Madness of a Lost Society

Notice To Tom Stilson: Remove Your References and I Will Remove BBCW Forever

Tom Stilson wants this blog removed from the Internet. Earlier this week, before Tom Stilson began his crusade, this blog was deleted to be removed forever. Then my friend Eric Farris noticed the comments Stilson began making describing them as libelous.

Stilson is online demanding that I remove my blog. Well, I have some conditions for Tom Stilson.

1. Remove all content he has written in the past week making the silly case that Mike Moon and myself support gay rights, gay marriage, and any other article that mentions our names and never publish another word of your lies about myself, Mike Moon, and others that are nothing more than accusations.

2. Drop any accusations and charges you have made against Bob Estep, Matt Canovi, Jonica Hope, and Eric Wilbur.

3. Delete all twitter references to me, which you obviously have lied about me trying to make the claim I am a violent person without knowing any facts. Those closest to me will tell you I am a gentle caring person and yet you have the arrogance to speak for your own.

Mr. Stilson it has become apparent to me in the past few weeks, these FEC complaints have not done well for the advancement of your career in politics. I know people have put pressure in central committee people about your actions.

It's quite clear to me, while you accuse me of being employed by the Mike Moon campaign, you have to factual evidence to back that up. Nor is their factual evidence to back that up. If you did, then shouldn't I have received an FEC complaint as well? Of course.

You knew that would open up a can of worms as I would not have hesitated to post the letter on this forum. So the others got them in their efforts to get your opponent elected. What you didn't expect is the others to admit they got the letters they were under investigation, nor did you expect it to become information available to the public. I am sure you thought you would send your warning shot out as a warning to Mike Moon to stay out of the race in 2014.

If Mike Moon broke Federal Election Commission laws, then file. You are right, the laws should be respected and followed. I just don't understand why you had to file against a grassroots movement that you might one day need to call on for their support.

Tom, if you are so concerned about following the laws, then I would recommend you respect laws too. In posting details of my DD214, you have broken federal privacy laws. I never gave the details that you have given and published online about my DD214. Until I do, they are protected by federal privacy laws.

Tom I understand you are upset because you moved away for college, probably under a baseball and scholastic scholarship, which you suggests makes you understand the plight of the common American in 2012. The truth is you filed your candidacy at your parent's address and last I knew you still reside with them. Asking the question is a 25 year old who still lives at home with mom and dad ready to handle the sins of Washington, a $3.8 trillion budget, and a $16 trillion runaway deficit is something all news outlets should have asked of you. It's not an unreasonable question. Yet, look at the anger it created in you. Look at the obsession it created in you. Look what it is doing to you today. Do you really think digging up people's private lives is going to advance your political career?

Do you think this is going to make it easier on you if you choose to run again? More and more people are discovering who you are through the discussions, and Mike Moon's supporters are very loyal knowing Mike Moon is an honorable man.

I will remove my blog and Twitter forever providing you meet the conditions above.

It is sad that you and the Republicans in Christian County didn't work to unify the party.

Students Boycott Homecoming Dance Because Dry Humping on the Dance Floor is Banned

Students at a high school in East Lyme, Connecticut, are boycotting their homecoming dance. They are angry because the principle has decided to move in a Footloose direction to keep the dance from being a sexual exhibition.

Grinding, which is basically dry humping on the dance floor, will not be tolerated at the East Lyme High School. This seems reasonable right?

Well the hormone driven students don't seem to think so. They are boycotting on the account they can't put on this public display of affection at their high school.

Of course the students are calling their dance an "art" and "self expression". If I can't pray in school as a form of "self expression" then why should we have to tolerate grinding? Perhaps grinding is another example of how far we have fallen since they removed prayer from school.

Is This Silly Battle of Tom Stilson's Good for Growing Conservatism?

After the 2012 Congressional campaign, several Southwest Missouri voters involved in a grassroots campaign to elect Mike Moon to Congress in the Republican primary received letters from the Federal Election Commission noting they were under the federal government's investigation. To date, Tom Stilson, who sent the letters to the FEC, admits to filing against just one person, but a Facebook discussion led to others admitting they received letters noting they were being investigated from the FEC after Stilson filed complains. Discussions with others also noted they too received letters they were being investigated by the Federal Election Commission.

It turns out, rather than campaigning, it appears Stilson was having these people followed, photographed, and even tracking their Web activity as the campaign went on. Perhaps, if Stilson campaigned  rather than run his on Richard Nixonesque investigations against Southwest Missouri voters, he might not have finished in the basement.

One older gentlemen involved who was putting up signs says Stilson pulled up one day and started cussing him out for parking his trailer on a corner in Ozark, despite having permission to do so. Stilson posted pictures he took on his social media during the campaign which he followed people pulling around his opponent's signs with their pick up trucks.

Here's some of the proof, which Stilson included in his complaints against these average citizens, who were doing nothing more than participating in democracy. As well, you can also see that Stilson has a problem with people handing out a pocket Constitution.

Of course a recent article on the Stilson blog shows how little Stilson cares about the Fourth and Fifth Amendment as he promotes police checkpoints.

Exhibit

Two questions need to be asked here.

1. While we are $16 trillion in debt, why does Tom Stilson demand the FEC to waste more tax dollars investigating average Southwest Missouri citizens who were doing nothing more than participating in the democratic process?

2. Why does Tom Stilson write we need to work on growing the conservative movement while feeling the need to attack a grassroots movement with the same goal?

Tom Stilson's not going to answer these questions. Rather, he is going to try to dig up as much dirt about his political enemies in hopes to get them to go away.

A far better answer to all this is to sit down with them, find some common ground, work out the differences, and then work together to build the conservative movement. Now a request has been made by myself and Mike Moon to do this, and as of right now, I don't know if there has been a response from Tom Stilson to have a formal meeting.

Tom Stilson turning his blog into the National Enquirer of Ozark isn't going to help grown the conservative movement, nor is turning traditional conservative Republican voters into the Federal Election Commission going to help his cause of growing the conservative movement.

So Tom, if you are really serious about growing the conservative movement, Mike Moon has sent you the invite to sit down with us for a conversation about how to best go about this so we get better candidates in office. If that is truly your goal here, they what do you have to lose?

This game isn't helping get the enemies who are hijacking our country and ruining our future out of office, and I am sure they sit on the sidelines cheering as these attacks take place.

The American National Anthem was a Drinking Song?

The melody of the American National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, was actually inspired by a drinking song. If you could get through the song, you proved your sober enough for another round.

Two and Half Men Star Calls Show Filth

Ever watched Two and Half Men with kids in the room? It's not the best of ideas as you get that uneasy feeling in your stomach as the innuendo and blatant sexual references.

Well the stoned half man of the show has labeled the show filth.

Angus T. Jones who is the kid star in the show just entered a Charlie Sheen sized controversy in his latest interview.

What did he do?

Speaking to religious media outlets, the 19-year-old Jones has called the CBS comedy “filth” and “very inappropriate” and talked about how his religious awakening has affected his attitude toward life and work.

I am impressed.

Of course, hoping to avoid a Charlie Sheen exodus, he did apologize.

“I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed,” said Jones, who reportedly makes $350,000 an episode. “I never intended that.”

Living Life

Life is a funny thing. You just never really know what it is going to deliver. I love life. I love living life.

