Supporting Ron Paul Half Way
I hear this over and over again: "I support Ron Paul's economic policy but not his foreign policy," or "I support Ron Paul's foreign policy but not his economic policy." The thing is, you can't do that if you really understand both policies. You can't agree with one and reject the other. They go hand in hand. His fiscal policies of ending [...]
Getting The Hell Outta Dodge
"Of all 36 ways to get out of trouble, the best way is - leave." - Chinese Proverb I thought there would be a line in the sand, but it's been more of a blur, a change in the texture, a change in the atmosphere that most seem not to notice. I suppose that if I had seen soldiers in the streets or heard martial law being declared that that would [...]
Rick Perry For President! A Stroke Of Genius!
Although a lot of Republicans see through Rick Perry, especially those from Texas, he’s being touted as the one who’ll beat Obama. Of course the one Republican candidate who speaks for liberty and the Constitution, against the wars on poverty, drugs, and terrorism, tells the truth about social security and the FED and other issues young [...]
Give To Don Corleone What Is Don Corleone’s
Vinnie and Louie were walking down the street on their rounds to collect protection money for don Corleone, when they saw Jesse. "Man, I hate that guy. Since he's been around, nobody shows us no respect no more," said Vinnie. "They never respected us," said Louie. "I know that! But to our faces, they did. They were scared of us." "They [...]
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, and the Espionage Act
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” ~Ron Paul On TV I heard a question from a reporter, a question sounding more like a demand than a question, asking why the State should not prosecute Julian Assange for treason under the Espionage Act. That question along with calls for his assassination by politicians and reporters is more than [...]
On Dismissing Conspiracy Theories
"Politics is the conspiracy of the unproductive but organized against the productive but unorganized." ~Joseph Sobran It is frustrating to be dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist" when the police state is becoming so obvious. It is unnerving to read the journals and accounts of Germans in the 1930s as they witnessed Hitler's raise and [...]
To Fly or Not To Fly
“The first principle of non-violence is the non-compliance with everything that is humiliating.” ~Mohandas K. Gandhi I don't even know where to begin, I'm so appalled. Flying in the US is bad enough, but now the new TSA policies regarding the full body scanners and pat downs have crossed the line. We shouldn't have put up with the [...]
The Morpheus Proposal
by Jim Davidson When we first meet her, the character Trinity is in a room numbered 303. Throughout the film, "The Matrix" there is a delightful motif of numbers. A little later, we meet the character "Neo" who, we are told is "the one." Obviously, Neo is an anagram of "one." We meet him for the first time in his room, 101.Numbers play a key role [...]
We The People
In 1776, we declared our independence from Great Britain. We successfully won the war and later adopted a constitution in 1787. Yet, while we were fighting for our freedom, we were enslaving others. We fought the French, the Barbary pirates, and the British again in 1812. We fought Mexico and through war, diplomacy, and money gained half her [...]
The Line In The Sand
In the first week of March 1836, William B. Travis told his troops at the old Misión San Antonio de Valero, known in history as The Alamo, that reinforcements would not be arriving. He then unsheathed his sword and drew a line in the ground, asking those who would remain and fight to cross it. Jim Bowie, bedridden with typhoid, asked that his bed [...]
Alan Greenspan, What Happened To The Man Who Wrote: “Gold And Economic Freedom”?
"The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake.” ~Alan Greenspan While searching through some books on gold and the economy several of them mentioned Alan Greespan's essay "Gold and Economic Freedom." Ron Paul also [...]
Emergency Alert to Small Business: How One Clause of “Jobs Bill” Could Wipe Out Small Business in America Tomorrow!
By Wayne Allyn Root I am an economic refugee from California. I escaped to Nevada with my family, my business and my life a decade ago. It was either run for my life, or die trying. I escaped because of the impossible business climate - the highest income and business taxes in the country, the highest workers comp taxes, out of [...]
Prohibiting The Call Of Nature
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies." ~Groucho Marx I arrived in Honolulu yesterday. It's good to be back. As much as I love Texas, I feel more at home in Hawai'i. The sad thing, however, is watching the deterioration of Hawai'i's economy and its [...]
Kabul has never ruled Afghanistan
By Carlo Ungaro The inauguration of Afghanistan’s president Karzai, in a capital city turned into a deserted fortress for the occasion, has doubtlessly constituted one of the very lowest points in the painful history of the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan and its dreadful follow-up. As I observed over my 16 years in the country, the Afghans [...]
Throwing The Bums Out Is Not Enough
“The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.” ~Harry Browne Woo hoo! Hot Damn! Yee haw! Arlen Specter got kicked out. Rand Paul wins, and that woman from Arkansas with the vile name is forced into a run off. If she had completely lost it would have been an "A+" day. Instead it [...]
