Saturday, May 19th, 2012Hillsdale College free Constitution course.
Monday, April 30th, 2012Hillsdale College is offering a free, ten-week online course on the Constitution. Their goal is to have one-million people take the course.
Having just finished the course I can tell you that I learned much from the content. I disagreed only on a couple of points. They are of the opinion that the Anti-Federalists were against the Constitution, for example, because they were for slavery. George Clinton writing as “Cato” complained in his third letter to the New York Journal in 1787, “The people who may compose this national legislature from the southern states, in which, from the mildness of the climate, the fertility of the soil, and the value of its productions, wealth is rapidly acquired, and where the same causes naturally lead to luxury, dissipation, and a passion for aristocratic distinction; where slavery is encouraged, and liberty of course less respected and protected;…” He argued under the new Constitution, “…that the slave trade is, to all intents and purposes permanently established…” in his fifth letter.
Most of the Anti-Federalist, in fact, were from New York and Connecticut and other states that were “free States” at the time.
In addition you can download portions of their Constitution Reader. You can also order a copy of the book. The course section on the growth of the progressive movement is particularly interesting.
The course does not delve into the mechanics of the Constitution itself, but the history and the words of the founding fathers. It is a great place to get started on your own research of the Constitution.

Stuff you might need to download from the Internet. Before it’s too late.
Saturday, March 17th, 2012A friend recently sent an email to me with a list of movies and books which a patriot should view or read. I had already seen much of the material, but it cost money. I realized how much was on the World Wide Web. Thus, I took it upon myself to develop a listing of interesting information which you can read, view or download.
Of particular interest are old military produced videos that are available through the public domain. Many of the titles are just interesting and others are useful. Did you know that some of the Foxfire books are available on the Internet, for example?
The Project Gutenberg listing goes on-and-on. There are yet other titles that I intend to add when time permits. You can use their search engine to find other titles. They have a lot of fiction titles and interesting non-fiction that have slipped into the public domain.
Archives.org is a good source of downloadable old movies and documentaries. You have to dig for what interests you most, like many other web sites.
Another source of old war movies is Hulu.com. Hulu.com is a web site with many old television series and movies.
Some of the titles interest me in particular. Some of these links are added because they are humorous.

I guess it’s just my week. Phone scam calls back.
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012After reporting an email scam directed to the owners of domain names by someone under the name of John Sean, I received a phone call just minutes ago. The caller—from 876-282-6617—informed me of my prize for $385,000 and a new Mercedes Benz. Wow.
Want to guess what the scam was?
Barrack Obama is going to send me $5.5 million. Really.
Barrack Obama getting cheaper, but will pay my taxes.
It was a different guy and I could not find my recorder, but it was the same accent as the guy who called for the scams in the previous articles. I did not bother to find out if he was going to use the Barrack Obama ploy, but he did say that he was with the UPS in Flagstaff.
Maybe I should have asked if I could save the “delivery fee” by picking the prizes up myself? I have to remember to keep that recorder at hand.

KPHO tells it like it ain’t
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012Pull down your skirt. Your media bias is showing.
KPHO television conducted a news report on their station in which “average people” would be given a gun and sent down to the border in the form of the Arizona Special Missions Unit. This, of course, is meant to imply the superiority of the United States Government and National Guard who have done nothing to stem the tide of illegal alien traffic and whose battle cry has been that the border is more secure now than it has ever been.
They interviewed Senator Steve Gallardo who is opposed to stopping illegal immigration who stated that it would draw racists. They used a partial clip of National Guard General Salazar stating that it would take a lot for him to feel comfortable with sending people to the border with guns.
They did not interview any of the approving Senators except for the author of the bill, Senator Allen. One of them a former special forces member gave several specific examples of the federal government training groups in foreign countries in arms in a short amount of time. They did not show the testimony over the last months which stated that no one would be assigned to missions that they were not trained for.
The newscasters, obviously having not read the legislation, failed to point out that the organization cannot act in a community without the permission of law enforcement. They did not even know that the legislation has been around for some time to form the Arizona State Guard and this is a new development to change it to the Arizona Special Missions Unit.
They also did not point out that border security is one of the missions. Others include “To respond to natural and manmade disasters. For search and rescue efforts. To support community activities.”
Their own poll, as of this writing, shows 67% for the project and 33% against.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

“The qualifications are you have to be a conservative, smaller government, lower taxes, more liberty, balanced budget at all levels of government.”
“We are playing the roll out at the end of the week, I will send you an email with Website and Facebook URLs…we have laid the ground work and are anxious to start taking donations, we will be working through Paypal so rest assured everyone’s security will be protected,” he added.
Currently, you can contact the PAC at southernarizonaconservativepac@gmail.com or phone 520-256-5333. Their web site is expected to be online soon.

