The Public School system is a dying brand folks. Watch this video and see the future.

The Washington Post has learned that the Pentagon plans to deploy 20,000 US troops domestically to help state and local officials respond to a “nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe”.

Are you kidding me? This is patently absurd. You are 1048 times more likely to die in a car accident than a terrorist attack and yet they still try to feed us this line.

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

The picture above is of the Boston Massacre in which domestic troops attacked, with musket fire, a group of unarmed civilians. It was the first violent step toward the American Revolution.

It might seem a little sensational but I think we can all agree that the Patriot Act + Domestic Troops = A bad situation.

Read all about it.

The US electorate seems to believe that the office of President is equivalent to a King or some other monarch. This isn’t the case. POTUS (President of the United States) is a position in the executive branch of the federal government. He is not even elected by the people (the Electoral College elect the POTUS). The President’s most important powers are selecting the Judiciary (with Congressional approval), sitting as Commander in Chief of the military, and vetoing Congressionally approved bills before they become law as a check to their power. Nothing more.

This whole President worship thing started when Abraham Lincoln abused his executive office power, declared himself dictator, suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus, jailed his dissenters and started an unnecessary war with the Confederate States of America which claimed the lives of over 600,000 Americans. Abraham Lincoln’s Constitutional violations made George W. Bush look like Thomas Jefferson, yet he is still the most celebrated POTUS of all time. He has an enormous monument in DC, he’s on the penny and the $5 bill, and no one even knows about the mock-dictatorship he helmed for 4 years during the Civil War. His Kingly image has been wiped clean. I do not use the image above to condone violence (an act that I find barbaric and atrocious, except as a last resort), I use it simply to illustrate the cause and effect of certain actions. The assassination of anyone is an untenable offense, but historically it is the most common end of both patriots and tyrants.

How many people can name the nine members of the current US Supreme Court? How many even know what they look like? Even closer to home, how many of you can name your Senator or Congressman? So why should the President, a non elected official of lesser power, be anymore celebrated than the Congressmen and Senators who we actually put into office with our votes? The only members of the federal government who we directly vote into office are the members of the Legislative Branch. The Congressmen/women and Senators who’s names you don’t even know. 

You want to orchestrate real CHANGE in this country? Turning the POTUS into a celebrity is going to get you nowhere. We as an electorate have to wise up, we’ve been tricked into thinking that we are in control of the direction our country takes while they downplay the only weapon we really have for making the federal government do what we want. Read the Constitution and get on the same page folks. We want liberty, in which we are all individually equal, but are quickly heading back to the days of tyranny where a select few sit on top and tell the peasants how to act, think, speak, dress, and raise their families. Fight back the war is not over just yet.

Yes, you heard me right. I am a black man who didn’t vote for Obama. But before the Neo-Cons start dancing with glee I did not vote for that crotchety fart John McCain either. My reasoning is simple, neither of these men are best equipped to be President of the United States of America. They were put in place to keep the status quo and will be no different than the men who came before them. Politically they are both turds. Ron Paul was the answer but that opportunity left as soon as it came (more on him in the future).

Barack Obama is an attractive, intelligent man of direct African descent. He attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. His credentials are undeniably impressive but don’t necessarily make him a good candidate for POTUS (President of the United States).

I’m not talking about experience or decision making capabilities. The problem with President-Elect Obama is he like so many politicians before him will not take his Presidential Oath of office seriously. It’s a simple oath laid out in Article II, Section I of the US Constitution.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Every President since Washington has taken this oath and sadly only a handful have followed it to the letter. Simply Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States and you’ve kept your promise.

My political ideology is strict Constitutionalist. I carry a combination Declaration of Independence and US Constitution in my back pocket at all times. I even have a US Constitution application for my iPhone. I hold this document in a position of reverence. It is the single most succinct and important document to ever govern a group of people.

Our Union, the United States of America is not a country in the traditional sense. It is a group of 50 separate countries (states) which follow a common charter, The US Constitution. So long as the states do not violate this charter they may conduct business in their state in whatever manner they see fit. 

The federal government is meant to do nothing more than enforce the regulations set forth in the US Constitution, but after 2 centuries I’m afraid we have drifted far off the Founding Father’s original mark. The federal government is now a bloated entity filled with bureaucracy and greed. Without swift action our Union will never return to its former glory.

My country (state) is Texas. It was where I was born and I still spend the majority of my time there. I wave its flag with more pride than the flag which represents the United States.

I am a Texan first and an American second.
