June 26th, 2008 will be remembered as a very famous day in History. Today, for the first time, the SCOTUS has acknowledged that the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives individuals a right to keep and bear arms. In a case that strikes down D.C.’s handgun ban as unconstitutional, the Court ruled the Constitution does not allow “the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home.” A victory for law-abiding American citizens and a resounding defeat for elitists like Barack Obama who say we’re not allowed to defend ourselves.

Here’s a silly little photo from a series I call Candy Wars.

• Obama closely linked with ethanol
  When VeraSun Energy inaugurated a new ethanol processing plant last summer in Charles City, Iowa, some of that industry’s most prominent boosters showed up — and so did Senator Barack Obama.
  When are we going to start hearing about Obama’s ties to “Big Ethanol?”  If it’s up to the drive-by media, probably never.
  
• A letter to my friend, the Governator
  I’m writing to ask you to reconsider your opposition against lifting the ban on drilling off the coasts of the United States. The congressional ban can be rescinded without your voice, but you’re still a heavyweight in one of the largest coastal states.
  Once again, Chuck states things better than any politician I’ve heard talking about the gas crisis.  Maybe he should run for public office?  Maybe McCain should pick him as VP?
  

• State denies cancer treatment, offers suicide instead
  State officials have offered a lung cancer patient the option of having the Oregon Health Plan, set up in 1994 to ration health care, pay for an assisted suicide but not for the chemotherapy prescribed by her physician.
  If Obama gets elected and implements his socialist/Marxist policies, this is exactly what we’ll have nation wide. Rationing of health care and an ever increasing nanny state.

• Dems want control over U.S. oil flow
  The itch to control the U.S. oil industry is spreading among Democrats in Washington, with Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-NY, joining in a call to nationalize the energy company assets. “We should own the refineries,” Hinchey said today.
  No wonder Hugo is such a hero to these guys. They want to run our country the same way Chavez runs his banana republic down there in South America.
• Customer foils bank robbery attempt in Canton Township with his own handgun
  It took a day of congratulatory calls from friends before Nabil Fawzi realized the risk he took by pulling a gun a would-be bank robber standing just feet away, claiming to have a bomb. But the gas station owner said he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
  Proving once more that we need an armed citizenry to keep our country safe
• High-Achieving Students in the Era of No Child Left Behind
  According to a new study, increased emphasis on helping students with a history of lower academic achievement results in lower performance for high achievers. This trend appears to be related to the No Child Left Behind Act.
