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.

Torture Pro-Choice Politicians?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The rationale for using enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspect detainees is to obtain valuable information that may save lives. But if it's OK to torture to prevent killing by terrorists insurgents abroad, why do we not also allow the torture of politicians who promote killing children unjustly by abortion? Would not a little water-boarding be enough to save many millions of American lives by deterring future acts of homicide?

The objection is that immoral means can never be used to accomplish ends. However, our society is already accustomed to capital punishment. If we execute certain types of criminals, is it always wrong to torture?

Affirmative Action Out the Window

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The controversy over hiring practices by the City of New Haven resolves around one issue, and only one. Do the taxpaying citizens have a right to hire Lieutenant Sharp rather than Lieutenant Dumbo for their police and fire departments?

Most local revenue is generated by property tax and sales tax of local businesses. The people who pay these taxes have an expectation to receive the best service for their buck.

The real losers from Affirmative Action are the taxpaying citizens, the mothers and children who will die in fires that could have been prevented or put down, the victims of gang related shootings and other crimes.

Capitalism is unjust because it is based on the idea that some may reap the rewards of other people's labor by hook or crook. No economic system is perfect. In today's world, the two competing systems are capitalism and socialism. It is the responsibility of citizens and government leaders to make justice happen in America. This we can expect from our courts, but the wheels of justice turn very slowly. Besides, there are other injustices including racial prejudice that must be overcome.

Our courts will go a long way when they start punishing politicians and judges responsible for killing our citizens by abortion, and legally disenfranchising white fathers. While it is true that some fathers want their children aborted and pay for abortions, and that many fathers who lose their children through abortion are non-white, the Supreme Court's rationalization for abortion in the 1973 cases was clearly an attempt to hold back the younger generation of white males, just as the related legal injustice from Affirmative Action during the same time period.
