Politically Correct

Politically Correct
William G Burmer

I like many of you have been frustrated by what we have been forced to observe as might be described as an attitude of “I do not give a damn about what you think” from our Judiciary, the Executive, the Congress, and Senate. This same attitude in a general way is seen to percolate all the way down to all branches of city governments. We might add illegal aliens to this group as many thumb their noses at our laws as well.

We are each hoping upon hope that the elections this coming November will set a foundation which will rescue some of our liberties and give rise to even greater power to We the People as we press forward. It should be obvious to all of you by now that November is a beginning point and not an end.

We should not think that the liberal opposition will just roll over for us. I expect their vitriol to be even more caustic than present. There is an interesting corollary I see emanating from the leftist of today compared to the Israelites who were rescued from the tyranny of Egypt by Moses centuries ago.

For those of you who are acquainted with scripture you will remember that eventually Israel degenerated into such a cesspool of debauchery that God cursed them and caused that they were scattered among many nations.

In the book of Deuteronomy 31:16-17, the lord revealed to the Prophet Moses what would happen to Israel after (Moses) was gone. “Behold though shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them.”

If the Israelites had set up the most powerful nation on earth the way God had commanded them, it would have stabilized the political and economic affairs of all other nations.

Our founders were students of history and it was through a careful reading of the Bible that they discovered a whole new perspective concerning God’s plans for America. They found that what God had promised ancient Israel He had also promised to restore in “the latter days.”

In order to appreciate what God had promised the Israelites’ we have to understand that God gave ancient Israel the formula for an ideal society that could have made the Israelites the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth.

From W. Cleon Skousen in his book, “The Majesty of God’s Law” he writes the following; “Here is the way the Lord said it the first time: “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine.” Exodus 19:5

A little later on the Lord repeated it. He said:

“For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:6.

As the Lord was in the midst of teaching the people about the advance civilization they were expected to build, he once more reminded them with these words:

“Thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 14:2.

Briefly what our founder discovered was an opportunity to make the prophecy of Moses a visible reality for America as the Promises’ of the Prophet Micah declared: “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills’ and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go fourth out of Zion, and the word of the lord from Jerusalem.” Micah 4: 1-2.

America was and is regarded as the New Israel or the new Zion. Jonathan Edwards, one of America’s best know ministers of the Gospel, made this statement: “God presently goes about doing some great thing in order to make way for the introduction of the churches latter-day glory---which is to have its first seat in, and is to rise from [this] new world.” Quoted by Cherry in God’s New Israel, p57. Later on page 59 Edwards make the following statement: “I think---if we consider the circumstances of the settlement of New England---it must needs appear the most likely of all American colonies to be the place whence this work shall principally take it rise.”

Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1820 “If the freedom of religion—can—prevail, the genuine doctrines of Jesus—will again be restored to their original purity. This reformation will advance with the other improvements of the human mind, but too late for me to witness it.” Page 366 The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Allison

Now here is where after days of pondering our present state of affairs I feel lies our present predicament, in society and more especially, in government, including the Judiciary.

For as long as I can remember the Atheists’, the agnostics’, in particular, and of late, politically correct ideologist in concert with the Judiciary have done all they can to destroy religious freedom and principle as envisioned by our founders: Law makers along with the Judiciary have lied, twisted, skewed, corrupted and in every way possible tried to remove first amendment religious principle from every facet of Lawful Society, and in Politics.

Our leaders have become as corrupt as ancient Israel. In short like the Israelites they have turned from God and “forsaken Him.” Each in their own way have re-entered that cesspool of debauchery previously reserved for the ancient Israelites. Many in the Judiciary, along with Maxine Waters, Charlie Wrangle, President Obama, and a host of others, are scrambling to justify crimes against God and country. Fortunately Americans are awakening to their chicanery, and are actively perusing means for redress at the ballot box.

Lest we follow after these afore mentioned, and like a wild ass go off braying into the wilderness and drink the dregs and terrifying curses of God as Israel have endured, we must be vigilant in demanding that our elected leaders follow constitutional Law, or be removed from office. There are long lists of grievances we must bring to the fore and they must be resolved, constitutionally.

It is time for the American People to remember our Declaration made to Great Britain and apply those same principles of reason to those elected as our servants now, and in the future:

“We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.”

“They too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.”

“The history of the present (President of the United States, want a be King Obama) King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.”


“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.”

Let this be our Banner of liberty RESTORE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE for America and her People, or go live in another part of the hemisphere. To this cause we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Socialism in America Part III

Education in America or is it Indoctrination?



I was reading one of my children's textbooks trying to reference some material when I came across a section dealing with feelings and Patriotism. The text inferred that pride in our country or too much "nationalism" can be "harmful" emphasizing the fact that "countries make mistakes at times." 1.


I can only conclude the above quote is a "revisionist theme" for I have in all my years never read such tripe in any of the history books I have read previously. The text, in a generic way, told the student what they should believe rather than challenge their thinking processes. We the People, by the process of inquiring through study may find truth, determine fact, and then take appropriate action to secure the blessings of Liberty for ourselves. Nationalism need not be a threat to any one, except perhaps a corrupted politician. It is a granted that unless truth is administered from government to the people, a combination of distrust and fractional parties will develop, indeed have developed, and have retarded republicanism. Such is our present condition.


Presently, there are eight political parties for which we can register to vote. This is supposed to be a good thing? This is a political trap to further divide and destroy liberty. Alexander Hamilton warned: Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of a question.James Madison added: Yet the parties are, and must be, themselves the judges; and the most numerous party, or, in other words, the most powerful faction must be expected to prevail 2.


Think about it! Eight political parties will certainly fracture our ability as citizens to vote and control those we supposedly elect. The fracture is, in truth compounded, creating a pseudo election process controlled by the politicians.

The problems we are having in education go to the fact that in the last 40 years, the corollary of religion and true historical events along with the Constitution have not been taught, and have been replaced with half truths, such as: we are a “democracy.” The mere mention of God in our public schools is made a violation of church and state; when in truth there is no such phraseology in the Constitution. I challenge anyone to find where it says anything about separation of church and state in the Constitution or that we are a Democracy.


Article VI of the Constitution states: ". . . no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"Sadly, we have all missed the meaning placed at the end of this amendment "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" nowhere is it said that we cannot exercise our faith wherever we might be. These are the only references to religion in our Constitution.


Democracy is not mentioned in any part of the Constitution; Article 4 Section 4 however is very revealing, and should be of interest to all of America’s Citizens “The United States (meaning our government servants) shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government (meaning, our government servants shall protect Sovereign States Rights) and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (meaning the President) (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.Do you suppose our government servants have an obligation to protect our boarders against “domestic Violence from foreign illegal immigration? To refrain from using objectionable expletives, I'll just say, darn bet you!


