			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Freedom comes at no price.  It came at a price of blood and sacrifice, yes, but it comes at no price set forth by any government institution.  It is without the price of safety, without the price of security, and without the price of limitations on freedoms for safety and security.  Freedom is inherently dangerous, but much safer in itself than so called security and safety, which are just codewords by the current administration for limitations of civil liberties.  Thomas Jefferson would be sick to know that such things are being used to limit the safety and the security of freedom itself &#8211; with the justification of safety and security of the people&#8230; which it really isn&#8217;t.  It hurts more than it helps.  Little old ladies and infants being searched does not increase the safety of the common good &#8211; it hinders it and is a direct assault on the freedom to go forth without molestation by &#8216;security&#8217; guards.</p>
<p>It is an abomination that protesters are cordoned off and placed in little cages away from the rallies and so far out of sight that their words can not be heard.  This is a new low for the government and the two fascist parties of the United States.  Anyone who thinks the Democrats are any different than the Republicans as a whole in their power structure and control is an ignoramus.  How can I prove this?  The exact same box-off-the-protesters methods will be used at both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention; without question this is pretty much silencing of free speech and hindering the right to gather and protest.</p>
<p>Next thing you know they&#8217;ll be taking away more of the gun rights of the people &#8211; either party being guilty mind you.  For a people who cannot arm themselves are a people at the mercy of the government&#8217;s own police forces, and at the mercy of criminals.  The answer is to get rid of weapons bans, and also to get rid of other bans, while allowing for more lawsuits and bigger awards, additionally taking away a few more rights of criminals (i.e. being able to sue because they were shot while breaking into your home.  They should be billed for the bullet &#8211; not given a reward for a botched robbery).</p>
<p>This idiot nation is on its way to Empire and Collapse.  Rome was a republic (flawed I admit) that lasted for hundreds of years.  Then came Sulla, who broke the mold and became the first dictator.  However, Sulla retired and left Rome back to the people (he&#8217;s not all bad) and then came Julius Caesar who planned to do much of the same thing (fix Rome, get rid of some corruption, etc etc and then give it back when he could no longer rule or when he died &#8211; but that got a little messed up when he was killed and his bastard Nephew started the three-way rule that broke down&#8230; then declared himself emperor after having Julius Caesar&#8217;s real son executed). What happens with empires?  They grow complacent, they grow old, they begin to fray at the edges, they become weaker and weaker, then they collapse.  Even as a Democratic Empire we have become complacent with the so called new normal.  It is nothing more than a pure and utter lapse of national judgment&#8230; because everyone is getting stupid.</p>
<p>Back to the point.  Freedom is free &#8211; and there is nothing that should be paid for it except in the defence of it &#8211; not the defence of safety or the defence of security.  I would rather die a free man, and I would rather my children die free, than to die a scared lump of human waste in the fetal position in a corner, watching the terror flags go up and down and being afraid of outright violations of my rights.  You know what?  I am afraid of death, I am afraid of being hurt, and I am afraid of getting blown up or shot &#8211; but I am more afraid of that happening to me from another American citizen than a terrorist.  Even then, I would rather have it happen that way, then be treated like a cow or steer, rounded up and prodded along in lines and then strip searched in the name of security and safety.  I would rather have the uncertainty of no national ID card, and the scare of undocumented immigration than have my DNA, hair, and fingerprints stored in a national database.  I will always take uncertainty and unknown that comes with freedom over certainty and known that comes with the loss of liberty.  And yet&#8230; others continue to cling to the fallacy that is national security and ignore the messages of people like I, or like Ron Paul.</p>
<p>Live free, or die.   It is the only way to live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2007/images/10/09/t1home.paul.ap.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="156" />I saw the news from Nevada.  All I have to say is that they&#8217;re in for it now.</p>
<p>Cutting the convention short like idiots in order to trump the Paul victory that is imminent is a ballsy and dumb move, sure they said their time was up &#8211; but they could buy more.  Next thing you know when they come back from recess they will exclude all Paul supporters &#8211; or try to.</p>
<p>If they don&#8217;t, then Paul will get more delegates as clear sign of things to come.  Mathematically eliminated?  One word.  Bullshit.</p>
<p>What happens when Paul&#8217;s supporters who are un-pledged vote for him in the convention?  What happens when the Paul pledged delegates sit out?  What happens when McCain is still short of the needed pledged delegates to assure a total victory, and Paul&#8217;s supporters are able to secure a deadlock?</p>
<p>Chaos.</p>
<p>Total and utter chaos.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s a good thing &#8211; Chaos leads to change, and change leads to new ideas and new faces in our government.  The message of liberty is not dead, and neither are we.  We, as Paul supporters, are not dead in the water until the end of the National Republican Convention.  We must rally the march and stay strong throughout the ordeal ahead.  Stay committed &#8211; and whenever someone says he can&#8217;t win you better say &#8220;Wait a minute there pal&#8221; and explain to them exactly how we can win.</p>
<p>Continue to flood the states with support, because as long as the state conventions remain undermanned by lackluster Republicans we can unite and show the rest how it is done!  We must continue to gain a following, whether or not the end result is a win.  We must prepare ourselves for a four year rally if necessary, however we must also do all we can in our power right now.</p>
<p>The Revolution is not dead, and neither is Ron Paul.  Fight on for the greater good of the Republic, fight on for the constitution, and fight on for Liberty!</p>
<p><strong>McCain has another thing coming to him if he thinks it is over</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our federal tax system is leading us to an economic apocalypse that has not been seen before.  Our dollar is baseless, our taxes are getting higher, our entire lives are being managed by the federal government&#8217;s tax Gestapo, and normal average Middle Americans are at the center of this assault upon our freedoms to pursue happiness.  We set out with a more perfect union in mind, and we ended up with a federal welfare leaning state of government reliance where there should be self reliance.  We have become the spoon fed bread lined masses of America, dependant upon Big Brother for our needs, and when we trip up Big Brother punches us where it hurts most: Our wallets.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">With this unfair and unconstitutional federal income tax we are being bled dry.  We cannot save, we cannot afford, and we cannot make it when we owe the tax system money that we cannot make to pay off.  We end up in a catch 22 situation in which there is no possibility of escape.  Stuck in the middle, one end is obliteration and homelessness, the other is enslavement to the federal tax system.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It is under these conditions that people become complacent too.  They start to incur debt spending, just like our government does &#8211; it leads by example after all.  Soon, people spend so much in debt just to make ends meet and to be able to eat, that they become insolvent.  Just as our federal government will be too.  So how can we stop this never ending cycle?  We must break it!  We must dethrone the taxman as our masters and abolish the personal income tax.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In fact, if done right, the personal income tax abolishment could end up giving us a 200-400 billion dollar surplus federally per year&#8230; and that is without ending social security (if phased out it would leave us with nearly a trillion in surplus a year).  So how is this possible?  You need to look at the systems in place.  Many states have their own versions of these already &#8211; so transfer responsibility BACK to the states, transfer it all back to where it should be.  In the end, you can end the dependency on a tax upon our income, and states will determine the best ways of fund collecting.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">However, this also requires the use of Ron Paul&#8217;s foreign policies.  Free trade, and non-intervention.  Not isolationist, but rather anti-interventionist.  We pull our troops back in this endless war that is bankrupting our government and our morals, we pull our bases out of all overseas operations.  This will cut billions upon billions.  That is not to say we let anyone go though &#8211; rather they are stationed here at home, upon our borders and our naval installations on our land.  Our policy should be defensive, not aggressive.  It is absolutely asinine that we should be the ones to start a war &#8211; we are the ones that FINISH wars.  That is where our morality as a nation lies.  Will we be the ones to attack for resources, or will we be the ones to defend our allies and ourselves when we are attacked?  The moral high ground rests with the latter, and ‘safety&#8217; be damned.  We are more secure, and we are safer if we play defense&#8230; because that gives no one a really good reason to touch us.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I personally would rather die a free man, than live in a country that is self obsessed with the bullshit reason that is safety.  I want my freedom to be just that &#8211; free.   Sacrifice freedom for safety?  Bugger off.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They always said Death and Taxes were the two things you could count on.  Well, it seems that death and taxes go hand in hand.  Taxes are the root cause of our internal rot.  The cause of taxes is of course, government.  The cause of bigger government is socialist ideas in which people think throwing money will fix things.</p>
<p>In the end what really happens is the bigwig politicians take the money and end up crushing the little guy who makes the money &#8211; however no one has had money of any worth since Nixon and the debasing of the currency from the gold standard.  What do we have now?  The &#8216;How does the country feel&#8217; standard.</p>
<p>At least gold never got depressed.</p>
