- Rangel taking softer tone before trial for ethics violations. Forget the red/blue aspect of the story, the real lesson is that “Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it”. William Pitt, British prime minister from 1766 to 1778, said this and it has been true for thousands of years. Check back periodically to learn about SLAP initiatives that bring the power of this government back where it belongs… with the people.

- Germany about to levy additional taxes on the obese. It’s coming to the US with Obamacare in just a few short years. “Hope and Change”… Hope you fit into the ruling class’ model of an ideal citizen; if not, the change for you will be a move to the poorhouse.
- CNN calls for Crackdown on bloggers, a “gatekeeper” for internet blogging… Unconstitutional Censorship. It will come in small waves, not with any type of bang. Don’t allow it! Wouldn’t it be great to know that your information is filtered through government “gatekeepers”? … Really??? Pravda anyone?

- Britain tries to save economy by DECENTRALIZING national health care. We are trapped in a sewer of global government corruption and all the rats are running towards the light of freedom and choice. You have to wonder why we are still moving full steam ahead in the opposite direction. When the sewer collapses in a flood of tyranny, what will be left for our children?

- China’s central bank pushing to move away from dollar as benchmark for exchange rate. The Central Banks (including our own Federal Reserve Bank) are the greatest institutional threats to freedom in our world today. When the dollar collapses, the US middle class will see despair like never before and be willing to accept the rhetoric of any tyrant who claims to have the answer.

- Unintended consequence of obamacare. Less health insurance options for children. Unfortunately, this is the first of so many unadvertised features of this legislation that will lead us down a road to despair. This is how a dictatorship is built: not with a bang, but with subtle changes that force us to accept an existence previously unacceptable to a strong, free population.

The left at it’s worst. On Redstate, Erik Brockway has a post about Gunny Popaditch who is the victim of political satire, because he was wounded in the war.
Read Erik’s post and then donate to help Gunny Popaditch. This cartoon is an example of leftest intolerance at it’s worst
Reflections on Leadership: McChrystal
Posted on 23 June 2010 | 1 response
The discussion about McChrystal seems to involve President Obama’s decisiveness. Many of the commentators feel McChrystal should be sacked, so Obama can prove he is a man, a man willing to loose a war to save face. Others say, McChrystal is the general we have to have and you have to keep him, which would make Obama look like a man, a man willing to be ridiculed by his underlings to succeed in his goals. I read the Rolling Stone article. It is apparently written by someone who is not neutral, the author has an axe to grind. Call it the opening salvo of the “We need Hillary to save the world” propaganda wars.

NY incident – dangerous new level of attack

There are some simple steps to connecting the dots.
1. You have to believe in the existence of dots.
2. You have to look for dots everywhere.
3. You have to look for patterns between the dots.
The biggest problem everyone seems to have is believing dots exist. Yesterday Bill Bennett focused like a laser on why we had these series of miss fire attacks. (dot….dot….dot)
The consensus among the callers, some experts and Bennett’s show staff was it was luck. Now lets look at it differently.
1. We are at war. We have been waging that war on enemy territory and winning.
2. The enemy isn’t defeated and we have given them some breathing room to regroup and reorganize. They intend to continue the fight.
3. They realize that we win because we take the fight to the streets of their cities. They want to win.
Now, you may not see the connection so let me explain it. They are probing our defenses. Read more
Obama is scared, but not about civil rights.
Posted on 27 April 2010 | Comments Off
The Arizona laws that make it a crime to be undocumented is a threat to Obama and his supporters. But not because it will infringe on civil rights. Obamacare, Cap & Trade, Financial Regulation reform, and a whole host of ideas the fringe elements in control of the Democrat party are putting forth all infringe on civil liberties. Big time. At the rate they are going the only people in this country with any liberty left will be undocumented workers that don’t pay taxes and don’t own property. Everyone else will be a serf to the manor house at 1600 Washington Ave.
So why is he scared.
Because the solution that Arizona implemented works. And the rest of the country realizes that you don’t need the federal government to fix big problems with local impact. A combination of changing technology, and a disillusionment with the federal activist political paradigm that has driven politics for the last half century. The truth is, the solution to the most important issues facing Americans today can be dealt with locally.
