Report: More Doctors Plan to Retire Early! Why?

up.
Without a positive optimistic plan and ideal to look forward to and work for, what else is left? Hayek in “Why I am Not a Conservative and Ayn Rand in her “Conservatism and Obituary” both detailed out the main Achilles heel in “conservatism.” You all refuse to read them and to learn from them.
Classical liberalism was not conservative, if was revolutionary. It failed when it absorbed the 19th century idea of historical inevitability. It plan was what the tea parties main plan is minus the desire to interfere worldwide with other nations or to be the world’s cop, only CL’s worldwide vision was future oriented: Cosmopolitanism (universal citizenship), eventual open borders, total free trade (not managed trade), a complete worldwide division of knowledge and labor. The withering away of the state (yes that was originally a CL ideal not socialist/communist). America’s CL founders created a blueprint for a worldwide federation of free states with a free people that can organically grow. Conservatism and socialism put an end to that vision. From sea to shining sea became the limits of America and like all organic organisms, once you stop growing you create a ring of repugnance around yourself that eventually keeps shrinking you until you die. Jingoism and xenophobia kept us from bringing in Mexico, Cuba, Panama, the Phillpines and Puerto Rico, after all you can’t have those Spanish speaking Catholics enter a primarily Protestant country. What an opportunity wasted.
How many “Conservative” have adopted Malthusian beliefs? How many churches have taken the Kool-Aid and have gone green? How many have stupidly adopted the terms and ideals of the conspiratorial neo-left with no understanding of what the real purposes of them are? Sustainability, social justice, the precautionary principle, cap and trade/climate, et al. All Trojan horses, can you tell anyone intelligently how they all hang together and uphold a neo-leftist plan and ideology?
How many of you picked up and read Peter Diamandis new book Abundance or Matt Ridley’s The Rational Optimist? You limit yourselves and then your groan about there is nothing to do? YOU could become truly revolutionary techno-evolutionaries and take up the techno-neoclassical liberal position! But that would require you to put down your bibles and the latest idiotic work from the right wing bubbleheads: Insanity, O’liely, Bimbo et al.
Your lack of in-depth knowledge is your Achilles heel. While you are playing checkers on the old cracker barrel, your enemies are playing three dimensional chess and then you wonder why they have been slowly winning over the last 70 years?
You’ve ridden the short bus to school for far too long and then wonder how this all happened?

The following is the text of a speech I delivered Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at a monthly event known as Open Carry NIght. The owners of this Godfather's Pizza franchise are true patriots and strong 2nd Amendment supporters.
I invite each of you to apply the principle laid out in this speech to other government intrusions into our individual rights and areas of personal responsibility, such as ObamaCare, and voice your opinions to your elected representatives.
"
I don’t like public speaking. So, I’m at a bit of a loss to explain why I was so anxious to accept this opportunity to speak to you tonight. On one hand, I know exactly what I want to say; but on the other, I am a little unsure how to begin. So, let’s begin at the beginning.
We’ve all heard, read and/or recited all the quotes and platitudes like Washington’s “A free people ought not just to be armed, but also regulated and disciplined”, Jefferson’s “When the people fear the government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is Liberty”, “An armed society is a polite society”, and my personal favorite by Ben Franklin. “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be Happy”. Nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment – just my favorite quote.
But, although our general concerns are valid, the 2nd Amendment argument against government tyranny is not entirely why we are gathered here on Open Carry Night tonight. We stand united in support of the 2nd Amendment, but for a more personal, a more individually important reason. Can anyone guess what that is? Here is a clue.
A friend sent me a picture yesterday of a road sign. I brought it with me tonight to read to you. It reads, “Welcome to Wisconsin. ATTENTION CRIMINALS, TERRORISTS – Over 170,000 Wisconsin Residents Have A Legal Permit To Carry A Handgun – They Are Armed And Prepared To Defend Themselves And Others Against Acts of Criminal Violence – YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED – ILLINOIS AND CHICAGO HOWEVER HAVE BEEN DISARMED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE " . "
I was reading the Declaration, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers and research sources that provided analysis a few years ago and a conclusion which I’d like to share with you came to me like a bolt of lightning. I didn’t read it. It just dawned on me.
