Dispute over flag protest erupts in Wisc. village

WAUSAU, Wis. – An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it — an Iraq war veteran — claims the officers trespassed and stole his property.

A day after the parade, police returned the flag and the man’s protest — over a liquor license — continued.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin is considering legal action against the village of Crivitz for violating Vito Congine Jr.’s’ First Amendment rights, Executive Director Chris Ahmuty said.

“It is not often that you see something this blatant,” Ahmuty said.

In mid-June, Congine, 46, began flying the flag upside down — an accepted way to signal distress — outside the restaurant he wants to open in Crivitz, a village of about 1,000 people some 65 miles north of Green Bay.

He said his distress is likely bankruptcy because the village board refused to grant him a liquor license after he spent nearly $200,000 to buy and remodel a downtown building for an Italian supper club.

Congine’s upside-down-flag represents distress to him; to others in town, it represents disrespect of the flag.

Hours before a Fourth of July parade, four police officers went to Congine’s property and removed the flag under the advice of Marinette County District Attorney Allen Brey.

Neighbor Steven Klein watched in disbelief.

“I said, ‘What are you doing?’ Klein said. “They said, ‘It is none of your business.’”

The next day, police returned the flag.

Brey declined comment Friday.

Marinette County Sheriff Jim Kanikula said it was not illegal to fly the flag upside down but people were upset and it was the Fourth of July.

“It is illegal to cause a disruption,” he said.

The parade went on without any problems, Kanikula said.

Village President John Deschane, 60, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, said many people in town believe it’s disrespectful to fly the flag upside down.

“If he wants to protest, let him protest but find a different way to do it,” Deschane said.

Congine, a Marine veteran who served in Iraq in 2004, said he intends to keep flying the flag upside down.

“It is pretty bad when I go and fight a tyrannical government somewhere else,” Congine said, “and then I come home to find it right here at my front door.”

Identity theft: America’s fastest growing crime

Today’s versions of John Dilinger or Baby Face Nelson are more likely to use a laptop computer than a gun. Logging on to the internet under an alias is quite a bit safer than robbing a bank. This is why Identity Theft is America’s fastest growing crime. In Pennsylvania the number of victims of identity theft runs into the tens of thousands.

There are numerous ways a criminal can obtain one’e identity. Some of the more obvious methods of obtaining identifying infromation would be; stealing a person’s preapproved credit card applications from their mail, a store employee recording credit card numbers while processing consumer transactions, or stealing someone’s wallet or purse and using the credit cards contained inside.

Here are the more sophisticated methods. An employee of an Internet Service Provider can be paid off to allow the criminal access to numerous customer e-mail accounts. Or an employee of a company’s payroll department can be encouraged to provide the employment applications of job candidates to the thief.

Now how do we protect ourselves from these invasions, the following are suggestions from the US Postal Inspectors:

1. Place all outgoing mail in a blue postal box instead of a residential mail box.

2. Shred all preapproved credit applications, financial statements, and old credit cards.

3. Order a copy of your credit report once per year and check for any unauthorized purchases.

4. Limit the amount of information that you put over the phone or internet.

Here are the steps you should take when your identity has already been compromised.

1. File a police report.

2. Obtain a complete copy of the Identity Theft Affidavit.

3. Close all compromised accounts.

4. Place a fraud alert with the credit bureaus.

5. Request that credit reporting bureaus block fraudulent information.

6. File a complaint witht he Federal Trade Commission.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –7 (see trends).

The Rasmussen Consumer Index shows that consumer confidence is down again on Friday. That’s the sixth straight daily decline and confidence is now at the lowest level since mid-March. Just 8% rate the economy as good or excellent while 62% say it’s in poor shape.

For the second straight month, voters are more likely to trust Republicans than Democrats on the economy. A Rasmussen video report notes that most Americans say the efforts of the G-8 leaders are not likely to help the economy. And, 59% reject the Pope’s call for more international regulation of the economy.

