Comment to: O'REILLY: U.S. fulfills obligations of a noble country

The opposition to military action in Libya is fascinating. President Barack Obama is taking incoming fire from the left and the right as various agendas collide against neutralizing Moammar Gadhafi.

The dissent is all over the place, so let's try to simplify the situation.

We begin with a quote from Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

That's true. We have seen it time and again throughout history. When evil is not confronted, it can win, often with devastating results.

There is no question that Gadhafi was on the verge of slaughtering his opposition.

His mercenaries and highly paid military were closing in on rebel strongholds, and amnesty would not be forthcoming, as the colonel himself publicly proclaimed.

Finally, the U.N. acted, and a no-fly zone was approved. After waffling for weeks, Obama swung into action, ordering U.S. planes and missiles into the skies.

Then he went to Brazil.

Immediately, the far left erupted. Ralph Nader is calling for impeachment. Michael Moore has suggested that Obama give back the Nobel Peace Prize.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants to cut off funding for any military action against Libya.

On the right, Pat Buchanan banged the isolationist drum: "Why is the United States, all the way across the ocean, got to go in and stop Arabs from killing Arabs? ... Why are we in there?"

To prevent a massacre? I believe that's the reason, Mr. Buchanan.

Congressman Ron Paul was equally blunt: "What are we doing? We are in this crisis, and they decide to spend all this money. It makes no sense at all."

Here's my question for Paul: Would you be comfortable, Congressman, watching thousands of human beings being slaughtered by a terrorist dictator when you know that your country had the power to prevent it?

In fact, the no-fly zone was up and running in hours, and Gadhafi's forces have been seriously damaged.

Now the rebels have a chance to eventually overthrow the dictator, and mass murder has been avoided at least for the time being.

This is not a complicated issue. If America is indeed a noble country, it should act to save lives when it can. That doesn't mean getting bogged down in quagmires such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam.

But when quick, decisive action can defeat evil, it should be taken.

I believe in the basic nobility of America. I also believe few other nations have the motivation and power to confront evil that this country does. If it's all about us, if all we think about is our own sacrifice, then American exceptionalism disappears.

We did the right thing in Libya.

Mr. O'Reilly, Edmund Burke also lived in a time when obedience to God and virtue were part of daily lives to many more Americans, than today.  "The only thing necessary for the triumph over evil is for good men to do nothing."; has a much broader application of meaning to this Nation and its activity internationally against "evil" - especially as defined by this Administration.

No where in your commentary do you address the nature of the "rebels" against Gadhafi. They are supported by Iran. Which is part Global Socialization.

While Gadhafi is evil, he is at least as consistent in his wrongness as is Castro in Cuba.  To allow Gadhafi to be replaced by the much more sinister evil to the citizens of Libya: 'group-think Socialism' isn't doing any person in Libya a 'favor of our obligations'.   ---- Especially since they have the same problem with withheld, distorted information intended to mislead who or what the opposition "rebels" represent.

Your commentary reflects the very same withheld, distorted, misleading information served-up to Americans.

As for the second guessers for why war in any part of the Middle East, they shall never understand "..and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them... that equal rights come from God - The Creator -  not from man of any sort - and not limited to just one Nation; but to God's Creation The Sovereign Individual residing on the Planet named "earth'.

Budget comment re taxes, unions, possibilities with single-mined blind,deaf, stiff-necked group-think...

Brown's Countdown, Day 66: Field Poll: Jerry Brown has voter support for extending taxes, but opportunity may not last - Sacramento Politics - California Politics | Sacramento Bee

Comment to above:

Brown wants his tax increases. The unions want the tax increases. 68% of voters - both parties are against tax increases. The cost of union salaries, bosses, supervisors, administration with the "hired" union attorneys....continue to grow via each, individual member dues. Member dues deducted even during a strike! Unions are paid by taxpayers. They are not elected; do not have accountability to Legislative branch of government at any level; and on a regular basis fail to perform their duties as regulators for Departments and Bureaus - again at all levels of government - simply because they are not accountable! Union members are taxpayers. Union members support the election of union-represented-governors, senators, assembly-members, representatives, Senators, and Presidents. Union members have little or no say in the decisions made by their leaders whatever level; and coercion in job availability may be rampant or best, the member is simply ignored as a hoy-paloy-non-distinct-two-legged-worker (forget the sometimes attached word, 'bee' - that would be too much of a compliment).