We learn from experiences. They make us stronger. Everyone of us have skeletons. I try hard to look at the political actions of people involved in politics and how they are often inconsistent with their stated beliefs. Over the past year, I have been totally disgusted by what I have seen from local caucuses, to the infantile tirades of political candidates and their supporters over such trivial matters of an opponent's political sign, to the total disrespect of the Constitution by both parties.

I am an observer from the outside looking in, and people share their stories with me. Sometimes I write about what they observed and sometimes I don't. There is so much people share with me that I sit on.

I also write this knowing my past isn't perfect either. I don't claim perfection, but rather I am a work in progress working to understand the past in hopes of securing a future for family, friends, and other generations of Americans by looking to the founding documents. It's interesting. Politics is ugly. It always has been going back to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. These men were not perfect either. They had their skeletons.

Earlier this year I asked the question is a 25 year old kid who still lives at home with his parents mature enough and experienced enough to go to Washington and battle the temptations to effectively get control of the runaway spending and the debt that is set to destroy us all. In doing so, I opened up a can of worms as a path of revenge was set for myself and others who were questioned the leadership abilities of one while putting our faith in another.

My friend Mike Moon is being unfairly attacked as I am too.

Of course regular readers of this blog know that both Moon and myself support traditional marriage and I have expressed my concerns over the Constitutionality of the federal war on drugs while noting Obama's Fast and Furious was an attempt to rob Americans of their Second Amendment right. Yet, this Web site feels the need to claim both Moon and myself are radical libertarians who support gay rights, gay marriage, and want to legalize every drug under the sun. These are simply not true statements and are documented throughout these pages.

In the coming days, I have been warned my dirt is going to be exposed. This person is upset that I obviously exposed the fact that after he lost in the Republican primary, he began writing letters to the Federal Election Commission after months of following average voters engaged in a grassroots campaign to get Mike Moon elected with accusations they broke federal campaign laws. I remind you these are average voters who were simply involved in the democratic process.

With that said, he plans on exposing my military record, my bankruptcy, and my arrest.

You know what, life is one of those things that happens that you learn from and you work to make yourself better. Most of the time you can look back and laugh at it.

I inherited a massive amount of bad debt through a union that I had no part of creating. This debt destroyed my household and caused lots of friction as we struggled to figure out how to pay off an ex-husband's bad business debts for his trucking company. The only choice we had was bankruptcy. The bankruptcy papers show my own personal debt was minimal compared to the other debt. Of course, you aren't going to hear this.

This took a toll on us. It destroyed us. It led to arguments. Unfortunately, the argument led to the police arriving one evening. There was no blood or bruises. There was just frustration. Both of us were willing to talk to the police, but when my 60 pound Labrador Retriever went running for the door, the officer who met me at the door mistook my actions to grab my dog to keep it off the officer as an act of aggression as I went to reach her collar. I can laugh at this today and may even try to write a Marley and Me type of book one day to share my experiences with my beautiful dog. These things happen. We hear these stories all the time between cops and dogs. I am not ashamed.

Yet, this person thinks he knows me enough to print this story as a form of revenge on his blog. He is going as far as posting my military records, well some of them. Of course these stories were already told on Nick Reed's morning show on KSGF nearly two years ago. The sad thing is this kid still lives at home with mom and dad and probably has never thought about wearing the uniform and giving the ultimate sacrifice to his country like I have. 

I loved the army. I served proudly. I was awarded to Army Achievement Medals for heroic actions.

After my time with the army was done, I decided the Navy's electronics program would be a good way to grow. When I got to the navy, I was disappointed in the lack of brotherhood and esprit d' corp that I experienced in the Army. It was a miserable experience that reached a head when two sailors stole my car from the base, nearly destroying it. They ran from the car leaving certain navy items stenciled with their names in the car. The navy police decided not to press charges against the sailors. I felt betrayed.

I decided I wanted out of the navy after this. I consulted with family and friends to decide the best way to do this. One friend told me to smoke pot. I told her that wasn't my style. I wrote a letter to my NCIOC. They followed procedures and I was off to the hospital, which I had no clue was going to happen simply by writing a letter saying this was a bad decision and I wanted out, to ensure I wasn't going to hurt myself. I was released that night since I wasn't a threat to myself and the out processing began. Mild depression--big whoop!

However, someone thinks they have dirt. If this is dirt, then let him have fun with it. He is only destroying his future career in politics by lowering himself to a Richard Nixon level of having his political enemies investigating and trying to manipulate them with whatever he finds. It's really sad to watch, because the kid probably did have a real chance to get to Congress in a few years.

The Student Loan Bubble Prepares to Pop

Americans are over $1 trillion in student loan debt. These loans, used by politicians to manipulate the "college vote" do nothing more than enslave Americans with overwhelming amounts of debt in exchange for a piece of paper that says they can go to work now. (See Claire McCaskill's attack ads against Todd Akin.) College graduates have become professional debtors and it's getting harder for them to pay back their loans as the job market has no room for more college graduates. (Trade schools are a better solution.)

In the third quarter of 2012, student loan debt rose another $42 billion in just federal loans. This doesn't include other educational loans. There is another number that is rising too. More and more former students are getting behind on their student loans.

So what is this trillion dollars in student loan debt mean to the economy?

It means we are heading towards another crisis. The student loan bubble is bursting, which means banks are going to be scrambling, lobbying politicians for a bailout as hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt doesn't get repaid to the banks.

College really has become an empty promise. Save your money, work hard, and go to trade school.

Tim Geithner Nominated to Save American From the Fiscal Cliff

Just a couple weeks ago, Tim Geithner said America should remove the debt ceiling because it gets in the way. Of course the constant raising of the debt ceiling has shown a lack of discipline from Congress to get America's financial house in order delivering us to a $16 trillion debt.

So who does Obama put in place to save us from the financial cliff after working with the Federal Reserve to enslave Americans with another $6 trillion in debt? That's right, Timothy Geithner...

Fox News reports:


The White House is asking Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to be its lead negotiator in deficit-reduction talks with Congress, giving him about a month to help cut a deal before $500 billion in tax increases and spending cuts begin in January. 

The assignment will likely be among Geithner’s last before his long-planned departure from the administration.

Tom Stilson's Flock Presents No Facts: Attacks a Person's Christianity

Tom Stilson and his flock have shown how low they will go to advance this boy who still lives at home with mom and dad into Southwest Missouri's political world. When Billy Long looks like a man of great character as Stilson continues to show his immaturity in his rhetoric, Southwest Missouri best stick with Long if this kid challenges Billy again in 2014.

On Twitter, Stilson constantly posts that he presents the facts while accusing everyone else of lying about him. Tom just can't face the fact that it got out that he still lived at home with mommy and daddy while making the case he was mature enough to handle a $3.8 trillion federal budget. This is a legitimate question of a political candidate.

Stilson's immaturity must have gotten him kicked off the airwaves at KWTO. Stilson instantly blamed Billy Long and Mavis Busiek after he got let go.

Robert Stilson writes after he admits to admiring Democrats, something you won't ever hear said on this forum, that Billy Long and Mavis Busiek began slandering Tom Stilson in order to destroy him, yet they produce no proof of this. Trust me, I am no fan of Billy Long.

