2008/03/26 - Patriot: Gridlock Imminent

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Dismissed Over Jury Instructions
Today I had Jury Duty. That is not uncommon: I get summoned every year. Yes, every year. I've only served once, however, as they tend to either summon me about a month after we move to a different county or state (we have moved quite a bit over the last few years), or my personal convictions aren't aligned with that of the judge.

And Other Observations of a So-Called ' Homophobe '

2008/03/26 - Patriot: What the Price of Gold is Telling Us
The financial press, and even the network news shows, have begun reporting the price of gold regularly. For twenty years, between 1980 and 2000, the price of gold was rarely mentioned. There was little interest, and the price was either falling or remaining steady.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: True Leadership Needed on Illegal Immigration
The President's prime-time address last night has provided America with a unique opportunity to discuss the topic of Illegal immigration in a rational way. While I support the idea of temporary National Guard assistance to secure the chaos at the border, we know that such action only briefly treats one symptom of a much larger problem.

Consumer debt has been climing for years. While minimum payment increases could help some card holders pay off debt sooner, actually costing them less in the long term. In the short term some may suffer from the financial squeeze.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: One For the Road
'Global free trade will force the poor of the rich countries to subsidize the rich in poor countries.' What GATT means is that our national wealth, accumulated over centuries, will be transferred from a developed country like Britain to developing countries like Communist China, now building it's first ocean going navy in 500 years. China, with its 1.2 billion people, three Indochinese states with 900 million, the former Soviet republics with some 300 million, and many more can supply skilled labor for a fraction of Western costs. Five dollars in Communist China is the equivalent of a $100 wage in Europe.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Ninth Circuit Deals Blow to Parental Rights
San Francisco, CA - The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday rejected a lawsuit brought by parents against a school which administered sexually-themed surveys to young schoolchildren.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Public Debate and Celebrity Social Agendas
It's pretty common knowledge that well-known celebrities often use their new-found fame and fortune to influence public policy and lend their names in support of worthy social causes. The drive to make a difference in the world around us can be a strong one and more often than not these actors should be commended for their humanitarian efforts.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: The Political Spectrum Con
One of the most important issues in today's world entails a very exasperating fallacy being implanted into the American mind in order to justify the massive centralization of modern government. It is our academic world's warping of the political spectrum. What the American people are being taught as the political left, center, and right is a severe distortion of the facts of reality . Unfortunately such a distorted view is widely prevalent because most Americans have been educated in our government controlled school system.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Have You Read Your Jury Summons?
I'm fired up today so look out.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Missing the Target Again On Crime
Liberals in Sacramento are missing the target again. At a time when people are upset and fearful of serious sex offenders that are being placed in group homes in their neighborhood with little or no oversight, the Democrats in the legislature have once again rallied around their favorite 'tough on crime' issue and declared war on... bullets!

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Lessons Not Learned In Publik Skools
If our modern-day government re-education camps, otherwise known as public schools, actually taught our kids about our nation's founding history, perhaps they would come across this quote by Thomas Jefferson: 'A person once surrendering reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous.'

2008/03/26 - Patriot: A Modest Proposal for Saving Our Schools
The multi-million dollar campaign paid by starving teachers' unions has finally placed our sadly neglected schools at the center of the budget debate.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Tracking School Kids Via Tags Is Like Tracking Cattle

Citizens of San Francisco can rest easy tonight knowing that The Board of Supervisors has voted to make the city a safer place.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Big-Media Dinosaurs Face Extinction
Even today obstinate, lumbering, big-media dinosaurs inhabit and roam the vast terrain of Paleolithic journalism. Theirs is a rapidly dying breed, having succumbed to stubbornly self-inflicted wounds of poorly camouflaged liberal bias - all this, lending credence within conservative circles to the popular 'pea-brain' hypothesis.

''Women must have control over their own bodies.''

2008/03/26 - Patriot: The Ant and the Tsunami Victims: A Marxist Perspective
Bring on the hate mail. I know I'll be receiving plenty of it from the people who don't want to hear what I'm going to say. To begin with, I'm tired of the hard working people in the United States playing Atlas to those who don't plan beyond the moment or to those who believe that the rest of the world exists to bail them out when they encounter disaster.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Are we a republic or a democracy?
We often hear the claim that our nation is a democracy. That wasn't the vision of the founders. They saw democracy as another form of tyranny. If we've become a democracy, I guarantee you that the founders would be deeply disappointed by our betrayal of their vision. The founders intended, and laid out the ground rules, for our nation to be a republic.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Looking Over The Edge
How government bloodhounds plan on tracking Indians.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Civil Disobedience and The National ID
'Those who are willing to allow the government to establish a Soviet-style internal passport system because they think it will make us safer are terribly mistaken. Subjecting every citizen to surveillance and screening points actually will make us less safe, not in the least because it will divert resources away from tracking and apprehending terrorists and deploy them against innocent Americans! Every conservative who believes in constitutional restraints on government should reject the authoritarian and the nonsensical bill itself.' Congressman Ron Paul, [R-TX], December 7, 2004

