Why? America has become lost and will only regain its footing and self-respect when we return to the tenets of the Declaration of Independence and the letter of our Constitution - without the bias from the courts. The latest attack on our border with Mexico is the latest and most blatant attempt to implode the US by adding millions more to the welfare roles and illegal voting rosters. The CIA involvement with Al-Qaida, support for the Chechnyan rebels, and ISIS in Syria/Iraq illustrates how far off the reservation our domestic traitors have gone.
Our elected leaders churn their milk of political lies into self-serving products of corruption. At this time We the People can only pray to our Supreme Architect of the Universe and hope for a miracle in the mid-term November elections. With so many with their heads in the sand, others cowering in their closets, and still others who are too stupid/ignorant to rein in their selfish greed, the 2014 elections may not be sufficient. Big government, bigger corporations, and the collusion of the Central Banks represent money and interests that will not be surrendered. That is why the fascists in America are planning to use our military against We the People, why Homeland Security is building internment camps, why veterans and Tea Partiers are attacked as terrorists, and why the middle class is being decimated.
So I've backed away from further articulation of the dangers. If you don't already understand it you never will until you become a victim of martial law or something worse. Don't worry, I'll be too busy to say 'I told you so'.
A friend of mine wrote an email explaining his thoughts and feelings over the traitorous actions of many in politics but primarily the policies and initiatives taken by the Bush and Obama Administrations. My friend speaks to the illegal immigration problem in a small Texas town and along our border with Mexico. He, like me, has been an active and responsible citizen who feels tired and frustrated. Rightfully so as the traitors in Washington DC have used their large bureaucracies and taxpayer (meaning "borrowed") money to buy, influence, or intimidate those who oppose a patently unconstitutional and un-American agenda in the United States.
The thought I take away from this: Without elected representatives to right the wrongs We the People are left in the unenviable position of having to await the arrival of General Howe in Boston and our encounter with an abusive military at Lexington. The straw is about to break the camel's back; the crisis and bloodshed to follow lies squarely on the shoulders of the current Administration and senior leaders of both political Parties. Others in the past underestimated the "sleeping giant" and our domestic enemies are allowing history to repeat itself. The good news is that patriotic Americans will take back the nation and reinstate our cherished Constitutional Republic...which has NEVER been a democracy.
Strength and Honor

Letter from my friend, Brian Burns, with the subject "Political Sabbatical", printed here with his permission. The emphasis in bold is mine. What he conveys is important to us all. When a law-abiding, responsible and active citizen feels mired by the failure of the rule of law and irresponsible politicians...what is left for the rest of us?
Hi Hugh,
I wanted to explain why I have taken so abrupt a departure
from participating in local politics. I should have done this a few weeks
ago, but I've been taken this time to decompress and get my priorities in
order.
My main interest in local, state, and national politics has
been the reduction of immigration, both legal and illegal, since 2002. In
fact, it really started in the 1980's when I was in the Coast Guard
Reserve. At the time, I was stationed in San Antonio, but we spent our
weekends on a boat at Lake Amistad in Del Rio. The lake is 25 miles long
and half-situated in Mexico and the US. Our mission was drug interdiction
and safety inspections. Over the few years I was there, I saw a lot of
drug-running with boats. I also saw how lawless and corrupt the Mexican
government was.
In 2002, I was flying fix-wing aircraft for an air ambulance
company in Dallas. I started to notice how many flights we were doing to
El Paso. We were picking up pregnant illegal alien women (and their
boyfriends/husband) after they had their babies on the American side, and
flying them back to Dallas. The American taxpayer was paying for the
majority of the flight. The hospital bill was about 10K and the flight to
Dallas was about 10K. I started joining Numbers USA, and warning my
friends/family about the dangers of illegal immigration and birthright
citizenship. From 2002-04, most of my friends and family called me a fool
and crazy person for sounding the alarm.
