Liberty: The Shining City on A Hill

Once upon a time, in America, we had liberty. Liberty has been good to us.

The United States didn't become a super power because of its great military, great leadership, or even because of capitalism.

Liberty did that for us.

People came to our country for liberty, not money. Liberty made us that shining city on a hill. Not religion. Not overwhelming military force, or the economy.

Immigrants have always known that our country was the best place to live, because if you had a work ethic, and a good idea, you could become rich, or at least make a life for yourself. The government left you alone, and let you live your life as you chose to live it.

Now unfortunately, we're moving away from liberty, and its not just the Democratic party that is trying to take liberty away.

If you want to make something illegal because its morally wrong, you are part of the problem.

If you support wiretapping without a warrant (I support getting a warrant afterwards at least), you are part of the problem

If you support governments over-reaching its authority on eminent domain issues, you are part of the problem.

You see, the Democrat and Republican parties are not the problem. They are a symptom (like a cough tells you that you are sick). After all, we seem to be letting both parties get away with taking our liberties, and we do nothing to stop them. We keep sending them back, and acting like we have to vote for them in blocks, or the other side will "ruin America".

This is why I support a totally write-in election where spelling counts, and you have to know about what you are talking about for your vote to count (maybe you'd have to tell us who Sec of State is or something to that effect).

While the Democrats and the Republicans act like their fighting to keep the chaos factor in check, secretly their both taking our liberty away, little by little.

This is a bi-partisan problem, and it requires a tri-partisan solution.

Cindy Sheehan: Iraq, And The Conservative Bias

My compadre, on The Hawg Pen, Reg-E recently blogged about Cindy Sheehan, and her run for Speaker Nancy Pelosi's seat in Congress.

He explained that her only issue is the war, and that that isn't reason enough to vote for her.

Cindy Sheehan is one of the founders of Gold Star Families for Peace (along with her husband), and like Reg-E, I think she has every right to protest the war.

I do disagree, however, with Reg's assertion that she has nothing to offer.

She will stand up to end the war. She is running against the speaker of the house, who came to this position because of the American people's disdain with the civilian leadership on the war.

Reg-E is quick to point out that the congress has lower approval ratings than President Bush. This is because of the war. Let's not forget what area Speaker Pelosi represents. I'm sure they aren't happy with her handling of the war issue, since she's come into power.

What has congress really offered as far as meaningful legislation regarding immigration, social security, or education? Not a damn thing.

But the Republican Party would rather us talk about how she's a nut. She's been right about the war from day one, as far as it being a mistake.

Cindy Sheehan may be a nut. I've never met her. But I applaud her determination to get her message out.

I have been disappointed with the Pelosi administration and I hope Cindy Sheehan wins. I'm for sending a message to the "Peace Party" that its time for some freaking peace.

That way, the Republicans could make her higher on the list of people to talk about to distract us from what's going on (never mind that most of America agrees with her on the war issue). She won't be up there with Hilary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore or Michael Moore. But she'll get just enough attention from fox news so that they don't have to report the news.

The Republican Party picked Cindy Sheehan to be the poster child for the anti-war movement. Now its once again time to deal with the consequences.

The Hawg Pen will be visiting with T Lee Horne (L - LA) who is campaigning for Governor of Louisiana, on our next show, which is this Saturday @ 10:00a.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

T Lee Horne is probably most famous for his organization of national Libertarian support for private relief after Katrina in 2005, and has been actively campaigning for the seat since 2003.


Sounds like he's taking it pretty seriously to me.

Of course we'll discuss Katrina, and how he'd handle the situation, and what he's preparing to do if he's elected Governor. I look forward to what he has say.


I'm sure that neither the Democrats or Republicans want to hear the 3rd side of this story, considering how well it worked.

So listen Saturday morning. You just may learn something

North American Union: Can the Ron Paul Movement Save us?

On June 15th, 2007, the first meeting of the North American Competitiveness Council was held. In a world of Paris Hilton, Barry Bonds, and other "real news makers" this went almost un-noticed.

The NACC was established by the 3 governments of North America (U.S. Canada and Mexico), in the words of the website, to "to increase security and enhance prosperity among Canada, Mexico and the United States through greater cooperation and information sharing."

The Website denies being a fore-runner to a North American Union. It claims to not be a replacement for NAFTA.
But it is. The NACC, is a test, a laying of the foundation, if you will (another layer of the foundation anyway) for future unification.

After all, look how its worked over in Europe right.The Euro is rising and the Dollar is falling.
To its supporters, a North American Union would further globalization, "enhance" trade between the 3 countries, and help us compete with the EU.

I don't care how much the Euro is worth right now, Europe is a lost cause. The birth-rate among natives are unsustainable, while the birth-rate among immigrants runs rampant. The Euro boom of the aughts will be compared with the dot-com boom of the nineties. Its fake.This is why the Ron Paul movement is the last best chance to keep our country a sovereign nation. That's why its time you started to listen. Its not just about Ron Paul. Its about changing the way our government works.We all need to educate ourselves about the real issues.


Not abortion, gay marriage, or even immigration compare to the importance of this issue. What good is a secure border, if the border is in Guatemala?

So the next time someone asks you about the flag burning issue, mention the North American Union. Tell them what it is and what it means (Mexico will control about 33% of your economy, government and sovereignty).

Then ask them what flag their grandchildren will fight to keep from being burned.
