America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.

“No one begrudges Moore his wealth, but it is deceitful for him to claim poverty while encouraging class warfare among other Americans. It is also purely narcissistic and selfish for Moore to back radical and destructive socialist policies that would deny other Americans the opportunity to become as rich as he is.”

This is a story about the media participation in this process, whereby promoted stories are referred to as "well-researched and well-documented" while suppressed stories are labelled "conspiracy theories."

A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savour of it.

It is far safer to be feared than to be loved, if you cannot be both. Men worry less about doing an injury to one who makes himself loved than to one who makes himself feared.
~Niccolo Machiavelli

Assumption... she is the mother of all fuck-ups. ;-P

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is energy condensed, to a slow vibration and that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself... subjectively.
There is no death for life is only a dream.

The City of Washington

The City of Washington

Come let me lead thee o'er the second Rome...
This embryo capital, where Fancy sees
Squares in morasses, obelisks in trees;
Which second-sighted seers, ev'n now, adorn,
With shrines unbuilt and heroes yet unborn...

--Thomas Moore, 1804

Our celebration of freedom

Passover was the very first declaration of the right of independence in history and its message is a clarion call to everyone - be yourself, enjoy your own faith, culture and way of life.

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

We the People

Post by Tomas »

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
