It's bad enough that those living under the heal of tyranny have their God-given rights suppressed,  but one expects to hear of this transpiring in less-developed countries that have never really known freedom to begin with.  However, things have really gotten out of hand when those living in the United States have to fear for their livelihoods for speaking out against abridgements of liberty

In a recent campaign stop, McCain told the crowd that he had recently spoken to Georgia's embattled president, Mr. Saakashvili. In an attempt to burnish his foreign policy credentials at a time when Obama was cooling off with shaved ices in his native Hawaii, McCain did not mince words with his tough guy rhetoric towards Russia. He referred to Saakashvili as an old friend, and communicated to

Presidents Don’t Vacation During Wartime

The Russian-Georgian conflict, in addition to the primary destruction it’s causing, also has the unintended consequence of playing into the hands of the McCain candidacy. McCain can claim experience, refer to meetings he’s had with the leaders of the protagonist nations, and without crowing about his own military service, remind voters of it simply by his presence on the stage.

Let’s clear away the haze of inertia that’s kept us passive as life altering changes occurred in almost indiscernible increments:

The tax system is broken. The way that taxes are assessed discourages innovation, and the way that the monies are re-allocated by both elected and unelected officials encourages patronage and waste. If this government were a business, it would be in chapter 11

It’s the dream ticket of 2016, and it’s a no-brainer.

Michael Milken, who in 1989 was indicted on multiple counts of racketeering and securities fraud, and subsequently copped a plea, has morphed from a felon into a respected philanthropist.  Richard “Dick” Morris, caught nibbling on the toes of a hooker in 1996 while a top level strategist for President Clinton, is now an esteemed right wing

Russia's Message

Posted by Grassroot Vizir in Untagged 

Grassroot Vizir

As Russian troops easily cruise deeper into Georgian territory, one really has to ask themselves, "What the **** was Saakashvili thinking?" In this battle between David and Goliath, Goliath holds all the rocks, cards and more. As Saakashvili begs for the Western help that certainly wont come in time, he has discovered too late that he has fallen into a classic trap.

The benefits of education are, to say the least, great. The opportunity cost of not providing enough education is, therefore, high. According to Stacy (1998) many studies, including Auster, Leveson & Sarachek (1969), Gorssman (1972), Silver (1972) as well as Grossman and Benham (1979), have shown that in U.S. "the number of completed years of formal schooling is the most important predictor of
