COLUMN: Wake up to the government's reality

— Are you familiar with executive order No. 13575 that has been signed into law by the president and the U.N. agenda 21. The things promoted by these marvelous sounding documents are like all governmental plans. We are here to help you, but it is just a way to get the camel’s nose under the tent. Before you can stop the beast, he is in and you are out in the cold.

Agenda 21 has not been voted on, but you must implore your representatives to vote against it. Agenda 21 openly targets private property. The U.N. wrongly contends private land ownership causes inequitable concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice. Healthy societies can only be achieved if land is communal and all used in the interest of society, not individuals. Seems to me that was tried by the Pilgrims and they nearly starved to death; it won’t work. Each family was given their own plot of land and there was plenty of food for every one. Just remember that your president is all about fairness.

The U.N. is still consumed with climate change and I have noticed that the climate is in a state of change constantly. The weather forecast on some channels gives the high and low temperatures for the date, and if you will notice the temperature for that date varies almost unbelievably over the years. Forty-nine former NASA scientists and astronauts sent a letter to NASA administrator Charles Bolden admonishing the agency for its role in advocating a high degree of certainty that man-made C02 is a major cause of climate change, while neglecting empirical evidence that calls the theory into question.

Do you remember Hillary Clinton screaming that she was sick and tired of hearing that dissent was unpatriotic? She said that debate and protest was the highest form of patriotism. We now have HR347 that will limit free speech based on what a Secret Service agent deems appropriate. The bill was cosponsored by a Republican and a Democrat. I don’t believe a speaker should be interrupted — all discourse should be civil. I could be slightly biased, but it seems to me that liberals are ardently in love with free speech, only when they are speaking.

Don’t forget to read up on the history of Argentina, before you make a decision on who to vote for this coming presidential election. It went from one of the wealthiest nations to one of the poorest and an inflation rate of 3000 percent. We are headed in that direction.

One more minor observation, we hear that the president is a constitutional lawyer.

In my opinion the only reason that he has an interest is the Constitution is to see how it can be dismantled. It’s obvious that he doesn’t like the restraints that it puts on big government. He sees it as a flawed document that thwarts communism.

    All politics is local and personal! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful summer, filled with relationship building experiences and times of relaxation. As you do all the things that re-charge us for the next round at work and involvement in community and political activities, let’s reflect on the 2013 local elections for a moment.

    You don’t often see “woe” used in an article. It’s a word that has fallen out of usage in our day. But it’s a word that ought to be understood and taken seriously.

    As mercury pollution threatens our waterways and carbon pollution-fueled climate change worsens extreme weather, we need someone in Washington who knows how to get things done.

    I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to the slobs, idiots and inconsiderate people who continually decorate the beautiful Texas landscape with their trash. I guess it’s really a form of art with beer bottles and cans, boxes, plastic drink containers, food packaging and just about anything else you can think of. It just doesn’t appeal to me. Thank you.

    I had never really considered this possibility, but every one of the Three Little Pigs was almost certainly a guy. I know that assumption is not particularly popular from an equal opportunity standpoint, but the fact is fairly certain. How do I know? They all three had hair on their chinny chin chins.

    A sight that always catches my eye when we’re out to eat is a mother and her young son eating alone. Carole sometimes has to touch my arm to regain my attention. Discretely, I observe the interaction between them and wonder what their story is.

    As a lifelong resident of Weatherford, I attended our public schools as did my wife, son, daughter and granddaughters. I have been in business here for many years and paid my school taxes without complaint. However, I do plan to vote no on the upcoming WISD bond election for the following reasons:
