Phil’s Blog and News Commentary

That’s right ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages. Phil has returned from the dark depths of labor and nerd rapping to continue on with his political activist endeavors. I will apologize for being gone so long… to my two readers out there… I was so absolutely disgusted with this past election that I essentially gave up. When the republican party put forth a man who was just as bad a choice as Obama, I decided my time in the party was up, and I still believe that to be true. I will be changing my registration come July 4th along with thousands of other Americans during the Re-Tea Party festivities on Independence Day this year. Perhaps they can form a new party, the Republicrats, or the Democans, it doesn’t really matter, they’re both the same anyway. And the only way to change it, as America have finally started waking up to, is either complete revolution, or simply vote for someone else next time around. This has to happen at all levels of Government for it to be effective. State, County, Federal, whoever is up for election, if you feel that they have abandoned your values and your morals to become a professional politician, then it’s time for them to be thrown out.

But anyway, there’s going to be a lot more to come on the Tea Party front, because I plan on hosting one here in Logan County, WV. Hopefully on the steps of the Courthouse. I know alot of people wouldnt drive to charleston for a tea party if they live in… say… Williamson, but maybe they will drive to the Courthouse for one. Please note that this is not a try at petty politics. That’s not what these gatherings are about. Yes I have conservative leanings- more like conservative falling overs- but that does not play a part in these parties. I am just as much against spending from a republican as I am a democrat or an independent. I am against any government bailout of businesses that allows the government to begin to control that corporation. Especially when it’s a huge one like GM. I am against a government that already owns everything I think is mine. (Don’t think it’s true? See what happens when you don’t pay taxes. It’s time for the people to stand up and tell the Federal Government that enough is enough. We see what you are doing and we are mad as hell, and if you aren’t careful, American citizens are going to start raining it down upon you.

Now, back to playing a bit of politics. That is what keeps this site going, and I have one huge question for everyone out there.

 IS OUR NEW PRESIDENT AN IDIOT?!?!?

Honestly. I have never seen such a spineless person when it comes to international politics. Bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia? Really?!?!? You are an American! At least we think you are. Start acting like it. I would never bow to a king or queen. I am a ruler in my own country, as is everyone reading this. That is how America was set up. So that we would never have to worry about being under the rule of anyone, ever again! Then this idiotic senator from Illinois, decides, “Hey, I’m gonna bow to the king, because, after all, he is a king, and I am but a lowly apologetic spineless LOSER!”

In case you couldn’t tell this REALLY  made me angry.

The State dept issued a statement that said, very sarcastically I might add, that they were very sorry President Obama shook the Kings hand with both his. If this guy is so stupid he can’t shake someones hand with both his without bowing, then we are in for worse trouble than even I imagined.  He has people who tell him that he shouldn’t do this or that. That you don’t do certain things to certain people, and I imagine both him and his wife either purposely ignored it, or are just to dumb to care.

So first with the DVD and Ipod fiasco’s with England, then touching the Queen, then bowing to a King, then the whole friendship with Latin America thing. That’s right. It wasn’t enough that he apologized to the world for America being so stupid overseas. He decides he wants to be friends with people who absolutely hate everything that we stand for on a large tract of land that is directly connected!

Are you beginning to see why I lost hope? This is what America elected. In a landslide victory no less! However, the tea parties have given me hope again. I see a large base of people who are fed up with fed and want to get back to smaller government, and more personal freedom. And I don’t see them going away anytime soon.

So laugh it up while you can Government. We’re comin to put some of you in a more honest line of work.

Your’s in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II

 Apparently so. More later.

Yours in Truth,

Phillip Williamson

It’s been a tradition for about 5-6 years… ever since I first started pageoftruth.com… to post a rant on love every year at this time. I filter this rant through every website I control, the myspace, facebook, and now, imwithphil.org can join the fray. I have offended friends, strangers, and even girlfriends with this rant. I never mean to. I don’t point out anyone as an example, in fact I just try to use my experiences to properly define love once a year, and point out that what you may think is love, is not. So let us begin.

