Why We Don’t Have a Right to Health Care
Sep 19, 2009 bill of rights, commentary, constitution, politics
We have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Does health care fit into any one of these categories? Those are derived from biblical principles by our founding fathers – the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights which are in turn outlined in the bill of rights. They cannot be taken from us by any person, government, or organization.
Health care, on the other hand, is not guaranteed. The reason is that someone has to provide the service, who in turn has to provide for his or her family using the payment for his or her services. By saying that I am entitled, or have the right to, his or her services means that even if I cannot pay for said services, he or she still has to treat me anyway. Thus, I am robbing him or her of their pursuit of happiness and the wages for their labor, which is wrong.
Liberals would say (in a very indirect manner) that I have a right to health care, even if I cannot pay for it – but those providing the health care should not have to work for free. That means that if I need health care and can’t pay for it, I am going to have to take money from someone else to pay the health care provider. That brings us back to the scenario of robbing the provider, but now I am robbing someone else who also has their own happiness to pursue.
The government has done a fantastic job of convincing people that when they get money from the government, it was absolutely free. Thankfully people are beginning to wake up to the fact that “free” money causes inflation through the expansion of the money supply. Inflation, in essence, is a hidden tax because every time a dollar is printed it lowers the purchasing power of all the dollars that you and I have in our pockets… so we have in effect paid a tax to allow the government to fund some new deficit spending project, like universal health care, for example. So again, everyone who traded in their clunker and got $4500 for it, was subsidized by the rest of us. We won’t see any of that money back, and our money is worth less now. Do you think that is right?
Along the same lines, do huge banks have a right to survive if they’ve been managed poorly? The effect on the money in the bank is the same: the value deteriorates! It seems far more innocent to give free health care than to bail out a bank, but both require taking money from someone else..something the founding fathers never envisioned for a free America.

HR 1207 – Audit the Fed – now has 290 cosponsors
Sep 17, 2009 Campaign for Liberty, Federal Reserve, Ron Paul, constitution, economy, financial, news, politics
HR 1207 now having 290 cosponsors is a significant number because now two thirds of the house of representatives is cosponsoring the bill, which means that now the bill is eligible for consideration under suspension of house rules. What that means is that the bill can be expedited through the house, by means of being considered “under suspension”, allowing a two-thirds vote for final passage and limiting floor debate and prohibiting floor amendments. By prohibiting floor amendments, the house votes on the bill as amended, which is what Ron Paul and his cosponsors want for this bill – HR 1207 needs to stay exactly as it is – short and to the point – without being watered down and made ineffective by the global elite controlled politicians that wish to keep the Federal Reserve exactly where it is today – with a stranglehold on the American people.
This is great news – and if your congressman/woman hasn’t cosponsored HR 1207, ask them to cosponsor it today! Also ask your senators if they will cosponsor S 604!
For reference, the house bill HR 1207 is called the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009″ and S 604 is called “Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009″.
FREEDOM!!!!

HR 1207 hearing official! Audit the Fed
Sep 10, 2009 Campaign for Liberty, Ron Paul, constitution, economy, financial, news, politics
Hearings on HR 1207, Ron Paul’s Federal Reserve transparency bill, will be conducted on Friday, September 25th at 9 AM. This is confirmed by Ron Paul, who has confirmed with Barney Frank, the House financial services committee chairman.
Hopefully, HR 1207 will receive a standalone up or down vote on its own merits and will not be tacked onto another bill and watered down. Please contact your representatives and request that they first cosponsor the bill, and if they already have, ask that they support a standalone vote on HR 1207.
Why the not-so-federal reserve has been able to conduct its operations in near total secret to this date is completely beyond me. The American people are ready to find out where all the money has gone. Once they know, they will hopefully realize that the Federal Reserve has never been, and certainly is not now, necessary for the US economy to thrive. Congress should take back the power of money creation from the greedy, power hungry, unconstitutional financial overlord known as the federal reserve. Only then will we have a stable economy and a government that is truly limited in its spending abilities.
Be sure to watch the hearings on Friday, September 25th at 9:00 AM! This is history in the making!

CIA bidding on ad placement on youtube Israel Palestine Gaza conflict videos?
Sep 1, 2009 Israel/Palestine, news, world affairs
It could just be a coincidence, but it may not be – I was watching a video on Youtube the other day, which happened to be some documentary work on the Israel Palestine Gaza conflict, and a CIA recruiting ad is showing. Is this advertising targeted? If so, why are they targeting people watching these videos who most likely disagree with Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians living in Gaza?
