DENNIS M. PATRICK: MEASURE 2

An old adage is a spin-off of the Golden Rule and it goes like this: He who has the gold makes the rules. Towns and counties relying upon one major source of revenue to be distributed by a legislative committee or, worse yet, by a state agency implementing a sterile and impersonal formula drawn up by another legislative committee is something each voter should think through very carefully before voting for or against Measure 2.

CHARLES G. MILLS: THE WAGGING FINGER

Of all fifty states, not one was simply established and imposed by the federal government. Each one entered the union by virtue of its voluntary application. The first Congress proposed a Constitutional amendment - one that was rapidly adopted - which made it express and explicit that every power not specifically delegated by the states to the federal government was "reserved to the states, respectively, or the people." This language is clear: Sovereignty is in the people of the respective states, not of some conglomerate.

PROSECUTOR PREVARICATION PROCLIVITY II – THE “FROM THE GET-GO” LIE MOVIE

Judge Feland’s exclusive defense against suspension of her law license for ethical reasons is that it was all an accident. Inadvertent. Mistake. “I’m sorry, I don’t recall.”

Watch the video.

THE TRUTH WILL NOT SET HER FREE.

During the ethics trial of Feland the Panel examined a primary aspect of the prosecution of Sandy Blunt related to Mr. David Spencer and the fact that charges specific to Spencer were added without establishing probable cause because Feland lied to the trial judge about Spencer issues always being part of the criminal investigation. “From Day One”. This was never true and the hearing panel does not seem to be swallowing this WHOPPER.

Judge Cynthia Feland was found guilty of withholding evidence that the North Dakota Supreme Court Disciplinary Board Panel found to be “so reckless as to constitute a knowing disregard of the discovery requirement contained in Rule 3.8.”.

DR. PAUL KENGOR: OBAMA’S “HEALTHCARE” MANDATE - WHAT WOULD REAGAN SAY?

“It is simply the idea,” said Reagan, “the basis of this country and of our religion, the idea of the dignity of man, the idea that deep within the heart of each one of us is something so God-like and precious that no individual or group has a right to impose his or its will upon the people so well as they can decide for themselves.”

PROSECUTOR PREVARICATION PROCLIVITY I – THE “FROM THE GET-GO” LIE

BURLEIGH COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE UNTRUTHFUL REGARDING INVESTIGATION OF DAVID SPENCER ISSUES

Cynthia Feland is basing her attorney ethics defense on her assertion that not turning over evidence to a defendant was an "accident", an "oversight", an "ommission". That claim is characteristic of a pattern frequently employed that might best be described as itself is one of her Prosecutor Prevarication Proclivity (PPP) techniques.

The Burleigh County State’s Attorney’s Office (BCSAO) added three additional criminal items to the Charles (Sandy) Blunt criminal charges just prior to Blunt’s trial in December of 2008.

The trial judge questioned the validity of adding these items as probable cause to charge must be established in a hearing before the trial.

BCSAO avoided probable cause examination by making the false claim that the charges that Blunt had illegally allowed former Workforce Safety and Insurance (WSI) employee David Spencer to get paid for sick leave when he was not sick, Blunt did not seek to obtain half of the relocation moving expenses from Spencer due because Spencer had allegedly resigned “voluntarily” from WSI, committing monies to the North Dakota State Fire Fighter’s Association without proper authorization/authority.

BCSAO falsely assured trial judge Bruce Romanick that the sick leave, moving expenses, and Fire Fighter’s Grant had been part of the investigation from “day one” and “the get-go”.

BCSAO did not have any idea that these issues existed and much less were possibly illegal until months after the August 2007 preliminary hearing.

BCSAO has repeatedly perpetrated this lie to the North Dakota Supreme Court and Judge Romanick.

Judge Cynthia Feland reiterated this lie numerous times during her June 2011 attorney ethics trial and in the proceedings leading up to that trial.

HAL HASE: REVIEW AND ESSAY - FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS

Hal Hase reviews the book, Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley and Ron Powers:  In the midst of reading of the ferocious combat, and the awful losses, one cannot help think of all those young men who died.  They died in their teens and twenties.  Some had never kissed a girl.  They would not go home to college or family. They would never have the gift of their own families and grandchildren. One’s heart simply breaks in contemplation.  How can we as a nation, as a people, ever pay the debt we owe them?

JOE SOBRAN: THE AUTONOMOUS STATE

 The original consensus broke down during the New Deal, when Franklin Roosevelt claimed that the Great Depression had created emergency conditions requiring both centralized power and lax interpretation of the Constitution. Constitutional restrictions on the federal government became meaningless as Roosevelt construed such phrases as "general welfare" and "interstate commerce" to be almost infinitely elastic. During World War II, the "general welfare" warranted the incarceration of all Japanese-Americans; there was no logical reason why it couldn't have been invoked to justify killing them all.

STEVE CATES: NATIONAL WORKMENS’ COMP LEADERS TELL AMERICAN BUSINESSES ABOUT TRAVESTY IN N.D.

North Dakota’s Big Black Eye Becoming Evident

The National Workman’s Compensation Insurance community tells the businesses of America of the TRAVESTY  that has been the persecution/prosecution of Sandy Blunt.

“Collectively we speak to thousands within our industry every day. Our opinions have been clear; this situation needs the light of truth shone brightly upon it. The time and resources expended prosecuting a man on such questionable grounds should be more closely examined, by the business community, workers compensation professionals and the media in North Dakota.”

BRENT MCCARTHY: LET’S NOT GO THERE


Socialism is a promise from politicians of a utopia void of poverty. Socialists promise food, clothing, housing, retirement income and healthcare for all. They argue that these things should be free in a “fair” and “just” society and would be if it wasn’t for “greedy” rich people. This promise has been made many times, but never once kept because the real objective is the power of government over the people.

JOE SOBRAN: THE END OF A MAD CENTURY

The twentieth-century state denied God and the existence of any stable human  nature, both of which imply immutable standards of right and wrong that might  Limit the authority and power of the state. It claimed the power to eradicate  all old laws and replace them with new ones that suited its purposes. Even written constitutions could be "reinterpreted" in keeping with the demands of the New Society. Plain words whose meaning had never been in doubt became "living documents," arbitrarily endowed with wholly new meanings by state officials.

PAUL GOTTFRIED: THE IRREPRESSIBLE GOP CONFLICT

Paul and the other candidates are operating in different political universes. While these other candidates favor the same foreign policy as the one advocated by McCain and Bush and while they are unlikely to make much of a dent in existing social programs, Paul would turn things around dramatically. Unlike the others, he would not be providing a Bush-third term or the McCain presidency that we missed in 2008, but a program of massive dismantling of the federal bureaucracy, including and perhaps especially the Federal Reserves, and a sharp shift away from the liberal internationalism that is the staple of the Republican foreign policy.

Honored as “an exemplar of virtue” and a senior statesman, Henry declined George Washington’s offers to serve as a senator from Virginia (to replace James Monroe, who had become an envoy), ambassador to Spain, secretary of state, and chief justice of the Supreme Court.
