Ann Richards in the Spotlight

Published December 27th, 2011 in Culture. 0 Comments

There is something about the Yankee actress, Holland Taylor playing Ann Richards that I find bizarre and laughable at the same time. What makes it worse is that there are some reporters who interview her for political opinions on contemporary politics. What makes a Yankee actress any kind of expert on Texas politics?

Yes, Ann Richards was an icon in Texas. She also gave us the horrid Robin Hood funding, took Texas into a moral cesspool with her approval of the lottery and campaigned vigorously for the approval of NAFTA. Although her supporters claim she did much for Texas, she stole from rich school districts and their tax payer supporters in an effort to ’spread the wealth’. She lied to us about what the lottery was really being used for. With her NAFTA support, she sold a lot of Texas sovereignty down the river. Bear in mind that George H.W. Bush and her worked closely together on the NAFTA deal. It was a matter of both the left and the right working against conservative values on that one. (Remember George Wallace’s quote about how there is not a dime’s worth of difference between them?).

Now Holland Taylor is in a one-woman show in the Imperial City (Mordor on the Potomac if you wish) peddling this play. Ann Richards was definitely entertaining, yet her policy was not in the best interest of Texas, private property rights, State Sovereignty or numerous other issues. I am reminded of the verse in Proverbs about how a foolish woman destroys her own house one brick at a time. Ann destroyed a great deal of Texas law with her policies. It says a lot about the Imperial City when such iconoclasts as Ann Richards are their role models. It also says a lot about the plastic unrealness, when a Yankee is portraying what is supposed to be a Texas icon.

Instead of plastic imitations of political hacks, we need truth. We need a presentation of facts, and the shambles she made of Texas schools, Texas liberties and Texas rights.

Liberty for Texas!

P.S. Since I wrote this post several school districts in Texas have filed lawsuits to undo Ann Richard’s infamous ‘Robin Hood’ plan.

The Empire is Hungry!

Published December 27th, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The Empire’s agents are on the lookout for new sources of revenue. In the latest episode, DOJ officials are threatening Swiss banks with more legal action in an effort to have them turn over names of account holders. The DOJ has continued to pound UBS with legal actions in their efforts at breaking the back of Swiss banking secrecy laws, and to intimidate citizens subjects into unquestioned compliance submission. These actions are not limited to Swiss banks, warrants are also being requested to investigate property transfers for little or no money where the property went to children or grandchildren.

What the public does not realize is that with each expansion of power, the laws are changing. The laws that once protected people no longer provide protection from snooping government agents. This should not be a surprise to Southrons who recognize that an empire that sells guns to criminals and drug lords, endangering its own agents and people would respect the laws of other nations. If you wonder, “How could this happen?” Look at their chief executive who endorses a fake holiday (Kwanza).

When fairy tales are treated as real, than things like real laws are treated as fairy tales. That is as simple as it gets.

It is time for many of you to wake up for a good cup of coffee.

True heroes and press coverage

Published December 23rd, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

True heroes often do not receive the press coverage that the hooligans do. Recently Vclav Havel died. He had a long history of seeking freedom for the Czech people from the oppressions of communism. He broadcast for the free Czech radio station when the Russians invaded his homeland in 1968. He was an advocate for non-violent resistance to oppression. He also spoke out against the violation of human rights in many circumstance. He eventually led his beloved Czecheslovakia to freedom and the peaceful secession of the Czech Republic from Slovakia.

Contrast him with the leader of North Korea (Kim Jong II) who died this same week. There were many stories on his death, despite his oppression of Christians with torture and incarceration. Rather than help his nation make room for secession, he kept up the rhetoric and threats of war. The United Nations even had a moment of silence in his honor.
 The men they honor says a great deal about what they truly value.

Although Hillary Clinton is being sent to represent the empire at Havel’s funeral, more press has been devoted to Kim Jong II. Had the empire followed Havel’s example and allowed peaceful secession, there would be fewer social and political problems.

Who men honor says a great deal about their values. Let us remember Vcalav Havel who gave the world a peaceful modern secession.

Whatever happened to market freedoms?

Published December 16th, 2011 in Economic Independence and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The empire meddles in the policy of States as we have seen with immigration policy with Alabama and EPA regulations with Texas. Now the CONgress is taking the step of telling advertisers where they can advertise. After Lowe’s responded to consumer complaints and removed its support for “American Muslim”, there has been outrage in leftist circles. A group of 29 CONgress critters are now calling on Lowe’s to re-instate their ads on the show. The hubris of their demand is stunning. They want to tell a company where they advertise. Imagine if they told you where you can and can not advertise.

This is straight up fascism. The government is trying to tell business where they can and can not put their advertising dollars. This amounts to the empire showing favoritism toward one group over other groups. Talk about violation of civil rights. These 32 CONgress critters are intentionally interfering in free trade, which is in violation of the Constitution, but … do you think they care or bother to follow the rules?

Here is a partial list of the fascist CONgress critters who want to interfere with your market freedoms.