There are some notable individuals in TV and Radio who have talked of the "dumbing down of education in America." I have personally questioned some educators concerning teaching of American history today and they tell me that in today's classroom American History begins at the year 1900. There is no longer any real foundation taught with regards to our true legacy as a Nation. With the kind of education our young people are receiving today, it is no wonder those virtues of loyalty, honor, and character are lacking in certain individuals. This also supports the notion that many of our elected personnel are regrettably ignorant of our history and Constitution; thus giving way to personal aggrandizement and selfish pursuits of power over principle.


Many if not most foreign students today are more aware of our constitution and history than those who are elected to office, including the American citizen. We need to take education from government control, and return it to its rightful place in our communities. Prior to the Dept. of Education's christening, our educational system was the finest in the world.


Christian principles of right and wrong needs be re-enthroned, along with a comprehensive study of our Constitution and our nation’s history. This could happen almost overnight if government were not involved. Personally I believe that those young people presently being "home-taught" will unfurl America's true colors. In the home "religious values" and principles of right and wrong are being taught. Resolute selfless individualists do not retard the family, God or community.


In my travels around the world I have observed that within any society where the pursuit of knowledge is reserved for the few, the wealthy, or well connected, communist ideologies flourish. This occurs where ever government controls education. Presently our students are being taught to be apologetic for being an American. They are neither challenged nor expected to think, question, lead or excel. The spirit is being snatched from them, and this a sad legacy of our present educational system. Schools are a place where young men and women might learn to be good for something. In today's society we should question everything government does, prove all things! Presently Law is so cryptic you are bound to find a contradiction somewhere.

Shot Down In Flames

Shot Down In Flames
Kevin Bryant

I read the other day where once again, the average citizen’s opinion means absolutely nothing to any branch of government, state or federal. If we aren’t getting shafted by the legislative branch we are getting called ignorant by the executive branch and when they aren’t hammering us, we have judicial branch dismissing voter referendums.

How many times do the people in California have to tell the state that they do not want legalized gay marriage? The California judicial branch once again says that they don’t care what the people think. They are determined to shoot down any attempt to pass Proposition 8. I guess that the California courts don’t want to be considered less liberal than that of Massachusetts, Iowa and the other states that didn’t care one bit what the populous think on the subject.

My thoughts, I am personally against gay marriage. Before you start thinking “That Kevin, he’s nothing but a hate spewing homophobe”, let me explain my position. I have nothing against the gay and lesbian life style. How you choose to live your life is of no concern of mine so long as it does not have a direct negative affect me or my family. Why am I against gay marriage? If you believe in God and the bible, then you must believe that the institution of marriage was created by God with the expressed purpose of joining a man and a woman in “Holy” matrimony. I happen to believe that there is a God and the bible is the word of God. You go to a wedding and what is almost always said: “we are gathered here in the presence or site of God”. God didn’t make Eve & Joe and then tell Adam to choose who he wanted to be with. Why then would I believe that God would bless a same sex marriage?

Here is the other part. As you all know, I am also a strong supporter of State’s Rights. I am also a supporter of “Civil Unions”, and that unions are granted all the rights and privileges equal to that of a marriage. As like a marriage, a license for the union must be obtained from the authorized state agency and be placed on file. The union must be administered by a person empowered by the state to administer such a union. If the unionized couple no longer wishes to be a couple, they must be granted a divorce by the state in accordance with same rules and regulations that apply to a married couple getting a divorce.

Marriage on one hand and Civil Union on the other, what really is the difference? In my humble little opinion, there is none other than the term “Marriage”. One ordained by God, and the other by the state. Everyone is different yet all men are created equal. Therefore can we dispense with the screaming matches over using the term “Marriage”? They would both be equal in the eyes of the law. Otherwise if the gay and lesbian community persist in their demand to use the term “Marriage”, then why don’t they cease having Gay Pride Days, Gay Parades, Gay Bars, Gay this and Gay that……..

Most would be willing to accept Civil Unions under the agreement that is was equal to a marriage and recognized in all states. Most would be willing to not give up their gay pride days and parades and stuff, but would welcome equal time for straight pride days and straight parades and such. Unfortunately, there is the radical element that will shout down the majority that is willing to compromise.

The radical element does not want equality. They demand favoritism, yet what have they done to deserve favorable treatment? Equality is all most Americans are going to give gay community but for those radical few, this is unacceptable.

California is beyond just being broke, yet millions in tax payer dollars have been spent on this matter. Why? So what if the judicial branch of the state of California legislates from the bench. If the couple decides to move to Nevada or some other state, Oooooo, your “marriage” is no longer valid. Until the federal government decides to make marriage and civil unions separate but equal in all aspects, this fight is just going to needlessly continue to waste more millions of tax dollars through

The Code is Wrong

The Code Is Wrong
Kevin Bryant

Kaffee: Did you assault Santiago with the intent of killing him?
Dawson: No, sir.
Kaffee: What was your intent?
Dawson: To train him, sir.
Kaffee: To train him to do what?
Dawson: To train him to think of the unit before himself. To respect the code.
Kaffee: What's the code?
Dawson: Unit. Corps. God. Country.
Lt. Weinberg: I beg your pardon?
Dawson: Unit. Corps. God. Country. Sir.
Kaffee: The government of the United States wants to charge you two with murder. And you want me to go to the prosecution with unit, corps, God, country?
Dawson: That's our code, sir.
Kaffee, Lt. Weinberg: It's a code

I love the movie “A Few Good Men” and every man and woman that wears a uniform and defends this great nation will forever hold a place in my heart. But something is wrong with the code in which they talk about. Take a minute and see if you know what it is.

What you see above is the same thing that has been happening in this country for going on 100 years now. Why isn’t God the first thing listed on the code instead of unit? If Dawson was Jesus and Kaffee was some Roman soldier, do you think Jesus would have listed his disciples before his heavenly father?

But that is the way things are today, more and more we look for things to replace God as the highest priority in our lives. Much too often today, people turn to government for answers instead of looking to God for them. Judges used to have both a book of law and the bible with them on the bench, but they no longer have the bible. People used to help their neighbors when there was a crisis as God intended but now all it seems we want to do is sue our neighbors if their kid’s baseball accidentally breaks a window.

Those that have never read the bible believe that government is the answer to all problems. Those that have read the bible believe that the government is the root of most problems.

This country was based of Christian principals but you can’t have any outward displays of God in the schools or government buildings. We have replaced Merry Christmas with Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings in stores and town squares. Nativity scenes have been replaced with a mechanical waving Santa and other brightly lit decorations.

In our courtrooms you would get less protest if you were to display Miss June from Playboy than you would the 10 commandments.

