Henry Paulson’s Many Gifts to Barack Obama By John Kakistos Lillpop
Back in September and October when Governor Palin was just beginning to breath life into the wilting presidential aspirations of John McCain, Secretary Paulson orchestrated a massive “chicken little” scam that panicked President Bush, most members of the Congress, both John McCain and Barack Obama, and most American voters.
Turning Boom into Bust By Alan Caruba
There is also something called “the curse of oil” because, if the price per barrel drops, the fate of some nations goes with it. This is the case, for example, of the former Soviet Russia whose government collapsed when it could no longer secure hard currency when oil and gas prices fell. Venezuela is an economic basket case these days, having nationalized oil and most of its financial and business sectors.
Government Solution to High Mortgage Payments By John Kakistos Lillpop
You say your mortgage payments have risen to the point where you and your family have been forced to cut back on “necessities” like dining in upscale restaurants seven nights a week, motoring about in luxury SUVs, and vacations in Hawaii every six months, just to pay the mortgage holder every month?

Looting the National Treasury By Alan Caruba
“We have in the country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED.

Obama’s Praetorian Guard Or Another “SS” By J.D. Longstreet
The Praetorian Guard was a special force of household troops used by Roman Emperors. Augustus saw the need to establish a troop of soldiers loyal only to him. After Sejanus’ death the Guards became ambitious and began a deadly power play in the Empire. They assassinated emperors, bullied their own Prefects, and eventually turned on the people of Rome.
Democrats Plan Censorship With Reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine! By J.D. Longstreet
We warned you the Democrats would do this and indications are that they have not abandoned their plans. We also warned you the democrats are all about raw power. The assertion of their tyranny by any means possible. The Fairness Doctrine is censorship, plain and simple. And, indications are that they’re going to pass it, in the House and Senate, if Obama is elected and he WILL sign it into law!
Redistribution of the Wealth By J.D. Longstreet
Question: Who said the following, Karl Marx or Barack Obama? “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” The answer is… BOTH. Well, sort of. Marx DID say it a little differently. Marx said it this way: ” From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Judging from their words they both support redistribution of the wealth.

Fraud Or Business As Usual? By Judie Brown
Fraud: intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.
It is not often that I get so excited about an American Life League Action Alert that I have to write a commentary on it, but today is just such a day. You see, the headline itself sets the stage: “Statutory Rape-Hiding Planned Parenthood to Receive Thousands: Help Stop Misuse of Tax Dollars.”

Third-World Mexico Unravels Into Civil War: America Next? By John Kakistos Lillpop
Open borders advocates please take note: The United States State Department has again issued a travel advisory about third-world Mexico.
This report from Worldnetdaily.com, in part:
“More than 1,100 people have been slaughtered in a blood bath of drug-related violence in one city just south of the U.S.-Mexico border this year – that’s nearly four victims each day – and some say it is just part of a large crisis that is will soon spill over the border.
SOUTH DAKOTA’S ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM By Judie Brown
All Words tells us that an “elephant in the room” is an idiom for “a problem or difficult issue that is very obvious, but is ignored for the convenience or comfort of those involved.”
In the case of the South Dakota’s Measure 11 ballot initiative, the elephant in the room for pro-life individuals and organizations is the possible enshrinement of many abortion laws into state law.
States & Utilities Unite to Rob Energy Consumers By Alan Caruba
If you believe that the use of these energy sources are producing huge amounts of carbon dioxide (C02) and other greenhouse gases that will doom the Earth, than surely the purchase of—and I kid you not—“pollution credits” to somehow curb global warming is worth the expense.
Can You Hear Us Now? (We Said NO!) By Doug Edelman
The Paulson Bailout, proposed at $700 Billion, has now grown in the Senate to $850 Billion with the addition of absolutely ridiculous “sweeteners” like free bicycles and tax breaks to wooden arrow makers! The Senate has completely lost its way.
Days such as these: Wall Street uncertainties By Marie Jon
Our people in Congress who contributed to the Wall Street uncertainties must take their share of the blame. They have been exposed by new media pundits and conservative talk radio. The old drive-by-media will not be able to spin the culprits out of this problem. American voters have sufficient time to learn the truth before Election Day.

What Next? Taxpayer Bail Out for the New York Yankees and Mets? By John Kakistos Lillpop
While Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C., worked feverishly to deal with the trillion dollar stinker laid by bankers and investors on Wall Street, the good folks of New York City were fighting a blistering one-two punch delivered by the sports Gods.
Fixing the Financial Crisis Without Socializing the Market By Doug Edelman
A giveaway of hundreds of billions of dollars is not only bad policy, it is not necessary! Unfortunately, the Democrats have successfully brainwashed the public into believing that the problem was caused by deregulation, when in fact it was caused by Democrat inspired rules and regulations which set up a house of cards in our economy.
The Changing Face of Welfare Abuse By John Kakistos Lillpop
Ending “welfare, as we know it” was one of the rare issues on which President Bill Clinton and Republican members of Congress actually agreed in the 90s.
As a result, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 was signed into law by President Clinton on August 26, 1996.
Those Responsible for Meltdown are Vultures and Vipers, Not Victims By John Kakistos Lillpop

Aside from the fact the Democrats in Congress are trying to fool Americans into believing they are “lifting” the ban on off-shore exploration and drilling for oil, the opposition to our domestic oil companies by both Democrats and radical environmental groups lies at the heart of why America is so dependent on foreign oil.

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000.00 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

From the total and complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement at home, to out of control spending resulting in trillions of dollars in debt being dumped on the backs of future generations, and to inept and foolish mismanagement of foreign relations that has united the world against America, George W. Bush has done enough damage to America.
Is W Lying About Missing Corporate Profits? By John Kakistos Lillpop
Congressional Democrats who voted to authorize the use of military force against Iraq in 2002 have spent the last five plus years explaining how they were mislead and manipulated by a conniving man whom they also swear is an incompetent nincompoop.
Geniuses, near geniuses, want to be geniuses, and geniuses in training like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry and other Democrat luminaries claim that President Bush made up WMD intelligence out of whole cloth, sold his snake oil to the United Nations, and co-opted the rest of the world into believing that Saddam Hussein was a bad actor with bad intentions.
America in Crisis: Who Will Bail Out We the People? By John Kakistos Lillpop

Another $80 Billion Bailout? Ho-Hum, Yawn. Next? By John Kakistos Lillpop
Have America’s so-called leaders lost their collective minds? Is Washington, D.C., now a Sanctuary City for the criminally insane?
After tightening the screws to make it as difficult as possible for average Americans to achieve debt relief through bankruptcy, the Bush administration, with the implied consent of the U.S. Congress, is throwing scores of billions of dollars of taxpayer money at Freddie, Fannie, Lehman Brothers, and now AGI.
Democrat Deceptions about Oil By Alan Caruba
Lost amidst the many speeches delivered at the Democrat Convention was one by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada. He is the Senate Majority Leader and, as such, controls the legislative agenda in that upper house of Congress. Harry Reid hates oil, but then, so does the Democrat Party.
The reason this nation is held hostage to other oil producing nations is that the Democrats, going back to President Jimmy Carter, have waged war on the American oil industry.
Playing God with “Endangered” Species By Alan Caruba

In this third chapter of this ongoing discussion and analysis of United States energy policy and its ramifications both realized directly and indirectly from the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, (EPAct 2005) it would be irresponsible not to include U.S. nuclear energy policy in such analysis.
