Anyone who dreamed the presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, “moderated” by “mainstream” media hack Bob Schieffer, would be moderated objectively has been hitting the cannabis too much recently. Schieffer has been one of the biggest liberal apologists and propaganda artists of the past several decades.

Don’t look now, but at $16.190 trillion, the national debt is just $204 billion away from reaching its statutory ceiling of $16.394 trillion — just one short year after the federal government increased the ceiling from $14.294 trillion last summer. Last time around, Treasury Secretary Geithner had no plan to avoid defaulting on US obligations. Has anything changed?

New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner, a Democrat, purged the voter rolls of dead and ineligible voters in August. As a result, 163,221 voters were dropped from the rolls statewide, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. In June, the Republican-controlled Legislature overrode the veto of Democratic Gov. John Lynch to pass a new voter ID law that will be phased in over the next few years. Attorney General Eric Holder has been suing to take down voter identification laws in other states claiming they are in violation of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965.

Shouldn’t this 9/11 betrayal in Benghazi be President Obama’s political death knell? For the two weeks following 9/11, the Obama administration talked about the repercussions from some lame brained video. What more does he have to do to change the media’s heart? Their bias has long since evolved into complicity. Will the death of four brave Americans finally discourage their excuse making policies?

It looks and sounds a lot like President Barack Obama is channeling former President Jimmy Carter these days. Lousy economy, lack of respect for the US around the world, trouble from Iran…

With Election Day right around the corner, the propaganda machines are busily spinning political webs with which the candidates can lure voters. However, no matter how badly Americans might want to believe that those running for office—especially the ones we’re rooting for—are telling us the truth, truth and politics do not make good bedfellows. Much of the deception and corruption involved in politics has been written about in books, novels and in film. Indeed, if one really wants to understand the chicanery behind politics, a good place to start looking for it is in the movies.

The problems with welfare go deeper than just the money spent and the increased number of people falling under its wide umbrella — it doesn’t solve the problem. The welfare epidemic stems from a much deeper problem in this country. When you have a government that wants its people dependent upon it and can enforce laws and regulations to make that happen American citizens turn into little more than feudal serfs.

Have you ever pondered the fact that everyone being endowed with equal rights by our creator works out so naturally, while the equality of outcome that our Progressive would-be masters seek to impose is impossible to achieve without treating people differently? Have you ever noticed that whenever the government wishes to give anyone anything, they have to first take it from someone else?

Perhaps the most significant part of the vice presidential debate was the exchange over Mitt Romney’s proposal to lower tax rates by 20% and close loopholes and deductions. Paul Ryan explained Romney’s framework: “Lower tax rates 20 percent. We raised about $1.2 trillion through income taxes. We forgo about $1.1 trillion in loopholes and deductions. And so what we’re saying is, deny those loopholes and deductions to higher-income taxpayers so that more of their income is taxed.”

OCTOBER 22, 1836, General Sam Houston was sworn in as the first President of the Republic of Texas. As a teenager, after his father died, Houston ran off to live with the Cherokee Indians on the Tennessee River, being adopted by Chief Oolooteka and given the name “Raven.” Elected to Congress in 1823, Sam Houston became Governor of Tennessee in 1827. After a failed marriage, Sam Houston moved to Texas, where he was made Commander to fight Santa Anna.
