WHETHER the State can loose and bind
In Heaven as well as on Earth:
If it be wiser to kill mankind
Before or after the birth—
These are matters of high concern
Where State-kept schoolmen are;
But Holy State (we have lived to learn)
Endeth in Holy War.
Whether The People be led by The Lord,
Or lured by the loudest throat:
If it be quicker to die by the sword
Or cheaper to die by vote—
These are things we have dealt with once,
(And they will not rise from their grave)
For Holy People, however it runs,
Endeth in wholly Slave.
Whatsoever, for any cause,
Seeketh to take or give,
Power above or beyond the Laws,
Suffer it not to live!
Holy State or Holy King—
Or Holy People’s Will—
Have no truck with the senseless thing.
Order the guns and kill!
Saying—after—me:—
Once there was The People—Terror gave it birth;
Once there was The People and it made a Hell of Earth.
Earth arose and crushed it. Listen, O ye slain!
Once there was The People—it shall never be again!

That's, hopefully, the future. "The City of Brass" is the present.
[Daily Caller] Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul took President Barack Obama's global warming agenda to task Tuesday night, arguing rules to shut down coal plants in the name of the climate will endanger America's energy security. What might this map tell the casual reader about political demographics and the Obama regime's intent ?
"It would be a mistake to shut down the industries in the coal fields," Paul said during Tuesday night's Republican presidential debates, adding that closing coal plants could leave people without reliable power in the winter -- alluding to the "polar vortex" during the 2013/2014 winter that forced closing coal plants to be brought back online to keep the power on.
"It would be a big danger," Paul said. "Let people drill, let 'em produce, let 'em explore."
Paul also promised to repeal the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan -- the centerpiece of Obama's plan to cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. Obama is using the rule to build support behind a global climate treaty to be signed in Paris later this month.
Earlier in the night, former Gov. Jeb Bush promised to repeal major EPA regulations, including the Clean Power Plan and the Waters of the United States rule. The Clean Power Plan is projected to devastate the coal industry by forcing mines and power plants to shut down.
"The president is not only destroying Kentucky, he's destroying the Democratic Party down there," Paul said, also mentioning that Kentucky Democrats are trying to distance themselves from Obama's energy policies.
Paul was responding to a question from Fox Business debate moderators on if America could keep producing coal, oil and natural gas while also tackling global warming. In response, Paul acknowledged mankind may have some impact on the climate, but stressed natural variability in Earth's climate history.
"Nature also has a role. The planet's 4.5 billion years old," Paul said, adding there have been "times when the temperature has been warmer, times when the temperature has been colder."

With many power plants gone now and bankruptcies of coal companies, can you imagine the losses. This is staggering. Young men and families are suffering. Older workers as well. Take home pay net of $2000. or more per week is gone. Tax revenues gone, well over 30 million in West Virgina now alone. Bankruptcies of small towns now at this time. Think about supplier services also. Obama and his Democrats have done this to America. Our own home grown ISIS. Our colleges and educational systems are breading grounds for this type of thinking. Tragic losses for years to come.

Rand Paul did well last night. I hope some of his ideas sink through to the others (and a few other of his ideas are completely ignored).
I particularly liked his pointing out that a no-fly zone over Syria indicates you would shoot down Russian fighter planes which is probably a bad idea. Carly and Jeb didn't seem to get that it wasn't ISIS pilots in the air over the region.
[LI] On November 10, 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed the infamous "Zionism Is Racism" Resolution 3379.
The Resolution was revoked in 1991, but the theme remains the same among those who want to destroy Israel.
You can attend just about any Boycott Divestment and Sanctions rally, "Jewish Voice for Peace" protest, "Campaign to End the Occupation" conference, and you will here vile rhetoric similar to that of Resolution 3379. You'll also hear it at some faculty associations where BDS resolutions have passed, such as the American Studies Association, and other associations where it is under consideration, such as the American Anthropological Association.
"Zionism is Racism" in words or concept is the rallying cry of Students for Justice in Palestine and a host of other anti-Israel campus groups, as well.
The oldest hate endures, taking new forms but never changing its tune.
So it's worth considering the words of Daniel Patrick Moynihan in opposition to that Resolution, which we covered before in my December 15, 2013 post, American Studies Association about to pass odious equivalent of Zionism is Racism resolution.
Here is an excerpt from his speech could just as easily be given today, tomorrow or any other day:
The United States rises to declare before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act.
Not three weeks ago, the United States Representative in the Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee pleaded in measured and fully considered terms for the United Nations not to do this thing. It was, he said, "obscene." It is something more today, for the furtiveness with which this obscenity first appeared among us has been replaced by a shameless openness.
There will be time enough to contemplate the harm this act will have done the United Nations. Historians will do that for us, and it is sufficient for the moment only to note one foreboding fact. A great evil has been loosed upon the world. The abomination of anti-semitism -- as this year's Nobel Peace Laureate Andrei Sakharov observed in Moscow just a few days ago -- the Abomination of anti-semitism has been given the appearance of international sanction....
As this day will live in infamy, it behooves those who sought to avert it to declare their thoughts so that historians will know that we fought here, that we were not small in number -- not this time -- and that while we lost, we fought with full knowledge of what indeed would be lost....
The United States of America declares that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
