WILL RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS BECOME "INVINCIBLE?"

(Forwarded to RiteOn by Guest Editor G.G. of Tennessee)
*********************************
Today, Iran builds nuclear weapons systems, N. Korea already has a nuclear weapon, and fear that Saddam Hussein had WMD entrapped the U.S. into a long and very expensive war. Meanwhile, the current media and politicians continue to desire peace at almost any price and threaten "isolation" (to oil rich countries like Iran), as a sanction for pursuing atomic (energy) weapons systems.

The U.S. waits to see when and if the belligerent country actually obtains a nuclear weapon and delivery system before contemplating military action to destroy the belligerent's nuclear capability, and allows the belligerents to form weapons supply cartels to further their nuclear missile projects.

If the enemy even agrees to talk to us we consider it a diplomatic victory. G.W. Bush implied after 9/11 any country harboring terrorists would face military reprisal from the U.S, yet Iran supplies terrorists regularly and blatantly, as well as Syria. The standard of proof that a country supports terrorist organizations is "beyond any doubt", and any military reprisal short of that is shortly (and loudly) declared war mongering by representatives of our own Republic. (That is after the heat is off.)

I suppose this is modern diplomacy, but where will it lead us?

DEMOCRATS AND GUN CONTROL

...At the time, Obama was a state senator in Illinois, where he supported increasing federal excise taxes on guns and ammunition by 500 percent, banning compact handguns, limiting the frequency of gun purchases, banning the sale of guns (except antiques) at gun shows, charging a person with a felony offense if his gun were stolen and used in a crime, prohibiting people under age 21 from possessing guns, increasing the gun dealer licensing fee, prohibiting dealers from conducting business at gun shows or within five miles of a school or park, and banning police agencies from selling old service firearms to generate funds to buy new firearms for their officers.

From 1998 to 2001, Obama was also a director of the Joyce Foundation, the largest provider of tax-free funds to anti-gun groups and causes in this country—$19 million, including $1.5 million to the ultra-radical Violence Policy Center during Joyce’s Obama years. Obama even considered becoming Joyce’s president, according to the Boston Globe.

To be fair, I should mention that Obama’s chief rival for the 2008 Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has a serious anti-gun record, as well. When she was First Lady, Clinton endorsed a 25 percent tax on handguns, an increase in the federal gun dealer license fee to $2,500, registration and licensing of handguns and their owners, and registration and licensing for all new owners of rifles and shotguns.

MO HOUSE BILL TO REFORM JUDICIARY IS DEFEATED

The MO House of Representatives took up HJR 49, a bill that would have allowed elected representatives to choose Supreme Court Judges instead of, as is now the procedure, “secret selection” by a panel of lawyers. Predictably, the Bill to move the selection out into the open where voters could decide by communication with their elected representatives, which judges they wanted, was defeated. By defeat of this Bill, lawyers maintain their control of Supreme Court judicial appointments. The vote on this Bill is included at the end of the message. You can see who voted against passage of the Bill and therefore who supports lawyer control of these critical judicial appointments.

Liberal trial attorneys and the NEA, both oppose this Bill. (and they won!)
HJR 49, if it had passed, would have allowed more “strict constructionist” judges to be appointed to the Court and would have lessened the practice of appointing liberal judges who are inclined to legislate from the bench. As the result, 17 of the last 18 nominees to the Supreme Court have been Democrats.  In turn, the Supreme Court of Missouri has been issuing increasingly activist rulings.

EXPLANATION OF "TAX REBATE"

This is a great explanation of the tax rebate program recently enacted by Congress. If you don't understand how it will work maybe this explanation will help:

50,000 people went to a baseball game, but the game was rained out.  A refund was then due to the ticket holders.

The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.

Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an 'Earned Income Ticket Credit.' Persons 'earn' it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.

People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it 'seems fair.'

People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.

People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the 'right thing to do'.

People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. They are either lazy or think that society owes them for just being born. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.

Now do you understand?

If not, contact Representative
Nancy Pelosi or Senators Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama for assistance.

Netanyahu Warns World of a Nuclear Iran

These are excerpts from a NEWSMAX article published April 18, 2008. To read the complete article click HERE.

