Freedom in Afghanistan must progress to become something that ALL Afghans want to live for.. Something must break the cycle, to afirm this country's place in the 21 century...

No man has failed who, in his heart and life contribution, has sought a better life for his fellow man... As long as the Taliban keeps the country from progress, and enables an illegal drug enterprise; the people will live and die poor...

But there are so many other options...

They could be known for herb/med research, instead of tolerating illegal Drug Lords... The world of medicine and technology could put Afghanistan on a path of education & prosperity.

This region has a responsible role to play, yet our fine men & women, and contractors & treasure, battle with this country for our safety.... Afghans could be greater than the vision that they hold for themselves, amongst rich land, & opportunity to develop LEGAL medicine... It could be AFGHANS who might help those, less fortunate, who need world crops...

Here-in lie some of the finest ski resorts! A sense of community that many a man around the globe saw potential; and gave his all to make it so. But they must want to reverse poverty & oppression, as we all have, & continue to do so.

The Democrat's strive toward a one party monolithic control of Government, is NOT supported by our Constitution... Today we see history in the making, as Democrats pass a bill out of the environmental public works committee w/out one minority (GOP) present...
The Rules: Two minorities must be present, for a bill to pass to floor from committee. (more below)

In my view... This disenfranchises voters who loose representational input, guaranteed by our Constitution. Due to this (and many other) violations; we could state the need to begin to repeal the 17th Amendment and addresses the abusive hegemony committed by the U. S. Senate! I'm sending this over to a very influential Law firm in DC, for review...

Sen Rockefeller comments, "Do people think that we are trending to the things they care about? And then affirms that what really matters right now for voters, is the focus of finding and keeping jobs...

Senator Inhofe (R-OK)…"That’s exactly right, my state in Oklahoma is not as bad as many of the states, but jobs; that’s it. Right now what we should be doing right now, is passing a highway bill a road bill, get construction going, start getting jobs moving. Instead of all these ideological things."

Will keep you updated on the matter (above) It's my belief that in order to respect our Constitution, we have to be ready to stand to defend it... And we will see many more efforts of private citizens, as they come forth...

Video Conversations with Nassim Taleb (concerning bonuses, bail-outs, etc)

Back then, Nassim Taleb had suggested compartmentalization of institutions; but now, as tax-payers assume risky bank's debt-burden; Democrat's "too big to fail" is crushing small banks. The far left is not the group to nationalize. (There's vanishing public trust.)

But, as the far-left also refused Conservative's incentive recovery; where's their profit and loss statement for converting Capitalist to Socialist economy?

Freedom of the markets (not propped failure) remains the most congruent way at which toxic assets are purged, and the only logical way that balance can be restored... And, as Mr. Taleb insists, private citizens should not be exposed to bank sector risk...

Healthcare overhaul: Will US Congress choice be Anabolic or Catabolic?

Fair analogy, as the overhaul objective is to lower premium and medical costs, provide affordable coverage, and reform Medicare... And this can be done in a very anabolic way, simply through environment of state's competition amidst 78% private Insured. This would spark reformation on all levels thus engaging not only higher standards, but a range of plans by entities, with a great deal of experience in offering a larger scope of coverage...

This plan is really the only choice, as leaves Ins Co "Tax-base" still supplying the US Gov, and Hospitals still able to receive foreign paid health services... And avoids mass Insurance Co. layoffs in the private sector...

Increased surplus funds available from increased private sector... would be the correction for "Medicare".. But this would be contingent upon a fiscally responsible Government, ready to trim spending and cease to replicate unsustainable policy...

Article 1 Section 7 of the Constitution.
The Senate isn’t Constitutionally authorized to propose new taxes. They can amend tax measures that the House has sent over, but they can’t originate a new revenue measure.

Democrats are amending existing House Bills with revenue provisions; and assume that we will not challenge this on 'Constitutional grounds.'

Various experts confirm beyond a doubt, that there will not be a USD collapse; as excess debt is forced out and defaulted through the system.

Yes, there's always "some" chorus of skepticism and doom...
And a few drunken Government spenders...
-Bridge of Size: Steyn on America

And then there's "Crazy-Joe" Biden....

There's one thing to be said.... America lives in a fish-bowl, as every transaction, every inquiry ... (Unlike others.)

In private sector, 40 trillion pumps (via simple transaction) in-and-out of the veins of our economy... And a Government that pulls it out faster!

