All is Math...

If one could only understand the above statement our lives would be a better place to live. We would have so many more rational, logical thinkers that the world would be a safer, yet more intelligent place to live. You have to admit, those students that know mathematics are probably more brilliant than some English or Education majors. I'm not just saying that because I'm an Engineer, I'm saying it because it is true. It is ridiculous when I go up to a Wendy's and the lady behind the counter has to give me $0.91 in change and she gives me 9 dimes and 1 penny. What about using the other denominations? You may say that she may have ran out...well, what were all those quarters doing in the cash register? It is sad people...it is sad when the Liberals try to dumb down their own citizens in mathematics because it develops critical thinking skills and problem solving skills. At least they know what subject brews intelligence and independent thinking. One must understand that Math is universal. Sure you can have your Spanish, English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and French...but you can go everywhere around the world or the universe and 1+1=2. Unless you were learned in a constructivist mathematics school...then 1+1=5 (as long as you worked in a group to get the answer.) It is insane and we need to do something about dumbing down our children...especially in mathematics. Why do I care? It hurts me every time I see a high school senior that cannot find X for 2+X=10. Better yet, I talk to somebody in High School and their favorite class is Art or Drama. What about Calculus, Geometry, or Algebra for heaven's sake? Or at least one of the sciences. We consistently lower the bar and let more students that cannot read and write out of our school system, but hey...somebody has to cook the fries.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

VICE PRESIDENT GORE
I fight for the chickens and I am fighting for the chickens right now. I will not give up on the chickens crossing the road! I will fight for the chickens and I will not disappoint them.

GOVERNOR GEORGE W. BUSH
I don't believe we need to get the chickens across the road. I say give the road to the chickens and let them decide when and how they want to cross the road. The government needs to stop interfering with the chickens so they can cross the road.

SENATOR LIEBERMAN
I believe that every chicken has the right to worship in their own way. Crossing the road is a spiritual journey and no chicken should be denied the right to cross the road in their own way.

DICK CHENEY
Chickens are big-time animals because they have wings. They could fly if they wanted to. Chickens don't want to cross the road. They don't need help crossing the road. In fact, I'm not interested in crossing the road myself.

RALPH NADER
Chickens are misled into believing there is a road by the evil tiremakers. Chickens aren't ignorant, but our society pays tiremakers to create the need for these roads and then lures chickens into believing there is an advantage to crossing them. Down with the roads, up with chickens.

PAT BUCHANAN
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

DR. SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes! The chicken crossed the road,
But why it crossed, I've not been told!

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX
It was a historical inevitability.

SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in frying those chickens.

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK
To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

FOX MULDER
You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES
I have just released e-chicken 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of e-chicken.

EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by "chicken"? Could you define "cross" please?

GEORGE BUSH
I don't think I should have to answer that question.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN
The Road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.

THE BIBLE
And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

COLONEL SANDERS
I missed one?

Worthless Piece of...

The Federal Reserve came about through the deceptive workings of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our nation's first successful Socialist President. What did he do? He expanded our government beyond the limits granted by our Constitution, he created a welfare state that relied on the work of high-achievers, and he took us off the gold standard to create the Federal Reserve System. We won't go into details about the disservice FDR did to our government system, however we will concentrate on one thing, how he stole our gold and replaced it with worthless paper in the creation of the Federal Reserve. In 1934, FDR told American citizens that it was their "duty" to turn in their gold in exchange for paper notes. So the American citizen, who thought that the notes were still backed by gold, turned their gold in only to be made worthless by the United States going off the gold standard. It probably is the biggest robbery of the American citizens to date, besides social security that started from FDR's New Deal. Since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, no longer is our money worth anything in precious specie, no longer is the government limited on its expenditures, and no longer does our money ward off inflation. Today our money is worthless, its worth is based on our belief that it has value, and it does not fight inflation with current standards. There was a time when buying groceries with $20 would give you a cartload of food for the family. Now, by inflation, $20 will maybe get you a sub, a bag of potato chips, a 6-pack of coke (beer if you prefer) and 5 lottery tickets (you may have enough to get an old movie also). How does inflation work? Well, the economist can explain that topic better. However, whenever government needs money all it has to do is call up Chairman Alan Greenspan and ask for a loan. In turn, they will print out more money (more than the government has in the bank) for circulation. Soon money devalues causing inflation because there will be an abundant supply of money and it becomes worthless. Why is it worthless? Well, if you have a lot of something does it have more value than that item you are lacking? Sure you can have an ample amount of food, but when water is scarce you are willing to give up a lot just to get nice cold glass of water because it has more value then your abundant amount of food. Therefore, common logic works in economics as well. Thus, if common logic is required for understanding then the Liberals will not be able to grasp the concept.

