The Reagan presidency reconciled three elements that often seemed opposed to each other. These were the social, fiscal and defense conservatives respectively.

Today's world is much different than that of 1980 when Reagan began making his stump speeches across the country igniting a wave of prairie fires caused by discontent with big government. But the principles are the same. Limited government and lower taxes, keeping the federal government at bay.

Today there is no central national leader to lead the charge. Instead, the wave of indignation is occurring spontaneously at tea parties and town hall meetings nationwide. The lesson of November 3 is that Americans are reasserting their God given liberty which transcends political categories. Either the politicians will get on board, or they will face extinction in the upcoming elections.

Those who view Doug Hoffman's showing in New York's 23rd as a defeat completely miss the point of the reawakening process. As in the days of Ronald Reagan, this is all about redistribution, but not as Obama's supporters envision.

While the MSM has predictably jumped on the Obama bandwagon in distinguishing between the Iraq war as a war of choice as opposed to the Afghanistan war of necessity, the fact remains that both wars together have taken a huge toll in terms of American lives, economic resources, and world recognition. The criticism leveled against Bush 43 for leading American forces into Iraq is not altogether justified. There had to be some strong military response after 9/11. To blame everything on Al Qaeda, and the Afghan Taliban for harboring Al Qaeda, seems simplistic at best. Saddam's regime was far more brutal and dictatorial than that of the Taliban, and was responsible for some of the terrorist violence preceding 9/11.

Unfortunately, America's war crimes, particularly those directed against detainees many of whom were demonstrably innocent, more than offset any rational justification for war at this point. Capitalism breeds vindictiveness. The legitimate goal of interrogation gave way to the temptation to exact vengeance and to dehumanize and ridicule.

Obama's exit strategy is the beginning of our economic recovery. Iraq and Afghanistan will never become like us. The sooner we realize this, the better.

Before the Freedom of Information Act, the government only released whatever information it wanted to release. Today, the government only releases what it wants because of corrupt judges and Senators who change the meaning of the law in specific cases.

Fox News recently filed an FOI Claim demanding the release of the financial records of the Federal Reserve having to do with TARP. The result? A federal justice orders the release of exactly one document and then dismisses the rest of the action without explanation.

The government was ordered on appeal to release evidence of misconduct with regard to Iraq and Afghanistan. The result? Senators Graham and Lieberman have introduced bipartisan legislation supported by the president that would exempt certain photographic records taken between September 11, 2001 and January 22, 2009 which happens to be the anniversary of Roe vs Wade.

The government has already released photographs and videos of mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib in 2004 which, because of their pornographic nature, have diminished American prestige throughout the world and seriously endanger our troops. The question arises, were not these photographs and videos bad enough? Is the unreleased evidence even more damning than the released evidence? This would be the inescapable conclusion of a Democratic Congress amending the FOA, which already has a national security exemption with which the government is unable to comply, to exclude the very evidence that the federal appellate justice ordered produced.

The released photos include evidence of forced nudity, sleep deprivation, masturbation in front of our soldiers, rape, and dogs used to scare and bite detainees.

In all probability, the unreleased photographs show even worse forms of abuse. What could be worse except than certain forms of indecency which would prove that the homosexual agenda traitors, again sponsored by certain Senators and Congressional Representatives who have betrayed America, are allowed to act with impunity? Adolf Hitler himself was known to practice coprophilia. The LA Times ran a story after the Iraq invasion in 2003 about a sexual sadist who held a command position in Iraq.  If America does not act to expel this subculture of sexual perverts in our government and in our military, and stop the massive increases in unpaid government debt, we as a nation will very soon be facing the same fate as Germany did in 1949.

This evidence must be released to quell the speculation about America at home and abroad, and to expose and punish those in our government who allowed this thing to happen, both the abuses under predominantly Republican administrations and the cover-ups under predominantly Democrat administrations including Senators Graham and Lieberman. Punishment is warranted for violations of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1658-1659 which ended the Thirty Years War, and the Geneva Conventions and decisions at Nuremberg after WWII.

America must first come clean by releasing all of the evidence, and then start telling our ungrateful allies and surrogates throughout the world that we have our own problems to deal with.

Since the infamous Supreme Court decisions of 1973, the major focus of pro-life activity has been to seek the overthrow of these decisions in the courts. Of far more importance, in my estimation, is seeking redress for the killings that have already taken place.

