One of the best cases for conservatism being the way to save America's future. Via Townhall.com:
The United States is at a fork in the road regarding which way we will go as a people. The 2012 election could be the most important in our lifetime, and conservative leaders have reached a consensus on how to channel the energy and concerns of the American people to realize historic change this year.
In the next few days, President Obamas Environmental Protection Agency is expected to issue another final regulation directed at electricity utilities. This rule, known as the Utility MACT, will impose an estimated $11 billion each year in new costs on our economy. It will threaten electricity-generating capacity in many parts of the country. And its just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this administrations runaway rulemaking.

Congress should ready market-based replacement for Obamacare
As one of a number of attorneys general challenging the federal health care law, I am cautiously optimistic that the Supreme Court will strike down the law and its requirement that every citizen buy government-approved health insurance. Congress clearly has the power to regulate commerce, but using that power to force individuals into commerce goes too far. If the federal government crosses that line, it will have unlimited power to order citizens to buy virtually anything in the name of the public good. That is why I have said that Virginias lawsuit against the federal health care law is about liberty, not health care.
Ahhh... the good old days of the incandescent lightbulb. Here's to you bright light.
