Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights; it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is man's deadliest enemy. It is not as protection against private actions, but against governmental actions that the Bill of Rights was written.

U.S. money for Russia is linked to Iran nuclear plant
"What policy logic justifies DOE funding Russian institutes which are providing nuclear technology to Iran?"
The United States government is always in the process of creating our future enemies. It is only logical in this sense. It is a process that has worked over and over again, from financial, technological, and food aid to the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Saddam Hussein, and nearly every other "enemy" we have ever had. It is the chaos that is created that benefits the "National Security", because it is really all about people control, and nothing "secures" the "homeland" better than a good old fashioned THREAT!

But in the wake of a string of reports that the country is fast becoming a failed state and a humanitarian disaster, as armed attacks on western troops and Afghan forces multiply and Nato splits down the middle over sending reinforcements, that looks ever more other-worldly. The US coordinator on Iraq, David Satterfield, even suggested last month that Iraq would turn out to be America's "good war", while Afghanistan was going "bad". After a conflict that has already lasted longer than the second world war, Paddy Ashdown, rejected at the last minute as UN proconsul in Kabul, was clearly closer to the mark than Brown when he declared: "We are losing in Afghanistan."

That's a shame, because Wilson's two terms in office provide the clearest historical window into the soul of progressivism. Wilson's racism, his ideological rigidity, and his antipathy toward the Constitution were all products of the progressive world view. And since "progressivism" is suddenly in vogue – today's leading Democrats proudly wear the label – it's worth actually reviewing what progressivism was and what actually happened under the last full-throated progressive president.
The record should give sober pause to anyone who's mesmerized by the progressive promise.
Wilson, like the bulk of progressive intellectuals in fin-de-siècle America, was deeply influenced by three strands of thought: philosophical Pragmatism, Hegelianism, and Darwinism. This heady intellectual cocktail produced a drunken arrogance and the conviction that the old rules no longer applied.

The relaxing of restrictions on the use of the weapons comes despite warnings that they could trigger a heart attack in youngsters.

As a United States Congressman, I take my oath to uphold all of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights very seriously. Unfortunately, too many in Washington DC believe they can pick-and-choose which provisions of the constitution they can uphold. For example, many politicians, judges, and bureaucrats believe they have the power to disregard our right to own guns, even though the second amendment explicitly guarantees the people's right to "keep and bear arms."
Like the Founding Fathers, I believe that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to a free society. Where law-abiding citizens are most freely allowed to defend themselves, communities are safer, while crime rises when law-abiding people's access to firearms is restricted. Gun laws only disarm those who respect the law. Those with criminal tendencies do not turn in their weapons and reform their ways because government bureaucrats enact statutes that tell them to. Gun control laws turn peaceful citizens into sitting ducks for criminals to prey upon.

Vehicle licensing fees in Washington State could spike dramatically, all in the name of global warming. Six Seattle Democrats in the state Senate are trying to push through a bill that would require the Department of Licensing to collect a greenhouse gas tax. Sponsors say the tax in Senate Bill 6923 is an effective way to fight global warming by giving the state more money to fund transportation alternatives. If it passes, there will be an extra tax on your yearly license tab fees, based on EPA estimated miles per gallon your vehicle gets. The bill states vehicles getting below 15 miles per gallon will be charged between $200 and $240 extra every year. Vehicles that get between 15 and 25 miles per gallon, will pay $100 to $180 dollars extra every year. Vehicles getting over 26 miles per gallon, will pay between $40 and $100 extra every year.

If John McCain's online bio is correct, can he even be president? I posit that he cannot. He is listed as being born in the Panama Canal Zone. The PCZ was never under the jurisdiction of the United States but rather, it was leased to the United States.
That said, check out what the U.S. Constitution says about presidential eligibility at Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. "
If John McCain was born outside the jurisdiction of the United States, then he is NOT a natural born citizen no matter what his parents or he signed him up for after his birth! He can be a senator but he CANNOT be eligible for president. The same holds true for Arnold Schwarzenegger who would love to be president.
as well.
Now if McCain IS elected and sworn in as president it will be unconstitutional. But what the heck, we don't seem to be willing to demand that the Constitution (federal or state) be honored anyway!

Apparently, the Congress can simply ignore the Constitution and treason no longer exists in it's classic, Constitutional sense. Treason cannot be committed against the Constitution, but only against the "National Security" of the State, and whatever that State is directed to become.
The majority of the citizens know nothing of the Constitution and couldn't care less. It is proven by candidates like Ron Paul, who is at least talking the talk.....he is being rejected by the very people who are interested in politics and our collective political future. If they will not support a candidate who supports the Constitution, then the people are nothing more than lemmings to be driven into the sea.
