Richard Fisher, head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, is fond of quoting the Biblical admonition: "Come, be serious and discipline yourselves." He could be speaking directly to Occupy Dallas and similar groups across the country whose members are fast throwing away a chance to do something significant for themselves and the nation.

"The fox knows many things. The hedgehog knows just one thing." That's a saying that says a lot about American politics. For years the Republican party has soared and scored on the back of the hedgehog, singing the song of One True Thing. Limited government, it was for awhile. Then pro-life, followed by defense of marriage. After that came reinstatement of the Christian church at the center of the state.
