DEL.ICIO.USWhat you didn’t know about Bob Barr
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The New Yorker has an excellent, straight-forward look at the Libertarian presidential candidacy of Bob Barr, the former Marietta congressman.
The piece is lengthy, but includes this gem:
Barr attended Georgetown Law at night and, in 1978, moved to Atlanta to practice criminal law. He was aggressive and took risks. Once, fearing that policemen might harm a client, an accused cop killer, on an airplane, he hired another plane and flew behind them. When the brother-in-law of Baby Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator, was apprehended in Puerto Rico on drug-smuggling charges, Barr and his law partner, Ed Marger, flew to Port-au-Prince to help. (“Ed and I were sitting on this couch in this beautiful residence with Baby Doc and his wife, and all of a sudden this big rat runs across the room,” he recalled.

Barr is the 2nd best candidate behind Constitution Party nominee Dr.Chuck Baldwin. The two Globalist Elite puppets (“Juan McAmnasty” & “Bacrock Obuma”) have NO business as POTUS!!!

What you do know about Barr is that he DIDN”T support the recent bill destroying the american dollar and socializing the banking system. He is in favor of a gold standard and for eliminating the Federal Reserve. He favors a return to constitutional government and these are things you will never get from the two losers that the democrats and republicans have dumped on us.
Truly the only patriotic thing to do this election season is to not vote at all and send the message that you are withdrawing your support for the process. It is obviously rigged in favor of the Bankers, the Big Corporations, the Media, the military industrial complex, and every other group who makes their living off the suffering and hard work of the american people.
What would happen if only 10% showed up to vote? How could any president lay claim to legitimacy? There has never been a better year to do it.
Do the right thing. Stay home on November 4.

Bob Barr was/is an asset of the CIA - the Knight of Malta-led Roman Catholic Rockefeller/Bush Fifth Column front which, according to the ‘Hunt v. Liberty Lobby’ Federal District Court Jury’s judgment in 1985, assassinated John Kennedy to send 58,000 of us to die for the pope in his latifundial estate of Vietnam.
Any “adventures” he may recount or magnify must be seen in that context.
