Lincoln stated the following at his Gettysburg address:
“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
The arrogance shown here by a Congress which is out of control will not soon be forgotten. There is no respect of the people by these fools who have bankrupted our country. For the record, Alaskan Rep. Don Young is a Republican who has been investigated for corruption.

My blood boils every time I watch this. I would say that something should be done about it, but Young has been in office for 38 years. Even if he is removed from office he still gets the pension, etc. He is just one example of the corruption and arrogance running rampant in our elected officials. Usually when faced with an overwhelming project it is best to break it down into smaller goals but trying to go after one or two corrupt politicians at a time every election is not going to get us anywhere. There are too many of them and not enough time. We have got to find a way to get term limits implemented. It won’t fix the problem but it might limit the damage.
I say all of this knowing in my heart it is too late but maybe when patriots rebuild this nation one day, they will remember to implement term limits.
My blood boiled every time I watched this video also. I doubt that anyone watched it just once. The Congressional arrogance was not limited to Young. Although we believe Congress works for the people (we pay their salaries and benefits), they certainly do not believe this.
Their arrogance knows no bounds. The congressman certainly didn’t want to let Mr. “Rice” Brinkley finish his statement about who pays his salary. “Foo pas” Geez, do they even have command of the language? It’s faux pas — dummy! Maybe, they should stop having these stupid things where they “invite” businesspeople to come before them and be humiliated. Who would willingly want to do that?
I don’t know anything about Rep. Young, but I DO know this…Douglas Brinkley is a classic example of the leftists who have infiltrated academia and helped lead the charge in leftist indoctrination. While he may not have participated in bombings like Bill Ayers -- he’s right up there with him, distorting American history every chance he gets.