Hansen Clarke (D-Detroit),
Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Twp.)
John Dingell (D-Dearborn)
Chris Murphy (D-CT.)
Keith Ellison (D-MI)
Mike Honda (D-CA)
Bill Pascarell (D-NJ)
Andre Carson (D-)

The irony is that Kayak.com also pulled its ads, yet few are protesting or speaking out about their actions, since they are small fish compared to Lowe’s. The whole thing smells more of a shake down than a legitimate protest. Kayak stated its reason as being “the show just sucked”. That is pretty plain and simple.

We need liberty, rather than meddling. We need liberty for people and businesses to advertise where they please and conduct business without government meddling.

Liberty for Texas!

Posturing for the 2012 election

Published December 14th, 2011 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

Eric Holder (who has already killed many Americans with Fast and Furious) is now pressuring Texas concerning voting. In the latest round, he wants us to expand voting to more people rather than be responsible and insure that there is no voting fraud. The irony is overwhelming. Mr. irresponsible is choosing not to do his job of preventing voter fraud and instead taking steps to increase the likelihood of voter fraud, all on the backs of Texans. Once again, the federal DOJ is telling Texas how to do things rather than to mind their own business.

His attitude is that “All citizens should be automatically registered to vote.” His rhetoric sounds good, but it means that he wants criminals, felons and other citizens to vote. The real irony is that he made this speech at the Lyndon Johnson Library. The humor of choosing the library of Landslide Lyndon who was known for voter fraud as the location to speak on creating more voters is striking. The symbolism of the speech is telling. Eric Holder is using the library dedicated to the source of voter fraud to want more voters. I wonder if this regime does such things on purpose or whether they are really that ignorant of what they are doing.

Instead of more voter fraud, we need responsible laws. Instead of irresponsible federal policies, we need a government that respects the laws of Texas.

Feds want murder subsidized in Texas

Published December 13th, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

When the Texas legislature took the bold move of de-funding Planned Parenthood, they were taking steps of preserving life. Anytime the empire gives money, there are strings attached. The empire does not want States deciding how they spend money. In terms of money given for Health and Human Services, the empire has taken steps to block the defunding of Planned Parenthood. Whether of not you want to think of it this way, their action amounts to forcing Texas to subsidize murder in the State. The empire has not allowed for any other option. The action taken by the Texas legislature merely refused sending Medicaid checks to providers who offer services, such as abortion (murder on demand) which are NOT covered by Medicaid. So, with the federal monies, abortions were not being paid for, yet, the State is not allowed to decide which providers are paid and which are not. The empire wants its murderers paid!

The empire’s spokesperson, Cindy Mann, is a Yankee-educated lawyer who functions as a career bureaucrat in federally funded healthcare agencies. Mann stated, “…The issue here is not whether Medicaid funding is involved but whether the state can restrict access to a qualified health provider simply because they provide other services Medicaid doesn’t pay for.” Although the Obama regime is going to let Texas continue its policy until March, at that time, they will be forced to discuss this matter with federal officials (e.g. another case of the State having to get federal permission). Mann claims that the actions of Texas violate the Social Security Act and ignored the fact that her actions violate the 10th amendment (USCON).

Although New Hampshire also chose to defund Planned Parenthood in its State, they did so for other reasons, such as the directors are each paid a six figure salary annually.

What is at stake here is whether a State can dictate its own business, since a large amount of State monies are mixed with the federal monies. This is a State sovereignty issue. If the feds believe that a woman has the right to her own body, does that logic apply to States having the right to determine what goes on in their corporate body? If we use the empire’s logic, the State is not allowed to control its own affairs.

Recall that the only reason that abortion is legal is that the Supreme Court struck down the Texas laws in Rowe v. Wade which prohibited it. Sarah Weddington was coached by one of the Supreme Court justices on how to win her case before them, yet that point was never raised as a conflict of interest as the empire steamrolled over the sovereignty of Texas in that matter. The meddling of the federal courts in Texas law has only led to bloodshed on a massive scale and the development of the abortion industry, which the empire wants subsidized. The feds don’t mind interfering with cheese making, dairy farming or making guitars, but they sure want to protect their murderers.

We did not need the feds meddling back in 1973, and we certainly do not need them meddling now.

Liberty for Texas!

Following the Nazi Playbook

Published December 8th, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The Obama regime is taking more actions steps following the Nazi playbook. The Nazi regime made it a point to re-define terms in order to further their agenda. This regime has already reclassified terrorists and what the definition of terrorist is. The latest is reclassifying the terrorists attack at Ft. Hood as ‘workplace violence’. By taking this step, ‘radical islam’ is not considered a threat. The regime is also redefining ‘rape’. (ed.-Although the redefinition regarding rape needed some changes, I still wonder what the empire is doing policing crimes such as this, which should be a matter of local law enforcement. The Constitution does not give them that power. By policing such crimes, they are overstepping their authority.)

Remember back in 2009, when the term ‘enemy combatants‘ was changed to ‘persons the president has the authority to detain‘ ? With the action of the Senate, under the new definition, the head of the regime now has broadened his power and authority. Notice how the term terrorist has changed to include ‘domestic terrorists’ as well. The term domestic terrorist now means attempting to influence government by intimidation or coercion.

