The terrorists are coming! The terrorists are coming! That is the unmistakable message of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. According to Janet Napolitano (Secretary of HS) and John Pistole (TSA head), not only are Middle Eastern terrorists coming to get us, but also every American is a terrorist suspect, because the federal government does not know if any one of us has became a “traitor” willing to blow himself or herself up on a commercial airline flight.

The Nazification of America acclerates
23
Nov
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano may expand body scanners to public transportation, trains and buses. Ms. Napolitano has drawn a line in the sand. The American people better wake up and smell the coffee. At best, the federal government is turning America into one giant “plantation”–where the feds are our masters and the rest of us are obedient slaves. At worst, we are headed to Gulag USA. It’s up to the American people: do they want liberty or submit to tyranny. There is no middle ground. The TSA must be abolished–lock, stock and barrel.
We are all Jews now: The TSA’s Nazification of America

My parents were the only members of their respective families who survived the Holocaust. Dad was a partisan commander in his native Poland, where he and more than 230 heroic fighters killed untold German soldiers, laid mines and attacked convoys. In 1949, my parents decided to immigrate to America so they and their children (including yours truly) would live in their new homeland—the beacon for all oppressed peoples for two hundred years–in peace and freedom.
Support the nanny state…or you are an “enemy of the state”

Nov
Political correctness and the nanny state dominate our culture. We see this displayed everyday on the editorial pages of America’s newspapers. The latest editorial supporting more government intervention to protect “public health” is found in surprise, surprise, The Record (Hackensack, NJ), “Smoke and Fries: ‘Nanny state’ is good for your health.”
This is the government we have chosen

One of the most memorable lines in American cinema occurred on a balcony in a Havana hotel on the eve of the Cuban Revolution. On the balcony Hyman Roth, an elderly gangster, is speaking to Michael Corleone about making an “investment” in Cuba, as rebel forces are challenging the regime of Dictator Fulgencio Batista, days before Fidel Castro takes over Havana on January 1, 1959. At this meeting of several Mafia chieftains, Roth says to Michael, “This is the business (crime) we have chosen.”
The welfare state implosion is accelerating
11
Nov
Students have rioted in England because college and university tuition is poised to take another leap upward. Higher education tuition as late as the 1990s was zero. To help balance the national budget the Conservative government of Prime Minister Cameron is slashing welfare subsidies and increasing the cost of government services. In short, financial reality is catching up to the British government and its people.

If ObamaCare is Bad, What Would Be Better? By Dr. Alieta Eck, http://www.aapsonline.org
ObamaCare is a wildly unpopular law for anyone who knows anything about health care. The election proved that. Physicians came together in Washington, DC to film the following national ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPwEVXstFdA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Perhaps it is time for the politicians to admit that the government cannot provide health care. Period.
Self-financed candidates could have used their money to provide health care for the uninsured

Nov
In the past decade, self-financed candidates, Michael Bloomberg, Jon Corzine, Meg Whitman, Linda McMahon and countless others spent collectively nearly one billion dollars to run for political office. Mayor Bloomberg spent $250 million to win three terms as mayor of New York City. Jon Corzine spent $131 million to win a U.S. Senate seat, the governorship of New Jersey and then failed in his reelection bid in 2009 despite out spending his rival Chris Christie by more than $12 million.
Now what? A Tea Party Summit for December 15
04
Nov
The American people spoke loud and clear on Election Day—the federal government has overreached. Tea Party candidates were successful in many House races, allowing the GOP to pick up more than 60 seats, while in the battle for the Senate, Tea Party candidates lost in Nevada, Colorado and Delaware, depriving the GOP of the 51 seats needed to take over the upper chamber.
Will Tea Party candidate Anna Little lead the way on Tuesday?
30
Oct
The outcome of the Anna Little/ Frank Pallone race in the sixth congressional district will set the tone of the Tea Party’s strength around the country. If Anna Little wins the House seat, there is a high probability that Republicans could win as many as 100 seats on Tuesday. If Little loses by one or two points, Republicans should pick up at least 70 seats. This race is in so many ways a bellwether for the rest of the nation.
When will the U.S. dollar collapse?
28
Oct
The Federal Reserve has created more than a trillion dollars in the past few years. The last two federal budgets have had back-to-back one trillion dollar plus deficits for the first time in history. The federal government budget shows no signs of stabilizing at more than $3.5 trillion annually, let alone declining from these nose bleed levels anytime soon. Unfunded liabilities of the federal government have reached an astonishing $202 trillion, according to one recent analysis. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union and the supposed “peace benefit,” total military spending is reaching unprecedented levels in a post Cold War era. Read the rest of this entry »
Tea Party wimps: man up
21
Oct
The New York Times’ (October 20) front-page article says it all, “As G.O.P. Seeks Spending Cuts, Details Are Scarce.” Tea Party endorsed candidates are campaigning on the “small is beautiful” theme when it comes to the size of government. Yet, virtually none of them has identified any specific reductions in federal spending, nor have they indicated which federal programs or cabinet departments they would abolish.
The Sovietization of the American media
18
Oct
In the former Soviet Union, dissidents were called “enemies of the state” by the ruling apparatchiks and imprisoned for posing a threat to the ruling order. In addition, dissidents were branded as mentally ill and confined to a psychiatric ward so they could be “cured” of their anti-state thoughts. Ironically, in America today the mass media are performing a similar task as the thugs who enslaved the Russians and other ethnic groups for nearly seventy five years by insinuating that critics of the federal government are “dangerous” and mentally unbalanced.
Ben Bernanke’s money machine is about to go into overdrive

On October 15th Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, gave a speech at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston outlining his views on the economy and asserted that the FED will pursue its dual mandate vigorously: maximum employment and price stability.
Christie for president? First take on the New Jersey Supreme Court
14
Oct
Governor Christie is getting national attention for his blunt style and outspokenness as he travels around the country campaigning for fellow Republicans. Christie’s “in your face” approach has even spilled over into the Tea Party crowd. Last week, the governor won a presidential straw poll in Virginia, edging out both Sarah Palin and Rep. Ron Paul. However, in a culture that worships style over substance, he has to do more in the Garden State than bash the New Jersey Education Association if he has any thoughts about living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC.
