When You Stare Into the Face of the Collective
Nietzsche said "
If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
To me the Abyss is the Collective Statist Mindset.
It is not only that the Progressive Left (and others) feel that they have the right to make our decisions for us,
Because they know what is best for those who have a more limited mental capacity than the elite.
But there seems to be an attitude that the Rules do not apply to them, because they know the Truth and their Hearts are Pure.
Jack Murtha was a classic example of both attitudes and no scene could more aptly illustrate this better than this video.
Now you may say, "Dan what else could you expect from the Progressive Left?"
I would agree with you but I think neither of us would expect that same Spirit to be alive and thriving in a State Convention of the Republican Party of Iowa.
But that is exactly what happened in the 2008 RPI State Convention.
I was THERE. I SAW it. I HEARD it.
I ask you who are reading this to NOT take MY word for this.
Whether you believe the tale I am about to unfold or not,
I URGE you, if you were not there to search out someone who WAS,
Someone in whom you have confidence and ask them to relay to you in their own words what they witnessed.
As for me this is what I saw and heard.
There was some displeasure about the delegates to the National
Convention and it was evident an attempt would be made to change the make up of the delegation,
David Chung appeared before the Convention and explained to the Delegates the appropriate Parliamentary Method by which this could be done.
This process had no sooner started than a frantic motion was made to bring it to a halt.
Now at this point I must stipulate one thing,
Reasonable people could in truth have heard the Yeahs and Nahs differently.
The Yeahs for the most part came from the portion of the floor directly in front of the Chair,
The Nahs came from both of the wings
But there CANNOT be any difference of opinion as to the Chairs responce to Calls for Division,
That under Roberts Rules of Order does NOT have to be recognized by the Chair, can NOT be debated and MUST be acted upon.
That is to say a Count MUST be tallied.
Which the Chair DID NOT DO.
Calls for Division were IGNORED.
Not because they were not heard,
They came from all over the Floor and they came from people who held microphones and thus were on the loud speakers,
Now folks THAT is the way someone like Jack Murtha used to Chair, NOT what I expect to see happen in a Convention of OUR PARTY.
At the time I swore I would do my best to see that this type of shameful behavior was not repeated during the Next State Convetion,'
I was distracted over the time until just recently because the same group that took control over the last State Convetion a few months later took control over my County Central Committee
And proceeded to operate under the same form of Violation of Rules in our State, County Constitutions ByLaws and Rules of Procedure.
So I spent the last year posting records of exactly which portions of the above were being broken,
I have been accused for my actions of being DIVISIVE.
If insisting that Constituions, ByLaws and Rules of Procedure are to be FOLLOWED and ENFORCED is Divisive
I STAND GUILTY AS CHARGED
I was recently called to task by our National Committeeman and the President of the Iowa Christian Alliaince, for my activities
Had this been done in a private communication, I could not ethically use it.
But it was done in a public forum, my Facebook Wall before and audience of some 1040 Facebook friends from all over the world.
I come from a kind of folk, who when called out RESPOND.
Here is our Exchange
Steve Scheffler › Daniel W Kauffman Jr: My my you spend wasted time name calling and causing division in the party. If you and others who apparently spent one iota of your time working for good candidates as you do this off the wall junk--you would be awarded volunteer of the year. By the way did you see where the FEC said there was NO basis whatsoever to the accusations of people who were spreading malicious lies against ICA? So the lies about people going to jail sinks with all those lies being spread. You and others once again struck out because it is obvious to any intelligent person, you can't win the argument based on concrete facts and truth

HATS OFF TO CHARLIE DANIELS
HATS OFF TO CHARLIE DANIELS....AT LEAST HE HAS THE COURAGE TO SPEAK HIS MIND!!!
I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I
think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally,
made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.
I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the
United States of America , as it is a truly wonderful place.
But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying
to give me sensitivity lessons.
I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans! I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal
and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."
It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.
Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?
And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you
won't enforce the ones on the books now?
And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.
This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?
If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected.
Shame on you.
One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you
Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not.
And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.
And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."
And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?"
I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to.
Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well?
If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ?
I think not.
All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life.
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop.
I want to make two predictions.
No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.
No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?
And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.
God Bless America

| MY COUNTRY
IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY,
SPEAK UP!
I am not against immigration -
just come through like everyone else
Get a sponsor;
have a place to lay your head;
have a job;
pay your taxes;
live by the rules;
and
LEARN THE LANGUAGE
as all other immigrants have in the past
and
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
PART OF THE PROBLEM
Think about this:
If you don't want to forward this
for fear of offending someone,
YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
Will we still be the Country of choice
and still be America if we continue
to make the changes forced on us by
people from other countries who came
to live in America because it is the
Country of Choice?
Think about it!
All we have to say is, when will
Someone do something about
MY RIGHTS?
We've gone so far the other way,
bent over backwards to not
offend anyone, that I am now
being offended.
But it seems no one has a problem
with that.
"In God We Trust"
is our national motto. This is not
some Christian, right wing, political slogan.
We adopted this motto because Christian men
and women - on Christian principles - founded
this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls
of our schools.
It is Time for America to Speak up
If you agree - pass this along;
if you don't agree - delete it! |

Remember '08?
Nashville is going through what Cedar Rapids went through,
Was it only two years ago??
Nashville Flood 2010: The Disaster You May Not Have Heard About
A great American city is currently buried under a sea of water, but you may not know much about it given all the attention media have given to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the failed car bomb attempt in New York's Times Square.
The rain totals are almost unimaginable as is the flooding.
Damage estimates at this point have already surpassed a billion dollars, and are likely to go higher.
My Hometown Paducah Ky is about 25 miles or so downstream of where the Cumberland joins the Ohio
Flooding there seems to be pretty much out in the country due to Barkley Dam
Flooding below Barkley Dam and Interstate 24 (background) is extensive. Barge companies are adjusting their routes, and the U.S. Coast Guard ordered recreational vessels off the Ohio and Cumberland rivers and Kentucky and Barkley lakes. The unprecedented ban is expected to continue until at least Monday. Violators could face a fine up to $32,500.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard is warning that some rural parts of Kentucky are about to be inundated by the worst flooding in 200 years
Day Of Reckoning
Listen to this Video while you read the following
This song speaks to me in a special way.
If it does not do the same to to you,
Then I am happy for you.
Not because it means you are unfeeling, callous or indifferent,
But because it means you are fortunate.
If you have ever looked into eyes that are two slits out of the Pits of Hell,
It changes you.
If you have had that happen more than once
And even more, have that within you that which resonates with that pain from your own personal experience, though it originates from a totally different cause.
It Marks you,
And anywhere anytime you can see those marks in someone else.
I have looked into the Soul of the American Electorate and seen the Marks there.
For too long the Political Class has beaten us down, slapped us around, cheated, robbed and lied to us.
Some of us have bought into the lies, that, this is just the way things are.
That it is somehow our fault and what we deserve.
When a few have stood up to claim that what has been happening is wrong and against what this Nation was founded to Stand for,
We are called extremist, fringe, racist, xenophobes, clinging to our guns and thumping our Bibles.
They ridicule and defame us and then to add insult to injury, when we respond, decry the lack of civility in public discourse and put the blame on us.
In other words they use all the tricks and tools that someone who thinks they are Masters use to keep Slaves in their proper place,
But we are NOT Slaves, we are Free men and Women in the first Society in the History of the Human Race that stands for the Rights of the Individual rather than an Autocratic Elite.
They do not like us to remember that,
To us has been given Three Things that stand as a Beacon of Light to the World
The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
It is time to take back our Heritage from those who have betrayed it.
To paraphrase the song above with some slight alteration of it's words
Let Freedom Ring,
Let the Eagle Scream
Let the whole world know that
November 2cd
Will be a Day of Reckoning
Let the Weak be Strong
For the Right's been Wronged
Roll The Stone Away,
Let the Guilty pay,
It's Independence Day
I declare the 2cd American Revolution and it is for the same reason
that the 1st was declared, Read the Declaration of Independence and
see for yourselves if what sparked it, is not upon us now,
There may be those now as back then who do not want any trouble of or '
confrontation. Who are content to let others make their decisions for
them and be taken care of.
For them I repeat the words of Samuel Adams to those of that opinion in
his day.
If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude than the
animated contest of freedom, go
from us in peace. We ask not your
counsels or arms. Crouch down and
lick the hands which feed you. May
your chains sit lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you
were our countrymen!”

The Next Generation Will Vote Republican
You can forget about The Health Care Take Over
You can forget about Cap and Trade, about Illegal Aliens and Voter Fraud
While these are Vital and Important Issues, there ARE some things which are
Sacred.
A county supervisor in California wants to ban Happy Meal toys and other similar treats that are given away with children's fast food meals.
This same county in Silcon Valley issued a law in 2008 that required chain restaurants to include a calorie count on their menus, which was later adopted by the state of California. And trends that start in California often spread to the rest of the nation.
Ken Yeager, the Santa Clara County Supervisor, is presenting a law at Tuesday's county board meeting to ban toys given away with unhealthy food. He believes the toys are used to encourage children to eat fatty, sugary, high-calorie meals that can lead to childhood obesity.
Yes when you start attacking Happy Meals and Ronald McDonald
You are going TOO FAR!!!!
And here I thought the Progressives were after the Young Vote.

