This Could Be Big

Article 1
Section 2. "The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states, and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature.
No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. "


"Outspoken Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she's so worried that information from next year's national census will be abused that she will refuse to fill out anything more than the number of people in her household.
In an interview Wednesday morning with The Washington Times "America's Morning News," Mrs. Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, said the questions have become "very intricate, very personal" and she also fears ACORN, the community organizing group that came under fire for its voter registration efforts last year, will be part of the Census Bureau's door-to-door information collection efforts.
"I know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home," she said. "We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that." ............Full story here:

If that makes you angry then the actual questions may send you into a rage. They are incredibly intrusive and according to what I can read in the Constitution, unenforceable. I think Michele Bachmann has the right idea here. If we as citizens do not start drawing the line and standing up for our rights, the government will continue to intrude further and further into our lives. I urge every citizen to answer only the question that is mandated by your Constitution, number of people in your household . Period. Have your pocket Constitutions handy and quickly point out to the ACORN member bullying you what your rights are. You may also want to request that they not put a GPS-tag on your front door. If enough Americans are willing to do this, it will be a very powerful message sent to Washington.

The Iranian people apparently have the courage to stand up to their oppressive government. Do you?

Speaker West?

I attended a town hall meeting Sunday afternoon. LTC Allen West graciously accepted an invitation from our local political action group to speak and answer questions. The group is not large and the majority of it's members don't' live in District 22 and therefore cannot vote for Mr. West. He came anyway and I asked him later what motivated him to come out on a Sunday under those circumstances. Allen's answer, quote "it was about being with the people".

Mr. West opened with with some light hearted comments and then dove into a well articulated, unscripted, teleprompter less, analysis of the most urgent dangers facing this country. The room was silent and focused like a laser beam. I kept waiting for the tired old cliches, the polished political jargon and the career politician double talk. Refreshingly, I waited in vain. He spoke to the group in a plain but educated language that all could understand. The serious and direct nature of his comments set the tone for a truly meaningful event. Jim Lehrer would not be stepping in here to maintain triviality. This was candidate to constituent without buffer the way it was meant to be.

The questions were tough, pointed and pertinent. No softballs here. They were coming in fast and furious; curve, fastball and the occasional change up. The Colonel went yard with each query like Hank Aaron at a home run derby. His answers were tougher than the questions and didn't always please everybody in the room. That was not and is not his style. There were certain moments when the conversation became heated. Allen took command like a true leader and made his positions clear. It is obvious that Allen West has not only refused to be politically corrected, he has very little admiration for those who have. My guess is that 22 years of military service, standing on the wall to protect our country has a lot do with that demeanor.

LTC Allen West has promised to bring the Florida heat to Washington D.C. He looks forward to standing toe to toe with Nancy Pelosi and kicking down the door to the Congressional Black Caucus. Not for his own self aggrandizement but to expose the corruption and stop the madness that has gripped the governing elite. The Colonel pledges to be a mega-dose of bad medicine for a seriously ill political system.

Quite frankly, I believe him.

Backdoor Totalitarianism

to⋅tal⋅i⋅tar⋅i⋅an⋅ism -noun

1) absolute control by the state or a governing branch of a highly centralized institution

I have a good friend who is an officer with the BSO. Great guy with a great family. We went to his home for a visit a couple of years ago. I pulled my van into his driveway and stepped out to greet him. He was standing several yards back with one of his fellow officers. As I approached them, they gave me a stern look and pointed at my license plate. It was July 31st and my tags expired at the end of July. They joked that if I stayed overnight, I would have a ticket on my windshield in the morning. I promised that I would be gone before midnight so they proceeded to point out that my tires were under inflated, a very serious violation.

This was all good fun and we had a good laugh. Later that evening, after a couple of beers (maybe 3 or 4), my friend explained to me that there were so many laws on the books concerning traffic violations, vehicle safety and equipment maintenance that any person could be pulled over at any moment for any reason. My personal experience told me that he was correct. I don't blame my friend, he is just doing his job.

