What should be the top Repubilcan priority if they take back Congress?

My two cents on President Obama's Iraq Speech:

I've read a few commentaries from other conservatives on the President's speech yesterday and a common theme seems to be that he seemed either bored or tired or lacking in his usual oratorical magic and gusto or something to that effect.

Legalization and Justification

The former president of the Royal College of Physicians in England believes that drugs should be legalized and regulated by the state:
"Professor Sir Ian Gilmore said making drugs such as heroin and cocaine legal would “drastically” cut crime and addicts’ health problems. State-regulated use of drugs would also save money and avert the need to try to stop drug production in countries such as Afghanistan, he said…Sir Ian also said he was persuaded by a recent article in the British Medical Journal, which argued that the prohibition of drugs had been “counterproductive”, made many public health problems worse, and stimulated organised crime and terrorism. Sir Ian said that banning drugs had harmed society. “There’s a lot of evidence that the total prohibition of drugs, making them totally illicit and unavailable, has not been successful at reducing not only the health burden, but also the impact on crime,” he said.”

I’m not yet convinced either way regarding the idea drug legalization. However, I think the argument put forth here is flawed:

I was lucky enough today to find a "Green" section on a liberal blog that I frequent from time-to-time. It allowed me to make a connection about morality and politics and further more about the religion of the left. Every religious movement needs a church and for the naturalism, contained in the propaganda of several articles I read I came to see that Eco-Community Ethics is the only clear and knowable morality for many people today.


Arizona’s recent immigration law has made the state both a beacon of states’ rights or a cesspool of racism, depending on your perspective. This has been the theme of many conversations and I think both sides have failed: Progressives have lost the ideological principals necessary for believing in a strong national border and immigration standards and conservatives have failed to clearly defend those principles as moral. 


I was very surprised at the ignorance of the President when it came to the sensitivities of those who died on 9/11 when talking about the rights of Muslims and building a Mosque at Ground Zero. There was also the normal liberal misunderstanding of tolerance, America, our Founders intentions, and role of religious freedom and diversity in America. The point of building the Mosque at Ground Zero was to bridge a gap between the billions of Muslims in the world and those who misunderstand Islam. Islam being a religion of peace has decided to ignore the wishes of the 9/11 victim’s families and to push forward anyway, because of course, this is America, we are free to do so, and Islam is just trying to promote peace.


I stumbled across a post that was talking about a recent news report regarding the United Farm Workers and an initiative called "Take Our Jobs":

"The UFW wants to expose at least one false argument that is used against undocumented workers. That argument is that the undocumented aliens are taking jobs away from citizens and legal residents of the United States."
