Cops called on 13-year-olds for
selling cupcakes: "A
politician in a New York suburb called police on two 13-year-old boys for selling
cupcakes and other baked goods without a permit. ...the boys, Andrew DeMarchis
and Kevin Graff, had a brisk business selling cupcakes, cookies, brownies and
Rice Krispie treats for $1 each in a Chappaqua park.... 'I am shocked and sad
for the boys. It was such a great idea, and they worked hard at it,' [said]
Laura Graff, Kevin's mother."
How and Why the Nazis Went Green:
"Their Aryan biology/ecology thus created a government controlled ‘local only’
economy that was doomed to fail. ...the Nazi quest for Lebensraum in the East
was an early pioneering attempt at what is today called the Green Economy.
It was a backward eco-imperial plan of Aryan sustainable development,
all at the expense of Jews and Slavs. ...an Aryan environmentalism rooted in
a romantic, evolutionary philosophy of man and nature."

Why Europeans Can't Throw a Tea
Party: "Tea partiers
don't get much positive press here in Europe. They are generally portrayed either
as a gaggle of stump-toothed Appalachian mountain men or as a KKK lynch-mob.
A typical column in Britain's Guardian newspaper last month described
them as 'a movement most of whose emergent stars would appear to be better suited
to prison or lunatic asylums.' The Guardian is a left-of-center newspaper. But
our Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, has also felt it necessary to
signal his disapprobation....'We Europeans, they will say, are more balanced.'
"Lurking
behind the Euro-sophism is an uneasy sense that, if there were open primaries
on this side of the Atlantic, voters might start demanding all sorts of unreasonable
things—might, in other words, start behaving like tea partiers....
"[America's]
primaries ensure that legislatures remain diverse, independent of the executive,
and responsive to public opinion....You don't know how lucky you are to have
them, my friends."

'Lockdown' searches of students
challenged as illegal:
"A lawsuit is being filed against a Missouri school district after officials
there announced a 'lockdown,' ordered students to leave their classrooms without
their backpacks and then had sheriff's officers search personal possessions
while the students were detained.... 'The lesson being imparted – one that goes
against every fundamental principle this country was founded upon – is that
we have no rights at all against the state or the police.' The complaint
explains that such mass searches of students and their possessions violate
the United States and Missouri Constitutions."

ObamaCare for the Internet:
"With housing, automakers, banking, student loans, and health care checked off
the list, next on Team Obama's agenda is the National Broadband Plan, better
known as Net Neutrality. Quite simply, it is a plan allowing the federal government
to take over the nation's telecommunication platform, giving the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) centralized control of the internet. The fact that the
FCC has no legal authority to regulate internet providers has not deterred administration
efforts to regulate all electronic speech, news, and information."

Rule by Decree:
"America’s economic strength has always depended upon a healthy legal climate
for business activity — an environment in which rights and obligations are legally

rights, multiculturalism....The Islamists...hang gays... and repress minorities
and freedom of expression. This seeming contrast baffles many who demand to
know how for example the left can champion Islamic regimes....
"The
people asking the question have mistaken the facade for the reality. The
left is socially progressive only in its revolutionary phase. The Soviet
Union, Castro’s Cuba and Communist China all had much the same view of gay people–
that Iran does today. While gay writers in America campaigned for the USSR or
Cuba, both those regimes imprisoned gay writers. Homosexuality was a criminal
offense in the USSR until its actual fall. None of this bothered liberals in
the West, who were happy to trek to Moscow, meet with Soviet leaders and blame
the US for the Cold War. And then come home and talk about how intolerant the
United States is.... An actual left wing dictatorship brutally represses everything
they claim to fight for."

Nazi Philosophy in Today's America:
"Nazis are not fascists but belong to global socialism, a section of the radical
left. I grew up during the Nazi regime, and following are some current developments
that remind me of that time. The Nazi intent was to throw God out of society....
Christians were told by the Nazis that we could pray and sing hymns in our homes
and churches, but the rules and control of society were the exclusive responsibility
of the state, that is, the German National Socialist Workers Party alone.
Here, the White House, Congress and the judiciary allow the ACLU to destroy
the fundamentals of our founding. The Nazis and their modern counterparts in
government in the U.S. realized that their control of government would be
difficult if people were obedient to a higher authority – God. The international
socialists, the Soviets, had come to the same conclusion."

