Restore The Nation (.org)

This letter, although published online, is hereby addressed to US Congressmen and Senators.

I dare not use the euphemism “My Fellow Americans”, for albeit you carry passports, you have betrayed this great Nation. Our Constitution was designed to protect the Citizenry from the Government. It has now become the opposite. The Revolution was incited by this sort of governance.

You might ask how we have been betrayed? Simple. Our currency has collapsed, our jobs outsourced, our rights to bear arms infringed, and for certain our justice system has been diminished. It was diminished by you, when you refuse to vote on judicial nominations for the 6th Circuit; you must think pretty highly of yourselves to refuse the people of Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Michigan a properly functioning Court. Indeed, partisan politics and ideology have ruined your common sense.

You have betrayed us by expanding the government beyond reasonable means, and taxing us to support it. It seems as if there is a competition to write more names on the list of government agencies every year. There are a few among you who still stand for justice, for liberty, and for peace. The Good Congressman among you, Dr. Ron Paul, stated in a presidential debate, ““We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, and over-regulated, and over-run by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with.” Most of you snickered, as your public-interest money comes pouring into your campaigns.

Senator Obama said “I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.”  Are you certain about that?  “Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes,” said Benjamin Franklin. Senator Obama, sir, are the epitome of bad government and bad politics. 

Obama would increase taxes across the board, increase spending, and continue our Nation down the primrose path. McCain wants to lower taxes and increase the difficulty it would take to raise them. However, he supports a Balanced Budget Amendment. That means he would be forced to cut government spending. Perhaps he is fit for the Presidency. Perhaps we need McCain. Senators, Congressmen, I charge you this— whomever becomes president next, do not play games with judges. However, you must keep government spending under control. You have been acting like a child with an unlimited allowance— spoiled and selfish, and nobody likes you.

All these debates are frivolous. There are two options at this point:

1. Round up all the illegal immigrants any anyone who supports them, and drive them en masse to the border and drop them off. That is, after a wall was constructed and underground monitoring has become implemented. This is not plausible. First of all, we cannot find illegal immigrants that easily. Second of all, we do not have the manpower to apprehend them. Thirdly, we do not have the money for bus gas money to get them to the border, along with medical aid and food supplies in order to be civil when deporting them.

2. Streamline the immigration process and welcome the Spanish language into the public sphere, welcome the Spanish translation of the Constitution, and protect the border from terrorist groups and criminals. If there is a good immigration policy, anyone crossing the border illegally should be seen as hostile invaders. That means the National Guard can actually be used to guard our Nation.

Any child born on US soil is a US citizen. There are 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. If illegal immigrants marry other illegal immigrants, there are 6 million families. According to the demographic statistics, the average Non-White Hispanic family has 2.8 children. That means the next generation will result in 16,800,000 new US citizens. If they begin voting at any substantial number about the immigration policy, the borders open completely. There is nothing to stop this, and so Americans need to quit being so xenoglossophobic (scared of foreign languages), and say ¡Bienvenido! (Welcome!)

The numbers regarding the 16,800,000 new Non-White Hispanic citizens do not include those who will be born to legal citizens of the United States. White America and English-Speaking America is gone. It’s over. Right now, it is just a matter of time. Most Americans will live to see this time. Conservatives have alienated Latinos (no pun intended), and the Liberals have patronized them.

This is the message that a lot of Americans do not want to hear: the Nation of Immigrants is no longer European. We need to accept it, and move on. Gracias para hoy leyendo mi blog.

(Back by popular demand. I received e-mails asking me to repost this. Here it is.)

Kosovo declared its independence. Surely, this is a victory for NATO, the EU, and the United States of America. Or is it?

Bill Clinton in the 1990’s decided to join the legions of NATO to invade the Balkans. This was nothing more than a ploy to turn the media’s attention away from Monica Lewinsky. Serbia had always been a Christian nation. The Albanians moved in, and declared Kosovo in the name of Islam. Both sides committed horrendous atrocities, so we had a choice: side with Mohammad or side with Christ. We chose Mohammad.

Once again, we will face the question as to whether or not we will send troops to support the Albanians.

The European Union, the United Nations, and the United States all supported the independence of Kosovo. Does that make it right? Does it make it right that America seceded from Britain? Does that justify the Aztlan movement, which wants to secede the Southwest from America? What if the EU, the UN, and NATO supported that, too?

America has chosen the wrong side, and now there is no remedy. Russia, the traditional nemesis of the West, finally got it right. Should the Confederate States of America be our southern neighbor instead of Mexico? If Serbia choses to defend herself from splintering into even more factions than it already has, that is her right. America did the same.

A fundamental question was asked in the comments of the previous post. Why do humans have Rights? I would like to take this moment to cite a document that is very precious to me— the Declaration of Independence. 

