RELOAD!!!!!!!


RELOAD!!!!!!!
Kevin Bryant

WARNING: Progress For America, The Democratic National Committee, The Democratic Congressional Caucus, The White House, Homeland Security, Time Magazine, The New York Times, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Every Left Wing Organization and Every Left Wing Nutjob will declare this as an attempt to incite violence using hate speech.

If you are like me, you used up a lot of energy over the past 20 or so months taking a stand against what has turned out to be the biggest government intrusion into our personal lives, the biggest intrusion into Corporate America and the largest government takeover of private business that has been seen since the 1930’s.

Americans have not just stood on the sidelines while the past two congresses and administrations have done whatever they pleased. No, this America in not the America of the 1950’s through the 1990’s. Sure, I know that there was Anti-War protest in the 60’s and 70’s. Yet even those pale in comparison to the Tea Party Rally’s and the 9-12 gatherings across America today. There are major differences between today and those protesting the Vietnam War. Those that protested the Vietnam War are the ones in power today. They incited violence. Go back and look at any foot age of the war rallies of the 1960’s and 70’s. Almost every rally turned violent. Over 90% of those that attended the rallies voted democrat. Yet congress, left wing organizations and even the same media that shot the footage of the violence want you to believe that Tea Partiers and 9-12’ers are more dangerous than those radicals back then. Go back to the early 70’s and the tragedy on Kent State University. 100’s of students turned on the police that were there to keep order. Several students were shot and some died. Almost every one of those students were members of the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society, a Marxist / Socialist group founded on college campuses and studied the teachings of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. I have yet to see a Tea Party member turn and attempt to attack the police or even a person with an opposing view. However, according to homeland security and the mainstream media, Tea Party members, 9-12’ers, right wing Christians, conservative veterans, we are the true threats to America in their eyes.

Let’s go back a little further in history, the Civil Rights movement. If Martin Luther King had lived to see Civil Rights legislation signed into law, the next election held, he would have voted republican. Why do I say this? I’m going to give several examples to back up my statement. Almost every lawyer who helped bring about equal justice in the south voted republican. Many worked for free and took cases that they had no chance of winning but were not going to allow a crooked justice system to just railroad blacks without a fight. It wasn’t democrat voters; it was white college students that voted republican who walked arm in arm with blacks down the main streets of Mobile and Birmingham Alabama, Jackson and Hattiesburg Mississippi and it was white republican voters who surrounded the first black students who entered Central High School in Little Rock and again at the University of Alabama. Both occurred under protest from the state. Both Arkansas and Alabama at the time was lead by a democrat governor and a democrat controlled state congress who authorized the mobilization of the National Guard in a last ditch effort to stop these occurrences from happening. Many of the politicians and county sheriffs in the south during the Civil Rights era were controlled by democrats. Who do you think got these people elected into office? Where do you think they got the money to continue to run for office from? The majority of the support for these people came from state chapters of the Ku Klux Klan directly or funneled through other organizations. Which party filibustered against Civil Rights legislation? Hint, it was NOT the republicans. Which party elected a high ranking member of the KKK to the United States Congress and has kept him there for 4 decades? Hint, it was NOT the Republican Party. Lastly, Martin Luther King put a priority on spiritual wealth, not material wealth. Republicans throughout much of the last 70 years has been about inclusiveness. Does anyone think Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton could have used racial divides to amass so much wealth and power if they were following Martin Luther King’s example.

Now is the time to reload. Now is the time to take aim at the remaining Obama agenda and set out to kill it dead in its tracks. Now is the time to seek out and destroy false claims and statements made by members of congress and the administration. Arm yourself with the truth and have faith in your fellow man that when presented with the truth, he will make the right decisions. Now is the time to blow up Obama’s propaganda machine. Now is the time to terminate the political lives of those in office that serves any administration and party over their constituents. Having used words like blow up, terminate, take aim……..I wonder how long it will take Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder to come knocking on my door because they have deemed me as a threat to the United States. I’m sure they will come knocking on my door before they do some rapper who sings about killing cops.

We The People verses The Government of the United States. This battle will continue long after we perish from this earth. There will always be people like Obama, FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Bill & Hillary who want to change America into their idea of a socialist utopia. They will seek to centralize power at the federal level and use tactics and slogans like; “For the greater good”. Throughout history, nothing good has ever come from centralized government power, and America would be no different.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself. ~Thomas Jefferson

Taxes


Taxes
William G Burmer

One can study the wisdom of Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith and others who warned of the sins of excessive taxation. Yet unless heeded has caused the downfall of great civilizations; ours is without exception.


It is clearly inscribed within the Constitution, if we would follow that rule of law, everyone who would be called an American could be very prosperous; not only in terms of money and property, but more importantly, because personal sovereignty would be protected from a large unchecked government. Every Nation would want to follow our example. That rule of law as set forth within the Constitution is born from common law, that is, the laws of nature and God.


Our Liberties are an inheritance from our Founders and the inspiration they received from our Savior. We ought not to treat them lightly less they become irretrievably lost to us. Our current tax system will eventually consume our liberties with its abusive statutes and regulations. It thumbs its nose at due process and makes criminals of its citizens. The IRS claims that our system of taxation is voluntary, then why should we be forced to voluntarily give up our wealth? Government financing is constitutionally defined see Article 1, Section 8; clause 6 and 7, note that it is not voluntary. It must be limited as outlined in Section 9; ours is no longer limited; government must not have power to enlarge the scope of their taxing power, yet the Congress abrogated their constitutional responsibility to the Federal Reserve (not enough people know that the IRS is a collection agency for the FED, AND Neither the IRS nor the Fed are legitimate agencies of the government, THEY ARE PRIVATE CORPORATIONS. They however, now assume they have the power to do whatever they desire. The Congress believes we are sleeping at the voting booth. We should be demanding redress for these abuses from them, and see that they are ousted at the voting booth when they do not comply. You may find this of interest:


"Governments descend to the Level of a mere private corporation, and takes on the characteristics of a mere private citizen... where private corporate commercial paper [Federal Reserve Notes] and securities [checks] is concerned. ... For purposes of suit, such corporations and individuals are regarded as entities entirely separate from government." – Supreme Court decision

Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States 318 U.S. 363-371



What the Clearfield Doctrine is saying is that when private commercial paper is used by corporate government, then Government loses its sovereignty status and becomes no different than a mere private corporation.


The principle of accountability by government comes under the jurisdiction of the Congress; see Section 10 clause 1. Think about it. If a father and husband battles each pay day to balance his limited budget, and sees a tycoon in a resplendent automobile, he may believe that just one of the tycoons’ cuff links would solve all his problems.


Political voices cry out constantly to soak the rich for they make too much, or, they are not paying their “fair share.” Speaking for “Joe six-pack” or “the little guy” again the politicians cry out, “we feel your pain, you have so little, let us help you!” Many blindly believe their rhetoric.


No one tells him (the little guy) that the higher taxes imposed on the wealthy will not come out of their living expenditures. It comes from their investments and savings. Such taxes mean less investment, less production, fewer jobs, and finally higher prices for scarcer goods. As the rich have to lower their standard of living, the struggling husband and fathers’ income will be gone along with his savings and his job.


To many tend to forget, or are so blinded by negative rhetoric aimed at the wealthy, they fail to think of the fact that it is the wealthy which provide jobs, and benefits to those who are employed. Class envy has been and is cleverly used by the politicians to divide people into, upper, upper middle, lower middle, and lower classes. (Even these distinctions have now been relegated to UPPER AND LOWER CLASS in contemporary 2010, I wrote this in 2002). Thus the politician’s power base increases as he makes promises to each, most of which he will never be able to fulfill. We have become so used to the lie that we have learned to accept it as “politics as usual.” Rarely but ever so often a politician does come along who really means what they say and follows through with their promises.


Government spending being at the heart of our economic problems in the 1970’s and early 80’s, dubbed “Reaganomics” by the media, Ronald Reagan during his administration, cut government spending, made large tax cuts for business and individuals, and created incentives (a 25% tax cut for individuals, and faster write offs for businesses) to increase more jobs. He in addition combated inflation by controlling government spending. His efforts received mixed reviews but by 1988 after reducing tax rates, and removing low-income persons from the tax rolls, Reagan practically guaranteed his Vice president would be the next President to occupy the White House. He became the most popular President we have had since John Kennedy. If people read and understood the principles of wealth guaranteed by the Constitution they would not have allowed their legislators to continue soaking them with the tax burdens of the past almost one hundred years.


