  • Audio — Chrysler Lender Attorney: "White House Directly Threatened My Client" http://youtube.com/v/_GPNvjec-DAThis is a story about how the Barack Obama administration, in typical Chicago style, strong-armed an investment bank that was opposing his Chrysler bankruptcy plan. Obama's thugs actually said that they would use the White House press corps to destroy the bank's reputation if…

  • Guest Piece: Paradigms and Tea Parties… and Dreams

    By Marilyn Barnewall People are worried about our government, our currency, our indebtedness. They are worried about losing their jobs and paying their bills. Most of all, they are worried about the direction in which they see America moving. It does not reflect their values or their dreams.

  • BILL MAHER: Foolish Rambling about Global Warming http://youtube.com/v/KqesgXP6_FYThis segment from Bill Maher's show is a good example of what the sheeple are exposed to, and why they are sheeple. As for Maher, he's living proof of why a little knowledge is dangerous. A more smug man there never was, yet he is as nonintellectual as…

  • Audio Snap Commentary — The Real Reason the Government Won’t Take the Tarp Money Back

    https://selwynduke.typepad.com/files/ap-why-the-government-wont-take-the-tarp-money-back-4-7-09.wma — The government’s goal isn’t the creation of a new economic system but the resurrection of a very, very old one. In fact, it’s one of the oldest institutions of man.

  • Dick Morris Reports on the Repealing of the Declaration of Independence http://youtube.com/v/dFDBkf4F_hsWhile I'm not the biggest fan of Dick Morris (he used to be Bill Clinton's propaganda minister), he's dead right about what he says in this video. And it's a very important and alarming message.

  • Nationalizing the Newspapers

    By Selwyn Duke Quite a while ago, when all the bailout mania was just getting started, I mentioned on a radio show that the left soon might propose aiding their public relations team, the newspaper industry.  Well, it wasn't but a few weeks later that a story on the subject broke, and I wrote about…

  • Guest Piece: Finance Capitalists and Scapegoats

    By Bruce Walker The doctored outrage at AIG executives raises one of the ugliest specters in modern political history:  mindless fury directed at “Finance Capitalism.”  The profits of men who create goods and services is easy to defend.  Bill Gates gave us Windows.  T. Boone Pickens and Ross Perot drilled for oil.  Sam Walton retailed…

  • It’s Time for a Greed Czar

    By Selwyn Duke With the recent passage of the “TARP bonus” bill, it’s obvious that our politicians are finally serious about tackling the problem of greed.  It’s about time, too.  We’ve long had “hate crime” laws, so one had to wonder when the next deadly sin would make it on the legislative agenda.

  • Must-hear Speech: Brilliant British Politician Has Choice Words for Statists http://youtube.com/v/94lW6Y4tBXsThis is Daniel Hannan, a British member of the European Parliament, rendering a speech with an eloquence that makes Barack Obama look like an amateur. He is delivering a tour de force, giving leftist British Prime Minister Gorden Brown a tongue lashing he'll never forget.…

  • Barnewall: Where’s the Beef at AIG?

    By Marilyn Barnewall If the way Congress has mismanaged "The AIG Affair" doesn't tell you what a bunch of clowns represent you, nothing will. If you believe Congress is really trying to solve the AIG problem (which, to be totally truthful, Congress created) you should not read the rest of this article. It will make…
