Is this Some Kind of Joke?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court raises the question of whether President Obama is picking a clownish caricature of a judge, or whether this is the direction in which America is heading based upon our past history.

We can only hope that her sense of empathy and fairness will lead her to eventually side with the new majority in outlawing abortion which has destroyed so many families in America.

Torture Pro-Choice Politicians?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The rationale for using enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspect detainees is to obtain valuable information that may save lives. But if it's OK to torture to prevent killing by terrorists insurgents abroad, why do we not also allow the torture of politicians who promote killing children unjustly by abortion? Would not a little water-boarding be enough to save many millions of American lives by deterring future acts of homicide?

The objection is that immoral means can never be used to accomplish ends. However, our society is already accustomed to capital punishment. If we execute certain types of criminals, is it always wrong to torture?

Fast Food Government

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

In a capitalistic, individualistic society, government oversimplifies everything to a question of dollars and cents. This is because people become isolated and alienated from each other. This type of a bean counter mentality results in gross injustices such as when judges who are charged with protecting human life become instead the agents of destroying life.

World capitalism will destroy itself and collapse in our lifetime. The only question is whether we will organize society rationally and civilly preserving the benefits of a free market economy, or will we fall into tyrannical dictatorship of socialism?

The sensible way to prepare for the coming disaster is not to try and protect your assets, because money itself will become almost worthless, as happened with the collapse of communism in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe. We should follow the example of their recovery by expanding the marketplace to include more people.

The choice will be between the centralization of socialism in which direction we are already headed, or a decentralized distributive system which represents the Third Way option. Most likely, we will end up with something in between.

Prosecution of Crimes against Humanity

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

In the landmark legal decision in Marbury vs. Madison in 1803, Chief Justice Marshall recognized the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction to interpret the Constitution. The Court also exercised original jurisdiction to resolve the 2008 presidential election dispute.

The question now arises as to whether the Court has an affirmative duty to invoke original jurisdiction to bring to account government officials including lower court judges, and other U.S. citizens, for crimes against humanity under color of state and federal law.

Any society cannot long endure if it kills its own young. Regardless of the fact that certain states had legalized abortion, and the Court itself decided to strike down laws against abortion beginning in 1973, the power to protect life is inherent in any system of ordered liberty and government. Laws which go against protection of human life are invalid as contradicting core principles of justice, as was decided at Nuremberg in 1946.

Was Nuremberg extra-constitutional, or did the foundations of the American Republic presuppose the power of judges to rule on punishment for crimes against humanity even in the absence of specific US precedent? Obviously, the judiciary has by its very nature an inherent right and duty to punish anyone who acts contrary to human dignity by killing or torturing innocent human beings. If this is not what judges are supposed to do, by what right do they rule upon anything?

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Supreme Court of the United States appoint special prosecutors and issue subpoenas against those in our government, including legislators, department heads, and judges of inferior courts, pursuant to the Nuremberg decisions and consistent with the Court's authority vested through original jurisdiction, so that the wrongdoers in our government, hiding behind the mantle of choice, will be tried, convicted and punished for their crimes that have already been committed against the unborn in America.

Why Punish Murder of Unborn?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

In the cosmic order of things, the tragedy is not so much that unborn children are killed, daresay anyone is killed, but that society allows the killing to happen. It is something less than human not to respect the dignity of the human person. Killing without just cause is the supreme form of denying another person's dignity. There is nothing anyone can do, except God Himself, to resurrect the dead. But what does killing of innocent human beings do to the killer? What does it do to the society?

The State of Illinois has taken into custody Drew Peterson on suspicion of causing one or more deaths. Does this bring any of the dead wives back to life? No. Killing any innocent human being is a hateful thing to do. If society does not punish murder, we are all the worse off, and society becomes itself hateful and hate filled.

On the human plane, there is nothing short of human reason to make a society of love better than a society of hate. The haters simply deny truth, and deny reason which always seeks truth. Whether one admits it or not, this is a human act.

God does have the final word in all of this. That is why men punish those who violate the dignity of the human person.

Affirmative Action Out the Window

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The controversy over hiring practices by the City of New Haven resolves around one issue, and only one. Do the taxpaying citizens have a right to hire Lieutenant Sharp rather than Lieutenant Dumbo for their police and fire departments?

