I would draw a circle with numbers around it, as it represented a clock. I told my audience that 12 o'clock represented all those in the middle of the political spectrum: the fence-sitters, the wafflers, the indecisive, panders, crowd pleasers, the pragmatists, moderates, those who talk out of both sides of their mouths, hypocrites etc. To the LEFT of the clock are liberals and to the RIGHT of the clock are conservatives. I explained that as the liberals move more toward 6 o'clock (to the left of 12), they begin to move toward communist extremes. And likewise, as the conservatives move toward 6 o'clock (to the right of 12), they move more toward fascist extremes. Of course, in the middle of each side (between 12 and 6) ...

Walter spent most of his working life creating plans and programs for the military. After serving as an instructor and systems test engineer at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland; a division chief in the US Army Chaparral/Vulcan Project Manager's Office in Washington DC; a project manager's senior staff representative with the US Army Air Defense Center and School at Fort Bliss Texas; and as Chief of Plans and Programs Division of the general's staff, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, I believe it goes without saying that his credentials more than qualify him as a planning genius. And genius he is. Walter, like most of us in the Freedom movement, became gravely concerned of the direction of our country and the government's declining regard for our liberties. As a result, he created the Constitutionist Networking Center (CNC) As you will see at the website, the making of this group of dedicated men had credentials that were no small potatoes. These men were working during the times when faxing was the technology of the day and were connected to over 2500 networks nationwide, according to a Washington Post ...

I asked him to submit it to Fire Society, even though the events he discusses in the article are no longer current events, since I believe the difference between a "Right" and a "Freedom" is still invaluable to us as a Society who strives to help establish Freedom around the world. This maxim on "rights," as it relates the Terri Schiavo case and to those who believe they have a right to die, is premised from the following excerpt in the Declaration of Independence and subsequent maxim below: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness...That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men..." " There is a fundamental difference from the Right to choose and the Freedom to choose ." Jeffery J. Cole . A Right is the agency from which a person may choose freely the direction of his life with impunity; and deserving of security by legal protection and from legal abstraction. However, the "right" to choose death ...
