COMMON CORE MATH, NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND IT

Common Core, the newest Federal push to control the education of every student in the country.  If you have kids or grandkids in America's public school system (oops, it also applies to Home Schoolers and Charter school and Magnet schools, just about every type of education in the country) you better educate yourself on what it means.  It dumbs down our kids, using untried and unproven methods of teaching, and is designed to make lots of companies rich at the expense of American kids.  Join forces now to stop this before it becomes fully implemented.

HERE IS A COMMON CORE MATH PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION.  YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AND HEAR

THE RYAN-MURRAY BUDGET BILL ROBS VETERANS BUT ALLOWS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO KEEP THEIR WELFARE

AND THEN CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS.  GOOGLE THE U. S. HOUSE AND THE U. S. SENATE FOR THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION.  LET THEM KNOW HOW STRONGLY YOU OBJECT TO THIS BILL.  YEA, YEA, I KNOW, IT'S TOO LATE, THEY ALREADY PASSED IT.  BUT THEY MIGHT GET THE HINT THAT THEIR DAYS IN WASHINGTON ARE NUMBERED!

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE, AND HIS NOSE CONTINUES TO GROW

Did you hear about it?  The Obama lie "If you like your health care you can keep your health care, Period," has been labeled the Biggest Lie of the Year.  So many lies, so little time to keep track of them all.  Here's a list of Obama's Top Ten Lies - as of right now.  But he has three more years.  Just wait, the best is probably yet to come.

TOP TEN OBAMA LIES

POP (PISSED OFF PARTY) SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

Political Party.*

*Not Democrat, Not Republican, NotIndependent.*

*It's called the "PISSED OFF PARTY" (or POP).*

*This party is dedicated to vote every incumbent out of office in the next elections.*

*If you're Democrat, and choose to vote Democrat....Do It... Just don't vote for the incumbent.*

*If you're Republican, and choose to vote Republican....Do It... Just don't vote for the incumbent.*

*We need to send a message to all politicians, that we're tired of their B.S.*

*If the country votes out all the incumbents, the new incoming politicians will hopefully get the message.*

*It's pretty simple. Nobody needs to change parties and let’s face it, there's plenty of blame to spread around.*

*A few good politicians will lose their job but they probably have better retirement and insurance than 95% of the American public.*

*Some of you have had to struggle for the last 5 years or more. Some of you have lost your job and may be working in some other sector just to feed your family.*

*I guarantee you, none of them will suffer like this country has.*

*If you like what’s going on and think this is a bad idea, delete this.*

*But if you're fed up and think this is a good idea, then pass this E-mail on.*

*If you really think this has legs, then a website and a blog could help get the word out.*

*To ALL 535 voting members of the Congress; it is now official you are ALL corrupt!*

*a. The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 238 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 78 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 75 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 49 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.*

*e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 48 years to get it right and they are broke.*

*f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 43 years to get it right and it is broke.*

*g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than than we did in 1977. You had 36 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.*

*You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.* We are $17 Trillion and Counting in Debt...Something Has Got to Change!! Plus $115 trillion in unfunded promises. 

VOTER FRAUD ALIVE AND WELL IN THE U.S.!

OUR MILITARY WAS ASKED TO PLEDGE AN "OATH TO OBAMA."  THEY SAID NOT EVER.  MAYBE THIS IS WHY 197 TOP MILITARY BRASS HAVE BEEN FIRED BY OBAMA IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS?  GUTTING THE MILITARY, A PLAN IN ACTION.

10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OBAMACARE

MOVE OVER JIMMY CARTER, THERE'S A PRESIDENT WORSE THAN YOU

  George   Will, noted columnist,  on President Obama

 

 

America   has had some great presidents, many mediocre ones and a few bad ones. But   we’ve never had one like Barack Obama.   He’s the first who thinks the job is beneath him. 

He’s   the first who turns political give-and-take into a crisis by refusing to negotiate   with Congress. 

He’s   the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary   people.

The   move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a   tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the   memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.

I’ve been saying for a while   that there is no bottom to Obama. He’s not just ruthless. He’s without   scruples and honor .  

But   to turn public opinion in his favor, Obama’s goons trucked in barricades to   keep out World War II vets and other visitors. By one estimate, the   barricades and workers cost $100,000.

The   same punish-the-people attitude led to shutdowns of other parks and historic   sites that get no federal funding.

“We’ve   been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting,” a   Park Service ranger told The Washington Times.

The   ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home   in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it. The cheap trick captured the contrast between a   revered president and the current one.

However   the shutdown ends, it will bring only a temporary respite from the crisis   atmosphere in Washington .   When it comes to his countrymen, Obama always chooses conflict over   cooperation.

Meanwhile,   Jimmy Carter can rest easy. We have a new worst president.

BENGHAZI MURDER COVER UP BY OBAMA, CLINTON AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT

Well, here's a plausible theory regarding the death of four Americans in Benghazi, including Ambassador Stevens.  Sounds like Stevens objected to Obama running guns to Al Qaeda rebels.  Stevens got vocal, and he paid with his life.  Obama wouldn't want Americans to know he is supplying arms to people who could use them to kill our troops in Afghanistan.  Why don't I doubt this?  Because I have zero trust in Obama, his henchmen, and most of our government.  I would put nothing past him.

COMMON CORE, PIMPS, MOBSTAZ, OH BOY

COMMON CORE, read it hear.  Google it, educate yourselves, get involved.  Stop COMMON CORE now before it's too late.  Here are some quotes from parents who have encountered Common Core.  Go to the link at the bottom for another story about a 9 year old subjected to Ghetto language in an assignment.

"A similar thing is going on in my daughters school. A 7th grade math problem that talked about murder and the weapon that may have been used; knife, gun, bomb etc."

"Amen!! Our 6th grade son came home with an assignment from his fitness class 2 weeks ago that basically had the students put themselves in the nightmare scenario: Imagine your parents are divorcing and one is moving away. How would you deal with that? How would it make you feel? What are some pro’s and con’s? This is Comman Core!! Funny, we thought “Fitness” would mean exercise and some basic fitness instruction. Welcome to 1984, er 2013!"

