Reince Priebus: "Principles for American Renewal" | GOP


After much anticipation regarding the long-awaited Republican Principles for America, I felt like I was dropped on my head!

After reading the platform, all I could think of was more...
Blah, Blah, Blah.

When will EITHER party address the TRUTH?

My question is:

• Is this the best you can do? There is NO leadership displayed in any of these principles.

• What am I supporting? I see no difference between Republican and Democrat parties.

Let's Review:

1.CONSTITUTION: Our constitution should be preserved, valued and honored. NO! Our constitution should be studied and ENFORCED! Looking at a paper without understanding its depth and applying its principles ensures its failure. The constitution applied to every American - without convoluted case law applied selectively guarantees every American equal protection under the law.

2. ECONOMY: We need to start growing America's economy instead of Washington's economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.

This demonstrates lack of understanding of the Free Market law of Supply and Demand. We need to stop financially unsound regulations that favor one industry over another eliminating competition and put small business out of business. Stop following programs of professors...paid to create "on paper" programs that can never work. Stop following an outcome-based economy.

3. BUDGET/ DEBT: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.

You do not need an amendment to balance the budget. You need to strip out waste, fraud, abuse and stop paying entitlements, grants, and subsidies to those NOT ENTITLED. Once you know the actual REAL numbers, you can build a budget that eliminates debt.

4. HEALTHCARE: We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington. Every American should get a voucher and should negotiate directly with their Doctor. Plans will be built on competition across state lines. Once the true costs are known, competition will drive the pricing down.

5. VETERANS: Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor. Our Veterans deserve program like Medicare with full access to any doctor of their choice. The VA is a corrupt bureacracy, and should be eliminated.

6. SECURITY: Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders. Yet over the last 30 years, legislators encouraged the destruction of America - with one-sided Trade Agreements favoring outsourcing (NAFTA, GATT etc.) and open borders. Legislators reduced military forces while bloating administration. Legislators' lack of oversight encouraged the demonization of coal, oil and natural gas - by allowing the rouge destructive EPA to continue to regulate US, unchecked.

7. EDUCATION: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school. Schools fail students because the curriculum is factless, baseless and is used to promote, commonality for students and wealth for vendors.

Training is not education. Mediocrity is not excellence. Students graduating in debt - can own nothing. School is NOT a replacement for family. Eliminating morality, common sense and responsibility breeds a failing nation with legislators who have no understanding of the value of the individual's rights and liberty.

8. POVERTY: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work. The best anti-poverty program is a strong family, morality and great education. The only job off the government is to protect and defend the people.

9. VALUES: Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work. This will only work if the constitution is followed. It is the only document in the world offering these protections. Defund the Dept of Education and people will have an equal opportunity.

10. ENERGY: We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home. By what plan? Start with eliminating the Dept of Energy. start telling the truth about fossil fuel. Give permits and stop green subsidies.

11. IMMIGRATION: We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy. We have a great immigration system. The law needs enforcement. Twisting the law as the regime has done, to favor illegals over Americans...while forcing Americans to pay for these "new voters" - does not fool anyone!


Those of you who have listened to my videos, seminars and lectures learn that I always start out the same no matter what the topic. Why? Because if you understand that all of the plans have the same MO you can prepare with solutions. I am solutions oriented.

Look at the left column under: Things to Remember:

• Everything is connected
• Everything happens for a reason
• Nothing is random
• Everything is planned
• EVERYTHING IS A LIE

Equate every regulation, every program to:

• Money
• Power
• Control

Once you understand that, you can take back your power. Equate what is happening in America today and see how this premise applies.


DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION!

In Liberty,
Karen Schoen

As a teacher I watched as new texts moved away from history and fact into emotion
and fiction. History was altered in texts forced upon unsuspecting students.
Today little resembles the American experiment full of pride, patriotism and
self confidence. The words, "think outside the box are no longer uttered in
halls and classrooms." Today students are taught to be common while legislators
refuse to listen to Americans scream, stop experimenting on my child. Their
career, their wallet is more important than being a statesman protecting the
people.

