Van Irion For Congress

I endorse Van Irion for his run for Congress in Tennessee's 3rd congressional district.  The primary election is just 5 days away.  


Van is a pro-life, constitutional conservative.  He is in favor of abolishing both the Federal Reserve and the IRS.   On foreign policy, Van writes, "Occupation of an unsecured nation for an indefinite period is not an acceptable military goal."  


In addition to running for Congress, he is bringing a class action lawsuit against the government for this intrusion into our right to make our own decisions on healthcare.  There is still time to join the lawsuit.  You can be named as a plaintiff in the case.  To find out how, just go to the following website:

Linda Goldthorpe for Congress

I endorse Linda Goldthorpe in her run for Congress to represent Michigan's 1st district to replace the disgraced Bart Stupak.  The vote is just three days away!

Linda is pro-life without exceptions for rape and incest and is not afraid to state this plainly on her website.  She is in favor of eliminating the IRS, bringing our servicemen home to their families, and she knows that the so called "free trade" agreements are a scam.  She knows that the tenth amendment is the key to eliminating wasteful federal spending because it prohibits the federal government from exercising powers not granted to it by the Constitution.  She supports vouchers for homeschoolers and opposes unconstitutional federal education standards such as George Bush's No Child Left Behind.  When asked what her legislative priorities would be if elected, she wrote:

We need to take drastic steps to end the Federal Reserve monopoly on the currency, and return to the Constitutionally mandated gold and silver standard.   

We need to maintain a strong national defense at home and at the border, but bring our troops home and practice a neutral foreign policy.

We need to restore and protect all American civil liberties, including the right to bear arms, the right to a prompt and fair trial, freedom of speech and of assembly, and reservation of powers not named in the Constitution for the states and the people.

President Picks Yakking Yentas, PC, & Politics Over Boy Scouts of America

2010 National Scout Jamboree

Last week the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) held their 100 year anniversary celebration in Virginia, near the nation’s Capital. Most past Presidents took time out of their schedules to personally attend the National Scout Jamboree, which happens only every four years. Our President chose to diss the boys and to attend more 'important' events. Apparently he did this because a key component of his and his parties' support base is the active and monied homosexual lobby. The BSA have stood firm against the onslaught of homosexual advocates who desire subvert the principles and practices of the BSA.

The President's choices last week demonstrate his true values and principles, which I believe are ultimately harmful to this society. I concur with the American Family Association President, Tim Wildmon’s assessment of the disdain President Soetoro alias Obama has for the wholesome, traditional, American-value-laden Boy Scouts. He and his regime mates decided to choose an appearance on a gabfest TV show and attendance at a fund raising events in New York over making a personal appearance at the Boy Scouts of America 100 year anniversary celebration. By doing so, the President made his own values and priorities crystal clear.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) represent all that the President apparently has no use for, such as traditional American values, character, conservation, loyalty, one man-one woman marriage, pro-life, traditional intact family, and free enterprise. Instead, he would rather schmooze with the yakking yentas on mourning TV. Maybe, too he wanted to mesmerizing the newly expanded unemployment compensation recipients, who may be sitting at home relaxing and watching TV and waiting for their 100th week's check (made possible by the President's irresponsible cronies in Congress who just bailed them out by increasing the deficit). That is the audience he apparently cares more about. Ironically, the green President fueled up Air-Force One and flew past Virginia, where the Boy Scouts were celebrating, en route to New York to fund raise and do what he does best, campaign, this time for more shameless socialist schmucks.

Late Night Takes – The President, Another View

● President (Barry Soetoro alias Barack) Obama (went) on “The View” to talk about the economy. Later on, he’ll go to “General Hospital” to explain to doctors how the new healthcare system works.

Obama Goes For the Gold, Unpasteurized Milk, Rangle to Enslave Us

Not content with further increasing confiscatory taxes and obligating each and every citizen to their $47,000 share of the $14 Trillion National Debt Congress created, the 111^th Congress and Barack Obama now seek to confiscate two years of each Citizen’s life through HR 5741, the Universal National Service Act.

What is the purpose of the Universal National Service Act? "To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.

HR 5741 Section 105 (c) To the extent determined appropriate by the President, the President may use for purposes of this title the procedures provided in the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.), including procedures for registration, selection, and induction.

