Commentary on The News
By Nathan A. Barton © 2011 Quick Comment: Congress in action - Theft by
government
Americans May Come to the Capitol ‘With Pitchforks and Torches,’ Senator Hatch Warns (CNS News.com) Can we pray that this day will come sooner than later? (And that those with the pitchforks and torches are protected by fellow Americans with AK-47s and AR-15s and handguns.) Maybe Hatch is reflecting (for once) the values and views of most of the people of Utah and other western states? I recently read “Term Limits” by Vince Flynn, written in 1997; except for the debt and deficit (ONLY $5 trillion and $100 billion) it could have been written this year as it describes the mess - it is very similar to a much more recent book called “An Act of Self-Defense” by Erne Lewis (which is a much more libertarian novel, BTW). Eventually, some people WILL decide either or the torch-and-pitchfork-and-tar” routine or the less complex shoot-em-all method. The theft has got to stop (and also BTW, Hatch STILL doesn’t understand that bandages won’t work, when amputation is the only way.) (Read

Wars: Episode II Surviving in the
Desert
By Nathan Barton © 2011 But what we REALLY have to ask ourselves is WHY
is the FedGov doing
this? It isn't just to suck up to the First Lady, it is because
the Food Sector is one of the next and SIGNIFICANT targets for MORE
government control and "intervention." We have seen hundreds of
stories in recent months about the coming "food crisis" and the need
for "food security" and the tempo has been building. We are told
that corn and soybean use for fuel is driving world food prices (forget
inflation and petroleum food prices, of course), and that "greedy
capitalists" are responsible, just as they were for failed medical
care, failed banks, and failed everything-else.

Taking a Nap By Susan Callaway, RN The afternoon nap, or siesta, is woven into human history. Almost every culture and climate has its own tradition of this healthful practice. Only recently has it gone out of favor for anyone except young children and the elderly, but once it was common all over the world at almost any age. Sadly, in far too many cases, our hectic lifestyles even rob the children of their necessary and healthful naps. Between overstimulation - on so many fronts - to serious emotional trauma and family instability, children are increasingly faced with troubled lives; no time or place for peace, security and a quiet nap. Symptoms include ongoing irritability, increased conflict with peers and adults, poor eating and elimination, nightmares and refusal to go to bed at all. Eventually, they do fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion, but they are highly unlikely to get the deep and peaceful sleep they need in that case.

the news about freedom is bad … when you’re tempted to say, “Screw it”
and give up hope, remember:
We are a silent army. An army of the mind. An army without hierarchy, without officers, without commands. We are an army of the intellect and the spirit that can never be targeted, bombed, or shot into submission. We are invisible, which sometimes discourages us, but which is our secret strength. (Read

Laissez Faire There - The Gilded Age
By Sheldon Richman Friends of the free market tend to see the
Gilded Age, roughly 1870-1890, as the closest thing in history to a
laissez-faire economy. In some respects that is true — but it’s not
saying much because the bar is low. I’d rather we didn’t mark on a
curve. The period could be closest to laissez faire without being
terribly close. (In important respects, including the legal
status of blacks, women, and others, the period compares rather poorly
with our time.)
It would be surprising if the Gilded Age had been marked by genuinely free markets for the simple reason that it followed a major war. War, Randolph Bourne wrote, is the health of the State. He meant this in a spiritual sense. In war people who were previously busy with their own individual and community lives suddenly develop a new-found awe for the State and the nation it claims to embody.

The Race Card is so last century By Garry Reed Calling someone a racist for merely disagreeing
with something relating to Barrack Obama is lazy at best and just plain
stupid at worst.
First, it’s blatantly inaccurate. Barack Obama is the son of a black father and a white mother. That means anyone slapping the race card on you for disagreeing with him is playing with half a deck. to be accurate, he would have to call you a "Half Racist," a charge that would show him up as the halfwit that he is.
