Bailing out the Banks, James Dean, and Freedom



Seeing the world as it is, the wizard behind the curtain and reality instead of myth, matters now more than ever. Lose your illusions. Now they could kill you.

Nth Step Before Collapse



Paulson is now the most powerful man in the world, the son of Vishnu. "I am become Death, the Destroyer of worlds." We have only a few steps left, going the way of Paulson before our economy implodes. The money supply is growing at the rate of 14 to 18 percent, leading to hyper-inflation. Banks and investment brokerages are being bailed out at tax-payer expense.

Americans, the Common Law, and Freedom – What you need to know.



The common law and the right of the jury to pass judgment on both fact and law. That is the check and balance that matters, that we must restore. Start now.

Investors Screwed by Fed



The Fed has decided to outlaw short selling of Federal Reserve member banks. Isn't that special?

Cheney Commits Treason



Jim Davidson points out the implication of frank treason in Seymour Hersh's detailed evaluation of Bush/Cheney war in Iran activities. Cheney, et al., are giving aid and comfort to identifiable enemies, they should be tried for treason by a court of competent jurisdiction, found guilty, and executed. Supporting MEK terrorists to foment rebellion in Iran is treason.

Touched by Government



Boston Tea Party's Jim Davidson reviews a proposal from many years ago to significantly increase the number of libertarian activists. If a libertarian is someone who has been arrested, why not look to county arrest records for new recruits?

Speculators, Regulators, Militarists, and Money Masters



Jim Davidson reviews some of the factors contributing to high prices. They are not largely due to speculators.

The rotting carcass of LP national



The chairman of the Boston Tea Party reflects on some things wrong with the national LP.

Appeasement



When the term appeasement is used to slam those willing to negotiate with Iran, how ironic is it? Shouldn't appeasement be used to describe those in the international community who have allowed Bush to invade one country after another?

Third Court of Appeals tells CPS that its kidnapping of the FLDS children was illegal



The Texas Third Court of Appeals issues a writ of mandamus to Child Protective Services (CPS) that its kidnapping of the FLDS children was illegal and CPS has ten days to return the children. CPS won't let go, files an appeal with the Texas Supreme court, and then indicates it will ignore the Third Court of Appeals' writ to return the children within 10 days. Maybe because each kid taken could represent income of ~$400,000 to CPS?

Hopefully, the Third Court of Appeals will continue to do its job properly, and issues contempt of court fines to CPS officials after the ten day deadline is up. We could be so lucky if that also includes jail time!

Arizona Voters to Recall Senator McCain?



Most amusing concept ever? Here's a plea to the Arizona voters to Recall John McCain, which would be just down right funny, but... it might also give a phenomenal long shot chance for Dr. Ron Paul to be tapped for the Republican nomination for US President.

The Revolution is heating up and Senator John McCain now finds himself at war with his own party. In particular, the Ron Paul r3volution!
It is my idea to start a recall petition drive against McCain, within his home state of Arizona; as a RINO (republican in name only) McCain cannot, should not, and will not be the standard barer for the Republican Party.
Please Start the Recall Petition process to remove McCain as Arizona's US Senator...

The Great American Rebate Scam



The most ironic part is that in the very halls of Congress that excreted such stopgap measures, walks a senator from Texas who has for many years, warned of exactly this kind of economic consequences of action; and who has long been ignored when he put forth intelligent and easily applicable solutions to out-of-control spending.

Saints in the Lobby



Legislators would not know how to vote if it were not for these guys.

Dating tips, or how to save your Marriage in one easy lesson



In reality, it takes two to tango and a marriage is both give and take. It constantly baffles me that the majority of American woman don't seem to understand that their husbands have biological needs. And you woman, by agreeing to be married, have committed your life to meeting those needs, and if you don't accept that, you should just start the divorce proceedings already.

Now men, don't think you get off scot free here, your wife has physical, biological, and emotional needs that you too have committed your life to meeting.

Let us Hope Hillary Caves in.



Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming the next President of the United States shrank to little or non, as of March 5, 2008. Obama won in several states that she had called her own. By continuing her campaign she is counting on the super-delegates. This could be disasterous.
