A CONSTITUTION A constitution is a thing . . . antecedent to a government! and . . . a government is only the creature of a constitution. The constitution of a country . . . is not the act of its government, but of the people constituting a government! It is the body of elements, to which you can refer, and quote article by article . . . and which contains the principles on which the government shall be established, the manner in which it shall be organized, the powers it shall have, the mode of elections, the duration ...

"I wasn't the one who had trouble explaining it." - (GORE, last remark before closing statement of the 2nd debate) With that one line, Gore totally blew the debate for himself, in Bush's favor. Gore pretty much only said the obvious. There was nothing insightful in what Gore said tonight, and so many things insightful in what Bush said. Bush discussed our strengths, the greatest strength the influence we can have by imparting to our global neighbors that we understand freedom. This was an amazing thing George Bush said. George Bush had the true insight when it comes to ...

Three Buchanan Supporters tell me they are now Voting Bush-Cheney Bush is back on top. Zogby is still due out tomorrow, but the preponderance of polls solidly indicate Bush on top, enough to win it. Then today, three Buchanan supporters tell me they are now voting Bush-Cheney - words from them to the effect "it's too important", "don't want to see Gore in there", and the feeling of getting on board because "it's going to happen - Bush is going to win" and they want to chip in to that happening, every percentage point counts. This thing is starting ...

FBI PICKS UP THREE DANGEROUS ALIENS German Native Held for Curfew Violation Four Bay Area alien enemies today were in custody of the FBI, three as “potentially dangerous” and one for violation of the alien curfew law. John Hagan, 57, a chauffeur, was arrested late last night by local FBI agents on Turk-st for being on the streets after the curfew hour. Hagen, born in Germany, gave his address as 78 Westwood-dr. Federal agents also arrested Mariano Gugno of 170 Pfeiffer-st, an employe of the American Smelting and Refining Co. Gugno was said to be an active member of the ...

Jim and all: I actively participated in the War on Drugs in my 20's, and it was that experience that prompted me to write "The Truth About The War on Drugs" and, "The War on Drugs Is A War on Us", both archived on the Vigo Examiner web site. You might also review my article, "The Thin Yellow Line That Protects Us" to understand why the police have resorted to military style attacks instead of just two cops walking up and arresting a suspect on the street. It is that "new" police mentality that led to the tragic deaths at ...

Bush's America "What is George Bush like? Describe the dominant impression he made on one", those who spend time, or even just an hour, with George Bush are often asked. The answer more common than not is often a surprising one: "His great love." It is heard from, so often, by those who know the man, and from those unknowns in the crowd who had the opportunity to met him only briefly one on one. And, it is there in what they say about him, and it is said over and over again such that I cannot ignore it. Yet, ...

This is NOT another Commentary on How Mr. Cheney Routed Joe Lieberman in the 1st V.P. Debate (he did, but you already know that). While organizing the forces of taxpaying Americans against the foreign rule of Washington D.C., candidate George Bush (R) has taken care not to rip open the latent fissures in American society. This is the quality of Mr. Bush that brings so much hope to America, because Al Gore will only further divide America, while Mr. Bush has the amazing propensity of being able to provide leadership on how to use the best in America and ...

Bush Goes Negative Texas Governor Slams Gore's Debate Statements Two Of The Veep's Anecdotes Are The Targets Candidates Now Stumping In The Same Key States GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 5, 2000 (CBS) As the struggle for battleground states continues, George W. Bush is taking the opportunity to lash out at rival Al Gore, who has yet to return the attacks.

Gore-Bush Debate a Bump for Ralph Nader I already said my spiel on why I think this debate may help Bush. Having said that, overall it was just a typical debate. Which translates to me that perhaps some folks were, well, bored. So, what this translates is that the Gore-Bush debate is a bump for Ralph Nader. I predict that, after this debate and it's format, Nader is going to get a big bump, he's going to start climbing in the polls. The reason is, Nader, like Buchanan, isn't the expect, so he isn't boring. And neither are his ...

AL GORE - "CAN I HAVE THE LAST WORD?" (again. . .) In the days before the debate, Al Gore was going around parroting the line, "I see it less as a contest or a competition than as a chance to speak directly to the American people about my beliefs, values and the issues that I think makes the most sense for our country". He stole this from Richard Nixon, pre-1960 Kennedy-Nixon debate, all the prose about seeing the debate "not as a contest but an opportunity to speak with the American people" yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, Gore had his ...

