The Distressed Cavaliers...the best kept secret in our history
June 21, 2009What
the politicized institutions don’t want you to know.
The “Distressed Cavaliers”…….The best kept secret in our
history, next to the truth about tyrant “Honest Abe”.(Read “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas DiLorenzo)
The Collectivists/Politically Correct purveyors’ worst
nightmare would be for American citizens to learn of their true Founding
history….from the establishmentof
Jamestown by adventurers and businessmen BEFORE the Pilgrim’s Plymouth Rock, the
first Thanksgiving at Berkley Plantation, BEFORE the Pilgrims’, to the wonderment
of the saga of the “Distressed Cavaliers”.(Such knowledge might give rise to the pride Americans once had in their
heritage, something carefully destroyed by the Politically Correct method of
Cultural Marxists.)
In the mid 1600’s Sir William Berkeley, Governor of
Virginia, had the brilliant plan of recruiting the younger sons of English
Noble families.He was able to entice
them with promises of land and position because under the custom of the day,
only the oldest son was allowed to inherit the family estate and fortune.Another contributing factor was the
ascendency of the Puritans in England who persecuted the non-Puritans.Hence the name, “The Distressed Cavaliers”.(“Albion’s Seed”, by David Fischer)
From these ranks came young men of education, intelligence,
bravery, honor, ambition, entrepreneurialship, and leadership. Englishmen of
breeding and substance. It was from this
stock that the First Families of Virginia arose.They included names such as Custis, Harrison,
Randolph, Mason, Madison, Washington, Lee, Jefferson, Jay, Carroll, etc.
Our beginnings and subsequent progress were not based on “Diversity”,
a twisted concept at best.It was based
on consistency, rule of law, honor, and a knowledge of the Enlightenment
philosophy of Individualism. A man was
judged by strict rules on conduct, which allowed those of lesser circumstances
to function and succeed as well.
No wonder none of this is taught in the Collective
Government Schools.Knowledge such as
this might make for a citizenry schooled in merit and the fact that government’s
only legitimate business is that of protecting the rights of the citizens and
the Constitution.
A great country cannot grow based on ignorance,
superstition, or anarchy, which is the result of multi-culturalism, (too many
legal & illegal aliens from 3rd World cultures having little or
no redeeming factors…in short all people are not the same; much depends on
their achievements and values) leading to tyranny and dictatorship over the masses.
Individual rights and freedoms are an anathema
to Collectivists—whether Socialists, Fascists, Communists, or Monarchists.
Every aspect of Western Civilization is under attack and
every other culture is being touted…all by design to destroy its very
foundations.Some call it genocide.
Our Founders accomplished the most astonishing achievement
in the history of the known world…they established a Constitutional Republic at
the beginning of our nation, which differed drastically from Democracy (Mob
Rule)which is how politicians, bureaucrats and other co-conspirators are fond
of describing our system today, and all
forms of Collectivism ever tried.The
rights of the individual were held supreme, not the power of government.The Right to Life, Liberty, Property and the
Pursuit of Happiness was not meant for government but for individual citizens.
Oh, how we need the Cavaliers today to vanquish the trolls and
harpies who rule over us, demean and threaten our very existence.
Illegal
immigration, Sewers and FountainsJune
17, 2009
Gentlemen,
The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled
that local governments can suspend the business permits of companies that hire
illegal immigrants.
The question now becomes, is the Ft. Smith city government
going to uphold the 8th Circuit’s ruling, or continue to be shills
for the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturing Executive Association?Will Sheriff Frank Atkinson, as chief law
enforcement agent of the county, finally uphold his sworn Constitutional
duties?
Can a citizen assume (assume is a very dangerous word) that
the soon expiring Sewer Tax was used totally for sewers and directly related
projects?Or was the Sewer Tax dumped
into politician’s honey-hole known as the General Fund and expropriated for
other quasi-government activities?
