The poverty rate for elderly persons pre social security in America was around 35-40% and after decades of decline usually floats between 8-10% today. Take away social security and you would almost instantly put those numbers back to 35-40%, millions of people. That's success.

About burning the US Flag, from the Washington Post Opinion Page. article "Five Myths about the American Flag": 4. It is illegal to burn the American flag. It was illegal until 1989, when the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in Texas v. Johnson that burning the flag is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. The case involved Gregory Lee Johnson, a member of the Revolutionary Comm...unist Youth Brigade, who had burned the flag during a protest at the 1984 Republican National Convention. He was convicted of violating Texas’s flag-desecration law, fined $2,000 and sentenced to a year in jail. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that Johnson was exercising his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court’s decision invalidated a 1968 national flag-desecration law, as well as similar laws in 48 states (all except Wyoming and Alaska). In response, Congress passed the Flag Protection Act, but that law was also challenged and wound up in the Su ...

FRANKLIN COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rising Republican Star to Speak in Pasco (Pasco, Wash.) -- Mia Love, nationally recognized conservative and mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah will keynote the Franklin County Republican’s Lincoln Day Dinner on Friday, March 22 at the Pasco Red Lion hotel. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. to parents of Haitian descent, Love is known for her enthusiastic defense of conservative principles, family values, and the Bill of Rights. As mayor of one of Utah’s fastest growing cities, and candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, Love gave a powerful speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. Her remarks focused on the need for individual responsibility and self-reliance, and the importance of unity across all gender, social, and economic lines. “We are delighted to have Mia as our keynote speaker. Her respectful, yet unapologetic defense of honest conservative values is absolutely consistent with the leadership displayed by . ...
CHRIS CHRISTIE SNUBBED BY CPAC - Though if there were ever a politician who could crash a political conference, shove the speaker off the stage and berate everyone in attendance... and not have his reputation change one bit, it'd be Chris Christie. NBC News: "At least eight potential presidential contenders will be speaking at CPAC: Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania... One potential 2016 hopeful who won't be there, however -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Despite being the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention and having a sky-high approval rating in the Garden State, CPAC officials told First Read Christie was not invited. Christie rankled some on the right with his public support for President Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy in the weeks leading up to the 2012 election." ...
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who angered some fellow Republicans with his public praise of President Obama’s handling of Superstorm Sandy just days before the November election, appears to have been snubbed by this year’s Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) gathering. Despite being chosen to deliver the keynote speech at last year’s Republican National Convention, CPAC officials chose not to invite the popular governor to this year’s three day event, which starts on March 14 near Washington, D.C., according to NBC News. Meanwhile, the American Conservative Union, which sponsors the event, announced on Monday that Texas Gov. Rick Perry will be among the featured speakers at the *** National Resort and Convention Center. Editor's Note: 5 Signs Stock Market Will Collapse in 2013 “Governor Rick Perry has been successful in leading Texas with strong fiscally conservative policies,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “We look forward to welcoming Governor Perry back to the CPAC stage ...

George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin Chapter -XX- The Phony War on Drugs Tout le monde me prend pour un homme de bien; Mais la verite pure est que je ne vaux rien. Moliere, Le Tartuffe An indispensable component of the mythical media profile which George Bush has built up over the years to buttress his electoral aspirations has been his role as an anti-drug fighter. His first formally scheduled prime time presidential television address to the nation in September, 1989 was devoted to announcing his plans for measures to combat the illegal narcotics that continued to inundate the sreets of the United States. During his 1988 election campaign, Bush pointed with astounding complacency to his record as President Reagan's designated point man in the administration's war on drugs. In his acceptance speech to the Republican National Convention in 1988, Bush stated: "I want a drug-free America. Tonight, I challenge the young people of our country to shut down the drug ...
February is back history month! Let's look at some black history shall we? 88% of African Americans vote Democrat. Slaves were freed by Abraham Lincoln (Republican). Blacks were given the right to vote by Abraham Lincoln (Republican). The confederacy president was Jefferson Davis (Democrat). Jefferson Davis (Democrat) ultimately lost his US citizenship over the civil war. He was given it back post-humously by president Jimmy Carter (Democrat). Blacks could attend the Republican National Convention in 1888. They were not allowed to attend the Democratic National Convention until 1924. Blacks in the south were subjected to Jim Crow Laws and not allowed to vote due to politicians in the south (Democrats known as Dixiecrats). The Civil Rights Act of 1964 could have been passed without a single Republican vote because there were 67 democrats in the senate (60 needed for passage) and 248 democrats in the house (216 needed for passage). However, if a majority of Republicans had not voted for the Civi ...

