Welcome to RectitudeUSA

Yesterday...

Yes, The "Blue Wave" hit Maine yesterday,
Poised to erode much of the economic & moral berm Republicans recently built up,
like the "yankee clipper" hurricane did to damage Maine in 1938.

It isn't that I don't appreciate having the first Woman Governor
of Maine, the fact that I originally supported Mary Mayhew in preference
to Shawn Moody in the Gubernatorial primary might help to prove that point...
After Ted Cruz signed that ridiculous pledge to support and not run against another Republican in the primary for President, I had
actually hoped for the chance & would have absolutely supported a run by Carly Fiorina for President and Ted Cruz for Vice President...
Thinking that would have not violated that agreement... but ... never mind...
But Yes... I would have been proud to see Mary Mayhew Governor... or Carly Fiorina President...

So it isn't that I don't appreciate the idea of having a Woman as our Governor of Maine,
Nor my cherishing the idea of a young woman being able to accomplish
and do anything that she believes she wants to do...whether in politics,
or business or in the participation of the creation of Life itself...
I only have the utmost hope and dreams for My Daughter... for her
personal Happiness & Success...within all her Life's endeavors...
I would think there would be something terribly wrong with me if I didn't feel that way...

But there are numerous things that really disturb me about Yesterday's election results, they're multi faceted & within
witnessing the insane dichotomy of the Progressive Democrat's left wing activism...

Their recent propaganda claiming to support preserving life while fighting against law abiding gun ownership &
the human right of being able to defend one's self and their family, from criminals, murder or rape,
while they actively continue to promote & garner support for that hideous, barbarous practice,
what they have coined and misrepresented as a "woman's right" to decimate & destroy a living human being,
just because it bears that tragic, ironic misfortune to be living in their womb.
The legality of that provided within a moral less, unconstitutional rogue court's decision
with Roe v. Wade, which was a lie and a fraud perpetuated on humanity.
Norma Leah McCorvey, the Roe in Roe V. Wade, although she was used to achieve the decision,
after she understood that, she vowed to, and carried on a tremendous fight against abortion,
for the rest of her Life. As did Dr. Nathanson, Founder of NARAL. They both stood up &
spent the last years of their lives fighting against the lies perpetrated by the abortion industry.

The political activism of "planned parenthood's" economic support for Janet Mills was overwhelming...
even to Democrats in the Democratic primary...
Adam Cote, one of the democratic gubernatorial candidates was enraged by the amount of money
"planned parenthood" invested in their candidate, Janet Mills... Adam Cote thought it was unfair and
an outrage.

For the "progressive" democrats that wear equality up and down on their sleeve...they
have established an exacting pattern that equality is only equality when it's convenient for their instant purposes.

For "progressive" democrats, Women should be treated explicitly equally, except of course when the opportunity for
"progressive" Women exists to gain power, then Sexism rules the roost, equality goes out the window and it becomes OK. to
discriminate against a Man in preference to a Woman, within Woman's propaganda, garnering support from organizations that only
support woman, like Emily's list, "We ignite change by getting pro-choice Democratic Women elected to office"
Woman of course, are naturally, apparently by "progressive" democrat standards, not to consider the candidates qualifications,
and are only supposed to support and vote for Woman...unless there's a "progressive" democrat Man or "non binary" running, who
by their standards seems to imply to them somehow that they'll be a good second choice to support "Women", so then women can vote for them..I guess...
Pure Sexism fuels the "progressive" democrats chanting, while they claim they are standing up and fighting for equality.
It's this continuing utter hypocrisy... claiming to fight for equality while really fighting for division within their attempt
to achieve power within creating more division & hatred within their progressive agenda...
and it doesn't stop there...the same
logic runs over in regard to people's color...

Black & White is only equal to them when it serve's progressives purposes..."White" people, or caucasian people are expected to treat
"black" people or "people of color" within equality, not judging them by their color or race, removing any terminology that
might be offensive to them, removing any potential barriers to equality based purely on the color of a persons skin...
ideology that would certainly seem to be within utmost or highest aspirations...
But it doesn't seem to work the other way around for "progressive" democrats, as proven time and time again, whether it's the racist
NAACP, or Michele Obama celebrating organizations like "Black Girls Rock"... or Black Entertainment Television...
Again, equality is only equality when it's convenient for their instant purposes
So if I had the unconscionable sheer audacity to be racially disrespectful, for some reason I couldn't even freaking fathom
for any reasoning, and developed "White Entertainment Television", does Michele Obama think that would be acceptable or right?... or how
bout' "White Girls Rock!!!" ... All girls rock... you racist a$$holes... just as all boys rock... you sexist a$$holes...
kids rock...All Kids Rock.... They're Kids!
I'm not talking about Boy scouts or Girl scouts... which for the purposes of avoiding juvenile's sexual experimentation and avoiding pregnancies
from overnight outings might be construed as a noble, reasonably prudent separation...or distinction...
But "Black Girls Rock?"...those no good racist sexist bastards, they can't stop trying to cause racial or human divide...
This is sickening... the progressives logic is twisted... it's not designed for achieving unity, it's designed for advancing
political divide to achieve power and for achieving political support of their agenda...and I'm really sick of it.

I support Man or Woman, "Black" or "White" or any other color, I support a candidate based on their principles... on the best
attempt I can to try to find someone who has decent, basic morality & character, who exhibits honesty, who will treat all
people fairly within the law and the golden rule, who will stand and fight to uphold our Nation's founding values and our
Constitution... believing all people are created equally...and believing in the essential elements of our Freedom and
Liberty...the incredible nature of our Nation...and in doing everything we can to protect that.
That's who I try to vote for.

But in Maine this year...The "Racist" tool was used within two prong agenda by "progressive" Democrats... In a few races, no
pun intended, a legislator that sponsored legislation to prohibit Female Genital Mutilation was beaten, within attacks that
she was sponsored by "white supremacist groups"...and slandering propaganda that any attempts of FGM legislation are racist.
How wide these attacks of racism spread thought the elections is yet unclear...but they were definitely used in attempts to
destroy other candidates. In fact, FGM is fought against by AHA Foundation Founder, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, from Somalia, and she is
known as a women’s rights activist, champion of free speech, and best-selling author. She is also known as someone who speaks
truth to power. https://www.theahafoundation.org/female-genital-mutilation/
Ayaan’s journey began in Somalia in 1969 where, as a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM). From
very early on, she questioned the subjugation of women she saw all around her; while listening to a sermon on the many ways
women should be obedient to their husbands, she couldn't resist asking, "Must our husbands obey us too?"
The people in Maine who listened to the "progressive" democrat's propaganda and cries of racism, did an injustice to young
woman's rights, in failing to elect candidates who would actually stand up for young woman, instead of the spineless
propaganda of many of the Maine House Progressive Democrats...who failed to stand up and take a stand against this hideous
practice, because they were afraid they might insult somebody. I can't express the disdain I have for people who won't stand
up for innocent young women. Sadly, somehow political smear campaigns worked for "progressive" democrats... and Maine lost
some really good people representing their interests, including a fine District Attorney who stood up for young woman and
supported anti FGM legislation so he could prosecute people performing this sadistic, barbarous practice.
That's what Maine's "progressive" Blue Wave being celebrated earned them... Think about that.

The racist card was also played regarding immigration... or attempts to stop welfare from going to illegal aliens...or
refugees...

I resent refugees being placed in America. Not because I don't like people from other countries... Actually I do... Some of
the best friends I've had in my life and had the incredible opportunity to work along side were from other countries, some
were once "illegal aliens", these people from other countries that risked everything they had to escape and come to America...
within the hope of Emma Lazarus's poem inscribed within our Statue of Liberty. But they made that decision in and of their own
right... believing in America for what it represented to them... and they came here, by whatever means necessary, they got
assistance from friends, from Churches or Synagogues, they didn't come here for a handout... they came for their chance to
live in America.
Airlifting people to America as refugees... people you don't know whether they were fighting to kill you three weeks before,
who have no interest in preserving America or living within America's cultural norms...isn't right to me. I believe it dilutes
what generations of Americans have endured to make us a melting pot...to make us stronger for who we are and what we're made
of...our mettle...
Airlifting and dropping refugees, scattering them across the nation within a social program for change isn't' supporting
America, nor the legacy of our Immigrant's history of achieving success through all struggles...
I don't believe that America, as what we represent, should just leave people who are war torn or struggling through political
upheaval, alone and without help. I believe in supporting them within the boundaries of their nation or establishing some
place that makes sense, for them to survive. I don't believe airlifting them to America is an honest nor fair answer.
Nor do I believe that the American taxpayer should be forced to fund welfare to immigrants or to refugees that have been
placed here by our Government.
Yes, I believe that America, in helping assure our place within the world, on the world stage and what we represent to Freedom
and Humanity, has a responsibility to help the world we live in to maintain peace, and to help innocent human beings that are
displaced, ravaged, at risk to be raped or murdered within the tyranny of evil, as we did for Humanity within our gallant
efforts during World War II...we can help the world by helping others... in their homelands, but that shouldn't mean giving
them the keys to the city...taking away any just qualifications for entrance to America...or giving preference from one
nationality over another...just because someone feels bad for them...or it makes good publicity...
What it should mean is that America does right for Humanity... in every corner of the world where it can... helping people by
helping prevent tyrannical leaders from overthrowing the free will of innocent human beings... helping these nations from
being devastated from atrocity...helping humanity...and yes...while protecting the core mechanisms of our Nation that enabled
us to achieve the capacity to help save the world...not throwing these mechanisms out to the whims of bogus, damaging
"progressive" ideology and fraud.

So Yes... we were hit with a Blue Wave...or a really bad undertow...at least Maine was...

Maybe it was from the Obama administration and it's dumping of all the toxic chemicals in the Atlantic Ocean trying to clean up
the B.P. oil spill...or the expanse of fracking on our very nation...under the Obama administration.
Or from Obama's political use and the advancement of Planned Parenthood's Abortion Money... and groups like Emily's list or
the LGBTQ agenda machine...
Maybe this was the "progressive" democrats retribution for the Brett Kavanaugh appointment...or from their concerns of the
possibility of having Roe v. Wade overturned...
their coercion, hatred and attempts to destroy even their former "across the aisle supportive voters" like Maine's Senator
Susan Collins, who were targets for their vile hatred, within threats of harm & personal intimidation & despicable attacks.
Their propaganda and absence of any morality shining clear on their win at any and all cost methodology...

Maybe it was today's left wing press...or the entertainment industry...or Hollywood's money or the progressive influences in
college & education...

In America, Republicans picked up a few Senate seats, and Maintained control of the Senate... But we lost the House...
by a good number of seats...

Yes...Conservative Morality has a much better position on the Supreme Court than we did just a couple of years ago...
We'll see where that brings us... and hopefully that will assure and protect our rights to uphold our freedom of our morality
and our rights to keep and bear arms well in to the future...

But in the meantime, Morality in Maine took a real "scholonking"...and that isn't very good for Maine.

Maine voters just elected what could be described as the Hillary Clinton of Maine, for Governor.
The biggest "planned parenthood" abortion & LGBTQ spokeswoman you could possibly imagine.
Maine voters just re-elected two incumbents that had promoted and supported Obama's Iran Deal, of
sending Billions and Billions and Billions of Dollars to Iran...people who have vowed to Destroy USA and Israel, our Allies in the
Middle East while they go around telling people they actively support BIW.
Sending billions and billions of dollars to a nation who vowed to destroy Israel isn't supporting bigotry?
Or in other words... they don't mind trying to buy votes by promising jobs & money for BIW, but they are NOT supporting our
Nation's National Security, nor our allies, and this is sinful.
In more local races, Maine voters ousted a Woman, a Legislator, who had worked diligently trying to protect young woman from
FGM, a tragic form of sexist, sexual abuse & torture...for that work, the woman was labled "racist", and a Man, the
"independent" "clean elections" "medicaid expansion" candidate won... The "progressives" who fought against the incumbent
really stood up for Women & Woman's rights this election, didn't they!...

At the beginning and at the end of every day, people have to live with themselves & the choices they make...
Those choices when voting, not only affect themselves, they affect others...

For whatever reasons... a lot of people in Maine chose to "stand up" for "planned parenthood" and the barbarism of abortion...
500,000 surgical abortions a year in the U.S. alone, not birth control, not emergency birth control pills, surgical abortions.
People who voted for Janet Mills for our Governor, now own a piece of that...and all of planned parenthood's contributions to
her campaign...they now have to live with themselves...I don't have any regrets who I voted for. I can sleep at night.

For whatever reasons... a lot of people in Maine chose to return to "Baldacci" style leadership, the "leadership" that
expanded socialized medicine & got us in to overwhelming bad debt. They voted for Janet Mills.
I didn't.

For whatever reasons... a lot of people in Maine chose to vote for two incumbents that had tried to sell out America's
Sovereignty to the U.N. Small Arms Treaty and had actually sold our our National Security, and that of our good allies, to
Obama's Iran Deal.
The same two incumbents that had helped screw over Maine taxpayers with their wind power schemes...

Maine's voters had a real choice... Two individuals who had committed themselves to upholding Freedom & Liberty, our
Constitution... upholding our rights...
One a particularly energizing, optimistic up and coming State Senator who had proven himself to upheld rights for all of us... The other a
staunch supporter of police & working people, an honest concerned mental health professional...both would have served Maine
people exceptionally well...

They were both swept away by that Blue Wave and it's undertow...

It's as simple as that.

Maine People... You'll get what you voted for...

Have you lost your conscience?

Is this really want you want for the future of Maine and what you want for your children?

Really?

With the way I voted, no matter the outcome, I can honestly sleep at night...

Can You?

B.G.

We are living within a tragically troubled America...

Our Great Country, established, designed and organized to be governed for and by it's people, the earliest vision and founding of the first true representative government, a beacon of light in the world of Freedom and Liberty, helping to advance humanity and having developed the incredible capacity to be able to help protect the world from the ravages of unconscionable tyrannical regimes, is now in threat from within and is in dire need of the concern and involvement of it's citizens.

During the Obama Administration's tenure in office, they have blatantly corrupted the morality, integrity and character of our Country. They have mocked the laws of Nature and of Nature's God, they have threatened corporations holding traditional viewpoints of marriage with governmental interference in regard to their operations, they have rewarded the despicable, unscrupulous behavior of banking and insurance executives with government bailouts supporting individuals who were reaping multi-million dollar yearly salaries and bonuses, making their "killings" off the backs of average American citizens, their Families and the country's Retirees - those whom those executives had incorrigibly fleeced.

Most of the Democrats signed up very early on Obama's coat tails, and recently the Republican party has been plagued with their share of floundering Republicans, "RINO's", apparently those representatives unwilling to stand tall or to hold on to any sense of decency, rational reasoning or morality.
The Obama Administration piling debt upon debt upon debt, insurance and bank bailouts, irrational, irresponsible stimulus programs and investments, like an irresponsible rogue government kid in a candy store, yes this President, First Lady and family, jet setting to events spending millions, vacationing like there's absolutely nothing wrong within America, while millions are unemployed and the American Standard of Living is precariously poised for the downside.

The Obama Administration ignoring the tragic health consequences of promoting LGBTQ Lifestyles, helping push for pulling the plug on the Defense of Marriage Act, Obama and crew wholeheartedly supporting Same Sex Marriage and Same Sex lifestyles, and trying to force states to accept the provisions of Same Sex Marriages within federal regulations

The Obama Adminstration "Proudly" Licensing the first new Nuclear Power Plants to be built within the U.S. for over 30 years - without having an appropriate place on hand to entomb and maintain the spent radioactive fuel, and further pushing for more Nuclear Power development after the effects of the Fukushima disaster were clearly in mind.

The disgraceful debacle regarding the former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the tragic death of the U.S. Ambassador to Benghazi and the Marines assigned to protect the American Embassy...and unconscionably ignoring their pleas for support...

The United States Department of the Interior, Minerals Managment Service, under the Obama administration, giving BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 2009

This is a glimpse of the current norm for the daily insanity in Washington, only propelled more and more by the influence of the LGBTQ "army" and LGBTQ supporters in Hollywood and the Music industry.

Any semblance of rational intelligent thinking is gone, with the Obama Administration and most of the Democrats completely pandering to the LGBTQ army's activism, to vast big oil interests, and within the administration's distorted short term economic and energy whims.

The Country needs to get back on Track. It's beyond time.

Effecting change, getting this country back on it's feet...
Is it actually Possible or is the American Dream with Representative Government D.O.A.,
with the Country rolling over to the Lunacy and Madness of the Left Wing, Socialist, LGBTQ, Aetheistic agenda?

Well, here's some encouraging numbers...sadly discouraging for the lack of prior voter interest...but very encouraging for the potential to be able to turn it around and to achieve new intelligent direction within informed voter involvement...encouraging enough...allowing for a fair chance to be able to prevent the current disgrace of an administration and it's supporters from influencing the next...

2008 - 213,313,508 eligible voters - 82,008,777 DID NOT VOTE in the Presidential Elections.

2010 - 217,498,564 eligible voters - 128,399,088 DID NOT VOTE in the General Elections.

2012 - 221,925,820 eligible voters - 92,854,914 DID NOT VOTE in the Presidential Elections.

2008 Barack Obama = 66,882,230 - John McCain = 58,343,671

2012 Barack Obama = 62,615,406 - Mitt Romney = 59,142,004

3,473,402 votes was the difference between Barack Obama getting elected and Mitt Romney losing.

4,266,824 more people voted for Obama in 2008 than in 2012 - what might have occurred had those voters voted for Romney? Would Romney have had a more conscionable administration? I would certainly say so, but You can only speculate.

92,854,914 votes that could have been cast by eligible voters that DIDN'T VOTE in 2012.

3.74% of those 92,854,914 could have made the difference.

2016 Hillary Clinton = 65,853,514 - Donald Trump = 62,984,828 Donald Trump won factoring in the electoral college.

But it's that close - What's required to make a difference...