Can citizens expect the recently voted on extension of the
Sewer Tax be put into a designated sewer tax fund and be spent exclusively for
sewer improvements and directly related sewer projects that the Feds have
demanded for the past 2 decades?The
citizens voted for the expansion, believing the revenues would be exclusively
used for sewer projects.The citizens
vote was based on honesty, now can we expect answers to the aforementioned
questions?
Fountains:Is it true
that $50,000 has been budgeted for 3 fountains (not drinking) for Carol Ann
Cross Park?As citizens economic trouble
continue to balloon, politicians & bureaucrats continue to spend taxpayers
hard earned money on silliness as if there were no tomorrow.
The easiest job in the world is to spend other folk’s money!
In a time when it is of utmost importance to cut out non-essentials,
Fort Smith city leaders are oblivious to national, state & city conditions.It’s past time to pare down government and
cut the tax cord.
To Arkansas U.S. representatives & senators:June
17, 2009
The Noose Tightens
June 16, 2009 I called my bank of some 50 years to purchase
some General Motors stock.I was met
with a barrage of unconstitutional federal requirements in order to purchase
said stock.
To name a few:Name,
address, BD, Social #, Drivers license, past employers, if employer names of
recent employees, net worth, etc. etc.
I posed the question—why this information?Answer: The Patriot Acts demand this
information and I might be using this to fund terrorism.I refuse to support American industry under
those terms.
I can’t tell you six parasitic simpletons how infuriated I am
with these unconstitutional acts you have collaborated to create.These personal invasions are the very things
we have fought and died for to protect against.
Now the tsunami of anti-American activities orchestrated by
that Kenyan Obama is crushing every freedom loving American with the blessings
of the Marxist Democrat Party with the help of the Repubs, who under the reign
of GW Bush set the table.
Now comes so-called “hate speech” and other Orwellian
activities compliments of AIPAC, ADL, AJL, and the plethora of other Zionist
groups and you five haven’t got the balls, and Duchess all you are interested
in is more AG subsidies…. to stand up and defend the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights.How pathetic.
Politics is good "bidness", always at the expense of the producers
Politics is good Bidness, always at
the expense of the producers.June 3, 2009
Let’s go
directly to the River Plan. Another of City Manager Dennis Kelly’sgems of wisdom regarding “Development
Opportunities on the Riverfront”…..for whom?
Apparently
the Mayor, the City Directors, et al have spent numerous hours in concert with
the open-borders Regional Chamber of Commerce, Cushman & Wakefield (Dallas
consultants), and property owner Bennie Westphal.The city is contributing $62,000 to the
Riverfront study, not serious money until you add it to all the other
pernicious non-governmental projects, and then it becomes very serious
money.
Any logical
citizen comprehends that if the riverfront offered viable economic
opportunities entrepreneurs would jump on it like white on rice. When there was
a viable opportunity to bring in a casino, it was rejected.
Now some of
you boys in city government attended public schools where civics was taught and
I suspect there are a few of you younger ones who are victims of the federal government
school system where civics was not taught. ..Therefore you perhaps don’t have
an understanding that non-governmental programs are not proper functions of
government at any level.
The Fort
Smith city government developing a plan to take control of the Ft. Smith
Riverfront Project is another colossal case of government ineptitude and
over-reaching.
Simply
stated, if it is such a “good deal” why doesn’t Westphal and other entrepreneurs
take charge of riverfront projects.May
I suggest you go to the de facto owners of downtown Mr. Sicard, Mr. Griffin,
Mr. White, and of course Mr. Westphal, accompanied by lesser lites/lights .
Coming on
the heels of the above extravaganza is Mr. Phil White’s, and apparently Mayor
Baker’s superlative idea to lease White’s “West end Park” to the city of Fort
Smith.It is indeed a well thought out
and beautiful park, but has been an economic failure from its inception.
These are
insidious plans you gentlemen seem more than willing to strap on the backs of
the struggling producers.
