Republicans / GOP - Can You Hear This?? Ron Paul Was Correct!

This is easily one of the best youtube videos I have seen in some time.  The Republican Party REFUSED to truly listen to Ron Paul Republicans.  At every turn they tried to block Ron Paul's access, During debates they made jabs at him to make him seem incompetent.

SADLY, the Republican Party did not listen.  In fact, even after the election in a special Republican Party GOP meeting, to essentially move forward after a horrible loss, - Ron Paul was not invited!

Ron Paul was correct and this is a HUGE "told you so moment"!  Again will Republicans learn from their mistakes?  Many die-hard Republicans are having a difficult time seeing the difference between Republicans and Democrats right now.  Listen now Republicans before the economy collapses in 2009-10 and rolls into a Great Depression.  Laugh now, make jokes, deny again - Ron Paul Republicans pray that there will never be another "we told you so moment".

This video is INCREDIBLE.  It starts out slow and then WOW!  Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and many news reporters really look like fools when you compare the time-line (Before and After) in this video. 

Many believe Ron Paul Republicans were just a craze phase and will disappear.  GOP if you still think this you will once again lose election after election.  While the GOP is still talking Reagan they should have been listening to Ron Paul.  Educate yourself and join the Campaign for Liberty now!

Americans Should Be Furious! Thirty Reasons Why The Second Great Depression Is Coming

30 Reasons why we are headed towards a great depression

Source:  Paul B. Farrell

1.  America's credit rating may soon be downgraded below AAA
2.  Fed refusal to disclose $2 trillion loans, now the new "shadow banking system"
3.  Congress has no oversight of $700 billion, and Paulson's Wall Street Trojan Horse
4.  King Henry Paulson flip-flops on plan to buy toxic bank assets, confusing markets
5.  Goldman, Morgan lost tens of billions, but planning over $13 billion in bonuses this year
6.  AIG bails big banks out of $150 billion in credit swaps, protects shareholders before taxpayers
7.  American Express joins Goldman, Morgan as bank holding firms, looking for Fed money
8.  Treasury sneaks corporate tax credits into bailout giveaway, shifts costs to states
9.  State revenues down, taxes and debt up; hiring, spending, borrowing add even more debt
10. State, municipal, corporate pensions lost hundreds of billions on derivative swaps
11. Hedge funds: 610 in 1990, almost 10,000 now. Returns down 15%, liquidations up
12. Consumer debt way up, now at $2.5 trillion; next area for credit meltdowns
13. Fed also plans to provide billions to $3.6 trillion money-market fund industry
14. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are bleeding cash, want to tap taxpayer dollars
15. Washington manipulating data: War not $600 billion but estimates actually $3 trillion
16. Hidden costs of $700 billion bailout are likely $5 trillion; plus $1 trillion Street write-offs
17. Commodities down, resource exporters and currencies dropping, triggering a global meltdown
18. Big three automakers near bankruptcy; unions, workers, retirees will suffer
19. Corporate bond market, both junk and top-rated, slumps more than 25%
20. Retailers bankrupt: Circuit City, Sharper Image, Mervyns; mall sales in free fall
21. Unemployment heading toward 8% plus; more 1930's photos of soup lines
22. Government policy is dictated by 42,000 myopic, highly paid, greedy lobbyists
23. China's sees GDP growth drop, crates $586 billion stimulus; deflation is now global, hitting even Dubai
24. Despite global recession, U.S. trade deficit continues, now at $650 billion
25. The 800-pound gorillas: Social Security, Medicare with $60 trillion in unfunded liabilities
26. Now 46 million uninsured as medical, drug costs explode
27. New-New Deal: U.S. planning billions for infrastructure, adding to unsustainable debt
28. Outgoing leaders handicapping new administration with huge liabilities
29. The "antitaxes" message is a new bubble, a new version of the American dream offering a free lunch, no sacrifices, exposing us to more false promises

Will the next meltdown, the third of the 21st Century, trigger a second Great Depression? Or will the 2007-08 crisis simply morph into a painful extension of today's mess to 2011 and beyond, with no new bull market, no economic recovery as our new president hopes?

Perhaps some of the first 29 problems may be solved separately, but collectively, after building on a failed ideology, they spell disaster.

So listen closely to "leading indicator" No. 30:

At a recent Reuters Global Finance Summit former Goldman Sachs chairman John Whitehead was interviewed. He was also Ronald Reagan's Deputy Secretary of State and a former chairman of the N.Y. Fed. He says America's problems will take years and will burn trillions.

