Self Defense Bill

A gun control group is trying scare tourists away from Florida, where a new self-defense law allows people to shoot anyone who breaks into a home, occupied vehicle, or place of business. The Brady Campaign on Tuesday announced the launch of an ad campaign that tells potential Florida tourists “they face a greater risk of bodily harm within the state of Florida.”

In Michigan, Representative Tom Casperson has introduced similar legislation in Lansing.  Tom needs everyone’s help to see this law is adopted.  It is imperative that everyone writes their Representative, Senator, and the Governor to voice support. 

In a recent press relief several Gin Control Groups have stated that Michigan is their target to see that legislation like this is not passed.  They said they slipped up in Florida and they would not do the same in Michigan.

It is President Bush’s Fault

Consequently, regardless of who is at the national helm when disaster strikes, inevitable bureaucratic bungling will result in big headaches for any leader unlucky enough to inhabit the White House, dashing their Party’s hopes of a leg-up in the next election. Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco’s dithering on a request for federal emergency management assistance, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin’s discombobulated cluelessness in coordinating an evacuation, the Orleans Levee District board’s misplaced priorities in allegedly frittering away millions on casinos while diverting funds from important infrastructure and safety projects (such as the levee) to relatives and cronies -- none of that mattered in the end.  Beverly Eakman, News With Views

The above statement rings true.  While there were obviously problems with the response to Katrina, the problem starts at the State and City level first.  No mater what is said, or who says it, the inability of LA to respond to this tragedy is appalling.

Sierra Club…Environmental Boondoggle Personified

It is a proven fact that in 1996 the Army Corps of Engineers proposed an upgrade of the levee system surrounding New Orleans.  The Corps voiced their desire to supply the expertise to raise the levee’s height and to enable them to withstand a Hurricane of Category 3 or better.  These mechanisms were in place to move forward…but they never materialized.  What happened?  Why wasn’t it acted upon?  Who or what prevented any action at all?

The answer to these questions falls entirely upon the Sierra Club.  The Sierra Club sued the Army Corps of Engineers and stopped any progress that could have made a difference.  The Sierra Club wanted an environment impact study done.  The Army Corps of Engineers simply shelved the idea rather go through the court battle.  Again we have Environment Groups destroying the foundation of human safety for the sake of lesser forms of life.  I would like to be there when a member of the Sierra Club chose a Marsh Bittern over the safety and life of their child, spouse, or family member.  When are we going to become sensible and protect the creature “made in the image of God” Oops, I am sorry…. I can’t say God!!!! 

Our Petitions No Longer are Heard!

Confrontations between men and their governments have never been without anguish or agony. In our system of governance, the Petition is the fine line between peaceful and physical rebellion. Although Petitions may bring painful revelations and result in difficulties, the Right to Petition is the final check and balance that protects the People against the abuses of government – and insures the continuation of our Founding Principles.

That said, a government that restricts or infringes upon the Right to Petition commits a clear and grave error because it diminishes accountability and the full enjoyment of Rights, Freedoms and Liberty.

To outright deny the Right to Petition is to invite physical rebellion..  

Such is the recent decision by federal Judge Emmet Sullivan.
The decision is horrifying in its implications.  

In We The People et al., v. United States, et al., Sullivan, ruled that the government does not have to listen or respond to the People’s Petitions for Redress of Grievances.  

Without the Right to a response, the People do not have the Right to Petition.. Popular Sovereignty thus becomes a quaint anachronism.

In essence, a federal District Court has declared its allegiance with Congress and the Executive, which have repeatedly ignored our Petitions. The decision effectively declares that our government is no longer accountable to We the People and that our servant government is unrestricted and untouchable in its pursuit of activities and agendas that are clearly prohibited by our Constitution.

This is another example of our courts running wild.  Our court system no longer functions for the preservation of and interpretation of law but rather the agenda of politicians, self interest groups, and corporations.  Our Republic is dying!  

UN Wants More Money from the US

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton is quoted in the Washington Post as saying that while the U.S. supports more development assistance to those countries that demonstrate an ability to use aid effectively, “the U.S. does not accept global aid targets or global taxes.” This marks a breakthrough. The paper’s U.N. correspondent, Colum Lynch, has finally noted that the issue of “global taxes” has been on the table at the U.N. He still hasn’t disclosed that the “international community” wants to soak the U.S. for an additional $845 billion.

The campaign is facilitated by the fact that the U.N. Correspondents Association (UNCA), the group of journalists covering the U.N. on a daily basis, enjoys a very cozy relationship with the world body. The relationship is so close that one journalist, The Nation’s U.N. correspondent, has taken money from the world body. One of the members of this association is John Kerry’s relative who spends a lot of time undermining the UN ambassadors appointed by President Bush.  Other reporters are paid by the U.N. to appear on the U.N. “World Chronicle” television program. UNCA’s conferences are subsidized by pro-U.N. organizations funded by billionaire George Soros and Ted Turner, which helps explain why our major media refuse to examine the big money behind the pro-U.N. lobby.

Recently Ted Turner was a guest of David Letterman and prattled for quite a while about the merits of the UN and the neglect of the United States in supporting the World Body.  He complained that the United States did not get permission to invade Iraq.  He was appalled that the USA was not ashamed of that action.  I actually had to get some Pepto Bismal to settle my stomach.  Ted Turner and Ted Kennedy must have stock in Pepto Bismal as their statements certainly bring on an enormous amount of nausea!

Another recent item of mention is that President Bush has endorsed the United Nations Millennium Summit and its goals.  In so doing, President Bush again is side stepping the promises that put him in the White House.  He is succumbing to the World Government Agenda.  At this point I am no longer sure he “ever” was against the World Government Agenda.  George Bush senior was certainly a protagonist of the agenda and apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  Again we as a people are being duped into believing that the mainstream politicians are on our side.
