It’s Curtain Call for the BushBot Song and Saint Vitus Dance Routine of Pro-life Republicans Voting Pro-choice!
GuestAuthor

Posted under Chuck Baldwin & Conservatism & Pro-Life

Jay Madison

A speaker at the 2004 Republican National Convention[1] accurately diagnosed the problem with pro-life Republicans recently:

“I yearn for the day,” said the former Democratic senator, “when somebody is asked what their position is on abortion, they just look right at the person who asked them and said, ‘Abortion is an abomination in the eyes of God, and there’s nothing in the United States Constitution that protects it,’ and not just dance around, tiptoe around the issue.” [2]

Zell Miller served as a former Marine, history professor, governor of Georgia and U.S. Senator. His statement is as much of a public service as any aspect of his distinguished public career. But pro-life minds are made up; and they do not want to be confused with the facts! With feet planted firmly in mid-air, they do their BushBot[3] song and Saint Vitus Dance routine around the issue every time. Their constitution is the Supreme Court, not the Supreme Law of the land.[4] Problem recognition is a vital step toward a solution. Pro-lifers voting for McCain prove they are an intractable part of this deadly problem.[5]

Citizens claiming to be pro-life must avoid voting for nearly all Republicans and Democrats. They have to withhold their vote from these political power addicts to get their undivided attention. Red Phillips made a comment that is applicable to this issue: “….the current ‘conservative’ movement is worthless, or worse yet, counterproductive.” [6] Politically speaking, the current pro-life movement is worthless, or worse yet, counterproductive. Outside the political arena, they are pro-life! Inside that arena, overcrowded with professional liars, they are utterly clueless. Their willful ignorance and appalling naïveté are irresistible temptations for the bloodlust of gladiatorial politicians. They beckon advocates for life into the arena for vital election assistance. Once elected, they thrust them through the heart for the sole pleasure of watching life drain from their disbelieving eyes. Pro-liars can easily vote Republican or Democrat. Pro-life voters vote for pro-murder politicians nearly every time they vote Republican. The Republican Party is pro-life in platform only. In extremely rare instances, the pro-life platform planks evolve into a real live elected official. But Republicans are, for the most part, rotten to their GOP core with truth decay.

Reed R. Heustis, Jr., an attorney in California, acknowledged the obvious in Pro-Life Issue at Root of all Others.[7]The concept was renounced by Republican and Democrat politicians after 1973. Heustis attempted to revive it: “Just realize that if Americans cannot trust the government to protect the basic Right to Life, especially for the most weak and vulnerable members of our society, then surely they will not be able to trust the government to abide by the principles of your pet issue.” A few years later, Mike Tuggle revealed that pro-life Republicans failed to heed those words.

Mike Tuggle’s [editor’s note: a.k.a Harrison Bergeron] article on March 6th 2008 “States’ Rights: The only hope for the unborn,”[8] posted at Conservative Heritage Times under Judicial Activism & Pro-Life, is required reading for anyone claiming to be pro-life; because the vast majority of pro-liars promote and vote for pro-murder politicians! They are either born stupid or paid to play deadly stupid. American Right to Life, mentioned by Mike Tuggle, exposed NRLC[9] and James Dobson’s[10] deadly stupidity. However, A.R.L.’s loose cannon is probably more attributable to ignorance about Ron Paul than deadly stupidity. Nevertheless, friendly fire is just as deadly as enemy fire. Hopefully, A.R.L. will wise-up and not become part of the deadly problem they seek to solve. Mike Tuggle’s article remains relevant to Chuck Baldwin’s campaign for President.[11] Baldwin is championing Paul’s proposed legislation for life.[12]

There is a saying that insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome.[13] That’s typical of the vast majority of pro-lie voters. Two articles substantiate that fact: “Republicans Offer the Unborn 32 More Years of Roe v. Wade”[14] and an article by the Republican National Coalition for Life, “31 Years Since Roe And Counting” [15] Former President Ronald Reagan is the poster child of pro-lie politics. He wrote “Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation,” published in Human Life Review (Spring, 1983); but he appointed Sandra Day O’Connor[16] to the U.S. Supreme Court. If most Christians say one thing while doing another, why shouldn’t he? Jerry Falwell[17] was very alarmed[18] by Reagan’s intention to appoint O’Connor and voiced his concern to Reagan personally. Reagan is reported to have replied, “Trust my judgment on this one.”[19] You can only trust the Republicans to be Republicans. They run on a good platform to get elected, and then run away from it in office. Like some political transvestite trapped in a Republican body, they are suddenly overcome with a feverish loss of all inhibition and don Democrat garb to satiate their depraved cravings to look fashionably bipartisan. Ron Paul, and a few more like him are all that remain fixed in the appropriate attire and desire to be bound by the Constitution!