He sees "nothing but large increases in the deficit ... I think it would be worse than the depression. ... Before I go to sleep at night, I wonder if tomorrow is the day Moody's and S&P will announce a downgrade of U.S. government bonds." It'll get worse because "the public is not prepared to increase taxes. Both parties were for reducing taxes, reducing income to government, and both parties favored a number of new programs, all very costly and all done by the government."

Reuters concludes: "Whitehead said he is speaking out on this topic because he is concerned no lawmakers are against these new spending programs and none will stand up and call for higher taxes. 'I just want to get people thinking about this, and to realize this is a road to disaster,' said Whitehead. 'I've always been a positive person and optimistic, but I don't see a solution here.'"

We see the Great Depression 2. Why? Wall Street's self-interested greed. They are their own worst enemy ... and America's too.

As Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur states:

"The people of the United States had better WAKE UP!"

Listen (click link above) to how she explains America will look in the near future and who is at fault!! 

Thank you Congresswoman Kaptur for speaking out when many of our elected officials lack the courage to do so.

Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty Gives Thumbs Up for Tim Walberg

Excellent article on Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty blog.  The most devastating loss in Michigan in November was Tim Walberg's loss to Liberal Mark Schauer.  Tim Walberg is a true patriot of liberty, as pointed out in Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty blog, he voted twice against the bailout.  The bailout will only mean that taxpayers and their children will become financial slaves to the tax burden created by this bailout.

"Michigan's Tim Walberg lost his seat, too, though. Walberg voted against the Great Robbery both times."

Glad the Campaign for Liberty recognizes Tim Walberg for being a true patriot and one who fights for his constituents.  Special thanks for doing this!

As Ron Paul stated there are probably even more bailouts on the horizon which the government will ram down our throats.  The greatest loss to Michigan is Tim Walberg.  Too bad the National RNC did not have the intelligence to figure this out before the loss. 

I personally wrote the RNC a total of five times regarding the need for them to step it up a notch on helping Tim Walberg.  Number of times they responded - ZERO. 

The Michigan Republicans and the RNC are trying to figure out what happened this election and the direction they should go.  GIVE US MORE CANDIDATES LIKE TIM WALBERG AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE REPUBLICANS GOING TO VOTE.  More and more I am seeing virtually no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Non-Custodial Father Meets With Daughter's First-Grade Teacher

I had the pleasure of meeting with my first-grade daughter's teacher for about an hour earlier today.

The purpose of this early parent-teacher conference was to discuss some difficulties my first-grade daughter is having in class so far this year.  The school's principle was also in attendance.  Both of my daughters also listened in to the constructive ideas and informative sharing that took place.

Everyone essential to forming a constructive plan to assist my daughter in improvement early this school year, before the situation continues or worsens, was in attendance, EXCEPT my ex-wife-the mother of both my daughters.

I had addressed the situation with her last week, and she had "agreed" with me that we need to address our concerns jointly, as is our responsibility as parents, even as divorced ones.  However, she afterwards to the teacher and principle expressed "her need" for a separate meeting. 

Instead of choosing to be an active participant, with both parents and concerned parties in attendance, HER needs came first.

She has not had such a meeting, with anyone at the school.  She does not have one scheduled.  Her first answer to me, when I expressed my concern with our daughter, and the difficulties this school year to date was "so?"  When I expressed my desire for a joint conference to discuss and address our concerns, she agreed with me that this was something we both needed to address, and together.

But, in the end, she did not care to attend this essential conference.

Whenever she does choose to meet with anyone at the school, it will be for a "bash dad" session, as she has done before.  She has withheld important information from me concerning our youngest-in whose best interests is this?

As a loving, caring, and ACTIVE father in the lives of my daughters, I find this to be yet another intolerable and unacceptable lack of concern on her part.  Yet, SHE was "proclaimed" the custodial parent-the one BEST able to care for our daughters.....Title IV-D dollars-look what you have done for my first-grader.....

She has failed to do a single thing for either of our daughters to warrant receiving a judge's blessing to raise them-in reality, she has done much to show her incapacities, and complete inability to do so properly.

The words "fit, willing, and able" are not just words to me.  They show the very clear difference between parents who want to raise their children the best they can, as every child deserves, and those who use their children as a "meal ticket", living off of the child support, and every other government handout they can possibly get from the children they have "custody" of.

