Why man cannot be free if he puts his opinion above God's

The following story illustrates why the American Founding Fathers insisted that all human law must be based on and not contradict God's law.

In short, as the Bible explains, without God, "every man is right in his own eyes".

Again let me repeat, America cannot be free if we do not put God back into schools, government, business, church, and families. Freedom is impossible without God:

" ... Two men wearing tennis whites walk out on the court. Opening a folding table and chairs, they sit down and start to play chess. An attendant rushes up and says, "Sorry, gentlemen, this place is for tennis. You can't do that here." Looking up with a scowl, one of the men snaps, "This is how we play tennis. We have a right."

This is a parable of same-sex marriage and the controversy that accompanies it.
On one side: Whatever else it is, it just isn't marriage.
On the other: To us it's marriage, and we have a right. ... "

Its not the Economy

Today's debate about whether we should only be concerned with economic issues verses (or without) moral issues, only shows the country's ignorance. America's founders were very clear about this. Only an America blinded by evil could miss it. America is not 'the economy'. The economy is only a result:

"We have consulted the records of the past, and I have appealed to your consciousness of the present; and what is the sound, which they send forth to all the echoes of futurity, but Union; 每 Union as one People, 每 Union so as to be divided by no act whatever. We have a sound of modern days, 每 could it have come from an American voice? 每 that the value of the Union is to be calculated! 每 Calculated? By what system of Arithmetic? By what rule of proportion? Calculate the value of maternal tenderness and of filial affection; calculate the value of nuptial vows, of compassion to human suffering, of sympathy with affliction, of piety to God, and of charity to man; calculate the value of all that is precious to the heart, and all that is binding upon the soul; and then you will have the elements with which to calculate the value of the Union. But if cotton or tobacco, rocks or ice, metallic money or mimic paper, are to furnish the measure, the stamp act was the invention of a calculating statesman. "Great financier! Stupendous calculato!"
- United States Founding Father, John Quincy Adams

Secular Humanism at its Best

Can you imagine a hospital where if you refuse to let them treat you, they will beat or kill you? Its here now and you should never again go to a hospital without your body guards and lawyer.

Congradulations America. You gave your children over to them and they trained a whole generation of them. We really are progressing from those evil days of our Christian American forefathers, aren't we?

Nightmarish Hospital Visit Capped by Beating By RYAN ABBOTT August 25, 2010

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (CN) - A man who was hurt in a car crash but was misidentified as a cancer patient claims security guards at Prince George's Hospital beat him up when he tried to leave the hospital to avoid chest surgery he didn't need - "to have a potentially cancerous mass removed from his chest." He adds that one guard repeatedly called him "bitch" as he roughed him up.

Joseph Wheeler says a June 23 car accident put him in the hospital, which is owned by Dimensions Health Corporation. When he woke up hungry on June 24 and asked a nurse for food, she told him he couldn't eat because he was scheduled for surgery, Wheeler claims in Prince George's County Court.

Wheeler says the nurse checked his identification bracelet and told him the surgery was "to have a potentially cancerous mass removed from his chest."

Wheeler says his ID bracelet "contained a name that was different from Mr. Wheeler's, appeared to be that of a woman, and had a birth date that was 13 years prior to his own."

The complaint continues: "Mr. Wheeler, still in serious pain from the car accident and subsequent treatment from injuries sustained, was starting to fear for his safety as the hospital had misidentified him and he was being prepped to go into a surgery that he knew nothing about.

"At this point, Mr. Wheeler's wife, Felicia Ann Wheeler, came into the room to see her husband. Mr. Wheeler immediately told Mrs. Wheeler about what was taking place. The Wheelers decided that it was in their best interest to leave Prince George's Hospital Center and seek medical care for Mr. Wheeler elsewhere."

Mrs. Wheeler confirmed with nurses outside her husband's room that he was scheduled for cancer surgery, and when she told the nurses that she and her husband were leaving, "an argument ensued."

According to the increasingly bizarre complaint, Mr. Wheeler, "hearing the argument, took out his I/V, got out of the hospital bed, put his clothes on, and started to walk out of the room. He was bleeding from the spot on his hand where that I/V had been connected.

"Mrs. Wheeler and the nurse met Mr. Wheeler at the door. The nurse told Mr. Wheeler that he was not allowed to leave. She put a bandage on Mr. Wheeler's hand to stop the bleeding from the I/V spot, and then yelled for security.

"Mr. Wheeler, now bandaged and clothed, began to walk toward the exit of the floor while his wife gathered the rest of his belongings. As he moved toward the exit, two large men in security uniforms moved quickly toward Mr. Wheeler."

These men, defendants William Reese and Donovan Scott, worked for the hospital and/or defendant Broadway Services, according to the complaint. The Wheelers say the two security guards were "immediately hostile."

"Defendant Scott harshly asked, 'Where do you think you're going?' Mr. Wheeler told both Reese and Scott that his business was finished at the hospital and that he was on his way out," the complaint states.

"In the moments immediately following this exchange, defendant Scott began to appear angry and upset with Mr. Wheeler. He began to use profanity directed at Mr. Wheeler about getting back to Wheeler's 'damn room.'

"At this point the two officers put on black padded gloves in front of Mr. Wheeler and defendant Scott started to hit his fist against his own hand and moved closer in proximity to Wheeler's face. Defendant Scott appeared angry and agitated."

Wheeler, "in fear for his safety," tried to reason with the guards.

"He told the officers that he had been in a serious car accident and suffered from multiple injuries to the torso and shoulders. Wheeler also told the officers that he was retired from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office and that he knew that the security officers had no right or authority to detain him. Wheeler stated that he wanted to leave."

At that point, Wheeler says, Scott grabbed him and shoved him "hard from behind into the adjacent wall and metal railing," hurting his ribs.

The complaint continues: "Mr. Wheeler, in serious pain and feeling like he was going to black out, fell to floor. Defendant Scott stood over him and yelled, 'Get off the floor bitch! This game is over!'

"Defendant Scott continued, 'I don't care who you think you are, this is my camp, you listen to what I got to say!' The vocal officer then grabbed Mr. Wheeler and pulled him up off of the ground as Wheeler pleaded with the officer to stop hurting him.

"At this point the defendant Reese said to the vocal officer, 'Man, ease up on him. He might really be hurt.' Defendant Scott replied, 'Hell no, he don't come up in here and be telling us what the fuck to do!'"

As the two guards "escorted" him back to his room, "Scott accused Wheeler of attempting to push the second officer down a flight of stairs," and "continued to shout expletives at Wheeler," according to the complaint.

Wheeler says the men took him to the hospital security office, where an unidentified lieutenant questioned him.

"After Mr. Wheeler explained what had happened, the lieutenant looked at Wheeler's hospital-provided identification bracelet and acknowledged that Wheeler had been misidentified," Wheeler says.

But that was not the end of the conflict. Wheeler says the lieutenant became agitated when he would not return the incorrect bracelet, and ordered the security guards to stop him from leaving.

He says a plainclothes hospital employee, a woman he identifies as an "administrator ... intervened in the conversation" and after he explained the situation, said she would make sure he "would have his own private room and any type of drug he wanted, just to name the pain killer."

Wheeler says he and his wife chose to leave the hospital, but when he tried to leave with the incorrect ID bracelet, one of the security guards "charged Wheeler, again calling Wheeler 'bitch,' and shoved him against the wall."

"Mr. Wheeler spent the next three days at St. Mary's Hospital and was diagnosed with four broken ribs, a sprained shoulder, a ruptured spleen, and a concussion," he says.

The Wheelers seek $3.2 million in compensatory damages and $9.5 million in punitive damages for assault and battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress.

A bad trend has developed in the 'land of the slave and the home of the terrified':

Posted: September 01, 2010

By Bob Unruh

A lawsuit has been launched against the sheriff's office in Marin County, Calif., over an episode in which deputies barged uninvited into a 64-year-old man's home and shot him three times with a Taser, screaming "stop resisting" while the incapacitated victim writhed in pain on the floor.

The sheriff's version of the episode was that watching "selected" video segments of the events may mislead people.

