Welcome Back to the Stone Age

According to this website, Obama is trying to take over the Internet and have it run like a public utility by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Let's not let him do that. Do you enjoy your freedom of speech?

http://la.libertyalliance.com/ says, "ObamaCare. The VA scandal. The IRS scandal--these are just a few examples of what happens when we give Government huge power without oversight. It's about to happen again--the Obama Administration is fighting for a government takeover of the Internet.

Who do you want in charge of the direction of the Internet? People at dot com startups that brought us game changing companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon and Uber? Or nameless, faceless, unelected bureaucrats in our nation's capitol?

There is another aspect of this that gets overlooked: the Internet is an incredibly important force for freedom, for liberty, and the rights of free speech that we hold dear. It is an existential threat to tyrants in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Russia that seek to keep information from their people."

Operation Polar Pen

There was a letter in today's mail from a man named Schaeffer Cox, who claims that he and his family were railroaded by the Obama administration. He is in jail because he supported the Second Amendment. His story is at http://www.freeschaeffercox.com/i-need-your-help/ .

Here is the beginning of his letter:

"Dear Friend of the 2nd Amendment,

My name is Francis Schaeffer Cox and I’m a thirty year old political prisoner of the Obama Administration. December 17th, 2014.

My only crime was believing in the Second Amendment and that the government should obey our Constitution.

That’s all it took for Obama’s feds to take away my freedom, widow my wife, and orphan my children."

John Boehner’s reelection proves we live in an oligarchy, not a republic

"Welcome to The Michael Savage Newsletter... Despite widespread opposition among voters and even some House Republicans, John Boehner won another term as speaker of the House.

Dr. Savage says that "this means the election was for naught."

John Boehner is still speaker of the House.

This confirms what we have known forever: That this country is no longer a republic. It is an oligarchy: A government of the powerful, by the powerful, for the powerful.

John Boehner is a tool of the establishment.

This means he and Obama are one and the same.

The government is immune to the people.

The people be damned.

Where does that leave us?

We are back where we started before the American Revolution.

We might as well have a British government running the country from 3,000 miles away.

The election was for naught."

It’s About To Get A Lot Harder To Buy A Gun!

Over the past two years, gun control groups have focused on restricting gun rights at the state level since they got nowhere in Congress. Now, the Obama administration is trying to implement these gun control initiatives nationwide without going through Congress!

Sheriff Joe asks court to expedite amnesty lawsuit

WND reports: Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to speed up the timetable for his lawsuit alleging Barack Obama’s amnesty program is unconstitutional, because the changes in law that Obama imposed by memoranda already are under way.

“Some aspects of the challenged programs have gone into effect already,” he explains in a filing submitted to the appeals court by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.

WND reported last month Judge Beryl Howell, who was appointed by Obama in 2010, dismissed the claim based on “subject matter jurisdiction.”

Arpaio will be forced to deal with illegal aliens under Obama’s plan, instead of having them deported, the case explains.

An Airline Captain's Story

James sent me this story. I am honored to pass it on to you.

Bruce
 

My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R. on this flight." (H.R. stands for human remains.) "Are they military," I asked. ‘ 'Yes,' she said. 'Is there an escort?' 'Yes, I've already assigned him a seat.' 'Would you please tell him to come to the Flight Deck. You can board him early."   A short while later a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier.   The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us. 'My soldier is on his way back to Virginia,' he said. He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words.   I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told him that he had the toughest job in the military, and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the Flight Deck to find his seat.   We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure. About 30 minutes into our flight, I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin.   'I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying is also on board,' she said. She then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and 2-year old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left. We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia. The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane. I could hear the desperation in the flight attendants voice when she asked me if there was anything I could do. 'I'm on it,' I said. I told her that I would get back to her. Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher. I explained the situation I had on board with the family and what it was the family wanted. He said he understood and that he would get back to me. Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text message asking for an update. I saved the return message from the dispatcher and the following is the text: 'Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on this now, and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family.   The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal, where the remains can be seen on the ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and plane side to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home.   Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to the family. Thanks.' I sent a message back, telling flight control thanks for a good job. I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me, 'You have no idea how much this will mean to them.'   Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing. After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us. 'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft,' we were told. It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller, we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp controller said, 'Take your time.' I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public address button and said, 'Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking: I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement. We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His Name is Private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXXX is under your feet in the cargo hold. Escorting him today is Army Sergeant XXXXXXX. Also, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.'   We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft. When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap his hands. Moments later, more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping. Words of 'God Bless You', 'I'm sorry,' 'thank you,' 'be proud,' and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one.   Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.   I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom and safety in these United States of AMERICA.
