C.A.I.R. As Criminal Organization

The "Council on American Islamic Relations" was an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator" in the anti-terrorism Federal court case (United States v. Holy Land Foundation, et. al.; Cr. No. 3:04-240-P; N.D.TX.). This designation was sustained in spite of appeals and challenges by CAIR.

The basic defendants were found guilty as to over 100-counts.

Recent news clearly demonstrates that CAIR continues its Jihad against our Constitution's provisions for the protection of free speech and the "free exercise of religion" by all citizens.

Mentally Ill, Guns & Constitutional Rights To Due Process

I am becoming more-and-more disturbed  about the far too many politicians, news commentators/reporters, those opposed to the fullest exercise of Second Amendment rights and others of that ilk who loosely  substitute the terms  "mentally ill"  OR "emotionally disturbed", for the more accurate term "dangerous mentally ill" as to those who should not be allowed to obtain firearms.

It is fit-and-proper and legally/constitutionally-sound  that someone should be declared "Dangerously Mentally Ill" only after a fact-based and contested hearing before a judge-and-jury, in accordance with our 1000 year old system of laws and our Constitution. Why? Because to tag any citizen as being "dangerously mentally ill" takes from such citizens as many civil and political rights as a conviction of a felony---And, deserves the same legal protections.  

At this time there are too many government units (eg -- The FBI) who will accept the unverified and non-judicial comments of some (Anonymous?) Psychologist/Psychiatrist/Other-persons as sufficient "Proof" to deprive citizens of a basic civil right.  Even super-sane me (If, and only if,  you accept my self-diagnosis)  once consulted a psychologist, with my wife, to iron out some marital problems---Which smoothing did occur. .

 Should I or some child with home/school problems who sees a school psychologist or some active-duty member of the Armed Forces/Veteran for whom war/other-problems has resulted in s/he seeking counseling, and other like and law-abiding citizens be deprived of a basic civil right without "due process of law"? [I believe we have another, of too many  Federal Laws which provides for both criminal and civil prosecution for "Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color Of Law" which should deal with and punish those who would do so to those who are not dangerously mentally ill.

The FBI has reportedly placed entire groups of innocent military veterans on the "no buy"  list and that without "due process of law".

April, 2013 Note:  the New York State Police are seizing guns from citizens who are lawfully taking anti-depression medications without any prior “due process of law”. After the death of my beloved wife I took such “meds” for a short time which, in NY, would have led to my being deprived of my rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution before  my other rights were violated.

My Confesson Of Racial "Prejudice"

Yes, I do hold some "prejudices" about Blacks!

       I am prejudiced in favor of such Blacks as: Professor Thomas Sowell (A 'high school dropout"); Secretary-of-State and Professor Condoleezza Rice (Whose parents were Black school teachers in the South when such persons were not well paid or regarded); Mathematician and business leader Herman Cain; Dr. Benjamin S. Carson; Lt. Col. and Congressman Alan West (A combat hero who destroyed his military career by protecting "his troops"); Mr. Justice Thomas (Who was born in a "Deep South" town without paved roads and without a sewage system to a "farm worker" father and a mother who was a "domestic"); The Great Christian Nelson Mandela; Such less known co-workers of mine as Ralph Jefferson, Jim Foote and Mr. & Mrs. Lionel James; And some personal friends (One of whom was my house guest for over a month). I even favor Mr. Juan Williams, even though he holds many positions very much opposed to mine and attempts to "defend the indefensible" ("Obamacare").
       The central characteristic of those most-excellent persons is that they (By self-disciplined efforts) contribute much, much, more to our nation (And their race) than they take out in very hard-earned rewards.

       I am prejudiced against: Those Blacks (eg Jessie Jackson, Cornel West, Al Sharpton, Julian Bond, Jeremiah Wright, Leonard Pitts) who poof up their incomes and over-developed senses of self-worth by stirring up what remains of racial distrust in the USA; Those Blacks (eg Eric Holder and B. H. Obama) who are very active in attacking the provisions of the Bill Of Rights and the basic structure (ie Separation Of Powers) of our Republic;  Those Blacks who support Islam (Either as members of the "Nation Of Islam" or more orthodox groups) which is aimed at the destruction of democracy and real civilizations and which support is Treason as defined in Article-III, Section-3 of the Constitution; Those parasites  who maintain the "rap" and "hip-hop" sub-culture, which glorifies abuse of women, murder and other horrors;  Such outright thugs and criminals as Cystral Mangum, Tawana Brawley,  Trayvon Martin, those who "play the knock out game"; And, others well known to you.
       The central characteristic of those horrid persons is that they take, by overt crimes or more indirect means, from other people and give so little (If anything), as includes the reputation of other Black
