		<description><![CDATA[On March 26 [2009], only two months after Barack Obama had been sworn in as President, I wrote and posted an article on "Constitutional Oaths". I also sent an email message to friends and family about the article with this message:

 "I proudly voted for Barack Obama for President of the United States. I never thought that I would so soon think that impeachment for violation of his Constitutional Oath of Office should be discussed. I feel sick and ashamed of my country.

http://lastfreevoice.wordpress.com/2010/01/30/constitutional-oaths-and-a-plea-to-president-obama-2/ 

"Right now I am feeling that there is no point in continuing giving a damn about any of it. I am about ready to unplug my TV, turn off my computer, crawl into my dark room and only come out to get a book, relieve myself and maybe eat. Our national evil has now passed to ANOTHER administration and I don't know if I can take it.

"I do NOT want anyone to call me or pester me about talking about this. My own words in the past and the news are very clear and speak for themselves. I am tired and I literally want to vomit. I don't think that this bridge can be unburned. Now, I just want the whole thing to collapse and get it over with. I am still waiting for that meteor to land on me and save me from all of it."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4227&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. President:
 
I would like to speak briefly and simply about a serious national condition.  It is a national feeling of fear and frustration that could result in national suicide and the end of everything that we Americans hold dear.  It is a condition that comes from the lack of effective leadership in either the Legislative Branch or the Executive Branch of our Government.
 
That leadership is so lacking that serious and responsible proposals are being made that national advisory commissions be appointed to provide such critically needed leadership.
 
I speak as briefly as possible because too much harm has already been done with irresponsible words of bitterness and selfish political opportunism.  I speak as briefly as possible because the issue is too great to be obscured by eloquence.  I speak simply and briefly in the hope that my words will be taken to heart.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4207&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Onan… spilled his seed on the earth, lest that he should give seed to his brother.”

Ballot access is a major goal of the Libertarian Party, so much so that we seem to be more concerned with keeping or gaining ballot access for whatever election is next rather than with any Libertarian actually winning in whatever election is before us today. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_access) Ballot access seems to have become that tail that wags the dog in third-party politics. Yes, it is important to have our candidates on ballots, but doing that should not come at the cost of using our resources, time and efforts to actually get Libertarians elected to higher offices than city councils, county commissioners and Justices of the Peace.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4198&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

This simple thirty-five word Oath of Office is specified by The Constitution of The United States as the one, single oath which much be taken by every person who will serve this nation as our President. After this oath is taken every four years, however, no one seems to ever pay much attention to it, but it is important enough that it is the ONLY oath spelled out word for word in The Constitution. There are also only two specific obligations it places on a President; to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States” and to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” to the best of their ability.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4192&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With its January 21, 2010 decision in the case of CITIZENS UNITED v. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION (http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-205.pdf), The Supreme Court of The United States issued a ruling as wrong as any it has made since the infamous “Dred Scott decision” and more activist than any judicial legislation that those on the far-right have ever cried out about. Overturning over 120 years of precedence and legislation, the five conservative justices alone have given body and breath to the “corporate person” which was created, not by legislation but rather by another decision of The Supreme Court, Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific Railroad (1886).<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4187&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Texas. I really do. It is the land of my birth and, no matter how many times I leave it, it’s the land I always return to. Unfortunately, Texas politics often embarrass me. I am not alone in this. There is an old saying here that goes: “Lock up your house and barn; watch your wife and children. The Texas Legislature is in session and nothing is safe.” There are too many things in Texas politics about which to be embarrassed (if not to laugh out loud about in their ridiculousness), too many to list, or even count. Our state constitution, itself, is probably the main one; a document so badly written that the only thing which keeps it from being the single worst one in The United States is the fact that Alabama’s state constitution might actually be the worst one on the entire planet. It is easily the worst one in The United States (http://blavier.newsvine.com/_news/2009/04/06/2646073-we-must-amend-the-constitution-now-), but having the 50th worst constitution out of 51 contenders is nothing to be proud of. A close second to the embarrassment which is the Texas Constitution is arguably our propensity to re-elect incumbents to pretty much any office that they run for.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4177&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know of very few people in America today who would disagree with the statement that America is heading for a mountain cliff heedless of the dangers which will await us once we plunge over it. While people of differing ideologies might not agree about the various factors which are pushing us farther and farther into danger, I think that one thing that can be agreed upon by all factions is that our national budgets / spending are out of control and is one of the contributing factors. There are two basic topics which I want to discuss with this article. One is about some factors which I think compound the problems and combine to make our nation fiscally unsustainable. The other is a call to action and sacrifice by my own generation.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4169&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did a LOT of driving this last week-end, a LOT. This gave me a great deal of time to think and process recent experiences. One conclusion that I did arrive at is that if a group of people gather together for a common cause (other than masturbation) and then spend their day in a mutual masturbation circle jerk, they will have accomplished nothing.

