Republicans are not waking up as they are asleep on the right
Too often Republicans don’t care what commerce is if it is not part of their own bottom line. To far too many of them, the path of national redemption leads by way of a new liberal WARFARE program through the streets of Tehran, and their bosses are the multi-national corporate CEOs who want to keep oil refineries and trade to themselves. They talk a good game on big picture matters but ignore the bits and pieces of compromise that corrupt the whole.
They believe themselves to be such paragon guardians of American virtues, but they compromise those virtues without much thought - like sleepwalking cereal rapists, abusing the constitution when it suits them - not waking up. They are asleep on the right.
America may never awaken to what true progressive values are: individual liberty and free enterprise unfettered by manipulative regulations, steep taxes and international entanglements that trade away our national sovereignty. Republicans don’t care enough about what real money is aside from the false federal reserve notes that poison true commerce. They are ready to compromise about government taking care of everyone's kids while taking ultimate control of them. They have morals completely unworthy of the bits and pieces that compromise gives them at the expense of their integrity and our national treasury.
Patriotic Americans should awaken grateful to God, but we're not. We should be thankful for our kids, ready for our jobs, and to plan our day around improving, empowering and making the most of every circumstance. Instead, there is compromise on core values, and we have forgotten how to listen. We all have been lusting after bits and pieces instead of truth.
As Americans, we have the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of property and happiness. But we must awaken to the values that we have taken for granted in the past and have been abandoning for far to long now.

Imagine
Imagine, no utopia, no liberal diatribe,
Imagine no more empire - it's easy if you try . . .
Imagine world-wide competition for investment as the modern world is at last free to develop to it's true potential. Imagine: a repeal of regressive taxes, starting with ending the punishment of capital gains, and then comes the phasing out of the barbaric income tax. Imagine: an astounding infusion of cash as tens of trillions of dollars worth of investment is cut loose on the economy to fund its growth at an incredible and sustained pace that few but the truly visionary would have predicted. Imagine an economy so strong that excise taxes and the sale of federal lands would cover the needs of a greatly reduced federal government. Imagine, not only the full employment of all Americans who wanted to work, but the competition for millions - tens of millions - more through guest worker programs or sheltered indenture contracts. Imagine if we found that Mexico alone could not possibly supply enough labor for us.
This is the future-past for us, for it has happened before on a proportionally dramatic scale - when early generations blazed a path of thrift, productivity and wise investment as the industrial revolution took off and America grew - remember learning something about that? About - when progressive meant the bold and great experiment in personal liberty unfettered by despotic centralized imperial government management: back when European social conservatives said it could never work, it would never last?
Imagine - though socialist Democrats scream for their liberal welfare programs, bleating like drowning sheep about the suffering of the slothful if their subsidies are not funded through the lawless unconstitutional federal entitlements that they have made into their way of life.
Imagine - though pugnacious Republicans scream for their liberal WARFARE programs, bleating like drowning sheep about the nuclear winter that must come upon the world if their invasions are not funded through the lawless unconstitutional federal entanglements that they have made into their way of life.
And with your vote, chose to say that Ron Paul is right for America.
And -
Imagine all the people, creatively producing wealth,
You may say I'm a dreamer. Well, I'm not the only one . . .

