Restore the Articles of Confederation Now!
The Articles of Confederation was the first central government of the United States established by our Patriot Founding Fathers following our independence from the British Empire. It was the government of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin etc. This decentralized form of limited government where the citizens, states, and local government jurisdictions were sovereign was far superior to the incompetent and inefficient Washington  monstrosity which rules over productive working Americans today.

Dixie Daily News -
Liberty Links in Alphabetical Order

2nd Vermont Republic - My friend Thomas Naylor and his movement for a free Vermont.

5th Ala Inf Regimental Band - I've heard them play and they will provide great music for your Southern themed event.

Acton Institute - Advances the study of liberty and religion by Lord Acton. He made the history of liberty his life's work; indeed, he considered political liberty the essential condition and guardian of religious liberty.

Advocates For Self-Government - A great libertarian website but getting a little dated without much new material. Oh well, websites like nations, movements and people grow and decline.


Alabama Division - A site for reenactors and reenactments of the Alabama Division concerning the War Between the States.

Alabama Libertarian Party - The official LP site for Alabama.

Alabama Republican Info - A good Alabama GOP site. The state party is conservative and we support their local efforts plus they link to Dixie Daily News.

Alliance Sep School & State - My old friend Marshall Fritz started this organization to separate public schools and the government because public education is a failure. Public schools formerly controlled by the local communities today are federalized beyond repair. Support this organization.

Amelia Clark Studio - An excellent source of  Southern prints and art and we highly recommend their services.

American Daily -  A good conservative web site worthy of your review and attention.


Anderson's Battery - A great re-enactor website on the War Between the States.

Ann Coulter - What can you say about Ann, you either love her or hate her.

AntiWar.Com - I read AntiWar.com every single morning after going through LewRockwell.com Justin Raimondo is one of my favorite writers and I'm surprised he is still with us after some of his revelations on the crooks in Washington.

Apologia Book Shoppe - They
offer excellent books and tapes defending and promoting the historic Christian faith and Reformed Covenantal Theology, as well as many excellent early American and Southern history, all from a Christian world-view.

Arkansas Division SCV - The state of Arkansas Sons of Confederate Veterans website.

Asia Times - My number one source for what is really going on in Asia. Let's face facts, Asia after a century of European colonialism is now coming into a new century with the work ethic, family and  culture intact.

Aw Shucks  - One of the unsung hero's of  Southern news movement over the years.

Sign the Ron Paul Is Right - Abolish the Federal Reserve Petition

March 18, 2008

Happy Birthday, John C. Calhoun

Posted by Thomas DiLorenzo at March 18, 2008 08:13 AM

John C. Calhoun, former vice president of the U.S., was born on this day (March 18) in 1782. In his book For a New Liberty (p. 58)Murray Rothbard called Calhoun "One of America's most brilliant political theorists" who "wrote prophetically of the inherent tendency of a State to break through the limits of its written constitution." You are not educated in American political theory and history unless you have read Calhoun's Disquisition on Government and his Discourse on the Government and Constitution of the United States. The Liberty Fund of Indianapolis has published both of these works, along with a dozen of Calhoun's speeches, in a book entitled Union and Liberty. The Essential Calhoun, edited by Clyde Wilson, is also an excellent resource.

Here's an excerpt from Calhoun's Disquisition on Government (pp. 25-27),originally published in 1850:

"A written constitution certainly has many and considerable advantages, but it is a great mistake to suppose that the mere insertion of provisions to restrict and limit the powers of the government, without investing those for whose protection they are inserted with the means of enforcing their observance, will be sufficient to prevent the major and dominant party from abusing its powers. Being the party in possession of the government, they will . . . have no need of these restrictions . . ."

