V: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
Welcome Back The Spotlight 'O Terror
Green - Low: This setting is here just as a reference point. DHS will never use it because it would mean we didn’t need them anymore.
Blue - Guarded: This rarely used setting on the Stoplight ‘O Terror could indicate things like an undocumented worker within 3 square miles of the president.
Yellow - Elevated: This is the standard level of fear. Don’t expect to see anything lower than this as long as the Regressives are in office. Be scared, but not too scared to vote Republican.
Orange - High: Chertoff heard that someone in the CIA’s brother’s boss’ nephew’s sister-in-law heard about a plan to blow up Amish Country Popcorn Factory in Berne Indiana. It’s ok to pee your pants at this level.
Red - Severe: A terror attack was recently narrowly averted. We can’t release any details but just be thankful we saved your asses. Used frequently before midterm elections. See October Surprise. (Oh My God, Take Away My Freedoms and Protect Me From Them There Terrorists, Like Osama Hussein!!!)
Welcome to my Blog, enjoy your stay!
Congressman Ron Paul, MD - We've Been NeoConned

1984 radio broadcast:

| | |||||||
| - Phillipians 4:13 - "If you expect a nation to be ignorant and free, you expect what never was and can never be." - Thomas Jefferson - "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams - "The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility." - Proverbs 15:33 - "Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties." - Abraham Lincoln - "" - - District 10 Map | Where I Stand on: Abortion: - Abortion for any reason, in essence, is the murder of innocent life. - I hold the belief that life begins from the very momment of conception, and that the abortion of that human life is nothing less than murder. - I also cannot fathom why it is any different to abort an unborn child for reasons of incest or rape, because it makes no sense to punish the child (through killing it) for the crimes of his/her father. - I am 100% against any abortion for any reason, I am 100% PRO-LIFE. Government Reform: - The founders intended for our Federal government to be one of LIMITED power, with its powers being only those which are specifically laid out in the Constitution of the United States of America. - That government which governs least governs best. - All power not given to the Federal government by the Constitution, or prohibited to the states, are rightfully the authority and power of the State governments and the people. The Federal government has crept in and taken unconstitutional power in the following ways: - US Department of Education: The power over education in the United States is solely that of the State governments and their citizenry. Bills such as the No Child Left Behind Act are unconstitutional, and along with the Department of Education are an unconstitutional encroachment on the authority given to the states. Therefore the US Department of Education should be abolished - Legalizing of Abortion through Roe vs. Wade: The Federal government, by way of the Supreme Court, usurped authority of all 50 states in deciding for them and for the people, that abortion should be legal. - Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, Amber-Alert systems (I strongly support the Amber-Alert system and believe each state should adopt such a system to join the states in the protection of our children across the country, yet this is a decision belonging to each state alone and not to be unconstitutionally enforced by the federal government), and all other issues which are not expressly mentioned in the Constitution are the sole responsiblity of the States. Any usurpation of that right, by any branch of Federal government is unconstitutional. - Unrelated riders and amendments (or attachments; porkbarrel legislation) should be prohibited; all riders and amendments must fall within the scope and object of the original bill. - I oppose ANY attempt to regionalize government. Therefore I oppose the formation of a North American Union which would integrate the economies of Canada, the United States of America and Mexico; all while dissolving US borders. Conscription (The Draft): - I oppose the draft, because it is forced servitude which is completely against the principle of liberty and freedom. - To force someone against their will to fight for liberty makes no sense. Defense:
Education: - Education is the sole responsibility and right of the States and the people of those states. - The states have the authority of Education to keep the education system in the hands of the people, instead of the Federal government. Through this, the people are more able to directly influence the way they feel their children should be educated. - Parents should be able to send their children to the school of their choice, and that parent's tax money should pay for their childs education wherever they choose for it to be, and none other. As Thomas Jefferson said, "To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." - Power over the upbring of a child (educational choice, training, and discipline of children) should be placed solely in the hands of their parents; not given to any Federal agency, board or judiciary. Energy and the Enviroment: - As Americans we are called to be repectful to and good stewards of our enviroment, since they are the gift and handywork of the Creator, yet not at the expense of huge government mandated enviromental and energy programs. - We should attempt to improve our enviroment and reduce pollution, but this should not be done at the expense of the tax-payer through costly government mandated