US orders news blackout over crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant?: "A shocking report prepared by Russia’s Federal Atomic Energy Agency (FAAE) on information provided to them by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) states that the Obama regime has ordered a “total and complete” news blackout relating to any information regarding the near catastrophic meltdown of the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant located in Nebraska.
According to this report, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant suffered a “catastrophic loss of cooling” to one of its idle spent fuel rod pools on 7 June after this plant was deluged with water caused by the historic flooding of the Missouri River which resulted in a fire causing the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) to issue a “no-fly ban” over the area.
Located about 20 minutes outside downtown Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska, the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant is owned by Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) who on their website denies their plant is at a “Level 4” emergency by stating: “This terminology is not accurate, and is not how emergencies at nuclear power plants are classified.”
Russian atomic scientists in this FAAE report, however, say that this OPPD statement is an “outright falsehood”"

Chesty Puller On “Loyalty Down”
Puller: “I also learned that this loyalty to one’s Corps travels both ways, up and down.”
The following is in relation to the well-known Ribbon Creek/S/Sgt Matthew McKeon trial at MCRD, Parris Island, SC, in 1956
Amid a nationwide public outcry regarding the whole matter of the drownings in particular and Marine Corps training practices in general, LtGen Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller was recalled to active duty to testify at the trial regarding Marine training and tradition. Mrs. Puller protested to her husband citing previous trouble and controversy in Puller’s career. Puller told her, “...The important thing is the Marine Corps. If we let ‘em, they’ll tear it to pieces. Headquarters won’t speak up. It’s my duty to do it.”
At the trial, Puller was asked questions pertaining to his own military service, the mission of the Marine Corps, the most important element of Marine training, etc. In part, Puller replied that:, “...The definition of military training is success in battle. In my opinion, it is the only objective of military training...”
He quoted Napoleon. “He stated that the most important thing in military training is discipline. Without discipline an army becomes a mob.”
Puller was asked what he had learned here (PISC) as a recruit. He replied, “Well, the main thing—that I have rememberd all my life—is the definition of espirit de corps. Now my definition—that I was taught, that I’ve always believed in—is that espirit de corps means love for one’s military legion. In my case the United States Marine Corps. I also learned that this loyalty to one’s Corps travels both ways, up and down.
“Q: Now, general, I want you to assume that what is the evidence in this case is a fact. That on a Sunday evening a drill instructor took a platoon that was undisciplined and lacked spirit and on whom he’ tried other methods of discipline. And that for purposes of teaching discipline and instilling morale he took that platoon into a marsh or creek—all the way in front of his troops—would you consider that oppression?
A: In my opinion it is not.”
“Q: So, in your opinion, was this act of this drill instructor in leading his troops, under those conditions and for that purpose, good or bad military practice?
A: Good...
...I would train my troops as I thought—as I knew they should be trained—regardless of a directive.”
“Q: ...I lead these recruits into water over their heads and I lose six of those men by drowning. Would you say that some action should be taken against me?
A: I would say that this night march was and is a deplorable accident.”
“Q: Would you take any action against me if I were the one who did that, if you were my Commanding Officer, sir?
A: ...I think, from what I read in the papers yesterday of the testimony of General Pate before this court, that he agrees and regrets that this man was ever ordered tried by general court-martial.”
“Puller went into the noncom’s club that night with Berman, two Marine generals and other officers; the big crowd stood, shouting until he spoke:
‘I’ve talked enough for today. This will be my last request. Do your duty and the Marine Corps will be as great as it has always been for another thousand years.’
The applause was deafening.”

Pentagon Marine Reservist Detained Near Pentagon Linked to D.C. Military Building Shootings
Pentagon Marine Reservist Detained Near Pentagon Linked to D.C. Military Building Shootings: "The case had apparently gone cold. But after several months of no progress, federal authorities have now zeroed in on a suspect in last year's shootings at several military sites around the nation's capital. Their suspect: the 22-year-old Marine reservist arrested Friday after causing a terror scare near the Pentagon.
Ballistics obtained at the suspect's home have been linked to evidence found at the scenes of the 2010 shootings, including the Marine Corps Museum in Triangle, Va., a vacant Marine recruiting station in Chantilly, Va., and the Pentagon itself, Fox News has learned.

