Blog activities are now moved to a solutions-based page on Facebook.

Give this some thought and contribute to this discussion: What are the positives and negatives of having a 'ordinary citizen' as President of our country? What could we accomplish? I serve as a guinea pig in the discussion. Read the info page to see the kinds of flaws that an ordinary citizen might have. Contribute to the discussions on the discussion page.

Thank you for following this blog's past activity.

The embodiment of "I will persevere" rather than "I need a hand-out":

Gold standard...

In this blog you've read about how important it is to kill the Federal Reserve and get our country onto a standard like the gold standard. The Federal Reserve is what allows 'progressives' to control us. 'Progressives' are mostly in the Democrat Party, but many Republicans have also been traitors to our country.

Taken from wiki at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School


"At the beginning of his career Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, was also a strong advocate of the Gold Standard as a protector of economic liberty:

In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard. ^[52]

Advocates argued that the Gold Standard would constrain unsustainable and volatile fractional-reserve banking practices, ensuring that money supply growth ("inflation") would never spiral out of control.^[53][54] Ludwig von Mises asserted that civil liberties would be better protected:

It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights. The demand for constitutional guarantees and for bills of rights was a reaction against arbitrary rule and the nonobservance of old customs by kings.^[55]"

Watch this presentation... it is more important than what you were already planning on doing!

'Progressives' are responsible for the most mass deaths and executions in history...

If you missed the incredibly important documentary about the death cult of 'progessivism', you can see it here:  Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWAAqsoRG3g

Please watch this documentary. Among other things, it points out how the highest in command in the Nazi party described their leftist movement as being only slightly different from communism. Do you remember what NAZI stands for?! Here you go... Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party). When 'progressives' attempt to slur a conservative outlook as being associated with Nazis... CORRECT THEM!

Note to 'progressives' that read this blog: If you continue to go down the path of 'progressivism' you are being a traitor to your country, children and grand-children. We live in America, a Republic that cherishes freedom more than any other place in the world. If you cannot support our country in this manner, get out of our way.  Patriots around the country will stand against you at every turn. Let go of your treasonous beliefs and take a stand for your family and country's future. Don't vote for party, Democrat or Republican... vote for freedom from an oppressive government and excessive taxation. Take a stand with your local TEA Party patriots. There are many Democrats that have joined the movement along with Republicans, Libertarians, and others. If you embrace freedom and limited government, we will welcome you. If not, we will crush you at the ballot box. Choose freedom.

More leftist crap...

• On March 14, 2008, then Sen. Obama voted in favor of the 2009 budget which authorized $3.1 trillion in federal outlays along with a projected $400 billion deficit. The 51-44 vote that morning was strongly along party lines with only two Republicans saying "Yes."
• When the final conference report was presented to the House on June 5, not one Republican voted for it.
• This means the 2009 budget was almost exclusively approved by Democrats, with "Yeas" coming from Obama, his Vice President Joe Biden, his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
• On October 1, 2008, Obama, Biden, and Clinton voted in favor of the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program designed to prevent teetering financial institutions from completely destroying the economy.
• In February, 2009, a $787 billion stimulus bill was passed with just three Republican votes, and later signed by Obama.
• Weeks later, Congress approved and Obama signed $410 billion of additional spending.

Add it all up, and Obama approved every penny spent in fiscal 2009 either via his votes in the Senate or his signature as President.

The glaciers are disappearing, the glaciers are disappearing!!!

Yes, we know that this is complete crap, but gullible, uninformed people still believe lies perpetrated by 'progressives' in their quest for a one-world government.

Yet another story about lies promoted by those 'at the top' of the scientific community reveals the corrupt 'global warming' movement.

Spread the word... 'progressives' are all little dictators that attempt to use feelings of guilt to control you. Every single 'progressive', even the ones that aren't aware of the corruption, are dangerous. Only education and communication fights the lies. Teach your children and family members. The 'progressives' that are aware of the corruption truly are traitors to our country. Neighbors, family members, and workers at your place of employment are involved. Your country is more important than they are. Be proud. Speak your mind. It is OK for them to get mad and storm out of the room, or throw a dinner plate. Their opinions do not promote freedom and only accomplish the opposite. YOUR voice is the one that has strength. YOU are the one that can motivate others to take a stand... you.
