Nothing could better prove the New World Order/Internationalist/World Federation conspiracies than the attempts by the left to minimalize the value of being an United States Citizen.
Illegal immigrants have been given nearly full citizenship rights - without being Americanized or Naturalized.
Islamic enemy combatants have also been afforded Constitutional rights - even while actively terrorizing the United States.

What's with Dual and Tri citizenship?

Below is the highly ignored "Oath Of Citizenship" from the United States Citizenship And Immigration Service.
The Oath of Citizenship
"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 noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. In acknowledgement whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
In some cases, INS allows the oath to be taken without the clauses:
"...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. . . "
Notice that new immigrants are permitted to be future draft dodgers.

The same federal agency, which seems to act with no consistency or obedience to its own United States Code, requires that those given citizenship rights are of "good moral character." Now listen up all you Islamic enemy combatants and other illegals from south of the border, you must maintain your good moral character in order to be treated as a virtual U.S. citizen.

From Guide To Becoming A U.S. Citizen at http://uscis.gov/graphics/citizenship/becoming.htm:
"4. Good Moral Character:To be eligible for naturalization, you must be a person of good moral character. A person is not considered to be of "good moral character" if they commit certain crimes during the 5 years before they apply for naturalization or if they lie during their naturalization interview.If you commit some specific crimes, you can never become a U.S. citizen and will probably be removed from the country. These crimes are called "bars" to naturalization. Crimes called "aggravated felonies" (if committed on or after November 29, 1990), including: murder, rape, sexual abuse of a child, violent assault, treason, and trafficking in drugs, firearms, or people are some examples of permanent bars to naturalization. In most cases, immigrants who were exempted or discharged from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces because they were immigrants and immigrants who deserted from the U.S. Armed Forces are also permanently barred from U.S. citizenship."

[I also would think that if you are in this country illegally, you are not of Good Moral Character]

If Intelligent Design cannot be taught because it is non scientific and only based on personal experience why should Evolution (Cosmic or Biologic) be rammed down the young skulls of mush when ET itself is based on the personal experiences of so many scientists? ET people have no transitional forms, experiments, or observations proving their 18 billion years of accidental history is any more than a very subjectively devised theory. Many of these scientists, and Judge Jones, are good Lutherans on Sunday, but by Monday - they must deny Almighty God as nonaccidental Creator. In this way they can appear before mere men claiming to be part of the great atheist intelligentsia, which promises social and collegiate tenure. And, I think we all know what universities are about nowadays - extreme, God forsaken socialism.

Those believers who try to compromise by thinking that God, via a Big Bang, initiated Cosmic Evolution, which leads to Micro Evolution, have been swept away by the ET atheist jargon.
Science cannot prove there is a God, and science cannot prove there is no God. Much of science is based on man's senses. If most men sense that there is a Divine Being, who are scientists to say that there is no provable evidence when we have such overwhelming testimony of God's existence?
Judge Jones would take circumstantial evidence in so many other cases, why not this one?
Scientists who do not sense a God may be simply retarded for not using all of their God given senses. Or, they simply want to keep their jobs which demand that they be atheists. Psalm 10 - The heavens are telling the glory of God; the firmament proclaims God's handiwork.

The ET nitpickers will ask, "Which God?" I say, "Pick One - preferably before you die: at least you are admitting to the existence of a deity, Who should not be denounced by your science." You will have to face Him some day, and it is far better to be embarrassed before men than Almighty God. Who in their right mind would say, "I cannot admit to the existence of god because my science will not permit it?" At least Evolutionist textbooks should allow their authors to add disclaimers such as "I personally believe in the existence of Intelligent Design, yet I cannot prove it." Who wants an atheist teaching anything? Would he or she not be biased in how or what they teach - as atheists?
One good example is "America's Radio Doctor" - atheist Dean Edell, who most of the time is prescribing promiscuity to heal what ails you. Can't trust him.

