“Wash The Insiders’ dust out of your eyes, my friends … and the Communists’ soapsuds out of your brains… and ask yourself, “What is wrong with the United States simply minding its own business?”

Hmmm…. I wonder if Ron Paul studied Robert Welch’s speeches or they just both happened to be two really smart guys who figured it out and had the guts to speak out about it?

Well, here are the ten steps Robert Welch laid out in at the Founding Meeting of the John Birch Society in …. 1958!!  “Call him correct”:

1. Greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means of getting rid of American money as wastefully as possible;
2. High & much higher taxes; Read the rest of this entry »

Carter, Conaway: If approved by Senate, federal takeover of student loan industry allowed

(WASHINGTON, DC) – College students will no longer have a choice on where to obtain their student loans if a bill passed today by the House of Representatives becomes law.  Democrats voted overwhelming to approve the bill. The legislation elminates the private lender option by June of next year.The House today voted down party lines to approve H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 sponsored by Rep. George Miller (D-CA), which strips students of the ability to choose private lenders under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) over the Federal Direct Lending Program (FDLP).

“The public-private student loan program that has been in place since 1965 has provided funding for over 60 million Americans to attend college,” says Congressman John Carter (R-TX).  “To answer success like that by voting to destroy the system makes no sense for students or higher education.”

The Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) last year alone provided college loans for 6.4 million students at 5,000 schools, and has been the overwhelming student loan program of choice for colleges and students, especially among Texas schools and students.

Many volumes have been written about the Great Depression of 1929-1941 and its impact on the lives of millions of Americans. Historians, economists and politicians have all combed the wreckage searching for the “black box” that will reveal the cause of the calamity. Sadly, all too many of them decide to abandon their search, finding it easier perhaps to circulate a host of false and harmful conclusions about the events of seven decades ago. Consequently, many people today continue to accept critiques of free-market capitalism that are unjustified and support government policies that are economically destructive.

Dinner at the White House…. a parable

Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a free country. There’s nothing that the government can do to me if I’ve broken no laws. My wealth was earned honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor.

I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room. We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner.

The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate, and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen.

Reporter Michael Scherer of Time Magazine interviews Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on 9-17-09.  They cover a variety of topics related to Rep. Paul’s new book, “End the Fed.”

Uh-oh… It’s a bird, it’s a plane… It’s a black male preacher addressing a crowd of .. ahem, 600 or 700 Southern, white people who can’t read, write or speak very well. (Or, that’s what the corporate-controlled mass media would have you believe!!)

TAKE ACTION!

We need to let Congress know (repeatedly) how we feel about this. Perhaps even more important, we need to recruit new members to the cause. As always, there’s power in numbers, and the more of us making a ruckus, the faster we’ll get this done.

Summary of this week’s report:

Obama’s speech to America’s school children was far less innocuous than it appeared. It was an attempt to capture the hearts and minds of our kids, and to have them ask themselves how they “can help the President”. Conservatives were right to oppose it. We need to speak out against Obama’s plans to indoctrinate vulnerable young minds.

The full report:

On September 8th, Barack Obama delivered a speech to 1500 students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, which was also broadcast to almost every public school in the nation (as well as many private schools). Obama’s plan was to have every student in American schools watch the speech. He and his liberal apologists in the media billed it as simply a motivational speech along the lines of “work hard, stay in school, and you can achieve your dreams.” That certainly sounds good; who could possibly be against something like that? (Even many Christian schools fell for this line.)
