It was written in the Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the prophet were sinners, whom it was the right an duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was first to board a vessel had one slave over his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of the enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once. (Wikipedia)
I acknowledge I am a sinner, and do not believe in slavery. Far be it for me to deny my eye-patched Somali brothers a trip to paradise. I stand by our guiding national policy," millions for defense, not one cent for tribute."

ReplyDeleteFound this on Craigs List, maybe something "we, the people" can sink our teeth into. If we can't do anything about Washington, and it really seems we can't, perhaps we can lessen the effect they have on us. I know you're big on states' rights.
[AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”
Perry continued: "Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, DC trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas."
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.]
Whaddaya think? What's the Hickernut take on this?
I'm for the bill, the citizens should control government,not the other way around.