Nationwide NDAA 2012 Congressional Protest
Monday, January 30th, 2012
Following the successful (at least temporarily) Wikiprotest against the SOPA/PIPA legislations in the United States Congress, others are trying to form protests against the equally disturbing National Defense Authorization Act.
Opponents of the NDAA have pointed to Section 1301 of the bill as giving the government power to send the military to arrest American citizens who are deemed to have materially supported Al-Qaeda. The question is who deems that a person has done so since the judge and jury is the military. George Mason worried about just such types of legislation. At the ratifying convention in June of 1788, he said, “I humbly conceive there is extreme danger of establishing cruel martial regulations. If at any time our rulers should have unjust and iniquitous designs against our liberties, and should wish to establish a standing army, the first attempt would be to render the service and use of militia odious to the people themselves; subjecting them to unnecessary severity of discipline in time of peace, confining them under martial law, and disgusting them so much, as to make them cry out, give us a standing army. I would wish to have some check to exclude this danger; as, that the militia should never be subject to martial law, but in time of war.”
The public event was started on Facebook By Suzanne Noel and is planned for February 3rd. Her event description reads, “Americans across the country will gather outside congressional offices Feb. 3rd from noon to 7 p.m. to protest NDAA 2012 (H.R. 1540). You will find your protest location by looking to see how your congressmen voted.” She adds links to the offices and votes of your senators and representatives.

Montana Launches Recall Efforts Against NDAA Supporters
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012With a growing number of Americans becoming alarmed at the recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act because of its provisions allowing American citizens to be indefinitely detained and denied due process, some states and even counties are taking action. The state of Rhode Island, as well as Colorado’s El Paso County, have drafted resolutions to nullify the NDAA, a step that other states and counties are soon expected to follow. Likewise, the state of Montana has launched an effort to recall their Senators — Democrats Max Baucus and Jonathon Tester — as well as Republican Congressman Dennyi Rehberg, all of whom voted for the NDAA.
Montana is just one of nine states with constitutional provisions asserting the right to recall members of its congressional delegation for reasons including a violation of their oath of office. The Montana Code 2-16-603 reads: “(2) A public officer holding an elective office may be recalled by the qualified electors entitled to vote for the elective officer’s successor.”
The other eight states are Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana , Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wisconsin. In New Jersey, efforts to pass such a law failed when a state judge declared that “the federal Constitution does not allow states the power to recall U.S. senators.” Critics of that decision contend that the 10th Amendment to the Constitution in fact does permit such a law.

Navy Crew Helps Out in Amazing Ravine Rescue
Saturday, January 14th, 2012A Navy construction crew passing by the scene of a horrific wreck joined forces with emergency rescue workers to keep a mangled BMW carrying a California mother, her 10-year-old daughter and 10-week baby from slipping off a bridge and plunging into a 100-foot deep ravine.
The vehicle dangled off the bridge Thursday after being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer, which broke through the concrete barriers and fell into the creek bed. The truck driver was killed.
Santa Barbara County, Calif., Fire Department rescue workers had been trying to pry Kelli Lynne Groves and her children out the car when the Navy Seabees were driving by with their equipment.

On further consideration of SB 1083
Saturday, January 14th, 2012by Glen Davis
I have been following the formation of the Arizona State Guard since I read that Governor Jan Brewer authorized its formation. I support it fully.
As I read the current submitted legislation—SB 1083—I understand the guard to be part State Defense Force and part law enforcement. However, it is under the umbrella of the militia.
Much of the legislation does comply with a Constitutional militia. On lengthier review, however, I find that it uses too much military and not enough militia. I sent my concerns in this area to the Governor and Senator Sylvia Allen.
One concern I have is the use of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Judge Advocate General of the National Guard. It could be that they are trying to avoid the government objections to this project to prevent a law suit similar to that of SB 1070.
It should be remembered that the Second Amendment was added for a very specific reason. 1st, the militia are NOT TROOPS in the sense of Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution.
In Perpich v. DOD of 1990, Mr. Justice Stevens noted, “It is undisputed that Congress was acting pursuant to the Militia Clauses of the Constitution in passing the Dick Act. Moreover, the legislative history of that Act indicates that Congress contemplated that the services of the organized militia would ‘be rendered only upon the soil of the United States or of its Territories.’ H.R.Rep.No. 1094, 57th Cong., 1st Sess., 22 (1902).”
The Dick Act is the act that formed the National Guard. That act was amended in 1908 to include service within and without the territories of the United States. The National Guard takes a dual oath to the United States and the State. When they are “federalized,” they are relieved of duty in the National Guard and a part of the army. It is a complex system which basically eliminates their character as “militia.” The District court rejected the claim of Governor Perpich, “holding that the federal Guard was created pursuant to Congress’ Article I, § 8, power to raise and support armies.” They are a branch of the standing army.

File-Sharing Recognized as Official Religion in Sweden
Saturday, January 14th, 2012Since 2010 a group of self-confessed pirates have tried to get their beliefs recognized as an official religion in Sweden. After their request was denied several times, the Church of Kopimism – which holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols – is now approved by the authorities as an official religion. The Church hopes that its official status will remove the legal stigma that surrounds file-sharing.
All around the world file-sharers are being chased by anti-piracy outfits and the authorities, and the situation in Sweden is no different. While copyright holders are often quick to label file-sharers as pirates, there is a large group of people who actually consider copying to be a sacred act.
Philosophy student Isak Gerson is such a religious file-sharer, and in an attempt to protect his unique belief system he founded The Missionary Church of Kopimism in 2010. In the hope that they could help prevent persecution for their beliefs, the Church then filed a request to be officially accepted by the authorities.
After two failed attempts, where the Church was asked to formalize its way of praying or meditation, the authorities finally recognized the organization as an official religion. The Church’s founder is ecstatic about this news, and hopes that it will motivate more people to come forward as ‘Kopimists’.
