Birthright Citizenship v. Constiutional Citizenship

___The 14th Amendment is probably the most abused. It was enacted in 1868 to put the "rebellious southern states" in their place. On the basis of the Amendment citizenship is granted to anyone born in America (birthright citizenship). There is no written test or oath of exclusive allegiance to the United States of America and no other nation as with those who immigrate legally.

___The abuse is encountered when the phrase "and subject to the laws thereof" is ignored. If a person who is a "birthright citizen" commits a crime, then they should be stripped of any citizenship rights and immediately deported!

Is The American Voter Stupid?

___Professor Gruber is probably right. The American voter is stupid. I would probably say “ignorant” or “uninformed” because I would not want to damage the self esteem of anyone!

___Someone said that we should study history so that we would not repeat the errors of the past. Yet we fall for the class warfare and gender warfare and race warfare rhetoric again and again. The 16th amendment allowed the creation of an income tax. It was argued that only those with the top 5% of incomes would actually pay the tax and that the top rate would only be 7%. It is argued that women make only nn% of the salary of men. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 required that there be equal pay for equal jobs if skills and experience of the employees were also equal. It is argued that black people must be given an advantage in hiring and promotion because of abuses against ancestors in the past. We celebrate a national holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. He said that he had a dream that all people would be treated equally regardless of the color of their skin. He stressed the content of their character instead. The race activists like Jackson, Sharpton and even AG Holder undercut his teaching and leadership.

___We have a mulatto President who claims to be black. Speaker John Boehner has darker skin. We do not know much about Barry, because his records are sealed. His Attorney General controls access to all legal records of the President. We do know that he was a practicing Muslim from age 6 to 10 while attending school in Indonesia. We do know that he was a “Jeremiah Wright” christian for at least 20 years.

___The President likes to do things behind close doors like PPACA and the U.S.-Iran nuclear treaty. In both cases we are told to wait for the finished product before commenting. The Prime Minister of Israel is not included even though Iran has openly threatened to annihilate his country. Netanyahu reminds us that Iran is a “security” problem for America and a “survival” problem for Israel.

Have You Been Funding Terrorism?

___On Monday, a federal jury in New York found the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) liable for supporting six terrorist acts in Israel more than a decade ago. They were ordered to pay families of their victims three times $218.5million since it was terrorism.

___Since you have been in Congress since 2001 and have supported giving American taxpayer funds to the PA and PLO by voting for many Continuing Resolutions and budgets, have you not been funding terrorism? The U.S. Antiterrorism Act has been law since 1992. If you have voted to support known terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood, then you have been funding terrorism – at my expense!

Secretary HHS on Subsidy Case Before SCOTUS

___Secretary Burwell says that it is not fair for people in one state to get a taxpayer subsidy and people in another state to be denied the subsidy. The problem is the PPACA law. It says Federal subsidies may only be paid to people in states which set up state exchanges.

___The Obama administration has been paying the subsidies illegally despite the clear wording of the law. The President and his Democrat-controlled Congress passed the law in 2010. Surely by now they have read what they enacted and know they are acting illegally. You may not pass a law and change the provisions at will!

Central Banks Will Usher in the One World Government

Central banks have cut interest rates to below zero. The longer such conditions persist, the greater the risk of perverse consequences.

The "Separation of Church and State"

___Congress [435 Representatives in the House; 100 Senators in the Senate] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion [state religion like Church of England], or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. [United States Constitution, 1789]

___The General Assembly [124 Representatives in the House; 46 Senators in the Senate] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion [state religion] or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government or any department thereof for a redress of grievances. [SC Constitution, SECTION 2. Religious freedom; freedom of speech; right of assembly and petition, 1970]

___In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), Justice Hugo Black wrote: "In the words of Thomas Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect a wall of separation between church and state."

___A text without a context is a pretext! Thomas Jefferson was assuring the Danbury Baptists that the Federal government had no intention of interfering in their free exercise of religion:

Messrs. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, and Stephen s. Nelson

A Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association, in the State of Connecticut.

Washington, January 1, 1802

Gentlemen,--The affectionate sentiment of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist Association, give me the highest satisfaction. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, and in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature would "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect and esteem.

Th Jefferson Jan. 1. 1802

Pro-Amnesty Folks Lied in 1986 About Enforcing Immigration Laws, Why Trust Them Now?

___In 1986 a Democrat Congress got an amnesty for illegal aliens by promising an immigration bill with strong enforcement. They lied! About 3 million illegals were granted amnesty. Little if anything was done to punish employers if they hired illegals. Little if anything was done to prevent citizens' money from being spent on illegals.

___We are a compassionate nation, but we are a nation of 320 million. The world has about 7,000 million, most wanting what the American idea has provided for citizens. We have a written Constitution which is the basis of our rule of law. We must protect and defend that law.
