February 1, 2009 – Ah … Super Bowl Sunday – America’s most sacrilegious holiday has finally arrived.

As our dumbed down society clusters around their TV sets like sheep to escape the realities of the up coming man made depression, arrogant sponsors have spent over $204 million dollars on commercials to pimp their products on the unemployed masses, spending their last few bucks on enjoying the game.

February 1, 2009 – During these past eight years or so, I have watched the unraveling of our once great Republic – signified by the words of our former President, George W. Bush, who is reported to have referenced the Constitution as, “just a goddamned piece of paper.”

Well Mr. Bush, maybe it now is damned. It is because of the weakness of your leadership and policies, which has brought us the likes of ‘the One’ and the caliber of people, who have come to Washington with him – in addition to those who so numbly believe that this modern-day ‘Moses’ can deliver us from the bondage, which this nation has been has so blindly been sucked in to. This “unraveling” has been coming at us in the form of a runaway train – and I see not the light at the end of the tunnel.

February 1, 2009 – Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read Atlas Shrugged a “virgin.” Being conversant in Ayn Rand’s classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government run amok was practically a job requirement. If only “Atlas” were required reading for every member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I’m confident that we’d get out of the current financial mess a lot faster.

February 1, 2009 – Do you see the flag in the image?  It is an emotionally charged symbol of a unique land where freedom reigns and a freedom that came at great sacrifice.  It is also a symbol of prosperity, creativity, ingenuity, industriousness, productivity and military might, but most of all, unequaled generosity.  The symbol grew into a beacon of hope for the entire world because of what those brave people under it have accomplished and what those people have given back to the world, under this grand flag of liberty.

February 1, 2009 – In my last column, I attempted to wake up my fellow Americans, who are either currently slumbering through the collapse of our constitutional republic or in a protracted state of denial regarding a very real–and very dangerous–burgeoning New World Order. The information that I need to disseminate on this matter is so plentiful that it is extremely difficult to condense into one column. Therefore, I must at least attempt to provide a little more information on this subject. I will use this column to do just that.

February 1, 2009 – In 1939, ten years after the crash on Wall Street, the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the House Ways and Means Committee:

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong…somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started…And an enormous debt to boot!”

Does history repeat itself? Yes, it does.

February 1, 2009 – Towards the beginning of the movie National Treasure, starring Nicholas Cage, there is a verbal exchange between Ben Gates, (Cage’s character) and Riley Poole, his loyal sidekick. After reading a portion of the Declaration of Independence, Gates murmurs, “People don’t talk like that anymore.” To which Riley Poole says, “Beautiful, uh, I have no idea what you said.”

I can empathize with that sentiment, and even take it one step further, people don’t think like that anymore either. However, it is not merely the eloquence with which our founding fathers wrote that is missing, it is the passion for those beliefs that people lack today.

February 1, 2009 – By now most Americans have experienced extreme disgust upon hearing about the nearly $20 billion in bonuses given to people in New York City’s financial sector at the end of 2008.  After sending the nation into the current economic black hole there is no way of comprehending the audacity of financial company executives in giving themselves and their colleagues shameful rewards for abysmal and disgraceful performance.  Other than screaming and moaning about all this dishonorable behavior what should the Obama administration and Congress do?
