ACTION

Interestingly  enough, when GWB was President the media published numbers of the military deaths in Iraq  and Afghanistan daily.  With Obama in the White House, the  mainstream media has been strangely quiet.
.More than 1,000  American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27  months.
This is more than the combined total of the nine years  before.
.Recently 50 additional NATO and US  servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
.Our Commander in Chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for Sikhs that were killed.
.There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent  incompetence of this President.
.No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this  war.
.Obama has had nearly 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed,  golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in  uniform.
But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a get out the vote drive against his party in the next election.
.Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest  group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of an election if they all  respond.
.The million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in this state if they all show up at the polls.
It might not keep hundreds more from dying between now and the next election,
but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
. Veterans:  Get the word out! High Priority!
 

I watched my neighborhood die from crack before my eyes, despite Samsonian effort.

Imagine my horror since the 90s as the pro-crack lobby walks over dead bodies of addicts and shooting victims to embrace the low lifes selling this poison and pulling triggers which killed them.

 

But, I'm not surprised.

 

Crack dealers disproportionately addict broke Black people; shoot broke Black people; destroy broke Black families and obliterate broke Black communities.

 

Liberals can't profit off crack dealer's body court, but they can profit from championing crack dealers, now painted as loveable young Black tykes who can walk on water after selling death to their peers.

 

President Obama recently gave clemency to eight " non-violent " drug offenders.

 

I love it when liberals call crack dealing " non violent " because even if the thug in question doesn't use a gun, the poison he sells creates zombies and urban dead zones for many years after some socialist pats him on the head and says it's alright.

 

Severe sentencing is the very least society can do to punish such brutal and expensive creating crime.

 

Mandatory minimum sentences provided an unlikely civil rights victory where those who harmed broke Black people actually faced serious penalties, instead of being let off with judicial slaps on the wrist. 

 

They arose from frantic cries from besieged inner cities in the 80s demanding the National Guard protect them from crack dealers poisoning and riddling their neighborhoods.

 

Broke Black life is very cheap, so cheap that even the biracial man calling himself our first Black president lowers it's value by granting clemency to dealers in federal prison.

 

But, he never watched his neighborhood die throughout America nor fight crack culture for 20 years.

 

Obama and the Left love crack dealers because that's the highest they feel most inner city Black men can rise, so they lower the bar accordingly.

The Holy War of sorts has begun and it took a man like Phil Robertson and Family from " Duck Dynasty" to ignite it. Finally we can get all the cards on the table. As to what has and is corrupting this Country and our Society as a whole. Immorality!!!!  No Moral Compass. This is why our God and Creator has turned away from us, Because we turned away from him first. It is now the time for Christians of all Faiths, and believers in God to come together and let their voices be heard. Phil was simply answering questions he was asked as open and honestly as he could. Does it surprise anyone that there are those who disagree with him in todays sinful society. Phil simply stated that Homosexuality is a Sin. And according to the Bible and God it is. Take Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19: 5-8 and Jude 7 confirm that the Sodomites were guilty of homosexuality. Both references, in their original Hebrew and Greek, use idiomatic language to identify and describe homosexual sin. In the Bible  God says its a Unnatural sexual immorality. An Abomination. Men were meant to be with women and vice versa. As one union to reproduce thus creating families. The homosexual who wants to consider themselves children of God also know that God has condemned homosexuality as a revolting sin and a perversion. " Shameful lusts," God's Apostle writes in Romans regarding homosexual attitudes. " Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another" " Do not be deceived ," Paul writes in 1 Corinthians ," Neither the sexually immoral...nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders... will inherit the Kingdom of God." Unless homosexuals repent, their sin will damn them.   The Homsexual who defends his way of life does violence to reason, to conscience, and to respect for Scripture. Whoever denies that homosexuality is a moral transgression is calling God a Liar. Phil answered the question right tho it might offend some .Homosexuality is a sin. However there are all kinds of sins , one no worse then the others. A sin is a sin. And we are all sinners. So lets not cast a bunch of stones here. We need to be careful. Only God has the right to Judge us.  And we all need to ask God for forgiveness and salvation in Jesus's name. We need to love our brothers and sisters regardless. No sin is unforgiveble. You can love the sinner and still not love or condone the sin. Granted the homosexuals want you to believe that their lifestyles are normal when we clearly know they are not. And that marriage in the eyes of God fall only between a man and a woman. Christians now is your time to speak up. Now is the time to proclaim the wotd of God. And time to get to the root of this Evil that has fallen on America ands its people. Lost Morality. And a lost connection to God. Thank Phil Robertson.

