Highlights of Ron Paul in Bloomberg Debate

If you watched the Bloomberg debate, hopefully you noticed that only one candidate wants to deal with the real and fundamental issue...the Federal Reserve and sound money.

Useful Idiots March On

I'm constantly told through friends and the Media that my friends watch that the Tea Party is a bunch of radicals and bigots and racists and so on. Yet we have all heard by now the anti-Semitic racist remarks and seen the violence of these Left Wing useful idiots. It's ironic that the very things we are accused of are the very things they do in front of our very eyes. Yet I'm certain this won't change their minds.

Who Would Jefferson Vote For?

According to this article in the Baptist Press, Mormons don't qualify to be President when there are Christians in the race. However, the article states not one qualification but two [I realize there are three].

He added, "I believe that in Rick Perry we have a candidate who is a proven leader, a true conservative and a committed follower of Christ."

So to be elected to the High Office of the USA, one must be a true conservative and Christian. So I have to ask, which one of these qualifications is more important, "Being a true conservative" or a "committed follower of Jesus"? Somehow I doubt believing in Jesus has anything to do with this test. Otherwise, perhaps Obama is more qualified than Romney? Remember, President Obama claims to be a born-again Christian.

Right now, I'd vote for a true blue Jeffersonian Libertarian, even if he was an atheist before I'd waste another vote on a Republican like Romney or Perry. The pastor goes on to say,

"... Part of a pastor's job is to warn his people and others about false religions. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Mormonism are all false religions. And I stand by those statements," he said to applause

Now I agree a person's religious views may greatly impact how one governs. If one is an atheist, that person may have great difficulty in standing for the Prolife position, but perhaps not and should be judged on an individual basis. So an atheist or a Hindu may be far more Prolife than say a professed Christian such as President Obama.


But this all seems to me to lead back to the culture wars. And after fighting in a never-ending war for nearly 24 years, it seems to me that attempting to solve our cultural issues through the power of government is wrong-headed. I think Conservatives need to start re-thinking what Liberty is and the proper role of govenrment.

In other words, what do we want government to do? Do we really want to go back to the days of Prohibition on every issue? For instance, do we really want government to be involved in the homosexual debate? Would not a restoration of Private Property Rights go a long way in solving some of these things?

As my brother asked a conservative friend, if we make homosexuality illegal by the power of government, how far should government go? Do we enter gay homes with guns firing? You may say that is extreme and would never happen, but it happens now. Read this story about how our government fights the drug war. If the government can storm into house and kill you now for smoking pot, why not come into your house and kill you for anything else we give it power to do?

I have to ask a simple question, "Who is the candidate that Thomas Jefferson would vote for?"

Wall Street Protests, Another Reason to Vote for Ron PAul

Here is another great example of where the Left meets the Right. You have the evils of Wall Street bail outs and centralized banking [Federal government in cooperation with printing money with the Federal reserve] colliding with unions and people who think other Americans should pay for their mortgages and health care. America, there is a third way, but you must be willing to accept and be consistent with the principles of liberty. Vote Ron Paul.

Who Is Ron Paul?

Well, we did it. My brother and I attempted to do our first Tea Party Hobos podcast. In this podcast we discuss Republican Presidential Candidate, Ron Paul, and his libertarian views. We discussed a wide variety of issues and only scratched the surface. Below are some links and resources for the show notes. Just click on the above title to listen or download.

The Fraud Is Coming From the Feds

This is just rich. According to Bloomberg, the FBI is investigating Solyndra for fraud. as the article states,

The FBI is investigating Solyndra LLC for possible accounting fraud and the accuracy of financial representations made to the government, according to an agency official.

But even the author, Seth Stern, misses the obvious when he wrote,

Solyndra, which made cylindrical-shaped solar panels, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sept. 6 and fired about 1,100 workers with little notice, about two years after winning a $535 million U.S. loan guarantee from the Energy Department.[Emphasis obviously mine]

The fraud isn't their bankruptcy. The fraud is that the Federal government secures big loans for big corporations because of Centralized Banking that is able to print/launder money. This is the Federal government's fault! Obama and Congress should be investigating themselves!

Of course, Federal employees such as the President are just innocent bystanders. They had no idea that millions and billions of dollars were being laundered back into their campaign coffers even though they made the laws that secured these loans. And of course, he'll be at the helm ready to investigate these corporate weasels. NONSENSE! Americans need to wake up!

The Christian Science Monitor has reported that Ron Paul will be on the Jon Stewart fake news show thi coming Monday. As the article reports,

Jon Stewart has accused the media of unfairly ignoring GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul – and now the host of "The Daily Show” is putting his airtime where his mouth is. The inevitable meet-up is occurring: Stewart will host Rep. Paul on his Monday show.
As can be seen on this funny clip, Stewart is putting his program where his mouth is.