Google Loves Obama
Google Loves Obama: "Despite his populist anti-free market rhetoric and record, the President has a love affair and relationship with a corporate giant. The company is Google and the incestuous relationship pays dividends to both parties but leaves taxpayers out as the third wheel.
Money magazine in an article entitled 'Obama & Google (A Love Story)' described the love affair as '[F]rom his denunciations of Wall Street greed to his critiques of the auto manufacturers, Obama and his team have done little to disguise their mistrust of big business -- except when it comes to one very large, very influential technology company.'
The relationship between the corporate giant and the president started before Obama's ascension to the presidency.
Google has long supported President Obama. In his book, 'The Audacity of Hope' President Obama embraces the relationship pointing out that Google managers and employees were among his largest supporters, donating nearly one million dollars to his campaign."

Malice Toward All, Charity Toward None:
The Foundations of the American State by Thomas DiLorenzo: "'Americans are forever proclaiming our boastful aspersions to the world . . . that our government was based on the consent of the people,' though in fact 'it rests upon force, as much as any government that ever existed.'
~ Letter from Robert E. Lee to E.G.W. Butler, Oct. 11, 1867
'[H]ad the Confederates somehow won, had their victory put them in position to bring their chief opponents before some sort of tribunal, they would have found themselves justified . . . in stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command for violation of the laws of war, specifically for waging war against noncombatants.'
~ Lee Kennett, Marching through Georgia: A Life of William Tecumseh Sherman, p. 286
In his book Battle Cry for Freedom: The Civil War Era (p. 619), Lincoln cultist James McPherson wrote that some 50,000 Southern civilians perished during the War to Prevent Southern Independence. Others have made estimates that are much higher. The only way this could be possible is that if thousands were murdered in cold blood by the U.S. Army."

A few months ago we reported on Goldman's proposal to change the definition of GDP to make the US economy appear to be growing faster than it really is. So far, it has not caught on, as even the revised definition will soon confirm a contraction. But that proposal appears to have given Joe Biden some ideas, who now has taken the Fukushima approach to (sur)reality, whereby one merely changes the terms of data measurement when the data does not cooperate. Enter the revised CPI: 'Lawmakers are considering changing how the Consumer Price Index is calculated, a move that could save perhaps $220 billion and represent significant progress in the ongoing federal debt ceiling and deficit reduction talks.' And because nobody has an issue with the current artificial hedonic and otherwise adjustments to the CPI which always reflect a far lower increase in prices than what is actually happening, here comes the government with another idea to make inflation appear to be rising even slower:

Sarah Palin Reportedly Quits Bus Tour Halfway Through
Sarah Palin Reportedly Quits Bus Tour Halfway Through: "Former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin has reportedly packed in her bus tour...halfway through.
Real Clear Politics is reporting that Palin and her family have returned to Alaska from their 'One Nation' bus tour, despite tentatively scheduled stops in Iowa and South Carolina.
From Scott Conroy at RCP:
Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.
Palin's intent to visit Iowa and South Carolina, as well as one stop in New Hampshire, caused some speculation that she was starting to get serious about a run for president in 2012.
The bus tour was launched over Memorial Day weekend, and was particularly scrutinized after one event in Boston where Palin badly flubbed the story behind Paul Revere's ride."

Reps. Frank and Paul: Let states legalize pot
Reps. Frank and Paul: Let states legalize pot: "A bipartisan team of Reps. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Ron Paul, R-Texas, will introduce federal legislation that would permit states to legalize, regulate, tax and control marijuana without federal interference.
The legislation will be unveiled Thursday by Frank, an outspoken liberal Democrat, and the libertarian Paul, who is running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
The bill would limit the U.S. government role in marijuana enforcement to interdiction of cross-border or inter-state smuggling. Citizens would be able to legally grow, use or sell cannabis in states which have legalized the forbidden weed.
The legislation is the first bill to be introduced in Congress that would end federal marijuana prohibition.
In a preview of the legislation, the Marijuana Policy Project noted that last week marked the 40th Anniversary of when President Nixon declared that the federal government was at war with marijuana and other drugs.
Nixon had rejected recommendations by a presidential panel that the country move toward decriminalization and an education and treatment-based drug policy.

