Marion Barber's Resignation Will Affect The Strength of The Negotiations ... But For Whose Benefit?

Marion Barber's Resignation Will Affect The Strength of The Negotiations ... But For Whose Benefit?: The day after the Bears signed a four-year contract, Michael Bush and Matt Forte went on to rant later that Twitter may not have had anything to do with the signing of Bush (depending on if you think his tweet tracking), Marion Barber, the last back-Forte Copy of the season, announced his retirement from the NFL. Despite the presence of Barber in the list would have been competition for the backup position itself in the list would be on the surface of the negotiating strengths in his favor. Without a barber in the list, if all were, as now, the bears will go to camp with the leading trio of Bush, Kahlil Bell and Armando Allen, management did not want something to bear.

But there is another factor to consider here - Barber retired after only his seventh season in the NFL.

                                                             

Now I know that Barber and Forte is not the same player - short back, who has never been a thousand-yard season or broken door 250 or 300 keys, combined in a single season. And the other has just finished his fourth year of disabled list, two thousand yards in a season (74 yards, and the combination of the four) and 1237 combined key.

But Barber's resignation should send a strong signal if he wants long-term agreement, Barber only in the league three years longer (until, of course, he signed out of retirement), and serves to enhance the short shelf life of running backs in the NFL.

Let us consider another factor. Barber began to pick up most of the doors in 2007, when he went to the Pro Bowl with 975 yards and 10 touchdown, a year after a 14-TD campaign. It was his third season - he was a starter until 2010, and fell quite sharply, resulting in only 3.51 meters in hand in the last two seasons. With the clearly better performance than this, but it took a lot of grinding and a lot of hits in his career - almost as much as a hairdresser in his career. And it's not as physical a runner as Barber. How many more visits it will take?

Barber did not have to be the most offense, Forte has been so throughout his career, either. Are there any additional finishing touches strongly influenced the duration of his future career?

So my question to you: Who is in favor of a retired Barber - Strong and his influence to bear "items in the list, or a bear, and the term of the contract and the amount they have to offer?

Obama: Trayvon Martin's Death a Tragedy, Which Should be Fully Investigated

Obama: Trayvon Martin's Death a Tragedy, Which Should be Fully Investigated: Barack Obama made his first public comments on the murder of Martin Trayvon, stating that the death of a teenager in Florida was a "tragedy" that must be investigated.

In a personal message delivered from the White House, U.S. President Martin Trayvon compared to her own children, and said: "If I had a son, she would look Trayvon".

Obama has promised that the authorities consider "all aspects" about the shooting of an unarmed 17-year neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, and called on federal, state and local governments to work together in the investigation.

Martin was killed Feb. 26 the circumstances that have not yet been fully explained. Although Zimmerman admits that he killed a teenager, he said in self-defense, referring to the controversial Florida's "stand on his" law, which allows the use of lethal force in certain circumstances. Zimmerman was arrested, sparking a growing anger that has spread beyond Florida.

Obama was due to interference with journalists' questions at the White House announcement on its candidate to head the World Bank.

"Obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through," he said in the White House Rose Garden.

"When I think about that boy, I think that my own children, and I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely necessary that we examine all aspects of this issue."

Obama said that all of America was a little "soul searching" to do during the incident, adding: "If I had a son, she would look Trayvon, and I think they [his parents] expect that all of us, that Americans are going to take him seriously, he deserves. "

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and then joined the President, calling for "a thorough investigation." He added that a full investigation was needed to "justice is carried out with impartiality and integrity."

At the same time, Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera has caused outrage on Friday when he said that Martin was selected for attention because he was wearing a hoodie.

Appeal to parents of young black and Hispanic children to prevent their escape into the streets hoodies, Rivera said: "I think the hoodie is as responsible for the death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was."

This statement was immediately online games, as critics of Twitter to express his anger. Rivera later tweeted that his son had sent him a message to say that he is ashamed of his position.

The focus on young blacks and Latinos on the Rivera also reinforced the view by some that the incident may have been a racial element.

Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee resigned temporarily on Thursday. This statement was followed by news that the Attorney Norman Wolfinger, Florida also rejected criticism of its treatment of the following case. But no movement emerged to appease the growing demands Zimmerman appease discontent or be arrested.

On Thursday evening, a rally was held in Sanford, the city where Martin was shot dead while returning home from a friend of his father after a trip to the store.

In the case of 17-years old her parents, Martin and Tracy Sybrina Fulton, joined by civil rights leaders, including Reverend Al Sharpton in the

Sharpton told the crowd: "We can not allow a precedent where people can just kill one of us, and then go with the murder weapon we want, George Zimmerman in court with handcuffs behind his back.".

