A cry in the comming darkness

2009-03-11T18:33:00.004-05:00

'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?
'Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the E Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem. The speech was sponsored by the Hudson Institute on September 25.

Dear friends,Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.
We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam.
To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world.. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figure less tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners.
The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.
Clearly, the signal is: we rule.Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils.
In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system.. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II.
French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel.
I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.
San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now.
Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that.
The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.
The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey. Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots.
Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus.
I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies, they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.,.
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem.
But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good... If it is bad for Islam, it is bad. Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology...
It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia..
If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.
The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times.
I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense. This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way.
The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.
Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values.
On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination.
If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'.
In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.
Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.
With an Islamic Europe, ;it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish.
My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.
Future generations would never forgive us.
We cannot squander our liberties.. We simply do not have the right to do so.

Daddy Poem

2008-11-20T20:23:00.002-06:00

Daddys Poem
something I found and wanted to pass on, it is very sad but also very true for many folks today.

Her hair was up in a pony tail,her favorite dress tied with a bow.

Today was Daddy's Day at school,and she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,that she probably should stay home,Why the kids might not understand,if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;she knew just what to say.

What to tell her classmatesof why he wasn't there today

But still her mother worried,for her to face this day alone.

And that was why once again,she tried to keep her daughter home..

But the little girl went to schooleager to tell them all.

About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.

There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet.

Children squirming impatiently,anxious in their seats

One by one the teacher calleda student from the class.

To introduce their daddy,as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,every child turned to stare.

Each of them was searching,a man who wasn't there.

'Where's her daddy at?'She heard a boy call out.

'She probably doesn't have one,'another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,she heard a daddy say,

'Looks like another deadbeat dad,too busy to waste his day.

'The words did not offend her,as she smiled up at her Mom.

And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on.

And with hands behind her back,slowly she began to speak.

And out from the mouth of a child,came words incredibly unique

'My Daddy couldn't be here,because he lives so far away

But I know he wishes he could be,since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him,I wanted you to know.

All about my daddy,and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike

He surprised me with pink roses,and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,and ice cream in a cone.

And though you cannot see him.I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's always with me,even though we are apartI know because he told me,

he'll forever be in my heart

'With that, her little hand reached up,and lay across her chest.

Feeling her own heartbeat,beneath her favorite dress.

And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.

Proudly watching her daughter,who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life.

Doing what was best for her,doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.

She finished with a voice so soft,but its message clear and loud.

'I love my daddy very much,he's my shining star.

And if he could, he'd be here,but heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Marineand died just this past year

When a roadside bomb hit his convoy and taught Americans to fear

But sometimes when I close my eyes,it's like he never went away

'And then she closed her eyes,and saw him there that day.

And to her mother's amazement,she witnessed with surprise.

A room full of daddies and children,all starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside.

Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy, 'to the silence she called out.

And what happened next made believers,of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed.

But there on the desk beside her,was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining star.

And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person that sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.

Take the time...to live and love.

Until eternity.God bless

Truth about the Alaskan Pipe Line

2008-07-10T19:35:00.007-05:00

We have all heard, How pristine the North slope of Alaska is and how the drilling of oil will harm the native creatures of that area. It is a ugly Lie, all of it, the pipe line did not harm the Caribou, there are more caribou there than ever before, and it did not cause the bears to leave the area. Enjoy the pictures of the Alaskan pipe line and oil rigs, and look at how they have Harmed the animals.

Republican Fisherman

2008-03-07T18:11:00.002-06:00

Republican Fisherman :
A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."
The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem.
You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

If Elected, will you follow the restraints placed on the Federal Government by the Constitution, and reduce the size of the Government to that as outlined in the Constitution, and there by reduce the National budget by at least 75 %, or will you support Un-Constitutional Growth of the Federal Government and the slow and steady destruction of this Great Nation. If there is ant doubt in your mind as to the restraints Placed on the Federal Government, just read Article 1 section 8, I also recommend reading Federalist papers 43 thru 48, as they out line very well the limits on the Federal vs. State powers. I am one American that is getting very tired of the Federal Government's abuse of the powers given to it by the people, and like my ancestors did at Saratoga, Lexington, Yorktown and Valley Forge, I will stand up for my Liberty, and not go silently in to the night, but fight with what ever means are needed to insure this Nation does not fall to Socialists, and traitors from with in.

Immigration Solution

2008-02-11T15:07:00.000-06:00

Immigration Solution

On Relevant 'Logic' . . Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately; illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida .

Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.

+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.

