The argument about abortion has hit a new low at least were I’m concerned. Abortion is health care? What is there about carrying a baby to term is unhealthy for a woman? What percentage of woman is risking their health by carrying a baby to term? According to the Guttmacher Institute, nationwide about 7.14% of abortions are sought for health reasons. That means 92.86% of pregnant woman are choosing abortion for reasons other than health.
I have just been reading an article about liberty and equality. Liberty: The Other Equality (Roderick T. Long). The article talks about three different types of equality; socioeconomic, law, and authority. The first two presuppose that that the people that are administering equality are benevolent and have the people’s best interest at heart. The third, one states that we all have the same authority over our own liberty. I prescribe to this form of liberty. In America no one can take my authority or liberty unless I give it up! I may forfeit my liberty through an unlawful act, but in the final analysis, it was my choice to break the law and I must face the consequences for my actions.
The unborn child has the same authority in regards to liberty as I have, or the mother has. No one except the child can relinquish that authority, and the U.S. Constitution was put in place to protect life, liberty! Although we as parents are the guardians of our children’s liberty, we cannot forfeit that liberty for them under any circumstance, nor usurp their authority when it comes to their liberty. This is not to say the child is not under subjection to their parents until the legal age of accountability. This subjection is a benevolent dictatorship in my house, where the rule is “my house my rule.” The subjection in my house is limited to what the child can do, not who they can be. I emphasize what they “can be”, that means I allow them the freedom to become what they want, not what I want.
In a free country, people are given the freedom to be what they want to be and do what they want to do, as long as that freedom doesn’t take away from someone else’s freedom or liberty. Equality of authority is the only way we can truly be a free people. I don’t have the authority to take someone’s life or property. Nobody in these United States has the authority to take something from me by using the government as the means to do so. In the same manner government can not legalize abortion, because that would be usurping the authority of someone else without their permission!
If we really want to be a free people and become again the America our founding fathers envisioned, then we need to, as a self governing people, take back from the government and from wrong thinking citizens, OUR AUTHORITY, OUR LIBERTY AND GIVE BACK TO THE UNBORN THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO THE SAME!

Serve or be served?
By Dan Clements
The 2008 election season is in full swing. The Lamestream media has its two big box party nominees in place, and all is right with the world. We can all just go about our business as usual and know that we are going to be served by the best people possible. Right?
Let take a look at that for a minute. Who is serving who? If you look at the Obama campaign, it’s not we the people. You can look at any major issue facing the American people today, and you will not find one solution from the Obama camp that does not pander to a special interest groups, violates the U.S. Constitution, or take and usurp more of our freedoms and liberties!
When it comes to the economy, Obama doesn’t have clue one how a FREE market economy works, nor even how to find out how a FREE market economy works. Or maybe more to the point doesn’t care! He wants to tax achievement and success through windfall profits tax on oil companies. Obama either doesn’t know or care that WE THE PEOPLE own these PUBLICLY TRADED companies and the only ones that will be hurt are WE THE PEOPLE! Obama panders to the “Green Mafia” who are communist in disguise, and want only to bring down America so they can be in charge.
Obama, if elected, wants to nationalize as much of the nation as he can get away with. The sad part about this is, that a lot of Americans will let him get away with this, because of how effective the Liberal Social Fascist in our government have duped the public into letting them take care of them. Some Americans have become so lazy and don’t want to take care of themselves, that they have allowed the government to be their nanny. It is so bad, that if you suggest that people take care of themselves they are scared into compliance by the LSF’s on the premise that they will lose all that they have. Thing is, Americans that live off of the government largesse, have already lost what it means to be truly American.
Immigration, national security, healthcare, judicial appointments, states rights, and the list goes on, you fill in the blank, all these issues if elected, Obama will do the will of the special interest groups and the DNC under the guise doing it for the people.
And let’s not forget McCain. John McCain is the very definition of RINO. If McCain is a conservative, then I’m the pope! McCain admits to not knowing much about the economy, and from what I have seen and heard, he doesn’t know much about the U.S. Constitution either. McCain wants to give $300 million to someone for inventing a new battery for cars. Where is he going to get that money from, the Chinese? That’s the only place, because we are broke as a nation. If elected, there is no guarantee that McCain will not cave into the LSF’s in congress and be just as liberal as Obama! The Democrats have a seat with his name on it on their side of the isle, so he can rest his feet when he is over their. McCain needs a few lessons in FREE market economies also.
There is only one clear choice for POTUS, Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. Chuck understands the role of government, the FREE markets, the U.S. Constitution, and WE THE PEOPLE in making America great! Chuck gets it when we talk about limited, constitutional government. How we the people are in charge and not the politicians we send to Washington D.C. We need to take our government back from the special interest groups and the LSF that permeate the lives of OUR elected officials.
