But it is a Ponzi scheme.
Gov. Rick Perry was right about Social Security. It is a “monstrous lie.”
Only not as monstrous as it used to be, because almost everybody has figured out the scam.

Do you know anyone under 40 who believes Social Security is going to be there for them? (more…)

Sarah Palin inspired her typical (yet extraordinary) level of excitement and attendance at our Tea Party Express V national bus tour rally in Manchester, NH. I overheard a national reporter commenting to two of our staff members, “Yeah, Palin draws a crowd but they are all missing teeth.”
I was furious! I wanted to say, “How dare you? You arrogant jerk!” I held my tongue as a representative of Tea Party Express.
After attending over 200 tea parties on six national bus tours, I can assure you the majority of the attendees are extremely well informed, educated, articulate and patriotic Americans. They are not stupid rednecks as the reporter’s comment implied. Unfortunately, the snobby reporter’s view of the tea party is shared by the liberal Obama sycophant media. (more…)

A man who was convinced the Twin Towers would be targeted in a terror attack led 2,700 people to safety from the World Trade Center before being killed when he went back in looking for stragglers.
Security chief Rick Rescorla carried out training drills with staff at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter to prepare them for a terror atrocity after realising the vulnerability of buildings to air terror attacks.
But after leading thousands to safety on 9/11 when his fears were realised, the 62-year-old Cornishman was last seen going back up the stairs of the South Tower before it collapsed. (more…)

On this tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, We The People of the USA thank you sincerely, O Canada, for your kindness and support of our brothers and sisters in their time of dire need.  From Whitehorse to Gander, your graciousness will never be forgotten.
GANDER, N.L. – Gander International Airport in Newfoundland was once a cosmopolitan crossroads where transatlantic flights carrying everyone from world leaders to Humphrey Bogart touched down to refuel.
Its modernist lounge with geometric flooring and sleek furniture is a trip back to 1959, when the Queen opened it as an avant-garde ode to the glamour of air travel.
But Gander’s global prominence faded when jumbo jets started criss-crossing the Atlantic non-stop. Traffic at the sprawling airfield — a former Second World War staging point — dwindled to cargo planes, military flights, emergency landings and the odd private jet.
Then 9-11 hit. (more…)

“Sept. 11 literally was just a normal day for us,”  says Col. Mark Tillman, remembering that morning.
Millions of Americans can say that. But only one can  say his job that day was flying the President of the United  States as the pilot of Air  Force One. Col. Tillman found out about 9/11 as many of us did, by watching  the news.
“The plane was getting ready to go and then when I  was actually on the aircraft, the radio operator called me and said ‘Hey you  need to come upstairs right away; take a good look what I have on the television  right now.'” (more…)
