Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Carnival of Liberty XXXV

Is up at Owlish Mutterings



The Carnival of Liberty is a showcase of posts about the interaction of government and diminishing freedom. Administrative stuff first: the carnival is largely the work of the Life, Liberty, Property Group, although anyone with topical posts is welcome to join the carnival. Thanks go to Doug Mataconis of Below the Beltway for providing administrative oversight to the carnival.

Stalking Minuteman Kids at Their Schools The Reply
On the 3rd of March I sent this email to the Montgomery County Council of Maryland

Casa de Maryland spokeman, Executive Director Gustavo Torres says, УЕ we are
going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kidsФ (Minuteman
VolunteersТ kids).

УNo taxpayer funds should be used to pay for salaries/benefits of executives
of groups that threaten the homes, children of those law-abiding citizens who
oppose illegal immigration.

A group is using taxpayer funding to stalk the children of those lawfully
observing and reporting criminal activity??. The whole issue of Sanctuary City
status and the actions of this group (Casa de Maryland) in particular is a
subversion of our laws and needs to be ended. Now.

Daniel William Kauffman Jr
****************************************************
Here is their reply


"March 7, 2006

Response from Council President

Dear Mr. Kauffman,

Thank you for your email expressing concern with remarks by CASA of Maryland executive director Gustavo Torres.

I agree with you that Mr. Torres’ statements about picketing the homes of County residents involved in the Minuteman Project – and even the schools of their children – were totally uncalled for and wholly inappropriate. County residents – of whatever political stripe – have the right to express their opinions on issues of public policy, such as immigration, and the right to legally assemble and protest without fear of harassment.

Mr. Torres himself has apologized for his ill-chosen words.

I do not believe, however, that Mr. Torres’ statements mean that the County should terminate its support for the valuable programs in employment, housing, adult education, and community development administered by CASA of Maryland.

Our County’s diversity has been our strength – and remains a strength. Montgomery County has become a magnet for “New Americans” because we do boast a world-class school system and a thriving and diverse economy. I believe that our immigrants – regardless of their legal status – contribute mightily to our success.
(emphasis added by me)
That’s one reason why the Council has supported the establishment of day labor centers for County residents. These centers benefit both those seeking to sell their labor and the surrounding neighborhoods by regulating an already existing condition. These centers are not magnets for undocumented workers; rather, they respond to situations that already exist.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us on this issue.


Sincerely,


George Leventhal
President
Montgomery County Council
"

It appears that Mr. Torres himself has said he is sorry and in most probability any such actions will be undertaken by individuals acting solely on their own,

Sound familiar? Of course Terrorist groups never have associated political fronts who publicly disavow their activities do they?

I limited my reply to

""I believe that our immigrants – regardless of their legal status – contribute mightily to our success"

I have no animus towards those who legally enter our country, abide by our Laws and contribute to our Society, America was built with such'

I do read with dismay that you have no interest in upholding the Rule of Law.

Just exactly what other Laws do you deem not necessary to be obeyed?

Daniel William Kauffman Jr"


WorldNetDaily points out that it is not only the local government giving this organization support.
"
Illegals-advocate group

Casa's operation has not only been blessed by government funding but it has the support of the local business community."


I would say letters to the local Chamber of Commerce would be in order. Inform them they cannot support such activities hidden.

You may find the email addresses of the Chamber of Commerce Officers HERE

I would suggest starting with

Richard Parsons President & CEO rparsons@montgomerycountychamber.com

Pass it on.

Is There Nothing Sacred Anymore?
My Buddy Gabe was telling me he saw some

Cajun Crawdads

on sale not too long ago.

There were marked

Product of the People's Republic of China.

Is There Nothing Sacred Anymore?

Red Gumbo? Commie Jambalaya?

Oh I can hear Hank Williams spinning in his grave!


"They Just Don’t Taste Good"

by Jeff Seigel

The sigh in Frank Randol’s voice speaks volumes.


“What happens,” says Randol, a Lafayette, La., restaurateur and crawfish entrepreneur, “is that people will go the grocery store, and they’ll buy crawfish tails and cook them, and they’ll taste bad. And then they’ll figure that crawfish aren’t any good and that Cajun cooking isn’t any good.”

