A very interesting read.

Excerpt:

He saw in the Christian Right, long before we did, disturbing similarities with the German Christian Church and the Nazi Party, similarities that he said would, in the event of prolonged social instability or a national crisis, see American fascists, under the guise of religion, rise to dismantle the open society. He despaired of liberals, who he said, as in Nazi Germany, mouthed silly platitudes about dialogue and inclusiveness that made them ineffectual and impotent. Liberals, he said, did not understand the power and allure of evil nor the cold reality of how the world worked. The current hand wringing by Democrats in the wake of the election, with many asking how they can reach out to a movement whose leaders brand them "demonic" and "satanic," would not have surprised Adams . Like Bonhoeffer, he did not believe that those who would fight effectively in coming times of turmoil, a fight that for him was an integral part of the Biblical message, would come from the church or the liberal, secular elite.

Now, most of you will watch this movie and say "man, this guy's a major dick", and for the most part I will agree with you. However he is proving a very valid point- the border patrol cannot stop you 50 miles before the border and start questioning you without probable cause. If they do, in the perfect world, you should really do exactly what this guy does. And it's nice to see someone do it because I always wondered if it really worked just to keep repeating "am I being detained, am I free to go?", well apparently it really does.

So you can call this guy a dick, but keep in mind that he's one of the only people out there fighting for your freedoms (spineless democrats certainly aren't). Without people like him rights are given up much more easily. So I will call this guy what he really is- a hero.

Every now and then I feel bad because some of my many Jewish friends feel that I am against their people since I don't believe in the way the Israeli military behaves (much in the same way I don't believe in the way the American military behaves while still loving the American people- although the ignorance does get to me a bit). I wish anyone who felt that way would read this article and realize that supporting a military is not the same as supporting the people who live in the country of that military. Often they are polar opposites.

Excerpt:

Let us conclude. The Israeli people are America’s friends and have a right to peace and secure borders. We should help them secure these rights. As a nation, we have made a moral commitment, endorsed by half a dozen presidents, which Americans wish to honor, not to permit these people who have suffered much to see their country overrun and destroyed. And we must honor this commitment.But U.S. and Israeli interests are not identical. They often collide, and when they do, U.S. interests must prevail. Moreover, we do not view the Sharon regime as “America’s best friend.”Since the time of Ben Gurion, the behavior of the Israeli regime has been Jekyll and Hyde. In the 1950s, its intelligence service, the Mossad, had agents in Egypt blow up U.S. installations to make it appear the work of Cairo, to destroy U.S. relations with the new Nasser government. During the Six Day War, Israel ordered repeated attacks on the undefended USS Liberty that killed 34 American sailors and wounded 171 and included the machine-gunning of life rafts. This massacre was neither investigated nor punished by the U.S. government in an act of national cravenness.

The evidence is mounting that the DC madam was most likely murdered. First off is this tape where she is interviewed and says that she is absolutely not suicidal and if something happens to her it's murder. Secondly, was the fact that she was 3 days away from releasing her list of everyone in Washington who was using her escort service to the judge. Why wouldn't she wait at least until afterwards?

If you care about your freedoms and don't want to continue to pay 15% of your earnings solely to fund never ending wars, please contribute 0.1% of your earnings to an anti war peace and freedom loving candidate like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. You do know they are the only ones running (besides Gravel) who have pledged to end the war and have all the troops home any time in the next 5 years, right? Don't let those other politicians who started and funded this war and voted through all of Bush's anti-constitution legislation take any more of our freedoms our our youth's lives. Help those few that actually fought against the war and fought for the constitution with legislation and votes! It's a small price to pay to live in a free and peaceful nation!

Check out the Ron Paul Boston Tea Party Money Bomb on December 16th and Dennis Kucinich Money Bomb on December 15th (which even comes with this handy video):



If you're feeling a little unorthodox, than maybe you want to support the Ron Paul Blimp instead. It will be flying over the Boston harbor dumping tea during the Boston tea party celebration!

I've seen this a few times over the years, but if you havent, you need to. If you ever doubted how cool and intellegent Frank Zappa was you need to watch these videos. So awesome to watch him intellectually maul the stuffed shirts on Crossfire .



While we're at him, watch him talk about freedom of speech in front of congress and bash a few more stuffed shirts



Here are Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 if you really get into it.

I wish there were some Frank Zappas running around today.

The first peice is Ron Paul on Newsweek video describing how to shut down the IRS and how civil disobedience is key to keeping a society free.

