Conservatism no longer == Republican
June 5th, 2008
Just for the record, being labeled a conservative these days does not automatically equal being a Republican anymore. The only Republican that I know of that I agree with is Ron Paul. Conservative really means being independent or even Libertarian with a big ‘L’. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.

Bob Barr for president in 2008! Since my real choice, Ron Paul, obviously isn’t the Republican nominee, I will be voting for Bob Barr since he supports the ideals of liberty, constitutional authority only, limited government, and no offensive foreign policy. He won the Libertarian Party’s nomination last week. Bob Barr for president in 2008!
Some great quotes about U.S. monetary policy
June 3rd, 2008
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies … If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” (Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826)
“I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution – taking from the federal government their power of borrowing.” (Thomas Jefferson, 1798)
“It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners… is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country? … Controlling our currency, receiving our public moneys, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence… would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy.” (President Andrew Jackson – July 10, 1832)
“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” (President James A. Garfield, 1881)
