These concepts appealed to my inner compass. If there was any one thing I learned as a college student is that if you are serious, you can learn how to learn. You see, it is really up to us, the voters, to make sure the country is run right by who we put into these offices. Sometimes the liberals would have the upper hand; other times the conservatives would prevail. Today, the politics has changed more and more toward socialistic ideas, which I believe is dangerous four our country. When you listen to a democrat or a republican talk try to decipher how they view the Constitution—whether they take the strict or loose interpretation view will tell a lot about where they fit in the political spectrum—and where your beliefs are—.
Now and then, I may take on the role of a political isolationist in that, even though I will still think conservatively, I may not believe any of the two major parties are following what I think their philosophies dictates.

There are some democrats whom I admire —there is a former governor of Alaska of whom, if he were to run in an election today, I would probably attempt to vote back into office. It would really depend on what kind of republican who ran against him. I supported his efforts to cut down the bureaucracy, trim the budget, and make government more responsible to the people. If a moderate republican were to run against a conservative democrat, I may be inclined to vote for the latter. It would depend a lot on the character of that individual.
Ronald Reagan, like I, was a democrat first. He broke away from that party because the people affiliated with the party became more party orientated than people orientated. This party is supposed to be committed to staying close to the working class. Instead I think it began to respond more and more to the social quandaries. In time it advocated more and more social programs and to pay for these services the party had to advocate for more and more taxes.
So Reagan broke away and became one of the most dedicated and renowned republicans in American history. Now let me conclude with these notes: I love the U. Constitution which formed our government because it is the most correct governmental document that has ever been introduced throughout the recorded history of the human race; it is the most inspired instrument about how governments should be conducted and the concepts are based upon the natural, God-given rights that every government should guarantee to all mankind: And so I use the Constitutional Eagle when I evaluate the issues and where candidates stand on the issues.
They tell me a lot. Native Americans lived and abided by the Natural Law and lost their way when they were forced on reservations, which took away their ability to live their traditional lifestyle; even though they are making strides to live the American way in this day and age—living the Natural Law is pretty much a secret to them anymore and strange to the Americas.
The following essay can be found on Amazon. When I was a very young man I subscribed to a book club that enabled me to obtain the writings and thoughts of great men from the past. One of these men was Marcus Tullius Cicero B. He believed that there were ideologies that all mankind must abide by. They are called the Natural Laws. One of my favorite modern day political thinkers, and writer, is the late W. It would be well to recognize that the Natural Law have been with us since the recorded history of mankind.
Many great nations that have come and gone rose to their grandeur by abiding by these sound principles and fell when they drifted from them. The pilgrims realized that the Native Americans lived within the laws of nature when they came to our lands and spent their first winter with them.

The Natives assisted the new-comers with schemes on how to survive their first winter and were introduced to living within the circle of the Natural Law. Compare, if you will, the Ten Commandments and the statutes found in our own government. It is true that Obama received his degree from Harvard University in constitutional law, but I have been appalled about how he is ignoring our own U. The Montana woman should have challenged him to read it most of all.
It is difficult for me to accept any proof that he supports the very instrument that allowed him to become our President. I am disturbed at the lack of interest that people in government have in the U. Constitution of which principles in it are based on Natural Law and the Laws of God. I hear the common person on the street say that we need to go back to the Constitution. I also have heard people say that the Constitution needs to be changed to fit the changing times. And yet there are some who believe that the Constitution is out dated and should be replaced.
This is pretty much in affect because many of our politicians are completely ignoring it. But how do we change our course of thinking to restoring these principles so we do not have to go the ways of those nations that have benefited from their governments founded on those laws and eventually forsook them? Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution says that every state shall be guaranteed a republican form of government.
This means that our governments will be representative in nature and limited to what it can do. This, likewise, means that good people elect virtuous people to represent their best interests in government. They are our servants and work for us. That is, of course, until it comes time for reelections. In connection to this, the 10th Amendment to the Constitution addresses the fact that all powers come from the people through the states and are then delegated to the federal government.
Town hall meetings are important and our legislatures should listen to the people when they voice their opinion. Tea party movements are legitimate as well, and should be applauded instead of down-played. Governments should follow this irreplaceable law by guaranteeing us our right to say or write what we want without being persecuted by government, factions of parties, or special interest groups.
