Why Do So Few People Support Conservative Beliefs And Philosophy?

March 1st, 2010 admin 6 comments

I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation–the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.
We conservatives are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles. And that’s the nature of our current debate over the nomination of Harriet Miers. Will she respect the Constitution? Will she be an originalist who will accept the limited role of the judiciary to interpret and uphold it, and leave the elected branches–we, the people–to set public policy? Given the extraordinary power the Supreme Court has seized from the representative parts of our government, this is no small matter. Roe v. Wade is a primary example of judicial activism. Regardless of one’s position on abortion, seven unelected and unaccountable justices simply did not have the constitutional authority to impose their pro-abortion views on the nation. The Constitution empowers the people, through their elected representatives in Congress or the state legislatures, to make this decision.
Abortion is only one of countless areas in which a mere nine lawyers in robes have imposed their personal policy preferences on the rest of us. The court has conferred due process rights on terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay and benefits on illegal immigrants. It has ruled that animated cyberspace child pornography is protected speech, but certain broadcast ads aired before elections are illegal; it has held that the Ten Commandments can’t be displayed in a public building, but they can be displayed outside a public building; and the court has invented rationales to skirt the Constitution, such as using foreign law to strike down juvenile death penalty statutes in over a dozen states.
For decades conservatives have considered judicial abuse a direct threat to our Constitution and our form of government. The framers didn’t create a judicial oligarchy. They created a representative republic. Our opposition to judicial activism runs deep. We’ve witnessed too many occasions where Republican presidents have nominated the wrong candidates to the court, and we want more assurances this time–some proof. The left, on the other hand, sees the courts as the only way to advance their big-government agenda. They can’t win national elections if they’re open about their agenda. So, they seek to impose their policies by judicial fiat. It’s time to call them on it. And that’s what many of us had hoped and expected when the president made his nomination.
Some liberal commentators mistakenly view the passionate debate among conservatives over the Miers nomination as a “crackup” on the right. They are giddy about “splits” in the conservative base of the GOP. They are predicting doom for the rest of the president’s term and gloom for Republican electoral chances in 2006. As usual, liberals don’t understand conservatives and never will.
The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no “crackup.” It’s a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides.
The real crackup has already occurred–on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.
The Democratic Party today i

I’m Planning On Moving To The Uk?

March 1st, 2010 admin 2 comments

I plan on finishing Cosmetology school and saving money (I’m in America, Las Vegas to be exact), and I plan on moving to London in my early twenties. But I’m not sure if my career choice will support me in the UK. In America, cosmetology is common and you can make a nice living off it, but I’m not sure about London. Is it the same over there? Thank you.

Is It Even Constitutional To Give Regulatory Powers To A Body Outside The United States?

G-20 Communique: Full Text Of The London Summithttp://www.forbes.com/2009/04/02/communi…
In particular we agree:
to establish a new Financial Stability Board (FSB) with a strengthened mandate, as a successor to the Financial Stability Forum (FSF), including all G20 countries, FSF members, Spain, and the European Commission;
• that the FSB should collaborate with the IMF to provide early warning of macroeconomic and financial risks and the actions needed to address them;
• to reshape our regulatory systems so that our authorities are able to identify and take account of macro-prudential risks;
• to extend regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments and markets. This will include, for the first time, systemically important hedge funds;
• to endorse and implement the FSF’s tough new principles on pay and compensation and to support sustainable compensation schemes and the corporate social responsibility of all firms;
• to take action, once recovery is assured, to improve the quality, quantity, and international consistency of capital in the banking system. In future, regulation must prevent excessive leverage and require buffers of resources to be built up in good times;
• to take action against non-cooperative jurisdictions, including tax havens. We stand ready to deploy sanctions to protect our public finances and financial systems. The era of banking secrecy is over. We note that the OECD has today published a list of countries assessed by the Global Forum against the international standard for exchange of tax information;
• to call on the accounting standard setters to work urgently with supervisors and regulators to improve standards on valuation and provisioning and achieve a single set of high-quality global accounting standards; and
• to extend regulatory oversight and registration to Credit Rating Agencies to ensure they meet the international code of good practice, particularly to prevent unacceptable conflicts of interest.

Will You Do Your Bit For Breasts?

February 28th, 2010 admin 6 comments

I’m power walking a half marathon on 19th May – it’s called the Moonwalk because it takes place overnight through the streets of London.
15,000 women (and some men), dressed in decorated bras, pound the streets to raise money for Breast Cancer research. A subject VERY close to my heart. Well, just to the left actually (I was diagnosed at age 31).
If you’d like to support me visit:
www.justgiving.com/mikalaturner.
If you’d lke to know more about the Moonwalk check out:
www.walkthewalk.org.
And don’t berate me for asking and don’t give me crap for using Yahoo answers to tout for sponsorship – I’m just doing my bit – remember, it will almost certainly affect someone you know at some time…

Moving From America To England.?

February 28th, 2010 admin 1 comment

I know this has no relevance to the category it is posted in, so don’t give me any crap about it please.
I know this is long, but any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Also, please NO negative comments. Many people dislike their country. If you think your country is so bad and would much rather live in America, well we are in the same boat. It has been my dream to live there, do not try to put it down.
My name is Heather and I am 18 years old. I have a boyfriend who is soon to turn 20. We have been together for a while now, and plan on doing so forever, so no comments about our young age please. It has been both of our dreams to move to Europe for a long time, and our place of choice is England. So please do not suggest other places in Europe, we are firm with our choice in England. You may suggest some cities though. We are leaning towards London, but are open to other suggestions.
We have been reading up on all the requirements etc in order to do this, however it is a bit confusing and never have we gotten a clear answer. I know this is a long, difficult process, and we are looking to actually MOVE in about two years. We have plenty of time to plan for everything. I guess I am just searching for everything we need to do. Neither one of us have a degree in anything, however by the time we move I will have an AA degree. I know it is better to have some sort of skill or something, but please do not tell me to go get a degree in something or the other. We are planning to move under the circumstances I have stated. This is what I need advise for. My boyfriend has read somewhere that we may not need a visa, because we would be visitors from the US. I’m not sure if it is possible to move there with permanent residency under our circumstances. We have read somewhere that you can vist up to six months with a visa, extend the visa, and then eventually apply for permanent residency. We also read something about gaining residence as a commonwealth citizen, which would allow us to move to any commonwealth country if we desired. If any prices are known, or rough estimates, I would like those. I know this will be expensive.
Any other help or advise would be fantastic.
Thank you very very much.
I also forgot to add that we would eventually (within no more than a month or so from moving there) want to get jobs in order to support ourselves. What needs to be done in order to do this?

Big Battles In The Open Are A Thing Of The Past. World War 3 Will Be Fought For City Blocks,…?

February 28th, 2010 admin 4 comments

…not even whole streets(?)http://mondediplo.com/2009/04/11streetfi…
A briefing paper by the Strategic Research Foundation (2) notes: “During World War Two whole cities like London and Dresden were bombed; in Vietnam it was city neighbourhoods; today in Iraq or the Palestinian territories attacks focus on a single building, even a window on a certain floor of that building” (3).
In contrast to large theatres of war fought across national frontiers or whole regions, urban space is a multi-dimensional labyrinth: underground cellars, shafts, sewers, car parks, metros, subterranean tracks; streets, squares, dead-ends; and buildings of all shapes and sizes (historic centres, business complexes, skyscrapers). Such confusion, particularly when – as often these days – there is some support from residents, hands the advantage to adversaries technically less strong but able to use cities as a protective cloak.
