In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough said this about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior.

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; they simply have not existed as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters…

Here is an easy to understand look that puts this issue clearly  in perspective ~ by David Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Equitas Capital Advisors LLC.

The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of…

DEBATE

Without debate or criticism no republic can survive. Tea Party patriots have no fear of public scrutiny of our positions because from scrutiny comes understanding, support or opposition and all are necessary in a republic. Public understanding and support or opposition comes from facts put forth in the debate. Sometimes it comes from realization that lies and personal attacks are being used by the attacker to camouflage a lack of substance.

Politicians wringing their hands over how to create more jobs might study the shale boom along the New York and Pennsylvania border.  It's a case study in one state embracing economic opportunity, while the other has let environmental politics trump development, says the Wall Street Journal.

The Marcellus shale formation offers one of the biggest natural gas opportunities.  Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell recognized that potential and set up a regulatory framework to encourage…

When Jean Chretien became prime minister in 1993, Canada faced a fiscal and economic breakdown. The government's share of the economy had climbed to 53 percent in 1992, from 28 percent in 1960. The new administration slashed spending.  Unemployment benefits were cut by nearly 40 percent. The ratio of spending cuts to tax increases was nearly 7-to-1.  Federal employment was reduced by 14 percent.  Canada's national railway and air-traffic-control system were privatized.  The economy…

On Thursday (7/21/2011) House Speaker Boehner told Rush Limbaugh “I’m concerned that we’re getting into uncharted territory that could wreak great havoc on our nation, and I don’t think it’s necessary to get into that unknown zone and take the chance…”.

The topic at hand was the debt ceiling and clearly Boehner feels compelled to raise the debt ceiling – to avoid the “uncharted territory” and the “unknown zone” that surely awaited the nation.

For those that remember the…

E- Department of Education

F- Federal Highway Administration

G- Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyard Administration

As the Presidential primary season begins to take shape, there are now ten plus candidates either running or threatening to join the campaign.  Two of those ten actually hold the "Tea Party" values.  The rest will campaign as advocates for small government, lower taxes and following the Constitution but in the end will fail us. 

I believe that Ron Paul is the only hope we have to save this country.  Gary Johnson is a very close second and the remainder of the field offers us…

This is outrageous!!!!

1% tax on all bank transactions… Obama’s New "Debt Free America Act" (H.R. 4646) - ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.

OK, so we know that Attorney General Eric Holder testified before House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa's committee on May 3, 2011 that "he only learned about the government's sale of weapons to Mexican drug cartels "in the last few weeks."

But we also know Holder gave a speech on April 2, 2009 in Cuernavaca, Mexico in which he boasted about Operation 'Gunrunner” and told Mexican authorities of everything he was doing to "insure its…

Churchill once quipped that "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".

Likewise, the 906 page "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" is a turd wrapped in corruption inside a trojan horse.

But who actualy wrote ObamaCare?

Anthony Weiner claimed at a Middle Village Property Tax Association townhall that he was the author.  This seems unlikely given that he was too busy tweeting nude pics of himself to barely legal colege co-eds to have…

"Obama Care Explained"

Let me get this straight . . .

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care

plan we are forced to purchase and

fined if we don't,

Which purportedly covers at least

ten million more people,

without adding a single new doctor,

but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,

written by a committee whose chairman

says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that didn't read it but

exempted themselves from it,…

I recently published an article on Examiner.com addressing the enviro-contradiction between global warming and global cooling, and I just wanted to pose a question to the TPPWOC community:

Of all the anti-growth, destructive, totalitarian policies that progressives/liberals are trying to jam down our throats, which ones do you think are…
