Iowa Teacher: Ron Paul Doesn’t Know Constitution

August30th
Iowa Teacher: Ron Paul Doesn't Know Constitution
Tom Woods

Time for another smackdown.

Here's what a teacher from Iowa writes in the Daily Iowan today (in italics), followed by my comment:

Ron Paul's "domestic agenda undermines his foreign-policy appeal."

I dealt with this let's-keep-the-killing-and-war-propaganda-going argument yesterday.

"Claiming that the Constitution does not authorize Congress to create a Department of Education (it does), Paul displays a startling lack of Constitutional competency. Article I, Section VIII, Clause XVIII the 'Necessary and Proper Clause' granted Congress the authority to create the Department of Education in 1979 with the 'Department of Education Organization Act.'"

Kids, don't listen to what your teachers tell you about the Constitution. It's really that simple. Let's count the problems with this claim.

(1) George Nicholas, future attorney general of Kentucky, told the Virginia ratifying convention (and remember, according to James Madison it is to the ratifying conventions that we turn for constitutional interpretation) that the necessary and proper clause "only enables them [Congress] to carry into execution the powers given to them, but gives them no additional power." In other words, citing this clause for authority to establish a Department of Education begs the question, since our Iowa teacher has not first established education as one of "the powers given to them."

(2) In Federalist #33, Alexander Hamilton noted that the clause only made explicit what was logically and unavoidably implied in the Constitution's very nature, and that it added nothing other than simple clarification: "It may be affirmed with perfect confidence that the constitutional operation of the intended government would be precisely the same, if these clauses [necessary and proper and the supremacy clause] were entirely obliterated, as if they were repeated in every article. They are only declaratory of a truth which would have resulted by necessary and unavoidable implication from the very act of constituting a federal government, and vesting it with certain specified powers."

(3) In numerous state ratifying conventions the people were assured the federal government would have only the powers "expressly delegated" (yes, those were the words used) to it. Power over education is obviously not expressly delegated.

(4) Jefferson explained that "necessary and proper" had to mean really necessary, as opposed to merely convenient, if the clause were not to swallow up the whole Constitution and defeat its very purpose:

The Constitution allows only the means which are "necessary," not those which are merely "convenient" for effecting the enumerated powers. If such a latitude of construction be allowed to this phrase as to give any non-enumerated power, it will go to everyone, for there is not one which ingenuity may not torture into a convenience in some instance or other, to some one of so long a list of enumerated powers. It would swallow up all the delegated powers, and reduce the whole to one power, as before observed. Therefore it was that the Constitution restrained them to the necessary means, that is to say, to those means without which the grant of power would be nugatory.

(More on this in my 33 Questions.)

"President Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, championed this idea from his time in the Virginia Legislature."

Ouch. Here's what Jefferson actually said: "An amendment to our constitution must here come in aid of the public education."

An amendment to our Constitution. That means federal involvement in education is unconstitutional given the text of the document as it stands. Nice try, though.

"James Madison, architect and primary author of the Constitution, also defended this belief."

Wrong again. (See a pattern here?) Here's Madison in 1792, explaining the absurdity of broad constructions of the "general welfare" clause: "If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare…they may take into their own hands the education of children." Madison was saying that if we were silly enough to misinterpret the general welfare clause, it would lead to an absurdity like federal involvement in education.

The rest of the article is an attempt to argue from precedent: hey, lots of people did this or that. That doesn't answer the question: is it constitutional? Neoconservatives have tried the same line of argument to show that the broad presidential war powers we have grown accustomed to are constitutional -- hey, everyone's doing it! You sure that's a road you want to travel down?

Funny how the Department of Education is now a sacred cow, when (as I show in Rollback) at the time it was proposed even the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the president of the American Federation of Teachers came out against it.

Iowans, this teacher's name is Scott McKeag. If he is teaching your child, your child's head is being filled with lies.

Surrogate Smack-Down

Surrogate Smack-Down
How Limbaugh's Guest Hosts choreographed his Anti-Paul message
by Brian Wilson

For the last 6 years, I have been wearing the 3 hats of Program Director, News Director and Host of PM Drive (3p-6p) on WSPD, Toledo's #1 News/Talk station. 46 years in radio/TV, I've labored in the broadcasting vineyards from Baton Rouge to Houston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Dallas-Ft.Worth, San Francisco, New York City and several lesser media markets along the way. I was part of the Original Cast at the start of CNN, did the last music show and first local talk show on WABC/New York. I "invented" Vacation Relief, providing talk talent (mine) to major market radio stations around the country via ISDN. As such, I have had the pleasure of subbing for at some of America's heritage Talk stations and filling in for the likes of Art Bell, Laura Ingraham, Jim Bohanon and other nationally syndicated luminaries. For a few semi-glorious years, I and my wife, a degreed broadcast journalist, actually owned our own station in Maryland. (Just as gloriously, we sold it a few years ago). I was the opening act for Sigmund & Roy's Radio City Music Hall tour, did a couple ABC TV "Specials" with Dick Clark and have had the pleasure of interviewing giants from just about every field imaginable.

There's more but my Episcopalian-instilled modesty is one my less endearing charms and I have violated the rather strict parameters already. I wouldn't have mentioned any at all if it wasn't relevant to what follows.

For your consideration: Did the "Godfather" of Talk Radio* send his surrogates do his dirty work?

*I have done two shows with Rush during his "Rush To Excellence" Tour circa 1992-93. This included chauffeuring him to the stand-up following the radio show and somehow taking my producer to dinner afterwards. A year later, hosting "Talk at Night, an Atlanta live-with-band-audience-guests-and-callers TV show, Rush brought me in to "consult" his fledgling and ill-fated TV efforts.

