Raising Money for Ron Paul...

So the past couple years have stretched the bank account a little thin! I have felt the effects of a highly regulated and fractional reserve banking driven economy.  It has emptied out my wallet but not my ambition! I pretty much have very little more money to give to the Ron Paul campaign and starting brainstorming on ways to get some money flowing to him. Google ad sense is one thing I have going but it takes a long time to reach the $100 dollar threshold in profits which is the point that they pay out. If it the campaign is over, I still promise to make a donation to a Ron Paul supported cause.

I have therefore turned my focus to possibly a more productive way to raise money! I recorded another Ron Paul song. There simply aren't enough already of course! Long story short, all profits from song will be going to the Ron Paul campaign and it is your duty to purchase and share it with friends and family. Here is the link...

Can't Wait for the Brokered Convention!

The thought of a brokered convention usually sets the party base on pins and needles. For me it is a welcome event! All this time, ignorant social conservatives have been amassing to participate in straw polls to fall behind the candidate that they believe can beat the other guy. This action is possibly the most infuriating thing for me to witness in politics. It completely takes issues off the table and effectively reduces the election process to a popularity contest. In this scenario we always end up replacing the incumbent with someone just as bad and often worse. In all honesty, if republicans cared about the actions of a politician instead of what party to which they belonged, they would be in love with Obama! George Bush signed TARP and other ridiculous stimulus programs into law. He enlarged the roll of government in the healthcare industry more than any other president since Johnson. He started two cumbersome, inefficient and blunder-frequent wars. On all of these issues it seems like all Obama did was one up the former president!

The parties are clearly identical and I do not mean to compare democrats and republicans so I'll move on. In all of his cleverness, Ron Paul has been strategically picking up an army of well informed and devoted delegates (an irate and tireless minority) while the other candidates divide the rank and file portion of the GOP. When it is time for the national convention, none of the candidates will have the required amount of votes to obtain the nomination. At this point, those delegates which were at one time bound to cast their vote for the popular vote winner will no longer be required to do so! With all of the Ron Paul infiltration in the delegate process, this could easily put him in first place as we battle for the nomination at the national convention.

I can hardly wait to see that hopeful day when we have an ideologically consistant and honest president in office. One who will not kick the can further down the road in lieu of a fake legacy and comfortable stay at the white house but will tackle imperialism, fractional reserve banking, the growing nanny state/big brother and essentially fight to restore the liberties that the founders of our country fought and died for.

Ron Paul 2012! 

Identifying a Crazy Person. (Newt Lasso's the Moon)

a newt

In my experience, you can tell that someone is crazy once they start coming up with elaborate plans like get rich schemes and unusually lengthy and hard to follow explanations of the mechanics thereof. A con-artist comes to mind.  I usually apply the same common scrutiny sense in identifying a loon as I do the politician giving a speech.  People can swap some goofy stories about people trying to get their friends to go in on some sure-fire Ponzi scheme but Newt Gingrich takes the cake!

Not too long ago, crazy uncle Newt pitched his grand idea in Florida to colonize the moon! Several things set off the crazy alarm on this the biggest and most notable being the condition of our economy. With high unemployment and soviet style run away spending, why would anyone want to increase by 15% our already bloated debt?  How does one claim to be the conservative alternative to a "Massachusetts moderate" and then have great money inflating ideas like that?

Is it fair that we try to put a tin foil hat on Ron Paul who is basically saying that we've tried the Keynesian/big government thing, lets try sound money and more individual Liberty? This man is clearly been channeling the paleo-conservative ghosts of Reagan, Goldwater and Eisenhower. Is that fair when his opponent so vocally defies all reason with ideas of recession-funded moon colonies that would make John Maynard Keynes proud? If you can't see the horrible delusion in that, please sign up for the new moon colony. I'm sure you'll like it.

It's All About the Delegates, Baby!

Ron Paul has yet to take first place in any primary this year. Contrary to what you might believe about the primary process, none of that may matter! That is because while the other candidates have been marketing themselves with all the right buzzwords, written by only the best political consultants and focus groups designed to draw maximum turn out, Ron Paul has been educating his base about the part of the process that matters. That would be the delegates!

In some cases, Ron Paul has come in 3rd place and still walked away with all of the available delegates! For example, in the precinct of Larimer County, Colorado, Ron Paul placed second with about 30 percent of the vote compared to Santorum with 53%.  Ron Paul walked away with all delegates and Santorum might as well have came in last place!

While Ron Paul is being scoffed at as a kooky and fringe candidate, he is orchestrating a brilliant campaign and utilizing a well educated voting base to win the election against all odds. The mainstream Republicans may be laughing now about these primary results but the "Paul-tards" might have the last laugh when it comes time to tally up the delegates!

Don't lose heart at the sight of these primary results. Often times they are non-binding and mean absolutely nothing. Remain vigilant and when you show up to cast a vote for Liberty, be ready to volunteer as a delegate which is what really matters! Let the words of Samuel Adams ring true!

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen onsetting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."

Ron Paul Could Destroy the Two Party System...

Ron Paul could destroy the very flawed two party political system. If he were to win the Republican nomination and in turn the presidency, he could then run as a Libertarian or and Independent. An incumbent president running against two other parties with the ideologies of Ron Paul would cause panic in both parties! He strongly appeals to the fiscal conservatives in the Republican party and just as strongly appeals to the Democrats who vote based on civil liberties. This sort of scenario could easily play out splitting the vote 3 ways and if he won re-election it would give credit to alternative parties such as Constitutionalists and Libertarians.

Wouldn't you just love to see establishment politicians bouncing off the walls in panic to posture themselves to garner support from not just one person but two people running against them? I believe that atmosphere would change our current process from that of a popularity contest into more a of a refining procedure. Politicians would more easily be seen as the demogouges they are and the more honest ones would stand out in contrast as would be expected when you have more choices.

I remember being told in political science classes that a two party system is far better than a mult-party system. After taking the time to research I was confronted with the election of Abraham Lincoln. The election of 1860 was one of the most important in our nations history in which Lincoln ran against not one party, not two parties but three parties! A four party race is what unfolded and the we elected Abraham Lincoln who is thought to be one of the greatest presidents in our nations history. If more Abraham Lincolns are what we have to look forward to with multiple parties, I cannot wait. I look forward to expanding our political options and limiting the options of tyranny. I look forward to voting for Ron Paul and hope that he does make a third party run in his re-election campaign.
