I got this email today. It is short amd succinct, but it drives home the message and gives you an opportunity to do something about it to regain a little power. As my girl Laura would say, "Pwer to the People!"

email:

Folks, if you're angry that a Congressional subcommittee rejected legislation for oil drilling, here are your contacts http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/cgi-bin/newcommittee.cgi?site=ctc&lang=&commcode=happrop_interior.

All Republicans said YES. All Democrats said NO.

Moral of the story: Democrats don't want domestic drilling. It is the party of communists and George Soros. They want to bring down the country. Republicans are not a whole lot better but they don't want the nation in the gutter like the lib Dems. Feel free to call or fax the Democrats on this subcommittee if you're fed up with high oil prices. And spread the word. We must at least get rid of the Democrats in Congress. Thanks.

The Patriot Post
Founders' Quote Daily

"We have heard of the impious doctrine in the old world, that
the people were made for kings, not kings for the people. Is
the same doctrine to be revived in the new, in another shape -
that the solid happiness of the people is to be sacrificed to
the views of political institutions of a different form? It is
too early for politicians to presume on our forgetting that the
public good, the real welfare of the great body of the people, is
the supreme object to be pursued; and that no form of government
whatever has any other value than as it may be fitted for the
attainment of this object."

-- James Madison (Federalist No. 45)

Leave it up to a California High School principal to make a liberal ruling on the flag, right? WRONG! Take heart, my fellow Americans. For, even in Academia, there still seems to be a struggling band of conservatives…even in California! Yes, they are small and struggling, but they are also bold and determined!

Now to the story, as told by the never-liberal Associated Press. According to the article, there was quite a raucous caused when the students who run the student body newspaper at Shasta High School, chose, as the front page of its final edition for the year, a picture of a student holding a burning American flag.

The first thought that really came to my mind when I read about this was, “where are all the patriotic kids?” Man, if that had happened in my high school, in my day, somebody would have taken a beating. Now, I’m not suggesting that should happen here. I am simply pointing out the change in loyalty that has occurred over the past twenty years.

I am happy to say, however, that the principled principal (can you tell I like saying that?) has laid down the law with these sad, confused young souls. He has not really taken a kinder, gentler approach to the situation. He has, as Barney Fife would say, nipped it in the bud. Nipped it, nipped it, nipped it.

Shasta High School Principal Milan Woollard said the newspaper “was embarrassing.” He also said that “the paper’s done…[T]here’s not going to be a school-run newspaper next year.”

One of the graduating seniors at Redding High School, Connor Kennedy, said in a phone interview as reported by the AP, “"I'm deeply saddened, and I find it terribly ironic a high school newspaper would be shut down for exercising free speech — particularly when the curriculum being taught was that this was free speech.”

Well, Mr. Kennedy, it amazes me to no end how kids today think they can just take whatever Constitutional liberties which apply to ADULTS in this country and twist them to fit whatever irrational thoughts may be running through their heads.

I personally find this to be a disgusting, repulsive act. And as I have said, had it happened when I was in high school, I feel pretty confident the two sides (if there even was another side) would be squaring off in the parking lot.

You are in a CONTROLLED, SCHOOL SETTING! You are not out with the stoners on a Friday night. The school has every right to deem what it considers to be appropriate and what it deems inappropriate. And if it were up to me, I would have the guilty parties hand-sewing American flags after school for detention for the next year’s first semester.

And parents, I hope you are proud of what your kids are becoming. You have raised your kids to believe that the best way to change something he/she doesn’t like about the greatest nation on the face of the Earth is to desecrate the one symbol that means more to true Americans than any other…Old Glory.

As for Principal Woollard, if you are worried about how the school board might come down on him…don’t be. Said he, “Eliminating the paper had been an option before it published the flag photo because the school expects to get less state funding next year and needs to save money.”

The students' decision to showcase flag burning ‘cements the decision’ to pull funding from the newspaper, he said.”

Score one for the good guys!

So, it would appear that we FINALLY have all the primary garbage out of the way. I honestly don’t know why we mess around with all this primary election junk anyway. I mean, let’s face it, if you’ve ever been a Southern Baptist Minister who sympathizes with illegal aliens, and has done much of the executive work required as a governor, please be seated. Also, if you are a strong Christian Conservative who happens to be a former Senator-turned-actor-turned-back-into-politician, and you still have not lost your moral compass, AND if you reject the outright amnesty for illegals, AND you are Pro Life,
you really need to sit down!

Also, if you are a millionaire, have vast experience at successfully running large corporations, are pro-life, pro-gun, anti-illegalization, belong to some fruitcake religion and tried to hide that by saying that we are all God’s children; that we all have an obligation to build one another up. And, the last straw, if you too have executive experience at running an economically large state…I implore you to sit down before the other candidates fall over in inadequacy,

However, if you are a man from Chicago who spent part of his formative years in a Muslim madrassa, please rise. If you are a man who has spent roughly twenty years in the congregation of a church where the doctrine of the pulpit was that “whitey” was/is the reason for your “oppression,” and that “the man” has been holding you back for hundreds of years, stand--no…LEAP--up and scream Hallelujah!

If you are a black man who has made it a point to include white “token” spiritual advisors in your camp, only to one day discover the “horror” of the fact that that white catholic priest is even more racially divisive and more disrespectful to the country who has given him such great opportunity, who has given him so much to love about his homeland, than the black preacher, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, ever thought of.

To have those who you have trusted as friends, allies, and political as well as spiritual advisors reveal for the first time in twenty years their true feelings about white folk, and the true way in which they view their own government. Not as one of compassion, but as one who could and, to some of your esteemed colleagues did, plan and execute an attack on our homeland and our brothers and sisters; our fellow Americans.

If you are a man who, after twenty years of sitting in the pew of the same church hearing the same vile spewed weekly, but never noticing that it happened, also sat in the U.S. Senate only a mere two years, but think that qualifies you to be president, please rise…we want you!

And just missing out on the Democrat’s side, and I mean just barely, we have Sen. Clinton. She had just about all the same prospects that her opponent had, except she may have had a few more years’ practice on how to cover your trails.I think she would have done a much better job at that. Outside of that, I don’t want either of those jokers answering “the phone” at 3:00 a.m. Not the man who wants to allow babies who survive abortion to actually lay in a garbage bag unattended, left to die. No, I don’t want that kind of cruelty running my country.

And no, not the woman who wants spend millions of dollars to hand out condoms in our federal penitentiaries to try and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. For those that haven’t heard, ABSTINENCE, especially I lockdown, is the best way to avoid diseases like AIDS.

I’m not comfortable with either Democrat wanting to make a book about homosexuality acceptable, and possibly MANDATORY for second graders. It’s wrong, and I simply disagree with it.

So, now that we have our two clear major contenders, I figured the shells would soon be flying. I might as well get in on the opening salvos, right?

Sorry it ahs taken me so long to get back, but I have been crazy busy.

Please remember my book, now available at http://www.51756.authorworld.com/.

Thanks,
Mike