This conversation stayed with me for a long time. I began to look around and realize that almost every human endeavour is regulated in some form or another by a local, state or federal law. Whether you are driving your car, cutting down a tree in your yard, lighting a cigarette, popping the top on a beer, walking down the street, or just fishing in a lake......there is that little voice in the back of your head. That voice that says, "Am I breaking a law?", "Is this legal?", "Am I allowed to be here?".

When a government passes law after law, layer upon layer of regulation, they have in a democratic and legalistic process, taken control of your life. When there is a law for everything, I can guarantee you that at any moment you are in violation of some law, code or regulation. Try to compare this scenario to the tax code. We have all seen the biblical dimensions of the tax code in this country. We have heard the stories of 5 different IRS agents arriving at 5 different conclusions for the same tax return. I think it is safe to assume that every single citizen has violated some tax law somewhere in that tangled, incomprehensible book of regulations. Therefore, we are all criminals. By the same token, with the immeasurable number of laws on the books regulating our behavior, it's safe to assume that at any moment, somewhere, somehow, we have committed some crime.

Personally, I don't see any difference in our current situation to that of people living in tyranny. We are forced to get up every morning to work to support the State with an endless amount of taxes. We are allowed to move about only with the permission of the State and only if we follow their rules. We must live a government approved lifestyle or be punished or imprisoned. We must have a government approved personality or be arrested, fired from our job or worse, turned in by family or friends to be drugged into acceptability. In order to prosper, one must either fly under the radar or curry favor with the elite governing class. Otherwise, a friendly IRS agent will be calling or the government controlled media will destroy your name, honor and reputation.

Free men and women do not live like this. They do not "report" their income to a master. They do not ask permission from a master to cut down a tree on their property. They do not carry endless forms of identification simply to get into their car and drive, they do not ask a master permission to raise their children as they see fit. Free men and women drive the car of their choice, not the pre-selected, government approved vehicle forced upon them.

Many of you have grown comfortable in your cages. Some money in the bank, nice house, vacation every year. So what if you have to abide by the rules set forth by the nameless and the faceless, cradle to grave. Much like the pedigree dog living with the nice family, you have grown accustomed to sitting and rolling over on command as long as you are fed, groomed and can sleep in the Big House. Must I remind you again of what it means to trade your freedoms for material wealth? Go ahead and lick the hand that feeds you but don't ever forget what you have become.

In case you have forgotten let me remind you. The Declaration of Independence is the Emancipation Proclamation for all mankind. The Constitution is the legal contract guaranteeing that emancipation. You have but one duty as a citizen living under this great blanket of freedom paid for by men and women much stronger and wiser than ourselves. "Protect and defend the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic." When is the last time you have read either document? The Declaration of Independence is a simple but beautiful piece of art that was undeniably inspired by a higher power. It stated for the first time in known history that men and women are inherently free beings unconstrained by any power other than the Creator.

Consider for a moment that the institution of slavery has been with us since the beginning of civilization. From the Jews being enslaved by the Pharaoh to Africans being shipped into bondage all over the world in recent history . It has been acceptable throughout mankind's history for Oligarchs, Monarchs, Dictators, Pharaohs, Isms, etc. to enslave and control human beings at their discretion. This all changed in 1776. We are all enjoying the fruits of that incredible revolution but sadly have ceded freedom after freedom to an all too willing government.

It's not too late to stand up and do your duty. Our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers paid with their lives. Are we too weak now to even raise a voice? Shame on the first generation of Americans to lay down the freedoms bought and paid for with blood, treasure and sacrifice. Shame on all of us.........................

Obama Guilty of Treason???

The American government-media complex is a term coined by Dr. Michael Savage. President Eisenhower warned the nation of the military-industrial complex in his exit speech in 1961 and the danger it posed to our freedom. The current corporate owned and controlled media poses perhaps an even greater danger.

General Electric owns NBC and hence CNBC and MSNBC. General Electric has received massive amounts of bailout money from the government and is in line to receive billions more in government contracts. It is not surprising that these networks, MSNBC in particular are unabashedly pro Obama.

