Why da yoof luv Barack

Free (or cheap) college!
You think "Hellya! Eye Ken lerned reel gud!"
Who's going to pay for it? Taxpayers.
"Dud, jus, like...print money"
Like I said, damn it, taxpayers. Printing money=inflation. Inflation=idirect taxation!
"Hold yer horses, bucko! The government could set prices!"
Yes, we need far more government intervention. They are, truly, looking out for you. So, in conclusion:
1. It'll be paid for via direct taxation
2. It'll be paid for via indirect taxation
3. The college your dumb rear end will just become another community college.
Go Barack, go! Steal money! Counterfeit! Make Americans even dumber! But Everyone will cheer as America burns. Free money for you! Free college! Gotta get that edumacation in a college that I got in because I memorized a bunch of words that I forgot already! GOD BLESS THE SAT!!!!11

Traditional Conservatism: Altar and Throne

I firmly believe that Altar and Throne governments are better than any other forms. The Cult of Liberty stands in direct defiance of this, and is always self-destructive. I hear people quote Ben Franklin imploring us to never give up liberty for safety. The ideas of liberty were new then. Perhaps early American liberty actually worked for a while, but French liberty degraded to bloodshed and hatred.
We must not give up liberty for protection and safety, but we shouldn't give up the Altar and Throne for liberty.
American liberty died during Lincoln's presidency, and quite possibly before then. Soon, protecting it became the reason the government should expand. One can't have liberty if they're poor, uninsured, jobless, etc. The very thing that was supposed to limit government made it expand.
Altar and Throne politics never did this. The state never expanded to a monsterous size to protect it.
I think it's the best position since the Church exists for two reasons. First and most important, the spiritual. The Church is in charge of the Salvation of Souls. Second, the secular. The Church has a power to limit government. I don't think it's a coincidence that France became dictatorial and violent after the French Revolution. It's certainly not a coincidence that dictators rose after the Papal States were destroyed. The 20th century was the Church's weakest period since She was persecuted in Rome. Communism and Fascism rose because the Church was not in place to keep a check on government powers.
Kings are rulers of their state, but they are all part of the "Kingdom of Christiandom" ruled by Christ the King.
There are three other forms Altar and Throne politics can morph into: Throne and Altar, Throne, and Altar.
Although I admire him quite a lot, Louis XIV tried to make France a Throne and Altar state. The king was above the Church. He led France out of the realm of Christiandom by allying with the Ottoman Turks. Modern day protestants try to make America into a similar state, although their government will be astronomically larger than the "absolute monarch." What this form ultimately does is divinize the state and/or the ruler.
America and most other Republics are Throne states. The Altar is completely out of the picture. As I've mentioned, America did fairly well but fell into tyranny. Without the Church, the State can grow into a parasite. It sucks away life and freedom from the host (the people). Like Throne and Altar, the state becomes divinized. Unlike it, though, it's a secular church with no checks and balance from an outside faith. They'll petition religioud leaders to support their endeavors but know that patriotism runs deeper than faith in most people.
Altar governments are the most dangerous. The ruler, state, policies, and laws are divine. People turn a blind eye to corruption because the rulers are either gods or prophets of a god.
And yet I upport Ron Paul who talks about liberty and the constitution. Why is this? Well, in the 18th century we would be opposed to eachother (I am an economic anarchist though). Like I said in my last blog post though, we are allied against the enemy-the Neocons. We both believe in limiting the power of the state. We both believe in peace. We just disagree on the way to keep it.
Nonetheless, he is the best candidate I've seen. I am proud that I voted for him and would do it again and again. I consider the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party my allies and would vote for one if I like them.