With less Bank transparency read.

AMERICANS REJECT THE BLOATED GOV. SPENDING PROGRAMS WHICH LACK RESPECT FOR LIVING WITHIN OUR MEANS... VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

Karl says this:
"The US Consumer will go from a negative savings rate to a seriously-positive one. I am predicting 4% in 2009 but it could go as high as 10%. The math on this is simple - the "consumerist legion of more" has run its course and all that's left is debt.

It hurts and bad; expecting the American Consumer to cut off his other arm is just plain dumb. By the way this is a good thing in the longer term for America once the excess debt is forced out and defaulted through the system." ~Denninger

I BLAME EXCESS FEAR... Damaged belief-systems, aid crisis...
BIG SCREEN VIDEO: Here's the worst one. (haha)

To this, efforts today are but the need to allow the people freedom to stimulate their own economy; instead of BIG GOVERNMENT... Hopefully OBAMA GOV. will be forced to REDUCE its size!!!!!

Efforts to secure Afghanistan are global, and troops International; as Obama Administration hits a stalled patch, and tries to find blame...

Truth be known, Democrats are about to discover a whole new world of accountability, post U.S. Pres. Inauguration... Rove responds to the White House attacks, with details of the Afghan's many accomplishments...

He let not soldier's sacrifices be over-looked...
(Precisely why Americans abandon Obama-media!)

Unfortunately, as truth also be known; between NASA water systems, roads, schools, hospitals, and new Mosques; we fought U.S. Congressional left, in Afghanistan...

Operation: "Can You Hear Us Now?" nationwide media protests

noreply@blogger.com (M. Barbay) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:08:00 +0000

Saturday's protests against media bias outside the studios of ABC News and CBS News in Chicago, during their live broadcasts... They're a media who took its orders, and...OVER one million, two hundred and fifty thousand [9/12/09] voices, from 52 states, "conveniently" disappeared.

"CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?!" (read more below)

Via: the partiot rooom
The Chicago Tea Party Patriots held a protest March on the Media...
More here.

The Media has failed the American people, as they forgo their duty as a free press... "We the people intend this day to act as a "shot across the bow" so to speak as a warning to the ships in the Main Stream Biased Media fleet.

"Return to patrolling the waters of democracy with objectivity, fairness and balance. Act once again as a check on political corruption and tyranny instead of being a party to it. Ignore this "warning shot" to your own peril. If you continue to persist in your complicit behavior with big government and the political establishment, you shall suffer the same fate as the proud Titanic – sunken this time by a colossal iceberg called "WE THE PEOPLE"

Approximately 100 patriots gathered at 4:00pm outside of ABC news studios on State Street in Chicago. We sang God Bless America, The National Anthem and chanted "report the news" "do your jobs" "can you hear us now?" etc...

After about 1/2 hour, we marched on over to CBS News studios. The folks at CBS saw us coming and pulled down the window shades to the studio...
LOL, cowards...
More chanting commenced.

Alternative to U.S. Democrat's Tax System

The flat tax revolution has been especially strong in former Soviet-bloc nations, a rather ironic development since a so-called progressive income tax was a key tenet of Marx's Communist Manifesto... Now low tax robust growth.

As U.S. Democrats continue their pursuit of the largest tax increases in our Nation's history... They are fully advised NOT to enter into lock-step with foreign contracts, guarded against by Constitutional principals.

(Pelosi's way to pay for unfunded liabilities.) ...Vote them all out!

Globally, there are now 24 flat tax jurisdictions (actually 25, but we didn't know about Trinidad & Tobago when the video was filmed), a remarkable development given the ideological opposition to tax reform from special interest groups and class warfare advocates... (Video: 2008)

I believe that as free and Independent States, we will push for this tax reform in the coming month's elections... And this would be the very best jump start for the recovery of our Nation...

Due to the numerous "special interests" that we observed in the bailouts... It is unlikely that Democrats would choose the flat tax route; but I believe that Americans will choose fresh new faces in Senate & House... As polls indicate.

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths... Of exquisite interrelationships... Of the awesome machinery of nature.. ~ Sagan (1934-1996)

And in this interpretation of light...

A still more glorious dawn awaits... Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns...

More Lyrics:
The sky calls to us... If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars...

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

VIDEO: NASA's KEPLER: VIEW.

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting...
