Minnesota Senator Al Franken: How His Vote Could Matter

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously declared Al Franken the winner of the longest contest for U.S. Senate in the state’s history on Tuesday. After nearly eight months, millions of dollars in legal fees, two appeals and a recount, G.O.P. incumbent Norm Coleman conceded gracefully, telling reporters in front of his St. Paul home, “I have [...]

Corporate Ethics and Treason

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Halliburton, Dick Cheney’s notorious U.S. energy company, sold key nuclear-reactor components to a private Iranian oil company called Oriental Oil Kish as recently as 2005, using offshore subsidiaries to circumvent U.S. sanctions. This clip shows Democratic Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) grilling Sherry Williams, V.P. and Corporate Secretary for Halliburton about the [...]

Trust our government?

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Many who agree with me on a lot of other issues, do not understand my enthusiasm for gold and sound money or why I spend so much time studying and talking about monetary policy. It’s true that I talk about money differently than most, but the fact is sound money offers many benefits. For example [...]

A national energy tax that will affect you every time you flip on a light switch!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will look to give President Obama’s Administration control of yet another sector of the U.S. economy by passing the Waxman-Markey global warming bill. In case you’ve forgotten, the Obama Administration is already running the banking industry, the home mortgage industry, and the auto industry. Now, the Obama Administration wants [...]

“Gay Culture”

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Everyone should recognize that homosexuality as well as those who have identified themselves as such have always existed, and in every civilization.
It would be foolish to suspect that such human occurrences didn’t exist in Biblical times, or among “cave men” for that matter.
The question is, what is the real root of this modern day cultural [...]

Ooops! I got pregnant and the father was long gone.

Monday, June 29th, 2009

At 18 in the 60’s, I was sexually active and terrified that my parents would find out how I was living my life. Ooops! I got pregnant and the father was long gone. I didn’t even know his last name. Now what was I supposed to do? Like many young women at the time I [...]

I want to have the baby aborted.

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Please do not think I am not a real person. I graduated college 2 years ago and have had the same boyfriend for 4 years. We had unprotected sex which we know is wrong. I have missed my last 2 periods and went to the drugstore and got a pregnancy test and it was positive. [...]

Government Comes to the Rescue

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Mankind managed to survive three phases of fear about global warming and cooling without massive bureaucracy and government intervention, but aggressive lobbying by environmental groups finally changed that reality.
The Kyoto treaty, new emissions standards and foreign regulations are but a few examples.
Getting the government involved to control the weather isn’t a new concept. When the [...]

So where are the courts?

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Despite the convoluted interpretations of the fourth amendment the language is plain as was the intention of the writers. The entire patriot act and the subsequent suspension of Habeus Corpus is a clear violation of the rights granted the people by the constitution. The Supreme Court is bound by its charter to act in reference [...]
