Real American Truth And The Ongoing Failures Of Science

My Local News: WYFF channel 4, Greenville, SC.

While watching the local news on NBC affiliate WYFF News Channel 4 this evening, I sat glued to yet another report about the ever-increasing causes of Skin Cancer. However, what made this particular segment interesting was the newest cause being now reported by our "All-Knowing" scientific community. If we are to actually [now] believe them, then too much Sun Block [or Sun Screen] is leading to a dramatic increase in new cases of Skin Cancer! What, the heck, are they talking about?

For decades now, these very same scientists have been claiming that Skin Cancer is on the increase, due to: "Holes In The Ozone Layer," "Increasing Sun Spot Activity," and even "Global Warming." They have been filling our heads with constant bombardments about the importance of skin creams, sunblocks, and sunscreens. They have promoted these highly expensive products so well, that most of us wouldn't walk to the outhouse without religiously applying them. And their "Solar Doomsday" prognostications have formed the basis for one of America's greatest cottage industries.

A self-explanatory Sunblock cartoon.

Freedom From Offense And The Islamic Mosque Controversy

Site of the proposed Mosque in lower Manhattan.

I had hoped to avoid writing about the Islamic Mosque Controversy, raging over Manhattan, New York's business district... I honestly did! To my way of thinking, the numerous Constitutional Issues involved - such as: Property Rights, Religious Freedom, and others - ended the debate long before it even really started. Personally, I wouldn't surrender my Constitutionally Guaranteed Freedoms and Rights, even if ninety-nine percent of Americans were offended to the point of forming a lynch mob!

Does that, sound crazy? Well, it shouldn't. Our enlightened ancestors never intended for themselves, or even their far distant posterity, an all encompassing "Freedom From Offense!" They, at least, were smart enough to recognize that, a governmentally mandated Freedom From Offense would inherently abrogate and/or circumvent every other Freedom and/or Right - that they had hoped to perpetually establish. Just stop for a solitary moment and think about what it is, that many are honestly asking.... Everything humanly possible, on an Individual and Personal Level, actually offends someone. Can you name any one Constitutional Freedom, or Lawfully Guaranteed Right, that doesn't?

Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff Says USA Is Essentially Bankrupt

Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff from Boston University.

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Professor of Economics at Boston University, recently made the following statement in the editorial section of Bloomberg News:

"Let’s get real. The U.S. is bankrupt. Neither spending more nor taxing less will help the country pay its bills. What it can and must do is radically simplify its tax, health-care, retirement and financial systems, each of which is a complete mess. But this is the good news. It means they can each be redesigned to achieve their legitimate purposes at much lower cost and, in the process, revitalize the economy."

The article to which I am now referring was entitled: "U.S. Is Bankrupt and We Don't Even Know It," and it went into great detail regarding our current national predicament. Nor, did he make such dire statements without providing substantial evidence for openly doing so. For instance, Professor Kotlikoff pointed out the International Monetary Fund's own recent annual review of United States economic policy - which essentially pronounced America bankrupt and noted that our Federal Government would have to double our various rates of: Personal, Income, and Corporate Taxation, in order to achieve a sustainable financial balance.

Enumerated Powers Act Is Common Sense Accountability For Congress

Representative John Shadegg (R-Arizona) has good idea....

Republican Congressman John Shadegg, from Arizona, is calling for public support of H. R. 450 - known as The Enumerated Powers Act - which will [if passed] force Congress to show specific Constitutional Authority for each new piece of Federal Legislation, prior to its legislative adoption. Although congressman Shadegg claims that his bill: "Will force the Congress to reexamine the role of national government" - it may in reality [at least] slow the process by which they are systematically dismantling our once great nation.

*** The following video - in congressman Shadegg's own words - explains H. R. 450 in more detail....

The Enumerated Powers Act [H.R. 450] proposed by Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona.

Every member of Congress - in both: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate - has sworn an oath, "To Uphold And Protect The United States Constitution." Considering that supposedly heartfelt oath, we should be able to expect a unanimous "Yes Vote" on this particular piece of legislation from both of these political parties... and yet, it has been introduced repeatedly since 1994 - without any apparent political successes. It's almost enough to make one seriously question their political sincerity - in the first place. Very strange behavior, indeed, isn't it?

Egberto Willies Calls For "National Socialization" Of American Economy

E. Willies blogger

Egberto Willies, in his most recent posting, has called for our Federal Government to finally be open and honest with the American people - regarding our dire economic situation. This is a political position, which all truly informed Americans should equally share. The Real American Truth is currently needed, concerning a whole host of very important political matters. However, Willies then goes on about utilizing our government to solve this ongoing crisis - through a massive Keynesian Economic Expansion, or "National Socialization" - without any actual consideration of the consequences involved.

Propostion 8: The Growing Gay Marriage Debate

America's growing divide over what constitutes "Marriage."

With the passage of Proposition 8 in California, I avoided commenting about it - knowing full well, that the Modern Liberal Justices in the State of California wouldn't allow this political referendum to go into effect unopposed. My own personal thinking was that I should wait until their inevitable State judicial ruling about Proposition 8 to respond. No one expected the ruling to be otherwise than it factually has occurred, and had it actually been so, I could [for once] relate some encouraging political news. Either way, it would be the opportune time to post a Real American Truth commentary upon what constitutes "Marriage" - from a: Social, Religious, and/or State perspective.

Well, the California Court has finally rendered its decision, and I thought I'd read a few other American's postings online - to see what they themselves had to say - before, at last, putting my fingers to the keys.... However, after reading the following article on: Prop 8/Marriage/Gay And Lesbian Equality - I decided to simply post a link to this other blogger's page, and move on. I [honestly] couldn't have written a better article myself, and the inherent logic is impeccable. Bravo to Vulcan 420, for his posting on the California Marriage Debate!

• So What About That Prop 8, Or What Is Marriage

Modern Democratic-Republicans?

The Peace Dollar - A Two Headed Silver Coin....

Undoubtedly, at one time or another, you have heard some of your fellow American citizens refer to the Modern Democrats and their Modern Republican brothers as: "A Two Headed Dollar," "Opposite Sides Of The Very Same Coin," "The Two Faces Of One Political Party,"or [even] "The Lesser Of Two Equivalent Evils." You might not exactly understand to what particular aspects of these parties they actually refer, but - at the same time - you probably notice that something is definitely wrong. Often, in politics, a knowledge of history is the KEY to unlocking much greater political understanding... and this is [precisely] one of those times.

Thanks to our ongoing societal failure to more properly educate our children into American History, the average modern day citizen doesn't even realize that The Democrats and Republicans were once merely the two extremist ends of the same political party. The Democratic-Republicans were once a: richly historic, reasonably well balanced, and culturally vibrant political party - whose predominantly "middle of the road" membership valued both Individual Liberties and the Principles Of Conservatism which largely protected them. In those days, to be both: Liberal and Conservative wasn't considered in the least bit strange, or odd.
