Twitter rumor I missed about Ron Paul

I just read an article by Doug Wead that there was apparently a rumor going around on Twitter yesterday about Ron Paul's demise. I missed the rumor, thankfully it wasn't true. I wanted to link to the article and share this paragraph, it says a lot:

The good news is this. If the death rumors were spread by the political opposition it is an admission that nothing short of death will stop him. Rumors of infidelity would not work or be believed. Ron Paul is faithful. Rumors of discovered flip flops and YouTube’s of old speeches with different positions would not work or be believed. Ron Paul is consistent. Rumors of taking money from lobbies or think tanks to say what they want would not work or be believed. Ron Paul is honest.

And those are the very reasons I support Dr. Ron Paul. If you have a few moments, read the whole article, it's not very long but good.

Newt Gingrinch - Serial Hypocrisy

Beware the leaven of the pharisees. In this warning, the leaven was hypocrisy. I just watched a good 2 and a half minute video by the Ron Paul campaign about Newt Gingrich, so I thought I'd post it here. I've actually liked some of what Mr. Gingrich has said during a couple of the debates I've watched, but as I frequently heard growing up, actions speak louder than words.

I also posted another message back in May that you may want to reference.

Title 26 is not the Internal Revenue Code... ? Then what is it?

I discovered the Adask law blog a few months ago, and it has some very interesting articles on it. I wanted to link one piece in particular right now, since it ties in with the theme of this blog. That article is titled Title 26 is not the Internal Revenue Code. It raises some very interesting questions. I think getting answers to those questions would be very helpful.

The notion that the status quo must hold is unconscionable.

I'm reading an opinion piece by Ron Paul on the USA Today web site, and I'm not even done with it yet, but I decided to post a link to it here. One reason I really like and support Rep. (Dr.) Ron Paul is because he tells it like it is. I may not agree with him 100%, but I do agree with more than 75%. I'm not really thrilled with the picture of him they used, but... what can you do? I'd quote a paragraph or two, but I don't want to deal with possible copyright issues. This blog article title is a sentence from the article, about student loans. So here's the link to the editorial: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/story/2011-10-27/ron-paul-budget-plan/50963452/1?csp=34news

Ron Paul and Islam

I just saw this video on WND (World Net Daily) by Molotov Mitchell and thought I'd share it here. My favorite part was where he clarified that Dr. Paul does not just want to cut aid to Israel, but that he wants to cut aid to everybody!

I didn't time it, but I think it's about 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Media cowards

Apparently they've decided to start treating Dr. Ron Paul as though he doesn't exist a bit earlier in the election cycle than they did 4 years ago. Why? Well, my guess is because if he won, his policies and ideas might slow down or stop the 'gravy train' they're riding on. Four years ago most news stories about Ron Paul began by stating that he 'has no chance of winning'. So of course, people who watch the t.v. news or read news stories begin to get that message (subliminal?), and when you talk to them about Dr. Paul they say things like 'I like him and I'd vote for him, but he has no chance of winning...'

In other words, they're basically saying 'I'm going to let the mainstream news organizations decide who can win and who I should vote for...' It's pathetic is what it is. My advise is: Vote for the best candidate! The lesser of 2 evils is still evil. And it wouldn't be the first time the 'experts' got it wrong.

I'll finish that rant for now, I wanted to share a link to a good story, as well as embed a video by Jon Stewart on this very topic. This sums up my feeling as well, from the article where I found this video: Jon Stewart continues to be my favorite liberal. Not because I like liberals—but because I respect honesty and integrity.

I learned a couple of things from this article by Doug Wead titled Ron Paul's Iowa success and the media cover up. Here's a paragraph, but do check out the whole article. It's not terribly long.

To give you an idea of how staggering Paul’s victory was, and why the national media risks a total disconnect with its readers and viewers in their effort to ignore it, he won twice as many votes as Tim Pawlenty and almost as many votes as Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, New Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman combined.

I would think that would be quite news-worthy, but it was apparently ignored by the national media.

Government Lies 1

I wasn't sure what to call this post, so I thought 'Government Lies' was appropriate. But then I know it won't be the last time I want to use that title, so I'll just start numbering them. I just found this article on the Energy News site, and thought I'd link to the actual article. It's called Fukushima brings big radiation spikes to B.C. (Canada). Here's the kicker -- I remember shortly after the world heard about damage to the nuclear reactors (plural, not one reactor but 4 of the 6 are badly damaged), we were told by our government and the press that there was no need to worry. They reported that people were buying iodine pills, but there was no need for them. Not that they'd measured the amount of radiation or anything, but that even if there was a lot of radiation it would all dissipate (like magic?) by the time it made it's way across the Pacific Ocean. It turns out they lied. Whether it was out of ignorance or malice, I don't know. And now that the damage is mostly done we get news reports that tell us a revised story than what was originally told. And, as far as I can tell large amounts of radiation continue to be released from the plants. And that radiation is continuing to make it's way across the Pacific Ocean. (See updates for Jul 6 and June 23.) I am actually beginning to believe that if there is any 'man made global warming' or 'climate change' it is due to nuclear energy and NOT carbon emissions. Some people in the Energy News comment section place the blame on 'profits above people' which is mostly true. Then they blame capitalism, which to me isn't to blame. I would blame fraud, cover-ups and deception. It's not like the 'leaders' in a communist, socialist or Marxist system are any better.
