Congresswoman Michele Bachmann concerned about 2010 Census

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has been a tad concerned about responding to the 2010 Census. “If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps,” she told Fox News last month.…

Does Your Freedom Depend on Gold? By Adam Murdock, MD

Does Your Freedom Depend on Gold?

By Adam Murdock, MD

Published 06/24/09

Many believe, and rightly so, that gold has intrinsic value. As a result, gold served as the ultimate and most stable form of currency in the 19th century. A gold-backed U.S. dollar permitted unprecedented economic growth in the background of a relatively deflationary economy. However, despite the clear economic advantages to… Continue

Judge Napolitano's Notes on Czars

The Czars are Coming, the Czars are Here!

The czars are really presidential assistants, who may be hired without FBI background checks or Senate confirmations, and serve at the pleasure of the President. Because they work in the West Wing and directly for the President, they enjoy virtually total immunity from any accountability to the Congress. Supreme Court decisions even immunize them from replying to subpoenas from Congress for documents or testimony, under the claim of executive… Continue