How many people over 55 do we have here tonight, raise your hands?!! I ask this because how we were taught the founding of our nation differs dramatically from the way our grandchildren are being taught about it – if they are taught at all – today.
For instance, if you engage in an online chat with a young person today, he/she will immediately be backed up by peers shouting you down if you allude to the fact that this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. This is the result of teaching them the failed philosophies of Secular Humanism, Moral relativism and Values Clarification. The concept of Individual Responsibility – accepting personal responsibility for one’s decisions and actions which is the Keystone of freedom – is rapidly going the way of the dinosaurs in our government-run educational system and government does NOTHING by accident.
It really becomes clear when you read any of our founding documents – The Declaration, The Constitution and Bill of Rights, The Northwest Ordinance – all of which combined form what is referred to as “the Organic Law” of the United States. As an aside: Did you know that the Declaration and Constitution were written for a 3rd grade reading level at the time? Doesn’t that beg the question, “Why do we need the SCOTUS to tell us what they mean?”
The underlying foundational concept forming what we know and love as America is known as NATURAL LAW. Natural Law can be summed up this way: Positive actions or thoughts get positive results; negative actions or thoughts get negative results. There are inalterable laws of Natural behavior just as immutable as the Law of Gravity, and just as unforgiving. It is the natural order of things. Ignorance of these laws or ignoring their existence is the primary reason our society, our values as a nation, appear to be in a freefall to oblivion.
John Adams once said, “Our Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” That quote has been used by some religious zealots to bolster attempts at imposing religious doctrine on people where no specific religion was intended, but the unifying concept embraced within it of a higher power than man or his governments was intrinsic and is essential to the preservation of our rights and liberties. A return to religious tolerance and awareness of Natural Law are all that is required to secure our liberties for all time – with the 2nd Amendment, of course.
Political Correctness is an attempt to undermine and destroy this concept of tolerance. PC’s concept of “toleration” is a mechanism to introduce a new law system as a prelude to the new intolerance. True tolerance was represented by the “American melting pot” concept with which many of us grew up. We were all Americans – proud, unabashed, unafraid, un-hyphenated and united as one people. Political correctness divides us by granting minority status to subgroups based on sex or sexual orientation, races and ethnicities. Is there anyone here who doubts this? Have you ever noticed how progressives are tolerant of anything and anyone except any who favor placing limits on tolerance?
The confirmation of our Judeo-Christian roots is found within the verbiage of our founding documents, charters and state constitutions – many of which refer to our blessings of liberty coming from God, or the Supreme Being, or the Great Architect of the Universe, or simply the Creator. Consequently, the phrase, "God-Given Rights" is more than the three words than form it. It also is not intended to be religiously divisive or even inject any specific religion into secular discussions of government's limitations, because the beautiful thing about the framer’s concept of Natural Law is that it doesn’t matter if you are Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Wiccan, Agnostic, Atheist, Liberal, Conservative or vegan. Everyone benefits from the framers' interpretation of the origin of our rights. They are secure from government infringement and cannot be taken away from any of us.
A religious view of the origin of our rights is not required of anyone; tolerance of the views held by those who DO believe is required of everyone. With that tolerance, the rights of everyone are secure. Without that tolerance, and without an awareness that our rights are ours because we exist as part of His creation of the family of Man and the Laws of Nature, everyone’s rights are at risk.
Where’s the evidence? It is widely known and understood that the Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States – what we refer to as the Declaration of Independence – is one of the most profound utterances on the subject of the rights of Man ever written. The Constitution then explains and organizes those thoughts and forms a government of the people based on those concepts.
In its first paragraph, Jefferson justifies the separation from Great Britain using the phrase, “… and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them …”
In the second paragraph, Jefferson wrote: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness – That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
If you look up the definition of ‘Unalienable” today you will very likely be redirected to the word “Inalienable,” usually with the comment that ‘unalienable’ is simply an alternative spelling of ‘inalienable’. This is partially correct, but at one point in time - the time of the American Revolution - there certainly existed an important difference between the two words.
Unalienable Rights
Unalienable Rights are defined as: [Rights which are] incapable of being alienated, that is, sold and transferred. All individuals have unalienable rights. (According to Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition.)
