The Congressional Budget Office now estimates that our national debt could nearly double over the next 10 years — to an astounding $29.4 trillion from $15 trillion today — so you might think Washington would be looking to stop the fiscal train wreck.
You’d be wrong…

For the record government spending is not beneficial for the economy.
Government does not create anything. Government takes resources from others who worked for those resources and redistributes the resources. This causes malinvestment of resources in favor of the government, Wall Street, and Federal Reserve…

These latest regulations, including the President’s “accommodation” announcement, are a blatant infringement of our freedoms.
It is not the role of government to force individuals, companies, or organizations to buy or subsidize a product that violates their religious beliefs.
Using state power to force Americans to purchase products against their conscience is a not a church-state conflict — it’s tyranny.

Senator Marco Rubio addresses the American Conservative Union’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, February 9, 2012.
“Unlike any leader in modern American history, we are led today by a president that has decided to pit Americans against each other,” Rubio said. “The basic argument he is making to our nation is that the reason why some of us are worse off than we used to be is because other people are doing too well. That the only way for some of us to do better is for some people to do worse.”

Families and businesses have budgets, yet Washington doesn’t — and it hasn’t for the last three years. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) doesn’t think this major omission is that big of a deal, and the White House has no opinion on the matter.
Fortunately, there are leaders in the House who see the importance of passing a budget and getting runaway spending and escalating debt under control.

When the USSR collapsed it was not a military defeat by the USA, it was a collapse of their money.
Simply put government workers got tired of showing up for work, pretending to work, and getting paid in worthless rubles that did not buy anything of value. Hungry, frustrated, the government workers stopped showing up for work and pursued real work that put food on the table.

The economic understanding 200 years ago was infinitely superior to what passes as knowledge today.
The only good thing that can come out of this worldwide melt down would be relearning why it is so important to separate the government from control of the money supply…

Thousands are dead in Syria, with more blood spilled each day. Iran is within arm’s reach of a nuclear weapon, threatening Israel’s very existence. And in Egypt, 19 Americans are banned from leaving the country, making them veritable hostages in an unfriendly land.
All indications are that the Middle East is crumbling, and President Barack Obama’s foreign policy is collapsing right along with it…

“The new debate in the Republican party needs to be between conservatives and libertarians,” says Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). “A lot of the libertarian ideas that Ron Paul is talking about…should not be alien to any Republican.”
Yet right after the 2010 midterm elections, the influential Tea Party favorite proclaimed that “you can’t be a fiscal conservative and not be a social conservative,” a comment that was widely viewed as a slap at libertarians.

Here’s another tidbit that puts the opening terminology in better perspective, Nevada allocates its 28 delegates proportionally, meaning that Romney picked up 10 delegates to Newt’s 4.
Yet, a leading Romney backer in Nevada was calling for Gingrich to drop out of the race instead of continuing to divide the party. Of course, this ally was not as insistent on Santorum and Dr. Paul, who continue to split the non-Romney vote ensuring Romney success, to follow suit.

Much energy has been expended in the past few weeks regarding the Obama/Sebelius mandate that religious groups cover the full cost of contraceptives.
The administration came out with their version of “compromise” allowing the religious groups themselves exemption, but mandating that their insurers cover the cost. Great example of Democrats’ “compromise.”

Ryan takes a hard hitting approach with Tea Party Express, but doesn’t follow suit with Tea Party Patriots, barely mentions Tea Party Nation, gives FreedomWorks a complete pass and there’s no mention whatsoever of the latest of what seems like an endless line of opportunists, TeaParty.net.
It seems unfair when you consider any one of the above is as detrimental as the other. In each case, don’t look too closely behind the mirror.

On January 29, 2012 the Holocaust Memorial Resource & Education Center of Florida (HMREC) co-hosted an event with Sunni Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. The event was; BESA – Albanian Muslim Rescuers During the Holocaust.
The Albanian “Bektashi” Muslims who saved 2,000 Jews during World War 2 were awarded the title, “Righteous Among the Nations” by the State of Israel. Righteous Among the Nations is an honorific title awarded to recognize non-Jews who risked their lives saving Jews from extermination by the Nazis…

In their isolated inside the beltway arrogance, it appears the Obama administration did not anticipate the huge “blow back”, resulting from Obama’s decree that Catholic institutions provide birth control, abortion drugs and other contraceptive services.
This latest attack on the unborn is simply more of the same from Obama. As an Illinois Senator, Obama voted against the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act which authorized hospital staff to…

Agendas don’t matter, programs don’t matter, legislation doesn’t matter until our representatives all are abundantly aware that we the people are willing to take control.
Once that fact is firmly ingrained in their psyche then we can get them to govern, to listen, and to act. Until then everything else is just background noise…
