DARK-AGES Warriors, Anarchists, Traitors, & the Kind of Young Barbara Bush Gave Obama Four More Years

The base of the GOP is THEOCRATIC. Its 2008 VP candidate and its runner-up in the 2012 presidential primary are against Thomas Jefferson’s wall of separation between church and state. So are candidates backed by the Tea Party, like Sharron Angle, who lost to Harry Reid in 2010. The state/government holds a monopoly on legal coercive power, and these theocrats crave to use coercion to impose church-based beliefs.

Two 2012 GOP senatorial candidates personify the horrific irrationality of these DARK-AGES warriors. One claimed that a female’s body can prevent pregnancy in case of rape, and another claimed that rape is the will of his god. Mitt Romney’s opposition to abortion except in cases of rape or incest flouts justice. It is wrong to punish an offspring for the crime of the father.

One’s personal stand on anything is no one’s business. But in the realm of legal coercion, laws should be based only on reality and reason. Being pro-life and pro-choice is not contradictory. The embryo has no brain activity, so it is not yet an actual living human being; hence, it has no rights. An embryo is up to eight weeks. It is not sentient. It does not breathe. The central nervous system is fully formed at nine weeks. The fetus takes its first breath at 10 weeks. At this stage, the unborn is an actual living human being, thus, has rights. It has acquired the right to continue breathing. Prior to this stage, DARK-AGES warriors must be prevented from imposing their monstrous cruelty. Their monstrosity is also evinced in their bigotry towards homosexuals.

By nature, humans are fallible. Even the young have sexual urges. In a pregnancy, nature provides the embryonic stage as the window to change course, such that those who commit mistakes would not suffer for a lifetime, together with the baby they would bear. It is wise for the young, for women, for freedom fighters, to reject DARK-AGES warriors.

Ron Paul and many of his supporters share Barack Obama’s dehumanization of corporations. Their cannibalistic, looter mentality is personified by Occupy Wall Street. Thus, they are averse to a businessman, like Romney.

Some anarchists voted for Gary Johnson, who supports the Sherman Act. Antitrust Laws are akin to the Russian roulette with the government holding the gun to every businessman’s head, or akin to government-mined fields traversed by businessmen. “Free competition must be enforced” is brazenly anti-logic and GOLIATHLY tyrannical. Such voters crave to destroy success, like Romney.

There are anarchists who share the belief of theocrats that love of money is the root of all evil. They say their need of money does not translate to love of money. They do not appreciate what satisfies their need. Having renounced reason, they have no tool to realize that they are advocating for the DARK-AGES. Money is a necessity in a FREE, CIVILIZED society. It is a tool of exchange and a store of value, enabling saving and long-range planning. It is a precondition of a division of labor economy, of specialization. It is the tool of FREE THINKERS, who use only reason and persuasion in dealing with rights respecters. Those who spout, "Money is the root of all evil", or the love of it, are LOOTERS and/or DARK-AGES warriors. Why do churches collect what they consider evil? Some anarchists vilify for-profit businesses. Yet, they drool to occupy them. These voters do not appreciate that only virtue creates wealth, so they see a man of wealth as evil.

Benedict Arnolds, like Chris Christie, do not care about the USA. When Christie put his arm around Barack Obama, he embraced the last four years and the next four.

The young Barbara Bush agrees with Democrats that healthcare is a right. She is glad Obamacare passed. The granddaughter of a previous US president, the daughter of another previous president, does not know that rights are not entitlements to the labors of others, but are ACTIONS that can be exercised without anyone’s permission, limited only by the equal rights of others.

It is not only the lazy or the entitlement class who do not appreciate Romney. Rich people who are for COERCED CHARITY do not, as well, especially those who can be exempt from such coercion because of political connections.

In the GOP primary, Romney defeated DARK-AGES warriors and anarchists. In the general elections, they, together with traitors and the kind of Ms. Bush, gave the socialist four more years.

Jeffersonian Party

"The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches… It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." "The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.” "It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."

 
Mission

   a) Find and support Jeffersonians.
   b) Spread Jeffersonian principles.


Platform

1) Non-contradictory principles based on the following:

       • The Declaration of Independence
       • Equal inherent inalienable rights
       • Reality, logic, reason, and science
 

The principles on which we engaged, of which the charter of our independence is the record, were sanctioned by the laws of our being… Man [is] a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights… A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature…” - Thomas Jefferson

"The most sacred of the duties of a government [is] to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens…. Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.” – Thomas Jefferson

2) Government should not use force against rights respecters.

Rights are actions that can be exercised without anyone’s permission, limited only by the equal rights of others.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." – Thomas Jefferson

3) Respect of the freedom of conscience.

