Conservative glee at America's rebuff by the Olympic Committee show that the guiding principle of Republicans is spite pure and simple. If they think something might be good for the president, they're against it -- whether or not it's good for America.

Nowhere does the Constitution say we are being granted rights. It says only that the government cannot deprive us of them. If we don't put a stop to government abuses, we are going to wake up one day and find all our "God-given" rights are gone.

California will begin issuing IOUs instead of cash due to a budget crisis. Sadly, but not surprisingly, politicians and judges will continue to get greenbacks, while the poor, elderly, and disabled will be stuck with California's new "currency."
