The Big Blow UP: Inflation

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:07:49 PM

The Big Blow UP: Inflation


''As U.S. debt heads toward $14 trillion, the Fed will do its part, buying government bonds increasingly as others back away, with money it creates out of thin air. It amounts to a direct hit on the purchasing power of every dollar you own. Don't be surprised when, as gold and oil prices have done, consumer prices begin to take off. When a series of knockout blows are clearly telegraphed, smart people see them coming and do something about it.'' Not long after the State of the Union address, the Congress voted to substantially worsen that state, delivering a one-two punch directly at the value of the U.S. dollar. Not light jabs, but crippling body blows that will leave the prosperity of the American people reeling. The damage this combination of monetary and fiscal hits will do is being telegraphed in advance: first the monetary blow, as the Senate confirmed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for another four-year term; next the fiscal blow, as both the House and Senate approved another increase in the statutory national debt ceiling. The new limit, a debt increase on steroids, adds $1.9 trillion to bring the ceiling to $14.3 trillion, an amount roughly equal the U.S. gross domestic product.
When freshman Sen. Barack Obama said that a Bush debt-ceiling hike was a sign of "leadership failure," he was right. When Bush came into office the debt ceiling was less than $6 trillion dollars; it was $11.315 trillion when he went out the door. Bush presided over seven increases in eight years. In less than a full year of Obama's presidency, the debt ceiling was lifted twice. This new increase is his third.
Just the increase in the national debt under the joint leadership of Bush and Obama in the last two years is almost three times the entire federal debt accumulated between the nation's founding in 1776 and 1980.
The definitive expose on the Federal Reserve – get the eye-opening book "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve"
Because long-term increases in sensitive barometers like the global price of oil and gold are a reflection of the world's assessment of the prospects for the dollar, a referendum on the U.S. debt and America's fiscal irresponsibility, it should come as no surprise that under Bush and Obama, increases in the national debt ceiling have been a harbinger of higher gold and oil prices. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124496

The fallacy of 'fairness'

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:07:11 PM

The fallacy of 'fairness'


Is nature fair? How about God?

''Many people fail to see the fundamental difference between saying that a particular thing – whether a mental test or an institution – is conveying a difference that already exists or is creating a difference that would not exist otherwise.'' If there is ever a contest to pick which word has done the most damage to people's thinking, and to actions to carry out that thinking, my nomination would be the word "fair." It is a word thrown around by far more people than have ever bothered to even try to define it.
This mushy vagueness may be a big handicap in logic, but it is a big advantage in politics. All sorts of people, with very different notions about what is or is not fair, can be mobilized behind this nice-sounding word, in utter disregard of the fact that they mean very different things when they use it.
Some years ago, for example, there was a big outcry that various mental tests used for college admissions or for employment were biased and "unfair" to many individuals or groups. Fortunately, there was one voice of sanity – David Riesman, I believe – who said: "The tests are not unfair. LIFE is unfair and the tests measure the results."
If by "fair" you mean everyone having the same odds for achieving success, then life has never been anywhere close to being fair, anywhere or at any time. If you stop and think about it (however old-fashioned that may seem), it is hard even to conceive of how life could possibly be fair in that sense.
Even within the same family, among children born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, the first-borns on average have higher IQs than their brothers and sisters, and usually achieve more in life.
Unfairness is often blamed on somebody, even if only on "society." But whose fault is it if you were not the first born? Since some groups have more children than others, a higher percentage of the next generation will be first-borns in groups that have smaller families, so such groups have an advantage over other groups.
Despite all the sound and fury generated in controversies over whether different groups have different genetic potential, even if they all have identical genetic potential the outcomes can still differ if they have different birth rates.
Twins have average IQs several points lower than children born singly. Whether that is due to having to share resources in the womb or having to share parents' attention after birth, the fact is what it is – and it certainly is not fair. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124554

