You might want to know what Ron Paul has to say about the government’s bailout. He thinks it is unconstitutional (which it is). He thinks it will cost $5 trillion dollars and although it may bring a fix that will last a year or two it will lead to much more inflation after that. There is no question in my mind that if you just double the money supply with no increase in productivity that it will cause hyper-inflation. The inflation that is coming will bring a complete economic collapse.

Ron Paul thinks many more people will see this and his movement for more limited government will grow but if a third party movement is not started before the government controls everything the movement is never going to get off the ground. Especially since half the nation will become dependents of Uncle Sam. Only after the collapse when the funny money given to them buys almost nothing will people understand that if the productive are forced to transfer their wealth to the unproductive they also stop producing. When few are paying taxes the government’s only option is to print more money but that money will rapidly lose value producing inflation, and foreigners will not want to hold it or finance our debt. Then the real crash will come, with martial law, rationing, dictatorship and finally a popular revolution to restore our Constitutional government. That is the future that has been chosen for us by both political parties and it therefore does not matter who gets elected. The end result will be much the same. Obama will just bring the collapse a bit quicker than McCain.

Ron Paul: Bailout means we’ll all suffer – CNN.com

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who has been an opponent of the government’s bailout plan, spoke Friday with CNN’s Kiran Chetry on “American Morning.”
Ron Paul: “Give up on this idea that inflation solves everybody’s problems.”

The Texas Republican says the bailout’s infusion of government money will lead to inflation, that our current monetary system is coming to end, and the market, not politicians, can best solve the economic crisis.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul: They tweaked it up. It started out as a three-page document and went up to 450 pages. Instead of $700 billion it’s up to $850 billion. Reuters had a story out today. They estimate it’s going to cost the American taxpayer about $5 trillion. It’s tweaking in the wrong direction, and I don’t think it’s going to do any good whatsoever.

Chetry: The credit markets are starting to loosen up a bit, at least from what we’ve seen this week. Is that a sign that maybe it is working?

Paul: Maybe to some degree in the short run, but that just means we’ll have more inflation. You can’t create $5 trillion out of thin air and not expect inflation. So although the dollar may be up a little bit right now because the markets are a little calmer, this just means that in time we’re going to all suffer and pay for this, and we’re going to pay for it with higher prices.

This is the serious problem. It’s the attack on the dollar system. They’re trying to save the dollar, but this system that we’ve had since 1971 is nonviable, and it’s coming to an end. That’s what this whole story is about, the end of a monetary system that we’ve had since 1971.

Something has to give. You just can’t create more money out of thin air and propping up everybody. It’s an immoral system. You’re asking the poor people to bail out the rich. You’re asking the innocent people to bail out the guilty. You’re asking people to just totally defy the Constitution because there’s no place in the Constitution that says that we can do these things.

Besides, economically, it’s a disaster. This is going to cause a great deal of harm. It’s like a drug addict taking a strong fix, and he feels better for a day or two, but believe me, we’re going to kill the patient. And the patient here is the dollar system and our entire world economy. I would say let’s get off this addiction.

Get the government out of this overregulation, and give up on this idea that inflation solves everybody’s problems. If inflation, that is the creation of new money, could solve everybody’s problems, which they’re claiming right now, nobody would ever have to work again. If $5 trillion could save this economy, why work? Just print money, and everybody will be happy.

They don’t understand the idea that people have to work. People have to save, instead of consumers spending more money.

It’s arrogant for the politicians and the bureaucrats to believe they can plan the economy and sort this all out. We’ve been doing it for all these years, and the monetary system is so confusing and so corrupt, that the sooner we get back to believing in ourselves, believing in freedom, believing in sound money, believing in the Constitution, we’re going to solve these problems.

Right now there’s a fight going on in this country. Our numbers are growing. We’re not the majority, but our numbers are growing. And as this situation deteriorates, more people are going to say, hey, maybe it’s right. Maybe limited government and freedom works.

Al Gore needs to come down to earth from the moon, get his head out of his crystal ball and learn some fundamental science.

This Nobel buffoon challenges the U.S. to get every kilowatt of electricity out of what he calls “Earth-friendly” sources in 10 years. It can’t be done and everyone knows it. It can’t even be done in fifty years. He is even contradicting the Alliance for Climate Protection that he chairs. They say it will cost the nation 1.5 to 3 trillion dollars over thirty years and that does not even count the two billion it will cost for clean coal. So who do you think will pay this five trillion dollars? You will pay for it by higher prices on everything and through carbon taxes.

