My Mom left her copy of Glenn Beck's Broke with me. It just reconfirmed what I've already known, although I don't think I was clear on the magnitude of just how broke we really are as a nation. No holds barred, this book. It doesn't matter if you have an R or a D after your name. If a President had part in the financial crisis (that's too tame a word for it, but it will have to do) that we

A while back, I wrote about the so-called Cloward-Piven Strategy. The concept is outlined in an article entitled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" published in The Nation magazine, May 2nd 1966.Basically the idea is to overwhelm welfare & entitlement programs by getting as many people as possible enrolled in them. When the government cannot meet the entitlement demands of the

American Thinker: It's the Constitution that's Radicalizing Our PoliticiansThis is a very interesting take on the state of the legislature of the United States. Repeal the 17th Amendment (good luck) and return to Article I Section 3. Get real representation for the interests of each State instead of having BOTH Houses pandering to the masses.

My take on the current political/internet buzz:I saw this yesterday on HotAir. Pretty sad no matter how you take it...Honestly, I think the police officer just might have misspoke out of frustration & nervousness in front of the camera. But taking all of his statements together throughout the video like, "I can charge you whatever I want to charge you" didn't do anything to assuage the notion

It's back!I was hoping this had died, but that is not the case.Today's big tech news is the return of legislative proposals to grant the White House power over the Internet. The "ability" to shut down parts of the net in case of a "cyber-attack".

Old news by today's standards, but I will document it nevertheless:The White House initiates a program for neighbors to rat out their friends, bloggers, e-mailers, etc. who are spreading "fishy" information about Obamacare:There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.

It is my opinion that President Obama is a narcissistic megalomaniac, as demonstrated by many documented actions & statements he has made—so I see this picture as symbolic of that.Never mind all that though. Let's look at the positive side this picture captures: Crowley, the officer charged with being a racist, is assisting the very man who makes this accusation against him (and has made against

President Obama has called upon all Americans to sacrifice, to do their part (in just what ways we have to wonder). So congratulations you've done a lot already but probably haven't felt the effects just yet.The average national debt burden has risen an additional $55,000 per household in the US this year alone.
