I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.
Mike Rowse
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Do we need to declare independence from our current government?
One of the undeniable truths of life in my world is that you should watch what people do. It will tell you much more about their real intentions than if you listen to their words. This applies especially to politicians and members of the corporate propaganda media. That doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't listen to their words. Because sometimes they'll tell you exactly what they are going to do.
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani told people what he was going to do at a recent appearance in which he talked about immigration policy in the United States. Mayor Mamdani called for America to align with Islamic law and the Prophet Mohammed in order to support mass immigration especially from the Middle East. The mayor said specifically that Islam is a religion built upon a narrative of migration. During his remarks he cited the Hijrah, the Prophet Mohammed's migration from Mecca to Medina in 622-CE. He said it was a foundational example of how societies should treat strangers and refugees.
Colorado has been the center of many of the disagreements when it comes to the LGBQT community. Of course, it's the place where Christian bakers and photographers got into legal trouble for refusing to serve members of that community based upon their religious beliefs. Generally,y everything the Colorado State government or county, and local governments do is to carve out special privileges for members of the community. Which also means, members of the Christian community are told their rights are secondary. And don't get me started on respecting parents' rights.
The Denver school board recently terminated a professor at the Northeast Early College. Advanced high school students planning on going to college attended Northeast to earn college credits. Jennifer Honka was a professor teaching a class entitled, French language and culture. Jennifer made no bones about her sexual orientation. This involved membership in several organizations, advocacy for LGBTQ rights, and made its way into the classroom. It was not her promotion of her sexuality that got her in trouble however.
Wonder what he is finding amazing? Guess we will listen and find out!
Why would you flood a peaceful successful society with violent criminals, rapists, sex traffickers, or people who call openly for the destruction of our society unless your goal was to also destroy that society.
Have you noticed that climate change is no longer a primary topic. It was a crisis until the government decided it needed data centers all over the country.
The other day I was in Albuquerque, and I drove past six liquor stores, 7 fast food restaurants, 12 marijuana dispensaries, and six smoke shops on the way to pick up my illegal raw milk. Which is illegal because the government says it cares about my health.
Guess we will have to listen to find out what those decisions are and were.