During the recent (and blessed) Rush Limbaugh vaca, the 3 Marks (Davis, Steyn and Belling)* pulled various days of what we in The Biz call "vacation relief". As the President, CEO and Grand Exalted Omnipotent Stomper of Vacation Relief, Incorporated and a veteran of the Great Radio Wars (see above), I can testify they did their usual good job(s), actually exceeding the quality of the work product generally spewed by the Great (his word) El Rush-Bo, N-3P ET on too many radio stations "across the fruited plane" (his words again). Note this is a purely objective observation; one doesn't have to agree with the substance to acknowledge the technical quality of the performance.

Listening to the last 30 minutes of the Limbaugh show cum Mark-of-the-Day, a succession of events occurred, not spontaneously generated on any show I have ever heard. Ever. For every day in that time slot, the host du jour stated in a slightly different ways he was being goaded into "say[ing] something (bad) about Ron Paul"; Mark Steyn had the class to demur. Allegedly, the prodding was coming from the ubiquitous but unheard phone screener "Bo Snerdly"* with whom Limbaugh has regular one-sided conversations.

*While I don't know Belling and won't be interviewing Steyn for 2 more weeks, Mark Davis and I worked together for a year in Washington, DC prior to his move to Dallas-Ft.Worth where I was his regular "vacation relief" for 12 years.

**"Bo Snerdly" is nom de air for James Golden. We worked together at WABC/NY where he was Assistant Music Director before the switch to Talk. We appeared on a couple NYC TV shows a few year later. He is a genuine talent in his own right and had a short-lived LA talk show.

For LRC Readers fortunate to be otherwise productively occupied, the feigned reluctant response from Belling and Davis went something like…

You just want me to say something bad about Ron Paul, don't you? Well alright – well, let me just say: Ron Paul…he can't win…he can't get elected…he'll never get the nomination. Ron Paul means 4 more years of Obama. Ron Paul is the wacky uncle who shows up at the family picnic and everyone tries to ignore. I mean, I love the guy's passion for the Constitution but his wacky foreign policy ideas, wanting Iran to have nukes! Well, that's just insane. Tell ya what – he should just drop out of the race and when whichever true GOP candidate wins the White House appoint Ron Paul to head the Fed! Then he can audit the Fed all he wants! That's it! Or make him Secretary of the Treasury!

Yeah. That's the ticket!

Lew Rockwell himself will tell you: I am an unabashed, unrepentant, unexpurgated, unadulterated, unJabberwocked supporter of Ron Paul and the Doctor's prescription for what ails America. Mega-Dittos: the US Constitution. (Granted, it has its flaws -- but it's the Rule Book we have for now unless/until something better -- or worse! -- comes along).

Against this background, I was more appalled than amazed how 2 of the 3 Marks made this special effort to debase, ridicule and marginalize the Ron Paul candidacy. Based on the embarrassing comportment of the MSM efforts re Paul last election cycle, more of the same was only to be expected. But at the same time? In the same segment? Each day? Almost verbatim? By different hosts on the same show? Trust me: that is not the product of the spontaneous combustion chamber Talk radio prides itself on being. That it happened on arguably the most listened-to radio program on the air whose host is notoriously in the tank for the GOP Establishment left a slime inside my Electronic Listening Device.

Having heard portions of Limbaugh's own "Move Away Closer/Don't Make Me Do It" criticism of the Paul candidacy – including its supporters – that Belling and Davis would mimic not just the same faux reluctance to take their Neo-Con shots but the same dissing for the same reasons, set my tin-foil hat on fire. But knowing some of these guys reasonably well, the nature and function of Talk Radio really well and the subterfuge of politics of destruction too damn well… maybe tin foil does burn after all.

How can a Neo-Con claiming to be a good Tea Party supporter read the Constitution and not have passion for the Ron Paul candidacy – unless they support the same "Living Document" hogwash for which they criticize Liberals? Iran nukes? Paul has stated emphatically he does not want Iran to have nukes; he doesn't want anybody to have nukes. He'd like to do away with all nukes. If you own the franchise "War-Mongering for Fun and Profit", what's wrong with that? "Wacky" Foreign Policy? Paul has acknowledged and spoken to the point of what it means to be a "sovereign country" just as American is a sovereign country. But it would appear this is a distinction without a difference for too many of my radio colleagues. How does this happen? Is it intellectually impossible to appreciate all countries are as sovereign as the United States? Would Americans abide Iranian jets enforcing a No Fly Zone over Washington, DC, strafing, bombing, embargoing America into submission to their world view? Recently, I asked Congressman Paul: Where is the morality in pre-emption? He replied, "I don't believe it's there."

Do you?

(Note to self: Work on developing arguments in favor of No-Fly Zone over DC)

Here's a little experiment to try at the next Tea Party event:

You: I will bet everything I own – everything – that I can walk out on any basketball court play any 5 basketball stars you can name and beat them by 2 points. Wanna take the bet?

Them: BWAHAHAHAAHA! Hell, yeah!! But just how to you figure to pull this off?

You: Simple, along with my $200 "Air Jordon" Nikes, Budweiser sponsored sweat band and Shaquille O'Neal Official "Big Boy" athletic supporter; I'll also sporting my Kimber CDP .45. Just as the ref tosses up the ball, I'll shoot all 5 guys, thus winning possession, dribble down court and eventually sink a field goal. I win by two points! Tah-dah! Pay up.

Them: AH! But you broke the rules! And you broke the law! Carry guns aren't exactly sanctioned NBA paraphernalia, ya know.

You: Oh yeah!? Where does it say that?

Them: In the rules and in the law, dummy.

