The irony here, of course, is that the history lesson of democracy gets delivered by a former refugee from the former Soviet Union, but the history lesson doesn’t just end with the USA. One young man tried to pass an “Occupy Wall Street Journal” to two men observing the protests, and ended up gaining an education in history, politics, economics, and statecraft. Give the young Occupier credit, as Joe Schoffstall says — he was at least willing to listen.

Part I of a video series based on the recently published groundbreaking book “Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-up” by Katie Pavlich. This is the book that may blow the lid off of the Obama Administration’s covert plan to disarm America and may bring down the Obama Presidency. Read more »

Author and journalist Katie Pavlich talks to Glenn Reynolds about the Fast and Furious firearms scandal that resulted in the murder of a Border Patrol agent. Pavlich’s research shows that the ATF put guns in the hands of criminals, but never planned to track these weapons. Was the Obama Administration using Fast and Furious to undermine the Second Amendment? H/T Kathi.

H/T Ken! This is a very interesting video presentation.  It is well worth your viewing attention when you’ve got the time to listen for 13 minutes.

• You can’t have socialism in just one country because the capital will move to countries with capitalism. This is what happened to France in the 1980’s when so many industries were nationalized. Capital fled to Britain and the US.
• The European Union standardized work rules, maximizing amount of vacation, minimizing the number of hours worked, firing standards and so on. As a result, 80% of new jobs created in the western world between the Reagan and Obama administrations went to the US.
• A study was done which tracked the poorest 20% in 1990 and again in 2000. 17% of the poorest 20% were still poor, but 18% were in the top 20%. The rest fell somewhere in between. Upward mobility is alive and well in the US! Not so in Europe where it is based upon government policies rather than individual initiative.
• Obama wants to adopt the European system, the consequences of which mean no economic growth.
• We need to reverse the expansion of entitlements (50M Americans are on foodstamps!) and vote Obama out of office in 2012!

Here are some good stats on what it means to be poor  in America. Thanks Dave.

Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon explains the historical facts relating to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The video explains where the terms “West Bank”, “occupied territories” and “67 Borders” originated and how they are incorrectly used and applied. Thank you Kathi!

From the Canada Free Press:

 If George Soros isn’t the world’s preeminent “malignant messianic narcissist,” he’ll do until the real thing comes along.  Move over, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.  There’s a new kid on the block.

What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath’s lack of conscience.  He considers himself to be a world class philosopher, despises capitalism, and just loves social engineering. 

Soros is a real life version of Dr. Evil—with Obama in the role of Mini-Me.  Which is not as humorous as it might at first sound.  In fact, it’s bone-deep chilling.

Jeffrey Kuhner describes the pervasiveness of Soros’s influence in the Washington Times. Read more »

“The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.”  Barack Obama, May 19, 2011

Dear President Obama,

I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request. First and foremost, I will be asking that you return America to its August 20th, 1959 borders so that Hawaii is no longer a state and you are no longer a citizen.
