5 Qlaims. (Cl. 128146) This invention relates to protection against contamination. More specifically, this invention relates to protection of people against contaminants present in the air,
such as bacteria and thelike. Still more specifically, this invention relates to an improved surgical mask, for use in two way protection of patients and doctors, nurses, den- Various types and designs of surgical masks are known to the prior art. The principal disadvantage of these masks is that they do not perform eifectively the function of cleaning the ,exhaledand inhaled air, this havingbeen shown by clinical tests. Attempts to increase the effectiveness of the masks have not been particularly successful and they have caused additional problems." For exam ple, the problem of. contamination Was attempted to be solved by increasing the' amount of filtering material included in the mask. This, however, caused increas'ed air.
flow around the sides of the mask, which air is not filtered at all. This was attempted to be solvedbyvarious means of holding the mask tight against the surface of the face.
.- This resulted in shortnessof breath, impairment of circulation to the head, and other objectionable symptoms.
- the disadvantages and; difficulties of the'surgical masks of through the mask, and instead directs the air in and out the sides of the mask and through the cellulose in filtering relation, increasing the contact time betweenthe air and the cellulose. Binding tapes or the like are provided to secure the mask to the head of the wearer. The mask is desirably worn with the impervious layer away from the face. Because of the improved structure and mask materials of the new surgical mask of my invention, it is not necessary for the mask to fit tightly, and a prime source of discomfort to a wearer is thus eliminated. Also, the soft, fluffy and flexible nature of the materials used in the mask adds to the masks comfort and effectiveness. Not least among the advantages of my new surgical mask is that the materials of which it is made can all be obtained cheaply,
thus encouraging the discarding'of a mask after oneus e.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new contamination prevention means.

Coating Materials
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings has introduced 2K Water-Based Urethane Anti-Graffiti, a low VOC (<100 g/L), super hydrophobic polyurethane coating designed for graffiti resistance and simpler graffiti removal.
The two-component coating system is the first to include tintable gloss and satin versions, Sherwin-Williams says.
Requiring only a dry cloth or environmentally friendly citrus cleaner to remove most types of graffiti, the coating is intended to protect bridges, overpasses and railcars, as well as commercial buildings, schools and transit stations, from being permanently defaced with spray paint or markers. Clean-up requires only soap and water.
Aesthetic Options
"A gloss finish isn't appealing for every surface, so this product provides aesthetic options while maintaining its intrinsic anti-graffiti properties," said Dee McNeil, Sherwin-Williams Bridge & Highway Market Development Director. The coating can be shaded to almost any color in-store.
McNeil said the coating provided "superior" color and gloss retention and would not fade or chalk over time.
The product comes in pre-measured sizes for easy mixing and can be used on virtually any prepared surface, McNeil said.
2K WB can be applied by brush, roller or airless spray and is formulated for fast drying.
Sherwin-Williams says its anti-graffiti line, which also includes Anti-Graffiti Clear Coat, was introduced to provide an easy-to-use aesthetic coating with superior protection against defacing.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Five regional testing centers being built around the country by Sandia National Laboratories will field-test hardware for solar companies before their multimillion-dollar solar systems are installed in buildings.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the test centers will be located in Albuquerque; Denver; Orlando, Fla.; Burlington, Vt.; and Las Vegas, Nev.
The centers will provide enhanced monitoring and improved performance prediction capabilities for new technologies being introduced to the market and will have detailed weather stations and measuring and monitoring equipment.
They will help develop standard procedures to assess performance of large-scale systems that other labs, utilities and investors can use.

When working in the service industry or with the public in general, a "code white" is a call sign designating a whiny, hand-wringing white person who requires an elevated amount of attention and/or help. Usually elderly, well-off, or both, but always white. Or, a white busy-body who is a burden to everyone they come into contact with.
"Security to front desk. It's 2:23am, and I've got a woman here asking me to find out who parked in front of her hotel room. She wants us to call them and ask them to 'please move.' Looks like a code white, over."

