Photos of Bush Rally

My brother over at Free Constitution convinced me to go to Salt Lake City (1 hour south of here) to a Pro-Bush Rally to capture the protesters. Apparently there was an Anti-Bush protest hosted by the “Death to Israel” group which featured Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky “Horror” Anderson a few hours earlier. President Bush would be flying in that night (Wednesday night).

Hover over the images to read more about them.






















After leaving the event we drove by a smaller Anti-War event hosted by "Death to Israel." We saw a sign that read, "Capitalism kills Democracy!" Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the New Democratic Party. A bunch of folks with some missing screws.

Farewell...

Ever since April of this year I've been neglecting this blog. From this blog's birth to March of this year I've enjoyed the fierce discussion. I've been right and wrong on the issues and I learned from my mistakes. I criticized the President when he was wrong and stood by him when he was right. I've learned more about the Constitution through this blogging experience and I hope to use this knowledge to better serve my country.

I want to thank everyone who ever commented (negatively or positively) on this blog. The Federalist Party is all but gone. The Republicans have become more socially conservative and are nationally imposing "morality." The Framers didn't want this. The Libertarian Party doesn't have any structure and doesn't seem to know where it's going. The Constitutional Party (a grassroots Party) is the closest thing to the party James Madison and Alexander Hamilton represented. Federalism will live on. In 2008 we will have a Federalist elected as President.

I will come back every now and then with other blogs about local elections.

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite" (James Madison).

Wrong again...

"The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, saying in a strong rebuke that the trials were illegal under U.S. and international law" (ABC).

The Graham-Levin amendment, which was passed (84-14) in November 2005, cut off detainees’ potential access to the federal courts. However, the case that was brought before the Supreme Court involving Salim Ahmed Hamdan was pending in the system before the Graham-Levin amendment.
----

Did the Supreme Court get it right? No. The detainees at Guantanamo have been afforded rights they should not have. Why were they afforded these rights? Because of the “Geneva Conventions.”

Two things I have to say about the “Geneva Conventions”:

1) Alqaeda doesn’t afford us these rights.

2) If you’re going to cite the Geneva Conventions at least get it right! What part of the Geneva Conventions, in particular Convention III, Article 4 do these idiots not understand? Alqaeda does not and did not follow the criteria:
a) They did not have a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance (or uniform).
b) They did not conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

I sure hope Congress fixes this mess.

Borderline...
