Greensboro NC Tea Party protestor arrested Tax Day, April 15, 2010
From the Greensboro New Record.
“Police put kibosh on disguised tea party protester”
“A man dressed in all black and a hood or mask came to the side of the stage by the old county courthouse while a person spoke and held up a sign reading, “Prosperity = White Supremacy.”
The crowd didn’t fancy the man’s sign and cast a round of boos in his direction. Pretty soon, three Greensboro police officers escorted the man away from the protest.
According to arrest reports, Daniel Emerson Stainkamp, 22, of 1602 West End Place in Greensboro was charged with wearing a mask or hood on public property, resisting a public officer, carrying a sign larger than allowed by a local ordinance, and interfering with the protest.”

I am first?
whoa never been first before,but they should give this jerk lot’s of time.
Go for it, kudos!
I saw this out on the web. It’s a pretty cool motto:
I pledge allegiance, to the Barak, of the bankrupt states of America, and to the socialist, for which he stands, one divided nation, under no God, with health care and welfare for all.
kudos to the first comment…hehe

A law our politicians should obey!
*** Oliver’s Law of Public Speaking – A closed mouth gathers no feet.
“That says it all “in a nutshell.” Have to admit, at the time, I was still reading the “liberal press” who if I remember correctly, were painting him in traitorous colors. Now that I am educated in the political “spin” and the “ways and means” of our government, I am revisiting some of these “incidents” with an awareness I did not have previously.
Thank you for facilitating my journey…Linda”
My pleasure. History has important lessons, and sometimes when we look back at an event we recognize that it wasn’t a simple right and wrong as it seemed at the time. Many felt Oliver North was a patriot, fighting for freedom and against the Evil Empire. The Dems demonized him, needless to say. In my very humble opinion:
I think Oliver North did the wrong thing (making a deal with the Iranians), for the right reason (prevent obviously aggressive soviet expansion in our backyard), while working with immoral people, whom were fighting against immoral people. The Dems were using the Catholic Church and Nuns (generally moral group), for the wrong reason (helping the Soviet expand and destabilize central america), while generally backing immoral sandistas.
I’m starting to shake my head just remembering how messed up the whole thing really was…..but remember we in the middle of a very deep cold war.
I for one appreciate Reagan’s and Oliver Norths attempt to protect the United States. Neither had any personal or financial gain from what they did, I do believe they did it for Country, as they had great risk and little personal benefit at stake. I doubt many Americans can look back and deny that they felt they were doing this to protect us.
Responding to an article posted on the previous thread from Hillbuzz.org re: Palin’s gobbldy gook. Do people really think she knows what she’s talking about? Is this really who we “pray” for to come and save us? The words of wise friends:
She says –
our military has advanced the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan and kept authoritarian powers like Russia and China in check.
I say –
seven years later, we are still occupying Iraq based on falsified documents that Sadaam had WMD’s. It’s declassified now it was all a lie.
Afghanistan – known as the graveyard of empires – invaded because the farmers had replaced the poppy fields with wheat. Uh…the banksters didn’t much like not having any dirty money to launder, so had to re-seed the fields.
She says –
President Obama has ended production of the F-22, the most advanced fighter jet this country has ever built.
I say –
the F-22 is OLD news and has been replaced with an even more advanced fighter jet this country, and the world, has ever seen – the F-35. These jets are in production now, with orders from around the globe. Pilots are being fitted and test flights are under way. Russia’s answer to the F-35 rolled off the line a few weeks ago. Where has this woman been?
She says –
and he’s ended the program to build a new generation of nuclear weapons that would have ensured the reliability of our nuclear deterrent well into the future.
I say –
She might want to check out the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California. I’m pretty sure they’re working on something for us. Hey, can someone send this link to Sarah. It’s pretty impressive. Last I heard from Dr. Winn Parker, they were on the brink of something big. The 2008 budget for R & D was $1.587 billion.

New poll bad news for Sen. Harry Reid
++++++++++++
From the other thread, but I just have to comment.
Let’s see. I’m supposed to believe that Reid has 37% of the vote in Nevada.
Let’s do a reality check with data from on-the-ground reports.
10,000 rallied against Reid; 100 rallied for Reid.
So out of 10,100 “polled” voters, Reid gets about 1%. (Hope I did that math right.)
Okay, so maybe not all 10,000 can vote, BUT probably, at least 10% (10) of Reid’s ralliers were on his payroll, so they are not a true reflection of Nevada’s voters, either.
That evens everything out to . . . about 1%.
Okay, even if only half of the 10,000 can vote, we’re still talking 2% for Reid.
So, what is that poll talking about?
Just so we all understand what happened…….
Any questions???
Hi, Pete (9:59) – I also appreciate your insight with respect to Col. Oliver North. We sat glued in front of the TV from day to day while he testified before Congress and endured all of the insults from the members. It was one of the saddest periods of American history, in my opinion. I felt then that Col. North would rise above the insults and come through with flying colors, and he has. It took some time, but he is a real American hero, and always has been.
!?!! // April 16, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Geeez !?!!…beats me; 47 + 37 + 2 + 3 = 89% Guess that means 11% are undecided, huh?
How could you be undecided with 4 choices?
It all depends upon HOW the poll questions were asked and WHERE the questions were asked. They probably did not take that survey in his home town. [which is just as ridiculous as the first premise]
And, out of those 10,000 who attended the Tea Party “Showdown,” a small percentage were not from Arizona; let’s say 2%. [more nonsense]
But…I have to tell you I like your “fuzzy” math!
You are sooo funny! It’s a random sample, silly; that means they can randomly get anyone [fool] on the phone. [which is just as absurd]
Conclusion: Danged if I know!
End of Poll Math Lesson for tonight…Linda 😉
Well, CW bloggers, did you know that humility is one of Obama’s personal traits? He says so, in an Australian TV appearance. He probably didn’t know that the word would get back to us??

