Credit-card delinquencies hit record

America well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extraction, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. ...She might become dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.-- John Quincy Adams, [July 4, 1821]

"One of the images, shot by photographer Dave Martin for The Associated Press, shows a young black man wading through chest-deep waters after 'looting' a grocery store, according to the caption. In the other...a white man and a similarly light-skinned woman also waded through chest-deep water after 'finding' goods that included bread and soda in a local grocery store, according to the caption. Apparently,...it's not looting if you're white."

Democracy, But Not Necessarily Freedom - From the article: " Aristotle recognized that constitutions in an important sense are undemocratic, if by “democracy” we mean “the untrammeled authority of the majority.” When the U.S. Constitution enumerates a finite set of congressional powers or the First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law ...” they impose limits on what “the people” collectively may do. By doing so, they protect the people — individually."

Katrina educates world on need for owning guns - A great article on the necessity of an armed citizenry in times of natural and/or man-made disasters. References are made to Katrina and the L.A. riots of 1992. A must read. When your life is in danger, you don't want to rely on a police force that is stretched way too thin. And the last thing you want to hear when you call 9-1-1 is: "All our operators are busy right now ..." That might just be the last thing you ever hear.

Why We Fight : The resolution, HJ RES 114, explicitly cited the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998 as one of the reasons we had to go to war.  The authorization granted the President to use force against Iraq cited two precise reasons:

1.      “To defend the national security of the U.S. against the continuing threat posed by Iraq and”

2.      “Enforce all relevant United Nations Council resolutions regarding Iraq.”

Many other reasons were given to stir the emotions of the American public and the U.S. Congress, reasons that were grossly misleading and found not to be true.  The pretense of a legal justification was a sham. 

The fact that Congress is not permitted under the Constitution to transfer the war power to a president was ignored. Only Congress can declare war, if we were inclined to follow the rule of law.  To add insult to injury, HJ RES 114 cited United Nations resolutions as justifications for the war.  Ignoring the Constitution while using the UN to justify the war showed callous disregard for the restraints carefully written in the Constitution.  The authors deliberately wanted to make war difficult to enter without legislative debate, and they purposely kept the responsibility out of the hands of the executive branch.  Surely they never dreamed an international government would have influence over our foreign policy or tell us when we should enter into armed conflict.

Paul Supports Gas Tax Relief


09/08/05

I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and the duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevailing tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government the Government should not support the people. The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow-citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood. — President Grover Cleveland, upon vetoing a bill appropriating money to aid drought-stricken farmers in Texas (February 16, 1887)
