Indiana State Senator Vows to Fight IN Supreme Court Decision Allowing Random Illegal House Searches
It’s good to know that not everyone is asleep at the wheel when it comes to the Constitutions of Indiana and the U.S.
Predictably, there are those in law enforcement eager to take advantage of the Indiana State Supreme Court’s ruling last week that forbids citizens of Indiana from resisting illegal home invasions by police, who also no longer need a warrant to enter a home (courtesy of a separate decision by the Court last week.)
According to Newton County Sheriff, Don Hartman Sr., random house to house searches are now possible and could be helpful following the Barnes v. STATE of INDIANA Supreme Court ruling issued on May 12th, 2011. When asked three separate times due to the astounding callousness as it relates to trampling the inherent natural rights of Americans, he emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal.

Today in history, Clara Barton and Adolphus Solomons founded the American National Red Cross, the non-profit, volunteer-run organization that is synonymous with disaster relief.
What’s happening today where you live? If life looks good for you today, you may want to throw a few dollars at the Red Cross to help those across the US who are suffering.
Israel: Just The Latest To Go Under Obama’s Bus
Israel is just the latest…over the last three years, Barak Hussein Obama has thrown countless people, organizations, and U.S. allies under the bus, while rolling out the red carpet to known America-hating Communists, fascists, union thugs, and foreign dictators.
If America still exists 20 years from now, it will only be because of what each of us does to save her over the next 36 months.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
–Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984) was a Protestant pastor and social activist (from WikiQuote.com)
It’s time to speak out…while we still can.
Democrat Congressman: Obama Shredding the Constitution
We like to recognize intellectual honesty and support of the Constitution wherever we find it. Today we found it here: Dem: Obama “Bringing Democracy To Libya While Shredding The Constitution”.
According to the War Powers Act, passed during the Vietnam era, the President has 60 days to get Congressional approval of any military action, or the action has to stop within 30 days.
In an interview with CNN, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-California, says that Obama is trying to “bring democracy to Libya while shredding the Constitution of the United States.”
Kudos to Rep. Sherman for standing up for the rule of law.
Blue Team Action Item: Find Great Tea Party Videos on YouTube
Here’s an easy Action Item for the Blue Team (Research).
Videos are incredibly powerful when it comes to influencing public opinion. We all have friends and family members we can’t talk to about politics, but maybe we can reach them with comedy. And we all just need to laugh sometimes, too, to keep up our own morale.
We’d like to build a library of pro-America, pro-Tea Party, anti-Leftist videos to include with our Daily Open Threads. They don’t have to be tied to a specific candidate. But they do have to be clever, thought-provoking, and ideally, educational. Something that may demonstrate to a “moderate” or “independent” friend how dangerous BHO and his policies are to America.
So, the next time you’re on YouTube, take a couple of minutes to search for inspirational/entertaining videos, and post them in this thread.
Here’s a good one to start:

Barak Hussein Obama Throws Israel Under Bus – Breaking News
UPDATE 5/20/2011: Fox News has good coverage of the White House meeting between Netanyahu and the non-Muslim Barak Hussein Obama here: Netanyahu Smacks Down Obama During White House Meeting; Exposes Nobel Peace Prize Winner as Naive Foreign Policy Amateur
Barak Hussein Obama, who is not a Muslim, has thrown long-time U.S. ally Israel under the bus.
In a “radical departure” from U.S. policy, Barak Hussein Obama, who is not a Muslim, declared in a stunning speech today that Israel should swap land for “peace,” and opined that “peace talks” should start with an Israeli withdrawal to 1967 borders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman Mark Regev, reached just after the speech, “sounded as though he had been slapped in the face,” according to Fox News:
While the idea of using the 1967 borders as a starting point to negotiate land swaps for a final peace deal is not new, hearing an American president use those words sent chills through the Netanyahu government, which is loathe to even think the words “’67 borders.”
Every Israeli television channel carried the speech live and commentators did not have to wait for a formal reaction to the speech to comment that Netanyahu and his right-wing coalition government would feel both blindsided and abandoned by a U.S. administration that has never been viewed as a friend.
Barak Hussein Obama (who is not a Muslim) kicked Israel to the curb just days before an Israeli delegation is scheduled to arrive in Washington to meet with Teh Won.
This kind of behavior is not unusual for Barak Hussein Obama, who is not a Muslim. In 2010, Teh Won publicly embarrassed Netanyahu by not posing for pictures with him during a visit.
Gold Team Action Item: Create a Music Video of “The Bonny Gadsden Flag”
The Gadsden Flag
H/T to brilliant Hillbuzzer Dave for getting up off the sofa and putting down his Pepsi.
Now here’s a fun project for Gold Team members: take Dave’s excellent lyrics, and the tune to “The Bonny Blue Flag,” and make a music video.
You don’t have to be a musical genius or animator to make a movie. If you have a Mac, iMovie came installed on it. If you have a PC, there are ways to add a music track to a PowerPoint. Knowing the Internet, there are probably website that allow you to upload your files and turn them into movies.
Here’s an example of a low-budget but very clever and effective parody, that is simply slides set to a soundtrack.
Here are Dave’s lyrics:
The Bonny Gadsden Flag
“We are a band of brothers
And native to the soil,
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toil;
And when our rights were threatened,
The cry rose near and far–
“Hurrah for the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar!”
CHORUS: Hurrah! Hurrah!
Individual rights hurrah!
Hurrah for the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.
While the D.C elite,
Were faithful to their trust,
Like friends and like brothers
Both kind were we and just;
But now, when Federal treachery
Attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
First gallant Rick Santelli
cried out from the exchange,
The people followed quickly,
rejecting this new “change”.
Alaska’s native daughter,
inspired many more
All raised on high the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
Ye men of valor, gather round
The banner of our fight;
From home to halls of Congress
The statist foe we smite.
We shall oppose the president,
his cronies and his czars;
Now rally round the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
And then in old Virginia–
progressives met their fate–
Along with blue New Jersey
showed reforms can not wait;
Impelled by their example,
Now other states prepare
To hoist on high the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
Then cheer, boys, cheer;
Raise the joyous shout,
The two-ten midterms proved our case
There is no remaining doubt;
And let another rousing cheer
For freedom’s light be given,
“Don’t tread on me” from the Gadson Flag
Flys proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
Then here’s to our Republic,
Strong are we and brave;
Like patriots of old we’ll fight
Our rule of law to save.
And rather than submit to shame,
To die we would prefer;
So cheer for the Gadson Flag
Fly proudly from our spar.–CHORUS
Here’s a YouTube video that includes the original version of the song, which was written during the Civil War. It’s a Confederate song about southern State’s Rights. I’m sure there’s someone in the Buzzverse who can help turn this into a rallying cry for patriots everywhere.