When Mountains Move
They say if you can apply enough force, you can move mountains.
I have given some thought to this, as I come from People who really don't like being "moved" by outside forces that much.
I am Ani Yun Wiwa (Of the Total of All Real People)
My Great Aunt Ruby (who was a Medicine Woman) said to me when I was a boy, "Danny you just look White, NEVER forget that you are Really CHEROKEE."
If you know the History of my Ancestors you realize we REALLY don't like being moved. If you don't, you can see why Here.
That's my Mother's side, mostly from Cherokee, Welsh and Irish Stock,
My Father's People come from the Mountains of Pennsylvania, Platt Deutch, Pennsylvania Dutch and Scots.
So I am descended from a rather stiff necked stubborn stock.
Which makes me by nature Conservative.
It is not that my People cannot accept change its just that we think what is good enough for the North American Continental Plate is good enough for us.
A sedate Plate Tech tonic shift of say, 5 to 10 centimeters a year give one time to consider the direction and implications.
So it was with my own particular cultural matrix I listened to Iowa's National Committeeman expounding on some actions by our Party Leadership at the 2cd District Convention last Saturday.
You can find some information on that subject on the Iowa Independent website in
Iowa’s Scheffler supports GOP ‘purity test’
Iowa Christian Alliance President and Republican National Committee member Steve Scheffler is among 10 co-sponsors of a resolution being circulated that aims to impose a conservative litmus test on potential GOP candidates.
The resolution, dubbed a “purity test” by the media, became public Monday. It lists 10 positions Republican candidates should support to demonstrate that they “espouse conservative principles and public policies” that are in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda.” Any Republican candidate who breaks with the guidelines of the resolution on three or more of these issues would be penalized by being denied party funds or the party endorsement.
Mr Scheffler mentioned the New York Politician Dierdre Scozzafava as an example. What he failed to mention was that it was the Voters who rejected her and the Party Leadership there which chose her.
Also not mentioned was the peculiar case of Senator Arlen Specter who did not seem to have much of a problem with the Republican Party LEADERSHIP, but was quick to jump ship when it became apparent that the Voters were probably going to reject him in the next Primary.
It is for those reasons along with my Native Conservative Nature that I feel that any "Litmus Test" needs to be left in the hands of the Party Membership and not entrusted to the Party Leadership, who have been sorely failing in that area.
The only Litmus Test I can in good conscience support is that rendered by the VOTERS in a PRIMARY.
Most of us are Adults and WE can decide for OURSELVES who we want to represent US.
The Party Leadership does not seem to have a good track record in this area anyway.
To go back to what I started this with I think it is true, if you apply enough force you CAN move mountains,
I also think the Political Class in this country HAS applied that force, but perhaps unwittingly, and the Mountains of the Poltical Desires of the Body Plolitic ARE on the move.
There are two other truths, if the Mountians Move, you had best be going in the same direction as they are or get out of their way.
IMO Mr Scheffler has not taken these truths to heart and feels that he can LEAD us in the direction HE chooses.

Tax Slavery Day
This just in
By overwhelming majority, the people who responded to my inquiry about where to hold the April 15th tax slavery protest have voted to take our protest to the state run silent media. so with that said, we will be holding out lunch hour protest at the corner of green square park and the KCRG/Gazette building, 11:30 am 12:30 pm. on Thursday April 15th 2010.
Bring your signs, your voice and your outrage.
Let the state run media outlets know that we will no longer tolerate their poor "reporting" and slanted headlines made to cover up an unpopular President, Governor and legislature.
headlines like this pretty much sums up the fine job our Iowa media outlets are doing.
I know a lot of people are working, but if we wait until late in the day, we have no chance of getting any media exposure.
See you there and as always, spelling and grammar mistakes are mine !