Later today, Rasmussen Reports will release new polling data on campaign finance reform. Premium Members can get an advance look at the results along with Scott Rasmussen’s Daily Briefing.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter.

Overall, 51% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove. The pattern of overall approval leaning in the President’s direction but the number with strong opinions leaning the other way is also reflected in public reaction to health care reform and climate change legislation. For other barometers of the President’s performance, see Obama By the Numbers or review recent demographic highlights from the tracking polls.

Please take our Daily Prediction Challenge and predict the results of upcoming polls. Among other topics, you can predict where the President’s approval index will be on September 30 and what percentage of Americans believe Michael Jackson will be remembered primarily for his legal troubles.

A White House meeting recently gave a boost to immigration reform, but immigration reform but public opposition remains high. There is a huge gap between the views of most voters and the Political Class on this topic.

In New Jersey, Republican Chris Christie continues to lead incumbent Governor Jon Corzine.

Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters nationwide say the U.S. is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of optimism since mid-March. The Rasmussen Index shows consumer and investor confidence are down again today reaching the lowest level in three months. The Discover U.S. Spending Monitor fell for the first time in three months. A Rasmussen video report notes that 46% want the government to stay out of the housing market.

Just 27% of voters nationwide favor passage of a second economic stimulus package. Sixty percent (60%) are opposed.

An early look at the 2012 race for the Republican nomination shows Mitt Romney at 25%, Sarah Palin at 24%, and Mike Huckabee at 22%. Forty percent (40%) of GOP voters say that Palin hurt her chances of winning the nomination by resigning as Alaska’s Governor last week. Among all voters, Republicans now have a three-point edge on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

When comparing Job Approval data from different firms, it’s important to keep in mind that polls of likely voters and polls of all adults will typically and consistently yield different results. In the case of President Obama, polls by all firms measuring all adults typically show significantly higher approval ratings than polls of likely voters. Polls of registered voters typically fall in the middle. Other factors are also important to consider when comparing Job Approval ratings from different polling firms.

A Fordham University professor has rated the national pollsters on their record in Election 2008. We also have provided a summary of our results for your review.

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The margin of sampling error—for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters–is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Premium Members.

Like all polling firms, Rasmussen Reports weights its data to reflect the population at large (see methodology). Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process. While partisan affiliation is generally quite stable over time, there are a fair number of people who waver between allegiance to a particular party or independent status. Over the past four years, the number of Democrats in the country has increased while the number of Republicans has decreased.

Our baseline targets are established based upon separate survey interviews with a sample of adults nationwide completed during the preceding three months (a total of 45,000 interviews) and targets are updated monthly. Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 39.0% Democrats, 32.5% Republicans, and 28.5% unaffiliated. Likely voter samples typically show a slightly smaller advantage for the Democrats.

A review of last week’s key polls is posted each Saturday morning. Other stats on Obama are updated daily on the Rasmussen Reports Obama By the Numbers page. We also invite you to review other recent demographic highlights from the tracking polls.

America will pay with cap and trade

MCT News ServicePresident Barack Obama makes remarks on energy last month at the White House.

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed major “cap-and-trade” legislation that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050.

But before lawmakers move on to the next hot issue (health reform? a second stimulus? Michael Jackson?), they need to give this legislation a makeover. If this version of cap and trade becomes law, we all will be paying for a wrongheaded bailout for Mother Nature.

The bill that passed the House just before lawmakers ran off for Fourth of July vacation is a stuffed turkey — about 1,500 pages in the end.

It goes well beyond setting federal energy policy. It would force states to meet targets for use of renewable energy such as wind and solar power.

It even would make rules for homeowners associations, which could no longer ban installation of rooftop solar panels.

The only thing more excessive than this bill’s ambition is its price tag.

The Congressional Budget Office predicts the average household will pay $175 a year in extra utility costs.

Outside groups say the bill’s per-household cost will be much greater, as much as $3,000 annually.

Why the expense? The bill pours billions of dollars into investments for clean coal, hybrid vehicles and nuclear power, to name a few.

There are arguments for increased federal spending in some of these areas, but not when they are tossed casually into much larger legislation.

