IS IT TRUE FEBRUARY 13, 2017

10

IS IT TRUE that Evansville went through a change over the past few years and there is both good and bad associated with the changes?…the changes associated with the national election of 2016 happened in Evansville in 2011?…the tipping point for Evansville came when the late great mayoral candidate Rick Davis wiped the good old boy network of the previous democrat leadership out of power?…many good old boys were shocked and amazed at how thin the ice that they were on actually was?…this purging do the old order was a good thing for the City Of Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that downtown Evansville for the first time in many years has less buildings with “available” signs in the windows than there are actual businesses operating?…while the Ford Center has not seemed to have inspired any business growth, the plans to expand the Tropicana Casino to land combined with a Doubletree Hotel, new housing development and a IU Medical School seems to have inspired some economic activity?…growth has been a long time coming and many taxpayer dollars have been used to incentivize this small growth spurt but the jury is still out on whether or not this really sticks this time or not?…it would be quite positive if all of these small start ups thrive, but we shall see over the next several years if this is lasting or just another head fake like the ones from 2007-2008?

IS IT TRUE that the McCurdy Hotel is finally beginning to look like there may be a spark of life on the horizon?…after eight and a half years of false starts and delusional expectations the old girl looks to be on the verge of actually becoming an apartment building as was promised by the mayor of Evansville in the summer of 2008?…reality is finally beginning to show some kindness to downtown Evansville and the City County Observer is pleased to see this positive activity?

IS IT TRUE that 2017 is shaping up to be a very good year economically for the City of Evansville, the State of Indiana, and the United States of America?  …we hope that the many of millions of dollars that Mayor Winnecke have spent or committed to the overall economic development on Downtown, North Main Street and Haynes Corner Arts District will pay off in the long term?

IS IT TRUE we would like to congratulate the news team at Channel 44 News for scooping the so called established mainstream media by two breaking news stories concerning Councilman Weaver legal problems  and the Icemen move to Florida?  ..we highly recommend that you turn you dial to Channel 44 News for the latest breaking news without the political bias spin?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why former Evansville Mayor and Ivy Tech-Evansville Chancellor Jonathan Wienzapfel hasn’t demanded that the soon to built IU Medical School include Ivy Tech 1,500 Medical Tech schools in their plans?

IS IT TRUE in another bizarre show of idiocy, a group of people in Chicago who think they have concocted a solution that will be successful in getting President Trump to release his tax returns? …the solution that this esteemed group of citizens have come up with is to gather at the Trump Tower on the Chicago River and collectively moon the building? …for those of you who do not recognize the term “moon” that means they are planning on all showing their bare butts to the building at the same time?…it would have been truly entertaining to have been a fly on the wall when this plan was hatched?…someone had to seriously start the conversation on how to smoke our Trump’s tax returns by showing their butts?…our prediction since this is expected to be largely a group of women that teenage boys from miles around will go to Chicago to get a glimpse of nirvana and who knows, they may even grab a few?…in all seriousness, the left is loosing it’s collective mind and proving it more every day?…this mooning stunt has about the same chance of getting the President to release his tax returns as any of us has to fly to the moon tonight and bring home a couple of pounds of green cheese?…it is time for a national look in the mirror and maybe some time on a therapist’s couch?…the people showing their butts and parading around in costumes that look like body parts collectively think President Trump needs therapy?…a great person once said “physician heal yourself” and that is desperately needed in the butt flashing brigade?

FOOTNOTE NOTE: Todays ‘READERS POLL” question is  Are you please with the overall progress of Downtown, North Main Street and Haynes Corner Arts District Evansville?

The Moss Liberty Network: A Statement of Values, Beliefs, and Principles

The Moss Liberty Network:
A Statement of Values, Beliefs, and Principles

By Richard Moss MD

The Moss Liberty Network convened recently for its inaugural meeting.  The network is a constitutional, freedom loving organization that embraces liberty, God-given, inalienable rights, and limited government.  It endorses our Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and considers these landmark documents among the greatest achievements of mankind.  They champion, as we do, free speech, religious liberty, the right to bear arms, due process, private property rights, separation of powers, and states rights, also known as federalism.

