Christie not running for prez. Or maybe he is.

28 Sep

Last year, when speculation in the media began about a potential Chris Christie run for president, my initial reaction appears to have been correct…so far.  At the time, I told friends and colleagues if the governor began to lose weight that would be a sign he would jump into the GOP presidential primary.

Is the fix in? Christie for president in ’12 and Lonegan for governor in ’13?

24 Sep

The recent report by Newsmax.com that Chris Christie is reconsidering entering the GOP presidential primary should not be surprising.  For months, political insiders have been urging the first term governor of New Jerseyto enter the race.

Tom Moran’s lame critique of champions of liberty, Ron Paul and Mike Doherty

22 Sep

Tom Moran, editor of the Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s largest newspaper, does his best to be a journalistic “hit man” in his piece, “NJ State Sen. Mike Doherty’s Ron Paul endorsement is revealing.”  Moran, an unabashed left-winger, lists a couple of Rep, Paul’s core positions—eliminating the income tax and abolishing the Federal Reserve.  In addition, Moran correctly points out that Rep. Paul “considers Medicare and Medicaid” to be unconstitutional.”

Warren Buffett: Great investor, lousy economist

21 Sep

The Oracle of Omaha is at it again.  Instead of doing what he does best, make money for his shareholders, Mr. Buffett is complaining that rich folks like him do not pay enough taxes to support the welfare-warfare state.  Of course, Mr. Buffett did not say that exactly, but that is the implication of his August 14, New York Times op-ed calling for the federal government to stop “coddling” billionaires like him and raise taxes on the mega rich.  President Obama has taken Buffett’s ideas about taxing the rich to make it a central initiative in his plan to reduce the deficit over the next ten years.

Searching for a fair tax? Fuhgedaboutit!

18 Sep

For decades, make that centuries, philosophers, economists, politicians and others have been searching for the Holy Grail of taxation, a “fair” tax.  And they all have failed.    Inasmuch as all taxes involve coercion, the very negation of liberty, taxation is no different from what a robber who says to his victims, ‘Your money or your life.”  In fact, taxation violates one of the fundamental tenets of the Judeo-Christian tradition, “Thou shall not steal.”  Thus, creating a fair, coercive tax is impossible.

Ron Paul and the Constitution

17 Sep

Today is Constitution Day.  Although the constitution granted the federal government a few powers enumerated in Article I Section 8, the 200+ year experiment in “democracy” has been a failure.  Now, the federal government has a virtual blank check—engaging in preemptive war, allowing the FED to create money out of thin air, creating Ponzi schemes, permitting sexual assaults at the airports by government employees in the name of security, and the list goes on and on.

Ron Paul is a Master of the Art of War, and Peace

17 Sep

Guest Column:  Joe Sansone

Apparently Ron Paul is the only candidate that understands the Art of War.

Leaving aside the motivation for terrorist attacks against the U.S., let’s consider the foreign policy issue purely from a strategic point of view for the moment. Is the current strategy of endless war in the strategic interests of The United States?

Ron Paul and the seven clones

13 Sep

At Monday’s CNN/Tea Party debate, Wolf  Blitzer said in his opening remarks that the candidates would get equal time to answer questions.  For the first half hour or so, he appeared to have kept his word.  After that, the debate turned into the Romney/Perry debate with Bachmann thrown into the mix to boost her failing poll numbers.

Lessons of 9/11

11 Sep

As I write this, 9/11 ceremonies are taking place in lower Manhattan and in Washington D.C. While families and friends remember their loved ones this past weekend who were killed in Manhattan, in the Pentagon and on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, 9/11 should also be a reminder of the greatest federal government failure in American history.

Ignore the pundits, Ron Paul is winning big

08 Sep

Despite being asked the least amount of questions at the NBC/Politico debate at the Reagan Library on September 7, Rep. Ron Paul is winning even though he is only third in the national polls.  How is that possible?  Because the other candidates are sounding more and more like Ron Paul as the primary season unfolds.