America is immersed in a Holocaust that requires serious action, not perpetual hypocrisy and deadly stupidity. There is another inadequacy treasured by pro-liars. They instinctively gravitate toward anyone who can’t do simple political arithmetic. They understand the difference between $67 and $51 change due them after tendering a $100 bill; but they do not know the difference between a two-thirds majority required for Congress to send an Amendment to the states for ratification by a minimum of three-fourths, and a simple majority required to pass jurisdiction stripping legislation with the President’s signature. And they profess not to understand that any amendment would be interpreted through Section 1 the 14th Amendment, which allows federal judges to misapply or disregard the Constitution as they see fit.[20] They fail to realize that federal courts need less jurisdiction,[21] not more words to misconstrue. They deny that appointment[22] has been as gross a failure as their quixotic quest for a pro-life amendment. It’s all a political game to them; because the lives they lose are not their own. In the mean time, the body count soars into the untold millions.

The United States of America is not a United STATE of America: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!”[23] It was designed to be a federal republic governed by a written Constitution. Listen to the Honorable Ron Paul[24] of Texas Before The Us House Of Representatives on November 20, 2004, “Where To From Here?”[25]

“The 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling caused great harm in two distinct ways. First, it legalized abortion at any stage, establishing clearly that the Supreme Court and the government condoned the cheapening of human life. Second, it firmly placed this crucial issue in the hands of the federal courts and national government. The federalization of abortion was endorsed even by those who opposed abortion. Instead of looking for state-by-state solutions and limiting federal court jurisdiction, those anxious to protect life came to rely on federal laws, eroding the constitutional process. The authors of the Constitution intended for criminal matters and acts of violence (except for a few rare exceptions) to be dealt with at the state level. Now, however, conservatives as well as liberals find it acceptable to nationalize issues such as abortion, marriage, prayer, and personal sexual matters– with more federal legislation offered as the only solution. This trend of transferring power from the states to the federal government compounds our problems– for when we lose, it affects all 50 states, and overriding Congress or the Supreme Court becomes far more difficult than dealing with a single state.”

As the previously referenced articles plainly demonstrate, pro-liars have been losing for decades, by doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome. Their motto is “We must do something, even if it’s terribly wrong!” They believe that working hard is the same as working smart. They would be working hard and smart, if their own life was on the line!

One of the most idiotic babblings ever to exit the foul mouth of a pro-lie fool is that enforced abortion laws in one state would only drive murderers across state lines to commit their criminal acts. This pathetic excuse is their major objection to jurisdiction stripping legislation. Their perfect is clearly the enemy of the good. [26]Thirty states have unenforced abortion laws.[27] But these profound idiots want abortion outlawed in all states or in none at all! Are they really sincere about a pro-life amendment, when their same argument would drive the abortion business to Canada and Mexico? How many of these professional fools are trying to repeal the fetal homicide laws in thirty-six states;[28] because there is no amendment enforcing those laws on the nation?

Incrementalism is the gospel of pro-life, according to their organizational commandments. And it has been good news to everyone but the aborted; because incrementalism includes issues like pro-life license plates; informing mothers that the child they are about to murder in their body is really a child; and the obsession over partial-birth murder that has consumed $250 million[29] without saving a single life![30]

The man acknowledging that multi-million dollar fact is Brian Rohrbough, whose son, Daniel, was aborted in the massacre at Columbine High School. That man has intimate experience with the agonizing consequences of murder. “The Lord hates hands that shed innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:16-19)!

