Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.Oldironsideshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.comBlogger1215125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-49222327308463716252023-07-29T19:20:00.002-04:002023-07-29T19:58:41.636-04:00The New Silent Majority<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Democrats have recently adopted a
new attack strategy for anyone who criticizes Barack Hussein Obama.
Instead of making an effort to refute the facts of the criticism they
accuse them of being racist. Here is a bonafide rebutal to these false
charges.</b></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Reparations Petition to Congress</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Demanding a Formal Apology to African Americans</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> for the</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> Democratic Party’s 200-year History of Racism</b></span></div>
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:<span> </span><br />
</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the healing of wounds
begins with an apology, and the Democratic Party has never apologized
for their horrific atrocities and racist practices against African
Americans during the past two hundred years, nor held accountable for
the residual impact that those atrocities and practices are having on us
today<span>, </span><br />
</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas as a result of the1898
Wilmington Race Riot Commission Report of May 31, 2006, the North
Carolina Democratic Party issued a unanimous apology on January 20, 2007
for the Democratic Party’s 1898 murderous rampage against blacks,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas in 2007 the Democrats in
control of Congress refused to pass the H.R. 40 bill, Commission to
Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, that was first
introduced in 1989 and was re-introduced in every Congress since then by
black Democrat Congressman John Conyers of Michigan,<span> </span><br />
</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas inner-city minister Rev.
Wayne Perryman wrote a book, Unfounded Loyalty: An In-depth Look Into
The Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats, and filed a lawsuit
against the Democratic Party on December 10, 2004, but, after admitting
their history of racism under oath in court, the Democrats refused to
apologize,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas history shows that the
Democratic Party through its racist agenda and “States’ Rights” claim to
own slaves, sought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery
from 1792 to 1865, thus enslaving millions of African Americans, while
the Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party and
fought to free blacks from slavery and championed civil rights for
blacks<span>, </span><br />
</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the Democratic Party
enacted Fugitive Slave laws to keep blacks from escaping from
plantations; instigated the 1856 Dred Scott decision which legally
classified blacks as property; passed the Missouri Compromise to spread
slavery into 50% of the new Northern states; and passed the
Kansas-Nebraska Act designed to spread slavery into all of the new
Northern states,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the Democratic Party in
the South formed the Confederacy, seceded from the Union and fought a
Civil War to expand slavery where over 600,000 citizens were killed,
including many thousand blacks,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas starting in 1861,
anti-Civil War Democrats in the North were called “copperheads” like the
poisonous snake because they (a) wanted to appease the South and accept
a negotiated peace that would have resulted in an independent
Confederacy where blacks were kept in slavery, and (b) showed their deep
opposition to the Civil War draft by taking their anger out on blacks,
murdering and maiming blacks in virtually every Northern state,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas anti-Civil War Democrats
in New York engaged in “Four Days of Terror” against the city’s black
population from July 13-16, 1863, and the anti-Civil War chant of the
Democrats, as reported by one Pennsylvania newspaper, was: "Willing to
fight for Uncle Sam", but not “for Uncle Sambo,"</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the anti-Civil War
Democrats verbally attacked Republican President Abraham Lincoln because
he wanted to free the slaves through war and grant blacks civil rights,
and drafted Northern men into the army to fight and die to make his
Emancipation Proclamation a reality – a Proclamation that became the
source of the Juneteenth celebrations that occur in black communities
today,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas after the Civil War, the
Republican Party (a) pushed to amend the Constitution to grant blacks
freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to
vote (15th Amendment); (b) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and
1875; and (c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of
unprecedented political power for African Americans,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas anti-civil rights Democrat
Andrew Johnson became president when Republican President Abraham
Lincoln was assassinated, and after the Civil War, the Democratic Party
fought to end Reconstruction and deny blacks the promised “40 acres and a
mule;” fought to overturn all civil rights legislation from the 1860’s
to the 1960’s; and passed repressive legislation including the Black
Codes and Jim Crow laws,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the book A Short History
of Reconstruction by the renowned historian, Dr. Eric Foner, revealed
that: (a) the Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by Democrats as a
Tennessee social club; (b) the Ku Klux Klan became a military force
serving the interests of the Democratic Party, the planter class, and
all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy; and (c) the Ku
Klux Klan spread into other Southern states, launching a ‘reign of
terror‘ against Republican leaders, black and white,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the book A Short History
of Reconstruction by Dr. Eric Foner exposed the facts that: (a) the
Hayes-Tilden Compromise of 1877 was an attempt by Republicans to get the
Democrats to stop lynching Republicans, black and white, and respect
the rights of blacks; and (b) contrary to legend, President Rutherford
Hayes did not remove the last federal troops from the South, but merely
ordered federal troops surrounding the South Carolina and Louisiana
statehouses to return to their barracks,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas after taking control of
Congress in the late 1800’s, the Democratic Party passed the Repeal Act
of 1894 that overturned all civil rights legislation passed by the
Republicans, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the Democratic Party
supported the Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896 that established the
“separate but equal” segregation doctrine,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas historical documents show
that: (a) in an effort to stop the Democrats from lynching and denying
civil rights to blacks, the NAACP was founded on Republican President
Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday, February 12, 1909, by white
Republicans Oswald Garrison Villard, Mary White Ovington and William
English Walling; and (b) the first black general secretary of the NAACP
was black Republican James Weldon Johnson who became the general
secretary of the NAACP in 1920 and, in 1900, wrote the song, “Lift Every
Voice,” known as the “Black National Anthem” in collaboration with his
brother, John Rosamond Johnson,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas after Democrat President
Woodrow was elected in 1912 and while Congress was controlled by the
Democrats, all black American civil employees where pushed out of
federal government jobs, and the greatest number of bills proposing
racial segregation and discrimination were introduced than had ever been
proposed in our nation’s history,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas even though Democrat
President Franklin D. Roosevelt received the vote of many black
Americans due to his “New Deal,” he banned black American newspapers
from the military because he was convinced the newspapers were
communists and rejected anti-lynching laws pushed by Republicans, as
well as efforts by Republicans to establish a permanent Civil Rights
Commission that did not get established until 1958 under Republican
President Dwight Eisenhower,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrat President Harry
Truman not only rejected Republican efforts to enact anti-lynching laws
and establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission, but also failed to
enforce his 1948 Executive Order designed to desegregate the military,
an order that was not effectively enforced until Republican President
Dwight Eisenhower was elected,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas with the party slogan:
"Segregation Forever!," the Dixiecrats, who were Democrats, (a) formed
the States' Rights Democratic Party for the presidential election of
1948; (b) remained Democrats for all local elections and all subsequent
national elections; and (c) did not all migrate to the Republican Party
as Democrats today falsely claim, but instead the Dixiecrats declared
that they would rather vote for a “yellow dog” than a Republican because
the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas during the civil rights
era of the 1960's, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was a
Republican, was fighting the Democrats including: (a) Democrat Georgia
Governor Lester Maddox who famously brandished ax handles to prevent
blacks from patronizing his restaurant; (b) Democrat Public Safety
Commissioner "Bull" Connor in Birmingham who let loose vicious dogs and
