Socialism & John McCain

DOW after the Bailout

I sure am glad the unconstitutional, socialist bailout, which our politicians and our president said was extremely urgent, has worked so far to stable the economy. The Dow is down almost 2,000 points since the bill was signed.

McCain = Marx

"Well, you guys might have thought that we were witnessing a kind of dull civics course, but in fact, we were witnessing tonight something quite profound -- and that was the sinking ship of free-market Republicans keel over, groan and fall to the bottom of the sea."

Bailout Passes, Stock Market Drops

The infinite wisdom of our communist representatives in Washington, DC believed that the bailout bill was "necessary". You would think that the market would have soared on the news that the socialist bailout bill was passed today. Not so. The market was up 300 points before the bailout today and the DOW dropped over 150 points after the bailout was passed by Congress. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Bob Barr's Television Ad

Bailout Is Unconstitutional

I watched the Senate remarks on the bailout bill on 10/1. Just about every senator spoke about how this bill needed to be passed swiftly as our financial system was about to crumble before our eyes, which was apparent by the 74-25 vote in favor of the bill. However, I saw Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma get up and make a wonderful speech about the Congress going outside the bounds of the rules enumerated in the Constitution. It was an extremely refreshing speech given the fact that every other senator promoted the unconstitutional bill. I was so moved by the speech that I called Senator Coburn's office and thanked him for actually mentioning the Constitution and pleading Congress to abide by it. Well, I must haved missed the tiny clippet in his speech where he said he planned on supporting the bill, because that's just what he did. He made this moving speech about Constitutionality, then he turned around and took the unconstitutional route and voted for the bill. We need more than lip service and fancy speeches. Leave that to Obama...that's his forte. We need our DC Representatives to actually vote within the bounds of the Consitution, or else we need to storm the Capitol and take this country back.

Below is his speech...

Obama & ACORN

Obama bases his experience that qualifies him for President solely on being a "community organizer". Well, we're learning more and more about what "community organizer" really means. Obama has ties to the radical "community organizing" group ACORN. And ACORN, after the Community Reinvestment Act was passed into law in 1977, has a record of pressuring banks to make bad loans to people who can't afford them which has gotten us into the mess we're in now. Not only did Barack Obama accept the 2nd highest amount of money from Fannie and Freddie lobbyists, he is also connected with this organization that had a huge part in facilitating the housing crisis. So, ipso facto, Obama is a main contributor to the mess we're in now. In addition, ACORN is being investigated for voter fraud in several states. I wonder who will be trying to steal the election this year. This is the "change" we need??? This is just proof that democrat, socialist policies don't work.

Chavez says crisis-hit U.S. needs new constitution

This is an election year. Can you guess which candidate said this...?

I think the United States should start a constituent process to create a constituent assembly, a new truly democratic model.

It's time to shout 'Liberty!' again in the United States

It had to be McCain, right? I mean Republicans are pro-liberty, right? Nope, wasn't McCain. Well, it had to be Obama then, right? Nope, wasn't Obama either. Our communist enemy to the south, Hugo Chavez, said those things. I fervently disagree with everything Hugo Chavez stands for and I know he was being facetious when saying these things, but I find it interesting and quite sad that during this election year, neither of the mainstream candidates even give slight mention to our Constitution and liberty. How truly sad it is, that Hugo Chavez is the only one talking about "Liberty again in the U.S."

That's okay Hugo, we don't need a new Constitution. Why go through the work of creating a new one when the one we have is more than adequate, yet our politicians don't abide by it anyway?

Kirk Cameron - I'll Only Kiss My Wife

This isn't political at all, but I thought it was a good story. Kirk Cameron who we all loved as Mike Seaver in the 80's hit show 'Growing Pains', has a new movie coming out. He's had a long time commitment between he and his wife that when he makes movies, he will not be involved in any romantic scenes with anybody else but his wife. It may hold him back from getting movie roles in Hollywood, but he doesn't care. He even catches flak for it from people, but he's quick to say the flak never come from his wife, and she's really the only one who matters. It's no wonder he's still married after 17 years when most Hollywood marriages go bad very quickly. Anyway...just a neat story I thought.

Homeland Security Reads Your Mind

You're guilty until proven innocent now in America, and you have no 4th Amendment rights. The text of the 4th Amendment reads...

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Is it 1984? I'm sure Americans will be just fine with this though. We gotta stop those terrorists, no matter what the cost, right?

In the words of Benjamin Franklin...

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

McCain To CREATE A New Government Program

Sure, McCain is a conservate...yeah, right. He wants to create what he calls an MFI (Mortgate and Financial Institutions Trust). Yep, the answer to this financial "crisis" is to create another big government program. Just another reason not to vote for McCain.

Foreign Banks To Get Help Too?

We have truly lost control of our government. I used to be a fan of the Bush administration, but W is certainly proving himself to be a socialist...a far cry from his limited government platform he ran on when running for election. Now Treasury Secretary Paulson is saying that foreign banks that have operations in the U.S. will be eligible for help too under this bailout rescue plan. Why isn't the important question being asked? Is this bailout plan even Constitutional??