We’ll start by saying I hate this holiday. Valentines day. Back in the hayday of roman civilization, yeah it was cool. You’d skin a goat, bloody the hide up, go smack the fields with it to ensure fertility of your fields, then run through town smacking women with it like a wet towel to ensure that they were fertile as well. Nowadays, what has it turned into? I mean really. What was the point of valentines day for you this year? Guys? I’ll say it. The majority of you did stuff for sex. That’s right. Sex. Now some of you actually wanted to do something sweet for the one you love, but if you didn’t get anything in return would you do it again? The majority of you who just said yes are liars. Women? What about you? Here, I’ll say it for you, bragging rights. Cuz most if not all of you will go to work Monday or call your friends immediately after V-day is over to tell your girls what an amazing guy you have, unless he did something that you would consider standard, then you keep your trap shut.

Valentines day is just as badly commercialized as Christmas is in my opinion, if not worse. Why? Because of the extent men will go to get sex. That is my opinion. 99% of men will do absolutely anything to increase their chances of getting in the sack with their woman (The other 1% actually care for their significant other). Diamonds, roses, chocolate, romantic evening, you name it, we’ll do it. The different companies take note of this, and start selling stuff that women want, the women ask for it, the guys get it, and her, and a successful valentines day is had.

Now tell me, what in the above sentence actually had anything to do with love? The part in parentheses, of course, but I’m still ranting on the rest of it. Does buying a woman gifts show her love? Does “taking” her show her how deeply you feel for her? (not feel her, feel for her, big difference there) No. Anyone can buy crap for their woman, but on this one day we feel like we have to buy something? Here’s a grand idea, love your woman everyday like you pretend to on Valentines day. Women, Does letting your significant other in your pants show your love for him? Does fixing him a nice dinner or buying him something show it? Same answer. No.

“But Phil, what is love?” I have pondered this question for years. And it’s interesting to go back through past rants and see how my ideas concerning this topic have changed. And this year, my opinions have changed… have not necessarily changed… but maybe grown. I used to define love primarily as an action. Something that you did. I made fun of the butterflies in the stomach and the heart stopping and said that some stupid “feeling” wasn’t what love was about at all. But shortly after last years rant, my definition began to change, I realized that what I said didn’t match my experiences. So now we have a twofold definition of love. And yes, I mean romantic. You have love, the feeling, the lovey dovey butterfly heart stopping crap, and then you have love the action, the things you do that show you love someone. One cannot exist without the other.

Love is a choice. I apologize in advance, but if you tell me you fell in love just accidentally out of the blue, I’m going to call you an idiot. Love is not something you fall into naturally. Naturally you have an innate desire to see yourself lifted up above everyone else. It’s called human nature. To look out for #1 is the way we are wired. So you cannot “fall” into love. Because if you love someone, you put them ahead of you. You do things for them, you go places they wanna go, do things they wanna do, and will, most importantly, sacrifice yourself for them. Now I don’t mean physically go out and sacrifice yourself on an alter while screaming out their name or something, that’s just dumb. However I do mean the whole taking a bullet for them thing. Not only your physical life, but what you do. Your hopes, your dreams, If you are willing to sacrifice that for a person, then yes, I will say you love them.

Now I don’t need to go into examples I think. You can think of plenty of times when a person you were interested in told you they loved you and they really didn’t. It was lust or infatuation. But society today bombards us with the physical aspect of love being what it is, that if you are attracted to a person that that is all it takes. Who cares about love? right? That’s why 50% or more of married couples end up in divorce.

So here’s an idea for next years Valentines day couples. Boycott it. I mean it. You don’t need it. She don’t, He definitely don’t. You should be showing each other that you love one another all year round. It shouldn’t take a day or a box of chocolates or roses to show that. It’s about time we got back to the ground roots of what love is. And to close this years rant, the ever famous Bible verse about love, found in I Corinthians 13…

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”

Yeah, I know, I quit writing, and liberals everywhere rejoiced. Well I am back. With a vengeance. For how long? Hopefully until finals at least. I got a few things I want to get off my chest. The first is about the SCCC and the second has to do with the fall election. Shall we begin?

