Liberty Files #5

With the blow up of the Walter Reed scandal. the plight of the U.S. veteran is being tossed around in the media and it looks like our leaders are going to take action. In light of this, let me remind you all of something. As our Congressmen and Senators are showing us how shocked and horrified they are, and as our dear leader sends in the Inquisition to get to the bottom of this, please remember that they are all full of shit. These same people, help fund and run and oversee Walter Reed and the VA system (Walter Reed being outsourced). They know how much funding they get, they know the deplorable conditions our vets have to put up with, and they know that while our servicemen and women are in Iraq putting they're lives on the line, they're spouses and babies are lining up for food stamps. They don't care. The Democrats don't care and the Republicans don't care. Shitting on the veterans started while I was a kid, if not before, and it incrementally has gotten worse and worse. These stories are not new and our leaders have always known this. Don't believe their false outrage because it's not sincere, just politically neccessary.

Ron Paul 2008?

Congressman Ron Paul has announced that he is seeking the presidency in 2008. I see only two problems with this. His is a Republican and a Texan, two things that are too easily identified with the renound GW Bush. However, I want people to take a good look at Mr Paul, and try to look past these to points because there is much more to this man that these.

Note: I have nothing against Texas so don't get a tumbleweed up your... er, burr under your saddles..

Mr. Paul is not your typical Republican. In fact, he is more of a Libertarian. So much so that the Libertarians would love for him to change parties and represent them. They figure that if he did that, at least they could gaurentee him a place on the ballot. I say, if he is to have any shot at all he needs to beat out Mccain and Guilliani and the rest to get the nod. It's a long shot but the Rebublican party needs to wake up and see that they really, truly stink right now. They're platform stinks. They're policies stink. They're leadership stinks. The whole thing just smells like Ann Coulter's unwashed, ripe ass. In other words, It's time to wash up and make some changes. Ron Paul is a voice in the Republican party that is NOT spouting the party line. Here are some fast facts:
