One more reason why Romney sucks


Give a listen


While this cooks Romney's goose with me, it doesn't do anything to help McCain. He is worse then Romney! One can only wonder why he runs as a republican. He clearly is a liberal.

Ron Paul Fights to Block Congressional Pay Raises

Congressman Ron Paul is an original cosponsor on legislation proposed by Representative Harry Mitchell (AZ-5) to block Members of Congress from receiving the automatic pay adjustment scheduled to take effect in 2009.

“With all the waste going on in government, the dollar losing its purchasing power, the collapse of the housing bubble, the economy is really struggling. We Members of Congress should not be padding our pocketbooks when our constituents are tightening their belts,” stated Congressman Paul.

The bill was introduced yesterday and so far Congressman Paul is the only cosponsor. Congressman Paul famously returns a portion of his congressional office budget to the Treasury. He recently estimated he would be able to return $75,000 from last year’s office budget. He also refuses to participate in the lucrative pension program that Congress has awarded itself.

Ron Paul Unveils a REAL Economic Stimulus Plan

Four-pronged approach will strengthen the economy by reforming taxes, cutting spending, improving monetary policy and eliminating burdensome regulations

January 24, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA –Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has unveiled a comprehensive economic revitalization package. The four-pronged plan is designed to stem the current economic slide and address the unsound governmental policies that are harming Americans’ pocketbooks.

“Real economic reform must address the underlying reasons for the current economic malaise,” said Ron Paul. “This plan is more than just a band-aid for our economy; it fundamentally reforms four areas where government policies are damaging our national economy. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus, and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity.”


The comprehensive economic revitalization plan is available online at: http://www.RonPaul2008.com/Prosperity.

The four areas that the plan covers are:

1. Tax Reform: Reduce the tax burden and eliminate taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes.

2. Spending Reform: Eliminate wasteful spending. Reduce overseas commitments. Freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.

3. Monetary Policy Reform: Expand openness with the Federal Reserve and require the Fed to televise its meetings. Return value to our money.

4. Regulatory Reform: Repeal Sarbanes/Oxley regulations that push companies to seek capital outside of US markets. Stop restricting community banks from fostering local economic growth.

Congressman Paul has written or co-sponsored numerous bills to enact the policies in his plan. In Congress, he has been a champion of lower taxes and limited government.

Congressman Paul is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. In Congress, Dr. Paul has never voted for a tax increase or for an unbalanced budget. Read the full article »

Ron Paul - 2nd place in Lousiana

Despite this good news, the GOP apparently will stop at nothing to derail Dr. Paul.

As reported in Ballot Access News, "It appears that Ron Paul supporters outnumbered the supporters of any of his opponents. But since this was predicted, the supporters of Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, cooperated to set up a "fusion" slate of unpledged candidates for Delegate. The "fusion" slate, labeled the "Pro-Life/Pro-Family" slate, beat the Ron Paul slate in each of the 7 U.S. House districts. Formally, the "fusion" slate billed itself as an "uncommitted" slate, and no one really knows how many supporters of each presidential candidate are on the fusion slate, except the campaigns themselves."

According to the Louisiana GOP, preliminary results indicate that an "uncommitted 'Pro-Life/Pro-Family' slate appears to have won a majority of delegates in all seven congressional districts."

This unprecedented uniting of GOP candidates to stop Ron Paul clearly shows that the GOP agenda is apparently to stop Ron Paul at all costs.

A poem from Mother's collection

I came across this and thought it worth sharing.

The years have taught me many things
But none so sure as this,
That shelter, solace, joy and strength
Are always where God is.

So now, when hope and courage fail
And only fear is strong,
My heart will sing as in the past,
an unforgotten song.

God is my refuge and my strength,
I will not be afraid,
And though the night be wild and dark,
I'll meet it undismayed.

You won't hear this in the MSM

"If you don't trust gold, do you trust the logic of taking a pine tree, worth $4,000-$5,000, cutting it up, turning it into pulp, putting some ink on it and then calling it one billion dollars?"
- Kenneth J. Gerbino

They are not telling you that the Federal Reserve's 75 basis point cut in the interest rate is going to inflate the money supply, causing still more price inflation. Your savings will be worth less. Your pay check will buy less. And the big financial interests that have the first access to this new money will be able to buy things cheap, before the price increases hit.

The media won't tell you that this Fed inflation is theft, transferring wealth from the poor and middle class to those who are first in line to receive the Fed's funny money. Instead of telling you the truth, the media continues to blame our current economic problems on rising oil prices. But those of you who are old enough to remember the 1970s should know better . . .

The media told us the same lies in the 1970s. They told us that high oil prices were causing all other prices to rise. They told us we needed the Fed to create more and more money to boost the economy. But they created more and more new money and the boost never came. All we got were higher and higher prices, and slower and slower economic growth. They called it "stagflation" -- inflation combined with a stagnant economy.

According to the pet theories of the Establishment's so-called experts, stagflation was supposed to be impossible. But it was all too real. Now we are seeing this old pattern repeated. We have price inflation. We have companies in trouble. We have all the signs of a coming stagflation -- recession and rising prices at the same time. And once again the Establishment is giving us the same old song and dance . . .

We need the Fed to create more money, they tell us. High oil prices are the problem, they claim. And the verdict on these assertions will be the same as it was in the 1970s. The stagflation of the 1970s was only ended when the new Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volker, stopped creating new money out of thin air. Those of you who were alive then will remember . . .

