Sodomy is still a crime.

Fourteen States and the US Military still have Sodomy in their law books, and therefore is still a crime. The following is a list of states at last check still have sodomy laws on the books.

Alabama
Florida
Idaho
Kansas
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Puerto Rico
South Carolina
Texas
Utah
Virginia

US Military through the USMJ.

The states that no longer list Sodomy as a crime need to restore this crime to the books.

The Homosexual lobby states that Sodomy has been repealed by Lawrence v. Texas. Nothing can be further from the truth. The US supreme court cannot repeal a law, it can state that the law in a state is unconstitutional, however the whole case is irrelevant because a court cannot simply de-criminalize a state law. Only the Legislature can do that. The courts can interpret the state law, but the court does not have superiority over the law. The court must follow the law, and interpret it as the lawmakers intended.
Further if Lawrence V. Texas really does repeal Sodomy as the advocates say, States can simply ignore the supreme courts decision because it has over reached its constitutional limits through a process known as Nullification. The states give the power to the federal government, if the federal government exceeds that power, states can nullify it. Therefore states need to go on the record and Nullify Lawrence V. Texas.
As to the US Military, the Congress has the power to change the UCMJ, the supreme courts decision does not apply to Military law which is separate from state and federal law. Only congress can remove the sodomy law from the UCMJ, and they chose not to do that, therefore Sodomy is still a crime in the military and members can be prosecuted for committing this crime.
Sodomy is a crime and in a civilized nation anyone committing these crimes must be arrested and imprisoned. Sodomy is a crime against nature, and those who commit these crimes in many cases become infected with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS. The problem is now that there are medications for these diseases they can be quite expensive. A regiment of HIV drugs costs $3,000 to $5,000 per month per infected person. As what usually happens , We the people end up paying for these programs because the irresponsible people who chose this risky behavior need life saving meds. Where I come from if you make your bed, you need to sleep in it.
I don't think that if I am living my life in an irresponsible way, that I should expect others to pay the price for it. No the people that chose this lifestyle need to pay for themselves, and not put the burden on the people who have lived rightly.

Please write your representative to introduce legislation criminalizing Sodomy, and making people who engage in this lifestyle responsible for paying for their own medication. Otherwise this will continue to bankrupt our country.

Socialism - Bad for Business

Why is Socialism bad for business?
The answer is multi-faceted, but here are a few reasons that come to mind:
1. When the government so regulates your business to the point that you cannot move.
2. When Government takes over your business and puts its own people in charge. (a.k.a GM)
3. When Government Loans you money, they own you. (Bailouts)
4. They run a business that competes with you and they don't tax their business, but they tax yours. (Unfair Competition)
5. They require you to pay for health insurance, from a program they administer. (Forcing you to do business with them.)
6. Because of all of these government programs, Government raises taxes.
7. Consumers pay these higher taxes, and medical premiums and can't buy any goods and services they need from your business. (No Customers)

And there are probably many more reasons to reject socialism.

Ban on Don't Ask Don't Tell

On September 9th, 2010 US District Judge Virginia Philips ruled that the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" rule the Military has been following was unconstitutional. The intent is to allow gays to openly practice their homosexuality while serving in the military. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was established during the Clinton Administration. It meant when service members joined they would not be asked, or have to lie to get in. Previous to that they were asked.
The military's authority is the Uniform Code of Military Justice or UCMJ. Judge Philips in her ruling stated the current policy is Unconstitutional. However when you become a member of our armed forces you no longer have constitutional rights. You can't say or do what you want. You basically sign away your rights and are under the authority of the UCMJ. The UCMJ forbids sodomy in all circumstances. The UCMJ is, according to the Constitution, controlled by Congress. Therefor a Judge in California has no authority or jurisdiction to overturn a policy governed by the UCMJ. Only Congress has that authority.
The bottom line is Homosexuality is a perverse and selfish lifestyle. Sodomy the activity involved in Homosexuality is an abomination according to the bible, it is illegal in many states, and has been illegal in most developed nations.
In history we see what happens to nations that embrace Sodomy as normal. We have the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah, we also have the Great Roman Empire, which succumbed to this evil practice and was corrupted from within. It was only a matter of time when the Barbarians were able to destroy it. I believe that the Barbarians were righteously angry at Rome.
The same will happen to our country if we don't turn from this wickedness. We already have Muslim Radicals attacking US Interests around the world. These people despise homosexuality, and view the US as the great Satan. If we don't clean up our act, whose to say they're wrong?

Russia Going Back to Cold War attitude.

I am somewhat concerned about Russia's anti-west attitude. Vladimir Putin being the most vocal in his anti-west, and anti-American rhetoric. He has been twisting facts about America's anti-missile shield in Europe into a threat against Russia, when in reality it is designed to protect Europe from the short range missile threat from Iran.
In any case much of this manipulation of facts is designed to keep Russian Authoritarian system in place, I believe, and fear and intimidation being used to control the people of Russia.
Vladmir Putin is expected to run for President soon. Lets hope the people of Russia reject this manipulation of the facts and reject his bid.

Good News

In the past few weeks it seemed that the country was going to hell in a hand basket so to speak. We had federal judges attacking the institution of Marriage, (Attack on DOMA) and promoting Same Sex Marriage (Attack on Prop 8).

This week we had a federal judge rule against killing embryos for stem cell research, and in Louisiana, a federal judge ruled against the abortion industry, by requiring an ultra sound of an unborn fetus and making it available to the mother. I think this is very important because when a mother can see her unborn fetus, she will be less likely to want to have an abortion.

Both of these decisions are steps in the right direction.

Mufi's Record

Mufi Claims that he is proud of his spending record while with the City. Hannemann trumpeted his spending record as Mayor of Honolulu as his "greatest accomplishment," claiming that his administration left the city in a better financial situation than he found it in. "At the end of the day, it's about watching your money," Hannemann stated.

The Grassroots Institute reports that The actual numbers hardly match up with Mr. Hannemann's glowing self-assessment, however. Indeed, the ex-Mayor's bold assertions are particularly shocking given the recent emergency furloughs the city has enacted in order to make ends meet. At the end of the Harris Administration in 2004, the City and County of Honolulu's operating budget totaled $1.178 billion with $1.251 billion in costs. After five years under Mayor Hannemann's administration, however, City and County costs ballooned to over $1.8 billion with no surplus in revenues. Even after adjusting for inflation, this represents a whopping 31 percent increase in the cost of running Honolulu's government under Mr. Hannemann.

You just cant trust Mufi Hanneman.

New York Mosque

I have heard about people condemning the New York Mosque because of it's proximity to Ground Zero, the site of the Twin Towers.

I think this is really unfair to the Muslims who live in New York, who had nothing to do with 9-11. Islam is a world religion, and should not be held in contempt because of a handful of extremists.

Even Christianity has its extremists, such as Anti-Abortion activists that have gone on to Murder Abortion Doctors. You can't hold a religion responsible when it actually commands you not to kill, and certain followers ignore those commands.

Freedom of Religion is guaranteed under our constitution. It does not guarantee Freedom From Religion! Apparently the separation of Church and State people believe this fallacy. So I say let the Muslims have their Mosque, and pray with us for peace in the middle east.
