Selected quote:
Quote:
“There’s a libertarian streak in the tea party movement that concerns me as a cultural conservative,” said Bryan Fischer, director of Issue Analysis for Government and Public Policy at the American Family Association. “The tea party movement needs to insist that candidates believe in the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.

Ron Paul, viewed by many as the father of the Tea Party Movement, supports the Sanctity of Life!


H.R. 2533: Sanctity of Life Act of 2009
To provide that human life shall be deemed to exist from conception, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep. Ron Paul [R-TX14]


Also, The John Birch Society states in their Mission Statement their support for God.

To bring about less government, more responsibility, and — with God's help —
a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer
action in accordance with moral and Constitutional principles.

The Original Foreign Policy

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk
December 18, 2006


It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world.
- George Washington


Last week I wrote about the critical need for Congress to reassert its authority over foreign policy, and for the American people to recognize that the Constitution makes no distinction between domestic and foreign matters.  Policy is policy, and it must be made by the legislature and not the executive.

But what policy is best?  How should we deal with the rest of the world in a way that best advances proper national interests, while not threatening our freedoms at home?

I believe our founding fathers had it right when they argued for peace and commerce between nations, and against entangling political and military alliances.  In other words, noninterventionism.

Noninterventionism is not isolationism. Nonintervention simply means America does not interfere militarily, financially, or covertly in the internal affairs of other nations.  It does not we that we isolate ourselves; on the contrary, our founders advocated open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.

Thomas Jefferson summed up the noninterventionist foreign policy position perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.” Washington similarly urged that we must, “Act for ourselves and not for others,” by forming an “American character wholly free of foreign attachments.”

Yet how many times have we all heard these wise words without taking them to heart? How many claim to admire Jefferson and Washington, but conveniently ignore both when it comes to American foreign policy?  Since so many apparently now believe Washington and Jefferson were wrong on the critical matter of foreign policy, they should at least have the intellectual honesty to admit it.

Of course we frequently hear the offensive cliché that, “times have changed,” and thus we cannot follow quaint admonitions from the 1700s.  The obvious question, then, is what other principles from our founding era should we discard for convenience?  Should we give up the First amendment because times have changed and free speech causes too much offense in our modern society?  Should we give up the Second amendment, and trust that today’s government is benign and not to be feared by its citizens?  How about the rest of the Bill of Rights?
It’s hypocritical and childish to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify interventionist policies today. The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change. If anything, today’s more complex world cries out for the moral clarity provided by a noninterventionist foreign policy.

It is time for Americans to rethink the interventionist foreign policy that is accepted without question in Washington.  It is time to understand the obvious harm that results from our being dragged time and time again into intractable and endless Middle East conflicts, whether in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, or Palestine.  It is definitely time to ask ourselves whether further American lives and tax dollars should be lost trying to remake the Middle East in our image.

UN helps to preserve American Sovereignty, not give it up

UN helps to preserve American Sovereignty, not give it up

dear editor,

In recent letter responding to an earlier letter by teacher Greg Matlosz, West Milford resident Mark Richards reacts negatively to Model U.N. as part of the West Milford High School program. He asked, "Do the parents of the participating students realize that the goal of the U.N. is and always has been a one-world government in which American independence and sovereignty will be but a memory?"

Actually, the goals of the United Nations are and always have been to prevent war, protect human rights, establish justice, and promote social progress in the world. Mr. Richard’s touted the benefits of the John Birch Society (JBS) as a right-wing isolationist alternative to the leftist pro-globalization U.N. The goals of this group, as stated on the JBS website, are, "…to bring about less government, more responsibility, and — with God’s help — a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer action in accordance with moral and Constitutional principles."

As noble as this mission sounds, I must insist to Mr. Richards that the reason people don’t support JBS in greater numbers isn’t because it’s "controversial," but because they claim to have the answer before hearing the question. Providing leadership in places where peace, civil rights, and justice are lacking is not accomplished by bringing about less government. That’s not to say these principles aren’t relevant domestically, but if the US ceases to act on its interests globally, we will no longer be in charge. Isolationism is a greater threat to sovereignty than supporting the UN. That’s how we ended up in the World Wars.

