Court Knocks Down Arizona Law Requiring Voters Prove Citizenship

Supreme Court building 2 SC Court knocks down Arizona law requiring voters prove citizenship

The Supreme Court on Monday threw out an Arizona law that required people to prove they were citizens before they could use a new federal registration system meant to make signing up to vote easier.

In a 7-2 vote, the court ruled the Arizona law was trumped by the federal “motor voter” registration law.

The decision split conservatives on the High Court, with Associate Justice Antonin Scalia writing the opinion for the majority and fellow conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting.

The court’s liberal wing sided with Scalia, as did Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy.

In his majority opinion, Scalia wrote that Arizona was precluded “from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself.”

God Gives Victory When His People Fight

“The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”– attributed to Benjamin Franklin

There is no doubt America is being assaulted by an administration that is tyrannical, attempting to rule through policy – not law – only because the American people have become rebels against their own foundational principles and have eaten the fruit of their own ways.

For those who have not taken the time to understand history (God’s story), He promised judgment to a disobedient people. Read Deuteronomy 28, and you will see there are 14 verses of blessings to a people who keep the commandments of the Lord, while there stands 54 verses of curses against those who refuse God’s rule.

Let’s take a look at what took place just this last week in America on the behalf of a people who respond to God’s commandments. Instead of magnifying crimes – which only strengthens tyranny – the American people are beginning to magnify the law unto judgment in order to establish righteousness and peace (Isaiah 51:4):

  • Operation Rescue let out a press release this week stating that in 2013 alone, 30 abortion clinics have been closed down, more than doubling the amount of closures over all of last year.
  • A tea party group in southern California held an “Impeach Obama” demonstration on a major freeway overpass, holding signs such as “Remember Benghazi” and “Obama Lies.” Their protest brought so much attention that it backed up traffic over 10 miles!
  • It was also reported that officials in eight northern Colorado counties united in opposition to the state’s new gun control laws and oil and gas regulations, going so far as considering seceding and forming a new state, North Colorado. Citizens also successfully petitioned to recall two senators, Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, who continuously ignored their constituents and voted for gun control legislation.
  • The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed a lawsuit against the IRS on behalf of 25 tea party groups that were targeted when seeking tax-exempt status. Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ, stated, “The IRS and the federal government are not going to get away with this unlawful targeting of conservative groups. … The lawsuit sends a very powerful message to the IRS and the Obama administration – including the White House: Americans are not going to be bullied and intimidated by our government.”
  • After pressure from anti-religious groups to keep prayer out of high school graduations, Liberty High School Valedictorian Roy Costner IV took to the podium, tore up his pre-approved speech, and instead thanked his parents for leading him to the Lord at a young age. He then proceeded to pray the Lord’s Prayer. The crowd burst into applause and cheers so loud that Costner’s voice was almost drowned out. Costner’s prayer has received worldwide support and media coverage.

So it stands true that God is willing to give what His people are willing to fight for. America, we fight the good fight of faith because the law is on our side, and God grants us the victory every time.

Edward Snowden: Hero Or Traitor?

Edward Snowden SC Edward Snowden: Hero or traitor?

On the Right, at least, the battle lines are clearly drawn between those who worship the concept of “The State” over the natural rights of man, and those who believe that the individual has some intrinsic value. The State-worshipers will tell you that Snowden violated secrecy laws, so off with his head! Meanwhile, the other side worries about how all-powerful the State has become.

One is reminded of the White Rose resistance movement in Nazi Germany. At least seven of the valiant members of the group were executed by the Gestapo, for the horrific crime of speaking out against the government.

White Rose survivor Jurgen Wittenstein described what it was like to live in Hitler’s Germany:

The government—or rather, the party—controlled everything: the news media, arms, police, the armed forces, the judiciary system, communications, travel, all levels of education from kindergarten to universities, all cultural and religious institutions. Political indoctrination started at a very early age, and continued by means of the Hitler Youth with the ultimate goal of complete mind control. Children were exhorted in school to denounce even their own parents for derogatory remarks about Hitler or Nazi ideology. My own teenage cousin, for instance, threatened to denounce his father; and I was barely able to deter him by pointing out to him that he himself might end up destitute if his father were arrested and incarcerated.

An excerpt from one of the leaflets they distributed:

[W]hy do you allow these men who are in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanized state system presided over by criminals and drunks? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right – or rather, your moral duty – to eliminate this system?

Bear in mind that our current “leaders” (or brood of vipers, if you prefer) sued the state of Arizona for passing a law allowing police to merely question people regarding their citizenship status. Yet, the NSA is not asking anyone for information. No, they are searching and seizing it with gay abandon. How’s that for your precious State?

Obama and his co-conspirators (yes, I realize that this data was also gathered under Bush) would have a stronger case for their tyranny if all this “intel” actually yielded some results. But, heck, they even ignored verified information from the Ruskies regarding the Boston Marathon bombers. And don’t even mention the 9/11 conspirators, all being watched (but not restrained) by our glorious protectors.

Finally, one of the most hated policies under King George III were the Writs of Assistance—general search warrants that allowed customs officers to search any building or ship they thought might contain smuggled goods, even without probable cause for suspicion. Maybe that’s why we now have a Fourth Amendment.

Oh yeah, those White Rose “traitors” are now among Germany’s most beloved heroes. Go figure.

911 Operators Play The “Racial Profiling Game”

suspect2 911 Operators Play the Racial Profiling Game

I live in Mesa, AZ, which has become the latest mecca for American politics. We’ve been invaded by the Communist Party. Party leaders are showing up from Detroit, Chicago, and California to organize the immigrant labor unions. Any path to citizenship leads directly to the left. They are trying to change the political dynamics and deliver Arizona to Obama.

