It takes everyone liberal and conservative to run the politics of the engine we call America! Patrotic American warriors defend with their life the right of pacifists to hold the wrong opinions. The Blogmaster harbors some populist ideas and believes in free enterprise as opposed to corporate monopoly capitalism. This is a mostly GOP friendly blog. jdm
Quote from the Hill:
The Hill focused on trade associations and nonprofit groups. This week, in part two, we turn to the top lobbyists for individual corporations, as well as hired guns from law firms and public-affairs firms. Again, the list is arrived at through conversations with members of Congress, key aides and other lobbyists. We strive to feature those names that never fail to arise when talk turns to a given issue. We also take into consideration those lobbyists who have enjoyed big legislative wins in the past year or have high-profile legislation before Congress. end quote.
Read the full story on the Hill's lobbyists top list.
Lobbyists exercise power far beyond that allowed by the Constitution. They spread money, prostitutes and insider stock information to members of congress thwarting the will of the voters. It is a testimony to their power that only one inept lobbyist has been exposed to legal charges in recent years.
The Democratic liberals are busy adding to their voting roles by an unconstitutional bill now floating thru the US House. Most of the residents of the District of Columbia are Democrats. Their second big effort at inflating their sure Democrat voters i to lax up the granting of citizenship to those 12-30 Million who have entered our country illegally knowing that those illegals will support the agenda of the New Left Democratic party on liberal causes and candidates because many of them support Liberation theology, Maoist/Marxist thought, and redistribution of land and wealth thru shadowy means.
The third front the Democrats have been involved in is working to deny our military serving overseas the right to vote by absentee ballot. They know full well the military supports conservative principles because it is the liberals who fight against a strong protection for the United States.
There is a constitutional way to give the vote to residents of DC...let us follow it and let the people decide instead of the change agents on the left.
It seems the liberals among us care not for what the Constitution decrees.

Bishop Carlton Pearson of the New Dimensions Worship Center in Tulsa, Okla. "Passage of this bill will help gay, lesbian and transgender people in 33 states.."
But a pastor against the restrictions on freedom of religion said "This bill begins to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, business owners, and anyone else whose actions are based upon, and reflect, the truths found in the Bible,"
More than 200 organizations have attached their support to the legislation, including some of the nation's more prominent lobbying organizations such as the AFL-CIO, American Medial Association and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
According to the most recent FBI statistics, there were 1,171 reported hate crimes targeting homosexuals in 2005, or 14 percent of all hate crimes reported that year.
We have laws in place that protect all of us from attacks whether they be motivated by hate, greed and insanity. These people are pandering for laws that give special privileges to the sexual perverse and stifle freedom of speech and religion.
Liberals are quick to spend your money and restrict your freedoms in the hope of a utopia found only in fiction.

Picture is Future scientist who discovers cure for breast and ovarian cancer?
A major victory for pro-life activists on Wednesday: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the nationwide ban on partial birth abortion. The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion. Justice Anthony Kennedy ruled with conservatives in this case.
Now we must work on giving to the right to be born alive to all babies in the womb. God save our country from the killers who make financial gain from killing the helpless! They are the bottom feeder scum of humanity!
The beauty and calm purity of the unborn is unparalleled in the after birth life. God bless and protect them!
Four of the Supremes loved popularity more than life and voted for death! May God replace them with honorable men or women who are realistic about sanctity of life and the views of the founders in the constitution."
has scores of students and professors on it but two that are not are the police chief and the Tech President who are slow thinking "cover your ass" bureaucrats.
The Chief carries the authority to do whatever it takes protect his citizenship and
and could have shut down the campus on his own authority as the highest ranking sworn officer. The President of VA Tech drug his heels trying to make career saving decisions while a multiple unknown killer roamed his campus. Add to the fact that VA tech praised the failure of a law that would have allowed self protection whether guns or tasers to be carried by students and faculty that would have lessened the loss of life on the campus. VA Tech is a "self protection free zone" and both officials should be terminated.
exerpt from a local paper ... the Monerey Herald..
"hundred yards from the dorm where police were called to the first shooting at 7:15 a.m., an early-morning soccer practice was held as scheduled.
In the engineering building across campus, where students tried to repel the second shooting - and, afterward, in school buildings nearby - classes continued uninterrupted until nearly 10:30 a.m.
"It took them three hours to shut this down when it should have been done immediately," said Charlie Campbell, a Virginia Tech sophomore."
Monterey Herald story
We all know the self defence hating left will be blaming the horrible calamity today on availability of guns when the large loss of life would be far less if students had been able to defend themselves.
Scattered among the human population are those who harbor hidden killer desires. In a free country where we are considered innocent until proven guilty it is impossible to ferret out those who will turn killers.
If students with the ability to protect themselves had been even sparsely scattered around campus at VA Tech the loss of life would be much less.
If criminals have guns the citizenry must be armed!
For the Fred Thompson for President fan here is a link to the Weekly Standard interview.
BTW...Fred Dalton Thompson won all the polls at the Oklahoma GOP convention on Saturday. He leads all the polls on Oklahoma blogs that I know of including the one here.
Fred Thompson interview in Weekly Standard
The time is now!
How can you set there with that smug look on your face ...
eternity comes fast and you don't know your place ...
Fate is standing in the dark shadows playing to your pride ...
and here you are unconcerned like time was on your side ...
The day will come when your ladder of life has no more rungs ...
and all your choices will expire with the breath in your lungs. ..
The nearest Bible can help you make your choice of eternal habitation ...
for you can find Christ Jesus in every book from Genesis to Revelation. ..

Poem of my youth...composed on October 23, 2006
Tracks of a friend in the snow
I have lain on the path of bone chilling fear ...
watched as the death angel hovered near ...
Midnight I rode the trail where black lion stalked ...
my steed snorting his course stayed.. balked ...
I lost my seat and the moon swirled around ...
my head was the first to kiss frozen ground ...
My body bounced down the Arbuckles crag ...
the earth drank my blood and there I laid ...
and dreamed the dream of death’s opening door ...
of life unlived and path’s untracked with joy untasted ...
my future my claim on living gone as I lay wasted ...
but awareness came as light chased away the night ...
My companion grazed close by had kept the cat away ...
snow tracks around my death bed testified to his stay ...
my shirt red soaked with life’s precious fluid staining the ground ...
I drug my pain racked body to the saddle and started down ...
past the still waiting mountain lion eyes peering from thick weeds ...
the smell of my blood kept him waiting to quench his savage needs ...
I looked back as he smelled my blood spilled in the snow where I lay ...
then followed us for awhile before turning to find unguarded prey ...
Danpatch went to equine heaven during the next season’s winter strife ...
But in my dreams I still count the tracks of my friend who saved my life.

jdm10/23/2006 based on a true occurrence with some literary license applied...My dad was a cowboy and Danpatch had been his favorite horse until he was retired to be my horse. At the time of the poem Danpatch was over twenty years old and I was 12.
Don't Tread on My Flag
We must be very concerned about who we elect as President and Commander in Chief...They must be willing to affirm the Christian roots of this country and the heritage of free enterprise and religious freedom. The must disavow any connection to any other world opinion than one that puts American interests first! They must pledge to never be the instrument of American submission to any authority that subverts the High Law of the Constitution of the United States.At the very least as a potential Commander In Chief of United States Armed Forces they must be able pass and receive a personal Top Secret Clearance background check that we demand of our defenders.God Bless the USA Keep us Free!
