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.

SHOULD WE USE RONALD REAGAN AS THE YARDSTICK?
BY: DAN CLEMENTS
Speculation has been flying around about whom John McCain will pick as VP? And pundits have been saying that he needs to pick someone that is more like Ronald Reagan so he can capture more of the conservative Republican vote.
Even though Ronald Reagan was the first president I voted for, and he was the most conservative politician to come down the pike for a long time, we still should not compare our politicians today to any politician of the past. Why? Because the bar set by politicians keep changing. The Republican Party is no longer the home of true conservatives and Ronald Reagan would not recognize it today as the same party he fought for through the 70’s and into the 80’s. The reason I’m picking on the Republican Party and not the Democrat Party is, the Democrat Party left conservatism behind around Woodrow Wilson’s presidency and never looked back. The Republican Party for many years had touted that they where the home of conservatism and the ideas of smaller government.
This Presidential election cycle has shown the true nature of the Republican Party. In my short political life of 28 years, I have never seen a more liberal slate of politicians run for the supposed conservative Republican Party! The only ones who even came close to being conservative where, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes, and possibly Fred Thompson. Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, are the most liberal Republicans I have ever seen. And you ask how I came to this conclusion? I have compared them the U.S. Constitution and the founding documents of this country and found them wanting (not the documents but the men). Ron Paul was the only one running that is the true conservative, because he used the U.S. Constitution as his standard and guide. But Ron Paul will not give up his standing in the Republican Party and run on a third party ticket, what a waste!
The Constitution Party picked its presidential nominee April 26th, Chuck Baldwin.
Here is the Wikipedia entry on Chuck Baldwin:
In 1980 and 1984, Baldwin worked in the Florida Moral Majority to carry the state for the Reagan-Bush electors. He claims to have played a major part in the registration of some fifty thousand Christian conservative voters. In 2000, however, he vacated the Republican Party on grounds that the Bush-Cheney ticket was too liberal.
In the 2004 presidential election, Baldwin was Michael Peroutka's running mate and candidate for Vice President of the United States on the Constitution Party ticket. The two ran on a platform of "God, Family, and the Republic." The Peroutka/Baldwin campaign publicly spoke out against abortion,[3] women in the military,[4] and the Iraq War.[5]
Baldwin considers Bush roughly equivalent to national Democrats. In 2006, he voted in favor of disaffiliating the Independent American Party of Nevada from the Constitution Party.[6]
Baldwin effectively endorsed U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas in the 2008 presidential election in a column on August 30, 2007, entitled "Conservative Republicans have only one choice",[7] having declared: "Let's cut to the chase: conservative Republicans have only one choice for President in 2008: Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Unlike the GOP frontrunners, Paul is the real deal." On December 19, 2007 he released a video officially endorsing Congressman Paul.[8]
Baldwin has written specifically against the candidacies of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mitt Romney, and Rudolph Giuliani. Prior to the death of the Reverend Falwell in 2007, Baldwin had criticized his old mentor for having supported official Republican nominees in general elections regardless of the candidates' positions on issues vital to conservatives. He decried Falwell's past affiliation with George W. Bush. Jonathan Falwell, Jerry Falwell's heir as pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, meanwhile, endorsed Mike Huckabee for the GOP nomination, another candidate that Baldwin strongly repudiated. Baldwin is known as a staunch opponent of what he calls the "new world order" and amnesty for illegal immigrants.
On December 7, 2007, Baldwin issued this statement in a column:
Unfortunately, it has been the Christian Right's blind support for President Bush in particular and the Republican Party in general that has precipitated a glaring and perhaps fatal defect: the Christian Right cannot, or will not, honestly face the real danger confronting these United States. The reason for this blindness is due, in part, to political partisanship or personal aggrandizement. Regardless, the Christian Right is currently devoid of genuine sagacity. On the whole, they fail to understand the issues that are critical to our nations--and their own--survival.[9]
By any measure of conservatism, Chuck Baldwin has it in abundance. When we use the U.S. Constitution as our yardstick, there is only one clear choice for POTUS that is Chuck Baldwin and his VP Darrel Castle. Please go and read the Constitution Party platform. Measure our party’s platform against the U.S. Constitution and see if we don’t measure up as a party and our nominees as individuals.
So this November when you go to the voting booth, don’t throw your vote away on the two big box party’s. Don’t vote because you are against something, or you are picking the lesser of two evils. Vote because you stand for the Constitution of the United States, and those who want to uphold it, and bring this country back to its constitutional roots!!!!!