As many of you know I was the WVSU Campus Leader for the SCCC, now I am the WVSU Campus Leader, and the Marshall U Campus Leader as well. I’m taking 12 hours between MU and WVSU, work, and now have 2 campuses to fight for your right to self defense at. Obviously I have a bit more free time than I did before, or I am just crazy. Take your pick. But what is the SCCC doin this semester? Are we wearing empty holsters around again? No, although I may suggest that both campuses do that in addition to what the SCCC’s thing is this year. This year, the official SCCC activity is the Pitch it to the People Week (aka: PIP). During PIP, I plan to have a table set up at each campus which will -hopefully, be manned each day by SCCC members. We will be armed with Literature, posters, SCCC memorabilia, and hopefully a laptop that will allow you to become a member of the SCCC right then if you so desire. The reason we are not doing an EHP again is that we do not want that to become considered commonplace or normal. We desire the media attention, because we feel that this is an effort that needs to be addressed on our University grounds now.

For those of you who do not remember, the SCCC is a student based and led organization who wishes to see those people who already have conceal carry permits for their state to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon on public college and university grounds. If you wish to help take part in the PIP, please contact me at pwilliamson@imwithphil.org.

Now, for the election. I actually quit writing because of the election. I am so disgusted with our two main candidates that I have quit listening to debates, quit watching the news, and even stopped disgussing it with my friends. For any of you that know me, you know that I normally don’t shut up about politics, so this really got to me. But with a month to go, I finally decided to start getting out there for the candidates that I do support. The following is a list of who I support for different positions.

Chuck Baldwin– President
Jay Wolfe– US Senate for WV
Russ Weeks– Governor for WV

My Presidential choice will surely shock anyone who reads this that knows, me as I have been talking up Bob Barr for the past month, But I recently found the Constitution party, who’s candidate is Chuck Baldwin. Chuck Baldwin is closer to my beliefs than Bob Barr is, and Bob was pretty close. My main site will soon change to indicate this turn in my support as well.

Jay Wolfe, I met at the summer WVGOP convention. He is a good conservative man who wants to help the people of WV. Yes, Rockafeller has helped our veterans, I know he helped my grandpa out when he was having trouble with the VA and I thank him for that. However, much of his voting record I cannot agree with, and therefore am supporting a change.

Russ Weeks is one of the creators of the Castle Doctrine, a WV bill that allows a man the right to defend himself by any means necessary in his own home. If this bill were to pass, no longer would citizens have to be afraid of defending themselves or theire families on their own property. Mr Weeks is also pro-life, pro-coal, and pro-traditional family. I will vote for him over Joe Manchin any day.

Hopefully I have given you some things to think about. I hope you check out the above politicians, as you should know your choices and know what you are voting for. As John Q. Adams said, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may
cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” As a nation we have grown to vote for the lesser of two evils. I hope you never do that. Always look for the candidate who most closely resembles your own beliefs and values, and vote for him. Encourage your friends and family to vote in this manner, and eventually we can bring sanity, morals, and values back to our nation, instead of voting for more of the same from either main party.

It’s good to be back, and look to hear alot more from your favorite WV conservative-libertarian.

Yours in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II

First off. Happy fathers day to all the true fathers. I don’t mean you sleazebags who impregnated a woman than ran off and left your family for one reason or another. I also don’t mean most men who divorced their wives or were dumb enough to marry a woman that you would divorce later. I mean the fathers. Those men who are truly the pillar of their home. The ones who are always there for their family, the ones who provide for their family, the ones who protect their family. To the true fathers out there. Happy Fathers Day.

