Soup Goes All Crizzy



Smaller Government Is More Efficient Government
            At a time when America’s debt is not just higher than its been but clearly is long long past acceptable http://blog.heritage.org/2012/10/31/whats-scary-federal-spending-per-household/  “”Americans across the country have cause for alarm, because the federal government spent a spine-chilling $29,691 per household in 2012” . 16+ trillion of debt! California may have once led the nation and even the world but the end is near for the tax-borrow-spend cycle of endless tyranny imposed on peaceful citizens. It must be. We must bring this to an end, and replace the old corrupt system with one that is consistent with our Founding Principles. California must lead the way.
Religious liberty is constantly infringed upon by an unfriendly, anti-christian Administration Obama even says America is not a Christian Nation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmC3IevZiik we are at the merciless hand of Communist Blasphemer…just ask rick warren http://www.christianpost.com/news/rick-warren-says-president-obama-infringed-on-religious-liberties-85797/ ….he gave the invocation at the inauguration for Obama’s first term but no longer supports the President. America is more gay friendly and murders more babies than ever because of Barack Obama. In a world where Less Americans  than ever believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and terrorist Atheists http://www.opposingviews.com/i/religion/virginia-public-offical-calls-atheists-terrorists are becoming the majority http://www.pewforum.org/unaffiliated/nones-on-the-rise.aspx -.              
 Something must be done. California must lead.  With Socialists in our state and in our country routinely elected, only by separating and creating a place for conservatives to migrate seamlessly - http://www.westernjournalism.com/liberals-and-marxists-and-socialists-oh-my/   will progress towards the reclamation of America and her Christian foundation be made. It’s time to admit-America has a spending problem!   Government doesn’t need more of your money! And think the Keynsian Fed Government is going to be there in a few years to help? HA!
Jeff stone in his interview with…““The fact of the matter is that the State of California is too big to govern,” the commentary read. “The political priorities of Southern California and Northern California are completely different … The formation of a new state is necessary if drastic measures aren’t implemented to curtail out-of-control spending, and the oppressive overburdening of California’s citizens and businesses.””
cali must and can be saved-cite jeff stone in interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUw9VrIbtWA AND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOhAM2OzDAk
Thesis: Splitting CA Will Be A Victory for America's Founding Principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
 We will hear from so-and-so about their research into CA judiciary and justice system and why splitting CA would be a good idea. Here are a few of my thoughts: the principle of smaller government leads to more efficient government. Fiscal Responsibility:
If we privatize—
 By which I mean, outsource traditional governmental functions, (“ http://www.pfaw.org/rww-in-focus/predatory-privatization-exploiting-financial-hardship-enriching-1-percent-undermining-d   WHAT IS PRIVATIZATION? The term privatization covers an array of actions, some described with other terms such as “outsourcing” or “public-private partnerships.” They can include: 
• outsourcing jobs performed by public employees, such as parks maintenance, food service, to for-profit companies
• giving private, profit-making companies managerial or operational control over public services such as the distribution of health and welfare benefits or diverting Medicare and Social Security resources to Wall Street
• diverting tax dollars from public education to for-profit school corporations, including “virtual” schools” as well as religious schools, plus reducing tax revenue by giving corporations a tax deduction for contributing to scholarship funds for private schools
• leasing or selling public assets such as highways, parks and airports – or income from those assets – to for-profit companies or groups of investors”) --
the prison system and outlaw unions we will save massive amounts of money, and if we  use prison labor to draw in Job Creators  http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/01/26/939001/-Slave-Labor-and-PIECP-All-Authorized-and-run-by-the-U-S-Department-of-Justice-and-taking-your-jobs “of "skilled workers", "profitability", "ninety-four to ninety-six percent productivity every day", "willing and experienced workforce", "available and skilled labor" of the prison industries participating in PIECP.” Also “the laws of PIECP allow for "lawful" deductions to be taken from inmate wages for four (4) purposes.  One of those deductions is for room and board.  The purpose of this is to have inmates pay for some of the costs of their incarceration, and by doing that, repay some of the  taxpayer costs of their confinement.” Yeah!