Keeping it real with Ron and Rand
We should be keeping it real with Ron and Rand, celebrating individual freedom as we do so
There is this truth that I would hope more and more reasonable people will embrace as the campaign season wears on in America: only one candidate is choice-grade right on the cause for restoring our constitutional government and leading where we need to take our nation moving forward: that candidate is Ron Paul.
Keeping it real with Ron Paul and his campaign - with Senator Rand Paul at his side - means keeping the rule of constitutional law real and vitally important in our national debate. It means keeping it real when we point out the liberal extremes of welfare and warfare programs, social entitlements and foreign entanglements.
It means we never allow a battle campaign in a foreign land in the name of America without a constitutional declaration of war!
It means we look at what our law describes and delineates is the function of federal government, and obey that description and delineation as the limit of federal power!
Keeping it real with Ron and Rand means speaking these truths in love, because they are rarely understood among even many of our friends and loved ones, our confidants and our own family members, let alone our neighbors: this restoration of our constitutionally limited federal government is going to take time. Restoring our founders' vision will take a multitude of patient sufferings at the hands of those who would mock and ridicule us despite the fact that they are sometimes closest to us.
Bottom line: this means sometimes suffering at the hands of our own: for me that might be my people, evangelical Christians.
I believe standing for the truth is one of life's great privileges, not just a right and responsibility. I feel this from the standpoint of being a believer in Christ:
One, I am admonished to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with my God, and that I am as an ambassador in a world full of nations that are not yet become the kingdom of our God and of his Christ. I am sent as a lamb among wolves, knowing that God's kingdom is not of this world, therefore I am not to fight by force of arms: the battle is spiritual, wrestling not against flesh and blood.
Two, I know that to "reclaim America for Christ" in the evangelical religious right political sense would be helping create nothing more than another worldly kingdom, worse, a theocracy that has stepped out in front of God's presence in body with an entourage ready to rule the politics of the world: namely Christ arriving in the clouds as lightning is seen from east to west, and all his holy angels with him.
This political cause to "reclaim America for Christ" is instead a theocracy without God! Well, let the Pagan Jihadist Islamic despots do that: look, see how it is their false prophet's calling on them in the unworthy name of Allah, a name dredged from the cesspool of Arab idolatry. Let not God's holy name be so defamed as to be drenched in the blood of oppressed victims!
A theocracy without God, or out in front of God's will, is a theocratic despotism! It is tyranny, folks.
Our founders in America instead raised up a Constitutional Republic where people of all beliefs could be invited to live in community together as citizens - a vehicle for bringing the true wealth of opportunity forward in the world through the free enterprise of an unfettered productive, creative people.
That is where evangelical Christians would be free to tell the good news of great joy: the gospel.
It should not be about finding a federal government agency to curtail gay marriages as illegal. It should be about sharing freely how the fleshly abandonment of the natural use of sex is a form of sexual abuse by the authority of scriptures, and Christ proves the power to conquer this abominable human depravity.
It should not be about a federal ban on abortion. It should be about keeping the laws against taking human life outside the due process of law a state mandate, with the product of human conception that we know to be biologically developing, therefore human and being, included in that equality of protection.
Keep it all real with Ron and Rand. And if you're an evangelical Christian, be thankful - even joyful - to God Almighty for the life in your lungs to do so.

When dad gets home
Some conservatives are whining because a real Constitutionalist is in the race for GOP nominee: these naughty Republicans are acting like misbehaving children who feel the fear of when dad gets home
I acknowledge that there is a reluctance among many post-modern conservatives in America to quickly align themselves with a Ron Paul revolution to restore our Constitutional republic.
What I want to do is take a stab at explaining that reluctance.
These conservatives have been calling for restoring the Constitution's rule of law, wanting judges to interpret the Constitution according to original intent, and not to legislate from the bench.
These conservatives say they want lower spending and fiscal restraint. They say they want a strong military and that social causes like pro-life and true marriage are important to them.
Then an authoritative, Jeffersonian Constitutionalist runs for the Republican Party presidential nomination, and these conservatives are very slow, and somewhat reluctant to join his side.
I compare their difficulty with Ron Paul to children who, after crying for dad to come home, don't like to hear dad tell them that they really will have to clean their room, then they need a session with the family's board of education for their disobedience.
Yes, these conservatives need a spanking for their very liberal interpretations of the constitutional rule of law, their social engineering and manipulations that amount to unconstitutional excess.
There are among these conservatives those who screamed for a fight when the 9-11 attacks happened, and they supported the nation's responses regardless of the fact that they circumvented the rule of law that requires the president to seek a declaration of war through congress.
That rule of law requirement has been forgotten, and complaints about presidents abusing the concept of their war powers have been scoffed at, often by these very same hawkish conservatives.
And they argued for the Patriot Act heedless of the marshal law style despotism coded into it.
On the pro life front, these conservatives want the federal government to end abortions through the jack-booted thuggery of centralized, national enforcement.
Some get angry over the frustrating way that the pro-abortion cause has been manipulated through activist judges, and, as voiced by one of the other presidential nomination candidates, would like for a president to violate his limitations of authority and directly punish judges for their violations of judicial restraint.
You can almost hear the rancorous debate: THEY STARTED IT!!! DID NOT!!! I WANT MY POWER BACK!!! NO, GIVE IT TO ME!!!
Children, and they don't like to be corrected, now do they.
There is a problem in America because of liberal welfare programs. There is also a problem in America because of liberal warfare programs.
There are problems because of spending on social manipulation agendas, and also because of spending on corporate manipulation agendas. TARP to HUD, GATT to NAFTA, and a constellation of other Constitutionally lawless acts, need to be on the table for judgement.
But there are Republican Party conservatives who are ready to join the whiners when its their unconstitutional toys that are up for consequences.
These are the conservatives who need to grow up, and their emotional immaturity shows with their feeling of when dad gets home.

