Where, exactly, does the U.S. Constitution authorize the federal government to create "sustainable communities" in order to:
"… expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands."
Clearly, the Constitution provides no such authority, and the Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from engaging in activity not explicitly enumerated and authorized in the Constitution. This fact meant nothing to Bill Clinton, who created the President's Council on Sustainable Development by executive order. Nor does this fact have meaning to Barack Hussein Obama. On June 9, 2011, by Executive Order 13575, Obama created the White House Rural Council.
This new council consists of 25 Cabinet Secretaries – or their designee – and is chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture. The mission of the council is to:
"…work across executive departments, agencies, and offices to coordinate development of policy recommendations to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America, and shall coordinate my Administration's engagement with rural communities."
Anyone who has ever had cow manure on his boots knows full well that until the federal government decided to get "engaged" with rural communities to improve the quality of life for the poor souls who live in fly-over county, farming and ranching fed the nation. Rural America provided the resources that fueled unprecedented prosperity. Not until the government showed up to help did rural families begin to suffer.
Obama's new "White House Rural Council" has the potential to be much worse than anything Franklin Roosevelt ever dreamed about. In 1992, the U.N. produced a 40-chapter, non-binding policy document called Agenda 21. This document sets forth recommendations to transform capitalism and a free Republic into an administrative unit of global governance. Bill Clinton's PCSD began imposing these policies on American towns and cities in the mid-1990s. Obama's new council is designed to continue and expand the implementation of these policies into the hinterland.
Remember the National Animal Identification System, which USDA said was being abandoned. Ha! It's back. This new council will have the effect of multi-jurisdictional enforcement. Simply put, If a rancher or farmer fights too hard against the new USDA electronic identification system, the rancher can and will be identified throughout every agency in the council and forced to submit to inspections and enforcement of every rule and regulation imaginable. This is multi-jurisdictional enforcement.
Obama's ultimate goal is to assure that government has ultimate control of every square inch of land, every business activity, the curriculum in every school, and, ultimately, the information that may be conveyed on the public airways.
This is the goal of Agenda 21. Its recommendations are designed to produce this outcome. The program is called "Sustainable Development," which means in real terms "government-approved" development. Every recommendation in Agenda 21 requires government enforcement. Any activity that is preceded by the word "Sustainable," should be recognized as a "government-controlled" activity.
We've all been through this before with you. Why are you so slow to learn?
There is nothing honorable about socialized healthcare. There is nothing good in socialized healthcare that allows the government to decide who is to live or die.
The best thing that worked on me was a smile, a cheerful good morning followed by asking if I had a cup of coffee he could borrow. We have been friends for 21 years now.
In 2000 I starting talking with a man online. We got a long on line so we exchanged phone numbers. We became friends and for Christmas he sent me round trip airline tickets to come meet him in person. (By this time we have been talking for 3 months.) I fell in love with Virginia (that's where he lived) and 4 months later I moved to Virginia to live with him.
Unfortunately it didn't work out between him and me but I am so thankful and blessed for the experience of living in Virginia for a year.

In a fiery dissent, Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson wrote that justices hastily reached the decision and the majority "set forth their own version of facts without evidence. They should not engage in this disinformation."
Abrahamson also said a concurring opinion written by Justice David Prosser, a former Republican speaker of the Assembly, was "long on rhetoric and long on story-telling that appears to have a partisan slant."
Tuesday's ruling means the law is in effect but it wasn't immediately clear when public employees would be affected. There are no plans to apply paycheck deductions retroactively, said Rep. Robin Vos, co-chairman of the Legislature's budget committee. Walker's top aide, Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch, said the ruling was being reviewed.
Many school districts and other public entities reached new union contracts before the ruling, and collective bargaining rights were curtailed. Had the court decision not come down Tuesday, Republicans planned to put the collective bargaining provisions into a budget bill slated for debate that night so the changes could take effect during the court fight.
The fight stemmed from a lawsuit that claimed Republicans violated state law by not providing the proper public notice of a meeting in March.
All 14 of the state's Democratic senators had fled to Illinois in February to try to prevent a vote, but Republicans got around the maneuver by convening a special committee to remove fiscal elements from the bill and allow a vote with fewer members present. Walker signed the plan into law two days later, on March 11.
Democratic Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne filed the lawsuit the next week. Sumi, who initially heard Ozanne's lawsuit, issued a temporary order blocking publication of the law while she weighed the arguments and declared the law void last month.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, both Republicans, said Tuesday that they always believed the bill was legally approved.
"We followed the law when the bill was passed, simple as that," the brothers said in a joint statement. "We're finally headed in the right direction by balancing the budget and focusing on jobs, just like Republicans promised we would do."
Ozanne was disappointed, saying "we've done the best we can ... It looks like we've lost."
Attorneys for the Wisconsin Department of Justice, representing the Republicans who control the Legislature, had asked the Supreme Court to take the case directly, in part to speed the process.
Walker counted on the law being in effect in the budget he put forward for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Walker has said the public worker concessions would generate about $300 million in savings to the state over the next two years.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller said Walker and Republicans' push to enact the law "resulted in months of legal wrangling, unprecedented political divisiveness and millions of dollars of lost budget savings."
Wisconsin denied federal funds to upgrade Hiawatha Line Milwaukee to Chicago train the busiest in the Midwest

Washington has given a thumbs down to Wisconsin's bid for federal funds to upgrade the Chicago-to-Milwaukee train line.
And now some are blaming Governor Scott Walker.
The federal government is doling out millions of dollars in rail money to states across the Midwest and Wisconsin missed the train. The Milwaukee to Chicago train, the Hiawatha Line, is the busiest in the Midwest.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says Walker's stance against high speed rail funds hurt this bid for federal funding.
"Clearly, the government is interested in those regions in this country that have shown a willingness to conenct communities through high speed rail and because of the governor's previous actions, I think that hurt us," says Mayor Barrett.
The Walker administration is now focused on the future.
"Moving forward, the administration will continue to look for effective ways to improve Wisconsin's existing infrastructure network, expand where feasible, and maintain what we already have," says spokesperson from the Walker administration.
Wisconsin and Kansas are the only two Midwest states left out in the cold.
Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Indiana will all split about $7 hundred-million for rail expenses.