A different kind of pro-life battle

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:06:14 PM

A different kind of pro-life battle


''I had to share what I've found out – because most everybody knows someone with cancer and this might just be a treatment that God can use to save their life.'' Some of you may have noticed that I've been on the sidelines of the cultural war for a few weeks. It's true – I've had to "focus on the family" and practice being pro-life. You see, a few weeks ago, my father was diagnosed with cancer. Two doctors gave him six months to live. But, as radio listener "Lucy from Tennessee" wrote me, Christ has a big "C," cancer has a small "c."
Psalm 91 is hanging in my house, and the last verse, verse 16, jumped out to me: "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." So I took that verse with about 40 others (search "healing verses" at f2a.org) such as Psalm 103 (which declares that that the Lord "heals ALL our diseases") and started lifting my father up to my Heavenly Father. If you're a Christian who believes that God is the same today as He was yesterday when He was raising people from the dead, please join me in praying!
Then, as I began my research in how to fight this disease, I discovered that we haven't done so well in the traditional methods of treatment. If you don't believe me, the question to ask a doctor is "What is the success rate or the statistical average of survival for this treatment?" What you'll find is "standard" torturous treatments often offer an average life extension of only a few months. Yet, I know others whose cancer is in "full remission" after traditional treatment.
Then, God put people in my path like my friend Ramona, who fought cancer for seven years and is now 10 years cancer-free. She recommended a book that I have highlighted, underlined and dog-eared like few others. It's called "Knockout – Interviews with Doctors who are Curing Cancer" by Suzanne Somers. Yes, that Suzanne Somers. I'm not a fan of her contribution to the culture in the 1970s, but she's certainly a far cry from the "dumb blonde" she played on TV, and I commend her courageous work now. If you know someone with cancer, buy this book.
Is your doctor well-informed? Read "What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You"
I discovered that there is literally an entire underground world of people who are being cured of cancer! I went to one of their clandestine meetings where they talked of nutrition and enzymes, Tijuana and alternative treatments. I learned that sugar is like gasoline to the fire of cancer and that sugar is in nearly everything we buy. They exposed that the FDA has allowed our food to be genetically altered – something animals go out of their way to avoid in studies, and something that kills them when they eat it. That's the stuff we're now being fed.
So I purchased the costly cancer-killing enzymes and shopped at the organic health-food store, and for the first time in my life paid more than $300 for groceries. I've always known that being pro-life had a cost.
But we still needed to decide on a treatment. Here's a question that helped me with my recommendation: If your body was the United States and you had a serial killer in Detroit, would you nuke the entire city of Detroit? That's how radiation seems to me – nuking the good along with the bad. Would you poison their drinking water? This one seems more like chemotherapy – poisoning the good along with the bad. Or would you go after the serial killer alone? http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124485

Liberal's lashing out beats accountability

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 10:31:35 AM

Liberal's lashing out beats accountability


''On abortion, liberals refuse to consider mounting scientific evidence that the unborn are live human beings (as if further evidence were needed to confirm what we already know), because it forces them into moral accountability. Instead, they falsely declare the matter unknowable and, worse, try to co-opt the moral high ground as champions of women's rights while condemning their life-advocating opponents as bigots.''

Conservatives understand that liberals often demonize their opponents rather than debate the merits of the issues because the tactic works. But you have to wonder whether another reason they lash out is that they are angry that reality doesn't cooperate with their ideologically driven solutions, and it's easier to blame others than to face up to the unpleasant truth of their failed ideas.
It's not just the tirades of liberal talk show host Ed Schultz, who said he would cheat to keep Scott Brown from winning his Senate election, or Chris Matthews, who said Republicans indoctrinate their members in the same way Cambodian communists re-educated their subjects, or the nasty outbursts of presidential adviser Rahm Emanuel.
I was also reminded of this, on a subtler level, when reading a Washington Post piece on David Plouffe, Barack Obama's presidential campaign manager, who recently returned to the Obama camp to quarterback the Democrats' election efforts in 2010 and beyond.
Plouffe said: "Politics is a comparative exercise. This isn't just a referendum on Democrats. ... It's a choice. ... Republicans right now are just sitting back and slinging arrows. We need to ... shine some light over their side of the fence."
How can you counter the liberal corrosion that has filtered into every issue affecting our daily lives? Find out in Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto"
Plouffe said he would remind voters that Democrats have spent two years trying to fix problems, whereas Republicans want to wheel a "Trojan horse" into Washington and spill out bankers and health insurance executives. Sure, why not vilify bankers and insurers when it helps your guy avoid accountability for his policies?
It's shamelessly Machiavellian of Democrats to accuse the GOP of going negative, when Democrats use Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" (e.g., "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it") as an instruction manual. But hey, they're out of fresh ideas, so what other choice do they have? http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124550

