2011-07-08T12:35:00.002-04:00

So i thought, what the hell, i'll launch my ideas out and see what people think and if people would be interested in helping.First off, my idea for the future of the blog is one that will remain on the task of retaining, recouping or rebuilding our rights

.........Is this thing on?

2011-07-05T13:46:00.003-04:00

Well, welcome back. Or should i say that to myself. As you can tell it has been a long time since this blog has been active. And there has been a few reasons as to why.Beginning in September of 2009 I became the Chairman of the Spartanburg County Libertarian Party.

My Letter to a Principal

2009-09-02T11:54:00.004-04:00

This is a letter just written to the principal of the school that two of my children go to addressing what i read today about Obama wanting to address the school kids on September 8th.Hey Mr Henson,Thank you for your quick response. I am glad to hear that you would like to hear the perspectives of the parents on matters. This is a key of how our democracy works, which i fear more people are

The Birth Certificate

2009-08-26T11:33:00.004-04:00

Well i just recieved an email just a little bit ago. It is from a very trusted source.As most people know, there has been a big thing going on about Obama's birth certificate. This is an issue that has been brewing since early on in the last presidential campaign. Many have spent a huge amount of money trying to investigate this issue. Because as most people know, if our current president does

An Interesting Thing to Find

2009-08-16T07:21:00.002-04:00

I was down at the Spartanburg County Courthouse on Friday. I know for most people, when you mention this fact you can get some pretty interesting reactions. But then when you tell them it was for Political Purposes, you can get some funny looks. Most don't have any clue why anyone would want to fight in the realm of politics in this country. But what they don't realize is this, If it weren't

A Big Thank You!

2009-08-11T20:18:00.003-04:00

A little bit ago i was going through the Tracking for this blog, and i was pleasantly surprised. I want to first thank everyone that come to my little dusty ill lit corner of the web. I know there is so much on the web that each of you could be doing, but you visiting here to see what i have to say, it stuns me.So i wanted to take the time to give my thanks to each of you. And i must say i was

An Official Message!

2009-08-11T12:09:00.003-04:00

Yesterday i recieved this email from a member of the National Libertarian Party about HR 3200 (aka The Obama Deathcare System). It starts off talking about the Public Outcry over this Bill and how the Politicians are reacting to it. There is also a link in it that the Libertarian Party would love for you to print off and try to get your Congressional Representatives to sign.I say lets all try

My Rants and Raves.... Well mainly Rants!

2009-08-07T10:41:00.004-04:00

I thought with as much as is going on here lately that i just need Rant or Vent on the current state of the affairs in this country. So i thought, what the heck, why not just do a post and combine them all into one post. So here i go.Bob InglisI was informed a few days ago about the Town Hall Meeting our Politician was having in Boiling Spring by a great young lady. Unfortunately i got the dates

Revenge of the Media Whores

2009-08-06T19:02:00.002-04:00

Well leave it up to our Former Chief Media whore and his minions of Media Call Girls to come in and save the day.Yesterday our former president had to come in and save the day for our nation, and our current president. Not one to let his name fall far from our ears, he had to come in and save the day for 2 Americans being held in North Korea.I'm sure everyone knows of the story of these two

The Intentions were Admirable

2009-08-05T12:00:00.002-04:00

Well i read a report this morning about a group of Federal Judges that have given the State of California 45 days to come up with a working solution to reduce the number of state inmates to a more acceptable range. The 33 prisons in California are housing inmates at a rate of 300% above the intended population.When i first saw this is must saw i was excited. You mean there will actually be a

What...Expect them to do their jobs?

2009-07-29T13:16:00.002-04:00

We all know that we elect politicians to basically do our Political Bidding, or at least that is the way it is SUPPOSED to be. They are elected to represent us in our government. And as we all know, they are required to vote on laws that will effect us all. And as a elected representative, they are elected to vote on behalf of the voting citizenry in their districts. And as common sense has

Political Differences

2009-07-25T14:17:00.002-04:00

I have been thinking a good bit here lately about what the differences between the political parties. At least the 2 branches of the one political party, and my party of choice, the libertarians. And you could go on for days about the differences between the three. But it hit me this morning and what hit me was in very easy terms.RepublicansThe Republicans believe you should have the right to

Political Economics 101

2009-07-17T11:47:00.003-04:00

I read a report today that makes me really scratch my head in utter disbelief. It really just shows how disconnected our politicians are from reality. The reality of economics.Joe "I need a muzzle" Biden was speaking to an AARP group about healthcare. And what he says just really highlites the lengths to which our Elected Officials have gone to get away from responsible decision making, not

