Disgraceful anti-American propagandist with the audacity to call their self a teacher are actually brainwashing school children. Jesus said, it would be better to have a huge rock tied around your neck and cast into the sea than to harm a child.
Mark Tapson wrote: …that we actually now need school counselors to deal with students “troubled” by gun-shaped pastry? The truth of the matter is that children are not troubled by such incidents at all; it’s progressive adults who, in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting and the subsequent opportunism of the Obama administration, have whipped themselves into an irrational state of pacifist horror unmatched in the history of humankind. How America’s enemies must be exulting over the extent to which the most powerful nation on earth has been emasculated by cultural Marxism’s political correctness.
As Mark Tapson wrote in his previous piece about the brainwashing of our children, the left does not want American citizens to own guns. They want to mold future generations into a helpless citizenry that entrusts its protection to the well-armed State. The radical left is hell-bent on subverting our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, because that right stands in the way of their tyrannical ambitions.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Read all the way down, good info to think about. It will make you think..
Do you know who Juval Aviv is? He was Golda Meir's bodyguard and the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ' Munich ' was based. Golda Meir appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games. In a lecture in New York City a few weeks ago, Aviv shared information that EVERY American needs to know, but that our government has not yet shared with us.
A little background: Aviv predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News, stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed and mocked him, saying that in a week he wanted Aviv back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred. Juval Aviv also gave intelligence to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His report specifically said that they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments... I think we all know what happened, right? Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Aviv predicts that the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try hijacking a plane again as they know the people on board will never go down quietly again. Aviv says that our airport security is a joke – that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example, because an idiot tried to light his shoe on fire, now everyone has to take off their shoes. Example 2: a group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives, and now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; government security will then have us all traveling naked! Last but not least, our airport security looks for metal, but the new explosives are made of plastic!

Last but not least, our airport security looks for metal, but the new explosives are made of plastic!
Currently, our government only focuses on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. For example, it would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel , security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate, such as Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as in rural America this time (Wyoming, Montana, etc.). The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas , they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U.S. Government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts. The world, however, is soon going to become 'a different place', Aviv says, where issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will have become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, Aviv says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked. He says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. Instead, they like to use suicide, as it's cheap, it's easy, and it's effective – and they have an infinite abundance of young, ignorant, fanatic militants more than willing to 'go see Allah'.
Aviv also says the next level of terrorists over which America should be most concerned will not be coming from abroad. They will instead be 'home grown' – meaning they will have attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.

So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for its intelligence. Instead, we need to follow Israel 's, Ireland 's and England 's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to trust 'aware' citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U.S. Government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for Congress by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago , someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves. But, unfortunately, America hasn't been 'hurt enough' yet by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's the citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.

Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, children who were basically 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until their parents could get there . (In New York City , in some cases this was days!) He stresses the importance of having a plan that's agreed upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel . He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? Aviv says that the U.S. Government has in force a plan that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated. How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot use phones, internet? Bottom line, you need to have a plan!
If you believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send it to every concerned parent or guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whatever and whomever.

The situation in our nation today takes me back many years to the early days of a sit-com called “The Beverly Hillbillies”. I remember the Clampetts hooking up with “Honest John” Shafer, played by long time comedian Phil Silvers. “Honest John” sold them every monument in Washington, D C (De Cesspool). Those “dumb ole’ Clampetts” just kept giving Honest John” Shafer checks made out to “C.A.S.H.” If you grew up with the Clampetts, Milburn Drysdale, and Jane Hathaway you will understand. Congress and the ruling elite are “Honest John” Shafer and We the People are the Clampetts. We are being conned by experts who make it their lifelong career to scam us into giving them everything we have while thinking they are taking care of us and “looking out for our best interests”.

