Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
The Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637
The later part of the 20th century saw its share of odd financial bubbles. There was the real-estate bubble, the stock market bubbles, and the dot com bubble, just to name a few. In each instance of price inflation people paid exorbitant amounts for things that shouldn’t have been worth anything like the going price. And each time people stood around afterwards and said “What were we thinking?”
One has to believe that the same thought occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century when they settled down after their bout with tulipomania, wherein the humble tulip bulb began to sell for prices to make New York Realtors blanch.
As much as the tulip is associated with Holland, it is not native there. Rather it was introduced in 1593 by a botanist named Carolus Clusius, who brought it from Constantinople. He planted a small garden, intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. Had Clusius’s neighbors been morally upright, the tulip might still be a rare exotic in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his bulbs in order to make some quick money, and in the process started the Dutch bulb trade

Fox News is getting more liberal everyday and we're not surprised by this latest rumor. Now that Roger Ailes is out of Fox News, his replacement could come from CNN.
Meagan Kelly exposed...
she will be going to CNN probably very soon with a $25 million contract!
Just watched Trump`s Grand opening of the old post office. He took government contract and was under budget and 2 years ahead of schedule. And not one network covered it. ...It was on u-tube live stream. Right Side Broadcasting.
You need to go past half way to see ..........
Kathy Schumacher said this Are You Sick of the corrupt, arrogant, condescending, deceptive, deceitful, irresponsible, unethical, self-righteous, self-centered, self-serving politicians in Washington and their complicit media?
Here is the last stretch! On November 8, when you walk into your voting booth, you ought to think about these:
Are you better off in last 8 years?
Did you feel your neighborhood safer in last 8 years? Are Law and Order compromised?
Do you think our reli...gious freedom have been trod over, mocked and infringed which is essential and fundamental in our individual and family lives?
Do you think our country is misled and heading toward a wrong direction?
Are our young under-educated, least-informed, ill-indoctrinated, lack of skills in real life?
Our nation's racial relations is better in last 8 years?
Do you think our military service men and women, our veterans are neglected, law enforcement abused, helps to real poor and needy failed miserably?
Is it immoral to rob our senior citizens their retirement Social Security?
Is OK to break the law and come into our country illegally? Should we allow and welcome people who want to kill us into our country?
Do we have respect of the foreign nations and their people?
Do you think the Tax, Spend and Wasteful government over burden you? Make you helpless, hopeless? National debt is out of whack?
Are politicians in Washington out of touch with common people? Are they out for themselves' interests and benefits? Behave as if they are above the laws arrogantly, defiantly? They live like they are untouchable bunch of royals.
Do you think the politicians in Washington play games of deception, misinformation with you, manipulate your heart and mind but deliver less with their promises?
Do you feel that your voices are not being heard but instead being held in contempt?
If the answers are negative, then your mission is to change Washington, break their gangster networks.
Don't let the MSM and talking heads fool you otherwise. They are intertwinedly related.
Your ultimate choice is to vote for Donald Trump/Mike Pence.
