Ron Paul’s latest update on the native criminal class

Filed Under Democratic Party, Modern Liberalism, National, Ron Paul, Socialism | 1 Comment

Progressives continue Neocon policy of “Don’t give anybody time to read the bill before you make them vote”
Yes, that’s “Change You Can Believe In!” May they all be stimulated as they rot in hell.

Government and Fraud

Billions of dollars were recently lost in the collapse of Bernie Madoff’s self-described Ponzi scheme, in which too-good-to-be-true returns on investments were not really returns at all, but the funds of defrauded new investors. The pyramid scheme collapsed dramatically when too many clients called in their accounts, and not enough new victims could be found to support these withdrawals. Bernie Madoff was running a blatant fraud operation. Fraud is already illegal, and he will be facing criminal consequences, which is as it should be, and should act as an appropriate deterrent to potential future criminals. But it seems every time someone breaks the law, politicians and pundits decide we need more laws, even though lack of laws was not the problem.

The government itself runs a fraud much bigger than Madoff’s. Our Social Security system is the very definition of a Ponzi, or pyramid scheme. If the government truly had an interest in protecting people’s savings, they would allow people to opt out of Social Security altogether. We would cut wasteful spending, such as our overseas empire, to honor current obligations to seniors, and eventually phase the program out. Instead, as with Enron and Sarbanes Oxley, I expect new, unrelated legislation to be proposed that further damages freedom in the name of protecting us, amidst loud proclamations that they have made the world safe.

Bob Conley the Jeffersonian vs. Lindsey Graham “McCain’s Mini Me”

Filed Under Democratic Party, Ron Paul | 4 Comments

“If a Democrat running to the right of the Republican seems a bit odd, it should be kept in mind that the Republican Party has been moving to the left. In fact, many Republicans are “neoconservatives” who promote a corporate-socialist-internationalist agenda under the banner of Republican conservatism. Neoconservatism has become so prevalent within the Republican Party that some conservatives have left the party in disgust.”

Bob Conley defeated a leftist Democrat in the primary and seems to be at battle not only with Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham but with the far left controlled South Carolina Democratic Party which as Conley was quoted s aying recently is “betraying members by implicitly supporting Graham”.
As would be expected, the far left finds a neocon like Lindsey Graham far more palatable to their big government tastes than a Jeffersonian Paulite like Bob Conley. Let’s hope the South Carolina voters wake up this time and smell the duplicity of the Republican and Democratic machines. As the great Jeffersonian Democrat Grover Cleveland once said, “It is better to be defeated standing for a high principle than to run by committing subterfuge.”

I McCain

Filed Under National, Republican Party | Leave a Comment

Lew Rockwell summed up McCain’s acceptance speech nicely in one paragraph so if you didn’t watch it, you don’t have to suffer through it.

The Republican National Convention is not a convention at all, but more like a staged coronation made for TV not unlike the horrendous spectacle of the Democratic National Convention.
A real convention would have a lot of competition amongst different delegates for different candidates, yelling, sign waving and general anarchy. Instead McCain black hat storm troopers roamed the aisles ready to put down any sign of true republicanism and dissent from neocon dogma. The roll call vote was a joke. In a McCain world, freedom is not popular.
I admit I didn’t watch the entire spectacle mainly because I couldn’t, but what I did see was one boring, deceiving, fear mongering, heart string pulling speaker after another. Of course if you are politically naïve and a dupe for snake oil salesman you probably thought it was just dandy. Then again you probably think the neocons are the defenders of limited government, peace, capitalism, the constitution, and fiscal responsibility too. Well the jokes on you sucker, maybe someday you’ll wake up and smell the fascism.

Freedom is Golden

As the Olympics wind down, I am amazed at how things change every four years. Many Americans were glued to their televisions to watch the excitement from Beijing, and also heard announcers wax nostalgic with memories of times when the Soviet Union was the USA’s biggest competitor for Olympic gold. There was a time when it was unthinkable that a government as powerful as that of the Soviet Union’s could possibly crumble, yet crumble it did. The irony is that the strength of the Soviet government was also its weakness, as no country, no economic system can remain strong under the crushing burden that is central planning.
