By Art Hyland It’s starting. Well, it’s been predicted, but what’s beginning is something even America’s low-informed might notice but only when in front of their collective faces. Banks in southern Europe are beginning to restrict access to bank accounts. That this phenomenon will make its way across the pond is Continue reading A Lesson about Eggshells 
By Art Hyland THIS HEADLINE AND ITS LIST OF FACTS HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS ON THE INTERNET FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS. I CANNOT FIND ITS ORIGINAL SOURCE. IT HAS NOW BECOME A GENERIC UNDERSTANDING BY THE OCCUPY WALL STREET CROWD. AND THEY’RE OKAY WITH IT. Body count: In the last six months 500 Continue reading Should the U.S. pull out of Chicago? 
By Art Hyland Although wars have produced marvelous inventions by which to win battles, technical, mechanical and human progress expands exponentially when given the freedoms brought about by the maintenance of peace through strength. Peace provides this success only when it is felt to be reasonably long in expected duration. Although tyranny can Continue reading Dreams From Our Fathers: Obama Resigns 
By Art Hyland One wonders. Well, I wonder, anyway. Did Mr.Harry Reid buy any Christmas gifts this past season? Has Mr. Reid reviewed his own bank accounts, wherever they are, decided to make any new investments recently, or perhaps reviewed any trusts he or his family have established? Do you suppose he compared Continue reading Behind Harry Reid: Les Irresponsibles 
By Art Hyland The 2012 presidential election victory (by fact, by fraud, or by both) will be America’s decision of the current millennium. The nation is now divided. Not between or among the classes promoted by the Democrats who have routinely sorted groups by race, income, wealth, digital access, and a thousand other Continue reading Welcome to the Catacombs 
By Art Hyland “…Barack Obama loves the future because that’s where all his accomplishments are.” The more things change, the more they stay the same.

by Jim Welsh Thursday, September 27, 2012 (Editor’s note: Jim Welsh, who wrote WE are Building it, Mr. President, is running for state representative in a remote district on the coast of northwest Oregon. It’s a pure grassroots campaign, with lots of personal contact. He writes a column in MooCountyNews from which this is excerpted. Recently he noticed the first election flyer mailed by his incumbent opponent. But he also noticed something else.) “That election flyer wasn’t really an election flyer. No, it was just a “routine” official newsletter from the Office of Oregon State Representative Deborah (“Deb”) Boone that was just coincidentally mailed out six weeks before your ballots arrive to your mail box.

The only way to attack Romney/Ryan is Continue reading Republican Convention 2012: Truth vs. Fiction
