Government 101 - by Dr. Richard Cawte (c) 2004 Dr. Richard Cawte - Worldwide Rights Reserved Here's some fun for you - although, there is many a true word spoken in jest, as they say! I think it is very important that we teach our children about the true nature of government. Now, at last, there is a way to give your children a basic course right in your own home! In my own experience as a father, I have discovered several simple devices that can illustrate to a child's mind the principles on which the modern state deals with its citizens. You may find them helpful too. For example, I used to play the simple card game WAR with my son. After a while, when he thoroughly understood that ...

BISMARCK, N.D., March 26 (AP) - When Raymon Holmberg bought a new sedan, the dealer did not mention the "black box," a computer chip that stores information on speed and seat belt use. "When I bought my car," Mr. Holmberg said, "I didn't realize I was also buying a highway patrolman to sit in the back seat." Mr. Holmberg, a state senator, believes his privacy was violated and is taking aim at black boxes. Lawmakers in seven other states are also hoping to regulate black boxes, the National Conference of State Legislatures said. Mr. Holmberg is sponsoring a state bill, which is up for Senate consideration after being approved Wednesday by the House, that ...

New city police cars will have cameras March 25, 2005 BY FRAN SPIELMAN AND FRANK MAIN Staff Reporters Six years ago, the Chicago Police Department installed cameras in 10 squad cars to restore public confidence after a pair of police shootings killed two unarmed civilians: Robert Russ and LaTanya Haggerty. It was supposed to be the wave of the future for the entire police fleet. Instead, it turned out to be a 10-camera pilot program that went no further. On Thursday, Fleet Management Commissioner Michael Picardi disclosed plans to install cameras on 125 new squad cars scheduled for delivery over the next two months: front-wheel-drive Chevrolet Impalas that will replace the old ...

Report: TSA Misled Public on Flier Data Sat Mar 26, 8:19 AM ET WASHINGTON - A government investigation has found that the Transportation Security Administration misled the public about its role in obtaining personal information on 12 million airline passengers to test a new computerized, terrorist-screening system. A report released Friday by Richard Skinner, acting inspector general of the Homeland Security Department, said the TSA had misinformed individuals, the media and Congress in 2003 and 2004. It stopped short of saying TSA lied. "TSA officials made inaccurate statements regarding these transfers that undermined public trust in the agency," the report said. ...

Bush is a Dirty Rotten Scoundrel! March 24, 2005 Dear CE Members and Friends, I actually think the title of this column is too tame, but Southern gentility requires at least a smidgen of propriety. All of you are well aware of the immigration problems on our Southern border as the President flagrantly refuses to enforce our federal immigration laws and Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution which states, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” Rather than enforcing the laws as Congress has written them, and therefore as mandated by the U.S. Constitution in ...

LONDON (Reuters) - The United States has committed "grave violations of human rights" against prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq, the Foreign Affairs Committee of Britain's parliament said in a report on Friday. The report also called on the British government to make clear whether it uses intelligence passed on by other countries that may have been gathered by torturing suspects. "We conclude that United States personnel appear to have committed grave violations of human rights of persons held in detention in various facilities in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan," the committee wrote in its influential annual report on human rights.

Bush Signs Bill Providing Two More Years to Declassify Nazi War Crime Papers The Associated Press Published: Mar 25, 2005 CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush on Friday signed a bill giving a government group more time to declassify secrets about former Nazi war criminals hired by the CIA after World War II. The measure gives the Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group until March 2007 to make the documents public. Otherwise, the group's mandate would have expired this month. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the bill's House sponsor, said it had been 10 years since she first proposed legislation seeking information about the U.S. government's ...
Politicians use Schiavo case to push Christian Right’s agenda, A Shameless Spectacle

THE POLITICIANS in Washington stooped to a new low this week as George Bush and the Republicans vied with the Democratic “opposition” in grandstanding over the case of Terri Schiavo. Bush cut short his vacation to rush back to Washington and sign emergency legislation that could pave the way for doctors to reattach a feeding tube to the 41-year-old Schiavo, who has been in what doctors call a “persistent vegetative state” for the past 15 years following a heart attack. On March 18, a Florida judge decided in favor of Schiavo’s husband Michael, who says that his wife had expressed to him her wishes not to be kept alive by artificial means. The Florida court made ...

Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds Law Requiring Infant Blood Testing By Kevin O'hanlon Associated Press Writer Published: Mar 25, 2005 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Supreme Court upheld a state law Friday that requires mandatory blood testing of newborn babies, rejecting an appeal by a couple who said it violates their religious beliefs. Josue and Mary Anaya brought the case after being ordered by a judge in December 2003 to submit their newborn, Rosa, to the metabolic test. The Anayas, who are fundamental Christians, said the test infringed on their rights and could shorten the life of their baby. However, Supreme Court Judge John Wright wrote that the testing law "does not ...

Sobriety Tests Are Becoming Part of the School Day PATRICK O'GILFOIL HEALY EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. - For years, schools across the country have deployed breath analyzers at proms, pep rallies and other after-school events to catch students who arrived drunk or smuggled in alcohol. After some resistance and fevered debate, student advocates and even lawyers gradually came to accept that schools were within their rights to use every means to ensure that students were not toting six-packs and liquor bottles to after-school, night and weekend events. Quietly though, a few districts around the country, from Indiana to Connecticut to Long Island, have begun to integrate breath-testing devices into ...