You: Oh! Well…Gee…yeah…I guess you're right. Preemptively shooting people to win the game isn't in the rules….hmmm…OK forget it... But while we're on the subject, how do you explain Libya? Afghanistan? Pakistan? Iraq? Where in "the rules" does it say the US has the unobjectionable, unquestionable, unassailable, unique and absolute authority to invade another sovereign country sans their aggression upon us? At least in my basketball bet, everyone agreed to the contest and without the Kimber, there is no question I would have lost everything. You're supporting an unprovoked and Constitutionally un-sanctioned military action against a sovereign country based on lies and self-serving political reasons, killing innocent people who have not taken up arms against us. How is that moral? Legal? Constitutional? Or even decent? The Constitution is America's Rule Book. It places specific "rules on what the government can and cannot do. Our government has been breaking those rules with impunity for a loooong time. Only a distinct minority, headed by Ron Paul – often only by Ron Paul – has even attempted to make Government play by the rules. "Conservatives" and Neo-Cons hate him for reminding them their oft-professed love for and oath taken to uphold and defend the Constitution makes hypocrites of them all.

Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Davis, Belling, FOX News and the Alphabet News Gang cannot or will not answer the dreaded and embarrassing Constitution question. Oh, they do a great job circumventing the facts, tossing out sarcasm, hyperbole and rhetoric with the occasional ad hominem reserved for "those Ron Paul callers" in their non-stop efforts to corrode public opinion – but they cannot make their answer fit in the Constitution. How do you think the "Non Mark", Professor Walter E. Williams would answer Mr. Snerdly?

Thanks to John Stewart for his viral YouTube smack-down of the networks recent "Ignore Paul in Iowa" Campaign. The subsequent response from FOX et al is proof positive what can be accomplished with sufficient and immediate push-back via public opinion.

Keep those emails and phone calls coming!

Jump Ball anyone?

segregation is back ... in the north

A high school has defended its decision to segregate students by race
and gender.

The scheme, at McCaskey East High School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
separates black students from the rest of the school pupils, and then
further breaks it down into black females and black males.

Today the school's principal defended the policy.
Bill Jimenez said the school noticed that black students were not
performing as well as other students, and that research had shown that
same-race classes with strong same-race role models led to better
academic results.

Mr Jimenez admitted that no other students were divided by race at the
school, but he added that academic data dictated the school take a
different approach with its black students.

He told Lancasteronline.com: 'One of the things we said when we did
this was, "Let's look at the data, let's not run from it. Let's
confront it and see what we can do about it".'

The idea came from Angela Tilghman, an instructional coach at McCaskey
East.

She said statistics had shown about a third of McCaskey's African-
Americans scored proficient or advanced in reading on last year's
Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests, compared with 60 per
cent of white students and 42 per cent of students overall.

In mathematics, only 27 per cent of black students scored proficient
or advanced.
McCaskey East High School

She said research had shown that grouping black students by gender
with a strong role model could boost both academic achievement and
self-esteem.

Some students, staff and parents were against the segregation, saying
that it ran against everything the school stood for - with students
from diverse backgrounds.

But it was something Mr Jimenez thought was worth trying.

In all segregated classes, mentors track their students' grades, test
scores and attendance.

One such mentor is Michael Mitchell, who hopes to inspire his black
male students during their short daily meetings.

He said he often quoted the Reverend Martin Luther King, who said:
'Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and
conscientious stupidity.'

Mr Mitchell recently used the quote when he found that some of his
students were failing gym.

He said: 'They're all young. They're all strong. They're all athletic.
But they're failing because they chose not to participate.

'That's an example of "conscientious stupidity". You can do but you
choose not to do. These are the things we need to get away from.'

Re: FEC Prepared to UnConstitutionally Permit another Muslim, non-Natural Born Citizen run for President

Raising donations for something you can not do is fraud. Plain and simple.

Don't political candidates have regulations for donations that are left over after they drop out of or loose a race?

Could he just be raising money to give it to someone else after he drops out?

Or worse could he keep it?

Seismic evidence reveals underground nuclear detonation south of
Washington DC.
Posted by PC World news Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

Seismology charts are now revealing that the 5.8 magnitude tremor
that rattled the entire East Coast including Washington DC was not a
natural earthquake but an earthquake that resulted from an
underground nuclear detonation. The image above is a seismograph
from Washington and Lee University, (similar one found on
www2.tricities.com website) about 85 miles southwest of the
earthquake's epicenter in Mineral. The green lines indicates the
tremor that was felt in Washington DC which caused damaged to the
Washington Memorial and the Washington National Cathedral. The black
lines is a transparent overlay of a seismograph from a pdf file from
Virginia Division Mineral Resources on Earthquakes. That file
describes a typical natural occurring earthquake as:

"When a fault ruptures, energy is released in the form of seismic
waves. The first waves to reach the earth's surface are primary or
"P" waves (Figure 2). P waves are compressional waves that travel at
a speed of about four miles per second near the surface – faster as
depth increases. The next waves to reach the earth's surface are
secondary or "S" waves. S waves are shear waves that move at a speed
of about 1.5 miles per second. P and S waves are body waves that
travel through the earth much like sonar waves travel through water.
Surface waves, which are slower than S waves, travel along the
surface of the earth much like waves at the surface of the ocean. S
waves and surface waves cause the most destruction at the earth's
surface."

What is missing from the seismograph for the Washington DC area 5.8
magnitude earthquake are the primary or "P" waves. All earthquakes
that are the direct result of fault rupture have these primary or "P"
waves. Nuclear detonations do not. Underground nuclear detonations
are very violent and immediate with no forewarnings whatsoever. An
underground detonation would account for the missing "P" seismic
waves for the Washington DC 5.8 magnitude earthquake. If you've ever
witnessed a controlled demolition of a building you would no doubt
describe the earth tremors as millions of people are now describing
what it felt like on August 23, 2011 all along the East coast.