+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

On singing OUR National Anthem in Spanish

I'm sorry, but after hearing they want to sing OUR National Anthem in Spanish - enough is Too much!

NEVER did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish-Celtic, German, Portuguese, Greek, French, or any other language because of immigration.

It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written.

The news broadcasts gave a translation that's NOT even close.

Sorry if this offends anyone, THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

Do YOU - sing MY National Anthem in YOUR COUNTRY IN ENGLISH ? ? ?

And, because I make this statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!!!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY.

Welcome to come through like everyone else has.

Get a sponsor !
Get a place to lay your head !
Get a job !
Live by OUR rules !
Pay YOUR taxes !

And LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!!
AND PLEASE DON'T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO MAKE UP FOR ''YOUR'' LOSSES.

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards not to offend anyone.
But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN that's being offended!
WAKE UP America!!!

If you agree - pass this on...

The Wisdom of Wine

2008-02-06T20:45:00.000-06:00

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine...or any alcohol for that matter.

As Ben Franklin said In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health. Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I'm doing it as a public service.

Social Security; A little history reminder

2008-01-16T17:24:00.000-06:00

Social SecurityYour Social Security

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat of Republican.

Facts are Facts!!!

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees Would never be taxed as income.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are Now receiving a Social Security check every month -- And then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of The money we paid to the Federal government to "put Away" -- you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, Began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, Even though they never paid a dime into it!
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will Evolve.
Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.-Thomas Jefferson

Have a Happy New Year anyway.

Media Lies again

2008-01-05T17:54:00.000-06:00

Outrage Of The Week: Rapid Fire Mis-Reporting

Friday, January 04, 2008

This week’s outrage comes from an Associated Press article (http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/14941809/detail.html), specifically a quote by Miami Police spokesman Will Moreno.

The article reports on the fact that, for the 2007 calendar year, Chicago and New York City closed out the year with “the lowest number of homicides in more than 40 years,” while several other major cities (including Miami) have seen killings go up because of “a surge in guns and gang violence.”

According to the reporter, in Miami authorities have said that “the proliferation of assault weapons” is responsible for an increase in killings over the last three years. The article then quotes Moreno as saying, “You just pull a trigger and 20 or 30 rounds come in a second and in those 20 rounds you’re sure to hit your intended target and some innocent bystanders, totally unlike a firearm that is just one bullet every time you pull the trigger.”

Not only is the premise that a “proliferation of assault weapons” is responsible for an increase in the city’s homicide rate inaccurate and absurd, the message the article conveys is irresponsible and just plain wrong. In his quote, the police spokesman can only be referring to fully automatic “machine guns,” (though that premise is also misleading, as even a fully automatic, military issue M16 cannot fire 20-30 bullets per second), which are highly regulated, unlawful to manufacture or import, and whose use in violent crimes is virtually unheard of. Neither machine guns nor semi-automatic “assault weapons” are “proliferating”, and these inanimate objects are not responsible for the increase in homicides. The article, as well as Moreno, is manipulatively and erroneously trying to link exaggerated attributes of “machine guns” to semi-automatic “assault weapons.”

As we plod through the third decade of the threadbare “assault weapons” debate, one would reasonably expect that the media and a police mouthpiece would, by now, know the difference between a semi-automatic firearm and a machine gun, and that they would have the integrity to report objectively and honestly on all firearms issues.

Well, they either still do not know the difference, or worse, they know but are trying to deceive the public, and advance their anti-gun agenda. In either case, that’s outrageous.

rules of the west

2007-12-31T10:45:00.001-06:00

Rules of the Wild West are as follows:

1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight: it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how
slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it?
I-80 goes east and west, I-15 goes north and south. Pick one.

5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. Every person in the Wild West waves.
It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ ducks/doves are comin' in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That's applied to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in
Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!

13. You bring "Coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -it spooks the fish.

16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities , Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta
there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays.

17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines than all of you put together, so don't mess with us.
If you do, you'll get whipped by the best.

