Could this be Santa Klaus?
It feels like Christmas already. All that any of the boys and girls want for Christmas is LIBERTY. We are all guilty of filling our lives with "things", but that never works; it only creates more frustration. Liberty is the one gift every parent should strive to give their children..... Unlike the newest toy or game, it will always be in fashion, never lose an iota of its value and will be cherished more as the years close in on our little ones.
If your child asks for a fish, would you give him a stone?
Give me Liberty... or else!
Give me Liberty or I'll get it myself!
This glimmer of hope is very exciting news!

a taste of EU like democracy and freedom:
Last week I was part of a delegation from the European Parliament’s Constitutional Committee (called AFCO). The delegation went to Prague, with the purpose of paying an official visit to the country that is taking over the EU presidency. Naively I though that it would be a courtesy visit. But no! I was really mistaken. The underlying agenda of my co-travellers turned out to be to try to threaten/scare/demean the Czech Republic into ratifying the Lisbon Treaty, before taking over the presidency.

this is good news. notice
this is good news.
notice how the NYT did their absolute best to discredit him but even they had to say: "[he] helped to transform the Czech Republic into one of the former Soviet bloc’s most successful economies"
how blind/stupid can socialist get?
I was in Czech Republic this
I was in Czech Republic this past summer. The people of the Czech Republic HATE this guy. He is a global warming denier, and, as our tour guide said, 'a huge douchebag.'
He approved a US radar system (related to the missile shields in Poland) in the Czech Republic, against the will of the people.
Good Lord! A GLOBAL WARMING denier!
Heavens to Betsy! He's--he's--a MONSTER who hates the PLANET! Next you'll be saying he burns Al Gore books!!!

Being called Douchebag usually means you are on target
You don't get flack unless you are flying over the target. The reason European socialists hate this guy is because he is promoting the same things Ron Paul does, minus the grandfatherly personality. I'm heartened that socialists are calling him a douchebag.
Register as Republican and Vote for Ron Paul
Global warming denier?
I can't fault him for that. The evidence I've seen points towards Gore's thesis being incorrect.
Cameron, have you seen the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle ?
Speaking of global
Speaking of global warming....tell us about that Cameron. What do you know about it, and how is it affecting the climate?

Yes Cameron please tell us about global warming :)
Klaus is well-loved except by europhiles
First, Cameron_DeHart, Vaclav Klaus is President not Prime Minister, Just like in Germany, the President has no real power - just serves as a figurehead.
Second, the prime minister , Topolek, is the one whose government negotiated the missile deal with the Bush cronies.
Third, you say the people hate him - well it depends who you spoke to. I know some people who adore this guy cos he has been truthful and genuine. Topolek is a NWO europhile, while Klaus has done everything within his capacity to stop the nwo Lisbon treaty (rejected by the Irish referendum last June), which is an amending version of the EU constitution (rejected by the French and Dutch referendums of 2005).
Unfortunatley, Topolek would not have a referendum - had that been so the Czechs would have given an overwhelming NO.
And lastly, I don't want to disappoint ppl, but the person taking over from Sarkozy is indeed Topolek the prime minister not Klaus the president. (in France it is like inthe US, where the president is the decider).
Every time you guys say NWO,
Every time you guys say NWO, it reduces the legitimacy of your argument.
Hahahaaa.
would you look at this troll. I love it.. Never question anything.. The NWO is just a big lie and conspiracy..
Man if this were my house and you were in it, I would run you out with mace.

Thats peaceful. I'm sure Ron Paul appreciates such proposals coming from his rank-and-file supporters. haha
I question plenty. I refuse to subscribe to an unsubstantiated claim of global conspiracy, when history and current events points to the contrary.
ummm
what are you on?
Can you be that disillusioned?
Let me jog your memory.
September 11th, 1991 - Bush 41 announces the NWO to the world and says that "It WILL come".

September 11th, 2001 - EXACTLY 10 years later almost to the hour - 9/11 happens - spur the PATRIOT Act and global war on terror.
I live in TX and the Trans Texas Corridor and CANAMEX trade corridors are the REAL DEAL.
Please show how history debunks the fact that those in power try to gain greater power by oppressing greater and greater numbers of people. How a bout that Roman Empire? They certainly did NOT try to conquer and enslave the entire world. Neither did Ramses in Egypt...
Please prove all of us WHACKOS wrong.
Every time you touch your keyboard
you reduce your credibility. Read the back of the one dollar bill. Novus ordo seclorum. New order of the ages.
Now, educate yourself.
There is even a COMPLETE IDIOTS guide to the NWO just for you....

