The Stark Choice- Freedom Or Obama
- Future generations may indeed use the word “Obama” in the same way that Norwegians remember the name “Quisling”. Quisling was a man who placed his ideology, an ideology rejected by Norwegians, above his country. Even if the People didn’t want his brand of national socialism, he was determined to impose it on the nation. Not even the brutal occupation and terrorization of Norway by the Germans phases this man, he keeps pushing until the bitter end, right up until the moment of his execution.
Obama is not going to be executed, and he doesn’t need a foreign power to help him, in fact, he is far more popular than Quisling ever was. The comparison between Obama and Quisling is rooted in the fact that both men held radical ideological views that, were they to be out in the open, their countrymen would reject. Obama’s form of progressive socialism is globalist, not nationalist, and, unlike Quisling, he is not at all up front about it.
Obama does have a radical ideological agenda, and he doesn’t care HOW it gets imposed. The facade of “democracy” is all well and good, until that democracy stands in his way. During his 2012 State of the Union speech, Obama as much as declared his agenda- he was going to get his agenda done, “with or without Congress”. This was nothing short of a declaration of war on freedom and democracy itself, but most did not see it as such, most chalked it up to “political rhetoric”. Forget the ideal of “the republic, for which it stands” (the flag), Obama’s only flag is the bright red flag of his progressive socialist ideology.
With his army of Union stormtroopers, a progressive media establishment that towes his party line, complicit courts, and dozens of well-catered to special interest groups, Obama has set up all the preconditions for an outright dictatorship, even his rheotric was that of a dictator: every idea but his own he lables as “partisan”, only his ideas are “patriotic”, and indeed the very history of the nation’s founding principles is rewritten in progressive socialist terminology. His opponent demonized and divided, his army of street rioters at the ready, with untold powers over the means of communication, there remains only a pretext, whether real or manufactured.
This does not mean that if a reach for ultimate power, and the termination of the Republic, is attempted that it will succeed, but as each day passes without united opposition to the real enemy of freedom, the man and his minions who Occupy the White House, it becomes more likely that any attempt to rid the nation of the progressive socialist threat to its existence as a free Republic will be resisted with, how shall we, “less than civil means.” The progressive socialists think this is their last shot to create a progressive utopian super-state that will make its billionair sponsors supremely rich and powerful. Those who fail to understand that this group of people wants to end America as a free Republic and create what is essentially a soviet socialist “republic” are failing to see the stark truth.
The election in 2012 will determine, once and for all perhaps, whether the progressive socialists can be removed from power peacefully or whether we will see the nation torn asunder by tyranny or even some form of civil war. Progressive socialists are the real enemy, everyone else had better unify, behind someone, right now, or watch this nation suffer, possibly unto death! Whatever you think of Romney’s flip-flopping or Newt’s filandering or “lobbying”, none of these men are hard-core dedicated progressive socialists, despite the frantic rantings of Glenn Beck.
This will only sound over the top to people who refuse to believe that the unthinkable could come to our shores. It has happened in this nation before and it has happened in many other nations, often with seeming “suddenness” that is “shocking”. The signs are there, clear as day, that the progressive socialists want a dictatorship headed by Obama. Obama has shown his contempt for democracy and freedom, and has never hesitated to put his ideology and his party ahead of the interest of the nation.
Whatever happens, future generations will see in the name “Obama” a byword for “putting radical ideology ahead of the nation”
Santorum South Carolina Primary- How Rick Santorum stopped the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton- Collier Brothers
Rick Santorum tells South Carolina voters that he is the only conservative purist in the field, attacking Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney for being unreliable conservatives. Well, THE FREEDOMIST has already exposed Rick Santorum for his betrayal of a core conservative value, the right to work, the protection against Union thuggery. He is FOR right to work but NEVER votes for right to work legislation. He also endorsed Arlen Specter in his 1996 Presidential run, in 2004 against true conservative Pat Toomey, AND even endorsed Mitt Romney in his 2008 Presidential run.
Well, worse than even his right to vote betrayal and his endorsements of RINOS and future democrats was the work that he did as a Senator in the Clinton years, when he and Trent Lott undermined the Senate efforts to bring Bill Clinton to trial after the House impeached him for lying under oath.
That’s right, this pure conservative, who attacks like a tiny lap dog (see Thursday’s debate for a classic example of what an attack lap dog looks like when he nips at the heels of others), was instrumental, along with Trent Lott, in stopping the Clinton Impeachmment proceeedings, in rescuing Bill Clinton from facing a fair trial of his peers. This action should not be surprising to the people who remember how aggressively Rick Santorum worked to torpedo a true conservative, Pat Toomey, in 2004, from removing a future democrat and former RINO, Arlen Specter.