Now some may think this is Hyperbole, for them I present the following to mull over
Whenever there is talk of Tax Cuts the Left gets hysterical about what the Republicans are "giving" to the Rich.
Set aside for the moment that average hardworking American Families will also get tax buts.
Consider the concept of a Tax Cut as GIVING someone money.
Let me put it in simpler terms. Say in the form of a Word Problem such as we might have worked in Grade School
If John sticks a gun in Richard's face and has him empty the $100 dollars Richard has in his wallet into John's hands but does NOT (because he did not know about it) have him hand over the $200 Richard has stuck down in his boot.
How much money did John GIVE to Richard???
Now MY answer is NOTHING, not ONE RED CENT was given to Richard by John.
The Progressive Left would do this calculation differently.
Just think 100 years or so during the rise of Unionism, Socialism and Marxism, the Left spoke fervently about the Right of the Workers to the Proceeds of their Labor.
But it is now the 21st Century and the Progressive Left has a New Paradigm.
The Proceeds of YOUR Labor is now the Common Property of Mankind and anything that the Collective leaves to you is the GIFT of the Benevolent State,
If you disagree with those concepts join your fellows on April 15 and exercise your Right to
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And if anyone should have the gall to tell you that what you are doing just shows how Racist you are?
Just look confused and say, "But Marxism is not a Race."

HIDDEN IN THE BILL!
Unbelievable - Harry Reid Hidden deep in the Health Care Bill this passage.
They never stop, they will keep trying to shove this down our throats until they get it through... pass on to everyone...
The impudent tyranny of Sen. Harry Reid
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is proving once again... the maxim that darkness hates the light. ... See More
Buried in his massive amendment to the Senate version of Obama care is Reid's anti-democratic poison pill designed to prevent any future Congress from repealing the central feature of this monstrous legislation!
Beginning on page 1,000 of the measure, Section 3403 reads in part: ". it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection."
In other words, if President Barack Obama signs this measure into law, no future Senate or House will be able to change a single word of Section 3403, regardless whether future Americans or their representatives in Congress wish otherwise!!
Note that the subsection at issue here concerns the regulatory power of the Independent Me dicare Advisory Board (IMAB) to "reduce the per capita rate of growth in Me dicare spending."
That is precisely the kind of open ended grant of regulatory power that effectively establishes the IMAB as the ultimate arbiter of the cost, quality and quantity of health care to be made available to the American people. And Reid wants the decisions of this group of unelected federal bureaucrats to be untouchable for all time.
No wonder the majority leader tossed aside assurances that senators and the public would have at least 72 hours to study the text of the final Senate version of Obama care before the critical vote on cloture. And no wonder Reid was so desperate to rush his amendment through the Senate, even scheduling the key tally on it at 1 a.m., while America slept.
True to form, Reid wanted to keep his Section 3403 poison pill secret for as long as possible, just as he negotiated his bribes for the votes of Senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Bernie Sanders of Vermont behind closed doors.
The final Orwellian touch in this subversion of democratic procedure is found in the ruling of the Reid controlled Senate Parliamentarian that the anti repeal provision is not a change in Senate rules, but rather of Senate "procedures." Why is that significant?
Because for 200 years, changes in the Senate's standing rules have required approval by two thirds of those voting, or 67 votes rather than the 60 Reid's amendment received.
Reid has flouted two centuries of standing Senate rules
to pass a measure in the dead of night that no senator has read, and part of which can never be changed. If this is not tyranny, then what is?
DON'T SIT BY AND LET THIS HAPPEN IN THE DARK!!! FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST!
Pelosi: we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it

Slaughtering the Constitution
It would appear that the House is really uneasy about actually voting on Obamacare again so they are just going to PRETEND that they voted to pass a bill.
This tactic is called the Slaughter Rule and I think that is what it does to the Constituion.
Nancy Pelosi explains to the American Public why it is so important to do this.

There is a basic difference between my outlook and that of Jack Murtha, the Chair at the Last State Convention and Mr Scheffler.
I may disagree with your choices I may attempt to persuade you that you are mistaken, but I will NOT take it upon myself to make those choices FOR you, because I think I know better than you.
There is only ONE Litmus Test I uphold, the Will of the Voters as expressed in their Primary.
That for me is IT.
I do NOT accept the concept that the Party Leadership gets to make those decisions FOR us.
In my opinion the Party Leadership should be stricly neutral during the Primary and Partisan during the General Election,
They shoud be our Trusted Servants, they should NOT Govern us.
I urge you to consider these matters, in particular the events of the Last State Convention,
Then relay your OWN position whether it be in agreement or opposition to me to other Republcans, those who will be attending this coming State Convtion,
AND
Forward this to the new State Committee Members and ask THEM what THEIR positions are and what THEY intend to do to ensure our Rules of Order are followed in the Future
