With the upcoming election right around the corner, it seems that our basic freedoms given to us by the Constitution is in jeopardy. The socialist leaning Democratic party is already putting a plan together to start stripping rights in the event that they win the election.
They are already planning to implement the long gone Fairness Doctrine. A policy that will force television, radio, and the web to give differing viewpoints. I feel that this is a horrendous stomping on our rights. No where in the Constitution is it stated that we have the Freedom to listen to opposing speech. It gives us the right to free speech. This policy will do nothing but limit free speech in every aspect of our life, mainly through force legal wrangling by forces that oppose the things you say.
It is time that we stand up and demand our rights and fight for them. No one else will. We have to fight against these socialist demons that are trying to pull the plug on the life support to our Constitution. Life support that they have put it on.

Here Comes The Lie!
On a headline today is a quote from our President. He says that the government involvement with the bank takeover will be "Limited and Temporary".
How false this is. As i have heard from someone once before.
-There is nothing more permanent than a temporary Government Program-
Says it all, doesn't it!
Viva Liberty!

The Saga Continues
Well the saga just continues spiral out of control on the lawlessness of our government when it comes to this whole bail-out situation. I have said many times on here and to others about how this whole thing is unconstitutional, the bill was unconstitutional, the idea of socialist control is unconstitutional, not to mention will have dire consequences on us.
Well it has just gotten worse. It seems that with the government giving themselves more power has come to an all time high, with end in sight. The government is continuously hell bent on complete and absolute power over everything. The governments minions create a massive problem, and them think that they are the only ones with the answer. To Hell with us, To Hell with the Constitution, To hell with Capitalism, this is their thought and mantra.
Yesterday, the Fed called in 5 or 6 of the most major banks in this nation, and gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. It seems all to reminescent of The Godfather. Although if the banks would have refused, it wouldn't have been a horse's head in their bed, no the government would have made sure it was their head.
The fed basically told the banks that the government was buying a major interest in the banks and that there was nothing the banks could do about it. So our government has forced its way into the banking sector. What is the need for our government to do that? Control. Our government has been driving us down the Socialist highway for quite some time now, and it seems that now they have kicked the car into overdrive to speed the trip up.
The only ones that can stop this is us, the American Citizens. We can not rely on anyone else to do it for us, can we? We must stop this NOW! It is time for Americans to get off of their asses and stand up for themselves, their neighbors, their fellow citizens, their country, and THEIR CONSTITUTION!
I implore you to do what i am doing this election. Vote Libertarian! Thats what i will be doing, and i will make my voice heard. For those elections that do not have a Libertarian Candidate running i will vote for the Candidate that did not vote for this bailout. If the incumbent candidates on my ballet voted for the bail out, i will vote against them regardless of who the candidate is (thats only if there is no Libertarians on the ticket).
Stand Up, Make Your Voice Be Heard!

What An Oxymoron!
There is a report from the University of Texas about free speech. There were two roommates on campus that put up a poster in their dorm window supporting Obama. The University didn't like it and ordered the students to remove it, even though ther was another student that had put up a poster supporting McCain. The school has a rule barring posters and other items from being placed in the dorm windows, in an attempt to control how the exterior of the schools buildings look. The President of the school overturned the rule until a committee could be appointed to investigate options to the rule that would allow for the school to maintain control, without catch flack about Freedom of Speech.
When the two men in question were asked about the situation, they replied that they had the freedom of speech which allows them to display such things.
Now i will not argue against them on this point. They do have the Freedom of Speech which allows them to do things such as what they had done. Now if the school was privately funded it would have been a different matter, because it would have been on private property. But since the school is publicly funded then private property doesn't exist.
But what i think is very ironic in this whole matter is this, and i think these young men, like so many are, is that the same Freedom that they have right now, will be diminished more after this election. Both major candidates have a proven track record to not put much thought into the preservation of our rights. Look at their voting records on bills that deal with Illegal Search and Seizure. Both candidates will throw the Constitution under the bus for the furtherment of their own beliefs and their owns parties Socialistic ways.
So you are using your Freedom of Speech to speak for a person that is hell-bent on taking that right away from you!
Sounds like an Oxymoron to me!