I do believe Mr. Richards is right that James Madison would object to our foreign entanglements. Then again, Madison also rejected the right of the judicial branch to rule over whether or not a law is constitutional in Marbury v. Madison. In 1700s America, no doubt foreign entanglements should’ve been avoided. After all, it would take months to get to another country back then, but now we can be on the opposite side of the world in a day, information can be transmitting there in a fraction of a second. In this day and age, foreign entanglements are unavoidable.

But Mr. Richards’ examples of bad modern interventions don’t stand up either. Haitians would be more upset with the US if we didn’t send aid all regardless of how helpful they think we are now. Either way, I can’t believe sending earthquake relief fuels resentment against America.

The other example Mr. Richards gives is our interventions in the Middle East and support of Israel as the cause of Sept. 11, 2001. This is an area of great contention that could be debated indefinitely. However, no man is an island. No country can ignore the world. Had we adopted a more hands off approach, Sept. 11 would still have happened, maybe in 2010, maybe in 1994. Mr. Richards, you are among the very few who believe if you ignore it, it will go away.

In summation, I’d like to thank Greg Matlosz for giving high school students such a unique learning opportunity. It must be difficult to initiate a program like this given the current financial squeeze on our schools. Keep up the good work. Don’t let critics like Mr. Richards cause you to doubt yourself. Your students are no doubt learning the most important way to demonstrate leadership. Stand up, speak up, and get involved. Participating in the U.N. does not threaten American sovereignty, it strengthens it. After all, if we’re not the ones calling the shots, who is?

Most of us would have expected Debra to take a long vacation after her strenuous Governor's campaign, but her love for liberty cannot rest, and she is ready to continue her defense of the Constitution and her activism in the Republican Party.

The first meeting of each year is our annual meeting where officers are elected or re-elected. This meeting is important as the officers chosen will have a direct influence on the direction of HALC. Even our most casual members are encouraged to attend this meeting.

The positions up for election/Re-election are as follows:


* Chairman

ACORN Settles with 1851 Center, Folds Ohio Operation


1851 Center for Constitutional Law
March 11, 2010

The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law achieved victory in its state RICO action against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN has agreed to settle the case and will cease all Ohio activity as a result. In its settlement with the 1851 Center, ACORN agreed to surrender all of its Ohio business licenses by June 1, 2010. Further, the organization cannot support or enable any individual or organization that seeks to engage in the same type of activity.

In October 2008, the 1851 Center sued ACORN regarding its activities in Ohio. The action alleged ACORN engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity that amounted to organized crime that amounted to organized crime, due to its perpetual submission of fraudulent voter registrations in Ohio. The legal center sought the dissolution of ACORN as a legal entity, the revocation of any licenses in Ohio, and an injunction against fraudulent voter registration and other illegal activities. Read the original complaint here. Read the October 14, 2008 news release here.


ACORN gives up Ohio business license, won't return


Associated Press
March 11, 2010



COLUMBUS, Ohio — The community organizing group ACORN has agreed to give up its Ohio business license and not return under another name, as it has in other states, under a settlement struck with a libertarian center that sued it.

U.S. District Judge Herman Weber, in Cincinnati, signed off on the deal, which settles claims brought by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law against ACORN's voter registration practices. Other terms of the deal are confidential.

The center alleged in a lawsuit filed in 2008 that ACORN's voter registration drives amounted to organized crime because the group turned in a pattern of fraudulent forms.

Center attorney Maurice Thompson said restricting ACORN's ability to support or enable other groups to "do what they do" was crucial to the deal, especially in a state he characterized as "ground zero" to their voter advocacy efforts.

"It carries a great deal of significance because, in the absence of that term, ACORN could simply have shut down but reopened the next day as WALNUT or CHESTNUT or whatever and done the exact same thing," Thompson said. "So our goal was to affect permanent change."