Financial Crisis?

Are we truly in a "financial crisis"? Yeah, you may see the stock market drop 300 points one day, but rest assured, it will most likely jump right back up before the week is over. For instance, this week with all the major drops and increases we actually ended up just about breaking even. So why all the panic? Even with these huge peaks and valleys, the stock market continues to historically show upward mobility. I even saw that the market is up 18% over the last 5 years. Not a bad return at all. You can easily see the upward trend in the chart below which shows data for the DOW for the last 20 years.

Ron Paul on Bailouts

Everyone thought he was a kook during the primaries, but with more and more socialist bailouts and unconstitutional monetary policies by the day, we see that Ron Paul was right on the money. He should've been our next President.

Government Schools

Brad Johnson, a school teacher in California, was told he could not decorate his classroom with posters which consisted of sayings such as...

"In God We Trust"

"God Bless America"

"One Nation Under God"

"God Shed His Grace On Thee"

"All Men Are Created Equal, They Are Endowed By Their Creator"

However, other teachers could post Tibetan prayer flags and posters of Buddhist and Islamic messages. The school district argued that the 7-foot wide banners in Brad Johnson's classroom at Westview High School proclaim a point of view "at odds with the educational mission of the school."

Whoopi to McCain: ‘Should I Be Worried About Being a Slave Again?’

Fred Thompson on Govt. Bailouts

• I’ll bet it came as a surprise to most folks that the financial stability of the world as we know it depends upon the survival of a couple of outfits called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yet that’s what the so-called experts are telling us. Moreover, we taxpayers are now being asked to guarantee Fannie and Freddie’s tab, one that could make the $124 billion S&L bailout of the late 1980s look cheap.
• So how did we get stuck with this bill? Well, Congress wanted to “do something” about what it saw as a “housing problem.” To them that meant that they should create an even bigger problem.
• So Congress passed laws that made it easier for hopeful home-buyers to buy houses … even when they couldn’t afford them. Then the Fed and other regulators helped, in the form of easy money and loose credit standards for mortgages.
• So you’d think the in-over-their-heads homebuyers and the mortgage bankers would take the hit, and the market would right itself. No reason for an international meltdown here, right? Not so fast my friends.
• Lost in this immense, complex mess is the root problem most people are missing: the government is gradually becoming the guarantor of seemingly every important aspect of American secular life, creating incentives and bureaucracies that cause failure and invite fraud.
• You’d think we’d have learned by now: when the backstop of the federal treasury makes it easier for politicians, lenders, borrowers, welfare recipients, government contractors, or anyone else, to serve their own self interest at the expense of the taxpayer, many will do just that.
• Our Founding Fathers knew more than a little bit about human nature. It is one reason why in the Constitution, the federal government was given certain delineated powers and no others. I hate to burst another bubble, but our government simply doesn’t have the authority or the capability to be the guarantor or insurer of our every need or desire. Isn’t it time we started sending that message loud and clear to the big enablers in Washington?

A Real Republican

It truly depresses me as I watch all these faux conservatives at the Republican convention throwing their support behind a liberal who they couldn't stand just a few months ago. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. The Republican party truly has sold its conservative soul all in the name of stopping Obama. At least we still have a true Republican out there fighting the good fight of conservatism...Ron Paul.

Back To School

Said best by the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth, Neal Boortz...

"What else can I say. You know government schools are worse than terrible. But you have made the decision to take the most precious thing in your life and turn it over to the government for what the government calls an "education." You haven't even taken the time to let your congressman or senator know how you feel about school choice. Your child – your choice. Too bad for your child. Someday you tell him or her why a brand new car and all of those lifestyle expenses were so much more important than their education."

The Future of America

Ah, our citizens lining up for free healthcare. It's a little reminiscent of Russians lining up for their government bread and cheese. This is the future of our country...the Socialist States of America. Nevermind the fact that these people made conscious decisions NOT to purchase health insurance. I know it is expensive to purchase health insurance if you are not employed (not saying these people aren't employed), but I'm sure these people have cell phones, TVs, digital cable, and a host of other non-necessities that they pay for each month. It's not a healthcare problem we have...people just don't have their priorities in line. If they really wanted health insurance, they would find a way to get it. But hey, why should they, when someone else foots the bill?

The Rich Don't Pay Taxes?

"Washington is teeing up "the rich" for a big tax hike next year, as a way to make them "pay their fair share." Well, the latest IRS data have arrived on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006, and it's going to be hard for the rich to pay any more than they already do. The data show that the 2003 Bush tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in American history."

"The nearby chart shows that the top 1% of taxpayers, those who earn above $388,806, paid 40% of all income taxes in 2006, the highest share in at least 40 years. The top 10% in income, those earning more than $108,904, paid 71%. Barack Obama says he's going to cut taxes for those at the bottom, but that's also going to be a challenge because Americans with an income below the median paid a record low 2.9% of all income taxes, while the top 50% paid 97.1%. Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half."