Air Force tunnel boring machine links deep underground military bases
across U.S.

I was pointed to this overlooked piece of evidence by someone who
claimed to be with the United States Air Force. The story submission
appeared to be sent by mistake as nothing was visible in the body of
the submission. Instead of sending it to the trash I thought I would
apply an old intelligence trick I was taught back in 1989. I right
clicked my mouse on the body of the submission and selected all, then
copy. I then opened up the notepad and selected paste from the
menu. You would expect nothing to be pasted as there was nothing in
the body of the submission but, just as I thought, a paragraph was
pasted into the notepad. What was revealed was 1 paragraph whereby
who ever sent it stated he was a member of the United States Air
Force. He stated that the Virginia 5.8 magnitude earth "wasn't a
natural earthquake and not a HAARP earthquake". He told me to find a
seismograph of the Washington DC area earthquake and compare it to a
past earthquake. Then he stated that I should Google DUMB or Deep
Underground Military Bases. He ended by stating "the ABC warnings
are real". I tried to trace the IP of the submission but they don't
exists.

Based on the discrepancy between a natural earthquake and an
underground nuclear detonation (used seismographs from the North
Korea underground nuclear detonation and past U.S. underground
nuclear tests), it would appear that yes there was an earthquake but
an earthquake created as a result of an underground nuclear
detonation. It would also appear that the United States Air Force
has intercepted a nuclear bomb that was being transported via the
deep underground tunnel systems that links secret deep underground
military bases across the United States, to Washington DC. It would
appear that some people in the United States Air Force are taking
action to prevent another false flag attack on US soil. It is good
to know that there are still people in the United States military who
are upholding their oath to defend the United States from all its
enemies, both foreign and domestic.

U.S. military personnel, dedicated to protecting the United States,
its people and the United States Constitution have intercepted CIA/
MOSSAD nukes that were in transit from the CIA's underground Denver
base to Washington DC on August 23, 2011. The CIA/MOSSAD were
transporting the nukes underground in tunnels built by the United
States Air Force that connects secret underground bases throughout
the United States. In case of a cataclysmic natural disaster or
nuclear attack the United States government now has the means to go
underground and stay underground for weeks, months, years or until
such time as it is safe to return to the surface. Those tunnels
makes it possible for the president and a handful of others to escape
Washington DC via underground to other parts of the country not
affected by a natural cataclysmic disaster or nuclear attack.

The U.S. military allowed the nukes to be transported out of Denver
(the CIA base is under Denver International Airport) to what they
call safe areas. Safe areas were preselected to minimize the damage
and nuclear fallout should the people that were transferring the
nukes prematurely detonated the nukes. The two earthquakes that
struck the U.S. yesterday August 23, 2011 were the result of the U.S.
military efforts to prevent another false flag attack against the
United States. Thanks to those brave men and women those nukes were
intercepted in scarcely populated remote areas.

The first interception took place outside of Trinidad and under a
mountain and the second interception took place under farmland 84
miles SW of Washington DC. No major damage has been reported above
ground.

Re: FEC Prepared to UnConstitutionally Permit another Muslim, non-Natural Born Citizen run for President

I don't see a problem.... the restriction is against holding the
office, not running for office.

First an Aunt...Now an Uncle.....Go Obama!!!!

Facebook Twitter Reddit Digg E-mail Print Rss
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- President Obama's uncle was stopped on suspicion
of drunken driving, told police he planned to arrange bail through the
White House, and was being held without bail on an immigration
detainer, authorities said Monday.

Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested last week in Framingham, about 20
miles west of Boston. Police said he did not completely stop at a stop
sign and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his sport utility vehicle.

Police said that after being booked at the police station, Mr. Obama
was asked whether he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for
bail.

"I think I will call the White House," he stated, according to a
police report filed in Framingham District Court.

Police said Mr. Obama, who is originally from Kenya and is the half-
brother of the President's late father, pleaded not guilty Friday and
was being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. In a court document, ICE said he had an earlier
deportation or removal order.

His immigration status could not be confirmed immediately. Such orders
are generally reserved for people living in the country illegally.

An immigration detainer, used by ICE to identify people in jail or
prison who could be deported, is a request to another law enforcement
agency to notify ICE before releasing the person from custody so ICE
can arrange to take over custody.

A spokesman for ICE declined to comment on Mr. Obama's immigration
case, and the White House had no comment.

Mr. Obama was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol,
negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to yield the right
of way.

Officer Val Krishtal said Mr. Obama registered 0.14 percent on a blood-
alcohol breath test, which is above the state's legal driving limit of
0.08 percent.

Michael Rogers, a spokesman for Cleveland immigration attorney
Margaret Wong, said Ms. Wong will represent Mr. Obama. He confirmed
that Mr. Obama is the half-brother of the President's father. as well
as the brother of Zeituni Onyango of Boston.

She made headlines last year when she won the right to stay in the
United States after a deportation order. She came to the United States
from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in
2004.

She stayed in the country illegally. She was granted asylum last year
by a judge.

The Best Ron Paul Interview Ever?

The Best Ron Paul Interview Ever?
Ron Paul schools neocon Chris Wallace, who is suddenly respectful of his surge

Ron Paul joins Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday to discuss his rise in the mainstream presidental polls (to #3 on the latest Gallup) and the hot issues of the day. It is impossible not to notice how these interviews have changed. The normally belligerent neocon host was respectful as Ron smoothly and convincingly stated his positions.

