Ogre’s Politics and Views

Ron Paul is not out of this fight yet. He’s raising more money than any other candidate from more people. He really can win this thing and improve this country and really improve freedom — both personal and economic. If you want a serious tax cut, you’ll love Ron Paul.

There’s a new money bomb tomorrow — Feb 1st — to raise awareness of the 16th amendment — the one that created all these punishing income taxes! Come on, donate and help Ron Paul win!

This picture is close, but can you see what’s missing? I’ll give you a hint — it’s off to the left of the picture.

It’s the government agent with a gun pointed at the lender, FORCING him to pull the lever, whether he wants to or not.

Now we’re told that McCain is the Republican nominee. Of course, this is the very same media that, a few short months ago, told us that Guiliani couldn’t be beat. Let’s see what happens if the media is right (this week) when November comes around and people have to choose one of two options for president:

Yeah, great options, eh? Don’t forget, this Republican nomination is NOT over yet. The Republican nomination likely will not be selected and confirmed until the Republican National Convention. And there’s better candidates still running.

Any time any one opposes anything, they’re called racists, hate-filled, or bigoted. Well I’ve got news for you — there’s some things that are bad and wrong in this world. You can call me what you like, I’ll still say they’re wrong, even after government arrests me and throws me in jail for doing so (which I fully expect in my lifetime).

When someone opposes an organization that has as it’s goals the overthrow of the United States government, that’s not fear mongering. I’m sorry if that offends you. I’m sorry if you’re a member of this “church” that wants to overthrow the government. If YOU don’t want to overthrow the US government, I suggest you find another church.

But here’s the money quote that makes so many people “angry:”

We just feel that Christianity is right and that Islam is wrong.

Apparently you’re not allowed to say that anything is right or wrong in America today. That’s being “judgmental” and “religiously intolerant.” But know what? Since those are competing belief systems, one of them HAS to be wrong. There’s no possible way that both can be correct. So you pick one (or neither, I suppose). But you simply cannot choose both.

I’m sorry, are you not a member of a protected class? Then you’re nothing but a slave and your purpose is to generate cash so government can protect those who need protection from YOU. Now shut up and get back to work earning money to support this pile of crap we call a government.

Robin Hayes (Congressman, 8th district, NC) is a nice fellow. I like him a lot. I’ve met him and talked to him on different occasions. But I believe he is an example of what’s wrong with the Republican Party. He wins elections (and this may be the only way to win them today) by promising and giving away cash that he takes from other people.

His latest example is the three BILLION dollars that he’s taking from people who work and earn the money — from schoolteachers to doctors — to give to farmers who aren’t growing crops. No, seriously. Because, as Robin Hayes says, “Agriculture is important,” we need to give them cash. Lots of cash.

Know what? If it doesn’t rain, the crops don’t grow. Why is that my fault? Why I am, personally, being financially penalized because it didn’t rain? That’s completely and totally WRONG. That’s 100% anti-freedom. That’s socialism all the way. In a free society, people are free to fail. That’s no longer allowed in America today. Since everyone gets cash for not working, tell me why I’m working again? Oh, right, to earn money to pay for crap programs like $3 billion to farmers who didn’t grow crops.

And since North Carolina, by law, won’t let anyone run for this Congressional seat except Republicans and Democrats, there’s no hope of anyone better taking his place — the Democrat who might beat Robin Hayes would just give away even MORE money.

Some say it’s already over. I say it’s not over until the fat lady sings. And I’m in it until it’s over. I’m making calls for Ron Paul. He CAN win. And he is best for this country, and I really don’t care who supports him!

And after yesterday, I guess there’s just four left now…

I’m sure by now most everyone who wants to knows that Giuliani is expected to endorse McCain for president. As of the moment I’m typing this, he hasn’t made it “official.” Therefore, I’d like to offer to write his endorsement speech for him:

Okay, I’m done. We fought the good fight. I thought that I could ignore New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina because those people are just backwoods hicks. I figured I could just throw money at Little New York (that’s Florida), and I’d win here. But apparently you people in Florida are just a bunch of lemmings, too, and you just followed the state before you. Fine, I’m done.

Now that I’m leaving the race, I plan on spending my time with my family (as soon as I remember which one is my current wife). I fought the good fight, but I lost. So to those who have supported me, I say, “Thank you very much.” Now that I’m out, however, I want all you who supported me to turn their support over to my good friend John McCain.

