The Future of Freedom

This is a time of great turmoil for our Republic. Forces of the political Left, under the guise of "Progressive" action, are marshaling forces in Federal and State governments, in local governments and schools, and in our children's minds, to destroy everything that has made the United States of America great.

We have never seen this much subversion and coercion applied in so many areas of American life as we see exerted by this President; this Congress; these Marxist organizations; these unions. The assault on Capitalism and our nation is exemplified in the video, "The Story of Stuff," now being shown to school children across the country and outside it. This video, produced by the Soros-funded Tides Foundation, a Marxist entity, is a shocking example of back-door subversion that has slipped by us as we worked to support our families and enrich our futures. We have been distracted too long. We must act!

We have, too long, allowed schools, universities, unions and subversive organizations to thrive while we have been distracted. I, for one, will not allow it. Many, many millions of Americans are with me. We have no support from the Left-pandering media. They are a complete failure. They are now the "fringe media" rather than the "mainstream media."

Yet, we are not alone, for we have commentators and bloggers and Fox News and talk radio. We have the moral high-ground. We have a spiritual underpinning that is rooted in the freedom of the human spirit. Every time a politician attempts to take away our hard-earned money, our health-care choices, our liberty, our right to speak our minds, our children's minds, or our self-determination, they are acting unconstitutionally. One must find the moral strength to stand and not be moved, even in the face of force by a tyrannical government. This is the legacy we were handed by our Founders and the generations past. It is what they fought for and died for.

I am not for violence. I have spent my life defending my country and the rule of law. But let this be my epitaph: Should forces of subversion, whether inside the government or outside it, attempt to corrupt my Constitution further, I will resist with all my might. I will resist with all my skill and effort to use communication and persuasion within my power. I am an old man now. My primary career days are behind me. But now I am on a mission to save my beloved country from an evil that cannot stand. If that makes me dangerous in the eyes of my enemies, then they at least have some grasp of reality! But dangerous to who? To my country? No! To my neighbors? No! Our Founders, in their writings and documents, noted that all Americans are part of the Militia; not some radical right-wing entity, but "we the people."

We the people cast off the nanny state and its political corruption. We know what our country and our government are: The Constitution and the people. You are on notice, Marxists, Communists, Socialists, crooks, liars, corrupt politicians. GET OUT... or you will be thrown out!

California Water Issue a Constitutional One

Californians, and through the food they normally grow for the nation and the world, Americans, are suffering under a water restriction to protect a two-inch bait fish. As mentioned by a lawyer who is representing a farmer in California’s central valley, the root of the “water problem” is a Constitutional one. Politicians, including many California governors, have let the Federal government overstep the bounds of the U.S. Constitution for more than 100 years. The 10th Amendment to the Constitution is clear that the Federal government’s authority is very narrow. All authority and law not assigned to the Federal government under that narrow assignment is “reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” Therefore, the Federal government has NO AUTHORITY to regulate water or fish or anything that has nothing to do with interstate commerce. The Feds will try to say that the water is used to grow food that is shipped out of state, but that is a stretch we must resist.

The courts that have helped abrogate the Constitution are, themselves, violating the Constitution. In the face of so much long-standing corruption of Constitutional principles by politicians and courts, it is hard to imagine where to start. But, I think, the answer is simple. The Chief Executive of a state should be (SHOULD BE) living up to his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He takes an oath to the state Constitution, too, but both must be “Constitutional.”

Many who are used to abusing the Constitution will say it’s impossible. Many will say this idea is too simplistic. Bah! A State Executive (Governor) should (SHOULD) be brave enough to have moral principles. Watching people starve and lose their life’s work for some fish or for some political football like the Endangered Species Act and doing nothing but talk is an act of cowardice. We are supposed to be a “Nation of Laws.” But the supreme law is the Constitution! Schwarzenegger, as the State Executive, by an executive order, should have the moral strength to order his state employees to TURN ON THE WATER, whether a Federal judge or the Obama administration agrees or not. He could order it to be done! It would be done.

The state and its governor would be threatened with Federal sanction, removal of other Federal funds, court action, etc. But that is what a LEADER does… the right thing! Look the Federal thugs in the eye and say, “Make me!” It takes guts! Let the Supreme Court fiddle with the details later. The Constitution is on your side. We must hammer it into Gov. Schwarzenegger’s head. Tell him to live up to the image he created in his professional life… the fighter for good! Begin a 10th Amendment media blitz in writing and TV. Read the Constitution and 10th Amendment. Help to get Schwarzenegger to do this and STOP THE TALK. Time to act! TURN ON THE WATER!