“No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him." – Thomas Jefferson

One's personal stand on anything is no one's business. The Jeffersonian Party fights only those who propose to “commit aggression on the equal rights of another.”

The Jeffersonian Party is pro-life and pro-choice. They are not contradictory. The embryo has no brain activity, so it is not yet an actual living human being; hence, it has no rights. An embryo is up to 8 weeks. The central nervous system [CNS] is fully formed at 9 weeks. The fetus takes its first breath at 10 weeks. At this stage, the unborn is an actual living human being, thus, has rights.


4) Passion for the first principle of association: “the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."

"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits." – Thomas Jefferson

5) Adherence to Republicanism and good government.

Thomas Jefferson’s Republicanism:

1) That there exists a right independent of force;

2) That a RIGHT to PROPERTY is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings;

3) That NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO OBSTRUCT ANOTHER exercising his faculties innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature;

4) That justice is the fundamental law of society;

5) That the majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest, breaks up the foundations of society;

6) That action by the citizens in person, in affairs within their reach and competence, and in all others by representatives chosen immediately and removable by themselves.
  
“A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.” – Thomas Jefferson

"The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society... This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it. All honor to Jefferson -- to the man, who in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and sagacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so embalm it there that to-day and in all coming days it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression." – Abraham Lincoln

I saw this other Jeffersonian Party on the Internet: http://www.jeffersonianparty.com/index.asp

God’s Existence: from “I believe” to “I know”

I believed, but did not know God exists. Now, I am certain. I dreamed of information that I had no knowledge of, and thus, could not have come from my subconscious. Later, when frightful dread permeated my mind and body, a suffering that could crush a soul, as my husband underwent quadruple bypass surgery on October 8, 2012, the information provided Divine Comfort.

On September 27, 2012, I dreamed that my husband dropped me off at a building, but he did not get off the vehicle. I understood that he was going somewhere. He told me, "Just for two and a half hours." I went inside the building, and then turned my back. There were two sets of stairs, one going down and the other going up. They looked like a V, but I couldn't see the bottom. The flight of stairs going up is brightly lit. To the right of the stairs, floating, was my radiant Mother, followed by my smiling Father. [Both have passed away.] After Mom embraced me, I found myself on the other side of the brightly lit stairs, with my niece nicknamed Faith, telling her, “Grandma and Grandpa are with us.”

Upon waking up, I wondered if my parents were coming for me. Later that day, my husband’s cardiologist prescribed heart catheterization to determine if my husband needed a stent. On October 5, as my husband was wheeled into the Cath Lab, I wondered if the entire procedure would take 2 ½ hours. But not for long, the Doctor came out to tell me that my husband needed bypass surgery, later scheduled for the following Monday, October 8. While waiting for him to be taken to his room, a lady who was also waiting told me that her husband has had bypass surgery six years ago. I asked how long the bypass surgery took. She answered, “Two and a half hours.” Over the weekend, a Doctor from the Heart Surgeon’s Team came to my husband’s room. After she finished asking questions, I asked how long the surgery would take. She said that the anesthesia part would take around 1 ½ hours, and the heart surgery would take 2 ½ hours.

I am very grateful to science and technology, to lifesavers, who use their minds to the fullest, spending tremendous effort in perfecting their genius. Many thanks and kudos! God bless always. 

I am reverently thankful to the Divine Comfort that I held on to during the terrifying hours. While I prayed, the dream where my husband said, "Just for 2 ½ hours", was with me, together with the faith that I will have him back, alive and well, after that. Many thanks, all-good and all-loving God, for embracing my husband, our family, and me, especially through the very difficult 2 ½ hours.

Prior to my certainty that God exists, the following is an example of what I have written, which evinced that, like Thomas Paine, my own mind is my own church, that I have held, like Thomas Jefferson, that my own reason is the only oracle given me by heaven, that I revere the most glorious gift from God: reason, and that the Primacy of Existence in Metaphysics has been my basis for my belief in God:

God is so Benevolent that the Laws of Nature are Absolute

Dick Morris MALEVOLENTLY LIES about Jefferson

Morris is a MALEVOLENT LIAR as evinced in this video. Here are proofs that he subhumanly spouts lies:

"The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society... This is a world of compensation; and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it. All honor to Jefferson -- to the man, who in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecaste, and sagacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so embalm it there that to-day and in all coming days it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression." – Abraham Lincoln

See this video: Debating Slavery Clause in the Declaration of Independence: Second Continental Congress.

Logically & morally, one cannot be faulted for something outside of one's choice. Slavery was OBTRUDED on the Colonies by King George III. Thomas Jefferson INHERITED slaves. It was AGAINST THE LAW TO FREE THEM.

When he was 26 years old, chosen for the first time to be a member of a legislature, he submitted a bill for the EMANCIPATION of ALL slaves. As a lawyer in 1770, age 27, Jefferson defended a slave, saying: "Under the law of nature, all men are born free."


Facts - Thomas Jefferson's record on slavery:

1769: Chosen for the first time to be a member of a legislature, Thomas Jefferson made one effort in the House of Burgesses for the permission of the emancipation of slaves, but was rejected.

From Jefferson's autobiography: http://www.constitution.org/tj/jeff01.txt -

"In 1769, I became a member of the legislature by the choice of the county in which I live, and so continued until it was closed by the Revolution. I made one effort in that body for the permission of the emancipation of slaves, which was rejected: and indeed, during the regal government, nothing liberal could expect success."

1770: As a lawyer, Thomas Jefferson defended a slave, saying: "Under the law of nature, all men are born free."

"Under the law of nature, all men are born free; everyone comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature, because necessary for his own sustenance." -- Thomas Jefferson: Legal Argument, 1770. FE 1:376

1776: He strongly condemned slavery in his draft of the Declaration of Independence.

"He (King George III) has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation hither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of INFIDEL powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the LIBERTIES of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the LIVES of another." http://www.princeton.edu/~tjpapers/declaration/declaration.html

 1778: The legislature passed a bill he proposed to ban further importation of slaves into Virginia.

“Congress Again--and France: This first retirement was brief. In a year his wife died. Jefferson reentered Congress, throwing himself into the work of lawmaking, this time for the national government. Within two years he wrote some of the most meaningful state papers of the Continental Congress. Three reports were especially good: 1. On Government for the Western Territory, the basic document for the growth of the United States, in which Jefferson's effort to abolish slavery failed by one vote.”

http://history-world.org/thomas_jefferson.htm

 
1784: His draft of what became the Northwest Ordinance stipulated that "there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude" in any of the new states admitted to the Union from the Northwest Territory.

1806: President Jefferson requested Congress to ban all slave importation to the US.

1807: As President, Jefferson signed a bill abolishing the slave trade: on March 3, 1807, as President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson signed a bill making slave importation illegal in the United States.


Thomas Jefferson defined Republicanism:

“I believe with you that morality, compassion, generosity are innate elements of the human constitution; that there exists a right independent of force; that a right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings; that no one has a right to obstruct another exercising his faculties innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature; that justice is the fundamental law of society; that the majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest, breaks up the foundations of society; that action by the citizens in person, in affairs within their reach and competence, and in all others by representatives chosen immediately and removable by themselves, constitutes the essence of a republic…” - Thomas Jefferson

http://www.britannica.com/presidents/article-9116915

  WITHOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON, THERE IS NO BILL OF RIGHTS.

“A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse or rest on inference.” – Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787

The Declaration of Independence in Towering Steel

I wrote my first political article after listening to Mr. Barack Obama and Mr. John McCain declare dependence and sacrifice at the “Service Nation Presidential Candidates Forum” hosted by Columbia University on September 11, 2008.

The US Presidential Candidates’ Declaration of Dependence and Sacrifice 

The first article was followed by two more on the same subject. 

Part 2: The US Presidential Candidates’ Declaration of Dependence and Sacrifice

Part 3: The US Presidential Candidates’ Declaration of Dependence and Sacrifice

I wrote what I think of the Twin Towers in my second novel, Royal Serf, and in this article: Twin Beau Ideals. 

This is my latest article on sacrifice: Casualties of the Morality of Sacrifice: Jesus, Justice, Rights.   

Casualties of the Morality of Sacrifice: Jesus, Justice, Rights

The morality of sacrifice is of deceivers and tyrants, and its most sublime casualty is Jesus Christ, considered by Thomas Jefferson as the “greatest of all reformers.” Jefferson described the “benevolent” system of Jesus as “the most SUBLIME morality.”

With devious goals, the anti freedom call it sacrifice. The reality is: Jesus advocated against the “notion that a certain group or nation has a monopoly on human value, while the rest of mankind are properly slaves or mere barbarians.” Christ taught that every man is made in the image of God, thus, every individual soul is precious. Jesus advocated INDIVIDUALISM: the respect of individual rights. Consequently, the anti freedom brutalized him. To absolve themselves of their evil, and to pulverize His most sublime teaching, the anti freedom devised a malevolent scheme: tout the brutality perpetrated on Him as Jesus sacrificing Himself. Three goals are achieved with the morality of sacrifice: no justice/judgment to those who brutalized Him, His most sublime teaching is negated, and tyranny can continue to easily claim those devoid of self-esteem, i.e., those who do not think that every individual soul is precious.

My God is just, so I reject original sin, the doctrine that guilts people out in order to crush their self-esteem. My God is just, so I reject that Jesus sacrificed for me. Glorifying sacrifice is ungodly because self-sacrifice is masochism and sanctioning it is sadism.

Jesus also taught, "Love your neighbors as you love yourself." Sacrificing oneself is not loving oneself. So, self-sacrifice is not of Jesus. Sacrificing others is not loving your neighbors - this is not of Jesus. It is very clear that sacrifice is not a teaching of Jesus.

The MOST SUBLIME MORALITY
http://ilynross.blogspot.com/2011/04/most-sublime-morality.html

Sacrifice is giving up a higher value over a lesser one or over a non-value.

The virtue involved in caring for loved ones and doing the right thing is integrity: you love, so you care; you think it is right, so you do it. Since I love my kids more than I love myself, since I value them above all else, going without something or working hard for them is not sacrifice.

When Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty, or give me death," he was not sacrificing himself. He was saying that he valued his liberty over his own life.

New Jersey Declaration of Independence Signer, Abraham Clark, was dragooned to renounce his signature. His two sons, Aaron and Thomas, officers in George Washington's army, were captured and TORTURED. The British said they would release them if Mr. Clark renounced the Declaration and his signature. He refused. Since he and his sons valued liberty above all else, it was not sacrifice.

Selfish greed for my integrity
When I fight for Liberty!

Obama to Bankers: I’m Standing ‘Between You and the Pitchforks’

"I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.... An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.... Power is not alluring to pure minds and is not with them the primary principle of contest." - Thomas Jefferson

George Washington Found it Abhorrent to be King

George Washington led the brave Continental Army
Through eight years of war, privations aplenty.
He inspired a ragtag army, a fragile nation
Amid the threats of failure and disintegration.

At the war's end in 1783, he took affront
When asked to be king, to wear a crown.
George Washington replied, “Abhorrent!”
Power-lust is for little fiends.
A moral man does not rule
Nor can he be ruled by men.

Obama’s Silver Spoon Demagoguery is Rich-Racism

"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the FIRST PRINCIPLE of ASSOCIATION -- the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." - Thomas Jefferson

http://www.ilynross.blogspot.com/2012/04/principles-of-jefferson-are-definitions.html

Here is an article on President Obama’s silver spoon pronouncements, and Governor Romney’s response: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/romney-rejects-obamas-silver-spoon-comment/

Logically and thus, morally, one cannot be faulted for something outside of one’s choice, like the color of one’s skin or the wealth of one’s parents. Yet, President Obama touts a precept as despicable as original sin and racism: that the earned wealth of a parent dirties the soul of offsprings.

Vilifying Governor Romney for the wealth of his rags-to-riches Father is akin

To hating one because of the circumstances of birth like the color of one’s skin.

His Actions Have Defined Mitt Romney

“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

- Thomas Jefferson.

Action has delineated and defined Mitt Romney. Having dual degrees in law and in business, and having a Father who wielded legal coercive power, Romney chose to enter Private Equity, where only reason and persuasion can be used. This evinces that Romney is not a power-luster, and that he is challenged by wealth creation employing skills, innovation, and uncoerced trade.

He financed a start-up, Staples, which now employs around a hundred thousand. Other financiers scoffed at the idea of Staples, but Romney identified with the virtue of saving on paperclips. He financed Bright Horizons, which evinces his concern for the innocents and for parents who want to work.

‎"In 1998, after 38 years of ownership, Domino’s Pizza founder Tom Monaghan announced his retirement and sold 93 percent of the company to Bain Capital for about $1 billion. At the time, Domino’s had 1000 stores, and employed about 16,000 people." Today, Domino’s has 45,000 employees.

Romney performed the business of capitalism for 25 years. After which, he served his country in other ways. At the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, he inherited a $370 million deficit. He left behind a $100 million surplus, contributing $1 million of his own money, & drawing no salary for 3 years. As governor with an 85% Democratic legislature, drawing $1 annual salary for 4 years, Romney cut taxes 19 times, turning a $3B deficit into a $2B surplus.

Thomas Jefferson on gossips: "I should have fancied myself half guilty had I condescended to put pen to paper in refutation of their falsehoods, or drawn them respect by any notice from myself." - ‎THOMAS JEFFERSON: A DEFENSE OF HIS CHARACTER -- http://www.liberty1.org/defense.htm

"A fact that went largely unreported was that the DNA test DID RULE OUT Thomas Jefferson as the father of Thomas Woodson, the eldest of Hemings' sons..."

"While Jefferson did not free all of his slaves on his death (as did Washington), a law passed in Virginia in 1806 required that the legislature pass a special bill that would attest to the exemplary behavior of each slave to be freed. If freed, THE SLAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE STATE WITHOUT HIS OR HER FAMILY.

Jefferson tried unsuccessfully to get this law changed. Further, Jefferson trained his slaves in skills that would be useful when they were free. He believed that to free them first would be irresponsible -- since they would be homeless and without family."

"The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, [and] we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." - Thomas Jefferson

*
Historians have lied about Jefferson. I compiled these facts when this came to my attention:

The Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia website states: “As historian David Brion Davis noted, if Jefferson had died in 1785, he would be remembered as an antislavery hero, as "one of the first statesmen anywhere to advocate concrete measures for eradicating slavery." After that time, however, there came a "thundering silence." Jefferson made no public statements on American slavery nor did he take any significant public action to change the course of his state or his nation.”

This is a MALEVOLENT LIE.

1784: His draft of what became the Northwest Ordinance stipulated that "there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude" in any of the new states admitted to the Union from the Northwest Territory.

1806: President Jefferson requested Congress to ban all slave importation to the US.

1807: As President, Jefferson signed a bill abolishing the slave trade: on March 3, 1807, as President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson signed a bill making slave importation illegal in the United States.

Thomas Jefferson is the author of the Declaration of Independence, the Father of religious freedom, the advocate of the Bill of Rights, and the President who abolished the slave trade: “the business or process of procuring, transporting, and selling slaves, esp. black Africans to the New World prior to the mid-19th century.” Jefferson successfully abolished primogeniture in Virginia, the rule by which the first born son inherited all the land.

"In matters of principle, stand like a rock.... The principles on which we engaged, of which the charter of our independence is the record, were sanctioned by the laws of our being… Man [is] a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights… A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature…” -- Thomas Jefferson

“I believe with you that morality, compassion, generosity are innate elements of the human constitution; that there exists a right independent of force; that a right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings; that no one has a right to obstruct another exercising his faculties innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature; that justice is the fundamental law of society; that the majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest, breaks up the foundations of society; that action by the citizens in person, in affairs within their reach and competence, and in all others by representatives chosen immediately and removable by themselves, constitutes the essence of a republic…” - Thomas Jefferson

“A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse or rest on inference.” – Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787

While abolishing ALL excise taxes
Including the whiskey tax
In the first year of his first presidency,
While engaging in the Barbary War
Within two months of his first presidency,
And then spending $15 million
In the Louisiana Purchase
To double the then size of the USA,
Jefferson reduced the national debt
From $83 million to $57 million.

Thomas Jefferson said every word in the Constitution
Is subsidiary only to the execution
Of the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence:
First: Equal Inherent Inalienable Rights,
Second: The only proper function of law and of government
Is "to secure these rights."

Jefferson was first elected into public office when he was 26 years old. In early 1809, when he finished his second term as president, he was almost 66. He said, "I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty."

Jefferson served the cause of freedom and his country during his prime and for forty years. After which, he pursued science and natural history through research, experimentation, and invention, he continued in his post as the elected president of the American Philosophical Society until 1815, and he founded the University of Virginia. Jefferson designed all of its campus buildings, set up its curriculum, and selected its faculty. The University is notable in U.S. history for being the first educational institution to offer academic programs in disciplines such as astronomy, botany, and philosophy. Its School of Engineering and Applied Science was the first engineering school in the United States to be part of a comprehensive university. In the University of Virginia, Jefferson implemented his vision that education should be completely separate from religious doctrine.

The University was established in 1819 and Jefferson died in 1826. Jefferson served the causes of freedom, science, and education his entire life. For emphasis, I repeat: Thomas Jefferson reduced the national debt from $83 million to $57 million while abolishing ALL excise taxes including the whiskey tax in the first year of his first presidency, while engaging in the Barbary War two months into his first presidency, and then spending $15 million to double the then size of the USA.

DNC & Santorum Appeal to ENVY, DEPENDENCE, & HUMILITY

The DNC & Santorum mantra that Romney is out of touch with those who are not wealthy appeals to ENVY, DEPENDENCE, & HUMILITY. The DNC & Santorum appeal to voters with NO SELF-ESTEEM.

Humans with self-esteem, whether poor, middle-income, or rich, TAKE PRIDE IN INDEPENDENCE. They revere EQUAL rights. Self-love is the hallmark of a good person.

Santorum Associates Thomas Jefferson with the KKK

In this video, Santorum attributes the WALL of SEPARATION to one he describes as a former member of the KKK.

The man who uttered the WALL of SEPARATION is the author of the Declaration of Independence, the Father of religious freedom, the advocate of the Bill of Rights, the President who abolished the slave trade, and whose principles were described by Abe Lincoln as “the DEFINITIONS and AXIOMS of FREE SOCIETY”: THOMAS JEFFERSON.

Santorum deceives in his attribution, and evinces his evil in associating Jefferson’s WALL with the KKK.

"It is now no child's play to save the principles of Jefferson from total overthrow in this nation. One would state with great confidence that he could convince any sane child that the simpler propositions of Euclid are true, but nevertheless he would fail, utterly, with one who should deny the definitions and axioms. The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society...

All honor to Jefferson -- to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and sagacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that today, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression." – Abraham Lincoln

Since Santorum lies about the WALL attribution, I do not give him the benefit of the doubt on his interpretation of the Wall of Separation. To the honest, I squeeze my mind to try to explain:

1) Private individuals cannot take the law into their own hands unless in an emergency. This makes it clear that what people have delegated to the state/government is the right to use force to repel, defeat, punish, or prevent the initiation of force. Thus, George Washington described the government as FORCE.

Does a private individual have the right to impose on a rights-respecter, e.g. impose religion-based values? No. Since the people cannot delegate a right they do not possess, the state does not have this power either. The WALL separates legal force from all actions and words that do not violate the equal rights of others.

2) The stock of car–maker Ford is traded publicly, yet it is privately owned. Whereas, GM and Chrysler have been taken over by the state. They are state owned.

Tim Tebow tebows in public. Since he is not a wielder of legal coercive power, since the NFL is not a government entity, and since tebowing does not violate anyone's rights: neither the ACLU nor anyone can sue Tebow or the NFL.

The honest do not equivocate between public and government.

3) In freedom, the people are free; whereas, the government/state/force is not free. LEGAL FORCE is chained to its only proper function: secure equal inherent inalienable rights. To freedom respecters, the function of the WALL is crystal: the WALL separates legal force from rights respecters. The WALL divides the free from the chained.

Santorum and his fellow anti wall of separation, e.g. Palin and West, are DARK-AGES warriors.

Christie is a Dunghill-mouthed THUG.

People have a right to question wielders of legal coercive power. To call a constituent, “idiot”, evinces DUNGHILL depravity. Puffing, "Damn, man, I'm governor..." is KINGLY. [video; article]

“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority." - Benjamin Franklin

"... for if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter." – George Washington

"In a republican nation whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force, the art of reasoning becomes of first importance…. Reason and persuasion are the only practicable instruments. To make way for these, free inquiry must be indulged…. Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them.” - Thomas Jefferson

The moral descendants of Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson are for republicanism, for freedom, for the accountability of wielders of legal coercive power. THUG Christie is not. Next time he calls a former Navy Seal an idiot, he should SHED his GOONS, paid for by those he holds as unworthy of respect.

Other actions of Christie:

Action delineates and defines a person. Christie gave a $261 million tax break to a half-built casino in Atlantic City. Why doesn't he give a tax break to everyone? [article]

Christie is active in choosing which corrupt casinos get tax credits, but he is MIA in the Obamacare and 2nd Amendment battles. Fencesitting is ALWAYS evil. [article]

N.J. Transit Worker Fired for Burning Koran Rehired, Compensated for 'Pain and Suffering'. Chris Christie supported his firing. For shame! [article]

Romney will NOT Commit the 2008 Mistake of McCain

The "Romney fails to connect" ploy is purposed to make Mitt Romney commit the 2008 mistake of John McCain: embrace the ANTI separation of church and state.

The ONLY connection a moral person must make is to the Declaration of Independence and its defenders.
  

Freedom Fighters: UNCOMMON Farmers and a Nail-maker

The American Revolutionaries had self-esteem. They were the kind who would not be ruled.

On April 19, 1775, “By the rude bridge that arched the flood, their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, here once the embattled FARMERS stood, and fired the shot heard ‘round the world.”

"In our private pursuits it is a great advantage that every honest employment is deemed honorable. I am myself a nail-maker. On returning home after an absence of ten years, I found my farms so much deranged... My new trade of nail-making is to me in this country what an additional title of nobility or the ensigns of a new order are in Europe." - Thomas Jefferson

In 2012, there are people who, in 1775-76, would have whined that the British had all the riches and might. The same people would have rejected George Washington, faulting him for having been successful and rich.

