THE GREEN NEW DEAL AND HAM

The Democrats' Green New Deal, reads like a children's bedtime story except, it is both funny and scary at the same time. Its intent is to make voters cleave loyalty to their ideas, but, it is frightening to think, that any rational American would believe this fairyland of ludicrous idealism.

The Democrats do however, throw in some tantalizing mainstream ideas, such as repealing the Patriot Act, revoking corporate personhood, and going to paper ballots but then they go too far, and roll down the yellow brick road, by promising to do away with the electoral college while providing free college.

The Green New Deal economic plans are laughably ridiculous, and their grandiose employment pronouncements are pure fantasy. First, they talk about government guarantying that everyone has a "living wage" job, even though Democrats have yet to define what a "living wage" means. How much money does it take to make you happy, healthy and secure? I suspect that answer will vary from one person to the next, given the complexities of individuals life choices or uncontrollable circumstances present in people's lives, how much money one needs to live on, is a fluid reality.

Free enterprise understands that fluid reality, and treats the wage earner as the manager of his or her negotiation through the flowing stream of life's changes. When you start out single and young you work for experience more than money, so you can climb the ladder of financial gain. In the communistic static model promoted by the Democrat socialists, you are not upwardly mobile, not compensated for experience and most importantly, not in charge of your life, for the government manages your destiny. (Oh, and by the way, that destiny invariable means, you will stay poor.)

Therefore, a "living wage" is a wonderful term for liberal dreamers to shout, but a completely fraudulent term, when they try to implement whatever "they", or government decides, is a sufficient amount of money to compensate the masses and call it a "living wage". It micro-manages the private sector economy, bringing job loss, small business closings and collapses the ladder of success in two ways. One, the ladder holds less people willing to climb because you have taken away their motivation to better their lives and two, cronyism and nepotism, insinuates its influences, invariably assuring that only those that are connected, see a promotional rise in their wealth and opportunities. 

As for creating the infamous three letter word, "jobs", the liberal leftist have made a bold promise.

"We will end unemployment in America once and for all by guaranteeing a job at a living wage for every American willing and able to work."

The problem? Just how do they plan to guarantee everyone a job? Unemployment is also a fluid reality, that has many factors to consider, government guaranteeing that people have work, only makes one wonder, what shovel of manure will one be holding? The real steaming pile pulled from the barn (as the guaranteed job) or your burning ears filled with their horse poop. No, Progressive Democrat's guaranteed job  pronouncement, rings as hollow as if, they were to guarantee everyone immunity from sickness, unhappiness and even death.  

Also absurd is their want of government to promote the green energy industry, which turns crony capitalism, into a full blown American aristocracy. 

"Invest in green business by providing grants and low-interest loans to grow green businesses and cooperatives, with an emphasis on small, locally-based companies that keep the wealth created by local labor circulating in the community rather than being drained off to enrich absentee investors."

Damn those pesky philanthropic silent investors that live in their multi-million dollar home far away from the companies they bankroll, into thriving start -ups. If they want to keep their money from Democrats, they better set up a cot in the basement of their venture capital investments. (sarc) 

"Provide green jobs by enacting the Full Employment Program which will directly provide 16 million jobs in sustainable energy and energy efficiency retrofitting, mass transit and "complete streets" that promote safe bike and pedestrian traffic, regional food systems based on sustainable organic agriculture, and clean manufacturing."

Oh golly gee, more micromanagement by elitist leftists in Washington, that want  to continue to shred our Constitution and federalism, by making states' rights obsolete and ignoring the 9th and 10th Amendments.

Throughout the Green New Deal story book, the word democracy, and individual, is used even while their holistic elitist federal approach, carves away state and entrepreneurial business freedoms and rights. Apparently, to progressive leftists, small business owners are not individuals. This is the part where the prince, kisses the princess, and she turns into a progressive frog, croak, croak.

No the Green New Deal is the same old song from the liberal left wing, that wants to grow the federal government and destroy private enterprise, tax the air we breathe, demonize the rich, and micromanage our lives more than King George III, ever thought was possible. 

How far afield from John F. Kennedy has the Democrat party veered? Well, his famous line; " ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country", must have been altered by the progressives to read instead, "ask not what my country has done for me - demand that my country do everything for me."

