“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.” – John Adams, 1777 “They that give up essential liberty to obtain...
From the Family Research Council: Nowhere in the Bible or the Constitution are we told that health care is a fundamental human right. Gov. Bradford observed that the socialistic system embraced by the Pilgrims brought out the worst in them: laziness, selfishness, even thievery became commonplace. Free market reform led to their recovery of...
Now it’s Barack Obama’s war. After campaigning against “George Bush’s War” in the Middle East, Obama has escalated that war. By transferring thousands of America’s forces from Iraq to Afghanistan, and by sending an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, the liberal Democrat has demonstrated that his administration is not so different from that of...
From JBS There are certain provisions of the Patriot Act handed to the American people in the wake of 9/11 that are set to expire at the end of 2009. The Senate is set to disentangle itself from the healthcare debate long enough to address the issues in response to the Obama administration’s desire...
Members of all branches of the United States Military will soon be facing a most critical decision. The European Union Times is reporting here that Obama is using the deployment of additional troops to Afghanistan to cover for the movement of some 200,000 troops, presently on duty in countries other than Iraq and Afghanistan,...
By ERICA WERNER Associated Press Writer On the Senate floor, Democrats are debating Republicans on health care. Behind the scenes, they’re debating each other. Those closed-door discussions may be less predictable — and more consequential — as majority Democrats struggle to settle controversies within the party that are standing in the way of passage...
How do you like this bowl of chilli? A House panel today approved a bill that would give the government power to shut down financial firms that pose a threat to the economy. On a 31-27 party-line vote, the House Financial Services Committee sent the bill to the House floor, where a vote could...
As far as illegal immigrants being able to access the proposed health insurance “exchanges,” the House version of the bill gives ‘em a green light. But Dan Carter of Air America claims the Catholic Church “has declined take up the cause for undocumented workers in the Senate.” Not true. (I’m shocked! Air America is...
“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone expects to live at the expense of everyone else.” Frederic Bastiat If the ILLEGALS can use the argument that giving birth to a child on American soil means those children are henceforth the financial and social responsibility of America and American’s taxes – then...
Is it that I foolishly chose a preposition to end a sentence with? Or is it that I chose to blithely split an infinitive? There’s got to be something that I am doing – or else something that I am not doing – that is the cause of myfailure to convince my very best...
A recent column co-authored by John Eidsmoe and Ben DuPré struck me. They titled their column, “What makes a ‘great’ president?” The basic thrust of the column was to examine the qualities that make one a “great” President. They start by examining the Presidency of our 11th President, James K. Polk. They note that...
I received this message from my good friends at JBS and I am passing it along to those because of the importance of the message itself. A great many have decided that your choice of health care should no longer be your choice. ‘If you were upset by House passage of its health care...
It will be immediately apparent to most that these three things share some common traits. The inspiration for this treatise actually came a few years ago while pulling weeds in my yard, a task I find more instructive than distasteful the older I get. I haven’t reached whatever age where I’ll truly appreciate gardening...
You might remember Michael Crichton’s fiction novel “The Andromeda Strain” about the epidemic spread of a deadly virus. My memory of the book was (spoiler alert) it ended with the self-destruct mechanism of the compound where the scientists and laboratories were was canceled with forty five seconds remaining. In typical Hollywood fashion, the subsequent...
In surfing the news this morning and reading the articles related to the three shootings – Texas, Florida, Seattle – in reading the background on the individuals involved a thought crosses my mind. While these events are terrible in themselves I look to WHY and in all of them I see one root cause...
One can go back to the bra burning days that gave birth to the Feminazi’s – the NOW Nags as LimPaw called them. When it became politically correct to make the female of the species run things (not that some couldn’t do a great job at it when required) and think that is how...
I recieved this email this morning and I believe that it is important that we, as responsible citizens react to its message: Let’s face it. We’re all tired of this health care reform debate. We know what’s at stake — an eventual complete government takeover of our health care system. We know that the...
There have been so many confusing things put on the table to solve our economic woes… tax rebates, stimulus packages, Federal Reserve rate cuts and sub-prime mortgage savings packages. Nothing has been ignored – except the truth. To understand why the proposals make no sense, you need to understand what caused our current economic...
In an article written on Post Politics it appears that parts of the Republican Party in the state of Tennessee are not happy with their conservative Vice Chair of the Davidson County GOP and is attempting to oust Vice Chairman Matt Collins. The original post is here. “Collins was informed that he will face...
By Chuck Baldwin’s Son, Tim Baldwin After the release of my last column “Freedom’s Destruction by Constitutional De-Construction,” I received so many responses to my statement, “The people of the states once again reject this national form of government and assert and defend the principles of federalism,” that I felt the need to...
This is the ten-minute video sent to me by Fred Marshall III that grieved me for its measure of truth. While I wish to make as many people as possible aware of it the problems that confront us, I know so many are oblivious to it. I hope you don’t get discouraged, but instead...
This has been going around in my head for at least a week now, and I finally worked on it enough to share. Those who have even a passing familiarity with music lyrics will have quickly detected the title’s parody of Roberta Flack’s classic “Killing Me Softly”. That song has since been remade by...
Posted today from my good friends at “The Patriot Post “ “At the heart of the American idea is the deep distrust and suspicion the founders of our nation had for government, distrust and suspicion not shared as much by today’s Americans. Some of the founders’ distrust is seen in our Constitution’s language such...
July 7, 2009 Dr. Paul L. Williams “In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, ” Michelle Obama...
Thanks to Jackie for sharing Ever wonder why there was a big push to get GPS readings at your front door? by Walter Burien The government census has over the last year made a very big push to get GPS readings at your front door as many reading this are aware of. When they...
