National Security Blog (which I linked to from the start) is now Blogs of War, and far better than before.
If you think this is a wartime fluke, a national moment of prayer fueled by fear of terrorism and Iraq, consider the words of the Rev. Edgar Vann, a Kerry supporter whose 5,000-member congregation in the heart of Detroit supported Bush's moral ideals, but not him.
The question waiting to be answered is whether it will continue to serve the nation, or whether the American left will finally be able to unleash its own version of Kristallnacht.

The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) says members of the House and Senate are not doing the best they can with your money — and the group says it has proof after studying the spending habits of Congress for years.
Congressmen and senators are not doing enough to keep your taxes low, National Taxpayers Union charges.
NTU spokesman Pete Sepp called his group's efforts the most accurate and unbiased depiction of the congressional voting record, and added that there was a bright light in 2003 with Congress passing President Bush's tax-cut package.

 Doublespeak - Disinfopedia
However, using the term interchangeably with citizen - the military is there to protect the taxpayers - implies that the primary role of a citizen is to pay taxes, or more generally, that the social contract (again, a term with a particular bias) between citizen and state is primarily economic.
The word taxpayer means someone who pays taxes, and when used in a discussion of government revenues is not doublespeak.

 Thomas Sowell: Digital disgust
So much of our national political debate these days revolves around economic matters -- taxes, health care, even affirmative action and immigration policy -- that it is essential for every informed American to have a working knowledge of economics.
George Eastman changed all that -- and made a fortune -- when he began producing Kodak cameras for people who were not photographers but who just wanted to take simple pictures of people and places.
Now the renowned conservative economist Thomas Sowell has made it possible for you to grasp quickly and easily the economic elements of key public policies -- even if economics has always seemed dry and forbidding in the past.

"There's always the question of what happens if the government is wrong," said Pete Sepp, spokesman for the Washington-based tax watchdog group National Taxpayers Union.
A growing number of states are hoping to humiliate delinquent taxpayers by putting their names online.
Used in at least 13 states, with zingy names like CyberShame and DelinqNet, the Web sites are giving state tax collectors a surprisingly useful tool in gathering old taxes.

According to the NTU: “Scores are determined by a detailed and objective analysis of every vote that affects taxes, spending, debt, and regulatory burdens imposed on taxpayers.” The 300,000-member-strong NTU prides itself on the thoroughness and nonpartisan nature of its ratings.
This award marks the second time within the past month and a half that a national fiscal watchdog group has publicly recognized Congressman RyanÂ’s record of fiscal responsibility.
The NTU bestowed this award on Ryan and other Members of Congress who received an “A” grade on its annual rating, which is based on a comprehensive measure of Congress’s activities.

 Save our universities: free education not deregulation
The National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) has also claimed that all but $69 million of the promised funds will not be available until after the next election — due by the end of 2004.
The neoliberal objection to socialising the cost of higher education is based on the argument that because those with higher education qualifications will generally get higher paying jobs, taxpayers who do not attend universities should not have to subsidise those who do.
After the Whitlam Labor government introduced the Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme in 1974, which meant the practical abolition of tuition fees, there were improvements in the number of women, mature age students, people from working-class backgrounds, students with English as a second language, and other under-represented groups” participating in higher education, both universities and colleges.

 Group cites union-led violence
Though the National Taxpayers Union was founded as an anti-tax group, it began to focus more on labor unions when it realized organized labor was opposing tax cuts in California, Oklahoma, Washington and other states, spokesman Peter Sepp said.
The National Taxpayers Union launched a $1 million radio, television and newspaper advertising blitz last month that features these acts of union violence.
But the National Taxpayers Union and National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation officials say they are not a cover for a movement to bust unions.

 The National Education Association
As the nation's largest, most powerful union, capable of electing presidents and influencing politics at every level, many feel that it is out of control and often acts contrary to the conservative views of many of its members and the taxpayers who ultimately pay for its existence.
The uniqueness of the National Education Association is found in the fact that it is a near monopoly supplier of teachers to a government enforced monopoly consumer, the public schools.
In the 1960s the NEA, which was founded in 1857 as a professional association, was transformed into a labor union.
