The Republican Party has gone back to its roots, and the Tree of Liberty is dying.
I have been and still am a supporter of Ron Paul, not so much for and of the man, but for the ideals and strict embodiment of what is right and wrong that he portrays and I believe he holds to be true.
Ron Paul has consistently stated that he wanted the Republican Party to "get back to its roots", I am pretty sure he meant what the party stood far in the 50's, 60's, and 80's, I left off the era of Nixon,
( he may have been one of the first neo-conservatives in my opinion, the fact that Henry Kissinger was his Sec. of State goes a long way to adding credence to this belief ). (neo-conservatives = old democrats that took over the republican party)
In those times the Republican party stood in a pretty stark contrast to the liberal ( just look at them now, they were tame back then), democrats. They were for smaller government, local control of local issues, and NON-INTERVENTIONALIST foreign policy (this means it isn't Americas responsibility to police and tell the rest of the world what to do).
A democrat president Woodrow Wilson, got us into World War I,
( read up on the silly ass polices that he instituted such has openly pressing to have American citizens travel through a war zone on British armed ships even after Germany stated that all British ships were the enemy) he also signed and lobbied through the federal reserve act. Also lobbied for extremely punitive terms in the Versailles Treaty that later allowed for Hitler to come to power in a pissed of Germany. The fractional reserve banking system that the federal reserve act started up anew (go back and study up on the whig party and the republican party at the time of lincoln thats where all this will end up, so be patient while I get there), led to the Great Depression, when we got........
Franklin D. Roosevelt, a democrat that can be blamed for most any modern big government program, even the Kudzu that we have everywhere we don't want it. Roosevelt near about single handedly started up that ultimate entangling alliance we know as the united nations. Also there is a most convincing argument that if Roosevelt had not sold arms to China , (a violation of our own neutrality laws) coordinated a trade boycott, and frozen assets of the Japanese in the U.S. starting in 1937, well before Japan signed the Tripartite pact with Germany and Italy, that Japan would have never attacked Pearl Harbor, and we would have possibly been able to avoid World War II.
Then we get to democrat Harry S. Truman who got us into the Korean War using the unConstitutional argument that Roosevelt's united nations nullified the American Constitution's requirement that Congress declare war, (more parenthesis; we have not declared a war since world war II and we have not won a war since then ether, this is convenient for the folks that want the war, because with no set enemy, no concrete purpose, and no one to sign a peace treaty with, it can go on indefinitely, which connects back to Wilson's Federal reserve act and the great boom a war economy can supposedly create).
Next we had JFK who was actually pretty conservative, and even wanted to have the US Treasury print our own currency instead of the Federal Reserve. He got shot you know.
Then we had Lydon Baines Johnson, who took up where Roosevelt left off, and if it is a big government program Roosevelt didn't start up, you can blame it on Johnson, example Medicare, and the Federal government screwing around with education, and of course fighting France's war in Vietnam.
Jimmy Carter, near about the worst one we ever had. The democrats got taken over by the marxist, and socialist. A far cry from Andrew Jackson.
All during this time except for Nixon, the republican party stood for all the things I listed in the third paragraph, and more, they were a Constitutional party, a party that believed that the rule of law, and not that the whim of the guy who was president was all powerful. They were a party that believed in individual liberty, low taxes, and freedom not only to succeed, but the freedom to fail, and not have the government bail you out. They believed in equality of opportunity not equality of results.
Now the republicans have been taken over by the old democrats. Last night I watched a roll call vote of the republican party where they nominated a man that has more in common with Carter, Johnson, Roosevelt, and Wilson than he has in common with Jefferson ( Thomas not George), or Robert Taft, Coolidge, or Reagan.
I watched them nominate a "maverick" that was in the running to be John Kerry's Vice President, a man that has his name on some of the most liberal legislation in the last 20 years, a member of the keating 5, a man that sees no problem with us being in a foreign country for a 100 year occupation, a man that thinks that borrowing money we don't have from other countries with no hope of being able to pay it back is sound financial policy, a man that last year at this time the same folks that love him now said he was too liberal and too apt to fly off of the handle to be seriously considered for president.
I saw Joseph Liberman, Al Gores VP choice give a speech at the republican convention. "Republicans" think this is great.
Winston has put the past down the memory hole to be incinerated and we let him do it, we helped him do it ( read the book 1984).
The republicans speak of a big tent that has plenty of room in it, guess what there is no room for real conservatives or libertarians.
George Bush fooled me twice, he fooled all of us who called our selves republicans or did he?
Did George Bush and his administration and now John McCain fool us or have they just taken the republican party back to its roots.
The republican party came out of the old Whig party, the party of the the federalist, the ones that wanted a strong central government and a central banking system, the ones that did not want local decisions to be made locally, the ones who wanted to allocate tax money taken from the citizenry and give it to private business, the party that believed in the Alien and Sedition laws, the party that invaded a sovereign nation, and then instituted a puppet government over that nation for the next 30 years, ( See the war of Northern Aggression).
I am sorry Dr. Paul but the republican party has been taken back to its roots, and we never even had a chance to jump of the falling tree before it hit the ground.
I am no longer a republican. Dr. Paul why not join me.
P.S. Unless Bob Barr really convinces me that he repudiates a lot of what he did as a congressman, and gets rid of Wayne Allen Root on the ticket,Idon't see myself as a libertarian ( in the party sense) ether.
Sarah Palin seems pretty good, but she isn't running for president.
Chuck Baldwin the Constitution party candidate looks the best right now.

