Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC):
"Pricing carbon is the key to energy independence"
“We are more dependent on foreign oil today than after 9/11. That is political malpractice, and every member of Congress is responsible.”

Interesting article in Newsweek about the up-and-coming conservative and candidate for senate, Marco Rubio.
Sadly, there is no explanation for the photo:
Portrait of a Tepid Tea Partier
U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio hopes to harness the movement without getting burned.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/23318…"Rubio maintains that he has never voted for a tax increase, yet PolitiFact found that he "repeatedly voted to force school districts statewide to collect more property taxes."
"While House speaker in 2008, he also blocked a half-dozen bills that sought to crack down on illegal immigration, an issue that infuriates many conservatives. (He responds that the legislature had its hands full that year and that immigration is a federal matter.)"
"Then there's Rubio's record on cap-and-trade. He has hammered Crist for supporting the program to reduce carbon emissions, but, as it turns out, Rubio declared in 2008 that such a regimen was "inevitable" and that Florida should prepare for it."
"He also ushered an energy bill through the Florida House that gave the Department of Environmental Protection the authority to create a cap-and-trade program. (He says any such plan would have required approval from the legislature, which would have blocked it—a claim many find nonsensical.)"

Arne Duncan, The US Secretary of Education, wrote a good article in the Washington Post.
Direct student loans: A better way to invest in education
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp…"For too long, bankers have gotten a free ride from the U.S. Department of Education.
Under current law, taxpayers provide as much as $9 billion each year to subsidize guaranteed student loans issued by banks. The banks earn profits on the interest; if students default, taxpayers take the loss, not the banks. In other words, working Americans pay while bankers get rich.
Meanwhile, educators, engineers and computer scientists -- the backbone of the new economy -- face crushing debt from six-figure college tuitions. A study of national postsecondary student aid found that in 2008, two-thirds of college seniors graduated with debt averaging more than $23,000. That number will rise as public and private college tuition costs escalate."

"In America, the process, rather than expressing the vigour of a people which has remained in the pre-civilised state, follows an inflexible determinism according to which man, as he closes his mind to all forms of spirituality and gives himself over to the will of temporal things, ceases by this very act to belong to himself, and becomes a subordinate part of an irrational collective authority which he can no longer control. America, by the sanctification of the temporal and the secularisation of the sacred started by the Protestant heresy, has arrived at this exact point. By carrying through with thoroughness the ideal of the materialistic conquest of the world which Europe had first proposed, it has ended up - almost without realising it - with the materialisation in practice of every sense of power, sanity, activity and personality, thus building an even more dreadful form of barbarism. Here asceticism is considered a waste of time, and the ascetic an anachronistic parasite 'useless to society' ; the Warrior is considered a dangerous fanatic, whom opportune humanitarian-pacifist prophylaxes should eliminate, and replace, perhaps, with the boxer. The perfect type, the spiritual champion, is instead the 'man who works, who produces', and every form of activity, even spiritual, is assessed only in terms of 'work', 'productive work', 'social service' : nothing could show more typically that at the top of such a society is precisely the representative type of the last of the ancient classes, that of the slaves who work.

Lobbyists from the IIPA (International Intellectual Property Alliance) demand from the U.S. government sanctions against Indonesia, because Indonesia is planning to switch to Linux. Can you imagine the level of shiteatedness americans have come to?
http://opensource.com/government…
And it is perfectly reasonable, because if the country switches to Linux, it will not pay billions of dollars to Microsoft and other purulent fatchumming zombies, ie. americans.
So, accordingly, americans incur losses, and especially in the case of Indonesia, which is becoming increasingly richer, a country with a population of 250 millions, almost the size of america itself.So americans began to equate open source software with software piracy and an overall lack of respect for their copyright laws.
"Combating piracy" is merely paying tributes to the bandits of US and A. If in ancient times a bandit state would seize a country by force and demand tribute, american bandits buy legislators (by wholesale), and vote for anything harmful, mean and cowardly:
http://cache.qbn.com/topics/5646…If you ever see a villain who is in favor of copyright, its not just a
police informer, but the same agent of international gangster capital that I have described here, or simply an idiot, or a person who have been paid some money.A list of countries IIPA suggests to be watched, because they don't respect copyright laws:

Watching Certain People
by Bob Herbert
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/0…"From 2004 through 2009, in a policy that has gotten completely out of control, New York City police officers stopped people on the street and checked them out nearly three million times, frisking and otherwise humiliating many of them.
"Upward of 90 percent of the people stopped are completely innocent of any wrongdoing."
"Not only are most of the people innocent, but a vast majority are either black or Hispanic. "
"This is a massive database of innocent, overwhelmingly black and Latino people,” said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union."
____I'm posting it because it's not just a huge horrible mess, but I'm looking for the conservative and Tea Party sympathizer perspective here. This is an active display of government over-reaching its authority and building a database of innocent citizens...
...Right?