18. Turn down that blasted car stereo!
That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

A true Westerner will send this to at
least 10 others

Common Sense By Thomas Pain

2007-12-02T18:34:00.000-06:00

Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others.
In order to gain a clear and just idea of the design and end of government, let us suppose a small number of persons settled in some sequestered part of the earth, unconnected with the rest; they will then represent the first peopling of any country, or of the world. In this state of natural liberty, society will be their first thought. A thousand motives will excite them thereto; the strength of one man is so unequal to his wants, and his mind so unfitted for perpetual solitude, that he is soon obliged to seek assistance and relief of another, who in his turn requires the same. Four or five united would be able to raise a tolerable dwelling in the midst of a wilderness, but one man might labour out the common period of life without accomplishing any thing; when he had felled his timber he could not remove it, nor erect it after it was removed; hunger in the mean time would urge him to quit his work, and every different want would call him a different way. Disease, nay even misfortune, would be death; for, though neither might be mortal, yet either would disable him from living, and reduce him to a state in which he might rather be said to perish than to die.
Thus necessity, like a gravitating power, would soon form our newly arrived emigrants into society, the reciprocal blessings of which would supersede, and render the obligations of law and government unnecessary while they remained perfectly just to each other; but as nothing but Heaven is impregnable to vice, it will unavoidably happen that in proportion as they surmount the first difficulties of emigration, which bound them together in a common cause, they will begin to relax in their duty and attachment to each other: and this remissness will point out the necessity of establishing some form of government to supply the defect of moral virtue.
Some convenient tree will afford them a State House, under the branches of which the whole Colony may assemble to deliberate on public matters. It is more than probable that their first laws will have the title only of Regulations and be enforced by no other penalty than public disesteem. In this first parliament every man by natural right will have a seat.
But as the Colony encreases, the public concerns will encrease likewise, and the distance at which the members may be separated, will render it too inconvenient for all of them to meet on every occasion as at first, when their number was small, their habitations near, and the public concerns few and trifling. This will point out the convenience of their consenting to leave the legislative part to be managed by a select number chosen from the whole body, who are supposed to have the same concerns at stake which those have who appointed them, and who will act in the same manner as the whole body would act were they present. If the colony continue encreasing, it will become necessary to augment the number of representatives, and that the interest of every part of the colony may be attended to, it will be found best to divide the whole into convenient parts, each part sending its proper number: and that the ELECTED might never form to themselves an interest separate from the ELECTORS, prudence will point out the propriety of having elections often: because as the ELECTED might by that means return and mix again with the general body of the ELECTORS in a few months, their fidelity to the public will be secured by the prudent reflection of not making a rod for themselves. And as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other, and on this, (not on the unmeaning name of king,) depends the STRENGTH OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE HAPPINESS OF THE GOVERNED.
Here then is the origin and rise of government; namely, a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral virtue to govern the world; here too is the design and end of government, viz. Freedom and security. And however our eyes may be dazzled with show, or our ears deceived by sound; however prejudice may warp our wills, or interest darken our understanding, the simple voice of nature and reason will say, 'tis right.
I draw my idea of the form of government from a principle in nature which no art can overturn, viz. that the more simple any thing is, the less liable it is to be disordered, and the easier repaired when disordered; and with this maxim in view I offer a few remarks on the so much boasted constitution of England. That it was noble for the dark and slavish times in which it was erected, is granted. When the world was overrun with tyranny the least remove therefrom was a glorious rescue. But that it is imperfect, subject to convulsions, and incapable of producing what it seems to promise is easily demonstrated.
Absolute governments, (tho' the disgrace of human nature) have this advantage with them, they are simple; if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs; know likewise the remedy; and are not bewildered by a variety of causes and cures. But the constitution of England is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine.
I know it is difficult to get over local or long standing prejudices, yet if we will suffer ourselves to examine the component parts of the English Constitution, we shall find them to be the base remains of two ancient tyrannies, compounded with some new Republican materials.
First. — The remains of Monarchical tyranny in the person of the King.
Secondly. — The remains of Aristocratical tyranny in the persons of the Peers.
Thirdly. — The new Republican materials, in the persons of the Commons, on whose virtue depends the freedom of England.
The two first, by being hereditary, are independent of the People; wherefore in a CONSTITUTIONAL SENSE they contribute nothing towards the freedom of the State.
To say that the constitution of England is an UNION of three powers, reciprocally CHECKING each other, is farcical; either the words have no meaning, or they are flat contradictions.
First. — That the King it not to be trusted without being looked after; or in other words, that a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of monarchy.
Secondly. — That the Commons, by being appointed for that purpose, are either wiser or more worthy of confidence than the Crown.
But as the same constitution which gives the Commons a power to check the King by withholding the supplies, gives afterwards the King a power to check the Commons, by empowering him to reject their other bills; it again supposes that the King is wiser than those whom it has already supposed to be wiser than him. A mere absurdity!
There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of Monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required. The state of a king shuts him from the World, yet the business of a king requires him to know it thoroughly; wherefore the different parts, by unnaturally opposing and destroying each other, prove the whole character to be absurd and useless.
Some writers have explained the English constitution thus: the King, say they, is one, the people another; the Peers are a house in behalf of the King, the commons in behalf of the people; but this hath all the distinctions of a house divided against itself; and though the expressions be pleasantly arranged, yet when examined they appear idle and ambiguous; and it will always happen, that the nicest construction that words are capable of, when applied to the description of something which either cannot exist, or is too incomprehensible to be within the compass of description, will be words of sound only, and though they may amuse the ear, they cannot inform the mind: for this explanation includes a previous question, viz. HOW CAME THE KING BY A POWER WHICH THE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TRUST, AND ALWAYS OBLIGED TO CHECK? Such a power could not be the gift of a wise people, neither can any power, WHICH NEEDS CHECKING, be from God; yet the provision which the constitution makes supposes such a power to exist.
But the provision is unequal to the task; the means either cannot or will not accomplish the end, and the whole affair is a Felo de se: for as the greater weight will always carry up the less, and as all the wheels of a machine are put in motion by one, it only remains to know which power in the constitution has the most weight, for that will govern: and tho' the others, or a part of them, may clog, or, as the phrase is, check the rapidity of its motion, yet so long as they cannot stop it, their endeavours will be ineffectual: The first moving power will at last have its way, and what it wants in speed is supplied by time.
That the crown is this overbearing part in the English constitution needs not be mentioned, and that it derives its whole consequence merely from being the giver of places and pensions is self-evident; wherefore, though we have been wise enough to shut and lock a door against absolute Monarchy, we at the same time have been foolish enough to put the Crown in possession of the key.
The prejudice of Englishmen, in favour of their own government, by King, Lords and Commons, arises as much or more from national pride than reason. Individuals are undoubtedly safer in England than in some other countries: but the will of the king is as much the law of the land in Britain as in France, with this difference, that instead of proceeding directly from his mouth, it is handed to the people under the formidable shape of an act of parliament. For the fate of Charles the First hath only made kings more subtle — not more just.
Wherefore, laying aside all national pride and prejudice in favour of modes and forms, the plain truth is that IT IS WHOLLY OWING TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE PEOPLE, AND NOT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GOVERNMENT that the crown is not as oppressive in England as in Turkey.
An inquiry into the CONSTITUTIONAL ERRORS in the English form of government, is at this time highly necessary; for as we are never in a proper condition of doing justice to others, while we continue under the influence of some leading partiality, so neither are we capable of doing it to ourselves while we remain fettered by any obstinate prejudice. And as a man who is attached to a prostitute is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one.

