Illegals, Unions, TINA and National Sovereignty
2008-05-30 11:19:00 Excellent commenter Uncle Milton notes presciently about illegal immigration. Comments at the end:Uncle Milton: Unions didn't gain any real power in this country until the immigration doors were slammed shut in the 1920s. In the modern era (the last three decades) you don't have to look very far to see how cheap Latino labor has suppressed the wages of meat packers, janitors, construction workers, etc.When critiquing illegal immigration, I find it much more productive (and appealing or at least tolerated) by a wider audience when you bring up what it has done to wages and how employers have profited.Now with the globalization of computer technology many things can be done overseas: accounting, programming, tech support, architecture. In theory, this is done for lower costs, but I know multiple cases were companies brought labor back to the US.We hear all the time about how the US isn't producing enough engineers. What you don't hear as much is that the average engineer only st...

Sovereignty Is The Highest Degree Of Political Power
2008-05-12 03:03:00 "Sovereignty is the highest degree of political power, and the establishment of a form of government, the highest proof which can be given of its existence. The states could have not reserved any rights by articles of their union, if they had not been sovereign, because they could have no rights, unless they flowed from that source. In the creation of the federal government, the states exercised the highest act of sovereignty, and they may, if they please, repeat the proof of their sovereignty, by its annihilation. But the union possesses no innate sovereignty, like the states; it was not self-constituted; it is conventional, and of course subordinate to the sovereignties by which it was formed." -John Taylor of Caroline.~The attempt to unify the Executive and Judicial powers by this Administration as others also have in the past, and to basically nullify the powers of Congress, will ultimately subject the People to no permanent security in their Rights, their Liberty, or their Free...
Obama on Native Tribal Sovereignty, the Freedmen, & NAHASDA
2008-05-03 03:10:00 Obama vs. CBC on the passage of NAHASDA "as is"In a March 13, 2008 Letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, members of the Congressional Black Caucus stated that ?members of the CBC will not support, and will actively oppose passage of NAHASDA? unless the bill contains a ?provision that would prevent the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma from receiving any benefits or funding? until they extended tribal membership to the Freedmen. The letter contained the signatures of 35 CBC members, but not the signature of White House hopeful Senator Barack Obama. The Native American community began raising questions about an Obama Presidency that could potentially support CBC efforts to undermine the rights of tribal governments to determine their own membership.Asked to clearly state his position on H.R. 2824, Obama?s campaign issued the following statement:"Tribal sovereignty must mean that the place to resolve inter-tribal disputes is the tribe itself. Our nation has learned with tragic results...

Standing Up for National Sovereignty, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-04-21 07:00:00 As we all know, there have been significant moves recently to expand the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) initiated by President Bush and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts in 2005. One such plan is to construct a so-called ?NAFTA Superhighway? running from Mexico , through Texas , and up eventually into Canada . I have opposed this project from the beginning, signing on as a co-sponsor of House Concurrent Resolution 40 expressing Congressional disapproval of the NAFTA Superhighway and any moves toward a North American Union. read more

Suffering and the Sovereignty of God
2008-03-26 04:43:00 The sovereignty of God is the one impregnable rock to which the suffering human heart must cling. The circumstances surrounding our lives are no accident: they may be the work of evil, but that evil is held firmly within the mighty hand of our sovereign God....All evil is subject to Him, and evil cannot touch His children unless He permits it. God is the Lord of human history and of the personal history of every member of His redeemed family.--Margaret Clarkson, Grace Grows Best in Winter (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1984), pages 40-41

Disintegration Of American Sovereignty: Mexican Military Incursions
2008-01-27 16:01:00 It doesn't seem to register more than an occasional blip on the radar of most media outlets. Whether it be the inner workings of the proposed North American Union (NAU), the repeated attempts to bind America under the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), or the cultural disintegration we as Americans are facing daily. What's more, there has been almost nil coverage of the "Armed Incursions" my Mexican military personnel onto American soil. With exception to what info is able to be gathered and disseminated by Conservative talk show hosts or blogs, Americans are being kept in the dark by our own media about this.Bobby Eberle on the GOPUSA site has a bit to say about these incursions in his article "Danger at the Borders." And to add to it, he even has a Fiscal Year 2007 table listing the MANY times that it has happened. Amazingly, there actually are a couple that were apparently unintentional, but compared to the many that were deliberate, those few are moot. Eberle's article also contai...

Europe and the Lisbon Treaty I
2007-12-29 02:13:00 I tend to forever approach issues surrounding the European Union by asking the same question: when will a movement, individuals, or even academics emerge who will muster up the fortitude to suggest that Ireland must leave the EU?Even in the run-up to the forthcoming referendum on the Lisbon Treaty (which we're all supposed to be thankful for, I understand), I hear the same pious platitudes by so-called Eurosceptics."We're not anti-Europe. We believe in a united Europe of free markets, peace, love and tolerance," et al, ad nauseum, until they finally get to the qualifying remark: "We just want more accountability".Apart from a handful of Green Party nonconformists who have now been turned on by the coalition cronies, Justin Barrett remains the only politico in recent years to have taken the Union head on. And even he, now seemingly inactive, stopped short of calling for a withdrawal from this ghastly institution which, according to men like Vladimir Bukovsky and Dr. Gregory Slysz, ...