Nearly 40 percent of the agency's executives are eligible to retire
The Internal Revenue Service faces a loss of experienced agency leaders and technical employees that could threaten its tax services, but the agency's new employees aren't staying long either, a new report states.
The IRS has about 106,000 employees, including 9,100 managers. However, more than half of them are at least 50 years old, and 39 percent of IRS executives are already eligible for retirement, according to a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration report released Sept. 8. The IRS estimates that it would need to recruit one manager a day for the next 10 years to fill the projected shortage.
"While the IRS has recently increased its focus on workforce issues, there is a risk that it may not have the right people, in the right place, at the right time in order to meet the challenges of its changing workforce," said Inspector General J. Russell George.
The report notes that the IRS has an opportunity to reshape its workforce as the baby boomer generation becomes eligible to retire. But officials also need to pay attention to how many employees leave the agency in the first few years of their employment.
In fiscal 2007 and 2008, more than 15 percent of new IRS employees left the agency in their first year. And in fiscal 2008, nearly 21 percent of employees left in their first two years.
The IRS's challenges mirror those at many other departments and agencies. The state of the acquisition workforce, in particular, is becoming increasingly worrisome as experienced hands leave the ranks. The Federal Acquisition Institute, which issues an annual report on the acquisition workforce, found that 13 percent of contracting officers are now eligible to retire, and 52 percent will be eligible by fiscal 2018. The average age of contracting officers is 46.
The institute and many other federal officials are urging agencies to improve their succession planning, which involves training midlevel managers to take on leadership roles when higher-level employees leave.
TIGTA officials noted that certain statistics can help agency leaders understand their employees' plans. For instance, the IRS just started tracking how engaged and motivated its employees are. Since fiscal 2007, employees' level of engagement has climbed slightly from 3.66 on a 5-point scale to 3.72 last year. The IRS also monitors employees' job satisfaction. That measure climbed from 64 percent in 2005 to 72 percent last year.

An Obama administration official says Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will announce Monday that his department is temporarily barring the filing of new uranium mining claims on about 1 million acres near the Grand Canyon.
The official says the land is being "segregated" for two years so that the department can study whether it should be permanently withdrawn from mining activity. The source spoke anonymously because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The official says the acreage being set aside doesn't include thousands of uranium mining claims already filed near the canyon.
He says it's not possible to prevent mining on existing claims under the General Mining Act of 1872 unless Congress was to appropriate money for the department to buy up the claims.

Are you currently facing any legal trouble? If you are, you'll need the services of a lawyer. A lawyer can mean the difference between a ruling in your favor or a ruling in your opponents favor. Check out the following tips for information on how to find a good lawyer.
Do not allow yourself to judge an attorney based on how good their advertisements are. The reality is that an attorney that is reputable doesn't have to advertise to get new clients. Look into your attorney's background and use what you find to help you make the decision about whether or not to hire them.
Talk to an attorney in Greensburg PA or elsewhere before you make your final a selection. Don't hire the first lawyer you speak with. You want an attorney who you can trust, so interview several potential candidates. In addition to the standard qualifications, determine whether their personality will work well with your own, as you may be spending a great deal of time together.
You should wait a while after you meet an attorney before deciding whether or not to hire them. After the first meeting, call a few times to see how long it takes for them to get back to you. If it is not an acceptable time, you should hire someone else.
A good tip if you're thinking about hiring a lawyer is to not get swept away with just the costs alone. Deciding on the cheapest lawyer around isn't always the best idea, and it can actually cost you more in the long run because they might not be very experienced.
When looking for a good lawyer, make sure to obtain personal references. Talking to the local community that have experienced issues similar to you. For instance, if you're a victim of sexual harassment, speak with a women's group. Ask them about the lawyers they had and what their experiences were like.
Ask everyone you know if they've used a lawyer for a legal situation such as yours, and who they might recommend. Don't forget to collect references for the lawyers on your short list and check them out. Also conduct a background check and Google them to see what others say about their services.
You should establish a budget before you start looking for a lawyer. Go over your finances and assess how much you can afford to spend on a lawyer. You should not let lawyers know about your budget when you ask for quotes but this is a good way to narrow down your research.
Before you hire a lawyer, see if you can resolve any dispute without one. Often people are able to resolve their problems without having to find a lawyer. If you are not able to solve your problem without a lawyer, then it is in your best interest to have a lawyer on your side.
Often, lawyers are specialized in a specific area of the law. If you need a lawyer, make sure you find one that can help you in the exact area that you need. Do not try to hire a personal injury lawyer to help you with your bankruptcy. Even if you are referred by a friend, if the lawyer is not specialized in the area of law you need, then keep looking.
If you need a specialized lawyer, ask the lawyers you are considering about their specialized training. There are seminars and additional classes lawyers can take to learn more about a specific issue. For instance, lawyers who are qualified to help you with filing for bankruptcy should be members of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.
There are many different specialties when it comes to lawyers just beyond criminal law. They will come in handy if you have a need for obtaining a divorce or filing for bankruptcy. They can also help with jobs or contractors.
Find a lawyer that specializes in your type of case. There are general lawyers that can deal with just about anything, but find one that specializes in whatever you need. For example, if you need a lawyer to deal with a divorce, find one that specializes in divorce. There are also lawyers who deal with medical cases, vehicle accidents, family law, financial matters and just about anything else you can think of.
Before hiring a family law lawyer, talk to the city to see if any legal assistance is offered. There are often attorneys who work for a discount for these types of cases. They can assist you with legal problems at a much lower fee than what a lawyer would charge you.
If you have legal problems, your best bet of overcoming them is by using a lawyer. A lawyer has the skills needed to argue your case in court and make sure that the court rules in your favor. If you put this article's tips to good use, you can find a lawyer who will meet your legal needs.

