United States has fallen to ninth place in Economic freedom.

"Last year, I reported that the United States fell from sixth to eighth place -- behind Canada -- in the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal's 2010 Index of Economic Freedom. Now, we've fallen further. In the just-released 2011 Index, the United States is in ninth place. That's behind Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Ireland and Denmark." -John Stossel

Cmon we can do better than this. I thought America was the leader of the free world.

Rising Energy Prices and the Falling Dollar


Representative Ron Paul (Presidential Candidate) - TX.
Texas Straight Talk Newsletter
Oil prices are on the minds of many Americans as gas hits $4 a gallon, and continues to surge. How high can prices go? How can we solve these problems? What, or who, is to blame?

Part of the answer lies in understanding bubbles and monetary inflation, but especially the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve is charged with controlling inflation through interest rate manipulation, however, many fail to realize that creating money, and therefore inflation, is really its only tool.

If the Fed continues with its bubble blowing policies of the past, the new commodities bubble will continue to grow, gas prices will continue to go up, as the value of your dollars go down. We will see an overinvestment in these commodities as solutions are desperately sought for a supply shortage, which is only part of the problem. Make no mistake, though, this is not the free market at work. Government manipulations have added levels of complication and unintended consequences to the marketplace.

MCCAIN JOINS GLOBAL WARMING CULT

By Cal Thomas

In an effort to win over those “moderates” who believe that global warming is about to destroy the planet, Republican presidential candidate John McCain spoke Monday at a Portland, Ore., training facility for Vestas Wind Technology. He claimed, “The facts of global warming demand our urgent attention, especially in Washington.”

There certainly is more “hot air” on this and a lot of other subjects in Washington, but that isn’t what he meant. The era of big government is so not over, as Bill Clinton claimed it was in 1996.

Our Military Need Real Support, Not Empty Rhetoric

By Chuck Baldwin | Constitution Party Presidential Nominee
As we approach Memorial Day, we can anticipate the usual speeches and photo stunts from various and sundry politicos, each of them touting their heartfelt "support" for America's men and women in uniform. I submit that much of this political grandstanding is merely empty rhetoric.

Most of us probably recall that former Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger is quoted as having said that soldiers are just "dumb,
stupid animals to be used" as pawns by the political and commercial
elite. Obviously, even the most anti-military Democrat would never be so brazen as to say what Kissinger said.

Silver and gold guarantee freedom

By Edwin Vieira Jr. | GATA.org
Silver and gold are not merely valuable commodities, investments, and media of exchange. More importantly, they are key "checks and balances" in America's legal and political institutions.

The fight against the use of silver and gold as money that has been waged by bankers and rogue politicians since the 1870s as to silver and the 1930s as to gold -- and will intensify as fiat currencies collapse throughout the world -- is ultimately directed against America's national independence, her constitutional government, and every common American's individual liberty and prosperity.

By Brooke Adams | The Salt Lake Tribune
ELDORADO, Texas - As Richard Barlow walked eight of his children to a bus that would take them away from the YFZ Ranch, he gave each one advice.

And: "Be strong."
That was a month ago. Today his children are scattered from one end of Texas to the other and he and his wife, Susan, are desperate to see them.

The McCain dilemma: a split personality on his wars

Standing up to terrorists, but not Democrat intimidation
By Wes Vernon

Senator John McCain — the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — remains an enigma. He stands up to those who want us to soft-pedal the source of the terrorist threat. But he caves to Democrats when they express the slightest displeasure. Go figure.

Ron Paul Is Right on Peace, Liberty and Ending the U.S. Empire

On the war, Rep. Paul voted, in Oct., 2002, against the U.S. Congress delegating the power to use military force against Iraq to President George W. Bush. He said that, as soon as the Bush-Cheney Gang took office in Jan., 2001, "and that was long before 9/11," they were looking to bring about "regime change" in Iraq. He also believes that the "Israeli government and the Neocons want the U.S. to attack Iran."

Polygamous mystery: Does allegedly abused teen bride 'Sarah' exist?

Where is this child who called into authorities about being raped?
Is the government protecting children, or is it preparing for a bigger round-up of people who practice certain religions, under the guise of someone's child being raped.
Are we allowing our government to set a new precedent for religious intolerence in America?
Whether you believe there is a real child victim or not, should 400 families been ripped apart and raided of their children.

Unfortunately for Americans our government seems to have the opposite effect of the Midas touch. From the economy to religion, everything government seems to touch either withers, becomes tyrannical, or grows so big it's useless to the taxpayer.

Where are the leaders with the wisdom and vision of our founding fathers in today's world?