Even more astounding-just watch the family law court system "protect" the mother, and sit there, clueless, about what is in "the best interests of the child".

Once again, Michigan legislature, WHY do you REFUSE to pass The Equal Parenting Bill, House Bill 4564, and House Joint Resolution NN, the proposed "Parental Rights Constitutional Amendment", so loving, caring, and fit parents can raise their children?  WHY????

My daughters NEED these changes to our state laws-they NEED their father to be allowed to raise them.  I am being DENIED the right to do so.

"In the best interests of the child", is how they summarize their decisions.  I DON"T THINK SO!!!!

I see, even more now than before, the necessity of telling this to the American public.  I cannot help but wonder, how many other kids have a parent like the mother of my children, and how many other non-custodial parents fight for the best education for their kids, WITHOUT the interest, concern, and participation of the other parent????

Dr. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D. Speaks About the 2008 Presidential Election and the impact on Families and Fatherhood

Dr. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D., author of Taken Into Custody, was in Okemos Michigan recently and spoke at the Battle of Ideas which is produced by John Mangopoulos.  John produces an incredible show!

In the video below Murray B. Davis, President of the National Family Justice Association, asks a question to Dr. Stephen Baskerville about the 2008 Presidential Election and the potential effects on families.  Keep this in mind about Barack Obama, which is not mentioned in the video below.  Barack Obama is the main sponsor for the Responsible Fatherhood Act and the contents of this bill makes it clear that Barack Obama is not good for fathers in America.  In this bill he mentions child support 65 times, but NOT ONCE does he mention parenting time, custody, visitation, or access denial.  There is much more to being a father than just paying your child support!  All this bill does is further stereotype all fathers as deadbeats.  Phyllis Schlafly discusses this.  Honestly, I am not thrilled over either one of our choices this year for President.

If you have not purchased a copy of Taken Into Custody, please do so now and you will have something eye-opening to read.  This is one of the best researched books I have read in a long time and includes over 47 pages of research reference notes.  Here is the Amazon.com description of Taken Into Custody:

Why is the American family in crisis? Taken Into Custody argues that the most direct cause is the divorce industry: a government-run system that tears apart families, separates children from fit and loving parents, confiscates the wealth of families, and turns law-abiding citizens into criminals in ways they are powerless to avoid.

Taken Into Custody explores:

Why the "deadbeat dad" is not only a myth but a hoax, the creation of government officials and lawyers who plunder parents whose children they have taken away.

How hysterical propaganda about domestic violence is destroying families, endangering children, and making criminals of innocent parents.

The real causes of child abuse and how the abuse industry willfully ignores them
What drives the rash of "parental kidnappings".

How family courts operate as if there is no Bill of Rights, denying parents their constitutional legal protections

Taken Into Custody exposes the greatest and most destructive civil rights abuse in America today. Family courts and Soviet-style bureaucracies trample basic civil liberties, entering homes uninvited and taking away people's children at will, then throwing the parents into jail without any form of due process, much less a trial. No parent, no child, no family in America is safe.

The Fourteenth Amendment To The United States Constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment is actually quite lengthy, comprising several sections, and addressing  separate topics.

However, the second sentence in Section 1 is of relevance to this post:  "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

Please read that sentence again.

The Fourteenth Amendment was drafted and ratified a long time ago, and was done for very specific reasons.

Michigan's family law judges obviously cannot read.

Michigan's Friend of the Court conciliators and custody evaluators obviously cannot read, either.

Maybe all of these judicial bureaucrats, elected and otherwise, have forgotten the Oath of Office that they all swore to uphold.  At least, all of them were SUPPOSED to sign and swear to an oath supporting the Constitution of The United States, and that of the state in which they are taking office or appointment.

Why, then, are the 14th Amendment rights of EVERY parent and EVERY child in nearly EVERY child custody hearing in Michigan violated and ignored?

Even the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Troxel  vs. Granville (2000), has upheld the liberty interests of parents.  Justice O'Connor stated, in The Court's opinion, "the liberty interest at issue...the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental interests recognized by this Court", and "it cannot now be doubted that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children." 

Family law judges have sworn to uphold the Constitution of this country.

THEY HAVE FAILED.

Citizens of The United States of America, are you going to allow this to continue, or are YOU going to take action, NOW?

