At least, if you take him at his word, that seems to be what he is saying.  I’d hate to think our President would say things he didn’t mean just to get elected.  That would be lying.

To quote Instapundit, heh. With all the ups and downs of the primary season, I was waiting for a tipping point.  With Rubio’s endorsement of Romney, we have reached that tipping point.

The funny thing to me was that Drudge Report was linked to Fox News on their coverage of the endorsement, but the browser cache was such that when Drudge linked to the story, it brought up a new Fox News headline that was not on my already open Fox News page.  Drudge was so fast, he beat my browser refresh (and Fox News site’s own refresh).

Anyway, this means it’s over, Romney will be the nominee.

Here is an impressive depressing summary of just one day’s worth of news regarding government intervention in our economy, with the obvious result being the continuing recession, brought to you by David Boaz of the Cato Institute.

The conservative movement is intent on remembering how valuable Andrew Breitbart is to the movement.

#IAmAndrewBreitbart

If I was President, I would make a speech before a joint session of Congress, demanding that Bin Laden be delivered within 48 hours to the steps of the White House--alive, dead or just his fucking head in a burlap bag, I don't care. If not, then I suggest that all you assholes in Kabul lather up with some SPF 5,000, strap on some welding goggles and take a gander to the East, because we're gonna fire a little 400 kiloton shot over the bow, so to speak.

Then came the emails. And the Follows. 1,000 in about an hour. My jaws clenched, tears blurred my vision as I typed (as they blur them now as I type): My hero is dead. Andrew Breitbart is dead.
Long live Andrew Breitbart.

I wish I had more time right now to say more about the unexpected death of a great conservative fighter, Andrew Breitbart, who collapsed and passed away suddenly last night here in Los Angeles.

I only met him once, and barely had a chance to speak to him, but I am a great admirer of his life and his dedication to the conservative movement.

His book Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I save the World! is a deeply personal tour through his life and how he came to the belief that journalism, and much of society, is broken.  To his credit, after realizing this, he set out to do something about it. 

I only hope he was far enough in his plans that his battle will continue though his web sites, Big Journalism, Big Government, and the others.

Rest in Peace, Andrew, and thank you for fighting for all of us.

The left’s new favorite buzz word is sustainable.  In theory, it has an obvious meaning, basically building things that can last and are easy to maintain and even self-repairing.  Like clean air, it’s a concept no one can object to.  Or is it? 

The problem is that the left uses words to guide thoughts, while the right uses thoughts to guide words.

Take the phrase “Sustainable Economy”.  If you Google it, you get a bunch of liberal web sites promoting environmental causes and income redistribution.  To preserve things as they are forever, never change, never grow.  So it does not mean building to last to them, it means building towards communism.  To quote Mark Levin, “Yes, I said it!”  Communism.  What else can you call it when the goal is getting away from free market capitalism?

Or, to look at it the other way.  What economic system is actually sustainable – built to last, easy to maintain, and self-repairing?  The only one is free market capitalism.  Every other economic system has failed miserably every place it was tried.  The problem with our economy is not that we have too much capitalism, it’s that we have too little.  

As a result, we now have idiots like Timothy Geithner pushing the idea that the rich should have to pay more for the privilege of being an American, in order to achieve fiscal sustainability. 

I, for one, am tired of liberals telling me I need to pay for my privileges, when all they are really asking me to do is pay for THEIR privileges.  Not only that, I have a right to be an American, it is not simply a privilege, and under our constitution, I am not required to pay anything for those rights.  What I am supposed to pay for is the general good, which should include serving my needs too.  Instead, my taxes are being used to promote the needs of people who have opted to drop out of participating in our society, as well as to benefit an elected class intent on accumulating power and personal wealth.

Capitalism is inherently self-repairing.  It only fails when people who do not believe in the fundamental advantages of capitalism have enough power to prevent the system from the corrections it would otherwise make.  

Remember that the next time someone shoves the word sustainable into a sentence.  They are not trying to create something that lasts, they are trying to tear down something they hate, and get you to agree to it one word at a time.

Very funny.  Well, very funny if you are a total blog geek.  H/T Steve Milloy.  If you don’t know who Charles Johnson or LGF is, then you need to do some more research.