The minor or weaker party on the contrary, would take the opposite direction and regard them as essential to their protection against the dominant party . . . . But where there are no means by which they could compel the major party to observe the restrictions, the only resort left them would be a strict construction of the constitution . . . . To this the major party would propose a liberal construction -- one which would give to the words of the grant the broadest meaning of which they were susceptible. It would then be construction against construction -- the one to contract and the other to enlarge the powers of the government to the utmost. But of what possible avail could the strict construction of the minor party be, against the liberal interpretation of the major, when the one would have all the powers of the government to carry its construction into effect and the other be deprived of all means of enforcing its construction? In a contest so unequal, the result would not be doubtful. The party in favor of the restrictions would be overpowered. The end of the contest would be the subversion of the constitution . . . the restrictions would ultimately be annulled and the government be converted into one of unlimited powers."

In addition to reading Calhoun, I recommend ignoring the lies about Calhoun that have been invented by Harry Jaffa and repeated by his fellow "Straussians" over the years. On several occassions I have asked Clyde Wilson, editor of the 28 volumes of Calhoun's Collected Works, about things the Straussians have said about Calhoun and Clyde's response has been "I never heard of that; it's untrue."

 

The Myth of Pearl Harbor - This is a must read article about the history of American wars and how presidents from Lincoln to Roosevelt manipulated events in a treasonous way and millions of Americans died for special economic interests. Of course, nothing like this has been done by the Bush Administration!!!!

Please Read and Forward The Death of American Empire by Patrick Foy To Everyone You Know!

http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_death_of_american_empire/

The “Death of the American Empire” is simply the best, concise, short history of America and of our horrific impact on the world stage and on what we have lost as a nation since Lincoln’s War, that I have ever read in my 57 years. Nothing can compare to this article in terms on enlightenment, or sadness at the well hidden history and failure of the greatest experiment in self-government and liberty in world history.  

For those of us who seek truth, love history and who bear the burden of living in a nation where false history, propaganda and unrighteous self-delusion surround everything we read and observe involving politics, the news and current events, Patrick Foy provides us a brief moment of sanity and sincere honesty about what we really have become. 

The first step on the road to recovery from a tragedy whether a serious addiction, the loss of a loved one or the sobering realization that we have made a tragic mistake with terrible consequences is to see ourselves and our actions as they really are.  I can’t quarrel with a single point in the article or the conclusions.  

It is time that we as Americans, take stock of our true situation, spread the word about where we are and how we got here hopefully in time to preserve our wealth and begin to restore our liberties so we can survive as a people as the empire crashes down around us.

I’ve found that when you realize that you’ve taken the wrong road, the best action is often to backtrack to the last sure landmark that you can remember. It is the same for our nation and I believe we should go back to our original limited government, the Articles of Confederation as established by our Patriot Founding Fathers.

 I will today, forward this article and URL to the thousands of people on the e-mail lists from my websites and I urge you to do the same to all of your friends who love liberty and seek to understand our real history and restore the failed legacy of our Founding Fathers.  In addition, I’ll add a link to it in my new online book, “The Swiss Preserve Solution” a new politically incorrect guide to defending your wealth & liberty from attack during the latter-days of the American Empire. More info on the free book can be found at  www.swissconfederationinstitute.org

Ron Paul Comes In Second in SC Post Debate Poll - The leadership of the GOP wants to keep Paul out of future debates and is trying to do so.  They can't allow a real American Patriot who actually tells the truth, understands history, believes in the Constitution and who wants to return to the original Republic of our Founding Fathers to disrupt the GOP Circus. We like Paul, Romney and Thompson but unless Hillary is caught in bed with another woman, or Bush resigns or is impeached, the Republican Party doesn't have a prayer in the 2008 election.

A word of warning to Congressman Ron Paul - get some private guard protection.  It is evident that here in the United States, politicians and leaders in general are free to say whatever they want (unless it starts to catch fire with the public). Then if it appears a groundswell of opinion begins to favor them or their views and this could even temporarily upset the political status quo in America, then they are either privately threatened or shot. Remember Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, George Wallace, the threat against Ross Perot's children and many others. Watch Your Back Ron Paul and may God watch over and protect you!

