This Guy Doesn't Get It.

2009-04-20T17:12:00.005-04:00

This guy just does not get it. They Tea Party People are protesting against politician's like him. He voted for all the obscene federal Spending that the Tea Party Activists are fighting.

Republican Rep. Gresham Barrett, who supported both the trillion-dollar TARP and now supports the trillion-dollar stimulus package, was booed and hecled by an estimated 3,000 people at a Tax Day Tea Party.

He continues to say he is against the out of control federal spending and is on their side.

How?

Hey I am for you although I act against you.

He should have shut up and left.

He was trying to save face and his politicasl Arse.

Frederick might not have been 100 our man% per say, but he was elected 100% by the grassroots people within the party. They voted for him to replace the good ol' Boy network of neo-cons and entrenched interests who don't pay attention to anyones voices, neo-con or libertarian conservatives, within the party. From self serving leaders who don't care about the party or its own platform or its true non-neocon conservative values. They only care about power and getting rich by milking the people of Virginia.

Frederick probably should not have used his own firm to make the collections of online contributions. Bad judgment and conflict of interest, but not dismissal worthy.

I think most of those charges are trumped up, and I know from more than thirty years of being around the VA GOP that it has been common practice. But, nobody ever raises a fuss unless the a few of the entrenched powers that be don't like the chairman personally, his faction or his ideology, if that ideology threatens their power.

One quote in the article at http://jsnotes.com/2009/03/18/fredericks-scorched-earth-policy/
says "even if you want to ignore that every member of the SCC was elected by the same delegates (and then some) that went to last year’s convention"

This quote's logic is flawed. here is why: Of course the leadership of the Party voted against the people who voted Frederick in, but the people who voted Frederick in did not vote for those who voted Frederick out.

Here's why I say that. The problem is many of the grassroots (regular people in the party) only get involved in the statewide conventions. Most don't get involved in their local meetings and groups, that elect the chairs that then serve on the Central Committee, other than filing for delegate so they can go to the state conventions.

They only come out of the woodwork:

A) once a year to do their duty, if they come out then

B) when the fight is on and we (the party) have lost elections. Then they notice we lost because the party brass has swayed away from our true conservative principles.

Many of the 'true conservatives' in the Party are part timers. Tip O'Neil really was right: "All Politics are Local".

This is where the rubber meets the road. Local action, rather in the party or in the our stream society.

If all those who showed up at the state conventions would get involved in their local meetings regularly (or in their local government bodies), then:

1) we would not have this corrupt leadership within the local, state and federal party ranks or in elected offices.

2) we would not have so many neo-cons in charge of our party or in elected office on local, state and federal levels.

3) we would still have Frederick or might have had a better choice still in office. (not a neo-con good ol boy corrupt puppet)

4) The Central Committee would not over ride our votes, because we would have truly elected them at our local meetings.

Its time to stop playing 'back to the wall' politics. Stop only coming out when the going is bad. People get lazy in the fight for Liberty when their wallets and stomachs are fat.

We need to not focus on the highest offices first. Thats why the founding fathers tried to put all the power at the local level. Its easier to make change from where you live, work, eat and play.
You elect good local guys, then they hold the state guy to task, then the state guy holds the federal guy to task.

And, if their is hardly any power at the top levels, then they that you have least control over can do little damage.

Republican Party Family Values have Changed :(

2009-04-13T18:04:00.006-04:00

The term Grand Old Party has changed in meaning since it was my grandad's, dad's and even my Grand Old Party. It used to be conservative (libertarian conservatism, limited goverment, true free markets, est.). And, it used to be about family values not pornagraphic values. I am against porn in all its forms, but privately you can watch porn all you want, but not using our party's resources to do it.

But on the Republican Party of Virginia's Youtube Channel, in their favorites is a pornsite teaser video called 'The Kiss". There is no nudity or sexual acts involving private parts (it is Youtube), but its pretty racy with girls mackin' out and waving their sex toys around.

Now, that's a Grand Ol' Party!