"There is a train of thought, that is being pushed in higher education to educators & academic types, that standardized tests & classroom material are biased against racial minority groups….particuarly the black community.

The idea is that black kids are underperforming in our education system because the material presented, and being tested on, is not relatable to them….meaning, a black inner city kid is more likely to get a math word problem about milking cows wrong than white country kid because not understanding the whole business of milking cows gets in the way of the actual math problem.

SO……there is an effort to include things applicable to the black community, which (unfortunately) is about a thug gangsta rapper that sings about illegal activity & objectifying women.

The ironic (and unfortunate) bit about this is that in effort to include the black pop culture in education, you end up alienating an entire group of other people (those not familiar with Twista, or Pimps)."

BLACK PRESIDENT GETS A FREE PASS

Have you read the comment Liberal Actor Ed Asner made when asked why the Hollywood Elite is not protesting Obama going to war like they did when Bush went to war?  Here's the history of the issue.  

In 2003, ahead of a U.S. attack on Iraq, a rabid anti-war movement in Hollywood included a TV commercial starring Martin Sheen and Sean Penn visiting Baghdad. There were online petitions signed by Ed Asner.  Letters to President George W. Bush pleading for peace were signed by Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin.  Former M*A*S*H star Mike Farrell fronted multiple press conferences where celebrities denounced war. In interviews, Janeane Garofalo stopped identifying herself as an actor — she preferred to be called a member of the U.S. anti-war movement.  Throughout the Iraq and Afghanistan wars the entertainment industry blasted Bush calling him all kinds of ugly names for going to war with Iraq.  Where are they now?  

Ed Asner says the Hollywood Anti-War Left Won’t Protest Syria to Avoid Feeling “Anti-Black.”  They're afraid of being called "racists," something Obama opponents have been called for 6 years.  

For the Hollywood Elite, The Black President gets a free pass. 

OBAMA'S PIG

This is true.  Watch Wild Bill tell the truth about the Pigford Incident.  Obama's Pig suckled at the teet of the American Taxpayer.  The Pigford Incident is the first of Obama's multiple screwings of Americans.

NEW WORD FOR THE WORLD DICTIONARY

Did you see this today?  Sent to me by someone who knew I'd appreciate it, it the definition of a new word.  Here goes:

INEPTOCRACY:  (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy)  A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

IBM THROWS RETIREES TO THE OBAMACARE HEALTH EXCHANGE WOLVES

IBM today announced they will cancel their retiree health insurance plans and retirees will have to buy their insurance on Obama's health exchanges.  IBM is going to pay the retirees a flat amount of money to help them pay for their new Obamacare coverage. They say they simply cannot afford to maintain their current health insurance system.  They will go broke trying.  Ain't it just sweet?  Wonder how many IBM retirees voted for the puppet master, not once, but twice?  Elections have consequences.  Health insurance exchanges have come home to roost.

IBM THROWS RETIREES TO THE WOLVES

GOVERNMENT BORROWS MONEY TO FUND PRIVATE RESEARCH SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT GREEN CAR

Obama's Department of Energy is at it again, doling out 45 million dollars to large corporations for research into how to better batteries and how to make cars lighter, more energy efficient.  Recipients?  Think Ford, General Electric, Caterpillar, 3M, universities, and on and on.  Just more corporate welfare by the Liberals to force us to drive the cars they want us to drive, the ones the deem to be suitable.  But we're broke, borrowing almost 50 cents of every dollar from other countries.  Oh, well, it's okay.  Our kids and grandkids and their grandkids can pay it back.

CAIR WHINES ABOUT FACIAL RECOGNITION PROGRAMS

Boo Hoo, CAIR whines about Ohio using facial recognition systems to combat crime and identify criminals.  But the ACLU-Ohio is raising a holy fit about it.  They say it violates the religious rights of Muslims.  Well, I say America has laws about identification.  For instance, driver's licenses.  Muslims actually want to have their DL photo taken with their head and face wrapped.  That means unidentifiable on the license.  Stupidity to the end.  If these people want to live where their face is never seen they should go back to where they came from.  Get the heck out of America, or comply with our rules, laws and customs.  And shut up about it.  I am sick of the whining, crying, whimpering.

OHIO, DON'T BACK DOWN!

CAIR WHINES ABOUT MOSQUE SURVEILLANCE

CAIR doesn't like it that the NYPD has an effective mosque surveillance program operating.  CAIR says it violates their "religious rights."  I say, keep it up, New York.  When you have terrorists operating out of mosques nationwide law enforcement's duty is to find out about it and put a stop to it.  Long Live the NYPD.

MOSQUE SURVEILLANCE, OH NO!

OBAMACARE CREATES OPENING FOR SCAMMERS

All medical records for every American will be accessible by government bureaucrats and scammers.  Better subscribe to an identity theft protection service now because we are all going to need it.

Thank you, Mr. Obama, for opening Americans up to major and massive potential for identity theft.

THE REST OF THE STORY

PART TIME EMPLOYMENT, THE JOBS OF THE FUTURE

Thanks be to Obama for creating so many jobs in the last five years.  At least that's what you'd think if you listen to the garbage being spread by the Liberal Media, Obama's Cheerleaders.  Here's the real truth.  Most jobs created by The Master are part-time.  Thanks to Obama and Obamacare, American society has become a part-time-job-society and will only get worse.

THANK YOU OBAMA

LEFT WING MEDIA FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

THE STORY IS HERE

HOLOCAUST HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS FOUND

FROM CBS NEWS, 2007

This  story was aired on CBS on "60 MINUTES" about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure trove of information on 17.5 million victims of the Holocaust.   The archive, located in the German town of Bad Arolsen , is massive (there are 16 miles of shelving containing 50 million pages of documents) and until recently, was off-limits to the public.  

But after the German government agreed to open the archives, CBS News' Scott Pelley traveled there with three Jewish survivors who were able to see their own Holocaust records.   It's an incredibly moving piece, all the more poignant in the wake of the meeting of Holocaust deniers in Iran and the denial speeches in the UN.  

Many people, survivors, their relatives and others, have a special interest in this subject.   It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.  

The dead?  The statistics - six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!  