turned fire hoses on black civil rights demonstrators; and (c) Democrat
Alabama Governor George Wallace who stood in front of the Alabama
schoolhouse in 1963 and thundered, "Segregation now, segregation
tomorrow, segregation forever,"</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the Democratic Party
supported the Topeka, Kansas school board in the Brown v. the Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas (a 1954 Supreme Court decision by Chief
Justice Earl Warren who was appointed by Republican President Dwight
Eisenhower) which declared that the “separate but equal” doctrine
violated the 14th Amendment and ended school segregation,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas in 1954, Democrat Arkansas
Governor Orville Faubus tried to prevent the desegregation of a Little
Rock public school, resulting in Republican President Dwight Eisenhower
sending federal troops to prevent violence and enforce a court order
desegregating the Little Rock school,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democratic President John
F. Kennedy was not a civil rights advocate because he: (a) voted against
the 1957 Civil Rights Law (that was pushed by Republican President
Dwight Eisenhower); (b) opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (that was organized by black Republican A.
Phillip Randolph); (c) authorized the FBI (supervised by his brother,
Attorney General Robert Kennedy) to wiretap and investigate Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. on suspicion of being a communist in order to undermine
that Civil Rights leader; (d) was later criticized by Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. for ignoring civil rights issues; and (e) only grudgingly
agreed to make a telephone call to get Dr. King, Jr. out of the
Birmingham jail after Dr. King, Sr. requested Kennedy’s help,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas due to the nearly 100
years of opposition to civil rights laws by Democrats, Republican
Senator Barry Goldwater, who ran for president against Lyndon Johnson in
1964, sought to force the Democrats in the South to stop passing
discriminatory laws and thus end the need to continuously enact federal
civil rights legislation, but his efforts were not heeded by the
Democrats who later unjustly criticized Goldwater,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrat President Lyndon
Johnson could not have achieved passage of civil rights legislation
without the support of Republicans due to the strong opposition of
Democrats, and in his 4,500-word State of the Union Address delivered on
January 4, 1965, Johnson mentioned scores of topics for federal action,
but only thirty five words were devoted to civil rights and not one
word about voting rights,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas it was Republican Senator
Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson,
who was key to the passage of civil rights legislation in 1957, 1960 and
1964, as well as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act
of 1968 which prohibited discrimination in housing,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democratic Senator Robert
Byrd of West Virginia, a former “Keagle” in the Ku Klux Klan, made a
14-hour filibuster speech in the Senate in June 1964 in an unsuccessful
effort to block passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas because Republican Senator
Everett successfully fought to pass civil rights laws in the face of
strong opposition to civil rights laws by the Democrats, Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. hailed Senator Dirksen’s “able and courageous
leadership;” and "The Chicago Defender," the largest black-owned daily
at that time, praised Senator Dirksen “for the grand manner of his
generalship behind the passage of the best civil rights measures that
have ever been enacted into law since Reconstruction,”</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the statement by Democrat
President Lyndon Johnson about losing the South after passage of the
1964 civil rights law was not made out of a concern that racist
Democrats would suddenly join the Republican Party that was fighting for
the civil rights of blacks, but instead, was an expression of fear that
the racist Democrats would again form a third party, such as the
short-lived States' Rights Democratic Party,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas after Democrat President
Lyndon Johnson expressed his concern that the racist Democrats in the
South would be lost after the passage of the 1964 civil rights laws,
Johnson’s concern came true when Alabama’s Democrat Governor George C.
Wallace in 1968 started the American Independent Party that attracted
other racist candidates, including Democrat Atlanta Mayor Lester Maddox,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas in March of 1968, while
referring to the fact that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. left Memphis,
Tennessee after riots broke out where a teenager was killed, Democrat
Senator Robert Byrd called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts
trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited, which
motivated Dr. King to return to Memphis a few weeks later where he was
assassinated on April 4, 1968,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrats expressed
little, if any, concern when the racially segregated South voted solidly
for Democrats; yet unfairly deride Republicans because of the
thirty-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party that
began in the 1970's with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy,"
which was an effort on the part of Nixon to get Christians in the South
to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values, and who
were discriminating against blacks,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Republican President
Richard Nixon established Affirmative Action as a merit-based system to
help African Americans prosper with his 1969 Philadelphia Plan (crafted
by black Republican Art Fletcher) that set the nation's first goals and
timetables, as well as his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that
made merit-based Affirmative Action programs the law of our nation, but
Democrats turned Affirmative Action into an unfair quota system;</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrat Senator Robert
Byrd who was a fierce opponent of desegregating the military complained
in one letter: “I would rather die a thousand times and see old glory
trampled in the dirt never to rise again than see this beloved land of
ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest
specimen of the wilds,”</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas in the early 1970’s,
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd pushed to have the Senate’s main office
building named after a former “Dixiecrat,” Democrat Senator Richard
Russell who was Senator Byrd’s mentor and leading opponent of
ant-lynching legislation, and in 2001 Senator Byrd was forced to
apologize for using the N-word on television,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrats did not denounce
Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd who praised Senator Robert Byrd as
someone who would have been "a great senator for any moment," including
the Civil War; yet Democrats denounced Senator Trent Lott for his
remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond who was never in the Ku Klux Klan
and, after he became a Republican, defended blacks against lynching and
the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas Democrats today demean and
discriminate against blacks including (a) Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy
who called black judicial nominees “Neanderthals;” (b) Democrat Senator
Harry Reid who slurred Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as someone
who could not write good English; (c) Democrat Senator Joe Biden who
boasted that his home state of Delaware was a slave state and slandered
all black former presidential candidates (Rep. Shirley Chisholm who
became the first black and the first woman to run for president in 1972;
Senator Carol Mosely Braum; Rev. Jesse Jackson; and Rev. Al Sharpton)
by declaring that Senator Barack Hussein Obama (the son of an white
American woman and a man from Kenya) is the first “clean” black
presidential candidate; (d) Democratic Party operatives who depicted
Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele on the Internet as a “Simple
Sambo;” (e) cartoonist Jeff Danziger and Pat Oliphant who portrayed
Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice as a “stooge” and a bare foot,
“Ignorant Mammy;” (f) Democratic Senator John F. Kerry who denounced
Affirmative Action on the floor of the Senate in the 1990’s; (g) Senator
Hillary Clinton who set the tone for the current race-based slander
when she insulted Mahatma Gandhi of India who was a role model for Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. by calling Gandhi a gas station attendant; and
(h) President Bill Clinton who – following in the footsteps of his
mentor J. William Fulbright, a staunch segregationist – refused to
enforce a court-ordered Affirmative Action Plan while president and was
himself sued for discriminating against his black employees while he was
the Governor of Arkansas,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Whereas the Democratic Party’s use
of deception and fear to intimidate black Americans into voting for
Democrats is consistent with the Democratic Party’s heritage of racism
that included sanctioning of slavery and kukluxery – a perversion of
moral sentiment among leaders of the Democratic Party; and the
Democratic Party’s racist legacy bode ill until this generation of
African Americans,</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Now, therefore, for the documented
atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans, we
demand a formal written apology from the Democratic Party.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

