		<description>&lt;p&gt;Most small business people are solidly Republican. It is almost impossible for an average person in Europe to start a small business, due to punitive taxation and regulation. If Democrats had their way, they would construct the same system. Americans have a higher percentage of people who own their own businesses than any place in the world. Higher taxes and regulations would decrease, not increase, that number.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I guess some people never forget their heroes…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hamdan shows why we needed to rollback corp and securities based prosecutions.  We need those lawyers free to write more memos allowing more kidnap and torture.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think these days they get t-shirts instead of medals. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My memo got 40 Afghani non-combatants bought like slaves and tortured for years and all I got was this lousey t-shirt.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>
