| Article Title :: Freedom, Independence. What Does it Mean to You? |
| |
| I grew up around my grandmother and her sisters and brothers. We didn’t have much in the way of outside influences or ‘store-bought’ entertainment and so Sunday afternoon story telling was always something I looked forward to. My elders were quite versed in history and were intelligent enough to question what was recorded as history. They often times weaved quotes from famous people in to their own life’s history as a means to emphasize the feel of the day, so-to-speak. I learned so much as a child, just by sitting at the feet of a person that had experienced a full life. I recently asked our readers to submit a short description of what freedom means to you. Every su (read full article) |

| Friday the 13th . . .Who’s afraid of Friday the 13th? Shoot, aint nothing but another day. Or, so I thought. Let me tell you a story about my day.My day starts out with me waking up late and having to hurry to school. I'm a senior this year and we are just a few more weeks before graduation. As I get ready to rush out the door I realize that I'm very hungry. So, as I pass through the kitchen I grab a mango and a knife and head for the door. During my walk to school, I cut and eat the mango hoping to satisfy this ache in my stomach.Later during the day, I stand up. And, almost immediately fall right back down. The next thing I know other students are telling me how I (read full article) |

| Article Title :: G8 to discuss world debt while Scots lack basic financial un |
| |
| Last week saw the launch of Scotland’s Financial Inclusion Forum, and with it requests were issued for local authorities, banks, and other financial institutions, to work together to generate and share ideas to help people take control of their own finances. Those attending the forum were asked to help ensure, “that poverty is not exacerbated by lack of access to financial services”.Deputy community minister, Johann Lamont, said: "It is simply unacceptable that in Scotland there are areas where as many as one in five people have little or no experience of using the basic financial services so many of us take for granted such as bank accounts and insurance.“"I expect banks (read full article) |

| BONDS, TAXES, LIES AND MORE LIES.IT'S TIME FOR REFORM! We, the Taxpayers, are more than fed-up with all the above and we are notgoing to take it anymore. It looks as though we are going to have to stop all Elections untilwe can get the State of North Carolina back on the right track.It's time to pass a law "ELIMINATING Property Taxes"! By stopping the taxes& bonds, we can put our children back into neighborhood schools or send them to a goodChristian School. Why should a child be away from his or her parents or on a school bus (whichTaxpayers can no longer afford to buy) most of the day? Exactly what are they learning while theyare 'riding' around?There ar (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Talk Radio: Chest Thumpers Anonymous |

State of of radio airwaves
Monthly I pay for multiple cable television channels and still can’t find anything to watch. I’ve grown tired of the reruns, syndications, and the plastic-faced pundits slinging words like “appeaser”, “traitor”, and “liberal” in an attempt to mold the minds of the masses. My wife suggested that maybe talk radio might be a welcome reprieve. So for months I ventured on a diet of radio only. My problem did not improve. It got worse.
One of the most popular of the super pseudo-patriot radio talk-show hosts once bragged that he had lost 60 pounds of body fat just so he could fit into the cockpit of an F-16 if called upon to do so. The iro (read full article) |

| Voterman- defender of the just uniter of the people, together with Voterpowerusa.com will be fighting to take back the government from corporate lobbyists, special interest groups, and dishonest politicians. Too many labels divide our voting power. What labels? Party affiliation, class, race, sex, age, and religion. “If 100 million plus Americans voted together by focusing on the major issues, at one specific place, they would get what they needed. Congress would have no choice but to give the people what they demanded, or they’d be out of a job just like in the real world. How else are Americans going to get what they need unless they vote together?”Voterpowerusa.com w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Global/Israeli Corruption! |
| |
| What depth of blind insanity has inflicted itself upon Israel's politicians, and such as George W. Bush and Condoleeza Rice?!!?? So, in order to bring about disarray within the ranks of those opposing the Disengagement, a specially trained "Gestapo/KGB type" unit is to be deployed a week before the Withdrawal begins, to totally disarm the "settlers," and to drag protest leaders from their beds in the middle of the night.. It would appear then, that the authorities have identified who the protest leaders are, where they reside, and the magnitude of their "threat" to the Withdrawal! Obviously, they expect a great deal of resistance! I hope their prediction is accurate! The res (read full article) |

| As the starving slaves tend away at their cubicle farms, multi-national companies get fat on consumer desires. Investors fortify their crops for the season ahead garnering internal nutrients from CEO’s to assure their successful growth. Wait a minute, who is really benefiting from this? Only about five percent of the world population is according to recent studies. The rest of us are left fighting for scraps from the new harvest each year.“Look Kobe, those silly earthlings are fighting again over those shiny yellow rocks and green paper”, the extra-terrestrial Jessie Jack said observing the earth from his flying saucer. “I think they really like those gold chains”, Kobe res (read full article) |

| Goethe and Carlyle are Illuminized:Carlyle was actually an activist for good government on issues like education and the library system which he started, as well as the Corn Law legislation. I agree with Carlyle about a Hero being a better form of government to the cronyism we have and yet I know the Council of Six approach (with no authority or pay - reporting to voters, and helping develop model programs through panels and advisors) would work much better.THOMAS CARLYLE: - A most secretive yet very public intellectual who authored much about history yet begrudged having to do this. His biographers have yet to figure out what the secret he kept from them was; even though som (read full article) |

| If you believe passionately in political correctness and cannot bear to see it used as a weapon in a war against the idiots who originated the whole politically correct idea, do please leave now. And you needn’t return. Folks with no sense of humor give me a severe pain somewhere south of my belly button. I hold a concealed handgun license in the State of Texas. I am also licensed as a concealed handgun instructor in Texas. Contrary to the belief held by most residents of the other 49 states, Texas has some of the strictest gun laws on the books anywhere outside of New York City. I mention this only to illustrate that I have absolutely zero criminal history in a state where at leas (read full article) |
