New Resistance Required To Be Freemen

 

Considering that the House of Representatives’ vote for the speakership comes up Tuesday a reminder as to what is at stake can be made to us all. The House of Representatives can stop the wannabe deity and sovereign rule of Obama, if they care to. Things look pretty grim when newly elected Mia Love is already, so shortly after an outstanding conservative victory in the recent midterms, talking about reelecting the current speaker.

It is up to us.

Call your Representatives and remind them today 202-224-3121 of your expectations and their vote.

Let us allow our first President, George Washington be our voice today as he was that day in 1776 to the continental army before the battle of Long Island:

The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die”

One must accept here that today’s liberalism is the antithesis of freedom; for if we today’s brave resistance, the new resistance, accept the oppression of one set of people for the benefit of others, then we do not have freedom at all.

Dare then to pray and ask God for his help and then ask your earthly representatives for theirs.

Springfield Commissioner Bob Layden with some of the rally participants

A crowd of well over a thousand stretched along the north side of Baltimore Pike in Springfield, Pa. from  Bishop Avenue to past West Avenue this afternoon, Jan. 4, to let police know they were appreciated. They held signs featuring a thin blue line across a black ground. Some wore shirts saying “all lives mattered.”  Motorists honked their horn in support and gave thumbs up. A quad-copter drone flew overhead, presumably recording the event.

The mood was festive and all seemed in a good mood. Springfield Police Chief Joseph Daly walked through the crowd shaking hands. New 26th District State Sen. Tom McGarrigle was on hand as were Springfield commissioners including Bob Layden of the 6th Ward.

The rally was the idea  of Amanda Viglione, a Delaware County deputy sheriff, and organized by herself and Bill Ruane of Clifton Heights.

It was in response to riots and demonstrations inspired by the deaths of Michael Brown on Aug. 9 in Feguson, Mo. and Eric Garner on July 17 in New York City during attempts to take them into custody.

Demonstrably false but inflammatory claims were made regarding police behavior which were spread uncorrected by news media and public figures. The hate this caused for those who wear the badge  resulted in the deaths of at least two officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, who were executed, Dec. 20, while they sat in their car in New York City. The hate-filled coward who murdered them took his own life soon afterwards.

Dark Money Excuse For Power Grab

Jon Cassidy at Watchdog.org has an article explaining how state laws seeking to expose the rich donors of political causes are being used to stifle local activism.

He cites as an example  a community group in Colorado that was sued under such a “dark money” law for opposing the annexation of a neighborhood by a larger community.

The community group consisted of about a half-dozen neighbors and spent about $1,000 for yard signs and literature.

Karen Sampson, the woman who organized the group, fought the suit and won with a federal court declaring the law unconstitutional. It took four years, though, and the Democrat-controlled Colorado legislature has failed to bring the law into line with the court ruling.

“I’m ashamed to say, that if I’d known we would be sued, and now knowing how absurd Colorado’s campaign finance laws are, I would think twice about getting involved in an issue ballot,” Ms. Sampson said.

The Colorado law requires any two people who spent $200, or 30 percent of their budget, on an issue appearing on a ballot had to register as a political committee and comply with the complex web of regulations meant for political pros, Cassidy says.

It’s just one more thing to keep your eye and to fight if you love freedom.

France Hates Jews

Reader Tom C sent us this link to a FrontPageMag.com article regarding France’s strange Dec. 30 vote in support of a United Nation’s resolution calling for Israel to withdraw to its indefensible 1967 borders.

The resolution did not get the required nine votes and hence failed, sparing the U.S. from having to cast a veto.

Still, there was no reason for the French to have voted aye. Note they voted aye. They didn’t simply abstain as five other nations did.

The article notes Jews are fleeing the country in droves and that France had  antisemitism even when it didn’t have a significant Muslim population.

Tyler Vigen Correlation Charts Margarine Consumption Maine Divorce

It has been discovered that there is almost a perfect correlation (.992558) of per capita consumption of margarine in the United States with the divorce rate in Maine.

And did you know that the correlation between the number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets with revenue generated by American skiing facilities is .969?

Pretty spooky.

And let us not even try to consider the strange connection between swimming-pool drowning deaths and Nicolas Cage movies.

Kudos to Tyler Vigen  for the noble effort to show that correlation does not equal causation.

Good New Year’s News

Matthew Brouillette of Commonwealth Foundation informs us that for the first time in seven years new charter school applications  — there are 40 of them — are under review in Philadelphia.

This gives a bit of hope to those poor kids stuck on waiting lists.

He notes that in October, legislation was passed in October allowing thousands of more kids to attend a school of their parents choice.

You think school choice is bad thing? Then just imagine if you had to use the supermarket/electrician/lawyer/doctor the government picked for you.

School choice is a good thing just as being able to choose your supermarket its.

Brouillette also tells us some not-so-good New Year’s news. Seven Pennsylvania government union PACs have shoveled $7.6  million to candidates in 2013-14. This is an increase of 53 percent in just two years.

Brouillette notes that this money comes from dues collected at taxpayer expense as per a corrupt law.
