Roma, I stopped posting to my blogsite in 2006, when I went back to teaching and had no time to keep up with it to maintain the viewership.  It was a news and opinion website. Then, two years later, when I was no longer teaching, I found I could no longer post to it.  Am thinking of setting up some new websites, though, and have downloaded the developer tools to create them, so I can set them up as regular, hosted websites. 

One would be a Duval County/JAX Judicial Watch and exposure of the long-standing corruption in the process, with links to the statutes, codes of ethics, and so on, so people will know how the court system is required to function and how to tell when it does not function according to ethics, state law, federal law, and the Constitution. It would be an interactive site. 

The other would be a Florida Legislature Watch, also an interactive site.  There is already a site that serves as a Jacksonville City Council information aggregator, although it is not as thorough as it needs to be.  There is also one that reports on the FL Legislature, but not to the extent of providing readers with an education about the legislative process and detailed information about the legislation before the state's legislators for consideration, why it is important to their lives as citizens of the state, and how they can gain information and provide input to affect the process. So many people don't know where to start when it comes to claiming their voice in the legislative process---or in local government processes.  I really believe the Tea Party movement is stimulating and empowering people to speak up, though, and that couldn't come at a better time for this country.

Hey, I guess I got the J.L.'s and the J.R.'s mixed up and answered a question I didn't need to answer.  Silly me!  Oh, well, that's my story about McCain and I'm stickin' to it anyway. I'm sorry he had to go through being a prisoner of war and having physical impairment because of it.  That shouldn't happen to anyone.  But he has to be held accountable for his voting record and how he influences others with his RINO positions. 

 McCain's been in Washington too long and has become progressively more liberal.  It's a shame a good conservative like J.D. Hayworth didn't beat him in Nov., 2010, but McCain has become pretty much of an institution among the Arizona electorate who are to the left of Hayworth.

There have been some interesting comments on my new blog post about "12 U.S. Multinational Corporations Pay No Taxes, Get Billions In Refunds." That just blows my mind that American taxpayers are having to subsidize big corporations' off-shoring of manufacturing and jobs to the detriment of the American economy and American workers, as well as providing employment for citizens in other countries.  We all need to get after our U.S. Congressmen and Congresswomen to do something to plug that huge tax loophole. That's billions of dollars lost to the American economy, plus we're also having to pay for those billions in refunds to those multinational  corporations. Where's the logic in that??

No, Roma ... Not to worry, i had my daughter's birthday this weekend and i have been very busy. No i am not easily offended, there is just so much to learn and so many opinions, i respect all thoughts and have greatly appreciated everyone's input and links even Steve's and Jonathan's. It makes us all think.... If I was offended then how can one believe in free speech? I respect McCain but do not care for his politics, he is too much of a liberal and i really believe that many things done to gain information is not torture. I guess now a days if you peal off a band aide on a prison of war, that could be consider torture. I prefer dealing with enemies the way the Honorable Congressman Alan West did, he made a decision to save lives of Iraqis and fellow soldiers and implemented it and took full responsibility. I feel for what McCain went through but he is a fool if he thinks for one minute by eliminating causing some minuet physical or mental pain of the opposition, he and the other prisoners of war would of not endured their torture from the enemy, then he is a complete fool. War is war period, and there is nothing pretty about it.  *G* C.R. i highly agree with you, McCain would of had Palin at his side and can you just iMAGiNe how different that whole Gulf spill would of turned out? Could you iMaGiNE HOW many wells and mines would have been okayed to go forward?  I wonder IF the whole Jasmine movement would of even happened? I doubt it.

Not a problem, Roma. I've never been a McCain fan. To me, he's been pretty good on defense and a RINO on everything else.  I voted for Romney in the 2008 primary and only voted for McCain in the general election because the only alternative who had a possibility of winning was totally unthinkable.

Even a RINO is preferable to the dangerous person who was elected and, to me, is only an illegitimate pretender to the presidency and a danger to our country.

