Boirrowed from one of the best blog sits… www.nationalunityparty.net and well worth reading!! 9/8/2010

Like the young lady at the town hall meeting in Pennsylvania told Arlen Specter “You have awakened a sleeping giant”.

I’ve been around for a few years and have since the days of Adlai Stevenson had a kind of closet ambition to do something that would seriously impact how we view the federal government and what could be done to insure honest representation. I’ve always dreamed of going back in time and having conversations with guys like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, and Reagan. We know that at times during our storied history we have the good fortune to find these kind of courageous, intelligent, tough as nails patriots who genuinely cared about ALL the people and found a way through their own initiative to lead us on the path to PEACE and PROSPERITY. If you remember what these kinds of people accomplished in the face of extraordinary adversity, it doesn’t seem to matter whether they were labeled Democrat or Republican or Independent or Conservative or Liberal or any other ambiguous political tag you might imagine. What mattered was they were able to achieve a consensus and bring not only congress but the majority of the people TOGETHER to overcome whatever crisis we were facing.

I’m really beginning to doubt the validity or utility of this two party system. Most politicians spend billions of dollars and waste half their time spraying excrement on each other like a herd of hippopotamuses during the dry season. It makes you wonder how in the hedoublehockeysticks we’re ever going to find the means to insure the American way of life for our children and their children etc.. It appears that the mountain of debt that we have so cavalierly accumulated and that is rapidly threatening to uncover the core of our economic reactor will castrate future generations. They will not only be incapable of the pursuit of happiness, they might reach a point where millions of people in the third world find themselves today when they wake up each morning and thank God for finding breakfast on the table.

We cannot continue to tax individuals and businesses into oblivion simply because this government can’t learn to live within its means. We have to develop some program of extreme measures commensurate with the incalculable desperation we will no doubt face if we don’t take appropriate action NOW.

Here’s what the government just doesn’t understand. If they were to unveil a reasonably balanced proposal involving every facet of business and government that would guarantee economic stability and at least give our children a fighting chance at maintaining the American Dream, I think I can assure you we the people would be willing to make whatever sacrifices may be required. It would undoubtedly entail serious life style modification for at least 10 years and it would have to be a plan that could not be altered or disrupted by the president, congress, GOD or anyone else under ANY circumstances.

Here’s a note to the Republican Party. Unless you’re living on another planet, it is patently clear that you can expect an overwhelming majority in both houses barring some implausible misdeed or political suicide of some kind. It would therefore be advisable for those of you with any gift for innovative thinking to decide what course you’re going to follow. There will be no return to the failed policies of George GAG ME Bush. If you are so naive as to believe this country is going to accept the same self destructive ignorance that we saw for EIGHT YEARS then you are sadly mistaken.

We will not create or pursue ANY kind of foreign military conflicts. We will not tolerate corporate control of congress. We will expect immediate campaign finance reform. We will expect a sensible answer to secure our borders and deal with illegal immigrants. We will expect across the board support for TERM LIMITS. We will expect all congressmen to sign CAGW’s no pork pledge. We will demand respect and common sense to be demonstrated by every member of congress. We will expect a rational approach to health care reform. We will expect at least a 10 percent reduction in the size of our bloated bureaucracy. We will expect you to rethink the obscene compensation, benefit, and retirement packages now bestowed upon a privileged few in congress. We will expect an entirely new attitude and understanding of exactly what it means to be allowed to represent the people of this great country. Last but not least, if you people don’t do your job and find realistic answers to our very serious problems then you better start looking for a good real estate agent in the summer of 2012. IS THAT PERFECTLY CLEAR?

Now do I expect that out of the clear blue people like BOBBSSOBAMI and Nancy “are you freaking kidding me” Pelosi or Roland “are you serious” Burris or Henry Waxman or almost the entire crew from N. Illinois and New England except Scott Brown are going to miraculously grow a brain and turn in their DEMOCATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA CARD and stop flushing the taxpayers hard earned money down the toilet?? No I don’t. But then a very large number of these pathetic maggots will be permanently retired from public service before you can say corrupt Communist.

