Why your dollar won't buy what it used to

Your dollar has lost over 40% of purchasing power in 81 months. That’s 6% per year, year after year, with no end in sight, as the Fed keeps adding worthless Bucks to dilute what you already have.

Chart: value of the dollar since 1992

A seemingly endless series of profligate, spendthrift Congresses (both parties) have spent our nation into total bankruptcy, a condition now being inherited by our innocent children, who through no fault of their own will live under this heavy burden all their lives, unless we all take up the fight for a Fresh Congress, populated with term limited patriotic public servants who put the nation ahead of their own personal careers.

A very significant link

by Rense Johnson, Chairman, Citizens for Term Limits

A very significant Link has been added to our existing Links—among the most significant of those already there.

Readers are encouraged to seek out the Link “Forgotten Anniversary Haunts the Nation” for the dire message it conveys.

It may well be that we will be referring to it from time to time.

President Bush's misbegotten illegal immigration bill

Selective enforcement of the law — an impeachable offense?

Ann Coulter on Reagan and Rove

“Establishment Republicans all pretend to have seen Reagan’s genius at the time, but that’s a crock. They wanted to dump Reagan in favor of ‘electable’ Gerald Ford and ‘electable’ George Herbert Walker Bush. Newsweek reported in 1976 that Republican ‘party loyalists’ thought Reagan would produce ‘a Goldwater-style debacle.’

Scooter, the Border Guards and Our "Gallant" President

In a gross miscarriage of justice, a runamok Special Prosecutor whose name might have been Mike Nifong, and an outrageous hanging judge threw the book at Scooter Libby, exceeding sentencing guidelines, because Libby showed no remorse. And why should he show remorse when he knew he was innocent?

Excerpted from Fox news Sunday with Chris Wallace

Why can’t we enforce existing laws?

Virginia's Representative Goode's Concurrent Resolution asking President Bush to enforce immigration laws

110th CONGRESS
1st Session
H. CON. RES. 119

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should immediately and unequivocally call for the enforcement of existing immigration laws in order to reduce the threat of a terrorist attack and to reduce the massive influx of illegal aliens into the United States.

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS — VIRGINIA'S VIRGIL GOODE, JR

Dear Mr. Johnson:

Thank you for your recent communication about the current Senate immigration legislation. Attached is a copy of H.Con.Res. 119, which sets forth what should be the policy of this country on illegal immigration and on amnesty for illegal aliens. I am vigorously opposed to illegal immigration and to amnesty under whatever dressed up name it may be called. Amnesty will encourage the invasion into this country by illegals to continue.

A Green Card in Every Pot

Americans—at least really stupid Americans like George Bush—believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy. On this view, most of the existing world and almost all of world history is a freakish aberration.

Neither Perfect nor Good

One of the Female Democrat Senators (not Hillary) said we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is an excuse for bad legislation I have heard many times.

Ethanol a Bumper Crop for Agribusiness, Bitter Harvest for Taxpayers

The Many Myths of Ethanol

When everyone in politics jumps on a bandwagon like ethanol, I start to wonder if there’s something wrong with it.

Demand-Side Immigration Reform

In the initial debate over the Bush-Kennedy immigration deal, attention has focused on how this complex bill will impact immigration-law-breaking workers—the supply side of the unskilled labor market.

Neither Perfect nor Good

One of the Female Democrat Senators (not Hillary) said we must not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is an excuse for bad legislation I have heard many times.

We Need Compassion For Our Border Guards

President George W. Bush pardoned 16 criminals including five drug dealers at Christmastime, but so far has refused to pardon the two U.S. Border Patrol agents who were trying to defend Americans against drug smugglers. It makes us wonder which side the self-proclaimed “compassionate” President is on.

Did he plan to get by on his looks?

Oklahoma’s Republicans were not surprised that Mitt Romney did not do better in Tuesday evening’s GOP presidential debate.