America must change

We, the America people, have a very serious problem in our economy and our nation. We’re going to have to change our attitudes and face some hard realities. Number one: We the people (each of us) are responsible for our country!!!!! In any civilization, past present or future, under any form of government, Pharaoh, dictator, king, ceasor, communism, socialism, parliament or congress there is only one person responsible and you can meet that person when you look in the minor to comb your hair shave your face or put on your makeup. When we abrogate our responsibilies to any form of government that government will eventually make us their pons and slaves and that is where we are in America today. Number two: You cannot turn a sex maniac loose in a whore house with a credit card. We in the United States have turned loose our congress, presidency, the fed and bureaucracy with our credit card. We have got to take that credit card back or we will never right our economy or our nation. Number three!! Government is not God; it only thinks it is God. Government is a tool a people of a nation use to do those activities that we can do more efficiently and effectively, collectively then we can do individually. Four: Bankruptcy is on its way!!!! Our Federal debt including all unfunded obligations exceeds the net worth of the USA. We have spent 100 years creating this debt, if you think our children are going to spend their lives paying it off, your nuts. Five: We have no leadership in America today. We have a President that is a committed socialist with a narcissistic personality disorder, a congress that is bought and paid for by vested interests (Many of the lobbyists are foreign countries.) and a federal reserve that is there for the 1% and the banking industry, not the American people.  It is up to us, we must solve the problem.

We have got to change our Constitution in a way that power is taken away from Government and makes the America people directly responsible.

1.       Taxes must be taken off of everything except final consumption - no person or item exempt – everyone pays. When a family goes to the grocery store and buys $100 in groceries and the checker add $30.00 for federal tax, $25.00 for state tax $5.00 for local taxes and $15.00 to pay off the federal debt (17 trillion, 15 year payout, 5% interest), $72 to payoff unfunded federal liabilities (127 trillion, 30 year payout, 5%interest), those groceries will cost you $247 dollars. You have a choice, do you want to feed your family or do you want to buy government? This final consumption taxation will make the American people face the real cost of government. And we must face that cost or we will never right ourselves. Congress buys their political power with our tax dollars and barrow money and we believe we are getting something for nothing. We are lying to ourselves!!!! Obamacare should indeed, make us realize that government cost money and more then we can afford. The above figures are for Cache country, North Logan, Utah, use your own pencil and do your own financial math, it is time to face reality!!!

There is another very good reason for final consumption tax only. With no taxes on business, cheap energy and low cost labor force, business and jobs will move to America and we need more jobs badly. 

2.     Take away the power of Congress to pass legislation. All legislation (bills) must come before the people to be approved or disapproved. We have the communications capacity via the internet, etc. to do this. Furthermore, all bills must be broken down by item and a cost must be accessed to each item. We need line item voting power. The bill must be written in understandable English!

3.     Any person or group, who can obtain 3% of the registered voter’s signatures, can design and/or present a bill (legislation) to congress. . Congress must debate, approve or disapprove legislation; however, again the people must approve or disapprove the legislation.

4.     We need an accounting system that is as accurate as possible, so Americans know where their tax money is going and can make decisions. 

With these new Constitutional tools, there will be 320 million Americans who will decide now they want to spend their tax dollars. The American people could cut government spending by 35 to 50% and increase the productive of our tax dollars and economy by 200 to 400%. We are living in a rapidly changing technological, economic, political and demographic world and we must be able to adjust to that world. We need advance our liberty, democracy, freedoms and be able to pursue our own happiness. Or we become slaves to our government.

 There is no way the United States Congress is going to solve our problems. The American people are going to have to do it themselves. We are going to have to change our Constitution. There is no other way.

There is a move afoot for a Convention of States for proposing amendments to the Constitution. The ruling class doesn't uphold the Constitution now. Will they uphold it if we propose more amendments? I doubt it.
I would only support 4 amendments.
1. Repeal the 16th Amendment and abolish the IRS. Go to a flat or fair tax system.
2. Repeal the 17th Amendment and put that key check on federal power back in the hands of the states. If a senator appointed by their respective state legislature doesn't represent the interest of the state and not the federal government, he or she can be recalled immediately.
3. Balanced budget amendment where the federal government cannot spend more than it takes in. But, that must include a limit, as a percentage of GDP, how much the government can spend.
4. Term limits on Supreme Court justices. Presidents like Obama can't pack the court with Liberal judges that erode the core of this country for generations.u do for America today?

