People Don't Kill People, Buckets Kill People

Home Depot - Baby Killer?

Regulated by:
The Department of Pools, Spas and Water

It's absolutely intolerable that the Obama administration is
ignoring this horrible threat to the life and safety of American
children that looms above us every day.

Buckets alone kill far more children than firearms.

Of course, we must move towards banning all private
swimming poools, since they kill even more children.

But American is not ready for that, so we must move
more slowly there.

We need to have mandatory swimming pool and
spa licensing and registration.

Pool and spa classes.
A waiting period for prospective pool and spa owners.
And a very strict licensing process for pool and spa
dealers and contractors.

Finally, to stimulate the economy, we need to create
a new Federal Department. The Department of Pools,
Spas and Water.

This will also be good for the environment. As you know
there is a horrible international drought and water shortage
CRISIS.

Greedy Republicans and Libertarians who use more
than their fair share of water must be reined in.

Founding Fathers or Funding Fathers? - Why the Bailout is NO Emergency.

Founding Fathers or Funding Fathers?
Why the Bailout is NO Emergency.

I've been dreaming of the day when Democrats would
scream 'the sky is falling' and no one would listen.

Or at the very least, no one would believe them.

No, let's make that any politician, including
Republicans and even my own Libertarians.

And here we have it, where each day Nancy Pelosi
screams more loudly and more desperately about
what an emergency we have on our hands.

Make no mistake.
DC, we have a problem.

But it's not an emergency.

The emergency passed long ago, say during the
Clinton and Bush administrations, when the
watchdogs allowed Barney Frank and Barak
Hussein Obama to give and take financial favors,
and ignore fundamental economic principles
that lead us to where we are.

The GOP, so desperate to be 'kind and gentle'
mildly and meekly made a few demurring
statements about the problems, but put up
nary a fight, much less a protest.

And, despite my differences with Congressman
Ron Paul about Foreign Policy, here he is, right
about the big picture again.

And what did the wise old Paul tell us all
along, again and again?

He stated the obvious: We can't fight a war
or defend ourself if we're broke.

There is a tiny glimmer of hope in Congress,
finally. Now that the Republicans are in the
minority again, they standing against big
government spending. (Who knows why they
must be in the minority opposition to do so?)

And we're broke, people!
B-R-O-K-E

Our national debt exceeds the entire net worth
of every American, COMBINED, I'm told.

That's the very definition of being broke.

When you owe more money than you're worth.
And we are REALLY broke, because we are going
further and faster in the hole than ever before.
Fortunately, it seems that America is waking up.
America is against the so-called 'bailout'. Obama
and the Democrats realize that, and that's their
real hurry, where their emergency lies.

Because, it's their emergency, not ours.

There's another reason for the hurry.

Democrats know if they don't get this passed in
a hurry and they don't get their mitts on this
money, OUR money, and fast, they just might
not, because America, even on the liberal
coasts, is against this.

They want your money,

and they want it now.

They finally have an excuse to fund the social
engineering programs they have been dreaming
of for generations. Yes, the Marxists are here,
and they are not your friends.

And finally: They want someone to blame.

This is a delicate balancing act.

The Democrats and their leader Obama don't
know if the economy will pull out on their
watch or not. They don't really care, either.

But what they DO want is a scapegoat.
If they can't get this passed, and things don't
get better, they can blame it on us for not
letting them have the money to 'stimulate'.

As for me?

I prefer to keep the money right where it is now.

In your pocket and mine.

In the bank accounts and retirement funds
of the good Americans that earned it.

There is NO rush.
Take your time.

The longer it takes to pass this bill, the more time
America has to wake up and come out against it.

Giuliani Fails Libertarian Test - Libertarian is as Libertarian Does

Certainly, Libertarians are going to disagree on some
issues, as well as strategies.

Some Libertarians, like me, would call Tom McClintock
and President Reagan Libertarians.

On the other hand, there are Libertarians who would,
and have, said otherwise. These same people just
can't accept incremental progress, nor vote for the
better of two candidates.

That they are willing to overlook where they disagree
with Ron Paul, is hopefully a sign of maturation
within the LP and the freedom movement.

As far as Rudy, I am happy he's working with
some very good libertarians, and has given every
indication that he'll include some excellent people
in his cabinet, should he be elected.

But, on the question of Rudy's libertarian credentials,
I can't go along, no way, no how.

Rudy is better than almost any Democrat, sure.
But that's not the question being raised.

I don't personally believe Rudy is committed to
less government. In fact, quite the opposite.
He seems committed to being 'in charge'.

When you listen to Mitt Romney, at least he
makes the case for less government and more
individual choice.

.

Libertarian is as Libertarian does.
Rudy is a gun banner, he's for more rules
on Business and Wall Street. And Rudy,
like the Clintons, believes strongly he
knows what's best for you and I.

When he was in office, he did get some
good results, and I'm interested in
learning from his methodology.

New York City certainly benefited overall
from his leadership, but there were many
mistakes and abuses of power along the
way, and this tells us how he would
behave as President.

While Huckabee in no way is committed
to freedom, in the way we Libertarians
envision it, at least he's consistent and
straightforward.

No matter how loudly Mister Rittberg
beats the Rudy drum, Ron Paul is far
more Libertarian than Giuliani.

And, among those in double digits,
only Mitt Romney has legislated in
anything that could be described as
a Libertarian fashion.

Just like with the Islamic terrorists
who would attack us, all we need do

is listen to the words of the
Candidates and watch their
behavior in office and their
personal lives.

Ron Paul has the highest level of
consistency, ethics and legislative
record as a Congressman. As well,
his personal life is unquestionably
likewise squeaky clean.

These things matter to me.
They matter to most Libertarians.
And, they matter to America.

That's why Ron Paul has a shot,
longshot though it may be.

For Libertarians, Ron Paul has to be
the number one Republican choice,
with Romney the only other even
worth considering.

(Tom Tancredo is good too, but off
the radar in polling and funds...)

The voters of America are quite
practical, and won't vote for someone
they don't trust, or that they don't
think can win.

As more and more information
about Rudy's past comes out, it's
looking like it will be hard for America

to trust him.

And so, we have Ron Paul as the

only major party choice worth

real consideration.
