Rattrap’ Rants welcomes bloodboughtpatriot as an editor to the blog. We look forward to insightful articles from him in the near future. In the meantime check out an article he wrote on the 5th anniversary of the Sept 11 Terrorist attacks here.
Market forces will deliver a better product than a government monopoly. We need to take the control of the education of our kids away from the government, and place it in our own hands. This will create a marketplace where we as consumers of the product (our kids education) choose where we are going to spend our education dollars. The poorly managed school systems will fail and the well managed systems, which provide a superior product, at a better price will thrive. A couple of articles discussing privatization here and here.
Americans are having an identity crisis. In the coming weeks I plan on posting why this is so, how we can turn it around, and showcase people who exemplify the American identity as it was, and as should be.
We Americans have lost a generation, and the Christian Community is to blame!
– Judgment begins in the House of God - I Peter 4:17
For 40 years the Christian majority in this country has sat back and done nothing while the liberals and the left have killed 45 Million people. Abortion has cost the US 45 Million citizens, 45 Million lives, which could be defending our country, our borders, our language and our culture.  45 Million lives lost at the hands of murderers. Lost because the House of God is too nice, too afraid of upsetting people, too afraid of what people might think. We are at war for the survival of humanity, souls, and our culture, and we will lose unless we stand and fight. ENOUGH! I lay the blame for these murders at the feet of the church and ask WHY!? Why did we look away while the courts, and the government sanctioned the murders? 40 years, 1,125,000 deaths per year, each of them preventable, each death, the death of an innocent, and yet we did NOTHING, WHY!?
We will be buried under the Muslim hordes because the Church did not speak up. Because the People of God did not cry out with one voice, time and time again, that killing innocent babies is criminal, and therefore we are accomplices in the crime.
The fourth space tourist took flight on Sept 9, 2006, and the US media missed the ride. On Monday the fourth private citizen flew to space. Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian born American entrepreneur, flew aboard a Soyuz spaceship as the first woman to engage in the commercial aspect of space travel, and the first Iranian in space. Yet the US media talked about the Iranian President at the UN. Secondly, the US government failed to prominently display Anousheh’s accomplishments as a product of the freedoms we enjoy here. Those freedoms are not available to any woman in Iran, or any other country controlled by his ilk. This would have been the perfect thing to stick in their faces. You want to see what happens when everybody is free?

Thirdly, the US still fails to come to it’s senses when it comes to commercializing space. Let’s face it we lost the race this time. The Russians continue to capitalize on their experience, and we are still piddling with the “Pinto of space travel”. And the media enables this continued attitude by not covering Anousheh, but focusing on the shuttle.
Encouraging a democratic government in Iraq is only the enabling action towards a lasting peace, not the end result. A democratic government will enable a free market economy, which encourages capitalism. In his article Spreading Capitalism Is Good for Peace Doug Bandow explains that while democracy is desirable, it is not usually the leading cause of peace.
Illegal immigration is driving down wages because companies have become dependent on them which causes domestic unemployment to be artificially high. Here are the three problems:
1. Illegal immigration violates our nations sovereignty
2. U.S. Companies are dependent on the cheap labor that they provide.
3. The minimum wage is causing unemployment for U.S. Citizens.
Here’s the solution: Eliminate the minimum wage!