Here is all the proof you need to see that Santorum, in fact, killled the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, just another reflection of how Santorum is the face of Conservative Purity in Name Only (CPINO- which also sounds like the name of an exotic small wolf dop that yips and yips and yips at everyon’e ankles):
Excerpts from “Catching Our Flag: Behind the Scenes of a Presidential Impeachment”
From the Diaries of Congressman James E. Rogan, House Manager, Clinton Impeachment Trial
Published May 2011
[After the House impeached Clinton, the House Managers brought the case to try before the U.S. Senate. Once they arrived to prosecute Clinton, Trent Lott and Rick Santorum did everything they could behind the scenes to destroy the House Managers’ case and guarantee Clinton would never face a fair trial. Under Lott and Santorum’s plan, the Managers were denied the right to call a single witness or place before the Senate any trial evidence to show why the House impeached the president. When outgoing Speaker Gingrich learned of this perfidy, he grew furious]
[Pages 272-274]
Diary, Telephone Call, Speaker Newt Gingrich,
December 30, 1998
Newt said he was livid with Lott and asked what I thought about the
Senate leader’s idea. I tore into the suggestion and said I would not be
a party to him tossing out our case. I said we should show up in their
chamber on the day appointed and demand to present our case. If they
refused, we would walk out. Under no circumstance would we give Lott
or any other pantywaist Republican senator cover. We would make them
commit this betrayal in public.
Newt agreed strongly: “The Managers must be firm on this. Henry
Hyde cannot give in. This is about much more than his reputation and his
legacy. It is about the Constitution and the defense of it.” Newt said that
if Lott pushes this, he will destroy his Republican majority in the Senate.
I told Newt that I thought our conservative base would torch Lott if
he forced this idea. Newt agreed that Lott risked losing his leadership
position if he tried. Newt volunteered to help fire up our troops,
suggesting we “unleash” Majority Whip Tom DeLay [called “The
Hammer” for his political hardball instincts] and get this story out to
conservative editors, columnists, and talk radio hosts. Newt then caught
himself and wondered aloud whether he should be involved, saying,
“I’m not there anymore.”
I reminded him he was still there: technically Newt remained as
Speaker and a Member of Congress until he resigned his seat formally.
“By the way,” I added, “we may need to swear you in to the new Congress
so you can vote with us on reappointing House Managers. We’ve heard
some of our anti-impeachment Republicans might not stand with us.”
When I told him that passing a reappointment resolution might be a
problem with some Republicans, Newt blew his stack:
“This is so fundamental that nobody—nobody—gets a free vote
on this,” he shouted. “If any member of our conference won’t vote to
reappoint Managers, we should drum them out of the Republican Party.
Let them become Democrats, and let Dick Gephardt become Speaker.
Let him then try to govern the House with a one-vote majority. This is
traitorous. We must enforce a party line vote….” Newt said, “Let these guys
become Democrats if that is their game and make them show their true colors.”
After this call, I took heart when a staffer handed me a message
that Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) wanted to speak with me.
Elected to the Senate just two years earlier, Santorum had been a
conservative House stalwart who appeared to be the rare exception
to my senatorial hypothesis about new members breathing the
ether in The Other Body. I felt sure that if anyone might go to bat
for us with Trent Lott, it was Rick.
Diary, Telephone Conversation with Senator Rick Santorum,
December 31, 1998
I told Rick that Trent Lott was trying to sell all of us out and dump
the impeachment case against Clinton. I said Lott was acting out
of expediency in wanting to make a political headache just go away,
despite the evidence.
“Oh, the Leader would never do that,” Rick said defensively.
“The Leader” would never do that?
The more Rick defended Lott, the deeper my heart sank in
realizing another good guy drank the Senate’s collegiality Kool-Aid.
I told Rick I would recommend to Henry Hyde that we flatly reject
participating in anything that resembled a one-day submission on the
record so the Senate could sidestep a public trial. I also made clear that
I would vigorously and publicly object to any attempt by Lott to define
impeachable offenses as a predicate to the Senate deciding whether to
let us to try our case.
Rick said Lott was concerned about the upcoming 2000 Senate
elections, and Lott’s fear he might lose Republican seats over this
unpopular cause. As one facing defeat myself, I told him I understood,
but our obligation was to the Constitution and not worrying about
elections two years away…. “I wonder what kind of man we have in the Oval
Office?” he asked.