"The idea that this has been a giveaway to the rich is a figment of the left's imagination. Taxes paid by millionaire households more than doubled to $274 billion in 2006 from $136 billion in 2003. No President has ever plied more money from the rich than George W. Bush did with his 2003 tax cuts. These tax payments from the rich explain the very rapid reduction in the budget deficit to 1.9% of GDP in 2006 from 3.5% in 2003."

"If Mr. Obama does succeed in raising tax rates on the rich, we'd also wager that the rich share of tax payments would fall. The last time tax rates were as high as the Senator wants them -- the Carter years -- the rich paid only 19% of all income taxes, half of the 40% share they pay today. Why? Because they either worked less, earned less, or they found ways to shelter income from taxes so it was never reported to the IRS as income."

It is disturbing to me the way we are headed. We have the top 50% of this country paying almost all the bills for the bottom 50% of this country.

Raising a Nation of Imbeciles

(WSB Radio/AP) -- The number of Georgia schools meeting federal No Child Left Behind requirements plummeted this year after thousands of students failed state math tests.

Data released by the Georgia Department of Education on Friday show just 69 percent of schools made ``adequate yearly progress,'' compared to about 82 percent last year. It's the lowest AYP rate for Georgia in four years.

Elementary schools declined from 95.6% to 76.4%. Middle schools fell from 65.3% to 64.9%. High schools declined from 56.0% to 47.8%.

Schools that miss AYP two years in a row are put on the ``needs improvement'' list. Those schools must offer extra tutoring for struggling students and give parents the option to send their children to another, higher-performing school.

AYP is measured based on math and reading test scores, attendance, graduation rates and other factors.

Cost of Government Day...

...was July 16th. That means that YOU worked over 1/2 a year to pay for all federal, state, and local taxes. Now you are working for yourself. It's funny...actually sad, that government spending was the highest over part of the Reagan, Bush Sr. and the current Bush administration. What a shame. I thought Republicans were supposed to be the party of small government.

Democrats and the Poor

I always thought democrats were supposed to be for the poor. Why then are they sending homeless people to the zoo during the Democrat National Convention? Why don't they want them near their convention? Why don't they invite them in to partake in the activities? Surely they aren't suggesting the homeless belong at the zoo...are they? :)

No Media Bias? Yeah...Right!

President Bush Lifts Executive Ban on Drilling

It's about time our government got out of the way. All we're waiting for now is the democrat-led Congress to act. Or as President Bush says, "The only thing standing between the American people and these vast oil resources is action from the U.S. Congress."

Congress' 9% Approval Rating

"The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job."

"Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of 2008."

"The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month."


Even democrats have expressed a decline in approval of their own democrat-led congress. Is this the "new direction" democrats promised Americans? You're doing a great job on the hill Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. Keep it up!

America's Christian Heritage

I was listening to David Barton for the first time today on my ride home from work. He was speaking on Focus on the Family's AM Radio broadcast. I was very impressed. Mr. Barton is a very well-spoken man, and has done tireless research as a historian to prove that America was indeed founded on Christian principles and by many Christian men. He enlightened me and explained away many misconceptions passed along to me by my pitiful public school education. I thought this appropriate as we celebrate the 4th of July to shed some light on TRUE American history.

Below is the only good thing I could find on YouTube.

Politicians' Empty Promises on Oil

Shale oil

You can't tell me "big" oil doesn't invest money in R&D...money that would be taken by democrats via taxes. Shell got 1,800 barrels of oil from a tiny 30ft X 40ft shale patch in the Rockies...minimal earth disruption. So much for looting and plundering our mother Earth.

Democrats

This is why you pay a lot at the pump...because of the environmentalists and democrats in Congress. In this video, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, says oil and coal make us "sick" because of global warming. So, because of a hoax, our fellow democrats in Congress are digging in their heels and they are perfectly content with Americans paying a lot at the pump. Unbelievable.

Illegal Immigration

When are we going to do something about illegal immigration? Here we have members of the Mexican Army who are in our country committing home invasions and homicides. It is outrageous that our government has not done anything to stop illegal immigration. In fact, doesn't this constitute an act of war? Members of the Mexican Army are in our country killing people and one interviewed said they were prepared to ambush police officers. A sovereign nation invading another sovereign nation. Why are we not retaliating?

Glenn Beck Interviews Bob Barr

Obama On Privatizing Social Security

• "Social Security is strong"

• "Let me be clear, privatizing social security was a bad idea when George Bush proposed it, and it's a bad idea today"
  

• "It would gamble retirement plans of millions of Americans on the stock market. Imagine if your social security right now was tied up with the DOW Jones. How would you feel when you woke up in the morning and heard that the DOW was down 400 points?"
  

• "You wouldn't feel real confident about the stability of your nest egg"
  

• "That's why I won't stand for it when I'm president"

Those are Obama's quotes on the video above. If you listen carefully and read between the lines, you will observe his blatant support of socialism.

