There are arguments concerning Islam, Muslims, in America who are part of or in association to subversive elements against the United States of America, whether directly or indirectly, with intent to change the American system of government, its laws and the American society. However, there are also Muslims in the United States who truly want to assimilate and be part of the American society as an American citizen and patriot.

In our endeavor to prevent what is happening in America what is happening in the United Kingdom, specifically England, we must support the government agencies whose mission is to seek, prosecute, incarcerate or deport those who seek to undermine the American form of government, its constitutional laws and general conflagration that demonstrates their negative and evil intentions to spread the flames of extremism and disunity across our fruited plains we hold dear.

The argument and the tool which the subversive element provides, stemming from organizations like CAIR is that the American Constitution and, specifically, the Bill of Rights states clearly the freedom of religion – and this is true. Organizations and individuals whose intent is ulterior are even backed by the misguided organization known as ACLU. However, those that use the freedom of religion as a tool for their underground movement to literally destroy America and those who service these individuals and organized elements as “useful idiots” – apparently do not realize what was written by one of those who helped establish America as a nation and the foundation of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights:

It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping GOD in the manner most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.
John Adams [Thoughts on Government, 1776]

Legislative Alert - Say "NO" to Tax Increase and New Taxation

Recently our local school system asked for a raise in taxes, which would increase our real estate taxes, already increased by Governor Doyle via the largest tax increase in the history of Wisconsin. After a referendum vote, the request for more taxes won at about 75%. School systems need to operate and they are affected by recession just like everyone else. The problem is, of course, no one is getting a cost-of-living raise to meet the growing stress on our budgets.

Politicians have been targeting oil companies for the blame of price increase in fuel based on the price increase of a barrel of crude oil. Congressional leadership has been spouting that they are doing something about it. They claim they are coming up with a solution to help lower energy costs.

Their solution?

Raise and/or create a new tax.