What Does This Show You!
Well there is a headline today that states " Obama camp spending 3 to 1 over McCain on TV Advertising".
So what does this say to you?
To me it says this. Let me preface by saying that i DO NOT LIKE NOR WILL I VOTE for either one of the 2 major candidates. Read the name of my blog and you will get a hint as to who i am voting for.
I know some would say that this shows how Obama is serious about getting his message out.
- I would say that it shows a little character on McCains part. His voting record doesn't, but this does. It shows that he understands the value of a dollar, and the need to save for unforeseen problems. Now don't think i am giving him a green light as a candidate, because as a senator he has failed to show this same financial character. But people tend to act different with their own money than with other peoples money. But it does show some frugality when it comes to his own money.
-It also shows that the Obama camp is willing to spend like there is no tomorrow just for the sake of winning a lame duck position. I think it shows that he doesn't care to be somewhat frugal with his own money, that he will have far less restraint when it comes to our money.
- It shows that McCain and his camp would rather speak their mind in front of people instead on a TV screen through an ad. Obama would rather try to sway the people through propaganda techniques.
Now both candidates have failed to give any substantial plan on how to fix any of the problems we face, it is always about what the other candidate will not do.
But thats a little bit of what this says to me.

The Raid
Well as most of you have heard. There was a raid on a Columbia Farms here in the upstate here in South Carolina. The raid happened yesterday by INS and other agencies. The took around 300 illegals into custody.
On the local media here they were interviewing some family members. One Hispanic lady was worried for her family member whom she hadn't had any contact with since he was arrested. But the one that got me was this one white lady whose boyfriend had been arrested. Her response was this (paraphrased of course), They need to think more before they just go in and arrest people, they are taking away income from families, possibly making them go on government assistance since there is less money for the family to live on.
So this is my response to this lady. SO WHAT! Don't live and rely on an illegal immigrant, and this won't happen. IF YOU ARE HERE ILLEGALLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS! So to this lady, i say, you got yourself into this by being involved with someone that you knew was an illegal in this country, and that everyday there is a chance he would get caught and be deported.
Don't get me wrong. I am not against immigrants, we are all here due to immigrants. But if you come here by trying to get around the law, this is what you get. So come here by obeying the laws of this country and we will welcome you with open arms.
As for this lady, educate yourself and quit being selfish, thinking you are more important than anyone else!

Ugh!
There are a few things in this society that get my anger up. They include the way this country is run, the socialist agenda being forced on us, the whole anti-smoking campaign. But the one i am thinking about infuriates me for the simple fact that people try their hardest to force all responsibility for their action onto others.
The one i talk about is obesity. Everywhere you read or look, there is always something said about obesity. Don't eat this or you will get fat, eat this and you won't get fat. But the one that just chaps my nether region is the idea that government needs to step in and stop fast food restaurants from serving "unsafe" food, or force cereal makers to stop using Characters , or force manufacturers to put big logo's on their product to show that it is "unsafe". But who is the expert that deems these foods "unsafe".
Well today there is a report from a group that condemns the use of Characters on products. The group thinks that because these food companies use mascots, that it encourages kids to buy the product, and since they feel the products are made with too much sodium or sugar or any other item they feel threatened, this group feels that this use of mascots should be stopped.
Well let me start off by saying this. Companies use Mascots, Advertisements, Flashy packaging to catch the consumers eye and therefore increase sales. Why would they want to increase sales? Simple, to make money. A Company that doesn't make money, does exist. I know there are the ones out there that feel that any Company that makes money is an evil company (just like you hear all the time about Walmart, Microsoft, IBM, and Oil Companies). But these are the same people that would complain if they didn't have a job. Guess where jobs come from (Don't tell the politicians but it doesn't come from them), they come from companies that make money. I know that this is sacrilegious to the Socialists of today, but it is true. So companies have every right to use what ever legal means to get their name out there to increase their sales. Its economics 101, unfortunately the socialist here have tried to squash the idea. The people complaining are the same ones that would use the same advertising tactics if they owned a business.
But the more important thing to note is the fact that kids do not buy food, parents do. So even though companies do market products to younger people, this does not mean an increase in sales. Because the group being targeted have no income from which to buy things. The group that has the money is the parents.
So if kids are becoming obese in this country, barring any legitimate medical condition that might cause obesity (such as thyroid issues), it is purely the parents responsibility. If the parents do not buy sugar laden cereal, or take their children to fast food restaurants constantly for food, or allow their children to spend every waking moment in front of the TV, then guess what? You wouldn't have childhood obesity. It is purely the parents responsibility to ensure that their children grow up healthy. IT IS NOT the government's, the school's, the food manufacturers, an action group, or any one else's. It is about time for parents to be responsible adults and quit blaming every one but themselves for this problem.

