Obama..the Legislator in Chief

According to Provision 8, Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph 1 of the U.S. Constitution; "All legislative or lawmaking powers granted by this Constitution shall be vested exclusively in the Congress of the United States."

According to this provision of the U.S. Constitution every American has the right NOT to be subject to any federal law unless reviewed, scrutinized and approved by a majority of the peoples representatives. This process however has be eroded since the late 19th and early 20th Century and to the present day.

This process of legislative action has been circumvented by the use of the use of the Presidential Executive Orders and a newer tactic by the appointment of Czars to manage and control various sensitive areas in government and the private sector; these Czars seem to be answerable to only the President and by the use of them and executive orders the Executive circumvents the intent of the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers. It seems that in Washington D.C. the government looks on the Constitution as a historical document that really does not matter any more. Situational legislation is practiced both by the Congress and the President and if a serious problem or crisis contrived or true is present it makes this end run around the Constitution even more easy.

The people of this country should be crying out loud "FOUL" and every time this tactic is used it should be challenged and taken to the Federal Courts and if needed to the Supreme Court. This type of legislation by idea logs must be stopped or this country and its Constitution will disintegrate.

The Treaty Of Versailles

On June 28, 1919, the First World War officially came to an end when France and Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles with the Allies. The German delegation, which had been forced to sign the punitive agreement, signaled their attitude by breaking the ceremonial pen.

The treaty required Germany to pay such onerous reparations to the victors that the country was impoverished for the next two decades. The terms were regarded with such bitterness in Germany that many historians believe they were directly responsible for the rise of Nazism and World War II.

One little footnote that has been almost forgotten: President Woodrow Wilson, the most powerful person at that conference, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920 for his efforts there. As Henry Kissinger could testify, it would not be the last time the 'peace' prize had very little to do with achieving a just and lasting peace.

John Locke...someone the Fathers learned from

In 1690 John Locke published two famous essays on The Original Extent and End of Civil Government. In his second essay he wrote:

"In all lawful governments, the designation of the persons who are to bear rule being an natural and necessary a part as the form of the government itself, and that which had its establishment ORIGINALLY FROM THE PEOPLE...all commonwealths, therefore, with the form of government established, have rules also of appointing and conveying the right to those who are to have any share in the public authority; and whoever into the exercise of any part of the power by other ways than what the laws of the community have prescribed hath no right to be obeyed, though the form of the commonwealth be still preserved, since he is not the person THE PEOPLE HAVE CONSENTED TO. Nor can such an usurper, or any deriving from him, ever have a title till the PEOPLE ARE BOTH AT LIBERTY TO CONSENT, AND HAVE ACTUALLY CONSENTED, to allow and confirm in him the power he hath till then usurped." (Locke, Second Essay Concerning Civil Government, pp. 70-71, par. 198; emphasis added.)

Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment

The Founding Fathers had intended that two Senators from each state would be appointed by the state legislature rather than elected by the people of that state. This was hoped to avoid the chance of a person who because of his "popularism" and "charisma" being voted in as the Senator of that state; it was hoped to avoid a person with "flash" and no substance from becoming a Senator.

It was thought and hoped by the Founding Fathers that the Senators appointed by state legislatures would be representing the states as sovereign entities. Senators would then not have to be compelled to involve themselves in the popular sometimes frivolous issues of the electorate and could concentrate on protection of states' rights, maintaining the established order, balancing the budget, and keeping taxes low as possible. It was also hoped they could keep the tempestuousness of the House at a more moderate level. They were to be the deliberate more long term "thinkers" of the Congress, our elder more wise statesmen. I think that the Founding Fathers had the right idea especially after viewing what a circus like atmosphere we have now in both the House and Senate.

Seventeenth Amendment.....Repeal It!

For those of you who may not be up on the Amendments to the
US Constitution I will state the two provisions of the Seventeenth Amendment.

PROVISION 266

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected to a six-year term by the people thereof; and each Senator shall have one vote.

PROVISION 267

When a Senate seat becomes vacant for any reason, the governor of that state shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancy; however, the legislature of any state may empower the governor to make a temporary appointment until the people fill the vacancy by an election as the legislature shall direct.

We shall discuss the implications of this amendment in my next blog as to how it diminishes the states rights and balance with the federal government.

Pay To Pray!

Philadelphia Pa., 1787, June 28, Constitutional Convention, 81 year old Benjamin Franklin made this plea to the Convention:

In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of
danger, we had daily prayers in this room for divine protection. Our prayers,
sir, were heard; and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged
in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending
Providence in our favor. To that kind of Providence we owe this happy
opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future
national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? Or do we
imagine that we no longer need (His) assistance?

God's Providence was certainly in evidence at the beginning of this nation and it is certainly needed at this time of peril.

