Add to the Brownlow editorial..

Michelle Malkin (5/21)
What good is the $5 billion Transportation Security Administration if it can't keep armed impostors from breezily bypassing security checkpoints and boarding planes?

Armstrong Williams (5/21)
Rep. Terry Everett (R-ALA.) sneaked $202,500 for a National Peanut Festival into economic development appropriations.

2003 Labor/HHS/Education Appropriations Bill included an $800,000 gift to the Grammy Foundation for music and arts education. Never mind that the Grammy Foundation board is studded with millionaire mega-stars.

Appropriators handed out $500,000 to the International Coffee Organization, whose professed goal is to stimulate the coffee economy. Coffee is good, but protecting our troops and confronting threats from rogue states should come before handouts.

Commentary to 'chew on'.

Danger -- beware ... cyber-social virus on the FR --- mad science disease !

[Marine Inspector]

Bump for later reading.

[B-Chan]

And people wonder why I'm a monarchist...

[xrp]

Nice article. The Constitution Party rocks. Too bad so many people are blindly gimped to the Republican Party.

[Texaggie79]

The wisest man in the Matrix...

[eyespysomething]

About 6 parties should do. Maybe no parties, since people don't seem to "stick" to their party's platform anyway. Make everyone run on their own 2 feet.

[Snerfling]

You too? I thought Ronnie should have been crowned King, and the role of presidents reduced to that of a prime minister.

This is much closer to how I saw The Matrix. Many saw it as a Christ-figure story, others saw it as a philosophical piece ("What is Real?"). It reminded me of a too-powerful entity having far more control over my life than I ever wanted, intended, or conceived.

[billbears]

The list goes on and on. By any objective evaluation, we find that there is no discernable difference in our how our Government is run regardless of whether the Democrats or the Republicans are in charge. Every year our spending increases and our debt continues to grow - going on $7 trillion today. Every year we find ourselves more heavily regulated, more heavily taxed and more heavily controlled.

BUMP!!!!

If the first one creeped you out, the second is going to blow you away.

[Ff--150]

the conspiracy theory just might not be a theory--gracias for the bump.

[Defiant]

Would that make Ron Jr. the Prince or Princess? And would Nancy be calling the shots not that Ronnie is incapacitated?

This is silliness. We have a 2 party system because that is the natural result with our winner take all method of choosing the President and legislature. Neither party can deviate too far from the center of the electorate without being marginalized. Great leaders lead the electorate away from the center to where they want to take it--FDR and Reagan in the last century.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I ask my liberal friends "The Matrix" question.

"If everything you have ever experienced and assumed to be real was a fantasy, if your whole life was based on a lie, would you want to know the truth?"

I am surprised at how many say "no."

[ChadsDad]

Where was this article during the Clinton Administrations?

[Ahban]

Red Pill Constitution Party Bump

[aomagrat]

What's the matrix?

[Teacher317]

Who is John Galt? ;^)

[justrepublican]

Are freepers the precursor to the matrix?

[American in Israel]

When a conservative can set his election agenda on a solid gay rights base and win, the fix is in. The gays are around 1% of the voting base at best. But the Gay agenda is part of the Global agenda. The nice part of the Matrix, is the sleepers begin to awake.
