How Congress Occupied Wall Street: “Politicians who arrive in Washington as men and women of modest means leave as millionaires. Why?… I've learned from local, state and national political experience that the only solution to entrenched corruption is sudden and relentless reform. Sudden because our permanent political class is adept at changing the subject to divert the public's attention—and we can no longer afford to be indifferent to this system of graft when our country is going bankrupt. Reform must be relentless because fighting corruption is like a game of whack-a-mole. You knock it down in one area only to see it pop up in another.” ~ Sarah Palin [Ms. Palin’s underlined tip above is very important and timely! - JS]

The Next War: “The Obama administration tells us not to worry. It promises that cutting defense won't put us at risk and that a new round of United Nations sanctions will deter the ayatollahs' atomic aspirations. But to many of the veterans gathered here, it sounds more as if we're preparing to be unprepared for the next war”.
The Accountability Charade: “You can't spell "accountability" without "A," "C" and "T." But in Washington, government officials routinely get away with "taking personal responsibility" by mouthing empty words devoid of action. Heads nod in collective agreement that mistakes were made. But heads never roll. The Obama administration has raised this accountability charade to an art form”.
The GOP Leadership is once again caving in and moving the compromise line further left as they state more willingness to accept tax increases. Even more incredible is that they show their hand so willingly during negotiations. I wish they were at my poker table – if I had one! More at "Conservative Members" of Stupid Party Push Tax Increase” – JS
