Huckabee Outted: NOT a "consistent conservative" as claimed

Huckabee gets called to the carpet in this WSJ article (yes from Ruppert Murdoch's WSJ). Actually, I am quite sure it's another hit piece against "social conservatives" which makes other neoconservatives look bad (namely the former Democrat, pro-abortion, cross-dressing, lisping, anti-gun, Roman Catholic fascist "Godfather" Giuliani).

Some of us knew this already about Huckabee, but he fools many with superficial judgment. Just another "man from Hope" (as Clinton positioned himself from Arkansas) who claims to be one thing but will do another. No true conservative Christian would approve of unjust war, war on false pretenses, war contrary to the principles of the "just war theory of Christianity", as Ron Paul has stated in the debates. (Scott Ritter was at WVSU Thursday night, the former Marine and UN weapons inspector that knew first hand that WMD in Iraq was a falsehood. See article below).

The new republicans (neo-republicans, neoconservatives, CFR republican RINOs) seem to want big government as much as the democrats, and they too want to confiscate our guns for their "security state". Do not trust them!

Another Man From Hope
Who is Mike Huckabee?
Mr. Huckabee, on the other hand, is running hard right on social issues but liberal-populist on some economic issues. This may help explain why the affable, golden-tongued Baptist minister was the clear favorite at the pro-life Family Research Council's national forum last Saturday. And why Mr. Huckabee's praises have been sung by liberal columnists such as Gail Collins of the New York Times and Jonathan Alter of Newsweek.
But I also know he is not the "consistent conservative" he now claims to be.


Nor am I alone. Betsy Hagan, Arkansas director of the conservative Eagle Forum and a key backer of his early runs for office, was once "his No. 1 fan." She was bitterly disappointed with his record. "He was pro-life and pro-gun, but otherwise a liberal," she says. "Just like Bill Clinton he will charm you, but don't be surprised if he takes a completely different turn in office."

Scott Ritter on WV Pub Broadcast Interview--WMD in Iraq was Lie

In this short recent (for those who missed his WVSU appearance Thursday night) Oct. '07 interview Ritter describes from his own experience as UN weapons inspector, and former Marine, the lies about WMD in Iraq. He holds both Congress and the Media accountable for not challenging Bush on his false statements that led to war.

Scott Ritter served for 12 years in the Marine Corps. He was a lead analyst, a ballistic missile advisor to Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and a UN weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998.  He was last in Iraq in 2002, before the U.S. invasion in March 2003.  Now, Ritter is an outspoken critic on US policy toward Iraq. He’ll speak Oct. 25 at West Virginia State University. First, he spoke to Beth Vorhees.

George W. Bush Biggest Spending President since 1964

Of course he could not have done this without a complicit Congress, largely by republican majority. Now suddenly we hear the 2008 candidates are "scolding" republicans on big spending, big government, while they themselves were absolutely silent, actually cheer leading, during the entire process. ARE THE NEOCONSERVATIVES AND THEIR NEO-REPUBLICANS PROUD OF THIS? Methinks they would do it all over again, and plea "necessity". The democrats make the same plea, while Americans are caught in the median and forced to bow. Had enough yet? Is the two-party system serving Americans, or the "powers that be" behind the curtain?

The source of this is Cato Institute, which like Ron Paul advocates limited, constitutional government instead of the federal Leviathan that devours taxes like water from Americans, and ravages the world militarily for its PAX AMERICANA.

Who will kill this federal monster? There is only one candidate that can be trusted. But Americans appear to want more of the same while, like the proverbial ostrich, they bury their heads in the sands of sports and entertainment. Consequences come, only taking personal responsibility to alter something prevents them.

51% of Americans Want 9/11 Probe; 30% for Immediate Impeachment

This poll was released by Zogby last month, Sept. 6th. With Osama Bin Laden (who is dead, see FOX article) making Drudge again (with faked tapes) it deserves a look now. It was just one year ago that a Scripps Howard-Ohio State Univ. study reported that 31 percent of Americans think the official story of 9/11 is a lie. It continues to grow, and can no longer be overlooked as a "fringe" opinion. This is why we post various mini-video clips on the blog, so others can see the arguments for themselves--i.e. evidence that could not possibly fit the official account. There is sufficient evidence to prove in a court of law that both the government and media have, and continue to lie, about the events of Sept. 11th. Family members of victims go unheard as well in their cries for independent investigation. Everything the government is doing is founded upon that one event. There is no hard evidence that connects bin Laden or any "Arab hijackers" (no autopsies either) to 9/11--only allegation and repetition--and there have been no "spectacular" attacks since that day of infamy.