little History Test that you might want to browse through. It contains a
whole lot of surprising details that our liberal education system
conveniently ignores. I’ve always wondered what kind of people would
graduate from our colleges and universities had they been exposed to
unbiased knowledge instead of leftist dogma and propaganda. Would Ruth
Marcus be a liberal Democrat today if she was educated with the truth
about American History or would she still have sold out her principles
for fame and fortune to the liberal mainstream news media?</b></p><blockquote><blockquote><b>HistoryTest</b><br />

If we are to believe the liberal claims that there are too many guns in America and that every White person is a racist, and every Republican is a Domestic Terrorist, then why is it that none of the Trump supporters who staged a protest at the Capitol bothered to bring any weapons? Who ever heard of an attempt to overthrow the government peacefully? Perhaps this meme explains it all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheFdvlOmA-XXGNuo7TiZHJR4q1Npd84Lt-J8u_8o0AK7viLHp9PA3gAmNsQ9cMRhzSjZTHYqcTVNrs1RA2ATDuICtg-nMjX4k1qTT_uAnv120Zjt1USf80x4KHvMLZY9vffTb-TBT902rtBSHo12le-dzdacF1viU0tpVzedZ7UDiCzvQ-Dj6bbm9R/s800/912-TeaParty-DC-We-came-unarmed-this-time_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheFdvlOmA-XXGNuo7TiZHJR4q1Npd84Lt-J8u_8o0AK7viLHp9PA3gAmNsQ9cMRhzSjZTHYqcTVNrs1RA2ATDuICtg-nMjX4k1qTT_uAnv120Zjt1USf80x4KHvMLZY9vffTb-TBT902rtBSHo12le-dzdacF1viU0tpVzedZ7UDiCzvQ-Dj6bbm9R/w447-h336/912-TeaParty-DC-We-came-unarmed-this-time_2.jpg" width="447" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Oldironsideshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-71959855997727254542022-11-04T10:16:00.001-04:002022-11-04T10:17:33.166-04:00Judgement Day is here. <p> Prepare for the Big Red Wave.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CbWgdQ5X4CnDjDGZ9ohU8GLEnoXeU_03EKu5PkUPX-Kw52MfNJJhhn5_3Xf95Qhr33-9Q7Iq7Fa1QDvUo1sibscWhiX9peY5GLoSlqEOzaCF1L81lkC5Bwb7NHpFG1VL9KmXJrTkLaKyw4ErzDzrTTT8onZWY9aWSp-mfARWEuO15fYWcX05JTbf/s1500/Trump%20red%20wave.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1500" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7CbWgdQ5X4CnDjDGZ9ohU8GLEnoXeU_03EKu5PkUPX-Kw52MfNJJhhn5_3Xf95Qhr33-9Q7Iq7Fa1QDvUo1sibscWhiX9peY5GLoSlqEOzaCF1L81lkC5Bwb7NHpFG1VL9KmXJrTkLaKyw4ErzDzrTTT8onZWY9aWSp-mfARWEuO15fYWcX05JTbf/w518-h345/Trump%20red%20wave.jpg" width="518" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Oldironsideshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09629998599890229482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404433125239624931.post-41021493234541016142022-06-06T10:21:00.003-04:002022-06-06T12:15:20.977-04:00Democrats continue to invent more dirty tricks to win elections<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto"></span></span></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">Michigan
Democrats perfecting the art of stealing elections have found a way to
remove top Republican candidates from the ballot. This is dirty politics
at its worst, hire fake campaign workers to supposedly gather petition
signatures to get candidates on the ballot. Then submit petitions with
fake signatures and the candidate is removed from the ballot if he or she fails to submit the required minimum.</span></span></span></p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-bureau-of-elections-top-gop-gubernatorial-candidates-ineligible-ballot" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-bureau-of-elections-top-gop-gubernatorial-candidates-ineligible-ballot</span></span></span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id hzawbc8m" dir="auto">Some states will only strike off invalid signatures on ballot petitions line-by-line but other states, like Michigan, will invalidate the entire page of all signatures if just one is faked.