“I’ll tell you what kind of man we have in the Oval Office, Rick,”
I replied. “We have an impeached man in the Oval Office. And we
need you guys to let us come over and show you why.”
[Note: near the end of this conversation, Santorum started backing off on his defense of Lott. However, it was a short-lived shot of courage. A few days later, he was planted firmly in Lott’s hip pocket, as the following excerpts show]
[Pages 292-293]
Diary, Telephone Call with Senator Rick Santorum,
January 7, 1999, 5:00 p.m.
Santorum said that Lott is proposing the senators have a bipartisan
caucus tomorrow morning to adopt his latest proposal: have the House
Managers and the President’s attorneys argue their respective cases for
four weeks, and then the Senate will vote on whether to allow a trial with
witnesses. However, the Senate will also entertain a White House motion
to dismiss the case outright.
Santorum confessed that under Lott’s plans, the House Managers
should “assume that you will get no witnesses.”
Trent Lott apparently stood nearby when Santorum told me this,
because as my colorful response blared from Santorum’s telephone
receiver, Lott took the phone from him and came on the line
with me:
Lott said he wanted to meet with all the House Managers at 6:00
p.m. tonight. “Jim, we want to give you your trial and let you call your
witnesses,” he told me. “So let’s all get together with your Managers
tonight and show you that we aren’t out to be the enemy. I should have
just done this myself the first time instead of using intermediaries.”
Did I just hear him correctly? After presuming Lott to be the
boogeyman wanting to scuttle our case before we could present
it, had all this been a misunderstanding from the start? With this
personal assurance, I felt a sudden ray of hope.
Our staff rounded up the other House Managers for the meeting
in our Judiciary Committee conference room. Before Lott arrived,
I related my conversation to the group, along with Lott’s assurance
that he wants to make sure we call live witnesses. Manager Chris
Cannon interrupted me:
“I just spoke to [Utah Republican Senator] Bob Bennett,”
Cannon said. “Bennett told me, ‘You guys just lost. The Senate
plans to kill off your hope of calling any witnesses.’” Manager Bill
McCollum shared that he just received the same message from
Senator Mike DeWine (R-OH).
Fuming over Lott’s apparent smoke blowing over the telephone,
I renewed my motion that we should refuse to participate in any
proceeding where the senators block us from calling witnesses. Bob
Barr agreed, and made a motion to give Chairman Hyde authority
to tell Lott we would refuse to proceed without witnesses. Henry
took the middle ground, saying we should take two days in the
Senate to make our case as to why we need witnesses. “Otherwise,”
he feared, “we might appear to be sore losers.”
Trent Lott and Rick Santorum interrupted our discussion when
they arrived together at 6:15 p.m. After expressing his love for the
House and claiming fond memories of his own days there, Lott
lamented that the Senate is a more complicated body to lead:
“I want you to have a chance to put on your case,” Lott told us. “But
‘putting on your case’ means opening statements and maybe some
evidence. There is no guarantee that you will get any witnesses. Maybe
you can get some witnesses later, but keep in mind you always face a
motion to adjourn the trial from the Democrats.”
Some of the Managers didn’t wait for Lott to finish speaking
before weighing in:
Chris Cannon accused Lott of trying to get us to participate in a sham
trial. Bob Barr snapped at Lott, “We don’t hear you guys on TV telling
everyone you are fighting for us to be able to call witnesses. All we hear
is you Senate Republicans saying we need to convince you that we need
witnesses.”
Growing defensive, Lott shot back, “I’m not prepared to agree to fight
for your right to call witnesses without justification. I’m doing my best
to hold the line on our moderate Republican senators. They may vote
against the Articles of Impeachment themselves if you keep pushing this
witness issue!”
“Without witnesses,” Bill McCollum interrupted, “Clinton stands no
chance of ever being convicted and removed.”
“At least you’ll stand a chance to have your side heard,” Lott replied.
When my turn came, I ridiculed his position, given that the Senate
routinely spends months on judicial impeachments, and reminded him
that in Judge Alcee Hastings’ recent impeachment trial, the Senate
heard from fifty-five witnesses. I accused Lott of wanting us to come
and argue why we should have a trial, and then he wants to call that
argument the “trial.”
Next, I said the White House and the Senate Democrats fought
so hard against having any live witnesses called: with witnesses, the
Democrats have no control over an otherwise preordained verdict of
acquittal. “The Managers understand why the Democratic senators
don’t want witnesses,” I goaded, “but why on earth are you Republican
senators afraid of them?”