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Playing With Fire
The National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004 is an ambitious piece of legislation, seeking to facilitate the communication efforts between government agencies, in order to produce more accurate . The documents are lengthy, stretching to just under one thousand pages of changes in our current law.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Issues and Action in Education: National ID
On October 19th EdWatch joined other organizations in signing a letter to Congress opposing H.R. 10 -- The Implementation Act. That act takes the final step to establishing a national ID to track American citizens and authorize the creation of a to hold the information collected. Unfortunately, H.R. 10 passed in the House. In a slightly different version, it also passed in the Senate. Now, a House - Senate conference committee is meeting to iron out those differences and come up with a final version.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Disenfranchised Voters
Across American word on the street is that there are no credible candidates for the 2004 presidential election.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Election Protests
It was more Tiananmen Square than Times Square, but the New York Police Department had to rehearse somehow. In black riot gear, with full weaponry, police joined battle with protesters and bundled them, handcuffed, into vans.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Why I Will Not Vote in 2004
On May 3, 2004, the California Secretary of State nixed all electronic, touch-screen voting in the state and called for the criminal prosecution of the Diebold Company. For those who have been researching the questionable practices of Diebold and the potential manipulation of electronic voting, ( www.blackboxvoting.com and www.wired.com ), California's decision appears to be a victory for American democracy but does not necessarily herald hope for clean elections in November since overwhelming evidence suggests that conflicts of interest permeate the relationship between electronic voting machine companies throughout the nation and Republican politicians. For example:

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Voting for Change
American's are fed-up but what will it take to effect change?

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Just Passing Through Wyoming

Michigander's are still being ripped off at the grocery store, despite the Michigan Scanner Law , which was enacted in 1976, with a great deal of fanfare I might add.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Smokers: An Endangered Species
If you are a smoker you are on the EPA's list of endangered species, because if the American Lung Association and drug companies have their way, you will no longer have the right to make that choice.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Made in the U.S.A.
Are you having as much trouble as I am locating the elusive 'Made in the U.S.A.' label?

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Some Dare Call It Treason
President George W. Bush along with Senator John McCain, want to give some eight to ten million illegal aliens, most of them from Mexico, legal status. Theoretically, the plan would legalize these aliens as 'temporary workers,' which would allow them to work freely in the United States without fear of deportation.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Citizens Fight Amnesty Plan
In anticipation of President Bush's visit to Mexico, those opposed to immigration amnesty are calling for a shopping boycott.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Christmas from the Heart
This has been an especially emotional Christmas holiday for our family. In fact, this has been a very trying year for us and I know we are not alone. Families are struggling everywhere, while the news keeps telling us things are improving.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: National Parks Exploited
A recent Tampa Tribune article has me seeing red. Not because I'm a strong supporter of President Bush's policies. I'll admit that until recently, I've been a strong Republican supporter. However, with the breaking of American's trust I can no longer say that. But that's another story...

2008/03/26 - Patriot: America - The New Third-World Country
Employment opportunities are scarce - or so we are told.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: McClintock vs. Schwarzenegger: What's a Girl to Do?
The upcoming election in California has resurrected a reoccurring debate in the Republican Party - one that has threatened to rend the party in two. That debate, to use the kindest language of each side, boils down to this: Should voters remain true to "principle," and support Tom McClintock? Or should they vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger, because he alone can defeat Cruz Bustamante, and it would be better for the party, California, and the nation to have a Republican governor?

Congressman Ron Paul addresses the U.S. House of Representatives

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Missing Children
In recent years we've heard a great deal about missing and exploited children . As any parent can testify our heart goes out to that family, when ever a child is missing. It's your worst nightmare come true.

Update (October 10, 2003) According to a panel, led by Brown University President Ruth Simmons, the creation of a state commission on tribal-state relations is recommended, for the purpose of developing an agreement between the state and tribe on cigarette taxes.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Pet Peeve of the day
I've been watching the news (particularly CNN, due to a lack of choices) these past few weeks, something that requires a great deal of patience for me. It amazes me that when Clinton was in office, everyone complained about the 'liberal' media, today talk show hosts are ranting about 'conservative' media bias.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Who's Next?
Tonight (2003-03-19) the President of the United States acted on his determination that our only 'defense' is to strike first and hit hard, replacing the current political system of our 'enemy' Iraq with something more acceptable to our government.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Has the whole country gone mad?
According to an article, which ran today on ABC News , "A suburban Maryland couple accused of driving 20 miles with their 12-year-old son and his friend holed up in the trunk of their car have been charged with child abuse, but their lawyer says they are guilty of only bad judgment."

2008/03/26 - Patriot: No Redress of Grievance
Today I read an article on InsightMag.com that, quite frankly, gave me the chills.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: FBI Flyer: Constitutional Adherents Called Terrorists
I received the following article by email ( "Public Servants" Going After "Constitutional Terrorists"? ), to summarize; the FBI has released a flyer (below) which explicitly states that those people who are active supporters of the constitution are terrorists .

2008/03/26 - Patriot: Facing the Issue of Issues
I think we lose too much as a nation if we condescend to the socialist attitude of declaring our support in our government by itemizing what stance we will tolerate from our leaders on many issues. I'm of a mind that every one of these 'issues' was concocted to further separate this great country. How do we escape this? How do any of us look past the issues into the very heart of government? We must first understand what our government *was* founded on.

2008/03/26 - Patriot: A Trip to the Capital
Today (2001/03/01) I had the pleasure to take my wife and son to the California state capital. We accompanied a group of homeschooling families that are in Sacramento for the next couple days on group field trips. We took the capital tour together and had the opportunity to watch a session of the state assembly. Though, admittedly, I am not very familiar with our states laws, I am a self-declared minimalist - I believe less government is better in almost every regard.