Since Federal Judge Jones of Pennsylvania has distinguished himself as and intellectual because he has decided to be a Lutheran who believes there is no scientific proof of God, a new public school alternative must be afforded to parents who do not want any hint of the existence of God taught to their children. Private Atheist Schools are the answer.

A very small percentage of people believe that there is no God - as "proven" by cosmic and biologic evolution - and they should be allowed to pay for such private schools just as Christian and Jewish believers have been told that in order to be taught a divine morality they must be sent to religious schools - all the while they are taxed for anti-god public schools.

So many evolutionists will not recant of their non scientific heresies because there are a lot of jobs riding on the perpetuation of the RD myth - Random Design theory. University professors and journalists, just to name a few, who slam those "stupid creationists" for their belief that none of what exists today could be accidental, will be seen as a Galileo who once had it right (heliocentricity:creationism), but then buckled under to the status quo.

The anti science loopholes in evolution will be studied now more than ever before. Science loves trends and fashions. It cannot exist on the old. Since Cosmic and Darwinian evolution has pretty much bored most people to death, it is now time for capricious scientists to refresh their image. Believe in God you infidels, for God's sake.

Haynes Johnson, the New World Order, Internationalist, Pulitzer Prize Winning, Washington Post columnist, PBS Anchor told his After Words host that 'McCarthy made too much of those 300 Communists discovered in FDR's administration and Hollywood.'

After Haynes was reminded of the recent revelations from the Venona (Red) Files - which confirmed Senator McCarthy's suspicions of deep Soviet Communist espionage - Haynes replied, "Soviets were developing the Atom Bomb anyway.'

Hollywood and the MSM have been extra hot on McCarthy, lately, as you would not want Communism to get a bad rap, would you?

Clooney Movie, Good Night And Good Luck exemplifies this.

"The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press, 1999) provides a tally of the "politically correct" mass murders, the deaths from firing squads, man-made famines, gassing, hanging, concentration camps: China, 65 million deaths; USSR, 20 million; Vietnam, North Korea and Cambodia, 5 million; Africa, 1.7 million; Afghanistan, 1.5 million; Eastern Europe, 1 million; Latin America, 150,000 deaths." From Mises.Org

It may have all started with Mary Jo in July of 1969 - and ended with Chappaquiddick, and I think we all know about that. Or, did it start with Kennedy's father, Joe, who had trouble understanding good old American family values?

Early Kennedy From FrontPage.Com
"As his eight-term record shows, Kennedy's definition of "honest" has not changed since his failed attempt to have his smarter friend take his Spanish final at Harvard. His father was a notorious mob associate, Nazi sympathizer and predatory womanizer who tyrannically micro-managed the lives of his children. His mother spent much of her life either at Mass or obsessively pinning notes to everything in sight. And Ted? The runt of the litter. A puckish dumpling of a boy who was never expected to make good, until fate left him the last son standing. Then, with a slip of a wheel greased by booze, all presidential hopes and expectations were washed away in the waters of Chappaquiddick. And the dark days weren't over by a long shot."

Teddy Learned To Cut And Run From Brother JFK
Since I had about eleven years of Catholic education, I had to be one of the original Kennedy worshippers back in 1960. It was unofficially madated by the Church. The disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion orchestrated and then abandoned by JFK was overshadowed by the Cuban Missile Crisis. I now wonder if Mr. Camelot Kennedy would have eventually backed down from the Soviets - in retrospect.

From Tripod.Com "Meanwhile, Washington dithered. The CIA handlers had the Provisional Government ready to fly in, but the situation was still too "touch-and-go" to risk it. The CIA planners argued with the Joint Chiefs and the President. Kennedy was afraid of how the Soviets might react. He felt that the CIA had forced him into a no-win situation. The recriminations and finger-pointing began as the Brigade members paid dearly for this indecision.