Government will continually put itself at the head of the list of people and places to turn to in times of trouble unless we remove them from the list and place ourselves there. Just lost your job? By all means apply for unemployment but then look to your neighbors for a hand up before you start looking at government for a hand out. I’m not catholic but if I had a moral issue or knew something that was weighing heavily on me, I would certainly talk to a priest about it before I would even consider a government social worker.

If we turn to government for assistance as anything but a last resort, then it is us who have the messed up priorities in life and we deserve whatever it is that government dishes out.

America, Now the Land of Pick and Choose Laws

America, Now the Land of Pick and Choose Laws
Al Ritter

We are a nation of laws, and yet this Administration sees fit to pick and choose which ones to enforce.

Whether it relates to campaign finance laws, voter intimidation, illegal immigration, or tax fraud by the very people who write those laws, the Obama Administration is using the “pick and choose” method to actively pursue the law.
For almost two years Barack Obama, has been blurring the line between the three branches of Government that our Forefathers saw as autonomous entities that should never be breached.

This cannot be claimed as ignorance of the law as there are 150 attorneys work from the Whitehouse, more than have ever been used in the past. The Administration knows the law, and more importantly knows the way around it.

The way Eric Holder looks at the law is to challenge the ones that the President and he wish to, and to ignore the ones they don’t agree with. It’s a win, win situation for them as they have a 50/50 chance for a favorable ruling based on the political leaning of the presiding judge. They challenge with no concern for the money being spent because it isn’t theirs……it’s OURS!

President Obama is clearly working against the laws of the nation. I give the two examples of the takeover of GM and Chrysler, circumventing the entire bankruptcy court system to forge a settlement that favored unions rather than the secured investors. The President has also pushed the line on legality of Executive Orders, as a way of circumventing the legislative branch on unpopular laws.

We as a country need to take back our Constitution that is now being held ransom by progressive liberals. We as a country need to retake our place as the most powerful nation on this earth. We as a country need to work with some moral compass, not just some feeling of social guilt. We as a country need to return to the REPUBLIC envisioned by our forefathers rather than a semi-socialistic European Nation. We as a county need to retake the government from the group who seeks to “fundamentally change it.”

Are High School Students Really Prepared?

Are High School Students Really Prepared?
Kevin Bryant

Two plus two is four, the earth revolves around the sun, four times five is twenty, osmosis is a chemical process, Paul Revere was not the only rider on the night of his famous ride to warn of the start of the British invading the colonies, Shakespeare wrote Romeo & Juliet, the first 10 amendments to the constitution are called the Bill of Rights, the first man to die in the Revolutionary War was black, “Ur BFF IDK?” is not an acceptable way to write “I don’t know who your best friend is” and no state east of the Mississippi River is bigger than the smallest state west of the Mississippi River (Hawaii excluded for those who like to get really technical). These are basic statements that any high school student should know long before they are ever handed a diploma, but sadly many do not.

I wrote to a half dozen or so current or former high school and college educators and asked them if schools were preparing our kids for life beyond high school in areas other than math and science. These current and former educators are from the west coast, the east coast and parts in between. I have great respect for each of them and consider them to be outstanding in their career field. The comment below best sums up the overall responses that I got.

One reason you see so much about math and science is because math and science are so important in terms of assessment at the state and national level. Schools are judged by those numbers, money is funneled to the schools because of those numbers, and parents want their children to have a good foundation in math and science because of the perception that those scores are more meaningful.

My daughter graduated high school last year. I asked her some simple questions the other day and as I suspected, she didn’t have a clue as to what the correct answers were. Those simple questions I asked her included: “Obama is what number President?” She didn’t have a clue, “How many members make up the Supreme Court?” She answered “12”, “What did Truman Capote do for a living?” and her answer was…..”Wasn’t he a gangster?” She did get the following question right though not by normal means did she know the answer: Is Obama a republican or democrat? When she said democrat I asked her how she knew that one. She told me because had he been a republican, I probably wouldn’t dislike him quite as much. I had to give her some credit for figuring out the right answer.

There are so many students today that can’t speak a complete sentence much less write one. When they actually do try to write a complete sentence, half the words are spelled wrong because spelling is no longer considered important enough to be taught beyond the elementary years or stressed at the high school level. We have spell check to take care of that for us. If you recommend remedial classes for a student, it’s alarming how many parents will protest because of the embarrassment it will bring upon their child. If I were an employer or an admissions person at a college or other institute and someone misspelled half their words on a job or entrance application, that application would immediately go to the bottom of the pile and by the time I got back to it, the likelihood of there being a slot remaining open is practically zero.

Here in Kansas City, the annual school budget for the KCMO school district is approximately $1.2 billion per year. The district for years has been nothing more than a bottomless money pit. Compare Kansas City school district to that of Omaha, NE. These cities rank 30th and 31 respectively in the nation in size yet Omaha’s annual educational budget is just over $500 million per year. That is less than half of KC’s budget for those of you that graduated high school within the last 5 years. There is less than a 600 student difference between the two districts. KCMO school district in 2009 had more classrooms than did Omaha yet Omaha ranked higher in almost every educational category. So it’s quite obvious that money is not the problem.

There are several factors that come into play when it comes to the quality of education our kids get in public school. First off, let me start by saying that I believe that the most dangerous union in the nation is the NEA or Teacher’s Union. When the former head of the union recently gave his farewell speech, he stated it quite plainly. He said that the purpose of the union was not for the betterment of education. The primary purpose of the union was power and money. Now, I believe whole heartedly that there are many fine teachers out there that do the job because they love it, they want to educate the youth of this nation. Why do a job for half your life if you don’t love it. Unfortunately, I believe 10% of all teachers and principals in the public education system are there strictly for the paycheck, perks and prestige that come with the position and nothing more. Teachers have been well respected in communities for more than two centuries now and that respect has been rightfully earned by many, but not all. The union members know that all they have to do is last long enough to be tenured in and unless they are convicted of a crime, the school district basically can’t fire them without risking a lawsuit. What other job can you get where you get multiple weeks off every summer and you still earn vacation days during the 10 months that you actually work? Let me be clear, not all our public educators are in their position primarily because of the perks. I believe that those 10% that I mentioned are the ones dragging public education and the 90% fighting to do their jobs correctly through the mud and our communities are suffering as a result.

Another serious problem with public education is school boards. For one, school boards have way too much authority and in many districts, abuse that power. The power of the school boards should be regulated by the state. School boards should have the power to review and recommend changes to school policy, not dictate school policy so long as it falls within the guidelines of the state. They should have the power to amend school policy or a decision made by a principal or superintendent by a vote of not less than ¾’s approval so long as their decision falls within guidelines regulated by the state. Far too often politics and personal interest come into play on school boards. I think that if you have a child currently enrolled in the school district, you should automatically be disqualified from holding a seat on the board. If you hold another public office, you should be disqualified from sitting on the school board.