WALKING TARGETS: How Our Psychologized Classrooms Are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks

Walking Targets picks up where my previous book left off (Cloning of the American Mind: Eradicating Morality Through Education, now considered "the classic" on education policy), and shows just how much of what I predicted in 1998 has already occurred.

Walking Targets points to an agenda that begins with increasing control by government of the childrearing process, luring parents of babies and toddlers back into the workforce with promises of paid day-care. It continues with force-feeding young people a pseudo-education from "approved" pre-school programs through "accredited" elementary schools, junior highs, high schools, colleges and beyond — via something called "lifelong learning."

Worse, government policy has led to normalization of bogus disease labels and psychiatric drugs. To cap it all off, quantum leaps in computer technology now allow agents of government and their often unethical partners in the private sector to track, monitor and alter viewpoints they don’t like through mandatory changes in curriculum, something that was illegal just a few short years ago.

Congratulations to JBS Contributor Beverly K. Eakman


John Birch Society
04 March 2010


Congratulations to author and JBS/TNA contributor Beverly K. Eakman. Beverly was recently interviewed by EWTN on the effects of the psychologized classroom. The cable television channel transmits 24-hour programming to more than 123 million homes in 127 countries.

As an educator, Beverly taught English, Literature, and Debate for nine years. She did her graduate work at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Houston. She went on to become the chief speechwriter for Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and served as a writer for the U.S. Department of Justice from 1991 to 2004. She is the author of several books, most recently Walking Targets (2007), an examination of how educators and provocateurs are driving a wedge between parents and their children.



This program, as explained by Johnnette S. Benkovic, discusses how Beverly “maintains that the education establishment is stealing the minds of a generation of children in order to create a wrenching transformation of our society. In books and speeches, articles and expert witness testimonies, she has chronicled and heralded how our children have been coerced to become anti-property, anti-industry, undiscerning, sitting ducks for the global citizenry of tomorrow. How has this happened and where will it lead?”

Wyoming Governor Signs Sovereignty Resolution


Tenth Amendment Center
10. Mar, 2010


This week, Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal signed House Joint Resolution 2 (HJ0002), claiming “sovereignty on behalf of the State of Wyoming and for its citizens under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government or reserved to the people by the Constitution of the United States.”

Freudenthal, a long-time Democrat, was previously a US attorney for the Clinton administration, and is currently serving his 2nd term as Governor of Wyoming. He endorsed Barack Obama for president and is commonly referred to as one of the most popular governors in the country.

In a memorandum sent to the Wyoming legislature in late January, Freudenthal made clear his position that the federal government has gone beyond the limits of the constitution

“For decades we have shared increased frustration dealing with the federal government and its agencies. What started out as a leak in the erosion of state prerogative and independence has today turned into a flood. From wolf and grizzly bear management, to gun control, to endless regulation and unfunded mandates – the federal government has become far too powerful and intrusive.”

Topic : General functioning of the site

Thanks for expressing your concerns. We've had a substantial increase in traffic, and that has put more demand on our sites -- but we're increasing capacity and making other changes and improvements (as usual), but some of these are going to be substantial.

There are a couple general rules of thumb to observe to get the best experience out of using JBS.org:

1. Broadband -- at least 768k DSL or cable. This site is not built with dial-up in mind.

2. Internet Explorer -- if you use Microsoft's browser, check your version. Version 6 of IE is not supported by JBS.org. This site definitely will malfunction if viewed in IE6. Also, while IE 7 is better, it is only moderately supported by JBS.org. IE7 users should be able to take advantage of most features of the site, but may experience occassional performance issues. If you feel you must be loyal to Microsoft, please use the latest version of IE8. Better yet, get Firefox.

3. Cookies. Because this is a membership site (i.e., you have to login to take advantage of many features like the community, etc.), your browser must be set to accept cookies. Generally control over this is found in the help menu of your browser. If your browser does not accept cookies, you will have issues with logging in to the site.
