Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul's "Freedom Watch" Never thought I would say this, but support FOX - well, Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul's - "Freedom Watch" Showby Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution

Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Marc Gallagher of www.LibertyMaven.com recently posted this trial news show. It's called "Freedom Watch" and is a 60 minute injection of raw liberty hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano. You can try watching the second hour-long trial show from this link. Peter Schiff, Stephen Moore from the Wall Street Journal, Cody Willard, Ron Paul, Tracey Burns and Lew Rockwell from the Mises Institute and lewrockwell.com all took turns as the Judge moderated. The hour of audio from the first show is available here.
Prior to the watching the show, I had only come across the Judge's name once or twice before as by personal choice I've been boycotting FOX since they blackballed Ron Paul from the New Hampshire presidential debate a year ago. I've decided to remove my boycott if FOX airs this show – although it will probably only apply to NFL games and Freedom Watch.
Topics ranged from the Obama Bailout and Ron Paul’s complaint that no one had time to read this important bill, the Republican-Democrat duopoly, the Constitution and the rule of law, CEO bonuses, Peter Schiff took potshots at the dollar, the propping of the housing market. The show was bustling as guests were constantly coming and going without the usual formatting and quite possibly the most entertaining moment in the impromptu show was when Schiff, well-endowed with the gift of gab, found himself forced into silence while switching a microphone back-and-forth between Napolitano and another FOX commentator. My favorite quote was from Lew Rockwell:
"Well the government understands what’s good for the government. They understand they are ripping us off. Federal Treasuries are certificates of guaranteed expropriation, that’s about all we can expect from the government – more expropriation. One thing we can do besides fighting this ideologically I’ll just say is buy gold. As long as people will accept your dollars for gold, buy gold."
With the recent hubbub about the Re-elect Obama in 2012 Act - I mean the Great Depression Act of 2009 - it would be a rare find indeed to have a show air where eco-politics and liberty is debated in a serious fashion.
The show will never go live unless there is some support for it, so if you like it please feel free to join the Facebook group "Fans of Fox's Freedom Watch That Want To See it on the Air" or better yet send a quick email to FOX at yourcomments@foxnews.com
Who knows? Perhaps the rEVOLution can finally hit the mainstream media and Americans can start realizing that there is no easy "bailout" this time around. When Obama's "100 Days" honeymoon finally ends, it may result in an awakening for a few more converts for liberty, freedom, prosperity, and free markets.
That is, unless you leave in a dream world where Obama will make everything alright. Wasn't one of the campaign promises from that charlatan that the troops would start heading home from Iraq within a month of his inauguration?
Well, it is February 24th and the inauguration was January 20th, so time's up. Fact is, those troops are not coming home anyways. They are off to Chaostan.

Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul both seek to reform an empire by calling it a democratic republic, thus attempting to separate individual and state soveriegnty (which Resolutions astutely observed as being impossible). This defines them as what some call "libertopians," since they pursue impossible ideals within a corrupt state via simple good intentions and denial, rather than having the courage to denounce the corruption and demand restoration of their respective nations' soveriegnty.

P.S. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
I have to say that the Constitution is not the user-friendly layman's document that many imagine, which leads to many common misconceptions regarding its meaning. Specifically, the phrase "People of the United States" misleadingly refers to the singular peoples of each state respectively as a the collective sovereigns each of a single sovereign nation; likewise, nowhere does the Constitution surrender or combine the sovereignty of any state into a single nation, as many Machiavellian pragmatists have attempted to manufacture in defense of single-statism via twisting semantics, and the mass-suppression foisted in enforcement of such under federal reign in which hundreds of thousands of state citizens were ordered slain for dissenting.

(continued) As a result, the states have for these past 144 years lived under a reign of terror as federal precedent threatens the same treatment of any similar or assertion of state sovereignty; this formed the Union into an empire in everything but name only, while the Constitution was mooted by corruption and plebiscite into plutocracy and factionalism-- as the Resolutions precisely warned us more than 200 years previous. The only solution, according to the Founders, is to restore recognition of the sovereignty of every state-- which must be done by these state-citizens proving this soveriegn status under international law, and asserting it as such... meanwhile declaring the current federal regime to be the evil empire that Reagan likewise declared the Soviets, whose differene was only the modus operandi of force rather than misinformation, but which all law equally recognizes as similarly culpable in effecting crimes.

Dear Brian -
Thanks for commenting!
I haven't listed to the Judge that much, really just the first 2 shows, but my view is that Ron Paul doesn't just want to "reform" the (military) empire, he wants to end it, very simply because it is wrong and because we can't afford it.
I realize you didn't write military empire, but before commenting further, what "Resolutions" are you referring to? If you think RP lives in a world of "simple good intentions and denial," I'd love to hear your thoughts on Obama :)
