Nick Diaz - On www.thetentacle.com this morning: Different Hispanics, Different Heritage – Part One

Different Hispanics, Different Heritage – Part One
Nick Diaz
I have purposely waited until the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, 2011, to get down to writing this piece. Since I’m Cuban by birth, I have some observations about Hispanics in general and about Cuban exiles in particular.

Many natural-born Americans think of “Hispanics” as one group, one minority group, one disadvantaged minority group, one left-leaning group. In other words, we’re all alike. Not so.

I’m Cuban by birth and American by adopted citizenship. I’m an American who was born and raised in Cuba, of Cuban parents. I’m here because my parents and I migrated here in the early 1960s – seeking freedom.

Miami, Florida, is where my family and I first ended up; many of us “learned to die in Miami”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmplymVatPs&feature=related

Washington Examiner Opinion: A reminder that it can always be morning in America

Washington Examiner Opinion Email Digest

A reminder that it can always be morning in America
It has become conventional wisdom that President Reagan "restored America's confidence," an achievement that became forever encapsulated in political lore by the famous "It's morning again in America" television commercial that preceded his landslide re-election in 1984. But the reality is that Reagan didn't restore something that had been lost, he simply reminded Washington that it had been there all the time. Americans never lost faith in themselves or their capacity to shape better futures for themselves and their children. It was professional politicians inside the Beltway and fuzzy-minded thinkers at places like Harvard and the New York Times who lost sight of the country's boundless possibilities.

Williams plan to avert Social Security disaster

Politicians who are principled enough to point out the fraud of Social Security, referring to it as a lie and Ponzi scheme, are under siege. Acknowledgment of Social Security's problems is not the same as calling for the abandonment of its recipients. Instead, it's a call to take actions now, while there's time to avert a disaster. Let's look at it.

Republicans should avoid falling into the messiah complex

Listening to some establishment Republicans grousing about the field of GOP presidential candidates should serve as a warning. Republicans, if they are not careful, are in danger of catching the same virus that infected Democrats in 2008.

Examiner Local Editorial: Liberal nannies should leave Catholic University alone

A legally frivolous but potentially dangerous lawsuit filed against Catholic University by a crosstown rival has become a national cause celebre for liberal activists who want to shove their notions of college life down the private religious school's throat. At issue is CUA President John Garvey's decision to reinstate same-sex dorms to discourage underage drinking and casual sex among the incoming freshman class, something he has every legal and moral right to do.

Corpulent Christie may be the guy to slim down America

Moments after tramping out of my building's swaying stairwell and into the street during August's D.C. earthquake, I checked my phone's Twitter app and got my first good postquake laugh. Salon's Alex Pareene cracked: "I think Chris Christie just jumped into the race."

GOP primary chaos could produce another Ike-Taft convention showdown

By: Donald Devine
Well, Florida has done it – and it will explode the whole 2012 election process, as this space has predicted for months. Gov. Rick Scott and his legislative leaders’ special panel has declared that Florida’s presidential primary will be held January 31, 2011, more than a month ahead of schedule and well before the March 6 date that Republican rules set as the earliest date to hold a primary without losing half of their delegate power at the national GOP convention.

Speaker of the House John Boehner: White House to Taxpayers: Sorry About All This, But We Need You to Send Us More Money