Busiek and Billy were so fearful of Tom’s pragmatic, energetic and logical approach that even after Billy won the primary Busiek manufactured all sorts of rumors and innuendos regarding Tom’s character. Her efforts extended directly into Tom’s employment. Later, Busiek and Billy actually scratched their political claws into Tom’s effort to create a radio show that would ‘carry a clear, concise Conservative message’. These behaviors are symptomatic of the paranoid delivery system that describes Republican leadership here and across this nation.


It appears that it is Tom Stilson who is the one who is quite fearful--fearful that a group called the Refounding Fathers, a group of Tea Party members dedicated to the Constitution, continue to point out Tom Stilson isn't a friend to conservatism and the Constitution. They have recruited the father of Major Leaguer Lucas Harrell to write a National Enquirer piece on Stilson's blog personally attacking my Christianity without providing proof.

Now it is well documented on this blog that I believe in traditional marriage. I have written about my belief that God intended marriage to between a man and a woman and how government is using the gay marriage issue to divide Americans and create a new revenue source. Yet, the lack of brain power over at the Stilson blog shows they are incapable of doing any research. They just put out attack pieces without much thought Stilson's blog now attacks my Christian values.

Brad Harrell, using a picture of me that was also used in a bogus Facebook account obviously created by the Stilson campaign and his minions (no these people aren't smart as they give themselves away and they definitely have exhibited a lack of maturity going to that length) asks the question am I and libertarians in Southwest Missouri Christian Conservatives?

When it comes to faith, I am reminded of the verse, judge not but yet be judged. Obviously, Harrell and Stilson aren't capable enough to do much research to see that I am a strong proponent of traditional marriage. They go as far as attacking me for questioning the direction of the Republican party. Harrell once again shows how little research he has done because I question the Republican party when they don't act like conservative like when Glenn Beck discovered this year a group of Log Cabin Republicans were going to start shaping the GOP platform with an attempt to get the GOP to ease up on the traditional marriage argument.

How about some facts Mr. Stilson from your flock?

Harrell writes, "’ Bungalow Bill’, claims to be a conservative, yet he too strongly sides with Ron on social and cultural issues. Plus, Bowler loves to attack Republicans every chance he gets."

This is coming from a blog that attacks Republicans like Mavis Busiek and the Republican machine every chance it gets. Not only that, Stilson's own blog just a couple weeks ago read, "I admire Democrats. I have to."

You aren't going to hear that from this blog when I question the direction of the Republican party.

You know what, there are plenty of social issues I do agree with Ron Paul on like abortion. I don't believe in it, unlike the Republican nominee for president this past year, Mitt Romney. I also believe in the 10th Amendment and that states should be solving these social issues through their states rights. In another piece on Stilson's blog, which is spending lots of time attacking me, he says Mike Moon and I believe in legalizing drugs.

That's simply not the case. Not speaking for Mike Moon here, the Constitution gives the federal government no policing power for a war on drugs. This is a states rights issue. It should be up to each state how to handle drugs.

Tom Stilon demands the facts. He says I have misrepresented him as a 25 year old kid who still lives at home with mom and dad. That is a fact. However, claiming that I am a gay rights advocate when this blog has clearly taken a stand on the issue that doesn't represent the garbage Stilson's blog is spewing (I have given you links and invite you to do further research) is just silly.

Do you research Tom. You look like an amateur.

Word is getting out about your need for power and your immaturity, and trust me those voters who you filed Federal Election Commission complaints aren't going to be as nice as I have been to you Mr. Stilson once the Federal Election Commission send them their letters their cases have been dropped. I can't wait to watch their wrath, as I hear its building.

Tom Stilson Blames Billy Long for Getting Him Fired at KWTO

A few weeks ago, Tom Stilson attacked this blog after a discussion broke out in the Refounding Fathers Society that Tom Stilson was let go at KWTO. A member of the Refounding Fathers Society said Stilson blamed the end of his brief radio career on Billy Long. Stilson issued a tweet saying we should check our facts before printing it.

Well, it is interesting that on Stilson's own blog his father writes that it wasn't just Billy Long who was involved in getting Stilson fired, it was also Mavis Busiek, the head of Friends of Roy Blunt.

Robert Stilson writes:

Busiek and Billy were so fearful of Tom’s pragmatic, energetic and logical approach that even after Billy won the primary Busiek manufactured all sorts of rumors and innuendos regarding Tom’s character. Her efforts extended directly into Tom’s employment. Later, Busiek and Billy actually scratched their political claws into Tom’s effort to create a radio show that would ‘carry a clear, concise Conservative message’. These behaviors are symptomatic of the paranoid delivery system that describes Republican leadership here and across this nation.

About the only thing to question here is Tom's clear, concise conservative message. (Conservative is not a proper noun, but rather it is an adjective.) I say this because after Tom lost his election bid against Congressman Long, he began dishing out Federal Election Commission complaints to average Southwest Missourian voters for simply being engaged in the process. I don't find punishing voters who didn't support your campaign something someone of conservative character would even consider.

Double D Sex Game Was Really a Murder Plot

A woman with double D breasts is being charged with attempted murder. The woman used her breasts in an attempt to smother her partner to death luring him in with what she now calls a "sex game".

The Mirror reports:


Franziska Hansen, 33, is reportedly charged with “attempted murder with a weapon” after her lawyer boyfriend claimed she tried to smother him while pretending it was a sex game.

Nine-stone Franziska, from Germany, denies the allegations, saying it was a sex game and he knew what it was about, according to the Daily Mail.

But boyfriend Tim Schmidt claims she admitted trying to kill him on the phone, saying she smothered him because she “wanted to make your death as pleasurable as possible”.

He told a court in Germany that the couple had been having sex in May this year when Ms Hansen suddenly grabbed his head and pushed it between her breasts with all her force.

He is quoted as saying: “I couldn't breathe any more, I must have turned blue. I couldn't tear myself free and I thought I was going to die.”

Tim Allen Knows the Government is Coming After Our Money

Here's Tim Allen, better known as Tim the Tool Man, giving a warning for Americans. He knows what is in store for Americans.

Republican Lindsey Graham Vows to Raise Taxes

Lindsey Graham has long showed he is incapable of displaying little 'r' republican principles. Once again we see him leaning over to Obama's side, ready to hand O more power. In doing so, he sounds a lot like John Boehner the day after the election. In other words, Republicans have their talking points.

They will compromise on taxes providing Obama and the Democrats reform entitlements.


On Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week,” Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told host George Stephanopoulos that he’d be willing to violate Americans for Tax Reform head Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge if it meant averting the looming fiscal cliff.

“When you’re $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other to avoid becoming Greece,” Graham said. “Republicans should put revenue on the table. … Raising taxes will hurt job creation. So, I agree with Grover. We shouldn’t raise rates, but I think Grover is wrong when it comes to, ‘We can’t cap deductions and buy-down debt.’ What do you do with the money — you buy down debt and cut rates to create jobs. But I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform.”

Translation: Democrats will get their higher taxes through Republican compromise that will lead to little to non in entitlement reforms.

Texas Secession Bumper Stickers Showing Up All Over Lone Star State

The hottest bumper sticker in Texas isn't anything that has to do with fire Tony Romo, considering the Dallas Cowboys' disappointing season. Rather, the most popular bumper sticker in Texas these days is a friendly recreation of the Lone Star State flag with the word "Secede".