Strengthen the rule of law and our trust in America’s institutions!
We can work with the American Legislative exchange Council, who shares our goal of “bringing in corporations to administer:

• Foster care, adoption services and child support payment processing.
• School support services such as cafeteria meals, custodial staff and transportation.
• Highway systems, with toll roads presented as a shining example.
• Surveilling and detaining convicted criminals.
• Ensuring the quality of wastewater treatment, drinking water, and solid waste services and facilities.” (PFAW)
 Finally, bring back debtors prisons so large Corporations will have a financial incentive to come south! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203710704577052373900992432.html?mod=wsj_share_tweet  “More than one-third of U.S. states allow borrowers who can't or won't pay to be jailed.” There will be no BUMS in Southern California.
 In the education arena, a member of our group will discuss their research. Here are some of my thoughts: Constitutionally Limited Government –Personal Responsibility
No financial aid that does not come from private scholarships for higher ed. You want to go to school, ask your parents for the moola. http://www.nationaljournal.com/2012-presidential-campaign/romney-suggests-young-adults-get-loans-from-their-parents-20120427   No pensions or HC benefits for public sector—NONE---that drain on taxpayer, that’s maybe why we have less voluntary charity
Even the Russians acknowledge the failure of our schools and why http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/19-11-2012/122849-obama_soviet_mistake-0/
“Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents.”
But things don’t have to be that way, and they wont in Southern California.
 Edwatch Website
EdWatch (http://www.edwatch.org/)BELIEVES
1. Parents are the primary authority in the education and rearing of children.
2. Accessible, nonpublic education without government interference is essential to a healthy education system.
3. Good education is most importantly about acquiring knowledge and understanding, not about inculcating government-approved values and beliefs.
4. Good education in the United States promotes the American Creed (Principles of Liberty) as defined by the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution, including national sovereignty, natural law, self-evident truth, equality, God-given inalienable rights of all people, the right to life, liberty and private property, the consent of the governed, and the primary purpose of government being the protection of citizen's inalienable rights. The American Creed creates "e pluribus unum" (out of many, one), i.e. people from many nations gathered under one American Creed.
5. Good education accurately teaches the political heritage of western civilization, including the Judeo-Christian worldview, as America's historical foundation.
6. Good education teaches a thorough understanding of the world in which we live, but also reinforces the sovereignty of the United States and American exceptionalism.
7. Good education understands that truth exists, and that it can be discovered, understood, and taught.
8. The constitutional authority over education is reserved to the individual states and citizens, not to the federal government. The constitutional limit on federal powers is an essential part of the separation of powers that protects the freedom of the American people.
9. Early childhood care from birth to five is best determined by the child's parents. Establishing ideological and political child-outcomes and universal preschool is a dangerous expansion of government power over families.
10. Universal or routine psychological screening of students and young children in schools and childcare settings is a usurpation of the authority of parents and a dangerous violation of personal privacy.
  Another awful example is this headline from Breitbart ,
Washington Proposes $1 Trillion Bailout for Delinquent Student Loans
www.breitbart.com “America’s now-nationalized student loan industry just reached a value of $1 trillion, according to Citigroup, growing at a 20 percent-per-year pace. Since President Obama nationalized the industry (a tacked-on provision of the Obamacare bill), tuition has gone up 25 percent.”
We can’t let this happen anymore. Southern California would nullify any such usurpation of personal sovereignty. http://www.libertyclassroom.com/nullification/ “What is it?
State nullification is the idea that the states can and must refuse to enforce unconstitutional federal laws.
Says Who?
Says Thomas Jefferson, among other distinguished Americans. His draft of the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 first introduced the word “nullification” into American political life, and follow-up resolutions in 1799 employed Jefferson’s formulation that “nullification…is the rightful remedy” when the federal government reaches beyond its constitutional powers. In the Virginia Resolutions of 1798, James Madison said the states were “duty bound to resist” when the federal government violated the Constitution.”