Of course, with Chicago-style politics, you get a lot of gangs and shootings. Last week, a guy (pictured above) walked into the local Mesa convenience store and allegedly shot and killed the clerk, which is highly unusual for Mesa. Everybody in Mesa is out past midnight in the summer because it doesn’t even cool off until the sun goes down. If you shoot somebody in Arizona in the summer, there will be a lot of witnesses.

There were people in the convenience store watching this go down. The police released a photo of the suspect, and I swore I saw this guy in the area (and he was not from Mesa.)

Then this morning, we was driving to Scottsdale, and there he was – or at least a guy who fit the description. Looked just like him, staggering across the crosswalk. He stopped directly in front of our car, leaned forward, stared at both of us for 5 seconds, and then flipped us off with both hands.

If this had been LA (or even Chicago), I wouldn’t give it much thought. So like a good citizen, as we all are, I called 911, trying to prevent him from going up to the mall and go on a shooting spree.

Here’s where the fun starts. The 911 operator tried to play the “racial profiling game.” She refused to dispatch the police and kept arguing with me to “describe” the suspect. She wanted me to say “Black”, so she could say “Well, you can’t accuse just any Black man of being a suspect . . .”

I told her “I don’t have to take a lot of abuse off some 911 operators” and hung up the phone. And that’s my best advice. If they argue, you do the same thing. The 911 operator’s job is to dispatch the police and let them make the judgment call.

This is an old racial profiling game that has been going on ever since 9/11. I was living in St. Louis, MO on 9/11. The FBI was chasing four suspects that they said eluded their net. When I went for groceries, I overheard the clerks talking about 4 suspicious Middle-Eastern men who came into the store, grabbed up boxes of soft drinks and a dozen bags of chips, a couple pounds of cheese, and rushed in and out in about 5 minutes. And paid cash.

One of the clerks went to the parking lot to get their license plate, but only saw a black Mercedes skidding out of the lot.

Why does this always fall on my shoulders? I’m the one who feels the big responsibility to report it. So I called 9/11, and guess what I was told?

“You can’t just accuse a bunch of men from the middle east of being terrorists.”

The FBI finally caught up with these guys; I remember reading it in the paper. They were driving a black Mercedes. So let that be a lesson to you. When it really gets out of hand, and pressure cookers start blowing up, and people start attacking grandma and grandpa in the mall — you be somewhere else. As long as Americans still fall for Obama and his communist propaganda, they will have to learn the hard way.

DOJ Declares War On All Non-Muslims

Muslim Americans 620x350 300x169 DOJ Declares War on All Non Muslims

Holder and Justice.  Two words that just don’t work well together.  Holder equals ‘political agenda.‘  Justice equals ‘a level playing field for all legal, law-abiding American citizens.

Our United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, with marching orders (I have no doubt) from the Oval Office, has decreed that anybody who says anything which might hurt the feelings of Muslims – whether in the mainstream media, on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, websites or even private emails, will face retaliation from the government which is supposed to protect us.

Yes, Big Brother is snooping everywhere, even our emails and Facebook posts.  So much for Freedom of Speech — the First Amendment to our Constitution.  These dirtbags use our Constitution as a doormat.  ‘Executive Orders’ have bypassed our legislative branch, lame as it is.  Our President and his Departmental puppets have become a dictatorship.  Apparently we are all (except for Muslims and illegals) supposed to ‘toe the politically-correct line’ or we are in very deep doo-doo.

Sorry Misters Obama and Holder, but I was running laps on this track of life when you were both still wearing doo-doo filled diapers.  I have seen our nation and government change over the decades since I began to seriously watch this political sideshow.  Yes, there have been lots of good changes. At the forefront was the end to racial discrimination laws, segregation and separate education – but those were championed many years ago, when there were still passionate leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King leading the fight.  Now, all we have left are, for the most part, political prostitutes (why do Jackson and Sharpton come to mind) who use Dr. King’s ‘Dream’ to keep blacks on the government welfare plantation so that they, themselves will not have to get “real” jobs.

A recent article by WND (http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/doj-slam-muslims-on-facebook-face-feds/) reveals that, “In its latest effort to protect followers of Islam in the US, the Obama ‘Justice’ Department warns against using social media to spread information considered inflammatory against Muslims, threatening that it could constitute a violation of civil rights.”  Excuse me, but this sure does sound like ‘profiling’ to me, and that’s the very thing Obama, Holder and Napolitano have been accusing Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio of doing.

So, let me get this straight.  In the eyes of Misters Obama and Holder and Ms. Napolitano, it is covered under the First Amendment for a so-called  “artist”  to display a crucifix (called “Piss Christ”)  in a jar of urine (though it offends followers of Jesus Christ), or to say that the Holocaust never happened (which is an insult to Holocaust survivors, their families, all Jews and others).   This has happened because the so-called “silent majority” (good and decent folks with good and decent values and a love for America) have remained silent way too long.

It really is time for each of us to use that quote from a very old, yet still timely, movie, “Network.”  The quote:  “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.”

Frankly, I have no intention of shutting up or being silenced by Holder’s Goon Squad.  I may end up in a secured facility, courtesy of the United States taxpayer,  but I will be getting free food, free rent, free cable TV, medical treatment and the best of everything else taxpayer money can buy – for sitting on my butt and doing nothing.  This is obviously what the “American Dream” has become.

Should that happen, I just need to find a very patient pet lover to give my very spoiled cat, Buddy, a home where he will be loved – often in spite of his actions.  It’s kind of the way God loves you and me.  Our nation really is in very deep trouble.  Is there a way out? I have my doubts.