New York Times reports with a sneer:

Sales of bumper stickers reading “Secede” — one for $2, or three for $5 — have increased at TexasSecede.com. In East Texas, a Republican official sent out an e-mail newsletter saying it was time for Texas and Vermont to each “go her own way in peace” and sign a free-trade agreement among the states.

I would expect the Department of Homeland Security to add these bumper stickers to a long line of bumper stickers, which include Ron Paul and Gadsden Flag bumper stickers, to a list of bumper stickers which identifies you as a possible domestic terrorist.

Bowflex Vs. Free Weights

There's a lot of talk on the Internet the best workout you get out of a Bowflex is taking it out of the box. Well, I am fresh off of Beachbody's Body Beast workout program, a workout program designed to bulk you  up, so I thought I would put the Bowflex to the test.

Rather than pay the $1600 plus for a new Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE from the Bowflex Web site, I went to Craigslist, where you discover McDonald's Quarter Pounder lifts forced thousands these home gyms out to the garage. I paid $220 for mine, and best of all, it was sitting about two miles from my house.

So, I began putting it to the test using the techniques and workouts I learned from the Beachbody series. You know what, those people who said you can't get a solid workout from a Bowflex were lying. While I would never recommend taking free weights totally out your workout because they are a proven method of building muscle, you need to remember muscles have memory and they become quite efficient over time. This means you have to mix things up. This is where the Bowflex come in.

After 13 weeks of Body Beast, I noticed I wasn't as sore or seeing the results that I saw toward the halfway point. My body was becoming used to the workouts. Adding a Bowflex to your home gym equipment allows you to mix things up and confuse the muscles since there is definitely a different feeling to pulling the resistance rods as compared to free weights.

The key to the Bowflex is slowing down. A rep on the Bowflex should be a bit slower than the free weights. You will get the burn you need in order to see results. If you rush through the reps, you will be disappointed in your results. Remember, in time, when you notice the exercises are not longer producing results, then you go back to your free weights to mix things up again.

Coming Soon! The Eric Farris Radio Show

I am super excited to announce the debut of the Eric Farris Radio Show. The debut is set for December 9th, and Eric has an exciting guest to get what should be the most exciting Constitutional conservative talk radio show to hit the airwaves in quite some time. I am fortunate enough to be a part of this new venture in political talk radio as well.

The show will air every Sunday at KRZK 106.3. It will be a lively show that will welcome discussion from all sides of the political spectrum.

Eric posted the big announcement on Facebook today and is launched his social media effort, which I will be a part of, on Facebook. Eric writes of his show:


Starting on Sunday, December 9th, I will be the host of The Eric Farris Show, a political radio talk show which will air every Sunday afternoon on KRZK News-Talk 106.3 FM in Branson. The show will be available by radio, through the website (the URL will be announced soon) via live stream and by podcasts. KRZK will be changing over from its country music format on December 3rd to 24 hours of news-talk programming and I have the privilege of being the host of the only locally produced political talk show on the new station. 

We will have informative guests and all viewpoints and live calls into the show will be encouraged. God has blessed us with this opportunity and together with the station management and ownership team, we are going to work hard to be the hottest, most demanded and most entertaining and educational radio program we can be! Please "stay tuned" for more announcements as to the upcoming show topics and how you can get involved as an active listener and caller into The Eric Farris Show!


While I don't want to give up too much, I met with Eric with others who are providing input into the show. Eric wasted no time in booking a major guest for his first show. Trust me. I am impressed with the resources already shown in booking this guest.

So it's going to be a fun venture that I am proud to be a part of. In the coming days, we will launch Eric's new Web site at: http://www.ericfarrisshow.com

Keep Gambling to Pay for My College Because I am Entitled and Incapable of Saving my Own Money

There's a Missouri Lottery commercial that has children encouraging adults to gamble away their money. Have you seen this? It's the entitled generation begging adults to fritter away their money on Missouri Powerball, Pick III, Scratchers, and whatever other games of chance Missourians can throw their money at.

The children point out how the Missouri Lottery is making sure they are going to college. Gone are the lessons of working hard and saving for college. Rather the message of the commercial is gamble your money away in some foolish game, which Rush Limbaugh calls a tax on the poor, so we get free college.

While it appears the Missouri Lottery has not posted the commercial on YouTube, there are numerous students on YouTube like Audrey Gibson encouraging Missourians to gamble away their money so she doesn't have to work herself to pay for her college education.



This seems irresponsible having children encourage adults to gamble their money away. As well, it promotes this we are entitled to this so keep gambling to fund our entitlement.

Now the Missouri Lottery is throwing electronics at these students.



Perhaps if some of these kids parents had saved rather than throw their money at Missouri Lottery lottery tickets for the past 20 plus years, then maybe they would be closer to going to college without this entitlement program in place.

Sure, it's not the worst entitlement program ever, but doesn't it seem misguided that children are encouraging adults to gamble away their money?

Shop Small Business Saturday by American Express: Something to Think About

Black Friday is over. If you are like me, you hit the sales, came out with the goods, and shopped until you dropped. I removed it from my bucket list this year. I doubt I do it again.

To extend Black Friday, which in recent years we saw cyber Monday, it appears American Express has come up with Shop Small or Small Business Saturday.



While it's a noble idea, and one I will engage in today as I visit some neighborhood stores today, there is an irony to it. It's very expensive for small business owners to accept American Express, and many small business owners already hurting to make a profit simply cannot afford to take American Express.

You see, when you shop at a small business and use a credit card, not only are you paying an interest fee or annual fee to use that card, the merchant as well must also pay the fee. For the small business owner, this hurts the already tight bottom line. American Express charges higher fees than other credit cards, which of course takes away from important profits small businesses need to survive in these tough times.

If you are going to visit a small business today, don't pull out your American Express. Pay with dollars. You will be helping the small business owner out.

Tera Loves Big Government as Long as It Gives Back to Tera

Tera Sukman recently posted:

We haven't confirmed it yet, but it is possible that Entitlement Roy also may have subsidized Tera's new car a couple years ago with Roy's Cash for Clunkers vote.

The Shelf Life of a Twinkie: Ebay Twinkies

With the great death of Hostess, which slowly bled to death as the Union demanded more and Wall Street played its game, people are buying Twinkies on Ebay from nearly $100 a box. Myself, I'd rather go to Ruths Chris and get a steak, but America is an obese country that loves its junk food. Point proven.

There is a myth that Twinkies have so much preservatives in them that they will last for ages. Not true.

I stumbled upon this bit of useless trivia today.


Myth: Twinkies aren’t baked; the sponge cake instead is made from a chemical reaction that causes a cake-like material to foam up.  It is then colored dark brown at the bottom to give the appearance of being baked.  (Twinkies are in fact baked and their primary ingredients are flour, sugar, and eggs.)

Myth: Twinkies contain a chemical used in embalming fluid which helps account for some of their extreme longevity.  (Twinkies contain no such chemical.)

The truth is the shelf life of your Twinkies you are buying on Ebay is being consumed by a seven day auction period combined with the shipping time combined with the time elapsed since it left the bakery.

In other words, those buying $100 Twinkies on Ebay are going to be disappointed when they learn the 25 day shelf life of a Twinkie has been pretty much spent by the time they receive their auction delights.

Happy Thanksgiving all,
Wishing everyone the best for the Holiday weekend.