</span></span><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The first rule of politics is party affiliation. It doesn't really matter what the politician stands for because when they get into Congress the first thing that happens is they count the number of "D"s and "R"s and then elect who is the Majority Leader or Speaker of the House based on the numbers. To make the point easy to understand consider the problem caused by the NRA, the largest gun lobby. In 2008 they endorsed 54 Democrats who claimed to support the 2nd Amendment and helped 52 of them get elected. With the NRA endorsements the Democrats gained the House majority and made Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House who proceeded to push thru anti-gun legislation. When it comes to election day I fear a three person race because it almost always splits the conservative vote and helps the Democrats win. Politics is such a dirty game that in Virginia a few years ago the Democrats paid for most of the campaign costs of a third party Libertarian candidate and took away enough votes from the Republican to enable the liberal Democrat to become governor.The Republicans<br /></span></span></p></blockquote></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3B8LHszL8aa7OJ2_GnTsRnJ8b8zVJOzphizzyxKJeMRZnn_6lVnqZyfmr_yZEQUjrE1sdggXM0R1CdUY6eeouOfKaAmS3HG2DZye5XBMimmzYxKKEXyqd4DJu5sVcprHNN40sZTP3CI0zTlLBks8RI48O-FkVk4fhhFnU8qmihw7ZC4sfGuqWZ0A/s843/fake%20news%20is%20bad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="843" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu3B8LHszL8aa7OJ2_GnTsRnJ8b8zVJOzphizzyxKJeMRZnn_6lVnqZyfmr_yZEQUjrE1sdggXM0R1CdUY6eeouOfKaAmS3HG2DZye5XBMimmzYxKKEXyqd4DJu5sVcprHNN40sZTP3CI0zTlLBks8RI48O-FkVk4fhhFnU8qmihw7ZC4sfGuqWZ0A/s320/fake%20news%20is%20bad.jpg" width="320" /></a> <br /></div><blockquote><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">