THE AWFUL TRUTH


“People are often dumbfounded to learn that in a tax dispute, taxpayers who want to go to a regular court have to pay the tax debt, and then sue to get their money back. Whoever would have imagined that in the twentieth century, debtors, in order to have their day in court, would have to pay a disputed debt first, and then sue to get their payment back? The counterpart of this is that you can’t enjoin (prohibit) the collection of an illegal tax. If you can’t pay---if the tax might destroy your business or take away your home or livelihood--- that is too bad. Bankruptcy offers no relief as it does for ordinary debts. So much for Congress Article 1, Sec 8 Clause 4 “To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the Subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States ...”


On top of all this there are over 150 penal provisions to trap and punish you for just about any error or slip-up, no matter how excusable, that you may make in dealing with the vast jungle of rules and regulations every taxpayer is required to know, but obviously doesn’t know. Penalties often exceed the taxes owed. These penalties add a kind of audit terrorism to the system.


The General Accounting Office reports that the IRS cannot manage this vast web of entrapments and that 44 % of all penalties assessed by the IRS are wrong. 13% of these outrageously high percentages of penalties are wrongly assessed, how many are wrongly paid by taxpayers wanting to get the tax man off their back? . . .” (Ital. Added)


The presumptions and stacked-deck procedures in favor of the taxman go against the grain of a democratic (REPUBLIC) society in which all litigants should be equal before the law. All I am proposing is that the tax man should be equal along with the rest of us, rather than more equal as he now is.” (Ital. Added) Come on Congress do your job!


In a speech given before a Press Club in Orange County, California July 28th, 1961 Ronald Reagan said: “We have received this progressive tax direct from Karl Marx, who designed it as the prime essential of a Socialist State . . . There can be no moral justification of the progressive tax.” It, in truth, is an amoral system! 8.


The second plank of the Communist Manifesto reads: “The proletariat (National Leader) will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie (working class) to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the State, . . . (by) a heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 9” (Ital. Added)

Sunshine, Lollipops & Poetic Social Justice


Sunshine, Lollipops & Poetic Social Justice
Kevin Bryant

Brothers and Sisters, today is it my honor and my privilege to welcome Brother Barack to the pulpit. May glory and graciousness be bestowed upon our Brother.

(Obama emerges on stage singing)

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Zip-a-dee-ay!
My, oh my, what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Zip-a-dee-ay!

With Nancy and Harry on my shoulder.
It's the truth, its actual.
And my healthcare bill is satisfactual.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feeling. Wonderful day.

Come on everybody its a doo dah day!
Come on everybody have fun this day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Zip-a-dee-ay!
My, oh my, it's an Obama kinda day!
Theres plenty of good times heading my way.
Zip Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Zip-a-dee-ay!

They said it couldn’t be done, but I said “Yes We Can”.
They said Oh No, not here in America, but I did it.
They said the American people won’t stand for it, but I got it done.

Total transformation. We are on our way and no one can stop us now.

They said, Barack, social justice will never happen in America. We have tried it and we have failed every time. But you know me; I like it when the odds are against me. Sunny days are finally here to stay.

Yes, healthcare took longer than I thought to happen, but we have taken one giant step towards a single payer system, and nothing is going to stop us from reaching our goal of having everyone in America getting their health care provided at no cost to them by the government.

80 percent, 80 percent control of the U.S. economy. That is my goal. Only when we get there will I be satisfied. Only when we get there can we have real reform in this country. Only at 80 percent will we finally be able to bring forth true social justice for the people. Today we stand at 52 percent. Nancy has already done her job with Cap & Trade. Now all we need is Harry and my GOP inside man, Lindsey Graham to bring home the bacon on Cap & Trade and we can add 10 percent to that total.

Now those teabaggers, those teabaggers are shouting “What about the constitution”. I say “What about it”? It has long since served its purpose and it is time for it to be put to pasture. It had its time. Now is Obama time. It’s our time to take what rightfully should have been ours long before I ever came into office…………………

(Obama fades out and real time sets in)

With the exception of Obama actually singing, this is more real than what any of us want to believe.

Obama wants everyone to believe that the more the government can control our lives, the more sunshine and lollipop days we will have in this country. We will want for nothing because government will provide it. Social Justice will prevail when the majority of the wealthy in this country lose their wealth and it is distributed as government sees fit.

No one including me wants to make the claim that Obama was elected president because he got 96 percent of the black vote in America. Though that is the largest percentage in history of any voting block to go for a single candidate, it was not what elected him to office. It was those in college and the under thirty crowd who believed in him and the progressive agenda he represents that put him over the top. He promised them a world without worry. He promised a world where everyone is equal. He promised them the impossible. Now you and I know that there is no such thing as social equality. There are always the haves and the have nots. There are those who chose to work hard and those who choice to be a victim of some fictional injustice. There are those who have spirit, drive and ambition and we have those who chose to do little or nothing to better themselves.

Too many of the young people in this country want everything handed to them. They want the government to provide them a free college education because they believe it is their right. They want government to provide them with a job because they are entitled to one. They want to be given a nice home and a nice car because others have them, but forget the fact that those that do have them had to work and obtained these things over time, not all at once and not without great cost. Soon, many will be graduating from college with their B.A. degrees and will be demanding that an employer give them a six figure salary job because they believe they are entitled to one.

The young of this country who supported and voted for Obama, many are not even working. They are living day to day on welfare. Those that do have jobs, many are part time jobs in small businesses or minimum wage jobs. Starting with July 2009 (in my opinion) the state of the economy no longer belonged to George Bush or the GOP, Obama took ownership of it. Since July of last year, many of those who supported and believed in Obama have lost their jobs because their employers had to close up shop, but that didn’t stop them from still believing. Now with the passage of the democrat healthcare bill, many more small businesses will be forced to close up shop because they will not be able to afford healthcare for all their full and part time employers. Larger businesses will be less likely to hire those entering the workforce because the economy has stalled again yet the tax burdens of these companies has increased, thus offsetting any gains they have made over the past year.

America’s young adults, you got the president you wanted. You got the healthcare bill you demanded to have but you do not know what price you had to pay to get it, but you will soon learn. It’s poetic social justice that the same young Americans who supported Obama are the first ones losing their jobs because of Obama’s policies and his handling of the economy. Never a more true example of the old saying, “you reap what you sew”.

A story from the restaurant

I was in my neighborhood restaurant this morning and was seated behind a group of jubilant individuals celebrating the successful passing of the recent health care bill. I could not finish my breakfast. This is what ensued:

They were a diverse group of several races and both sexes. I heard the young man exclaim, “Isn’t Obama like Jesus Christ? I mean, after all, he is healing the sick.” The young woman enthusiastically proclaimed, “Yeah, and he does it for free. I cannot believe anyone would think that a free market would work for health care. They are all crooks and thieves and don’t deserve all of that money.” Another said, ‘The stupid Republicans want us all to starve to death so they can inherit all of the power. Obama should be made a Saint for what he did for those of us less fortunate.” At this, I had had enough.

I arose from my seat, mustering all the restraint I could find, and approached their table. “Please excuse me; may I impose upon you for one moment?” They smiled and welcomed me to the conversation. I stood at the end of their table, smiled as best I could and began an experiment.

“I would like to give one of you my house. It will cost you no money and I will pay all of the expenses and taxes for as long as you live there. Anyone interested?” They looked at each other in astonishment. “Why would you do something like that?” asked a young man, “There isn’t anything for free in this world.” They began to laugh at me, as they did not realize this man had just made my point. “I am serious, I will give you my house for free, no money what so ever. Anyone interested?” In unison, a resounding “Hell Yeah” fills the room.