<p>We have a successful director, actor, and otherwise talented man named Wesley Snipes being sent to prison because he did not want to pay an illegal taxation.  Yes, it is illegal, when it was passed Ohio never ratified it correctly, and then later a judge retroactively declared it legal &#8211; which is a no no.  In any case the government has become reliant on this tax, and in so doing puts the burden of the need of the government upon the backs of the poor and the middle class, and finally the rich too.</p>
<p>What do we gain from income tax?  A perpetual war time economy fueled by a standing army and military industrial complex, a social security system that is sucking the life out of the next generations, a medicare and medicaid system that are just pure contemptible horse manure, and finally a need for more money.  The Federal Government is like a crack addict, snorting up all our greenbacks while printing more and living in a delirium that everything will be okay, in spite of the enormous deficit.</p>
<p>To fix this inevitable collapse of our government, which is on the way to becoming a global empire that uses war to sustain it, we must look no further than Thomas Jefferson and Jeffersonian ideals.</p>
<p>Smaller government, and more state responsibility.  Today the states have less than a fourth of the responsibility they should have.  We should therefore eliminate many massive federal programs, and instead turn over control to the states.  If you did Medicare and Medicaid this way, along with many other programs (agricultural department is redundant, each state already has one) you could save enough to be making a surplus right now of a few hundred billion dollars.  Not enough to cut personal income tax though.</p>
<p>However, if we shut down the war, and shut down our over sea empire, bring all our men and women home where they ought to be, and end this forsaken activity of empire building we could save billions more.  Enough to eye the Personal Income Tax and start getting the chainsaw ready.  Furthermore if you look at the tax number, you will see that eventually you can save 200 or more <strong>BILLION</strong> a year and still <strong>DROP THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX.</strong> Sorry for those of you who like grammar, I had to point that out.</p>
<p>Additionally I did this without even touching social security.  Phase that out and you have a +400-600 billion per year to that 200 billion.</p>
<p>If I was able to at this point, I would also deregulate many things and allow for the market to rule, along with lifting restrictions on consumers and their direct affect upon it.  By allowing them to sue for environmental damages, and anything else that is wrong, the EPA will be secondary to set precedent and real damages to companies that cause pollution.</p>
<p>Under this system we will have a country that is lighter, and better, at the federal level.  That surplus could be put into a government trust &#8211; and gold would be the standard again.  Eventually there will be trillions in a surplus.  What will this do?  Assure our country&#8217;s survival for the foreseeable future and beyond.  It could be a trust fund that would only be used when needed, such as disasters and war.  If it saved up 40 trillion dollars, sans the current inflation because of the gold standard, we could fight a war to mars and back if warranted.</p>
<p>I am not an anti-war person &#8211; however I am anti-aggressor.  We should always be fighting the good war, the defensive battle.  Never sacrifice freedom for safety.  Never sacrifice our moral authority for money.  We must be the shining city on the hill, except instead of a city a whole country that leads the future.  We cannot do this in disgrace.  The step to bringing back out glory is to bring back our government.</p>
<p>We have to be fighting for the glories of our past, the righteous and pure ideals of a war we fought against tyranny.  We must not be that tyranny, we must be liberty, we must be justice, we must be the embodiment of an enlightened society that is out of the dark ages and not tempted by power and greed.  We must have hope of a better future, and we must have hope of one that will look to the constitution for guidance, not as a parchment made by dead men 230 years ago, but as a guide set forth by those who saw the future and within it left the ideals of a better country and form of government.</p>
<p>We must also bring in the philosophy of the smartest man to ever live: Thomas Jefferson.  Less is best.  Local people making local decisions and solving local problems, not some federal dictatorial cover-all system.  That is not what we are about.  We are about the individual.</p>
<p>Through this the education of this country will improve once again.  Fighting for our freedoms should not end with the end of our great revolution, it should never end.  Dissent should be protected, and fostered.  Opinion is sacred &#8211; but the ability to clash is even more holy in the eyes of a government run correctly.</p>
<p>We face before us the choices of a generation that can either salvage the mistakes of the past, or continue them, or worse.  We have the power to change this country, and make it better for us and our children, and their children.  It is through the virtue of a government run for the good of the people and the freedom of the people that we can regain what we lost.</p>
<p>We shall regain our trust, we shall regain our image, we shall regain our moral authority, we shall regain our secularism, we shall regain our economy and we will regain our jobs.  By making our country more competitive and leading by example we can light the world on fire with change.  Others shall follow our new groove, our new style of the old ways that made us great in the past.  But to do this, to accomplish it all, we must not vote the lesser evil.</p>