So when the Republicans say 'NO' it is recorded as against the State. The state has no money; is spending what it doesn't have in dollars in every area of health and welfare, education, public works, environment regulation, energy; it has no 10th Amendment right to be indulging its non-entity-irresponsible-selfish need for power and control. Because it is a non-entity, without control; bad concepts of demand, usurpation, power, and control take over; government remains a 'Absent Brain' incapable of performing with integrity, duty and service. The requirements of 'good governance' that our founders wrote in Both The Declaration and The Constitution --- including California's Constitution.

Only returning and shrinking "government" to allow service, duty, integrity with respect to the abilities of individuals as designed by Both founding documents, will save US(A) from the unsustainable nature of irresponsible $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, Acts,Amendments,Laws,Regulations,EO,Commisiions and all tools of non-brain-entity-control.    Both these Documents for 'governance stewardship and integrity' are what protect US(A) as sovereign individuals - states - and nation. Until, "letting go" of Sen. DeMint or "closing down" of this American Patriot of ALL areas of government which do not meet the standards of individual sovereign person first....before money, candidate, integrity or even God's word, take place; ---- Our Nation, the Only Nation of Working to Allow -- God's Gift to Person -- will continue to fonder in the windless sea of lawless neglect to Duty, Honor, Country! --- All Citizens from 8 years old and those at the end of their life's journey(but still vote, listen and decide)--- realize you lose all dreams and all inventiveness with the non-entity of government control-demand-usurpation now acting and in charge! The Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity ---- also end, now 2011-12, NOW!

Regarding Tyrannosaurus Rex Federal government, balanced budget, fair tax...

When any government has grown to 1300 Departments and Agencies, with the only employment growth at extortion charges to the Taxpayers via Union Admin., Bosses and hired attorneys with only one agenda...more money and power for the self-grandizement for 'Its' admin. bosses and attorney's..! Membership is simply "The end justify's the means - ethics with thanks to Saul Alinsky and his Lucifer mentor for usury of 'Its' member!

Some members are also desiring a "Fair Tax".

The Federal Level of government will not get smaller ignoring unions, adding a balanced budget amendment, or utilizing a fair tax; because not one of these actions will change the self-indulgent, gigantic mouthed, tyrannosaurus rex of this government!  None will make this tyrannosaurus rex of a government perform with integrity and respect to its Citizens, inconveniently called "We the People in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice...and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY, do ORDAIN and establish this Constitution FOR the..."!  Integrity of limits - the only answer...and It must Begin, Now!

Every elected Agent of We the People, should be devoting themselves to [this Citizen] "close down" Senator DeMint -the kinder, civil "Let Go" of this monster which Shall Destroy each sovereign individual, State, and Nation!

This Citizen has picked two Departments both not included in "enumerated powers": Education and Health and Human Services [that's where 6% of GNP is located - remember!?]. Both of these would be a good start toward reviewing the founder's 'enumerated powers' with the eye of the not-mentioned, important method, of not allowing tyrannosaurs rex to happen in the first place!

