-14 year old conservative on Cavuto

Something about this kid just drives me up the wall and makes me uncomfortable. I have a feeling I won't be alone in this. Maybe it's because his mannerisms seem to belong on a forty year old, or maybe it's the annoying laugh. Or maybe I'm just jealous. In any case, this 14 year old Jonathan Krohn was on Neil Cavuto yesterday, and he really knows his stuff. He's none to happy about Jeb Bush's statement about "moving away from the nostalgia of Reagan." Take a look.

-Quotes of the Day

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-Ronald Reagan

"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."
-Ronald Reagan

Reagan showed an appreciation and an understanding of freedom and what it meant to be free that is not often seen anymore. We are headed down a road that is contradictory to the values of capitalism, freedom of speech, liberty, and the right to bear arms. The scary part about all this is, there are a lot of people out therethat do not see why this is not good, a lot of people that don't understand why a socialist system does not work. When you begin handing people everything, where is the incentive to work? To contribute the society held so dear? Why should the small business owner who has worked his entire life to achieve his dream of owning his own business be forced to sacrifice what he has earned in order to give someone who has been down on his luck an opportunity? At that point, where is the incentive to keep working hard, providing jobs, and contributing to the economy?

On the surface the ideological and fiscal values of socialism seem unselfish and seem to benefit all. However a deeper study of it shows that it just does not work. This applies to Communism as well. The system's simplest flaw is that human nature does not allow for it. There will always be people who want others to do all the work, and there will then be those who do not want to provide for the lazy. When you begin taking away the freedoms of some for the benefit of undeserving and those who have not earned it is when a democratic nation, built on freedom and liberty, becomes another European socialistic country with restrictions on rights, restrictions on creativity, and a penchant to look to others when in need instead of looking within.

-CNN's Roesgen demonstrates liberal bias while in the field.

Here's something else most people haven't seen. This demonstrates the liberal media bias that is so prevalent and is often denied. The following exchange might even surprise you.


"Do you realize that the State of Lincoln gets 50 billion dollars out of this stimulus? That's fifty billion dollars for this state sir."

She doesn't get it! That's precisely the reason that people like this man attended these protests. Liberals like CNN's Susan Roesgen don't understand. We don't want a handout. We don't want to be held accountable to such an extent, whether it be as companies, as individuals, or as states, to a government and government members that cannot even pay their own taxes! We know the truth about how this bailout money is spent and we don't want it. Governments don't know how to be productive. They have an extremely poor operating structure. If our government ran Toyota or Apple, very productive companies, they would be begging for a bailout from higher ups.
