  1. maybe here is why…

    Salon Acknowledges “Elites’ Strange Plot to Take Over the World”
    http://thenewamerican.com/world-news/item/16639-salon-article

    and the article
    Elites’ strange plot to take over the world
    A few decades ago, politicians hatched a Tom Friedman-esque idea to unite U.S. and Western Europe.
    Did it succeed?
    By Matt Stoller
    http://www.salon.com/2013/09/20/elites_strange_plot_to_take_over_the_world/

    and a few choice quotes in hopes that someone will pay attention (remember alan graysons recent admissions).

    Stoller, be it noted, is an accomplished left-wing journalist and former senior policy advisor for prominent Democrat congressman Alan Grayson.

    In a September 20 Salon article entitled “Elites’ Strange Plot to Take Over the World,” [after this article] Stoller spelled out much of what The John Birch Society and other patriot groups have been ridiculed for believing for decades.

    Surprise!!!
    now the question is whether they are so far along noting can stop them.

    i do notice that we havent even caught up to these people and their admissions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (how will that rejigger the ideas that are bantered without validity?)

    come read the old books now, as soon you wont be able

    Writing of events that have been “written out of liberal historical memory,” Stoller introduces Salon readers to Clarence Streit, a Rhodes Scholar-turned elite journalist who, in 1939, published an influential but now scarcely-remembered tome, Union Now: A Proposal for an Atlantic Federal Union of the Free.

    Union Now became the founding text of a movement known as Atlanticism – the notion that North America and Western Europe ought to be united under a trans-Atlantic government – and soon attracted the support of most North American and Western European political elites

    as i have said endlessly..
    you read the books that they read that give them ideas, then you have the source of ideas they tend to use.

  2. Now is the time for all good conservatives to write and call their representatives. Tell them in no uncertain terms that the President and Harry Reid, because of their refusal to compromise or even talk with the Republicans, are responsible for shutting down the government. The dems believe they will not be blamed. Tell ’em it isn’t so. I have and will continue to do so until this ends.

  3. This issue is picture perfect for polling. How about asking this question:

    Do you support President Obama shutting down the government in order to keep Obamacare?

  4. The WW II memorial runs itself, so to speak. AFAIK, it has no moving parts. The Capitol Police police it, and they weren’t shut down. They did, however, try to shut down the memorial, which cost extra in terms of cop time and barriers and so forth.
    A bunch of WW II vets on an Honor Flight busted the barriers and went into their memorial. Cops later on allowed it and tried to control traffic, in the conventional manner.
    Dissention in several ranks here.
    Shut Down Theater. Bastards.

  5. J.J. formerly Jimmy J., 1:32 pm — “Now is the time for all good conservatives to write and call their representatives.”

    Sigh.

    My senators are Dianne (don’t-tell-me-about-the-constitution) Feinstein and Barbara (don’t-call-me-ma’am) Boxer. Total, utter waste of time.

    My congressman is Darrell Issa. He doesn’t need my voice; he pretty much gets it.

    (Yep, I live in a red oasis in a sea of deep blue. Gag.)

  6. The National World War II Memorial was funded almost entirely by private contributions, as specified in Public Law 103-32. The campaign received more than $197 million in cash and pledges. Support came from hundreds of thousands of individual Americans, hundreds of corporations and foundations, veterans groups, dozens of civic, fraternal and professional organizations, states and one territory, and students in 1,200 schools across the country.

    Donated and pledged funds were used to cover the total project costs of approximately $182 million. These costs include site selection and design, construction and sculpture, a National Park Service maintenance fee required by the Commemorative Works Act, groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, fund raising, and the 11-year administrative costs of the project from its inception in 1993 through completion in 2004.

    Remaining funds are held on deposit with the U.S. Treasury in a National WWII Memorial Trust Fund. The funds will be used by the American Battle Monuments Commission solely to benefit the World War II Memorial.
