This is your wake-up call
My friends, I've been taking a lot of flak lately because of my stand on President Bush and the Republicans. Well, my thinking is that the coming elections are so critical that the very continuation of America as we know it may be at stake.All of our institutions are controlled by liberals. Both houses of Congress are awash in liberals and socialists and moderates and very few conservatives. The Courts are infested with liberal activist judges. Our media and entertainment industries are overrun by liberals. Our universities are overrun by liberals. Our public education systems are overrun by liberals. The liberals control public opinion through their controlled nightly news programs and their daily liberal newspapers. My God, the whole damn country is run by hordes of mushy headed liberals and socialists in biblical proportions! And now they even have the audacity to openly attack patriotism and even God Almighty Himself!
A United States Federal Appeals Court in California has declared the
Pledge of Allegiance to be unconstitutional! And this simply because it contains the phrase, "Under God." I'm speechless! I just sit here and shake my head. Don't even know what to say.
Wake up America! We've been saying that for years. The far right-wingers have been shouting it for decades. Wake up America! Wake up America, the socialists are coming!
And now it's here. The Republic is in grave danger. The liberal activist judiciary has tested the waters. If America does not wake up and not only say no, but hell no to this abomination, then what will the emboldened court take next? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna sit around on my butt doing nothing while we find out.
Call to action: Get off your Butts! Call or write your reps! Voice your opinion. Demand that they do something about this. Tell them that America will not allow this outrage to stand! Demand of your Senators that they move President Bush's judiciary appointments through the Senate! The Democrat controlled Senate is holding up his appointments, hoping to delay as many as they possibly can until Bush appoints judges more to their liking, or possibly even until they can get Gore or Hillary elected in 2004. God forbid!
And, I'm convinced more than ever, that we must have a complete turnover of the judiciary in the next decade. This is critical. The liberal activist judiciary is getting more and more aggressive. If we do not get some conservative judges in there pretty soon, this game is going to be over.
How do we get conservative judges? Well, I can guarantee you that we will not get them as long as the Senate is controlled by Democrats. We must have a Republican President to appoint conservative judges and we must have a Republican majority so they will be moved through the Senate. This is one of the primary reasons why I want to push so hard to help elect Republicans to the Congress and especially to the Senate. And this is why I want to push so hard to help re-elect President Bush in 2004.
Wake up America! And wake up right-wingers! Vote out the Democrats. Vote in a huge Republican majority so we can retake America from the liberals!
We cannot afford a loss or even a squeaker in the next couple of elections. We must have Reaganesque landslides! Send them to Washington with a mandate from the American people! We want a complete turnover and makeover of the judiciary and all of the government. Give is back our Liberty!
This is not the time for sending a negative message. It does us no good for conservatives to sit on their hands or to vote third party. The only message that sends is to say you don't care if we have wall-to-wall liberals forever. The Democrats will love you. The liberal activist judiciary will love you.
The message you should send is one by pen and ink, or by phone calls and personal meetings. Send a message now to your congressmen and to the Republican Party. Now is the time to send the message. Tell them what we want them to run on and what we want them to do when they get in there. Send them a positive message filled with patriotism and love for God and Country. Tell them that we are fed up with the liberals and we want our country back and we want our rights back. Tell your relatives and your friends and neighbors. Tell them to write and call and visit. And tell them to vote for the Republican in their districts. We must do this if we want it back. We cannot afford to fail.
God bless you all and thank you for bearing with me. I love my country and I love my freedom more than life itself. I don't care what anyone says about me, or what labels they pin on me. From this day forward I am a Bush-bot and proud of it! I am going to help turn this thing around or I'm going down in flames trying.
FReegards,
Jim Robinson
It comes on here at 0300-0600. We watch from 0445-0600 as we're getting ready for work. E.D. was great - she ripped that jerk a new one.
You can begin by informing them that the (vehemently) dissenting opinion was written by Judge Fernandez, one of the two Republican (Bush 1)appointees, and that other concurring vote was by Judge Reinhardt, a Carter nominee.
As Freeper deport has pointed out the makeup of the Senate when the other Republican (Goodwin/Nixon) was confirmed was: Democrats --- 54; Republicans -- 44; Independents -- 1; Conservative -- 1 -- obviously making it difficult to get a truly conservative judge appointed, so it would be safe to assume that Goodwin is not conservative.
As others have pointed out, Goodwin was called back from retirement due to the shortage of judges caused by Dashchle's open and avowed refusal to confirm Bush's judicial nominees.
You may also want to read the dissenting opinion by Judge Fernandez, the other Republican nominee posted posted here by Freeper, Constitution Day.
Let me say one other thing Mr. Robinson.
I know you are using the word 'liberal' in the sense that it is the common usage for describing what we here know to be the left wing.
These people are as far from being 'liberal' in any classic sense of the word.
They are totalitarians, ruling by fiat; stuffing the courts with like minded drones who will legislate whatever they see fit from the bench.
Thank you. I am so grateful for the firm position you have taken on this crucial issue and for the positive suggestions. We need to replace both Senators from my state but especially the jr Senator,Mary Landrieu. She is a young Hillary in the making with the money and backing of the old democratic party machine here. Right now the chances of defeating her aren't looking too good.
Thanks for the Ping, Mo. :)
“The Religious Freedom Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of religious freedom in the United States as envisioned by the authors of the Constitution. William J. Murray, founder and chairman, came naturally to an interest in religious freedom and the moral crisis facing our nation. He was the plaintiff of record in the 1963 landmark Supreme Court case that outlawed school prayer and Bible reading.”
The 9th circuit handed the Republicans a gift in its decision.
Haway the Lads, Jim!
This is a gift for us! Let the clueless clowns over at Lew Rockwell Dot Com cheer on this decision. It strikes at the heart of an American Institution. Indeed, this could become the political equivalent of the 1994 Baseball Strike.
Outstanding.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
And how many honestly believe that child's beliefs would be respectfully honored in the 'public school' environment?
To draft a Constitutional Amendment requiring recital, in this current form, would be a travesty; and the ruling is proper, if it only bars mandatory recitation. If anyone wishes to voluntarily recite the Pledge, more power to them. If I want to (as someone did earlier in the thread) post here, "God Bless America.", I can do that; but to require attendance, and require and/or enforce recitation, would be contrary to the intent of the Constitution.
Would I be thrown out of the Supreme Court, or Congress, were I to refuse to close my eyes and bow my head during their morning prayer? If so, that, too, would be a mockery of the individual liberty the Constitution is designed to protect.
You could ask John Robinson... :o)
As for the liberal university thing, one way to protest this is just by not sending one's kids to a public university. Private Universities, especially Christian ones, are well worth the extra money.
Personally, I hope all this unconservative garbage we see from the administration has it's roots in an attempt to buy back our damn Senate. And while I may not agree with the methods, it's impossible to argue with the motive.