Venezuelan civilians train to fight
for Chavez: "Known as
the Bolivarian Militia, this spirited group of mostly working-class men and
women — from students to retirees — are united by their militant support for
President Hugo Chavez and their willingness to defend his government.
From what exactly? Mr. Chavez has warned repeatedly of potential threats: the
United States, U.S.-allied Colombia and the Venezuelan 'oligarchy,' as he labels
opponents. He has called on recruits to be ready to lay down their lives if
necessary to battle 'any threat, foreign or domestic,' even though Venezuela
has never fought a war against another nation....
"In
the meantime, the militia is a practical tool for Mr. Chavez to engage his supporters,
rally nationalist fervor and intimidate any opponents.... One close aide, Public
Works Minister Diosdado Cabello, said the militia already is 120,000 strong
and could grow to 200,000.....The militia 'is a personal army, a Praetorian
Guard,' said retired Rear Adm. Elias Buchszer, a Chavez opponent. Despite Mr.
Chavez's talk about repelling a U.S. invasion... the militia is really aimed
at maintaining control, keeping him in power....Members of the volunteer force
range from the unemployed to electricians, bankers and social workers."

Hitler’s Green Killing Machine:
"Historians have either overlooked or forgotten that sweeping Nazi environmental
laws, all signed by Hitler and considered to be his pet projects, preceded
the racially charged Nuremberg Laws, reflecting the fact that Nazi racism
was rooted in ecology. The shocking climax of the infamous 1940 Nazi documentary
film entitled 'The Eternal Jew' stunningly reveals a strong green rationalization
based on animal rights for the looming destruction of the Jews....
"German
zoologist Ernst Haeckel, the racist Darwinist who coined the term 'ecology'
in 1866, posited that the Jewish transcendent view of man over nature made
them resistant to evolutionary biological change, and hence the Jews had become
a lesser race....
"To the
Nazis, the Jews had become a wandering and threatening invasive species
because of their steadfastness to universal transcendent values in opposition
to the Social Darwinian evolutionary laws of Nature. They were 'eternal' vagabonds,
uprooted from Nature and destructive to local national populations with alien
economic practices and politics. ...Thus, what later became known as the Final
Solution was in fact an eco-imperial plan rooted in racist biology with
ecological predilections." See

The Threat of
Totalitarianism:
[by Hilmar von Campe, who grew up under the Nazis] "The national
Socialist ideology was built on lies -- the most important being
that that there is no God. That godless concept led to the
Holocaust, the destruction of Germany, and to the death of millions
of families. Hitler lied to the German people and to the world. At
every stage, including the beginning of WWII, he fooled the
population....
"Obama's massive expansion of the federal government will destroy
the United States as a world power, make us even more dependent on
our enemies.... I believe his real purpose is not to get the United
States out of the financial mess but to set the stage for a total
takeover....
"During the Nazi years people were afraid of their government. ...
Since the Gestapo always tried to find out from children what their
parents were thinking, my parents like all other parents had to be
careful about what they said in our presence.... Thomas Jefferson
stated: when the people fear their government, there is tyranny;
when the government fears the people, then there is liberty. ...
"We were told in the Hitler Youth and in school that we could pray
and sing hymns at home or in our church as much as we liked. But the
rules for the German society would come from the National Socialist
Party and nobody else. They, like the Soviets, had realized that a
moral authority above the government in the form of God would be a
threat to their power grab." See

Card Check Deal in the Works?
"Senate Democrats on Friday floated a huge trial balloon announcing
a possible compromise deal on the Orwellian-named Employee Free
Choice Act (EFCA). Better known as 'card check,' the compromise that
was floated would drop the provision that would ban secret
ballots for workers when deciding whether or not to unionize
their workplace.... 'The most onerous provision of the legislation
is the binding arbitration,' McKinnon said. 'This is an absolute
nightmare for American business which is already strapped to its
capacity.… This would be hard to imagine under normal circumstances,
but it is impossible to imagine under the current economic climate.
This provision really translates into a nationalization of
American business. It’s a hostile takeover.' ... 'Under a
binding arbitration provision, employees would not even be able to
vote on their own contracts.... So they’d be working under
conditions over which they have no control..... It would all be left
in the hands of a federal bureaucrat....