The bigger drag on the economy will come as energy producers are forced to buying the rights to release carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

The concept makes sense, yet the aggressive 80 percent target means that utilities like Consumers Energy will be forced to make expensive investments on a government timetable. Or they will pay a premium for scarce emission permits.

Either way, homeowners and businesses will pay greatly.

The bill’s backers say jobs will be created as new energy technologies take root, yet they fail to account for the collateral damage to the U.S. economy.

Drastically higher energy prices will push companies to relocate out of the country or pass along their costs to customers if they do stay.

The public should demand less meddling, particularly as states, local governments, businesses and households all are moving to help the environment.

Michigan lawmakers adopted an energy bill last year that forces Consumers and other utilities to create more energy from the wind and sun. And they did it without Washington breathing down their necks.

What makes more sense now is for the Senate to scrap this legislation in favor of a more moderate version of this bill later.

Or if the Senate acts on its own version, perhaps House members like our own U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer — who voted for this bill — will change course and vote no.

Congress has a role in protecting the environment.

But in the case of greenhouse gases, its role should be to nudge people toward more responsible behavior.

This cap-and-trade bill is more than a nudge. For the nation’s economy, it is a push off the cliff.

Rep. King on Jackson: ‘There’s nothing good about this guy’

Posted: 06:41 PM ET

From From CNN.com’s Kristi Keck and CNN’s Paul Steinhauser

(CNN) – New York Rep. Peter King called on the media to “knock out the psycho-babble” and stop covering Michael Jackson because “this guy was a pervert.”

“He was a child molester. He was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country,” King said Sunday in front of the American Legion Hall in Wantagh. “We’re too politically correct. No one wants to stand up and say, ‘We don’t need Michael Jackson.’”

<script src=”http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=dom&vid=/video/politics/2009/07/06/sot.king.jackson.pedophile.cnn” type=”text/javascript”></script><noscript>Embedded video from <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/video”>CNN Video</a></noscript>

 

King, a nine-term Republican representative from New York’s Third Congressional District, said the media has “disgraced itself,” noting that there are people dying everyday.

“There are men and women dying today in Afghanistan. Let’s give them the credit they deserve,” he added.

 

Jackson went on trial for child molestation allegations in 2005, but was acquitted after a 14-week media circus of a trial in Santa Maria, California. A decade earlier, prosecutors in Los Angeles declined to file charges in their own 13-month child molestation investigation. That case settled out of court, reportedly with Jackson paying millions in damages.

“There’s nothing good about this guy. He may have been a good singer, did some dancing, but bottom-line is — would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room with Michael Jackson? What are we glorifying him for?” King said, asking instead that the public honor people like servicemen, teachers and firefighters.

King defended his comments in an interview Monday with CNN radio affiliate WOR, “The fact is that what he has done as far as young children are concerned, young boys are concerned, is a horrible example to set to the world.”

“…Anyone who causes evil or endangers children, to me that supersedes anything else. And do we as a culture really want to be defined by Michael Jackson’s singing and dancing or by the fact that he became a worldwide spectacle for abuse of children? “

King was chairman of the powerful House Homeland Security Committee from 2005 until the Democrats took over the House in January 2007.

He won 64 percent of the vote in his re-election victory last November.

Earlier this year he said he was considering a run for the Senate next year, taking on Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, who replaced Hillary Clinton as New York’s junior senator

DENTAL HEALTH: Get to the root of a bright smile

Published: 2009/07/01 09:51:40 AM

 

Too much fluoride could prevent you from smiling as brightly as Hollywood film star Halle Berry.

Picture: WENN

 

 

YOU may remember your mother insisting you take fluoride tablets for healthy teeth. I remember raiding my mother’s medicine cabinet and chewing on those little white tablets as if they were sweets. I also recall eating blobs of my favourite-tasting toothpaste after brushing.

 

 

Sadly though, when my adult teeth grew, I ended up with something called enamel fluorosis — a consequence of excess fluoride ingestion and which required me to have my teeth capped “Hollywood-style” (like US actors Halle Berry, Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise, to name but a few) to hide the results (mottling and discoloration).

