It doesn’t hurt to read this several times. Let us do everything that we can do to insure that this is not our obituary! In 1887, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.. From that moment on, the majority always

How can you tell when a politician is lying? It’s easy. They’re lying when their lips are moving! The Soviet Union used to use what is called “the Big Lie” technique for brainwashing their people … and the world. Actually, “the Big Lie” technique may have begun with Adolf Hitler who referred to it in his “Mein Kampf” and was used regularly by his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. “A big lie, repeated long enough, eventually becomes the truth. It has to be “so colossal that no one would believe that someone could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” Sadly,

Pro-Amnesty Group Boycotts Georgia
May 5th, 2011
A nonprofit group, calling itself the U.S. Human Rights Network is moving its biannual conference out of Georgia following the passage of House Bill 87, Georgia’s anti-illegal immigration legislation. Founded by leftist organizations including the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International USA, and the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Network claimed it had planned on hosting its conference in Atlanta, bringing around 600 visitors to the area in December. The Network plans to continue boycotting Georgia (although, it appears they’ll still be headquartered there) until the legislation is tossed out. A spokesperson from the Governor’s office confirmed

Demand Better Candidates From All Political Parties
April 28th, 2011
This nation cannot survive many more years of incompetent, self-serving buffoons or radical, extremist politicians. Unfortunately, for decades, the Republican party’s only goal has been to put an ass in a chair. Their litmus test for a candidate had nothing to do with intelligence, integrity, but only whether he or she could win. And that’s how we ended up with Obama. In these troubled times, we need superior candidates, not retreads like Gingrich or clowns like Donald Trump. If you are impressed with Trump’s remarks, then vote for his speech writer. Trump doesn’t have a clue. America needs candidates who
