QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion." 

                                                                                       -- James Burgh (1714-1775) was an English Whig politician
                                                                                           Source: "Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses" (London, 1774-1775)

 Live Simply.  Love Generously.  Care Deeply.  Speak Kindly.  Leave the Rest to God.

US Government no Longer Values Citizenship

by Frosty Wooldridge

Finally, half of American citizens fail to vote in national elections and less than 20 percent vote in local elections. A powerful and entrenched ‘good ole’ boys’ network controls this nation. While Congress does not value our citizenship, fewer and fewer Americans exhibit much interest in their own responsibilities as citizens, either. Voting for McCain or Obama makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders!.........

Business owner says illegal immigration costing local jobs

Ron Wetzler has had enough! The owner of Olympic Drywall and Texturing in Rowan County says he's losing out on jobs awarded instead to subcontractors who employ illegal immigrants, mostly Mexicans. It's happening on both commercial and residential construction projects in Rowan County, Wetzler claims. He doesn't have proof as to which workers are illegal. The way it works, he says, is usually the subcontractor himself is a legal resident, who then pays his crews — most of whom are here illegally — in cash.

Well, for one thing, you have Marxists like Bill Clinton make this shameful statement, April 19, 1994: "When we got organized as a country, we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, however there's a lot of irresponsibility today in this country and so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom...

Barack Obama & the UN's Drive for Global Governance

by Tom DeWeese

Senator Barack Obama has introduced a dangerous bill and it's on the fast track to Senate passage, probably because of his high profile position as the expected Democrat presidential nominee. Obama hasn't done much legislatively in his freshman Senate term, but this one is very telling about what we can expect from a President Obama. The bill is the "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) and is not just a compassionate bit of fluff that Obama dreamed up to help the poor of the world. This bill is directly tied to the United Nations and serves as little more than a shakedown of American taxpayers in a massive wealth redistribution scheme.........

While a booming population is turning the Intermountain West—Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah—into an economic force and political battleground, a new Brookings Institution report suggests that without help from the federal government, its major cities are headed for trouble.