What isn’t good – and anyone who has taste-tested them will attest to this – are the packaged Chinese crawfish tails that are overrunning the American market.
This spring, at the height of crawfish season, be wary of the Asian imports. They look the same, are packaged in the same way (usually complete with a Cajun-sounding brand name), and cost anywhere from one-half to one-third the price of the Louisiana product.


That combination has helped them replace Louisiana tails not only across the U.S., but also in the lucrative Scandinavian market. The situation is so dire, in fact, that some observers are wondering whether the almost $100 million, mostly family-run Louisiana crawfish industry can survive the onslaught.


In the late-1990s, sales of Louisiana tail meat dropped 80 percent over three years, and as many as 60 processors closed. Crawfish must be peeled by hand, so cheap labor allowed the Chinese to export almost 9 million pounds (one-fifth of the entire Louisiana crop, live and processed) to the U.S. Since then, the federal government has accused the Chinese of dumping crawfish at below market prices, and a number of importers have been fined. But the law authorizing the fines is about to expire, and if it isn’t renewed, the industry could crash again.

The irony is that the Chinese farm the same crawfish that's raised in Louisiana, which they got in a trade exchange in the early 1990s. The difference in taste, though, is obvious:

• Louisiana crawfish are parboiled just long enough to separate the meat from the shell. Chinese crawfish are boiled longer, which makes peeling easier, but which also leaves them rubbery and bland.

• Crawfish live in water, and an aficionado will claim that the water that produces the sweetest crawfish is in south Louisiana, on either side of the Atchafalaya River.

• Packaged Louisiana tail meat includes more crawfish fat, a crucial ingredient in flavoring stews, bisques, and etouffees. A traditional crawfish etouffee doesn’t use a roux; rather, the tails finish cooking in the fat (which has been augmented by onion, green pepper, and celery).

• Some Louisiana officials are convinced the Chinese add something to the boiling water to rid the crawfish of any impurities. Roy Johnson of the state’s agriculture department says testing here hasn’t turned up any additives, but notes that the crawfish don’t contain normal background bacteria, hence a suspicion they have been boiled in something stronger than water.

Which is just one reason why the crawfish bisque at Randol’s – crawfish tail meat ground up and stuffed into the shells, then simmered a roux-based gray – uses Louisiana crawfish. Taste, he says, is all.

For your listening pleasure while you browse

"Der er et yndigt land" (There Is A Lovely Land)


Words by: Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlager
Music by: Hans Ernst Kr?yer
Adopted: 1844

"Derer et yndigt land" was first performed for a large gathering of Danes in 1844, and became popular quickly with the Danish people. It was adopted later that year by the Danish government as a national anthem, but not the sole national anthem. This anthem is on equal status with "Kong Christian",which is both the national and royal anthem.

When the Danish anthem is usually performed or sung, the first verse is played in its entirety, then it is followed by the last four lines of the last verse. (This is true whether the lyrics are sung or not



Recentlty I have been posting music to Illustrate the Diversity of America, this week I have a different motive to express Solidarity with DENMARK


I maintain my Support of Denmark, and will later today, post links to and my thoughts about a Danish Editorial "We are being pissed upon by Per Nyholm "

I think I shall title my Post, "There is no "But" in "Freedom of Speech".




When I first started upon my journey through the blogverse I created a
Statement of Purpose
Now upon reading it, one can realize that I did not hold to every detail of that original statement, but from it's basic premise, I have never swayed, in my belief that the Blogs are in fact the Committees of Correspondence of the Second American Revolution.

And that it is a Revolution of Information, no longer can we afford and allow elite gateways to control what we can see, hear and discuss.

For I believe that those bloggers who find their way, here and in particular from the Blogs associated with Sam.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

Some of us are more Serious, some of us are more lighthearted and some post the common ordinary things that make one smile and recall that Life without the simple things to treasure is meaningless.

And it is important that all have a platform from which to speak.

As I understand this process you can link to this post and trackback to this post on ANY subject or post you think important. It is open. I will repeat this every Monday.

The Committees of Correspondence welcomes your intelligent comments. And also welcomes you to join the

OPEN TRACKBACK ALLIANCE

Stalking Minuteman Kids at Their Schools -
You Want Outrage?