Washington continually needs new blood that has a Conscience and that will stand with a Moral Backbone and Intestinal Fortitude...

Like the Founders of this Great Country did for all of us...

Yes, now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country!

Help garner interest in bringing this Great Country back to life, and help get it back on the right track... Help get rid of the apathy and the disillusionment that has been created...and the moral decay...

Help Rally the troops...keep rallying the troops... and Yes...Remember...

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it"

Send e-mails - make telephone calls - spread the call to arms...don't stop!. Don't ever stop!

Address delivered at the dedication of the Cemetery at Gettysburg.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we cannot hallow - this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

God Bless America!

(the original post has been updated...see below)

Well ... it's been a pretty good run... I've heard of it often enough... being locked out of twitter... but it's never happened to me personally before...

I just reached 20,000 or so posts... All of them originally typed and placed by hand...and yes, I know, that's far too much time tweeting...
but it's also the 1st time I've been knocked off of twitter...

I tried resetting... so far, to no avail... I've got a few emails in to twitter support...still haven't had an update...just a notice
they received my request... I've not yet received their reset code... without that, apparently can't get anywhere...

So we'll see what happens... right now all of my posts or replies are no longer visible...like I was never on twtter

Twitter is free... I really didn't or don't expect anything... it's not a service I pay for... they have the right to do whatever they want...
it's their business...I know... and although I try not to say anything unnecessarily offensive...
(if the truth itself is offensive to someone, I can't change that, that's just what it is)
I don't F-bomb... etc...but I certainly have been known to call Obama a traitor... the other day I called Obama and his administration bastards...for selling one of the legendary arsenals of democracy, Chrysler Corporation, to Italian concerns... instead of creating an employee owned esop or something... which they could have done...and saved the company for American concerns... is that too over the top?

Yes, I can tend to be pretty blunt...I've hit the stage in my life where I'm beyond fed up with the people who are really hurting America and our future...so I'm not really
to soft and fuzzy when I talk about them. Can you blame me?

But I always try to be 100% honest...and yes...arguably...maybe because of that, sometimes I'm not the sweetest...

My last posts before I got bumped off were a post against a Maine congressional candidate, Jared Golden, who was boasting he had just got endorsed by Obama...
I responded with My usual rants about Obama... between the record national debt, attempts at selling out our sovereignty to UN,
the sin of the Iran deal... and him or his administration selling Chrysler to Italian concerns... I told Jared Golden (he's a "progressive socialist") that he deserved Obama's endorsement. (and no, that isn't a compliment)

The next day they locked my account out, saying it had signs of automation... "Your account appears to have exhibited automated behavior that violates the Twitter Rules: https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311"; .... but none of my posts are automated...

Yes... I've been knocking the "progressives" Democratic Socialism... pointing out all the people who have tragically perished due to marxist socialism, communism, today they're calling the same crap democratic socialism, etc...and shouldn't we all knock that?... and I've also pointed out the awful b.s. attacks against Kavanaugh... the same ole, same ole despicable left wing attempts to attack & destroy conservative justices...Bork, Thomas and now Kavanaugh...am I wrong to?

Updated:

And It sure seems pretty strange... while I'm getting bumped off of twitter, during the same time period, the hashtag #killkavanaugh was
"trending" on twitter... does someone at twitter believe that's o.k.?, (or was that not brought to their attention?)....I don't know....but it seems kind of indicative.
The fact they didn't give someone a chance to rebut the claim before they shut them off...seems a little indicative...(I'm not sure if that makes me very comfortable)

As a general recommendation to conservatives that Tweet, I think it would be prudent to be careful and don't put all your eggs in one basket...

I did receive notice today that my account was reinstated or unlocked... I don't appear to have lost any posts,
and twitter apologized to me,
so I must say, Thank You, again, to Twitter...

Again, Twitter is a free service... we all grow somehow accustomed to receiving these free services...twitter, facebook, hotmail or gmail, etc., but we shouldn't grow accustomed as thinking of these free services as something that is inherently "ours"... because they're definitely not.
We don't own them... we merely participate in them...and are always subject to having that participation limited or enjoined or cut off by the organization's policies or
changes in their directions or motivation, or perhaps merely to a newer algorithmic screening.
I have enjoyed the opportunity on twitter to air my opinion(s)... to enable communication with others who share similar beliefs...or have discourse or debate with people who don't, and to also to be able to try to fight against what I believe is clearly misrepresented or wrong, within the forum of twitter.
and I think that is really a pretty incredible thing...

Twitter has offered me that opportunity, and I do truly appreciate that...

My comments here, regarding the Justice Brett Kavanaugh Senate Confirmation Hearings,
are all related to a defined, continuing pattern of America's left wing progressive democrats
blatantly trying to do anything they can to destroy the chance of a conservative justice
having his nomination confirmed to our Nation's Highest Court.

Years ago, Ronald Reagan's nominee for the Supreme Court, Robert Bork,
was destroyed by the unethical hearings and attacks of Joe Biden and Teddy Kennedy...
and other Democratic Senators.

Their disgraceful treatment of Robert Bork, actually coined it's own term, highlighted in the Merriam - Webster dictionary...

The Definition of Bork US politics, slang: Merriam Webster:

to attack or defeat (a nominee or candidate for public office) unfairly through an organized campaign of harsh public criticism or vilification In 1987, conservative judge Robert Bork endured such virulent criticism …
that to this day, a nominee sidelined by activists is said to have been “borked.” —Claire Suddath, Time, 18 May 2009
Thus, with Bush determined to name an anti-abortion conservative, any nominee may end up Borked. —Rowland Evans and Robert Novak,
Washington Post, 1 July 1991

Unfair Vilification

PBS presentation Bork's Impact on the Confirmation Process:

Some familiar faces:

Part of Justice Bork's Senate Hearings:

a Tribute to Robert Bork:

They destroyed Justice Robert Bork's future. They destroyed a good human being, to maintain their "progressive" political agenda.

They attempted to do that, once again, to Justice Clarence Thomas

with Joe Biden leading the charge...once again...

Justice Clarence Thomas opening statement:
https://youtu.be/ZPNkkUJtjo8?t=1065

Justice Thomas expressing his anguish during the hearing:
https://youtu.be/ZPNkkUJtjo8?t=1756

Senator Orrin Hatch's statement during the hearings

Further testimony:

from wikipedia: (trimmed for brevity)
Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed by the Senate and now serves as an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
He is currently the most senior justice on the Court following the retirement of Anthony Kennedy.

There is no question that in Supreme Court Justice Thomas has gone on to serve his nation,
perhaps most clearly in regard to his attempts protecting individual liberties, extremely well...
but most assuredly, the unconscionable vilification of him during the Senate Nomination process
has most certainly left an emotional and real scar on an undeserving Conservative, Justice Clarence Thomas...

And yes, they are attempting to do the same, right now, to Brett Kavanaugh

Justice Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement...

Senator Lindsey Graham's statement during the hearing:

Senator Orrin Hatch's statement during the hearing:

Google the videos... the Bork hearings... the Thomas Hearings... and the current Kavanaugh Hearings....
It's the same, continuing attempt to destroy conservative nominees and justices...

If the American people, Republicans and Conservatives and independents whom believe in our Nation's founding principles,
keep letting the left wing progressives destroy the chances for conservatism or originalism to maintain in America....

America is sunk.

For all of our sake, for our Founder's Sacred oath & their honor, for God's aspirations for humanity,
for everybody who honestly cherishes and loves America,
and the chances that it has given to millions and millions...
for all that gave their lives and whom worked and fought for the belief in our Nation and what is morally right....

I sure hope it's not...

Some people scream bigot every chance they can...some people claim I'm a Bigot...are you a Bigot?....am I a Bigot?

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines a bigot as:

"a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

Are you intolerant?...are you non-inclusive?...are you prejudiced?...are you this?...are you that?

Are you a Bigot if you despise Liars?....how bout' if you you abhor Rapists....or you feel a healthy hatred toward Child Molesters or pedophiles?...does that make You a Bigot?
how bout' Murderers...how bout Embezzlers that steal from Elderly?...what about Politicians that Mislead People and hurt their futures?... what if they all make you downright Sick to your Stomach? Does that make you a Bigot?....

Right from Wrong is really a pretty simple concept, but there's always somebody trying to blur the lines....isn't there?

What is Right...and what is Wrong? I know what Right and Wrong are to me...What are they to You?

To me...if something helps support Life itself...if something helps support advancing civilization within our Society...if something helps promote the general health and welfare of the future of our Civilization and Society...and doesn't harm anybody...it is Right...it would generally be good...and to support it, at least fundamentally, is Right. Is that wrong to feel that way?

I was born an American...and I live as an American Citizen...and If something supports the fundamental elements of the principles within our Nation's founding...those incredible aspirations and beliefs of our Nation's founders...those beliefs attested to within our Nation's founding document, the Declaration of Independence...and the further protecting of those rights and establishment for the operations and continuation of our Government within our Nation's Constitution....for our Posterity...
That is Right...that is Healthy for America...and for our Civilization...

When someone or organization tries it's best to organize and promote sexual behavior and lifestyles that have been absolutely proven to be a majority cause of the progress of a tragic illness as pandemic as HIV and AIDS....the corresponding data of illness and deaths readily available...(Over 80 Million contracting HIV / AIDS and over 40 million HIV / AIDS related deaths worldwide since the pandemic began - See current AMFAR & US CDC statistics)....while that corresponding behavior and lifestyles inherently providing for and promoting individual's hereditary extinction...This is wrong...to me it is sheer madness to accept or acquiesce to that...it is lunacy on the rise... but to many....my calling the promotion of that sexuality and those "lifestyles" wrong - they try to label me a "Bigot"

Today and for a number of years...the LGBTQ "progressive" agenda army has been trying to delineate anybody who does not believe in Same Sex Sexuality or Same Sex Sexuality, as a Bigot.

The Left Wing "Progressive" activists curse religious "dogma"....and they do everything they can to push their cause within educational, political, governmental and religious enterprises... they say accept this and accept that... and label and target anyone who won't acquiesce to their demands....

They want Same Sex Marriage to be Federal Government approved and promoted...even though that's against our Nation's Constitution...that's it's within States Rights to determine or protect Marriage as they see fit...

They want grown Men who "identify" as a woman to be able to use traditionally biologically separated Woman's restroom facilities...potentially risking the health of very young woman in what should be a sensitive and personal environment within their daily activity and lives... (and for those who say it doesn't risk health... look at the statistics for HIV / AIDS in transgender populations. The statistics are staggering)

They want people who own a business who don't want to hire a Man who "identifies" as a woman to not be able to apply for nor receive any Federal Government Contracts... Think about the people who might be assembling tactical weaponry... do you really believe that companies, in order to receive federal contracts, should be forced to hire people who don't accept their own sexuality that was given to them at birth? Isn't that the utter hypocrisy? forcing people to accept something they don't believe in?...otherwise, even if they're the very best military equipment manufacturer, they can't have a government contract?... Really?
What happened to preserving individuals freedom?

They want the U.S. Armed Forces to be LGBTQ and Transgender inclusive and friendly... to celebrate LGBTQ lifestyles....
LGBTQ is an acronym for labels for forms of SEXUALITY...or a Sexual Deviance....Who What Why When and How of what people profess they are attracted to, what kind of Sex they engage in and What they Identify as, etc. Period.
People serving in the U.S. Armed forces...while serving their nation... should not be discussing their Sexuality...Promoting their Sexuality...Indoctrinating individuals to their Sexuality or Engaging in Sex while they're on duty. Nobody serving our Nation should be intimidated by people "Expressing" their Sexuality...Imposing their Sexuality...Exploiting their Sexuality...or Pushing their Sexuality on anyone else...That isn't fair to anyone serving in our Nation's Military.
Men to Woman, Woman to Men, Men to Men or Women to Women. Period.

They want LGBTQ Leadership to be mandated within anti-discrimination laws regarding young Men's and Women's organizations, like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and within Public Education, Colleges and their Counselors and Teachers, demanding LGBTQ who are interested in openly expressing their Sexuality, Sexual Orientation to their Students and Colleagues and Peers maintain complete access to individuals and students.

They're trying to corrupt and gnaw and break down our basic societal constructs....while ignoring the fundamental elements of Life itself.
While ignoring the pain and cost that the diseases proliferated by Men who have Sex with Men have proliferated...the pain caused to people
being molested....the pain caused to people from others trying to indoctrinate them...

Yes...Some will claim I'm a Bigot.... So be it...

I grew up in New York...and I remember Manhattan in the late 70's and 80's...I remember the nightclubs or the discos...
Manhattan was fun...there were plenty of straight bars...and being straight you just stayed away from the gay bars...they were very obvious....I remember when the "gay men's health crisis" began...the known and obvious rampant sexuality of gay men in the city was ridiculous...in the street....the reports from U.S. News and World Reports...the reports in the NY Times...driving through Manhattan...I witnessed the crowds gathered around the gay bars...like the "ramrod"...I was aware of the NYC Police Department's efforts trying to control the rampant spread of HIV / AIDS...it was in all the papers...the police posted notices telling patrons they couldn't have public sex...they closed down the bathhouses and the Gay bars....Google the ramrod or the mineshaft...Google gay bars in the 80's...Google the bathhouses...
it makes your stomach churn....

The LGBTQ activists will say that's irrelevant... that doesn't represent today.... Sure...Just Google "NYC Pride Parade" images....of the last couple of years...

A lot of innocent people died when HIV / AIDS got in the blood banks....a lot of innocent people were dying....The newspapers were riddled with people dying from AIDS....

A number of years ago...in the 90's...while have dinner at a local diner...there was a bus boy...and a young waitress...and the bus boy kept rambling about his gay sexual exploits to the waitress...she was becoming very upset....the discourse was very disconcerting... when I had the moment I asked her if she was o.k., I was prepared to testify against him....but she preferred I didn't....
I've seen that type of interaction...I've witnessed the cramming down of a deplorable lifestyle being spewed at an innocent...
I've witnessed the continuing lewd interactions in what could be deemed a family oriented Holiday show at Radio City Music Hall...
and I've seen the giant parades and graphic displays of LGBTQ sexuality & commotion surrounding LGBTQ oriented parades and activities....
In front of all the innocent children to see...you can't tell me it's not affecting them negatively...

And I'll say it again...I remember as clearly as I possibly could....
A lot of innocent people died when HIV / AIDS got in the blood banks....a lot of people were dying....The newspapers were riddled with people dying from AIDS....

Today...the LGBTQ "progressive" activists celebrate "Pride"... every possible opportunity they get...they promote LGBTQ lifestyles....They tout Gay is O.K., Activists in Hollywood, Music Industry, Performing Arts, News Outlets...etc...etc...Politicians everywhere...President Obama pushed for LGBTQ in the Boy Scouts...while HIV / AIDS is increasing in 14 to 22 year old young men dramatically....highest % within boys or men who have sex with other boys or men....
Under Obama's changes to U.S. entry requirements, if you have AIDS you can not only enter U.S....you can possibly apply for political asylum...
it's an opening of the "floodgates"...Can anybody actually believe that more AIDS won't be spread?

What are the implications to our healthcare system?...the cost burdens?...everything?... and regarding other advancing illnesses like Spinal Meningitis?

In many places, as they did in Gorham Maine, they teach "safe" same sex education in public schools....and organizations promoting and enforcing LGBTQ lifestyles are encouraged within many public schools, like in Topsham, Maine.

I try to live my life much in a golden rule thought process...trying to treat others as I wish to be treated....and I act in response to what I have seen with my own eyes...or personally experienced, typically skeptical of what I hear 2nd hand, or what I read in the news....

No..I'm not overtly religious...but as with the Founders of our Great Nation...I'm know life is far more than just us...and I believe our Nation was founded within our Founder's believing within and having the outstanding support of Divine Providence....

I hate to see the racial divide and tensions increasing in America...the purposeful divisiveness & hate mongering perpetrated for cheap political activist or financial gain...It's tragic...
In my own personal experience, some of the best friends and trusted associates I've ever had in my life are of "African", "Jamaican", "Black" or "Spanish" descent...
I look at a human's character...not at their physical appearance...and I've been blessed to know a number of fine human beings...of all sorts of races and backgrounds...and hopefully I'll be blessed with more of those opportunities in the future.

I certainly believe in our Founding Document and our Constitution....and I believe in Freedom and Liberty as being our Right and as being Precious to hold...
I don't want to tell other people how they should live...generally....I believe as long as they are not hurting anybody or affecting anybody detrimentally....they have the right to do what they want...that's their business...that's not mine...
If people treat me with regard...I will treat them accordingly...I don't go around asking people if they're straight or gay...or trying to pry in to their sex life...
If people act like a normal human being to me...I'll reciprocate....

If two people believe they want to live together...that's their right...if they can find a religion to "marry" them...that's their right...(within legal age requirements),

But when people or LGBTQ activists purposely try to force an agenda that doesn't correlate to the basic elements of Life itself, that doesn't correlate to supporting Life itself, that doesn't correlate with the birds and the bees, that doesn't correlate with the word Posterity...that Posterity word that was utilized within our Constitution...that word that means the Future of our Society for us and for the future generations to come...that shows to acknowledge, accept and approve lifestyles that have caused such pain and anguish within ours and others societies....and to legally mandate, force and enforce the acceptance of such lifestyles upon people who don't believe in those lifestyles or who don't accept the morality of such lifestyles...who believe such lifestyles are counter to our civilization or society...or to God or Divine Providence....

I'm sorry....to me...that is wrong....it's unacceptable....and I will not accept it....and I will fight against it....and if that makes me a Bigot...so be it....