Sen. Rand Paul: My filibuster was just the beginning
Rand Paul, a Republican, is a U.S. senator from Kentucky.
If I had planned to speak for 13 hours when I took the Senate floor Wednesday, I would’ve worn more comfortable shoes. I started my filibuster with the words, “I rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination for the CIA. I will speak until I can no longer speak” — and I meant it.
I wanted to sound an alarm bell from coast to coast. I wanted everybody to know that our Constitution is precious and that no American should be killed by a drone without first being charged with a crime. As Americans, we have fought long and hard for the Bill of Rights. The idea that no person shall be held without due process, and that no person shall be held for a capital offense without being indicted, is a founding American principle and a basic right.
My official starting time was 11:47 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6, 2013.
I had a large binder of materials to help me get through my points, but although I sometimes read an op-ed or prepared remarks in between my thoughts, most of my filibuster was off the top of my head and straight from my heart. From 1 to 2 p.m., I barely looked at my notes. I wanted to make sure that I touched every point and fully explained why I was demanding more information from the White House.
Just before 3 p.m., Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) came to the Senate floor to help out. Under Senate rules, I could not yield the floor or my filibuster would end, and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) could have shut me down. The only way for me to continue and allow Sens. Lee and Cruz to speak was to yield the floor for questions.
Their presence gave me strength and inspiration. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) also arrived to help. Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the only Democrat who came to my defense, explained how we have worked together to demand more information from the White House about the rules for drone strikes. At about 4:30 p.m., Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) joined. I was flagging for a while, but these senators kept me going.
Sen. Reid came to the Senate floor to ask me when I would be done so he could schedule a vote. But I wasn’t ready to yield. I felt I had a lot more explaining to do.
At about 6:30 p.m., something extraordinary happened. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who has been recovering from a stroke, came to the floor to give me something. I was not allowed to drink anything but water or eat anything but the candy left in our Senate desks. But he brought me an apple and a thermos full of tea — the same sustenance Jimmy Stewart brought to the Senate floor in the movie “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” That was a moment I will never forget.
Sen. Cruz came to the floor again just before 7:30 p.m. and said, “Given that the Senate rules do not allow for the use of cellular phones on the floor of the Senate, I feel quite confident that the senator from Kentucky is not aware of the Twitter-verse that has been exploding.”
I had little idea of what was going on. I was allowed only to talk and listen to questions. As I started to walk around the Senate chamber to loosen up my legs, I was energized by the responses on Twitter. Sen. Cruz really lifted my spirits when he read the tweets.
The question was recently asked by the mass media if the Texas Nationalist Movement is becoming a political force.
On March 7, 2013, State Representative James White filed House Concurrent Resolution 77. The text of the bill is as follows:
WHEREAS, The Republic of Texas existed as an independent nation for nine years, and when it accepted admission to the Union in 1845, it remained a free and independent state subject only to the United States Constitution; and
WHEREAS, The United States Congress has passed laws requiring Texas to make expenditures that are unfunded by the federal government, which is a violation of the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; moreover, the federal government has caused the intentional devaluation of its currency through its reckless spending and borrowing, and this threatens the economic stability of Texas; and
WHEREAS, The United States government has allowed the use of its authority, credit, and goodwill for the benefit of private and foreign concerns in violation of its own constitution; in addition, its repeated failure to guard the border between Texas and Mexico has forced the state to spend vast sums in order to protect its citizens; and
WHEREAS, The federal government has further implemented thousands of laws, mandates, and agencies in violation of the United States Constitution and of the sovereignty of the State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, Section 1, Article I, Texas Constitution, states that "the perpetuity of the Union depend[s] upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States"; Section 2, Article I, declares, "All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient"; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas hereby reaffirm the state's sovereignty under the Texas Constitution and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
Members of the Texas Nationalist Movement and the general public will recognize the text of this legislation as a virtual duplicate of the legislation proposed by the TNM to the 82nd Legislature and hand delivered to members of the Texas House of Representatives, the Texas Senate and the Lieutenant Governor on the opening day of the 83rd session of the Legislature. An exact PDF copy of our delivered proposal is available at this link: http://www.texnat.org/independence-referendum-bill.pdf
After TNM's extensive meetings with members of both houses, State Representative James White filed HCR 77 containing all of the components of our proposed legislation with one exception. This legislation does not call for a referendum on the issue of independence.
While we in the Texas Nationalist Movement are disappointed that the legislators have declined at this time to give the people of Texas a measurable voice on the issue of independence in accordance with Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution, we are pleased that this legislation was filed.
Although this seems to be merely another resolution, this legislation is quite different than any filed before on this particular issue.
In addition to the usual citations of Federal government overreach, this is the first sovereignty legislation that contains an explicit mention of the Article 1 Section 1 of the Texas Constitution which contains the phrase "(the) perpetuity of the Union depend(s) upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States."
This is also the first piece of sovereignty legislation that contains an acknowledgement of the right of the people to "reform, alter or abolish their form of government" as stated in Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution.
The inclusion of these two provisions is extremely important to the Texas Nationalist Movement as we move forward and represents an interim victory for the people of Texas.
We encourage everyone to contact their respective State Representatives and State Senators to demand that they support HCR 77 beginning on March 12, 2013. Further, we encourage the Governor and the Lt. Governor to publicly support the passage of this piece of legislation. Not only does it make sense for Texas, it is required by their oath of office.
In addition, we call on all Texans who believe and want to work for the independence of Texas to join with us at http://www.texasnationalist.com/join.
Senator John McCain (R, AZ) continues his criticism of fellow Republicans for filibustering confirmation of CIA Director John O. Brennan over the White House’s drone policy.
While interviewing with the Huffington Post, McCain used the term “wackos” to describe Senator Rand Paul (R, KY), Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX) and Representative Justin Amash (R, MI).
“They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else…But I also think that when, you know, it’s always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone,” said McCain.
When pressed for clarification on who the wackos are, McCain responded “Rand Paul, Cruz, Amash, whoever.”
It seems like just yesterday that McCain was relishing his role as maverick, while using the megaphone provided him by the media to gain the 2008 GOP presidential nomination.
Some Republicans, led by McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham (R, SC), worry that the filibuster, which focused lots of positive attention on Paul, might end up reflecting poorly on the party.
Might these be the same Republicans who nominated Gerald Ford in 1976, sought to nominate John Connally or George H.W. Bush while opposing Ronald Reagan in 1980, nominated Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney?
Clearly, the most successful nominee in that bunch was the most Conservative: Reagan. That the GOP continues to cling to the notion that presidential electoral success hinges on nominating the most moderate candidate largely explains their lack of recent success.
To his credit, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who may prove to fit into the Conservative new blood category, described the filibuster as “completely awesome.”
Meanwhile, in a radio interview with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Paul responded to McCain: “You know, I think he’s just on the wrong side of history, and on the wrong side of this argument, really.”
Paul continued by saying he respects both McCain’s military service and his legislative record, but stressed that McCain’s experience does not mean he is always right: “I treat Senator McCain with respect. I don’t think I always get the same in return.”
Americans on both sides of the aisle honor McCain for his service. However, McCain must realize that it is time to pass the torch of leadership to a new generation of Conservative leaders demonstrably capable of filling his seemingly vacated role as maverick while leading Republicans to electoral victory.