The Tea
Party Reformers have it right:America,
and in this particular case the city of Fort Smith, needs a 1773 solution to a
2009 crisis.
Following on
the heels of the above, Judge Hudson and the J.P.’s are giving pay raises to
county employees.
You boys and
girls need to understand we are in a full blown depression and if there are any
pay raises to be given they should definitely be given to those providing your
salaries.You are obviously caught up in
your sense of self-importance.
Politics & Education is good "bidness", but not for taxpayers
Politics and
Education is good “bidness”May 31, 2009
“Elected and appointed officials see pay stall” according to
Fort Smith Times Record. Not from my
vantage point.
It is an accepted fact that all governments are bloated.The city of Fort Smith is no exception.The city’s population is some 80,000, but may
not be accurate due to the thousands of illegals present. The city has 900 full
time employees, plus a undisclosed number of part-time employees. The 900
full-time employees factors out to be 1 city employee for every 89 citizens.
A Times Record article dealing with salaries alluded to the
fact that the city pinched pennies in early 2008 while the private sector
SEEMED to be enjoying normal pay raises—not so, regarding the private sector. But
in late Fall the 2009 budget made its debut, private-sector employers
conducting massive lay-offs.Examining
these 2 quotes the city Board of Directors, in the midst of a recession/depression,
awarded 2 ½ % pay raises to city employees and it is observed that there were no
city lay-offs of any magnitude.Why
raises and no layoffs in city government when the free enterprise producers are
being removed from the job force…you know, the ones who prop up this
dysfunctional government tent?
Looking briefly at the Arkansas State government, Gov. Mike
Beebe created 2,044 new state government positions between Jan. 12, 2009 to Jan
22, 2009.
It is noted that Mayor Baker is given a $400 per month car
allowance and has an administrative assistant.Personnel costs for his 2-person office total $78,780 with operating
costs of $166,300; the mayor’s overall budget is $245,080, plus a $10,000 yr
salary—obscene.
The 5/31/09 edition of the Times Record reports Mayor Baker
touting a continuation of a 1% sales tax for continued “wet weather improvements”
which is a proper government function.In that same time frame, the Mayor and the Board approved an $8,000
grant to a Pro-Am Bowling Tournament, along with a $4,500 grant to help pay
transportation and lodging costs for non-city personnel to participate in an
All-American City Award to be held in Tampa, FL.It is this type of unseemly conduct that
makes it difficult to support city government.The $12,500 in terms of city government is not serious money, but
coupled with a plethora of other non-government functions, it rapidly becomes
very serious money.
Finance Director Kara Bushkuhl indicated the 2009 budget is
devoid of a hiring freeze (why not?) and seemed to say government employees’
salaries should be predicated on the private sector (in a pig’s eye).These folks seem to forget that it is the
private sector which generates the funds that keep these governments tents
burgeoning while private sectors do not enjoy the protection rackets that
government employees have.
Turning to the “education” morass.Educantists enjoy the most blatant protection
racket of all the government cabals and is a colossal failure.One only has to look to the AEA and the NEA
unions and the fact that 50% of all high school graduates need remedial
tutoring before higher education acceptance. Note also the dropout rate for
Blacks and Hispanics in government schools—over 50%.City, county, state and federal governments
continue to pour billions into physical facilities while diluting academics.
The colleges of education are short on academics and long on indoctrination,
i.e. revision and fanning the flames of multi-culturalism.
It is noted that Superintendent Benny Gooden enjoys a
$214,131 salary per year, plus the use of a car—obscene.
Gooden said, in trying to justify his absurd salary, that
“his job description covers several dimensions—responsibility for nearly 14,000
students, and oversight of 1800 regular employees—also obscene.
Gooden goes on to say his job is interacting with every
government agency….that guarantees education failure.
What Superintendent Gooden fails to state is that he has 4
assistant superintendents…count them…FOUR, and a plethora of Dept. heads and
principals.