The second peice is a very nice Japanese story equated to Ron Paul in a very intellegent way. I won't give away the story which is the meat of the article, only the assertions.

Excerpt:

Many contend that Ron Paul, although an honest, plain-talking man, comes to the 2008 presidential campaign podium without a lot of achievement. While in office, he hasn’t steer-headed proposed legislation into law, or galvanized broad-based support for this national agenda or that, or even been on board with most post-911 bills and actions. For almost twenty years, he’s been a dedicated representative for his Texas District and has not a potpourri of achievements about which to boast on the presidential campaign trail. Is this exactly true? How could someone serve for so long, and have so little to show for it? Ron Paul, like Ling, is a great truth-teller. His voting record is one of the most consistent this writer has ever seen. No flip-flops are to be found. As well, he is a courageous and wise man, and a heck of an economist. Just ask the Wall Streeters. However, he bears to his fellow countrymen (and countrywomen), an empty pot. He can’t claim to have brought you wars or higher taxes, which we now have. He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties. Sorrowfully, he was outvoted or shot down on all measures. The Constitution has been chiseled down, government spending is through the roof, healthcare costs are out of control, the war on drugs keeps getting less effective, immigration issues remain unresolved and our civil liberties have been crimped for our own safety. I’ll just throw in that Ron Paul opposes regulation of the internet, which has been a revolution in the exchange of ideas, this article being a case in point.

I know this is conspiracy theory stuff, and I can't say I know enough to believe it, but it's interesting and this isn't the first time we've heard about this kind of operation- bush sr. was also alledgedly smuggling coke to pay for his guerrilla operations in South America.

Ralph Nader comes out and eloquently expresses why we need Ron Paul in the white house. Some people rightfully are afraid of his minimalist leanings, but I've always tried to explain that we just need 4 years of a strict constitutionalist to purge the shit from the system. Ron Paul is the only one that can right the ship. And when you have someone like Nader that's very big on government regulation saying the same thing, you've gotta take notice.

Quote From Nader's Blog:

He won’t admit it, but Ron Paul is practically running on my third-party ticket. And while I don’t agree with him on every point. I was impressed that he raised four million dollars in one day. Unless my campaign starts showing some signs of life, I might just vote for him next November.

Sure, I don’t particularly agree with his immigration policy of state-run militia’s running around on the southern border, shooting at anything that speaks Spanish. Nor do I sleep well at night thinking about his proposed dissolution of my precious EPA and Consumer Product Safety Commission. However, I think we can all agree that Washington is like the inflamed colon after 20 years without even a flake of Raisin Bran. What it needs is a Ron Paul enema — let’s let it run through the system, clean everything out — You wouldn’t get an enema every day — but we need one right now.

How many other people can motivate their base in this kind of way? Actually it's not even a fundraiser that Ron started. Some dude on the internet just did it himself. That's grassroots! And there's still 6 hours to go, he's well on his way to $3.5 million, making $12 million easily within his grasp for this quarter, putting him squarely in the top tier (maybe top overall for the republicans!). Wow, he's got one hell of a wealthy spambot .

I sort of hate for people to see this, but it's so important that they do to realize what this war agenda and privatization of war really is. It's a video of a british private defense contractor driving down the road killing innocent civilians for sport. It's horrible and sad. I hate it, but I had to post it here.

Once again, Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are the only ones earning their salaries in Congress. Real men can work with people from another political party. Contact your Congressman and tell him to support such legislation.

Excerpt:

The Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act (H.R. 3171) is a bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives intended to review the previously passed USA PATRIOT Act. The bill was referred to subcommittees where it languished without action taken before the end of the 108th United States Congress. The bill will have to be reintroduced in order to be considered again.The bill was sponsored by Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Ron Paul (R-Texas), with 27 co-sponsors, all Democrats (except Ron Paul). The intent was to review the USA PATRIOT Act to make sure it does not "inappropriately undermine civil liberties." Its name, as described in Sec. 2, No. 1, refers to Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I know I prattle on and on about Ron Paul, because I think most of the US' problems are caused by an overreaching federal government, but I understand many people still want a big federal government without some warmonger at the helm.

So I'm going to promote Kucinich a little here too. If Ron Paul didn't exist I'd be voting for this guy. He and Mike Gravel are the only Democrats planning to get us out of Iraq within the next 5 years, and who voted against funding the war. Obama and Hillary may talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk. They fund the war at every opportunity, and have denied that they would pull out of Iraq