<p>We must vote for someone who believes in all of this as much as I do.</p>
<p>We must support no matter the odds, no matter the cost, and we must MARCH in JULY to show our solidarity.</p>
<p>Viva Le Revolution, and Viva Ron Paul!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Change must come.  It must come quickly, and to do so you need to seriously evaluate the conditions of today.  We have a faltering economy, in spite of what the white washers say, proclaiming its fallacy-ridden strength.  We have a crumbling infrastructure killed by the stifling effect of a non-free capitalist system that would otherwise let companies fund many projects that otherwise are left on the wayside due to lack of tax revenue.  We have an exploding Social Security, Medicare, and Medicate fiasco, and a president who can&#8217;t pull his thumb out of his ass long enough to do anything about it.  We have a war that is draining us of our money and our fuel.  To top all of this off the top three contenders are seen as the only ones, while Ron Paul is ignored.</p>
<p>Clinton will not fix our problems, and she was never against the war &#8211; for her to say so is like Hitler saying he loved the Jews &#8211; but he only voted to have them gassed.  Extreme example?  Ask the dead from her vote in support of an illegal and unjust war fought in a land that had not acted against us.  We were and are the aggressors in this conflict, in a country we have no business being in &#8211; Ron Paul of course saw this and voted against war.  Besides this she will increase the problems relating to medicare and medicaid with Hillicare and Hillicade, increasing our taxes to pay for a failing system that will only get <strong>worse</strong> if it is socialized.</p>
<p>Obama promises much, but in actuality says little.  In fact he&#8217;s spoken so carefully there are no positions that can really be concretely landed upon him.  Of course he will support the democratic line, I am sure, and from it comes ever increasing state run medical and insurance, along with the horrifying prospects of becoming a socialist free-market deprived state.  Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave at this abomination of a political entity (he did not like any political parties from what I have read, and thought there should be none) that brought about Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, along with a huge slew of organizations that should have been the responsibilities of the individual states.</p>
<p>We have the Republican Front Runner, John McCain, the bane of the party&#8217;s current existence.  I cannot fathom here how people who claim to be republican would vote for this man.  He does not stand for the old party line, the Goldwater days.  He has effectively either duped or brainwashed the masses, or is using the &#8220;I&#8217;m your only choice&#8221; tactic in which he is seen as the lesser evil.  <strong>He is not the only choice.</strong> People say that Paul is mathematically eliminated &#8211; <strong>so was Abraham Lincoln &#8211; and he won because of a brokered convention.</strong> It is not yet too late for McCain to fall short, he needs 30 more pledged delegates at last count, and unpledged are free to vote whom they wish.  <strong>Additionally pledged voters can sit out.</strong> Which means, if he falls short, there will be another vote.  This releases many pledged voters.</p>
<p>But, the tactics of the Neo-Con GOP have become nasty.  From barring <em><strong>suspected</strong></em> supporters of Paul, to FORCIBLY REMOVING supporters, it has become a travesty on an un-American scale not seen since McCarthyism.  To think, that they would kick their own fellow members out of the party because they support the other candidate is an <strong>abomination.</strong> It is a clear sign that those in power of this party are now becoming ever more lustful for power, not for helping the people or doing their job in representing the people.  Instead they just want the power, the money, and the trappings that come with such things.</p>
<p>A change must come to the United States, and it must come THIS election cycle.  Not the next one, and not the one after that.  Either we must wrestle back control of this party from whatever cancer this NeoCon movement is &#8211; seeing as it supports bigger government and social restriction &#8211; and return it back to the values of limited government involvement to all social, governmental and economic issues, <strong>OR we must leave this party.</strong></p>
<p>Should enough of the republican voters leave the party for a possible new one, even if temporary, and threaten the election of their beloved front-runner McCain, it would be leverage.  Leverage means a voice.  A voice means our positions will be heard, and that leaves us with an opportunity to change the status-quo.  With leverage we can stop the disaster that looms ahead for us as a nation, and we can influence the party by showing them that we are not an insignificant number of disenfranchised voters, but a large block of their <strong>REAL conservative core </strong>- Not their neo-con core of so-called conservatives who will sacrifice lady liberty herself just for so called &#8220;safety&#8221;.</p>
<p>We must rise.</p>
<p>We must fight.</p>
<p>We must bring forth the Revolution.</p>
<p>Paul has given us the hope of a better United States and a better America, but it is up to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>US</strong></span> to make it happen.  Thus we must do what we must do &#8211; and bring about our crusade for a smaller government, and a Jihad against the taxes that threaten to swallow us up, and a holy war against the government&#8217;s exploding deficit and spending.</p>
