How much more abuse can the American people and OUR legal system take? If we elect one more global-socialist and/or continue to grant dictatorial power to the president, we are finished.
If this republic is going to stand, we must return the administrative branch to the limits placed on it by the constitution and hold our elected officials accountable for both their actions, and the actions of the bureaucracies they appoint... All of the actions.
It seems painfully obvious that America has elected its last president. Bill Clinton has turned a constitutional office into a monarchial despotism. He began his reign with the siege and subsequent slaughter of old men, women and children outside Waco, Texas. Last Saturday, Clinton's Gestapo invaded the home of little Elian Gonzalez and kidnapped him at gunpoint. In between these two events lies a trash heap of what was once constitutional government.
Don't be fooled, friends. Little Elian is not in the custody of his father. He is in the custody of Fidel Castro! We may as well throw the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor because America is no longer a refuge for the oppressed peoples of the world.
When America's Founders enumerated their grievances against King George in the Declaration of Independence they included the following:
"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers."
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and set hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance."
"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation."
This is Bill Clinton's resume! He has intimidated members of congress and used the judiciary to obfuscate people concerning his own criminal conduct.
He has turned the Justice Department into an American version of Germany's SS. He has used Executive Orders to circumvent the legislative branch of government and has made of mockery of constitutional law.
As with any tyrant, he has had much help. The Socialist members of his own party march in lock step to his machinations. The mainstream media since before 1992 has been nothing more than Clinton's Department of Propaganda. Republicans, too, have been Clinton's enablers. Time and again, they have rolled over like toothless lap dogs.
The picture of that federal agent with his fully automatic assault rifle pointed at the head of that little six year old boy could be compared to a picture from Nazi Germany without one being able to tell which was which.
In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy said, "We're not in Kansas, anymore." Well folks, we're not in America, anymore!
And now the results are in:
Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms (That has changed drastically in the past 12 months). There has been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly.
Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns."
Bet you won't see this data on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or FOX evening news, read about it in your local newspaper, or hear your governor or members of the state Assembly disseminating this information.
It is time to state it plainly: Guns in the hands of honest citizens SAVES lives and property, and, yes, gun-control laws ONLY affect the law-abiding citizens. Anyone with an ounce of common-sense can readily understand that FACT.
Take Note Americans, before it's too late!
[The Texas K9 Police Association]
Of the 2.5 million self-defense cases, as many as 200,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual abuse.
Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606). And readers of Newsweek learned in 1993 that "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The "error rate" for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high."
Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.
Handguns are the weapon of choice for self-defense. Citizens use handguns to protect themselves over 1.9 million times a year. Many of these self-defense handguns could be labeled as "Saturday Night Specials."
[FIREARMS FACT-SHEET (1999) www.gunowner.org]
*** States which passed concealed carry laws reduced their murder rate by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7% and robbery by 3% and
*** If those states not having concealed carry laws had adopted such laws in 1992, then approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults and over 11,000 robberies would have been avoided yearly.

.. The Left has never thought parents important enough to be informed if their minor children have abortions, perennially opposing parental notification laws. Indeed, fathers are so irrelevant under the law that they have no say over the decision of whether or not their own children will be aborted. Elian's mother could have aborted Elian
without input from the father, but she can't give him freedom without the father's consent." --Ann Coulter
[The Federalist 4-18]
1. "In the speech in which I declared my candidacy, I focused on global warming, ozone depletion and the ailing global environment and declared that these issues -- along with nuclear arms control - would be the principal focus of my campaign."
2. "No one knows what will happen as a result of ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect and other environmental problems that cannot yet be foreseen. And, as nuclear proliferation has shown, new technology cannot be kept out of the hands of dictators and irresponsible Third World leaders."
3. "Artificial needs have been created. ... Advertising and marketing techniques have been developed that make many people feel they need things that their grandparents never desired or even dreamed of. ... It seems for many people, maybe the majority, these artificial forms .. are insufficient. A theme that appears repeatedly in the writings of the social critics of the second half of the 20th century is the sense of purposelessness that afflicts many people in modern society."
4. "Whenever any technology is used to mediate our experience of the world, we gain power but we also lose something in the process. The increased productivity of assembly lines in factories, for examples, requires many employees to repeat the identical task over and over until they lose any feeling of connection to the creative process -- and with it their sense of purpose."
5. "Like the Sorcerer's Apprentice, who learned how to command inanimate objects to serve his whims, we too have set in motion forces more powerful than we anticipated and that are harder to stop than start."
6. "Technological progress marches in only one direction. It can never be reversed. Once a technological innovation has been introduced, people usually become dependent on it, so that they can never again do without it, unless it is replaced by some still more advanced innovation."
7. "'Oh,' say the technophiles, 'Science is going to fix all that!' We will conquer famine, eliminate psychological suffering, make everybody healthy and happy!"
8. "Some argue that a new ultimate technology, whether nuclear energy or genetic engineering, will solve the problem. ... We have also fallen victim to a kind of technological hubris, which tempts us to believe that our new powers may be unlimited. We dare to imagine that we will find technological solutions for every technologically induced problem. ... Technological hubris tempts us to lose sight of our place in the natural order and believe that we can achieve whatever we want."
9. "Very widespread in modern society is the search for 'fulfillment.' .. (Yet) for the majority of people whose main goal is fulfillment, (technology) does not bring completely satisfactory fulfillment."
10. "Industrial civilization's great engines of distraction still seduce us with a promise of fulfillment. Our new power to work our will upon the world can bring with it a sudden rush of exhilaration. .. But that exhilaration is fleeting. It is not true fulfillment."