“The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

-- Rex Tomb, FBI spokesman (source here)

Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment

67% also fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7
a new Zogby International poll finds a majority of Americans still await a Congressional investigation of President Bush' and Vice President Cheney's actions before, during and after the 9/11 attacks. Over 30% also believe Bush and/or Cheney should be immediately impeached by the House of Representatives.
The 911truth.org–sponsored poll also found that over two-thirds of Americans say the 9/11 Commission should have investigated the still unexplained collapse of the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001.
FEMA did not explain this collapse, the 911 Commission ignored it, and the promised official study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is now 2 years overdue.

Nitro Book Controversy and Dr. Seal--Symptoms of a Bigger Problem





High School is not what is used to be, in culture, education, or social mores. Compare this to what you see today. Do the government schools produce academic men and women or juvenile delinquents with diplomas? Since self-esteem was emphasized self-respect has declined, and social anarchy has become the norm. Self-control, temperance, maturity, dignity, personal responsibility, and respect for authority (though some authorities must be disrespected on principle) are lost. Men and women dress alike since the unisex '60s revolution, and there is no shame in immodest dress or wild behavior, and no one may speak a word about it in criticism. The idol of Tolerance has trumped the righteousness of Truth, and the results are obvious. Yet taxpayers keep paying more, like slaves, to "help our children" (collectivism) and the State continues increasing funding for government schools which only increases output from the "education" factories. It should not be missed either that many political families send their own to private schools, while demanding support for the government schools.

Warning: Government and public education officials will be offended by you reading this, along with social engineers in the media. But remember everyone protects his own interest.

Government schooling and Elitist Bureaucrats.

Those who believe they can give their children real education and any sense of individualism or moral rectitude by sending them to the social grind mill of the government schools are deceiving themselves.
Newspapers now openly report the most shameful and now common fact that teachers, particularly modern women, are preying on students for their perverse personal gratification, something that the law calls "statutory rape". Recently a story broke that students on an overnight field trip (an an unnecessary activity that begs for trouble to come) engaged in perverse acts in the bus. The "education" of children is thus "contributing to the delinquency of minors"--which is a crime! Now the Nitro book controversy is just another symptom of the corrupt and amoral public system that consumes the largest portion of state taxes (in West Virginia approx. $2 billion and 26 percent) and is managed by bureaucratic social engineers, like the arrogant "doctor", Dr. Seal, who recently insulted Lincoln County families and has justly been taken to task.

People would "value education" more if they actually got a real one rather than the elitist social indoctrination while teaching the parroted "official history" of the United States which is full of Yankee and socialist, politically-correct propaganda. Government cannot be expected to pay for something it does not want, and the intellectual, atheistic, historical, and social bias is obvious. Admittedly it is also difficult to teach the truth when government lies have covered the course of its historical actions, and propaganda will always fade as those truths become known though impugned as "historical revisionism" (actually the unrevising of original revisionism). Confusion abounds because of this and then the frustration of teaching and learning amidst controversy gives way to apathy and mere survival of what the law mandates. (That public schooling is mandatory by law should make everyone suspicious of its true purpose, knowing the government controls the education largely). Jay Leno frequently makes humor on the tragic fact that modern high schoolers, even adults, are stupid and ignorant. It is impossible to say that the government schools have nothing to do with this. It is also impossible to claim that parents are not responsible either.

There used to be a term called "spoiling" children (the word means "to ruin"), which means pandering and bribing them "go through the system" by every means to perform rather than teaching personal discipline and responsibility. "Team work" is substituted for individual responsibility that is a front for communistic "group think". Sports is exalted, academics diminished, for the same reason, to teach collectivism. Collectivism in turn teaches people to depend upon the State for their welfare, which in turn the modern government dishes to them in various forms, collected from the tax revenues of its serfs who work much of each year for the public welfare (i.e. communism).

Actually, this is all by design in a much larger picture. The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlott Thomson Iserbyt (a free online e-book) should be looked at by all who are concerned about teaching their children rather than delegating and dumping them into the government school system in a fatalistic way thinking they will "turn out all right". Educators should also take a hard look, and the legislators who always cry for raises and additional taxation. It would be enlightening.