 Unified (Russian) State Exam in English: Reading Comprehension Tasks http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42403
The article summarizes the study of Reading Comprehension Tasks utilized in preparation for Unified (Russian) State Exam. The corpus of reading tasks was analyzed with the use of the classification algorithm developed by Weir and Urquhart (1998), and aimed at determining the level of engagement (local or global) and type of engagement (literal or interpretative) of a reader performing a Reading Task.

The analysis demonstrated manifestations of both levels and types of engagement: the majority of Reading Tasks of 'Heading-Text Match' type are found to be of 'global-interpretative' configuration, Tasks 2 in EGE Reading Section are typically of a 'local-literal' configuration, while Multiple Choice Tasks (Task 3) require both careful and expeditious (in rare cases) reading skills and two types of engagement—literal and interpretative.

The study contemplates significance of using citation at the English lessons by exposing its advantages. Quotations represent the enormous linguistic variety, which discloses the modern language that unambiguously assists students to develop skills of oral speech. Special attention is paid to the experimentconducted at the series of lessons in order to enhance students' linguistic interest, incentive and aimed at the development and improvement of communicative competence.
 Aida G. Sadykova Marianna E. Yashina Alina D. Sharafieva 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 The Formation of Students' National Self-Awareness in EFL Class http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42406
In the epoch of globalization it is urgently important to draw attention to the problem of the formation of national self-awareness of school students. Numerous researches in the Russian Federation show that there is a tendency of cultural level decreasing, according to which a great many school students are not aware not only of the world's cultural heritage, but have a vague idea of their own (national) culture. The authors examine the role of foreign languages learning in the formation of national self-awareness of students in High schools. Language, as it is, reflects the culture and history of the nation. Therefore it can be declared a unique source in the process of national self-awareness formation of school students. The cross-cultural approach and the cross-cultural comparative approach in teaching EFL let both, teachers and students, consider human problems from the standpoint of two or more cultures that contribute to the comparative-contrastive analysis of native culture phenomena and compare the native culture with the culture of the target language. Drawing on literature of teaching and learning EFL, multicultural studies, as well as personal international teaching and learning experience, the authors examine the teaching and learning techniques focused on these approaches and present the authentic model of the formation of students' national self-awareness based on the integration of teaching the language and local lore in EFL classes. The paper discusses issues and practices of the studied model and offers general recommendations for High schools faculty.
 Iskander E. Yarmakeev Tatiana S. Pimenova 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 The Formation of Students' Foreign Language Communicative Competence during the Learning Process of the English Language through Interactive Learning Technologies (The Study on the Basis of Kazan Federal University) http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42407
The relevance of this study is determined by the needs of modern society for qualified specialists, which leads to the necessity of improving the system of higher education. This dictates the need for a high-quality preparation of the teacher of English who is able to act as an active subject of the professional activity and who has high levels of communicative competence.

A future teacher of English must be fluent in a foreign language and must demonstrate high foreign language communicative competence. However, not all the students of language faculties and specializations reach this level. Thus, there arises the question about a search for new approaches, methods and means of formation of foreign language communicative competence of future teachers of English at the University.