Unconstitutional
Well my title says it all. But you may be asking why.
Tonight, our Senate has passed the bail out package that the house failed to pass earlier this week. A bill that by itself was Unconstitutional.
But the Senate's move clearly goes against the rule set for the government. According to the law, The House of Representatives is setup to create the bills (since the House is supposed to be the closest to the American People - thus the term House of REPRESENTATIVES, they are to the true representatives of the American people. This is why they are more numerous in coverage of the State they are from.). The House is supposed to Create, Debate, and Pass or Fail the bills. If the bill passes the House, it is then passed on to the Senate.
The Senate then and only then have the ability to discuss the bill and can then vote on the bill. If it is passed in the Senate, it is then passed on to the President, who can veto or sign the bill into law. If vetoed by the President, the Senate can vote and over ride the veto if the number of votes needed are there.
So, the Constitution does not allow for the Senate to write legislation, especially legislation dealing with financial matters.
But why should the Constitution matter to the politicians in office. It is just a piece of paper, one that has no other purpose than for them to wipe their butts with. But to the American people, it is all we have. It is all that protects us. It is all that gives us any single right that we have. And as long as we sit back like mindless idiots and not fight the tyranny, we will continue to see this great document destroyed.
This bill needs to be thrown out on the grounds of being UnConstitutional. It is our right and responsibility to fight against this. No matter what the politicians think, no matter what the media thinks we should think. No is the time to take back our country.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
If we don't stand for the Constitution, we will die by the government!
Like Jay Leno said - "Iraq, wants our constitution. We might as well give it to them since we don't have a use for it anymore." This is so true, and we are the only ones that can change it!

Why Should I Have To Pay
I saw on the news this morning something that just resparks a debate in me.
This morning the mayor of Columbia, SC was on talking about the new ban taking place in his city and how this was a responsible thing to do. We said that with smoking prohibited in restaurants that this would make these places safer and make less people sick (I paraphrased on this since i do not have the actual quote in front of me). But then he went on to say that he can not wait for a ban such as this to be statewide.
As i have said before, the government does not need and should not be involved in this. Since when is the right of one group more important than the right of another group. What is happening is non-smokers feel that they have more rights being a non-smoker than smokers have. So the public is created a second class citizen out of the smoking population. Basically telling smokers that until they become like the non-smokers they can not have the rights.
But i have digressed, as i usually do with the topic of tobacco rights.
But watching this Socialist mayor (I use that term because, i feel, anyone who is hellbent on taking a right away from another is a traveller on the Socialist/Communist freight train.) sparked another phrase pushed around by the non-smoking elitests, that infuriates me. the phrase is this; Why should i have to pay for a smokers healthcare when they get cancer? You know what you shouldn't. But i mean it differently than the elites take it. The non-smoking elites take that as meaning that i agree with the rights stripping of smokers. But they are wrong. Because i believe that you shouldn't have to pay for it because there shouldn't be a system to where you pay for others. Government healthcare such as Medicare and Medicaid should be ended. You should never pay anyone elses way on anything. Everyone should take care of themselves. That way if you want to do things that others feel are harmful, those others are not on the hook to help foot the bill.
But i will say one thing in response to the Why should have to pay crowd. With the current system we have i will say this. You don't want to pay for smokers health problems. Well neither do i. But i don't want to pay for you son who fell off of a trampoline and broke his leg. I don't want to pay for your daughter who can't drive and wrecked her car. I don't want to pay for your college student who hasn't learned that binge drinking at college is not a smart thing to do. I don't want to pay for your dog who is not bright enough to know that if it chases after a car it can get hit. I don't want to help pay for any of that, but does that mean that i condone the banning of trampolines, cars, alcohol, or animals. No, Hell No!
If it is a right than let no one take it away. Smokers, i give you a call to arms. Fight back against the tyrannical elites in this country that want to tell you what to do (But heaven forbid you push through an agenda to cut out fried foods, porn, alcohol, or anything else that you may feel is harmfull that they do). Stand Up for your rights. Fight this, and I will be standing there fighting right beside you, even though i don't smoke.
A Right is something that must be fought for, even to the death, even if you don't like it or agree with it.