The 111^th Congress is blatantly showing its definition of "Serving the Public" which is to serve the public as on a platter rather than to as a servant of public.

Clean House in 2010? I certainly hope so, along with 1/3 of the Senate. Then continue the cleaning in 2012 and 2014.

Don't Give Up On an Obnoxious Person

Bruce Fein vs. Jeff Kuhner

part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.

In the above video series, a spirited discussion takes place about the reasonableness of the foreign policy of the United States, particularly in regard to the “war on terror”. Though I am inclined to agree with one of the debaters, I would like to focus on some objective observations--my personal mental notes, which take a different tack.

The first observation is that, in attempting to win the debate, both sides claim that the other’s is extreme, probably much more extreme than it really is. And each time this claim is made, the other denies it, not just saying that their position is not extreme, but that the other side is misrepresenting what the other’s position is. This is typical in politics. Use fear to demonize your opponent. Not that this debate isn’t valuable and something that the American people need to hear, but the strategy of exaggerating the position of the opposing side takes something away from it. For example, Bruce Fein accused Mr. Kuhner of wanting to kill all Muslims and wanting a police state and Mr. Kuhner accused Bruce of wanting to do nothing about terrorism.

My second observation is that neither side used in argument from the Bible to back up their position. I suppose this better than misusing the Bible, but to disregard the Scriptures or not connect the principles that you are trying to argue to Bible in a way that would be convincing to a Christian audience is a serious mistake. Mr. Kuhner’s arguments are largely based on fear of Islamic terrorism and Fein’s position’s are based on fear of our own government. Though both sides invoke moral arguments which could be loosely based on Scripture, neither one brings the Bible to the forefront. For example, when Mr. Kuhner speaks of how Muslims hate America, calling it “the Great Satan” he merely uses human wisdom and not Biblical wisdom to justify what the he believes to be the appropriate response to the situation as he sees it. But a Christian response (What would Jesus do?) is expected to be different than what would make sense to a nonbeliever (i.e. Luke 6:27 says “Do good to those who hate you”). On the other hand, Mr. Fein doesn’t use these verses. He does not seem to explore the issue of whether an over population of Muslims could, in one way or another, contribute to the breakdown of our sacred institutions (it’s not just the Muslims who rant against the U.S. on the internet).

Perhaps this is outside the scope of the discussion, but neither side was willing to explore the possibility that the September 11^th attacks, the lack of success in response to it, or the increase in the Muslim population is due to the fact that Christians (or those who claim to be) have largely turned their backs on God. Fein and Kuhner argued over whether the Muslims hate us because we meddled in their affairs or because we are fornicators and perverts. But what if any efforts, whether they be aggressive or subdued will all fail for this reason? What if it is because God is not on our side because of our homosexuality, filthy language, pornography, drugs, abortions, and all the rest of our sins? If God were really on our side, would we be in such a quagmire (the war in Afghanistan is the longest in U.S. history)? Would be so overextended, so much in debt, and incapable of defense ourselves (both collectively and individually) without blatantly violating the Constitution? This is something to think about.

DISCLOSE Act Disposed, Cloture Vote Failed 57-41

McConnell: DISCLOSE Act Puts Politics Ahead of First Amendment

Hat tip goes to ResistNet.com for emailing the following information this evening, “This afternoon the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the DISCLOSE Act failed 57-41. Leader Reid voted no for procedural reasons and Senators Lieberman and Ensign were absent. All Republicans present voted against proceeding to the measure.”

Big Labor Unions Would Have Been Exempt!

“Americans want us to focus on jobs, but by taking us off the small business bill and moving to this one (the DISCLOSE Act), Democrats are proving the jobs they care about most are their own.

“Same as it ever was” video by the Talking Feds

Nothing Changes

I stumbled upon this excellent video cleverly communicating and correctly assessing how the current regime in Washington, D.C. handled the Gulf of Mexico oil crisis.

Here are two YouTube descriptions for this Talking Feds video: “You may find yourself watching the Talking Feds. And you may ask yourself is this the change we voted for?” And this: “RightChange.com illustrating the lack of Leadership by (Soetoro aka) Obama and his administration features Chris Matthews and James Carville.”

Is God & was Adam androgynous?

