Detroit Councilwoman’s Actual Rant: We Voted for You, Obama, Now Give Us Some of That Gov’t ‘Bacon’ Posted on December 5, 2012 at 9:30am by Becket Adams Speaking before the Detroit City Council on Tuesday, Councilwoman JoAnn Watson said President Barack Obama owes the ailing city a government bailout because its residents supported him in the 2012 presidential election. “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president and there ought to be a quid pro quo and you ought to exercise leadership on that,” said Watson, according to FOX 2 Detroit. “Of course, not just that, but why not?” “After the election of Jimmy ...
Conservative Ire at Boehner Hits Boiling Point

Politico is reporting today that conservative discontent that has been brewing just under the surface toward Speaker John Boehner and the House Republican leadership has now hit the boiling point. At least three powerful conservative groups have now publicly expressed their opposition to Boehner. The last straw, according to the conservative groups, was the retaliatory removal of four key conservative congressmen from plum committee assignments. Their removal was said to be punishment for bucking the GOP leadership establishment "too often." The congressmen in question, U.S. Reps. Justin Amash, R-Mich., Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., David Schweikert, R-Ariz., and Walter Jones, R-N.C. ...

Batman’ shooter a Manchurian Candidate? Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com November 28, 2012 An alleged inmate of ‘Batman’ massacre culprit James Holmes claims the shooter told him that he was “programmed” to carry out the massacre by an “evil” therapist. The shocking story has gone virtually unnoticed after appearing in a blog post on the Denver Westword website last week. After failing to interest the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office in his account of what happened, 38-year-old Steven Unruh has now gone public. Unruh was booked into the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility just hours before the ‘Batman’ ...

The president's flattering view of himself reflects the political sentiments in his party and the citizenry generally ing the second US presidential debate. Photograph: Mike Segar/Reuters For the last four years, Barack Obama has not only asserted, but aggressively exercised, the power to target for execution anyone he wants, including US citizens, anywhere in the world. He has vigorously resisted not only legal limits on this assassination power, but even efforts to bring some minimal transparency to the execution orders he issues. This claimed power has resulted in four straight years of air bombings in multiple Muslim countries in which no war has been declared – using drones, ...

Ron Paul's 32 Questions www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul830.html This is extracted from his Farewell to Congress address. Excessive government has created such a mess it prompts many questions: Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison? Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk? Why can’t Americans manufacturer rope and other products from hemp? Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution? Why is Germany concerned enough to consider repatriating their gold held by the FED for her in New York? Is it that the trust in the U.S. and dollar supremacy beginning to wane? Why do our ...

In his weekly update, released on Monday, Congressman Ron Paul defends those who have signed petitions in all 50 states advocating secession from the federal government, referring to the principle as "deeply American". Echoing comments he made back in 2009, Paul notes "This country was born through secession. Some thought it was treasonous to secede from England, but those "traitors" became our country's greatest patriots." "… the principles of self-government and voluntary association are at the core of our founding ...There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it ...

Ron Paul, in his historic farewell speech to Congress this week, asked 32 thought-provoking questions addressed to his fellow Americans. It's very clear upon examination of these questions that something is very wrong with our government. Below are his questions: Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison? Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk? Why can’t Americans manufacturer rope and other products from hemp? Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution?

Farewell to Congress by Ron Paul This may well be the last time I speak on the House Floor. At the end of the year I’ll leave Congress after 23 years in office over a 36-year period. My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today: promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to the principles of individual liberty. It was my opinion, that the course the U.S. embarked on in the latter part of the 20th Century would bring us a major financial crisis and engulf us in a foreign policy that would overextend us and undermine our national security. To achieve the goals I sought, government would have had to shrink in size and scope, reduce spending, change the monetary system, ...

The GOP reboot starts with recognizing libertarians' success. Ron Paul at the "We Are the Future" rally in Tampa / Gage Skidmore / Flickr It was a disappointing election for Republicans—but not all Republicans. Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, an emerging “Dr. No” in the House, was re-elected by a comfortable margin. In a neighboring congressional district, Kerry Bentivolio won a full term, succeeding Thad McCotter. Rand Paul ally Thomas Massie was elected to replace retired Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis. Groups like the Republican Liberty Caucus were pleased by the election of Ted Yoho in Florida. Yoho defeated longtime incumbent Rep. Cliff Stearns in the GOP ...

