“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”

ANDREW JACKSON, SPEAKING TO INTERNATIONAL BANKERS IN 1832.

This message, which I read off a Fox News blog, surprised me a bit at how relevant it is.

Here’s what McCain, Obama, and Bush had to say if we never pass their puppet-masters’ bills:

“We’re facing a choice between action and the real prospect of economic hardship for millions of Americans.” - Bush

“The whole spectrum of Main Street America’s economy is going to be jeopardised unless we pass this legislation. And we didn’t do a good enough job selling it.” - McCain

“A failure by Congress to come together on a plan would be catastrophic for our economy and our families. At this moment, when the jobs, retirement savings, and economic security of all Americans hang in the balance, it is imperative that all of us—Democrats and Republicans alike—come together to meet this crisis.” - Obama

SO, if we don’t do as the international bankers please, then we have DOOMSDAY, super-depression, everything goes to hell in America; basically.

OBAMA, MCCAIN, & BUSH:
YOU TELL ME, IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOUR MASTERS SAY, WE’LL RUIN ALL OF AMERICA. WELL, THAT IS YOUR SIN! IF I DO WHAT YOUR BANK MASTERS SAY, YOU’LL GO ON TO RUIN ALL OF THE WORLD, AND THAT IS MY SIN!

And President Jackson just slapped them all in the face.

Who woulda thunk it? That McCain decided to run with an actual, real conservative this campaign. And to think that the old man had a leaning towards pro-choicer/big government guy Tom Ridge. The one dissenting faction from the Republican base, the libertarian wing as grown by Ron Paul supporters such as myself, seems to buzz alot about McCain choosing Palin. In fact, many were saying that should Paul have taken the nomination, Palin would have made the best choice for VP. Well, there are a whole lot of things I do not like about McCain. In fact when it comes down to it I probably disagree with him on most of his issues- such as stem cell research, the war, and his infamous amnesty agenda (I could go on). However, it seems like he picked the antinode to all that crap- a staunch pro-lifer, fiscal conservative, economic reformer, libertarian-leaning endorser of RON PAUL (she endorsed him in the Alaska primary).

Actually, I was so disgusted with the illusion of choice that my vote would have came down to, “which U.S. president-to-be would kill the least amount of people?” Now, if Palin can make waves in her pro-life advocacy in stubborn Washington.... or if there is even a CHANCE she can… then I’m stepping over to the McCain side. Understand though, my vote is almost %100 due to the selection of Mrs. Palin.

Way to go.

Party Principles

over

Party Unity

AMEN.

The following is a letter written by small government conservatives who prefer party principles over party “unity.” The represented includes the millions of Ron Paul supporters and other traditional Republicans who refuse to give their vote to an unsatisfactory candidate, Senator John McCain. For me, I dove more into this stance when Mr. McCain said he would consider pro-choicers as possible a VP.

Letter To The National GOP

August 19, 2008

Republican National Committee
310 First Street
Washington, D. C. 20003

Attn: Mike Duncan
Chairman, Republican National Committee

We, the undersigned, wish to convey our thoughts to you on the following matter.

Most of us feel that the presumptive Presidential Candidate, Senator John McCain, is a fine individual (some of us don’t), but he can not and will not win the 2008 race for the Presidency of the United States of America for the following reasons:

1. The Democratic candidate, Senator Barack Obama, currently has a much stronger following of young people and independents. In a head to head race with Senator John McCain and no third party contenders, Senator Barack Obama would easily win the Presidency. Some pundits are saying “in a landslide.”
2. Former GOP Representative Bob Barr has entered the race on the Libertarian ticket which will siphon votes away from Senator John McCain and the GOP. (The Nader effect) Traditionally, the Libertarian candidate gets 1% of the vote, however pundits are estimating that former GOP Representative Bob Barr will garner 5-8% or more. This is something the Libertarians are very excited about.
3. Senator John McCain is a pro-war candidate. National polls show that 70% of American voters are against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore, a large number of the voting public will vote against Senator John McCain based on this fact.
4. The Scott McClellan book might become a bigger issue for Senator John McCain due to his close ties with President George W. Bush.
5. All indications are showing Senator John McCain violated his own McCain-Feingold Laws when pledging FEC money for securing a bank loan, and then ignored the laws and exceeded the spending caps.
6. Senator John McCain and his lobbyist ties are causing the campaign to lose key staff and paint an image of Senator John McCain contrary to the image he has tried to broadcast in this race.
7. Senator John McCain and his temper scares most Americans and opens up the potential that he could say or do something rash, further jeopardizing Americans and American interests.
8. Senator John McCain admits he knows very little about economics. This comes at a time when our nation is on the verge of huge financial issues with growing debt, escalating oil prices, devaluation of the dollar, and huge trade deficits and ever expanding borrowing from China.
9. etc., etc., etc.