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

CONGRESS EXEMPTS ITSELF FROM OBAMACARE

SOUNDS LIKE PELOSI, AFTER SHE READ THE BILL, DECIDED SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE.  AND NEITHER DOES CONGRESS, FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, THE IRS AND A MYRIAD OF UNIONS.   

 Obamacare: Congress  Exempt From Affordable Care Act   

For Obamacare, Congress exempted themselves from the Affordable Care Act in a  deal arranged by President Obama. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the Obamacare implementation in California could be a disaster  in terms of identity theft and fraud according to the California insurance  commissioner. 

Another study claims the Affordable Care Act could cause people to leave their jobs and even Unions are criticizing Obamacare. Recently, IRS workers unions said they wanted an Obamacare exemption.  The rumor that an Obamacare exemption for Congress existed has been spread  around by chain mails for years. This claim was shot down repeatedly by Snopes,  PolitiFact, and others. Ironically, while Obamacare call center workers won’t get health insurance the Obamacare exemption for Congress just became reality recently. 

Obamacare: Congress Exempt? You might be wondering, “How did Obamacare’s Congress exemption come to be?” While both the  business and individual mandate for Obamacare has been delayed until  2015, much of the Affordable Care Act is still steaming full ahead, with state exchange signups beginning this October. As it is now, taxpayers pay for almost 75 percent of premium payments as part of government employee benefits in  Washington DC. But back when the Affordable Care Act was being written, Senator  Chuck Grassley (R-IA) inserted a clause that says all Congress members, and all  government workers under the Office of Personnel Management, must be covered by  healthcare plans created by Obamacare or through state exchanges. 

This Obamacare stipulation would cause the premium payments of all government workers to skyrocket by thousands of dollars per year, not just members of  Congress. Congress members in both parties fear this will cause a “brain drain”  in Washington DC because they’d be forced to pay everyone more, which is unlikely under the Federal government’s budget crunch. The more likely scenario is that they might see an exodus of the most talented people finding better jobs in the private sector. 

Even Republicans like Senator Tom Coburn desire an Obamacare Congress exemption: “I don’t care what the answer is. Give us an answer so that if we want to do  a legislative fix to take care of the people who actually work for us. I mean, they’re going to be the only set of federal employees that actually get paid by the federal government that have to go into the exchange. [OPM knows] the  answer—they just won’t share it. And I want time to legislate on it before we  lose half our staff.” 

President Obama worked on the Obamacare exemption for Congress which says that “the government can continue to make a contribution to the health care premiums of members of Congress and their aides.” Obamacare’s Congress exemption is supposed to be approved next week even though earlier this year Congress denied any such Obamacare exemption negotiations took place. 

Critics claim Congress’s Obamacare exception will allow government workers to “purchase the most expensive policy available on the exchange and you and I will pick up most of the tab.”

OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB THEY WEAVE, WHEN OBAMA PRACTICES TO DECEIVE.  

OBAMA'S POLICE STATE KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR

CNN's Jake Tapper has exposed the Obama/Clinton Benghazi cover up.  They don't want Americans to know what was going on in Benghazi, nor what happened when four Americans were slaughtered.  The biggest secret, though, is why they refused to send help and left them there to DIE.  Now we find out help was there, on the grounds, but for some reason was not sent to assist them.

Obama/Clinton lied, Americans died.  Simple enough for all to understand.

FORT HOOD JIHADIST RENOUNCES U.S. CITIZENSHIP, GOOD RIDDANCE

Fort Hood Jihadist Nidal Hasan has sent Fox News documents renouncing his U. S. citizenship.  Well, Good Riddance to Him - oh, I forgot.  He's in prison for murdering a bunch of our soldiers and Americans while in a terrorist state of mind.  I call that Terrorism.  Obama calls it Work Place Violence. 

Now Obama is hearing the words straight from Nasan's mouth, basically, 'I Am A Terrorist!"  But it's still doubtful Obama will understand that this was an act of terrorism.  He doesn't recognize terrorists unless they are members of the Tea Party, Pro Life Groups, Christians, Veterans, Conservative groups, and 2nd Amendment Gun Rights advocates.

Of course those who still think they will keep getting something for nothing love the guy - why wouldn't you. Instead of working for a living and paying your own bills, you expect someone else to work, pay their bills and yours too. That is the saddest part of all..

OBAMA, '04. YOU MUST TELL CITIZENS THEY ARE BEING STALKED

BREITBART HAS THE STORY

AMERICAN POLICE STATE

AMERICA, A POLICE STATE

WHY don’t I recognize my country?  We punish what we should honor and honor what we should punish.   We remove God from everywhere and then wonder why God is nowhere. 

The IRS has acted criminally in its persecution of Tea Party groups, Conservatives, Pro-life groups, Pro-Israel groups, Pro-traditional marriage groups, anti-abortion groups and others, but the woman in charge of overseeing these groups’ applications gets a promotion to oversee Obamacare and another pleads her Fifth Amendment right to silence and then gets put on administrative leave while getting full pay and benefits. 

Obama praised Occupy Wall street groups who trashed streets and businesses, raped participants, defecated in public, rioted, used drugs, shut down entire streets, business and parks, and committed murdered, yet he had nothing but contempt for Tea Party groups who gathered respectfully, cleaned up after their rallies, were polite and courteous and used restrooms like civilized human beings.  No murders, no rapes, no riots, no drugs.  Not good enough for Obama, though.  His administration and Democrats on The Hill labeled them “Terrorists” and said they were the “greatest threat to the U.S” and then sent the IRS and other government agencies out to silence them. 

Eric The Withholder spies on the Associated Press and Fox News’s James Rosen for supposedly receiving leaked information, but he does nothing when CIA Director Panetta leaks classified information to the producer of the movie Zero Dark Thirty or when Obamabots leak other classified information.

Obama was willing to send in Navy Seals who risked their lives to kill Osama Bin Laden, yet refused to give the order to answer the plea for help from Benghazi, allowing four Americans to be murdered.   Americans almost immediately saw photos of a concentrating Obama on the night of the Bin Laden raid, but no one can even find out where the heck he was the night of the Benghazi raid.  He talked to the National Security advisor once, around 5:25, and then was missing in action.  Four Americans died, he didn’t care, and then he sent Susan Rice out to lie about it.  Now she’s his new National Security Advisor.  That sure gives me a lot of confidence that our national security is in good hands.

