Letter to President Barack Obama (D): This is Why Americans Want Tighter Border Patrol and Illegal Immigration Upheld
Left: Thomas Jefferson; Right: James Madison
These days, ladies and gentleman, as I have more time on my hands, I cannot help but read the news, always online, and feel anything other than alienation from my own nation, not because of anything I personally did wrong, but because my government has through treason forsook me and most people I have known for many, many years, with legal recourse and the mass media rendering unbridled ostracism should anyone be found guilty of contempt through sedition. I say sedition and not because I take it lightly; there were the Alien and Sedition Acts signed into law by President John Adams in 1798 in response to growing fears of Jacobinism on American soil as our Navy was embroiled within the Quasi War with revolutionary France simply due to our economic trade arrangements with Great Britain, who in kind captured our merchant maritime vessels and impressed the sailors. In spirit, Adams merely attempted to appease the Federalist Party for which he was a member by attempting to quell rioting and insurrection, incarcerating several key Democratic-Republican politicians and news journalists like Benjamin Franklin Bache, the grandson of the man by his namesake. As Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the founders of the Democratic-Republican Party, had opted for a few years to side with France due to "the sage of Monticello" having served as the U.S. Foreign Minister to the ancien regime under the deposed and then-executed King Louis XVI and because France played such an integral role in the successes the Continental Army enjoyed in defeating Lord Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781, they were the primary targets of distrust and the new government's watchful eye. This prompted the two close friends to pen the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions in 1798 in a virulent response to the Alien and Sedition Acts, which could have led Jefferson to be arrested on charges of treason. The documents are below, and the one I particularly want all of you to focus upon carefully are Jefferson's Kentucky resolutions and how his idea behind how the solution to the broad overreach of power must be resolution:
Virginia Resolution - Alien and Sedition Acts (Written by James Madison)
RESOLVED, That the General Assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocably express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of this State, against every aggression either foreign or domestic, and that they will support the government of the United States in all measures warranted by the former.That this assembly most solemnly declares a warm attachment to the Union of the States, to maintain which it pledges all its powers; and that for this end, it is their duty to watch over and oppose every infraction of those principles which constitute the only basis of that Union, because a faithful observance of them, can alone secure it's existence and the public happiness.That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.That the General Assembly doth also express its deep regret, that a spirit has in sundry instances, been manifested by the federal government, to enlarge its powers by forced constructions of the constitutional charter which defines them; and that implications have appeared of a design to expound certain general phrases (which having been copied from the very limited grant of power, in the former articles of confederation were the less liable to be misconstrued) so as to destroy the meaning and effect, of the particular enumeration which necessarily explains and limits the general phrases; and so as to consolidate the states by DEGREES, into one sovereignty, the obvious tendency and inevitable consequence of which would be, to transform the present republican system of the United States, into an absolute, or at best a mixed monarchy.That the General Assembly doth particularly protest against the palpable and alarming infractions of the Constitution, in the two late cases of the "Alien and Sedition Acts" passed at the last session of Congress; the first of which exercises a power no where delegated to the federal government, and which by uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of executive, subverts the general principles of FREE GOVERNMENT; as well as the particular organization, and positive provisions of the federal constitution; and the other of which acts, exercises in like manner, a power not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary, expressly and positively forbidden by one of the amendments thererto; a power, which more than any other, ought to produce universal alarm, because it is levelled against that right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon, which has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right.That this state having by its Convention, which ratified the federal Constitution, expressly declared, that among other essential rights, "the Liberty of Conscience and of the Press cannot be cancelled, abridged, restrained, or modified by any authority of the United States," and from its extreme anxiety to guard these rights from every possible attack of sophistry or ambition, having with other states, recommended an amendment for that purpose, which amendment was, in due time, annexed to the Constitution; it would mark a reproachable inconsistency, and criminal degeneracy, if an indifference were now shewn, to the most palpable violation of one of the Rights, thus declared and secured; and to the establishment of a precedent which may be fatal to the other.That the good people of this commonwealth, having ever felt, and continuing to feel, the most sincere affection for their brethren of the other states; the truest anxiety for establishing and perpetuating the union of all; and the most scrupulous fidelity to that constitution, which is the pledge of mutual friendship, and the instrument of mutual happiness; the General Assembly doth solemenly appeal to the like dispositions of the other states, in confidence that they will concur with this commonwealth in declaring, as it does hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid, are unconstitutional; and that the necessary and proper measures will be taken by each, for co-operating with this state, in maintaining the Authorities, Rights, and Liberties, referred to the States respectively, or to the people.That the Governor be desired, to transmit a copy of the foregoing Resolutions to the executive authority of each of the other states, with a request that the same may be communicated to the Legislature thereof; and that a copy be furnished to each of the Senators and Representatives representing this state in the Congress of the United States.Agreed to by the Senate, December 24, 1798.