The violence continues in Mexico

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 10:30:52 AM

The violence continues in Mexico


He was a good looking chap,
until he fell in love with money.

''The victim’s torso, in a plastic container was found in one location. The legs, arms and skull were inside a box at another location. The victim’s face, however, had been removed from the skull, sewn onto a soccer ball, and placed in a plastic bag by the City Hall.'' The narco-cartel violence continues unabated in Mexico, in fact, it’s going from bad to worse.
Universal, Mexico’s paper of record, does a detailed job of keeping a running tally of the carnage.
Universal reported that, as of February 3rd, 2010, the death count in the drug wars had already passed 1000. Yes, you read that right. In a little over a month 1015 had been killed.
On average, that’s a killing every 48 minutes.
Universal´s statistics of the past five years show the situation getting worse by the year.
In 2005, the 1000th death mark was reached on September 11th. In 2006 it was June 30th. In 2007 it was May 14th. In 2008 the 1000th death was reached on April 22nd. Last year, it was reached on February 20th. Now this year it was February 3rd.
You notice that it’s earlier each year.
To put it another way, this year it’s only taken 34 days to kill as many people as were killed in a 254-day period in 2005.
Thus far in 2010, the day with the most killings was January 9th, in which 69 persons perished in the narco-carnage. On January 31st, 57 were killed, on the 20th it was 53, on the12th it was 44 and on February 3rd it was 25 killed. On January 1st, New Year’s Day, 37 were killed. http://www.newswithviews.com/Wall/allan126.htm

Mistreatment of men is the new American sport

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 10:30:03 AM

Mistreatment of men is the new American sport


''The typical grade-school boy will ask himself, after absorbing these misandrist images and messages, Is this how a man is supposed to behave — with a watermelon under his shirt, with no shred of testosterone? Is it now OK to slap daddy in the face when I’m angry? A man is not allowed to hit anybody, but everybody is allowed to hit him. I don’t want to be a man when I grow up.'' Our society has sunk to a new low. Six years ago, during the halftime show of Super Bowl 38, the world went berserk when Janet Jackson exposed her nipple to Justin Timberlake and all of TV-land. Yesterday, however, during Super Bowl 44, when a young boy slapped a man’s face in a Doritos commercial, the same world reacted with laughter and approval.
Hitting men with impunity is the new American sport. Just ask Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods’s wife, who hit her husband and chased him with a golf club that she wielded to smash his car window — a feat that would landed any man in jail. Just ask Mary J. Blige, who punched her husband in the face, in full view of nightclub witnesses — a feat that would have landed any man in jail.
Doritos pulled a similar misandrist stunt in Super Bowl 43, as I illustrated to Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, when it’s high-priced spot featured one man hurling a snowglobe at the crotch of another. If you laughed at that one, too, you demonstrated your pure disregard for men.
If all of this is so funny, reverse the genders and run the same commercials again. Let’s all have a big laugh. What network, agency, and advertiser pinheads are greenlighting these anti-male commercials? Send me their names; I will publish them.
Woman Is the New Man
It’s widely known that the epidemic of teens becoming pregnant, using drugs, dropping out of school, and joining gangs stems from weak or nonexistent dads. No worry — Madison Avenue has a brilliant solution: weaken fathers at every turn; emasculate men and subordinate them to domineering women. Inequality is the new equality. Woman is the new man. http://www.newswithviews.com/Rudov/marc135.htm

Christian speech targeted as 'hate'

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 10:29:18 AM

Christian speech targeted as 'hate'


Is alcoholism hopeless?

