About me

I am a political activist. I reach over 40,000 people every time I blog and that number grows daily. I have been all over the map politically for 35 years. I’ve raised money for campaigns ,knocked on doors ,held meeting, parties ,get together’s ,put up signs ,debated , and blogged my fool heart out for candidates in the past because of their party affiliation. I am now officially a political atheist. I look at the person running ,why they are running ,Can they climb higher after this election ,and who they have behind them. I have found great people in every party and evil people in every party. I feel strongly that slavery still exists in America and it is growing massively. The sad thing about this is that the very people that will be enslaved or continue to be slaves will fight tooth and nail for it. I love my country .I’m one voice with good intentions. I’m hoping to find more.

( I write this on Tumblr.com and at this second I am rated number one in the world out of several million bloggers on Tumblr ,so I’m at the top. I’ll go from hero to zero in a few minutes but I do have “this moment” )

———————————————————————————————————————-

I wrestled with the title to today’s blog for a while. Why ? Because I hate change. Sadly ,change has been the very thing that all the things I love about my country came from. Changes like breaking away from Great Britain and forming our own set of laws. Abolishing slavery , and again in 1965 abolishing more slavery by allowing blacks to vote. It is hard to believe that Americans as late as the 80’s still thought that an entire race of people not being allowed to vote would be normal and right. It seems so strange now. These and other changes like them were good changes but were fought by people not unlike me. This ,because I hate change. I wasn’t around when Thomas Jefferson and his friends decided to fight the only world super power at the time for freedom. What were they thinking ? I’d like to think I would have been as excited about The Constitution then as I am now. Knowing myself though ,I assume I would have not been on freedoms side back then ,change. Who knew ? In the 1860’s when the war between the states started up I have to wonder where I’d have been on the issues of that time. It wasn’t all about slavery back then but slavery was perhaps the most important issue looking back. This time I’m pretty sure I’d have fought to free them. I say this because I’m a very proud descendant of some of the first and most fierce abolitionist that ever lived. The Stepp’s in that day were rich Virginians and key players in fighting to free the slaves. Even to the point of giving them their land ,wealth ,and standing in the communities they lived. In some cases even their name. The Stepp Brothers were a great group of singers in the 60’s. They received their last name from our family. So I’d like to think I’d have been on the right side of history in this case. Finally I’ll touch on 1965. This was a time of change for America. Although according to our Constitution and the laws that followed about race issues and the rights that minorities had we as a nation were still too ignorant to see that change was coming and it was necessary. Man would it be ugly. On this side of change I have a feeling that I’d be on the right side of history too. Even as a young kid I didn’t understand why blacks and whites were different inside or why blacks were considered somewhat inferior to whites. My friends were black. I look back now and wonder if they felt any different. My father was and is to this day my hero. Although he is tough as nails ,country boy from West Virginia ,and uneducated he still knew that blacks and whites should be equal. So I’ll say that I’d have been in on that fight too. These were changes in America that had great cost attached to them. Aren’t all changes ? Looking back weren’t the changes worth fighting for ? Lets talk about changes in our America today ,2010 ,The Post “Get it Now Era.”

Today we have a black president ,Jewish leaders ,gay leaders ,Muslim leaders ,etc. We have traveled a long way since 1965. I wanted to make sure we all understand that before moving on to what is changing. Why some will be great and some are wrong for our America.  As a strict Constitutionalist my opinions will always be filtered through what I believe the Constitution says about an issue. Having said that I will take a look at just the changes that I see or have a passionate opinion about based of course on and from “my” view.