Here is the thing: what a mess education is in Cali. Split up Cali and reduce the duplicate spending that ruins your pocketbook and end the indoctrination into government ideology that is Public school. Southern California will follow Michigan’s lead http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/28/1165527/-MICHIGAN-HOLY-F-CKING-SH-T-Spread-the-word-on-this-NOW 
""""House Bill 6004 and Senate Bill 1358: Would expand a separate and statewide school district (the EAA) overseen by a governor-appointed chancellor and functioning outside the authority of the State Board of Education or state school superintendent. These schools are exempt from the same laws and quality measures of community-governed public schools. The EAA can seize unused school buildings (built and financed by local taxpayers) and force sale or lease to charter, non-public or EAA schools.
House Bill 5923: Creates several new forms of charter and online schools with no limit on the number. Bundled with HB 6004/SB1358, many of these schools could be created by the EAA. Public schools are not allowed to create these new schools unless they charter them. Selective enrollment/dis-enrollment policies will likely lead to greater segregation in our public schools. This bill creates new schools without changing the overall funding available, further diluting resources for community-governed public schools.
Senate Bill 620: Known as the ‘Parent Trigger’ bill, this would allow the lowest achieving 5% of schools to be converted to a charter school while allowing parents or teachers to petition for the desired reform model…"""
Our focus will be on homeschool and school choice/vouchers/charter schools.
 Some basic numbers that should infuriate Patriots. http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/states/  http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/pdf/Revised/BudgetSummary/HigherEducation.pdf “Student Characteristics:
Number enrolled: 6,289,578 Number of school districts: 956* Number of schools: 10340 Number of charter schools: 948 ONLY 948?!?!
Per-pupil expenditures: $9,471 Pupil/teacher ratio: 24.1 Number of FTE teachers: 260,806”
All these Damn Government Schools…Whatever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?!?!
“Evangelical and fundamentalist children are indoctrinated into what is sometimes referred to as “biblical capitalism,” [i] [16] the teaching that an unregulated market system is mandated by God and dictated in the Bible. Textbooks that preach biblical capitalism blend free-market and religious fundamentalism and promote political activism.” In Southern California, our children will study the proper role of the Bible in our Capitalist Democratic Republic.
 When it comes to Social programs, Stacey will enlighten us, but let me just say:- Cali has 32% of welfre, 12% of pop—cite stone in interview

Expanded Definition: Family




Family has an ancient connotation, a biblical interpretation, and a literal application. The word itself is from the Latin familia, meaning household, which itself came from famulus, meaning ‘servant.’ There is also the historical biblical interpretation, which says that marriage is the lynchpin of the family unit. From Genesis 2:24, which is, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh," we get the modern social construct. The personal family is today best described as Marilynn Robinson puts it in her book The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought: a collection of people with shared “habits, tastes, stories, customs, [and] memories.” Well more than a framework for boring and technical scientific definitions of relationships between members of a species, family is also a way humans identify themselves -- by blood or by choice. Emotionally defined, family is perhaps the yearning in every person to belong to a strong and protective group one feels an obligation or loyalty to, a unit that can provide strength in numbers and shelter or comfort from a sometimes cruel world. Of course, families have their own brand of cruelty, and no family is exempt from this rule.
With the ancient definition, the overtone is clear: family is something owned (an object), or someone possessed by the House – these would be the women and their children, seized in conquest and forced into familial relationships for the sake of a nobler lineage or a wealthier family’s profit. Where family was once an identity given to someone when they were purchased by nobility or born into a specific bloodline, family in today’s more inclusive society is as much about association as it is about blood. This hidden history of the word is not often brought up or discussed, and of course not. It would decimate the moral judgment of those who hold the literal biblical belief described next.
Many believe America is a Christian Nation, but the Bible can be a confusing mess when defining family for those who attempt to literally follow the book.  If family is the producer of morals and values, and marriage is the foundation of family, honest accounting means admitting that the definition of marriage has changed numerous times throughout the Bible. From polygamy as the standard in Deuteronomy 21:15 to God sanctioned-rape in Judges 21:10-24---. Expansion of family is the way of accounting for the history of man. Family is hard to characterize with consistency when using the biblical framework. The definition as according to civil law must, to be consistent with history, continue to expand.
