From Mr. Darash's videolog:
Although this series of the Washington Ron Paul Freedom March starts off with our beloved Ron Paul (key note speaker) you will be missing out if you don't watch the other hero's working with Ron Paul to reinstate our Constitution, in the videos following. Trust me these "brave" freedom fighters will give you encouragement and you will be glad that you listened.
There will be a total of 26 parts to this series of up loads and they will be uploaded as I edit them. The first three (3) parts start with Ron Paul who is introduced by Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin [which was actually the end of the rally]. Part 4 through 26 has been edited in the order that the events happened starting with the march then a few songs and then the speeches. This was a great event and had some powerful and informative speakers. Again, I strongly advise you to watch the entire series. Check back for more uploads as I edit and upload them.
Get involved join the Revolution, only "We the People" can really make the change necessary to secure our Liberty. This indeed is "The Last Call for Liberty". United we stand and divided we fall go to www.campaignforliberty.com and take a stand for Liberty. The Revolution Continues.

Must I say this yet again?
Cops have very low IQ`S.
It is very east to turned down for the Academy.If you IQ is over 100...you will have a very hard time being accepted by the others..
Cops are hired when they have showed that they will do just what they are told to do,and,agree that they will not use their own mind(s).
Cops take an "Oath",to defend the "Constitution",yet it means nothing at all to them,the "Oath",Or,the "Constitution".
Talk to ANY COP you see in you neighborhood...You will soon find out that what I say is true..90% of them are Idiots.
Anyway!!! We should not worry about the NAZI COPS.We can`t even stop the "MSM".

This analogy completely misses the point. The typical speculator is not at all interested in owning a drop of oil, not one pork belly, nor one ounce of frozen orange juice. He only wishes to capitalize on what he hopes will be an increase in the future value of that commodity, by purchasing a promise to be able to buy x amount of that commodity in the future for less than what it will then be worth; and primarily to others who are similarly disinterested in actually acquiring that commodity.
In this case, a speculator would have gone to the candy broker and offered to purchase an option to buy candy bars next year for 60 cents, since he has also heard that they will be 75 cents next year (or so he hopes). Next year he can sell his 60 cent option for 70 cents and both he and his buyer each can reap a profit. But WHY is the candy bar going to be 75 cents? I posit that without the speculative transaction, the price would not have risen beyond the 60 cents; the balance has gone to the speculators. Who's getting screwed here? The consumer AND the booster club snack bar, who not only pay for the candy, but also for the profits skimmed off by the speculators, who don't even want the candy.

The challenge offer is on www.shoenforcongress.com, on the page titled "9/11 Nonsense". I am offering a total of $20,000 composed of two $10,000 challenges. To receive a cash award, an applicant must review the evidence and state in writing that the WTC buildings collapsed as a result of aircraft impact and fire and not as a result of explosives. No takers yet, presumably because no intelligent person, after reviewing the evidence, would conclude that the buildings collapsed as a result of aircraft impact and fire and not as a result of explosives. Try it. www.shoenforcongress.com

This is a classic story of once you are on the government's radar you do not get off no matter what a jury says. They ultimately get you for something completely unrelated to what they originally accused you of, and in the end it is hard to see what you are convicted of as being a crime ... except they say it is. And you get bankrupt, buried in prison and in Mr. Al-Arain's case booted out of the country, and if the government is lucky, tortured incommunicado to death in your country of origin.

I remember MISh had a great tip on rolling CDs into WaMu who were offering a great return (4.25%) compared to everyone else of less than 1%. Of course the taxpayers are covering the CDs up to $100,000. My brother would like to say, thank you taxpayers!

Catherine,
Just look at the Two Presidential Candidates Americans have to chose from.
Look at how Americans are jumping up and down for the likes of McCain,and,Obama.
The-Once Great America-will DIE in it`s sleep.
I challange anyone to stand on any corner,ask the first 100 Real Americans questions about the state of America,and,see how many informed,intellegent answers you get.
If you can,somehow,listen to the entire 100 answers without feeling "Lost in Space",or,at least feel that you are on a different planet,my hat is off to you. "America will Die in it`s Sleep"

It is easy to not "disagree" with freedom. But do you have the courage to actually live free, and more importantly let others have their freedom? I thought not.

Heck, if the US government uses tax payer dollars (what other kind do they have?) to bail out two government lending companies who made a pile of unwise lending (of taxpayer money) -- okay, they actually just put some numbers on a loan app and "lended" it effectively printing up money without there ever actually being money -- .in which they end up with the deeds on a bunch of repoed houses it will be the greatest land theft since we stole all that land from the Indians or the Mexicans.

