Quote Of The Day

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people!

- Patrick Henry:

Quote of the Day

"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice."

Why Work?

Check out something from Mark Levin.
You won't like it, but it does explain the "why" of some things going on that we all know are not good for anyone involved.

Quote of the Day -- 29 November 2010

Today's Winner

sometimes it is hard to comprehend just how badly screwed up things have become. And then, to realize that we have helped, via taxes, to finance the screwing-up, is to pour salt in the wounds still being opened.
the link above, in the title here, deals with the use of taxpayer dollars to finance lawsuits against the nation by all sorts of little tinpot fascisti, tree-huggers prominent among them.
But there is more, far more.
a hat tip on this to an article on Richard Ferndandez' great "Belmont Club' section of Pajamas Media, an article that gets into the matter of bureaucracy in general and federal government bureaucracy in particular, and dovetails that with the continuing reverberations from the Ruling Class essay that has gone viral. And a second hat tip to a poster whose contribution included a listing of some of the damage done by bureaucracies in general, not just at the federal level. Follow those links, and the discussion under the original posting, and wonder if the Washington's of the day could ever forgive us.

A person would have to be foolish beyond the "normal" range to be unable to discern that the end of all this "progressive" stuff, this garbage that the Obamabots seem to be intent upon forcing on this once-free nation, will result in pain and misery and want for all. All, that is, except for the 'leaders' who create the problem.
Fact is, we have several examples in history. Cuba we know about, and Venezuela we are watching. And North Korea. The Soviet Union, and all of the Iron Curtain countries. We are watching Britain with interest as well.
How about Argentina?
I didn't know the history of Argentina, a gap in my background.
Here, though, is a brief account of what once was one of the leading nations in the world, just 100 years ago. Until they encountered their very own "hope and change', or is that "hype and chains"? scam artist. And the results were, as always bad. Haven't recovered yet, and probably won't any time soon.
Read it, and weep. Weep for what is coming.


Then read this, and consider the implications.
