Folks, if you have not yet become a member I strongly urge you to do so. All it costs is $35-00 annually, less than a hamburger a day. Without this we have no voice of opposition, voice of reason against the memberships of move on, the huffington post and many more. A volunteer voice is just that, a volunteer voice. A paid voice brings meaning and passion and ..........
Ten percent of your donation will go to a charity of your choice. We will eventually have some great bumper stickers and t shirts too. Imagine the possibilities.
Consider the following:
Our esteemed president has just rocketed the sales of dictators book to the number 2 spot on Amazon. The man, Hugo Chavez, hates America with passion, he called Bush the equivalent of a hitler. He calls for the destruction of the USA, he helps Iran with their missile systems and we know where they are aimed, he helps Russia. What good is this man for any free people? He wants to be a lifetime pres, and he has just nationalized almost every business in his country, and our president shakes his hand. See any resemblance with the reverend Wright church that Obama attended?
Freedom of speech. Do we still have it or is it controlled by the elite? You decide.
Miss America was asked a question about gay marriage and she answered that in her family it frowned on and that she believes that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. Should be free to say the, correct? She was not crowned.
Please do post your responses as it is important to all. This is your voice and your community board.
Fairness on taxes......you decide? Lary Summers.
This man is hazardous to us working Americans who believe in land love and libertry.
This man is a Democrat and keep in mind he earned $5m working only one day a week at a giant hedge fund. A true capitalist. Now he is an advisor to Obama and says that we should adopt to higher taxes. I suppose what was good for him was just that, god for him and no one else allowed, except of course the elite who want to tell us wjhat we may earn, may drive, etc.
Thanks for reading.

Stimulate We the People....OR we the politicians?
Who caused this?
How did we get here?
What is an economical stimulation that is beneficial to We the people vs We the politicians and we the banks?
Some history about stimulus packages and the destruction they have brought with them.
Folks, government intervention in the US economy did not begin in 1933 under Roosevelt. Government had intervened in the economy from the very beginning; the first economic act of Congress, July 1789 was a comprehensive protective tariff. Banks faced detailed federal and state regulations. Branch and interstate banking were forbidden. Free market banking did not exist and and the gold standard was limited.
The Federal Reserve was born in 1913 by the big banks and politicians who decided a more regulatory regime was needed to keep the economy on an even keel. So, the Federal Reserve Bank is a government sponsored banking cartel.
History tells us that the worst to date US depression occurred 15 years after the Fed bank opened. Now, if you are ignorant of history someone might guess that the Fed Reserve Bank was setup to to prevent a repeat of the Great Depression, but he/she would be wrong.
Ben Bernanke made a remark at the 90th birthday celebration of Milton Friedman saying: "Regarding the Great Depression, you're right. We did it. we are very sorry."
How did they do it?
The Great Depression was marred by the Fed's inflation of credit. This is what is being done right now folks.
During this time the money supply (we will do whatever it takes and costs) grew by 62%. This is the government printing money.
Folks, history shows that the inflation of the 1920s was actually over by the end of 1928 and therefore from that time onward a depression to adjust the economy was inevitable. Why inevitable? To understand this we must understand the role of interest rates in a free market. We the People prefer goods in the present to goods in the future. If you defer (put off till later) consumption you typically must be compensated. This role of compensation is called - interest rate!
This time preference (deferred consumption) can vary greatly. One person may be willing to lend at money at 5% while another may be willing to lend at 9%. This variance in interest rates emerges from competition among lenders and borrowers.
It is important that you understand this: Changes in interest rates absent from government intervention, signal real changes in peoples time preferences. Interest rates rise when you reduce your savings and buy more. Interest rates fall when when you (we the people) decide to defer (put off) buying and save more. This information tells producers and investors when and how to invest, long term short term It is during this critical transition and time signalling function that this process becomes severely damaged when the Fed's expands the money supply.
Looking back the Fed's inflated in the 1920s precisely to lower the rates below the FREE MARKET LEVEL. Since the signals created by the Fed's were false in the sense that they were not aligned with the consumers true time preferences producers and investors behaved differently than they would have in a free market. So, the 1920s boom - built on false expectations induced by the Fed's easy credit was unsustainable. With the Fed's inflation over by the end of 1928 the BUST was just a matter of time. The stock market crash of of 1929 left banks with unpaid loans and their shaky condition eroded confidence and set off bank runs. Companies failed, unemployment rose all because of the Fed's getting involved and not understanding a free market. See anything familiar here yet with the Fed's current intervention.......?
Folks, this might have been a one or two year depression.This failure of the banks, stock market crash and companies failing creating a tremendous contraction of money was something the Fed's created and facilitated.
The central bank had been established as a lender of last resort to the banking system, obviating the markets own solution to illiquidity.
So, folks, with banks failing etc., people held on to their money and reduced consumption which in turn left businesses without customers hence the second depression. The government really made things worse by aggressively interfering with the market correction.
History tells us that in previous depressions where the Fed's typically CUT SPENDING and TAXES and LET THE MARKET LIQUIDATE BAD INVESTMENTS. By applying this method those previous depressions were relatively brief.
Let's take a look at fmr. pres. Hoover. He moved quickly to raise government spending and taxes of all kinds. The top rate went from 24% to 63%. Banks were subsidized, rail roads industries, home owners with mortgages, local governments and farmers.
Hoover urged the nations governors to increase public-works spending and had the federal government join the effort. Hoover even pressured companies to not cut wages. Now folks, when wages are rigid while all other prices are falling, unemployment goes up."We might have done nothing " Hoover said. "That would have been utter ruin. Instead we meet the situation with proposals to private business and to Congress of the most gigantic program of economic defense and counter attack ever evolved in the history of the Republic." This was the Hoover New Deal. So folks, if interventionist economic theory were correct, Hoovers program should have been a smashing success and he would have been reelected.
Roosevelt became the president and he ran on a balanced budget, reduced government spending program. Well (we the politicians as always) changed tactics when he was elected. He raised taxes and spending to new heights and CONFISCATED THE PEOPLES GOLD.
His programs of the NEW DEAL is familiar, beginning with the fascistic National Recovery Administration (NRA) which cartelized the industry and this brought central planning to farming, banking and securities regulation incl the make work Civilian Conservation Corps.
This massive public works spending program helped Roosevelt politically but did little to employ those most desperately in need. Luckily the Supreme Court declared the NRA and public works programs unconstitutional. Thus began the 2nd New Deal which included Social Security, the National Labor Relations Act. Yet with all the government intervention and activism, the US economy, despite halting attempts at recovery, could not shake the Depression. In 1937 and 1938 the financial system went into an unprecedented secondary depression with a new stock market crash and unemployment climbing back over 20%. The New Deal further eroded banks, raised taxes, made hiring workers especially unskilled blacks, prohibitively expensive. Increased the price of most goods incl food and discouraged investment. Roosevelt really had no plan, instead he was a pragmatist ready to try anything, an approach that engendered stultifying uncertainty.
First, he mandated anti-competitive cartels; then he brought antitrust prosecutions against firms for monopolistic activity. Under these circumstances businesses were afraid to male long term investment plans.
What can we learn from all of this? That money is to important to be left to the state. One way or another, the government mismanagement of the monetary system wrecked the US economy. It is happening again folks. This is our money. The way it is supposed to be is "We the People and not We the politicians and government. The only permanent way to avoid a repetition is to place the system where it belongs; in the FREE MARKET.
Second, efforts to prevent liquidation of malinvestment caused by inflation bankrupt companies and only prolong economic agony. Bailouts are counterproductive.
Third, government stimulus spending, borrowing, taxation, and public works commandeer scarce private resources and prevent entrepreneurs from shifting them to investments aligned with consumer, not political preferences.
Fourth, individual liberty is at stake and is the first casualty when bureaucracy expands.
Remember, government cannot create wealth, it can only transfer it.
Pres. Obama has declared his intention to spend, NEW DEAL-STYLE, hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild infrastructure, modernize schools,and expand the broadband network. No matter how meritorious these projects, they do not constitute a genuine recovery program.
Post your comments as always and become a member. Folks, this is our country and we elect the politicians. We need to remember this. We need to stand up and take our country back. We need to do this for our children. we can become a force that will report roll over politicians and hold them responsible.

