Barack Obama and The Weathermen

Since just before the election of Barack Obama in November, it has been interesting and quite shocking that a forty-year old, seemingly forgotten radical group called “Weatherman” is getting so much attention. Of course, Obama denies any connection to old Weathermen. Here’s a quick history of the “Weathermen” and why it’s relevant to a new president calling for an undefined “change.”

Obama Wants a Climate Czar…but Al Gore has no Consensus

Former Vice President Al Gore had quite a year. He produced an Oscar-winning film warning of the coming global warming Armageddon. The film and his activism led to a Nobel Prize. Flush from those victories, Gore "took the Hill," as he testified before a hushed hearing room in his old Senate haunt, predicting more dire consequences if global warming isn’t stopped. All of that was followed by mass rallies across the nation, with energized college students; editorials and magazine covers, and even legislation in Congress to curtail the use of carbon fuels. Gore concluded his triumphant moment in the spotlight with a major address in Washington on July 17, 2008, in which he boldly laid out his plan for a "wrenching transformation" of society he deemed necessary for man to survive.

Opportunity

There is no question that election day, 2008 was a dismal one for those who believe in limited government, free enterprise and individual liberty - the principles of freedom upon which this nation was founded. There is carnage on the battlefield; despair in our hearts; and fear for our future. What does the future hold? Where do we go from here? Can we survive?

Free Enterprise Did NOT Cause the Market Meltdown

I rarely watch the Sunday morning political shows like Meet the Press and This Week. What's the point? It's just a gabfest of the elite pouring out their version of reality, usually surrounding one lone conservative with a panel of liberals, calling it balanced. I've been in that situation too many times to know real facts rarely get through the posturing.

Obama and the “Professional Black-Victims Cartel”

Americans beware. In the future, should you disagree with "President" Obama, apparently you will be labeled a racist.

T. Boone Pickens: New Kind of Prairie Rustler

Over the summer he was all the rage - a Texas oil billionaire ready to make a difference and get the U.S. off of foreign oil dependency. Pickens certainly advocates drilling more American oil, but also came up with a reasonable-sounding plan to make wind power a reality. "We're the Saudi Arabia of Wind," he said. Then he spent $58 million to sell the idea to the American people and to force pro-wind legislation through Congress.

Subjecting all Americans to an International databank

If government won't do its job, is that a reason for Americans to surrender their liberty? Do you think that is a funny question? Well, it is actually what a number of activist groups are now advocating in the name of stopping illegal immigration.

Press-Release Lap Dogs

"We're supposed to fall for a candidate who has to play up her eight years as the mayor of a town of 6,715 - where the Associated Press devastatingly remarked the "biggest civic worry is whether there will be enough snow for the Iditarod dog-mushing race" - and her time on the PTA to round out her resume." The news media - just being fair.

The Great North American Phone-In

Those who are angry about the possible creation of a North American Union and are tired of being ignored by elected officials who deny the NAUs existence have an opportunity to deal with both.

We Are Beginning to Move the Rock of Freedom Uphill

Part II Address to the 9th Annual Freedom 21 National Conference, Dallas, Texas, July 26, 2008

We Are Beginning to Move the Rock of Freedom Uphill

There is no question that the forces of freedom are facing serious challenges.

Barack Obama and the UN’s Drive for Global Governance

Senator Barack Obama has introduced a dangerous bill and it's on the fast track to Senate passage, probably because of his high profile position as the expected Democrat presidential nominee. Obama hasn't done much legislatively in his freshman Senate term, but this one is very telling about what we can expect from a President Obama.

Responding to “None of the Above”

A few weeks ago I wrote an article about an addition to the election system called "None of the Above" and I asked American Policy Center supporters if they would support it. The answers certainly told the tale of the frustration over our election process that produces candidates most of us don’t care for.

Going Green = $4 per Gallon

You hear it everywhere now. On the nightly news; in car ads; in government reports; at the super market. Instructions on how to "reduce your carbon footprint," "save the planet" and "go green" are the new national mantras for behavior modification of our daily lives.

Polar bears on ESA will lead to economic destruction

Hot in the news today is the drive to list the Polar Bear as an endangered species as a result of Global Warming. Urgent messages are being issued by environmental groups that the polar ice caps are melting and thus endangering bear populations.

Efforts Growing to Repeal the Real ID

The Real ID Act was passed by Congress on May 10, 2005. It was signed into law by President Bush with a mandatory compliance date by State Department of Motor Vehicles by May 11, 2008. The bill was sold as a means to protect Americans from terrorists and as a way to stop illegal immigration.

For Highway Safety—Fire Mary Peters

In September, 2007, The Bush Administration began a pilot project to allow Mexican trucks to drive on U.S. highways. The project is a major, necessary tool for implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership initiated in 2005 by President Bush, former Mexican President Vicente Fox and former Canadian Prime Minster Paul Martin.

What to Do When You Don’t Like Any of These Candidates

Hillary Clinton. John McCain. Barack Obama. Those are our choices for the next president of the United States. Are you happy with that selection? If not, what is your alternative? As the saying goes, "The lesser of two evils is still evil."

Public/Private Partnerships: Government-Sanction Monopolies

During the first years of the Clinton Administration in the early 1990s, there was much fanfare about a new policy to “reinvent government.” It was sold as a way to make government more efficient and less costly. It would, said its proponents, “bring business technologies to public service.”

Act Now to Stop Oklahoma NAFTA Superhighway!

Despite massive public opposition, on Tuesday, April 29th, the Oklahoma state legislature approved a bill to allow creation of "Smart Ports" and continuation of the NAFTA Superhighway system in Oklahoma.
