Where Constitutional Truth & Spirit Unite
KNBN Rapid City:
Former State Legislator Joel Dykstra is working on the “Save Our Secret Ballot- South Dakota Campaign”, to preserve the right of a secret ballot.
(snip)
Dykstra says saving secret ballot voting like this came about because of the Employee Free Choice Act, or the Check Card Bill.
The campaign needs 40,000 signatures to get the issue on the Nov. 2010 election ballot.

Congratulations Mark! “Liberty & Tyranny” has now been the #1 best selling book 10 out of last 11 weeks!
This is “NARCISSISM” in its extreme:
NY Times Inside the Beltway reported on May 21 that:
Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all “ceremonial swords” and anything else “that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners” for Friday’s outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama.
Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy’s list of prohibited items for this year’s graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas.
I guess he was as sword-shy, he was gun-shy:
How sad and demoralizing for our service men & women. For the 1st time in the Academy’s history, the midshipmen were not be allowed to be in “FULL” dress uniform when they graduated.
Obama is truely the “Commander in Thief”. Maybe his selective service record that has a document locater number from 2008 instead of 1980 has something to do with his disdain for our military.
A NJ judge is finally taking the eligibility issue seriously:
The federal court in Camden, N,J has granted the defendants (Obama and Congress) a second request for a time extension but wrote a lengthy order reasoning the importance of the case.
Granting the delay indicates the court is taking this case very seriously — as I read the order.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo: “My idea to sue Congress over this matter and the violations of my rights may be the key to getting this issue finally addressed. The judge in New Jersey indicates in his order that this case raises very important constitutional issues.”
You can read the full order at this quick post link.
“This is about fundamental beliefs and values and ideas … what the role of government should be in our society, and our commitment to the Constitution and constitutional principles. You know, when you add all those things up, the idea that we ought to moderate basically means we ought to fundamentally change our philosophy. I for one am not prepared to do that, and I think most of us aren’t. Most Republicans have a pretty good idea of values, and aren’t eager to have someone come along and say, ‘Well, the only way you can win is if you start to act more like a Democrat.'”

This video is for Obama, Clinton, and John McCain to see what it is really like in Iraq, that its not as bad as the media portrays and we have a civil duty to help these people of Iraq…
Listen to what John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln have to say about the war in iRaq!
In early January(2008), the Maliki government began consideration of a new law to politically rehabilitate former Baath Party members.[177]
On January 8 Operation Phantom Phoenix began in an attempt to hunt down the remaining 200 al-Qaeda extremists in the province of Diyala following the end of the previous offensive. The operation also included targeting insurgent elements in Salah ad-Din province. The ongoing conflict between Turkey and PKK [180][181][182] intensified on February 21, when Turkey launched a ground attack into the Quandeel Mountains of Northern Iraq. In the nine day long operation, around 10,000 Turkish troops advanced up to 25 km into Northern Iraq. This was the first substantial ground incursion by Turkish forces since 1995.[183][184] Shortly after the incursion began, both the Iraqi cabinet and the Kurdistan regional government condemned Turkey’s actions and called for the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from the region.[185] Turkish troops withdrew on February 29.[186]
The fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war on 20 March was marked by a speech by George Bush declaring that the surge strategy had been a success and that America was headed for victory. Critics of the war were less optimistic.[187]
Meanwhile the war went on, with American forces targeting al-Qaeda strongholds in Mosul.[188]In late March, the Green Zone in Baghdad came under repeated rocket attack, killing two U.S. government officials and injuring several others.[189] According to General David Petraeus, the attack was the responsibility of Iranian trained insurgents.[190]On a day of increased violence and suicide bombings across Iraq, the death of four soldiers brought the total death toll of American forces, since the beginning of the war, to 4000.
Let not their lives have been lost in vain!
Well, this should not come as a surprise since it worked so well for them to attach the health care legislation to a so-called urgent economic stimulus bill per Daschle’s advice. I can hear them now:
“Wow, that tactic worked so well, why not try it again and see if the public doesn’t notice,” they proclaimed.
And thus that is what they did:

Democrats in Congress have agreed to provide a $100 billion credit line to the International Monetary Fund, tagging it onto the war supplemental intended for operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.
The measure would also increase the U.S. member contribution to the IMF by $8 billion and authorize the United States to back the IMF’s plan to sell 400 tons (12.97 million ounces) of gold, according to lawmakers’ aides quoted in a Reuters report.
This would fulfil Obama’s pledge to the G20 in April, to contribute toward a $500 billion boost for the IMF, which it says will go toward “helping poorer nations” during the economic downturn.
However, what the The Treasury Department is really proposing is an international version of the Wall Street bailout; a $100 billion bailout for the IMF, which amounts to a bailout for European banks facing big losses in Central and Eastern Europe.
If the bill pasess, we will see $100 billion in U.S. tax dollars simply handed over to foreign banks with no oversight.
House Republicans, including Minority Leader John Boehner, have threatened to vote no on the war funding if the IMF money is attached.
“Let’s be clear: a troop-funding bill should fund our troops, period,” said Boehner. “Weighing down this critical legislation with nondefense spending will only drag this process out further and cost it essential Republican support needed for passage.”
“We should not be having this discussion. IMF funding has no business being included in the war supplemental” bill, said Representative Eric Cantor, a member of the Republican leadership.
The passage of the bill will be an extrememly close run contest, given that GOP votes are needed to make up for 51 anti-war Democrats who opposed it last month.
If all Republicans vote no, then the House leadership will need 18 of the Democrats to reverse their defection and vote yes.
Of course, because the IMF money is tagged onto a bill to fund U.S. troops in the field, there is increased pressure on those considering voting down the measure.
We have previously highlighted the ongoing agenda to vastly empower the IMF and transform the institution into a “bank of the world” with the power to print its own currency.
This is not a “conspiracy theory”.
As the Washington Post highlighted two months ago, the agenda is laid out in publicly available internal IMF documents, interviews and think-tank reports.
It is part of an open move to empower a group of unelected central bankers with the authority to usurp state sovereignty by overseeing benchmarks for national economic governance and setting regulations for financial institutions all over the globe.
As we have also previously highlighted, both the IMF and the United Nations have thrown their weight behind proposals to implement a de-facto global financial dictatorship.
Both bodies have expressed support for new world reserve currency system to replace the dollar as part of the acceleration towards a new economic world order.
Here are our brillant treasury and fed reserve leaders in March making the case for a new world monetary system:

Funding for troops protecting our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan has officially been placed on hold while Democratic leaders try to secure enough Democratic votes to attach to the legislation a $108 billion global bailout for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – a bailout that could line the pockets of terrorist regimes around the world, according to Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA). In a letter to his colleagues earlier today, Rep. Sherman warned, “We face the very real possibility that some of the world’s worst regimes will benefit from the additional resources provided to the IMF, World Bank and other international institutions, unless the U.S. works vigilantly to deny this assistance.”
An initial troop funding bill passed the House last month by an overwhelming bipartisan majority – 368-60. And the final version of that legislation could pass the House right now by an equally strong margin, giving our men and women in uniform all the tools they need for success in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, Democratic leaders seem willing to let that bipartisan coalition unravel as they barrel ahead with their global bailout scheme.
Time to burn up the congressional phone lines: 202-224-3121.
With the appointment of a new “Internet” czar coming down the road in the near future, my mind continues to question “just what is the purpose of all these czars”? Why after 233 years does this administration feel that the United States of America is in need of all these appointments whom will have to answer to absolutely “NO ONE” but the Oval Office and has authority to by-pass Congress? What is happening to our system of “Checks and Balances”?
Looking into the definition and then the thesaurus for other synonyms for the term Czar, it doesn’t take a genius or a collegiate to figure out that “socialism” is not on the mind of our now rogue central government in DC:
(noun)
*A person having great power; an autocrat: “the square-jawed, ruddy complacency of Jack Farrell, the czar of the Fifteenth Street police station” (Ernest Hemingway)
*An appointed official having special powers to regulate or supervise an activity
Moby Thesaurus words for “czar”:
Dalai Lama, Holy Roman Emperor, Inca, Kaiser, Simon Legree,
absolute monarch, absolute ruler, all-powerful ruler, ardri,
arrogator, autarch, autocrat, bey, cacique, caesar, cham,
commissar, despot, dictator, disciplinarian, driver, duce,
hard master, kaid, khan, martinet, mikado, negus, oligarch,
oppressor, padishah, pendragon, pharaoh, rig, sachem, sagamore,
shah, sheikh, shogun, slave driver, stickler, tenno, tycoon,
tyrant, usurper, warlord
GET THE PICTURE!
UPADTE: HotAir is reporting that there will be yet another appointment of a “Great Lakes” Czar. While the administration would like us to believe that it is for enviromental purposes, we all know the Great Lakes are vital to imports/exports, military movement and movement between the US and Canada.
“Those are the folks who want to tell me, they want to tell you, to sit down and shut up. We will not do that. I just can’t, because I love my state. I love my country.”