Why? Because he is most like me of the candidates remaining. I hate the second amendment and I fear guns. John hates the second amendment, too (and as an added benefit, John hates the first amendment, too!). I like spending other people’s money; John voted against tax cuts for people who work and earn money. I want to spend hundreds of trillions on using the military to kill people I don’t like for centuries. John also wants to continue to send troops into and across the Middle East for the next century as well.

I pretend that I’m conservative so that I can attempt to win the nomination. John pretends that’s he’s conservative so he can win the nomination. I absolutely love illegal aliens. I’ve worked much of my life to help and protect illegal aliens. I support bringing as many illegal aliens as I can into this country and giving them piles of cash and benefits, paid for by working American citizens. John supports immediate and full amnesty support of illegals and has consistently voted to give them money, supplies, jobs, educations, and houses, all paid for by taxpayers who work hard.

How can you get a better match than this? That Huckabee guy is just insane. After all, he thinks men putting their **** in other men’s **** isn’t right. I’m of the opinion that there is no absolute right or wrong. How could I possible support him? Romney, well, he’s from Massachusetts. I’m from New York. Of COURSE I hate him. He even supports the hated Red Sox, so there’s no way I could endorse him. The only other candidate remaining is that Ron Paul guy. That guy us just nuts — he actually supports the Constitution! How could anyone like him?

That’s why I, Rudy G., fully support and endorse John McCain for president. Now excuse me, I’m off to vote four or five times in the New York primary.

Not all of the Islamic symbolism in the Flight 93 memorial is hidden. One of the things that Tom Burnett Sr. protested from the beginning was the overtly minaret-like Tower of Voices. The Tower is formed in the shape of an extruded crescent, and even has its top cut at an angle so that its crescent arms reach up into the sky, similar to the upturned crescent motif seen atop minarets all over the world:

Press Release:

North Carolina Representative Karen Ray was just elected as the State Director for people who don’t have penises. If you have one, you’re not allowed in this exclusive group, because they judge people primarily on whether or not they have one, not on their actual abilities or accomplishments.

The president of this organization congratulated Ray, saying, “We Who Judge Based On Gender Alone congratulates Representative Ray in her new position as a State Director. State Directors play a critical role in setting policy priorities for our penis-less organization. Representative Ray is a recognized leader without a penis in her state, and we are excited that she will now share her leadership skills with other women policymakers throughout the country — but not with men, because we hate all men because they have a penis and we do not.”

At the 14th Annual State Directors Conference, women state legislators will hear from expert speakers (not men) on a variety of public policy topics and their impact on states. Topics to be discussed vary, but will be judged also on their gender, not on their actual value to anyone other than women. Because this group cannot be concerned with anything associated with males, apparently.

About Women In Government
Women In Government is a national 501(c)(3), non-profit, bi-partisan, sexist organization of only women state legislators who hate men providing leadership opportunities, networking, expert forums, and educational resources to address and resolve complex public policy issues for women only; leading the women only of the nation with a bold, courageous, female, and passionate vision that empowers and mobilizes all women (and not men) legislators to effect sound policy that is based on gender decision, not facts or reality.

*** End Press Release

Man, don’t you just love government? Aren’t you glad we have representatives that can spend time and money on such sexist activities? Oh wait, was I not supposed to call them sexist because they’re female?

Yet again, I have to wonder, is there anything government cannot do? According to Democrats, who have run North Carolina for literally over 100 years, no, there isn’t. In fact, if there’s anything government isn’t doing, all you have to do is give them MORE money, and then they’ll do it.

In North Carolina, you have to go to school. It’s the law (even if it shouldn’t be). Apparently making something a law isn’t enough these days to get people to obey the law. Instead of punishing people for breaking the law, North Carolina is now giving away $7 million to bribe people to go to school. No, I’m not kidding. Next thing you know, we’ll just start giving kids an hourly salary just for showing up.

The “education” system is broken in America. It cannot be fixed, no matter how much money of mine that is thrown at it. There is no hope for this system. Throw it out and let’s start over. I’ll start a school for kids tomorrow — if the government would let me. But if I tried, I’d get thrown in jail. What a country!

