Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

--Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

C. Everett Koop Wrote Forward To Ron Paul's Book


Yes, Ron Paul wrote a book in 1983 entitled Abortion and Liberty where he discusses the ramifications of the heinous act of the murder of innocents. Ronald Reagan's Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop wrote the forward where he praises Paul's thoughtful position on this issue and its impact on the natural rights of men:

ForewordOne might wonder why another book on abortion. Is there anything to say except the tricky alliteration of a new slogan? Has someone found a new message? Is there a person out there with credentials no one else seems to have?The answer to that last question is: “Yes.” Ron Paul is not only a physician, but he was trained in the discipline of obstetrics and gynecology and therefore is a the front lines in the battle against abortion. This physician was then elected to Congress four times and looks back on abortion as a problem he saw in biomedical ethics as a student, then as a resident and finally as a practitioner of obstetrics.The fresh insights that Ron Paul, the physician, brings to the question of abortion stem from the experience he developed as a Member of Congress, as he contemplated the relationship between natural rights and a free society.It is true that some of the old arguments about rights, viability, mother versus child, child abuse, health of the mother, and rape are considered in these pages. There is much more. The unique contribution found in this book is the examination of a free society in reference to that society’s responsibilities. Perhaps another way of stating it is that there is an examination of the child’s rights versus the mother’s obligations.The concluding warning is clear: a disregard for human life will not expand human freedom.The individual rights we all cherish are rooted in the value we assign to human life, especially innocent human life. The author’s credentials are unique and so is his approach to the diverse social problem abortion has become in our day.C.Everett Koop, M.D., Sc.D. 5 
Make a note of this, people. Unbelievers are watching Christians like thieves right now, many of them are supporting Dr. Paul in spite of being pro-choice. They see a lot of hypocrisy in professing Christians who talk and talk about being pro-life for little unborn babies, but don't bat an eye when a child in Pakistan is blown to bits by a US drone. They don't even care what unseen hands are guiding our foreign policy to do such things, having turned to idolatry and man-worship to store their trust in. I see a huge potential for soul-winning here, but too many "Christians" are enjoying their 10 minute hate sessions to see it.

I Demand Justice - My Rights Have Been Denied


I didn't know how truly oppressed I was until I came across this wonderful American Thinker post about us 55% percent of Americans who sadly are not willing to own a gun, or in my case, cannot afford to do so. Mr. Fritsch has it all figured out. Following the wisdom of our Deemocratic overlords, he models his new entitlement after our brilliant health care reform legislation, which has been carefully crafted by the best legal minds.

From the gun-ownership enfranchisement proposal:
For those that can't afford it, a grant or subsidy to purchase a weapon (union members can get two weapons subsidized before 2018)
Question: How much are we talking about? Can I get a big, honking machine gun because I'm not really a good shot. If not, I would prefer a small, lady-like weapon that would fit it my purse. Thank you federal government!

(I know I should be in the 45%, but as of right now, I haven't been able to secure the knives around here. *looks behind back warily* The second amendment will still be there when they get a little older and I incorporate marksmanship into our homeschool program. Some of you say it won't given the recent events, but there are a lot more of us in the 55% than there are of them in the 45% IYKWIMAITYD.

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824.