********************

Benjamin Netanyahu, the former and possibly future prime minister of Israel, said the “civilized community of nations” must not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

"This is not merely a local problem, this is a global problem. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons everything we have been talking about will pale in comparison," Netanyahu said on Wednesday. ...
...Netanyahu, head of the Likud opposition party, warned that a nuclear-armed Iran will put the oil reserves of the Persian Gulf under their control and could easily bring down governments or fold them into Iran's realm. ...

..."I said a year and a half ago that the year is 1938 and Iran is Germany and it's racing to acquire nuclear weapons. If that's the case, were now 1939. There is about two years left before Iran becomes a nuclear power.

Netanyahu said "the first thing we must do – and by we, I mean the civilized community of nations – [is] to do everything in our power to prevent the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons.”...

...Iran announced on April 8 that it had begun installing 6,000 new centrifuges at its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. ...

Centrifuges can enrich uranium to a low level to produce nuclear fuel — or a high level for use in weapons.

PROPERTY TAXES ARE TOO HIGH!

In response to our announced plans to initiate a citizens tax revolt, we received the following message from Rep. Cynthia Davis. She represents District 19 in St Charles County, Missouri and, at our request, has graciously given us permission to publish her response... Ed
------------------
Chuck,

I filed a bill nearly identical to California's Prop 13.  It was going to freeze real estate taxes.   After additional input, I made a substitute for my bill, HJR42 that also included a spending limit on local governments as well as doing away with reassessments altogether.  My bill also rolled back the assessment to whatever the land was valued at in 2005.  Local growth, improvements and inflation could be added to the value. 

The Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee (Mike.Sutherland of Warrenton) is not taking a vote on my bill.  I also could not get the policy development committee to support this as a Republican Caucus position.  While this is a bill that would never get any Democrat support, I am really disappointed that I cannot seem to get the Republicans to move this to the floor.

John Sonderegger interviewed me and Scott Rupp (State Senator, MO District 2) on his show a couple of weeks ago. He asked Scott if he thought my bill had any chance of passing.  Scott* said "No.”  If the Legislature cannot get real estate tax relief on the ballot, the people can do it through the initiative petition process.

Would you like me to get you in touch with a list of people who may be interested in this issue?  It takes a lot more work for the citizens to get it on the ballot, but after my bitter experience with the legislators, this is probably the only way it will happen.

Cynthia *
----------------
*In conversing with Mrs Davis for this article, we arrived at the distinct impression that Senator Rupp was against the introduction and/or passage of her proposed real estate tax relief. In the interest of disclosure concerning our research for this article, we have not interviewed Sen. Rupp. Then again, according to Rep. Davis, Republican leadership has refused to allow a vote on her Bill.

ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL COMMENTARY:
RITEON WILL SHORTLY LAUNCH A TAX REVOLT INITIATIVE. IT IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT - SO WATCH FOR IT SOON!

Along with many, we thought that Republicans were the Party interested in lowering taxes. Many voters seem to believe that the label “Republican” means someone who favors lower taxes. As we can easily see, that doesn’t apply to the majority of Republicans in the State Legislature. If it did, they’d be eager to pass Rep. Davis’ tax relief proposals. We know Democrats will raise taxes so how does the besieged property owner obtain tax relief? The last paragraph of Mrs Davis’ message tells us what we must do!

With this in mind, it pays to recognize that lower, more tolerable property taxes that don’t drive people out of their neighborhoods and that citizens can live with, don’t exactly interest politicians whose election campaigns are supported by big money interests and large corporate developers!

STRAIGHT ABOUT OBAMA

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT:

HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MOSLEM, BLACK- WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF HIS AFRICAN ‘FAMILY. HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHIEST, WHITE- WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED HIM?

HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND WENT BACK TO HIS FAMILY IN KENYA. HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MOSLEM AND TOOK HIM  TO JAKARTA WHERE HE WAS SCHOOLED IN A MOSLEM SCHOOL

HIS MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE KANSAN GRANDPARENT. HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS, HOW?

HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER. HOW?

HE ‘WORKED’ AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO- HAS NEVER HELD A PRODUCTIVE JOB. THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST NOR IS IT SUBJECT TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES.

HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.

HE IS PROUD OF HIS ‘AFRICAN HERITAGE’ BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER GOT A WHITE GIRL PREGNANT AND DESERTED HER. I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SPERM CARRIED A ‘CULTURAL’ GENE. WHERE IS THE PRIDE IN HIS WHITE CULTURE?

