Poll: Public view of Federal Government Hits New Low
Even as public views of the federal government in Washington have fallen to another new low, the public continues to see their state and local governments in a favorable light. Overall, 63% say they have a favorable opinion of their local government, virtually unchanged over recent years. And 57% express a favorable view of their state government – a five-point uptick from last year. By contrast, just 28% rate the federal government in Washington favorably. That is down five points from a year ago and the lowest percentage ever in a Pew Research Center survey. The percentage of Democrats expressing a favorable opinion of the federal government has declined 10 points in the past year, from 51% to 41%. For the first time since Barack Obama became president, more Democrats say they have [...]
The United Fates of America
by Joe Keck A very poignant and startling article here on Politisite is one by Doc Vega, titled Federal government preparing to arrest US sheriffs. I suggest you read it. Those even mildly familiar with our Founding documents will find it disturbing, to say the least. Basically, it tells of how the Obama administration is seeking to get states to change their legislation allowing the Fedral Government to arrest sheriffs that don't comply with the Federal wishes. It really is that simple. But those of us who are used to despotic Liberal tactics to control the people are not surprised. That’s how they work. They let the people to vote and if they vote wrong, then it's time to break out Governmental, municipal, and court-room manipulations to force onto them what's best for [...]
FACT SHEET: PRESIDENTIAL POLICY DIRECTIVE ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AND RESILIENCE
FACT SHEET: PRESIDENTIAL POLICY DIRECTIVE ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AND RESILIENCE To complement the Cyber Security Executive Order issued today, the Administration is also issuing a Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) on critical infrastructure security and resilience that updates the national approach from Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7, issued in 2003, to adjust to the new risk environment, key lessons learned, and drive toward enhanced capabilities. The Nation’s critical infrastructure provides the essential services that underpin American society. Proactive and coordinated efforts are necessary for us to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure – including the assets, networks, and systems that are vital to [...]
A Federal Government Imposed Recession
By Doc Vega The United States had an opportunity to turn around an ailing economy and fix a disastrous foreign policy, but after the re-election of President Obama all bets are off. This rigid ideologue is committed to forcing America to the whim of his world view. A destructive President re-elected to wreak havoc on US economy! Since 2009 and the election of President Barack Obama America had been under an ideological assault that pit’s the traditional heritage of American freedom and self reliance against a gigantic government sanctioned welfare state that has been designed by the Democratic party to buy votes. This, they rationalize, will perpetuate their rule, but only at the cost of weakening the economy. As the federal government spends itself deeper into a deficit for [...]
Why All Americans Should Worry About One Little Filmmaker With Baggage
By Kevin Williams - Guest Op-Ed A few weeks ago, we all learned about the terrible attacks upon our Embassy in Cairo, Egypt and our Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Our Ambassador Christopher Stevens, a good man by all accounts, and Sean Smith, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty were murdered in Benghazi by Islamist extremists led by an Al Qaeda member released from Gitmo (Prisoner #557). As bad as these events were, what was almost as bad was and is the Obama Administration’s lack of focus on the real threat involved. Instead, they responded to these incidents by blaming them on an obscure, poorly-made film called The Innocence of Muslims. Actually, it was just a fourteen-minute film trailer, but that isn’t the point. From jump, the scape-goating of this YouTube film trailer and [...]

Northeast Most Trusting of Federal Government; South Least Trusting
Worthington, OH (PRWEB) February 07, 2012 The vast majority of Americans (86.3%) feel like there is a “trust deficit” between citizens and elected officials, according to the January American Pulse™ Survey. A BIGinsight™ analysis of this recent survey shows that different areas of the country are more trusting than others. According to the Federal Government Trust Index, which compares the level of trust in each census region to the trust of the nation as a whole, the Northeast is more trusting than other regions with an index of 118.8. For this index, a score of 100 means that trust in that particular region is on par with the level of trust across the nation. A score above 100 indicates more trust in federal officials while a score less than 100 indicates a lower level of [...]