Oh and yes, I will cede up my individual liberty and pursuit of happiness and let elite kings and queens in Washington take care of me, as promised in the Green New, eggs and ham deal, "Sam, I am."

No, the Green New Deal is not just a fairy tale, it is the Nightmare on Capitol Elm street. Do you really think Congress can micro-manage the private sector economy into a success? No, not on a train, in the rain, in a boat, with a goat, not in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, not in a tree, Americans are free. No we do not like them here or there, we do not want government anywhere. We do not like Green New Deals and Ham. We do not like green progressive scams. 

THE DAY OF RECKONING FOR AMERICA

In a few days Americans will reveal whether we embrace American values of freedom, free enterprise, constitutional fealty, federalism and courage under fire.

Our patriotism will either rise again or continue to be transformed by elitists seeking to devolve our history and diminish our spirits. This election may not be the last but it will be the first response to an ideological siege upon our values as a nation.

When we fought a revolution against the enslavement of King George III not all the colonists supported the war for our independence. Some remained loyal to their king, some believed the war to be both futile and suicidal and still some others wanted to continue to negotiate with England believing in a pacifist’s solution but we are not descendents from these weak kneed stock.

We are seeing a divided country as we were prior to the Civil War but instead of it being a north versus south dividing line of states over slavery the division is more red state versus blue state over socialism that would enslave us all.

Why are we Americans even having this debate? How can a country with a storied history of valiant bravery to gain our freedom that then fought to ensure all Americans be equally blessed with that freedom want to now hand it over to elitist bureaucrats?

The answer is socialists’ insurgency. Insurgency in our educational system from kindergarten to university, insurgency from pew to pulpit, insurgency from business to lobbyists, insurgency from unions to campaign funds, insurgency from progressives in both political Parties and insurgency that has invaded the last bastion of patriotism; American family values.

Americans have always been reasonable caring and common sensible citizens that want fairness to be applied for everyone yet even that has been corrupted by the myth of Statists claiming equality equals fairness.

Fairness is not always equal but equal is never fair to a diverse world of uniqueness.

Below is a quick lesson on myth versus fact about equality being the same as fairness.

A mother of two twin boys aged 10 named Peter and Paul Smith admonishes the boys not to cut thorough the neighbor’s yard on route to school. The neighbor has complained and the mother warns that they will be punished if they disobey.

Paul likes to read and build model airplanes in his room after school whereas Peter is less studious hates being cooped up in his room and loves to be outside playing games with friends.

They follow their mother’s rules to not trespass until one day they are very late for school. Peter presses Paul that if they don’t cut through the neighbor’s yard they will be late for school. Paul hesitates but Peter convinces him that the neighbor’s car isn’t in the driveway so with none home and no one will know. They ran through the yard unknowing that the neighbor was in fact home and promptly called their mother.

Version I punishment under equality;

When Peter and Paul arrived home from school they were met with a very angry mother that sentenced both boys to what she called equal punishment. Both boys were confined to their respective rooms after school for a period of one week to come out only for dinner.

Both Peter and Paul accepted that they both equally violated mother’s rule. However, Peter felt he was being punished unfairly because only he not his brother was being punished. Peter knew as did Paul that Paul was normally in his room after school and so it was not a deprivation whatsoever.

Importantly instead of teaching both boys the lesson of negative consequences to their choice to defy the rules the equal punishment wrought a very different outcome.

Paul who suffered no ill from disobeying had less fear to stretch the rules in the future if the worst he could be harmed would be room banishment.

Peter who suffered the denial of being outside cavorting with his friends felt persecuted unfairly not rightfully punished. Peter held jealous anger toward his brother Paul and insecurity over his mother’s favoring of his brother.

Worse than this Peter’s persecution perception now negated the punishment lesson by causing him to believe it mattered little whether he chose right over wrong as he felt disfavored. He might as well indulge his whimsy and be a rule breaker because nobody cares about him.

Version II punishment under fairness;

When Peter and Paul arrived home from school they were met with a very angry mother that sentenced both boys to what she called fair punishment. She banished Peter to his room after school for a week only to come out for dinner. She banished Paul from his room for a week only to be allowed to return to it at night to sleep.

Both Peter and Paul accepted that they disobeyed mother’s rule and deserved to be punished. Both boys hated their punishment and would love to trade places yet both boys knew they were being treated fairly by their mother. Both boys learned that if they wanted to avoid this punishment in the future they needed to think about the consequences of their actions and make better choices.  

