Of course the economic answer would be to follow the path of Iceland;
1. Identify the politicians who ran up the debt.
2. Throw them in jail.
3. Declare bankruptcy.
4. Get on with life.
It is not complex. The bankers want to make slaves of the Greek government and citizens. The politicians sold out their sovereignty for a easy job and a paycheck. What else is there to say?

Limited Government? Texting Ban, Green Energy Subsidies, Toll Consolidation And SunRail
With the 2012 Florida Legislative Session entering it’s final leg, I asked a colleague a simple question. Who among the Republican lawmakers in Tallahassee would you consider to be a true limited government, fiscal conservative?
I got a long pause…

After much angst and misinformation centering around the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012, the Heritage Foundation has done an extensive analysis and addresses the key concern that U.S.citizens can be indefinitely detained without due process.
The conclusion, according to Charles D. Stimson, a Senior Legal Fellow in the Center for Legal & Judicial Studies…

Debbie Bosanke, for those of you not exposed to the White House and media spin machine, is Warren Buffet’s secretary, she who putatively pays a lower tax rate than her famous boss.
President Obama is using her as an unwitting shill in his neutron bomb class warfare strategy to raise taxes to fund his hell-on-earth social welfare state. Never have I seen any issue so grotesquely demagogued, distorted, dishonest and deceptive. Consider the naked facts…

Once again, it seems our government’s penchant for more and more regulations could hurt our economy and put American businesses at a disadvantage in the world marketplace.
Just over a year ago, President Obama pledged a government-wide review of regulations in order “to remove outdated regulations that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive.”

Poor George Washington. His birthday, spontaneously celebrated since the Revolution and formally declared a holiday in 1879, has slowly morphed into the insipid Presidents Day you’ll hear about today.
George Washington, the “indispensable man” of the Revolution who was rightly extolled for being “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” has now been lumped together with the likes of James Buchanan, Jimmy Carter, Franklin Pierce and John Tyler.

“The Left is Seldom Right” lays bare the century long manipulation of the terms LEFT and RIGHT in political “science.”
There is an inherent bias in this terminology that favors the Left, a view enhanced continually by most of the mass media and the impact of most of our writers, film producers and academics in American literature and film.

“Congressman West doesn’t live in this district. I’ve lived in this district four years,” Wilkinson said.
Perhaps not the noblest reason to running for office, however, he has every right to enter the race if he so chooses. But this story is not about Wilkinson, who poses no threat to Allen West.
It is about the Democrat Party, and the media, and the ease in which both manipulates the tea party to serve its needs…

The two year anniversary of Florida Political Press is quickly coming up and I thought it may be of interest to share some thoughts and analytical data of the journey thus far.
With the original goals in mind, I can say that I’m less than satisfied with the growth of the site. I feel strongly that FPP is a quality product that has the ability to influence average everyday folks in their grasp of the political spectrum, but for reaching them…

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…
