God Bless him for running. He truly gives conservatives a real choice for President. He's currently not on the ballot in GA, but hopefully he will be.

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...
...from 13 original colonies (a song we sang in Elem. School) -- Or wait, we must have added 7 states from that time until now without me catching it. I must not have been paying attention.

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.
