The Tennessee Sons of Liberty is an ideal that the common man, who is fair minded and of good nature, can make a positive change in today's climate of fear mongering, out of control government spending, and the march of America to Socialism. TN Sons of Liberty believe both parties are corrupt. I envision this to be a site of facts, encouragement, and opinions about truth, liberty, and our Constitutional Rights.
"The usual terminology of political language is stupid. What is 'left' and what is 'right'? Why should Hitler be 'right' and Stalin, his temporary friend, be 'left'? Who is 'reactionary' and who is 'progressive'? Reaction against an unwise policy is not to be condemned. And progress towards chaos is not to be commended. Nothing should find acceptance just because it is new, radical, and fashionable. 'Orthodoxy' is not an evil if the doctrine on which the 'orthodox' stand is sound. Who is anti-labor, those who want to lower labor to the Russian level, or those who want for labor the capitalistic standard of the United States? Who is 'nationalist,' those who want to bring their nation under the heel of the Nazis, or those who want to preserve its independence?"
"Matt Collins is no longer a member of the Davidson County GOP’s executive committee."
"Immediately following the closed door executive session hearing Collins made the following statement:
“It is unfortunate the DCRP has chosen this destructive and divisive path booting members for standing up for principle and the Constitution.
It should be noted that I have broken no bylaws (even Chairman Starnes has admitted this) and this was a personal vindictive move by some in the DCRP and the TNGOP to remove me because they did not want their fellow Republicans such as Rep Zigzag Zach Wamp, Mayor “Ban’em” Bill Haslam, Senator “Large Government” Lamar Alexander, and Senator “Bailout Bob” Corker held accountable.
Every effort was made by myself to reach a mutual understanding, however Chairman Starnes refused to work with me in the closed door session. This Soviet style purge will result in the further alienation of the grassroots activists not only in Nashville but across the country as it is becoming more and more apparent that the GOP is a Party of exclusion.”"
Here are some suggestions from the common man with no fancy Political Science Major..just common sense..
I suppose true reform could occur within the Republican Party but only if there were some sort of bylaw written that:
1. Barred members from joining elitist groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, etc.
2. Take an oath to uphold and interpret the Constitution in the tradition of our Founding Fathers with respect to the Sovereignty and Independence of America, a Decentralized Federal Govt, the abolishment of Central Banking, and the return to sound monetary policy with a gold standard to prevent hyperinflation from taxing those who have dutifully saved paper fiat money not knowing that gold is a wedge against artificially induced hyperinflation through manipulations by the Federal Reserve.
3. All bills and proposed legislation must be completely and thoroughly read prior to voting on it..
4. Some sort of 'three strikes your out' rule, whereas repeated votes which contradict standard American Values or that violate our Civil Liberties (such as the Patriot Act) would cause you to be removed from you elected position.
"Politico.com has noted that “the GOP establishment has lined up behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson.” Perhaps Grayson is favored by the Washington Republican establishment because Grayson’s campaign website is bereft of mention of bringing the federal government back within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution. By way of contrast, Rand Paul has made the Constitution a centerpiece of his campaign. “The Federal Government must return to its constitutionally enumerated powers and restore our inalienable rights,” the younger Dr. Paul says on his campaign website, in an echo of his father’s principles. “America can prosper, preserve personal liberty, and repel national security threats without intruding into the personal lives of its citizens.”"
The New American Magazine is an excellent way to stay up to date on Washington Politics, Impending Legislation that could rob you of your civil liberties, and history lessons that echo the same problems we are facing today as a nation.
I encourage you to join the John Birch Society to be really informed or just subscribe to their magazine:
'Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich warned an audience at the College of the Ozarks in Missouri that the election of 2012 would see a strong third-party movement unless the GOP “shapes up,” and ceases to be the “right wing party of big government.”'
What would be so bad about a Third Party winning in 2012?
What are Politicians afraid of? Why do they put 'The Party' before 'Principles'?
They are afraid their pocketbooks and wallets will be empty. If the Two Party Paradigm is fully exposed, then they will be out of a job.
How will they fund their extravagant lifestyles without Endless Wars and money from lobbyists? The special interest groups will have no power to bribe or shape legislation because it is my hope that America will awaken and elect leaders with moral conviction. Andrew Jackson, minus the murder of Innocent American Indians, Ron Paul, and Thomas Jefferson minus the affairs and slavery would all be great Presidents/Candidates to model yourself after and hope for in 2012.
Check out the Alternative Media film 'The Real Newt Gingrich' to see how Gingrich is just a empty suited mouthpiece with the Puppet master Council of Foreign Relations pulling his strings:
"Democrats and Republicans are two factions of the Same Party" - Noam Chomsky
House Minority Leader John Boehner:
"We are in the middle I think of a political rebellion going on in America and this rebellion are by people who really have not been actively involved in the political process and they don’t really care whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican they want to see people who are going to stand up and protect the future for our kids and grandkids," Boehner said. "It's going to be a difficult road to walk with these relatively new entrants into the political system and work with them to show them that by and large we are the party that represents their interest."
"I'm a big believer in Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment: Never talk ill about another Republican," Boehner said.
Mr. Boehner represents exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party. I don't think a Politician has ever been more transparent or revealing in reference to the above two quotes.