A picture from their youtube Channel with the porn teaser video circled in yellow:
(Click to see the page - just the video link imge not the video - no nudity)

In case they remove the video, to cover it up we will save the screen shot from

And here is the Virginia Republican Party's favorite porn video.

Companies start competing for bailout money

2008-10-27T13:41:00.005-04:00

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER – 1 day ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The bailout is now the hottest lobbying game in town.

Insurers, automakers and American subsidiaries of foreign banks all want the Treasury Department to cut them a piece of the largest government rescue in U.S. history.

The betting is that many with their hands out will be successful, especially with financial markets in a stomach-churning dive and predictions the economy is about to tumble into a deep recession.

These groups argue that the credit squeeze is so severe and the risks to the economy so dire that their industries need financial support as well.

The Treasury is considering requests from a variety of industries, but has not decided whether to expand the program, officials said Saturday.

Lobbying efforts are intensifying.

The Constitution Party - what’s that?

2008-07-25T18:15:00.004-04:00

From The Progress-Index

Published: Thursday, July 24, 2008 4:19 AM EDT

The Constitution Party - what’s that?To the Editor:Although I am not a member of a political party, I do try to keep up on the issues. And I continue to be amazed and disappointed by the short shrift, if any, given to many issues by the mainstream and local media.

In general, the Ron Paul revolution has been largely ignored; what an opportunity to springboard off this and educate the American people on our history and what our Constitutional principles are all about, which focus on freedom, peace, and prosperity. Specifically, delve into our foreign policy where our free trade agreements are neither free or fair, and where we spend billions all over the world driving us toward bankruptcy. Some coverage is given to Bob Barr running on the Libertarian Party, and certainly Mayor Bloomberg would get a lot of coverage if he would run as an independent.

But what have you heard about the Constitution Party, America’s fastest-growing and largest third party based on voter registrations? In April that party nominated Chuck Baldwin as their presidential candidate over some other fine individuals, including Alan Keyes. The party actually stands for something (other than getting votes no matter what) to include the right to life and the right to keep and bear arms. The party opposes conscription and any type of constitutional convention. It calls for repeal of the Federal Reserve Act and the “anchor baby” loophole used to provide legal status within our nation for border crossers.

It seeks abolition of the Departments of Education and Energy; withdrawal from the United Nations, NATO, NAFTA, and the WTO; termination of all foreign aid and all tax-supported benefits for illegal immigrants; phasing out of the Social Security system; and ending the practice of sending military forces into battle without a congressional declaration of war. Believing that reducing the size of government to constitutional limits would enormously cut government’s monetary needs, the platform calls for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service and the repeal of the income-tax amendment.

You know third parties, and fourth parties would be viable in this country if the media would cover them and enlighten and educate us, instead of ignoring them, and spending their millions on rehashing the same stuff, and the same two parties, over and over and over again. C’mon media, start doing your job.

Open Letter to Eric Cantor on Fisa

2008-06-20T14:40:00.003-04:00

Below is a response to Eric Cantor's Blog:

http://www.cantorforcongress.com/blog/?p=57

Eric Cantor,

I see now that you are a tool. I thought you had the peoples best interest at heart. I never thought I, a true conservative, would ever aplaud the socialist Democrats. The FISA bill is dangerous.

The Declaration of Independence says all men have inalienable rights given by God. The rights in our constitution are rights given to all men. Our Constitution is to protect the rights of our people and our guests (foreigners).

If we use warrentless wire taps then we are either monitoring a foriegner or a citizen in this country while communicating to someone in another nation. That is a violation of the Constitution to wiretap a citizen or a guest without a warrant.

Is Liberty dead or are we failing to get our message out?

2008-06-11T00:44:00.003-04:00

.
The question we must ask ourselves is is Liberty dead or are we to disorganized to get our message out?

Or, could it possibly be that our message resonates, but people figure our candidates will never win?

As, Penn Gilette someone I disagree with on many issues, but a Ron Paul supporter, answered to the remark, "He'll never win", with the retort "He will if we all vote for him, long live the Revolution".

