“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” –First Amendment to the US Constitution.

“In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people’s windows.” From the book 1984 – by George Orwell

The assault on our personal freedoms has accelerated by both parties. A seemingly innocuous bill was passed and signed into law on March 8th by President Obama. HR. 347 titled the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act. This bill was passed by the Republican controlled house by the overwhelming margin of 399 to 3. (The no votes were from Presidential Candidate Ron Paul R-TX, Paul Brown R-GA and Justin Amash R-MI, God bless them). The news of this passage was barely mentioned by the media except for a brief discussion by Judge Andrew Napolitano on the Fox News Channel and Talk Radio.

So why am I so upset about a bill whose stated purpose is to improve Federal Buildings and Grounds?  Its real purpose is to quash peaceful protests. This law is supposed update a previous law: Section 1752 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which restricted areas around the president, vice president, and others under secret service protection.  The change enacted was that federal prosecutors need only to show that protesters “knowingly” entered a protected area that they knew was restricted, even if you didn’t know it was illegal to enter the space.  Under the old law the government had to show that protestors entered the restricted space “willfully and knowingly” enter a restricted space.

Hillary’s Global Gun Ban: Oh yes, it’s real

Article Updated: March 30th

An email from Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has been circulating the internet lately claiming that “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced the Obama Administration will be working hand in glove with the United Nations to pass a new GLOBAL, “Small Arms Treaty.”

According to the letter, this treaty is designed to “register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.” The URGENT battle cry warns gun-loving citizens everywhere that the treaty aims to “confiscate and destroy all ‘unauthorized’ civilian firearms; create an international gun registry, and set the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION (sic).” Lots of **** and, !!!!!!!! and, BIG, SCARY CAPITAL LETTERS were used just in case you dummies in the electorate don’t understand how FRIGGIN’ IMPORTANT THIS IS!!!!****

To be honest, the letter looks a little bit nuts. But what if it’s not? So I started digging, and the internet is awash with controversy over whether this issue is real or some urban myth making yet another round on the world-wide-web. Although strangely I failed to find any mention of this important issue on Senator Paul’s website, I did find a veritable treasure-trove of information directly from the United Nations, which seems to be very proud of their achievements toward total control of the world’s weapons cache’.

So without further adieu, here it is, straight from the source: READ MORE »

What Does Your Child Know About Thomas Jefferson?

Thomas Jefferson

“What exactly do you know about Thomas Jefferson?” That simple question started me on a quest. It was the summer of 2011, and Congress was in the midst of the debt ceiling debate. I asked that question of my son who had recently completed the 8th grade. We were discussing the debate, and I was amazed by some of the things he did not understand. I began to quiz him about the people and the documents associated with the founding of our country, and my amazement grew further still. I was particularly surprised because he is an avid follower of all things political. He also received history-related awards in the 5th and the 8th grades when the history of our country is a component of the social studies curriculum. His answer to my question? Thomas Jefferson signed the Declaration of Independence, he was the third president, and he owned slaves. Upon further questioning I decided he knew far less about Jefferson than I expected. Later that day I decided to ask my other children what they knew about Jefferson. My middle child, who had just completed the 6th grade, told me that there was no focus on any individual founder when she was in fifth grade. She could have learned about Jefferson if he was the topic of her independent study project for social studies, but she chose to study the Sugar Act instead. She could, however, recite a dearth of extraneous information about Jefferson which she read in book I bought for her about the American Revolution. My youngest child, who had just finished 2nd grade, responded to my question by asking, “Isn’t he the guy with the kite?” READ MORE »

The Constitution and Federalism on the Brink- Why the Supreme Court will decide if our Federal Republic will survive

2012 Leave a Comment Written by Dennis Brady

“If the government can just order you to buy something, and fine you if you don’t, they can order you to do anything,”                                                                 -Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli

The Justices of the US Supreme Court

The US Supreme court this week will hear six hours of argument over three days concerning the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act commonly known as Obamacare. The unprecedented suit against this bill was brought by 26 state attorney generals on behalf of their states. This challenge will be the most important case the Supreme Court has heard in the last 50 years. I predict the outcome of this case will be viewed by historians and many future generations as either a major milestone in destroying the American Republic and its core strength of Federalism or a possible turning point in restoring the power of the constitution.

No One Else Was Hurt. Right?

Mar22
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Martha Trowbridge

When law enforcement and the media report on violent crimes, typical statements include “No one else was hurt.”  “The child was not injured.”  “The hostages escaped unharmed.”

Listening to these declarations, you’d never know that these ‘expert’ professionals are describing traumatic incidents.  You’d never know that the ‘un-hurt’ people had just witnessed a murder, or other violent event, or had been held hostage by gun-wielding lunatics.