The Value of an Honest Buck

Okay...now for a quick history lesson. I pose one question to my audience...What makes our money valuable? What backs our money for its value? Gold? Silver? If you don't know, then you are not worthy of it so send it all to me :-) However, to answer my own question, OUR FAITH in the dollar makes it valuable. If one day we all lost faith in our currency denomination it would be worthless. Am I a liar? Just look at how Russia and Germany needed literally a barrel of their currency in order to buy a loaf of bread during World War II. What had caused such a drastic measure? The value of their currency had decreased due to inflation and the careless over printing of money to fund the war. Could it happen to the United States of America? Let me explain further. Before 1934 our government was on the gold and silver standard. That means for any dollar value you could exchange its worth into its equal amount in gold or silver redeemable at any local bank. Why a standard? We had the gold standard to prevent government over-expenditures, to fight inflation, and not to mention to retain the value of the dollar. Remember Fort Knox? Fort Knox was where the government stored all of its Gold and Silver. Therefore, the government could only print as much money as it had in Gold or Silver. No more currency than the Gold's worth. Government could, however, get money from bonds and by other means from private citizens, but the government must pay interest just as any American would have if one took out a loan (not like today where they just take it from you in their behind-the-scene schemes). How could we have inflation if the government had such a standard and limitation to abide by? Inflation would be hard to come by on the Gold Standard. So how does the Federal Reserve come into play? Come back tomorrow to find out how the Federal Reserve came about in my last installment of this series.

The Almighty Greenspan

Hail to the Chief, that is to the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has more power then our own President of the United States, yet he is not an elected official. The chairman of the Federal Reserve takes office by a Presidential appointment. To show how different the Republicans and Democrats are economically you can compare who each have appointed as chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan for both parties. Greenspan can manipulate the markets and control the consumer index, inflation, and the interest rate. In other words, he can single-handedly depress our markets or revive them. He can even offset markets abroad since other countries take interest on how our markets performs, some countries even invest in our market. You might say, "Genghis1227 is wrong, there are other people that must vote and determine the Reserves course of action." Well, I'm sorry to say that there may be no real voting going on. Heck, they are not a public institution, they are the Banker's Bank. You go ahead and try to get a loan from the Federal Reserve, or better yet, open an account. You can't. So why do we have the Federal Reserve? Come Back tomorrow for this 3 part series about the Federal Reserve and you will get your share of a history lesson.

Why burn the American Flag?

Do you have the right to burn the American Flag? The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would constitutionally make it a crime to desecrate the American Flag. Where do you stand? Do you think it is such a crime to desecrate the American flag that one deserves jail time? Thank goodness it takes the approval of the Senate and ratification by the states to amend the Constitution. The United States Flag stands for freedom, and that includes freedom of expression. So why do we want to create an amendment to take away our very right of freedom of expression (that includes burning of the flag)? Here is another bill brought to you by your government to take more of your rights and liberties away, however it does not have a chance for the Senate to pass such a bill. The 1st Amendment not only protects those rights of the majority, but also those of the minority (even if the actions are unpopular). Thus, you have every right to desecrate the flag as you please...just make sure you don't do it around me or any other Patriotic American because you will be punished in other ways. For those of you that wouldn't stand up to burning of the American Flag then you are those Americans that do not appreciate what the flag means and represents. These Americans are the very same ones that would not go to war to protect our country and constitution. Therefore, there is no need for any amendment that further restricts our rights. Anybody that desecrates the American Flag will have to answer to me and every other Patriotic American in the United States and beyond. As one Senator put it, "The American Flag stands for freedom, thus we cannot put it above what it symbolizes."

