Why Ron Paul should be President (reason 2,342)
I actually think Cavuto's head is going to explode at the thought of a different way to look at the income tax (not that his head isn't gianormous already):

If YOUR Presidential candidate is not saying something like this, he's probably a fascist and wants to make you his/her slave.

Tamper Proof National ID cards
Another thing that Giuliani has been advocating is this idea of a national ID card. It shows how far the GOP has come that this is even up for discussion as a plank in a party that Goldwater and Reagan once epitomized. Here is my opinion on a National ID Card in response to a couple of Newsmax.com opinion pieces that showed up here and here:
The idea of a "fool-proof, tamper proof ID" is silly on its face. Set aside for a moment the obvious un-Constitutionality of having such an ID. The "fool-proof" and "tamper proof" characteristics for an ID would last about as long as it would take for a criminal enterprise to make their own, or steal the equipment to make their own, or hack into the database that would store our citizens info. Think about the HD DVD encryption code that was recently hacked and posted online. A private enterprise spent years and untold millions developing that technology to secure their information. The code for it was posted on the internet and all of that work was rendered useless. I'm a conservative and I don't think government could do any better (government would be able to spend more money, but the end result would be the same). Nothing is fool proof, or tamper proof, banks still get robbed, cars still get stolen if the incentive for doing so is great enough and the risk in doing so is acceptable. I believe that being able to access the personal information of every single one of our citizens in a national database would be invaluable and ripe for abuse and fraud and exploitation, by an individual, a criminal enterprise, or a government (our own or someone else, see the cyberwar between Russia and Estonia as only the latest example)
My solution for solving illegal immigration? Decidedly low tech: A) build the wall (the one Congress authorized but did not fund). B) eliminate the minimum wage - let our own citizens compete for the jobs that employers want to hire illegals for. The argument goes that illegals do jobs that our citizens won't do. The reality is honest employers can't hire someone whose output is worth $3 per hour if they have to pay them $7. C) Go after employers who hire illegals D) bring back Eisenhower's "Operation Wetback" E) this could go with B - eliminate all entitlements for illegals, welfare, Social Security, schooling, etc. My solutions try to eliminate the incentives for illegals to cross the border for economic reasons. Terrorists who want to sneak into our country and attack us? That's a whole other response.

Yoga with Tara Stiles of Ford Models
I gotta admit this about Tara Stiles. She's a model, into yoga, if she were into politics and economics and the Constitution and could cook I'd marry her.

The CIA's "Family Jewels"
Kidnapping, illegal wiretapping, "behavior modification" programs and experimentation on unwitting citizens, assasination plots, all of it sounds straight out of a Robert Ludlum novel. Not quite, it is the work of the CIA. Recently released documentation of the "Family Jewels" show that all the kooks might be right.
The release from the National Security Archive and additional documentation.
I'm just waiting for the press conference where the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in his full on General uniform with all the medals to roll out a little red wagon with a blanket over the top and for him to pull it off exclaim "Yes, it's also true, we are not alone in this world!" and then ET comes out.

The big question is, and I hope yes is the answer, is, will all of this internet popularity translate into actual votes?

A quaint lesson in history
According to this AP article, there is a boutique hotel in Germany that has as its theme "East Germany, 1985":
The four clocks behind the reception desk of Berlin's new budget hotel
Ostel show the hour in Moscow, Berlin, Havana, and Beijing. Time, however,
appears to have stopped here sometime before 1989, when communism was still
entrenched in all four capitals.
The Ostel offers a renewed whiff of life in the former German Democratic
Republic, welcoming travelers with portraits of communist leaders adorning the
walls.
Furnishings — except for mattresses, bed linens, sink and toilets — are the
real thing, dug up by founders Daniel Helbig and Guido Sand from flea markets,
friends, family and eBay.
And once again, freedom, capitalism and the free market prevail.

What's wrong with the Siege at Ed and Elaine Brown's House?
Whether you agree or not with the position that Ed and Elaine Brown have taken regarding the income tax there will be some sort of resolution to this situation. It is not without a hint of irony that New Hampshire, the live free or die state, is the setting for a showdown between the government and its citizens. Like it or not, the way that the government handles this should be scrutinized as thoroughly as possible because, truly, if the government comes knocking at your door, this could be what to expect.
Why would Randy Weaver, of Ruby Ridge fame, be compelled to meet up with the Browns? What circumstances justify the use of SWAT teams, snipers, helicopters, etc. for a couple with no history of violence? Sure, they are telling the government to go fuck themselves, but isn’t that part of our national character? There is a peaceful way to settle this standoff, according to Ed and Elaine, show them the law. Why doesn’t the government just show them the law?
There is something more insidious at work here. It is the not so subtle message that you can’t tell the government to pound sand and get away with it. Sure, the government is okay with subsidizing urine soaked crucifixes as artistic expression, but demand them to show you which law you are breaking and you aint gettin’ nuthin. It is the ultimate statement of arrogance on the part of the government. We as citizens should be as, if not more, outraged at this situation as we are about the comprehensive immigration garbage that is being shoved down our throat AGAIN. Following is a link o rama regarding Ed and Elaine:
WMUR is a local TV station with video on Ed and Elaine Browns public statement today
We the People has an overview of what has led to this standoff
Here's the official myspace profile
This is an AP wire story on the Browns and Randy Weaver
Danny Riley is a friend of the Browns who was literally walking the dog and stumbled on government snipers casing the Brown residence. Here's his video account of his encounter with the feds. He got tasered, he was held for questioning and then admonished not to talk about his experience to the press.