Prairie, Dear!
There are those who appeal to the “common man” through the force of their personalities. They speak in simple terms so as not to confuse their “eager” followers.
There are those who are “overly educated” that appeal only to the “intellectuals.” They speak to the “elite” who “think” they are smarter than the average man/woman.
There are those who are “military types” who appeal to those who “lead others.” They are stoic, and serious-minded, and they know their tactical/strategic maneuvers quite well.
To which category does your subject belong?
Peace…Linda

Leftist Judge Rules National Day of Prayer Is
Unconstitutional
++++++++++++++++++++
God rules Leftist Judge Unconscionable
un·con·scion·a·ble (ŭn-kŏn’shə-nə-bəl)
adj.
1. Not restrained by conscience; unscrupulous:
2.not in accordance with what is just or reasonable: unconscionable behavior.
3.excessive; extortionate:
Beyond prudence or reason; excessive: unconscionable spending.
—Synonyms
extreme, immoderate, unwarranted, inordinate.
Legal Dictionary
unreasonably unfair to one party, marked by oppression, or otherwise unacceptably offensive to public policy
—————-
With o.’s cancellation and the judge’s ruling, I’m predicting the biggest National Day of Prayer participation yet.
Nothing like persecution to strengthen the faith and the faithful.
Nothing like depriving Americans (rebels R us) of our freedoms to get us to exercise them all the more.
Sue K-Linda from NY this will crack you up. They have 2 polls over at Jeffersons Rebels. Are you ready to impeach Obama is at 97 per cent, and you can rate the media.
http://www.jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/
I think it is remarkable that within a week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair in the last few years, with photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.
And, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade, not only that, they know which wedge! And each and every day, they give America more updates on his sex-rehab stay, his wife’s plans for divorce, and his plans to return to the pro-golf circuit.
Obama has been in office for over a year now, and this same press still cannot locate Obama’s official birth certificate, or any of his papers while in college, or how he paid for a Harvard education, or which counry issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980s as Barry Soetoro and even Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis on racism. It just can’t be found.
Yet the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth . . . Truly remarkable!
========
In my view, “cannot” should be replaced with “will not”. Furthermore, “trust” of the press was wavering years before Obama entered the picture. However, when Obama walked onto the media stage, the press’ groveling, apple-polishing, brown-nosing, bootlicking, yes-man, fawning coverage reached its pinnacle of self-destruction. We, the American public, will never, ever, trust the lamestream media again! A pox on their houses.
If you would like to grade various media lightweights, you may do so here. In due time those results will be published on Jefferson’s Rebels
Michelle // April 16, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Chelley, did you mean he is “diluted?”
Remember that commercial with the egg and fry pan? This is your brain…This is your brain on drugs.
Most people engage the brain before opening their mouths. You cannot engage a “brain on drugs,” and robots do not think, they just talk. The computer [teleprompter in his case] does the thinking for them.
What a fool! He definitely is one who leaves no doubt.

You can practice your faith and insure article # 1 of the Bill of Rights is maintained.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Linda from NY @ 11:39 pm
I don’t think Obama was ever playing with a full deck, notice he artfully dodged the drug taking controversy during the election cycle by saying he did drugs and his other blah, blah. He didn’t say, what kind, how long, what strength etc. I really believe he caused himself brain damage-major, minor degree I’m not sure of, but I bet people who help people with substance abuse would know.

Separation of church and state in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from various documents of several of the Founders of the United States. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .” The modern concept is often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, but the phrase “separation of church and state” is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It has since been in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court,[1] though the Court has not always fully embraced the principle

ticktock @ 11:56 pm
Thomas Jefferson and all of our Founding Fathers were/are rebels and WE THE PEOPLE are their heirs.
FYI
I am not really stupid, maybe dumb, but not stupid. I know that seperation of church and state is NOT part of the Constitution. It was a single line in a letter Jefferson wrote describing that a wall should seperation churches to keep the government out. Not the other way around.
I was being sarcastic in my earlier remark.