The aftermath was a political nightmare for Kennedy, and a field day for Castro. Eventually the US paid $53 million in ransom for the Brigade survivors. Of the total, 150 men had made it out, 1189 were ransomed, and 114 were KIA. Communists losses were exaggerated by both Brigade survivors and the CIA analysts and an accurate figure will never be know. Some estimates ran to over 1100, while the Cuban government admits to 154 KIA. The tourist museum at Playa Giron features captured weapons, disturbing photographs, and a Sea Fury. In Florida, anti-Castro sentiment still fuels Miami politics."

Teddy's first attempt at desertion may have been while he was actively undermining the Vietnam War as early as 1966 - a war which was authorized by SEATO.
From The BBC 1969: "Millions march in US Vietnam Moratorium "I do believe this nation in danger of committing itself to goals and personalities that guarantee the war's continuance." Senator Edward Kennedy." God forbid the nation should commit itself to such goals like winning a war. . .

"In June 1973, he voted to cut off all funding to the South Vietnamese government, practically ensuring a communist takeover by the North Vietnamese, the ramifications of which were the killing fields of Cambodia and a bruised and shaken USA. Kennedy's answer then is not too different from his answer today, which is to abandon our mission in Iraq and send our troops home, denying our soldiers the chance to see those objectives to fruition." RedState.Org

"19 Jun 73 The U.S. Congress passes the Case-Church Amendment which forbids any further U.S. military involvement in Southeast Asia, effective August 15, 1973. The veto-proof vote is 278-124 in the House and 64-26 in the Senate. The Amendment paves the way for North Vietnam to wage yet another invasion of the South, this time without fear of U.S. bombing. I remember that because that was the exact date I arrived in Saigon on my new assignment as a civilian contractor to work at Bien Hoa AFB. This awful and cowardly move guaranteed that the US would not respond to protect the South from attacks from the Communist North." DailyPundit.Com

Would Ted Kennedy Help Save South America From Communism? Are You Kidding?
American Thinker.Com
"In 1985, Senator Kerry was one of the members of Congress who returned from Nicaragua with that worthless signed piece of paper. He then supported the third Boland Amendment. Apparently, not only did John Kerry [and Ted Kennedy] not want to fight Communism "all over the world," he didn't even want to fight communism in our own backyard."

"In 1985, when the Reagan administration requested aid for the Contras, Kennedy couldn't resist evoking the "Gulf of Tonkin" resolution. The Panama invasion didn't last long enough to be compared to Vietnam. Instead, the removal of Manuel Noriega represented "long-term damage" to our foreign policy, to our ability to work with other nations in Latin America, and our goal of achieving lasting democracy in the region. Kennedy predicted that George Bush Sr.'s aggressive actions made the Sandinistas shoe-ins for the Nicaraguan election in February of 1990. He was dead wrong. As soon as the Nicaraguan people had a chance, they booted Fidel wannabe Daniel Ortega from power by a 14-point majority." FrontPageMag.Com

"In congressional debate on aid to the Nicaraguan "contras," Sens. Ted Kennedy and Tom Harkin seized on testimony by Gen. Paul Gorman, then the U.S. commander with responsibility for South America. The rebels, he had testified, would be incapable of overthrowing the ruling Sandinistas "in the foreseeable future."

Ted Kennedy And The First Gulf War - From FrontPageMag.Com
"Kennedy went beyond Vietnam in the debate before the first Gulf War. According to the senator, the casualties in Southeast Asia would seem slight when compared with Desert Storm. And the liars in the Bush administration knew it beforehand. "The 45,000 body bags the Pentagon has sent to the region are all the evidence we need of the high price in lives and blood we will have to pay," said Kennedy. And when the war ended in a matter of days, as predicted, he never apologized to the President for his paranoid insinuations and over-the-top fear-mongering."

"Quagmire" and "Vietnam."

Feeling A Little Sympathy For Joan
Teddy divorced his wife Joan in 1981, had the marriage annulled [The Catholic Church relegates the marriage as never occurring] in 1983, so that he could remarry as a Catholic in 1992. The second marriage was even "blessed" by the Catholic Church in 1995. "A Catholic annulment, or a declaration of nullity or invalidity, is a statement of fact, by the Catholic Church, that a valid marriage (as defined by the Catholic Church) never existed." Too bad for the children Patrick, Edward, and Kara -their parents were never married according to RC. Legally, no? Spiritually, no? I may have to google "bastard."

