  • Is it me, or is our country being destroyed before our eyes? I once heard it said that the power to tax is the power to destroy. Let it also be said that the power to regulate is the power to destroy. I believe it was the French Monarch Louis XVI who originally said, “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. It seems to me that the key is not to give the power in the first place. Unfortunately it seems once it is given it cannot be taken away. Government only grows bigger, never smaller.
    By the way is anyone else afraid if Amnesty passes the Dems will have perpetual control of the White House. If Amnesty passes Texas will turn “blue” and the Dems will never loose another presidential election. No? oh well.

  • Let us defend ourselves, problem solved.

  • Did the Original Colonies has a right to secede from Great Britain?
    The opening paragraph to the Declaration of Independence mentions a “separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Natures God entitle us”
    Can you imagine if the UN told the US they can never leave? Can you imagine if your church told you could never leave?
    Of course there is a right to Secede, nothing can change that even war. And secession is not an act of war, but forcing someone to submission is. This is why we celebrate out independence on July 4 1776 and not when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.

  • For those who do not understand Natural Law let me explain the basics.
    All the major religions of the world agree on three basic truths:
    1. The first gift from God to man was life
    2. The second gift from God to man was free will.
    3 The third gift from God to man was the earth.
    From these truths we derive Life, Liberty, and Property. Anything not in contradiction to these gifts is said to be a Right. Freedom of Speech is a Right because it does not violate anyone’s Life, Liberty or Property. Heath care is not a right because it violates Liberty, and Property.
    Secession is a Right because God granted us freewill. Can you imagine if the UN told us we could not withdraw from it? Can you imagine if your boss told you you can never quit?
    I don’t know about you but that sort of talk makes me want to go buy a gun.

  • Those who say Texas has no right to Secede anger me to no extent. Do you not understand the history of your own country? Ever hear of the Declaration of Independence? We ALL have a right to secede. We have a Right to the separate and equal station among the powers of the earth granted by the Laws of Nature and Natures God! (we use to teach Natural law in school)
    All of these arguments were made against the American Colonies in the 1760s. It has nothing to do with once being an independent State, or having your own currency, or being economically stable. To quote Thomas Paine, “we can sell our goods and services to anyone we want.” As far as a war goes do you really think the USA would send tanks to Austin? I think not.
    Lastly, people do not fight wars of Independence, it is simply declared. It is up to the otherside to fight a war of subornation. Thus we celebrate July 4th as our Independence and not the day we won the Revolutionary War.

  • I seem to remember some political cartoons depicting Bush as a monkey, I wonder what would happen if someone did that with Obama. I remember seeing bumper stickers that said “support Bush” and had a picture of a noose. I remember seeing a protest sign with a picture of Bush with a bullet hole. I remember seeing a parade float with a guillotine and Bush’s head.
    There is a double standard.

  • Anything can be designated a terrorist act, even stupid things. If these charges hold then we will see more and more arrests.

  • So, how is this different from the other 500+ murders that occur in NY every year?

  • I honestly believe to her all three pictures look the same.

  • If you were in the military after 9/11, like I was, you did not fight for for freedom. You fought for safety. Have you heard the phrase, “Freedom isn’t free”? Safety is not free either, it cost freedom. Safety is the inverse of Freedom, they are opposites. A Police State is safe but it is not free.

    I would rather live with the threat of a crazy person shooting me and have the ability to shoot back then give over control to the government.

    Free will was Gods first and greatest gift to man.
