Talk about bureaucracy! The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority received a $27 million grant Thursday morning from the Texas Transportation Commission. BUT—Here’s the catch. They regional mobility authority can’t use the money for construction. It can only be used for toll roads, environmental studies, engineering studies and administrative expenses. How is that for strings attached. For that kind of strings attached, I decided to investigate. Sure enough. Federal stimulus money with all the reconstruction agenda, progressive democratic control issues.

Common sense would dictate that if you were given a grant, you could use the monies how you see fit, but with federal dollars involved, there are strings attached. The Texas Transportation Commission is merely the middle man in this whole doling out of federal stimulus dollars.

On top of this, the Transportation Commission is trying to close loopholes for when cities can build projects more cost effectively than their estimates and funding. Austin is not the only community impacted by these regulations, it is also north Texas and other communities as well.

Funny thing, the Texas Transportation Commission sold municipal bonds for $1.5 billion in some recent transactions. Hmmm….

You gotta keep your eyes on the weasels in the hen house. Anytime politicians get near money that is not theirs, there is trouble.

Blame Bush!

The Obama regime continues sinking in the polls. As the ship of empire continues sinking, Vice President Joe Biden continues blaming others for the bad choices and policies of this regime. His Summer of Recovery is now called a ‘Bush Recession‘. It is amazing how this regime flip-flops on issues such as the economy.

Any serious student of economics knows that unstable laws lead to unstable economics. We have a regime that has radically changed the policies and laws. Logic dictates with such a radical change, that there will be changes in the economy. People can no longer make sound business decisions, due to the instability of the laws and policies. This leads to economic chaos. Rather than call it a Congressional recession or an Obama recession, since it was Obama’s policies passed by the Congress (come to think of it the Democratic Congress passed Bush’s policies as well-so it would be a Pelosi Recession without question.) This regime has stymied construction jobs, oil field jobs, military jobs, and health care jobs. They have only expanded government jobs. Sure there are health care jobs–if you want to work for the government.

Like the infantile spectacles they put on, the behavior of this regime is also infantile in blaming others rather than butching up and accepting responsibility for the fall out associated with bad policies and bad bills.

We need to leave this regime! We need Liberty!

League Position on Arizona

LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH STATEMENT
28 July 2010

League of the South News Service

Re: Feds strike down central provisions of Arizona immigration law

Imagine that! A federal judge ruling in favor of the federal government in a case against a State! But that’s what you can expect when there is no impartial arbiter to determine matters of constitutionality.

The League of the South, the premier Southern nationalist organization, encourages the sovereign State of Arizona to either 1) nullify the decision of U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton that removed the teeth from Arizona’s immigration law, or 2) begin immediately to prepare the State for secession from a union in which the compact has been broken by the general (federal) government. Anything less will not be sufficient to protect the lives, liberty, and property of the citizens of Arizona.

The League also encourages Southern Patriots (and those elsewhere of goodwill) to give aid and comfort to the beleaguered citizens of Arizona and their elected representatives and conversely to oppose the federal government and its minions by refusing the same.

For too long the federal government has shown itself to be an organized, criminal enterprise that defines the extent of it own power and rules for the benefit of the elite. This is but the latest example. Such criminal behavior must be stopped by the citizens of the sovereign States acting in concert with each other. We have the legal and moral authority to do so; but do we have the will?

While it might seem meet and right for supporters of Arizona to make the trek to that State to provide aid and comfort, we in the League suggest you focus your efforts against the feds at home. It is more difficult to extinguish a thousand brushfires than one larger conflagration. Be bold and creative in your dissent.

Makes ya’ proud to be a Texian!

I came across a website (www. willisms.com) full of juicy statistics that visually illustrate the superiority of limited government, stable laws and low taxes. Here is the data comparing Texas and Illinois in terms of employment. Illinois is important because it represents the mindset of the Obama regime. Take a look-see and let the reality sink in.

On the page you will find data to show that increased government spending on public indoctrination (education) has not produced better results.

New home sales are down everywhere except…Texas

Texas is outpacing other states in job creation (even with the stimulus package for Detroit)

Five of the fastest growing States are in the Confederate South (Texas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and….South Carolina).

Unemployement rates in major cities. Guess who has the lowest?….Texas

The fact that sitting presidents always loose seats in Congress for their party.

Check out these and other numbers. You’ll be proud to be a Texan and from the South

Mexican Bandits invade Laredo!

Members of the the Zetas were trained in Georgia at the School of the Americas. In other words, we are our own worst enemy.

The violence in Laredo follows yesterday’s violence and explosions in Nuevo Laredo.

Some of the early reports include the possibility of a news blackout on the events in and around Laredo.

UPDATE: There are many conflicting reports about this incident. I have included the links so that you can make up your own mind. What is for sure is that there are problems on the border with Texas, which is a concern to all of us. Texas has a long history of dealing with border incursions, whether Pancho Villa or Juan Cortina. The United States did little to stop Cortina from taking over Brownsville in the days prior to the war. Let us see what the empire does in response to this situation.

