President Ron Paul? Ron Paul and the John Birch Society

This guy couldn’t reason his way out of a wet paper bag. And his subhead quote, intended of course to frighten principled anti-war people away from Dr. Paul, is dead-on;

“Welcome to Dr. Ron Paul’s (R.-Tx) prescription for America. If he ever becomes President, you won’t recognize the place.”

“A China On Your Desktop” – RepRap

@ Google – Hope this means we won’t have to censor ourselves too, LOL;

“RepRap is a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap can print those parts, RepRap is a self-replicating machine – one that anyone can build given time and materials. It also means that – if you’ve got a RepRap – you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend…

RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.

Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. Our community portal and New Development pages have more information on how to get involved. Use the links below and on the left to explore the site contents. You’ll find some content translated into other languages.

RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. It is described in the video on the right.”

Inside Job: A Look at the Heart of the Left

“…(“Inside Job”) demonstrates all you need to know about the worldview of the American left, and it is completely barren of sound theory. They weave tales of demons all around, even as they lack the intellectual apparatus to understand events rationally. It really is pathetic. This film is a gigantic missed opportunity. They started to tell a good story and instead ended up chasing around ideological conventions and coming up empty handed.”

Ron Paul, The Compassionate Libertarian

“…libertarians have the reputation of being hardhearted. It’s not true, and Ron Paul–in so many ways–shows that. He is the Compassionate Libertarian.” – Lew Rockwell

Do Psychopaths Misrule Our World? | Truthout

Just because we tend to be ruled by psychopaths, there is no salvation in somehow, if it were possible, hiring more sane, moral men into government. As Lord Acton famously said, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. This is simple logic. The only ECONOMIC rule, the only MORAL rule, the only PEACEFUL rule, the only SANE rule is SELF-RULE.
