Dr. Ron Paul and national security

I was just reading this article about the YAF national board expelling Dr. Ron Paul from their advisory board, and all I can say is: Wow!

For those who don't know my views, back in 2008 I spent some time volunteering for Dr. Paul's primary campaign for President and posted some articles and embedded a couple of YouTube video's on my other blog. Basically, he's as pro-U.S. Constitution as any politician you'll find. So for them to claim that he's not is just ridiculous. When it comes to war and national defense, from what I've heard him say he (rightly) says that we shouldn't be sending our citizens into battle unless we follow the Constitution and Congress votes for a declaration of war.

And otherwise he would follow a non-interventionist foreign policy. However he would secure our borders, which is rightfully a government function. He would cut foreign aid (and that topic pulls in the US AID agency, which I have discovered ties into the deception of the application of the tax code in a big way, but I digress...), as it's not a legitimate government function under the Constitution.

I think these few sentences sums up their reasoning:
The United States is the world's leader--a beacon of light for the wretched and the oppressed. God has blessed the United States with liberty and the strength and heart to spread that liberty to all of his children. Rep. Paul has abandoned this mission, abandoned the United States' citizens, and abandoned the citizens of the world in their quest for their God-given natural rights."
From what I gather from that statement, they expelled him because he's supposed to assist the citizens of the world in their quest for their God-given natural rights? Really? Is that what he took an oath to do? And who gets to decide how that is supposed to be accomplished? Wow.

Rich take from the poor

I wanted to point to an article on another blog I visit now & then since it really makes me angry. If you can afford to buy off some politicians apparently it's easy to 'game the system' and guess who pays for it? Here's the link to the article: Rich take from poor.

Welcome to the Tax honesy blog

I have another blog about using EFT and spiritual warfare, which didn't seem like the right place to post some of the things I'd like to rant or write about related to taxes and/or politics.

I had been thinking about starting a blog on this topic for at least the last couple of months, and due to the nature of the tax-collectors and their 'friends', I wasn't sure if perhaps it might be safer to be anonymous. I decided that while it might be 'safer' in some respects I didn't want to stoop to their level. What made me decide to start the blog now was that I saw an article on Rose Lear's blog that I wanted to link to, and didn't want to put it on my other blog, and that will be the 2nd post on here.

I don't know if I'll post a lot on here or not, but I'll throw up some links to other sites and probably comment about books I read and some online radio shows I listen to now and then. So, welcome to the blog!