Our National Debt:

The Obama administration has continued to increase our National Economic Debt,
to record levels of over $19 TRILLION Dollars - See Below
http://www.usdebtclock.org/

The United States Federal Tax Revenue for 2013, was $2,712,000,000,000.
For 2014, it is expected to be $3,033,600,000,000

What does that mean?. It means that it will take over 5 years of the entire income of the U.S. government to remove that debt. Not including paying for normal ongoing operational expenses.
That is the equivalent of an indidual owing 5 to 6 years worth of their entire salary or family income, on their credit card, and still having to pay the monthly mortgage and food bills...

As that homeowner what would you do?

Instantly, the Government should stop adding further to that debt. Cut back on all non-critical expenses. No more deficit spending. No raising the debt ceiling. A balanced yearly budget to start.

But on February 11, 2014...The U.S. House of "Representatives" voted 221 to 201, with all but 2 of the Democrats voting Yes, alongside 28 Republicans, including John Boehner, current Speaker of the House,
having voted to raise the Government's borrowing limit, without any conditions.

Basic Economic Policies:

During the Chrysler commercial that was aired during the 2012 super bowl halftime,
Spokesperson Clint Eastwood narrated the commercial's poignant, dramatic, compelling lines:

"It's halftime - Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half."
"It's halftime in America, too. People are out of work and they're hurting. And they're all wondering what they're going to do to make a comeback. And we're all scared, because this isn't a game."
"The people of Detroit know a little something about this. They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again."
"I've seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of downturns in my life - times when we didn't understand each other. seems that we've lost our heart at times. When the fog of division, discord, and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead."
"But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right, and acted as one. cause that's what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can't find a way then we'll make one."
"All that matters now is what's ahead. How do we come from behind? How do we come together? And, how do we win?"
"Detroit's showing us it can be done. And, what's true about them is true about all of us."
"This country can't be knocked out with one punch - We get right back up again - and when we do the worlds going to hear the roar of our engines."
"Yeah - it's halftime America - and our second half is about to begin"

It caused me to pay attention, and I'm sure of many people, but sadly thereafter I became aware - shocked is a better word - both by my lack of it's awareness and by it's happening - that the once mighty Chrysler corporation, an American icon, a legend, a major component within the building of the Arsenal of Democracy that helped save the world during World War II from the most inconceivable tyranical oppression, genocide and murder.

That this corporation, The Chrysler corporation, the corporation that had manufactured my first car, the corporation that innovated the hemi engine, torsion bar suppension and electronic ignition, was now fully controlled by Italy's Fiat corporation, the corporation that made those cute little sports cars, that company's name that once manufactured the guns and planes in support of Bennito Mussolini and his cronies that helped back Hitler's war machine.

What had our government done and how had they allowed this disgrace to happen - especially when Billions of American taxpayer dollars were involved?.

That Chrysler corporation was originally bailed out with loan guarantees by the U.S. Government when Lee Iacocca championed the cause to help save the icon, and back then while America pitched in.
Shortly after the Chrysler "K" cars and other products rolled out that helped save the company. Not long after Chrysler absorbed AMC and within attained it's Jeep brand. Chrysler was back. For real.
But then something went wrong...in what was originally proposed as a joint venture with Daimler, which was questionable anyway at best, and things flipped and in 1998 Daimler managed to take control of Chrysler.
Daimler held it until 2007 when it sold 80% of it's interest to an American Investment Group Cerburus.
Somewhere between then and 2009, fiat acquired an interest.
Now in July of 2011 - before that halftime commercial - Fiat purchased the balance of what it needed to have controlling interest in Chrysler...and they purchased those shares from the American government under the Barack Obama administration.

I have read as the Democrats proudly proclaimed this as such a great deal...how our government under the Obama administration had now helped market the shares of the stock it had acquired during the American bailout of Chrysler, to Fiat, and how proud they were that they had now secured this deal...
I then read how certain Republican's bantered and chirped in about how terrible it was that Chrysler was probably using money somehow involved with the Bailout in producing the Clint Eastwood commercial that had proudly proclaimed Chryslers tenacity...
But that commercial mentioned not a word of Fiat...did it...and the Republican's just couldn't find any wrong in selling the company to Fiat...just in the possible use of 10 million dollars making that commercial.
Somehow, neither the Democrats nor Republicans could find the wrong in selling that company to Fiat...giving up the controlling interest of Chrysler to Fiat... Using American taxpayer dollars to help save a corporation, a U.S. Icon, a corporation involved within our proudest Military history, and then selling that corporations controlling interest to a foreign concern...and the fact that this can and has happened in our Country today, that this was allowed, or promoted or cheered by any members of either or both parties of our Government...
it was accomplished by the actions of the Obama administration, and haunted us within the marketing's deception and betrayal...

Did anybody in Our Government think of an employee owned / employee stock ownership plan for Chrysler's employees...Maybe helping the long term potential of Americans?. You know, the American taxpayers who paid for that bailout?.

From the recent bailouts insurance companies(AIG) and the banking industry who helped cause much of the current economic tragedy in America...the lack of morality of the stock market and within much of today's corporate makeup running our industries...companies like G.E., paying no U.S. income taxes, while moving much of it's manufacturing overseas...having total disregard for it's employees and America, exhibiting only one concern, maximizing shareholder profits, while providing further for the destruction of our capacity and the hampering of possibility and hope for our youth... G.E. recently announced it was moving it's headquarters for it's nuclear medicine X-Ray - MRI division to China, and then "Obama names GE chief Jeffrey Immelt to head his economic recovery advisory panel"

Clint Eastwood realized something was going wrong with Obama's workings, and Mr. Eastwood decided to support Mitt Romney for President.
While speaking to that infamous chair, he became a little hesitant for a moment, and he said this near the end of his speech:

"I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we -- we own this country.
We -- we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours. And -- so -- they are just going to come around and beg for votes every few years.
It is the same old deal. But I just think it is important that you realize, that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go."

That was great...prolific...and right on target...extremely poignantly.

Our Representatives should be helping us rebuild America. Not giving away Our Country's assets...nor helping the insurance industry crooks and banking mega millionaires rebuild their lairs.

Future Economic Stimulus:

There is nothing unjust with Our Country or Government, federal or local, trying to help preserve it's greatest industrial or business assets, nor of preserving or increasing the employment offered to American Citizens by these concerns. nor of helping beckoning small businesses, or emerging possible giants... When businesses survive and grow in America, so does it and it's citizens.

Help can be technology transfer, or business advancement loan gaurantees, help with investing in long term energy solutions, exporting assistance, etc. just to name a few.

Tariffs, inherently a form of restraint of free trade, should only be utilized in the most severely imbalanced trading situations.

All economic stimulus should be to companies that do the predominance of their manufacture in the United States of America, and subsequently hiring and offering jobs and employment to American Citizens. The SBA, NASA technology utilization, various financial or technical assistance, investment structuring assistance, etc., should all be applied only to companies actively trying to advance their operations within America. Period.

Fair Taxation and Government Revenue

All taxes should be of a flat type income tax, on overall gross income or gross revenue, not on profits.
Businesses and Individuals should have a minimum income poverty level, and neither a company nor individuals should be required to pay income taxes below that level.

If a company or person makes, sells or generates $200,000.000.00 of revenue coming in through their front doors, it pays a flat % of that. If a person makes $200,000.00 in income they pay a flat % of that.

The Taxation's fair purposes of course being within the consent of those the Government is for, being the People or Citizens, to provide the services required by those people to maintain a positive, productive and safe society

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence[note 1] and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

And yes, Congress should never forget the statement in Our U.S. Declaration of Independence...
One of the sentiments of Revolution infused within our Nations Founding - "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:"

Flat Taxation Basic Calculations:

Gross Domestic Product is the total market value of all final goods and services that are produced in the U.S. economy in one year.
Final goods and services - We only count final products ready to be consumed, NOT products used to make other products.
So a car will be counted in the GDP but the steel used to make the car is not counted separately.
Why? Because the value of the car already reflects the value of the steel, rubber, plastic,etc. that goes into it.
Also, the U.S. GDP counts only those goods and services produced in the physical borders of the United States

The U.S. gross domestic product 2013 total - no deductions - BEA - U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis - $16,803.0 billion

The entire federal income in 2013 was $2,712,000,000,000.00.
$16,803,000,000,000.00 2013 Gross Domestic Product - no deductions - BEA
$1,035,000,000,000.00 deducting for personal poverty level of $30,000.00
= $15,768,000,000,000

$2,712,000,000,000.00 would represent 17.19% of $15,768,000,000,000.00

So, that would equate to a 17.19% income tax for all companies and for all people, excluding
approx 15% of the 230 million eligible voters having a personal income below $30,000.00 annually.

That's just a very, very rough start, though, because there are items missing from GDP, including numbers from the underground economy, and leisure.
There are also other items that need to be clarified...
and unlike the calculation intent within the GDP to not double count, only counting final goods and services...
Income taxes don't only occur at the "final goods" stage.

When a hamburger is sold, income taxes would be applied to the entity selling the entire hamburger...on it's entire sales price...
When the meat, bun, ketchup and pickles are sold to the maker of the hamburgers, the entities supplying those items would pay
income taxes on the entire sales price of those items...
When the wheat was sold to the entity making the bun, the entity selling the wheat would pay income taxes on the entire sales price of the wheat...

With those indications, a federal flat rate income tax, applied to both businesses and individuals to achieve the currently required yearly revenue, would certainly appear to be less than 17%...possibly as low as 8%...

That's certainly worth taking a very serious look in to, isn't it?.

Fair enough?

What about Estate Taxes?
The IRS actually states on it's website that "The Estate Tax is a tax on your right to transfer property at your death"

Excuse me?

When a human being works and builds their personal estate, paying taxes on their income all along that road of life...when that human being reaches the end of that journey, and has provided within their last will and testament to leave the remnants of their estate to whom they so desire, what kind of an acting government body, what kind of moral character would believe that it is entitled to take a share from that estate?...to reap harvest upon the death of that member of it's society?...to tax their right to transfer property at their death?... What is that? Our current "representatives of redistribution's" last chance For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent?
Certainly that's not representative of the moral character, values and reasoning that founded America, is it?.

Internet Sales Tax: Stop trying to boggle the workings of e-commerce. Worry about taxing on the income side of the spectrum...where taxes should be collected, anyway, not on turning every small internet seller into representatives for state taxing authorities.

Local Property Taxes - Education segment:

There should be a point where people who have paid school taxes for their lives within their long term home ownership, being part of and contributing to their community and helping build such, that upon reaching a determined minimum retirement age, they should no longer be held responsible for paying the school tax segment or portion of local property taxes on their primary personal residence during their retirement years, should they continue living within their primary personal residence, while living within fixed or limited income. Not transferable.
The long term goal should be to remove Education portion of Real Estate / Property taxes and to place this taxation for education where it belongs, within income / gross income / revenue.
Property taxes should only provide for directly critical required services regarding the real estate purposes and inhabitants, town officials if not volunteer, developing and applying regulations, building codes, services including police, fire, ems, town road crews, etc., refuse could be private or town, public sewer and water would be included if utilized by the real estate, within reasonably representative property valuation and burden allocation.

This RINO post was originally posted before the election of Donald Trump. Of course it has to now be updated...because whether or not he proceeds, despicably, to be the most corrupt lying deceitful buffoon who attempted to defraud our nation...or he becomes the finest, most respectable leader that we could possibly ever want within a critical juncture in our Nation's history...
In my estimation, either way, the Grand Old Republican Party has been willfully and tragically destroyed, and in the last few days of 2016, I have unenrolled from the party, and no longer want to have anything to do with it.
I am and will always be a proud Lincoln and Reagan Supporter...and I'm still proud of George W Bush for helping keep our Nation together after 911...and for invading Iraq...a responsibility that our Nation had to humanity itself, to rectify the evil that was being done by Saddam Hussein...So you could safely say I was a proud supporter of Conservative Republicans...having been registered as a Conservative in New York and then as a Republican in Maine.
This Year, from my twitter "activism" to .collecting signatures door to door, to the caucuses and the primaries.....from rallies and phone calls...to donations and labor support...I (and my family) gave our all to help Republican Posturing and Conservatism...in local races and nationally...We whittled down those first 17 Republicans...and even reviewed others who couldn't seem to break through to those original debates...yes I questioned the more Conservative, Jindal, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio, etc...and although there were others we would have comfortably supported, we eventually chose to support Ted Cruz, for his actual record in the Senate.
Nationally, the debates and campaigning became very dirty...Trump did his best to destroy each and every reasonably conservative candidate...When Carson was close...the Enquirer chirped in...siting Carson's Malpractice...his "pathological" statement...He did everything he could to destroy him and then he blamed Ted Cruz for that...Then Trump did his best to destroy Ted Cruz...He cut in to Jeb Bush...and His Brother siding with Nancy Pelosi's viewpoint...He tag teamed with Chris Christie and denied Marco Rubio's honor and dignity...while Chris Christie was actually bald faced lying...Trump's mercenaries...bullies and outright liars...Roger Stone and Paul Manafort...of Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly fame...Roger Stone nicknamed the "Dirty Trickster" years ago...along with Alex Jone's infolies... The National Enquirer (or American Media Inc) executives and board of directors being best friends with Trump...and with Chris Christie...in an encircling questions of impropriety...One of Donald Trump's former casino managers on their board...
Yes...the Ben Carson Malpractice and the Ted Cruz affair scandals brought upon in the National Enquirer...right in line with Trump's basic modus operandi... Strange happenings with Megyn Kelly...first he berates her...bleeding...and she's disgusted...then he gives her "flowers"...and she's smitten...
At the Maine Republican Convention...and the National Republican Convention, Trump followers, numerous bullies were intimidating individuals who had supported Cruz...or others...it was filmed and documented... Trump's operatives ran a giant campaign against Ted Cruz telling people he wasn't eligible to run for President, the operatives were posting movies of "scholars" contesting Cruz's eligibility...
then came the enquirer smears...
There's more and more questions of Russian influences...with Manafort and Trump himself...hacking...etc...but even without any evidence in that regard...
Trumps campaign became the most dishonest dirty pool smear campaign directed toward honest Republican competitors...Conservative Republican candidates that had actually fought for our right to
keep and bear arms...while Donald Trump was giving the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton financial funding and support. Yes...Hillary and Bill actually attended Trump's wedding to Melania...
We even witnessed them...(who is them I'm not 100% sure)...but not allowing Evan McMullin nor Gary Johnson to be in the Presidential debates...
The fact that the Republican's who voted for Trump....including all the "spiritual leadership" that thought nothing of these dirty deeds...thought nothing of the unfairness or deception... thought nothing of every attempt by Trump to publicly destroy decent human beings...people who were trying to work toward achieving Conservative Goals in America...that thought nothing of all the comments Trump had made disparaging woman...or how he had cheated on his wife...or defrauded investors...or atlantic city...or contractors....Trump's statements to New York Values...abortion...same sex marriage...health care...etc....
The fact that none of that made a damn bit of difference to all the Republicans who so easily jumped on the Trump Train...won't allow me to continue supporting the Republican Party...

Both Parties should be ashamed of themselves...The Democrats...for trying to undermine the very morality and essential elements of our Nation and Civilization...and the Republicans...for supporting the stealing of a chance at having an honest, forthright loyal supporter of our Nation's Constitution...and the principles and aspirations outlined within our Nation's very founding Declaration...for our Nation's Leadership...at this critical juncture in our Nation's History....The kind of Leadership that we could all look up to...the kind we'd be proud to tell our Sons and Daughters...that's the type of person you should grow to become....the kind of soul....the kind of spirit America Stands for...
(yeah...like a Ronald Reagan or an Abraham Lincoln.)
I'm sorry...but the Republican party left me...forsaking morality....and I don't want to be associated with them anymore.

I guess we'll all see what becomes of Trump's presidency...

But in the mean time, maybe it's time for trying to find out the answers for what George Washington suggested...that party politics would be
the downfall of our Nation...and maybe we can all find the ways to work around party politics, cronyism and fraud to establish new, uncompromised Leadership with integrity.

In Process...but you'll get the point

The Republican Party is facing a magnanimous fight against the scourge of Left Wing Marxist Socialist "Progressive" Democrats, the likes and agenda of Barack Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders...funded by people and left wing "progressive" organizations like Cecile Richards, George Soros and the entertainment industry's poison like Madonna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga...etc...etc....

There are Conservative Republicans who are standing up for the challenge with the morality of the Republican Party....the morality of Freedom and Liberty...the morality that supports our country's beliefs and it's blessing, as documented within our Founding Document, the Declaration of Independence, and within our United States Constitution....

But there are those Republicans, who have lost their way...these Republicans in Name Only, (RINO's) have thrown away their Integrity, they have compromised their Morality, they have compromised their Sole Responsibility to act as Representatives of Their Constituents, in their attempts to "reach across the aisle" as they claim, in attempts to appease people who are betraying our Nation, who are undermining our Constitution, who are undermining and diluting our Morality and weakening our General Welfare, who are attempting to change the face of America by promoting the admittance of refugees, many who beckon from regions that despise America and traditional American culture, funding their beginnings here with American tax dollars..to appease those who are undermining the future for us and for our Children by Saddling them with a Despicable, Unfathomable Burden of Debt, signing on or compromising to the wholly destructive agenda of the likes of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Bernie Sanders, etc....Yes, former speaker of the house, John Boehner...having no intestinal fortitude nor seemingly any desire to fight for Republican ideals ...and of today's speaker of the house Paul Ryan....
who comfortably folded his hand, dropping his chance to actually fight Obama's agenda within directly fighting the budget....

Actions like Mr. Ryans .... and the RINOS caving in to the "progressive" Democrats wishes...are devastating the potential of the Republican Party, to regain or maintain the effective capacity to stem the terribly destructive, "progressive" marxist socialist left wing tide.

Do you compromise with a Rapist?...how about a Murderer?....Then stop this nonsense...Stop this betrayal of RINO "representatives"...Stop them from compromising with Traitors....There's no rational nor reasonable excuse.