Finally, I told Lott that if he really was fearful that moderate Republicans
would vote against impeachment articles out of revenge if we asked for
witnesses, then Lott should reverse the order of his proposal: have us
argue to the Senate why we needed witnesses for a trial, and then let the
Senate vote. If the Senate refuses our request, we should announce that
the Senate has rendered us unable to proceed and walk out.
Lott and Santorum shared a panic-stricken look.
Santorum blurted, “If we did that, then you guys could leave and say you never got a trial!”
With that comment, both Lott and Santorum tipped their hand. Here,
ultimately, was their plan: call their charade a trial, and then let the history
books record Clinton’s acquittal after an impeachment “trial.”
Lott distributed copies of his final “no-witness” trial plan. He
asked us to review it, and then he and Santorum stepped out of the
room to await our decision.
A glum-looking Henry Hyde said he was willing to go along
with Lott’s plan. Bob Barr spoke against it vociferously. I joined
Barr in suggesting we return to the Senate to argue for our right to
have a trial, but refuse to cooperate with this plan.
Henry summoned Lott and Santorum back to the room. “I’m
getting great resistance to your plan from my team,” Henry told
them, and repeated our willingness to come and argue for our right
to have a full trial. Lott then reiterated Santorum’s earlier concern
that if they agreed to this, and if the Senate later refused to give us
witnesses, “you guys might later say there never was a trial.”
There it was again. Stripped bare were all the earlier winks and
nods about calling witnesses later in the trial. Lott and Santorum
stalked out of the room amid hostile comments from our team.

Diary, U.S. Senate Floor During Impeachment Proceedings
against President Clinton,
Saturday, February 6, 1999
[After a long day of being battered by hostile senators who made sure the House Managers could not present evidence to convict Clinton, the House Managers gathered off the Senate floor for a quick strategy session]
Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) interrupted our meeting. When he said
he wanted to give us “advice,” some of us started grumbling. We all liked
Rick, but he was there to do Trent Lott’s bidding.
“You guys did a great job…,” Santorum gushed at
Asa [Hutchinson] and me. “For the first time, our Republican senators are listening to
the facts and thinking that having witnesses is valuable . . .”
I interrupted Santorum: “Rick, if your colleagues now find the testimony
so enlightening and valuable, why don’t you go back and tell them
there’s much more where that came from. Go back and make a motion
to open this up to live witnesses, and to have a real trial.”
Suddenly, Rick’s demeanor turned dour. “Oh, that will never do,” he
replied.
Wrong answer; I remember vividly taking out some pent-up
exasperation on my friend Rick:
“If you won’t make that motion,” I snapped at him, “then get the
fuck out of here.”
Some Managers laughed and jeered at Rick, who grew quite flustered.
“I was just trying to be helpful,” he said. “If you don’t want my advice,
then I’ll leave.” Henry tried to assuage Rick’s feelings as other Managers
continued heckling him [as he stormed out of the room]. Senate’s Republican led sell-out of our case.

GINGRICH AND THE CLINTON IMPEACHMENT
Op Ed Published: 12/02/2011 at 6:31 PM
….In fact, if there is any presidential candidate running for the GOP nomination in 2011 who needs to come clean on his role in the failure to oust Clinton for high crimes and misdemeanors, it is Rick Santorum.
It was Santorum who worked side-by-side with Trent Lott to ensure no real impeachment trial, one where witnesses would be called and evidence submitted, would ever take place in the U.S. Senate. And that is exactly what came to pass.
Now, I generally like Rick Santorum. I think he is a feisty advocate for conservative principles. But on the impeachment of Bill Clinton, Santorum served as Trent Lott’s toady. Those are the facts. Read the story for yourself in “Catching the Flag,” without question the best historical record of the Clinton impeachment process, written by the man on point – House impeachment manager Jim Rogan.
Politics is a complicated business. Sometimes the good guys err, and the bad guys get it right….

The Rick Santorum CPINO (Conservative Purity in Name Only) exposed:
Rick Santorum Endorses Arlen Specter and Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum kills Clinton Impeachment proceedings
Rick Santorum opposes Right to Work Legislation
Rick Santorum Right to Work- South Carolina Primary voters, meet your true conservative, not so pure- Paul Collier
Rick Santorum champions his unblemished conservative position, but we at The Freedomist have found this claim to be unsubstantiated. Whether he was killing riht to work legislation, or stoppiing the Impeachment proceeding of conservative Bill Clinton (wait, something doesn’t seem right here), Rick Santorum sure has lived up to his Conservative Purity in Name Only (CPINO) monkiker- Here is an issue that illustrates Santorum’s hypocricy when claiming conservative purity- right to work.