Our governments should be guaranteed the safety of our lives so that we can go to work, to school, for a walk or a run in the park, without being shot at, abused, kidnapped or held hostage. The pursuit of happiness is a natural desire of mankind and when mentioned in the Declaration it permits us to do whatever we want to do to make us happy so long as we do not interfere with the right of another person from doing the same thing. The Declaration also declares that when governments no longer honor these things, then it is up to us—the American people—to either alter or abolish that government and start a new one based on those same principles—that is the protections of our lives, our liberties, and our pursuits of happiness.
These principles are grounded from the Natural Laws; when we stray from those values bad things happen, like the bye-gone days of great nations that have crumbled into oblivion. This concept in the declaration reminds us that this country was founded on faith in the Creator. I believe that we have an obligation and duty to educate ourselves on these issues. Just as important we should make sure that correct American history is taught in the schools. Will Durant, in his history book, Our Oriental Heritage admonish us to leave a legacy for the future: Even though I am Native American and acknowledge the fact that my people were ill-treated by the American people—and I also acknowledge the fact that we survived many challenges over the past two hundred years from the federal government, I have to say that I am a proud American because I appreciate the fact that the Founding Fathers of this great nation copied the structure of the Six Confederate Tribes of Iroquois nation as a guide to forming our federal system of government.
For instance, in the Iroquois, everything began from tribal councils in the villages. Another thing the Founders copied from the Native Americans was to determine how going to war was determined. If a tribe was considering war with another tribe the issue was given to the women who served on the tribal council. The reason was that they were more level headed when they thought about sending their husbands, sons and young men into the battlefield.
Whatever offense was committed had to be very serious before they approved. If they agreed then the issue would be turned over to their war chief, who would then lead his warriors to battle; if the issue was not serious enough then it was turned over to their peace chief.

The war chief is the same as our Secretary of Defense and the peace chief is similar to the Secretary of State in our federal system. These principles mentioned above come from the Natural Law, especially the principle that women who were on tribal councils were given the power to determine if a tribe should war or not to war. We have a lot of people who are supporting presidential aspirants because they stand for a certain cause, like the environment, climate change, oil development, the economy, and a host of other things. These are special interest groups and I think are one of the many reasons why our country is in decline.
Not much is said about the Constitution by the candidates who are wanting to be president. Our Constitution was founded upon the Natural Law. Nor does any of them mention the Natural Law. I would like to hear what everyone one of them think about this. Of course the American voters are mad at the federal government and Trump has taken advantage of this and smartly used their anger to rally around him. But the American voters are not familiar with how the Constitution works and much less aware of the Natural Law that is mentioned in the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
I am afraid that if Trump wins the republican nomination that it will be dangerous for America.
Polls before Super Tuesday showed that he cannot win the election against Clinton or Sanders. I am appalled at how Trump is essentially doing the same thing that Barack Obama did when he won the last two elections—his dishonestly and trash talk.
Trump—said he has a bible but I wonder if he ever reads it? He miss-quoted a scripture recently and got away with it. He claims he is a good Christian but the language he uses to describe his opponents and accuses them of being liars is not the way that Christ would address these same issues and got away with it—to me he is not Christian.
He even trashed the Pope and got away with it. Even though he is a Presbyterian does not give him the right to downplay other religions.
Samenvatting
America was founded upon Christian values and I am appalled at the way that Americas is ignoring this fact. He also supports Planned Parenthood. I believe that as president he will appoint a liberal Supreme Court Justice. He thinks president Obama should make an appointment as soon as possible—this definitely is something a liberal president would do even though he said that Congress will, indeed, stall and delay the appointment.
It has been revealed that the past eighty years the selection of a Supreme Court Justice was always left to the next administration during an election year. Trump says he is a common sense conservative. What is a common sense conservative? I would like him to explain what a common sense conservative is. I have never heard of this kind of conservative before and, like President Bush, who claimed he was a compassionate conservative, I am puzzled with this new type of republicanism.
We no longer have a republican party like the one that President Lincoln and Regan championed. Regan used principles of the Natural Law to make America strong and respected among the nations of the world. It is a well-known fact that Trump gave money to both parties, which he admits he will use against them if he ever should need their support.
There is a difference in how the business world and the political arena operates.
There is time for both but not at the same time. When I served for twelve years on the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, I learned an important principle about the difference between a government entity and the business world. A business man is entirely focused on money, while government is designed to provide a service. As I sat in council meetings I had to learn to separate the two and focus on the programs we administer of tax payer monies as a serious investment.
