Murray Rothbard once wrote that even the most brutal dictator ultimately bases his power on the opinions that are held by a majority of the population that is under his rule. After all, even dictators with large armies tend to be vastly outnumbered by the populations they rule over, and revolution is always on the dictator’s mind. That’s probably how he gained power himself in the first place – the previous dictator was, well, too dictatorial and created the conditions for his own overthrow. Democratic regimes also base their legitimacy on their ability to claim that their rule is "the will of the people." They believe in democracy with all their will, they tell ...

The Bush Legacy, or the Modern American Standard?
Post Date: 2006-10-11 03:21:55 by hammerdown

Libertarian-leaning Reason.com recently outlined the George W. Bush legacy for future generations. Contributor Jonathan Rauch writes, originally for The Atlantic, that we have suffered over five years of amazing and unrelenting foolishness in national and international policy, and that this administration will leave four serious "headaches" for the United States of America. Two more years, possibly as dreadful as the last six, still remain. Simply put, these four headaches are moral and financial destitution, accompanied by a dearth of security and good-will for Americans wherever they may be found. In an age of Congressional and particularly Republican malfeasance and ...

I didn't agree with Bush that it was "just a 'blankety blank' piece of paper". I felt - that in its time - it was an expression of grand ideals in mankind's growing spiritual / political maturity. There were things about the Constitution that needed to mature. Some did - such as women eventually being considered persons, and ...
Bush’s Signing Statement Dictatorship

President Bush has once again decreed that his personal pen is the highest law of the land. In a statement issued on October 4, 2006, he announced that he would ignore many provisions of the Homeland Security appropriations act he signed earlier in the day. His action vivifies that the rule of law now means little more than the enforcement of the secret thoughts of the commander in chief. Bush’s postsigning statement declared that he would interpret many sections of the new law “in a manner consistent with the president’s constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch.” In plain English, this means that many of the limits that Congress imposed ...

Neocon Shock and Horror by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. by Thomas E. Woods, Jr. DIGG THIS Nearly two years after its release I continue to get emails about, and to observe praise and condemnations of, my Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. Early next year I have another book on American history (that I finished in July) coming out, and my efforts will have to be directed there. So when it was suggested that I briefly review what has transpired in the P.I.G. affair, I figured I was game for one more go. I didn’t manage to keep track of every review, news item, and interview related to the book, but there is at least a decent summary of things here. Naturally the book ...

Reject the 600 Club by Andrew S. Fischer Not to be confused with Pat Robertson's 700 Club, a religious program broadcast on CBN (about which I won't comment), the 600 Club refers to the officious thugs who comprise our federal government, and essentially run our lives. Take the 435 Congressmen, 100 Senators, 1 President, 9 Supreme Court justices, add some assorted cabinet members, advisors and other lackeys, round it off and 600 is just about right. Think about it, a mere 600 people attempting to manage a nation of 300 million! Can this possibly work? Is it even sensible? Make no mistake – this is a club. As Rothbard points out in his seminal work, For a New Liberty, the ...

Should Presidents Be Allowed To Serve More Than 2 Terms? Bills Introduced In Congress To Repeal 8-Year Restriction Of 22nd Amendment Posted: October 8, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2006 http://WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – One thing is certain about the 2008 presidential election campaign that begins in one year: It won't involve George W. Bush as a candidate. But bipartisan legislation to repeal the 22nd Amendment restriction of two terms for U.S. presidents could change that certainty for future presidents. Two of the most passionate congressional advocates of such a move – Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-MD, and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-WI – have teamed up to sponsor a ...

Freedom Flakes (the tools of tyranny)

Freedom Flakes Ever wonder what the ingredients are in Bush's "freedom" campaign? As it turns out, they're tools of tyranny. But Bush isn't the first national leader to claim he's fighting for freedom while stripping the people of exactly that -- every tyrant in history (Hitler, Stalin, etc.) used the same fear tactics to convince people to give up their rights and freedoms in exchange for the illusion of security. The only reason Bush has been so successful in his campaign of tyranny is because the American public has no sense of history. Any nation that forgets the lessons of history is doomed the repeat it, and we're seeing that played out in a dramatic way right now as the ...
JAMES DOBSON: Friends of the Family Brochure - Voting Is A "Ministry" Now

Friends of the Family How your gifts are making a difference Educating Christians About The Ministry of Voting As Americans we are blessed to have a "government of the people, by the people and for the people." But democracy needs one key component to work: our participation. In the last mid-term election, six out of every 10 Americans did note vote[1], and that figure is only slightly better for evangelical Christians. In 2002, the last non-presidential election year, only 43 percent of evangelical Christians actually bothered to go to the polls[2]. When people of faith fail to vote, is it any wonder that policies contrary to our beliefs and convictions become law? A moral ...
GOP Rep. Tom Reynolds: "he'll do anything for money." Including covering up criminal activity by his colleagues. (WMR)