Have you gotten a speeding ticket yet?

If you haven't received your award yet, claim your prize at your local police station. We have tolerated this nonsense about speed limits for way too long. What was it like before 1974 during the so called "energy crisis?" Was there actually an energy crisis or mass hysteria fed by the liberal media? I would not really know because I did not live in those times. However what I do know is that the mandate for speed limits proved to be another control plot to take some of our freedoms on the highway away. (Just recently they took our cell phone rights away.) Sure you got those citizens that want to say that the speed limit was enacted to "conserve energy" and to save lives. Yes, maybe it was enacted to temporarily relieve the energy crunch we may have had, but as for saving lives I beg to differ. After the "energy crisis" seem to dissolve itself the speed limits remained. Why? To improve traffic safety was their reason, although it proved that the scientific studies proved to be contrary. In 1995, Congress finally repealed the 55 mph limit and gave the states the rights to set the speed limit. What we have to question is, did a lower speed limit help reduce speeding? You can be the judge of that. Have you not speed in some ridiculously low speed limit area only to have a cop waiting for you at the end of the curb? You can bet your next ticket that speeding violations generate a massive amount of revenue for the state, thus they are less likely to want a ban on speed limits. Do you think your freedom has been run over yet?

Go ahead, teach your agenda in our schools...

The infestation of liberalism in our higher-level learning institutions breeds new brain-washed recruits for the leftist agenda. With the teaching of constructivist mathematics and the praise of FDR's socialist expansion of government in our schools, how can the right leaning individual endure the fight any longer? Are the left trying to dumb down our nation so that they can further tear our constitution in half? Liberals want Americans to be more dependent on the government so that they can just take more of your rights away. How do they advance their objectives when it blatantly goes against the American Citizen? It starts once you enter the public educational system of the United States. It takes an exceptional student with an open mind to survive this world of racist law such as Affirmative Action and the thievery of the hard-working person through taxation. How did these teachers get into our school system? How did these leftist, anti-military, pro-affirmative action teachers infiltrate our schools? They did it by dodging the draft during war and went to school to get their degrees to teach. Don't get me wrong, there are some teachers out there that are very good and care about the student. However the majority of today's teachers were the very same ones that protested war (i.e. our security) and burned the American flags when they were in college. So then one might think that the liberal Democrats are more intelligent than the conservative Republicans, thus they are entitled to get jobs in our educational system. Sure Bill Clinton and Bill Bradley were both Rhodes Scholars, but where did they go for that recognition to study? They went to England! So what is so bad about England? The English are left-leaning socialists that train our Democrat leaders of today. So who are the Right-Wing Conservative people? We are the engineers, the scientists, the mathematicians who have a skill or trade to provide for the better of our country's safety, economy, and advancement. For all of those Conservative Teachers out there...thank you and keep up the good work. However, I'm not saying that all of these trades are full of Right-Wing Conservatives, but in those fields the use of logic and rational thinking is required. The liberals do not know the meaning of these terms and how to put them to use.

Chandra Levy...Where are you?