“Since there are too many of you, I will have to make a choice as to who receives this money free bargain.” I noticed an elderly couple was paying attention to the spectacle unfolding before their eyes, the old man shaking his head in apparent disgust. “I tell you what; I will give it to the one of you most willing to obey my rules.” Again, they looked at one another, an expression of bewilderment on their faces. The perky young woman asked, “What are the rules?” I smiled and said, “I don’t know. I have not yet defined them. However, it is a free home that I offer you.” They giggled amongst themselves, the youngest of which said, “What an old coot. He must be crazy to give away his home. Go take your meds, old man.” I smiled and leaned into the table a bit further. “I am serious, this is a legitimate offer.” They gaped at me for a moment.

“Hell, I’ll take it you old fool. Where are the keys?” boasted the youngest among them. “Then I presume you accept ALL of my terms then?” I asked. The elderly couple seemed amused and entertained as they watched from the privacy of their table. “Oh hell yeah! Where do I sign up?” I took a napkin and wrote, “I give this man my home, without the burden of financial obligation, so long as he accepts and abides by the terms that I shall set forth upon consummation of this transaction.” I signed it and handed it to the young man who eagerly scratched out his signature. “Where are the keys to my new house?” he asked in a mocking tone of voice. All eyes were upon us as I stepped back from the table, pulling the keys from pocket and dangling them before the excited new homeowner.

“Now that we have entered into this binding contract, witnessed by all of your friends, I have decided upon the conditions you are obligated to adhere from this point forward. You may only live in the house for one hour a day. You will not use anything inside of the home. You will obey me without question or resistance. I expect complete loyalty and admiration for this gift I bestow upon you. You will accept my commands and wishes with enthusiasm, no matter the nature. Your morals and principles shall be as mine. You will vote as I do, think as I do and do it with blind faith. These are my terms. Here are your keys.” I reached the keys forward and the young man looked at me dumb founded.

“Are you out of your freaking mind? Who would ever agree to those ridiculous terms?” the young man appeared irritated. “You did when you signed this contract before reading it, understanding it and with the full knowledge that I would provide my conditions only after you committed to the agreement.” Was all I said. The elderly man chuckled as his wife tried to restrain him. I was looking at a now silenced and bewildered group of people. “You can shove that stupid deal up you’re a** old man, I want no part of it” exclaimed the now infuriated young man. “You have committed to the contract, as witnessed by all of your friends; you cannot get out of the deal unless I agree to it. I do not intend to let you free now that I have you ensnared. I am the power you agreed to. I am the one you blindly and without thought chose to enslave yourself to. In short, I am your Master.” At this, the table of celebrating individuals became a unified group against the unfairness of the deal.

After a few moments of unrepeatable comments and slurs, I revealed my true intent. “What I did to you is what this administration and congress did to you with the health care legislation. I easily suckered you in and then revealed the real cost of the bargain. Your folly was in the belief that you can have something you did not earn; that you are entitled to that which you did not earn; that you willingly allowed someone else to think for you. Your failure to research, study and inform yourself permitted reason to escape you. You have entered into a trap from which you cannot flee. Your only chance of freedom is if your new Master gives it unto you. A freedom that is given can also be taken away; therefore, it is not freedom.” With that, I tore up the napkin and placed it before the astonished young man. “This is the nature of your new health care legislation.”

I turned away to leave these few in thought and contemplation and was surprised by applause. The elderly gentleman, who was clearly entertained, shook my hand enthusiastically and said, “Thank you Sir, these kids don’t understand Liberty these days.” He refused to allow me to pay my bill as he said, “You earned this one, it is an honor to pickup the tab.” I shook his hand in thanks, leaving the restaurant somewhat humbled, and sensing a glimmer of hope for my beloved country.

Use reason, it is the closest you are going to get to Godly conduct

Obama wants to microchip everyone like a dog!


Obama wants to microchip everyone like a dog!
Al Ritter

Here we are as Nancy Pelosi said, let’s just vote on the Healthcare bill and THEN we can see what’s in it! Well Nancy, you got your bill passed, and now we are getting to see what the democrats jammed into it, and I for one am NOT happy.

H.R. 3200 was the bill the senate passed, then the House had to do their amendments to get a final vote, that bill is H.R. 3962, now mind you that H.R. 3962 is ONLY additional amendments to H.R. 3200 not a total replacement . With that being said, unless a specific area was amended, the wording of H.R 3200 stands.

Now for the wording:



Required RFID implanted chip
Sec. 2521, Pg. 1000 – The government will establish a National Medical Device Registry. What does a National Medical Device Registry mean?
National Medical Device Registry from H.R. 3200 [Healthcare Bill], pages 1001-1008:
(g)(1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that— ‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘(B)and is— ‘‘(i) a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”
Then we go to page 1004 to describe what the actual term “data” means
section B:
‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to information respecting a device described in paragraph (1), including claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary”
What exactly is a class II implantable device? The FDA says it is an “implantable radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health information.” The purpose of a class II device is to collect data in medical patients such as “claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary.”

The last part is scary in itself; there are a lot of questions unanswered, such as ……if the data includes “claims data” who updates the information and when? What exactly is a “disparate data environment?” And the biggest question is….will this transponder include a GPS capability?

Don’t believe me? Check out the government site and judge for yourself
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm072191.pdf

Don’t believe it’s in the bill? Look it up for yourself
http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf

The areas to look at are pages 1001-1008 listed as “National Medical Device Registry”
Then page 1006 where it stated that this be enacted 36 months of passage
Now go back to page 505 where it refers to the implantable device as “medical device surveillance”

The word surveillance alone speaks to something far more ominous than just claims data
The FDA has said that the recent claims of tumors in dogs who have been chipped are the research responsibility of the implant manufacturers and not that of the FDA because the implants are not considered a drug. So the policing of medical research is left solely to the makers.

America has just become the world’s first country to require micro chipping of all its citizens, and Nancy Pelosi wanted us to follow her in blind trust in passage of this bill, now that we see what is in it, what can we do about it?

Applied Digital Solutions already have the GPS patent on implantable chip technology
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_Digital_Solutions

Here is a video explaining this technology

This isn’t about Healthcare


This isn’t about Healthcare
Al Ritter

For the last year and a half we have not been dealing with individual mandates that the liberal progressives want, we have been dealing with ideologies. To the liberals, ideology means everything. To Obama one successful campaign after another is all his Presidency will ever be about, because he lacks the leadership skills to transfer his campaign skills into managerial skills. Obama leaves the “details” to people like Emanuel and Axlerod, which make the glaringly obvious contradictions all that more apparent.

To understand the left you need to understand the intent. They intend to transform America from what it started as in 1776 to yet another country that looks, acts, and smells like any other country in the European Union. They seek to even out the economic playing field among their citizens, but at the same time exclude themselves, and the special interests that put them into a position of power, from said policies.

Their aim is to tax the upper class even more than it’s taxed now, and inflict an inequitable structure to divide the classes. This move clearly shows that they intend to start inter-class wars, and to vilify the business world and those who work cleverly enough or smart enough to make money.

America became world leaders during the Industrial Revolution, when the cleverest of entrepreneurs designed and built the machinery to bring us into the next century. It is amazing to think that our meteoric rise to world leadership has happened in a relatively short period of 230 years. Our patent offices were the very basis of rewarding the best thinkers in our country.

Policies of this administration will reverse that capitalistic advantage that the United States has always enjoyed. Research and technological advances will become things of the past because the government will deem them unnecessary, and needless money wasters. Under the new healthcare laws, the privacy of your medical history will become a thing of the past, medical insurance fraud will flourish, and the government bureaucracy will have to double to handle the load. Doctors are already being told what they can earn through the “doc fix” which is sort of ironic, because it has fixed nothing, only kicked the ball farther down the road for someone else to fix. Student loans have been taken over by the government now, added to the other monopolies the government owns.

Publicly owned companies have become the targets of government. It used to be they were only answerable to their shareholders, but according to this administration, the government can place salary caps on management, placed by some third rate bureaucrat. Who will be next? You silently watch while the new policies don’t affect you, but you can bet they will eventually. Will you voice your opinion then?