Protecting Fourth Amendment Wireless Rights
Protecting Fourth Amendment Wireless Rights: "...Primarily, the GPS Act would require that government agencies demonstrate probable cause and obtain a warrant before being allowed access to an individual’s geolocation information. It also defines exceptions for requiring a warrant, including in national emergencies (mirroring existing wiretapping law), the monitoring of children by their parents, and emergency calling systems (e.g., 9-1-1).
The GPS Act is vitally important not only to protect 4th Amendment rights, but also to provide clear, consistent, and understandable standards for law enforcement and wireless carriers. Without it, the government will maintain its vague and near limitless authority over the wireless data of American citizens. It's introduction follows a similar bill introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) that expands ECPA law to cover online cloud computing services, where personal data is stored on systems owned by third parties...

* The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted 'crap' in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill - who sat on the National Security Council - also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might 'have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.''
* Cheney apparently even made Iraqi's oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: 'Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq ... to secure control of its oil.' (remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W.

“The ATF has a long history of abusing our Second Amendment rights, so I was glad to see Congressman Issa demanding answers on the Project ‘Gunwalker’ scandal,” Mr. Paul said.
“My hope is that the recent hearing will further expose the ATF’s and Attorney General Eric Holder’s assaults on law-abiding gun owners, and more people will start questioning the need for unconstitutional agencies like the ATF that exist solely to infringe on American citizens’ God-given right to keep and bear arms,” the Texas Republican added.
Mr. Paul continues to lag in a number of recent polls. The Texas Republican continues to travel to key political states, including Iowa and New Hampshire, meeting with potential supporters."

"Why 'We the People' Are Not Waking Up
Introduction – We have been wondering for years why we the people are so asleep or dumbed down. We used to think it was the schools and a lack of proper government education. Well this is a small contributor to the problem.
The Patriots, Sovereigns whatever you wish to call people who believe in the constitution and the teachings of the founding fathers, have tried for decades to educate the people. Has not done much good, obviously. We also thought it was TV, music and movies. Again another small contributor. Then we thought is was video games, but again another small contributor. By this we mean the people can escape with the TV, music, movies and video games.
Then comes the internet. Many escape using online gaming. Some escape using sex sites. Other escape by getting lost in social networking sites. There are a large amount of escape avenues to get your mind off of the problems. This still did not satisfy us as to why the people are so complacent even to the point of letting TSA molest their minor children. Something else is wrong we thought. What was it escaped us for some time."

'They' Hate Our Freedoms by Thomas DiLorenzo
'They' Hate Our Freedoms by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"Consider just a short list of the neocon attacks on the liberties of the American people. There's the law passed by the Republican Congress that would give a moron like George W. Bush the ability to declare martial law.
Bush himself claims to have the power of 'the unitary executive,' a term the founding fathers were certainly unfamiliar with, that supposedly gives him the right to essentially act as a dictator and ignore the Constitution because of the 'war on terra,' which he says will last forever.
The so-called PATRIOT Act allows the government to declare that almost anyone who protests government actions is an 'enemy combatant' and deprive them of all constitutional rights. The neocons also desire to suspend habeas corpus whenever they want to, a constitutional right that former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez claimed in a statement to a congressional committee is not even a constitutional right.
Warrantless wiretapping is par for the Bush administration course — not that wiretapping with a 'warrant' is much better from a civil liberties perspective. The Republican Congress claimed that Bush is exempted from the Geneva Convention and is essentially above the law. He obviously believes that he is."

