Word Games

Published May 9th, 2013 in Political Well Being. 0 Comments

Liberals, democrats and progressives play word games with us. The use terms like “American Values”, “freedom”, and “rights”. Although you have heard these terms before, and think you know what they mean, in the mouth of a liberal or Yankee, they mean something totally different than you assume. “American values” or its partner “American freedoms” do not mean the Christian values of the founding fathers, they are not referring to Biblical or conservative values, nor are they referring to having the freedom to live life without government restrictions. Instead they mean “Civil rights” in terms of they feel entitled to what you have. They want to be able to take what is yours without having to compensate you for it. They want you to have no recourse to deny them from taking what is yours. When they talk about “American values”, they are often referring to equality and diversity. They want to lead whatever kind of perverted, immoral or twisted lifestyle they want without you having any say so or interfering with them along with demanding that you condone what they do and no longer have the right to speak out against it.

When they say, they believe in America, they are referring to big centralized government, along with the control and policies it brings. They are not referring to an America where a man can do what he wants with his land/home, have the freedom to say what he wants, and being free from government interference. They want an America where the government monitors, censors, controls and watches all that you do along with demanding that you accept that control and do obeisance to it. That is not the same “American values” of the founding fathers that sought trade without government interference, the exercise of free speech without government censorship, the freedom to travel, being free from government officials going through your personal papers and monitoring.

Consider if you will how our sons and daughters have fought in wars to protect “American freedoms”, yet somehow with each war, we end up loosing more liberties at home. With each war, instead of increasing liberties at home, we loose more. These word games have been effective. By using words that we think we know what they are saying, politicians, local leaders, talking heads and pastors have led us astray. They have lulled many Southerners to sleep with the right words, yet what they mean is very different from what we assume.

Rather than fall for their word games, question what they mean by “American values”, “American freedoms”, etc. Rather than accept what they are saying without question, dare to question what they mean before you accept it.

Liberty for Texas!

An unequal relationship

Published April 25th, 2013 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

For relationships to work, it takes give and take from both parties. Both parties have to respect and appreciate each other. One relationship where things are very unequal is that of the SBC to the federal government. The SBC often displays the federal banner outside its churches, some even have it in a place of honor within the sanctuary. There very room where they worship God and offer praise. The SBC also honors and respects those who work for the federal government. As a group, they have bent over backwards to accommodate the empire. So how does the empire repay them? By having the Pentagon block access to the SBC website. The empire bans praying in Jesus name at soldier’s funerals where they have control, the Penatgon bans the display of the cross on military bases in Mohammedean nations, while allow the gay flag to be flown, the penatgon also recently made it policy to remove Bible verse references on the optics of many of its weapons.

To me, this is lopsided relationship. One party goes all the giving and the other (the fedgov) maligns, and misuses the giving party. If this were a human relationship, they would call this abuse. If it was up to me, I would have the SBC remove the banner from any place of honor. I would not fly its banner in front of the houses of worship. If it was flown it would be in a subservient position to the Christian banner. Alas, I do not see changes coming. Many SBC churches will likely conform with the message they send with the display of the empire’s banner and the Christan banner being subservient to its position. They will likely submit to Cesare with more than he asks, giving their money, children, sanity, loyalty and spiritual discernment to the care of the empire. Like an abused spouse, they will be used and abused by the empire rather than return to their first love.

We need to pray for our churches and our people.

IMF now wants a piece of the action

Published March 29th, 2013 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

Now the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is now taking aim at the United States. They now want us to pay an additional $1.40 to each gallon of gas. The claim is that the added tax will be used to help social and environmental causes around the wold.

This is just the latest flexing of muscle by this group. They are feeling strong after giving the shaft to Cyprus. The IMF is doing nothing more than putting notches in their handle from every group and empire that they make kowtow to their demands. When President Davis said “All we want is to be left alone!” It applies to the empire and to the world, including the UN, IMF and any other power hungry nanny groups that meddle in the affairs of nations that they have no authority to meddle with. When such behavior is in reference to people, we call these types ‘busy bodies’. They do little to solve problems, but instead stir up trouble and issues.

It remains to be seen if the regime will kowtow to these financial bullies and submit to their demands.

