The anecdote about the guy from Denmark — I had the exact conversation/experience with a guy from Sweden. He gave the old “The-US-is-too-harsh-on-the-poor” shtick, ranted about our healthcare, we aren’t green enough, etc.
A few weeks later he announced to the office that he had just become a citizen. Dumbfounded, I later asked him why he wasn’t going to return to Sweden — he stated he couldn’t make the same money or live as well in Europe.

Obama didn't lose Nevada in 2008. I know; I went up there and worked on McCain's campaign for a week, only to see Obama win by more than 12%. A humiliating ass-kicking in a state that should have been close.
Be of good cheer, however! We have some up-and-coming conservative Hispanics such as Susana Martinez, Marco Rubio, Brian Sandoval, Bill Flores, Francisco Canseco, Jaime Herrera, Raul Labrador and David Rivera. We only need to peel off 35% or 40% of the Hispanic vote to make life hell for the Democrats.
This article is epoch.
So is this one:
It may not have been written by Walter Williams. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s true.