It’s funny how the government sees Corporations as the bad guys, and patents as holding the monopolies of this country, but in actuality the private sector knows how to make the money, but the government only knows how to take the money from the golden goose and distribute it to the people THEY see as fit recipients. To give a glaring example of government greed isn’t difficult. Let’s look at the oil companies, they make billions of dollars a year, but they sell billions of gallons a year and their profit margin is tight, some say as little as 3 cents a gallon. The government retrieves more in taxes than the oils companies make in profit on the products. Add that to the fact that the government invests nothing in the way of cost to reap their benefits, no research, no refineries, no employees…….NOTHING. Who is the bigger thief here?

It all boils down to one question. Do you think that government should participate in the social programs and agenda to make one person pay for benefits of another, or do you believe that every person should be responsible for themselves?
Everyone needs to pick a side on this debate, there can be no middle of the road here, and citizens who wander in the middle of the road get hit by traffic.

Deflated


Deflated
Kevin Bryant

After last Sunday’s healthcare vote in the house, it is hard not to feel deflated. It seems like the people of the United States has done nothing but fought against the policies and agenda of this president since the day he took office.

Next comes the immigration crisis, then that will be followed by the education crisis using no child left behind as a basis to control all education public and private, then the climate change crisis leading to cap and trade, after that there will be who knows. The government owns half the car industries, many of the banks and financial institutions, they now control healthcare and for the love of God, I don’t know how government control of student loans made its way into a healthcare bill.

Overwhelm the system. That was the strategy of Cloward and Piven. It was also the strategy of Saul Alinsky. One item after another after another in rapid succession until the foundation crumbles under the pressure. In this case, the foundation is the constitution. When you have an administration and congress that circumvents and/or completely ignores the constitution, then it doesn’t take long for it to mean nothing anymore. In the eyes of the administration and congress, it is a document that has restricted the government for far too long and has outlived its usefulness.

Another aspect of overwhelming the system is to take the fight out of the people. Once the people give up hope of retaining the God given rights, government is allowed to whatever it feels like and wants to do. We have been fighting for what is now 15 straight months against this administration and this congress. When you throw in the bailout bill of the Bush administration and the 2008 election cycle, we conservatives have been fighting for around 2 straight years. I stand in awe of the people of this country who still has any fight at all left in them because I have to tell you, I’m pretty drained.

Not all the fighting against the government has been by conservatives either. We have been joined this past year by many independents and moderate democrats. Somewhere between half and three quarters all Americans has been against 2 or more actions by the government in the past year alone. In all these fights, we, the American people have come out the loser. Besides having to take up arms against our own government, what other way is there to actually get our elected members in congress to do the job they were sent to Washington to do and represent us, We The People?

Like many of you, though I want to give up and quit fighting because I am tired of losing, I will continue to stand up and fight for our country, our freedoms and our way of life as intended by God for us.

Stay strong America. November will eventually get here and TOGETHER, we can start voting these self serving clowns out of office and not stop until we get true representation in Washington.

The Missing 13th Amendment


“Titles of Nobility” and “Honor”
The Missing 13th Amendment

William G Burmer


“In the winter of 1983, archival research expert David Dodge, former Baltimore police investigator and Tom Dunn, were searching for evidence of government corruption in public records stored in the Belfast Library on the coast of Maine.’


‘By chance, they discovered the library’s oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States (printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. Moreover, after studying the Amendment’s language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this “missing” 13th Amendment was to prohibit lawyers, accredited by the BAR (British Accredited Regency) from serving in government.”


They began to research this discovery over a period of seven years. The following are the results of their search. When we consider the struggle our founders had in constructing our Constitution, taking into account all their varying personalities, it is a miracle of the largest proportions that any final consensus was ever achieved. Thankfully they were able to put aside many of their personal wishes so that we can have, what they finally regarded was the best Republican form of government that could be constructed.


The Constitution would not, however, erase human natures disposition for disagreement and selfish desires for power over principle. The “two party” system of government was in the works from the beginning. After the election of John Adams in 1800 the two party systems would be firmly in place embodied in the Federalist and the Republicans, each with a unique ideology and purpose.


There were many conservative Federalist who desired a centralized government. On the other hand the Anti-Federalist Republicans were skeptical of the Constitutional powers ability to protect citizen’s rights. They desired additional amendments to insure citizen sovereignty.

They were equally unsure that powers of honor and titles of nobility might not become a part of the new system, and give rise to a new Monarchy.


From the beginning of President Washington s’ first administration these concerns were evident. His vice president John Adams counseled with senators on how to receive the President into the congressional chambers. Should they stand or sit? (They stood). How should the President be addressed? Adams suggested, “His Highness, the President of the United States of America and Protector of Their Liberties.” This was definitely too English; in the end the House agreed that “The President of the United States” would do just fine.


It was not long before Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were convinced that Alexander Hamilton, as Treasury Secretary, was leading the way towards creating a moneyed oligarchy and that titles of nobility would come next. Madison, for one, was fearful of the destruction of the new “Republic.” The idea of turning bankers, investors, and lawyers into baron s’, earls and esquires reeked of monarchical controls for which the revolution spilled its blood to prevent only a few years previous.


Amongst the original 145 to 200 amendments proposed in 1789 as a Bill of Rights for the people was an amendment introduced by Senator Tristram Dalton of Massachusetts, which sought to prohibit and provide a penalty for any American accepting a “Title of Nobility.” (RG 46 Records of the U.S. Senate). It was not passed but it was the first time such an amendment was proposed.

Senator Dalton was born at Newbury Mass 28 May1738. He graduated from Harvard Law in 1755, he was admitted to the bar but never practiced law. Instead he went into the mercantile business. He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1782 to 1788, and speaker in 1784-85. He was elected to the Senate 1789 to 1791.


It was at this time when the original Bill of Rights was being formed when he introduced his Title of Nobility legislation. Dalton died at Boston Mass May 30, 1817. On January 21, 1793 as a roaring crowd of Parisians looked on, the head of Louis Capet formerly His Majesty Louis XVI toppled into the Basket as the blade of the guillotine severed it from his body. This created, at least for a short time, a second Republic. The hopes of a number of nations, inspired by our revolutionary triumph over Britain were testing the old Monarchical controls in Europe and elsewhere.


The eyes of the peoples of the world were seeing the hopes of disengaging themselves from Monarchies and their titles of nobility. Our new Constitution prohibited “titles of nobility,” see Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of 1787.


The year was 1810; the month was January when the original 13th Amendment, entitled “Titles of Nobility,” was again proposed. (See History of Congress proceedings of the Senate, p. 529-530). On April 27, 1810, the Senate voted to pass this Amendment by a vote of 26 to 1; The House resolved in the affirmative 87 to 3; and the following was sent to the States for Ratification: “If any Citizen of the United States shall Accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a Citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.” This amendment was to be ratified by 17 states, 13 of which would be required to adopt.


If you compare the wording of the Amendment with Article I, Sections 9, and 10 you will quickly see there are similarities; however, there was no penalty attached in the Constitutional version.


The Amendment, on the other hand, provided that one would lose their citizenship, and would be disqualified from activity within any government office. This would mean that all lawyers, judges, or any person associated with the International Bar Association (which is chartered by the King of England, head quartered in London) along with those associated with the Banking system. Why Bankers? Because they formed alliances with the IBA in order to legitimize

their crimes of fraud, conversion of the lawful money of the United States, and for bribery.


“Contained in the National archives is the following list of states that ratified the 13th Amendment along with the dates: Maryland, Dec. 25, 1810, Kentucky, Jan 31, 1811, Ohio, Jan, 31, 1811, Delaware, Feb, 2, 1811, Pennsylvania, Feb, 6, 1811, New Jersey, Feb. 2, 1811,

Vermont, Oct. 24, 1811, Tennessee, Nov. 21 1811, Georgia, Dec. 13, 1811, North Carolina, Dec. 23, 1811, Massachusetts, Feb. 27, 1812, New Hampshire, Dec. 10, 1812. It was consummated by Virginia’s ratification on Mar. 12, 1819. Word of Virginias 1819 ratification spread throughout the States along with Rhode Island and Kentucky publishing the new Amendment in 1822. Additionally evidence was found that Ohio first published the Constitution containing the Amendment in 1824. Maine ordered 10,000 copies of the constitution with the 13th Amendment to be printed for use in the schools, in 1825.”


One might be inclined to conclude this would be the end of the matter, however, in 1829, the following quote appears on p.23, Vol. 1 of the New York Revised Statutes: “In the edition of the Laws of the U.S. Before referred to, there is an amendment printed as Article 13, prohibiting citizens from accepting titles of nobility or honor, or presents, offices, &c. From foreign nations. But, by a message of the president of the United States of the 4th of February 1818, in answer to a resolution of the House of Representatives, it appears that this amendment had been ratified only by 12 states, and therefore had not been adopted. See Vol. IV of the printed papers of the 1st session of the 15th congress, No. 76.” In 1854, a similar note appeared in the Oregon Statutes; both notes refer to the Laws of the United States, 1st vol. P. 73 (or 74).


Historical records show that on Feb 6, 1818 President Monroe reported in a letter to the House that the Secretary of State John Adams had written a letter to the Governors of Virginia, South Carolina, and Connecticut telling them that the 13th Amendment had been ratified by 12 States and rejected by New York, and Rhode Island. He asked the governors to notify him of their legislature’s position. (See House Document No. 76).


On February 28, 1818 Secretary of State John Adams reported in House Document No. 129 that South Carolina rejected the Amendment. No other responses were forthcoming. Virginia did not confirm nor did they deny. The Virginia House Journal showed an official letter and other documents from Washington dated March 10, 1819 that the Virginia legislature passed Act No. 280 p 299 the following Action: “Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that there shall be published an edition of the Laws of this Commonwealth in which shall be contained the following matters, that is to say: “The Constitution of the United States and the Amendments thereto…” This act was to be included in the re-publication of the Virginia Civil Code of March 12, 1819 where-in the 13th Amendment would be included.’


The Amendment, on the other hand, provided that one would lose their citizenship, and would be disqualified from activity within any government office. This would mean that all lawyers, judges, or any person associated with the International Bar Association (which is chartered by the King of England, head quartered in London) along with those associated with the Banking system. Why Bankers? Because they formed alliances with the IBA in order to legitimize their crimes of fraud, conversion of the lawful money of the United States, and for bribery.


With an understanding that those same forces who were allied against ratification of the 13th Amendment were afoot, the delegates in the Virginia legislature took extraordinary measures to be sure that it was published in sufficient quantities (4,000 copies) and they also instructed the printer to send a copy to President James Monroe, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson.’


‘The printer was a Mr. Thomas Ritchie. He was bonded and required to be accurate in his work. The printing of this act of the legislature is prima facie evidence of ratification. No other requirement for ratification is contained in the Constitution at this time in the history of our Republic. President Monroe s’ letter and response above have been used as evidence that the 13th Amendment was never adopted; however, abundant evidence disclaims this assertion. The real truth was destroyed doubtless as a consequence of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, during the War of 1812 and, other evidences later, during the Civil War in 1860”. (a)

Gov. Martin O’Malley says healthcare reform will save MD $1 billion


Gov. Martin O’Malley says healthcare reform will save MD $1 billion
Al Ritter

Governor O’Malley claims the healthcare reform will save Maryland $1 billion over a 10 year period because the federal government will shoulder some of the costs that Maryland has paid in the past. O’Malley has made his claim of cost savings before he has even appointed a panel to study and make suggestions on implementation of the new healthcare mandates.

The Sunday partisan healthcare reform will be forced through by any means necessary, but even states with Democratic Governors have claimed state sovereignty over the federal mandates on the grounds that healthcare is NOT mentioned in the Constitution thereby granting the right for states to make individual decisions on the program’s acceptance or denial.

Governor O’Malley’s claims fly in the face of 35+ states poised to force lawsuits against the Federal Government’s partisan legislation on healthcare. Many states including Virginia under Governor Bob McDonnell have claimed that the new mandate threatens the fiscal future of their states. Virginia expects to lose $1 billion over 12 years according to McDonnell.

Governor O’Malley hasn’t been able to balance his budget without robbing from other areas of the budget of what he considers to be excess funds, and now makes this baseless claim. Every state has mandates of their own for health care, and Maryland is one of the highest with 66. Virginia on the other hand only has 60 (still high), and yet O’Malley makes claims of saving money while Virginia will see a net loss. Someone is not being truthful, and with 35+ states claiming the same future losses as Virginia, I would tend to side with McDonnell and not with O’Malley.

O’Malley has a past history of poor money management, both as a Mayor and now as the Governor, his past is hardly a glowing endorsement of the future of the State of Maryland, or his personal judgment.

Riding Out The Storm


Riding Out The Storm
Kevin Bryant

I sit here knowing that the House of Representatives will vote in 48 hours to either pass or kill the healthcare bill. My gut tells me they are going to pass it by way of reconciliation and send it back to the Senate.

What I do not understand is why someone elected to office would - a.) Willingly go against the will of the people, - b.) Purposely vote for something that is most likely going to be deemed as against the constitution & - c.) Commit political suicide.

37 states have either passed legislation or in the process of passing legislation that would nullify this bill in their states in accordance with article 10 of the constitution in the event that the healthcare bill in its current form, manages to get past both houses. Several state Attorney Generals are researching and drafting their defense in the event that this bill passes and they have top take their case to the Supreme Court. You know - that same court Obama criticized in his state of the union address.

Almost every member of congress as well as the president has stated that people no longer trust their government. This is a prime example of why we do not trust government. They no longer serve our best interest. They put their own political careers ahead of what is good for the country. Here with healthcare and coming soon, cap & trade, they are putting the president’s agenda ahead of their own political futures as well as what is good for the country. Are they clinging to the hope that the American people will forgive and forget their deeds between now and the mid-term elections? Does the president think he is going to be able to save them by passing his agenda or perhaps he is convinced that he can still govern in spite of the fact that it is highly likely he will lose one or both houses during the mid-terms?

What are those on congress thinking? Do they honestly believe this Obama is going to be re-elected? Last poll showed that he has slipped from an approval rating in the 60’s during the beginning months of his presidency to a rating on the mid 40’s in less than a year and a half. Pelosi has the lowest approval rating of any Speaker of the House in the history of polls taken. Congress in general is only a couple of points away from the lowest ratings ever. They aren’t listening to the people yet they continue to tell us to trust them. Why should we?

There is no rational coming out of congress. Moderate democrats are not willing to take a hard stand in force against even what they see as a very progressive liberal agenda. During congress’s one joint meeting over healthcare, the republicans should have stuck to one principal: Kill this bill and start again from scratch. Those should have been the only words coming out of their mouths, but they didn’t do that. Perhaps they will learn this lesson before the senate takes up cap & trade which Obama wants to happen before the mid-terms.

Despite what the vote is this weekend, this congress and this administration has managed to split this country more than it has been in the past 140 years. The only difference between the divisions now and those of the Civil War era is the fact that this to date has been a peaceful division. This country is more divided now than during the Civil Rights era and the Vietnam War era.

If the vote this weekend fails, this country is still going to be divided until the day Obama is forced out of the White House. If the vote this weekend continues this healthcare fiasco on a path to becoming a law, the rifts between conservatives and liberal as well as the rift between the people and government will continue to grow with no end in site before 2012.

It is my opinion that the only way to heal a majority of this country is if democrats lose the house and senate, republicans bring ethics charges up on both Harry Reid (provided he wins re-election) and Nancy Pelosi over strong arm tactics, congressional bribery and failure to uphold the oath of office. Also bring impeachment proceedings against President Obama on failure to uphold the oath of office, bribing members of congress and acting outside the limitations of the constitution.

Pete and Repeat


Pete and Repeat
Kevin Bryant

Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence, Pete fell off, who is left? __________, Pete and Repeat were sitting on a fence, Pete fell of, who is left? ___________

Doesn’t this sound like Washington? For months we have heard nothing but the same thing over and over. It’s like repeating the most boring dream you have ever had over and over, night after night, until you are so afraid to go to sleep because you know what is coming.

Healthcare, Climate Change, Social Justice, Spread the Wealth, I inherited this, the previous administration, yadi ya ya. Geez, you would thing that in 14 months, someone in the White House or some liberal in congress could come up with something new every once in a while. In the past 14 months, I would like to think that I have managed to not repeat myself more than once a month. In Washington, they can’t go 24 hours without repeating something they originally said a year ago.

There should be a law that any bill introduced in congress has a lifespan of 30 calendar days per chamber. If it is not voted on within 30 days by the body that it was introduced in, the bill automatically gets filed in the circular file or recycled into cardboard.

Healthcare has been debated for over a year now. For 12 excruciatingly long months we have had to listen to this reason or that for needing healthcare reform. We have endured countless stories of families in crisis because of rising health care cost, most of which those stories turned out to be false.

Here is something congress won’t tell you about the cost of healthcare. Americans want some form of healthcare reform but not the reform that this administration and this congress are trying to shove down our throats. Because they refuse to listen to the people of this country, the debate on healthcare has cost the tax payers approximately 75.6 MILLION dollars and that is just in annual base salary for the clowns in the house. This doesn’t include the pay for each member of the senate or the cost of traveling around and trying to pedal this snake poison to the American people.

That’s right, we, the tax payers, have shelled out over 75 million dollars just for the privilege of listening to Nancy Pelosi spew her twisted points of view for 12 LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG months.

Since the house has managed to waste more than $174,000 on average per member for literally accomplishing nothing over more than a year now, I think they should have to repay all their 2009 salaries.

Note to Nancy: Shut Up and put it to a vote already.

Happy 2nd Anniversary


Happy 2nd Anniversary
Kevin Bryant

I don’t know what is more shocking, the fact that I have been writing stuff for 2 years now or the fact that you have not hung poor Al in effigy for posting the things I write. As I said in the beginning, I am not a writer. Before now, the only thing I have ever written was letters and that was before the age of email.

What started out as Al asking me to write a couple of pieces has tuned into more than 100 to date. I don’t know the exact amount because I didn’t start keeping the things I wrote until the end of July last year.

What truly amazes me is Al has posted all but one piece that I have written. Looking back, I’m glad he didn’t post it. It was the only thing I have written while I was still mad at the situation. I opened it up a couple of weeks ago and could not believe I actually wrote that. Thank you Al for not posting that. If you don’t remember what it was, too bad because I’ll not drag it out of the archives.

More importantly, I would like to thank of you for putting up with me and my lack of proofreading abilities. I have had fun these past two years and hope you have enjoyed them as well.

Thank you,

Kevin

In Support Of Dan Rather


In Support Of Dan Rather
Kevin Bryant

I don’t like Dan Rather’s political views. If I were ever to meet the man, I would shake his hand out of politeness only. I would not be rude to the man but he would know if we were ever to discuss politics that we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Dan Rather made a statement about Obama couldn’t sell watermelons on the side of the road if he were given a state trooper to flag down traffic for him. Dan Rather is from Texas, I am from Arkansas. This has been a saying in the south long before political correctness ever took hold in America. This statement has been said 200 times more often about white people than blacks for almost 100 years now. Whites have said it about whites. Whites have said it about blacks. Blacks have said it about both whites and blacks. Calling this a racist statement just shows how ignorant people are to the laid back ways of rural southern United States.

I’m sure that if Dan Rather wanted to make a derogatory remark about Obama based solely on race, he has many to choose from. Just like if Obama wanted to respond with a derogatory statement about Dan Rather based solely on race, I’m sure he has plenty to choose from. Like I said, I don’t like Dan Rather’s political views. I don’t know him personally but from what I do know of him, he used to be a well respected news journalist.

The PC madness in America has to stop. If we jailed everyone who, thanks to political correctness, has offended someone, more than 95% of all Americans would have a criminal record including everyone who has ever served in the House, the Senate and served as President including our current President.

Why is it that everything related to the south found to be offensive? We raise cotton, we raise soybean, we raise catfish and we raise chickens and yes, we raise watermelons. These are a part of life in the south. If you don’t like them then quit wearing clothes made from cotton. Quit using products that are made from soybeans. Quit eating catfish and chicken and especially watermelons if they offend you. Texas is the top watermelon producing state in the U.S. It makes sense that a statement involving watermelons would be common place there and it be used by everyone regardless of race for almost a century now.

I had a black drill sergeant once from New York who knew I was from Arkansas tell me to get my pig smelling, southern fried, watermelon eating (backside) out of his face. Should I have written him up for making a racist remark towards me?

If Dan Rather’s remarks were racist, then I surely must be a racist because I like the taste of KFC chicken over Pop-Eye’s.

Helping Non-Progressive Democrats Save Their Jobs


Helping Non-Progressive Democrats Save Their Jobs
Kevin Bryant

Now that you have finally taken your eyes off the title, I bet you are still asking yourself: “Why would he want to save their jobs”? This is easy. If they follow my very simple and painless advice, We the People win.

For those democrats in congress who have not sold their souls to the progressive dark side yet, this is for you.

The town hall meetings some of you attended last summer wasn’t a fun thing for you, was it? Many of you met resistance like you have never felt before. America has not forgotten that you are selling us down the river for an idea that just doesn’t work when it comes to health care or cap and trade or just spending in general.

Now you are faced with losing your seat in congress. You can not vote in favor of Obamacare and retain your seat. You don’t want to face the prospect of having Nancy and Harry beating you up for voting against it so here is an idea that might serve your purpose. Don’t Vote. Legislation brought up for a vote has a time limit for voting. Just be absent. Don’t show up on those days. Kids skip school, workers call in sick when they aren’t, who says you can’t miss a day. And in the end, healthcare is defeated once and for all, you get to retain your seat in congress and can continue to paint the republican side as the Party of No.

Here are a few examples to help you. All of these have been used by workers and students. Some with success and some not, but think of them as blueprints for helping you make up your own excuse:

My husband thinks it's funny to hide my car keys before he goes to work.

My heat was shut off, so I had to stay home to keep my snake warm.

A gurney fell out of an ambulance and delayed traffic.

I walked into a spider web on the way out the door and couldn't find the spider, so I had to go inside and shower again.

My father didn't wake me up.

I got locked in my trunk by my son.

My left turn signal was out, so I had to make all right turns to get to work.

I was attacked by a raccoon and had to stop by the hospital to make sure it wasn't rabid.

A groundhog bit my bike tire and made it flat.

I feel like I'm in everyone's way if I show up on time.

My driveway washed away in the rain last night.

I had to go to bingo.

I didn't want to lose the parking space in front of my house.

I hit a turkey while riding a bike.

I had a heart attack early that morning, but I am "all better now."

I donated too much blood.

My dog was stressed out after a family reunion.

I was kicked by a deer.

I contracted mono after kissing a mailroom intern at the company holiday party, and I suggest the company post some sort of notice to warn others who may have kissed him.

I swallowed too much mouthwash.

My wife burned all my clothes and I have nothing to wear to work.

My toe was injured when a soda can fell out of the refrigerator.

I was up all night because the police were investigating the death of someone discovered behind my house.

My psychic told me to stay home.

My dog dialed 911, and the police wanted to question me about what "really" happened.

A raccoon stole my work shoe off my porch.

I tasted some dog food because the dog was not feeling well and now I'm sick.

My chickens' feet were frozen to the driveway.

While at a circus, a tiger urinated on my ear, causing an ear infection.

My son tried to flush our ferret down the toilet and I needed to tend to the ferret.

I ran over a goat.

I was walking my dog, slipped on a toad in my driveway and hurt my back.

I was sprayed by a skunk.

I was spit on by a venomous snake.

I totaled my wife's jeep in a collision with a cow.

In order to pull this off, this requires a talent that each and every one of you have demonstrated a great gift for having over most of your political careers, an ability to lie with a straight face and the ability to think up creative ways to lie. It shouldn’t be too hard. And the best part is, your constituents would not only forgive you for missing work that day, they would actually be grateful that you took a day off.

Squandered Inheritance


Squandered Inheritance
Kevin Bryant

There is a joke in my family about how my parents are going to squander my brother’s $2 inheritance. To see him shed fake tears over the thought of not seeing his $2 is almost too much to bear. I feel his pain.