<h2>
<b>The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump’s popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity</b></h2>
Published on June 16, 2018<br />
Julian McCall<br />
<br />
Marshall Kamena is a registered Democrat and was elected mayor of Livermore, CA.. He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is as conservative as they come. He wrote the following from an article, originally written by Evan Sayet and his opinion he expressed as a columnists for Townhall.com were his own and did not represent the views of Townhall.com, were mistakenly attributed to Marshall Kamena by me.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trump’s 'lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship' By Evan Sayet in his article "He Fights</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We tried statesmanship.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60's. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please pass this on..over and over, and again and again...</span></span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A lot of conservative Republicans loved the hard line tactics when John Bolton was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Almost none of these Republicans realize that Ambassador Bolton was one of the original Never Trumpers and part of the NeoCons from President George W. Bush's administration. Even though that was almost 20 years ago the real story began several years before that. When Donald Trump got elected he made the Democrats lose their minds but he also brought out a large number of Republicans who wanted him to fail. They became the Never Trumpers, as in " Trump is not my president ". Each and every one of them began to betray the best president America ever had. Today, John Bolton has sought revenge for being removed from the White House as National Security Advisor. He wrote a book supposedly revealing damaging evidence about President Donald Trump and conveniently his book was leaked to The New York Times and has a passage concerning that is central to the Democrat's impeachment charges that is an absolute lie.</span></span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I was a Boy Scouts of America leader for almost 15 years, my two sons
are Eagle Scouts, and for the last 10 years, I have served on the
Executive Board of a historic Council. It is with that background for
context that I issue the following warning to our friends at
Chick-fil-A.<br />
<br />
I have watched the National BSA’s slow-motion slide from one of the
nation’s leading character-building organizations for young men into the
cultural abyss that inevitably follows the implementation of policies
endeavoring to comport with the current <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/3932-gender-disorientation-a-faithful-response-to-the-lgbt-agenda-2012-12-26">gender devolution orthodoxy</a>.<br />
<br />
I was struck this week by a comment from Russell Ballard, a leader of
the Mormon Church and member of its Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Ballard was explaining <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/mormon-leader-we-didnt-leave-boy-scouts-they-left-us">the upcoming divorce</a> between the Boy Scouts of America (now “The Scouts”) and Scout Units associated with the Mormon Church.<br />
<br />
Ballard claimed, “The reality is we didn’t really leave them; they
kind of left us. The direction they were going was not consistent to
what we feel our youth need to have … to survive in the world that lies
ahead for them.”<br />
<br />
That statement is grossly inaccurate because, in 2013, it was BSA President Wayne Perry, a Mormon, who led the charge to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/05/22/boy-scouts-president-let-in-gay-boys/2351907/">allow gender-confused youth</a>
— those who identify as “gay” — into the ranks of the Boy Scouts.
Announcing that policy change in May of that year, Perry insisted that
the “resolution reaffirms our core belief in doing one’s ‘duty to God,’”
but insisted the BSA “would maintain the current membership policy for
all adult leaders,” prohibiting homosexual leaders. But Perry was also
quick to note: “Some have voiced concerns that this proposal could put
children at risk of being abused. The BSA makes no connection between
sexual abuse and homosexuality.”<br />
<br />
Ahead of that national BSA board decision, I wrote an open <a href="https://patriotpost.us/articles/16511-letter-to-an-eagle-scout-2013-01-30">letter to an Eagle Scout</a>,
knowing that after so much effort to obtain that rank, this decision
would be demoralizing to many Eagle Scouts. I also warned that opening
this capitulatory door would lead to demands for homosexual adult
leaders.<br />
<br />
Indeed, in July 2015, the BSA national board changed their policy to
allow homosexual leaders. I responded with a critical analysis of that
terrible decision: “<a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/18532-the-boy-scouts-gay-pride-merit-badge-2016-06-06">The Boy Scouts’ ‘Gay Pride’ Merit Badge</a>.”<br />
<br />
In January 2017, the BSA national board capitulated to the next
demand, allowing so-called “transgender youth.” For the record, there is
no such thing as “transgender.” Regardless of what self-mutilation one
undertakes, genetically they will be the same gender from birth to
death. But I digress…<br />
<br />
It is no small irony that, last year, the BSA announced it was facing <a href="https://patriotpost.us/articles/60051-bankrupting-the-boy-scouts-of-america-2018-12-14">the prospect of bankruptcy</a> due to lawsuits in response to homosexual predation on boys — given that BSA leaders had attempted to <a href="https://patriotpost.us/articles/63434-bsa-leaders-and-demos-ignore-homosexual-predators-2019-06-05">conceal information about these predators</a> for decades. (They have even <a href="https://world.wng.org/2019/11/a_desperate_move">mortgaged their crown jewel</a>, Philmont Scout Ranch, reportedly for a line of credit to settle claims.)<br />
<br />
In other words, the national BSA board already knew there was a
