Forget the presidential debates, the real action is between historian Tom Woods (PhD Havard) and ex-lawyer Mark "the great one" Levin.

The folks all give props to Ron Paul - now they don't necessarily support him all the time. But show me any other candidate from any other party that could get such a diverse group of people agreeing with him on some level?
It's an incredible mish mash of liberals, conservatives, evangelicals, atheists, kooks, Insiders, outsiders, in short a huge cross-section of that incredibly diverse land known as America.
This video was a group effort by the enthusiastic Constitution fans at the Daily Paul.

Wall Street and FDR: Chapter 3
Profiting From German Tears
One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the [1923] inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.

The Answer to Racism - Liberty
Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.
My Reply to Typical Conservative News listener:
Something just got a hold of me this morning and I couldn't hold back!
On the Smart Girl Politics site:
First, the post The Right Scoop.com (a Conservative web site) reported today that Ron Paul recently said that America is provoking Iran in a speech recently. Hot Air.com (a Conservative web site) showed Ron Paul's newsletters from the 1980s and 1990s which contained race-baiting comments such as describing black men as criminals as well as theories about Zionist conspiracies. It read like something out of Occupy Wal Street. Many of Paul's high profile supporters are Confederates and do not like Abraham Lincoln because he held the country together. It is easy to google. This stuff is to the left of Obama. Whith friends like that who needs enemies?