At the South Carolina Debate this past Thursday, Santorum claimed he HAD to vote against Right to Work Legislation because his state was not a right to work state, even while he said as President he would be FOR national right to work laws. Methiinks I see a double-speak here. IF you don’t believe me, take into consideration Rick Santorum’s Republican Predecessor, Pat Toomey, the man who was delayed a seat in the Senate back in 2004 when Rick Santorum, that bastion of conservative purity, threw his pure conservative values behind Arlen Specter.
Pat Toomey, a consistent fiscal conservative, and the former congressman of this writer’s (Lehigh Valley rocks!), voted FOR right to work legislation DESPITE being in a non-right to work state. Hmmmm. Here is Santorum in the debate, followed by Pat Toomey in March of 2011, sponsoring right to work legislation by another bastion of conservative purity (an actual one, not just one of those proclaimers), Jim Demint:
SANTORUM: And with right-to-work, look, I represented the state of Pennsylvania, which is one of the — which is not a right-to-work state. If you look at who voted for the right-to-work bill in the Congress, those who came from right-to-work states voted for it. Those who came from non-right-to-work states represented their states. I wasn’t going to vote in Washington, D.C., to change the law in my state.
I support right-to-work. I actually, as president, will sign and advocate for a right-to-work bill, but when I represented the people of Pennsylvania, I made the decision that I wasn’t going to do in Washington and change the law in my state when my state didn’t want to have that provision in their laws.
From Pat Toomey: TOOMEY TODAY, in March 2011, co-sponsored with Jim Demint the National Right to Work Act to reduce workplace discrimination by protecting the free choice of individuals to form, join, or assist labor organizations, or to refrain from such activities.
How do you like your conservative purity now Santorum fans?
For those who really need a clearer picture, check out the addendum below illustrating his right to work betrayal:
1. Rick Santorum votes with pro-Union liberals.
a. Rick Santorum voted against repeal of laws the require workers to payunion dues or fees in order to hold those jobs, whether they wanted to or notand whether they agreed with the Union’s politics or not.
b. Rick Santorum voted — repeatedly — to keep an old law on the books requiring thefederal government to dig deeper to pay, through its construction contractors,“prevailing wages.”
c. Rick Santorum voted to Prohibit Employers From Hiring Permanent ReplacementsFor Striking Workers — Firing them and replacing them as Reagan did with theillegal air traffic controllers strike.
d. Santorum Voted AgainstBinding Arbitration To End A Railroad Labor Dispute.
e. Rick Santorum votedwith the Democrats trying to force the unionization of Federal Express.
2. Rick Santorum voted with the teachers union toretain the “North Korean” model of public education and against school choice,merit schools, model schools, and decentralization.

For 4 long years a proposal to build pipeline that would bring oil from Canada to U.S. refineries has been kicked around by the current administration. Yesterday that battle was, once again, postponed by President Obama. Environmentalists call it a small victory, Republicans call it a loss. It is clear that despite Obama’s want to create new jobs, he is putting politics in front of national interest. Furthermore, it would seem, according to Canada’s Natural Resource Minister, that America’s rival in international trade , China, will be seeing the oil that Obama doesn’t want in this country.
Obama has also stated that the decision came, because he felt the deadline established by Republicans was “rushed” and “arbitrary”, and that it prevented a “full assessment of the pipeline’s impact.” This run around by Obama is of his typical language when trying to sound like a decision he made wasn’t to appease the “activists” who are voting for him come election time. Of course, the fact that he made this decisions one month before the actual deadline does not help his claim.
One of the problems plaguing Obama’s decision is the fact that he has come out numerous times stating how he has wanted to create jobs for the American public. Yet, here we can see that he is deliberately sabotaging his own words by rejecting the proposal of the pipeline, which would create somewhere around the order of 10,000 U.S. jobs with its creation
It would seem that Obama is more concerned with the politics of the situation than the actual situation. Obama’s main reason for not supporting the proposal is because of the supposed impact that the Canadian Sand Hills area poses to the globe. But that isn’t the reason he is voting it down, it’s because he apparently needed more time to evaluate the region further.