<p><strong>It is up to us, all of us, to make this Revolution real, and to show everyone that we shall not be bound to taxes, dependent on the government, and voiceless in our opinion in the face of madness. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my 100th post here on Jackuul.com.  So let&#8217;s talk about idiots!</p>
<p>Ever wonder why Americans are getting stupid?  Ever think to yourself exactly why the masses seem to be getting dumbed down?  Dumber people buy more useless things!  Dumber people watch more ad-ridden shows.  Dumber people&#8230; have lower standards.  Why is this?</p>
<p>It has become economically viable to sell to dumber people.  Americans, and all humans, start with the capacity for greatness, but our corporate masters who use the illegal and wrong methods of creating their businesses that hurt Free Trade and the entire capitalist system are pulling us down.</p>
<p>I support free market, and I support survival of the fittest, however one must notice when a business uses unfair tactics to create a megalithic corporation that has no competition.  When this happens, it becomes a battle for the most people, and to do that they must dumb people down.  If you eliminate the refined tastes of the consumer, they will be satisfied with the mediocre.  Half of this is actually to blame on all of us who consume the products that support these corporations.</p>
<p>However, the other half is the corporation that hides the truths behind their products.  Many use cheap overseas labor and try to say it is too expensive here.  They will say that even if we have the laws in place that make it easier here than there.  Once the Revolution has come to fruition and we have a limited federal government, and hopefully our president is Ron Paul in 2008, we can start combating these corporate snake oil salesmen.</p>
<p>They should be forced to honestly label products, citizens should be able to sue any corporation that uses dishonest tactics, there should be no limits on damages, and finally every individual should have the right to exact any kind of civil suit or criminal suit upon any corporation that pollutes.  Who needs the EPA when the companies that are pumping out acids into rivers get a lawsuit from every person in town?  Think of the repercussions that will happen when every individual gets the right to sue any company that ruins land, ruins business, and ruins the entire free market ideals through savage tactics to eliminate competition via sabotage and fraud?</p>
<p>Through this, the system will be a self correcting and self cleansing one.  Through this, we shall never need to worry again about not being able to do something.  We will all be able to take action, we will all be able to file suit, and in the end they will be forced to reckon with the 300 million citizens who are fed up with it.  Then, maybe the dumbing down will discontinue, and the education and the actual intellectual vibrancy hidden under the surface in ever man and woman in this country can be brought back again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contrary to popular belief the revolution for the United States of America did not stop after the revolutionary war.  The ideas and the fresh new look at the world held by the new government of our oppressed forefathers inspired many others to try.  The French tried.  Later India finally succeeded in their very own bid for freedom from tyranny &#8211; socially, economically, and politically.  Other countries have strong underground pushes toward freedom, such as China, Iran, and many African nations.</p>
<p>Today, we are faced with a government that has become to large, a tax system too complex (when you have to take a class on taxes or get damn near earning a degree to understand it &#8211; there is a problem) a tax burden that is ever growing from the systems of a depression and later wartime administration nearly 70 years ago, a country that is outsourcing more labor in record numbers, and an interventionist policy.  We have become like the old snakes we fought to kill.  We have grown too long, too big, too fat, too easy, and too dumb.</p>
<p>The revolution for the perfect government is not yet dead here in our United States though.  There is hope, there will be hope, and through hope, through effort, through fighting for a just cause we can overcome the difficulties our nation faces and bring it back to true values held by one of our best Presidents.  Thomas Jefferson saw that eventually this government he was a part of could become that of excess.  There are several famous quotes in which he advocates the keeping of the second amendment, along with that the blood of patriots and tyrants must be shed to fertilize the tree of liberty.</p>
<p>Of course, I am not for one advocating a revolution that is bloody, but rather a bloodless coup in which our parties must be made to reckon with us.  We, the United States Citizens, demand an end to politics as usual.  I for one no longer care for career politicians, and by that I mean those who make a living off of politics and feed off of the process.  I want bad politicians, ones who don&#8217;t know how to be savvy, and ones who don&#8217;t spoon-feed soothing views of the world.  I want blunt men and women who have no experience or if they do, maintain their integrity.  I want a Ron Paul for president.  Someone who actually reads, knows, and speaks the truth of our economic peril, one who understands the rights of the states should be Equal to the rights of the Federal Government.</p>
