More than two centuries ago, our founders set forth a promise to our citizens of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today those values are being squandered by an electorate that does not truly represent the people, who put their party before character.

I am not an elitist who got a tax cut, a domestic terrorist (as re... Continue reading ...

Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas W. Elmendorf gave a fiscal wake-up call to Senate Budget Committee members in testimony on July 16, noting that “the federal budget is on an unsustainable path — meaning that federal debt will continue to grow much faster than the economy over the long run.”
As most American school children know, one of the chief complaints that
the American colonists had against the mother country was that they
were taxed without their consent. "Taxation without representation is
tyranny," a phrase often credited to the revolutionary James Otis,

Racism is Equivalent to Socialism or Fascism in Contrast to Liberty
POCATELLO, ID – The nationwide Tea Party movement is stirring up quite a bit of controversy, some of which comes from a lack of understanding about what's motivating so many American citizens to take to the streets in protest of what their government is doing.

If Ron Paul succeeds in getting the Fed audited, the consequences could be far-reaching. Assuming the audit isn't rigged to protect the guilty, as a similar bill was in 1978, the Fed will need every obfuscating Keynesian to testify and write editorials on its behalf, to reassure the public that monetary matters really are best left to the god...