$250 million can buy train loads of stupidity (1 Timothy 6:10) for maintaining Pro-Lie cottage industries[31] having a vested interest in keeping murderers in business.[32] This fact exonerates most pro-life voters misled by paid Republican propagandists. But deadly ignorance exacts the same price as deadly stupidity. Ignorance can be cured; but betrayal, destined for Dante’s Ninth Circle, has no cure in eternity. However, its influence can be greatly diminished by knowledge. James Madison put it this way: “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” Mike Tuggle’s article is empowering knowledge for those who were played for a fool, by those making a living on the fact that a fool and his money are soon parted!

In the comment section below Mike Tuggle’s article, roho makes a razor sharp point: “….change must begin at the bottom moving towards the top. Depending on Leviathan to change anything simply empowers it, and tells the creature which carrots to dangle in front of the citizen for manipulation.” Republican and Democrat politicians are not going to do this for the electorate. The mainstream media and its alternative conservative wannabe will not do it. Public temples of pagan indoctrination, commonly called schools, will oppose it.[33] Most preachers are too busy trying to be a Rick Warren clone to do it.[34] Preachers, like Rick Warren, are the root cause of unrestrained evil in America. Pilate asked Jesus Christ, “What is truth (John 18:38),” proving he couldn’t recognize it personified and staring him in the face. Warren looks at McCain, Obama, and Clinton, and remains oblivious to those personifications of evil staring him in the face.

The ability to recognize phony pro-life voting records and scorecards must be part of that change for the better. Typical voter scorecards lead voters to believe that a candidate is 90% or better, when the top of these pro-lie organizational scales end at the half-way mark on a standard pro-life scale. On a standard scale from 0 – 10, their phony scale ends at 5; and they claim that their “5” is a “10.” Democrats are accurately scored at the bottom of their scale; but Republicans are so close to the Democrats that it takes magnification to see the minute difference. A ten would be someone who advocated executive review, the Tenth Amendment and Article 3, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Pro-lie organizations refuse to acknowledge these Constitutional options; because it exposes their candidates extremely close proximity to the Democrats. So, when the NRLC represents someone being 100%, it’s meaningless to those about to be slaughtered.

Another change that must occur is the recognition that this whole battle over life and death is rooted in the false doctrine of incorporation v. the sound doctrine of interposition.[35] Pro-liars swallow hook, line, sinker, rod, and the whole boatload of Republican lies fed from the docket of deviant precedent based in the false doctrine of incorporation. They swallow this whole morass in one ravenous gulp without the slightest sign of sickness. Their tolerance for deadly dictates defies conscionable comprehension!

The obsolete 14th Amendment[36] and its brood of black-robbed vipers, slithering through its emanating penumbras,[37] spitting poisonous precedent,[38] must be ignored, until it is repealed. The Fifth and Tenth Amendment are THE Pro-Life Amendments![39] They do not need to be argued in a den of iniquity, euphemistically called a court. They only need to be invoked against all Federal infringement! The wicked, ineffectual, effeminate,[40] elected Republican cowards refuse to act; because their white sepulcher (Matthew 23:27) churches were vomited out of God’s mouth (Revelation 3:16). Atheists, ACLU, agnostics, and secular humanists are not the problem. They don’t have the power or numbers to be a problem. The problem has always been professing Christians derelict in their duty to obey God and abide by the Constitution. How this emasculated progeny sprang from the stout Christian loins of the American Founders is a mystery that only a study of genetic mutation could solve.

Susan Shelley, an author, performed a public service by exposing the incorporation doctrine in a manner that allows all to easily see its convoluted path, from its relatively recent spontaneous generation[41] to the very recent past: “How the First Amendment Came to Protect Topless Dancing: A History of the Incorporation of the Bill of Rights into the Fourteenth Amendment, Why It’s a Problem, and How to Fix It.”[42] The bibliography has additional reading that most wouldn’t undertake. The title provokes laughter, no point in pretending otherwise. It’s as surrealistic as it is hilarious – comedy and tragedy packaged in one title. It’s hard to imagine Chief Justice William Rehnquist sitting in the Supreme Court, not some roadside bar, and soberly stating with a somber face, “Nude dancing of the kind sought to be performed here is expressive conduct within the outer perimeters of the First Amendment.” Well…the Kitty Kat dancers weren’t the only ones without any clothes in this one. The Emperor, Rehnquist, had no clothes, either. Kitty Kat dancers…. Try getting some sailors to say all that with a somber face. Follow that up with the “argument” from Justice Byron White: “Nude dancing conveys an erotic message…the message would be muted if the dancers wore pasties and G-strings.” Leno and Letterman couldn’t do it without cracking-up; and they are professionally conditioned to nonsense. It would have been more respectable for the judges to have remained silent and signaled thumbs up or down. Doubtful that could have been done seriously, especially with all of them signaling thumbs up, like a bunch of sailors on shore leave after six months at sea. That’s just one example from the cast of black-robbed characters playing philosopher-kings in the Supreme Theater of the Absurd Court. The only stripping going on should be their jurisdiction to hear cases they lack competence to decide, which would mean all but original jurisdiction cases.

Why do Christians worship and obey this Court? Michael Stokes Paulsen, Distinguished University Chair and Professor of Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure, University of St. Thomas School of Law, correctly answers that question:[43]

“The decision in Casey, reaffirming Roe and itself reaffirmed and extended in Carhart, in my view exposes the Supreme Court, as currently constituted, as a lawless, rogue institution capable of the most monstrous of injustices in the name of law, with a smugness and arrogance worthy of the worst totalitarian dictatorships of all time. The Court, as it stands today, has, with its abortion decisions, forfeited its legal and moral legitimacy as an institution. It has forfeited its claimed authority to speak for the Constitution. It has forfeited its entitlement to have its decisions respected, and followed, by the other branches of government, by the states, and by the People. The enthusiasm of liberal intelligentsia for the Court’s abortion decisions, the sycophancy of the law professorate, of the legal profession, and of our elected officials, and the docility of the American people with respect to our lawless, authoritarian Court rivals the pliancy of the most cowardly, servile peoples toward ruinous, brutal, anti-democratic regimes throughout world history. We suffer people to commit despicable acts of private violence and we welcome – some of us revere – a regime that destroys popular government for the sake of perverted, Orwellian notions of “liberty.” After a twentieth century that saw some of the worst barbarisms and atrocities ever committed by humankind, at a time when humankind supposedly had progressed to more enlightened states, we still have not learned. The lesson of the Holocaust – “Never Forget” – is lost. We fail to recognize the amazing capacity of human beings to commit unthinkable, barbaric evil, and of others to tolerate it. We remember and are aghast at the atrocities of others, committed in the past, or in distant lands today. But we do not even recognize the similar atrocities that we ourselves commit, and tolerate, today.”

That’s what Christians idolize every time they vote for 99% of all Republicans and Democrats. Those politicians represent their idolatry before Almighty God. That worship is in flagrant opposition to God’s ordinance of government in Romans 13, expressed in the U.S. Constitution and to Exodus 20:3. The religious Republican Reich ignores the Founders’ self-evident truths, while they promote the self-evident lies of the evil politicians they support with money and votes. The repetition of a lie by politically conservative Christian leaders does not transform a lie into truth today, anymore than it did in Nazi Germany.[44] Reverend Mark H. Creech corrected two of his hog-jowled Southern Baptist brothers, Richard Land and Al Mohler, over their chastisement of Chief Justice Roy Moore’s constitutional stand several years ago.[45] That sort of public rebuke needs to occur on a frequent basis, until Land and Mohler confine their outbursts to issues that don’t reveal their inexcusable ignorance. If Southern Baptists are determined to have a political Pontiff, they need to excommunicate that notorious duo and elevate kosher-minded Creech to their position.

Finally, pro-lifers should be able to recognize pro-life legislation and pro-life legislators. Every pro-life voter in Georgia should know something about Representative Bobby Franklin.[46] Folk way across Georgia should have heard of that pro-life legislator. All states within a rebel’s yell from Georgia should hear Bobby Franklin. YouTube amplifies this rebel’s yell throughout the Confederacy unto the uttermost ends of the Union: “Georgia Rep. Bobby Franklin on Life (Part 1).”[47]

Another Franklin bill, HB 916, declares that Georgia will follow their Constitution and the United States Constitution, not the law-breaking opinions of the reprobate U.S. Supreme Court![48] That bill is constitutionally legitimate and an education in moral, legal and conscionable legitimacy!