It is our duty, as Conservative Republicans, to do everything we can to help prevent the demise of the Republican Party...The Party of the Morality of Freedom, The Party of Abraham Lincoln, The Party of Ronald Reagan, The Party of the President responsible for the abolishment of Slavery, The Party of the President that many credit with the demise of the USSR, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics...the Party of those great incredible beacons of Freedom and Liberty...The Party that swore to uphold our U.S. Constitution....The Party that has fought against the wastes and abridgments of our Freedoms by Democrats....

In 1973 we endured our Country's first major Arab / OPEC Oil Embargo.

During the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an embargo against the United States in retaliation for the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military and to gain leverage in the post-war peace negotiations.
Oil prices skyrocketed...cars and trucks stood still waiting in line to buy fuel...it was a great wake up call for America...it was time to...

The news soon became obsessed with Watergate....Nixon resigned...

President Ford was still under the shadow of Watergate...

During the Carter administration's foreign policy - America lost Iran as an ally...

In the 80's During the Reagan administration, there were expanded efforts to experiment with alcohol fuels and during that time The Bank of America and the state of California were experimenting with alcohol powered vehicle fleets.
The experiments worked very well, but alcohol fuels had not become practical regarding cost.

George H.W. Bush's administration will certainly be remembered for the U.S. actions in the Gulf war, responsible for stopping Saddam Hussein from taking over Kuwait. But tragically, Saddam Hussein was allowed to remain in power.

Bill Clinton's administration had made numerous positive statements regarding re vamping the U.S. Department of Energy, but apparently those efforts lost priority somewhere under the pile of paperwork and Miss Lewinski...

George W. Bush's administration was very much involved helping the Country get through 9-11 - holding Al Qaeda's feet to the fire and taking correct care of Saddam Hussein.
The administration's energy policy had some hopes for alternative energy, but had very much re-opened the doors to expanded off shore drilling and expanding development of nuclear power plants.

Now, for the Obama administration. The Obama administration is generally held responsible for the money lost to Solyndra loan gaurantees, and other alternative energy concerns in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Not that supporting alternative energy concerns is at all wrong, it's just that applications for loan guarantees and business plans should actually be read before authorizing multi-million dollar loan guarantees..

The Obama administration in 2010 also authorized 8.3 Billion dollars in loan guarantees provided within questionable use of the facilities of the energy policy act of 2005, for the first new Nuclear Power plants to be built in the U.S., which are to be of design and manufacture by Westinghouse Electric, the now wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba, a Japanese manufacturer, while purporting the new reactors offered new or significantly improved technologies, and as unfathomable as it is, knowingly without having a place to entomb and store spent fuel.
Then, after the Fukishima disaster, the Obama administration announced 450 million dollars in funding to help private industry engineer and develop small modular nuclear reactors, and continued multi-million dollar funding of nuclear power plant advancement efforts.

All around America, in different states, there are cache's of spent nuclear waste, waiting for U.S. DOE to remove the materials and bring them to permanent safe storage.

From the Union of Concerned Scientists:

"In 1982, the United States Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA), which made the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) responsible for siting, building, and operating an underground storage facility for nuclear waste, and for taking ownership of the waste and transporting it away from reactor sites. The NWPA created a Nuclear Waste Fund to pay for the repository by charging reactor operators a fee on the waste they produced. Because of the federal government's failure to meet its legal obligation under the NWPA, a number of utilities that own nuclear reactors have successfully sued the federal government for breaching its contracts with the companies by failing to open a facility that could accept fuel by 1998 in exchange for collecting fees for the Nuclear Waste Fund. As a result of these lawsuits, the federal government has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the utilities for costs associated with storing waste at their sites long after the government was supposed to take title to it and ship it off site. "

From the Washington State Attorney General

"In 2002, Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the nation's sole current repository site for deep geologic disposal of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
In January 2010, President Obama, Secretary Chu and DOE determined they would withdraw with prejudice the application submitted by DOE to the NRC for a license to construct a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for high-level nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel.
Also that month, President Obama, Secretary Chu and DOE chose to to unilaterally and irrevocably terminate the Yucca Mountain repository process mandated by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 10101-10270. "

"On April 13, 2010, Washington filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to prevent the federal Department of Energy (DOE) from irrevocably terminating the Yucca Mountain radioactive waste repository by withdrawing "with prejudice" its license application for the repository. "
End quotes from Washington State Attorney General...

*** Please pay particular attention to these dates:

May 13, 2009 | Press Releases - http://www.reid.senate.gov/ Washington, D.C. - Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following statement on President Barack Obama's appointment of Commissioner Gregory Jaczko as Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"I am pleased that President Obama has appointed such a qualified individual to lead the commission. Greg's entire career has been dedicated to applying science to public policy. His work in Congress and at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has improved the safety of nuclear power plants and is based on his demonstrated commitment to bringing all stakeholders to the table.
"Having worked with Dr. Jaczko I know he will continue working toward a safe and effective nuclear energy policy that leaves Nevada and the nation more secure."

"January 29, 2010
Presidential Memorandum -- Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY(excerpts)
SUBJECT: Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future
Expanding our Nation's capacity to generate clean nuclear energy is crucial to our ability to combat climate change, enhance energy security, and increase economic prosperity. My Administration is undertaking substantial steps to expand the safe, secure, and responsible use of nuclear energy. These efforts are critical to accomplishing many of my Administration's most significant goals.
An important part of a sound, comprehensive, and long-term domestic nuclear energy strategy is a well-considered policy for managing used nuclear fuel and other aspects of the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. Yet the Nation's approach, developed more than 20 years ago, to managing materials derived from nuclear activities, including nuclear fuel and nuclear waste, has not proven effective....."
Barack Obama

Then on February 16, 2010...Just one month after Obama had decided to pull the plug on Yucca Mountain...one month before filing the actual motion to withdraw it's licensing application....

From N.Y. Times - February 16, 2010 - "President Obama, speaking to an enthusiastic audience of union officials in Lanham, Md., on Tuesday, underscored his embrace of nuclear power as a clean energy source, announcing that the Energy Department had approved financial help for the construction of two nuclear reactors in Georgia."
"If the project goes forward, the reactors would be the first begun in the United States since the 1970s.
The announcement of the loan guarantee - $8.3 billion to help the Southern Company and two partners build twin reactors in Burke County, comes as the administration is courting Republican support for its climate and energy policies. "
end quote from N.Y. times.

Then on March 3, 2010, DOE filed a 15-page motion "to withdraw its pending license application for a permanent geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada."

So this is Obama and Cronies energy policy. The Obama administration started to try to permanently kill Nevada's Yucca mountain, obviously in some form of pandering cronyism or something to Nevada's famed Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid...
Then, whether or not you think that a national nuclear waste repository is right or fair for the residents or population of Nevada....which it very well might not be....
Then in the same breath of trying to kill Yucca mountain irrevocably, He's giving the first new nuclear plant to be constructed in the U.S. for over 30 years over 8.3 billion in loan guarantees...and giving it the go ahead.

That's Obama energy policy in a nutshell. Ludicrous Cronyism, Politicking and shortsighted insanity.

We still don't have a place to put spent nuclear waste.

The Obama administration is trying to kill Yucca Mountain in Nevada. The Democratic Senate Majority Leader is conveniently from Nevada, and the Obama administration is still promoting for further nuclear energy development in America.

Maybe Obama is planning to market all the spent fuel laying around the Country to Bill Gate's Terrapower - for Obama Supporter Gate's visions of traveling wave reactors or their next marketable name for a reactor type...but they'll still be more easily remembered as Desktop Dirtybombs...or maybe Win-Dose Plutoniums'...

From the U.S. NRC:

"
Source of Plutonium:
Today's light water reactors-used to make commercial power in the United States-create plutonium when the uranium in their fuel fissions. Some of the neutrons released by uranium interact with other uranium atoms to form plutonium. Some of the plutonium itself fissions-part of the chain reaction of splitting atoms that is the basis of nuclear power. Any plutonium that does not fission before the fuel is removed from the reactor remains in the spent fuel. Some countries reprocess spent fuel to extract plutonium and uranium, which can be mixed and made into new nuclear fuel.
Plutonium in the Body:
Most people will never come into contact with plutonium. But for scientists and engineers that have worked with it, it is important to know about the potential health effects. The most common form of plutonium is plutonium oxide-a compound of plutonium bonded with oxygen. In this form, plutonium does not easily dissolve. Plutonium oxide's impact on human health depends on how it enters the body. If someone eats or drinks it, a large percentage will be eliminated rapidly as waste. If plutonium oxide is inhaled, some of it remains in the lungs. Between 20 and 60 percent can remain, depending upon the size of the particles and other factors. The rest is eliminated from the body within several days. Of the plutonium remaining in the lungs, about half will be removed each year. Some is excreted, some lodges in the lymph nodes, and a very small amount migrates, settling in other organs but mainly in bones. If plutonium oxide gets into an open wound, it may move directly into bones and other organs, mainly the liver.
The next most common form is plutonium nitrate-a compound of plutonium, oxygen and nitrogen. This chemical dissolves somewhat more readily than the oxide. Plutonium nitrate behaves much like plutonium oxide in the body but moves out of the lungs more rapidly.
Research shows plutonium can be chemically toxic and contribute to tumor development. But the most common form of plutonium has more radiological than chemical toxicity.
Production and Disposition
Over 1,600 metric tons of plutonium has been produced worldwide, some for weapons use and most of the rest in electricity production. A commercial power reactor creates plutonium in its many isotopic forms, including Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241, and Pu-242. This is known as "reactor-grade" plutonium. In contrast, "weapons-grade" plutonium is almost pure Pu-239 (over 90 percent). This form requires a specially designed and operated reactor. Plutonium production reactors operated by the U.S. government during the Cold War have all shut down.
With the end of the Cold War, the United States and the former Soviet Union began dismantling thousands of nuclear weapons. This work created a surplus of high enriched uranium and plutonium. To keep the surplus from falling into the wrong hands, the U.S. and Russia agreed to mix their plutonium with uranium to make mixed oxide (MOX) fuel for power reactors. Irradiating the "weapons-grade" plutonium in a commercial reactor makes it "reactor-grade" and no longer useful for weapons. There would be no reprocessing or subsequent reuse of the MOX spent fuel. It would be disposed in a deep geologic repository along with other high-level nuclear waste.
January 2014

" End of Quotes from U.S. NRC

Interesting - "It would be disposed in a deep geologic repository along with other high-level nuclear waste."

Anybody want to buy a bridge?....

What a terrible sin.

The Obama Administration is as twisted and screwed up as you could possibly get. Talk about speaking with a forked tongue, the left hand doesn't have a clue to what the right hand is lying about.

So over 40 years have gone by since the first major Arab - OPEC Oil Embargo...and we still don't have an honest, effective U.S. Energy Policy in the interests of Our Country's People.

The United States needs new compelling industry desperately.
Our Energy requirements, including distributed Electricity, Heating, Cooling and Transportation requirements and necessary equipments offer much potential for possible industry in the U.S.
Environmentally responsible fuels, alcohol, tidal, over energy electrical and magnetic possibilities, hydroelectric advancements including advanced magnetics, ultra high temperature incineration for non recyclable wastes powering steam turbines, solar hot water tubes and solar photovoltaics, many items having the potential to operate directly in the hands of individual homeowners and smaller companies, achieving true energy ownership and independence. Many possibilities not providing the dangers of radioactive half lives of hundreds if not thousands of years, or the potential to be utilized within devastating terrorist purposes, including just within targets.

Support financing of individuals and smaller companies seeking this independence. It is time to stop promoting Nuclear power plants. Chernobyl and Fukushima have scarred many...there's no place to put the waste, many people feel "not in my backyard" and you can't blame them, there are still stockpiles of nuclear waste around America which are nothing but possibilities for problems.

Farmers are typically struggling. Yearly cycles, inclement weather, new disease and advancing bugs and pests...help find better fuel crops and to enhance fermentation.
Stop paying farmers to burn crops to support prices
Help them sustain diverse lucrative fuel crops instead, including oil seeds, etc., wherever it's possible. We have to reduce our dependence on OIL. Domestic or Foreign, Period. (preliminary only)

Marriage, Society, Morality and Character:

Before wriggling itself into office, The Obama administration was detailing it's platform as being only supportive of marriage between a Man and a Woman, BUT they were actually working behind the scenes, developing and garnering the support - taking on the causes of the LGBTQ "army".

LGBT or LGBTQ are the acronyms commonly used today representing Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Queer.

This "army" represents a very highly organized effort by groups including GLAAD, LAMBDA, Marriage Equality, the HRC "Human Rights Campaign" and members of the NEA - (the National Endowment for the Arts), entertainers such as Madonna, Elton John, Melissa Etheridge, Ricky Martin, Katy Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, Lady Gaga, Ellen DeGeneres, Jane Lynch, Rosie O'Donnell, etc. Newspapers and Magazines such as the Village Voice and the Advocate and political activists such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who funded same sex marriage initiatives in numerous states.

Why are they pushing so hard in their efforts trying to circumvent the basic, simple, natural logic within life's sustainability?

Considering the Williams Institute findings (which is actually an LGBTQ supportive think tank at UCLA school of law) - regarding how many people are LGBT? - Their finding that 3.5% of adults in the U.S. as LGB and .3% as transgender...or 1.8% are Bi-Sexual and 1.7% Lesbian and Gay.
These numbers correlate closely to a similar Gallup organization pole regarding the same question,
and represent that less than 2% of the U.S. population or less than 1 in 50 people consider themselves "bi-sexual" and less than 2% of the U.S. population or less than 1 in 50 people consider themselves "gay".

It would seem that the tail has been wagging the dog recently, and that very apparently there are a good deal of unconscionable people out there trying as hard as they can to promote LGBTQ lifestyles and steadfastly working to increase their LGBTQ "army's" membership numbers.

These efforts are drastically affecting the morality and character of the Country's institutions, regarding marriage, available health insurance coverage and it's costs, constitutional law, educational and instructional policies, school programs, public television programming, etc. and are threatening the health, lives and future welfare of Our Society.

There are of course extremely distinct differences between what some people might choose to do within their personal freedoms and what a society chooses to sanction within it's laws or licensing to maintain for and to promote the health, safety and well being of it's citizens - insuring and protecting for the society's overall future.

Same Sex Marriage, either the union of a man with another man, or the union of a woman with another woman, of and by and within that union, is markedly without the inherent capacity to naturally procreate, to further create generations of life, and very simply can not naturally offer any potential within itself for future society, and can only naturally promote for hereditary self extinction for members involved within that union.

Clearly, promoting and providing for hereditary extinction was not within the mindset expressed within the following words of Our Country's Founders:

"and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

Considering the most essential basic natural element of Life - Procreation - within the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God and of certain unalienable Rights...Their efforts maintained the utmost degree of support for Life's highest aspirations. Very Clearly.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

posterity = all future generations of people.

Our society in good conscience to itself and maintaining within it's founding aspirations can not and must not sanction or support lifestyles that do not provide for any naturally inherent potential for creating future generations.

Please stay aware of and be conscious of the data and information established and reported by the United States C.D.C. (Center for Disease Control) below, as well:

The following information is quoted from http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/gender/msm/facts/index.html:
" Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (referred to here as MSM) are more severely affected by HIV than any other group in the United States.
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the United States population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV.
From 2008 to 2010, HIV infections among young black/African American MSM increased 20%.
In 2010, MSM accounted for 63% of estimated new HIV infections in the United States and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. From 2008 to 2010, new HIV infections increased 22% among young (aged 13-24) MSM and 12% among MSM overall.
In 2011, in the United States, MSM accounted for 79% of 38,825 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older and 62% of 49,273 estimated diagnoses among all persons receiving an HIV diagnosis that year.
Sexual risk behaviors account for most HIV infections in MSM. Anal sex without a condom (unprotected anal sex) has the highest risk for passing HIV during sex. It is also possible to become infected with HIV through oral sex, though the risk is significantly less than for anal or vaginal sex. For sexually active MSM, the most effective ways to prevent HIV are to limit or avoid anal sex, or for MSM who do have anal sex, to correctly use a condom every time. Gay men are at increased risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, and CDC recommends that all sexually active MSM be tested annually for these infections.
...end quotes from the U.S. C.D.C. site

With those U.S. C.D.C. statistics fresh in your thoughts, please consider the following:

During the Obama administration's time in office, in May, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) adopted a regulation ending the ban on HIV-positive visitors and immigrants. In September of 2011, the Obama administration ended the don't ask, don't tell policy in the U.S. Military, later in May of 2012, President Obama came out in support of Same Sex Marriage, and in August that year He gave his support for allowing Gays in the Boy scouts, and than later in 2013 President Obama urged the Supreme Court to strike down the defense of Marriage Act, in continued fervent support of homosexual / LGBTQ activists and their Same Sex Lifestyles - Same Sex Marriage agenda.

It is unfathomable and unconscionable within any form of consideration to human life and health, having the U.S. C.D.C. information and data above readily at hand, that elected officials such as Barack Obama, and countless Democratic "representatives" and now seemingly more and more Republican "RINO" members of Congress and the U.S. Senate are signing on to the LGBTQ Same Sex Lifestyle and Marriage agenda, as well as people in the entertainment industry that have the constant attention of millions of the Country's youth within their sphere of influence. Instead of choosing to use the potential of their influence to help prevent tragic lifestyle choices and to help prevent the tragic spread of disease and death they instead choose to promote lifestyles that have unequivocally proven to promote the spread of disease and death and can only serve to promote individual's hereditary extinction, if not of societal extinction.