Lobotomies have a similar affect I think…LOL
I think he was re-programmed after his grandmother found out he was on drugs. Then, when he got far enough away from Dear-Old-Mom and his mentor, Devious Davis, he combined both learned experiences in the Chicago nightlife.
What a sorry excuse for a person! And…to think someone thought he was presidential material? What drug is this person taking?
After viewing the video Prairie asked us to view, I can see from where he was “hatched.”
I cannot wait till this “nightmare” ends, and Greg fires up the grill!

Excuse me, Rush, but, with the same amount of breath, you could have told the truth, that o. isn’t “Mr. President,” in the legal, moral, ethical, constitutional sense.

“What a sorry excuse for a person! And…to think someone thought he was presidential material?”
Linda do you have a skid-row area in New York? South Side of Chicago is lower than the skid-row area in Chicago, which is not great. That’s the part I cannot wrap my mind around. To go to the worst possible, most corrupt place, to get the most corrupt person just makes no sense to me at all. The nightlife the hillbuzz guys refer to is slimy and smarmy but it is in a better area (less dangerous). Some intrepid and curious reporter could get a lot of information down that way-loose lips sink ships, and when they get drunk, drugged baby it all comes out. Believe it.
Typing getting ahead of the brain . . .
Didn’t another poster, in a brilliant analysis, say that indicates a smart person?
So, I guess that pasting getting ahead of the brain would also indicate smartness in action ????
Sound good to you?

Ah . . . the Memo. . . That’s right. The Memo trumps duty, honor, forthrightness, honesty . . .
Sure, let the people who didn’t get the Memo, like Lakin, Kerchner, Orly, Keyes, Fitzpatrick, the “birthers,” (who also have bills to pay), take the rap so Rush can sit back with his Memo and his millions.
Well, two words to Rush: Bart Stupak. We citizens don’t take too kindly to being sold out.

My fingers are just too smart for my brain . . . or, is it the other way around . . .
!?!! // April 17, 2010 at 12:15 am
Good try, !?!!
I think you might be referring to “engaging the brain” before opening the mouth. However, am not sure that is true for typing because the brain has to do two things at once; organize the thought process and then, tell the fingers to record it. Since thoughts fly faster than fingers, the fingers have a hard time “catching up” to the thoughts IMHO.
Just saying…Linda
PS I have one spastic finger…what’s your excuse?

I do know there are numerous “hangouts” as well, but I never lived in the city so would not know of any.
Remember, NYC is the city that Never Sleeps.
It does have a famous “drop off” swimming pool, but people who go there normally do not come out of the swimming pool at the East River…because their “shoes” are too heavy.

I had seen the chart that is shown in this article before, but it reemphasizes that O is on the fast track with his coming actions. He isn’t going to need a vote from Congress on some of this stuff.
He already has in place the government agencies headed by his handpicked czars to accomplish his evil deeds.
Citizen Don of California – For a minute you had me scared with your talk of “separation of church and state.” That was before you posted again your correct understanding with the further explanation about the writings of Thomas Jefferson.

Cabby – AZ // April 17, 2010 at 12:37 am
Yeah. I just don’t think they choose “dumb” to work in intelligence. Just a hunch of mine.
“Mayor questions Obama’s citizenship; board members split on Schweighart’s resignation”
“On Thursday at a West Side Park rally for the Tea Party, Champaign Mayor Gerald Schweighart said President Barack Obama was not an American citizen because he could not produce a birth certificate.
“If you are not willing to produce an original birth certificate, then you’ve got something to hide,” Schweighart said in a Youtube video. “If he doesn’t have something to hide, produce it.”
The mayor could not be reached for comment regarding the statement as of press time. But Al Kurtz, Champaign County board member, said he was “flabbergasted” by Schweighart’s comments and ignorance.
“I was struck speechless that his inability to understand the facts of the case and his ignorance to pronounce our president not as American in his opinion was willfully ignorant of the circumstances that surround this controversy,” Kurtz said. “President Obama has proven without a doubt that he is an American Citizen. The state of Hawaii has produced the original birth certificate, which was copied and now sent to Washington. That is a real biased statement that doesn’t show much research or in-depth study of the situation.”
Kurtz said he thinks Schweighart should resign.”

Another one has bitten the dust!?!! Why is it so hard to get anywhere in court? The main reason given is that she lacked standing. Sakes alive, according to the judge, it has to be the Attorney General of the U.S. or a District Attorney to bring the case. Why cannot we the people have any say at all? I know what jbjd would say, because she knew all along that this case would fail.