history of adult predators, but still implemented policies that would <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/49785-the-heterophobic-gender-deniers-2017-06-21">expose more boys to predation</a>. Despite the fact that virtually <i>all</i>
BSA sexual assaults have been homosexual, recall Perry’s mindless
assertion: “The BSA makes no connection between sexual abuse and
homosexuality.”<br />
<br />
As a result of the absurd BSA policy changes, from 2013 to 2018,
scouting membership dropped from 2.7 million to 2 million. In January of
next year, the BSA will lose an estimated 400,000 LDS Youth members,
bringing national membership down to 1.6 million.<br />
<br />
So what is the lesson here for Chick-fil-A and its recent policy changes regarding Christian organizations it supports?<br />
<br />
First, one reason the BSA capitulated to homosexuals is that the
national board is populated with wealthy corporate types — they are
fundraisers who also have to be concerned that their association with
the BSA might cause a boycott of their corporations. Thus it is a
“Faustian Bargain” to invite wealthy corporate types as board members
and trustees, thus the board pressure behind these changes.<br />
<br />
But Chick-fil-A is a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chick-fil-a-will-never-go-public-2016-1">privately held company</a>
and its board is controlled by CEO Dan Cathy, son of company founder
Truett Cathy, and his family. Thus they do not have the same public
corporate motive to abide by leftist social orthodoxies. The primary
question for the Cathy family is one of balancing principles with
profits.<br />
<br />
Second, I have met the Cathys, and many folks with Chick-fil-A, and I
know well the extraordinary support they have provided to faith-based
groups over the decades. But they have been under assault by homosexual
advocacy groups since 2012, when Dan Cathy made clear his opposition to
same-sex marriage based on clear Christian principles.<br />
<br />
The recent decision to <a href="https://patriotpost.us/articles/66869-principles-vs-profits-chick-fil-a-caves-to-rainbow-mafia-2019-11-19">drop some Christian organizations</a>
from their support roster after their commitments expired, was arguably
based on the company’s store expansion priorities — and not wanting to
meet homosexual resistance in those markets. Chick-fil-A President Tim
Tassopoulos <a href="https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/retail/exclusive-amid-global-expansion-and-lgbt-pushback-chick-fil-a-changes-charitable-giving-structure-101818">commented on those priorities</a>
as they related to dropping some Christian ministries: “There’s no
question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear
about who we are. There are lots of articles and newscasts about
Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”<br />
<br />
But the decision to make those changes originated with Rodney D.
Bullard, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility for
Chick-fil-A, which includes Community Affairs and Environmental
Sustainability initiatives. Bullard is also executive director of
Chick-fil-A Foundation, from where the company’s $10 million in annual
charitable donations are awarded. </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Bullard is an exceptional person. He grew up in Decatur, Georgia, the
son of a minister and educator, in a faithful household with limited
means. He struggled to read at an early age but overcame that struggle
with the help of a teacher who took a special interest in his situation
and tutored him. He says, “If not for Mrs. Adams, I might have lost
faith in myself and never realized the power of my ability to learn.”<br />
<br />
Bullard is a model of that “power and ability,” coming a long way
uphill since he learned to read. From modest beginnings, he earned an
appointment to the Air Force Academy. After graduating from USAFA, he
achieved loftier goals, including being selected to serve as a White
House Fellow under the Bush(43) administration. He earned a law degree
from Duke University and worked for the Department of Justice prior to
being hired by Chick-fil-A. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chick-fil-a-explains-donations-groups-considered-anti-gay-2019-5">May interview</a>,
Bullard declared that Chick-fil-A Foundation was guided by a “higher
calling than any political or cultural war.” But the political and
cultural doors he has opened imply that “higher calling” is being unduly
influenced by the “political or cultural war.”<br />
<br />
There is a lot to admire about Rodney Bullard, the Cathy family and
Chick-fil-A. This is a good company run by good people who do a lot of
good things for their employees, customers and the communities they
serve. But good people of faith can make poor decisions and, in my
estimation, the recent decision to drop Christian organizations that
support the timeless traditional definition of marriage and family hints
at a trend toward placing profits over principles. Moreover it may
foretell a slide toward simultaneously being “in the world” and “of the
world,” rather than <a href="https://billygraham.org/decision-magazine/february-2016/a-classic-billy-graham-message-in-the-world-but-not-of-it/">in the world, but <i>not</i> of the world</a>. That is a faith and culture bridge that Truett Cathy would never have attempted to cross.<br />
<br />
All said, the primary lesson from the BSA for Chick-fil-A is this:
Similar to the BSA, Chick-fil-A’s corporate model and customer base have
been built on a foundation of strong Christian principles. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Devaluing
those principles devalues their customer base. And opening the door to
such devaluation has already invited more efforts to silence the
principles upon which this good company was founded.</blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The liberal mob has been working overtime for decades to redefine our society. They have a unique talent for coining hot words that get embedded into our vernacular and live on forever. 50 years ago in N.Y. the liberals wanted to ban "Saturday Night Specials" supposedly a cheap, sometimes home made, device that was able to shoot bullets.