Then there’s the Romeike family from Germany.  They were granted asylum in our country until Erick Holder repealed it, and now he wants them deported.  All they want to do is home school their kids in a Christian setting, which isn’t allowed in Germany, and they are being thrown out of America because of it.  Yet Holder sees nothing wrong with 11 million illegal immigrants being granted immunity and given a path to citizenship. 

Obama refuses to call Nidal Hasan a terrorist when he murders 14 unarmed soldiers while yelling Allahu Akbar, but he treats us like terrorists by spying on our phone calls, emails, social sites, and molests and strip searches us every time we get on an airplane. 

Obama thinks that a 12 year old is adult enough to get morning after abortion pills without parental knowledge but a 26 year old is child enough to need Obamacare and remain on their parents’ health insurance. 

The President thinks he can take away the Second Amendment rights of millions of people who have never broken the law, yet he thought it was a good idea to give guns to Mexican drug dealers who used them to kill thousands of innocent Mexicans and a U.S. border agent. 

The same President wants to close Gitmo because the living conditions are not nice enough for terrorists, yet he orders drones to vaporize American citizens abroad who have not been charged with a crime.  Seems Obama has forgotten about Due Process.

He calls an NBA player and congratulates him for announcing he’s a homosexual, but he doesn’t call Tim Tebow for announcing he’s a Christian.

Obama announces, “God bless Planned Parenthood,” but said nothing when the Gosnel Abortion clinic was murdering babies born alive by snipping their spinal cords.

He sends in armed SWAT teams and treated workers at Gibson Guitars like drug dealers or gun runners because they used an imported wood the government said was illegal.  So far it has cost Gibson Guitars over two million dollars to fight its own government, and over a million dollars of government confiscated wood has never been returned to them.  This illegally imported wood was the same wood being used by Martin Guitars.  Martin Guitars was not raided by armed SWAT and FBI teams, no wood was confiscated, Martin Guitars never even got a letter from the government about their illegal importation of the wood.  The difference?  Gibson’s CEO gave money to the Republicans and Martin’s CEO gave money to President Obama.   It’s easy to see the targeting doesn’t stop with the IRS.

Nixon was impeached for spying on a single office in the Watergate complex and sic’ing the IRS on his political enemies.  Obama is spying on millions of Americans and sic’ing the IRS, EPA, FBI, ATF and other government goons on anyone who dares to oppose him.

Is it just me?  Or do you feel like something is rotten in America?  

SOURCE OF NSA VERIZON LEAK HAS VAMOOSED!

GOOD THING OR IS HE A TRAITOR?  

MY THOUGHTS.  

I am glad to see this "top secret" program come to light. I believe it is not appropriate to spy on the general American public unless you get a search warrant from a judge for EACH separate person's phone/email/medical info!  It's the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment, Stupid. Yes, Bush started this with the Patriot Act, but Obama has doubled down on it. How dare he spy on us, how dare he try to restrict our First and Fourth Amendment rights without due process?  Shame on him.  He won't even disclose his birth record, school records, immigration records, passport records, but he steals all of our information and stifles those who are opposed to his Socialist views.  Obama says this information can't be used without court approval.  Oh, Yeah?  Just look at what the IRS has done under Obama.  No one involved with him can be trusted.  

To Mr. Snowden, the "leaker," I suggest he watch his back, even in Hong Kong.  Obama has a short fuse and could easily eliminate this man through any means necessary.  And it wouldn't keep him awake at night.  Rest assured though, Obama will have no knowledge of it.

An ex-CIA employee working as a contractor at the U.S. National Security Agency said he was the man who had leaked details of a top secret U.S. surveillance programme, acting out of conscience to protect "basic liberties for people around the world."

Holed up in a hotel room in Hong Kong, Edward Snowden, 29, said he had thought long and hard before publicising details of an NSA programme codenamed PRISM, saying he had done so because he felt his country was building an unaccountable and secret espionage machine that spied on every American.

Both the Washington Post and Britain's Guardian newspaper - to whom he gave the documents he had purloined - published his identity on Sunday.

"I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things ... I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under," he told the Guardian, which published a video interview with him on its website.

"The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards," he said.
The Guardian published revelations this week that U.S. security services monitored data about phone calls from Verizon and Internet data from large companies such as Google and Facebook.

The exposure of the secret programmes has triggered widespread debate within the United States and abroad about the vast reach of the NSA, which has expanded its surveillance programmes dramatically in the last decade. U.S. officials say the agency operates within the law.
Snowden's decision to reveal his identity and whereabouts lifts the lid on one of the biggest security leaks in U.S. history and escalates a story that has embarrassed the administration of President Barack Obama.

His decision to go public also potentially exposes him to the wrath of the U.S. authorities. The Guardian compared him to Bradley Manning, a soldier now on trial for aiding the enemy, for passing classified military and state department files to anti-secrecy website Wikileaks.

Snowden, who said he had left his girlfriend in Hawaii without telling her where he was going, said he knew the risk he was taking, but thought the publicity his revelations had garnered in the past few days had made it worth it.

"My primary fear is that they will come after my family, my friends, my partner. Anyone I have a relationship with," he said. "I will have to live with that for the rest of my life. I am not going to be able to communicate with them. They (the authorities) will act aggressively against anyone who has known me. That keeps me up at night."

He spoke of his willingness to give up a comfortable life in Hawaii, where he earned about $200,000 a year: "I'm willing to sacrifice all of that because I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."
Within minutes of Snowden's name being revealed by the Guardian he had become an instant folk hero.

At left-leaning U.S. blog The Daily Kos, contributor "Corvo" wrote "It's a shame that Edward Snowden won't be 36 years of age on 20 January 2017; otherwise I should want to vote for him to be our next president."

Snowden, a former CIA technical assistant, said he had been working at the super-secret NSA as an employee of defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton and decided to break his silence after becoming disenchanted with Obama whom he said had continued the policies of predecessor George W. Bush.

"My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which was done in their name and that which is done against them," he said. "I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions. I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant."
The Guardian said Snowden had been working at the NSA for four years as a contractor for outside companies including Booz Hamilton and Dell.