Grossly Irrational and Irresponsible Governance
Barack Obama: Enemy Within
By Matt Barber
Friday, April 16, 2010
[W]e will achieve our destiny to be as a shining city on a hill for all mankind to see. – Ronald Wilson Reagan
Our nation is chosen by God and commissioned by history to be a model to the world. – George Walker Bush
America does not presume to know what is best for everyone. – Barack Hussein Obama (Insert deflating balloon effect here.)
We have a president loath to acknowledge American exceptionalism. Indeed, the weight of the evidence suggests that our chief executive, through both word and deed and with malice aforethought, seeks to undermine – if not dismantle – that exceptionalism. At one time we properly called such activity anti-American, seditious, or even – under certain circumstances – treasonous. Today we call it “progressive.”
Abraham Lincoln – also from the Prairie State – perhaps forecast his presidential progeny when he observed: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Liberals In Congress, President Obama And His Stable Of Cracked Czars And Policy Advisers:
We are destroying ourselves. Of course, by “we” I mean those egalitarian ideologues who presently control the reins of government: liberals in Congress, President Obama and his stable of cracked czars and policy advisers. Their demonstrated antipathy toward America’s uniquely grand place among world nations is unambiguous.
Consider comments made recently by John “forced abortion” Holdren, Obama’s science czar, to students at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In a rallying cry that could only be mustered by a true patriot, Holdren proclaimed: “[America] can’t expect to be number one in everything indefinitely.” (Self-fulfilling prophecy, anyone? Go team! That’ll sure fire ‘em-up before they hit the field.)
But what’s most outrageous is the demonstrable reality that Obama’s legislative agenda is intentionally designed to do just that – to ensure that America devolves to the lowest common denominator, lining up as but another “also-ran” in today’s neo-Marxist, internationalist horse race.
In addition to his humiliating world apology tour, the president recently gave us a sneak peek into this egalitarian mindset while preaching to the choir at his April 12 Nuclear Security Summit: “Whether we like it or not, we (the United States) remain a dominant military superpower,” he said.
“Whether we like it or not”? That Obama would even preface recognition of America’s precarious role as the “last remaining superpower” with “like it or not” betrays his fixed membership among the camp of self-loathing “or nots.”
I’ve been reluctant to climb aboard the “Obama wants to destroy America” conspiracy train. I’m no longer reticent to do so. As Newt Gingrich recently observed, we know this administration to be “far and away the most radical administration in American history.”
Although he may not seek to destroy America outright, we can only conclude – based upon his grossly irrational and irresponsible governance – that Obama remains determined to destroy America both as we know her and as our Founding Fathers intended her.
It’s our own fault, really (by “our” I mean “you” if you voted for him). We should have taken this radical ideologue at his radical word.
Remember? During his Inaugural Address, Obama promised to “begin again the work of remaking America.” That’s “remake” America, not “improve” America or even “reform” America. It has always been this man’s “hope” to “change” our nation by wiping clean the slate – “remaking” an America in his own secular-humanist, neo-Marxist self-image.
Obama Has Embarked Upon The Most Brazen, Slash-And-Burn Socialist Restructuring Scheme In Our Nation’s History:
And that’s exactly what he’s doing. Obama has embarked upon the most brazen, slash-and-burn socialist restructuring scheme in our nation’s history. This president is many things, but he’s not stupid. He knows full well that his massive government takeover of health care, coupled with his global warmist “cap-and-trade” tax scheme – and his broader tax-and-spend-during-deep-recession game of economic Russian roulette – are UNDENIABLY UNSUSTAINABLE.
Not only will these policies bring down the private insurance industry (part of the plan), they will – if let stand – bring down the whole of private industry, crashing our entire free-market system (again, part of the plan).
It’s already happening. AT&T, Verizon, Deere and Caterpillar are but the first among an anticipated cavalcade of major corporations expecting to suffer a multi-billion dollar bloodbath at the hands of Obamacare – merely one of the president’s radically sweeping, game-changing initiatives. (Congratulations, Mr. President.)
As every good Marxist knows – to include the “man-child president” (as dubbed by Rush Limbaugh) – it’s all unsustainable. Scary thing is: It’ll work if they’re not stopped at the ballot box come November.
As reported by FoxNews.com: “‘The future of the economic might of this nation is at stake,’ Jim Kessler, vice president for policy at Third Way bluntly observes.
“President Obama’s budget forecast for the next decade (grossly underestimated) projects an additional $10 trillion in deficit spending, more than doubling the current national debt to a staggering $20 trillion.
“The gloomy forecast leads some analysts like former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin to suggest our economy is headed for a cliff.
War To Preserve Liberty, National Sovereignty, National Solvency And American Exceptionalism:
Intelligence suggests we have an enemy within.
“‘This looks like Thelma and Louise to me. I mean, you know, there’s the Grand Canyon and we’re going to hit the accelerator. Why? You should hit the brake and then turn the car around.”
But Thelma and Louise never intended to turn the car around.
Neither does Barack Obama.
There’s no other way to say it. As goes the war to preserve liberty, national sovereignty, national solvency and American exceptionalism: Intelligence suggests we have an enemy within.”

Barack Obama: Enemy Within

Some Comments from this Article:
“Obama has only been in office for more than a year and he has divided and destroy America already more than any one else or any army from any other country. Obama and the Clintons are using the rule book from Marxism to discredit anybody that stands in their way. But still the main stream media is sound asleep and report none of this. Some how we need to get the word out to everybody and we need to make a stand all together instead of having all these different groups, Tea party for one and all the many other different groups, come together and we can stand and win. We all need to put our differences aside and stand as one! Obama is the enemy of the American people and the life in America as we know it, do not be fooled. Obama is the worse enemy and traitor we have ever seen. Thank God I did not vote for this enemy.

