Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor asin: 0743201299 binding: Paperback list price: $17.00 USD amazon price: $18.70 USD

After years of wondering, many Americans are finally beginning to get a better idea of why the Japanese government attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941.

Many people suspected that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt not only maneuvered the United States into a position in which the Japanese military would initiate an attack, he might have known the general time and place of the attack.

Stinnet's book takes a close look at this, using new information only accessable after great effort to open previously sealed US documents.

It is an essential revision of the

Chris Edwards, Director of Tax Policy Studies for the Cato Institute (www.cato.org) has produced one of the most impressive books this year to expose the backwards economics of politically driven government redistribution of wealth. Not only does he cite cases of government waste, department by department, he also provides suggestions to decrease the burden of government on the productive economy it always impedes.

Look for this book, read about it, and get it if you have a chance. You will not be sorry. In fact, buy it for a friend, you'll be an even better one!

In a new report, the Cato Institute notes that President George W. Bush has outspent every President of the past forty years.

On Monday, Steve Slivinski, Director of Policy Analysis for Cato (www.CATO.ORG), spoke about this not-surprising, but nonetheless troubling revelation. The forum was "Against the Grain", on WNTK and WUVR, in NH.

The "Herald News Daily", which publishes in North and South Dakota, is reporting that the $286.4 billion highway transportation bill signed into law by the supposedly conservative George Bush will not be enough to keep the Federal Highway Trust Fund from going broke in 2008.

In a report commissioned by the US Chamber of Commerce, the panel "concluded revenues from all levels of government will fall $500 billion short of what is needed just to maintain pavement and bridge conditions and traffic levels through 2015, and $1.1 trillion short of what is needed to improve the nation‘s infrastructure."

Bush's trip to Asia:

President George Bush's trip to Japan, China and South Korea ends today with a whimper, rather than a policy bang. He went to Japan to try to convince the Japanese government to lift blocks against US beef (can you say, misplaced Japanese government fears of Mad Cow Disease?). He did not get the concession. He went to South Korea to highlight our alliance... And the South Korean government anounced that it was going to pull out its troops from Iraq. He went to China to promote freedom and to argue for the increased higher valuation of the Yuan relative to the Dollar, but two days before his arrival, innocent civilians were apprehended for the unspeakable crimes of "printing Bibles". In addition, the Chinese seem reluctant to let their Yuan rise in comparison to the Dollar at any faster rate than is already being allowed as a concession to the US.

As reported by the NH "Union Leader", Second District Congressman Charles "Three Terms" Bass announced in more than one medium that he is interested in seeing a change in House Leadership. According to Bass, the Republicans have lost their way, and they need to return to their principles. Pork spending is worrisome to Bass -- this coming from the man who announced with Jeb Bradley a few days prior that he was proud to bring NH another $250,000 from the Federal government to be spent on NH Juvenile Justice programs.

After breaking promises such as a vow to leave office after three terms, to cut federal spending, and to promote tax cuts, Bass now tells the Republicans that THEY need to return to their principles. What are those principles? Bass wants to be able to work with Democrats more often, he feels that the party is too conservative.

As reported here earlier on November 15, Michael Newdow, the California man who once sued to prevent his school district from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in classes, is moving forward with a lawsuit designed to prevent the US Treasury from printing "In God We Trust" on United States coins and paper currency.

There are a number of important threads to follow in this story, the first of which is the First Amendment of the US Constitution. It is often said that the First Amendment forbids government on any level from not only establishing a religion, but involving itself in state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded religious observances of any kind. Historically, this is not the case. In fact, during the hot summer of 1787, when the Founding Fathers were at an impasse while arguing over the wording of the Constitution (which was being designed to replace the Articles fo Confederation, our original set of government rules), it was none other than Benjamin Franklin who suggested that the delegates pause, and pray to God. Many observers said this was the breakthrough moment for the convention.

Michael Newdow, the man who sued his California school district over the recitation of the Pledge of Allegience and its use of the term "under God", has now moved ahead with a new lawsuit. This time, he wants "In God We Trust" stricken off our government-minted and printed money. (for story and further reference)

There is also a larger written piece posted delving into the ethical and constitutional implications of this lawsuit.