The Ron Paul Effect: How the GOP Threw the Election By Disenfranchising Ron Paul Supporters

The Ron Paul Effect: How the GOP Threw the Election By Disenfranchising Ron Paul Supporters Hamdan Azhar By disenfranchising Ron Paul supporters, Mitt Romney won the primary but lost the election. New analysis reveals that in no less than five states, Romney’s margin of loss to President Obama in the general election was less than the number of votes received by Ron Paul in that state’s primary. In Florida, for example, Obama defeated Romney by 46,000 votes; meanwhile, Ron Paul received over 117,000 votes in the primary. If only 40% of these Ron Paul Republicans stayed home on Election Day, it would have been enough to cost Romney the state and its 29 electoral votes. A ...
Waiving Freedom

Among the objections to ObamaCare, one that has not gotten as much attention as it should is the president's power to waive the law for any company, union or other enterprise he chooses. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution provides for "equal protection of the laws" for all Americans. To have a law that can cost an organization millions of dollars a year either apply or not apply, depending on the whim or political interest of the President of the United States, is to make a mockery of the rule of law. How secure is any freedom when there is this kind of arbitrary power in the hands of one man? What does your right of freedom of speech mean if saying something that ...

How Ron Paul won the war for conservatism’s future When Ron Paul leaves office in January, he will have been more successful than many of the legislators who spent decades maligning him. Paul’s ideas have gradually gone from marginal to mainstream, and his record shows how much even a single determined man of principle can do to change a movement. In foreign policy especially, the Texas congressman leaves behind a new generation of leaders, both libertarian and conservative, who challenge the disastrous bipartisan consensus. A decade ago, only seven Republican members of Congress voted against the Iraq War—six congressmen and one senator. The number of conservative ...

On December 24, 2006, supported by U.S. tactical intelligence, military training, and "less than a dozen" special operations forces on the ground, Ethiopia had invaded Somalia with the goal of unseating the ruling Council of Islamic Courts (CIC).

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney has conceded his expensive presidential bid has ended. He told of giving his run all and nothing to chance. Romney said, "This election is over, but our principles endure." What principles????? Now Ron Paul and Gary Johnson have principles. Mitt is a first class flip/flopper, a tax cheat,great at taking jobs off shore, and has absolutely no compassion for the less fortunate.

My election prediction What’s particularly nervy — galling, really — about the idea that the US ought to be spreading our democratic system across the globe is the fact that we don’t have anything close to democracy in this country. Nor do we have what the Founders intended to create: a republic, where the power of the state is limited by the Constitution. This is underscored every time Americans go to the polls, where they are confronted with “choices” determined by lawmakers whose chief interest in life is getting reelected with as little opposition as possible. These guardians of the polity have made it virtually impossible for so-called third parties ...
How to Explain Romney’s Loss to Shocked Conservatives

If Romney loses tonight, there are going to be a lot of shocked Republicans and conservatives. If you’re a reader of the Greek New Testament (and who isn’t?) the appropriate word is “skandalon.” Such a result will be a “scandal” or a “stumbling block” to your friends who were sure that good Ohioans would vote for Mitt Romney and that this Nate Silver guy at the New York Times was cooking the books on the polls, along with the rest of the media. Conservatives will say, with some good reason, that unemployment is unacceptably high. Obama didn’t bring hope or change. And there is no way all those flaky college kids and minority voters could be ...

Obama and Civil Liberties: The Prospect of Four More Years
Post Date: 2012-11-05 05:57:19 by Ada

Most voters prioritize the economy and far behind that comes foreign policy, where both major presidential candidates offer more of the same. One can make arguments that on these important issues, one side is worse than the other. But another important set of issues, those of civil liberties, has gotten much less attention than jobs, health care, or war. This is unfortunate because precedents set today on questions of law enforcement, presidential power, detention policy, surveillance, and the relationship between national-security approaches and due process will forever affect the character of American political culture and its governing institutions. In the very long term, civil ...

No matter which hollow man occupies the bunker at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the evidence from 225 years points to an inescapable conclusion: the Founders erred horribly in creating the presidency. To invest in one man quasi-kingly powers over the 13 states then, 300 million people and half a continent today, is madness. And it didn’t have to be this way. Many Anti-Federalists proposed, as an alternative to what they called the “president-general,” either a plural executive—two or more men sharing the office, a recipe for what a sage once called a wise and masterly inactivity—or they wanted no executive at all. Federal affairs would be so limited in scope that they ...
The Indefinite Detention of the Progressive Voter

Earlier this year President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. It allows for the indefinite detention without trial for any U.S. citizen deemed to be a terrorist or an accessory to terrorism. Some might have thought that there would be wide-spread revolt among people who voted for Obama against legalized indefinite detention. And there was some protest, mostly led by Chris Hedges (who did not vote for Obama), with some legal victories against the law. But the political success seems to have come from the law itself -- in favor of Obama. Instead of provoking a revolt, the result seems to be this: Obama is in effect telling his supporters: "You better ...

Obama and Romney share a disdain for civil liberties. During the final presidential debate, the moderator asked Mitt Romney about President Obama's policy of killing suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens, with missiles fired from unmanned aircraft. "I believe we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world," Romney replied. "I support that entirely." In other words, Romney has no qualms about trusting one man with the power to order the summary execution of anyone, anywhere in the world, whom he deems "a threat to us." This bipartisan disregard for civil liberties is the rule ...