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

Drafters of the Oklahoma Republican Platform introduced it with a one-page Statement of Beliefs, which I consider to be a piece of splendid writing. It represents what we all should stand for and use our energies to bring it about. We Present it here courtesy of Oklahoma Senator Randy Brogdon.

Defense of Western Civilization -- and the Recapture of America

We fight to recapture our country. It’s the only country we have.
It’s the only Western Civilization we have.

We need Terrorist Profiling

Singling out “Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40” is not “ethnic profiling,” it’s “terrorist profiling”—acting on prolific evidence.

Karl Rove Courting Radical, Racist Mexican Group

[C]ritics . . . see the irony of GOP members of the House holding “field” hearings with Americans about illegal aliens, border security, and terrorism, while members of the Bush White House are meeting with a group that advocates the return of several US states to Mexico as well as completely open borders with legal status for all.

Build a Comprehensive Missile Defense

After President Reagan announced the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, liberal Democrats in Congress did everything they could to thwart it.

". . . our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor"

[This is the] real immigration scandal. If left unattended, this one could cost the lives of millions of Americans, not just their livelihoods.

Anti-American Terrorism and The New York Times

For these people, patriotism is an anachronism.

Bush 43's Legacy and a Political Mess of Pottage

Years of neglect of the illegal immigration issue by three presidents reflect selective enforcement of our laws by Bush One, Clinton and Bush Two.

Senate Bill Would Allow 100 Million New Legal Immigrants Over Next 20 Years

If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

President Ronald Reagan’s Foresightedness

Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, which Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy promptly and sneeringly dubbed “Star Wars.”

Guest Workers Aren't Cheap; They're Expensive

It now looks like [President Bush’s] legacy will be “No illegal alien left behind.”

The stealth amnesty of Mike Pence

[D]eportation certainly “ain’t gonna work” if the chief law enforcement officer of the United States refuses to enforce the law, as Bush has refused for five years.

Hurray for Dunkin Donuts! Think how infinitely more effective this program would be if it were made mandatory by the Bush Administration!!!

Se Puede Get Two Years Tax-Free!

If Congress adopts the Bush plan and gives amnesty to illegal aliens, Senate Republicans will be asking President Cheney for a pardon.

Third Time

Something’s happening. I have a feeling we’re at some new beginning, that a big breakup’s coming, and we’ll someday look back on this era as the time when a shift began.

Will the US Become no More Than an Enterprise Zone?

The recent US Senate version of the “Border Security and Immigration Reform Bill,” . . . amongst other outrageous demands, [requires] discussions and ultimately approval from Mexico for any and all security measures at the US-Mexico border.

Congress Chooses Pork Over Bullets

Outrageous: Senate pork takes precedence over needs of fighting men and women.

Why I Won't Buy Citgo Gas Again

A little known fact about CITGO gasoline is that CITGO is wholly owned by the Venezuelan government [run by] Venezuela’s dictator, Hugo Chavez…

Why is Bush so Stubborn?

Bush’s dogmatic statement that we can’t stop aliens from illegally entering our country unless legislation is packaged “together” with a guest-worker program is a non sequitur, nonsense, and untrue. So what gives?

BORDERING ON FRAUD, PART III

Some people are worried that amnesty will give illegal aliens the same rights that American citizens have. In reality, it will give the illegals more rights than the average American citizen.

REFLECTIONS ON AN AMERICAN MILITARY CEMETERY

European D Day from World War II comes right after U. S. Memorial Day. Both dates are pivotal in memory of lives given so that we may have a nation to pass on to those who come after us.

HOW TO STOP IRAN (WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT)

Brilliantly conceived original thinking regarding our relationship with Iran. Will it work? It certainly should be tried before our government resorts to desperate measures.

BUSH'S IMMIGRATION SPEECH IS NOT CREDIBLE

“If President Bush had given his speech calling for immigration reform five years ago, we would have believed him. Now, after five years of doing nothing to protect our borders, he is not credible.”