programs. - I oppose all energy and enviromental legislation that would infringe upon the individuals basic right to own property or would require any citizen to give up wholly or in part their property even with compensation. - I agree with the founders, that the preservation of the individuals unalienale right to own property is one of the primary purposes of Government and that property cannot rightfully be taken from its owner for any reason without their complete consent. - I oppose participation in United Nations enviromental programs such as UNESCO, and Man and the Biosphere, which abridge the citizens right to private property. - The Alaskan National Wildlife Arctic Reserve (ANWAR) should be opened for the US to drill for oil, to allow us to become less dependent on foreign sources of oil. - Research into alternative methods of fuel, such as Bio-Desiel, Solar Power, Hydrogen, etc. should be encouraged to be carried out by private researchers and businesses, without Federal government intrusions. - I do not believe that Global Warming is a real threat which needs to be addressed. - I support the abolishment of the US Department of Energy. Executive Orders: - I wholeheartedly oppose the use of Executive Orders to make law or regulations. - Our founding fathers and the people of this nation, placed the sole power to make law to the Legislative Branch, in an attempt to ensure that law was not made which did not reflect the will of the people as a whole. To allow the President of the United States to write law by Executive Orders, is both unconstitutional and dangerous; it is giving the power to make law to ONE man which is characteristic of a tyranny. Family: - I believe that family is the heart of America, and should be placed on a pedestal. "It is in the love of one's family only that heartfelt happinesss is known." - It is through our families that tomorrows Congressmen and women, Senators and Presidents will arise, and they will be a direct reflection on how we raised our families, so we must take care that our families are of the most wholesome character, so that this nation can live on in true liberty. - I oppose the legalization of same-sex marriage. - I oppose the adoption of a Marriage Amendment banning Same-Sex marriages to the US Constitution because it is under the jurisdiction of the States of this nation. - The issue of marriage is one that belongs to each and every state; I support a Marriage Amendment banning Same-Sex marriages to the State Constitutions. - I support the right of parents to bring up and nurture a child in the way that they see fit, without governmental interference. Foreign Policy: - I support a Non-Interventionist foreign policy. - America is the friend of Liberty everywhere, the guarantor (protector) of ours alone. - I OPPOSE the Iraqi war and the war on terror. It was unconstitutionally declared by the President, who has no right to do so. - Only the US Congress has the right to declare war.- The President of the United States has NO right at all what so ever to declare war, and the US Congress cannot constitutionally, by the founders' philosophy of government, delgate their power to delcare war to the President as they did for the Iraqi war and the war on terror. "The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war." - The war on terror is unconstitutional, and serves to put fear in the hearts of Americans and cause us to accept unconstitutional legislation such as the USA Patriot Act of 2001, which promises so-called "security" while eroding the Bill of Rights. "The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home." - I oppose participation in ANY world government organization such as the United Nations and the World Court. - I oppose participation in ANY treaty that would make law for the United States or otherwise interpret law. - The US must remain a sovereign nation. - I oppose any treaty which would commit US Military forces or tax payer's money to any foreign organization, governement or any other body of governance. - I do not believe that US troops should serve under ANY foreign command, such as the United Nations, being that it is against their oath of service to this nation, while putting us a risk. - I disaprove of the idea that the US should police the globe. The US should keep out of the business of other countries and realize as free nations they also have the same right to make decisions of their own without our interference. Gambling: - I oppose of the lottery and other forms of gambling. Gun Control: - It is the right of every law-abiding citizne to keep, bear and even carry arms. - I strongly believe that it is unconstitutional to restrict the citizens right to: - Own any firearm without registration or a permit from any organization or government. - To use a firearm in self-defense. - To carry a firearm on their persons at any time in any location without a permit from any organization or government. "The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good." "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government... ...No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Guns serve as the citizen's method of protection from dangers, so taking away or restricting the right to keep and bear arms in essence is taking away the citizen's right to defend themselves. - When guns are outlawed, the outlaws will still be able to get them; leaving the average citizen defenseless. Health Care: - COMING SOON Immigration: - I oppose ANY attempt to regionalize government. Therefore I oppose the formation of a North American Union which would integrate the economies of Canada, the United States of America and Mexico; all while