The incident was reported by KGO-TV in San Francisco, which posted a video: ...

The episode developed late in June when Peter McFarland, a consultant, returned home one night from a charity fundraiser and fell on his front steps, injuring his knee. Paramedics were called to treat his injury.

Learn of your responsibilities and obligations, in "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defense"

Then as the paramedics departed, McFarland reported, two deputies barged in.

"All of a sudden they just showed up, came in here like there was a fire," he said.

The deputies insisted on taking him to a hospital for an evaluation, according to the television report.

"We're going to take you to the hospital for an evaluation," one deputy says on the video. "You said if you had a gun you'd shoot yourself in the head."

McFarland said that statement was no more than hyperbole, reflecting how much pain he was in from his fall and the fact he was exhausted.

He refused to go and argued with the deputies. He told them to get out of his house and got up to go to bed.

That's when he was shot by the deputies, three times. The officers were yelling, "Stop resisting. Stop resisting," as he screamed unintelligibly while writhing uncontrollably on the floor.

His wife was pleading for the officers to stop, telling them McFarland had a heart condition.

John Scott, McFarland's attorney, told the television station it is "hard to imagine something this shocking could happen."

McFarland was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, but the charges later were dismissed. The attorney told the station the officers had no search warrant or any legal reason to enter the private home.

The station interviewed Dr. Byron Lee, a cardiologist, who said "the Taser has some real risks that if you can get Tasered in the right places, you can cause sudden death and cardiac arrest."

The station later reported when the sheriff responded to concerns about the incident.

The sheriff's office's written statement to the station said, "The decision to resort to the use of force is never taken lightly and deputy sheriffs (sic) undergo an extensive amount of on-going training to ensure those decisions are both appropriate and fall within the guidelines established by law and department policy."

[Thats comforting isn't it? Psycotic abuse of citizens falls within the guidelines established by law and department policy.]

The station said the officers also said watching someone being jolted is hard.

"That reaction can all too often also be influenced by using only small, selected segments of a much lengthier video that better depicts the complexity of the event in question."

Christian America Falls

First the Japanese suceed economically where they couldn't suceed at pearl harbor in taking over the US. Others follow suit, including domestic socialist and communists.

Is next to fall in the US the legal system along with Christianity? Reason and experience say yes.

This won't be the end. It will get worse. Then the end will come when a frustrated, rising in power, Europe, tired of America's childishness and bullying, makes the final assult on America, this generation that has become a reproach in the sight of the whole world. America's end will be quick and horrific. A victim of the very nuclear weapons it itself conceived.

America has lost its virtue and now as America's founding fathers predicted, it will secumb to both internal and external invaders. We should all think about 'getting our affairs in order'.

" ... Though the name may be changed, the "Cordoba House" is clearly a clever, intentional reference to the almost four-century conquest of formerly Christian Spain by the Muslims who established the Caliphate of Cordoba and instituted the Shariah society they intend for America. This society gives citizens three choices only:

1)convert to Islam,
2)become subjects of the state, second-class citizens who pay a heavy jizya or tax, or
3)be killed.

In the Muslim world, "Cordoba" signifies successful conquest, pure and simple.

But Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, Muslim founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, says: "For us, a mosque was always a place to pray, to be together on holidays 每 not a way to make an ostentatious architectural statement. Ground Zero shouldn't be about promoting Islam. It's the place where war was declared on us Americans."

Besides, why spend 100 million on that place, when the 2010 White House is already serving the purpose?"

Does the government work for you or do you work for the government?

You pay income taxes, property taxes (you rent your property from the government, you do not own it), sales taxes, and various other taxes and fees. And what have you paid for? A new world order that spreads your wealth to every other country in the world, most of it stolen by corrupt officials. A socialist economy that spreads your wealth to anyone who doesn't have as much as you or enters the country illegally. An unemployment compensation program to pay you less than poverty wages as the government creates policies that encourage corporations to outsource your job overseas. Multiple programs to help promote homosexuality while other legitimate goverment services are eliminated by budget cuts. And more.

Would George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Framklin and the other founding fathers stand for this?

Why do you stand for this? [Answer: You think you can stand on your own, without God. You are ashamed of God and intimidated by liberals and homosexuals, and have given your government and your children over to them.]

Federal workers earning double their private counterparts

PAY RATES

By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY

At a time when workers' pay and benefits have stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis finds.

Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.

Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are the latest available.

The federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to $61,998 last year.

Public employee unions say the compensation gap reflects the increasingly high level of skill and education required for most federal jobs and the government contracting out lower-paid jobs to the private sector in recent years.

"The data are not useful for a direct public-private pay comparison," says Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union.

Chris Edwards, a budget analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, thinks otherwise. "Can't we now all agree that federal workers are overpaid and do something about it?" he asks.

Last week, President Obama ordered a freeze on bonuses for 2,900 political appointees. For the rest of the 2-million-person federal workforce, Obama asked for a 1.4% across-the-board pay hike in 2011, the smallest in more than a decade. Federal workers also would qualify for seniority pay hikes.

Congressional Republicans want to cancel the across-the-board increase in 2011, which would save $2.2 billion.

"Americans are fed up with public employee pay scales far exceeding that in the private sector," says Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., the second-ranking Republican in the House.

Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., says a pay freeze would unfairly scapegoat federal workers without addressing real budget problems.

What the data show:

Benefits. Federal workers received average benefits worth $41,791 in 2009. Most of this was the government's contribution to pensions. Employees contributed an additional $10,569.

Pay. The average federal salary has grown 33% faster than inflation since 2000. USA TODAY reported in March that the federal government pays an average of 20% more than private firms for comparable occupations. The analysis did not consider differences in experience and education.

Total compensation. Federal compensation has grown 36.9% since 2000 after adjusting for inflation, compared with 8.8% for private workers.

This is tyranny not freedom
This is tyranny not security
"The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny"

1. Fame and Fortune at the Expense of Others - An investor talks an elderly widow into investing her life saving with him. Instead of investing the money he spends it on a campaign to get himself elected to public office, travel, and homosexual escorts in various cities. What do you think of such a person? Should he be re-elected, tolerated, felt sorry for, given additional money? What ever your answer is, your actions and those other most other Americans is "Yes, re-elect him, tolerate him, feel sorry for him, give him additional money, and who cares about the widow". This is exactly the character of the Congresses Americans have been electing from "social security" to "obamacare" - and who cares about the taxpayer. We have become a really sick people.
2. Medical Tyranny - You allow men in office that don't fear God and they will not honor the law if it does not please them to do so, because without the fear of God they are a law unto themselves once they have power. You, the people, have allowed this unconstitutional federal healthcare bill to pass on top of so many others, and now the humiliation of Americans continues and the pace, as you have already noticed, has quickened, with no end in sight. God judges national sins with national disgrace and calamities. Are you sure you want to keep paying the price for being "sensitive" to the needs of tyranous liberals, homosexuals, and socialists ?
3. Thieves could go free while victim faces jail time - When you live in a country that prosecutes a man for defending his property with his gun and the country lets the criminals go free, you are living in tyranny. If this man is not set free and/or all charges dropped immediately and the criminals do not go to jail, the government responsible is not "American", and has no right to exist in the United States. It is the duty of all Americans to stop this injustice, with the Second Amendment if necessary.

Is a National Day of Prayer UnConstitutional?

America is so dumbed down it is pathetic. The answer to this question is obvious to everyone. The only reason it is asked and debated in the courts is because there are so many "enemies domestic" in America who don't like the answer. And they know that if they complain forcefully enough and make dumbed down America feel stupid for disagreeing with them, they can change the truth into a lie.

There is plenty more truth out there but this is all you should need if you are not a godless immoral liberal:

In the Annals of Congress for September 25, 1789, it records the founding congress deciding to ask the President of the United States to recommend to the people of the UnitedStates a day of prayer and thanksgiving:

Mr. [Elias] Boudinot said he could not think of letting the session pass over without offering an opportunity to all the citizens of the United States of joining with one voice in returning to Almighty God their sincere thanks for the many blessings He had poured down upon them. With this view, therefore, he would move the following resolution:

Resolved , That a joint committee of both Houses be directed to wait upon the President of the United States to request that he would recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a Constitution of government for their safety and happiness. . . .

