So here it is. What have we learned in 2,064 years?

“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work,
instead of living on public assistance.”

- Cicero – 55 BC

Evidently nothing.

Exclusive from Hot Air:

At 9 am ET today, Americans for Tax Reform and the Alliance for Worker Freedom will deliver a letter to both chambers of Congress and to  US Attorney Channing Phillips in Washington DC, demanding a federal investigation of Andrew Stern, president of the SEIU.  They will claim that Stern, who stopped registering as a federal lobbyist in 2007, has continued his lobbying efforts.  They claim to have compiled evidence of Stern’s lobbying from the recently released White House visitor logs, media reports — and Stern’s own Twitter feed, in what has to be a first for the social networking service.

Read the whole thing here!

Gathering of Eagles – NY has the scoop:

Already cited as the most profligate visitor to Barack Obama’s White House, Andy just can’t stop bragging on his Twitter account about all the lobbying he is doing for the socialist cause.  The big problem for Andy, besides a running mouth, is that he never bothered to register as a lobbyist.

And, oops, that’s illegal!!

The Courageous Woman Who Inflamed the Muslim World Speaks Out Against the Evils of Islam (Hardcover)

The new release by Dr. Wafa Sultan.

From the front page of The New York Times to YouTube, Dr. Wafa Sultan has become a force radical Islam has to reckon with. For the first time, she tells her story and what she learned, first-hand, about radical Islam in A God Who Hates, a passionate memoir by an outspoken Arabic woman that is also a cautionary tale for the West.

She grew up in Syria in a culture ruled by a god who hates women. “How can such a culture be anything but barbarous?”, Sultan asks. “It can’t”, she concludes “because any culture that hates its women can’t love anything else.” She believes that the god who hates is waging a battle between modernity and barbarism, not a battle between religions. She also knows that it’s a battle radical Islam will lose.

Condemned by some and praised by others for speaking out, Sultan wants everyone to understand the danger posed by A God Who Hates.

This is a PSA for the Republican Party, so please listen carefully.

From this point on there will be no more politics as usual. You may be thinking that the people are so freaked out that the ball will come back into your court easily. But playing Democrat lite doesn’t cut it anymore. The RINOs need to go and find their own party now and those of you who intend to take it forward in the 2010 elections need to know one thing:

WE the people are watching you. And we are running for office.

The following exchange had people crying in their cars on Wednesday September 30th. Listen and learn what it will take for the Republican Party to revitalize.

RUSH: You are outraged and you want a positive channel for it.

CALLER: Yes, I do. I want a positive way to effect and reclaim this country and to protect my children and to give them a good life.

RUSH: Here’s the second thing that I want to warn everybody against with all this passion. Because in this mix you and I haven’t discussed the Republican Party, have we?

CALLER: No, we haven’t.

RUSH: Well, let’s do that for just a second, because it’s crucial. While your rage, your outrage is properly directed at the architects of this disaster, the Democrat Party, at the same time, we don’t really see a lot of rage from our own elected representatives, do we? This is one of the reasons why –

CALLER: This is why we’re mad, ’cause they’re not outraged.

RUSH: That’s right.

CALLER: They don’t say anything, they don’t do anything.

RUSH: If you can call this radio show and in ten minutes, without one stutter, lay out the very dire threats that face this country, why in the hell can’t professional politicians stand up and say the same thing and take action to stop it?

CALLER: Amen.

RUSH: And that’s really the level of your frustration.

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: Now, here’s where this is going to lead. If we’re not careful, this is going to lead people to start saying, “We need a third party.”

CALLER: No. No, no, no, no.

RUSH: Wait, hear me out. It’s going to lead to people say, “Both parties are the same, there’s no difference, Republicans and Democrats.” What we have to focus on here is taking back the Republican Party. I think there is enough rage right now, and if it sustains itself, and it will, Obama’s not going to stop any of this garbage, and the Democrats are not going to stop, so it will sustain itself.

CALLER: And we have to take back the party and revitalize it –

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: — with true conservatives.

RUSH: Exactly. That’s what has to happen. But at some point just voting against people is not enough.

CALLER: Right.

RUSH: It will be enough in 2010. But who we gonna elect in place of them? Where are the candidates going to come from?

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: I’m talking particularly now the House and the Senate. I mean you talked about the RINOs in the Senate, and there are a lot of them, and they’re scared to death of the media in Washington, they’re scared to death of being called racists, they’re scared to death of having happen to them what happens to Sarah Palin. They’re scared to death of having happen to them what happened to Joe Wilson. So they’ve got their own fear they have to overcome. They don’t understand that they’ve got an army of people. Even after all the campaign contributions Joe Wilson got, they still don’t see there’s an army of people willing to back ‘em up if they would just lead. There’s an army of people ready to follow ‘em.

Better do your homework. Watch part one, two and three of this unforgettable exchange and you will begin to grasp the temperature and the velocity of the wave that is coming straight at you.

Come On Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle….we can do it, we can once again control our Education System and stop the indoctrination of our kids.  Take down the phone lines and the e-mails.

 A word on educational indoctrination

Teachers in Texas are teaching from the curriculum,  which is dictated by guidelines called TEKS,
which is written by advisors and voted on by the SBOE.

The leftist academics who want to insert multi-culturalism and want to destroy “HISTORY; History as it really happened. “ know this. They know that if they can rewrite the TEKS, then even teachers are powerless to stop it (although most are indoctrinated themselves and will go along.)

These rewriters of history are trying to rob the social studies TEKS of things that would help our children love America. The group that is behind this is ‘Texas Freedom Network’, a liberal group once run by Ann Richards’ daughter Cecile. They even took out Christmas from 6th grade guidelines and replaced it with Diwali…   The SBOE slapped down the Christmas stuff, but a lot  more remains to fight.