Arguably the biggest problem with public education comes from the federal government itself. Why should the federal government be mandating to schools? What dictates that some senator or representative from Connecticut knows more about what kids need and how to educate them in New Mexico than those that serve in the New Mexico state houses who have personal vested interest in those school systems? What gives big brother the right to mandate that schools will spend more money in this area of education and less in that that area? What sense does it make for the federal government to have a department of education in the first place when every state in America has their own? How ridiculous is it that the federal government collects taxes from people of all states, uses that money to pay those employed by the federal dept of education then gives that same department money to give back to the states and dictates to them how they can use it? I know there are several different channels that the money flows through, but it still comes out the same way. What purpose does the federal department of education serve anyway other than just being another government entity that uselessly and needlessly sucks up federal tax dollars? Sorry, common sense here, dissolve the DoE and let the states keep their own money. That makes a lot more sense to me.

It is my belief that every high school student (grade 9-12) should have at least 2 full years of U.S. History and 1 year in some other Social Science area. However, in one state that I got a response from, the requirement for the entire social science field is only three semesters. In that state, the requirement for English is 3 years, but you can substitute a year if you take drama or some other approved elective.

Administrators do the best they can considering that they must balance what the state and federal governments mandate and they have a limited number of days with which to accomplish those requirements and must do so with limited budgets. Now, in the era of shrinking budgets, imagine yourself as a district superintendent in the state of Texas. Your budget was just cut by another 10%. You must now decide where you are going to have to cut to meet all the requirements that you are mandated to meet. Far too often those cuts are made in areas of arts, yet the football team is still allowed to keep its 12 member coaching staff when 5 will do. The school board and the district would demand the superintendent’s resignation if he messed with the football program. The school marching band will not be allowed to participate in the Christmas Parade in a neighboring town because there is no money but some kid who lives 200 yards from the school can jump on a bus and ride it to school so he doesn’t have to walk off any of the 3000 calories he acquired from eating McDonalds the night before. Make him walk to school or have his parents bring him and the parents will be protesting at the next board meeting calling for the superintendent’s resignation. You are the superintendent. What do you do? Get rid of 7 coaches? Reduce the size of the bus fleet and limit service to only those living a mile away or further? Cut money from the band, music and art classes? Perhaps you cut some funds from each. These are the decisions being made everyday. Schools spend a fortune in athletics yet less than 1 in 50 high school student athletes will ever play at the college level. You actually have a better chance of getting into college on a band scholarship than you do an athletic scholarship yet funding for band will be cut long before athletics.

One teacher stated that we need to make grades K-12 year round. I know of no such school that lacks air conditioning so summer heat would not be a factor for consideration. With the advances made in farming, it is no longer beneficial for farmers to have large family to help work the land and it is reasonable to assume that with advances in farming and equipment, students who do live on farms can easily attend school a full day and still be productive after the school day is over. Many of the teachers I questioned favored a longer school year but did not explicitly say how long to extend the school year.

Another concern was brought up by every teacher but one. History, Civics, Geography, Government……..these classes are repeatedly being used by districts to provide coaches and other non-subject matter experts places to fill their day so they may justify drawing a full paycheck. Growing up, I had some of these as class instructors. All they could do was read directly from the book. History, Geography, Government….these are not just facts to be remembered long enough to pass a test then forgotten. These are all full of wonderful stories of who we are, how our nation was formed, what events took place that shaped our country and formed our government. I’m paraphrasing one teacher but her comment was that how can any young person today make an intelligent choice when voting if they do not know why our forefathers created the constitution, what is in the constitution and how government is supposed to work in accordance to the constitution.

In closing, I am going to use another comment from a 30 plus year educator:
I do agree with you that we have to know our history, but more than that, we have to understand it. Somewhere along the way, we have to instill the importance of all knowledge to students. We have to build on those foundations of learning to read and write and do arithmetic and add the basis for thinking and understanding. I wish I had the answer for how to accomplish that. (I’d be really rich by now if I knew.) Research tells us that “teacher quality – not star principals, laptop computers, or abundant electives – is the crucial ingredient for (student) success.” We are also told that: “It’s not how much money you have, apparently, but how you spend it. And it’s not only what you teach, but how you teach it….” I guess it boils down to this: We have to hold teachers to a high standard. We also have to hold administrators accountable for providing the best possible teacher for every subject and not just accepting a warm body in front of the classroom. When we can get that done, then we will see students who have that well-rounded education, not just in math and science, but also in history and English and all those other content areas.

It seems that Democrats are all for higher taxes on the rich, but when push comes to shove they try to avoid them too!

Charlie Rangel this week became immersed in his ethics investigation, the stone walling for the last few years is finally over. The once chairman for the Ways and Means Committee (the group who writes the IRS rules) has come under scrutiny for his rent controlled properties in NY city and his Dominican Republic vacation properties, and various other charges, that he as the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, knew were against the law. Rangel was replaced by another despicable Democrat with IRS problems of his own Pete Stark who tried to claim a homestead tax on his secondary home in Maryland which isn’t allowed.

We are all aware of Democrats who have skirted their IRS obligations, only to miraculously discover the error of their ways once they were named for specific Obama cabinet posts. Unlike us they were only made to pay the “oversight” in taxes, but not the penalties and interest.

Just this week we watched as John Kerry was exposed trying to skate his own state excise taxes on his 7 million dollar yacht, by docking it in Rhode Island. I don’t think anyone would question that if this wasn’t exposed he would have never come clean on this tax indiscretion.

I’m not asking that politicians be held to some higher morality, let’s just hold them to the very same laws they write that WE have to adhere to.

I am a Racist!

I am a Racist!
Al Ritter

I am a racist if I don’t agree with the Healthcare Reform bill. I am a racist if I want the responsibility of buying my own health insurance. I am a racist if I want Barack Obama to fail in his effort to “fundamentally change America.” I am a racist because I demand proof of Obama’s birth certificate and to make the records of his passport public.

I am a racist because I don’t see the sense in turning the New Black Panthers loose AFTER their conviction. I am a racist because I want to see the Mexican Border secured from the influx of illegals that spew into our country on a daily basis. I am a racist because I support Israel rather than Hamas. I am a racist because I don’t think that a mosque should be build across the street from where 3000 American citizens were killed by Muslim terrorists. I am a racist because I don’t like Barack Obama, but I share the same dislike for Joe Biden, Rahm Emanuel, and David Axlerod too.

I am a racist because I reserve an opinion until I have all the facts, not because I jump to conclusions based on prejudice. I am a racist because I don’t believe in a war that hasn’t been declared by congress. I am racist because I hold the idea that no “war” can be won based on the idea of “winning over hearts and minds of the people,” the very same strategy was tried in Korea and Viet Nam, and accomplished nothing. I am a racist because I don’t like the direction my country is taking. I am a racist if I think that abortion is wrong, but I’d been just fine thinking that execution is wrong for murderers.