I’m not going to pretend for a minute that I personally know the jobs and trials and pressures that a father must be under. I’m 22, still single, and do my best to be a good boyfriend when I’m in a relationship, and still manage to screw that up somehow most of the time. To be a husband and a father is a responsibility and privilege that I am not sure I am ready for yet. You think you are? Lets look a bit at the position of fathers today. What their responsibilities are, the kind of pressure they face, and try to truly understand that not every person with their anatomy lined up right is truly a “man” much less “father” material.

Of course, me being a Christian, I go to the Bible for a good look at how a man should behave, what his responsibilities are, etc. And Ephesians is an awesome book to look at how a man should behave. Before we go to much farther into this, allow me to say why I keep using the word “behave”. As I told a friend of mine one time when she asked if I thought I was a man, my response was, “It doesn’t matter what I think. If I don’t behave as a man; if my actions, words, and thoughts are not those of a man, than what does it matter if I think I am a man or not.” The only thing that the world is able to judge your manliness on is your actions, your behavior. This is what defines a man. Not the fact that you have an extra appendage, but your actions. Now. Lets see what the Bible says about these actions.

My first and personal favorite, is found in 1st Timothy 5:8. “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” In other words, a father is to be the prime provider for a family. I did not say the wife could not work. In todays society that may very well be necessary, and that is not the point of today’s post. Men are to be able to provide food for their family, provide protection, provide shelter, and anything else the family may need. NOT want, but Need. If a man does not do this, out of laziness, or not caring for his family, or because he is not truly a man, then the Bible clearly states that God holds him like an unbeliever. More than likely he is a non-believer as well because a Christian man would provide for his family or at least make the attempt to. Not finding a job and looking is understandable. Not looking for a job and sitting around the house while letting your wife provide is not.

There may be other problems that get in the way of the man providing, but I think you get my drift on that subject. On to another one. Ephesians 6:4. “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” The fathers responsibility to his children is to teach them in loving kindness. This does not mean the father should not show righteous anger. For instance if he found out his son got a young woman pregnant out of wedlock, I would expect a certain amount of anger. However, he also needs to be supportive of his son, and urge him to make the right decisions according to what is right in the eyes of God. The father is to be an example to his children of the kind of love that God the Father has for all of us. When the children look at dad, they should be able to see God’s love through you.

Another good one in Ephesians, is in chapter 5: 25-33. This is part of the chapter that explains how husband and wife should feel and act towards one another. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That
he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless
let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself;
and the wife see that she reverence her husband.”

Wow, had to start a new paragraph after that one. But it was worth it. A husband should show the same love to his wife that Christ showed for the church. As it said, he should even be willing to lay his life down for her, just as Christ did for us. He should care and provide for her as if she were him, because the man is yet to be born who truly hates his own flesh. Now how many men do you know truly embody these traits?

Where can you find a man who has these traits, ladies? Good luck. They are dieing out fast. However, a good general rule, is if you find a man who fears the Lord, has a strong relationship with God, has a daily time that he sets aside for God, and that has surrendered everything in his life to God, will be a man who will treat you just as a true man should. He will be a man who will be an excellent father to any children, and you will truly see the love of God in him.

I have not the time to go through everything the Bible said about being a man and a father, but this is a pretty good overview for today. Before I sign off though. I would like to thank my father. For imparting much knowledge on me, for allowing me to make mistakes and helping me through them, for teaching me how to shoot a basketball and play baseball, for taking me fishing and hunting, and bringing me up the way I should go. I still don’t think I truly appreciate everything he has done for me, and I may not until I hopefully become a father one day as well. So thanks Dad. For everything.

Yours in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II

Excellent question. So far this summer I have been working. Where? The hottest place on earth, Williamson’s Greenhouses in Chapmanville. It’s a family business, where we grow veggies, and decorative plants. Personally I don’t see the point of a plant unless it is feeding you, but apparently there is a market for this type of stuff. So I am working in the house designated “#5″ because it was the fifth built. I am taking care of growing produce that we will sell later. Our tomatoes are salmonella free. Take that McDonald’s.