October 6/7/8, 2006 -- WMR's Capitol Hill sources report that chairman of the National Republican Congressional Campaign Tom Reynolds was involved in the cover up of the Mark Foley Pagegate scandal since at least October 4, 2005. That was the day Reynolds hired Foley's chief of staff Kirk Fordham as his own chief of staff. Our Hill sources report that Fordham was hired by Reynolds to provide Fordham "safe harbor" from the scandal that was enveloping Foley's office. Although congressional chiefs of staff make salaries as high as $120,000 a year, Reynolds paid Fordham a mere $78,000 as part of the deal for Reynolds to provide Foley's chief aide a job on the Hill. -- a deal that ...

Click the link above to watch your Fascist Overlord give Hugo Chavez a death sentence. On the other hand, given the Bushes (and all G(r)OPer's) perverted proclivities, "Poppy" might have been just expressing homosexual lust for President Chavez calling him "an ass." Whatever the case, I hope Chavez has an answer for the Bush family and lives a long and un-ass-raped life.
New lawsuits challenge Congress's detainee act

Lawyers rushed to file suit before the measure, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, was signed into law. "By filing when we did, we wanted to make sure that at least we preserved the retroactivity argument," says Michael Ratner of the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, which filed both suits. The new legislation, passed a week ago Friday, bars judges from hearing detainee lawsuits. Instead, it sets up a much more limited appeals process for detainees who are seeking to challenge their designation as an enemy combatant or to challenge a war crimes conviction by a military commission. One suit was filed on behalf of Majid Khan, one of the 14 so-called high value ...

As people learn more about the National Animal Identification System, or NAIS, some have asked, ""what's so bad about it?" The arguments against NAIS range from philosophical objections about property and privacy rights, to pragmatic concerns about cost and technological problems. Rather than talk about these concerns in the abstract, let's look at what would happen if NAIS is implemented, some of the day-to-day results. The Warning "Knock, Knock." You open the door. Two men are standing there. They hand you an envelope and say, "This is a warning. If you do not comply with the NAIS, you may face fines of up to $1000 per day and criminal misdemeanor ...
Bush Asserts Right To Edit Homeland Security Privacy Reports; Attaches "signing statement" to spending bill...

Thursday, October 5, 2006 - Updated: 02:49 PM EST WASHINGTON - President Bush, again defying Congress, says he has the power to edit the Homeland Security Department’s reports about whether it obeys privacy rules while handling background checks, ID cards and watchlists. In the law Bush signed Wednesday, Congress stated no one but the privacy officer could alter, delay or prohibit the mandatory annual report on Homeland Security department activities that affect privacy, including complaints. But Bush, in a signing statement attached to the agency’s 2007 spending bill, said he will interpret that section “in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional ...

Bush Signing Statements Called Effort To Expand Power; Report Sees Broad Strategy

October 5, 2006 WASHINGTON -- President Bush's frequent use of signing statements to assert that he has the power to disobey newly enacted laws is ``an integral part" of his ``comprehensive strategy to strengthen and expand executive power" at the expense of the legislative branch, according to a report by the non partisan Congressional Research Service. In a 27-page report written for lawmakers, the research service said the Bush administration is using signing statements as a means to slowly condition Congress into accepting the White House's broad conception of presidential power, which includes a presidential right to ignore laws he believes are unconstitutional.

The Death Of Sandy Hume Worldnetdaily Joseph Farah March 9, 1998 Two weeks ago, another prominent suicide was reported inside the beltway. That was the death of 28-year-old Sandy Hume, a reporter for The Hill and the son of Fox News' Britt Hume. It was the young Hume who broke the story last summer about the plot within the House Republican caucus, led by Rep. Bill Paxon, to dump Newt Gingrich as speaker. Without reporting any names over the weekend (as if that somehow offered anonymity for any of the prominent public figures involved in this story), the Jerusalem Post explained that the reason for the suicide was a homosexual affair between Hume and Paxon, who also recently announced he ...

Conservatives Call on Hastert to Resign Human Events by Robert B. Bluey Posted Oct 02, 2006 House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R.-Ill.) is coming under fire from conservatives for his failing to take action against disgraced Rep. Mark Foley (R.-Fla.), who resigned last week for inappropriate communications with teenage pages. “Speaker Hastert had knowledge of Congressman Foley’s inappropriate behavior and chose to protect a potential pedophile and powerful colleague over a congressional page,” said David Bossie, president of conservative advocacy group Citizens United. Joining Bossie’s call for Hastert to resign was nationally syndicated radio show host Michael Reagan. ...