I am having difficulty understanding why impeachment procedures have not yet begun. It has been proven through Mr. Obama's own statements as well as his actions that he has outright lied to the American people and along with lying his actions show that he is intentionally causing pain to the the people.
I believe I read one time, years ago, that both of these actions was an impeachable offense if done by the POTUS. Does anyone know, or can explain to me, why impeachment procedures haven't been implemented? I mean besides the obvious.......our Congress has no backbone, save for a few.
Richard Nixon lied to the American people............Impeached, Bill Clinton lied to the American people..........impeached, Barack Obama lied, and is deliberately causing pain to the American people.........let's get on with it!
Marriage is defined as the union of a man and woman for life. The way a man and woman's body are formed is evidence of this natural union (versus unnatural unions). Everything else is not a real marriage but instead a civil union or some other term offerring protection under the law. The Obama administration in trying to slam dunk this issue in the Supreme Court to force Virginia and most other States to strike down their own marriage legislation and it is the highest assault an administration has ever made on America and the Church.
Marriage is sacred in the Church and Obama's actions are harming the civil rights of one class of people while advancing his agenda for another (win-lose) while the right thing to do is win-win where marriage remains between a man and a woman and civil unions cover everything else. Quite frankly I am ashamed of Obama and pray for the day his remaining term is over for the sake of a once great nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for all (win-win). rz
To the Editor or Program Manager,
I believe the general public - who does not follow current events or politics other than what they see in the news - needs to hear what Senator Dianne Feinstein said yesterday on the Senate floor...
What she said exposes an agenda no one has really looked at or made comment of - and for Military Veterans, of which San Antonio has a very large population, should know and pay attention.
In a nutshell and transliterating, Senator Feinstein stated all Military Veterans suffer from PTSD and should not be allowed to own firearms - she seeks to strip the 2nd Amendment rights from all Veterans!
I question how any Citizen who respects Veterans of any Service for the sacrifices they have made in their families, health and sometimes their life - can tolerate this kind of statement from a person elected to Congress.
I grant that Senator Feinstein's "assault weapons ban" will likely be voted down and become a non-issue - but I charge the Media to focus on what is said in Congress, the people who are making these statements contrary to the rule of law and our Constitution.
What Senator Dianne Feinstein said needs to be heard by the people of our City. It should be heard Nation-wide...
For additional information, please Google "IA-0257-09" and discover the document created in 2009 by the Department of Homeland Security which defines our government's ideas who a "terrorist" is nowadays... it is chilling in the extreme and it notably does not include the conventional definition of a terrorist.