I am running as an independent candidate for County Commissioner for district 2. My platform is a simple one, if the County is not supposed to do it, don't do it, if the County is supposed to do it, do it, and do it as inexpensively and efficiently as possible. According to the Constitution of Alabama:
SECTION 35
Objective of government.
That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to
protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property,
and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and
oppression.
And further the duties delegated to the County Commission by the Code of Alabama are as follows:
Section 11-3-11
Powers and duties generally.
(a) The county commission shall have authority:
(1) To direct, control and maintain the property of the county as it
may deem expedient according to law, and in this direction and control
it has the sole power to locate the courts in the rooms of the
courthouse and to designate the rooms to be occupied by the officers
entitled to rooms therein, including the circuit judge if resident in
the county, and to change the location of the courts and the
designation of the rooms for officers as it may deem best and most
expedient, and this shall be done by order of the county commission
entered upon the minutes of the county commission at a regular meeting
of the county commission. In the event the courthouse is inadequate to
supply office rooms for such officers, the county commission may lease
such office rooms in a convenient location in the county site and pay
the rental from the county fund.
(2) To levy a general tax, for general county purposes and a special tax, for special purposes, according to this Code.
(3) To examine, settle and allow all accounts and claims chargeable against the county.
(4) To examine and audit the accounts of all officers having the
care, management, collection or disbursement of money belonging to the
county or appropriated for its use and benefit.

in the county as are not inconsistent with any law of the state.
(6) To punish for contempt by fine not exceeding $10.00 and imprisonment not exceeding six hours.
(7) To subpoena, examine and compel the attendance of witnesses and
the production of books and papers before the county commission in the
same manner as the probate court.
(8) To contract for and have made map or plat books showing all
subdivisions of land that have been heretofore or that may hereafter be
made in the county.
(9) To compromise on such terms as it may deem just all doubtful
claims in favor of the county when such claims arise on account of
moneys heretofore paid in good faith by order of such county commission
or in any case where they deem it to the best interest of the county.
(10) To make an appropriation, in no case to exceed $750.00 per
year, to install and maintain an exhibit of the agricultural and
mineral resources of the county.

and substance of local bills which may be introduced in the legislature
for the benefit of the county, or in reference to subjects or matters
exclusively relating to county business or affairs.

circuit judge, the clerk and register of the circuit court, the sheriff
and jailer, the tax assessor and tax collector and the judge of probate
in the county, and to pay for the same out of the general funds of the
county, and said county commission may, in like manner and for the same
officers, establish telephones in both courthouses where the said
officers maintain two offices in the county and must install such
telephone upon the request of the officer entitled thereto.
(13) To make appropriations out of the county treasury to pay
premiums on livestock that may be exhibited in livestock shows held in
the county.
(14) To appropriate, where the state or federal authorities have
taken up the works of farm demonstration or the organization of farm
life clubs for the promotion of agriculture, such sum or sums as it may
deem adequate and necessary for aiding in such work.
(15) To expend money for the purpose of improving the sanitary
conditions of the county by laying trunk lines of sewers and
constructing sewage disposal plants located in localities contiguous to
thickly populated communities and to prescribe the terms on which the
owners of houses or householders may connect with such lines of sewers,
but no such lines of sewers shall be laid without the written approval
of the executive officer of the state board of health, such approval to
be based on the belief that the laying of any proposed line will
materially improve health conditions. The county commission shall have
the power to require owners of property in the county to connect to its
sewer system any facilities used in the collection or disposal of
sewage. If the owner of any property in the county fails to connect any
such facility located on such property to such sewer within 10 days
after delivery to the occupant of such property of written notice to
make such connection, the county commission may cause such connection
to be made and shall have the right to enter upon private property to
the extent required to make such connection. The cost to the county of
connecting to such system any facility used in the collection or
disposal of sewage shall be reimbursed to the county by the owner of
the property on which such facility is located, and the obligation of
the owner of such property to pay such cost to the county shall be