From our history, it is not unheard of for politicians to dismiss events as rumors. Sam Houston dismissed fires across the Texas related to abolitionist activity as nothing more than rumors as well. He made the statement to downplay events as they were unfolding in Texas.

Governor Ann Richards made claims that no military vehicles were used at Waco, hmmm. … would a politician lie to appease the people?

It behooves us to watch the news, find good reliable sources of information and forsee the evil as much as possible.

UN rules secession is legal!

This week, the United Nations’ International Court of Justice ruled that Kosovo’s declaration of Independence and secession from Serbia was legal. The secession was held as valid even though Serbia’s Constitution specifically makes secession illegal. What does this mean for the empire? PLENTY!

1) The US legal establishment has held that secession is illegal based on it not being specified as allowed in the Constitution. The grounds for that logic is now in flawed. (It was flawed before, but few legal scholars had the cajones to address it).

2) With the increasing emphasis on international law, especially with the US Supreme Court relying on it in the Lawrence V. Texas case and Elana Kagan wanting more international law applied, this precedent says that the UN trumps previous US court decisions. In this case, the UN trumps the Texas v. White ruling, which many legal pundits cite as case law on the illegality of secession, yet had they read the case, it does not make secession illegal, it just puts so many strings on it, that it is cumbersome. It was never ruled that secession is illegal.

3) The SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) will need to decide whether US case law or international case law will be its standard. If it goes with international, then secession is legal. If it goes with US, then the Constitution and US law still has some power.

4) If you are an ardent secessionist, you realize that there does not need to be another secession vote by any state. They just need to be enacted again. The question is whether the states will have the courage to do so.

P.S. Is it any surprise that the Obama regime is now quickly spinning the Kosovo decision as a unique situation that is not applicable elsewhere?????

Obama is coming to Texas! The circus is coming to town!

If the regime has not done enough in destroying 100,000 jobs in the South, and threatening to shut down many of the refineries in Texas, now the head of the regime is planning a trip to Texas. His plans include speaking in Austin and Houston. I wonder if Congressman Lloyd Doggett, who went on the record to refer to him as a lame duck President will continue his support for Obama and his reconstruction of the nation.

I am sure that the visit to Houston will include an appearance by CONgress critter “Hurricane Sheila” Sheila Jackson Lee, who can not find a camera she doesn’t like and thinks that there are still two Vietnams and demonized the tea party by comparing it to the KKK. It seems that anytime someone disagrees with the progressive agenda, they are branded as Nazis and KKK members. The same old smear campaigns with different labels. Oddly enough the regime itself has more in common with the Nazi party than do its opponents.

Let’s see: Smoking bans, the funding of private armies, restrictions on free speech, restrictions on freedom of religion, race-based judicial actions, alliance with Islamic groups, … (and the list goes on). It looks more like the pot calling the kettle black. Even their techniques are straight out of Himmler, with the constant repeating their mantras until enough people believe them.

In her speech at the NAACP, she bragged about her support of Obamacare. I hope that those who live her district (18th Congressional District) remember that she bragged about supporting murderous government abortions, and the massive taxes that will soon come upon them with Obamacare. I hope they remember that she was one of the ones who supported legislation that mandates changes in Air Conditioners and appliances. When the people can’t afford those things, will they be calling her office? Will she be there to pay their taxes and bills when they can’t? Perhaps there is a reason she thought that the US planted a flag on Mars in 1969.

She is sure to make a splash during the regime’s visit. Her frequent making a spectacle of herself is sure to happen again. If ever the circus of a regime that this one is needed a clown, Sheila Jackson-Lee would fit the bill. This is the same woman who wants more African sounding names attached to hurricanes. Her desire for the name change is not the reason for the moniker “Hurricane Sheila”. That name is a description of her temper and anger issues. She is also a supporter of Attorney General Holder’s lawsuit against Arizona.

Perhaps many of those unemployed oil field workers, and the military assembly plants that have shut down should ask the regime about the jobs they have actually saved versus those that have been lost. Perhaps all the chemical plant workers and refinery workers whose jobs are on the line with EPA threats should pay them a visit.

Even Bill White, who is the democratic candidate for Governor is avoiding the clowns and circus parade and the regime plans for its visit.

Upside Wrong

The Obama regime continues its misguided reconstruction of the empire campaign. In the latest thing done upside wrong, the usurper campaigned for more jobless benefits. ON the surface, one can say, “Hey! He is trying to help those without jobs. To them I say look closer. This same man, took steps to CUT between 8,000-12,000 jobs in the South by institution his offshore drilling moratorium. He spends more time and effort doling money out to the jobless than he spends protecting jobs and creating them. The regime is creating a class of people dependent on government. They are dependent on the government feed trough. He is changing that nation into a a bunch of crying babies that want (what they feel is their right) a suck of the government teats.

