Are We Starting to Understand the Political Process?

Posted on May 26, 2011 by DRenegade

The picture above may reflect who the general assembly is really representing for immigration reform. The following immigration legislation is being held hostage by committees. This list does not include the legislation for:

  1. Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights
  2. 2nd amendment legislation
  3. 10th amendment legislation

Or is this legislation being held up by Thom Tillis in the House, Phil Berger in the Senate and the elite power structure of the Republican Party? Review the following list from NC Fire and ask yourself if this was the change that you voted for in 2010. And where is the budget for our state that is supposedly taking everyone’s time in the general assembly from working on any other issues?

What Is 11-299?

Posted on May 25, 2011 by DRenegade

There are many people who are fighting for principles and our country. Most of these people are disparaged for their good work by others due to fear, jealousy or other motives (usually political aspirations).  Isaac Hutchinson Birch is fighting for the return of lawful government under the Constitution to the state of North Carolina.

Mr. Birch is a citizen of the North Carolina American Republic. Under Article 4 Section 4 of our Constitution:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Representative Hall – WE ARE NOT COLORADO

Posted on May 25, 2011 by DRenegade

I will be posting videos concerning House Judiciary Subcommittee A today but I would like to address the Colorado issue brought up as a defense against passing the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (HB 188). We cannot be distracted by comparing what happens in Colorado (or any other state) to issues in North Carolina. I think this may be a feint and more attacks will be launched at the next meeting against this legislation.

I am familiar with Colorado and their economic collapse over the past ten years. We share some similar economic issues with Colorado such as an uncontrolled illegal alien (sorry Mr. Brandon for being political incorrect in your eyes) population, voter fraud and a housing bubble. However, Colorado has undergone a process called Californication that we have not. Click the following link from Google to get over one million articles concerning this phenomenon in Colorado.

Here is an excerpt from one of these articles from the Eagle County Times:

Democrats achieving Californication of Colorado

Resistance Forming?

Posted on May 25, 2011 by DRenegade
 The House Judiciary Subcommittee A meeting this morning had two changes:

  1. There was not even standing room available
  2. I was joined by two other video cameras

This attendance and additional media coverage was due to the bills beings discussed but seeing people starting to attend committee meetings and see how our state government works is an important step forward.

How Will You Honor Memorial Day?

Posted on May 25, 2011 by dagny

I sadly never gave much thought to Memorial day growing up.  For most of my lifetime, it was a holiday for kids from school and for those that worked outside the home; a time for picnics and bar-b-ques; the unofficial start of summer.  In recent years, I have realized how neglectful I and many others are in regards to the true meaning of the day.

I Will Be No Party to Such Wicked Violations to the Constitution

Posted on May 24, 2011 by DRenegade

On Saturday, May 21st, North Carolina celebrated our 150th anniversary of the secession from the union. The stars and bars flew over our Capitol to commemorate this event:

In order to enter the Capitol to witness the recreation of the passage of this legislation, we were required to provide a driver’s license and register the number of people in our party.  John Ainsworth does not recognize the current government of North Carolina since our legal government was overthrown so he does not have a driver’s license. He does have a NCAR identification with his picture that was used to let us register:

Government Gridlock or Business as Usual?

Posted on May 23, 2011 by DRenegade

Once again House Judiciary Subcommittee A will not put immigration or 2nd amendment legislation on their agenda. This list of bills is shown at the end of this article. Here is the list of 45 pieces of legislation that this committee is holding hostage:

Bills in Committee: H36, H52, H63, H74, H99, H154, H165, H174, H183, H184, H188, H249, H251, H343, H374, H475, H497, H530, H551, H625, H644, H669, H683, H684, H685, H691, H712, H714, H732, H782, H859, S98, S187, S300, S364, S407, S414, S432, S434, S437, S457, S488, S519, S521, S586

Until we put pressure on the Republican Party to do what they said they would do, we are little more than sheep fodder to this elite group of power brokers. June 9th is crossover and some of this important legislation will be dead and buried.

Regulatory Control or Discrimination?

