A commonplace of the American Revolution held that citizens must have a love for liberty and a willingness to sacrifice and fight for it. Otherwise, no paper constitution alone can ever preserve their freedom. Today, it is becoming equally commonplace that this spirit of liberty is leaving Americans, that we are becoming “a nation of sheep,” as Judge Andrew Napolitano puts it in a new book, who acquiesce in the progressive abrogation of our Constitution and liberty. This is plausibly attributed to several factors: mass affluence, cultural decadence, the loss of religious faith. But I believe one major factor has been seriously overlooked: the breakdown of the family and the ...

At Ain't It Cool News an entertainment news website based out of Austin Texas, there has been a talk back with Sylvester Stallone, the last one, January 14th, was titled, "Answering Questions Is As Easy As Breathing - Sly Answers Back!" Here, Stallone himself answered ten questions from his fans. One fan Dr. H from Los Angeles offers insight into the mind of an average American. He asks why Rambo doesn't fight a real enemy in the latest Rambo movie, "I always assumed that if Rambo returned he'd be taking on the real villain of this day: extreme, radical Islamist bastards hellbent on worldwide jihad...they are clearly the bad guys in the real world right ...

As a bomb explodes in Beirut and Israel kills 19 in Gaza raids, Bush takes his Middle East peace mission to Saudi Arabia (and signs off $20bn weapons deal with repressive regime) Published: 16 January 2008 Twixt silken sheets – in a bedroom whose walls are also covered in silk – and in the very palace of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, President George Bush awakes this morning to confront a Middle East which bears no relation to the policies of his administration nor the warning which he has been relaying constantly to the kings and emirs and oligarchs of the Gulf: that Iran rather than Israel is their enemy. The President sat chummily beside the all-too-friendly monarch ...

Subprime Nation Posted: January 14, 2008 9:29 p.m. Eastern Since it began to give credit ratings to nations in 1917, Moody's has rated the United States triple-A. U.S. Treasury bonds have been seen as the most secure investment on earth. When crises erupt, nervous money seeks out the world's great safe harbor, the United States. That reputation is now in peril. Last week, Moody's warned that if the United States fails to rein in the soaring cost of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the nation's credit rating will be down-graded within a decade. Our political parties seem oblivious. Republicans, save Ron Paul, are all promising to expand the U.S. military and ...

US economic outlook 'bleak' Bernanke assured investors that the central bank will remain "exceptionally alert and flexible" [EPA] The US Federal Reserve chief has given a negative outlook for the country's economy, but assured investors that the central bank was prepared to place bold countermeasures if the situation becomes any worse. "In light of recent changes in the outlook for and the risks to growth, additional policy easing may be necessary," Ben Bernanke said on Thursday. "We stand ready to take substantive additional action as needed to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks." Bernanke's statement ...

US fails to isolate Iran from Arabs By Pakinam Amer in Cairo Iran's Ahmadinejad, left, and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah have strengthened ties and security co-operation between their two countries in recent weeks [GALLO/GETTY] George Bush, the US president, has urged Arab states to think of Iran as the greatest threat to their security, but his warnings are likely to fall on deaf ears in the Middle East. During a stop in the United Arab Emirates on his Middle East tour on Sunday, Bush called Tehran a "sponsor of terror" and urged Arab allies to confront Iranian "extremism". But Middle East analysts say the US ...

Iran lashes out at Bush's speech against Tehran www.chinaview.cn 2008-01-14 23:21:17 Print Special Report: Iran Nuclear Crisis TEHRAN, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Iran on Monday lashed out at U.S. President George W. Bush's recent speech that accused Tehran of the world's "leading state sponsor of terror." "Bush's statements are the signs of desperation, hopelessness and the sense of failure in his last months of presidency," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said in a statement. He said that Bush has failed to acquire the consent of the Islamic and Arab countries in the region due to his "unilateral support of the Zionist regime ...
We fight for freedom - or “What if someone else did it to us?”

We fight for freedom - or “What if someone else did it to us?” It’s been eight years now. Eight long years. Sure, initially I was glad when China toppled the Bush regime and executed the “retarded tyrant” as I love to call him. It wasn’t that bad at the start, but as time wore on and I realized they weren’t leaving, it started to gnaw at me. Bush declared martial law in June of 2008. This was after going nuclear on Iran and the chaos surrounding the oil shock that followed soon after. People had said he’d been planning the Iran move for a while, but the media kept pointing out how much of a threat Iran was so I guess we needed to act. He didn’t ...

(Washington Post) - President Bush's meeting with Palestinian leaders and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas got off to a great start yesterday. On an impromptu conference call with Israeli and Iranian leaders the group came to a unanimous agreement on World Peace when President Bush asked "why can't we all just get along?" The White House reports "…we almost came to an agreement that would bring World Peace and Tranquillity to the world but were, thankfully, able to avoid it when President Bush broke into song singing 'Abbas dabbas dabbas dabbas dabbas ...

Region should declare Bush persona non grata - Fadlallah Daily Star staff Monday, January 14, 2008 BEIRUT: Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah said on Sunday that Arab and Muslim countries should declare US President George W. Bush persona non grata and sue him for "war crimes" against their peoples. Fadlallah's statement came as Bush was visiting Gulf Arab countries to drum up Arab support for confronting Iran and pushing forward the Middle East peace process.