Amfar, the foundation for AIDS research - reports "Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 75 million people have contracted HIV and nearly 36 million have died of HIV related causes."
Amfar issued an "issue brief" in July of 2010, entitled "MSM and the Global HIV / AIDS epidemic - Assessing PEPFAR and Looking Forward" - within, Amfar reports "This issue brief provides a detailed analysis of PEPFAR's response to MSM in eight countries: China, Cote d'lvoire, Guatemala, Jamaica, Malawi, Ukraine, Vietnam and Zambia." "several overarching themes emerge from the analysis - High infection rates - Where estimates are available - and often little research has been conducted - HIV prevalence among MSM is very high. In all eight countries reviewed, HIV prevalence is significantly higher among MSM than the general population".

In a 2013 report "The Resurgent Global HIV Epidemic among Men who have Sex with Men" - Professor Kevin Fenton, MD, PHD, National Director of Health and Wellbeing, Public Health England, details within his collective report that "HIV epidemic spread among MSM is occurring in both high, middle and low incomes settings", "MSM HIV epidemics are underway in Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe/FSU and Africa." , "Gay and other MSM bear disproportionate burden of the HIV epidemic in virtually every country that reports reliable HIV data.", "MSM were 19 times more likely to have HIV than the general population", "the high probability of transmission per act through receptive anal intercourse has a central role in explaining the disproportionate disease burden in MSM.", and "Estimated 68% of HIV transmissions among MSM is sex with main partners."

The costs of this disease, in the human souls lost already and those living affected by or with HIV - AIDS, in the continuing physical and emotional toll and the vast burden in dollars and cents has been and will continue to be a relentless excessive tragedy, especially when elected officials and manipulative, irresponsible, unconscionable entertainers continue to promote the LGBTQ "army's" agenda, promoting for government sanctioning of Same Sex Lifestyles and Same Sex Marriages.

Many of the LGBTQ "army" groups or supporters typically consider statements that individuals or organizations make that are not in complete accord to their radical LGBTQ "army's" Same Sex Lifestyles or of their agenda, to be "bigoted" or "hateful".
The LGBTQ supporters lash out at and label and attempt to harass and purposely discriminate against those individuals and organizations for voicing their honest opinions, for discussing or expressing their religious or spiritual beliefs and their personal viewpoints in regard to marriage, family and life, and within attempts to rationally bring to mind the unequivocal inherent health dangers within certain LGBTQ Same Sex Lifestyles and Sexual Practices or Behavior.
This psychological tyranny and ludicrous attempts of oppression provided through the LGBTQ "army's" supporter's retaliation and threats must not be tolerated, for any reason, anywhere, whatsoever.

The fact is the LGBTQ "army" and their supporters within vast activism and their attempts to promote their Same Sex Lifestyles and Same Sex Marriage agenda are promoting lifestyles that spread disease and cause countless deaths, that provide for certain hereditary extinction, that have the potential to destroy the potential futures of countless individuals and that purposely distort or obfuscate information that is readily available to help individuals, youth or adult alike, to make informed, prudent lifestyle choices and to afford them the capacity to maintain awareness and to prevent the further spread of disease and death within their lives and within our society.

It's time to hold the LGBTQ "army's" groups and their supporters responsible for their unconscionable self serving intent and to turn this tide of sheer madness around in the interests of the health and future of our society and for it's posterity.

Federal Government Elected and Appointed Officials (including Judicial) Are Required to Take and Swear to an Oath of Office.

Business Ethics and Morality Somehow, within our families and teaching institutions, from private and public schools to universities, within corporate training, within promoting the actual long term gains provided by promoted honest values and interests of corporate ethics and morality, we need to encourage getting back to ethics commensurate of people like William Durant and Walter Chrysler running our nation's corporations again, industry that builds America as well as build personal empires, and to discourage the shallowest, shortsighted corporate direction that regards their employees solely within spreadsheet numbers and philosophies that encourage offshore outsourcing instead of trying to dig in with everything they have to preserve and promote American Manufacturing and the citizens within. (preliminary only)
Modelez....Nabisco....Once our National Biscuit Company...Now a Disgrace to American Manufacturing... Graham Crackers made in Mexico... If America...as a nation...within it's corporations....if we can't make Graham Crackers in the USA...we should close our doors...shouldn't we?
But we can...it's just that some mostly college educated fools who operate American Businesses right now ... they don't understand anything about decency nor morality... nor about loyalty...nor about employing local employees and helping the communities where their original businesses beckoned from...nor the farms nor the farmers... nor of sustaining communities where employees purchase goods and services in America...and letting the places that formerly purchased their products...perish...
That's shortsightedness at it's finest....from the new owners of Nabisco...or Hersheys...or Johnson & Johnson...prove me wrong...but I haven't seen a Johnson & Johnson band aid or consumer first aid product Made in the USA for years...That's a sin....but there are other companies...like 3M's nexcare....making there products in USA. If you understand how terrible it is when you lose your job....or when your neighbor loses their's...Buy American and Buy Local whenever you can. Boycott the sell out companies....
Boycott the companies that would rather support Mexico or China instead of America...& help support the companies that are holding on trying to keep their businesses in the USA.
Some companies...like Mondelez...have thrown loyalty down the trash...Mondelez actually has a group of employees that formed screamdelez...http://screamdelez.org/ battling disgraceful labor practices within Mondelez's worldwide operations...
Mondelez jumped on the LGBTQ bandwagon trying to garner marketshare...while throwing away it's USA based manufacturing operations...and the employees within...That's Mondelez's business strategy...Sucker the "progressives" into buying your LGBTQ friendly cookies...while you wholesale layoff your USA staff and move your manufacturing overseas...and treat your loyal employees like crap....
Who was it who said "there's a sucker born every day"?
I don't allow Mondelez or Nabisco products in my home. There are better quality, reasonably affordable alternatives...made in USA.

The past few years has seen a tragic implementation of LGBTQ agenda over every facet of the entertainment industry.
Industry giants like Disney have, very apparently succumbed to this agenda....and a once fine family oriented enterprise
has seemed to become synonymous with teenage self-destruction and blatant disregard of traditionally positive family values by their
current and former employees.
Disney now owns and operates ABC network entertainment, which is now changing it's ABC Family channel moniker to "Freeform".
That's their new intended direction for programming. Wake up America!
Disney's recent track record is despicable, but they aren't the only one...the LGBTQ army is out in force...promoting LGBTQ lifestyles,
while 80,000,000 people have been inflicted with HIV/AIDS worldwide...and virtually half of them have PERISHED. (reasonably extrapolated from recent AMFAR data). It's a tragic worldwide epidemic...and it's number one major cause is being unconscionably PROMOTED by LGBTQ activists within their demands for acceptance and approval of MSM, man with man, man with boy or boy with boy same sex sexuality. It's a sickening Tragedy.

With all the attacks on Justice Kavanaugh, much brought on because of the concerns regarding roe v wade, I wanted to update this section with some good reports
1st: Ronald Reagan had written an anti abortion book...and spoken about adoption...

as appeared in the spring issue of human life review: https://www.humanlifereview.com/issue/spring-1983/
http://www.rectitudeusa.org/media/blogs/home/quick-uploads/p55/abortion%20and%20the%20conscience%20of%20the%20nation.pdf?mtime=1538806071

I've corrected my numbers of abortion in the U.S., there are over 500,000 SURGICAL ABORTIONS in the US alone, every year. If anybody tells you there's not that many abortions where it's not just a pill... they're lying... there's a half a million a year by processes that crush up and destroy human babies.

Welcome to the Abortion Party with Barack Obama and Cecile Richards...
Barack and Cecile sure seem happy at that fundraising event, don't they?. The look like they're just going out for a night on the town.

Center for Medical Progress and their video series:
http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/cmp/investigative-footage/
http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/human-capital/documentary-web-series/

Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation was written in 1983, by our Nation's President. How many babies lives have been destroyed
since his writing. How many human lives have been terribly and negatively affected by the scourge of abortion?.
When will we as a Nation... and civilization as an entire entity, wake up and put an end to this cruel and inhumane atrocity.
Abortion is not an acceptable form of birth control, it's a detriment to the value and respect of human life, morality and to peoples souls.

Ronald Reagan

THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade is a good time for us to pause and reflect. Our nationwide policy of abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy was neither voted for by our people nor enacted by our legislators—not a single state had such unrestricted abortion before the Supreme Court decreed it to be national policy in 1973. But the consequences of this judicial decision are now obvious: since 1973, more than 15 million unborn children have had their lives snuffed out by legalized abortions. That is over ten times the number of Americans lost in all our nation’s wars.

Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court’s result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right. Shortly after the Roe v. Wade decision, Professor John Hart Ely, now Dean of Stanford Law School, wrote that the opinion “is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.” Nowhere do the plain words of the Constitution even hint at a “right” so sweeping as to permit abortion up to the time the child is ready to be born. Yet that is what the Court ruled.

As an act of “raw judicial power” (to use Justice White’s biting phrase), the decision by the seven-man majority in Roe v. Wade has so far been made to stick. But the Court’s decision has by no means settled the debate. Instead, Roe v. Wade has become a continuing prod to the conscience of the nation.

Abortion concerns not just the unborn child, it concerns every one of us. The English poet, John Donne, wrote: “… any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life—the unborn—without diminishing the value of all human life. We saw tragic proof of this truism last year when the Indiana courts allowed the starvation death of “Baby Doe” in Bloomington because the child had Down’s Syndrome.

Many of our fellow citizens grieve over the loss of life that has followed Roe v. Wade. Margaret Heckler, soon after being nominated to head the largest department of our government, Health and Human Services, told an audience that she believed abortion to be the greatest moral crisis facing our country today. And the revered Mother Teresa, who works in the streets of Calcutta ministering to dying people in her world-famous mission of mercy, has said that “the greatest misery of our time is the generalized abortion of children.”

Over the first two years of my Administration I have closely followed and assisted efforts in Congress to reverse the tide of abortion-efforts of Congressmen, Senators and citizens responding to an urgent moral crisis. Regrettably, I have also seen the massive efforts of those who, under the banner of “freedom of choice,” have so far blocked every effort to reverse nationwide abortion-on-demand.

Despite the formidable obstacles before us, we must not lose heart. This is not the first time our country has been divided by a Supreme Court decision that denied the value of certain human lives. The Dred Scott decision of 1857 was not overturned in a day, or a year, or even a decade. At first, only a minority of Americans recognized and deplored the moral crisis brought about by denying the full humanity of our black brothers and sisters; but that minority persisted in their vision and finally prevailed. They did it by appealing to the hearts and minds of their countrymen, to the truth of human dignity under God. From their example, we know that respect for the sacred value of human life is too deeply engrained in the hearts of our people to remain forever suppressed. But the great majority of the American people have not yet made their voices heard, and we cannot expect them to—any more than the public voice arose against slavery—until the issue is clearly framed and presented.

What, then, is the real issue? I have often said that when we talk about abortion, we are talking about two lives—the life of the mother and the life of the unborn child. Why else do we call a pregnant woman a mother? I have also said that anyone who doesn’t feel sure whether we are talking about a second human life should clearly give life the benefit of the doubt. If you don’t know whether a body is alive or dead, you would never bury it. I think this consideration itself should be enough for all of us to insist on protecting the unborn.

The case against abortion does not rest here, however, for medical practice confirms at every step the correctness of these moral sensibilities. Modern medicine treats the unborn child as a patient. Medical pioneers have made great breakthroughs in treating the unborn—for genetic problems, vitamin deficiencies, irregular heart rhythms, and other medical conditions. Who can forget George Will’s moving account of the little boy who underwent brain surgery six times during the nine weeks before he was born? Who is the patient if not that tiny unborn human being who can feel pain when he or she is approached by doctors who come to kill rather than to cure?

The real question today is not when human life begins, but, What is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother’s body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law—the same right we have.

What more dramatic confirmation could we have of the real issue than the Baby Doe case in Bloomington, Indiana? The death of that tiny infant tore at the hearts of all Americans because the child was undeniably a live human being—one lying helpless before the eyes of the doctors and the eyes of the nation. The real issue for the courts was not whether Baby Doe was a human being. The real issue was whether to protect the life of a human being who had Down’s Syndrome, who would probably be mentally handicapped, but who needed a routine surgical procedure to unblock his esophagus and allow him to eat. A doctor testified to the presiding judge that, even with his physical problem corrected, Baby Doe would have a “non-existent” possibility for “a minimally adequate quality of life”—in other words, that retardation was the equivalent of a crime deserving the death penalty. The judge let Baby Doe starve and die, and the Indiana Supreme Court sanctioned his decision.

Federal law does not allow federally-assisted hospitals to decide that Down’s Syndrome infants are not worth treating, much less to decide to starve them to death. Accordingly, I have directed the Departments of Justice and HHS to apply civil rights regulations to protect handicapped newborns. All hospitals receiving federal funds must post notices which will clearly state that failure to feed handicapped babies is prohibited by federal law. The basic issue is whether to value and protect the lives of the handicapped, whether to recognize the sanctity of human life. This is the same basic issue that underlies the question of abortion.

The 1981 Senate hearings on the beginning of human life brought out the basic issue more clearly than ever before. The many medical and scientific witnesses who testified disagreed on many things, but not on the scientific evidence that the unborn child is alive, is a distinct individual, or is a member of the human species. They did disagree over the value question, whether to give value to a human life at its early and most vulnerable stages of existence.

Regrettably, we live at a time when some persons do not value all human life. They want to pick and choose which individuals have value. Some have said that only those individuals with “consciousness of self” are human beings. One such writer has followed this deadly logic and concluded that “shocking as it may seem, a newly born infant is not a human being.”

A Nobel Prize winning scientist has suggested that if a handicapped child “were not declared fully human until three days after birth, then all parents could be allowed the choice.” In other words, “quality control” to see if newly born human beings are up to snuff.

Obviously, some influential people want to deny that every human life has intrinsic, sacred worth. They insist that a member of the human race must have certain qualities before they accord him or her status as a “human being.”

Events have borne out the editorial in a California medical journal which explained three years before Roe v. Wade that the social acceptance of abortion is a “defiance of the long-held Western ethic of intrinsic and equal value for every human life regardless of its stage, condition, or status.”

Every legislator, every doctor, and every citizen needs to recognize that the real issue is whether to affirm and protect the sanctity of all human life, or to embrace a social ethic where some human lives are valued and others are not. As a nation, we must choose between the sanctity of life ethic and the “quality of life” ethic.

I have no trouble identifying the answer our nation has always given to this basic question, and the answer that I hope and pray it will give in the future. America was founded by men and women who shared a vision of the value of each and every individual. They stated this vision clearly from the very start in the Declaration of Independence, using words that every schoolboy and schoolgirl can recite:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We fought a terrible war to guarantee that one category of mankind—black people in America—could not be denied the inalienable rights with which their Creator endowed them. The great champion of the sanctity of all human life in that day, Abraham Lincoln, gave us his assessment of the Declaration’s purpose. Speaking of the framers of that noble document, he said:

This was their majestic intheir babiesterpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of the Creator to His creatures. Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures, to the whole great family of man. In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on … They grasped not only the whole race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide their children and their children’s children, and the countless myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages.

He warned also of the danger we would face if we closed our eyes to the value of life in any category of human beings:

I should like to know if taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle and making exceptions to it where will it stop. If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?

When Congressman John A. Bingham of Ohio drafted the Fourteenth Amendment to guarantee the rights of life, liberty, and property to all human beings, he explained that all are “entitled to the protection of American law, because its divine spirit of equality declares that all men are created equal.” He said the rights guaranteed by the amendment would therefore apply to “any human being.” Justice William Brennan, writing in another case decided only the year before Roe v. Wade, referred to our society as one that “strongly affirms the sanctity of life.”

Another William Brennan—not the Justice—has reminded us of the terrible consequences that can follow when a nation rejects the sanctity of life ethic:

The cultural environment for a human holocaust is present whenever any society can be misled into defining individuals as less than human and therefore devoid of value and respect.

As a nation today, we have not rejected the sanctity of human life. The American people have not had an opportunity to express their view on the sanctity of human life in the unborn. I am convinced that Americans do not want to play God with the value of human life. It is not for us to decide who is worthy to live and who is not. Even the Supreme Court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade did not explicitly reject the traditional American idea of intrinsic worth and value in all human life; it simply dodged this issue.

The Congress has before it several measures that would enable our people to reaffirm the sanctity of human life, even the smallest and the youngest and the most defenseless. The Human Life Bill expressly recognizes the unborn as human beings and accordingly protects them as persons under our Constitution. This bill, first introduced by Senator Jesse Helms, provided the vehicle for the Senate hearings in 1981 which contributed so much to our understanding of the real issue of abortion.

The Respect Human Life Act, just introduced in the 98th Congress, states in its first section that the policy of the United States is “to protect innocent life, both before and after birth.” This bill, sponsored by Congressman Henry Hyde and Senator Roger Jepsen, prohibits the federal government from performing abortions or assisting those who do so, except to save the life of the mother. It also addresses the pressing issue of infanticide which, as we have seen, flows inevitably from permissive abortion as another step in the denial of the inviolability of innocent human life.

I have endorsed each of these measures, as well as the more difficult route of constitutional amendment, and I will give these initiatives my full support. Each of them, in different ways, attempts to reverse the tragic policy of abortion-on-demand imposed by the Supreme Court ten years ago. Each of them is a decisive way to affirm the sanctity of human life.

We must all educate ourselves to the reality of the horrors taking place. Doctors today know that unborn children can feel a touch within the womb and that they respond to pain. But how many Americans are aware that abortion techniques are allowed today, in all 50 states, that burn the skin of a baby with a salt solution, in an agonizing death that can last for hours?

Another example: two years ago, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a Sunday special supplement on “The Dreaded Complication.” The “dreaded complication” referred to in the article—the complication feared by doctors who perform abortions—is the survival of the child despite all the painful attacks during the abortion procedure. Some unborn children do survive the late-term abortions the Supreme Court has made legal. Is there any question that these victims of abortion deserve our attention and protection? Is there any question that those who don’t survive were living human beings before they were killed?

