Things Have Gotten Worse — 35 Shocking Statistics
by Michael T. Snyder
Most Americans know that things used to be much better in the United States, but they don’t have the facts and the figures to back that belief up. Well, after reading the shocking statistics in this article nobody should be left with any doubt that things have gotten worse in America. There are less jobs, incomes are down, home values have plummeted, poverty is up, consumer debt is way up, dependence of the government has skyrocketed and government debt is totally out of control. Sadly, it hasn’t really mattered which political party has had control over the White House. Things have gotten worse under Obama, they got worse under Bush, and they got worse under Clinton.
Sometimes It Is Not Enough To Do Our Best We Must Do What Is Required
As we Paul supporters have failed so far to rack-up a victory in the primary or caucus beauty contests, I have started noticing that some are considering giving in to defeatism. That is not worthy of Dr. Paul or our cause – and Winston Churchill will show you why.
In 1940, during the Second World War, Hitler’s tyranny had already swept across all of Europe. The score was liberty – zero; tyranny – too many to count. Only Britain was left standing. And Hitler was coming for us.

The 10 Most Excellent Reasons to Attack Iran
1. Iran has threatened to fight back if attacked, and that’s a war crime. War crimes must be punished.
2. My television says Iran has nukes. I’m sure it’s true this time. Just like with North Korea. I’m sure they’re next. We only bomb places that really truly have nukes and are in the Axis of Evil. Except Iraq, which was different.
3. Iraq didn’t go so badly. Considering how lousy its government is, the place is better off with so many people having left or died. Really, that one couldn’t have worked out better if we’d planned it.

Romney is Very Good Looking
by Sherry Mann
The National Review editors recently wrote, “Mitt Romney ran a firm that invested in struggling businesses, made money, and never asked for a bailout,” and described any attacks on his Bain record as “asinine”.
On October 25, 1994, the Boston Globe wrote, “Republican Senate nominee Mitt Romney’s rescue of a business consulting firm was achieved, in part, by convincing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to forgive roughly $10 million of the company’s debts, according to sources close to the deal and federal records obtained by the Boston Globe.”
David Shuster commented on this in the January 11, 2012 edition of Countdown, “…In other words, not only did Romney ask for a bailout, he received one. And let’s be clear — when any institution lets you or your company forgive and forget a ten million dollar debt, that is a bailout.”
Gingrich Is a Great Debater
By Sherry Mann
If were picking my favorite candidate only by watching the debates, I’d pick Newt Gingrich.
But this time, I want more than promises for change. I want change! So I decided instead of just listening to the announcers, I’d pick the “winning horse” by going down to the barn and turning over the straw; because I’ve found that presidential candidates can serve up a surprisingly, enticing organic by-product that comes from hay and horses.
My mother told me that if I couldn’t say anything nice, I shouldn’t say anything at all, so I’m not going to offer you my opinions about Newt Gingrich after looking through his stall. Instead, I’ve assembled Newt Gingrich’s quotes (with context), so you can draw your own conclusions.
“Either we are going to have to rethink our Constitution or we are going to have to rethink our process of making decisions…”
Newt Gingrich in a speech to the Center for Strategic and International Affairs saying that, the challenge for the United States in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution.
“We need to be honest about the fact that we are transferring from the United States at a practical level, significant authority to a new organization…This is not just another trade agreement. This is doing something which twice, once in the 1940’s and once in the 1950’s, the US Congress rejected…It is a very big transfer of power.”
Newt Gingrich in Congressional Testimony on the World Trade Organization and GATT. He later arranged for the vote on GATT, voted in favor of it, and bears the shared responsibility for transferring America’s foreign trade matters over to an international authority.
Mencken says…
Henry Louis “H. L.” Mencken was an American journalist, essayist, magazine editor, satirist, and critic of American life and culture. Mencken is regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th century.
Here are a few of his most famous observations:
“Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.”
“We must be willing to pay a price for freedom.”
“When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before.”
“A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.”
“A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.”
“A politician is an animal which can sit on a fence and yet keep both ears to the ground.”
