It’s Constitutional… No it’s not…. Yes, it is…
September 5th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
There is quite a lot being said lately about what is one’s Constitutional Rights. These two words are being thrown about almost carelessly. Particularly with issues on the border with Mexico, Arizona’s current lawsuit involvement with the Federal government over immigration issues, and matters regarding the proposed ‘Ground Zero’ mosque, I have heard [...]

One More Time
August 29th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
Excerpts from ‘One More Time’ by John P. Schumake
It was an experiment where monkeys, or orangutans were placed in a chair and there was a device built into the chair that simulated the sudden impact of a collision from the rear of a car, and it generally resulted in breaking vertebrae of the orangutans. ..
…There was a court ruling this past Monday by Judge Royce Lambert, U.S. district Court, that will prohibit Federal Grant money for going to use in projects that result in the destruction of a human embryo. ..

It Is the Best of Times, It Is the Worst of Times
August 15th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Picture a world where, if a thief comes to your place of business an electronic eye locks on him immediately, and a vertex of laser beams focused on his chest becomes immediately visible…
…The element of surprise has been turned around….
…weaponry like auto-responsive clothing that is able to address only the attacker with sharp invisible, yet painful barbs…
…Picture a world where no one tries to be politically correct. In this world everyone is initiated into society by a method practiced since ancient times…
…Picture a world where smaller social institutions, and inter-corporate affiliations, even guilds, if you will, become the defender of those abused by a drug infested gangs, because the large, lumbering government has become a slow and overstuffed dinosaur …
Who will restore hope and order? Thomas Jefferson? Eli Whitney? Andrew Carnegie perhaps, or maybe…
Madame DeFarge.

Roll Out the Barrel
July 4th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
…banks have been held entirely responsible for a mortgage crisis that was, in large part caused by the irresponsible persuasions of House and Senate Financial Oversite Bodies …
…We watched as the Federal Government ignored the pleas of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to provide sand berms and boom to keep back the oil spill from Louisiana’s marshes and shores. …
…Individuals who are returning from tours of duty in the military and people who are active in Pro-life groups are flagged by our Homeland Security department, according to their own statements as Potentially dangerous;
…
as The Fairness Doctrine was presented as a bill with both state and federal versions that liberal groups are trying to foist upon the country, which would force Conservative T.V and radio talk shows to provide equal time for Liberal Points of view, …
What would James Madison think, who authored most of our constitution, and expressed so well those quintessential checks and balances that were designed to help keep one party or group from oppressing another…

SAFE TO SAY?
June 27th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
Excerpts from: Safe To Say?
It may have gone almost completely unnoticed, but in the former Soviet State of Georgia,
That’s what happens to Socialist leaders. Long after they have been in the ground, when the people finally feel comfortable enough to speak out, and when they believe that someone targeting bankers … are cold in the ground…
… Government comes in and dismantles the machinery, looking at it, trying to understand it, unable to…

Sad New World
May 1st, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from ‘Sad New World’
What’s happening to us? Huxley was right.
…‘This is the state’s job,’ ‘this is not my job’ has been initiated with the party loyalists, and is leaking outwards
I’m trying to figure out if the man left to die on the streets of New York, or Congress’ recent forecasting of its own devices to essentially be able to take over any and all companies that are deemed ‘too big too fail’ is the week’s worse indicator of where our democracy is headed.
… I don’t buy the rationale that people are somehow psychologically incapable of helping… Psycho-babble…
…in Roger’s Park in Chicago I saw 2 individuals fighting and the one individual was just using the other person’s face as a punching bag…
…but I did succeed in stopping the assault…
…So what has happened? I can tell you what I believe. This is just another symptom of this national move towards de-individuation, ‘the nanny state.’: ‘It’s the government’s job to come help this man.’ ‘It’s not my job.’ ‘Some policeman or some public worker needs to attend to this.’
…Did Jesus say, ‘Give to Caesar so Caser can give to the poor?’ No. If you listen to that timeless parable, the parable of the Good Samaritan, the onus is on the individual to help, not on the state….
…The more we move towards the state becoming the all-powerful orb that will meet out protection, care and health, the more we will slip into a lawless state where people abnegate any sense of personal responsibility…
Huxley was right.

Let’s Be Honest
April 24th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from “Let’s Be Honest” by Juan Zapatero
…With the Country Music Stars giving Thanks to God during the dispensing of the awards, there is some concern that they will be added to Janet Napolitano’s Homeland Security watch list of potential terrorists, along with Pro-Life Catholics, and Veterans of the Iraq and Afghan Wars…
…There is no doubt that Janet Napolitano has recently been avoiding engagement in the tea-party bashing, despite the prodding of several left-Wing News organizations. I have watched her, even somewhat gracefully indicate that the previous disparaging statements of the homeland security department were unfortunate…
…Still, quite a lot of time and attention was given this week to the notion of anti-government right - wing extremists waiting to emerge again as McVey did 15 years ago, while the War we are currently involved in, with a Muslim extremist having so very recently rampaged on a military base and killed 15 people went unmentioned. This is the current terrorism we face…
…Well, Nancy, those people in the 60’s were on the left, the people you now sit next to in Congress, finally having come down….(There’s you’re answer, Elton, 2010.) So you should have no objection to the sorts of assembly and protests that shape America. There’s nothing more American, and this time it’s the right’s turn…
…So far, the right has taken their turn in a far more peaceful manner than the left did….
…This is not a criticism. Blacks were fed for so many years the lies and blandishments that in order to succeed they needed to have the option to abort, just like they were fed many other mythological notions by liberals, such as, they really needed the hand-outs the Democrats were willing to guarantee if they were in power. This is just a form of Big-Deal oppression…

Call To A People
April 16th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
Excerpts from ‘Call To A People’
One of the Chicago Newspapers had an article that addressed the reaction of the Polish Community to the airplane crash killing the Polish President and a number of other Polish Government officials.
The reaction was something to the extent of, “It seems like we’re cursed.”
…The Son of man is not come to destroy …
…The papa, Pope John Paul II, that great lover of life, was the author of Humanae Vitae, and the tireless opponent of abortion and other forms of genocide…

Get your tee-shirts! BFD or NPD!
April 2nd, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from Get your tee-shirts! BFD or NPD!
by Juan Zapatero
We all know what BFD stands for. The White House is selling the tee-shirts.
…Ina display of showing displeasure and anger at Netanyahu because of the embarrassment Biden underwent … (like Biden needs help being embarrassed), Obama announced to Netanyahu that he was going to have dinner with Michelle and the girls, and Netanyahu would be left there to think things over…
…Interestingly, it was almost a year ago to this day that Obama bowed so low to the Prince of Saudi Arabia that he turned into a human jack-knife…
…This would predate the 6 day war, another miracle where God marvelously delivered Israel against astounding odds, Syria, Egypt and Jordan all defeated and humiliated in their attempts to defeat Israel.

Well, It’s Dinner Time…
March 28th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from ‘Well, It’s Dinner Time’
As we enter into this time of Passover and the Easter Season, I think it is important to ponder what both of these events mean in terms of being freed from captivity, and staying free.
…a very great and humble leader went to the mighty Pharoah, the mightiest ruler in the known world, to make an appeal for his people, for their preservation, and deliverance.
…for even though he was a humble man, his greatness was known and respected.
…in his anger said to the great leader, “Get thee hence! Thou shalt see my face no more! Incidentally, I am going to dinner and you and your companions are not invited. ”
