Yess, these are my people....... It is going to be an interesting campaign, to say the least. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to donate. Now, procrastinators of the world, unite! Sometime later.......

The way an Iraqi friend explained it to me is, they fear Britanny Spears more than Pat Robertson. Many of the things we subscribe as Islamic are actually cultural, and vary greatly from region to region. In Saudi Arabia, a woman would never go in public without her head and face covered, in...

I remember another election, and another candidate for the White House who came to my little local junior college and spoke to the 35 or so students who showed up. He did a 30 minute Q and A after the stump speech, and my question was, what do you see as the single largest threat to the U.S...

It is clearly stated in the Constitution that the national defense is the responsibility of the Commander in Chief as executive and the Congress to properly equip. Think of the massive reduction in daily demand for equipment, allowing more time for maintenance, upgrades and training if we were...

Why did Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd just jump into my mind?

I was talking to a young man the other day, really decent guy with a wife and 2 kids. As he is an engineer, he understands math, so imagine my absolute horror when he mentions his mortgage payment is 2200 a month, on a 55k per annum salary! Who are the nutjobs who approved this, and tell me...

Exactly correct, and this is where he will either make it or break it. Dr. Paul does not equate well with 15 second soundbytes, as his well thought out ideas require some time to explain and more time to digest. I think he will show the American public something they are not used to, in a...

With all due respect, read the Clinton's history about the first time they used the health care tactic to get Bill elected. The final bill was so bad, Ted Kennedy voted against it. They have NO intention of providing national health care, but they know it is a useful scare tactic and can...

Well, CNN had better get over it. We are the unpolished, the unsophisticated, the unwashed (OK, maybe not, as I just got out of the shower) equal parts NASCAR, MTV, BET and the OC. Our ancestors were the same way, many of whom could not read or write, yet still picked up their muskets and...

My daily carry is a Colt Govt. Model 70 .380 ACP, the wife's is a Charter Arms .38 Special Off Duty (knew it was love at first sight when she wanted to go to the dirt pit and shoot for a first date. Her dad came along and apparently I passed the test) Home protection are a Remington 870 12 ga...

As an intermittent listener of Beck for the past several years, I think many of his personal views mirror Dr. Paul's, especially the borders and immigration. We stand the best chance of getting a fair shot with Glenn Beck as one can hope for from any interview he will conduct. Beck WILL be...

This is an excellent question, and one of my reservations about Dr. Paul. What he proposes is going to throw this country into shock on a lot of levels, not the least being exactly what will Congress' powers be if he is elected? The Constitutional directives for Congress' powers, and the...

My personal bullet point response is, "Then you are exactly where those who manipulate our lives want you to be!" I'm not a big conspiracy guy, but anyone in business knows it is all about marketing. I just point out that every time Dr. Paul's name comes up on most of the talking heads shows...

As one of the hard liners myself, the best explanation I've been able to make, to at least get folks to go to his website, is that the centrists of both parties realize they only need 10% of the central voters to get elected. Promise more free bread and circus, and whoever promises the most gets...