Stiffer Sentence Sought for White Supremacist

CHICAGO -- Federal prosecutors are seeking a stiffer sentence for a white supremacist convicted of soliciting the murder of a federal judge, whose husband and mother were found dead in her home last month in an unrelated attack. Prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday that Matt Hale faces up to 40 years in prison by statute. The filing said the government will seek to increase Hale's sentence because the murder solicitation "was a crime of terrorism" under federal guidelines. Hale was convicted last April of trying to have U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow killed and obstruction of justice. The judge was not attacked. Prosecutors said Hale was furious after Lefkow ...

Well after 9/11, 'no fly' lists a work in progress The government is working on a new process to screen possible terrorists, but some passengers are still dismayed over name mix-ups. By Alexandra Marks Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor NEW YORK ? Tom Burke recently tried to print out a boarding pass from home before one of the frequent flights he takes. He couldn't. When the San Francisco lawyer got to the airport, he was told the reason: His name, or one similar to it, is now on one of the Transportation Security Administration's terrorist watch lists. "There was a certain irony to it," says Mr. Burke, a First Amendment expert who is suing the federal government ...

Potter and all four city commissioners plan to approve new rules next week that would allow two Portland officers to stick with the Joint Terrorism Task Force and other federal teams if investigators agree to open their files to city leaders.

The traitor and his puppets Time to face the unpleasant truth: President George W. Bush is a traitor to his country. So are the brain-dead puppets(Freeper and Lepers he controls with so much despotic ease. Bush and the Republican Party have sold out the United States, replacing patriotism with political corruption and burying the needs of the nation beneath the swill of political expedience. God these despicable cretins make me want to puke. They are not driven by love of country, morality or even the rule of law. They spit on the Constitution, trample the rights of Americans and turn democracy into a mockery. The latest example of abuse of power and ignorance of law came over the ...

Not because we really care, but rather, to quote former President Bill Clinton, because we can.
Below is undoubtedly our favorite 2004 moment from MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews"--though an honorable mention goes to threatening comments made to Matthews, on-air, by right-wing lunatic Zell Miller, who must have picked up his Democratic affiliation sometime in the 1890s.
What we find so juicy about this incident is not merely the fact that Malkin revealed herself, in the exchange below, to be an intellectual light-weight, but that she then lied about the incident on her blog.
Which just goes to show, not all Republican liars are evil. Some simply have so ...

Why is secession important? The difference between a religion and a cult, it is said, is the degree of difficulty one has in leaving. I believe that the only legitimate associations are those which are voluntary in nature. The ability to enter into and exit from an association is the proof of its legitimacy. I wish to sustain myself and my family. Therefore I enter into a voluntary association with my employer. I will give him my time in exchange for his money. I'm fortunate enough to live in a "right to work" state. Either I, or my employer, may dissolve our association at any time for any or no reason. Our association is mutually beneficial. No one can argue to the contrary. ...

Published: March 23, 2005 WASHINGTON, March 22 - Battle lines were drawn Tuesday in the debate over the government's counterterrorism powers, as an unlikely coalition of liberal civil-rights advocates, conservative libertarians, gun-rights supporters and medical privacy advocates voiced their objections to crucial parts of the law that expanded those powers after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Keeping the law intact "will do great and irreparable harm" to the Constitution by allowing the government to investigate people's reading habits, search their homes without notice and pry into their personal lives, said Bob Barr, a former Republican congressman who is leading the ...

WASHINGTON -- A lively national debate over the USA Patriot Act is about to unfold as supporters and critics of the anti-terrorism law ready arguments to keep or scale back key portions. More than a dozen provisions of the controversial act dealing with law enforcement's enhanced spying powers will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress renews them. Committee hearings in the Senate are slated for April, with the House expected to follow suit. Meanwhile, a bipartisan coalition of conservatives and civil libertarians critical of the law plans an aggressive lobbying effort featuring town hall meetings across the country.

High Court Rules Handcuffing Woman During Police Raid OK The Associated Press Published: Mar 22, 2005 WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that police did not violate a woman's constitutional rights by handcuffing her and inquiring about her immigration status while searching her family's home. Justices unanimously reversed a lower court ruling ordering two Simi Valley, Calif., officers to pay $60,000 to Iris Mena for their actions in a 1998 search. Mena awoke at dawn in her bed to find an officer in a ski mask pointing a submachine gun at her head. SWAT team members led the woman through rain to a cold garage, where she was kept in handcuffs and questioned for up to ...

March 22, 2005 Prelude to the Total State by Nelson Hultberg Capitalism died in 1929 according to the esteemed pundits of our day. Since that fateful year, the prominent intellectuals and politicians of our country have been promoting the welfare state as a "safe, responsible, middle ground" between the opposite poles of capitalism and socialism -- the perfect system to preserve freedom, maintain economic stability, and bring about the good life. Today's chaotic and corrupted America does little, though, to reinforce this notion. What the last seventy years have shown with their epileptic breakdown in socio-economic order, is that the welfare state is not a stable middle ...

A Brief Account of the Rise, Progress, and Present State of the Paper Currency of New-England In January, 1749 Massachusetts passed a controversial currency reform act, designed to call in all their paper money and redeem it with silver, at the rate of one dollar for every 45 shillings in paper money. The British government had reimbursed Massachusetts for expenses incurred in the Cape Breton expedition, and Massachusetts used the reimbursement to finance the currency reform. The law, although passed in 1749, was not to take effect until April 1, 1750. Many in the colony opposed the act, and hoped to reverse the policy before it was carried out. This pamphlet was written in response. It ...
