The latest legislation passed by our illustrious Congress, which has a mere 11 percent approval rating by the citizens, has succeeded in making Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Mason, and the other Founding Fathers 'homegrown terrorists.'
The bill, which is aimed at targeting American citizens who are engaged in terrorism, is written in such a way as to implicate millions of unsuspecting, law-abiding citizens merely because they agree with the Founders that the biggest threat to liberty is big government, and that if big government attempts to remove the rights of the people, the people are justified in taking up arms to squelch the power of that government.
In short, it is now tantamount to being a federal crime to believe in the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, or the statements of Thomas Jefferson on the dangers of government power. In fact, such beliefs could get you labeled by the government as a terrorist.

This is one more example why I am supporting Ron Paul.
More and more, I am deeply suspicious of both parties. Here is an example of the Democrats, with a handful of Republicans, voting to pass this horrible "enabling act." But, the Republicans have not done much better.
Of all the candidates for President, only Ron Paul is not of the "establishment." Only he offers true change in Washington, bringing us back to constitutional principles. Other Republican candidates might use some of the rhetoric, but none of them really means it.
Of course, Ron Paul won't be able to change Washinton by himself, but if he pulls off a Presidential win he will have the support he needs as demonstrated by the highly motivated supporters he has drawn to his campaign and the many more that will join. Though, even if he is unsuccesful he has started a significant movement for liberty.
I really believe that if we don't change the course of our country we are headed for a 1776 type event. The plan to integrate our country with Canada and Mexico and the rest of the world, and the plan to strip Americans of their arms and to overtax and redistribute wealth is becoming more and more obvious to many Americans. The government is sensing the anger and they are obviously afraid, hence their votes to pass this tyrannical bill which would make me (and you) a terrorist.
Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee, nor any other Republican candidate other than Ron Paul will stem the slide of our country into despotism. Only Ron Paul can unite the lovers of freedom and liberty to prevent the inevitable trajedy that lies ahead.
I can't argue with your assessment that our government has become afraid of ordinary citizens who truly believe that the Constitution is the law of the land. This latest piece of legislation is just one more tool in their arsenal to suppress any opposition on the part of citizens to the growing tyranny of our politicians who would subvert our guaranteed liberties and place us under the control of the U.N.
Almost thou persuadest me to become a Paulite...
Here is a Paul speech in Wyoming. In the 2nd part of the speech he starts discussing foreign policy and national defense. He explains his positions much better than I can for him.

Thanks, Brent. I appreciate the link.
Rep. Paul is called "nutty" for suggesting that all "public servants" should behave as if their oaths of office mean something.
I was called a "constitutionist" (sic) by a county judge for exercising a right guaranteed by the state and federal constitutions (according to the supreme court of the judge's state) as she upheld the local polizei's denial of that right. A local newspaper called me "anti-government." What? For asking the judge to support the state and federal constitutions? For asking the polizei to obey their own laws?
I was not a party to the framing of either constitution, nor of the state's laws. I do not ask any change to the law. I only ask that the government (the people who carry out the offices of government) to obey their own laws. I suppose this is "anti-government" if asking government to uphold and obey its own laws implies that I think there are limits to government power.
Al,
Ron Paul is certainly no nut for his stance on the Constitution. His views on the subject mirror those of the Founders.
And those who claim those views are 'anti-government' are traitors, tyrants, and subversives who are actually succeeding in making the Constitution null and void by referring to Patriots as nuts and tyrants.
I am FOR the U.S. government as delineated in the Constitution. I am AGAINST the illegal government imposed on an unsuspecting public by an unelected federal bureaucracy.
