Ron Paul: Punch line or knock-out punch?

Politicians, take notice. The American people actually do care about freedom. The more you scoff and snicker at grass-roots movements in support of candidates who favor limited government and individual rights and liberties, the more you cause those people who didn’t care to take an interest.

So keep mocking Ron Paul. Keep belittling the middle class. Keep up your classless, ignorant, high-and-mighty antics. You are waking a sleeping dragon. Above all, we Americans value our Constitution. Every move you’ve made recently has been to undermine our rights and individual freedoms. You thought you had us right where you wanted us. You thought you could just buy us off with your bloated government programs, handouts and entitlement programs. You thought you were done with us. Well, we are done with you.

A peaceful revolution is taking hold across America. You’d better make other plans for your future because your days of aristocracy are over. The voters are beginning to remember who really holds the power in this country, and we are taking our Republic back.

We are tired of party-manufactured dogma, absence of intelligent debate, and utter disregard for the financial burden that the middle class of this country is being forced to bear. We are noticing how you are voting and how you are behaving. As you smugly dictate your agenda to us, we are fully aware and we will remember when it comes time to pull the lever.

Your earmarks disgust us. Your waste is repugnant. Your willfully indignant attitude toward our feedback and opinions is utterly reprehensible.

Don’t forget, you work for us. You will be getting your pink slip any day now.

Can YouTube be filtered?

Is it possible to tell YouTube that you don’t want to see any soccer or F-1 racing clips? If not, it should be. This would filter over 50% of the ridiculousness.

Unions and Politics

I like to think that I am unaffected by these ridiculously early campaign stump speeches and straw polls, but sometimes I just can’t help but watch. Train wrecks and all that…

Over the Labor Day weekend, Hillary was wooing the union labor vote.

I find the liberal stance on border control (they want open borders) and illegal immigration (they want to ignore it) to be quite at odds with what union laborers generally want. Now, of course union laborers also want handouts from anywhere they can get them, but how does letting millions of illegals pour across the border help the typical blue-collar union laborer? Answer: it clearly does not. Millions of illegals taking jobs from lower middle class Americans undercuts the blue collar wages. Illegals also tend to be non-union workers. Unorganized labor doesn’t contribute dues to the labor unions.

I can’t say that I care about the survival of labor unions anyway. Unions are not about equality. Maybe they were at one time, but now they’re about selfishness and consumer exploitation. In a way, union labor is a microcosm of what’s happening with our federal government: power to the aristocracy and screws to you. Unions pay their dues like lemmings while policy is dictated to them from on high. The upper crust has little concern for the everyday plight of the middle class, or they would give unions the tough love they need to survive.

I just find it ironic that unions will back liberal candidates in elections, yet liberals have an agenda of empowering government — the most anti-union agenda one could have.
