The growing anger and boycotts are only going to grow regarding the TSA and Homeland Security's policy of body scan imaging. Lawsuits filed against the TSA are only growing, including one filed by EPIC, the Electronic Privacy Information Center. A growing number of Senators, privacy groups, and watchdogs like Ralph Nader continue to plea for the program to end and support EPIC and other motions for immediate stays.

Now I am sure this line is causing most of you to do a double take. Especially considering the current Speaker of the House has a 30% or less approval rating in some polling, and has carried the adjective "toxic" for the last nine months or more. Say what you may about Nancy Pelosi, but for her cause and her president, she has exceeded expectations.

It is time for her to move up in management and allow new leadership from the Democrats to try their hand in Co...

Upon exposure to the population the enormous amount of captial spent and required in order to win your vote and the office being sought, each side again chooses party lines rather than real change.

The victor will always quote the Constitution and the First Amednment right to free speech. Their claim is how dare you encroach of the voice and res...

Let's make the fire insightful.

November 2nd has come and gone, and like many elections before, we find ourselves exhausted from the increasing media play by play, campaign commercials, and press releases of change. The mandatory rounds of slaps on the back, and humble acceptance were completed over the weekend, and the slogans for January are being handed out as we speak. The great amnesic that is the holiday season is underway, hoping the wave of Republican ...

If anyone at all still doubts we live under the ruling class, start listening to the predicted winners.

"I am sure Americans and Tea Party members will understand if we are stonewalled and can't get things done, they will have to understand we will try to amend Obama Care's worst items, etc"

Yesterday they swore in battle cries "We will repeal Obama care at all cost!!"