" I, therefore, beg leave to move:

"That hereafter prayers, imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessing on our deliberations, held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service."

Revisionist historians have painted the Founding Fathers as best Deists and at worse self-serving selfish beings concerned with their own welfare. Do the above statements sound like the Founding Fathers were Godless, non God fearing men...by no means. Read your original sources...not commentary by revisionist historians who are working towards their own agenda. They wound up not having daily prayers in the AM at the beginning of business not because they did not want to but because the colonies had not considered it in the budget....clergymen in Philadelphia were paid for their services daily. Things turned out pretty well...I guess God did not consider paid for prayers necessary but only the goodness in the hearts and souls of the founders.

United Nations must go!

I believe that the value of the United Nations in New York City has outlived its usefulness and needs to move to a different country and needs to find another country other than the US to pay its fair share to continue the blatant misuse of its funds. I believe the American taxpayer is fed up and tired of subsidizing this club of do nothing, anti-free world hypocrites who lead the life of a celebrity in New York City. Kick them out and tell them not to let the door nob hit them in the butt. Oh, and by the way pay up your traffic tickets. I find the UN as it exists now totally useless and counterproductive to the maintenance and freedom of the people of the world.

Pres. Obama said we are not a Judeo-Christian Nation? - an open letter

Dear Pres. Obama:

Perhaps it was not on your required reading list at law school but I invite you to stroll over to the Library of Congress, if you were able to get a library card in light of the sparsity of your identification documents, and pick up a copy of The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, by Benjamin F. Morris, and published by American Vision Press, Powder Springs, Georgia. This 1060 page tome, which took over 12 years to research and write, gives original sources of proof that establishes the Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States dating back to the first settlements in the 1600s. Indirectly since much of the reasoning used in establishing these early civil institutions and codes and behavior were taken from the Christian bible which I am sure you must know includes the Old Testament, Judaic elements were also included in the earliest civil life and settlements of this country.

It is true that we are a nation of many religions but our Founders and the leaders who formulated civil life and institutions in the 1600s used Judeo-Christian values in doing so. Do yourself a favor and read it; I believe it will broaden your vision of the United States and give you and more realistic perspective of who we are.

Respectfully yours,
Richard W. Gorski, M.D.

President Obama

It Would Help If Your Administration Would Actually Read Arizona’s New Law.

Facing a plague of murders, kidnappings and criminal mayhem, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a simple, no-nonsense bill into state law that would help secure Arizona's southern border.

Within hours, even though he had not read the law, Barack Obama had the audacity to call it "misguided" and "irresponsible." He said: “And I want everyone, American and Mexican, to know my administration is taking a very close look at the Arizona law. We’re examining any implications...." Obama added: "I’ve directed my Justice Department to ... look very carefully at the language of this law to see whether it comports both with our core values and existing legal standards...."

"Taking a very close look...?" ... has anyone in the administration even bothered "to look very carefully at the language of this law?”

It appears not.

Attorney General Eric Holder confessed recently that he has not read the Arizona law; and yet, his "Justice Department" is going to fight it tooth-and-nail. The head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, admits that she has not read it; and yet, ICE is indicating that it will not cooperate with Arizona on enforcement of the law.

How can you "examine" the "implications" of a law if you refuse to read it?

Of course, if they had bothered to read it, perhaps they would understand that Arizona’s law closely mirrors the federal immigration statutes already on the books. The difference is that Arizona, unlike the federal government, actually plans to enforce it.

Senator Sessions even went so far as to accuse the Obama Administration of “nullifying existing law.” Senator Sessions is understating the argument. The Obama Administration isn't simply "nullifying the law." The Obama Administration is actively fighting it.

And this arrogant and egregious dereliction of duty must stop... TODAY.

The Chains that keep us free

Sounds strange that "chains" should "keep us free"; sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it. Nothing however could be truer. George Washington and the Founding Fathers looked at a centralized government as a potential for great good or great evil; just like human nature there is the potential for doing great good or being the instrument for great evil. The question was how to constrain the evil and expand the good. The answer was that the government had to be harnessed by the people who where handing over to it the permission to rule and enforce in their name; in other words to govern them.

The best answer they came up with was the Constitution of the United States. It harnessed the powers of the Federal Government within the confines of a strictly interpreted Constitution. If the Constitution was malleable and easily changeable it would destroy the freedom it was designed to preserve.

Washington said:

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
(Quoted in Jacop M. Braude, Lifetime Speaker's Encyclopedia, 2 vols. , Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1962, 1:326)

National Debt & Generational Debts

Common sense, a commodity that the Founders of our democratic republic possessed was responsible for their attitude toward a national debt. With wisdom born of experience they knew that the debts of a nation are no different than the debts of an individual or family. For dire circumstances such as war or natural disasters Article 1 of the Constitution allows the nation to borrow monies needed. However it was a matter of utmost importance that the debt be paid as soon as possible so that the nation could prosper.