Even our creator did not distribute equality to our likeness, abilities, and characteristics as individuals. We were only given equally life and the free will to exercise that life either for good or unwholesome purpose.

“All men are created equal” has been corrupted by implying it means there are and or should be no differences among individuals. Yet the real meaning refers instead to humanity’s view on the sanctity of all human life being equally respected. What you then pursue, dream, hope, aspire and rise to as an individual is between your conscience and your creator not under the control or thumb of human dictates.

Pluralism was the construct of our forefathers to ensure a level playing field of fairness in an acknowledgement of unequal designs of humans by making the law be equally applicable to all under it. Those laws had to have the support of the people to be both created and abolished but no American would be allowed to be above the law.

Adjudication and punishment of violating the law was also viewed as propriety of exacting fairness commensurate with the level of lawbreaking (murder) the circumstances of the lawbreaking (self-defense) and the judgment of jurists and jury to a fair penalty.

Statist in this country have preached socialism in the pulpit (social justice) have taught socialism in the classroom, demand socialism in the workplace (unionization) while corporate America gives an equal corrupted dollar to both political parties to advance socialist elitism. 

The insurgency started in the Democratic Party that has been shrill shill of socialist’s agitators for half a century but Americans know that the Republican Party has a number of insurgents in their ranks as well.

Parties are corrupt, both parties seek to power grab from the people but there is a major difference that has been brewing as the counter insurgency in the American politic. Do you know what that is? Have you heard of them?

Yes the Tea Party Movement, the concerned citizens, the libertarians, the awakened voters, the patriotic activists, the independents and yes the traditional American that still salutes the flag in honor for which she stands.

We the great unwashed electorate that wonders how it is after each election nothing changes and instead grows worse in corruption and disseverment of our hard fought freedoms. 

Well to all those undecided voters, cynical voters and fooled voters by leftist ideology this is the time to decide which side you are on. This is the time to step off the sideline. This is the time to vote with a whole different mindset. Hire them and fire them but don’t admire them!

Patriotic Americans are committed to work through the Republican Party that still holds hope to be infused with constitutional faithful, constituent faithful, American value faithful, free enterprise faithful and honor in office faithful politicians.

We are not delusional, dumb, trusting, and hypocritical or expecting that those we elect will honor their words of promise rather we will be vigilant as their boss to keep them to task.

Since 2010 and well into the future elections past 2012 and into 2014, 2016 and so on the new American electorate will push back the corrupt insurgents against our Constitutional Republic. 

Obama and the Democrats have tried to divide us, make us cynically believe their equality drivel and have numbed down our minds, hearts and loyalties to our fellow Americans.

Government isn’t charitable, Americans are, government isn’t inventive Americans are, government isn’t efficient Americans are, government isn’t successful Americans are and government did not build our nation Americans did! Americans don’t leave Americans behind our government did that! 

You must vote Romney and Ryan along with voting for Republicans in the House and Senate for it is our only chance to start the peaceful counter revolution to the statist’s socialists that have completely infiltrated the Democratic Party.

If John F. Kennedy were alive today he would vote for Romney and Ryan for he would not recognize his own party that lacks “Profiles in Courage”.

ONE NATION UNDER GOVERNMENT

We are seeing our country become a bastion of service workers that either work for the government or the private sector to sell goods that the United States no longer manufactures. Some say it is the natural progression of the modern high tech evolvement of our economy that has matured from the Industrial complex to the robotic age of the integrated circuit.

The human assembly line of old school manufacturing is now a line of specialized robots programmed to do the task of many while being overseen and operated by a few trained people. This mechanized production along with a higher set of skill sets for human labor has been touted as the main reason that America has shifted to a service

over manufacturing based economy.

Yet is that true? Consider the old joke “How many people does it take to change a light bulb?” Well in the past you could argue it took about 800 workers plus one. That number represents the amount of factory workers manufacturing the light bulb replacement and one to screw it into the lamp.

With automation the amount of workers in the Edison factory did not decrease however even though the laborious practice of glass blowing and filament twisting was now done by machines. There were still many jobs for the human workers from testing to packaging and shipping that remained employed throughout the modern transformation from hand to machine in the Edison invention.