The adjustment was painful. Unemployment rose to 11% for a brief period as the economy corrected itself and purged all the bad investments that had been made during the inflationary 70s. But then the economy took off again, giving us nearly 20 years of growth, and rising standards of living.

Don't drink the Establishment's poison kool-aid. The only way to reduce the pain of the coming economic correction is to stop pouring fuel on the fire. The Fed must stop creating new money. The government should also cut spending and stop borrowing, to make more real capital (not funny money) available to create jobs.

This is the only path back to economic health. It worked before, it can work now, and the sooner we start the better it will go.

Help us change the environment, both in public, and in Congress. Share this message with the others. Then tell Congress that you know the truth. Send Congress a message asking them to pass Ron Paul's "Honest Money Act," which will create conditions that will make it harder for the Fed to inflate the money supply.

Economic Stimulus? - please spare us


There is much talk recently about our economic woes.
Many of the politicians are talking about how the country needs a stimulus.
They want to give away money so that people will spend it and that will make everything better somehow.
I fail to see how that fixes anything. In fact, it will make matters worse because the money they either borrow or print to "stimulate" the economy will result in either the further debasing of the dollar and/or inflation.

If they REALLY want to stimulate the economy here is a list of things I think would help:
  • Balance the budget
  • Stop printing money
  • End the war
  • Reduce the size of government
  • Cut taxes (individual and corporate)
  • Eliminate the Death tax
  • Eliminate the AMT (Alternate Minimum Tax)
Just my humble opinion.

This has permanently changed my view of that network. I'm trying to develop a taste for some other news network, like MSNBC, or CNN or something. But wait; CNN is the network that broadcast video of an American soldier being shot by a sniper; Despicable bastards!

We are thus in the position of having to borrow from Europe to defend Europe, of having to borrow from China and Japan to defend Chinese and Japanese access to Gulf oil, and of having to borrow from Arab emirs, sultans and monarchs to make Iraq safe for democracy. We borrow from the nations we defend so that we may continue to defend them. To question this is an unpardonable heresy called 'isolationism.'

The collapse of the US Dollar

Imagine being sent forward in time from 1968 to 2008. Instead of gas costing 25 cents a gallon, it's $3.00 or more. A decent home, intead of costing $15,000, costs $250,000 or more. Imagine your shock that the average American family owes $9000 on their credit cards. Imagine entering a society where less than 2% of the cars on the road are owned by those that drive them, and less than 1% of the homes are owned by the people who live in them. Welcome to the debt based slave state of America in 2008. It is all symbolic of how the globalists have America right where they want it, and are eager to finish it off. Read the article

Mission 2008 - To become more like God

What a worthwhile goal! I was challenged this last Sunday by Tim's message based on 1 Peter 1:3-8. It's so easy to get swept up in transient issues of life and neglect what's really important. Anyway I suggest reading this slowly and think about the words.
v3 "seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

v4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

v5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge,

v6
and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, godliness,

v7 and in godliness, brotherly kindness, and in brotherly kindness, love.

v8 For if these are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Truth is not always mainstream

I suppose it's normal to get comfortable with the things you hear over and over. Then someone comes along and speaks a truth you either haven't heard before or were misinformed about. It can upset your world view.

Maybe that's why a lot of those otherwise nice, well meaning R's get their knickers in a knot when Dr. Paul says something the mainstream media and other candidates don't agree with. So rather than questioning the accuracy, they attack the messenger. Rather than dealing in facts, they turn to name calling and character assassination.

Here is an article about how some of the conservative heavyweights are speaking up for Dr. Paul.


Happy Trails

Declaration of Independence

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.
THE UNANIMOUS
DECLARATION
OF THE
THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WHEN, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

HE has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.

HE has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

HE has refused to pass other Laws for the Accommodation of large Districts of People, unless those People would relinquish the Right of Representation in the Legislature, a Right inestimable to them, and formidable to Tyranny only.

HE has called together Legislative Bodies at Places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the Depository of their public Records, for the sole Purpose of fatiguing them into Compliance with his Measures.

HE has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly Firmness his Invasions on the Rights of the People.

HE has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining, in the mean Time, exposed to all the Dangers of Invasion from without, and Convulsions within.

HE has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

HE has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

HE has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their Offices, and the Amount and Payment of their Salaries.

HE has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance.

HE has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the Consent of our Legislatures.

HE has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

HE has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

FOR quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us:

FOR protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

FOR cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World:

FOR imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

FOR depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury:

FOR transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:

FOR abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an arbitrary Government, and enlarging its Boundaries, so as to render it at once an Example and fit Instrument for introducing the same absolute Rule into these Colonies:

FOR taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

FOR suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all Cases whatsoever.

HE has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection, and waging War against us.

HE has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and destroyed the Lives of our People.

HE is, at this Time, transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the Works of Death, Desolation, and Tyranny, already begun with Circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous Ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized Nation.

HE has constrained our Fellow-Citizens, taken Captive on the high Seas, to bear Arms against their Country, to become the Executioners of their Friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

HE has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all Ages, Sexes, and Conditions.

IN every Stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury. A Prince, whose Character is thus marked by every Act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free People.

NOR have we been wanting in Attentions to our British Brethren. We have warned them, from Time to Time, of Attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the Circumstances of our Emigration and Settlement here. We have appealed to their native Justice and Magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the Ties of our common Kindred to disavow these Usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our Connexions and Correspondence. They too have been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of Consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the Rest of Mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political Connexion between them and the State of Great-Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of Right do. And for the Support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honour.
