Government Health Policies for Ebola

The policies of the government involving Ebola and other diseases are stupid! The last thing that the United States needs is to introduce diseases which have no cure and are 70% fatal.

The major problem is centered in West Africa. Only 350 miles to the west are the Cape Verde Islands. The entire planet should subsidize a modern medical facility on one of the islands which can be used to isolate the victims from all over the world and tightly control their treatment. This plan was used by the Kingdom of Hawaii in the 19th century to isolate lepers on the island of Molokai.

Over a century ago Ellis Island was used as a screening area for immigrants coming to America. Current day immigrants should also be screened for serious medical conditions. Illnesses which kill millions each year worldwide are not seen here because the diseases have been eridicated. We are again vulnerable to new strains of old diseases and previously unseen diseases.

The TV series “The Last Ship” presents the situation clearly with a deadly virus killing billions worldwide while a lab on the ship is feverishly seeking a cure. There are even elites within the government who sieze the cure once it is found and determine who is worthy of receiving it – and you thought eugenics was dead!

The Center for Disease Control has a vested interest in bringing Ebola patients to the United States. They are already asking for budget increases to “fight this crisis.” We need to prohibit to the greatest extent possible deadly bacteria and viruses from our land.

Women in Islam and Christianity

In Islam, rape of a woman is essentially legal under Sharia. In court, a woman's testimony is worth half as much as that of a man. The victim must produce four witnesses who were present and observed the rape. If the rape is not proved, then the woman may be stoned to death for adultery. Consider the spread of STDs, HIV/AIDS and Ebola in Islamic countries.

Polygamy is acceptable. Muhammed had nine wives and numerous concubines. A man may divorce his wife by declaring: “I divorce you.” A temporary marriage (ie for 3 days) is acceptable.

Circumcision is required for both men and women. Female circumcision is designed to diminish a woman's sexual response, so that she will be less likely to committ adultery.

In current Christianity women are special. God created Eve as a help-mate for Adam. Sex was and should be a blessing within the context of marriage. Rape is a capital crime.

While the man is designated the head of the wife, the context is as Jesus is head of the Church. Husbands are to love their wives as Jesus loved the Church and gave himself for her. Being willing to die a cruel death for her does not describe a domineering man.

Kings David and Solomon were both polygamists. They wrote Psalms and Proverbs lamenting and repenting for their bad decisions. Solomon as a young man describes an intimate and steamy love for his wife. He wrote Ecclesiastes late in life. The theme is that worldly things that men cherish in life are meaningless in the end.

Circumcision of males is practiced within Judaism and among Christians, but there are valid health reasons for the practice.

Research Requested on Historical Topics

In 1860 the northern states were using tariffs to create a business advantage over foreign competitors. With a 22M to 7M population advantage, the northern states controlled national tariff policy. The southern states were forced to send raw resources, like cotton, to northern manufacturers and buy the finished goods from northern stores. This is similar to the situation in 1770 between England and her colonies.

In 1962 Russian ships were enroute to Cuba with missiles which could be used to attack the United States. In 1861 Lincoln sent ships to resupply a United States fort in Charleston harbor. Fort Sumter threatened shipping in and out of this Confederate States of America port. It was attacked and surrendered.

The Great Depression was ended by the pent-up demand due to rationing and the full employment created by World War II. The United States made tanks, airplanes, ships and jeeps instead of washers, dryers, cars and other durable goods. The forced savings caused by rationing made money available to buy the durable goods, and the end of the war allowed a “full-speed” manufacturing sector to easily transition from war machines to home machines.

Administrative law is being used instead of Constitutional law to take control of the United States. This began innocently with the Interstate Commerce Commission in the 19th century, but so many regulations are created by so many Executive agencies that rules with the force of law exist without input from the peoples' representatives in Congress. See hillsdale.edu/Imprimis (September 2014).

I am unable to write research/white papers on these topics, however I can pay a reasonable amount for one or more.

The Irresponsible and Deceitful House of Representatives

Joe Wilson is in his seventh term in the U.S. Congress. He is infamous for yelling “You lie!” during President Obama's 2009 State of the Union speech. He was correct. The President was lying to a TV audience of millions worldwide.

Heritage Action rated Wilson in the low 90s several years ago on their scorecard. He now ranks 71. He differs on the following:

Farm and Food Stamps of $1Trillion;Y

Limit Crop Insurance Subsidies to farmers with AGI < $250,000;N

Reduce Dept of Energy funding by $1.5Billion;N

Supported Ryan-Murry spending increase;Y

$1.1Trillion Omnibus Spending bill;Y

Farm Bill Conference Report;Y

Study Feminist History Museum;Y

OPIC re-authorization (African electrification);Y

Increased spending for water resources development;Y

$10.8Billion bailout of Highway Transit;Y

Miller-Sanders Veterans bill;Y

Temporary government spending (CR) through 11 December 2014; Export/Import Bank reauthorized through 30 June 2015 (HJR 124);Y

Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners;N

House Transportation Empowerment (HR 3486).N

If you are not familiar with any of the above and why Joe voted against us, then go to:

HeritageAction/Scorecard

and select SC and Joe Wilson. Note that our senior Senator (Graham) now ranks 49.

