New York State Should Assert our 10th Amendment Rights

The time has come for the New York State Legislature to assert our 10th Amendment Constitutional rights.

We are a sovereign state and it is important that we end Washington’s practice of trying to govern all 50 states. Federal legislation is coming with too many strings attached. Politicians in Washington actually believe that they can spend our money wiser than we can.

Quite frankly, I do not have much trust in the Washington and Albany establishments, and as we prepare to elect better leaders and fresh faces in 2010, someone in Albany needs to stand up now for New York taxpayers and take on this initiative.

I am calling for any elected official, of any party, to show some leadership and offer legislation to appropriately assert our sovereignty as a state.

New York is not a branch of the U.S. government.

— Lee Zeldin (Candidate for New York State Senate)

A Tale Of Two Republican Parties-A must read

This is a great article, we thank the author for his candor.

A Tale Of Two Republican Parties.

Posted by : Skip MacLure March 5, 2010 – 6:29am

On one side we have the party Conservatives. On the other we have the RINOs. You’ll notice there is no middle category here. I think that all but the densest, tunnel-visioned and hide-bound ‘old guard’ Republicans have figured out that the Patriot Movement (what they and the lame-stream press love to call ‘the Tea Baggers’) is no flash in the pan, and has just grown stronger despite the worst the leftist press and the Democrat spin machine (and some Republicans) could do to denigrate it and drive wedges into it. Their breathless characterization of a third party fell flatter than last week’s beltway champagne.

It is, by any measure, the new voice of the Republican party and, in point of fact, is not being controlled by the Party but is pulling the party along behind it. The new Conservative Republican party has a bright future, with a highly motivated and self-aware membership made up of solid conservative patriots who are determined that the principles of freedom that make this country great will be upheld.

We have come very close to losing our country. We might yet. The forces of freedom have been marshaled to stop the march to totalitarianism none too soon. We have some really promising rising stars in the party. Wholesome, grounded Conservatives like Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan, who single-handedly carved President Obama’s arguments to shreds at the health care summit. We have Michael Pence, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Michelle Bachmann and others.

Then we have the RINOs. There is really no room for these people in our party going forward, their names are familiar to us all and the damage they have caused well known. Several are facing primary challenges as we speak, others will retire rather than face the just retribution of their constituents. Those who are not up for election this cycle such as Lindsey Graham (amnesty, green jobs, carbon tax) will be voted out next time around. John McCain faces a strong challenge in Arizona and none to soon. After all the damaging and totally wrong-headed stuff he has signed off on you’d think he’d learn. Now he’s out to try and regulate the vitamin and food supplement industry so that the government can destroy more private business. Maine’s Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are two more that need to go.

The Democrat party is not the party of my grandparents, or my parents for that matter. It is a party of committed ideologues run by Leftists, Progressives, Marxists, Communists (name your poison), whose only goal is to fundamentally change this country into that of a socio-Marxist state. There are some principled people left in the party, albeit isolated and powerless. The very nature of the party mission does not permit dissent nor foster independent thinking or opinions. Those who do not march in lockstep with the leadership are treated as outcasts, in some instances given the treatment that resulted in Senator Joseph Lieberman leaving the party.

This is the face of the enemy. We have to win. There is no option.

This is why a new, vital Conservative Republican party is being forged.

President Reagan unknowingly describes the aims of the Patriot Movement:

By Maxim Lott, FOXNews.com, Wednesday, September 23, 2009

President Obama’s “safe schools czar” is a former schoolteacher who has advocated promoting homosexuality in schools, written about his past drug abuse, expressed his contempt for religion and detailed an incident in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men.

Conservatives are up in arms about the appointment of Kevin Jennings, Obama’s director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, saying he is too radical for the job.

Jennings was appointed to the position largely because of his longtime record of working to end bullying and discrimination in schools. In 1990, as a teacher in Massachusetts, he founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which now has over 40 chapters at schools nationwide.

“I believe that 100 percent of those who are opposing him (Obama) now would be against him if he were a white Democrat.” – Bill Clinton, who also dismisses Jimmy Carter’s comments on race and advises the Republicans to come up with a plan similar to Newt Gingrich’s “Contract With America”.

Obama’s ‘Green Czar’ Van Jones: ‘Green Jobs’ Goal is ‘Complete Revolution’ Away From ‘Gray Capitalism’ [update 6: 9/11 Truther and The Nancy Pelosi Connection]

http://ironicsurrealism.blogivists.com/2009/09/02/van-jones-obamas-green-czar-‘green-jobs’-goal-is-‘complete-revolution’-away-from-‘gray-capitalism’/

Van Jones a failed radical revolutionary changes his persona just enough to be able  sneak in the back door as a greenie all the way to White House! Obama & Dems embrace him. The far left ideologues Obama surrounds himself with are far to numerous to not be a reflection of Obama’s politics.

