There are two ways to conquer & enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.” John Adams 1826
There are two ways to conquer & enslave a nation.
One is by the sword.
The other is by debt.”

There is all the difference in the world … between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar
“There is all the difference in the world … between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar: First, 90 percent of us agreeing to impose taxes on ourselves in order to help the bottom 10 percent, and second, 80 percent voting to impose taxes on the top 10 percent to help the bottom 10 percent.
The first may be wise or unwise, and effective or ineffective way to help the disadvantaged – but it is consistent with the belief in both equality of opportunity and liberty. The second seeks equality of outcome and is ENTIRELY ANTITHETICAL TO LIBERTY.” ~ Milton Friedman
The President’s Dictionary problem
“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,”- President Obama, August 2012
The President has a clear misunderstanding of the meaning of “give”. Give means voluntary. No one is stopping these “wealthy, successful Americans” from “giving something back.”
the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government
is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the
stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” ~ Ayn Rand

Dr Bellar, sums up Obamacare in one long sentence – candidate State Senate in the Illinois 18th District
“So let me get this straight. This is a long sentence. We are going to be gifted with a healthcare plan that we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which reportedly covers ten million more people without adding a single new doctor, but provides for sixteen thousand new IRS agents,written by a committee whose chairman doesn’t understand it, passed by congress, that didn’t read it, but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief,who didn’t pay hos taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benifits take effect, by a government which has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke. So what the blank could possibly go wrong?”
DNC Charlotte requires ID even just near the convention. Racist? Bigoted? Unforgiving?
The DNC in Charlotte requires ID even to be just near the convention area, let alone to enter. No matter if you live there. Isn’t this suppression? Bigoted? Racist?
Where is the Federal Court worried about strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor?
The irony. The hypocrisy.
Pedestrians walking to their home or business that falls into a restricted area will be required to provide identification when the road is closed. Passenger (as opposed to commercial) vehicles attempting to enter streets with restricted vehicle access must go through a vehicle checkpoint.
What type of identification is required?
A standard issued government ID is requested.
“better suited for the last century…You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV”. Mr. Obama
“[The Republican Convention was] better suited for the last century…You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV”. Mr. Obama, September 1, 2012
Mr. Obama fails to realize that FREEDOM IS TIMELESS. Of course, the policies of freedom and liberty of the 20th century were much more suitable for the twenty-first century than the policies of the 19th century and Karl Marx.
Federal Court: Voter ID laws impose “strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor”
A Federal Court in Washington DC ruled today that the Texas voter ID law that requires voters to present a photo ID imposes “strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor”.
We presume that requirements to show your ID will no longer be permissible at airports, at bars, at banks, at passport offices, at liquor stores, at state licensing bureaus, when buying cigarettes, when buying cold medicine, when enrolling in a university or college or starting a business. In short, no one will no longer be able to ask for IDs to verify identity or age.
