Owner says ruling makes multi-million dollar property useless
Imagine waking up one day you find out the government has declared your private property to be a quote critical habitat. For an endangered frog. Now to make matters worse to -- has not been seen in your home state for fifty years. This is not a joke. It happened to one man in Louisiana so we went down to the bayou state.
There are a rising number of people who are frustrated with what Washington is doing, which is a perfectly legitimate and, in my opinion, correct view of ‘how do we push back?’” he told POLITICO. “Unfortunately, there’s a minority in that group that thinks nullification is the answer, by which they mean good old-fashioned, South Carolina, John C. Calhoun nullification. That’s deeply mistaken and unfortunate.
Nullification is the argument that individual states have a constitutional authority to void federal laws. John C. Calhoun made this claim back in 1832 and James Madison vehemently opposed it during the Nullification Crisis leading up to the Civil War.
But it follows, from no view of the subject, that a nullification of a law of the U. S. can as is now contended, belong rightfully to a single State [emphasis added]
POLICY & ISSUESAUGUST 2, 2013BY: DAVE GIBSON
In the last week, Rep. Paul Ryan has voiced his support for amnesty and is even reportedly working with longtime amnesty advocate Rep. Luis Gutierrez, to pass so-called 'immigration reform' legislation in the House.
Fed-up with the the party they have supported with both their votes and their wallets, the Tea Party Immigration Coalition (TPIC) recently penned a letter to Reince Preibus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
The leadership of the TPIC asked this columnist to publish the letter...
Dear Chairman Preibus,
We are writing to advise you of a developing situation that should alarm you, as it does us. Tea Party and other patriot groups are hearing grumblings from their members that should concern the Republican Party.
The issue regards the amnesty of illegal aliens that is currently being discussed in Congress.
The discussion about "immigration reform," which we understand as code words for "amnesty" and the support of amnesty voiced by many Republicans in government, and out, has many of our members talking about leaving the Republican Party.
Also, many are saying they are seriously considering support for a Third Party.
Regardless of the widespread belief that a lack of support for border security and immigration enforcement led to defeat last November, this current discussion of amnesty has the potential for decimating the ranks of Republican activists at a time when all attention needs to be focused on the 2014 mid-term Congressional elections.
As the problems of illegal immigration continue to grow and impact citizens in every city in our country, the response by Republicans must be pro-enforcement, not amnesty.
Republican support for an amnesty will not impact the Hispanic vote one bit, as history has proven.
The contention that Republicans will win Hispanic votes by supporting amnesty is an offense to Hispanic Americans because it implies that by forgiving an illegal act, the Republicans can buy Hispanic votes. The whole concept insults the integrity of Hispanic American citizens.
Please understand, this is not a threat. This is what we are hearing and it concerns us because of the damage that will be done to the Republican Party.We are at a point in history when we need every friend we've got to halt the slide into the inevitable destruction of our economy and our country that will occur if conservatives are not elected to the government.
Various Tea Party and Patriot groups across the country are signing onto the letter, which will be sent to Chairman Preibus soon, according to TPIC President Rick Oltman.
Recent history gives further credence to the TPIC's warning...
During a press conference on May 8, 2012, the Republican National Committee's Director of Hispanic Outreach, Bettina Inclan told reporters that Mitt Romney was yet to make a decision on how to deal with the important issue of illegal immigration.
Inclan stated: "My understanding that he is still deciding what his position on immigration is."
Though less than an hour after making this damaging admission, Inclan sent out a Tweet, saying:"I misspoke, Romney's position on immigration is clear."
However, the horse had already left the barn at that point, and the apprehensions that many conservatives had about the former Massachusetts governor were given more credence.
Unfortunately, for those of us who wish to see the rule of law enforced and priority given to unemployed Americans over foreign nationals when it comes to jobs...there simply was no candidate to choose from this election year.
And, that is why fewer Republican voters showed up to the polls last year, than did in both the 2008 and 2004 elections.
Both parties already seem to agree that government should be big and expensive (despite GOP rhetoric), and now it would seem that the Republican Party is embracing the idea of rewarding those whose first act in this country is a crime.
If this is to be the case, Republicans can now bid farewell to the White House forever, as true conservatives will never compromise their principles as the GOP seems to do so easily.

Statement from TeamNJ Concerning the August 13th Republican Primary for US Senate
June 14, 2013
By Nicholas Purpura and Dwight Kehoe
When Steve Lonegan announced his candidacy for Senate we were truly excited; a true conservative Republican running for the US Senate from New Jersey. Thereafter, we were informed that Dr. Alieta Eck threw her hat in the ring. Wow, the excitement continued; TeamNJ now had not just one true conservative for support consideration, but two!
So which of the two does TeamNJ support? At this time all we can say is, we have two winners on the ballot in this primary, both with the correct political ideology. New Jersey and the country can not lose with either of them.
When you look at the two Marxist-Democrats jockeying for the same US Senate seat, you see two of the most liberal reprobates who have ever polluted the halls of Congress. Representatives Holt and Pallone. The third challenger is none other than the Mayor of Newark, Cory Booker. The question many are asking: Will those two congressmen mount a savage attack on Mayor Booker, and thereby risk alienating the reliable black vote? We can only hope they do.
As for Republicans and conservatives, it's imperative that we select a Senator who will best represent our state and our country and, as we decide, stay united against the assassins of our Constitution. For the first time in recent history, we have two such candidates in Steve Lonegan and Dr. Alieta Eck. What both campaign teams must do is, consistent with honorable conservative statesmanship, run a clean and noble primary campaign based upon what they can do and will do, as opposed to highlighting the possible shortcomings of the opponent. We are blessed with two fine candidates. Let's leave the mudslinging to the Marxist Democrats.
Why do we continue to call them Marxist Democrats? Simple, the Democratic party of your father no longer exists. Allow us to remind the voters of a quote in a speech given by 6-time Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party, Norman Thomas:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened”.
He went on to say:
“I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party, The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”
With all the shortcomings of today's Democratic Party, they do remain loyal to the party line and always support their primary winners. It would be wise for Mr. Lonegan's and Dr. Eck’s campaign committees and the Republican Party to take that page out of the Democratic playbook (but please, only that page). Following the primary, join forces behind the winner.
We have noticed a few e-mails, not generated by either campaign, containing derogatory comments.
Such activity does not serve New Jersey, but will surely serve her enemies.
We either elect a constitutionalist Senator to represent us and our fellow citizens or we get more of the same un-American socialists. Be assured, the media as well as their Democratic operatives, are experts when it comes to mudslinging. You can expect the usual lies and slander, as well as the compounding of things said in our primary. We all must be vigilant and professional throughout this primary election.
The entire country will be watching. It is time to unite!
Whether Steve Lonegan or Dr. Alieta Eck wins the primary, the other should not only support the winner but also keep their team in place. Thereafter, immediately begin to prepare for the all-important Congressional elections of 2014. New Jersey and the country need men and women of moral character in the halls of Congress. Either one, Lonegan or Eck, would serve America well in any office and, after running a clean and honorable campaign based upon the issues, both of them will surely gain the support of constitutional and conservative groups such as TeamNJ for future campaigns.
The Eagle, Mr. Nicholas Purpura

THE COUNTDOWN TO OBAMACARE
On October 1st, millions of Americans will be required to enroll in Obamacare and could lose access to their doctors and be forced to pay higher premiums and higher taxes. But there's still time to stop it. Republicans in Congress can stop Obamacare if they refuse to fund it.
Sign the petition and tell Congress: Don't Fund Obamacare!
Let's stop this foolishness until it can be done correctly!
