JAMES KENNEDY: GOVERNOR JEB BUSH DUTY BOUND TO ACT TO PRESERVE LIFE OF TERRI SCHIAVO Fort Lauderdale, March 24, 2005 — Dr. D. James Kennedy issued the following statement today: Governor Jeb Bush is to be commended for all he has done in seeking to save the life of Terri Schiavo. His course of action thus far has proven fruitless. Neither the state legislature nor the courts, state or federal, have been willing to act on behalf of this helpless woman who is now within hours of death. As Governor, Jeb Bush is the only legal authority...

In that this will be my last column before the presidential election there will be no sarcasm, no attempts at witty repartee. The topic is too serious, and the stakes are too high. This November we will vote in the only election during our lifetime that will truly matter. Because America is at a once-in-a-generation crossroads, more than an election hangs in the balance. Down one path lies retreat, abdication and a reign of ambivalence. Down the other lies a nation that is aware of its past and accepts the daunting obligation its future demands. If we choose poorly, the...

Was it Freud or Jung - or maybe Professor Irwin Corey ("the world's foremost authority") - who defined "insanity" as "trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"? This year's state budget includes a pension-funding scheme that's a clone of one that was ruled illegal just 12 months ago. The plan is to float up to $2 billion in bonds - without giving the electorate a say in the matter. Last year's formula for $2 billion in "pension obligation bonds" also cut voters out of the equation. It was struck down by a state Superior Court...

Has anyone checked Bush's lottery number for the draft? If Bush was born on July 6, 1946 his birthdate was included in the first drawing in 1969. If I'm reading the results from the lottery correctly, Bush would have never been drafted and he knew it when he joined the TANG. Makes an interesting comparison with Kerry who tried who tried to get a deferrment to go to France. How about checking me on this?

To secure the continuing existence of the United States democracy against intractable religious fanaticism, whose goal is nothing less than a Muslim theocracy for all of planet Earth, it is inevitable that military conscription will again be implemented during the months following the 2004 Presidential Election. The nature of this struggle renders irrelevant the person or party who wins the election. With very rare exceptions, every male residing in the United States 18 to 26 years of age is required by the Military Selective Service Act to register with the Selective Service System, and thereby subject himself to the possibility...

Voluntary Alternatives to Taxation Stuart K. Hayashi Most Americans believe paying taxes is a patriotic duty. Yet this very nation was founded upon people evading taxes in 1776. When individuals don’t pay taxes, the government goes after them with guns, even though they haven’t used force on anyone else. Thus, taxation is an initiation of physical force against the individual’s right to life, liberty and property. Because taxation is forcible extortion, it violates your right to property. If you don’t pay taxes, you can be jailed, hence depriving you the right to liberty. And if tax “evaders” fight tax...