Van Jones stated he made his controversial remarks before he worked for Obama Admin. As if that makes much difference. The audio in the YouTube video below is dated April 8 2008.

Update 2:

This is an interesting nugget according to this article Jones and Nancy Pelosi worked together developing the 2007 Energy Act. Not the same thing but damn close. If true. Why would Pelosi corroborate with a communist leaning character such as Van Jones to help her with the 2007 Energy Act?

Oakland’s program inspired U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring the idea to the national level. Jones helped her develop a bill for Congress, and he formed the national Green for All Campaign to rally support. It worked: Congress passed a 2007 Energy Bill that included $125 million for green-collar job training.

Jones also caught the attention of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Obama.

America has been sucker punched. The unifier, the great post-racial, post-American president, has adopted the street tactics of Chicago thug politics. His ACORN/SEIU/Union goons are beating up decent American citizens at town hall meetings. And with the violence comes vilification: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has claimed that protesters are “carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”

Union thugs beat up a protester, Randy Arthur, at Florida Democrat Congresswoman Kathy Castor’s town hall meeting in Tampa on Aug. 6. Castor’s union thugs also shut the doors to prevent the opposing opinions from being heard. Fifteen hundred people were there, but they would not let them in the front door. When the doors were finally opened, only about 75 people were allowed in. Meanwhile, by the time those 75 were let in, the union and ACORN thugs had already been quietly ushered in through the back door, and had already taken seats that were reserved for them in the front. Castor herself then proceeded to leave, not taking any questions, claiming that it was because she “couldn’t hear.” Translation: she doesn’t have answers, because she hasn’t read the House bill.

And in Missouri, over 1,000 St. Louis Tea Party taxpayers showed up to attend the Russ Carnahan town hall meeting in South St. Louis. They too were locked out — while the Carnahan staff was sneaking members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in the side door marked “handicapped.” Remember: President Barack Obama paid out at least $2.25 million to the SEIU, the nation’s largest labor union. And SEIU COPE-PAC spent $13,355,389 to get Obama elected president. SEIU paid for door-to-door canvassing for Obama, voter identification and registration, and phone banks.

The thugs were attacking free citizens. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has this: “Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with ‘Don’t tread on me’ printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack. ‘It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,’ he said.”

Not for conservatives. Not for free Americans.

Expect a lot of this, folks. Expect to fight for your right to speak freely. They are co-opting the heartfelt outcry of great Americans as a propaganda trick. They will pack town halls this summer with their paid street thugs and video the proceedings with shaky cameras so that their media shills and whores will happily run the video as the “American street.”

Meanwhile, leftist bloggers are trying desperately to substantiate the lies that Pelosi, Obama’s thugs, and the disinformation blogs on the payroll of subversive groups are spreading like so much manure. They are photoshopping pictures to make it look as if the protesters are acting like leftwing thugs. The Huffington Post ran a closely cropped picture with this caption: “In one image, a young man with a shirt that reads ‘Hitler Gave Great Speeches Too’ is photographed making what looks like a Hitler salute. TalkLeft blogger Jeralyn Merritt interviewed the teen, who told her he was 16 and hailed from former Gov. Sarah Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. The progressive website FireDogLake, has more.”

The HuffPo took down this post after I called them on it, but by then it had already spread all over the Net. This sweet boy should sue. This is libel. He should sue every blog that ran this smear.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told demonstrators: “Behave yourselves like your mom would probably tell you to do.” Look who is preaching us about civility: this thuggish administration. The good news is that the American people are too smart to fall for such cheap tricks. The good news is that now average, ordinary Americans can see how evil and deceitful the Democrats are. It is no longer a media story they never heard or saw. It is the American citizen. The average American is being smeared. Now it is in the daily fabric of their lives. I hope the Democrats keep the mask off, so that everyone can see the fifth column at work.

This is turning into a low grade civil war. Are Obama and Pelosi and their allies ratcheting up civil unrest so that they can call in reinforcements?

The nerve of these thugs. They are fascists. Do not back down. Do not cower. Do not go quietly into the night. You will be locked out. So what? Chant from the street. And get everything that happens on video.

President Obama sure has been disingenous in emulating Lincoln considering

his actions have been totally opposite these words. (and they weren’t just

words as Lincoln supported them with deeds)
