   Interpol no longer subject to U.S. Constitution

   Interpol no longer subject to U.S. Constitution The head of a civil liberties organization is concerned about an executive order signed by President OBama last month which allows an international law enforcement agency to have jurisdiction in the United States without being subject to the U.S. Constitution. In June 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12425, recognizing the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) as an international organization with certain privileges and immunities afforded to diplomats. But Reagan structured his executive order to ensure that Interpol -- like every other law enforcement agency in the United States -- w…

   Supreme Court rejects limits on corporate spending in electoral campaigns

   The court split 5 to 4 over the ruling, with its conservative members in the majority. "When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought," the court said in a decision written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. "This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves." The decision upends the court's precedent that corporations may not use their profits to support or oppose candidates, and it rejects a large portion of the so-called McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act th…

   Scott Brown wins. Seems like a miracle. That Ted Kennedy would die and this man would come from 30 points down to win a special election on the one year anniversary of OBama's swearing in. The timing is also perfect to kill health care, cap and trade, etc etc. Is this win a result of the "Direct Intervention of God?"

   http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100119/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_military_weapons_bible_passages There's also a video link on the upper left corner of that page. Summary: Trijicon, a defense contractor in Michigan that manufactures rifle scopes for the military, has been hiding Bible verse references in their scopes serial stamps for the past 30 years. People have found out, and are calling for the US to end their contract with them, suggesting it could upset the locals that so called "Jesus rifles" are being used to kill Muslims. I have a solution to this: Get out of the Middle East. PrOBlem solved. Also, Trijicon isn't the only company that hides biblical references in…

    Arizona decides to close most state parks When will both our state congressmen, and federal congress men, our governors, our president, realize we are in hard times and we cannot spend out way out of it? Seems to me, what President OBama has done, has not helped, and its still going south.

    Praying for Godly results

    Yesterday the President announced he would propose a fee (tax) on the largest banks with over 50 billion in assets. This is to repay the the debt from TARP funds loaned to bail them out. Many of us have been praying for God to intercede in our government's decisions and cause them to make God honoring decisions. This is a small step but, it could have easily been swayed to fall on the backs of we the people. I didn't say we would ever see the money returned to us as individuals but, it may keep them from digging deeper into our pockets for a moment. I'm going to give God the glory for this decision. We are having an impact on our government through petitions to our Go…

    Republican has a chance at Ted Kennedy's former Senate seat "If Brown were to pull off an upset, it is possible that state officials would not certify the victory in time for him to affect the healthcare debate, unless that slips into next month." No doubt, the democrats would do everything to block him if elected, but if she is elected they will break their backs trying to get her into position.

    Not So Private Property?: Florida Man Takes Eminent Domain Case to High Court

    As much as 40 percent of all land in the United States is already under some form of government control or ownership -- 800 million to 900 million acres out of America's total 2.2 billion acres. The government now appears poised to wield greater control over private property on a number of fronts. The battle over private property rights has intensified since 2005, when the Supreme Court ruled in the Kelo v. City of New London case that the government could take property from one group of private landowners and give it to another. Outraged over that ruling and a series of recent efforts by government to wield greater control over private property, citizens are fighting…

C-SPAN CEO to Democrats: Televise the Health Care Reform Negotiations C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb last week wrote to Congressional leaders asking that they "open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage" as the House and Senate work to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate health care reform bills. ABC News Jake Tapper: I asked White House press secretary ROBert Gibbs if president would take this final opportunity to open up the doors for this last negotiation.

    California Requests Billions From U.S. "SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asked for $6.9 billion in federal funds in his state-budget proposal Friday and warned that state health and welfare programs would be threatened without the emergency help" All he is ONLY asking for is $6.9 billion, asking this of a government that is neck deep in debt. Seems California needs to learn to live within their means just as our men and women in Washington need to do as well.