That will leave us with more people like Sen. DeMint of S.C. and Kay Bailey Hutchinson of TX and Sam Brownback of KS and Coburn of OKLA(in fact the entire crew from OKLA rates about a 9.9 out of a possible 10) and Paul Ryan of WI. and Christopher Lee of N.Y. and Jeff Flake of Arizona. The opportunity will present itself. The majority of this congress will have a chance to turn themselves into HISTORIC ALL AMERICAN HEROES. Like “they” say “HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST”. Let there be no doubt the country will be imminently prepared for 2012 if we don’t see some CONCRETE CHANGE in the performance of our representatives.

One last note : For those of you that are intent on plagiarizing my work, at least have the common courtesy to give me credit. One other thing – This website was just rated the number 2 political site in the country’s top 100. Go figure.

I’m going to do my very best to make it to the 9/11 protest so I’m publishing a little early this week.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Retribution is less than 59 days away!

Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.

U..S.. House &Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
Do you feel TAKEN ADVANTGE OF?
Will they have your cost of drugs – doctor fees – local taxes – food, etc., decrease?
NO WAY.
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.

Why should they care about you?
You never did anything about it in the past.
You obviously are too stupid or don’t care.
Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barny, et al, care about you?
Send the message to these individuals — “YOU’RE FIRED!”
In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!

Make sure you’re still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to mess-up.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse. Maybe it’s time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..

28th Amendment will be as follows:

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .”

Retribution is less than 4 Months away!

28th Amendment will be as follows:

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .”

You know, I have been studying our Government for some time, particularly in the context of the role that the Constitution plays in the administration of the Federal Government, and the effect that that has on the administration of the State Governments.  The 10th Amendment is very short, but probably the most important of all of the Amendments, in that it establishes the relationship between the Federal Government, and the States [inclusive of 'The People'].  In a mere twenty-eight words, The Founding Fathers have defined the distribution of Governmental Powers in this Nation, no small achievement.  They said:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.”

It is not a secret, that many of the actions of the Federal Government, which is inclusive of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches, are now being questioned by Constitutionalists, Constitutional Scholars, and Patriots, across this Nation!  The Federal Government, has expanded its own powers, usurping those that should reside in the States, by its [the Federal Government's] interpretation of its own!  Essentially, The Federal Government has determined that it has the power to expand itself, and that it [the Federal Government] is the sole arbiter of the extent of its power to infringe upon the Constitutional Rights of the States, and the people!  It [the Federal Government] claims exclusive ownership of the Authority to define the Constitution, imposing that purloined power in the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court, and that is wrong!  The Founders recognized the danger of a Federal Government, they feared a Federal Government that grew too large and too powerful!  They also were aware that such a government must not become so powerful, that it could define, and redefine itself; they also feared that the Federal Courts would be the instrument of such abuse, and they said:

“It is a very dangerous doctrine to consider the judges as the ultimate
arbiters of all constitutional questions.  It is one which would place us
under the despotism of an oligarchy.”
Thomas Jefferson

It is interesting that men such as Thomas Jefferson, who had so much to do with the birth of the Nation, and our Constitution, had an innate fear that they were contemporaneously creating an awesome power, that if left unencumbered by their Original Intent, would someday mutate, and become something that they never intended it should be; and they were correct, it is now running amok!  Mr. Jefferson did something two hundred years ago, that is being done every day today, he “Reverse Engineered” The Federal Government and the Constitution!  He began at what was the end, the Constitution.  He allowed that the Constitution was essentially a creation of the States, the States literally breathed life into this Constitution that they had created from nothing but ideas, like new parents, they [the States] gave “birth” to the Constitution!  He deconstructed one step further, and he saw that the States, which created the Constitution, had themselves been created by: “We the People.”  And, Mr. Jefferson rightfully saw that the culmination of Federal Power in the Constitution was, in fact, by the leave of “We the People”, via our States, and the Constitutional Conventions(s)!  He posited that the real arbiters of Constitutional Power, were the people from which all power to govern devolved; from which not only the Constitution and Federal Government evolved, but the States, and all Local Governments also flowed, “We the People”, we are “The Power”, and we are the arbiters of that Power!
Which brings me to today’s situation.  The Federal Government has exceeded its Constitutionally Enumerated Powers by expanding them into areas that should remain the prerogatives of the States.  I refer particularly to Article I, Section 8, Clauses 1, 3, and 18, and Article VI, Clause 2.  Mr. Jefferson would tell us that the Federal Government, if left to be the arbiter of its own power, will continually justify the expansion of that power through the (mis)interpretation of the Constitution.  He would tell us that the Federal Government should not make the rules, nor should judges who are part of that Federal Government.  He conceived a remedy, one that would put the ultimate power of arbitration into the hands of those from which all power flows, and that is “We the People!”  Through the process of “Nullification”, “The People” have the power to declare Federal Laws that are violative of the Constitutional allocation of powers, null and void!
Since Money Bills originate in the House of Representatives, if “We the People” can regain control of hat body this November, we can effectively stop Obama’s socialist agenda by defunding his legislation; his Health Care Legislation alone, requires the creation of over two hundred new Federal Agencies, without the funding, they cannot exist!  Add to that “defunding” power, the power of Nullification, and this Nation may yet be saved!  I strongly recommend that each of us study and become familiar with the process of Nullification, and that we demand that our Political Representatives do the same!