Given light of these facts, it seems clear to us that Senator John McCain will not win the Presidency of the United States of America; and we are part of that swing vote that will NOT be voting for McCain, but would vote for a GOP candidate if the right candidate were presented.

The core GOP members who have pledged “Party Unity” and to vote for Senator John McCain (even though for the vast majority of them he was not their first choice in the early primaries) will vote for ANY candidate the GOP places before the American voter. So this number is a constant, however not enough of a number to beat Obama.

The one candidate in the GOP we feel can win the Presidency for the GOP is Representative Dr. Ron Paul from Texas. We feel that he can bring a Presidency win to the GOP in 2008 for the following reasons:

1. Representative Dr. Ron Paul has / had a huge young voter following and would bring those independent voters back to the GOP and away from Senator Barack Obama.
2. Representative Dr. Ron Paul would steal ALL the thunder from Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party, delivering that lost 5-8% back to the GOP.
3. Representative Dr. Ron Paul would maintain the constant, core GOP voter. Those who want “Party Unity” and a GOP Presidency would unite behind Representative Dr. Ron Paul.
4. Representative Dr. Ron Paul has garnered the MOST contributions from our military of any GOP contender. That alone speaks volumes.
5. The Scott McClellan book would have no effect on Representative Dr. Ron Paul due to his sterling image and reputation.
6. According to GOP Senator Tom Coburn, he feels “Many Republicans are waiting for a consultant or party elder to come down from the mountain and, in Moses-like fashion, deliver an agenda and talking points on stone tablets. But the burning bush, so to speak, is delivering a blindingly simple message: Behave like Republicans.” WSJ - 5/27/07 Page A21 “Republicans Are in Denial” - Representative Dr. Ron Paul is such a Republican with such a message.
7. Representative Dr. Ron Paul can fill the coffers of the GOP, just look at his fund raising successes at the end of last year.
8. Representative Dr. Ron Paul is a man of principle, the Constitution, and TRUE core Republican beliefs. He understands our economic issues and our international situations. If you have any questions about this, read his book, “The Revolution”, a New York Times Best Seller.
9. and so much more…

We feel it is our obligation as Americans to let you know our positions and reasons. You may ignore this letter and our signatures, or act upon them. The choice is yours. Win the Presidency in 2008 with Ron Paul, or lose with “Party Unity” and John McCain.

We, the undersigned, pledge to NOT vote for GOP candidate Senator John McCain. We declare that we WILL vote for GOP candidate Representative Dr. Ron Paul as President of the United States of America for the reasons expressed above.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned

Two days before the Russians entered South Ossetia, the American-sponsored Georgian military forces did, killing many.

I’m not saying the Russian government is good, but they are certainly not the ones to blame here, regardless of watch your obedient media lapdogs tell you.

Should McCain side with Tom Ridge as his VP running mate- who is pro-choice- then what is the real difference between McCain and Obama? The LIFE issue is among the most important for many conservatives. For many years we have been let down by our so-called “pro-life” leaders who in the end, really don’t give a crap because all they want is power. Yes, McCain can pay lip-service to the cause of life in this Fox News article, but it is too clear: he just doesn’t give a crap. Unfortunately now, the difference between both parties are blurred. One can never trust the slimy federal government to do its job and REPRESENT.

Here’s the article:
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/13/mccain-says-hed-consider-pro-choice-vp/

From Fox News:
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/07/whos-the-greenest-convention-planners-strive-to-be-energy-efficient/

Democratic and Republican convention planners are in a race, not to nominate the best presidential candidate, but to be greener and cleaner than the competition.

Officials in both host cities — Denver, Colo., for Democrats and St. Paul., Minn., for Republicans — are busy making sure their conventions are as energy-efficient as possible, powered by alternative fuel sources and full of ways for guests to be environmentally conscious.

When it comes to the global warming marketing scam that will dramatically reduce our economy, the door for debate is now SHUT- Thanks to the state “Parties” and state media.

have fun with the whole “CHANGE” mantra, whether you’re voting for “heads” or “tails” of this worthless “penny.”