Mickael Pietrus Injury

Mickael Pietrus Injury: Celtics [team stats] came into the game last night, attention to the fact that the first place in the Atlantic Division was on the line. They pointed out that there is something much more important at stake

Mickael Pietrus was taken from the arena on a stretcher after the defeat of the court with 5:08 left in the second quarter of 99-86 loss to the 76ers. He was taken to hospital with a so-called "closed head injury."

"He was already an X-ray (s) CT (computed tomography). This is an MRI right now," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after a few minutes after the game. "That's all we know. They'll take all night, but that's all I can give you right now."

The team later said Pietrus was not hospitalized, but did not stay overnight in Philadelphia. It will be a reassessment today.

Pietrus was pulled back Lou Williams as he created a high drive into the lane. I do not think that hit his head on the ground, but there was a serious jolt and immediately reached for this part of his body. He remained on the ground for several minutes as doctors attended to him. Pietrus, who started in place of guard Ray Allen (right ankle), was immobilized on a stretcher before placing.

Kevin Garnett, standing beside the medical team, raised his hands and began to fight like Pietrus has been established. The crowd looked at him and followed his example.

Williams came to the Celts, and then, on the rivers, he said: "Tell Pete good luck. I did not want."

Rivers added, "It was not a deliberate game. I mean, it happens in sport.

"It looked awful. I saw it right away. I do not think he hit his head, but I was not sure. I just saw her on the neck tie, and if you knew it was bad. And it is obvious that he dropped to the floor if it is not very good. I mean, wow, that was hard. I think that it was difficult for us to see everything. "

Said Paul Pierce [Statistics]: "He fell hard. I do not know the extent of its damage, and I hope that it will be good.

"It's always difficult when you see your brother, NBA player -. Regardless of who it is when you catch someone lying on the floor and not move, and you dare to land on a stretcher, it is difficult.

"These are things that can be career ending thing. We just hope that he can make a speedy recovery."

The Celts were at 10, and they were ahead by two years, when Ryan Hollins beginners (choose Pietrus "Sixers free throws) from 1-to-2. They were able to build on their lead from this point, bringing it to 49 -43 at halftime.

But they were soon buried under a preponderance of the state of the poor.

C end of the year even took the court in the second half, Avery Bradley was trying to run down the hallway outside the locker room. Then he turned to the trainer Ed Lacerte and shook his head. Bradley was removed from the rest of the night with the stretching of the left ankle. He left the game in the final minute of the half down badly in the end it is a rebound. (Bradley later said that he hopes to play tomorrow against Washington).

"You have Ray sitting in the locker room, that Avery will not be affected immediately after the" Rivers said. "It was just a hell of a year."

arquis Daniels started the second half and scored on the wet and rotational motion so that the Celts' lead down. His bucket put them back in the future, 64-63, with 5:02 remaining in the third.

Celtics [team stats] did not really hear.

They scored just two points the rest of the quarter - a jumper from the left Pierce 1:39. Otherwise, they have missed five shots and turned the ball four times. This paved the way to Philadelphia to run the 17.2 80-66 entering the fourth.

Things remained in this area that Celtics emptied their benches - as needed.

"We had just settled," said Rivers. "I thought the type of injury, fatigue and all that caught up with us, but I just thought we settled down a bit, took all the jump shots. For me it is a sign that the team is a little tired. We'd like to give a little bit."

However, Pierce was not to his team off the hook, saying: "We took a step back Is it any way we should not lose this way - the game division rival for us to accept. Atlantic (Front) of lead. It was a huge game for us, and we took a step back today. "

This, of course, was a secondary issue in the grand scheme of things the Celts left the stage and headed to the airport hoping to learn more about Pietrus.

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford

Trayvon Martin case: a Vote of no Confidence in Police Chief Sanford: In the tense meeting on Wednesday that underscored growing tensions on the set of Dea

h an unarmed black teenager, local officials in Sanford, Florida, passed a vote of no confidence in the police chief as protests spread to the north of New York, where the parents took the young man was killed in March in Manhattan require arrest the murderer.

Measurement of no confidence has increased from 3 to 2, after more than an hour discussion, and if it is not necessary, as a result of the public and the groans and applause punctuated the debate highlighted by exciting the wrath of Orlando suburb for about a month after a 17 - year Trayvon Martin died on 26 February. Much of this anger is directed at the fact that the killer has confessed, 28 years old, George Zimmerman, who was described as Latino, and white, was not arrested.

Dozens of residents gathered in Sanford Sanford City Hall, where the City Commission, Mark McCarthy set the tone for the meeting, acknowledging that he called for the overthrow of the Chief of Police Bill Lee 10 days ago at a meeting with the head of the city, Norton N. Bonaparte Jr.

