• Super Tuesday Takeaways as ‘Defiant’ Romney Takes Ohio

  March 7, 2012 at 8:54am

  Many are now coming to realize the incredible depth of dissatisfaction from all sectors of the American political spectrum…right, left, conservative, libertarian, progressive, young and old…all.

  Regardless of misinformation, disinformation and manipulation…This fact remains unassailable:
  Dr. Paul is the only viable candidate from either party that appeals to many in “all” of these groups.

  And if Dr. Paul can be convinced to run as a third party candidate there is more than a good chance that he can actually unify this massive plurality of dissatisfied “Americans” and overcome the “one” party Republican/Democrats that are destroying our Constitution and driving us to economic ruin.

  Historically, third party candidates have had little chance…this is by design.

  This time is far different and “They” know it.

• Holder Gives Legal Justification for Killing of Al-Awlaki

  March 6, 2012 at 6:55am

  Have we gone too far? Is the Constitution being subverted? Have illegal actions been taken by our government in order to prosecute the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? Are our own civil rights and freedoms under threat as a result?

  Are we losing the very things that “we” claim to be fighting for?

  Remarkable “Must Watch” C-Span Video:

  *Moderated by Jonathan Turley and Stuart Taylor

  Powerful point made in closing by constitutional law expert Bruce Fein:

  “…And we need to remember that we adhere to certain principles because of what it says about us — irrespective of what it says about the enemy or adversary. It is as Abraham Lincoln said, as we would not be a slave — so we would not be a master, as we would not be colonized, so we would not be a colonizer, as we would not want to torture, we will never stoop to committing torture or flouting the rule of law…

  No — it’s to be Americans, where the rule of law is king.”

• Ted Nugent Rocks Out on Glenn Beck Program: ‘We Came to This New Land in Defiance of Tyranny’

  March 1, 2012 at 9:12pm

  Jon Stewart and John Oliver of “The Daily Show” again brilliantly point to the “blacked out” and “marginalized” candidacy of Ron Paul:

  “He’s actually polling better than any other candidate against the President Obama…course mainstream establishment doesn’t seem to…in any way…I guess were not supposed to talk about Ron Paul.”

  *Remarkably, it has now been revealed that only one national reporter is currently covering the Paul campaign:

• $25 Billion Settlement Reached in Mortgage Abuse Cases — $17 Billion to Go for Reduced Loans

  February 9, 2012 at 7:12pm

  26 Billion vs. 29 TRILLION!!!

  Banks get 29 Trillion…Struggling homeowners to get 26 billion!!!

  This is a thousand times more!!!

  One Trillion is One Thousand Billion!!!

  Most recent information points to bailouts totaling “29 Trillion” dollars:

  “$29,000,000,000,000: A Detailed Look at the Fed’s Bailout by Funding Facility and Recipient”

  *This is roughly 100K for every American citizen – it is much higher a total per homeowner.

• Shock Report: TARP Fraud Grows, Feds Admit Taxpayers ‘Will Never Get Back’ Billions of Dollars

  January 28, 2012 at 12:06am

  The Tarp Lie continues…

  Bailouts total 29 Trillion!!!

  Attempts are constantly made to paint the bailouts in terms of TARP… but TARP is but a slice of the continued overall bailouts.

  The most recent data puts the overall bailout total at 29 TRILLION Dollars!!!

  http://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/?docid=1462

  29 TRILLION Is 29 Thousand Billion Dollars.
  Roughly 100K for every US Citizen!

• Sen. Rand Paul Tells His TSA Story: Threatend ‘Full-Body Patdown’ if I Used My Phone

  January 23, 2012 at 11:42pm

  Attempts to bribe, extort or threaten Dr. Paul into resisting a “third party” challenge by speaking to his son’s possible future in the Republican party are very telling. Why would Senator Paul remain in a party that marginalizes his father and blatantly ignores his principled causes? Better Senator Rand Paul should consider the potential of helping his father to found a new “third” party both “for” and “by” the American people.

  Historically, third party candidates have had little chance…this is by design.

  This time is far different and “They” know it.

  A Ron Paul “Third Party” candidacy is their worst nightmare.
