Shouldn’t we punish those who’ve dared to succeed?
How dare some Arizona citizens start at the bottom, get an education, work their way up the ladder and become successful.
Never mind how much these people already pay in state and federal taxes, they need to pay more, pay their fair share. And we’re not going to tell them what their fair share is.
Here in Arizona shouldn’t we punish those who dare to succeed? We don’t care how much you paid in student loans, how many kids you have, none of that. If you make more than we think you should have, we’re coming for it.
We’ve come to expect this kind claptrap from the likes of op-ed writers, Roberts, Montini, et al, but citizens should see right through it. Tell #InvestInEd and their socialist spokesman to take a hike.
From each according to his ability to each according to their need. Right out of Karl Marx. That doesn’t fly here in Arizona of
We should pretend the ugly parts of our history never happened
I don’t always see eye to eye with Phil Boas, but his recent column about Laura Ingalls Wilder is spot on.
It seems the American Library Association has elected to strip Laura Ingalls Wilder of its children’s literature award because of her disparaging comments about Native Americans in the “Little House on the Prairie” series, written between 1932 and 1943 when it was still a widely-held belief that non-white races were inferior and should be limited.
Her words were true to those times and, though distasteful to us now, we should learn from them, not apologize for them.
It is unfortunate that so few Americans today are even aware of the widespread eugenics movement begun in 1910 that led to anti-immigration laws and the mass sterilization of thousands of “inferiors.”
Yes, so much of our history is glorious, but some is also ugly and unpleasant, and to try to pretend or teach our children otherwise is to devalue their education. As the saying goes, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.”
Have we begun to repeat it?
Trump gets to pick one of the judges who will preside at his trial
In one swoop, Mr. Trump has revolutionized America’s entire criminal justice system.
Where, previously, the defendant’s counsel played a role in jury selection, now, following Mr. Trump’s precedentsetting choice for the Supreme Court,

Kavanaugh is a GOP-appointed justice who will vote against Roe
As a woman, a mother of four and grandmother of 11 granddaughters, I firmly believe in a woman’s right to choose and her ability to freely make decisions about her own body.
The nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court justice, who as a conservative will attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade or at least place restrictions upon women who are pro choice, will be devastating to millions of women.
This vote should come to the floor AFTER the midterm elections, just as McConnell suggested with regard to Merrick Garland in 2016. I ask Senator Flake to carefully consider his vote for Kavanaugh and have the courage to vote no on his confirmation.
OK, Benson critics, admit it: You loved his cartoon on the Thai kids
For all the Benson haters, this picture was one of the best ever that he has done. The whole world was watching. Reminded me of baby Jessica years ago trapped in that well pipe.
