When in Rome...
By Lady Liberty

"* Since this column was first written, a reader who happens to live in the area the original crime occurred has written to advise me that police do claim to have announced themselves. While I've still not seen any reports that make the claim, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to someone who lives locally and doubtless has heard far more about this case and in more detail than have most of the rest of us. While I don’t put it past the police to lie - particularly under circumstances like these - I have no sure knowledge that they did and am thus adding the information here."

In my humble opinion, this changes nothing. The Constitutions of both the States and the Union are very clear in this matter: NO search is to be conducted without a warrant; and the warrant must specify VERY CLEARLY both WHAT is to be searched and WHAT is being searched for. If the cop was too ignorant to either read or understand the wording of the warrant (assuming for the moment that one even existed), he assumed the responsibility and liability for his mistake. More to the point, had the circumstances been reversed, and Mr. Maye been executed by the cop, I can all but guarantee that NOTHING would have been done to compensate for that crime, or to punish the criminal. It's well past time that Americans wake up and realize that any cop who is attempting to enforce an unconstitutional (and therefore un-enforceable) law is a criminal; and that ALL people were born with the right to defend themselves, by whatever means necessary, from criminals. MJA

If we want others to honor the "rule of law" and "due process," we must extend the same to everyone - including criminals of all kinds! We can't have one set of rules for those we like and another for those we hate. Liberty and justice belong to everyone - innocent until proven guilty. We must all be willing to give someone the "benefit of the doubt" until a real jury in a real court decides the matter - and be willing to look at new evidence if it is found even after that.

The Second Amendment and the Preamble to the Bill of Rights
By Robert Greenslade

It thoroughly amazes me that the masses-r-asses have no idea what law is and what law restricts. The 2d amendment is a proclamation, a command, to government that it shall not infringe upon the inalienable Right to bear Arms! Why is that so difficult to understand? d daxx

i personaly liked the part with the flag! nicker The Stars and the Stripes is the States' Flag By Robert Greenslade
comments "The federal government gets its powers from the States via the Constitution through a grant of delegated powers." Amen! It, then, behoves the states to enforce the constitution. Since there is no enforcement power within the federal government, or with the people, the states are obligated to enforce the charter for their government. The constitution formed a government between the states, not the people,as outlinied in the preamble of the constitution; moreover this is again declared in Art. IV sec. 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," If the national government was one over the People, it would have made the guarantee to those People; instead, it is made to the States because it is their government. The founders had a clear understanding that the national government would only make those laws the states could not make for themselves; and that the states had retained their plenary jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters.

yeah -well the first sentence of the first amendment applies to all! ''CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW.'' P. B.

The Second Amendment and the Preamble to the Bill of Rights Damn good article and analyses! G. S.

"the people" are "the people"... Wow, what a way to read the Bill of Rights! Sadly, it, and the Constitution, aren't consulted much today.. W. B.

The Second Amendment and the Preamble to the Bill of Rights
By Robert Greenslade

I wish someone would Shove this Down a Lot of Judges and Anti-Gunners Throats! I Love this Thank YOU EVER so Much! Wm. F. G.

Bob, I want to forwazrd this article to the National Constitution Party! how do Im do this? Let me know! R. G.

I'm really sorry that you didn't include an email addreess. If you'll write to me directly, I'll be glad to forward your request to the author. MamaLiberty

Have done an outline on this subject as well. We are being hoodwinked, my friends! Our 'supposed' government is TOTALLY, (as in TOTALITARIAN REGIME), operating OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS of the U.S. Constitution, (Our Sovereign). WAKE UP AMERICA! E. D. Q.

Have you been the Victim of an Unlawful Traffic Court Prosecution?
By Robert Greenslade

Editor; I just found your site through Google. When the courts become an open farce by choosing not to even pretent to truth and fairness, from judges to politicians to attorneys in private practice, the general public experiences and perceives the whole mess as nothing more than a scam. And IT IS A SCAM! The most fundamental rule of protection (supposedly) guaranteed ALL residents of America who are charged with violating ANY government rule of law is the Sixth Amendment. It states: Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

"The Law" is being expanded to the point to where ANY government official will eventually have the "authority" to inspect ALL aspects of your life, and issue "punitive tax slips" to anyone not meeting up to their unpublished standards. In comparison to what's being planned for America's population, the former Soviet citizen never had it so good -- DanD

I'm sorry I was not able to post your entire message, but this is not the place for lengthy quotes from other articles. Thanks so much for your interest - and good luck. MamaLiberty

Blame Congress for the War in Iraq
By Robert Greenslade

Oh my God. Quote a few historical facts, and you're completely right, yea? You still have the balls to write this article even after all has been written/proven? You still stand by the idea that we would never be fighting in Iraq if Bush wasn't pushing for it, or Congress hadn't passed a law? It's "all on Congress" for going to war? Oh Jesus H. Christ. Ok, you're right, Bush had nothing to do with ignoring Middle East experts in advising not to take this approach, and that we would not be greeted as liberators. "Curveball" was a completely viable snitch, and Powell hasn't said he regrets being the one to deliver the address for entry into the unprecendented manner in which this "war" was begun. nitwit press is right. destardi

The Feminist Anti-Kid Crusade
by Carey Roberts

A tiny bit off-topic, but along the lines of the writer's subject matter... I recently received my annual auto insurance renewal in the mail. Contained within was a bulletin informing me that, for $72/year, I could also add Supplemental Spousal Liability Coverage to my policy. Since the explanation of what this coverage actually is was quite unclear, I asked my broker about it. It turns out that this coverage is the ability of a spouse, who becomes injured in an auto accident in which the opposite spouse is driving, to sue their partner for damages. To quote my broker, "Spousal Liability coverage is a new optional coverage that allows spouses to sue each other under the auto policy." (BTW, the state I live in requires insurance companies to provide this 'optional' coverage.) What a society we live in, huh? MJA

Abstinence Vs Sex Education
by Carl Worden

It doesn't matter. It's too late. This country, and the white race, are dead. Len When in Rome... By Lady Liberty
comments A couple questions- 1. How old are you? How often are you in contact with teens today? Wake up! The world is changing. Teens will find ways to be alone no matter how strict you are as a parent. I am in contact with 1300 teenagers 5 days a week. You are obviously not. Welcome to the 21st century! This is not 1967. It has been proven that talking to your children and having an open relationship (about sex included) is the best thing a parent can do. We have to be positive role models and have a mutual respect relationship with teens. "simply don't allow her to" does not cut. If you tell them NO, DON'T HAVE SEX, they will do it anyway. H. G.

If you think raising children to live a moral life is merely a matter of "telling them" anything, I certainly hope you don't have any children. Parents must first model moral behavior consistently, teach and insist on moral behavior from their children from birth, and be completely involved with the lives of their children until they are ready to live on their own. This means KNOWING where the children are, at all times, and never allowing children to play with those of the opposite sex unsupervised. Period.

Yes, they must be open and honest with the kids about everything. Even then, some teens will decide to run away or rebel, and some will take the wrong road no matter what we do, but we can no more give them a blank check for it than we would invite a stranger to take our babies to another country. Unfortunately, most parents today didn't have a moral upbringing and a lot of immoral behavior is considered "normal." Absolute integrity and fidelity have been mostly replaced with revolving door "marriage" and easy lies of convenience. MamaLiberty
