Paul Weyrich of The Free Congress Foundation wrote a glowing piece about Ken Blackwell, currently serving as Ohio Secretary of State who is running for governor in 2006. Finished reading the piece and I thought, here is one of the remnant who fear God, just like it is mentioned in I King 19:18.

If I were a Democrat, I would listen to what Tim Roemer has to say in this piece.

It is believed, by people on both ends of the political spectrum, liberal and conservative alike, that eminent domain has gone too far in this country. The case Susette Kelo, et al., Petitioners v. City of New London, Connecticut, et al. currently pending before the US Supreme Court will have far reaching consequences in the future of capitalism in this country in particular and the West in general. As pointed out in the February 7th edition of "What We Now Know" by Investors Insight, in his 2000 landmark book The Mystery of Capital, Peruvian economist Hernando De Soto tackles the vexing question posed by his subtitle: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else. The answer, De Soto maintains in a carefully constructed argument, lies not with a scarcity of natural resources, nor the legacy of colonialism, nor some innate inferiority, nor even type of government. It is that the entrepreneurial spirit flourishes in places where private property is strongly protected by law, and languishes where it is not.
