I believe that if you are a Bobama supporter then you are clearly either un-educated, un-intelligent or un-American.
Un-educated: You have just entered the political arena or only pay attention during the campaign. This represents the majority of Bobama supporters. They don't really know anything about government and how it works so they make decisions based on the biased reporting of the mass media or the junk information that their friends spread around. Prove me wrong!
Un-intelligent: You have been subjected to plenty information but cannot follow the process to its conclusion. This slightly smaller group are the ones that fall for the loose change conspiracy or the theory that the war in Iraq was about oil. They are smart enough to make sense of the obvious and dumb enough to fill in the rest with fantasy. For example; they know that Bush and Cheney had something to do with oil and that Iraq has oil so they figure out that everything else was made up so that they could make more money. They are so proud of that intellect that they refuse to allow you to cloud that theory with actual facts. Prove me wrong!
Un-American: You believe that capitalism is responsible for all of the worlds problems. Most of these morons actually belong in the above paragraphs but there are a few that actually apply. To separate them you simply start by proving that Bobama is actually a socialist. Then you show them the whole truth about all of the socialist countries who depend so much on our capitalism. By now, those who belong in the first category Will have fallen out. Now you show them how far the world has come since the dawn of the free market (200 years ago) compared to the 10,000 year lack of real progress under socialist and totalitarian governments. If that doesn't budge them and they think BoBama is still right then they are absolutely un-American. Prove me wrong!

Where do we go from here?
I, like many others, have been aggressively trying to make a point by defining my stance in hopes to attract others of the same ilk. The purpose is not to have an Internet discussion on the finer points of being a Conservative but to create a starting line. I think that it is important for you (the reader) to know exactly where I stand and what I'm about before you jump on board. After all, I've created Freedom Front not as an outlet to find followers but as a tool to help amass an army of right thinking individuals who will march along side of me in my quest to prevent the "evil good-doers" from paving our paradise with good intentions. In short, too many of our brothers have paid the ultimate price for our freedom and I'm not about to allow these socialist bastards to screw it up now!
All of that being said, what's the next step?... I don't know. Peering through the foggy lens of history I've seen some things that we can start with but I need help. You must spread this blog to everyone you know, even if they think they're liberal. I realize how hard it is to get people to read about politics (if words were naked chicks it would be much easier) but this is why I am going to start putting more provocative topics into my blog. People read more when they are more emotionally attached. Once we get more people to read we can get more ideas. That is the first step as laid out by Thomas Jefferson. He knew that a single teacher could only tell a story but it took many stories to learn the lesson. We must debate, argue, agree and disagree to truly get our country back.
I am continually educating myself as a way to help sway the misinformed. Remember that (according to Hitler) "education leads to capitalism" and that "miseducation leads to socialism", it's in our hands now to change the path. I have noticed that when you present political questions in a non-political form you often get conservative answers from even the most liberal people. We (along with most animals) are naturally conservative by design. This is why liberals hate guns unless they are being attacked and a cop comes along to save them. It is also why they believe that the earth belongs to no one unless you are trespassing on their land.
This forum is a safe place for us to have spirited debates with the ignorant as well as real idea sharing with each other. I am still reading all of the published works from our forefathers (prior to the revolutionary war) and compiling a "plan" as it were to present for debate. Until then, keep reading and keep spreading the word.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, sincerely: Jimmy Strawn

Here we go again
" I have a plan that will put America back to work, stabilize the economy, and increase the money supply." If these words sound familiar there is good reason, after all, you have had them drilled into your head for what feels like an eternity. It was the sudden downturn of the economy during the run up to the election that spelled out the certain doom of the current party of power and delivered the control of both houses and the presidency into the hands of the "progressive socialist extremists" in the Democratic party. But then, the unpopular war and the promise of criminal charges against the president and his cronies for war profiteering along with the "anti-rich" sentiment only worked to seal the deal for the new party of power. It's amazing that people have forgotten that our country had just enjoyed eight of the most prosperous years that it had ever seen. It is equally amazing that people are so willing to "change", even if it means adopting the very same political system that we have so recently fought so hard to defeat.
OK, now the fun stuff. The above paragraph may appear to be a summation of today's political landscape but appearances are often deceiving. As a matter of fact, I was very careful to write this as if today were March 3rd, 1933, the day before the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The opening quote is from him and not from Bobama (although he has repeated it in some form or another countless times). The beginning of the campaign that landed F.D.R. in office was plagued with calls of war profiteering against virtually everyone in the previous (Hoover) administration. The Republicans were thought if as war mongers and blamed for Americas involvement in WWI which was considered an "illegal war" by the majority of Americans who, at the time, were generally isolationists. When Hoover entered office the republicans had a 17 seat majority in the senate and a 100 seat majority in the house. There were more jobs then people and the economy was booming in every sector.Then came his final mid-term election in 1930 (two years before the election of F.D.R.). The 72nd congress would still belong to the Republicans but only by 1 seat in the senate and 6 seats in the house. This overturn was mostly attributed to the threat of a second world war due to the aggressions of Germany, Italy and Japan. It was the Democratic platform that America should stay out of it and that Republicans were "chomping at the bit" to engage in yet another war. This strategy was wildly successful and with the economy doing so well it seemed like a win/win decision to vote for the Democrats. Is all of this ringing a bell?
You see, Herb Hoover was a true conservative who deeply believed that "the sole function of government is to bring about a condition of affairs favorable to the beneficial development of private enterprise" and that "prosperity cannot be restored by raids on the public treasury". So while the groundswell permeated through the Democrats in congress to restrain the previously unbridled speculative market he insisted that it would correct itself as it had so many times before. It was his stance that " the constitution did not permit direct federal relief to individuals" and that private entities were responsible for serving humanity, not the government. The congressional Democrats, along with the print media, were very good at picking ideas out of other styles of government and glorifying them as a more fair way of conducting affairs. They used the Nazi idea of labor unions that made Hitler so popular with the working class (which put the rights of the employees above the rights of the employers) and the Marxist theory of redistribution of wealth (which favored those who made no effort to earn money and popularised laziness) to gain political leverage over the republicans.
This new Americanized socialism (as defined by the Democrats that actually called themselves Progressive socialists) was popular because the majority of Americans were resent full of those who had found fortune. The writing was on the wall. The Democrats had unwittingly set in motion the events that would cause the greatest crash in American history. Speculators were already beginning to rebuild themselves in late 1929 after the backlash of "black Thursday" on October 24th (the great stock market crash) which represented the natural correction that Hoover had predicted. Believe it or not, unemployment was beginning to fall in 1930 and it looked like things were going better. Enter the presidential campaign, The print media convinced people that the market crash could have been avoided if the government had intervened and that the Democrats had a plan to fix it for ever. They, along with Hollywood and the American communist party, proclaimed that the new Progressives would represent "hope and inspiration" and they ran on a campaign of "change".
It was this "new deal" that turned a natural market correction into a long, drawn out and devastating depression. It frightens me to look at the incredible similarities between then and now, hopefully it frightens you as well.
