The 17th Amendment – Saving Our Constitutional Republic

February 21st, 2012

William J. Dell
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

So How Come Missouri Has NO ILLEGALS?

February 21st, 2012

Read the answer. Isn’t it funny how simple answers are available for just about everything… Missouri has no illegals, go figure… Missouri’s approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in Arizona. Do the loonies in San Francisco, or the White House, appreciate what Missouri has done? When are our fearless President and his dynamic Attorney General going to take action to require Missouri start accepting illegal immigrants once again?

So, why doesn’t Missouri receive attention? Answer: There are no Mexican illegals in Missouri to demonstrate. The “Show Me” state has once again shown us how it should be done. There needs to be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri has done.

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri. In November, 2008, nearly 90% voted in favor! Thus, English became the official language for ALL governmental activity in Missouri . No individual has the right to demand government services in a language OTHER than English.

In 2008, a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri illegally. Missouri law enforcement officers receive specific training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

In Missouri, illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayers benefits such as food stamps and health care through Missouri Health NET. In 2009, a measure was passed that ensures Missouri ‘s public institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the United States. In Missouri, all post-secondary institutions of higher education are required to annually certify to the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the United States.

So, while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to remember, Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific problem – but on a gradual basis. Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in the state and they will certainly NOT receive public benefits (that’s social benefits) at the expense of Missouri taxpayers.

Government & Society

February 16th, 2012

By Matt Patterson (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Washington Post on Obama. It is amazing that the Washington Post would actually print this about Obama.

Note: This is a rather unusual piece to find in the Washington Post. No intent here to be ‘political’ but the president’s climb to the White House certainly smacks of being highly engineered. In addition to those fearful of being called racists and those who have always been for the racial underdog, such are the comments from our air-head folks, that Obama was ‘cool’ as their reason for voting for him. Mike

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job?

Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and

What the Hell Happened to OUR Country While We Were Gone?

February 16th, 2012

Sgt. Mad Dog Tracy

Note: Flight home from Afghanistan. I guess the TSA is here to stay. This is precisely what happens when you provide totally ignorant people with a little bit of either power or authority!

As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan , I witnessed the following:

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan , We flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards. Our first stop was Shannon , Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis , Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana National Guard. That’s where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane – even though the plane wasn’t refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let