Fast forwarding to the Univ. of Ark. at Fort Smith, which
has developed into a bureaucrat’s dream.For example: an overview of Chancellor Paul Beren’s resume indicates his
career up until this time was low level bureaucracies.Arriving in Fort Smith as UASF
Chancellor—Beren hit the jackpot at $261,029 per year.A breakdown of the total compensation shows a
base salary of $177,000, benefits totaling $40,618, plus allowances for
housing, a car, and membership dues compensation totaling $261, 029.
The above numbers do not take into account Beren’s worldwide
odysseys in pursuit of Globalism, which occur on a regular basis—guess who
pays.Another puzzling example is the very
expensive electronic billboards around town…what potential student is
influenced by a billboard?
All governments are expanding at a horrific rate while U.S.
producers are dropping like flies. Another example: the City Administrator, the
Mayor& Directors are formulating a
scheme to add on another tax, i.e. the “restaurant tax”.The tax, at least part of it, would be
directed to salvage the near defunct city auditorium.
Observe: the funding of non-essentials, and there are multitudinous,
e.g. increasing the numbers of city employees, and the peripheral expenses
required to initiate and maintain these expansionary measures.while at the same time the Mayor, Directors
and City Administrator are formulating the scheme to add on yet another tax,
i.e. the “restaurant tax”.What a great
idea when restaurants are struggling to stay in business and the customers are
struggling to afford eating out!Another
brilliant nail in the coffin.
City Administrator Kelly comes forth with another
blockbuster statement, “if passed the tax would be optional”….translation—if
you don’t eat in a Ft. Smith restaurant you won’t have to pay the tax.
I would suggest the Fort Smith City Government engage in only
traditional city government functions.Should the case arise, there would be plenty of funds available for
subsidizing the struggling City Auditorium.
Citizens with a short memory, the Ft. Smith Convention Center
cost approximately $33 million, the exact same price that Bud Walton Arena
cost, while the City of Hot Springs Center cost about $17 million…care to
compare?And then there is the Lee Creek
fiasco, and the beat goes on.
Members of city government; are you familiar with the 8
points of “Sustainable Development”, if not please acquaint yourself.. http://www.newswithviews.com/Shaw/michael9.htmSustainable Development is dedicated to
destroying individual rights and free enterprise.The city of Fort Smith is actively engaged in
at least ½ of the 8 point agenda such as “Public/Private Partnerships” (Fascism) which
eliminates free enterprise.
You gentlemen, knowingly or unknowingly are swallowing the
Marxist bait.
Mayor & City Officials stick to legitimate city
business!
If you believe in forced redistribution....you may be (are) a Fascist/Communist
No offense to Foxworthy intended.May 26, 2009
1.If you believe it’s okay to force taxpayers to
pay for bus stations, auditoriums, arenas, etc., you might be a Socialist.
2.If you support public funding for bridges/infrastructure
for Wal-Mart (private enterprise), you may be a Fascist.
3.If you advocate “public-private partnerships”,
you may be a Fascist.
4.If you approve taxpayer funding of “non-profit”
organizations, you may be a Socialist.
5.If you think “globalization” is good, you may be
a Communist.
6.If you preach “diversity”, “affirmative action”
in opposition to Merit, you may be a Communist.
7.If you think it’s proper for government to “create
jobs”, you may be a Socialist.
8.If you support open borders and the
presence/exploitation of illegal aliens, you may be a Fascist.
9.If you approve “outsourcing, insourcing” of jobs
& businesses, you may be a Globalist.
10.If you think it “takes a village”, encourage
government dependency, discourage self-reliance, you may be a Communist.
In short, forced redistribution is the basic tenant of all
Collectivist tyranny, no matter which form, and defines most “public servants”
(serpents), anti-American (anti-Founders) organizations (including churches, corporations,
chambers of commerce, ethno-centric groups, individuals) , government entities
at all levels.