The charge of racism is indefensible at any level. How do you prove you are NOT a racist? Maybe Congress should have banned the word racist before they spend all the time and energy to ban the word “retard.”

Socialism in America

Socialism in America
William G. Burmer

Part II of III


In chapter three of this text we defined what a Republic and Democratic Government are. We determined that they were not related to the republican or democratic parties which, are political entities.


Presently our government, working within the confines of a Democracy controls the citizen, and in vague terms itself by the use of Statutes and Codes. For several decades under “Color of Law” our public servants have brought about dramatic social changes that have severely altered the face of our once great Republic. Like it or not we have taken on the visage of a collectivistic state.


Socialist ideology has no place in a true republic. Our most recent history, of the last one hundred years, has proved itself most detrimental to our republic. Following the turn of the century, the sixteenth amendment, incorporation of the Federal Reserve, two world wars, the Great Depression, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam conflict have all contributed to a social, moral, and political unraveling of our society. In truth none of this need to have occurred if only our leaders in Washington DC would have heeded the advice given by the Father of our Country at his farewell address 19th September 1796, before leaving office Washington pontificated: “. . . .Europe (and the rest of the world) has a set of primary interests which to us have none or very remote relation. Hence, she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the cause of which, are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in . . . her politics.’ . . . ‘Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rival ship, interests, humor, or caprice? It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. ---So far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it.” Ital. Added.


When we begin, as we have in past few generations, involve ourselves in trying to bring other nations into compliance, or for any other noble however, misguided reasons attempt to parallel with our values, or those of the “New World Order under UN control,” we invite conflict and a clash of culture which, inevitable diminishes our sovereignty and those others involved.


America needs to be isolationist in the political sense. On the private side we can and should offer help and assistance where needed. But, when conflicts arise we should avoid involvement. We do need to respect other cultures and allow those societies who differ with our values to exist in peace without interference, no matter how repressive we may view them. Thus real peace and mutual respect will be allowed to exist between all nations and peoples. I cannot believe that there would not be more peace in the world as a result! It is clear that our founders understood this principle and applied it for the first century of our Republic.


President Washington issued his “Proclamation of Neutrality” when approached by France in 1793 to help them during the French Revolution. President Monroe and John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, again maintained Americas none interference in European affairs in1823 by issuing the “Monroe Doctrine” declining to interfere in European dependencies and asserting Americas right to protect its boarders from invasion by foreign interests. Shortly thereafter we kicked Spain out of Florida, and France ceded her claims on the Louisiana Territories. Our founders understood the danger of getting involved in European affairs. We must somehow summon the character as a nation to return to our Republican roots, replacing internationalism and endless war with the old-fashioned virtue of minding our own business.

Does anyone else see the insanity?

Does anyone else see the insanity?
Al Ritter

I watch the government start a legal battle with Arizona, and their Governor Jan Brewer, when all the Arizona legislature did was restate the federal law pertaining to illegal immigration. After all the ballyhoo the Administration made about racial profiling and injecting the race card into an argument, it seems that the case the feds have presented only claim that they have the right to enforce immigration and not the state. This idea has been shot down time after time in the past.
The problem doesn’t lie with who has the right to enforce federal immigration policies, it has to do with who WILL! The law is clear, it encourages states to work WITH the feds in enforcing the immigration laws, and the Arizona law sb 1070 does just that!

The thing that is infuriating is that certain “sanctuary cities” have laws that forbid their local police departments to help in immigration enforcement. The citizens in Maryland are very familiar with such laws. Takoma Park for one specifically forbids officers from participating in anything to do with illegal immigration enforcement. This is specifically spelled out in federal law, and yet political intervention by this administration has shown that they never intend to stop illegal immigration, but to offer support to localities like Takoma Park.
Clear law precedence declares laws that offer sanctuary to illegal aliens is against federal law, and yet Attorney General Eric Holder refuses to sue those localities, but instead wastes taxpayer money on a ridiculous law suit, that can only have a favorable outcome to his benefit if he happens to get a liberal judge to hear the case.

People are tired of this abuse of reckless power. Liberals always see the expenditure of funds as the doling out of government money. The fact is that the government has NO MONEY of their own! They refuse to see that, and then add the idea of “only we know best how to spend money,” and what is best to spend it on.
The feds will spend millions of dollars on this Arizona suit, and Arizona will spend millions to defend themselves. Jan Brewer wants conservatives to donate to the legal fund to defend a suit that shouldn’t have been made to begin with! All this money being spent is OURS, not theirs! So we spend it on both sides, how crazy is all of this?

All of this could have been avoided had the federal government just done their job in the first place!

The Obama Administration claims that the fact that more border agents are along the Mexican Border than any Administration in the past is good enough, yet not 30 miles from Phoenix a federal park has been basically handed over to Mexican Drug Cartels.
What we are experiencing is an INVASION Mr. President, and it is YOUR job to protect us against invasion in our homeland. It is NOT your job to encourage illegals to bleed our system of freedom dry! DO YOUR JOB!

Socialism in America

Socialism in America
William G Burmer

Part 1


It is inevitable when talking of or writing about collectivism, most people will lump such revelations into a form of conspiracy, and errantly or deliberately dismiss the issue entirely. This is especially true in America, where too many of us view our nation thru “rose colored glass s’; like two newlyweds we cannot see those dangers that loom all about us which, in truth will eventually shred our idealisms. We would like to believe all is well about us; however, this is in truth, not the situation.


First ask the question, what is a conspiracy, and why is it so hard to see those changes that have taken place in America for the last several years which indeed are radical, or the very antithesis of the Republic our Constitution prescribes? Could it be that in order to accept a conspiracy to enslave us, we would first have to accept the Christian appellation that there are opposites; right and wrong, that there is in very deed, good and evil in the world?


A conspiracy is a deliberate plot to do evil. We know that there was a conspiracy to crucify Christ, see Mark 14: 1. We also know that the Devil is the father of all lies and that he masquerades himself as an angel of light, see 2nd Corinthians 11: 14-15. Is it evil to manipulate America from deifying God to deifying man? Is it evil to socialize aid and institutionalize communist principles in our government, and society in general?


Does it take more than one evildoer to plot a conspiracy, to attack and carry out that conspiracy to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, and fly two civilian jumbo jets into the same buildings in “9/11.”? You bet it does! Does it take more than one person to conspire to fill our schools and the minds of our children with amoral sex education, to design programs, print schoolbooks and compel teachers to teach our children about homosexuality, “safe sex,” and “alternate lifestyles”? Is it evil to put aside the sacred institution of marriage, and destroy the family unit? If you agree then you must also agree there has been, and continues to be an ongoing conspiracy to institutionalize these things! If you don’t agree, I feel pity for you, for you have allowed yourself to be made a fool.