The money that I am making there is going into savings and preparations for my move to Huntington this fall so that I may take my two final classes and graduate with a BS in Biology and Pre-med from WV State U. I shall still remain Campus Leader of the SCCC on WV State and will act as one at Marshall until one is registered. Also, I am looking for a place to stay and work part time. So if you have any tips on either, please feel free to contact me.

However, more immediately, I will be attending the WV GOP Summer platform convention and kickoff in my capacity as Campus Leader for the SCCC. The issue of whether to support Concealed Carry on campus in the WV GOP platform is up for a vote and I hope a personal appearance from someone in the movement will aid in the passing of this platform addition. This is a sample of the headway that our group is making, and if we keep it up, we may see some real change that will help keep us safe on college campuses.

Next on the list, the Presidential race. We have our 3 candidates now. We have Obama, who is a socialist who will take away every right you have, McCain is a hypocrite conservative who has just recently changed views so that he can run as a conservative. And of course we have Bob Barr, who is wrong on some things in my opinion, but at least he isn’t a hypocrite, or a socialist. Bob Barr stands up for his beliefs, and doesn’t play to the polls or what he thinks will help him win. He is the closest thing to a conservative candidate that America has, and as of right now, my support lies with him. Things could change before November, but as of right now, I have to support Bob Barr.

Be sure to check out his site-link on my home page to his- and even if you know your going to support McCain or Obama, check out your third option. You may be surprised.

Yours in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II.

If you don’t vote tomorrow, may the ghosts of all the dead people who are voting haunt you for one month.

They can’t get us in WV for disenfranchising voters! We even let dead people vote!

Ok, I’m through making fun of the state for now. “I see dead people”….VOTING!

Ok, now I’m done. Seriously though. Get out and vote. Republican and don’t like McCain? Join the club, vote for Ron Paul. PLEASE Do not vote for Huckabee, or Romney, or anyone else who has DROPPED OUT even if they would win majority votes, it would not do us any good. Want to do some good? Vote Ron Paul - never thought I would hear myself say that-. He cannot win either, but it will show a good amount of support that can be thrown over to Bob Barr, the libertarian candidate. The time to start third party politics is now. We need to have more than just your standard “this or that”, we need to have other choices, that represent all points of view. Don’t back people just because they are in your party. Back people because they have views that match your’s most closely. And if you really need someone to vote for, right me in on the republican ticket.

For some site news, You will note the last post I made has been edited…drastically. I read the post a couple days after I wrote it, and I discovered it made no sense to me. What I had written did not match experience, and this after me writing the same stuff for two years beforehand. So I am working on a new post, hopefully this one will be ok, even if it does take me forever to write it.
The other item for site news would be that I am looking to rename my site. Since the WVGOP Convention is over, it really makes no sense for the main tagline to be, “Phillip Williamson II for Logan County Delegate to the WV Republican Presidential Convention”. Help me out, give me some idea’s. Serious ideas preferably.

A good friend of mine in the republican party, whom I am not sure if I can mention his name or not, informed me that at the WVGOP platform meeting last week, the idea of supporting Concealed Carry on Campus was an issue for consideration to be inserted into the state GOP Platform. He told me the idea was well received, and will go to vote at the summer meeting (which I may have to go to now to influence people in the proper direction). I would like to thank my friend for doing this for me. It truly is an important issue that we students are being told we cannot defend ourselves on campus. We are not asking for anything atrocious, we merely wish to extend current concealed carry laws to college campuses.

Thats all for now. Remember. Go Vote!

Yours in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II

Greetings once again readers. I have a short bit of free time, during which I shall update this blog. We shall start with a change made to the main pages. I believe that I shall, for the moment, support Bob Barr for President. Barr is a member of the Libertarian party, and is probably the best candidate vs Hillary, Obama, or even McCain. Barr is for the freedom of all, and is a constitutionistalist akin to Ron Paul. Barr has not announced his candidacy officialy yet, but hopefully it is only a matter of time. My current plan is to remain a republican and vote for Ron Paul during the Primary -for what good that will do- Then during the general, I will vote for Bob Barr.

