The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a catastrophe of historic dimensions, The oil slick we see on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thousands of barrels of oil are spewing into the waters off of Louisiana, and nobody is "turning the spigot off." Because the "spigot" is 5,000 feet underwater, turning it off is a hazardous, uncertain enterprise.

In a recent article in "The Weekly Standard," Jeff Bergner wrote about the American Narrative -- how it has been written by the Left; adopted by our culture, and accepted by Democrats and Republicans alike.
Bergner says that the Narrative goes something like this: From its founding, America has been working towards the ideal of equality for all. This goal is an inevitable certainty, although it must be aided now and again by the use of will, and power. The best means of ensuring equality for all, is through the auspices of strong government entitlement programs.
Those who oppose the Narrative are evil, backward, selfish rubes, who place their own self-interest before the welfare of others. The Narrative also says that American exceptionalism is a misguided, parochial elitism, that prevents world peace, and encourages a divisive American arrogance.
Recently I've noticed several things that the Progressives are having trouble with. Well, actually a LOT of things, but this article will focus on just a few of them.
First of all, Obama, like most Progressives, seems to have a problem identifying the U.S. Constitution.
In his State of the Union address, Obama stated that "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal...."
Darn near made me want to stand up and salute, (something our POTUS could use some lessons in, by the way). There's a problem here, however. It turns out that "the notion that we are all created equal" is not "enshrined in our Constitution" -- it's from the Declaration of Independence.
