Mairi Is Fed Up with the GOP

I just received this e-mail from Mairi of Chicago:

>I watched last night, as word came down that a deal had been reached to extend the 2011 budget. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I was ENRAGED!
Carl Cameron gave his view of what had happened, and I have to tell you, I have despised that man since he leaked the stories of Sarah Palin being attacked by staff members of John McCain's candidacy as a "diva". The man is a jackanapes, IMHO...

Personally, I have had it with the GOP. They are just DemocRATS on quaaludes. They have tried to convince the American public each time they caved in and passed a CR, that they were gaining in spending cuts with each new resolution.....unfortunately, the amount of spending so far overshadowed any supposed cuts, those CR's were rendered eunuchs. There was no victory in their passage.

And now we come to last night's marathon negotiations. Republican cronies tried to place such a happy spin on what had occurred, claiming that never before in history had so many spending cuts been accomplished. Fact of the matter is, never before in history has America ever been faced with such enormous debt that even our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be devastated by it's effects. The global economy is teetering on the brink, and if America falls, NO ONE SURVIVES the consequences.

There is no "happy spin" on what happened last night in the Capital. Republicans caved. They blinked, their knees knocked, and DemocRATS took full advantage.
I am FINISHED with Republicans. I am finished with the likes of Michele Bachmann and Allen West, Rand Paul and Jason Chaffetz. They sound so on the side of the American people, but fact of the matter is, not one of them has stood tall on the eligibility issue, or LtC. Terry Lakin. They can claim all they want that they value the Tea Party and all the principles and virtues of Constitutionality that it embraces, but as I see it, they are just party hacks taking advantage of an opportunity. I am pleased that they voted "no" to the deal, but that is negated by the outcome. Not one has the cajones to LEAD!

In the future, I will be looking to alternative parties like the AIP and the Constitution Party to begin picking up the slack with candidates who know, understand, and revere our Constitution. It's time for the former Whig party to consider a comeback, or even possibly the Tea Party becoming just that, a new "Party". Those in the future who claim affiliation with Republican or DemocRATS will not gain my support. I really felt confident after last November that Republicans could not only be led to the water, but would actually drink. They, IMHO, have refused. They have no concern for the Constitution, and the fact that they caved so easily, without a threatened government shut-down so welcomed by the American people this time around, is all the evidence I needed to convince me, that while these two parties exist in D.C, nothing will ever change for the better.
I HOPE everyone is signed up for GOOOH.com, and will familiarize yourselves with ALL of the "alternative" parties which embrace the Constitution. I consider the best to be, "the American Independent Party", "the Constitution Party", and probably at this point, even Libertarians.

I am open to suggestions from any of you.........2012 will be here before we know it, and it's time to have Constitutionalists in the forefront. There are GREAT candidates already waiting for the opportunity to have your support, like John Dummett, who has been trying to gain support and recognition for some time now. It behooves us to become familiar with real candidates who need our support to win against the Reps' and Dems' power brokers and money. It will be important to identify Constitutionalists, make others very aware, and build enough awareness that these candidates WILL prevail. I have Faith after last November that we CAN and WILL achieve the goal if we remain focused.

GOD Bless,
Mairi

Marc Faber's Gloom Boom and Doom: The Wealthy Benefit from Paper Money Inflation

My late friend Howard S. Katz was the first one I ever heard to describe the Fed and the inflationary process as one that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor. Howard's book The Paper Aristocracy is out of print. Marc Faber of GloomBoomDoom.com is performing a major public service by taking his argument public on CNBC. Faber makes great points in this interview (h/t Dennis Sevakis). The female CNBC announcer suggests that what Faber is saying is a conspiracy theory. Because of her poor education, she is unaware of the issues surrounding Andrew Jackson's election in the 1820s and 1830s. As well, her suggestion that Faber's argument is one in favor of a well funded public education system is foolish. The public education system is well funded now, but it propagates propaganda in favor of the Fed and socialism because the people who shape the education system share the pro-Fed, pro-socialist Progressive ideology.

Superbugs, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Grim Reaper

Friday's Wall Street Journal carries an article on page A7 that is more important than the averted government shutdown. The article concerns the spread of superbug bacteria in New Delhi, Britain and Pakistan. The superbug, called New Delhi metallobetalactamease, or NDM-1, destroys antibiotics. It is circulating in the sewage of New Delhi and may spread globally. In a sidebar the Journal points out that there are currently 63,000 deaths each year in American hospitals due to bacterial resistant infections. Until recently, those deaths would not have occurred.

The article also points out that innovation in the antibiotic field has slowed to a halt. It seems to me that the slowing of innovation is directly linked to the Wall Street bailout. Following the growth of government since the 1960s, especially the advent of Medicaid, Medicare and Obamacare, and the Fed's never ending orgy of money printing, the secular reductions in mortality that occurred during the 19th century and through the days when Jonas Salk invented the polio vaccine, may be reversed in the coming years.

Now that trillions of dollars have been diverted to the support of incompetently run investment companies, where will funding for entrepreneurial innovation, specifically including drugs, come from? Does Goldman Sachs and Citigroup aim to stop superbug bacteria? Are the advocates of 50% marginal income taxes certain that a lower tax rate would not have stimulated innovation in new drugs?

The result of the kind of economics that the nation's universities advocate is the absence of new antibiotics; university economists assume that the Federal Reserve Bank can print money and transfer wealth through high taxes, but innovation will be unaffected. You may die as a result. Keynesian economics seems to have been successful in stimulating one kind of activity: the Grim Reaper's.

Sustainable Development Is Code for Authoritarianism

Watch the Conservative Caucus/Conservative Roundtable interview of Tom DeWeese below (h/t patriot 246). Sustainable development is a movement that aims to eliminate property rights and representative government. UN Agenda 21 is a policy that expresses the environmental movement's authoritarian aims. Sustainable development has little to do with conservation in its traditional meaning. Solution: (1) Close UNESCO and end all United Nations involvement with environmental issues. (2) Illegalize UN presence on American soil for any reason other than diplomacy. (3) Boycott firms that advocate sustainability.