We uphold the Judeo-Christian foundation of the nation, believe in the sanctity of life, and are defenders of the Enlightenment and Western Civilization. America, we believe, represents the summit of the Western tradition precisely because it is founded on the principles of Judeo-Christian belief, which holds that every individual has inalienable rights based on the biblical injunction (Genesis 1:27) that each of us is created in the image of God.

While other nations maintained longstanding norms and tribal creeds that concentrated power in the hands of one or a few, the framers embraced the opposite – radical, unprecedented ideas such as the rule of law, personal liberty, and free markets that dispersed power away from government and to the individual.
Ours was a nation unencumbered by a history of monarchy, aristocracy, or feudalism. From its inception, our country was founded on liberty and individual sovereignty. As such it became the freest and most prosperous nation on earth, the flower of Western Civilization, and model for the world.

We consider the left a mortal threat to the nation. There exists an unholy alliance between the left and radical Islam to undermine and ultimately overthrow our great and unique nation. We will defend the country against these twin threats. Like-minded individuals should join in our crusade to protect this nation from its myriad threats both from abroad and from within.

We believe that the election of Republican Donald Trump for President was providential and saved the country from slipping into a death spiral from which it would not have recovered.  We support “America First” in all affairs pertaining to American workers, families, and citizens, and in all national and international matters including national security, foreign policy, trade, commerce, resources, jobs, healthcare, energy, education, science, technology, culture, borders, and immigration.  Having said that, we note that the Liberty Network will not shrink from criticizing President Trump if and when he betrays these essential doctrines.

We seek also to strengthen the Republican Party philosophically and morally, to ensure that it upholds constitutional, limited government, and free market principles, and endeavors to restore our culture, language, and traditions.  We understand that the Republican Party is the natural vehicle for limited government, free-market conservatives, but that it has been a very flawed vehicle.  We will carefully monitor its positions, policies, voting record, spending, and general behavior and attitude.  We will demand that it energetically and courageously protect and advance America’s core doctrines.

We will petition the Republican Party to secure our borders, end mass third world immigration, and promote immigration policies that place American interests first, not the interests of immigrants or the often failed nations they are fleeing.

We call for the end to all illegal immigration and a drastic reduction in legal immigration if not a complete moratorium with certain limited exceptions.

We uphold the patriotic, melting pot theory of assimilation, e pluribus unum, from many one, a nation of individuals with one language, culture, and way of life. We demand that prospective immigrants embrace our American system, seminal documents, history, traditions, and guiding principles.

We reject multiculturalism and the cult of “diversity,” and the Pagan-Marxist effort to tribalize the nation into competing races, genders, classes, and ethnicities, a divisive and destructive path.

We believe in a nation of individuals, each with inalienable, God-given, Constitutional rights, not a nation of tribes and victims competing for government favors and preferential treatment.

We will endeavor to restore our schools, colleges, popular culture, media, and other institutions of education, culture, and opinion that enjoy great influence and power over our youth and all Americans so they defend American values and principles as outlined in our founding documents, recognizing the extensive damage already done to these institutions by the Pagan Marxist Left.

Marriage has been and always will be defined as the union of a man and woman based on obvious biological and natural requirements for procreation, which is the ultimate purpose of marriage. We hold that the traditional intact married 2-parent family has been and always will be the indispensable institution upon which a vibrant and robust civil society is based.

We hold that faith and belief in a moral God who judges us, is critical to a healthy and moral society. We believe that this nation is founded on the Judeo-Christian tradition and that America is and always has been a Christian nation – a Christian nation that has welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds to our shores.
The Liberty Network will reach out to all people and communities to join our movement, to embrace liberty, limited government, and individual rights as codified by our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The promotion and advancement of America’s interests and way of life in all things is the Liberty Network’s overriding and foremost concern.
