Guns in bars is Constitutional
I was not surprised to hear of the ruling from a female judge in Nashville who said the recently passed Bill to allow guns in bars was unconstitutional. This so-called judge is not only wrong but apparently also uneducated in the U.S. Constitution she swore to uphold. The 2nd Amend says directly that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The only restraint indicated in the Constitution is when a person is held for a crime under the 5th Amend. This judge shows her liberal bias moreover by ignoring the fact that those who are allowed under this Bill to carry weapons in bars have gone through background checks. We certainly have an element within the judicial community within this State and Country that are imbued with a certain degree of judicial imprudence. I would include here Mr. Gibbons who supported Mr. Bredesen's veto of the Bill.
Whose responsibility is it to take care of America's waste water?
This question has been haunting me of late due to the concerns of sewage seeping into our drinking water. N.Y. has a problem and so does Chattanooga. The 10th Amendment says "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution . . . are reserved to the States. . . ." under Art I Sec 8 the powers given to Congress are spelled out. Under no direct power is the Congress granted authority over America's waterways or bodies. Congress is however given authority to govern the several States' commerce with themselves and other nations. The problem is simple enough to understand it is stated. Waste water treatment plants are overwhelmed when rainwater flows into the plants thus causing intake gates to shut and send the waste into overflow pipes back into water reservoirs. It appears to me if we are concerned about using this water as drinking water we shouldn't be. As I understand, our drinking water can actually come from raw sewage if need be because of the effectiveness of our water purification systems. Waste is mixed with so-called biological digesters that consume dangerous pathogens. The waste water is then mixed with chlorine and sent back into clean water reservoirs. Non-the-less, I am not crazy about swimming with terds. Perhaps it is reasonable to say as well that although we should strive for clean water, perfection of everything will not be found on this earth in this life. If States are responsible for ensuring adequate water treatment, they should plan for it. One point I would argue is States and cities have been so busy throwing money to the wind, including the Fed, they have not given proper attention to sewage treatment. One such example is Chattanooga. Chattanooga wastes money in numerous ways. I would include here the paying of vacation pay, sick pay, and retirement benefits among others. If these monies were used to provide for adequate infrastructure rather then chasing after the Joneses we would be in far better shape. There is also a question in my mind as to whether the EPA is constitutional under Art I. It seems somewhat ironic moreover that the EPA would announce fines upon cities when the Fed has wasted enough money to take care of the sewage treatment for the entire nation probably several times over.

What Happens When You Die In Tennessee?
As I am growing older, some things are becoming more important to me. One of which is to ensure what God has entrusted to me is administered properly upon my death. One thing, even if taken in aggregate with all my other concerns, that aggravates me to no end, is that the government will pick apart my bones, so to speak, when my spirit separates itself from my body under the power of God to be with the LORD forever. TN has two death taxes: the Inheritance tax and the Estate tax. The Inheritance tax is a tax upon the privilege of receiving property by transfer because of a decedent’s death. The Estate tax is a supplement to the Inheritance tax. Both taxes are directly related to the Fed Estate tax. Because of its' complexity, One really needs to examine the Code.
Can you even imagine the audacity of these politicians? They are telling you that you have a privilege to receive something God has given to you! Yeah, they throw in an exception, as to pay Peter while robbing Paul. But the point is, whomever I designate as the administrator of my Will will have to pay homage to Caesar(TN) if the value of my estate reaches a certain $ amount. So you thought the Fed was the only one who stole your money? Thing again. And I might add, you can thank plenty of Republicans as well as Democrats for this robbery. You say "robbery." That's right! You heard me straight. If this tax is not paid, someone is levied against by force or threat of force (taking your money by the force of the State w/o your permission.) Do you hear any of the Gubernatorial candidates addressing this?

Why do I go after Republicans more then Democrates?
Some have wondered over the years, including certain Republicans, who have pointedly told me that saying negative facts about republicans was anti-Republican, that I should not attack a fellow republican. The question goes, more to the point, why don't you attack Democrats? I'll tell you why. It goes without saying that I am opposed to the Democratic Philosophy.

What is it that binds the Republican party together?
Are there any issues which are non-negotiable to be a Republican? For me, the single greatest issue of our time is abortion. I can think of no issue which strikes at the heart of who we are as a people and a nation as whether or not it is OK to murder a child conceived in rape. Yet this is what TN's Republican leader espouses if this is what will bring more people into the party. I'm am very sorry to hear this. What do we call this activity espoused by this leader, perhaps none other than the dialectic process, known or not by the purveyor, resulting in self-editorializing. To see what is really happening, consider the following. "The fear of alienation from the group is the pressure that prevents an individual from standing firm for the truth of the Word of God, and such a one usually remains silent (self-editing). The fear of man (rejection) overrides the fear of God. The end result is a 'paradigm shift' in how one processes factual information." This is what the Republican party is facing. Those who stand must stand solid for the truth against all changes in the truth of God's word. If you have to believe a certain way to get elected in TN but you don't really believe that way, you are not genuine. I might add that before I entered the TN governors race in 2006, I sought the advice of leaders in the TN Republican party. I was dissuaded from mentioning my pro-life stance as a priority issue. I disagreed then and I do now.
How do you teach others to save when you haven't done it yourself?
Mr. Wamp said that he has no assets other then his home. If one of the biggest problems we are facing in America is our lack of saving, doesn't it stand to reason we would like some people who have done pretty well at it to be responsible for the money we entrust to them in our taxes? It is beyond me how someone can make 165K a year for 14 years and not have 500,000 in cash or some other investment. Something is seriously wrong with this. It does not speak of someone who will invest the States funds to their best and safest measure.