FU Frank---I, the Traditional Conservative, Voted for Ron Paul, the Classical Liberal

Got back not too long ago. I also saw Frank Luntz say on Fox that he didn't want to admit that he ate in a Denny's. Never been to one, but do I ever want to go! So take that you elitist snob. Some of us really do like pancakes and sausage.
Anyway, like I said, it's over for me. Had a hard time finding the Republican row. I also got ticked off by the people running the election. No, they didn't give me a hard time. They just don't listen. I told them how to pronounce my name and how to spell it. First they misspell it, then they mispronounce it. They also asked me if I was a Republican a few times. I'm hoping they forgot and it isn't some sort of security check QUICK WHAT'S YOUR MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME?
Now I can contemplate which party I'm going to switch to. Maybe I'll be more traditional and switch to a third party. Maybe I'll write down "Monarchist." If Ron actually does win, I'll stay with the RP (Ron Paul...RP...Republican Party...RP?!).
You know the world is messed up when a traditional Conservative (Monarchist/Altar and Throne) greatly supports a Classical Liberal (Pro-Constitution). We do have a common enemy and may be allies for a long time. Down with the Neo-Jacobin Neocons! Vive le Christ-Roi! Vive Louis XX! Long live Ron Paul!
P.S. Giuliani was still on the ballot. Who wants to bet a lot of dopes are going to vote for him?

Univision Debate

Transcript
They had an english translation on CC3...the TV downstairs only goes up to CC2. I tried to translate the closed captions the best I could. I gave up after I said "Okay, he said something about illegal immigrants, pedophiles, and coca cola."
Anyway, there's the transcript. I'll be looking through it later, but at Lew Rockwell's site they're saying Ron Paull was the only one to tell it like it is.

The ultimate wrestling match

The sound of horses marching with drums and fifes playing in the background

Lillian Garcia-Introducing, from the United States of America, The Freetarian, Citizen X, and Ron "The Champion of the Constitution" Paul!

Crowd cheers very loudly. Ron Paul Revolution signs wave about in the audience. The freedom living trio pose in the middle of the ring; tens of thousands of cameras flash

Battle Hymn of the Republic plays

Lillian Garcia-And coming down to the ring, from America, Woooo, Old Meme, and Mike "Taxes, War, and Weightloss" Huckabee!

Mainly nostalgic Ric Flair fans and young DBZ haired fans cheer, though there's a few pops for Huckabee. Mainly from former fatties. Ric Flair lets out a monster "wooooo" while Chuck and Mike tell jokes from his campaign commercial.

Ric-You jitterbuggin' leg tuggin' rooty tootin' 453 pound loosin' fellas know that Chuck Norris facts are, in fact, not real facts
Huckster-So?

and Freetarian comes from nowhere to tell them the true meaning of Christmas...err, the point.

Freetarian-Well, it means that everything Chuck says about you isn't true.
J.R-BAH GAWD KING WHADDAYA THINK THEY'RE TALKIN' ABOUT? KING?
Lillian Garcia-Well, Jerry had to have toe surgery. We got the Burger King King instead. He doesn't talk though.
J.R.-WELL MAYBE THEY'RE TALKIN' 'BOUT MY BARBERQUE SAUSE!

Citizen X and Chuck face off.

J.R.-Will Chuck whip him like a Govuhmint Mule?
Chuck-You know what's under my beard?
Citizen X-Do I have to call the cops on you?
Chuck-That's not funny. This is though---it's another fist

Chuck stares at him, straining to grow another fist out of his chin

J.R.-BAH GAWD HE'S GUNNA SOIL HIMSELF!

And he actually does. Citizen X punches Chuck in the face several times. He falls hard and a sea of Ron Paul signs go up.

J.R.-WHY, HE'S STOMPING A MUD HOLE IN HIM...sorta...eew

Citizen X tags out and the Freetarian comes in. As Chuck Norris rises from the mat, Freetarian chants "Ron Paul Revolution" which starts an audience chant.

Freetarian-Hellllllooooooo Freedom!
Chuck-Hello security!

As Freetarian and Chuck exchange blows, they yell quotes at eachother. Ric Flair, being the dirtiest fighter since Chuck Norris' accident, jumps in.

Ric-Let terrorists blow up my WTC, will ya?