Inalienable Rights
Inalienable Rights are defined as: Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights. (According to Morrison v. State, Mo. App., 252 S.W.2d 97, 101.)
"Jefferson's original draft of this phrase in the Declaration of Independence was written: "We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable; that all men are created equal and independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent and inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Members of the Declaration committee of the Continental Congress that had been selected to write the document included Benjamin Franklin and John Adams who had different beliefs. The word "inalienable" was changed to "unalienable" and read: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
The above two paragraphs come from nationally respected political author Mary Mostert in an article she wrote on January 11, 2006 "Unalienable vs. inalienable rights". She explains the change; as Thomas Jefferson reflected a Deist philosophy and did not believe in a loving and caring Heavenly Father vs. the 18th century version of "intelligent design" reflected by Franklin and Adams.
This is a critically important philosophical distinction that has been lost through the evolution of language. It is highly important to understand that when the two words did hold separate meanings, the Declaration committee of the Continental Congress opted to use the word, “unalienable,” in the final draft of the Declaration of Independence, over Jefferson’s original wording which included, ‘inalienable.’
Without getting too deep into meta-ethics, it’s clear that the committee supported the idea that human rights, or Natural Rights, were inherent in all people and could not be transferred, even by those having the rights. Most importantly, these rights were not created by governments, but rather were acknowledged to already pre-exist and supersede government. Therefore, claiming these rights are unalienable, a government cannot later claim that a people have spoken or chosen to give up their rights. The only way possible to forfeit an unalienable right is as a just penalty for violating another person’s unalienable rights.
“The rights of life and personal liberty are natural rights of man. '… to secure these rights,' says the Declaration of Independence, 'governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.' The very highest duty of the States, when they entered into the Union under the Constitution, was to protect all persons within their boundaries in the enjoyment of these 'unalienable’ rights with which they were endowed by their Creator.' Sovereignty, for this purpose, rests alone with the States. It is no more the duty or within the power of the United States to punish for a conspiracy to falsely imprison or murder within a State, than it would be to punish for false imprisonment or murder itself.” U S v. CRUIKSHANK, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)
Let me repeat that: Our Natural Law rights descend from God (the Creator) and are therefore “unalienable” because neither Man nor his governments have any powers over “the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God”. In other words, I cannot take YOUR Natural rights away; you cannot take MY Natural rights away; and neither of us as individuals nor government can force us to give up our Natural rights through coercion, edict, legislation or treaty; nor can we surrender them voluntarily as individuals or as a group without affecting the efficacy (effectiveness, value) of everyone's rights. They are ours by virtue of our existence in the Family of Man – inseparable from our Humanity – because we were created by Him. Government lacks the jurisdiction, the authority to regulate or alter our Natural, UNalienable rights. INalienable rights can be regulated or altered by government.
In addition, no one can claim as a right anything which when exercised by them interferes with another’s (any others) ability to exercise his or her rights. That is just another way of saying, “Your rights end where my nose begins.”
This is the meaning of ‘Rights’ as used and understood by the founders, as surely as they used capital letters within the text of sentences to emphasize the words they thought important. The concept of Natural Law rights and their origin is what is most significant about our Constitution, and distinguishes it from ANY other constitution of ANY other nation that has ever existed anywhere in the world at any time. The vast majority of all Constitutional scholars agree with this interpretation of its significance. Conversely in nations where governments grant rights to their citizens, governments can and do just as easily take them away.
The defining question then becomes, “How can one have an unalienable right to life, [ liberty and the pursuit of happiness ] if the right to defend that life (self-defense) doesn’t exist as an inherent part of that right?” Obviously, one cannot. We have the 2nd Amendment BECAUSE we have a NATURAL RIGHT TO LIFE AND A NATURAL RIGHT TO DEFEND IT. That’s why, when Ted Nugent says the only “permit” he needs is the 2nd Amendment, I agree with him.
