| Amnesty Costs 70 Times More Than Enforcement Most illegal aliens are unskilled or low-skilled. The Nobel Prize-winning, liberal economist Paul Krugman has written, "Unfortunately, low-skill immigrants don't pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they receive.” That means American taxpayers must heavily subsidize the costs of services to newcomers. The financial burden on taxpayers occurs in many ways,...... The cost of amnesty: $999 billion. The cost of attrition by enforcement: as little as $14 billion. Amnesty would cost up to 70 times as much as enforcing existing law. Source: The Heritage Foundation Summary: The Heritage Foundation issued two studies in 2007 pointing out that the big problem with mass legalization is that (a) most illegal aliens are low-skilled and therefore do not earn enough money to pay enough taxes to cover the government benefits they receive; and (b), amnesty would eventually make them eligible for the full array of welfare and medical benefits offered by local, state and federal governments. They found the cost of allowing illegal aliens to remain in the United States, and eventually to become citizens, would be $3.7 trillion through the year 2056. That works out to a present cost of $1 trillion, at a 5 percent discount rate. In other words, immediately upon passage of an amnesty bill, the United States government would need to put $1 trillion into an investment earning 5 percent per year if it were honest about paying for the costs of amnesty.

| May 12, 2009 Coastal Viewpoint DANGER The radical agenda of the homosexual, transsexual, and sex industry movement is poised to move forward in the U.S. Senate this week. H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate companion bill, S. 909, may see a vote before Memorial Day. Homosexual activists are pushing this bill and now have gained 41 co-sponsors. That is DANGEROUS for our freedoms. This one bill could do more to destroy Christian America than any bill in our history. If passed, this legislation would massively increase federal jurisdiction over virtually every purported "hate crime" EVEN THOUGH state criminal laws already address all the necessary penalties for the criminal activities cited in the hate crimes legislation. The true purpose of the "hate crimes" movement is to gain official government sanction for deviant sexual behaviors and provide legal minority status, special rights, and a great deal of federal funding providing legal advantages in the courts. No longer will free speech be tolerated IF the Biblical point of view is stated - that homosexuality is sin. Gone is the freedom of speech if this bill passes. This legislation transgresses one of the fundamental principles stated by Thomas Jefferson, that the power of the magistrate only reaches overt acts, not beliefs! The measure also strikes two crippling blows to the American system of equal justice under the law. The measure would allow unequal penalties for the same crime any time a court found that a defendant was “motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived . . . sexual orientation [or] gender identity . . . of the victim.” Just as sobering is the fact that the legislation also allows the federal Department of Justice to uniquely investigate and prosecute defendants accused of hate-crimes, thus creating unequal prosecution of defendants accused of similar crimes and unequal “justice” for crime victims. And, just as important, the constitutional check on power, the ingenious federal design carefully constructed by the Founders that preserved to the States their own sovereign powers, would suffer yet another blow from the growing centralized authority of the national government. Once federal criminal hate-crime laws supplant state criminal statutes, local and State representative government would bow to even more politically-correct dictates out of Washington. Alliance Defense Fund attorney Kevin Theriot pointed out, “All violent crimes are hate crimes, and all crime victims deserve equal justice. So-called ‘hate crime’ laws actually serve only one purpose: The criminalization of citizens based on whatever thoughts, beliefs, and emotions they have that are not considered to be ‘politically correct.’ No one should fall for the idea that this bill does anything to bring about greater justice for Americans.” OUTRAGEOUS!! The bill also provides a back door to expand that punishment beyond the scope of violent crimes to even “include speech that causes someone to ‘feel’ intimidated ...” because of their “actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation…” through its incorporation of the “hate crime” definition of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. And because the bill actually serves to amend Title 18, Chapter 13, the Crimes and Criminal Procedure for Civil Rights code, verbal intimidation (however the courts may decide to define it) that impacts any federally-protected activity may be prosecutable. This list seems almost inexhaustible even including “applying for or enjoying employment, or any perquisite thereof, by any private employer,” “enjoying the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any . . . establishment . . . which serves the public . . .”, or even intimidating or interfering with a person “qualifying or campaigning as a candidate for elective office.” In any of these situations individuals could easily claim all manner of “intimidation or interference” based on “actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation…” ACTION: Call Georgia U.S. Senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss immediately and ask them to filibuster S. 909 or any hate-crimes legislation reaching the Senate floor.

