Barone: GOP candidates must remind young voters that ours is the party of
2012-02-08 02:18:00
Back in the 2008 campaign (and its immediate aftermath), I talked to a lot of young voters enthusiastic about Barack Obama.  When I asked many why they supported the Chicago politician, they repeated the usual bromides about how their guy was a different kind of politician who would change the way things were done in ...

Deep dishonor in America?s Leftist academe
2012-02-06 01:49:00
The Humanities faculty at Durham’s Duke University have demonstrated bigoted anti-white attitudes that are perfectly mainstream among such faculty at American universities. An amazing total of 88 of them signed the now notorious condemnation of the innocent Duke lacrosse players before the players had even appeared in court, let alone been convicted. Their ...

Gary Johnson: Let's get America moving again

JOHNSON: Let's get America moving againReplacing income and capital-gains taxes with Fair-tax is a good place to start By Gary Johnson - The Washington Times    &n-bsp;    &nb-sp;    &nbs-p;     -;     -     &-nbsp;    &n-bsp; Thursday, February 2, 2012 With the real unemployment rate probably well above 10 percent, we have to, as President Kennedy said, "get America moving again." When I visited Occupy Wall Street, I felt the frustration of young people who wanted to work but couldn't get an interview, much less a job. What's even more frustrating is that when I visit business owners and employers, I meet people who want to hire, but can't. Capitalism requires capital. When government robs capital from investors in the form of high taxes, it takes away the money that creates jobs - real private-sector jobs that contribute to the h...

America?s Love/Hate Affair with Investors

When it comes to residential real estate investors, there are clearly two points of view today within the real estate industry and in Washington.  Some applaud investors for plunking down their own dollars to save decaying homes in moribund neighborhoods and reviving local real estate markets.   But investors come under fire by others  for out-competing ...This Article is Copyright © 2004-2011 BiggerPockets, Inc.

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Falling Down in Los Angeles Traffic

Yesterday, while pumping gas, I saw a woman melt down when unable to fill her Lexus SUV with gas. I silently mocked her. Today, I sympathized with her. Maybe she had had the kind of traffic I did today and the challenge of self-serve gasoline was the straw which broke the proverbial camel’s back. Driving ...

Ahmedinejad Visits Latin America, Washington Implores and Seethes
2012-01-16 16:15:00
At the best of times, the U.S. government is regarded as somewhat out of touch with what’s happening in the American "heartland," much less the world at large, so much so that the phrase "inside the Beltway" was coined to define the syndrome. But every now and again, an incident occurs that so perfectly encapsulates Washington’s self-absorbed navel gazing that little further comment is needed. On 9 January U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland provided such a "Kodak moment" to the Washington press corps. The object of her concern? Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s visit to Latin America, where he is touring Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador and Nicaragua. Nuland said that, because of its civilian nuclear energy . . . → Read More: Ahmedinejad Visits Latin America, Washington Implores and Seethes

America and Taliban
2012-01-13 08:20:00
The story of American support for the mujahedeen must be instructive for Israelis. With rare exceptions, Afghani mujahedeen militias are a remarkably murderous bunch. While generally refraining from alienating the neighboring population, they often engage in grisly atrocities against less supportive segments. American officials never did so much as scold the Northern Alliance publicly for their human rights violations. Israel, however, is constantly investigated for ridiculously minor transgressions. The Northern Alliance’s secret is threefold: its atrocities are sufficiently gross that reforming its policies is not an option—and diplomats do not like to involve themselves with thankless tasks. Reporters also are not permitted into areas where atrocities have been committed, and the atrocities are large enough to turn from human tragedy into statistics. The American-propped Kabul government is rotten: not only does it incorporate a number of high-profile thugs, but many Taliban ...
A divisive leader & his false choices

Chinese Students In America. It's Bad Out There.
2012-01-11 23:28:00
Much has been written about Chinese students coming to American colleges. An article out today, entitled, "Chinese applications to U.S. schools skyrocket," starts out quoting a Chinese high schooler who is contemplating attending the University of Washington: I know this [ambition] is pretty high,” said the 17-year old Beijing native.  “But I think I can give it a shot.”  To prepare, Duan wants to study international relations at an American college – someplace like the University of Washington. “I hear [it] is good at social science," she said. The University of Washington is one of approximately 10 U.S. universities Duan plans to apply to in the coming year with the help of an education consultant she hired last summer. That got me to thinking about the complaints (yes, it has been nothing but complaints) I have heard from college students (the majority of whom are at the University of Washington) about their fell...