The Soon To Be Shrinking Social Class

2009-07-16T12:43:00.002-04:00

All throughout history, the masses have been against one group or social class. It is one fact that will never change. Whites and Blacks against each other, Protestants against Catholics, Greeks against Persians, Communists against Capitolists, and in the current era there are two that the masses are against the Rich and big Business.Everytime i turn around i am hearing that the rich in this

The United States of Entitlement... Part 1

2009-07-15T15:00:00.002-04:00

Catchy little title, but it is so true. It is utterly stunning how fast the Entitlement populace has exploded and now we have everyone thinking that they are owed everything. That they shouldn't have to work for a damn thing. It is ridiculous.What happened to the days of having to work hard to EARN what possessions you have. But those days are long gone. Now everyone thinks that they should

My Take

2009-07-14T12:34:00.002-04:00

The media recently is once again acting like a teenager in love. We have seen it more in the past year then in anytime in history. First it was with Obama, a love affair which has yet to end, but i feel it will once they all realize that all of the "saviour's" claims and promises will not happen.But this time its all ga-ga over Sonia Sotomayor's Confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill. I am

Well Its Official....Sort Of.

2009-07-11T21:15:00.002-04:00

Well today was the day. Today was the day that we met to officially start the Spartanburg branch of the Libertarian Party. Something that i have been wanting to be a part of since early last year. But unfortunately alot of things kept me from getting the ball rolling. So when i got an email from Doug Taylor, from the Anderson County Branch, about the launch, I must say i was starting to get

Der Fuhrer Has Spoken!

2009-05-20T12:22:00.002-04:00

Well i saw a report today that really got my blood pressure up. Well it was actually one of many, but this is the first one i saw. It is about Israel and our Fuhrer Messiah.Obama has called for Israel settlements in the West Bank to stop building their settlements. He is demanding that Israel halt these settlements from being built, because in his small mind he believes that this will halt the

2009-05-08T15:38:00.001-04:00

Administration wants to resume building a virtual fence. This is hilarious. Lets not spend money on an actual fence to stop illegal immigration. Lets just build one where we can see them when they do. Thats the ticket. Thats like me being a virtual millionaire.

2009-05-08T06:36:00.001-04:00

why is it ok for law enforcement to disregard the laws and hit someone, but if anyone else does, people want to make an example of them.

2009-05-08T06:34:00.003-04:00

but a trooper hits a walker last night, are you going to be as quick to put out his record.

2009-05-08T06:34:00.001-04:00

here's one for the media. Ludwig runs off the road and hits a house killing a man and you are quick to put out his past driving record.

2009-05-07T10:13:00.001-04:00

Why is it that politicians swear never to raise taxes on the poor. But they are hellbent on raising taxes on Cigarettes, when the poor are the largest percentage of smokers. Yet another political lie.

Is the White House a den of idiots?

2009-05-04T19:31:00.002-04:00

I remember back during the last two presidential terms of the comedic content that the president gave to late night talk shows and comedians of the day.GW flubbed up everything imaginable. And the comedians were all over it. Not letting up if thier lives depended on it. And rightfully so.But one thing that makes me wonder is where are those same comedians with the current administration? Oh

Loose Lips

2009-05-04T18:45:00.004-04:00

I've heard the phrase "Loose Lips Sink Ships" for years. And it has always proven itself to be a true statement.And for the past 100 years our politicians have been tight lipped about their hell bent want to take us down the road to Socialism. Even during the days of blasting Adolf Hitler for his Socialist Regime in Germany, FDR was trying to steer us down that road.But never has there been a

Panic, It does the Government Good!

2009-04-30T12:19:00.002-04:00

Well lets see, over the past week we have been bombarded by the Media Propagandists about the Swine Flu. Now don't get me wrong, the swine flu might be something nasty to get, just like the regular flu, or pneumonia. But it defintely doesn't constitute the portrayal in the media.But lets think for a minute. Why are we bombarded by this information? Its disproportional if you ask me. how many

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT!!!!!!!

2009-04-15T20:02:00.002-04:00

Ok, to everyone, sorry for the lack of posts here. I know some have thought that i fell off of the political wagon so to speak. Well in a way i guess i did. Life had become a little overwhelming for me lately. Not to mention just down about the whole political landscape of this country. And when i get down or overwhelmed, i lack the inspiration to write. And if i don't have the inspiration,

The Official Libertarian Response

2009-01-12T21:05:00.003-05:00

Here is an Official Party Response to Bush's term as President. A man that i was supportive of during his first term. But have since come to see what his presidency has meant for this country. Which frankly is not going to change with the next President. But i have digressed. Here is the email.
