Bernanke Rejects Criticism Of Fed As Cause Of Financial Crisis
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Thursday pushed back against critics who lay much of the blame for the recent financial crisis on the monetary policies of the Fed. Testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Bernanke questioned the assertion made by some that the monetary policy of low interest rates set by the Fed significantly contributed to the housing bubble.

Writers often romanticize their subjects. At times they even manipulate their readers. A book – or any piece of writing for that matter – is meant to provide a sense of completion. Sociological explanations are offered to offset the confusion caused by apparent inconsistency in human behavior. At times a reader is asked to take a stance, or choose sides. (more…)

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” - Thomas Jefferson
I have to admit, I’m a little bit confused. There is something about people that I just can’t seem to come to terms with. Maybe if I explain what confuses me, you can help me figure it out. So how about I start out by giving you a few imaginary scenarios to consider.
To begin with, imagine if you invited someone to live in your home, and all this person did was make a mess, steal from you, and invade your privacy. I am pretty sure that if you found yourself in that type situation you would do something about it, wouldn’t you? (more…)

As Hurricane Earl positions itself to crash into the East Coast of America, once again we are faced with the awesome power of a hurricane. This new hurricane comes on the heels of the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina that flooded 80% of New Orleans and killed over 1,800 people. (more…)

I heard this song by the Oak Ridge Boys recently and it just hit me – I am sure I’ve heard it many times in the past but this time the words really rang thru my head. Maybe it is my age (only being 16 ya know), maybe it is all the political things going on and the efforts so many of us have been and are making to *make a difference* – to wake folks up to what is going on and how their napping is supporting the destruction of America.

Thousands of American patriots converged on Washington D.C. yesterday to honor our military, and to restore honor to our country. I believe this was a commendable, and worthy gesture, but, how can you restore honor in a lawless land?
How can honest, law-abiding citizens, ever expect to seek their rightful protections from an out of control government, whose brand of legislation is through theft, deception, fraud, and fear mongering. (more…)

At approximately 1:00 a.m., the morning of August 26, 2010, three vehicles loaded with dope and driven by Mexican Narco Terrorists, broke through the International Boundary Fence on the east side of Douglas, AZ. Unfortunately for them they were quickly spotted and subsequently chased by several carloads of authorities, both federal and local. The chase started on what is locally known as the Geronimo Trail, an extension of 15th Ave. Due to the close proximity to the town, the chase almost immediately found itself within Douglas city limits. The outlaws in their haste to get away tried every trick to evade the law officers. (more…)

In the grand scheme of history, in the great wash of the collective American cosmos, in the midst of the day to day howls and earth rattles of towering financial and political giants, many of us tend to see ourselves as “the little people”. We consider ourselves inconsequential in the wake of epic events that appear to rise and fall like irregular tides and determined by some frenetic force of chance; a great cultural roulette wheel. In fact, we are often encouraged to emulate this belief. Better to roll with the river of difficult times than to fight against the current in a fruitless attempt at changing its direction. Better to let more important and more powerful men blaze the trails that we will later follow, right…? (more…)

“Just a few things to catch up on for the weekend now that the Fundraiser in Chief has gone on another vacation. . . . The Congressional Budget Office says the 2010 Federal deficit will be in excess of $1.3 trillion, as in $1,000,000,000,000+ . . . initial unemployment claims jumped a half-million last week, the worst since last November, as national unemployment remains at 9.5% and the economy sheds 131,000 more jobs . . . But before leaving for his ninth presidential vacation, 10 days at a secluded estate on Martha’s Vineyard, Obama devoted four minutes in the White House driveway to a special statement on the latest disappointing jobs numbers. According to the President, he’s been ‘adamant’ with Congress for months now about a new jobs bill to help small businesses.” – L.A. Times – 08.20.10
We’ve spent $787 billion on a stimulus program that didn’t stimulate. We’ve obligated at least $1 trillion to raise everyone’s future health care costs. The Democrats have just scraped up $26 billion to bail out public employee unions no matter how lavish their contracts. The Federal deficit may well double, to more than $20 trillion, by 2020.
And Obama’s “solution” is another pump-priming giveaway program for “small businesses”? (more…)

If it was your son or daughter who was being deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq, what would be your opinion of these wars?
I recognize that I’m no foreign policy or military strategy expert, but I can see how bravely parents of deployed troops silently bear their pain and fear. I watch how intensely Mike and Cindy pray for the safety of their sons and their comrades at church each Sunday—almost holding their breath until they return home. (more…)

Americans Competing with Immigrants Suffered Even Before Recession
WASHINGTON (August 27, 2010) – Less-educated, younger, and minority American workers face the worst job market in decades, far worse than their more educated counterparts. However, the situation for these workers was very difficult even before the current recession. A report from the Center for Immigration Studies examines their employment situation in the second quarters of both 2007 (before the recession) and 2010. Younger and less-educated workers are the most likely to be in competition with immigrants – legal and illegal. (more…)

As the nation’s children return to elementary and secondary schools, it is increasingly essential that their parents and communities coast to coast realize how poorly served they are and how their learning environment is increasingly tainted by a socialist agenda.
Our nation’s schools have long been factories of boredom, centers of academic incompetence. High school graduation rates have been in a fairly steady decline. (more…)

“Smith & Wesson Hollow Points: The only cure for terminal stupidity.” – Neal Ross
If there I were to be asked what bothers me the most about people, I would have to answer, stupidity. Yet that would not be entirely correct, as stupidity implies a lack of intelligence. What bothers me the most is people who refuse to use the brain that God has given them, not those who for some reason are physically incapable of cognitive thought.
I am not a great person by any means. I have not found the cure for some terrible disease, nor have I created some new gadget that makes everyone’s life easier. I have not written some musical masterpiece nor a novel of breathtaking importance. I am just an average guy. (more…)

(Don’t Pull A ‘Congress’ – Read It!)
I’m 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked hard since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired. (more…)
