The official announcement of his exploratory team:

Libertarians and Constitutionalists need to jump ship.

If you are a Libertarian or Constitutionalist and you live in a state that has closed primaries you need to join (if only temporarily) the Republican Party so you can vote for Ron Paul. He was, after all, the 1988 Libertarian Party nominee for the Presidency and he is now reaching for it again, this time with the possible support of a “major” party and a greater chance. The primaries are going to be the biggest hurdle for his campaign and he needs your support now more than ever, especially since he will be up against the likes of John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.

If he does make it through the primaries, he will easily be elected as the next President of the United States. With the backing of Libertarians, Constitutionalists and Republicans there will be no way for the Democratic nominee to come out on top.

So here is the trick: Swallow your pride and join the Republican Party. Then we might just end up with a Libertarian President, or at least the closest thing we’ve had in the past 220 years.

Watch the news report: 

Can you say excessive force?  According to the witnesses, the skateboarder was on his knees when the police handcuffed then tackled him.  They then proceeded to tase him while he was lying on the ground.  The police claimed they only tased him twice (which is excessive for someone who is not being violent) but witnesses claim he was tased several times.

Coming of the heels of the UCLA taser incident, Im really starting to get tired of this shit.

A Pittsburgh girl was recently arrested for taking nude photos of herself and sending them to people she met in chat rooms on the internet. Among her charges were possession of child porn (for having the pictures stored on her hard drive), sexual abuse of children (for taking the pictures of herself) and dissemination of child porn (for distributing the pictures).

In America, the Land of the Free, a minor is not allowed to take nude pictures of herself. Not only is it not allowed, but it is considered to be child porn, and the act of taking the pictures is considered child abuse. A minor can actually be charged for sexually abusing herself. Whats next? Is masturbation going to be considered child molestation for minors?

Also, don’t forget that a child porn charge makes her a sex offender at the ripe, old age of fifteen. That means that she faces the stigma of being put in sex offender databases for the rest of her life. Some places require that sex offenders live a certain distance from schools, parks, and churches. Will her parents have to move her if they live to close to any of those places? Or will the state just take her away?

Next thing you know, a 17-year-old is going to be arrested for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old. Oh wait, that already happened.

I recently stumbled across a great article by Stefan Molyneux entitled, “The Gun in the Room“, over at LewRockwell.com. I highly suggest reading the whole thing. The first paragraph is as follows:

One of the most difficult – and essential – challenges faced by libertarians is the constant need to point out “the gun in the room.” In political debates, it can be very hard to cut through the endless windy abstractions that are used to cover up the basic fact that the government uses guns to force people to do what they do not want to do, or prevent them from doing what they do want to do. Listening to non-libertarians, I often wish I had a “euphemism umbrella” to ward off the continual oily drizzle of words and phrases designed to obscure the simple reality of state violence. We hear nonstop nonsense about the “social good,” the “redistribution of income,” the “education of children” and so on – endless attempts to bury the naked barrel of the state in a mountain of syrupy metaphors.

The article then goes on to explain how every political debate can be boiled down to pointing out the gun in the room. If someone supports taxes, point out the gun in the room. If someone supports the war on drugs, point out the gun in the room. The list goes on. Molyneux uses the public school system as a good example. The debate is not about whether or not public schools are a good thing, but rather, whether or not I am allowed to disagree with the idea of a public school system without the fear of being shot. This is not the case. If I do not believe that publicly funded schools should exist and, in turn, do not pay my property taxes I will be shot. Sure, that outcome may not be immediate, but it will happen when the government tries to take my house and I am prepared to defend it. So the next time you are in a political debate with someone who hates liberty, simply point out the gun in the room and urge them to take out all the bullets. Then, you might be able to get somewhere with them.

I always wondered how the world would end, but now it seems very clear. Mooninites, in what seems to be the first phase of a plan to take over the world, have placed bombs in Boston and nine other cities. The explosive devices depict the Mooninite leaders Ignignokt and Err making an obscene hand gesture. Luckily the Boston police were able to quickly discover the bombs (within three weeks) and disarm them before anyone was hurt. The bombs have also been removed from the other cities.

The two men accused of helping the Mooninites place the bombs in the Boston area have decided to plead not guilty.

No one knows what the next phase of the attack will be, but it may have something to do with the new movie the Mooninites are releasing. Experts suggest that it is unsafe to watch the movie, as there may be some type of subliminal brainwashing used in the film. Whatever the next phase may be, we must be prepared, even if it means cracking down on civil liberties and privacy. I just hope that the governments and bureaucrats of the world will be able to protect us from this danger. Those 1980’s 2-D video game sprites are scary, but I think we can prevail.