''The sole purpose of this law is to criminalize the Bible and use the threat of federal prosecutions and long jail sentences to silence Christians from expressing their biblically-based religious belief that homosexual conduct is a sin. It elevates those persons who engage in deviant sexual behaviors, including pedophiles, to a special protected class of persons as a matter of federal law and policy''

A campaign has been launched in Montgomery County, Md., to classify the speech of advocates for people who choose to leave the homosexual lifestyle as "hate speech," which then could be banned under a new law signed last year by President Obama.
"Hate speech is unwelcome in Montgomery County Public Schools," said an e-mail to the offices of Regina Griggs, national director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays, known as PFOX. "I would like to ask that you immediately cease distribution of your flyers at our public schools.
"We intend to pursue every method possible to protest your actions if you choose to continue," the message warned. The conflict was sparked by competing flyers distributed recently to public school students, one from PFOX and the other from the homosexual-rights group PFLAG, or Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
The PFLAG flyer said if "homosexual" students can't talk to their family members, "there are still people you can talk to."
"Back Fired," by William J. Federer, shows how the faith that gave birth to tolerance is no longer tolerated!
The homosexual-rights group told the students, "Some religions still condemn homosexuality, but others are completely affirming. … Metro DC PFLAG can refer you to information specific to your own religion, including local gay-friend congregations.
"People who are gay, lesbian or another minority sexual orientation are part of the normal range of humanity," the flyer said.
WND has reported on Obama's "hate crimes" plan, which was adopted by Congress after Democrats piggy-backed it onto a defense appropriations bill.
The law was targeted just days ago by a lawsuit alleging it violates the civil rights of Christians and pastors, who according to the complaint now can become the target of federal investigations, grand juries and even charges for no more than opposing the activism of homosexuals. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124553

Satan widely viewed at Super Bowl

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:43:47 AM

Satan widely viewed at Super Bowl


''Players "make an unholy pact and sell their soul to Satan in exchange for power" with the object of the game being to ensure the resurrection of Satan and obtain his power''

The Super Bowl ad claimed, "Hell awaits," and players who fire up "Dante's Inferno" on their Xbox 360 can dive right in to slay all sorts of demons and dark lords to save the girl from Satan's grasp.
There's even a level where players can take on knife-wielding unbaptized babies. Kill enough of them, and players will unlock an "achievement" called the "Bad Nanny" award.
The anticipated new release from video game maker Electronic Arts is only one of several console games to recently make a list of eight devilish titles compiled by Lance Christian of Alton, Ill., and reported by Susan Brinkmann of the Catholic group Living His Life Abundantly in a blog post titled "Gaming for Satan."
"This has been going on for the last 10 years, but especially in the most recent games," said Christian of the satanic trend in gaming. "It wasn't until last month when I said, 'enough is enough!' I'm a gamer, but I'm deep into my faith and I think God is showing me this so I can make other people aware of it."
"Dante's Inferno" came in No. 7 on Christian's list, but it was the only one to get the multi-million-dollar exposure of advertising during the Super Bowl.
Why have Americans have come to tolerate, embrace and even champion many things that would have horrified their parents' generation? Get David Kupelian's "The Marketing of Evil" at the WND Superstore.
The ad almost didn't make the airwaves, however, when CBS rejected it for concluding with the tagline, "Go to h---." After Electronic Arts changed the final phrase to "Hell awaits," however, it got the nod. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124490

Frank Rich - mindless NYT yapper

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:42:45 AM

Frank Rich - mindless NYT yapper


Frank Rich spews, fulminates, verbiates and huffs every Sunday in the New York Times. His column is idea-free, but his readers want catharsis, not ideas.