Did you know that woman is half a man....?
Woman, where is your outrage? I thought that you were all behind the cause of freeing woman around the globe. Turns out you aren't because the only rights issue you are worried about is the women's rights in the USA.
Well, in Iran, although you will never hear the American women's rights movement complain about it, turns out, ladies, that in Iran you are worth half a man. Yep, this is true!!! It is in Iran's Constitution.
If a woman who is pregnant gets killed in a car accident, Sharia law requires the guilty party in the other car to pay a full fine for the fetus and only half that for the woman. This carries through every aspect of Iranian society. Women can't own or dispose of property. If a women's husband dies, the family of the husband disposes of his estate. That's the contempt that awaits us if the Iranians have their way. In fact, they view the entire non-muslim world as worth even less than muslim women.
For 30 years we gave been negotiating, heck let's keep on doing it until we are all dead or forced to live under Sharia law.
Folks, this is America for goodness sake, the land of the brave and the land of the free. We are the last bastion of freedom. Let's fight for it and keep the torch of freedom alive.
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. Ronald Reagan

And we thought it was about oil....!
The muslims want you DEAD. This fight has never been about oil, although those in the media and other party members will tell you otherwise. We are fighting an IDEOLOGY. DEATH TO AMERICA!!! Click this link and watch in horror what happened in Mumbai, India and when you are done watching the video ask yourself if this attack is about oil or about killing westerners, that is you and me and your children?

Folks, we have been talking to the Iranians for years, over 30 to be exact. Their isn't an American president from Carter to the present that has not authorized negotiations with these madmen.
Case in point: During the Clinton era we ended all kinds of sanctions against Iran, let all kinds of Iranian's into the US for the first time since the 1970's, had sporting matches with them, hosted the Iranian cultural events, and unfroze the Iranian bank accounts. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
Then Clinton and Secretary of State, Albright started to PUBLICLY apologize to Iran for this and that. NOW, when all was said and done, the Ali Khamenei reminded everyone that Iran is in a state of war with the US and all negotiations ended.
Sound like history repeating itself....? This is an ideology war and nothing else. The muslims attitude is like a line from an old James Bond movie, Goldfinger. James Bond is spreadeagled on a sheet of gold, a laser beam is cutting through the gold sheet and about to slice him in half. Goldfinger, the actress is standing up on a balcony looking down at him. James Bond asks, "Goldfinger, what is this?" "Do you expect me to talk?" Goldfinger replies, "No, mr Bond, I expect you to die. " This is the attitude of the muslims.
By the way, the terrorists in Mumbai were seeking out holders of USA passports.

Obama already going back on his word
He has not even put his hand on the bible yet, and he is already going back on his campaign ideals. According to Nedra Pickler, of the Associated press, Obama has "relaxed" his stance on lobbyists. Once stating that "...once I am president, they [lobbyists] won't find a job in my white house," are now being told that they cannot lobby during the transition, and if they lobbyed within the past 12 months, they cannot lobby for the same cause once the transition is over.
You could come out and say that this blatent hypocrisy, which it is. Or you could say that he has lobbyists and a short rope, which he does, for now. Either way you look at it, it is a long way from having no lobbyists in the white house as he promissed during his campaign.
