I am the first born in Texas. My great grandmother sold furs to the Soviet elites and her family held land in Kiev since the days of Katherine the Great.I can date my father\'s line from 1415 and we have a coat of arms that just says \"Mordecai the Furrier\" and our symbol is the chinchilla.I remember my grandmother having a few in a cage, and she always said, \"Child this is how it has been done forever and it gives us luck in business. I guess so...But when the Communists took over they took it all. She had to have TRAVELING VISAS to be in the Furrier\'s guild. When she saw the rise of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, revolution rife in the streets of Kiev, she made her move and my father was born in Germany, my aunt in Poland, my grandfather in Transylvania and my brother--being 20 yrs older than myself--and I are first native born Texans. They all came here in the early \'20\'s when my dad was just three. But they didn\'t come over on an immigrant\'s ship, but on a luxury liner into the Gulf in Galveston Bay. My Dad couldn\'t even pass the 3rd grade because he didn\'t speak the language, but he made beautiful furs for the Hollywood elites for over 52+yrs with my beloved Grandmother, Hannah, for whom my 24 yr old daughter is named after. He flew directly under General MacArthur,and he was a spry 94 yr old when the Vet hospital killed him. That is the last day I will ever touch an American flag. I am a very embarrassed and ashamed American, but a fiercely unreconstructed Republic of Texan. The day he died, the story broke. His nurse even copied his records for me.The only three flags I will fly are the Confederate, Lone Star and the Israeli flags. I have a BA in Education and another in History with a field minor in Historical Research.I did my Clinician\'s work for my Historical Research in the Archives and Documents section in the basement of the Alamo. As a student at San Antonio College, I learned quickly instructors did not teach students HOW to write their papers; after graduating from Southwest Texas State, I went to work at San Antonio College, but soon had a vision and and a vehicle for getting student papers done worry free. I was the first company ever of its kind to hang a gigantic sign over my building--my Dad had properties all over the city for rent and one was rented by a sign company--and they all said,\"But you can\'t do that,\" or \"I\'ll never work.\" But as soon as that sign was hoisted up on that building, I never looked back(and this is before the Internet or PC). It takes years to become a wordsmith and even longer to be able to be an editor and a writer at the same time. I do student writing, editing and research papers and also edit for those wishing to publish.The current book I am working on is for a great writer and it is tentatively called \"Liberty Defined.\" I have written two books myself, one a long while ago, and and am working on one now, but I have written another one which I wouldn\'t dare publish it until after Obama is long,long gone. UPDATE: Since reading my Governor\'s book, I see he has taken my subject and ran it. He listed everything that King George III did to the colonists, but he left out two that I said it would be a safe bet that he wouldn\'t do those also and damned if he didn\'t! Abbott had already published his book, the last two? During Operation Jade Helm, two ranchers said they would have none of it when the military wanted to put 100 Humvee\'s on their land. They did it anyway. Their reasoning? \"Those ranchers were being too unreasonable and wee offered to pay them!). The last thing was during his speech to the nation, the exact time I may add, Iran had hijacked our ship claiming they had went into Iranian waters! I say this was all orchestrated to make the sheeple see Iran in more of a \"kinder\" face. I talked to one sailor who had sailed on that exact model ship. He told me that even if every man/woman on that ship died, that ship would make it back to the port it left. Yeah, they gave us back our people...ON THEIR KNEES! An arranged red flag for sure, but that is, by the way, arresting our people on the high seas. My book was named King George IV manifesto and I was afraid if I put mine out I would suffer the same fate of the author of Obama\'s America. But it looks as though Abbott beat me to the punch. My company has been in continuous business for 30+ yrs. Please read my MISSION STATEMENT at www.theeditingchair.com I am very politically active, met with the Governor of Texas, Gregg Abbott last week because we do not believe we have the time to wait to vote for secession in 2016,(we do not have to secede, just REVERT BACK TO OUR FORMER STATUS AS THE NATION OF TEXAS, est 1836. If counted as a nation again, our GNP would come out at 12th in the world, just behind Canada and Russia. Not too shabby huh? We, like