The chemical factory that is the body requires a precise equilibrium of 16 basic chemicals, and correct acid-alkaline balance plays a vital role this process. Foods, after digestion and absorption, leave either an acid or alkaline ash in the body depending on their composition. Normal body chemistry should be approximately 20 per cent acid and 80 per cent alkaline, thus the food intake should reflect this balance.
I sat in your office one day a couple of years ago while you were in Congress and talked with you about a plan for a Conservative Believers Victory.
I know there are hundreds of Conservative Believer issues and I support practically all of them. That is not the issue.
The issue I want to lay before you is a Conservative Believer issue that I propose, that none of the others support, and yet it is so important it trumps all of them combined together, twice over. (more…)
“Jefferson lives,” were said to be the last words of John Adams, and they were spoken in reference to Thomas Jefferson, who had, in fact, died hours earlier. Those words were as inaccurate about Jefferson’s death as they often were about Jefferson’s life. Though Adams understood the evil in Jefferson to a degree, it was impossible for him to completely know it in his lifetime.
It is well known that the two never got along, though Adams from time to time somewhat deceived himself into thinking that they did, particularly early on in the Founding process, and later on when both were out of office in retirement. The only accurate measure of their relationship was during the major and significant middle parts of their lives, and then they were most properly bitter political and personal enemies.
As with so many great men, their personal lives were not as orderly and in control as was their public appearance. In Adams’ case one son, Charles, drinks himself to death by 30, while a daughter dies during a botched mastectomy. His other son does become President, but his presidency was an unsatisfactory one, where John Quincy Adams, basically, helped create the Civil War, not a noble thing in itself. By being a Northern hot-head on the side of abolition, he provided himself as a perfect foil for the hot-heads in the South who were on the side of slavery. Between the efforts of both lunatic camps they mortally wounded, and nearly killed, the Republic, as they did succeed magnificently in killing off the flower of both peoples, North and South in a blood letting from which we have never really recovered as a nation.
These two men presided over the Athens and Sparta feud of their day, with New England being AthensSouth Sparta, in an apt comparison. This classic divide destroyed Greek civilization, just as the North-South divide destroyed American civilization. Yet, we cannot cry over spilt milk forever, so we must move on with what we have left, ever mindful that all is in God’s hands for the final outcome. and the
The poison of the South was “Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion” as the slogan of the day well stated. It was ever the licentious Democrat against Republican Protestant Puritanism. It was the Puritans against the Church of England and Catholicism all over again. In both cases, sniffy Anglican-Episcopalians, worked quite well with overbearing and aggrieved Catholics in attempting to provide a comeuppance to the stiff necked Puritans of New England as they carried on the quarrel of 1650 back in England onward toward a near exact replay in 1850 almost exactly 200 years apart.
Jefferson was King Charles all over again with his continental pretensions, and Adams was Cromwell redux. Washington was the only hope of unity, and he must die before Jefferson could come to power. Hamilton feuded with Adams in ways that opened that door to Jefferson and started America on the road to ruining the Republic that Washington had designed. The willfulness of these men is remarkable. Though earlier Adams worked as a conciliator of North with South, he could not, and would not, be the conciliator within his own party. The party of Washington was now without Washington, and Adams’ quarrel with Hamilton undid all best hopes and delivered the Republic into the hands of its worst enemy, Jefferson.
Jerusalem is the strategic high ground in the middle east. You can, or could, see the sun reflecting off of the Giza Pyramid in Egypt when it was sheathed in its original polished white marble. If there is a true center of the earth it is Jerusalem.
Imagine yourself at age 15,
And you the son of a President
Of the United States of America.
Would you have written this hymn of hate,
About the country your father served in war,
And the country he died for in Dallas?
Does this say what a Democrat is?
No wonder God took his life
Before he could further ruin this country.
This poem of his was written
To be sung to the tune of
“America the Beautiful”
“Oh lovely land of racial lies,
Of crooked ways to fame,
From Kent State to Sharon Tate
We’re proud to bear thy name.
America, America, God spared his grace on thee.
From atom bombs to nuclear arms be proud of U.S.A.
And though you’re bad, we love you mad
You taught us right and wrong
Just look at Vietnam and the trouble that we cause
America, America God looks at us from high
To guide us by our forefathers cry,
Just like Jerry Ford.”
Behold, what manner of love
The Father hath bestowed upon us,
That we should be called the sons of God:
Therefore, the world knoweth us not,
Because it knew Him not. 1 (more…)
The idea that the problem of Judicial Activism grows out of Judicial Deference is an interesting juxtaposition, but it doesn’t deal with the actual issue of the malfunctioning judiciary taken as a whole in the context of society, and the history of society.
A lot of bad things on all sides result from the internecine destructive tug of war between our two diametrically different parties.
To start with, the Federalists inordinately strengthened the judiciary, fearing the radical Jacobinism of Jefferson’s Party. This produced, in Marbury v Madison, a permanent deference of government towards the judiciary that legally allows the activism of “legislating” from the bench which so many decry. This power-play meddling by the Courts is generally thought not to be in the interest of either the Republic, property, or individual rights.
Thus it is more a matter of mutual “deference” than judicial deference. The Courts can not, and should not, be used to save us from bad government, and government should not be needed to save us from a bad judiciary.
If the judiciary were back in its proper place, restricted to just deciding case law instead of ruling on the constitutionality of the laws that are passed by a democratically elected Congress, and then trying to excessively set “precedents” designed to bind other judges and elected officials, then we would not have these problems growing out of mutual deference being so pervasive.
The problem is the judiciary first overstepping its boundaries, via Marbury v Madison, and then not being reined in by Congress since that time. Thus Congress, in effect, has been improperly “deferring” to the Courts all this time. In response, the judiciary, in effect, has been giving back some of their ill-gotten gains by in turn “deferring” to government. Each party if out of order and the public suffers.
Thus the initial corruption of the Constitutional framework to protect against early Jeffersonian French Socialism has finally led to this orgy of mutual “deference” which has not been good for the Republic, the People, or their Property.
The only fix is to go back where we took the wrong turn and straighten it out, by getting rid of Marbury, as it has corrupted the actual and real independence of the judiciary, not enhanced it. Of course, inordinate “power corrupts…” etc.
