Don't mind me. I'm just quilting together a few lines.
Some of these are from previous postings, while some are from Personals.
Freedom of speech and expression is something that we usually take for
granted in the US. We as Americans have to accept these concepts as
Universal and Irrevocable. If we cannot do so, if we would repress free
speech and expression, then perhaps we cannot call ourselves true Americans.
If I were Imperial Wizard of the KKK, I for damned sure wouldn't be
working for a living, particularly not at DEC.
I have no sympathies with people who blow up churches or advocate the
torching of synagogues. Just because I don't happen to socialize with
certain groups doesn't mean I advocate doing them in.
Any person who would firebomb a library, assault its officials and bomb
their houses, just because they don't happen to agree with what the group
says, has no claim to being a true American.
The murder of innocent civilians is never justified. Terrorism is
never justified. Hitler was not justified.

Exactly!!! And who are the most apathetic people in the world??
>The world stood by
>while Hitler did what was necessary for him eventually play center stage to
>an unwilling and ultimately captive audience.
People forget that Hitler was aided and abetted by Uncle Joe Stalin.
Without the help of the Soviet Union, it would have been difficult for Hitler
to rearm Germany to the extent that he did. Not to mention that the
international corporations openly supported Hitler in his war efforts.

I fail to see the comparison. Did I call for Il Duce? I don't seem to
find any mention of anything resembling a Fourth Reich in my postings.
If there is any strong leadership to be had in this country, it is not
to be found in Washington right now. All I see is a herd of geldings. The
strength of this nation is in its people.
By the way, the trains used to run on time here, too, until Uncle Sugar
started running the railroads.
It is unfortunate that various appointed bureaucrats consider themselves
to be above the law. But it is the fault of the American People for allowing
them to do so. For over three decades, we have tolerated bureaucracies that
derive their power from an obscure federal "law" that authorizes various
agencies to rule by fiat, simply by promulgating regulations and then publishing
such regulations in the Federal Register. (Now that I think of it, Hitler
did something similar.) (And the exact same thing is going on in South Africa.)
The whole key to solving the problem is to remove the authorization for
these agencies to make regulations without legislative review. If this puts
an undue burden on our poor overworked, underpaid Congress, the answer is
simple. We remove the authority for controlling bureaucratic functions from
the Federal Government, and place it on the States, where most of it belongs
anyway. Only certain functions, such as the overseeing of interstate
commerce, the issuance of currency, certain foreign affairs, and a central
military cadre, would be retained at the federal level. Most others, such
as taxation, intrastate commerce, local environmental protection, labor
laws, educational responsibilities, and a self-armed ready militia, would
be controlled at the local level.
I personally do not consider the national sovereignty of the United
States as something petty. It's strange how an awful lot of people agree
with me about it.
I don't advocate anything other than a return to the Constitutional
Republic that our Founding Fathers gave us. We need one or two more
safeguards that we've learned about through experience, such as the
explicit prohibition against any branch of government delegating its
duties to bureaucrats. And we need some more explicit words about
maintaining the sovereignty of the Nation in the face of foreign
treaties. But other than that, why mess with a good thing?
Our Founding Fathers gave us that path, in the Declaration of Independence,
the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, the U.S. Codes, the Federalist
Papers, etc. The American People have allowed the government to stray off that
path onto one that will lead us to oblivion. If we are to retain our freedom
and independence, we must return to the original path, we must restore our
Constitutional Republic. And we as a People must renounce Internationalism.
Once this is done, the threat of Communism will dry up.
Lest we forget---The organization known as the "Government of the United
States" is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, not a democracy. It is generally assumed
to be comprised of three branches,ie., the Legislative, the Executive, and the
Judiciary. These three are overseen by the fourth and supreme branch, the
PEOPLE.
If the People fail to ride herd on the Constitutional Government, the
People very quickly lose the very freedom that we cherish. We are given the
responsibility by our Creator to be vigilant, as outlined in the very first
Federal Law, the Declaration of Independence. The authority to exercise
our power is in the Ninth, Tenth, and Second Amendment to the Constitution
of 1787. Effectively, if "The Government" becomes abusive of the rights of
the citizens, we the people have the right to remove "The Government" by
whatever means necessary.

Can somebody please tell me when and where The Little Corporal ever
stood up and advocated civil rights and the return of the Constitution?
I personally believe all you Nazi-busters out there ("I ain't afraid
of no Nazis!") are bigger Nazis than Hitler ever was.