<p>That is why I will not be ending my support, and neither should you.  McCain is still short of his pledged delegate count by thirty one votes.  Pledged delegates can also sit out a vote &#8211; meaning he could be short more.  Who knows.  Anything can happen, and if it is truly time now, rather than later, that we exact a change from government as usual&#8230; this IS the time to do it.</p>
<p>Now.  Not Later.</p>
<p>Viva Le Revolution!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I believe it is the right thing to do.  By that mere statement I sum up just about every reason that would ever be needed to support something.  By saying you believe something is right, even if you might be wrong, is to trust in your own judgment of opinion and your own judgement in many cases of character, and also your own logical connections.  By saying you believe something is right, you are unequivocally throwing support behind whatever that belief is, whether or not the majority hold the same point of view.</p>
<p>I have long been taught that you stand up for what you believe is right, even when the world seems to turn against you.  I believe that doing is is the right thing to do, and by saying that I myself am affirming it.  I do not sit down and just let the steam press of life roll me over, I do not change my dreams to a cynical barren world, I do not stop believing that I can accomplish the impossible with the odds of six billion to one.  I believe I can, and until the end I will keep striving for my biggest goals without compromise.</p>
<p>I see this kind of strength in a few people I know, but I see more weakness and more spinelessness than I could have ever imagined.  When I was very young I thought that everyone would find a way and that everyone was a leader &#8211; while I was out-casted.  Later on it turns out I was the one to never follow or become integrated or assimilated into their caste systems and cliques.  In the end I am left with my dreams of a future I wish to shape intact &#8211; while they are working at jobs they hate, they are slaving over burners or filing useless papers or shuffling pencils for the ever domineering bosses.</p>
<p>I have remained rather free in my mind, able to justify what I want to and able to judge at my own pleasure.  I never subscribed to group think and I never went with the herd.  Sure, sometimes that landed me in trouble, and sometimes it lost me opportunities for work &#8211; but it never lost me my free will or my ideas.  I have maintained an almost pure ideal since I was 15, changing it as I learned more of course, but I still have the ideal of a better future.</p>
<p>I still have the ideas and the machinations fine tuned by nearly eight years of critical thinking, all of my plans and strategies modified, tweaked, and able to adjust quickly.  I am developing a whole world of my own in my mind, but I desperately want to implement it in the real world.  I am, of course, entirely unable to do so at this time.  But, I still maintain my thoughts, my freedom of thoughts, never tainted or ruined by a corporate world hellbent on making me just another cog in the machine.</p>
<p>There was a point that it almost broke me, working in an industrial factory making emulsions that were hazardous with sub-standard safety equipment.  I would come home every day smelling of the chemical concoctions, my hands cracking and bleeding, my mind foggy and out of touch.  I have no clue as to how many brain cells I may have damaged, but it had taken me well over a year to recover my senses after quitting that hellish indentured servitude that masqueraded as a job.  I am better for it now, because I know that I cannot be broken by the mundane.</p>
<p>The torture of a room with yellow light compounded by extremes in temperatures from 30 degrees to 120 have shown me how little can utterly annoy and harass me to a state of near vegetative thought and clogged mind, coupled with chemicals that require masks and gloves, but none were given, all of this has shown me how much &#8211; or little &#8211; a person can be pushed to cause a change.  Day after day, week following week, then month to month.  Paychecks being miscalculated to scalp your money, and ending up with literally jack squat for the work you did, that kind of injustice that must be sloughed through&#8230; it can break someone.  Thankfully I was able to move before it broke me and turned me into a cynical voided human husk.</p>
<p>After that, and after recovering I am now, more than ever, galvanized and hardened with my views, I will take them with me to my grave, I will die for them.  My dreams are the same, but are more complicated and detailed.  My goals are the same, but have more smaller goals to reach them.  My processes and systems in my head are more mature and take on a different kind of approach, avoiding micro and striving for the macro &#8211; leaving the micro to the individual circumstances.</p>
<p>All of this is rather abstract, I know, however I am unleashing the part of my mind that has been bottled, so either you can stop reading now, or continue on.</p>
<p>In this new kind of thinking and this new state of mind that embraces the old and modifies it for the future I have been through entire models of government in my head, and come to the conclusion that only one kind can last for any significant amount of time without major disruption.  Democracy is well and good, however it is not through democracy that there is the exact working of economic prosperity.  It is through economic and social freedom that a society can outlast and outlive others.  Through free trade and through freedom to be what one wishes to be is the future of a country that will last another hundred, two hundred, five hundred or thousand years.  It is only through these two essentials that man can be motivated to the common good and also be motivated to continue its existence.</p>
