There were many articles I could have picked to make my point – this one (Republicans seek political advantage) just happened to be the one I hit after thinking about my question to readers.

We have top news headlines – thousands of articles – constant TV coverage and talk show chattering about the Nigerian who put blasting powder in his shorts and got on an airplane – flew to the US and failed to blow his nuts off.

Prior to the establishment of Israel, Palestine had been multi-religious and multi-cultural. Christians, Muslims and Jews, Armenians, Greek Orthodox, to name a few, all had a place there; and all lived in relative harmony. Other nations fought wars and waged epic struggles to attain the kind of coexistence that was already a reality in Palestine.

But while the world strives toward the noble truths that we are all created equal, Israel legislates the notion of a Chosen People with exclusive rights and privilege for Jews. Where countries have worked to integrate their citizens to create the richness of diversity, Israel is working in reverse, employing racist policies to “Judaize” the land whereby property and resources are confiscated from Christians and Muslims for the exclusive use of Jews.

NOTE: I am hearing from many people that INTERPOL is involved in illegal activities. This may be true; and if it were true, I would not be surprised. However, the claim of the e-mails making the rounds of the internet is that EO 13524 gives INTERPOL police state powers within the United States. This is blatantly false and not a conclusion that can be reached by examination of the documents involved: the International Organizations Immunities Act and the three executive orders involved, 12425 (Reagan), 12971 (Clinton) and 13524 (Obama). The International Organizations Immunities Act, in total, gives no foreign entity afforded diplomatic immunity, INTERPOL or any other, police state powers within the United States. Those making this claim do so erroneously. (L.S.)

Hear ye, hear ye! The 2009 award for the most Stupid Educational Fad goes to… all schools where spelling is no longer being taught; with special “Fickle Finger of Failure” prizes to administrators, school boards, state school boards, departments of education, and all others who believe that teachers should officially “stop teaching spelling”… as if trashing of the last vestige of actual academic instruction in America should be celebrated.

I suggest that in the last 50 years, American public schools have not taught enough spelling to even make a “stoppage” worthy of media coverage. Instead of making announcements, these criminals should sign confessions down at their local police departments.

Senator Boxer is compounding the Climategate scandal with cover-up and obstruction.

Aside from ideologues, hydrocarbon haters, Gaia worshipers, profiteers and power-grabbing politicians, most of the sentient world is beginning to realize that the hysteria over global warming disasters is based on dubious to fraudulent temperature data, analyses, models, reports and peer reviews.

Climate Research Unit emails, HARRY_READ_ME.txt computer memos, and blatant tampering with Australian, Russian, UK and US temperature data make the scandal impossible to ignore or explain away. They also helped ensure that Copenhagen descended into an expensive, carbon-emitting gabfest – and that China and India rejected any deal that would force them to curtail their energy generation, economic growth and poverty reduction programs.

Throughout the year we have tried with our frequent articles to not only educate, but to inspire as well. We are going to close out 2009 with a poem we wrote on the day after Christmas in 2004, entitled “FREEDOM”.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42 B.C.)

~ Preface ~
Are we free people, or are we under the control of every government entity due to the 14th Amendment? Are we nothing more than privileged people – slaves – to government entities?

Do we live under a horrendous fraud perpetrated by government, or by those controlling government, binding us to obeying statutes written by officials? Are we indeed bona fide “subjects” and/or “wards of the State?”

A house divided against its self will not stand and a party that is representative of the people by the people can not continue to splinter or it will fall. For we know that the strength of any house begins with a foundation that has been carefully structured with truth, respect and honor. It is this brick and mortar in which the Republican party had laid long ago that strove to build up its people.

Within our party’s framework you will find the load bearing beam for which we all must stand so, we can support all the unique individuals who make her the hope for today and tomorrows America. As the party that stands for freedom, individual responsibility and the precious gift of life we have the windows that show the world our light, and our reflection of what we truly stands for.
