STOP conceding the XIV-A point to the anti-Americans!

It has been darn near a year since Sophosarchaeus last posted, and months before then that there was ample time to keep up with all the Leftist Propaganda spreading like cancerous weeds on steroids.

But this topic is SO TERRIBLY ABUSED by the Left, and ignorantly, lazily acquiesced to by the Center and Right, and is so very easy to understand and defend...
...it is simpler than the Socialist propagandist fabrication that Hitler and his NationalSozialisten German Workers Party (pronounced auf Deutsch, "NatSeeOwnAl SoteSeeAlIssTen" = NAZIs) "were Right Wing Fascists" [that argument actually came up recently in another forum, and I had to suppress the giggles as the poster was unraveled, weave from weft].  They were, of course Socialists, as this one-of-millions of examples points out:

The only differences between any Socialist and/or Communist group and any other is in the minuteia. Actually seizing (Socializing) businesses and property rather than simply hyper-controlling them; that sort of thing. They all push huge government, macro-control and regulation, minimal individual freedom, no guns, no homosexuality, no religion, yadda-yadda.  Pippins and Granny Smiths.

And everyone has seen one of these - what the National Socialist D.A.P. chose to emboss on their own lapel pins should be (like the Islamic State being ISLAMIC) taken seriously:

Back to the Fourteenth Amendment:

After Republicans passed the Thirteenth Amendment to free the slaves held by 100% Democratic Southern Plantation owners, who had already fomented a Civil War, they also passed thus:
 [emphasis mine]

XIV Amendment (Section one) All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

There's more, but that is the effective (and DEfective) part.

Let's do just a little dissecting, from the  Constitutional language perspective.  It goes really quickly. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States,..." already makes them come under the power of the laws of the U.S., right?  You are here, you obey our laws (unless you are a criminal in a "Gun Free Zone", or an Illegal Alien, or Obama and most other Progressive Socialists).
Moving on...
"...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." Wait. WAIT! doesn't that mean 'you are here you obey our laws'?!?  No, not if you are a 19th century Constitutional writer.  Constitutional provisions are ALWAYS written in the briefest and clearest language possible.  They already dealt with the "you are here" part.  Writings, court arguments, letters and diaries of the crafters of the Amendment prove that the new detail added means 'owing allegiance ONLY to the United States and no other prince or potentate or country'.  No divided loyalty or total loyalty to any foreign entity.

This phrase was actually created by Sen Jacob Howard. If anyone in the world could define what was meant, it will then be Sen Howard.  Howard himself clarified his meaning many times, stating to Congress itself before ratification [again, emphasis mine]...

"...this amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States."

"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

On another occasion, Howard went even further (for recalcitrant Democrats, even then quibbling over what "the definition of 'IS' is") and clarified his already clear intent on the Citizenship clause:

"...ought to be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction on the part of the United States, whether exercised by Congress, by the executive, or by the judicial department; that is to say, the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now."

IN OTHER WORDS, total loyalty and fealty ONLY to the United States, and NOT violating U.S. laws and sovereignty to send U.S. dollars home or live underground and outlawed.  Such loyalty and fealty is NOT found in Illegal Aliens sneaking past our Border Patrol carrying drugs or weapons as payment for the guide services of the coyotes, but in the Oath sworn by every legitimate immigrant. who has applied, waited their turn, did their studying of English and U.S. history and then raises their right hand and says,

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God." 

...doesn't quite sound like infiltrating a foreign country (from your birthplace) to steal OB services to drop a baby, or violating the clear visa expiration date to steal I.D.s or lie on a job application, and send money to the rest of your family IN YOUR FOREIGN HOMELAND, now does it?

The rest of the Amendment goes on to make a clear distinction between Citizens and "any person".  Anyone here can expect fair treatment (due process), even if they are illegal and liable to be deported.  They can insist on their day in court if they don't mind waiting in (safe, clean) detention, or they can waive it and go home immediately. Those who enter legally, of course, can expect to have all the benefits of the Constitution short of those reserved for Citizens (in every country on Earth), like voting or holding office.  NOT ONE WORD even hints at freebies like education or breakfast or non-emergency medical care, let alone preposterous stuff like drivers' licenses or employment (and Citizen/taxpayer paid "transgender therapy"!!) for those who invaded America illegally.