We do not have to be at the mercy of oil producing regimes. Environmentalists and globalists like Al Gore made that possible. We can once again be the largest oil producing regime on the planet. We have the largest oil and coal reserves in the world and it will cost only $50 a barrel to get it out of the ground. The oil is in oil shale and oil companies now know how to get it out of the ground without harming the environment. The U.S. and Canada have have enough oil and gas in shale, oil sands and coal to be a major exporter to the world for a thousand years. Granted it would take about 30 years before we can become a major net exporter but each year we will be producing more and more of our own oil at the equivalent of $2 a gallon gas. Those are the facts. However we need to get started if we are ever going to be a net exporter rather than an importer. That means that we have to allow oil shale development on Federal lands where most of it is located and coal plants needs to be built that will start converting coal to oil. The know how exists. Pilot project are under development that will produce oil out of shale for under $50 a barrel, the same methods can be used for oil sands. South Africa is now producing oil out of coal for most of the oil needs of their nation at $30 a barrel.

What really needs to be done is for Congress and environmentalists like Al Gore to stop blocking progress. CO2 in any level that man produces is beneficial to the earth. It makes green plants grow and there is no evidence that it is linked to global warming. In fact, as CO2 level continue to increase the earth has not cooled in over a decade and it actually started major cooling in the last two years. Alaska as I speak is having the coldest summer in a long time. Your not going to see pictures of ice free passages in the Arctic this year unless they use last years footage (that is not at all above them). So without any evidence they say global warming is taking a ten year break and it will start again once they ramrod their crazy energy policies on much of the world. This really has nothing to do with global warming it is all about global control of everyone.

Increased volcanic activity will more likely have more effect on CO2 in the future then anything that man does. Since man only causes less then five percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere.

Another thing is Al Gore and other globalist like him are the ones who exported all our manufacturing to other nations. So they created the rapid uncontrolled development in China and India and now they say that these nations are causing the problem by using more oil. So they created the problem and now the same people who created the problem tell us the problem they created is the cause of the world oil shortage. Gee, maybe you people should of thought of that before you exported all of manufacturing jobs to nations that have few environmental controls. They governments are also subsidizing the cost of oil in these developing nations. If they let the free market set the price of oil many of the jobs would go elsewhere and China and India would not keep expanding at this insane rate.

Al Gore also does not understand economics 101. Oil prices can only go as high as people are willing to pay for it. They are not going to keep going up. If they did there would be a world depression and oil demand would decline. We heard the same nonsense under Jimmy Carter in the late 70’s but then oil prices declined under Ronald Regan due to free enterprise.

That is why anytime you hear of the likelihood of a recession in the U.S. oil prices suddenly decline. If we had a severe recession in this country all nations exports would suffer and these countries would be using less oil. It is possible that in a world recession oil prices could be back under $30 a barrel. There is also new oil coming on line in the next two years that could help push prices down. The main reason oil continues to go up is on the future speculation that demand will increase ten years down the line. However, if we start major drilling programs and other energy development that will take the future out of the oil futures market and oil will go down to what it is actually worth.

I suggest they we have a moon project and send Al Gore to the moon before the globe suffers irreparable harm from the global carbon scheme that he is pushing and his crystal ball predictions of doom.

My Way News – Gore sets ‘moon shot’ goal on climate change

WASHINGTON (AP) – Just as John F. Kennedy set his sights on the moon, Al Gore is challenging the nation to produce every kilowatt of electricity through wind, sun and other Earth-friendly energy sources within 10 years, an audacious goal he hopes the next president will embrace.

The Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan group that he chairs, estimates the cost of transforming the nation to so-called clean electricity sources at $1.5 trillion to $3 trillion over 30 years in public and private money. But he says it would cost about as much to build ozone-killing coal plants to satisfy current demand.

To meet his 10-year goal, Gore said nuclear energy output would continue at current levels while the nation dramatically increases its use of solar, wind, geothermal and so-called clean coal energy. Huge investments must also be made in technologies that reduce energy waste and link existing grids, he said.

If the nation fails to act, the cost of oil will continue to rise as fast-growing China and India increase demand, Gore said. Sustained addiction to oil also will place the nation at the mercy of oil-producing regimes, he said, and the globe would suffer irreparable harm.

