What Nerve! Arizona Plans to Enforce Immigration Law.

After 30 years of the U.S. Congress and four presidents failing to enforce our immigration laws, the most diligent and forceful immigration measure in the nation (SB 1070) became law in Arizona on April 23, 2010. Why would Arizona want to enforce current immigration law? Perhaps part of the decision has to do with the fact that Arizona has been repeatedly victimized by murder, rape, drug traffic, tens of thousands of stolen vehicles and so many kidnappings that it has become known as the kidnapping capital of America.

The new law aims to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. It will prosecute, fine and jail anyone that hires an illegal alien. It will also require police to question people about their immigration status if there is a reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally. The law will make the failure to carry immigration documents a crime and give the police power to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. While police demands of certain documents such as a driver’s license are common on subways, highways and in public places, Arizona is the first state to demand that immigrants meet current federal requirements to carry identity documents legitimizing their presence on American soil.

The United States already has illegal immigration laws, but they have been poorly enforced. How is it that we have successfully secured the South Korean border for the past 50 years, not allowing a single illegal North Korean to cross the border? We have shown that we are quite capable of securing another nation’s border, while at the same time, failing miserably to secure our own border with Mexico.

America’s current position of not enforcing its illegal immigration laws shows a lack of respect for the rights of our legal citizens and lack of respect for our borders, while at the same time pandering to illegal aliens. Where else but in America can a person break the law and be rewarded with free health care and a free education?

Although more than 70 percent of Arizona’s voters approved of the measure, there has been a great outcry against it by other people of influence. President Obama said that the law is misguided and irresponsible and it threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans. Mexico’s foreign ministry said that it is worried about the rights of its citizens. Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles said the authorities’ ability to demand documents is like Nazism. And, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund said that Arizona’s governor caved in to the radical fringe.

It’s an upside world we live in, when we celebrate that which is wrong and we chastise that which is proper and right. To fully understand how and why our many of our leaders and others believe that ‘right’ is ‘wrong’ and ‘wrong’ is ‘right’, read Shadow Truth: The Ultimate Deception by Larry J. Tate.

Kansas Spreads Out the Welcome Mat for Late Term Abortions

The Governor of Kansas has thrown his hat into the ring for ensuring that Kansas remains the Late-Term Abortion Capital of the United States. A bill requiring doctors to furnish the specific diagnosis justifying a late-term abortion was vetoed by Governor Mark Parkinson on April 16, 2010.

The bill would have helped law enforcement agencies determine if late-term abortions done after viability are being done in compliance with the law. “Viability” is the point at which the fetus becomes potentially able to live outside the mother’s womb, which is typically agreed to be around 24 weeks, even though there are living and breathing people who were born after only 21 weeks gestational age.

In defending his decision, Governor Parkinson said that according to his viewpoint, all abortions are tragedies, which is why he would encourage women who have unwanted pregnancies to consult with their partners, families, doctors and spiritual advisors. He also said that he would not encourage women to consult with state legislators, as this is a private decision and should not be dictated by public officials. Due to the fact that “viability” means that a child is capable of living outside of the mother’s womb, a frivolous late-term abortion is equivalent to murder. Yet the governor says that these procedures are strictly a woman’s decision, and the law has no place in the matter.

Peter Brownlie, chief executive officer and president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri said he is grateful that the governor vetoed the bill. Brownlie continued, saying that he wished the Kansas legislature would focus on passing the state’s budget rather than engaging in a sham exercise in political posturing. In addition to those remarks, he said that the Kansas legislature should stop wasting time playing political games with women’s health.

Kansas’ current state law bans abortions after the 22nd week of pregnancy unless a physician certifies that continuing the pregnancy would cause serious harm to the woman. But currently, doctors are not required to provide the specific diagnosis justifying the abortion. “What,” you may ask, “does the governor’s veto do?” It ensures that the existing laws on late-term abortions cannot and will not be enforced.

In Kansas, doctors may perform late-term abortions if they believe that the pregnancy seriously threatens the mental or physical health of the would-be mother. According to abortion opponents, that provision means that some of the procedures are carried out for reasons as flimsy as not wanting to miss a school dance. In 2008, there were 323 late-term abortions performed in Kansas.

This veto was rendered by a man who was put in office by an electorate made up of a Christian majority. How is it that laws are made and manipulated by representatives who have been put in office by supposedly life-respecting people?

National Day of Prayer is Unconstitutional

On April 15, 2010, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb of Wisconsin ruled that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. Bowing to the loud voice of The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a group of atheists and agnostics, she determined that the federal law establishing a National Day of Prayer violates the “establishment of religion” clause of the Constitution. The Crabb ruling generated outright glee among atheists, agnostics and others who decry any government acknowledgement of any religion as a danger.

Despite the fact that the National Day of Prayer law compels no one to pray, mandates no expenditure of federal tax dollars, is not made a part of public school curriculums and establishes no penalty whatsoever for those who choose to ignore the day, the federal judge said the law didn’t pass constitutional muster.

“It goes beyond mere ‘acknowledgment’ of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context,” Crabb wrote.