It is clear where you come from
Cameron, I seek no legitimacy with a person like you, who scribbles without checking his facts.
If you cant find legitimacy
If you cant find legitimacy with ME, then you wont find legitimacy with anyone in America.
Oh god
And all this time I thought the Earth rotated around the sun.

Lisbon treaty
Klaus strongly opposed LS however it was approved by the Constitutional Court today(http://aktualne.centrum.cz/czechnews/clanek.phtml?id=623170). This is very bad news as it IMHO will be easily passed in Parliament which leaves Ireland alone with their No vote. Last chance is that Klaus won't sign it (his signature is mandatory) but it won't change much :(.
Bad news indeed, Thomaas!
Nevertheless thank you for keeping us updated. Having said this, the EU threaty is still in deadlock due to the Irish No. And the German Constitutional Court has yet to decide on the case brought forward by the German repesentative Peter Gauweiler (the closest to a Ron Paul-like figure we have in Germany). And perhabs teh ongoing economic crisis will finish the EU as we know it.

Ron Paul was right
I'm not sure anymore. I feel
I'm not sure anymore. I feel like they can do whatever they want. If it was Germany or France ... but who cares about Ireland? They had to explain themselves to EU burocrats(!) why the vote was no. You should be here (Ireland) after the vote. They were so scared that they will be excomunicated/isolated! I don't think this is the feeling you should have after doing your rightful decision among equal partners...
If they ignore the Irish No
it would be a blatant breach of international law. Don't think they dare this in Europe. All they might do is:
- let Ireland vote again (But it's too risky to receive another No. And as far as I know there is no date set for this)
- exclude Ireland or downgrade the membership (Apparently this option is off the table. Maybe because Ireland was the European success story.)
IMO we will soon see the EU and especially the Euro zone disintegrate or at least lose importance. Didn't you notice the rift between France and Germany? I guess the relations weren't that bad since 50 years. The ongoing crisis will force the politicians back to pay at least lip service to national interest. Don't forget that people may get very angry about our 'elites' when the ongoing crisis unfolds. Have you seen the pictures from Iceland? Can you imagine what will happen in countries like France, Spain or Greece? And even in Germany things might get very uncomfortable for some people when hyperinflation strikes. I don't think they will have time to spend on fancyful things like the EU treaty.

Klaus' speech in Court yesterday
Vaclav Klaus yesterday addressed the constitutional court in Prague, which only this morning (it is now 11.30 Central European Time) decided that the Lisbon treaty is not in conflict with the Czech constitution.
His speech is insightful:

Some clarifications from a Czech guy
First of all, Mr. Klaus and Dr. Paul are sort of frieds, at least couple of years ago Dr. Paul accepted his invitation to give a speach in Prague on the occassion of Czech language publication of Human Action (video here: http://wemsite1.vsb.cz/manta/viewer/Viewers/Viewer320TL.aspx... - only MSIE, dr. Paul app. from 37:00 minute).
So I guess, gavination, that some kind of conference would be quite possible.
Colognepaulist is right, our president doesn't have that kind of power as the US, French or Russian president, but his position is not only ceremonial either. He is appointing high military officials, Supreme Court judges and - best of all - central bank governors. Actually, he's already appointed three CB governors with libertarian, non-interventionist, anti-globalist leanings! :)) I guess it's a world record.
As for your comment, easyhumous, Mr. Klaus is indeed leaning more toward Friedman's Chicago school, but he admires Austrians (especially Hayek and Mises) as well. But I often hear him saying, that institutions like IMF or WB are obsolete and need to be either reformed or abolished altogether and that central bank interventions can cause more harm than good. All in all, economically he is pretty close to dr. Paul, although he is more carefull in what he is saying.
Wow, thanks a lot. i'm too
Wow, thanks a lot. i'm too lazy to look him up in detail myself, but i caught a second or two of the video. yeah... if he doesn't call for the phasing out of his own central bank with competing currencies I think he still harbors secret reservations of coveting power. After all, Bush, Greenspan consider themselves "chicago school" economists, the same with Geithner i think.... personally i think milton friedman was nothing new, just a joke, extolling the virtues of capitalism while he (in the form of Greenspan) himself wanted to control which currency people could trade with. Hayek would still see a road to serfdom with milton friedman's philosophy