There is a political rebellion occurring in America right now. This is evidenced by Ron Paul's continued popularity and recent increased financial support of Third Party Candidates or Constitutional Conservatives such as Rand Paul..
We don't care what title you place before your name. We know the Federal Government is corrupt to the core. We know our American Dollar will crash and Hyperinflation is inevitable. We know that Endless War is immoral and we are tired of sending our sons and daughters to die in a foreign country we have no business being in. We are tired of being taxed to simply have our money used to BAILOUT private companies such as AIG, GM, BANK OF AMERICA, ETC.
The 11th Commandment quote is what shatters my trust in the Republican Party and makes me reluctant to have faith in a Two Party System. There must be transparency and accountability in any relationship. If the Elected Officials of the Republican Party who supposedly represent Limited Government, Conservative Values, and Lower Taxes then why is it frowned upon to research and confront politicians who betray the common people they represent?!?
If the Republican Party would like to succeed and regain their credibility they should return to the principles espoused by our Founding Fathers and Ron Paul. Instead they support Endless Wars, encourage the destruction of American Sovereignty through their reluctance to secure our borders and increased push/legislation for NAFTA, and join the same strange/elusive/secretive groups as the Democrats such as : Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group.
What is a Conservative American to do? Both the Democrat and Republican Party promise change but they continue each other policies. Ole George W. snuck in a revised Patriot Act at three in morning and since then we have seen the Federal Government grow exponentially. We have also seen our civil liberties shrink and our Constitution threatened by both parties. Obama, who is promoted as a Savior by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc., promised change and hope but continued to approve unmanned drone bombings in Pakistan killing innocent human beings and destroying villages and homes, continued the Wars he said he would end, and continued Bush's declaration of War on the American Middle Class by increasing TARP funding and more bailouts for all of his campaign contributors.
If you believe in the Constitution and a sense of moral decency you must vote for principle not party. I search for Objective Truth in all aspects of history, politics, religion, and fiscal policy. This has lead me to Ron Paul and his Campaign for Liberty. I am not setting him up as a Savior. He is a normal fallible man like you and I. Yet, he is the exception in Washington. Watch any of his Youtube videos or read his books. He has no secretive agenda. He does not belong to or support the United Nations, Council on Foreign Relations, or the Trilateral Commission.
What is so 'fringe' or 'radical' about Constitutional Rights, sound money backed up by a gold standard, and speaking the truth to your constituents and the citizens who elected you?!?
J. Fuller TNSONSOFLIBERTY.BLOGPSPOT.COM (I am not a Democrat..Obama, Clinton, and Gore have done a great job destroying the credibility of the Democratic Party...If labels are needed, then I consider myself a Conservative Libertarian, Ron Paul Republican, or a Constitutional Conservative) Ron Paul's "What if.." Speech:
Here are some old posts with more information on Two Party Corruption, the CFR, and Republicans failing to stand for conservative values and Constitutional Principles:
I was just sitting on the couch half listening to the Rachel Maddow show and some political expert was on talking about- Backing off Judge Sotomayor...Remaking the Republican Party to be more inclusive... Not being too aggressive with the Sotomayor comments so it doesn't offend the potential Hispanic Vote and hurt the Republican Party... (his words paraphrased) For God's sake! Have some balls, America! Say what you mean, and mean what you say! If you say it, don't back down and apologize and go to therapy...This is what's wrong with America! Have some backbone, stand up for what you believe, and who gives a shit if it offensive or politically correct!
And who gives a crap about the Republican Party! The PARTY!?! What about the American People! Let's focus on them, the hard working people who keep our society going...by showing up to work, paying taxes, taking their kid's to soccer practice, volunteering at schools or in the community...IF you haven't noticed by now..BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT...IT'S LIKE A TWO HEADED MONSTER...Mccain wouldn't have done any better...He wanted to tax people who actually had a healthcare plan..So let me get this straight..Mccain had the bright idea to tax people who were responsible and paid monthly for healthcare for their family...punish them for their success... and take the hardworking American people's money and reward failure...i.e. those who depend on the Federal Govt. to take care of them...

In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot -Mark Twain
"You do not become the dissident, just because you decide one day to take up this most unusual career, you were thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility combined with a complex set of external circumstances. You are cast out of the existing structures, and placed in a position of conflict with them. It begins as an attempt to do your work well, and ends up with you being branded as an enemy of society." -Vaclev Havel
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -Arthur Schopenhauer

"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent...to put shackles upon sleeping men. — Voltairine de Cleyre (1886-1912)

16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelations 13:16
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
Isaiah 42:3
Prayer of St. Francis: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The Lord's Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
"Whatever our failings may be, we need not lower our eyes in the presence of Jesus . . . we need not hide all that is ugly and repulsive in us. Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace . . . There they are. There we are – the multitude who so wanted to be faithful, who at times got defeated, soiled by life, and bested by trials, wearing the bloodied garments of life's tribulations, but through it all clung to the faith. " Brennan Manning "Ragamuffin Gospel"
"God loves us as we are, not as we should be, because no one is as he should be." "My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I've done nothing to earn it or deserve it." Brennan Manning
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12
"But I tell you: Love your enemiesi and pray for those who persecute you"