Government experts recently predicted that, at the current rate, world energy demand will grow 50 percent over the next two decades. The Energy Information Administration also said in its long-range forecast to 2030 that the world is not close to abandoning fossil fuels despite their effect on global warming.

Ever wonder why perverted rulings are being made by our high courts? This article might give you some insight.
When we have Chief Judges displaying lack of morality, integrity and sound judgment in their own lives how can they then make proper judgments for our nation?

Chief judge ogles nude women painted as cows

The chief judge in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinski, has created an uproar by posting sexually explicit photos and videos on his own website while he’s presiding over an obscenity case in Los Angeles.

But the report said the judge acknowledged in an interview he had posted materials including photographs of nude women on all fours painted to look like cows.

The 57-year-old jurist told the Times he thought the site “was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public.”

The newspaper reported its review of the site, before access was blocked, found public sex, contortionist sex and masturbation.

If Mexico does not win this battle on drug trafficking we will end up with a hostile nation on our south border. Then we will be forced to send our military to defend our south border. The first thing we need to do is to start posting that anyone crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico is subject to deadly force and give our border patrol the weapons, technology and the backing to carry out that policy.

I don’t care what some are saying about the danger this would bring to the innocent illegals that are only coming across to make a living. They are only coming across now because they know they can. Besides, they are already in great danger by those who smuggle them like cattle along with their drugs – hundreds die each year. Common people in Mexico will soon get the message that you do not cross into the U.S illegally if we truly enforce our borders.

How do Liberal “compassionate” supporters of illegal entry rationalize that this policy is causing thousands of deaths and lawlessness in Mexico? Not to mention that drug running across our south border helps to kill many thousands of Americans and ruin the lives of millions through drug addiction. Is that compassion? Sometimes you need tough laws to protect people from the greedy predators of the world.

They say if we tighten up enforcement of our borders some poor workers might get killed but they totally ignore the fact that many thousands are being killed and that whole nations are being subverted by drug cartels.

Sometimes you have to fight to protect a civil society. Do sane people want drug cartels running Mexico? I assure you it will not have a good outcome. Now is the time to put pressure on our own government to join forces with President Calderon to ruthlessly crush the drug cartels. We also need to crush drug gangs in our own nation that have virtually taken over our inner cities. Now please don’t talk to me about the gang’s civil rights when the civil rights of millions of city dwellers have already been taken away by the gangs.

New Mexican ‘revolución’ crosses border, infects U.S.

In the 18 months since President Felipe Calderon took office vowing to defeat the cartels, the Mexican army, increasingly equipped with modern American-made arms, vehicles and communication, has been deployed across the country in a running battle against the cartels. The death toll is rising. The cartels have executed more than 4,000 people: judges, police chiefs and officers, mayors, military commanders and rival gang members, in a continuing battle over control of territory, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango. Portions of the Mexican army have been compromised, and many Mexican soldiers are now cartel enforcers.

The danger now is that revenue from smuggling is so great that cartels can not only bribe officials to get their way, but they can permanently buy off (or kill off) key army, government, political and media figures, rendering Mexico a state dominated by the cartels. Things can get much worse in Mexico than they are today. And that means, things can get much worse for America, too. President Calderon deserves U.S. support as he fights the smuggling cartels for control of Mexico

I do not think it is unreasonable for someone running for President to be drug tested especially since he has a history of drug abuse. Most people are required to be drug tested for their jobs. Any low level federal employee is subject to being drug tested as is everyone in the military. Anyone who admitted to past Cocaine use probably could not even get a Top Secret clearance. It is a scientific fact that cocaine use permanently alters the brain but yet people in America plan to make Obama Commander-in-Chief and put him in the most important position in the world without drug testing him. We require those running for President to disclose their taxes but we do not test them for drugs?

I propose a new law that says that anyone running for federal office be drug tested. Then the results of the test should be published. If America still want to elect such a person they get what they deserve.

To The Point News – IS OBAMA ON DRUGS?

The champion O-gaffe was committed on May 9 in Beaverton, Oregon. You have to see it to believe he actually said that during his campaign, “I have now been to 57 states with one left to go,” then says that one is “Alaska and Hawaii.”

No matter how exhausted from campaigning you are, you don’t make a mistake like that under any normal circumstances. Saying there are 57 states – actually 58, or is it 59? – is such an egregiously stupid error that it is evidence of brain malfunction.

