A short class debate on the ethics of the death penalty

This is a comparison between the policies and ideology of Reagan's 1964 speech at the GOP Convention in support of Barry Goldwater and statements made by Ron Paul throughout the primary campaign for the GOP nomination in the 2008 election. The comparison includes policy beliefs on taxation, inflation, social security, foreign policy, and Constitutionalism. This video was produced by James Parker, Hallie Martin, and Mike Church in Blackhat Studios for MikeChurch.com. Please search our user videos for more material and visit MikeChurch.com for updates. Introduction from Mike Church - This movie was a collaborative effort between the Rev. X and me. The goal was simple: ALL Republicans profess to crave, no covet! a new Gipper as the Party's nominee. It should go without saying that said nominee should actually BELIEVE in Reagan's core beliefs and his guiding principles... to read the rest of Mike's introduction go to http://www.mikechurch.com

From http://vote2008.thetakeaway.org/ Across the Mississippi river from St. Paul, supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas, converged on the Target Center in Minneapolis at Tuesday night's "Rally for the Republic." Paul's bid for the Republican nomination for president ended months ago, and in a sign that there's ire at the GOP, the agitator Paul wasn't invited to speak at this year's Republican National Convention. No matter. Paul's supporters' enthusiasm remains strong for his anti-war, strict Constitutionalism views. Last night I spoke with many of them, young and old, to find out just what Paul had done to endear himself to so many and what he's promised that John McCain and Barack Obama have not.

Still Don't believe he'd be a perfect fit? Check out Jesse's average joe, yet seasoned military veteran and polished government official understanding of foreign policy and constitutionalism. I think that with Jesse Ventura as Ron Pauls secretary of Defense and ballsy spokesperson, people would be too afraid to be so rude to Ron Paul and ignore him. This would be the perfect fit, like the Odd Couple. I'd expect Jesse's addition would double our numbers and gaurantee us the state of Minnesota and Texas.

ReciteOfKoran.8m.net The Author of the Risale-i Nur Bediuzzaman Said Nursi This, the first full-length biography of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi to appear in English, answers in satisfying fashion a need so far unmet. Drawing largely on Bediuzzaman's own works and the accounts of those who either knew or met him, it describes the life, works, and struggle in the cause of Islam of this one the most important thinkers and servants of the Qur'an to emerge in the Islamic world this century. Also giving outlines of historical events, the work sets Bediuzzaman's ideas and activities in an historical context. It describes the enterprising and scholarly endeavours of Bediuzzaman's youth in the cause of the Ottoman Empire, particularly in the areas of education, constitutionalism, and Islamic Unity. And in the Second Part, traces both Bediuzzaman's silent struggle through his collection of written works, the Qur'anic commentary known as the Risale-i Nur, against the irreligion that was officially propagated in the first decades of the Turkish Republic, and the growth of the Risale-i Nur movement. This scrupulous biography, which considers all these subjects in detail, will contribute significantly to making better known to readers of English this major figure of modern Islam, and the movement he founded for the renewal of belief . PART ONE - The Old Said Chapter One - Childhood and Youth Chapter Two - Istanbul before Freedom Chapter Three - Freedom and Constitutionalism Chapter Four - Bediuzzaman and the Thirty-First of March Incident Chapter Five - "The Future shall be Islam's, and Islam's alone" Chapter Six - Service in Balkans, and in the 'Special Organization' Chapter Seven - War and Captivity Chapter Eight - Return and Appointment to the Daru'l-Hikmeti'l-Islamiye Chapter Nine - Supremacy of the Qur'an and Birth of the New Said Chapter Ten - Opposition to the British and Move to Ankara PART TWO - The New Said Chapter One - Van Chapter Two - Barla Chapter Three - Eskisehir Chapter Four - Kastamonu Chapter Five - Denizli Chapter Six - Emirdag Chapter Seven - Afyon PART THREE - The Third Said CONCLUSION http://ReciteOfKoran.8m.net

--previously uploaded by FornostSeer-- A video that was removed by YouTube Earlier... Why it offends the powers that be is anyone's guess. Could it be they are afraid of what people will think after seeing it? Is it really so bad to look back at those that came before us and listen to the wisdom that they were saluted for? Remember, "A Man who fails to learn from his past is doomed to repeat it."

