RICH'S RANTS

Lying and hypocrisy, especially from a reasonably intelligent adult is intolerable. When a person works in conjunction with others, and demonstrate these same character flaws in unison, it becomes even worse, if not evil. So when one of these crackerheads gets on TV and says, "I can't believe this [the Elian raid] is happening in America," they are either incredibly naive, or lying through their hypocritical lips.

First a little truth in advertising. 15 years ago I had to fight the great state of Illinois who thought my teenage daughter should be allowed to quit school and run wild. I was rudely jolted from my world as Charles Ingall's into reality. We escaped their clutches by sending her 1,000 miles away, only to find out later that DCFS, specifically a state worker named Olav Christiansen (may he go to hell for eternity), were making arrangements to have the boyfriend join her in Texas. And that in a nutshell, led to Peggy and I moving here with our remaining teens.

While I was fighting for my daughter, we joined ToughLove, which I attribute to keeping me sane. A group of us TL parents identified the state as the culprit in turning our world upside down and destroying our families. We formed a chapter of VOCAL (Victims of Child Abuse Laws) and fought back. There I heard stories from parents that make the Saga of Elian seem tame. I met a young mother, an Army veteran, who retreated to her bathroom with her pre-schoolers, barricaded the door, while Vermilion County Deputies broke thru her exterior and interior doors, to place the kids into the hands of a (nurturing) female govt servant (is that an oxymoron?). As our group swelled to 60, these stories were abundant. And this was happening decades ago in small town middle America.

That's ancient history. Eight years later, another govt "dynamic entry" (isn't the English language wonderful) which occurred in rural Waco, showed me hadn't moved nearly far enough. Worse than that, we couldn't move far enough. What I had witnessed being done by state workers were now being mimicked by the feds. After Texas, where else can you move?

Now, a few observations. Elian, free in America. In spite of our arrogance, are we too stupid to admit there are millions in the former USSR that if they were given a chance to return to communism they'd do so in a Moscow heartbeat?

...and the feds are lying (what else is new) when they say they thought there might be guns in "Elian's home." That house has undoubtedly been bugged pillar-to-post for months with every word on tape captured in a computer program called Echelon, within Reno's beck-and-call. They knew no guns existed and they knew any plans they had discussed to resist.

As for complaints about the feds ignoring the 4th Amendment, that's been abolished long before the 2nd. How many talking heads have you heard say it wasn't necessary [to get a warrant] because it wasn't a custody matter, it was an INS matter---and that branch of the executive is exempt from the Bill of Rights? "They go in there wearing black ski masks to hide their identity, and then get upset when they are called jack booted thugs! To paraphrase a certain dietitian, you are what you wear."