House speaker Boehner lambasted Obama yesterday afternoon saying, “The president was given the authority to block this project only and only if he believes it’s not in the national interest of the United States. Is it not in the national interest to create tens of thousands of jobs here in America with private investment? Is it not in the national interest to get energy resources from an ally like Canada, as opposed to some countries in the Middle East?” It’s clear that Obama has no interest in creating jobs, but rather in promoting himself as an activist against fossil fuels, which can be seen in his latest ad campaign.
Boehner brings up a good point, though; Obama wants to eliminate dependence on oil, but yet we cling to the Middle East for our oil. How can the people of America move further in moving away from oil as a fuel if we continue to receive oil from the Middle East, a region which makes us pay exorbitant amounts of money for their oil? Furthermore, these countries provide little, if any, jobs for American people.
And since jobs are so crucial to Obama, he should really pay attention to what his decision has done to Canada. Not to their job market, but to where they look now that the plan has been rejected until 2013. Well, look no further than Canada’s Natural Resource Minister Joe Oliver who says the “decision by the Obama administration underlines the importance of diversifying and expanding our markets, including the growing Asian market.”
Progressive Environmentalists protesting the pipeline outside the Whitehouse
Which is funny considering Obama has said “Under my administration, domestic oil and natural gas production is up, while imports of foreign oil are down.” Oh, yeah? Are you talking about the natural gas that many of the same activists you are trying to please also hate, because of the supposed health risks “fracking” causes? But never mind that, this pipeline is a much bigger deal to the president, who obviously loves picking and choosing when he will be green.
Obama has said that he did not like the “rushed” deadline set by Republicans to approve this pipeline. If the deadline was truly “rushed”, why was the President declining the offer a full month before the deadline was set to end? And if he truly did not want the pipeline because of supposed environmental factors, why has he pushed it to 2013 for a new vote? Oh, it could not be because the upcoming presidential election, Obama would NEVER do something like that.
In the end, the only true winner is the President, who once again escapes having to make a decision that would affect his chances at being re-elected. Now the American public will still struggle to get jobs, and Canadian oil we import will become less available to us, because Canada will be shifting its gaze to Asia for shipping its oil. Forcing us to increase reliance on the very people Obama told us we would not have to rely on for oil.
This detrimental decision imposed was a case of dirty politics in favour of Obama. I hope you enjoy the votes, Obama, because you will need them when more Americans lose jobs thanks to your kick-the-can policies.
A little talked about aspect of the South Carolina Primary is an issue very popular with South Carolina Voters, the gold standard. With the recent endorsement of the gold standard by Newt Gingrich ahead of the South Carolina Primary, voters now have a clear choice between Romney, who has rejected the gold standard, Rick Santorum, who has steered clear of the gold standard altogether, and Newt Gingrich, who openly stands FOR the gold standard. Here is the statement the Gingrich campaign released:
Gingrich Calls for Creation of Commission on Gold To Examine How to Get Back to Hard Money
Columbia, SC – Newt Gingrich called today for the creation of a Gold Commission at a foreign policy forum sponsored by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition:
“We need to get our house in order. And we need to vaccinate ourselves against foreign contagion. The correct answer to the Euro is not to spend more American money propping up the Germans who prop up Southern Europe. The correct answer is to figure how we seal our banks off; how we make sure we protect ourselves and then say to the Europeans: you have a problem and you need to solve it.
Part of our approach ought to be to reestablish something Ronald Reagan did in 1981 and that is to have a Commission on Gold to look at the whole concept of how do we get back to hard money.
We need to repeal the Humphrey-Hawkins Act. We need to say to the Federal Reserve: your only job is to maintain the stability of the dollar because we want a dollar to be worth thirty years from now what it is worth now because that optimizes saving and investment because people know what they are going to back.
The very purpose of founding the Constitution was landowners and property owners who did not want inflation. And they felt that under the Articles of Confederation they were increasingly getting inflated paper money.
Hard money is a discipline. It means you can’t just hide from your problems; you’ve got to solve them. And you can’t inflate away your difficulties; you actually have to work them away. But I think it is very important for us to understand in finance that the entire contraption that has been built up over the last thirty or forty years has so much paper in it, so much debt, so much leverage, that we probably have a fifteen or twenty year period of working our way out of it.
And yet, the alternative is to get sicker and sicker and sicker.”