''It is commonplace for liberals and leftists to avoid refuting conservative arguments and just dismiss the conservative with one of seven epithets: "Racist," "Bigoted," "Sexist," "Intolerant," and the three phobias: "Homophobic," Xenophobic," "Islamaphobic."'' If one had to read one columnist to appreciate the state of contemporary left-wing commentary, my nomination would be Frank Rich of the Sunday New York Times.
No well-known leftist columnist better exemplifies the worst aspects of today's left. Virtually every piece is filled with anger, filled with ad hominem responses to arguments, filled with insults of opponents and at the same time devoid of intellectual arguments. A Frank Rich column is essentially a weekly tantrum meant to make his readers nod in agreement and reinforce their contempt for those who differ with them.
I offer this past Sunday's column as an example.
The subject was the "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding gays in the military.
The shocking truth about the world's most prestigious newspaper – read "Journalistic Fraud: How the New York Times Distorts the News and Why It can no Longer be Trusted"
Not a single serious argument of proponents of DADT was cited, nor did Rich did offer a single argument on behalf of repealing it. Instead, the article was a smear of all supporters of that policy or of retaining the male-female definition of marriage. The article contains 71 sentences. Twelve sentences contained an insult. I suspect that Times readers who love his columns – this was listed as the second most e-mailed piece in the New York Times – are generally people who read Frank Rich so as to have their hatreds reinforced, not for cogent arguments.
The article's title is, appropriately, an insult: "Smoke the bigots out of the closet."
It is commonplace for liberals and leftists to avoid refuting conservative arguments and just dismiss the conservative with one of seven epithets: "Racist," "Bigoted," "Sexist," "Intolerant," and the three phobias: "Homophobic," Xenophobic," "Islamaphobic."
Such ad hominem dismissals of conservatives and their arguments testify to the shallowness of those using these terms, meaning, unfortunately, most mainstream commentators and spokesmen on the left. The fact is that epithets substitute for thought – and at the same time render it easy to write a left-wing column. It is the Frank Rich Formula: Make believe the other side has no thoughtful argument, offer no argument of your own and debase your opponents.
Some examples from just this one column: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124575

Didn't Katie Couric ever learn to share?

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:42:10 AM

Didn't Katie Couric ever learn to share?


''Drudge also reports that Couric's one-time predecessor, Dan Rather, called on President Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press. Tears were in Rather's eyes as he discussed the dwindling number of war correspondents.''

America is still known as "The Land of Opportunity."
And this made me wonder why CBS' anchor lady, Katie Couric, has not, reportedly, offered to share some of her income to save dozens of her fellow CBS employees – whom the New York Observer and the New York Post, among others, reported are being laid off.
Ms. Couric, reports Drudge, is, instead of any such helping of her fellow employees, facing "a dramatic pay cut at the network."
But the New York Times quoted CBS News President Sean McManus denying any such Couric pay cut.
The Drudge Report noted that she is "the highest-paid TV news personality in history" and "commands over $14 million a year, plus bumps for non-evening news appearances."
Think about that.
The sum $14 million equals, for a 40-hour week, $70,500 an hour; $1,175 a minute; and $19 per second!
Drudge quoted what he identified only as "a veteran producer," who declared:
"She makes enough to pay 200 reporters $75,000 a year! We report with great enthusiasm how much bankers are making, how it is out of step with reality during a recession. Well, look at Katie!" http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124489

Politics: The Art of the Lie

Posted by Corthell on Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:38:34 AM

Politics: The Art of the Lie


''It’s not a lie if you believe it’s true.
If you believe it is false then it's the art of compromise.''
--Average Politico

''Bill Clinton uttered one of the most famous political lies of a all time: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” We learned then, for politicians, it depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is, when a lie is being investigated.'' When my children were growing up I could usually tell when they were lying to me. A subtle fidget, a flicker of the eyes or the pitch of their voice would give them away.
That’s because they were taught from the start that lying was wrong. My wife and I drummed it into them, and they believed it. Since they knew what they were doing was wrong it was difficult for them to pull it off.
I’ve always been pretty good at spotting liars. Not as good as Dr. Cal Lightman from the Fox show Lie to Me; but pretty good. It was a gift that served me well as a reporter.
Of course it’s a lot easier to spot a lying politician today than it used to be. How do you know they’re lying? It’s cliché, but, it’s when their lips are moving.
Did you watch any of the President Barack Obama’s recent State of the Union address? I tried counting his lies but within about 15 minutes I ran out of fingers and toes. No matter, his life is a lie—from his sham birth certificate to his autobiography to his campaign promises to his pledges as President. But the amazing thing is that he does it so effortlessly. And he’s so good at it he’d probably get away with it if those nasty facts didn’t keep getting in the way.
He promised transparency during his campaign, but does everything behind closed doors. He promised healthcare negotiations on C-Span. But negotiations are done in secret. He promised everyone they could keep their doctor, but the public option would end that. He says if someone has another idea he’ll listen, but he shuts dissenters out of the process. He says the Supreme Court overturned 100 years of law, but Justice Samuel Alito says, “Not true.” http://www.personalliberty.com/personal-liberty-articles/the-art-of-the-lie/