So how did it all get so screwed up?  Several activist judge rulings, crowned by Roosevelt's(D) "packed" SCotus.  In another ruling, just as legitimate and honorable as Dredd-Scott, they just looked at the words and reinterpreted Howard's clear and practical loyalty requirement and decided that it simply meant 'standing on U.S. soil, entitled to all the benefits of loyal Citizens'.  That case, U.S. vs Wong, was over a Chinese merchant family that was in the U.S. lawfully and could stand for the intentions of their son; and even that was shredded by the Chief Justice's dissent.  They were not Illegals who had purposefully invaded and evaded our border and laws simply to game our laws and send money back to their true home over the border.
Y'know, SCotUS decisions (like Dredd-Scott's affirmation that one man may own another man [slavery]) can and have been reversed!  What'cha need is to get Democratic Progressive Socialists OUT of power long enough for rational Americans to set things straight.

Yes...

Yes, indeed:

...Sophosarchaeus is still here.
Yes, there has been a long gap in a long list of gaps (since time [time to consider, time to research and time to find authoritative sources for factual information; but especially time to write cogently and interestingly] is still a resource that is hard to scrape together).
Yes, there are tons of topics that need attention, such as the race-baiting lies coming out of Ferguson, Propagandist media, the White House and Sharpton's & Crumps' falsifying-"facts"-for-fending-focus-from-felonious attack.  Obama and the Progressive Democrats have set back race relations in the U.S. by 50 years.  Yes, Socialists as Domestic Enemies continue to be the biggest threat (on a hundred Alinsky-ish fronts) to America and her allies.
Yes, the Progressives are doing what may be the worst possible job in respect to the huge and growing ISIS ("ISIL" is a term that assumes ownership of everything from Cypress, through Israel and across Jordan) anti-humanity cult.
Yes, the economy has improved; perhaps one year's worth over the last 5.75 years under the Keynesian, Socialist, anti-American, unconstitutional head-in-sand DNC/Progs.

Sophosarchaeus will continue to gather and share facts as time permits.  Meanwhile, everyone else should do the same: find responsible sources of fact, arrange them to explain issues from beginning to end, and then share the story with as wide a circle as they can: FB posts (Twitter tweets tend to be too truncated to educate well) outside the familiar circle of Conservative friends, email replies, letters to editors, polite interruptions to conversations to set facts straight, etc.
Yes, I am serious!

"Experts", when paid for certain findings, will find them.

Some local papers increasingly waste space and insult readers' intelligence with junk “news” like the Cronkite News regurgitation (4-6-14) on “climate change [man made]” and wildfire.  So sad to see more newspapers sinking into “mainstream media”, irrelevance, like the useless rags in most bigger cities. [IMHO, it is this plunge into mindless cloacum, as much as the influence of the Internet, that causes readership to plummet and makes formerly free services like graduation and Eagle announcements and even obituaries cost hundreds of dollars to get published; they are otherwise losing money and must profit from these.]

This fable insists that ‘CO2 kills trees', contributing to wildfires.  This requires volcanic concentrations in the soil, not parts-per-billion atmospheric fluctuations.  Trees (all photosynthetic plants) ‘inhale’ CO2 and ‘exhale’ Oxygen, so this assertion is about as sensible as decreeing that the O2 carried by Hospitals, paramedics and COPD patients is ‘deadly to humans’. Further, the minute ripples in CO2 over recent decades are dwarfed by earlier eras, with no relationship to human activity (i.e., often more growth, less CO2 and/or, more CO2, less warmth).

There are some fanciful pictures with the piece, though; much like other fairy stories.  A thermograph (limited, to avoid inconvenient levels of earlier history) suggests that the hot-spot Hell-hole of the entire American West is …wait for it… from Prescott to Flagstaff! Forget those 'mild' Phoenix and Palm Springs climes.  For you Arizona denizens, do you remember the last 3 winters, before this year’s el Nino?

Another Case in point, the Arizona Daily Sun (Flagstaff) recently decided that 'consensus based upon magazine article observation, CGI (cartoon) footage of glacier calving, disproven "math" based upon forcible "bending" of curves, and closely cropped photos excluding most of a celebration of Polar Bears overrides actual observation of facts [see: http://azdailysun.com/news/opinion/editors-column/between-the-lines-it-s-not-censorship-by-ignoring-those/article_38f02d94-eee1-11e3-8b0b-0019bb2963f4.html].  Thus, there is simply no longer any room for the printing of articles or reader comments, unless they kowtow to the Global Warming fraud's agreement policy. Or, as another demonstrably Left-of-reality and gleefully mindless rag (the Daily Kos) puts it, "there IS NO opposing viewpoint."

 
On the plus side for those that missed it in 2009, a line-graph with the Cronkite News article does show a classic example of the ‘hockey stick’. This conspiratorial math-skewing device pushes actual (or imagined) observations upward toward a desired (not factual) end point.  It was exposed in 1,079 leaked, East Anglia University emails, expressly coordinating suppression of actual science and expounding of Leftist “consensus” (as if physical facts can be ‘voted’ into changing by shouting down or ridiculing other data). Obama’s U.S.P.S. concocted these particular images, since N.O.A.A. no longerplays such games.

