Evil From Frederick County
Over three years ago we moved to Frederick County and have been delighted with the agricultural culture, the rural lifestyle, and a constitutional sheriff as law enforcement. Like anywhere though, all is not good in Frederick County. SB 40, introduced by our own Senator Young, and cross filed by Delegate Clagett as HB 171, entitled, “Motor Vehicle Administration- Organ Donation- Presumed Consent”, strips our inalienable right to life.
With the bill’s presupposition that the State owns your organs, this bill, will allow the medical, transplant business complex to harvest your vital organs, before clinical death, without your consent. It strips our right to life until natural death, and requires a person to request that one’s right to life not be trampled. This bill is arrogantly offensive and makes one wonder how these sponsors can justify this bill with our constitution. This bill is evil.

Levels of Disagreement?
Last night about thirty politically concerned citizens met in Annapolis at the Maryland Republican Headquarters, to discuss formation of a chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus.
Del Joe Boteler and Del Rick Impallaria spoke about: building the Republican Party, “all politics is local”, Churchill’s quote: “never, never, never give-up”, foreign entanglements, and the frustrations of being in the minority in a big spending liberal state. They spoke fondly of our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Steve Wright, Harford County Central Committee and Rt. 40 Republican Club, mentioned that most patriotic statesmen and women would disagree on something.
He is correct. I disagree with the State Party’s inability to criticize the national leaders, attack their policies, and to make a clear statement that reflects the obvious sellout of our nation by both national parties, and the media.
I may have missed it but:
Has McCain been properly discarded by the Maryland Republican Party for his support of the $700 billion bailout?
Has the Maryland Republican Party publicly complained that President Bush has violated Posse Comitatus?
Has the Maryland Republican Party made a public statement about our loss of personal liberties, our foreign entanglements, and the constitutional problems with the Federal Reserve?
During our second round of introductions, I shared that three of my grown children came home to work the polls during the election. Each one confessed that the “Republican” label was a negative, and immediately ended most conversations. We need to converse, and talk about liberty is long overdue. “Politics may be local”, but when our national party: is supporting measures that contradict our principles, is not protecting your rights, and is damaging the good name of the state parties, where is the outrage?
Ultimately, the question for Ron Paul supporters, is how much disagreement can one withstand amidst the levels of one’s “own” party: national, state, caucus, and local?
