Hello warriors. Time is short around here these days. I have been very
busy and it looks like it may go that way for a while so posts may be
sparse. But I promise you'll hear from me regularly and no more 3 year
disappearances...

Just got back from a couple of speaking engagements in Missouri at
University of Missouri at St. Louis and Washington University at St.
Louis. Great people, great time. A lot of kids that are thinking. That
is what is important and it is impressive and inspiring. I happen to
think that as long as they are thinking about the concerns and
life-importances outside the bubble of their campus experiences, even
those with with somewhat inconsistent views at this time of their
life, will, in time, piece it all together, Conservatively.

There are many libertarians, calling themselves hyphenated
conservatives, i.e., conservative-Libertarians. I think that is a
misnomer and told them so. And I think this grows out of their refusal
to draw hard, distinct, clear moral lines. The kind of moral lines
they, themselves, have to draw (and do draw) day-in and day-out to
achieve effectively. That is what morality is and what it is, it is.
Morality is simply choosing what is right, true and good over what is
wrong, false and evil in your life, to determine the actions you will
take to set the direction of the course of your life -- AND WHEN YOU
JUDGE OTHERS... We judge, again, day-in and day-out about all things.
It's hypocrisy (one many won't admit they hold) to withhold judgment
when accessing the thoughts others hold and the erred acts they commit
as direct result of their erred thinking. It's ironic, because most of
those who want to allow others moral flexibility hold themselves to a
stern moral standard. What is forgotten is that all the conceptual
knowledge they have about political and government issues, issues they
want to succeed in the real world, depend first on that people are
thinking and acting correctly, morally. All the varieties of
incompetence disliked in our society are a direct result of the moral
decay. Period. All societal repairs begin there, they must.

One speech was my Socialism Sucks Speech...did you know:

there are 342 different economic development programs in the federal
budget, along with 130 programs serving the disabled, 130 programs for
at-risk youth, 90 early childhood development programs, 75 programs
funding international education, cultural and trade exchanges, 50
homeless assistance programs, 40 separate employment and training
programs, 23 agencies providing aid to the former Soviet republics, 19
programs fighting substance abuse, 12 food safety agencies, 11
principal statistics agencies, four overlapping land management
agencies; and that The Department of Agriculture seems to have lost
track of $5 billion in receipts and expenditures; and that Of 26
departments and major government agencies, 21 received the lowest
possible rating for their financial management; and that if each
agency and department had cut its spending by just 1% in 1980, that
taxpayers would have saved $190 billion through 2002 -- or about half
of our current deficit.

I do what I can to influence...and I will keep at it. 

Arnold for governor.

I've followed Arnold's career ever since I was kid, going all the way
back to my budding weightraining efforts in the ‘70's. I was a
scrawny, insecure kid who wanted to be strong; not simply strength in
muscle, but strength in confidence, decision making, and
self-discipline. I wanted to muscle control over the direction of my
life. A healthy young male believes, first, that this can happen
through bigger body muscles, an Adonis physique. The girls, the jobs,
the prestige -- it all follows. This idea takes hold the first time
you see a Charles Atlas ad. So it was when I was a kid growing up in a
rural area of Indiana.

Arnold was the champion of the Universe. Literally. He was Mr.
Universe and Mr. Olympia. Arnold's face and physique were on
practically every page of "Muscle and Power Builder" (today's "Muscle
and Fitness"). Hanging on the beach or hawking exercise equipment and
bodybuilding supplements, Arnold was Joe Weider's main muscle-pitch
man.

And like many young scrawny, insecure males seeking themselves, I was
following Arnold's (and his sidekick, Franco Columbo) workout lead.
(One of the best beginner books for bodybuilding to learn good, strong
basics was Franco Columbo's book "Winning Bodybuilding" I looked
around and it is no longer in print but you can find used copies at
internet sites -- great book for you young guys who write asking for
work out advice.)

I became an even bigger fan of Arnold's career beyond his own
competitive bodybuilding days. I never missed a movie, and I never
failed to defend the career-trade he was making, lightening his body
weight for heavyweight bank and success in Hollywood accounts; a trade
no-life-otherwise-can't-even-pay-my-rent muscleheads never could
understand. While it bothered them that the Arnold on screen was
letting his physique get small, it never bothered them that they had
to beg for protein drinks or for more time to come up with the $20
bucks to pay their gym dues. The only success they were willing to
concede was his competitive bodybuilding success. None of his
successful growth as businessman and an actor making successful films
even registered (literally and figuratively). Some of these guys are
still running around in the same gyms now 20 years later. Broke, all
the timeframes to fulfill their own dreams outlived, their futures
busted.