Why Black Friday Notebook Computers at Walmart Suck

Walmart has some incredible Black Friday notebook computer deals this year. HP and Compaq laptop computers for as low as $179 for the Compaq Presario and $249.99 for the HP 2000.

Buyer Beware!

There is a reason these computers are marked so low. They are junk.

To meet this price point, they use refurbished parts like hard drives, and chances are that hard drive, which stores all your important information, is going to fail in the first year. The computers are slow with minimal memory and processors that are near the brink of extinction in the computer world.

Here's the real deal if you are looking to save money and not get mauled by greedy Black Friday computers who will kill you in order to get one of these junk notebooks. Call HP notebook support, where a variety of HP laptop computers will be marked down for the holidays. Look at a better machine like the Pavilion DV6. If you negotiate with your technical support rep, whose job it is to sell you--not provide you with support--you can get that rep to thrown in additional discounts and coupons into the mix so you can come out a winner with a quality machine that is going to last.

Townhall's Ken Blackwell Wrong on Ron Paul and Secession

Ken Blackwell of Townhall.com attacks Ron Paul's claim that secession is a right of the states in his latest misguided piece. Blackwell writes:

Congressman Ron Paul has just delivered his valedictory address in the House of Representatives. And he has told TV interviewers that the American Revolution was a wonderful example of secession. He's a much better OB/GYN, I'm sure, than he is a student of America's history. He could be cited for political malpractice.

If the Founding Fathers and the Patriots who fought and won the Revolution were seceding, why is it that none of them ever called it secession? They certainly had the word back then. They invoked the well-known right of revolution. They had read their John Locke and their Montesquieu, to be sure, but they most often listened to sermons advocating independence--especially those of the New England clergy.

I can't believe what I am reading. Anyone who clearly understands the basis of the Declaration of Independence knows it was a declaration of secession from England and King George. It lists the crimes of King George as justification for removing the colonies from British control to form their own sovereign states.

Let's take a first look at the first paragraph of the Declaration.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Does it get any clearer than that?

What Mr. Blackwell misses is the word secede comes from the Latin word secedere. Secedere means to withdraw formally from membership in an organization, association, or alliance.

Jefferson's beautiful prose clearly calls for a formal withdraw from the British empire Mr. Blackwell. While Jefferson never says the word secede in the Declaration, it is clearly his intent given the first paragraph. If the founding fathers, who weren't fans of war (knowing how war in itself was often a tyrannical action), could have done it peacefully, they would have done so. That wasn't an option King George would allow.

The Declaration was obviously the result of the King's tyranny as was the Revolution and both are an important part in the withdraw from the British Empire. While the Revolution was a necessary evil, the Declaration clearly states the founders intention of secession.

Mr. Blackwell clearly doesn't understand the events leading up to the Declaration. While the Declaration doesn't use the word secede, the founders like Jefferson had no issue using the word leading up to its draft. The people of Virginia gathered in convention two months before the Declaration was signed in May of 1776. There, Virginians declared their sovereignty and cut political ties to King George. This convention signifies the state of Virginia seceding from Great Britain and the Virginia Constitution followed. George Mason and James Madison were drafters of the Virginia Constitution, and Thomas Jefferson attempted to draft a Constitution, but his drafts showed up at the convention too late.

 Clearly what the Virginians did was an act of secession, the first. Of course the other 12 would follow. How much more formal do you need to get? They had a convention. Formally agreed to remove the political bonds and with draw, thus drafting their own Constitution ensuring self government--not continued rule of the King.

Timothy Geithner Doesn't Want to be Inconvenienced by a Debt Ceiling

Keep borrowing! Keep borrowing!

Keep borrowing making Timothy Giethner's buddies in the Federal Reserve richer while the American dollar continues its downfall. The Federal Reserve can print more and lend more.

Geithner doesn't wasn't to deal with any types of checks in place either. As Obama and Boehner claim the fiscal cliff is near, Obama's Treasury Secretary says let's put the pedal down and complete the drive off the cliff.

On Bloomberg TV, “Political Capital” host Al Hunt asked Geithner if he believes “we ought to just eliminate the debt ceiling.”

“Oh, absolutely,” Geithner said.

“You do?  Will you propose that?” Hunt asked.

“Well, this is something only Congress can solve,” Geithner said. “Congress put it on itself. We've had 100 years of experience with it, and I think only once--last summer--did people decide to use it to threaten default on the American credit for the first time in history as a tool for political advantage.  And that’s not a tenable strategy.”

Hunt then asked: “Is now the time to eliminate it?”

“It would have been time a long time ago to eliminate it,” Geithner said. “The sooner the better.”

Splitting Texas into Five States Could Benefit the Fight Against Obama

It's time to start thinking outside the box on how to defeat the Obama agenda. One of the ways to shift the balance of the US Senate may be to split Texas up into five different states, and it's legal.

A new scholarly paper explains the history of how Texas was supposed to be broken up into five different states and nothing has ever reversed that.

Texas Republicans have been thinking waaaaay too small. The redistricting battles of 2003-2004 are nothing compared to the powerful political potential posed by Texas's prerogative, confererred by an Act of Congress, to divide itself into five states. A relatively obscure provision of the 1845 Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States provides that [n]ew States, of convenient size, not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas, and having sufficient population, may hereafter by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the federal constitution. This Essay argues, building on our earlier work concerning the constitutionality of the creation of West Virginia, that Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution permits new states to be carved out of existing ones, with the consent of Congress and the states involved. The New States language of the 1845 Joint Resolution, the Texas Tots provision, constitutes the still-operative, legally-valid grant of Congress's consent to Texas's subdivision into five states. All that remains is for Texas to take up Congress's standing offer.

You can definitely see how they could shift power in the US Senate as Texas could go from two Senators to ten Senators.

Rubio Loves Rap: Marco Rubio the 2016 Republican Presidential Nominee

Just like Mitt Romney before him, we are starting to see Marco Rubio is probably the next in line. He has already started the 2016 campaign heading to Iowa for fundraising just a couple weeks after Romney lost to Obama. Now we are getting the human interest stories to help the public get in line behind Rubio.

We now know Marco Rubio's three favorite rap songs. These questions have become the norm of presidential candidates in recent years.



In an interview with GQ Magazine, Rubio said his three top rap songs are "Straight Outta Compton" by N.W.A, "Killuminati" by Tupac and Eminem's "Lose Yourself."

"The only guy that speaks at any sort of depth is, in my mind, Eminem," Rubio told GQ. "He's a guy that does music that talks about the struggles of addiction and before that violence, with growing up in a broken family, not being a good enough father. So, you know that's what I enjoy about it. It's harder to listen to than ever before because I have a bunch of kids and you just can't put it on."

bless the United States! God is our hope now.

Richard Nixon's War on Cancer: Why the Federal Government Shouldn't Get Involved in Healthcare

In 1971, Republican Richard Nixon launched a big government effort to end cancer. While this sounds like a noble idea, it provides another example of why the federal government has no business in healthcare. It also gives us another example of how Republicans often take government way too far as well.

Since 1971, billions of our tax dollars have been used in a form of corporate welfare for the pharmaceutical industry. In the first 25 years of Nixon's war on cancer, $39 billions of dollars were taken from taxpayers so the pharmaceutical business can deliver barbaric medicines that nearly kill the entire body in hopes of killing cancer, and often times it does kill the body.

