"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

Carville madder than ever over Gulf oil spill



The federal government announced Monday it is issuing a new moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico effective until as late as November 30. A federal judge threw out a previous six-month ban. Last week, a federal appeals panel rejected the government's request to overturn the judge's decision.
 As of July 15:
Birds: 1,866 collected dead; 1,120 collected alive; 505 released
Sea turtles: 463 collected dead; 197 collected alive; 9 nests transported; 56 hatchlings released
Mammals (including dolphins): 59 collected dead; 5 collected alive; one released
The number of fish, shrimp, oysters and other sea creatures killed or harmed is unknown.



Inept bureaucrats, political stupidity: This was said on Day 37


Dems screaming, 'Drill, Baby, Drill'