MICHIGAN JUDICIAL CANDIDATE RIDES BICYCLE FROM LANSING TO DC IN SUPPORT OF FAMILY COURT REFORM

Grand Rapids, Michigan August 6, 2008  - Brian Downs, a Kent County attorney and candidate for Judge in the Kent County 17th Circuit Court in the November election is riding his bicycle 758 miles from the Capitol in Lansing to the nation's Capitol in Washington DC.  Downs along with 3 other riders are signaling a message that Family Courts throughout the nation are not family friendly.  The Equal Parenting Bike Trek has been organized to bring attention to what he believes should be reform in the nations court system.

Brian Downs, who has been a family advocate for the past 7 years, believes that it is the duty of our nation to protect the parent child relationship and repair this relationship when necessary so that children maintain a loving relationship with their entire biological family.  Downs believes that the nation's family court system does more splitting up of families than protecting and maintaining this most important and primary relationship.

Minister Ronald Smith, CEO of Children Need Both Parents, Inc, a non-profit group located in both Chicago and Grand Rapids stated, "Our family court judges pay little attention to the damage being done to our children removing one or both biological parents from a child's life without making a concerted effort that no stone is left unturned to repair and maintain this God Given relationship."

Downs is scheduled to leave Lansing at 2:00pm EST August 7th and scheduled to arrive at the Family Preservation Festival in DC on August 15-16.

Senior Citizens Organization for Parental Equality (SCOPE)

When it comes to the divorce of two parents that have children people think of the two parents and the children in the middle of the divorce.

In order for the state and the court system to make money through Title IV-D federal incentives, one of the fit and willing parents must be forced into the role of the non-custodial parent.  Sadly, children go from seeing this parent on a daily basis and then suddenly the typical 4-6 days a month.  Children have the fundamental right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated equally by both fit and willing parents after a divorce.  To deny this is child abuse.

The pain of this child abuse also affects the parents of the non-custodial parent.  Grandparents are then forced to see less of their grandchildren.  This is abusive not only to the children but to the grandparents as well.  Grandparents, from both sides of the family tree, play an important role in the development of their grandchildren.  How do grandparents in this situation deal with all of this pain?  The pain of seeing their child become a non-custodial parent and being forced away from their child by no choice of their own or the child's.  Grandparents must also endure the pain of seeing less of their own grandchildren.

Grandparent are increasingly becoming involved in the Shared Parenting movement and are joining in the fight against child abuse that is sponsored by a bitter spouse and the court system. 

I encourage all grandparents to visit SCOPE - Senior Citizens Organization for Parental Equality and become involved in what is in the best interest of their grandchildren.  Another organization that I can personally recommend is Three Sides to Every Story, Inc.  Grandparents!  There is a place for you to make a difference.

Michigan House Bill 4564 and Michigan House Joint Resolution NN in the Kalamazoo Gazette

Yet another LTE printed by A Child's Right.  Darrick Scott-Farnsworth in the Kalamzazoo Gazette.

Support Equal Parenting Measures in Legislature

It is time for Michigan to recognize and for citizens to demand there be a fundamental right to parent your children within the state's constitution and family law. To this end, I implore everyone to actively support both the ``parental rights'' resolution and House Bill 4564, the ``equal parenting bill.''

Children are a part of the family and they have the right to the love of both of their parents and their extended family, too. Allowing the state, without due process of law through the courts and government child welfare bureaucracies, to interrupt the child-parent relationship has destroyed many childhoods and caused untold damage to our society.

Parents should have the right to decide how their children are educated and medicated as long as there is no clear evidence that these choices will seriously harm their children. Demonstrating to children that the family is important by making sure that both parents and the entire family are respected will give children the courage to have a family of their own.

In divorce cases, the state is allowed, through the supposed best interest of the child criteria, to pressure most fathers to relinquish custody to the mother or be denied custody in court because they want to create winners and losers instead of promoting joint custody.

HB 4564 and Resolution NN will help ensure that children will have the stability and love of both of their fit, willing and able parents.

Fiction: 
Most children are satisfied with the amount
of time they spend (or spent) with their fathers
after their parents divorce.

Fact: 
The vast majority of children say they want –
or wanted - more time with their fathers after
their parents stopped living together. Kids
want more shared parenting. 1-16 (See references in pdf file above.)

Fiction:
Shared parenting is less important than good
mothering because fathers know so much
less about raising kids than moms do.