I edited the information on this website to compose an email to
county.council@montgomerycountymd.gov

Here is the text of what I sent

" Casa de Maryland spokeman, Executive Director Gustavo Torres says, “… we are
going to picket their houses, and the schools of their kids” (Minuteman
Volunteers’ kids).

“No taxpayer funds should be used to pay for salaries/benefits of executives

Daniel William Kauffman Jr

I urge everyone reading this to compile their own complaint and PASS THIS ON!

In other news of thugs threatening children from the comments sectoion of No Pasarn! we learn of Cartoonist?s Daughter Hunted by 12 Jihadists

"The RoP sent 12 jihadis to the school of one of the cartoonist's 7-year old daughter"


Notice they figured they needed TWELVE men to handl one little girl?]

More information on fanatics stalking children at Rhymes With Right with Children Of Minutemen Threatened By Tax-Funded Pro-Border-Jumper Group and Michelle Malkin with CARTOON JIHAD: HUNTING THE KIDS




Oh what VALIANT Ghazzi Warriors. No wonder they need virgins when they go
to paradise any woman who had been with a real man would fall down laughing at them.

UPDATE Breaking News Agora has updated their article as new information comes in


Cartoonist?s Daughter Hunted by 12 Jihadists 12 Youngsters 6-8 Girls

Ok, this all turned out to be a hoax. Apparently, Jens Rohde misquoted the information he got from the meeting he attended. Scroll down for the latest. I have posted an analysis of the whole thing here - who knew what when. I have closed comments (but not trackbacks) on this post and would like it if you post comments to this post at the aforementioned post. So far, the actual facts of the story are as follows:

Four weeks ago, 6-8 Moslem girls showed up at the school of the daughter of one of the cartoonists, asking for "the daughter of the cartoonist who had insulted their prophet". They were turned away at the door.

Terrorists are Scabs
There's been a lot of controversy over a United Arab Emirates company slated to manage six major U.S. ports

There have been attempts to allay concerns over Security issues.

Companies like P&O don't provide security at the ports The US Coast Guard and Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement do. For instance, in New Orleans, P&O is one of eight terminal operators responsible for marketing the port, signing agreements with shipping lines, hiring labor, loading ships, and moving cargo.

But P&O has no responsibility for security. "We have our own police force, harbor patrol, customs officers, and Coast Guard," says Chris Bonura, spokesman for the Port of New Orleans. "That won't change no matter who is operating the terminal."


Still there are concerns that a MidEastern Company would make it easier for terrorists to infiltrate.

There is a simple solution. A clue to that solution can be found in this statement.


Security Programs, Unions Would Stay at Ports

And Michael Seymour, head of North American operations for Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the British firm being bought by the UAE firm, said the workers handling security in U.S. ports are supplied by longshoremen's unions -- an arrangement he said would remain in effect. "So it doesn't make any difference whether we are their employers, or other terminal operators are their employers," he said.


There you have it folks all that is required would be to point out to the Longshoremen's Union that Terrorists, are not Organized Labor!

You think the ILA (The International Longshoremen’s Association, AFL-CIO,CLC) is going to allow SCAB Labor on the Docks? HAH! you obviously don't know much about their History!

No, you can forget about Customs, the Coast Guard, Homeland Security, the FBI's Anti-Terrorism Division, I will put my money on the Union members of Longshoremen's Locals. You just whisper the term scab and they will rally like no Federal Civil Service Employee ever thought of.

So there is not much to worry about,---- Uh unless Al-Qaeda petitions to join the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations). That happens? We are totally S&**d.