"I take no pleasure from the public flogging of our police chief. This is a good man," said McCarthy.

But McCarthy said the issues surrounding the case, and negative publicity thrown on the town after the murder, were largely the result of improper handling of the investigation. Questions, he said, include whether the police were too quick to accept the claim that Zimmerman fired in self-defense, despite the fact that Martin was not armed and that witnesses described hearing someone calling for help before the shot was heard .

A lawyer representing the family, Martin, Benjamin Crump, said the teenager was on a cell phone with his girlfriend and was concerned, he was followed by a strange man in the last seconds before it is slaughtered. And the two women who live near shooting scene said that Martin was lying face down, with Zimmerman hanging over him after he was shot.

"If it was self-defense, why does he [Zimmerman] on the back Trayvon?" One witness, Mary Cutcher, told CNN, in an interview.

City commissioners Patty Mahany and Randy Jones opposed the motion of censure, saying the city should await the outcome of the grand jury investigation is scheduled for April 10, and the Department of Justice investigations. "It's fast decision in a situation which will not," said Mahany, a call vote of no confidence in the "reflex".

Only the city administration, Bonaparte, Lee can be done, or to demand his resignation, and he gave no indication he was considering it. But as speaker after speaker, black and white, took the microphone to ask why Zimmerman was not arrested, it became clear that Napoleon faced with pressure showed no signs of abating.

The Reverend Al Sharpton is connected to a rally in Sanford on Thursday, and the city planned for hundreds or even thousands of people at a special meeting Monday night to focus on the case.

Union Square in Manhattan, hundreds of people marched in memory of teen killed in the alleged March Hoodie million on Wednesday, including the parents of Martin. Martin was wearing a hoodie, when he was killed while walking to a shop, where he bought some sweets and drinks.

"We will not stop until we get justice," said the father of a teenager, Tracy Martin, thanking the crowd in New York, who chanted "We want to arrest," according to The Associated Press.

"My son did not deserve to die," the mother of a teenager, Sybrina Fulton, told the crowd, reports AP. «My heart is in pain, but also to see the support from everyone who is actually a difference."

More than a dozen people spoke at the meeting of Sanford, the vast majority of black residents complain that the Police Department was quick to stop the black, leaving gaps for the accused of similar crimes in the wild. Several speakers reported arbitrary arrests and harassment by the police.

"I was born and raised in Sanford, and I have had this problem many times," said Robin Riggins, a black woman.

The resident, however, ruled in favor of Lee, saying that the case should be allowed to "go his own way."

"There are two sides to every story," said a resident, a white man who said he lived in Sanford for decades. "We can not rush to judgment and CEO Lee will be responsible for any What happens if we find in the investigation, he did his job."

He noted that Lee was on the job only 10 months.

Previous leader was forced to resign after a protest at the beating of black man in downtown Sanford white man, who is the son of a policeman. The police did not arrest a person, even if the beating was captured on video.

'American Idol' recap: Participants Will Take Billy Joel

'American Idol' recap: Participants Will Take Billy Joel: "If you can not sing, Billy Joel, you can not sing at all."

Thus, Steven Tyler announced on Wednesday evening, before 10 competitors in the book of songs praised the man at the piano in "American Idol".

And what about those crazy kids with their metamorphosis Tommy Hilfiger, do they have? Well, personally I am for the abolition of theme parties in general. They are really very tired. But I have to step aside and allow our readers a six-person panel of judges to weigh in. Here are their comments:

Vaishnavi Kashyap, Sunnyvale - Billy Joel? Who is it? I heard him once or twice, but my iPod does not recognize the name. Now, Diddy, on the other hand, I know.

DeAndre Brackensick: I love the fact that the designers have done with it. But singing was not great, man. He was never a favorite, but I probably should have a soft spot for him because he is my Homie San Jose.

Erica Van Pelt: He was much better. It is not surprising, but it remains for another week. Of course, I never expected such a radical metamorphosis. I must admit, her hair was very sick, though.

Skylar Laine: I'm surprised when I started to slam her. And it was not my usual sarcastic applause without enthusiasm, too. For such a shrill, nasal voice, she shook her songs. And I loved her new look, too.

Elise Testone: not the usual favorite, but I must confess that I am completely "confuzzled", if it joins the bottom three for the third consecutive time.

Philip Phillips: So, Phil updated their style quotient

slightly. But overall, it has been ignored advice from Tommy Hilfiger. I mean, who does? This is Tommy Hilfiger! On the other hand, who cares? It was a big, growling, hot performance.