Fact:

Fathers contribute as much as mothers to
children’s well-being, even if their ways of
parenting are different. 12, 17, 29-31

Fiction:

Children dislike shared parenting if they actually
have to live part time in both parents’
homes, moving back & forth.

Fact:

Kids who live part time with each parent after
divorce prefer this to living only with one

Michigan Shared Parenting Advocate Will Formally Announce his Candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District Today

PRESS RELEASE
Feb 25 2008

For Immediate Release

Scott Hudson

Michigan Shared Parenting Advocate Will Formally Announce his Candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District Today.

Waterford, Michigan - February 25, 2008 -

On February 25, 2008 Scott Hudson of Waterford will formally announce his candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District.

Hudson has already filed petitions to qualify for the open seat which represents all of Waterford, Lake Angelus, and the northwest portion of West Bloomfield, and is running as a Democrat.

The announcement will be made at the Oakland County courthouse auditorium at 1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac at 7:30 p.m. during a meeting of the Family Rights Coalition. 

Hudson believes that the integrity of the family must be respected and that the role of the family in America is vital.  The mother and father both need equal and full access to their children, and that the role of the state must be secondary to children having both parents in their lives.

The economy of Michigan needs to be strengthened so that the security of the home and family is not placed in jeopardy because of loose lending practices.  Michigan manufacturing needs to be supported with initiatives that encourage private investment.  New and emerging technologies from the great and innovative minds of Michiganders need to be encouraged.  Partnerships need to be encouraged so that wasteful duplication does not overly tax the people.

Hudson has served eight years on the Board of Directors of an electric utility and understands that there are things that can be done to encourage private investment in sustainable power generation that creates new jobs.

Hudson was elected Vice-President of the Waterford School Board of Education in 2005 and understands that education needs a reliable funding source, and that teachers need to be supported. 

As a nine year member of the Waterford Planning Commission Hudson supports efforts to encourage walkability without raising taxes, and to encourage healthy lifestyles through education, and example.  The Summit Place Mall area needs to be supported through private enterprise and not with government subsidies. 

There is a need for judicial reform.  It is unfair that Oakland County picks and chooses who they fund in the district court system.  The taxpayers of the 43rd District pay such expenses while other governmental entities are subsidized.

Unfunded mandates from the State and Federal government should not be allowed.  Public safety and revenue sharing are very important matters and these must be provided for.

Ron Paul Supporter Explains Why Noncustodial Parents Should Back Paul's Candidacy

Ron Paul Supporter Makes his case to fathers.

Ron Paul Exclusive Interview on Title IV-D Federal Incentives by On Second Thought TV with William J. Wagener

John McCain will Never Get Our Vote!

Our favorites are Ron Paul and Mitt Romney!  John McCain will NEVER get our vote!  Who will be running our country as John McCain takes his naps?

We will NOT vote for John McCain if he receives the Republican nomination for President. We are conservatives and we REFUSE to give him our vote.

John McCain is NO conservative and with the exception of his service to our country we do not like what he stands for – moving the Republican Party to the left.

He is FAR too liberal and it makes us ill to see what is currently happening to our party. Even if the Republican Party calls for unity around John McCain you will NEVER get us to vote for him. We also know MANY who feel the same way!

If McCain receives the nomination I know MANY conservatives who will either sit out on the November election or they will back a third party candidate. If McCain receives the nomination you will see all of the pundits talk about how conservatives sat out of the November 2008 election. Mark my word!

Republicans would be foolish to nominate McCain. There has been a lot of talk about Ronald Reagan during the Republican primaries. Republicans who are voting for McCain must be smoking something if they think that McCain is even close to Reagan. A Mitt Romney –Pres / Mike Huckabee – V.Pres. combination would be powerful and would defeat either Clinton or Obama! Once again, NOTHING could ever make us vote for John McCain as President. We know MANY who agree with us.

[amended] McCain's track record on fatherhood issues?


John McCain stance on father’s rights or equal parenting rights is horrible at best.


McCain – YouTube – using racist comment along with dismissing fatherhood concerns! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNGXB_qx0xk

Glenn Sacks has documented this well. You can find that here and here.

John McCain dismissed fatherhood concerns and used the racist term “tar-baby” when speaking to Tony Taylor an African-American Fathers Rights Advocate. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/03/16/mccain-apologizes-for-tar-baby-moment/