Catch and Release

2007-10-09T20:33:00.000-05:00

The following commentary from Wayne LaPierre's blog, "What They Didn't Tell You Today," You can access the site at http://www.nranews.com/,
October 08, 2007
Catch and Release For months and months now, the Philly politicians have been screaming that they need more gun-control laws. And for months and months, I've been saying they just need to get smart about dealing with crime. Arrests are made in only one-third of murders in Philadelphia, and only half of all rapes. And when Philly police do get a bad guy, the justice system lets him out the door with a slap on the wrist. If the criminal is a juvenile, it's even worse. Rather than doing jail time, these young offenders might have their candy bars taken away.That's not a joke. That's the truth, as reported by the Philadelphia Daily News. Two teens in a city-run facility, a 17-year-old in for illegally possessing a firearm and an 18-year-old with 13 arrests to his name, assault two counselors at the Youth Study Center. Their punishment? They lost all "points," good behavior credits that can be used to buy candy, soft drinks and toiletries. Big deal. Two days later, the 17-year-old was back on the streets and able to buy whatever he wanted.To make matters worse, one counselor even lost his job for daring to defend himself by throwing a walkie-talkie at one of the violent teens. And just weeks after this assault took place, the 17-year-old went before a judge on the illegal possession charge. He received probation, but even that was too strict. He cut off his electronic monitoring anklet and is now another wanted man... another "success" story from the Philadelphia legal system.So what do you think? Do you think another gun-control law is going to make a difference when people like this are allowed to get away with their crimes? I wish the local politicians in Philly had the guts to be honest with residents, but since they don't, I will. You want to see the crime rate drop in Philly? Tell the mayor and the city council members to quit treating criminals like they're fish. Catch-and-release is fine when you're an angler, but it's bad news for the cops on the beat. Give them the tools they need to make sure that when a bad guy gets caught, he goes away.