Stephen Holmes Walter E. Meyer Professor of Law Web Profile New York University School of Law 40 Washington Square South, 506 New York, NY 10012 Telephone: (212) 998-6357 Facsimile: (212) 995-3662 E-mail: stephen.holmes@nyu.edu After receiving his Ph.D. from Yale in 1976, Holmes taught briefly at Yale and Wesleyan Universities before becoming a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1978. From Princeton, he moved to Harvard University's Department of Government, where he stayed until 1985, the year he joined the faculty at the University of Chicago. At the University of Chicago, Professor Stephen Holmes served as Director of the Center for the Study of Constitutionalism in Eastern Europe and as editor-in-chief of the East European Constitutional Review. He has also been the Director of the Soros Foundation program for promoting legal reform in Russia and Eastern Europe. Holmes' research centers on the history of European liberalism and the disappointments of democracy and economic liberalization after communism. In 1984, he published Benjamin Constant and the Making of Modern Liberalism. Since then, he has published a number of articles on democratic and constitutional theory as well as on the theoretical origins of the welfare state. In 1988, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to complete a study of the theoretical foundations of liberal democracy. He was a member of the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin during the 1991 academic year. His Anatomy of Antiliberalism appeared in 1993. And in 1995, he published Passions and Constraint: The Theory of Liberal Democracy; in this work, Holmes presents a spirited vindication of classical liberalism and its notions of constitutional government. He coauthored, with Cass Sunstein, a book on The Cost of Rights (Norton, 1998).

The European Union is socialist in origin and in policies and offends libertartian belief of free trade. The EU further erodes national sovereignty which offends Constitutionalism, a principle of Libertarianism.

Ron Paul may not be de facto in the race anymore, but his supporters are still fighting for the cause. Ron Paul was the real beginning and NOT the end of fighting for libertarianism in mainstream politics.

We've reached critical mass in our support of Ron Paul Republican Constitutionalism. We are now almost fully awakened. What do you think the people would do if Ron Paul was, inexplicably to lose, even though it's obvious he has the REAL measure of majority support, where the internet is not the only gauge of his success? An open question. hope to get some get input. Please, no threats or anything. You'll only hurt his campaign and I don't want Glenn Beck calling for my arrest. So keep it clean, intelligent arguments, I in no way support violence.

What is a conservative philosophy of government? Today, the Republican Party has been overrun with neoconservatives, who are not genuine, traditional conservatives (paleoconservatives) at all. In this video series, I compare how conservatism and neoconservatism handle different issues. I am not suggesting that my 'what a conservative would do' descriptions are the final arbiters of what a conservative is and how they all act, but I do find my presentation to be a general philosophy of classical Constitutional conservatism. Secondly, I also speak specifically to my fellow Christian conservatives about a Biblical philosophy of government. The early twentieth century author Sinclair Lewis allegedly said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." ( see the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. page at http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Sinclair_Lewis accessed 3 Nov. 2008. Last updated 11 Feb. 2007. ) While Lewis may have meant this to be a partial attack on the Gospel, I think we can take his observation and apply it to neoconservatism. Neoconservatives pitch themselves as being the 'Christian' choice, combined with frightening nationalism. Its the old 'Manifest Destiny: God has ordained us to carry out this great government mission' routine. I think not, and explain why. I have left the Republican Party and joined the Constitution Party, and I suggest any and all conservatives examine the Constitution Party to see if perhaps you should do the same. Even though it's not my personal choice, some may even want to check out the Libertarian Party (which is actually very similar to the Constitution Party on most issues). The time has come for the conservative movement to restore Constitutionalism to our government, and that means rejecting the Republican Party's false version of conservatism.

My question for Ron Paul: since you are a strict constitutionalist and a small government conservative, how are you planning to attract voters from both ends of the political spectrum?

Ron maybe pro-life personally, but so is Hilary Clinton! Ron Paul if elected President wouldn't illegalise abortion, he would let the people decide at the State level instead of the Federal. There is further no evidence to suggest that his policies are homophobic; he believes Marriage is not a Constitutional issue, let the States decide! Ron Paul is a great supporter of Friedrich Hayek and has a picture of him in his office. Hayek wrote an essay, 'Why I Am Not A Conservative'; it criticises Conservatism's inability to adapt to changing realities or to offer a positive programme. Ron Paul is not ideologically a Conservative; there is a big difference from calling yourself a Conservative with a capital "C", and conservative with a small "c" which in his case supports America's Constitutional heritage. America has increased the size of government, intervenes in foreign affairs and fuses religion and state in a de facto way. The meaning therefore signifies that the current status quo has gone off course and we need to go back the constitution! "right wing" and "left wing" are dead! The terms are now meaningless! It is pat of the old paradigm, for politics in practice to step in line with the paradigm shift, elect Ron Paul!

Libertarians are not anarchists but constitutionalists so we believe the state is necessary. One necessity is the administration of justice which the police are apart of.

Are you listening to me? "...meddlesome, mad, extravagant city." We all like and breathe Walt Whitman, this IS Walt Whitman's America. If Walt Whitman was alive today, they'd be coming down hard on him. "Resist much, obey little." This is America, we're free right?