Couldn't have said it better Thanks Karen!!!

Youngest Appointed Supreme Court Justice: “The Real Object of the First Amendment was…”


Published on: October 11, 2014

His father was a Boston Tea Party “Indian.” He graduated second in his class from Harvard, was a U.S. Representative, then was elected Massachusetts Speaker of the House. At age 32, he was appointed as the youngest Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. His name was Joseph Story, and he died SEPTEMBER 10, 1845.

Joseph Story served on the Supreme Court for 34 years. He helped establish the illegality of the slave trade in the Amistad case, 1841.

Joseph Story helped found the Law School at Harvard, stating in a speech there in 1829:

“There never has been a period of history, in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundation.”

In 1833, Joseph Story commented on the pamphlet ‘The Relation of Christianity to Civil Government in the United States’ written by Rev. Jasper Adams, President of the College of Charleston, South Carolina:

“Government cannot long exist without an alliance with religion; and that Christianity is indispensable to the true interests and sold foundations of free government.”

In Vidal v. Girard’s Executors, 1844, Justice Joseph Story wrote:

“Christianity…is not to be maliciously and openly reviled and blasphemed against, to the annoyance of believers or the injury of the public…It is unnecessary for us, however, to consider the establishment of a school or college, for the propagation of…Deism, or any other form of infidelity. Such a case is not to be presumed to exist in a Christian country…”

Story continued:

“Why may not laymen instruct in the general principles of Christianity as well as ecclesiastics… We cannot overlook the blessings, which such laymen by their conduct, as well as their instructions, may, nay must, impart to their youthful pupils. Why may not the Bible, and especially the New Testament, without note or comment, be read and taught as a Divine Revelation…its general precepts expounded, its evidences explained and its glorious principles of morality inculcated?”

Story added:

“What is there to prevent a work, not sectarian, upon the general evidences of Christianity, from being read and taught in the college by lay teachers? It may well be asked, what is there in all this, which is positively enjoined, inconsistent with the spirit or truths of the religion of Christ? Are not these truths all taught by Christianity, although it teaches much more? Where can the purest principles of morality be learned so clearly or so perfectly as from the New Testament?”

Joseph Story’s view on religion is all the more significant as he was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison.

James Madison was known as the ‘Chief Architect of the Constitution’ and had introduced the First Amendment in the first session of Congress.

Joseph Story wrote in Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States, 1840:

“At the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and of the Amendment to it now under consideration, the general, if not the universal, sentiment in America was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the State so far as was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience and the freedom of religious worship.

An attempt to level all religions, and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference, would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation.

But the duty of supporting religion, and especially the Christian religion, is very different from the right to force the consciences of other men or to punish them for worshiping God in the manner which they believe their accountability to Him requires…

The rights of conscience are, indeed, beyond the just reach of any human power. They are given by God, and cannot be encroached upon by human authority without a criminal disobedience of the precepts of natural as well as of revealed religion…”

Justice Story continued:

“The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government.”

The Ten Commandments and their Influence on American Law

In Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833, Justice Joseph Story explained that the reason the Federal Government had no jurisdiction over religion was because religion was under each individual State’s jurisdiction:

“In some of the States, Episcopalians constituted the predominant sect; in other, Presbyterians; in others, Congregationalists; in others, Quakers; and in others again, there was a close numerical rivalry among contending sects.

It was impossible that there should not arise perpetual strife and perpetual jealousy on the subject of ecclesiastical ascendancy, if the national government were left free to create a religious establishment.

The only security was in the abolishing the power. But this alone would have been an imperfect security, if it had not been followed up by a declaration of the right of the free exercise of religion…

Thus, the whole power over the subject of religion is left exclusively to the State governments, to be acted upon according to their own sense of justice and the State constitutions.”

Regarding the Second Amendment, Justice Joseph Story wrote in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833 (3:§§ 1890–91):

“The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted… The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers.

It is against sound policy for a free people to keep…standing armies in time of peace…from…the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people.

The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will…enable the people to resist and triumph over them…”

Story warned further:

“And yet…it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline…that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights.”