the Americans, do have a DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Abbott is leading the charge for a Convention of States and his book gives all the reasons to the naysayers, Hell, if we would have listened to the naysayers then, we would have no Bill of Rights now. Anyway, I was raised an Orthodox Jew(probably the only kid in America who did not get to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings). I had to go to years of Hebrew and Hebrew History school. I believe I am an expert at WWII on both sides, every battle, the names of every commander on both sides. I speak Spanish and Hebrew. All I have to say, is when a country begins to cry out, \"Bring Back America,\" \"Let\'s Make America great again,\" etc., it is already lost. I am lucky to be a Republic of Texan. We have our own power grid, have total control over FT Hood and FT Bliss, have our own power grid, we have the most liberal(I use that term loosely) open carry laws in the nation, fully 3/4 of the nation\'s natural oil and gas comes to them courtesy of our pipelines that originate here in the Lone Star State.(They really should have built the Keystone instead of show voting for the idiots back home). But Texas will give them their natural gas and oil...if they promise not to move down here. We are sitting on more of the nation\'s natural gas and oil than we previously believed thanks to new technology. 1/3 of all the world\'s oil rigging is done right off out OUR GULF OF MEXICO at Galveston Bay. Our great Houston Shipping Authority in what is the 3rd largest city, Houston is another fantastic outlet. We have a balanced budget, my governor has assured me we have a full to overflowing Rainy Day fund, we just voted ourselves lower property taxes, a \"No Toll\" Texas. We also voted for the following that angers Obama to no end and blows kisses at the EPA: \"All citizens have the inalienable right to hunt(what do you hunt with?) fish and to harvest wildlife as a means of conservation. All laws of trespass still apply and no shooting off of guns in populated areas.\" It isn\'t the wild wild West, but we are safer for it. It is not surprising to see people walking down the streets with AR15\'s strapped to their backs, our vets, police, et al could walk into battle yesterday. We have a TX Air, TX Navy, TX Coastguard, TX Guard--answerable only to the Governor--TX Rangers, TX militias and TX Oathkeepers, The Bandidos Motorcycle Club have already said they would defend Texas with their sacred lives if need be, TX III%s, TX Oathkeepers made up entirely of vets from Afghanistan and Iraq, and don\'t ever forget the citizenry\'s own firepower. We feel that greed, lies, and the quest for power is what killed the US govt. And we here in the Republic of Texas have some great people up front to take the lead. When I just saw a man with a gigantic rainbow bow on a soldier\'s helmet, commemorating the newest General who is gay, I feel sorry for them as it would be morally wrong to send them out with such a depleted fleet,one soldier said they actually had to go rummaging the museums to get parts for planes. Now that is a sad state of affairs. The Muslims will take no prisoners with them. (Today, I heard they tied 1 Egyptian \"spies\" and lowered them into a vat of Nitrous Acid)! I also talked to a vet who said that they are a band of brothers and to introduce a woman into the mix is just deadly. All of the vets and ex vets and the police are with us, including the police who are quitting by the hundreds,the military arm in Texas of the Tea Party, River City Tea Party Patriots, the Texas Oathkeepers and the elusive, but deadly The Yellow Rose of Texas, and let us never forget that we were the first to totally defund PPH and a woman has to watch her child in her womb for 90 minutes before she gets an abortion. 98%, after watching their child, do not get one. But that was just struck down in TEXAS v THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, but we did win in TEXAS v THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the incoming FAKEUGEES, which in essence stopped hundreds of thousands of them being bused to a city or town near you. Greg Abbott began that before he won the Governorship. I was in Austin teaching a Young Leaders and Policy Makers Seminar when I chanced by Wendy Davis\' \"Battleground Texas\" filibuster. I have never seen such a bunch of pink clad, hysterical and psychotic women in all of my life! But all they saw out of their efforts was in their rear view mirrors which as it says on every TX highway sign, \"DON\'T MESS WITH TEXAS,\" and Greg Abbott was sworn in shortly thereafter. You see, we here in The Republic of Texas do not want the national sins of gay marriage and abortion on our heads when God has so protected and blessed us with everything we need. Since then we just lost the case of TEXAS v THE UNITED STATES in abortion, but I feel if they have \"sanctuary cities\" where they do not have to enforce laws, why can\'t we claim the same, we shouldn\'t have to listen to them, but our Lt. Governor who I endlessly campaigned for, Dan Patrick, says we do not want it said we have not done this or have not enforced that when all hits the fan.I am also 1st member of the 21st district of the county of Bexar (pronounced \"Bear\") under Representative Lamar Smith, who is an ally with us against immigration and abortion. I So, I met with our Governor again, at a Barnes & Noble\'s to get my copy of his new book,\"Broken but not Unbowed.