Fed's Power Grab
Published: May 5, 2008
Never mind it is the sole cause for the out-of-control credit crisis, due to the practice of fractional reserve banking and its policy of creating paper assets based on assumed interest-based profits from loaned money, it now wants the power to further expand the crediting power of central banking institutions to prop-up the deflating bubble.

Obama Will Hire Gore as Chief Climate-Swindler
Published: April 3, 2008
Taxing production will not fix the economy nor will it be the catalyst to extricate America from its oil dependency. This is nothing more than a faux-government solution designed to play at a person's humanity; no one wants the planet to be destroyed, or to breathe polluted air or to drink contaminated water.

US Lawmaker’s Enemy Combatant Status Questioned
Published: March 27, 2008
Regardless of their intent or actual knowledge surrounding the circumstances, this raises the point of their competence.