Carnival of Liberty 34
We get this week's Carnival of Liberty off to an excellent start,
CLASSical Liberalism reminds us that the bedrock of Libertarianism is the Individual and ask us to take a moment to remember two who have passed on in

Rev. Edmund Opitz (2/11/1914-2/13/06)

"There is a place for government in the affairs of men, and our Declaration of Independence tells us precisely what that place is. The role of government is to protect individuals in their God-given individual rights. Freedom is the natural birthright of man, but all that government can do in behalf of freedom is to let the individual alone, and it should secure him in his rights by making others let him alone."--Ed Opitz"


and


Dr. Paul L. Poirot (7/23/1915-2/17/06)

"The only security any person can have lies within himself. Unless he is free to act as an individual, free to be productive in his own behalf, free to determine what part of that production he will consume now and what part he will save, and free to protect his savings, there is no chance that he can find security anywhere.--Paul L. Poirot. The Pension Idea"

Next we go to the other end of the spectrum, our youngest citizens, and Brad Warbiany at The Unrepentant Individual presents Threat of Teachers Unions reminding us that threats to Individual Liberty can be both Foreign AND Domestic.

"Neal Boortz made a bold statement on his show the other day. He said ?the teachers unions are a greater long-term threat to freedom and prosperity than Islamic terrorists?. I?m guessing he came under some fire for that one, because the very next day, he was talking about it again. He said he?d given it a lot of thought, really examined the implications of his statement, and stood behind what he said.----
Their threat to our freedom is not that of newsworthy attacks on human life, but the incremental destruction of human individualism."

Then we have two members who pose the question, how dedicated are we to Individual Rights when the issue is not popular.

Brad Warbiany at The Unrepentant Individual presents The Ever-Widening Smoking Ban

"The concept of public smoking bans, in my opinion, really gives you an insight into the psyche of a person. This is one of those issues that really separates those who believe in smaller-government-enforcing-their-own-biases from those who truly believe in smaller government and private property rights. I see a true protector of private property rights in a guy like Doug, of Below the Beltway. Doug doesn?t like smoke, to the point where being around it even makes him ill. But he doesn?t accept the idea of government forcing businesses to change the terms of business on their own property.-----
There is a dividing line between conservatives and libertarians, and this is one of the markers between the two. Non-smoking conservatives are usually quick to denounce smokers, and love the idea of smoking bans, because it stops people from engaging in behavior they disagree with. Non-smoking libertarians, on the other hand, may hate walking into smoke-filled bars, but understand that it is the decision of the bar owner to make. We don?t always like the results of freedom, but to a libertarian, the alternative of oppression? even well-meaning oppression? is unacceptable."


David Porter at Pacesetter Mortgage Blog presents Home Ownership only to U.S. Citizens?
David posits that in the hue and cry against Illegal Aliens some are tempted to deny the rights of residents from other Nations who are here legally, contributing to our Society in a positive way.

"Pacesetter Mortgage Blog News - Rep. Bill Dix (Iowa) introduced legislation Thursday that would require proof of citizenship for people who apply for a home mortgage."


Steven Silvers, at Scatterbox at stevensilvers.com, presents Sorting through the SOX drawer. Reminding us that the State's Cure can be worse than the disease.

"Six out of ten public company directors think Sarbanes-Oxley should be either overhauled or thrown out altogether.

Korn/Ferry International's 32nd Annual Board of Directors Study found "a growing contention that the impact of these rules has been negative? Many directors believe boards have become exceedingly wary and are not taking necessary risks to drive company growth. These directors are demanding reform."


Minh-Duc at State Of Flux presents "Public Purpose" Versus "Public Good" reminds us about runaway For the Public Good.
"Fifth Amendment, US Bill of Right:
...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
There is much controversy over the public use clause, especially post Kelo v. New London. According to Justice Steven, ?Because that plan unquestionably serves a public purpose, the takings challenged here satisfy the public use requirement of the Fifth Amendment."


Yet another example of the State makes thing worse by
Doug Mataconis at Below The Beltway presents The Economic Chickens Come Home To Roost

Richard G. Combs at Combs Spouts Off presents The position of a neutral civilian a request for journalists to forgo self-defense. Another example of who needs the 2cd Amendment?

Solomon2 at Solomon's House presents Public Diplomacy: The Transformational Approach The State Dept is trying out the power of the individual?

"Under the plan outlined yesterday, Rice will expand the U.S. presence by encouraging the spread of new one-person diplomatic outposts, now located in a few cities such as Alexandria, Egypt, and Medan, Indonesia.-----"

Matt Barr at New World Man presents First, do no stupid stuff asks why support Individual Choice so selectively?

"Two doctors refuse to participate in a California execution. Fine and good, but why does the AMA back them and not pharmacists who also refuse to participate in what they consider objectionable medical care?"