Since this interview coincided with the media hysteria about Hurricane Irene, Wallace first asked Ron why he was opposed to FEMA. As the representative of a Gulf Coast district, Ron knows full-well the damage the weather can do. Indeed, he says: "It has the worst reputation for a bureaucracy ever. It hinders local people keeps people away from their homes. It's a system of central economic planning that is deeply flawed.....and it's broke."

Ron also rips the US intervention in Libya. He schools Wallace about the consequences of our destructive foreign policy. When asked about Gaddafi, Ron reminds him that "we've been very bad at picking dictators around the world. We may be delivering al-Qaida another prize."

Regarding Austrian economics – which Ron is actually asked about – he describes his solution for a healthy economy as, government "hands off, free markets, property rights, no bailouts, and sound money." The Fed has caused endless problems with its policy of keeping interest rates artificially too low for too long. It has to stop monetizing debt.

When asked if he's in it to win it, Ron says Yes – but he wants to take a different approach – Not to seek power, but to seek to diminish it, to diminish dependency on government. People are waking up and saying "Ron Paul is right," he notes. Darn right!

There They Go Again

There They Go Again
by Peter Schiff

Picking up where they left off in 2008, the media is in the midst of a campaign to ignore and undermine the presidential candidacy of Ron Paul (they gave me even rougher treatment during my 2010 Senate run). Political pundits just do not know what to do with a candidate who fails to fit into the blue and red boxes that form the simple narrative of American politics. They are perturbed by the grass roots nature of the campaign, by the strange honesty and earnestness of the candidate and his supporters, and the odd mixture of conservative values and liberty-minded policies. And like most adolescents, they reject what they don't understand.

The media's revulsion reached a fever pitch in the wake of the August 12 Iowa Straw Poll, the first test of the strength of Republican Presidential candidates. Objectively the results were a dead heat between Michelle Bachman and Ron Paul, who captured 28% and 27% of the votes respectively. But you would never have known that based on the subsequent media coverage.

The story that almost all news outlets ran with was that the poll produced a "top-tier" of candidates that included Bachman, Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry (both Romney and Perry received less than 5% of the Iowa vote). There was almost no mention of Congressman Paul's strong performance. The media also ignored how Perry's entrance into the race will draw votes away from Bachman, thereby benefiting Paul. The media silence even prompted comedian Jon Stewart to issue a hilarious and scathing indictment.

Now the media is even impugning what should be seen as the Congressman's most successful accomplishment: the performance of his investment portfolio.

In an August 20 article entitled " Candidate of Doom and Gloom," Barron's magazine goes out of its way to characterize Ron Paul's gold mining-heavy portfolio allocation as simplistic, robotic, and unpatriotic. And while the reporter, Barron's Washington bureau chief Jim McTague, grudgingly recognized how these "stopped clock" investments had made strong gains over the last few years, he glaringly under-reported the long term success and wisdom of the Congressman's strategy.

By any objective standard the portfolio would make any financial superstar green with jealousy. Fueled by his understanding of the inflationary policies unrelentingly pushed by his colleagues in Washington, Ron wisely loaded up on gold and gold mining stocks in the mid to late 1990s when those assets were regarded as the poor stepchildren of Wall Street. Although these assets have significantly beaten the broad markets over the one and three year time frames used in the article, most of their phenomenal gains occurred earlier in the last decade. McTague, however, completely neglects to mention this despite his noting that Ron Paul favored a "buy and hold" strategy that surely gave him exposure to those fat years.

Amazingly, the average 10 year return of the 8 stocks listed in his top 10 holdings (that have 10 year track records – the two other positions have not been around that long) came in at more than 600%! During that time frame the S&P 500 was down 3%. Is there any stock mutual fund that can even touch that performance over a decade? Not likely.

If Barron's chooses to label this strategy as "stopped clock" investing, so be it. But a more honest assessment would simply call it "successful" investing.

But ignoring his returns is just a minor offense in the article. Its main attack is far more subtle. Using evangelical language, McTague stresses that the Congressman's investment decisions were informed by a lack of faith in the United States. His portfolio is described as a "super bearish bet against the United States," implying that the Congressman is unpatriotic. Would it have been more patriotic to foolishly bet on the U.S. economy and to have gone broke like the majority of American investors?

More pernicious still are implications that the Congressman opposed the recent debt ceiling increase because he was looking to goose his investment returns. The article argues that an engineered default (by failing to raise the ceiling) would have caused economic crisis in the U.S., thereby pushing up the price of gold and gold-related investments. Not only is this a low blow but the logic is faulty at its core.

It is much more likely that a failure to raise the debt ceiling would have signaled an end to reckless spending and currency debasement, which would have restored confidence in the U.S. dollar and taken the shine off of gold and gold-related investments. In fact, all of Paul's efforts in Congress over the decades to champion more responsible monetary and fiscal policy can be seen as detrimental to his own investment portfolio. If anything, his actions have been selfless rather than selfish.

Like most investment professionals, Ron Paul's opponents likely failed to comprehend the damage the overly expansive monetary and fiscal policy would do to our economy and, as a result, adopted mainstream investment strategies. While Barron's could try to characterize such approaches as being more patriotic, it certainly cannot describe them as being more successful. Isn't it about time we elected a president with some substance rather than someone who pantomimes in the preferred manner? Who do we want working in the Oval Office anyway: one of the few who understood how government policy would undermine our economy, and arranged his finances to profit from it, or one of many who had no clue?

