This is a video of Bob Barr breaking down the views of John McCain and Barack Obama on Energy Policy and ANWR. I’m always for the common sense, and Barr’s views are the best I have heard. Just listen and watch for yourself, and lets discuss your common sense of the subject.

In it’s 232 years of existence, the U.S. has won its independence from England, helped the revolution in France, held off the British, won against the Spanish, best Mexico and won the independence of the future state of Texas, gained lands from Atlantic to Pacific, survived the Civil War, brought peace for both World Wars, took down Hitler, destroyed the Japanese (and then helped rebuilt), and won over the U.S.S.R during the Cold War.

Alongside military victories, the United States has also had it share in economic victories, such as the cotton gin, industrialization, telephones, cars, computers, and even nuclear power.

Socially, we gave ended slavery, gave freedoms to women, African Americans, and Native Americans. We have given the power to succeed to everyone, and everyone has been given the opportunity to live the American Dream.

But throughout it’s history, the United States has not been perfect. Slavery would be the major one, but not only socially. We got ourselves into the Great Depression, but we also got ourselves out and enjoyed quite the Golden Age.

What happen to that Golden Age though? What happen to the United States being the land that everyone loved? What happen to America being number one at everything - sports, education, technology, military?

Right now, the United States is in a bad position. We are in an economic recession (or at least heading into one). We are at war in two countries, Afghanistan and Iraq, both in which we just seem to be staying there, and not accomplishing the goals in which we sent our troops to go into. We have outsourced our jobs in exchange for lower prices, but this ignorance has left many jobless, unable to afford the cheaper products. The United States is being beat out by countries like China and Russia, our two greatest enemies and fellow super powers. Our education system is going down the drain, and our healthcare and medicare systems are becoming to socialist.

So, how do we fix these problems? Well first, since this is an election year, you can vote the right people into the right places. How do you know which is the right choice? Well, research! Do not vote out of ignorance. Throw political parties out the window, and vote for the candidate with the most common sense, no matter Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Independent.

We need to make sure the we bring the jobs we have sent over sees back. We need to fix the illegal immigration problem. We need to better our education system, and we need to make healthcare, medicare, and retirement cheaper and better for everyone. We need to help America first, and then help the rest of the world second. We need to finish the wars that we started, as quickly and efficiently as possible. We must stop wasteful spending, and we need to stimulate our economy.

There is a long road ahead, not matter which path we choose. To the left, you have the freedoms of democracy at risk, socialism put in place, and the government controlling what you do. To the right, you have lower taxes, freedoms, and less government. Now is the time to fix what we have done to the United States. The land of the free will always be so, but we will bring ourselves back to being number one, and no matter what, we should never let our country down, and never let it fall.

Ron Paul hasn’t officially endorsed Bob Barr, but I smell it coming closer now that he is out. So this is excellent news, as now Bob Barr and co. will get the crazy Ron Paul supporters, and we can spread the word and get votes for Barr easier now.

Third party candidates never have done much success in presidential elections. There have been two main parties throughout the history of the United States, from Federalist and Anti-Federalist, to the Democrats and Republicans of today. Now is the time for change, and in an election that is promoting “Change That We Can Believe In”, we need a real politician who can actually perform the changes that will be beneficial to our country. Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party is the choice for everyone to become the change that the United States needs so much.

How is Bob Barr “change”?

Well, for one he is not running under the Democrat or Republican party, but the Libertarian party. The Libertarian party has gain much ground in political positions throughout the country, and some American people are seeing this party as the party of the future, the party that can provide the much needed “change” that everyone is talking about.

What is the Libertarian party, and were did it come from?

The Libertarian party came about in 1971, or so says its logo. The Libertarians “seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of other”. The Libertarian party has been around for some time, and the Libertarian ideals have been around even longer. They believe in small government, less taxes, lower government spending, and more civil liberties. They believe Americans should remain free, and not be controled by the government. Where did they come from though? Well, I think much popularity came about from Ron Paul, who was running under the Republican party where many seen him as crazy. Others though, were crazy for Paul. Many of his supporters would flood polls, and place signs everywhere to get his name out, and it kind of worked. Paul did grab some delegates, but not nearly enough to compete. When Bob Barr decided to run under the Libertarian party, it also gave a boost in its popularity. Bob Barr was a former Republican Congressman from Georgia, but left the party due to the current administrations policies and infringement of civil liberties. Now with Bob Barr being the nominee, and Ron Paul supporting him, Barr has the crazy supporters that will go out there and spread the word, and will give Barr a fighting chance. Like Bob Barr said it, he is in for the win, and he sees this race as a three party race.

So why Bob Barr?

Well, Bob Barr makes sense. Let me break his agenda down for you.

He believes the government should spend less money, and what money it needs to spend, they need to do it better. Remember, the government gets its money from your taxes, so they are wasting your money.

He wants fierce tax reform. He dislikes income tax. Think about it, why should you be taxed on what you make, why not tax items that you buy? Doesn’t that make more sense. He also believes we need to repeal the 16th Amendment, which for those who don’t know, states that Congress has the authority to levy an income tax. Bob Barr also like the Fair Tax, especially the ability that under the Fair Tax that the 16th Amendment is repealed.

Bob Barr believes in reinstating the civil liberties that our founding fathers belived in. You know that Patriot Act. It seems like it was a good idea, you know, search out those terrorist. What many people don’t know is that it gives the power for the government to snoop around in you search. You remember that 4th Amendment? Yea it’s coming to you - it protects citizens from unlawful searches and seizures. That means the government needs reason and proof to search or inprison you.