Doctors Interrogate Children
as Informants on Parents' Behavior:

'She asked if you two did drugs, or if there are drugs in the house. The
doctor wanted to know how we get along. And if, well, Daddy, if you made

"Graham blames the trend on guidelines issued by the AAP [American Academy

doctors to ask children questions in order to uncover inappropriate or illegal
behavior.... The doctor filed a police report after asking the 5-year-old
girl if her father owned a gun....

questionnaire. ... The questions, as Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has said, are
'both ludicrous and insulting.'
"...you
are being told by the government to inform and spy on your family and friends—much
like that described by George Orwell in his futuristic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night

For every question not answered, there is a $100 fine. And for every intentionally
false response to a question, the fine is $500. ...
"Article
I of the U. S. Constitution makes it clear that the census should be taken
every ten years for the sole purpose of congressional redistricting. What

Social Justice: Code for Communism:

that simply cannot fail to command assent. As Orwell himself recognized,
even slavery could be sold if labeled 'freedom.' In this vein, who could
ever conscientiously oppose the pursuit of 'social justice,' -- i.e., a
just society? ....
"Karl
Marx formed and detailed the popular concept of 'social justice,' (which
has become a kind of 'new and improved' substitute for a storeful of other
terms -- Marxism, socialism, collectivism -- that, in the wake of Communism's
history and collapse, are now unsellable)....
"The unbroken
line from The Communist Manifesto to its contemporary adherents is that
economic inequality is the monstrous injustice of the capitalist system,
which must be replaced by an ideal of 'social justice' -- a 'classless'
society created by the elimination of all differences in wealth and 'power.'...
"Nobel
laureate F.A. Hayek's observation that if 'we treat them equally [politically],
the result must be inequality in their actual [i.e., economic] position.'
The irresistable conclusion is that 'the only way to place them in an equal
[economic] position would be to treat them differently [politically]' --
precisely the conclusion that the advocates of 'social justice' themselves
have always reached.... What can never be admitted is that authoritarian
brutality is the not-merely-possible-but-inevitable realization of the nature
of 'social justice' itself.
"What is 'social
justice'? The theory that implies and justifies the practice of socialism.
And what is 'socialism'? Domination by the State....
"What is 'social
justice'? The abolition of privacy. ...
"
What
is 'social justice'? ...The goal of complete economic equality logically
enjoins the means of complete state control, yet this means has never practically
achieved that end."

Democracy: "Despite

....
"The welfare state has also nationalized many of the formerly
family support functions. In 1960, 91 percent of all women 30 years of age
were married. Today, fewer than 50 percent are married....
"...the Danish
Statistical Yearbook 2002 shows reported crimes from 1935 to 1960 to be
stable: about 100,000 crimes per year. But
from 1960 until today, the number of crime
reports has increased by 500 percent.... And if we look at
violent crime, the picture is even
grimmer.... This is an increase of more than
700 percent, and it is still rising steeply....
"Welfare state advocates often say that crime is caused by poverty.
Well, Denmark has become about twice as rich per citizen during this period
of rising crime. Another argument is that poverty is caused by economic
inequality. Well, Denmark has engaged in the most comprehensive income redistribution
program of any nation....
"There are better explanations. Massive redistribution schemes have
undercut people's respect for property rights. The rhetoric against wealth
producers that has accompanied the redistribution has created social antagonisms....
"The best explanation may be the change in the views of intellectuals.
In the 1960s, the theory emerged that crime
should not be blamed on the offender but on society. This led to
the conclusion that crime should not be punished—at least not very harshly—but
instead socially treated...."

