I Tried to Open a Lemonade Stand by John Stossel.......

We went through something similar when we tried to have a cookout to thank supporters of our Christmas Parade.
Hot Dogs & hamburgers turned into a bureaucratic nightmare. They ( the government ) succeeded though.
We no longer do the business association, cook-outs or the Christmas Parade. Nobody had the time nor the money to deal with the insanity....

In Midway, Ga., a 14-year-old girl and her 10-year-old sister sold lemonade from their front yard. Two police officers bought some. But the next day, different officers ordered them to close their stand.

Their father went to city hall to try to find out why. The clerk laughed and said she didn't know. Eventually, Police Chief Kelly Morningstar explained, "We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade and of what the lemonade was made with."

Obama Campaign Accused of Lying in Permission Slip Posted on Tumblr .....

And the Press ( George Step ) are a willing participant in the lies....

When you think about it, it’s really quite impressive that they were able to fit that many “untruths” into three sentences.

“The big lie behind all this is that somehow allowing some employers not to pay for this kind of coverage amounts to a ‘contraception ban,” Dougherty writes.

One Month to Go Until We Have the World's Highest Corporate Tax Rate

Doesn't that just make you want to do business here????

Just one month from today, Japan will lower their corporate income tax rate from 39.5 to 35 percent. When they do so, the United States will officially have the dubious distinction of possessing the highest corporate income tax rate in the developed world, a federal/state integrated rate of 39.2 percent.

Private Health Insurance in "Death Spiral"....!?

Ha! You should see Romneycare in action......!

Sebelius replied, “Well again, congressman, what you’re seeing… It wouldn’t have mattered if we had passed the Affordable Care Act or not. The private market is in a death spiral.”

Losing Count: Yet Another Govt-Backed ‘Clean Energy’ Initiative Begins Laying Off Workers ......

Another one bites the dust - Another one bites the dust... And another one gone, and another one gone...Another one bites the dust...

That’s right. A company that received approval in 2010 for a $400 million government loan has just laid off 70 percent of its staff.

Media finally paying attention to eligibility?

Poll after poll in recent months has indicated that Americans have a high level of concern over Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, with one poll showing fully half of the nation wants Congress to investigate the question.

Andrew Breitbart has passed away!

OMG! Rest in peace - this guy was one of the Warriors!

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Energy Secretary Chu Admits Administration OK with High Gas Prices......

I think we are all for alternative forms of energy. Who wants to pay out huge money for energy? We all live on this Planet...we all want a clean planet - but there has to be a compromise...or our economy is going to collapse down on all our heads!

Chu, along with the Obama administration, regards the spike in gas prices as a feature rather than a bug. High gas prices provide an incentive for alternate energy technology, a priority for the White House, and a decrease in reliance on oil for energy.

White House Uses Espionage Act to Pursue Leak Cases.....

This is important to watch- very important!!!
Bit by Bit...nudge by nudge......Freedoms are eroding...
They are overwhelming us with so many "little" changes - there's no way - no time for the Average Joe to see the big picture!


Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria.

Fast and Furious: Another Straw-Purchaser, Another Federal Agent Dead (and Still Holder won’t Comply) ....

This whole episode is SO important....so insidious...we as citizens and voters CANNOT let it fade quietly into the night!

Just when the Fast and Furious investigation seemed to hit a lull, and many were wondering what was going to come of it or whether it might quietly fade away without anyone being prosecuted, another weapon that was obtained via a straw purchase in the U.S. and carried across the Mexican border has been identified. This one is “connected to the murder of Immigration and Customs (ICE) Agent Jaime Zapata,” which took place in February 2011. And suffice it to say, AG Eric Holder is on the hot seat all over again.

Striking Iran and the Myth of Regional War .....

Interesting historical perspective on possible Iran - US confrontation.

Today, Iran and opponents of any attack on its nuclear program hold up the specter of a regional war that will drag in the United States, devastate the region and drive up oil prices. This is the only card in their deck until the mullahs have their own bomb, and it’s an effective card to play. But is any of that a serious risk?

Military Obamacare Tricare costs would jump in budget plan - Army News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Army Times

Probably the ONLY people on Earth who should NOT be screwed with. Are our politicians taking an increase????

Pentagon officials will continue pressing in 2013 for significantly higher Tricare fees for military retirees, including older retirees covered by Tricare for Life, as well as higher drug co-pays for all Tricare beneficiaries.

The Defense Department’s proposed 2013 budget calls for annual enrollment fees for retirees in Tricare Prime to rise next year by 30 percent to 78 percent, from the current $460 or $520 for families to between $600 and $820, depending on military retirement income.

Delphi update: More White House meddling in UAW bailout revealed

Every article on her page is important...and they will make your head explode!

If you paid attention here last fall, you know all about how Obama Treasury officials screwed over non-union white-collar workers at Delphi, a leading auto parts company spun off from GM a decade ago.

Rocklin Considering Banning Residents From Smoking Outside Their Own Homes .......

Nudge by nudge...bit by bit we let our freedoms slip through our hands.....

A Rocklin resident has asked the City Council to consider a ban on smoking that some say goes way too far.

The Rocklin City Council was asked to consider making it against the law for smokers to smoke anywhere outside on their property.

Rocklin City Manager Rick Horst said the city has “no intention of considering the matter.”

Michelle Lets Governors Gorge on 2,000 Calorie Dinner.....but we're supposed to eat twigs....and enjoy it!

Let them eat cake.................

The White House Sunday epically failed to practice what its first lady preaches, serving the nation’s governors a more than 2,000 calorie dinner even as Michelle Obama traverses the country promoting health eating.

Dad Jesse Sansone Arrested, Strip-Searched After Daughter Draws a Picture of a Gun in School ......

The State - the Government step by step.....your rights are vanishing - everywhere....

Sansone was finally released after four hours. He said he’s furious and that his name has been slandered.

“So many people dealt with this situation in the wrong way,” he told the Sun. “I know the principal really well, how could he judge my character in this way? I drop off and pick the kids up every day, I always say hello, I sign every report card, I go to every parent teacher meeting, I am an active parent at that school.”

FFRF Pushes for 10 Commandments Removal in North Carolina......

Keep your eye on this....Atheists are challenging our very foundation everywhere. It's happening in so many small towns nobody is noticing the wave....they know municipalities are broke and cannot shoulder the court costs of fighting this...bit by bit...nudge by nudge.

Earlier this month, The Blaze told you about a drama unfolding between the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist and freethinking group based in Wisconsin, and a local government in North Carolina. The non-believing group is demanding that officials remove a Ten Commandments plaque that is hanging in the Newland Town Hall.

U.S. opening up airspace to use of drones ........

Each day...bit by bit...nudge by nudge we give up our freedom and aren't even aware. Just THINK of the SCREAMING if this were done by GWB.

After more than 40 years of development and extensive use by the military, the United States has set the date when the nation’s airspace will be open for drones. Should you be scared?

Short answer: No, but like any new technology, unmanned aerial vehicles have their dark side.

Legislation passed by Congress last week gives the Federal Aviation Administration until Sept. 30, 2015, to open the nation’s skies to drones.

Green company gets $390M subsidies, lays off 125.....

Why not squander money on a product that has no market...it isn't their money to worry about...only to TAKE.

A123 Systems, an electric car battery company once touted as a stimulus "success story" by former Gov. Jennifer Granhom, D-Mich., has laid off 125 employees since receiving $390 million in government subsidies -- but is still handing out big pay raises to company executives.