Mr. [Roger] Sherman justified the practice of thanksgiving, on any signal event, not only as a laudable one in itself but as warranted by a number of precedents in Holy Writ: for instance, the solemn thanksgivings and rejoicings which took place in the time of Solomon after the building of the temple was a case in point. This example he thought worthy of Christian imitation on the present occasion; and he would agree with the gentleman who moved the resolution. Mr. Boudinot quoted further precedents from the practice of the late Congress and hoped the motion would meet a ready acquiescence [approval].

The question was now put on the resolution and it was carried in the affirmative.

This request to President Washington was made the same day that this very same congress agreed to the final wording of the first amendment.

Then on October 3, 1789, President George Washington, concurring with the sentiments of Congress, issued the following proclamation:

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor. . . . Now, therefore, I do recommend . . . that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed. . . . And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions . . . to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue.

This is absolute proof that national days of prayer are constitutional. There is absolutely no doubt that the first amendment allows for national days of prayer. There is absolutely no doubt that a national day of prayer does not violate the Constitution. There is absolutely no doubt that a national day of prayer does not constitute an "establishment of religion". There is absolutely no doubt that the first amendent's "freedom of religion" clause actually protects the right of government to have national days of prayer.

Anyone who disagrees is not an American. Any judge or executive who disagrees is deserving of impeachment. Any politican who disagrees needs to be voted out of office. And anyone else in a position of public trust who disagrees should be discharged.

But go ahead and squirm, twist and turn until you come up with an excuse not to act and just let the lies continue. This generation long ago lost its backbone and along with it the privalege of living in a free country. America is the reproach and laughing stalk the Founding Fathers warned we would become if we shunned God. And now we can only clentch our teeth as we reap the rewards of secular humanism: Tyranny, war, famine, disease, poverty, homosexuality (if you arn't one, you will be forced to become one - they will not stop with just the right to be perverse, they will demand everyone become one of them) ........ and more.

Fatal Thinking

※How would do you reconcile the 'rule of law' with the 'supremacy of God'? They are contradictory. The Charter [Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms] is such an important legal document and the document that all our other legal traditions are supposed to be consistent with. So it＊s really important that it enshrine the most fundamental values of Canadians. And I＊m concerned when God is a foundation for authority.§ - Justin Trottier, executive director of the Centre for Inquiry Canada in Toronto (Read Article )

Fact #1: If you agree with thess statements by Mr. Trottier, you are not an American. You may have been born on American soil but you are not an American.

Fact #2: If you agree with these statements by Mr. Trottier, you are an enemy of America (and also an enemy of Canada).

It should be obvious to every American at this point that without the 'supremacy of God' you only have the 'arbitrary rule of man' - there is no 'rule of law' today in America (or Canada).

When God was supreme in America, all other 'legal traditions' and 'fundamental values' were consistant with God's law and that brought freedom, greatness, prosperity, and happiness to the United States. Now that God has been removed from America it is easy to see that America is experiencing the exact opposite, slavery, weakness, poverty, and misery.

Mr. Trottier is "concerned when God is a foundation for authority". The United States founding people and founding fathers were concerned when 'men' were a foundation for authority. They fought the American Revolution to rid this continent of human authority and put God in his rightful place on the throne of the United States.

Thomas Paine called America to revolution by stating what he believed was "common sense" - that the 'rule of law' can't exist without the 'supremacy of God', that God must be the authority to have a good legal system and a free country:

"But where, says some, is the king of America? I'll tell you friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the royal brute of Britain. Yet that we may not appear to be defective even in earthly honors, let a day be solemnly set apart for proclaiming the charter; let it be brought forth and placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America THE LAW IS KING. For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other. But lest any ill use should afterwards arise, let the crown at the conclusion of the ceremony de demolished, and scattered among the people whose right it is." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense, p. 36, quoting Dragonetti

Where God is not supreme, men are easily deceived by men who speak the words "rule of law", but have changed the definition of that phrase to mean the 'rule of government micromanagement of citizens lives', the 'rule of political correctness', the 'rule of the Godless', the 'rule of bureaucrats', the 'rule of immorality', the 'rule of liberal democrats', the 'rule of false Republicans' - in a word: tyranny.

No American founding father would agree with Mr. Trottier, and if there was a founding american citizen who did, he would probably never admit it because of the shame it would bring him. (Case in point: The negative reaction of founding Americans and the American founding fathers to Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason".)

America's founding fathers rightly predicted that without the supremacy of God, the citizens of America would eventually be ruled, not by law, but by force. Without God, man's virtue disappears and along with it his freedom. Without God he must have men as masters. And as America, Canada, and England today can see, those masters are dredfull and becoming worse:

"When a man's will and pleasure is his only rule and guide, what safety can there be either for him or against him but in the point of a sword?" - United States Founding Father, A leader of the Sons of Liberty, Mentor of Samuel Adams,James Otis, "The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved", (Boston and London: J.Williams and J. Almon, 1766), p. 4

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Signer of the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin , "Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania", (Philadelphia, 1749), p. 22

It is true, you can have government without God, but it will not be 'civil'. Even if it starts out that way, rule by men will always deteriorate into anarchy, because it is the nature of man that every man thinks he is right. The only hope for good government is a solid foundation void of the arbitraryness of man, and that can only be found in God. Men cannot be the authority in government, they can only be the administrators of government:

"Has it [government] any solid foundation? any chief cornerstone ... ? I think it has an everlasting foundation in the unchangeable will of God, the Author of Nature whose laws never vary. ... Government ... is by no means an arbitrary thing depending merely on compact or human will for its existence. ... The power of God Almighty is the only power that can porperly and strictly be called supreme and absolute. In the order of nature immediately under Him comes the power of a simple democracy, or the power of the whole over the whole. ... [God is] the only monarch in the universe who has a clear and indisputable right to absolute power because He is the only one who is omniscient as well as omnipotent. ... The sum of my argument is that civil government is of God, that the administrators of it were originally the whole people." - United States Founding Father, A leader of the Sons of Liberty, Mentor of Samuel Adams, James Otis, "The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved", (Boston and London: J.Williams and J. Almon, 1766), pp. 11-13, 98

It is impossible for men to create good government on their own. No matter how intelligent, no matter how knowledgeable, no matter how much they study the governments of the past and present. Human understanding is just to imperfect. Only by appealing to God can men achieve the understanding necessary to create good government. And without a continued dependence on the supremacy of God every nation will soon become a reproach that its citizens will be ashamed of. The country that forgets that all authority comes from God will fail and only a mainiac believes otherwise: "

Mr President [George Washington, Constitutional Convention],

The small progress we have made after 4 or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other--our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding.

We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.

In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings?

In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection. - Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered.

All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity.

And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need His assistance?

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?

We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel:

We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages.

And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.

I therefore beg leave to move - that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service--

But what about athiests, won't they be offended by proclaiming "the supremacy of God"? An athiest is a traitor to America and Canada. There is no reason to worry about offending a traitor. Traitors are only deserving of punishment. Founding Americans and the founding fathers clearly rejected atheism and any true American today will do the same:

"The idea of infidelity [a disbelief in the inspiration of the Scriptures or the divine origin of Christianity] cannot be treated with too much resentment or too much horror. The man who can think of it with patience is a traitor in his heart and ought to be execrated [denounced] as one who adds the deepest hypocrisy to the blackest treason." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, President of the United States, "Atlas of the American Revolution", John Adams, John Adams, Papers, Vol. VI, p. 348, to James Warren on August 4, 1778. 161

"I anticipate nothing but suffering to the human race while the present systems of paganism, deism, and atheism prevail in the world." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Rush, "Letters of Benjamin Rush", L. H. Butterfield, editor (Princeton, New Jersey: American Philosophical Society, 1951), Vol. II, p. 799, to Noah Webster on July 20, 1798

"The attempt by the rulers of a nation [France] to destroy all religious opinion and to pervert a whole people to atheism is a phenomenon of profligacy [act of moral depravity]. ... [T]o establish atheism on the ruins of Christianity [is] to deprive mankind of its best consolations and most animating hopes and to make a gloomy desert of the universe." - United States Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, "The Papers of Alexander Hamilton", Harold C. Syrett, editor (New York: Columbia University Press, 1979), Vol. XXI, pp. 402-404, ※The Stand No. III,§ New York, April 7, 1798

"[T]he rising greatness of our country ... is greatly tarnished by the general prevalence of deism which, with me, is but another name for vice and depravity. ... I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of their number; and indeed that some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than the appellation of Tory [being called a traitor], because I think religion of infinitely higher importance than politics. ... [B]eing a Christian ... is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast." - United States Founding Father, Patrick Henry, S. G. Arnold, "The Life of Patrick Henry of Virginia", (Auburn and Buffalo: Miller, Orton and Mulligan, 1854), pp. 249-250.