“Great article, Matt. How do we get the message to 300 million people? Unfortunately, there are many, many, many that will choose to ignore the evidence before them, or simply don’t want to believe it. What they believe is that things, i.e., going to the mall, taking a vacation, seeing a ball game, and so on, will be the same as before except that the government will provide everything they could ever need without that pesky little detail of having to pay for it. The latest number is that 47% of those filing tax returns paid no taxes last year. That number was 10% – 15% in the Eighties. We cannot continue along this course. The man needs to go. How can enough pressure be brought to bear to force him to resign?

“Good article. The “enemy within” goes much deeper than the Mao-Tse-Bama who is merely their PR agent (their “boy”).
In 1954 the House of Representatives investigated tax free foundations to see what justified their being excused from paying taxes that the common citizen is obliged to pay.
It was reported to this investigating committee that the reason for this tax exemption was so that these foundations could use their grant making powers to “alter”(CHANGE) life in the US so that it could be merged with the Soviet Union. This is TREASON!
Anyone with an IQ above the single digits with his eyes open can see that this is precisely what has been happening in this country for more than half a century.
This is the “CHANGE” the Mao-Tse-Bama and liberals are alluding to. This is their agenda.
The USSR Constitution provides that: “the citizen of the USSR is entitled to FREE MEDICAL SERVICE”. That is the goal of Obama-care. He will not rest until this is achieved. That is his purpose.
Incidentally, it also says: “the church in the USSR (not in the USA) is separated from the state”. Our organic law says: “religion and education are necessary and essential to good government”.
Can anyone deny that our country has been overthrown?

STRIVING for exceptionalism in one’s moral and Constitutional principles, and STRIVING to be the BEST example to the rest of the world, does NOT mean that we are perfect or that we never make mistakes. Nor does it mean that we want an “EMPIRE”. If we had wanted an Empire . . . in the TERRITORIAL sense . . . we would have NEVER given back to Japan, Germany, Italy, or even the Philippines, their independence after WW II.

“Good Article – as far as it goes. But I vigorously disagree about the alleged intellect of the alleged president. His past, now that it is beginning to emerge from the imposed shroud of deceit and myth, is showing Obama for what he is – decidedly second rate – if not third rate. His Columbia, Harvard, and Univ. of Chicago positions are revealed as thrust upon those institutions, having NOTHING to do with intellectual merit. In fact – and it’s high time this was discussed and investigated – the powers and money that CREATED Obama need to be identified and pilloried! “Follow the Money”. Not a hard task when you’re talking the kind of bucks and positioning that was enabled by the Puppeteers. Now just WHO comes to mind???

“You have awakened a sleepy giant. I enjoy reading all these columns but I really would like to see these same articles in our American press. (ha) I am trying to educate the O’Bama voters by sending these articles to them but they only reply “that’s propaganda, don’t believe it.” Do you realize how high the hair on the back of my neck goes? What can we do to make them understand how they have contributed to our demise?
I suppose they have tunnel vision and all they can see is the rosy picture our commander in chief is spurting. WE THE PEOPLE have the power to rid us of this Marxist. The power is in the ballot box. God Bless America.