Roma, that is a stunning video!  Thanks for posting it. It makes me wonder how many jihadists like him are here on American soil and have been doing the same thing here.  Also, how could we possibly know how many like him have come across our southern border illegally, where our President and Justice Department refuse to enforce our border and immigration laws. It is chilling to know that this administration has set aside a whole swath of Arizona, from the border with Mexico inland, and put up signs that it is a dangerous illegal drugs and human smuggling area and for Americans to keep out.  Also, thanks to their refusal to enforce our laws, Mexican drug cartels are now operating in major cities all over this country.  Obama is the most dangerous president this country has ever had and I believe it is far worse than we now know.

SENATOR RAND PAUL COMES TO DEFENSE OF TEA PARTY ON FLOOR OF U.S. SENATE AND DARES SENATORS TO COME TO A TEA PARTY RALLY

Below is a link to an excellent video of Rand Paul's defense of the Tea Party, in which he also talks at length about the irresponsible and unaccountable manner in which the people's money is handled in Washington.  He uses the personal pronoun "we," in reference to himself, when speaking in defense of the Tea Party, thereby making it clear he considers himself a part of it.

Included in his remarks are facts that the United States sent foreign aid money to Libya last year and also bailed out a major Libyan bank.  He said no one knows how or for what the foreign aid money was spent and that the bank bailout money was likely Gadaffi's piggy bank and was spirited off to a bank in Switzerland.

We only know about this, Paul says, "because we were finally able to partially audit the FED."  But, "we cant audit the Pentagon's budget because they say they're too big to be audited." This is unreal! No government department or agency is too big to be audited and they should all, at this point, be subjected to a forensic audit.

Do watch and listen to this video at:

Another notice:  I posted a new blog today titled:

"Mike Hogan Has Detailed Plan To Cut $62+ Million In Wasteful Spending"

It includes a request for all members that is really needed to help Mike win the run-off election. Obama and his cronies are supporting Mike's opponent because they consider Jacksonville important in the 2012 election.  Please take the time to go read that blog post. If you don't live in Duval County, you probably have family or friends who do. Thanks!

Patricia McBride just posted this article in her blog at:

http://www.fctpcommunity.org/profiles/blogs/us-house-of-representat...

 

"U.S. House of Representatives passed Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s landmark budget" proposal"

It's an interesting read and I added my two cents there, as well.

Roma, the meaning in the 14th Amendment's use of the word "subject," is just that all natural born citizens are subject to the legal jurisdiction and authority of the laws of the United States, and the laws of the sovereign states.

As such, citizens are considered equal under the law and equally bound by the established laws. It did not convey the meaning that citizens were subjects inferior to, or ruled by, a head of state, just as we aren't now. The President and Congress are elected by the people to serve the best interests of the people. Do they always do that? We all know they do not. It's our job to hold them accountable. The best way to do that is through communication of our opinions, joining together to express our collective voice on issues, securing qualified candidates to run for office, and voting renegade elected officials out of office at the ballot box. The powers that be evidently didn't get it, or they chose not respect our expressed intent through our vote of "no confidence" in 2010, and have doubled-down in their efforts to subjugate us. We must make sure they have no choice but to get our message in 2012.

In my opinion, nothing would please Obama more than for there to be some armed uprisings in this country to justify his putting them down through use of force and declaring martial law. I believe something will be tried in order to instigate such a scenario.

The extreme, poorly suppressed, increasing anger we now see in Obama now is palpable. This was exhibited by his duplicitous inviting of Rep. Paul Ryan and others supporting Ryan's budget to sit in the front row for that arrogant and hateful speech a few days ago, with Obama publicly lambasting Ryan and his budget just as he lambasted the Supreme Court Justices in the 2009 State of the Union---only worse. It was designed to ridicule and humiliate. It's clear he has a deep-seated hatred for anyone or anything that gets in his way or slows down his subversive agenda.