Holly Cavanagh: That was not his best, but it is one of the candidates, regardless of how "sticky" it was.

Thus, DeAndre and Heejun occupy two of the three main points. Not so sure about the latter.

CHRISTINA WISE, Boulder Creek - I am looking forward to Billy Joel ... Participants then began to sing. Lawdy. Those two hours seemed to last looongest time.

You may be right:

Ledet Jesus, the first performer of the night actually do it. Sentimentality and the passion he puts into each song is extremely intoxicating. I've never been arrested for stalking, but there is a first time for everything.

Elise: finally found a song that has found its place in a quiet voice. "Vienna" has done what no other song has done for her - he took out his personality. How refreshing.

Philip Phillips: Positively loved holiday "Movin 'Out". Detailing his voice was so well suited to the song, the noise in the horror, and I would have fought for this atlas a scarf too. Wow!

Do not ask me why:

DeAndre: Sorry to hear that "Only the Good Die Young" is spent on her singing half steps. This song deserves to sing with a great sound of the trumpet, and this guy just is not them.

Erica Van Pelt: a large part of her work was her hair. If the "New York State of Mind" is an anthem, it was not my home to the state. Too loud, too quiet. I bet he got his share in the Bronx cheers from the East Coast.

Heejun: His version of "My Life" was a bad karaoke, and proof that this guy can ruin any song. Steven Tyler's expression at the end of the song was the same expression as the captain of the Titanic had sunk the ship - just a quiet horror of having contributed to the catastrophe of epic proportions.

Big Shot:

Jessica Sanchez: "Everyone has a dream," and if it should be our next American Idol, this girl is well on its way It's in the top three, baby.!

Ben Wentling, Concord - this week, there were only two outstanding performances. Jessica begins to show that man has won this year. But Eliza reigns supreme. What vocal range! I am so happy to see improvement.

I do not know what all of Philip, but I think it's a great talent and I hope he sticks around. Skyler and Holly continues to impress me with Erica. Significantly from week to week to improve it.

In addition, the category is not bad, but it's not very good, and DeAndre Colton. They both sang songs that I listened to all the time and they just do not cut their interpretation.

Jesus took a huge step backwards and could be the weakest performance of the night, except for ... Heejun. It's not really gone after last week? Really? How long do we have to put up with it? It not only can not sing, it's incredibly boring. Let's focus on people with real talent, please.

Diane Wilson, Saratoga - Billy Joel? Really? Gray! This is the best thing we can do for our young heroes? Most of them are lucky if their grandmothers and grandfathers will remember his music. Please give us the songs of Aerosmith, if you go back in time.

Fortunately, there were some excellent performances. Jessica was the best, and sang like a dream. She was raised and elegant. Flawless. Honored always O.

Colton singing "Piano Man". This song is based on its abilities. Smoky and husky. Nevertheless, the high notes wherever they go. Finishing with a bang and slowly drifts.

However, one of my favorite was Elise. This is the most confident she has looked all season. Although too grating for a while, she was under the control of the song.

Therefore, those who can take their dirty laundry home and save your laundry room:

DeAndre singing "Only the Good Die Young". Maybe the name of an omen of his future on the show? This is very bad, I wanted to fast forward.

Our resident Heejun strange guy. OMG, he takes his clothes. If this is not scary enough, this butchering of the song, or, as Jennifer said, "were not included in the vote." When Stephen told to take things more seriously than you know that you are in trouble.

Today, most disappointing, but not to return home was Holly. She did not hit her notes.

Always safe:

Eric, yes! I'm going to cut and dye my hair to win. It looks hip and hot.

Jesus was rescued by the choir.

If Skylar to be "loaded" or not? Her dress looks like it got entangled in the parachute. In addition, she sang with her usual enthusiasm and courage of countries.

Philip "Movin 'Out". Unfortunately, Tommy and Diddy. No tricks this singer. He wore a gray double! Music speaks through and for him. The true and solid performance.

Much better show now than I was expecting. Good job, idols!

Tony Leong, Auckland - the best performers were:

Jessica: "Everyone has a dream." Standing "O" is better at night. Very strong, mature and crystalline voice. You can feel the emotions she expresses in this song.

Colton. "Piano Man" Excellent performance. Colton was one of my favorite, and he appeared again. He was in the area.

Elise: "Vienna". It was pretty consistent in their work - not very large nor very bad. Today the song selection was perfect for her. And a good translation.

Eric: "New York state of mind." His best performance to date. I've been a fan of her, but she hit the outside of the park. His song choice was perfect for his voice deep and hoarse, as well as his singing style.

