Ron Paul Statement After 10 Years of War with Iraq



The occupation of Iraq began five years ago today, but few realize that the march to war began ten years ago under Bill Clinton, when regime change became official U.S. policy. In 1998, I took to the House floor in protest of the Iraqi Liberation Act to warn that, ‘I see this legislation as essentially being a declaration of virtual war. It is giving the President tremendous powers to pursue war efforts against a sovereign Nation.’ My warnings were largely dismissed at the time, but five years later, we were bombing Iraq.

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.

Hillary, Ron Paul, and the End of Fascism



First, clean up your own house. Be glad that Hillary does not live with you and you don't have clean up after her.

How the Libertarians lost Liberty: John Fund, Justin Raimondo, and the history of the Libertarian Party



In Justin Raimondo's article titled, John Fund vs. the Truth, online yesterday morning at antiwar.com, Justin illuminates the many failings of Fund, former WSJ editorial page editor and now columnist for that increasingly questionable publication. If you examine the publications that have been used as tools for planting opinion and values useful to NeoCons for the past 50 years the WSJ will always be high on the list.

In the first paragraph of his article Justin links to an article by John Connelly titled, Sex, Lies, and the

Why Scooter Libby is Toast and Rove will provide the butter:



And why no one connected with John Fund can get life insurance

Scooter Libby made a mistake. He thought he was a NeoCon Insider. It was a natural mistake for him to have made, his business cards, the perks, the deference, the salary, and the access to power, all spell out Insider using the usual formula for such. But he was wrong and will now find himself tossed off the back of the Sleigh of State into the gaping maws of righteous indignation, there to serve his ultimate purpose, scapegoat and distraction. The NeoCons waste nothing, not even their hapless tools, that is their environmental policy.

Your standing and importance in the NeoCon world depend not on where you

Cleaning up the old ISMs in 2000 America



A little background

We came out of WW2 glorious winners but many of us were still worried about Soviet Russia and the Communism that was still active in many countries. We set that aside and began to rebuild our families, help our heroes heal and try to get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Some Common Sense, Please



I am reading a lot of articles and letters from Conservatives and I am very troubled about the direction these folks are heading. Their efforts to improve the morals and ethics of Americans are, in many cases, in direct conflict with the 10th Amendment.

I became a certified Conservative during Goldwater's campaign. The policies of the group felt good to me and I began to pursue a life of working to limit the government and making the budget more fiscal in nature.

Libertarianism for Dummies



I don't care how others do it, I sum up the libertarian philosophy in one simple made-for-the-evening-news sound bite: maximum freedom - minimum government. Film at Eleven.

Yes, there's more to it than that. With freedom comes responsibility. It has two sides, like a Morgan dollar (or a Susan B. Anthony, if you prefer) and if you try to separate one from the other you end up with a pile of shavings and two useless pieces. Freedom works best the same way Parcheesi works best - with a framework of simple, easy to understand rules that don't change every time one player falls behind and starts whining for special consideration. That's the minimum government part. To paraphrase a phrase, it's the Constitution, stupid.

I'm in Big Trouble



What hit me this morning was that it is all gone! There is no more Republican party that even vaguely resembles the GOP that I worked for all those years.

The good honest candidates have been replaced with manipulators who have lost their mission of reducing the government, and their whole plan of tax cuts is based on playing with numbers to fool the voters. Any half-wit can figure out that cutting government programs is the only honest way of cutting costs for the taxpayer.

The Magic Flute



We go through the search for Sarastro, which proves longer than previously planned. Obviously there was no help from the Liberal press. We find Pamina being molested by Monostatos (a mafia henchman on the government payroll). Just as the scene gets interesting, Hillary shows up raving and ranting at her daughter and demands that Pamina kill Sarastro. Pamina is stunned this idea, but knowing that it must be politically correct to obey her mother, agrees, sort of. When Sarastro appears Pamina softens. Sarastro calms her and assures her that he is a good and kind man.

Is Clinton Another Don Giovanni?



Tuesday my phone line was severed! School's out here and I was told that this is what we must expect. It cut my internet off too! Now we're talking serious inconvenience. So I put on my CD set of Mozart's Don Giovanni and cleaned my house -- As I listened to this masterpiece, President Clinton kept popping into my mind. There is such a comparison in personalities between the two men and a sudden thought caught me off guard.

Ideals



Rand's philosophy is based on ideals, ideal heroes, ideal situations, timeless, fundamental, universal problems and values of human existence that we all respect and strive for in our own lives. She writes about how things should be, not how they are. She stated that Frank was the fuel that dept the ideal concept lighted during the writing of the book and through the many rejections she received. Frank used to tell her that in her characters she rejected the commonplace and wrote for the characters that had the courage of their convictions.

Clintons in Politics



In the last year I read over nine books on the subject of the Clintons in Politics. My aim was to attempt to understand how these two well-educated, ambitious, capable people could combine their talents and energy to build an empire of such power that can be compared only to Alexander the Great.

Even before they were married each had made a name for themselves. Hillary as an attorney going after Nixon in the Watergate scandal, and Bill as a Rhodes scholar, who dodged the draft and then demonstrated against the American Embassy in Moscow. These two met at Yale, moved to Arkansas, married in 1975 and started building a political base of Democratic support that would literally take over the most corrupt aspects of the party in Arkansas.