White House to Taxpayers: Sorry About All This, But We Need You to Send Us More Money
Posted by Michael Ricci on September 29, 2011  http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=262327
Bank of America today announced it will soon charge customers a monthly fee for using a debit card to make household purchases, a move geared towards preparing for “new federal rules” in the Dodd-Frank bill.  This is another example of how the job-crushing policies coming out of Washington are taking money from the pockets of cash-strapped families and small businesses.  Here are two others:
  • Higher Health Care Premiums.  According to newly released national survey, health care premiums in the workplace have jumped by a “whopping” 9 percent in the year following enactment of President Obama’s government takeover of health care.  For the typical family, this amounts to an increase of more than $1,200.  This is a far cry from the $2,500 decrease in premiums the president promised his plan would bring – a $3,700 swing, to be exact. 
  • Higher Gas Prices.  Average gas prices have risen by nearly 93 percent since the president took office, according to AAA data.  Unfortunately, Washington has consistently blocked American energy production that would lower costs and create jobs.  As gas prices rise, so does the cost of everyday life.  Higher fuel prices force food suppliers to charge restaurants and grocery stores more, costs that are inevitably passed on to customers.   Small businesses are also hit hard.  “The price of gas was putting me out of business,” the owner of a Kansas transportation company said recently.
Higher costs from regulations is also a major concern right now, as evidenced by the Bank of America story.  The Obama Administration currently has4,257 rules and regulations in the works, of which at least 219 will have an economic impact of $100 million or more – an increase of nearly 15 percent over last year.  There are, of course, good regulations that protect our kids and our environment, but there are also excessive regulations that increase costs for consumers and small businesses.  It’s these unnecessary regulations that hurt job creation and lead to higher prices for American families.  In Speaker Boehner’s home state of Ohio, there are roughly 845 regulations in the pipeline that would affect small businesses – an 11.5 percent jump since 2009.  Federal mandates are “forcing many area school districts to raise hot lunch prices” in Michigan, a state suffering from 10.9 percent unemployment.  Similar examples abound. 

Americans are paying more for health care, more for gas, more for food, and more to stay in business – largely on account of the Obama Administration – and now it wants taxpayers to send more of their hard-earned money to Washington.  “The economy is stalled, and it’s been stalled, and it’s not because the American people have lost their way,” Speaker Boehner said recently. “It’s because their government has let them down.”  Making job-crushing tax hikes the centerpiece of a jobs plan further proves this point.  

There’s a better way, and it starts with responsible, long-term solutions to address cost-of-living concerns and remove government barriers to job creation.  This is the focus of Republicans’ Plan for America’s Job Creators, the dozen or so jobs bills the House has passed, and areas of common ground that House GOP leaders have identified.  Learn more at jobs.gop.gov.

Washington Examiner Opinion: 'Durbin fees' are coming, thanks to progressives



Washington Examiner Opinion Email Digest

If we had a "Dim Bulb of the Year" award, we would give it to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. How better to honor someone who so ostentatiously proposes a policy with obvious unintended consequences, then gets angry when they predictably come to pass?

Western leaders have history of blinders on duplicitous regimes

Robert Conquest, pre-eminent historian of the genocides, purges and terrors of the Soviet Union, has long contemplated the blinders the West wears when looking at -- or, rather not looking at -- the millions of dead bodies the gigantically Evil Empire was responsible for.

Sunday Reflection: Changing the Constitution

By: Glenn Reynolds
Last weekend I participated in an unusual event -- a conference on the prospects for a federal constitutional convention at Harvard Law School, co-sponsored with the Tea Party Patriots and Fix Congress First. (See the agenda at www.conconcon.org). A wide variety of participants from both the left and the right mixed with surprising comfort and cordiality, and found numerous points of agreement.

One president, two days and seven fundraisers

All last week, President Obama continued a cross-country tour to promote his jobs bill. But as the quarterly deadline for fundraising approached, he also found plenty of time to woo the West Coast's rich and famous in search of their campaign dollars. In fact, Obama attended seven fundraisers in the space of two days -- a crash-course cash crawl that may have grossed his campaign up to $10 million.

Living amid Hollywood hypocrisy

By: Janine Turner
I had to listen to it for years on sets, at dinners, in rehearsals, in the make-up chair, and at award ceremonies. The judgmental, hot, mostly uninformed rants of Hollywood liberals breathed down my neck and sucked all the air from the room. Usually, the rants were so hostile that I was afraid to speak up, or so ridiculous that I thought it futile to reply.