 

 

Enamel fluorosis is an example of what can happen if you take in much too much fluoride, but research suggests that even small amounts (like those found in water supplies) are a health hazard for both children and adults.

 

 

Regulations to fluoridate water supplies were originally implemented to help deliver the mineral (which is said to assist with healthy tooth development) to the population at large. According to Karl Lubout, a water quality specialist at Rand Water, our water does in fact contain a very low concentration of fluoride at just 0.2 parts per million.

 

 

He says: “We don’t believe that water is the right vehicle for fluoride transmission and at the same time, fluoridated water is bad for the environment.”

 

 

Not all of SA is serviced by Rand Water, however, and some areas, especially borehole sources of water, can contain very high levels of fluoride, says Lubout. Fluoride supplements, toothpastes and dietary sources are additional vehicles through which we ingest fluoride.

 

 

Dr Orlando Rojas, a Pretoria- based holistic dentist, believes we should not be taking in any fluoride at all, that it is not an essential mineral to dental health, and that there are safer and more effective ways to prevent tooth decay. However, the majority of South African dentists (and dentists worldwide) continue to prescribe fluoride treatments as well as toothpastes.

 

 

The fluoride issue remains a contentious one, but the anti-fluoride movement has been gaining some ground recently.

 

 

A 500-page review of fluoride’s toxicology was released in 2006 by a panel of experts appointed by the National Research Council (NRC) in the US. The NRC concluded that the safe drinking water standard in the US for fluoride of four parts per million was unsafe and should be lowered. The panel reviewed a large body of literature in which fluoride has a statistically significant association with a wide range of adverse effects in both adults and children. These include an increased risk of bone fractures, decreased thyroid function, lowered IQ, arthritic-like conditions, dental fluorosis and, possibly, osteosarcoma (bone cancer). In fact, up to 32% of Americans suffer from some form of dental fluorosis, according to the report.

 

 

Later that year, the American Dental Association made a policy change recommending that only purified, distilled or demineralised water should be used to prepare infant formula during the first 12 months of life. They also urged that children under two years of age stay away from fluoride toothpastes, supplements and mouth rinses unless prescribed by a dentist.

 

 

 

 

It is not just the safety of fluoride that is under scrutiny though, but also it’s effectiveness.

 

 

Another 2007 report issued by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology concluded that fluoride added to the public water supply, or prescribed as controlled-dose supplements, in addition to causing adverse effects, delivers no discernible health benefit. The Fluoride Action Network, a US-based organisation made up of environmentalists, scientists and medical professionals, issued a statement in 2008 calling for an end to all fluoridation worldwide.

 

 

Despite the hype, Dr Norman Cahi, a Sandton dentist, still prescribes fluoride in his practice. Cahi does not believe fluoride to be a poison, especially since we can and do ingest it through many dietary sources including soya, dairy products and tea, he says.

 

 

Cahi also says that since local water supplies are very low in fluoride, we may be lacking in this mineral (he says, the recommended safe and optimal levels are one part per million).

 

 

Up to 50% of dental disease can be arrested by using fluoride at therapeutic doses, says Cahi. He delivers and prescribes topical and systemic fluoride to children and adults at risk for dental decay. He also often recommends a fluoride- releasing dental sealant for children aged five to seven years at high risk for dental decay.

 

 

Cahi does not believe that fluoride is for everyone though, and says that a thorough case history should be taken before deciding whether or not a patient actually needs therapeutic fluoride. For example, he says a child fed on soya infant formula mixed with fluoride-rich borehole water would not need to be treated.

 

 

It is also necessary to look at how much toothpaste a child may be swallowing, says Cahi, as many children under eight tend to swallow large amounts. Parents and other carers should educate children on proper rinsing and spitting-out methods to prevent excessive swallowing of fluoride toothpaste, he says.