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., on Sunday said he and his colleagues are still looking for answers on whether the administration has seriously considered mass legalization for illegal immigrants, after an administration memo surfaced outlining ways to grant legalization without going through Congress.
The draft memo, first obtained by Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office from the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, outlines ways the administration was exploring to legalize swaths of illegal immigrants “in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform.” The memo describes how to, “reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization.”

Of course the Obama administration is trying to downplay the significance of the memo. But these denials ring hollow. And no one can deny the intent of the memo.
You don’t even have to read past the subject header of the memo to get a clue as to what the USCIS is up to: “Administrative Alternatives to Comprehensive Illegal Immigration Reform.” Is there any way to misread the objective here? Clearly the USCIS expended a considerable amount of effort trying to sneak this past Congress in order to implement the President’s illegal alien amnesty plan.
But even if you’re someone who believes you can’t judge a memo by its title, let’s take a look at some excerpts from the USCIS document so you can judge for yourself. (You can also read the entire memo for yourself by clicking here).
•     Options
The following items – used alone or in combination – have the potential to result in meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action.
•     Allow TPS [Temporary Protected Status] Applicants Who Entered Without Inspection to Adjust or Change Status
…Thus, USCIS should no longer adhere to the 1990 General Counsel opinions, and instead permit individuals in TPS to adjust or change status. Opening this pathway will help thousands of applicants obtain lawful permanent residence without having to leave the U.S.
•     Expand the Use of Parole-in-Place
USCIS has the discretionary authority under [federal law] to parole into the U.S. on a case-by-case basis for “urgent humanitarian reasons” or “significant public benefit” any applicant for admission…Granting parole to aliens in the U.S. who have not been admitted or paroled is commonly referred to as “parole-in-place” (PIP). By granting PIP, USCIS can eliminate the need for qualified recipients to return to their home country for consular processing, particularly when doing so might trigger a bar to returning.
•     Lessen the Standard for Demonstrating Extreme Hardship
…By statute, DHS has discretion to waive these grounds of inadmissibility for spouses, sons and daughters of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents if the refusal to admit these individuals would result in extreme hardship for their qualifying relatives. Generally the “extreme hardship” standard has been narrowly construed by USCIS. To increase the number of individuals applying for waivers, and improve their chances for receiving them, CIS could issue guidance or regulation specifying a lower evidentiary standard for “extreme hardship.”
•     Increase the Use of Deferred Action
…USCIS has previously allowed the use of deferred action to provide relief to non-immigrants whose period of admission had expired, or otherwise had failed to maintain lawful immigrant status…While it is theoretically possible to grant deferred action to an unrestricted number of unlawfully present individuals, doing so would likely be controversial, not to mention expensive…Rather than making deferred action widely available to hundreds of thousands and as a non-legislative version of “amnesty,” USCIS could tailor the use of this discretionary option for particular groups….

