"There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation.” – James Madison

James Madison was a rich man and owned 100s of slaves. He lived by the motto,"Money talks, bullshit walks." He believed that the primary duty of government is to protect the rich from the poor.

Our Constitution was written to defend our country from presidents exactly like Obama. Our current problem is that so many citizens, politicians and media care less about the Constitution than Obama's agenda so they ignore the violations and in fact support the lawless acts. Barack and Michelle are dining on meat flown in fresh from Japan today just for them, pinching themselves that it was so easy.

As former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan quipped, “Quite frankly it does not matter who is president as far as the Fed is concerned. There are no other agencies that can overrule the action we take.”’

By Kevin MacDonald – Grant Smith, writing at Antiwar.com provides an enlightening account of the nomination of Stanley Fischer as Vice-Chair of the Federal Reserve (“AIPAC’s Fed Candidate Stanley Fischer on a Warpath against Iran: Dual-citizen nominee’s lifetime benefit to Israel comes at a heavy cost to America“).

When I first read that Fischer was a possibility, my only thought was something like “Can’t we find anyone who’s not Jewish to fill a post like that?” After all, the Chair of Federal Reserve has been Jewish since 1987, Janet Yellen, the present vice-chair, will likely be the next chair, and Yellen’s predecessor was Donald L. Kohn.

Yep, the Fed needs to be flushed and Congress should do it's job and control monetary policy. After this year's votes are in the GOP will control Congress.

Alan Greenspan was Ayn Rand on steroids.

And we can say the same about the tea baggers............

Using a term such as "teabaggers" indicates not only an affection for dumb leftist labels, but more importantly a failure to deem any viewpoint but your own worthy of serious attention.

Had you ever seen where Marx wrote, and pondered his ideas, perhaps you would be sufficiently mature to realize they reflected a different view of the relationship of the individual to the collective.

The fact that I disagree with Marx doesn't mean he shouldn't have thought seriously about the endless tension between the One and the Many.

The contempt the Left has, and their rudeness, betrays their utter failure to accept real diversity (which is intellectual).

Elkin, are you gay like Grog and Clownsicker?

If so, please shut up about it.

Now, on to business.

Young master Elkin, if you had half a brain in your head, you'd endeavor to fathom what I wrote above.

When you use labels such as "teabagger," you merely show how intellectually lazy you are. They may seem witty on some leftist site, but they are not.

Can you think beyond clichés?
