Rick Perry Challenges Rick Santorum on Earmarks

Perry said Thursday that he's sometimes confused when Santorum talks about fiscal conservatism. Perry says the former senator loaded up federal legislation with so-called pork-barrel spending for his home state and calls Santorum a "prolific earmarker."

Perry said, quote: “I love Iowa pork but I hate Washington pork.”

Michele Bachmann Co-Chair Kent Sorenson Endorses Ron Paul

The current Iowa State Co-Chair of the Michelle Bachmann campaign announced Wednesday night that he is now supporting Ron Paul for president. 


Kent Sorenson made the announcement on a national TV broadcast of a Ron Paul rally in Iowa with veterans, telling the crowd: "I believe we're at a turning point in this campaign."  On C-Span.


Calling the decision to abandon Bachmann a painful one, Sorenson said he felt obligated to join Paul as the Republican establishment tries to undermine his campaign.


"I thought it was my duty to come to his aid, just like he came to my aid during my Senate race, which was a very nasty race," Sorenson said, pledging to go all-out for Paul over the next few days.
To cheers from the crowd, he continued: "We're going to take Ron Paul all the way to the White House."


It is unknown who will replace Kent in the Bachman campaign. Michele Bachmann released a statement this evening about the change “it was a deliberate move by the Ron Paul campaign to discredit our campaign and our growing momentum,”

She add, “Ron Paul is in trouble in Iowa and his campaign is worried about people learning about his dangerous stance on foreign policy and how he will make America less safe.”

Michele Bachmann also accused Sorenson of changing teams for money. "Kent Sorenson personally told me he was offered a large sum of money to go to work for the Paul campaign,” Bachmann wrote. “Kent campaigned with us earlier this afternoon and went immediately afterward to a Ron Paul event and announced he is changing teams. Kent said to me yesterday that 'everyone sells out in Iowa, why shouldn't I,' then he told me he would stay with our campaign. The Ron Paul campaign has to answer for its actions.”

Kent Sorenson denied Bachmann’s allegations.

Does the US Postal Service Need to be Sold?

There is a lot of talk from President Obama about closing the post office on Friday and Saturday to save money.  While on the surface this may seem like a good financial decision,  think about this question.  How many profitable businesses would consider closing their doors to save money? If closing your doors saves your business money, would you consider closing your business everyday?

Any successful private business makes money when the doors are open, however when it comes to government run business the opposite seems to be true.  The United State Post Office loses money everyday the doors are open.  We all should really ask why not just shut the doors everyday and save the country even more money.

The Post office has been running at a loss for several years:

2007 - $5.1 Billion
2008 - $2.8 Billion
2009 - $3.8 Billion
2010 - $8.5 Billion
2011 - $5.1 Billion

We live in a time where electronic communication has become more prevalent then traditional mail.  Ironically instead of this being an additional reason for closing the post office, some democrats have proposed taxes on electronic communication to supplement the sales lost.  This though is the type of logic that comes out of Washington DC.  A more efficient and cheaper form of communication has evolved that does not cost the government anything.  So democrats talk of taxing email to support a long-standing form of communication (U.S. Postal Service) that is becoming irrelevant and costing the government to operate.

We should put the whole operation up for sale tomorrow and allow a private business to run it profitably.  We could sell the operation and the property assets.  The time has come for us to ask, "Do we need the US government running a postal service, especially when it loses money and we live in an era where privately operated business exists to fill the void."

Is Ron Paul Racist?

Because of his recent success, the media has tried to paint Ron Paul as a racist with his newsletters. In fact, he has done more to try and correct the injustice toward minorities than any other candidate. Democrats see people as groups of society, which is what historically has lead to "majorities" controlling "minorities". Socialism leads to this behavior. As a libertarian, Ron Paul sees and believes everyone is unique and individually as important as the next. All are equal, no one is more valuable than anyone else, rich or poor. Color is irrelevant.

Libertarians believe that an individual is just as important as a whole group, which is the opposite of democrats and socialism. Democrats & socialists believe that a group is more important than the individual. Be careful, the day you let the government say your group is more important than an individual's right is the day you have given up your individual rights.


Additionally, Ron Paul has probably done more statistical research on the injustice of our current drug laws and judicial system then any other candidate. 

You Are the House of God

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
