Laura is Mistaken

One Democrat's Opinion

Date: 14 My 08

 

On the O'Reilly Factor today, 14 My 08, FOX NEWS Channel Laura Ingram contended that what the "liberals" want is to talk about is "race".

 

On the contrary, what the "liberals" want is to divert attention away from authentic issues. They will use anything to keep the public mind busy debating lesser and trivial issues (or non-issues). Today probably less than 5% of Americans support such vile organizations as the black panthers, the Ku Klux Klan, the insipidity of the Aryan myth, or any other "superior race" absurdities and hate mongering.

 

My friend, Jerry Zeifman, "the Dissident- Democrat"
(and House Chief Counsel in the Nixon Impeachment proceedings), terms those now pretending to be liberals, as "illiberals". In that they constantly and forcefully put their efforts into increasing government powers, thus decreasing individual freedoms, I have to agree with him. Those who have commandeered our national media certainly appear to be totally illiberal as they support government infringement and judgment over every decision that should be made by individuals, thus limiting our freedoms and rights.

 

The most urgent issue of our time should be the support given by McCain, Clinton and Obama to ratify several treaties surrendering American sovereignty, thus ultimately surrendering all freedoms and rights of the American people, to the foreign bureaucrats of the United Nations. Of the 192 member "states" of the UN, less than 50 embrace some form of democratic civilization, meaning at least 140 of UN member "states" are adamantly opposed to any form of democratic civilization, and even more the UN majority despises everything American. Why should our US Senators or our President ratify treaties that would give these America haters control over our industries, our military, our rights to the riches of sea bottom minerals, and other treaties that also take away our freedoms and rights? This would render American freedoms and rights subordinate to the whims of the majority government administrations of the UN; people who want to strip America of money, power and our system of government in which the people decide by majority vote. Don't ever forget: You have no vote in any selection of UN officials and bureaucrats, and you would have no recourse to anything they might decide for you, or for America!

 

Secondly, Americans, when considering the hundreds of levies of taxation at all levels, local, city, county, state, regional and federal, combine to be probably the highest taxed population on the face of the Earth. We need tax reductions at all levels in order to put the people back in control of both their own lives and the prosperity of the nation.

 

Our nation is being invaded by millions of people from other countries around the world. We need immigrants (those entering the USA through legal processes). All authentic immigrants are welcome and deserve praise for their honesty. On the contrary, if someone forcefully enters your house without even asking your permission, and takes whatever he wants, turning your home into turmoil, then remaining and living in your house without your permission, would you agree to his residence there? Should he be continually bringing more and more of his relatives into your home to live with you? Our country is our "national house/home". Should anyone from anywhere in the world be allowed to come into our home, without our permission, and live on funds from our tax supported government benefits? The hordes of invaders (those entering the USA through corruption – arrogantly violating our laws), regardless of their country of origin, must be curtailed immediately. A large proportion of the current economic downturn in the USA has been caused by massive illicit employment in jobs of every kind being unlawfully occupied by invaders, by massive costs to taxpayers in every facet of government benefits; by overwhelming our health care facilities; by overcrowding our schools, among other violations of our sovereignty, our freedoms, our rights. In addition thousands of invaders are associated with the gangs, drug importation and disbursement, and other violent criminal acts that continue terrorizing so many neighborhoods across the nation. The overall cost of this massive invasion, both moneywise and in violent crime, is probably impossible to accurately assess. Far more people have died in gang violence, drug and weapons importation, human smuggling, during the same time period, than in the battles of Afghanistan and Iraq. The war at home, especially on our southern border, should be a major issue to the people of this nation.

 

Not necessarily third, but highly important, we must obey and respect the intention on both sides of the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, . ." This very obviously separates Church and State. Congress is not to regulate religions. It clearly illustrates the intention of the signers of the Constitution to prevent commingling of Government and Religion. However, though not through legislation, government has favored certain religions over others, and has operated in opposition to some religions (including Mormons); this in direct violation of the First Amendment.

 

What every voter should be concerned with is, "What is best for all Americans as a national population united in democratic governance", rather than focusing on "what can I and my group take from government" (from taxpayers), or on "race", ethnicity, religion, national background, or other divisive issues very carefully designed to instigate hatred by some Americans against others. DNA proof shows that all people are either close or remote cousins of each other, regardless of location on the planet or color of skin. As proven by DNA research, we all began as one people in Africa more than 70,000 years ago. Let's get back together as a world family based on equal responsibilities, freedoms and rights for all of mankind.
