Bush seeks to federalize emergencies

NUTS! The emperor has no clothes! Bush is NOT a conservative! Get it yet?

The So-called Republican President is rapidly demonstrating his true identity as a genuine FDR democrat: strong on national security, consistantly in pursuit of an expanded role for the Federal government in for example education, healthcare, and now THIS proposal for the Feds to trump the primary responsibility for emergency preparedness, and first-responder type services.

So much for federalism and the 10th amendment, as the MSM and assorted sheeple bleat for more feed from the Great Father in Washington, instead of looking to their own wits to maybe do some planning and preparation for expected natural (or un-natural) calamities.

Why is it too much to expect that a Republican leader could actually promote restraint of the growth of the Federal government, without turning our back on the apparent civilizational confrontation with Islamofascism.

What we need at this point in politics is SOMETHING that still believes in the attitude of the now thoroughly defunct Reagan Revolution: domestic restraint & a robust national security. Ronaldus Magnus has to be spinning in his grave.

As the confirmation of John Roberts draws near, we're beginning to see how Democrats and Republicans will vote for him. Most of us figured that the Dems would play nice with Roberts and stifle the next nominee, all the while...

State, mine officials sign Homestake pact

Plans are moving ahead for conversion of the Homestake mine in the SD Black Hills to an underground laboratory. The mine is one of two sites being considered by the National Science Foundation for setting up a deep underground research lab. For the Homestate, this would be at around 7400 feet below ground. The mine is 8000 feet deep.

While the NSF plans are still pending, SD Gov. Mike Rounds is pursuing plans for a state-financed lab to be started sooner at the 4800 foot level. In addition to being a research asset in its own right, this would also give Homestake a leg up in the NSF selection process.

The agreement with the mining company opens the way for the state to complete financing and to start to implement plans for the intermediate level lab.

A good move for the state.