Preventing tooth decay — alternatives to fluoride

 

 

Dr Orlando Rojas, a Pretoria-based holistic dentist, offers advice for preventing tooth decay, without the use of fluoride toothpastes, gels or fluoridated water. He says general health and dental health cannot be separated. His tips include:

 

 

- Eat properly

 

 

Nothing beats a good diet and the restriction of refined sugars.

 

 

- Brush well

 

 

Brushing your teeth properly is also essential to do the trick. An electric toothbrush is best.

 

 

- Go natural

 

 

He prescribes natural toothpastes free from detergents such as sodium laurel sulphate, fluoride and chemicals.

 

 

“Many of them contain natural ingredients and herbs that provide excellent protection against decay and gingivitis,” he says.

 

 

To prevent tooth decay, he uses calcium phosphate preparations, which have proven preventative properties.

 

 

“I have been using these for my patients and my own children for a long time, even in a controlled manner in lactose-intolerant children without any problems,” says Rojas.

 

 

- Floss regularly

 

 

This is also essential for people who do not have established periodontal disease. Unfortunately, there is no chemical-free floss available in SA, so at least avoid the fluoridated variety, he advises.

 

 

- Scrape your tongue and wash your mouth

 

 

Rojas believes that tongue scrapers are great for helping to control bacterial colonisation by reducing oral pH to protect teeth as well. He advocates the use of chemical-free mouthwashes.

The Decline of Thinking

Butler Shaffer
LRC Blog

July 1, 2009 

The political establishment’s response to the global warming doubts raised by EPA researcher, Alan Carlin, is remarkable. The mantra chanted by one EPA official – and dutifully echoed across the media – is that Mr. Carlin “is not a scientist.” This fact, of course, has not kept Al Gore from becoming the patron saint of the environmental religion. (Gore received his PhD in which of the recognized sciences?)

 

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t
• 

An assertion of this sort is evidence of the anti-intellectualism that has metastasized across academia and spread to other venues of expression. Universities have become so dominated by an insistence upon the inviolability of the “turfs” of various disciplines as to make one unworthy to speak on matters of which he or she has not been certified to utter opinions by fellow academics. There was once a time – many decades ago – when a “liberal arts” education was regarded as a means of introducing people to a wide range of subject areas that would permit them to think and speak intelligently on various matters affecting their lives. Collective thinking – which now permeates college campuses – rejects such an idea, conferring subject matter monopolies according to one’s acknowledged “expertise.”

 

When my “In Restraint of Trade” book was first published twelve years ago, an academic reviewer from a respected history department spent most of his time acquainting his readers with the fact that I taught in a law school and not a history department. The review ended up being little more than a strident defense of turf, and a condemnation of my efforts to focus attention on matters unfamiliar to historians.

I enjoy watching Jonathan Hoenig every Saturday morning on Fox News’ “Cashin’ In” program on investment analysis. He is a consistent advocate of free-markets, individual liberty, and private property. He recently stated that humans “must think in order to survive,” but that we have recently been “outsourcing” this function to others. Such a practice now prevails on university campuses, and helps to explain why academia is a source of so little original and meaningful thinking. Don’t wonder about what anything means: the “experts” whose jobs are dependent upon advancing the agendas of the political establishment will explain it all to you!

The two party system has failed America

June 30, 2009     

While America’s wealthy continue to enjoy economic and recreational comforts, many parts of the world are being plunged into economic collapse, depression, and civil unrest. American elitist politicians enjoy the safety and protection provided by our military and secret service.  Meanwhile, the American citizen’s freedoms are attacked non-stop by Police State agencies in their homes, schools and neighborhoods.  The writing has been on the wall for some time, nothing has changed, and the plan for the New World Order is full force.