The National Day of Prayer has roots back to the Continental Congress in 1775, but was officially established by an act of Congress — which established the day in 1952 during the Truman administration.

The federal judge’s ruling was the result of a very vocal segment of our society that is bent on forcing faith out of the public square. It’s all about a movement to establish a nation that is free from religion. Although this nation is currently made up of a Christian majority, such rulings are becoming law due to the fact that our “Closet Christians” refuse to speak their minds.

The Power of One

You know it’s an upside-down world when the few have the ability to force their beliefs on the many. In March, 2010, The Ten Commandments were removed from the Stigler, Oklahoma courthouse lawn due to the complaints of one man. This one man, backed up by the resources of the ACLU successfully convinced the courts that the Ten Commandments had no place on public property.

The display which had been on the courthouse grounds since 2004 was removed due to the objections of this one man who argued that the monument amounted to an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. To add insult to injury, the court ruled that Haskell County must reimburse the ACLU for its attorney fees, costs and other expenses.

It’s an upside-down world we live in today. It’s a world where wrong is right, and right is wrong. It’s a world where the weak are strong and the strong are weak. It’s a world where religion is bad and secularism is good. We now live in a world where the few are able to control the many. Or, is that really the case?

The many elected the lawmakers of the land. Once they were given their new-found authority by the many, these lawmakers made the laws of the land. But, what good is a law unless it can be enforced? So, we saw the necessity to put judges in place to enforce the laws that were created by the lawmakers that the many elected. Some judges were elected by the many, while the others were selected by the lawmakers that the many elected. In either case, the judges of the land were put in place by the many.

Therefore, who is controlling who? It was the many who endorsed the laws that were created. And it was the many who approved the way in which those laws were enforced. There is only one conclusion left to be drawn in this upside-down situation we’ve found ourselves in: it was the many who paved the way for the few to have the power to control the many. It was the many who were ultimately responsible for the shackles that have been placed on them by the few.

In this upside-down world we live in, the few have been endowed with strength and freedom, while the many are bound in weakness and captivity.

School held hostage by the ACLU

A high school in Mississippi is being sued by the ACLU after it canceled its prom rather than permit a lesbian couple from attending. One planned to dress as a girl and the other was going to wear a tuxedo. The Fulton Mississippi school had a policy that all couples attending the dance had to be of the opposite sex, but the ACLU is seeing to it that such a policy is unconstitutional.

The ACLU sent a letter to the school informing them that there is a 1st Amendment right to bring same-sex dates to school dances. In addition to that, the ACLU stated that the Constitution’s equal protection guarantees were being violated. Forbidding this homosexual couple from attending the prom keeps them from being able to express themselves, have fun and make memories. Forbidding lesbians from attending proms is outright discrimination according to the ACLU, and discrimination should have been eliminated long ago.

Society is evolving so rapidly that two students can now control the majority. Political Correctness has run rampant on our country. We are now witnessing the times when the few can force their views and beliefs upon the many.

This event has been taken right out of today’s news. What else have you missed? You’d be surprised at the mountains of policy and law changes that are taking place right under your nose.

Biometric I.D. card to be required of all Americans

All United States citizens may soon be required to carry a biometric I.D. card. Chuck Schumer and Lindsay Graham have devised legislation to mandate that every U.S. citizen carry a government I.D. card carrying bio-metric information on a microchip. The biometric information would probably be either fingerprints or a scan of the veins in the top of the hand.

Under the guise of controlling problems with illegal immigration, our government is considering invading the privacy of every legitimate citizen. In the name of immigration control, the government may be stepping into a full frontal assault on our basic freedoms. In their defense for creating such an intrusive requirement of the citizens, the government is reminding us that we all have Social Security cards already. This new biometric I.D. card will just be a little better.

A microchip on the card opens the door for the inclusion of information such as medical information, political affiliations, criminal or civil judgments, and with the addition of a GPS chip, all travel activity of every person in the United States. Via baby steps, we may soon lose every freedom we’ve ever enjoyed.

Uni-Sex restrooms coming to a school near you.

Following the tenets of Shadow Truth, the State of Maine now believes that the Maine Human Rights statute dictates that the use of “biology-based” restrooms and locker rooms is illegal and cannot continue. Maine is now giving serious consideration to implementing this new law.

The case is centered on “transgender” students who feel that it is their right to use which ever restroom or locker room they desire to use. Lawyers are suggesting that schools are guilty of discrimination when they prevent boys who perceive themselves as girls from using the girl’s locker rooms and restrooms. Therefore, schools cannot segregate students based on their biological identity.

The fact that a normal and straight girl might be shocked and offended by the fact that she is showering with a boy is not being considered in this ruling. Rather, this new ruling is completely focused on the rights of homosexuals and transgendered persons. What led to this consideration, is a case where a school “discriminated” against a boy by denying him access to the girl’s restroom.

Maine is not alone in this matter. Currently, Colorado, Iowa, Washington state, Washington, D.C. and California have rules, policies or laws dealing with transgender restroom accommodations. The Maine rules would even apply to elementary, secondary and private schools.

The Maine policy changes are in the news today, but they are by no means new. There are innumerable evolutionary changes going on in our society today, most of which the general populace knows nothing about.