Convention, which requires that prisoners of war 'must at all times be protected,
particularly against acts of violence or intimidation.' ....
"'No one's saying you shouldn't vigorously go after terrorists,' Beeson
replied. 'But in a democracy, you comply with the Bill of Rights before

Barcodes 'stop baby mix-ups':
"Barcodes containing newborn babies' fingerprints are being used to prevent
mix-ups over identification. The system has been introduced in the maternity
unit of La Zarzuela Hospital in Madrid, Spain. As soon as babies are born
their fingerprints, and those of their mothers, are stored in electronic
barcodes which mother and baby wear on their wrists. ... In effect, they
act as an ID card for the child."

Bush Plans to Let Religious
Groups Get Building Aid: "The Bush administration plans to allow
religious groups for the first time to use federal housing money to help
build centers where religious worship is held, as long as part of the building
is also used for social services."
Does this mean that the state
can help build mosques for thousands of Muslim immigrants -- as France plans
to do? See the next link:
Secular France mulls mosque
subsidies: "French officials have called for a revision of a
century-old law on the separation of church and state, to allow government
bodies to subsidise mosques. An estimated five million Muslims live in France
- making Islam the country's second religion."

What federal discretionary grants
mean to your state:
"Every state in the United States received Goals 2000 grant awards. What
were they required to do as condition of receipt of that money? ... When
the states received School-to-Work grants, they had to show they were implementing
Goals 2000. This is called the 'spider-web' effect. Apply and receive one
grant, agree to implement and abide by a myriad of federal laws. Via grants,
states have lost their sovereignty...."

White House Defends Plan For
Faith-Based Environmental Grants
"David Kuo, deputy director of the White House Office of Faith Based
and Community Initiatives, called the EPA's efforts to include religious
groups that advocate green causes a 'great' idea. ...
Jerry Lawson, director
of the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star said, "'A couple of
days ago, one of the higher-ups at EPA called me, and we talked about grants.
This person said to me ... 'look if you hear of good ideas of faith-based
groups that are environmental proposals, let me know,' Lawson told the
gathering. 'So, I would like to offer myself as a conduit,' he told the
participants at the Worldwatch Institute symposium entitled, 'Invoking
the Spirit: Religion and Spirituality in the Quest for a Sustainable World.'"

Green Movement Turns To God
To Advance Cause:
"The Worldwatch Institute released its new study detailing how religious
groups worldwide are pushing green causes. The report, 'Invoking the
Spirit: Religion and Spirituality in the Quest for a Sustainable World,'
states that environmentalists 'have become more aware of the power of spirituality
in creating an emotional connection between people and nature.'....
"Many of the participants
praised the recent anti-SUV campaign called, 'What Would Jesus Drive?'...
'I think Jesus would have driven the most fuel efficient vehicle he could
find.' ... Grace's group, the National Religious Partnership for the
Environment, was one of the sponsors of the recent anti-SUV campaign
invoking the name of Jesus...
"Chris Horner, a senior
fellow at the free-market environmental think tank Competitive Enterprise
Institute... was also unimpressed with the anti-SUV campaign invoking Jesus.
'It is a shameless gimmick to ask, in reality, 'What Would Jesus Drive,
if I were Jesus? It is arrogant for people to assume what Jesus would drive.'"

[Federal Control in compliance
with UN standards]
Opposition in Nebraska highlights
GOP conflict over federal intervention:
"The states face two key deadlines -- one at the end of next month, the
other in June -- to show they plan to fully comply with the [federal education]
law. If not, they could lose millions of dollars in education funding....
"State officials complain that the president is abandoning the conservative
principle that the federal government should not meddle in state-run public
education. ...'The Constitution of this country says education is a state
matter, that it's our job, and I cannot in good conscience stand up in front
of anyone in this state and say we need to do something because the federal
government says we do,' he said. ...
"At a campaign event in Shreveport, La., several weeks ago, Bush said he
supported 'making sure we've got local control of our schools in America.'
But then he added, 'Last year, we spent $847 million of federal money on
Louisiana schools, and that's good. But now we're starting to ask the question:
... Are we getting our money's worth?'" In other words, the promise of local
control is a farce. Read