In America, the two party system has failed the people; the politicians feign fighting in front of cameras, while they sleep together at night.  Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., and now Obama have expressly followed elitist world power orders.  Nothing has changed and the class assault on America’s values, morals and freedoms continues.  George W. Bush, widely considered one of the worst presidents in US history, initiated legislation that stripped Americans of every right they thought they had.  This includes the Patriot Acts I and II, FISA Amendments Act of 2008, Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Amended Presidential Executive Orders, and the revocation of Posse Comitatus Act.  These actions were specifically designed for DOMESTIC control – under the illusion and disguise they “help” you.  These are only a few of the many fascist laws the Bush Administration championed.  As a result, they effectively changed the Judicial, Legislative and Executive powers forever. With financial ruin, a contrived illegal war, amnesty for illegal aliens, and wide-open borders, the 8 year agenda becomes glaringly clear… American people do not matter. 

 

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t
• 

Barack Hussein Obama ran on the platform of “change”.  Like every politician the two party system and mainstream media offer us, his campaign promises immediately disappeared once elected.  Despite his fictional campaign rhetoric, his immediate actions paint the picture of what to expect.  He strongly condemned lobbyists and claimed his cabinet would NOT allow them.  Today, his cabinet has more “special interest” lobbyists than any cabinet in history.  He made assertions of repealing Bush laws that infringed American rights.  He hasn’t repealed one.  In fact he is using the same laws to his benefit and further strip firearm and free speech rights.  The Obama Administration bailout dwarfs what Bush initiated.  With the illusion “it helps you,” but it is designed specifically for elitist entitlement.  Obama ran on an Anti-war platform, promising to pull troops and get out of Iraq.  He’s done the opposite, increasing troops and extending war to Afghanistan and perhaps Iran.  Remember Ross Perot’s famous quote?  “You hear that sucking sound?  That’s your American jobs going overseas” due to NAFTA and the government “sell out” of American jobs.  Independent Ross Perot was right.  Obama made promises in his campaign mantra that he would change foreign trade agreements.  Today, he shows little interest in NAFTA or foreign trade policy.  In a time of recession/depression with massive debt, Barack Obama spent 3 times more money than any president in US history for his inauguration.  Scholars and Historians liken the Obama youth to Hitler Youth, complete with combat training for “domestic safety”.  He made assertions Bush would be held accountable for his actions in Iraq and 9/11 – Today he won’t touch it.  They are on the same Globalist team, and he continues where Bush left off with the NAU plan to combine USA, Canada and Mexico thereby eliminating our borders and our sovereignty; essentially declaring our Declaration of Independence void.

 

Our ranking two party politicians can no longer be trusted because they are not making decisions in our interest.  World bankers, corporations, and elitists with an agenda have infiltrated our government.  These two party politicians are puppets.  They serve the elite and only have one goal, globalism.  They are not loyal to country or people.  Likewise, our main stream media only serve to reinforce that agenda and manipulate the minds of the people.  Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC corporate news appear to take their marching orders from Washington and other elitists.  They are equivalent to NAZI propaganda in the 1930s. Diversion, deception, misleading, and boycotting REAL news is the name of their game.  It’s not a coincidence.

These NEWS organizations spend hours diluting you with Hollywood drivel, American Idol, Sports, Dancing with the stars, and everything ridiculous WHILE at the same time major American legislation is passed to destroy your future.  Yet, this legislation goes on and is seldom heard about.  They serve to divert attention away from real issues.

Everything is a “sellout” and the American people eat popcorn and watch movies instead of compiling arms, food, and preparing for a revolution.  When the masses finally get clued into reality, it may be entirely too late.

Yes indeed, the two party system has failed the American people.  Politicians are bought and paid for and they disregard your children’s future with unabashed arrogance.

Everyone from legislators, to judges, to presidents, is manipulated and lopsided in the Democratic and Republican royalty.  The media gives the illusion you have a choice, while simultaneously stifling and ridiculing third party candidates and alternative media.  It is time for independence once again. We need independent candidates, media, and independence from corporate greed and lobbyists.  Independence from freedom-stripping legislators is the last hope that exists for a country founded on freedom.  The independent thinkers of America have long suffered ridicule and labels such as “conspiracy theorists”.  300 million people corralled into two parties is insanity, it is time the American citizen is heard.  It is time for American Independence again. People, turn off the television, think for yourself, stand up.
