 <title><![CDATA[Strange]]></title>
 <link>http://www.clearpolitics.com/index.php?itemid=1766</link>
<description><![CDATA[Strange, but have you noticed that the people that are asking you to save energy and the environment for future generations are the same people who have no problem foisting financial burdens of ruin upon future generations?<br />
<br />
Remember, it is not what one says but what one does that demonstrates who they are.<br />
<br />
"To you, future generations, we give a country that is a national park with the rules and regulations to ensure it is to remain a park forever. By the way, we needed to live comfortably while creating this park, so we have left you with enough financial burden to bankrupt the next three generations. You're welcome."<br />
<br />
<i>But...</i><br />
<br />
"But what?! Don't be ingrates! Don't you see how much we cared, the sacrifices we made?"<br />
<br />
<i>You cared only about yourselves. I have to work my life paying for your dream? I have to work my life without having a dream of my own?</i><br />
<br />
"How could your dream be different than ours?"<br />
<br />
<i>Because I care about my children, and I do not think it is responsible for me to burden them with my dreams.</i><br />
<br />
"Ingrates."<br />
<br />
<i>You are evil. If I left this legacy to future generations, I would be ashamed, and you are proud. But for you to recognize that you would have to care about something other than yourself, and clearly the core competency of your generations was ignorance.</i><br />
<br />
"How dare you."<br />
<br />
<i>How dare you.</i><br />
<br />
"If we would have known you would feel this way, we would not have sacrificed."<br />
<br />
<i>Sacrificed? You would not have sacrificed us? Another lie, for then you would have had to have been responsible.</i><br />
<br />
"Don't you see how we cared."<br />
<br />
<i>Yes, completely. You cared about nothing but yourselves.</i>]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[Tragic]]></title>
 <link>http://www.clearpolitics.com/index.php?itemid=1765</link>
<description><![CDATA[The level of discourse in this day and age is pathetic that a "Top Story" is a short, sophomoric article making fun of a presidential candidate's high school yearbook photo. There is not a lot we have to add to these conversations. We think it is actually important that there has not been a US budget in nearly 1000 days.<br />
<br />
A bankrupt country ignoring their budget responsibility, how shocking. That fools would spend their time discussing high school yearbook photos, how shocking. That one passes for news and the other is a non-issue, how tragic.<br />
<br />
Fools entertaining fools. Where will this lead? There are consequences to irresponsibility...as we will see...unfortunately, future generations will bear the burden for the dalliance.]]></description>

<br />
Though there are some who say the unemployment rate has fallen, you must recognize it as pretty talk.<br />
<br />
"If we had the same labor participation rate today that we did when President Obama first took office, our unemployment rate would be 10.9%." [<a href="http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/why-does-are-labor-force-keep-shrinking/297086">Read</a>]<br />

Honesty, something you have to seek when it comes to politics and pretty talk.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[Chris Dodd Continues to Crash America]]></title>
 <link>http://www.clearpolitics.com/index.php?itemid=1762</link>
<description><![CDATA[One of the proud Democrats who helped inflate and crash the housing bubble while getting special favor from his filthy friend Angelo Mozilo (<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122360116724221681.html">Friends of Angelo</a>) has retired from office and is using his influence with other proud Democrats to continue his assault on the American citizenry. Introducing MPAA chairman Chris Dodd and his new legislation:<br />
<br />
<i>The bills essentially call for censorship of online speech in such a way, and with so little recourse for those accused of "infringing" on intellectual property rights, that the bills will likely not survive the scrutiny of the courts even if they do survive in Congress. But if Congress does pass these laws, it will be a testament to the enormous power and influence of two Democratic special interest groups—the Hollywood lobby, comprised of the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America, and the trial lawyers</i>. [<a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/mpaa-head-chris-dodd-online-censorship-bill-chinas-model_611984.html">Read</a>]<br />
<br />
Though he is getting paid handsomely for his effort to use his influence to harm the citizenry, let us hope the citizenry gets wind of this before it passes. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2062544/Google-takes-Congress-online-piracy-bill.html">Google is putting up a fight</a>. And, yes, these are his words:<br />
<br />
<i>"When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn't do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites."</i><br />
<br />
Chris Dodd, helping run American like a for-profit company for politicians and influence peddlers. Though he is a mouthpiece for the cause, lest one thinks Republicans are not in on the action, look at the bill's sponsors: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act#Supporters">Sponsors</a><br />
<br />
And so many 'artists' consider themselves Democrats...if only they could read and reason.<br />
<br />
Freedom, I dare say, is no longer a viable option.<br />

 <title><![CDATA[Criminal]]></title>
 <link>http://www.clearpolitics.com/index.php?itemid=1760</link>
<description><![CDATA[How is this not criminal?<br />
<br />
<i>Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation "Fast and Furious" to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.</i> [<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-57338546-10391695/documents-atf-used-fast-and-furious-to-make-the-case-for-gun-regulations/">Read</a>]<br />
<br />
So, why not poison children to make the case for cleaner water? Perhaps the government will kill minorities to make a case for stronger 'hate crime' legislation. They could starve people to show a greater need for government food assistance. The possibilities of harming the citizenry in the name of a good cause are endless, and this action has verifiably led to the death of a US citizen; someone should be charged with murder; no one will be charged with anything.<br />
<br />
This is criminal.]]></description>

 <link>http://www.clearpolitics.com/index.php?itemid=1758</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are problems with our society. It is clear we have strayed from the tenets of freedom and liberty, but we struggle to right the ship. The underpinnings of a free society is a free-market economy, which has been infected by crony-capitalism in our country--the government in bed with 'winners' supported via a <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/193909-chu-solyndra-loan-decisions-werent-gift-to-dem-donor">quid pro quo</a> system. But for the incredible fools who still think socialism and communism are viable answers, remember what you get with those systems:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15814519">Cambodia genocide: Khmer Rouge trio go on trial</a><br />
<br />
If you need it a little simpler, read up on Joseph Stalin's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge#Number_of_people_executed">Great Purge</a>.<br />
<br />
Now name a free society where the leadership executes it citizenry en masse?<br />
<br />
And yet, you will still have proponents of murderously miserable political systems.<br />
<br />
(As to our problems, watch: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/peter-schweizer-solyndra-tip-iceberg-very-suspicious-govt-184151321.html">Solyndra Is “Tip of the Iceberg”...</a>)]]></description>
