This hit piece in the New Republic interested me very much for two reasons:  I admire Senator Cruz very much and came out early for him in the primary last year.  He’s a sovereignty guy and very good on liberty issues so far. But I also am interested in the “native born” clause of the [...]

It would be a really great idea if we could get an idea of what people thought and various leanings and the feelings of various groups of citizens. And it would also be wonderful if we had a way to tell if politicians were lying, being truthful or spinning a “fact” to make it seem [...]

The RTD has a reader comment feature called Two Cents, where citizens can give brief opinions on a variety of topics.  Today’s RTD on Dead Tree had a great one from C. E. Herndon from Chester, VA.  I’d link it but my brief attempt at finding it on line proved fruitless. Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine claims the Tea Party movement will set this nation back 10 years.  Ten years ago, gas was $1.59 a gallon.I was getting 3 to 5 percent raises, my health insurance was $10 a week, and my 401(k) grew by hundreds.  And, there was no 9/11–we all felt safer then.  We didn’t have a president who went around the world bowing and apologizing because we are the greatest nation on Earth.  Thank you, Tim Kaine, for helping me to me make up my mind to join the Tea Party movement.

Our Socialist leaning President has nothing but praise for Europe’s humanitarian treatment of it’s citizens. Health care, employer mandates, taxes, taxes and more taxes. We should be just like them! But for now, we will just borrow the money and put it on a tab to be paid back with interest at a later date.

So, just how long must a single man in the UK work to have all these “free” benefits?