Any other provisions of this subdivision to the contrary
notwithstanding, no county commission shall have the power to require
any owner of property to connect to a county sewer system if (i) the

payment of bonds or other indebtedness and to invest such sinking fund
in such interest-bearing securities or deposit the same on
interest-bearing account within the state as it may deem wise.
(19) To set aside, appropriate and use county funds or revenues for
the purpose of developing, advertising and promoting the agricultural,
mineral, timber, water, labor and all other resources of every kind of
the county and for the purpose of locating and promoting agricultural,
industrial and manufacturing plants, factories and other industries in
the county. The county commission is authorized to enter into contracts
with any person, firm, corporation or association to carry out the
purposes set forth in this subdivision.
(20) To insure in solvent companies the courthouse, jail, machine

and bridges of the county may be made from the gasoline funds of the
county and payments of premiums on insurance coverage on the

So you see a lot of the mess they tried to pass through during the last years, was just that mess. Using the actual laws and codes that are supposed to limit the power of the Commission to do just that should be the duty of every commissioner. If something has become antiquated and more authority over a specific area is needed, the county should not just take the power it should let the people decide by ballot or present it to the legislature to grant that new power, not just take it.
There is nothing conservative about todays conservatives
There is nothing conservative about, the government running the education system, there is nothing conservative about the government wiretapping or otherwise ease dropping on us without a warrant, there is nothing conservative about John McCain. There is nothing conservative about voting for the republican party blindly just because they are the republican party. Just because Sean Hannity or Rush tells us a thought or an idea is conservative doesn't make it so. There is nothing conservative about giving up our liberty for temporary security.
The Supreme Court ruled that the guys at Guantanamo have the right of habeas corpus (let the body be brought), or the right to know in a court of law what evidence there is against them, and answer the charges. All the so called conservatives are throwing a hissy because we are "giving them access to Constitutional rights".
Well, if they are really conservative and believe in a strict constructionist approach then there is no other option. I quote from our declaration of independence.
" We hold the truths self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
I know that this is not the Constitution, but it is the train of thought and the document that set modern conservative thought and our country in motion. In a legal system that loves to use precedent instead of law, as law it would seem obvious that the declaration of independence should be a vital piece in the foundation of our later Constituion and laws.
The concept of all men being equal and rights being given to us by God not governments has been lost on the people that are passed off on us as conservatives today. GOD gave us our rights not men. And our government that was set up to safeguard and protect all men's God given rights, has no business saying that only people born in America receive their rights from God, and all other peoples receive what ever we decide is appropriate.
That said, present the evidence against them, convict them if guilty, and carry out the sentence with as most haste as possible. We should not lower or selves to act like the bad guys by holding folks indefinitely with no charges being brought, citizen or not.
We should continue to be that shining light on the hill that Reagan spoke of, not a 3 watt compact florescent under a horse blanket in a secret prison on another countries land.
This just made me think of something else, we have no diplomatic relations with Cuba, but we have a military prison on the island of Cuba. What right do we have to have a military base in another country that we won't even talk to? That is not conservative. That is a hold over from the democrats, that the republicans seem to see no problem with. You know what would be conservative?
It would be conservative to bring our troops home to our Country, to defend our borders, to drill for and utilize our own natural resources, to quit telling every other nation in the world how to run their own affairs, to quit guaranteeing equality of results instead of equality of oppretunity, to stop using the Federal Reserve, to use or on United States Treasury's Constitutional power to coin and regulate money backed by Gold, to give back the sovereign states their sovereignty, to let people on a local level decide local matters, these are conservative ideas, these are also ideas that we never here from todays so called conservatives. They are to busy telling us that everything that the democrat's used to stand for is now what the republican party should stand for and thats okay and the way it has always been.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in America again. I don't mean the over regulated, top heavy, all intrusive, policeman of the world, America that we live in currently. I mean the United States of America that we were supposed to be. Look at the phrase "The United States of America"
The means the, United means joined together, States at the time of the Constitution and for all of history prior to it meant a sovereign political body, or a nation/country. So when the Constitution was ratified what the people thought they were getting was a Union of Sovereign individual nations. Each State was it's own nation. Each state handled all of it's own business by it's self for it's self.
The Union they joined into was only supposed to supplement the individual States in the manners specifically allowed in the Constitution that the individual sovereign states ratified, and joined with voluntarily. The Union was not supposed to become more powerful than the states and was never meant to usurp the states or hold them to any other laws or regulations than what was specifically dictated and allowed in the Constitution.
Now look at today. We have a Federal government that thinks it is their function to make laws nullifying cell phone contracts that people were stupid enough to sign without reading. We have a Federal government that puts regulations and incentives in place to turn food into fuel, thereby creating food shortages, instead of allowing private individuals and companies to drill for fuel here on our own land, thereby raising both food and fuel prices. We have a federal government that dictates because 167 people out of 304,320,044, got sick that the rest of us can't eat a tomato. We have a Federal government that thinks it is in charge of the whole world and not the head of a Union of sovereign states, like it should be. We have a federal government that tells us what we can say and where we can say it (look up free speech zones), wants to dictate how much money we are allowed to earn, tells us that we must then give most of that money to the government or face jail time, tells us what we should eat, what we should drink, how much exercise we should get, where our kids go to school, what they will learn and not learn, what we should think, and sends us the bill for figuring out all of this stuff for us, that we should be figuring out and deciding for ourselves, and our families.
What kind of sense does it make that if the city of Wetumpka, the County of Elmore, or the State of Alabama want s to raise funds that they have to abide by what the Federal government says, who gave them that power? What kind of sense does it make when local cities and counties apply for Federal monies? Where did the Federal government get the money? From taxes from the people in the local areas.
Our government today is completely upside down domestically and in our foreign policy. We shouldn't have the Federal government in every aspect of our lives, nor should it be meddling with the affairs of other nations. We shouldn't go around the world telling other people what to do any more than we should be told by folks in Washington that we can't buy a tomato. Or use cane sugar in a soft drink instead of corn syrup.
