  • True Purpose of the Illegals.

    These illegals need to deported. As a legal immigrant from Cuba my parents had to jump through a host of hoops in order that we would arrive in the U.S. pursuant to the rule of law. I am in favor of making illegal migration a felony. Additionally when they use forged documents would that not be considered additional crimes that they may be committing? Talk about the double standard, an illegal going into Mexico would be considered a felon and would be deported forthwith. There is a sinister part in all of this and it has to do with the...

    How about that. This forum is called Free Republic. To me the definition of a free republic is where you have the freedom to express your ideas and not to be ridiculed. The question then becomes, is this forum a true Free Republic where one can express their own ideas even if same differ somewhat or is it a free republic for those with only one point of view, differences be barred from the forum. Gee, it sounds like what I left behind when I came to this country from Cuba where there was only one opinion accepted, that which...
  • Why I Voted For Badnarik

    I will admit I made a grammatical error. I know only too well about the RLC as I am the Chairman of the Florida RLC. We chose not to endorse Bush for re-election for his many positions that went against libertarian principles. It was left up to each individual in the RLC to vote for whom they pleased.. I was certainly not the only one that voted for Badnarik. There were many others who also voted for him and a group was formed called Republicans For Badnarik. As to Cuba, I am well aware that Bush has done many positive...

    This election is indeed very important. However, what this election is about is whether or not we wish to have limited government once and for all not just by paying lip service to that concept but by deed which the Republicans have abandoned totally. I came from Cuba in 1961. I came to this country seeking liberty. When I became an American citizen I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution Of The United States. I took and still take that oath very seriously. I came to this contry where everyone is supposed to enjoy privacy. I came...

    How about Ron Paul for President in 2004 and Tom Feeney as vice president. Would that not be a libertarian powerhouse or what? How about a draft Paul, Feeney presidential ticket for 2004?
  • SEA Ordinace to be called either SEIZE or Land Confiscation

    The question becomes should we allow this Land Confiscation to take place just like Castro does in Cuba where I came from. Or do we need to stand together in one voice stating No Toleration for Land Confiscation just like what has been happening with the Sawgrass Rebellion down in Souht Florida near the Everglades at the 8.5 square mile area. All that I ask is that y'all send e-mails to the different County Commissioners to maintain pressure and make sure they vote no to this Land Confiscation because that it truly is and nothing else. I for one will...

  • Save Endangered Areas (Sea Ordinance)

    The Brevard County Commission is now proposing a new ordinance called the Save Endangered Areas or as we term it the Sea Ordinance. This proposed ordinance is a clear violation of property rights. This ordinance would force the taking of 1/2 of any landowner's property of five acres or more or greater withon specified areas and turn it into a preserve at the expense of the landowner without any compensation. This would result in crowded building of single family homes on smaller lot sizes. Additionally, they wish to incorporate a "no kill" solution into the package meaning no killing of...

    Recently, the Brevard County commission had voted to put a ballot initiative asking the voters as to whether or not they wanted a one percent sales tax hike which would go supposedly for capital improvemnets. For the last seven years, the county has seen an increase in building of new homes and subdivisions. Resale of existing homes would have trheir assesed value increased. The result had been a big revenue windfall for the County. Then like all Big Governments, they decided to go on a spending spree even violating the CAPIT provisions that had been approved by voters two years...