Gulf Arabs know better than to follow Bush's path to confrontation with Iran By The Daily Star Monday, January 14, 2008 Editorial US President George W. Bush used his speech in Abu Dhabi on Sunday to reiterate many of the same accusations about Iran that we have heard him throw around since his first weeks in office seven years ago. Back then, Iran's president was Mohammad Khatami, a reform-minded leader whose efforts to promote inter-cultural understanding earned him the recognition of international institutions such as the United Nations, which acted on his suggestion to proclaim 2001 the Year of Dialogue Among Civilizations. The ensuing election of Khatami's hard-line ...

Diamond Bessie is the popular name given to Bessie Moore, née Annie Stone, a prostitute whose murder in the woods outside of Jefferson, Texas propelled her to the level of local legend. She was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head sometime during the early afternoon of Sunday, January 21, 1877. Her accused killer was her lover (and possibly husband), Abraham Rothschild, the dissolute son of one of the most prominent society families of the day. Bessie was born in 1854 in Syracuse, New York, and the abundance of attention from men resulting from her striking beauty is said to have led her down the proverbial "wayward path" at a young age. At 15, she left home and ...

Robert Fisk: We've all been veiled from the truth The wretched fiction of Iraq's 'success' is Blair's attempt to make us wear the veil By Robert Fisk 10/21/06 "The Independent" -- -- Yes, the film O Jerusalem - loosely based on the epic history of the birth of Israel by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins - has reached Europe (mercifully, not yet Britain) and it is everything we have come to expect of the Hollywoodisation of Europe. It is dramatic; it stars the French singer Patrick Bruel as an Israeli commander; there is a flamboyant David Ben-Gurion - all white hair defying gravity - and Saïd Taghmaoui and JJ Feild as that essential duo of all such ...

Robert Fisk: Welcome to 'Palestine' Published: 16 June 2007 How troublesome the Muslims of the Middle East are. First, we demand that the Palestinians embrace democracy and then they elect the wrong party - Hamas - and then Hamas wins a mini-civil war and presides over the Gaza Strip. And we Westerners still want to negotiate with the discredited President, Mahmoud Abbas. Today "Palestine" - and let's keep those quotation marks in place - has two prime ministers. Welcome to the Middle East. Who can we negotiate with? To whom do we talk? Well of course, we should have talked to Hamas months ago. But we didn't like the democratically elected government of the ...

Brave New Denmark - A Model For The USA?

Recently, I received an email from a former London Police officer, Philip Jones. Philip has given me permission to use his email and his full name. His powerful and highly articulate essay describes in detail what life in Denmark is like today, after living there more than ten years. Many of us have our own internal visions of what foreign countries are like which we may never have the opportunity to visit. These ideas are most often based on the media and classes in school. But it was a total surprise about what Philip had to say about Denmark and it's amazing placid lifestyle. I'll never look at a tin of Christmas cookies made in Denmark the same! Most people are quite aware that ...

Mr. Bush, we owe you our gratitude. I never thought I’d say that. Sure you’ve been great fodder for columns and cartoons and sketch comedy, but every president has supplied pundits and writers with that, and while you may have given the people a few more laughs than the previous execs, you’ve given us so much more. After seven years of the most incompetent, corrupt, arrogant, divisive—did I say incompetent—administration in the history of our nation, you’ve given the country the one thing you tried so hard to take away…hope. You did your best to kill America, and I wasn’t alone in thinking you’d done it. You ignored the Congress, denied the ...

Interactions between Civilizations and their Mutual Assistance Heartland Expanding, or The Shanghai Cooperation OrganizationBy Gen. Leonid Ivashov Global Research, January 8, 2008 Strategic Cultural FoundationThe Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) which convened in Bishkek in August, 2007, stimulated studies dedicated to the organization’s development potential. I think that it is time to back the SCO activities by an adequate modern theory. Initially, the SCO was established to resolve border disputes between China and four former Soviet Republics. It transpired subsequently that the organization had a much more ranging potential. The idea of creating a ...

America's inflated asset prices must fall By Stephen Roach Mon Jan 7, 1:05 PM ET The US has been the main culprit behind the destabilising global imbalances of recent years. America's massive current account deficit absorbs about 75 per cent of the world's surplus saving. Most believe that a weaker US dollar is the best cure for these imbalances. Yet a broad measure of the US dollar has dropped 23 per cent since February 2002 in real terms, with only minimal impact on America's gaping external imbalance. Dollar bears argue that more currency depreciation is needed. Protectionists insist that China - which has the largest bilateral trade imbalance with the US - should bear ...

India offers cheapest car on earth By Anand Giridharadas Published: January 7, 2008 MUMBAI: There was the $400 airplane seat that plummeted to $40. Then there was the $2,000 laptop reborn for $200. And now the $25,000 car has a $2,500 cousin. Every now and again in business history, a disruption comes along that breaks the conventional wisdom about cost, tweaking and paring features once thought untouchable. Likewise, the $2,500 car, scheduled for introduction Thursday by the Indian company Tata, swims against the current, with a rear-mounted engine, a trunk that fits little more than a briefcase, and plastics and adhesives replacing metal and bolts in certain nooks. (Some analysts ...

Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse. As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president. After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me. Today I have made a different choice. Of course, there seems to be little bipartisan support for impeachment. The political scene is marked by narrow and sometimes ...
