We have created in America a permanent political class that has powerful incentives to remain in office and grow government. Protected from accountability by gerrymandered districts and financial support from special interests, its members at times actually defy their constituents, as they did on the illegal immigration issue in 2007 and the mortgage bailout bill in 2008. It's time to hold our politicians to account.

New York gives go-ahead to Ground Zero mosque
New York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission voted 9-0, in favor of a mosque near the site of the Twin Towers, which were destroyed in the 9/11 attacks. The vote removed the last obstacle to building the mosque. Pamela Geller: "I shouted, 'shame on you' and was joined by many others. Daisy Khan gloated and applauded gleefully. I find Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan's callousness towards the pain and grief they are causing to be radically intolerant."