A word of Caution
I would like to say a word of caution to some of the more liberal people out there.
With all this mess going on with the financial market, there has been some talk by The Messiah as of late about dealing with the CEO's of the companies being bailed out. There has been talk that the government needs to take steps to ensure that these "evil" CEO's do not get windfalls when the company is getting bailed out.
The problem with this logic is this. Most of these CEO's have these windfalls signed in contract, when they start the job. So it makes me scratch my head as to how some people want to disregard a legal binding contract because they believe that someone doesn't deserve it. Who are we to say who deserves what? Plus it is none of our right or our business as to how much these guys make. These CEO's are running publicly traded companies for the most part. So the stock holders are the ones that should say yes or no as to how much a CEO makes in that company. If you own stock, then you are an owner and you have a say where as non-owners do not.
So just think about how you would feel if others started publicly complaining about your salary, or your bonus because they didn't think you deserved it.

Get Ready
Well with the news i just heard, Get Ready to ride the Roller Coaster from Hell.
Just a few minutes ago it came across that The House Of Mis-Representatives failed to pass the massive, wasteful $700 billion bail out.
As most of you know, i have been against this since it was first talked about. I am dead set against any involvement from the government on this. Even though the government (Congress being the main culprit) was the main player in the downfall of the financial market, it doesn't need to be involved. The government bailout would only prolong the inevitable and bring about a worse financial mess 10 - 15 years down the road.
Let me reiterate why i feel this way. In 1993 under the Clintonian Institute of Lies & Bullshittery, laws were pushed through (by Democrats) to allow for low income families more access to home ownership (A noble idea on paper, especially for the Neo-Socialists in the Democratic party). Then in 1998 the law was expanded to allow for even more low income families to own homes. Then it culminated in 2000 with even more laws. Now what these laws basically did was force mortgage lenders to give money to people who did not make enough for the home they were buying, who were getting a mortgage over what they could afford, or had no capability to pay the debt back as promised. So the mortgage lenders were giving money to people that under normal circumstances would not have qualified for a mortgages. The life of these mortgage companies were put on the line all because some Politicians with a Socialism agenda wanted to buy the peoples vote, and make it look like they really cared about the "little people". Now this doesn't mean that i think that the mortgage lenders are Scott-free on this issue. There is the issue of them cooking the books to make it look good for investors and regulators all while going deeper and deeper in the hole of lending disparity. So they do have a role to play in this. But it would not have taken place if not for the laws forcing them to do it.
Now why would we trust a government that caused the problem to be capable of being the solution.
So get ready, the market will go heywire. The stock market will do a short term downward spiral. The economic status of this country will be in limbo. But this will only be short term. The market will rebound and be stronger than before. But only if it can be left to handle itself. The more the government dabbles with it, the worse a situation you will have.
I have said many times that our current state of government is hell bent on more and more control. And what better way to gain more control from the people without the people fighting back. Create a situation that will turn bad and then come in and acquire it under the guise of fixing it, and once government has its foot in the door it will not stop until it has complete domination.
As I have heard it said " There is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program".
We must continue to fight to stop this unbridled raping of this country by our government.
Viva Liberty!
Just a few minutes ago it came across that The House Of Mis-Representatives failed to pass the massive, wasteful $700 billion bail out.
As most of you know, i have been against this since it was first talked about. I am dead set against any involvement from the government on this. Even though the government (Congress being the main culprit) was the main player in the downfall of the financial market, it doesn't need to be involved. The government bailout would only prolong the inevitable and bring about a worse financial mess 10 - 15 years down the road.
Let me reiterate why i feel this way. In 1993 under the Clintonian Institute of Lies & Bullshittery, laws were pushed through (by Democrats) to allow for low income families more access to home ownership (A noble idea on paper, especially for the Neo-Socialists in the Democratic party). Then in 1998 the law was expanded to allow for even more low income families to own homes. Then it culminated in 2000 with even more laws. Now what these laws basically did was force mortgage lenders to give money to people who did not make enough for the home they were buying, who were getting a mortgage over what they could afford, or had no capability to pay the debt back as promised. So the mortgage lenders were giving money to people that under normal circumstances would not have qualified for a mortgages. The life of these mortgage companies were put on the line all because some Politicians with a Socialism agenda wanted to buy the peoples vote, and make it look like they really cared about the "little people". Now this doesn't mean that i think that the mortgage lenders are Scott-free on this issue. There is the issue of them cooking the books to make it look good for investors and regulators all while going deeper and deeper in the hole of lending disparity. So they do have a role to play in this. But it would not have taken place if not for the laws forcing them to do it.
Now why would we trust a government that caused the problem to be capable of being the solution.
So get ready, the market will go heywire. The stock market will do a short term downward spiral. The economic status of this country will be in limbo. But this will only be short term. The market will rebound and be stronger than before. But only if it can be left to handle itself. The more the government dabbles with it, the worse a situation you will have.

