"Concern for the environment": fertile soil for green boondoggles

It's expensive AND it's counterproductive:

Lock up the Gitmo lawyers - but put them somewhere other than Gitmo

Debra Burlingame and Thomas Joscelyn: Gitmo's Indefensible Lawyers

Amnesty International and the Gitmo lawyers help the enemy.

"Human rights groups" these days are nothing more than totalitarians in disguise.

Avoid Chicago at all costs, or be victimized

Don't buy real estate there. Don't attempt to do business there.

Never vote for anybody from Chicago.

Why not?

Because Chicago is corruption, and corruption is Chicago.

A Chicago real estate scandal that deserves national attention

The Obaminators should have shut CNN down in a HEARTBEAT...

Treason = aid and comfort to the enemy.

CNN is still in business.

No arrests have been made.

What does that tell you about the Obaminators?

Is a DOD insider leaking classified information to CNN?

South Carolina Fights Back

State lawmakers vote to block health care mandates

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 1:28 p.m.
COLUMBIA (AP) -- South Carolina legislators have given initial approval to two measures aimed at derailing the massive health care overhaul signed by President Obama.

A Senate Judiciary subcommittee Wednesday approved a bill and proposed constitutional amendment that would require South Carolina's attorney general to sue the federal government over mandates that people buy health insurance.

The 4-1 votes come a day after Obama signed the nearly $1 trillion overhaul. Attorneys general from 13 states, including South Carolina, immediately sued.

State GOP Sen. Mike Rose of Summerville said his bill would boost South Carolina's challenge by putting the directive to sue in state law. Democratic Sen. Brad Hutto of Orangeburg called the legislation a waste of time.

Treason on the Energy Front

According to India Times, US says it is open to nuke deal with Pakistan.

Evidently, Obama thinks it's perfectly okay to promote nuclear reactors in Muslim countries, while putting up every roadblock imaginable against the 100 percent legitimate and desperately needed generation of nuclear power within the US.

It's nothing short of treasonable.

Can't stand it any more?

The American citizen and taxpayer is being raped. It's as simple as that. It's Chicago-style political thuggery writ large. Once this parasite takes hold of any part of the economy or the body politic, it uses every stratagem to bleed its host until nothing is left. Even if someone, somehow, manages to stop the "euthanasiator" from forcing through this particular round of national socialist "health care" legislation, it will keep coming back around again and again and again, because the system is broken.

What to do? The options are capitulation to tyranny (unacceptable to me), violence (counterproductive, in that it gives the tyrants more excuses for repressive measures), and departure from the totalitarian state.

Departure en masse means secession. True, it was thwarted - temporarily - in the US in the 1860s, but much more recently it succeeded, without bloodshed, with the "Velvet Divorce" in Czechoslovakia. If sufficiently many citizens of sufficiently many states want it, it'll happen.

Don't let the leftists fool you! The growing demand for secession in the US has nothing to do with bringing back slavery. Quite the contrary; secession has everything to do with protecting ourselves from being enslaved to a tyrannical federal government.

I have posted some tea party, state sovereignty, and Southern regional links in the 1389 Links blogroll in the sidebar of this log. The movement has been quite active in South Carolina and elsewhere. If you have any more links, by all means, post them here and let me know. There's still time to get involved.

Departure as an individual means expatriation. That's a drastic measure, but if you have some marketable skills and some ability to acquire another language, there are some options. If you think you might be interested, read the articles here and here.

We will be blogging more about secession at 1389 Blog.

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) announced three airports in northern Michigan have received grants totaling $726,409 for airport maintenance and improvements. The funding was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.