Most local revenue is generated by property tax and sales tax of local businesses. The people who pay these taxes have an expectation to receive the best service for their buck.

The real losers from Affirmative Action are the taxpaying citizens, the mothers and children who will die in fires that could have been prevented or put down, the victims of gang related shootings and other crimes.

Capitalism is unjust because it is based on the idea that some may reap the rewards of other people's labor by hook or crook. No economic system is perfect. In today's world, the two competing systems are capitalism and socialism. It is the responsibility of citizens and government leaders to make justice happen in America. This we can expect from our courts, but the wheels of justice turn very slowly. Besides, there are other injustices including racial prejudice that must be overcome.

Our courts will go a long way when they start punishing politicians and judges responsible for killing our citizens by abortion, and legally disenfranchising white fathers. While it is true that some fathers want their children aborted and pay for abortions, and that many fathers who lose their children through abortion are non-white, the Supreme Court's rationalization for abortion in the 1973 cases was clearly an attempt to hold back the younger generation of white males, just as the related legal injustice from Affirmative Action during the same time period.

Bring Torturers to Justice

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Bring Torturers to Justice
A Spanish judge, Baltasar Garzon, has ordered an inquiry of alleged war crimes committed against Spanish citizens and resident aliens by Americans at Guantanamo. The Spanish Court is basing its jurisdiction on treaty commitments including the Geneva Conventions.

The U.S. has the same authority to indict American politicians and judges pursuant to the legal principles established at Nuremberg in 1946.

The debate in America has so far revolved around overturning unacceptable and flagrantly unjust court decisions. What has been overlooked is the precedents for punishing those in power who have seized upon this issue for their own ends.

Obama can start the process by making sure that his next court appointments will vigorously prosecute the political opportunists in and out of government who are most responsible for the untimely deaths of millions of Americans. If he fails to do this, he will lose in 2012 and the court will then change direction with a pro-life majority.

Bristol Palin a New Rising Star

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Bristol Palin could become the leading icon of the emerging Pro-Life Majority in America. Her outspokenness on the sensitive political issues of teen pregnancy and chastity and abstinence awareness is exactly what our country needs at this time.

In order to move forward as a nation, America will have to overcome the inertia of decades of reproductive tyranny from those who brought us Planned Parenthood and NARAL. America is sick of this doublespeak. As a single mom, Palin brings a breadth of fresh air to the national debate.

President Obama could go a long way in restoring confidence if he were to appoint someone to the Supreme Court who would pursue the work of holding pro-choice politicians and judges to account legally for their wrongdoing. Make no mistake about it. Prosecutions for their crimes against humanity are in order and will proceed at some future date. The sooner this happens, the better it will be for the recovery by getting this difficult business out of the way. America cannot let these political junkies off the hook until the day that abortion is outlawed in America.

Bristol belongs by accident to the generation of Americans who have suffered most from legalized abortion. America needs her example and leadership to right this terrible wrong.

Damn the Pundits and Pollsters, Full Speed Ahead!

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Continuing with the previous thought outlined below, the goal must be total victory.  There can be no compromise.  Too often our political representatives in government have been sidetracked from doing the right thing by either opinion polls or the opinions of those blowhards in the mass media.  That is the reason why we have kept losing battle after battle.

The only winning strategy is to unite with one common objective, the complete end to legal abortion in America whether to be accomplished gradually over time or all at once.  The very idea that anyone has a supposed right to disrespect life in this way must be completely banished from the minds of men.  Only by punishing those responsible for bringing legalized abortion to America can we demonstrate that we mean business, and instill the requisite revulsion toward this practice in the American consciousness.

As in any war, there must be strict discipline.  There must be total commitment.  Anyone who does not have this commitment is not worthy to fight alongside the freedom fighters in the trenches of our civilization.

Politics without Principle

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

It has been said that politics is a continuation of warfare by other means. Within this game of political warfare, the Republican Party has consistently dropped the ball.

The goal of warfare is to vanquish the enemy. Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan beginning in 1981, Republicans have won as pro-life candidates. This was primarily due to the fact that fathers in America were deprived of fundamental rights to protect the lives of their own children. Democrats were supportive of this gross injustice because they had put together a coalition of racial minorities, Jews, and feminist women who thought they had found a way into mainstream society.

The problem is that the goal must be to free America completely from the notion that anyone has the right to disrespect other human beings at any stage of development. The wrong has already been done. Someone must put things right. Half measures prove useless in this endeavor. It must be all or nothing. Since the pro-choice concept is itself flawed and unrealistic, there must be an entire redefinition of what is moral and socially acceptable. This will require harsh measures in the beginning stages of reconciliation because too many people are still under the illusion that women and doctors can choose to kill. The only way to deal with this situation at this stage of the game is to punish the people in government who promote abortion. This the Republican Party has not done, even when they had the power to do so. Either they did not really want to stop abortion in which case they misled and betrayed the American people, or they were simply too stupid and naive to comprehend that the problem would not just go away by itself without drastic measures being taken. Hence, the Republicans have lost battle after battle to the Democrats.

Of course this has had major repercussions globally as an entire generation has lived without the right to protect their own children, and the disrespect for life has carried over into our military engagements abroad.

A Pro-Life Demographic

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The Supreme Court abortion decisions beginning in January, 1973 have had a noticeable demographic effect. From the outset, the long term effect was to take away the rights of fathers which polarized white males politically for self-defense. At the time of these decisions, all of the Supreme Court Justices were males and all but one were white. As with Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity, there is a clear pattern of disenfranchisement of a generation of younger white males by older white males abusing their power, as mentioned earlier herein. This was probably due to post-War hubris and gloating over the crushing of Japan with the atomic bomb, and other killing of civilians in Europe by the Allied Powers. The sins of the fathers are thus being passed down to the next generation as one might expect.

The last of these justices on the high court was Chief Justice William Rehnquist, a staunch abortion opponent and dissenter from the first abortion decisions.

Those Americans under 36 years of age were born after the court decisions. Many of them grew up without brothers, sisters and friends who were legally killed by abortion. It is a well known fact that all family members suffer because of miscarriages in the family. Logically, there is greater cause for alarm within a family when a mother deliberately kills her child legally. The effect is a subconscious underlying distrust of the mother, along with justifiable anger and resentment toward the powers that be, i.e. the government.

We know, for example, that Timothy McVeigh, although he was born before the court decisions, came from a broken home and that his mother selfishly chose to place her personal comfort level above the good of the family.

Demographically, the pro-life majority is being made up of white male disenfranchised baby-boomer dads together with all Americans conceived in 1973 or thereafter. This consensus is formed through a process of realization and awareness of the wrongs done primarily by white males during the turbulent post-War years.

Without seeking retribution, this new majority is demanding an accounting for the lives lost. The economic dislocations and foreign policy debacles of the first three baby-boomer presidencies represent the first stage of the process. Bringing the culprits to justice will initiate the process of redress, healing and reconciliation.

How will this be accomplished? Ideally, the Supreme Court will exercise original jurisdiction, issue subpoenas, and conduct an investigation of its own into government wrongdoing. Americans must never allow this process to degenerate into vigilantism.

If the Supreme Court refuses to act, the majority of citizens will be forced to seek redress from the World Court of the United Nations to indict the wrongdoers within our government and those who have already left government. If they refuse to cooperate, it will be up to the individual states to enforce compliance with the will of the people.

The Republican Dilemma

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/


The current Justice Department is afraid to prosecute anything from war crimes to political corruption to treason. This is because any crimes they prosecute are as nothing compared with the killing of human beings that liberal politicians have promoted and caused for decades. The Attorney General is only good at one thing, letting criminals go free.

The Republican Party is in shambles. Republicanism itself is rapidly becoming antiquated by globalization. Instead of condemning crimes against humanity, too often the Republican Party betrayed its constituency by falsely applying the pro-choice doctrine for limited government and individual liberty.

America's failures in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are primarily due to this betrayal. Sooner or later, America will have to right its own wrongs. This implies that those who have actively aided and abetted crimes against humanity will have to face justice in America. If Republicans won't do it, others will. This is the great challenge to the younger generation, to take back our liberties lost, and see to it that corrupt politicians and judges get the punishment coming to them. It is simply a question of time, and of how much more can America endure.
