WILLIAM SCHUH: POPULAR REVOLUTIONS - WHAT DO THEY REALLY MEAN FOR THE PEOPLE?

As the middle eastern world destabilizes in a rash of revolutionary movements many westerners find themselves scratching their heads trying to discern what the revolutions are about.  They appear to differ from country to country, tied only by a common element of dissatisfaction with the status quo.  Many attribute the beginnings of the Egyptian movement to poor economic conditions, high food prices and high unemployment.  Others revolutions appear to be motivated by a desire for democratic reform.  But we should all be cautioned that the cause of revolutions is often a very poor indicator of what the ultimate outcome will be.

DENNIS M. PATRICK: COMMUNISM ON THE HIGH PLAINS

If the ghosts of old Belden Hall could speak, what tales they would tell! The dilapidated wreck of a building belied its colorful, if checkered, past. Belden Hall, or what remained of it until recently, was a far cry from its heyday of the 1930s.

DR. TRACY C. MILLER: VOLCKER RULE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Why should banks be treated differently than other financial institutions? Financial intermediaries, including banks, take risks so that investors can earn higher returns on their money. Banks, however, differ from other financial intermediaries, such as mutual funds and brokers, in that deposit insurance makes it possible for them to guarantee that depositors won’t lose their money, regardless of how much risk the banks take.

SALLY MORRIS: WHAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT “FAST AND FURIOUS” AND WHAT WE DO KNOW ABOUT CONGRESS

Eric Holder serves at the President’s pleasure. It’s obviously his pleasure that Holder continue in authority. He has made no demand for an explanation from the Justice Department. It seems that it’s all okay with him. So, either the President is on board with Fast and Furious or thought it up himself, or he backs Holder, who either is the instigator or backs up the instigator. Now what more do we need to know here? The guns are used for illegal, deadly purposes, they are paid for through our taxes, no one in a position of responsibility has a problem with that.

SELWYN DUKE: THE UN-AMERICAN SIN OF PROPERTY TAXES

Ah, the old “where will the government get the money?” line.  Frankly, I don’t worry about such things because that should never be the first question when pondering tax issues.  It should be: where will the people get the money?  It is, after all, theirs, and isn’t this supposed to be a government of, by and for the people?

DENNIS M. PATRICK: VALERIE JARRETT—QUEENPIN

Here we are today with the godson of Frank Davis (Barack) and the daughter-in-law of Vernon Jarrett and granddaughter of Robert Taylor (Valerie), descendants of pro-Stalinists, occupying the White House. Being raised in a leftist environment, Jarrett’s is more a case of guilt by indoctrination than guilt by association. Amazingly, this escaped the dominant media’s examination.

DR. PAUL KENGOR: A DAD LIKE JACK - THE INFLUENCE OF RONALD REAGAN’S FATHER

Young Reagan stood over his father for a minute or two. He wanted to simply let himself in the door and pretend his dad wasn’t there. Instead, he grabbed a fistful of overcoat and heaved Jack to the bedroom, away from the weather’s harm and neighbors’ attention. He felt no resentment, just grief. This, after all, was the man who had always carried him.

DR. PAUL KENGOR: THE NATION’S TOP “PROGRESSIVES” … AND SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS

 

The Bolsheviks, explained Robeson, were new men. He was bowled over by the “feeling of safety and abundance and freedom” he found “wherever I turn.” He discovered sheer equality under Joseph Stalin.

When asked about Stalin’s purges, Robeson retorted: “From what I have already seen of the workings of the Soviet Government, I can only say that anybody who lifts his hand against it ought to be shot!”

LYNN BERGMAN: REVIEW OF “CIVILIZATION: IS THE WEST HISTORY?”

This documentary is highly recommended for anyone wishing to make some sense of the world around us. History is artfully employed to teach us how Western Civilization has advanced due to fundamental elements of societal success.

 

Ferguson’s essential elements of economic success are listed below:

 

Competition

Science

Medicine

Rule of Law & Property Rights

Consumerism

Work Ethic

 

If we look internally at what is currently happening in North Dakota, we see obvious strength in the areas of competition, science, medicine, rule of law, consumerism, and work ethic. If we have an Achilles heel in North Dakota, it is property rights. I implore the reader to try to formulate a solution as I outline the reasons for my concern in the area of property rights.

