Constitution

The truth is that Americans are still losing jobs, the Fed is still inflating, and more regulations are in the works that will prevent jobs and productivity from coming back. We are on this trajectory for the long haul. The claim has been made many times that this administration has only had a year to clean up the mess of the last administration. I wish they would at least get started! Instead of reversing course, they are maintaining Bush's policies full speed ahead. They are even keeping the Bush-appointee in charge of the Federal Reserve! They are not even making token efforts at change in economic policy. And for all the talk of transparency, we hear that some powerful senators will do all they can to block a simple audit of the powerful and secretive Federal Reserve.

Libertarian John Jay Myers announces run for US Congress, Texas District 32, against Republican Pete Sessions, all Republocrats, and unconstitutional laws.

If you're a Libertarian Party candidate for political office and you don't want to end up sounding like just another two-faced mealy-mouthed Republican or Democrat, if you don't want to sacrifice libertarian principles in order to gain a few extra votes from an unsuspecting public, watch John Jay Myers' video and take notes.

When Obama is not busy appeasing militant Islamists and making timid statements against other terrorist nations or organizations, he is busy encroaching on individual rights and the conditions under which American business must operate. Obama is going “soft” on potential enemies abroad, taking a policy of appeasement that is likely to invite attack. He is riding roughshod on individual rights of citizens at home. He has this back-assward.

I rise in reluctant opposition to H Res 560, which condemns the Iranian government for its recent actions during the unrest in that country. While I never condone violence, much less the violence that governments are only too willing to mete out to their own citizens, I am always very cautious about “condemning” the actions of governments overseas. As an elected member of the United States House of Representatives, I have always questioned our constitutional authority to sit in judgment of the actions of foreign governments of which we are not representatives. I have always hesitated when my colleagues rush to pronounce final judgment on events thousands of miles away about which we know very little. And we know very little beyond limited press reports about what is happening in Iran.

Welcome to the age of dozens of Czars within the U.S. government, of the nomination of an “empathetic” Supreme Court Justice rather than one who will apply the Constitution as it was written, an age where government forgets its mission – to protect individual rights – and instead promises to put a Yugo in every garage, ending the War of Terror by renaming it, printing money because it has run out of wealth to tax.

While much of the country’s attention is on other issues, a serious situation is developing in Pakistan that threatens to plunge us into another fruitless and bloody war. It is very frustrating to see that many who were so vehemently against the wars of the last administration have suddenly lost interest in foreign policy simply because we were promised change.

Those still paying attention know that nothing could be further from the truth. Very little has changed, except perhaps rhetoric, but what does that matter when the bombing missions are only getting deadlier? Rather than drawing down violent military interventions into the affairs of other countries, the new administration is escalating the foreign policy of the previous administration.

Is there a shred of real capitalism left in the U.S.A? Obama's standing orders seem to be “Find it, take it out to the wood-shed and shoot it!” Even the IRS tells us that we should not pay any more tax than the tax code requires. However, to Obama, if you rationally try to reduce costs such as taxes, you now are an Enemy of the People

Contradicting, instead of defending, the constitution: this is not change. Moreover, contradicting your own campaign promises, promising to kill more jobs and also to save and create jobs, this is not the change we want. Obama: keep the change. We do not want this kind of change.

"Going 62 in a 50-mph zone, a Jeep barreled west on a slippery, snow-
covered Airport Expressway on Valentine's Day and blew past an Allen
County sheriff's squad car. One traffic stop later, two men inside the
Jeep were outside being patted down by officers. They acted nervous,
according to a police report. At one point they looked as if they
wanted to fight; at another they looked as if they wanted to flee. In
the Jeep's back seat, police found more than $26,000 in cash wrapped
in a stocking cap. Though officers held the two men for a short time

With reports of businessmen planning to reduce their taxable income, hypocritical outrage among politicians about bonus pay, and unbelievable earmark spending, this country is soon to see capital on strike, if it isn't already hitting. Show us some confidence in us. Stop the government interventions. End the breaking of promises. Stop the reckless spending. It is time to read a different book. Put away that book by Keynes, Mr. President.

The woman had 8 kids at once today -a litter- to go with her other 6 kids, and she lives with her parents. Her father works with a contractor in Iraq and apparently will be coming home soon. His unmarried daughter opted to have eggs implanted in her apparently while he was gone. Who will pay for this?

Which leads to the obvious question, was this ethical on the part of the doctor who oversaw the procedure? Or is this like the Easter bunnies, chicks, ducklings, and other creatures which will suffer as they grow to maturity because the parents, caretakers, guardians, regents, or what have you will be unable to afford to take care of them. As their doctor said, "They're so cute." Maybe so, but who will pay for this?

Is he really just a one-trick pony? What does he do but grind out speeches? What meat-grinder is running behind him, fed with lists of great words, lists of lofty leftist platitudes? His fans swoon, hearing only heavenly hope, nothing but the sweetest swill. Let me rethink this: “O” could be a two-trick pony: great-sounding public speaking and destroying the economy. Maybe Obama should just stick to making speeches. Let the citizens of this once great country take back their responsibilities and regain their rights.

Prosecute Bush? Former President George Walker Bush? Forty-three? For illegal acts? Like violations of the Constitution type illegal acts?

Are you kidding? Impeachment is one thing. It's what one political party does to the guy of the other political party. It's rare, but it's still just politics.

Does President Obama have any respect for individual rights? Almost every word he speaks shouts “bigger government” and “only government can solve this problem” and “we must spare no expense in recovering from our present financial crisis.” Whatever happened to our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”? Unfortunately, to focus on those matters would have us fail to take full advantage of the crisis.

He committed to limit campaign spending by public matching funds for the presidential election, which would have limited the amount he could spend, and that he then reneged on his promise in June. He promised to stop smoking cigarettes. With Barack Obama readying himself to take on what will be quite a high-stakes and stressful job, are we sure we actually want him to quit smoking? “The nation is too precariously balanced right now to risk having him burst into tears, or march off in a snit, or take to his bed with the glums,” suggested an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times over the News Years weekend.