Education because "83% of USA schools will fail the Federal Standard for education(newspaper 3/7/11)"[so what!]. Did you see Greta van Sustern's interview of the HS Student early in the Wisconsin debacle against taxpayers? 100% Socialist line of verbiage, completely innocent and ignorant, and 100% Good American young man..and doesn't even know it! Has no idea the difference between "a democracy in a Republic" let alone the concept of sovereignty of person, state, and nation! Such an education!  There is an organization here in CA which is working to get government out of education at both State and Federal level. Charter and home-schooling are looked upon as a 'savior' of Learning for our young, and is effective against government-based education. So much so that CA State is looking to reduce its funding because the grads leave public school behind at every level! But indoctrination via union-dominated, closed shop teachers[so to speak], is the watch-word and ignorance is the dominant present goal of education.  State and Federal emphasize punishment for lack of success; but "Learning" is the personal essence of sovereignty; and not measurable by any method of group-think mindedness.

Health and Human Services: Someone said to this Citizen the other day: "What would we do about medicine if the Federal Government wasn't involved?".  Guess what?  As a RN, BSN, PHN in all fields of medical care new born to elderly with 38 years of work; we do just fine with JACO, JCAHO, and the inherent standards of practice each and ever sector of medicine utilizes. Further, risk/reward management is more throughly directed toward problem solving the integrity of a problem or issue than any program at any state or federal level.  Again, because We the People are best served as individuals, especially when ill... It is fraudulent for government to think it can group-think or use statistics to solve all aspects of human illness. But "IT" does!

"Patient Protection and Affordable Act" is the most lawless Act Passed in the history of the United States of America...Bar None! The minute the words spoken said "We have to pass it to see what it says." this Act achieved its status of the most illegal Act in our history...and it Shall and is doing, our Nation great harm...and IT shall not deliver Health care in any way...  We Must Take the loss; and move away from the 'sick' government which could make and take action on such a statement!

Granted, this is earth-shaking for Congress as well as Executive; but you, Senator Paul and all Senators regardless of Party membership, are the protector of "We the People".  Health and Human services, from the Founders [not this Citizen] would be better served at each, sovereign State's level with the citizens of the State deciding the 5w's and H of service...at a much better rate, than 57 cent dollar divided among 50 states with the special interests involved, and with politics as usual much more important than the service and duty to our Nation!

Please reconsider the emphasis and change the goal to "closing down" or "letting go" of 1300 Agencies and Departments.

I am a Campaign for Liberty Member.

Thank you, Catherine West  San Marcos, CA

FW: Fact Sheet: Government Unions 101

Unions are the undertow of the riptide against the sovereign individual, state, and nation versus the continuing Socialist takeover via group-think of Social justice via other people's security of person, home, property, and effects - unreasonable search (loans from China and fines, fees, costs anywhere and on anything (debit cards in all directions) that this Administration can find) and seizure (certainly - the futures of life and the pursuit of Happiness & therefore Liberty, of the next generation plus 2 generations - not yet thought of....). 

This document adds weight to the clear and present danger the administration of the nation is leading all of US(A) toward...

This is not an empty - opinion; it is well demonstrated fact. And while this Administration is not responsible, 100% for the 'justice by men'; it is the culmination of the efforts funded by George Soros, enstigated by Saul Alinsky with his mentor Lucifer; perpetuated by Cloward-Piven to the world effort plain to see; and even hear - via Greta van Sustern, doing her job of interview -- without inserting herself into the interview -- of the young man who is a Madison Hight School senior -- a good, all-American style Lad -- spouting 100% Socialism; because he has not been, and will not be taught the "Religion and virtue - First Table of Law" Both The Declaration and Constitution represent.

Question:  How long,  Americans!?  

Not necessarily Ron's Question....  definitely this American's question!