America?s Border and Sovereignty in Giuliani?s Hands
2007-12-08 15:01:00 As much as I like Rudy and honor what he did for our nation following 9/11, I have some very big concerns. You be the judge . . .A few weeks ago elitist Republican Texas Governor Rick ?Good Hair? Perry endorsed his Trans Texas Corridor pal, Rudy Giuliani, for the Republican Presidential nomination.If there were any doubts as to where Giuliani stands on the NAFTA highway, those doubts have been cleared up; - much to the dismay of anti-illegal immigration conservatives. Giuliani?s law firm is the exclusive legal counsel for Cintra ? the Spanish corp. that will build and control the TTC for 50+ years. (FYI - The TTC is the first leg of the NAFTA highway.)According to Bloggernews, ?When Texas legislators tried to block and slow the Trans Texas Corridor, as the folks of Texas strongly desired, Gov. Perry went against them all and vetoed it. And most recently Gov. Perry told those of us who want a border fence that what we believe is ?idiocy? .Here's the quote from the Associated Press?M...

It Is the Sovereignty Stupid
2007-10-09 23:27:00 by Larry C. Johnson Word over the weekend that Iraq is brokering an arms deal with China is good news if you are pulling for Iraq to exercise sovereignty. Of course the back story to the Chinese arms deal is more bad news. In essence, the Shia government distrusts what the United States is doing among the Sunni tribes in Anbar and wants weapons for Shia militia and police to protect Shia communities from the former allies of Saddam Hussein. The question of sovereignty raised by the purchase of Chinese AK-47s is but the beginning of determining whether Iraq’s Shia will stand up so we can stand down and whether we really mean what we say. The reality on the ground continues to highlight the impotence of the Maliki government and the proconsul might wielded by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker. Sure we try to maintain the fiction that there is a functioning government in Baghdad that is under Iraqi control, but when push comes to shove we are winning the p...

Sovereignty
2007-08-24 01:48:00 The Treaty of Westphalia led to a revolution in the notion of sovereignty and made possible to develop the concept to what we understand as sovereignty in contemporary international relations. Much of this expansion of the perception about this important theme is found in the writings of Jean Bodin, an important French philosopher from 16th century.In Bodin?s 1576 treatise Six Books on the Republic, sovereignty is presented as the ?absolute and perpetual power vested in a commonwealth.? This power resides in a state and not in an individual; thus is perpetual. It does not expire with its holder. To him, sovereignty has limits although it is absolute. Its exercise is only in the public sphere, and not in the private sphere. The sovereign is a ruler beyond human law and subject only to the natural or divine law. The ruler is also limited by the type of regime ? ?the constitutional laws of the realm? ? be it a monarchy, an aristocracy or a democracy. Discussing about Bodin?s treatise, ...

Bible Doctrine :: The Sovereignty of God
2007-07-03 06:39:00 Author: Eric Subject: The Sovereignty of GodPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 12:39 am (GMT -4) The Sovereignty of God Rick Wade What's the Issue? In whom or in what do people place their trust these days? Money? Their social group? Themselves? Some use exercise to improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being and maybe even add years to their lives. Some look to spiritual practices, or work for a safer environment. Such things have their proper place, but should they be our source or sources of confidence? We all live with a basic insecurity that causes us to look for something stable to hold onto. It is obvious that there are forces in this world stronger than we are, some of which have no concern for our welfare. So we latch on to something that will see us through whatever problems might come our way. Although Christians are to attend to their financial, physical, and social welfare (among other things), they are look to God ultimately for their security. We're de...

Sovereignty on Canvas: Iroquois Equality Stressed at UK Gallery Opening
2007-03-07 17:17:00 Image Intro Exploiting high-brow British culture to make a political point is not a particularly easy task. But at a swanky opening at London's National Portrait Gallery Tuesday evening, representatives of the Iroquois Confederacy called on the British Crown to remind the Canadian government about their commitments to indigenous sovereignty. The exhibit featured historical paintings from the early 1700s portraying four indigenous envoys who were brought to England to meet Queen Anne, signing an agreement respecting the sovereignty of the Iroquois. The British were fighting the French for control of North America at the time, and so such agreements were of great strategic importance. Keith Jamieson, a curator and historian from the Six Nations of the Grand River community, offered a formal statement from the confederacy calling for the renewal of the agreements recognizing their people as equal partners and affirming their sovereignty: "We, ... |
