That “piece of paper” that it has been claimed George W. Bush said, whether that is true the more interesting item is the simple fact that the Patriot Act effectively invalidates the Constitutional Amendments Four through Eight.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/04/patriot-act-advantages-disadvantages/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/04/pain-liberty/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/04/pain-liberty/#comments Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:36:37 +0000 Albert W Loescher http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6659 Than bind her weeping stripes of ten thousand cuts, should we end her agony with a merciful slice of the vessel sustaining her heart and head? Yet who of us is willing and capable of the breach of God’s laws we have long averred? So, shall we ask the one whose insouciant nature disavows those laws and is fully capable to finish her?]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/04/pain-liberty/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/03/americas-youth-bits-wisdom/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/03/americas-youth-bits-wisdom/#comments Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:36:44 +0000 Denise http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6650 Since tomorrow is the day we celebrate our independence from the tyrannical rule of Britain, I thought it appropriate to remind the youth of today of the ideals our Founding Fathers sacrificed so much for. I've elaborated a bit on some things that are being forgotten by or just not being taught to the generation that will one day inherit this great country.

The Jews of Chabad (the sect that had its members tortured to death) asked for Jews to do "a mitzvah," good works. A yoga group that had some of its members killed believes that love will triumph.

Longstreet http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6634 Months ago, as I began to write about the dangers of socialism to America, (and how the Democratic Party has become a sort of Democratic/Socialist party) I was stunned when they, the democrats, did not refute it! See, I had expected democrats to deny any connection to socialism. But they didn’t. It was then that it struck me… they don’t deny it because they can’t. Apparently, they have embraced socialism.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/03/6634/feed/ 1 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/tranquility-terrorism/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/tranquility-terrorism/#comments Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:54:31 +0000 Judie Brown http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6629 The establishment media has made a career out of doing all it can to downplay the effectiveness of pro-life activity, and as the video points out, it has done so at the expense of truth and civility. For example, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow used her June 5 television program to report on American Life League’s Protest the Pill Day as an example of how pro-life Americans abuse language because we tell the truth about how the birth control pill works.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/tranquility-terrorism/feed/ 1 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/cap-trade-price-sell/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/cap-trade-price-sell/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:34:32 +0000 Denise http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6624 Changing her vote from "nay" to "yea" was Debbie Halvorson (D-IL). She swore up and down that she would "never cave in to pressure from Obama to vote yes on cap and trade." Shortly, after a brief conversation with Barry..."I had a nice chat with the President this morning, and I'm fine with the bill." One of two things happened at that "chat": Chicago thuggery politics or she was promised pork for her district beyond anything she imagined. Nonetheless, she needs to go if she can't stand on principle.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/cap-trade-price-sell/feed/ 4 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/knowing-friends/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/knowing-friends/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:46:51 +0000 Larry Miller http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6620 Bono-Mack, Castle, Kirk, McHugh, Reichert, Smith, LoBiondo, Lance - names of Republicans who voted with the Democrats to pass the abomination called cap and trade. The sad thing about this is that we have come to expect the party of Barack Hussein Obama to sell out their countrymen in the quest of power and control. We used to expect more of Republicans, but recent events have shaken our belief that the Republican Party was really the party of smaller government and free enterprise. These eight could have helped put some luster back on that image. They chose not to do so.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/knowing-friends/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/america-2/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/america-2/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:19:23 +0000 J.D. Longstreet http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6616 Near the top of my list of things we Americans have lost is PRIDE. Pride at being an American. Pride that was earned - that was paid for by the men and women who went before me into the jaws of hell and back to free a people in a country the name of which some of them could not even pronounce. It was pride earned because Americans were a people who would lend a hand to their fellow man, far away, who yearned to be free from a brutal dictator.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/02/america-2/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/public-order/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/public-order/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:48:13 +0000 Jesse Mathewson http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6601 Public Order in the context of the Criminal Justice system and national law and order revolves around the premise that people in a society can be made to follow a single flow, path, or pattern. This single pattern allows for easier enforcement of laws, and in fact enables the creation of a much simpler code of rules, or laws with relation to the nation. Public Order is often the keystone of authors, socio-political theorists, and Hollywood movies.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/public-order/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/viva-honduras-viva-la-revolucion/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/viva-honduras-viva-la-revolucion/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:57:30 +0000 Dr. Ellis Washington http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6598 The Machiavellian plots of a would-be dictator were unexpectedly thwarted by the Honduran military last Sunday. President Manuel Zelaya, a Marxist socialist who is the protégé of his Venezuelan neighbor, President Hugo Chavez, unsuccessfully tried to turn his country into a banana republic to extend his term in office indefinitely by executive decree.

He is probably best but incorrectly remembered today as being the Emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned" in the great fire of 64 AD. (Nero played the lyre not a fiddle.) Christians remember that he used them as scapegoats immediately after the fire to shift the blame. The historian Tacitus wrote that Nero had an "immense multitude" of Christians arrested.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/07/01/days-suicide-nero/feed/ 0 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/america-silly-nation/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/america-silly-nation/#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:20:30 +0000 Alan Caruba http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6582 It is good to look back, but future generations will look back as well and wonder how such a great nation became such a silly nation, the object of scorn and ridicule around the world, challenged by every gangster nation that shares the planet; attacked by Al Qaeda, threatened by North Korea, mocked by Venezuela, insulted by Iran, and sustained by the wealth of China and other lenders.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/america-silly-nation/feed/ 6 http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/beat-congress-environmental-games/ http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/beat-congress-environmental-games/#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:27:36 +0000 Clay Bowler http://westernfrontamerica.com/?p=6578 In a single afternoon, if you were paying attention, you observed the possible death of American freedoms occur because of the words carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas required to sustain life on earth.

To think that the national peril will be corrected by putting "liberals" or "conservatives" in the seats of power is foolish. Rebuilding the nation is a job best left to those with the desire to work and build. Both Neeson's and Eastwood's characters are such men of works. Both, too, were men of courage. More importantly, however, is that both were men.]]> http://westernfrontamerica.com/2009/06/30/beat-gangs-follow-eastwood-model/feed/ 1
