The company was helped by a strong turnaround in its North American auto operations, which had an operating profit of almost $1.3 billion compared to a loss of nearly $665 million a year earlier.

Here's how my June 14, 2006, column started:
"Down through the years, I've attempted to warn my fellow Americans about the tyrannical precedent and template for further tyranny set by anti-tobacco zealots ... .What the anti-tobacco zealots established is that government had the right to forcibly control our lives if it was done in the name of 'protecting' our health..."In the early stages of the anti-tobacco campaign, there were calls for 'reasonable' measures such as non-smoking sections on airplanes and health warnings on cigarette packs. In the 1970s, no one would have ever believed such measures would have evolved into today's level of attack on smokers, which includes confiscatory cigarette taxes and bans on outdoor smoking. The door was opened, and the zealots took over."

Britain is one of the few countries in the world not to have completely banned smacking, European Union leaders say, as they called for a change in the law.

Comedy Central, as we by now are well familiar, censored images and references to Muhammad in the latest episode of South Park. One would think that in our free society, our leaders, media and citizens would collectively stand together and defend South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Unfortunately, the situation is the reverse; the L.A. Times’ coverage of the Muslim death threats made to Parker and Stone perfectly manifests our media’s and culture’s disposition: the report does not back free speech nor denounce the censorship of the show, let alone the death threats or the Islamic theology on which they are based...

“Before, no one would dare mention to other Americans that they were even thinking of renouncing their U.S. nationality. Now, it is an openly discussed issue.”

The goal of Republican welfare reform was to help families move to employment and self-sufficiency and end long-term dependence on government assistance. This policy was repealed by Obama's stimulus, which will add more families to welfare dependency by paying bonuses to states that increase their welfare caseloads.
Nothing promotes that goal as much as discouraging marriage and providing financial incentives to increase the number of single moms.

Americans watched in horror in 2008 as their tax dollars were used to prop up, bail out or otherwise broker the rescue of one Wall Street institution after another. That year, we were promised that if we just voted for Democrats, they'd take care of those big, bad banks and nothing like this would ever happen again.
Two years later, none of the misguided government regulations that caused the mess are even being discussed. Instead, Democrats are demonizing the business that played by the rules they themselves imposed and are setting taxpayers up for massive and never-ending bailouts - at government's discretion of course...