From the beginning of our nation’s history there are groups of individuals who have been active in manipulating evil, to purposely cause wars, wage war, and lose wars purposely, for political gains, to aid the enemy while our solders die on the battlefield, and bring our nation to the brink of communist control, and to create a “New World Order.” By destroying the family, true religion, and the best economic system that has ever existed, with all these barriers of resistance removed, America is ripe for tyranny. Thus one of the greatest nations in the world is made another slave to Socialism. Yes, I would call this a conspiracy.

I've been a bit busy this week working on several projects. Illegal Immigration is one huge problem this week as a form of amnesty has worked its way through the house; we need to make a stand on this! America has always been a nation of laws, but the present administration has been working for almost two years to circumvent those very laws we as conservatives hold dear.

It is important that we tell our senators this will not be tolerated, over 60% of America disagrees with the law suit against the Arizona law sb 1070. We want the Administration and Congress to listen to the majority of their constituents and end this insanity of an amnesty program. The illegal alien problem isn't just a product of this President; it has been going on since Richard Nixon. 9/11 changed our border problem forever; we cannot have any form of National Security until we address the hundreds or perhaps thousands of people streaming over our borders on a daily basis. Illegal aliens cause more of a drain on our tax dollar than the overused argument of the liberals of "the cost of the Iraqi war."

Anchor babies are yet another problem passed by Congress, and only serve to break families apart, and tax our system even more. Where are the level headed thinkers that should be running our country based on laws and not "social conscience?" We should be making laws based on what is best for America, not laws based on a small portion of people.

The preamble to the Constitution says that natural and naturalized citizens are entitled to the benefits and rights afforded in the Constitution, it doesn't say anything about non-citizens being entitled to ANYTHING, and yet our Congress and President pander to these groups that don't represent any legal standing.

If a citizen, a politician, or a serviceman does have "proper standing" to require our President to produce his birth certificate, then why should any illegal alien have standing to make demands on our government?

Please cut and paste the following letter and send it to your Senator TODAY, time is running out!

Dear Sen. Smith:
This is more than a letter of protest of efforts to provide amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. It's a promise of a vote against any senator who supports such a plan.

It's a promise of financial support to candidates opposing any senator who supports such a plan.

It's a promise to expose this betrayal of the rule of law and the will of the people to the constituents of any senator who approves such legislation.

It's a promise to use any legal means necessary to thwart the future ambitions and aspirations of any senator who chooses to reward lawbreakers and punish law-keepers.

It's a promise to fight tooth and nail, even resorting to peaceful civil disobedience if necessary, to ensure that such legislation can never be carried out.

I don't expect you to read all of the "No Amnesty Pledge" letters currently flooding into your office. All you have to do is read one – and notice the volume of duplicate letters you are receiving, all sent by different American citizens who are thinking about this issue just as I am.

Frankly, we're concerned that what is being considered by the U.S. Senate would tear this country apart, break trust between the people and government and forever change the character of our nation and our communities.

Vote no on amnesty – or else!

Taxes Again

Taxes again
William G Burmer


We as patriot Citizens must be willing to do everything we can to disseminate truth and not error. We cannot be successful if all we do is “preach to the choir.” There are many voices, which need training.


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 could be next.


It is clearly inscribed within the Constitution, if we would follow that rule of law, everyone who would claim to 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. 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; it is in truth a despotic, criminal, tyrannical régime which currently administers our tax laws.


The IRS claims that our system of taxation is voluntary, if so then why should we be forced to voluntarily give up our wealth? Government financing and taxation is constitutionally defined see Article 1, Section 8; 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 assumes they have the power to do whatever they desire; as they believe we are sleeping at the voting booth.


The principle of accountability by government comes under the jurisdiction of the Congress; see Section 10. 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. Some tend to forget, or are so blinded by negative political rhetoric, 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. 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.” Ever so often a politician does come along who really means what they say and follows through with their promises. We all know however, that this is such a rare occurrence, it is hardly worth mentioning.


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 sense 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 one hundred years.

Dazed and Confused

Dazed and Confused
Al Ritter

I am so confused about our government’s latest legal problems. The first problem was when the DOJ dropped charges against the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation in Philadelphia in 2008, and yet even with overwhelming evidence in the way of video, they get released. Mean while in Arizona, because of Arizona’s sb 1070 anti-illegal legislation, the DOJ sees fit to sue to revoke a law that only mirrors the federal law, so that they may enforce a law that the federal government refuses to enforce.

Talking heads from the Obama Administration have claimed that Arizona is safer now than it’s ever been. What they should have said is that the federal government has more border personnel than they have ever had, but it’s still not enough. The feds have given up federal park areas to drug lords from Mexico, not 30 miles from Phoenix, but keep telling us that America is safe.

The third item is the federal judge who rescinded the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf has given stern warning to the Administration against reinstituting the moratorium. This has been decided in federal court, and yet the Administration wants to strong arm their way to achieve the results THEY want at any cost.

For a Whitehouse that employs more lawyers than any Administration in the past, it sure seems to me that they are flaunting their power and daring anyone to challenge them. The sad part in all these challenges is that there is a 50/50 chance that either side will win based on whether or not the cases will be heard by a liberal or conservative judge. America has been so divided by this President, whatever happened to the man who was supposed to bring the nation together?

The Communist Manifesto

The Communist Manifesto
William G Burmer

Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to affect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto… The following brief presents the original ten planks within the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart for each of the planks. From comparison its clear MOST Americans have by myths, fraud and deception under the color of law by their own politicians in both the Republican and Democratic and parties, been transformed into Communists.

Another thing to remember, Karl Marx while creating the Communist Manifesto designed these planks AS A TEST to determine whether a society has become communist or not. If they are all in effect and in force, then the people ARE practicing communists.

I am sensitive to the reality that many who may read this are working for, and receive their livelihood from working within or for these corporations of government. Never the less it is important to point out that these very institutions, no matter how philanthropic they sound or may be, are responsible for taking from us our liberties, and abilities to care for ourselves, and our neighbors as Christ would want us to do.

This is my favorite: %$$%#%##*&)()_)_)^(*^&^

The second plank of the Communist Manifesto reads: “The proletariat (National Leader- B. H. OBAMA) 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.” Original translation (Ital. Added)


The 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto


A complete text of the Communist Manifesto can be retrieved from the Internet by simple keying in Communist Manifesto .I feel it is important to point out the keys by which communism is achieved in society, they include these principles:


1. Abolition of property in land (confiscation of benefits) and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Under: Federal Parks and Recreation/Implementation of Rights of Eminent Domain.)

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (Via: IRS/In CA the FTB)

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. (Federal Confiscation of farm Land c/o death tax)

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (Federal and State Welfare Laws/ Endangered Species Act-Road Maintenance and Abandonment Plan/ Dept of Natural Resources.)