The American people should start by bringing to justice the Florida judge who sentenced Terri Schiavo to death. This would send a clear message that America will no longer tolerate politicians or government officials involved in the killing of innocent persons.

This will require that Americans band together to clear the deck of all corrupt judges at the state and federal levels, and bring an entirely new slate of Congressmen and Senators to Washington.

95% of American wealth is owned and controlled by 5% of the American people, who then tell Congress and the President what to do. We must act together to turn the pyramid on our dollar bill upside down, so that the majority of Americans again have the final say in deciding at the local level what we do as a nation.

This may require constitutional amendments to bring to justice the crooks in Washington including those on the bench. They cannot get off the hook just by saying they were following the law. This principle was decided at Nuremberg after WWII.

While it is important to bring to justice fugitives like Polanski who have harmed innocent people, of far more importance is it to begin the process of rebuilding America by focusing our attention on punishing those in government who are destroying America.

Historians are now beginning to reexamine the role of Sir Winston Churchill in taking down the British Empire. While none of us can say for sure what effect the Bush presidencies have or will have on America, it is worthwhile to look at the track record.

The Values March in Washington DC this weekend marks the beginning of a new era. Ostensibly a disparate group of Americans each having their own issues, in actuality this was the first time in which the premises of Liberalism were seriously challenged. It reminds me of the small breaches that first arose in the flawed St. Francis Dam (pictured above) above the San Fernando Valley before the dam finally broke sending water crashing all the way out to the Pacific Ocean.

Liberals in both major political parties apparently just don't get that their time in government is coming to an end. Just last week, a California Assemblyman who supported family values was forced to resign for talking trash in front of an open microphone in the legislative chamber. This faux pas was a relatively minor infraction of decorum. In contrast, Congressman Joe Wilson is widely acclaimed for shouting out during the President's speech to a joint session of Congress. Both actions were inappropriate, yet the electorate can understand and appreciate the Congressman's frustration at the President's duplicity and obfuscations on health care.

What we are seeing is the beginning of a spiritual revival in which the social conservatives who have always opposed abortion are beginning to persuade the majority of citizens toward their way of thinking, because the alternative just doesn't work. As the majority shifts to oppose abortion, the tide is turning against liberalism. Americans will no longer tolerate egotism in government.

The Obamaites in the media continue to repeat the mantra that the Obamacare proposal will not force American taxpayers to pay for abortions. Yet it was the same Obama administration that scuttled the Mexico City Policy so that they could fund abortions abroad with our tax dollars. How can any intelligent American believe that this plan drummed up by Rahm Emanuel will not lead to government coercion to kill the terminally ill and elderly among us? Rahm's brother Ezekiel, chairman of the department of bioethics at the National Institute of Health, has himself made the point that the bill will use a person's age as a basis for denial of health care benefits because older Americans theoretically will have had greater access to health care when they were younger and able to work. Rahm again is only looking out for Israel where abortion is against the law, and he is trying to weaken America so that Israel will not be left out in the cold after decades of dependency on America.

This health care plan amounts to treason by Obama and the liberals in Congress. America cannot wait until the killing of our senior citizens, and citizens with serious disabilities, becomes commonplace. We must act now to bring the traitorous scoundrels to justice. America must act independently in order to promote good in the world. This isn't just about grandma anymore. It is an attack against America.

Health care is only the tip of the iceberg. Anger and contempt for federal and state government have been building up for decades, and all because of betrayals and mismanagement of the few in government which were distorted by mass media outlets.

Take for example the case of Terry Schiavo. There was absolutely no reason for her to die. The courts promulgated a grave injustice equal to, if not worse than, racial segregation. President Kennedy used federal marshals in 1963 to stop racial segregation despite objections by governor George Wallace standing outside the classroom door in Alabama. Why could not something similar have been done for Terry Schiavo? Either of the Bush brothers could have acted to save a woman's life. If anyone was ever deprived of constitutional rights, she was. Yet there was no action forthcoming either in Florida or at the federal level. So why should Americans believe that the government cares about their health or well-being, and stand back idly while Congress and the President set up another Draconian nightmare of bureaucratic red tape? Has this socialistic approach ever worked in the past?

John McCain brilliantly began to tap into this groundswell in nominating Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. The trouble was that he didn't follow through. McCain was overly committed to the neo-conservative agenda of Randy Scheunemann and Joe Lieberman who perceived Palin as being a major threat to war funding for Israel. McCain refused to allow her to let the genie out of the bottle by addressing the pro-life gathering in Minnesota outside the convention. Taking this subject off the table in 2008 only unleashed the anger expressed at town hall gatherings in 2009. Today, most Americans feel betrayed by Congress, the President, and the Courts, and rightly so.