The only kink in this plan is that there are virtually no other republicans running for anything in my district, while there are many good conservative democrats. I have been toying with the idea of switching my affiliation for the primary, but I just haven’t decided yet. The Republican primary in my district has pretty much been decided as to who is running because only a few are. So theres my reasoning behind that.

In other Presidential candidate news, Mike Huckabee has a counter up on his website at http://mikehuckabee.com. Do you know what this is? I don’t. Its on tax day if that counts for anything. Have an idea? Let me know?

Now onto news about the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus -SCCC-. As many of you know, the main event of the organization is the nationwide Empty Holster Protest and to get as many students as possible involved in it. The amount of students shows a few things. That students desire the right to defend themselves on college campuses, and the number of people who would either be carrying, or merely support the right of people to carry. The main goal is to affect change at the state level, so that law will change and allow those of us with Conceal Carry Licenses/ Permits -CCL’s and CCP’s- to carry on campus as we can legally everywhere else. College campuses are public institutions paid for by our tax dollars, and as we see quite often, can be a dangerous place for young people. Infuse law abiding citizens with the ability to carry a weapon for the purpose of self defense, whether for a school shooting, a mugging, a rape, or any violent crime, and it equalizes the victim and the criminal, giving the victim a chance to defend themselves. I hope that all college students reading this will take part in the Empty Holster Protest.

Haven’t heard from me in a while have you? Thought you’d seen the last of me? No. However, I found something I had to share. Do not let your children watch this video. It contains hanging of Gays, decapitation of the enemy, mass killings, and very graphic scenes that should disturb even the most disturbed. This is the 15 minute movie Fitna, about the religion of islam.

I got to thinking today, that here I am, a decent moral person, and I have not one political party that I can truly support. It’s true. I decided to become a Republican at the age of 18 thinking that this was the party that would truly deliver the conservative values I hold dear to the public offices of the USA. Not merely economic issues, but also moral issues as well, such as the sanctity of unborn life for an example. That is the sole reason I became a Republican. I do not come from a family of republicans. I was the first Republican in my family. Others in my family followed my lead shortly after, thinking that this was really the party to support. After all, the national democratic party stands for all those things that we conservatives dislike. They believe that abortion is choice instead of murder, that those of us who work hard to earn a living should pay more taxes than those who lay around on their posteriors all day and “farm the mailbox”. They, in general, believe America is great not because of the hard working citizens or the documents that ensure equallity for all and that the true power belongs to the people, but that the more the government is involved, the greater things are because of more control over every day life, that it would be more orderly and safe for everyone.

 You know who else think that way? The Dark Lords of the Sith in Star Wars.

But I digress from my sci-fi examples. These past years since the Republicans came to power in the Congress have shown me that the Republican party I thought I was joining is filled with people who don’t subscribe to the party lines of lower taxes, smaller government and strong morals. While they were in power, government grew, taxes rose, and they did nothing that could have led the common Republican to believe that they were in office to serve the people instead of themselves. More recently we have had so many sex scandals with Republicans in office that it makes me cringe to think about it. What happened to the morals that we were supposed to be upholding? Has the idea that we can do anything we want in our private life so long as we live well in public so permeated our society that we have no one left who truly “walks the walk”? When I elect a Republican, I expect a person who not only says that he is a moral man who will fight for the unborn, family values, and lower Government involvement, but a man who actually believes those things in his public and private life. However, it seems that the party that I joined no longer exists. For President our party supports a man who won’t do anything about the border, only declare amnest for all Illegal aliens; who restricts free speech; and who, in general, is really a liberal fooling the republicans into thinking that he is a conservative.

I would really hate to think that the other option is true in this case. The option that Republicans truly see what this man is and still support him. That scares me more than people being fooled by him.

Who will I vote for? I haven’t decided yet. I honestly don’t know if I can support any candidate running.

Yours in Truth,
Phillip Williamson II