The fact that Ron Paul chose to invest as he has is a testament to his intellect and his pragmatism. The fact that he voted the way he did, and tried relentlessly to persuade his colleagues to do likewise, in direct opposition to his personal investment strategy, is a testament to his patriotism. He knew that his appeals would fall on deaf ears and that Washington would destroy the dollar in its quest to "save" the economy. So while he tried to stop the train from running off a cliff, he took the sensible step of buying a parachute. Sounds like a guy I would like to see in the White House.

Too bad no one in the media seems to share these views.

The Illusion of Safety

The Illusion of Safety
by Ron Paul

Recent incidents of violence in Norway and London have made us understandably uncomfortable here at home, as many fear that a worsening economy will lead to violence and unrest in American cities. This is why Congress must view the economy as its first priority and a matter of national security: unless and until we get our fiscal house in order to foster economic growth, civil society will continue to deteriorate.

The fundamental lesson every American should learn from these incidents is that government cannot protect us. No matter how many laws we pass, no matter how many police or federal agents we put on the streets, a determined individual or group can still cause great harm. Both Norway and England have strict gun control laws, and London in particular has security cameras monitoring nearly all public areas. But laws and spy cameras are useless in the face of lawless mobs or sick mass killers. Only private individuals on the scene could have prevented or lessened these tragedies. And we should remember that theft, arson, and property damage were not the only criminal acts in London--innocent bystanders were assaulted and killed as well. In those instances deadly force used in self-defense would have been fully justified.

Perhaps the only good that can come from these terrible events is a reinforced understanding that we as individuals are responsible for our safety and the safety of our families. This means, frankly, that we must safely own and use firearms to deter or prevent criminal assaults on our homes and persons. It is absurd to think police or government agents can protect 310 million Americans around the clock.

Thanks to our media and many government officials, however, Americans have become conditioned to view the state as our protector and the solution to every problem. Whenever something terrible happens, especially when it becomes a prominent news story, people reflexively demand that government do something. This impulse almost always leads to bad laws, more debt, and the loss of liberty. It is completely at odds with the best American traditions of self-reliance and individual responsibility.

Do we really want to live in a world of police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors? Do we want to imprison every disturbed or alienated individual who fantasizes about violence? Do we really believe government can provide total security? Or can we accept that liberty is more important than the illusion of state-provided security?

Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference unless they use force or fraud against others. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens' lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.

JP Please Support to Rain Affectees in Badin and Thatta

Dear Friends,

THE wrong rain forecasts, the failure of the provincial disaster management authority and the Sindh government to invest in preventive measures, have proved to be disastrous for the people, land and agriculture of the six main agro-based districts of the lower Sindh.

The heavy downpour led to breaches in the LBOD and canals affecting the Kharif crops of cotton and paddy and washed away standing crops of cotton, rice, chilly, onion, tomato, vegetables and fodder on thousands of acres in lower region of the province. The losses were enormous estimated at around $10 billion. Over two million people were affected and at least 120,000 forced to vacate their homes. About 30 people lost their lives in the rains while 140 sustained injuries during floods. Some 15 people died in camps due to outbreak of waterborne diseases. Hundreds of mud houses in villages were washed away and the displaced persons were facing severe shortage of safe drinking water, sufficient food and other livelihood items. Large migration was still taking place.

Serving the parents is a source of healing / Shifa for our soul / heart, without Khidmat of parents, the heart becomes brittle & sick, & we have a concept that a healthy body can't compensate the damage caused by a sick heart / soul, on the contrary, a healthy heart can surely offset the darkness of physical diseases.

بھول نہ جانا کتنے شوق سے تم کو رنگ برنگے کپڑے پہناتی تھی
اک اک دن میں دس دس بار بدلواتی تھی
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
میرے یہ کمزور قدم گر جلدی جلدی اُٹھ نہ پائیں
میرا ہاتھ پکڑ لینا تم ،تیز اپنی رفتار نہ کرنا
بھول نہ جانا،میری انگلی تھام کے تم نے پاؤں پاؤں چلنا سیکھا
میری باہوں کے حلقے میں گرنا اور سنبھلنا سیکھا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
جب میں باتیں کرتے کرتے،رُک جاؤں ،خود کو دھراوں
ٹوٹا ربط پکڑ نہ پاؤں،یادِ ماضی میں کھو جاؤں
آسانی سے سمجھ نہ پاؤں،مجھ کو نرمی سے سمجھانا
مجھ سے مت بے کار اُلجھنا،مجھے سمجھنا
اکتاکر، گھبراکر مجھ کو ڈانٹ نہ دینا
دل کے کانچ کو پتھر مار کے کرچی کرچی بانٹ نہ دینا
بھول نہ جانا جب تم ننھے منے سے تھے
ایک کہانی سو سو بار سنا کرتے تھے
اور میں کتنی چاہت سے ہر بار سنا یاکرتی تھی
جو کچھ دھرانے کو کہتے،میں دھرایا کرتی تھی
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

اگر نہانے میں مجھ سے سُستی ہو جائے
مجھ کو شرمندہ مت کرنا،یہ نہ کہنا آپ سے کتنی بُو آتی ہے
بھول نہ جانا جب تم ننھے منے سے تھے اور نہانے سے چڑتے تھے
تم کو نہلانے کی خاطر
چڑیا گھر لے جانے میں تم سے وعدہ کرتی تھی
کیسے کیسے حیلوں سے تم کو آمادہ کرتی تھی
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
گر میں جلدی سمجھ نہ پاؤں،وقت سے کچھ پیچھے رہ جاؤں
مجھ پر حیرت سے مت ہنسنا،اور کوئی فقرہ نہ کسنا
مجھ کو کچھ مہلت دے دینا شائد میں کچھ سیکھ سکوں
بھول نہ جانا
میں نے برسوں محنت کر کے تم کو کیا کیا سکھلایا تھا
کھانا پینا،چلنا پھرنا،ملنا جلنا،لکھنا پڑھنا
اور آنکھوں میں آنکھیں ڈال کے اس دنیا کی ،آگے بڑھنا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
میری کھانسی سُن کر گر تم سوتے سوتے جاگ اٹھوتو
مجھ کو تم جھڑکی نہ دینا
یہ نہ کہنا،جانے دن بھر کیا کیا کھاتی رہتی ہیں
اور راتوں کو کُھوں کھوں کر کے شور مچاتی رہتی ہیں
بھول نہ جانامیں نے کتنی لمبی راتیں
تم کو اپنی گود میں لے کر ٹہل ٹہل کر کاٹی ہیں
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
گر میں کھانا نہ کھاؤں تو تم مجھ کو مجبور نہ کرنا