We shouldn't be borrowing money from a private bank (the Federal Reserve), when our Constitution gives the power and authority to coin money (interest free) to the United States Treasury. We should act like a democracy when we are not, we are supposed to be a Constitutional Republic made up of a Union of Sovereign States.
I am one of a small minority. I believe that the government does not own me, my labor, my compensation I receive for that labor, my child, my land, anything.
I own it. It is mine, it is my wifes, it is my sons. This includes what I think and what I believe, what books I want to read, what light bulbs I want, what I want to eat, what I want to listen to, where I want to travel, and etc. et. all..
I believe that I can best control my assets, that I can best provide for my family.
I own myself.
I believe that no one else has should have the right to my property. I believe that the role of government should be to protect our borders, and all the other specifically mentioned Constitutional duties, nothing else.
For the last 143 years the wonderful government that our founders framed has been destroyed. What was a voluntary union of states has morphed into an all powerful central government, and is on the way to even bigger international government. What was once the role and responsibility of the individual is now considered the role of government. Our government was formed to protect the rights of the individual, not to dictate the abolition of our God given natural rights. We were the ones that justified the government, we were not justified by the government.
"That to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers
from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "
I want to return to this principal found in our Declaration of Independence. Please read the Constitution of the United States, we are in no way governed by it any longer except when it fits the governments position. The guys that wrote this document used the combined histories of the world to form the greatest system of governance ever conceived. We the people have let the leaders we have elected totally contort and completely muck up our Country.
Do something for me, pick 10 federal laws or agencies at random, and see if you have a majority of them that are Constitutional. You already know the answer.
We currently have a man running for President, that will do his best to bring us back to what we should be. And he is called the nut. Because he can see that we as a country have fallen from greatness, and are turning ourselves into a 3rd world country. And yet the Republicans do their best to exclude and ignore him. You know why? Because the republican party on a national level is not a party of the "republic" they have become the democrats of the 1980's and the democrat's have become the socialist and communist of old Russia. We have a man who can not only help save the country, but also save the republican party. Yet they do nothing to promote him.
We have been brainwashed into believing that running government within it's limits is somehow nutty and just plain impossible in todays world. We have people that call them selves conservatives totally ignore conservatism.
How in the world is keeping our own house in order, and not trying to police the world not conservative?
We are not the world, we are the United States of America. It is not the governments role to rule our individual lives much less rule the lives of people in foreign countries.
VOTE Ron Paul!!!! Dag nab it.
Grow up America and take control of your own lives.
This is what I wish China would import to us. Men that want to be free. This guy and others died for the freedom we throw away. Our founders died for this freedom. Wouldn't our founders be ashamed of us today?
I was all for the "war on terror", when it first started , I like most everyone else was angry about being attacked and wanted someones head for it.
I was all for it when we went to Afghanistan, I was a little more leery when we went into Iraq, since I think that we have no business in the UN let alone being their enforcer, but I went along with it because " it is better to fight them "over there" than over here".
As it went on and I saw that the Democrats ( and Republicans ) were not going to let our guys fight to win. Their hands were tied at every turn, and when they did fight to win our own politicians and citizens would demonise them and try to have them court martialed or even worse. They basically became cannon fodder. ( rocks, home made bomb, and car bomb fodder to be more exact.
About two years ago, I started to want an end to it, because even though I still believed it is "better to fight them there" than here I started to see that if they wanted to come here nothing was stopping them, they could walk right across the border at any point and do what they will. Our border guards were put in prison for doing their job on the Mexican border, and the rest of them were sent over seas. So if all this was about defending America it was a piss-poor way to do it. And still our government wouldn't let our guys fight to win, and they got killed.
I don't believe the boon-doogle about it was for the oil, if that was true then why was oil $27.00 a barrel when we went in and pushing a hundred currently? I don't know what is was all about or what the heck happened to the President I elected in 2000. When the "surge" started it seems everyone forgot about our guys being there, pretty much because less guys were dieing.
But, I thought more and more why are we even there in the first place, how would we like it if Northern Mongolia came over here and told us we were not allowed to have our ( insert whatever ) that they had given to and helped is develop in the first place?
What if Northern Mongolia invaded us and took over our capital to " save us" from ourselves. I don't like it when our own government tries to save us from our selves. We would be pissed, I doubt seriously many of us if any would strap some bottle rockets and a gallon of gas to ourselves and drive our trucks into the Mongolian military convoys but we sure as heck would be shooting, kicking, and stabbing to send them back across the ocean.
The longer we kept "fighting to protect democracy and freedom in the world" we lost more and more of our freedom. Our government is doing nothing to protect our own borders and is constantly giving away more and more of our sovereignty. Why? I don't want to believe in the New World Order, Illuminati, CFR hocus pocus, but seriously can our government be so inept or is this stuff for real?
We have the democrats wanting to give us all 40 acres and mule and a cloned chicken in every pot, and we have the republicans wanting to give us bankruptcy and the hatred of the world.
Wouldn't it be nice to just let the rest of the world screw themselves in whatever way they want, bring our guys home, protect our own country's borders, follow the Constitution, let our own people drill for oil here, and quit trying to run everyone else's business?
I have spent the last 20 years of my life fussing at the tv whenever their is a political debate on wanting "my guy" to say the right thing. I have finally found someone who does that. His name in Ron Paul.
Folks say that he is too simplistic in his ideas, they are good ideas but they wouldn't work. You know what?
Doing right is simple, it is trying to do something else and cover it up that is hard. American politicians have been doing it wrong for so long now, that we the people think that wrong is right.
They call him a nut and a crackpot because he wants to follow the law? Because he wants to limit the government, because he wants to be the president of the USA and not the world?
Well, in that case I'm nutty too. I'm so nutty that I want to have our dollar backed by something other than the "full faith and credit of the United States", guess what there ain't much faith and credit there to back it up.
The dang "Euro" is worth $1.50, the Euro didn't even exist 10 years ago and it is better than the dollar. It won't be long until we are going to Mexico to find landscaping jobs, because the peso will be worth more.
Let's stop policing the world, stop redistributing wealth through the entitlement system, stop protecting other nations borders instead of our own, stop taxing hard work, and elect Ron Paul, he won't be able to do it all, but starting something is better than finishing nothing.

