Senate Flounders on Health Care

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

As America awaits the coming of a newborn infant this Christmas, our representatives in Washington DC are scrambling to get the vote on the Senate version of the health care bill done before the Christmas recess so that a bill will be ready for Obama to sign. Of course the bill will not be perfect. The Senate will again betray the American people, this time by failing to include adequate safeguards to protect the lives of unborn American children by surreptitiously and sinisterly diverting public funds to private insurers and other payees that promote abortion. Some government this is.

Holding the Judiciary Accountable

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Since the infamous Supreme Court decisions of 1973, the major focus of pro-life activity has been to seek the overthrow of these decisions in the courts. Of far more importance, in my estimation, is seeking redress for the killings that have already taken place.

The American people should start by bringing to justice the Florida judge who sentenced Terri Schiavo to death. This would send a clear message that America will no longer tolerate politicians or government officials involved in the killing of innocent persons.

This will require that Americans band together to clear the deck of all corrupt judges at the state and federal levels, and bring an entirely new slate of Congressmen and Senators to Washington.

95% of American wealth is owned and controlled by 5% of the American people, who then tell Congress and the President what to do. We must act together to turn the pyramid on our dollar bill upside down, so that the majority of Americans again have the final say in deciding at the local level what we do as a nation.

This may require constitutional amendments to bring to justice the crooks in Washington including those on the bench. They cannot get off the hook just by saying they were following the law. This principle was decided at Nuremberg after WWII.

While it is important to bring to justice fugitives like Polanski who have harmed innocent people, of far more importance is it to begin the process of rebuilding America by focusing our attention on punishing those in government who are destroying America.

Where the Rubber Hits the Road

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The Values March in Washington DC this weekend marks the beginning of a new era. Ostensibly a disparate group of Americans each having their own issues, in actuality this was the first time in which the premises of Liberalism were seriously challenged. It reminds me of the small breaches that first arose in the flawed St. Francis Dam (pictured above) above the San Fernando Valley before the dam finally broke sending water crashing all the way out to the Pacific Ocean.

Liberals in both major political parties apparently just don't get that their time in government is coming to an end. Just last week, a California Assemblyman who supported family values was forced to resign for talking trash in front of an open microphone in the legislative chamber. This faux pas was a relatively minor infraction of decorum. In contrast, Congressman Joe Wilson is widely acclaimed for shouting out during the President's speech to a joint session of Congress. Both actions were inappropriate, yet the electorate can understand and appreciate the Congressman's frustration at the President's duplicity and obfuscations on health care.

What we are seeing is the beginning of a spiritual revival in which the social conservatives who have always opposed abortion are beginning to persuade the majority of citizens toward their way of thinking, because the alternative just doesn't work. As the majority shifts to oppose abortion, the tide is turning against liberalism. Americans will no longer tolerate egotism in government.

Misplaced Generosity

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The murder of a security guard inside a Washington DC memorial museum is indeed reprehensible. The question arises, should it be the business of our government to be involved in funding and maintaining a museum with taxpayer dollars which highlights the sufferings and depredations of a people?

If we are doing it for the Jews, then why not for the Armenians, Iraqis, Iroquois, or Palestinians, each of whom have suffered great losses at the hands of oppressive regimes? The list goes on and on. Why do we Americans always end up bearing the brunt of historical mishaps? Doesn't this kind of promotion actually encourage hatred and killing of innocent people?

There is something truly grotesque about a nation that feels obligated to showcase past abuses of torture and death, while allowing the indiscriminate killing of millions of its own young.
