“The monetary managers are fond of telling us that they have substituted “responsible money management” for the gold standard. But there is no historic record of responsible paper money management … The record taken as a whole is one of hyperinflation, devaluation and monetary chaos.”

ANGELINA JOLIE – DOUBLE MASTECTOMY

Natural News

Here’s what he said on his link to introduce the article: “It’s sick! Angelina Jolie gets both breasts removed even though she has NO cancer, then uses her own bad decision to “inspire” other women to have their healthy breasts removed, too. Since when did “womanhood” mean cutting off your breasts as some sort of sick social statement? Wouldn’t it be wiser to take vitamin D, drink some broccoli juice and live a healthy, anti-cancer lifestyle with your breasts intact?”

Consent or be shot

“The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this –
that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.”

– Lysander Spooner
(1808-1887) Political theorist, activist, abolitionist

“The difference between a politician and a pickpocket is that the pickpocket doesn’t get indignant when you tell him to keep his hands to himself.”

– Joseph Sobran
(1946-2010) Columnist

“[T]his is why the tyrants are moving so quickly to take away our guns. Because they know in their hearts that if they continue the way they’ve been going, boxing Americans into smaller and smaller corners, leaving us no freedom to decide how to raise and school and discipline our kids, no freedom to purchase (or do without) the medical care we want on the open market, no freedom to withdraw $2,500 from our own bank accounts (let alone move it out of the country) without federal permission, no freedom even to arrange the dirt and trees on our own property to please ourselves … if they keep going down this road, there are going to be a lot more Carl Dregas, hundreds of them, thousands of them, fed up and not taking it any more, a lot more pools of blood drawing flies in the municipal parking lots, a lot more self-righteous government weasels who were “only doing their jobs” twitching their death-dances in the warm afternoon sun … and soon.”

Clinton never questioned during State Department Benghazi probe

[Excerpt from The New American . This is a little too rich. The U.S. is surprised to be attacked by Arabs on 9/11/12, and no one is at fault! Least of all Hillary!]

“The retired diplomat who led the State Department investigation into last year’s attack on the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi defended on TV interview programs Sunday the decision not to question former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Former Ambassador Thomas J. Pickering said the Accountability Review Board, created by the department to review the events surrounding the attack, determined that responsibility for what happened fell below the secretary’s level. The panel also did not question Clinton’s two deputies because it had concluded mistakes were made by lower-level officials…”

There are 2 Rick Smith’s of Urbandale! One of them had what could of been the most asinine letter to the editor I have ever read [5/9 "Gosnell isn't like other health providers"]. His letter is in defense of the abortion industry, and he also wants to distance himself from the more famous mass murderer “Doctor” Kermitt Gosnell. I wanted to write dear Rick about his letter, but it didn’t seem right to send one to the wrong ‘Rick Smith’. Chances are, the other Rick Smith isn’t an idiot.

In his letter, Rick Smith keeps referring to abortionists as “women’s reproductive health providers”. Monsters do have a way of salving their conscience. Perhaps Smith’s most asinine line was, “… comparing caring, clean, legal, professional reproductive clinics to an illegal, back alley, inhuman butcher is purely absurd.” How so? In what ways are they different?

Not everyone from Urbandale is an idiot. The day before Smith’s letter, David C. Hammel, also of Urbandale had yet another ‘keeper’ printed. His was titled, “Breaking eagle eggs vs. killing unborn humans”. He makes the point that breaking an eagle egg will get you a $100,000 fine and a year in prison. Killing human babies will get you a subsidy from the taxpayers and the vote of half the nation. What a country.

[In what sense is an abortionist a "reproductive" clinic? They aren't allowing the women to reproduce. That's the point. Killing, is not reproducing, it's killing. Zero reproduction takes place.]

“Iowa GOP intrigued, wary of Rand Paul, the next generation”

iowajohnbirchsociety — Sun, 05 May 2013 22:38:40 +0000

The Sunday Register had an interesting article by Jennifer Jacobs about the Kentucky Senator (and likely Presidential candidate) Rand Paul. A couple of quotes by Iowa Republicans were typical of the slant Jacobs put on Paul. Both Pauls have always seemed to bug Jacobs. She likes her Republicans nice and bland. Ones who don’t really mean what they say. No threat to the status quo.

Iowa Republicans have tended to like their government big, just as long as the subsidies and price supports go to the right people. They don’t mind welfare as long as it’s corporate. They’ll take their foreign policy as interventionist, thank you very much.

Iowa Republicans seem to find it necessary for American boys to go die in the sand to make Arabs free. I never have quite figured out what the logic in that is. But then they get to hold big show funerals and feel patriotic all over. It gives them a warm feeling inside. What it does for the dead 22-year-old Iowa soldier I’m not sure.

The first quote I liked was from Kevin Hall, writer for TheIowaRepublican.com . Speaking of father Ron, Hall said, “his dad rarely backtracked on anything he said - no matter how outlandish.” That’s rather rich.

The other quote I liked was from Iowa Taliban Rebekah Maxwell. She has “winced” at Rand Paul’s “misstep’s” in recent weeks. Of his father, she wasn’t a fan of the older Paul. She liked his integrity but thought his debate answers on topics such as Iran and nuclear weapons “sounded almost downright crazy.” Maxwell believes the younger Paul is a less oddball version of his father. How gracious of her.

I guess that explains why Charles Grassley has been in Iowa elected politics since 1959.

I’ll say this for Jennifer Jacobs, she’s consistent. Whether it is Palin or Paul, she shows her same bias every time.
