| Well, hello to everyone... This is my first time building a website, but I guarantee that when it is ready it will be informative, enlightening and controversial. About Me... I am 19 years old. I was bitten by the political bug during the 1992 presidential campaign, when anyone who was paying any attention knew they were being lied to by a certain southern governor, who still can't stay out of the limelight. Any way, I've paid attention to politics, and have been a conservative since then. |

| Today the missing Texas Democrats are threatening to take the Senate Republicans to court unless they restore parking and certain other privileges to their staffs by 3 pm CDT. My thoughts on this are clear from my Texas Democrats page. I'm tired of the Republicans being accumbent while the Democrats pull this nonsense. Gov. Perry ought to call a press conference and say that the Democrats have until then to get back to Austin or their seats will be declared vacant under the Texas Constitution. In related news today, the Democrat members of the House are now talking about leaving and letting the Senate Democrats come back, so as to keep blocking a quorum. The threat that their seats, too, can be declared vacant should keep them in Austin. | ||||||||||
| In Alabama, the big controversy revolves aroud a statue of the Ten Commandments in the State Supreme Court building. The ACLU is leading a charge to remove it from the building and, by extension, from the very fabric of our law. What does our Constitution say about this? The First Amendment is clear: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." What is an established religion? It means that your tax dollars are going to one particular church or religion over another. That clearly is not happening here. Christians, Muslims, and Jews all revere those ten rules. And no one is stopping anyone from putting up a list of Hin- "do's" and Hin- "don'ts" right next to the Ten Commandments, if you catch my drift. What the liberals really want is to overturn the second half of that First Amendment statement. Under that, they can't do anything about the Ten Commandments or anything else. Any violation of that is a violation the First Amendment right to worship whenever, however, whoever, whatever they want. |

| The ACLU origionally tried to claim that the Ten Commandments being in the courthouse harmed them. What harm could possibly come to the as a result of two stone tablets? I concede that if they keep on their path, they'll probably come to a lot more harm later. If they don't like the Ten Comandments that much, let's just remove their influence from all of our laws. Oops. That's right. Then we'd have no laws. I wonder if they'd like that. They probably wouldn't have the chance to dislike it. I mean, after someone has killed them, stolen all their property, and lied about it, who would care? |