USA - Homophobia in GOP makes it hard for party to compete nationally (Peter Beinart) There’s nothing cooler in today’s overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly Anglo Republican Party than being neither. For its State of the Union rebuttal, the GOP tapped Cuban-American Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Rubio had already introduced Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention, while Puerto Rican first lady Lucé Vela Fortuño introduced Romney’s wife, Ann. When a Senate seat opened up in South Carolina last December, party elders chose African-American Rep. Tim Scott. And Republicans have just founded a new organization to groom minorities in the party. The GOP will never rebound, explains the group’s chairman, African-American former Republican congressman J.C. Watts, “until you get people that look like me in the trenches.” Republicans probably overestimate the traction they’ll get from changing the color and accents of their pitchmen. There’s something deeply patronizing about the GOP’s assu ...
With the recent Republican National Convention out of the way, and its Democratic counterpart underway, it behooves us to cast our minds back to previous administrations of both stripes.   Did you notice that no previous Republican president spoke at the RNC? They had a couple of Georges to choose from, both H.W. Bush and W. If the Repubs were so proud of what they had “built” during their heroes' administrations, why not bring one of them forward to tout how great they were? I mean, there were videos of George 1 and George 2, although 1 did most of the talking. And, their fair ladies also made video appearances. But, no talk of all they had accomplished from 1988 to 1992, and from 2000 to 2008. Why? Perhaps because both Georges are war criminals. Do you think that might be why? Just recently, on Sept. 2, 2012, South African Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu called for George W. Bush and his British counterpart ex-prime minister Tony Blair to be tried for war crimes at the Int ...
CNN) - Clint Eastwood isn't pleased with the job Congress is doing. "It's almost like they don't give a *** " he said Friday in an interview with CNBC. "So if they don't give a *** why do they expect anybody else to?" And he's not the only one. A CNN poll conducted last month found only 21% approved of how Congress is handling its job. That survey was taken fresh on the heels of the fiscal cliff standoff, where bickering between the parties sent the U.S. over the so-called fiscal cliff, although only briefly. Some would say conditions on Capitol Hill hasn't improved much since, especially as lawmakers find themselves in gridlock ahead of future financial battles, such as the sequester deadline next month and the debt limit by May. Congress also has immigration and gun violence legislation in the pipeline, and a number of Cabinet nominations to consider. But Eastwood, who endorsed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and drew attention for a rambling address at the Republican National Convention this su .. ...

Republicans are cooling toward tea-party activists White House It was predicted. Many times. Scott Powers writes (past seven months have not been kind to the movement that once was seen as a fresh base of ideas and volunteers for Republicans. It was all but shunned at August’s Republican National Convention — and by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And it’s been increasingly marginalized by key Republicans since the Nov. 6 general election returned President Barack Obama to the White House and brought down numerous tea-party-backed congressional candidates, such as U.S. Rep. Allen West of Plantation and, locally, Todd Long. The cruelest blow may have come from Gov. Rick Scott, who in 2011 unveiled a budget featuring nearly $4 billion in cuts — $1.5 billion to education alone — to fervent tea-party applause in Eustis and The Villages. This year, Scott is asking for a $74.2 billion budget — a 6 percent increase — that includes raises for teachers, bonuses for state employees and in ...