Subject: Fact Sheet: Government Unions 101

MEMORANDUM To: Catherine West From: Ron Nehring, Chairman Date: March 1, 2011 Re: GOVERNMENT UNIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FACT SHEET With the issue of government unions in the spotlight, I wanted to share with you this excellent fact sheet just published by our friends at the Heritage Foundation. Sincerely, Ron Nehring CHAIRMAN, California Republican Party _____________________________________    Government Unions 101: What Public-Sector Unions Won't Tell You  Published on February 28, 2011 Factsheet #79 What Is Government Collective Bargaining? Legal Monopoly: Government collective bargaining gives unions a monopoly on the government's workforce. The government must employ workers on the terms the union negotiates. It may not hire competing workers. Private vs. Public-Sector: Unions operate differently in government than in the private sector. Private-sector unions bargain over limited profits. Competition from other businesses moderates wage demands. Governments earn no profits and have no competition. Government unions negotiate for more tax dollars. Risking Public Services: When government unions strike, they can deprive citizens of essential services-such as education for children-until demands are met. History of Government Collective Bargaining Unions Once Rejected: Early labor leaders didn't believe unions belonged in government. In 1955, George Meany, then-president of the AFL-CIO, said: "It is impossible to bargain collectively with the government." In 1959 the AFL-CIO Executive Council declared, "In terms of accepted collective bargaining procedures, government workers have no right beyond the authority to petition Congress-a right available to every citizen." FDR: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D) gave unions extensive powers to bargain collectively in the private sector but excluded them from government. FDR believed collective bargaining had no place in public service and that a government strike was "unthinkable and intolerable." A Change of Heart: Union membership peaked in the private sector in the 1950s. Unions came to see government employees as valuable new dues-paying members. Some states, like VA and NC, still do not negotiate public spending with government unions. 52% of union members in the U.S. now work for a government.   The Consequences of Government Collective Bargaining Leverage over Government: Granting unions a monopoly over work done in government gives unions enormous leverage over budgets and taxes. Unions use this power to raise taxes and get more of the budget spent on them. Inflated Government Pay: Government unions win above-market compensation for their members. The average government employee enjoys better health benefits, better pensions, better job security, and an earlier retirement than the average private-sector worker, although cash wages are typically not inflated at the state or local level. Forced Union Dues: In the 28 non-right-to-work states, unions negotiate provisions that force government employees to pay union dues or get fired. This brings government unions billions of dollars. Politicized Civil Service. Government unions have the power to elect the management they negotiate with, so they spend heavily to elect politicians who promise them concessions. Government unions were the top political spenders, outside the two major parties, in the 2010 election cycle. What about Wisconsin? In Wisconsin: Governor Scott Walker (R) is reforming collective bargaining. His proposal restores voter control over most spending decisions but does not completely eliminate collective bargaining. Reforms: Walker's proposal restricts government unions to negotiating over wages only, and not benefits or work rules (such as job guarantees for failing teachers). Voters would have to approve any wage increase beyond inflation. Unions would have to demonstrate that they have the support of a majority of members through an annual secret ballot. Wisconsin would stop subsidizing union fundraising by collecting union dues through its payroll system, and would no longer fire workers who choose not to pay union dues. Is This Union Busting? A union is only "busted" if its members are forced to quit the union. Giving employees the choice to pay or not pay expensive dues is hardly union busting. Under Walker's plan, Wisconsin unions would still have considerably more negotiating power than even federal employee unions.

The Administratvie, Legislative, and for other reasons: Judicial Just Don't...

Get It!  "We the People - elected and non-elected, administrated against via Union Administration": 

 Talk about disbelief of the Attack on Both Founding Documents;  try on all levels of government, continuing to perform services and actions which are none of their business; spending the money of Americans - without accountability of thoughtful service; because the "IT" of government or President Reagan's "The most feared sentence in the English (or anywhere else on the globe): "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Oh, my god..."We the People" tell "IT" called government Federal Level to quit the Executive Cabinet leaders and czars from the 'Centralized Non-Legislative review, antilaw of "We the People"  Regulations and "properly adopted rules" defined by the few, biased for Social-Justice of this particular "We have to pass it to see what it says" Administration. 


With 1300 Departments and Agencies at the Federal Level (didn't count the cost of 27 Commissions) and State; plus the State Level Departments, commissions, agencies; plus the County and city levels of government....just  closing Education and medical care at the Federal level would take away a lot of debt; same two at the State Level.  Our 'elected We the People', now have the duty to close down Federal Level-by  returning to the concepts of limited power to maintain a border.