Though what Madison called for what would eventually become the doctrine behind states' rights which remains a very contentious issue between the GOP and Democrats, he would later reiterate how he still observed the federal government as the ultimate sovereignty elected by the people, that this issue behind what became known as the nullification crisis over the following 60 years should only be used as a last resort to a desperate and irreconcilable conflict. But Jefferson, the one indispensable Founding Father who served as the Revolution's intellectual giant and the first politician to be referenced as the man of the people, was far more radical and in some cases, his advocacy would be considered beyond treasonous within the body of his Kentucky Resolutions:
Kentucky Resolution - Alien and Sedition Acts
RESOLUTIONS IN GENERAL ASSEMBLYTHE representatives of the good people of this commonwealth in general assembly convened, having maturely considered the answers of sundry states in the Union, to their resolutions passed at the last session, respecting certain unconstitutional laws of Congress, commonly called the alien and sedition laws, would be faithless indeed to themselves, and to those they represent, were they silently to acquiesce in principles and doctrines attempted to be maintained in all those answers, that of Virginia only excepted. To again enter the field of argument, and attempt more fully or forcibly to expose the unconstitutionality of those obnoxious laws, would, it is apprehended be as unnecessary as unavailing.We cannot however but lament, that in the discussion of those interesting subjects, by sundry of the legislatures of our sister states, unfounded suggestions, and uncandid insinuations, derogatory of the true character and principles of the good people of this commonwealth, have been substituted in place of fair reasoning and sound argument. Our opinions of those alarming measures of the general government, together with our reasons for those opinions, were detailed with decency and with temper, and submitted to the discussion and judgment of our fellow citizens throughout the Union. Whether the decency and temper have been observed in the answers of most of those states who have denied or attempted to obviate the great truths contained in those resolutions, we have now only to submit to a candid world. Faithful to the true principles of the federal union, unconscious of any designs to disturb the harmony of that Union, and anxious only to escape the fangs of despotism, the good people of this commonwealth are regardless of censure or calumniation.Least however the silence of this commonwealth should be construed into an acquiescence in the doctrines and principles advanced and attempted to be maintained by the said answers, or least those of our fellow citizens throughout the Union, who so widely differ from us on those important subjects, should be deluded by the expectation, that we shall be deterred from what we conceive our duty; or shrink from the principles contained in those resolutions: therefore.RESOLVED, That this commonwealth considers the federal union, upon the terms and for the purposes specified in the late compact, as conducive to the liberty and happiness of the several states: That it does now unequivocally declare its attachment to the Union, and to that compact, agreeable to its obvious and real intention, and will be among the last to seek its dissolution: That if those who administer the general government be permitted to transgress the limits fixed by that compact, by a total disregard to the special delegations of power therein contained, annihilation of the state governments, and the erection upon their ruins, of a general consolidated government, will be the inevitable consequence: That the principle and construction contended for by sundry of the state legislatures, that the general government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it, stop nothing short of despotism; since the discretion of those who adminster the government, and not the constitution, would be the measure of their powers: That the several states who formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction; and that a nullification, by those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done under colour of that instrument, is the rightful remedy: That this commonwealth does upon the most deliberate reconsideration declare, that the said alien and sedition laws, are in their opinion, palpable violations of the said constitution; and however cheerfully it may be disposed to surrender its opinion to a majority of its sister states in matters of ordinary or doubtful policy; yet, in momentous regulations like the present, which so vitally wound the best rights of the citizen, it would consider a silent acquiesecence as highly criminal: That although this commonwealth as a party to the federal compact; will bow to the laws of the Union, yet it does at the same time declare, that it will not now, nor ever hereafter, cease to oppose in a constitutional manner, every attempt from what quarter soever offered, to violate that compact:AND FINALLY, in order that no pretexts or arguments may be drawn from a supposed acquiescence on the part of this commonwealth in the constitutionality of those laws, and be thereby used as precedents for similar future violations of federal compact; this commonwealth does now enter against them, its SOLEMN PROTEST.Approved December 3rd, 1799.

