Wall Street Protests and the Economics of Ignorance

Anyone checked out the list of demands from these phony OccupyWallStreet protestors? They've called for nothing less than a communist revolution.

Democracy

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship" -Tocqueville

Our Constitution was one of the greatest achievements in world history in terms of liberty. While the Constitution was a good start to restraining government, history has shown very clearly that even it could not restrain government from growing ever bigger. The fact that 51% percent of the country can govern the other 49% has given us huge debt. While we are not exactly a democracy per se, history has shown that our country has moved closer to a democracy than a republic. If only the founders knew to add further restraints to Congress' law making ability. Instead of requiring 50% for a bill to pass each house, something like 80% or more would be a much better number for those who have an interest in liberty.

This issue continues to divide conservatives.

Yet Another Illegal Executive Assassination

Obama: American People Not Better Off Than They Were Four Years Ago

While Obama did inherit a bad economy, it's clear that he and the federal reserve have done nothing but make it worse. At least he admits that Americans are not better off than we were 4 years ago.(However, I'm also not implying the economy under Bush was anything special.)

Police Confront Man For Open Carry Legally

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -Thomas Jefferson

While tyranny becomes law in the halls of the legislature, eventually all tyranny comes to the door in a uniform.

Scandals - Only Bad Under Republican Presidents

There have been a recent string of scandals that have happened under the Obama administration, but most Americans probably don't even know about them. It's probably because scandals are only a bad thing if they happen under a Republican president(i.e. watergate). With Operation Fast and Furious, the Solyndra loans, LightSquared, and now another billion dollar loan to another solar company where Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law is the #2 at the company.

Is the Obama administration going to be held accountable for this? Only time will tell, but it's pretty safe to say that Obama won't be resigning the Presidency at noon tomorrow anytime soon.

A little reminder of how safe the disarmed are.

The Killing Of Anwar Al Awlaki

Many Americans and those in the media have been cheering the killing of Anwar Al-Awalki throughout the day today, even many conservatives(or neoconservatives at least). How can these conservatives who say they support the Constitution, liberty, and the rule of law support such a tyrannical and unconstitutional action?

If the government has the right to deem an American citizen a terrorist and then assassinate them without any type of trial, a liberty-minded person should understand how wrong this is. Just months ago, many DHS internal memos were leaked calling people who were pro-life, veterans, or right-wingers potential terrorists. Under the logic that many are currently professing, the government would be able to kill any of those people or virtually anyone they deemed a terrorist extra judicially.

This, like many other overreaching government actions, sets a dangerous precedent for expansion and abuse of government power in the future. If the United States had the intelligence to track down and kill Mr. Awlaki, then they certainly had the intelligence to track down and capture him. Not that this vile and evil man is anyone to stick up for, but you can't pick and choose who to apply the law to in a republic like ours.

Also, if we really wanted him so bad, why didn't we just pick him up when he was invited to dine at the pentagon? (Yes, this really happened.)

A Sad Truth

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. -George Bernard Shaw

More Bogus Numbers from the Obama Adminsitration

After checking out this chart, you can clearly see that it is a huge lie. While Reagan increased the debt to levels that no Republican should be proud of, the numbers are CLEARLY fudged.

Check out these two articles, explaining just how dishonest the Obama Administration, Nancy Pelosi, and left is when it comes to the national debt:
