Creating Nephilim
By Douglas V. Gibbs
It seems to be not enough to reject the existence of God, and to disobey every one of his commands of which he put into place to protect us from our fallen human nature. We are in the process of going far beyond the Tower of Babel where humanity aimed to build a tower tall enough to reach God. We no longer seek God out, nor do we care about climbing the heavens to prove his existence, or his absence. We have decided it is not enough to mock God, and question God. We now endeavor to become God.
The best way to poke God in the eye with a stick, humanity has determined, is to mess with the realm that God is best known for - the realm of creation. How better to disprove the existence of a Creator, than to replace Him? As a society, we are disgusted with what science is doing, yet we say nothing as it happens. Science Fiction has constantly provided us with tales of horror resulting from scientists playing God, yet we have this undeniable fascination that makes us do it, anyway. We are seeking the singularity, where humanity evolves into some kind of utopian being that can do, and be, everything that God is - Creator, destroyer, and immortal.
We have become Frankenstein, and Jekyll, willing to go to any length to achieve our madness. But rather than dig up bodies in a graveyard, sew body parts together in a dark and dreary lab, zap our monster with a bolt of lightning, or become instant monsters at the swallow of a special serum, we choose genetic manipulation. In a sense, we have become Mr. Hyde, freeing ourselves from conscience, and acting upon our every whim. We seem to be willing to do whatever it takes to become the giver of life, and the destroyer of life, using science as our method, and the good of the community as our excuse.
When we broke the code of human DNA, the event enabled humanity to begin unlocking secrets we never had access to before. Our understanding broadened, but after opening a secret window into a place where only dreams once lay, because of our nature, we simply began to ask more questions. Our questions, however, have ceased to be motivated by our desire to learn more about this wonderful universe God has given us to occupy for a short time in infinity, but instead about how we could selfishly push the envelope, twist creation, and decipher death. Slaughtering millions of humans in some kind of orgy of a sacrifice of innocent blood is not enough for us. Shattering moral barriers, with a total disregard for what is best for the survival of our species, is only the tip of the iceberg. We want to touch everything, manipulate creation itself, and prove that God couldn't possibly exist, because how could He if we have become Him?
Cloning was only the beginning. Whether we know it, or not, cloning is now a normal part of science, becoming as easy to accomplish as drawing blood from a wiggling mouse. In fact, the scientific community recently congratulated itself once again, as a team in Japan cloned a mouse from a single drop of blood. And now, with the blessing of the United Kingdom's fertility regulator, scientists in the U.K. are going to begin creating people from the DNA of three people, swapping out genetic material that may lead to genetic defects or diseases, and replacing that material with healthy DNA components from a third party.
I own the DVD of a film produced in 1997 that tackles what this kind of technology could lead to, in our rapidly liberalizing society. Eugenics drives the fictional society, where science creates the master race by diagnosing and classifying the best genetic traits, and producing the children that will become "valids" based on that technology. As a result, the "valids," being genetically superior to the children conceived by love, derisively known as "in-valids," qualify for the better jobs, and in turn live the better lifestyles. The society breaks into two classes of "haves" and "have-nots," but in a way determined by genetics. The battle over destiny, the will to overcome the handicap of being genetically inferior, and the consequences of technological developments in the world of genetics, serves as a center-piece for the film.

The natural conclusion of these games of science, however, may have an even more insidious result than Gattica, or today's critics of the mad mad world of genetics, could even predict. Combined with the myth of man-made climate change, and the liberal cry for finding a way to curb our alleged over-population, moving people into the cities and away from rural areas as commanded by Agenda 21 is not enough. If the population needs to be reduced, and scientists are figuring out ways to force the evolution of humanity through genetic manipulation, why wouldn't the growing power of bigger government not see that the best thing to do is to simply allow the more perfect humans to live, and those that are far from perfection, to die?
Gives you a whole new definition for death panels, doesn't it?
This kind of method of picking and choosing based on genetic superiority is nothing new. And I am not talking about the practices of communist regimes, or the genetic experiments of Adolf Hitler, as he sought the perfection of his own master race, but in activities that are happening now, already, in our own society.
Over ninety percent of unborn babies diagnosed as being Down Syndrome, are aborted. How long before we begin killing off babies with slight defects. How long before we abort babies that would be considered perfectly healthy, but not good enough because they can't compete with the super-babies being created by genetic manipulation?
How long?
Humans have a propensity for pushing the envelope. This is why opponents to gay marriage warn about the dangers of the government justifying the homosexual lifestyle. Next, it will be polygamists. Then pedophiles. Then those that engage in beastiality. There is no line in the sand if we are not willing to draw it. The envelope always gets pushed, and liberalism always seeks the next barrier to break through.
In the biblical book of Genesis, Chapter 6, Verse 9, it is written, "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."
Noah was perfect in his generations. He was purely human, with his genetic ancestry not manipulated. In those days the world is as it is now, given to violence and disobedience to God, and with Man’s thoughts and imaginations so continually evil, it triggered God’s judgment on mankind. Mankind was so corrupted that God deemed it necessary to destroy man and start over again with Noah and his family. Noah was chosen because of his faith in God, and the fact that his genetic line had been unaffected by an infiltration that had altered Man's genetic make-up,
There were giants in those days, and they were nephilim. We seem to be trying to create our own nephilim, but this time without the fallen angels. We don't need to use demons. Our evil transcends even them.
And what will happen when the scientists that are creating perfect beings through genetic manipulation achieve their goal? What will happen to those that don't make the grade? What happens to the remaining billions of people who were created through the more traditional manner? When one considers the Left's desire for a massive reduction in population, one can only imagine.
We are creating our own nephilim, and we plan to replace humanity with them - and nobody is opposing such madness. We have all fallen for the propaganda, and perhaps we, too, are curious of what humanity will become should the push to replace God remain on course.
Then again, some believe the genetic manipulators don't have that kind of time. There are bigger things challenging humanity's existence, and as with Rome, collapse is beginning to happen from within - with or without a superior race of human beings.

"You and I, weve been at war since before either of us even existed; you transformed your party; you transformed my country; you WILL NOT transform me." If youre listening to this - you are the resistance.
I am an American
By Douglas V. Gibbs
Last Night, as the sandwich shop employee assembled my foot-long oven roasted masterpiece, and my wife's cold cut combo, I got to talking to the gentleman in line behind me. He made reference, after quipping we are losing our rights and freedoms, that a red star is on California's flag for a reason. I understood the communist reference, chuckled, and then the man said that it could be worse. He's originally from New York, and at least here he's not limited to the size of soda he can buy.
He said that when he was a kid, he should have seen this coming. One of his elementary teachers asked that in the class for all Americans to stand up. He said he was the only one climb to his feet. The children in that class, even though born in the United States, considered themselves to be more associated with the nation of their ancestors, than the nation of their birth.
A few weeks ago a member of my Constitution Class asked me what the Founding Fathers would think of dual citizenship. She figured they wouldn't be hip with the concept of sharing one's allegiance with another country, in addition to their loyalties to the United States. She was right. The plan of the deconstructionists, and the work of over a hundred years of socialist infiltration and indoctrination, has finally brought America to a point that the leaders of the Soviet Union often spoke about. We would someday cease to be America, and we would do it to ourselves.
During the American Revolution only a third of the young country's population supported the fight for independence. Another third of the country was indifferent, willing to live under whatever rule emerged victorious from the hostilities. The final third were "loyalists." These Tories were loyal to The Crown, considering themselves to be British Subjects. They saw the revolutionary effort to break away from Britain as being treasonous. These were the people that sabotaged the American war effort, and did what they could to discourage the effort towards independence.
After the American Revolution ended, most of the Tories headed for Great Britain. Some remained behind. The British did not recognize the United States as being a sovereign country, and believed that the petulant colonies would come crawling back to the King, asking for forgiveness, in due time. After all, believed the British, and their loyal subjects in America, self-governance is a losing proposition, and in the long run would fail, and the hungry colonists would come crawling back to the British Empire.
The Tories that remained behind in the young United States tried to infiltrate the system, sabotage local politics, and convince the wayward Americans to return to the Mother Country.
The Founding Fathers, in turn, demanded full allegiance to America. For example, the definition of Natural Born Citizen required that both parents of the American in question had to be American citizens at the time of the birth of the subject in order for him to be considered natural born. This would avoid people with divided loyalties from taking the presidency.
Assimilation was a key to becoming an American. Immigrants were always welcomed, but under the condition that they properly navigated the processes of coming to America, and that they become fully American, and shed their loyalties to the country of their birth.
George Washington, in a letter to John Adams, stated that immigrants should be absorbed into American life so that "by an intermixture with our people, they, or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures, laws: in a word soon become one people."
In a 1790 speech to Congress on the naturalization of immigrants, James Madison stated that America should welcome the immigrant who could assimilate, but exclude the immigrant who could not readily "incorporate himself into our society."
Alexander Hamilton wrote in 1802: "The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family."

I am an American, through and through - and so is my wife. She was born in Mexico, and naturalized in 2007. If you ask her she does not say that she is Mexican, or Mexican-American. She will tell you straight to your face, "I am an American."

Abortion in Sign Language
The heartbreaking, but brutally honest way to say ‘abortion’ in sign language (VIDEO)
A video making the rounds of the pro-life Internet world comes directly from a prominent online sign language dictionary, and shows the sign for the word "abortion."
It is both heartbreaking, and surprising in its honesty. A baby being cradled in the signer's hands, and then being unceremoniously dumped with one of the hands.
Some pro-life activists often say that people won't be against abortion until they see abortion. This sign allows people to "see" abortion in a powerful way, even without the use of graphic images.
Take a look (if the video doesn't work, click here):

Images of the protests bordering on riots and police efforts to fight back the rioters are beginning to surface online and make their way into Western media.

Immigration Bill Penalizes Hiring of Americans
A few years ago, my son, desperate for employment, visited a Strawberry field to ask about employment as a strawberry picker, and was turned away because he can't speak Spanish fluently. . .
Ted Cruz Exposes the Amnesty Bill… $5000 Penalty for Hiring Citizens Over Legalized Aliens… SERIOUSLY!!!
We can’t possibly expect our Senators to read a 1200 page bill before voting on it. Can we? Well Thank God Ted Cruz read it. Not only did Cruz read it but he schooled anyone who would listen from the Senate floor on Tuesday. Cruz found a loophole that actually penalizes an employer $5000 for hiring a citizen over a legalized alien. Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up. Senator Cruz was quoted as saying:
“I filed an amendment that would have corrected one of the most egregious aspects of the gang of eight bill as it intersects with Obamacare legislation, namely a penalty imposed on U.S. employers for hiring U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. This bill says if an employer hires a citizen or a legal immigrant, the IRS can impose a $5,000 penalty on that employer. But if the employer instead hires someone with RPI status, that penalty will go away. That is utterly and completely indefensible.”
“Nobody in this body wants to see African-American unemployment go up. Nobody wants to see Hispanic unemployment go up, youth unemployment go up, union household unemployment go up, legal immigrant unemployment go up. Yet every one of those will happen if this Gang of Eight bill passes without fixing this problem. If that happens, all 100 members of the U.S. Senate will be accountable to our constituents for explaining why we voted to put a federal penalty on hiring U.S. citizens and hiring legal immigrants. I hope this body will choose to pass my amendment and fix this grave defect in the Gang of Eight legislation.”

PALIN: IMMIGRATION BILL TARGETS AMERICAN WORKERS
On Sunday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin denounced the Senate's immigration bill in an exclusive opinion piece for Breitbart News. One week before that, though, Palin laid out a promise and a warning to her own party in a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C. She said Americans do not deserve the exceptional country its founding fathers left them if they do not keep faith with the working class. And she said that that faith would be lost if the the Gang of Eight's bill, passed by the Senate on Thursday, became law.
Her words are especially important as the immigration fight heads to the House, where Republican leaders have signaled they want "action" even if they do not take up the Senate bill.
At the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Palin said the voices of those in America's working class "can reach millions of other patriots of all races, color, and creed who also value the dignity and opportunity of freedom."
"They are the brave, having kept faith with everything we love about this land of the free," Palin said. "And we will have no hope of reclaiming this country and we will deserve it even less if we fail to keep faith with them."
Palin warned, "That is the message our leaders, especially those leaders in the GOP, need to understand...You do not marginalize, you do not discredit and dismiss everyday, average hard-working Americans."
Not even 24 hours after Palin spoke, Ryan Lizza, a reporter for the liberal New Yorker magazine, revealed on June 16 that staff for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the leading face behind the push for "comprehensive immigration reform," denigrated American workers, adopting the mentality of the donors and chamber of commerce fervently backing the immigration bill.
As Breitbart News wrote, two members of Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) staff disparaged American workers to Lizza, telling him there are American workers who "just can't cut it" across "every sector." Days later, a devastating Congressional Budget Office report concluded that the Senate's immigration bill would lower wages and raise the unemployment rate in an economy that is nowhere near healthy.

Lois Lerner Waived Her Right to 5th Amendment, Was in Contempt
An IRS official effectively waived her right not to testify about the tax agency's targeting of conservative groups, a Republican-led congressional committee concluded on Friday in a vote that cleared the way for Congress to hold her in contempt.
Lois Lerner, former head of the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, angered Republicans last month when she invoked her constitutional right not to answer their questions at a hearing.
The committee is investigating the IRS's admission that it subjected applications for tax exempt status from groups with "Tea Party" or "Patriot" in their names to special scrutiny.
By reading a statement telling lawmakers that she did "nothing wrong" before invoking her Fifth Amendment protections, some Republicans said that Lerner waived her rights.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives approved on a party-line vote a Republican resolution on Friday saying that Lerner did waive her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

Soldier in Trouble for Conservative Reading Material
Soldier Found Guilty By Army After Reprimand for Reading Books By Conservatives
A member of the U.S. Army Band who said he was reprimanded for having anti-Obama bumper stickers on his personal car, serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at a party and reading books written by conservative authors like Sean Hannity was found guilty of three Article 15 charges
Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a decorated soloist with the Army Band, was found guilty of failing to go to an appointed place of duty, disobedience of an order and making a false official statement, his attorney said.
The charges were handed down one day after Sommers told Fox News that he was facing discrimination and persecution because of his conservative political and religious beliefs.
Retired Navy Commander John Bennett Wells told Fox News the charges were stemmed from giving a superior officer the wrong date for a doctor’s appointment. He’s also accused of failing to carry out an order. In order to comply with that order, Sommers would have had to disclose private information about his autistic son’s medical records.
“The timing does seem strange,” Wells told Fox News. “It’s suspicious. It looks like a graduated attempt to build a case against him on some really ridiculous charges.
Wells is representing the 25-year veteran who, until last summer, had a spotless record.

Reporter Faces Trouble For Reporting On Student Arrested for NRA Shirt
By Douglas V. Gibbs
On June 18, 2013 we reported here on Political Pistachio about an 8th Grade boy in West Virginia who wore a National Rifle Association shirt to school, a shirt sporting the image of a rifle, and the NRA logo, and when the school caught wind of his shirt, they ordered him to change shirts, or put it inside out. When the student refused, he was sent to the office, and then arrested.
Now, a journalist covering the story could be in trouble, too!
The television reporter for WOWK, Charlo Greene, has revealed that she was thrown out of the Logan County Courthouse and threatened with arrest before she could present a petition opposing an emergency gag order requested by prosecutors Christopher White and Sabrina Deskins.
Greene reported Monday that prosecutors hoped to bar Marcum, his father and his lawyer from speaking to the press, claiming the ban would serve Marcum's better interest. Greene said that Allen Lardieri, Marcum's father, found the claim ironic.
"It was for Jared's better interest is what I was told, which seems to be a bit odd to me," he said. "These are the same individuals that are trying to prosecute him, so as far as them knowing what is in his better interest, I have a lot of questions about that."
Before the television journalist could present her argument or even deliver her petition to the court clerk, she was thrown out of the Logan County Courthouse, twice, by a bailiff, who said the judge presiding over Jared's case, Eric O'Briant requested it.
She was then threatened with arrest on a charge of obstructing an officer, the same charge Marcum faces, Greene added.
Greene said that prosecutors and the arresting officer refused to answer WOWK's questions.

Temecula Constitution Class: In The Park
The final authority for understanding the Constitution, in my opinion, is the language used, and Madison's Notes on the Federal Convention. Although the Federalist Papers, letters between the founders, and the debates at the State Ratifying Conventions gives us numerous clues about what is meant by the text of the Constitution, they are not fully adequate. They are debates, and if not taken in the correct context, can lead to misinterpretations.
The class convenes tonight at the Duck Pond park in Temecula at 6:00 pm and lasts about an hour. Pocket Constitutions are handed out to all attendees, as well as a hand-out regarding tonight's topics.
Hope to see you there.

Senate Passes Immigration Bill. . . With 14 Republicans Voting For It
Senate Bill S.744, the Gang of Eight's Immigration Reform Bill, with all of its flaws, and its lack of border security, passed the U.S. Senate today, with no Democrats voting "No," and fourteen members of the GOP voting "Yes." Remember these names, for as a conservative these traitors to the sovereignty of the United States must be remembered. . . and removed.
The Republican Party Amnesty Supporters are: Marco Rubio of Florida, Lamar Alexander of Tennesee, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Jeffrey Chiesa of New Jersey, Susan Collins of Maine, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Dean Heller of Nevada, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Mark Kirk of Illinois, John McCain of Arizona.
And understand this bill has other bad things in it, aside from a refusal to secure the border.
For one, it worsens our economic situation, and our unemployment of Americans, by incentivizing employers to fire Americans and hire amnestied aliens.
The lack of eligibility for Obamacare will be short lived (we know liberals lie - see 1986 Amnesty deal and the lies), but while the aliens are not eligible for the government take-over of health care, employers will have to pay penalties for most employees who receive an ObamaCare healthcare “exchange” subsidy. This incentivizes them to hire amnestied immigrants so that the employer does not have to cough up the penalty.

Supreme Court Gay Marriage Ruling: The Stigmatization of America
Throughout the United States, gay marriage proponents are celebrating, proclaiming that the Supreme Court's rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8 has made the legalization of gay marriage the law of the land. They are now aiming at ensuring that gay couples may receive full marriage benefits in each of the 50 States. The problem is, the courts did not rule that gay marriage is constitutional, in the case of the Proposition 8 case. They ruled that the defenders of Proposition 8 had no standing.
As for DOMA, it was unconstitutional in the first place. Marriage is not an issue the federal government has the authority to be involved in. There is no place in the Constitution that gives the federal government authority over marriage, so in line with the Tenth Amendment, that would make it a State issue. My argument, however, has always been, "Why is government involved in marriage in the first place?"
A friend of mine told me that government involvement in marriage began in The South after the civil war to keep white women from marrying non-white men. Federal involvement began in the 1930s, when the necessity to decide what will happen to benefits like Social Security became an issue.
The questions over legal standing, or constitutional authorities, are not the reality of what these rulings are all about, however. As always, when it comes to the liberal left, things are not always what they seem. The claim that this is a civil rights issue, and that all the homosexual community wants is equal rights, is an illusion. Like everything else associated with the progressives of the Democrat Party, the aim is politically motivated. The goal is less about securing rights, and more about the elimination of all opposition. The call for gay marriage is about destroying marriage. The call for gay rights is about silencing the opposition. The call for homosexual marriage to be a constitutional right is all about the destruction of Christianity.
Supreme Court support is only a small step towards the ultimate goals of the homosexual agenda. I fully expect gay couples to begin visiting the more conservative churches, demanding that they marry them, and when these churches refuse to, for these couples to take a legal stance and sue the churches for denying them their constitutional right to be married. The IRS will begin to revoke the non-profit status of churches for daring to preach on homosexuality. The gay community calls marriage a right, so that they may use it as a weapon to deny the religious rights of those that dare to oppose them. They are commanding that the government recognize their sexual perversion as normal, for their "loving relationship" to be recognized by the law, tossing aside God, and setting in their sights anyone that dares to use religion as a tool to oppose them.
The language used by the majority opinion was not about the law, but about a political agenda. The liberal justices, and Justice Kennedy, ruled against traditional marriage not based on law, but on their rage against those that dare oppose gay marriage. With that kind of language, what the High Court did was demonize anyone that dares support traditional marriage. The liberal justices arrived at their decision not based on the rule of law, but because of what they think of opponents of homosexual marriage. Justice Scalia, in his dissenting opinion, recognized that the antics of the left in the Supreme Court makes the court no different from any venue in this country where people argue. Their hatred for conservatives drove their ruling. The ruling had nothing to do with the rule of law, and everything to do with hardball politics.
So what happens now? What is going to become of our society now that the homosexual agenda has obtained this legal victory? Yes, I know that they will now target religious institutions, and sue these institutions for daring to refuse to bend over backwards for the gay mob - but what will be the long term effects on our society?
Polygamy groups, and pedophiles, are already calling for similar treatment. "It's our turn," they are saying. Once a barrier is broken, and the envelope is pushed, it doesn't stop. Degradation always progresses, it gets worse, and once moral standards are removed, great civilizations collapse from within. Wrong becomes right until no standards exist at all, and then the society is unable to move forward - because it stands for nothing.
The gay agenda's culture war will now engage in a battle against those that support traditionalism, claiming their "hatred" is no different than Jim Crow laws. The opposition to homosexuality will be ridiculed into silence, and the courts will be utilized to force all of those "haters" into compliance. First, all churches will be forced to perform gay marriages. Then, they will be forced to hire gay Sunday School teachers to lead the children. Then, the Bible will be considered as being hate speech, and The Liberal Left will do what it can to drive the final nails into what they hope will be a dying church - just as Communist Russia did, just as Communist China did, and just as every other anti-God dictatorial tyranny in history.
According to Brian Camenker, what happens next is easy to predict, because the model has already established itself, in Massachusetts. Same-sex marriage becomes a "hammer" to force acceptance and normalization of homosexuality on everyone.
In California, and Massachusetts, teaching homosexuality in only the best light is now law, and we can expect similar laws to appear in the other States. Our children, despite our objections, will be taught to celebrate homosexuality. They will be exposed to the agenda through lectures, literature, and lesson plans. The children will be reprimanded if they dare think in opposition of the gay agenda. The teaching will dig all the way down to early elementary years, and the lessons will include discussions about gay sex, and intercourse aids such as sex toys.
Parents that dare speak out in disagreement will be treated with hostility.
The goal is to ensure the children let go of the traditional model of the family unit they may have been taught by their parents, thus destroying in our society the biblical definition of family. The children will be told that same-sex couples are just another kind of family, just like their own parents.
As pointed out by Mr. Camenker, in Massachusetts, when a parent of a kindergartner calmly refused to leave a school meeting unless officials agreed to notify him when discussing homosexuality or transgenderism with his son, the school had him arrested and jailed overnight.
When second graders at the same school were read a book about two men who fall in love and marry each other, ending with a picture of them kissing, parents Robb and Robin Wirthlin complained. They were told that the school had no obligation to notify them or allow them to opt their child out.
In 2007 a federal judge ruled that because of "gay marriage" in Massachusetts, parents have no rights regarding the teaching of homosexual relationships in schools. Once homosexuality clears the legality hurdle, the teaching establishment believes the school has a duty to normalize homosexual relationships to children; and schools have no obligation to notify parents or let them opt out their children. Acceptance of homosexuality will then become a matter of good citizenship, and dissent will become criminal.
The liberal left, behind the shield of the courts and political correctness, are telling you the schools have a duty to portray homosexual relationships as normal to children, despite what parents think or believe, and resistance is futile.
Brian Camenker wrote that after gay marriage was legalized in Massachusetts, school libraries radically changed. School libraries across the state, from elementary school to high school, now have expanding shelves of books to normalize homosexual behavior and "lifestyle" in the minds of kids, some of them quite explicit and even pornographic. Parents' complaints are ignored or met with hostility.
Kids are going to be taught that homosexuality is not a sexual behavior, but a great civil rights victory, and that someday people will look back and wonder how it was that anyone could think otherwise.
"Gay days" in schools are considered necessary to fight "intolerance" against same-sex relationships. Hundreds of high schools and middle schools across Massachusetts, according to Mr. Camenker, now hold "gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender days." Combating "homophobia" is a top priority, and the schools will not only "celebrate" homosexual marriage, but are already moving to promote other behaviors such as cross-dressing and transsexuality.
In Massachusetts, as a result of the indoctrination, parents are losing their kids to The State, and more children in Massachusetts are self-identifying as "gay."
The gay agenda, on the heels of their Supreme Court victory, will also utilize health services and hospitals to forward their agenda. In Massachusetts, nearly every major Boston hospital has become an active supporter of the radical homosexual movement. This includes marching in the "Gay Pride" parades, holding homosexual events, and putting on numerous "gay health"-related seminars.
In his article on the subject, Brian Camenker discussed a story about a major Boston hospital that threatened to fire a physician when he objected to its promotion of homosexual behavior. In 2011 a prominent physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston -- a large Harvard-affiliated hospital -- objected to the hospital being involved with "Gay Pride" activities. He also pointed out to his superiors the medical health risks of homosexuality, and said that he and others at the hospital considered homosexual acts to be unnatural and immoral. The hospital then threatened to fire him, telling him that same-sex marriage is "legal" and that his comments constituted "harassment and discrimination." After a "hearing" he was allowed to keep his job, but was told to apologize and to keep his opinions on these matters to himself.
Dissent in that case was frowned upon. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled as it has, any opinion that is in opposition to homosexuality will become criminal on a national level.
Businesses and insurance companies will also be forced to accept the homosexual agenda. Employees in businesses will be able to be fired for expressing religious objections to same-sex "marriage." In 2009, a deputy manager at a Brookstone store in Boston was fired from his job for mentioning his belief to another manager who had kept bringing up the subject with him that day. Brookstone's letter of termination (quoted on local TV news) said his comment was "inappropriate" because "in the State of Massachusetts, same-sex marriage is legal."
The wedding industry will be forced to comply on all levels. Wedding photographers, halls, caterers, etc., must accept same-sex marriage events or be held liable for discrimination.
In Massachusetts, businesses are often "tested" for tolerance by homosexual activists. Groups of homosexual activists go into restaurants or bars and publicly kiss and fondle each other to test whether the establishment demonstrates sufficient "equality" - now that homosexual marriage is "legal." Then they report "tolerance violators" to authorities, and businesses can be fined and punished. In fact, more and more overt displays of homosexual affection are seen in public places across the state to reinforce "marriage equality." This will become the norm nationwide as the gay agenda works to force all businesses into compliance with the acceptance of homosexuality.
The Massachusetts Bar Exam now tests lawyers on their knowledge of same-sex marriage "law." In 2007, a Boston man failed the Massachusetts bar exam because he refused to answer a question about homosexual marriage.
In many firms, lawyers in Massachusetts practicing family law must now attend seminars on homosexual "marriage." Issues regarding homosexual "families" are now firmly entrenched in the Massachusetts legal system.
Camenker goes on to write that in the year after the "gay marriage" ruling, the Massachusetts' adoption and foster care workers went through a massive indoctrination on "LGBT youth awareness." We will now see the same nationally, as well. The emphasis will be, as in Massachusetts, that those working with children must be trained that homosexuality (and transgenderism) are normal. At one session, the trainer announced that the new motto is, "To tolerate is an assault; you have to accept" this behavior.
Homosexual "married" couples in Massachusetts can demand to be allowed to adopt children - through any agency - including religious agencies. The same will happen nationwide.
As in Massachusetts, gay events will also become more prominent in the public square.
As we have seen in other places where gay marriage has been made legal, the real targets become religious institutions, and more specifically, anyone or anything associated with Christianity. Like Brian Camenker states happened in Massachusetts, nationally the trend will become the norm as Churches and religious people are targeted, demonized, harassed and threatened, with no punishment for the perpetrators.
If any of these religious institutions hold events promoting traditional beliefs, they will be targets of militant retribution by homosexual activists, and the gay activists will be treated with immunity from the law, as Cemenker states they are being treated in Massachusetts. Christians, however, have been, and will be, arrested and fined for daring to disagree with the homosexual agenda.
The following examples by Brian Camenker provide a chilling reality of what we will begin to see on a national level in the near future:
In 2012 someone threatened to burn down a Catholic Church in Acushnet which posted the words "Two men are friends, not spouses" on its outdoor sign. The church immediately received a flood of profane phone calls. At least one person threatened to burn down the church. An activist nailed a sign to church's fence saying, "Spread love not hate." Activists staged a protest outside of the Sunday Mass to intimidate parishioners with a sign saying, "It is legal for two men or women to be spouses." Neither the police nor the District Attorney pursued the threats as a hate crime or other offense.
In 2010 a Catholic elementary school balked at letting a lesbian couple enroll their son. As a result, the school was excoriated in the media and even by the local liberal state representative as "discriminatory." The privately-run Catholic Schools Foundation then threatened to withhold funding to the school unless it relented. The Archdiocese eventually backed down and the school reversed its policy.
In 2009 angry homosexual activists terrorized the Park Street Church in Boston while it was holding an ex-gay religious training session inside. They demonstrated next to the doors and windows with signs, screaming homosexual slogans. One of them held a bullhorn against the window outside the meeting, bellowing at the participants inside. Police did nothing to stop them, even though they were standing inside the historic cemetery adjacent to the church.
In 2006 dozens of screaming homosexual activists drowned out the speakers at an outdoor pro-marriage rally in Worcester organized by Catholic Vote, yelling "Bigots" and disgusting chants. Police did not stop them, even though the rally had a permit. When one of the rioters rushed the stage and started shouting, a rally organizer tried to lead her to the side. She subsequently sued that organizer for assault! He went through a four-day trial and was acquitted by a jury. But no charges were filed against any of the rioters.
In 2006 a group of homosexual activists with signs taunted and screamed at people entering and leaving the Tremont Temple Baptist Church in downtown Boston, which was holding a nationally televised pro-marriage event inside.
In 2005 hundreds of homosexual activists terrorized the Tremont Temple Baptist Church with makeshift coffins, screaming obscenities through loudspeakers as the national pro-family group Focus on the Family held a religious conference inside. The crowd was so threatening that attendees could not leave the church for the lunch break. The Boston riot police stood in front of the church doors, but did nothing to disperse the protesters who were also completely blocking the street.
Hardly a sign of freedom in the United States. The homosexual agenda has made it clear that they can disagree with you about what you believe, but if you dare disagree with them you will called names, stigmatized, and ridiculed into silence. With the recent Supreme Court decision, now they will also be able to use the law to force you into silence.
The gay agenda is oppressive, working to force its beliefs upon you whether you like it, or not. They have gained the support of activist judges, the media, the entertainment industry, the public schools system, the collegiate educational system, and liberal politicians. The gay agenda plans to use that support to impose their sexual behavior on the citizens of the United States, whether you like it, or not. The small percentage of Americans that call themselves gay are largely not in this fight in order to claim the right to marry. Homosexuality is not historically a monogamous community. The gay lobby is not in this fight so that they can win their civil rights, or because marriage is actually that important to them. Theirs is a battle to kill any opposition to their behavior, to force justification, and to destroy any and all opposition.
They wish to force upon America their agenda, to force you to accept it - otherwise, you will be silenced, and ultimately destroyed.

