“Aren’t investments those things that people make after they’ve paid all their necessary expenses in the present and paid off all their debts for past purchases? That’s how we define investments in our family. There have been times when either my husband or I have taken an extra odd job just to have a bit to add to an investment fund. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single time when we used bread money or bill money to invest in anything extra. So President Barack Obama has either lost his bearings completely or else he fully intends — as long as he’s in the driver’s seat — to drive our little economic dune buggy off the cliff to the place where civilizations go to die. Are we still on the car-in-the-ditch metaphor? It’s hard to keep track.”

To talk glibly about spending more money on “high-speed rail” when the national debt has just passed a milestone, by exceeding the total value of our annual output, for the first time in more than half a century, is world-class chutzpa. The last time the U.S. national debt exceeded the value of our entire annual output, it was due to the cost of fighting World War II.

When World War II ended, in less than four years of American participation, we began paying down the national debt. But our current national debt has been expanding by leaps and bounds in peacetime — and with no sign of an end in sight for the next decade.

Since more than 40 percent of our national debt is owed to foreigners, this means that goods and services produced by Americans, equal in value to more than 40 percent of our current output, will have to be sent overseas, free of charge, by either this generation or the generations that follow.

Speaking of trillions of dollars, Bob Marcks, in a letter to the Wall Street Journal, clarified the issue for people who are easily confused when numbers go beyond hundreds and thousands. One million seconds, he pointed out, is approximately 11.5 days. One billion seconds, on the other hand, is about 32 years, and one trillion seconds is more than 30,000 years!

Obama has raised the national debt by about four trillion dollars in just two years, and the Democrats think that’s fine and dandy. But they start screaming when the Republicans talk about cutting federal spending by, say, 500 billion dollars by 2020. But if you think of it not in dollars, but in years, it’s much easier to get a handle on the enormity of the numbers that promise to bury this country. Using this other measurement, as provided by Mr. Marcks, it would mean that while Obama added 120,000 years just since early 2009, the Democrats have a hissy fit when the GOP suggests reducing that total by a scant 15,000 years over the entire next decade.

Perhaps the mainstream media news organizations should no longer be called news organizations. Perhaps a better name would be narrative shapers. If there is one certainty that exists today, it is the idea that truth has become a sidebar to political agendas. CBS and others operate one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase with the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s immortal contention that “everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

-(Ammoland.com)- While anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is sending a moving billboard truck around the country claiming that 34 Americans are “murdered with guns every day,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the mayor is selectively ignoring the hundreds of lives saved every day because firearms are there when needed.

The truth no one wants to face up to is that we cannot start rebuilding America until we hit bottom and admit that we no longer have a republic, that our government is corrupt and out of control, that our Constitution has become irrelevant to our rulers and that our debt can never be repaid. As I have said so often, most people do not love truth; instead, they try to make true that which they love.

A LIST
If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

Ammoland.com The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is urging its members to contact the Senate and demand a full and open inquiry into a controversial gun trafficking sting operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that may be linked to the December slaying of a federal peace officer.

Let me do their job for them. Aside from the assemblage of administration thugs willing to sell our most reliable ally down the river, who knew what, and when did they know it? How many Senate Democrats were aware, as the Telegraph explained, that “the US agreed to hand over (to Russia) the serial numbers of Trident missiles it transfers to Britain?” How many Republicans? The second question is far more important. The Democrats are a party seamlessly allied to progressive causes, no matter how detrimental they are to America’s well-being. The Republicans, on the other hand, are supposed to be the antidote to that alliance, an antidote for which the American electorate unambiguously expressed its preference last November.

Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, “We don’t know how lucky we are.” And the Cuban stopped and said, “How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to.” And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