The Ramble for 1/9/12… The Debates Vs Reality; America has been Defe
2012-01-09 10:30:00
Carlisle, PA– A quick run down from Rochester last night, and I’ll be headed for the Albany tomorrow. From there, likely back to Rochester, but I don’t know yet.   It’s snowed around Rochester Saturday night/Sunday morning,m and we’re looking at somewhat colder temps. Was nearly 60 on Saturday around home. It’s as I tld my wife… we have a January thaw going with no real winter in front of it, this year. Actually, I don’t mind, because I would have had to drive through all that snow that we didn’t get.  But I can’t get over the feeling that nature usually balances are books, and doesn’t give us a whole bunch of warning about the matter.  I’d take note due in predicting this, but we’re going to end up with a wing-dinger a storm … and soon. The Debates vs Reality:After the first couple of debates went by, I began to sense a feeling of total loss on the part of many Americans.Allow me to explai...

Overdosed America: It's A Free For All..... Excerpts from Chapter 14
2012-01-05 14:11:00
Overdosed America: Excerpts from Chapter 14: This is for all the "PillBillies" Here In These United States. If you don't know what a PillBilly is, Google it, because I surely didn't make the name up.  "The drug companies have no more responsibility to oversee the public's health than the fast-food industry has to oversee the public's diet."   Controlling medical costs in this near free-for all commercial grab is not just impossible, it is a contradiction in terms. Does it make sense to talk about reducing national expenditures for cars or clothes or beer? Medical care, by far the largest consumer commodity in the United States, is now no different.(taken from the book blog OVERDOSED AMERICA) When you look around and see the all the overdosed American zombies walking around like the night of the living dead characters, adults and children alike, look no further for some of the answers than to the American BIG Pharma Corporations. They don't care about you and ...

US Embassy slams Al Masry Al Youm

The US embassy in Cairo has issued a short statement today slamming Al Masry Al Youm after what the famous daily newspaper claimed that the American administration has pressed the Arab countries in the Gulf not to aid Egypt financially. Here is the statement : There is no truth to press reports alleging that the States has asked Arab countries to refrain from providing financial assistance to Egypt. To the contrary, we are continuing to engage other international partners to look for ways to support Egypt during this transitional period AMAY allegedly claims that the American administration has pressed the Gulf countries not to aid Egypt financially because SCAF appointed Ganzoury instead of Mohamed ElBaradei as PM.

There Will Be No Tim Tebow Miraculous Comeback Moment for America and THE M

I did not title this article.  I did not write this article.  But I think it took a lot of  guts to write this article. It is titled: THE TIM TEBOW COMEBACK STORY CONTINUES, BUT THERE WILL BE NO COMEBACK MOMENTS FOR THE U.S.ECONOMY. Tim Tebow kneeling and praying before a Football Game. First off, one has to realize here in the U.S., Football is sacred. What we call Football BTW is what the "rest of the world" calls soccer. We call soccer, soccer, NOT football. Where I come from MAD MONEY is money that you have stashed away just in case you want to split and git. It is the key to mobility. It is sacred to one's freedom to choose.  Jesse Ventura tells all about it on Tru Tv. With that said, Tim Tebow who happens to be a religious icon of some sort in the Football World here in the United States because of what started out as his, and his mother's, stance on anti- abortion  Tim and she and then the way he kneels down to pray on one knee before a game...
US Iraq withdrawal a "smokescreen"-- John Pilger (video) w Mars/Neptune smo
2011-12-20 16:26:00
(GRTV) ? Announcing the Iraq war was ended, Barack Obama told US troops on 14 December 2011, ?The United States military is the finest fighting force in the history of the world.?What he didn?t say is that since 1945 the US military has been directly responsible for the deaths of over 10 million people and that America has in that time overthrown 50 governments, including democracies, and intervened in at least 30 more.John Pilger has something to say about that: Mr. Pilger makes very good points as always but to my mind, it isn't just America doing these things according to her own plans, it's globalists directing her as she acts as their military arm on the world stage for their ultimate goal of world domination.Then there's the question of Iraq coming more under foreign domination with Iran leading the bunch. Bush screwed up every business he ran before he played president, so it's a given that he'd screw up Iraq and turn the nation into a Christmas gift for Iran.Well, if yo...
