You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 47 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. http://www.rense.com/general32/americ.htm

Slaying Leviathan

You cannot make government listen to the people. It goes against its nature. Government preys on people: It takes away their money and it takes away their freedoms. This is what every government does. The bigger the government, the worse things are. The United States has the biggest and most intrusive government in its history, which is why things are so bad right now. http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/slaying_leviathan.html

The Evolution of Rights

Nice opinion piece from The New American:

http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/3613-the-evolution-of-rights

Whether it is keeping "his boot on the throat of BP" or searching for "whose ass to kick", the great orator has, in no uncertain terms, expressed his dismay over the situation and revealed his lack of leadership experience by attempting to talk his way through this environmental disaster. Once again, instead of "walking the walk", he's "talking the talk" by campaigning instead of governing. The result, however, is an almost comical-yet embarrassing-display of false bravado, courage and knowledge, while exposing his soft, inexperienced, underbelly.

Why Obama's Stimulus Failed!

Morning Bell thoughts from the Heritage Foundation

America's House of Cards

The strong foundation of our nation has, over the years, been weakened by over-legislation that has allowed the federal government to grow into a behemoth that can no longer be tethered through checks and balances. The result is a government that can no longer be trusted to enact legislation that reflects the will of the people. Any future program should be viewed as it truly is: Another weight on America's house of unstable cards. Overwhelming the system, one bill at a time.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. Pope John Paul II

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." -- Thomas Paine

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan

Words of Wisdom

even if the state demands it."

but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country.

is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things,
most emphatically belongs to God: himself."

patriotism, and find criticism subversive."

The End of Democratic Socialism

The end of democratic socialism is at hand. The welfare states of the U.S. and Europe are financially out of control, spent and unsustainable. They have reached the point that Margaret Thatcher defined as the end of socialism: They have run out of other people's money. These areas of the world are about to change.

Read Victor David Hanson's piece in National Review Online entitled : The Other European Volcano

Few wanted to listen when it was pointed out — well before the Greek meltdown — that on key questions of demography and immigration, the future of the European Union was bleak. The very idea that, in historical terms, socialism, agnosticism, pacifism, and hedonism were not only interrelated and synergistic, but also suicidal for civilization, was considered crackpot.
