I like Rand Paul. Not much of a fan of his dad, but as long as Rand doesn’t try the same crap his dad did, I’d support him. All of that talk about legalizing marijuana and prostitution…ha! What’s the difference between that point of view and the liberal point of view? Not a whole lot if you ask me.

Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph were not associated with Christians in any way, shape or form.

Eric Rudolph has never identified himself with any Christian group. While he claimed to be working on behalf of God, he is not associated with any organized religion. The liberal media of course tries to put him in that category because he has mentioned God in his writings, but almost all religions have a God and certainly all religions have extremists.

From the Wikipedia page regarding McVeigh:

” In the 2001 book American Terrorist, McVeigh stated that he did not believe in Hell and that science is his religion.[89][90] In June 2001, a day before the execution, McVeigh wrote a letter to the Buffalo News identifying as agnostic.[”

To equate McVeigh and Rudolph with Christians is ridiculous. However, all muslims serve the same God, including those who attacked our country on 9/11.

I told my husband after Ron Paul had spoken with Mrs Clinton. Now I could vote for him as our president. He has back bone.

Decades and decades of conservative talking points (“Everyone knows lower taxes means economic growth!’ “The free market rises all boats!” “We must cut entitlements to strengthen the economy!” “Abortion is murder!”) were given with a wink. Politicians knew that for all their talk about ending abortion, they really would never do it, because they needed that wedge issue to run on for elections. They knew that even though they cried for cutting taxes, they could always sneak tax increases in the forms of fees or adjustments, as Reagan did over and over. They understood that it was all stagecraft. But after decades of these talking points without substance, they have birthed a generation of true believers in the form of the tea party. And let’s be honest, the tea party are merely Republicans with another name. These tea partiers have accepted these truisms without examining them and believe them wholly. They missed the winks; they’ve ignored the reality and they’re ready to implement the Republican agenda full bore. The only problem is that the establishment Republicans aren’t interested in doing so, because as Bush’s presidency proved so well, the Republican agenda is a one way ticket to failure. And hence, the implosion of the Republican Party, between the cynicism of the establishment and the willful ignorance — that is fostered as “waking up” by Glenn Beck — of the tea party.

I think right now we are so desperate for someone in that office that has just a shred of decency about them, anyone would look good. I just would like obama out. I do though, like Rand Paul. I just wonder if his foreign policy is in line with his Dad’s….

Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most
to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every
other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts
and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments
for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the
discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in
dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the
means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of
the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced
in the inequality of fortunes and the opportunities of fraud growing
out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals
engendered by both. No nation could reserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. (James Madison)
Rather lengthy but it is among the majority of thought among the framers.
The argument of reality and times a changing give credibility to the thought that Obamacare is okay cause times and or reality changes The 2nd amendment isn’t the same or needed because times or reality changed. Our republic was not founded to be the globocop for good or for bad.
I wish our friend Israel well but again they have big boy pants let them wear them. Likewise if we maintained a non-internationalist policy can we be assured that the Iranians(still pissed at our helping Iraq in their war) end result would be different? If we allowed the Soviets,yes an evil dictatorship, to quell the mujahideen and Osama Bin Laden without our intervention,would we have faced his and their ire and maybe avoided the ensuring carnage? We need to adhere to John Quincy Adams https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/jqadams.htm and not seek these monsters whether real or created and when truly threatened seek congressional declaration as per our constitution.When truly in danger act swift fast and return our swords back to ploughshares.

Doug, I like what u THINK, but that’s thinking NOT REALITY ! I’m not a big , Save the Jews, kind of guy, but they are the last bastion of LIKE thinkers, just like us! Read the BIble about the Holy Land! I just read a National Geog article on how the muslims are destroying our 2,000yr old churches and desecrating our holy places!! And what does our muslim orientated president do? nothing, because he’s destroying our country from the inside, just like Morsi , of Egypt said they would! Did u ever read that Cloward and Piven article I asked u to read, then u’ll see where obama is taking us! and I’m dead scared, there seems to be no one to stop this speeding train! I don’t always agree with u, but I do enjoy reading yr letters! Regards, Colin

“These people”..

That’s scary. Islam does not equal the people who flew planes into the world trade center, just like Christian does not equal Tim McVeigh or Eric Rudolph.

The 14th refers to the incorporation doctrine as ruled by the supreme court (1948 ruling off top of my head) taking the States and making them subject to the first 10 amendments. The 16th deals with taxation and nationalizing our tax base and taking the fruits of my labor (Jefferson) the 17th kills State sovereignty by again nationalizing and creating a true democracy (feared by most inc. Madison,Franklin,Jefferson,John Taylor of Caroline to give examples)
The other alphabet agencies were created using a myriad of tricks,dirty deals and full out power grabs,none are in the constitution art 1 sec 8,but these give rise to the supreme of the Federal and defeat the concept of Federalism as though by the majority of the framers. A consolidation fear as Patrick Henry spoke of.

The possibility exists of cells,groups. Always has always will. I am not willing to trade my liberty for the sanctity of the State. I am willing to defend the borders of my State and her sister States. This does not include Israel or her enemies Egypt. I Am willing to defend Ohio and if need be California (if you beg me) but I am not willing to give my sovereignty for anyone other than my own. This does have negative and positive ramifications but everyone knows where we stand and the line to be crossed. As far as Obama, the States (you and me) and Congress also have plenty of fault for not demanding Constitutional law.