It may well be that this betrayal is a manifestation of the stage of capitalism in which we are now living. Any society that takes selfishness to the extreme to which America has done, and has deliberately shunned religion and morality from public life, will be faced with big problems.

Liberals in government have dug themselves into a deep hole. Like their predecessors during the French Revolution, they are now forced to either accept a flawed agenda of more and more government sponsored killing, or put their own careers and lives in danger because their past actions are criminal and punishable by any just standard of law. Let us hope that our nation can resolve these conflicts and not fall into the cycle of reprisals for past misdeeds.

The majority of Americans are learning the hard way how to conserve non-renewable resources, protect the environment, and to share the wealth with others who are less fortunate. This is being done not by altruism, but rather by default. The unholy alliance between the super-rich, government, media and academia has given rise to ever bigger demands being made by fringe elements and minorities, with ever growing attempts to marginalize and disenfranchise the white majority. The upshot of all this is that everyone is forced to settle for less in terms of material goods and to cut down on unnecessary consumption which is often detrimental anyway.

Globalization will necessitate tougher economic and financial controls and regulations. This is already happening with increased regulation of credit card companies to protect debtors from unscrupulous, usurious lending practices and perhaps also from identity theft.

Quality health care is gradually being extended to all strata of society. For this to work, government must wisely uphold an ethic based upon respect for all human life to insure that medical services are not reduced to a mere commodity to be sold to the highest bidder. The frustration and anger over the proposed health care reforms is genuine. The majority of working Americans are tired of subsidizing those who are not loyal American citizens and those who refuse to work and are only interested in tearing down the majority culture.

Our greatest challenge is to uphold our true values of charity and justice against the prevailing tide of selfishness and greed. This will require real reform in knocking the self-proclaimed nabobs, gurus and elites off their imaginary pedestals.

Sonia Sotomayor's pathetic confirmation hearings typify everything that is wrong with America. Judges including Sotomayor use as an excuse for withholding or denying justice that they are just applying the law as though law were some abstract mathematical construct. Does Sotomayor think that she is fooling the American people? Does she think that it is funny that hard working firefighters have to jump through legal hoops to obtain justice because judges like her don't care about justice, but only follow a skewed and exaggerated interpretation of precedent? Before judges can even comprehend what precedent means they must have a firm grasp of the particular civilization of which these cases are only a reflection. Being outside of the cultural mainstream, they have no depth and can only add wrong precedent. The Supreme Court did not change precedent in ruling against Sotomayor and the other appellate court justices. The lower court did not know what it was doing, or they deliberately chose to deny justice to American citizens.

Senator Dodd boasts that he and his colleagues have excessively exquisite health care at essentially zero cost, while everyone outside the federal system must pay both taxes and insurance premiums for substandard, costly job-related medical coverage. I suppose Dodd thinks it's a big joke that he and his ilk in government are giving people outside the mainstream free health care and using them as a club against the majority in society, and acting as though they don't get that killing has consequences.

Well we have got news for you Chris Dodd. All groups of people outside the mainstream of society are there for a reason. They are the people whose time has already come and gone. The future of America belongs to those who stand up for truth. Stop spending our tax money to kill babies, Senators. Stop playing around.

Sarah Palin is hated by the liberal boneheads because she represents mainstream America. There will be a just accounting for each and every arrogant mistake, rebuff, and injustice taking for granted the majority of American citizens. The minorities outside the mainstream have been allowed sufficient time to show whether they are loyal or disloyal. We have allowed fools to run the show for too long and it is time for a day of reckoning in which the power of the majority will have to be used to the extent necessary to bring minorities into the mainstream, or if they still choose to destroy the majority, they will end up destroying themselves. Our patience is at an end.

As shown in the picture at right taken on November 27, 2008, Michael Jackson's three children bear a strong resemblance to their father. Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. is pictured on the left, Paris Michael Katherine in the center, and Michael II at bottom of photograph. Obviously they have a darker complexion than the two other children who are unrelated. It is often the case that children of a white mother and a black father have a skin color somewhat in between. Each of the children also has brown eyes, with the daughter's being a lighter color.