dissolving US borders. - I oppose giving Amnesty to illegal aliens. If individuals want to to come to America they must come the same way everyone else is supposed to come, LEGALLY! - I am strongly PRO-SECURE BORDERS. I support the building of a border fence across the entire southern border of the United States. - I believe the US should enfore border and immigration laws more strictly to keep illegals out of this country, and prosecute any individual, business or organization which employs or assists illegal aliens in the United States of America. - I ardently support English as being the official language for all business in the United States, and oppose bi-lingual ballots. - I oppose the giving of welfare and other tax-payer benefits to illegal aliens. - I oppose the granting of US citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants while in the United States. Personal and Private Property Security: - Being that the preservation of property, according to John Locke and the founding fathers, is one of the premiere purposes of government, private property rights are a very important issue. - I believe that the preservation of the right to own property should NOT be abridged. - Property tax is an unconstitutional measure which deprives men from truly owning their property, because as John Locke said, "For I have truly no Property in that, which another can by right take from me [or tax], when he pleases, against my consent." - The 4th Amendment to the Constitution garuntees every individual's right to be "...secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.." without a warrant AND probable cause/evidence to support the warrant. Therefore I oppose the USA Patriot Act of 2001 which gives the US government the ability to search your personal property without a warrant. - Private property should never be allowed to be taken from individuals without their direct, and complete consent for ANY cause, even with compensation. To take an individual's property for any reason without their full express consent, even for wildlife or other purposes, is unconstitutional and theft on part of the government. - I oppose the Real ID Act which unconstitutionally requires the states to comply with federal regulations for a national ID card by December of 2009, which contains personal and private information on machine-readable technology. - Machine Readable technology includes those such as 2D, Optical Stripe, or RFID technology. - When placed in effect, anyone without this ID, would be banned from entering any federal building and if a license is used as the ID, the individual will not be licensed to drive without it. - While the federal govenrment argues that the Real ID Act makes private information safer, the opposite is true, it actually makes identity theft easier. - The Real ID Act, if allowed to continue, would also be required no matter your religious beliefs, violating the individuals 1st Amendment Rights. - Federal government says that the Real ID Act would not implement a National ID Card, yet it does just that by requiring that all states share and link their information under the Real ID Act across the entire nation. - The Read ID Act violates the 10th Amendment, because the Constitution of the United States does not grant the federal government the power to regulate an identification system, therefore this power belongs to the states and the people. - Under authority of the Real ID Act, the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" requires states to adopt international identification standards, to share information internationally as well as nationally which further violates our right to privacy. - Our information should remain private, it should not be available to the highest bidder, to other states and especiallyy to other nations. Religious Freedom:
Social Security: - COMING SOON Tariffs and Trade: - I oppose trade agreements such as NAFTA and CAFTA. - I believe that more tarrifs should be placed on goods being imported into the United States to make US busninesses more competitive within the US, and too keep US jobs from going over seas. Taxes: - I favor a tariff based tax system where only goods bought and imported items are taxed, so that taxes are only collected on items which the indivdual volutarily purchases. - I believe the income, estate, gift and social security taxes are unconstitutional and against the basic principle of liberty, and should be abolished. - I support the repeal of the 16th Amendment which supposedly gave the government the unconstitutional power to tax the income of their citizens without our consent. - I support the abolishment of the Federal Reserve System, and the IRS. Terrorism and Personal Liberty: - America is a free nation, built on the principle of liberty, and that liberty should NEVER be surrendered for anyreason, even for security because it allows government to become ever more powerful and intrude in the lives of its citizens. "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - I am 100% opposed to the USA Patriot Act of 2001, and the subsequent reauthorizations of the act, because it takes away American's 4th Amendment right to not be search without a warrant, it allows federal agencies to obtain numerous private records without your consent all while preventing the citizens from knowing it. - I am 100% opposed to the Military Commissions Act of 2006 which authorized supposed terrorist, which by the Patriot Act can be anyone who breaks any law that could harm human life (even Americans) to be tried in Military Tribunials while taking away their habeus corpus rights, and removing their 6th and 7th Amendment rights. | ||||||