This is reflected in what Thomas Jefferson said:
I, however, place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.
(Bergh, Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 15:47.)

Why is Mr. Obama pursuing a course 180 degrees opposite to what Thomas Jefferson recommended? Ask yourself that question; any rational answers?

Mr. Jefferson made a particular point about the immorality of passing on debt to ones children:

"That we are bound to defray (the wars) expenses within our own time, and unauthorized to burden posterity with them, I suppose to have been proved in my former letter... We shall all consider our-selves morally bound to pay them ourselves; and consequently within the life (expectancy) of the majority ... We must raise, then ourselves the money for this war, either by taxes within the year or by loans ; and if by loans, we must repay them ourselves, proscribing forever the English practice of perpetual funding. (Bergh, Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 13:357-358.)




Why does the administration and congress seem to have forgotten these words of wisdom?

American Exceptionalism....believe it!!!

James Madison may have summed it up better than any of the other Founding Fathers when he wrote:

Happily for America, happily we trust FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE, they (the Founding Fathers) pursued a new and more noble course. They accomplished a revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society. They reared the fabrics of governments which have no model on the face of the globe. They formed the design of a great Confederacy, which it is incumbent on their successors to improve and perpetuate. (Federalist Papers, No. 14, pp. 104-5; emphasis added.)

Sorry Mr. Obama but I do not agree with you; we are EXCEPTIONAL and you as President should know this in your soul.

Mr.Obama didn't you know or did you forget?

THE PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT EQUAL RIGHTS, NOT PROVIDE EQUAL THINGS. This was one of the fundamental principles that the Founding Fathers knew had to be used, based on reason and the natural law, in the Constitution of the United States. They understood that even though it was in vogue in Europe, at the time, (and even today) the act of taking from the "rich" and giving to the "poor" contained a glaring fallacy.

That glaring fallacy was and still is that the people cannot empower their government with powers which they themselves do not have a natural lawful right to themselves. A proper assignment of power given to the government by the people would be the creation of a fire department; to protect life and their property. An example of an improper granting of a power to a government would be for example; the government surveys families in an area and finds that 50% of the families in this area has two TVs and the other 50% has none. Then in the name of beneficence or call it warped "social justice", a new name for Marxism, the government creates an immoral but legal law that orders the families with two TV to give one of their TVs to a family with none all in the name of "spreading the wealth and goods around" in an equitable manner. The problem with this is that the "people" do not have the right to empower their government with this power to confiscate personal property and give it to those who don't have it; not if you believe in natural law and reason. Only anarchists or Marxists would propose such a redistribution of the wealth and goods that belong to other people who obtained it legally. If you gave it to your neighbor in an act of charity...fine...no problem. Marxism, social justice and spreading the wealth around can be dangerous because the devil is in the details of how it is done. Stay allert!

Advice to Pres. Obama from Ben Franklin & others

"Think what you do when you run in debt; you give to another power over your liberty." ...Benjamin Franklin

Thomas Jefferson wrote:
"The maxim of buying nothing without the money in our pockets to pay for it would make our country one of the happiest on earth. Experience during the (Revolutionary) war proved this; and I think every man will remember that,under all the privations it obliged him to submit to during that period, he slept sounder and awoke happier than he can do now." Ford, Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 4:414.)

President Washington made it perfectly clear when he said in an address to Congress: "No pecuniary consideration is more urgent than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt; on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable."

President Obama, I guess you don't subscribe to these fundamental principals of these Founding Fathers of our country... that is a shame that will haunt us and our great, great grandchildren.

Well maybe the PCSO force has arrived in the U.S.

Well if you have not heard by now the Pentagon (AKA...PCSO?) see the second previous blog, in disguise has dis-invited Reverend Franklin Graham to speak at the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer event; the Reverend Graham is the honorary chairman of the task force that runs the National Day of Prayer. I guess First Amendment Rights don't mean much to the "big boys", the ones with the stars on their uniforms,
at the Pentagon....even though our soldiers are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan for these rights for the citizens of these countries.

Shame on any military, civilian or even presidential individual (emphasis of the lower case p in presidential on purpose) who singularly or as a group slapped all evangelical Christians...no all Christians and believers in Jesus Christ. Bad decision boys! It will come back again and again and haunt you.

Reflections for Legislators and Supreme Court

Many people today fear the Federal Government has gone beyond the powers that the Constitution has vested in it. Here is a reflection from James Madison, one of the Founding Fathers of this country.

"The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE." (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p. 294; emphasis added.)

So they had similar problems way back in 1776; our American experiment continues and with Providence and the spirit of the American People it will continue and improve as long as we keep to the principals that this Republic was founded on.

Are we next for the PCSO force in the U.S.?

A 42 year old Baptist street preacher in Workington, Cumbria, UK, who for years has preached Christianity is arrested and thrown into a jail cell for reading the word of God, the Bible. The arrest was made after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) heard his reciting a number of "sins" referred to in the Bible; among these included blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships. The PCSO charged him with using abusive or insulting language, contrary to the U.K's Public Order Act. Mr. McAlpine was taken to the police station and confined in a cell for several hours. He was deprived of his freedom and treated like a common criminal.

The Public Order Act was introduced in 1986 to tackle violent rioters and football hooligans but now is being used to stop religious free speech.

Are we on the administration's agenda to have "special laws" (unconstitutional ones) for special groups that will add badly needed votes (voting blocks) to win close elections? Somehow I feel that we are; how about you?

Read this Book!!! Please

In these troubled political and economic times please read:

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World by W. Cleon Skousen of the National Center for Constitutional Studies.

You can Google it and probably find many sources where it can be purchased. It will open your eyes, mind and heart. They may even have it in the local library or can get it for you on loan from a neighboring library.

Obama's Private Unelected Government?

The Obama czars enjoy significant bureaucratic power which is doing an "end run" around Congress and are compensated six figure salaries and some are alleged to tilt so far to the left that some allege are socialist or bordering very close to communism.

They answer only to Obama and he (Obama) has appointed nearly 40 of them. To me this seems to be a government within a government. Here are a few just to give you the flavor of this: health reform czar, border czar, counter terrorism czar, urban czar, global warming czar, domestic violence czar, stimulus accountability czar, Eurasian energy czar, Great Lakes czar, safe schools czar. These czars have never been elected, nor confirmed by the Senate but still have immense over our government and each of us in our daily lives.

Where in the US Constitution are such positions authorized and the President authorized to create and endow these individuals with this power and responsibility without accountability to no one except Obama?

I am truly concerned about what President Obama's agenda is in creating a "government within a government".

What do you think? I would appreciate your insight.

What Document is this?

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Please respond and let me know if you know what this document's name is. I'll give you a "hint" the first word of the name starts with a "P".

Health Care Bill...onset of Obama monarchy?

With the passage of "Obamacare" thanks to the Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi elitist government you can probably expect the following things among many other unforeseen things to happen in a poorly thought out (probably mostly unread) piece of legislation:

• tax dollars will be used to pay for abortions; the executive order signed by Obama is not worth the paper its written on and will not stop the largest expansion of abortions that will be seen
• health insurance premiums will rise by as much as 13% according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
• small business will be stifled and will reduce jobs or forgo any thought of hiring new people to fill new positions
• the Federal Government however will GROW by at least 16,000 new IRS Agents (at a minimal cost of $10 billion) to be the enforcement branch of this new piece of entitlement; just what we want, more government on our backs to make sure they get paid or they will fine, levy or I would not be surprised if they would prosecute some and imprison them. I guess this is what President Obama meant by CHANGE and SPREADING THE WEALTH.

So when you go to the polls in November think of these things before you vote and ask yourself is this the direction that you want your country to go? The future of your country, your and yours children's' liberties may depend on your choice.

Administration and leftist congress hijacked and perverted Social Justice?

Social Justice has been defined as the respect for the human person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it.

Social justice can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man. The person represents the ultimate end of society, which is ordered to him: the late John Paul II said,

What is at stake is the dignity of the human person, whose defense and promotion have been entrusted to us by the Creator, and to whom the men and women at every moment of history are strictly and responsibly in debt.

In the Declaration of Independence it states that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No where in this document or in the Constitution does it state also an inalienable right to health care; if the government, with the consent of the governed wishes to create such a legislative policy it may do so if done in a lawful and legitimate matter. If it does so the government does not confer a new human right on its citizens it simply creates a new entitlement program for them. Rights are intrinsic to the human nature of created beings freely given to them by their creator. Words and concepts are important don't confuse political policy with intrinsic human rights or some day you may find yourself in the chains of slavery and subjugation of your government....it is designed to happen slowly over many years so that no one notices it until the chains are firmly placed and locked...and then it may be too late.

Judge politicians and all men not by just what they may say at any certain time in their lifetime but by the actions that they take and if the actions are moral and consistent with our Founding Fathers' principles and documents.

Above all be vigilant and always be aware of liars and stand up to them and call them on their lies...otherwise we may loose this Republic.

ACORN ceases ops...April 1...how appropriate

From materials posted by Personal Liberty News Desk it appears that the very far left and controversial organizing group known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, President Obama's buddies during his days as a community organizer is going out of business because they are not going to get our federal tax payers dollars any more...well its about time. The official announced date for their closure is April 1st...how appropriate.

ACORN's funding and its reputation was hit hard by several reports of alleged voter fraud and embezzlement and a video which was wide spread.

Based on the video and the alleged voter fraud Congress pulled federal funding and private donors have backed away from the organization.

But will they really close down or simply divide and multiply under a myriad of AKAs (also known as) organizations making it more difficult to track and follow the questionable activities of these new organizations. I suspect that even though the head of the snake has been cut off the remaining parts will still be up to mischief....will any of it be illegal?

Handguns and caffeine

Starbucks Corp. has said its policy of letting in customers with handguns openly carried in states where openly carried handguns are legal will continue. The company will follow the law and not get in the middle between pro and anti gun advocates. So now you can pack heat not only in your cup of joe but on your belt. I bet there won't be many Starbucks stores being robed at gun point...it might prove dangerous to the robbers health to say the least. Also I bet there won't be many "whack jobs" going into Starbucks and opening fire on the customers unless they want to commit suicide by open carry civilians.

Stay tuned to this blog, I will let you know about their policy about states that permit concealed carry when I find out.

You can rest easy falsely believing that at any time and any place the police will come to your rescue and be there to save you and your family from injury or death at any time, night or day, seven days a week all year long....year after year.

If you are of a more realistic mindset and know that only you are ultimately responsible for your and your family's personal safety I recommend that you go to:

Gun fight...Washington D.C....Tuesday

In case after case across this country, in countless courtrooms it has been decided that the police are not liable or responsible for your personal safety or that of whatever property you possess or own. So who is? You are ultimately responsible for your own safety and that of your possessions.

In 2008 the Supreme Court struck down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban. On this coming Tuesday oral arguments will be presented to the Supreme Court to strike down the prohibition against law abiding Chicagoans from owning a handgun and keeping it in their home for self defence. We are not talking about concealed carry but just having a firearm in your home to protect yourself and your family. The case that will be presented is called McDonald v. City of Chicago. Why would anyone want to stop a law abiding citizen from defending his/her life, his/her families lives?

The attorneys general for Florida, Texas, Alaska, and 34 other states have urged the court to strike down Chicago 's gun ban. So have a majority of members of Congress and individual prosecutors from 34 California counties. What is it that these local mayors and small time politicians afraid off...could it be the realization that you, not govenment, are responsible for yourself and your family and that a lot of what they do is superfluous and unnecessary. If you don't have the fundamental right to defend your life you have nothing and the Constitution means nothing if this fundamental right is not upheld.

Similar problems at "The Acreage"?

"The Acreage" a town about 20 miles from West Palm Beach in Florida has been asking Florida officials to conduct more extensive tests to see what if anything may be causing higher rates of brain tumors and cancer among children. Health officials have confirmed higher rates than normal in that area. The local health department has done all it can and the state health department said it would further test the water and the soil.

The Governor, Charlie Crist, said he would seek federal help in the investigation.

According to the surgeon general of Florida the state health department has done all it can.

I know it is an uncomfortable feeling not to have an answer but sometimes that is just the way it is; someday the technology and medical insight will develop to the point that an absolute cause-effect relationship can be determined. This does little to settle the hurt and devastation and loss to the people affected by this tragic occurrence.

Hope floats....where is the CHANGE?

Shortly after President Elect Barack Obama became President Obama he came to Fort Myers Florida. He promised a gathering of about 1500 people at Harborside Event Center the following: "If we want to fully turn this crisis around the starting point is to get people back to work right now."

Well it hasn't happened, now almost a year later, Fort Myers still has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.....NO CHANGE. The unemployment rate has changed for the worse by increasing 2 percentage points to 13.8%...NO CHANGE EXCEPT NEGATIVE.

The $787 billion economic recovery plan NEVER CHANGED Fort Myers in a positive manner. So much for fulfilling CHANGE promises in a positive manner to the people of Fort Myers. The local failure reflects a expanding national dissatisfaction. His approval rating has dropped to 48% according to Gallup.

President Obama had better listen to the people or there will be a change at the helm of this country following the elections in 2012. He should start listening instead of blaming Pres. Bush and lecturing to the people, his boss, or he will be back in the classroom teaching law.

Haiti aid target of corruption & graft?

As I have often said no good deed goes unpunished; and I suspect that goes double in Haiti. The Cape Christian Fellowship in Cape Coral Florida collected thousands of dollars of goods for humanitarian aid for an orphanage in Haiti. When the donated humanitarian aid landed at the Cap-Haitien airport in Haiti corrupt Haitian custom officials demanded they pay $120 in duties in spite of the materials being labeled "No fees for humanitarian aid". The goods were diapers, baby food, toys and cribs were not allowed to leave the airport until the demand for payment was meet.