Michael Hampton at Homeland Stupidity presents Liberty 101: An introduction to liberty What prompted this exposition?

"Last week I posted the results of a recent poll, asking: What is the proper role of government? As it turns out, this is a hotly debated question, and one that, at least in the U.S., most people don?t at all understand. In fact, one reader?s misunderstanding was so thorough that I couldn?t possibly address it in a single comment, or even a single post"

Chris Meisenzahl at The Amateur Economist & Curmudgeon Blog presents Hayek?s ?The Road to Serfdom? in Five Minutes

lecentre at Centrerion presents On Democracy and Liberalism

"Many people suggest that as democracy spreads around the globe, we will see an emergence of liberal societies. The popular media and the White House make this assertion when suggesting that as democracy spreads through the Muslim world, peaceful and liberal governments will emerge in place of belligerent and oppressive tyrants.---Adolph Hitler was elected democratically. If we want to encourage liberalism in the Muslim world, promoting literacy (as Dr. Syed suggests), freedom of speech, and exposure to various philosophies is probably the best way to do it. Democracy is not synonymous with liberalism."

Dan Melson at Searchlight Crusade presents Bread and Circuses and Entrenched Interests gives us a thought provoking essay on the errosian of personal responsibility that attends looking to the State as a solution to all events.

If I may extrapolate on his thesis he tracks the emergence of those who become so dependent up Authority that they extend the to some even higher authority than the State the defense of the Nation, instead of assuming that responsibility themselves.


I have saved the best for last. mensa barbie at Mensa Barbie Welcomes You presents Shifting Sectarian Violence and relates to us the evolution of Liberty in Iraq. She also points out that evolution is following similiar paths that ours did.


"The more I've come to understand the dynamics here, I realize that it is as if a majority of the Middle Eastern cities are now living within the same circumstances as we did, in our "1920's, 30's, and 40's." It's as if they remain (as is true with many other parts of the World) left behind during evolution of modern lawfulness. We need to understand this, and give them much patience..."


This is the cheery on the sundae. The memory of millions of Iraqis defying the promise of death and dismemberment to cast their first real votes, speaks to the power of the Desire for Liberty as no written words can.

It is the decision of Individuals the creates this power.

I hope you will enjoy the efforts that I have had the honor to present and remember next week, the Carnival of Liberty XXXXV can be found at__ Owlish Mutterings

RALLY ANNOUNCEMENT
Just got this email from the folks at





Rally Notice, Please Join Us!

GROUND ZERO MEMORIAL RALLY

Monday, February 27 at noon

(Church and Liberty St. WTC site)

WHO:  Advocates for 9/11 Fallen Heroes Memorial
* Union and 9/11 family leadership and supporters will also be in attendance

WHEN: Monday, February 27, 2006 at NOON

WHERE: Corners of Church and Liberty Streets at the World Trade Center site

PURPOSE: To publicly protest the memorial as it is currently proposed prior to the March groundbreaking.



UPDATE To give one example of the sheer idiocy of what is happening with the Memorial this from the Take Back the Memorial website.


"We, the undersigned, are writing to address the issue of the random listing of names in the Memorial, an issue that is very painful for an overwhelming majority of September 11th family members. Both civilian families and uniformed rescue personnel families are speaking with one voice on this issue in order to ensure that the Memorial at Ground Zero appropriately commemorates the lives of their loved ones lost during the September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 attacks on our country.

What is so hard about making it easier for people to find the names of their departed loved ones? Why scramble the list?

Carnival of Liberty XXX III- President's Day Edition Is up and running
at Peter Porcupine

When Porcupine submitted his invitation to participate in this Carnival of Liberty, he suggested that since it was President's Day it would be especially appropriate to blog about the Power of Government as it affects Liberty, especially by the Executive Branch.

It will be my honor to Host the Carnival of Liberty XXXIV.

For those who need a refresher this link







will take you to a permanent post explaining what the Carnival of Liberty is, how to submit posts, what is, and is not, acceptable content and what the current hosting schedule for the Carnival is.

I look forward to your thoughtful posts, but that is for next week.

Now let us enjoy the present