Adam Clymer On Writing About Kennedy
"I am kind of surprised that the Kennedy-hating press hasn't picked upon the explanation for his annulment that's in the book. A source close to Joan Kennedy told me he never really intended to be faithful in the first place when he took his marriage vows. I was hoping that would get modest circulation from The National Enquirer at least as open scandals. But they're in the book because they affect his political life, they affect his ability to do things, and they give you some measure of who he is."

Ted Kennedy's ex-wife found on the street The wife that Sen. Ted Kennedy kicked to the curb was found, er.. kicked to the curb again... WizBangBlog.Com

BOSTON (AP) - Joan Kennedy, the former wife of Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, is in the hospital recuperating from a concussion and a broken shoulder after a passer-by found her lying in a street, according to her son.

"Were indebted to some anonymous pedestrian who found her and picked her up and got her help," Patrick Kennedy told the Boston Herald for its Wednesday editions.

Details of exactly what happened and how she ended up in the street were unclear. There was no police report on the incident. Joan Kennedy, who divides her time between Cape Cod and a Boston condominium, has struggled with alcoholism.

On other political fronts, Kennedy reaffirmed his position that with abortion, "we are dealing with a personal and private reproductive decision." He has said that he supported civil unions and equal rights for gays [Death To Marriage].

Finally, Ted has been one of the hardest chargers for abortion - leaving over 1,000,000 babies dead per year.

I had a dream . . . where the most vicious and seditious demoralizers of the American troops in Iraq were temporarily impounded and, maybe even sent off to prison ships (like those garbage barges off the shore of New York city) for the duration of the war. They, of course, would be accommodated with better creature comforts than were afforded by Abraham Lincoln to the incorrigible Democrats that he arrested during the Civil War - 13,000 Copperhead Democrats. Yes, floating club Gitmos with Par 2 Putt Putt mini golf courses, even. No one would miss Al Franken or Michael Moore set out to sea for a while. The entire New York Times staff could be relocated to one of these "ships." I am sure the barge stench would not bother them. Maureen Dowd could be the cabin boy. Dreams can come true. . . they did for old Abe Lincoln . . . It can be done with more conservative activist courts.

As a Vietnam veteran, it pains me every day to hear how the Dems devise every conceivable scheme to subvert the war effort while undermining the morale of military troops. The lies, obfuscations, and exaggerations never seem to end. Lately, anti war lib dems who voted for the war in Iraq are now saying that they had "different prewar intelligence" than President Bush.

The life and limb of American soldiers do not matter to these dems even as recent polls have suggested: Most democrats are deliberately attempting to undermine the war as we have all known.

At what point does the libs' freedom of speech so tread on the safety of our armed forces and jeopardize the secure future of the United States that a we (1)Suspend Habeas Corpus (2) Restrict Freedom Of The Press, and (3)Arrest the most seditious Copperhead Democrats and detain them on rusty prison ships until the war is over? Abraham Lincoln might say the time is now.

From World Press Freedom Committee
Stifling The Anti-Union Northern Press

Horace Greeley's New York Tribune continued to lead the anti-slavery movement
among the mainstream papers. Greeley had quit the Whig party over the slavery issue and helped nominate Lincoln for the presidency. For 20 years, the Tribune's editorial page had examined social as well as political issues in calm, responsible fashion. He worried that industrialization and unrestricted capitalism were producing social hardships. He provided editorial space for differing reforms, including support for movement to the 'free lands' of the West. Greeley's reprinting of his best editorial matter for a weekly mail report sold 200,000 copies regularly. It was known as the 'bible of the Midwest.' Greeley had published his own anti-slavery 'Prayer of Twenty Millions' on August 20, 1862.

In New York, only five of the 17 daily newspapers were full supporters of Lincoln.
Greeley routinely backed even the president's hard decisions such as the draft call of 1863.

