This was a foregone conclusion from the outset: The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), has now filed suit in DC court, claiming that Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) violates the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment (as 14 states now claim), as well as the Fifth Amendment’s protection against an establishment of government forcing one [...]

Recent Conclusions
Recent Observations
Yesterday, while musing over the media’s recent Palin / McCain re-pairing (no pun intended) and the fallout from Palin supporter’s who object to the two even being seen together, the allure of Palin finally dawned on me. It’s not her position on any given policy issue that rallies her supporters, but rather her “anti-political” nature. Though [...]
From Great Depression to Greatly Depressing …
As you plug all the pieces into the American political puzzle, from the abandonment of our Constitution to the ”let them eat cake” arrogance of our so called leaders, to the mass revolt of the Tea Party movement, all roads lead to one conclusion.

But insider’s already know “what’s in it”, because they authored [...]
A “Civilized” Global Class War for the 21st Century
In some ways, old fashioned warfare had it’s merits. At least you could identify the enemy on the battlefield, by his position, his colors, and the sound of his charging advance. Today, wars are fought in a very different manner. Sure, there is the traditional ground war strategy, reserved for confrontations with the world’s primitive element: cave dwellers [...]
37 States push back on THE BOX
It’s nice that 37 States are actually prepared to TAKE ACTION against the voter-rejected health care reform currently under reconciliation, and it’s nice that Idaho’s governor actually considers the Sovereignty of Idaho at stake. Now State’s need to get off the Federal stimulus teet and consider the Sovereign State Credit Solution for their budgetary and employment woes. States [...]