The following letter was sent to the Jackson Sun yesterday. I don’t know “David K. Johnson” of “Jackson.” But his letter titled “Tanner represents his district with fairness” in the Sun was such a flagrant example of propagandist penmanship that it couldn’t have been better had it originated with Mr. Tanner’s own professional, in-office...
I originally published this column back in January of 2005. Since then (and especially lately), many people have called and written with requests to republish it. So, with a few minor revisions, here it is. More than thirty years as a student of American history, constitutional government, and the Holy Bible leads me to...
According to a Blog by Matt Collins Senator Corker has introduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve. “At first glance this might seem like a step in the right direction, except that he is behind the curve because there is already a bill in the US Senate to audit the Federal Reserve. It’s...
From Ron Sanchez H-1B legislation has been quiet for awhile, but it looks like that is going to change. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) introduced legislation to Congress that would double the H-1B cap, and in some circumstances triple it. The way it would work is that the yearly cap of 65,000 would be raised...
The American Family Association is reporting that even the Associated Press admits, the government takeover of health care will, despite what the president has told you, involve the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions. The AP says flatly, “The proposed legislation would permit government-sponsored health plans, open to non-Medicaid patients, to cover...
From Larry Becraft Here’s a quote from the Federal agency that runs the Natn’l Weather Service. Go to the link below to see the web page. Doesn’t this look pretty newsworthy? Have you seen it in the mainstream media? I haven’t. Problem is that it does not fit the party line of the global...
On occassion, there is reason for concern and reason for jubulationwhen we read the comments of politicians defending the existing form of government or even the founding doucuments of a city or state or federal government. In an article published in TheCityPaper Sunday Jerry L. Maynard II announced his defense of the the current Metro...
Suspend whatever opinion you have about our alleged president for a few minutes. In spite of whatever you know or think about the man, he is merely the latest in a long line of puppets helping bring about the destruction of this country. Henry Kissinger, perhaps the most dangerous man in the world with...
Back on June 5, 2009, President Barack Obama’s communications director Anita Dunn told a high school class that her Favorite philosopher is Mao Tse-Tung. Listen very carefully and what do you hear. Basically she is saying that the left doesn’t have to fight the battle that the other side has to fight because the...
This was sent to me by the son of a dear late friend, and as much email as I get (much of which is certainly worth forwarding), I consider this an urgent message. If you really love this country, now would be a good time to prove it. P.S. The video is about four minutes –...
I read somewhere that hard work is a sign of a willingness to be responsible. So typically people who are getting things done are usually getting them done for others as well a themselves. In an interview with the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Jackson, I described myself as a man that picks up sticks. That...
I just sent this to Orly (9:15 pm PST). Also, I talked with her on the phone, and told her about all the kudos coming in from all over, and what a great job she did in her interview on CNN Headline News with Joy Behar this evening. (see YouTube link below) I told...
I have been told that this might be the procedure for the passing of the proposed Health Care Law through the House of Representatives. This so reminds me of the Mayor’s position on the council at times. An Insult to Our Democracy
Before I launch into my message on the subject titled book, I want to mention something I meant to share in my Sunday school class a while back, but forgot. One of the doctors who saw my granddaughter in Texas for her health conditions last week had the integrity to admit to my older...
This “Sam” said to be our “uncle” is not our dad, but neither is he our uncle. He’s a neat piece of propaganda created by a government of an entity that is not our “country” but, rather, an organization or alliance or league or club in which our Country, now by military force as...
I received a *2010 Congressional District Survey from the RNC. I was about to toss it thru the shredder and then though I would answer it – MY WAY. I am also going to send this to the state GOP so they are sure to get my message. Dear GOP, Why would I want...
This year the Tennessee Municiple League Executive Committee opted to provide an online voting process for this year’s proposed policy initiatives. Each city was limited to one vote and respondents were asked to rank the proposed policy initiatives in order of preference. This post provides an overview as ranked by the participants. I have not...
What a day yesterday was for President Barack Obama! At 0600 the Pentagon awarded our Nobel Peace Prize winner the Navy Cross, the Army Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. At 0615 he was also awarded the Medal of Honor. At 0630 he was awarded a Silver Star And at 0645 he...
Rep. John Shadegg has been trying to get a bill enacted for 15 years that would simply require legislators to cite the constitutional authority for any legislation that is proposed. His bill is called the Enumerated Powers Act (HR450). It now has 52 co-sponsors, but there is very little chance that it will ever...
According to the Memphis internet paper examinar.com the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has decided to try to pull rank on Arizona Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. “Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has just ordered Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to stop arresting suspects based solely on the fact that they are...
Some differences between conservatives and liberals…so simple but very accurate. If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for...
Why do we not have a Godly person in the final three to choose as our king to rule over us? 1. Could man be manipulating the voting machines? Yes. It is possible. We cannot and should not be so trusting to think that man’s heart is not wicked enough to do this. The...
Sometime during what has been the most difficult two weeks of my life thus far, I heard or read that school book publishers are beginning to include (or increase the emphasis on) the events of September 11th in upcoming editions of history text books. No doubt because of who owns & controls the major...
The Jackson City Council will again take up the gaunlet and meet both Thursday and offically on Tuesday the 6th at 9:00 AM. The agenda has not been published on the web yet and instead of publishing the document online I will send it out and comment on each a little latter in the...
A friend of mine asked me if I was in favor of the parking garage. I responded to her question with some options that I could support. I could possibly support a parking garage if were owned and built by the city of Jackson and housed the city court underneath (That is if we...
