This was made in a presentation where Mike pointed out that water resources were becoming scarce around the world and that the use of it to produce alternative fuels was foolish in light of the abundance of natural gas.
Are You Next On The Government’s Hit List?
from Off The Grid News
Just for the record, I want to make it clear that I don’t like scumbag terrorists… no matter who they are, which side of the political spectrum they claim to be from, or what voices they hear in their head that tell them to blow buildings and people up. As far as I’m concerned, people who do what Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma City or the Beltway...

This is the only way to change the system
by Simon Black
Late in the evening on November 4, 1605, an English soldier named Guy Fawkes took up his position deep in the cellars beneath the House of Lords in London’s Westminster Palace. He was armed with 36 barrels of gunpowder and intended to blow up the building, taking King James and most Members of Parliament with it.
Fawkes was discovered hours later, just after midnight on...
Ron Paul Foreign Policy Gaining Traction
by Sam Rolley
Ron Paul released a statement on his website that says he supports the pre-9/11 foreign policy views of President George W. Bush.
“I think one way for us to end up being viewed as the ugly American is for us to go around the world saying ‘we do it this way, so should you,’” Bush said during an October 2000 debate.
The then-Presidential candidate went on to say that the United...

Dickens Must Be Spinning In His Grave
by John Myers
My two Christmas wishes are that Santa were real and money could be created out of thin air. The media tell me they can come true; I just have to believe in the President.
They warn of a dastardly Scrooge promoted by the Tea Party ruse. But if Barack Obama has his way, we will be stuck with him for another 1,800 days.
To see his dream come true, Obama Claus is working day and...
“If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.”
Congressional staff gives Constitution new meaning
by Bob Unruh
The Congressional Research Service, the research arm of Congress, has launched a defense of Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility with a 50-page report that “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” author Jerome Corsi has described as a “polemic aimed at convincing readers” Obama meets the requirements to be president.
Shortly after Obama took office,...

from The Blaze
Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey criticized members of the Houston Texans for not putting their hands over their hearts during the national anthem, calling their inaction “kind of offensive.”
Shockey says he saw “about 10 players” who didn’t do the traditional gesture when the anthem is played, and he told some of them how he felt during Carolina’s 28-13 victory.

The Left's United States of Anarchy
by David Horowitz
The United States of Anarchy. That is the left’s vision for America. And we see that vision being becoming reality in the Occupy Wall Street movement. This dark carnival of rape, cop-hating, dope dealing, and even murder has been endorsed by the Democratic Party establishment and even the President himself, because it supports their class warfare agenda. ...

What Is Normal?
by Bob Livingston
“I like Ron Paul’s ideas on the economy, but I can’t vote for him because he’s an isolationist on foreign policy. He’s a kook (or naïve, or nuts or insert your own word) on foreign affairs.” That’s a common theme heard in discussions about the Republican Presidential aspirants.
What that means is that pushing Middle Eastern countries around and imposing our will on them is...

by Roy Beck
The most recent polling finds that Republican voters have elevated Newt Gingrich to presidential frontrunner status.
But it is difficult to believe that those supporting him agree with his amnesty plan or are even aware that his proposal sounds like it would give U.S. jobs and residency to around 3.5 million illegal aliens (according to a new Pew Hispanic Center study.

Congress Still Trying To Kill The Internet
by Bob Livingston
The fascists in both political parties have lost control of their messaging. The wealth of freely exchanged information on the Internet has divested them of their primary means of propaganda: the corporate media. They are working very hard to regain control.
That’s what’s behind two bills in Congress: the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) in the House and the Protect IP Act...
Obama's Campaign Record

When President Obama visited to Scranton it mark his 56th event in an electoral swing state this year. It’s a record unmatched by any of his predecessors.

Since 9/11, there have been 33 terror plots targeting the U.S. military; 70% have come since mid-2009. In fact, the DOD now considers America the most dangerous place for service members outside of foreign war zones. This past June, two men allegedly plotted to attack a Seattle, Washington, military installation using guns and grenades. In July, an Army private was...

RINOS To the Left of Me

Last summer Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-The Tanning Bed) played golf with President Barack Obama (D-George Soros’ pocket). In and of itself, a little time on the links is hard to criticize. We all know the old saw: A day on the golf course is better than a day listening to Obama read Alinskyite babble off the nearest teleprompter. I say that with the expectation that...

American Tyranny

It’s no secret that tyranny in America is on the rise.
Tyranny has been advancing for decades ever since the Federal Reserve got a toe-hold in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law.
But since 9/11, tyranny in America has been on a fast-track — and the Constitution has become a virtual relic to be interpreted and...
