Dear Mr Bob Barr,
You have been doing a huge disservice to the Libertarian Party during this election. First you snub Ron Paul’s 3rd Party Press Conference and now you refuse to show up at the 3rd Party debates being held this Sunday. Grow the fuck up and get your head out of your ass, Mr. Barr.
I have been fighting for and championing greater access to debates for the 3rd parties. People need to hear the Libertarian platform in these trying times. You are doing the country a great disservice by refusing to debate other 3rd party candidates. You are behaving like a petulant child, probably because Ron Paul has failed to endorse you and the fact that Dr Paul has single-handedly blown the LP out of the water in terms of financing and following.
Instead of trying to win over the hearts and minds of liberty loving americans, your campaign has been busy bad mouthing other 3rd party cantidates and alienating members of the freedom movement brought in by Ron Paul. This is neither the time nor the place for such petty attacks. Your campaign is really starting to turn off a lot of people in the freedom movement. I sometimes believe that you are still working for the CIA, as an agent provocateur, to discourage and break up the movement. Ron Paul scared the establishment and you come in to divide and conquer.
If indeed you are a true Libertarian and pro-liberty, start acting like it. IF I do decide to vote for your sorry excuse for a Libertarian ass, I will do so in the spirit of the party and its ideals. I will not be casting a vote in favor of Bob Barr, because sir, I do not like you. I wanted to like you, I’ve tried to like you, but you make it so hard. You sir, are an asshole.
Even though I endorsed you on my website last week, I now encourage those who cannot look past your problems to write in Dr Ron Paul. It’s better than giving a vote to you and endorsing your bullshit.
Show up to the debate Sunday. Win. Spread the cause. Shit or get off the pot.
It is a rare occurrence when I would quote Jerry Garcia, but “Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil” is very poignant with the election coming up. How is it, that many people will say they arent particularly happy with our two main choices for president, yet still vote for “the lesser of 2 evils”? How did we get to this situation?
This week the counter-convention to the Republican National Convention, for the Ron Paul Revolution, was held, the Rally for the Republic. CSPAN-2 was kind enough to air the entire eventC on Tuesday, 9/2/2008. Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura gave an amazing speech at the rally. If you missed the TV coverage, I’ve included the speech below. You must watch it. Please share the video with your friends and family and please leave comments with your thoughts below, I am very interested in what you think.
That’s right, Ron Paul is still relevant and still fighting for the cause of Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution. Earlier this week he organized a counter-convention in St. Paul, MN opposite the Republican National Convention. His event was called the Rally for the Republic, and drew over 15,000 freedom loving Americans to the Target Center.
The Rally for the Republic was even carried on CSPAN-2 on Tuesday 9/2/2008 in it’s entirety, and was probably more press coverage than Dr. Paul got during his entire race for the nomination. Better late than never I guess, as the message is still very important, maybe even more-so now than ever.
Since dropping out of the 2008 race for the republican presidential nomination, his organization has transitioned into the Campaign For Liberty. Ron Paul’s people say that there is a major announcement coming next week, so keep your eyes out for that.
Ron Paul made an appearance on the Colbert Report last night on 9/4/2008. Check it out:

I was planning on doing an in depth article about why everything is getting more expensive. It’s a perfect storm of high oil prices, weak US Dollar, high food prices, weak economy and unsustainable wars waged by the United States. Its a fairly complex problem with a very real and simple outcome: Us average folks get screwed. We have to cope with high prices for everything, unemployment, and uncertainty about the future. Instead of doing the long article I was thinking about doing, watch this short video clip from GOOD Magazine about Oil Addiction. It does a decent job of quickly summarizing what is going on in the world to create all of this havoc.
You know the economy is bad when you see this…
(…and YES I took this photo myself in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at Badger Guns & Ammo, so if you use it, please give some credit)
I find that most people do not understand how money and credit work, how it came to be, and why the economy functions as it does. These are basic concepts that aren’t really taught in school. It’s amazing that when you try to explain these things to people, their eyes glaze over and they are not interested, despite the fact that virtually everyone living in a capitalist society has to handle some form of money.
I think most people would be amazed if they found out that banks create money out of “thin air”, most would even disbelieve the concept. Banks create money out of debt. When you go to take a loan from a bank, you are not borrowing on someone else’s savings, the bank is basically printing the money on demand. Our economy survives because people are in debt. If all debt were to be repaid, there would be virtually no money left. It boggles the mind.
The following video “Money As Debt” breaks down how our money system works in simple terms, that is easy for anyone to understand. I believe everyone should watch this video at least once to gain a basic understanding on how the monetary system works, and what it means for you and your family. This video simply lays out “how it is”. Enjoy.