Pro-liars are addicted to the GOP. They can beak the addiction and become pro-lifers, by just saying no to McCain, while voting for Chuck Baldwin. Listen to Judy Brown, President of American Life League: “It’s time to agree that we will never participate in any political or legislative campaign that in any way emphasizes what is politically attainable rather than what is morally correct.”[49] Duty is ours; the results belong to God:[50]

“Wake up Christians. God’s Church, whatever your tradition, does not need a Dale Carnegie course on how to “Win Friends and Influence People.” The Church needs to boldly proclaim the Gospel, whatever the cost. The Church needs believers who are living holy lives. (I’m preaching to myself here, too.) If we do that, God will take care of His Church and the membership rolls, don’t you worry. And maybe the Church will start elevating the culture once again, instead of the culture dragging down the Church.”

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith”[51]

If the Ron Paul campaign taught us anything, it’s that it’s possible for such seeming different and disparate groups can come together for common national cause and a common national platform that Paul ran on. Why not keep that unity for the future with a new national party instead being walled off in our non-major party ghettos? Everyone talks about forming a new party. They do all the time. But now the possibility truly exists among those who wish to see the U.S. reduce its empire abroad and at home and restore the values the country was founded on and restore Constitutional government to join a party that truly reflects its views instead of being unhappy members of the major parties always voting for the lesser of two evils.

 

[12] http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Chuck_Baldwin_Abortion.htm He emphasized support for Ron Paul’s “Sanctity of Life Act” (H.R. 2597) that declares human life “shall be deemed to exist from conception” and bars the Supreme Court from ruling on the matter. Once legally defined as a person, insisted Baldwin, every infant in the womb would thereby be guaranteed the right to life–under the U.S. Constitution. He thundered, “If the Republican Party had been serious about life, it could have already ended legal abortion in America.” http://nordskogpublishing.com/publisherscorner/TNA%232402_Cover_Story.pdf

I remember well how astonished we were as conservatives to hear Reagan play the sexist/feminist politics game by saying, before he named O’Connor, that he was going to name a woman to the Supreme Court. So, supposedly conservative Republican Presidents selling-out their conservative supporters is not, alas, a new thing.

 

[17] http://etherzone.com/2005/phill102005.shtml What I find especially demoralizing is that over the past few decades, when resistance was not at all futile, self-described Christians refused to lift a finger and, at the command of brothers Falwell and Robertson, subsidized the Republican Party, supported Israel’s self-destructive policies, sent their children to public schools to be corrupted…. In the past, the minority of devout Christians (the truly devout are always a minority) was able to raise the level of the whole. Now the whole is bringing down the “devout.” Or maybe the standard for “devout” is not what it used to be.”

GRAGLIA – Hope once lay in the making of new appointments, but the failure of ten consecutive appointments by four Republican Presidents to change the direction established by the Warren Court has shown this hope, too, to be unreliable. Rule by judges can certainly be solved by abolishing judicial review, but the real problem resides less in judicial review as such than in the Court’s reading of the Fourteenth Amendment as a text without any definite meaning. That problem could be solved either by returning the Fourteenth Amendment to its original meaning or by giving it any definite meaning, thus making it a judicially enforceable rule. WILLIAM J. BENNETT – Charles Kesler, a scholar of the founding, recently quipped that the worst place to study the Constitution these days is in law school. It is more than a quip: law schools teach constitutional analysis, by which is meant what sitting Supreme Court Justices have written about the Constitution. The Federalist Papers, the debates at the real and original Constitutional Convention, other documents from the era of the founding—these are not seriously studied. No wonder, then, that our lawyers and judges—ignorant of what Jay, Madison, and Hamilton said, wrote, and meant—are under the impression that constitutional law changes with the times and the persons empowered to pronounce on it. No wonder, too, that Supreme Court Justices can quite preposterously imagine a basis in constitutional law for asserting that, for example, “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” =====That sentence is constitutional law, written by three sitting Justices, two appointed by President Ronald Reagan, one appointed by President George H.W. Bush. And that sentence, from Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), has now evolved from the aberration it seemed when first uttered into an ingrained element of our jurisprudence, its bedrock authority invoked just this past term to buttress the majority opinion in Lawrence v. Texas.======All this needs to be kept in mind when we hear or read about the damage done by the Warren Court. It especially needs to be kept in mind when we hear liberals complaining about today’s “Republican” or “conservative” Court. Yes, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush appointees make up seven of the nine Justices on the Court; but we have to thank this same Court for finding unconstitutional a Nebraska ban on partial-birth abortion, for approving racial preferences in a public-university law school, and for discovering in Lawrence v. Texas a constitutional right to sodomy. ========The problem may reside in only two or three of those seven appointees. But the solution, clearly, does not rest only in electing Presidents or congressmen of one party as opposed to another. Altogether, such attempts to restrain the “imperial judiciary” have not fared well in the recent past and cannot be counted on to do better in the future. No doubt that is why, over the past two years, many in the conservative movement—or “family movement,” as some have taken to calling it—have been thinking about a constitutional amendment to preserve the concept of marriage as the union of a man and a woman; their fears have become all the more urgent in light of the prospect, now brought closer by Lawrence v. Texas, that the judiciary will next find a constitutional right to gay marriage.