Three weeks ago, he copied the secret documents at the NSA office in Hawaii where he works and told his supervisor he needed "a couple of weeks" off for treatment for epilepsy, the paper said. On May 20 he flew to Hong Kong, which he said he chose because "they have a spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent".

In the video interview he looked relaxed, bespectacled and wearing a light beard and a dark grey shirt. The newspaper said he had only ventured outside three times since his arrival in Hong Kong and was fearful the CIA was going to come for him.
He said he was ultimately hoping that Iceland, which values Internet freedom, might grant him asylum.

The Guardian said he had stuffed pillows beneath his hotel room door to ward off snoopers and that he cloaked himself beneath a red hood when using his computer to try to keep his passwords safe.

BOSTON WATER SUPPLY VULNERABLE, GOVERNMENT SITS ON THEIR HANDS

On May 14, there was a scare connected to Boston's water supply. State police said they found a group of trespassers of Middle Eastern descent walking near the closed Quabbin Reservoir after midnight. The group was cited for trespassing, but investigators said they found no evidence of further criminal activity.  Yeah, right.  Call it a trial run to see what they could get away with.  

Now the Hultman Aqueduct had locks tampered with, cut off the fence surrounding Boston's water supply.  The response from Massachusetts government?  Oh, nothing serious here, it's just vandalism, kids beings kids.  That may be what acquaintances of the Boston Bombers thought too.  And the KABOOM.    

BOSTON WATER SUPPLY VULNERABLE, GOVERNMENT IGNORES THE THREAT

IRS COMMISSIONER POW WOWS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE 157 TIMES PLANNING THE ATTACK

GOOD EVENING, FELLOW RIGHTIES, LET'S START OUT WITH SOME FACTS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW AND SPREAD VIGOROUSLY TO FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES.  COPY THIS AND PASS IT ON, PLEASE!  OR SEND THE LINK TO YOUR BUDDIES OR PROGRESSIVES YOU WANT TO DRIVE CRAZY.  

1.     1.  Sleazebag Shulman, the commissioner of the IRS during the targeting of Conservatives.  He was appointed by Bush in 2008, but he is no Conservative.  He was then and is now a DEMOCRAT. 

      2.  His wife runs an organization funded by George Soros and anti-free-speech union thugs dedicated to silencing Conservatives.  The Head of the IRS has a wife who runs an organization designed to do EXACTLY WHAT THE IRS DID!!  Do you still believe it was done by two low rank IRS AGENTS in Cincinnati?  Not a chance, and today those “low ranking IRS agents” from Cincinnati told the truth.  Washington was “basically throwing us underneath the bus.”   

2        3. Shulman visited the White House 157 times, ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN TIMES!  Guess how many times Bush’s second term IRS chief visited the White House during the last term of George Bush? That would be ONCE.  157 vs. 1.  And guess how many times Shulman visited the White House in the 9 months he served as IRS Commissioner under Bush?  ZERO!

3    4. Shulman was appointed by Bush in March 2008, Obama was elected in Nov. 2008, took office in January, 2009, and Obama’s Target Conservatives Program began in the summer of 2010.

4     5.  Democrats in Congress were writing letters demanding that the IRS give greater scrutiny to conservative groups. The President has railed against the Tea Party.  Obama’s White House referred to Tea Partiers as “terrorists.”  Obama is the one who constantly talks about his "enemies" and stated time and again in public speeches that The Tea Party is "a threat to Democracy."  Pres. Obama has turned the IRS into his personal political machine.  The tone is set at the top, and this is Obama's tone from Obama's White House.    

5    6.   “We're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us” -- Barack Obama.

6    7.  The rank-and-file wouldn't do what is alleged unless they were ordered to, and ordered to in a way that suggested that failure to comply would be disastrous to their career.  I'm betting this started in the office of David Axelrod with the full and active agreement of Obama and his hench-woman, Valerie Jarrett.

7      8.  Shulman should be in prison, along with anyone else who was involved in the scandal, including Axelrod, Obama and Jarrett.  

9.  Obama should be impeached.  The buck stops at his desk.  The “chickens are coming home to roost,” to quote one of Obama's role models, and I'd say it's about time the crooks and liars got caught with their pants down.  

SCENE:  IRS POW WOW AT THE WHITE HOUSE:

OBAMA:  Hi Dougie. Please, sit down. Put your feet up.  Relax, this won’t hurt.  Coffee, canapes, crime?

SHULMAN:  Glad to run on over when summoned, Your Honor, Your Highness, Oh God Of All Things

OBAMA:  I wanted to talk to you about a huge national problem that you can help me with.  These Teabagger terrorists are going wild now that the court ruled against us on Citizen's United. They’re a threat to Democracy.  They’re organizing and raising money like crazy. We definitely need to bring these crazed groups into line. Don't you agree?

SHULMAN:  Yes, Your Honor, Your Highness, Oh God Of All Things

OBAMA:  Look, Dougie. I like you. I’d hate to see your career set back and your family suffer because you lose our job. That would be such a tragedy.  Your wife and kids depend on you supporting them. You would feel awful if something bad happened to them just because you didn't do what you need to do.

SHULMAN:  Yes, Your Honor, Your Highness, Oh God Of All Things

OBAMA:  Well, Dougie, you get an A+ for your reasoning.

SHULMAN:   I’ll get right on it, Your Honor, Your Highness, Oh God Of All Things

AND THAT'S HOW IT STARTED

REMEMBERING MEMORIAL DAY, WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FREE

Sen. Robert A. Taft, Republican, believed in America, limited government, and the power of the people.  He would have been standing with us against Obamacare, IRS tyranny, a lying government bureaucracy, unconstitutional wars, and the takeover of the Republican Party by moderates who work hand-in-hand with liberal Democrats to implement Obama's socialist agenda. On May 30, 1945 -- as World War II was coming to an end -- at a Memorial Day Ceremony at Gettysburg National Cemetery, Sen. Taft gave the following speech.  All Conservative Republicans need to read it.  Liberal Democrats could learn something from it, but they probably wouldn't change their minds about their quest for control.  The warnings he gave in this speech are the same warnings against tyranny in America that we must pay attention to today.  It is long.  I have highlighted sections that I believe are the most relevant in case you don't have time to read all of it.  But it will be worth your while to read every word.

