The Loneliest Ron Paul Supporter

clipped from www.lewrockwell.com There are often times I feel like the loneliest Ron Paul supporter on earth. We're already a forsaken lot, castigated as we are, called kooks, conspiracy mongers, racists, bigots, and (worst of all), delusional dreamers living in a fantasy world. Plus, we're mean-spirited and greedy! Yet, here I am, an Orthodox Jew, living in Israel, in the dread "occupied territories" no less, and I feel even lonelier than most. Just what am I doing casting my lot with this motley group?! I started reading LRC and WND many months before. Both web sites called him on his bipartisan liberalism. Bush himself did indeed promote a very liberal agenda. At the time, I thought he was just making empty promises to appear "moderate." In fact, Bush probably has the greatest record of keeping his promises of any president in American history. There are only two promises I can actually think of that he broke: campaign finance reform, which he promised to veto; and a "humble foreign policy,"

THE ARCHITECTS OF WAR: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

clipped from thinkprogress.org President Bush has not fired any of the architects of the Iraq war. In fact, a review of the key planners of the conflict reveals that they have been rewarded — not blamed — for their incompetence.

Is Huckabee following Hitler or God?

“Since you sit there in the judgment seat observing all these shenanigans, you can afford to humor an occasional fool who happens along. You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down — even slap your face!” Don't be led around by "servants of righteousness" disguised as “angels of light” who intentionally deceive you for their own gain. ~ Apostle Paul 2 Cor 11:15-21

clipped from thinkprogress.org At a campaign stop yesterday, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee recommended — to a cheering audience — that the Constitution be “changed” to fit “God’s standards”: I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that’s what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family. Rawstory notes that in response, MSNBC’s “Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it ‘interesting.’” Digg It!  January 15, 2008 1:34 pm | Comment (288) The American Taliban!!!

RON PAUL'S ISRAEL PROBLEM

clipped from www.newswithviews.com By Pastor Chuck Baldwin January 15, 2008 NewsWithViews.com If evangelical Christians are hesitant to support Ron Paul's candidacy for the Republican nomination for President, two reasons are usually proffered: he does not support Israel, and he wants to bring the troops home from Iraq. Unfortunately, many (if not most) of today's evangelical Christians have bought into the whole neocon warmongering mentality. Somewhere along the way, evangelicals have forgotten the historic Christian understanding of "just war," not to mention our Savior's promise of divine blessing upon peacemakers. They have allowed President George W. Bush and his fellow warmongers to hijack the legitimate use of defensive war and turn it into a commitment to aggressive and preemptive war. If the United States continues on its current path of aggressive, preemptive war, incessant nation-building, empire-building, and globalism, our country will collapse. If history teaches us anything,

clipped from blog.myspace.com gam·bit   /--gæmb?t/ [gam-bit] –noun 1. Chess. an opening in which a player seeks to obtain some advantage by sacrificing a pawn or piece.  2. any maneuver by which one seeks to gain an advantage.  3. a remark made to open or redirect a conversation.  Anyone who's studied, chess, warfare, politics, or law is familiar with the gambit.  A person opens themselves up to a material loss, in exchange for long term positional advantage. Either the government wins its case against NotHaus, and he goes to jail, or the government loses, and Nothaus (and anyone else, for that matter) can create commodity backed currencies. And here's where it gets interesting. Let's assume that the Government loses.  This will be good news for those who want a return to the Gold Standard. Let's assume that the Government wins.  Then we're no better/worse off and everything is back to normal, right?  Wrong. Consider these facts:

Can The Government Punish Legal Behavior?

"Once the government breaks the rules and conducts a mixed war on one or more citizens without probable cause, it loses its right to expect the citizens to continue to obey the government's wishes. The citizen(s) are entitled, in fact have a duty, to do whatever is necessary to control the government and force the government to obey the law. The U.S. Declaration of Independence elaborates quite thoroughly about that."

Remember, “Morality is a political question enforced at the ballot box, not a legal question subject to police power.”

“If we accept the idea that "The end justifies the means," then we will cease to be a nation of laws and become a nation of opportunistic power. If we allow the government to ignore the requirement that it have probable cause, then anyone can be convicted of anything. Just find something he did that's embarrassing though legal, attack him with such overwhelming power that he cannot make well thought choices of action”

clipped from www.1215.org CAN THE GOVERNMENT INTERFERE WITH OR PUNISH LEGAL BEHAVIOR? If a citizen is doing nothing illegal, however good or bad it may be, can the government properly declare a $40,000,000 mixed war [1] on him? Or is the government now authorized to not only enforce the law, but also to enforce the bureaucrat-in-charge's concept of morality? Can the government go beyond enforcing the law, and also apply police power to morality? A CITIZEN IS ENTITLED TO TAKE ANY REASONABLE ACTION TO PROTECT HIS RIGHTS FROM BEING TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT It is a well established point of the law of jurisdiction that if one is doing nothing illegal, regardless of what the activity is, the government may not interfere. If a policeman should decide to *illegally* arrest a citizen, the citizen is entitled to use whatever reasonable force necessary to preserve his liberty, even if the force is lethal. Recently that point was reaffirmed at Ruby Ridge, where Mr Weaver killed a U.S. Marshal who was trying to arrest him.