The war, for the most part, was fully reported. But some military censorship was
inevitable. Mutual press-government understanding was needed. At first, in August 1861,in the interest of public security, the new telegraph and railway post were brought under maritime regulation. The faster movement of news by telegraph now made it possible to disseminate information that could be useful immediately to Southern troops.

On February 25, 1862, closer control was initiated. Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of
war, ordered all field reporters to submit their stories to provost marshals for approval before transmission to their newspapers. Several grand juries asked courts to punish newspapers for 'encouraging the rebels.' The postmaster excluded five New York newspapers from the mails as 'dangerous for their disloyalty.'

General William T. Sherman, who had generated controversies with correspondents,
tightened the noose further in 1864. All correspondents must be accredited journalists, he ordered, and acceptable to his field commanders. This became an established wartime feature of American press-government relationships-until the Vietnam war, when censorship was largely absent.

Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus was employed only twice. When challenged,
Lincoln said he had presidential authority to exercise 'the law of war' to quell 'disloyal activities.' His Emancipation Declaration was issued without legislative approval. The Supreme Court later repudiated the presidential claim of vast emergency power in wartime.

The generals took most of the action against the press. The Chicago Times was suspended by General Ambrose Burnside for criticizing the president after he issued the Emancipation Proclamation. The Times had been often warned that its pro-slavery stance would inspire public unrest during wartime. Lincoln indicated his view of press freedom by rescinding the military order after three days. The New-York World was similarly charged with pro-slavery instigation. In May 1864 the World and the Journal of Commerce carried a forged presidential proclamation claiming a draft of another 400,000 men was coming. General John A. Dix suppressed both papers for two days.

A notable development in the coverage of the war in the South was the binding together of 45 southern newspapers in their own wire service similar to the Associated Press in the North (from which the Southern papers had withdrawn). The Press Association of the Southern States of America-'PA' rather than AP-vowed to offer no news of value to the enemy, and to refrain from editorializing (that is, criticizing the war's management) in the news reports. Press coverage by PA moved over southern military telegraph lines at cut rates.

On the West Coast, the Civil War created increasing demand for news from the
Eastern battlefields. In 1860, delivery of news was speeded by inauguration of the Pony Express. Riders carried thin tissues of mail and news some 1,900 miles from St. Louis to a place near Sacramento. Delivery time was reduced from 23 days by steamer to eight days by pony express. In 1861, the telegraph was extended to California putting it within instant contact with the East.

The AP credo, moreover, was based on 'objectivity'-the absence of bias or the writer's interpretation inserted in news accounts.

What Lincoln Did With Peace Democrats From Civil-Liberties.Com

As the Civil War started, in the very beginning of Lincoln's presidential term, a group of 'Peace Democrats' proposed a peaceful resolution to the developing Civil War by offering a truce with the South, and forming a constitutional convention to amend the U.S. Constitution to protect States' rights. The proposal was ignored by the Unionists of the North and not taken seriously by the South. However, the Peace Democrats, also called copperheads by their enemies, publicly criticized Lincoln's belief that violating the U.S. Constitution was required to save it as a whole. With Congress not in session until July, Lincoln assumed all powers not delegated in the Constitution, including the power to suspend habeas corpus. In 1861, Lincoln had already suspended civil law in territories where resistance to the North's military power would be dangerous. In 1862, when copperhead democrats began criticizing Lincoln's violation of the Constitution, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus throughout the nation and had many copperhead democrats arrested under military authority because he felt that the State Courts in the north west would not convict war protesters such as the copperheads. He proclaimed that all persons who discouraged enlistments or engaged in disloyal practices would come under Martial Law.

Among the 13,000 people arrested under martial law was a Maryland Secessionist, John Merryman. Immediately, Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus commanding the military to bring Merryman before him. The military refused to follow the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte MERRYMAN, then ruled the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional because the writ could not be suspended without an Act of Congress. President Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling.

[Ed. Democrat administrations would not be trusted with such Draconian measures. After the war is won, everything may return to normal]
