The crowds are angry, the polls unfavorable, but Gov. Scott Walker has so far refused to compromise on key pieces of his controversial budget repair bill. Such resolve would be impressive in a politician with the resume of a Tommy Thompson or Russ Feingold, but it's a little shocking for a governor with just eight weeks under his belt.

Americans again stand with muskets in hand http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | This is the week it all began -- when a nation arose that would blaze across the stage of history "trailing clouds of glory." Some say America started on July 4, 1776, when a congress in Philadelphia proclaimed, "These United Colonies are and of a right ought to be Free and Independent States." In fact, America's birthday is April 19. On that day in 1775, the labor pains started on the Lexington green. The baby was delivered at Concord's North Bridge. The midnight ride of Paul Revere.