Required Reading for Ron Paul Revolutionaries by Thomas DiLorenzo
Required Reading for Ron Paul Revolutionaries by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"In A Nation of Sheep Napolitano gives us chapter and verse of how Americans have been neo-conned into acquiescing in such an attack on their own liberties. The book is the third in a trilogy, following Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, and The Constitution in Exile. All three are required reading for Ron Paul Revolutionaries — and for anyone who wants to understand the meaning and significance of constitutional liberty in America, who its enemies are, and why they must be stopped.
All neocons play the Orwellian game of making pronouncements about the Constitution, pretending to be supportive of it, while actively supporting its destruction. They are especially fond of cloaking themselves in a few selected words of the founding fathers to give the impression that Washington, Jefferson, and Madison would somehow approve of their foreign policy imperialism.
But consider this: At the heart of their phony constitutionalism lies the notion that, before the American Revolution, the founders said something like this to the King of England: 'Your Majesty, all we ask is that you provide us with security and protect us from the French, the Spaniards, and any other hostile force.
In return, we will gladly give up all of our personal liberties and the rights of Englishmen.'"

Fanatical Yankee Utopians by Thomas DiLorenzo
Fanatical Yankee Utopians by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"In his brilliant LRC article, 'The Yankee Problem in America,' Clyde Wilson describes how America came to be ruled by a peculiar sect of religious, statist fanatics that originated in New England and became known as 'Yankees.'
Not all Northerners are/were 'Yankees,' Professor Wilson wrote, for many are obviously fine people. He was referring to 'that peculiar ethnic group descended from New Englanders, who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, lack of congeniality, and penchant for ordering other people around.'
They 'have never given up the notion that they are the chosen saints whose mission is to make America, and the world, into the perfection of their own image.' Today we would call them 'neocons' or 'Hillary Clinton supporters.'
A 'Yankee' is 'self-righteous, ruthless, and self-aggrandizing,' which is why Hillary Clinton is 'a museum-quality specimen of the Yankee,' writes Professor Wilson. The Yankee temperament, moreover, 'makes a neat fit with the Stalinism that was brought into the Deep North by later immigrants.'
(He was obviously referring to the burgeoning communist movement in New York City in the early twentieth century, which produced so-called 'red diaper babies' such as the former communist rabble rouser David Horowitz.)"

The Founding Father of Constitutional Subversion by Thomas DiLorenzo
The Founding Father of Constitutional Subversion by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"Jefferson and most other founders viewed the Constitution as a set of constraints on the powers of government. Hamilton thought of it in exactly the opposite way — as a grant of powers rather than as a set of limitations — a potential rubber stamp on anything and everything the federal government ever wanted to do. He and his fellow nationalists (the Federalists) set about to use the lawyerly manipulation of words to 'amend' the Constitution without utilizing the formal amendment process.
'Having failed to persuade his colleagues at Philadelphia of the beauties of a truly national plan of government,' Rossiter wrote, 'and having thereafter recognized the futility of persuading the legislatures of three-fourths of the states to surrender even a jot of their privileges, he set out to remold the Constitution into an instrument of national supremacy.'
And how did he 'remold' the Constitution? He began by inventing a number of myths (i.e., lies) about the American founding.
On June 29, 1787, before the Constitution was even ratified, he said that the sovereign states were merely 'artificial beings' that had nothing to do with creating the union — despite the fact that the Constitution itself (in Article 7) declared that the document would be ratified (if it was to be ratified) by the citizens of at least nine of the thirteen states."

Team of Liars by Thomas DiLorenzo
Team of Liars by Thomas DiLorenzo:
For the past several months the media have reported stories of how much President-elect Barack Obama admires the book Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns-Goodwin, the theme of which is what an incredible political conniver, manipulator and string puller Abraham Lincoln was.
Goodwin uses more euphemistic language, but that indeed is the theme of the book by the confessed plagiarist Goodwin.
Of special interest to Obama, according to news reports, is Goodwin's lavish praise for Lincoln's supposedly extraordinary 'statesmanship' for having appointed former rivals for the Republican nomination, such as William Seward (secretary of state), to his cabinet.
As this is being written the media are simply going nuts over the Obama-Lincoln theme in light of all the talk of Hillary Clinton, a 'New Yorker' like Seward, possibly being appointed to the post of secretary of state by the new president from Illinois.
There's one problem with the story about how extraordinary it was for Lincoln to have appointed former political rivals to his cabinet, however:
It isn't true."

