			<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>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>It seems that in a recent news post someone said only the &#8216;tech savvy&#8217; were into Ron Paul, while the average American was not or did not even know accurately his stand on positions.   What does this mean?  I take it as meaning &#8220;Smart people go for Paul&#8221;.  Seeing how most tech savvy are in college, under the age of 30, and have donated well over 21 million to Paul, set up blimps for Paul, and basically lead the crusade for Paul&#8230; it is odd to think that the blackout could have such an effect or affect (or defect) upon Main Stream America&#8230;  We raised millions.  We broke records.  We have tried to get the message out.  We have explained and explained and explained.  I even did a total calculation of the 2008 Budget in a way that states would be responsible for their own business, 1.7 trillion could be cut, the Personal Income Tax eliminated, while at the same time Social Security would remain secure, and there would be a 300-400 Billion dollar surplus.  And that&#8217;s without figuring in how much extra spending by citizens of this wonderful land would boost taxes from other sources.</p>
<p>Yet&#8230; they just&#8230; don&#8217;t listen.  It&#8217;s like Bush/Clinton/Obama Mind Control.  Except without the smell of burning oil, cigars, or marshmallows.    So, what&#8217;s to blame for this entirely lackluster response from average citizens who ignore the CIA reports about what causes terror?  What&#8217;s to blame for the mass herd mentality of the public?  Could it really be the Main Stream Media?  Considering after I stopped watching them I began to think less and less of every politician&#8230; I think there could be a connection.  Like an abused puppy, they keep coming back for more, more spoon-fed bullshit from the loving eye of education.</p>
<p>Anyone ever think of&#8230; turning that glowing tube of misinformation off and&#8230; thinking?  Like, read the Internet, read the reports, and stop believing everything &#8220;pundits&#8221; say.  I am sick of this &#8220;pundit&#8221; driven news era where they give giant wind-bags a whole hour to bullshit and indoctrinate the public with their ideas on what should be right or wrong.  Boycott France?  Boycott your goddamn mouth.   Universally they all suck, and they all cut off answers claiming &#8220;Its spin&#8221; or something, and then want &#8220;yes or no&#8221; to things like &#8220;Is the war on drugs effective?  Then when the guest says &#8220;No&#8221; they&#8217;re labeled a nut and called a kook.  The real kook is the one spreading the lies as truth, and making the truth seem improbable.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m no religious nutter, and I have no personal god, but isn&#8217;t this the kind of shit warned about somewhere? Something like &#8220;The biggest victory for the devil was convincing everyone he didn&#8217;t exist&#8221;?  Who&#8217;s to say why the truth no longer exists as believable.  If we pulled out of Iraq, and the world, all our men, bases, ships, planes, and what have you &#8211; where would the reason for attacking us come from?  There&#8217;d be no incentive to attack us.  There&#8217;d be no propaganda about us in a few years.  Anyone trying to lead a cause against us would find little support.  They don&#8217;t hate our freedoms &#8211; they hate our bases in Saudi Arabia.  If Congress wants to declare war, then fine &#8211; declare it and let us wipe them out like Mr. Clean wipes out dirt.  Otherwise, let&#8217;s get the f**k out, consolidate our forces, fix our own god damn country, and give everyone else total unrestricted access to our markets.</p>
<p>By removing all market restrictions, we remove further incentives for &#8220;Hate America!&#8221;.  If we fix our country and it becomes prosperous like it should be, where our people are competitive, and our power economically is secure it will give others a reason to go &#8220;Hey, why can&#8217;t we do that here?&#8221; If we allow for the constitution to be our guiding document again, and get rid of all these bullcrap laws for and against religion, people will see us as a place where anyone can be anything, without some bible humper trying to force them one way, and some bible burner trying to force another.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a tragedy that the people of this country are divided and divided and divided some more.  You see, that is how people are conquered.  You divide them, and you conquer them.  You keep the division strong, and like a magician, you keep them redirected so they don&#8217;t pay attention to the other issues around them.  You fool them into thinking things that are bad are good, and things that are good are really bad.  You make them accept the lie, and reject the truth.</p>
<p>Ron Paul represents not just the core conservative values, no, it&#8217;s not like that.  If you remember anything from history, Republicans used to be considered the progressive party, the can-do party, the one willing to take a risk and willing to forge ahead and be something different than a socialist liberal party or a staunch religious conservative fascist party.  Under Teddy Roosevelt Republicans established the first National Parks, enacted child labor laws,  and went trust-busting so that the economy was fair and free trade remained that.</p>
<p>Today we have seriously strayed the path of the Party&#8217;s great leaders.  Two of the heads on our Mount Rushmore monument are Republicans.  They did what they could to unite the country, to compromise, and to better it.   I highly doubt if Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt were alive today that they would go near the Republican Party, or the Democratic Party.  They&#8217;d be shocked by what politics has become in a way.  I know it never changes, but I believe people stood for more back then than they do now.  Today its a parade of sock puppets.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s so wrong with the idea of dropping the personal Income Tax?  Some say it is needed, yet I have prooven that states can do the job of the federal government.  Local people running Local Governments know more about Local Problems than Federal government.  They&#8217;re also under more public and local scrutiny.  If we were to give the states back the programs for each one to run in their own way we could eliminate more than a trillion and a half dollars of federal government spending &#8211; the states could do their own thing, and that is fine.  The less massive overhead, the more money the economy will have in play, and the better off we will be.</p>
<p>If California wants to allow gay marriage, and Utah doesn&#8217;t, then so be it.  It should be states above nation when it comes to social issues.  If a state doesn&#8217;t want to have any income tax in it, great, it can run off of sales tax and the people in it will pay no income taxes of any kind.   I don&#8217;t see why people would not unite under this, since all services will still be there depending on the states, and no ones benifits for Social Security are at risk.  Medicare, and Medicaid could easily be run via the states own organizations.</p>
<p>In the end, it boils down to that regardless of what the Main Stream Media says, Main Stream America needs to figure it out.  Something needs to be done to present to them all the information, all the facts, all the relevant issues presented.  Not sound bites and simplistic answers.  If America cannot handle the truth, and the truth in detail &#8211; can America really even attempt to survive?  The first step of taking this country back from the corporate masters is information, education, and de-indoctrination.</p>
<p>I guess, since the MSM doesn&#8217;t want that &#8211; since they&#8217;d get low ratings &#8211; it&#8217;ll be like a door to door thing.  Perhaps going door to door in suits, and then saying &#8220;I&#8217;m not from a church, I&#8217;m here on behalf of the Country&#8221; and then educating, informing, and discussing would be the only way.</p>
<p>Maybe that should be the next step in the Ron Paul Revolution.  Door to door.  Educate, inform, and explain.  Show them, give examples, show the figures, explain how states could handle things better.  Local to Local always beats National to Local.  Because Local People know Local Problem and will have Local Solutions.</p>