Santorumm Iowa Caucus
Santorum Wins Iowa Caucus: GOP Cronies Call It A “Tie”
Before the certified results were in, even with outstanding allegations of vote-counting errors, the Iowa GOP was in the tank for Romney, calling him a “winner” on the basis of an 8-point, unconfirmed lead. The Establishment then waxed eloquent about the “Romney win” and, after a not-suprising New Hampshire win (boosted by Democrats and Independents), the narrative was that Romney was the only candidate since the inception of dirt to win both Iowa and New Hampshire.
Now we have the certified results and, what do you know, a full 8 precints’ vote counts are declared “unreliable” and, while Santorum has won, with 34 votes, the GOP establishment is pushing the storyline that “it’s a tie.”
Santorum won, and many suspect, as we reported earlier, that somebody was monkeying around with the vote counts to ensure a Romney win. That we now have this new number and 8 whole precints’ numbers “gone” merely adds credence to such suspicions. The fix is in, and your vote is not important to the elites, who want what they want even if most of the People don’t want it.
Mitt Romney is the candidate of the center-right progressives who control the GOP, mere puppets of the Bush-Rove plutocracy and they will do whatever it takes to win.
While this controversy rages, Matt Strawn, the Iowa GOP chairman, went on TV to tout the importance of the Iowa caucuses, and tried to soft-peddle what was a botched vote. The problem for Strawn is that the Iowa GOP called Romney a winner, but now, with Santorum ahead by 34, it is called a tie. Strawn talked over Martha McCowen on FoxNews, ignoring her as he droned on, trying to miminimize the descrepencies, but everyone knows that Strawn, at best, is incompetent and, at worse, is monkeying with a vote count to help Mitt Romney.
The Santorum victory is being denied by the GOP establishment for no other reason but that they want Romney and will do anything to help him win.
Many are saying that this calls the whole Iowa claim to first-status into question. To claim to have a right to vote first before every other state and then be caught either fixing a vote or just flubbing it up badly doesn’t make much sense: perhaps a more just approach would be a lottery to choose the first few states and stop giving the same states a disproportionate voice in who will win their party’s nomination

Who really won the Iowa Caucus vote and who is being accused of potentially skewing the results?
What happened in an Appanoose County caucus where 53 people showed up in Moulton to cast their votes?
Edward True, a Ron Paul supporter from Moulton, looked at the caucus vote results on the GOP website that tallies each caucus’s vote totals and, to put it mildly, he begs to differ with the GOP numbers. According to True, the GOP chiefs claim, on their website, that their were 22 votes cast for Romney in a caucus of only 53 people. The problem is that if True is, well, true, then the actual vote for Romney was 2, not 22.
The Iowa GOP chiefs are circling the wagons claiming that True is not a precinct captain, has no official position, and should stop talking about results. Meanwhile, they refuse to actually discuss the election results, claiming that the vote has not yet been “certified.” But this changing of results did not stop the GOP chiefs from reversing other numbers after it was allegedly discovered that a vote tally in favor of Santorum was in favor of Romney instead.
Could it be that the Moulton Caucus results being potentially skewed by GOP chiefs are part of a bigger picture? Is the fix in for Romney and is this a nationwide problem?
Santorum for his part has downplayed the problem, but this may be seen as a lack of leadership on his part for what many see as a critical issue, the sanctity of the vote, if in fact more such alleged discrepencies appear.
Those who watched the tallies live were surprised by how long the count took to tabulate, which raised suspicious eyebrows, by vote reversals, and by the closeness of the race itself. Adding to all of that this latest allegation of faulty vote tallies and we begin to see a trend, a trend that some say demonstrates that the GOP chiefs are in the tank for Romney.
Even now, after this latest allegation, the GOP chiefs counter that “other” vote tallies in error had to be corrected in favor of Romney- what a coincidence. It’s almost, some say, as if the party chiefs are manufacturing “corrections” to favor Romney when their errors that favored Romney are uncovered.
Just who won Iowa may never be known, and that neither helps Romney nor endears the GOP to the People, who already see this party as an elitist haven for political insiders who have lost touch with reality, and calls the whole Iowa caucus into question.
Surging Threat Emerging In Middle East
Pan-Islamic Agenda Versus The People
All throughout the Middle East, average people, and people who don’t particularly like or want to live under Sharia law, face a growing prospect of extreme Pan-Islamic fundamentalism. The Arab Spring which so many, including the Freedomist, have cheered on is becoming a prelude to an Arab Dark Age dominated by bad actors who have no respect for human righs or basic human decency.
Why is this happening? Did the good people of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and now Syria riot in the streets for imposing more radical and constricting versions of Sharia law than their tyrants gave them?