It is imperative, that 'This Congress' as agents of We the People, to regard Union contracts, throughout the Federal and State Levels, as the Unconstitutional documents each contract represents:  Article IV:2, 4; Article VI:2; Amendments VIII [but that requires the use of the 1828 Dictionary looking at the word 'fine(s)*; IX,  X,  XIV [The Favorite Amendment of the 'group-think, Obama Socialist Administration with 'its' judges - to ignore and denigrate] Sections 1 no law abridging privileges and immunities and equal protection.  


The most egregious need to move out of Federal Government with huge savings -- except for the cost to HOUSE and SENATE AGENTS  of the taxpaying citizens: 

FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION: With its "neutral communications medium (from whatever non-human nature universe that 'neutral' part resides in).....adopting rules to preserve basic internet values...with only the FCC having the ability to define their idea of a problem: "preserve internet freedom and openness"..."past pursued unbiased enforcement of Open Internet principles, we have not had properly adopted rules. ...(Julius Genachowski in "Preserving the Open Internet, GN Docket No. 09-191, Broadband Industry Practices, WC Docket No. 07-52).

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - ideally return to local level; but OUT of Federal Level: with its most recent adoption of the 31 areas of centralization of education programs public and private; including "codifying"access to IRS computer programs "to allow an applicant to import income and other data", "Program Integrity Issues: Final Rule; 34 CFR Parts 600- 603, et.al."; But Primarily the Department as an insult to "We the People" responsibility as well as unalienable Right to Life --- ; and of course to address the ignorance and disdain for Article I:8, Article IV:2, 4; Amendment IX and X. 

The PARTS of Health and Human Services named: 1) Medicare-Medicaid - because of the same part of the Declaration just stated; Article I:8, Amendments IX and X. More importantly todays paper: The President of the United States of America says to the 50 sovereign States: "If your state can create a plan that covers as many people as affordably and comprehensively as the Affordable Care Act*  does - without increasing the deficit - you can impliemant that plan. And we'll work with you to do it. (Obama Shows Flexibility on Law; Margaret Talvev, McClatchy Newspapers; pg.A3 NC Times).  

EVERYONE: These 2 sentences in today's newspaper, from our President say the entire difference Between:  Social Justice Law by and for men, -Socialism, -with the coveting of ignorance, assumed about 'We the People'; and Demonstrated by the group-thinking-arrogant/dominating leadership, by irresponsible using of other people's not only money, but also sovereign rights..as person, state;  Versus,  "Religion and Morality as the first Table of Law" or Law from God, Jesus His Son, The Bible, and Common Law of BOTH Founding Documents.  Further because: "The Constitution if Law. The Declaration is Not Law. (from an attorney)", the Principles expressed in the Declaration which derive from God, the Lessons of Jesus, The Bible which is the Basis of Common Law (expressed in Amendment VII), the concept of 'individual sovereignty' all the Documents address, is not allowable for the purposes of law. Law written by justice based on "The Laws of "..assume among the powers of the earth", ".. Nature and Nature's God", ".. Unalienable", ".. Creator.." or the reason BOTH DOCUMENTS ARE INTERTWINED INTO The LAWS OF MANKIND. 


Move and distribute 100% of Medicare and Medicaid back to the closest location of 'We the People' to result in the Most affective (this is directly from the founders as part of the reason for enumerated powers) application of: "Patient Care dictates patient service" from the old Health and Human Services Manuel.  Medicare and Medicaid (Cal) returned to the States where a dollar will purchase, in the "unable to pay We the People" who paid --- during working years---for the kind of care they need; with the needed care provided at a price which is realistic to the cost of the provision; and closer to 'We the People" of a bottom-up government, or to the citizens of the State - to decide the best method of purchasing the product named: medical care to those in need; but  Not:  medical depends on the statistical number divided by the number of states, the 10 regions & territories, and the number of people who qualify for whatever the diag. or group of dx. with concomitant treatments standard, or otherwise are determined...but not too much otherwise, because that doesn't fit 'group-think'. 'Social Justice' written by men who describe, define, arrange, distort, ignore the information required to make a decision --- which should never be made by a sovereign individual as a member of a community, sovereign state or sovereign nation and who is the most affected not only in cost, but also in service the Fed. thinks it can perform!