Late-term abortions, especially when the baby survives, but is then killed by starvation, neglect, or suffocation, show once again the link between abortion and infanticide. The time to stop both is now. As my Administration acts to stop infanticide, we will be fully aware of the real issue that underlies the death of babies before and soon after birth.

Our society has, fortunately, become sensitive to the rights and special needs of the handicapped, but I am shocked that physical or mental handicaps of newborns are still used to justify their extinction. This Administration has a Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop, who has done perhaps more than any other American for handicapped children, by pioneering surgical techniques to help them, by speaking out on the value of their lives, and by working with them in the context of loving families. You will not find his former patients advocating the so-called “quality-of-life” ethic.

I know that when the true issue of infanticide is placed before the American people, with all the facts openly aired, we will have no trouble deciding that a mentally or physically handicapped baby has the same intrinsic worth and right to life as the rest of us. As the New Jersey Supreme Court said two decades ago, in a decision upholding the sanctity of human life, “a child need not be perfect to have a worthwhile life.”

Whether we are talking about pain suffered by unborn children, or about late-term abortions, or about infanticide, we inevitably focus on the humanity of the unborn child. Each of these issues is a potential rallying point for the sanctity of life ethic. Once we as a nation rally around anyone of these issues to affirm the sanctity of life, we will see the importance of affirming this principle across the board.

Malcolm Muggeridge, the English writer, goes right to the heart of the matter: “Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some cases the one, and in some the other.” The sanctity of innocent human life is a principle that Congress should proclaim at every opportunity.

It is possible that the Supreme Court itself may overturn its abortion rulings. We need only recall that in Brown v. Board of Education the court reversed its own earlier “separate-but-equal” decision. I believe if the Supreme Court took another look at Roe v. Wade, and considered the real issue between the sanctity of life ethic and the quality of life ethic, it would change its mind once again.

As we continue to work to overturn Roe v. Wade, we must also continue to lay the groundwork for a society in which abortion is not the accepted answer to unwanted pregnancy. Pro-life people have already taken heroic steps, often at great personal sacrifice, to provide for unwed mothers. I recently spoke about a young pregnant woman named Victoria, who said, “In this society we save whales, we save timber wolves and bald eagles and Coke bottles. Yet, everyone wanted me to throw away my baby.” She has been helped by Sav-a-Life, a group in Dallas, which provides a way for unwed mothers to preserve the human life within them when they might otherwise be tempted to resort to abortion. I think also of House of His Creation in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, where a loving couple has taken in almost 200 young women in the past ten years. They have seen, as a fact of life, that the girls are not better off having abortions than saving their babies. I am also reminded of the remarkable Rossow family of Ellington, Connecticut, who have opened their hearts and their home to nine handicapped adopted and foster children.

The Adolescent Family Life Program, adopted by Congress at the request of Senator Jeremiah Denton, has opened new opportunities for unwed mothers to give their children life. We should not rest until our entire society echoes the tone of John Powell in the dedication of his book, Abortion: The Silent Holocaust, a dedication to every woman carrying an unwanted child: “Please believe that you are not alone. There are many of us that truly love you, who want to stand at your side, and help in any way we can.” And we can echo the always-practical woman of faith, Mother Teresa, when she says, “If you don’t want the little child, that unborn child, give him to me.” We have so many families in America seeking to adopt children that the slogan “every child a wanted child” is now the emptiest of all reasons to tolerate abortion.

I have often said we need to join in prayer to bring protection to the unborn. Prayer and action are needed to uphold the sanctity of human life. I believe it will not be possible to accomplish our work, the work of saving lives, “without being a soul of prayer.” The famous British Member of Parliament, William Wilberforce, prayed with his small group of influential friends, the “Clapham Sect,” for decades to see an end to slavery in the British empire. Wilberforce led that struggle in Parliament, unflaggingly, because he believed in the sanctity of human life. He saw the fulfillment of his impossible dream when Parliament oulawed slavery just before his death.

Let his faith and perseverance be our guide. We will never recognize the true value of our own lives until we affirm the value in the life of others, a value of which Malcolm Muggeridge says: “… however low it flickers or fiercely burns, it is still a Divine flame which no man dare presume to put out, be his motives ever so humane and enlightened.”

Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.

Barack Obama - Hillary Clinton - Bernie Sanders Raging Lunacy

Bernie Sanders - Vermont Senator - Left Wing Marxist Socialist "Progressive" Activist

Touting the Obama Agenda - a marxist socialist wolf in a cloak of sheep's clothing...bearing the promise of "free" college, "free" health care, an immoral cause and promotion of freedom of sexuality, still backing planned parenthood and free abortions...Bernie Sanders is for legalizing pot...and for giving aid to illegal aliens...Mr. Sanders gave his support to Obama's Iran Deal.

Sanders was out stomping for the reduction of military spending, reducing our national defense...while capturing press ops with Obama claiming to support our veterans...this ugly fork tongue tragic logic rises once again...the ultimate hypocrisy...take away equipment that may save our troops lives...while saying you "care" about our Military...

Another glimpse into the mind of Bernie Sanders...

In 1972, Sanders, then 30 years old, published a creative essay in the Vermont Freeman, called “man�and a woman,� which “reflected [Sanders’s] affinity for Sigmund Freud,� reported Mother Jones. Here’s the piece:

A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused.

A woman enjoys intercourse with her man � as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.

The man and woman get dressed up on Sunday � and go to Church, or maybe to their “revolutionary� political meeting.

Have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore? Do you know why the newspapers with the articles like “Girl 12 raped by 14 men� sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?

Women, for their own preservation, are trying to pull themselves for all of humanity that they do so. Slavishness on one hand breeds pigness on the other hand. Pigness on one hand hand breeds slavishness on the other, Men and women � both are losers. Women adapt themselves to full the needs of men, and men adapt themselves to fill the needs of women. In the beginning there were strong men who killed the animals and brought home the food � and the dependent women who cooked it. No more! Only the roles remain –waiting to be shaken off. There are no “human� oppressors. Oppressors have lost their humanity. On one hand “slavishness,� one the other hand “pigness.� Six of one, half dozen of the other, Who wins?

Many women seem to be walking a tightrope now. Their qualities of love, openness and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience, and masochism. How do you love � with-out being dependent? How do you be gentle � without being subservient? How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and getting strung out? How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover, but maintain the soul which is you?

And Men. Men are in pain too. They are thinking, wondering. What is it they want from a woman? Are they at fault? Are they perpetrating this man-woman situation? Are they oppressors?

The man is bitter.

“You lied to me,� he said. (She did).

“You said that you loved me, that you wanted me, that you needed me. Those are your words.� (They are).

“But in reality,� he said, “If you ever love me, or wanted me, or needed me (all of which I’m not certain was ever true), you also hated me. You hated me � just as you have hated every man in your entire life, but you didn’t have the guts to tell me that. You hated me before you ever saw me, even though I was not your father, or your teacher, or your sex friend when you were 13 years old, or your husband. You hated me not because of who I am, or what I was to you, but because I am a man. You did not deal with me as a person � as me. You lived a lie with me, used me and played games with me � and that’s a piggy thing to do.�

And she said, “You wanted me not as a woman, or as a lover, or a friend, but as a submissive woman, or submissive friend , or submissive lover; and right now where my head is I balk at even the slightest suspicion of that kind of demand.

And he said, “You’re full of ___.�

And they never again made love together (which they had each liked to do more than anything) or never ever saw each other one more time.

Text of Bernie Sanders Essay "Sex and the Single Girl - Part II

The purpose of this paper is to challenge the right of the Administration of the University of Chicago to forbid, by threat of disciplinary action, the students in the College to engage in sexual relations�this demand for sexual abstention being, of course, the motivating factor behind the four year residence and hours regulations imposed on the women, and the two year regulations imposed on the men. Under these regulations no woman is allowed to live in an off-campus apartment. Then, having been forced to live within the dormitory system, she is subjected to various rules concerning the time which she may spend outside of her room. These regulations, plus various subsidiary rules such as not allowing men into women' rooms, and vice versa, have the total effect of prohibiting sex in the college; that is, if the rules are obeyed.

The administrators of the University do not believe that students should engage in pre-marital sexual relations. The housing system which they have created, and the regulations which they have imposed make this fact so obvious that we needn't go into this question at any length. It is perhaps enough to mention that when fire drills are held in women's dormitories at six o'clock in the morning in order to check attendance, and that when “room checkers� are assigned the task of eliminating the privacy of couples, we can assume that the University is attempting to prevent sexual intimacy.

The administrators of this university have the right to BELIEVE that unmarried students should not engage in sexual intercourse, or in any kind of sexual relationship for that matter. They have the right to BELIEVE that for unmarried people sex is dirty, sinful, criminal, and unhealthy. They have the right to BELIEVE all of these things and, as parents they have the right, and perhaps the obligation, to tell their children how they feel about sex.

However, it is inconceivable and intolerable that these men should have the right to forcibly impose their moral, religious, social, and sexual beliefs on the 2000 students of the College. Disregarding for the moment the stupidity of their particular approach to sex, that of forced virginity, it must be stated in the strongest possible terms that no group of men should be given the power to believe that they can “regulate� one of the most important aspects of a human life: the right to develop deep and meaningful relationships with other human beings.

Not only must the administrators not be allowed to forbid students who desire sexual intercourse from being able to have it, but they must also not be allowed to prevent a man and a woman from spending a night in conversation, or from simply studying together, alone. Who is to measure the value that a group of people, or two people, can receive as a result of a night's conversation. How are the administrators so knowledgeable that they can say that one long and intimate conversation, which might extend beyond one o'clock in the morning, is not worth more to the people who participated in it than a year of academic education? What do the administrators know about education or about life? Are they serious in believing that anything important can come out of four years at a university if students do not have the freedom to talk together at two o'clock in the morning?

The latest restatement of the University's policy of forced sexual abstention can be seen in the recent announcement of Assistant Dean of Students, James Newman, where he discussed the question of “women's hours.� The immediate purpose of the statement was to inform various dormitory councils, student government, and the student body in general, that the Administration had refused the student request to ease up on the hours system regulation which govern student life in the dormitories. The deeper meaning in the statement was the reiteration of the Administration's belief that it has the right to dictate, upon punishment of disciplinary action, a particular code of social and sexual behavior to its students.

Mr. Newman, in his statement, says that the Administration will retain “the current hours rules (which) allow women living in University residences (which will soon be all women) to use at their discretion, a certain number of hours after midnight each week, with a limit of 3 am on any night. Such a system is REASONABLE (boldface mine) and we see no reason to abolish it. To do so would mean either a rigid curfew for all or an admission that a University address did not necessarily mean that a woman “lived� there, but only that she came in occasionally to pick up her mail.�

I would agree with Mr. Newman and his fellow administrators that it is an intolerable situation for a woman to have a University address if she uses it only to pick up her mail. But it is intolerable, not because she refuses to stay in the dormitory, but because she has been forced to live there in the first place. It is obvious that she should have the freedom to live where she pleases.

What do Mr. Newman and his cohorts mean by a “reasonable system?� On what scientific and intellectual basis (the only basis acceptable in a so-called “institute of higher learning�) is a system “reasonable� if it prevents people who would like to spend the night together from doing so? Is this system “reasonable� for people who do not accept the code of virginity before marriage, or is it only “reasonable� for some administrators who refuse to accept the fact that love and sex exist, and that here is nothing shameful, sinful, or “unreasonable� about it. Is it a “reasonable� system for two people who might simply want to spend some hours, alone, talking together; or is it “reasonable� for some administrators who are so afraid of sex, that they must prevent ANY sort of meaningful relationship from developing between students of the opposite sex.

The administrators are attempting to force the student body to accept their dogmatic beliefs on perhaps the most sacred and important aspect of human life...Through their various regulations they have drawn up a code of social and sexual “rights and wrongs� which they feel are “reasonable,� and are forcing their students, on pain of disciplinary action, to conform to them.

An analysis of these regulations leads us to believe that at the present time the University Administration considers the following sexual activities “reasonable.�

(2) Petting, so long as all clothing remains on. (The fact that “room checkers� are not assigned to watch EVERYTHING that a couple does, but are only supposed to report cases in which clothing has been removed, seems to imply that the Administration will tolerate limited petting.)

(2) Making out or Necking. (In this case the Administration has no alternative. It is very difficult to stop people from kissing. Also, I suppose that they are not really against it so long as they can prevent it from going “too far.� In the cold weather they can do just that. By not giving any privacy to couples, they can keep the activity in the open. As a result, we see couples performing in dormitory lounges, hallways etc.)

In respect to sexual intercourse, the University, of course, does not consider this “reasonable� for students. However, at the present moment, the University is caught in an uncomfortable position. As much as they would like to enforce their policy of sexual abstention, they are unable to completely do so as long as student apartments (and the apartments of friends) exist. All that the University can do in respect to sexual intercourse, therefore, is to limit the times when it can take place. At the present moment, the University can do no better than forbid sexual relations from occuring after midnight on six nights a week, and after 3 o'clock am once a week.

It is of vital importance to understand that the College is currently undergoing a radical transition in social and sexual habits. In a few years, when all the students in the College will be forced to live in dormitories, and when student apartments will be eliminated, students in the College are going to be in a desperate way in order to find privacy to do ANYTHING. If the situation is bad now, it will be infinitely worse then. Although the doing away with all student apartments will have a marked effect on the sexual life of the College, it will also have a most serious effect on those students who want nothing more than to be able to talk in privacy within the confines of a room, or perhaps to attend an occasional closed party.

The very important relationship between the University's sexual code and its social code is not difficult to see. The simple, but sad, fact is that because administrators do not believe that any students should engage in pre-marital intercourse, everybody, including those students who have no intention whatever of engaging in pre-marital intercourse must suffer. The fact is that women are shuffled off into their rooms at the compulsory bed time in order to prevent them from having a sexual relationship, regardless of whether or not they want one.

The question must now be asked; What is the intellectual basis on which the social and sexual codes of the University lie?�...

Have they gone to the psychology department in order to get a scientific opinion? Have they gone to the psychiatrists at Billings to see whether or not sex is “reasonable,� or what the effects of forced chastity might have on people of student age? Have they consulted these authorities about the problems which guilt feelings can cause for young people who have been made to feel guilty, and abnormal because of their sexual needs? In short, if the Administration's decision in favor of forced chastity, and the right to punish violators of it, based on scientific and rational opinion (the only kind of opinion which students should accept), or is it simply based on a combination of the Bible and Ann Landers?

In my opinion, the administrators of this university are as qualified to legislate on sex as they are to mend broken bones. One can best use an old saying to describe their actions; that their ignorance of the matter is only matched by their presumptuousness. If they dislike sex, or if they think that it is “dirty,� or “evil,� or “sinful� that is their misfortune. It is incredible, however, that they should be allowed to pass their attitudes, or neuroses, on to the student body.

It is a well-known fact that a large part of the student body does not agree with, or ACCEPT, the social and sexual codes of the University. Despite all their various rules and regulations the Administration is not, nor will it ever be, successful in its attempt to ban sex from the College.

No matter how hard the University tries, it just can no legislate it away. Love, and the need and right of students to do what THEY

[Here there is an unknown break in the text]

ever; university regulations, not withstanding.

However, it must be admitted that if the University does not accomplish its main purpose, it does accomplish its secondary purpose. If it can not legislate away natural and human needs, it can convert them into “sinful,� “criminal� and “dirty� activity. If people can not be prevented from expressing themselves honestly, as THEY see fit, then they can at least be made into sneaks and criminals and made to absorb all the mental punishment which goes with “criminal activity.� If the beauty and joy which love and sex is composed of can not be totally eliminated, then it can be severely maimed by the need to “catch sex� when the University isn't looking. If people can not have the privacy to do what they think is good, and right, they will do it without privacy. They will do it in motels, in cars, on the Midway, or behind the Chancellor's house, but they will do it.

In short, if the Administration can not do away with sex as they would like to do, they can take pleasure in adding to the tragic harm which comes from the archaic, barbaric, and oppressive “code of morality� of the society at large; that code, which shouts out so loudly that there is no such thing as sexual needs. Our University, following its long tradition of leadership in society, feels compelled to shout loudest.

How did the College of the University of Chicago evolve into the state in which it is now? Ignoring all the other changes which have taken place in the College over the past ten years, how did a free college, where students were allowed the freedom to live where they pleased and to determine their own social life, gradually evolve itself into a high class house of detention? How did a great college become transformed into a place where men and women are not allowed to talk to each other after one o'clock in the morning?

The answer to this question is not a simple one, but we can say that at the core of it lies the simple fact that the faculty, he men who are responsible for the fact that students come to the University, have grossly abrogated their responsibility. The administrators do not intentionally mean to be harmful. It is just that they don't know any better. But by now, because the faculty has remained quiet for so long, the situation is beyond their control. How a psychology teacher, or a doctor in Billings, or any rational member of the faculty could have allowed administrators to seriously develop a policy of forced chastity, with all the harm which it implies, is beyond comprehension. If they could not have gotten the University to take a forthright and honest position on sex, they should have at least prevented this. But they have not.

The foreign direct investment position in the United States valued at historical cost-the book value of foreign direct investors' equity in, and outstanding loans to, their U.S. affiliates-was $2,547.8 billion at the end of 2011. It grew 13 percent, or $283.4 billion, after growing 9 percent in 2010 and after averaging annual growth of 8 percent in 2000-2010. The stronger growth in 2011 reflected an increase in reinvested earnings, which were at record highs, and a sharp rise in net intercompany debt. In contrast, net equity investment, which was still the largest component, declined. The United Kingdom remained the largest investing country with a position of $442.2 billion, or 17 percent of the total (table 2.2 and chart 4). Japan was the second largest with a position of $289.5 billion, or 11 percent of the total, and the Netherlands was the third largest with a position of $240.3 billion, or 9 percent. Germany ($215.9 billion), Switzerland ($211.7 billion), Canada ($210.9 billion), and France ($198.7 billion) had the next largest positions, and each accounted for 8 percent of the total.