Fox is owned by foreigner, Rupert Murdoch but he sold a large share of the company to a Saudi Prince. Many are convinced that Fox News is ultra right wing. What Fox actually does is allow the conservative viewpoint to be presented respectfully, leans right in some of it's coverage but on the really important issues, remains silent or echoes the mainstream line.

Why is this important to know and understand? Well, most are unaware or have dismissed one of the most critical issues facing our nation. We are hurtling towards a Constitutional crisis of great magnitude. The government-media complex has blacked this out in order to protect their guy in the White House. We have to learn about the new details of this ongoing situation from a foreign media outlet. This should be front page news here in America. Here is an excerpt with the link below for the entire story.

"The answer to one of the above question (Is Obama Guilty of Treason?) is absolutely, YES! --Either Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason, as formally charged in a March 2009 federal criminal complaint filed by retired Navy LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, on March 17th, (or) LCDR Walter Fitzpatrick is indeed guilty of Mutiny, - “forcible or passive resistance to lawful authority; especially: concerted revolt (as of a naval crew) against discipline or a superior officer.

There is no higher authority for a U.S. Naval Commander than the superior office of Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, the President of the Unites States. Yet, LCDR Fitzpatrick has publicly and formally charged President Barack Hussein Obama with the high crime of treason in a federal complaint filed with James R. Dedrick U.S. Attorney, Eastern District Tennessee, and Edgar Schmutzer, Dedrick’s Assistant U.S. Attorney on March 17, 2009."

It's important to note that Commander Fitzpatrick has not yet been charged with Mutiny. My attorney readers can chime in here but my guess is that they will not charge him so as to avoid a trial in which The President of the United States will finally (after countless lawsuits and millions of dollars spent on his behalf to avoid this) have to present in court the documentation necessary to prove he is Constitutionally eligible to be president.

I believe that Fitzpatrick is honoring his oath to protect and defend the Constitution and is a patriot on the same level as Patrick Henry or Samuel Adams. If enough Americans were to actually uphold their oath as citizens, we may start the process of restoring this nation to it's founding principles and reign in this out of control and oppressive federal government. Perhaps this act of courage by Commander Fitzpatrick is the second "shot heard 'round the world".

Step One

I haven't fired a weapon in over 25 years. I am happy to report that it is just like riding a bike. After completing a 2 hour course and passing the required examination, the instructor guided us downstairs into the gun range. It was quite intimidating at first, even with the protective ear and eye wear. There were the loud steady explosions, clapping like thunder and the spent casings dropping around us like random raindrops.

My first task was to load the magazine with ammunition. My nervous fingers clumsily pressed the bullets down into the clip one by one. I was wondering if I did this wrong, would I set off the round and lose a finger. Now, successfully loaded it was time to fire the semi-automatic pistol. Just remember to B.R.A.S.S. Breathe, relax, aim, slack, squeeze. I stood there with slightly trembling hands, realizing the power I held in my hands. Bam, first round off and to my surprise, I had not only hit the target but was still standing to talk about it. The second and third round came much more easily. I was much more calm and I was now less worried about the pistol and more concerned about hitting my target. It was time to reload. Clip full, locked in place, start firing.

I began to feel very at ease. My hands steadied, my aim sharpened and the thunder and rain were now part of very comfortable surroundings. As the hour passed and the shooting continued, a certain feeling of power overcame me. Not an arrogant or twisted sense of power but something much more familiar. I thought about this feeling for many hours after the session. I truly believe that what I was feeling was a rejuvenation of a natural component of all human beings. In a world full of violent criminals, Islamofascists and a government intent on forming a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded (as our military)", I had just taken the first step in defending my family, myself, my property and my God given rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It became more clear than ever to me why oppressive governments are always intent on confiscating firearms from it's citizens. As one begins to fully exercise their unalienable rights, the sense of individualism is increased exponentially. No longer are you feeling helpless and dependant upon Big Brother to defend and care for you. You move closer to Independence and further away from collectivism.

When I arrived home after my day at the range, my wife and brother in law were there to greet me. I was excited to tell them of my experience. They both agreed that something was different about me. They said I was standing a little taller. They said I had a new swagger in my step. They were right.
