How does a leader who promises peace around the world, yet expands the war in Afghanistan, authorizes the bombings of innocent civilians, continues to send tens of thousands of troops to fight overseas for an unjustified cause, is in bed with multinational corporations that manipulate the law to suit their needs, further deprives us of our liberties by extending the Patriot Act, uses taxpayer money to give aid to powerful dictatorships, puts us further at the mercy of China through excessive borrowing, builds up the debt through escalating budgets and regulations, authorizes more power for the Federal Reserve, signs away our national sovereignty with unprecedented ease, supports policies that cause more people to starve and die in third-world countries, and acts as if he could care less that the dollar is on the road to destruction - win and accept the Nobel Peace Prize?
Keep making your excuses, liberals.

The Leading Cause of Poverty Today? The Abandonment of Freedom!
We continuously hear over and over again that the leading cause of poverty in America today is a lack of regulations, inadequate taxation, underfunded budgets, "privatized" health care, and the free market system itself. Capitalism is blamed for the over-concentration of power and wealth into hands that belong to the richest of the rich. All of our troubles are claimed to have been caused by the system that brought us more freedom and prosperity than any other nation on earth. My friends, the leading cause of poverty in America today is not capitalism - it is our departure from that system and our inability to preserve the principles upon which our nation was founded.
At the root of the problem is the central banking system that we adopted in 1913 under President Theodore Roosevelt and then advanced further under President Woodrow Wilson. Both of these men were power-hungry globalists whose policies triggered a "need" for an elastic currency. When government bureaucrats propose budgets that are too expensive, taxes that are too high, or regulations that are too burdensome, the Federal Reserve is given the encouragement to expand credit and print money endlessly without a care in the world that the creation of the money itself is entirely artificial. It is created out of thin air.
Before the Federal Reserve, the government had to spend within its means. However, if we continue with a centralized monetary policy, the government will continue to spend and expand without limit. Poverty becomes a very difficult issue to deal with. Politicians, in turn, propose massive taxpayer-funded welfare programs that only drive up inflation, which is not only an increase in the money supply, but also a way of taxing the poor more than any legislative tax could do. When an inflationary policy is endlessly continued in infinite cycles, prices rise, wages go down, and it becomes more expensive for employers to hire people. The dollar is depreciated, and we get less bang for our buck. Poverty programs only make poverty worse.
Never has America been more riddled with useless wars and foreign entanglements than in the past several decades. If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve, the government would not be able to declare wars on other nations without a care in the world what it would do to our national debt and the economic well-being of our citizens. Recently, President Obama confirmed a troop surge of 30,000 men and women into Afghanistan. It's as if he is taking a page right out of the Bush playbook. This was the man who was supposed to be anti-war, the man who everyone thought believed in peace and nonaggression. His supporters continue to make excuses for him, but there is no excuse for sending tens of thousands of troops into a country that should have been left by Americans a long time ago. If you are anti-war, there is no excuse for the actions that were taken by President Obama, so stop making excuses for him. Does anyone else regret that we did not elect Congressman Ron Paul for president?
These wars pose a threat to our security, our economic well-being, and our civil liberties. It gives the totalitarian dictators in Washington the ability to take away our right to privacy and free speech in the name of what they determine is our "national security." When you give up liberty for security, you lose both. The real threat to our security today is the imperialistic power structure that consists of the U.S. government, the corporations preferred by bureaucrats, and the dictatorial Federal Reserve that controls almost every aspect of our economy. We are sinking deeper and deeper into the realms of fascism, and that is not something our Founding Fathers would have been proud of. We must do everything we can to fight for our lives and for our freedoms. We need to return to limited government, low budgets, low taxes, a noninterventionist foreign policy, and sound money.
The cause of all of our troubles, including poverty as we've never seen it before, is the inability to preserve the foundation upon which our great and prosperous nation was founded.