The memo goes on for about 11 pages with other recommendations that I cannot adequately cover in this space, so do consider taking the time to read the document for yourself. I’ve reviewed tens of thousands of government documents in my 12-plus years here at Judicial Watch. So it is not insignificant for me to say that this memo is about the most brazen and shocking government document I’ve ever reviewed.
Republicans and, eventually, even Democrats are unlikely to let this matter drop. In fact, according to Fox News, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have written to Chairman Leahy demanding the matter be investigated by the Committee: “We are very concerned about the options outlined in the memo and are troubled that the executive branch could be engaged in an effort to inappropriately expand its authority to ensure illegal immigrants are not removed from the United States and are given access to various immigration benefits, including potential green card status,” the Senators wrote.
Let’s sum up. Obama’s top political appointees in the agency charged with enforcing our immigration laws are spending their time thinking of ways not to enforce the law and how to bypass the elected representatives of the people to grant mass amnesty through a raw abuse of executive power.
Obama and his appointees are obviously impatient with the niceties of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. We already knew they’re against the rule of law with their coordinated and dishonest attack on Arizona’s SB 1070. This latest memo shows they’d be happy to throw the rule of law out entirely when it comes to immigration.
Judicial Watch is hard at work. We already had a Freedom of Information Act request in place on the secret amnesty plan, and we plan to expand our investigation in light of the new memo.
Rep. Maxine Waters on Ethics Hot Seat
The House Ethics Committee, dormant for years, has now sputtered to life twice in two weeks. Last week the committee announced multiple charges against beleaguered New York Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel in what is being called “one of the most politically explosive cases in years.”
This week Maxine Waters took her turn in the ethics hot seat. According to The Associated Press:

California Democrat Maxine Waters faces a House trial this fall on three charges of ethical wrongdoing, setting the stage for a second election-season public airing of ethics problems for a longtime Democratic lawmaker.
The charges focus on whether Waters broke the rules in requesting federal help for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on the board of directors. She denied the charges Monday.

Like Charlie Rangel, Waters is unapologetic and will fight the charges. The Committee’s statement and report on Rep. Waters is available here.
Judicial Watch has been all over the Waters/OneUnited Bank scandal for months. In fact, we successfully sued the Obama Treasury Department to get documents. As a result, we uncovered explosive emails four months ago from the Treasury that provide documented evidence to support the charges against Waters.
For instance, a January 13, 2009, email from Brookly McLaughlin, Treasury’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, expressing surprise at Waters’ apparent conflict of interest:

Further to email below, WSJ [Wall Street Journal] tells me: …Apparently this bank is the only one that has gotten money through section 103-6 of the EESA law. And Maxine Waters’ husband is on the board of the bank. ??????

And then there was this October 17, 2008, email from former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Banking and Finance King Mueller to former Assistant Treasury Secretary Neel Kashkari and other Treasury officials referencing the contact between Waters and Treasury:

Just spoke w/ Jim [Segel] in BF’s [Barney Frank’s] office. This is about One United Bank (a minority owned bank in BF’s district). Maxine Waters is interested in the bank as well, Treas[ury] and others met w/ them (minority bankers assoc) last month per the Water’s request. They were a big holder in f/f preferred. BF is interested and may call HMP [Henry Paulson] again about this. FDIC is their primary federal regulator.

Waters, in mounting her public defense, claims she did nothing wrong and had no influence over Bush administration officials. The evidence doesn’t quite bear this out. OneUnited got the funding. And, as I’ve pointed out in this space before, the bank was a very unlikely candidate to receive TARP funding without intervention from Waters and Frank.
Speaking of Barney Frank, he’s all over the Waters report from the Ethics Committee (he’s described as “Representative A”). To quote from the report (footnotes omitted):

…Representative Waters told Representative A that she was in a predicament because her husband had been involved in the bank, but “OneUnited people” were coming to her for help. According to Representative A, she knew she should say no, but it bothered her. It was clear to Representative A that this was a “conflict of interest problem.”
…Representative A’s advice to Representative Waters was to “stay out if it”—OneUnited was a Boston bank and he had a commitment to minority banks. He would address the problem. Representative A then asked his staff to take over the OneUnited issue from Representative Waters.
…Representative A had at least two conversations with Representative Waters in which he told her to not get involved in the OneUnited matter. The conversations likely occurred in September 2008, but he could not recall any specific dates.