Their leaders and members represent a number of
dysfunctional types….ego-maniacs, sociopaths, psychopaths (especially the
warmongers), moronic buffoons, rabid ideologues, sanctimonious opportunists,
and probably most of all, embarrassingly ignorant, social climbing,
brainwashed, politically correct “do-gooders”.
No matter the type or motive, the result is disaster.Collectivism in all forms has been tried the
world over throughout history and ALWAYS ends in destruction of standards of
living, bloodshed, tyranny, and dictatorship.
Thanks to all of the above for delivering the U.S. and all
of Western Civilization, especially the middleclass, into the new Dark Ages…..a
Fascist blend of Wealthy Elites/government, and this time the churches bringing
up the rear, ruling over the disarmed, indoctrinated masses who toil and live
in 3rd World conditions…all by design.
Dereliction regarding illegals, rule of law and taxes
To the Fort Smith City Administration & Sebastian County
Sheriff and Judge:May 21, 2009
A restaurant tax—what a novel concept!No, no, no.No to “package deals” and so-called “public-private partnerships”….the
very concept conjures up Socialism, i.e. more tyrannical government.
Professional politicians and bureaucrats thrive on other
folks’ productivity and have no understanding of the concept of entrepreneurialship
and innovation. Oh yes, the city and the
college are now engaged in training future business men and women. How ironic….and
who pays?
With your keen business knowledge you are going to tax into
bankruptcy the very folks you claim to be able to train.
Haven’t any of you noticed the “come on” ads for cheap eats
and the lack of customers?People who
work for a living know we’re in a depression that is not likely to get better…been
by Whirlpool lately?
This city government has subsidized every “non-profit” that
has come down the pike, none of which is a proper function of government.Do what an entrepreneur (or any
non-governmental enterprise) would do, i.e. CUT, CUT, CUT501 c3’s & 4’s, number of city employees,
non-essential programs, the burgeoning and growing transit system (how about
ceasing to compete with those entrepreneurial taxis), ad infinitum.
No to the Civic Auditorium (there are multiple duplicating
venues) and Ben Geren Park.If you
elected and appointed county and city officials can’t operate on existing
revenues, then perhaps each of you should resign.
The second issue:
Pres. Barak Obama has issued an ultimatum that all
individuals arrested by city, county and other agencies must prove their
citizenship.If they are illegal, in the
case of Mexicans & OTM’s, they are to be jailed and deported.Also as a resident of the city of Ft. Smith
& Sebastian County, I insist that these Mexicans & OTM’s who cannot
prove their authentic citizenship, that their names be submitted forthwith to
the Times Record for publication as a means of educating citizens regarding the
magnitude of the illegal alien invasion.
Illegals, for much too long, have enjoyed cover by means of
selective law enforcement.No excuses of
political correctness, lack of personnel, corporate demands, or lack of jail
space.Gentlemen, innovation is the name
of the game and genuine concern for the productive citizens.
Sheriff Atkinson, you are the chief law enforcement agent of
Sebastian County—act like it.If you
have no comprehension of your duties, log on to Sheriff Arpaio’s website or
view the video emailed to you all recently.Then there is the serious matter of enforcing federal laws under 8 USC.
We are doing something we’ve never done before:Sharing a comment submitted regarding an
entry we hope you will read on our sitewwww.arkansasfreedom.com.The reason for this unprecedented action is
the opportunity it affords to expose and critique the politically correct method
of attacking American Patriots, especially Caucasians.The Cultural Marxists perfected this
technique in the 1930’s while teaching at Columbia University…they named it “Critical
Theory” because the method employed involves attacking and criticizing any and
all aspects of Western Civilization, especially America.
The person who wrote this comment may not even be aware of
where the ideas presented originated but the effects are just the same.Hateful attacks on sovereignty, rule of law,
our Founding principles, culture and heritage.Unfortunately it has been very successful due to the tactic the

infiltration by ideologues into every influential entity in our society.