British Kids Encouraged To Become “Climate Cops”

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Monday, July 28, 2008

A leading British energy company blitzed the newspapers with full page colour advertisements this weekend which encourage children to sign up as “climate cops” and keep “climate crime case files” on their families, friends and neighbours.

The ads, run by Npower, promote a website at http://www.climatecops.com where “trainees” must complete three missions before they can join the “elite cadets” and “train to become a climate cop”.

These missions basically consist of a barrage of eco propaganda which the child must simply engage in in order to be accepted as a special agent of the green brigade.

The site offers a selection of downloads, including a pack of “climate crime cards“, which instruct recruits to spy on families, friends and relatives, encouraging each of them to build up a written “climate crime case file”.

I have been really surprised these past few years by the environmentalist religion. Already have green reusable bags appeared in grocery and retail stores, already have cities and states looking into passing “eco-friendly” laws, and already have the UN and these same towns looking into universally passing something called a “carbon tax.” Wait a minute, hold up! Before I get charged with “in-action” or as Al Gore so kindly put, a “flat-earther”, I would like to say the debate on global warming is still up for grabs! Or rather, the debate has not yet happened! If we are going to pass such serious legislation and have every single company in the U.S. jump on the “green” bandwagon without thinking twice then by God there needs to be at least a open debate on the subject in Congress and in every single town that is interested in the green stuff. It seems to me they’re just skipping debate and passing laws.

As the founder of the Weather Channel and more and more reputable scientists claim, if there is any faulty science out there- global warming is it. While environmentalists proclaim the so-called urgency of the situation (save Earth or we’re all going to die - just watch The Day After Tomorrow or The Happening), the fact is thanks to the weather phenomenon “La Nina”, Earth hasn’t warmed since 1998; it has actually cooled. All this, and people like Alanis Morisette still say we should use only one square of toilet paper when we go to the bathroom to help save the planet. All this, Mr. John Travolta promotes despite his five private jets that sit on his driveway; all this, Mr. Al Gore lectures endlessly on, despite his mansion that uses more than 20x the average American’s energy consumption. However, I’m sure they’ll be exempt from the carbon tax that we’ll all be sure to pay in the near future.

Want to help save the planet? Get rid of the trees and all plant-life, they love carbon dioxide! Or better, stop breathing so you’ll reduce your carbon outtake! Bottom line is, the debate is being shunned over a faulty issue that will have repercussions for civilization as a whole. Open the doors, City Hall.

The City Council of Canton, Ohio has decided its citizens should be fined, then jailed if they do not keep their lawns clean-cut.

Reminds me of getting jailed in East Grand Forks, MN for having a trashy car in your yard.

This is an Op-Ed I just recently wrote for the Grand Forks, ND Herald.

Wow, I never thought I’d see the day in America where its citizens are getting sent to the slammer simply based on the appearance of their own vehicle- which they rightly own as their own piece of private property. But today was that today; in the Wednesday, May 14th edition of the Grand Forks Herald comes the article titled, “EGF to Crack Down on Junk Cars - City to threaten offenders with fines, jail time, and confiscation.” Basically, what is going on is that any law-abiding citizen (aka an offender) with a junk car in East Grand Forks - meaning rusty cars, beaten-up old ones, flat-tired cars, pickups and trailers used as dumpsters as displayed on a EGF Police Dept. Slideshow (according to the article)- is subject to a crackdown that includes fines, confiscation and even time in jail. This is ALL because it is an inconvenience for other people to lay their eyes upon such ugly ducklings. This whole crackdown is similar to something called Eminent Domain, a recent federal law that allows any American city to bulldoze over their citizens’ homes in favor of economic development.

If you still don’t see it and you’re still asking what the problem is, it is this- this is one of the most un-American things I ever heard of and a clear violation of the 5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, which states: No Person… shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. Besides the fact that there simply is no law in East Grand Forks against owning an ugly-looking car (nor should there be), it is not remiscent of a free society. I don’t care if every single lawn in that entire town hosts an ugly vehicle that’s missing a tire or two, it is NOT an excuse to threaten the liberty and property of its citizens simply out of mere inconvenience. Finally, I conclude with this, in all things American: What is America? I’ll remind you: it is more than just a piece of land. It is solidly built upon an IDEA. We are everything with this idea and nothing without it. This revolutionary idea is the U.S. Constitution. Don’t forget it; stand up for it.