Americans have been sold a lie by our politicians that good paying factory jobs have progressed out of our economy naturally through the advancement of technology. Union leaders have lied to their members that greedy manufactures ran oversees to feast gluttonously on cheap labor and higher profits.

What is the real truth? The truth is that our government has been the biggest saboteur of manufacturing in this country for years. The war on capitalism did not start with the Obama administration but rather has been waged by Congress for over fifty years. The socialists Democrats have been in bed with Union leaders to bring tyranny to American manufacturing in a multi-flanked imprisonment of their healthy survival. The Republicans in Congress were equally duplicitous as we watched the dying of “made in America” factory jobs become “Maids in America” service jobs.

When I say that the Unions and our Government attacked manufacturing on many flanks I refer to Labor laws, Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA), Class Action Law suits, liability laws, EPA laws, Union contracts, National Labor Relations Board, trade deals, a huge tangle of import and export laws and of course corporate tax laws.

This has been the heavy hand of Federal government lobbied by unions to make profitability in the United States next to impossible for domestic manufacturing. The only reason that China is out producing the United States in manufacturing is that the Chinese do not have the American Congress to stand in their way.

Consider Gibson Guitar in Tennessee if you think I might be overselling the case that government has ruined our manufacturing industry. The Lacey Act is an old conservation law passed in the 1900 intended to stop the import sale of illegal wildlife, fish, plants and wood from poachers that was amended as of 2008 to add more prohibited items.

Gibson Guitar was raided by the Feds with guns drawn to seize rosewood purchased from India. The Indian government believed the sale was legal, Gibson Guitar believed the sale was legal but the Federal government holds Gibson’s business hostage while it investigates. This means the guitar making business is held hostage without charges and awaits an outcome with their property in seizure while they lose money daily.

Laws designed to protect the interests of Americans be it conservation, environmental, labor, and consumer safety among many other areas have effectively bullied manufacturing to leave America to find a haven in other countries with less regulation.

That leaves both union and non-union workers without jobs. Makes towns and cities run in the red financially with lost business tax revenue. It also makes many small businesses that did business with the lost manufacturing company close their shops. Moreover, like an economic domino effect even the small family run sub shop that sold sandwiches to the lunch hungry factory workers gets muscled out of the market by national franchised chains.

This is the Federal America that has been waging a hostile war against business under the guise of protecting us. This is the Federal government that once you are caught in its crosshairs, rightly or wrongly will destroy your career and reputation. This is the America we have made by asking for and allowing our legislators to sit on Capitol Hill and make laws governing every aspect of our lives.

There is no freedom to be immoral but equally there is no freedom from a mountain of legal constraints that America’s has imposed upon its economic engine.

Americans need to re-introduce themselves to the notion of freedom. Freedom entails mistakes along with fortune, tragedy along with happiness, failure along with success, thieves along with honest brokers and spoils along with victory.

Every law we make and call for to be made makes us less free. Every time we attempt by law to rid our society of bad actors socially or economically we instead trap more honorable people unaware of wrongdoing while the real morally bankrupt find another way to predate on innocence.

When a society has no laws we call it lawless and assume it is a chaotic place to live. Yet conversely, when a society has an overabundance of laws that constrain one’s ability to live then society ignores the law and equally becomes lawless. Yet, under the law is a foundation we call morality. That common societal morality keeps law either valued or diminished.

The law based on no morality or circumspect ethical value is bound to be broken by people who follow moral justification for their actions. Just as the immoral person will flaunt the law no matter how steeped it is on moral ground.

America has allowed special interest to transplant our nation from a moral society with limited laws for the purpose of punishing immoral acts to a nation that legally attacks our morality and has given rise to a din of laws based on empty human secular values.


The new immorality is to profit if you are a business, to display religious symbolism, to not re-cycle, to deny global warming, to call abortion killing, to smoke, to use salt, to be overweight, to use words deemed inappropriate, to utilize energy inefficient products, to believe in capitalism and to work hard and become rich.

The American economy is finally feeling the true results of decades of legislative overreach that has seen our nation on a path of decline from the hubris and atheistic influence of big nanny government. The once proud country of individual freedom watched by the God loving neighborhood of peer pressure to insure that morality was the ultimate enforcer to keep business and people honorable is gone.