Six or seven years ago, I quit following Arnold's career. I quit
patronizing his movies. I quit reading articles about him, and just
didn't care to mind what was going on with him. The short answer is,
Arnold quit growing up. He quit working at bettering himself in ways
that would be inspiring to me; true manly and mentoring ways. Ways
that our culture needs and ways the he can afford to project with the
kind of power and image capital he has amassed in Hollywood over the
years. Yes, I know he does a lot of good things. But he could do
better and make better choices as a grown adult man influencing young
minds. In his movies and his interviews there is always a crude,
prepubescent sexual innuendo. Here's a guy who is over 50 and has this
incredible power yet when he acts like a 20 year old, in comment or
action, it just seems like you want to say "Hey, Arnold, grow up." I
think he does it as way of hanging onto an image of himself as a
younger man. Many guys his age do the very same thing. There are
recent accounts (and pictures) where he has in appropriately fondled
female interviewers while touring to promo Terminator 3. My conclusion
is that he behaves this way because it is part of his real
personality. It's uncouth and uncool. It reveals a juvenile mentality.

In addition, there are lowbrow behaviors, presentations and language
in his films that he, with the power he has to cull creative talents,
doesn't have to stoop to. The best films ever made never resorted to
‘defining deviancy down' nor catered to the basest or dumbest
qualities there are about us as human beings. Arnold has built up the
kind of power to demand otherwise. When he doesn't he takes the easy,
lazy, cheap way out (just to bank the money). I think in many ways
that has been the case over the last 10-12 years where our culture has
deteriorated. No one wants to do the harder work to create what is
unique or one of a kind. Those in charge of which creative direction
taken are catering to the lowest and basest about us. And, I think the
entertainment industry is, right now, reaping the patheticness it has
sown. Unfortunately, the effect is not only the industry's
bottom-line. Millions of young minds have been deviantly adulterated.

Arnold needs to act his age and do so at all times as if all eyes of
the world are watching. He's grown up, he needs to think and act like
it. Both on the street and on the silver screen.

That said, there are a couple things all the pundits have blown out of
proportion. The government of this country was never intended to be
run by professional politicians. Our Republic form of government was
at one time clearly taught to, studied and understood by all American
citizens. What seems like only confusion to many of us, was at one
time common sense -- ‘of, by and for the people.' Professional
politicians have proven that they are the worst at representing us.
They are making a mockery out of our government and following their
lead is ruining our country. So much so has it, it will never again be
what it was intended to be, and, very likely, one day will not even be
recognizable nor be called The United States of America at all.

Arnold not being a politician is a plus.

Another thing pundits forget is that Arnold has throughout his life
shown that he has incredible self-determination and discipline. That
right there will beat the intellectuality of a thousand Ph.D.'s. It is
just that simple and history holds hundreds of thousands and hundreds
of thousands of stories to support the irrefutable truth of that
statement.

His social agenda sucks. (It's the Kennedy worn off on him. You know
they say after so many years together a couple begin to look like one
another; it's true here -- Arnold has her
socialistic/marxist/totalitaristic/communistic views, and Maria has
Arnold's face).

Different than the ‘tough love' Bustamante proposes to administer by
raising taxes, the tough love needs to be that people are held
accountable to think and provide for themselves even if they have to
suffer through it. Everybody has their tough luck and tough times
stories. But we can't let our sympathies turn into sacrifices that no
one, no group, no government has the wealth to pay. I can't spend more
than I have and many times that knowledge has come from a lesson
hard-learned. I didn't enjoy getting it, but I learned from it's
experience. There are just too many people who want lifestyles and
possessions they cannot afford to have. The social agenda in this
country has swollen into something not about giving people what they
truly and genuinely need. It is about giving people what they
irrationally want and what they subjectively want and what they
whiningly want until it has become grotesquely about what they believe
they deserve at someone's else expense. The buck truly does need to
stop. On a dime it does. And it needs to the moment we begin to ‘feel'
sorry for others without first considering objectively how they ended
up in the mess they find themselves in. Too many times it is their own
fault, created by weaknesses that have nothing to do with the lack of
money at all. If those are not repaired, good money is simply being
thrown after bad.