Congress gets the “President's Budget” around March. The House Budget Committee then begins studying it and should write the 13 specific appropriations bills which authorize the spending. To wait until the final weeks of the fiscal year and pass a CR instead is irresponsible, yet this is probably the twentieth CR that Joe has voted on. He voted YES on most. He has favored reauthorizing the Export/Import Bank and signed a letter to that effect. This is a 1934 New Deal program which is illegal. It is unfortunate that The Law, the United States Constitution, is not enforced by those sworn to do so!

Please show your displeasure with Joe Wilson and Lindsey Graham on 4 November! Please write-in Mike Stake (Chairman, Aiken County TEA Party) and Richard Cash (17% in AC primary).

P.S. Joe – You Lie!

Top 10 Only in America Questions

Think about it. It might be funny if you heard these in a Comedy Club. I did say "might".

Number 10) Only in America .. could a President talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate campaign fund-raising event.

Number 9) Only in America .. could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a "black" President (well, okay, half black), a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. And 40%+ of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics.

Number 8) Only in America ... could the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the former head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), both turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Number 7) Only in America .. can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media - and the Administration - primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Number 6) Only in America .. would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens (probably should be number one).

Number 5) Only in America ... could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as extremists.

Number 4) Only in America .. could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote. This one is a real joke. The States who want to do this will provide a free ID to those who don't drive or have another form of ID, yet the DoJ says it discriminates.

Number 3) Only in America .. could people demand the government investigate whether or not oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

Number 2) Only in America could a country collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year (for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE), and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

And Number 1) Only in America could the rich people (who pay 86% of all income taxes) be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Liberty Amendments for Convention of States

Mark Levin has an entire book justifying these. Please read the book!:

1) Term Limits: He proposes limiting service in both the House and Senate to 12 years. Yes, we’ve heard all the arguments about elections being the best limit. But the past 100 years has proven that to be false. As someone who works day and night to throw the bums out, I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to throw them out with the amount of money they raise – precisely for their abuses of power. Levin also proves that limiting time in office was a highly regarded proposal during the Constitutional Congress.

2) Repealing the 17th Amendment: Levin proposes repealing the 17th amendment and vesting state legislators with the power to elect senators so that the power of states is not diluted, as originally feared by the framers of the Constitution.

3) Restoring the Judiciary to its proper role: The Judiciary was never meant to be an all-powerful institution in which five men in robes have the final say over every major policy battle in the country. In order to end judicial tyranny, Levin proposes limiting service to one 12-year term, and granting both Congress and the state legislatures the authority to overturn court decisions with the vote of three-fifths of both houses of Congress or state legislative bodies.

4) Limiting Taxation and Spending: Levin proposes a balanced budget amendment, limiting spending to 17.5% of GDP and requiring a three-fifths vote to raise the debt ceiling. He also proposes limiting the power to tax to 15% of an individual’s income, prohibiting other forms of taxation, and placing the deadline to file one’s taxes one day before the next federal election.

5) Limiting bureaucracy: He proposes an amendment to limit and sunset federal regulations and subject the existence of all federal departments to stand-alone reauthorization bills every three years.

6) Defining the Commerce Clause: Levin writes an amendment that, while technically unnecessary, is practically an imperative to restoring the original intent of the Commerce Clause. The amendment would make it clear that the commerce clause grants not power to actively regulate and control activity; rather to prevent states from impeding commerce among other states, as Madison originally intended.

7) Limiting Federal power to take private property

8) Allowing State Legislature to Amend the Constitution: Although the Framers intentionally made it difficult to amend the Constitution, they did so to preserve the Republic they created. However, the progressives have illegally altered our Republic through a silent and gradual coup without using the amendment process. If we are going to successfully push the aforementioned amendments, we will need an easier mechanism to force them through. The proposed amendment allows states to bypass Congress and propose an amendment with support of just two-thirds of the states (instead of three-fourths) and without convening a convention.

9) State Authority to Override Congress: A proposed amendment to allow states to override federal statutes by majority vote in two-thirds of state legislatures. The last two proposals are rooted in the idea that the states only agreed to the Constitution on condition that their power would not be diluted and that all federal power is derived from the states.

10) Protecting the Vote: A proposal to require photo ID for all federal elections and limit early voting.

Violent Rioters and the Ku Klux Klan

The violent rioters and looters in Ferguson, Missouri are legitimizing past actions of the Ku Klux Klan - which most would probably condemn. These opportunistic, racist thugs are criminals in hiding waiting for a convenient crisis.
