Via the ACLU we find out the U.S. government is finally being proactive against the ACLU in protecting classified information from being leaked for our enemies to know.
The American Civil Liberties Union today announced that it has asked a federal judge to quash a grand jury subpoena demanding that it turn over to the FBI "any and all copies" of a December 2005 government document in its possession.more...
The ACLU called the subpoena, served on November 20 by the U.S. Attorney's office in New York, a transparent attempt to intimidate government critics and suppress informed criticism and reporting.
"The government's attempt to suppress information using the grand jury process is truly chilling and is unprecedented in law and in the ACLU's history," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. "This subpoena serves no legitimate investigative purpose and tramples on fundamental First Amendment rights. We recognize this maneuver for what it is: a patent attempt to intimidate and impede the work of human rights advocates like the ACLU who seek to expose government wrongdoing."
The three-and-a-half page document, issued in December 2005, is marked "Secret" and apparently is classified. The ACLU received the document, unsolicited, on October 23, 2006.

You there, peon, keep working now because although they and their pals in the press seem to forget, in order for government to give away billions, they first have to take away from someone who actually worked for it. Yup, that's you and I. Get ready for the massive tax increases in 2007. The state of NC is likely to add a billion or so, the city of Charlotte is looking at a few hundred million, and the federal government is going to need at least $100 billion more.
Well, those of you who voted Democrat, this is what you get. Back to work, slave. The government needs more.

Currently it is legal for a person in a motor vehicle to see to a child's needs and take them out of the car seat -- for example, in the back of a van if something falls underneath a child, you can pick the child up and then put them back. Under the new proposed laws, you will go to jail for at least 5 years if you do that.
What should the laws be? There should be zero laws forcing people to use child seats, period. They're stupid, anti-freedom laws. In fact, in all likelihood, these proposed laws won't be passed because it has the potential to reduce revenue to the state -- because that's the primary purpose of the child-seat laws to begin with.
What's really sad is that the primary discussion about this law will be the financial impact on the state -- rather than what government should care about: freedom.

Oh yes. When I get a new cell phone, I think I must absolutely have one of these. Strangely enough, I found it while searching for security items. Unfortunately, The Boss won't let me use the 120VAC power line to ensure no one steals my stuff again...

Why our Political Leaders Should Embrace the FairTax Plan
by John DeJong of NotMeUSA.com
The Fair Tax Plan (HR.25/S.25) has been out for well over a year now and yet there are still many people who have never even heard of it. One would think that a plan as bold and beneficial as this would be sounded from one coast to the next. Yet that is not the case. As a point of fact there are many liberal political leaders who continually ridicule the Fair Tax Plan whenever it is mentioned. They’re acting under the misguided belief that this wonderful plan favors the “rich”. That is the farthest from the truth as one can come.

Government, stay the hell out of things that you don't understand. And yes, that's pretty much everything. Morons, the lot of them.

Well it seems the news is that more illegal alien criminal invaders are whining that their parents are being taken away. The one holding this sign is 26 years old. She's complaining about the Swift and Co Processing plants that hired criminals who had broken immigration laws and committed fraud. So they whine that these criminals shouldn't be arrested because it's Christmas. Well, I have a sign for these people:
Michelle Malkin correctly notes that nothing will be done to these criminals -- the employees or the employer.

Yes, folks, when you read next year about the tax increases across the state -- at the city, county, and state level because they simply don't have enough, keep in mind they gave Robeson Little Theatre $1,800. Why? Because they wanted it, not because they earned it, or because any citizens wanted to give them the money. American Indians Mothers, Inc. got $2,000 of cash that you worked for. How long did you have to work to earn $2,000? The American Indian Mothers didn't work at all, they just put their hand out and government threw money at them.
Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

That tell me that I'm not in the minority. If most people wanted to follow the Democrat path to complete and total surrender and Dhimmitude, there would be much confidence in Supreme Ruler Pelosi -- since there is not, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the majority are with me in my thinking:
America, acting alone and with overwhelming force, must destroy the Iranian Islamic State now.
We just have no confidence that either Bush or the Democrats will do what truly needs to be done.

