Don't let the media choose the GOP nominee!
Over the weekend the Ohio GOP organization held it's state wide straw poll.
Complete results
Ron Paul 53.50%
Herman Cain 25.47%
Mitt Romney 8.88%
Everyone else had 5% or less.
When active duty military soldiers reach into their own pockets to help support a Presidential Candidate Pre-Primary, who do they support? Overwhelmingly they support Ron Paul. Yes, the man who many claim is un-American, the man who they say doesn't support our troops, has once again received the most Campaign contributions for the 3rd quarter from active duty servicemen. Also, he raised 2 to 1 support over President Obama, who raised a total less then in the 2nd quarter. Not only has Ron Paul received the most campaign contributions but he alone has raised more money so far than Barrack Obama and ALL the Republican Candidates COMBINED, from Active Duty Military.
Of course a little over $100,000 isn't enough to win the election, and it's a far cry from the nearly $36 Million that Mitt Romney has raised. But when you decide who to support for President in 2012 are you going to choose a candidate supported by big money or a man who is favored by the good men and women who risk their lives defending freedom across the world. No matter how you feel about the foreign wars or whether you agree with Ron Paul on everything he stands for, don't you think the soldiers choice should matter more than the big money influences that propel RINO's like Mitt Romney and Rick Perry to front runner status?
I do, and I plan to support Ron Paul for the GOP nomination.
If you support the troops, I ask you to support the candidate who the troops support.
Support Ron Paul
Norman Thomas ran for president six consecutive times from 1928 as a U.S. Socialist Party candidate. He said, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
We currently are living in a nation which rests on most of the planks of communism, even though we still look at the U.S.A as a free nation. Most people don't realize we've lost most of those freedom many years ago. This current Occupy Wall street movement is the latest push to keep the pillars of the Communist Manifesto alive and well.
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto:
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocation's and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.
The Occupy Wall Street youngsters are too ignorant to realize that they have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in government schools and by Hollywood and the media that they have no idea how they are being used by labor unions and other leftist organizations. The protesters are calling for free college educations. The unions were protesting against the loss of collective bargaining with governments that determine their pension and health benefits, all paid for with public funding. Is it any wonder why people such a myself are warning against the Communist Roots of these protests?
Americans better insist that Capitalism emerges stronger from this organized anarchy. If not, Karl Marx and the foolish leftists will succeed in destroying what is left of our great Nation.

TEA Party leaders (TPL's) often plan months in advance for a rally.
Occupy Protestors (OP's) also planned months in advance.
TPL's obtain permission to use a location which often times also included obtaining permits and insurance polices.
OP's Just show up in a large crowd disrupting everyone else. This includes but is not limited to Reducing business to the surrounding shops, Blocking traffic which prevents people from being able to get to the hospitals and any other place requiring access to a major bridge.
TPL's make sure to provide locations for participants to have access to washrooms. Sometimes they even order porta-potties just to be sure.
OP's pee in the bushes and shit into plastic bags and expect the local businesses to dispose of their waste. Then they bitch and moan because the owners of the private property they occupy, want to clean said property.
TPL's are often canceled due to political pressures on those who have granted use of private locations. Despite this frustration, NO TEA PARTY EVENT HAS EVER BEEN VIOLENT.
OP's use the power of their numbers to scare weak political leaders into bending over for them due to fear of violent retaliation. Then they threaten boycotts on local businesses that do not wish to grant them public access to their shops.
TPL's show respect for their leaders, even when they disagree with them, they often provide a platform for them to show up and explain themselves. This is often ignored by those leaders but it is almost always available.
OP's refuse to let senior members of the political organizations they are "Protesting" to speak. (They have allowed a select few members of Congress to pat them on the back, but only when they knew the response would be positive)
Summary:
TPL's have a history of respectful protest and despite this track record they are treated poorly by many. They are often prevented from organizing new events in fear that there may be violence and retaliation.
OP's literally shit on private property while dancing naked and have become darlings to the media and the left wing members of Congress.

The folks protesting Wall Street probably have no idea what kind of impact losing these high paying jobs is going to have on the overall economy. Keep in mind these are private sector job, not government jobs. Wall Street alone accounts for 1 in 8 jobs in New York City, and 14% of the States revenue. The average salary in the Securities Industry is five time larger than anywhere else in the city, it's above $350,000.00. Some early speculation suggests that we could lose 16% of these jobs before the end of the year if things don't improve. Keep in mind that these jobs all fall in the "evil rich" percentile, who also pay a third of all the income taxes, so this hit could amount to a Billion dollars in lost revenue to the Federal Government.
These are the people who the "Occupy" protesters want to hurt right? But who is going to make up the difference? Especially if Obama get's his wish, spending an additional $450 Billion. Evey dime the government spends must first be taken from someone by force. I sure hope we have enough rich people left when the bill comes due.

My thoughts about the Occupy Wall street Protests now spreading across the country.
I think it's sad. It's incoherent and it doesn't make any sense. Few of them seem to have any idea what they are actually protesting and the ones who do have an idea are largely not interested in liberty or freedom but rather revenge on the rich. Have you read their list of demands? It sounds like a communist party platform. From “free” education and health care to a guaranteed “living wage”. The forced abandonment of fossil fuels, and the forgiveness of all debt on a planetary scale. These would require the forcible seizure of private property, and the compulsion of “desirable” behavior by an extremely powerful government. Far from agitating for any species of liberty, even the kind envisioned by the hopelessly lazy and disaffected, these protesters are demanding the final dissolution of economic liberty. Anarchy is the handmaiden of tyranny. Anarchist movements are never followed by increased liberty.
There are a few good idea's mixed in there somewhere but it's all terribly misguided. Most of them are just angry and envious of the the wealthy. Many are only there because this is being sold as an anti-TEA Party movement. They blame the rich and the corporations for issues that are really the fault of Congress and our Federal Government and when you try to point this out to them, all they can say is no you're lying, you don't have the facts. The TEA party folks want to cut spending and get things under control, this movement is all about more spending, extreme spending. They want to right off all Student loans, and give away free college education. They want everything to be Nationalized, and they aren't afraid to say it out loud. Honestly this is the anti-TEA party.
Oregon gets $5 million Bonus for issuing Food Stamps
This week officials in Oregon reported that the USDA has given the state $5 million in “performance bonuses” for signing up people eligible for food benefits and its “swift processing of applications.” This money is in addition to the 1.5 million award for making “accurate payments of food stamp benefits to clients.” Clients, really? Could this be why the number of food-stamp beneficiaries in Oregon has increased dramatically in the last few years? Since 2008 the state has seen a 60% boost in the number of food-stamp recipients, which means that more than 780,000 people (one out of five Oregonians) get groceries compliments of Uncle Sam.
This marks the fifth year in a row that Oregon has been “recognized” by the Fed's for “exceptional administration” of the entitlement program, according to the article posted on the states Department of Human Services website. The state official who runs SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) assures that her staff will “continue working very hard to exceed expectations” so that Oregonians can “put healthy foods on their table quickly.”
And if that isn't bad enough for you, they are also giving the state a two-year grant to test an new program to further streamline the process of getting food-stamps to their "clients" This will make it even easier for people to get food stamps because it grants state officials a waiver that allows them to grant the benefit without even interviewing the candidate.
This sounds like a great opportunity for even more fraud in the ever expanding universe of entitlement spending. Will we ever be able to get this under control?
Cheers,
Mike