Press Release
This was emailed to me earlier from another Libertarian here in the state. This is a release from the State Chairman of the Libertarian Party.
SCLP Press Release for immediate release
Date: September 27, 2008
Press Release: Stop the Bailout.
I have just finished reading the Constitution of the United States. I
have read it so many times in the last 2 decades I almost have it
memorized. Again I can find nowhere it allows the U.S. Congress to use
tax dollars for "Bailouts." I did read again in Article 1 section 8
that Congress is responsible "To coin Money and regulate the value
thereof, " not to use the "Federal Reserve" to do this. Then there is
the 10th Amendment that is supposed to restrict the powers of
Government. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."
Citizens and voters wake up, if your Representative and Senators vote to
support this UNCONSTITUTIONAL action, REMOVE them from office. If we are
to keep this Constitutional Republic, it is not a DEMOCRACY; we had
better stop endorsing the actions taken by Congress by voting them back
into office. Actor Robin Williams in a movie about politicians had a
great line.
"Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often and for the
same reason." Our congress Stinks and needs changed.

A Message To the "Hurricane" Hugo Chavez!
Well there has been something today that has just pissed me off.
I have said before that this situation in the financial market is not a good one. And one that our current politicians, except for one Ron Paul, have no idea what the economy is or how to fix.
But Hurricane Hugo Chavez has proven that he has no understanding either. He was reported as saying that the problem with the US Market is the Free market. And that we need to get rid of the free market, and change the Constitution.
Well, Mr Chavez ( i would like to call you something else, but i will take the high ground), i will say that you are truly wrong. You see, your Socialist mind can not wrap around something such as freedom to average citizens, but the Constitution is what makes this country great. Our constitution give the people the rights, and the control, not the government. You can not fathom this idea since you are the only ones who control the people. But Mr Chavez, the is nothing more powerful than a citizenry with the rights and the power.
This country of ours is in this financial situation because of the government. The government pushed the Mortgage Companys to grant mortgages to low income families. Then in 1998 the program was expanded. Then again 2000 they expanded it more. Now take in mind that this was all pushed through by a Democratic president and the Democrats in Congress who are all hell bent on Socialist agendas such as Free Healthcare ( which do nothing but take control away from the people and put it into the corrupt hands of a government, Hmmm such as your own).
Our country is in the predicament due to the government. I pray that we, as Americans, will force the government back to its boundaries made by the Constitution.
So Mr Chavez, i pray that you citizens will gain the freedom that they deserve. If it means overthrowing you and your corrupt Socialist/Communist apparatus, I say G-dspeed. May you and Socialists in this world be laid waste, so that true freedom. But as an Semi-Isolationist Libertarian, i urge this to happen without the US getting involved. So that true freedom can sprout from the Seeds of Patriotism.
I pray, Mr Chavez, that yourself, Mahmoud I'm-a-nut-job, Putin, Castro, and any other dictatorial regime be quickly sent to hell with the likes of Hitler and Lenin.
Viva Liberty!

