Here's why:

Because absolutely uneducated, unqualified, reprehensible animals are administrating and running the classrooms.

Federal stimulus dollars intended for job creation in Oakland, California were spent instead on trips to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and a Concord water park, rent, church repairs, bus passes, sala

Perhaps it begins to crumble...

From the New York Times:

"Poll Finds Tea Party Backers Wealthier and More Educated"

Ban the Following:

Although it is probably too soon to say that the fact that the Federal government has subsidized failing American automakers has CAUSED them to become substandard, we have eloquent proof at least that

And it was a featured concept in the 9/11 Commission Report. Not a Ron Paul fiction. Unintended consequences, as established by foreign policy experts.

To those who, with glee, repeat slander against Tea Partiers:

The answer is context.

The largest danger to America right now is from within.

As the Frankenstein Obama Healthcare bill draws nearer to the final round of back room deals and dubious power grabs to obtain the votes it needs to pass, an Associated Press article has this to say:

Civil Disobedience

(1817-1862)

Passion and emotions just cloud the issues. My position is that holding emotions in check is essential, ESPECIALLY when discussing contentious issues that can get very emotional.

Evidently, Ayn Rand's "We The Living" was shot as a film in Italy around WWII.

The film was buried once authorities understood that it was not a mere anti-Russia propaganda piece.

Despite US Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner's statements that we have reached the bottom of the recession, there is compelling evidence which suggests that we are only getting warmed up for the real crash.

Without getting into too much detail, there are some persuasive bits of evidence which suggest that financially, America is in for it, and it is going to continue to get worse.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

"Foes of smoking can finally exhale. After decades of attempts, the U.S.

Okay, I cannot help it.

The premise of the video is "last call" at a bar/pub/tavern and the point of view is that of a woman.

I just read a recent issue of the news magazines Time and Newsweek.

The Associated Press Reports: "The Democratic-controlled House approved a budget blueprint drawn to President Barack Obama's specifications Thursday and the Senate hastened to follow suit after admini

Reuters reports "The Obama administration on Tuesday mounted a full-scale push for government authority to shut down troubled institutions like insurer AIG to avoid the need for future bailouts."

I think it is important not to allow the hi-jacking of concepts.

I have seen a few folks apparently misunderstand what Ayn Rand meant by the term "concrete-bound mentalities."

Any government program costs more taxpayer money.