The 4-6 “Wizard of Id” comic strip also deals with manufactured “news” and has funny pictures; but it’s in the comics and doesn't demand that a growing majority of intelligent people abandon reality.

But, we now see that when either of the ugly faces of 'truth' or 'fact' is raised, the Left simply bullies or censors their inconvenient realities under the rug.  After all, they interfere with the collection of funds and the aggregation of power.  How scientific!  How journalistic!

Left pretends that "business" loves Common Core brainwashing

 A "news release from Cronkite News” on Feb 22nd defended Federal “Common Core” schooling.  Moriah Costa wrote that "business leaders" (a single usurper in the Arizona Chamber of Commerce) prefer the fact-free, Social Justice indoctrination of future American workers to actual education.  That's because, they say, it will "help the State create a competitive workforce".  Remember, it is not among the enumerated powers to even comment on, let alone dictate education requirements to the sovereign States. That is an ever-growing (thanks to Bush, Clinton and [worst] Obama) violation on Jimmy Carter's hands [there is no "Federal education responsibility" Jimmy!].  And Leftist-based, revisionist systems [educational or economic] have always failed, everywhere they have been tried.  Only slave labor (such as China and NoKor still use) manages to stagger on in a third-rate fashion for a few decades after they exhaust the productive in their societies.  Detroit is an American mini-example:  once the industrial heart of America, but under "enlightened" Leftist/Democrat rule for decades, it is now an economic wasteland and most who can have fled the area.  By comparison, the years of Bush43 were really very prosperous (must be Clinton's fault!)

"Cronkite News" [a revisionist, Propagandist training mill at Arizona State University] has also manufactured false impressions on other issues; they maligned border security, libeled voter integrity and misrepresented reducing debt, etc.  They don’t question Leftist infiltration of Chambers of Commerce and unionized, illegal, Federal strangulation of schools or Socialized 'education' overall.

Common Core itself, like “Hillary-ObamaCare”, has been in the Left’s playbook for many decades.  Unrepentant (as in, “I wish I had done more”) murderer Bill Ayers and his murderous wife Bernadine Dohrn used Communist Alinsky’s ‘clean up, look respectable’ model for their Annenberg Challenge in Chicago schoolsicagoschoolsCh. They recruited ‘community organizer’ Obama to “radicalize schools” in the 90’s.  Ayers boasted (parroting Lenin), “Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world.”  In 2012 Ayers claimed, “…absolute access" to the community, the school, the classroom. 

Obama added Pedophilia activist Kevin Jennings to the mix as his "School Safety Czar" and used his executive "pen"...
...ta-da: Common Core!

Some features of Common Core, which Costa and Chamber of Commerce infiltrator Hamer claim will somehow produce better, more productive businesspeople:
- Teachers’ Edition requires explaining the [revisionist] term ‘fascist’ to students and instructing that “fascist is now applied to all right-wing groups.”

- Required reading Barack Obama (by Leftist Jane Sutcliff)  “…Americans weren’t ready for that much change.  …white voters would never vote for ablack president” and, “Barack’s former pastor called the country a failure. Godwould damn the United States for mistreating its black citizens, he said.”

- 4^th grade worksheet: ‘…Government is your family and will take care of you’.  The illustration is of UncleSam holding a “citizen” like a baby.

-  4^th grade English teaches ‘Pimps’ and ‘Mobstaz’, because sexual gangster terms and Ebonics syntax and spelling will help in business.
- Possessive nouns worksheet deals exclusively with illegal Presidential powers and the need to "obey government".

- Teachers’ Edition decrees “4 x3 can equal 11” as long as future engineers or bankers rationalize their steps [it is only under this kind of rubbish that Socialist/Keynesian "economics" work - until they collapse at an average of 65 years].

- High School Literature worksheet: a woman intentionally deforms her unborn children to sell to freakshows after birth. Progressives’ heroic model of “womens’ rights”, standing up to ‘unfair norms’, right?
- The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are flawed and "being reviewed" in America; 'add, delete or rewrite a few rights' to see how easy it is.
- The Second Amendment is rewritten as "people have the right to certain weapons" [instead of "arms" - unrestricted] and only if they register them [instead of "shall not be infringed"].
Most of these outrages are only made public when shocked parents discover them in their childrens' homework; it is happening now.  Of course, Cronkite News and the rest of Obamedia never even acknowledge such disturbing FACTS.

Even Liberal CBS reports that Leftist Maryland teachers don’t approve.  They dislike C.C. “fuzzy math”; tortuousmethods replacing sensible ones and decreeing wrong answers as correct.  Also, ignoring fact and enforcing tests “rather than have kids explore the curiosity of learning.”