You may wonder what does androgynous mean. It is an organism which has both sexes. A while ago Greg sent me an article, "Made in the Image of God," written by Lambert Dolphin, which he thought was pretty good. I appreciate the article but I wonder about Greg’s judgment.

Dolphin makes the assertion that when God created Adam he was of both sexes and uses the term Adam/Eve. He further asserts that it takes both sexes to fully represent the image of God and God Himself.

Dolphin writes, “Both Adam and Eve already existed as a single unit - as the word bara implies. Having already created (bara) the soul and spirit of Adam/Eve, and after having molded the first body of the first man. God now makes a division of this one compound man into male and female.” Dolphin is mixing terms in the above statement in saying the body of the first man and the spirit and soul of Adam/Eve. To be consistent the first body would have to have been both male and female at the same time. This of course is not possible for the male sex organs and the female sex organs occupy the same location on the human body. Thus males are created to be males and females are created to be females. Not both at the same time.

Those organisms which are androgynous are designed androgynous. The male and female organs occupy separate locations within the organism. One example everyone is familiar with is corn also known as maize. The tassel at the top of the plant is the male potion of the plant. The ear and silk is the female portion of the plant. They occupy different places on the plant. Thus, corn is designed to be both sexes at the same time. Humans are not.

Jesus was a male circumcised the eighth day and also the expressed image of the invisible God. Thus, God is masculine and not androgynous.

Who are the real racists?

The NAACP, the Leftist Media and not the TEA Parties!

The editors of local Mansfield News-Journal newspaper, which I purchased today, included an provocative editorial. The editorial was originally published in the (Louisville, KY) Courier-Journal on July 16. The original title of the editorial was the innocuous, ‘Tea party and race.’ The local paper lit a fire when it titled the reprinted editorial, ‘NAACP right about tea party movement.’ They instigated the very thing that they apparently wanted to supposedly expose.

I will address what I felt were especially egregious and inflammatory elements within the editorial.

“Yet the evidence is growing that this "party" has become a haven for those who do have racially intolerant, even white supremacist, views."

On what basis do they make this astonishing claim? They mention one tea party participant at the Louisville April 15 Tea Party event who was allegedly wearing a tee-shirt with the words, ‘I am a racist.’ Is that all the evidence to condemn a national movement from coast to coast and from unsecured border to unsecured border? Do they offer as evidence the black congressman who walked through the health care ‘reform’ protest crowd, accusing tea party participants making racial slurs and spitting on him? That was a lie. No tape or recording of the many video cameras on the scene recorded any such occurrence. It was fabricated and repeated over and over by the lame Leftist media so that some of the public may fooled into believing the lie.

"You don't have to engage in much guessing to know that it's President Obama and the Democrats in Congress they are talking about, and it is fine if the tea partiers disagree with their policies. But it's not all right to offer a haven o those who believe that the first African-American president is somehow not an American and not a loyal one."

I am personally not convinced that President Soetoro aka Obama meets the qualifications of being President of the United States. Why has the President refused to release his long-form birth certificate, his college transcripts, etc. What is the man hiding? Why has he paid thousands of dollars to keep that information secret? Does demanding proof of citizenship make me a racist? I am offended and insulted by that surly insinuation!

Furthermore, it is Soetoro/Obama’s socialist, Marxist, anti-capitalistic, and anti-free enterprise policies, programs, plans and overall ideology and not his race that makes him so disagreeable, so reprehensible and so un-American. Truth be told, I voted for Alan Keyes, a black man in 2008. I voted for him because of his character and his conservative principles. But because Dr. Keyes is a conservative black man, he is not recognized by the true intolerant racists and bigots on the Left.

"And it's scurrilous to harbor those who are fearful because they believe their future -- in a country that will soon no longer have a white majority -- is somehow in jeopardy."

What a crock! What is really scurrilous are those sanctuary cities who harbour illegal aliens. But that is another topic and subject for another day. The Tea Party participants are not fearful of a non-white majority, we are fearful of an overwhelming, crippling, destroyed economy we are leaving for our grandchildren and future generations. What a truly racist remark to imply that it is blacks and Hispanics that we fear in the future. That thought would not cross the minds of 95% of those who have part in the Tea Party movement in any way.