They have achieved through the Supreme Court the stigmatization of America, and disagreement is now criminal, and will be silence.
Our response?
Now is the time to really make noise.
This is not about whether or not a group should have rights, but whether or not they should be allowed to deny the rights of anyone who dares to oppose them. I, for one, don't plan to have my right to disagree with their agenda taken away from my under the force of law.
Whatever happened to the liberal claim: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?

Islamic Rioting Rocks China, Leaves 27 Dead
By Douglas V. Gibbs
Witnesses have reported armed police officers at road intersections, and anti-riot forces and paramilitary police patrolling the town where the violence has erupted armed with pistols and machine guns. Reports are being given anonymously, for fear of government reprisal.
Two months ago another bout of violence erupted in a town near Kashgar, elsewhere in Xinjiang, where 21 people were killed, including 15 police officers and community workers.
Uighur activist Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Germany-based World Uyghur Congress, said Wednesday's violence was triggered by Chinese government policies of "sustained repression and provocation" of the Uighur community.
The violence in China reminds one of rioting in 2009 that claimed the lives of almost 200. The recent rioting in China's western Xinjiang region near Afghanistan and Pakistan has killed 27 people, so far, and surprise, surprise, the area is in the heart of a large population of minority Muslim Uighurs. The violence has included the rioting Muslims attacking police and other people with knives and setting fire to police cars. Police stations, a government building and a construction site were also targeted in the violence.
Though the local authorities have provided no details of the cause of the unrest, it is safe to compare this violence to the story about the scorpion that stings his companion after assuring his companion he wouldn't. "Why did you sting me," asked the companion. "I am a scorpion," replied the other. "Stinging is what I do."

So why are the Muslims acting violently in China? They follow the violent teachings of the false prophet Muhammad, therefore, violence is what they do.
An excuse will eventually arise, but that is all it will be. . . an excuse.
News of the violence is not moving through the media, much, and even an official at the press office of the Xinjiang Public Security Bureau, the region's police, said she had only seen news of the violence on the Internet and had no other information.

Though news sources are reporting this, the primary information is feeding through the alternative media.
The Muslim Uighurs have a history of clashes with police, and this riot will likely be claimed to have been caused by Muslims feeling that police "mistreated" members of their community.

Murrieta: Recycling Market Development Zone
By Douglas V. Gibbs
"The fix is in," said my fellow local activist, Ernie White. In Temecula the vote came after only a short discussion. At least in Murrieta it took a few hours, and at least in Murrieta there was one voice of reason.
President Obama has stated that his administration is going to tackle Climate Change, with or without Congress. Obama's target is the coal industry, and like most liberals, he believes he can affect law through executive orders. The Obama administration has proven time and time again that they don't recognize the constitutional concept of "Separation of Powers," and like a king, believes he can legislate from his desk without Congress, if Congress doesn't act the way he demands them to.
As Obama takes the lead in radical environmentalism, at the lower levels, in local government, his minions are doing the same - and his minions, without realizing it, are often members of any party. They aren't democrats, or republicans, anymore. They are bureaucrats, acting in unison with the United Nations' Agenda 21 program, mesmerized by the propaganda, and they are implementing the U.N. plan for Sustainable Development without being told to, and without that treaty ever being ratified by Congress.
What is scary about it is that they have bought into the propaganda so much that they don't even realize that they are acting as minions for Obama, leftism, and ultimately, the radical socialists of the United Nations.
Last night, in Murrieta, as citizen after citizen stepped up to the dais to voice their disapproval over Murrieta joining the growing network of cities in a Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ), by the responses by the council members later in the evening, it was apparent they saw any concern by the public as being some kind of loony buy-in of some crazy conspiracy theory. Even Rick Gibbs, who, for a moment, sounded like he had a shred of sanity left in his indoctrinated brain, wound up siding with the sleazy environmental lawyers, and the worse than sleazy climate change nazis.
Harry Ramos put up a good fight, asking key questions, and carefully wording his concerns about the RMDZ's redistribution of recycling and waste. The title of the document on the screen was "Environmental Justice," a play on language that basically bullies any dissenters into a position of being racist, or unjust.
Kelly Bennett and Randon Lane were the worst in the matter. Randon Lane, a RINO if ever there was one, who heads up the local Republican Party, while also maintaining a position in WRCOG - something that is not a contradiction for establishment republicans, but is revolting to any conservative that recognizes the dangers of the U.N.'s plan to destroy national sovereignty through their totalitarian plan of sustainable development - said little, but refused to betray his fellow Agenda 21 conspirators. Bennett, when she spoke, revealed that she has bought into the propaganda lock, stock and barrel. Her questions to the staff that had researched all of the RMDZ business were leading, and made it obvious that the questions were merely a formality, for her. She was already on board the United Nations Sustainable Development train.
WRCOG is the Western Riverside Council of Governments. The organization is working closely with the U.S. Department of Energy to get member cities in compliance (they say "voluntarily") with a Clean Cities program that includes, since 1997, moving local jurisdictions towards acquiring more than 4,500 alternative fuel vehicles, and funding numerous Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Propane, and Hydrogen stations. WRCOG also promotes programs designed to reduce energy usage, reduce water usage, and reduce all other utility usage in the name of saving money and resources - these programs are aimed at businesses, forcing them to comply through extortion-like measures that includes a drastic rise in fees and taxes in the case of non-compliance. The organization also has programs labeled as being designed to create awareness, largely aimed at the children of the member communities.
Tyranny is always applied with the promise that it is good for the community. Darkness is always presented as light. And tyranny always goes after the children. Like Adolf Hitler said, during the rise of the Third Reich, ""When an opponent declares,'I will not come over to your side.' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already…What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'"
The RMDZ is designed to quell the individuality of the cities, and to move recycling and waste management away from the poorer areas (redistribution of fairness, hence the term "Environmental Justice"), as well as away from the rural areas. Climate Change is more than just a worry about temperature. The whole thing is about the belief that humans are parasites on this planet, and the goal is to move humans away from the rural areas, and pack them like sardines in the cities. In these population centers all services will be piled up as well, so that travel between the population centers is minimized, so as to reduce the impact on our "fragile" Earth (which is not as fragile as they wish to make it out to be). And in Murrieta, Randon Lane, Rick Gibbs, and Kelly Bennett have bought into the propaganda. Since there are five seats, having those three convinced to ride the environmental crazy train is all that's needed. Alan Long, who was absent, was not needed. Harry Ramos, the only Southwest Riverside council member of any city that I know of to do this, stood against the madness, but he is alone.
I am not a fatalist, however. In the historic words of the great philosopher, James T. Kirk, I submit to you the following wisdom: "I don't believe in no-win scenarios."
Unless there are factors that keep me from it, I plan to run for city council in 2014 (this will be my second run), hoping to relieve Mr. Ramos of some of his burden. If only one other person, who understands the dangers we face, one other person that embraces the Constitution, also gets on the council with me, to join Ramos, we will have a majority - and we will be able to opt out, as a city, of Agenda 21. It may be like trying to escape the mafia. . . but it can be done.