One reviewer writes this about the book:
As an educator for the past 28 years, and believing myself to be at least a little left of center politically, I found "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" to be the scariest thing I have ever read. Some will brand this book as conservative propaganda. But those of us in the teaching profession wonder aloud to each other and anyone else who will listen, what politicians are thinking about when they pass educational reform legislation. It would seem impossible to make some of the decisions that are being made without having deliberately set about to wreak (sic) the education system in America. If the facts laid out in this book are true (and the book is full of documentation) what is happening to education in Washington D.C. is worse than the Twin Towers tragedy and the attack on Pearl Harbor combined. The promotional material for this book says that it should be required reading for parents. I think it should be required reading for every educator or university student considering a career in education.

Home schooling was used to bring up most of the great men in colonial America, both statesman (not politicians) and pastors, who only went on to "higher education" for specific professions, such as law, theology, science, or such. The idea that everyone must go to college only waters down the purpose of higher education and indeed college has become a refuge for higher delinquency and mere social process which the accreditation of the state approves. It should not be missed either that the highest paid state or university employee in West Virginia is a football coach, proving where the state truly lays its highest rewards. (Sports fanatics are to blame then as well for misplaced and corrupting principles). Yes, the "love of money is the root of all sorts of evil", including the eroded purpose of higher education.

The real purpose behind the Promise Scholarship was to increase government revenues through legalizing the illegal gambling industry by pretended do-goodism (crying "our children"!), which West Virginians fell for. Why is everyone so naive, except that they have been negligent in their own personal responsibility to examine things?

Compare 19th Century Higher Education to todays in this letter from Professor Clyde Wilson of Univ. of South Carolina, which makes the modern party-University pale in comparison, and explains the relative ignorance and lack of modern statesman in society:

A 19th Century College Curriculum

"The college curriculum consisted chiefly of Latin, Greek, and pure mathematics, with smaller amounts of modern languages, chemistry, geology, physics, botany, zoology, metaphysics, logic, rhetoric, political economy, and constitutional and international law. More than half of a students time in four years was spent in languages ancient and modern; three-fifths in the languages and pure mathematics together. The intent of these studies was to develop the powers of reason, analysis, and perspective…" [Studying of Greek and Latin meant translating the old Greek and Latin classics, such as those by Thucydides, Herodotus, Plato, Cicero, Livy and Tacitus, into English - and sometimes back again. Thus they were learning history, politics, philosophy, poetry, science, and language all at once. Add this to all the minor subjects - with some overlap - above, and one can clearly see why they were so versatile, and why they were so able in whatever career they pursued. G.M]

Professor Clyde Wilson

I would challenge even the arrogant Dr. Seal's education against the above curriculum of real "higher education". Methinks he would flunk their tests from the 19th century with his 21st Century indoctrination, making him look like an ignorant hillbilly in a suit.

The government school system must be abandoned by every responsible parent who knows that they alone are morally responsible for the upbringing of their own children, who are their own offspring, not the State. It will be better for them, for the parents, and for society as a whole.

MEANWHILE THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS CONTINUE THEIR MANUFACTURING OF A PARTICULAR KIND OF GENERIC PEOPLE FOR THEIR AMORAL UTOPIAN SOCIETY, WHICH IS PROVOKING THE STUDENTS TO REBEL MORE AND MORE TO GET FREE FROM THE SOCIAL ENGINEERING THEY FEEL BEING FORCED UPON THEM (AND THEY HAVE EVERY MORAL RIGHT TO SECEDE FROM IT), WHILE PARENTS ARE TOLD TO COOPERATE WITH THE CORRUPT SYSTEM--WHILE THEY PAY FOR IT! IT IS THE STATE THAT INTERFERES BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN, BREAKING THE NATURAL AND GOD-GIVEN BOND THAT CAME ABOUT AT BIRTH, DESTROYING THE FAMILY SOCIALLY, IF NOT LITERALLY.

Florida GOP Debate: Fred Compares Rudy to Hillary; Ron Paul Wins FOX Poll Again

AUDIO SPIN ROOM FOX DEBATES

RON PAUL'S INTERVIEW AFTER HE WIN'S WITH 35%...FOX Hannity in shock again! He refutes the unjust charges of poll "spamming" (which is not possible via FOX's cell poll system) and compliments FOX's good audience. Hannity begins to smile (if you see the video) because Paul is making rational arguments, and his genuine support is irrefutable.