Waters has outrageously suggested that she’s being unfairly targeted because she’s black. Rather than cynically playing the race card, she’d be on stronger ground to ask why it would be improper for her to contact Treasury because of a conflict of interest but OK for Frank to do it for her knowing this same of conflict of interest.
Frank seems to be getting a pass. And the media is noticing. The Boston Herald picked up on this point, and I appeared on Fox News Business Channel to discuss the scandal. Barney Frank, incredibly, defends himself by saying he approached Treasury not because of Waters, but for another corrupt politician with an interest in the bank!
Your Judicial Watch worked hard to push for a new ethics process in the House. In non-partisan fashion, we worked closely with the Democratic majority to establish the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and strengthen the ethics process generally. The result is far from perfect but is certainly not what both Democrats and Republicans expected (politicians hate a robust ethics process). Either way, there is a bit more accountability in the House of Representatives cesspool.
So we’re pleased the Ethics Committee was forced to take concrete action to hold Waters and Rangel accountable. But let’s not go overboard. The powerful Barney Frank is being provided cover, and we still don’t know how weak or strong the punishments might be for Waters and Frank. You can be sure we’ll keep the pressure on.
Stay tuned…
More Heat in Phoenix over Mayor Phil Gordon’s Security Detail
Did Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon misuse his taxpayer-funded security detail to further his romantic relationship with his former chief campaign fundraiser? That is one of the things that Judicial Watch is trying to find out through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which is now before the Superior Court for the State of Arizona (Judicial Watch, Inc. v City of Phoenix (Civil Action CV2010-015452)). The case is heating up.
The Court set an evidentiary hearing for September, and this week we filed a new memorandum with the Court. The City of Phoenix continues to improperly withhold activity logs related to Mayor Gordon’s security detail, as well as a detailed version of the Mayor’s calendar, citing supposed privacy and safety concerns.
You can read all about this lawsuit on Judicial Watch’s website, including court filings, by clicking here. But let me give you a quick summary of the history.
On December 11, 2009, Judicial Watch requested that the Phoenix Police Department provide access to the following public records:

All activity logs for Mayor Phil Gordon’s Security Detail. The time frame for this request is December 30, 2007 to the present.
…disclosure of the requested logs will help the public to appreciate the size, scope, and duties of the Mayor’s police detail and the activities of the officers assigned to it, including whether the detail has been used for official purposes only or if it also has been used for non-official or personal purposes as well,” Judicial Watch noted in its complaint, filed on May 17, 2010.

In a letter dated January 4, 2010, the City of Phoenix refused to produce the requested records, specifically stating “the City is not disclosing daily logs…” (The City had previously refused to release these same documents to The Arizona Republic newspaper as well.) Instead, the City offered to release the Mayor’s publicly available calendar from August 2009 to the present, which was obviously an inadequate response to our request.
We filed a lawsuit. That’s when things got even more interesting.
During the course of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, the City of Phoenix disclosed for the first time in a court document that it is in possession of a version of the Mayor’s “public calendar” that is much more than just a calendar. This other version of the calendar actually contains detailed handwritten notes by members of Mayor Gordon’s security detail that might just provide Judicial Watch with the information we’re seeking. (Importantly, the City never mentioned this calendar in its January 4 letter denying our request.)
Nonetheless, the City continues to withhold this version of the calendar, as well as the Mayor’s activity logs described by the City as “Unscheduled Worksheets,” citing alleged privacy and security concerns.
In our memorandum filed this week we state that the City has “failed to establish a proper basis to withhold the requested records.” The records at issue are public records, not private, and are therefore subject to disclosure under Arizona Public Records Law.
Moreover, regarding security concerns, the City has failed to “demonstrate why disclosure of records of past activity is significant when many of the Mayor’s planned locations are announced in advance, sometimes even ‘tweeted’ to any interested party.”
The Court has already turned back the City’s efforts to dismiss the lawsuit and has set an evidentiary hearing for September 27, 2010, which may include live witness testimony.
It certainly appears to me that the City is grasping at straws, trying to explain why these public records should be withheld. This is a simple request for documents that should be readily available to the public. Judicial Watch has done thousands of open records requests, and I can tell you that the City of Phoenix’s response to our simple request has been notable for its histrionics. The question is why is the City going to such extreme lengths to keep these records secret? What is Mayor Gordon trying so desperately to hide?
Well, it is our belief that these records could, among other things, shed light on possible misuse of taxpayer resources to further a personal relationship between Mayor Gordon and his former chief campaign fundraiser Elissa Mullaney. Gordon admitted in December 2009 to a romantic relationship with Mullaney. (Both Gordon and Mullaney are married but separated from their spouses.) Press reports have suggested that Gordon’s security detail was used to transport Mullaney at taxpayer expense, which could be in violation of the law.
(Bloggers at The Phoenix NewTimes have done some excellent and detailed reporting on the Gordon/Mullaney controversy. You can read their coverage of our new court filing here and then surf through the site for their other reports.)
As the NewTimes has reported, since 2005 Mullaney’s company has also received more than $340,000 in fees to raise funds for Gordon’s campaigns and to work on other City initiatives. Mullaney received $200,000 of these funds after she and Gordon initiated their relationship. Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Thomas A. Zlaket, hired by Gordon to review the matter, unsurprisingly cleared the man who hired him of any wrongdoing in this specific instance, noting the state’s conflict of interest law does not cover girlfriends, only family members. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Mayor’s ethics, is it?
I’ll be sure to let you know how this lawsuit develops.
Until next week…

