I will run for office, and I will take down the IRS.

If You Think YOU Had A Bad Day…

This is Chill
Friday, June 13th, 2008This week hasn’t been the best for productivity. Two Indians games, an unbelievable number of interruptions, and really hot weather have made it difficult to get things done. Thankfully, things have cooled down a bit, and now I’m getting back on track.
My new project is coming together nicely, although I have had trouble getting it to look nice in Internet Explorer 6.0. What a terrible browser… why they would invent such a nuisance is a mystery to me. In case you don’t know, browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and the newest Internet Explorer read the code much cleaner and display a much nicer picture. All in all, I would say that I am about half done with my new project, and I’m hoping to have it completed by the end of the month.
I must say that I am unbelievably “chill” today. I’m in shorts and a T-shirt that don’t match, barefoot, listening to Imogen Heap while drinking red tea. I don’t think you can get much more laid back.
I’ve also been gearing up for the Worldwide Brands launch, which will be commencing in the next few weeks. In case you haven’t seen their free e-commerce videos, they are worth watching, even if you don’t plan on signing up for the program. Their stuff is really beneficial. Here’s my super secret affiliate link:
Although I didn’t win the iTouch that was given to the top affiliate the other day, I did come in third behind John Reese and Skip McGrath, which was pretty exciting. It’s good to see your name on the leaderboard, and the fact that I am a top affiliate for several different companies will speak for credibility when I start to teach affiliate marketing inside my new project.
I feel it necessary to briefly mention my excitement over the announcement that Ron Paul made late last night. Every major media outlet said that he was dropping out of the race, but this was not the case. Instead, he announced that he was starting a new organization called the Campaign for Freedom, which already has 25,000 members after only about 12 hours of being announced.
Hopefully, at some point, when my businesses run on their own, when I own my baseball team, and when I’m able to do domestic philanthropy work in the private sector, then this campaign will endorse me in a run for public office.
Ron Paul Rally
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008To my right, a four year-old girl held a sign as big as she was.
Behind me, an old woman sat with her daughter and her grandson, who was in his late teens. Collectively, all three generations stood and cheered in agreement.
To my left, a long-haired man in his mid-twenties, who was probably high, was captivated by the idea that he too has the right to freedom.
In front of me, a middle-aged man who was disenchanted with the way that conservatives have strayed shook his head when reminded of the propaganda that has misled the public.
With me, five college students feared that freedom would continue to diminish as government power continued to increase.
At the front of the room, Ron Paul spoke out against the evils of the Federal Reserve, the unnecessary increase in government spending, and the idea that it has become okay to go to war unjustly, as he had been doing since the late 1990s.
Together, we cheered for freedom, because freedom is the only means by which a society can correct itself. It is only through freedom that we can overcome the obstacles that the Fascist and Socialist government has given to us.
But as we stood in agreement, I couldn’t help but be saddened by the fact that for every one of us, there are ten who are misled… misled to believe that government regulation on the free market will sustain jobs and productivity… misled to believe that we were attacked by people who hate us just because they are bad people… misled to believe that Iraq and 9/11 were connected… misled to believe that the taxpayers should take care of health care and pay for people’s bills… misled to believe that life is a mother’s choice… misled to believe that more dollars in an economy means that we are growing, and misled to believe that the solution to our problems is more government.
It is a shock to me that propaganda is more popular than sound economics. It amazes me that one can come out of nowhere and win elections because of promises for change in the name of socialism. It amazes me that on can be an advocate for attacking countries that pose no threat to our security and be considered for public office. It scares me to think that one can promote artificially inflating wages and taxing the most productive people in society in order to finance a health care system that is doomed to fail.
Yet, I care too much to do nothing. This is way more than just a Ron Paul revolution; it is an awakening and resurrection of freedom. It is a recognition that each individual is free to create and responsible for his or her own actions and that we are entitled to liberty and nothing more.
I understand that this is a losing battle. I understand that the message of freedom will likely be silenced by those who want to take away national sovereignty and create the Amero… I recognize that the American public has become so ignorant and so apathetic to their economic freedoms that we will roll over and take the coming changes.
But I will never stop fighting. I will never roll over and take it. I will not surrender my civil liberties, no matter who the government tells me is a threat, and no matter what attacks are staged to scare me into submission.
I will stand against the national ID card. I will stand against the Patriot Act that would have made Hitler and Stalin envious. I will stand against the North American Union. I will stand against government regulation. I will stand against unconstitutional wars.
And although the battle will likely be won by neocons, fascists, and socialists, I care too much than to do nothing. I am a patriot and will defend my country from its government.