The typical person doesn't believe radical Liberty oriented candidates have a chance, because they think 'they' are the only ones who believe in their message, and that the mainstream population are too selfish to care. So, they figure they will vote for the least of two evils.
The results are devastating to the Liberty of our Republic.

Two examples of this sad truth are the losses of Admit Singh (8th district) and Vern McKinley (10th district) for the Republican Party US House nominations in open primaries today.
.

.
I believe that there is hope. The nation is waking up, although it is the result of a harsh wake up call. They are learning the hard way through economic hardships from our living so far from the Constitution and sound money.

The effects of wrong governence are rearing their ugly heads. Now is the time, as it gets worse to spread the message of Liberty, so the people won't be convinced to turn to bigger government as the savior and answer to save us.

Liberty is Alive and not even death can cheat it

Liberty is Alive!

Just look at the candidacy of Constitionalist, Libertarian, True Conservative, Small Government, Foe of Collectivism Ron Paul.

No, he did not clinch the Republican nomination, but what Paul, a long shot marginal candidate that was given no press coverage, accomplished is phenominal.

Paul had, and still has, a massive grassroots support as reflected in dozens of wins in most of the GOP straw polls, as well as massive support through the internet as evidenced through supporter organized online oneday giving campaigns called moneybombs.

There were many of these supporter organized fundraisers, with the two most notable netting $4.3 million on November 5th, 2007 and $6.0 million on December 16th, 2007. The December 16th fundraiser was the largest one day fundraiser in political history. His contributions from the military trumped all Republican candidates. He also raised raised more than any other Republican candidate in fourth-quarter 2007.

Paul's name was a number one web search term, and he beat out all the other candidates in Youtube subscriptions.

This is a major victory for the message of Constitutional Small Government Liberty.

For more of the victories relatining to Dr. Paul's candidacy for Liberty click this link:

Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Information

More Pro Liberty News:

Also in Virginia, Classic Libertarian/Conservative Pro-Liberty Jeff Frederick defeated Moderate Neo-Conservative Incumbent John Hager for Virginia Republican Party Chairman Position. This is a major victory for old school pro-Liberty conservatives with the technical internet know-how to reach this generation.

Liberty Setbacks:

There was a set back as well. Neo-con Jim Gilmore defeated Classic Conservative, Pro-Liberty Bob Marshall for the Virginia Republican Senate Seat Nomination. This was a convoluted win in my opinion because of the antiquated vote tabulation system at the Rebublican Convention. Because of the voting formula used, Marshall could have had more votes present on the floor at the Convention and still lost to Gilmore.

It warped my brain trying to figure out how to explain this formula in the simplest way possible.

See an attempted explanation of this formula:

Gilmore Eeks Out Formulated Vote Win

There is a Long Road to Hoe in the fight to rescue the Constitution and restore these United States to a Constitutional Republic and great Federation of Semi-autonomous States. There will be victories and setbacks along the way.

And, even if we are lose the war in the end for Liberty in this nation, and on the earth; we should still fight this great fight, because fighting for the Liberty of Man from the Collectivist Tyrany of illegitimate Governing bodies is the moral thing to do.

Give us Liberty or Give us Death

Convoluted Gilmore Senate Race Nomination Win

2008-06-03T19:00:00.002-04:00

*
Gilmore won by 65 tabulated votes. If you crunch the numbers, Gilmore only won because of a convoluted archaic voting system that can give each delegate voter the equivalent of anywhere from one to thirty votes or more.

The Formula: Eligible delegates (those who don't show up to the convention) divided by voting delegates (those who show up to the convention).

Example One: They divide the number of delegates from Area A, (who arrive at the Convention) into the total amount of eligible voting delegates from Area A (who didn't show up), and that number is the delegate strenth of Area A. If two delegates from Area A show up and there are 100 eligible delegates from Area A, then they divide 100 by two and get 50 votes per present delegate. Each Area A delegate's vote is worth 50 votes.