Speech Delivered by Sen. Robert A. Taft at Memorial Day Ceremony, Gettysburg National Cemetery, May 30, 1945   Fellow citizens of the United States of America, I am greatly honored to be invited to come here today to the Gettysburg National Cemetery and express, inadequately I know, the obligation which we feel to those who fell on the greatest battlefield of the Civil War, and the reverence which their service to us still inspires 82 years later. I know that I cannot express that obligation and that reverence as effectively as it has been many times expressed before upon this occasion. I can only relate the sacrifices of our soldiers to the more immediate problems which we face today. The soldiers of 1863 gave their lives to preserve the Union and make permanent the Government which had proved to the world that a Nation, founded for the purpose of securing freedom, and governed by its own people, could survive through a great war without being destroyed from within by the very forces of freedom developed in a free country. Many other American boys have fought since then to preserve our people and their freedom. Our hearts are full today with our gratitude and devotion to those who are fighting now and who have fought in this war, those who have given and those who have risked their lives that our Nation may be preserved and may preserve its freedom. In these wars with Germany and Japan, we are now approaching the great sacrifices of the Civil War-we have suffered a million casualties among our boys in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. About 300,000 have been killed, or missing and probably killed. That means that there are 300,000 families who mourn a beloved son, 300,000 wives and mothers to whom this war has brought tragedy and grief. Too many newspapers and too many individuals have come to accept the military attitude that American boys are only pawns in the game, that we can properly sacrifice so many impersonal lives for this goal. But every life is a boy with a father and mother, or a wife or sweetheart. We should never forget the awful catastrophe that war is, that it means the destruction of all the hopes and purposes which have formed the ideals of hundreds of thousands of American individuals and families. Let us remember today that very few purposes can justify the sacrifices which we are calling upon our boys to make. Let us remind ourselves that neither foreign conquest, nor hate, nor revenge, can justify such a loss, that the only purpose of this war that can justify its continuance is to insure the future peace and freedom of the American people. Let us not gloat because we burn or destroy the city of an enemy, and remember that such destruction can only be justified as a means of bringing this war to a quicker end. The moment that we can achieve a peace which will guarantee the prevention of future aggression on the part of Japan, it is our duty to all those whom we honor here today to see that peace is brought about, whether by arms or by negotiation. But we have a further duty to the men who are suffering in this war when peace has been brought about. There can be little doubt now that the defeat of our enemies will prevent attacks upon this country from without for many years to come. We are all agreed that that result may be strengthened and assured by the creation of an international organization to preserve peace. We hope that such an organization can insure peace, not only in the immediate future, but for generations to come. The San Francisco Conference, under the most severe handicaps of political and economic differences will at least establish an international forum constantly working to prevent the recurrence of war. But we must constantly remind ourselves that the only purpose of this war, the only purpose of the battle fought here at Gettysburg in 1863, the only purpose of any war in which this country has been engaged is to maintain here at home the freedom which was won in 1776, the freedom to work out here the destiny of the American Republic. American foreign policy and international organizations are only a means to that end. And so we should be equally concerned here today that we retain in Washington the policies necessary to assure that freedom. It is useless to destroy totalitarianism in Germany and Japan and then establish it in the United States. There is real danger of just that result for the whole thought of the world has moved steadily toward the totalitarian philosophy, toward the subjection of the individual to the state instead of a government by the people. Government controls such as peacetime military conscription which would have been indignantly rejected in the nineteenth century, are given serious consideration, even in this country-Totalitarian thought has spread over the world. When Mussolini established a dictatorship in Italy, many of our citizens thought that a little benevolent despotism was a good thing for the Italian people. Hitler brought it to Germany, the military caste brought it to Japan, largely because so many people lost faith in the efficacy of democratic government. We see it also on our side, in the great Russian Soviet, in Chiang Kai-shek's China, in Brazil, in Argentina and to many other Latin-American countries. It has made progress because so many people have been persuaded that it is perhaps desirable to surrender individual freedom and let someone dictate their lives better than they themselves can arrange them. In this country many people who would indignantly deny any soft feeling for State control are advocates of measures which lead inevitably in that direction because they are dissatisfied with the necessary slow progress involved in a government where all the people are given a voice. I believe that freedom can only be preserved if we retain government by the people all the time. I heard a United States Senator argue that we could have freedom and democracy even though Congress delegated all its powers to the President during the war and adjourned, because, he said, we could meet again and take those powers away. There are two fallacies in that view. While that form of government lasts, there is no freedom and it is not government by the people. Secondly, if it lasts too long, the powers granted by the people are never returned to them. That has been the history of popular government from the days of Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages to Germany and Japan today. The best protection of freedom is to maintain continuous rule by the people. It cannot be done without constant vigilance against the turning over of power to governments and to men who are in effect beyond the reach of the people. The very size of the Republic today leads to a delegation of power. The machinery by which 135,000,000 people govern themselves is necessarily so complicated that it is hard to devise a system in which the real voice of the people is heard. Hundreds of bureaus have been created, and even here in Washington we don't know how many bureaus there are or what it is that they are doing. Each one is a little kingdom in itself. When the ordinary man comes to Washington, he has a hard enough time to find out which is the bureau which is bossing him, and an even harder time to get consideration for his views. More than a hundred Government corporations have been created, even less accountable to Congress than the bureaus. Washington is a vast rabbit warren of bureaucrats, all issuing regulations having the force and effect of law and building up a control to which the people gradually come to conform their lives. The war has required a suspension of many freedoms, and the people have become so used to regulations that they almost forget what freedom is. The danger of totalitarian government is that the people do get used to it, as to a narcotic. The time has come to remember that many of these restrictions on freedom were only created to preserve freedom and should be abandoned when freedom is assured. The size of the Republic, the complexity of modern problems in the economic field, all lead the people to the easy course of turning over the problems to someone else, to some expert, perhaps, to solve the whole business. Instead of thinking out problems for themselves, inhabitants of a totalitarian world would accept the advice of supposedly expert columnists or radio commentators, who are also too busy to think out their problems, and who accept what is handed to them by the Government. A people unconcerned with their