USS SANTA MARIA*****SHIP OF TRUTH ** Armchair Admiral Commanding ** |
The armchair Admiral says:
"It's my job to say it. Not to explain it!" More of the same in a different format. Check it out. "Everyone shall have the right freely to express an opinion and disseminate his opinion by speech, writing and pictures...Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by broadcasts and films are guaranteed. THERE SHALL BE NO CENSORSHIP." Article 5, Federal Republic of Germany Constitution, 1949 E-MAIL TO: ARMCHAIR ADMIRAL Definitely not opinions from the political left: Thomas Sowell Walter Williams Ann Coulter David Limbaugh Paul Craig Roberts David Horowitz Jonah Goldberg Tony Blankley Charles Krauthammer William Safire
The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free. JOHN ADAMS A Defense of the American Constitution. SECNAVINST 10520.6 N09B1 31 May 2002 SECNAV INSTRUCTION 10520.6 From: Secretary of the Navy To: All Ships and Stations (less Marine Corps field addressees not having Navy personnel attached) Subj: DISPLAY OF THE FIRST NAVY JACK DURING THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM Ref: (a) U. S. Navy Regulations, 1990 1. Purpose. To provide for the display of the first navy Jack on board all U. S. Navy ships during the Global War on Terrorism. 2. Discussion. As the first ships of the Continental Navy readied in the Delaware River during the fall of 1775, Commodore Esek Hopkins issued a set of fleet signals. His signal for the "whole Fleet to Engage" the enemy provided for the "strip'd Jack and Ensign at their proper places." Thus, from the very beginning of our Navy, the Jack has been used on board American warships. The first navy Jack was a flag consisting of 13 horizontal alternating red and white stripes bearing diagonally across them a rattlesnake in a moving position with the motto "Don't Tread On Me." The temporary substitution of this Jack represents an historic reminder of the nation's and Navy's origin and will to persevere and triumph. 2. Action. The first navy jack will be displayed on board all U. S. Navy ships in lieu of the Union Jack, in accordance with sections 1259 and 1264 of reference (a). The display of the first Navy Jack is an authorized exception to section 1258 of reference (a). Ships and craft of the Navy authorized to fly the first Navy Jack will receive an issue of four flags per ship through a special distribution. Gordon R. England Distribution: SNDL Parts 1 and 2 As good government is an empire of laws, how shall your laws be made? In a large society, inhabiting an extensive country, it is impossible that the whole should assemble to make laws. The first necessary step, then, is to depute power from the many to a few of the most wise and good. John Adams, Thoughts on Government 1776 THOMAS JEFFERSON "Political propaganda in modern society is becoming increasingly professional with a growing reliance on non-rational techniques of persuasion." One such technique is censorship. With propaganda and censorship combined, a heretofore murky image of the Santa Maria Times begins to come into focus. "If there is one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man,---it is the man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil." JOHN GARFIELD Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The Oath of Allegiance: I hereby declare, an oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose or evasion: So help me God. "The public good is not to be considered if it is to be purchased at the expense of the individual." Lord Acton "So, then, to every man his chance -- to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining golden opportunity -- to every man his right to live, to work, to be himself, to become whatever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him -- this, seeker, is the promise of America." Thomas Wolfe "Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness." --James Wilson |
