October 29, 2000 - There's
No Reason to Preserve Corporate Welfare - "To
listen to Washington officials, you'd think cutting
the budget was impossible. In their view, every
program, no matter how inconsequential, has played a
critical role in America’s past success and must
be preserved to ensure the nation's future progress.
You don’t have to look far into the budget to find
spending for which there is no conceivable
justification..."
October 30, 2000 - U.S.
Congress Bows to WTO Mandate - Our
National Sovereignty is Violated, Texas
Straight Talk - A Weekly Column by Congressman Ron
Paul, An extraordinary event occurred this week in
Washington during the final days of the 106th Congress, an
event that did not receive comment in either the media or
the halls of Congress, save for my office. This event
had been termed "unthinkable" only a few months
earlier. It occurred despite clear constitutional
prohibitions and at the expense of our precious national
sovereignty. For the first time in the history of our
country, Congress voted to change our domestic laws because
an international body told us to do so. The World
Trade Organization (WTO) has begun to dictate American
laws...
October 18 2000 -
BILL
OF RIGHTS - CURE FOR GOVERNMENT DISEASE
- For years
the police told us, "We don't make the laws, we just
enforce them," and, "If you don't like the law,
then change it." So in 1996, my friends and I put
Proposition 215 on the California ballot to legalize
medical marijuana, which the voters ultimately approved by
a stunning 55.6 to 44.4 percent...
What's
Wrong With Multi-Level Marketing? - "Let
me tell you about an incredible ground-level business
opportunity," and you are invited to a house or to
lunch for "a discussion." Funny enough, you feel
sick in your gut that there is some hidden agenda or
deception. "Probably a multi-level marketing (MLM)
organization," you think. Suppose it is? Should you
trust your instincts? Is there anything wrong with MLM?"

October 21, 2000 - DRUG
LAWS INCOMPATIBLE WITH GOD'S LAWS... - In the
eyes of God, using government to prohibit drug use is more
immoral than drug use itself. Fighting a wrong with a wrong
does not make our drug policies right. Here are some
reasons. Unlike the sins of stealing, killing and other acts
that directly harm people, drug use is God's exclusive
province. Whatever people choose to do to their own bodies
(taking drugs, tattooing and body piercing, eating poorly,
not exercising, elective surgery) are issues solely between
them and their God (or nature), who metes out His own
natural punishment...
October 19, 2000 - AFTER
CLINTON & MCCAFFREY THE DELUGE... - Is anyone else surprised
that Republican Tom Campbell of San Jose, US Senator Dianne Feinstein's
opponent, is the only candidate for national office we hear making much noise
about the US being drawn into Colombia's 36-year civil war?
October 19, 2000 -
Do You Want Smaller Government? -
The most important political question you can ask yourself is simply this:
- Do you want smaller government?
- Do you want an end to the welfare state, to government destroying our health-care system, to government at all levels taking 47% of the national income in taxes, to government intrusions into your life and your business?
October
14, 2000 - Lesbian
Judge Lets Schoolboy Dress as Girl
- School officials said Friday
they will probably appeal a
lesbian judge's order allowing a
15-year-old boy to wear wigs,
tight skirts, padded bras, high
heels and other women's clothing
to class. Administrators said the
eighth-grader, identified in court
documents only as Pat Doe, is
disrupting school. But Superior
Court Judge Linda Giles ruled the
school district was violating the
boy's right to freedom of
expression...
A
Story of Davie Crockett -
One day in the House of
Representatives a bill was taken
up appropriating money for the
benefit of a widow of a
distinguished naval officer.
Several beautiful speeches had
been made in its support. The
speaker was just about to put the
question when Crockett arose...
George
W. Bush, Meet 'Twelve O'Clock
High' - OK, Beltway
Republicans, stop crying in your
beer over the poll numbers. Go
rent or buy a movie that you and
the Republican candidate need to
see, to assimilate, and most of
all to emulate. The movie is the
wonderful 1949 classic war movie
"Twelve O'Clock High..."