Like Mr. Renzulli, many libertarians oppose capital punishment on the grounds he stated:
"...how can anyone who pretends to understand the corruptible and inherently coercive essence of government ever defend the right of the state to kill people? ...Think about it. With our reluctance to maximize government power, the only sensible position any libertarian can take is to support allowing juries to sentence murderers to life in prison without the possibility of parole."
Mr. Renzulli and others miss an equally problematic point: on what grounds do libertarians favor having a coercive government:
(1) use lethal coercive force against innocent citizens to extract tax money to
(2) keep a known murderer -- who is a danger to everyone -- alive?
As Walter Williams has clearly explained, the tax laws are enforced by threat of death. Walk through the sequence of events if you refuse to pay taxes and refuse to be dragged into custody ... and at the end of the sequence is you getting killed ... all because the government has been given the power to enforce tax laws by lethal force.
The "life imprisonment" option for murderers is what Mr. Renzulli and others favor, and that option currently is lethal-coercive tax funded.
So there is a grave moral problem of forcing -- with threat of death -- the living persons who suffer because of the murder to pay to keep the murderer alive.
Yes -- if your parent, sibling, or child is murdered, under Mr. Renzulli's regime, you'd be coercively taxed to support the murderer for life.
How is it morally right, under libertarian principles, to empower the "inherently corruptible" government to use lethal force to coerce crime victims to pay to keep the aggressor alive and well for his entire remaining life?
Frankly, I don't think it is morally acceptable under libertarian principles.
It would be morally acceptable, under libertarian principles, for Mr. Renzulli and his colleagues to raise funds voluntarily to keep murderers alive. If Mr. Renzulli is serious about his anti-capital punishment position, then to be consistent he must encourage an all-volunteer "keep the murderers alive" funding campaign.
It will be interesting to see whether Mr. Renzulli or his colleagues jump to that opportunity to convert the tax-coercive life imprisonment system into a voluntarily-funded charity.

I do not know how to say this politely.
Bush and his ILK - the entire cabal is CRAZY for trying to start another war. Israel is too!
People should be up in arms about this man and ALL of his policies.
It is time to nip the NWO Republicans and NWO Democrats in the bud.
The only people who had a clue on stopping this madness were RON PAUL and DENNIS K.
I was for PAUL. I was for PAUL in 1988 too.
I can think of a few good Claire Wolfe's lines right now.
NO more wars. STOP ALL FUNDING and end all manpower in all of these countries worldwide. BRING the troops home - ASAP!
IKE had a clue and warned us about the MIC.
Our Founding Fathers warned us about foreign entanglements.
Bring them on home now! TELL all of the countries worldwide including ISRAEL to get their $$$, goods and support elsewhere if they want to stay in a constant state of WAR!

Absolutely, positively, totally, completely and 100% right on!!! This is absolutely true, the Bush gang is anti-gun, and gun rights are essential for us to protect ourselves.
The right to keep and bear the inanimate objects known as "guns" is a God-given right.
BTW, I am not sure these comments that I post in this manner on FreedomsPhoenix are read at all. If anyone reads this please e-mail me at aliceprez@aol.com and let me know. Thanks.

"In April, the Senate approved a nonbinding resolution declaring that Mr. McCain is eligible to be president. Its sponsors said the nation's founders would have never intended to deny the presidency to the offspring of military personnel stationed out of the country."
The founding fathers never intended to have military personnel stationed out of the country. Period.

Tom,
You wrote:
"All people should have the right to own land as personal property like is done everywhere else in the world. Only the person who's name is on the deed has any claim to the land, and the deed has no reference to race or religion. Then the owner can buy and sell based own his own judgment."
This should not only apply to Israel, but to Saudi Arabia, Africa, India, and all countries. Maybe it is time to get rid of any government that practices bigotry and discrimination based on religion and/or race. The problem is, that would be relatively impossible to do because there are so many Arabic nations - a daunting task. It is easier to focus on getting rid of one tiny Israeli government. Maybe that is why so many focus on Israel and leave the grievous human rights abuses in the Arab countries alone.

Like Ahmajinadad said, the Israeli government must go. All people should have the right to own land as personal property like is done everywhere else in the world. Only the person who's name is on the deed has any claim to the land, and the deed has no reference to race or religion. Then the owner can buy and sell based own his own judgment. This is not conducive to the charter of the Israeli government.

1. How can you be a settler when they are not in peaceful possesion of the property?
2. The term Jewish settler is straight out of a jewish spin machine.
TIP: Tell the Jews to get the hell off the palestinian land and you won't have any settler problems:)