"[I] have a thorough contempt for all men ... who appear to be the irreclaimable enemies of religion." - United States Founding Father, "Father of the American Revolution", Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams, Samuel Adams, "The Writings of Samuel Adams", Harry Alonzo Cushing, editor (New York: G. P. Putnam＊s Sons, 1906), Vol. II, p. 381, to William Checkley on December 14, 1772.

"[T]he most important of all lessons [from the Scriptures] is the denunciation of ruin to every State that rejects the precepts of religion." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, Penman of the Constitution, Gouverneur Morris, "Collections of the New York Historical Society for the Year 1821", (New York: E. Bliss and E. White, 1821), p. 34, from ※An Inaugural Discourse Delivered Before the New York Historical Society by the Honorable Gouverneur Morris on September 4, 1816.§

"[S]hun, as a contagious pestilence, ... those especially whom you perceive to be infected with the principles of infidelity or [who are] enemies to the power of religion. Whoever is an avowed enemy of God, I scruple not to call him an enemy to his country." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, John Witherspoon, Witherspoon, "The Works of John Witherspoon", (Edinburgh: J. Ogle, 1815), Vol. VI, p. 13, from ※An Address to the Senior Class at Princeton College,§ September 23, 1775.

Those who have removed God from goverment, business, education and religion in the United States and Canada have guarenteed that both countries will be full of corruption in each of those areas. All of the suffering going on today in America can be attributed to those who think we have no further need of God. Every American can see this happening today. No one has to wonder if this is true:

"I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism. ... It is only necessary for republicanism to ally itself to the Christian religion to overturn all the corrupted political and religious institutions in the world." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Rush, "Letters of Benjamin Rush", L. H. Butterfield, editor (Princeton, New Jersey: American Philosophical Society, 1951), Vol. II, pp. 820-821, to Thomas Jefferson on August 22, 1800.

"All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." - United States Founding Father, Noah Webster, Noah Webster, "History of the United States", (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), p. 339, s. 53

All true Americans know that all human laws must be based on devine laws. If they are not then everything evil will become good and everything good will become evil and society will be enslaved by the arbitrary power of whoever is currently in government - exactly what we see in the United States and Canada today:

"Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. ... Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, Original Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, 2nd most active speaker at the Consitutional Convention(168 times), co-authore of America's first legal commentaries on the Constitution, James Wilson, James Wilson, "The Works of the Honourable James Wilson", Bird Wilson, editor (Philadelphia: Bronson and Chauncey, 1804), Vol. I, pp. 104-106, ※Of the General Principles of Law and Obligation.§

"All [laws], however, may be arranged in two different classes. 1) Divine. 2) Human. ... But it should always be remembered that this law, natural or revealed, made for men or for nations, flows from the same Divine source: it is the law of God. ... Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is Divine." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, Original Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, 2nd most active speaker at the Consitutional Convention(168 times), co-authore of America's first legal commentaries on the Constitution, James Wilson, James Wilson, "The Works of the Honourable James Wilson", Bird Wilson, editor (Philadelphia: Lorenzo Press, 1804), Vol. I, pp. 103-105, ※Of the General Principles of Law and Obligation.§

"[T]he law ... dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton, "The Papers of Alexander Hamilton", Harold C. Syrett, editor (New York: Columbia University Press, 1961), Vol. I, p. 87, February 23, 1775, quoting William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England (Philadelphia: Robert Bell, 1771), Vol. I, p. 41.

"[T]he ... law established by the Creator ... extends over the whole globe, is everywhere and at all times binding upon mankind. ... [This] is the law of God by which he makes his way known to man and is paramount to all human control." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Consitution, Rufus King, Rufus King, "The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King", Charles R. King, editor (New York: G. P. Putnam＊s Sons, 1900), Vol. VI, p. 276, to C. Gore on February 17, 1820.

There is more. But how much do you need before you will wake up and act to remove all men from political office and positions of public trust who are enemies of you and your country? Do you allow the destruction of America because you are ignorant, incompetatent, lazy, think it is ok to accept the lessor of two evils, or because you, like Mr. Trottier, are the enemy?

"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands and elect bad men to make and administer the laws." - United States Founding Father, Noah Webster, Noah Webster, "History of the United States", (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), pp. 336-337, s. 49

"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate - look to his character. ... It is alleged by men of loose principles or defective views of the subject that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications for political stations. But the Scriptures teach a different doctrine. They direct that rulers should be men ※who rule in the fear of God, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness§ [Exodus 18:21]. ... [I]t is to the neglect of this rule of conduct in our citizens that we must ascribe the multiplied frauds, breaches of trust, peculations [white-collar larceny] and embezzlements of public property which astonish even ourselves; which tarnish the character of our country; which disgrace a republican government." - United States Founding Father, Noah Webster, Noah Webster, "Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education", (New Haven: S. Converse, 1823), pp. 18-19, Letter 1.

Public Ememies of the United States

The insame Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

" ... Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn't violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway - and no reasonable expectation that the government isn't tracking your movements. That is the bizarre - and scary - rule that now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers this vast jurisdiction, recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants - with no need for a search warrant. (See a TIME photoessay on Cannabis Culture.) It is a dangerous decision - one that, as the dissenting judges warned, could turn America into the sort of totalitarian state imagined by George Orwell. It is particularly offensive because the judges added insult to injury with some shocking class bias: the little personal privacy that still exists, the court suggested, should belong mainly to the rich. ... "

Arizona Senator John McCain

LTC Steven Brodsky and Col. Melanie Craig

" ... But, it continued, "Outside the courtroom, Brodsky went far beyond interference with Lakin's commanders. While Lakin was waiting near the courtroom, Brodsky and Col. Melanie Craig (Lakin's 'escort') stood around the corner in the main hallway and in voices easily audible to LTC Lakin, spoke about the need to prevent Lakin after the hearing from speaking to the media, 'signing autographs or kissing babies.' Brodsky then said to Craig 'just taser him and throw him in the van,'" the report said. ... In the foundation report, Lakin said, "LTC Brodsky meant for me to hear those words, no question. When COL Craig returned to where I was, she said to me 'you probably heard all that, didn't you?' I replied it would have been hard not to. After the hearing, my lawyers asked COL Craig for permission for me to speak to the press, since both CNN and NBC had sent camera crews, but she rudely refused, and she ordered me back into her vehicle to be transported back to Walter Reed." ...