Comment:
I would like
to wish everyone a late Happy Cinco De Mayo! I am sure everyone who supports
this site will appreciate that. (your sarcasm is duly noted) I wrote a few months ago in support of the
people who come to the United States illegally not in support of the law
breaking that happens (Sic) when they do come hear (Sic)
illegally. But if you were in their position you would do the same thing. (a
bit presumptuous, but considering their cultures from which they are fleeing, I
can see why you would think that.)
In your reply to my earlier comment you said that all this uproar and all of
this nonsense (your opinion and reveals your value system) you are
writing about is because you believe that THE LAW IS BEING BROCKEN (Sic)
That ILLEGAL ALIENS (are youcopying Editor Greenberg’s device?)
are the problem. Not the LEGAL ALIENS that go through the process. Okay. That
sounds nice. According to you it is not prejudice, racism or hate (the giveaway
worn-out buzz words meant to intimidate) . I would love to believe that. (Would
you now?) Let me ask you a question then.
If the United States Government changed its laws and opened up the borders
would you still have this website? (It would be needed more than ever) I mean if that happened it would not be
ILLEGAL for Mexicans, Cubans or any other latinos (Sic)(Oops, you gave yourself away—why just
Latinos?) to enter the country. They would all be hear (Sic)
LEGALLY, Therefore, they would not be breaking any laws. Would you still have a
problem with them? (Of course.That
would only compound the problems created, exponentially) Would you still be
typing up your hate and intolerance? (There go those ugly buzz words again) I think you would.(You miss the basic premises involved and
the consequences of actions taken)
The way I see it is that most of the people who support your views are people
who want an ALL WHITE AMERICA. (“Hate speech against White Americans?)That
will never happen. (Sounds like a threat)It used to be okay to hate African-Americans right? (Whoever said
it was okay? There is such a thing as freedom of association, if that is what
you are attacking) The KKK was like
a Faternity (Sic). It was okay and accepted to hate as long as it was
against people of color, jews (Sic), homosexuals or anybody who was
different. (Okay with whom?) Well
the civil rights movement changed everything for all of those hateful (buzzword)
Americans who believed they were better than anyone who was darker or
different (more Critical Theory in action…painting with a wide brush to
include all). It became bad to hate Blacks, Gays, and Jews (success of
political correctness). But those feelings didn't just disappear (an
escape hatch). Maybe it did for some people because I (Sic) have met
a few Arkansas (Sic) who admit they used to be prejudice (Sic)
against minorities but as they got older they realized that it was all absurd
brainwashing administered by the people who loved them most: their parents,
uncles, aunts and grandparents (more politically correct successful attacks
on the family and individualism). These people thought they were teaching
their children the right way, THE AMERICAN WAY (Another slap in the face
Western Civilization & America in particular). As it turns out, they
were wrong. Now we see (superiority of the politically correct) it is
not right to hate because of race or anyother (Sic) diffences (Sic)
So all of that hate had to get redirected toward something. (why?) How
about the ILLEGALS? Yeah, they're an easy target. (How convenient ….another
ploy to paint the innocent as guilty and the guilty as innocent…clever)
You people might think you are doing right but i (sic) assure you that
you are not. (On what credible authority?Can you site facts or legitimate proof?) A fifteen year old boy or
girl reading your intolerant posts is not being helped. If anything you are
just holding them back. (we devoutly hope they are reading and learning to
think for themselves rather than being held back & dumbed down by the PC
system) They have to go to school with these illegals. (Now you stepped
into the poop of your true intentions…why do legal American children have to go
to school with illegals and who is paying for them?) I hope they don't get infected by their
laziness or join a gang. (Me too.) Your kid is flunking math, blame it
on the illegals because the classes are too full.(you are losing your
concentration….we have no children in school and if we did they would not be in
a government school.) How about spending some time with your children,
exposing them to new things and opening up their minds. (…a thinly veiled
reference to Egalitarianism and Collectivism designed to erase
individuality)Oh wait, that would be inconvienient (Sic) wouldn’t
it. I only hope our youth is smarter than the people running this horrible
site.(Translation: hopefully our
youth has been successfully brainwashed in Collectivist propaganda and knows
nothing about the Founding Principles of this country which the people who
write on this site defend at every opportunity)

A dictatorial governor,
135 “fertile minds” working overtime and 20% of Arkansas children under 5 at
risk of going hungry?