The Tea Party is my haven of like minded thinkers. I have come here to tell my story to those of you who I know do care about illegal immigration and its effect on less fortunate Americans. Many of whom were born into poverty and are seeing foreigners invading their country and taking jobs that should be available to our citizens first... last... and always. Our children have had an enormous debt thrust upon them and still must have their daily bread. I am an angry 55 year old American peon that intends for the horror story of his last ten years of life become known to the citizens firsthand, to be judged by you. It begins here and now. I am applying for the position of poster child in this fight. The attached resume' is impressive. My experience will likely turn your stomach and serve as food for thought, if you mange to keep it down.. I have embarked on a grass roots campaign in an effort to have some sort of positive and thought inspiring impact on the problem of illegal immigration. I make a humble request that you visit my link to this campaign, view consider and share. NEMO PRASENS NISI INTELLIGAT or simply put; one who is present understands. I wish to extend to all members of The Tea Party along with happenstance viewers a safe and MERRY CHRISTMAS. " GOD: Grant me the SERENITY to ACCEPT the things I CANNOT CHANGE. The COURAGE to CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN, and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE" AMEN. God Bless the USA. Those who do not like these words or my actions can proceed straight to Hell. Thank You from someone who appreciates his roots in the land of the free and home of the brave.      https://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/d6b514d2

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Scott Henson @ "Grits For Breakfast reported this week that a Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruling has allowed "...another court-created federal exception to the exclusionary rule in state-level search and seizure cases that allows evidence to be admitted in the face of clear police misconduct, even though Texas has a statutory exclusionary rule that - unlike the court-created federal version - includes no exceptions on its face..."

Henson says:

"...The case - Wehrenberg v. State - involved a drug bust in Parker County in which officers received a tip from a confidential informant that the defendant and others were "fixing to" cook meth later that evening. Three or four hours later, after midnight, officers illegally entered Mr. Wehrenberg's residence "without a search warrant and without consent," handcuffing everyone inside and escorting them all into the front yard, conducting a "protective sweep" of the house. Then they held everyone outside in handcuffs for an hour and a half while one of the officers went to find a judge to secure a search warrant. The search warrant affidavit did not inform the judge that officers had already entered the premises and detained everyone found in the house. The judge issued a warrant, police found contraband, and charged Mr. Wehrenberg with a second degree felony, for which he was convicted..."

In a nut-shell, cops allegedly lied to a judge to get a warrant.  Ostensibly and arguably, as the defense might have contended, the "evidence" seized was taken illegally and should not have been allowed.

Yes, there was a crime allegedly committed or about to be committed, and the argument that judicial action was warranted in order to thwart that crime was warranted might pass inspection at the muster of those same troopers that contend the ends justifies the means.  But what if this becomes a precedent for law enforcement to target someone for political reasons?

Sound familiar?

Just look at what happened with the NSA. Ostensibly NSA'ers were given permission to spy on terrorists via electronic means. Somehow, the geniuses at the NSA, fueled by the enthusiasm of the new toys of digital espionage, extrapolated that they could spy on Americans just "cuz" you never know who might be plotting what. And of course, they even got a special court to decide when it was ok to do that, which from what most now are able to discern, is, anytime they feel like it.

Partner that with the fact that Congressional oversight committee members get campaign contributions from government "intelligence" contractors, and there you have a hot recipe for an illegal plate of enchiladas certain to result in a severe case of Constitutional indigestion.

Where should the lines get drawn then?  At the local and state level?  Or at the point where you have wholesale violation of Constitutional rights being violated for "national security" reasons.

When does it become "too late?" to restore your Freedoms?

And, as Henson writes,

"...In that light, whether or not the majority's hair-splitting legalisms are valid, the net effect of the ruling in this particular instance was to allow police to gloss over actions that everyone agrees were illegal conduct. Bottom line: In Texas, if citizens break the law, they go to jail. If police break the law, some activist judge will find or create a reason to excuse their misbehavior, which is precisely what happened in this case..."

And at the federal level, when it involves your "national security," when millions of Americans are being subjected to violations of privacy, and with respect to the possession of their information, illegal search and seizure, shall we just twiddle our thumbs and turn the nation back over to King George?

'Duck Dynasty' star, Phil Robertson, has been suspended by A&E for sharing his personal Constitutional and Biblical beliefs.

How many other Christian values are being rejected in TV programming?

Homosexuality and lesbian’s lifestyle is being ‘crammed down our throats’; as Christians are being forced to accept their lifestyle as normal even though this activity is immoral, unethical, and unhealthy.

How can Preachers and/or Christians explain the Bible, otherwise; the governing Book our Founding Fathers used in ‘creating’ our US Constitution?  Read (y)our Bible, Constitution, and the Federalist Papers!

Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) 22  Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 (KJV) 13  If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) 26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:26-27 (KJV) 26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

A&E must reevalute their ‘unlawful’ decision, apologize to Phil Robertson, and reinstate his television show.

I recently read a post, on one of my numerous Conservative newletters that reported over 100 individual legislators from either 32 or 34 of the states had conviened a meeting in Mt. Vernon.  The focus of the meeting was to discuss and establish rules and procedures for the conduct and the calling of a Constitutional Convention.  While I have done some internet searches and found a number of story links, none give a list of those in attendance or the individual states they represent.  What is the story?  Does anyone have more info?  As a California resident I'm pretty much out in the cold when it comes to my political leanings.  We do have some conservatives, but I don't know if any were involved.

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Democrats did not follow ‘Rule 22’ requiring a 3/5 vote to make Senate changes in approving President Obama’s Judicial nominees.  President Obama is appointing Judicial nominees with more ‘left-wing’ political views that may be inserted within their rulings’ as he/she rules.  Senate Democrats are approving these Obama nominees; loading up our Federal Courts across America with President Obama’s Judicial nominees whom likely will ‘order’ for more anti-Constitution and more anti-American assessments as more well-defined by our Founding Fathers.

Furthermore, Sen. Reid and Senate Democrats change of ‘Rule 22’ has already been expanded to include other legislation(s).  Our Founding Fathers anticipated, proposed, and included a ‘filibuster’ measure, with their signatures, as a protection to guard ‘WE, THE PEOPLE’ from change(s) made by a ‘radical’ government.

Under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) and the Senate majority Democrat Party’s change to stop all ‘filibusters’, Sen. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats ‘crammed more Liberalism and anti-Constitutional’ positions down (y)our throats without any right to object’; even for 49 of the 100 US Senators. 

Sen. Reid and Senate Democrats Constitutional changes would have required a 3/5 vote of approval for ‘Rule 22’ Senate changes.

Dianne Feinstein, member of the United States Senate. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein said today that the Judge that ruled that the National Security Agency's records collection program was unconstitutional, is wrong in his ruling.

Feinstein issued a statement saying:

"...Judge Leon made a preliminary ruling yesterday that the NSA business records program may be unconstitutional. The preliminary injunction was stayed pending appeal by the government...It should be noted that last month Judge Jeffrey Miller of the Southern District of California found the NSA business records program to be constitutional...Judge Miller was ruling on a real world terrorist case involving the February 2013 conviction of Basaaly Moalin and three others for conspiracy and providing material support to the Somali terrorist organization Al-Shabaab. In that case, the NSA provided the FBI with information gleaned from an NSA query (under Section 215) of the call records database that established a connection between a San Diego-based number and a number known to be used by a terrorist with ties to al Qaeda..."

Feinstein said that:

"...In upholding these convictions, Judge Miller cited Smith v. Maryland (1979) the controlling legal precedent and held the defendants had ‘no legitimate expectation of privacy’ over the type of telephone metadata acquired by the government—which is the ‘to’ and ‘from’ phone numbers of a call, its time, its date and its duration. There is no content, no names and no locational information acquired...Judge Leon’s opinion also differs from those of at least 15 separate federal district court judges who sit, or have sat, on the FISA Court and have reauthorized the program every 90 days—a total 35 times in all...Clearly we have competing decisions from those of at least three different courts (the FISA Court, the D.C. District Court and the Southern District of California). I have found the analysis by the FISA Court, the Southern District of California and the position of the Department of Justice, based on the Supreme Court decision in Smith, to be compelling..."

Feinstein asserted that only the Supreme Court can resolve the question on the constitutionality of the NSA's program. She said she welcomed a Supreme Court review since it had been more than 30 years since the court's original decision on constitutionality, and she believes it is crucial to settling the issue once and for all.

But in yesterday's ruling, Judge Leon was adamant and although he kept his decision from being acted upon immediately, he indicated he was certain the Supreme Court would uphold his decision. He wrote:

"...in light of the significant national security interests at stake in this case and the novelty of the constitutional issues, I will stay my order pending appeal.  In doing so, I hereby give the Government fair notice that should my ruling be upheld,this order will go into effect forthwith.  Accordingly, I fully expect that during the appellate process, which will consume at least the next six months, the Government will take whatever steps necessary to prepare itself to complyh with this order when, and if, it is upheld.  Suffice it to say, requesting further time to comply with this order months from now will not be well received and could result in collateral sanctions..."

Not included in that debate between Senator Feinstein and Judge Leon, is the "Maplight" factor, which examined campaign contributions to members of the intelligence committee by businesses which had been granted contracts by the National Security agency. While this is not illegal, it calls into question the ethics, morals and motives of those serving on intelligence oversight committees, which are tasked with monitoring and controlling intelligence activities by contractors and the National Security Agency.