• First, Social Security is not strong. It's on the verge of bankruptcy because politicians borrowed (ie: stole) the funds' money and used it for other things.
  
• Second, we shouldn't even have social security as it is a socialist program, but since we do, privatizing it should be up to the people. It is NOT up to you Obama. It is our (the taxpayers) money.
  
• Third, it would "gamble" our money on the stock market, and we'd be distraught to find out the DOW was down one day? Unless you're a day trader, a one day drop in the stock market will not affect you. Historically, the stock market has a proven 12% return. You keep your money in for the long term. If the stock market is so bad, why are there millions of people with 401k retirement plans? Plus, and this is a big plus, are we not gambling when we give our money to you (government)? As mentioned above, our beloved government stole the money meant for social security and used it for something else, and it's now on the verge of bankruptcy. Young people will not see a dime after being forced to contribute for 30-40 years. I believe I'll "feel more confident" with my money in a medium that has shown a 12% return instead of putting it in the hands of an inept government.

You see folks, Obama doesn't think you can be trusted with your OWN money. He believes government is the answer to everything, and he believes the government knows how to spend your money best. He is a blatant socialist. He will take your money, by force via taxes, and tell you how it's best spent, and NOT even give you the option to keep your money to invest it the way you see fit. America is in trouble.

"Disturbing Pics" of Young Girl Holding Guns Found on Suspect's Phone

"Toby Allen, 30, a five-time felon, was under investigation for the alleged robbery of equipment from his employer, a lawn maintenance company, when Brevard County Sheriff's detectives found pictures of an unidentified 6-year-old child posing with a pistol with her finger on the trigger, MyFOXOrlando.com reported."

"Other photos display Allen with an SKS rifle, according to the report."

"It’s alarming to say the least,” Detective Steve Hill told MyFOXOrlando.com. “While the photos are not enough make a case for a child abuse charge, we are very concerned about Allen’s actions and are continuing to investigate.”

Okay, aside from the fact that this guy is a five time felon and should be in jail, and aside from the fact that not all the pictures are the epitome of firearm safety, why is it that people always react negatively (mostly the media and liberals) when you mix children with firearms? Even though I wholeheartedly agree this criminal should be in jail, I saw the opportunity to use this story to discuss children and firearms. Now, in my opinion, this girl does look a little young to be handling firearms, but that should be up to each individual law-abiding parent to decide, not the government.

In fact, it was common, in the younger days of this country, for children to handle and use firearms. Nobody thought twice about it. In fact, one of our founding fathers, Richard Henry Lee, who was the 6th President of the Continental Congress after the Ratification of the Articles of Confederation, said this about gun ownership in America...

“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”

But now that the country has become increasingly more liberal, people are shocked when they see children around firearms. Before the liberals get all up in arms, no pun intended, let me go through a few FACTS.

• Child Mortality Rates (Ages 1-14)
• Motor Vehicle Accidents - 7.8 per 100,000 population
• Drowning - 3.6 per 100,000 population
• Exposure to smoke, fire, & flames - 1.8 per 100,000 population
• Falls - 0.3 per 100,000 population
• Accidental Firearm Discharge - 0.2 per 100,000 population
• Poisoning - 0.2 per 100,000 population
• (Click here to view the report. It is on page 38.)
  

• Firearm accidental deaths among children 1-14 years of age are down over 50% from 1970 (Click here to view the report)

So, as you can see, children are more likely to be killed in a motor vehicle accident, by drowning, by being exposed to fire, or by falling than they are to be killed by accidentally discharging a firearm. The funny thing is, I don't see people getting upset when they see children riding in cars, or swimming in pools, or taking baths, or playing on tall playgrounds in the park. But put a firearm in a child's hands, and "Oh, the horror!".

Now, am I advocating turning children loose with firearms? Absolutely not. Firearms are deadly and children should always be supervised if they are ever around them, just as children should be supervised in a pool, in the bathtub, or on playground equipment in a park. All I am saying is that people need to make decisions and form their opinions around facts, not emotions.

Police State in D.C.

D.C. is an embarrassment. As our nation's capital, D.C. should be the shining city on a hill...an exemplification of freedom and liberty for the world to see. But it's not. It's a crime infested place with minimal liberty. Because of its high crime rate, police are going to set up roadblocks in the Trinidad neighborhood to stop people and verify their reason for being in that particular neighborhood before they will be allowed to proceed. This is wrong. People should be free to come and go as they please, and they shouldn't be stopped without a reasonable cause.

Maybe it's just me, but why can't D.C. understand, by reviewing the facts, that states and cities with unrestricted firearm ownership have lower crime rates? It's no surprise that D.C. is very anti-gun and consequently has a very high crime rate. As some of you may know, the D.C. gun ban is making its way through the Supreme Court this year.

Here's a novel idea. Let people protect themselves. Let them bear arms. Let freedom ring. Then watch the crime rates go down.

Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less!

Gas prices are high, and it's not the oil companies' fault as the Congress wants you to believe. Congress, pressured by environmental lobbyists, are preventing us from becoming energy independent by thwarting exploration in the name of the Global Warming HOAX. Not only that, the oil companies make only a 4% profit margin (much less than other corporations) on each gallon of gasoline sold while the government makes 20% in taxes for doing absolutely nothing to produce, refine, or distribute the oil. And they have the gall to drag oil executives in to a Senate hearing and point fingers at them for their profits??? It's all about demagoguing for votes. You and I are paying for Congress' inaction and ineptness. If you're fed up, do something about it.

Glenn Beck Speaks at the 2008 NRA Annual Meeting - A True Patriot!

I love Glenn Beck...even though I have to watch him on CNN. He's fed up with our government, and so am I! Here he is speaking at the 2008 NRA annual meetings. Be sure to tune in to part 2 where he quotes our Founding Fathers on the 2nd Amendment. I wish I lived during the founding of this country. How refreshing it would be to live where men were truly free...you know, the give me liberty or give me death attitude...not this quasi freedom we fool ourselves into believing we have secured as Americans today.

Outrageous

We really have lost control of our government. Not only are our federal government representatives driving luxury cars on our dime among other things, FOX News is running a special on pork spending tonight at 8pm. It highlights two Republicans and one Democrat (Don't tell me FOX isn't fair and balanced). It details how they used bill earmarks for personal gain.

Will this be enough to eradicate the apathy people have about the government who controls them every day? I doubt it. I'm sure Desperate Housewives will take precedent. Folks, that's the reason our country is in trouble today, and that's the reason these government officials can get away with this. We the people don't hold our government accountable any longer.

Maxine Waters - Congress' Brightest Member

How do dumb, socialist, democrats like this get elected to Congress? How can citizens run to the polls in droves to vote for people who are anti-freedom, ergo anti-American?

Amen to Shell's President! Democrats love to place the blame on someone else and yet they are the ones who write bills which prohibit drilling and refining in our own country, thus keeping supply low and prices high.

Maxine Waters is doing this all for show. She wants to be able to go back to her ignorant constituents and tell them she fought "big oil". This buys her votes, and then she'll get re-elected and continue to represent those same ignorant constituents in Congress for another term. It's all about demagoguing. See post below for proof.

Finally A Democrat Admits...

...they are in the business of demagoguing in order to gain power. So, here we have Rep. Kanjorski saying they (Democrats) knew good and well they couldn't end the war, but they played on the ignorance of the dumb masses in America and got the votes they wanted. Despicable.

It's hard to make out what he says, but here it is..."That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn't true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts...and people ate it up."

The courts make the right decisions every now and again

Texas authorities overstepped their bounds when they seized 400 kids from the polygamist sect says an appeals court. These people were weird, but that doesn't give the government the right to seize their children. It's just another example of the government abusing its power. As 2008 Constitutional Party Presidential Candidate, Chuck Baldwin, said about the similar Waco incident in 1993, "God-given, constitutional liberties apply to every American, even those who are considered strange or unconventional. Under no circumstances must we allow federal agencies (or any other agencies, for that matter) to circumvent the laws of our nation that protect individual life and liberty."

Hooray for Government Schools

How pathetic. Almost half of GA 8th graders failed the CRCT test...40% to be exact. That means that 40% of 8th graders can't go on to 9th grade. In addition, when it comes to 6th and 7th grade Social Studies, 70-80% of the students did NOT pass. Could it be that the government does such a poor job teaching kids about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and American Government in general so that they grow up uninformed about American History and are easier to govern???? I don't think it's a coincidence, but you can draw your own conclusion. These students are the future of America. For God sakes parents, get your children out of Government Schools.

HB89

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue signed HB89 into law a couple days ago. HB89 says that CCW license holders can carry concealed handguns on public transit. MARTA bus drivers had been complaining that if the law was signed, they would demand bullet proof glass because they were afraid they would be shot by law-abiding citizens. I bet this bus driver wished there was someone on his bus who was legally carrying a concealed weapon when this happened. Just a note, this was in Milwaukee, not Atlanta, but nevertheless, it illustrates the point.



Not only that, but in Atlanta news today, a man kidnapped a woman at gunpoint from a MARTA bus. As of July 1st, that woman will be allowed to protect herself on public transit.

2nd Amendment

Charlton Heston, former President of the NRA, once said "From my cold, dead hands!" Is that just a saying to make us "feel" like free citizens?

Government, by force, seized firearms from law abiding citizens in Louisiana after Katrina and nobody stood up to the government. Yes, what the government did was later found unconstitutional, but the fact is, they trampled over Louisianans' constitutional rights. Perhaps it was a test to see if citizens would revolt. Today's government is far different than the government of our Founding Fathers. In those days the government feared its citizens, today the citizens fear the government. It just goes to show what over 200 years of apathy does to increase the size, scope, and power of government. Where are the Patrick Henrys of today? In his words,

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may
take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Read his words carefully. Really think about those words for a second. Is there anybody out there this day in age who would rather live free or die? Or do Americans not value liberty anymore...just a "just master"? Ask yourself a question...If the government came for your guns as they did after Katrina, would you willingly give them up? Or, forget the 2nd Amendment, what if the government infringed on any of your other rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights? Would you permit it?