A Comment From:
Aristotle the Hun // Apr 16, 2010 at 1:53 am
“Don’t Follow Leaders!”
Bob Dylan
The ancient Samuel was a prophet, based at Shiloh, who went throughout the land, from place to place, with unwearied zeal, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting the people to repentance.
Sam speaks The Words: How long must you suffer from your foolishness? For more than two millennia you have suffered the consequences of choosing to be a nation ruled by men. I am attached to you. I am closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet. We live and move and derive our very being from within the same Spirit so I have suffered with you and you are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.
But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to govern us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
And the LORD said to Samuel, “Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
According to all the deeds which they have done to me, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. And the LORD said to Samuel, “Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. According to all the deeds which they have done to me from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.”
We have suffered together for lengths of time that groan under the yearning for enlightenment and repentance. Thousands upon Thousands of seasons have come and gone and even though you were warned at the beginning, yet we suffer.
Thus said the Lord: Now then, hearken to their voice; only, you shall solemnly warn them, and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.
So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking a king from him. He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots; and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.
He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.
He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.
He will take your menservants and maidservants, and the best of your cattle and your asses, and put them to his work.
He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.
And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No! but we will have a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
And when Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of the LORD.
And the LORD said to Samuel, “Hearken to their voice, and make them a king.” First Samuel 8: 6-21
+++++++++++++++++++++
And now your slavery is more of a burden than before. Now your slave masters demand more than one tenth of the wealth you have created and being a slave to the Pharoses of old seems easier. I ache to end your slavery, and yet you steadfastly embrace that which pierces you with arrows and shackles your very being. You chose to be ruled by humans rather than God and so you will suffer until you repent and return to the Lord of All. God isn’t pushy. You have been allowed to make complete fools of yourselves and chose bondage over freedom.”
+++++++++++++++++++++
This is for Jbjd… Although I know Military Law and the International Treaties it must also stay consistent with, I am not a Lawyer.. I would like to turn this over to you to evaluate. You did a good job the other day with what you presented, but as I said.. There is more to Military Law than just the UCMJ when it comes to a Courts-Martial of this caliber. The Lt. Col. is a dually Commissioned Military Officer, and it is not only his job, but his duty to disobey orders he thinks might be unconstitutional as we discussed yesterday or the day before about Military Oaths.
MCM 14.c(2)(b) Sub (2),(a.i,ii) Inference of Lawfullness.
i. An order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful and is disobeyed at the peril of a subordinate. The inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.
ii. Determination of Lawfulness.
The lawfulness of an order is a question of law to be determined by a Military Judge.
Ahh…Different Rule, however this is also a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.. First and foremost, Military Law is also subject to and subservient to international treaties such the Geneva Conventions, and the international Laws of War… Bare with me, this may twist your brains a bit…
Under the Geneva Conventions, any military member found to be operating under an illegitimate/unlawful Leadership on a field of war will be subject to prosecution as a War Criminal. As we know, via the Nuremberg trials… Ignorance of an Unlawful order is not an excuse, justification, or reason to carry it out. You will be tried, and you will most likely be executed for doing so if found guilty of the offence.
Therefore under (i) The inference dose not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.
Fact of redress, until there is a clear cut answer as to the eligibility issue of a lawful Commander in Chief directing the US Military, all military members are being ordered into the commission of crimes (war Crimes) as outlined in the Geneva Conventions and the international Laws of War.
Ergo, the law of Command responsibility, sometimes referred to as the Yamashita standard or the Medina standard, is the doctrine of hierarchical accountability in cases of war crimes:
Codification:
The first international treaty to comprehensively codify the doctrine of command responsibility was the Additional Protocol I (“AP I”) of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
Article 86(2) states that: the fact that a breach of the Conventions or of this Protocol was committed by a subordinate does not absolve his superiors from …responsibility … if they knew, or had information which should have enabled them to conclude in the circumstances at the time, that he was committing or about to commit such a breach and if they did not take all feasible measures within their power to prevent or repress the breach.
Article 87 obliges a commander to “prevent and, where necessary, to suppress and report to competent authorities” any violation of the Conventions and of AP I.
In Article 86(2) for the first time a provision would “explicitly address the knowledge factor of command responsibility.
Definitions:
In the discussion regarding “command responsibility” the term “command” can be defined as
A De jure (legal) command, which can be both military and civilian. The determining factor here is not rank but subordination.
Four structures are identified:
Policy command: heads of state, high-ranking government officials, monarchs
Strategic command: War Cabinet, Joint Chiefs of Staff
Operational command: military leadership; in Yamashita it was established that operational command responsibility cannot be ceded for the purpose of the doctrine of command responsibility – operational commanders must exercise the full potential of their authority to prevent war crimes, failure to supervise subordinates or non-assertive orders don’t exonerate the commander.
Tactical command: direct command over troops on the ground
International case law has developed two special types of “de jure commanders.”
Prisoners-of-war (POW) camp commanders: the ICTY established in Aleskovski that POW camp commanders are entrusted with the welfare of all prisoners, and subordination in this case is irrelevant.
Executive commanders: supreme governing authority in the occupied territory – subordination is again irrelevant, their responsibility is the welfare of the population in the territory under their control, as established in the High Command and Hostages cases after World War II.
De facto (factual) command, which specifies effective control, as opposed to formal rank. This needs a superior-subordinate relationship. Indicia are:
Capacity to issue orders.
Power of influence: influence is recognized as a source of authority in the Ministries case before the US military Tribunal after World War II.
Evidence stemming from distribution of tasks: the ICTY has established the Nikolic test – superior status is deduced from analysis of distribution of tasks within the unit, it applies both to operational and POW camp commanders.
Additional Protocol I and the Statutes of the ICTY, the ICTR, and the ICC makes prevention or prosecution of crimes mandatory.
Stick with me here….
Likewise under (ii) The lawfulness of an order is a question of law to be determined by a Military Judge. This means that although the Military Judge will not address the lawful/unlawfulness of O to be President or CINC as stated in the Courts-Martial. He will never-the-less need to have O’s vital documents read into the record as evidence in order to make a decision on the lawfulness of the orders to have final word on the Courts-Martial. Thus in order for him to make a decision under the UCMJ, he will also have to take into account the provisions of the Geneva Conventions and the internal laws of war
If the CINC refuses to grant those vital documents, then the Military Judge will have no choice than exonerate. Likewise, although the Military Judge can not press the issue of discerning the legitimacy should those vital documents show the CINC not to be a Natural Born Citizen… He will by law, none-the-less have to pass those documents off to the Civilian authority over the military for any legal recourse or action. Which would be the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of State at the bare minium.
I’m stuck in Moderation Hell again….LOL!

Mad TV – Condoleezas Emergency Press Conference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv2vZ978LO4
Separation of Church and State was introduced in 1947 by Justice Hugo Black and an activist Supreme Court which gave an absolute definition of the First Amendment Establishment Clause in Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 18 that went far beyond the original intent of the Framers. Without legal precedents to support its decision, the Court reversed 150 years of Constitutional precedent with a ruling that created a radical disassociation between religion and the State. Black used a quotation written by Thomas Jefferson in a private letter fourteen years after the First Amendment was ratified in 1789 to interpret the Constitution. If the Court wanted to use private writings, they could have introduced the private letters of other Founders to give context to the original intent and meaning of the Constitution which would have debunked their ruling.
The Founders incorporated Christianity and its principle biblical teachings into their laws, governing bodies, state charters and state constitutions as the authority for a moral and civilized society. The tradition of designating an official day of prayer began with the Continental Congress in 1775. The First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving was given by the Continental Congress in 1777. President George Washington issued a National Day of Thanksgiving Proclamation on October 3, 1789 and then again in 1795.
Yet progressive judges today would have Americans believe that the Founders acted unconstitutionally and violated the very document they had just created to govern the United States.
Magna Carta or whoever was having dog poop thrown in their yard, etc.

Lawsuits and no STANDING.
I bet if Tim Turner or a Sovereign American filed a Lawsuit about the USURPING Prez and US CORPORATION CEO it would not be dismissed for STANDING.
We have been told through official channels that charges against LTC Lakin will be handed down shortly–perhaps as early as tomorrow.
We have not reached our goal to raise $50,000 to hire civilian counsel to represent LTC Lakin, and, confidentially, are only about half way there.
Terry needs civilian counsel NOW and not just anyonesomeone who is both a proven trial lawyer and a proven conservative who will champion both Terry and our cause to uphold the Constitutions requirement that only natural born citizens hold the highest office in the land.

Thank you, Philo, for the information with regard to the “doctrine” of Separation of Church and State.
Could you please provide a link from where this information came…Thanks.
This info will help me “clear the air” with some of my friends who seem to believe there is no “reference, rhyme, and/or reason” anywhere with respect to this “doctrine.”
Happy Day…Linda

Justice Thomas: ‘The court is ‘avoiding’ the Natural Born Citizen question.

A curious thing happened in the Supreme Court budget hearing yesterday. Rep. Joe Serrano went on a long monologue about ‘diversity’ in the court and even said he would be glad when the day came, that a Puerto Rican could be president…to which Thomas replied that the court was avoiding that question. Nervous laughter ensues and the topic is quickly dropped. I’d like to know what my fellow FReepers think of the exchange.
It happens around the 1:13-1:14:10 mark in the video. It would be great if someone could isolate that exchange and put it on YouTube so everyone could hear it without sitting through the entire hearing.

All one has to do to think that the founders had NO PROBLEM WITH RELIGION in gov’t is look at how they conducted themsleves in gov’t and some of it still happens today.
They held prayer before any work was done.
They refered to GOD in most all their works including the COnstitutions.
They had chapels in The Capitol and other palces.
They placed God in our money.
They gave prefential treatment to churches, synagogue’s etc.
They out in place Religious Holidays and honored them.
Thanksgiving is a day to give Thanks to GOD ALMIGHTY which is an American Holiday and all you have to do is read G Washington’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation to know they were giving Thanks to God….not Indians or Turkeys.
They Built a National Cathedral
Separation of church and states was a ONE WAY AMMENDMENT to Limit Gov’t from interfering or picking Religion.
What is happening today is TOTAL opposite/contrary to what the Spearation of Church & Sate was intended to do. They actually are using the power of gov’t to interfere in religion, make laws of religion and interfering with a free practice of religion.
It is an attack on religion and the Constitution.
CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW….
Justice Thomas is eating well.
I think he was saying that he is giving Serrano another option…meaning that he too may one day run for USURPER
Leftist Judge Rules National Day of Prayer Is
Unconstitutional

Peter: @ 9:10 AM
Peter, I totally agree with your list of “action items.” I think the “Founders” had no intention of excluding God from their lives or their effort to govern responsibly. These “actions” warm my heart and at the same time, distress me because of the “Sadistic Satanic Slobs” in the current administration.
“What is happening today is TOTAL opposite/contrary to what the Separation of Church & Sate was intended to do. They actually are using the power of gov’t to interfere in religion, make laws of religion and interfering with a free practice of religion.”
Sadly, this is true as well.

