Predictably, the liberal intelligentsia has responded with scorn. Of all the “goofy ideas from those lovable wacky Tea Partyers [sic],” John Aloysius Farrell writes atUSNews.com, this is the “stupidest.” Repeal talk is “truly regressive,” even “Paleolithic,” Timothy Egan seethes in Sunday’s New York Times.
Apparently, the only thing worse than peasants with pitchforks is peasants with pocket Constitutions. http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/repeal-17th-amendment
How the 17th Amendment Has Stolen Your Freedom From the AIP Platform:Repeal of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments We consider the federal income tax to be destructive of our liberty, privacy, and prosperity. Therefore, we are working to bring about its complete elimination and the repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. We recommend that the current system be replaced by an equitable, simple, noninvasive, visible, efficient tax, one that does not destroy or even infringe upon our economic privacy and liberty. |
My newest readers of my weekly blog article may very well have no idea who Senator Nancy Schaefer and Bill Bowen were. This makes sense to me as seeing the degree of what many State of Georgia officials, United States Government agents as well as much of the “lame stream media” has done to actively suppress even the knowledge of what dirty “business” Senator Schaefer and Bill Bowen were exposing just before their deaths. For those who unfortunately may be unaware of that business, please allow me to summarize their work as this; “exposing corrupt judges, lawyers, police, CPS agencies, Domestic Violence Programs and others involved in the destruction of families for financial profit.” Nancy and Bill were successful in sharing what was occurring at the time in our government in the way of families and children being destroyed for cash, and when Nancy and Bill's first film came out exposing the truth about these fore mentioned evilists, many eyes were opened(Part 1 of the film... http://youtu.be/48YF1uEuCUA). We all know(well, at least I'd like to think at least most are awake enough to be aware) the atrocities and terroristic actions our US, it's States, Counties and others were taking against families all in the name of cash. Innocent families destroyed, innocent parents jailed, separated, children being wrongly placed in foster care, adopted out all so that unconstitutional and illegal government agents could make cold, hard-cash. Bill and Nancy Film shortly before their deaths. That film is currently, well... we will just say, in hiding with someone for “safe keeping.”Friends,
I've been receiving a lot of e-mails lately where the senders are so frustrated and worn down that they talk about giving up. My response has been, and always will be: HELL NO! I refuse to give up and refuse to allow our liberties to be taken away.
As I recently told a friend, WE have to become the new "Zealots". We have to keep the lamp lit, educate others who are either misinformed, ignorant, or so emotionally invested in their politics that they can't see the dangers of tyranny regardless of political party.
Our forefathers understood that for our republic to survive we have to have an educated, well informed electorate. For the past 100 years, there have been forces insidiously working to re-write history, manipulate our educational curriculum, and effectively dumb down our population. Couple that with the technology generation that gets their information either in sound bites from the comedy channel or texting and "Twittering", that they know more about the lives of the Kardashian family than they do about our constitution.
To that end, I am sharing some resources that you may find useful.
JPFO has updated a valuable resource document called "Gun Facts". It is a free PDF download in a couple of different file sizes; one for printing and a smaller file for screen viewing. I am including both links. Browse the info and use it to dispel the myths being spread about guns.
New Jersey Congressman Leonard Lance has asked the question about why DHS bought so many bullets and other military hardware. No answer from Secretary Neapolitano. Why? To my mind when Congress does not get an answer from DHS they need to cut off the funding immediately. This administration told us that they were going to be transparent but in fact they are the most non-transparent administration in the nations history. What are they hiding? Congress has the right to know! Support Congressman Lance because he asked the tough questions and support the Constitution of the U.S.
Many scoffers and antagonists have done ugliness to Jesus. Saul of t\Tarsus for example.When The spirit revealed himself to Saul he then Knew with eyes and heard with ears and became Paul. He then used what God knew he had in experience as a Jew of Jews and a citizen of Rome to bring Gods children to belief in Christ. I am offended when people stomp on Christ and make dirty art but am as hapy as the prodigal father to see them convert. The war on creationism is won by creationism but so many don't know it yet. here are your sites and books to check.