The soul of the Democratic Party these days are predominantly socialistic in the form of Democratic socialism which is led by Bernie Sanders. The people who promoted this type of socialism learned that they could only achieve this by appealing to individual economic groups—like the small business man is convinced that practicing a little bit of socialism will take the risk out of his investments, or the industrial worker is told that most of their profits will go to the worker, or that the manufacturer is duped into the idea that socialism will arrange the economy so that competition is limited—and people with these ideas appeal to the government to make this happen; Sanders said he will definitely do this; he has a lot college age groups following him because he has promised them a free college education, free housing and free everything.
Having the government give everything out free is contrary to Natural Law. The Founders warned us about this. The Founding Fathers recognized the principles of socialism as a deadly threat to our unalienable right to life, liberty and property and pursuit of happiness. He went on to say that these ideas are arbitrary despotic, and in this government they just created was unconstitutional.
Sanders will use these ideas when he achieves power and control when our country is in a crisis or emergency, and especially as an excuse to greatly increase our taxes. Frederic Bastiat was a French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before — and immediately following — the Revolution of February This was the period when France was rapidly turning to complete socialism. As a Deputy to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Bastiat was studying and explaining each socialist fallacy as it appeared.
And he explained how socialism must inevitably degenerate into communism. But most of his countrymen chose to ignore his logic. The Law is here presented again because the same situation exists in America today as in the France of The same socialist-communist ideas and plans that were then adopted in France are now sweeping America. The explanations and arguments then advanced against socialism by Mr. Bastiat are — word for word — equally valid today.
His ideas deserve a serious hearing. Be aware America—socialism, as attractive as it may seem as a utopian society, is really communism in disguise. What has been going on in American cities these days? Just about everything that is happening in America today. Hillary Clinton embraces progressivism. The progressive movement began as a social crusade in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and gradually grew into a political movement.
While the term progressive represent a range of assorted political pressure groups progressives believed that the problems society faces today—such as poverty, violence, greed, racism, class warfare could best be addressed by providing a good education, a safe environment, and an efficient workplace. While these are worthy programs progressives were primarily college educated and believed that government could be a tool for change toward socialism.
Progressive stances have continually evolved over the past hundred years. Here the progressive movement was moving us further and further away from the Natural Law and more and more toward socialism. The Passing of Supreme Court Judge Scalia is going to be a challenge for President Obama and the republicans to vie for a vote on a name that the President said he was going to use his constitutional authority to appoint someone. Of course, it is true, that the Constitution says that the President shall put before Congress a name to replace a Justice and the Congress shall confirm.
The pundits are discussing whether President Obama should proceed during the eleven months of his term; some people believe that the next president should do this. It has been over the past 80 years that when a Justice dies or leaves office during an election year that the next president would be favored to make an appointment. The fear is that President Obama will try to take care of this before he leaves office and that he will recommend a liberal, which for this day and age will turn the balance of power in the Supreme Court to the liberal side.
The Founders of this country set up this branch of government with the idea that the Supreme Court Justices should contain men and women whose purpose was to interpret the constitution. James Madison believed that the President should govern from the middle; no matter what political philosophy he may embrace. Madison felt strongly that when the president moved the politics too far on either side of the political spectrum that that man who is president is a criminal and has no right to the office. If Obama honored that principle of appointing someone who would interpret the constitution, it matters not if the appointee is a conservative or a liberal; he or she would also honor the fact that they should interpret the constitution to what the Founders intended.
So now that we have been educated on Donald Trump and the parties that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton belongs to, if Americans are smart, neither of these candidates should have the right to have the honor of holding the highest office in our America, or in the world for that matter. So the nomination, if Americans are smart, should choose one of the others. In these stories, and images, you will pick up a little about the geography of the region as well as the history, culture and the values of the Tlingit peoples in the village of Yakutat, Alaska.
One of the themes in these stories, Kadashan is able to tell how his people can live in two worlds, but still remain Tlingit. This was a time in his life when he was trying to find his identityshould he take the time discover his ancestral roots, or give up his identity in favor of a western education? It is in the fall and the weather is changing from bad to worse. The resiliency of these youngsters is due to the way they had been raised by their parents and grandparent, something that is missing in America today.
The challenges the characters face in these stories are everyday situations one would find anywhere in the world: Young love, health concerns, financial security, human longings, grief and personal conflicts are subjects that the author tries to share with the world about a small Alaskan settlement.
These stories, and art work, Kadashan describes how western influence and traditional beliefs and values are incorporated into their modern lives. Toon meer Toon minder. Reviews Schrijf een review. In winkelwagen Op verlanglijstje.