Deborah Rowe contends that she is the biological mother of the two oldest Jackson children, and that they were both conceived through artificial insemination. Whether or not this was done in vitro is still an open question. Michael Jackson has stated in an interview that he is the biological father of the youngest child also conceived through artificial insemination, the mother being unknown.

Deborah Rowe and Michael Jackson were married on November 14, 1996 while Deborah was pregnant with the first child and remained married until after the second child was born. There is a presumption in California that the biological mother is the mother of the child at the time of birth, and since both children were born during the marriage, they shared custody of both children until the marriage ended in divorce on October 8, 1999.   The presumption that the biological mother should have custody is rebutted by the fact that Deborah Rowe bore both children to term for the motive of financial gain, and the fact that marriage was apparently never consummated.

The daughter Paris Michael Katherine shares one name with her grandmother Katherine Jackson. Michael Jackson clearly intended in his will that Mrs. Jackson should have full custody of all of the children, and that Diana Ross should have custody only if Mrs. Jackson was unable or unwilling to care for the children. He also intentionally omitted to provide for his former spouse Deborah Rowe. To give custody of the two oldest of the children to one guardian and the youngest child to another guardian would unnecessarily break up the family.

Under these circumstances, the court should grant Katherine Jackson full custody of the three children, with some visitation rights allowed for Deborah Rowe and the two oldest children only.

As the Jackson saga continues to unfold, it is beginning to look like maybe the doctor and the nurse cooked up the idea of providing children so as to be able, in addition to bilking him out of money for needless and destructive plastic surgery, to then fraudulently assert after his death that the nurse was in fact the biological mother and that DNA tests will prove this to be the case. It will then come down to a question à la Anna Nicole Smith of whether the biological parent is entitled to custody, giving access to some control over the sizable inheritance as happened with Larry Birkhead. Can we expect many of the same cast of characters including lawyers Stacy Phillips and Debra Opri in this ongoing soap opera drama?

The problems raised by Michael Jackson's estate bring to the fore the complete lack of foresight bringing about chaos through liberal ideology. The three children in question were all apparently conceived in vitro, the first two carried to term by Jackson's ex-wife Deborah Rowe, as a surrogate or "breeder", the third having been carried to term by an unknown surrogate. The legality of all of this is highly questionable. If a couple or individual can pay a "fertility clinic" to manufacture embryos and/or implant preexisting embryos into the womb of the contracting spouse or individual, or another surrogate unrelated to the contracting parties, what is there to prevent women from getting pregnant as "surrogates" for others with no intention whatsoever of raising their offspring in a healthy environment? Is this not the equivalent of slavery? The very acts of in vitro fertilization and implantation cause injury and harm to the child to be conceived and born by depriving that child of a God-given right to be conceived through a loving marital act. This is not a right devised by man, and it cannot be abrogated by man. The participants also harm themselves, particularly the man who provides the seed for conception through a deliberate act contrary to his own male nature.

Since these children are harmed from the gate, should we allow any of the contracting parties to have custody of the children? The children have already been exploited as a means to an end by the adults involved including doctors and fertility clinic operators. Should we now add insult to injury by giving custody to one or more adults who are in pari delicto and who have caused this injury? We see the results of taking this approach in the way Jackson treated the youngest boy by dangling him over a balcony in a Berlin hotel with face covered, and the child being then given the derogatory nickname "Blanket" which will probably stick for the end of his life.

In order to stop these terrible practices, our courts will have to rethink the entire notion of "reproductive rights", including the question of whether prospective rights exist for all human beings which precede conception and are above the state and man-made law. Only then will we be able to protect these rights for everyone.

The Mousavi supporters are simply expressing sour grapes over the turn of the Iran election. In any election of that magnitude there is bound to be some fraud. Unlike the 2000 US presidential election, the Iran election was not even close.

Of course the US should be speaking out forcefully showing solidarity with the opposition in Iran. Much of this will ring hollow because of the American culture's lack of clearly defined moral standards. Even the Shah's regime had trouble convincing the Iranian people that Westernization was a good thing.

America's role in the world is to bring about peace. This we cannot do when our own nation is being held hostage and Americans are constantly subjected to cultural garbage from within. Before America can reach our goal as peacemaker, we must first deal with the powerful obstructionists at home.

Several decades ago, Ferdinand Lundberg completed a monumental study of the rich and the super-rich. He identified the primary dynastic families at that time as being Du Pont, Mellon, Rockefeller, Ford, and to a lesser extent Pew. Since that time, new wealth has been amassed by other families including those of Walton, Buffett and Gates.