Arnold will surprise people if he wins. It is stunning how so many
people believe others can only do one thing that they have been
successful at. I get this all the time: Once a pro-wrestler, always a
pro-wrestler. People just breeze right over the fact that any human
being can do anything he sets his mind to for that one reason and that
one reason alone -- the human being has a mind. Conservatives
especially need to dump the prejudice; holding it cancels out one's
Conservatism as far as I'm concerned. Here we have Conservatism,
ostensibly, striving to have people realize they can and must take
care of themselves, support their own lives, yet, absent any
forethought, they dismiss without legitimate reason the possibility
that a person, willing, can remake them themselves. And to top off the
farcicality, they hold this prejudice more unreasonably about those
who have already proven they have the will to succeed.

I would vote for McClintock.

There was a lot of wondering being shuffled around the media about
whether or not terrorism was the cause of the blackout a few weeks ago
-- the damn media has become nothing but a terrorist organization
itself! All they do is promote pessimism and perpetuate negativity and
terror about life. Like there is only fear and we must deal with it in
fear. That it is only fear our minds can comprehend and without it we
would not know what to do with our lives. I just couldn't live with
myself getting paid to constantly hammer fear and despair and
desolation into the minds of my fellow citizens. Just what do you tell
your pompous self to make it right in your own mind that what you are
doing contributes nothing positive to the world you live in? Think
about it....


The September 18 edition of USA today, SECTION A, Page 9, has story
titled "Complaints delay new citizenship oath." Its frightening and
serious. A swearing of new citizens was postponed because some real
Americans realized the oath of citizenship was being revised ad hoc at
the ceremony. For those who don't know the original oath here it is:

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce
and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince,
potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore
been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all
enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United
States when required by law; that I will perform non-combatant service
in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by law; that I
will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when
required by law; and that I take this obligation freely without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion; So help me God."

The revised one they were attempting to get away with had removed
these parts from the vow: "renounce and abjure all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty," and
"bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law."

This is appalling. The Socialist States of America encroaches closer
and closer every day.

Private Clark entering race...according to a poll, he leads among the
Democraps. The chilling thing is that 45% of those voting say they've
never heard of him before now! The brilliance of this illustration is
blinding. Liberals (read Lesions, always) want to be lead around by
the nose and do not care, nor care to think, about anything
consequential to their life. They want to be on the dole and they are
doing all that is empty-minded to create such a State (capital S
intentional) of living. It is truly time to start telling the truth:
some of us that look like human beings simply are not. There can be no
doubt any longer. Each day I am more convinced. Government parasites
who are subsidized to study the monkey's similarities to humans have
used the experimentation as an empathetic ploy driving humans to
become more like monkeys. Political poll after political poll prove
this out.

Rep Racist Charles Rangel NY, an eerie, ugly, greasy black man filled
with hatred who abuses Sean Hannity like he's a hated poor white
child, claims he has never met Clark, but that didn't stop him from
blazoning (about Clark), 'He Can Save This G-ddam Nation From
Self-Destruction'...

I say, 'No!!, what can save us, Chucky-Racist, is a
Conservative/Republican conviction that there is very, very serious
ideological war for the IDEA OF THIS COUNTRY going on and that we need
to beat, as in kick intellectual ass, you rancid liberals into a
yesterday not even on record. A yesterday not even on historical
record. Kick your liberal asses clear back to a day before there was
even a sun and a moon... you piece of non-human traitorous waste...'

Clark says he'd be Republican if only Karl Rove had returned his
calls... boo-hoo, boo-hoo, it's blasphemous for him to be called a
General...my 7 month old daughter is less emotionally swayed and has
stronger principles.

September 17th was Constitution Day, don't expect Liberals to use any
of their printed pulp to let you know. I am a subscriber to
"Federalist.com" and I recommend all patriots subscribe and
contribute. Here is the text of their Constitution Day Issue:

THE FOUNDATION

"We The People of the United states, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this, Constitution for the United States of America."
--Preamble to the U.S. Constitution 


______----********O********----______
FROM OUR CONSTITUTION'S AUTHOR

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal
government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State
governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised
principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and
foreign commerce. ... The powers reserved to the several States will
extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs,
concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the
internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State." --James
Madison in Federalist Paper No. 45 (See Article I, Section 8, of the
Constitution, and its Bill of Rights, particularly the Tenth
Amendment.)

