If the personal
freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees."
Got news for you folks: John McCain is a socialist. In fact, he's following the patterns of national socialism, otherwise known as Nazism. While we're not quite up to 40's Germany, we've progressed quite a bit since the US version of the Reichstag fire.
On the other hand, Obama isn't merely a socialist; he's a full blown communist, and his own statements prove this. Which means that if "socialist" means "black", then calling him a socialist is doubly true. The only reason McCain hasn't accused Obama of being a commie yet is because it's too soon before the elections.
Now, aside from the whole global warming thing being a fraud in the first place, this means Mr. Obama wants to micromanage everyone's lives, in order to enforce fairness.
I was very disappointed by Ron Paul's campaign; if Mr. Paul were to try and run the country the way he ran his campaign, we'd have a huge authoritarian mess on our hands. I can't support his Presidential campaign any more.
Obviously neither McCain nor either Democratic candidate-for-disaster tickles my fancy either; we'll see if the nerf Libertarian party picks someone I could half-respect. I'll probably stay home next November.

I don't remember who turned me on to Jim Clark's web site, but I'm glad someone did. There are some great videos on the Liberty page; I recommend:
After reading a response by a true libertarian to a letter asking for thoughts about "solving" gang violence, I noted one of his suggestions, eliminating minimum wage laws, and thought it could use some additions. Elimination of child labor laws, and killing off the public education system itself, would also be needed. Apprenticeship may seem old-fashioned, but it's the best way for kids to learn to master various specialties, and schools can't cut it. What would happen if, for instance, a young Thomas Edison were to be put in today's school system?
I was going to point out a link to a biography of Edison, and then pose that question to all you folks, and what do you know but they beat me to it!
Biography Of Thomas Alva Edison At age seven - after spending 12 weeks in a noisy one-room schoolhouse with 38 other students of all ages - Tom's overworked and short tempered teacher finally lost his patience with the child's persistent questioning and seemingly self centered behavior. Noting that Tom's forehead was unusually broad and his head was considerably larger than average, he made no secret of his belief that the hyperactive youngster's brains were "addled" or scrambled... If modern psychology had existed back then, Tom would have probably been deemed a victim of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and prescribed a hefty dose of the "miracle drug" Ritalin.