The Revolutionary FARMERS were not envious whiners. Like the nail-maker, they  were men of mettle. I call on their moral descendants: Let us fight for freedom! 

Theocratic Conservative Party Candidate: Santorum

"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men." - Voltairine de Cleyre

"The people are responsible for the character of their [government]. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them….” - James Garfield

"Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst." - Thomas Paine

The Conservative Party endorses Rick Santorum. He is against the separation of church and state, saying that it is not in the Constitution. [YouTube video]

In 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison: "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences.... I do not like... the omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction against monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury in all matters of fact triable by the laws of the land and not by the law of nations."

Without the man who uttered the words "WALL OF SEPARATION between Church & State", DARK-AGES warriors would be saying, "There are NO RIGHTS mentioned in the Constitution."

Religious Freedom by Thomas Jefferson:

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

"I consider the Government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution of the United States from meddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises.... Civil powers alone have been given to the President of the United States, and no authority to direct the religious exercises of his constituents."

"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone."

"I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others."

The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom.

Thomas Jefferson is the author of the Declaration of Independence, the Father of religious freedom, the advocate of the Bill of Rights, the President who abolished the slave trade, and the unjustly maligned man who fought slavery all his life [facts are here].

Rick Santorum and the Conservative Party are against the wall of separation and its author: Thomas Jefferson, the man extolled by Abraham Lincoln:

"The principles of Jefferson
Are the definitions and axioms of free society…
All honor to Jefferson - to the man,
Who in the concrete pressure of a struggle
For national independence by a single people,
Had the coolness, forecast, and sagacity
To introduce into a merely revolutionary document
An abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times,
And so embalm it there that to-day and in all coming days
It shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block
To the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression.”

Rick Santorum and the Conservative Party are against the wall of separation and the Father of the Constitution:

‎"And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together..... We are teaching the world the great truth that Governments do better without Kings & Nobles than with them. The merit will be doubled by the other lesson that Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Govt." - James Madison

Rick Santorum says that the pursuit of happiness harms America - [YouTube video]. Santorum and the Conservative Party are anti Declaration of Independence, the fundamental political document of the United States of America. Politics, the fourth branch of philosophy, defines the principles of a proper social system. The Declaration's politics rests on ethics or morality, the code of values to guide man’s choices and actions in determining the purpose and the course of his life. Its ethics rests on epistemology, i.e., reason-and-logic, which rests on  metaphysics - the study of existence, nature, metaphysical reality.

“I believe with you that morality, compassion, generosity are innate elements of the human constitution; that there exists a right independent of force; that a right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings; that no one has a right to obstruct another exercising his faculties innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature; that justice is the fundamental law of society; that the majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest, breaks up the foundations of society; that action by the citizens in person, in affairs within their reach and competence, and in all others by representatives chosen immediately and removable by themselves, constitutes the essence of a republic…” - Thomas Jefferson

A Republican is one who values the legacy of the American Revolutionaries: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” To those who value the Founding Principles: Let us repudiate the enemies of Individual Rights: Rick Santorum, the Conservative Party, and their ilk. Let us keep our Republic!

Ayn Rand described the Conservative Party as: “not an American political party, but a religious party – A PHENOMENON FORBIDDEN BY THE CONSTITUTION.” She further said: “the Conservative Party… subordinates reason to faith, and substitutes theocracy for capitalism…”

This powerful party is backed by THEOCRATS.

Pope Benedict XVI’s Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth - 2009) and Pope Paul’s Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples - 1967) - These encyclicals blame the PROFIT motive for all the world’s problems, and call for a worldwide REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH by a world government as the solution. Ayn Rand further said that Pope Paul’s Populorum Progressio declares that capitalism is worse than Marxism and that the only morality is altruism (self-sacrifice).

Sean Hannity of Fox News often says, “I am not a Republican; I am a Conservative.” He and his kind crave to conserve, not the Declaration of Independence, but the Dark Ages. When theocracy warriors speak of capitalism, they mean self-sacrifice.