"The fix is in," said my fellow local activist, Ernie White. In Temecula the vote came after only a short discussion. At least in Murrieta it took a few hours, and at least in Murrieta there was one voice of reason.
President Obama has stated that his administration is going to tackle Climate Change, with or without Congress. Obama's target is the coal industry, and like most liberals, he believes he can affect law through executive orders. The Obama administration has proven time and time again that they don't recognize the constitutional concept of "Separation of Powers," and like a king, believes he can legislate from his desk without Congress, if Congress doesn't act the way he demands them to.
As Obama takes the lead in radical environmentalism, at the lower levels, in local government, his minions are doing the same - and his minions, without realizing it, are often members of any party. They aren't democrats, or republicans, anymore. They are bureaucrats, acting in unison with the United Nations' Agenda 21 program, mesmerized by the propaganda, and they are implementing the U.N. plan for Sustainable Development without being told to, and without that treaty ever being ratified by Congress.
What is scary about it is that they have bought into the propaganda so much that they don't even realize that they are acting as minions for Obama, leftism, and ultimately, the radical socialists of the United Nations.
Last night, in Murrieta, as citizen after citizen stepped up to the dais to voice their disapproval over Murrieta joining the growing network of cities in a Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ), by the responses by the council members later in the evening, it was apparent they saw any concern by the public as being some kind of loony buy-in of some crazy conspiracy theory. Even Rick Gibbs, who, for a moment, sounded like he had a shred of sanity left in his indoctrinated brain, wound up siding with the sleazy environmental lawyers, and the worse than sleazy climate change nazis.
Harry Ramos put up a good fight, asking key questions, and carefully wording his concerns about the RMDZ's redistribution of recycling and waste. The title of the document on the screen was "Environmental Justice," a play on language that basically bullies any dissenters into a position of being racist, or unjust.
Kelly Bennett and Randon Lane were the worst in the matter. Randon Lane, a RINO if ever there was one, who heads up the local Republican Party, while also maintaining a position in WRCOG - something that is not a contradiction for establishment republicans, but is revolting to any conservative that recognizes the dangers of the U.N.'s plan to destroy national sovereignty through their totalitarian plan of sustainable development - said little, but refused to betray his fellow Agenda 21 conspirators. Bennett, when she spoke, revealed that she has bought into the propaganda lock, stock and barrel. Her questions to the staff that had researched all of the RMDZ business were leading, and made it obvious that the questions were merely a formality, for her. She was already on board the United Nations Sustainable Development train.
WRCOG is the Western Riverside Council of Governments. The organization is working closely with the U.S. Department of Energy to get member cities in compliance (they say "voluntarily") with a Clean Cities program that includes, since 1997, moving local jurisdictions towards acquiring more than 4,500 alternative fuel vehicles, and funding numerous Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Propane, and Hydrogen stations. WRCOG also promotes programs designed to reduce energy usage, reduce water usage, and reduce all other utility usage in the name of saving money and resources - these programs are aimed at businesses, forcing them to comply through extortion-like measures that includes a drastic rise in fees and taxes in the case of non-compliance. The organization also has programs labeled as being designed to create awareness, largely aimed at the children of the member communities.
Tyranny is always applied with the promise that it is good for the community. Darkness is always presented as light. And tyranny always goes after the children. Like Adolf Hitler said, during the rise of the Third Reich, ""When an opponent declares,'I will not come over to your side.' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already…What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.'"
The RMDZ is designed to quell the individuality of the cities, and to move recycling and waste management away from the poorer areas (redistribution of fairness, hence the term "Environmental Justice"), as well as away from the rural areas. Climate Change is more than just a worry about temperature. The whole thing is about the belief that humans are parasites on this planet, and the goal is to move humans away from the rural areas, and pack them like sardines in the cities. In these population centers all services will be piled up as well, so that travel between the population centers is minimized, so as to reduce the impact on our "fragile" Earth (which is not as fragile as they wish to make it out to be). And in Murrieta, Randon Lane, Rick Gibbs, and Kelly Bennett have bought into the propaganda. Since there are five seats, having those three convinced to ride the environmental crazy train is all that's needed. Alan Long, who was absent, was not needed. Harry Ramos, the only Southwest Riverside council member of any city that I know of to do this, stood against the madness, but he is alone.

Small Earthquake Rocks State of Washington
A small 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit the State of Washington in the evening hours of Wednesday. No damage or injuries has been reported. A smaller 3.6 quake his Alaska shortly after. We'll ask JASmius, who lives near Seattle, and I am thinking near where the Washington quake centered, about the little rumbly-tumbly on Saturday's Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs during the "5 Big Stories" segment. I am sure he has a tale to tell.

Call To Action in Murrieta: Stop Recycling Market Development Zone!
Class, Friends, and Constitutionalists,
Today I received an important phone call regarding an important special session city council meeting in Murrieta on Wednesday at 5:00 pm. On June 26, 2013 at the Murrieta City Council Chambers off Jefferson and Kalmia, Agenda 21 is going to take front and center as the city council gathers to vote for the Regional resolution on Support of Riverside County’s Application for Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) - which stinks of Agenda 21, and the intrusive program's goal of what the globalist environmentalists call Sustainable Development. This plan being voted on is also connected to the bad-news Common Coreteaching regulations and CEQA.
This is a meeting we all need to attend, regardless of the city you are from. This is a CALL TO ACTION!
Join us, and be involved.
If for some reason you are unable to attend, you can still be involved. . . call or email each city council member.
If one city does not vote to accept the resolution then it fails in the County.
Blessings,
Douglas V. Gibbs
Constitution Radio, KCAA 1050 AM

Republican Principles and Amnesty
Whenever the GOP starts talking about moderation in regards to immigration, I remind myself how I have a lot of difficulty considering support for a political party willing to abandon its principles for votes.
Sometimes, the republicans disgust me.

Thomas Jefferson: Judiciary Supposed to be Weakest Branch because it is the most dangerous
"At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, 1823

Anti-Muslim Commenters Disappearing in the Night in Britain
Never mind the boogeyman taking children in the middle of the night, the reality in Britain is that police are arresting people in the middle of the night for making anti-Muslim comments on Twitter following the murder of a soldier by two Muslims in Woolwich, London. Three men have so far been taken into custody for using Twitter and Facebook to criticize Muslims.
One man that was taken was charged with “malicious communications” on Facebook, while the other two have been arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. The police are now arresting people based on mere speech in social media, a detective said in a statement to the press:
‘The men were arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. Our inquiries into these comments continue.
‘These comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to our community in Bristol.
British Muslims called for the arrests, saying that they fear a backlash against them following the death of Rigby.
The police and Muslim groups have said that there have been anti-Muslim episodes in many parts of the country, the most common involving derogatory messages on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
A number of arrests have been made, with criminal charges being leveled in some cases under laws against inciting racial or religious hatred, and Muslim community leaders have reported rising concern among the estimated 2.5 million Muslims in Britain.
"We began inquiries into the comments and at around 3.20am. Two men, aged 23 and 22, were detained at two addresses in Bristol.
“The men were arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of inciting racial or religious hatred. Our inquiries into these comments continue.”