I am offended by the slurs, implications, as slanderous accusations made by this representative of the old established Leftist-aligned media. Where is the objectivity? Where is the fairness? Where is the balance? Where is the independence?

"It is incumbent on them (Sarah Palin and Rand Paul) to call out those who would latch onto their movement to advance white supremacist views and distance themselves from these extremists."

What the Left can’t get is that the Tea Party Movement is leaderless. Neither Palin or Paul speak for it. It is a spontaneous reaction to the terrible things begin done to this once great nation by a band of rogues occupying the White House and Congress. And once again, here are more false accusations and insulting insinuations. Who are these hoards of white supremacists? I have been to many tea party events and have not seen or heard any racial slurs or ‘white supremacist’ lurking or participating in those crowds. These accusations are bogus, no they are deceitful, and they are flat out lies.

This disgusting, biased, unabashed Leftist editorial title and editorial itself could have easily been written by the campaign manager of Soetoro/Obama, Pelosi, or Reid. And maybe it was! There is a campaign that will intensify the next 100 days that will try to discredit, besmirch, slander, belittle, bad-mouth, and marginalize the TEA Party patriots across America, white, black and brown. Anyone who does not fall in rank with the Leftist will be attacked as racists, homophobes, bigots. Stand firm against the assaults. Remember in November - what they did and want to do to America.

McCain’s for Amnesty, Remember on August 24, 2010

Hat tip goes to HotAirPundit for posting this new TV ad by an opponent of mostly liberal John ‘conservative before the August 24 Arizona Republican Primary Election” McCain. According to J.D. Hayworth's YouTube video description, “JD Hayworth launched a new television advertisement statewide highlighting McCain's long held support for amnesty for illegal aliens. As a U.S. Senator representing Arizona, JD Hayworth will implement border security measures to protect Arizonans and Americans because he believes that border security is national security.” I did not vote for John McCain for President in 2008 and urge all Arizona Republicans to fire him as Senator in August 2010!

The President is really living it up. At a time when his policies are ruining the economy and his policies are creating massive deficits, he has his dog flown to the family vacation. How elite is that? He acts like dictator-lite or a prince. To me this is just a revelation of his true character. Say one thing and do another. He is audacious, he's bodacious, he's loquacious, he's ostentatious, and above all he is pernicious. People wonder why he didn't vacation in the Gulf State region to show his support. That is a good question.

The Presidential Drinking Song

My response to the President's shameless promotion today of the unfunded extension of unemployment benefits beyond the current 99 week provision was two fold.

First, during various sound bites I heard on talk shows and the news today, I kept asking out loud, "How are you going to pay for it?" I guess that is what the GOP in the Senate is asking. They do not want it to be added to the deficit, which seems reasonable. But the unreasonable President, like a spoiled child who has to have his own way, continues to push, demand, exhort Congress to try to pass it for the fourth time ... No, is it merely for political reasons, could it be?

Secondly, the 99 weeks made me think of that merry drinking song about beer on the wall, which I adapted from the original making it a song that President Soetoro alias Obama can sing until he gets his way ... and the taxpayer and future generations get stuck paying the tab ...

The Presidential Drinking Song

99 weeks of unemployment is nothin' at all,
99 weeks of entitlement!
Ya enjoyin’ your semi-retirement, yet?
Congress and me, we’ll keep doling it out,
99 weeks of unemployment is nothing at all!

126 weeks of unemployment is nothin' at all,
126 weeks of entitlement!
Ya enjoyin’ your semi-retirement, yet?
Congress and me, we’ll keep doling it out,
126 weeks of unemployment is nothing at all!

502 weeks of unemployment is nothin' at all,
502 weeks of entitlement!
Ya enjoyin’ your semi-retirement, yet?”
Congress and me, we’ll keep doling it out,

Until China says, “That’s all.”

An Immigrant to America

David Barton read a seventy year-old definition of what it meant to be an American on his Thursday, July 14, 2010 WallbuildersLive radio show broadcast. Historian David Barton feels that this definition encapsulates how to access whether someone really is an immigrant. Here is the definition of what it is to be an American that Barton quoted.
.

“What is an American? An American is a man who is greater in his soul than in his class, creed, political party, or section of the country in which he lives.

“To be an American a man must have an American soul and believe in the spiritual realities upon which America rests and out of which America was born.