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Federal Reserve System/International Monetary Fund under UN control.)

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State. (Under: FCC / AMTRAC and BART / FAA / Maritime Administration / Fed Railroad Adm. / Dept of Transportation / Fed Highway Adm.)

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. (Environmental Protection Agency / OSHA-Occupational Safety and Health Act, with the Employment and Training Adm.)

8. Equal liability of all to labor; Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (Minimum Wage Acts / Product Safety Acts under HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ADM. / Positive Action programs.)

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. (Agricultural Adjustment Acts Under Dept. of Agriculture. / Urban Homesteads /Dept. of HUD.)

10. Free education for all children in public schools; Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial productions; etc. (Dept. of Education, state and federal by President Carter’s Adm.) Taken away from the private sector in 1979.)


Now that we can see these institutions are in place, we are ready for another phase of tyranny---enter the United Nations. Concerning the true goals of the UN, this should send a chill up your spine, taken from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, and D.C. Price 15 cents. Department of State Publications 7277 Disarmament Series 5, Released September 1961, Office of Public Services BUREAU OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, 1961 0---609147 pamphlet “FREEDOM FROM WAR” The United States program for general, and complete disarmament in a peaceful world. Emphasis added


Made all the more haunting since it was printed three years before the beginnings of the Vietnam Conflict; I have chosen to quote only the last page of this pamphlet since it says more than all the other 17 pages combined:


“By the time Stage II has been completed, the confidence produced through a verified disarmament program, the acceptance of rules of peaceful international behavior, and the development of strengthened international peace-keeping processes within the framework of the U.N. should have reached a point where the states of the world can move forward to stage III. In stage III progressive controlled disarmament and continuously developing principles and procedures of international law would proceed to a point where no state (meaning the state you live in) would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force and all international disputes would be settled according to the agreed principles of international conduct.


“The progressive steps to be taken during the final phase of the disarmament program would be directed toward the attainment of a world in which: a) States (meaning United States of America) would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments, and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining internal order; they would also support and provide agreed manpower for a U.N Peace Force. b) The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and quantities of armaments, would be fully functioning. c) The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes. d) The peacekeeping capabilities of the United Nations would be sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states (meaning, again, the state you live in) under such arrangements sufficiently far reaching as to assure peace and the just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.


Now if this information printed by our own government does not create within you some grave concerns, I suppose nothing will!! This is absolute proof that our government plans to turn America over to tyrants, Led today in June 2010 by Barrack Husain Obama.


My Great grandfather died when I was twenty-one years old. He once told me “communism is the greatest threat to our country’s liberties there ever could be. At heart, communism is atheistic and antagonistic to freedom and other Christian principles.”


America is better than this. Turn again to God, freedom, and Constitutional Principle. Turn to Liberty. Take back you individuality, and ability to do for yourself and be able to bless others. You are a child of God; your rights come from Him, not from man, governments, Kings or Queens.

Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010

Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010
Al Ritter

I have some real problems with this act which will use the form of an amendment to add yet another government agency to the enormous machine that we can’t feed now. This act will be an amendment to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The senate bill is S. 3480 and the house version is H.R. 5548. The bill gives carte blanche to the “Director” who will be named by the President to set regulations. There are no real rules as of yet, but one glaring rule made in the beginning.

These are the following areas I have problems with;

Page 15 Sec. 103 Prohibition on political campaigning

Page 17 Sec 105 Access to intelligence the agency will DIRECT access to everything
that was once considered as privileged information by servers

Page 53 Sec 24 Authority of the Director to access ANY government agency to gain information

Page 94 line 8 Civil penalties (government may sue you, but you may not sue the government)

Page 98 line 10 Protection of information by director to “prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency”

Page 169 line 18 the director along with the Sec. of Education to select curriculum to school children

Page 176 lines 13 and 14 Pay scales; “can’t exceed GS-10 for entry level”

I see it as very offensive that the same social network that President Obama used to obtain his campaign win could be off limits to all political campaigning in the future, I find it offensive that an agency will now have NO boundaries to collect information on anyone at the whim of the director, I find it offensive that the government may sue me in civil court but I have no similar recourse. I find it offensive that material may be removed from the internet to prevent embarrassment to anyone the director sees as necessary to protect? I find it offensive that anyone other than the Sec. of Education may set curriculum for school children. I find it offensive that the pay scales for entry level positions may go as high as the highest government pay scale.

Political Equality in Baltimore County Zoning Laws?

Political Equality in Baltimore County Zoning Laws?
Al Ritter

Baltimore County and patriot Steve Kolbe are still at odds over the enforcement of an“alleged” Baltimore County violation to force Mr. Kolbe to remove a 4 foot by 8 foot Ehrlich for Governor lawn sign. Mr. Kolbe received a citation exactly one week to the day from the sign’s installation, and he was required to remove it one week from the date of notice, or face a $200 a day fine. Mr. Kolbe complied with the order, but has chosen to proceed in court citing his right to express his freedom of speech.

Fast forward to yesterday; when this reporter spotted a similar size sign in a residential area of Baltimore County. The sign this time is for Kevin Kamenetz, a Democratic candidate for Baltimore County Executive. Surely Mr. Kamenetz had read about the stir caused by the Ehrlich sign on Mr. Kolbe’s property, one would have to live under a rock not to have heard about it, by all the media attention that was given to the issue. The property this sign rests on is in the road easement in front of the development “West Padonia,” from developer Tom Brooks, the actual address is 941 West Padonia Rd.

Even with my basic grasp of math, the 4 foot by 8 foot sign equates to 32 square feet, the same exact size of the sign that Mr. Kolbe had to remove from his property last month.

A bigger question now will be; will this sign be allowed to stand without citation from Baltimore County Zoning, or will the owner of this property be given the same time to remove it or face fines equal to Mr. Kolbe’s ?

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome
Kevin Bryant

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

I know I said I was going on vacation and not write again until the fall. Something made me think of this last night and it just would not get out of my head. I knew that if I didn’t write this, I would regret not doing it. So……..

Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt. Before Barack Obama, history has shown that these three men were the biggest destroyers of liberty ever to occupy the White House, each a hero of the progressive movement in the United States, each in their own right clearing a path for another progressive to come in and move the country more towards a progressive utopia, each one ultimately falling short of their goals.

I don’t think Obama’s agenda is quite the same as the other three. Where the other three tried and failed in setting up a European style socialist state here in America, I think Obama has a different idea on where to take the country. Where the Roosevelts and Wilson wanted the country to be a far left total government control, I think Obama actually wants the country to go in the opposite direction. I believe that Obama actually wants to collapse the government not so as to set up a socialist style form of government but to get rid of government all together. I believe Obama is not a socialist but an anarchist.

