The first ever Nobel Prize for glamor.
by B. S. Kalafut (libertarian)
Published: October 11, 2009
By their very nature, awards like the Nobel Peace Prize are not always given to the most deserving of qualified recipients nor do all deserving recipients win the Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has made some questionable decisions before, but none as bizarre as giving the award this year to U.S. President Barack Obama.

BOOMERS - WINTER IS COMING
by Jim Quinn (libertarian)
Published: July 13, 2009
Thus might the next Fourth Turning end in apocalypse – or glory. The nation could be ruined, its democracy destroyed, and millions of people scattered or killed. Or America could enter a new golden age, triumphantly applying shared values to improve the human condition. The rhythms of history do not reveal the outcome of the coming Crisis; all they suggest is the timing and dimension.

Four Integrity Tests for President Obama
by Joel S. Hirschhorn (libertarian)
Published: March 8, 2009
A great smile does not make a truth teller. A talker of change does not define a reformer. What if he is just another untrustworthy politician? What if he does not keep his promises? With these questions in mind, I have examined four areas where I find President Obama’s behavior disappointing.

TURNING JAPANESE - THE AUDACITY OF REALITY
by Jim Quinn (libertarian)
Published: January 30, 2009
Deflation is fatal to a debt ridden society. There will be many more stimulus packages after this one fails. Eventually, we will reach a tipping point where too much debt will result in a hyperinflationary crash. It may be in two years or ten years. I don’t know. Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, and Barack Obama also don’t know. It will catch us all off-guard, just like the current crisis caught them off-guard. Turning Japanese would be a best case scenario for the U.S.
Obama's Inaugural Speech Confirmed only Continuity, not Change
by Andrew Hughes (libertarian)
Published: January 25, 2009
Listening to Obama's inaugural speech impressed solely by its obvious continuity of the process that Bush and Cheney helped along it's way. The Project for a New American Century was in full swing as Obama parroted the aims and dreams of Zbigniew Brezinski, his foreign policy adviser and mentor. One pawn was replaced by another on "The Grand Chessboard" and, after the slight inconvenience of a Presidential election, the battle for Eurasia continues.

When the economy collapses, Republicans will blame Democrats. Democrats will blame Obama. Minorities will be dispirited and accept the economic calamities, along with the middle class. The result could be a new fascist 'unity party' imposed to reform the American political system into a European system. Will there be popular resistance to a fascist America?