Be self sufficient

Many people put their trust in the government everyday. I say, be self sufficient. Only rely on yourself. And this is why...



And there are more stories like this that happen all the time.

Bob Barr enters the Presidential race!

Decisions, decisions. Now I have to choose between Chuck Baldwin or Bob Barr for President. Many Republicans are upset at Barr because they fear he will take away McCain's votes. I hope he does! I want Republicans to keep losing until they finally realize many Americans want us to return to limited government and maximum liberty and will choose the candidate who best represents those interests. In response to those who claim Bob Barr will take votes away from McCain, Barr states, "If Senator McCain does not succeed in winning the presidency ... it will be because Senator McCain did not present, and his party did not present, a vision, an agenda, a platform and a series of programs that actually resonated positively with the American people." Well said Bob!

Gag order on 2nd Amendment

Is the US Constitution officially a piece of kindling? Are we no longer a nation of law? New York City wants to prevent the 2nd Amendment from being brought up in its trial where it is suing a gun shop owner. That's right, they don't want the 2nd Amendment to be discussed in a trial dealing with guns. Are they afraid their case won't stand up to the supreme law of the land? It's completely unbelievable. The gun shop owner's lawyer said it best..."If you can’t discuss the Bill of Rights in a court of law, where should we discuss these issues? Should we reserve it for the tavern?”

50 Nifty United States...

The "General Welfare" clause

I'm currently reading Ron Paul's new book titled 'The Revolution: A Manifesto' which debuted at #1 on Amazon.com's bestseller list. It's a great book which discusses the usurpation of the U.S. Constitution by our Federal Government. I'm currently reading Chapter 3, appropriately titled 'The Constitution'.

As this election year presses on, debates strike up between me and my liberal friends regarding the unconstitutional laws which are drafted by Congress and the unconstitutional ideas that this Congress and our Presidential Candidates have in store for the future. As soon as I point out a bill or law which is unconstitutional, no matter how flattering the bill may be, the first thing my liberal friends fall back on is the "General Welfare" Clause which they believe gives Congress free reign to "promote the general welfare".

In his book, Paul quotes James Madison on this issue. Who better to answer questions on the General Welfare clause than James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution"? I mean, can liberals really argue with the man who wrote the words?

Regarding the clause, Madison is quoted by saying, "If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular expressions." In addition, he says, "With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."

So as you can see, the intent behind the General Welfare clause, explained by the man who wrote it, was not to give free reign to Congress. If that was the intent, then why spell out all specific powers enumerated to the Congress in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution?

Sadly, over the last half of our country's lifespan, Americans have sat by and let Congress grow more and more powerful and government as a whole grow bigger and bigger. And we keep voting the politicians into office under the premise that you had no choice but to vote for the lesser of two evils. And then when Ron Paul makes speeches or participates in debates, people listen to him and think he's off the wall. We've become so indoctrinated and desensitized that we won't even listen to a true patriot. Ron Paul is not in politics for power like most politicians. He truly cares for this country and the Constitution. Unlike other politicians, he has the voting record to back that up. Yes, there were a few bad apples who supported Paul who made the news by acting badly, but most supporters, I believe, are those who yearn for maximum Godly liberty as our Founding Fathers intended.

Will Americans continue to sit by and watch this great country head closer and closer towards Socialism under the pretense that our Constitution is a "living document" and can be interpreted however politicians see fit?

Thomas Jefferson said, Constitutions "may be violated in moments of passion and delusion", but "they furnish a text to which those who are watchful may again rally and recall the people".

CCTV boom has failed to slash crime, say police

I've been saying this forever...like the old adage says, if you put a frog in boiling water it will jump right out of the pot, but put a frog in cold water and turn the heat up slowly, it will sit there and die. That's exactly what governments across the world are doing in the form of watching your every move via CCTV cameras. They've been putting cameras up everywhere in the "interest" of the public, whether it be for traffic reports, red-light runners, safety, etc. But they don't do it all at once. They turn up the heat little by little to the point where we frogs become desensitized to their actions and don't mind cameras at all. Well, in the crime arena, it looks like cameras in the UK don't seem to thwart crime at all. Moreover, the cameras have only solved 3% of street crime. So now that we know they are essentially useless, do you think the government will stop using the cameras? I'm asking rhetorically of course. When will people stand up and reclaim their liberties?

Unbelievable

Democrat Chuck Schumer and the rest of the democrat-led Congress are at it again. Not only do they drag all the oil executives in to explain their profits, now they're dragging in farmers and bakers to explain why their profits are so high. Yes, gas is expensive (although cheap when compared to the rest of the world), and yes food prices are on the increase. But let's look at why this is.

