Phoney Conservatives

It’s time to determine who is for real and who in the political landscape is blowing hot air.

Let’s take a Congressman. He is from a very conservative district.
His constituents are for less government, pro-life and most definitely pro-second amendment.

The Congressman goes to Washington, DC.

He is asked to vote on an abortion bill.

He said he would vote no and votes no on that bill.

The bill passes.

The next bill that he is asked to vote on is gun control.

He said he opposes gun control and votes no on that bill.

It passes.

The congressman in question goes home and tells his constituents that if only we had a few more “conservatives” like him in office we could have stopped those bills from being passed.

What said Congressman neglects to tell his sheep is that both of those bills need to be funded. Both bills become part of the Federal Budget. He votes for the Federal Budget.

That means that he voted to fund what he said he was against, abortion and gun control.

Nice trick.

We have such a Congressman in Tennessee’s Third District.
His name is Zach Wamp.

He is a seven term Congressman. And he keeps the same game, the same lies going every year.

We have a gentlemen running against Wamp whose name is Doug Vandagriff.

Doug is a regular blue collar guy. He holds down two jobs. He is going to look at these bills that are coming up for a vote and ask one question. That question is:

"If this bill is passed will it increase the Size, Cost, extend the Reach or Power of the government?

If the bill does any of those things he will vote no on that bill for those reasons."

The only way Doug Vandagriff will vote for the Federal Budget is if it were lower next year than this year.

Now Doug isn’t raising any money. He isn’t spending any money. He doesn’t have a website but if elected he will adhere to the above promise.

It’s time to get a real American to represent the people of the Third District of Tennessee.

On Election Day.

Vote for Doug Vandagriff.

Thought you ought to know.

PS.

Mr. Wamp makes a big deal of the fact that he attended seven colleges.

He didn’t graduate from any of them.

Mr. Vandagriff has a Masters Degree in History from the University of Tennessee.

Ladner Opposes Government Growth

My interview with the Greeneville Sun.


http://greenevillesun.com/story/296778/1

Why Am I Running For Office?????

I am running for the United States Senate because right now of all the laws passed in Washington DC last year. Only one in 100,000 was passed by Congress if that many.

All the other laws disguised as rules, regulations, codes, guidelines and standards were written by non elected bureaucrats. Writing for agencies attached to the executive branch of government.

To put it to you bluntly.

The Executive branch of government is making 999,000 laws for every one legitimately passed by Congress.

If you don’t believe this. Every time you see a business, businessman or individual being fined or prosecuted for violating an EPA – OSHA – FDA – FCC etc. etc. etc. rule or regulation.

You begin to realize that these rules, regulations, codes, guidelines and standards are made by bureaucrats in the executive branch of government.
Not Congress.

Go to any law school library and ask the librarian to show you the EPA, FCC, OSHA regulations. The volumes will cover an entire wall. With the hundreds and thousands of sections and subsections – sub-sub-sections etc.

All of which are laws. None of which were passed by the Congress!

All of these agencies are part of the executive branch of government.

James Madison’s writings ought to be evident too everybody.

“The accumulation of all power legislative, judicial, executive in the same hands. Whether of one a few or many. Where self appointed heredity or elected.
May justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

(FYI: Tyranny which is the arbitrary use of government power is the opposite of liberty. Just as freedom is the opposite of slavery)

We are every day loosing more and more of our liberty to an ever increasing more and more powerful Federal bureaucracy.

I am running for the United States Senate to put a stop to this.

Just Thought You’d Like To Know

Prior to this election in general. When a debate was over between the candidates in a public forum.

A few people in the audience had the pleasure of asking one or two questions.

All that has changed:

There is a great fear that somebody in the audience will ask

“If this program is put in will it increase the size, cost, reach or power of government?”

This question strikes fear in the hearts of practically all of the candidates whether they are masquerading as democrats or republicans. For these candidates know that the solutions they are offering do increase the Size, Cost, Reach and Power of government.

And they are deathly afraid that the public will discover what they (handpicked democrats and republicans) have been doing for the past 75 years!

Hence – in case you haven’t noticed - NO questions are being taken from the audience! Thus preventing an ordinary person from asking the most vital question ever asked.

“Will this increase the Size, Cost, Reach or Power of government?”

Just thought you’d like to know.

Who Gonna Be The President??????????

To answer the question of whom am I supporting for the President let me make the following clear.

Look up, look up, who gonna be the president????????

Are you looking up????????

Will it be Carter or Reagan?

Will it be Reagan or Mondale?

