The failure of Congress is imminent in the sequester or blind spending cuts that will be thrust into reality on March 1st. The stalemate of ideology has pushed our country close to the economic and financial apocalypse over last several years including issues about the debt ceiling, the recent fiscal cliff. The outcry from the public over healthcare and gun control has been overwhelming. The Affordable Care Act or Obamacare had some many voters calling Congress that the switchboard was overloaded. The muscle behind people coming forward over the restriction of guns has been the normal voter protesting in protests and debates. The country faces Financial Armageddon and the voter remains relatively quiet over the inaction of Congress to work together on a sequester or spending cuts that are sensible without being a result of bad policy. The future of our country is at stake, and failure is not a fault of Congress but the complacent voter worried about guns when we are about to … [Read more...]
The American arrogance over money
The American arrogance over money is the reality in 2012. America has been the land of opportunity before the formation of this great nation. The formation of the United States was the first representative government system in the world, and freedom would ensure the future strength and prosperity of our nation. "Quality and Quantity" was an equal pinnacle of measurement of success in America, and values were the foundation to create wealth. The Puritans did not land in Massachusetts in 1620 because a huge stacks of gold were easily accessible upon arrival in the new world. The value of freedom in the new world was wealth in the assessment by the Puritans, and money/gold would not impact all the struggles that were suffered by the Puritans. Onward 400 years into the future, the roaring 20's did end with the October 1929 stock market crash with The Great Depression in the 1930's. Another period in American history, money became the value assessment in America. The extreme wealth … [Read more...]

Roger Ailes CEO Fox News Spectacle for Conservative Journalism(article excerpt)
The two plus sides of political discussion in the media should be a welcome course of debate in both liberal and conservative circles. Roger Ailes CEO of Fox News spoke to UNC Journalism students this past week in Chapel Hill. No Holes Barred was the spectacle provided to the students at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. First, UNC is not the pinnacle of the conservative thought or movement. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are known as the pinnacle of liberalism including an openly gay mayor in the state of North Carolina. Second, the personal attacks on certain conservatives are from an executive with his personal agenda no matter the costs to Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid journalism. The inside source about the bias of Fox News against candidates other than Mitt Romney did direct the blame of the policy to Roger Ailes. The backing of Mitt Romney by Roger Ailes did impact coverage on Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. The source did provide praise to Sean Hannity as a genuine … [Read more...]
Newt Gingrich is accurate on Fox News Bias
A source with close ties to Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Fox News did disclose last month during a business luncheon about a recent trip to New York to meet with management and PrimeTime personalities of Fox News. That meeting was an eye opener about the Pro-Romney bias was the policy at Fox News, and the writing was on the wall in big red Fox News font...Romney or else...Santorum and Gingrich were dead in the water no matter what. This disclosure was from a respected and fair conservative in his professional and political associations. This disclosure could not have come from a more respected or connected person with knowledge of the situation. The announcement by Newt was 85% verbatim of the information disclosed last month. Newt Gingrich does have every right to criticize Fox News, because Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid in this Republican nomination process is almost calling MSNBC moderate. It is simply is not … [Read more...]
NC General Assembly’s economic inaction will force education disaster and military closures under BRAC
Any person should be alarmed over the coming disaster facing the fundamental structural systems in North Carolina. The most important issue of our time is Amendment One. What good is Amendment One if the state economy is on the verge of an irreversible tipping point toward collapse? The Republicans came into power, and the promise was change, change, and more change. The recent Great Recession did expose the state's economic damage from the loss of manufacturing from the state since 1982. The manufacturing loss was worse than any other state in all fifty states, and the warnings were made loud and clear in the 2008 election on the fracturing of the state economy. The entrance of the Republicans into the fray of power should have formed a economic task force to bring solutions with limited resources and private sector partners to forged a new way forward. That has not occurred and the disaster unwinding of the state economy is underway. The anchors of economic prosperity has been … [Read more...]
