It's starting to look like 1948 all over again.

Mark Twain observed that while history doesn't repeat itself, it often rhymes.  The 2012 presidential campaign is now rhyming with that of 1948 in iambic trimeter - the poetic form tragedians of Ancient Greece such as Aeschylus and Sophocles used to best express portending doom.

So let's revisit that extraordinary yesteryear of 1948, resulting in the most famous upset in American politics - Democrat Harry Truman defeating Republican Tom Dewey - and see how we can avoid a similar outcome by using it to our advantage.]]></description>

It's time to choose.  There's only one thing that can extricate the world from the calamity descending upon it.

Jefferson is warning us right now about "the impious presumption of legislators and rulers...setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others."  Because Jefferson's and Madison's solution to preventing religious wars - Religious Liberty - is the solution to preventing the economic wars about to descend upon us.

That solution is Economic Liberty.  That solution is the Separation of Economy and State - for precisely the same reasons for the Separation of Church and State.  Such a separation - capitalism for real - is the only thing that will save the world from plunging into economic darkness.  Violently.

With Obama's Osawatomie Speech, we have reached the fork in the road of America's future.  The critical moment has arrived.  If you can stomach it, read the whole thing.  It is diabolically dishonest.  He is actually claiming his Marxist-Fascist values are those of America's.  He has the mind-boggling demagogic chutzpah to claim that free market capitalism "doesn't work - it has never worked."

Free market capitalism - economic liberty - is the only thing that ever has worked to create widespread prosperity.  What has never worked in history is what Obama advocates: socialism, fascism, and the destruction of economic liberty by government rules, hamstrings, restrictions, taxes, and subsidies.]]></description>

Just following Congress, the 2012 presidential campaign and the inability of citizens to influence government policy makes it clear to every American how broken the US political system has become. A few powerful interests run the entire show and the American people are being forced down a dark road to economic destruction. History shows us that Washington is immune to conventional national political action under the present system. What can freedom loving Americans do?

So do freedom advocates just give up or wait for the eventual collapse of the economy and the US political system?

There is only one effective, democratic and peaceful tool left to Americans to defend their liberties and restore the original republic of our founding fathers. It is the right of state sovereignty and nullification.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jeffrey Tucker

There are occasions in American life — and they come too often these days — when you want to scream: “what the heck has happened to this country?!” Everyone encounters events that strike a particular nerve, some egregious violations of the norms for a free country that cut very deeply and personally.

We wonder: do we even remember what it means to be free?

You hear slogans about the “land of the free” and we still sing patriotic songs at the ballpark and even at church on Sunday, and these songs are always about our blessed liberty, the battles of our ancestors against tyranny, the special love of liberty that animates our heritage and national self identity. The contrast with reality grows starker by the day.

And it isn’t just about our personal liberty and our freedom to move about with a sense that we are exercising our rights. It hits us in the economic realm, where no goods or services change hands that aren’t subject to the total control of the leviathan state. No business is really safe from being bludgeoned by legislatures, regulators, and the tax police, while objecting only makes you more of a target.

Few dare say it publicly: America has become a police state. ]]></description>

On Thanksgiving Day, Americans gather with their family and friends to celebrate the blessings that Providence has bestowed on their beloved country.

A deep appreciation of these blessings involves understanding that they were earned.  It is to understand the awesome truth of how "God helps those who help themselves" applies to the Mayflower Pilgrims and their First Thanksgiving at America's birth.

This is an appreciation and understanding of which those on the Left are incapable - for it would mean celebrating the capitalist freedom that made that original Thanksgiving possible.  This no liberal, no Democrat, no leftie can do.  Thus they must distort history instead.

The distortion starts in Kindergarten, with the childish make-believe of your kid's school play portraying the noble Squanto teaching the helpless Pilgrims how to feed themselves. So let's drop the curtain on the distortion and watch the real thing. Here it is.]]></description>

In most countries for most of history, people were pretty much locked into the social class into which they were born.  But in America men and women of modest means could become rich -- if they had an idea for making life better, and worked tirelessly to make their vision real. 

Entrepreneurs such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs became very, very rich.  The rest of us were enriched, too, by the fruits of their genius and their labor -- the electric light, the automobile and the computer, and tens of thousands of other inventions and new, better ways of organizing things.

People who don't have good ideas and who don't want to work hard want to be rich, too.  Some have found a way.