[I want to make sure that people who read this article understand that the title intentionally invokes Jonathon Swift's absurdist and extreme satirical masterpiece, A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modest_Proposal). My propsal and "solution" is not intended to be taken as serious any more than was Jonathon Swift's proposal of a "solution" for the "Irish Problem" of Irish poverty and famine with the idea of the Irish using their own children as a food crop to be sold and / or eaten. This is satire, it is absurdist and it is intended to be so extreme as to be understood to be ridiculous. The point of this article rests in the last paragraphs, the rest is simply intended to shock.]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4137&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was 20 years old and preparing to vote in my first Presidential election, a man came to speak on the campus of Texas A&#38;M University about his new party and his campaign for the Presidency. That man was Ed Clark, the first Libertarian candidate on the ballots of all 50 states. He spoke of a vision of government which combined fiscal responsibility with social humanism. Ed Clark made such an impact on my personal view of politics that now, 30 years later, I still call myself an Ed Clark Libertarian. Unfortunately, since then I have watched the Libertarian Party move to the far-right with no coherent message to the point where, instead of creating a viable third party in American politics, it has become seen a ‘lunatic fringe’ of the extreme far-right, religious conservative wing of the Republican Party, a neo-Republican Party, if you will. After 30 years, it has still never made a serious impact on American politics at either the national or even the state level. The fault is our own but, I personally believe that could be realistically changed… starting with the 2010 elections.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4139&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Election Day 2009 has come and gone. Relatively speaking, this election was as insignificant as any off-year election is, as opposed to a mid-term election, but it still could have been an important year for the Libertarian Party, if we had simply bothered to show up. There were six elections / ballot initiatives which could have possibly been affected by the Libertarian Party… if we actually had a long-term strategic plan. As it is, some things happened for which it is notable that the LP had no role in. In no particular order, let’s look at where we could have had real impacts this year.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4135&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many archetypes for the father figure. The most disturbing one is probably the domineering task master whose “love” comes at a cost that can never be paid. That cost is absolute deference, obedience, compliance and respect and, to him, deference, obedience and compliance are the proof of proper respect. He finds humor in ‘jokes’ which categorize and belittle others because they support his own view of his natural superiority over “lesser” (i.e. – different) people. This archetype believes that his children also begin their life owing him a debt that can never be paid back, life itself. As such, his children are his property, chattel that he has paid for. He sees himself as all-knowing, all-powerful and always right. He is focused on rules and control. He will not tolerate backtalk or even being questioned. He not only wants to instill fear in his children, he wants them to fear that, even if they somehow do something that he sees as wrong without his knowing about it, they will still face retribution and punishment for eternity from a vengeful God; the same God who gives the father-figure his authority by giving him children. This father-figure believes that his right to have power over others is given to him directly by God; that his power and authority cannot be questioned or limited by anyone, and that few in the world are his equals. His God has also given him the ultimate power, the power to banish to the wilderness those who violate his given order. What he gives, he can (and will) take.

This archetype is what the Republican Party has become.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4125&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[America’s first Vice President, John Adams, described the office as “the most insignificant office that ever the Invention of Man contrived or his Imagination conceived”.  When Daniel Webster was offered the nomination of Vice President, he said “I do not intend to be buried until I am dead”.  Perhaps the most succinct assessment of the office was given by Texan John Nance Garner, a former and powerful Speaker of The House of Representatives and Vice President under FDR for two full terms, who claimed that the office wasn’t “worth a bucket of piss”.  In many ways, the office of Vice President of The United States can be seen as the most singular indication of the noble goals and yet practical failure of The United States Constitution, and its fate was sealed before the 19th Century even began.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=3951&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would like to start this by pointing out that when I refer to "Israel" in this piece. I am not referring directly to the people of Israel. I am referring to their government which acts in their name. Just like the American government spreads war around the world with the tax money they coerce out of me, Israel spreads war, death, poverty, inhumanity, and famine within throwing distance of it's own inhabitants.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4083&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On July 4th we celebrate "Independence Day" in the US. This is the day that American's celebrate the end of British oppression and unjust taxes on the American colonies. At the time Britain was the strongest Empire in the world. There are many nations who have Independence days which celebrate the day they ripped themselves from the clutches of British colonial rule. I believe the lesson from that day is that all Empires fall. Even if they seem strong and invincible, the people in their conquered territory will eventually find the means to push the invader out of their land. America is an example, India is an example, Barbados is an example, and Sri Lanka is an example. Though people have to give their occupier 'HELL' they will eventually gain their freedom from them. The best example of this is the Pashtuuns in Afghanistan/Pakistan. There has never been a power who's been able to subdue these people and hold on the their land for any long period of time.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4079&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Fantasies about invulnerability, and about the persecutory intent of external enemies and collective rationalizations of group actions could be understood as a system to help allay the unconscious anxieties of the group-as-a-whole.

A phenomenological approach to what Janis describes as groupthink indicates that a group overwhelmed by internal conflict may gain a great deal of relief if it can locate or create [emphasis added] a strong external enemy (Coser, 1986).  Internal dissension can be seen as trivial in contrast, thereby enabling the displacement of within-group tensions into the relations among groups (Smith, 1982b). In this regard, such internal properties of the group as illusions of unanimity and invulnerability, which may be views as pathological from one perspective, may in fact serve a valuable social function by providing a particular cognitive set to enable a group to “create” an enemy.”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4056&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often find myself in discussions with people. People who insist that the state is their best friend. People who believe that waging mass murder on the rest of the world is keeping us safe. People who believe that being a serviceman/woman does still serve the good of the world. People who believe that our support for the state is necessary for our well being and that of the world at large. Some people cannot be broken out of this infinitely flawed view. Some of these are the same people who can't see that capitalism is not the culprit of the current economic crisis or that the same issues that caused alcohol prohibition to fail will be the same causes that make the "War on Drugs" fail.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lastfreevoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=574519&amp;post=4069&amp;subd=lastfreevoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
