Subject: Teacher of the Year !!!!!This teacher is truly a genius!
As the late Adrian Rogers said, “you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before,
but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A…
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that. Remember, there is a mid-term election in 2010!

Byron York – GOP winning war over Miranda rights for terrorists

Byron York – GOP winning war over Miranda rights for terrorists

On Capitol Hill, there’s a war being fought over the War on Terror, and so far, Republicans are winning. Or at least they’re winning the Battle of Miranda.

GOP lawmakers believe they are having some success in the effort to stiffen the spine of the Obama administration as it makes policy for dealing with captured terrorist suspects in the future. Even as the administration defends its decision to grant accused Detroit bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab the right to remain silent, the president himself is hinting that things might be done differently in the future.

Julie Mason – Obama vows to focus on jobs, but keeps talking about health care

President Obama’s surprise plans for a bipartisan summit on health care eclipsed his stated priority to pass a jobs bill, sending a mixed message about the administration’s objectives.

The last-ditch effort to save his unpopular signature issue also received a cold reception from Republicans, who said their best idea for health care reform is to scrap it .

Michael Barone – The Murtha district

Presumably there will be a special election in Pennsylvania 12 to replace Murtha on May 18, which is primary day. This is the only district in the nation that voted for John Kerry in 2004 and John McCain in 2008. You might want to explain that as an affinity for Vietnam veterans. The better explanation is that it is part of the Jacksonian belt that starts in southwest Pennsylvania and extends along the Appalachians and southwestward to Tennessee and Texas an area where Barack Obama ran very poorly in both the primaries and the general election in 2008. In any case, it voted only narrowly (51%-49%) for Kerry and favored McCain over Obama by an even narrower margin (49%-49%, a margin of 873 votes).

David Freddoso – Rep. Steve Cohen, D, already chasing Murtha’s ambulance

In a television interview this afternoon, Democratic Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen pronounced judgment on the doctors who were operating on Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., when he died. Cohen, a government attorney before he began his political career, was asked about tort reform in health care when he brought up Murtha’s death:

"As we speak today, Rep. John Murtha died. And he was my friend, and he served this country for many years…He died because, when he went in for gall bladder surgery, his intestine was perforated. And that shouldn’t have happened. It was, from what I understand, malpractice."

Susan Ferrechio – Republicans leery of Obama’s bipartisan play

President Obama’s plan to revive his stalled health care initiatives through a bipartisan summit got a skeptical reception from Republicans, who say they will be "reluctant" to participate if the plan is only meant to tweak the massive Democratic proposal already in play.

Super Bowl ads as ‘teachable moments’

Examiner Editorial

"You picked the wrong day to mess with the eco-system, plastic boy."

Obama’s handling of terrorists lacks common sense

Bill O’Reilly, Examiner Columnist

"The people who hate us are not going to change their minds because a jury condemns the terrorists to death instead of military officers. Do Holder and the president not get that?"

Unlearned lessons from New JerseyCal Thomas, Examiner Columnist

"The problem in New Jersey and with the federal government under Democrats and some Republicans is that ideology has trumped history and common sense when it comes to taxes and spending."

Criminals start as children, too

Diane Dimond, Examiner Columnist

"The professionals say RAD, as it’s called, isn’t just a trendy diagnosis du jour. They’ve discovered that young children who fail to form meaningful bonds, those who display early aggression and antisocial behaviors, often grow up to be sociopaths and turn to lives of crime."

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ advocates aren’t dealing with the facts

Steve Chapman, Examiner columnist

"If unit cohesion can survive the presence of killers, rapists and child molesters, why would it shatter on contact with gays and lesbians?"

Recession chugs on, except in government

Examiner Editorial

"The federal civil service is rapidly expanding as Obama increases the size of government, with 33,000 new positions being added in January alone. Only 9,000 of those new slots were for temporary census jobs."

Memo to Arianna: Stop being silly

Hugh Hewitt, Examiner Columnist

Chris Stirewalt – Prof. Obama offers a remedial health care class

What the president is really talking about is the kind of dialogue favored by professors who teach courses to clueless freshmen.

Michael Barone – Public-sector unions bleed taxpayers

Obama and his party are acting in collusion with unions that contributed something like $400,000,000 to Democrats in the 2008 campaign cycle. Public-sector unionism tends to be a self-perpetuating machine that extracts money from taxpayers and then puts it on a conveyor belt to the Democratic party.

Byron York – White House: Top GOP leaders didn’t object to reading Abdulmutallab his rights

Appearing on “Meet the Press,” Brennan said that on Christmas night, just hours after Abdulmutallab tried to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253, Brennan called top Republican lawmakers, telling them that Abdulmutallab was in FBI custody. “None of those individuals raised any concerns with me at that point,” Brennan said. “They didn’t say, Is he going into military custody? Is he going to be Mirandized?”

Byron York – GOP fires back: White House did not tell us about reading Abdulmutallab his rights

A spokesman for Boehner says, “On an unclassified/non-secure call to Boehner’s cell phone that was very short, John Brennan informed Boehner that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was in custody. The call imparted no other substantive information and Brennan did not inform Boehner that the administration had read Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights.” And Bond released a statement saying that Brennan “never told me any of plans to Mirandize the Christmas Day bomber — if he had I would told him the administration was making a mistake.”

Julie Mason – Obama looks for a way out of health care jam

Facing long odds and hardening public skepticism, President Obama is pushing forward with health care reform — with a twist.

In a speech to Democratic supporters, Obama laid out a new action plan for reform, calling on both parties in Congress work through existing legislation, then seek public input on what ideas work best.