FOUNDERS ON THE CONSTITUTION

"The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered ...
according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain
understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its
adoption...." --Thomas Jefferson

"The Constitution which at any time exists, 'till changed by an
explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory
upon all." --George Washington

"...I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are
such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there
is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if
well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well
administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as
other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so
corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any
other. I doubt, too, whether any other Convention we can obtain may be
able to make a better Constitution." --Benjamin Franklin

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground
that 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the
states or to the people.' To take a single step beyond the boundaries
thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take
possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of
any definition." --Thomas Jefferson

"Nothing has yet been offered to invalidate the doctrine that the
meaning of the Constitution may as well be ascertained by the
Legislative as by the Judicial authority." --James Madison

"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to
obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most
virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next
place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them
virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust." --Alexander
Hamilton & James Madison

"...[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure
the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally
corrupt." --Samuel Adams

"The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of
the people at large or considered as individuals.... [I]t establishes
some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently,
no majority has a right to deprive them of." --Albert Gallatin

"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in
man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the
Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson

"A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge
among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming
freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor,
sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That
elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common
people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it
makes them sober, industrious, and frugal." --John Adams

"There is a higher law than the Constitution." --William H. Seward 


______----********O********----______
REFLECTIONS ON THE CONSTITUTION

"Let this day always be a reminder to our nation, to the world, why we
fight in freedom's cause and why we must fight and win this global war
on terror." --Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

"The Constitution was never meant to prevent people from praying; its
declared purpose was to protect their freedom to pray." --Ronald
Reagan

"America's Founders endowed our Republic with sound principles and a
framework for governing that is unmatched in the history of mankind.
The prosperity and freedom of America can only be made secure if they
are guided by a return to these basic principles as our country enters
the 21st Century." --The Claremont Institute

"Thus the U.S. Constitution has a long history behind it -- it is part
of our American tradition, and we should be proud of it. But we should
not respect the Constitution simply because it is tradition. There
are, after all, bad traditions. Rather, as American citizens we have a
duty to understand the Constitution as fully as possible -- which
means understanding the principles upon which it was built. ... The
Constitution was based on the idea of an unchanging human nature. That
idea is best captured in the Declaration of Independence, and its
statement that all human beings possess equal rights by nature. The
idea of equal natural rights is not only the ground for government by
consent, but also sets the limit for what that government may
rightfully do. If rights precede the formation of government, the
primary goal of government is to secure those rights. It cannot grant
them, nor can it violate them. To achieve this, government must
protect individuals equally under the law." --Thomas L. Krannawitter

"'Why We Fight' is a question that a free people are compelled to
answer not merely by invoking the imperatives of self-preservation but
also by reminding themselves of their blessings and, correspondingly,
their duties. ... Chief among our blessings is the United States
Constitution. ... Human dignity; the rule of law; the equal rights of
men and women; limited government; separation of powers; the consent
of the governed; due process of law; separation of church and state;
freedom of speech and religion -- these are the glories of our
constitutional order. To the tyrants who struck New York and
Washington, however, these are a syllabus of errors." --Charles R.
Kesler

THE GIPPER

"I had a copy of the Soviet Constitution and I read it with great
interest. And I saw all kinds of terms in there that sound just
exactly like our own: 'Freedom of assembly' and 'freedom of speech'
and so forth. Of course, they don't allow them to have those things,
but they're in there in the constitution. But I began to wonder about
the other constitutions -- everyone has one -- and our own, and why so
much emphasis on ours. And then I found out, and the answer was very
simple -- that's why you don't notice it at first. But it is so great
that it tells the entire difference. All those other constitutions are
documents that say, 'We, the government, allow the people the
following rights,' and our Constitution says 'We the People, allow the
government the following privileges and rights.' We give our
permission to government to do the things that it does. And that's the
whole story of the difference--why we're unique in the world and why
no matter what our troubles may be, we're going to overcome." --Ronald
Reagan


----********O********----______
FROM THE HIGH COURT

As The Left Reads... "The genius of the Constitution rests not in any
static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but
in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current
problems and current needs." --Former Supreme Court Justice William J.
Brennan, Jr. ++ "We look to the history of the time of framing and to
intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must
be, what do the words of the text mean in our time." --William J.
Brennan, Jr.

"We current justices read the Constitution in the only way that we
can: as 20th-century Americans." --William J. Brennan, Jr.

As The Right Reads... "Our Constitution was not written in the sands
to be washed away by each wave of new judges blown in by each
successive political wind." --Hugo L. Black

"The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the
government off the backs of the people." --William O. Douglas

"There is nothing new in the realization that the Constitution
sometimes insulates the criminality of a few in order to protect the
privacy of us all." --Antonin Scalia

"The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution
itself and not what we have said about it." --Felix Frankfurter


About two rumors going around...

One...THQ game...NO agreement to be in it.

Two...WM XX...what is it you don't understand about what I have said
over the years? McMahon doesn't have the courage, integrity or
substance to meet my price.

Always Believe, Warrior