“America was created to UNITE mankind by those passions which lift and not the passions which separate and divide.

“We came to America to get rid of the things that divide and make sure of the things that unite.”

--- from the Immigration Handbook, 1941

.
David Barton summarized the above definition this way, “So the definition of immigrant is, we are here to be part of assimilating, we are here to UNITE, we want to further the United States …”

I feel that most illegal aliens do not fit this definition of either Americans or of immigrants to America. Do they assimilate? Does our government encourage them to assimilate when they require bilingual education and other services? No. It seems to me that by our government's action we are encouraging Balkinization, and disunity in the name of diversity and pluralism!!

We are all for immigration, as long as it is legal and helps to contribute to the overall good of this society and this nation. The biggest contributions of immigrants to America were from legal immigrants who went through the red tape and waited their turn in line. Not from the illegal aliens who sponged their way in line and committed the crime of illegal entry.

The government in the last 18 or more years has especially shirked its responsibility to secure the borders and enforce our immigration laws. Essentially President Bush did nothing and President Soetoro/Obama is doing less than nothing. They both wanted amnesty for illegals. Comprehensive immigration reform is amnesty no matter how the Democrats and RINOs in Congress and the White House want to spin it.

The definition to which Barton refers hearkens back to a day when America had clearer vision and an interested and involved populace. The Tea Party Movement is resurrecting some of that previous interest and involvement. However, it must increase its pressure exponentially if we are to put a halt to the destructive policies of Washington, D.C.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER is cry that must carry us through the upcoming and important mid-term general election. The Leftist Democrats and RINO Republicans will try to push amnesty either prior to the November election or during the lame duck session if enough of the current crop of creeps is kicked out of Congress.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER the lack of border security, the lack of enforcement of our current immigration laws, the government’s attempt to stealthily build a North American Union, remember the Democrats’ attempt to give up U.S. sovereignty on many fronts, remember the Democrats’ nomination and votes for judges who would recognize international law above our Constitution. Remember those Democrats and Republicans who agree with our President, that America is not a Christian nation, but a nation with a large Muslim population and godless divisive secular humanism.

Above all remember what has happened the past two years in the government’s attempt to turn our nation from a Democratic Republican Capitalist form of government and economy into a tyrannical socialist state! Let’s stop the nonsense. Enough is enough.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER.

Argentina & Obama now have same same-sex agenda

Note: This is a correction of the blog article I originally posted today. I mistakenly accused Hugo Chavez's Argentinian Senate as having passed same-sex marriage. A commenter to this blog pointed out my error. Chavez is the ruler of Venezuela, not Argentina. I do apologize to Hugo Chavez for lumping him in with our radical same-sex advocate President. I do not know Hugo Chavez's Venezuelan position on same-sex marriage. I stand corrected. I rewrote this article to more fully comply with reality.

"Argentina Senate approves same-sex marriage ... http://bit.ly/cTYv8d"

.
My response the above tweet was:
.

@newsfittags same-sex marriage is a misnomer, it is a falsity, even Argentina cannot create a law that supersedes God’s law or natural law.

.
Isn't it interesting that Argentina seems to be pushing the homosexual agenda, too. And it is a supposedly Catholic country. It seems that our own Dear Leader, President Soetoro/Obama, is not the only one pushing the same-sex agenda in our hemisphere. More and more, President Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama is acting as a dictator-lite promulgating tyranny-lite in all of his policies and agendas including the same-sex agenda!

San Francisco's Queer Pet Ban

“The city of San Francisco may start banning the sale of pets.

“But, not to worry San Franciscans, you still will be able to ‘marry’ them!”

COMMENT

Sadly, in that den of decadence, San Francisco, this humorous item is probably not too far from reality. Frisco is a hot bed of people practicing homosexual and other perverse behaviors. Accepting same-sex relationships and lifestyle will lead to the proliferation of other perverse behaviors such as bestiality.

Racist NAACP calling TEA Parties racists!

.

It is like the proverbial pot that called the kettle black. The NAACP and other key components of the Left, are reaching for anything to smear, to denigrate, to belittle, to smack down the spontaneous Tea Party Movement, which has sprung up all around the nation since shortly after the inauguration of the current occupier of the White House. We are not racists because we disapprove of the evils being foisted on America by the so-called progressives, socialists, Marxists, or communists. The Left is all of the above and then the sum …

.

