Arizona Plans on Checking Up On Suspected Undocumented Aliens. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/24/civil-rights-advocates-vo_n_550757.html
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/24/civil-rights-advocates-vo_n_550757.html Whatever happened to presumption of innocence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence As a "halfbreed" myself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfbreed, I am especially alarmed by this proposed legislation. As I've mentioned before, in another blog post, the more native you look, the more likely it is that others will think you look foreign. But those of us of Amerindian descent were here first. It's the white Europeans who were the immigrants. I'm actually somewhat glad that my paternal grandmother isn't here to have to put up with the hassle of having to show ID. And if I were any darker complected, I'd probally really have to show proof of citizenship, beings that I am still a young adult. It's like in Nazi Germany, in my opinion. http://www.sott.net/articles/show/169402-National-ID-and-the-conundrum-of-enforcement
Harold Estes Calls Pres. Obama UnAmerican.
I was just recently forwarded this as an e-mail. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/haroldestes.asp Here is my reply back. To begin with, let's look at what another U.S. President has said. President Adams signed this peace treaty with the Barbary States. See how shocking it would seem today. http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/treaty_tripoli.html Especially this part. " Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen (Muslims) ; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Muslim) nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries". Also I've communicated with folks on the old right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Right_(United_States) ,many of whom also professed Christianity. They've told me that they feel that America has been going down the wrong path, and that we as a country should avoid entangling alliances, as Thomas Jefferson mentioned in his first inaugural address http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres16.html, and also that we should not go out looking for monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams said http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/jqadams.htm . So I am glad to stand with these "unAmerican" Presidents in advocating a foreign policy of non-interventionism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-interventionism, as well as a secular state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_state

Kitty Werthmann Distorts History, and Threatens the Obama Administration.
http://crooksandliars.com/node/31614 This is yet another example of someone who purports to have experienced life under Fascism, yet makes glaring historical errors. Here was a prior example. http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/hymn-to-hitler/blog-294106/ Anyone who knows about World War II history like I do knows that this account is false. Here was what I posted in reply, when my sister forwarded this to me.
Well for one thing we do not have a parliment, like the Reichstag in Germany. If
we had, Nancy Pelosi might be our Prime Minister right now. Now wouldn't
that
just scare you. As for the allegations, and comparisons mentioned
in
you E-mail.
Historicly- 1. Hitler was never popularly elected. See in
european countries,
they have a thing called a coalition. Which means
that
at least two parties
share power, in order to form a majority
government
together. The President
before Adolf Hitler was Paul von
Hindenburg. http://www.blogger.com/Well He appointed
Hitler
as chancellor, which is sort of like vice-president. After
Hindenburg
died
in office, the following year, Hitler became president,
and then delared
himself to be the Fuhrer (leader) or Germany. Hindenburg
was a member of the
National People's Party. http://www.blogger.com/Well. And
Hitler was, as you should already know, a member of the National Socialist
Party. So as you can see, if you even bothered to read the links I posted (I
just hate it when people do not even bother to read my links), Hindenburg's
party formed a partnership with Hitler's party, and Hindenburg's party's
opponants formed a coalition arround the candidacy of Wilhelm Marx http://www.blogger.com/to, who as far as
I know
was not related to Karl Marx. So there is no direct parallel between this
Presidential election, and the one in Weimar Germany, since Hitler was never
directly elected to the office, and instead succeded to it. It would be like
if
John McCain were to die, and Sarah Palin were to then become President.
Which
i'm sure you'd like. (Palin becoming President I mean, not McCain
dying) Except
that Sarah Palin and John McCain are of the same party. 2.
Hitler did not use
the term "zionist" to refer to the Jews. The zionists
were those who wanted for
the Jews to settle in the land of Palestine.
Initialy the Nazis also just wanted
for the Jews to be expatriated to
Palestine. Adolf Eichmann was placed in charge
of this this effort. Which
incidently is like how you have said you'd want for
all liberal/leftists to
have to leave America. 3. Do you really think that
any President, no
matter how vain, would ever have school children sing praises
to him?
However some people feel that the requirement of the Pledge of
Allegiance is
like this. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
I myself do not entirely agree with all of the information contained in the
before mentioned link. But the similarities are shocking.
Politicly- 1. Every country in the world, besides us, has some form of
national
health care. And none of them have ever forcibly euthanised people.
And besides
Obama's health plan involves a public-private partnership,
between the insurance
companies, and the welfare state. It is not therefore
socialised medicine, like
they have up in Canada, "the true north, strong
and free". 2. Funny you should
mention nationalisation of industry. Actually
Hitler, like all other fascists,
did not exactly take over the entire
economy. Both the dictionary, and
encyclopedia, descride Fascism as
government control, but not ownership, of
private industry. Currently
however the federal government is going to own stock
in the banks.
This has happened under the Bush administration 3. Regarding abortion,
Obama has never sanctioned the destruction of infants, and/or viable
foetuses
with disabilities. Believe me, if he had, I could not in good
conscious vote for
him. Especialy since I myself am neuro-diverse. I would
be very upset to hear of
foetuses geneticly identified as abnormal being
destroyed. And if we ever were
to become like Nazi Germany, in it's eugenics
policies, not only would I have to
fear, but you would as well. For not only
might I be forcibly sterilised, so
would you. Since they wouldn't want to
chance you possibly giving birth to
someone with a condition like Tourette's
Syndrome, and/or autism. If you are
pro-life, and therefore believe that
life begins at the very least by
conception, you will be disappointed in
John McCain as well however. I heard him
say in the final debate, that as a
federalist, he would allow the states to
decide whether or not to allow
abortion. So Sen. Mccain feels that it is a
states rights issue, instead of
a human rights issue. We'd then have We'd then
have both "life states" and
"choice states". Just as we once had "free states"
and "slave states". 4.
Religious leaders may give positions on issues. They just
may not officialy
endorse candidates and/or parties, and keep there tax exempt
status. 5. Here
was what Barack Obama said after the backlash in response to his
"bitter"
comments. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-04-12-obama-comments . Now here was what Mrs. Werthmann posted. http://realneo.us/content/america-truly-greatest-country-world-dont-let-freedom-slip-away-kitty-werthmann First of all, the plebiscite to approve of the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany was held after the Germans had already invaded. And I suspect that the results were rigged, as it was reported to have been 99.73 percent in favor. Secondly of all, even before Hitler's third reich took over Austria was a Fascist country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrofascism The only real difference between Austria's Fascism and Germany's was that Austria claimed that there policies were based upon Catholic social teachings, while the National Socialists were secular. The real danger is that a christofascist regime will come to power, like it did in Austria, shortly before Hitler took it over. And ultra-rightists like Werthmann will contribute to this happening. So we must all watch out for the rise of clerical fascist forces, who would destroy the vestiges of democracy in America. The real prime enemy are Christianazis, not progressives.