Instead of being controlled by regimes that lack backbone, or lack authority to meddle in our affairs, we want to be left alone.

Learning about the census from the Nashville Agrarians

Published March 27th, 2013 in Culture, Economic Independence and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

The empire has recently been sending out various types of census. These include business census, agriculture census and so forth. To encourage compliance with these census forms, they are including threats and fines. By calling their request for numbering things a “census”, the empire makes it more official, since the Constitution allows for a census once every ten years. Calling the requests for information a census is another word game. What the empire is really after is an inventory. They are also wanting to burden you with compiling and reporting the inventory. By having you do the work, it saves time and effort.

You may want to ask “Why?” they would such an inventory. Andrew Nelson Lytle answered this question in his essay “The Hind Tit”. He said “The only reason to number them is to turn them into cash”. He and the other Nashville Agrarians knew that when the government starts counting things, they are up to no good. They are making an inventory to turn into cash (or use as collateral). This is made clear by the recent agricultural census taking going on at this time. The agricultural census amounts to nothing more than the USDA compiling a database (e.g. inventory). When things are inventoried, someone plans on turning them into cash, plain and simple. Lytle also recommended that Southrons need to “Make those who rule the country bear the burdens of government” and provides suggestions for doing so. It would behoove us to reread “I’ll Take My Stand” and learn the lessons they have to teach us.

Instead of making governments job easier, we need a government that does not meddle in the activities of its citizens.

The Mexican demand for a US gun registry

Published February 22nd, 2013 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

The news of Mexico asking for a registry of all the gun owners in the borders states was disturbing. The Mexican legislative body requested that the United States Senate provide them with a registry of gun owners claiming it would help them track the guns used by violent drug gangs. There are several problems with this request. 1) The Mexican government is asking the wrong branch of government. They really need to ask the executive branch where the DOJ is, who are responsible for the Fast and Furious fiasco in the first place. 2) Such a registry is illegal. The empire is not supposed to have such a list. In essence, Mexico is asking for a registry which is not allowed by federal laws 3) Mexico needs to mind its own business. What is allowed in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California is none of their business. They do not have such jurisdiction into the Sovereign States, 4) Mexico tried controlling Texas guns before and it did not turn out well for them, 5) It is arrogant of Mexican politicians to make such a request. Think about how it would go over if we wanted Texas judges deciding cases that occurred in Mexico. What happens in Mexico needs to stay in Mexico and what happens in Texas and the other border States, needs to stay in those States.

This action is a disregard of our Sovereignty. Besides being arrogant, it is an encroachment by Mexican politicians into the lives of people not under their authority. Such a list would pose a risk to those who travel to Mexico who do and say things that the Mexican regime does not like.

Instead of arrogant involvement in the affairs of other nations, we need Mexico to mind their own business and not ours.

How would independence help?

Published January 30th, 2013 in Current Affairs, Economic Independence and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

Having an independent Texas will help your lives in many ways. Government will be more accountable to the voters at all levels of government. The local issues will be addressed on the local level. This means that the local school district will decide what needs to be taught and what the children need rather than Washington bureaucrats or some teacher’s union. Your sons and daughters would not be going off to Afghanistan, Mali or Iraq fighting in a war whose purpose changes on a weekly basis. Texas would also have social policies that fit our culture rather than having an alien culture and values imposed on us. That means issues like abortion, gun control, and legalization of drugs will be decided by Texans. It means that our access to raw milk, natural health remedies and vitamins will be handled here in Texas rather than shaped by a government agency controlled by big pharmaceutical firms.

Financially, we would not be under all the international agreements that the United States is. We would make decisions based on what is best for Texas when it comes to trade and economic treaties. We would not have to follow unfunded mandates that currently drains school districts and cities of funds that are needed elsewhere.

Texas prisons would be handled by Texas rather than controlled by federal judges.

Texas could protect its own borders, rather than have to kow-tow to Washington’s latest whims and priorities. Instead of making unfounded issues like global warming and controlling pirated movies a priority, those items important to Texas like having safe borders would be the focus of border law enforcement.

Sure, there would still be differences of opinion on what is best in each community, yet these would be based on what the needs of ‘we the people of Texas’ rather than using one size fits all needs forced upon us that are not in keeping with our values and priorities.

