Doug, over at Daley Gator named Democrat Congressman John Larsen “weasel of the day” yesterday. I think he earned it. Here is why… Via Forbes: When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) was being debated, proponents were accused of saddling Americans with inferior and expensive health care while keeping generous coverage for themselves at taxpayer expense. To rebut that allegation and build confidence in the bill, a provision was added mandating that members of Congress – and their staff members – get their coverage through the new exchange system the bill set up. Now that the time to sign [...]

Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady, Dead at Age 87
Margaret Thatcher, the so called “Iron Lady,” had passed away at age 87. The UK’s first female prime minister, she was in power at a pivotal time in the UK’s history, restoring the economy and international prestige of her nation. She was seen as a partner with Ronald Reagan in confronting Soviet Communism, winning her the title, “Iron Lady,” from the Soviet Press.

Itinerant Preacher Abandons Class Struggle
Ye Old New York Times. All the news that’s fit for socialism Dateline, Jerusalem. 33 A.D. Ye Olde New Yorke Times An itinerant preacher by the name of Jesus abandoned all efforts to raise the standard of living of Judea’s poor by going back to his father. Jesus was subject to the death penalty over the weekend for repeatedly calling for those in the Roman occupation to provide jobs and training for the oppressed Palestinians. We here at Ye Olde New Yorke Times have been following Jesus’ career closely from the first moment he burst onto the scene. allying himself [...]
What Recovery? Part III: Freedom and Innovation to the Rescue?
In Part I of this “What Recovery?” series, we examined the concept of the velocity of money and how it has been declining for over two decades, which explains why most Americans are not experiencing the economic recovery that technically began in 2009. Then, in Part II, we saw how systemically high unemployment is a factor of US companies having to compete with the lower costs in emerging nations and how our Nanny Government’s fiscal policies make the situation even worse. Today, we are going to see what well-known libertarian writer, Gary North, thinks. He sees all of what we [...]

Taking America Back One Bit At A Time: Part 5, Looking Beyond December 2012
Earlier posts in this series can be found here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, ans Part 4. Looking Beyond December 2012 In Part 4, The Taking of America continued, we arrived at the current point in time, December 2012. The movement to convert America into a socialist state has, after 100 years, nearly completed their mission. Barak Obama was elected in 2008 after the financial crisis. In four years his administration added $5 trillion to our national debt, which now stands at over $16 trillion and growing. In 2009, President Obama asked for and got an $800 billion stimulus [...]
Twinkie the Kid on Life Support: Bakers Union Poised to Shutter Hostess Permanently
Over the last year, we’ve covered the fact that Twinkie the Kid is on life support. The Hostess company required a new agreement from the Baker’s Union to get bankruptcy protection. Unfortunately, several hundred of the Bakers chose to fire themselves this week, closing three facilities permanently. Apparently, the rest of the Bakers seem intent on putting themselves, and all other employees, out of work. Mish’s Global economic Trend Analysis has the rest… It’s do or die for 18,000 Hostess workers including 5,000 in the bakers’ union. Hostess, the maker of Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, Ho-Ho’s, and Wonder Bread has given the union a firm order [...]
Cartoon 60 Years Ahead of Its Time
Make Mine Freedom (1948) is a post WWII cartoon that is alarmingly relevant given the political climate of today. This little gem really sums up the evils of “ism,” a generic term used to represent Communism, Marxism and Progressivism. Another ironic point in the cartoon is the idea of drinking the KoolAid, because the “ism” in the film is represented by a tonic being peddled by a “Dr. Yoo-Topia.” Do yourself a favor and take 10 minutes to watch this film. Then forward it to as many people as you can. Related posts: 100 Years of Trying- Communism Wins in [...]
Obama Supported Redistribution in 1998: He Still Does
Take a look at this video from Breitbart TV… Sounds like the typical socialist/communist propaganda to me. And, my friends, redistribution of wealth is a core concept in communism. What intersts me is that he mentions a “propaganda” program to discredit that government intervention. Um, that is more of what we would like to call “reality.” The “War on Poverty” created more poor people. The Department of Education made education worse, not to mention way more expensive. The Porkulus failed to lower unemployment, and, in fact, didn’t prevent it from rising. Come to think of it, there were billions of porkulus [...]
NY Times Laments the “Downside of Liberty”
It seems that dedicated leftists have a weakness-they cannot resist bashing the entire country, as well as it’s underpinnings, on Independence Day. The NY Times had to join the fray by publishing the following, via GateWay Pundit… On Independence Day the New York Times published “the Downside of Liberty” today. If only we were a socialist state. The New York Times reported: THIS spring I was on a panel at the Woodstock Writers Festival. An audience member asked a question: Why had the revolution dreamed up in the late 1960s mostly been won on the social and cultural fronts — women’s rights, gay [...]