Cancer rates have not gone down despite the billions of dollars spent by the federal government on the war on cancer. In 1972, an entire year after Nixon began his war on cancer, cancer deaths in the United States equaled 220,000. In 25 years, that number more than doubled to 560,000 deaths a year.

Billions of dollars spent have not provided any real wins in the cancer battle and yet the federal government believes they can offer more of these successes as Obamacare is now less than one year away since it officially begins upon fiscal year 2014 or October 2013.

Cancer is a $200 billion a year industry that creates lots of jobs. It's a huge part of the economy and the medical industry. The economics of cancer is about prolonging life where a five year survival rate is considered a success. Most cancer patients who doctors claimed are healed see a relapse or their bodies are so beaten they don't last much longer. You have to ask yourself, does government and the powers that be have a vested interest in keeping this industry booming. Is it fair to consider the $39 billion spent in the first 25 years of Nixon's war on cancer nothing more than a job stimulus.

What I find ironic about this is cancer is never treated through nutrition in the medical community. Our food is lacking nutrients while chemicals are constantly added whether they are preservatives or oil-based pesticides often leading to more sickness. It seems to me the war on cancer should be fought through nutrition first.

Yet it remains a crime in most Western nations to treat cancer with anything other than surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Eddie Van Halen, the famous guitar player, has made it past the five year mark since he was cured of cancer. He didn't go through traditional medicine for his cure. On the Howard Stern show, Van Halen offered some interesting words. "I cured my cancer in a way that's not exactly legal in this country. I'd tell you, but I don't want to go to jail. When you drink your damn draino it just holds it at bay. It comes back. Cancer is like a cockroach. It just comes back stronger."

Obviously, Van Halen understands the five year survival rates after a bout of chemotherapy aren't impressive for those who actually are given the cancer free assessment. There are plenty of other stories of people leaving the United States for cancer cures. You have to ask yourself, if it can be cured, isn't it bad economics to cure it since millions of people would be out of jobs? Of course it is.

In a thousand years, doctors will look back on Nixon's war on cancer as big government at its most evil. They will see how doctors of today treat cancer with barbaric medicines that kill the body in hopes of killing the cancer, and the cure will probably be as something as simple as nutrition. Don't believe me?

Visit a local farm and notice how fanatics farmers are when it comes to feeding their livestock with proper nutrition. Why?

Because vitamins and minerals are cheaper than a vet.

Wanna bet medical costs rise under Obamacare? Of course they will. Nutrition is the key to living healthy as well as preventing and curing disease. Obamacare doesn't focus on nutrition. It focuses on making sure more people can be treated with modern medicine, which if you ever read the Physicians Desk Reference, you begin to realize that why it may be targeting a disease it is also destroying the delivery organ, often the liver.

There is a truth about government too that should be realized. Federal programs like Social Security weren't made for long-term retirements. People were supposed to retire to help younger workers get jobs during the hard times of the Roosevelt era, and the federal government was counting on these older workers to die four or five years later, thus helping see a short retirement supplemented by a government check.

With the federal government at the helm of our healthcare, you can see how their previous failures will come into play for their broken systems.

Mitt Romney Killed Twinkie: The Great Union Lie

Now I am no fan of Mitt Romney, but seriously? Union bosses are now blaming the death of Twinkie the Kid on Mitt Romney.

Never mind the greedy union took and took from the bakery as much as they could even in bankruptcy to the point the company had no place to go but out of business.Never mind the Obama administration launched a war against the Twinkie and other junk food. The union is blaming failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney.


“What’s happening with Hostess Brands is a microcosm of what’s wrong with America, as Bain-style Wall Street vultures make themselves rich by making America poor,” Richard Trumka said in a public statement. “Crony capitalism and consistently poor management drove Hostess into the ground, but its workers are paying the price.”

Here's what Trumka isn't telling you. Hostess gave the union bosses an opportunity to fix the company offering them 25% ownership in the company.

The offer to the BCTGM ( the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union)  included wage, benefit and work rule concessions but also gave Hostess Brands’ 12 unions a 25 percent ownership stake in the company, representation on its Board of Directors and $100 million in reorganized Hostess Brands’ debt.

If Richard Trumka truly believed crony capitalism killed Hostess, then why isn't he and his union mob buddies taking the reigns of Hostess to save it from the crony capitalists they claimed killed it. Because deep down inside they know the union raided this company until it was broke just like it did with General Motors.

Proof Obama Blackmailed David Petraeus?: Women Involved in the Petraeus Sex Scandal Visited White House

The news in Libya should cripple Obama's presidency. If Republicans had balls, they would already have brought Obama up on impeachment for his unconstitutional actions that helped armed Al Qaeda backed rebels in the overthrow of Qaddafi, which soon led to the bombing of a US embassy.



As many have said before me, the David Petraeus sex scandal seems all too convenient for Barack Obama. It takes the focus off the bombing since Americans love their sex scandals over the news that really matters. Obama knows this.

It turns out the women involved in the Patraeus sex scandal has visited the White House. Imagine that?

Jill Kelley, the Tampa, Fla., socialite who initiated the investigation that revealed the affair, and her twin sister had two ‘‘courtesy’’ meals at the White House mess as guests of a midlevel White House aide in September and October, the White House official said. Kelley and her family also received a White House tour on the weekend before the Nov. 6 election.

Paula Broadwell too had visited multiple times leading up to the scandal.

In the Army, soldiers are taught, and I am sure Petraeus is no exception, how sex can be used to compromise yourself and the information you possess. It appears Petraeus may have let his own weaknesses break his training on this matter, as it is very likely the White House is blackmailing Patraeus to keep Obama's on dereliction of duty off the front pages.

Lincoln the Great Executor, not the Great Emancipator: History Could Repeat Itself

So when the broken promises come from the inability to fund government entitlements like Obamacare, or your Social Security check and Medicare promises aren't delivered, how will the federal government react to the protests from the entitled generation?

We know the current president of the United States now has the ability to indefinitely detain Americans and order their deaths. If you don't believe it can't happen, well, it already has as the Sioux Indians met their fate upon their protest of broken federal promises.

Abraham Lincoln took the law into his own hands after an illegal military tribunal, ordering the deaths of 38 Sioux Indians, thus making Abraham Lincoln the great executor and not the great emancipator.

A Twinkie Bailout: Nationalize Hostess a White House Petition Reads

Can you imagine a world without Twinkies, Ding Dong's, and HoHo's? It may be a sign the Mayans were right about the end of the world coming in about a month's time. As I type this it does look like Twinkie the Kid has met his match, that is unless a new petition at the White House Web site inspires President Zero to push a Twinkie Bailout.

The petition calls for the nationalization of Hostess snack cakes.

"We the undersigned, hereby request Barack Obama to immediately Nationalize the Twinkie industry and prevent our nation from losing her sweet creamy center," a petition on the White House "We the People" website requests.

This is more proof these idiot liberals don't know their president. After four years of the Obama administration attacking the junk food industry, one would guess other than the union aspect, which drove Hostess into the ground, Obama would be celebrating Hostess's demise. After all, the only good junk food in America is the junk food the Obama's eat on their vacations on camera adding inches to Michelle Obama's ass. Other than that, junk food freedom and equality isn't something the Obama administration promotes.