Where is Chandra Levy? Does the Representative from California, Gary Condit know? Perhaps he does...however he really isn't cooperating with police officials even though House Minority Leader Dick Gephart believes so. I do NOT believe, at this moment in time, that he is guilty for any crime or that he is responsible for the disappearance of Chandra Levy. However, the way things are looking, his reputation has declined greatly. There has not been any evidence that has revealed the linkage between Rep. Condit and the missing Chandra Levy...yet. We are all innocent until proven guilty, thus I do give him the benefit of the doubt. However, from what I hear of what the police have recovered from Rep. Condit's apartment, it does not sound good for the Congressman. My suggestion for the Representative? He should resign his post. Why? He has already obstructed justice in my opinion. (Haven't we heard this one before? Maybe by the name of William Jefferson Clinton obstructing justice...lying under oath? How times goes by and we forget.) The police wants him to take a polygraph test and he refuses time and time again. What does Gary Condit have to hide? He has already admitted of the sexual relations with Chandra Levy, however he lied to the police about this initially. Obstruction of justice? You bet! He cared more about his own name and integrity instead of the life of a missing intern. Committing adultery is a much more minor offense than obstruction of justice. Rep. Condit and Chandra Levy are both consenting adults and have every right to do whatever they wanted with each other. Breaking the vows of marriage would be his problem though, not a problem for the United States of America, but it is our problem when a representative lies to the local authorities. Now that this story has broken into the homes of every American we now see Rep. Condit's other relationships. Maybe saying nothing was a bad idea for the Congressman, what do you think?

Obviously they play by different rules...

Bill Clinton and Gary Condit, what do these two politicians have in common? They like to have sex with interns, especially while they hold a public office. We all know the doings of Bill Clinton, so we will leave him out of this one. However, Gary Condit does not have a good excuse to refuse to answer the police's questions and he has no right to jeopardize or delay the search for Chandra Levy. If Chandra's boyfriend would have been a Godsmack-listening punk (I like Godsmack, FYI) that had green colored hair, then he would have been the first questioned. I'm not talking about delaying talks for a couple of days, I'm talking about the fact that they would have hauled his ass over to the station and put him under the lights. The reason why this case gets all the publicity is because it involves a high-ranking official. Why does it seem like they have certain exceptions? Why didn't the police go to Representative Condit and take him under the lights immediately? Why do I feel there is some double standard between citizens and their elected officials? The politicians should be comprised of the people, not the elitists. How can we look up to these politicians when we can't even count on them to tell the truth? We know that our former Criminal President Clinton lied under oath. (You try lying under oath and you will see what you get.) Why is it "ok" for the President of the United States to be able to lie under oath? He is a citizen just like you and I, who we elect to lead our country, and has to abide by the law of the land. Yet, it is all too common among our politicians who represent us to turn their back and stab us where it counts. Would you like it if someone took advantage of you, deceived you, and went around sleeping with your spouse? What if that person was elected for office by the people to represent them on the grounds of deception and screwing you around? C'mon people, wake up! We must send a signal to these politicians that the American Citizen is in charge. We must elect these officials not on the basis of their party, but solely on their character and beliefs. We elect these politicians to represent us in Washington D.C., however do you want to be represented by someone that evades the truth and obstructs justice? Does that describe yourself, a liar and two-faced individual? My point is that we elect these people to represent us, but how can they represent us truly if they do not hold to the same morals that we embrace?

U.N.-Free Zone

A wonderful city in Utah did something very appropriate and very American, they have declared themselves as an UN-free zone. What does this mean to those that live in that city? They "forbid use of the U.N. insignia on city property and spending any city funds to support the global organization." I agree that there should be no American taxpayers money to fund this Leftist, Anti-American Global Community. How is the United Nations Anti-American and left-of-center? The United Nations just recently wanted to restrict the selling of small arms to citizens. What did our representative say to the UN? He said, "The United States believes that the responsible use of firearms is a legitimate aspect of national life." What a wise man we sent to the UN to defend our constitution and second amendment. Like I said before, we need to seriously consider abandoning the UN altogether. It will destroy our nation's foundation and the way we live our lives as free citizens.