The only way to return manufacturing and re-build America’s once promising future is to reverse, repeal, re-boot and return our country back to its Judeo-Christian roots as a Republic that wrote the Bill of Rights’ to expressly protect us from our current federal tyranny.

THE SOLAR POWERED RUNWAY

Secretary Stephen Chu is being chewed out by the House oversight committee on the loan guarantees given to the solar panel company that went bankrupt in August of 2011 after receiving 535 million taxpayer dollars.

Watching the hearings reminds me of a blast from the past. The senate hearings on Organized crime in the 1960’s in which Mafia bosses denied being anything other than being upstanding American citizens.

Stephen Chu claims no previous awareness of any of the politically motivated e-mails involving Solyndra by White House, investor George Kaiser, Office of Management and Budget or Soylndra executives until they were reported in the press days before he testified.

Apparently Stephen Chu the White House and the Democrats want Americans to believe there is no scandal, no illegality, no undue political influence, no break from SOP (standard operating procedure) and no incompetency.

Interesting that both the CEO and the CFO of Solyndra (Brian Harrison and W. G. Stover) both pleaded their Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer questions about their company to Congress weeks earlier given that all is above board in this “un-scandal”.

We have now learned that the White House was involved along with the DOE in requesting Solyndra to delay announcement of its bankruptcy and layoffs from its plan in October 28, 2010 until November 3, 2010.

Collectively we dawn a deadpan face as the political games played in Washington has jaded us all to expectations far from great.  Is anybody shocked that the White House tried to bury the evidence of the failed Solyndra that it took down the runway as the latest fashionable future in energy?

Americans know how the political game works or should we more aptly suggests doesn’t work for the people. The altruism in Washington to set policy that benefits the public  is a pretense Americans know well.

Retuning to my mafia analogy, we all know that in order to be a part of any corrupt cabal one needs to either be just an unscrupulous person begging membership or a patsy to be used.

Stephen Chu is a renowned physicist that truly believes in green energy and although his left leaning political belief in global warming makes him culpable to conservative criticism, no one seriously views him as corrupt.

Instead this good guy geek was brought into the Chicago political gang and given the job of Secretary of the Department of Energy for two reasons reputation and naivety.  How else does this administration manipulate favoritism to his campaign fundraisers (Kaiser) and make it all seem coincidental?

The worst outrage of the Solyndra story of course is the disputed legality of the loan restructuring that put taxpayers out in the cold as a secured creditor while the private investors went to the head of the line.

Stephen Chu seemed calm under fire when he explained to Congress that when the DOE learned that Solyndra had a serious cash flow problem the government was left with two choices. One pulls the loan and ensures Solyndra falls quickly into bankruptcy where taxpayers would take a bath or restructure the loan. Chu’s argument for the latter involved Solyndra’s half built building that would not become a salable asset unless it was completed.

However, most Americans are rightfully confused that if the reason to not pull the loan was to insure that the taxpayer had asset equity to liquidate if the company went under, then how did it benefit the taxpayers to be made secondary creditors over private investors?

In business there is always the paradoxical choice of what to do with a high volume sales customer that does not pay their bill. Shut them off and you lose those sales while chasing your money in court or keep extending them credit and hope they will adhere to a payment plan and not beat you out of greater debt. However, I know of no such plan that involves handing your receivables over to a third party in which you lose either way if the customer pays or defaults? 

This can only happen in a government managed or should we say mismanaged loan program. We have seen politics mixed with many endeavors such as war strategy and we know it is a toxic mixture. No American is surprised that politics mixed with business not only creates failure, corruption, favoritism, waste, inefficiency and fraud but worse it displays a public disdain.

The Democrats on the Committee shrugged their shoulders that this was not a scandal, but a normal expected outcome of the policy to lend taxpayer dollars to losing causes. The fact that the government threw half a billion dollars on the green energy betting table and it lost was no big deal. The fact that the loan was restructured to make the taxpayer insolvent happens every day.

The idea that Stephen Chu should even be questioned given his impeccable credentials to the Democrats is the only outrage.

Yes, this administration found the perfect patsy in Stephen Chu to kill two birds with one stone, pay back Obama’s fundraising friends and use a green energy company to laud the president’s environmental success story.

However, even though the emperors clothes are now revealing their transparent see through exposure it will be the patsy dressmaker (Chu) that will take the fall not the man gliding on the runway stage as the once Chicago super model that now struts in Washington.

