Free republics are not known to have long life expectancies. At the ripe old age of two hundred and thirty-two, America is definitely showing her age. She is long past her prime, and some are predicting her demise. No, some are PLANNING her demise.

Thomas Jefferson and the other founders of this once-great country believed there was a controlling cabal that was crafting America's servitude. With the assistance of Heaven, they decided to fight those forces. Pastors fought with fiery sermons from the pulpit; newsmen fought with the power of the pen; statesmen fought in the halls of Congress; and merchants fought with the sacrifice of their material gain. Together, they lifted Lady Liberty to her feet and defeated the powers of darkness.

It took the global elite a long time to recover, but they have reemerged with a vengeance. They are now on the precipice of accomplishing what their great granddaddies failed to do: bring the "Liberty or Death" colonists under their power and control.

Sadly, we no longer have the will to resist servitude. Our pulpits are too busy preaching a prosperity gospel; newsmen are in bed with the forces they once disdained; statesmen have been replaced with opportunistic, self-serving politicians; and merchants know no god but money. Hence, it is left to a small--and I mean very small--remnant to sound the clarion call for freedom and independence. Unfortunately, few seem to be listening to their cries.

2010 seems to be a banner year for these designers of despotism. That is the target year for the implementation of the North American Community, which will commercially unite the United States with Canada and Mexico. The global elite suffered a minor setback when the U.S. Senate failed to pass the Bush/McCain/Kennedy/Graham amnesty-for-illegal-aliens bill. But if you think that John Mccain is going to let that bill lie on the floor of defeat, you don't understand these people. Should McCain become President, He will do everything he can to implement some kind of amnesty law. Barack Obama will do the same. The reason? It is essential to the designers of despotism that our borders be eliminated.

Yes, I am saying it: George W. Bush, John McCain, and Barack Obama are part of the global elite that seeks America's entrance into an international New World Order. In fact, neither Presidential candidate from the two major parties will offer any resistance to this obstinate and oppressive oligarchy.

Perhaps one day the American people will wake up and realize that they are being led as sheep to the slaughter. I'm just not sure that it will be soon enough, however. 2010 is just around the corner.

There seems to be only one obstacle standing in the way of the globalists: America's citizens are the most heavily armed people in the world. That fact must surely stick in the throats of the globalists like a chicken bone.

Thank God that America's founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution. Without America's deep-rooted commitment to the right of the people to keep and bear arms, we would have been sold into slavery decades ago.

Without the intellectual understanding of the principles of freedom and the moral resolve to maintain those principles, however, guns, by themselves, will only protect us for so long. In the end, our strength and protection come from God, and not too many people these days seem to be interested in His opinion.

Lady Liberty is walking very gingerly these days, and the path she treads is laden with traps and quicksand. The globalists have their handpicked puppets positioned to take up where The Three Amigos (George Bush I, Bill Clinton, and George Bush II) have left off. The pieces of the puzzle are almost all in place. 2010 just might be the year that Lady Liberty lowers her torch, folds her arms, and falls fast asleep.

For what it is worth, however, I pledge no loyalty to this emerging New World Order. Neither will I let Lady Liberty die without a fight. I will say it again: the battle today is not between conservatives and liberals or Republicans and Democrats. It is a battle between Americans and globalists. And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am an American!

I am truly at a loss on who to vote for. I don't trust Bob Barr. He's been a lifelong drug warrior and statist. Now all of a sudden he's Mr. Libertarian? Maybe. Then again, maybe he's a Republican whose been tasked with spliting up the small government vote. Then there's Baldwin. On the surface, I love the guy. He's like a Ron Paul, Jr. But I have a worry.

Has anyone ever looked a the platform of the Constitution Party, specifically their stance on the drug war? Here is their offical stance:

The Constitution Party will uphold the right of states and localities to restrict access to drugs and to enforce such restrictions. We support legislation to stop the flow of illegal drugs into these United States from foreign sources. As a matter of self-defense, retaliatory policies including embargoes, sanctions, and tariffs, should be considered.

At the same time, we will take care to prevent violations of the Constitutional and civil rights of American citizens. Searches without probable cause and seizures without due process must be prohibited, and the presumption of innocence must be preserved.

I don't know about anyone else, but to me, this sounds like a "lite version" of the drug war. What more, I cannot find a speech in which the Rev. Baldwin speaks of ending the drug war. I googled Chuch Baldwin and war on drugs and came up with notta. Maybe I missed something. Even in his essay If I Were President he doesn't make mention of it.

IMHO, the WOD is the single cause of most governmental abuses in regards to personal liberty and the erosion of the Bill of Rights. Without the precedences set in the name of the WOD, there would be no such thing as the Patriot Act, the Military commissions Act, etc., etc.

You cannot and will not have a Constitutional government until the federal government washes their hands of the WOD. Period. The WOD is unwinninable and because it is unwinnable the government has not choice but to continue to up the annie (sp?) in order to fight it. It's the nature of government. Unless the WOD, and now the WOT is stopped, the government will continue to increase their authority and decrease our liberty, a little at a time, until we are all slaves.

If the Constitution Party cannot see this, then they are no better than the Republicrats and Democans, regardless of how good the rest of their platform may be.

So I have quite the conundrum.

Hate to tell you this, but that line you quoted from the Constitution Party (which I've requoted above) is 100% in-line with the US Constitution.

I have no problem with states and localities regulating drug use. That's the way its supposed to be. What I do have a problem with is the federal government deciding for those states what is and is not an illegal drug. I believe that to be an abuse of the Commerce clause. What if a state decides to make a drug legal but the federal government sys that it's illegal to import that drug into the United States? I don't believe the Constitution was ever meant to be this way. That's no more valid than if the federal government were to say that the states are allowed to sell popcorn but the importation of corn into the country is illegal. Sure the state can grow their own corn, but that's beside the point.

IMHO, the statement, "We support legislation to stop the flow of illegal drugs into these United States from foreign sources. As a matter of self-defense, retaliatory policies including embargoes, sanctions, and tariffs, should be considered," tells me that the CP wants to continue the WOD. I've already explained in detail why I believe that platform to be a deal killer for me.

If people are satisfied with state and local regulation and taxation of alcohol and tobacco, there's no reason that the same wouldn't work for legalized cocaine, etc.

Most importantly, it would put the drug lords and drug gangs out of business just like the mafia's heyday ended when prohibition was repealed. That in itself would be a social benefit that would outweigh the costs of legalizing these drugs.

And one more point: I'm not convinced that there would be many more people using cocaine or heroin if they were legal. There isn't going to be a sudden rush of non-users going out and taking these drugs just because they're legalized. Those who are smart enough not to use them will stay away, whether they're legal or not, those dumb enough to partake will do so, legally or illegally.

Its still Constitutional since the Feds are empowered to regulate what comes into the country and what is kept out.

States are not permitted to regulate international commerce per the Constitution.

So, to recap - while its not 100% acceptable to a true Libertarian, it is Constitutional and thus acceptable to we strict constitutionalists (who are also quite Libertarian).

Solution: Amend the Constitution if it is unacceptable.