Truth Hurts
(warning: a rant-like post wherein I don't backlink )
Just to post some of my casual observations about what is going on. I can't help but notice that many bloggers don't take advantage of the resources of the internet to learn anything new, but seem to just grab what's on the news cycle and comment on it. Meanwhile, many conservative bloggers mock about how bias the mainstream media is all the while spending their time posting on what this same media is determining as newsworthy. In this way, the mainstream media is controlling the narrative of a good section of the blogosphere.
I am finding myself on a real voyage of discovery through the forgotten tomes of the progressive years of yore. It's so exciting I can't understand why everyone isn't retro-blogging the last 100 years. It makes everything make sense. However, it can at the same time be very painful.
When I started to wonder what in the world was our military doing overseas, I started to do my own research. The conservative narrative that I had so dutifully memorized did not pass my Founder's test. That's where I test my knowledge of current events by pretending to explain this to one of the Signers of the Declaration. If I can't, then I consider myself uninformed and set out to read up on it. I came to that point with the Iraq war stuff, after a few years of getting mad at the media for being so hostile to "the mission." I really believed we would find those WMDs - I was really trying hard "to stay the course". So at the used bookstore, I see this copy of the book Blackwater by Jeremy Scahill. I had heard that the liberals were giving Blackwater a hard time and I had heard something about contractors taking over a lot of military so I decide to pick it up. I see that the guy is a contributor to The Nation, which I know is a liberal outfit, but thumbing through the book, I see a lot of footnotes for me to check out. I'm also hoping that this book could clue me in to what in the world is going on over there as I'm not getting a straight story from my conservative outlets, which I had been depending on to give me real news. That was a mistake.
I'll have to do a post on that book sometime because it really changed my thinking. Yes Jeremy Scahill is a lib, but you know what? He wrote a darn good book, and I give credit where its due. I didn't care for his linking radical right Christianity to these war profiteers, because I had been trained to label myself that way. But as I read on, I found that these people didn't follow the same Jesus I did AT ALL. They were professing Christ, but were not being a real witness for Him. Remember the scariest words in the English language:
We've learned that central bankers and those attached to central banking through government contracts have a vested interest in expanding government. They also have an interest in making sure that the general population remains largely ignorant of their mechanizations, thus they had an interest in forming the public school system to their specifications. Their specifications involved a revisionist American history and outright social engineering planned by the foremost psychologists of the day. These big money men financed communism and kept it afloat throughout the 20th century, all the while posing as both anti-communists and progressive liberals. These same persons gained effective control of the State Department and would customize the United State's foreign policy to the order of the monopolists. The monied interests most lucrative endeavor was and always has been war. When they go to war, both sides go into debt, debt which is owed to them at interest. To the central bankers, war is the perpetual money machine. So it is true that the love of money really is the root of all evil. We've learned that the banksters tax-exempt foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie) have been used to advocate abortion, eugenics, feminism, La Raza, homosexuality and all of the domestic social problems we have today. These were "designed" to break down the family, the core unit of a civilized society.
What gets me is that a lot of conservatives will listen intently to this information for about five minutes, agree with it, and then go back to the mainstream media's hamster wheel of 7th grade politics wherein each side calls each other names.Or they'll try to force into their paradigm of "it's all the liberal's fault". The amount of evidence that our nation has been overrun for decades by a group of well-connected monied interests hell-bent on shredding the Constitution is legion, but if Rush or Fox News doesn't mention, I guess it doesn't really exist. However, the narratives these banksters have put out are in the process of colliding. Partisans on both sides are having an extremely hard times keeping their respective versions of reality straight. For years, I heard Rush tell that when we put US troops on the ground, we do it to win it and come home. This is Ron Paul's foreign policy, but it doesn't jive with the very expensive and lucrative war TPTB are planning for Iran, so this type of talk is forbidden. The fact that Iran is going to be one of the last geopolitical pivots to fall in The Grand Chessboard scheme is also not inconsequential. There is definitely a demonic drive to control this region, which I mentioned in a earlier post. So anyway, they've got their talking points on that, and there is no skepticism from those on the right who are skeptical about everything else the press tells them, because the press would never lie to them about needing to bomb a foreign country.
The truth hurts. It's painful to admit you've been had. It's painful to admit that your government no longer represents you. It's downright scary to think that the Federal Reserve controls the military for its own ends. Especially when you consider how much foreign money is involved. Where are the loyalties? I've known people who've defended child molesters because they had invested so much trust in them and couldn't handle the reality of the misplaced trust. Similarly, many conservatives can't face up to the reality that the United States Defense Department is a mule for those monied interests seeking a one-world socialist state. It's just too much for some of them to handle. I know I spent a day or two crying over this because it was so painful to process. Praise God my hope is not in this lost and dying world. But I like to know where I stand and to know what is going on around me so that I might not be hoodwinked or fooled into supporting something that is just more statism in disguise.
So to be clear, I'm not under any illusions about this sinful world being fixable by mortal man, but I am convicted about being a witness to it. Let your light so shine before men. If Christians don't speak out about corruption, then what kind of witness is that to the lost? If we act like we're A-ok (and buddy are a lot of 'em going to be shocked to find their name not on the list) and are dismissive of the natural rights of others. If we act like its hunky dory for the Bill of Rights to end at our shores and admit that government gives us our rights and not God, how sad is that? One of my favorite cinematic moments is in the movie, Once Upon a Time in China, where the hero begs for just one person to step up and speak out as a witness to the oppression the village was under. No one does, and then the Christian missionary steps up and says, "I will speak; I will be a witness". Of course the tyrant shot him before he could say anything, but how loudly did his courage speak to the villagers --how brightly did his Light shine before men?
(I'm working on my next FDR post, but it's taking a long time for me to really study this as it's pretty complicated and I want to write it in such a way as to make it understandable and not seven pages long!)

Remember the scariest words in the English language:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.As I began to investigate who really determines the foreign policy in our country, I began to realize some sickening truths. The communists are in charge of the entire Defense Department. I got that feeling you get when you realize this is akin to the ending of a suspense movie. The partner finds the files that cinches the whole case, just then he hears a hammer being cocked back. All at once, he realizes his partner's been working for the other side. Similarly, we're told the military fights for our freedoms, which sounds well and good, until you wake up one day and find you have no freedom left. Getting back to the communist claim -which I admit is pretty intense, well, just look at all the research I've done on this site to date. What have we learned?