"Naturally", these rights go with us wherever we legally go and the natural right of self-defense is a logical extension of the application of our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That is why the current administration's support of the United Nations International Small Arms Treaty is so alarming, and this conceptual view of our rights is diametrically opposed and so important for people to understand. Defense against the "wolves" of society -- the predators who prey upon the sheep in violation of their rights -- is at least as necessary today as at any time in the past. It was understood by the founders that individual citizens needed the ability to defend themselves against the excesses of other men – and governments – and wrote the latter into the Declaration as a "duty" or obligation (paragraph 2).
In Warren v. District of Columbia (444 A.2d 1, D.C. App.181), the fundamental principle of American law (that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen) was decided and explained. As the phrase “fundamental principle of American law” suggests, this holding is not some legal aberration unique to the District of Columbia. It is universal, being enunciated by formal statute as well as judicial decision in many states. Nor is it simply a cynical ploy for government to avoid just liability, as I originally thought. The proposition that individuals must be responsible for their own immediate safety, with police providing only an auxiliary general deterrent, is inherent in a free society.
Do you see the potential for double-jeopardy here? If government can "permit" only certain people (police, permit holders) to provide that immediate safety for themselves while requiring everyone to do so, that not only creates a double jeopardy exposure for the citizens who are NOT "permitted" (“Your immediate safety is your responsibility, but we cannot let you provide that), but it makes a mockery of the phrase, " ... all men are created equal." Make no mistake: Police carry guns to protect themselves from criminals with guns, not to protect the general public.
Twice in the past 3 ½ years in the Heller and McDonald cases the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the 2nd Amendment as an individual right. The 2nd Amendment is about self-defense, and has been trivialized to mean something akin to protecting a recreational pastime. The open/concealed carry option and codifying Iowa state uniformity with respect to weapons laws are steps toward restoring what is a God-given or Natural Right of the people to self-defense, reserved by the U. S. Constitution for the people in the Bill of Rights as the 2nd Amendment. It never was about hunting. Hunting and self-defense both use guns or arms of some type, which are just tools to accomplish respective tasks. Similarly, a garden hose can be used to water food plants, apply fertilizer or weed control as well as to extinguish out-of-control fires. It can also be used as an instrument of torture. The gun is just a tool. The person controlling the trigger is the weapon.
All of the rights listed in the Bill of Rights are individual rights and the recent battles over the interpretation of whether the 2nd Amendment was an individual or collective right demonstrate clearly what a tenuous hold we have on all our freedoms without recognizing this historic, ecumenical view of their origin – and the superior mechanism it provides for their future security. The Natural Law argument and the second amendment together provide the people the tools to keep the wolves at bay.
I leave you with these quotes from John Adams, one of my favorite presidents.
Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” - John Adams, 17 July, 1775 in a letter to his wife Abigail.
Finally, a quote directed to the attention of us all:
"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." John Adams.
Thank you.
We’re supposed to believe that passing more laws would prevent tragedies like this from happening, but aren’t guns already banned in schools? Here’s the thing about criminals. They don’t care about the law. It’s what makes them criminals. You cannot pass a law to prevent crazy people from doing crazy things. http://www.truthinexile.com/2012/12/21/assault-weapons-ban-discussion-a-distraction-from-the-real-problem/
The original intent of the founders was to have a Federalist system which consisted of individual states and a small central government with very limited powers. The idea was that the states would send the senators to Washington to represent them. If a senator started voting against the best interests of the state which he represented, he could be immediately recalled.
What happens today when a senator violates his oath of office and votes for unconstitutional bills? Nothing. Senators are elected for six years and even when those six years are up, it is almost impossible to take them out.re-election In some years that number has been as high as 96%. http://www.truthinexile.com/2012/02/09/why-the-17th-amendment-is-bad-and-should-be-repealed/
What the Constitution says about taxes:
The Founders who designed our Constitution sought to balance the power of the federal government against the states in order to keep both in check. The national government was thus originally prohibited from collecting taxes from individuals. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states: "No capitation, or other direct Tax, shall be laid unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration." This meant that the federal government could collect revenue from the states according to population, but had to leave the methods of collection to them. The federal government was to collect revenue in other, less intrusive ways (tariffs, excise taxes, consumption taxes) so as to limit the amount of money it could raise by its own authority http://www.repeal16thamendment.com/
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 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?