For all who do not care for me opining of one of my greatest political heroes I have had the pleasure to read so much about, let me go on record and state how he was the original Johnny Rebel; made subversion and the freedom of the road cool 200 years prior to Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper starring and each dying in Easy Rider; and inspired three generations of revolutionaries before the youth in the 1960s led subversionary tactics in response to government overreach until the "morning in America" during the last great movement, the Reagan Revolution, led to the 1980s becoming truly the generation which made us. Where historians part ways with Mr. Jefferson will always regard the portion of his Kentucky Resolutions they chose not to read. In my field, this is referred to as revisionism, a very dangerous means for recording human history by matters of opinion rather than chronicling what actually transpired and avoiding judging our forefather from centuries past based upon the standards for what our society has evolved to accept as justice or the miscarriage thereof. Murray Rothbard, recall, was one of the first advocates of this atrocious practice; totalitarian states across the years he was a very public philosopher of libertarianism as a means to devolve social order into anarchy, even calling for the total abolition of the family unit and all forms of social compacts for protecting life, liberty and property as a measure to destroy all that comprises of what is human. These same scholars usually support the Seventeenth Amendment that stripped the states of their say in federal polity and granted American voters the right to elect U.S. Senators on the grounds it destroyed for a time anyway the states' capacity to nullify federal laws.
While the minimum of 34 states out of 50 have approved of a constitutional convention of the states, the uphill climb to reassert the states' rights to their own sovereignty in harmony with the language in the Tenth Amendment is still very steep, but now has legally footing to soar and to install a new series of restrictive measures within the Constitution to cripple the presidency's capacity to unilaterally govern, even if it entails by my design that it would include removing a sitting president's power to issue executive orders or privilege to prevent the dissolution of the people's sovereignty as the electorate for a republican government.

JOHN vs. JUAN
You have two families: "John Legal" and "Juan Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in Arizona ..
John Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Juan Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 in cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention....
John Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; John Legal now has $31,231.00.
Juan Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200 per year.Juan Illegal pays no taxes. Juan Illegal now has $31,200.00.
John Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. John Legal now has $24,031.00.
Juan Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Juan Illegal still has $31,200.00.
John Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. John Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000..00 per year. John Legal now has $18,031.00.
Juan Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Juan Illegal still has $31,200.00.
John Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. John Legal now has 9,631.00.
Juan Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Juan Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Juan Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
John Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. John Legal now has $7,231.00.
Juan Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00.
John Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..
Juan Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month..
John Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Juan Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
John Legal's and Juan Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school.
John Legal pays for his children's lunches, while Juan Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Juan Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. John Legal's children go home.
Now, when they reach college age, John Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though John has been paying for state schools through his taxes, while Juan Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority.
John Legal and Juan Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but John paid for them and Juan did not pay.
If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem! Go to numbersusa on the web to make your voice heard today!

Huntington, West Virginia is my idea of Main Street, U.S.A. The small retailer, the pharmacist and the proprietor of the local diner at one point lived a very American idealized lifestyle. And they are being weeded out by large corporate retail conglomerates like Walmart and Sam's Club, both owned by the Walton family, and others. Today, many small towns and communities that once thrived are now ghost towns. For Detroit and the remainder of the Rust Belt, socialism's championing of militant labor and trade unions have wrought upon the an economic depression so immense, they may never fully recover. Currently, Canada is supplying Detroit with vital water resources as the city is tapped due to rising costs and unprecedented unemployment and poverty; it has been said that the United Nations (UN) may be called into the city to aid in what is now a humanitarian crisis every bit as maddening as what we are witnessing over television along our border with Mexico. The reason, however, no one outside Detroit is paying attention is because neither the federal nor the state governments of Michigan want you to know, and the media as it presently exists will avoid covering what does not meet their political agenda for total control over the nation's culture and resources. It was none other than CNN's Jeff Zucker, the president of the network, who publicly proclaimed the network would in no manner cover the Benghazi hearings due to his belief that the GOP was on a sort of witch hunt. Since I never watch any cable news stations, including Fox News, I have no clue as to what the man stated about the IRS scandal, nor do I care since I do not watch CNN.