Obama's Political Pork-Barrel Infrastructure by Thomas DiLorenzo
Obama's Political Pork-Barrel Infrastructure by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"This is exactly how President-elect Obama's proposed 'stimulus package' should be viewed:
It is part payoff to the urban political machines, labor unions, and other special interests that helped get him elected, and part vote-buying (with federal tax dollars) scheme as the first step in his 2012 re-election campaign. It will no more 'stimulate' the economy than Herbert Hoover's 1929 'stimulus package' did, despite the fact that it accounted for 13 percent of the entire federal budget. Hoover continued to increase 'public works' spending by massive amounts, accompanied by massive tax increases to pay for it all. FDR did the same, increasing the amount of spending and taxes by orders of magnitude.
All of it had no positive effect whatsoever on the overall economy; the primary economic effect was to balloon the size of federal, state, and local governments at the expense of shrinking the private sector — and to create more private-sector unemployment."

Why Did This Happen? by Thomas DiLorenzo
Why Did This Happen? by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"How did America in the twenty-first century end up with a government that is so highly centralized that the president alone can order the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars without the consent of Congress, let alone the public?
How did we end up with a government that creates severe economic hardship for average citizens while showering big, politically-connected businesses with literally trillions of dollars in 'bailout' money?
Is this the real purpose of the Fed, as opposed to all of its happy talk about its supposed duty to 'stabilize' the economy? And why is it that the Constitution is completely ignored, if not ridiculed, by the same Washington politicians who all that take an oath to defend the Constitution?
How did the federal judiciary become mere accomplices in our government-for-the-privileged-only 'democracy' that routinely tells citizens to get lost whenever they inquire about how their tax dollars are being spent?
And is it really desirable to have over half of the entire adult population 'on the government dole' in one form or another so that they never oppose an expansion of the state for fear of losing their own subsidies? How and when was this system created?"

When Dictatorship Came to America by Thomas DiLorenzo
When Dictatorship Came to America by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"Emison agrees that Lincoln's influence is tremendous, but writes that “America is haunted by Lincoln's blood lust for a coercive, dominant, unitary, unaccountable, debt-laden central government” whose principle function is “the plunder of society and the redistribution of wealth to the politically privileged elite [like the Cuomo family] and their collection of political sycophants [like Lincoln cultists] who help keep them in power.” In this regard, “the two major parties have become the party of Lincoln, each a metastatic twin of the other.” Abraham Lincoln “opened the door to the Leviathan central state that mandates, manipulates, and regulates virtually every aspect of life in America and seeks unilateral hegemony around the globe.”"

In Defense of Sedition by Thomas DiLorenzo
In Defense of Sedition by Thomas DiLorenzo:
"As I wrote in The Real Lincoln, the one unequivocal good that came of Lincoln's war was the abolition of slavery. But the worst thing that came of it — the thing that was the real purpose of the war — was the centralization of virtually all political power in Washington, D.C., and the essential death of the Jeffersonian system of states' rights or federalism that was the essence of the pre-war Constitution. After 1865, the federal government became the sole decision maker with regard to the limits of its own powers. It exercised this decision-making power through the federal judiciary and, as the Jeffersonians had always warned, it eventually declared that there were, in fact, no limits to its powers.
It didn't take long for the federal government to declare the idea of natural rights, the bedrock of the Jeffersonian philosophy of government, to be null and void. It did this by adopting the income tax in 1913, along with the creation of the vast legalized counterfeiting scheme known as the Federal Reserve. The income tax effectively declares that all earned income is the property of the state, and that the state will inform us from time to time how much of our own income we may keep to live on by setting the income tax rates."