BORDERING ON FRAUD

“The immigration bill before Congress has some of the most serious consequences for the future of this country. Yet it is not being discussed seriously by most politicians or most of the media. Instead, it is being discussed in a series of glib talking points that insult our intelligence.”

The President's Immigration Address

Throughout his address, the president kept referring to the immigrants and their rights and desires. What about those of us born in America, or who legally immigrated to this country? Do we have a right to preserve the nation the way it was handed down to us, with our English language, our culture and our loyalty to America first with no agenda other than this country?

Republicans and immigration

Maybe some recent polls will put some backbone into Senate Republicans. But don’t bet the rent money on it.

Bush's Immigration Conversion

Before the nation moves toward President Bush’s “comprehensive” approach to immigration reform, it must remember 1986. As Mr. Bush advocates now, Congress then combined citizenship for illegal migrants with greater enforcement. For lack of political will, however, enforcement barely happened.

GOP Immigration Stance Far From Reagan Reforms

LIE DOWN WITH STRIPPERS, WAKE UP WITH PLEAS

By Ann Coulter 4- 19-06

However the Duke lacrosse rape case turns out, one lesson that absolutely will not be learned is this: You can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don’t hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money.

What the Country Absolutely Wants

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, excerpted from Fox News Sunday interview 4-17-06

I’m here to say as a Republican leader that the country tells us what they really want. I mean, the country is very clear about big issues.

Bush is out of touch with GOP regarding illegal immigration

Bush…gave the back of his hand to the 88 percent of Republican House Members who voted to secure our borders against the invasion of criminals, smugglers of illegal drugs with their armed escorts, smugglers of thirsty humans in crowded vans, and Other Than Mexicans who obviously aren’t coming here to pick strawberries.

Tom DeLay:: Victim of GOP Timidity

The most stunning aspect of Tom DeLay’s resignation from Congress isn’t that he was forced out by a wave of bad publicity that began with his indictment last September for breaking a law that wasn’t even on the books when DeLay allegedly violated it.

Destroying America

Gov. Schwarzenegger and millions upon millions of other people came to America at a time when the business-political structure was much different than it is now. The greed for money and power on the part of our federal, state and local politicians conspiring in concert with agriculture and big business have virtually destroyed the America that existed little more than 30 years ago.

Illegal Aliens and American Medicine

The influx of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical consequences. We judge reality primarily by what we see. But what we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly than what is seen….

The Sorry Plight of American Blacks

A slew of new research shows how sorry is the plight of American blacks, most acutely men. Black men, particularly those who do not finish high school, have been falling off a cliff for decades.

An excellent argument for congressional term limits

From “Fix Congress, Not the Lobbyists,”

“Then there’s the nuclear option. No, not the one to bar Senate filibusters of judicial nominations. I’m referring to term limits: three terms for House members, two for senators.

Conservative principles: Sacrificed to Expediency

by Tim Chapman Jan. 20, 06

On February 2nd, when Republicans cast their vote for majority leader, the subtle undercurrent at play will be about conservative principles and the abandonment of such over the last few years.

Republican Revolution?

by Mark M. Alexander
What on earth has happened to Republicans in Washington? Twenty years ago, we conservatives could only dream of an opportunity like the one our elected representatives are now squandering: a Republican President with majorities in both houses of Congress, and two chances to nominate constitutionalists to the Supreme Court.

Chinese Dragon Awakens

By the time our group got to China, Chairman Deng Xiaoping had been in power only three years, but the benefits of his Responsibility System were already evident. Per capita income had already risen dramatically.

Spurning America

By Michael Barone October 17, 05
Army Special Forces soldiers, as my U.S. News colleague Linda Robinson writes in her riveting book, “Masters of Chaos,” are very much aware of “the tradition of their military history.”

On the eve of a difficult mission, “more than one soldier went to sleep hoping that the next days would prove him a worthy member of that lineage.”