In the last two years, while middle class Americans have been struggling, the net worth of Members of Congress increased 25 percent.

"How do politicians who arrive in Washington D.C. as men and women of modest means leave as millionaires?" Sarah Palin asked.  "How do they miraculously accumulate wealth at a rate faster than the rest of us?"]]></description>

Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. It took coming here, to the darkest pit of hellhole Africa, for it to finally dawn on me who Obama really is, to what total extent he isn't American at all, but African.

This is my first time here, and assuredly will be the last.  Yet I wrote about Equatorial Guinea back in 2006 as an example of "Why Africa Is So Stupid."  It discusses the research on global IQ explaining why sub-Saharan Africa is at the bottom of humanity's barrel in terms of tyranny, corruption, and poverty - because the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is 67. 

Freedom House, in its 2011 Worst of the Worst report, highlights Equatorial Guinea as "one of the world's most repressive societies."  Its dictator, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, is a murderer who ran the Black Beach Prison where countless prisoners were tortured to death.

Obiang uses his country's oil revenue as his personal piggy bank, enriching his friends and family while the average citizen of his country lives on $1 a day.  But there is nothing at all exceptional about him.  He is merely yet another example of what in Africa are called Big Men - narcissistic charismatic sociopaths who gain power however they can, never let go of it, look upon themselves as demi-gods for whom ordinary morality does not apply, utterly convinced they deserve to be worshipped with total obedience, and to live in complete extravagance while being completely indifferent to the poverty of others.

Remind you of anyone in America?]]></description>

“Your papers!” In old movies, the demand is barked at trembling travelers by a Nazi with a guttural accent. If the demand is made in the opening scene, then the audience knows immediately that they watching a totalitarian state in which travelers are in danger.

“Your papers!” now rings out at every American airport and border crossing. The accent is different but travelers need to recognize with equal immediacy that a totalitarian state is playing out in front of their eyes, and they must be careful.

A passport is where the security theater begins. Indeed, without a passport those who wish to fly or cross a border are not “allowed” to be scanned, searched, interrogated, or undergo a plethora of other indignities imposed by uniformed thugs. The hoops through which passport carriers jump are all prelude to “permitting” them to exercise a right belonging to every freeborn person: the right to travel.

Things were not always this way.]]></description>

The evidence is mounting that the Fast and Furious gun giveaway was orchestrated and/or initiated from the top of the Obama administration. Forbes Magazine is calling it “Obama’s Watergate.”  Are we to believe that they gave away enough guns to equip a small army of narcoterrorists out of a simple error? We would have to be pretty gullible to believe that.

We have to ask just what they intended to achieve by doing this. It was a truly extravagant gift to the Sinaloa Federation Cartel. It was not just expensive in tax dollars; it was expensive in political capital, and it was so close to the 2012 election.

People don’t give such expensive things away for nothing. The Obama people must have expected something in return.]]></description>

The transition to a police state will not come about with a dramatic coup d'etat, with battering rams and marauding militia. As we have experienced first-hand in recent years, it will creep in softly, one violation at a time, until suddenly you find yourself being subjected to random patdowns and security sweeps during your morning commute to work or quick trip to the shopping mall.

Perhaps you have yet to experience the particular thrill, and I use that word loosely, of being manhandled by government agents, having your personal possessions pawed through, and your activities and associations scrutinized. If so, not to worry. It's only a matter of time before more and more Americans will experience such a military task force knocking at their door. Only, chances are that it won't be a knock, and they might not even be at home when government agents decide to "investigate" them. Indeed, as increasing numbers of Americans are discovering, these so-called "soft target" security inspections are taking place whenever and wherever the government deems appropriate, at random times and places, and without needing the justification of a particular threat. Worse, not only is this happening with the blessing of the Obama administration but at its urging.

What I'm describing--something that was once limited to authoritarian regimes--is only possible thanks to an unofficial rewriting of the Fourth Amendment by the courts that essentially does away with any distinctions over what is "reasonable" when it comes to searches and seizures by government agents. The rationale, of course, is that anything is "reasonable" in the war on terrorism. What the powers-that-be understand--and Americans remain oblivious to--is the fact that by constantly pushing the envelope and testing the limits of what Americans will tolerate, the government is thus able to ratchet up the level of intrusiveness that Americans consider reasonable.]]></description>