جس شے کو جی چاہے میرا اس کو مجھ سے دور نہ کرنا
پرہیزوں کی آڑ میں ہر پل میرا دل رنجور نہ کرنا
کس کا فرض ہے مجھ کو رکھنا
اس بارے میں اک دوجے سے بحث نہ کرنا
آپس میں بے کار نہ لڑنا
جس کو کچھ مجبوری ہو اس بھائی پر الزام نہ دھرنا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
گر میں اک دن کہہ دوں عرشیؔ ، اب جینے کی چاہ نہیں ہے
یونہی بوجھ بنی بیٹھی ہوں ،کوئی بھی ہمراہ نہیں ہے
تم مجھ پر ناراض نہ ہونا
جیون کا یہ راز سمجھنا
برسوں جیتے جیتے آخر ایسے دن بھی آ جاتے ہیں
جب جیون کی روح تو رخصت ہو جاتی ہے
سانس کی ڈوری رہ جاتی ہے
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
شائد کل تم جان سکو گے ،اس ماں کو پہچان سکو گے
گر چہ جیون کی اس دوڑ میں ،میں نے سب کچھ ہار دیا ہے
لیکن ،میرے دامن میں جو کچھ تھا تم پر وار دیا ہے
تم کو سچا پیار دیا ہے
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
جب میں مر جاؤں تو مجھ کو
میرے پیارے رب کی جانب چپکے سے سرکا دینا
ا ور ،دعا کی خاطر ہاتھ اُٹھا دینا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

میرے پیارے رب سے کہنا،رحم ہماری ماں پر کر دے
جیسے اس نے بچپن میں ہم کمزوروں پر رحم کیا تھا
بھول نہ جانا،میرے بچو
جب تک مجھ میں جان تھی باقی
خون رگوں میں دوڑ رہا تھا
دل سینے میں دھڑک رہا تھا
خیر تمہاری مانگی میں نے
میرا ہر اک سانس دعا تھا