own liberty want every problem to be handled by a czar. They are impatient with Congress if Congress takes time to argue a case on its merits. A frame of mind in dealing with public questions which moves on waves of emotion, engulfing editors, writers, and broadcasters alike, and demands solutions today for every complex problem, is a frame of mind leading to totalitarian government. While we talk constantly of democracy and free enterprise, I see too many of the very people who use that language advocating measures which deny it. Too many businessmen believe in controls of the NRA code variety, quotas, cartels, division of production, the fixing of minimum coal prices, and other measures to protect business from excessive competition. Labor unions, which ought to be the very core of democracy, are ruled by perpetual leaders almost without the formality of reelection. At this very moment demands are being made that Congress give up its power to fix tariffs and to provide for the reorganization of the Government departments, on the ground that democratic processes are too slow and ineffective. Arbitrary power must be granted to carry through the currently popular theories. Every bill proposes that Congress delegate its power to make law to some board, and the Supreme Court itself is dominated by the thought that the people themselves and their representatives are incompetent even to prescribe standards, but must give power to make law to administrative agencies. Nearly every bill introduced proposes increased Federal power, and the reduction of the power of States and local governments where the people's voice can be heard. In education, in health, and in unemployment compensation, Federal bureaus seek wide and arbitrary power to affect the lives of millions of individuals. People who think themselves sincere believers in democratic government want everything desirable at once, and the more attractive the goal, the less they care about the method. If this frame of mind were carried to its logical conclusion, it would lead to the turning over of all power to a benevolent dictator to carry out the good things which he promises and which he presents in a sufficiently attractive package. Of course, this general attitude makes the ground fertile for Government propaganda. A desirable end such as peace or extended foreign trade is linked with certain particular methods and panaceas proposed and highly recommended by the Government, or accompanied by a demand for broad power to solve the problem without further interference from Congress. Anyone who is opposed to this particular panacea is at once labeled as opposed to peace or foreign trade, and probably pictured as a reactionary, a Fascist, or even a Republican. All the arguments for the favored remedy are blared over the radio and broadcast in pamphlets, and no argument is admitted against it. The first Dumbarton Oaks proposal was pictured as so letter perfect, that I am still getting attacks on Senator Vandenberg's amendments by people who don't know that the State Department has accepted them. Bretton Woods and the revised reciprocal trade treaties are pictured as the only cures for all foreign-trade difficulties. The question is not the desirability of these various delegations of people's power, it is the frame of mind which seems to be willing to abandon that power without question, It is the frame of mind which avoids the discussion of the merits of a problem and accepts the voice of the state as the voice of God. Nothing is so dangerous to democracy as a vast machine of propaganda, for it strikes at the very root of democratic government. Government by the people can only endure if it is founded on intelligent decision based on accurate knowledge. (THE NEXT SECTION OF TAFT'S SPEECH ADDRESSES HIS OPPOSITION TO THE MILITARY DRAFT, WHICH BEGAN AFTER WW II.  IT'S A VERY INTERESTING, HISTORICAL EXPLANATION OF HOW THE DRAFT BEGAN) This afternoon I wish to speak particularly about one step now proposed, supported by Government propaganda, which seems to me to strike at the very basis of freedom, for which our boys are fighting. It is the proposal that we establish at once compulsory conscription for military training in time of peace. The proposal is that we establish in this country a continuous 12 months' military training for every boy, the same military set-up which we have gone to war to abolish in Germany and Japan. Whether we become a militaristic and totalitarian country depends more on this measure than any other. It does not relate to any limited class or group. It reaches every family and every boy. It subjects them completely to the domination of the Government for a year during their most formative period. It keeps them under constant supervision as reserves for years thereafter. The power to take a boy from his home and subject him to complete Government discipline is the most serious limitation on freedom that can be imagined. Many who have accepted the idea favor a similar Government-controlled training for all girls. There is no doubt that the Government, and particularly the War and Navy Departments, are straining every nerve to secure the enactment of this legislation before the war ends. Secret meetings are being held in the Pentagon Building and elsewhere. On April 26 the chief executive officers of some 40 or more women's organizations were invited there, and it is said they were addressed by the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Under Secretary of State, General Marshall, Admiral King, and other high-ranking officers. The ladies were requested not to disclose the substance of the speeches made or identify the War Department or its officials with the sponsorship of the plan. One newspaper stated that the ministers of various churches were invited to a similar meeting and attended, and that Negro organizations have been approached. Invitations went out from a citizens committee in New York to hear Secretary Forrestal, Under Secretary Grew, and General Weible at an off-the-record luncheon on May 25. Government propaganda is bad enough when it is open, but it is inexcusable when secret. We may expect a flood of open propaganda after the ground has been prepared, and everyone who is opposed to the plan will be pictured as for war and for unpreparedness. We have fought this war to preserve our institutions, not to change them. We have fought it to permit us to work out our problems here at home on a peaceful foundation, not on a foundation dominated by military preparations for another war. The question of the best form of military organization should not be an emotional problem. It should be dealt with by argument and not by propaganda. But the methods being used threaten the freedom of this country, for if they are successful they can be used to fasten upon us every kind of regulation, price control for business, wage control for labor, production control for farmers. If we approach this problem logically and not emotionally, the first question should be how large an Army we need to insure our freedom. Why not discuss what the right size is so that we can determine the best method of providing it? How can we tell how large an Army we do need until the peace is made and the organization of the world effected? It seems to me impossible to pass intelligently on the need for conscription at this time. Must we not see first what kind of a world is established at San Francisco and at the peace table? There are approximately 1,250,000 American boys in every age group. Is it necessary to train them all for a full year at a cost of at least two and a half billion dollars a year? This would provide reserves of about twelve and a half million men between the ages of 18 to 27. Is any such reserve necessary? Certainly, it is not needed in a hurry, for the armies we now have will be the best possible reserve for the next 3 or 4 years. The Selective Service Act expressly provides that all drafted men at the end of the war shall be transferred to the reserve and remain there for 10 years. Apparently, the argument for doing this job now is that the people might not be willing to do it later. That is certainly a typical totalitarian argument. It is an attempt to base a great permanent national policy on war emotion, because the proponents are afraid of government by the people when they have time to think it over. It seems improbable to me that the training of a million and a quarter boys a year would ever be necessary. The vast reserve provided could only be