From Eric Cantor's You Cut Project, "Obama's Endgame: A Look at the National Debt," which takes a look at the debt crisis facing this country is a must see video. To be clear, this is not a typical web video - this is an in-depth analysis of the impact of the national debt upon our nation's future and the government's actions over the past two years.
America is at a critical crossroads, and the path we take will determine the kind of country we want to be. Our country is facing serious challenges; this video is a serious and substantive look at the crisis of generational debt being created by government today.

Just Some Thoughts
If you have been following the political talk shows and talk radio, you have undoubtedly heard a Liberal spouting off about the Conservatives having no new ideas. It’s true – the Conservative ideas of small federal government, governmental powered limited to what is enumerated by the Constitution, fair taxation and taxation with representation, enforced ethics in government, getting government out of the way so people and businesses can flourish – are all ideas of our Founders and put in place over 220 years ago only to see these ideas slowly eroded by the Liberals in power starting with Woodrow Wilson, expanding through FDR and now attempting to get momentum and a further erosion of Constitutional rights under Barack Obama.
Just who is Charlie Rangel (D-NY) accusing when he says “it is pretty odd that the only Congressional Reps being target for ethics investigations are both Black Americans”. The other unethical mutt if you haven’t been keeping track is Maxine Waters (D-CA) who used her influence to drive funding to a bank where her husband had a financial interest. Man, are people quick to through down the racist card in attempts to drive the focus someplace else. Charlie Rangel is like a Cockroach being illuminated by a flashlight.
Ever notice Free Speech applies only to Liberals? Some idiot can have a painting of Mary Magdalena with human feces smeared on it and call it art and protected under free speech, but have some kids wear a t-shirt with an American Flag on it and they get forced to remove the t-shirt to avoid hurting the feelings of other kid’s who identify with another country. Unbelievable.

Gadsden Flag
Christopher Gadsden was an American patriot if ever there was one. He led Sons of Liberty in South Carolina starting in 1765, and was later made a colonel in the Continental Army. In 1775 he was in Philadelphia representing his home state in the Continental Congress. He was also one of three members of the Marine Committee who decided to outfit and man the Alfred and its sister ships.
Gadsden and Congress chose a Rhode Island man, Esek Hopkins, as the commander-in-chief of the Navy. The flag that Hopkins used as his personal standard on the Alfred is the one we would now recognize. It's likely that John Paul Jones, as the first lieutenant on the Alfred, ran it up the gaff.
It's generally accepted that Hopkins' flag was presented to him by Christopher Gadsden, who felt it was especially important for the commodore to have a distinctive personal standard. Gadsden also presented a copy of this flag to his state legislature in Charleston. This is recorded in the South Carolina congressional journals:
"Col. Gadsden presented to the Congress an elegant standard, such as is to be used by the commander in chief of the American navy; being a yellow field, with a lively representation of a rattle-snake in the middle, in the attitude of going to strike, and these words underneath, "Don't Tread on Me!"
The Revolutionary standard The Gadsden flag and other rattlesnake flags were widely used during the American Revolution. There was no standard American flag at the time. People were free to choose their own banners.