Useful Idiot of the Month Nomination Thread: May 2012
Once again, it is time to nominate a field of worthy nominees for the Useful Idiot of the Month. I’m sure that the readers will have no problems finding a set of nominees for the cause. For those of you who may no be familiar with the concept, a useful idiot is a person or group who, knowingly or not, helps advanced the cause of Marxism/Socialism is a Western country.

Occupy Update: Occupy Phoenix Advocates Forced Labor
I’ve been saying all along that the occupy movement is a microcosm of it’s desired socialist/communist state. And sometimes, they are very honest about their intent. OWS Exposed has a video… It has all the hallmarks of the old Soviet state; show trials, forced confessions, and then, forced labor (read-Gulags). Of course, the verdicts will be decided before any trials begin. Then, people will be beaten, tortured, or otherwise coerced into signing “confessions.” Then, they will sent off to do their forced labor. When they never return (having been murdered) they will never be mentioned again. These occupods will deny [...]

Re-Redefining Conservatism
Remember when Bush came into office with his “compassionate conservative” slogan? Remember how that translated? Compassionate conservatism was Bush’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m for capitalism, but only up to a certain point, then I’m for socialism”. In politics, this is a “playing the whole field” approach. It appeases moderates who want to hear milquetoast language, liberals who want the social net, and conservatives who aren’t paying attention (hey, conservatism is in the name, it must be good). Now Romney, who plays center field with the range of Willie Mays, ran into a criticism after he said that he “didn’t care [...]
Ed Schultz Asks for More Bias: References “Fairness Doctrine”
Ed Schultz asked for bias in media. Look at this, via Moonbattery. Yes, I am aware that the clip is from last year. I also know that the leftists were after gun control, but didn’t push until they had dead children to exploit. In other words, the left will tell you what they want, but they might use a soft tone until they see their chance to strike. Remember, all totalitarian regimes always move to control the free flow of information. And they use all sorts of ways to justify it. In this case, they are neglecting that more people [...]
Classic Conservative Hideout: Third Party?
With so much apparent dissatisfaction with the current slate of GOP candidates, and with many of the Tea Party supported Congressmen going native in the unreality bubble, I’ve heard more talk of a third party. I did present both sides of this back in July of 2009, so I thought I might present that again, and see how the debate unfolds. The post was purposely written to be neutral, so the debate is the key. So, here is that post, published in it’s entirety. I have to admit that over the last several years, I have been torn about whether or not [...]
The Story of the First Thanksgiving 2011
This is the annual CH 2.0 re-telling of the true story of the first Thanksgiving. Given the type of society advocated by OWS, this story is more relevant today than ever. I heard this story years ago, so I thought I’d post it. The official story has the pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620-21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and tenacious, and they learn new farming techniques from the Indians. The harvest of 1621 is bountiful. The Pilgrims hold [...]
Occupy Wall Street: Are the Occupiers Learning that the "Collective" is Oppressive?
It seems that the Occupy Wall Street effort has a money problem-they are sitting on about $500,000! Also, this surplus is being controlled by a few, and the rest are not all that happy with what the few are doing with it… According to the New York Post, OWS has deposited five hundred thousand dollars into an account and is using the money to fund the daily operations in Lower Manhattan. They also have physical assets substantial enough to require significant storage space. CBS News reports that the protesters are filling a large storage space around the corner from the park they occupy. “They’ve [...]