National Education Association (NEA)

"The National Education Association ... At this year's meeting in New Orleans, the largest professional organization and labor union in the U.S. recognized a new caucus: the NEA Drag Queen Caucus. ... "They already have had the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, [and] Transgender Caucus and apparently felt that the drag queens needed their own caucus," explains Finn Laursen, executive director of Christian Educators Association International (CEAI). ... Laursen also tells OneNewsNow there was a movement this year to see the NEA's pro-abortion stance changed to a more neutral position, but that effort failed. "The organization and its delegates were just unwilling to step back and take no position on abortion," he laments. "They're going to continue their pro-abortion stance." ... "

South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham

Lindsay Graham has earned himself a new position in the annals of RINO history. I don't know how much you can take of this video but try to watch if, especially if you are from South Carolina. ... "

Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha - as low as you can get without being John Kerry

"... LtCol Chessani immediately reported the deaths of the 15 civilian Iraqis to his superiors. Upon hearing of the 15 civilian deaths, not one of LtCol Chessani＊s superiors 岸 including top generals 岸 considered it unusual. Not one ordered a further investigation. In fact, they commended him for a job well done. However, several months later, a known Al Qaeda propaganda operative instigated an inflammatory Time magazine news article written by reporter Tim McGirk 每 later proven to be false 每 accusing the Marines of massacring innocent civilians. Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha, a leading anti-war critic, saw his opportunity and jumped in. Murtha was head of the House military appropriations subcommittee 每a position with significant power over the military. He echoed the Time magazine story. Murtha appeared on several major television networks and publicly accused the young enlisted Marines of ※cold blooded§ murder and Marine officers of a ※cover-up.§ He blamed it all on the stress of being in Iraq too long. Incredibly, these accusations were made even before the investigation was completed. Murtha was the same person caught on tape negotiating bribes with Arab Sheiks during the FBI＊s 1980 Abscam investigation 每 he was an un-indicted co-conspirator in that case. The trumped-up charge: failing to properly report and investigate the November 19, 2005 incident. The Government did everything it could to convict LtCol Chessani. It spent millions of taxpayer dollars, employed over 65 Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agents 岸 the largest investigation in that agency＊s history 岸 and granted immunity to scores of witnesses, all in their attempt to make Jeffrey and the ※Haditha Marines§ political scapegoats. ...

Federal Judge Vaughn Walker - " ... "Californians and Americans are waking up to the awful realization that the written Constitution may have no authority, oaths of office might be meaningless, and our republic is severely threatened by tyrannical judges and politicians. Bolstered by the broken oaths and homosexual 'marriage' demands of Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vaughn Walker has proven himself to be a tyrannical judicial activist devoted to satisfying himself, rather than being a faithful, duty-bound supporter and defender of the written Constitution." ... " He continued, "Walker knows that his ruling will be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and could be overturned, yet he seems to care little about a peaceful process. By demanding that homosexual 'marriages' begin Aug. 18, Walker is demanding his own way, despite normal legal processes, despite his oath of office, and despite the written words and contextual origins of the U.S. Constitution. If these were the days of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, federal marshals would arrest and imprison Vaughn Walker as a traitor and domestic enemy of the United States Constitution."

Mainstream Media

Undisputed leader of the muslim and socialist worlds, Kenyan, Barack Obama, aka Barry Soetoro (born in Indonesia according to Chris Matthews)

Obviously the internet isn't big enough to hold all the examples of this either but I guess there is no reason to delay an entry for public enemy #1: "Recess is usually a time for game-playing--and in Washington, it's no different. With Congress out of his hair for the week, President Obama couldn't resist hiring another radical socialist for one of the most important jobs in America. Knowing that many in his party wouldn't support him, the President used a recess appointment to force Dr. Don Berwick into the top spot at Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). By sidestepping the confirmation process, the White House also avoided a messy public debate over Berwick's fanatical support for "death panels" and rationing. To justify the move, the President's communications director said Republicans were stalling the nomination--but, as everyone with any political sense knows, the GOP couldn't stall Berwick if they wanted to! Under Senate rules, the majority controls the committees. So it's the Democrats--not Republicans--who decide when to hold hearings and schedule votes. They refused to do either, which should indicate just how offensive this nominee is. FRC has fought his appointment since the White House originally floated his name. As the head of CMS, Berwick will be in charge of almost a trillion dollars in benefits, not including the massive expansions of Medicaid under the new health care law. And just to give you an idea of how powerful his post will be, the Senate Republican Policy Committee explains that CMS is larger than all but 15 of the world's economies. Obviously, the President's decision to seat Berwick without so much as a hearing is shocking for a job of this magnitude. "It's nearly unprecedented for an administration to recess appoint [someone] that has not even come up for a hearing. It's unfortunate that President Obama saw fit to take this extraordinary step," said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), "and appoint an individual charged with overseeing a benefits budget larger than the economies of Denmark, South Africa, and Israel combined without so much as a hearing to examine his views." So what are these "views" that the White House is so desperate to cover up? For one, Berwick is a socialist. He was caught on video suggesting that "any health care funding plan that is just... must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer..." Secondly, he thinks it's cheaper to let sick patients die than provide care. "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care," he said last year, "the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open." He is, in his own words, "romantic" about nationalized health care, particularly Britain's system. He despises free market capitalism. And the list goes on and on. Congress is right to be outraged. Senators like Tom Barrasso (R-Wy.) were stunned to learn that while they're on vacation, President Obama gave Berwick the keys to one of the biggest federal agencies in the country. "Because this post administers the Medicare program, it touches virtually every senior in America ..." he said. "This recess appointment proves [that Obama] did not have the support of a majority of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate... Once again, [the President] is going behind closed doors out of fear the American people will learn that Dr. Berwick plans to use rationing as a cost-cutting tool."

The United States Government and its Kenyan leader

Obviously the internet isn't big enough to hold all the examples of this but here is a start: " ... Three days after the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began on April 20, the Netherlands offered the U.S. government ships equipped to handle a major spill ＃ each Dutch ship (had) more cleanup capacity than all the ships that the U.S. was then employing in the Gulf to combat the spill. ＃ The voracious Dutch vessels ＃ continuously suck up vast quantities of oily water, extract most of the oil and then spit overboard vast quantities of nearly oil-free water. (But) nearly oil-free isn＊t good enough for the U.S. regulators, who have a standard of 15 parts per million 〞 if water isn＊t at least 99.9985% pure, it may not be returned to the Gulf of Mexico. Incredibly, U.S. regulators would rather have hundreds of square miles of water and priceless shoreline polluted than contain the spill with equipment that might allow slightly less than perfect water back into the Gulf of Mexico. ... When the Obama administration by its own inaction allowed a serious problem at a single oil rig to turn into an economic and environmental catastrophe, it conducted a demonizing blitz against BP that culminated with a $20 billion raid on the company＊s treasury. ... [not that bp is totally innocent]"

Democrats

"07/02/2010 Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the "deeming" document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget. The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed. Never before -- since the creation of the Congressional budget process -- has the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct, recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer money. House Budget Committee Ranking Member Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) warned this was the green light for Democrats to continue their out-of-control spending virtually unchecked. "Facing a record deficit and a tidal wave of debt, House Democrats decided it was politically inconvenient to put forward a budget and account for their fiscal recklessness. With no priorities and no restraints, the spending, taxing, and borrowing will continue unchecked for the coming fiscal year," Ryan said. "The so-called ＆budget enforcement resolution＊ enforces no budget, but instead provides a green light for the Appropriators to continue spending, exacerbating our looming fiscal crisis." ... "

Dennis Thompson and the Collier County [Florida] School District

"For years, the Collier County School District [Florida] allowed World Changers to offer Bibles to interested students during non-school hours on Jan. 16 in honor of Religious Freedom Day. But since last year, the superintendent [Dennis Thompson] and the Community Request Committee have refused to grant permission to the Southern Baptist Convention-related mission group to do so. School officials claim Bibles do not provide any educational benefit to the students and thus distribution should stop."

Robert Chatigny

Chatigny: Obama's Gift to Sexual Predators When the President's nominees are too extreme even for liberal Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), be afraid. Be very afraid. Yesterday, during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Feinstein was visibly upset over Judge Robert Chatigny's history of coddling sexual predators. One Hill staffer sent over this note, "The Dems are clearly upset that they are being asked to support this nominee. Feinstein, horrified after hearing [Sen. Tom] Coburn's comments [on Chatigny's record] asked [Chairman Pat] Leahy for another week before the vote. She said in 18 years she has never asked him for anything, and she wanted an extra week. Denied." (Fast forward to 31:10 of this link to watch the video.) Despite Sen. Feinstein's protest, the Committee voted Chatigny out of committee on an 11-7 party-line vote. This is a nominee who said he identified with a serial murderer who confessed to killing eight young girls. On a phone call about the case, Chatigny said he could "well understand where [the killer's] coming from." In fact, the judge insisted, he "should never have been convicted" in the first place. Apparently, neither should child pornographers. Judge Chatigny slashed their sentences below the state minimum in 75% of his court's cases. It's pretty clear that this judge sympathizes more with the sexual predators than their victims and families--yet President Obama wants to single him out for promotion to America's second highest court. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), perhaps warming up for a bitter debate over Elena Kagan, took the Committee to task for even considering Robert Chatigny. "He should not be elevated to the Second Circuit. That's one step below the United States Supreme Court. The Second Circuit consistently handles some of the most important cases in our country... It's a very august position that should not be given to just anybody... [especially someone who] allows their personal feelings and biases [to] lead them astray and violate the law."

