"Food" is a Loosely Defined Term...

...to purveyors and cause-and-effect deniers of Food Stamp America:


I wonder what went with the taxpayer-supplied Mountain Dew - whiskey and cigs?


This nation is completely upside down.

"Sadly, at the Highest Levels of Economic Thought in Government, Questions are not Tolerated..."

 ... it is if we are dealing with the binary judgement of a fundamentalist religion."

-- Subprime short extraordinaire Michael Burry in 2012 at the 2012 UCLA Economics Commencement.

Michael Burry is correct: We are dealing with a fundamentalist religion in America, and no, it is not Christianity. The religion of the state and that of collectivism is steamrolling our individual freedoms into oblivion, facts -- economic, historical, or otherwise -- be damned.

Watch the comencement video starting at 12:00 on the YouTube dial and tell me that Michael Burry's words don't send a chill down your spine.

Ponder not only what he says about our nation but how he was dealt with by our feral government overlords when he was seen as a threat by pointing out the fallacy of their fundamentalist collectivist backward religion:



Absolutely chilling.

Budget Issues Trump The Benghazi, IRS and AP Scandals

By Frank Hill

Budget Issues Trump Cards
Or should trump them, at least.

Despite all the consternation about the Obama Administration and Benghazi, the IRS harassment of Tea Party groups and the AP phone records being monitored, we still have a country to run.

Somebody better be paying attention to our spending and deficit/debt problems or else it really won't matter if the Obama White House is lying about any of the above 3 scandals now a-brewing.

They are all important issues of governance or malfeasance, however you want to call it...

What Obama would have you believe

By Dean L.

The president is about to speak about the IRS scandal.  After releasing a bunch of email documents on the Benghazi scandal.  The president will focus in prime news time on the IRS scandal.

Classic misdirection.

There's likely no major smoking gun in the Benghazi declassified emails.  But if the president wants eyes on the IRS - a scandal brought to light by the IRS in the midst of a Benghazi whistle blower probe - TV still trumps an email dump.

He will likely pump up the importance of the IRS scandal and then deflate the issue by announcing firings.  He would have you believe he's above board on this and therefore also the Benghazi stuff, which he will play later as a witch hunt.