The Nazi regime were masters at changing the meaning of words. This regime is doing the same thing. When members of the regime speak, you may think you understand what they are saying, but the definitions of the terms are very different than what you think they mean. This is what the Nazi regime did.

Instead of politicos who change the meanings of words, and obfuscate their real message, we need leaders who mean what they say and say what they mean. We need clear talking leadership. We need a government that operates within the legal parameters it was given. We need the Feds out of Dixie! We need leaders who call terrorists attacks what they are instead of redefining them as workplace violence. Slapping a fellow employee is workplace violence. Attacking them with guns while shouting “Allah Akbar!” is a terrorist attack by radical Islam.

Obama speaks the truth-for once!

Published December 6th, 2011 in Web/Tech, Culture and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

While on a speaking tour of the midwest, President Obama visited Kansas. He opened his speech by telling the audience “It’s great to be back in the State of Texas!” (http://bcove.me/7f92sme5) . Remember that portions of Kansas once belonged to Texas. It was only when the Congress violated the Constitution and created new States out of portions of Texas that once contained portions of Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado. Although he has not likely studied Texas history, this gaff is ‘inspired’. In the same speech he also claimed that now is the “Make or break” moment for the middle class. This is also ironic, since his regime has done it’s darndest to break the middle class and incite further class warfare in the empire.

In his typical style of audacity, he even went so far as to blame the internet for recent job losses. (”Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn’t just affect blue collar workers. If you were a bank teller or a phone operator or a travel agent, you saw many in your profession replaced by ATMs and the internet,“) This is the same President that wants more internet as per his jobs speech on September 8 of this year (”The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. It will put people to work right now fixing roofs and windows, installing science labs and high-speed Internet in classrooms all across this country”.) So is he wanting to kill more jobs? Does he view the internet as good or bad? Or is this another one of his hypnotic statements which he often includes to ‘zone out’ his audience? Who knows for sure. I know that hot water and cold water do not come out of the same tap.

There is an old saying that a broken clock is right twice a day. I guess a broken President is right a few times as well.

Liberty for Texas! (and while we are at it, let’s claim our land back, since the whole land deal was filled with deceptive underhanded dealing).

NAACP wants UN meddling in Texas

Published December 6th, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The NAACP has petitioned the UN regarding disenfranchised voters in Texas and other Southern States. They allege that those governments are keeping blacks and hispanics from voting, claiming that as many as 5 million votes are at stake. What the NAACP claims is disenfranchising is that laws in those states keep felons from voting. Since most felons are Blacks and Hispanics, a large portion of them are not allowed to vote. In another example of wrong headed solutions, rather than the NAACP taking steps to reduce the number of felons in their communities, they instead remove the consequences of felony behavior. Following that logic, perhaps the way to reduce murders is to reduce the prosecution of murderers.

Of course the solution to similar issues up at the University of Michigan is to just to remove race from crime alert notices on the campuses. It seems that since more criminal activity on that campus occurs with a particular race, their solution is to quit reporting the race. Ignoring race in reports of criminals at large on campus is not a solution to reduce crime any more than removing the consequences of felony behavior.

The NAACP has already taken steps preventing the SCV from having its license plates in Texas, now they want to prevent criminals from bearing the consequences of their actions. I knew the license plate complaint was a scam from the beginning, as is the UN petitioning. The petitioning of the UN only amounts to asking a third party to monitor elections and involve them in US elections. We do not need the UN, and we do not need felons voting.

Instead of wrong headed answers, UN meddling or censorship of criminal activity, we need common sense solutions. Don’t commit the crime! Don’t steal, Don’t murder! Don’t rape!

Telling others how to live

Published December 3rd, 2011 in Current Affairs. 0 Comments

The empire is truly a Yankee contraption. The Yankee mindset is that it is in their best interest to meddle and tell others how to live their lives. If the empire and its Congress has not meddled in the business of other nations enough, now they are telling Mexico how to treat the illegal immigrants in that sovereign nation. I was particularly struck by the statement that the U.S. has “a clear interest and responsibility” to push Mexico. In other words, there are those in CONgress who believe they need to tell others how to conduct their business. The empire has already done this with Israel, telling them to get back to the ‘damn’ peace table with the illegitimate Palestinians. (It is ironic that Leon Panetta uses the term ‘damn’ since the so-called peace table is cursed already by forcing a sovereign nation to negotiate with terrorists. ) The empire also intervened in Egypt, Libya and a host of other nations. The empire also strong armed UBS and Credit Suisse into complying with the empire by using threats.

So whether you are a business or a sovereign nation, no one is immune from the meddling arms and eyes of the empire and its meddling Congress.

When the Congress uses the term “interests”, it is a code word that means, they now consider it their business and believe that they are morally justified in meddling.

We need a government that minds its own business rather than meddling in the affairs of others. We need them to protect our borders rather than telling other nations how to handle their illegal immigrants. We need them to mind their own financial business rather than tell banks in other nations how to do things.

We need a return to common sense. We need a return to a Congress that operates within their Constitutional authority rather than overstepping it.

Liberty for Texas!