Another incongruous example, relating more to my literal experience, is where the Bible, in Romans 8:15, tells me to “Be not afraid, for it is a spirit of adoption [I] have received.”  In my life this bell rang more like a warning than an invitation – in hindsight – because a verse from Deuteronomy 23:2 which I also read, says “A bastard shall not be entered into heaven even until the tenth generation.”  I am confused.  How can I or my children and their children ever receive salvation?  If America is a Christian Nation, and if the Constitution is truly Biblically based and therefore written and maintained in accordance with the accepted Christian familial structure, then there can be no true belief -- just a coerced ‘faith’ – and no real place within society for me and every other bastard-child.
Another misconception is that there was ever a perfect time for families. To use a typical white American’s view of the 1950’s, that decade was the idyllic time. But, says researcher, author and Professor Stephanie Coontz, “…rates of unwed childbearing tripled between 1940 and 1958, but most Americans didn't notice because unwed mothers generally left town, gave their babies up for adoption and returned home as if nothing had happened.”  There is no ‘moral best’ available in the family structure; there has never been a generation where the family was the exclusive generator of proper values.
My personal story about family is not easy to digest, and most of it does not fit here. However, a brief overview is necessary to understand my perspective on the subject. At first, my only family was my fifteen year old mother. Having run away from home at twelve to escape a sexually aggressive father, her life quickly degraded into hard drugs and prostitution.  This was how she met my ‘father,’ and became pregnant at fourteen.  I never have known this person whose DNA is carried on in my body.  I have no clue who or what he is.  Family, for me, is incomplete.
Until I was three years old, this teenage girl was all I really understood as family.  Yet she was the family who sexually abused me, who zipped me up in her backpack and left me on the bed in her hotel room while she went in search of tricks and/or drugs for hours or days at a time.  She threw me at walls, sold my companionship for extra cash.  Not long after that age, I ended up entirely dependent on the State and the generous taxpayers of California for my survival. Child Protective Services did finally step in, and my family for a time was the State-run orphanage. Not to burrow into hyperbole, but if there had been no state interference I likely would have died before age five.
I was adopted by an affluent family at three and a half. By this family I was consistently portrayed and treated as an angry and  argumentative child looking for confrontation, a feral kid with no control over his emotions, rather than as the confused and inquisitive bright child with adult sensitivities about sexual activities that I was. Since the separation in my teenage years, when I was again returned to the custody of the state, there has been no contact. Well, that’s not exactly true.
I called my mom once when I was almost twenty-one. She asked who I was. I said “Jason.” She said, “Jason who?” “Your son.” “I don’t have a son.” I probably should have hung up then, but I stayed on the phone hoping she would acknowledge the eternal bond.  I still sting every time a memory pops up (a lot) or a conversation with friends turns towards family affairs. When U2’s One is on at the supermarket or some other innocuous place, I get all weepy, because the last portion of lyric reminds me that we are all family. I include this last chunk because in its entirety we see described the tension between unconditional and conditional love in a family setting:
Did I ask too much?/More than a lot./You gave me nothing/ Now it's all I got./We're one/but we're not the same/Well we/Hurt each other then we do it again/You say/Love is a temple/Love a higher law/Love is a temple/Love the higher law/You ask me to enter/then you make me crawl/And I can't be holding on/To what you got/When all you got is hurt./One love/One blood/One life/You got to do what you should./One life/With each other/Sisters/Brothers/One life, but we're not the same/We get to carry each other/Carry each other…
It really is a privilege, I have learned, both to be carried and to have someone to carry when they need it. 
