Roy Barnes is an Obama wannabe. He is beholden to the teacher’s unions and the “disenfranchised minorities” inside Georgia‘s urban areas (his “big ticket” legacy was getting rid of Georgia’s former “evil” state flag).

As soon as we allow the federal government to skip over the question, “Should we do something?” directly to the question, “What should we do?”, on an issue for which there is no Constitutional authority, we have lost important ground, even [...]

By Arthur C. Brooks at The Washington Post: America faces a new culture war. This is not the culture war of the 1990s. It is not a fight over guns, gays or abortion.
