What the Declaration of Independence Says About the Unborn’s Right to Life
| February 5, 2012 | Posted by JerriCook under Equal Protection, medicine, Rural Families |
You can’t legislate morality. This is a proven fact. You can’t tell anyone what they can and can’t do to their own bodies. Certainly lawmakers and meddling do-gooders of every stripe have tried, but to no avail. When it was illegal to consume alcohol, people still consumed it. Where people demand others eat ‘healthier,’ the ‘unhealthy’ among us continue to feast, especially on this Super Bowl Sunday. Today, most people will be doing a lot of drinking and eating. Nothing short of a famine or beer embargo is going to stop it. Same with sex. People are going to do it. Women are going to get pregnant as a result, but unlike other over-indulgences, sex often comes with a life attached. A pregnancy changes everything. Yes, the mother can do whatever she wants to her own body, but can she destroy the life of an unborn child? One look at the Declaration of Independence and the answer becomes a clear no. (more…)
Child Protective Services Target Rural Families
| May 22, 2011 | Posted by JerriCook under Legal Issues, Rural Families |
They’re coming for our children. Organizations with benevolent names like “Child Welfare League of America” threaten the well-being of rural families and the foundations of America’s rural heritage. Consider some of the statements by the National Advisory Committee on Rural Social Services:
Problems faced by rural children and families. Poverty has been and continues to be one of the greatest predictors of maltreatment. Children whose families earned less than $15,000 per year were 22 times as likely to be designated as suffering abuse or neglect compared with children from families with an annual income exceeding $30,000. Poverty is traditionally and consistently higher in rural communities. ~The Welfare of Rural Children~
Redistributing America’s Farm Land: the Livable Communities Act

When conservatives point to the growing control the government is exerting on American citizens, we are mocked and sneered at. I’d like to take a moment to laugh back. Isn’t it funny how the socialists and liberals are so easily fooled? Take a bill currently working its way through the Senate, SB 1619, ”The Livable Communities Act. It’s got a nice Kumbaya title so left loves it; after all, its author is Chris Dodd, one of the most liberal Senators ever, who, along with Representative Barney Franks, helped buckle our country’s economy. Looks like Dodd, on his way out, has fired one last shot at America”s free-market system by introducing this twisted bill disguised as just another verse of Kumbaya in the green opera. And the left buys it for no other reason than it sounds good. They think that restricting who can live in rural areas is a great idea. It”ll save the wildlife and help fight climate change. Everyone sing and be happy! Everyone except property owners and those who think they have the right to live where they want. If that”s you, stop singing. We”re in huge trouble. (more…)
The Problem with Pouting Politicians

So, the establishment Republicans have their elitist undies all in a bunch because they couldn’t control the voters. Us wacky Tea Partiers are just causing all sorts of problems, and if the GOP loses it’s going to be all our fault. Wrong. It will be the Republican Party’s fault. They are every bit as self-sanctified as liberals. Sure, socialist-liberals think they’re more socially evolved than the rest of us, but the old-guard Republicans think they’re smarter than the rest of us. It came as quite a shock to them when they were beat fair and square by true conservative candidates in the primaries.
The GOP responded like the hurumphing aristocrats they are; they promptly announced that if the mindless masses wanted a conservative, then they could very well have them, but don’t you count on any of our blue-blood money. We’re not going to help the likes of you. If this is the way they treat their own members, maybe they haven”t been as open with Democrat lawmakers as they’d like us to believe. Maybe the RINOs have been pouting and playing politics instead of doing their jobs. It happens all the time.
Restoring honor in our own backyards

We don’t have to go to Washington D.C. to restore honor to our republic. We can restore honor to our nation by cleaning up the corruption in our own backyards. All across this country, decent people in rural communities are besieged by corrupt officials who are nothing more than big fish in small ponds. It’s one thing to join the faceless masses in protest; it’s quite another to stand in the face of homegrown tyranny. For many rural Americans, the risk is great. Yet, stand we must. Tyranny, like charity, begins at home. (more…)
Top Chicago Democratic Operative Boasts About Wisconsin Rent-a-mob

UPDATE: It seems Mr. Chapek doesn’t want people to know that he’s a Democratic operative. He has blocked access to his Facebook page. Not to worry, though. If there”s one thing that separates liberals from conservatives it’s the fact that conservatives tend to plan ahead. Here’s a screen shot of Chris Chapek’s Facebook page. If this isn”t a Democratic operative, I don”t know who is. C’mon Chris. I thought you were proud of your rent-a-mob. You sure were boasting about it hard on Facebook. Until you got caught with your hand in Wisconsin”s cookie jar.
Chris Chapek is an integral part of the corrupt Chicago political machine, and he’s on his way to Wisconsin, along with tens of thousands of other mindless pro-big government liberals. Chris Chapek. Ever heard of him? Probably not, and he likes it that way. Chris is the consummate government employee turned Democratic Chicago-based operative. The Democratic Party has hired the Chicago political machine to make the taxpayers of Wisconsin pay big. Chris Chapek is boasting about coming to Wisconsin, and he’s not alone. (more…)
