The Administration Betrays The People By Having Mercenaries Guard Our Ports

When I first heard about The United Arab Emirates taking control of our ports I was sure that the messenger had the message wrong because our government would not be that foolish to give control of U.S. ports to a foreign nation. Sadly I was mistaken.

A company at the Port of Miami has sued to block the takeover of shipping operations there by a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates. It is the first American courtroom effort to capsize a $6.8 billion sale already embroiled in a national debate over security risks at six major U.S. ports affected by the deal.

First to hire mercenaries to defend you is ludicrous because you can never trust them to stay paid even if they were American mercenaries. Then to invite communist mercenaries to guard our ports sounds like you are just begging for trouble. State owned businesses is a sure sign of a communist government whatever else it claims.

Communism: An economic theory which stresses that the control of the means of producing economic goods in a society should reside in the hands of those who invest their labor for production. In its ideal form, social classes cease to exist, there is no coercive governmental structures, and everyone lives in abundance without supervision from a ruling class. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels popularized this theory in their 1848 Communist Manifesto.

The United Arab Emirates has a travel warning out.

Foreign nationals visiting the United Arab Emirates are advised to be very vigilant due to a significant terrorist threat to westerners. For further advice, contact the relevant local government travel advice department.

Third, is what everyone is complaining about, we have a Muslim country where foreigners are warned to be very vigilant because there is a significant terrorist threat to westerners. If they can not secure there own country against terrorist why do we believe they can secure ours?

This seems another case of our government selling our country in the name of Globalization. The good thing about this is that, according to an article in The New York Sun, even the Democrats legislators such as Charles Schumer, Frank Lautenberg, Chris Dodd are opposed to the deal. Not to be left our, Republicans legislators such as Mark Foley, Vito Fosella, Tom Coburn, and Chris Shays have spoken against it.

Globalization A Betrayal Of The American People By Their Government

Reports I have heard say that the Spanish Language is becoming more common in the United States. The government is failing in their duty to act in our common defense by allowing aliens to move in and colonize our territory. This is not the normal immigration trend that the United States has always had because it is our language and culture that are being weakened and undermined. Spanish is now becoming a requirement for jobs. Seeing the handwriting on the wall many English speaking Americans are striving to make sure their children learn the language of the conquerors.

In their pursuit of the monetary benefits of Globalization we the people have lost our independence. We are being undermined by our government that has succeeded in conning us in self destructive habits in order to keep is in control. These habits have resulted in a decrease in the population growth of both blacks and whites while the immigrant population of Hispanics has grown.

I will say no more but if you are interested I suggest you read this report by the Howard Center.

The Theory of Evolution Is A Religious Theory Of Creation

A multiple choice test for evolutionist.

a) The Fossil record has not been altered
b) The Fossil record has been altered

Evolutionist accept choice b as true by faith as neither a or b can be proved

a) Scientific dating methods are accurate for the whole period covered by evolution
b) Scientific dating methods are not accurate for the whole period covered by evolution

Evolutionist accept choice a as true by faith as neither can be falsified.

a) God created all life
b) God did not create all life as it evolved without the need of intelligent design

Evolutionist accept choice b as true by faith and say you can not prove the existence of God.

Conclusion: Evolution is a series of beliefs relating to a supernatural power that are based on faith.

It follows that since evolution is the religious expression of Evolutionist then when the government forces it on children in schools then they are violating both the non-establishment clause and the free exercise of religion clause of the First Amendment.

The Government Can Encourage Good Marriages By Legislation

I watched Fox News and saw two of their programs that mentioned the Pick a partner program which is attempting to decrease the divorce rate of members of the United States Military. According to them a recent Ohio State University study has validated there claim that the program helps cut down on divorces.

I also saw claims on the South Carolina Family Law Blog that claims the divorce rate of military families is going down. If this is true then we need to look at what the military is doing and if the divorce to marriage ratio is also going down. This is because if less individuals are getting married in the first place then it makes sense that the divorce rate would go down.

My proposed solution to the divorce and troubled marriage problem is to have a mandatory engagement period before marriage where the couple has to attend a program like Pick a partner. This period should be long enough to stop the couple from having a hasty marriage but not so long as to encourage cohabitation.

How Freedom Of The Press Is Deprived By Lack Of Intellectual Diversity

I am going to use conservative and liberal commentary to show how the lack of intellectual diversity on Campus has deprived the people of the United States of their freedom. The first point is that education and the press share one thing is common. That is that they both impart information on which their constituents base their worldview. The need for a free country to have a free and impartial press is also the need for a free and impartial education. Thomas Jefferson addressed this point when speaking about freedom of the press.

"The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785. (*) ME 5:181, Papers 8:632

What happens if those newswriters are university professors and the government is liberal organizations. The university professors belong to Unions such as the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) which are left wing organizations. AAUP was formed in 1915 which was an important but little known period in the history of the United States.

More than eighty years later the AAUP is still addressing the kinds of abuse that spurred Lovejoy and Dewey to organize the Association. Academia has changed a lot since 1915, but there are still people who want to control what professors teach and write. Thanks to the AAUP, academic freedom is recognized as the fundamental principle of our profession. Despite this acceptance, academic freedom remains vulnerable. The attacks are more subtle in some cases, but the response must always be decisive.

The AAUP considers that professors should be “free” to say what the AAUP wants them to say as the AAUP takes a political stance on such issues as homosexuality.

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) supports the provision of such benefits to professors. The Association’s On Discrimination provides:

The Association is committed to use its procedures and to take measures, including censure, against colleges and universities practicing illegal or unconstitutional discrimination, or discrimination on a basis not demonstrably related to the job function involved, including but not limited to age, sex, disability, race, religion, national origin, marital status, or sexual orientation.

Stanley Fish who is critical of the right for bringing up the issue of intellectual diversity admits that the left dominates the curriculum at major universities with these words.

If victory for the right meant turning back or retarding the growth of programs like women's studies, African-American studies, Chicano studies, Latino studies, cultural studies, gay and lesbian (and now transgender) studies, postmodern studies, and poststructuralist theory, then the left won big time, for these programs flourish (especially among the young) and are the source of much of the intellectual energy in the liberal arts.

He seems to believe intellectual energy is when the young are only given one viewpoint of a given subject and when that perspective agrees with his worldview.

You should by this time see why intellectual diversity does not exist on campus and why the academic community that belongs to left wing union dominated organizations are howling about even minor attempts to change that fact. Below is commentary from Paul Weyrich about South Dakota and it’s attempted assault on these left wing unions and their dominion of the academic community.

Perhaps having learned how academia will stick together on such legislation we can recognize the effort was a bit of an overreach. Yet presently a far softer bill is making its way through the South Dakota Legislature. This bill, too, is eliciting howls from academia, which is telling the Legislature that, although even in this small State, a half a billion dollars annually is provided for higher education, the Legislature should have no say as to how the institutions of higher learning conduct themselves. This bill very simply requires the six South Dakota State universities which receive State funding to annually report what steps are being taken to insure "intellectual diversity."

The education of the United States is not free since student are receiving information that is delivered from only one side. This is not only a problem that exists in institutes of higher education since even "lower" education teachers are members of unions. One way that the United States will become free again is to destroy the dominion of organizations like the AAUP over the academic community. Those politicians that are willing to make the attempt need to be encouraged at every step.
