To those who have not and believe in the Constitution,
Take a similar Oath now to the Constitution!
Remember that those who make laws contrary to the Constitution,
Those who enforce laws contrary to the Constitution,
And those who give orders contrary to the Constitution,
Have become domestic enemies of the Constitution!
It doesn't take a Judge or a lawyer to know the difference!
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."
Marbury vs. Madison
"I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND
DOMESTIC; THAT I WILL BEAR TRUE FAITH AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME; AND
THAT I WILL OBEY THE (CONSTITUTIONAL AND LAWFUL) ORDERS OF THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE (CONSTITUTIONAL AND LAWFUL)
ORDERS OF THE OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER ME, ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS AND
THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE. SO HELP ME GOD."

President Theodore Roosevelts Answer to Diversity!
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. The one
absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing
all
possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit
it
to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.
- Theodore Roosevelt, speech before the Knights of Columbus, 1915, New
York
President Theodore Roosevelts Answer to Bush!
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are
to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
- Theodore Roosevelt
President Theodore Roosevelts Answer to Bush & Congress
"We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our
republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an
absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man
is
honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how
brilliant his capacity." - Theodore Roosevelt

Gang Rivalries Chill Los Angeles

Gang Rivalries Chill Los Angeles
Aug 12 2:30 PM US/Eastern
By ANDREW GLAZER
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES
Alejandro "Bird" Martinez and a crew of fellow gangbangers were
joyriding in
a stolen van when they came upon a black man parking his car _ and
decided
to kill him.
Three of them riddled Kenneth Kurry Wilson and his Cadillac with
bullets
from a .357-caliber revolver and a 9 mm semiautomatic and blasts from a
12-gauge shotgun.
This month, Martinez and three other members of the Avenues, a Hispanic
gang
entrenched in one Los Angeles neighborhood, were convicted of federal
hate
crimes usually tagged on white supremacists.
Although the slaying was seven years ago, the verdict this month was
one in
a series of reminders that racially motivated black and Hispanic gang
violence is still a Los Angeles reality.
While some police, academics and even gang members insist racism isn't
a
factor in the violence, a pair of headline-grabbing killings _ of a
Hispanic
teen by a black assailant described by witnesses as yelling a gang name
as
he fled and a drive-by shooting by a pair of black gunmen who killed
three
Hispanics _ suggest otherwise.
"If it's not race motivated, if it's not gang motivated, then what the
hell
is the motivation?" asked South Los Angeles activist Taylor Mayfield
after
the June 30 drive-by.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca cited tensions between black and
Hispanic gangs as he redeployed deputies to the Compton area, where
four
people were killed in 20 gang shootings during one July weekend. And
the
federal prosecutor who oversaw the Avenues gang case announced plans to
prosecute other gangs involved in race-based violence.
The June 30 slayings prompted black and Hispanic leaders to hold an
emergency discussion of how prevent a bloody back and forth.
"Please talk to your gang members and ask them to bring a truce," South
Los
Angeles activist Eddie Jones appealed to black and Hispanic gang
leaders.
"Stop the shooting and the senseless killing."
There have been few studies of Los Angeles' black-Hispanic gang
violence.
One was completed by University of California, Irvine, professor George
Tita, who reviewed the nearly 500 homicides committed from 1999 to 2004
in
one violent South Los Angeles police district and found almost all were
black-on-black or Hispanic-on-Hispanic.
"The rare events are more newsworthy," he said of gang killings between
Hispanics and blacks.
Police Chief William Bratton has said there was no evidence the June 30
killings were race- or even gang-related _ a position that drew
criticism.
"Look at the history of this town. It went up in flames," said
Assistant
City Attorney Martin Vranicar Jr., who supervises his office's gang
cases.
He was referring to the 1992 race riots that followed a white jury's
verdict
acquitting four white officers of the most serious charges in the
beating of
black motorist Rodney King.
Complicating the current equation are gang members returning from
prison,
where joining a race-based gang is a means of survival. A war between
Hispanic and black prison gangs set off a series of prison riots across
California this year in which two people were killed and more than 100
were
injured.
"The whole racial thing leaks out into the real world," said Joseph
Holguin,
28, who grew up in an East Los Angeles public housing complex as a
member of
the Primera Flats gang.
In the Avenues case, an informant told the FBI the gang had received an
order from the Mexican Mafia prison gang to kill all blacks on sight in
their predominantly Hispanic Highland Park neighborhood. Leading up to
Wilson's murder, members of the Avenues terrorized other blacks,
shooting a
15-year-old boy on a bicycle, pistol-whipping a jogger and drawing
outlines
of human bodies in a black family's driveway.
The last mass outbreak of black-Hispanic gang warfare was in 1993 and
when
two Hispanic gangs took on the black Shoreline Crips, who had cornered
drug
sales in the beach community of Venice. Eleven people were killed in
six
months.
However, a war that began more than 10 years ago in South Los Angeles
with a
fight between a Blood and a member of the mostly Hispanic 18th Street
Gang
continues today.
Los Angeles gang feuds were historically black-on-black, but that
changed in
the 1990s when Hispanic immigrants moved to Compton and South Los
Angeles
homes that middle-class blacks were leaving.
The area was 80 percent black and 20 percent Hispanic in 1980,
according to
an analysis by University of California, Santa Cruz, professor Manuel
Pastor. By 2000, it was 60 percent Hispanic, 40 percent black.
Resentment simmered between the recently arrived Hispanics and black
holdouts.
"They would try to jump me for not being black," said Mario Bonilla, a
22-year-old Mexican immigrant who spent much of his childhood looking
over
his shoulder. "They resent us."