Yeah, that’s not news, is it? Nearly ANY time the government tries to “solve” a problem, they create MORE problems. As Walter Williams so clearly spells out — government FORCED lenders to make risky and dangerous loans. When people couldn’t pay the loans, that created a problem. So now government wants to show up to fix the problem THEY CREATED.

Oh, and their solution, besides be anti-capitalist and totally anti-freedom, is also blatantly unconstitutional. I know, I live in the past — where the Constitution was the law of the land. I wish there were a true Constitutional Republic where I could go live in freedom. Unfortunately, despite the successes of the Free State Project, I just don’t see freedom coming to earth any time soon.

As I predicted when Chavez came to power. He continues to work hard to kill people. That’s “progress” when you’re in a socialist regime. In fact, that’s “progressive.” But hey, we can’t have those farmers actually selling the crops they grew and actually earning enough money to eat! That’s just not fair!

As the Democrats might say: if some people are going to starve, then everyone will starve, and anyone who tries to NOT starve will be crushed.

What a deal. Gee, I sure hope the government health care plans of Romney and Hillary are as good as the socialist plan in England. I mean, this is just great. Here’s how it works: if you’re overweight, you get free money. If you’re working hard to remain fit and healthy, STOP! Instead, just sit back, relax, and gain some weight — then the government will give you cash, too!

Heck, I might even go into business here. I can have late night infomercials:

“Are you not getting your share of the £372 million that the government is giving away? We can help you get more free cash from government! With our groundbreaking, scientific plan developed by medical scientists, in less than 2 weeks, you, too can start getting government cash.

“Just follow our patented plan X and you’ll gain at least 20 pounds in one week. The plan, and included food, is just £5 a day. And, for no extra charge, as a free bonus, we’ll include the proper government forms for you to fill out to claim your free cash from the government! It’s a no-lose investment — you pay us a mere £5 a day for a few weeks, then the monthly government checks just start rolling in! Call now!”

Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

So, in a face-off between government and homeschoolers, who do you think will win? Of course government will win, because they have literally unlimited funds and an unlimited capacity to do evil. They also have millions of union members in the form of the “education” departments that see children only as cash and honestly do not care if they learn one thing.

Keep in mind: government is STRONGLY opposed to home-schooling. They despise it because it takes power, money, and control away from government. Even Mike Huckabee, the alleged savior of conservatives, despises and has voted to make home schooling more difficult. But just look at some of the terms used by government in reference to homeschoolers:

The “prying eyes of teachers, social workers and other professionals who otherwise might have detected signs of abuse.” So that’s the job of ALL government employees: to observe and detect anything the government might not like — and stop it.

How about this one: “home schooling removes children from a lot of that surveillance.” Again, implying the primary job of government is to watch over your children because it’s not safe to let you, the parent, do it. This IS the majority view of the public education system in America, whether you want to admit it or not.

There’s more quotes at that link — but the author ends up asking a question that seems quite relavent:

Is this America 2008? Or is it Germany 1936?

I honestly can’t tell.

I wish I were Chuck Knoblauch. No, not because of his cash. I’d love to be Chuck so I could tell Congress where they could stick their “subpoena.”

Then again, I might show up and lecture the Democrats on the Congressional committee that somehow thinks that since they are vaunted members of Congress, that they can literally force any citizen of the United States to show up and tell them anything they want to hear. Those Democrats, and every one who voted for that subpoena are miserable, selfish, self-centered slimeballs.

Sorry, that’s the way it is.

Chuck Knoblauch does NOT work for Congress. He doesn’t even work for the Major League Baseball monopoly that Congress allows. So Congress, under a Constitutional government, has ZERO power over Mr. Knoblauch. Instead, the Congress, under a Constitutional government, has the power to MAKE laws. That’s it. They’re not supposed to enforce ANY laws. Now they can ask anyone they want to show up and talk to them. But they’re way beyond any Constitutional authority when they DEMAND that someone show up. I really hope Chuck shows up and just tells them off. I know I would.

You see, some might claim they’re “investigating” steroids. First, no laws were broken. No one’s even claiming that any laws were broken. Next, if laws WERE broken, it would be up to the EXECUTIVE branch to enforce laws, not the slimeballs in the Congress. This is one of the primary thinks that’s wrong with Congress, and why lawyers shouldn’t be allowed in Congress — they all think they’re better and more important than everyone else. They think people should answer to them — and it should be the other way around.

Oh, how I yearn for freedom and a Constitutional government.
