As Towns Say No, Signs of Rising Resistance to Smart Meters
BRADY — In October, the city council of this Central Texas town voted unanimously to purchase advanced electric meters, known as smart meters, for the city-owned electric utility. But some residents resisted, and the smart meter vote played a large role in last weekend’s recall of the city’s mayor and the electoral defeat of two council members. Voters here passed a referendum last weekend to enshrine in the city charter the right of residents to refuse the installation of smart meters on their property. Sheila Hemphill, an...

An FBI investigation manual updated last year, obtained by the ACLU, says it’s possible to warrantlessly obtain Americans’ e-mail “without running afoul” of the Fourth Amendment. he U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI believe they don’t need a search warrant to review Americans’ e-mails, Facebook chats, Twitter direct messages, and other private files, internal documents reveal. Government documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union and provided to CNET show a split over electronic privacy...
read moreRon Paul: Gang of 8 Hiding National ID Card in Immigration Reform
While his son, Senator Rand Paul, has taken most of the national spotlight away from his father, Ron Paul has not stopped advancing his “Campaign for Liberty.” Ron Paul and his supporters have built up a massive database of “liberty loving” supporters since the organization launched in 2008, following his second unsuccessful campaign for the Presidency. And today, he is robo-calling his supporters to sign a petition against the inclusion of a National ID card in immigration reform negotiations. From the petition: Right now,...
read moreAlice in American Wonderland
Alice fell down the rabbit hole and found a wonderland. American citizens have been forced to follow her lead and have discovered that their once respected and stable nation has been transmogrified into unrecognizable absurdity. In 1865, Lewis Carroll published his famous children’s story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In 1951, Walt Disney used the story as the basis for an animated feature film. Since 1865, several books, movies, and study guides have been produced to discover the story’s underlying meaning. Lewis Carroll was...
read moreA Tribute to Howard Phillips
The death of Howard Phillips, 1941-2013, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, is a major blow to the conservative movement. He always stood for principle. He was a conservative first and last. He started a third political party when the Republican Party began drifting away from conservatism. A real family man, he is survived by his wife Peggy, six children, and 18 grandchildren. Since there seems to be some confusion about the meaning of the term these days, it is important to define “conservative.” A true conservative, like Howard...
read moreDeath Panel Bill passes Texas Senate, moves to House
Death Panel Bill SB 303, which allows hospitals to impose “do not attempt resuscitation” (DNAR) orders against patients without their consent and even without their knowledge, was rushed through the Texas Senate today despite opposition by the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS) and by virtually every other leading pro-patient group. This bill transfers power from patients and their personal physicians to hospital administration, which can then impose DNAR orders without any legal accountability. AAPS...
read moreUnrequited Justice
Our “city on the hill” has become a cesspool of immorality that codifies into law the bloodlust of men and as a result injustice runs rampant. Most of us are familiar with the notion of unrequited love: someone deeply and passionately loves someone else, but the feeling is not mutual. The love sick person longs for the other to reciprocate and respond in like manner, but alas, a heart is broken as the love interest withholds affections. This unrequited love could lead to despair, depression, and ultimately to death, if the...
read moreFounding Religious Beliefs
From the founding of this Nation the men who gave us our freedom were men who followed the principles of God. In their writings you can see their understanding of submitting to God and their understanding of the way He would have us live. Within the Scriptures we find examples of how we should conduct our personal lives and how a Government should conduct business. Since it is clear how we are to treat one another in life, one of the duties of Government is to protect the rights given by God, our Creator. Many are trying to change the...
read moreGuns Save Lives
We all know that guns can cost lives because the media repeat this message endlessly, as if we could not figure it out for ourselves. But even someone who reads newspapers regularly and watches numerous television newscasts may never learn that guns also save lives— much less see any hard facts comparing how many lives are lost and how many are saved. But that trade-off is the real issue, not the Second Amendment or the National Rifle Association, which so many in the media obsess about. If guns cost more lives than they save, we can always...
read moreAmnesty
Amnesty or Comprehensive Immigration Reform is being discussed by both of the deceptive ruling Parties of the day. Who are they? They are the Republicans and Democrats. Instead of dealing with this as a National Security issue they are focused on using it is as a political issue. They have become so self absorbed in political grandstanding and making political maneuvers to win the people to their side, the true focus is ignored. Immigration and citizenship is a coveted status by many from all over the world. We have people who...