I PAID FOR THE STICK NOW HIT ME HARD!

Obama is the poster boy of Wall Street campaign money receiving 11.8 percent of his 2012 campaign funds from the financial district and 6.9 percent from lawyers which represents a lion’s share of all his contributors.

The word hypocrisy seems exhaustibly overused in light of both Obama and the Democratic Party’s sympathy overtures to the Occupy Wall Street protesters that rail against Wall Street influence.

It seems oxymoronic that these rich capitalists would be bankrolling those that want to over-regulate them, tax them excessively and now backstab them by sympathizing with those that want to shame them for being rich and successful?

Is this what happens to people who are successful in this country? Do they acquire wealth and equally acquire masochist complex about being rich and successful?

By giving money to a Party and a candidate that bites and slaps the hand that feeds the class warfare against them makes the average American perplexed. Why? Why is Wall Street giving money to Obama? Why is Wall Street giving money to the Democratic Party that wishes to bridle their future earnings through socialist’s policies?

Are they so ashamed of how they earned their wealth that they want a public pillory to whip their well fed backsides raw to cleanse their rueful pangs of guilt when they see so many others struggling?

There is a difference between Warren Buffett and the Koch Brothers in the viewing of wealth. Buffet believes in social justice which is fascinating given the fact that he earned his wealth in the Wall Street casino game. He never produced a product but instead invested and traded on the success of American business.

 The Koch Brothers inherited Koch Industries from their patriarch Fred C. Koch who developed a new method for refining heavy oil into gasoline. Koch Industries is an example of an American entrepreneurial success story that produced a highly marketable product.

 Both Buffet and the Koch Brothers have been charitable with their wealth yet the contributions are as different as one’s left hand is to one’s right foot.

Buffet is bankrolling Obama and is fully immersed in the social engineering belief that money and power is to be used to play favorites in redistributing wealth.

Koch Brothers have donated countless monies for fostering entrepreneurial opportunities along with conservative think tanks like The Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute as well as giving the Tea Party Movement support.

One is showing appreciating for the opportunity they realized through the capitalistic American Dream by giving back that hopeful prospect to other Americans to materialize that same chance at success.

While the other wants to play god on earth believing philanthropy used to change American society is part of the responsibility of wealth achievement.

The political ideological differences of the rich may be as divided as the two party system of American politics yet in this economic climate of class warfare orchestrated by a highly partisan administration why are the wealthy buying mace and self flagellating by continuing to support Obama?

This whole notion of class warfare in America has been orchestrated from the beginning by the Democratic Party, Socialist Party, Unions and other anti-capitalists left-wing groups in their constant speech mantra that blames the haves (rich) success for the have not’s (poor) failure.

The Democratic Party has been indoctrinating the notion of “blame everyone but self” undermining America’s long tradition of rugged independent individual responsibility for years.

The notion of equal justice in which law is the equal playing field of rules for all Americans, has been systematically undermined by Democratic policies. For far too long Democrats have exercised social cronyism or “social justice” by preaching to minorities and low wage earners that the fault lies “in the stars” not in their own individual control.

It is a Marxist tactic to foment anger at capitalism and create a government dependent class (worker) against the (wealthy) class business owner.

It is not remotely similar to Tea Party protests when Van Jones an avowed communist, cynically co-opts American ideals by calling his group the “Return the American Dream” protest a “spirit of Madison” movement. He purposefully perverts American history and expressions for his sophistry knowing the Marxist socialist’s agenda is finally undressed exposed and repugnant to the majority of Americans.

In fact it is the Marxist socialists Democratic government policies that have swamped the American landscape with so many laws, regulations and legal liabilities that today’s entrepreneur cannot bring good ideas to market.

So again why are rich Americans, corporations and Wall Street bankrollers still supporting Democrats and their class warfare agitators? Why are bundlers from Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and countless law firms still contributing to an ideological left that has put a bull’s eye on their backs?

Is this just about political hedge funding in which the game is to stay favorable with whomever Party owns the influence in Washington? Or is it that Corporations already own both political parties and by equally dolling out the money to (Marxist) left and (corrupt) right so they can disguise the otherwise visible puppet strings?

Now more than ever America needs the genuine patriotic spirit of the Tea Party Movement to grow stronger, recruit more participation, be alert and watchful and most importantly stay informed.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. (James Madison)