The title of this post is an obvious takeoff on the famous words "Houston we have a problem", which was the line attributed to the Apollo 13 astronauts who realized that they were in a life threatening situation that needed to be resolved fast. It was an understatement as is the title here.
By now most of you know that Homeland Security’s Janet Napolitano is REFUSING to answer questions about the agency’s purchase of 7000+ AR15s, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition and nearly 3,000 armored personnel carriers with bullet proof glass capable of stopping 50 caliber rounds and solid tires that can take serious bullet penetration and keep going.
In a YouTube video a DHS spokesman said the armored vehicles were for serving warrants but did not say what kind of warrants DHS might have the occasion to serve. They are obviously expecting that someone will be shooting at them and have outfitted themselves to withstand heavy fire. Who do they expect to be doing the shooting? These vehicles will carry up to eleven “operators” and there are firing slits so they can engage someone without leaving the vehicle.
We are well past conspiracy theories at this point. We have a serious problem. Everyone should be hounding their representatives for answers until Washington reveals the truth and disbands this army whose purpose they will not reveal.
It would appear that DHS, which has no connection with the armed services and would not be deployed outside the country, could only be deployed inside the USA but against whom? They will not say. They are using your tax money to create a standing army within the US which, common sense would indicate, is likely to be used against you. I think their refusal to be accountable is the answer and we had better take our government back as quickly as possible.
We really need to push for Obama’s impeachment. I would like to ask every member of Congress these few important questions:
Barack Hussein Obama is the poster child to be used when someone asks why the President must be a natural born citizen! This is why!

Virginia Republican governor Bob McDonnell stuck the knives in the back of conservatives by pushing a massive tax hike scheme.
Working with the Republican Speaker of the House William J. Howell and Democrat gubernatorial hopeful and Clinton bagman Terry McAuliffe, McDonnell raised state sales taxes, car taxes, regional sales taxes, personal property taxes, vehicle taxes, vending machine taxes, heavy-equipment taxes, commercial taxes, hybrid-vehicle taxes, hotel taxes and diesel-fuel taxes.
Howell is not one to take dissent likely and he will stop at nothing to enact his agenda. Luckily for Tea Party supporters and conservative activists, there are a handful of delegates willing to say no to Howell -- and McDonnell's -- big government tax and spend programs.
Del. Ben Cline (R-Rockbridge County) is becoming the leader of the conservative opposition. Cline not only opposed the tax hikes, he is doing something about it. He has formed the Virginia Conservative Victory Project. The group “endorse and help fund conservative candidates running for vacant seats in the Virginia House of Delegates and conservative House incumbents running for re-election this November.”
“It is clear that conservatives must increase their numbers in the House of Delegates,” said Cline, who was among 40 House members who voted against the tax-raising transportation bill that passed the General Assembly in February.
“The 2013 General Assembly session was a disappointment for conservatives,” Cline said. “Through the recruitment of conservative candidates for House vacancies and the support of conservative House incumbents for re-election, the Virginia Conservative Victory Project will promote policies that embrace free markets, individual liberty, and the values of faith and family.”
Tea Party activists in Virginia should rally around the opposition -- and our new leader -- Ben Cline.
Why we were in Iraq ; Millions of leftists poured into the streets of European capitals and of Washington, San Francisco and New York to protest the removal of Saddam Hussein. Their goal was to prevent the United States and Britain from toppling Saddam and ending one of the cruelest and most repressive regimes in modern times. The protesters chanted “no blood for oil;” they called the United States “the world’s greatest terrorist state;” they called America’s democratic government an “Axis of Evil;” and they compared America’s president to Adolph Hitler. In America, the demonstrations against the war were organized by two different groups. One of these was International ANSWER, a front group for the Worker’s World Party, which is a Marxist-Leninist sect aligned with the Communist dictatorship in North Korea. The other was the Coalition for Peace and Justice, an organization which was led by Leslie Cagan, a veteran 1960’s leftist and member of the Communist Party until after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Coalition welcomed all factions of the left and was composed of organizations that ranged from the Communist Party to the National Council of Churches to Muslim supporters of the terrorist jihad. http://ning.it/14bNPUr |
Recently there has been a media blitz on gay marriage rights. Soon the Supreme Court will address the issue and maybe rule on it but the issue is clearly an important constitutional fight. The first amendment to the Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion or impeding the free excersise of religion. To allow what God clearly calls an abomination would be a law that impedes the free exercise of religion for once the government allows and accepts it we the people will have no choice but to accept what goes against our religious convictions.