The Idiots at FreePress.Net: Part I
I never thought I'd actually be calling people idiots for their political beliefs, but the folks at FreePress.Net are absolutely out of their minds. What I read literally made me want to throw up. I don't understand these people in the least. What they're calling for almost seems like a government takeover of the media for the sake of getting it out of the hands of the "greedy" corporations. I want to briefly present some of the idiotic remarks I found on the site - and trust me, they are idiotic - and then explain why their idea of a solution only perpetuates the problem they claim they want to prevent.
Well that's all I really have time for today. This is just scratching the surface. I know you're in shock, but please leave your comments below. Thank you, God bless you, and have a fabulous day!
Media owners influence how women and people of color are portrayed in the media.I know this may seem like a small statement the organization is making - and it is true - but it already shows you the scope these people are looking through. Notice that they choose to victimize two groups that are continuously victimized by the government: women and minorities. I am appalled at how women are exposed as objects on television, but this statement leaves out another problem in our media: the portrayal of men and white people. I'm sure there are many sincere, wonderful males out there who compare themselves to the males on television and don't see themselves as "manly" enough for the rest of society, even though it doesn't really matter how masculine or feminine you are. The organization is clearly trying to use "diversity" to push its agenda so that it can use women and minorities as pawns for their own gain.
But these massive conglomerates – like General Electric, Time Warner and News Corp. – only care about the bottom line, not serving the public interest. And allowing these few firms too much control over the flow of news and information is dangerous for our democracy.Again, notice the language. The agenda seems reasonable on the surface, but if you look at the language closer, you will definitely notice some collectivist and Progressive rhetoric that has been used for years by politicians who are shredding our Constitution without an ounce of shame. The phrase "public interest" is often used to justify collectivist ideas, principles, and policies that define the interests of every individual despite the fact that individuals have a relative viewpoint on what is truly in their best interest.
High-speed Internet access is fast becoming a basic public necessity, just like water or electricity.This was the idiotic rhetoric I was speaking of. Can anyone explain to me how high-speed internet is just as important as water? I guess if we don't drink enough internet, we'll suffer from dehydration. Uh-oh! Although I am using a high-speed internet connection at this moment, I can honestly tell you that I survived without high-speed internet for years, and I didn't even come close to dying. Really? Yeah, really! I'm serious. Nothing happened to me. In fact, I've even lived without the electricity that these collectivists claim is a "basic public necessity" for long periods of time through some of the most horrible blizzards we've experienced in years (so much for global warming). To claim the internet as a necessity is one thing, but to call it a basic public necessity is even worse. Anyone with half a brain knows that no one "needs" the internet.
We need to keep the Internet free, open and neutral. Network Neutrality is vital to ensuring that everyone can connect and share content freely, that we can access the information, visit the Web sites and say what we want online, free from discrimination or interference.And that is why, supposedly, putting it in the hands of the government is an even better solution. In fact, the government already partially controls the internet through special interests, the Patriot Act, and the FCC for crying out loud! This solution would just give them more control. If you honestly think that the government is going to be more fair and balanced, you have no idea who controls our government: bureaucrats, special interests, global corporations, and the Federal Reserve. The solution advocated by FreePress.Net would give the government the ability to silence and interrogate opposition, peek in on personal conversations and networking sites, and give the president the executive power to shut down the internet at will. We already have this so-called "network neutrality," but the solutions advocated by this organization, and by members of the Obama administration, would go far beyond that. In fact, Obama's FCC "Diversity" Czar has said that the widely unpopular Fairness Doctrine doesn't go far enough. Although repealed a few years back, elements of the Fairness Doctrine still exist today, and if we let the government have more control over the media, who knows what will happen? Oh, maybe I'm worrying too much. The government already has massive influence over the media. A complete takeover would just be a few steps away.