\" It is a signed copy and they were filming, so I have pics!I have never seen such a large touring van, painted all in black and it says only \"Broken but not Unbowed.\" I have a meeting with the Southwestern Regional Division of Hillsdale College who will be here on college business at the end of the month. I have been lobbying for EVERY TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR for it to be MANDATORY for them to take Constitution 101 % 201 for it is FREE from Hillsdale for all schools to use and all they need are their books. Because we are 12 yrs behind as it is, and we want our kids to know the truth when they get onto those indoctrination dens they call higher education. Hey, I get it, as a Student Democrat for a free society,\" I was radicalized early but was more of an Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin hippie/Yippie than a Black Panthers one. I had girlfriends whose older brothers were taken out of high school and sent to Vietnam only to come back home in body bags before their 19th birthday.Then came Kent State Massacre. That\'s why I was a Democrat for a Free Society. My heroes were Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. They were not commies,more anarchists than anything but the Antiwar Movement brought us all together; but the professors I met sure as Hell were. I knew a lot of Communists and most all of them were school teachers who NEVER called themselves except to \"the few\" any thing other than Left Wing voting Democrat Progressives.(My such a long name for such an old ideology). They bemoaned the fact that the schools were too old fashioned to do much indoctrination, but look at them go now. College kids who could in no wise be called \"Culturally Literate\" with absolutely no knowledge of the fundamental differences between the parties and I do not mean any pro this and anti that\'s for those are social issues. I recently did a research project I called the Achilles Heel of the Republican/Conservative party, and started at a subject cutoff of 200 people from every walk of live you can think of, in fact,\"Before It\'s News\"published it, but as I was typing quickly, I usually do not proofread for websites. Well that was surely a mistake for this is the 2nd time you published it. It is deeply comforting to the Communists, kids not being able to understand anything, but as Khrushchev said,\"Your children will be Communists,\" he also said that one morning Americans will awaken to find they are living under Communism. Even someone I would never quote, but will in this instance, Ayn Rand said that Socialism is Communism by the vote, Communism is Communism by force, they are basically the same.\" I do believe her. But, as Churchill said, \"If you are not Liberal when you are younger, and Conservative when you are older, then you are not a political animal.\" He saw it in Roosevelt\'s tenure as was a Progressive Democrat, probably the worst of them all, Churchill believed that it was a really bad thing to forego a country who has lived very well under a Constitutional government undoing the very thing that made us great. But, I am just updating my profile, and am really upset that after 9+yrs in university,that I was never taught the Constitutional tenets nor the founders in any real sense. Thanks to Hillsdale College and their free online courses, my next one is Churchill\'s Trials,\" I have already bought the book for I want the next book I write to be about the two greatest diplomats of the 20th &21 century\'s, Netanyahu and Churchill, so it will be a great source. But we really need the Constitution taught badly and YESTERDAY,for if we do not get this going, they will be ruling us. But, then again, I live in the freest part of the country. I just heard that Nicki Haley is making it mandatory for her high school seniors to have to take one year of the Constitution. Now I have emailed my leaders that WE ARE TEXAS and we can\'t let her state beat us to it, also we would be doing our children a sad disservice if we let them graduate with no understanding. I can already see it in my mind\'s eye exactly what will happen to them the moment they are given the keys to their dorm rooms! P.