Gridlock: It's not a Flaw, It's a Feature
The pundits often complain of gridlock, and how government cannot get anything “done” for the people. While we would certainly argue that what is often done does little more than make matters worse, but that isn’t exactly today’s topic matter. What we are really talking about is the fact that our Founders planned for, and sought to prevent rapid, sweeping changes to government and society. The American Prospect, a regressive publication, t has a rather interesting article on the subject, and unintentionally makes many points for us… Washington has ground to a halt, paralyzed by a political division deeper than [...]
U.S. Day of Rage planned to take place on Constitution Day
Well the leftists are at it again. They’re putting on their class warfare game face and heading to the “Big Apple” on 9-17-11 (Constitution Day) to participate in what they are calling a U.S. Day of Rage. Ahhhh good times. I discovered this article over at one of my daily stops Maggie’s Notebook. As I clicked through the links I was stunned to see just how misguided these useful idiots are over at the U.S. Day of Rage website. I recalled an article from a few months ago I read over at Moonbattery about Steve Lerner’s plan to create economic uncertainty in America by [...]
Why Hope can Kill the Progressive Agenda
President Obama used “Hope” as a slogan during his 2008 election campaign. While we would argue that “hope” has nothing to do with Obama’s policies, there is a different context for it. The progressive agenda has nothing to do with hope; it is a proposal for a control mechanism, nothing more. Health care for all? Not necessarily. CONTROL of healthcare? Absolutely! Financial reform? Not so much. CONTROL of the financial sector? Yes! Cap and Trade saving the planet? Not even close. Massive redistribution program? YES! I could go on and on, but I think the point is made. If there is [...]
Remember When Commies Were Called Reds? Now Their Favorite Color Is Green
To me the words communist and socialist and liberals and progressives are interchangeable. Most progressives/liberals are offended when referred to as socialist and even more so when referred to as communist. I don’t do it to offend those on the left. I do it because there is no other end for their agenda than extreme socialism or communism. In this day and age, their agenda is not for the state to take over all means of production via expropriations, ala Chavez, but to gain effective control of the means of production through regulatory law and crony socialism. Yes “crony socialism” and not [...]
Tea Party Group Protests NAACP Convention
This past Sunday, a Tea Party group protested the NAACP Convention. That statement alone should have brought forth the MSM in force to invent some “Tea Party Racism,” right? Where were the network cameras, leftist infiltrators holding racist signs, and slanted coverage? Nowhere to be found, and with good reason. For, you see, this Tea Party group would NEVER fit the leftist narrative, so they were ignored. The reason? You’ll understand in just a moment… There is no way on God’s green Earth that the MSM will ever give this group any fair coverage, if any at all. And [...]
They’ve Won

If you think I’m stretching the truth or off the mark take a look at their list for yourself. “Nationalization of our natural resources, beginning with the coal mines and water sites, particularly at [...]
Screwing Everyone Equally: Socialism Explained
Hey kids, here’s Matt with another example of how learning can be fun… And how is this in action right now? Businesses know that Obama has more taxes in mind, so they aren’t sure exactly how much they will be penalized for being successful, or even trying, so they aren’t hiring or expanding. When you get zapped for trying, why try? Aren’t we seeing that now? Businesses aren’t willing to take the risk when there is less chance of reward. It’s happening right now, and will only get worse. History also teaches us that this happens. For a homegrown example, here is [...]
And While we were Celebrating Independence Day…