Bob Barr also believes that Americans are good enough to make their own decisions. We do not need the government to tell us what to eat, how to educate ourselves, how to illuminate our houses. All Americans should be free to decide what is best for themselves and their families, but they also must know and accept the consequences of their decisions, whether good or bad.

He also wants secure borders, from the north and the south. We should not have to worry about foreign criminals, carriers of diseases, terrorist, and other threats from entering out great country undetected. For those already here, we do not need to protect them. If they came illegally, they are illegal. Also, until all governments take a unified front on the problem, Barr believes that it is the federal government’s responsibility to fix and maintain the situation.

Finally, Bob Barr believes that for took long American has been the “police force” of the world, but we are not. We do not need to involve ourselves in wars that do not involve us. We must respect other countries to fix their own problems. If though, the United States is attacked, the aggressor  experience firsthand the skillful wrath of the American fighting man. But we shall not invade another nation upon threats and speculative intelligence.

So, if you are not even considering Bob Barr right now, then you must be having a connection problem with the common sense portion of your brain. Below is a breakdown of the above - a more simplistic view of what was previously said:

1. The government should spend less money, and when the spend it they should do it responsibly.
2. Taxing income is not good. We should repeal the ability for the government to impose income taxes, and we should impose something like a national sales tax, Fair Tax.
3. Americans have their liberties, and it is time for them to know that they are protected. The government cannot invade your privacy unless there is due reason and proof.
4. The government should not make decision for its people, but the people should make their own decisions. The people must also take responsibility for the consequences of their decisions, either good or bad.
5.  Our borders need to be secure, and currently they are not. We should not feel threaten that our country can be invaded undetected by terrorist, criminals, and disease carriers.
5. Last, we should not enter wars unless we are attacked first. The United States is not the police force of the world, and we should not enter any war that doesn’t harm us.

Was that a little bit easier for you? Well I hope so. Bob Barr should be your candidate of choice now. So what should you do with all this information? Spread it of course. Spread the word of Bob Barr, as there are many ways to do it. Blog about him, add him to Facebook or Myspace, check him out on YouTube him, and even Digg. Keep spreading the word, and tell your friends and other supporter to spread the word as well. With the help of everyone, Bob Barr can be the next president, and you can be apart of history being on of the supporters of a “third-party candidate” who can, and will, win.

(All comments, questions, hatred is welcome, but be ready to defend yourselves.)

(CNN) — Zimbabwe police and war veterans stopped a convoy of two American Embassy cars and one British car Thursday, the U.S. ambassador to Zimbabwe said.

They slashed the tires and threatened to burn the people inside the vehicles if they did not accompany them to police headquarters, James McGee said.

The Zimbabwe police attacked an U.S. convoy? Sounds like an act of war to me.Now I know it does seem a little bit minor, and right now the information was just released, but I’m sure the White House knows a lot more. I’m not saying jump right into war, but a nice threat or two - you know, the usual embargo and the occasional build up of a few tanks will get them scared. I mean really, who does Zimbabwe think they are?

But your right, it could of been just those people who actually did it, and they might have just been in the police, but still, countries should keep this kind of stuff under control, and they owe us something. I’m sure we can forge up some documents to get a hefty payment from this country, as they did destroy the cars, and threaten to burn them while the people were inside.

Clinton must keep pushing to get all the votes in Florida and Michigan counted. This “half-count” isn’t going to work. She can keep using the defense that it is the right of everyone to have their vote counted. And really, does it really matter that these two states broke the rules? Who cares who gets to vote first, as long as all the voted are counted, it shouldn’t really matter.

Even pushing for those states, Clinton would be really close to grab the nomination. She should continue promoting that she can win in the swing states, and that she has a closer heart to Americans who are middle class and lower, as long as they are not black of course. This is the majority of American. So what if Obama can get the big cities and richer areas, Clinton supporters are those who make America work, not those who run it (technically speaking of course).

Next Clinton must force the Sexism card. She is a female, it can work. Only problem with this is that lately the Racism card seems to work way better than that Sexism card, so she might have a problem there. But women did technically get more rights after blacks did, so she could use that to her advantage. Anyways, she just has to really show how the media is being sexist to her.

Finally, she need to shove it to Obama. I’m meaning this: Hillary must show America who Obama really is, and show how the Democrat heads have a pre-destined life for Obama, and that he was chosen the winner a while back. Show his inexperience, and the fact that his name is even known is because he gave a speech that everyone was actually awake for. Show his connections, the fact that he had to leave his church, the same church he as been with for years, because of some connections he had with them. Sound pretty suspicious to me. Clinton, I know you have some people who can dig into this, why not do it.

For Clinton to win, she ultimately need to bring down Obama, and show him America who he really is. If she does, many Super Delegates will come to her side, and will propel her to victory in the Democratic Primary Race!

Watching this debate however, did pose more questions, but I did learn more about him, and the answers that he gave did make sense. Even though there are a few kinks in what I believe and what he believes, it is still less than John McCain.

I will always see John McCain as a hero, and as a really good politician, but I believe in liking people who like what I like, and like I have said before, noone will be perfect on what I believe except me, and I will just have to accept who is closer, and in this situation it has turned out to be Bob Barr.

So I guess if you want to label me, label me a Libertarian, but just remember, Barr was a Republican during when he was a senator, so he’s not that far off. So, sorry John McCain, but you lost my endorsement, how ever powerful it was, and congratulations Bob Barr, I now endorse you!