Christian Terrorists Were Arrested by F.B.I.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/us/30militia.html?th&emc=th Here is further proof that dominionists can be just as fanaticly extreme as there Islamist counterparts. This was what Rosie O'Donnel meant, when to made mention of radical Christians being a dangerous as radical Muslims. This is the extremist violence that can result from postmillenialist, Christian Reconstructionist, teachings. But while many, if not most of the Christian right are content to try and take power through ballots, some groups, like these prefer to resort to bullets.

Society is Broken, comments about a piece by David Brooks.
I must first state that I am pleasantly surprised to read such a favourable assessment of current social conditions. While Mr. Blond might not know it, his prescription is exactly what libertarian socialism is all about. Which is mutual aid, and workers having a share of the market, and profits, at the there places of employment. Specificly this refers to mutualism. There are other forms of libertarian socialism that do not feature a market economy. Like for example anarcho-communism, which has a gift economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy, in which goods and services are distributed free of charge. I tend to view myself as being a philosophical anarchist without adjectives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_without_adjectives . So I do not personally favour any one socio-economic system over another. But if a presumabley red Tory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Tory, like Phillip Blond starts espousing left-libertarian views, perhaps we should somewhat reassess our political allegiances, and support at least some self proclaimed conservatives.

Pennsylvanian Islamic Convert Accused of Part in Murder Plot.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/10/us/10pennsylvania.html?th&emc=th As you've might of heard about, a white caucasian convert to Islam was implicated in a conspiracy to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist, whom had drawn a picture of Muhammed riding atop a dog. Dogs are widely regarded as being unclean animals by Muslim fundamentalists. I feel that this serves to illustrate that some of the most fervent of religious extremists are converts, as they might not know any differently about the tenets of there faith, and they also may feel that they have something to prove. Now does she look like what you might expect a militant radical Islamist to look like? http://timesherald.com/articles/2010/03/10/news/doc4b9739864e679250761263.txt I consider this to be just another case of an impressionable American being fanaticised by her religious influences.

Christians Call For War Over Abortion.
First of all I'll say this. No baby, no murder. I've seen pictures of zygotes, and I do not view them as constituting indivisual human life. Speaking of wars in the Bible, here are passages in which God supposedly authorises the killing of babies. http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/1samuel/1samuel15.htm http://bible.cc/psalms/137-9.htm And these are just two examples. During modern day warfare. children, as well as other civillians, are killed as a part of collateral damage. Which is why I'm so opposed to wars like the one that's currently been occuring in Iraq. Note that these pictures are not for the faint of heart. But if you have the stomach for it, look and you'll see what I mean. http://www.qdeansloan.com/images/iraq-dad-dead-daughter.jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY-_svAlh6nRoXWqSNazlf66qi70otVEDMZcwB7C19fJdEYpNsfk9TjyS7qKI3A4ExQYGKTB0vRNVEASIkRjBcPrl56gws-f44GxHsRcruUZ7MCPmKWbWx9ZmKryzZ2WkvQDme6rp06OzZ/s400/Afghan+children+dead.jpg http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/sites/afterdowningstreet.org/files/images/Not%20Collateral%20Damage.jpeg Arguabley, abortion only destroys potential life, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Wars of aggression destroy actual life. Which is why those who are sincerly pro-life should vote against pro-war candidates, not just pro-choice ones. This part of her blog post really troubles me. "Abortion is not just against Americans, but Christians, and God Himself. It is a war that every pro-choice person is declaring, and fighting, against Americans, Christians, and God." If you were to replace the word Christian with the word Aryan, you'd have neonazi propoganda. If I didn't know the author of this piece personally, she's my sister, I'd suspect that she's an adherent of Christian Identity. Plus to have a war there must be more than one side. Should we really be surprised when certain Christians are killed, when they use such incindiary rheteric? If you were to accept the "Bush Doctrine', which I don't by the way, such killings might be deemed justified. Lastly, here is a link that addresses what the Bible, plus Christian and Jewish religious leaders, say about abortion. http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_bibl.htm P.S. Rain is also a blessing from God. But when you receive an abundant amount of it, you should put on some rubbers.