Family is something I have now that, even as a young man, I never thought I could have again. I think often about the fortunate life I have led, how happy I am to love and be loved.  How set apart I am from others who have been through similar horrific abuse, to have survived all of this.  I thrive and feel grateful for my life despite what I’ve been through.  I’m lucky, I know, and not just to live to tell the tale, but to be encircled by inexhaustibly amazing people.  I belong to a family now, having surrounded myself with those who can stand my decline, those who do not pity me or take advantage of my vulnerabilities. These are people who know my sweet and gentle nature and believe it still exists though all they hear, night and day, is my bitching.  This is the family that will mourn my passing, that will monitor my attitudes,  and remind me that I appreciate a good debate but loathe a faulty argument, calling me on my bullshit when I try to sell it.  This family will see the joy I take from parenting my not-yet-three year old girl.  This is an amazing, smart, beautiful, and hope-filled child who will never have to know the horror or betrayal of my own childhood.
I know I have blood brothers somewhere, maybe sisters too.  I know my birth mother is still alive. She lives somewhere near me, even.  I have struggled, holding her address in my hands, with whether or not to attempt contact.  I doubt it would be a good idea.  Any reward of reconciliation must be balanced with the knowledge that my entire family – my family as we have chosen each other -- would also reap the consequences of my illogical inner need to somehow outwardly forgive the unforgivable.
Family for me has never been what it is for the people around me, the not so close and the close friends.  I have watched their moms and dads die, their brothers get married, their sisters divorced, I have lost contact with countless caring women and as many generous men that I counted as my close friends. That has always been my family, until I found my wife.  Now, there are two lives to intertwine, and a third to lead. We may not live up to someone else’s definition—we surely are not slaves to one another—but we are happy to have each other.
From slave to marriage and children, to units sharing emotional bonds, the word family has evolved and expanded in definition.  Humans don’t need to bind themselves for profit or to please He Who Judges—but we are connected, connected by identity and common longing to trust and unconditionally love without fear of betrayal.  This is impossible to expect from the family of man.  We all want our Pops to have been perfect or our family history to not include the pedophile uncle. But families do, and keeping these secrets is unhealthy. Slave. Family meant slave.

My Wife's Rebuttal to an Unnamed Veteran on Veteran's Day, 11-11-12


___________
about an hour ago via mobile ·
I am a veteran. I did nothing in my service that I look back and feel proud of myself. The 10-year war is a disgrace to america. There have been scandals around every corner, cover-ups, broken rules of war and laws of humanity, and the millitary has been the biggest unnecessary drain on the economy. I feel more proud of my insignificant 4 months serving the occupy movement, than I do of my USAF service. I know most of you have a fake impression of our service members, and that tv and generational stories of heroism have led you to believe that soldiers are honorable and justly defending our country... but its not true. You probably wouldn't believe the truth if jesus tramp stamped it on you. Fuck it all.

o Diana Albright I understand your sentiment, ______, and I respect your perspective. There are certainly things in recent memory that our military has no right to be proud of (Abu Ghraib comes to mind immediately, and I know there are myriad other examples), however I politely offer a counter to the statement you made about "generational stories of heroism": in WWII, my grandparents - natives of the island of Guam - suffered horrific abuses and tragic losses at the hands of the Japanese soldiers who were occupying Guam. My grandmother and grandfather, as they were from different villages, had not met each other yet, yet they each suffered similarly in different "camps" where they were imprisoned. On the day that the US military landed on the shores of the island, my grandfather was in the process of digging a mass grave. Had the Navy not arrived, he would have been laying dead in that grave along with every other Guamanian in his camp. If it had not been for the US military, an entire people would have been annihilated on that day. My grandfather, in a show of gratitude perhaps, shortly thereafter enlisted in the US Navy as a humble cook, where he remained until he retired. He took great pride in his work, and he was a very patriotic man. He was also a very kind man, who often helped other people to his own loss. He never uttered "No" to a person in need.

Unfortunately, war leads to countless tragedies. Some of the biggest tragedies are carried out by members of our military. I do not celebrate them. Not every service member is good, or even well-intentioned. They are just like all of us - some follow blindly, others live for cruelty. They are human. Many that I have known however are neither stupid or cruel. They are GOOD and they really do care about our impact on humanity. I do not think of you, a veteran, as a monster or a murderer. My grandfather certainly was not. I have dear friends, who would give their lives for anyone's right to demonize them or characterize them as other than the well-intentioned people they are. I, personally, am thankful for my grandfather, for you, and for those people.