The way to stop the slide and improve broadband access, service and choice is to pass a comprehensive national broadband plan that is focused on putting our digital future back on track. A national broadband plan would protect Internet freedom and foster competition by bringing new providers into the marketplace, driving economic growth and innovation, and bringing universal, affordable broadband access to all Americans.In a nutshell, that pretty much means socialized internet. Supposedly, the internet should be "free" for everyone by making all citizens pay into the system, regardless of how often they use the internet or whether or not they use it all. What these idiots don't realize is that setting up a "comprehensive national broadband plan" would require trillions of dollars funded by taxpayers, borrowing, and increased printing of money, leading to hyperinflation, bigger debts, and the very destruction of the U.S. dollar. That's not exactly "free," now is it?
Well that's all I really have time for today. This is just scratching the surface. I know you're in shock, but please leave your comments below. Thank you, God bless you, and have a fabulous day!

Extending the Patriot Act: It's Not Just a Bush Thing Anymore
People are angry with the Obama administration for one of the many reasons they were angry with the Bush administration. Apparently, President Obama changed his mind about the Patriot Act, one of the most unconstitutional violations of civil liberties ever to be conceived - and he wants to extend it. So what exactly does the Patriot Act do? Let's review:
1) Terrorism laws include "domestic terrorists," which in the case of the government, might include protesters and organizations that do not fit within the administration's ideology.
2) Law enforcement is given more power to conduct secret searches, including warantless wiretaps and access to medical, business, library, and phone records. Basically, your right to privacy is completely stripped if the government, police, or other body of law enforcement says it is, even if you have not been proven guilty or evident of committing crimes.
3) The FBI can investigate people without any valid reason whatsoever. If it's for "intelligence purposes," you're forced to cooperate against your will.
>4) Non-citizens can be jailed upon mere suspicion, without being proven guilty of any crime. They can be held in six-month increments, and may even be deported and denied re-admission to the United States for engaging in free speech.
There is no way that these policies can be sustained under our Constitution without violating it, which is done anyway. So how does the government justify it? One word:
Security.
Tell me how this is not scary. It's sickening how the government uses "security" to justify its pursuit of power. This is all it's about, folks: power. The Patriot Act is supported by both Democrats and Republicans, despite the public outrage that has stemmed from it. Sure it takes away necessary freedoms in the name of security, but hey, it's "protecting the people." Instead of ceasing all warfare to reduce hostility and violence abroad, let's just throw the Constitution right out the window and pretend that we still care about our Founding principles.
The American people aren't that stupid, are they?
Liberty is at the heart of our very existence. If we throw it away, what do we get? Well, folks, we get an ever-expanding government that will just keep taking away our freedoms until they own our bodies, property, and lives. Without freedom, the people will be powerless and ultimately unhappy. Without our happiness and our livelihood, we won't have anything. Our society will crumble before our very eyes. It will become unproductive and stricken with poverty, and we will only have a global elite to help us get out of it.
People need space. People need to be left alone. People need air to breathe, they need to be content within the safety of their homes, and they need the freedom to do the things that make them happy without harming anyone else. Is it so much to ask the power-hungry leaders of the world to get off our backs and let us be? Must we resort to becoming slaves of a powerful force of greed and totalitarianism that wants nothing but the complete and utter destruction of our Founding principles?
You lied, President Obama. This isn't the change that we sought. We thought you'd be different, but we were wrong. Not only did you betray the very people that supported you, but you betrayed the rest of America as well.
Freedom is a precious gift. When we are free, we can prosper and live the way that we want to. I know damn well that I'm much more productive, much friendlier, and much, much, much happier when I'm given space to do as I please. I know that sounds selfish, but I thrive on my personal happiness and the love that I share with my family and with my wonderful girlfriend. Without that, I'd have nothing. I am grateful everyday that I get to keep those things, and so should the rest of you.
It's time for both liberals and conservatives to stand together to oppose this horrid violation of freedom. If not for others, do it for yourself, your family, and the ones you love. This affects all of us, and we can shape our destiny if we just give it our all.
Don't let them take your livelihood and happiness away from you, for if you do, you will soon regret it. Remember these words, and your spirit will march forward to the drums of freedom:
"Give me liberty, or give me death!"