In 2005, after the untimely death of my parents in 2004, I
went to the border at El Paso/Fabens with the Texas Minutemen. My Father
was a career military officer, and I wanted to do something in tribute to his
memory. During the first trip to the border, we had a 25K bounty on our
heads from the drug cartels, and we were warned by the Border Patrol, that
people were regularly killed where we patrolled. A week earlier, a drug
runner was burned alive. In 2006, I returned to El Paso/Fabens. In
2006-08, I was invited to give a talk to several local Republican clubs on the
border, and informed them of the chaos developing. Most of the public
were still under the impression that Mexico was a vacation paradise, not the
land where over 80K people would be killed by cartel violence, including over
2K Americans. I was also given a Certificate of Appreciation by the
Denton County Republican Executive Committee on July 25, 2006 for my public
service and speaking.
In August of 2006, City Councilman Tim O'Hare asked Robin or
myself to give a talk before the Farmers Branch City Council about the dangers
of illegal immigration, and to propose restrictions to those renting in the
city. Robin took up the cause, and the rest is history for Farmers
Branch. Tim O'Hare became mayor, and later asked me to run for city
council; I declined, saying I did not want to be a politician; my background is
more with the military, and I am too plain spoken. In 2006-2008, the city
council passed, with the consent of 68% of the voters in FB, an ordinance
restricting illegal immigration. We demonstrated for this ordinance, and
were called "racists" and "bigots" by LULAC, La Raza, and
the media. We told the council we did not care if it cost millions and
had to take it all the way to the US Supreme Court, which we did; the liberal
judiciary kept putting injunctions on it and it lost at the Supreme Court, even
though a similar bill in Nebraska was passed and implemented.
After all that hard work, it was quite disconcerting to hear
of the interview that former mayor Tim O'Hare gave to Channel 8 news
recently. It seems appropriate that I withdrew from local politics right
before this interview. Tim O'Hare recently moved to Southlake, TX, and
made two comments about immigration. First, he said it was about the
children and the border crisis, and second if he had to do it all over again,
he would not have pursued immigration reform through our city. After all
our hard work, and demand from our local politicians to take it up no matter
what the cost, it was a slap in the face to all of the 68% of our voters who
wanted illegal immigration controlled locally. No one in Farmers Branch
wanted those illegal alien children harmed; they should be humanely supported,
but quickly and eventually deported.
In 2009, we took up the the rise of the Tea Party over
Obamacare and demonstrated at every opportunity. We attended the
Carrollton and Farmers Branch chapters. From 2009-2014, we saw the
country slowly erode into anarchy under the Saul Alinsky tactics of Barrack
Hussein Obama. During that time, we helped get several new city council
members elected in Farmers Branch. They help revitalize the business community
with conservative principles. We also stopped several liberals from
getting on the city council, including Elizabeth Villafranca and Luther
Burbank, who both made several nasty statements about Farmers Branch being a
"racist" city, and they were embarrassed to live here.
In 2013, I helped form a group called Friends of the
Branch. This group was to promote civic responsibility and conservative
principles. I became a board member. It is a good group, and I am
proud of having served on the board. However, by being on the board, I
was privy to much inside information to the inner workings of the city, and I
became disgusted with what I saw and heard. It was the final straw for
me.
It was not the fault of the Friends of the Branch. I
guess I was just "burned out" on politics. I had been fighting
this battle for close to 12 years, long before a lot of people. I was
called a "bigot" and "racist" and I was worn out.
Barrack Obama had also worn me out on the federal politics with a new crisis
every day, from Benghazi, IRS, Fast and Furious, and the Border. Even Bush
had worn me out, publicly calling all Minutemen "vigilantes" for
doing their civic duty when the federal government would not or could not do
theirs.
I will continue to work with the local Tea Parties, and
support the work of our newly elected State government. We have some good
people in Matt Rinaldi, Greg Abbot, Ken Paxton, and Dan Patrick.
Something just has to give and it is the local politics in Farmers
Branch. I have also been recently let down by a few local politicians.
So, I am on sabbatical for now. I am still plugging
away at politics, but I am more behind the scenes with Numbers USA, and
attending some Tea Party meetings. I will also continue being a regular
member of Friends of the Branch. They are doing a great job for the
citizens of The Branch.
My other interest in with my local Masonic Lodge and the
Shriners. The Shriners do a lot of good with their hospitals and circus, and
I am getting more involved with them.
So, sorry to bore you, but I wanted to catch you up with my
life right now.
Hope all is well with you. Take care,
Brian
