omit pertinent facts.

House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, encourages deceit. In the last Congressional election, she advised House members to jump aboard the drill for oil programs if that would appease voters and protect their House seats. She assured members the vote would never make it to the House floor.

When Pelosi was briefed about water boarding, (as she now admits) why didn't she go public with the knowledge and condemn water boarding whether she thought it was in practice or being considered for use? Was she ignorant or indifferent? Or is she lying?

Leaders like Charles Rangel would face accountability and feel less secure in positions of power. Rangel (D-NY) is under investigation by the ethics committee, but retained his chairmanship in the House Ways and Means Committee. Tax issues stem from leasing rent controlled apartments, failing to report revenue in his personal income taxes, and providing a tax break in return for a large charitable donation.

With an honest Congress Rangel would face consequences for questionable activities and for neglecting to pay his own taxes, while writing taxes for the American people. His recent statement about his reelection reveals that he sees no threat or challenge of accountability to his re-election.

3: Take news media reports with a grain of healthy skepticism:

The news media as a whole are liberal. Since the 1950s, the concept of personal liberties has been attacked in books that elevate the pragmatist and social justice theme. Academics have written against the notion of individualism since the 1950s and liberal agenda has successfully invaded the academic world and moved on to news media.

Progressive academics take a dim view on individualism and liken it to abuse, bourgeois, and racism. Roger Kimball, Tenured Radicals 46-47 (1990)

In the 2008 presidential election, news media contributed 98 percent of total money donations to Democratic candidates.

Can we realistically elect a new Congress? Harry Reid has been a loyal Senator committed to pushing the liberal agenda. He's seeking reelection and has the Obama administration behind him. If money and power still talk, he'll likely be re-elected even with all the voter opposition he faces in Nevada.

Nancy Pelosi has big money behind her next run for reelection despite the controversy over her words, her ties with questionable people, and her accusations toward the CIA. Most members of Congress believe she will be reelected without a problem.

In the recent presidential election, George Soros put his money behind his organized voting mechanisms and joined the effort to elect Obama.

Soros doesn't play US politics for fun or because he loves Obama. He has an agenda called global governance. He gained $2.9 billion dollars by hedging bets against the US economy. He remarked recently, "I'm having a good crisis." This is a man with money, who uses his money to directly influence American policy. Our current Congressional leadership enhance the Soros agenda.

Taking back America is a possibility, in theory. However, long-term liberal political agenda was set many decades ago, and it is now picking up momentum with the new administration.

Perhaps you still believe in the sovereignty of the United States. I'd really like to believe, but the liberal agenda is larger than any self-interest politicians. You'd have to break the back of the liberal agenda to take back America.
