By Michael Why do so many Americans want us to become more like Nazi Germany? When I was growing up, I was taught that Nazi Germany was the antithesis of everything that America stood for. I truly believed that we were “the land of the free” and that we were a bright, shining example for the rest of the world.

Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a [...] Someone NEEDS to go to jail. * In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama * In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations – and not one single vote was recorded for Romney.

Yes, some of them are great, know exactly what they’re talking about, and realize that the electronic voting systems we use in this nation — every single one of them — are complete garbage. Last month, we reported on a recent Palm Beach County, FL, election in which the paper-ballot optical-scan system declared [...] Half a decade into the deepest U.S. housing crisis since the 1930s, many Americans are hoping the crisis is finally nearing its end.
