Not sure about that,lance.I think it has a heck of a lot to do with current events.What's that saying about he who fails to learn from history?

lance, I watched that series and recommend it to anyone interested in history. Many lessons in there that apply to today.

Another lesson in Government efficiency that can relate to Obamacare and even the Human rights museum in Winnipeg. The estimated costs are never the real costs.

"Besides, banks shouldn’t be obscenely profitable: they’re intermediaries, and in an efficient economy their profits should be quite easily competed away. When bank profits are high, that’s a sign that the bank in question is extracting rents from the economy, rather than helping it to grow."

Apparently the government of the US can confiscate money from a bank account of any American citizen.
No reason given, no crime committed, the paper pushers just decide and puff, yer money is gone.

Just like that.

Lance, thanks for that episode on Rome. I question the current events thought of yours. This time instead of Caesar giving the Roman Republic the coup de grass it is Marxism.

Does anyone know where or if the complete series can be purchased? I and my grandson would be greatly pleased to know.

More fun with Obama voters.

"Greyson and Loubani's detention in Egypt shows the Canadian left are hypocritical colonialists at heart"

"After two weeks of a fruit juice diet they dubbed as a "hunger strike," John Greyson and Tarek Loubani have decided to resume eating solid food while remaining detained in a Cairo prison. It must have finally dawned on the pair of narcissistic activists that the Egyptian authorities don't really care if they were to starve themselves to death.

If anything, were Greyson and Loubani to die in prison, it could serve the Egyptians' purposes by providing an example to other activist dilettantes intending to come to their country to interfere in a volatile domestic political crisis. But of course it would never have come to that. Greyson and Loubani are the type to make self-promoting, but not suicidal gestures.

To understand the antipathy Egyptians have towards Greyson, Loubani and foreigners like them, it helps to know a little about Egypt in the months leading up to their arrest. The Muslim Brotherhood is a totalitarian, misogynistic, homophobic, jihadist group that, during its brief time controlling Egypt under the government of Mohammed Morsi, attempted to snatch dictatorial powers for themselves.

The "anti-democratic" coup by the army denounced by western supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and their useful idiot accomplices was in fact a response to enormous demonstrations of millions of Egyptians calling for Morsi's removal. These protests were far larger than even those that instigated the end of Hosni Mubarak's presidency, with almost half of Egypt's voting population calling for new elections."

Forgive me if this was previously posted, but here's a *great* satirical blog post about Obamacare.

The REAL leader of Iran is not pleased with his PM for speaking to Obama on the phone.

The Ayatollah Ali Khameini (pbuh) leaves no doubt as to who is in charge in Iran,and refers to the politicians as "our dear government".

I still believe this whole Iran/USA thing could be solved if Obama would go to Tehran and kiss the Ayatollah's feet,or some other part of his body.

Thank goodness he doesn't have anything IMPORTANT to worry about:

"The sadistic strategy of Obama & Reid" by Pat Buchanan.

"Again, Reid and Obama do not want to ease the pain of the people. They want to intensify that pain, ratchet it up, maximize it, to put maximum pressure on and do maximum damage to the GOP.

The Obama-Reid strategy is, in a word, sadistic."