Apocalypse Now!
“Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest” – Napoleon Bonaparte In 1970 a movement gained traction where it had been building up power for some time. It was then that the environmental movement became more than a fringe segment of the social populous. Their pushes in the 60’s finally brought fruit, and that fruit would be handed out generously in campuses, legislatures, and businesses across the country (all without pesticides). There were some rightful motions set in place during this time such as pollution fines for corporations, but not all were so legitimate. Climate change, for [...]
The "Arab Spring" and what History Teaches us
In my humble opinion, one of the greatest lessons of history is to always listen to what leaders, influential people, or movements are saying. Too many times, people have ignored warnings of what is to come. Out of naivete, misplaced hope, or cowardly indifference, they cast logic and evidence aside. Then, when the proverbial fecal matter hits the fan, these same people are shocked and appalled that the others actually DID what they SAID they were GOING to DO. The most notable example, of course, is the rise of Nazi Germany, and the contents of Mein Kampf. However, we are [...]
Beck wins Again: Socialist Admits Cooperation with Muslim Brotherhood in "Arab Spring"
Remember how the left snickered when Beck suggested that socialists and Islamic radicals were cooperating in the “Arab Spring?” Here is a video I found at the blog of our good friend, the Mind Numbed Robot. http://youtu.be/PdI0A1KLKmM Did you note the intent against Israel, and the socialist jargon that is thrown in? Here is something I wrote on this situation last week. On the surface, it would seem that this union, made in the lowest pits of hell, might be mutually exploitative, with each side using the other as useful idiots. However, there might be another way to look at it. Both Islam and Marxism [...]
Classic Conservative Hideout: Individual Rights Vs. The Collective
When we speak about the rights of the individual, we are saying something very different than the left’s view of the topic. Our founders carefully crafted a Constitution that is designed to protect us from the excesses of government. However, a sufficient percentage of the people have not guarded those rights against government intrusion, until just recently. Those excesses are readily apparent in our country today: federal control of education, health care, environmental law, interference with personal property rights, and a litany of others, all in violation of the spirit of the Constitution and it’s writers, interfere with the everyday [...]
Who Indoctrinates the Indoctrinators? Teachers Required to Think Socialist to Get Degrees
In light of the renewed focus on public education, courtesy of the current public union mess, I thought it might be a good idea to take another look at how teachers are trained. Here is a post from December of 2009. The People’s Republic of China generally makes no distinction between education and propaganda or indoctrination. All three share the common task of changing man. The agencies of education, indoctrination, and propaganda are legion—newspapers, posters, and propaganda leaflets, neighbourhood gatherings for the study of current events, as well as political rallies, parades, and many forms of “mass campaigns” under careful direction. It [...]
Christian Socialism/Social Justice Explained
Social Justice…AKA: Socialism, has been creeping into our institutions for decades now. Of particular interest to me is how this concept has been impacting our churches. Considering the fact that socialism is antithetical to Christianity, it should be a matter of concern for all of us. The Other McCain has a great post on that very issue… “Christian Socialism, as it has taken root in the last few decades among countless followers of all Christian churches, is merely a variety of State Socialism. … Agriculture and handicraft, with perhaps small shopkeeping, are the only admissible occupations. Trade and speculation are superfluous, injurious, and evil. [...]

Video: The Responsiblities of American Citizenship
I discovered this video on YouTube and found it so interesting that I felt it was post worthy. Professor Clifton L. Ganus lectures on the responsibilities of American citizenship and explains what is required of each citizen to preserve the republic. This video is a bit dated, but it’s extremely relevant to the current national conversation we’re having today about socialism and communism,. As we witness firsthand the failures of socialism in Europe and South America now more than ever we need to have a national conversation on the merits of these flawed ideologies. Back in 1955 they appeared [...]
The Speak Truth Curriculum- Taxpayer Supported Leftist Indoctrination of Innocent Students?
Big Government reports about a new human rights curriculum that was recently introduced to middle schools and high schools all across New York. So this is what your tax money goes to- this controversial curriculum that promotes leftists values was funded and designed by the taxpayer-supported Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights and the teacher-dues supported New York State United Teachers union. These two groups came together and used precious education resources to create lesson plans for teachers that focus on corporate “greed,” landmine awareness, Chinese labor camps, and abolishing the death penalty. The general agenda of [...]

And WE'RE the Violent Ones Revisited: Communists Openly Call for Revolution-UPDATED
Earlier this month, we covered that Ted Rall, hack cartoonist, advocated for revolution, both in a book, and on MSNBC. Of course, the host of the show agreed, but that should surprise no one. As has been noted extensively, the left has been trying very hard to push the narrative that Conservatives are a violent and destructive bunch. They’ve pushed it consistently, in spite of the fact that the political violence has consistently come from the left. And all the while, there are a growing number of voices on the left that are calling for violent revolution. The latest comes [...]