1. Federal Government expansion.

This is a pretty hot topic that most people don’t bother to understand. It is against Constitutional Law to make one American buy another American something by force. This will tell you how I feel about thousands of issues from entitlements of all kinds to of late Health Care Reform. This needs to be stopped right away. It only sounds good because it sounds progressive. Remember that anything that moves us away from The Constitution should be looked at suspiciously and something that will eventually enslave us. A great example of this is the IRS. When the IRS was developed it was to “help” our federal government “help” our poor and needy ,and of course roads ,infrastructure ,etc. At least that’s how it was sold to us. Our Constitution says it is illegal to tax a mans labor. Yet a privately held company taxes it with the weight of the American Government behind it. This will never change and progressives fought hard to get it. What most people do not understand is that NONE of what the IRS takes goes towards the needy ,poor ,or infrastructure. It goes back into the Federal Reserve bank. The very privately owned bank that invented it. I wish Americans learned from their past but they will just relive it I fear.

2. States Rights

This is a touchy subject. But lets dive in anyway. The largest failures in the world are businesses ran by big governments. The bigger the government the larger the failures. A few examples right here in America. The Postal Service. Just in the 1st quarter of 09 after receiving the higher stamp cost they said they needed to break even they posted an 8 billion dollar loss. That was just one quarter and after the raise. Medicare and ,Social Security are both completely broke and running off of money given to them as bailouts. This is why The Constitution states that the states should govern themselves with very little input from the federal government. Its hard to imagine now but the founding fathers feared and even predicted the time would come when the federal government would get too big ,tax the people ,and run failing programs. Why you ask did they know it would come ? Because this is the same government we left in England. They just reestablished it here on the American people. And we allow it. Some even fight for it without looking at cause and affect.

3. The War on Drugs

We’ve looked at failed federal government programs but none quite so obviously flawed as this one. Trillions have been spent fighting a war that can’t be won and creating a bureaucracy to fight it that doesn’t have an incentive to win it. First the states should be able to have their own drug laws and policies as The Constitution says. California could actually fix their immigration laws and legalize pot to balance their budget. Take the crime out of it ,clean it up ,grow it ,distribute it ,and sell it. They do not have to be broke. Its only because of federal intervention that causes it. Again our Federal Government is too big and too invasive for states to be allowed it flourish the way our Constitution says they should.

4. International Intervention (The Trade Dollar Cycle)

Our founding fathers would roll over in their graves if they saw what we were doing in other countries right now ,and at least since the early 1900’s. Why are we in Iraq ? They never attacked us. The biggest thing they did was took their oil off of the American dollar and started selling it for other currencies. You see oil is traded in dollars. Its called “The Petrol Dollar Cycle”. You could for the purpose of this blog I’m writing just call it “The Dollar Cycle”. Its an endless flow of money for the worlds wealthiest people. Kings,queens ,the elite, etc. Everything that trades exclusively on the American Dollar or mostly on the American Dollar falls into this category. Oil ,gold ,silver ,soy beans, wheat, etc. They all trade mostly on the Dollar. The Federal Reserve prints Dollars. This means that anyone that buys a barrel of oil has to first buy an American Dollar. If the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank can print all they want then anyone that is involved with this bank has all the money in the world. So it turns money into power and control. When a country has recourses not trading on the Dollar then that rocks that boat and must be dealt with. If you look at all the conflict, payoffs ,and interventions in the world and where we have our military machine you will find this does affect the decision making process in a big way. Expand your minds and look with fresh eyes. At least try to look at this. Its frightening I know but needs the light of day on it more than anything else in the world.

I try to stay clear of conspiracies. I know I touched on one in the last paragraph. But just because it sounds different than what you think doesn’t mean its not true. I believe in the American people and I believe we will experience a quiet peaceful revolution like we’ve never seen before. It is my belief and hope that “We The People” will not continue following blindly self serving leaders and systems that will enslave our children. America is changing. I see us changing more for the good rather than the evil that looms near us. Globalism is the big thing moving our direction. Why would a country with 5% of the world population and 20% of its wealth want to give up its standing and standards. We as a people earned that and as a people we must defend it. Stop voting for people that appear to be something they are not and start standing up for The Constitution. We are the only nation with such a document and it is the only thing that stands between us being enslaved or being free. Freedom is a living ,moving target that is being hunted by people that want it dead.  Do not except any less than complete freedom. Make your life count.

Sincerely,

Ken Stepp