Mindless Idiots
Well with the economy in shambles. All politicians are wanting to get their name in lights as being part of the solution. When any reasonable thinking person knows that solutions by politicians are few, and the problems created by them are many.
Well in a new boute of vote buying, two of the whackiest senile senators in Washington are trying to show that they care about the Americans. Harry Reid and Robert Byrd have come together and wrote some legislation to help stimulate the economy.
The $56 Billion Economic Stimulus Package is being pressed as being a help in this trouble times. But these Political Quacks are so far off the mark it makes no sense. In fact, my 2 dogs and 2 cats could come up with a much better system to stimulate the economy than these 2 donkeys.
Ok so here are the details of this "Stimulus" package that is supposed to help create more jobs. This package would allot $6 billion to extend unemployment benefits by 7 weeks for all and 13 weeks for states with high unemployment rates. This package contains close to $20 billion to increase payments to states for Medicaid. This package includes $55 million to upgrade radios for the US Capitol Police. This package also has $905 million to combat bioterrorism and prepare for possible flu epidemic. There is even talk of it including $25 billion for infrastructure items such as roads and bridges.
Now the question i must ask, as would any smart citizens is this. How does this create jobs? It doesn't, it throws money away in an attempt to fool the public into thinking that these incompetent fools we send to Washington are actually accomplishing something.
I have said it many times and i believe it now, the only true fix is to get the government out of the market and the economy. The market will correct itself, the economy will correct itself. It has been proven many, many times that when taxes are cut, the economy grows and the job rate increases. So just think about how much the economy will grow and you and i will prosper if there were no taxes (or very small taxes). The more money we have, the more that will be put nito our economy. The more that is taken from us by government, the more money that is wasted in a system with no checks and balances, no over sight, etc.
So where is the money going to come from for these idiotic stimulus packages. US, just like always. It is time we take a stand and refuse to allow this raping of our money, our economy, our free market society.
Remember that The Boston Tea Party was acted on because of a 1/2 of 1% tax increase. And our fore fathers started their own country from thier, due to the over taxation. Currently our government has expanded and expanded the taxes to the point where it takes 15% from the average American in just Federal Tax, that doesn't include the Local, State, Property, Sales, Death, Capitol Gains Taxes ( All should be considered Theft Taxes).
If you go up to someone and forcably make them give you a percentage of their money would that not be a crime, punishable by jail time. YES, so we need to punish those politicians that steal from us daily.
So what is it going to take to make us stand and fight?

Open up the flood gates
I am going go into something on this one that i never really go into. Race. I know what i am going to say is going to just down right piss someone off. But if what i say pisses a person, that person needs to look deep and see if it is actually true. Because nothing pisses some people off more than the truth.
Let me start by saying this. I am a Caucasian. I have more friends that are minorities than your average person. Black, White, Blue, Brown, Yellow to me it doesn't matter what the outward color of a persons skin may be. I am friends with people not for the color of their skin, but more important who they are as a person. In fact my ancestors in the Ohio valley were part of the underground railroad prior to and during the Civil War.
But what gets to me is all the talk of race in this country. You constantly hear about race in politics, and people will pull the race card at a moments notice. You constantly hear on TV, radio, news print, and internet about how we are a free society and that a persons color of skin should not be used to discriminate against them, which i FULLY agree with. But when people talk about the need for Race to not be a factor, and then bring race up at every turn, they go against what they said.
One of the biggest questions i have is this. Why is that one group can say a word or phrase and it be ok? However when another group says that word it is a racist comment? If it ok for one it should ok for all. If it is not ok for some it should not be ok for all.
But it seems that with this election season that the race card has been played and played and played. This is a ridiculous ploy. In this season it is no more than a ploy to get people off othe topics and onto race. It is a way to bully one group of people into thinking that if they do not vote for someone that they will be called a racist.
It is time to truly put Race to rest. It is time to look at people for who they are not what they look like, or what their skin color.
We have went from deliberate racism in this country, which was truly uncalled for. However reversing the racism is just as uncalled for.
We should fighting for the rights and liberty of all. Not petty fighting over skin color. Skin color will never fix any of the problems that we are in, but standing up for our rights and liberty will!
Utterly Ridiculous!

