The Constitution Party candidate for president says the biggest danger America faces is from Washington, D.C., not Tehran or Baghdad, and that he would jump at the opportunity to cut it down to size.
"I really believe that our nation is fast becoming a nation that does not respect the freedoms and liberties that this country was founded upon," Chuck Baldwin told WND in an exclusive one-on-one interview today. "George Bush's Patriot Act ... in essence eviscerated the Fourth Amendment and did serious damage to other amendments in the Bill of Rights. I do believe that this burgeoning North American Union that Dr. Corsi has written so much about ... is a real threat to our national sovereignty and our national independence."
Baldwin, picked the party's candidate recently at its national convention in Kansas City over the higher-profile Ambassador Alan Keyes, is the founder and pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Fla. He also hosts a weekly radio program called "Chuck Baldwin Live" and he serves as a columnist whose political commentaries are carried by a number of websites, newspapers and magazines.
Baldwin also has written two books, "Subjects Seldom Spoken On" and "This Is The Life," as well as a number of theological booklets. He also was the Constitution Party's vice presidential candidate in 2004.

Keep shouting into the wind.
McCain ‘08 in a landslide.
You can’t stop it.
Well, maybe, be every time McPain opens his mouth, he seems to be saying to conservatives “Don’t vote for me!”
McCain’s policies are OK for the most part.
It’s his “maverick” mouth keeps getting him in trouble.
He seems to have been reined in by his advisors a bit after the idiot “out of touch” gaffe.
Bush Bashing. I guess the democratic ticket is too crowded.
Terrorists we can handle. The Russians, Iranians, North Koreans and the Chinese we can handle. Publik skools are the single greatest threat to the future of this nation because we are being defeated by Leftists from within. The damage that is being done, and has been being done for 30 years, will take decades to overcome, assuming we can correct the mistakes and attitudes that are being promoted daily in our public school system. We've lost most of a generation to these Socialist clowns. Everybody, especially those with school aged kids, need to take notice.......
Right. Baldwin’s attacks on Bush vs the RATS, LIBERALS, ETC. are about 500 to 1. What a jerk...
Senator McCain has been quite vocal about wanting to be everyone’s candidate: the Democrat’s, the center’s, the left, etc.
In the meantime, he’s not yet officially the Republican candidate, and we’d like him to be a Republican candidate that’s not ashamed of his party. Explaining that he will be “everyone’s” President should be reserved for the national campaign against the Democrats, it is not the best way to win over reluctant Conservatives, much less our divided Republicans.
As has been pointed out many times by Conservative and Republican leaders - most notably Ronald Reagan - we must emphasize out differences from the Democrats. Values and issues drive us as strongly as they do the Democrats - and the Senator would do well to note how many of our core Republican values are shared by the Democratic voters, if not the leaders: basic beliefs on Family, life, and security, as well as taxes and freedom. If he doesn’t sell these, we will get the First Woman or First Black President who isn’t seen as “only slightly the lesser of two evils” by (former) members of his own party who just stay home in a repeat of 2006.
Senator McCain needs to begin to read the Republican platform and to stop promising any part of the Democratic Platform.
I agree with you completely, but there are 100% conservatives, libertarians, even anarchists out there who STILL keep sending their kids to public schools.
Even some freepers do it.
Therefore I am not hopeful.
President “Chuck”? Well I guess it worked for “Bill” Clinton. Why have we become such a casual society?
Neither am I, but I recently spent some time with a group of Civil Air Patrol Cadets that brightened my outlook somewhat. I did a little show and tell with my motorglider at the request of the CAP Squadron Commander, whom I met through a mutual friend/flight instructor. I was thoroughly impressed with these kids. They were bright, polite and inquisitive. At the end of my little dog and pony show I asked how many were home schooled. 11 out of 15 were home schooled and the other four were attending private school. Kinda says it all.....
You mean like Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt?
Who the heck is Chuck Baldwin? I thought “Ambassador” Keyes was their candidate.
I'm not sure which is the most dangerous--public education or liberal churches. The danger of liberal churches is greatly overlooked.
“McCain ‘08 in a landslide.
You can’t stop it.”
Well, since it is going to be a landslide, he won’t need my vote. I think I’ll just write in Tom Tancredo.
I think they decided Mr. Keyes wasn't quite irrelevant enough.
I'm not a Keyes supporter, but I take offense at your statement. Alan Keyes is perhaps the most irrelevant man in America.
LOL! I was just trying to be flip...I agree with you!