Ron Paul Wins World Net Daily Poll After Debate

Read THE SWISS PRESERVE SOLUTION - Ron Holland's politically incorrect guide to defending your wealth & liberty from threats during the latter-days of the American Empire.   Switzerland Switzerland is the best safe haven to preserve your wealth from the possible collapse of the dollar and subsequent fall in American investment markets. Ron suggests that only by a return to the limited republic of our patriotic founding fathers, like the Swiss political structure of decentralized confederation government, do we have any chance to regain control of government at home from special interests, and protect our rights as citizens.

Get ready for a politically incorrect guide to wealth preservation and restoring liberty by Ron Holland, a former American banker & trust officer, retirement consultant, president of a brokerage firm, and creator of financial and retirement products. He has retired from the financial services industry but now warns American investors to beware of Wall Street investments, the dollar, and the US legal and regulatory system. He writes, “the citizens of the American Empire are now faced with terrorist threats and a loss of financial and civil freedom at home, as well as an aggressive foreign policy abroad. These factors, combined with aging demographics and exploding government & private debts now threaten the savings, wealth, and liberty of every American citizen overly concentrated in the US dollar and financial markets.”

His book outlines where we are today in the historical context of the American Empire, and explains how another major terror attack could cause a collapse in  the US financial markets, liquidity, and the dollar, while limiting our remaining civil liberties and political freedoms. He outlines how to secure your wealth now and begin the process of restoring our liberty--a return to limited government controlled by the people, rather than by the special interests-- before the next terrorist attack when it may be too late.

Switzerland and the Gun - With a gun crime rate so low, records aren't even kept they must be doing something right having a well armed citizenry unlike in the United States. Also most Swiss politicians go around undefended without constant police protection in contrast to the armed bubbles of security in the US surrounding our political elites but then again their politicians haven't destroyed their liberties, sacrificed their soldiers around the world for an empire abroad and a police state at home.

War Crimes Against Southern CiviliansWashington: Making War Against Civilians Since 1861!
In a series of concise and compelling chapters, the story is told of the Union’s “hard war” against the people of the Confederacy—one that included the shelling and burning of cities, systematic destruction of entire districts, mass arrests, forced expulsions, wholesale plundering of personal property, and even murder. Attention is given to the suffering of African-American victims of Federal brutality. Carefully researched–largely from primary sources–this is the first book-length survey of war crimes committed by the the United States against Southern civilians.

Free Granny Madelyn Dunham [Obama]! - Here at Dixie Daily News, we have always opposed racism of any kind including white and black racist actions. It appears Obama is ashamed of his white grandmother.

Slavery in the North - The South has shouldered more than its fair share of guilt and apologies over the evil economic institution of slavery. We are glad to see this new website on slavery in the North. According to my research, in early America, New York City followed Charleston as the city with the largest number of slaves.

HK Edgerton's Open Letter/ An End of an Era / The Accounting - This is a "modern day" Southern Heritage & History Defeat" on parallel with Lee at Appomattox but we understand and support HK's decision. The lack of financial support, the defeatist naysayers who attacked him and questioned his integrity and actions at every turn while he impoverished himself while defending Dixie while they ate, bitched and retreated sickened me to such an extent that we have considered shutting down Dixie Daily News for some time. This Southern Patriot and Gentleman walked 1,500 miles in a March Across Dixie, ran two vehicles into the ground, had his home and most possessions destroyed in a hurricane while people were content to usually send him a few dollars here and there and think they had done their fair share in defending Dixie.

Ron Paul Announces Presidential Bid - He is speaking at the upcoming FreedomFest Convention in Las Vegas. Between Ron Paul and Donnie Kennedy, we can't go wrong.

The Foundation For American Education - Defending Dixie by Clyde N. WilsonPurchase Defending Dixie: Essays in Southern History and Culture by Clyde N. Wilson a selection from Dr. Clyde Wilson’s voluminous writings about the South -past, present, and future—over a period of time more than thirty years. The admiring view of Dixie presented here is rare at the present day. Dr. Wilson writes from a belief that the South is a living and long-lasting reality that continues to offer a valuable alternative vision to Americans of the 21st century. More importantly, as he says of Dixie, “there are plenty of good people who love her still.”