In 2009, the GOP lost New York’s 23rd Congressional District, held by the Republican Party since the Civil War. Conservatives in the GOP chased out pro-choice, pro-gay-rights State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, chosen by local GOP leaders as their nominee, and then supported the CONSERVATIVE PARTY candidate: Douglas Hoffman. THEOCRACY WARRIORS are mentioned in the following news reports:

“Leading conservative voices — including The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page and The Weekly Standard and the talk show personalities Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck — took on the Republican nominee, Assemblywoman Scozzafava, who supports gay rights and abortion rights and had embraced some Democratic economic policies like the federal stimulus package. They labeled her as too liberal…. Ms. Scozzafava, who was selected as the Republican nominee by the 11 leaders of the county committees... was excoriated by Washington’s CONSERVATIVE ESTABLISHMENT almost as soon as she was nominated.” - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/nyregion/04district.html

“Owens defeated Hoffman DESPITE a VOTER REGISTRATION EDGE of 45,000 for Republicans and big-name endorsements for Hoffman from former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson and others.” - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/03/bill-owens-leads-doug-hof_n_344776.html

In 2010, Hoffman lost the Republican nomination. “But Hoffman said he will actively campaign as the Conservative Party nominee, keeping his word to all those who believe in conservative principles.” - http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/doug_hoffman_to_concede_ny-23.html

In this article, Ayn Rand's intellectual heir, Dr. Peikoff said, "The early Christians did contribute some good ideas to the world, ideas that proved important to the cause of future freedom. I must, so to speak, give the angels their due. In particular, the idea that man has a value as an individual--that the individual soul is precious--is essentially a Christian legacy to the West..."

He also said: "A specter is haunting America -- the specter of religion.... The outstanding political fact of the 1980s is the rise of the New Right, and its penetration of the Republican party under President Reagan.... What we are seeing is the medievalism of the Puritans all over again, but without their excuse of ignorance. We are seeing it on the part of modern Americans, who live not before the Founding Fathers' heroic experiment in liberty, but after it."

The Republican Party must be saved from theocratic Conservatives. I am not a Conservative, nor a Liberal, nor a Libertarian, nor a Progressive. I am Jefferson's REPUBLICAN!

"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word "Jesus Christ," so that it should read, 'a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;' the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination." - Thomas Jefferson

"But the greatest of all reformers of the depraved religion of his own country, was JESUS OF NAZARETH. Abstracting what is really his from the rubbish in which it is buried, EASILY DISTINGUISED BY ITS LUSTRE from the dross of his biographers, and as separable from that as the DIAMOND from the dunghill, we have the outlines of a system of the MOST SUBLIME MORALITY which has ever fallen from the lips of man. The establishment of the innocent and genuine character of this BENEVOLENT MORALITY, and rescuing it from the imputation of imposture, which has resulted from artificial systems, invented by ultra-Christian sects, is a most desirable object." - Thomas Jefferson to W. Short, Oct. 31, 1819

  

Santorum Spokeswoman Calls the GOP: Conservative PARTY, an Existing THEOCRATIC Party

Conservatives are confident that they have taken over the Republican Party. On the Fox News Channel on February 19, 2012 between 12:00-12:10 noon, Santorum's spokeswoman mentioned Conservative PARTY at least twice, referring to the GOP. The existing Conservative PARTY is not an American political party but a THEOCRATIC party.

In 2009, the GOP lost New York’s 23rd Congressional District, held by the Republican Party since the Civil War. Conservatives in the GOP chased out pro-choice, pro-gay-rights State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, chosen by local GOP leaders as their nominee, and then supported the CONSERVATIVE PARTY candidate: Douglas Hoffman.

THEOCRACY WARRIORS are mentioned in the following news reports:

“Leading conservative voices — including The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page and The Weekly Standard and the talk show personalities Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck — took on the Republican nominee, Assemblywoman Scozzafava, who supports gay rights and abortion rights and had embraced some Democratic economic policies like the federal stimulus package. They labeled her as too liberal….

But the race was perhaps most notable for the fissures it opened in the Republican Party. Ms. Scozzafava, who was selected as the Republican nominee by the 11 leaders of the county committees that comprise this vast district along the Canadian border, was excoriated by Washington’s CONSERVATIVE ESTABLISHMENT almost as soon as she was nominated.” - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/nyregion/04district.html

“Owens defeated Hoffman DESPITE a VOTER REGISTRATION EDGE of 45,000 for Republicans and big-name endorsements for Hoffman from former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson and others.” - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/03/bill-owens-leads-doug-hof_n_344776.html

In 2010, Hoffman lost the Republican nomination. “But Hoffman said he will actively campaign as the Conservative Party nominee, keeping his word to all those who believe in conservative principles.” - http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/doug_hoffman_to_concede_ny-23.html

In 2008, the GOP chose a VP candidate who, like Santorum, attacks Thomas Jefferson's wall of separation.

Republicans: let us defend the WALL of SEPARATION between CHURCH and STATE. Mitt Romney wants to conserve the Declaration of Independence, while his opponents crave to conserve the DARK-AGES.
