daily timewaster

And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

In 1950, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America.

Today, such flush times are nothing but a painful dream.

What happened?

The same thing that Democrats have planned for America.  The same thing that is happening in California right now.

Ripped from today's headlines: nearly half of small businesses are not hiring out of fear on Obamacare and over regulation by government.

The food police grab away your kid's lunch, while at the same time the PC police require your home to be filled with poisonous curly light bulbs.

Government corruption runs rampant, wasting billions in dirty inside deals with favored businesses.