TEA Party Patriot organizers bungle straw poll survey
A straw poll of 23,000 conservative activists on Sunday went awry when organizers messed up the instructions for phone-in participants to follow for choosing who they want for GOP presidential nominee.
The polling of TEA Party Patriots listening to four of the seven lead contenders who participated with the phone-in forum were told that they would first vote for who they thought did the best in providing answers during the questioning period.
Instructions explained that then they would be given a chance to choose who of all the seven remaining top contenders they would support for Republican nominee, regardless of participation in the forum.
It was after the forum that the straw poll began, first with a choice of who listeners liked among the forum participants. Only the question was: who do you support from among these four to be the Republican nominee.
Then the instructions changed further, compounding the problem even more. When the second question came, asking whom of the other three candidates do you support, the rules also changed again: only the three, Ron Paul, John Huntsman and Richard Perry, were included for the choices of the second question.
To make matters worse, respondents were only just then informed that if they chose a candidate from among the first four, during the first question, then their response to the second question would not be counted.
This confusion led many to chose from the four forum participants first, then have no recourse to chose a favorite candidate if their favorite was among the second group.
The fact that the straw poll did not place all candidate choices together in a clear selection process with clear instructions that did not change negates the straw poll's credibility.
It is sad that the whole event was completely bungled. It was advertised as a means of gauging conservative TEA Party support for Republican presidential contenders without media manipulation.
Then with the confusion about the instructions, and how the instructions changed, the result was a bungled survey that can't be trusted.
The TEA Party Patriots website indicated the results of the bungled straw poll would be posted at 8 a.m., Monday - December 19.

Sara Palin, the Wiffle Molly
In the present and despairing political environment of Coke or Pepsi parties, Palin comes across as effervescent like a Diet Shasta.
It really is a shame we can't have someone to step up like a true statesman.
I would take on to a stateswoman, but that 90s shill about "gravitas" comes to mind: I wish Palin could put on a serious sense of grinding visionary leadership and tough minded verbal attribution like Britain's Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher.
Put them side by side, and the "hockey mom" sounds like she couldn't lead us out of a sideline spat over a bad call, let alone an international crisis. I do believe that in a campaign that nears the stretch for one or one other having the nuclear codes, there won't be a majority of serious voting Americans who would be able to chose Palin over Obama.
Sorry to say, Palin is much more wiffle-molly than Iron Lady.
So I believe she will find some hurdles rising in the primary road ahead - the new dynamics of the actual primaries will make things very tight for her as a real race for a real nomination begins.
Palin's situation is an education for those of us who are issue visionaries - who like some verbal content, but suddenly have to seriously reconsider a person's context and capability.
With Palin, I can see her legacy taking a place near H. Ross Perot the more this nation puts her into the rear view. She would be the wiffle molly and he would be all ears.
Bottom Lines
The documents that provided a foundation for our nation can grade the way for others
The U.S. Constitution and our Declaration of Independence are some of the unbreakable things about our republic.
After being tortured into saying whatever they needed it to say so they could gain the extreme ends of whatever they wanted, this republic's domestic enemies will never be able to take away the legacy of what the Constitution means to the cause of proper self government.
Though maligned and misunderstood, and now largely ignored for its content and contextual meaning, the Declaration of Independence stands gigantic among the keynote statements for the cause of human freedom.
If a day comes that this country is overrun by every conceivable enemy within and without, if the militant power of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, our revolution, our republic, is undone, yet will these documents remain unbroken, ready to provide the seeds to grow the next tree of liberty - to flourish for whatever next generation is willing to plant, grow, nurture and protect it.
As astute historians have already pointed out, if the revolution had failed to begin with, or the new republic been wiped out in its infancy, either one of these documents would still be worthy of note among the most preeminent and compelling achievements of the millennium.
Our fight is not to bring meaning to these documents but to bring their meaning to us - our land and people - before it's to late, today, for us.
We still have the militant power to assemble ourselves together, to redress our government, to launch judgment on Election Day and speak convincingly at every opportunity for the restoration of our proper, legal system.
We still have the militant power to expose the lawless federal government agencies, the ones not described and delineated in our Constitution, for the fraudulent corruption and illegitimacy that they are.
We still have our voice, and we still are locked and loaded, powder dry - ready to respond if the ballot box is taken away from us. There are still some patriots in America who know how to fight - AND - who would rather fight than squish.
