  Decline and Fall of the USA

  • J. D. Longstreet (Insight On Freedom)

    Is this still America?
    Texas Republican Congressman Kevin Brady asked during the IRS hearings last week: "Is this still America?" Good Question. It is a question we have asked with great frequency for a number of years now. As much as I despise having to say it, we are witnessing an America in decline today. We can sugar-coat it, we can parse it, we can ignore it, all at our peril.

    A bee in their bonnet
    Anti-pesticide activists falsely blame new pesticides for bee colony problems
    Anti-pesticide activists are at it again. Forty-plus years ago, their target was DDT – and their successful campaign to get this long-lasting spatial repellant and insecticide banned resulted in millions of parents and children dying needlessly from malaria. This time they’ve got a bee in their bonnet. This time their target is a new class of safe pesticides called neonicotinoids (because they are derived from nicotine). Their campaign strategy revolves around the claim that the pesticides are causing “colony collapse disorder” (CCD), a very real problem that’s adversely affecting bee populations in many countries. Not surprisingly, the pressure groups are demanding that neonics be banned immediately, long before scientists can determine what’s really causing CCD and how to address the problem. If the radicals win, the result will likely be as devastating for bees and agriculture as the DDT ban has been for African families.

  Corruption in Government

  • Tom Barrett (Publisher, Editor, Conservative Truth)

    A Culture Of Intimidation
    There is no question that the awesome power of the White House allows a president to have some impact on the culture of the nation. But when it comes to the bureaucrats who run the federal government, he creates the culture. In the case of our current president, the culture is one of intimidation. And every agency of the government understands this and obeys. There are hundreds of examples of Obama administration bureaucrats intimidating honest, tax-paying citizens of the United States.

    Benghazi Crossfire: Can White House And State Dept. Dodge Their Own Bullet Talking Points?
    Republicans argue that the purpose of the ongoing investigations is to find the truth in a tangled web of defensive deceptions. They believe that the ARB, which was appointed by Mrs. Clinton, didn’t dig deeply enough and that serious questions remain. Lawmakers have criticized the ARB panel for not interviewing top administration officials, very much including former Secretary of State Clinton. The three “whistleblowers” who testified this month before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Gregory Hicks, Mark Thompson, and Eric Nordstrom, all observed that the ARB panel appeared to fix blame on career professionals below appointed ranks, whereby those responsible have not been held to account.

    Benghazi 'Cover-Up to Protect Hillary'
    Ambassador Christopher Stevens was in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, the day he died in a terrorist attack, because Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered him there, according to an exclusive statement given to WND by the attorney representing Gregory Hicks, the former State Department deputy chief of mission and chargé d’affairs who was in Libya at the time of the attack.

  Imperial Presidency

  • Gerald V. Todd

    Obama admits he is a Socialist? So what?
    Given our level of government dependency, being a confessed socialist is great cover for what I believe Obama really is - a supreme caliph-in-waiting.
    Haven't we blindly spent trillions in American treasure and technology and thousands of American lives and wounded to see every country we supposedly are freeing from despots end up with Sharia law in their constitutions?

    Obama is failing as CEO of America, Inc.
    The Obama Credo of Management: We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can.
    CEOs of large organizations hire competent managers for their units, set goals and establish clear metrics for evaluating performance. As in politics, competition in business is tough, and CEOs must set ethical boundaries for their managers’ conduct. In all this, the CEO’s personal conduct is critical. Early in his presidency, Mr. Obama flaunted American constitutional tradition by pushing through an unpopular and massive piece of major social legislation, ObamaCare, without any bipartisan compromise and not even a consensus. And he relied on a legislative sleight of hand to pass the Senate. And then he lied about it. Simply, Mr. Obama’s hard left agenda requires him to treat the Constitution and Congress as mere inconveniences – expediency is his ethical standard.

    Biden Blamed in SEAL Team Six Deaths
    The families of three fallen Navy SEAL Team Six members say President Obama and Vice President Biden are culpable for the deaths of their sons for publicly identifying the unit that killed Osama bin Laden and pursuing policies that coddle Muslims and put our own troops at a tactical disadvantage. Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch and the attorney representing three of the families who lost their sons stated, “Biden did something, which was more than irresponsible. He served on foreign relations committees, intelligence committees. He knew, or should have known, what he was doing. He should be held accountable. Frankly, he should even be held criminally accountable...”