This fight is as important as our fight to protect gun rights for once the door is opened to the gay community then the law suits against religions will commence the first time they refuse to marry a gay couple. It is becoming well known that the Democrats have become the God-less party and they are doing everything they can to get rid of God from America. They have removed God from schools and now children are not learning about morals and because of this we are seeing children killing children more and more. Yet muslim religion is being reported to be taught more and more to our children in public schools.
This is not and should never be about hating gays. If people want to be gay, then so be it. This is about erroding the Constitution. This is about erroding our nations moral fabric. Recently most states voted against gay marriage yet the liberal media is reporting that as much as %85 of America approves of gay marriage which is a direct contradiction to way the states voted and more than likely another liberal lie. The gay communitee is estimated to be between %8 to %11 of the population yet if allowed to be married then another one of our rights will be gone.

Former Astronaut Mark Kelly and NRA VP & CEO Wayne LaPierre
Battle at U.S. Senate Hearing over Gun Control
Legitimate gun owners and supporters of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment have good reason to be outraged by Mark Kelly’s publicity trick to further gun control efforts in America. According to published Fox News reports, the former astronaut and husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a shooting victim 2 years ago in Tucson, Arizona purchased an AR-15-style rifle and a 45.-caliber handgun.
This comes on the heels of his highly publicized efforts in both Congress as well as in Colorado to assault the U.S. Constitutional rights of legal gun owners to own weapons. In fact, his comments which he posted on Facebook, according to published reports seem disingenuous, when he states that people could easily buy similar guns at gun shows or over the internet without background checks.
The fact is, Kelly did actually do exactly what other law-abiding citizens in Arizona or any other state in the union have done beforehand. The Diamondback Police Supply gun shop where he reportedly purchased the weapons from, followed state law and had him undergo the mandatory background check.
Well, surprise, surprise he passed without any hiccups. So what was his point?
Many supporters of gun rights have weighed in on his open display of reactionary theater, by correctly pointing out that his entire stunt accomplished was to bring attention to his and his wife’s newly formed gun control organization named, Americans for Responsible Solutions.
It appears that the organization’s leader, Kelly, was actually seeking to create irresponsible reactions from fellow gun control sympathizers who would somehow rise up in hysteria and join up or gin up more donations to his national gun control cause.
What Kelly does not seem to want to accept, is that as tragic and woefully unfortunate the mass shooting of his wife and others on that horrendous day in the Tucson area shopping center, it was not performed by law abiding citizens going on a rampage.
Her attempted assassination was due to largely in part to relaxed mental health laws dealing with mentally unbalanced and severely disturbed individuals that the mental health system in Arizona and other states have not be responsible for.
Kelly, instead resorted to the quick, the easy, and the attention-headline grabbing techniques which are assured to raise the ire of mainstream media liberal heads. The goal of course is to place greater pressure on states like Colorado, which was recently caught up in a monumental gun control pitched battle in their democrat controlled state legislature. That highly restrictive gun control legislation has now been signed into law. What states are next to fall victim?

By Jim Mullen
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) still doesn’t get it. He can’t fathom the reality that the freedom-loving Mountaineers of West Virginia are livid about his unwavering support of Barack Obama and his left-wing Democrats in their unconstitutional quest at further restricting the free exercise of Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Both are shamefully taking a tragic event and using it to further their political agendas by grandstanding and self-aggrandizing.
Manchin continues to reassure West Virginians that nobody is after their guns, while doggedly working with the anti-gun extremists to limit the size of clips and expand background checks. He and the Obamaites preach that we must have ‘reasonable’ rules.
