Seriously, if you're lurking, take the time to say hi!

I encourage you to start commenting, I will approve comments no matter what.

FDR and why Liberals are so obsessed with him

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president from 1932-1944, being the only president elected 4 times, to serve 12 years in the Oval Office. Many people remember him as the man who led us through WWII, or the predecessor to Harry Truman. Some remember him as the man who locked up their families in internment camps, or others, who see him as the man that saved their grandparents from the Great Depression.

Modern-day Democrat-Liberals have him listed as one of the best presidents of all time. Conservatives have him somewhere among the top, but not necessarily there. The way I see him, he was a tyrant.

Without sugarcoating or pushing it, here is a list of what he did:
-Interned many people based solely on their nationality (He interned American-born Japanese as well)
-Declared war on Japan
-Brought us the "New Deal" (both the first and second one)
-Founded the Social Security Administration
-Got us out of the Great Depression (increased wartime production)

Notice these are only the bigger things, and I'm going to leave a lot of things out for the sake of time. In 1942, less than a year after the U.S. entered the war, he signed executive order 9066, which calls for the internment of Japanese Americans on the West coast. There were numerous camps in the Mohave Desert region and as far away as Arkansas. While many people got to live their normal lives in these camps, many were forced to sell their property and quit their jobs to live a new one in the camp. If this is not the ultimate act of tyranny, I do not know what is. Taking citizens (Yes, he did take American-born citizens) and forcing them to relocate or be arrested based solely on their race is eerily similar to the ways Adolf Hitler had Jews sent to "work camps" where most of them died.

The next thing, which basically was a bump in the road, is WWII. Most history textbooks credit him with "declaring" the war, which is too much. After Pearl Harbor, it would be political suicide to not declare a war against Japan.

He founded the Social Security Administration and brought us the "New Deal", which is basically a way for the government to create jobs and promote economic growth. Social Security is one of the most flawed agencies within the government. It brought us the food stamp, a small piece of paper that can now allow poor families to buy anything at their local grocery store. Social Security is essentially what it says in its name, Social Administration. It takes taxpayers' money and brings it to others in form of things like food stamps. This was the onset of our modern Medicaid/Medicare and Obama-care. The New Deal was a WWII-era "stimulus" package and a government-promoting set of laws at the same time. It gave money to state and local businesses, but created Federal Jobs like the WPA. It also brought the minimum wage, which only causes economic stagnation. If it weren't for the wartime production, I'm sure as hell the U.S. would have it's head stuck up it's ass.

Since getting us out of the Great Depression is something FDR is often credited with, I'd like to point out why its false. During the war, it was companies like Boeing that helped boost the GDP. They could create a B-29 in a matter of days. FDR only declared the war. He did not guide the armies or navies. He did, provoke the Japanese to attack the U.S. We had embargoed them, told them to move out of China and expected them not to attack us? If anything, he should be credited with being the founder of what is crippling today's economy and bringing the US into the war.

Fun facts:
-Even though internment camps were installed, many Japanese joined the US Army's 442nd Regiment, which is today, the most highly decorated military unit in US history. This shows how far people are willing to go for freedom.
-President Roosevelt signed the most executive orders with 3,522.
-10 Japanese spies were found through the war, all of whom were white.
-More German/Italian spies were found, yet none of them were interned.

Remember, the more you know, the more free you are.

Oxymoron of the year: Liberty Tax

I can't help but notice these idiots when I head to school. What the hell was the CEO thinking when he made "Liberty Tax"?

Rand Paul wins CPAC Straw Poll Vote with 25%


Rand Paul, a rising libertarian-right Senator from Kentucky, is known for his recent filibuster, a 13-hour impromptu argument against the usage of drones on American citizens without due process. He gained a lot of attention from the rest of Congress, both positive and negative.

He won in a close vote against Rubio of Florida, who received 23% of the vote. Rick Santorum and Chris Christie both won 8% and 7% respectively.

He is following in the footsteps of his father, former Senator Ron Paul of Texas, who won the straw poll in 2010 and 2011. Mitt Romney won the 2012 straw poll, which turned out as his nomination as the GOP presidential nominee.

Congratulations to Sen. Paul, good luck to him in 2016!

1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It's Time For A National Conversation.

To any Libertarian, this article will not have been hot news. The DHS (Department of Homeland Security) buying 1.6 billion rounds should be astonishing to everyone, but like today's important topics, it is nowhere to be seen on the mainstream news.

Allow me to help you put this into perspective:

The DHS, which is responsible for domestic interventions only (within the U.S. borders, not foreign military operations), has 1.6 billion bullets. Hollow-point bullets, which build up a bulk of the stash, are restricted for use in war by the Geneva Convention. Therefore, they can only be used in the U.S., not to mention 400,000 of these are sniper-specific bullets.

At the height of the Iraq War, approximately 5.5-6 million bullets were used up in a month.

5.5-6 million bullets * 12 months = 66-72 million bullets a year

1.6 billion divided by 66-72 million = roughly 20-22 years of possible war

While it is unlikely the American government is going to be host of a 20-22 year civil war, it is very likely that those bullets are a result of something much bigger. There are roughly 313 million citizens in the country, so if we divided the amount of bullets by the number of citizens, they have about 5 bullets per citizen. If that doesn't frighten you, I don't know what will.

There are 3 things to remember in this topic (yes, they are factual):

#1) The U.S. government has purchased hollow-point bullets, which are specifically designed to kill people!

#2) Gun Control has been the first step to dictatorship in many past totalitarian countries, and the people were deceived to thinking that guns were the problem! (Which is exactly what is happening here...)

#3) While the military servicemen most likely will not want to participate in a tyrannical act, the TSA agents are not bound by any law. There is nothing stopping them from declaring you a "terrorist" and detaining/incarcerating you, as we have seen in so many airports.

I did not write this article for you to just read and shrug it off as another conspiracy. Instead, I will point you in the direction of a few laws and events that have happened recently and will directly benefit ONLY the DHS.

NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) - Allows the indefinite detention of American citizens without fair trial

PATRIOT Act - Allows the government to spy/wiretap anyone they believe is a criminal/terrorist

Rand Paul's Filibuster - A nearly 13-hour protest against drone strikes and drone usage in the U.S., which should be a no-brainer, right? Who wants to be hit by a drone strike while they're sleeping?

These events are why bullets and guns are being purchased at an unprecedented and crazy rate. Americans have stockpiled billions of bullets, AR-15s tripled in value, and the citizens are realizing that their guns are the barrier between freedom and slavery.
