Catching Wild Pigs

I received this in my email and thought I'd pass it on: A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question.. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'

Dr. Richard Rahn, a senior economist at the Cato Institute, gives us a rather chilling forecast of what is to come in a recent article in the Washington Times. Dr. Rahn predicts that unemployment and inflation will increase rapidly, and the Obama administration will seize control of many private businesses. When the economy continues to decline, Obama and the Democrats will likely take measures to take control of the media and prevent anyone of publicly speaking ill of them.

If you've been keeping up with the blog, you are probably fully aware that one of the more insidious changes advocated by our new President-elect is the requirement of every American, without exception, to serve the federal government in a civilian job force for 3 months. If you don't fully understand the situation, this video outlines it quite clearly: We need to stand up to this now.

I received this forward in my email and though I'd share it: "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." -Thomas Jefferson "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -Thomas Jefferson "It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.

After their crushing defeat in the 2008 elections, the Republican Party is beginning to realize that it needs to make some major changes. However, perhaps not surprisingly, it lacks distinct direction. If enough true conservatives get involved, we can guide the party back to its principles. Take a look here at the party's plan for a new direction, and sign up here to get involved and add your input.

CNN Inteview with George W. Bush As if we didn't have enough reason already to be unhappy with our nation's fearless leader, President Bush admitted in a recent interview with CNN that he has "abandoned free market principles to save the free market." In case you still had any doubt regarding the President's conservatism, this statement should make the question quite clear.

"...we've forgotten who we as politicians are. We are supposed to be the servants under the constitutional direction that we get, of the people.

Ron Paul and the movement for liberty merited a mention in the Orange County Register yesterday. In his article "The Ron Paul Gang Prepares to Ride Again", author Martin Wisckol outlines the plans and potenal effectiveness of the grassroots organization that supports Ron Paul, post-election. The good news is that the freedom movement, spearheaded by Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty, alongside yours truly, the Young Americans for Liberty, has made some noteworthy strides in advancing the cause of liberty. While the GOP is struggling to redefine itself after a devastating defeat in November, proponents of liberty are making their voices heard. The Orange County GOP Governing Central Committee includes at least five Ron Paul supporters, one of which is a town mayor. The Campaign for Liberty also inspired a large swell of grassroots activism protesting the corporate bailout plan, which caused many Congressmen to think twice about casting their votes in favor of the corporations.