At the same time, the student's foreign language communicative competence is an integrative personal quality, it is a tone which mediates along with other kinds of personal and professional development competence and defines its effectiveness in greater or lesser degree.

Interactive learning within the English language teaching provides a full communication between the students and the formation of skills of solving communicative tasks. The communicative competence defined as a significant component of the key competencies and the result of modern education includes linguistic, discourse, sociolinguistic and sociocultural competences as well as socio-personal interactive component correlated with cooperation and tolerance of the student.

This article is the result of a study of the influence of English and German on the Russian language during the English learning based on lexical borrowings in the field of economics. This paper discusses the use and recognition of borrowings from the English and German languages by Russian native speakers. The use of lexical borrowings from English and German by Russian people is examined across age groups, occupations and knowledge of foreign languages. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate that use and recognition of lexical borrowings vary between age groups, occupation and knowledge of foreign languages.Analyzing the results we found out that the age of an individual influences the degree of recognition of borrowings; people connected with the field of economics by their occupation performed more recognized borrowings; the occupation of the participants had more effect than knowledge of goal languages. Fully assimilated words were difficult to identify. The results may benefit English teachers in terms of emphasizing the signs of distinguishing borrowings to English learners, and contributing to using native words.
 Alsu Ashrapova Svetlana Alendeeva 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 The Implementation of Project and Research Activities in Working with Gifted Children in Terms of School—University Network Cooperation (Regional Aspect) http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42409
The article deals with regional experience in using modern strategies in teaching gifted children. The value of project and research activity is actualized as one of the most effective educational technologies in work with gifted children. The article shows examples of organization of combined project and research activities of student-teachers and pupils of specialized classes for gifted children within "school-university" framework. Such concepts as "ability", "genius" and "talent" are classified according to a single base i.e. success. As a result the nature of giftedness in its current understanding is that it is not seen as static but as a dynamic characteristic meaning a talent existing only in movement, in the development and as a consequence, its development requires certain conditions. In our study, the project-research activity of gifted children is carried out in close collaboration with the students of the department of Russian and foreign philology at Kazan (Volga region) Federal University within "school-university" framework. The special role of this form of cooperation is noted in the program and it is planned to involve the infrastructure of leading universities, innovative enterprises and creative industries to work with gifted children. A project named «Writing letters in English» has been developed to form communicative and socio-cultural skills of students.

The article focuses on some problems in teaching foreign languages, solution of which is successfully achieved through the method of free associations. The article also concerns the functioning of associative experiment in the course of teaching of foreign languages. In a technique of teaching of foreign languages free associative experiment is used, first of all, for studying of associative structure of memory at perception and interpretation of unknown foreign words, and also for research of problems of bilingualism and monoligualism.
 Leilya Mukhametzyanova Leysan Shayakhmetova 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 Comparative Coh-Metrix Analysis of Reading Comprehension Texts: Unified (Russian) State Exam in English vs Cambridge First Certificate in English http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42411
The article summarizes the results of the comparative study of Reading comprehension texts used in B2 level tests: Unified (Russia) State Exam in English (EGE) and Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE). The research conducted was mainly focused on six parameters measured with the Coh-Metrix, a computational tool producing indices of the linguistic and discourse representations of a text: narrativity, syntactic simplicity, word concreteness, referential cohesion, deep cohesion, Flesh Reading Ease. The research shows that the complexity of EGE texts caused by lower than in FCE texts cohesion is balanced with a simpler than in FCE texts syntax and higher narrativity thus resulting in about the same text complexity of the two sets of texts studied. EGE and FCE texts demonstrate correspondence to grade six and very similar Means of Flesh Reading Ease (FCE Mean is 71.06; EGE Mean is 78.25) which fit the band FAIRLY EASY.
 Marina I. Solnyshkina Elena V. Harkova Aleksander S. Kiselnikov 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 English Language in the Development of a Tolerant Person of the Student in a Multi-Ethnic Educational Environment of the University (For Example, Kazan Federal University) http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42412
Integration into the world community confronts the Russian education system purpose - education of the individual, having planetary thinking, able to see themselves not only as the representative of the native culture, living in a particular country, but also a citizen of the world, perceiving himself as the carrier and its foreign-language cultures. An important component of the socio-political development of multicultural education is the desire of both Russia and other countries integrate into the global European socio-cultural and educational space, while retaining their national identity. These processes contribute to the transformation of both Europe and Russia as a multilingual space where different languages have equal rights.