| June 1, 2009 MONDAY From a major Russian newspaper: "American capitalism gone with a whimper" by Stanislav Mishin It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists. CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE ARTICLE |
| May 2, 2009 Coastal Viewpoint THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF USA Any financial statement (or condition) is a matter of money in and money out. Please forgive that simple but very true statement because most people in the USA simply don't "get it". So if it takes a simple statement to explain the situation, then so be it. Let's discuss one of the major "money out" situations that we face. Sit down for this. The best estimate of the total US pension liabilities is $99 trillion. Yep, unbelievable. Who could state this wild eyed number?? None other than Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank has made this statement. If it doesn't shock you, you really don't get it. In a speech at the Kennedy School of Government in February, Richard Fisher expressed real concern about "the very deep hole [our political leaders] have dug in incurring unfunded liabilities of retirement and health-care obligations" that "we at the Dallas Fed believe total over $99 trillion." (reference: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124303024230548323.html ) ......................................................................... The best response we have read comes from Dr. Doug Walker. Dr. Walker has written (May 29, 2009): "Perhaps the reason many banks remain in distress and output and employment continue to contract despite the strong policies implemented to reverse the decline is that the narrative related above about the causes of the crisis is wrong. While it is true that a housing bubble burst and the financial sector froze, this may not be the most important cause of our current problems. CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE ARTICLE |

In no other small tract of land can one find so many traces of all the epochs that make up the history of coastal Georgia. From the days of Indian occupation, through Oglethorpe’s military era, plantation days, Civil War, lumber mills, and on to present-day life, Gascoigne Bluff has played an important part. Located on a bend in the Inland Waterway, Frederica River, this bluff, about a mile long, offered vessels the first landing place after they entered the harbor. Throughout the changing scenes it has been the gateway to St. Simons Island. The many refuse piles, or kitchen middens, left here by the Indians, attest the popularity of this site when the Indians roamed these lands unmolested. These were of Muskhogean stock and the Spaniards called them Guale Indians, while to the English they were known as the Creeks. France, Spain, and England laid claim to this territory, with France the first to attempt colonization. In 1562 French Huguenots, led by Ribaut, settled Port Royal in what is now South Carolina, a settlement which was soon abandoned. Two years later another settlement, led by Laudonniere, was made on the south bank of the St. Johns River in Florida and called Fort Caroline. These settlements aroused Spain who sent her ablest seaman, Pedro Menendez de Aviles, to rout the French and hold the lands. Menendez founded St. Augustine in 1565 and destroyed the French, the following year exploring the coast of Georgia and of South Carolina. He brought Jesuit priests to found missions among the Indians; later, the Jesuits were replaced by the Franciscans. Three of these mission settlements were located on St. Simons Island, one of them—San Simon—giving the island its name. British raids brought an end to these missions and in 1686 Spain withdrew all of her settlements north of the St. Marys River. With Charles Town, South Carolina, as Britain’s most southern settlement and with the Spaniards south of the St. Marys River, the area which is now Georgia was an abandoned land and for half a century it remained so.... The founding of the Colony of Georgia in 1733 was Britain’s challenge to Spain’s claim to this land and the building of Fort Frederica (1736) and Fort St. Simons (1738) on St. Simons and Island and Fort St. Andrews and Fort William on Cumberland Island gave proof that the British planned to make their claim hold. A regiment of British soldiers brought over in 1738 manned these fortifications and Fort Frederica became the headquarters of this Southern Frontier for all of Britain’s provinces in North America. The settlers who founded Frederica set sail from England in the fall of 1735 in two vessels, Symond and London Merchant, and were convoyed by the British sloop-of-war Hawk, commanded by Captain James Gascoigne. This was known as ‘The Great Embarkation,’ being the largest group of settlers ever to leave the shores of the Mother Country for the purpose of settling in the Colony of Georgia. These vessels brought the men, women, and children of the forty families who were Frederica’s first settlers; and, in addition, were colonists who went to Savannah, a group of Salzburgers who went to Ebenezer, and a number of Moravians who joined their brethren at Irene. It was on this voyage that John and Charles Wesley, with two of their followers—Charles Delamotte and Benjamin Ingham—came to Georgia. John Wesley had charge of the religious affairs of the Colony and remained in Georgia for a year and nine months. During this time he made five trips to Frederica and spent many weeks there. Charles Wesley was stationed at Frederica for three months, serving as secretary to Oglethorpe and as minister for the Frederica settlement. