A few days ago I wrote an article entitled "The EPA can go to Hell, and I will go to Texas". The article pointed out that Texas could (and does) favorably manage it’s own environmental policy while maintaining a superior economy. Both of which the federal government has failed to do. The EPA’s goal is simple: accrual of more power into the hands of the gluttonous feds.
For the last week, Governor Perry and the Texas legislature have been rattling the 10th amendment sabers and highlighting the success of the Texas policies. However, this week, the EPA officially took over control of the permitting process for one of these Texas refineries. EPA Region 6 Administrator Al Armendariz stated that the EPA is prepared to take over Texas' entire permitting process. Now that the EPA has made its move, it is time for Texas leaders to quit talking and take significant action.

After proclaiming loudly that a tough immigration stance was going to really, really hurt candidates among Hispanic voters, Democrats have finally looked at some polling and decided that to a great degree the country agrees with the Republican position.
Just six weeks ago, Liberal Democrats like Al Sharpton were quaking with righteous indignation over the passage of the new immigration law in Arizona. According to the New York Daily News from April 26, 2010: "Sharpton said he would mobilize people from across the country to march in Arizona -- and get arrested, if necessary -- to stop the controversial new law."
Now, according to Politico.com: Democratic officials have concluded there's only one way they can hope to pass a comprehensive immigration bill: Talk more like Republicans.
Carrie Budoff Brown reports the Democrats have done a multi-year study and decided to "craft an enforcement-first, law-and-order, limited-compassion pitch" including calling "the 12 million people who unlawfully reside the country 'illegal immigrants,' not 'undocumented workers.'"
