Oath Keepers

Liberty For All
by Jessi Winchester

10/19/09

America is under assault and time is running out. No longer is the enemy ‘at the gate;’ it is in the White House. Every day there is some new attack from those at the highest levels of our own government. Attacks that threaten the very structure of our nation and our very freedom. From so-called ‘health care’ that would cause the demise of millions, to Hitler style brainwashing propaganda on all the major TV networks, the litany of Obama’s meddling into every area of people’s lives is not only terrifying but should not be tolerated by freedom loving citizens...

Freedom’s destruction by constitutional de-construction

Campaign For Liberty
by Timothy Baldwin

10/19/09

During the Constitutional Convention, from May to September 1787, delegates from the colonies were to gather together for the express purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation to form a ‘more perfect union’ (NOT a completely different union!). The men that met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were under direct and limited orders from their states to attend the Federal Convention explicitly to preserve the federation and State rights and to correct the errors of the existing federal government for the limited purposes of handling foreign affairs, commerce among the states and common defense...

What would a truly free nation look like?

The Libertarian Enterprise
by Russell D. Longcore

10/18/09

One day soon, the United States Federal government is likely to collapse. The cause will probably be that the rest of the nations of the world will reject the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and adopt another currency, or a basket of currencies, as their new reserve. This currency move is not just a rumor, but is already happening on a small scale. Once the nations of the world have cast aside the dollar, its value will freefall against all other world currencies...

Can you imagine a free society?

Fr33 Agents
by Kirsten

10/18/09

We live in a world where more and more people are being ‘born blind’ to freedom. With children being brought under government influence earlier and earlier in their lives and that influence growing more and more extensive, what associations, what past experience with freedom do they have? And without that past experience, how much harder is it for people to wrap their heads around notions such as that taxes are theft, that government is just legalized thuggery, that we are responsible for caring for each other rather than government, etc.? It’s somewhat easier for many people to get to minarchism than voluntaryism, but even that can be difficult when the idea is ingrained in our culture that we turn to government to solve our problems first rather than leaving it as a last resort...

More questions for Congress

Downsize DC
by James Leroy Wilson

10/19/09

Two weeks ago, we asked you to write Congress about the Constitutionality of the War on Drugs. Some in Congress responded, but none answered our questions. Even so, we must keep asking such questions. The more we ask, the more nervous Congress will become. Eventually, they will be forced to either answer our questions or admit publicly that they don’t care what the Constitution says...

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch.com: "Is it too early - or already too late - to begin drawing lessons from 'the Long War'? That phrase, coined in 2002 and, by 2005, being championed by Centcom Commander General John Abizaid, was meant to be a catchier name for George W. Bush's 'Global War on Terror.' That was back in the days when inside-the-Beltway types were still dreaming about a global Pax Americana and its domestic partner, a Pax Republicana, and imagining that both, once firmly established, might last forever."

Post-Bush Stress Disorder

Jonathan Alter, Newsweek: "In 'The Godfather,' Sonny talks about going 'to the mattresses,' meaning war with rival Mafia families. Now President Obama and the Democrats are holing up together on their Posturepedics as they work out battle plans on health care, banking reform, and Afghanistan. The question is whether they'll be daring soldiers of the future or content to fight the last war."

“War on Terror” II

Cato Institute
by Julian Sanchez

10/19/09

We know the rules by now, the strange conventions and stilted Kabuki scripts that govern our cartoon facsimile of a national security debate. The Obama administration makes vague, reassuring noises about constraining executive power and protecting civil liberties, but then merrily adopts whatever appalling policy George W. Bush put in place. Conservatives hit the panic button on the right-wing noise machine anyway, keeping the delicate ecosystem in balance by creating the false impression that something has changed. We’ve watched the formula play out with Guantanamo Bay, torture prosecutions and the invocation of ’state secrets.’ We appear to be on the verge of doing the same with national security surveillance...

The Pentagon’s recruitment two-step

AntiWar.Com
by Kelley B. Vlahos

10/20/09

While the framers may have had other things to say — this being the eighth year of two simultaneous foreign interventions in which the nation’s leaders still cannot clearly articulate why we are there and what a so-called victory or exit should look like — that is another story. This is a story about how the military sells escalation, and to do so effectively, it must convince the public that its volunteer forces are healthy, hearty, willing, and able to surge another day. For one, it lowers its recruitment goals year after year, and then when it achieves or exceeds those goals, it enjoins mainstream news reporters in the Pentagon briefing room to write the story straight. That’s how you get headlines like this one from the Washington Post: ‘A Historic Success in Military Recruiting; In Midst of Downturn, All Targets Are Met.’ Then it throws the words ‘historic’ and ‘record high’ around so much that reporters like Eli Lake at the right-wing Washington Times apparently get confused...

What is $1.42 trillion? It's more than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the Republic, more than the entire economy of India, almost as much as Canada's, and more than $4,700 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

Foreclosures: 'Worst three months of all time'

During that time, 937,840 homes received a foreclosure letter -- whether a default notice, auction notice or bank repossession, the RealtyTrac report said. That means one in every 136 U.S. homes were in foreclosure, which is a 5% increase from the second quarter and a 23% jump over the third quarter of 2008.

The Dollar Will Not Crash

By Mike Whitney

What difference does it make if China and Russia are unhappy? Who gives a hoot? Toppling the dollar is going to take a concerted effort by people who truly despise the system, not the blather of malcontents who are simply envious of US power.

The Two Americas

By Andre Damon and Joe Kishore

The big banks have used government money to return to profitability and the stock market has risen more than 50 percent since last March. The market has been pushed up by investors awash in cash who have no productive outlet for their money. But its extraordinary rise is also a vote of confidence in the Obama administration by bankers and big investors who have been reassured that it is fully committed to protecting their interests.

The Republicans have become deficit hawks. It's more phoniness from a party of phonies. They've decided to stake their political future on opposition to Obama's agenda. It doesn't matter what it is; they're against it. Stimulus is bad because extends unemployment benefits and keeps the states on life support. The Republicans have a better idea; let's build more bombs and slash taxes.

You Might Be A Constitutionalist If . . .

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

More than thirty years as a student of American history, constitutional government, and the Holy Bible leads me to the conviction that the two major political parties in this country (at the national level) are equally culpable in stripping America of its founding principles. In my opinion, both the Democrat and Republican parties in Washington, D.C., have zero fidelity to the U.S. Constitution and zero respect for America's foundational precepts. In my studied opinion, neither........
