LEAVWORLD: GRAFFITI POLITTI

Crossposted from STOP THE ACLU: The NY Times continues in their quest to leak out our methods to our enemies. The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering. The CIA has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say. Banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions receiving the letters usually have turned over documents voluntarily, allowing investigators to examine the financial assets and transactions of American military personnel and civilians, officials say. Notice that the leaked information claims that it was hundreds, not thousands, of people suspected of terrorism or espionage. This seems to me to lean towar...

Crossposted from NANCI B , one of my freinds on Gather.com : We have to face it folks. The new Democrat Congress does NOT want to hear from the people. They are tired of us sending them emails because a Grass Roots Lobbying Organization has called, written or emailed us to tell us of an issue that they think will be of concern to us. I have seen info posted on Gather as a result of these Grassroots orgs on issues ranging from family values to the environment; to the political process itself, and to illegal immigration. Grassroots lobbying is the ONLY way we the people can sort through all of the legislation and then let our elected representatives know what we think on a particular issue. To quote Carly Simon: "That's the way I've always heard it should be." It doesn't matter if your issue is Gay Rights or Global Warming, CONGRESS WANTS TO SHUT US OUT OF THE PROCESS. How? By making the reporting requirements for Grassroots Lobbying Groups so onerous that many will...

Crossposted from STOP THE ACLU , written by Jay, who's being deployed to Qatar for four months, so it will be his last writing here for some time. Good luck, Jay! You're a great American! Here's his post: I just finished reading Indefensible: 10 Ways The ACLU Is Destroying America by Sam Kastensmidt. I highly recommend it for everyone. The book covers most of our own top ten reasons to stop the ACLU , however much more extensively. It covers everything the ACLU stands for. From the agenda of silencing the churches and abortion to the sexualization of children ...the book covers it in excellent detail. There have been many great books written on the ACLU. Most focus on the social and religious issues that are under attack. Alan Sears' book, ACLU Vs. America, focused on mainly on these issues, however it did touch upon how the ACLU attacks our soverignty. This book, Indefensible, also focuses on the social issues, but I was happy to see that it devoted an entire chapt...

I don't get it. I read all kinds of posts and comments on Gather making the point that gay marriage is a "civil right," based on love for a "same sex" partner. They claim that as a "minority," homosexual marriage should co-exist with "traditional" marriage, as it was accepted throughout human history. Wait, that's not actually correct. Marriage has always been between a man and a woman, but men were, and still are allowed in many cultures, to have more than one wife (who has to be female, by the way). Polygamy was outlawed in the US a long time ago, but what do we tell the newest emerging sexual minority, the bisexuals? They want to fall in love with one person of each sex, and have the other two fall in love with each other (or do they?). This is a family unit that the state should be forced to recognize, under any conceivable (even bogus) premise, if one follows the liberals' logic. Here's where the polygamists come in. They cou...

I'm a big fan of the National Center for Public Policy Research , and have a link to their blog on my blogroll. Here's a roundup of some of their latest dispatches: Letting Medicare 'Negotiate' Drug Prices: Myths vs. Reality Letting Medicare negotiate drug prices means putting price controls on prescription drugs. It also would mean higher health insurance costs for the private sector, less pharmaceutical research and development, fewer new drugs and lower quality of life for Americans. Go here . Do Minimum Wage Increases Benefit Workers and the Economy? The Left contends that minimum wage increases benefit the economy, but the job-killing effect of higher mandatory minimum wages is well documented. Go here .

Crossposted from STOP THE ACLU Judge Roy Moore makes a New Years Resolution that I'm definitely on board with. Each year the American Civil Liberties Union and other liberal organizations continue their efforts to destroy traditional values that we once assumed were self-evident and beyond question. And each year we sit quietly by doing nothing to stop their relentless assault on our culture and our religious heritage. As our resolution for the New Year, let us join together to defeat the ACLU's anti-Christian agenda and restore our civil and religious freedom. Most definitely the ACLU's attack on religious freedom is one of many good reasons we should resolve to join together and fight back. We have a whole list of other good reasons. The damage the ACLU has done to our National Security , the War on Terror , and our National Soverignty are at the top of my personal list. There are many reasons to stop the ACLU's agenda, but what people need to know is how. Everyone...
