I asked Hillary to comment on Michael Moore’s "Sicko.." I received an autoresponse explaining that she doesn’t have time to answer anyone outside of NY. Is there somebody involved with this blog from New York who can ask her for me? Moore’s accusations were pretty severe and I suspect fairly accurate.If true, it’s time for me to quit bleating with the herd and start yelling with those who would like to leave an honorable legacy to their kids.

Two-thirds of Americans sided with the British when they came here to regain control and enforce their taxes upon Americans. The Revolutionaries had big problems getting people to support them.
The majority of people were sheep back then, too.
The Revolutionaries came up with the idea of issuing paper promissory notes (a form of tradeable currency) that were backed by Spanish milled gold (gold coins). This was their way of issuing bonds in order to raise money to help them fight the British (bankers). None of these loans were ever paid back, by the way. The Spanish gold did not exist.
The British tried to introduce disorder into the system by creating counterfeit promissory notes. Benjamin Franklin overcame this problem by using leaves of common plants to create a unique imprint on each paper note. Each leaf print was unique, which means that counterfeit paper notes could no longer be printed in volume by the British.
As you can see, the bankers were a bunch of bastards back then, too.
Thomas Paine then anonymously wrote "Common Sense," which was a big hit and only after that happened, did broad public support for the Revolutionaries occur. This was, in fact, the single event that gave us our independence from the bankers.
Our writers and philosophers will ultimately be needed to do the same thing today. Rallying in the streets is great, signs are great, but all is for nothing if the writers and philosophers do not step forward to do their part.

Great post, the Clintons are hypocrites. The simple truth is that if Libby didn’t get a commutation the Libs would find a whole new argument to make. But now, watching the news releases come out from the DNC while Bill Clinton is their wandering hero and listening to Hillary while her brothers got rich of pardons issued by her husband, listening to Obama talk about the corruption of it all while he seeks the endorsement and endorses Democrats under investigation or who have been investigated for rank corruption (maybe he needs to talk about them and pardons if he ever got into the White House and they stopped skating around the law), it makes me sick.