Colorado Transgender Child
This is sick. We have definitely crossed over into Wonderland.
Colorado transgender first-grader Coy Mathis wins civil rights case, group says
The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled in favor of Coy Mathis, a transgender 6-year-old who was barred from using the girls' bathroom at her school in Fountain.
The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund plans to hold a news conference on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol at noon Monday to talk about the decision.
Coy was labeled male at birth, but has always known that she is a girl, which she has expressed since she was 18 months old. Since kindergarten, Coy had worn girls’ clothing to school. Her classmates and teachers at Eagleside Elementary School used female pronouns to refer to her, and she used the girls’ bathrooms, just like any other girl in her school. In mid-December 2012, the Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 informed Coy’s parents that Coy would be prevented from using the girls’ bathrooms after winter break. The District ordered Coy to use the boys’ bathroom, a staff bathroom, or the nurse’s bathroom.
Coy’s parents removed her from school and filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division on Coy’s behalf in February

Forget Illegal Immigration. . . It's an Invasion
Sometimes I see a commonality between illegal aliens and refugees. After all, in both cases the people are trying to escape from a country they don't like. Well, at least that is what we are supposed to believe. The problem with illegal aliens is that unlike refugees, they aren't looking for asylum, and they don't desire to become Americans. In the case of the Mexican illegal alien, they wish to change this country into an annex of Mexico, an extension of Mexico, they want to turn America into the country they claim to be escaping, seeking a better life.
If Mexico is so bad, why do the illegal aliens want to transform America into Mexico? And better yet, why not stay in Mexico, and work to change it for the better?
The conventional wisdom regarding the illegal immigration problem makes no sense because as a society we have fallen for the propaganda. We have fallen for the way the Left has framed the debate. The reality is they aren't coming here as immigrants to make America a better place. In fact, they are not even coming here as immigrants. They are coming here as invaders.
The founders were concerned about divided allegiance. Those that refuse to be fully American cannot be trusted with our liberty. Remember our history.
The United States had just won their independence from Great Britain. The British considered all of the supporters in the colonies of the independence movement to be traitors. The British did not even see the Americans as victors of the Revolutionary War. Britain had pretty much thrown their hands up, and pulled out of America because of the need to address tensions with France. The British attitude was that the American attempt at self-rule was going to be a dismal failure, and those loyal to the crown, and probably many others, under the weight of the massive failure of the American experiment, were going to be begging for the British to return some time in the future.
The War of 1812 was America's second revolution. Britain had returned to regain control of the petulant children of the colonies. At that point the British had not even recognized the United States as a sovereign nation. If the British troops, when they burned down the White House, had gotten their hands on President James Madison, they would have executed him for treason against the British Empire, because the British still considered the Americans to be British subjects.
Long before the War of 1812, as the American Revolution wound down, many of the British loyalists, or "tories," fled back to Britain. Some of them remained in The States. During the Revolution only a third of Americans supported the war effort. Another third were non-committed, and were willing to accept the resulting circumstances, no matter how the chips may fall. The final third were loyal to the British Crown, and viewed the American Revolution as an act of treason against King George. Often these people were English born, or the children of British citizens. It was the issue of divided loyalty, such as in the case of those that opposed the war, that the Founding Fathers were concerned about when debating the U.S. Constitution and determining who could be citizens, and what the parameters would be regarding that issue.
During the writing of the Constitution the debates in Philadelphia often centered on "allegiance." If this new federal government they were creating was going to work the participants at the highest levels of government needed to have a full allegiance to the United States. This was especially true when it came to the executive, which would be the President of the United States - a condition known as Natural Born Citizen.
British common law in this matter did not properly address these concerns. Section 212 of Vatell's Law of Nations, which had been around since 1658, and had already been largely adopted by the Americans as a fitting definition of Natural Born Citizen, fit nicely with the need to ensure the President had no divided loyalties. Benjamin Franklin felt so strongly about the definitions in Vatell's volumes that he purchased three copies of the book. He bought one for himself, and two for the Constitutional Convention. George Washington checked out Vatell's Law of Nations from the New York Public Library in 1789, and still maintained possession of the book at the time of his death.
With spies from Britain combing the nation, simply being born on American soil was not enough, as far as the founders were concerned. When it came to guarding against the leaders of this nation having divided loyalties, the definition of Natural Born Citizen had to be more stringent than the existing one under British common law. The President needed to be fully American, with American citizens as parents at the time of birth. That was the commonly accepted definition in America at the time of the writing of the Constitution, because it was necessary to protect against the president having a divided allegiance.
When it came to immigration, the same care was taken. Immigrants were expected to follow the protocol in place, and to come to America willing to let go of their allegiance to their original nation, and for them to be willing to give full allegiance to the United States. Assimilation was necessary, and being wholly American was the expectation.
The second largest source of revenue in Mexico is the money sent back by the illegals from the United States. In other words, by allowing illegal aliens to pour into the country, we are letting Mexico's poor come into our nation, take American jobs, and send American money away from our businesses and into the coffers of Mexico. Instead of that madness, why don't we stop the flow of illegal aliens by simply enforcing the law, and in turn help Mexico become a land of opportunity? Otherwise, the status quo will continue, and it will place our national sovereignty at risk.
Mexico is in trouble because of leftism. It is a great example of what happens when liberals run amok. Socialism in that country is why they are so poor. If Mexico is in such bad shape, the last thing that country needs if for massive amounts of their population to be coming here - and the last thing we need is for them to come here with the intention to make the United States more like Mexico.
Illegal aliens need to go home and make where they came from more like the U.S., basing their system on individualism, and a free market, capitalistic system.
Such an endeavor would need for the indoctrination to be broken, for the Mexican population to be retrained, and for free market capitalism to take root once again. The leftists in Mexico have taught the populace to frown upon such a concept. The Left wants to bring the U.S. down to Mexico's level, not to lift Mexico up to our level.
Besides, such an invasion plays into the democrat party's desire to increase the number of their voters, in an attempt to make the U.S. a single party system, while also playing into the Mexican Marxist's vision of taking back the American Southwest for Mexico.
Believe me, this is not about immigration. It is all about invasion.