Another Letter to Florida US Representative Bill Posey, US Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson.
Date : 03/08/2013 time - 10:00 am
Issue: Do not cave in to criminal Obama.
---------------------------------------------------------
Do not let the criminal in our Oval Office control this government any longer.
Please work with all your power to remove the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT that now holds that office.
Every Representative should be ashamed of the scam pulled on the US Citizens by the Democratic Representatives. Obama has never been a legal candidate for the Presidency AND YOU ALL ARE LETTING THIS CRIMINAL CONTINUE THE CRIMES AGAINST THIS COUNTRY.
There were lawyers trying to correct this crime but were screwed over by infiltrating criminals in the US Supreme Court that prevented the information getting to all the Justices...even the ones placed in position by the criminal in office.
I want answers to this serious issue. Obama is proven born in Kenya, records are in England, Obama was/is a citizen of Indonesia, Obama's birth certificate is a fraud, Obama's Selective Service document is a fraud AND WE HAVE A FRAUD TRYING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY.
I want charges for impeachment and/or treason against the United States against Obama filed immediately.
NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING MAKE ALL THE REPRESENTATIVES COMPLICIT IN THIS CRIME AND EVERY ONE OF THEM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALLOWING THIS CRIME TO CONTINUE.
I will be sharing this same letter on my Facebook and other social media sites as my normal procedure. I have hundreds of friends and they have hundreds of friends.
I will also be sending this same letter to Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson.
A very disgusted tax paying citizen of this country,

It took great courage for this Democrat to make his stand with Rand Paul. I commend him.
Even Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon joined in the filibuster
NO IFS,ANDS,OR DEMOCRATS!
Some of Senator Rand Paul’s (R, KY) colleagues were left unimpressed by Wednesday’s filibuster. The day following Paul’s action, Senators John McCain (R, AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC) criticized him, saying Paul was doing a “disservice” to the debate about drones.
When was the last time either McCain or Graham raised concerns over the White House’s use of drones?
“I don’t think what happened yesterday was helpful to the American people…What we saw yesterday is going to give ammunition to those who say the rules of the Senate are being abused,” McCain said.
Since when is proper use of the Senate filibuster abuse? McCain seems more concerned with getting along with “progressives” in the Senate than preserving the United States Constitution.
Paul was attempting to get the Obama administration to confirm it will not kill non-combatant Americans within the United States. Graham apparently viewed that as a farcical question.
“I do not believe that question deserves an answer,” Graham stated.
What question would Graham consider worthy of reply? Do assurances from the DOJ that they will not selectively ignore constitutionally protected rights of American Citizens to judicial due process not qualify?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2013/mar/7/graham-mccain-blast-paul-filibuster/
Concerns over the administration’s drone program led lawmakers to question Attorney General Eric Holder about legal justification for targeting American Citizens. Similar concerns prompted Paul to begin his filibuster, demanding answers from the White House. Paul said he would relent only if the Obama administration stated publically that it will not target Americans on American soil.
The administration apparently believed it could kill Americans it suspected of having terrorist ties without putting them on trial.
Concerns over protection of due process for American Citizens are bipartisan.
“You can hear almost unanimous concern about transparency and wrestling with how to move forward here in a way that protects both our constitutional liberties and our security as a nation,” Senator Christopher A. Coons (D, DE) told Holder.
Under careful examination by Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX), Holder repeatedly stated U.S Citizens on American soil were not “appropriate” targets for executions without due judicial process. Cruz said that was an insufficient answer. “You keep saying ‘appropriate.’ My question isn’t about propriety. My question is about whether something is constitutional or not,” said Cruz.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/6/rand-paul-filibusters-brennan-nomination-cia-direc/
McCain and Graham aside, Rand Paul, Christopher Coons and Ted Cruz are on the right side of the debate.
Since McCain and Graham apparently believe it is most important for them to get along with “progressives”, no matter the cost to the Rights of American Citizens at home, their criticism of Paul is out of hand.
Let them face the repercussions in their next election.