From a very wise friend of mine…

And, now we see the beginning of the end of another part of American Jurisprudence, that being the application of Constitutional Law, American Constitutional Law, to the resolution of American Law Cases!  New “commie” Supreme Court Justice, Sotomayor, is already “challenging” Chief Justice Roberts, as to the efficacy of applying “Foreign Law” to the Court’s Reasoning and Debate on issues concerning contests of American Law!  She obviously believes, that “we” have a lot to learn from other Legal Systems, that can immediately and directly be applied to solving issues of conflict concerning our Constitution!
I must now digress to what I wrote several years ago, when the United States Supreme Court set a very dangerous precedent in its ruling concerning the Juvenile Death Penalty.  And, that case set the stage for comrade Sotomayor to launch her anti-United States Constitutional invective, in which she would favor “foreign” law, over our Constitution, in deciding issues before The Court!  Here is a synopsis of what happened in that Juvenile Death Penalty Case:  In deciding that issue, The Court did not give primary consideration to The Constitution, but deferred to “World Opinion”, and “Emerging Societal Mores!”  The Supreme Court has a reference, and only one reference, in deciding issues of conflicted or contested United States Law, and that is the source of all of that United States Law, the Constitution of the United States, which is universally considered to be “The Law of the Land”, this land, The United States of America!  All issue of conflict of our law can, and should be resolved, by the careful study, and application of Constitutional Standards and Tests; our Constitution, our standards, and our tests!  She would have the French, Spanish, Indian, who knows who’s law applied to resolving our legal issues!
I said, when I wrote about that dangerous precedent, that it would come back to hurt us, and Sotomayor is the one to reintroduce that dangerous precedent.  I gave, at the time, what I believe to be a very clear illustration of my concept of a theoretical application of that dangerous precedent to the destruction of the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the Right to Keep and to Bear Arms!  Remember, “World Opinion” was officially “accepted” by The Court, when it rendered its decision, Justice Scalia wrote in dissent, saying essentially what I have said, that being that although it might be “nice to know”, neither world opinion, or emerging societal mores, were valid in deciding cases before The Court, only the Constitution should be the standard!
Okay, The United Nations is anti-Second Amendment, and it wants the Citizens of the United States to be disarmed, and the Second Amendment destroyed!  Former Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, effectively told them that our Second Amendment was not, and would never be, an “item” on the UN’s Disarmament Agenda, and it was [temporarily] abandoned!  With the Juvenile Death Penalty Case Decision, the Supreme Court effectively said that “World Opinion” could influence its decisions!  Follow me here: the United Nations consists of a membership including 190 nations, most of which are anti-USA, and therefore anti-Constitution, and anti-Second Amendment, that is most of the nations of the world.  Considering the precedent, the United Nation’s, due to its extensive membership, represents “World Opinion”, does it not?  The stage has been set for a “liberal” Court to apply that reasoning, and effectively rescind the Second Amendment in deference to “World Opinion!”  Yes, a very dangerous precedent has been set, and Sotomayor smells blood in the water, our blood!

Respect the Office?   Yes.
Respect the Man in the Office?   No, I am sorry to say.
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.  Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and word smith and pray for him, BUT that is it.  I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President !