"Again, this sort of rhetoric could be applied retroactively to the late unpleasantness of 1861—65. Strike it.
CONCLUSION
The revised version should be sent to every state department of education in the United States, warning all of them that if the revised version of this document is not presented in the textbooks they adopt for use in the state's public schools, then all Federal funding will be removed in the following fiscal year.
Now go out and enjoy the Fourth of July. Light a firecracker. Enjoy a Roman candle or two. Never forget: the Fourth of July is to the memory of American independence what Labor Day is to labor."

Understanding Online Radicalization: Facebook and Social Media
Understanding Online Radicalization: Facebook and Social Media: "The first two parts of this series covered the two primary website types that jihadists create to radicalize individuals, namely blogs and web forums. The third part of this series will focus on jihadi social media and how jihdaists use Facebook.
——————————————————-
“Islam can dominate, over the world, only by jihad,” says the very plain jihadi website realjihad.tk. It reminds readers that jihad doesn’t have stages, and that “lame excuses” like making a living shouldn’t stand in the way.
RealJihad lacks the sharp graphics, interactive chat rooms, and other tools used by more sophisticated jihadi blogs and forums. Despite this, it has a leg up on its competitors: it is one of the primary links provided on the Facebook page of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistani terror organization.
Jihadi radicalization occurs on a number of sites and is not limited to the dedicated sites, blogs, and forums commonly used by terrorist supporters. Jihadists exploit popular Western social media sites, like Facebook, to radicalize, build contact networks, and pass information."

ATF Hosts Its First 'Gay Pride' Observance
ATF Hosts Its First 'Gay Pride' Observance: "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under fire for allowing U.S.-purchased guns to flow to Mexican criminals, celebrated its first gay pride event on Wednesday.
The celebration at ATF’s Washington headquarters was intended to recognize the “accomplishments and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to ATF and the nation, and to promote awareness of the LGBT culture,” ATF said in a news release.
'ATF works to ensure sexual orientation discrimination and prejudice are not tolerated in our workplace,' said Acting Director Kenneth Melson. 'ATF is an equal employment opportunity environment where effective and equitable participation is encouraged.”
The keynote speaker, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), spoke about his experiences serving as an openly gay congressman.
ATF says it has created an LGBT affinity group called 'ATF Pride' with the primary goal of ensuring equal employment opportunity and enhancing development opportunities for LGBT employees at the agency."

F.B.I. seizes web servers, knocks sites offline: "Instapaper and Curbed Network are among the sites hit, though the cause of the raid is unknown
The F.B.I. seized Web servers in a raid on a data center early Tuesday, causing several Web sites, including those run by the New York publisher Curbed Network, to go offline.
The raid happened at 1:15 a.m. at a hosting facility in Reston, Va., used by DigitalOne, which is based in Switzerland, the company said. The F.B.I. did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the raid.
In an e-mail to one of its clients on Tuesday afternoon, a DigitalOne employee, Sergej Ostroumow, said: “This problem is caused by the F.B.I., not our company. In the night F.B.I. has taken 3 enclosures with equipment plugged into them, possibly including your server — we can not check it.”"

Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution
Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution: "CNN contributor Fareed Zakaria argues that the Constitution is outdated and its principles should be “debated and fixed” to conform with the modern era. He suggests “a set of amendments to modernize the Constitution for the 21st Century.”
Fareed Zakaria: Dump the Constitution archglobalist
Fareed Zakaria with arch globalist and notorious war criminal Henry Kissinger.
This is not the first time Zakaria has talked about ditching the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He recently told Charlie Rose that America is “parochial” and there are countries around the world that do things better than we do. See the video below.
Zakaria is a smart fellow. He knows the Constitution established bedrock principles that led to previously unimagined wealth and prosperity.
He also understands the average American knows almost nothing about the Constitution and certainly nothing about republicanism, liberty and inalienable rights. Far too many Americans know virtually nothing about classical liberalism, the ideal of limited government, and the unbridled liberty of individuals including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets."