As for MSNBC? Well, I believe the following graphic will tell you all you need to know better than my long, loquacious musings:
As for MSNBC? Well, I believe the following graphic will tell you all you need to know better than my long, loquacious musings:
Personally, I would substitute "communists" or "socialists" in for "progressives" because the latter is far too politically-correct, and I refuse to play along with those silly rules since they are not mine nor did I make them up on the playground.

The Great American Betrayal: America the Beautiful Sacrificed to Launch the New World Order
Conservative radio host Michael Savage, The Savage Nation |
Having written at length what I did, I only a matter of half an hour ago or more listened to a podcast from Michael Savage on The Savage Nation today. For me, I consider Mr. Savage a good conservative who is concerned about the devolution of national heritage, its culture and for the entire 20 years he has broadcasted his show, the security of our borders. Mr. Savage demanded that our borders be shut down before it was posh to say so. As a teenager who did not fully grasp what occurred in my world aside from what CNN reported since Fox New was in its infancy the last term of the Clinton presidency, I would listen to Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and on occasion, Neal Bortz, G. Gordon Liddy and the late great Paul Harvey. I recall well some of the YouTube videos he posted on his website of terrorists decapitating prisoners of America's war on terror, including listening to the heart-wrenching revelation of field journalist Daniel Pearl's execution by al Qaeda terrorist operatives in Afghanistan. He died serving his country - the United States of America - in much the same spirit as do our armed forces officers, but he did so by ensuring we received vital information of that war's progress. He paid for this with his life. I will never forget where I was when I first watched the report, which was while I was on break from work at a McDonald's down the block from me. It was sad, tragic, and an example of why not only should such demographics of people be stopped from committing their crimes against mankind, but if necessary, for their entire population from which they may derive their manpower and legitimacy to govern and terrorize to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
What Mr. Savage reported today did not alter my perspective of political realism in the least, but rather confirmed my distrust in government. As stated, large growing corporate conglomerates have long ruled the world since the issue of anti-trusts and corporate collusion within the stock markets around the globe bribe and order all politicians to vote according to what makes them richer. We have often heard tales of the Rothschilds who control nearly all the world's centralized monetary flow from the Bank of London in Britain, and what you are about to both read and then listen from Mr. Savage's own voice will alter your perception of the primary arbiters of the operation of pay undocumented millions of dollars to build these posh vacation spas and resorts for illegal aliens that are referred to as detainment camps:
Without doubt, Rush Limbaugh is the most recognizable personality and analyst within the national conservative establishment we have ever had over his golden microphone from the EIB Network. His intellect and wit are famous for drawing listeners to his show; his personality, infectious and if he could kill those he draws to his light, well he might just remind you of a bug lamp perhaps hanging outside on your porch. And while Rush deserves to be credited for his amiability and infectious charisma and bravado, he cannot touch Michael Savage with regards to investigating public atrocities and major scandals. The Koch brothers have the power to destroy the Democratic Party, but have not. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D - NV) has made it his crusade to topple the Koch brothers, and while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R - KY) served as the driving force behind the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission:
Conclusion: Stay Turned!
Conclusion: Stay Turned!
The details of the case are at this point moot. We know the High Court struck it down as a violation of free speech to place limits on campaign donations. And while many conservatives take issue with me regarding my choice to oppose this decision, you may now repose the question to yourself by asking if by allowing anything organic to fund however much to their respective campaign coffers he, she or it so chooses whether or not America remains a democracy. And I believe, ladies and gentlemen, that was answer last year, and confirmed today that we are in fact residing in a geopolitical communist-like system where only the wealthiest control all the wealth and place into power those politicians who will serve as their public relations figurehead and voodoo doll for them to apply pins and needles to in order to cause significant pain. And as a guy I once debated and had known since middle school stated as he laid into my post about the Senate voting to appropriate funding for "moderate" Islamic revolutionaries like al Qaeda and ISIS in 2013 said before the debate devolved into a bitter exchange and killed our "friendship", there really is no difference at all between the elephant and the ass.
Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. Things are beginning to spice up, and we have not by far read nor listened or watched the last of these saga of scandals. As there are so many new stories of unprecedented corruption revealed daily, I am attempting to cover these as often and efficiently as possible while taking care to maintain my standards for careful researching and verification of facts through different media both here and around the world. The next story will be about Bill Clinton's audio recording of revealing how he could have had Osama bin Laden assassinated on September 10, 2001, or one day before the postwar day forever living in infamy.
