Bush established the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in April 2002 to conduct a "comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system."

The president's commission found that "despite their prevalence, mental disorders often go undiagnosed" and recommended comprehensive mental health screening for "consumers of all ages," including preschool children. According to the commission, "Each year, young children are expelled from preschools and childcare facilities for severely disruptive behaviours and emotional disorders." Schools, are in a "key position" to screen the 52 million students and 6 million adults who work at the schools.

The tolerance and inclusiveness college campuses brag so much about aren't being extended to conservative students, former Young America's Foundation intern, and current UCLA student, Samantha Schutte explains.

Administrators and student leaders love to throw around buzzwords like 'diversity', 'unity', and 'inclusivity'. Many college campuses have entire advisory committees, or even chancellors, whose sole purpose is to promote a positive "campus climate." The stated goal is to maintain civility and mutual respect. But these committees have the unrealistic notion that every group on a campus can get along and never fight.

Kerns' House Bill 228, passed this year, states that Montanans have no obligation to retreat or seek law enforcement assistance, in their home or anywhere else, before using deadly force if threatened.

The law also prevents landlords or hotel owners from curbing their tenants] gun rights, and places the burden of proof in self-defense shootings on the state, instead of the shooter. That last item is what has had repercussions throughout Montana in recent months.

Once upon a time, all you needed to be an organic farmer in America was a pair of Birkenstocks and a commitment to keep your products chemical-free. Those idealistic days of the 1990s are long gone.

Today, organic farming is a $30 billion industry dominated by Big Agriculture, backed up by Uncle Sam and a federal rulebook that gets longer every day. Today, the National Organic Standards Board keeps a list of 250 nonorganic food additives that can be used under the "certified organic" label. That's three times the number listed just 10 years ago. As the Soviets proved time and again, a good central committee can kill just about anything. Only a few farmers saw this coming.

Every community church and club has them - the wise-cracking, apron-wearing women working back in the kitchen to keep the flock fed and everything humming, whether it's 40 below for the Christmas dinner or the June bride can't be found.

They're the "Church Basement Ladies," the unsung heroes who step into the spotlight in Sierra Repetory Theatre's new musical comedy opening Friday at the Fallon House Theater in Columbia State Historic Park. Think "Prairie Home Companion" meets "The Carol Burnett Show" and "I Love Lucy," throw in lots of singing, dancing and good-natured fun, and you get the picture.

'Conservative Message Deficiency' Syndrome (CMD)

November 7, 2012

The first step in solving a problem is to first recognize that it exists.

An article in the Washington Post titled The Strategy That Paved a Winning Path provides insider information and insights that might help conservatives to address problems in the next presidential race. Mitt Romney is a good man who ran a vigorous campaign, but like Senators Bob Dole and John McCain before him, Romney seemed reluctant to express a clear conservative message, and to confront the liberal record of Barack Obama. In 2012 the campaign's "conservative message deficiency" (CMD) syndrome played out in several ways.

'Conspiracy Theorists' Are Vindicated: U.S. Senate Reports Chemtrails Are Real and Are Killing Us!

Mentioning the word 'chemtrails' on a public bus or Facebook is bound to earn you a few eye rolls from eavesdroppers and skeptical family members.

However, while skepticism - regardless of the source - isn't exactly the worst thing in the world, it appears that those who believe strongly in the idea that the U.S. government is spraying dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere may have been onto something after all.

Subsidies to businesses in the federal budget in Fiscal Year 2012 cost taxpayers almost $100 billion, according to a new report from the Cato Institute.

"That includes direct and indirect subsidies to small businesses, large corporations, and industry organizations," the libertarian think-tank said in its latest policy analysis. The subsidies are handed out from programs in many federal departments, including the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, and Housing and Urban Development, the report noted. At the same time, the federal government will run its fourth consecutive deficit in excess of $1 trillion this year.

'Crack baby' study ends with unexpected but clear result

Ever since her birth 23 years ago, a team of researchers has been tracking every aspect of her development - gauging her progress as an infant, measuring her IQ as a prechooler, even peering into her adolescent brain using an MRI machine.

Now, after nearly a quarter century, the federally funded study was ending, and the question the researchers had been asking was answered. Did cocaine harm the long-term development of children like Jaimee, who were exposed to the drug in their mother's womb? The researchers had expected the answer would be a resounding yes. But it wasn't. Another factor would prove far more critical. A crack epidemic was raging in Philadelphia in 1989 when Hallam Hurt, then chair of neonatology at Albert Einstein Medical Center on North Broad Street, began a study to evaluate the effects of in-utero cocaine exposure on babies.

In keeping with the new media notion of crowdsourcing-enthusiastically embraced by the MSM when trawling through Sarah Palin's emails-Big Government will be providing readers later today with links to a document drop consisting of 1000's of emails.

The email archive, created by a private cyber security researcher, appears to contain messages shared by the left's anarcho-socialist activists during the strategic and daily tactical planning of the "Occupy Wall Street" and broader "Occupy" campaign this fall. Big Government received a tip about the existence of the archive, and we were able to contact the individual who compiled and posted it.