JP 17کروڑعوام کو عید کی خوشیاں مبارک

17کروڑعوام کو عید کی خوشیاں مبارک
شمشیرحق۔۔محمد وجیہہ السماء
نوٹ (یہ کالم عید کے خصوصی ایڈیشن کے لئے لکھا گیا ہے اسے پلیز اس میں ہی جگہ دی جائے شکریہ )
سیلاب کی دکھ بھری داستان ابھی ختم نہیں ہو ئی اور نہ ہی سیلاب جیسی قدرتی آفت نے پاکستان کا پیچھا چھوڑا ہے یارب یہ کیسا انصاف ہے ایک طرف تیرے بندے تیرے بندوں پر ظلم و ستم کی داستانیں رقم کر رہے ہیں تو دوسری طرف سیلاب نیزیادہ تر لوگوں کو متا ثر کیا ہے لیکن جب یہ دیکھا کہ پورے پاکستان سمیت دنیا بھر سے لوگ تیرے بندوں کی مدد کو پہنچ گئے اور جو نہ پہنچ سکے انہوں نے مدد پہنچا کر اپنا فر ض ادا کر دیا۔ تو دل کو بہت خوشی ذہنی سکون محسوس ہوا۔
اور کرتے بھی کیو ں نہ تجھے اور تیرے بندوں کو یہ پا ک سرزمین کتنی پیاری ہے کیو نکہ یہ پاک سرزمین اور ملک نہ صرف اسلام بلکہ مسلمانوں کا قلعہ کی حیثیت رکھتا ہے جو سینکڑوں نہیں ہزاروں قربا نیاں دے کر حا صل کیا گیا ہے اور اس کے معرض وجود میں آ نے کا مہینہ رمضان المبارک کا مہینہ تھا اور تو نے سیلاب جیسی قدرتی آفت پا کستان میں بھیج کر ہم پر احسان عظیم فرمایا ۔ اور ہم اور ہماری نوجوان نسل نے بے گھر ہو تے ہو ئے اور بے سروسامانی کی حالت اور نیلے آسمان تلے بیٹھے بھو کے ننگے افراد کو دیکھا اور 1947ء کی یاد تازہ ہو گئی
لوگوں نے قیام پاکستان کے منظر کو متعدد مرتبہ میڈیا پر ڈرامہ، فلم، اور سٹیج کی صورت میں دیکھا لیکن ہم بھول گئے اور تو نے ہمیں اپنا بھو لا ہوا سبق یاد کروا دیا
فرق صرف اتنا ہے۔ کہ اس وقت بننے والے دفا تر خیموں میں تھے جب کہ اب نئی نو یلی بلندوبالا عمارتوں میں ہیں اس وقت حکمرانوں کے دل موم ہو ا کر تے تھے جب کہ اب پتھروں میں رہنے والوں کے دل پتھر کے ہو چکے ہیں جنھیں عوام تو دور کی بات سیلاب زدگان کے آنسو بھی دیکھا ئی نہیں دے رہے
ڈر ہے ہمیں پاکستا ن کے نادان دوستوں کا۔ جو اس وقت امداد کی بجا ئے سیلاب زدگا ن کی مدد کے لئے قر ضہ لے رہے ہیں جو پاکستان کو مزید نقصان پہنچا نے میں کو ئی کسر با قی نہیں چھو ڑ رہے۔ عوام کی خدمت کی �آڑ میں دشمن جو پہلے سے ہی متعدد بار نقشوں میں پا کستان کو بھارت کا حصہ دیکھا چکے ہیں اور اس مرتبہ بھی پاکستان کے دشمنوں نے پاکستان کے نادان حکمرانوں کے ہا تھو ں اسے مزید مشکل میں ڈال دیاہے۔
اے خدا!ہم اس ماہِ مبارک رمضان المبارک میں تجھ سے دعا ئیں کرتے ہیں اور تیرے ڈر سے سیلاب زدگان کی مدد میں دن رات ایک کیئے ہو ئے ہیں اے اﷲ تو بے نیاز ہے تیرے خزانوں میں کو ئی کمی نہیں تو ہی سیلاب زدگان سمیت پورے پا کستان کی حفا ظت فرما ۔ اور اس کی پا ک فوج کے جوانوں کے ہو تے ہو ئے اور تیری مدد شا مل حال ہو تے ہو ئے اسے بیرونی دشمنوں کا کو ئی ڈر نہیں ۔الٰہی تو پاکستان کو اس کے اندونی دشمنوں سے بچا جو آ ئے روز تیرے بندوں پر مصیبتوں اور مشکلات کے جا ل بچھا رہے ہیں
الٰہی ہمیں اپنی غلطیوں کا احساس ہے اور ہم تجھ سے سچے دل سے معا فی ما نگتے ہیں۔ ہمیں معاف فرما
الٰہی پاکستان کو خدانخواستہ ختم کر نے والوں کو تو تہس نہس کر دے تا کہ اس کی خوشیاں، رو شنیوں ، امن، سلامتی واپس آ جا ئے اور اس کی خو شحالی میں اضا فہ ہو ۔اور اس کی مشکلات میں گھری ہو ئی عوام خوش ہو ۔یہاں خوشیاں دوبارہ اپنا ڈیرہ جما لیں ۔ یہاں شہروں میں لوگ دوبارہ سے کمیو نٹی سینٹروں میں مذاکرات، سیمینار اور مذہبی تہوار پورے جو ش و جذبے سے منا ئیں اس کے دیہا توں میں رہنے والوں کا حقہ دوبارہ گرم ہو پیپل کی چھا ؤں ہو اور دیسی گھی، مکھن کے پراٹھے دو بارہ بڑے اہتمام کے ساتھ کھا ئے جا ئیں ۔ یہاں شادی و بیاہ و دیگر تقریبات پر دوبارہ چرا غاں ہو یہاں چا ند رات واقعی چا ند رات ہو جہاں سارے لوگ مل کر خریداری کر رہے ہوں ہر طرف خو شیاں ہی خوشیاں ہوں ۔ہر طرف امن ہی امن ہو۔
جہاں عید سے قبل ''عید کارڈ'' دوبا رہ بھیجیں جا ئیں۔جن میں لوگ خو شیوں کے پیغام ایک دو سرے کو بھیجیں ہر کوئی ایک دوسرے کو سچے دل سے گلے سے لگاکر عید کی مبا رک باد دے۔لیکن یہ تب ہی ممکن ہے جب ہمارے حکمران اپنے لئے ایسے وزراء کا انتخاب کر یں گے جیسے محمود نے ایاز کو منتخب کیا تھا۔ ہمارے حکمرانوں کو ایسے ملازم رکھنے ہو ں گے جیسے صدر ایوب نے گورنر امیر خاں آ ف کالا با غ رکھا تھا۔
ہمارے حکمرانوں کو ایسے سیا ستدان رکھنے ہو نگے جیسے سا بق صدر پرویز مشرف نے مسلم لیگ ق کے رکھے تھے جنہوں نے ملکی تا ریخ میں ریکاڈر ترقیاتی کا م کروائے جنہوں نے میڈیا کو پروان چڑھایا ۔جنہوں نے ہا ئر ایجو کیشن قا ئم کیا جنہوں نے علماء اکرام کو اکٹھاکیا جنہوں نے ککھ پتیوں کو لکھ پتی بنا یا ۔ جنہوں نے انفارمیشن ٹیکنا لوجی کو دنیا بھر کے ممالک سے تیز ترین ترقی کر نے والوں کی صف میں کھڑا کیا۔ شا ید ہمارے حکمران تنقید برائے تنقید کے محاورے کی بجا ئے ''تنقید برائے اصلاح '' کے محاورے پر متفق ہو جا ئیں
یہی پاکستان کے لئے خوشیوں کا پیغام ہو گا اور یہی 17کروڑ عوام کی عید ہو گی جسے منانے میں سادگی نہیں بلکہ خو شیاں ہی خو شیاں اور عید مبا رک کے پیغامات ہو نگے اﷲ تعا لیٰ وہ وقت جلد ہمیں عطا فرما نا۔ (آمین)
قا رنئین کو راقم کی جا نب سے عید کی بہت بہت مبا رک ہو ۔ اور اس عید پر اپنے ان دکھی ، بے سہارا بہن بھا ئیوں کا بھی خیال رکھیں جو اس وقت سیلاب کی وجہ سے مشکلا ت کے بھنور میں مبتلا ہیں ان کی زیادہ سے زیادہ اور دل کھول کر مدد کریں۔ شکری
