Ron Paul vs the Empire

When evaluating Ron Paul's chances, it’s important to accept one fact about contemporary America: This is not a democracy, and certainly not a constitutional republic. America is actually a carefully concealed oligarchy. A few thousand people, mostly in government, finance, and the military-industrial complex, run this country for their own purposes....

Once upon a time, I believed...

The Iraq war ‘shatters the illusions’ of a Neocon. Having seen that light, perhaps he would like to investigate the stance of Dr. Ron Paul!

Dr. Ron Paul's Statement of Faith

"I have never been one who is comfortable talking about my faith in the political arena. In fact, the pandering that typically occurs in the election season I find to be distasteful. But for those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do."

A Soldier Reflects

"I served my tour in Iraq after it was clear the WMD would never be found and stood by my helicopter and saluted with tears in my eyes as the body bags containing the remains of my fellow GI's (some weighing less than 30 pounds) were loaded."

Soldiers Share the Devastating Tales of War

"I have PTSD. I know when I got it -- the night I killed an 8-year-old girl. Her family was trying to cross a checkpoint. We'd just shot three guys who'd tried to run a checkpoint. And during that mess, they were just trying to get through to get away from it all. And we ended up shooting all them, too. It was a family of six. The only one that survived was a 13-month-old and her mother. And the worst part about it all was that where I shot my bullets, when I went to see what I'd shot at, there was an 8-year-old girl there. I tried my best to bring her back to life, but there was no use. But that's what triggered my depression."

100,000 Trees need to be planted to offset effects of Live Earth

THIS IS NOT A SPOOF! Live Earth will produce about 74,500 tons of the gas. "We would have to plant 100,000 trees to offset the effect of Live Earth," he said, speaking by telephone. But, he added, "if you can reach 2 billion people and raise awareness, that's pretty fantastic." The tree-hugging goofballs need to get busy!

Party Hacks, Propagandists and Apologists

"It is obvious that the historian must not be biased by any prejudices and party tenets. Those writers who consider historical events as an arsenal of weapons for the conduct of their party feuds are not historians but propagandists and apologists. They are not eager to acquire knowledge but to justify the program of their parties . . . . They usurp the name of history for their writings as a blind in order to deceive the incredulous."

DEFENSE AND OTHER LIES by Joe Sobran

"The most unequal fight of all is the fight to the death between the abortionist and his tiny quarry. The abortionist usually wins. But it isn't polite to say he kills anyone, or anything, no matter how it looks; he terminates a pregnancy, or gives a woman reproductive freedom, or choice, or a certain procedure, or whatever. It's regarded as especially poor taste to show pictures of the result, which might give the impression that "baby-killing" is an accurate term for it."

Neoconservative radicalism has reshaped our political spectrum

"The central tenets of the right wing (neoconservative) movement in this country -- which has seized and now defines the term "conservative" -- are easy to see. They're right there in plain sight -- they want to expand government power in pursuit of mindless, bloodthirsty warmongering and empire-building abroad, and the accompanying liberty-infringement at home."