I am also the prime sponsor of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn. I have also authored H.R. 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.” Many talk about being pro-life.

Under the pressure brought by our full-page open letters, other major pro-life leaders and organizations have been making the same concession. As reported in WND by Bob Unruh (War of words targets James Dobson , June 7, 2007), there is “the fact that the legal [PBA] ruling, itself, does not and cannot be used to proscribe [prohibit] a single abortion.”

Posted: February 17, 2007. Many leading pro-life groups, especially the Vitae Caring Foundation, have conducted extensive research that has consistently demonstrated the prevalence of this condition among self-described pro-choicers who recognize the humanity of the pre-born child in the womb, but nonetheless vote pro-abortion virtually without fail. ====In spite of this wealth of psychological knowledge, the recent endorsement of former Gov. Mitt Romney for president by James Bopp Jr. – best known for his work as general counsel of the National Right to Life Committee, or NRLC – may require a new term altogether. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=40000 in 2002 Planned Parenthood posed the following question to candidate Romney in its campaign questionnaire: “Do you support the substance of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade?” Romney very simply and unequivocally replied, “Yes.”

The seeds of this doctrine were introduced by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and 1799. Calhoun first advanced it anonymously, in the South Carolina Exposition and Protest, penned during the summer and fall of 1828 for a committee of the South Carolina legislature. It is Calhoun’s articulation and development of the doctrine of interposition or nullification for which he was, and is, so well known. http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo48.html From 1789 until 1865 the citizens of all states, North and South, made periodic use of the principles of nullification, interposition, and even the threat of secession, to protect themselves from federal judicial tyranny (and federal tyranny in general). They invoked the Jeffersonian judicial philosophy to oppose protectionist tariffs, military conscription, the War of 1812, the Fugitive Slave Act, the Bank of the United States, trade embargos, and other unconstitutional usurpations (See James J. Kilpatrick, The Sovereign States: Notes of a Citizen of Virginia). http://www.lewrockwell.com/woods/woods44.html “The distinction so often drawn between Jefferson’s strident and Madison’s moderate tone seems strained; there is no difference between ‘null, void, and of no force or effect’ and ‘invalidity,’ between ‘nullifying’ a statute and ‘interpos[ing}' to prevent its enforcement." http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=27906 Vindiciae, therefore, does not argue for anarchy. It recommends resistance to tyranny based upon the authority of lower officers of the state. As such, it should be considered an argument for a conservative revolution. At the same time, it brought the contract theory into play against the claims of divine right absolutism. In this way it contributed to later contract theory.

 

http://www.constitution.org/14ll/no14th.htm There is No “Fourteenth Amendment”!

By David Lawrence, U.S. News & World Report, September 27, 1957

 

[37] http://www.nationalreview.com/levin/levin200503140754.asp In order to strike down the Connecticut law prohibiting the sale of contraceptives, Douglas wrote that “specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance.”====Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t know what emanations from penumbras are. Young lawyers across America had to pull out their dictionaries when reading Griswold for the first time. A penumbra is an astronomical term describing the partial shadow in an eclipse or the edge of a sunspot — and it is another way to describe something unclear or uncertain. “Emanation” is a scientific term for gas made from radioactive decay — it also means “an emission.”