Foreign Direct Investment in to the U.S. - 2013 Reports on U.S. FDI Trends - The Organization for International Investment (OFII)

Analysis: This report provides a comprehensive overview of cumulative FDI stock in the U.S. and key FDI trends by country and industry. Key highlights include:
Foreign direct investment in the U.S. (FDIUS), on a cumulative basis, reached $2.7 trillion at the end of 2012.
Foreign direct investment in the United States reached a record high for the decade of $310.1 billion in 2008.
Despite a 28 percent drop in FDIUS in 2012, the United States continues to receive the most foreign direct investment, both in terms of cumulative investment and 2012 flows, of any country in the world.
Reinvested earnings (i.e., the reinvestment of profits by foreign affiliates to further finance their U.S. operations) increased 18% to $102.7 billion in 2012, from $87.4 billion in 2011.
The largest industry by Foreign direct inward investment in 2012 was manufacturing at $83.4 billion, ahead of wholesale trade, information, and finance and insurance.
The FDIUS flow into manufacturing reaching almost $900 billion in cumulative stock in 2012.
The information sector was the fastest growing industry for FDIUS, expanding from $568 million in 2011 to $12.9 billion in 2012.
Combined, nine countries hold 83 percent of the $2.65 trillion in FDIUS stock. The United Kingdom remains the single-largest investor in the United States at $487 billion, followed by Japan ($308 billion), the Netherlands ($275 billion), Canada ($225 billion), and France ($209 billion) to round out the top five.
Among Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South America (BRICS countries), China invested the largest sum into the U.S. in 2012 at $1.4 billion.

The USDA reports:

Foreign investors held an interest in 25.7 million acres of U.S. agricultural land (forest land and farm land) as of December 31, 2011. This is an increase of 1,490,781 acres from the December 31, 2010 report (Report 1A), and represents 2.0 percent of all privately held agricultural land in the United States. These and other findings are based on information submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in compliance with the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978. Forest land accounted for 54 percent of all foreign held agricultural acreage, cropland for 19 percent, and pasture and other agricultural land for 27 percent. Foreign holdings of U.S. agricultural land were relatively steady from 2000 through 2006; between 2006 and 2007, there was a significant 3.6 million acre increase. Since 2008, there have been moderate increases each year ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 million acres. Between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, there was an increase of 1,490,781 acres. (Foreign Holdings of U.S. Agricultural Land through December 31, 2011, by the Farm Service Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture)

Our United States Constitution - within it's 2nd Amendment - Preserves and Guarantees our right to Keep and Bear ARMS....

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

WithIn the spirit of Red Skelton's pledge of allegiance:

A well regulated military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency, required, needed; essential to the state of being free from danger or threat within our nation or state, having freedom and liberty, not subject to foreign domination nor despotic government,
The Moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain to act for The citizens of our country to Have or retain possession of or Retain or reserve these for use in the future Or to Carry Arms, Weapons and ammunition and armaments shall NOT be limited, undermined or encroached upon.

We hold the Right within the viewpoint that the right of the people to keep and bear arms, within arms and armament of sufficient capacity to ensure the continued security of a free state, and to ensure for personal security within, shall not be infringed.
We also hold that the capacity and production of sufficient ammunition and supplies to build, maintain and to support such arms shall not be infringed.

The United States Constitutions 2nd Amendment was not granting our rights, it was protecting and guaranteeing them. It was not intended to protect a certain class of rifles and not others...as in bb guns vs hunting rifles versus military rifles, etc., nor was it intended purpose for hunting or sport, NO... It's intended purpose was to ensure our capacity to maintain our rights of freedom and liberty, and of our government being of, by and for the people.

In the interests of protecting those serving our nation, In regard to recent unfolding events worldwide, terrorist attacks, Islamic jihad, etc...
It's time to stop the nonsense and to demand every one of our Proudly Serving Veterans on Military Bases is armed, prepared and ready to defend America and her citizens, and Justly enabled to instantly defend themselves & our military bases & personnel, in kind.

The states and cities with the least controls on gun ownership and carrying conditions, are typically the safest in the nation, while the cities and states having the strictest controls only serve to remove the capacity for good citizens to defend themselves, and for criminals to overrule the law and safety of the society. IE: The highest crime rates of cities like Chicago and Manhattan...Taking guns away from good people, so the only people carrying guns are criminals and killers, the people who do not care to obey the laws in the first place, nor the sanctity of life, is NOT the answer to achieve safety, and the roots of such thoughts are within purposeful deception not naivety.

Switzerland is one of the safest places in the world. Gun ownership and training is ingrained within the society.
http://world.time.com/2012/12/20/the-swiss-difference-a-gun-culture-that-works/ Yes.....We Know.....

And in the United States of America...no matter what the left wing liberal "progressives" will try to manipulate the law to become, no matter what rogue judges or decisions, we are guaranteed our right to keep and bear arms within the very founding, organization and beliefs of the founders of our Nation. PERIOD.
For very critical and good sound reason.

There are prudent mechanisms available to help prevent the wrongful use of arms, such as encouraging the development and training of correct safety and handling procedures of arms and weaponry for citizens...conducting classes...establishing healthy self-defense practices...encouraging the respect and understanding of our Right to Bear Arms...and the respect, understanding and safety of firearms, arms and ammunition, etc., and the importance of maintaining our capacity to protect the Freedom & Liberty of our Families... and our Nation...
But it seems these days American public schools are more interested in training children to protect themselves for having sex, rather than teaching children to have the capacity to act responsibly and to be able to protect and uphold their rights of freedom, themselves, and from abuse, violent criminals or today's potential of terrorist attacks.

There are mechanisms to prevent ownership of weaponry by foreign terrorists or by criminals who have been convicted of felony related violence...
Convicted felons, traitors and dishonorably discharged service personnel should lose their right to keep and bear arms. Example: The Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended, 18 U.S.C. 921, et seq. provides in part, "a person convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year may not ship, transport, possess, or receive any firearm or ammunition." 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(3).

Individuals shown and diagnosed to have mental instability while being treated for depression or mental anxiety and treated with any drug capable of negatively altering an individual's perception of life, and their conduct, prescribed the pharmaceuticals which have a noticeable risk of developing suicidal or violent tendencies, should be considered for monitoring and temporary surrender of weaponry during such treatment, as deemed necessary by their attending physicians, in agreement with the patient, before being allowed to prescribe or receive such medication.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers and the doctors dispensing drugs capable of altering a mind enough to induce the possibility of dangerous life threatening, aggressive or irrational behaviors, should be required to perform background checks and to make sure patients holding gun licenses or permits, or who may have been convicted of any gun related crimes, are not given these medications without appropriate review and necessary attempts to ensure community safety, while they are government regulated and licensed to dispense medications granted FDA approval. It is the Pharmaceutical manufacturers responsibility to assure not risking our citizens safety & well being while marketing, manufacturing and dispensing such medications that hold such inherent risks, and of the physician who prescribes them.

Waiting Periods: 24 hour to one week waiting periods have been suggested and are utilized to reduce the chance of instant, enraged violence. The difficulty with such legislation, although not appearing on the surface to interfere with individuals rights to bear arms, albeit momentarily, is that it is typically suggested within prejudice directed against legal arms and gun owners, while utterly ignoring the inherent risk of automobiles, airplanes, tractor trailers, fire & gasoline, pressure cookers, knives, etc., and more poignantly, tragically and actually ignoring the real societal issues of community and societal interaction and involvement & functioning to act in manner to stay aware of abhorrent behavior or malevolent indications to be enabled to prevent tragic criminal human behavior, (as within the circumstances surrounding the columbine shooting, etc).

There will undoubtedly be another tragic incident in the future, pray God there won't be, but undoubtedly there will. Someone with a "targeted" weapon will tragically kill innocent human beings...and the left wing "progressive" propaganda machine will seek to destroy the rights of law abiding citizens to defend ourselves...they'll seek to make a certain weapon that evil device...that device built from evil hands with no purpose but to take innocent human life....that's what they'll do their best to try to convince the press and the voters to accept....they'll poise their word-smithed words to reach into the hearts of mothers and fathers...appealing to their greatest fears., enveloping concerns for their worst potential nightmares, the harm of their loved offspring....Yes, we know what the left wing propaganda machine will try to do...they do it every chance they can...
But NO...they won't tell you how many human lives have been saved by people having the capacity to defend themselves...their nations....and their people...and how not having the capacity to defend oneself has cost many millions and millions of lives which have been taken and slaughtered by the oppressors of liberty, the real evil tyrants of the likes of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Adolf Hitler...and they sure won't tell you how many crimes have been prevented, how many lives have been save, because a potential perpetrator knew that there were people who could defend themselves...close by...prepared...and ready to come to the aid of innocent people...

When somebody tries to take away your Rights to defend yourself...or tries to take away or limit the Rights of other law abiding American Citzens...Don't you dare ever let them!...

The following is a collection of quotes assembled at George Mason University http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/quotes/arms.html
Quotations From Framers of the Constitution... and Others http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/quotes.html

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing."
-- Adolph Hitler, Hitler's Secret Conversations 403 (Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens trans., 1961)

What the Framers said about our Second Amendment
Regarding The Rights to Keep and Bear Arms:

"...if raised, whether they could subdue a Nation of freemen, who know how to prize liberty, and who have arms in their hands?"
� Delegate Sedgwick, during the Massachusetts Convention, rhetorically asking if an oppressive standing army could prevail, Johnathan Elliot, ed., Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Vol.2 at 97 (2d ed., 1888)

"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
� Tench Coxe, in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution’ under the Pseudonym `A Pennsylvanian’ in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1).

"The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both."
� William Rawle, A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829)

"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
� George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788

"Whereas civil-rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as military forces, which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
-- Tench Coxe, in Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188

If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.
-- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms ... "
-- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at 86-87 (Pierce & Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)

"[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
--James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46

"To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws."
--John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of the United States 475 (1787-1788)

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
--Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787).

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."
--Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

"Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it."
--Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356

"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950]

"The right of the people to keep and bear ... arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country ..."
-- James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."
-- Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789

" ... to disarm the people - that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
-- George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380

" ... but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people, while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights ..."
-- Alexander Hamilton speaking of standing armies in Federalist 29

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
-- Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836

"The great object is, that every man be armed ... Every one who is able may have a gun."
-- Patrick Henry, Elliot, p.3:386

"O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone ..."
-- Patrick Henry, Elliot p. 3:50-53, in Virginia Ratifying Convention demanding a guarantee of the right to bear arms

"The people are not to be disarmed of their weapons. They are left in full possession of them."
-- Zachariah Johnson, delegate to Virginia Ratifying Convention, Elliot, 3:645-6

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms ... The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible."
-- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959

"The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpation of power by rulers. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally ... enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
-- Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, p. 3:746-7, 1833

" ... most attractive to Americans, the possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave, it being the ultimate means by which freedom was to be preserved."
-- James Burgh, 18th century English Libertarian writer, Shalhope, The Ideological Origins of the Second Amendment, p.604

"The right [to bear arms] is general. It may be supposed from the phraseology of this provision that the right to keep and bear arms was only guaranteed to the militia; but this would be an interpretation not warranted by the intent. The militia, as has been explained elsewhere, consists of those persons who, under the laws, are liable to the performance of military duty, and are officered and enrolled for service when called upon.... [I]f the right were limited to those enrolled, the purpose of the guarantee might be defeated altogether by the action or the neglect to act of the government it was meant to hold in check. The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms, and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose. But this enables the government to have a well regulated militia; for to bear arms implies something more than mere keeping; it implies the learning to handle and use them in a way that makes those who keep them ready for their efficient use; in other words, it implies the right to meet for voluntary discipline in arms, observing in so doing the laws of public order."
-- Thomas M. Cooley, General Principles of Constitutional Law, Third Edition [1898]

"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress ... to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.... "
--Samuel Adams

On Immigration and Refugees:

St. Patrick's Day Near, generally a time in America for displaying the ethnic pride of many, and of course a day everyone in America is somehow just a little Irish, themselves, too.
Being a true "mutt" with ancestry tracing back to numerous countries, including Ireland, I look forward to the parades and listening to the bagpipes echo their solemn wail, being reminiscent of the haunting emotion carried through the air during a proud American hero's funeral. Maybe you know their ancestor's story, they came here trying to escape hunger and famine, in search of survival, a better life and that promise within America of what the future could possibly hold. You know the words "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-post to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" - From "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus.
When many of our ancestors originally arrived here, they were greeted with these "open arms", and had it not been for that, many of their descendant's futures would have been questionable, at best.
America's industrial economy and the country thrived with the addition of these immigrants, they helped build America into what it is. They tried hard and made their lives, they toiled and struggled within this chance, a precious piece of hope, that now so many of us seem to take for granted.
Somewhere in history, at least during the past few hundred years, much of our ancestry, excluding descendants of American Indians and those brought here through the vicious tyranny of slavery, chose to emigrate to this place we call America, for the hope of that chance, did Yours?.
I live in a country born and made of those fighting to overcome tyranny, seeking freedom and liberty, with those efforts holding the highest aspirations of humanity, or of God, preserving for the beliefs that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights" including "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", and I'm proud to be able to have the opportunity to live here. I'm proud of our service men and woman, those who have and will risk their lives in the future for upholding those aspirations for us and for others. I'm proud to be able to live here and able to because of the millions of individuals that fought and struggled and worked and built and made this the greatest free country to live in the world, and of whom countless many were immigrants, and their descendants.
Currently within the country there's an enormous amount of stress that has developed and continuing to, over concerns surrounding illegal immigrants. Over the past few years, seemingly more and more, politicians are jumping on or trying to catch a ride on this oftentimes hurtful bandwagon. Some concerns raised relating to overstressed housing conditions, costs to our local schools and community services within resident's concerns of spiraling taxes, and the disruption and safety hazards caused by gatherings seeking employment, etc.. These concerns have far reaching and other underlying implications, and should be addressed, while being mindful that the majority of those held within the focus of this hurtful bandwagon, although undocumented, are not hardened, dangerous criminals, that they are simply trying to do the best they can to survive, to eat, to live, not unlike what many of our ancestors were very thankfully able to do, within what those "open arms" had once allowed them to be able to do, and the circumstances should be handled with appropriate consideration and care.
Emigrating to America today, legally, isn't easy. Before 1882, anyone could move to the United States. It's not like that anymore. It can take many years, if at all possible, through government laws and red tape, quota levels, etc. Even for entirely legal immigrants, it can take years to achieve legal immigration for their spouse or family members. Legal expenses can be enormous.
If your family was at the risk of hunger, starvation or perhaps death, would you have that kind of time available, or money?. What would you do?, and how as Americans, as human beings living in a country born of these values and aspirations of liberty, with so many of us ourselves today having immigrant ancestry, should we treat those seeking our shelter or maybe just enough chance of hope?.
There are concerns that must be handled with diligent care, without proliferating racial tensions which can hurt or destroy the lives of good, decent, hard working people, directly or indirectly. Our country always thrives with the addition of hard working people. We need working hands and hope filled hearts and minds to build, to farm, to grow, to dream.
This St. Patrick's day, I ask our government representatives involved with these critical issues, to remember their own family's historical roots, to remember the values and aspirations that our nation was founded within, to think about our vast immigrant history and to act accordingly, exercising appropriate human care and to not pour the hope of those who could potentially be valuable citizens within our country as the additional fuel behind a terribly raging human fire.

B.G.

Please Note: What is written above and below is in regard to American Supportive Immigration. Dumping Refugees from Countries that hate American Values is not American supportive Immigration. Allowing the Hijrah to flood and purposely try to change the essential make up of America is not American Supportive immigration - And America must fight against such infiltration. Period.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence stated the following: "He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."
Immigration policy is not simple nor easy.
We need immigrants to perform work. We desperately need to build our manufacturing base back, and we must afford agriculture with sufficient personnel to perform their farming and harvesting requirements. We also need to maintain and remember that we are a nation of immigrants, and must preserve what America has come to offer for many of those immigrants.
We should treat people who harvest our American grown produce for us, as we would treat our farmers, with dignity and respect, and people who serve our Country's critical agricultural requirements should be afforded the opportunity for a path of obtaining citizenship. That's only right.
We should treat people who are trying to achieve Freedom and Liberty, the people who respect these incredible ideals, with dignity and respect.
This is the incredible nature of America...
And yes...we should do everything in our power to help protect our incredible nation from those who would prefer to destroy our Freedom and our Liberty...the
people who are content to open up the flood gates to infiltration by people who have no interest in supporting our form of Government, our Constitution, or our defining American way of life...Freedom of Speech...Freedom of Religion...Equal Rights for Men and Women...and the basic expectation to be able to live without fear of crime...rape or molestation...or murder...

People taking an oath during immigration vow to support our Constitution. Our Constitution and sharia law are not compatible...subsequently, any immigrant taking the oath during immigration whom actually supports sharia law is in violation of their oath, and eligible for removal of resident status and deportation.

Within fairness to legal immigrants and prudent fiscal policy, illegal immigrants should not be entitled to any form of standard public assistance, including welfare, food stamps, non emergency medical care, etc. and illegal immigrants committing felony crimes should, upon the reasonable normal due process protections provided within our legal system, and following conviction by jury trial, be deported immediately. Legal immigrants should not be entitled to any form of standard public assistance, including welfare, food stamps, non emergency medical care, etc., for a prudent length of time, certainly at least a couple of years.

Generally, within basic prudent health guidelines*, if someone is seeking a chance for the opportunity to provide for themselves and their family, for a chance to work hard and to try to grow and secure their future(s), and if they understand and respect our Country, and it's possibilities for that, and they are willing to live within our Country's laws, to learn and to live reasonably within our Country's language, to pay their taxes and social security, etc., and they attest to maintain their loyalty to America and to support Her essential beliefs...then if we are afforded the opportunity, as American Citizens, as Human Beings, we should be willing to open our doors to them, as others have opened their doors for our ancestors, for them to be able to have their chance to achieve Freedom and Liberty within the American Dream, as countless immigrants in the past have, and who have made this, our Country, America.

