I miss Ron Paul
This is a bit old but I think it is worth watching. Rejecting the traditional Republican platform is what got the Progressives to control the white house and congress.
I think we need a new party for the people that are against Socialism. We could call it the “Anti Socialist Party of America”. The only problem I see is that antisocial people do not party very much, so we will have to work on that 
Enjoy Ron Paul

Divisive times
I forwarded an email I got that had material from Pat Buchanan. http://buchanan.org/blog/pjb-a-brief-for-whitey-969
The email was the second half of his post. Taken by itself it probably sounds like a rant by some white racist. If you read the whole post you see what is really being said, which is “stop playing the race card – we really do not care about race. If you insist on playing the race card, be honest about it.”
The vast majority of Americans are not racist, could not care less about the color of your skin. If somebody of a race different from yours is rude to you, before you throw the race card stop and consider the possibility that person is just a rude jerk. Maybe he is having a bad day. Maybe you did something that just ticked him off. Exhaust the possibilities before throwing the race card.
I am a white middle class conservative Christian that has worked hard his whole life and always tried to treat people fairly. I have been discriminated against by people of all persuasions including government and employers. I lost one job because I was a Christian. Someone in power in the company went to some new age church that believes in astrology and other things that the bible says is bad. I would not go to his church so he got me fired.
I recently lost a job because i am “old”. I guess for a programmer 51 is ancient. I have had feminists, gays, blacks, hispanics, etc accuse me of being sexist and racist. When I talked later to my gay black hispanic friends about it they told me “that guy is just a jerk. ignore him.” They know me and know that I am getting tired of people whose only conflict resolution technique is to throw the race/sex/creed/whatever card.
I did not oppress anybody. I never owned any slaves. I never lynched anybody. I never deliberately treated anyone unfairly because “he is one of THOSE people.” Frankly, I am getting tired of racist people telling me I am a racist. I may be a jerk sometimes, impatient, tired, just snap at someone, but that does not make me a racist.
That sentiment applies to the vast majority of Americans as well. If it was not for demagogues like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright stirring the pot there would be a lot more racial harmony. Yes, we have white racists too. I don’t know their names and don’t really care to. They are not important. For the most part they do not pop up on the news again and again and again, ad nauseum.
If people would stop telling others “those guys hate you!!!!” maybe the brainwashed would have a chance to reflect and think, consider that that guy that “dissed” you barely saw you; He was just hurrying to something that matters more to him than common courtesy.
Politicians, whether they work in government or just have a following, have always known how to use a crisis to their advantage. They also know how to create a crisis if there is not one just laying around waiting to be milked. They know if we are stirred up we will not stop and think about what a bunch of jerks the demagogues are.
Instead, maybe we will learn to work together and make this world better
Oh yeah. What prompted this post was the fact that someone I worked with for several years and got along with was offended and asked me to take him off my list. Sorry guy.

HISTORY IN A NUTSHELL
This is an email I had to post.
For those that don’t know about history … Here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel.. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1 . Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement..
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, great airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans.. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today’s lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.
And there you have it…Let your next action reveal your true self

Please pray for the president
from Khouse.org
GOD PROTECT PRESIDENT OBAMA
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” -1 Timothy 2:1-2
Before it was recently removed by Facebook’s administrators, at least 730 people had the opportunity to vote in an online poll asking, “Should Obama be killed?” The results indicating how many people voted “yes”, “maybe”, “if he cuts my health care”, or “no” are no longer available because the question has been disabled, but the very fact that somebody would post a question of that tenor about the President of the United States is alarming.
Of course, it’s highly likely that a young Facebook user tossed up the question – a person with no appreciation for the seriousness of protecting the life of the President of the United States. When Secret Service shows up at this Facebooker’s door – with no chuckling involved – the gravity of making an implied threat on a president’s life should get pretty clear.
Unfortunately, there are those on the Left who truly believe that conservatives want Barack Obama dead. There are those who consider Obama-protestors to be a vast conspiracy of insane gun-toting bigots. There are those who believe that this Facebook poll-creator who suggested Obama should be killed is just one representing millions of homicidal right-wing nut jobs. The truth is that all conservatives in their right minds want Barack Obama to live and to live well throughout his entire presidency. The alternative is terrible to imagine.
Conservatives, and especially conservative Christians, should be praying fervently for Barack Obama. Whether or not he is leading well right now, whether or not Americans agree with his policies, whether or not his decisions themselves are good for America, President Obama desperately needs prayer for protection and guidance. His safety is in America’s best interest, and his harm would tear America up from the inside out.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Probably the most controversial thing about him prior to his assassination was that he was a Roman Catholic. He made some good choices and some bad choices as a president, but for the most part he was liked as a handsome young man with a nice young family. In 1963, the United States was still bound together in a common fear of the Soviets. For the most part, Americans still lived in solid family structures and had a basic sense of right and wrong. People lived in communities where folks all knew their neighbors and people kept an eye on each other’s children. Yet, even in that era, President Kennedy’s assassination tore the country up, stirring controversy and speculation that continues to the present day.
Today’s America is seriously polarized into conservative and liberal camps. The nuclear family is no longer a given, and many people may not even know the first names of their next-door neighbors. The Cold War is over, Gitmo is to be emptied, and Americans are currently minus a common enemy to keep us all united. If President Obama were to be assassinated, the resulting rage could easily create a very dangerous, violent firestorm. It wouldn’t even matter which people actually committed the crime, or what their true motivations were, one half the country would still blame the other half.
America needs a President Obama who makes good choices for the United States and leads the country well. We certainly have a duty to express our views to our elected officials and hold them accountable for their actions. We have the duty to tell them how we want them to vote on certain issues. But, whether we agree with them politically or not, we have a vital duty to hold our representatives up in prayer. And whether or not we agree with his policies, we all need to continue to pray for our President, and pray for God’s guidance and direction for him. Not only will his decisions affect us all, but he is – more simply – a human being for whom Christ died. After all, the ultimate battle is a spiritual one, and our greatest weapons are found on our knees.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” – Eph 6:12