A neuroscientist with years of research into drug abuse and brain chemistry tells To The Point that the behavior exhibited by Obama is consistent with the use of either amphetamines or cocaine.

“His campaign’s almost impossibly high level of activity, mental and physical, unrelenting day after day for month upon month is incredibly hard to maintain,” he says. “The temptation to maintain it psycho-pharmacologically is great, especially for someone with a history of drug use. The drugs of choice would be amphetamines or cocaine, which can cause amazing mistakes, errors of incredible stupidity.”

In his book, Dreams From My Father, Obambi admitted his drug use when young: “Pot (marijuana) had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow (cocaine) when you could afford it. Not smack (heroin), though.”

Teen-age drug use isn’t, of course, evidence for its use in one’s 40s. But when someone who may be elected President of the United States starts behaving suspiciously, then it’s justified to ask that those suspicions be allayed.

Thus, To The Point calls for Barack Hussein Obama to be drug tested.

No urine test, which can be faked and is only good within a few days of drug use. The gold standard of drug testing is done with the testee’s hair – for it is good up to 90 days.

When governments try to balance their budgets on the back of mostly low and lower middle class smokers they themselves are creating the smuggling problem. When government adds several dollars to the cost of one pack of cigarettes they make it very lucrative for smugglers. So what did New York State do about the problem reported in this article. They just raised taxes $1.25 a pack this year to $2.75 to help with their budget shortfall. Every time the states or the Feds raise cigarette taxes they call it a win win situation. They say less people will smoke and they will raise more tax revenue. Obviously there is also a lose lose situation the governments do not tell you about. They are promoting crime and robbing poor people.

I do not smoke but let me tell you what I see going on. My observations are that when one in a couple smoke they both smoke. Most have a family income of less then $30,000 and some are on government assistance. They are addicted and they are not going to quit smoking because government raised the taxes. They each smoke at least a pack a day or 60 packs a month. At $5 a pack it costs them $300 a month. They do not have that much disposable income so some necessities are put off indefinitely. Often their children go without or they live in substandard housing, etc.

Liberal answers to all revenue shortfalls is more taxes especially on things that they do not like and their answer to social problems is to tax or legislate them out of existence. It has never worked and they should not then act surprised when their laws bring these additional problems.

FOXNews.com – Cigarette Smugglers Funnel Money to Terror Groups, Report Finds – Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum

A 15-page report congressional report, obtained by FOX News, includes intelligence from law enforcement as well as New York State’s Department of Taxation and Finance.

The report reads in part: Cigarette smuggling is generating millions of dollars every year that can be reaching terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas and Al Qaeda, according to law enforcement sources. In a single case, $100,000 was sent to Hezbollah.

“This is a very serious homeland security issue, one that has gone unnoticed for far too long,” said Rep. Peter King, (R-N.Y.), the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, who called for the investigation.

“Cigarette smugglers are able to generate millions of dollars in illegal profits with a great deal of this wealth being sent to terrorist groups overseas – groups that would like nothing more than to inflict devastating harm on our country and its citizens.”

One of the key issues, according to the report, is a potential flaw in New York State policy. According to King’s office, there is a policy in the state of “forebearance,” or refusing to collect on sales of Native American tax-free cigarettes to non-Native Americans.

Critics of the policy say it has effectively created a safe haven for smugglers. In some cases, the report says, a well-organized operation can buy cigarettes tax-free on New York’s Indian reservations and sell them at a great profit in the New Yock City area,

If people would just follow the 12 steps suggested in this article the psychiatrist that said that liberals have a mental disease could pronounce you cured.

A 12-step program for recovering liberals

Most 12-step programs start out by requiring that people have to understand that they’re powerless over their addiction and that only by turning their lives over to a Power greater than themselves can they be restored to sanity. Far be it from me to suggest that I am that Power, but clearly someone has to step in and try to rescue these poor liberal souls.

Even the most harebrained among them deserves that much.First, though, they have to acknowledge that Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Dick Durbin, Charles Rangel, Harry Reid and Charles Schumer are not moderates, but, rather, leftists with a socialist agenda. Furthermore, they must recognize that the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, the three major networks, the news magazines and the New Yorker are not objective in their reporting of political events, and neither are Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher, in their commentary. If these entities and individuals are not on the payroll of the DNC, they certainly should be. They certainly put in longer hours than Howard Dean.

