POPSEnumerated Powers Act: Interview with Walter E. Williams
who has introduced it every Congress since 1995, it does not allow them to get away with the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause. They have to specifically point in the Constitution where they get the authority. And as a matter of fact the reason the Enumerated Powers Act’s maximum number of co-sponsors in the House has been 31, or it could be a bit higher than that (and it has never had a co-sponsor in the Senate until this year) is that the Congressmen can read the writing on the wall. If Congress were forced to obey the United States Constitution, then I would say that two-thirds to three-quarters of all the spending Congress does would be found to be unconstitutional. ALL RIGHT MAGAZINE: You’re probably right about that. Article 1, Section 8 has a very short list of things government is able to do according to the word of the law. WALTER E. WILLIAMS: That’s right, and if you read the Founders’ statements, they say that Congress can only do those things....

POPSStewart the most trusted newsman on TV This shows a lot about the intelligence of those who voted in the poll, as well as distrust towards MSM as a whole. Voters should have been asked if they actually knew the difference between a comedian and newscaster?

POPSJon Stewart: America's Most Trusted Newsman in Time Poll As Cronkite said, "And that's the way it is". The implications on the MSM are enormous. The poll is called unscientific, but yet the Time article link reveals results for every state. Couric should find another career. The MSM always seem to walk lockstep on the subject of war, usually in support, ever since Cronkite opposed Viet Nam. It is clear they have played a major role in propaganda.

POPSObama on His Socialized Medicine Plan, "Yes We Can" "While doctrinaire socialists might feel betrayed by liberalism's cozy embrace of big business, their betrayal pales in comparison to the bitterness of free-marketers who defend big business's freedom to operate, only to see these businesses use that freedom to hide behind the skirts of the nanny state. Real freedom means the freedom to fail as well as succeed. Big business wants to be protected from the former and deny competitors the latter. And their betrayal, more than anything, disheartens those who would defend both freedoms." --columnist Jonah Goldberg "We can debate endlessly whether the Constitution authorizes any president to 'overhaul' the financial system. But I want to focus on a different matter: whether any president, with all his advisers, is capable of overseeing something as complex as the financial system.

POPSEconomic Truth: Walter Williams & Thomas Sowell on Video The second video with Sowell/Rose which says image not available, is INCORRECT. click on video to play, also, it's a long version of my previous clipped youtube video. :D (Guilty: I must admit that I did have to smile when listening to Sowell's assessment of John McCain..). Meanwhile, the band played on on the deck of the Titanic... What was that word again? What is it 'the definition of' when one continues to try the same strategy multiple times, yet somehow expects a different result? ... Ah, yes. Insanity. DiscerningTexan, 2/09/2009

POPSThe Federal Leviathan and Its Founding Father History is context, and Big Government started here. This book unmasks the Federal Leviathan (both republican and democrat) that enslaves us from its source in Hamilton and the Federalists, which was greatly illustrated in particularly by the late reign of King George...Bush... and his invention of a Homeland Security government that seeks to supersede (federalize) state powers. (This will be Bush's legacy, the creation of a Monster Federal Government. This is what the Federalist Society, stacked with neo-republicans, is really all about). "DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: The American people are no longer the masters of their government but its servants." DiLorenzo unmasks Hamilton as good as he did in The Real Lincoln, "The Great Centralizer" (as Walter Williams refers to Lincoln). One book reviewer concludes with this about Hamilton: If only Aaron Burr's bullet could have spared the man but killed his wicked ideas!

POPS Evil Concealed By Money by Walter E. Williams The bottom line is that we've become a nation of thieves, a value rejected by our founders. James Madison, the father of our Constitution, was horrified when Congress appropriated $15,000 to help French refugees. He said, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." Tragically, today's Americans would run Madison out of town on a rail.

POPSThe voices in the wilderness While the inept press fawn over the words of a charlatan we should not forget that he said nothing profound. Mixed in his barrage of blame and support for hate was nothing new. The press describes this as a speech dignifying racial harmony? The call for racial harmony is empty when made with utter contempt for the feelings of all Americans while showing your support for a racist preacher with an ideology founded on racism called Black Liberation Theology. There are those speaking out. They have been speaking out for decades wihtout appealing to failure, blame, pity, and excuse-making. We should not forget them.

POPS Congressional and Leftist Lies According to The Harris Poll taken in June 2003, 51 percent of Democrats thought the tax cuts enacted by Congress were a bad thing while 16 percent of Republicans thought so. Among Democrats, 67 percent thought the tax cuts were unfair while 32 percent of Republicans thought so. When asked whether the $350 billion tax cut package will help your family finances, 59 percent of those surveyed said no and 35 percent said yes. Whether you're for or against President Bush matters little, but what do you think of politicians and their media dupes winning you over with lies about the rich not paying their fair share? And, by the way, $145,000 or even $345,000 a year hardly qualifies one as rich. It's not even yacht money. Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

POPSThe Tyranny of Zealots There's a Washington, D.C., organization, Center for Science in the Public Interest, that some call busybodies, but they are more accurately described as petty tyrants. They've made a list of foods you shouldn't eat. Among them are: Dove and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, Mrs. Field's cookies and McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. If they are successful, you shouldn't be surprised to see a ban on these and similar foods.