I went to Sam's the other day and bought some stuff, I had to wait in line for about 10 minutes to get it because only 6 registers were open, so I gave her my check she gave me my receipt for what is now my merchandise, along with my merchandise.
( Don't miss that point, ownership has now been transferred they no longer have any legal interest in that merchandise )
At the door I was made to wait in another line against my will and asked to present my receipt and allow this lady to rummage through my personnel property. Keep in mind that stuff no longer belongs to Sam's club it is all mine now.
How in the heck do you shop lift something from Sam's in the first place, how do you sneak out a 20 lb can of pork and beans, or a 300 lb bag of dog food, or a 12 gallon box of cereal?
I just had to empty all the contents of the cart out and have them scanned I then paid for them all. They are mine and I don't want to wait at the door and show my stuff to the magic marker lady. I don't want her to magic marker swipe on my receipt I want my receipt clear.
I have had the guy at Wal-Mart stare at me as I check out then let the kids carrying stuff in their hands walk right by him stop me to look in my buggy and at my receipt that he just saw the cashier give me!!!!
It is because he doesn't want to confront the kids that could actually be stealing it is because it is easier for him to harass the ( nice guys/girls ). Well no more from me. It is my stuff and I'm leaving. It is bad enough to have to nearly beg to have them open a register to even take my money for their crap, and wait in line, from now on when the crap has been legally transfered to me, I'm leaving.