Brainwashed Individual

Blame the media, blame the Hollywood liberals, even blame the Democrats, but one thing we cannot avoid is encountering a brainwashed individual. Our country is now infested with these left, no-brainers that think in order to prevent AIDS we need more government funding. They don't realize that it is the human promiscuity that caused the success of HIV. These individuals are the same ones that ride their bikes on the roadway (even though they have sidewalks and bike paths for them), sticking their posterior in the open air, to think that they are better than the polluting automobile driver. They don't even realize their own hypocrisy for that they ride their bike home just to drive their gas-guzzling SUV to the local supermarket to go buy a stick of gum. Recently, what do we see at our local gas station? GAS Prices are going down! Oh, it must be the handling of President Bush...or better yet a relic of the past Criminal Clinton Administration. NO! It is the market setting the price through supply and demand. However, do you see any of the media recanting their scare of the typical American that summer GAS prices will remain at an all-time high? They are not even reporting that gas prices are dropping because it would just make the brainwashed liberal American all too comfortable with the current Bush Administration. By the way of Liberal Common Sense, they want people to get scared from what the left-wing media says, raise hell against the current administration, and when things correct itself (or the current administration passes some good legislation) to forget about what they were attacking before and attack some other issue without giving credit where credit is due. Ladies and Gentlemen, this describes the liberal brainwashing of our citizens.

How to be a Good Democrat

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. But if you want to be a GOOD Democrat, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare the below and see how you rate.

You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.

You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.

You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.

You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinmen are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady.

You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House.

You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

The World Court announces Sovereignty over the United States Courts...

How many of us know that a World Court exists? From the trials at Nuremburg, the United Nations (UN) has wanted to establish some type of judiciary branch in order to persecute criminals for their crimes. Recently we know that Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic faces The World Court Tribunal for war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia. I think the question we should be asking ourselves should be, "What kind of power will the World Court have in the future?" Already the United States has been accused in the World Court of crimes committed when we put to death two criminals in Arizona that were German born. Basically, Germany has sued the United States in the World Court over these Arizona executions. Now the World Court announces that they have sovereignty over any United States Courts, that is Federal courts, State courts, District courts, Municipal courts, City courts and so on. How can we allow an Anti-American organization to declare sovereignty over our own country's judiciary system? I do not want to accuse anybody, but former US President Clinton ordered the US ambassador to the UN to sign the treaty that would allow the World Court function legally. Now Croatia will allow citizens accused of UN war crimes to be arrested and extradited by the World Court. Will the United States of America follow suit? Do you want some foreign police to come knocking on your door to take you to The Hague Tribunal to face war crimes? How long will it be when they can just take you because they suspect that you are linked to a crime? Or how about speeding in another nation? Will the World Court now be responsible have the ability to persecute us even though we live in the United States and we have our own judicial system? President Bush needs to "un-sign" this treaty and denounce the World Court and the United Nations all together. We need to correct the mistakes of Former Criminal President Clinton and re-align the path of our country.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

I don't know if you realize that the teachings of Ayn Rand have had some major influence on the Libertarian Party. Don't worry, I won't bore you about the details of how her work influenced the Libertarian Party, however, I will mention one thing about this book that I happened to pick off the shelf of my bookcase, The Fountainhead. So far one quote, in the all two pages that I have read, had me thinking very deeply in what is happening to the people in America, but first I will give you the quote. This is taken from a scene where the character, Howard Roark, stands at the edge of a cliff:

"These rocks, he thought, are here for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split, ripped, pounded, reborn; waiting for the shape my hands will give them." - Ayn Rand

