We spend 50% more per year on corporate welfare than social welfare. Which makes sense since corporations are people. People that create jobs. In China.

There’s so much suffering in the world. It can all get pretty overwhelming sometimes. Consider, for a moment the sorrow in the eyes of a CEO who’s just found out that his end-of-year bonus is only going to be a paltry $2.3 million.

“It felt like a slap in the face. Imagine what it would feel like just before Christmas to find out that you’re going to be forced to scrape by on your standard $8.4 million compensation package alone. Imagine what is was like to have to look into my daughter’s face and tell her that I couldn’t afford to both buy her a dollar sign shaped island and hire someone to chew her food from now on, too. To put her in that situation of having to choose… She’s only a child for God’s sake.”

What many idiots fail to realize is that the Constitution provides a framework for government, not laws.



Prohibition and like proposals are after-the-fact, aberrant abuses/attempted abuses of the Constitution.

what would ron paul do?
(Reuters) - U.S. special forces swooped into Somalia on Wednesday and rescued an American and a Dane after a killing their nine kidnappers, in a rare raid into the Horn of Africa nation to free foreign captives.

American Jessica Buchanan, 32, and Poul Hagen Thisted, 60, of Denmark, humanitarian aid workers for a demining group, had been kidnapped from the town of Galkayo in the semi-autonomous Galmudug region in October.

"This is yet another message to the world that the United States of America will stand strongly against any threats to our people," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.

The rescue team included forces hailing from the same elite Navy SEAL unit that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden last year in a raid on his compound in Pakistan, a U.S. official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

But other services also formed part of the assault team, and it was not clear that any of the same SEALs were involved in both raids even if they came from the same unit, known as SEAL Team Six.

"All nine captors were killed during the assault," the U.S. military's Germany-based Africa Command said.

Ron Paul; now with 50% more sedition!
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who is leaving Congress this year after a failed presidential bid and passing the pseudo-libertarian torch to his senator son, defended the post-Obama reelection secession boomlet today in his weekly newsletter to supporters.

After the election, a number of petitions emerged promoting the idea of red states fleeing Obama’s America, something that we thought went out of fashion in the 1860s. Pro-secession petitions hosted on the White House website that allows citizens to start letter-signing campaigns garnered almost 700,000 signatures from all 50 states. Soon, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan sympathizers cast their lot with disgruntled conservatives.

Most political leaders dismissed the calls for secession, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who had dipped his own toe in the secessionist waters in the past. But not Paul, ever the iconoclast, who used his farewell bid to Congress last week to call his colleagues “psychopathic.” Here’s what he said in his weekly newsletter and audio update to supporters:

Is all the recent talk of secession mere sour grapes over the election or perhaps something deeper? … Secession is a deeply American principle. This country was born through secession. Some thought it was treasonous to secede from England, but those “traitors” became our country’s greatest patriots. [...]

If the possibility of secession is completely off the table there is nothing to stop the federal government from continuing to encroach on our liberties, and no recourse for those who are sick and tired of it. … And if people or states are not free to leave the United States as a last resort, can they really think of themselves as free? If a people cannot secede from an oppressive government they cannot truly be considered free.

This isn’t the first time Paul has voiced his support for secession. When Perry suggested Texas had a right to leave the U.S. in 2009, Paul defended him, calling secession a “legitimate issue.”

Front Range, dude...
No weaning to be done...just yank that teat right out of their idiot mouthes. Immediately stop funding every Federal office, project and program. Bring them all "home" along with any military bases in said state...they want to fly solo, let 'em.