 

[38] http://www.constitution.org/col/0610staredrift.htm How stare decisis Subverts the Law http://www.theamericanview.com/index.php?id=423 The point is, there are occasions when old precedent is not only non-binding, but to follow it would be stupid, illegal and unconstitutional, and just plain un-Godly.

 

[39] http://www.visionforumministries.org/issues/life/the_first_100_ways.aspx In many states, statutes prohibiting abortion remain unrepealed and available to local prosecutors to bring criminal actions against abortion providers. While such laws may very well provide for an exception to protect the life of the mother, they afford statutory authority to a prosecutor who takes seriously his duty to “support” the Constitution’s high regard for the right to life. The problem today is that state prosecutors assume that their duty to support the Constitution means obedience to Supreme Court opinions, even when they were never parties to the cases. Rightfully understood, their duty is to interpose their office between Roe v. Wade, a constitutionally erroneous opinion, and the people whose rights they are duty bound to protect. http://media.peroutka2004.com/print/stw_butcher.pdf While each branch takes its own independent oath to defend the Constitution (which gives the Executive the right to refuse to enforce a Court order), “The right to challenge any usurpation of power on the part of the Supreme Court must by lack of alternative, if for no

other reason, devolve upon the States.”13 What does the Tenth Amendment mean if not that a State can interpose itself as a legitimate determiner of the terms of the Constitution to which it is a consenting party? Once a contract is formed, both parties have the right to ensure the proper enforcement of the terms of the contract and are not bound by the illegitimate breaches of that contract, absent a waiver. http://www.ccomcor.org:80/stateinterposition.htm You see the power of the state to interpose on behalf of its people in the name of this Constitution is a power that has been neglected not because it isn’t in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution but because they would rather have you not know that they have that duty. Life is much easier to say “the Supreme Court has spoken. We must obey.”

Creech, September 2, 2003, AgapePress Drs. Land and Mohler accuse Judge Moore of disobeying the rule of law. In defense of Land’s arguments against Moore, Mohler writes in a Baptist Press editorial that Land has the rule of law on his side. He adds: “Christians cannot turn to the courts when we want rescue and then disobey the same courts when we lose.” But such arguments fail to grasp the scope of the situation. It is Judge Moore who is following the rule of law and Judge Myron Thompson’s order that violates it. What the First Amendment is actually saying is that Congress cannot even address the issue of establishment. There can be no law at the federal level dealing with the issue of establishment, because the Constitution explicitly forbids it. Moreover, the Tenth Amendment says, “The powers not relegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Adding the First and Tenth Amendments together, it then becomes clear that the power to address issues of how religion is to be expressed at the level of state government is “reserved to the states respectively,” or the people of the states.

    In May of 2007, I was a serious fan of “Human Events”(After all Ronald Reagan was also a fan)…….And then the survey of the top 10 conservative issues for 2008 surfaced.(Voters had 28 to choose from).

    1. Illegal Immigration…………………………………86%.

    2. War on terror………………………………………..80%.

    3. Federal Spending…………………………………..65%.

    4. Supreme Court and Judicial Appointments…64%.

    5. Flat/Tax Tax cuts……………………………………61%.

    6. Size of Government………………………………..61%.

    7. Iraq……………………………………………………..55%.

    8. Social Security………………………………………..45%.

    9. Intitlement Programs………………………………38%.

    0. Abortion…………………………………………………36%.

    http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20700&keywords=top+10&conservativeissues#continuea.

    Noticing that they had spun-off “Townhall.com” which was their little offspring, I had to ask, “What kind of conservatives are these people?”

    I then noticed after the survey, the “Focus” was still on #2 and #7. The face of conservatism had changed. And throughout the GOP Primaries, #2, #7, and #4 seamed to be the only issues of importance. I then understood that NEOCONSERVATISM is NONCONSERVATISM. And the GOP(Gutted Our Principles) can color me gone!…………………Run Chuck Run!
