”Our government is wiping its a– with the Constitution. We’ve got four Supreme Court justices who don’t believe in the Constitution. Does everybody here know that four of the Supreme Court justices not only determined you don’t have the right to keep and bear arms, four Supreme Court justices signed their name to a declaration that Americans have no fundamental right to self-defense? That sounds like a stoned hippie. That doesn’t sound like a Supreme Court anything.” – Ted Nugent, April 17, 2012

Last year, almost 1,800 people followed Superman’s lead, renouncing their U.S. citizenship or handing in their Green Cards. That’s a record number since the Internal Revenue Service began publishing a list of those who renounced in 1998. It’s also almost eight times more than the number of citizens who renounced in 2008, and more than the total for 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined.

“this is just a gimmick. Just taxing millionaires and billionaires”-Obama
“There are others who are saying: ‘Well, this is just a gimmick. Just taxing millionaires and billionaires, just imposing the Buffett Rule, won’t do enough to close the deficit,’. Well, I agree.” President Obama, April 11, 2012

“There are two fundamentally opposed means whereby man, requiring sustenance, is impelled to obtain the necessary means for satisfying his desires. These are work and robbery, one’s own labor and the forcible appropriation of the labor of others.… I propose … to call one’s own labor and the equivalent exchange of one’s own labor for the labor of others, the ‘economic means’ for the satisfaction of needs, while the unrequited appropriation of the labor of others will be called the ‘political means.'” ~ Franz Oppenhiemer
According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, this disparity in punishment violates the “promise” of “equity.”
The Big Hoax,
By Thomas Sowell, March 14, 2012 — There have been many frauds of historic proportions — for example,
the financial pyramid scheme for which Charles Ponzi was sent to prison in the 1920s,
and for which Franklin D. Roosevelt was praised in the 1930s, when he called it Social
Security. In our own times, Bernie Madoff’s hoax has made headlines.But the biggest hoax of the past two generations is still going strong — namely, the
hoax that statistical differences in outcomes for different groups are due to the way
other people treat those groups.The latest example of this hoax is the joint crusade of the Department of Education
and the Department of Justice against schools that discipline black males more often
than other students. According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, this disparity
in punishment violates the “promise” of “equity.” … more at TownHall.com
the White House will be occupied by a downright moron.
“As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more
and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and
glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire
at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright moron.”
H. L. Mencken, born 1880, died 1956. Baltimore Evening Sun,

A businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge, his productive ability … A bureaucrat’s success depends on his political pull.
A businessman’s success depends on his intelligence, his knowledge,
his productive ability, his economic judgment—and on the voluntary
agreement of all those he deals with: his customers, his suppliers, his
employees, his creditors or investors. A bureaucrat’s success depends
on his political pull. A businessman cannot force you to buy his product;
if he makes a mistake, he suffers the consequence. ~ Ayn Rand
In all countries, in all centuries, the primary reason for government to set up schools is to undermine the politically weak by convincing their children that the leaders are good and their policies are wise.

The core is religious intolerance. The sides simply change between
Atheists, Catholics, Protestants, Unitarians, etc., depending whether
you are talking about the Soviet Union, the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
America, etc. A common second reason is to prepare the boys to go
to war and the girls to cheer them on.” ~ Marshall W. Fritz (1943 -2008)

Please Do Not Feed the Animals because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.
The Dept. of Agriculture runs the food stamp program which helps people buy food and patronize fast food places, etc.
The National Park Service posts signs that say “Please Do Not Feed the Animals because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.”
This seeming irony is resolved simply by noting that the Park Service animals can’t vote.
