Germany Giving Jail Time for Use of Free Speech!
WorldNetDaily reports that "a 55-year-old Lutheran pastor will spend a year in jail for comparing Germany's abortion rate of 150,000 annually to the murder of Jews in Auschwitz during the Holocaust, according to Salem Voice Ministries. "
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56420
Another gem from the article is the following unbelievable quote:
"Creationism, born of the denial of the evolution of species through natural selection, was for a long time an almost exclusively American phenomenon," the report says. "Today creationist theories are tending to find their way into Europe … [T]his is liable to encourage the development of all manner of fundamentalism and extremism, synonymous with attacks of utmost virulence on human rights."
This is just unreal! I remember learning that it was a German who started printing the first Bibles on the first printing press... must have been us Americans! Gutenberg sounds American, right? As far as it being the source of extremism, that is wrong too. Creationism synonymous with attacks on human rights? Like them taking away free speech? Sounds like what Germany is doing. The Bible teaches that as much as possible we are to live at peace with all men!
Romans 12:18 "Ist es möglich, soviel an euch ist, so habt mit allen Menschen Frieden."
(from www.biblegateway.com)
Can they be so steeped in denial that they turn to the same methods of oppression as the Nazis? Have they learned nothing? If you say anything out of line they throw you in jail and accuse YOU of violating rights! Next, speaking out of turn or praying will be grounds for an automatic death sentence! Unbelievable, right? Regardless of your beliefs on the matter, who would have thought merely saying chopping up a baby and sucking it out of the womb was bad was grounds for a year in prison?
For facts on abortion, please go to http://www.abort73.com/ Maybe someone could translate and send to Germany since they obviously never even bothered to research WHY a pastor would say such a thing to risk landing in jail. Their court system is even more of a joke than ours!

Cloture (sounds like torture?) on Amnesty Bill
I do not agree with everything on http://www.numbersusa.com/hottopic/senateaction0507.html#2
specifically about their take on the kids of WWII vets. If you served this nation, putting your life on the line so others (including your children) should live free, you have my respect.
I do not like seeing people serve solely to "check a box" these days but acknowledge their service so long as they were truly professional and adhered to the honor code. Sadly, that is not always the case as I witnessed too many violations in my short time of service. On that note: As long as you served with honor, I don't care if you served a short period of time, or a full career- you served. Remember what that means, and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Do not take that freedom for granted. Do not let it be sold so cheaply to invaders intent on destroying America.
That said, I do agree that the amnesty bill needs put down for the longterm health and wellbeing of this nation.
The following voted for cloture on the amnesty bill (a method of closing a debate and causing an immediate vote to be taken on the question):
Akaka (D-HI)
Bennett (R-UT)
Biden (D-DE)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Bond (R-MO)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Brownback (R-KS)
Burr (R-NC)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Cardin (D-MD)
Carper (D-DE)
Casey (D-PA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Coleman (R-MN)
Collins (R-ME)
Conrad (D-ND)
Craig (R-ID)
Dodd (D-CT)
Domenici (R-NM)
Durbin (D-IL)
Ensign (R-NV)
Feingold (D-WI)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hagel (R-NE)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Kohl (D-WI)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Leahy (D-VT)
Levin (D-MI)
Lieberman (ID-CT)
Lincoln (D-AR)
Lott (R-MS)
Lugar (R-IN)
Martinez (R-FL)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Murray (D-WA)
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
Obama (D-IL)
Pryor (D-AR)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Salazar (D-CO)
Schumer (D-NY)
Snowe (R-ME)
Specter (R-PA)
Stevens (R-AK)
Voinovich (R-OH)
Warner (R-VA)
Webb (D-VA)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)
Let us see how this plays out. As far as I understand, a vote for cloture is a vote for a vote... I am holding on to hope that maybe just maybe enough voted for cloture just so they can put this awful bill down as soon as possible... but that does not seem likely at this stage... People put their trust in their elected officials. That trust is on the edge of betrayal.

Letter to Senators
Sir,
I ask that you stand up for the enforcement of existing laws.
Many bloggers are quoting Theodore Roosevelt 1907 and Teddy "speak softly and carry a big stick" Roosevelt even made it into Garner's cartoon in the Washington Times (6-25-2007), again fitting for today and everyday when we look to the foundation upon which our policy and attitude of what is means to be a citizen should stand:
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907
This new amnesty plan- and that is what it is- will provide loopholes for lawbreakers and terrorists. The enforcement of existing laws is important, for if we can not and will not do what we have already said we will do, there will be no trust left between the American people and those we have chosen to represent us to make laws to keep us safe.
There must be accountability. A former senator and good man, God rest his soul, once told me that if you want something done, the first step is to write a letter. That is what I am doing, in hopes that I will be heard along with the majority of the American people apposed to this bill, and those like it.
We want clear and concise legislation, in the same plain language of our Constitution- that can not be manipulated. Every bill should stand on its own, and not be filled with unrelated and hidden riders. Such corruption of a bill is exactly that, corruption. The American people must no longer be misled.
Between "North American Union" plans for superhighway from Mexico giving unsafe Mexican trucks free access to bring who-knows-what in to our country, amnesty for law breakers, health-care problems, social security problems, the threat of WMDs, Political Correctness, funding mismanagement, speech laws, gun laws (the Constitution is clear on those yet many states have "infringing" laws), imported poisons from China in our food and products that are not inspected, etc... I wonder what straw will break the camel's back. We need our representatives to stand firm for America, before America is overwhelmed.
I beg you to please read the following article http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56274
and explore http://www.blogger.com/www.gatesofvienna.blogspot.com for more info on many current risks to national security including terrorist camps on US soil!
Very Respectfully,
------------------------------------------------------------------
Please take the time to at least copy and paste the text of the above letter or worldnetdaily article into the forms available on http://www.senate.gov/ it only takes 30 seconds or so of your time. Others have sacrificed so much more so that you could have it so easy. Please honor their sacrifice by standing up for your freedom before it is taken away.