Lately we have seen several progressive commercials where those on the left are using kids from as old as college students in the early 20’s to as young as 10 years old telling us that we are the cause of all the problems in the United States. They are spreading the idea that only a more powerful and intrusive government is the answer to all the problems. In their minds, it’s only right that since we did not provide them a cost free college education, it is now time for the government to do so. Since we have failed to clean up the environment, government must do it before we destroy ourselves.

We are the ones who stand in their way of progress for a one world utopian government. We are greedy in the fact that we want to keep most of what we work hard for to ourselves. We are squandering their inheritance.

We are seeing the results in our children of years of progressive educational indoctrination by our schools. The schools today preach inclusiveness but promote segregation. They teach math and science but history is distorted. When my kids lived in Texas, they were taught in Texas history that the battle of the Alamo was fought because Mexico did not want to give up their territory. They were not taught that Santa Ana beheaded and mutilated the bodies of the soldiers defending the Alamo and displayed their butchered bodies for all to see.

Constitutional Law is no longer taught. It is now case study law and the reasoning behind the rulings. They do not teach that rival African tribes sold captive Africans to the slave traders. They do not teach that many slaves after the war remained with their former owners because they were better off staying because of the treatment they had received from their formers owners before and immediately after the war instead of venturing off on their own.

Our kids have been taught that there was no such thing as the Evil Empire. They are taught that the Soviet Union was just another country and the cold war was only a battle of differences of ideas between the USSR and the USA. They are not taught about the holocaust or 60 million dying at the hands of Mao. They are taught that it is the job of government to take care of us and to provide for us.

Our children are growing up with the concept that the old Soviet Constitution is the true meaning of our own constitution and we are not leaving this form of government for them. They believe that we are leaving them a planet that is polluted and pillaged beyond anything known to man. They do not know that my parent’s generation inherited a country that most every river was having sewage and manufacturing plant waste water dumped into them. They don’t remember mounds of garbage sitting on top of the ground in landfills. They are not taught that there are more trees on the planet now than there was in the 1930’s or that we are putting fewer pollutants into the air today than we were just 40 years ago. They are being taught that America is the Promised Land for the perfect society and would be if only we dumb adults would get out of the way of socialist progress.

We are squandering their inheritance by trying to hang on to individual freedom. We are impeding progress because we believe the rights of the individual are more sacred than the sacrificing what we have for social equality. Our kids are being taught that we are too old to understand. The sad thing is it is my generation and yours that are teaching this to our kids.

Progressives are telling them that because they are more technically advanced than we are, they are smarter than us. Never mind the old but true statement that with age comes experience. They have been taught to put their trust in government. Experience has taught us not to trust our government. Kids are taught to believe in the words of Obama and Gore. Experience has taught us to trust in the ideas of Madison and Jefferson. Our kids are taught that government should regulate industry and the free market. Experience has taught us that if government leaves industry and the free market alone, it will correct itself better and faster.

Our kids are taught that it is better to trust the theories of academia than the experience of free enterprise. Our kids are taught not to trust the ones they should trust the most, their own parents.

Heil Ritter


Heil Ritter
Kevin Bryant

This morning after waking up, I faced the dreaded choice. Monday’s and Thursday’s, all good Conservative Nazis must wear their Brown Shirt Uniforms and on Tuesday’s and Friday’s we all must don the Black SS Uniform. I don’t like this idea of Wednesday’s being choice day stuff. I sure wish Al “Der Fuhrer” Ritter would make up his mind so that I would not have to think for myself. Seriously, how am I supposed to cope in life if the government allows me to make a choice on my own? So much pressure.

Sorry Al, I was just having a little fun at your expense. To everyone else, if you were offended by the title or the opening paragraph, well, you should be. Conservatives have been called Nazis, Fascist, NeoCons and a host of other things for more than a decade now by people on the left. Either those using these terms are too dumb to know what those terms mean or they do know what they mean and think these words are going to scare people into believing that they should be very afraid of us.

Fascists believe in government control of private property and business. I don’t remember any conservative or any republican for that matter calling for the government to seize control of General Motors or Chrysler. I remember certain republicans calling for bank bailouts but I don’t remember any conservatives calling out for bailouts. I can’t recall conservative judges ruling in favor of government or big business in eminent domain cases or letting murders and child rapist walk free or just giving then probation.

Hitler and his fascist extremist took control of government from within, using blackmail and brute force. They were elected to office by promoting themselves as saviors of the people against an evil government. They promised prosperity and good fortunes for the country and the people of Germany. They vilified those that dare speak out against them and painted those that opposed their agenda as the spawn of decades of government corruption. Once they had finally placed Hitler into the position of Chancellor, he in turn appointed individuals to key positions who supported him and his agenda.

The Nazi Party then strong armed their way around the laws of Germany, forced many to resign their offices, and again appointing party members to those positions. Not finished with their takeover of government quite yet, they made up new positions high up in the government and again appointing those loyal to the party and to Hitler. Technically, most of the fascist takeover of Germany was done legally. Once they had gained enough power, they went after Jews and Jewish sympathizers and confiscated their property, their businesses and eventually took the lives of over 6 million Jews.

Does any of this sound familiar to current day events here in the United States? Granted, the government has yet to kill its own citizens, but again, go back and use the Government takeover of GM and Chrysler as one example. The so called Car Czar, through his wife, had access to the names of all major donors to the RNC and the McCain campaign. When the Car Czar decided to close over 1200 dealerships, not all but a very uneven proportion of those dealerships that were closed down had made political donations to the RNC and/or the McCain campaign. Many of those dealers owned only one dealership and the government took away their source of income.

Our founding fathers were afraid of a centralized government. History had shown them what could happen if power was concentrated in one place and how corrupt it could become. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao and Castro, all modern day examples of how a government can be taken over at the expense of the people they represent.

Conservatives believe in smaller government, states rights, limited federal powers, individual freedoms, property rights, capitalism and the free market system, yet the left wants to paint us as being the second coming of Hitler himself. These are the same people who believe that it is possible to bring about a socialist utopia where everyone is equal and one all powerful government can and will bring forth happiness and prosperity for all.

Their idea of a socialist utopia didn’t work out so well for the people of Italy or 6 million dead Jews or 60 million dead Chinese. What makes people think the atrocities of Germany, China, Russia and other places can’t happen here? The foundation has already been laid for it to happen. It started with President Wilson and has been added on by every President to follow except Kennedy who kept the status quo and did not expand on it and Reagan who actually retracted it by about 10 years.

Only in America could someone attempt to link the likes of Washington, Madison & Jefferson with the likes of Mao, Mussolini & Stalin. Now ask yourself, which of the following groups are more like Hitler and the Nazi Party: 1.) Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Jim DeMint & John Thune or 2.) Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Krugman, Harry Reid & Barack Obama. Tough choice isn’t it.

Getting To Know Myself


Getting To Know Myself
Kevin Bryant

Here I sit; a 45 year old man and I can honestly say that it has only been in the past 10 years that I truly started to become aware of just who I am and what my principals are. For me it was always easier to just go with the flow, settle in and stay kind of hidden in the shadows and only be seen when necessary. I never really wanted to deal with the real world. I was fine living my life in my own little corner of the world and allowing the rest of the world to just pass by and I would adapt to whatever curves life threw at me.

A lot of that I think came from school. Starting at first grade and extending beyond high school. I never had to try at school and believe me when I say I didn’t try. I don’t think I did 25% of the homework assignments in high school and only finished the ones that I did do if I finished them before the school day was up. I got by on reading most assignments and listening in class. I didn’t make honor roll but I still finished high school with over a 3.2 GPA. Funny thing about high school, in most of my classes, the honor students were cheating off me.

It was the same in the military. Every class I took I just paid attention in class and passed. Every advancement exam I took I just skimmed over other people’s notes and passed. I took 14 CLEP & DANTE tests and never once did I study for any of them. The only reason I took them was to see how much of the subject matter I knew and passed 13 of them. Ironically, the one that I failed was American Government. I don’t feel too bad about failing that one; my brother who I freely admit is a lot smarter than me when it comes to “formal type education” failed it as well.