The Unvanquished Robert E. Lee - If Dixie and America only had such leaders today!

Georgia's Bob Barr Quits the GOP For the Libertarian Party - Considering the current leadership controlled by the special interests we applaud Barr's act of conscience.

Freedom For Flanders - Belgium French - language TV showed interrupted regular programming with an apparent news report, announcing that Dutch-speaking Flanders had unilaterally declared independence and that Belgium as a nation had ceased to exist. It showed "live" pictures of cheering crowds holding the Flemish flag, huge traffic jams leading to Brussels airport, and trams stuck at the new "border". I wish they would do the same here and the situation would be real.

Neoconservatism RIP - The flawed ideology has failed and but it will not be dead until the proponents of this foreign policy are expelled from the party. Bush isn't an evil person but his blind acceptance of their control and advice has made Bush Administration's foreign policy the third most detrimental to the United States following Woodrow Wilson and Abraham Lincoln. 

The Vermont Secession Conference - The right of legitimate, democratic, peaceful secession is the solution to most of the political problems in the world today arising from big centralized government and corrupt politicians.

Lincoln Unmasked - He was a worse tyrant than you thought, says Thomas DiLorenzo.

America's Temple to Political Plunder - Thomas DiLorenzo on Bill Moyers and the Lincoln Memorial.

The Republican Charade - Dr. Clyde Wilson accurately describing the GOP.

A Nightmare For America - A scary article from Tom Chartier on future ofAmerica and World War III . This goes right along with The Final Presidential Executive Order. Read and act now to protect your remaining assets and liberties!

The GOP, RIP - Sad but true! A worthwhile read from Justin Raimondo. Yes the leaders of the GOP have sacrificed conservatism and limited government when they were taken over by the Neocon cabel in Washington and NY.

The Pro-War Media's Re-Positioning Problem - As usual, Gary North is ahead of the pack in his analysis. You must read this thought provoking article.

Bush's War Is Turning Southern Women Away From the GOP - One GOP faithful compares Bush to Grant and we strongly disagree. Grant although on the wrong side of Lincoln's War was a successful and victorious general.  We believe a better comparison of Bush and his complete failure at foreign policy would be with Lincoln who started an unnecessary war with 600,000 Americans paying the ultimate price.

Charley Reese: Vote All the Bums Out in 2006 - I find his description of most of Congress refreshingly honest and to the point. Read this article and register to vote and vote against most elected politicians of both parties with the exception of Congressman Ron Paul. 

Who Will Save America? - A must read essay by Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review. He is coauthor of The Tyranny of Good Intentions.He can be reached at: paulcraigroberts@yahoo.com

The Final Presidential Executive Order Posted On The Capitalism Magazine Forum -  Presidential Executive Orders allow the President to make major decisions, even law, without the consent of Congress. For example, Executive Order # 6102 prohibited the hoarding of gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates & was used by Roosevelt to confiscate gold in 1933. Another terrorist attack could generate such a climate of fear, panic and public emergency as to cause a political over-reaction that could destroy many of our remaining personal, financial, religious & educational freedoms.

Libertarianism: For And Against  - An excellent book review by George C. Leef that all of our libertarian readers and most others who distrust the government should take the time to read. 

What Is Left? What Is Right? Does It Really Matter? - A must read essay by Southern Patriot Dr. Clyde Wilson writing for The American Conservative magazine.

Click on the Book at the Left For More Information - John Remington Graham, the author of a new book "Blood Money, The Civil War and the Federal Reserve". He makes the case how the divisive antagonisms between the North and South were deliberately agitated by great international banking houses and how they helped to promote Southern secession in order to set up a huge financial empire on Wall Street using public debt as the source of their wealth. Their planned destruction of Southern political power at the end of the war destroyed the power of the sovereign states and led to the birth of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