Ric charges at the Freetarian with an iron fist. Cold iron meets the libertarian's skull with such force that the internet started making Flair jokes. Citizen X climbs up the top turnbuckle and smacks Flair with the invisible hand of libertarianism. Flair is confused and flees. Citizen X follows him throughout the arena and eventually into a Subway restaurant. Flair hides in the bathroom with a turkey sandwitch. Citizen X buys a delicious meatball sandwitch on white bread with american cheese and eats it while waiting for Flair.
The Freetarian is put on a stretcher. Ron Paul approaches to see if he's okay.

Freetarian-Ron, they may have got me, but you're the last hope for freedom. They won't get you!
Ron-Freetarian, God speed, and long live the constitution!
J.R.-King, it's a handicap match!

Burger King senses that Ron Paul is hungry and he sneaks up, a la Sneak King. He is refreshed and ready to fight. Ron pulls out a mini-constitution and smacks Chuck's leg off. It lands into the hand of a kid with aspergers. He promptly kills himself because he's so happy. Another asperger kid picks it up to sell on e-bay.

J.R.-Huckabee wants Ron Paul disqualified for using a weapon. It's not like he used my wife's cooking, God rest her soul!
Fan-Jim...isn't your wife still alive?
J.R.-BAH GAWD IF ANYONE ASKS I WAS WITH YOU ALL DAY!
Fan-Cool.
J.R.-The ref said that the constitution is not an illegal weapon!

Ron Paul hits Chuck again. This time his beard flew away. Ron pinned him

Chuck-I don't kick out, I kick up!

Obviously, Chuck couldn't grow a leg from his chest and he lost. The Ron Paul legion screamed with glee and waved their signs.
Huckabee sobbed with Flair in the bathroom of the Subway. He had a turkey sandwitch.
Later that night Subservient Chicken and Burger King had an epic brawl.
J.R.'s trial went well. "If the hat doesn't fit, you must aquit"



I think it's pretty awesome that Val Venis and Kane are endorsing Ron Paul. Pretty cool that Huckster has Ric, though. I bet J.R. is going to endorse Romney, but his barbeque sauce seems like a McCainite.
I wonder how many wrestlers are conservatives, or at least Republicans.

What's up with the Bishops?

Suddenly it's possible to vote for a pro-abortion candidate for grave reasons? Grave reasons like, say...Hillary vs. Rudy? The USCCB have sold out the faith yet again.

A thought about politicians

I just remembered this-
A while ago a friend said to me who I'd rather have as a president and described 3 people which amounted to a perfect one, a bad one, and somewhat lazy one.
He was stunned when I said I would't vote for the perfect one because it was obviously Hitler, and the bad one was obviously Roosevelt. The lazyish one was Churchill.
People would vote for Hitler because he was perfect. Of course, once you know history, you wouldn't vote for the perfect one because he was perfect or electible. For all you know, he'll be the next tyrant.
Of course, 90% of Americans ask "but can X really win?" Well, yeah, if people worried less about winning and more about voting for their principles.