"Blacks will know they have achieved full acceptance in America when the media begin to treat the NAACP as the hack left wing political group it has obviously become."

--- Jack Cashill in his recent WorldNetDaily article, "NAACP, Media Owe Tea Parties Major Apology."

The alleged racial slurs at the Health Care ‘Reform’ protest in Washington, D.C. at the time of the passage of ObamaCare was conjured up by the devilish press and their accomplices in ‘crime,’ those black Congressmen who tried to incite the crowd by walking through it. They could have easily as not and usually do, take the ‘safer’ tunnel conveyance. When the Tea Party participants would not bite, spit or name-call, then the Leftists tried to invent the same. What a shameful and sensational example of the pot calling the TEA kettle black! Read the Jack Cashill account of the NAACP slanderous slurs here for greater insight into this worrisome development.

Another Obama Deception

President Lies, More Babies Die

The President's Healthcare Reform Plan:

"A high-taxing, poorly thought-out, and taxpayer-funding-of-abortion monstrosity."

Hat Tip goes to the American Family Association (AFA), which alerted me to action by our government in funding abortion in one of the states. Much of the following information was provided by AFA.

.

President (Barry Soetoro a/k/a) Barack Obama deceived Bart Stupak and the handful of pro-life Democratic Congressman the President needed to pass the healthcare deform bill in the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year. He also misled the entire American public on ObamaCare funding for abortions. Apparently in the eyes of this regime, the end justifies the means, even it includes deceit and lies.

Today’s award to the state of Pennsylvania of a grant for $160 million to fund abortion is proof of that deception. It is merely the first volley in an expanded war against defenseless pre-born human beings! Moreover, by providing the $160 million dollars to Pennsylvania to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover every abortion that is legal in that state, abortions will now use my tax dollar in funding a morally reprehensible act.

TAKE ACTION

Join me in sending emails to our senators and representative today urging them to revoke federal taxpayer funding of abortions in Pennsylvania. In addition, prevail upon them to repeal ObamaCare in its entirety and defund it in the meantime

Re: New Healthcare Reform Bill Funds Abortion Already!

Dear Senator Brown:

The president signed an executive order this spring barring the use of federal funds to finance abortions under the new health care reform law.

Despite this order, his Department of Health and Human Services is now giving $160 million to the state of Pennsylvania to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state.

I join many Americans in expressing my outrage that federal funds are being used to pay for abortions after the president's promise that nothing of the sort would happen.

I urge you to revoke this use of my federal taxpayer dollars to destroy innocent human life in the womb. Please work to repeal ObamaCare in its entirety and defund it in the meantime. The President used deceit to pass the legislation. Apparently he no intention to keep or to abide by his executive order. It was just a ploy, a ploy to destroy more pre-born human beings!

Sincerely,

Market Manipulation on Display

From the Daily Paul...

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

The criminals use fast and sophistocated computer orders to place outrageously large "bids" to move the price, then pull the bids microseconds before they can execute.

In the real time video example, you can see that bids in excess of 2000 (compared to most bids of 10's or 100's) are placed and removed repeatedly. The normal bid numbers are dwarfed by these mega mover bids and the price changes accordingly.

Look at the total executions to the left of the scale to show proof that the large bids were never allowed to be completed.

RJ Harris for Congress, part 2

http://www.rjharris2010.com/theissuesbrief.asp

Last week, I announced my endorsement of R.J. Harris, candidate for Congress in Oklahoma’s 4^th district and discussed the positions of his opponent in the Republican primary. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he is a typical Tea Party Republican.

He is against bailouts, stimulus packages and welfare of all types including Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. (But he believes in continuing to compensate people who already paid into the system.) He opposes the War on Drugs. He supports a Balanced Budget Amendment, Civil Rights Amendment, free markets and free trade, and the elimination of the Departments of Education, Energy, and Interior and the EPA. The courts should be used to protect the property rights of those whose property has been damaged environmentally, not bureaucratic federal agencies. He supports a literal interpretation of the first, second and tenth amendments, but would repeal the 16^th and set taxes at a maximum of 10% (Fair Tax). He would repeal the Federal Reserve Act and return the power over monetary policy to the People. He opposes federally imposed term limits. He would require that all bills be read in order for them to be voted on. He would run his office with transparency, free from undue influence of lobbyist campaign contributions, refuse congressional perks, operate under budget, and represent all constituents in his district, even if they didn’t vote for him.