Example Two: They divide the number of delegates from Area B, (who arrive at the Convention) into the total amount of eligible voting delegates from Area B (who didn't show up), and that number is the delegate strenth of Area B. If five delegates from Area B show up and there are 50 eligible delegates from Area B, then they divide 50 by 5 and get 10 votes per present delegate. Each Area B delegate's vote is worth 10 votes.

Then, if Area A with only two people present (being worth 100 votes total) voted for Gilmore and Area B with five people present (being worth only 50 votes total) voted for Marshall,

then Gilmore's two voters had more power than Marshall's five voters.

With this system Marshall could have had more delegates (votes) at the Convention than Gilmore and still lost. I hope the 'actual delegate votes cast' is made public to see who won based on actual present delegate votes.

P.S. Gilmore won fare and square, as far as we know, based on the archaic vote tabulation syatem that the party usees to help far away counties that can't get all there delegates to the Convention. I say "If an area can't get their people interested enough to come to bad.

Let's do away with this archaic delegate vote welfare system, and have a straight vote at the Republican state Convention.

Ron Paul's Phenominal Presidential Run

2008-06-03T18:48:00.000-04:00

The Ron Paul Freedom and Liberty Movement:

"Pleasantly surprised" by his exploratory committee's findings, Paul formally declared his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination on March 12th, 2007, on C-SPAN. His campaign has very strong grassroots support, as reflected in dozens of wins in GOP straw polls, his lead in web searches and YouTube subscriptions, and "surprisingly strong" fundraising with several record-breaking events. Military contributions surpassed all Republican candidates, and donations came heavily from individuals, due significantly to a robust online presence and supporters' creative use of viral marketing. Supporter-organized moneybomb fundraisers netted $4.3 million on November 5th, 2007 and $6.0 million on December 16th, 2007; the latter was widely regarded as the single largest one-day fundraiser in political history. Paul raised more than any other Republican candidate in fourth-quarter 2007. Paul's name was a number-one web search term as ranked by Technorati, beginning around May 2007, and he has led other candidates in YouTube subscriptions since May 20, 2007.

Though projections of 2008 Republican delegate counts have varied widely, Paul's count has consistently been third among the three candidates remaining after Super Tuesday. According to CNN and the New York Times, through Super Tuesday, Paul had received 5 delegates in North Dakota, and was projected to receive 2 in Iowa, 4 in Nevada, and 5 in Alaska based on caucus results, totaling 16. However, Paul's campaign projected 42 delegates based on the same results, including delegates from Colorado, Maine, and Minnesota.

In the January Louisiana caucus, Paul placed second behind John McCain, but uncommitted delegates outnumbered both candidates' pledged delegates, since a registration deadline had been extended to January 12th. Paul said he had the greatest number of pledged Louisiana delegates who had registered by the original January 10th deadline, and formally challenged the deadline extension and the Louisiana GOP's exclusion of voters due to an outdated list; he projected 3 Louisiana delegates. The Super Tuesday West Virginia caucus was won by Mike Huckabee, whose state campaign coordinators reportedly arranged to give 3 Huckabee delegates to Paul in exchange for votes from Paul's supporters. Huckabee has not confirmed this delegate pledge.

Paul's preference votes in primaries and caucuses began at 10% in Iowa (winning Jefferson County) and 8% in New Hampshire; on Super Tuesday they ranged from 25% in Montana and 21% in North Dakota, where he won several counties outright, to 3% in several states. After sweeping four states on March 4th, McCain was widely projected to have a majority of delegates pledged to vote for him in the September party convention. Paul obliquely acknowledged McCain on March 6th: "Though victory in the political sense [is] not available, many victories have been achieved due to hard work and enthusiasm." He continued to contest the remaining primaries, having added, "McCain has the nominal number ... but if you're in a campaign for only gaining power, that is one thing; if you're in a campaign to influence ideas and the future of the country, it's never over." His book about his presidential run, The Revolution: A Manifesto, became a New York Times and Amazon.com bestseller immediately upon release.