Listen to the FOX "Spin Room" portion in PODCAST HERE

FOX NEWS TEXT MESSAGE POLL RESULTS
Who won the Florida GOP Debate?

Ron Paul - 34% - Winner
Mike Huckabee - 27%
Rudy Giuliani - 11%
Mitt Romney - 10%
Fred Thompson - 9%
John McCain - 5%

Read it and weep Don Surber. Fred needs some help. Meanwhile the spin is a "Florida focus group" says Giuliani won. He was way behind Huckabee! Did Huckabee "spam" the polls too? He is never charged is he? There is not even consistency in their baseless arguments, only bias assertions.

QUESTIONS:
ARE NOT THE MEDIA MANIPULATING THEIR AUDIENCES INSTEAD OF REPORTING THE TRUTH? IS THE MEDIA NOT DELIBERATELY MANIPULATING PUBLIC OPINION, WHEN POLLS DO NOT SHOW WHAT THEY WANT? Like we stated before, 'FOX distorts, won't let you decide!' Spin...spin...spin as they might, the truth cannot be entirely drown out. Maybe the parties should listen to what Americans are really saying, and beginning to listen to, instead of their own propaganda and that of the party elitists. Does America really have "free elections" or "free press" when all this goes on?

The republicans see how Ron Paul is getting attention for limited government and constitutional views (as if the oath of office does not make them swear to it) and now they debated who was the most conservative, while Ron Paul is!

FRED SLAMS RUDY: Fred Thompson compares Giuliani's positions to those of Hillary Clinton--accurate and priceless! (Listen to it in the podcast above). But Fred is a hypocrite, just another CFR republican himself parroting the neocon script.


Then read this to see just how much both media and republican party do not want you to decide, but manipulate and stack the audience, polling, and all other means possible against Ron Paul. Yet his support keeps growing!

Fox News 'Stacked the Deck' at Latest Debate?

Sunday, October 21, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

NEWS ANALYSIS/OPINION

Was the anti-Ron Paul fix in? GOP Jeffersonian conservative presidential candidate Ron Paul signaled that he believed it probably was in a victorious, post-debate interview, pointing out that he was only allowed 1,000 audience tickets [compared to others].

While Sean Hannity (see related story) indicated that Ron Paul supporters "stacked" the cell-phone poll that showed Ron Paul won the debate, the truth may be the reverse. By placing the debate in Florida, a stronghold of the Bush/Giuliani wing of the Republican party, and by setting the rules to select a neo-conservative audience, Fox and the Republican party apparently got what it could not get in New Hampshire - an anti-Ron Paul crowd.

(See reactions at DailyPaul.com, LewRockwell.com/blog or even the posting board at such sites as MSNBC for more comments on the Fox audience composition)

Reports on the 'Net, for instance, indicate that Mitt Romney purchased the most tickets and had the most supporters in the audience, though Fox apparently never clearly stated how the audience was chosen. In any event the debate audience was hostile to Ron Paul's anti-American Empire statements and anti-war rhetoric. So was the handful of GOP voter-representatives that were gathered together to give a minute by minute reaction to the debate.

The audience scenario was in stark contrast to the larger American public that wants an end to militarism by a reported 70-30 margin. The apparently deliberate composition of the audience comes on the heels of anti-Ron Paul bias at another Rupert Murdoch media entity, the New York Post (see related story) that actually covered the recent Value Voter GOP debate without mentioning that Ron Paul came in third in an after-debate online poll.

The constant and deliberate strategies of placing Ron Paul at a disadvantage, or ignoring him altogether, are insignificant when taken alone, but, like pinpricks, add up and cause significant irritation. Nonetheless, the Ron Paul campaign has persevered; he has finished at or near the top in straw poll after straw poll; his fund raising has moved up dramatically each quarter; ridicule has given way to irritation and calculated avoidance.

Most recently, it would seem the mainstream media has ceased to emphasize the straw polls, and even the fund-raising that used to paint a portrait of a winning candidate. Instead, more and more, media "pundits" depend on mainstream polling data to marginalize Ron Paul and his constitutionalist message.

Trouble is, as Ron Paul himself pointed out last night, the polls that mainstream media is relying on still often do not even mention him as an option.

Yet the attacks continue to come; newspapers stories deliberately do not mention his successes, audiences are picked to oppose him, talk radio and TV hosts go out of their way to denigrate his points of view without ever explaining exactly what they are.

Ron Paul perseveres....
