'Crisis Will Help Us Regain Power'

Echoing the sentiments of Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who stated that the economic crisis is a perfect opportunity for Liberals to seize power and expand government control over the economy, Russian Communists stated on Sunday that 'crisis will help us regain power.'

Despite the breakup of the old Soviet Union, which sent the Communists into political exile, the Russian Commies didn't really go anywhere.

Instead, they have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to seize power and regain control of the country.

This is always the modus operandi of Leftists, Socialists, and Communists. Economic disaster is never viewed as a sad source of pain for the citizens but as a delightful, golden opportunity to seize more power.

We have seen it with the likes of Barack Obama and his minions, and now we are seeing it with the old Soviet Commies.

Tom Hanks Can Take a Flying Leap...

This is precisely why I am vehemently opposed to entertainers publicly endorsing political candidates. As soon as one of our illustrious gold-brick 'stars' think they are important enough that their political opinions matter, I never view that person in the same light, particularly if they endorse someone who is entirely opposed to every single core value I espouse.

For this reason I will never go to see another Tom Hanks movie...ever.

Hanks has endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is too bad because I always thought of Hanks as a decent human being.

Not anymore.

Anyone who can endorse the likes of a gun-grabbing, rights-robbing, tax-raising Socialist like Obama must be a Socialist himself who agrees with the candidate's views. This makes Tom Hanks lower than pond scum in my book.

As far as I'm concerned the actor and others like him can take a flying leap off the highest bridge they can find...

When the Lights Went Out...

So, did you turn off all your lights between the hours of 8 and 9 PM last evening for the sake of the environment?

I didn't.

In protest, I turned all of mine on.

I did this for two primary reasons. One, I am not one of the sheeple who do as I am told simply because Socialists, environmentalist snobs, or government elitists say so. I am an adult, thank-you, and I can make my own decisions based upon what I read and study. Two, instead of forcing people either by law or by shame and guilt to give up something, why not put all of our brain cells to work developing new and sustainable energy sources?

You see, I believe that intelligent people secure sensible solutions to problems based upon human ingenuity and creativity. Imbeciles believe that the only way to solve a problem is to limit human choice and freedom.

Thus, my lights stayed on and they will continue to stay on each year the Commie-sympathizers stage this imbecilic 'lights off' showcase.

Washington: The Beautiful Sound of Silence

Whenever the U.S. Congress goes into recess, the most beautiful sounds one will hear during the entire year emanate from the nation's capital--the sound of silence.

One of those times is now. The Congress has been in recess, but will return with a vengeance on Tuesday after Labor Day.

The Founding Fathers never intended for the Congress to be a full-time job for Senators and Representatives. Perhaps the complications and complexities of modern life have necessitated that change, but I have often wondered if we would not be much better off doing it the way the Founders did it.

Congress was historically in session only as long as it took to take care of the nation's business. Elected officials then had to quickly return home to earn a living and care for families.

Today, Congress is in session so much that it sometimes appears they create for themselves work to do, particularly in that massive and cumbersome monster of a pseudo-government they created called 'the federal bureaucracy.'

Federal bureaucrats are ultimately dependent on Congress granting them the funds and the means to meddle more and more in the affairs of the citizens. Without the meddlesome task of regulating the lives, the property, and the businesses of private citizens, these bureaucrats would have nothing to do.

It is without doubt the ultimate insult, the most ill-informed point of view, and the most blatant display of ignorance to judge an elected representative by 'how many bills they introduced.' Rather, the thing I wish to know is how successful was my Congressman or Senator in stopping legislation from being passed.

We have enough laws on the books as it is, most of which are never enforced, such as the nation's specific and thorough anti-illegal alien laws. Why, then, do we need more laws unless those particular laws expand liberty for the citizens rather than restrict and regulate?

A pet peeve of mine concerning the upcoming formal announcement of Fred Thompson as a candidate for President revolves around this very issue. Critics maintain that 'Thompson is not known for introducing legislation when he was a Senator.'

Well, HALLELUJAH! Amen! We should be celebrating that fact rather than bemoaning it!

The fact that Fred Thompson is not known for getting more laws passed in Congress is a key indication that he adheres to the philosophy of Jefferson--'the government that governs best governs least.'

A politician who adheres to the philosophy of the Founding Fathers is not going to be known for the legislation he or she passes. Rather, they will be known for legislative restraint.

Socialists such as Ted 'Senator Blowhard' Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, John Kerry, and company are the ones who have a corner on 'introducing legislation' that subjects the citizens to more restrictions and regulations. In fact, let them wear that badge of 'honor'--horror would be more like it.

And since this is the gang that controls Congress at present, although with only 16% of the public approving of the job they are doing, it is a good thing--a VERY good thing--that they are out of town on recess. If only they could stay out of town a bit longer.

Thus, when the present Congress is not in session, it is time to stop and count our blessings. For every day they miss work we don't have to worry about more and more cumbersome regulations and 'new legislation' designed to delve us ever deeper into the 'nanny state.'

Washington can actually be a very beautiful place--when the halls of Congress are silent.

This Could Happen Here

Washington, DC (TLS). Germany persecutes parents who homeschool their children. Although homeschooling is allowed in most of Europe, under heavy government regulation, Germany on the other hand requires all children under the age of 16 to attend its state-run schools.

The German regulations on education date back to Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime when the Third Reich feared that citizens may teach their children anti-government views if allowed to teach them at home.

Apparently the Nazi mindset on education is still very much alive in Germany.

And woe be unto you if your reasoning for wishing to homeschool your children has anything to do with religion!

This mindset exists in the U.S. among the Leftist elites who view European Socialism as the model for American government. At least two of these sorts are running for President--Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.

George Soros Exposed: Hillary's Power Behind the Throne

Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere has previously reported on the ominous maneuvering of billionaire and Democrat operative George Soros and his 'shadow party' that works behind the scenes to manipulate a victory for Hillary Clinton in 2008.

As we reported, Soros is the biggest single-source contributor to the Democrat Party and the 527s that fund them, having spent over 100 million dollars of his own money. He has been a close confidante of Hillary Clinton for years and has a vested interest in getting her elected President. If he succeeds in accomplishing his goal, he can then use her to unleash a massive, ominous attack on the core values of American society and its Constitution--a document that Soros has never failed to trash. By destroying the foundation that undergirds American liberty, he and his gang of thugs, including Hillary, can rebuild America from the ground up into a massive European-styled Socialist nation.

Thus, the freedom of the individual will forever be subservient to the 'common good.' The 'common good' is always the excuse given by Commies and Socialists to rob citizens of their individual rights.

Back in 2004, the Wall Street Journal ran a detailed expose of George Soros. The Liberty Sphere has uncovered that article from the archives. You can read the entire report by clicking on the link below. This is a MUST-read!
