Canadian Election 2008

Tuesday Canada held their elections! The results were not encouraging on the Libertarian front. The Conservatives did manage to hold on to their majority in the Parliament. I think the best news in the election is that the NDP only won 37 seats. The NDP is the completely Socialist party of Canada. The Conservative Party won 144 seats, taking the slim majority. The Liberals took 74 seats, the Bloq Quebecois won 50 seats, with 3 seats falling under the "other" category. The Libertarian Political movement is significant because Libertarian voters and party members also embrace the Libertarian ideology. I hope in the future we will see a great colaboration among the world's Libertarian Parties. Because Libertarianism is an ideology not just a political platform. Hopefully we can encourage our Libertarian friends in Canada to keep up the good fight!

Nationalization of Banking

I'm sure by now you have heard that President Bush is taking $250 Billion of your dollars and buying shares in the largest banks in the US. Nine banks in all will now be owned to some degree by the US government. I hate to beat the same drum constantly, but I must say that this is a major step towards socialism. This country has officially entered into corporatism, which is not good. It's a definite sign we are heading towards socialism/fascism. America as we know it is changing and not for the better. 90% of Americans think this country is heading in the wrong direction. I'm sick of saying this but Obama and McCain have no answers, no solutions. This latest move on the part of the Bush administration, and the Feds is going to damn this country! Remeber we are 9 trillion in debt and the last 6 months we have spent nearly 1.5 trillion to "bailout" the economy.

The one other thing I want to address is what happened to Freedom of business in country? What happened to America? The core value of freedom in business is that one has freedom. Freedom to become the next Microsoft or freedom to fall flat on one's face. Bush, the cronies in Washington, and the fools at the Federal Reserve say we have to take the bailout position to save the "free market"! Here's the thing folks, it ain't capitalism if you can't fail. This country is far from Laissez-faire Capitalism!

The Republic of America

I want to talk about this but I have not been sure how to hit these talking points without sounding like a radical. I don't think I can talk on this subject without sounding radical. The US government has become a socialist democracy, a police state, a country with a $10 trillion debt, and utter lack of leadership. Many ignorant Americans would balk at the claim that the United States is a fascist like police state. Lets review a few act passed in Congress over the last 5 years that closely resemble Nazi police state laws.
HR 3162. -"Patriot Act"
"Patriot Act 2" - A renewel and extension of powers granted the Federal government by original Patriot Act.
FISA.- Allows domestic wiretapping and surveillance without probable cause.
John Warner Defense Authorization Act- Allows President to declare a public emergency anywhere in America and establish martial law without the consent of the govenor or local authorities to "suppress public disorder".
Homegrown Terrorism and Radicalization Act- Passed overwhelmingly by Congress on October 23, 2007, is now awaiting a Senate vote. This act will beget a new crackdown on dissent and the Constitutional rights of American citizens. The definitions of “terrorism” and “extremism” are so vague that they could be used to generalize against any group that is working against the policies of the Administration. In this bill, “violent radicalization” criminalizes thought and ideology while “homegrown terrorism” is defined as “the planed use of force to coerce the government.” The term, “force” could encompass political activities such as protests, marches, or any other form of non-violent resistance.
Military Commissions Act of 2006- Ends habeas corpus, the right to an attorney, and the right to court review of one’s detention and arrest. Without this most basic right, all other rights are gone too since anyone can be detained indefinitely. Now anyone may be arrested and incarcerated and nobody would know
NSPD 51- A directive signed by George W. Bush on May 9, 2007, that allows the President to declare martial law, effectively transforming the U.S. into a dictatorship with no checks and balances from the Legislative or Judicial Branches. Parts of this directive are considered classified and members of Congress have been denied the right to review it

The US has two major political parties: The Republicans= Fascist
Photobucket
and the Democrats=Socialist;Marxist Photobucket

Between the mixture the US has become the Empirical Socialist Democratic Polic State of the World. We have the worst of both worlds. Big Brother is everywhere and we will only see him get stronger the next 8 years. I for one no longer want to be considered a citizen of this government or Empire.

What I suggest we do is follow the same steps the Irish did to gain their independence.... "We the People" declare ourselves independent, a Libertarian Republic, a government ruled by strict laws via a Constitution, a nation where civil liberties above all else is the sole concern of the population. Low taxes, nationalist yet opposed to Empire fascism, but also opposed to the New World Order.

The US Constitution in Article IV. Sec. 4 states the US is a Republic not a Democracy as the ignorant politicians of today claim. This form of government is where we need to return. Just some rambling but I think this needs to be the aim of the Liberty movement in America!

Frustrated

Recently I have been extremely depressed concerning the Political scene in the US. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I have been so frustrated I felt if I posted it would only contain anger and outrage! I wanted to post tonight a link to a blog posted by the Barr campaign just to let everyone know again why I am proud to vote for Bob Barr on November 4th!
