The Knife in Ron Paul's Back
I spent several hours walking my precinct on Monday, then went to my precinct meeting yesterday. The sense I got from my street canvassing, even among some registered voters, is that there isn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans. And I've preached that long and hard for quite a few years.
Ron Paul's unavoidable problem is that he has to run as a Republican or else he has NO ACCESS to the system. The Republicrats run the show, along with their handlers in the media. The media provides 'viability' or 'electability' by covering a campaign, and the Major Parties then choose from amongst the media's anointed to provide the voters with a well-managed choice.
The knife is the Republican's well-established history of duplicity, treachery, and betrayal. The patron saint of the 21st century Republican establishment is that icon of Conservatism: Ronald Reagan. But it was Reagan who laid the foundation for almost all of our problems. He didn't deliver on his promise for smaller and less-intrusive government, he had huge budget deficits, and he handed off to George Bush I who was a CIA operative and began all the entangling alliances, etc. in the middle east. He also disgusted us with Republican big government and greased the skids for 8 years of the Clintonistas. Two years into the Clinton regime, the voters (maybe) voted for change, and the "Contract With America" came forth. Gingrich and Armey were going to provide leadership for a batch of conservative freshman Congressmen who were going to pare down government - "bind them down by the chains of the Constitution, where they can do no mischief" as Jefferson said.
Instead, Gingrich and his buddies did all within their power to derail the clear will of the People and give us even BIGGER government.
Bush the Second ran on a platform of a humble foreign policy, no nation-building, lower taxes, responsible "Christian" government. This led to more Republican betrayal, as we all now know.
The best thing is that the Republicans don't like Ron Paul. He is obviously not one of them. I only hope he can demonstrate that the betrayal came from the NeoCons who have hijacked the party, and that this stranglehold on the body politic by the warmongers and the banksters can be broken. Whether they can be permanently put into a cage is another question, as the American voting public seems incapable of eternal vigilance. But it does awaken from its slumber from time to time, and we can only pray that this is one of those times.

A political rant to a local Candidate for office
As far as I can tell, the "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA" is a federal corporation that has usurped the organic republican State of North-Carolina and consists of a band of thugs and criminals whose sole intent is to plunder us. These people are thieves and worse, and will stop at nothing to continue their evil regime. I am appalled and disgusted by them.
When the Cubans were confronted by tyrannical government, they had some place to escape to. As far as I can tell, we have no place to escape to. We must either fight or submit. Our political enemies are destroying the middle class by design, and simply want a well-regulated federal plantation where we peasants and serfs work all day (with an extra part-time job on the weekends) while they train up OUR children in government schools, and then when we are too old or weak to work, we die.
It's one hell of a system, and it's designed that way.
I hope that you will join with us to engage the system and begin to eviscerate it. A pledge to 'not raise taxes' does not excite my passion when taxes are already obscenely high. A pledge to dramatically lower taxes would be better, and a plan to ELIMINATE taxes would suggest you get it. These bastards are harvesting billions of dollars from folks who just want to live their lives in peace. Many of these elected officials properly belong in prison. You know it ... I know it. And they probably know it, too. What's their response? Support for the "Homegrown Terrorist Act" that will be used to round up and incarcerate folks like me for simply expressing these intemperate thoughts.
Last year, our local Sheriff had a clear-cut decision to either obey his oath to God to support and defend the Constitution, or to piss on the oath and the Constitution and steal over thirty thousand dollars from me. That quisling coward chose poorly, and I am quite confident that God Himself will avenge. And it is still a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
If you are elected, and I hope you are, I fully expect you will aggressively pursue these people, and shine the light of truth on these scuttling cockroaches and their nefarious deeds. YouTube may yet save us! Make a movie and upload, and let the body politic see what these people are really like. The Revolution is not about Ron Paul; it's a whole lot bigger than that. The world knows we MUST prevail, or this will truly become "Prison Planet."
What are we gonna do about it?

Political Philosophy
If I don't have a right, then I can't delegate the exercise of that non-existing 'right' to someone else. I don't care how competent or well-intentioned people in government are, if they don't have authority to do something, they shouldn't do it. And if they do it anyway, someone should be impeached (or fired) and then tried. Arrogant and tyrannical "public servants" should be on the street and living under bridges, rather than our returning veterans.
Civil government's natural tendency is to usurp, and the body politic's natural tendency is to trust their elected representatives. OUR elected representatives no longer represent us. They plunder us for their benefit.
We got here for several reasons:
We also need to get the government out of the school business. Period. Privatize every single school and get rid of the Department of Education.
Get the government out of garbage collection and the rest. All the government properly needs to do is punish the wicked. We need a Sheriff who respects the Constitution (that excludes Harrison) and will go after the true miscreants in our society, and we need a court system to try them (with fully informed juries), and a penal system to rehab them if possible, or execute them if necessary.
And we need a legislature that will go through the laws on the books and repeal a LOT of them.
We have a RIGHT to travel. The DMV has no legitimate authority taking our natural God-given right, converting it into a 'privilege' by legal word-smithing and sophistry, and then selling that right back to us as a state-granted privilege. There should be, and properly is no, tax on my RIGHT to own an automobile or a house or any other property.