Would independence help? Yes, without a doubt.

Liberty for Texas!

Let’s exlpoit the death of children to advance our agenda!

Published December 19th, 2012 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

The 0-regime is wasting no time in exploiting the death of children at Newtown, Connecticut in advancing its agenda. The latest round has the head of the regime saying that the Republicans should cave in on raising taxes due to the tragedy. Using the deaths of children to make money to make money seems an awful lot like ‘necrophilia’ to me, but I know that this regime revels in death due to their past history with Fast and Furious along with the many drone based executions they have launched. Although the regime relishes in death, they want to delay justice being done in Texas with the Fort Hood terrorist attack. Their agenda of promoting death to push their plan forward is shameless. They want death rather than justice based on their priorities.

Here in Texas, we have to contend with the likes of CONgresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who is calling for citizens to ‘turn in’ their guns. She said, “I would personally just say to those who are listening, maybe you want to turn in your guns,“. She cites the actions of the sell out Dick’s sporting goods and Cheaper Than Dirt who kow-towed to the regime and quit selling some weapons in a knee jerk reaction to the shootings at Newtown. When companies sell out like that, they do not need Texas patronage.

Talk about surrendering your rights! Generations of Americans fought and died for the freedoms which she wants them to surrender without question. Shamefully, there will likely be some mindless zombies who turn in their weapons at her request. There will also be companies that acquiesce to the whims of fickle politicians and public opinion rather than show good business sense or courage, like Keller’s Gun Shop in Austin, Texas which offered discounts for teachers after the shooting. Here in Texas, where some common sense still exists (in portions of Texas outside of Sheila Jackson Lee’s Congressional district), there are signs that gun laws will be changed to EXPAND rather than restrict gun carrying.

Secession: Breaking a Psychological Barrier

Published December 10th, 2012 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

The spate of secession petitions that flooded the White House in the wake of Barack Obama’s re-election on 6 November probably won’t amount to much from a legal perspective. After all, despite the fact that several States, including Texas and others of the old Confederacy, got considerably more than the required 25,000 signatures during a thirty-day period to warrant a Presidential response, Mr. Obama really owes them nothing. And nothing is what they’ll get from that quarter.

But the real matter of the secession petitions is not a legal one. Rather, it is a psychological one. The simple fact is that so many of those who put their John Hancock to a document that supports breaking up the union committed a revolutionary act for the first time in their lives. In doing so, they broke an extremely important psychological barrier. They fundamentally challenged the power of the Establishment elite.

Oftentimes a man crosses an important line and afterwards is no longer the same person. He begins to see things differently and then act upon them with changed mind and heart. He has made a basic decision from which he cannot retreat without some sense of shame or even cowardice. I suppose you could say many little personal Rubicons have been crossed during the month that has elapsed since the election in early November.

What’s next, you might ask? It depends. Most of these signatories likely are not really revolutionaries or even serious secessionists. But they are frustrated and rightly concerned about the future. They know, instinctively and viscerally, that the America they once knew or the one they hoped to see is no longer there. It has been hi-jacked by those who care nothing for its past or its foundations. They see a bleak future for themselves and their progeny.

These good folks need a legitimate avenue for their frustrations, and politics-as-usual is no longer it. They need uncompromising leaders and disciplined organization. They need to be told that their reasons for signing those petitions in the first place were sound. And they need to know that, as free men and women, it was necessary finally to break through that psychological barrier. It was meant to be their perpetual prison cell.

That Nasty Old 14th amendment

Published December 9th, 2012 in Culture, Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

What can you say about an amendment that was not legally passed, yet has been the cause of many miseries and curses that have tormented us? Once again the 14th amendment is being discussed in political circles around Mordor on the Potomac. The latest talk concerns how the regime can use it to go around Congress in getting its way on the budget. This is the same amendment that was used to justify abortion in the infamous Roe v. Wade decision and justify many ills foisted upon the Southron people. It is the 14th amendment which the empire uses to get around many State Laws. They use the 14th to batter the 10th. Like the case of Texas v. White, the powers that be refuse to consider whether the matter was done legally. Once again, like beating a dead horse, the empire beats the drum of the 14th amendment to usurp more power.