</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today, sporting guns often imitate the appearance but not the function of military weapons. So the liberals coined a new scary term, "Assault Weapon", a term the military doesn’t even use. And any rifle that isn't made with a wood or plastic stock and is black in color is now described as an assault weapon. And liberals don’t even know what they’re talking about. Watch this video on CNN about the “fully semi-automatic” assault weapon. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVQXCL2JGA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVQXCL2JGA</a></span></span></blockquote>

</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are two points about the 2<sup>nd</sup> Amendment that everyone needs to understand. First, the purpose of the Amendment was: “necessary to the security of a free state” that is, to arm the public to stand against a tyrannical government. Second, when it was written, the public was allowed to own the same weapons that the military was using. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A long time ago someone described the gradual loss of our liberty as the Salami Principle. If that group wishing to deprive American citizens of their freedom sliced off a large chunk it would be made immediately clear and civil war would result. But if the salami was whittled down, one thin slice at a time, no one would notice.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Such is the case with The Right To Keep And Bear Arms. At one time prior to the Second World War it was not illegal to own a fully automatic sub-machine gun. Today any modern weapon that looks anything like a military weapon is scorned as an Assault Weapon. The goal of the Liberal mob is to disarm American citizens and they are patiently trying every little sneaky tactic they can think of. They claim they want enhanced background checks but wrap that around gun registration. Once our guns are registered we stand to witness a repeat of confiscation as happened in pre-WWII Germany. Now they have dreamed up something new, the Red Flag laws. </span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A few years ago, during the Obama administration the anti-gun liberals managed to change the law affecting older recipients of Social Security. They decided that anyone collecting Social Security who used a family member to pay their bills was incompetent to handle their own affairs and shouldn't own guns. Luckily, this rule was cancelled when Donald Trump became president.</span></span> </blockquote>

</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Weak-kneed Republicans are now leaning toward RED FLAG laws. Like any new law passed with good intentions, anti-gun fanatics will find a way to abuse it. So be very aware of the Red Flag Laws. The theory sounds good, a family member alerts police of an older relative that has signs of emotional problems so they go get a court order to remove that person's guns. But then the law gets misused and it becomes a friend or neighbor or a stranger that complains to the police and there is no burden of proof before they take away your guns.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The comments from the anti-gun mob prove only one thing, being Liberal is a mental illness. And you cannot win an argument with a Liberal by using facts. They have never offered a concise rational rebuttal to the simple phrase: "When all guns are outlawed, only outlaws will own guns." I am not referring to the logic that law-abiding patriots will <i>become</i> outlaws when they refuse to surrender their guns, I am referring to the simple fact that criminals today, by virtue of the fact that they are criminals, would not be expected to give up the tools of their trade nor would they be impeded by any proposed gun laws any more than they are impeded by existing gun laws.</span></span></blockquote>