Civil government's natural tendency is to usurp, and the body politic's natural tendency is to trust their elected representatives. OUR elected representatives no longer represent us. They plunder us for their benefit.
We got here for several reasons:
- First, the failure of most of us to responsibly self-govern. When we exchanged liberty under God for license, a power vacuum of sorts was created, and civil government filled the void. We've had severe moral lapses and we are paying for it.
- Second, VOTE FRAUD. I don't believe we voted for a lot of this stuff. "Those who count the votes decide everything." (attributed to Josef Stalin) and our votes are counted by computers programmed by Diebold or, in NC, an outfit called ES&S. I understand these companies are owned by Israelis. So it's no wonder that pro-Israel candidates litter the political landscape.
- Third, flaky theology. Many believed the "Rapture" would deliver us, so didn't care how polluted the political and social environments became. Indeed, many Christians, including pastors, taught and believed that things MUST get this bad, that this was the outworking of prophecy, that it was God's Will. Some also believe our mis-adventures in the middle east are also, somehow, sanctified activities -- even though none of it honors or glorifies Christ. Blindly, they vote for leaders who offer us more of what Schofield's Bible told us was destined to happen. Well ... it's many years after the so-called "last generation" and we're still here, and rather than God blessing us for our obedience, He is clearly judging us for our gross malfeasance.
- Strict limits on governmental authority and activity
- Balanced budget
- Eliminate taxes
- Strict accountability against lawbreakers and usurpers in government. Criminal sanctions for breach of fiduciary trust for those who violate the Constitution.
- Privatize - let the market decide

Another One Bites The Dust?
Rumor has it (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/01/breaking-news-i.html) that Rudy Giuliani is considering quitting the race. Many in the Revolution will take this gleefully, but ...
But I don't think our objective should be to simply 'win' an election. We need to win the hearts and minds of our political opponents. We want the wholesale rejection of centralized political power, Keynesian economics, empire-building and all the other failed policies and philosophies that have brought us to the edge of the abyss.
The mainstream media, I suspect, are not happy with another drop-out, as there will be less advertising dollars for them. Too bad. It would be nice if the media would also figure out what is really going on.

New Hampshire Debates - we were lucky
Dr. Paul did not look well on Saturday night. He looked exhausted, and also a little confused. I think it was clear that he got the least face time of all the candidates. I also think it's a blessing in disguise that the FOX effort was cancelled. They are still not our friends, but the NH GOP took the opportunity to appear 'principled' and I think not having another debate works to our advantage.
Dr. Paul differentiates himself by being the only candidate who stands for the RULE OF LAW. This is significant, and instead of addressing issue-this or issue-that, he needs to rise above all the "me, too!" offered by both parties, and hold every one of them accountable to the Constitution. Even when asked about his core principles, he hit maybe a ground rule double when he should have hit that one out of the park.
We are tired of tyranny. We've seen enough rule by well-intentioned men who think that anything worth doing should be done and managed by the Federal government. And we need to hit all these tyrants with that concept over and over and over again. We need to remind the body politic that if ANY proposed course of action does not pass Constitutional muster, it must be rejected, and that any pretender to the Presidency who will ignore the Constitution is not worthy of anyone's vote.
Before we know it, all kinds of other candidates will be launching campaigns for judgeships, State senators, U.S. Congress, sheriffs, etc. etc. And we owe it to the electorate to raise up a clear standard, that standard being the Constitution. We need to tell them over and over again that we are replacing a government of men with a government of law. That's what this Revolution is all about. We want our freedom back, and we will never get it back as long as we support people who refuse to obey the law. We need to urge every voter or potential voter to turn off the tube for 20 minutes and read the Constitution (and a downloadable PDF copy should be available on every web site that supports Ron Paul).
Finally, I would suggest a series of radio spots along the lines of:
These can be mp3 files on the web site that we can download and play on local radio stations, pass on to friends, or even call local call-in radio shows and play through the phone and over the air. Dr. Paul's answers and issue statements should be salted with direct quotes from the Constitution.
We ... as Ron Paul supporters ... need to be totally conversant in the Constitution. The defining issue of this campaign is nothing less than the future of our country, and perhaps of the free world, and that issue is this: Are we a nation of law? Either we will be a nation of law or we will be a nation of tyrants. We either elect a President or we get a king. Hillary recently responded to a hard question by having the questioner hauled out of the meeting and tasered. This while she is campaigning to get people to like her and trust her. What she will do if elected is anyone's guess, but almost all of our Republican candidates are cut from the same cloth.
Feel free to forward this, read it on your program, whatever. Most important is to get these ideas before Dr. Ron or Dr. Rand.
Let freedom ring!

Hi, I'm Ron Paul, Republican candidate for President.
During this campaign, you will continue to hear candidates for various positions as they offer their solutions to the many problems our country is now facing. How can an intelligent voter decide which solutions are best?
Might I suggest a simple test that is often overlooked? Just look in the U.S. Constitution and see for yourself if the law gives authority for the solution proposed. For instance, a candidate may universal health care. However, the Constitution does not grant the Federal government authority to meddle with health care at all. The Constitutiont says, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution ... are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people," and the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.
The lawful and moral answer then becomes clear: Health care is a matter for families, the free market, and perhaps state governments. History has also shown us that this is the right path. Since the Federal government began meddling in medicine, health care in this country has gotten worse.
Be an informed voter. Visit our web site for a free copy of the Constitution.
I'm Ron Paul, and I endorse this message.
