Does this mean that Obama is going to outlaw home gardens? Does Obama view it as illegal to grow tomatoes in your backyard?

How do we know they weren't Taliban in Pakistan uniforms? Or, given orders by Taliban in the ISI?

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. ...we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot." -Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, 1934-1945.

Neither Romney, Gingrich, Perry nor Cain will be a successful nominee. When I look at the history of Presidential Elections, I see that the nation votes its generation. Since President Buchanan, every President-elect has been younger than his predecessor, except for Benjamin Harrison (who lost the popular vote) and Ronald Reagan. Reagan’s election was a very special case: a charismatic candidate who campaigned against 18% interest rates, high unemployment and America Held Hostage. There have been some Presidents-elect the same age or one year older, but they were of the same generation. Accordingly, these primaries should be a contest among Huntsman. Pawlenty and maybe Santorum, or someone else, but one with a birthdate after 1961.

the greatest perversion displayed was the belief that Pride is a virtue. It is not. It is associated with foolishness. As Mark wrote, what defiles you are "evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, PRIDE, and Foolishness."

"We want to see private business expand. … We believe that one of the most important ways of achieving these ends at this time is to continue progress toward a balance of the federal budget." "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. ...we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot." -Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, 1934-1945. He opposed Keynesian Economics, but unfortuately, he worked for FDR.

Too bad the Naturalization Act of 1790 is not in force today. It provided that "the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States." Obama's father was on a student visa and not a resident.

When I look at the candidates for the nomination I also look at history. Since Buchanan, only 2 presidents-elect have been older than the man they replaced. Ronald Reagan, a charismatic figure against an 18% interest rate and America-held-hostage weakling, and Benjamin Harrison, who lost the popular vote to Grover Cleveland. I believe the national electorate votes their generation, so the successful Replubican nominee will probably be born after 1960. Then, no president has come directly out of the House of Representatives. Very few have come directly from the Senate.

“Puzzle for Marists …In 1952 western Germany's gross national income reached the thirty-billion-dollar mark-the world's highest national income (on a per-capita basis) if one properly discards the unique and altogether incomparable case of the U. S. (The German building industry, in fact, has outstripped that of the U. S. in pace, cost and quality.) At the same time, western Germany has approached full employment, retained (alone among Western nations) relative price stability throughout 1952 and achieved retail sales considerably above prewar levels. In short, the spectacular growth of the national product has been immediately translated into rising standards of living. All this. happened, Mr. Handler notes, "without the benefit of...

Just 8 years after WWII, Germany had the highest per capita income of any nation except the US. Socialist countries have never come close. A Government has never saved a country from a depression. What follows is from THE FREEMAN, Jan. 1953: The author puts the lie to central planning and exalts unregulated private competition. Puzzle for Marxists M S. Handler, in an unusually intelligent dis• patch to the New York Times, calls "the resurrection of dynamic industrial capitalism in western Germany" a "puzzle for Marxists." Mr. Handler submits that "this situation is hard to reconcile with the dogmatic [Marxist] idea that modern capitalism is in the process of leaving the stage of history and that the advent of...