There is an urgent social need for the organization of purposeful work on the formation of a tolerant person of the student, the system combines knowledge of different cultures, the desire and the willingness to intercultural Polylog. This era of social order urgently requires development of the younger generation of universal values, acculturation of other nations, which increases the motivation to learn foreign languages, associated with the desire to establish and develop contacts with foreign countries. It is English as a language of international communication acts as the major means to realize this idea in a multi-ethnic educational environment of the university. The article presents the results of a study conducted at the Kazan Federal University.
 Rezida A. Fahrutdinova 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 Implementing Environmental Culture in the Language Learning Laboratory http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42413
The article deals with the description of the experimental work aimed at testing the effectiveness of the pedagogical conditions used in the environmental education of senior pupils by means of a foreign language. It is worth mentioning that during the experiment under the detection of the formation of the environmental education of senior pupils were identified the indicators by which we understand the environmental characteristics of the personality traits. The results were derived from the methods used in the process of the experiment, such as: conversation, testing, verification of empirical skills, analysis and synthesis. On the whole the difference in the results of the experimental groups significantly allows us to state the effectiveness of pedagogical conditions of the environmental education of senior pupils by means of a foreign language.
 Aida G. Sadykova Marianna E. Yashina Luiza R. Zakirova 2014-11-19 2014-11-19 7 The Case Study Technologies as the Means of Competency Building Approach Realization in Higher Education of Russia http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/elt/article/view/42414
The problem of increasing education efficiency in Russian high school under the condition of well-organized educational process with using "Case-study" technology is considered in the article. The article is devoted to the methodology of case study, and especially its implementation in Kazan Federal University, the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication.

The experiment was held in two groups (experimental and control) diagnosing communicative, social, occupational and educational cognitive motives and motives of self-actualization, avoiding failure and prestige. The study was conducted in such disciplines as "English Language", "Training and education in the field of foreign languages". To measure the number of observed qualities of student's personality the diagnostic technique level of formation of students learning motivation was selected. The resulting figures revealed a positive trend from the use of case technology in the classroom with students.

1/2 Photos of Boeuf Bourguignon (Beef Burgundy)
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
30 mins

Boeuf Bourguignon is a great classic French dish known for its deep rich sauce. Beef is braised and stewed for 5 hours (or longer) in young, full-bodied, dry red wine and beef stock. It is generally flavoured with garlic, onions and herbs tied in a bouquet and seasoned well with salt and pepper. Carefully done and perfectly flavoured, for me, it is certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes created by man.

