February 25, 2009 - Here are some questions every American should ask their elected officials – especially those supporting “climate change” legislation: If it is proven that climate change is not man-made, but natural, will you be relieved and excited to know that man is off the hook? Will you now help to remove all of the draconian regulations passed during the global warming hysteria, since it was all wrong headed and harmful to the economy and our way of life?
Their answers to these questions should be very illuminating as to the true agenda they seek to impose.
February 25, 2009 – “Sometimes when you are up against a brick wall and must get to the other side, you have three choices; go around it, go over it, or go through it. If the wall is very high and very long, you may have no other choice but to go ‘THROUGH’ it. However, going ‘through’ it will take more energy than just one man has, without resorting to an act of explosive violence. If the wall is very high and very long, as is the ‘wall’ that our government has erected around our liberty, it may even take the energy as powerful as the silent majority, to breach it.” Ron Ewart
For four score and ten, we and others have watched the slow degradation of the elements of freedom and liberty. We have watched as the walls were erected by government, around the principles of our cherished constitution.
February 25, 2009 - When US envoy to Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke met with Afghanistan’s ‘democratically’ installed President Hamid Karzai in Kabul on February 14, he may have just learned of the historic significance of the following day. February 15 commemorates the end of the bloody Russian campaign against Afghanistan (August 1978-February 1989).
But it is unlikely that Holbrooke will absorb the magnitude of that historic lesson. Both he and the new US President Barack Obama are convinced that the missing component for winning the war in Afghanistan is a greater commitment, as in doubling the troops, increasing military spending, and, by way of winning hearts and minds, investing more in developing the country. That combination, the US administration believes, will eventually sway Afghans from supporting the Taliban, tribal militias, Pashtun nationalists and other groups.
February 25, 2009 - “We are telling the federal government that we are a sovereign state and want to be treated as such. We are not a branch of the federal government,” that from Arizona state Rep. Judy Burges. And more and more state legislators and state legislatures are expressing the very same feelings. And they are doing something about it.
A state senator in Oklahoma, Randy Brogdan, has introduced a resolution that would enable his state to “reclaim its 10th Amendment right to reject any and all acts of Congress that go beyond its enumerated powers in violation of the 10th Amendment.”