Did KWTO Shoot the Conservative Animal?

The talk on Facebook is that KWTO canceled the Conservative Animal radio show. The show featured the failed Congressional candidate from Southwest Missouri who still lives at home with his parents.

It gets better, a Facebook discussion on the host, Tom Stilson, led to this comment.

Billy Long? Or what about a lack of interest and few listeners as KWTO's Arbitron ratings remain in the toilet? Billy Long isn't the nicest of men, but he knows all he has to do now is put his name on the ballot and he will be reelected. Why would he be concerned about a child living at home with mom and dad throwing fits on the radio? I doubt Billy Long had anything to do with Stilson losing the gig at KWTO despite Stilson allegedly pointing fingers at Congressman Long.

The Conservative Animal obviously doesn't understand simple free market principles. Advertisers want to spend money on shows that actually attract listeners and bring in customers. This probably had a whole lot less to do with Billy Long and more to do with the fact that Morning Line host as KWTO has become a revolving door of talkers who don't know how to draw in listeners to bring in ad revenue, and Stilson doesn't appear to be the exception.

Really, if it wasn't for Rush Limbaugh, who also has problems bringing in advertisers as well on KWTO--see Spatula City and the Barnacle Brothers 60 Second Sale--would this station even matter anymore?

Look, if Tom Stilson wanted to be successful in radio and if he had the talent to do conservative talk radio, he would have attempted to go where there was listeners. You know, KSGF, where Nick Reed rules the morning airwaves as KSGF pulls in some respectable Arbitron numbers. But this kid burns bridges everywhere he treads, and KSGF isn't an exception.

It is interesting the Conservative Animal may not be teaching a conservative lesson in this chapter as the show goes off the air as I am hearing he is playing the victim and blaming everyone else for his most recent failure.

Au Revoir Tom Stilson from the Ozark's Airwaves... There's always Blogtalk.

Republican Scott DesJarlais Not So Family Values

The Republican party likes to call itself the party of family values. With each passing year it's easier to see many of its members don't subscribe to the rhetoric they sell on the campaign trail.

Meet Tennessee republican and Congressman Scott DesJarlais:

This strange looking little man makes Bill Clinton look like a family values champion.

Dr. DesJarlais has been caught cheating on his wife long before he took office. It gets better.


Cheated with his coworkers
Cheated with his own  patients.
Wrote false prescriptions for one of his mistresses to get drugs, and…
Pressured his own wife to get an abortion – twice – while campaigning as a supposedly family values-friendly candidate.

Pressured his own wife to get an abortion? Now I have long believed that many of these Republicans and pro-life groups are totally pro-abortion using the pro-life crowd for votes. This may be the perfect example. Who pressures their wife to get an abortion while running as a family-values candidate?

Apparently, Dr. DesJarlais didn't want little junior to take time away from his extracurricular activities in his operatories.  Take your son or daughter to work day would have been an inconvenience.

By the way, it is rumored the hot but sickly liberal Ashley Judd plans on running against this fraud.

Bill Clinton Considered Joining the Republican Party?

Here's some strange news coming from the 2012 presidential campaign. Bill Clinton told Mitt Romney he considered joining the Republican party, and based what Bubba told Mitt for Brains, Mitt better keep a close eye on his wife when she is in the room with former president Clinton.

Mitt Romney says Clinton called him after the election.

“I spoke with President Clinton the day before yesterday. He called and spent 30 minutes chatting with me. He said, ‘A week out, I thought you were going to win.’ And he said, ‘But the hurricane happened, and it gave the president a chance to be presidential, and to look bipartisan. And you know, he got a little more momentum.’ And of course he also said that when he was watching Ann speak at the Republican convention, he decided he was tempted to join the Republican Party. So he may have just been effusive with generous comments as he chatted. He was very complimentary, by the way, of how well we did with middle-class voters, and he said they were surprised by how strong we were in Ohio and in other states with middle-class voters, they did exceptionally well with minorities, but white, middle-class voters, we really cleaned up with and that caught them by surprise.”

A Vote of No Confidence in John Boehner

John Boehner is such a failure at Speaker of the House, a nomination was made to replace him with a man who retired from the House many years ago.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) nominated former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) to replace current Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Wednesday.

While I am no fan of Newt, we are once again reminded of the lack of testicular fortitude in the Republican ranks. Just a little over a week after Boehner promised to work with Obama and raise taxes while waving the white flag and declaring Obamacare the law of the land, the other Republicans decided giving this idiot another two years as Speaker was a good idea.

Ron Paul on Secession

You may remember a couple days ago Glenn Beck's Web site made the case secession was illegal. Beck used the Civil War and Supreme Court Justice Scalia to make the point "there is no right to secede". Apprently Beck's people at The Blaze haven't figured out America is a civil society where bullets don't tyrannically produce laws.

America is a republic, which means we are ruled by laws--not bullets--although with the way the Department of Homeland Security is buying bullets that may change. The supreme law of the land is the US Constitution, and believe it or not it doesn't outlaw secession like so many want you to believe. If Beck and Scalia believe the Civil War made secession illegal, then they need to prove it beyond a silly statement.

There were two amendments that were the results of the Civil War. The 13th Amendment was legally ratified and ended involuntary servitude--although the 16th Amendment legalized it for the benefit of the federal government. The 14th Amendment, which was never legally ratified also resulted because of the Civil War. The 14th Amendment gives equal protections under the law. It doesn't condemn secession, which is something northern states tried to do long before the southern states actually did.

It should be no surprise one of the few Republicans who actually understands and lives the Constitution came out to tell people like Beck and Scalia how wrong they are.



Ron Paul looks to the 10th Amendment and states rights on whether a state decides whether to maintain it's status in this union of states. “The founders believed in it, there’s no prohibition in the Constitution against secession,” adding that the union was voluntary and therefore secession was also voluntary under the tenth amendment.


“They want to put them on a list that they’re committing treason, put them in prison or throw them out of the country – what about the First Amendment,” asked Paul in response to calls by some on the left to have pro-secessionists deported.

“The principle of secession is very important, not so much for the purpose of seceding, but the purpose of saying to the federal government ‘if you mistreat us that’s what we might consider’,” said Paul, noting that New England talked about secession in the early 19th century and was not condemned for doing so.
Paul explained that the principle was really about states nullifying laws that were anathema to the Constitution.

“Nullification is the same thing – what if states could nullify the law? Look how wonderful it would have been to solve the problem of Obamacare if the states could just nullify the thing and get out of it, so nullification and secession should always be there,” said Paul.

“Secession is what we did when we left England, it was a wonderful thing,” said Paul, adding that there were no complaints when eastern European nations seceded from the Communist bloc.”

Denny's Plans to Deal With Obamacare: Raise Costs and Limit Employee Hours

The heavy hand of regulations known as Obamacare has many companies in the United States considering their future as employers. Layoffs, shorter work weeks, and job exodus plans continue to be the talk of companies looking to do battle with the federal government as Obama pushes his healthcare laws upon a free market. The healthcare law drives up costs to employ workers.

The restaurant chain Denny's has their plans to fight the new regulations. They are passing the costs onto their customers, which is the dirty little truth that most companies will be forced to do.

The Daily Mail writes:


President Obama's election victory ensured his Affordable Care Act would remain the centerpiece of his first term in power - but that has left some business owners baulking at the extra cost Obamcare will bring.

Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny's and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers' bills and will reduce his employees' hours.

With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January 2014, Metz has justified his move by claiming it is 'the only alternative. I've got to pass on the cost to the customer.'

Tom Stilson's Actions Aren't Growing the Republican Party

I don't want to spend much more time on Tom Stilson. Frankly, he isn't worth the pixels it takes to form the little 'r' on my computer. The 25 year old Congressional candidate who still lives at home with his mom and dad definitely isn't a little 'r' republican.

None the less, some things are just too good to pass up. The Christian County Republican Central Committee members are forwarding the following e-mail with an article written by Stilson expressing his ideas for growing the GOP.

Stilson: Post-Election Reflection- The Solutions Start with Us

Like many other Americans last Tuesday, I was disheartened by the results of the election. Yet, there is no reason for us to be surprised. We can only expect more in the future if we continue to propagate the mutual complaint society and the “excuse” game.

We can blame the “Mainstream Media”, unions, Obama, MSNBC, or planet Niburu and unicorns but it fails to address our own problems within the Conservative movement and Republican party. As a man greater than I once said, “Know thyself.” Our party and Conservatism in general is stuck searching for a Ronald Reagan, a Calvin Coolidge- some shining star we can turn to who will save our nation. Folks, there is a terrible truth we must face. Reagan, Washington, Coolidge, Jefferson did not change this country single-handedly. Millions had to believe in their vision for it to be successful.

The saving grace for this nation lies not in a single individual. We can no longer expect someone else to fight for us or for some Christ-like figure to rescue us from our own demise. Rather, it’s time we accepted our circumstances and began fighting the battles on our terms. As a young conservative, I find few in my generation who truly understand what it means to be a conservative and why they should be concerned about their future and the future of this country. Like a seasoned prosecutor, we have to make our case to the jury of the American people. In the last two presidential elections, we have presented lukewarm moderates as our answer and, unsurprisingly, the American people have largely failed to connect with them and rejected them for a man with soaring rhetoric but little substance.

If our nation buys into this rhetoric, how is it the Republican party and Conservatives as a whole have not communicated on the same level? Do we not love the ability to think freely? To have creative and constructive American ingenuity? Can we not communicate the beauty and success of Capitalism; the tremendous possibilities that lie ahead if we unleash the American Spirit, as opposed to crushing it under paperwork, regulation, and rules? We can win Americans to our side, but it won’t come through scaring them into our ideology.

My college baseball coach at Stanford used to jokingly say, “Fear is the best motivator.” True, but only in a totalitarian society. In a free society; incentives, the prospect of success, happiness, and achievement of one’s dreams are the driving force of motivation. If we take one thing from the election, it is the American people want the prospect of success and achievement in their future. We’ve had enough gloom and doom. If God should grace me so, I have many decades more to live, a career to be had, and a family to start. I see what this nation can be and the opportunities before our great country. My only fear is that we will never know these things because our movement failed to due what it should have done all along- stand by its principles and articulate a vision and plan for what America will be, not what it is. 

Oh my! Where to begin? So Tom Stilson wants to grow the Republican party, and yet his own personal actions, along with members of his family, are chasing away voters Republicans need to win elections.

Stilson looks to the young voter as being instrumental in building the party as he explains the need to teach conservationism to the youth. Wasn't it the Stilson family who insulted a large voting block of young Constitutional conservative voters?

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul had one of the most successful grassroots youth movements I have seen of a Republican presidential candidate. It has been said this movement of liberty minded conservatives may be the future of the Republican party, and with Rand Paul taking over the reigns the movement isn't going away.

I am reminded of that article written by Stilson's mother that insulted the Ron Paul movement--labeling these liberty minded voters as Paulbot maniacs. Many of these same voters tried to get involved in local politics in hopes of pushing the Constitution and liberty to the core of Republican politics by filing for committee seats in Stilson's home county of Christian. The very same Republican committee members backing Stilson ran an ad against these candidates claiming they were trying to hijack the Republican party labeling them as radical libertarians.

They seem to have forgotten Ronald Reagan said "libertarianism is the heart of conservatism".

But the ultimate hypocrisy of Stilson's call to grow the Republican party came after Stilson finished dead last in the Republican primary. Stilson had been collecting data about voters in Christian County who had begun a grassroots movement to elect one of Stilson's Congressional opponents in the primary. These voters did nothing more than participate in the political process by donating their time and resources to help spread the message of Stilson's Republican opponent. Stilson stalked many of these average citizens who were just participating in the electoral process even going as far as getting in the face of one of the supporters who had painted the side of his semi-trailer with Stilson's opponent's name, which Stilson went into a four letter word tirade demanding the trailer be removed from corner they were parking it on in Ozark.

I know of at least six of these people who received Federal Election Commission investigation letters from Washington after Stilson put together the data and pictures on these people and sent complaints to this bureaucratic machine--probably costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars. Of course Stilson's actions aren't actions of a person (I refuse to use the word "man" here since Stilson decided to run for Congress before moving out of his parents basement after graduating from college) who is serious about growing the Republican party. To punish people because they backed another Republican candidate isn't the image I am sure the Republican party needs as it suffers more defeats seen on election night this year. It sure doesn't sit well with voters who observed this knowing that Stilson is deeply connected to the powers that be in the local Republican party.

The GOP needs grassroots efforts like the one seen in his opponent's campaign, and Stilson's attempt to slap their wrists with FEC fines only hurts the GOP in the long run as these volunteers are left with a bad taste in their mouth after participating in the process and as the establishment promotes this sore loser within their ranks. The likelihood of these voters getting involved for other Republicans diminish thanks to Stilson's complaints.

Frankly Tom, many of us aren't blaming the mainstream media for the GOP's losses in 2012. We are blaming your buddies in the Republican establishment who alienated long-time Republican voters with their poorly ran caucuses, which often seem were never meant to be run fairly, and their rule changes at the National Convention (see Rule 16). You Tom Stilson, don't seem to get it either.

If the survival of the Republican party is dependent on a grass roots movement that promotes conservatism, then perhaps the Republican establishment needs to be the first to blame with it comes to the big losses suffered on election night. After all, it was the Republican establishment that insulted a large block of conservative voters while propping up the liberal Mitt Romney, a man who pushed gun control, abortion, and of course inspired Obamacare. Of course, the Republican establishment soon begged these conservative voters to vote for the liberal Romney as they realized Romney's campaign was dying. Mr. Stilson, these are the very same voters your family and friends insulted.

Of course this establishment also includes your buddies, Tom Stilson, on the county level who labeled liberty loving conservatives, who wanted nothing more than to participate in the process and be heard, as a bunch of radicals ready to hijack a party that has already been hijacked by the progressives who thought Romney was a good idea. Insulting passionate voters who love liberty isn't the best way to grow the party either, Tom Stilson.

Finally, Tom Stilson, you should blame yourself. After all it was you that took the impressive grassroots movement that supported your opponent and filed FEC complaints against them. This doesn't seem to be a solid formula for growing the party either Tom.

Perhaps you should look deep inside yourself Tom Stilson and see that your own actions not only hurt the party but wreak havoc on the very values you claim you wish to save. As a conservative Tom, your own actions are the reason people are sick of politics and don't wish to participate. When they get to that point, Tom Stilson, it's hard to win them back.