Conservative Hideout Health Care Plan: Part One
Here is a post that I originally wrote in August of 2009. Since our new Congress is looking to repeal and replace ObamaCare, I thought we might look at some ideas. Now that the Democrats, and the POTUS in particular, have squandered their credibility on single payer, rationing, the written statements of Ezekiel Emanuel, and overall deceit, I thought it might be appropriate to present the Health Care Reform plan that the Republicans are too weak to present. I will be presenting different parts over time, and will include the positives and any potential pitfalls of each piece. While health care is a complex [...]
Europe Watches in Horror as Stupid Americans Reject Opportunity to be Just Like Them

Socialism is Slavery
I was inspired to write this post by an interview I read over at Trestin Meacham’s blog. He was interviewing a fellow blogger Hyphenated-American and I was moved by his words. The following is an excerpt from that interview. TM: Why should Americans be concerned about socialism? H-A: In the final analysis, socialism is modern day slavery. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, democracy, freedom of religion, freedom of association cannot exist in the absence of free market economy. If a man cannot keep the fruits of his labor, if the government has full control over his economic activity – [...]
Mr. Stalin's Neighborhood Comes to America
According to a new poll by Democracy Corps 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama. That’s an absolutely astounding number considering it was derived from citizens of a nation that was founded on individual liberties, property rights, and limited government. When the majority of the citizens of this great Republic believe that their chief executive officer is a socialist that should send a pretty clear message that we’re on the wrong track. Now I know that there is a difference between socialism and communism and I’m not saying that all socialists are communists, but the two philosophies have more in common with each other [...]

Socialism is Evil
I heard the quote below a long time ago, but couldn’t remember who said it. I thank Brenda Bowers for finding it for me. http://brendabowers.wordpress.com/ Quote from Nikita Kruschev: We will take America without firing a shot . . . We will BURY YOU! We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism. We do not have to invade the United States; we will destroy you from within.” (From an address to [...]
ACORN's Bertha Lewis in Her Own Words
I found this on YouTube and let me tell you after watching it I came to the conclusion that if you had any doubts about which side of the political ideological fence ACORN is standing, this should clear things up. This is a video clip of Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN, speaking at the winter conference of the young democratic socialists on March 25, 2010. First off, I find it quite disturbing that people like this actually live in a Republic that was founded on the principles of liberty and freedom. I respect their right to spew their garbage, but [...]
We are a Socialist Nation
Today I mourn for the United States of America and the people who USED to be free. Make no mistake – with every piece of legislation that gives the federal government more control over our economy and our lives, we give up yet another piece of our freedom. We indeed are NOT a free republic as we were 110 years ago. Merriam-Webster says this of socialism, “any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. Do you know why so many people are against the free market [...]
From the Culture Wars: Sweden to Jail Homeschoolers
Sweden is often held up as an example of a model socialist democracy- one where there is material plenty, freedom, and a wide array of social services. It sounds like the best of both worlds, doesn’t it? Well, maybe-kinda-sort of. Apparently, some Swedes aren’t so “free” in the model socialist democracy. STOCKHOLM (LifeSiteNews.com) – The government of Sweden is taking a hard line against homeschoolers, proposing a bill that will only allow home education under “extraordinary circumstances,” reports the Home School Legal Defense Association. The bill is expected to pass in the Swedish parliament, following a review by the Supreme [...]
Head of State, or Head of Snake?
Today they say will be one of the most historic days in America. I suppose that is true. There have been many historic days, most of which went unnoticed. Most of us mark historic days by points in time that others see as historic as well: Pearl Harbor, JFK’s assassination, Obama’s election, etc. Today is an historic day not so much for the vote that will take place this afternoon but for the “Fundamental Change” that Americans NOW see in their country. Whether Obama Care passes or fails we still have the same issues in place after the vote as [...]
The Question of Government For the People
People new to this site or who are not familiar with communism in practice may not like some of my claims about big government and the leftist agenda in America… but this is probably because the idea of what government should be has never been fully thought through by regular folks out there. I mean, when times are good, when we are not being killed by enemies and our economy is humming along, no one really pays attention to politics… only when times are tough do we have a majority that start having real, hard opinions on what is happening [...]