Cordial prayer for George Bush There is endless instruction in a single word, when God speaks. With that power, His master-key opens every door. Without effort, all is accomplished, when the Creator stands revealed. So, in the company of angels watching you today, the Lord with ease makes His presence known in the hearts of His servants. How many in this dark age have become voices for the good word through God's teachings? How many continually perish for lack of it. But for you today, a divine teacher is the Lord, who can stand behind you, unseen but seen by ...

Mohandas K. Gandhi was born on this day, October 2nd, 1869, in a small principality in India. Winston Churchill once called him a "half-naked fakir", but in the years to come afterward came to admire Gandhi as one of the world's "greatest statesman". In fact, Churchill once called Gandhi, Gandhi an open critic of Nehru's socialistic politics, a "conservative" - in fact, Gandhi was a conservative. Of course, he also transcended politics while at the same time political. One of the many famous quotes of Gandhi was, "I have disregarded the order served upon me", he told the magistrate ...

Gore on King (CNN) Being a rebel by nature, I am no lover of the platitudes of the by gone politicians. Being that Gore has been in the White House for the last 8 years, and has given us 8 years of Clinton-Gore policy of platitudes but no results (by the way, no thanks for the "great economy" Al, neither you Bill), Gore is pretty much delegated to the by gone politicians as far I'm concerned - if he wins or loses, he isn't going to make any changes, he isn't going to give us even one of those ...

Los Angeles Times poll shows Bush on top by 6 Points! LATIMES POLL - Men's Backing Helps Power Bush Past Gore 9-25 Survey shows the GOP nominee is ahead, 48% to 42%! They try to spin it, but they can't!!! - it show that women support has dropped to only 7 point lead for Gore among females, but the Texas governor has a 22-point lead among males! The Times Poll contacted 1,052 registered voters nationwide, including 694 voters most likely to vote, by telephone Sept. 23–25, 2000.

Bush on King (CNN) First off, the Governor did great. In fact he did so well there isn't really a need to elaborate on that. So I don't really want to talk about George Bush exactly. I want to talk about Larry King. I don't like CNN, the Clinton News Network. I don't like the specious Clinton stooges such as Judy Woodruth or that turd Jeff Greenfield. In fact, CNN is a totally discredited news agency. Having said that, there is one person on CNN that is a professional. He isn't a news "reporter", and since his main craft is ...

Al Gore said he invented the emergency oil reserves. Only thing is, sorry Al, you weren't there when the emergency oil reserves were chartered and established. In fact, when the emergency oil reserves were established, you Al Gore were still in your 20's and not even a representative in office. Al Gore has been telling a lot of folks what a "great idea" the emergency oil reserves were, something he was a brain-trust of, and thank God for the "great idea" because thanks to Al Gore's suggestion, we can now dip into those emergency oil reserves in the last ...

Let Ralph Nader Debate! Phil Donahue of the Committee to Elect Ralph Nader was on CNN today (Larry King Show), and he made several reasonable arguments in favor of opening the debate up, at least the initial first debate between Bush and Gore, to the participation of Ralph Nader. The same arguments he presented in inviting Nader to participate would also be valid for candidate Patrick Buchanan. First of all, Nader is in fact a major candidate. I would agree with Donahue on that issue, in that in my opinion it is the 10% undecided vote that is going to ...

The British nation Conservatives believe in the British nation. We believe that the ability of the British people to govern ourselves is vital to our future. We have to maintain our right to set our own taxes, agree our own social policy, develop our own regulatory framework. We have to resist those who want to bounce us into a single currency, who want to surrender ever more of the rights and powers of the British people, who want to see this country become a small part of a European federal superstate. We believe that strong and free, able to compete ...

CNN caught lying. False picture of Mihailovic published. www.aim.ac.yu Swedish radio news commentators say the election was fair. Milosevic's Socialist Party is apparently leading in some of the important and populated districts, and Kostunica is leading in a few other key districts, though the US government is trying to claim that any supportive voting for Milosevic is not legitimate and that the election should rather be determined by opinion polls which were held previous to the actual ballot. A CNN spokesperson stated that the Yugoslavian election should be determined by the consensus of a CNN "Talk Back Live" audience. 250 ...