The battle now is to ban so-called “assault weapons” and high-capacity clips. The radical left obviously believes lawful Americans cannot be trusted. Weapons are only “assault weapons” when in the hands of criminals. When in the hands of law-abiding American citizens, they are “defensive weapons.” These are some of the weapons Manchin said we must look at to stop the killing of innocents. We all know what he meant by the term “look at.”
It is obvious to even the densest anti-gun zealot, that criminals will pay no heed to ANY gun-control law. Therefore, it’s apparent that the quest for more anti-gun legislation is aimed at disarming lawful citizens and does nothing to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The facts are irrefutable; gun-control legislation disarms or makes criminals of lawful Americans, but does nothing to disarm criminals or reduce violence or murders of innocent people.
Criminals depend on government to disarm the public, thus allowing thugs and gangs unrestricted domination in our streets, neighborhoods, and cities. U.S. cities with the strictest gun laws have the highest crime and murder rates. Witness the cities of Chicago, Washington, DC, Detroit, Baltimore, and on, and on.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to ban 157 different models of defensive weapons, as well as magazines containing more than 10 rounds. However, the liberals and the media, including the Senator from the Mountain State, claim that nobody is trying to take away our guns. Every Democrat on the committee voted for the ban, while every Republican voted against the ban.
Americans must face facts, it’s apparent over the last several years that the New Democratic Party is a mortal enemy of gun owners and the Second Amendment. The NRA should also take heed when they endorse a Democrat for office when there is another candidate with an excellent record on gun rights. Endorsing candidates like Harry Reid and the Senator from West Virginia is shortsighted and the NRA actually undermines the very rights that they otherwise so feverishly defend because they add to the Democratic majority.
The West Virginia Senator supports backdoor registration of guns through background checks at gun shows and private sales or purchases. Background checks at gun shows are little more than background checks for private sales and trading of guns and ammunition, which he favors. He knows none of these laws will reduce gun violence or murder rates in this country. Yet, under Manchin’s plan, if one wants to purchase a gun from a neighbor, one must pay for a background check and get approval from the federal government. These extended background checks are another back door, roundabout attempt at registration that allows government to know who owns guns, what type they are, and where to find them.
Not a word emanates from the mouths of Manchin, Obama, Feinstein, or any other left-wing anti-gunners about the real causes of crime and murder rates in this country. Most violence comes directly from inaction and misguided programs by federal, state, and local governments.
The free exercise of American rights under the Second Amendment does not cause violence.
Here are just a few of the shortcomings, incompetence, and corrupt bureaucracies of government that do result in lawless, senseless violence.
Much of the debate for years in this country has centered on handguns. For decades, nobody talked about long guns of any kind. To the leftists, handguns represented everything that was evil about the Second Amendment. The unvarnished truth is that the left-wingers believe the very existence of the Second Amendment is evil.
Concealed permits are under constant attack. By declaring gun-free zones and limiting where one can legally carry a weapon, the tyrants hope to make it so restrictive as to make concealed permits worthless. One such limit in declaring schools as "gun-free zones" to prevent shootings, could only be imagined, and implemented by the most naive and ignorant of liberal minds.
Some notable quotes by Obama, the anti self-defense chief, should tell everyone where the leftist-in-chief stands:
Here are some notable votes by Obama:
Now, let’s examine some Joe Manchin quotes and excerpts from the Senator’s own writings:
One will notice Sen. Manchin never once points out that the Second Amendment never mentions hunting and not one word crosses his lips about self-defense. He obviously thinks the Second Amendment should be on the table for discussion, and it’s all about hunting.
It’s always easier for lazy, corrupt, and ideological politicians to take the easy path. They use manipulative hyperbole, and emotional rhetoric to push for legislation that has proven repeatedly to be ineffective, and destructive. Like vultures, these zealots circle after every despicable shooting by an outlaw or insane person and then use the tragedy and suffering of others to gain an upper hand to implement their anti-gun tyranny.
They know they cannot ban all gun rights at once any more than a boa can instantly kill and devour its prey. They do it slowing, one contraction at a time.
Little-by-little, Obama, Manchin, Feinstein, and their left-wing ilk formulate their “reasonable rules” which are, in reality, slow narrowings and constrictions designed to squeeze the life from our Second Amendment and devour our guns.