Why do I think that this is so profound? Why do I take interest in this one quote that stands out from the rest of the other statements that Howard Roark makes? Superficially we can tell that Ayn Rand expounds her feelings that if there are resources available from nature, then from our ability we can use this to mold and shape the earth into whatever we want. What we don't know is that Ayn Rand has exalted Mr. Roark into another plane of man's ego. Yes, we do control mother nature, however it is the individual's belief in himself that can only accomplish this task. The feeling that we are "Master's of the Universe" (although we know that engineers hold this title) gives us the power to mold and control nature. Ayn Rand teaches us that man can do anything if only he believes in himself. Maybe for this reason this quote caught my attention and made me hold back further reading to think about the meaning of this statement. This relates to our everyday lives where we have left-leaning people trying to break down the almighty individual. We are a free nation, and what makes us unique is our individualism. Why would we want to categorize people and impose quotas to accept certain races or colors for work or school, instead of looking at their personal ability and knowledge? Why do we celebrate diversity, doesn't it just divide us further to try to point out how different we are? You are a person and an individual, believe in yourself and you can make changes in somebody's life and in affect, the world. If you have to be cocky about it...that is fine too...

The 4th of July...

Okay, this update may offend, so good!  But, be warned.

    Where do you live?  I bet you live in the United States of America, the home of the free and the free to make your home.  What have you seen in the past couple of years that seems so prevalent in our daily lives?  I don't know about you, but there seems to be an influx of immigrants that our government allows the same benefits we have as Americans.  What we don't know is that they carry their own Patriotism.  I tell you people, their loyalty is not to the greatest nation on the planet, the United States of America, but maybe to some other country where most of their relatives reside.  What we are seeing is the watering down of our way of life and culture.  I do not know about you, but I believe that if people are going to hold the right to call themselves CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, then they must learn what our country stands for and take an oath to loyalty.  If they don't like it, then tough luck...they can go and see if they like living in Russia, or maybe even better yet Communist China.  However, how are we suppose to accomplish this task when our own people do not know our founding fathers of this nation?  How are we suppose to teach these immigrants of our country when the person that teaches cannot even name their Senators, Congressman, or even the President of the United States?  I don't know about you, but when I hear our National Anthem play or some emotional soldier recount what he went through to uphold our freedom, frankly I get sort of choked up.  I get a deep inner sense feeling of respect and the need to share that emotion with that person or persons.  We as Americans need to hold dear those documents that have given us our Right to Liberty, Right to Personal Property, and the Right to the Pursuit of Happiness.  We should be willing to fight for our country in the wake of invasion of a country or ideal that counters the freedoms given to us by our forefathers.  We should stand up to what we believe in and have our voices heard...WE ARE AMERICANS...if not by birthright then by PRINCIPLE and BELIEF of the right to FREEDOM.  I have had my say, now it is up to you to show your true colors on this INDEPENDENCE DAY, the 4th of July.  Have fun out there, take care, eat lots of barbecue, and expect an update on Thursday.  BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

The Oath of Allegiance for United States Citizenship

I hereby declare, on oath,

• that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
• that I will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
• that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
• that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law;
• that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law;
• that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and
• that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.

Stop Looking Over My Shoulder!!!

Has our privacy been invaded? Are we victims of a crime that steals our personal freedom to a right of privacy? Can you find cases of how the government invades our privacy unknowing to its citizens? Of course not, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of invading your privacy. If you know that somebody was going to invade your privacy, then I hope you would try to stop them at all costs. However, if you didn't know that your privacy was being invaded then how would you know who to stop and when? Take for example the United States Post Office that delivers your mail everyday. Are they invading your privacy as you wait in line counting your money? Who is to say that they aren't profiling you as a drug dealer as you count your own money that you have to send to Aunt Frieda for her debilitating disease? How are you sure that they aren't filling out a form while you stand there waiting for the next clerk to send off that money? Well fellow Americans, they ARE filling out their forms for those customers that send large denomination money orders or count a large wad of cash. What is so wrong about it? Well if you take a look at the form it has a statement at the top saying, "Without alerting customers provide as much of the following information as possible." Is this an invasion of privacy? It sure is an invasion of privacy and it should be stopped. It even says, "Without alerting the customer.." How many of these forms have your name on it? Take a look at this form here. Maybe you want to distribute these to those that are standing in line at the post office and ask them, "Has your name been on one of these?"