Justice is finally served when she is dragged off to jail.<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After a 5-year long battle in the Ohio legal system, a convicted
Democrat was finally sent off to jail to serve a six month sentence.
This was no ordinary Democrat. This was Tracie Hunter who up until her
conviction was an elected Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge. And in a
final act of defiance Tracie Hunter had to be literally dragged out of
the courtroom this morning after losing the last of her numerous
appeals.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I have been following the career of this woman since 201<span class="text_exposed_show">0
when she lost the election in Hamilton County to a Republican until
after she won a federal lawsuit that required some previously uncounted
votes to be counted. When they were counted, Hunter received enough
votes to vault her over John Williams and win the election.</span></span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
In the years following Tracie Hunter, a Black woman, began to
demonstrate racial bias and favoritism toward Black defendants and I
began to keep a record. But it was only after a Grand Jury indicted
Tracie Hunter for 8-Felony counts of abuse in office was she put on
trial for her crimes. The jury verdict was hung on 7 counts but
convicted her of one and she was sentenced to six months in jail.</span></span><br />

When I was 19, during the summer between my freshman and sophomore
years, I graduated from a state police academy, which provided
certification to work as a uniformed patrolman while completing my
undergraduate degree. I was old enough to carry a sidearm as a police
officer, but too young to purchase a handgun for academy training, so a
department head purchased the gun for me to use for qualifications.
These were the days just before semi-auto pistols became the standard
sidearm, and my supervisor suggested a Colt revolver — a .357 Magnum
Python with a four-inch barrel. It was my first sidearm, and I still
have it. </div>

ranging from humorous to life-threatening, and that Python was on my

A few years after graduating from college, I heard about two six-inch
Pythons that were part of an estate sale — serial numbers three and
five — and I managed to purchase those guns ahead of the auction for
$2,500. That was a lot of money 30 years ago, and it was one of the most
expensive “collectible” purchases I’ve ever made. But I have no
regrets. In 2016, when doing an insurance evaluation, I thought those
guns might now be worth twice their original value, and had each
appraised. Much to my surprise, multiple appraisals returned values well
into six figures for the pair. I was shocked at those valuations and
decided against keeping something of such value in my house and paying
those premiums. </div>

Because I could’ve sold the two Pythons and put the proceeds against

However, I first met LtCol Oliver North more than 30 years ago when he worked for <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/8891">Ronald Reagan’s</a>
National Security Council. After his involvement in the so-called
Iran-Contra Affair, I helped North’s former commanding general raise the
funds necessary for North’s legal defense. In 1991, his convictions
were vacated and reversed, and all charges filed against him dismissed. </div>

As for LtCol Allen West, in 2003 <i>The Patriot Post</i> was <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/43869-to-honor-their-sacrifice">his earliest defender</a>
after he was charged with violating Articles 128 (assault) and 134
(general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The charges
stemmed from an incident during <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/3024">Operation Iraqi Freedom</a>,
when West received an intelligence briefing of a pending plot to ambush
men under his command near Tikrit, Iraq. In an effort to convince a
detainee to divulge what he knew about the plot, West discharged his
sidearm within safe proximity of the man’s head. “I know the method I
used was not right,” said West, “but I wanted to take care of my
soldiers.” </div>

He did just that, and in order to defend West, we launched a <a href="https://patriotpost.us/petitions/5">successful media campaign</a>.
His charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding
instead of a court-martial, which resulted in a fine, but he was still
relieved of his command. Notably, there were no ambushes against
American forces in Taji until <i>after</i> West’s departure. </div>

The bottom line with the NRA disputes is this: It’s Wayne LaPierre
against North, West, and Cox — and, increasingly, against the NRA’s
grassroots membership. So, who should I side with amid what firearms

Regardless of the accusations being fired between battle lines, and
taking full account of Wayne LaPierre’s remarkable service leading the
NRA’s defense of the Second Amendment for decades, a growing number of
NRA members agree with Allen West — that “what is right” for the good of
the organization and its mission is for LaPierre to fall on his sword
and humbly bow out. The fact he did not do so months ago is troubling. </div>

Watching the NRA’s slow-motion leadership meltdown is reminiscent of

All who stand with us as defenders of <a href="https://patriotpost.us/alexander/3467">American Liberty</a> have a stake in resolving the NRA dispute, and Justice Joseph Story outlined why in his foundational <i>Commentaries on the Constitution</i>:
“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been
considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it
offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power
of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first
instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” </div>
