President Obama got his precious tax hikes on the rich. In fact, tax revenues are surging, and the rich are paying a greater share of tax revenues than ever before. So why is the federal government running trillion dollar annual deficits?

Will our children live under the rule of law or the law of rulers? Or will they live in a world without the rule of law (WROL)? The answer will be determined by our actions. If our actions are based on founding principles, morality and virtue, our representative Republic may be reborn. This will require Sacred honor and great sacrifice.
Most people do not understand the importance of the rule of law and its rule in securing Liberty. When was the last time you heard a conversation where the rule of law versus the rule of man was the main topic? Do we have the rule of law or the rule of man in our country? The answer is that we have become a nation under the rule of man where a two tiered justice system has replaced the rule of law.
Madison’s point in Federalist Paper 51 addresses the need to guard against the oppression of its rulers and the rights of the minority:
It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different interests necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure.
It is interesting that Madison made one statement to include the oppression of rulers and the rights of the minority. Once vain and aspiring men took control of the highest offices of our land, the separation of powers in Washington became moot. As did the rights of the minority: people working in the private sector supporting a bloated government and a non-working, entitlement class.
The actions of the people will dictate our future. These actions will be discussed further in the next two months leading up to the PATCON Muster on May 5, 2013.

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has ended his filibuster after nearly 13 hours. Paul was blocking the Senate confirmation vote of John Brennan, President Obama’s pick to head the CIA, due to his concerns about unmanned drones.

From the Bill of Rights
The Fifth Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In official testimony before Congress in December 1912, just three months before his death, J.P. Morgan stated quite plainly:
“[Credit] is not the money itself. Money is gold, and nothing else.”
…
Governments, especially the bankrupt insolvent ones, have a long history of theft, deceit, and plunder. As we have discussed so many times before, confiscation and/or criminalization of gold is not exactly a zero-risk prospect.
So while it’s critical to own gold, it’s equally important to store it abroad in a safe, stable jurisdiction outside of your home country.

Liberals and conservatives believe in compassion. So why do conservatives seem unable to craft a compassionate message? Have Republicans adopted esoteric policies that help the rich and forget the plight of families and the middle class? Has the GOP lost sight of basic values like liberty?

The Barack Obama Academy, located in Pittsburgh PA, is a school with socialist roots. This academy is an IB school, or an International Baccalaureate school, which has been recognized as a NGO partner of UNESCO since 1970.
The International Bureau of Education (IBE) may also be inserting its freedom-killing agenda into your child’s school without your knowing it.
The IBE is part of the UNESCO (U.N.) organization and was founded at the International School in Geneva by educators and officials of the League of Nations, which was the forerunner to the U.N. Adolph Ferrière (1879 – 1960), who was an integral part of foundation of the International School, is considered by some as a father of progressive education. From a biography on Ferrière on the IBE website:
To combat the law of survival of the fittest which results from capitalism, he (Adolph Ferrière) suggested a counterbalancing force of co-operatives of producers and consumers, of which he was a fervent supporter. Only ‘scientific sociology’, in the hands of skilled and trained experts, could enable the will of the State to coincide with the fulfilment of the will of the people through a dirigisme combining the same mixture of ‘science and common sense’ that Ferrière recommended in education.
I have to admit that I had to look up the meaning of “dirigsme” used in the above reference. The definition is quite telling.
From Bing :
Definition of dirigisme (n) di·ri·gis·me government control: full and direct government control of a country’s economy and social institutions

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT TO AMEND THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION TO RESTRICT THE LIMITATIONS THAT MAY BE PLACED ON A PERSON WHO HOLDS A CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT.
Among many beneficial provisions, the bill includes the following:
(3) In accordance with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and this Section, the State shall never engage in a general confiscation of the weapons of its citizens and shall never cooperate in the effort of any other entity to do so.”
At one point during his program, the host got down on his hands and knees on the floor of his Texas studio with a U.S. flag, as if he were trying to rescue a dying Lady Liberty.
“America is hemorrhaging. And some of us have seen the hemorrhaging,” he said. “And we grab a coat or a blanket and we’re down on, and we’re on the ground, and what do you do? Every time you push something onto the wound to stop the bleeding,” he said, acting like he was applying pressure to a bleeding patient.
“If you’ve seen this in a movie, where there’s a body bleeding to death, what do they do? They’re like gurgling. That’s what America’s doing right now! She’s down on the ground, she gurgling, we’ve got our hand on the wound, some of us!” he exclaimed, continuing to act out the rescue scene: “Stay with me. Talk to me. Don’t close your eyes; don’t go to sleep. Wake up! Stay with me!”
“When it gets to that part of the movie, that person usually dies,” he said. “Their eyes are rolling in the back of their heads. In our case, Lady Liberty in critical condition. But it doesn’t have to end that way.”

Project Veritas visited police stations nationwide and asked law enforcement officials how they could protect themselves in the event of an armed break-in. “Go get some bleach. Go get ammonia,” one officer instructed. Yet another officer instructed the undercover journalist to, “lock yourself in a bedroom” and “start yelling and screaming.”
Vice President Joe Biden recently advised Americans to, “get a shotgun” for home protection. But when asked whether or not they should follow the Vice President’s advice, law enforcement officials told the undercover journalists they would be arrested for doing so.

Economist Herb Stein famously said that something that can’t go on forever, won’t. For decades now, America has been putting ever-growing amounts of money into its K-12 education system, while getting steadily poorer results. Now parents are losing faith in public schools, new alternatives are appearing, and change is on the way.

In prepared remarks, Holder tells the Senate Judiciary Committee that Congress should eliminate what he called misguided restrictions requiring federal agents to allow older weapons to be imported into the United States.
The attorney general also urged senators to confirm a new director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The agency has been without a Senate-confirmed leader for six years. ATF has been mired in a long-running controversy stemming from a botched gun smuggling investigation in Arizona. ATF agents lost track of about 1,400 of more than 2,000 illicitly acquired weapons in the operation.

If Congress and the president would do one of their few responsibilities outlined in the Constitution and pass a budget, there would be no need for yet another continuing resolution. But what is another $982 billion when the last crisis was over only $85 billion for sequestration?
There are two amazing points to be considered:
1. This is more than the entire US budget just 50 years ago:
2. No one cares. It may be that the American people have come to the inevitable conclusion that there is nothing we can do to prevent the economic collapse and devaluation of the US federal reserve note. Or they may have come to the conclusion that all politicians in Washington are complicit in this dereliction of duty.