• Generally, to protect the General Welfare, people with highly communicable diseases should not be able to emigrate and achieve residency in the United States.

Please note: The above is written within the understanding that the U.S. is mandating the underlying basic requirements for achieving residency or naturalization,
and of the requirements of individuals applying for naturalization for complete, absolute, uninhibited support of our U.S. Constitution, without which no individual should be able to be naturalized
nor allowed to become a U.S. Citizen and to live within the rights, not granted by but protected by, such U.S. Government Constitution,
and any individuals applying for permanent residency status must
be required to attest to the requirements and questions within USNIC form I-485, appropriately and satisfactorily, and the rules regarding applicant misrepresentation or perjury of such must apply,
to either their request for permanent residency or to their potential future naturalization or citizenship.

On Term Limits:

Our Government is designed to be by and of and for the people

Within our voting...our Nation, it's Founding purposes, it's Constitution, it's overall future directions, can either be upheld and strengthened or it can be effectively destroyed....We should all work to preserve and protect our Constitution and the God Given Rights we hold as Individuals, protected within.

There should be NO TERM LIMITS.

If You Believe in our Founder's Declaration of Independence....and Support our Rights being Protected by our Constitution...

Then STOP Supporting Term Limits and Protect our Right to Vote!

All these freakin' people telling you what you can't do...You can't give this candidate more than 300.00 dollars...

You can't vote for that candidate because they served two terms...

You have a good representative but you have to replace them...because somebody thinks its their damn right to force that on you...

I have the right to vote..and I'm sick of people screwing with it...

If someone in office is no good...and they can't be impeached or legally removed from office...and they appear to be intending to hold such office...

Then Organize...put together the effort and time to find a candidate to run against them...vett them...then get them on the ballot...and do everything
you can to get them elected instead. Simple. Honest. The Good Old Fashioned American Way...The Right way.

(Not the Neo-Fascist Populist Ownership or Denial of Our Rights that many push with Governmental limits on our Right to Vote for who we want to).

Yes...put somebody else in that office...the right way...

Help shore up our Nation's voting processes...

Demand Identification!..No I.D. No Vote...Fight for the Integrity of our Ballots...

Stop the abuses prevalent in absentee ballots...Sure...Absentee ballots are suitable for people in the Hospital or Out of the Nation...on business or serving our Nation...Sure....but it's also being used as a tool to finagle the votes of people who don't care enough to just get to the ballots...
and being used as a tool to slip in the names of people who would never vote...

and DEMAND that News and Broadcasting Organizations that operate within FCC licensing Provide Reasonable access and Equal Opportunities for Candidates,
Specific obligations on Broadcasters regarding Political Speech

Whether or not the Democrats or Republicans believe it...Our Nation was NOT founded believing in only Two Parties...

and Denying Fair and Reasonable Access to Candidates...Denies our Nation's Voter's...and our Nation itself...

of the best chance for our Electorate to make Informed Decision

ALL Term Limits are Unconstitutional...Federal & State...as are laws limiting ethical political donations by individuals.

If you want to keep our elections clean...uphold the Equal Opportunity Clauses for broadcaster that are on the books right now...and enact
laws requiring that all candidates running for public office must disclose their complete income, their tax and balance statements, for at least the last 4 years,
and that they are required to report all donations or contributions, or additional income within 24 hours of receipt of payment, or of signed promissory contracts, by line item with aggregated organizations or action funds required to be broken down by the list of contributors, board management or ownership of such devices, and that they maintain a completely accessible database of all this information, readily available on public internet websites.

The same should be enacted to be required by public employees that act within a fiduciary responsibility, or act to spend or disburse public funds,
including school board officials and organizational contract administrators and purchasing agents, and corresponding requisition offices.

Presidents - Supreme Court Justices and Congressional and Senatorial Representatives that do not abide within their respective oath of Office to Support, to Defend and Protect Our United States Constitutions...after all necessary due process they should be effectively impeached and removed from Office.

Memorial Day 2014...

Thoughts about The New World Order and other Conspiracies trying to Undermine America:

I live within a small rural town...this year Memorial Day 2014
The weather was decent, but sadly it was a lighter turnout than seemingly normal for the annual Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Ceremonial Services.
I pride myself on attending every year...I look forward to take those few moments to join other members in the community to offer our respect and admiration for the ones who fought and risked their lives to maintain our freedom, our liberty, our rights, our lives...
and have established and protected this for millions overseas worldwide...
May God Bless them all...

Every year Memorial Day and these ceremonies allow me to recollect my thoughts regarding World War II...and the gallant heroes who saved the world from the axis of evil.
My Grandfather's best friend Sabi...he had recalled when he was in Poland and had tragically witnessed the evil Nazi's mow down 100's of men with gunfire... and bury them with bulldozers while many were still alive and the ground was writhing and moving...
No...I didn't see this first hand...but had heard this from first hand accounts of my Grandfather's confidant...and those memories burned a place in my soul...
I visited the holocaust museum in Washington a number of years ago...and you can't walk out of there without feeling the tragic weight of what true evil had done...and what it is capable of...
The room of vast shoes and a multi-generational photographic remembrance of that towns evaporation...the births...the marriages...the happiness..the smiles...the lives....then the atrocity of Hitler's Nazi's, and of the supporters to Hitler's regime.

Please keep in mind this happened within a lifetime ago...not 1000 years ago...not 500, not even 200...but within less than one lifetime ago...yes there are those alive who have seen the atrocities of that evil reich first hand....and there are just over one million of our Country's bravest, who fought or helped during world war II...with everything they had, who are still alive today...God Bless Them...
God Bless every Man, Woman and Child who helped fight against that greatest scourge against humanity...and through their efforts...they truly saved the world, and the lives of countless millions worldwide.
In America we celebrate Memorial Day...honoring our fallen American Heroes...and how many American heroes helped fight against that scourge...Countless Americans rationing and collecting materials and preserving energy...building vast equipments and weapons to outfit our troops and others...and sending our troops into battle with an evil greater than any other known to mankind...
Many Great American Heroes are buried overseas...on foreign lands...for risking their lives and heroically offering their ultimate support... helping drive this scourge from others lands, protecting countless others and to win defeat over this evil tyranny, oppression and genocide.
God Bless them All.
The essentially free societies around the world standing...the millions of lives protected from atrocities...the lifestyles that pay homage to freedom and life are the testament... the ultimate monument to their efforts...and knowing many millions of people world wide were or are still able to live freely, and not under an evil's ruthless tyranny, oppression or genocide.
Yes I am a citizen of America...a nation with a vast history for helping, establishing and protecting human rights...fighting tyranny and oppression, the establishment of the first true representative government... the Abolition of Slavery through our Country's Civil war, early Woman's Suffrage, World War 1, World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, the Gulf War, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...
Millions of Americans have perished fighting to try to establish and uphold freedom and liberty...fighting to uphold civil and human rights...and helping save millions from tyranny worldwide.
America was founded by humans believing in the rectitude of their intentions...within the support of divine providence...to establish a true representative government... maintaining unalienable rights endowed by their Creator...including life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and a society built on such values, character and aspirations.
We must, as a society and a people...fight with everything we have, til they pry our cold dead hands from our weapons, our pencils or our voting ballots, to preserve this great country and it's incredibly special purpose it has proved to be within humanity....and to never forget how vital it is to maintain the capabilities to protect our society's destiny within our own fundamental character and efforts including vast intelligence and industrial technological capacities.
If we don't ever allow our society to forget that, we won't have to worry about being consumed within a wholly collective "New World Order"...or being sucked into an agrarian reformers fraud, will we?

A few more thoughts about a "New World Order"...
The term "new world order" is being thrown around everywhere these days, within fair terms and within conspiracy theories or worries... Anyone who honestly believes in a "new world order" affording the ultimate within cooperation and enbetterment of the world's citizens...anything beyond similarly oriented countries collectively helping to further each individual nations security and collectively, though independently helping to maintain or ensure world peace...is at best naive...extremely dangerously naive, tragically...
and anyone who is actually willing to even think about attempting to throw away the independent sovereignty of the United States of America...forgetting all those who have fought to achieve that... has achieved a sorry state of mental awareness and they should be considered as adversaries and traitors to our Country, to our Country's Founding...and to divine providence and Nature's God

Sit down and really think about what this country...Our Country...has done for humanity...or helped...what it has done for other Countries and many millions of people around the globe... Yes...within achieving Freedom and Liberty...and establishing that and protecting that for countless millions... Where do you think the world would be had Hitler won? How bout' France?...or Russia?...or Poland?...or Italy?...or England?....What do you really think life would be like worldwide?... or if we didn't have nuclear warheads within our arsenal when we needed them for strength and support?...or if we don't continue to develop our capacities?
Throughout our worlds history...life has been continually changing...governments and factions...philosophies change and flow...they're fluid...people learn and then they tragically forget... societal building...moral decay...the rise and fall of the roman empire...life's cycles...tyrants raging oppression...genocide... You can not give away the rights fought for and achieved by our Country's founders...nor fought for by our country's bravest...to do so is to spit on their legacy and on your and your posterity's futures. The right and opportunity to control your own destiny, as best a representative government can...within your own morality...your own conscience...within your support of your own, your friends and neighbors, your families freedom, liberty and independence.
You really want to believe in the potential of a "new world order"?...Could anybody?...Are you really willing to put all of your rights within other peoples and nations collective hands?. Do you remember Tianamin square?....how about Auschwitz?....or Siberia?...how about Somalia?...or Serbia - Bosnia - Croatia?...how about 9-11 - what about the Taliban...do you see what they did to Afghanistan in the last 30 years... What happened to Anwar Sadat or our Ambassador in Benghazi?...do you admire the Agrarian Reformer's legacy (communist liar) within Fidel Castro...Stalin...Lenin.... Bolsheviks...Mao-Tse-Tung?...How bout' the Ayatollah Khomeini?... Did Mr. Hugo Chavez's oppressions float your boat?...Do you not believe in freedom of the press?...or Do you want to be limited on the size of your family?...and told where you can live?...what to drive...or what to eat?

"New world order"...

The day we as a nation and a society get conned into forgetting that America and it's system of government is honestly better, or in to believing that it is not...is the day that our future will be dead, our freedom and liberty will have vanished...our special, incredible chance and great purpose within the world will be eradicated... This society built with peoples of all nations, races and creeds, maintaining representative government for, of and by the people...we will have lost what Abraham Lincoln believed within his Gettysburg address...
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
And if we ever honestly cease making sure that never, ever, ever happens, if we ever give in to apathy, if we ever let this great experiment and our capacity slip away, without trying and fighting with every possible ounce of energy in our souls to save it...we should all rot in hell for our eternities...certainly those who keep wearing on her existence will.
Americans are born of freedom and liberty...of a society of, by and for it's citizens...it's of whom we're made of...whom and where we're from...what we fought against or escaped...there's no kings or queens, no rulers, no dictators, no social class restrictions and we have protection of our religious freedoms...
In America we are and should always be inbred with the ideals of self government...freedom and liberty...independence...and the day we forget that...and that other countries and societies clearly are not inbred with those same ideals, and the day we give our founders and predecessors hard fought for rights away, that's the day that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall tragically and disgracefully perish from the earth.
"New World Order"?...Anything beyond collectively working with similar nations to attempt to enhance all of our nations independent security and to collectively, though independently, help to maintain worldwide peace...is a naive fairy tale and a tragic con job, a sin and a lie.

We should always hold respect and offer help to every government or nation on planet earth that wants to achieve freedom, liberty and independence for it's people...to secure their safety...or for others....and to hold them in the highest regards...
Especially to those who have given their support and helped us collectively defeat evil tyranny in the past...and hopefully will offer their assistance in the future when and if ever deemed necessary...
But we must never compromise our heart and our soul as a nation...or society...or of our engrained beliefs...our core values...to outside interests of others that have no direct interest for the support of our lives...nor for our system of government...of, by and for the people...nor have direct interest within our Country's future posterity... including the United Nations or of any other withered, shallow or potentially detrimental worldwide organizations.
We must maintain the inherent capacity to protect our interests and security and must not be forced to answer to a collective group outside of America.

Never Compromise Your Heart and Soul.

Never.

A little regarding Masons and Freemasonry...
Although I am not, My father was a Mason...he didn't have time to maintain involvement with the organization, but he always expressed to me the belief that a Mason always held themselves to the utmost level of aspirations for humanity... He always told me they believed in honesty and trust in business...in business camaraderie and helping others...they were supportive to the members of all races and religions... and if there was ever a human being who believed in America and valued and respected Freedom and Liberty...and respected America and it's efforts during World War II...and America's efforts to positively effect and protect human's freedom and security...it was certainly my Father.
The past few years relentless conspiracy theories are chewing at the core of their intentions...it seems countless people are trying to discredit the Masons... to destroy any worth of the organization, as well as trying to destroy any organization that believes in God or the sanctity of human life.
Conspiracy theories...Misrepresenting Facts...They're hard at it...including many in Hollywood and the Music industry... on the Internet daily...

Why?

I'll dig and I'll write more...Please do the same...and Communicate it

There's countless people today...including many unconscionable politicians and political organizations, businesses and individuals whom are doing everything they can to destroy our standard of living, to destroy our Country's morality and future...to destroy our Country's capacity and it's hope...to continue to rob our posterity of it's future... and it's beyond time "for every good man and woman to pull their heads out of the sand and come to the aid of their country"...

Many are....

Ranked Choice Voting....The Chicken Soup or the Beef Barley....Begs to Question....

A Quick example of the logic of Ranked Choice Voting...
Be careful...It Just Might Leave a Bad Taste in your Mouth...

100 diners are at the soup kitchen....
The chef asks all what would the patrons like...
Chicken Noodle...Beef Barley...French Onion....Clam Chowder or Borscht....

30 Chicken Noodle

19 Beef Barley

18 French Onion

17 Clam Chowder

16 Borscht (beet soup)

In Regular Voting Chicken Noodle gets the nod...

But at the Next dinner, Somebody suggested regular voting wasn't fair enough,
so they wanted to muddle the issue and try Ranked Choice Voting...

It all Started the same...

30 Chicken Noodle

19 Beef Barley

18 French Onion

17 Clam Chowder

16 Borscht (beet soup)

So the 16 who voted for Borscht..their votes get a second chance and are now applied a second time,
to each of their second choice votes (not their favorite)...
which just happens to be 16 for Clam Chowder...

30 Chicken Noodle

33 Clam Chowder

19 Beef Barley

18 French Onion

Now...the 18 French Onion voters next choice comes in to play....
It just so happens that all 18 of the French Onions next choice were Clam Chowder...
and Clam Chowder subsequently wins the majority vote...51%

51 Clam Chowder

30 Chicken Noodle

19 Beef Barley

The Indicative Results....
Only 17% of the voters got their real favorite or their best choice...
The rest of the voters got somebody they really didn't think were the best...represented in their 2nd or less than perfect choice...
The 4th place position in the 1st vote...became the actual "winner"...due to the losing votes being reapplied....
Is the soup analogy practical...well...the vote outcome is certainly possible...and the indications are real.

This is indicative of this attempt to make a new generation of multiple choice voting...aka Political Spin the Bottle...Multiple Random Guess...
Common Core applied to Voting....

You think it's bad now...but with Ranked Choice Voting People will be in the ballot booth picking the next choice candidates
based on how their name sounds..."oh I heard that name before"...check..."oh I saw her sign at the supermarket"...check...
oh...I think that's the neighbors cousin's last name...check....oh...check that name off...we need 5....

Multiple Guess...Just like those school tests...Multiple Guess...for Maine and America's Future....

Random Choice voting = leveling the "playing field" to mediocrity...in the guise of majority of voter's choice....
Not the candidate favored by most...Not the "Best"....RCV Just opening more doors to accepting mediocrity
for who's running our Country and our Government...

RCV gives votes cast on the worst candidate...a 2nd chance...maybe a 3rd and a 4th...etc...
marginalizing the critical nature of voters making an important decision and then casting their vote...
and the importance and duty of our sacred right we have of voting...

Marginalized to Multiple Choice (Guess)

Supporters of this mess:

Eliot Cutler, two-time gubernatorial candidate
League of Women Voters of Maine
Kerri Prescott Bickford (R), former member of the Maine House of Representatives
Ben Chin,(D) political engagement director for Maine People's Alliance

Opposition:

Marian McCue, the former editor and publisher of The Forecaster (in Maine), said:
“ One problem of RCV is that especially with lots of candidates, a winner can be chosen with a relatively small number of first-place votes. This was exactly what happened in the city of Oakland, California, in 2010 when Jean Quan, who received only 24 percent of votes in the first round, ended up winning the election because she was the second and third choice of many voters. In Burlington, Vermont, after the leader in the first round did not win an election, RCV was repealed.

In an opinion article, Maine's Rep. Heather Sirocki (R-28) argued against ranked choice voting, saying that it would:
“
violate the Maine Constitution in two ways – Plurality Requirement and Instant Runoff Tabulation Requirements
lead to costly court challenges
make Maine the only state in the nation to implement RCV
be costly to implement- an estimated $1.5 million for new equipment
also include the federal candidates running for U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, as well as Maine Governor, Maine Senate, and Maine Representatives to the House
involve instant recounts if there are more than two candidates that do not result in a majority vote
be time consuming
further disenfranchise voters by using the recounted ballots of the loser to determine the winner

Ranked Choice Voting is CLEARLY NOT the panacea some would claim it to be...not unless you're trying to achieve mediocrity....wonder why???

Better think twice about the people and groups pushing Ranked Choice Voting...Don't ya' think!...I don't think they have the honest, best interests at heart for Maine or America....