Happy 99th Birthday Ronald Reagan!
On this, Ronald Reagan’s 99th birthday let us all give thought and thanks to a man who helped this great nation in ways that are still being recognized to this day. Reagan didn’t govern by the polls; he didn’t succumb to political pressure, instead preferring to do what was the right thing, even when it wasn’t the easy thing. All our loyal and regular readers here at CH 2.0 know that I am a HUGE Reagan fan. I recently posted an article entitled, “The Prescience of Reagan” in which a stump speech he gave in 1988 articulated and described so [...]
Who Indoctrinates the Indoctrinators? Teachers Required to Think Socialist to Get Degrees
The People’s Republic of China generally makes no distinction between education and propaganda or indoctrination. All three share the common task of changing man. The agencies of education, indoctrination, and propaganda are legion—newspapers, posters, and propaganda leaflets, neighbourhood gatherings for the study of current events, as well as political rallies, parades, and many forms of “mass campaigns” under careful direction. It is evident that the schools constitute only a small part of the educational program. When the Communists came to power in 1949, they took up three educational tasks of major importance: (1) teaching many illiterate people to read and [...]
The First Thanksgiving
I heard this story years ago, so I thought I’d post it. The official story has the pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620-21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and tenacious, and they learn new farming techniques from the Indians. The harvest of 1621 is bountiful. The Pilgrims hold a celebration, and give thanks to God. They are grateful for the wonderful new abundant land He has given them. The official story then has the Pilgrims living more or [...]
Democrat Health Plan Passes House 220-215
I hate it when I predict something successfully. On several of the blogs that are friends of CH 2.0, I conjectured that the “No vote today” was merely a ruse, and the vote would proceed. It struck me as a misdirection, or just to keep opposition off balance. Unfortunately, I was correct, and the single payer plan passed this evening. I’ll get more into the details over the next few days, but here’s my initial reactions. 1. It’s not over yet. The senate must now pass something. It is currently thought that the Senate will not be able to pass [...]
MoveOn Threatens to Help…Us???
MoveOn, the George Soros funded astroturf army of the left, is making an interesting threat. First, this from FOX News. Moveon.org has reportedly raised $3,578,117 in contributions to fund primary challenges against ‘any Democratic senator who blocks an up-or-down vote on health care reform with a public option,’ according to an e-mail sent to group members on Thursday A civil war is threatening to erupt within the Democratic Party as liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org looks to punish moderate Democrats opposed to the sweeping health care overhaul proposed by party leaders. MoveOn has reportedly raised more than $3.5 million in contributions [...]
Government Intervention Leads To Further American Dependency
I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. – Ben Franklin There are many [...]
Taxes? In My PelosiCare?
ATR, has this list of all the taxes in Pelosi-Care… Employer Mandate Excise Tax (Page 275): If an employer does not pay 72.5 percent of a single employee’s health premium (65 percent of a family employee), the employer must pay an excise tax equal to 8 percent of average wages. Small employers (measured by payroll size) have smaller payroll tax rates of 0 percent (<$500,000), 2 percent ($500,000-$585,000), 4 percent ($585,000-$670,000), and 6 percent ($670,000-$750,000). Individual Mandate Surtax (Page 296): If an individual fails to obtain qualifying coverage, he must pay an income surtax equal to the lesser of 2.5 [...]
We Have a Winner
Congressman Shrek Wins Useful Idiot of the Month! After all, the Republicans want people to die quickly! And that Cheney, who has blood dripping from his fangs, probably gives more to charity in a year than Shrek has in his entire life! Let’s face it, this guy is a poster child for a troll, or should that be re-named ogre in his honor? At any rate, congratulations Shrek, you deserve it! Related posts: We Have a Winner!

Campus Reform: Hope for the Future
As many of the regular visitors to this blog know, education is one of my main areas of interest. The evidence shows that the left has targeted public education for decades now, and are using it as an indoctrination tool. Socialism/Progressivism/Communism are promoted, and the founding principals of our Republic are trashed, if they are mentioned at all. Conservatives on campus are marginalized, and sometimes penalized for their beliefs. I’ve been discouraged by the recent turn for the worse in public education (Barak Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm), as well as the fact that the left see’s no problem with [...]
Leading Cause of Death for African Americans: Abortion
The laughter you hear from the cheap seats in hell is from Margaret Sanger. According to the CDC, abortion kills more African Americans that the highest seven causes COMBINED! For details, here is some information from CNS News. Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven leading causes of [...]
Cheney Destroys the “Blame Bush” Excuse on Afghanistan
Former Vice President, and IMHO a great American Patriot, Dick Cheney gave some remarks while accepting the Keeper of the Flame award from the Center for Security Policy. He took this opportunity to address some comments Rahm Emanuel made in a CNN interview. Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel’s remarks: “You have literally got into a situation, is there another way you can do this? And the president is asking the questions that have never been asked on the civilian side, the political side, the military side, and the strategic side. What is the impact on the region? What can the Afghan [...]