George Will: When times in DC were really grim
"Saving Justice: Watergate, the Saturday Night Massacre, and Other Adventures of a Solicitor General," Bork's recounting of events of 40 years ago, is an antidote to today's tendency to think that things in Washington have never been worse. Bork became Nixon's solicitor general in June 1973, 12 months after the Watergate burglary. Then Bork, fresh from Yale Law School's faculty, met Nixon: "Apparently unsure if he was really dealing with a conservative Ivy League professor, he assured me his conservatism was something of a pose to keep others from moving too far left." Conservatives knew this.
In the summer of 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew asked to see Bork, but "really had nothing of substance to say." Bork would soon learn why Agnew wanted to establish a relationship. A few weeks later, Nixon's chief of staff, Al Haig, asked Bork to become Nixon's chief defense counsel concerning Watergate matters, and told Bork that Agnew was under criminal investigation for accepting bribes while governor of Maryland, payments that continued while he was vice president.
While pondering Haig's offer, Bork sought the advice of a Yale colleague, with whom he spoke on a "dark, semi-rural road" in suburban Virginia: "It's an indication of the paranoia of the time that I really wanted to be someplace where it was impossible to be overheard." By September, Bork and a few others knew the nation faced a novel possibility - a double impeachment, which could elevate to the presidency the speaker of the House, Oklahoma's Carl Albert, who the year before may have been intoxicated when he drove his car into some other cars outside Washington's Zebra Room saloon.
Agnew, says Bork, was "never one to miss out on making a little extra cash," so he said that if he was forced out of the vice presidency "he hoped to remain in the administration a few more months to ensure his pension would vest." When Bork and Attorney General Elliot Richardson were being taken into the Oval Office to explain to Nixon why Agnew should be indicted, Richardson got Bork into a White House restroom to talk. He turned on the faucets "in the expectation that the noise of running water would make our conversation inaudible if anybody was eavesdropping electronically."
Claiming "vice presidential immunity," Agnew said he could not be indicted until he had been impeached and removed from office. Bork and others rejected this because the vice presidency is not sufficiently central to governance. Yet in those fevered days, a Justice Department memo suggested that even a President could be indicted before impeachment because with the aid of modern technology he could run the executive branch from jail. But, the memo said measuredly, this "might be beneath the dignity of the office."
On an October Saturday, when Nixon ordered Richardson to fire Archibald Cox, the Watergate special prosecutor, Richardson and his deputy resigned, urging Bork to execute Nixon's lawful order, which he did. By the two resignations, he became acting attorney general, in which capacity he protected the ongoing investigation of Nixon.
At work the Sunday morning after the "Saturday Night Massacre," his first official act as attorney general was to sign lease renewal forms for an oil field in Natrona County, Wyo., that became famous during President Warren Harding's unsavory administration. The field's name - Teapot Dome - was shorthand for political corruption, until displaced by Watergate.
Watergate now seems as distant as the Punic Wars. Nixon, born 100 years ago in January, is remembered for large diplomatic as well as criminal deeds. Agnew is deservedly forgotten. Bork deserves to be remembered by a grateful nation for the services he rendered in preventing disarray in the Justice Department at a moment of unprecedented assault on the rule of law, and for facilitating the removal of a President during Washington days that were darker than most people today can imagine. His book confirms the axiom that our ignorance of history makes us libel our own times.

By Charles Krauthammer, Investor's Business Daily
They lose and immediately the chorus begins. Republicans must change or die. A rump party of white America, it must adapt to evolving demographics or forever be the minority.
The only part of this that is even partially true regards Hispanics. They should be a natural Republican constituency: striving immigrant community, religious, Catholic, family-oriented and socially conservative (on abortion, for example).
The principal reason they go Democratic is the issue of illegal immigrants. In securing the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney made the strategic error of (unnecessarily) going to the right of Rick Perry. Romney could never successfully tack back.
For the party in general, however, the problem is hardly structural. It requires but a single policy change: Border fence plus amnesty. Yes, amnesty. Use the word. Shock and awe — full legal normalization (just short of citizenship) in return for full border enforcement.
I've always been of the "enforcement first" school, with the subsequent promise of legalization. I still think it's the better policy. But many Hispanics fear that there will be nothing beyond enforcement. So, promise amnesty right upfront. Secure the border with guaranteed legalization to follow on the day the four border-state governors affirm that illegal immigration has slowed to a trickle.
Imagine Marco Rubio advancing such a policy on the road to 2016. It would transform the landscape. He'd win the Hispanic vote. Yes, win it. A problem fixable with a single policy initiative is not structural. It is solvable.
The other part of the current lament is that the Republican Party consistently trails among blacks, young people and (unmarried) women. (Republicans are plus-7 among married women.) But this is not for reasons of culture, identity or even affinity. It is because these constituencies tend to be more politically liberal — and Republicans are the conservative party.
The country doesn't need two liberal parties. Yes, Republicans need to weed out candidates who talk like morons about rape. But this doesn't mean the country needs two pro-choice parties either. In fact, more women are pro-life than are pro-choice. The problem here for Republicans is not policy but delicacy — speaking about culturally sensitive and philosophically complex issues with reflection and prudence.
Additionally, warn the doomsayers, Republicans must change not just ethnically, but also ideologically. Back to the center. Moderation above all!
More nonsense. Tuesday's exit polls showed that by an eight-point margin (51-43), Americans believe that government does too much. And Republicans are the party of smaller government. Moreover, onrushing economic exigencies — crushing debt, unsustainable entitlements — will make the argument for smaller government increasingly unassailable.
Asserting a legal and constitutional authority he himself said he did not have, President Obama has gone rogue, issuing an executive amnesty for 4-5 million illegal aliens. He ordered the U.S. government not to enforce the law against these 4-5 million, and declared that they are to be exempt from ...