I really think Obama and his minions thought his Eligibility Issue would disappear once he took the throne.
I will also add that I think they are in panic mode that this Issue has swelled to the proportions it has.
Now we have a SCOTUS member talking publically about it.
It took 2 young adults with a camera to bring down ACORN when all the “powerful” failed. My guess is it could be a kid who is a Hacker that will get Obambi’s info from Occidental (forget getting the Vault BC from Hawaii because it does NOT exist).
Supreme Court Jude Clarence Thomas needs to be flooded with letters asking hm to clarify his comments regarding the court’s avoidance of the eligibility issue. I mean, these people are supposed to be the final arbiters in defense of the Constitution, right? What happens when not even the Supreme Court is willing to defend Article II, Section I, Clause 5?
This looks really bad when even a presumed strict constitutionalist such as Judge Thomas is not willing to interpret the Constitution as it pertains to presidential eligibility. Wow, we are in a bad place in our country. Flood him with letters. Hold him to the fire.

magna carta // April 17, 2010 at 9:09 am
Hey, Magnanimous! How are ya?
Justice Thomas: “The court is ‘avoiding’ the Natural Born Citizen question.”
It may be he is “avoiding” this question because of the possible LTC Lakin Courts Marshal since his questioning the eligibility of the C-I-C has been “in the news.” He might not want to “compromise” any “ongoing investigation” as well or even be accused of doing that.
IMHO, it would be inappropriate for him to “comment” on this due to the ongoing “public” discussion of this issue and pending court cases. It might be seen as him “rendering” an opinion “before the fact” or trying to influence public opinion.
I think he is wise to “skirt” the issue at this point in time…but, that is JMHO.
Happy Day…Linda
FINALLY, something good from my home state…makes me PROUD!

——————————-
Progressive secularists assert that the most prominent Founders were Deists or Unitarians by pointing to broad statements made by Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, John Adams, Madison, and Hamilton as proof they were not Christians. The term deist as defined today is sometimes used synonymously with agnostic and atheist but each has a distinct and different meaning. An atheist believes in the existence of no God. An agnostic is uncertain if there is a God. A deist (as defined during the Founder’s generation) believed in a Supreme Creator of the Universe who was no longer involved in worldly affairs. Those few deists among the Founders believed in God and the principle teachings of the bible, but they were skeptical of the divinity of Jesus Christ and organized religion. While many of the Founders often referred to God with such general terms as Supreme, Being, Almighty, Benefactor, Author and Creator, they acknowledged his active participation in the world through providence, guidance, blessing and protection of the nation. Historical research clearly shows that none of the Founders fit the definition of a deist as that term is used today and they certainly were not atheists or agnostics.
Unitarianism in 1785 in America, like the term deist, was different than what it means today and a failure to account for the historical changes has caused many modern historians to conclude wrongly that Founders associated with early Unitarianism were not Christians. In 1819, the Unitarian doctrine was defined: “In common with other Christians, they confess that He [Jesus] is the Christ, the Son of the Living God; and in one word, they believe all that the writers of the New Testament, particularly the four Evangelists, have stated concerning him.” Theological Dictionary of 1823.
Thomas said they are “evading” the eligibility issue. Not that Thomas is evading BUT the whole court. If they don’t have at least 4 justices to vote to “look at” something they can’t discuss it or make any rulings.
Also if someone doesn’t file an issue to them to decide/rule on they can’t be pro-active, meaning they can’t just meet and discuss events of the day and then decide lets take a look at this or that issue. They can only make rulings on issues brought to them BY OTHERS. They can’t have an opinion on any matters that is not brought to them by a third party PERIOD. It is not the court of random opinions. The can only give opinions/rulings on actions brought before them.
ATTENTION.
Copy and save the list I posted above by JeffM and keep it with you. That list basically says that all those people were religious people in one fashion or another and believed in God the Creator.
Spread this list far and wide so that people learn what most are making sure it is ridiculed and forgotten.

Thanks! Your short message based on a completely irrelevant issue combined with your “Avoid me at all costs; I am a thoroughly unpleasant person” thread-side manner are sure to strenthen the oust-the-usurper resolve of every patriotic person who reads this thread.
Please post around. You may even influence other lefters to see the right, I mean, light.

I didn’t see any post by this person.
What is this about?
CW,
Sorry to bother you again I know that you are very busy.
Still inquiring about my post of yesterday around 4 AM on RACISM. Please post or at least e-mail it to me and explain why it wasn’t posted.
Thanks and God Bless

Wow! Thank you so much. This will certainly help “color” our discussion with powerful “illumination.”
You are such a blessing! Please continue to “post” and “educate.” I, for one, appreciate your contribution immensely.
God Bless You…Linda

This is The Answer to the Separation of Church and State issue. Our constitution is incomplete and cannot stand alone. Without assuming this foundation, it would have needed to be much larger and include far more text. Without knowing this it cannot be interpreted or applied correctly. Case closed.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
PS Great big thank you to JeffM who is much missed. Please drop us a note if you read this.
May God have you safe and healthy.
JeffM is still a contact on my email……I send and he sends…….he’s okay!
A little OT humor.
I went to Drudge to read an article someone posted up earlier and saw this:
3D-TV health warning: Tuning in can cause confusion, nausea and even fits, says electronics giant.
The first posted comment after the story was this: “side effects such as confusion, nausea, convulsions, altered vision, light-headedness, dizziness, and involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching and cramps.” Interesting, … I get the same thing when I listen to Obama talking!
