The Dogcatcher Strategy
Posted in: Freedom, Fascism, & Socialism | Comments (0)
“…[C]onservative and libertarian voters want to feel that they have done something important when they vote for “their man” in The Big One. They still believe in the modern conception of the Presidency. They have emotionally accepted the legitimacy of centralized political power. They have not only abandoned the Articles of Confederation; they have abandoned Madison, Jefferson, and John Quincy Adams, who ran for Congress and won after he lost the Presidency in the election of 1828.
“People want to play in the World Series without learning the game in the minors. …
“What matters is the red section of the country in the map of the counties: the heartland. These are the counties that voted for George W. Bush. There are over 3,000 counties in the United States. There are over 100,000 offices to get elected to, if you count school boards. This is the playing field that matters, not the Presidency.” More on page 1469

Is a Nice Muslim a Good Muslim?
Posted in: Freedom, Fascism, & Socialism | Comments (0)
“After a murderous jihad at Fort Hood or the Christmas day airplane bombing attempt, did you hear: ‘Of course, not all Muslims are bad?’ That brings up the question of how do you even tell if a Muslim is bad? Or good?” More on page 1466

The Economy Has Six Months to Live

“… [T]he grotesque carnival of rackets and lies that the US economy has become — held together with the duct tape of stimulus cash, gamed accounting, mortgage subsidies, carry trades, TBTF bailouts, TARPS, TALFS, shell-game BLS reports, and MSNBC ‘green shoots’ cheerleading — gives every sign of tipping into collapse at a moment’s notice.” More on page 1462

Prepare Now to Escape Obama’s Retirement Trap

“The largest source of liquid private wealth remaining in the United States are [sic] the $15 trillion in private retirement funds and the ultimate ownership, control and future of these funds have already been compromised and exchanged for the favorable tax treatment of private retirement plans. Congress writes the laws, so they can tax, penalize, hold your funds hostage and although they’d never use the word, ‘confiscate’ your assets at their discretion.” More on page 1420

What States’ Rights Really Mean
Posted in: Freedom, Fascism, & Socialism, History | Comments (0)
“An anonymous Jefferson (who was vice president at the time) penned what became known as the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, which spelled out the objectionable aspects of the Alien and Sedition Acts as well as the states’ rightful response: nullification. Madison penned similar resolutions that were approved by the Virginia legislature. Although Virginia and Kentucky found little support in other states for these ideas in 1798, with the passage of time all sections of the country would appeal at one time or another to what became known as the ‘Principles of ’98.’
“You may have noticed that these ideas are rather out of fashion today on both left and right. Watkins, however, identifies these ideas as absolutely fundamental to American liberty and as legitimate means, faithful to the spirit of the Constitution, of preventing the expansion of the federal government.” More on page 1371

The Growing Movement to Nullify National Health Care
Posted in: Freedom, Fascism, & Socialism | Comments (0)
“In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn’t represent their interests, State Legislators are looking to the nearly forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from Washington.” More on page 1369