Will it be Bush or Dukakis??????

Will it be Bush or Clinton????????

Will it be Clinton or Dole?????????

Will it be Bush or Gore???????????

Will it be Bush or Kerry????????????

(I don't even want to think about this one).

While you are looking up START LOOKING DOWN.

The little roaches by your feet are the Collectivists, Communists, Fascists, Nazi's and Socialists that are going into the House of Representatives.

These people are committed to the growth of the government.

The House spends the money.

Get it!

Where do you live?

Who is your Member of the House of Representatives?

If it isn't Ron Paul then that individual needs to be kicked out.

You would make a good (NO GREAT) Congressman.

Tell the people that you will look at these bills.

Study these bills but if they increase the Size, Cost, Reach and Power of the government you will VOTE NO for those reasons.

All the best.

The Big Lie

6/29/08

An answer to the rising price of energy.

The price of gasoline is not going up.

The value of the currency is going down.

In Germany in the 1920’s the German’s were complaining about the price of everything going up. And by the time they realized that prices were not going up. The value of the Mark was going down. It had already reached the point where the value of the currency was falling so rapidly people were getting paid twice a day. The noonday pay had to be spent immediately because it would be near worthless by the time they got their evening pay. Which had to be spent quickly because it would be worthless by the time the noonday pay would come the next day? Which had to be spent etc. etc. etc?

The Jew’s were blamed for this situation and were attacked.

This is what our government is doing. Inflating the currency, causing its value to drop rapidly and simultaneously running a “Hate the Arab’s campaign” as was done in Germany with the Jew’s.

This set the stage for the rise of Hitler.

We can expect opportunistic politicians to point their finger at Arabs, big business, entrepreneurs, speculators etc. etc. And demand government control’s of such entities to rescue the American’s from a situation which our own government’s policies has created.

If you smell a dictatorship coming. You are right!

Planned Parenthood & Non-Governmental Organizations

6/29/08

RE. Planned Parenthood and its activities.

The organization called Planned Parenthood is funded and functions as a department of the United States government designed to increase the size, cost, reach and power of government in areas which Planned Parenthood covers.

Obviously the way to stop Planned Parenthood and all other NGO’s (advocacy groups financed by the United States government for the primary purpose of expanding the size, cost, reach and power of government in areas covered by an alphabet soup slew of organizations) – is to have the House of Representatives cut off the money.

Not only will the activities of Planned Parenthood dry up but the activities advocating gun control, land control, environmental control, foreign aid, etc, etc, etc. All things destructive of the United States and the United States Constitution. Will also vanish from the landscape. Never to be resurrected and rot in the rubbish heap of history.

Another Look At "Heller"

6/30/08

Significance of the “Heller” ruling.

The purpose of the “Heller vs. DC” ruling is this. To establish the supremacy of the Supreme Court on all things Constitutional.

Essentially this ruling makes the words in the Constitution meaningless.

The only thing that counts is what the Supreme Court says it says.

Consider this:

Article One: “All power belongs to the Supreme X”

Article Two:

Article Three:

Article Four:

Article Five:

If you want to know what these articles say you must have the people in article one tell you. Which means what is written is meaningless? Except for the meaning given to it by the Supreme X. Even when the Supreme X is saying the opposite of what is written.

Haven’t you noticed that not a peep has been heard from the ACLU?

This ruling has been called a “Landmark” decision. What is a “Landmark?”

This is a decision that destroys a section of the Constitution.

A “Landmark” is a message to the liberals to shut up.

This decision establishes the authority of the Supreme Court to say what anything in the constitution means independent of and contrary to written word and common understanding.

That is why it’s called a Landmark decision. And in no way is that decision a victory for anybody except the communists, fascists, and socialists pretending to a world wide throne.

Please read the Soviet Constitution. http://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/government/constitution/1918/article1.htm

“All the central and local power belongs to these Soviets”

A “Soviet” is a committee.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_(council)

That committee governs’ a particular section of life. If all power belongs to the Soviet then what ever comes after that means nothing.

Take for example the “Frankfurter Doctrine.”

It basically says that the Constitution of the United States of America is whatever the Supreme Court says it says. Take another look at the Soviet Constitution.

The solution for this and all our problems is to elect ordinary people to the House of Representatives who will VOTE NO on any bill that expands the size, cost, extends the reach or increases the power of the government!

Court Strikes Down Millionaire's Amendment

What we need is to get rid of The Federal Election Commission.
The F.E.C. is designed to make it difficult for an average person to run for office.
Their rules, regulations, guidelines and standards make it IMPOSSIBLE for a individual who is not connected to "The Party" to comply.

