Talking Heads

I like the music more than anything.

Happy 4th

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

God bless America.

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste"

Most Important Election?

Great clip. I thought the part about Muslim veils at the end was a little much, but other than that well worth your time.

$100 million

Sounds like a lot for a President to cut from our budget, right? Take a look at this clip, it's only a minute and a half.

Lace Them Up

"It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791

The current federal government needs to be laced back up.

Inspired Constitution

"It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in it [the Constitution] a finger of that Almighty hand which has been so frequently and signally extended to our relief in the critical stages of the revolution." --James Madison, Federalist No. 37

Most believe this, that the constitution was inspired of God. Why then do we so frequently throw it under the bus? The founders intent was NOT a big federal government. They wanted the states to be in charge. The federal government's power was severely limited in the constitution...and now they are regulating health care! Where will it end?
