After recovering, he changed his mind and praised the Fed. About seven US Presidents have been assassinated for not cooperating with the Transatlantic Banking Dynasties (William Henry Harrison, poisoned, in 1841, Zachary Taylor, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and John F. Kennedy 1963; 7 if FDR's poisoning is counted). Most of us feel sick when we realize that Not one dime of IRS money goes to the US Gov't, according to Reagan's Grace Commission: it all goes to pay interest on a bogus debt to the Private Federal Reserve (FED), just to allow paper money to circulate as "Federal Reserve...

Murtha Denies Obama Credit for Iraq Speech, Praises Reagan Administration
2008-04-04 07:48:00 The man who was made famous by his post invasion opposition to the war in Iraq is brushing off Obama?s pre-invasion anti-war stance. John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania) became popular after he spoke out against the war after he was given the gift of hindsight. "Obama had a nice view from the outside. It is easy when you are outside to make a statement like that. When you are inside, you have a responsibility to try and work this thing out. I don't know that [his speech] had an impact. I didn't even know about the speech. A lot of people said a lot of things," Murtha said. Murtha has endorsed Senator Clinton which came as a surprise to many. There were many pundits and experts that thought Obama?s stance on the war before the invasion would be a big factor in deciding who to endorse. Based on Murtha?s statement about Obama?s speech he is trying to shoulder off his responsibility for his vote by saying inside the beltway politicians had more reasons to go into Iraq. ...

Did Obama Just Call Reagan Supporters Racist?
2008-03-19 17:36:00 Brian over at “Reagan’s GOP” made an interesting catch with something Obama said recently. He seems to disagree with [Jeremiah Wright’s] tone, but not with his ideas. Obama had no problem calling a majority of Americans angry racists without using every word and couching the sentiments in flowery rhetoric. ?Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition.? After 20 years, and by a self-avowed ?admirer? of Ronald Reagan, the far left and their candidate du jure, Barack Obama, still cling to the belief that Ronald Reagan was the choice of 44 states in 1980 and 49 states in 1984 because a bunch of racist whites were ?angry? about welfare and affirmative action. [Reagan’s GOP] Is it just me, or are you starting to get the feeling Obama might have a little racist blood running through his veins?

What Hillary Clinton Can Learn from Ronald Reagan
2008-02-24 15:51:00 The greatest comeback in presidential primary election history fell just short of success. Ronald Reagan, doing his party no favors, decided to challenge the unelected incumbent president, Gerald Ford, for the 1976 GOP nomination. Reagan, who would later be known, ironically, for his 11th Commandment ("Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican"), attacked Ford as a feckless moderate, unable to stand up to a Democratic Congress and too weak and compromised to pursue an aggressive anti-Communist foreign policy. The president, who had pardoned his disgraced predecessor, Richard Nixon, and had overseen the country's humiliating final defeat in Vietnam, was understood to be in deep trouble.Ford, however, began the primary season with a string of victories, including a narrow win in New Hampshire, then a rock-ribbed conservative state that was assumed by many to be Reagan country. His campaign faltering and in danger of extinction, the Gipper rebounded in North Carolina and Texas, ...

Friday?s Fable: The Crow and the Raven
2008-02-08 13:00:00 A CROW was jealous of the Raven, because he was considered a bird of good omen and always attracted the attention of men, who noted by his flight the good or evil course of future events. Seeing some travelers approaching, the Crow flew up into a tree, and perching herself on one of the branches, cawed as loudly as she could. The travelers turned towards the sound and wondered what it foreboded, when one of them said to his companion, “Let us proceed on our journey, my friend, for it is only the caw of a crow, and her cry, you know, is no omen.” You may not have heard, but John McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution. It’s true, just ask him. And now there are other some who want us to believe that John McCain is Reagan reborn. In the mid-1970s, the GOP was crippled by corruption, and betrayal of conservative principles had brought the party to its knees. Expectations of a firm and principled stand against the Soviet Union had been converted to the mis...