If elected I will write the legislation to abolish the Federal Election Commission forthwith.

The Second Amendment

The Purpose Of The Second Amendment

Question

Why was the Second Amendment put into the Constitution?

Answer

So that we could protect ourselves from the government!

Other measures to protect US from the government were:

1) The fedgov could have no army in peacetime.

2) Fedgov could not quarter troops in our houses

3) Fedgov could send troops into a state only with the consent of the state government or during an insurrection.

Question

Without an army how could the federal government defend the country against invasion and war?

Answer

By calling out the militia: Each state had an organized militia under the control of the state government (the officers were trained by the federal government).

Question

What was to prevent the state government from using the militia against its own citizens?

Answer

To regulate that is to control the militia the Founder's said "Arm the entire population"

THAT is the Second Amendment.

In the “Federalist Papers” the founders asserted that the combined militias of the states would be stronger than any force the Federal Government could raise, and by the same reasoning an armed population would be stronger than any militia a State Government could use against its citizens.

The Second Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting, sportsmanship or target shooting:

The claim that it does has been made by people who want to exclude the ordinary citizens.

(Who are not hunters, sportsmen or target shooters) from the debate.

This allows those promoters to agree to a series of compromises which over time will disarm the people and leave US at the mercy of the government.

If you are a gun owner in America.

Comments to "Padgett racks up endorsements"

Is it better to be endorsed or to endorse?????

Submitted by Lenny Ladner on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 01:43.

Is it better to be endorsed by 22 individual politicians who support and profit by an increase in the size, cost, reach and power of the government.
Or is it better to endorse an idea whose time has come. That is stopping the growth of government and rolling it back in the reverse fashion it was expanded.

I will vote NO on any increase in the size, cost, reach or power of the government.

Comments to Mike (who never uses his first name) Padgett

First of all why does "Mike" Padgett refuse to use his real first name??? What is he trying to hide??

I have always used my first name. I'm not going to hide anything.

More of the same

Submitted by Lenny on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:39.

I ask you Mr. Padgett. What is your solution to our problems?

Is it an expansion of the size, cost, reach and power of the government?
Why do you endorse more government Mr. Padgett.

The problem is that we have too much government.
Too much of our production is going to pay for more employees to meddle deeper and deeper into our lives. Too much of our money is going to support an ever increasing police state that is reaching into the lives of honest citizens.

If elected I will vote NO on any bill that expands, the size, cost, reach and power of the government.

I guess Mr. Tuke's steering committee has women who believe that only bigger and bigger and much bigger government can solve our problems.

We need to make a decision. Either we have more government and less liberty or less government and MORE Liberty.

Talk Radio Disinformation

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with a good friend of mine.

This friend of mine was telling me about an interview on a certain late night
(starts after midnight) talk radio program. This program is heard in most major markets and is on clear channel. I can pick it up in my truck almost everywhere. This program is known for its way out stories.

OK. I do believe that the media in these United States is controlled. They feed you the information that they want you to know. They also feed you spectacular and hard to believe stories. Especially on said radio show.

Now if said radio show which is in all markets across these United States was for real the host should be talking about the growth of government and the solution (get rid of these Members of the House of Representatives).

Instead the host of said radio show makes a ton of money by telling you bedtime stories.

Give me a break George.

Signs on the highway.

One of the many advantages of being an over the road trucker is that I get to see the country.

One thing that is quite interesting during this presidential election season is the absence of signs from John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.
Where ever I go the only signs that I see are for Ron Paul. He is the only candidate who believes in less government. Please check out his website http://www.ronpaul2008.com/
and call his legislative hotline (888) 322-1414.

The Great Debate

Well we have a real hot one these days in the Democratic Party.


Will it be Hillary or Obama?????????

What a choice. Haven't you noticed something. Neither one of them really say anything.
Both of them want to give you more government. They wish to increase the size, cost, reach and power of the Federal Government.

The real losers are the citizens of these United States. Both candidates will take away the liberties and freedoms of said citizens.

The other scam is as the media is showing this charade NOTHING IS BEING SAID ABOUT THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES.

After all the House of Representatives spends the money.
The House is where the action is.

Tired of the lies. Think about running. Tell the voters that you will read these bills but if they increase the Size, Cost, Reach or Power of the government you will VOTE NO.

Stop the growth of government and you can restore liberty.

I welcome your comments.
