Open Letter to Rick Santorum

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

It was William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, who said, “A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good may come of it.”

Your conduct during the Michigan Primary was despicable. If you cannot win the nomination on your own merits within the Republican camp, you have no right to enter the enemies camp to achieve your goal. As a Republican you are only free to court Democratic votes during the General election.

This dishonesty shows a flaw in your character which has erased the points you were gaining (more…)

Not Yours To Give

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

In the early 1800′s Congress was considering a bill to appropriate tax dollars for the widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in support of this bill. It seemed that everyone in the House favored it. The Speaker of the House was just about to put the question to a vote, when Davy Crockett, famous frontiersman and then Congressman from Tennessee, rose to his feet.

“Mr. Speaker, I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money (more…)

The Right to Sit at a Desk

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom.

When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.

‘Ms. Cothren, where’re our desks?’

She replied, ‘You can’t have a desk until you tell me (more…)

Cost to Operate a Chevy Volt

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Eric Bolling (Fox Business Channel’s Follow the Money) test drove the Chevy Volt at the invitation of General Motors.

For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine.

Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the battery. So, the range including the 9 gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh battery is approximately (more…)

Evaluating Our Candidates – Saving Our Constitutional Republic

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

We the People are arguably facing the most important election this November 2012 that we have ever faced in the history of our Constitutional Republic. Perhaps you would consider asking your candidate(s) the following as you evaluate whom you should vote for.

Should you be elected this November to the Congress or the Presidency, you will be required to take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Over the past 100 years, the greatest “domestic enemy” to our Constitutional Republic has been the federal government itself. “To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid” nation:

1. We the People have seen the federal government intrude into the internal affairs of the several sovereign States rather than (more…)

The Obama Fairness Doctrine

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

By Jim Harbison 2/23/12

President Obama in his State of the Union address, his daily press briefings and even an editorial in the Sun-News continues to attack American society and claim it is unfair and therefore it is necessary to impose constraints on individual freedoms in order to implement his concept of fairness.

Who defines “fairness”? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fairness as marked by impartiality and honesty: free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism. www.vocabulary.com defines fairness treating people without prejudice – non-discrimination. www.thefreedictionary.com defines fairness as: Having or exhibiting a disposition that is free of favoritism or bias; impartial: a fair mediator, b. Just to all parties; equitable: a compromise that is fair to both factions.

Where is the “fair mediator” that ensures this fairness? Who is deciding that it is fair to take stuff from one who earns it and give it someone who hasn’t? The dictionary definitions above would label that favoritism not fairness. George Orwell would appreciate the “doublespeak”.

Many Democrats and their Occupy Movement surrogates claim that the 99% are (more…)

AMERICA’S HUNTERS

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

The world’s largest army… America ‘s hunters! I had never thought about this….

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin. Allow me to restate that number: Over the last several months Wisconsin ‘s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. More men under arms than in Iran. More than France and Germany combined. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin , to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan ‘s 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world …. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It’s millions more.

Overall it’s true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don’t possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain, what army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens.

The point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower. Hunting — it’s not just a way to fill the freezer. It’s a matter of national security. That’s why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. Don’t ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns, for the sake of our freedom.

Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

Pretty Amazing!
Have A Great Day!!

SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED ‘FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT’

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a “federal benefit payment”? Our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?

This was sent to me, I am posting it because it does touch a nerve in me. This is another example of what Rick Perry called “TREASON in high places”!

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500.

If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (more…)

MARCH FOR PROTECTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS & RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Communities in Southern New Mexico prepare for a civic non-partisan  march and rally to protect U.S. Constitutional Rights and Religious Freedoms. The rally will be held on March 3rd, 2012 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm at the St. Genevieve’s monument located in downtown Las Cruces.

Participants include faith leaders, community leaders, professionals, students and concerned citizens throughout southern New Mexico who have a vested interest in protecting American civil rights and the integrity of the United States Constitution. Communities are specifically marching in protection of America’s First Amendment rights, which exist to allow everyone the freedom to practice their faith in whatever manner without government intervention. “We believe our Religious Freedoms are currently being threatened by the federal government through (more…)

The 17th Amendment – Saving Our Constitutional Republic

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !

This article, though lengthy, is very important and needs to be understood by every citizen. It is only by repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment that We the People can restore the vertical separation of powers our Founding Fathers placed in our Constitution to prevent the federal government from being too strong and tyrannical.

Our Founding Fathers envisioned our nation as a Union of united States with a limited grant of power by We the People to the federal government. Their vision was that the several States governments would always remain stronger than the federal government. A vision they expressed and granted in Article I of the Constitution and the Tenth Amendment of our Bill of Rights. It was their vision that the federal government would only have power to deal with external issues of the several States. Issues requiring representation of the United States, as a whole, to other nations and issues between the several States, such as, interstate commerce.

The most hotly contested issue of the Constitutional Convention was James Madison’s inclusion in the Virginia Plan that the bicameral Congress be “proportional” based on population rather than each State having only one vote as set forth under the Articles of Confederation. It was so contentious, in fact, that the matter was tabled while all other proposals of the Virginia Plan were debated and decided. The issue for the small States was that they would have no effective voice against the large States who could push through any proposal by reason of their larger representation. The issue for the large States was that they felt that they were entitle to a greater voice because they represented a larger number of citizens.

To deal with this contentious issue, the Connecticut Compromise (more…)