Cathy Zoi

" ... It＊s people like [DOE＊s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Assistant Secretary Cathy Zoi. Her resume could serve as a template for bright, motivated ideologues searching for a career path that combines government service with personal financial gain. Along with stints working in the Clinton White House and EPA, she helped Al Gore found The Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit group that Gore claims receives his earnings from green technology investments. Gore felt the need to make that statement in response to questions by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asking how much he stood to gain from Obama-engineered climate change legislation. But while Gore＊s moralizing-for-profit is merely self-serving, Zoi＊s financial stakes in two green technology companies put her in a potentially corrupting position. According to her financial disclosure statements, Assistant Secretary Zoi owns between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of shares in Landis+Gyr, while her husband is an officer with stock options at Serious Materials. Landis+Gyr is the preferred provider for so-called ※smart meters§ that allow a power company to monitor and limit the amount of energy a home uses. (You read that right.) Serious Materials was praised in a speech by President Obama for opening a manufacturing plant in Pittsburgh that makes more energy efficient windows. Or, as they say at DOE, ※weatherized§ windows. ... "

"Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, among others, that 'This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.'" Check out the disclaimer below: ... That disclaimer was taken from Wilder's copy of "The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and The Articles of Confederation." The question to ask is why is this disclaimer even needed? Is the company so afraid of offending someone with the Constitution that it has to put up a warning? One Amazon.com reviewer hit the nail on the head by writing: Really we need to have a disclaimer on our historic documents? The constitution is more important now than any other time in our nations history. I will check every book I purchase and ensure it is not published by Wilder Publications until they stop printing the constitution with a disclaimer.

Mexico and it's Kenyan ally

" ... Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution says that the United States "shall guarantee to every State a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against invasion." The state of Arizona is being invaded, has so declared in the passage of S.B.1070 and in letters from the governor to the president, and the state has asked for federal help to repel that invasion. Obama's failure to respond to Arizona's call for help is an outrage. His sending a token 1,200 National Guard troops is more than an insult to the citizens of Arizona, it is an insult to the plain words of the Constitution. Obama cares more about being popular in Mexico than in Phoenix or Houston, and that portends a constitutional crisis. Anyone who doubts that the Mexican government has declared war on the United States need only read the speeches of Mexican officials and Mexican legislators. Mexico declares openly and unabashedly that it has the right to send as many Mexican citizens 每 newly baptized as "migrants" 每 across our borders as they choose, for the benefit of Mexico's economy, with no regard for the sovereignty of the United States. ...

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley

" ... Or do you defend yourself and exercise both your inherent right to self-defense and your Second Amendment right to bear arms? For the homeowner in question and his wife, he chose the latter. As a result, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran and his wife live to enjoy many more days together. In contrast, the armed burglar, a career criminal who discharged his own weapon twice during his assault, provides a vivid example to other potential armed robbers. Namely, that you risk death at the hands of armed homeowners in an America whose Constitution explicitly protects the individual right to keep and bear arms. As one would expect, the vigilant homeowner is a hero in the eyes of neighbors and the Chicago community. Neighbor Shaquite Johnson labeled him a ※hero§ for defending himself against the now-deceased attacker, noting that there is now ※one less criminal§ threatening them all. She added, ※they don＊t bother no one, so why would anyone do that to them?§ Curtis Thompson, another neighbor, commented that, ※it＊s a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead.§Preposterously, however, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley doesn＊t see it that way. Of course, he enjoys the protection of armed bodyguards. Unable to assemble a grammatically coherent statement, let alone an intellectually coherent one, Daley responded to the incident by proclaiming that ※guns is not the answer:§ ※I understand the situation and I understand. What I＊m saying is all of us have to understand that guns is not the answer to problems we see in homes and on the streets of America. It＊s just as simple as that.§ Even worse, Mayor Daley refused to say whether the homeowner would be charged under the city＊s handgun prohibition. That would be the same handgun prohibition likely to be overturned by the United States Supreme Court within the month. So tell us, Mayor Daley＃ If ※guns is not the answer§ to stopping a potentially murderous pre-dawn armed invader, what is? ...

Homosexuals

Homosexuality is like an insidious virus that drives everyone insane. What is going on 'out of the closet' makes it very obvious why God commanded the death penalty for homosexuality. Homosexuality destroys everything and everyone in a society: " ... How bad are things this year? Let's start by putting things into perspective. As the Boston Globe recently observed, the FY2011 budget passed by the Massachusetts Senate makes across-the-board cuts at almost every level of state government. Local aid and school funding are cut by $160 million, which will cause teacher layoffs and larger class sizes. The judiciary is being cut by $8 million. Higher education is being cut by $51 million and UMass students are having their fees raised by $1100. State homes for mentally disabled people are being closed, to the outrage of many families. The state will even be closing bathrooms and visitor centers at highway rest stops. The list goes on and on. But there's one budget area that's being raised tremendously: Homosexual programs in the public schools under the Commission for Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth. ... "

Dr. Norman Spack

" ... This week Boston's National Public Radio affiliate did a slick (and very disturbing) show on it. The show highlighted problems of "transgender children" in their efforts to "become" the opposite sex. They featured the efforts that misguided parents are taking to encourage that, including sending kids to a "transgender camp." But worse, they interviewed in studio Dr. Norman Spack, the bizarre doctor at Boston Children's Hospital who gives young children powerful drugs to delay their puberty so they can be more easily operated on later to "change" their sex. In the show, Spack's work was celebrated as groundbreaking. It was a textbook NPR bias piece - sophisticated, emotional, erudite, progressive-sounding and thoroughly slanted. It had to be, because the subject matter was thoroughly disturbing and radical. ... "

Nancy Pelosi

※We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,§[Nancy] Pelosi said, ※a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.§

This has always been the problem with all forms of socialism and communism. Some people just won't do a good job or won't even work because they know the rest of the people have to take care of them. And it doesn't take long before the working people start producing less quality, less quantity, and finally quit working altogether, because they are sick to death of working hard while the benefit goes to those who are worthless paracites. Without a revolution that places Godly men like America's Founding Fathers (not today's pastors and TV evangelists) the United States is finished.

John Morton

A top Department of Homeland Security official said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities. John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-AL, said it appeared the Obama administration is "nullifying existing law" and suggested Morton may not be the right person for his post if he fails to enforce federal immigration law. "If he feels he cannot enforce the law, he shouldn't have the job," Sessions told Fox News. "That makes him, in my view, not fulfilling the responsibilities of his office."