FrontPage Magazine: “The last days of this session of Congress will feature, among other legislative spectacles, an effort to thrash out a bill that purports, at long last, to address what is arguably our nation’s most serious single problem: energy insecurity. Unfortunately, the product seems certain to be more of a grab-bag promoting favors for special interests and pet-rocks of senior lawmakers (many of which have nothing to do with reducing our consumption of petroleum imported from unfriendly places) than a program for quickly and cost-effectively ending the main source of that insecurity, namely our addiction to oil from dangerous places. This is all the more astounding – and outrageous – since an option for doing just that is at hand. Call it “fuel choice.””

WorldNetDaily: The aquaholics: “A new kind of addiction has become appallingly evident of late in Canada. Whether it has similarly afflicted Americans, I don’t know. But from what traveling I’ve done in the U.S. I would say not. In Canada, you see the victims of it in business meetings, on park benches, in transit buses, shopping malls, among people walking along the street, even in church – everywhere. It’s an addiction to water – bottled water. I think of these unfortunate people as aquaholics. Some of my best friends have become aquaholics. It’s shocking, really, to see the effects of aquaholism. “

Who would have thought 25 years ago the day would soon come when about one in every 10 people would be drinking water out of plastic bottles as they walked along the street, and paying up to two bucks a shot for it?

But I can imagine the guy who first thought of it, looking for investors: “I’ve got this great idea, you see, Charlie. I think there’s a product we could persuade hundreds of thousands, even millions of goon heads all over the country to pay a buck or more a bottle for.”

“Yeah? What’s that?”

“Water! Yes, I said water. You could actually sell bottled water, like a soft drink, and millions of idiots would buy it.”

With just five percent of the money people spend buying something that they can get for free we could have a water spigot on every street corner of the world.

bottled water tastes better than tap water you say? Actually, I hear most of it comes from a tap water source. It must be that plastic container flavor that you like. Anyone want some bottled water from China? “Why is it yellow”, you ask? Oh..it came from the Yellow River. What is that on the bottom anyway?

I think it may be time to start a ten step program for aguaholics. People can actually get drunk on too much water. We also have been told that it is causing global warming. It is not just the process of making all those plastic bottles either. Restrooms are getting overloaded and the Mississippi is starting to run warmer. All that warm “water” heats up the Gulf causing more powerful hurricanes.

We will need rehab centers where all anyone can get to drink is nice cold beer. Then any future irrational behavior by these people would be fully understandable.

FOXNews.com – Americans Popping Nearly Twice as Many Painkillers Than in 1997 – Health News Current Health News Medical News: “MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — People in the United States are living in a world of pain and they are popping pills at an alarming rate to cope with it. The amount of five major painkillers sold at retail establishments rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005, according to an Associated Press analysis of statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration. More than 200,000 pounds of codeine, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and meperidine were purchased at retail stores during the most recent year represented in the data. That total is enough to give more than 300 milligrams of painkillers to every person in the country. Oxycodone, the chemical used in OxyContin, is responsible for most of the increase. Oxycodone use jumped nearly six-fold between 1997 and 2005. The drug gained notoriety as ‘hillbilly heroin,’ often bought and sold illegally in Appalachia. But its highest rates of sale now occur in places such as suburban St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The world of pain extends beyond big cities and involves more than oxycodone.”

It is not because our pain doubled. We are becoming a nation of addicts. Every wonder why medical insurance keeps increasing? This is one reason why. You are paying for the addiction of others.

FOXNews.com – 1 in 12 Full-Time Workers in U.S. Admit Using Drugs in Past Month – Business And Money Business News Financial News

That’s pretty significant and its getting worse. The report says an equal amount admitted to drinking 5 or more drinks at least 5 times in the last month. That means that 1 out of every 6 employed people admit to being drug abusers. I am not sure that the other 5 are even telling the truth since many will find some reason to lie and others will be in denial. I would bet the figure is more like 1 in 4 and if you went out to include abuse in the last year it would be better then half of all full time workers. If you included non workers and part time workers it would be even worse then that.

If all the people doing something illegal were incarcerated we would have a larger jail population then the entire population of the West coast. I don’t think we are losing the war on drugs and alcohol abuse I think we have already lost it. With all the drug enforcement going on it just continues to get worse. It should make you want to hope that God has the answer to man’s addiction problems because man sure shows that he doesn’t. By the way, God does.