Before you dismiss me, think about a few things. Other than Hillary Clinton, who has Obama put into office that is more loyal to the Democratic Party than they are to Obama and his ideas? From Van Jones, to Anita Dunn, to John Podesta to Valerie Jarrett. These are no party loyalist; they are all anti-government radicals all in some way being funded by one means or another by George Soros, himself an anti-government capitalist opportunist who made a fortune off the collapse of the British sterling. Van Jones said it himself: “We don’t want to fix the system, we want a new system”.

Why would you sign into law a health care bill that does nothing to fix the problems of healthcare? Why would you want to bring known terrorist onto American soil and give them constitutional rights? Why would you not secure the borders when you have indisputable proof that terrorist are crossing that same border? Why would you put a known supporter of Hugo Chavez in the FCC and give him authority equal to that of the FCC chairman? Why would you loan $2 Billion to an extremely profitable company that George Soros is heavily invested in? Why would you purposely put 20,000 oil rig and support workers out of work knowing that the companies that own the rigs can’t afford to have them sitting idle? Why allow and environmental disaster to continue and stop all outside influences from correcting or minimizing the situation? Why would you protect the thugs and crooks of ACORN and SEIU? Lastly, why the need to fill every government department and agency with a czar that answers to no one but the office of the President?

Obama once stated that the Constitution gets in the way of government. If something gets in the way of the military, they in turn improvise, adapt and overcome the obstacle so they can complete their mission. In Obama’s case, the obstacle is the Constitution.

If my theory is correct and Obama is an anarchist as I suspect, some pretty sharp and committed minds had to be behind the planning of this. Where the Roosevelts and Wilson failed, Obama just might succeed. Wilson, Teddy & FDR all played on public support once they were in office. They used public emotions to set things in motion and then used that emotion to rally congress to do their bidding. Of course they were all in power before Cloward & Piven and Saul Alinsky all came to the forefront of the progressive movement.

In St. Louis, a man was beaten by multiple SEIU thugs and the government refused to prosecute. In Philadelphia, members of the black panthers stood outside voting places and intimidated voters verbally while wielding night sticks. Again, the government refused to prosecute. In fact, since Obama came into office, not one federal prosecution has been conducted against a member of leftist organization who committed a violent act. Why?

Illegals are not being prosecuted, but actually protected by the federal government. Union thugs and radical members of ethnic racial groups allowed bully and intimidate the citizens of this country. Our president arrogantly ignores the majority of the people, Congress passes legislation that is destroying the economy, Executive orders being issued and not challenged so as to avoid the courts, Czars not being vetted, Bankers and oil executives being vilified. A government that now controls over 70% of the economy and spending money uncontrollably. This is a perfect storm in the making. All it needs is something to set everything in motion.

As Rahm Emanuel said, “never let a crisis go to waste”. Obama and his thugs have taken advantage of every situation to circumvent he system to achieve more power and control. Yet the prize still eludes him. What is the prize you ask? That is a simple answer, what did Obama say gets in the way of government? The Constitution. Obama and his handlers know every trick in the book thanks to the likes of Cloward/Piven and Alinsky as to how to get around everything but the constitution.

So, how do you get around the constitution? The answer is by using the powers that are allowed by the constitution against it.

Like I said, Obama has all the ingredients for the making of the perfect storm: an angry public, thugs and crooks in power in every department of government and an economy imploding. Remember Rahm Emanuel (never let a crisis go to waste), you need one crisis to destroy this country and the constitution and you need look no further than Greece. That’s right, all he and his handlers need is nationwide civil unrest. Obama needs that one thing so that he may declare Martial Law. Martial law is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but the suspension of habeas corpus is mentioned in Article 1, Section 9, and the activation of the militia in time of rebellion or invasion is mentioned in Article 1, Section 8.

The constitution is the enemy of Obama and progressive anarchist. You can’t attack it head on because eventually the constitution will prevail, so you must improvise and adapt to overcome your enemy (the constitution). Use the powers of the constitution against the constitution to defeat it. Suspend habeas corpus and with nothing left to keep the government in check, remember, he has all his anarchist cronies already in place to prevent retribution, Obama, Soros, Van Jones, Bill Ayers and the like have the power to do as they please and as Commander – in – Chief, what can the military do but ensure he stays in power.

May God prevent this from ever happening.

Two stories this week with conflicting Whitehouse messages

Two stories this week with conflicting Whitehouse messages
Al Ritter

The first story is the oil spill that will never end. In Sept 2009 TransOcean was given permission to drill in the Gulf off the coast of Louisiana. The first request made by BP was to drill in 500ft of water and was approved by the state of Louisiana, but the request was denied in its final form by the Federal Government, they told BP the drilling had to be in 5000ft of water regardless of the fact that no oil spill had ever been worked on in 5000ft of water.

Later this week a Federal judge ruled that President Obama’s 6 month moratorium on drilling on only certain oil rigs was unfounded according to the experts he consulted about the leak. Not one of the experts suggested he shut down all drilling. Robert Gibbs told reporters after the federal case that …. “President Barack Obama believes strongly that drilling at such depths does not make sense and puts the safety of workers "at a danger that the president does not believe we can afford."

Now if this is in fact true, why was it that the federal government told BP they had to drill in deeper water? Another troubling question is why did the federal government agency,Export-Import Bank give 2 billion to Petrobra, a Brazillian oil drilling company to do basically the same thing BP did but in 3 times deeper water?

The second story has to do with another Federal Judge who ruled on Tuesday that it will now be illegal to donate any money to a terrorist organization, even if labeled as “humanitarian aid”. Since 2006 Hamas has been on the official State Department Terrorist Organization List. Shortly after his inauguration, Barack Obama showed his intention of backing this group that had been previously funded by Saudi Arabia and Iran, by promising $900 million to Hamas for “reconstruction”. Recently he added to that total by another $400 million.

Nothing has changed in the political climate with these terrorists, and yet this administration continues to support them. If the definition of treason includes giving comfort and aid to the enemy, President Barack Obama has filled both requirements, and I for one want to know when he will be charged.

How many times do I get to vote again?

How many times do I get to vote again?
Al Ritter

REAL Americans know that when voting time comes, we get to vote ONCE and only once. Liberals have never played by the same rules and Federal Judge Stephen Robinson thinks similarly, he cited that the “one person one vote” idea violated the Voting Rights Act in Port Chester, NY. A town of nearly 50% Latino population of approx. 30,000 residents had no representation in the six trustee seats. This town of a majority of white voters was told that Latinos would be allowed to vote six times to compensate for low Latino representation in government.

One has to wonder what this Judge is thinking when it comes to the “will of the people.” I don’t see how this obvious violation of the “intent of the law” can be left to stand. Hopefully a law suit will appeal this travesty of justice and the right of the voters. Hopefully this Judge can be run out of the state on a rail, and even better have his license removed to practice law in the future!
