Watch this! It's truly terrifying! Share it w/friends and family.
This is a must see. It puts all the facts together about the NSA "failure" to protect use from the 9/11 hijackers because of Bush leaders refusal to follow FISA laws.
NSA Takeover Secret govt agency kept intel from FBI about 9/11 hijackers, for money & power to spy on all.
The upshot is that these non-elected US govt agents were able to convince our Congress that they weren't to blame for keeping intel about 9/11 terrorists living in USA for over a year from FBI.
Instead NSA chief convinced US Congress that the NSA could have prevented 9/11 if they had more money and power to spy on everyone in USA. Now they have it.
Vigilance: A Word About Patriotism
This is a well rounded article where the author doesn't shy away from reality, even if the people who are causing the trouble are now back-pedaling and denying their role in this unfortunate lack of respect for their government.
There is also a discussion of why many supported the last president, even though the election was completed by judges, NOT the people.
"Some people who live in this country don't want the President to speak in their kids' school. They don't accept the electoral process that put him in office, they do not respect the will of the majority, they are organizing and rabble-rousing to undermine our government and the leaders we chose to lead us as a country."

Race to the Top is a fake out fund that Duncan is using as a union buster, instead of looking at what unions are REALLY saying about tying student achievement to teacher pay, etc;
USE REAL DATA, NOT FAKE-OUT DATA!
This article is using the "paint w/ a broad brush" propaganda technique to forcefully close the mouths of experienced teachers. It is a very negative editorial about unions and experienced teachers

Op-Ed Contributor - Yes, We Will Have No Bananas - Op-Ed - NYTimes.com
history of banana plantations; why bananas are so cheap; discussion of Panama virus that could wipe out bananas; growers supported by governments to keep wages low and workers working;
tells story of government overthrows and killings to support growers, but even our own government has done the same here; Who remembers the killings and running out of DC of the Bonus Army? Who remembers the nonviolent protest of WWI veterans' ill treatment by the American govt with Army units lead by MacArthur?
