Rising Energy Prices and the Falling Dollar
Representative Ron Paul (Presidential Candidate) - TX.
Texas Straight Talk Newsletter
Oil prices are on the minds of many Americans as gas hits $4 a gallon, and continues to surge. How high can prices go? How can we solve these problems? What, or who, is to blame?
Part of the answer lies in understanding bubbles and monetary inflation, but especially the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve is charged with controlling inflation through interest rate manipulation, however, many fail to realize that creating money, and therefore inflation, is really its only tool.
If the Fed continues with its bubble blowing policies of the past, the new commodities bubble will continue to grow, gas prices will continue to go up, as the value of your dollars go down. We will see an overinvestment in these commodities as solutions are desperately sought for a supply shortage, which is only part of the problem. Make no mistake, though, this is not the free market at work. Government manipulations have added levels of complication and unintended consequences to the marketplace.

MCCAIN JOINS GLOBAL WARMING CULT
By Cal Thomas
In an effort to win over those “moderates” who believe that global warming is about to destroy the planet, Republican presidential candidate John McCain spoke Monday at a Portland, Ore., training facility for Vestas Wind Technology. He claimed, “The facts of global warming demand our urgent attention, especially in Washington.”
There certainly is more “hot air” on this and a lot of other subjects in Washington, but that isn’t what he meant. The era of big government is so not over, as Bill Clinton claimed it was in 1996.

Our Military Need Real Support, Not Empty Rhetoric
By Chuck Baldwin | Constitution Party Presidential Nominee
As we approach Memorial Day, we can anticipate the usual speeches and photo stunts from various and sundry politicos, each of them touting their heartfelt "support" for America's men and women in uniform. I submit that much of this political grandstanding is merely empty rhetoric.
Most of us probably recall that former Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger is quoted as having said that soldiers are just "dumb,
stupid animals to be used" as pawns by the political and commercial
elite. Obviously, even the most anti-military Democrat would never be so brazen as to say what Kissinger said.

McCain Rebuffs Dobson: Will Evangelicals Bolt?
By: Phil Brennan Sen. John McCain's campaign has so far turned a deaf ear to invitations to meet with politically powerful evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson at his Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo., raising the possibility that the nation's sizable evangelical bloc will sit out the presidential race in November.
The move would all but assure the election of Sen. Barack Obama, columnist Robert Novak argues in a recent column.
Noting that Dobson has indicated he can't support McCain for president, Novak writes that Dobson's opposition to McCain "reflects continued resistance to the prospective presidential nominee among Christian conservatives who are unhappy with McCain's current positions on stem-cell research, immigration and global warming, not to mention his past sponsorship of campaign-finance reform."

Three Peas in a Pod
By Chuck Baldwin, | Constitution Party Candidate for President of the US.
"I realize that is extremely difficult for some people to think outside the box. The vast majority of people are prone to be followers, to "go with the flow," to follow the path of least resistance. This appears to be the nature of human nature.
Therefore, I think I understand the reasoning of many who are so reluctant to step outside the two major parties and vote for a third party candidate. I seem to recall that I, too, was just as hesitant (though not for nearly as long as some people) as they are.
We have all heard it before: He doesn't stand a chance; it's a wasted vote; we must work within the party to make it better, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Now, I will be the first to admit that the deck is stacked against an independent candidate succeeding at any political level. The two dominant parties do not like competition. And they have made it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for third parties to have a fighting chance to prevail."

Today's Christian Leadership needs revival
I hate to chide supposedly one of our own, but Pat Robertson's kooky politics is enough to call him out on his hypocracies.
He runs a segiment on how some gay millionaire is funding state politics around the nation, yet Pat was the one who came out for homosexual supporting presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, at a time when there were still 8 candidates closer to the values we share as Christians, at Pat's endorsement of Rudy.
At the end of the segiment Pat explains no one in the Christian community is combatting this activist.
Hey Pat,... It doesn't help our cause when the Christian Leadership in America (that's you Pat) supports the most liberal gay and abortion supporting Republican right off the bat, and you wonder where Christians are on this subject. We were kind of puzzled where you stood then.
With Christian leaders like yourself being wishy washy on certain issues why would the majority of "freed-thinking" Christians follow leaders so confused.

We need leaders who we can look up to and have the consistency in their political views, with that of the values our Savior, Jesus Christ.
No leaders whatsoever have I found amongst the elitist of the Evangelical Christian community, who have the wisdom or courage to endorse the right candidate in this presidential election of 2008.

GOP cheats Ron Paul activists into submission
This is why the GOP is becoming like the Democrats, in the sense they will play dirty to remain in power.
Where is the party for the people still left with morals?
We don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils, like the media would encourage us to do.

John McCain is No Hero
I have never in my long life seen propaganda as blatant and untrue as the ceaseless barrage of lies proclaiming John McCain as a hero. Nothing could be farther from the truth. As McCain emerged as a candidate, ABC made-a-for-TV movie portraying him as a hero who endured torture and prevailed. About the only thing in that movie that was the truth is that they got his name right. While a POW, his propaganda broadcasts were frequently heard on Radio Hanoi. By his own admission, when he was pulled from the lake in downtown Hanoi, badly hurt, the first thing he did was to identify himself as the son of Admiral McCain,...Read More

Taxation Again
By Tibor R. Machan - Co-Founder, Reason Magazine
Instead of all the mud slinging between Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, wouldn’t it be refreshing to have them engage in some serious political discussion? Since April 15 is nearly upon us, many American citizens might appreciate some in-depth exploration of the nature of taxation. The federal income tax, in particular, would deserve thoughtful examination. Senator John McCain could also enter the fray, me thinks.

Alaska Converts McCain Delegates to Ron Paul

On Money, Inflation and Government
by Ron Paul
These past few weeks have provided an unfortunate opportunity to discuss inflation. The dollar index has reached new all-time lows. The total money supply, M3, as calculated by private sources, is growing at a disturbing 17% rate. The Fed is pumping dollars into the economy at an alarming rate. Just recently the Fed announced new loan auctions totaling $100 billion. That is new money created from thin air. If these money auctions, combined with the bailout of Bear Stearns, continue to be the trend, we are in for some economic stormy weather. The explanation lies in understanding the basics of money, and why it is dangerous to give government and big banks control over it.
First, money is not wealth, in and of itself. You cannot create more wealth simply by creating more money. Wall Street bankers cry out for more liquidity, but what is really needed is more value behind the dollar. But the value, unfortunately, isn't there.