Knowing what Obama and this West Virginia liberal hunter have said publicly, and knowing the history of the anti-gun radicals, does anyone believe them when they say, “Nobody is coming after your guns?” Disarming America is not a solution for violence; rather it is one of the chief determining factors for the violence raging through the streets of this country. An unarmed nation is a nation on its knees, and that is exactly where the leftist tyrants want Americans. The free exercise of American rights under the Second Amendment does not cause violence.
For one to see the tragic results of liberal politics and gun control that disarms lawful people, one needs to look to the cities in the control of the New Democratic Party. Here, guns are banned outright from lawful Americans or restricted to such a point as to make their right to own guns and defend themselves, a cruel joke. They are microcosms of what liberals want for the rest of the country.
When liberal-progressive government is in control of peoples’ lives, they keep citizens disarmed, uneducated, indoctrinated, and dependent. When will we cease to allow our government to cast their tyrannical, liberal, magic spell over this great land?

I saw a story on Facebook http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/19/reid-cuts-assault-weapons-ban-from-senate-gun-control-bill-amid-waning-support/ that gave me pause. I wrote the following paragraph in the comment box and shared.
Before anyone jumps up and down over this "victory" look at what has happened. The fallback position has always been universal registration, the exact position the republikrat establishment agreed to when this all started. They come to a "bi-partisan agreement" and pat each other on the back while they bask in the glow of an approving media, and We the People have just lost our 2nd Amendment rights. Universal registration will lead directly to confiscation. And confiscation has been the goal of both parties from the beginning. We are being played again, by both party establishments. Universal registration is the last nail in the coffin of the peaceful restoration of liberty in the United States of America.

A recent video by the World Gold Council reviews a report on the future of the global economy published by the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum. The report examines the important role China’s currency will play in creating a multi-currency reserve system, and thus why gold will remain an important asset.
“Whether the world moves into full crisis with the end of the euro, or whether we have a recovery, or whether we experience something in between: all paths lead to towards a multi-currency system, in which gold’s role is likely to become more significant.”

In an effort to promote his cause for federal regulation of video games, Rep. Frank Wolf of the House Appropriations Committee, has demanded a federal agency that he oversees funding for conduct a study linking video games to violence.
At a hearing on Capitol Hill, Wolf brought the author of the study, Dr. Brad Bushman, to testify about his findings. Bushman has previously authored a study linking Bible passages to violence.
“People who believe that God sanctions violence are more likely than others to behave aggressively themselves,” wrote Ohio State University Prof. Brad J. Bushman, in his study “When God Sanctions Killing: Effect of scriptural violence on aggression.” "We found compelling evidence that exposure to a scriptural depiction of violence or to violence authorized by deity can cause readers to behave more aggressively,” he wrote. “Even among our participants who were not religiously devout, exposure to God-sanctioned violence increased subsequent aggression. That the effect was found in such a sample may attest to the insidious power of exposure to literary scriptural violence,” he wrote in the study.
Naturally, Bushman also believes there is a link between video games and violence. Bushman was a perfect researcher for a federal agency -- the National Science Foundation -- to call before a chairman who believes in video game regulations and determines their future funding allocations.
The reality is that since the growth of the video game industry in the 1990s, violence in America has dropped steeply and quickly. Numerous authorities, including the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Surgeon General and Federal Communications Commission have examined the scientific record and found that it does not establish any causal link between violent programming and violent behavior.
Naturally, Rep. Wolf believes his efforts are part of a "three-legged stool" to reduce violence in America -- and gun control is part of the other two legs of the stool. But Bushman and Wolf are walking down a slippery slope. If the Bible or video games cause violence, why not music, the Internet, books and movies? The last thing we need is another government agency determined to censor the First Amendment rights of Americans. Unfortunately for Virginia voters, Rep. Wolf is proving himself to be a RINO.
Kitty Werthmann is an eyewitness to history. She says; I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote. I’ve never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.
In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.
Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.
The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna, Linz and Graz were destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.
We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn’t have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group — Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.
We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.
After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.
Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn’t support his family.
Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.