I must say, it's about Heejun: Well, energy efficiency. He is improving every week. People need to leave your Heejun problem with the so-called "Accent". Why French accent in the company considered more focused sound than the Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese? Quite a racist, as far as I'm concerned.

Those who are in trouble: DeAndre, Skylar and Joshua.

Eileen SIMON, Walnut Creek - We have a new winner today is great, and Colton. All was well for him, and he was right all this.

Jesus may not be available, but it's certainly not go away. Philip and shines even in the gray.

Jessica did not disappoint. It is not easy to be good, it is amazing.

The biggest surprise was Eric. I'm from New York too.

DeAndre with glasses hanging from the collar and Heejun make me smile. Thank you, guys.

My bottom two Holly, who still looks like 1940 (believe me, I was there) and Skylar who looked strangely deformed in such a form (look at the corner of the profile). Their performances were at the height of the others? No.

Jennifer Lawrence Brackets Fame Hungry Thurs Madness

Jennifer Lawrence Brackets Fame Hungry Thurs Madness: Jennifer Lawrence is nominated for an Oscar for his shoulders, and his place in the superhero franchise was created, but its main role in the movie "Hunger Games" is certainly the biggest thing that "happened in his career.

When Lawrence came to play the heroine Katniss Everdeen teenager, despite a big fan of the book, Susan Collins, 21 years, knew that the adoption will change the life of the party.

She was not sure she was ready for the harsh light of public attention will inevitably lead to a blockbuster.

"It may be my age, but the career and fame, and all these things fall into my list of priorities," said Lawrence, sitting in a luxury Four Seasons Beverly Hills.

"It's my job. But family and friends, and laugh and have fun, all these things are at the top, and I was afraid that something on my list of priorities would be to change something profound. There are moments, so little when you are faced with a solution that will change your life forever, and there is no turning back ... so that there is something to think about. "

But after a pep talk to his mother, Lawrence decided that she probably regrets what she did as she slipped.

"It was just afraid that I miss. I did not want to miss anything because I was scared," she said.

If you have not heard about the Hunger Games, you will soon.

Pop-culture phenomenon of Twilight proportions, in 2008 the book was on the bestseller list of the New York Times, more than 100 weeks, has been translated into 26 languages ​​and spawned two sequels, light, and Mockingjay.

Cleverly written a trilogy, and as a result of Collins deviated from reality shows and videos on a new war in the post-apocalyptic America (now Panem), in which a totalitarian government keeps its citizens in line with a mixture of brute force and twisted entertainment.

Once a year, a boy and a girl aged 12 to 18 randomly selected in each of the 12 districts in the country eager to play, debates, the scene of battle to the death, which can be only one survivor.

To tell the version of the film was highly anticipated is an understatement. When Advance ticket sales began last month, the Hunger Games record held by Eclipse.

Because this adaptation of a novel for young adult bestseller - which also has a love triangle, with Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth plays the romantic interest of the Australian competitors - Lawrence made the comparison Twilight.

"I fully understand - and I think Kristen Stewart is really a great actress, I loved her in Cake Eaters and The Runaways, so I'm totally okay with that.".

At the tender age of 21 years and, despite the lack of formal training, veteran of the acting Lawrence, passing from the native state of Kentucky to New York to 14 years to find an agent.

After scoring a recurring role in the comedy Bill Engvall Show, and other small screen appearances in Cold Case and Medium Enterprises, she made her film debut in the drama Garden Party 2008.

In the same year, she turned heads with Charlize Theron in The Burning Plain.

But it was her role as a teenager to take care of his family in the backward regions of the methods of cooking in the winter of 2010 the bones of the indie drama, which really put on the card, making it the second youngest woman to be nominated for best actress at the Oscars.

After the speech, that the shape change of Mysticism in the X-Men: First Class, and the romantic drama like crazy marked him as one of the brightest talents around.

His Hunger Games Role Donald Sutherland calls it enthusiastically, "Jennifer Lawrence Olivier," and directed by Gary Ross said she is a "once in a decade" talent, which gave the best audition "He's never seen before.

During his short career Lawrence has worked with some serious Hollywood heavyweights, including Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster at the beaver.

She says she gets a little nervous meeting celebrities.

In preparation for his next film Silver Linings Playbook - the eccentric David O. Russell comedy about a man who returns home to his family after a stay in a psychiatric hospital - she disparaged, probably the greatest actor of his generation, Robert De Niro, in favor of the Australian Jackie Weaver.

"We went on our first table read, and I will not scream in the face and jumping up and down and do what I really wanted to do. So I thought I was going to play it cool," Lawrence said, laughing.