Free speech forever!

Of course I will be labeled intolerant by the same PC-terrorist-huggers who think it's just fine for the terrorists to burn our flag and persecute Christians and Jews... but while I still have breath in me to defy tyranny I will! Hoorah to the Danes for giving them a taste of their own medicine. We must recognize the very real threats to true freedom and not tolerate those among us who want to lie, cheat, and steal away our freedoms!
Me intolerant? ABSOLUTELY! Why should we tolerate those who would deny us our freedoms that so many have fought and died for? Because it is politically correct to do so? I think not!
Now someone just needs to burn the flags of all the terrorist nations! Protest their murder of innocents! Protest their brutality towards those who would be free of their abuse!
America, prepare yourself for a rude awakening and more bloodshed in the streets than seen in generations, when the terrorists training on our soil put their training to use to come after you and your loved ones. They already have tax-exempt status and receive taxpayer funds for their security. Whenever they are exposed they vanish into the woodwork, but one day the infestation will be too large to ignore and they will openly spread their hate like a disease among our people, bringing death to our public places- much like they have been doing in the middle east for countless years.
As your rights are whittled away, so shall you see the "rights" of the oppressors flourish. See the proposed amnesty plan being pushed through that will allow terrorists easy access to us. See the lax import standards that lead to the poisoning of America by foreign nations! See us open up tremendous funds for rogue states so we may negotiate with them- money that would be better spent on our people, or people who want to be free!
We have seen what happens when Israel (literally) gives up ground in hopes of peace with known terrorists- when our politicians force them to. They are betrayed before the ink even dries. We must be aware of what happens around us outside of the mainstream media. We must cry out against such corruption and call for accountability! We must cut partisan politics down so that only those who truly care about freedom more than their pockets are elected. Let your voice be truly heard by your "representatives" who ignore you. Vote them all out before it is too late!

Sheep Wolves and Sheepdogs
The title of the blog is taken from an essay I once read that inspired me. The full text can be found at http://hobbes.ncsa.uiuc.edu/onsheepwolvesandsheepdogs.html
It is the duty of the sheepdog to protect the sheep. This is difficult, when many people are desensitized or in denial of the awful manipulations and bad things going on in our world. The people are often lead into self-destructive situations that are only visible by taking a few steps back to analyze the long term cause and effect relationship.
The many crises that face us today, when viewed one at a time, spaced out and embedded between sound bites and misdirections of events of little to no importance, over the course of weeks, months, or even years, are lost- much as you might be lost right now by reading this run-on sentence! Imagine then, being able to find a place where you can turn to get the latest information about things that are REALLY important. Not just celebrity gossip, but things that will at some point directly effect you. I've been trolling the internet for some time now and have come across many sources of news outside of the mainstream. You have too, I am sure, but my hope is to highlight as often as possible those issues which have the potential to impact the security of our nation.
A senator once told me, "The first step in fixing a problem is writing a letter. " If you can not find the time to write a letter to your elected officials demanding that they do what is right for this great nation, and that they are to serve "we the people," and not just themselves, then you are part of the problem.
To drive the point home- a democracy is only good so long as the people casting the votes are able to intelligently make their decisions, fully understanding the cause and effect relationship, and the long term implications of any given action taken by those whom they choose to act in their interests.
Look no further than Venezuala. The people were duped into electing Chavez, who had everyone's best interests at heart- or so they were lead to believe! Now he easily tramples over his people and steals the fruits of their labor from them for "redistribution." We have seen throughout history where that corruption leads: to MORE death and destruction.
We are at a point in time when we can no longer sit idly on the sidelines and let our country be dismantled by threats both internal and external. Far too many have fought and died so that we might have our rights- not so we could sit around joking about how all the politicians are corrupt and there is no hope! So long as one American breathes the breath of freedom and shares it with another, there is hope.
Find an article on www.worldnetdaily.com or www.gatesofvienna.blogspot.com and learn! Become outraged! Write your senators at www.senate.gov . It only takes 30 seconds to copy the important bits and let your supposed representatives have a piece of your mind concerning any number of atrocities they "let" happen.
Let them know you want clear and concise legislation, in the same plain language of our constitution. Every bill should stand on its own, and not filled with unrelated and hidden riders. Such corruption of a bill is exactly that, corruption. The American people must no longer be mislead. The American people must speak up, while they still can.