Harris did do two tours of duty in Iraq as a member of the National Guard, but now questions the wisdom of the war. He believes in using the military sparingly and only when there is a real declaration of war. In an older version of his campaign website, he said that he believes that a war would be justified even if a foreign sovereign unjustly killed even one American. As he points out, though, this was not the case with the government of Iraq. He supports the idea of issuing Letters of Marque and Reprisal against Al-Qaeda. He understands the importance of a Constitutional militia and that it could solve many of our problems, including that of illegal immigration. He supports protecting and increasing benefits for our badly treated and misused military veterans.

Harris is not much on conspiracy theories. He does not believe in “911 Truth”, but says that he supports an independent congressional investigation to settle the issue once and for all. (911 Truth is a conspiracy theory that the attacks on September 11^th, 2001 were an inside job.) How does he explain the high concentration of the metal-melting explosive nano-thermite found in the debris? How does he explain the reports of (and footage of) “bombs going off” and what appeared to be detonation charges prior to the collapse of the twin towers? How does he explain that this also happened to Building 7 just before it collapsed a building which WAS NOT EVEN HIT BY A PLANE? He is not even a Birther.

Another tidbit that you won’t find on his website now is that he believed that life does NOT begin at conception. But he said that he would be in favor of laws protecting the unborn from conception “just in case I’m wrong”. That sure is an interesting twist. Usually it’s the other way around. Candidates like John McCain say that they believe life begins at conception, but also say that abortion should be legal in cases of rape and incest (thus advocating legalized murder). But Harris’s position advocates punishing people for what might not really be a crime, thus punishing someone not proven to be guilty (if in fact life does not begin at conception) beyond a reasonable doubt. In order for his position to be consistent he would have to advocate that an abortion should be crime even if it isn’t murder. That would be difficult for a libertarian. But Harris appears to have changed his position saying now that abortion is unconstitutional and that he “will support or propose legislation defining personhood as beginning at conception”. Given his opponent’s abismal record on the issue, I certainly am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Harris takes the standard libertarian/states’ rights position on marriage--the government should not get involved, leave it up to each church to decide, but the states can make their own laws without interference from the Federal Government. He is in favor of a Constitutional Amendment to revoke the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution in cases where the constitutions of two states conflict. I personally think that this is unnecessary because this clause was never intended to allow one state to impose its laws on another state. It is only that legal records from another state must be admissible in court. Although I personally believe that state credentialing is ludicrous, different states have different requirements to become, for example, a registered nurse. Being licensed in one state does not legally entitle you to practice nursing in another state. The same is true for gun licensing, concealed carry permits, and host of other things. Why should the clause be interpreted differently regarding the marriage issue?

Another eye-opening statement Harris makes is this:

“In the same traditions of our founders, I am a Christian Deist…” Wait a minute…a Deist?! Isn’t that some heresy that the left is always saying our nation was founded on--one that denies the Deity of Christ and that God currently intervenes in world? Is this man a real Christian or some kind of heretic? Well, I’ll let you be the judge. He goes on to explain himself:

“Theologically I believe that Christ is the Savior of the world and exemplar to humanity. The Deist part comes in when I debate Atheists in that I must prove to them the existence of God without using the Bible because one is not allowed to prove one’s argument by reference to a source document still being argued. Philosophical Deism, NOT religious Deism, is useful here because it holds that proof of God’s existence can be found in the order of the natural world. With my Justifiable Belief in God established, I then can get back to witnessing to my Atheist and Agnostic friends in the academic community. :)”

Actually Deism is defined thusly,

Deism - a movement characterized by the following beliefs:

1. The world was created by an intelligent Creator.

2. Knowledge of the Creator comes through the conscience and reasoning (Romans 2:11-15).

3. Organized religion is marginalized.

4. Miracles, Revelations from God, and other divine interventions tend to be marginalized.

But it should be noted that the last two are not absolute and that even Thomas Jefferson believed in both the institution of the church and divine intervention.