"Then he started to reach my hand and I just went straight at him and went to Jackie Weaver and said, 'Oh my God, I love you. Animals incredible. "

I think the idea that Robert was a little strange, but I eventually warms to say: "You're incredible." I think it was kind of ... released, he probably thought that I had no idea who he was. But I just like Jackie. I want her to take me. She is so sweet and funny and incredibly talented. "

Weaver and Lawrence, of course, could have stuck to their increased experience as an Oscar nominee last year.

Whirlwind of news, talk shows and red carpets accompanied - a reflection of his character goes Hunger Games - Lawrence feet.

By its very nature, open and unpretentious (it should ask his publicist, that dress she wears), she found that all the chatter of Hollywood comedy.

"I laughed - I know what it's like to feel like a doll," she said.

"You have these dresses are pushing on you, and you do not want and do not feel like you are, and then suddenly you have to do for people like you.

"My job used to read the script, say administrators, including together, and now suddenly half of my work, what's going on uncomfortable clothes with lots of make-up trying to get people to like me.

"It's a strange thing to have thrown at you."

With the opening of the Hunger Games around the world this week, Lawrence - who met with his X-Men role of Nicholas Holt, Brit 22 years - enjoying his last moments of relative anonymity.

She said New Year's Eve last in Times Square and is preparing to say goodbye to the date of purchase in sweat pants and no makeup.

But the madness has already begun. She talks about a recent meeting of the fan while shopping at home in his adopted Los Angeles.

"A woman came up to me and said that she was a big fan and loved his job:" I know that this film will be released, and all will be really important to you so here's my card - call me if you need me "," Lawrence said .

"Then she was gone, and I looked at the map, and it was the object drug rehabilitation and bulimia, so I always kept that with me - .. Every time I changed the Hope scholarship I will not call him."

The Fact That The Republican "Establishment" Really Means

The Fact That The Republican "Establishment" Really Means: There was a lot of discussion, say, perhaps, too, the struggle between the GOP "establishment" and "them", sometimes - but not always - this means that the Tea Party, but determined. There are a lot of faults, bumper to bumper, which is shared by various groups on the right, but it is time to clarify the basic question that there are people, temperament and conservative ideology completely scratching their heads in their own voters. In the end, we are conservative: the school is a good idea, to the intersection of tradition and meritocracy, giving too much weight or destination, and dangerous ideas of revolution and radical change. What's wrong?

The answer is simple: it is almost exclusively on costs. At present, the trajectory of U.S. government spending, in which government spending in general and the federal government, in particular, is growing as a share of the economy, increasing evictions space occupied by the free citizens and private companies in the private sector. Moreover, much of this is done automatically, without the consent of the governed in all but the most superficial: discretionary spending is growing, because the budgets are prepared using the expenditures for the previous year as a starting point, and public law and the cost of paying benefits employees - who consume most of the costs - develops itself in the absence of positive legislation to stop it. The federal government has not adopted a budget of about 1000 days (the State of the Union speech by President Obama on the occasion of 1000), and the costs continue to rise and will continue to grow as the eye can see - a radical change in our country runs on autopilot - if dramatic response to stop. Jack magic beans have nothing on public spending.

And the growth in spending is bleeding over each other questions. Federal spending is subject to certain conditions, and chains to reduce the independence of states and the federal octopus arm to dig deeper into the field of social policy. Institutions such as churches, schools and hospitals have become dependent on federal money, and have to dance all the way up to the federal government. The costs are allocated and earmarked for those who favor the companies and groups that make society less equal and less government ethics. The costs distorts energy markets, the housing market and the market in higher education, the creation of bubbles and inefficiency. So, before we even metastatic growth of federal regulation. And, finally, escape domestic spending undermines our ability to adequately fund our national defense.

There is general agreement among both philosophical conservatives and Republicans at all. Where the fault line that way, we are ready to go do something. Many people who came into politics as a good conservative, and I still consider myself a good conservative restricted limits of practicality, at a loss when it comes to meaningful ways to tame the Leviathan. For reasons, some good (to use political power to protect national security, maintaining control over the courts and to limit the regulation is too far away), some less, they threw in the towel on the main question of the day. This tells us about another "Creation." - Not always with a sense of action and opportunities, but due to the urgency of the case, pay attention to the dramatic impact to prevent the threat of over-pass a tipping point where we no longer can make room for the private sector. They are outsiders, the complex system and its basic provisions. The analogy is appropriate tea: the Founding Fathers had much in common with the conservatives of his time, but do not agree on the fundamental issue, not a principle but in practical politics: if the revolution was necessary to their traditional right to protection from the British time to eradicate the growing encroachments of the British Crown. As it was then, the difference between them consists in determining the question of the Republican Party and conservative movement today.