Headline:Fort Smith Times Record: “Children at risk of
hunger”, May 8, 2009.
I responded to an editorial “Capitol Buzz” appearing in the
May issue of Rural Arkansas by Carmie Henry, who is apparently Vice President
Governmental Affairs for Arkansas Electric Coops.Carmie’s comments centered around Gov. Mike
Beebe.Carmie wrote that one solon in
this year’s legislative session stated “that he didn’t know why legislators
needed to come to the Capitol at all”. “His suggestion was that Gov. Beebe
could just send his agenda to legislator’s homes and they could vote via the
Internet”.
Carmie spun that comment to be a salute to Beebe. I
disagree, a precise definition of a dictator.Carmie goes on to say Beebe is “scary smart” and that Beebe and Harriman
are masters at crashing legislation that the two do not want.
Silly me, for decades I have held the misguided belief that
the legislature and the Governor were co-equals.
Carmie responded to my written critique by emphasizing that
Beebe has spent his adult life as a public servant (ugh) earning influence
(yes), working his way up through the state senate, the A.G. and now as
governor….and he concluded and I paraphrase, Beebe deserves to be Governor.
Now to the headline:Children at Risk of Hunger.Is
this allegation true or is it to stir sympathetic emotions of Arkansans for
more government expansion?
If in fact the allegation is true as the article stated,
that means more than 17% of children in Arkansas could suffer cognitive &
developmental damage.
The study also shows that 11 states, Arkansas being one of the
11, more than 20% of children under 5 are at risk of going hungry.
I want to direct a question to the dictatorial governor and
the 135 “fertile minds”.If in fact the
hunger allegation is true, why was it not addressed in the just concluded
legislative session and furthermore; are there not causal aspects to such a
crisis and why were they not discussed? Governor and the “fertile minds”, has it occurred
to you folks that in all likelihood the illegal Mexican and OTM invasion has
precipitated these alleged needs, and is it your thought rather than addressing
the invasion you will continue to screw the producers by raising taxes and
ignoring the illegal Mexican invasion which ultimately brings the social and
rule of law tent down irreversibly? In this context I’m reminded of the
governor’s statement: “Legal is legal, illegal is illegal, and we’ve got to
find out what’s legal”.(Try 8 USC)
Beebe has bequeathed $857,000 to each senator and $25,000 to
each representative for vote getting purposes and influence peddling in the
legislature.These millions are to be
spent solely by the legislators and at their discretion. This represents $60
million of citizen taxpayer funds that translates into a second tier of vote buying
and influence peddling.
Governor and the “135 fertile minds”, would that $60 million
not feed the alleged hungry children and then some? By the way, how could this
be true in view of the multitudes of government welfare programs, i.e.
Medicaid, Arkids 1 & 2, Food Stamps, WIC, Public school “free” breakfasts
& lunches, backpacks with food to go, Food Banks, Shelters, ad infinitum?
Incidentally, about a Billion in federal stimulus money is being put into
Arkansas Medicaid.And Governor Beebe
wanted to tax milk!
Carmie said it best: “With 135 fertile minds working
overtime, Beebe’s historical perspective and diplomatic talents have served
Arkansas well”.Right out of the
Communist Manifesto…a failed society in the making.
Carmie’s piece appearing in the Rural Arkansas magazine
(May, 2009) was working hard to ensure the Arkansas Electric Coops got “their”
share of the government pie.
Re: Your piece “Legislative session ends and Beebe is
still in charge” in May, 2009, Rural Arkansas publication.
Carmie:May
6, 2009
This is the most “suck up” blather I have read in recent
times. No one could be this ignorant re: Beebe and his enablers and their
activities; therefore I must conclude you and your organization are big time beneficiaries
of Arkansas state government.
This administration is the most powerful, politically
corrupt organization in the history of our state, i.e. examine the players and
the control they exercise on Arkansas government—Walton’s, Tyson’s, Stephen’s,
Ark. Contractors, all forms of government schools, i.e. the Arkansas Friendship
Coalition.
I won’t provide extensive evidence, simply because I
believe it would be to no avail.
Your statement regarding a legislator’s utterance “His
suggestion that Gov. Mike Beebe could just send his agenda to legislators’
homes and they could vote via the Internet” was followed by your remark “I took
that comment to be a salute to Gov. Beebe”.
Carmie, that was no salute to Beebe, that was his perfect
description of a dictator, and mine. You have a unique sense
interpolation.I also loved your comedic
statement describing the “legislature as having 135 fertile minds working
overtime”.I can tell you firsthand
there are a number of buffoons in that august body.
Beebe refuses to address the illegal Mexican and OTM
invasion which is destroying middleclass Arkansans standard of living, job
opportunities, and the billions being spent on social services for the invaders.Additionally, they are further diluting our
culture and heritage, and the public school system where numerous illegals
attend has been irreversibly, negatively altered. Note Carmie, before you
parrot Beebe’s cowardly stance, i.e. “it’s the Feds job” to secure our borders
and deal with illegal immigration, look up 8 USC and what it demands.Beebe’s famous or maybe infamous statement
regarding the illegal invasion “Legal is legal, illegal is illegal, and we’ve got
to find out what’s legal”. Shades of his old buddy Nick Wilson.
Beebe refuses to allow the agents of the Ark. Contractor’s
Licensing Board to identify (only identify) those companies hiring large
numbers of Hispanics and contact appropriate authorities in order to determine
in fact if they are illegal.
Beebe and his administration are issuing drivers licenses
to illegals and spending huge sums by the Ark. State Police, Parks &
Tourism, Game & Fish, etc. advertising in Spanish to attract more Hispanics
(meaning more & bigger government in addition to cheap slave labor for
Tyson’s, Walton’s, etc.).
You note Beebe and Harriman are “masters”, you are so
right.Their backroom wheeling and
dealing is breathtaking and the fear/intimidation they hold over the
legislators is indeed corruption at its height. Harriman, former lobbyist for
the Poultry Federation, and Beebe are nothing more than servants for Corporate
Arkansas.What are the sources and total
remuneration for Lawyer Harriman?
Are you aware that the new tobacco money Beebe rammed
through goes directly to the Black Hole of General Revenue? He further, as a
payoff, gave each state senator $857,000 to spend as they wish and $25,000 to
each state rep.Carmie, that’s what’s
known as “buying votes”.$30 million
hard-earned taxpayer dollars to each house equals $60 million in real math. Why
will most legislators not reveal how they spent “their share” of the $60
million?What do they fear? Some got
millions—how did that occur?
As middleclass Arkansans struggle mightily economically, being
laid off, businesses closing, more illegal laborers coming to our state, Beebe
and his shills authorized between Dec. 12, 2008 and Jan. 22, 2009 the creation
of 2,044 new Arkansas state jobs.Is
that growing votes on the backs of the producers?Another example of criminal corruption and
protection rackets in government.
Carmie, are you aware that Arkansas is now the number 1
recipient of illegal aliens? The illegal invasion, in government circles, is
always talked about in terms of economics (cheap labor)—it is a rule of law
issue.
The House appropriated $1,033,258,630 all to be spent on
Arkansas government entities, all to be borne on the backs of private
enterprise and producers, of which I am one, and not one penny for legal gainfully
employed Arkansans.
I will not bore you with any more of Beebe’s corruption
and his minions in the state legislature, only to say your article was a slap
in the face of every non-governmental taxpaying citizen in Arkansas. For
