Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.

Aggression and forced redistribution of wealth has nothing to do with the teachings of the world's great religions.

Astonishingly, American taxpayers now will be forced to finance a multi-billion dollar jobs program in Iraq. Suddenly the war is about jobs. We export our manufacturing jobs to Asia, and now we plan to export our welfare jobs to Iraq, all at the expense of the poor and the middle class here at home.

1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.

When people become frightened, they look for things of real value. They will go to monetary metals, gold and silver, and they will buy other things, such as buying property. But no matter what we have, whether we have our gold coins or we have our property, if we have an authoritarian government, that is our greatest threat. So, I would like to think that there is no perfect protection, other than shrinking the size and scope and power of government, so that we can be left alone and take care of ourselves.

Republican control of the Senate = expanded neocon wars in Syria and Iraq. Boots on the ground are coming!

They ask me if I'm going to quit. I thought we were just getting started. We have a revolution to fight, a country to change.