In short, the true "Creation" and "Outsider", "anti-establishment" or "tea party" faction is not about who is conservative or moderate, or anyone inside or outside the Moscow Ring Road, or public office, or who holds degrees from the imagination or a large number of readers / listeners cocktails or visiting rights or the church, and not even sure who has or does not support different candidates. "Creation" is used and abused in these conditions, but has consistently described the movement of one division value. real battle between the agency and among outsiders those who argue for major changes in our habits, as the need to save America we know and those who are not ready to take that step. This is, in general, between those who are not ready to take action in the hope that Currently, the structures, as public money is spent are not viable and should be fixed so that there is still time, if we do not lose, abuse of other Republicans and conservatives in the things.

In a sense, the separation between confrontation and accommodation in the public sector growth is one that dates back to 1950, and historical roots are useful for understanding why the National Review, in particular, was caught in crossfire between editors and readers. The Great Debate GOP 1933-1956, or if he was, how to react to a new course: to try to curb its excesses, its premises or attack. Dwight Eisenhower eventually won the battle within the party in favor of the former. William F. Buckley, Jr., eventually won the battle inside the conservative movement in favor of the latter (hence the slogan "always on the history, yelling 'stop!'). But even Buckley and his magazine devoted more effort to fight against the status quo in national security policy on the size of government.

The failure of Goldwater in 1964 to win Reagan's 1980 victory and Newt Gingrich in 1994 and the failure in 1995-96, the common denominator that the Conservatives win the debate about tax cuts and national ownership of discretionary spending, but lose the arguments about the dismantling of state law by Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson and the autopilot budget process swelling of the 1970s. George W. Bush reinforced this consensus in 2000-05: he could not get the public for tax cuts and (partially) limit the growth of discretionary domestic spending, but could not get the public to reform Social Security and could not be elected in 2000 promising - and delivery in 2003 - a new law on health insurance, expensive prescription drugs. It seemed then that the Conservatives have to settle for winning the battles on taxes, national security, social issues and the courts, and discretionary spending, from time to time, but could not challenge the status quo on the rule of law and mandatory collectivist impulses.

The Background

Then we have some punch in 2006-2011 who collectively pushed a lot of people for the right to take the position that they can be naive about how much change was possible, will be determined Creation was naive to the length of the old system survived:

A. GOP Congress had drowned in the elections of 2006 and 2008, calling into question the long-term viability of the election strategy of modest ambitions to rein in costs, and emphasizes the ethics of coexistence with the danger of a massive federal spending.

Two. The U.S. financial crisis has left the federal and state governments that are able to immediately and noticeably horrible year, resulting in renewed interest in the fact that the law (civil rights and privileges, civil servants), we must pass it and it was only getting worse - the fact that otherwise moderate officials, Chris Christie and Mitch Daniels could use to get public support for fundamental rethinking of the social contract between the state and its employees if they are not his constituents.

Three. The U.S. financial crisis pales in comparison to the financial crisis in Europe. Terrible situation of Greece, in particular, was an event of radicalization, as Americans practitioners were presented a vivid example of how the state does not support the law. And the deterioration in the credit of the United States in the summer of 2011 fissured complacency of those who have made such a thing could never happen here.

4. In a broader sense, the financial crisis has shaken the faith of people around the American society in our major institutions, both public and private. He made many people less trusting of experts and not so easily calms the challenges the status quo. Wall Street takes a movement in its own way, said the center was fraying on both sides. The growth in support of Ron Paul is also a symptom of this trend.

Five. Barack Obama was elected, and brought the most dramatic expansion of the universal right to public memory of the public health, destroy the illusion that the Republicans would hold the line, being reactive and awakening of many citizens of the previously sleeping on the full risk of compulsory national policies that dictate the details of our personal lives.

6. War - the glue that has occurred and that the Bush coalition - the first degree politically toxic in 2006, then began to recede in importance, almost as soon as both parties choose their candidates for president in 2008, mainly on the basis of their position on the war in Iraq. Without the war as a unifying force policy, failed to convince the hawks spending to address these issues aside for the common good.

7. The success of some - but not all - Tea Party candidates in the 2010 election showed that many voters were open to what is, perhaps, the whole structure of relations between the federal government to the voters was not viable.

Confronting Leviathan

Where do we go from here?

Congress

 Creating Outsiders compared with the dynamic is most clearly manifested in the various battles of John Boehner - to his credit, despite the fact that by temperament and experience of the classic figure of the institution itself - attempted to budgetary issues, most of which ended with his environment and is controlled by a de facto union administration Obama, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, the most depressing. The lines of battle, as strong as its weakest link, and Boehner has repeatedly engaged in battle, not being able to count on McConnell and Senate Republican Party to keep his end of the line, making it a negotiating position untenable. For most, turning the House of Representatives and the Senate is not about ideology, but also on the tactics and the Senate Republicans were simply not prepared to go as far as at home. This is exactly what I mean by "creation".