Rallies banned at Franco's mausoleum
Paul Hamilos in Madrid
Thursday October 18, 2007
Guardian Unlimited
The basilica in which General Franco is buried will no longer be used to
hold political rallies in celebration of Spain's former dictator, according to a
new law to be voted on at the end of the month.
The foundation that runs the
Valley of the Fallen, a vast memorial to Franco topped with a giant cross
visible for miles around, will also have to provide information on "all of those
who died during the civil war and who suffered repression", not just the victims
of the republicans.
The Valley of the Fallen, in the Guadarrama valley north-west of Madrid,
remains a shrine for the small band of followers who still openly support
Franco. But if the new law is passed, they will no longer be permitted to meet
there on the anniversary of his death, when they gather to sing "Cara al Sol",
or "Face to the Sun", the anthem to Franco.
Between 1940 and 1958,
republican prisoners were forced to build the mausoleum under Franco's orders,
and the underground crypt was declared a basilica by Pope John XXIII in 1960.
The change in status of the Valley of the Fallen is one of a number of
amendments made today to the historical memory law, one of the most
controversial pieces of legislation in Spain's 30 years of democracy.
First
proposed by the Socialist government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero last year,
the law has been fiercely opposed by the conservative People's party (PP). In a
surprise move yesterday, The PP supported the amendment on Franco's mausoleum,
but continued to express their opposition to the law. The PP's general
secretary, Angel Acebes, described it as the result of a process intended to
"divide rather than unite the people of Spain".
It was also announced that
the grandchildren of those who were forced into exile, or chose to leave Spain
during the dictatorship, will be able to apply for Spanish nationality. Until
now only those whose parents were born in Spain could apply for citizenship.
According to the governing PSOE, this amendment will affect around 1 million
people, who will have a two-year period from 2009 within which to apply.
Last week it was confirmed that Spain would ban all public references to the
Franco regime, with all statues, street names and symbols associated with the
dictator to be removed. Those churches which still have plaques commemorating
Franco and the victims of his republican opponents risk losing state aid if the
refuse to remove them.
· This article was amended on Friday October 19 2007.
Pope John XXIII rather than Pope John Paul XXIII was Pope in 1960. This has been
corrected.

The song isn't to Franco, but the Falange.
Nonetheless, the communists have regained control, and it's about time there's another revolution led by another Generalissimo! Let's hope Catholicism will overcome Communism once again.

Oh dear, even more of a reason to fear Doctors

http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/apologia/vpost?id=2227180

Shame that doctors are doing that now. I don't know if it happens in New York, but it never happened to me since my mom was always in the doctor's office with me. Of course, the idiots I went to always managed to mess everything up or insult me (no, I never realized I wasn't healthy, thanks for pointing that out!), but never grilled me about my personal life. Well, there was the one lady I almost got into an argument with over whether I walk or not. Yep, folks from Manhattan walk everywhere, but you kind of have to do it too if no one in your house has a driver's license or a working car. Yet I digress.
When I was little, if someone asked me if anyone ever made me feel uncomfortable, I would have never thought about it in a sexual abuse sort of way, but in a comfort type of way. It's a bit silly to use that kind of terminology with a 13-year-old though. They know what sexual abuse is.
Is there some law that says it's illegal to own a gun? There's no reason to file a police report. If I'm blessed enough to have kids one day, and they're asked if I have a weapon, I hope they tell them I have a Star Destroyer in the garage. Of course, if I had my way, that wouldn't be a lie!
Let's just hope by the time that happens, I don't have that Chainsword I'm trying to build anymore....

The Bush Administration Are Big Babies

They don't want to play nice with a leader who's good for Russia, but they admire the man who played nice with Uncle Joe during WWII.
They're willing to attack countries that sponsor terrorism, but they don't want Turkey to defend itself against the Kurds since it would make Iraq look even more messed up.
They get angry when Chavez called Bush the devil, but it's a-ok to stick it to the Chinese by attending the Dalai Lama's Congressional Gold Metal ceremony.
It's fine and dandy for Israel to attack military installations, but if someone attacked our's, fecal matter would hit the fan.
And of course, it's awesome to hurt citizens with embargoes, but we topple a regime if they're killing their own people.
Childish? I think so.
By giving the Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal, the government is using American's tax dollars to "attack" China. What did he do to deserve the honor anyway? Tick the Chinese off? Better give Bush the Medal of Honor since he's gone beyond that and ticked the whole world off.
And why don't they want Turkey to protect it's borders? Obviously because they don't care about our own borders and don't want to seem worse than Turkey.

Ron Paul Astroturfing? And CNBC vs. Paul

Is it possible that a fake grassroots campaign is happening? Just what is astroturfing?

"Unlike genuine grassroots activism which tends to be money-poor but people-rich, astroturf campaigns are typically people-poor but cash-rich. Funded heavily by corporate largesse, they use sophisticated computer databases, telephone banks and hired organizers to rope less-informed activists into sending letters to their elected officials or engaging in other actions that create the appearance of grassroots support for their client's cause."

