The GOP presidential primary has revealed two inconvenient truths, namely, there are Christians who oppose the Golden Rule, ignore other fundamental principles of their faith and claim to be steadfast for “family values” as they support Newt Gingrich, and there are Jews who claim to be “conservatives,” i.e., advocates of limited government but support unequivocally big government overseas, while embracing most big government policies at home as well.

Peter Drucker’s Vision: Abolish the Welfare State
19
Dec
Twenty years ago, on December 19, 1991, Peter Drucker’s essay, “It Profits Us to Strengthen Nonprofits,” was published in the Wall Street Journal. Although Drucker’s opinion piece was written a generation ago, his advice is more applicable today than when the first President Bush was in the White House.
Why Ron Paul will win Iowa
16
Dec
With a little more than two weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses on January 3, 2012, Rep. Ron Paul is poised to win the caucuses because he is the most fiscal conservative candidate in the race, the most pro free enterprise candidate in the race, the most pro civil liberties candidate in the race, the candidate most critical of the Federal Reserve, the engine of the inflation and the cause of financial bubbles, and the candidate who does not want to go to war at the drop of a hat.
The right to self-defense is not negotiable Senators Weinberg, Menendez and Lautenberg

The House of Representatives passed HR-822, The National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow citizens who have a permit to carry a concealed firearm in their state the ability to do so in any other state.
Neocons in a panic, liberty is within our reach

Nov
Justin Raimondo explains why neoconservatives prefer war instead of diplomacy, and why Ron Paul is the greatest threat to their reckless foreign policies. With Newt toeing the “party line,” namely, that the Patriot Act is the best thing since sliced bread, he has become the darling of the fear mongers. Rep. Ron Paul made the case why the American people should not give up their liberties for security, a principle the Founding Fathers embraced without reservation.
Newt is kaput and Jenkins is clueless

Nov
In this weekend’s WSJ, Holman Jenkins write about the latest GOP presidential candidate who has captured the imagination of conservatives, the Newt, who is a trough feeder at the altar of big government. Jenkins concludes his missive with the following, “…give us a candidate who starts out with sound economic principles in the first place. But we’re still waiting for that political rarity to appear.” This is another example of journalistic malpractice at the WSJ. Is Jenkins so clueless that he does not know what Ron Paul has been advocating for 35 years?
As Ron Paul surges, Romney’s noose is tightening in New Hampshire
19
Nov
Ron Paul has two paths to the GOP nomination. The first path is that he wins early . For this to happen and for Ron Paul to win the Republican presidential nomination, he must win Iowa and win or place a strong second in New Hampshire. Even a second place finish in New Hampshire, especially if Ron Paul comes in a close second slightly behind putative front-runner Mitt Romney in his backyard, would be a huge victory for the Paul campaign, because the Texas congressman could rightfully proclaim that he is now the front-runner.
Some rich enthusiastically support the welfare-warfare state
17
Nov
These so-called patriotic millionaires are anything but. If they want to pay more of their income to support the welfare-warfare state, it goes to show that you can be a complete fool in America and still become wealthy. What a great country. This stunt should lay to rest that wealthy folks believe in free enterprise. They worship big government as much as the left wingers in Congress, in the media and in academia.
Another reason the media hate Ron Paul, but did him a big favor at the South Carolina debate
13
Nov
By now, after nearly a dozen GOP primary presidential debates, every American has seen how the Mainstream Media hate Rep. Ron Paul because he is an uncompromising champion of liberty, sound money, free enterprise and a noninterventionist policy. In each debate, the moderators usually have asked Rep. Paul the least amount of questions, even though his ideas are resonating with more Americans, especially young voters, who have become his core supporters.
Mitt Romney declares war on Iran

Nov
Mitt Romney declares war on Iran in a Wall Street Journal op-ed today. He cites an International Atomic Energy Agency report that alleges Iran may by working feverishly to make nuclear weapons. However, Justin Raimondo waded through the report and concluded the IAEA’s study is ambiguous at best about Iran pursuing a nuclear weapon program.
Ron Paul is right about foreign policy

Nov
Another article explains why Ron Paul’s foreign policy views are in the best interests of the American people. Our interventionist policies, undeclared wars, scores of military bases scattered across the globe and a huge military industrial complex are undermining are economy and causing hatred of America. The neoconservatives from both political parties really know how to destroy America.
You cannot make this stuff up

Snow in October, Cain leading the GOP field…for now, Romney saying anything to appease voters in Iowa and other states, financial “whiz” Jon Corzine drives MF Global into the ground, and the end of the world has been postponed, again. You cannot make this stuff up.
Henninger: I believe in big government
27
Oct
In the WSJ today, Daniel Henninger discuses the GOP debates and calls Ron Paul a “fringe candidate.” Henninger also writes that he changes the channel whenever Ron Paul speaks, because the Texas congressman would “let Iran have the bomb.” According to Henninger, the United States government should give permission to any nation that wants to build a nuclear weapon. So there you have it, the federal government must rule the world. The WSJ is firmly in the big government camp, dissing the only candidate with a plan to rein in government spending, protect our civil liberties, and defend the dollar.
Christie endorses Romney, and therefore supports endless war and the bloated military-industrial complex

On October 11, Governor Christie endorsed “moderate” Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination for president in New Hampshire. A couple of hours later, Christie and Romney held a national teleconference for supporters.

Herman Cain’s 999 plan is the talk of the nation. GOP voters are going gaga over Herman Cain who has rocketed to first place in some polls for the Republican presidential nomination. According to Cain, his 999 plan is the first step toward imposing the Fair Tax.