“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.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The Creator gave us Rights. Simply put, without God, there are ro Rights. We were made in His image, not physically, but rather that we are living, rational beings with souls. No animal is rational, no animal has a soul. The point is, human rights are a gift endowed upon us.

So what’s the problem? I can’t make this argument in a court of law. Although technically the establishment clause of the first amendment meant nothing of the sort, since simply saying man was made in God’s image does not establish Christianity by any stretch of the imagination. Anyway, I understand we live in a relativistic culture now; but that doesn’t make it right.

There is a culture war going on, and everyone has to take one side or another. This Nation used to have Deists who were fine with this statement. Now, there are radical atheists who get all huffy about it. I am an originalist and a strict constructionist. If you read the text of the Declaration of Independence, and try to figure out what the meaning was, it is exactly what I have said: God gave us human rights. 

I agree.

Libertarian philosophy is one of self-governance and non-coercion. Many will say that the federal government should stay out of personal matters, which includes the private choice of whether or not to have an abortion. In fact, it does not. Scientifically, there can be no way to say that life starts at a time other than conception. If life has begun, it is a human being. Philosophically, a human being can be defined in a myriad of different ways. However, if it is not a human, what is it? An embryo? Oh wait, it’s a human embryo. 

A human is a human, preborn or not. I prefer the term preborn to unborn for a simple linguistic reason. Pre means before and un means that there is an absence of a quality or state. A child will be born, and the harsh reality is that it will be born alive or born in the tragic circumstance of an untimely death. Birth will happen. Pre is the proper term, and gives a proper nuance that it is indeed a human.

If an embryo or fetus is a human, then the action of an abortion is inherently incompatible with libertarian philosophy. I remind you that libertarianism is nonviolent: meaning that people have a right to govern themselves, but the second they mess with another person, the government will mess with them. Libertarianism demands the government reduces criminal law to that which affects another human being. If that was the case, then abortion would be outlawed.

I told you how a pro-life libertarianism works, but why does it matter? There are two prongs, and they are quite simple. The first is that not only is it logically consistent, but it is appealing to most conservatives. The GOP has essentially abandoned the pro-life fight. John McCain supports the destruction of human embryos in the name of science. However, in the current election, I urge Libertarians to vote for McCain. Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root are not going to win, nor are they going to make a statement. This is between McCain and either Obama or Hillary. Judicial nominations are on the line, and a quasi-conservative is the best choice for now. Anyway, that was a long tangent. Anyway, the Republican party is losing its base support, and therefore is almost finished as a party. An appealing alternative could come to replace it in the coming years. The Republican base is left wondering where their party went. A pro-life Libertarian party would answer that question.

The second prong is that it will improve the Republican party. When Libertarians begin offering a logical alternative, the Republican Party will be forced to improve in order to survive. This is the free market at its best. John McCain would not have a snowball’s chance in Hell if Ron Paul ran as a Libertarian. That is not to say that Ron Paul would win— he wouldn’t. The Democrats would. As the pressure mounts, the Republican party would begin re-adopting its own values— a free market, a free press, and nonviolence— from war to abortion. Republicans would then finally elect electable candidates.

A pro-life libertarianism works, and matters. It matters for the sake of being logically consistent, for bringing the party into a prominent position, and remolding the Republican Party into a like-able option. 

Good day, and welcome to RestoreTheNation.org,

My previous writings have been deleted, but the blog will continue. I deleted them because the nature of this site is about to change, and I wanted no remanence of the past.

The blog was considered paleoconservative, and by all means should actually be labelled as classical liberal. For those of you who have not heard of the term before, a classical liberal is not left-wing marxist by any stretch of the imagination. The Radical Left seen in the persons of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is not classical liberalism, also known is libertarianism. Libertarians believe in individual liberty, American sovereignty, the free market, free press, and nonviolence. The principle is simple: you mess with someone else, the government will mess with you. Otherwise, the government is not involved in your life.

The paleoconservative leanings of this blog do not interfere with any such notions of liberty. The paleoconservatives are not the big-government, preemptive war supporting neocons like John McCain, who will not stand up for the right to life, will sell out American sovereignty through supranational organizations and worthless treaties. 

On occasion, this blog will discuss Catholic social teaching. It is my belief, which I incorporate into my politics. It is surprisingly compatible with classical liberal and paleoconservative thought. Some paleoconservative and libertarian Catholics include William F. Buckley, Russell Kirk, Pat Buchanan, and Paul Gottfried.

As a supporter of the Cato Institute, both the Libertarian and Republican parties, the free market, the free press, and the basic notions of liberty our great country was founded on, I am speaking out for the need to restore our freedom, and restore the nation.
