 This principle of constitutional liberty, when applied to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), reveals a frightening truth about the powers illegally granted the President in that legislation.
As has been recounted many times (never enough, however, given the urgency of the situation in which our Republic is now found) in this magazine and elsewhere, in various provisions of the NDAA, the Congress granted to the President the power to deploy the military of the United States to arrest and indefinitely detain American citizens inside or outside of the United States suspected by him (the President) of posing a military threat to national security. …………..

He’s the guy in “The Social Network” who cuts Facebook their first real, bona fide investor check for $500,000. Thiel became Facebook’s first investor in 2004, famously handing over the check with the admonition, “Just don’t fuck it up.”

Before investing in Facebook Theil had co-founded PayPal, which he took public in 2002 and which Ebay acquired a year later for $1.5 billion. Thiel’s stake in PayPal at the time of the acquisition was apparently worth $55 million. …..

Sentiment for gold at the end of January compares starkly with late December, when prices dropped by more than 10 percent in their biggest monthly fall since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in an investor dash for cash.

- Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

There were not many surprises in President Obama’s 2012 state of the union addresson Tuesday. He touted what he claims are the accomplishments of his administration and pushed his left-leaning economic agenda. For the president, all economic growth has its roots in some sort of government intervention, including “help financing a new plant, equipment, or training for new workers,” giving “community colleges the resources they need to become community career centers,” or trying to “spur energy innovation with new incentives.” Of course, further expanding a government that already spends about 50% more than it collects in taxes can only be accomplished one way – by collecting a lot more taxes.

To this end, the president resorted to the perennial liberal/progressive mantra that everyone “pay their fair share.” Obama used this term three times during the speech in regard to taxes. As even many of the Republican presidential candidates seem to buy into it, the president was also unable to resist the urge to promote the latest left-wing myth that millionaires like Mitt Romney pay less in taxes than their secretaries. This is complete nonsense, of course, but it is effective in eliciting the appropriate outrage from people who don’t stop to do either some simple math or even a little critical thinking.

For the president, there doesn’t seem to be a ceiling on what anyone’s fair share might be. However, he does have a clearly defined floor. “If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes.” Exactly why that number is “fair” or even the millionaire’s “share” is somewhat difficult to determine. Neither does Obama answer the question that should logically follow. If you make under $1 million per year, what is your fair share in taxes?

Warren fear-mongered the Stewart audience ‘We will have no future’ and then she began selling government as the solution to many problems that government cannot solve. Warren is a Democratic Party candidate in the 2012 United States Senate election in Massachusetts.

Elizabeth Warren chaired Congressional oversight of the 2008 U.S. banking bailout (TARP), and led the conception and establishment of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Doyle defended Congressman Paul and then during his show stated that Fox News has tried to essentially shake him up with threats.

Jack Hunter defends Ron Paul against Bill O’Reilly during the interview with Jerry Doyle. Hunter explains the absurdity of O’Reilly’s hit piece calling it ‘completely disgusting and completely dishonest. Jack then points out the character of Dr. Paul and his true positions on ending the war on drugs vs. putting drugs in the hands of children as O’Reilly also states during his show.

Enjoy!