Understanding the impact of illegal immigration does not depend on accepting partisan opinions. It is just the result of doing some simple math.
In a previous article, Illegals Deadlier Than War On Terror, we compared the numbers of United States citizens killed by illegal aliens to the tally of our troops killed in the war on terror. In response to that article, one of our readers wrote asking whether we had seen the video produced by NumbersUSA titled Immigration by the Numbers. He asked, “I wonder how accurate it is?”
This widely distributed video uses gumballs in a jar to visually demonstrate the impact of numbers that increase exponentially rather than linearly. These are mathematical concepts that are immediately meaningful to folk with a technical background, but may be harder to understand for others. The answer to our readerÂ’s question is that the video IS accurate. It is not based on partisan opinion. It is just a very graphic illustration of an algebraic equation.
You can view a clip from the video here. Roy Beck of NumbersUSA is not depending on any esoteric data. HeÂ’s just doing the math, based on the US Census numbers, which actually grossly UNDERESTIMATE the number of illegals in the United States.

Economists say an overhaul is needed or else the General Assembly will have to keep raiding trust funds and raising taxes to balance the state budget. Local governments argue that they'll have to keep driving up property taxes to pay for Medicaid, transportation and school construction needs.
In other words, there's absolutely no concept of fiscal discipline in NC state government. No one will ever consider for a second the actual freedom-based solution: STOP SPENDING MONEY! I know I'm living in a fantasy-world -- but hey, this is the only place I can find freedom these days.

An architect, an artist and a Sergeant Major were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The Sergeant Major said, "I like both." "Both?" Sergeant Major, "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the shop and get some work done."

I was concerned about the potential legality of such a policy and what prompted a department director to move in a policy direction that could be viewed as potentially racist.
What policy? Oh, one that would require employees to speak and write in English. But hey, everyone, now, who speaks English is racist. Who are we to actually want to communicate with people in English? According to Mr. Martinez, everyone should be able to speak in whatever language they want (as long as it's not English), and it's up to everyone ELSE to figure out how to communicate with them.
Mr. Martinez and the Union thugs in Austin, you're scum.

Today the Charlotte City Council will meet to discuss whether people are living with the "correct" quality of life. They appear to be ready to pass a new ordinance that will put you in jail if you fail to have their property decreed quality of life. In their minds, this means that if you have too many people living in a certain arbitrary square footage area, you should be jailed.
What is the proper, freedom-based solution? To let people live their lives how they want to without government interference. If it's not directly affecting other people, why should the government get involved at all? Because Charlotte City government is interested in communism, not freedom.

This time, the Observer wants to throw $10 million in taxpayer cash to "help hog farmers switch from lagoons to environmentally sound methods of waste." Of course, there's little, if any, details given as to WHY they should switch, other than the Observer thinks it "sounds like trouble."
As usual with the left, there is zero consideration to the other unintended consequences to this sort of action. They don't care that the farmers might not be able to afford to RUN these new procedures. They don't care that the price of all products from these farms will have to go up to pay for this forced action. They don't care that many farmers might be forced out of business because of this. They don't care about the hundreds and hundreds of hours the working man will have to work to PAY for this, against his will.
In short, the left does not care about anything other than themselves and getting what they want. When I was younger, I was told that was the definition of a selfish brat. Welcome to today's NC Democrat Party.

America, acting alone and with overwhelming force, must destroy the Iranian Islamic State now
Wow. How would you like the President of the United States to speak those words now? Go ahead, call me a warmonger, "neo-con" (as if you know what that is), or other names that you like. Then, think about it.
Euphoric Reality points out an essay by John Lewis in which he very clearly outlines and describes the two times that America has been attacked in the last hundred years. He outlines the two possible responses to being attacked and clearly illustrates the results from the two possible responses.
As he so well points out, right now Islam is winning around the world. There is only one possible response to their actions and only one thing that will stop the terrorists around the world. Anything else (like what we're doing now) is worse than doing nothing. It's a long read, but very detailed and logical. Take a peek.
And I'm not alone with my support of a REAL war, instead of this namby-pamby crap we're "waging" now.

The prinicipal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment."
So, according to this principal, he's having problems with a FOUR year old being a sexual harasser. And the principal can say that with a straight face? Really?
After complaining to the moron principal, the supreme powers government school officials agreed that the 4-year old wasn't a sexual predator. And yes, it actually took a complaint for the absolute fool principle to remove the references -- but he's leaving on the kid's "permanent record" that he is guilty of "inappropriate physical touching."
What a complete and total load of you-know-what. Yes, it's just another reason to keep your children far, far away from any school that is run by government. They are utterly and completely incompetent at doing ANYTHING other than spending money. They can't educate, and they're utterly incapable of common sense.
