Some News Flashes
September 20, 2009 at 04:11 am by Darrin MoirPost under:Sure enough, the bailouts created "too Gigantuous to fail" institutions in the financial world, giving them an unfair and monopolistic leg over their competitors. At the same time another 30% of banks failed recently without any intervention. Consumer choice is depleting and we are truly getting a rigid oligopoly financial system. Do you think Federal reserve members didn't see this coming? Do you think that maybe they would want to see their buddies wielding the upper hand.It is striking proof that free market economics do not cause monopolies. Favoritism and government intervention make these things happen. The government's only job is making sure that what it has now effectively created, doesn't happen. That said and done, the media is finally using buzzwords that Fiscal conservatives used to argue against the bailouts. It creates moral hazard... now they tell us.

Scientists want the government to tax all sweet products in a coercive approach to making us eat healthier. Congress wants to pass a health bill that requires by law to purchase a service from a private company. (Ps. car insurance is not the same as health insurance. Driving on the road with a vehicle is specific activity that is a possible danger to other individuals. Health insrance requires you to cover yourself from any risks for simply existing.) The only way that this becomes okay in a society is the power paradigm shifts from bottom up to top down and the citizens become assets of the state rather than the power holders.http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Financial-Industry/Fructose-in-the-firing-line
On Saturday, September 12th, over 450,000 people marched on Washington, and no major news media covered it, except conservative talk radio and conservative bloggers. Otherwise it was media blocked.
States are already feeling the strings attached to those stimulus dollars. In Education, there are a few states that won't allow their teachers to be evaluated or fired based on test scores, especially federally mandated test scores. Yet, the Obama has effectively attached a clause to billions of dollars in stimulus money for the "race to the top" program of his that requires them to step down their defensive stance of protecting their teachers from federal mandates requiring evaluations of this type. Without bowing down federal laws that require teachers to be evaluated based on standardized test results, these states become ineligible for funds. Naturally, they are scrambling to back down on their word, give up their state sovereignty, and hand more power over to the federal government in the name of a few dollars. Oh, but it's for the children, right? Yeah the same children who are going to be paying this stimulus spending for years to come.

True American History
September 17, 2009 at 09:37 pm by Dwayne FritzPost under:I either want to find or help start a group of citizens or a non-profit organization to promote True Foundational American History in our public school system. Since our federal government won't leave our schools to our states, lets take them back ourselves by teaching our children about the truth of America's founders. To require the reading and teaching of Historic documents from the Declaration of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Anti-Federalist Papers, etc. even to the point of studying Marcus Tullius Cicero's writings on Natural Law that inspired our Founders. This won't be to teach Politics but to teach the principles of our History. If there are groups out there like that, could you refer me to them or lets start something. I live in PA we could start here or anywhere.

Spread the Word
September 17, 2009 at 03:32 am by Stephanie StakerPost under:I try to talk about what is going on with government every chance I get: like at the grocery store, drug store, anywhere where there are people. I talk about liberty and freedom with my friends and try to educate them about what is really going on. If my friends and family rely on the mainstream media, there is no way they will get the truth. It is up to each of us to speak the truth.

Another Way to Look at the Nation's Economy
September 16, 2009 at 05:09 pm by Kent LalleyPost under:Here's an article I wrote that my local newspaper printed. It's about half way down under "Another Way...":
http://online.dailyamerican.com/pdf/09/07/16/07-16-09/a040716091.pdf
I try to do "something" for Liberty everyday even if it's just reading a page or two of a website like this one. If more people would just take a moment to get a better understanding of what liberty really means more would be able to "see through" the fallacies thrown at us daily. That's just my take on what would bring our country back to the foundations of liberty it was started on. I hope you might be inspired to try something on your own too. The ideas of liberty and free market economics are worthy of the effort in my opinion.May I suggest sending a FaceBook friend invite to Lawrence W. Reed, president of the Foundation for Economic Education (www.fee.org.) He's under the name "Lawrence Reed." I'll predict you'll not regret it!Kent Lalley -
Life Liberty and Proper Tea
September 15, 2009 at 06:27 pm by Bernie LeeOrganization under:I am an Englishman who lives in England, which is a distinct country being eroded by the UK and the EU. There is a growing freedom movement here that I wish to encourage, inspire and work with.
My blog offers links to the best educational material I can find on economics, history, politics and the freedom movement. It should become more biased to my part of the world but currently features mostly American sourced material.
I want to join up with like minded people and especially creative types to create multimedia materials to get the word out.
Drop by for a smoke and a cup of tea.

Rich Country - Poor Country
September 15, 2009 at 05:48 pm by Richard WalbaumArticle under:Our monetary system promotes universal struggle, poverty, and creates unpayable compounding astronomical debt that causes rising prices. By confusing the nature of money, predators have taken control of our monetary system, dominating society and deforming humanity in the process. Learn the principles of monetary system design, so that when the opportunity comes for change you will recognize it either as the answer and promote it, or as a falsehood.
Money is a creature of law; usury is the problem, gold is not the solution.
