When you read quotes from H.L. Mencken and John D. Rockefeller from over a century ago describing how government schools, in conspiracy with Big Business, had the sole purpose of matriculating non-thinking, non-questioning, standardized robotic workers into the workforce, you understand why the country is in such a state of degeneracy, degradation, debt, and dumbed down state of infantilism. This didn’t happen over night. It was a plan implemented methodically over the last century by those controlling the levers of society. They were described succinctly by Edward Bernays in his 1928 book Propaganda as: “Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism...

Philosophers and career-thinkers from academia have a place. I can appreciate their zeal and gift for boundless thought. I can even realize that some of their ideas may shape our future for the better. I draw the line however, at giving them stewardship or power over policies that directly affect the country. Policies should come from practical, time tested sources, not radical ideas from people whose purpose is to think of new ways of doing things. Thinkers are mostly just that -- thinkers, not doers. There is a huge gap of scrutiny and trial & error before an idea should...

After looking at some of the pictures of some hezbollah rallys I noticed someone holding a sign with the name Islamic Thinkers Society so I decided to investigate on what this organization was and what it was about. This is what I have found: First off looking at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Thinkers_Society "The Islamic Thinkers Society is an American extremist Islamic group that seeks the goal of restoring the Islamic Caliphate to create what they call "an ideal Islamic society." Located mainly in Jackson Heights, Queens, they have gained controversy for their close ties to terrorist incidents in the United States after...

The mainstream media has recently begun a quest to answer puzzling questions. What is this "internet business", and why do those "blog" guys post there? If they don't get paid like we do, why do they bother? And why are they being taken seriously? After all, WE are the ones who have our press passes and our official government-agent decoder-rings. After watching, on the 24 hour cable shows, an endless stream of guest panels- all comprised of journalists interviewing themselves, I thought that I'd take a stab at answering them myself. Why do we post? We post because you "journalists"...

The Smoke Screen Politics of the Liberal Left   “It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”   Quote by:  Ronald Wilson Reagan – 40th President of the United States   Ain’t it the truth? Everyday the rhetoric from John Kerry becomes more flatulent and monotonous.  He’s become a broken record of self-exaltation without form and void of any semblance of National focus. We, as Conservatives, understand his tactic- keep a sound-bite assault going to defray any need to address the issues.  The problem...
