R3s: Ron Paul’s Honesty Is Courageous.

At [recent CNN] debate, Jim Cramer, in his sweaty, too-close-at-the-party way, asked Ron Paul the following question: I'm on the frontlines of the stock market. We were down 400 points today. We're not going to be done going down if this keeps going on, if Italy keeps -- the rates keep going up. Surely you must recognize that this is a moment-to-moment situation for people who have 401(k)s and IRAs on the line and you wouldn't just let it fail, just go away and take our banking system with it? Paul, totally unruffled by the "gotcha" question, answered directly from his convictions. No, you have to let it -- you have to let it liquidate. We've had -- we took 40 years to build up this worldwide debt. We're in a debt crisis never seen before in our history.

Nothing new under the sun In the 40 some odd years since Reagan spoke those words, little did he know how close we’d let the left get to total control of our nation before we finally woke up, got off our butts, and confronted reality; the left means to replace what works best in America [...]

What IS American Culture? We Used To See It On TV

Funny how spending a generation of not teaching what America is about will produce a generation that...has no real idea what America is all about. In addition to teaching the basics of American history in schools, the heritage of the country was once considered proper subject matter for TV, even in prime time.
