			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the subject of the Evolution of Evolution it appears that the speed at which this process now seems to occur would indicate that Intelligent Design might, after all, have a role to play. I say “might” in the light of Joe Biden’s involvement. Mentioning the Vice President in the same sentence with “Intelligent Design” requires a disclaimer having to do with his proclivity for plagiarism. That said; it may be difficult to prove that those presently occupying the bridge on the ship of state are sufficiently gifted with qualities akin to thoughtfulness. It’s a steady chorus of “Left rudder, fools speed ahead!”</p>
<p>If we believe the HMS Beagle’s most famous passenger, however, we must conclude, as did Darwin, that homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end; something akin to going down on the Titanic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The current crisis in the Eurozone portends ill for democracies the world over. It has long been understood that democracies have a relatively short shelf-life before they ultimately collapse under the weight of the demands of those who sold their votes to short-sited, self-serving politicians in exchange for largess from the public treasury. </p>
<p>While we in the US are technically a Republic, we have our share of vote-hoarding, power-coveting politicians who have made a similarly Greecey mess of our country.</p>
<p>This is not a problem that can be corrected at the ballot box, as the rest of the Eurozone will discover in January when the Greeks vote to accept or reject the bailout that will or will not prevent the bankruptcy of that once enviable nation. </p>
<p>Are we capable of solving our problems at the ballot box? We will have to wait until next November to find out, but don&#8217;t hold your breath. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fate endured by myriad small nations is now impacting the big ones. All are in debt to the world&#8217;s central bankers. All must ultimately default. The solution; arrest the criminals that got us into this mess and confiscate their ill-gotten gains. Otherwise the problem is perpetuated, at best, or at worst the citizens of the world will awaken to the fact they are in utter servitude to those who created the debt-based economic system. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would anyone be truly surprised if Obama&#8217;s recent pronouncement, that he fears a &#8220;lone wolf&#8221; domestic terror attack on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, was meant as bait for just such an event? Could he not then declare martial law and maintain power in the face of his ever-decreasing popularity? Is this not as likely a scenario as his being re-elected in 2012? </p>
<p>He would not do this on his own, however, it would be at the insistence of his bosses at the Federal Reserve; a private bank with an interesting name, which seized control over our currency and monetary policy from the Congress in 1913. They know the jig is nearly up and something will have to be done to keep them out of prison, or worse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The senior Senator from Arizona, the brave naval aviator who has become the Republican party&#8217;s Peter Principle poster boy, has very recently referred to members of the Tea Party as &#8220;Hobbits&#8221;. As noted by more than a few others, these diminutive, furry-footed agrarians were the very creatures who managed to take down the evil empire. So it has often been. </p>
<p>It was the common man, who had had enough, who tossed the tea into Boston Harbor.</p>
<p>The embattled farmers stood their ground behind Concord&#8217;s rude bridge and fired the shot heard round the world. </p>
<p>The 900 farmers from &#8220;over-the-mountain&#8221; destroyed the left flank of Cornwallis&#8217; march through the Carolinas in his 1780 attempt to confront Washington&#8217;s army in Virginia, turning the tide of the Revolution at King&#8217;s Mountain. The opposing force, under British Colonel Ferguson, was comprised almost exclusively of American colonists loyal to the English King George. </p>
<p>The farmers of Eastern Tennessee once again answered the call to come to the nation&#8217;s aid in New Orleans, where they defeated a far superior British force in the War of 1812. </p>
<p>(The British, though twice defeated, did not give up. They ultimately managed to re-occupy the USA via the Federal Reserve Bank, essentially a branch of the British Central Bank. This is who our political leaders really work for. This is not conspiracy theory; it is conspiracy fact. Our two party system is merely veneer.) </p>
<p>Still, the lesson is this; tyranny is turned when the common man makes history. </p>
<p>Are more such days in our future?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barack Obama is the ultimate terrorist. The damage he has perpetrated and perpetuated is far worse, on many levels, than OBL, KSM and their 19 Saudis ever contemplated or imagined in their wildest fantasies. </p>
<p>The Little O&#8217;s wrecking ball has nearly brought down the entire structure of the Old World Order with no apparent consideration of the disorder sown in his path. Images of Berlin in ruin and rubble rise unbidden from the dust as the specter of Auschwitz is channeled through the flames of the Arab Spring, further fueled by the audacity of Obama&#8217;s anti-semitic rhetoric. </p>
<p>Obama is America&#8217;s greatest trial. I hope he lives long enough to face his Nuremberg.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a fan of the idea of unity. It is a marvelous concept&#8212;-but what does it mean, is it really a virtue, and how is it obtained? </p>
<p>In our history as a nation we have seldom experienced unity. The attack on Pearl Harbor provided us a common rallying point for a month or two but then FDR decided to intern our Japanese fellow citizens. The 9-11 attacks held us together in purpose for about a week before the finger pointing began. </p>
<p>Obama was ostensibly elected by the Left to end the wars in the Middle East. Has that happened? The Left is now demanding &#8220;unity&#8221; after the Arizona shootings but they are not even unified in their own purposes. They just want to derail the juggernaut of disaffection careening their way as a result of their own divide and conquer strategy of control. Don&#8217;t fall for it. They don&#8217;t want unity. If they could they would send people like me to the gulags and you know it.</p>
<p>Looking back, Vietnam was not a rallying point for our culture or our politics. </p>
<p>We managed to hang together to defeat the Germans and the Japanese (and Italians) in WWII but were not unified, by any accounting, in that pursuit.</p>
<p>In World War One we outlawed the German language; interesting reaction considering that 29% of all Americans are of German descent, the largest single group comprising the American family. </p>
<p>Then there was the Civil War. What did that have to do with unity?</p>
<p>Our revolt against Great Britain  only managed to capture the active participation of 4% of the population of the 13 colonies. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t preach unity to me unless you are willing to gather around a firm set of principles, which, in our secular society, is embodied in our Constitution. If we can agree on that, I&#8217;m in, to a degree. We are about exercising liberty, not marching in lockstep.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every piece of legislation passed by this extraordinarily lame lame duck congress and signed by Obama should be repealed. The Pelosi and Reid agenda was fully fully rejected by the voters in November, yet they persist in flaunting the will of the electorate. This is the worst example of leadership in the history of our nation. They are not satisfied in merely taking down the Constitution; they want to drag the entire culture into the abyss, as well. </p>
<p>Harry Reid is the worst kind of politician imaginable for he holds himself out to be a faithful, God-fearing man. He would do far less damage if he was simply a crook, as are most of his fellow politicians. The Senator from Searchlight is leading our government further into the darkness. His sins are not just ideological.  Who&#8217;s errand is he on? When will he be excommunicated for his brazen immorality?</p>
<p>I call upon the leadership of his church, and mine, to hold him responsible for his detestably irresponsible actions as the most politically powerful Latter Day Saint in the history of nation and the church. He is a very dark stain upon the honor of both. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most recent WikiLeaks docu-dump contains much that we should already have surmised, most notably that Saudi Arabia is the largest bankroller of Al Qaida. No surprise there! Weren&#8217;t all 19 of the 9/11 hijackers from Saudi Arabia? </p>
<p>Where did the Saudi&#8217;s get most of their wealth? Who developed their oil infrastructure and who convinced them to value their oil exclusively in dollars? If you guessed the USA, you would be right. They have taken the money we have given to them and they have passed a sizable amount on to the terrorists. </p>
<p>So, it follows that the USA is actually the biggest funder of terrorism. Ouch! The law of unintended consequences can be brutal.</p>
