Here is a note that appeared in our newspaper's 'You Said It' column: "I am an avid sportsman who loves to hunt and fish, but what I saw at a recent gun show in L--- park disgusted me. There were hundreds of assault-type weapons for sale. There is absolutely no place for those guns in our society outside of law enforcement and the military. Limited gun control does not mean no guns." Here is our reply: Dear Editor, |

1. Governments are instituted among men to secure our rights against infringement, especially against infringement by the very government to which we have entrusted that task. 2. You were elected by WE the People, NOT the lobbyists and bureaucrats, to do business for us, not them. 3. You were elected to be our representatives, not our rulers, and not members of the Capitol Hill chapter of the good-ol'-boys club. 4. Respect is earned, not demanded. We will stand up for you if and when you stand up for us. 5. You cannot do just any old thing you want. Like teenagers, you can only do what we, your 'parents', have given you permission to do. 6. What we have given you permission to do is found in the constitutions you swore to uphold and defend in an oath you took before God and man. It's part of your job description...READ IT. 7. What we have denied you permission to do is found in the same place. It's part of your job description...READ IT. Oh, but the way...we didn't hire you to look for ways to get around you limits, either. 8. It's YOUR job, not the courts', to make sure your bills to not violate the constitution. It was you, not the judges, who took your oath of legislative office. It's also your job to know what you're voting for. Don't vote for a bill if you haven't personally read it in its entirety or don't understand its meaning and consepuences. 9. If you find you don't have the time to, or otherwise can't, live up to your oath of office, do your job within its limits, or read all those bills, resign and let someone else do the job. 10. And speaking of judges, it's YOUR job to keep an eye on what they're doing and to get rid of bad ones, even if it hurts their feelings. It hurts our liberties when you don't Judges are NOT gods, they're people hired to do a job. (And, come to think of it, that goes for you too.) P.S. One more for good measure... The right to initiate laws is not just a right, it is a reserved power. That means you have no business trying ot figure out ways to make it more difficult for us to exercise that power. Your only job is to implement it as written in the constitution. Whether you find the results personally inconvenient is irrelevant. YOU are NOT the government; WE (the People) ARE! |

Why are the evolutionists bringing up Neanderthal Man and questions about whether or not he could speak? I guess they've run out of new "missing links" and are trying to revive an old one. Any competent anthropologist knows that Neanderthal Man today is classified "Homo sapiens"--fully human. Their original mistake is understandable. The individual first assessed had been crippled with arthritis, and these people who lived in the Neander Valley near Dusseldorf, Germany, suffered with severe cases of rickets caused by a vitamin D deficiency. This caused softening of the bones resulting in skeletal malformation. The Neanderthal people manufactured sophisticated weapons and tools of stone and buried their dead with flowers and various objects believed to be useful in the next life. Also, their cranial capacity exceeded that of modern man. A study of Nebraska Man (Hesperopithecus Haroldcookii) gives us an example of the amazing abilities of evolutionists. From a single tooth, found in western Nebraska in 1922, evolutionists were able to illustrate how this creature and contemporaries looked..., similar to modern man but brutish in appearance. The eminent authorities of the day couldn't decide whether to designate him as an ape-like man or a man-like ape. In 1927, after further collecting and studying, the argument became a moot point. Nebraska Man was an extinct peccary--a pig. (Sorry Huskers.) After studying these and other "missing links", it seems evolution is more art than science, in some cases all art and no science, and in cases such as Piltdown Man, complete fraud. |

Do you ever feel or think that all the values that are most important to you are constantly under attack? I initially was concerned that the education takeover by the Humanists, Atheists and Evolutionists would cause our country (USA) to became a Socialist/Communist state. I think that concern is justifed. The only religion allowed to be taught in our Public (Government) Schools is Atheistic Humanism. Maybe I used 'only' in the wrong context. It seems to me the only religon not allowed in Government Schools is Christianity. "But," someone says, "What about separation of Church and State?" What they really mean is separation of Christain principles from the laws of our land. If you look at the laws of the countries or the world, you'll see that they are based on the religious views of those country's leaders, whether they be Humanist, Atheist, Islamic, etc. Although recent historians have tried to hide the fact, our Founding Fathers based the laws of the USA on Biblical principles. To be expounded on.... |

Questions 3-5 Taken from 'Icons of Evolution - the growing controversy over Darwin', put out by ColdWater Media, LLC c.2001 300 General Palmer Dr., P.O. Box 400, Palmer Lake, CO 80133. 1-800-889-8670 HOMOLOGY Why do textbooks define homology as similarity due to common ancestry, then claim that it is evidence for common ancestry -- a circular argument msaquerading as scientific evidence? VERTEBRATE EMBRYOS Why do textbooks use drawings of similarities in vertebrate embryos as evidence for their common ancestry -- even though biologists have known for over a century that vertebrate embryos are not most similar in their early stages, and the drawing are faked? ARCHAEOPTERYX Why do texbooks partray this fossil as the missing link between dinosaurs and modern birds -- even though modern birds are probably not decended from it, and it's supposed ancestors do not appear until millions of years after it? God Bless Parents Who Drugged Us! This was on the front of our church bulletin this Sunday. By an unknown author. The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?" I replied: "I had a drug problem when I was young: I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for wedding and funerals I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if i didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profane four-letter word. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the colthesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for thes kindness, she would fave drug me back to the woodshed. Those drugs are still in me veins; and the affect my behavior in everyghing I do, say, and think. They are stronger that cocain, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place |

Questions 1&2 Taken from 'Icons of Evolution- the growing scientific controversy over Darwin', put out by ColdWater Media, LLC c. 2001 300 General Palmer Dr, P.O. Box 400, Palmer Lake, CO 80133. 1-800-889-8670 1. ORIGIN OF LIFE Why do textbooks claim that the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment shows how life's building blocks may have formed on the early Earth -- when conditions on the early Earth were probably nothing like those used in the experiment, and the origin of life remains a mystery? 2. DARWIN'S TREE OF LIFE Why don't textbooks discuss the "Cambrian explosion", in which all major animal groups appear together in the fossil record fully formed instead of branching from a common ancestor -- thus contradicting the evolutionary tree of life. Further information can be found at www.iconsofevolution.com/tools This is actually AuthorElf, posting for Defender. We highly recommend the movie 'Icons of Evolution'. It is very informational. Secular scientists, both supportive and critical of Darwinian evolution, give their points of veiw. Intelligent Design people, be prepared to hold your temper while watching this movie. Some of the comments made by pro-evolutionists will leave you sputtering in disgust. "A fair result can by obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question." -Charles Darwin I loved this quote. It was at the very end of the movie. |

Thank you for printing "The First Thanksgiving" editorial. It was a breath of fresh air and gives lie to the A.P. article the day before: "Cultural sensitivity or self-loathing?". The above is an unpublished letter to the editor by Defender written in response to a news artical on a school teacher who told his students that the pilgims stole land from the Indians when they landed in 1620. (For the record; the land that the pilgrims settled in had belonged to the Pataxut tribe. The entire tribe had been wiped out by a plague a few years before. When the pilgrims came they settled in unclaimed and unihabited land.)

Dear Dad, I heard you talking about not being able to get the word out to people, not being able to tell a whole lot of people what you wanted to say. I know you want to voice your opinions, but often are unable to. I hope that this blog will help you reach out. Merry Christmas! Your loving daughter, AuthorElf |