The government makes a 20% "profit" from each gallon of gasoline sold via taxes. This means they do absolutely nothing to purchase, refine, or distribute the gas, yet they make 20% off each gallon of gasoline sold. Second, the democrats with their environmentalist friends prevent the US from becoming self sufficient b/c they pass laws preventing us from drilling for oil on our own soil (ANWR, off the Gulf Coast). Then they pass laws mandating a special blend of gas during the summer because of the Global Warming myth which costs more to refine, which in turn, increases the price of gas.

And with food, because of "Global Warming", the government is pushing ethanol, so they're subsidizing corn farmers who make ethanol. What does this mean? Less corn to feed cattle, less corn to feed people, which causes a ripple effect. Price of meat goes up, price of milk goes up, etc. etc.

So who is causing this increase in prices?? Your ever-so-wise government (the same incompetent people who have a monopoly on our educational system). And Chuck Schumer has the audacity to grill the oil execs, farmers, and bakers and demand to know why they are making so much money???? Are you kidding me???? His policies are the cause of it all!

On YOUR Dime: Congressmen Lease Luxury Cars

This is an outrage and it exemplifies the fact we no longer have a government of the people and by the people. It's all about power in Washington DC.

Take good ole liberal democrat, Congressman Charles Rangel. This man is on the House Ways and Means Committee. He decides whether or not your taxes will go up. In fact, there has been a lot of talk about it and he wants to raises taxes in America. Well, it's not hard to wonder why when he is driving around in a Cadillac DeVille on your dime. He wants you to pay more so he can ride around in his luxury vehicle. If that isn't bad enough, liberals consistently whine about "Global Warming" and "record profits" for the gas companies, and yet this man has the audacity to drive around with an 8-cylinder engine. The hypocrisy is amazing.

It's nice to see the younger generation standing up for personal liberty, the 2nd Amendment, and the right to self defense.

Ronald Reagan

I borrowed this video from my buddy's blog. Listen to the words of Ronald Reagan back in 1964. It took place about 30 years after Socialism reared its ugly head in America back in the 1930's, and yet it seems absolutely nothing has changed even today. Ronald Reagan speaks of the same things our politicians talk about today and it has been over 40 years since Reagan made this speech. It's absolutely mind boggling that We the People haven't taken up arms and taken this country back from our unproductive, oppressive government.

Stepping away from politics for a second...

I wanted to take a second and share this website with everyone who reads my blog. I've passed it along before, but every now and again, it's good to refresh your memories.

Kirk Cameron, whom most of you will remember as Mike Seaver in the 80's hit show 'Growing Pains' and his friend Ray Comfort have created an excellent Christian website that I think everyone should check out. It's called www.wayofthemaster.com. Click here to check it out.

The website is for Christians, aspiring Christians, and non-believers. The most important decision you can ever make in your life is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Without him, you will perish in Hell for eternity. For me, just the thought of everlasting torment with no hope of relief is a terrifying thought. So please, take a minute and check the website out. There is also a good question and answer series. Click here to see Questions and Objections. Click here to go to In Depth Comments.

I hope all who read this will check the website out. God bless!

Romans 10:9 (New International Version)

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Obama's morals

He's going to teach his children about values and morals, but he doesn't want them to be "punished" with a baby if one of them gets pregnant. One can deduce that he would just drive them down to the local abortion clinic. Forget about living with your decisions and taking responsibility for your own actions. Nah, everybody is a victim these days, especially when you talk to democrats.

Our wonderful government schools...

are failing more than 50% of students in many cities. Wow, what an excellent job our government monopoly on education is doing with our next generation. And millions of parents across the nation continue to send their children to these failing schools. They take their prize possession(s) and turn them over to the government to be indoctrinated.



Is there any reason to believe otherwise when the CEO of AT&T says he can't find skilled US workers?

And one more thing...is it just a coincidence that Karl Marx's (The father of Communism) Communist Manifesto lists "free public education" as a way to end capitalism and enact socialism followed by communism? I don't think so. The government controls education, they decide what is to be taught, they allow terrible drop out rates, and eventually we have drop outs on welfare and liberal indoctrinated graduates...most of which will vote democrat because the democrats take from the haves and give it to the have nots. It's all about power.

No wonder Democrats are doing so well...

Voters are government dependent. How pathetic America is getting.

One in 6 West Virginians are on food stamps

One in 8 Michigans are on food stamps as the number of Americans receiving food stamps is projected to reach 28 million in the coming year, the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.

Presidential Candidate Qualifications

Just a quick note. I get so tired of hearing about a presidential candidate's military experience and foreign policy experience. Although important, it seems as if these days it is the main thing on a person's resume that qualifies him/her to become president. It seems this war on terror is the only issue of importance to this country anymore...well to Republicans that is. Democrats just want to know how much money they're going to get from the government and when they're going to get it.

