CNN removes pro Ron Paul comments

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

– Preamble of the United States Constitution, September 17, 1787

 

Two hundred and twenty years ago, our founding fathers designed a document that outlined a federal republic that would protect the freedoms and lives of all those who lived under it, from then to now. Our founding fathers, of course, weren’t stupid: they designed it in such a way that would prevent anyone from corrupting or undermining it’s purpose, and forever protect the American people.

The Constitution is, in essence, the closest thing next to perfection you’re going to get. Our founding fathers foresaw almost everything that could go wrong; they didn’t see the Federal Reserve coming, they didn’t see coming the vote fraud and disenfranchising of the American people in 2000 and 2004 coming, and they didn’t see a President who put his own schemes first ahead of the American people.

Never before has the United States come this close to throwing the Constitution away as we have now. We, the People of the United States, are soon going to be without Justice, Tranquility, and Welfare. Thanks to the acts of our President and his private business cohorts, Liberty is dying or even dead.

Who the American people vote for next is going to decide if this nation continues being ran under the Constitution, or if we’re going to become the next Communist Russia where the government watches your every move and controls your every action and takes away everything dear to you.

I believe Ron Paul is the man to vote for: his consistent fight against big government, against big companies, and against any action that puts our nation in danger proves he is the man for the job. Not once has he ever waivered from what he believes in. Not once has he ever put his goals ahead of the goals of the nation.

I am not normally a political person, mainly because I know politicians lie, cheat, steal, and destroy. Politicians get into politics to line their own pockets instead of further our nation. By that description, Ron Paul is no politician: he is a statesman who would have felt right at home with our founding fathers.

Needlessly to say, I’m voting for him.

Hitler’s Ultimate Downfall

Normally, I wouldn’t write a blog entry about this, and just shove it in my Elsewhere links sidebar, but I think my recent open letter to Steve Jobs may or may not have effectively got Apple to release a high end laptop meeting my specifications; either that, or I just accurately predicted what Apple was going to release.

I asked for, among other things, 1920×1200 LED-backlit screens, Santa Rosa, a large 4200 or 5400 rpm drive (although, it was meant to be paired with some flash cache technology), 4 gigabytes of memory, and a DX10 capable 3D chip…

The new Macbook Pros that just came out today with those features, and the 17″ models have the 1920×1200 screens optional. Whats missing is Leopard, a flash cache to go with the drive, and the memory itself isn’t 800mhz but 667 (not that big of an issue, the amount is more important than the speed).

Configured to meet my specifications, a 17″ Macbook Pro is about $3,700. Due to recent events (which I will blog about, but it does contain a Mac), I will probably wait until MBPs ship with flash caches and Leopord (800mhz is probably going to be in the next refresh as Apple runs out of 667 stock).

Oh, and Steve Jobs? Thanks, I think.