The priority of the regime is creating dependency among the subjects. The creation of that dependence is a higher priority than the preservation of industry or the jobs they bring with them. It is part of a deliberate restructuring of the society and culture.

This is upside wrong. I use that term because it is beyond bassackward. It is beyond stupid. It is a deliberate plan and policy to institute a new reconstruction of the South and the nation as a whole. It just so happens that the South is catching the brunt of his policies. How will Sheila Jackson-Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Lloyd Doggett, and Ciro Rodriguez explain these job losses to their supporters? The regime they support so blindly is costing Texas and the South jobs. Real jobs with real wages. Jobs that actually pay rather than consume taxes.

By giving the jobless more money, it will create more joblessness. What gets rewarded, gets repeated in this economy.

If Sheila speaks out like she did recently citing the two Vietnams, it makes it clear where her head is at. She is living in the past and in a past reality. She is out of touch with today, with what is going on in Texas and with the real world job market. I recall when she was speaking in Houston and referred to the “Nations of the United States”. Even then she knew that there are several distinct groups in the empire or was she loosing it back then. I’ll let you decide. Her logic is very similar to Congressman Hank Johnson who expressed concern that Guam would tip over into the sea.

Where is the new reconstruction taking us? Try connecting the dots.

-New banking rules which have quotas, preferring minorities and women rather than credit-worthiness
-More regulation of home energy use
-Reporting of your medical records and health status to the government
-Instigation of the food and diet police
-More taxes on those who refuse to comply with the new health plans
-Redistribution of wealth
-Radical reconstruction of the language we use in discussing Mohammedeans, jihad, terrorists, the war on terror, etc.
-Radical changing of priorities for the justice department
-More government (tax-payer supported) abortions
-Promotion of alternative lifestyles and families
-Promoting illegal immigration
-Discourage the rule of law
-Remove all references to the God of the Bible
-Bowing (a form of worship or reverence) to several foreign leaders.

The direction things are going are sure to incite divine punishment. Rather than praying for God’s mercy and forgiveness, the regime has rejected the God of the Bible, rejected the teachings of the Bible and is forging ahead calling evil good and promoting dangerous and destructive policies which embrace death and destruction.

And the list goes on.

Freedoms under fire!

Over the weekend, over 73,000 blogs were shut down by the empire’s police state without any warnings. These blogs were hosted on bloggetry, which uses a Wordpress platform. By shutting down the server, the empire effectively shout down the blogs themselves. The service was suspended at the request of an ‘unnamed’ law enforcement agency (how nice). The refusal of the law enforcement agency to name itself is not a good sign. When officers refuse to identify themselves, it is not a good sign, much less for the whole agency to do so. It was a common practice during the riots at Wayne State University for police officers to cover up their name badges when doing riot duty. The covering up of the names was not by accident. Such actions are intentional. Even the alleged wrong doing has not been identified other than a ‘history of abuse’. Some sources claim that the crackdown was for copyright violations, but this has not been confirmed. What has been confirmed is that other blogs are being monitored for their content and activities.


Is it any wonder that the same thing happened in China over the weekend as well
.

The action represents the latest crackdown on freedoms, especially freedom of the press by this regime.

(A head’s up-The regime has begun using the term ‘Freedom of Worship’ rather than ‘Freedom of Religion’. The change occurred after the terror attack at Fort Hood. This change in wording also represents a change in the thinking of the regime in its attitude regarding religion and religious practices. Under freedom of religion, you can preach in the open and exercise your faith in public. Under freedom of worship, you can worship God anyway you want within the context of the worship service).

Job creation or Beauracracy creation?

It astounds me that Obama and his regime say that creating jobs is his top domestic priority. One truth that I have found in dealing with the liberals is that the opposite of what they say is typically more true than what they say. This is the case again. With the radical changes that this regime has brought about, there has been more industrial job destruction than previous regimes. There has been more federal job creation which is nothing more than growing bureaucracy.

He has spent more time focused on vacations, playing golf, pushing his health care, pushing his banking bill and bowing down to foreign diplomats than he has on creating domestic jobs (in terms of real jobs, not government give-aways). Bear in mind that the government can not actually create a job, unless it takes from others.

With the banking bill, there are now rules and quotas in place that totally change the financial structure of the banks. He is doing more to redistribute the wealth than create jobs. It is more of a social welfare reform bill than a banking bill, with the creation of 20+ agencies to ‘help’ women and minorities.

Once again, look at what they do, NOT what they say.

Removing government regulations, like the excessive EPA regulations used to strong arm Texas, along with lowering taxes would do more to create jobs than what this regime is doing. All the EPA and the regime are doing is trying to control more aspects of our lives and Texas cities. That translates to fewer liberties for us and more bureaucracy. It means that more Texans will loose their jobs. Good jobs in the private sector due to government red tape.

Jobs will be created when their are the liberties to create jobs, when there is no government interference.