Okay, we're not going to use the term literally. CNBC pulled their poll because their numbers didn't match the national numbers. Was it astroturfing? Probably not since it wasn't possible to vote more than once. Remember when Hannity said it was just Paulites "spamming" the text message vote? Well, it wasn't possible to vote more than once.
Maybe the polls are a bit skewed, but that's the others' fault. What's so exciting about them? "More dead people and more government control although less than the democrats"? Only the most committed neocons can get excited about that.
Who is astroturfing? Anyone who brings in low numbers at rallies, like Fred Thompson and John McCain.

Speaking of CNBC, lookie at what I found.

"He lacks the support needed to win the GOP nomination, and would even if the media covered him as heavily as we cover Rudy Giuliani. Why? Because Paul's views--respectable, well-articulated and sincerely held as they are--are plainly out of step with the mainstream sentiment of the party he is running in."

Uh, what? His views are similar to Pat Buchanan. Yes, Pat didn't win the nomination, but he did well considering he was "out of step with the party he [was] running in". Rudy's views aren't quite mainstream if we're to believe that 25% of the party is the Christian Right. What he doesn't want to admit is that the media anoints frontrunners. Name recognition didn't matter to Mitt Romney, he was still the media's darling. And why is that? To make for good TV. Forget any sort of political bias, if the majority of the people were behind the president, they would have to report on some celebrities a lot more often! I doubt they would mind too much.
And how did he raise almost half as much as Mitt and Rudy(subtracting Mitt's own "donation" to himself)? Sure, there's a number of non-Republicans donating, but who's to say they're not going to join and stay like I will if Dr. Paul wins?
There are plenty of ex-Republicans, and those people are the ones who share Ron Paul's views. Most Libertarians are ex-Republicans too. He may not be a neocon, but if the GOP wasn't taken over by the Neocons, CNBC would need a new excuse.

Rudy has the Catholic vote?

Eighty years ago, Rudy would have been flogged with bats and chains. Now he's leading in the Catholic votes. So long Culture of Life!
Oh well, let's fight for the Reign of Christ the King and against these virtual apostates. Of course, pro-lifers want the federal government to outlaw abortion. Doesn't this imply that abortion isn't murder though? Murder laws are always left to the states. Just petition your local government, you'll have more success in the local levels. Petition the federal government to follow the Just War Theory strictly. That's something they actually have the authority to do!
Pray for the end of abortion, and pray that it will be left to the states where we can actually get something done!

Fred Thompson and the media reinforces my political ideology

I saw a poll about the economy, and Fred Thompson was in second. This is before yesterday's debate. How can a guy who made a few speeches, raised a bit of money, and smoked cigars while rebutting his critics come in second? I think it's because the average voter is somewhat apathetic and very uninformed.
I'm usually not against the media, and one of a tiny minority of trads that doesn't have a problem with TV. I'm starting to become anti-TV because adults are fusing information and entertainment. The real world and the world of mediocre TV shows is not the same thing. The show 24 is universally loved by neocons and justify themselves by implying "It's just like in 24, guys!".
So, do people trust Fred because they know what he believes, or because of his character on Law & Order? Thanks to him, they're referring to candidates as "Law and Order candidates", which is another word for totalitarian. I don't believe that the media is controlled by some shadowy conspirators trying to bring in a new world order one world government; but if there's such a conspiracy, they're foolish (perhaps aloof?) enough to help usher it in.
I honestly believe that most people are incredibly uninformed. Neocons and nationalists be damned, I'm saying it. They're too ignorant to vote and until a majority of Americans become uninformed I will be absolutely entrenched in my monarchism. Once they do, I'll still be a monarchist, but I'll have more respect for the American system.
People shouldn't skip debates and hear the recap, because plenty of times they end up spinning it to make a frontrunner look good. I remember this happened when they cut Ron Paul's rebuttal to Giuliani's rebuttal. It looked like Rudy won, but watching the actual thing shocked me. He put Rudy to shame.