2) MEDICAL INFORMATION FOR DIAGNOSIS and TREATMENT because of gross duplication of thousands of private profit and not-for-profit organizations work without taxpayer money and with the independence of closer to the individuals most affected who require that support.  


Below is the list of "Operating Divisions"** with "Staff Divisions"**. You can read for yourselves the amount of duplication.  Also, please realize that anyone can visit all 1300 Department, Agency; 27 Commissions to have a self-made demonstration of the monster our Federal Government has become, made worse by the group-think, law by social justice, pharisee of rule and order determined, defined ....
The add to above, the number of Union Member individuals, supporting their Administrators in a dictating format of leadership...we'll tell how specifically what your vote shall contain...any words outside of this kind of dictate shall not be tolerated and could result in you(employee) losing your position in whatever your're doing in government!

It is imperative, that this Congress begin the work of examining, WITH 'We the People' via mechanisms already in place - called Act Now and via the Congressional Republican Party sites and via direct correspondence between Senator and Representative with their districts and States: exactly how much of 'enumerated powers' should remain  v. the debt with how many Must Go away because the worst thought for We the People is: some non-entity with two legs in Wash. DC, paying dues to an Union Administrator who supports a view of government known to be disastrous; could actually know more than We the People who provide the entity of their funding...not in perpetuity.  

When there is more debt than assets; you not only STOP SPENDING, you look at what you own, with an eye to selling or removing the cost from the 'table called financial responsibility' to one person or to a nation.....no difference. And you don't slow, prevent, via railroading useless regulations and paperwork; the best assets of "do ordain and establish this Constitution 'for' the United States of America. Deep water drilling of Petroleum [it's the better word because it utilizes ALL uses of this gift from dinosaur's very large protein, carbohydrate, fat filled bodies], nuclear, natural gas which doesn't even include gold, silver, platinum and other valuable minerals.  Stop subsidies of energy that require development; because if good enough, like oil; subsidy isn't necessary and a burden on "working and Posterity, We the People". 

One deep water oil drilling permit in Nine Months with six still in the bins of "denial of American Assets via this Obama Administration with its cohorts of Soros, Alinsky, Piven, World socialism with UN as corrupt as the nations it attacks, because confusion with ignorance is the "delight of Satan" - the patron saint of darkness, harm and misery to each individual who falls under its spell.

Also, we can't give away money as Grants, because there is no free money; and because since its taxpayer's money you are using...doesn't it make much more sense to leave the dollars in their hands in the first place.  Think of all you save just in personnel of several parts of Treasury with IRS with distributing depts. for the locations of the grants, and don't forget someone should monitor the grants!  Since no-one can really tell if the dollar used for whatever is a China-loan dollar or a taxpayer dollar, then every time $1.00 of grant money goes out; it has the potential of being 'bright-red ink' known as principle and interest as 100% of that given-away dollar!

'Government has no person'; and therefore no brains to even think of functioning in terms of duty, honor, OR to EXERCISE  the responsibility of virtue expressed as Principle in the Declaration with Law in the Constitution - only mankind is capable. Then, only in the ability to Only the honor and integrity of "elected, appointed, employees of We the People" doing each individual's job; so doing the right thing when no-one is looking -- is to follow The Supreme Law of God, of God with Jesus in the Declaration, and in the Supreme Law of the Land.   

*(that's the newest verbiage for this atrocious attack on taxpayers as earners and as payers of interest and principle on Loans our nation: It's real name, commonly forgotten by intent of its writers: "The Patient Protection and Affordable Act")