needed for a great overseas expedition like that in which we are now engaged. For such an expedition, it would take several years to organize ships, planes, and munitions, just as it did in this war. We would surely have to have new modern equipment in many fields, and it would take longer to build it than it would to train the men, as we found in this war. It would seem that for sudden attack, or for attack from the air or from attack by rockets the great mass of millions of reserves would be of little value. I should think we rather need an expert Army with the most modern weapons. In the event of a sudden attack, our main reliance would have to be a Regular Army of highly trained and technically trained men, and during such an attack they would not be much aided by 10,000,000 reserves. The argument that we can save in the size of a professional army by having many millions of reserves bears all the earmarks of a propaganda argument instead of one based on common sense. Having determined that we need an Army of a certain size, with certain reserves, we could then decide whether we could get it by voluntary means in the American tradition. Suppose we need a million men in the armed forces. We expect to have at least 50,000,000 people working at civilian jobs in this country. Surely we can make the Army sufficiently attractive as an occupation for 2 percent of these to be willing to volunteer. With good pay, reasonable treatment for men and their families, and provision for retraining and retirement when a man is too old to stay in the Army, I don't see why Army life cannot be made just as attractive as working daily on a machine, mining coal, or engaging in hundreds of other occupations. Many jobs in the Army should give highly technical training with interesting knowledge which makes the trainees capable of advancement in other activities in life. To provide the necessary Reserves, it could be made worth the while of many boys to take the necessary training. Many alternative plans have been suggested to a year's conscription. For instance, adequate reserves might be provided by training 200,000 boys in each age group. It should be possible to obtain volunteers in that number for a 3-month course and basic training during one summer, courses in school and a later 3-month summer course in the field. The boys could be paid a sum which would assist them in their regular education during the winter. Additional courses could be provided for those who wish to become Reserve officers. What I have suggested is only one idea and there may be many others. The Army will immediately criticize any plan, because they are determined to have conscription. They want the boys for 12 months consecutively because they want to change their habits of thought, to make them soldiers, if you please, for the rest of their lives. Nothing less will do. We are indeed bankrupt of ideas if we cannot provide a method by which necessary military forces and Reserves are provided by an American voluntary system. The other arguments for conscription seem to me almost too trivial to discuss. It is said it will teach the boys discipline and that they need it. My own opinion is that we need more initiative and original thinking and less discipline rather than more. Our present Army is not the most disciplined Army in the world, but there isn't any better Army for the simple reason that the boys do some thinking for themselves. It is said the Army will improve their health, and that they need it because so many failed to pass the strict health requirements of the Army. As a matter of fact, the great bulk of defects were those relating to teeth, eyes, mental, nerves, and heart conditions, all of which had arisen long before the age of conscription. There is nothing to show that the Army would conscript any of these boys. To improve their health, we must reach them at a much younger age. The argument that it would improve the morals of our boys has almost been dropped because of its foolishness. If there is one place where morals will not be improved, it is in the vicinity of Army camps. It is true that there are some boys who are benefited by Army control, but to improve a few, let us not change the whole character of the American life which I believe has been the cause of success in this war. It is said that we are going to teach the boys citizenship in the camps. This argument makes clear a real danger in the whole system. By handing boys over for 12 months to the arbitrary and complete domination of the Government, we put it in the power of the Government to indoctrinate them with the political doctrines then popular with the Government. It has all the dangers of Federal education and none of its advantages. Attempts along this line have been made with the present Army, and a large amount of propaganda sent out to be taught to the soldiers. In wartime it is bad enough; in peacetime, it would be intolerable. Some have supported this project on the ground that the training is only to be part military and a considerable amount of it is to be character training along other lines. We have already a complete school system in this country. If it isn't adequate and does not give education in citizenship, we can well spend our time and money in trying to improve that system. As a matter of fact, it is already the finest system of education the world has ever seen. Military conscription is essentially totalitarian. It has been established for the most part in totalitarian countries and their dictators led by Napoleon and Bismark. It has heretofore been established by aggressor countries. It is said it would insure peace by emphasizing the tremendous military potential of this country. Surely we have emphasized that enough in this war. No one can doubt it. On the contrary, if we establish conscription every other nation in the world will feel obliged to do the same. It would set up militarism on a high pedestal throughout the world as the goal of all the world. Militarism has always led to war and not peace. Conscription was no insurance of victory in France, in Germany, or in Italy. The countries with military conscription found that it was only an incident and not the determining factor in defense or in victory. Military training by conscription means the complete regimentation of the individual at his most formative period for a period of 12 months. If we admit that in peacetime we can deprive a man of all liberty and voice and freedom of action, if we can take him from his family and his home, then we can do the same with labor, we can order the farmer to produce and we can take over any business. If we can draft men, it is difficult to find an argument against drafting capital. Those who enthusiastically orate of returning to free enterprise and at the same time advocate peacetime conscription are blind to the implications of this policy. They are utterly inconsistent in their position. Because of its psychological effect on every citizen, because it is the most extreme form of compulsion, military conscription will be more the test of our whole philosophy than any other policy. Some say it is unconstitutional. It makes very little difference whether it actually violates the terms of the Constitution. It is against the fundamental policy of America and the American Nation. If adopted, it will color our whole future. We shall have fought to abolish totalitarianism in the world, only to set it up in the United States. Government by the people can only exist if the people are individuals who think. It can only exist if the individual is free to rule the state and if he is not ruled by the state. We must be constantly vigilant to keep alive the thinking of freemen, and there is no such threat to that thinking as the course which would impose on the Nation compulsory military training. We have no greater obligation to the men who fought at Gettysburg, we have no greater obligation to the men who fought in Europe and who are fighting in the Pacific, than to preserve here in America a state in which the individual shall be free to think and be master of his own soul, and where the people shall be free to govern their own Government. Folks, Sen. Taft got it right: "We have no greater obligation to the men who fought... than to preserve here in America a state in which the individual shall be free to think and be master of his own soul, and where the people shall be free to govern their own Government." May we remember Taft's words on this Memorial Day and every day to come.