The article (which you can see HERE)    reports that companies "....receiving intelligence contracts are major donors to members of the intelligence committees, including L-3 Communications, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Honeywell International...Campaign contributions amount to $3.7 million.

Another article in Maplight, by Donny Shaw reveals that Senator Feinstein has received 3 times more money from top intelligence service contractors than Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont.  (See that breakdown HERE)...

"...Feinstein has continually defended the legality of the phone records program and at a hearing earlier this month said, 'I will do everything I can to keep this program from being cancelled out...to destroy it is to make this nation more vulnerable.'..."

Feinstein asserts further that in spite of Judge Leon's ruling:

"...the call records program remains in effect...Those of us who support the call records program do so with a sincere belief that it, along with other programs, is constitutional and helps keep the country safe from attack. I believe the program can benefit from additional transparency and privacy protections—including additional public reporting and added court review provisions which were recently adopted by the Senate Intelligence Committee in the bipartisan FISA Improvements Act.”

Still another factor is President Obama's recent appointment of Patricia Millet to the Appeals Court for the District of Columbia, which rules on the legality of White House actions and federal agency regulations, an appointment that gives that court a 5-4 majority in favor of Democrat appointments.

Another possible twist in they dynamics of this development is that the political "Left" has demonstrated noticeable opposition to NSA spying programs, and may add its argument and political force toward getting the unconstitutionality of the NSA programs upheld.

Edward_Snowden- Pryed open the door on massive NSA collection of Millions of American

Phone Records – photo credit – Wikipedia

Are your private conversations safe from Obama administration NSA snooping? According to a U.S. federal judge, your “U.S. Constitutional rights are being violated daily by the collecting of dialing records of all U.S. calls in America,” according to the LA Times. It appears that the Fourth Amendment’s strict ban on unreasonable searches by government was abolished by the NSA massive data collection efforts, suggests the court.

This marks the first time in the history of the nation that a federal judge has ruled that the collection of these records were not within the scope of the government legitimate right to collect possibly invasive private phone data. The court stated that the rights of innocent Americans not under suspicion of terrorist activities should be protected. U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon was clear about the possible violation of the Constitutional rights of Americans by NSA surveillance activities.

The top secret data mining activities came to light earlier in the year due to the public revelations of former NSA analyst Edward Snowden. Judge Leon stressed, “Today’s computerized gathering of all dialing records represents a new threat to privacy that was not fully recognized in the past,” according to the LA Times.

" The Hood doesn't need martial law nor vigilantism but it does need to make allies in law enforcement and prosecutor's offices and promote recognition that law abiding Blacks are often the only keepers of the peace in unruly areas since police can't be everywhere. "

The ( MMA worthy ) beat down a now-fired Seattle bus driver administered to a thug who spat in his face serves pugilistic notice that the Hood is a dangerous, disrespectful place!

Look at the footage and judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sayg2Uf0U1Q
*Please note the thug in question kept saying, " Kill yourself! " as the driver told him to leave the bus.

Law abiding Black folks face verbal ( and physical! ) abuse from youth I've called in the past, " Chocolate Klansmen. "

I was reminded of another viral incident, where a former manager in a thug-ridden, downtown Atlanta mall tased a violently disruptive woman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DrzCVAJtDw

The same Black community which fills the streets over police brutality doesn't march against this violent, vulgar mindset literally killing the Hood daily!

I've shared similar unpleasant circumstances more times than I can count and know too well the Catch 22 law abiding Blacks face:

If we use force to quell this element, police will often arrest us, sometimes along with the trouble maker, sometimes not.

A close friend and fellow anti crime activist was arrested in New Orleans for fighting a drug dealer who refused to stop selling in front of his restaurant; threatened his life and had drugs on his person while violating probation???

The Hood doesn't need martial law nor vigilantism but it does need to make allies in law enforcement and prosecutor's offices and promote recognition that law abiding Blacks are often the only keepers of the peace in unruly areas since police can't be everywhere.

In both these video taped instances, neither man initiated the assault but both, the mall manager later on, lost their jobs because they fought back against thugs in their vicinity.

Equal application of self defense law is one the high hurdles of insuring color blind public safety.

Should law abiding Blacks passively endure assault, despite state laws which theoretically state they have a right to defend themselves... or does that apply only to other citizens.

Waiting in the wings to this question's answer is  not only a safer, more self-secured Hood, but also a Heartland less imperiled by thugs exporting inner city violence and vulgarity!