According to Cape Coral pilot, David Beauvois, "the government is so corrupt...what they really need to do is get the American military here to regulate like they do in Port-au-Prince." He also said that customs agents have been known to take the aid and keep it or sell it. The aid eventually did make its way to the orphanage after a multitude of hassles with Haitian officials and self appointed "officials?". If this is going on in just one part of the country you can imagine what the scale of corruption and graft is nation wide. Be careful to whom you donate money or goods too; make sure the charity is large enough and has enough clout to avoid this type of extortion.

Veterans Administration spying on you?

Under federal law, anyone who is "adjudicated as a mental defective" is a "prohibited person" who may not possess or receive firearms. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) interpretation of this has applied this term "prohibited person" to veterans and

family members who receive VA benefits, but who are unable to manage their own financial affairs.

For almost 10 years the VA has reported these financially challenged individuals and their family members to the FBI for inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This list is used to screen for and deny firearm purchases to these "so called" "prohibited persons". In a word they denied these people their Second Amendment Rights by interpreting what they considered a "prohibited person" is.

In Sept. 2009, the VA issued another directive to its regional offices, ordering staff to report potential (yes I did say potential) "prohibited persons" to the BATFE, where investigations could result in criminal (yes I did say criminal) prosecutions of GIs who were in combat, other veterans and family beneficiaries. Now they not only took away your Second Amendment Right but opened you up to criminal charges and incarceration. I thought we were fighting a War on Terrorism but apparently it included GIs, veterans and their family.

Finally after multiple complaints from the VA's own employees, legislators, and other organizations safeguarding our civil rights the VA rescinded this policy.

To safeguard our freedoms we must be eternally vigilante about individuals or agencies within our own government from slowly eroding our freedoms and their subtle and sometimes not to subtle attack on the Constitution of the United States of America. Be warned!

A Father's Day Present

Being a parent does have its rewards. I received this note some years ago from one of my children and though personal thought it should be shared with other parents that may be going through a hard time.

"Dad,
Happy Fathers Day!

There are so many things that you have taught me over the years and still do to this day.

I am so proud to have a father like you. I do my best to follow the examples you set. You are a great man with a heart of gold.

The most important things you have taught me is that family is everything and how to truly love.

You have always been there for me when I needed help or guidance even when I was not deserving of it; and that has taught me what true love/family is all about. So thank you for all you are and what you have taught me. I love you so much...you are my hero.

Signed ?"

So all you parents out there don't give up; you never know what good you may be doing even if it is not said right away.

The Second Great American Revolution Continues

The most important thing that Scott Brown's historic victory over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts proves, among many others, is this:

At this time, right now, in America, the liberal BS of the Democrats and their cronies in the media can't stop this Second American Revolution in spite of their lies and distortions of the truth; the American People have awakened to their tactics of deceit and lies and special deals for votes and will no longer tolerate it. The charisma and trust that many Americans believed to be an integral part of the persona of then Senator Barack Obama has all but vaporized into non-trust of a majority of Americans in now President Barack Obama...they are angry (outraged) and feel that they have been hoodwinked and sold a bill of goods they don't want. President Obama has lost a large part of the trust that many Americans had in him...and that trust has to be regained by actions not words scripted by his liberal democratic handlers. If he is straight with the American people he might, just might stand a chance of getting re-elected in 2012.

According to an Associated Press Article out of Washington "Americans quickly realized they have elected "the most radical leftist ever to serve as President of the United States."

Americans now realize that all of Obama's talk of "transparency" and "accountability" has only created conditions for a level of political sleaze, corruption and back-room wheeling and dealing far worse than anything Washington has seen in a very long time.

Americans have finally seen the hypocritical smooth talking rhetoric and the actual performance of President Obama; they have seen and now have had enough.

• They have had enough of Obama's crusade to force a multi-trillion-dollar health-care "reform" on America, replacing private healthcare with a government-run system that will empower federal bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions about your medical care.
• They have had enough of the out-of-control spending on bailouts and "stimulus" that have sent the federal deficit soaring to $1.8 trillion for 2009 alone - and even higher down the road - threatening to bankrupt our nation, destroy our currency, and impoverish our descendents for generations to come.
• They have had enough of the outrageous threats to investigate and prosecute Bush-era anti-terrorist agents and officials for the heroic work they did in keeping our country safe - while giving self-confessed terrorists like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Muhammed a civilian trial and affording him the rights of a US Citizen and paying for his defense attorneys.
• The have had enough of Obama's proposed tax hikes and tax "surcharges" to pay for all his spending programs that will drive U.S. tax rates higher even than the welfare -state economies of Europe.
• They have had enough of appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies, tax cheats, and political big spending leftists that Obama has appointed to the highest levels of government - while firing or abruptly "retiring" official govenment watchdogs who have blown the whistle on his cronies and their schemes.
• The have had enough of the endless procession of unelected "czars" President Obama has appointed -- 32 at last count -- to bring one sector after another of our economy and government under his direct control.
• They have had enough, in short, of how President Obama and his allies are rapidly destroying so much of what has made our country prosperous and free - while arrogating to themselves a degree of power that would make Hugo Chavez blush.