From the Libertarian Party
Here is an email i received from The Libertarian Party. If you feel the way i do click the link at the bottom and send a message to you congressman.
Sept. 24, 2008
Dear Concerned Taxpayer,
The White House is trying to ram through an unsound bailout for the fat cats on Wall Street that could cost at least $1 trillion of your money.
That’s right, thousands of your hard earned dollars will go to make sure that private businesses stay liquid, and can continue making risky, irresponsible loans.
Meanwhile, who is being held accountable?
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were bailed-out, and were allowed to continue with the taxpayer-funded safety net that encourages irresponsible lending. Barack Obama and John McCain refused to stand up against the bailouts while Libertarian Presidential Candidate Bob Barr said that this is a “Bailout from Hell!”
It’s time to stop this madness!
The White House has given up on the free market, so it’s up to us, the citizens, to try and defend it.
Call your congressman immediately to oppose the bailout. Don’t let the greedy business interests privatize the profits and socialize the risks. Do it, before it’s too late!
"A vote for this bailout package, in whatever form it comes in, is a vote against the American taxpayer, and a vote against the free market," Barr says.

I applaud them, slightly!
I want to applaud the politicians in Washington. Now my applause is not the loud thundering applause that the politicians feel they should receive, its more on the level you would hear on the PGA tour.
The moratorium on offshore drilling is soon to be gone. Democrats have conceded defeat and not brought it back up for vote. The way the moratorium goes, every year it has to be voted to continue another year. Well this year with little to no public support for it, and with it being election year, the Democrats have decided to not force it through.
This moratorium is a good start, but only a start. The politicians are spoon feeding this crap that this will fix the problem with gas prices. And the lemmings of this population believe it.
But there is more that will have to be done in order to see long lasting price reduction.
The first thing to put in place is the pumping of our own supply. Now this will only work IF the extra supply being pumped stays within this country. If the oil being pumped is being sent outside of this country. Then we will see no relief at all. the only thing that would be gained if it is sold outside this country would be tax revenue, and with the way politicians are with money, it would be frivolously spent before it was ever made. Also if we kept everything we pumped, it would cause a surplus on the market due what we were not buying from Opec, thus making the worldwide oil price go down. Not to mention that Opec would not cut production rates seeing as to how their current ally would no longer be helping them prop up the rates. That ally is our government.
The second thing to do is to get it off of the speculative futures market. This will probably bring about the biggest drop in fuel prices, just by itself. Market analysts predict the gas prices would drop to $2 a gallon on average in 30 days or less just from taking oil off of the futures market.
Thirdly, we must build more refineries. Not just more refineries in the gulf cost areas, but nationwide. Currently the refineries in this country are running around 95-97% capacity. Not much room for error if you ask me. So when a hurricane comes through and damages 10 refineries the other can not bump up production to meet the loss. We need to have refineries running at most 75% capacity. We also need the refineries spread out more, to where if a hurricane hits the gulf of mexico it will not put a large number of refineries at risk. Think about it. If you had numerous refineries along the east and west coasts and a large hurricane hit the texas area and wiped out 1/2 of the refineries (which majority of refineries are located in texas). What would happen? We would be out of gas in an instance with supply not regulating itself for months, even upwards of a year. What would you spend on gas then? Look at the gas rationing era in the 70's, that would be a walk in the park compared to this scenario. So if they are spread out around the country, then a disaster in one area would have minimal effect to the nationwide market.
So this is our next fighting point. We need to fight for more refineries. We need to fight to have the red tape removed from companies building new refineries. We need to fight for the futures market be shut down for oil.
We have to fight now, especially since this was just a election year ploy by the politicians to buy the publics votes, by making it look like they cared for the situation.
Viva Liberty!