Is anyone surprised that the Senate couldn't get any straight answers from Holder on the possibility of drone strikes on Americans within the U.S.? And why hasn't the outcry over this been louder, with the exception of the fine efforts of Sen. Paul and his handful of allies, in light of this administrations deliberately hazy definition of a drone strike's justification. And yet Holder couldn't decide if he believed the President had the right to order such a strike on U.S. soil? Now this morning something strange happened to Eric Holder. Something that no one has ever seen before. He woke up with a desire to do his job. By now I'm sure that you've heard about his letter to Sen. Paul, about 24 hours too late. "Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?" "The answer to that question is no." Holder finally admitted.
The President does not have that authority. But then, he didn't have the authority to force Americans to buy health insurance either. He didn't have the authority to order military strikes against Lybia a few years ago. Although he had the obligation to do so last September 11th, but chose to do nothing. He didn't have the authority to appoint three recess nominations when the Senate wasn't in recess. And the list goes on and on. But now we're expected to believe that no such drone strikes will be ordered on American soil just because the President doesn't have the authority to order them?
And this administration has done nothing but muddy the definition of terrorist. A few months ago Joe Biden likened conservatives to terrorists. Is that going to be the standard? A person's political or social belief? Or some other form of affiliation? Recently Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, has sent a letter to the Justice Department marking members of Patriot groups as "non-Islamic domestic terrorists". In spite of the fact that there has been no acts of terrorism linked to members of any such group.
Gone are the good old days when we were just labeled as "racist" for demanding fiscal sanity, a smaller federal government, and adherence to the constitution. Now the new label is to be "terrorist". And this label might be followed with another nasty little surprise. Authority or no authority.
So what is considered a terrorist under this administration, and how is that definition likely to be expanded in the near future? If you're opposed to gay marriage, are you a terrorist? If you want a balanced budget, are you a terrorist? If you don't drive a hybrid, are you a terrorist? If you forget to floss, are you a terrorist? Or is that label handed down on the whim of our "glorious and all knowing" dictator, Comrade Obama?
If you remember to look up at the sky while you're going about your day give a nice wave to the drones up there. After all, they're still just the "friendly" unweaponized surveillance variety. For now. And God bless America. We're going to need all the help we can get.

Americans with our inherited ‘inalienable’ God-given rights and freedoms appears to be moving to a lower level.
‘Face it’! An American electorate majority has ‘voted’ to turn the USA, our Constitution, and our earlier ‘inalienable’ ‘God-given’ freedoms ‘upside-down’; and away as passed down from our earlier generation(s).
America is living under a ‘lawless’ government of elected and appointed individuals who, themselves, decide whether to ‘obey, enforce, or ignore’ our Constitution and our laws, as they please.
America made a ‘far-left turn’ in 1963 as the SCOTUS verdict in ABINGTON SCHOOL DIST. v. SCHEMPP removed the Holy Bible from our ‘public schools’. Since that judgment, several generations have failed to hear, study, and/or pass along to later generations the ‘Word of God’. As time passed, I perceived a vision for America to return our nation to the dreams of our Founding Fathers and our US Constitution based on Christian values.
During this same time frame, most regular individuals who practice ‘Christianity’ in their ‘houses of worship’, were spending their money being entertained in professional sports, amphitheaters, movies, and other forms of entertainment, while the ‘lead superstars and movie stars’ themselves, were returning their disproportionate proceeds and take-home revenues to ‘left-wing’ political candidates of election(s) and other ‘radical’ political ideals; representing opposite opinions as these same paying customers usually uphold.
‘Left-wing’ political ‘movers and shakers’ may have won on ‘Liberal’ social, fiscal, and National Security issues; perhaps, forever while many wonder…. How could it have happened? How did it happen? What went wrong? Was I, or am I part of the problem, or am I a solution?
Is it ‘too late’ to return to the dreams of our Founding Fathers and our US Constitution based on Christian values? Most probably yes; however, nothing is impossible under God’s decree.
Each of us must review our own life and evaluate as to what, how, where, and when we assisted in damaging our Constitution based on Christian values, and our ‘inalienable’ God-given rights and freedoms. On the differing side, did any of us assist in reinforcing our Constitution based on Christian values, and our nation?
Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
Have we, as good ‘God-fearing’ Christians fought for, protected, and handed down our freedoms to the next generation(s)? History will reveal the answer(s) to others.
I would like to volunteer anytime for a door to door march in any part of our country to wake up the people to what is taking place in our government and how it is going to effect our future generations. I would like to travel with at least 2 to 3 other people to get our message across. We would need brocures and possibly gifts for those who might donate. We would need a list of our canidates, so we can help those to see what we represent. I'am available anytime and would like to help get across to the public what we letting ourselves in for if we don't do something soon.
Thank you and God Bless,
A Vietnam Veteran,