What about YOU HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?

REMEMBER WHEN YOU VOTE!

The Revolution has begun!

It takes a while to anger and disappoint and disgust the segment of the United States that is composed of conservative democrats, independent voters and republican voters but it appears that the Democratic Party and President Obama's CHANGE has done it big time and in about exactly one year from his inauguration into office. Yes, I believe a Revolution is about to take place, a Revolution in the voting booths all around this country and all those politicians that have rode on the backs of political machines had better take note; they are going to be judged not on what the machine tells them to do but on what their constituency tells them. The American voter is finally getting smart and is not just listening to what politicians SAY but what they DO after they get into office. They will be judged on their performance; no free rides anymore.

The victory of Republican Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in Mass. marks the third statewide loss in a row for the President's Democratic Party. It also gives the Republicans the 41st vote they need to block controversial legislation in the Senate. The Democrats would need a super majority to pass legislation...this is very, very unlikely to happen.

So congratulations America on starting to take back your government, your rights and your elected Representatives and Senators and keep a very close eye not only on what they SAY but what they DO.

A paradigm shift is in the wind and the velocity is increasing.

Deadlines..and..Chicken Little

Iran is giving the United Nations and the West warning that unless they accept Iran's counter proposal in one month it will produce react0r fuel at a higher level of enrichment on its own.

Now if this is the game they want to play, "Chicken" fine; we should say nothing except thanks for sending us your mandated demand to us. The only thing Iran is good at is fomenting terrorism and playing chicken with the UN and the West. Again not a word should be spoken for that month. When that period of one month is over, we and our allies should go, at our chosen time, with the largest air strike we can muster and incinerate the known production and research centers that are contributing to the production of nuclear weapons.

After it is over we should again say nothing and say "what air strike" just like their President said "what Holocaust, it never happened." When they start to rebuild their nuclear production facilities then do the same thing...that's how to really play Chicken. Would not take to long until either the regime was overturned or they learned how to play a more honest game with the UN and the Western Allies.

Words accomplish nothing with this regime; the only thing they answer too is power and its use.

Soon there will be regime change in Iran

Theocracy may soon be on the way out like the Shaw of Iran exited many years ago following a surging uprising of the everyday persons of the middle class of Iran. They have seen the evils of a previous tyranny and a current theocracy and they don't seem to like either. I believe they want a secular government like Turkey or the United States. I believe it as gone beyond the time for talk and is now the time for the United Nations and the United States to , in a very tangible, way to help the masses of Iranians get the kind of government that they so badly want...after Iran, (the Imams), get the atomic bomb it will be to late and only really bad options will remain on the table to consider by conservative Arab, European and Western countries. Act now or the future will only get worse.

Seven murdered on CIA Director Leon Panetta's Watch

Seven CIA employees including the chief of the CIA post, a mother of three, were murdered, blown up, by a militant Islamic jihadist. This was on CIA Director Leon Panetta's watch. If it was you or I who was put in charge of a project of importance in the civilian sector and we failed on an equivalent degree we would be looking for a new job. But political ally of President Obama continues at his job as though nothing has really happened. They both say a few kind and appropriate words about the killed and injured individuals and then go on about business as usual. I do believe that an incident like this one deserves the dismissal of Director Leon Panetta, with prejudice. Get someone who can DO THE JOB, not one of your buddies. The President needs to "get real" and not run a "Chicago Style" machine in the White House.

Inovative way to reduce the federal deficit...death

The Montana Supreme Court may have just opened the doors leading to a new industry and a way that would make federal bean counters very happy because it would not only reduce the strain on Social Security but also Medicare and Medicaid. Montana has joined the ranks of two other states that now find nothing wrong in physician assisted suicide. Just think of the great federally subsidized "Termination Centers" spread out all over this great country of ours. The great country whose government is always looking out for your best interests. With federally subsidized centers they could council you and terminate you humanely for just about any reason unless you were young and had a future in which you would contribute a great amount of taxes to the government. If you were old, sickly or ready to go on Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid the process of termination would be smooth and fast.

Just think of the brand new horizon of government health care including of course "Termination Centers" for those people humanly chosen by your caring government to be terminated because it is in their best interest based on the govenment's standards. Wow....what a wonderful future to look forward too.

