Alachua County, FL, the home of the University of Florida, has gotten out of ICLEI, according to this report by the Gainesville TP: Apparently County Commissioner Susan Baird is a friendly voice (wonder if she was audited?): Dearest Friends of the County and the world, My greatest wish (among so many others…) is for the […]

I am blogging today from the beautiful Big Stone Gap area and the mountains are majestic and the fight for liberty here is awesome. There is a wonderful effort to honor the founding of country (and bluegrass) music in Southwest Virginia. The Crooked Road is a tourism initiative to help visitors to appreciate the efforts […]

I have contended for some time that ICLEI has a foreign policy. The Constitution forbids states and local governments from conducting foreign policy goals. And as the Lord Jesus once said, “…for by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Matthew 12:37 [KJV]) Here it is from ICLEI USA’s own blog! (Michael Schmitz is the Executive […]

I write in frustration with the Herald Progresses (HP) repeated OpEd publication of the opinions of Ragan Phillips. While he has every right to voice his opinion, when the HP continues to highlight his factually incorrect opinions, I wonder if the HP is truly interested in the facts or merely selling controversy? How many times […]

I blogged on this before and here’s the pertinent part of the ICLEI Charter (with my thoughts in bold): (7) Adopt patterns of production, consumption, and reproduction that safeguard Earth’s regenerative capacities, human rights, and community well-being. This means ABORTION! (9) Eradicate poverty as an ethical, social, and environmental imperative. This means statist and socialistic […]

I am pleased that Roanoke County again considered its membership in ICLEI. But the result was the same: Still members of the unconstitutional confederation of world cities with foreign policy goals. But the Roanoke Times is pleased! The Times still tells its readers the lie that ICLEI is the harmless fuzzball (nod to Rush Limbaugh) […]

If I hear another DAMN LIBERAL try to defend Barack Obama’s “You didn’t build that business” I am going to need duct tape for my head. To say I am taking his statement of context is COMPLETE BULLSHIT! He said what he meant and he means what he said! Barack Obama believes that the Government facilitated each […]

Here’s a summary of how ICLEI thought the Rio+20 Conference went. There was (thank The Lord of Hosts!) few substantive accomplishments. But ICLEI once again convicted themselves of unconstitutional foreign policy actions: Do cities have to step in where governments are failing to take effective action? Cities are cooperating internationally without borders, without customs, without […]

Once again, ICLEI nailed itself in one of its own documents: This Delegation Briefing (here’s the copy from ICLEI website) for the what appeared to have failed (Praise God!)

There is a fair amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth on the Arizona immigrant decision and some of the teeth are mine! But there is some useful supportive language in favor of it being unconstitutional for municipalities and local governments to conduct foreign policy. And that means only one thing: ICLEI is indeed unconstitutional […]

In a column in the Montgomery (AL) Advertiser, two research fellows at the (you guessed it) Southern Poverty Law Center have raised the ultimate fear of not being a member of ICLEI: No grant money for sustainability!

The Tennessee anti-ICLEI bill was withdrawn by its sponsor and the anti-smart growth bill defeated in committee, according to the Tennessean: Womick took House Bill 3571 off notice Wednesday, meaning it will not be considered again this year.