You’d never know that by their words, they proclaim to all who are listening that the only persons materially impacted by the violence are those who died.

 Pause and think about it:

By declaring ‘No one else was hurt” officials invalidate the reality of all those adversely affected by violence – namely, all of us.  READ MORE »

Political Liars, Begone!!

Mar21
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Martha Trowbridge

In 2012 America’s Political Universe, a hideous man made creature populates every city and town.

He’s commonly known by his alias – A Duly Sworn Elected Official.

His actual identity? The Political Liar.

At every level of government, all through our hallowed halls, he skulks and swaggers. Purporting to be a Patriot, in public he plays up The Stars And Stripes, while privately fiddling a far different tune.

How does he do it?

He invokes the evil genius of Political Marketing.

With its demonic power, no matter how worthy his opponent, he’s able to win the election.

He even wins re-election!

Instead of being gobbled by higher-order creatures in the political food chain, The Political Liar has gained great ascendancy.

US and Them: America’s real class divide

Mar21
2012 1 Comment Written by Stephanie Maier

Let’s just say it: There are two classes in the United States. There is a 99% (Us) and a 1%, but they’re not the entrepreneurs, corporate CEOs, or even the greedy, self-serving stock market suits on Wall Street. “They” know exactly what they’re doing. They are Republicans and Democrats, men and women, Christians, Jews, and Atheists, Gay, straight, (and some just plain strange), all united under the American flag in a fraud against the American public that is beyond unconscionable. They are Congress.

To “serve” in the United States Congress is to gain membership in the most exclusive club around: not only will you enjoy the perks of the Capitol fitness center, free parking, and your own private staff, you’ll receive the best health care choices available, a generous salary (whether you do your job or not), and fun stock tips from friends in high places (Of course since you’re voting on legislation that may affect the stock market, you’ve already got a leg up on the rest the population anyway—wink wink!) As part of your very exclusive membership, no need to worry about pesky performance reviews from your boss; you’ll be able to vote yourself a raise anytime you like – all part of the fun! And if for some reason you don’t get re-elected, no worries – you’ll still receive that nice pension you have coming, so go ahead and buy that house in the Caymans, you deserve it, Mr. and Mrs. Career Politician!

Lessons from Viva the Cat….

Mar21
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Jane Heller

As I was looking at a picture of a cat that I had rescued, I realized that I was able to draw parallels to human life and the state of the economy all by adopting a cat.  To be honest, I was not really much of a cat person due to my allergies and was actually looking for a dog to help entertain my two labs.  In a twist of fate, the dog that I was going to help rescue turned out not to be available. I was very disappointed and the woman at the shelter said, “Hey what about a cat..we have plenty of those.” I was very hesitant but went into the cat shelter and noticed a bunch of cute little fur balls staring back at me. To be honest, it was very sweet and yet heartbreaking at the same time knowing that the odds of a cat making out of the kill shelter alive were literally only about one in twenty.  I had seen news articles about the problems with overpopulation of animals where it stated right in black and white that the shelters were so overcrowded that that hat to “euthanize” over 35,000 animals. I had heard that there was a total of 50,000 animals in my city alone that were euthanized in one year alone. This figure was not only astronomical but heartbreaking as well. READ MORE »

RIP Andrew Brietbart -The Happy Warrior

2012 Leave a Comment Written by Dennis Brady

When I heard of the passing of Andrew Brietbart I was at first shocked and then very deeply saddened.  Even though I never met the man I felt very connected with him and his passion for journalism. I also saw him as a kindred spirit as someone who in his adulthood coming to embrace the philosophy of constitutional libertarianism from originally being from the mainstream of current political thought he from the left and myself from the right.

He was a pioneer in blogging on political matters and never pulled his punches when it came to his investigating reporting. He loved to show how out of step the main stream media was with the average American citizen as well as how biased and in some cases irrelevant they had become. The Main Stream media in turn lambasted him for telling the truth. Through it all he never lost his sense of humor and his passion. READ MORE »

The Progressive Mask is slipping off. The nudge is becoming a shove!

Feb16
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Dennis Brady

“Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. ”         – Thomas Jefferson

The march toward total emasculation of the US Constitution that the progressives have been working toward is almost completed. Many in the movement are no longer pushing the pretext of respecting the foundation of our government they are openly trashing.

For example, in an interview, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg advised countries in the 21st Century not to look to the US Constitution as an example in drafting their own constitutions.  Instead she recommended using the South African Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the European Convention on Human Rights.

How can Justice Ginsburg say this when she took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? It’s because, like all progressives, she believes it is a severely flawed and antiquated document.  Most progressives do not believe in the divine nature of man and therefore there aren’t unalienable rights that are granted by a creator to individuals regardless of whatever government they happen to be born under.

They believe Government is the granter of all basic human rights not the creator. READ MORE »
