The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal - Fortune Features

I need to take the time to read this article. It seems like this may be an alternative story on the left, opposed to the right's story. In my opinion, Eric Holder is untrustworthy, based on what I know of his past. He should never have gotten the job of Attorney Journal. It absolutely blew my mind. I was like, "what, this guy? This is the best we've got for the job out of 300 million plus people. There's got to be others better qualified. " Remember his actions in the FLAN Terrorists clemency and commutation.

The Mormon Lens on American History

For a century and a half, Mormonism has been something of a paradox in the history of the American West

Maryland Tax increases

I was at the local Fastop tonight and on the counter they had taped a list of all of the tax increases going into effect on July 1. I was shocked to see that the tax on Cigars is going up from 15% to 70%! The other taxes, like for cigarettes, is going up from 15% to 30%. This is terrible how the government is steeling more of our money this way. Absolutely despicable. Now I need to research this.

A Stealth Coup d'État in the United States

This is a good article. Our problems are way bigger than Republican vs. Democrat; nor did we get into this mess over night. It's been a long time coming, and we've been caught in our comfortable complacency. It's time start paying attention and getting involved in what matters most to keep our freedoms intact.

Contrary to Lincoln's hope, the government of the people, by the people and for the people is now perishing from the earth.

POLITICO.com: Rush Limbaugh loses 25 advertisers

Check out this page:

I guess this list is the companies that we should avoid doing business with. This whole thing is so ridiculous. Rush spoke the truth; although he's since apologized, because he realized he had stuped to the level of the left. I must say, even though it was true, it wasn't Christ like to state it the way he did. I think Rush did the right thing. That Fluke woman should be ashamed of herself. Robbing from her fellow citizens to satisfy her lifestyle that is against their religious beliefs; violating the constitution and the first amendment. For Obama to support her is a violation of his oath of office.

Many have noted that President Barack Obama seems to have a bit of a messianic complex.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday that Obama has taken it too far and must remember that he’s not Jesus Christ, The Hill reports.