DR. PAUL KENGOR: CUBA BACKING GAY MARRIAGE?

The root of the answer, once again, is the Marxist/communist assault on marriage. Led either by the spirit of the times or by another spiritual force that has long led communists, the communist priority is not gay rights but a continued assault on the family.

VASKO KOHLMAYER: BEYOND THE TEMPORAL- GOD AND PURE EXISTENCE

This position is generally referred to as materialism. It rests on the presupposition that reality consists of only that which can be observed, conceptualized, measured and quantified. This view, however, fails to do full justice to the way we see the world function.

RUBEN LACKMAN: DAKOTA SPRING

Finally, Defense Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, REGRETS the “$860,000.00 cost to taxpayers for his weekend trips to his California home 27 times.”  When is the last time you heard of an enlisted soldier, during his/her deployment, getting trips home because it’s “important just to get your mind straight and your perspective straight.”  It’s a pity some of this “mind and perspective” straightness, was not reflected in his behavior.  Regrets?  Nathan Hale’s statement: “I REGRET that I have but one life to give for my country” still defines the highest and noblest example of integrity. I’m sure that Nathan Hale felt no regrets for his action.  And he did NOT say, as is taught now, “I regret that I have but one life to ‘Lose” for my country.

When President Obama uses his authority to shut down private business, in the form of the Keystone XL pipeline, he (it is estimated) has cost ND people around $573 million since January. In our area, many of the mineral lease offers have evaporated, and that is money that can never be recaptured. All because one guy thinks he knows more than the rest of us.

DENNIS M. PATRICK: RANDOM THOUGHTS AND STRAY VOLTAGE

It’s back. The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) is a United Nations “law” that would tax US-based interests. This is the same treaty that President Ronald Reagan refused to sign many years ago. Today, some in the US Senate, Democrats in particular, want to say “yes” to this international tax. We know all about the unsustainable debt our government incurred and the recurring effort to raise the debt ceiling again and again in order to spend even more money. With our economy going south fast, some Senate nitwits nevertheless want to redistribute American wealth internationally. Give me a break.

DENNIS STILLINGS: A THEATER REVIEW - THE NOT-SO-TRUTHSOME TWOSOME

 

Yes, the legislature loves to dish out tax relief at opportune times, a small enough gesture to fend off popular demands for a serious reckoning. To do this now and then serves their political purposes. Like the federal income tax, property tax is a tool for political manipulation. It is a device for government intrusion into the private sector, picking winners and losers at the taxpayers’ expense. We see how well that works on the national level! Wouldn’t we all like to gamble with huge amounts of other people’s money and reward friends? The property tax has been “fixed” 135 times since 1981 and is still one big lemon for us all to suck on.

TOM FREIER: MEASURE 3 - RESTORING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Our Founding Fathers had firsthand experience in dealing with hardships associated with religious freedom and the lack thereof. It was so important that the very first amendment in the Bill of Rights protected our religious liberties. Today not much has changed in regard to the threats to our religious freedoms, and the very same protection is needed.

KYLE LATHAM: BRITAIN, “AUSTERITY,” AND THE LESSONS OF ECONOMIC HISTORY

Despite the fact that President Hoover increased government spending and debt, his approach was labeled “free market.” The exact opposite is true. When running against Franklin Roosevelt, Hoover actually argued that Roosevelt would make things worse by lowering taxes and decreasing spending. Roosevelt responded by accusing Hoover’s administration of being a profligate spender.

DENNIS M. PATRICK: THREE CHEERS FOR PARTISANSHIP

Voters don’t necessarily elect candidates to “get things done.” “Getting things done” is clichéd rhetoric; it is more of a problem than a solution. Elected officials keep “getting things done” at voters‘ expense. Whether for appearance sake or to buy votes by bringing home the bacon, “getting things done” is one of the reasons we’re in the sorry economic quandary we find ourselves today. Americans are never safer than when congress is in recess.
