Gas Prices Will Skyrocket Under Obama's Socialism



"High gas prices? It's the money supply, stupid!"

Well, Ron Paul did not and would not call anyone "stupid," like Bill Clinton and elitist Democrats are prone to do. But on the Glenn Beck Show the libertarian congressman showed he understands economics and he knows what to do about the high price of gasoline.

Let's put it into street language. If you sell your bushel of apples in a neighborhood where all the residents combined only have $100, you'll never get much more than $1 each for your apples. But if you sell your apples in a populous neighborhood where each resident has millions of dollars, it's hard to guess how much people will bid for your apples. You might sell some at $100 each, or more.

Ron Paul made it clear on the Glenn Beck Show that gasoline prices are high not only due to the demand for oil and refining capacity outweighing supply. He reminded us a perhaps more important factor is the ever increasing money supply, which also means the ever decreasing value of the dollar.

But that begs the question: why is the money supply out of whack?

One answer is: increased government deficits; or in street language which Bill Clinton could use, stupid politicians.

But then Bill Clinton would only utter such words behind closed doors, wouldn't you say? Because it's his Democratic Party (including Obama) which is religiously dedicated to ever increasing government spending. Democrats utterly worship government with a blind faith that makes Christians look like champions of reason.

High gasoline prices are only a small symptom. America's economy will over-inflate and burst into thin air unless common sense is introduced into the minds of politicians. And the introduction of reason into politics is what Ron Paul is all about.

Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty states among it's principles: For all their talk of “change,” neither major political party as presently constituted challenges the status quo in any serious way. Neither treats the Constitution with anything but contempt. Neither offers any kind of change in monetary policy. Neither wants to make the reductions in government that our crushing debt burden demands.

Maybe you were turned off by Ron Paul's shrill voice arguing against the Iraq war, as if he was strangely blind to Saddam Hussein's aggression and desire to make himself an Islamic reincarnation of Adolph Hitler. Nonetheless, remember it was Democrat bureaucrats who arrived in Baghdad and prevented the U.S. from getting out of Iraq quickly after the armed forces had neutralized the murderous dictator.

In the context of the Democratic Party's sabotage of success in Iraq so their party could ascend to power, maybe Ron Paul's noninterventionalism would somehow have served America better after all.

But far worse than a heroically conceived Iraq rescue effort morphed into a misadventure is the Democratic Party's worship of government, which has now spread like a contagious disease to so many Republicans. And Ron Paul's battle cry is far more heroic than: "Get the United States out of Iraq!" His call to arms almost echoes Thomas Jefferson's cry from the grave: "Get the United States Government out of the United States!" Wouldn't it be amazing if Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty turned out to be the one last hope for lifting America higher?

Speaking of "lifting higher", for the last election year we studied (1998) some of the highest percentage of votes for Libertarian Party candidates were for candidates who had been studying free of charge the lessons of: Course in Political Miracles

“I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me."

Libertarian Mantra Exposes Obama Cruelty

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon a time there was a

Ayn Rand and Jesus Christ: Deep Similarities

Ayn Rand's intellectual genius was great, but far greater still was her willingness to tune in to her spirit, feel her spirit, live by her spirit, and write from her spirit. Her spirit has moved millions. "When I studied Atlas Shrugged I was inspired to change the direction of my life totally. I literally owe my life to Ayn Rand." How many times have we heard a statement such as this? The quality in a fictional work which can change someone's life so dramatically is not the intellectualism of the work, but the spiritual foundation on which the intellectualism is built. Intellectualism without a spiritual base is a painful torture which ultimately leads to terror and death, as Ayn Rand so perfectly illustrated with her fictional characters. But intellectualism which arises out of being in touch with one's spirit is a very different story, as those of us know who have read Atlas Shrugged . Ayn Rand's heroes are fond of saying their antagonists are "mindles

Ron Paul is Wrong; Mitt Romney is Right!

"Ron Paul does not believe we went into Iraq because of 9/11. But Mitt Romney obviously believes we did. So who’s right?" ~Gary Benoit The strained arguments of some libertarians that Dwight Eisenhower is somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack in New York is equivalent to arguing that President James Buchanan was responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre of the Baker-Fancher emigrant party on 9/11 in Utah. It is truth in the sense we are all responsible for everything in our world. This is a very valuable truth, wouldn't you say? The twisted leftist argument is that Islamic Jihadists would not have declared war on Western societies if it hadn't been for Western government policies reaching back through the years. But anyone who studies the Koran knows this argument is bullshit. The Koran demands that war be waged on "infidels" until everyone on earth is either converted to Islam, enslaved by Islamists, or killed. Mitt Romney is right. The United States
