One Type of Secession that seems to be Working

Suburbs Secede from Atlanta

Sounds like common sense to me. Let the corrupt cities reap what they sow.

Napolitano on U.S. drone program: "It's a crime for you...to lie to the government...

...why isn't it a crime for the government to lie to us?....When the president thinks he can willy nilly use drones however and whenever and against whomever he wishes and then lie about it, we have a problem....The legal justification [for drones] was hogwash!"  More here.

Why Does DHS Need 2700 of These?

Where do you think DHS plans to use these armored vehicles? New York City? Chicago? L.A.? Your home town? It's pretty clear, the government is preparing for civil unrest. You almost get the sense they are looking forward to it! They have contracted for 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo in the next few years. Is it plausible that all those rounds are needed for target practice? And what do you think of those "targets" in my previous post? I'm a pacifist by nature and I trust in God not guns, but anyone with eyes can see that the most dangerous assault on the U.S. at present is from our own government. When talking too much about the Constitution makes you a suspected terrorist or asking police their authority for stopping you at a random check point or belonging to a "hate group - Christian identity," or "violent anti-abortion extremism" whatever that means, or using cash (all these categories are included in FBI flyers, more) it's pretty likely that almost any citizen can fit their definitions.

You're Under Surveillance

Whoa! Technology can be a great benefit, but it can also be used by tyrants to dissolve all your rights. This video presents some chilling information about the current state of the government using illegal surveillance to collect information about innocent Americans. As one of the reporters says, we are already in a police state, a "soft" police state. Much information is being gathered illegally not only by government, but also by private agencies. Using the "war on terror" and "national security" and unconstitutional provisions like the Patriot Act, the government is militarizing domestic law enforcement and appears to be preparing for citizen opposition with massive ammo buys and targets that show average citizens: pregnant women, children, the elderly, etc. The first way to fight is to pray, the second is to do the duties of your state in life, the third is to resist the unconstitutional attacks by government. Watch this for an eye-opening look at how close we are to tyranny.

Pope Benedict's Final Tweets

It's not too surprising that the pope's final messages to the world talked about the joy of knowing and loving Jesus Christ. God bless our pope emeritus. May his final days, months, and years bring him the joy he wishes to others. Arrivederci, Papa Benedict!

Feb 27 
"If only everyone could experience the joy of being Christian, being loved by God who gave his Son for us!"

Feb 28
"Thank you for your love and support. May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives."

Pray this Daily for the Cardinals in Conclave

Conclave Novena Prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send down your Spirit over the conclave. Let the Holy Spirit inspire the hearts of the cardinals, that they may choose the man most pleasing to You, as Successor of Peter and Your Vicar on Earth. May Mary, Your Mother and Mother of the Church, be our Advocate. Amen.

The Papal Conclave...

...to start on Tuesday. Pray hard!

When Was the Last Time You Were Stopped at an Unconstitutional Checkpoint?

Every now and then I get stopped on my own street for a license check. I sympathize with the police officers. I suspect they are looking for illegals. There are many in this area because of the chicken packing plants in the valley. Nevertheless, what they are doing is an unconstitutional violation of the fourth amendment that protects us from "unreasonable search and seizure...and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause." So I think I will respectfully decline next time I get stopped. It's time to stop cooperating with the unconstitutional infringement of our rights.

Should Obama Be Able to Kill American Citizens....

...on his own authority and without due process. Eric Holder says he has the authority. But if a president can target an American citizen for death, and send a drone to kill him, why can't he send officers to arrest him? Our Constitution demands due process? No president has the right to kill citizens without trial. This is tyranny plain and simple and it bodes ill for the future if Congress does nothing to stop it.

We've already seen Americans murdered on our soil when the Clinton administration committed atrocities at Ruby Ridge and Waco. Enough is enough!

Eric Holder says Obama can use drones to kill U.S. citizens on American soil.

Too Funny...But Is It True? I Doubt It.

This video reminded me of the reason I began home schooling...not because the parochial school (where I was teaching) was bad, but because of the family breakdown and what it was doing in the classroom. It also reminded me of one really obnoxious parent who, whenever you tried to talk to her, lashed out in anger to blame the school (or me) for her child's problems. She wasn't the least bit interested in solving them, only in justifying herself. Fortunately, most of the parents were not like her or it would have been a very loooong year.