Adjectives important in WAR TIME REPORTING

In reading this morning's News-Press, the News Digest section on the front page reported,in small print, "A suicide bomber detonates his explosive vest .... killing eight Americans." What the leading line of the front page of the newspaper should have read in one inch bold print is SUICIDAL MILITANT ISLAMIST JIHADIST MURDERS EIGHT AMERICANS; that would have described what happened in a much more focused and truthful manner consistent with what is really happening in the war against jihadists which is a fight to the death initiated and continued by this murderous faction against western ideas, freedoms and civilization. This is going to be a WAR that will last a long time; probably until the great majority of peaceful, law abiding Muslims stand up and crush this faction of their high jacked religion from the people who would use it not only to kill infidels (non-Muslims) but their fellow Muslims who just don't go along with their brand of Islam. Until this happens the WAR will continue to go on and more and more people will die using Allah/God to justify their actions. This is the greatest sin of all.

Excited

I am very excited; I have just become an international blogger. I received a comment, a positive one, on my last blog. The gentleman goes by "Fighter Jet" and resides in India and is in the consulting business. Now my reach goes beyond McHenry County Illinois to the vast world encompassing the Internet. The truth will set us free...the media is being forced to be fair and balanced or those who are not will go out of business...there is hope so do not despair.

Wow...did you really get CHANGE?

You were promised during the campaign:

• CHANGE
• BIPARTISANSHIP
• TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT
• NO MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASES

And what did you get:

• NO REAL CHANGE
• NO BIPARTISANSHIP
• NO TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT
• ALL SORTS OF MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASES FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR GREAT GREAT GRANDCHILDREN

REMEMBER THE PROMISES AND WHO PROMISED THEM AND WHAT PARTY THAT HAD HIM AS THEIR CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT AND DO THE RIGHT THING THE NEXT TIME YOU VOTE!

President "plan a day" Obama

It seems that every time I turn on the radio, watch the TV or open the newspaper President Obama has a new plan to announce for the day. Usually they are vague, cloudy, foggy and don't contain any specific details on how he is going to do it or afford it. The one thing it does do is keep his face and voice in the public venue....like he really is doing something. Announcing a plan of the day and really getting something accomplished are two different things. Just like a politician's promises and what he really accomplishes are two different things. Words, promises and plans are nothing unless they accomplish what they are supposed to do...as we all have seen, what politicians say to bolster their image and improve their public approval rating is one thing and what they really do can be a world apart. So listen to all the nice talk, promises and goals but follow them up by seeing if anything ever gets accomplished. Look in today's Herald and read about his new plan of the day, his "job - creation plan". I can also promise you the world and everything in it but if I were you I would not believe me because I couldn't deliver on my promise. So BEWARE of prophets and Presidents bearing to many promises.

Mr. President, be a Leader not a Lawyer!

"Change","we can do it" and all the energy of the Obama campaign: where has it gone? When I was listening to the address the President made to the cadets at West Point Military Academy I felt as though he was giving a eulogy at a funeral. President Obama, the Commander in Chief, the supreme leader of the military of this great nation first asks these brave, young, courageous young men and women to do their duty which in many cases means to risk their young lives and is some cases to give their lives for this country and then the next moment he is talking about a withdrawal strategy...what school of leadership did he go to?

The cadets wanted to hear something uplifting, bigger than themselves, patriotic and heroic... not when we are coming home and details of politicians and foreign policy. You may have delivered what the left wanted, the middle wanted and the right wanted but what the cadets wanted to hear was we are in this until VICTORY has be won.

As a lawyer I'll give you an "A" for the speech; as a President, Commander in Chief, and Leader of America an "F". Mr. President, keep trying, maybe someday you will get it...I pray.

WAR is about KILLING

The movie Letters from Iwo Jima is a very good movie but it could never have been made during the days of the Second World War; the timing would have been all wrong. During the war we did not want to think of Japanese soldiers as being human beings with wives and families and the things that are shared by all sentient beings. During war the prime objective is to kill the enemy as fast and in great enough numbers to entirely wipe him out...so that there is not a chance of him coming back some day and re- initiating retaliation. Ancient civilizations knew this simple fact. Today we seem to forget what they knew; they knew that you don't want to understand your enemy you simply want to dehumanize him and kill him before he can kill you.

I understand and respect the position of Professor Marc Falkoff of Northern Illinois University but I disagree with his timing and maybe his motivation because I cannot read his mind. During a time of war we cannot afford the luxury of trying to understand and show the enemy compassion; our job is to win and to win the enemy has to be dehumanized and made into a beast that needs to be killed and destroyed. It is difficult to kill a fellow human being if you attribute to him feelings of love of family, wife, children and all the good attributes we attach to humanity. Therefore both sides, in war, dehumanize the enemy so that killing can be made easier and less traumatic to the individual doing the killing; it is not a natural act that comes naturally to most of us but has to be taught and drilled into us...thank God.

I believe that the time for understanding, showing compassion for reading his reflections and poetry is after we have won the War on Terrorism. To do so when we are engaged in it would only weaken our resolve and focus on VICTORY, a word that I did not hear once during President Obama's speech at West Point.
