Senator Marco Rubio delivered a major foreign policy speech at the Jesse Helms Center in Wingate, North Carolina; this is a fantastic speech. I can't wait to see what's in the future for this man.

Rand Paul Schools Administration Official
Senator Paul really let this lady have it, and he did it nicely. I'm glad that he is in the halls of power, challenging the premises of the permanent political class and calling them out on their unwarranted control over our lives. Watch:

Soldier Field 9/11 National Anthem
This afternoon on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 we, across our nation, engaged in one of our most famous and popular past-times: football. Each game began with a special ceremony where the National Anthem was performed, but one performance stood out from the others. Watch below to see why:
Each American should begin their day by watching that video. God Bless the USA!

Sarah Palin Goes On Offense In Iowa
Governor Sarah Palin looked a lot like a presidential candidate on Saturday, speaking at a large rally in Indianola, Iowa. The Governor laid out a bold plan, vision, and governing agenda for the future of America, and she didn't hold back for the sake of anyone. Palin took square aim at what she called "corporate crony capitalism", she laid out an economic agenda that she said "will make America the most attractive country on earth to do business in", and she laid out an energy policy; stating that "It is time for America to become the energy superpower" and that "America's economic revival starts with America's energy revival". Watch the electrifying speech: (Video Enclosed)
Ron Paul Goes After Rick Perry
Texas Congressman Ron Paul released an ad that directly confronts Governor Rick Perry. Paul, whether you would vote for him or not, does well in pointing out one of Perry's significant shortcomings.
The Old Incivility of The New Left
Yesterday, being Labor Day, our President and his Vice President (both being big union guys) spoke at separate rallies hosted by national union organizations. Neither backed away from the opportunity to say that Republicans were waging war on labor and the middle class, which is typical Labor Day talk for those two, but Joe Biden took it a step further.

"On The Future Of Libya"
The following statement was issued moments ago by Governor Sarah Palin, via Facebook:
"We join the Libyan people in gratefulness as we hear of Col. Gaddafi's defeat. The fall of a tyrant and sponsor of terrorism is a great day for freedom-loving people around the world. But the path to democracy in Libya is not complete, and we must make wise choices to ensure that our national interests are protected.
"First, the White House needs to avoid triumphalism. Gaddafi may be gone, but the fighting may not be complete. As we've seen in Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, we must not celebrate too quickly. There are now mounting concerns that we will see tribal and sectarian fighting in Libya as we saw in Iraq. Let's hope that is not the case, but it must be prepared for.
Second, we must be very concerned about the future government that will emerge to take Gaddafi's place. History teaches that those with the guns usually prevail when a coalition overthrows a tyrant. We must remember that military power ultimately resides with the rebel commanders. This should be a source of some concern. The armed opposition to Gaddafi is an outgrowth of a group called Islamic Libya Fighting Group, and some rebel commanders admit that they have Al Qaeda links. The rebel fighters are from different tribes, and they have a variety of political views. Some are Islamists, some appear to favor some sort of western democracy. We should work through diplomatic means to help those who want democracy to come out on top.
That said, we should not commit U.S troops or military assets to serve as peacekeepers or perform humanitarian missions or nation building in Libya. Our military is already over-committed and strained, and a vaguely designed mission can be the first step toward a quagmire. The internal situation does not seem stable enough for U.S forces to operate in a purely humanitarian manner without the possibility of coming under attack. Troop deployment to Libya would mean placing America's finest in a potentially hostile zone that is not in our vital national security interest.
Finally, we must make sure that terrorist groups don't try to co-opt the revolution, as Al Qaeda is trying to do in Syria. We should continue to use our intelligence assets to monitor the situation in Libya to ensure that potentially dangerous weapons are secured, and that terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda don't gain a foothold in Libya.
People of Libya, be vigilant. May this opportunity be used to build a free and peaceful country."

Paul Ryan Will Stay Budget Comm. Chairman
Wisconsin Congressman, and current House Budget Committee Chairman, Paul Ryan made clear this afternoon that he would not be seeking his party's nomination for president in 2012. There has been much speculation, primarily by The Weekly Standard, that Ryan would run. Ryan is the author of the GOP 2012 budget "Path to Prosperity" and "Ryan's Roadmap for America's Future": a plan to make America's entitlement systems of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security solvent.
Ryan released a statement saying "I sincerely appreciate the support from those eager to chart a brighter future for the next generation. While humbled by the encouragement, I have not changed my mind, and therefore I am not seeking our party's nomination for president. I remain hopeful that our party will nominate a candidate committed to a pro-growth agenda of reform that restores the promise and prosperity of our exceptional nation. I remain grateful to those I serve in Southern Wisconsin for the unique opportunity to advance this effort in Congress."
