This is a great little video on the dangers of ‘isms and the benefits of true liberty (something we’ve been sorely missing for decades since ‘isms have promised the public everything we need and it’s oh so nice to be taken care of.

Thank goodness President Obama promised to make cuts in the budget (snicker).

Obama's budget cuts

After getting laughed at for this idiocy, he proposed to increase the budget cuts to $17 billion. Amazingly, ABC news did some real reporting for a change and caught him in his deception from when he was debating McCain and said McCain’s $18 billion budget cut plan was insufficient. Watch Jake Tapper’s report here:

If you’ve never read the relatively short essay by Frederick Bastiat entitled, “The Law”, you owe it to your country to do so. His essay helps elucidate the basic freedoms of man and how socialism is the true path to slavery. You can read The Law online for free or start listening to it by clicking the Youtube video below. If you like it go to Youtube and search for “Bastiat The Law Griffin” and you can listen to the other 8 segments in turn. Each segment is about 10 minutes and is read by Ed Griffin (author of The Creature from Jekyll Island). I like Ed’s reading of the text better than other versions I’ve heard.

Mark Perry runs a great blog called Carpe Diem and I encourage you to check out some of the things he posts.  This particular link will show you the Google hits and Amazon books sales graphs for the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

If you haven’t read the book (and as of this post I haven’t, but it’s sitting next to my bedside waiting for me to finish up the book “Blink”), it is a novel published in 1957 that was an expose on socialism and the loss of individual rights.  It begins with a simple question, “Who is John Galt?”  If you’ve seen that on a tax party day sign, this is the source.

Here is a video with pictures of Ayn and quotes from the book.  The quotes go too fast to read them completely so you’ll have to pause the video periodically.

Al Gore never ceases to amaze.  Solving global warming will now take care of all our problems…  We’ve got to fix this NOW!

Gore told a House hearing that the Democratic bill that would limit carbon dioxide and other pollution linked to a warming of the earth will simultaneously solve the problems of the climate, economy and national security.