What Are We Teaching. Our Students?
Well it should come to no suprise to any of us that our public education is failing us miserably. It is also of no surprise that they fail to teach adequetely what the Constitution really means. Why? Because why would they want to appropriately teach on a document that limits them. so they water down the meaning of the Constitution to dumb-down future generations, that way the government will gain more power through the stupidity it helped create. This is by no menas a new concept. This has been happening in one way or another since the induction of the socialist system into our country in the early part of the last century
Well there is a kid that i take my hat off to. In Aurora, CO there is a 5th grader to commended. At his school, they had a Patriotic Day. One where every student was asked to where red, white, and blue shirts to show their Patriotism. Well Daxx (the 5th grader in question) wore a white shirt that he used red and blue marker to write on it. He wrote " Obama is a terrorists best firend" on his shirt. Now he followed the rules the wore a red, white, and blue shirt. So what is the problem you may ask. He was called into the principal's and was told he had 3 options. He could change shirts, turn it inside out, or be suspended. Well seeing as how Daxx is from a very coservative family, one that believes heavily in the Constution, told the principal he would take suspension.
Now think about that. A fifth grade standing up and taking punishment for something he know he has the RIGHT to. Freedom of Speech. Daxx understands this better than most adults.
Here is what this wise young man had to say about it.
"They're taking away my right of freedom of speech. If i have the right to wear this shirt, I'm going to use it. And if the only way to use it is to get suspended, then i'm going to get suspended".
So i ask What are we teaching our students?
We need to be teaching them in school about the utmost importance of the Constitution. We need to teach what each right means. We need to press on them the importance of these rights. We also need to teach them to stand for their rights. We need to teach them to stand up for the rights of others. We need to teach them that we need to fight to the death for the right of all in this country to have that right.
We need more like Daxx in this country!

We also need to teach them to stand for their rights. We need to teach them to stand up for the rights of others. We need to teach them that we need to fight to the death for the right of all in this country to have that right.
We need more like Daxx in this country!

And it begins
I posted a week or so ago on this escalation in tension between the US and Pakistan.
For those not in the know, our administration has given the green light to our special forces to cross into Pakistan to hunt down Al Qeada operatives hiding in the remote mountains. And Pakistan has pushed back stating that any US military personel illegally entering Pakistan will be fired upon by the Pakistani military.
I stated then and i stand by it now, that we do not have the right to enter and run military operatives in a country we are not at war. We MUST have that countries blessing to run raid on their soil.
Well the US military has pushed the Pakistani's on this. There are reports that the Pakistani military fired upon US military aircraft inside Pakistans air space. Once they were fired upon, the aircraft turn and headed back to Afghanistan.
Now i place complete blame on our administration for this. I don't blame any of our military for this, they are following the orders given to them by, guess who, the administration.
It is blatant actions like this that have given the reputation of elite imperialists hell bent on expanding our borders at all cost. This is not the truth, but this is the impression that other countries get of us.
It is time to stop acting like the world is our playground, and that we can all that we want regardless of others soveriegnty.
We must stand up against this before we find ourselves paying for another unneeded war.

Proof of Political Ineptitude
Why is today that it seems like the only ones protected in our society are the criminals. I place this blame on the short sighted politicians that we vote into office and then fail to hold accountable. Too many times politicians will jump onto an issue without looking at spin-off issues that will come from that actions.
The reason i say is this is because of a news report i just read from FoxNews. A man in Connecticut hired a builder to construct a building for his business. This building was to cost $80,000 to construct. The business owner paid the Builder $39,500 up front, to pay the remainder upon completion of the structure. However the builder never showed up to start, much less complete, the construction project.
So the Business owner filed a criminal complaint against the builder. The builder was arrested and charged with Larceny. The builder worked out an agreement to pay the business owner $25,000 and pay restitution on the remaining balance.
This is were it gets the blood boiling.
It seems that shortly before the business owner filed the charges against the builder. The builder filed for bankruptcy, and the stolen amount was included. Paperwork was sent to the business owner informing him of this. However the paperwork was sent to the wrong address and the business owner never recieved the paperwork.
So the Builder's lawyers went before the Bankruptcy judge to bring forth that thier client had been arrested, and charged for something that he filed on his bankruptcy. Well since the charges were filed after the bankruptcy, it is not legal.
So the business owner was ordered to pay the builder back the $25,000 and pay legal fees for the builder. The victim had to pay back the thief.
Ridiculous!
I think it should be a law that anything acquired through illegal means should not be permitted on a bankruptcy case.
Only in America do politicians pass laws that allow a victim of a crime be cast as the perpetrator in court.