<p>With free trade comes the possibility of everyone to make money and keep money, by placing no taxes on income, but rather collecting off of trade and sales (marginally at that) you can create a hub of economic activity and barter that will outlast generations of men and women.  By allowing for the total social freedoms you encourage people to be themselves and to live life as they see fit, ridding them of fear and also gaining loyalty to the government because of these freedoms.  Civil liberties are worth more than a thousand nuclear bombs as far as a weapon goes.  Men and women will die for their right to be free, they will fight harder, longer, and better for the goal of a free society where everyone can be what they want to be.</p>
<p>Political freedom, is of course, one of the obvious social freedoms, which means you are free to believe politically in anything.  However, in practice it often leads to corruption of the ideals, it begins to create bureaucracy that starts to strangle the economy with laws.  It starts to give out illegal powers, and then begins to consolidate power by limiting the power of the people.  The only way to combat this is effectively limit the government itself.  This can be done by placing in a constitution, similar to the one in the united states, however stronger.  Disallow the piggybacking of amendments to bills that have nothing to do with the bill itself &#8211; that way a defense budget is really a defense budget and does not have other needless things added on to it.  Disallow the judicial branch of any government to make law, only to break law (I don&#8217;t mean violate the law, I mean declare a law unlawful, and break its back), and finally disallow the executive to do anything in regard to military action unless there is the case of an emergency.  Strip the power to declare war from the president and deliver it back to the parliament or congress.</p>
<p>If this form of government is adopted, along with direct democracy as a third part of the legislative branch, it could become one that is extremely effective at controlling the bulk and waste.  Clauses should be in place that limit the budget to an exact percentage point of the GDP and only what can be covered.  It should be illegal to have any form of income tax or market regulation except the case of illegal monopolies or trusts.  It should be a death penalty type punishment for anyone attempting to take the currency off the gold standard and place it in a faith of the people setting.  Money should always have a backing to it to keep inflation low and the power of the currency high.  I don&#8217;t care if it is gold, silver, platinum, or iron.  As long as it is backed and cannot be changed easily, it is better.</p>
<p>I know that many people will find this hard to accept, but as I began this post, I will end this post with the statement that I believe I am right, and I believe changing the government to be like this <strong>is the right thing to do.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I can only express my shock and utter disgust as a person I knew merely as an acquaintance stated that supporting Ron Paul was unpatriotic.  I could not hide my utter shock, revulsion, or my contempt after that statement.  It turned into a heated argument with it ending on his leaving after threatening physical violence against me (i.e. he was going to &#8211; and I quote &#8220;beat my ass&#8221; because I dared to support Ron Paul over John McCain).  How wonderful.  Not only does McCain have idiots, he has stupid idiots too &#8211; thanks McCain, you inspire the WWE.  Really.</p>
<p>Anyways his statement that a vote for Paul was a vote for the Democrats, and is unpatriotic is the kind of jingoism bull crap propaganda that is being levied at the street level.  By supporting the war, and the failing economy, I guess that is patriotic?  I dare say it is not.  In fact, I believe that dissent and opposition is much more &#8216;patriotic&#8217; than a blind obedience to what the policy masters want.  I believe the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to say whatever one wishes to and support whoever one wishes to trumps any kind of &#8216;unpatrotic&#8217; claim.  By calling someone unpatriotic for their dissent you are no better than a Sean Hannity, a Bill O&#8217;Reilly, a gasbag who supports the party line.</p>
<p>Furthermore, to threaten physical violence upon a voter for his support of another candidate &#8211; even if that person isn&#8217;t hired by the campaign to do so &#8211; only shows the culture that the campaign is breeding.  It is appealing to the older generation with scare tactics, it is appealing to the young stupid male class of individual, and it is also having the message of &#8220;Choose me, I am the lesser evil&#8221;. Why can&#8217;t we choose the greater good?</p>
<p>Ron Paul&#8217;s positions on everything from Abortion to Zebra Conservation (I actually don&#8217;t know where he stands on this &#8211; but I am pretty sure it would be the same as all other conservation and environment positions) is logical and follows the constitutional restrictions that were put in place over two hundred years ago.  Right now our precious document is a step away from being burned by a government we elected (or did we&#8230;?) that wishes nothing more than to obtain more authority and more power.  The check and balance is dead.  The equality of Federal and State government is gone.  Governors have less power than ever before, congress has stripped individual liberties further, and our economy lead by the Fed (evil) is tanking.<img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/constipated.gif" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/fingersmell.gif" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/diarrhea.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>You think a little tax rebate is going to help the people?  Let me make this clear as is humanly possible: No.</p>