HE GOES TO A ‘AFROCENTRIC’ CHURCH THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS PERCEIVED FAULTS AND THEN REPEATEDLY COVERS UP FOR THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH.

HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN, RIGHT!!!

YEAH, I THINK I SEE HOW HE COULD BE A UNITER AND BRING US TOGETHER, I THINK THAT HE HOPES NO ONE WILL PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER.

YOU THINK THE WAR IN IRAQ IS COSTING US TOO MUCH?

(Compare it to what terrorist and Iranian control of the Middle East and the loss of 60% of the world’s oil reserves would cost!...Does $6 gasoline, rationing, “trillions” of $ and a U.S. Economic depression come to mind? It should! ...Ed)

Read this:
Boy am I confused.  I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us at $125 Billion A Year... I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them (...and becomes informed!).  I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.

1.    $11  Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.   
2.    Verify at:  http://tinyurl.com/zob77 <http://tinyurl.com/zob77> 

2.  $2.2  Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food  stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
Verify at:  http://www.cis...org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html <http://www.cis...org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html> 

3.  $2.5  Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
Verify at:  http://www.cis...org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html <http://www.cis...org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html> 

(...continue with the another 9 points of cost by clicking on the link at the bottom of this section....)

The  total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A  YEAR.  Are we  THAT stupid?
----
…And talk about stupid…. What is the cost to America as the world watches a bunch of grandstanding, publicity seeking politicians schedule public hearings in order to call our most successful General a liar, a loser and a supporter of failed policies. All in public in the middle of a war! ...In the meanwhile they ignore the actual failed policies of controlling the borders while allowing America to be filled with drugs, crime and illegal aliens while they campaign for office to do more of the same! They publicly insult General Petraeus and even some Republican Senators pander to the radical Left because they have an uncontrollable desire for personal power and elected office, apparently at any cost!...

THE REAL GLOBAL WARMING EXPERTS ARE BEING IGNORED

(The following commentary was written as a response to a link to testimony in Congress made in 2001 on the subject of global warming.... We thank Regular Contributor M.D, of St Charles County, Missouri for the link.)
*************************
THE GLOBAL WARMING HOAX
We wholeheartedly agree with Dr Lindzen's testimony (see link below). However we see at least two problems. They are not related to the truth of his presentation before Congress because we believe he is accurately stating the facts but instead the problem he and many others have in getting the truth across is the manner in which they present the case.

http://www-eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen/Testimony/Senate2001.pdf

Two major problems we refer to are:
1. Dr Lindzen’s testimony is 7 years old.

2. The terminology of his truthful testimony on the issue is presented in a way that no ordinary citizen is likely to read it or understand it. This particular testimony has obviously made no headway with many politicians because Al Gore and his gang of believers have been winning the public perception ever since this prestigious testimony was given!

CLARIFICATION OF OUR VIEW:
Politicians, and that includes the current bunch running for office, are only interested in the perceptions, correct or incorrect, of those who vote and only then to the extent that it impacts an upcoming election. Ignoring the truth and supporting damaging policy is certainly not new to those in and seeking positions of power. One need go no further than the Federal Reserve, its money printing policies, Congress, their "bailout" proposals and their unwillingness to end the "earmark" scandals, among many other things, to see that clearly.

The proponents of the global warming hoax have done a masterful job in promoting the scam and have run a PR campaign that has thoroughly routed those relative few who understand that global warming is a hoax. That is the main and current problem.

With people like Gore running around collecting the Nobel Prize and making suckers out of a gullible public, as well as many qualified and unqualified climate scientists, and generating millions for their own pockets and that of elected officials, hardly anyone is going to disagree with the hogwash these global warming scam artists are selling. The upshot of it all is that whoever gets elected as President will be pushing a huge cost onto the American Taxpayer while at the same time punishing U.S. Industry and killing job formation. We are likely to get stuck with paying for a lot of phony and fictitious “science” because influential politicians and their gaggle of “hangers-on” are eagerly joining the bandwagon in order to pocket campaign and consultant money from people like Gore.

Unfortunately, all three Presidential candidates are espousing a "belief" in global warming and, as I have pointed out, it's because it has become a myth believed in by the general population. As for us, all we can do is continue to work at translating and publishing REAL scientific facts into a view that will find acceptance by the general public. The odds are pretty good, though, that Gore and his global warming cronies will continue making huge amounts of money on this because on this issue the advantage does not lie with the truth, it lies with the money!