Part of the problem is that Pan-Islam, like the USSR in the first few decades of the 20th century, has its share of Western apologists who excuse or gloss over its true nature, and who even blame Western actions for the excesses of the evildoers! People like Ron Paul have no clue what Pan-Islam is all about and what a fundamental and existential threat it poses to human freedom on this planet.
During the uprising in Iran against the Mullas, back in 2009, we invested ourselves and “technical resources” to assist the protestors in getting their message out and even in communicating with one another and we assisted in a concerted cyber-war against the regime. We had the sad experience of seeing some of the people we communicated with become martyrs. One I shall never forget told me via chat, “They’re coming now, goodbye, tell everyone I died for freedom.”
Many Muslims and others in the Middle East want to see freedom in an environment of love and tolerance. While we see apologists for Pan-Islam counseling us to not feel threatened or ooutraged by its practicioners, on the other hand we see some painting all Muslims and Arabs with this borad brush, not even caring about the heart’s cry of so many people for true freedom. I remember urging conservatives to help the Iranian people and being tol things like “they’re Muslim, why should we help them” or “Iranians hate us”.
We should care, as people, for the freedom of all people and whoever is willing to fight for their freedom should be able to count on the support of free people! As the tyrants of Pan-Islam use the discontent of the people to fool some into supporting them and to weasel their way into power, it is the common person, who wants nothing to do with such an agenda, that loses. Without any external support, intellectual, spiritual, or material, average people find themselves dominated by a top-down system that insists it knows best what people should believe and how they should act.
Pan-Islam is making life a living hell for everyone that comes under it sway, only the top people, the sheiks and mullahs at the top, benefit. Perhaps this is the reason why so many Progressives are apologists for Pan-Islam: they secretly admire the power the Pan-Islamists are gaining and wish they had such power themselves.
People who want to be free will always have as much of our support as we can offer, now matter where they are from and no matter what their religion.
Ron Paul told Jay Leno that Rick Santorum hates Muslims, that Michelle Bachman hates Muslims, and that Rick Perry hates Muslims and homosexuals. So, according to this thinking, every effort to fight Islamic extremist violence and terrorism or imperialism, such as Iran’s imperial ambitions, can be chalked up to a conspiracy by his opponents in the primary race based on hatred for Muslims.

Kim Jong Un Replaces Kim Jong Il- Hawkish 29 Year Old Rules North Korea
The portly, competitive, and self-absorbed heir of Kim Jong Il, who breathed his last on the 17th or 18th of December, is a son of privilege who went to private schools in Switzerland and who is known in many circles to be rather hawkish with regards to North Korea’s foreign policy. Kim Jong Un does not have the experience to lead a troop of window washers let alone a nation, but his petulant fingers will control North Korea’s nuclear weapons. » Read more..
US Troops Reported In Jordan
We are seeing numerous unconfirmed reports that US forces are inside of Jordan at this hour, but their intentions and their planned length of stay is not known.
While some reports claim that US forces are deployed opposite of the Syrian border with Jordan to forestall Syrian forays into the Hashemite Kingdom, other possibilities are far less ominous.
When the US went to war against Iraq, American forces transited through Jordan from Aqaba and some deployed to help with Iraqi refugees.
This may be what is happening now US forces may be transiting in reverse, from Iraq via Jordan to the port of Aqaba. Additionally, US forces may be helping with Syrian refugees.
If, however, US forces have deployed to Jordan to defend against a possible Syrian incursion, this would violate the spirit and letter of the War Powers act, placing US forces in potential combat zones without even a nod towards Congress. This would prove controversial in the extreme, especially in today’s political climate.
If US forces have deployed from Iraq to Jordan to stave off a potential Syrian move it would most likely be the result of some form of substantiated intelligence. The Syrian regime is still smarting over an incursion of Syrian protestors into Jordan who attacked their embassy in Amman and may also be targeting refugees with operatives who infiltrate the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. The threat, therefore, may be more covert than overt and merely having US forces “pause” en route to Aqaba could be enough.
Other possibilities, however, include a potential positioning of forces for a new Libya-like intervention should the opposition in Syria materialize into a cohesive force that can take and hold territory. The “no-fly zone” approach has been used with telling effect against Serbia, Saddam Hussein, and Qhadafi. US ground forces would prevent an incursion into Jordan and could even protect Iraq, whose government is alarmed at the possibility of being flooded with Syrian refugees.
The transiting of US troops out of Iraq through Jordan makes perfect sense however it is possible that this could be a good cover for other purposes as well.
