They hunt in packs. They are not stealth. They come growling, snarling, and ready to tear into the prey.
They can run for miles, upon miles. If you can run twenty, they will run twenty-one. If you can go fifty, they will go fifty-one.
Their pursuit is endless. No prey can outlast them. They are the greatest hunters in the world as they are absolutely relentless.
Dog-sled trainers will run dogs for One Hundred Twenty Miles in the morning, and then do it again in the afternoon for an astounding Two Hundred Forty Miles in a day. The dogs are restricted only by the fact that the trainers are exhausted.
They are legendary as hunters because no prey can match their ability to command the field through pure stamina and resilience. If you stop they will pounce. If you continue on exhaustion will eventually set in, but the outcome was determined the moment you were targeted as the prey. They are nameless predators who survive outside the realm of society.
Predators and prey also exist in society, but the predator need not hunt or chase for the prey is the willing victim. Politicians lure the prey with tidbits such as welfare, and they destroy the prey with fallacies such as “terrorism”, “security”, “democracy”, “immunity”, “judicial fiat”, and “compelling interest”.
Politics is a different sphere, but it is no less as vicious an environment as the woods and jungles where the predator feasts on the carcass of the vanquished. In the dark world of politics the predators have names such as Bloomberg, Soros, Schumer, Sweeney, Buono, Feinstein, Brady, Dees, and Obama.
The difference between the two breeds of predators is that the dog’s nature compels it to hunt to survive in the wild, but in the home it is a devoted servant to its master. The political predator seeks to undo the master and make it the servant to its illegitimate acts, and perverse desires.
The K-9 in the wild depends on its cunning, and stamina. The politician depends on its prey’s willingness to be duped, and its shallow character, which always shows to be week, dependent, ignorant, or ambivalent.
The United States formed under the Declaration of Independence, its first legal document. The wording outlined the basis for this original and forward thinking nation as one of the People, by the People, and for the People. As Madison wrote in Federalist 78 “There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. *** To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”
The idea of this Republican form of government was that all power would derive from the hands of the People with whom sovereignty would remain. So the structure of limited powers granted to the federal government were set out in the Constitution to which the individual states swore allegiance.
The states themselves created their own documents that essentially detailed the rights of the People, and the guidelines for checks and balances that would inhibit, and halt the encroachment upon the liberty of the People. The country developed as a nation wherein we recognized that we “are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights” *** “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed” and it is our right and duty to “alter or abolish” that government encroaching on our freedom.
The concept of the People being sovereign seems to be almost impossible for people to understand. Perhaps its been weeded out of our national mindset? Maybe we’ve simply abdicated our duty to maintain our rightful place in the rule of law?
Our entire structure of law is based on basic principles, but we are barraged with nonsense about the legislature having to do this or do that. We want, and should be electing legislators who sit back and say, our rule of law is clear, I cannot vote for such a law as it is not within my authority, and it infringes upon your rights. You have the power to prosecute so you may bring your complaint to the Grand Jury whose duty it is to investigate such matters.
Using these simple principles all the laws that are unnecessarily created would not come into existence or interfere with the execution of justice. More importantly, the People have the proper venue for remedy and relief from which no one is immune.
Pointless laws aimed at the erosion of rights, and the eventual destruction of liberty is prevented when the People enforce their rule and keep the government in check. But as the character of man suggests, we grow ambivalent, lazy, and perhaps even envious of the fact that our neighbor does not conform to our own political agenda.
At the outset this nation was blessed with a group of men who were forward thinking. They established offices under the control of the People designed to thwart the often-unlawful acts of government, The Grand Jury, The Jury, and the Militia are bulwarks against encroachment upon our freedom.
Each of those offices was steeped in a history dating back to the Magna Charta. There was no question about their duty, and what actions they needed to take. In our system of law, where sovereignty remains with the People, the Jury can nullify the law, and the Militia is the only constitutional body “being necessary to the security of a free State”. There are no other law enforcement agencies spoken of in either the state or federal Constitutions at the outset. It is our foundation that defines the rule of law, not interpretations, or the constant barrage of laws that are legislated into existence.
Today the courts have restricted, and ...

The following is a comprehensive list of all representatives that voted against an audit of the "Privately Owned" Federal Reserve Bank.
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/materials/HR1207-Shame-List.pdf
We feel that every representative should have stood in favor of this important legislation for several reasons.
The primary, and most basic reason being that in the 97 years of its operation the Federal Reserve has NEVER been audited. EVER!
Do you think perhaps it is overdue? Especially in light of what has transpired with the economy in the last 24 months?
Can any of these representatives offer a valid reason for voting aginst this legislation? I dont think so, and we here at RTR have heard them all.
1. The most ridiculous being that it would disrupt operations and pose a risk to the recovery. What recovery? Most recently: Wells Fargo laying off 2,800, Microsoft laying off 5,800, and the tens of thousands that have lost their jobs?
High unemployment, and a moribund housing market have increased risks to the U.S. economic recovery, while the public debt looms large and needs to be cut.
2. Investors were worried that greater political influence in the Fed's operations, could weaken the central bank's resolve to fight inflation in the future. Please note, the dollar has lost approximately 95% of it's value since the Fed came into being in 1913. I think the Fed, based upon this fact, is losing it's battle against inflation.
The U.S. House of Representatives had approved a bill in December of 2009 that included a provision, championed by Texas Representative Ron Paul, that would have opened the Fed's dealings to audits much the same as agencies of the government. But in a statement on June 15 of this year, House Democrats participating in negotiations over a final financial reform bill signaled a willingness to live with a narrower Senate audit provision that does not cover monetary policy.
The Fed, which has admitted it was too complacent about regulatory oversight in the run-up to the global financial crisis, has come under heavy fire for being too close to the banks it regulates. So, in the end, the U.S. central bank appears to be emerging largely unscathed by the regulatory reform efforts. It successfully fought off a Senate push In May 2010, that would have stripped it of its oversight of smaller banks, and is poised to emerge as the most powerful financial regulator when reforms are complete.
If you agree with us that this legislation should have passed, then exercise your right in the next election cycle and vote out those who failed once again to do the right thing, and uphold their oath to defend, and protect the Constitution of the United States of America.

We haven't posted any Ron Paul Articles or news lately, but this speech is actually classic RP all the way. Another one from "the man who should have been president".
“Could it all be a bad dream, or a nightmare? Is it my imagination, or have we lost our minds? It's surreal; it's just not believable. A grand absurdity; a great deception, a delusion of momentous proportions; based on preposterous notions; and on ideas whose time should never have come; simplicity grossly distorted and complicated; insanity passed off as logic; grandiose schemes built on falsehoods with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff; evil described as virtue; ignorance pawned off as wisdom; destruction and impoverishment in the name of humanitarianism; violence, the tool of change; preventive wars used as the road to peace; tolerance delivered by government guns; reactionary views in the guise of progress; an empire replacing the Republic; slavery sold as liberty; excellence and virtue traded for mediocracy; socialism to save capitalism; a government out of control, unrestrained by the Constitution, the rule of law, or morality; bickering over petty politics as we collapse into chaos; the philosophy that destroys us is not even defined.
We have broken from reality--a psychotic Nation. Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge replacing wisdom. Money does not grow on trees, nor does prosperity come from a government printing press or escalating deficits.
We're now in the midst of unlimited spending of the people's money, exorbitant taxation, deficits of trillions of dollars--spent on a failed welfare/warfare state; an epidemic of cronyism; unlimited supplies of paper money equated with wealth.
A central bank that deliberately destroys the value of the currency in secrecy, without restraint, without nary a whimper. Yet, cheered on by the pseudo-capitalists of Wall Street, the military industrial complex, and Detroit.
We police our world empire with troops on 700 bases and in 130 countries around the world. A dangerous war now spreads throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. Thousands of innocent people being killed, as we become known as the torturers of the 21st century.
We assume that by keeping the already-known torture pictures from the public's eye, we will be remembered only as a generous and good people. If our enemies want to attack us only because we are free and rich, proof of torture would be irrelevant.
The sad part of all this is that we have forgotten what made America great, good, and prosperous. We need to quickly refresh our memories and once again reinvigorate our love, understanding, and confidence in liberty. The status quo cannot be maintained, considering the current conditions. Violence and lost liberty will result without some revolutionary thinking.
We must escape from the madness of crowds now gathering. The good news is the reversal is achievable through peaceful and intellectual means and, fortunately, the number of those who care are growing exponentially.
Of course, it could all be a bad dream, a nightmare, and that I'm seriously mistaken, overreacting, and that my worries are unfounded. I hope so. But just in case, we ought to prepare ourselves for revolutionary changes in the not-too-distant future.” RP