Good Men Who ACT To Stop Tyranny

Imperial County California

"The arguments soon will be lining up in a federal appeals court over the voter-approved Proposition 8 in California 每 which restricted marriage to one man and one woman 每 and now one government in the state has weighed in to support the voters' will. Imperial County is "the first, and will probably be the only, governmental entity to file an appeal with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals" in the case, according to Advocates for Faith and Freedom, which is representing the county. State officials, including Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown, steadfastly have refused to defend their own constitution. "Ultimately, the county is the sole governmental entity willing to defend a constitutional amendment that was overwhelmingly supported by the voters in the county of Imperial, ... " "

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

" ... when Christie declared a state of fiscal emergency, signed an executive order freezing state spending and cut $13 billion from the New Jersey budget. His discipline on spending is matched by his principled stand against tax increases. When the state legislature passed a ※millionaire＊s tax§ late last month, Christie vetoed the bill ＃ within two minutes. This grows out of a simple conviction. In the governor＊s own words, ※I don＊t think there＊s anybody in New Jersey who believes government has a revenue problem. Government has a spending and debt problem and the only way to tackle that is to choke off the money sent to government.§ ... "

Arizona Commissioner Gary Pierce

※I received your message; please receive mine. As a state-wide elected member of the Arizona Corporation Commission overseeing Arizona＊s electric and water utilities, I too am keenly aware of the ＆resources and ties＊ we share with the City of Los Angeles. In fact, approximately twenty-five percent of the electricity consumed in Los Angeles is generated by power plants in Arizona. If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation. I am confident that Arizona＊s utilities would be happy to take these electrons off your hands. If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona＊s economy.§ - Gary Pierce

... What is more important: freedom and its undergirding principles, or the entity meant to protect it? ... be careful how you answer that question, because the way you answer marks your understanding (or lack thereof) of both freedom and the purpose of government.

Thomas Jefferson--and the rest of America's founders--believed that freedom was the principal possession, because liberty is a divine--not human--gift. Listen to Jefferson:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men." (Declaration of Independence)

Jefferson could not be clearer: America's founders desired a land in which men might live in liberty. By declaring independence from the government of Great Britain (and instituting new government), [America's Founding Fathers], did not intend to erect an idol (government) that men would worship. They created a mechanism designed to protect that which they considered to be their most precious possession: liberty. In other words, the government they created by the Constitution of 1787 was not the object; freedom's protection was the object.

Again, listen to Jefferson: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men." In other words, government is not the end; it is the means. Government is not the goal; it is the vehicle used to reach the goal. Nowhere did Jefferson (and the rest of America's founders) express the sentiment that government, itself, was the objective. Listen to Jefferson once more:

"That whenever ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." (Declaration) (Emphasis added.)

Jefferson is clear: people have a right [and duty] to alter or abolish ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT that becomes destructive to liberty. To America's founders, there was no such thing as a sacred cow when it came to government. Government had but one purpose: "to secure these rights." When ANY FORM of government stops protecting sacred, God-given liberties, it is the right and duty of people to do whatever they deem appropriate to secure their liberties--even to abolishing the government.

To America's founders, patriotism had everything to do with the love of liberty, not the love of government!

Today's brand of patriotism (at least as expressed by many) is totally foreign to the fundamental principles of liberty upon which America was built. I'm talking about the idea that government is an end and aim in itself; the idea that government must be protected from the people; the idea that bigger government equals better government; the idea that criticism of the government makes one unpatriotic; the idea that government is a panacea for all our ills; and the idea that loyalty to the nation equals loyalty to the government. All of this is a bunch of bull manure!

When government--ANY GOVERNMENT--stops protecting the liberties of its citizens, and especially when it begins trampling those liberties, it has become a "destructive" power, and needs to be altered or abolished. Period.

Can any honest, objective citizen not readily recognize that the current central government in Washington, D.C., long ago stopped protecting the God-given rights of free men, and has become a usurper of those rights? Is there the slightest doubt in the heart of any lover of liberty that the biggest threat to our liberties is not to be found in any foreign capital, but in that putrid province by the Potomac?

Therefore, we must cast off this phony idea that we owe some kind of devotion to the "system." Away with the notion that vowing to protect and prolong the "powers that be" makes us "good" Americans. The truth is, there is very little in Washington, D.C., that is worthy of protecting or prolonging. The "system" is a ravenous BEAST that is gorging itself on our liberties!

Patriotism has nothing to do with supporting a President, or being loyal to a political party, or anything of the sort.

Is it patriotic to support our country ... "right or wrong"? This is one of the most misquoted clich谷s in American history, by the way. Big Government zealots (on both the right and the left) use this phrase often to try to stifle opposition by making people who would fight for smaller government appear "unpatriotic."

The clich谷, "My country, right or wrong," comes from a short address delivered on the floor of the US Senate by Missouri Senator Carl Schurz. Taking a strong anti-imperialist position and having his patriotism questioned because of it (what's new, right?), Schurz, on February 29, 1872, said, "The senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, 'My country, right or wrong.' In one sense I say so, too. My country--and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right." (Source: The Congressional Globe, vol. 45, p. 1287)

Schurz then later expanded on this short statement in a speech delivered at the Anti-Imperialistic Conference in Chicago, Illinois, on October 17, 1899. He said, "I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves . . . too wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: 'Our country, right or wrong!' They will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of TRUE patriotism: 'Our country--when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right.'" (Source: Speeches, Correspondence and Political Papers of Carl Schurz, vol. 6, 1913, p. 119) (Emphasis in original.)

... In a free society, genuine patriotism demands that our country be RIGHT, as our nation's policies and practices reflect the values and principles of its citizens. To feign some kind of robotic devotion to a nation without regard to sacred principle or constitutional fidelity is to become a mindless creature: at best, to be manipulated by any and every Machiavellian that comes along, or, at worst, to be a willing participant in tyranny.

As to loyalty to a President merely because he is President, Theodore Roosevelt may have said it best:

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth--whether about the President or anyone else."

Hence, freedom-loving Americans cannot afford to become infatuated with Washington, D.C. We cannot allow the [politicians and] propagandists on network television to distort the meaning of true patriotism in our hearts.

Patriotism means we love freedom. It means we understand that freedom is a gift from God. It means we understand that government has only one legitimate function: to protect freedom. It means that our love of liberty demands that we oppose, alter, or even abolish ANY FORM of government that becomes destructive to these ends. And it means that we will never allow government to steal liberty from our hearts.

As I asked at the beginning of this column, What's more important: freedom and its undergirding principles, or the entity meant to protect it? The right answer is, freedom and its undergirding principles. If you understand that, then you rightly understand that the current government we find ourselves under is in desperate need of replacement. And whatever, however, and whenever that replacement reveals itself is not nearly as important as that liberty is preserved.

On the other hand, if you mistakenly believe that government (the entity meant to protect liberty) is more important than liberty, you are both tragically deceived and pathetically impotent to preserving freedom. You may also have identified yourself as an enemy of freedom.

As for me and my house, we will stand with [The Founding Father's] Declaration of Independence ... I pledge no loyalty to any government that seeks to destroy our freedom -- including the current one!

... By Chuck Baldwin April 27, 2010

[As for www.constitutionpartymi.net and our house, we will stand with [The Founding Father's] Declaration of Independence ... We pledge no loyalty to any government that seeks to destroy our freedom -- including the current one!]

"When the righteous rule, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan." - God, Bible, Proverbs 29:2
Is America rejoicing or groaning right now?
What kind of rulers does America have right now?

"Religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness. [N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous, they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader." - Samuel Adams

Do you want freedom? Then you must fight to the death for truth.
"Then said Jesus ... If ye continue in my word, ... ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ... the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
- God, Bible, John 8:31-36

Nec vitia nostra nec remedia tolerare possumus.
[We can tolerate neither our faults nor their remedies.]

Turn to God America, confess your many faults, as did your forefathers. Then tare out the evil from among you, lest war, disease, famine and despotism come quickly upon you.

Federal Healthcare Legislation

"... And to secure its shady deals so that no one (and I mean no one) can avert its actions, Congress has inserted one of the most unconstitutional sections I've ever read in a piece of legislation: Section 3403 of Reid's amendment on Page 1,020 reads, "It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection." ..." We were doomed before all this, but this legislation makes it obvious to everyone. Read More

What Constitution? We are above the law, and we know better, what's good for you.

"At least common thieves don't destroy an entire health care system and socialize the American economy when they commit their felonies. Too bad we can't say the same for our illustrious Democratic senators who sold out the nation. In exchange for criminally unconstitutional favors for their respective states, they voted to pass the Senate health care bill just 38 hours after it had been made available to the public for review." Payoffs for Votes - Bribes, paying off officials for favors, is what you used to hear about third world countries and it was shameful. Now in the US it is open, on a much grander scale, and no one even blushes.