Posted on May 23, 2011 by DRenegade

HB 805 will amend the requirements for applying for and receiving a name change. As stated in the video, the reason for this legislation is based on an example where a convicted rapist obtained a name change using misrepresentation to have the same nane as his victim and then moved to her neighborhood. Based on our current statutes, this seems to be strange since she states that he was in prison at the time and could not have met the requirements for a name change.  It seems that the only legislation that needs to be amended in this case is to add a penalty for signing a petition of good character.

Instead, our legislators enact more stringent requirements to penalize people who have limited resources. Whether this legislation is another power grab and/or discriminatory as Rep. Hall was trying to assert without much success, we are still waiting for meaningful legislation to be passed concerning the second amendment, the tenth amendment and immigration.

I highlighted the changes in red in the legislation that are “egregious”. As usual Mrs. Ross provides some levity at the end of the video but her point was dismissed even though valid.

Memorial Day – What is it all about?

Posted on May 23, 2011 by DRenegade

Memorial Day was set aside as a holiday to commemorate those who died in the service of our country. Who are these people who gave their lives so that the rest of us could live free? 

Many of us lost family in war. My uncle John Scholar lost his life at the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. He unearthed and disarmed hidden explosive devices left on roads and bridges by the retreating German army. After a bridge was cleared as safe by another, he sensed something was wrong and refused to let our troops cross. He went to recheck and got blown up.

He never married or had a family. All I know about him is a few pictures of a handsome smiling guy – someone everybody liked. He was the type of person who kept this nation free.

Two Pictures Tell the Story

Posted on May 23, 2011 by DRenegade

As our president abandons the United States long standing policy to support Israel, people in our country do not understand the consequences of his actions. When the president breaks ties with Israel and sides with the Muslim world for no apparent reason, our international standing and trust is lost. The following pictures show the leaders of Israel and the United States in their early twenties.

And I will bless them that bless thee

Posted on May 22, 2011 by DRenegade

AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) works to secure vital U.S. foreign aid for Israel to help ensure Israel remains strong and secure. AIPAC is working to promote strategic cooperation between the two nations, to develop sound U.S. anti-terrorist policies, to share homeland security techniques and technologies, and to stop rogue nations such as Iran from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.

The information above comes directly from their website but AIPAC is the major lobbying group for Israel in Washington, DC. Which is the reason that the president addressed this group today where he was both applauded and booed.

If our government is on a mission to support the Arab world instead of Israel, this will be a well organized effort. We have seen the president’s new foreign policy stance this week concerning another nation’s sovereign borders (Israel). Since Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State in this bizarre administration, should we follow her advice on where to get our news?

Immigration and Partisan Politics

Posted on May 20, 2011 by DRenegade

House Bill 36 was on the agenda for the Government Committee on May 19th, 2011. This bill would “require counties, municipalities, entities who contract with a government agency in this state, and their subcontractors to use the Federal E-Verify program”. As shown in the following videos, the partisan divide in evident in this committee. Since this legislation would require contractors to follow the same guidelines currently in place for all new state employees, the arguments against it are made purely for political pandering.

I want to extend my thanks to representatives H. Warren, G. Cleveland and D. Folwell (all Republicans) for sponsoring this legislation. The measure barely passed the approval of this committee and it is now headed to the infamous Judiciary Subcommittee A. Let’s hope that this legislation will be released for a floor vote on its second and third reading.

You Decide Who Is Worse

Posted on May 20, 2011 by DRenegade

Representative Brandon from Guilford County made the following statement in the Government Committee Hearing on May 19th:

Here is Representative Ross defining “American”:

You can decide which is worse but both statements reflect a problem in the general assembly.

Satellite Images of the Mississippi River – May 20

Posted on May 20, 2011 by DRenegade

This satellite image from NASA of the Mississippi River is from May 19th. Since the government opened the Morganza Spillway, no satellite images showing the flooding in this area of the country have been released. Although satellite images of Cairo and Memphis were readily available at their crests and after, the only pictures of this flooding in the state of Mississippi are coming from the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom as shown below.

You Can’t Make This Up – Part II

Posted on May 19, 2011 by DRenegade

The Government Committee discussed HB 877 at the general assemby today:

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT TO PROVIDE SPACE ON THE INCOME TAX RETURN FOR INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE DONATIONS TO THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES.

What appeared to be an innocuous piece of legislation turned into an hour long debate on the role of the general assembly and personal assaults. As shown in the following video during the course of the debate, representatives stated:
