“My name is America, and I’m addicted to debt.” As a nation, we must have a recovery program. Check out a great article by Dr. Robert Owens at the Alabama Tea Party Express:

Anyone who’s walked down the twelve-step path or knows someone who has, which is almost everyone in America, has heard the saying, “Until you admit you have a problem there’s no hope for a cure.”

We, as America have a problem: we’re addicted to debt. Now is not the time to point fingers. This isn’t the time to figure out whose fault it is or when was the fatal binge that sent us over the line from recreational user to addict. Now is the time to man-up, to admit we have a problem, and take the first steps toward recovery….

Go take a “ride” on the express and read MY NAME IS AMERICA-I’M A DEBT-A-HOLIC.

The Moral Liberal contributing editor, Henry Lamb, has written a great article called Tea Parties’ Next Challenge. If you have the time, visit and read. Here’s a sample:

The Tea Parties – and other organizations – started last week on a path to put the federal government back on track to protect the unalienable rights of the people who created it. Now it is time for these same determined Americans to focus on state and local governments, and put them back on the right track to protect the rights of their citizens as well….

In collusion, our federal government and British Petroleum try to hide the terrible effects of toxic chemicals being used to disperse the oil from their man-made disaster.

The pathways of exposure are inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact. Health impacts include headaches; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; abdominal pains; dizziness; chest pains and tightness; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and lungs; difficulty breathing; respiratory system damage; skin irrigation and sensitization; hypertension; central nervous system depression; neurotoxic effects; genetic damage and mutations; cardiac arrhythmia and cardiovascular damage; among several others.

Visit truthout and read their article — Toxic Dispersants Near Gulf Harm Humans and Wildlife. Their reporters visited Louisiana for a first hand look and interviews, and came back with a vividly descriptive story.

Dead crabs float in a sheen of oil. It is a toxic soup of stench and death that fouls the air and burns my nose.

Go to truthout and read the whole thing.

Today marks the launch of an important new ezine in the Blogoshpere — Gulag Bound. Several bloggers and web radio personalities have been planning this venture for the last year.

The articles will expose the hidden agendas of those who seek personal power at the expense of our freedoms — disciples of Alinsky, Cloward, Piven and their ilk. We wish them all success in their venture.

 

Today, the “hope and change” administration that promised to be so transparent is revealed not only to be opaque, but also dishonest. The Lonely Conservative reports — White House Officials Meet Lobbyists At Coffee Shops To Avoid Disclosure:

Because the meetings take place at coffee shops they don’t need to be disclosed by the White House.

I suspect that she is “lonely” because she lives in a blue state. But go pay her a visit and leave a comment anyway!

Important facts about Hawaiian birth certificates are detailed in today’s post at The Steady Drip. The difference between hospital certificates signed by delivering doctors and certificates based on walk-in requests by citizens is explained. A MUST READ!

Posted only last Wednesday, How Not to Get Shot by a Soldier has already become a viral email, complete with all the included pictures. We urge our readers to visit Sultan Knish and read the original full length version. But just to get you started, here’s an excerpt:

….while you might have a great story in which you are the Mahdi or the reincarnation of Che, the man you’re attacking just might have a story in which he’s John Wayne. And just to refresh your memory, Che was shot in his thirties by the Bolivian Special Forces. The last Mahdi died of Typhus in his forties in a besieged city and his remains were tossed into the Nile along with the rest of the trash. John Wayne died peacefully in his seventies. Which fate would you rather have?….

On June 6, 1944 allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France to begin the liberation of the European countries occupied by the Nazis. Debbie reminds us over at Right Truth:

We pray for an administration and leadership that supports the military and is equally dedicated to America’s safety and future.

And Arlen of Investigating Obama shares this video of President Ronald Reagan’s speech at Point-du-Hoc given June 6, 1984 (you may have to wait for the video, or try later, as demand is pretty heavy today):
