    As the political treadmill ROUND and ROUND, and the extremes in both major parties continue their mutually destructive agenda's without regard to the nations health, few of the nations citizens and true patriots will take the time to understand the issues confronting the nation and thereby confronting them.

    Sad it is that sound bites and non stop biased reporting from MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and even FOX to a degree is how the majority of the electorate gather their info and make important decisions.

    Half of the nation is asleep, lulled by the siren song of entitlements for all and no need for responsibility for ones decisions, and the other half believe its not really important.

    A certain recipe for unrest and ultimate uprising.

    As we twiddle DC burns...

    Thank you Clinton, Bush, Obama. AND THE US CONGRESS!!!!

    Anyone willing to bet, how long before we become the UK? Taking on all comers...

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leadership of the current occupant of the Peoples House and Impostor in Chief.
