Greed - Milton Friedman


This is an old clip but the message is SO good I wanted to share it.  Milton Friedman appears here as a guest on the old Phil Donahue show.  Millton Friedman died in 2006 as is best known as an American economist, statistician and recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics.  He is best known among scholars is for this theoretical research focusing mainly on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.
So many people are critical these days of capitalism and are seeming to press for a society in America that would lean more toward socialism and even some are far as communism.  This is a great piece and it should make you re-think some of the rhetoric that is blowing around in our news media and culture today.

HR 45 - 2nd Ammendment Under Attack

Today I was given more information about the HR45 Bill...this bill, you may remember was circulated on the Internet back in January...well, it has NOT gone away! I have added a link at the bottom of my blog for you to check on the status of this bill.

My mother (who grew up under the shadow of Hitler and in the reality of war) use to tell me that the criminals will ALWAYS have guns. Do you think the criminals are going to just lay down their life of crime to follow these new laws? I don't think so...these laws are for you and me - the law abiding citizens. Criminals will ALWAYS have their ways and means to get what they want. The question is why are we taking away the rights of the people (you and me) in the name of public safety. If only the government and the criminals have the guns, what happens to the people?

If you missed the movie, "Defiance" I suggest you rent it. My mother was alive to see little Jewish girls in her classroom escorted out by the military. She told me that one of the first things to happen during the rise of Hitler's power was the collecting of the people's guns. Why? Because people without guns can't fight!

David Barton on Huckabee Show

This is a another interesting clip of David Barton, founder and President of Wallbuilders this time being interviewed by Governor Mike Huckebee. 

David is always loaded with information and again, he doesn't disappoint in this interview.  These cool documents that he shares are real and are a part of David's own private collection.  Take the time to get acquainted with our American history.  Unfortunately, most of the information he shares you probably didn't learn in your history lessons at school.
