from "Freedom is worth fighting for"
"The Constitution for the United States of America was established as an inspired ensign and standard of liberty for all. It is the only constitution based foremost upon the rights and liberties of a free and independent people who are superior to government, having government as their servant rather than as their master. We revere the founding documents of America, honor the men who framed them, and ascribe all honor and glory to the God who inspired them. We claim, second to worshiping God, that our greatest responsibility as Americans is vigilance in protecting our God-given Constitution and rights, both for ourselves and our posterity.
We assert that we are in a Constitutional crisis. The major provisions of the Constitution are being compromised and our God-given rights are being intruded upon or eliminated at an alarming rate. Our educational, economic, social, and political institutions are becoming more perverted. The rights and nature of our national sovereignty, Judeo-Christian heritage, and traditional family, are under escalating attack. We solemnly declare that our Constitution, liberties, and national sovereignty currently hang by a thread. We assert that institutionalized corruption and the loss of our rights and liberties are unconstitutional, unacceptable and inexcusable.
We claim that our Constitutional Republic can still be fully restored by lawful means, but only to the extent that We The People stand united and vigilant, as never before, in the cause of freedom.
'The people [not government]... are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.' Thomas Jefferson"
The forces of totalitarianism are attacking our basic Freedoms and principles enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution. We are now embroiled in a desperate battle with these forces to retain Freedoms bequeathed to us by the Founders.
I am convinced that we shall be victorious in retaining our Freedom and defeating the elitist organizations that have control of our governmental process. The Spirit of Freedom is moving in mighty power among the people in our nation. The great majority of Americans still believe in the basic concepts of limited government and Freedom for all people. There are literally thousands of groups springing up now all across America dedicated to defending Freedom in one area or another. I quote from Richard Paul Evans in his book “The Letter”:
“It is often during the worst of times that we see the best of humanity – awakening within the most ordinary of us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is the circumstances that produce such greatness anymore than it is the canvas that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies that the stars are best seen.“
The greatness he speaks about lies within all of us. Our potentials are largely untapped. Let us therefore go forward in this epic endeavor to preserve Freedom and exercise the leadership that Americans expect and deserve. To paraphrase a statement made by Sir Winston Churchill in the dark days of the Battle of Britain,
“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, looking back on our victory, generations yet unborn will say, 'This was Freedom's finest hour!”

The Lawyers' Party By Bruce Walker
from americanthinker.com
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers’ Party .
Barack Obama is a lawyer.
Michelle Obama is a lawyer.
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer.
Bill Clinton is a lawyer.
John Edwards is a lawyer.
Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different.
President Bush is a businessman.
Vice President Cheney is a businessman.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Tom Delay was an exterminator.
Dick Armey was an economist.
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?
Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.
The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers.
Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.
The Lawyers’ Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America .
And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers’ Party, grow.
Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?
Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.
This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers.
Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people.
Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.
Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine.
But it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become “adverse parties” of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.
America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.
When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.
When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of politics by other means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America is too great.
When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
We cannot expect the Lawyers’ Party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America Most Americans know that a republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789.
Most Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy.
Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business.
Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.
Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.
The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers!
Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as “spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you” and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits.
This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party.
When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

To PEE or Not to PEE!
Like most folks in this country, I have a job.
I work, they pay me.
I pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●
In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).
●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●
So, here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BUTT ---- doing drugs while I work.
Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
We could call the program
"URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!
●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●
P.S. Just a thought, all politicians should have to pass a urine test too!
●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●
RE: "helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BUTT"
And, what's up with Welfare, Department of Human Services, & other State funded programs that are set up to aid people in need??? From my experience, they have NOT been very helpful at all in assisting people to get "back on their feet" at all! It seems it is their goal to keep the poor squashed down under the government's giant ass thumb!!!
For instance, I'm struggling and on assistance due to difficulties I experiences from a head injury and Bipolar. I want VERY much to "get on my feet"! But, I have not been able to because I have to spend all of the little bit of money I get each month on food and bills. By the time everything is paid up, I have to scrape by for food, gas, clothes, Mikayla's school supplies, etc... But, Mikayla & I can't get health insurance because S.S. Disability pays me SIXTEEN DOLLARS over the limit for it. And, we can't get help with our groceries because I get SIX DOLLARS over the limit! I want to know how the heck I am supposed to "get back on my feet" when I can't afford to save any money... I struggle working part time and pay taxes to help make up a little extra money for those things. (It is not my intention to whine or make anyone feel sorry for me, I'm just sharing how it is for the honest people like me!)... See More
There's a lot of people on government assistance who are just ass (oops!) happy where they are. They have no desire to better themselves and move on with their lives, letting others who really need help have a chance to get it. If there is mandatory drug testing for all who search for (and for those who are already on) government assistance, MOST of those people would be unable to obstruct the way for us honest people!
