Traditionally, The Economist is known for its "Liberal Internationalist" view on economic and political matters; hardly the type of magazine that one would think to embrace conservative values. However, as any student of economics will tell you, one of the prime assumptions in any economic model is "rationality" - reason, logic, whatever you want to call it, Texans have got it!

We all watched the brutal suppression of peaceful protesters after the recent "free" elections in Iran. The results of the election lead us to, at the very least, wonder "what is the Obama team thinking"?You can't dialogue with someone who wants to destroy or just hurt you.
Here are some of my favorite reasons for hating this bill:
#22 - Your showerhead and faucet will now be federally regulated
#24 - The EPA is coming up with environmental standards for YOUR home. Want to sell it? Better make sure it's in compliance!
#25 - Own a business property? You'll need to reduce energy use by half by 2018. I guess you could just turn out all the lights and crank the air up to 76 degrees. Think your tenants will mind?
#28 - For that same business, you will also have to start keeping track of your emissions.
#44 - An energy based welfare check, yes, you read that right.

The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, US-CERT, was busy undoing the destruction endured after the U.S was cyber attacked over the Fourth of July weekend. The lead suspect behind this attack is North Korea, especially since South Korean government websites were also attacked.

A previous Texas GOP Vote.com blog The Obama Stimulus: Predictions vs. Reality explained the unfortunate reality that has become of the Stimulus bill. You would think that Obama and the supporters of this bill would have learned their lesson by now. However, instead of remedying the situation with less spending, Obama's advisers propose a different solution- a second stimulus package.
Victor Davis Hanson, in a National Review Online blog post, notices that Obama likes to have it both ways . . . and gets it. But, he wonders how long it will last:
In response, as I read between the lines, conservatives are told by the Obamans something to the effect, "Forget our prior demagoguery, aren't you at least happy we backtracked and are now adopting some of your war-on-terror positions we used to trash?", while liberals are supposed to be happy with something like, "Just forget all that stuff about ethics, transparency, and anti-lobbying/influence; we're in power now and will do anything necessary to fulfill your agenda."
Most of us would probably only use these words to describe the vilest of foes. In fact, I’m not sure my Preacher would ever tell me there was an appropriate time for these types of personal attacks, even in politics.
This is what the lawyers call an ad hominen attack. When you can’t attack the logic or reasoning of a man’s argument, you attack the man himself.
