| The minimum wage was invented to do one thing; protect white unionized construction workers from competition from black, non-unionized construction workers, who were paid less (blacks were banned from union membership during the 1930s). |
| The year the minimum wage law went into effect was the last year the unemployment rate of blacks was lower than that for whites. |

If Sarah wasn't going to run, she would have said so a long time ago.
If she had run a conventional campaign and declared two years before the election, the GOP ruling class would have taken her out by now, because to them DC is an exclusive country club that doesn't cotton to outsiders.
The last thing they want is somebody coming in and rocking them right out of their cushy little boats.
In order to win the nomination, she has to outwit and outmaneuver them.
If she can succeed at that, imagine how many knots she'll tie Ubama into.
And about that "she quit the governorship" thing: Democrats routinely use the legal system to destroy their opponents.
Alaska Democrat operatives filed over 200 ethics complaints against her, not one of which was upheld.
It cost her and her family over $500,000 in legal bills to fight the frivolous charges, and had she stayed on it would have cost the state of Alaska millions more, plus they would have had a governor embroiled in personal legal battles rather than taking care of the state's business.
As it is, the lawsuits nearly brought the state of Alaska to it's knees. State business was being neglected because employees had to search for documents and they couldn't do their jobs. It cost the state at least $2-million. If she had selfishly stayed you would be concern-trolling about that.
Never trust an elected official that will not relinquish power for the good of the citizens who elected them.
Had she not resigned, right now you'd be saying: "If she'd managed to get through her term as governor without declaring bankruptcy and being in court half the time and costing her state millions of dollars I'd support her, but she has proven that she can't run a state, much less the entire country."
Resigning was the right thing to do for her state, the right thing to do for her family, and the right thing to do for her country.
And as for the "she only resigned to make money" argument, she could have stayed in office and gotten paid millions for her book, just like Ubama did with the two autobiographies he allegedly wrote.
One more thing: Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.
18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.
21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
If he is in superior strength, evade him.
22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them.
24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
you are not expected.
25. These military devices, leading to victory,
must not be divulged beforehand.

John Boyd (military strategist)
Elements of warfare
Boyd divided warfare into three distinct elements:
Moral Warfare: the destruction of the enemy’s will to win, disruption of alliances (or potential allies) and induction of internal fragmentation. Ideally resulting in the “dissolution of the moral bonds that permit an organic whole [organization] to exist.”
Mental Warfare: the distortion of the enemy’s perception of reality through disinformation, ambiguous posturing, and/or severing of the communication/information infrastructure.
Physical Warfare: the destruction of the enemy’s physical resources such as weapons, people, and logistical assets.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist)
In Strategy the longest way around is often the shortest way there. A direct approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by compression, where as an indirect approach loosens the defender’s hold by upsetting his balance.
There were two fundamental principles which governed the “Indirect Approach”.
Direct attacks on firm defensive positions almost never work, and should never be attempted.
To defeat the enemy, one must first disrupt his equilibrium. This cannot be an effect of the main attack; it must take place before the main attack is commenced.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_approach
Heck, Nixon got forced out for covering up a simple breaking and entering. What’s covering up murder worth?
Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.
The longer she delays announcing her candidacy, the longer she keeps the ruling-class RINOs, state-controlled media, DemocRAT and Republican opponents, etc. in complete and total disarray.
Why should she give up her strategic advantage?
To make it "fair" for the RINOs and 'Rats?
They filed over 200 ethics complaints against her, not one of which was upheld.
It personally cost her over $500,000 in legal bills to defend herself, and it would have cost the state of Alaska millions, plus they would have had a governor embroiled in personal legal battles rather than the taking care of the state's business.
If she had stayed as governor of Alaska, Palin would have HAD to declare personal bankruptcy, and her act of staying WOULD have cost the State of Alaska many millions of dollars as the people in her administration had to do their part in defending the frivolous ethics charged Democrats leveled against her.
Had she stayed, right now you'd probably be saying:
"I'm not a big Palin supporter because I have never thought she was really capable of handling the fiduciary responsibilities that go with the office. If she'd managed to get through her term without having to declare bankruptcy and costing the state millions of dollars because of the ethics charges made against her, I'd feel more confident, but she seems to be unable to run her own financial house, on top of which her administration cost her state millions of dollars."
Based on that, it ain't even close.

One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand |
| The "College Education" Scam The dirty little secret is that most "financial aid" comes from overcharging non-minorities and using the excess to fund "financial aid" to Eric Holder's people. An intended consequence of this is that non-Eric Holder's people bury themselves in student loans that are now owned by the federal government. Get this: student loans are the ONLY debt you cannot escape through personal bankruptcy. This means that the vast majority of kids graduating from college these days are indentured slaves to the federal government. If you don't think Washington has plans to exploit this situation, you must be from some other planet. |

It belongs to Sarah.
And since it belongs to her, she can take her time.
| Usama is not dead. That's why they can't release a death photo. Why would the military kill an asset who is the Rosetta Stone of Islamic terrorism? If they say he's dead and take him to a secure location where no one will ever see him again, they can torture him at their leisure and get information out of him for years to come without being harassed by Eric Holder. Why cut off one head when you can cut off all of them? |
Was he born Steve Dunham (Dunham being his unwed mother's maiden name), because there are Hawaii hospital records of a Steve Dunhmam born on his birthday.
And if he was born Steve Dunham, why did he change his Western/Christian name to the Middle-Eastern/Moslem name Barrack Hussein Obama?
Did he change it when he converted to Islam, as is the custom? Like Cassius Clay changing his name to Mohammed Ali when he converted to Islam, or Louis Eugene Walcott changing his name to Louis Farrakhan Muhammad, Sr. when he converted to Islam, or Malcom (X) Little changing his name to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz when he converted to Islam?
It's a simple question. Why are there no answers?

The name that appears on Oboma's Hawaiian birth certificate is Steve Dunham. It's obvious that he changed his Western Christian name to a Middle Eastern Muslim name when he converted to Islam. That's why they can't show it to us.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed? We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men.
“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
“Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.
“Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
—-Dr. Floyd Ferris (ATLAS SHRUGGED, Ayn Rand, 1957)

| The entire race-based agenda could be demolished if everybody started calling themselves "black" on all official government forms. It would not be a lie, because biologically, there is no such thing as 'race.' And the feds could never win a prosecution for falsifying information, because who is to say who any of our ancestors are? The Sally Hemming controversy cuts both ways. |

The data upon which Kyoto is based (Mann, Bradley, Hughes: Global-Scale Temperature Patterns and Climate Forcing Over the Past Six Centuries, Nature, No. 392, pp. 779-787, 1998) has been documented to be fraudulent by a recent paper published in the British journal "Energy & Environment" and available on the Internet at http://www.multi-science.co.uk/mcintyre_02.pdf In their paper, titled "CORRECTIONS TO THE MANN et. al. (1998) PROXY DATA BASE AND NORTHERN HEMISPHERIC AVERAGE TEMPERATURE SERIES," Canadian researchers Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick examined the data set of proxies of past climate used by Mann, Bradley and Hughes for the estimation of temperatures from 1400 to 1980. McIntyre and McKitrick determined that the Mann data "contains collation errors, unjustifiable truncation or extrapolation of source data, obsolete data, geographical location errors, incorrect calculation of principal components and other quality control defects." Applying the Mann methodology to the corrected data "yielded a Northern Hemisphere temperature index in which the late 20th century is unexceptional compared to the preceding centuries." The fact that Kyoto is based upon fraudulent data should be troubling to anyone without some hidden agenda. |
From Washington, DC...America has no shortage of oilWashington has a shortage of political will to let American workers go get it By the House Committee on Resources As oil prices climb to record highs above $50 per barrel, some have asserted that we are "running out" of this resource. In truth, we are not running out of oil in America. We can safely increase domestic production by at least 17.2 million barrels per day by 2030. "America has no shortage of oil for the foreseeable future," House Resources Committee Chairman Richard W. Pombo (R-CA) said. "Washington has a shortage of the political will required to let American workers go get it. We have not increased domestic supply in thirty years. As a result, our dependence on foreign oil has skyrocketed to the point where we are sending $200 billion dollars overseas to import this resource. At least a fraction of that sum should be spent at home, to increase supply, lower prices, and create jobs." "Increasing conservation and the use of renewable and alternative fuels must also be part of a balanced energy plan," Pombo continued. "That is why more than one half of the domestic recommendations in the Administration's energy plan - held up in the Senate for the last four years - targeted these goals. But like it or not, the reality is that America runs on oil right now. We cannot conserve our way out of an empty tank of gas. We have to produce more at home, and there is plenty at home to produce." By combining conservation efforts with additional domestic production, the United States can close the gap between supply and demand to become more energy efficient. With current production and proposed development in North America, the United States could increase its supply by 17.2 million barrels per day by 2030. Click here to see how. "Contrary to the claims of special interest groups, we can produce more energy to grow our economy, and continue environmental achievements at the same time," Pombo said. "These efforts go hand in hand. They are not mutually exclusive."
"Secure and affordable energy supplies fuel our economy - they are its lifeblood. In turn, a strong economy fuels investment in the research and technology that give us the positive environmental trendlines we see today. We cannot have one, without the other." |

Cutting spending means the resources are allocated by the market (as much as that's possible in the overly-rent-seeking / subsidy-milking mess that is our economy). Raising taxes means the resources are wasted among various bureaucracies doing important things like going to conferences, holding meetings, and giving each other "public service" awards.
