A most truthful statement. Found on a consevative weblog . In this age of Trumpisms a lie is the truth, even when its not . Just ask 30%-40% of Americans that continue to supprt the BLOTUS.

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth The following excerpt of an article written by Brent Budowsky and published in The Hill is spot on in defining Donald Trump as well as the strategy his opponents should use to defeat him. A “Trump the loser” branding strategy would weave undisputed facts into a compelling narrative that voters understand. When Trump the loser created businesses that went bankrupt, he turned workers and investors who trusted him — as Caesar trusted Brutus — into victims who lost their jobs and money because they believed in him. When Trump the loser makes money from sales of clothes made in low-wage China and complains that wages for Americans are too high, those deals helped make China great, not America. In his low-wage deals on foreign-made clothing, Trump was a friend to American workers the way Benedict Arnold was a friend to the original tea party patriots. When repeated polls show Trump the loser being overwhelmingly defeated by Hillary Clinto...

" Americans understand that the game is rigged, and they've had enough of it. They're ready to fight back. They want a Washington that works for them. "People are getting more engaged, politically, and they're seeing through a lot of the rhetoric that politicians have been throwing out there for a long time. They want to see some real change, and I think that's what we need to work on . " Few, at least those who have been paying attention, would disagree with the above remarks. Washington has indeed become a place of special interests, politicians detached from reality, gridlock and obstruction, halls of smoke and mirrors, a symphony of distractions, in short dysfunctional ; and the American people are paying the price. If people are indeed getting engaged we can only hope it will be reflected in increasing voter registration of eligible voters and greater turnouts at the polls. Oh, BTW, the above quote? Senator Elizabeth Warren . Via: Memeorand...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny I am, above all a classical liberal thinker. One who understands Randian principles as well as those of the founding fathers of this great nation. Although not entirely synonymous in all respects they are as relates to government and the rights of all mankind to be free of tyrannical government. Liberalism, properly understood in the context of the era in which is flourished, the Age of Reason and The Age of Enlightenment , is in fact a good and positive philosophy. Unfortunately liberalism of the 21st century is not representative of what was indeed the soul of the classical liberal movement. American conservatism, which essentially became a effort to conserve classical liberalism, is today as large a failure as is modern liberalism itself. Liberalism is essentially recognizing the right of the individual to control their own lives in so long as they do not harm another. As liberalism began to turn more towards sta...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Universal truth... If there is any such thing mankind has been searching for it throughout the millenniums. With each new scientific discovery old, and oftentimes cherished paradigms are laid open and bare. Stripped of the cover of ignorance that only new knowledge and understanding is capable of exposing. Habits are a hard thing to break and more often than not new and enlightened thought is resisted in order to retain the old. It matters not  the evidence that rationally argues for change. More often than not it is met by resistance. Had all of mankind chosen to turn away from new knowledge to retain the the old we would still be living in caves as in pre historic times. Diseases such as the bubonic plaque, malaria, polio, tuberculosis, scurvy, pneumonia, smallpox, mumps gonorrhea, syphilis, just to name a few would still be exacting ravaging consequences on humanity. And the world would still be believed to be f...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny American Bald Eagle - Representing Freedom and Liberty A short speech you'll NEVER hear from any candidate, of either party, who is seeking their party's nomination for the office of President of the United States. "My fellow Americans, be not deterred in your search for reason and rational thought.. Do not turn from your quest to find truth and an understanding of objective reality. Be ever suspicious of those circling on the far left as well as those on the far right, as they are your enemy. Indeed they are the enemy of constitutionally limited government and liberty. Be afraid, very afraid of those who would have you believe the state, with its power hungry special interest manipulators, the ones who advocate increased dependency in statism as the answer to our problems. They simply will provide us with more chains to wrap around our already crippled liberties. Yes my fellow Americans, we fac...

by: Pamela D. Hart I attended Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally Saturday. My decision to attend wasn’t planned. As a matter of fact it was completely spur of the moment. My dad called me Friday afternoon, when I was at work, and asked if I would be interested in going with him and my mom, thus with my answer being affirmative, he told me to be ready at 3:30 a.m. We arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 11 a.m. with the rally already in full swing. The crowd was immense. People were sitting between the columns, on the steps and walking around it. They were packed full on both sides of the Reflection Pond and beyond. The aerial view photos are a bit distorting because you can’t see all the people who were beneath the Cherry Blossom trees. I know because I walked the cement pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the WWII Memorial, which was tree-covered and it too was packed full with people sitting on chairs, blankets, the grass or just standing. We found a nice shady spot on the Atlantic si...