Why am I doing this ?  It is because:
- I do not share Obama’s vision or value system for America ;
- I do not share his abortion beliefs;
- I do not share his radical Marxist’s concept of re-distributing wealth;

- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
- I do not share his view that America is arrogant;
- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian nation;
- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American citizens who need help;
- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy, who should give up any land;
- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);
- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;
- I do not share his strategic views of the Middle East ; and
- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran ..
Bottom line:  My America is vastly different from Obama’s and I have a higher obligation to my country and my GOD to do what is right !

For eight(8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs !

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant !
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years !
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country !
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society !
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code !
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms: the right of free speech !

Unite behind Obama?   Never ! ! !
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of evil!  PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him.  However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America and I will honor the concept;  however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his “goals for America”.  I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country ! !  Any more compromise is more defeat !

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist, anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !

You will simply not believe this.  Our 8th District US Congressional representative, the Hon. Gabrielle Giffords, in a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee, asked General David Petraeus the following question:”General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war on terror?” Wow.  I had to read, and re-read this several times to believe it. Folks, there are American sons and daughters dying every week on the foreign battlefields of southwest Asia . The nation is completely bankrupt and … quite literally, borrowing 43 cents for every dollar in federal spending.  We have the largest environmental disaster in the nation’s history in the Gulf of Mexico , and we have Mexican drug armies invading our nation.  And yet ….A member of Congress from Arizona ’s 8th congressional district took the time to ask our battlefield commander what he is doing to curb carbon emissions in the war. Gabrielle Giffords is the poster-child for what is wrong with the US Congress. We are being led by imbeciles. To the rest of America reading this blog, and to Gen. Petraeus if this e-mail makes it to your inbox … my sincerest apologies for the stupid question asked of you by my US congressional representative. General … I am sure you have better things to worry about than carbon emissions on the battlefield.  I assure you, as a registered voter in Arizona ’s 8th congressional district, I will do everything I can to ensure Rep. Giffords is voted out of office in November, and I pray you’ll get back to business of fighting the war on terror without worrying about such petty and nonsensical matters as your carbon footprint in the war.

FYI:  The 8th District surrounds Tucson to the north, south and east ( Tucson is in the 7th District) and covers the south-east corner of AZ.

What Google says about Rep. Giffords:

Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) took Afghan Commander, General David Petraeus, to task for what she characterized as “willful disregard of the environmental impact of our war effort.” “There is no policy, no plan to minimize carbon emissions in our military activities,” Giffords charged. “Bombs are dropped and bullets are fired without considering the environmental impact.” Giffords insisted that she was “not demanding an immediate halt to current military operations in the Middle East . I’m just saying that battle plans should include an environmental impact assessment as a regular part of the process before attacks are launched.”

She also suggested that the Army “put more emphasis on less environmentally damaging methods, like stabbing or clubbing enemy forces in order to minimize the carbon output.”

OBAMA TO HOST RAMADAN MEAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON US TAXPAYERS DINE!!!

OBAMA refuses to let any religious event to take place on State or Federal Grounds and property.  He wants it off of our money, out of our pledge of allegiance, no praying out loud, no mention of Gods name etc., etc., etc.,

Then this no good Son of a Pelosi has the nerve to invite these lying, murdering terrorist into our white house to celebrate what???????  He says Justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.  Yes, he said that in a statement last Wednesday.

I guess they may be saying that but one of the three most important points of the Muslim religion is that they must lie and will be forgiving as long as it is used to overcome the infidels.  That is all of us non-Muslims.  What he is saying in a total lie but he is forgiven by Allah because he is a Muslim
.

Please write to your senators and congressmen that until Judaism and Christianity, et al. can be celebrated in the White House and other federal establishments certain Muslims who are killing our men overseas should not be in the White House.  And they should not be allowed to build a Mosque near Ground Zero.  He can kiss Muslim asses but he can’t tolerate Jews and Christians.

Please the event is to take place on Sept 10, and to run into the early morning of the 11th so Obama and his Muslim friends can toast to the success of the killing of almost 3,000 people at Ground Zero

Write to your representative and get them to cancel this.  I don’t want my tax money going to a bunch of murders who have not respect for anyone, and only use easy people like Obama to spit in our countries face.

Yes, I am pissed,

Tony