Tyranny - Forced Medical Insurance

The tyranny throughout government at all levels is just too obvious now in the United States: "... Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) told CNSNews.com that Congress has the authority to force individual Americans to buy health insurance because the U.S. Constitution ※charges Congress with the health and well-being of the people.§The words ※health§ and ※well-being§ do not appear anywhere in the Constitution. ..." Please, do your duty.

Lie to us, Deceive us, we love it.

※A loophole in the Senate health care bill would let insurance companies place annual dollar limits on medical care for people struggling with costly illnesses such as cancer.§And if you want to know just how hypocritical... how devious... how sleazy... Harry Reid and Barack Obama really are, read this from the Associated Press: ※Adding to the confusion, the language is tucked away in a clause of the bill labeled ＆No life-time or annual limits.＊§

It is time for the Montana approach.

Federal "healthcare" is going to be illegitamately forced on all Americans. To protect its citizens, each state must use the resources under its command to prevent the federal government from enforcing its new unconstitutional law. Each state needs to draft legislation along the following lines:

H.B. 1 - State of Michigan Legislature

Whereas there is no power given to the Federal Government to legislate healthcare in the Constitution and;

Whereas the Federal Government has usurped the power of the states and the people by passing healthcare legislation;

The state of Michigan hereby gives authority to the executive branch of Michigan's state and local governments to stop any federal attempt to enforce its healthcare legislation on the citizens of Michigan, by whatever power they deem necessary, including but not limited to the use of law enforcement and the national guard.

Further, the state of Michigan hereby agrees to come to the aid and defend any Michigan citizen and his neighbors who must use his or their second amendment right to keep and bear arms against a federal attempt to enforce its healthcare legislation on said citizen, because the state or local government has not yet arrived to defend that citizen.

Enforce the Constitution

Forget about "enforcing the [unConstitutional] laws we already have", you hypocrites, enforce the Constitution and remove those laws. Vote no on "enemies domestic". Vote yes on "the right to keep and bear arms" and employ them in defending the Constitution, and the natural[God given] rights of United States citizens.

The longer good men sleep, the stronger the enemy gets.

P.S. Dear States, this is your last chance to redeem yourselves and prove you are not deserving of the same judgement as the federal government.

A Sad Day for America and the Marine Corps - LtCol Chessani Retires

Monday July 19, 2010

ANN ARBOR, MI 每 He defended our Nation for over twenty-three years . . . often away from his wife and children . . . so that we could be home safely with ours. All patriotic Americans owe a debt of gratitude to this American hero.

After a protracted four and a half year legal ordeal over the ※Haditha massacre§ - a massacre that never happened - LtCol Jeffrey Chessani completed his final day of active duty service in the United States Marine Corps last Friday, July 16, 2010. Thus ended the promising career of one of America＊s most effective combat leaders in Iraq〞a political scapegoat to appease the anti-war press and politicians.

LtCol Chessani served three combat tours in Iraq as well as serving in the First Persian Gulf War and in Panama, receiving numerous awards and honors. At the time of the Haditha incident, he was commander of the 3rd Battalion (※The Thundering Third§), 1st Marines〞one of the most decorated units in the history of the Marine Corps.

This loyal Marine officer faced criminal charges as a result of a legitimate combat action taken by four of his Marines after being ambushed by insurgents in Haditha, Iraq, on November 19, 2005. He cared deeply about the young Marines entrusted to his command, and refused to ※throw them under the bus§ to save his own career.

On November 19, 2005, at approximately 7:15 a.m., a Marine convoy was rolling through Haditha, Iraq 〞 a terrorist stronghold. Suddenly, a roadside bomb went off, destroying a Marine Humvee, killing one Marine and seriously injuring two others.

The Marines immediately received fire from the ambushing insurgents, who were shooting from nearby civilian-occupied homes. A four-man fire team responded as trained: they cleared several houses occupied by the armed insurgents, and in the ensuing room-by-room, house-by-house gun battle, it was reported eight enemy were killed.

Tragically 15 civilians also died. In urban combat, where insurgents purposefully use civilians as human shields, civilian casualties are tragic, but not uncommon. In fact, sometimes the insurgents themselves kill civilians to achieve a propaganda victory by blaming the Americans.

LtCol Chessani immediately reported the deaths of the 15 civilian Iraqis to his superiors. Upon hearing of the 15 civilian deaths, not one of LtCol Chessani＊s superiors 岸 including top generals 岸 considered it unusual. Not one ordered a further investigation. In fact, they commended him for a job well done.

However, several months later, a known Al Qaeda propaganda operative instigated an inflammatory Time magazine news article written by reporter Tim McGirk 每 later proven to be false 每 accusing the Marines of massacring innocent civilians.

Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha, a leading anti-war critic, saw his opportunity and jumped in. Murtha was head of the House military appropriations subcommittee 每a position with significant power over the military. He echoed the Time magazine story.

Murtha appeared on several major television networks and publicly accused the young enlisted Marines of ※cold blooded§ murder and Marine officers of a ※cover-up.§ He blamed it all on the stress of being in Iraq too long. Incredibly, these accusations were made even before the investigation was completed.

Murtha was the same person caught on tape negotiating bribes with Arab Sheiks during the FBI＊s 1980 Abscam investigation 每 he was an un-indicted co-conspirator in that case.

The trumped-up charge: failing to properly report and investigate the November 19, 2005 incident. The Government did everything it could to convict LtCol Chessani. It spent millions of taxpayer dollars, employed over 65 Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agents 岸 the largest investigation in that agency＊s history 岸 and granted immunity to scores of witnesses, all in their attempt to make Jeffrey and the ※Haditha Marines§ political scapegoats.

Lt. Colonel Paul Ware, USMC, an Investigating Officer who heard testimony in several cases involving the charged enlisted Marines, blasted the credibility of the government witnesses and expressed concern that the allegations were nothing but a tactic ※to erode public support of the Marine Corps and mission in Iraq.§ He went on to say:

※Even more dangerous is the potential that a Marine may hesitate at the critical moment when facing the enemy . . . §

Retired General Thomas McInerney, former Joint Force Commander and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, called the prosecutions of the Haditha Marines ※despicable.§ He warned:

※We cannot fight a war like that . . . We＊re not taking care of our people.§

Evidence of what our nation lost by the unjust prosecution of LtCol Chessani, can be garnered from a few excerpts from his official Combat Fitness Report, a required annual evaluation of a Marine officer＊s performance prepared by his superiors. It covered the period of September 2005 to February 2006 岸 which included the date of the Haditha incident:

? ※Leads Marines from front in every operation. Demonstrates moral courage every day. Doesn＊t hesitate to report bad news fast or contest unrealistic plans/poor concepts. Despite the complexity and size of his AO [area of operations], he always maintains a calm, cool demeanor.§

? ※Always seeks advantage over complex, diverse insurgent enemy. Truly one of the finer thinkers in this COIN environment.§

? ※One of the top 3§ infantry/cavalry battalion commanders ※of 13 who have served with RCT 每2 [the regiment] during OIF. A superb leader, who knows his men, knows the enemy, knows his business. Doesn＊t attract a lot of fanfare; just gets the job done to an exceedingly high standard.§

? ※Long ball hitter; recommend selection for promotion to Colonel and TLS [Top Level School].§

The Reviewing Officer, Major General Huck added his comments: ※Top notch officer with outstanding potential. Promote and select for TLS [Top Level School]. Post TLS slate for Regimental command and subsequent joint tour. Unlimited potential and value to the Marine Corps. Capable of the most challenging assignments.§

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and detailed military lawyers, LtCol Jon Shelburne, USMC, and Capt Jeffery King, USMC, successfully defended LtCol Chessani throughout his prosecution. The criminal charges against Chessani were dismissed on the grounds of Unlawful Command Influence. The government lost its appeals of that dismissal.

Not giving up its quest for a scapegoat, the government then convened a Board of Inquiry to determine allegations of misconduct. On December 11, 2009, the Board of Inquiry ruled that LtCol Chessani was not guilty of misconduct, but stated he must retire without loss of rank. And on June 25, 2010, the Secretary of Navy announced his acceptance of the military Board of Inquiry findings.
