The famous French statesman and historian Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) traveled widely throughout America in the year 1832. Following this, he wrote extensively about what he saw and experienced here. Newspapers and writers across the continent printed articles about his written observations, and he developed quite a loyal following in the “American Republic” for decades.
Tocqueville wrote and lectured until his death in 1859 that “America is great, because America is good” – and warned: “when America ceases to be good, her greatness will dissolve as well.” He also warned repeatedly that the greatest danger to America was no external enemy; but would come from within, when “the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.” One of his most often repeated quotes was this related truth: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” read on

Recent terrorist events such as the attempted bomb attacks in New York’s Times Square and aboard an airliner on Christmas Day 2009 are reminders that national security challenges have expanded beyond the traditional threats of the Cold War Era to include unconventional threats from nonstate actors.
Today’s threats are diffuse and ambiguous, making it difficult — if not impossible — for any single federal agency to address them alone. Effective collaboration among multiple agencies and across federal, state, and local governments is critical. read on

Decades of national security secrecy, protecting the extent of our nuclear military power, evaporated in one statement: five thousand one hundred thirteen.
That’s the number of nuclear warheads Obama announced we possess in our arsenal – to encourage other countries such as Iran to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Shouldn’t our presidents be looking out for America’s best interests? read on

Sustainable Development also known as Smart Growth, Agenda 21, is a plan for the 21st century to remake human society into a collectivist image. It’s a United Nations’ plan to establish control of our country.
In 1992 George Bush signed an agreement in Rio, authorizing the administration to implement Agenda 21 and the Sustainable Development Commission (which established the framework to control all human activity and property in order to protect the environment). read on

“Exaggerated self-criticism would be a harmless luxury of civilization if there were no enemy at the gate condemning democracy’s very existence. But it becomes dangerous when it portrays its mortal enemy as always being in the right. Extravagant criticism is a good propaganda device in internal politics. But if it is repeated often enough, it is finally believed. And where will the citizens of democratic societies find reasons to resist the enemy outside if they are persuaded from childhood that their civilization is merely an accumulation of failures and a monstrous imposture?”

Florida’s Attorney General Bill McCollum had campaign stops in North West Florida this past week. I met him at one of them; an early morning breakfast at Lisa’s Café on Garden street in the heart of downtown Pensacola. McCollum had put Pensacola on the map when he and 12 other state Attorney Generals filed a constitutional matter here in the Federal District Court seeking to overturn the recently enacted national health care reform legislation. read on