<p>The reason the rebate will not help a single soul is that many of the lower and middle classes in this country <strong>already owe the IRS, and because of this the money will be going <em>right back to them! </em></strong>It is entirely impossible that a small cash infusion will even make a blip in the economy.  All it will do is create a bigger debt on ourselves.</p>
<p>If you want to save the country&#8217;s economy and its middle class, and its lower classes, and all the classes, in fact <strong>all the people </strong>you must <strong>END the INCOME TAX in this country!</strong> It is only then that you can actually make an economic impact of a greater amount and good.  I have looked into it &#8211; I have done the calculations.  By cutting spending in many unneeded and illegal areas that should be the individual state&#8217;s area of control we could save enough to be running on a <strong>personal income tax-less government and still maintain a <em>300-500 billion a year surplus.</em></strong> It only requires that we turn over many of the functions and systems that are inherently state level anyways, back to the states. Also &#8211; Social Security would not be cut under what I calculated.  If it was, it would be over a trillion a year.  Additionally there would be funds for the military that would cover costs still.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is ridiculous, it is preposterous, and it is wrong to say that Paul is unpatriotic or to support him is.  That, my friends,<strong> is bullshit.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regardless of how shitty 2.5 is, I will continue to write.  I shall not be silenced, either by horrible upgrades making the admin UI a horrible clusterf*ck, or by people telling me to mind my own business.<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://whoisronpaul.name/who-is-ron-paul-president-2008.jpg" alt="Ron Paul" width="188" height="234" /></p>
<p>I have watched for a while now, as Paul refuses to give up, and he inspires me to never give up my ambitions or my beliefs, nor bend under any circumstance.  Paul is, and will be forever in my mind, the supreme champion of liberty and freedom.  It is no wonder that the MSM and G.O.P. fear him, and attempt to sabotage his message.  If the average American actually cared enough to go to his <a title="Ron Paul for President" href="http://ronpaul2008.com" target="_blank">site</a>, they might actually learn what he is about.</p>
<p>Paul is in no way a pacifist, nor is he a lunatic, nor is he a warmonger.  In fact, he is far from any one of those things, and he believes in the sacred right of freedom.  It is through him that a large population of this United States is voicing their tired and worn out feelings toward politics as usual.  It is through him and the support he gets from us, that we show how much we actually do care about what is going on and what is going down.  We care about our rights.  We care about our Constitution.  We care about our future.  We care about our children, our children&#8217;s children, and their children too &#8211; but many of you don&#8217;t seem to, do you?</p>
<p>Think about our perpetual wartime economy, the one that has been going since the 1950s, even after President Eisenhower <strong>warned us</strong> about it, and warned us of the dangers of a Military Industrial Complex.  It does exist, and anyone denying it is stupid.  How can I prove it?  Easily.  Contractors.  Lockheed-Martin, Douglas, look at them.  They are designing war machines for our army, and wasting billions on projects that never come to fruition, while at the same time delivering us hardware that is extreme in expense and not battle hard enough or rugged enough to withstand the usage of war.</p>
<p>Research and Development should not be a pork fest that results in the wasting of billions on projects that will do nothing.  The government should have the right (specifically the congress) to rip away a contract if they deliver a sub-standard project.  Ron Paul would be able to fix this by his policies, and indirectly would lead to the greater dismantling of the war economy &#8211; the same kind of economy the Roman Empire relied on, and died on in the end.  Rampant inflation, loss of jobs, skyrocketing costs through the devaluing of our dollar, all of it is leading in a domino effect to disaster.</p>
<p>All of these unrelated events that seem to be going on are actually very related, and can be seen as Chaos Theory in action.  A break in the chain, however small it is, can alter the outcome of this current pathway to doomsday.  Just a small little puff of air, a small wind of change, and we could change the entire course of our current path.  &#8220;Stay the Course&#8221; is a suicide pact to keep building a New Retarded World Order.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to say that I will <strong>NEVER </strong>vote for McShame, nor would I vote for Hillraiser or Obama.  I will vote for whom <strong>I believe in</strong> and I shall not compromise for the good of the &#8220;party&#8221;.  I am through compromising my beliefs and my standards and my conscience by voting for <em>the lesser evil</em>.  Voting for the lesser evil is actually the <strong>greater evil</strong> because it is through that kind of thinking that bad politicians are enabled.</p>
<p>Stop enabling them.  Vote for Paul.  Vote for something real &#8211; not another lie.</p>