An Attack on the 1st Amendment

2007-10-08T21:36:00.001-05:00

What is going on here, We now have a member of Congress getting ready to spend a lot of tax payer’s money, to investigate a group of private citizens and stop the 1st amendment in its tracks. Are we turning into the police state George Orwell warned us about in his book 1984? This Congressman is the head of the House oversight committee, the oversight is supposed to be on Government agencies and personnel not, private citizens. This does not bother Congressman Waxman in the least, he does not believe a person has the right to go on public radio and tell the citizens of the U.S. about the excesses of the U.S. Government, and the Constitution be damned, the Congressman wants to shut them up. But he has no problem with leftist people on the radio, talking about killing a sitting President, where is this country going? Please call and / or e-mail your Congressman and Senators and demand the person in question be removed from his seat in Congress for the actions he is taking, because his actions are in direct disregard of the Constitution and Illegal as hell! The phone number to the Capital switch board is 202-224-3121, or you can E-mail your Senators and Congressman by going to Congress.org Pass this on and give the idiots on Capital Hill a reminder, We the People, run this country,,,,,,NOT THEM. They are to represent us, not their individual wish’s.

The Ghost from Valley Forge

2007-10-02T09:24:00.000-05:00

The Ghost From Valley Forge
I had a dream the other night I didn't understand,A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed,He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low he said:
"We fought a revolution to secure our liberty,We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave,In this, the land of the free and home of the brave.
The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep, But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep.Your freedom gone—your courage lost—you're no more than a slave,In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent,Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent.
Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate,Your moral values can't be taught, according to the state.You read about the current "news" in a very biased press,You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the IRS.
Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold,You trade your wealth for paper, so life can be controlled.You pay for crimes that make our Nation turn from God to shame,You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name.
You've given government control to those who do you harm,So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm.And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,Harass your fellow countryman while corrupted courts prevail.
Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they're sworn,Your daughters visit doctors so children won't be born.Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars.
Can you regain your Freedom for which we fought and died?Or don't you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride?Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?
Sons of the Republic, arise and take a stand!Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!Preserve our Republic, and each God-given right!And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!"
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came,His words were true, we are not free, and we have ourselves to blame.For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right,We only watch and tremble—too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you're asleep,And wonder what remains of your right he fought to keep.What would be your answer if he called out from the grave?Is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?

Remembering Brady II

Back in the bad old days of the Clinton administration, when the gun-control crowd was riding high, Handgun Control Inc. pushed a piece of legislation called "Brady II." My friend David Kopel has published a reminder of that piece of legislation. Among the things the gun-control crowd was calling for:

-A special license for people who own more than 20 firearms or more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition. This "license" would have allowed the government to come into your home unannounced for an inspection up to three times per year
-Licensing for all gun owners nationwide. This licensing would be discretionary in nature, meaning the state could deny you a license for almost any reason [And]
-A 30% increase in taxes on handguns, and a 50% increase in taxes on ammunition

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I remember when this bill was introduced. Luckily, it never got a hearing, because elections were held a few weeks after its introduction and the Republicans took back control of Congress.

But here we are in 2007. Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are the leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. None of those politicians has ever been a friend to gun owners. And remember, this bill was introduced by the Brady Campaign just 13 years ago. Do you think their agenda has changed at all?

This is what's at stake in 2008. This is why gun owners have to get involved. The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines.

Letter to the editor

2007-09-27T17:37:00.000-05:00

ORANGE COUNTY ( CALIFORNIA ) NEWSPAPER This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady made the argument pretty simple. NOT printed in the Orange County Paper................... Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which does not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help it will get published via cyberspace! New ImmigrantsFrom: "David LaBonte" My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined.Dave LaBonte (signed)Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register: Dear Editor: So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home. They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people. When we liberated France , no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl. And here we are in 2006 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags. And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet. (signed) Rosemary LaBonteP. S. Pass this on to everyone you know!!! KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING!!I hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!! Ever onward!! MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA

July 4, 2007 - Wednesday

11 Score and 11 years ago......
Eleven Score and Eleven years ago, our forefathers signed a list of grievances against the King of England, with 1 minor change, here are 11 grievances from the original Declaration of Independence are valid in to days world. here is the list;

From The Declaration of Independence, Adopted in Congress, 4 July, 1776

1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
3. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
4. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
6. For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
7. For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
8. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
9. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
10. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the [Mexicans] whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
11. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

We the People need to speak up and return this Country to it's proper path, the Federal Government has taken over powers given to the states, and has become as bad if not worse than the Government we over threw all those years ago
