It's Time For A 21st-century Retirement Age.

No Matter How You Rearrange President Obama's Inner Circle, It Still Looks, Smells And Tastes Like A Rotten Chicago Deep-dish Pizza.

Acorn, You May Recall, Is The Left-wing Activist Group With Longtime Ties To Community Organizer-turned-president Barack Obama. The Nonprofit, Which Now Takes In 40 Percent Of Its Revenues From American Taxpayers After Four Decades On The Public Teat, Has A History Of Engaging In Voter Fraud, Corporate Shakedowns, Partisan Bullying And Pro-illegal Immigration Lobbying. The Democrats' Stimulus Proposals Could Make The Group - And Its Lesser Known But Even More Radical Ideological Allies - Eligible For Upward Of $5 Billion In New Public Cash.

Washington Continues To Encourage Ever More Ill-considered Lending In A Misguided Attempt To Stave Off Needed Market Corrections. The Currently Proposed Combination Of A Nationwide Infrastructure Spending Orgy Plus Tax-cut Bribes Does Nothing To Remedy That.

The Truly Bold Thing For Obama To Do Would Be To Tell The Panic-mongers And Boondoggle-seekers To Shove It, And To Tell Taxpayers To Ride Out The Rest Of The Tough Times While He Gets Washington's Own Economic House In Order.

It's Time For Ordinary Americans To Come Out Of The Shadows And Remind Washington Every Day In Words And Actions That We Are A Sovereign Nation, Not A Sanctuary Nation.