Muslim Brotherhood carrying out domination strategy in U.S.

Posted by Corthell on Monday, February 08, 2010 3:40:06 PM

Muslim Brotherhood carrying out domination strategy in U.S.


CAIR headquarters in Washington

"If you don't believe the Brotherhood has been effective at neutralizing some church groups and public advocacy groups, look at this. Common Cause and Hartford Seminary support the Islamic Society of North America. The National Council of Churches and the American Baptist Churches do too," he said.''
An expert on the advance of radical Islam in the United States says the Muslim Brotherhood is effectively employing a strategy of presenting "Islam lite" to organizations, including Christian churches.
Dorothy Cutter, coordinator for the Hartford, Conn., chapter of Aglow Islamic Awareness, part of a national chain of Christian fellowships that study how Islamic law motivates Muslims to participate in jihad, said she heard of a United Church of Christ congregation where an Islamic speaker was a guest.
She contacted the church to see if she would be allowed to present some of the harsher truths about Islam.
"The pastor pushed the material back at me and said, 'It's people like you who are responsible for an escalation of the violence,'" Cutter said.
Cutter said organizations such as Hartford Seminary are sending imams "to condition members of the area churches to believe the light version of Islam."
Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project for Terrorism, concurred.
"Hartford Seminary is a place that has been compromised by the Muslim Brotherhood, and then there's the Center for Christian and Muslim Understanding at Georgetown University. The center is a de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood," Emerson said.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the Sunni transnational movement founded in Egypt in 1928 that has spawned most of the major terrorist movements in the world, including al-Qaida and Hamas. It's aim is to make Islamic law supreme over the world. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124173

Defeat every liberal in Congress

Posted by Corthell on Monday, February 08, 2010 3:39:16 PM

Defeat every liberal in Congress


''We need someone to challenge Maxine Waters. How long did this Castro-loving Congresscritter think American patriots would put up with her false charges that "AIDS was created by the CIA to kill black people" when she supports the abortion genocide, which is the leading cause of death in the black community?''

This is the year. We are the People. Generations of leftist leaders have bankrupted the government, poisoned our culture, turned a free press into government propaganda and divided the American people. Election 2010 is judgment day for the left.
Like an avalanche that starts with a single dislodged pebble, the tea-party phenomenon started in spring of 2009 with small spontaneous demonstrations in a few cities and towns against President Obama's sweeping intent to "transform America."
The demonstrations sparked a prairie fire of opposition to a president who borrowed nearly a trillion dollars to create jobs during a recession caused by too much borrowing, who branded your exhaled breath (CO2) a "pollutant," who wanted government to decide your health care, who filled the federal government with Marxist "czars" and who took a bank bailout and transformed it into Government Motors.
Dismissed by the lapdog Obama media, ordinary everyday American patriots turned the usually placid congressional summer recess into a political hell of town-hall confrontations for Congress members who were certain they knew better than we did how to spend the money we earn and, worse yet, how to spend the money not yet earned by generations of Americans not yet born.
Today, that avalanche, that prairie fire has swept the nation. The Scott Brown victory for the "Kennedy seat" in the U.S. Senate is the biggest political defeat for the political ruling class since the election of Ronald Reagan.
Have you seen our Tea Party Store? Everything you need to express your outrage with the Obama Socialist Express
But it's only one seat. There are "Scott Browns" in every state, in every congressional district challenging incumbents of both parties. We the People want our Constitution respected, our opportunity economy restored. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=124440