Why don't we hear any presidential candidate talk about liberty? Liberty, that's that beautiful concept this great country was founded upon. Give me a presidential candidate whose main purpose for running for president is to protect and promote Godly liberty, and I'll stand behind that candidate 100%.

Work Harder, Millions on Welfare Depend on You!

It may just be a bumper sticker slogan, but my how those words ring true when we learn that nearly one in 10 Ohioans receive food stamps. We are moving closer and closer towards the great state of Socialism. God help us!

Another lying Clinton

There must be some type of lying chromosome somewhere in the Clinton genetic makeup. Doesn't matter though. Democrats all over the nation will continue to come out in full force and support her.

Constitution Party

Why vote for the lesser of two evils? Vote Constitution Party...the only party that is 100% Life, Liberty, and Limited Government.

Obama on "Typical White People"

The more and more we hear about this firestorm that has been brewing about race and Obama's preacher, the more we are seeing Obama's true colors.

Moochers

"It is not fair! We deserve fair housing!" "We need housing, equal opportunity housing." Listen ladies. You only deserve what you earn!! These moochers feed off the taxpayers. Instead of waiting around for free housing, why don't they spend that effort and energy looking for a job and supporting themselves. I know it's not politically correct, but I don't care. I'm sorry, they made their bed, they'll have to sleep in it. And for those who think I'm against the poor, I'm not. I'm against moochers. If you're poor and you work hard, I salute you. Proverbs 10:4.

Obama's inspiration

Wow. This is the man who has been an inspiration to Obama? The man who inspired his book? The man who married him? The man who has been his pastor for two decades? At some point you have to wonder why Obama would feel comfortable in the presence of this man for over two decades. He must share the same views. This is just amazing.

More Government School stories

Four year old handcuffed for not taking a nap.

Your kids belong to the government, not you!

"Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children" says Justice H. Walker Croskey. The judge further wrote, "A primary purpose of the educational system is to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare." What a twisted view of the general welfare clause of the Constitution. Which Constitution are these judicial activists who legislate from the bench reading from? First off, there is no Constitutional right to education. The Department of Education is unconstitutional. Second, the Constitution protects the rights of the people and limits the power of the government, not the other way around. This judge is sorely mistaken. Our children belong to us, not the government. The problem with Constitutional law is that lawyers and judges focus more on case law than they do on focusing on what the Constitution states and focusing on the writings of the Founding Fathers written around the formation of the Constitution.

Furthermore, who was happy about the decision? The Teacher's Union. "We're happy," said Lloyd Porter, who is on the California Teachers Association board of directors. "We always think students should be taught by credentialed teachers, no matter what the setting." You mean the same credentialed teachers who are sleeping with their students, dumbing down standards to pass more kids, and even teachers who are functionally illiterate? Are those the credentialed teachers we're talking about? The bottom line is that this is job security for the teacher's union employees. Don't believe for one minutes that the union cares about the education of the students. It's about jobs.

Government Schools

I haven't been posting the foolishness that goes on daily in Public Schools, but I think I'll start. I have family members who are teachers, and I know some teachers really are truly passionate about education, but the system as a whole is badly broken. So, my postings may make you mad, but know I still love you :)

Some stuff is just ridiculous. Prosecuting 5 and 6 year olds for kissing? Government Schools at their best.

THIS IS GETTING DEPRESSING

I think that we should give this election a theme. Now I know that the politicians are all using the "change" word. That word was tested in front of focus groups around the country and really rang the bells. Hillary, Barack ... change, change, change. How pathetically stupid. If someone tells you they're going to "change" something, wouldn't you be just the least bit curious as to what in the hell they are going to change from and to? But wait .. that would take a sense of inquisitiveness, wouldn't it?

So .. we need another theme. May I propose that we call this the "What can my country do for me?" election?

• Give me health care.
• Give me prescription drugs.
• Make them raise my salary.
• Make them bring my job back.
• Give me lifetime job security.
• Pay my heating bill
• Make my gasoline cheaper
• Pay for my kid's college education
• Give me a comfortable retirement
• Give me free transportation

Just listen to these candidates. They never talk about freedom. They never talk about self-reliance. They only talk about all of the great and wonderful things that they will do for you if you just give them the power of government to get those things done. And do you know why this is? It's because that seems to be all we're interested in; what the government can do for us.

This morning I heard the National Anthem being played on a radio station at 6:00 . "Land of the free and the home of the brave?" Well, OK .. there's certainly some left. But more an more we're becoming the "Land of the secure and the home of the dependent." We're turning America into a giant assisted living center.

I'm really sorry to say this, but this nation is in trouble ... much like a beautiful home infested with mold. The mold just relentlessly spreads with no abatement in site. How long before we have to tear things down and rebuild? The mold? Government dependence. Mitt Romney referred to it as a sickness ... Government dependence is a sickness. Well, the sickness is spreading.

Just listen to the election rhetoric. Here's what I want the government to do for me. You'll certainly hear much more of that then you will any call for freedom and independence.

Really sad.