So what woke me up and made me take a look around me and see the world for a change? For me it was a combination of several factors. The more money I made didn’t seem to make a difference because I was always broke. My kids were coming home from school and saying that they learned things that were opposite from the things I was taught. When the ship I was on was in port, I had to drive 90 miles one way to go to work so my kids didn’t have to change schools and I was introduced to talk radio. Bill Clinton was in his last year in office and it was still being decided if it was McCain or Bush who would challenge Al Gore in the upcoming election. Suddenly I had no answers to who I was going to vote for, where my money was going beyond the normal bills and why is a school system being allowed to teach opinion and not fact. I wanted answers and not just answers to those questions but answers to everything that was becoming clear and not seeming to be quite right in the world. It took a little time for me to understand that in order for me to finds the answers I wanted I first had to find myself. What did I stand for? What are my principals? What am I teaching my kids by not knowing who I am?

I have learned a lot about myself over these past 10 or so years. I found out I am not the person I thought I was for the first 30+ years of my life. I found my principals in life and discovered that they did not fit in with the naval environment I was in. I found it’s actually kind of easy to make a decision when you put your principals first and let them guide you. I think I drove my kids crazy when I would ask them questions that would make them think and then have them explain to me how they come up with their answers to those questions. I found out that my wife shares a lot of the same principals that I do but we got there in totally different ways. My wife and my kids don’t always agree with me and that’s cool and that’s the way life is supposed to be. I have one daughter who is a full blown progressive socialist; I have another daughter who is mostly an independent type republican with progressive tendencies, almost a female type clone of John McCain & Lindsey Graham. My wife is primarily a fiscal republican. I have a son who has independent moderate libertarian tendencies and as for me, I am more the traditional constitutionalist libertarian type but one who does not believe in the legalization of any drugs. My wife came into her line of thinking without my help. As for my kids, they have their mom to thank for some of how they view the world and of course me for a smaller part of that. I think by me asking them to explain their own reasoning to certain questions, I have done them a great service. Looking back, I wish my parents would have asked me more often growing up for my opinions and then had me state the reasoning behind how I formulated them.

Our country faces many problems. One of the most serious ones in my opinion is we have forgotten who we are as a nation, and as a nation, what we stand for. I think many of those in congress don’t know who they are and what their principals are anymore. I think they have sacrificed them for so long that actually abandoning them to get re-elected has become a way of life for them. Again, it’s my belief that they have forgotten the principals which this country was founded on and that has lead us from being the greatest nation of earth to near total economic collapse as well as loss of freedom and liberty. If we do not learn who we are as individuals, how are we to stand as a country? The truth is we can’t. At least not as the nation we are now. Europe gave away their individual rights in the name of government protection. Our founding fathers formed this nation and gave us a constitution that protected us from government. Some of those in government know who they are and what they stand for. I whole heartedly believe that Pelosi, Reid and Obama know exactly who they are and have bet the farm that they can bring about their ideas of centralized government because the rest of us are the ones who are clueless about ourselves.

America is starting to wake up and the people are just starting to once again find themselves and their principals. If those of us who already know who we are and what we stand for can continue to keep the wolves at bay until the rest of America becomes aware of themselves, then this nation will continue to stand tall and be a beacon for freedom and individualism. If we fail now, so does our way of life.

Stand tall and be proud of the country our founding fathers created. Let it be known that rights are given by a power much higher than government and government can not take them away.

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? – Thomas Jefferson

Why won’t the Democrats replace Charles Rangel?


Why won’t the Democrats replace Charles Rangel?
Al Ritter

Why does the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee remain in his post when there is overwhelming evidence that he hid nearly half his personal assets from taxation? Charles Rangel stands accused of trying to hide his ownership of a condo in the Dominican Republic and some $75,000 in rentals from said unit, and then 4 questionable rent controlled apartments in New York.

The answer might just be in the next person in seniority that would assume his position if Rangel were to step down, or removed. This man’s name is Rep Pete Stark (D-CA), and even some of his Democratic peers refer to him as “Crazy Pete.” Here are but just a few of his antics.

In a session of Congress:
You don’t have money to fund the war or children. But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.
The truth is that Bush just likes to blow things up. In Iraq, in the United States and in Congress.

In a House Ways and Means committee meeting:
According to an official committee transcript, Stark physically taunted fellow Ways and Means Committee member Scott McInnis (R-Colorado) while [Chariman Bill] Thomas attempted to hold a voice vote on the bill at hand.

In response to McInnis’ demand that Stark be quiet while the bill was being read, Stark blurted out: “[O]h, you think you are big enough to make me, you little wimp? Come on. Come over here and make me. I dare you.”Further goading McInnis, a married Republican gentleman, Stark lashed out: “You little fruitcake. You little fruitcake. I said you are a fruitcake.”

Witnesses say Stark then hurled a 10-letter homophobic insult (starts with c and ends with r) at McInnis.

Stark himself may be caught up in a bit of a real estate problem of his own in Maryland, as he claims a $1.7 million dollar home as his primary residence and thereby has collected a homestead tax credit amounting to $3900, much in the same way Rangel has done with his home in Washington and apartments in NY.
Maryland law allows the tax break only to those residences used "for the legal purposes of voting, obtaining a driver's license, and filing income tax returns."
This is a real item of contention as the 77 year old Congressman represents the 13th district of California, Bay area. He claims that he is following the law in as “much as he knows.”
This man is nothing more than an out of control cannon with a position of power in a very powerful committee, and he’s next in line!

Gun control is unconstitutional!


Gun control is unconstitutional!
Al Ritter

Amendment 2


“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”


The liberal left claims that healthcare is a right, and yet there is nothing mentioned in the Constitution about it being a right, and yet what IS clearly declared a right by LAW is denied to the citizens.

The first two videos have to do with countries who allowed the government to take their guns, the last one is South Africa where the move is on to do the same.







The last stand will be our country, and the way the government is moving, they will deny us of OUR right to bear arms if we don’t stop them.

Remember this: The American Revolution would never been possible with the proposed gun control. Armed Americans are citizens. Unarmed citizens are subjects!

We the People!

I Voted for ______ Because


I Voted for ______ Because
Kevin Bryant

Why do you vote? Might it be that someone once told you that it is your patriotic duty? Is it that you believe that only those that do vote have the right to complain? Does it make you feel empowered somehow?

Those of you who do not vote, why do you not vote? Do you feel that no one is listening? Do you think your one little vote won’t matter? Do you feel that there aren’t any politicians worth voting for? Are you just too lazy to take the time out of your day’s schedule to do it?

Those who do vote, why did you vote the way you did? Was it the politician’s charisma? Was it their policies? Did you like dislike the other choices more?

I probably have read more than 60 articles and unscientific polls in the past couple of days and here are the top 10 reasons given in reverse order of why people voted for Obama in the last election:

10.) Thought it would be funny.
9.) I don’t want to be seen / labeled as a racist.
8.) Obama’s policies.
7.) Will never vote for a republican.
6.) McCain is a war monger
5.) Barack Obama is going to change the world.
4.) Because he is black.
3.) Sarah Palin is too dumb to vote for.
2.) Obama’s charisma.

And the number one reason was……… Don’t like George Bush

Here are the top 5 reasons why people voted for John McCain in the last election

10.) Cindy McCain would make a better First Lady
9.) The economy / jobs
8.) Will never vote for a democrat
7.) More experience / qualified
6.) Would make a better Commander – in – Chief.
5.) Joe the plumber
4.) Lesser of two evils
3.) National security
2.) Sarah Palin
1.) Service To His Country / War hero

As I look at both of the list of reason why people voted the way they did, it frightens the hell out of me knowing that there are people out there that would vote the way dthey did for the reasons they gave. Some of these reasons are stupid reasons but I understand them, such as never vote for a republican or democrat or Cindy McCain a better First Lady. What scares me is the “thought it would be funny”, “Joe the plumber”, “Barack is going to change the world” type votes. When did these become reasons to vote for or against someone? Look at how many of these responses have nothing to do with policy or even ability to do the job.

Bill Maher and Janeane Garofalo claim that conservatives are the stupid ones who are ruining this country. Based on the reasons for voting, I would say both sides have stupid people in them but there seems to be more stupid people who voted for Obama and they did it for more stupid reasons.