Outsider small but determined faction in the Senate, led by men like Jim DeMint and Ron Johnson, you need reinforcements, and all the more so if - as we shall see below - we end up with Mitt Romney as a candidate for the Republican Party and, possibly, the next president. That's why I said, here and here, the importance of continuing to create a counterweight to the Republican Party in Congress to what comes out of the presidential race, in particular unbeholden to Romney, with particular emphasis on the Senate to wrest control of the party leadership from the current accomodationist. Results to date have been mixed, although the refusal to support the candidate Jim DeMint before the primaries in South Carolina, at least to begin with.

The White House

The presidential race is, of course, was a big disappointment. Of the five remaining candidates, both Texans really anti-establishment, but one (Rick Perry) struggling to gain traction and is not (despite an impressive record) is particularly persuasive spokesperson, while the other (Paul) is limited by many other ways it is unacceptable to the right office and unworthy significant. North-east, are two figures of expenditure on the creation of classics: his entire career in the Mitt Romney (like his father), the approach embodied in the era of Eisenhower's place, complete with his signature huge road of a new law in Massachusetts, while Rick Santorum much more than a populist outsider tempermentally, his career ended under the leadership of the Senate, who lost his way, his office in preparation for 2006. Both involve vocals, overlapping sections devoted to the applause on the grounds that the tiger must be installed. In the middle, we have Newt Gingrich, who, as I said above, is heterogeneous in this regard, Newt believes less confrontational ways to begin to unravel the law, but it's not really a small government guy, and your view of the weight to be placed on his success and failures in this area may be different.

Contrast can be illustrated by the responses to the debate last night, Santorum and Romney in the Gingrich plan to offer private accounts as a voluntary renunciation of the social security system for younger workers. Santorum:

    [How to Newt] irresponsible. And I say Newt cons, because no one in the last 15 years, it was more in favor of personal savings accounts that I have a social security system. But we did when we had a surplus of social security. We are now shortages of social security. We are now a huge deficit in this country.

    As proposed in the Gingrich Congress, if it is right that 95 percent of young workers [refuse] to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars in debt has increased, hundreds of billions more debt on the premise of the book, we can 't just - we will borrow money from China to finance these accounts, it's wrong. I have for these accounts, but first we must get our fiscal house in order to balance the budget and then create the possibility that Newt wants. But the idea to do it now, it is financial madness.
Romney:

    Rick rights. I - I know it's popular here to say, oh, we could - we can do and it does not cost anything. But look, it will be difficult to get our federal budget from the current 25 per cent of GDP to 20 to 18 percent, which was our history. We have a large number of bonds in this country and the reduction will occur. I know something about balancing budgets.

    In the private sector, you have no choice. You balance your budget, or leave the company. And we - we can not say that we are going to go out and borrow more money to help people create new accounts that take money from Social Security and Medicare today. Therefore, we must give people the opportunity to have an account voluntarily, a program of voluntary savings are taxed. That's why I said the middle-income one should be able to save their money tax-free. No withholding tax on interest, dividends and capital gains.

    This American [] savings and carries out its purpose, Mr. President, without jeopardizing the future viability of America with financial folly.

Santorum and Romney, and clearly understand that the proposed Newt would be good for young workers, but Santorum argues that we should keep them in custody in the current system for payment of benefits to other currents, which, of course, a self-fulfilling cycle, which supports reform of the barrier system . This is the reason for Romneycare and Obamacare - compelling individuals to subsidize the program team - and why these programs are so difficult to eradicate when they were created for some time. More importantly, both Santorum and Romney is not - as in the requests for postponement of Santorum and Romney offers alternative savings on top of social security - is that we already have the benefits of current beneficiaries, regardless of how we finance them, but failure of the system, which prevents us from further obligations to young workers, who would then be self-fund their retirement, to change the system gradually from defined benefit to a longer actuarial defined contribution system, like most private employers in recent decades and the government, because even the government and local authorities are beginning to realize that they should (Romney, of course, recognized this when he is dealing with a private company). This is a fundamental philosophical argument to be made if we are to convince the American people that not only the costs of the crisis is real and the law - that the public is ready to accept - but also that the party has a more sustainable long-term answer to fixing it so it does not happen again.

At the present time with Romney in the lead, it seems likely that whatever the outcome of presidential elections in 2012 will be a huge missed opportunity to teach the American public about the nature of the crisis and establish a warrant for the person.
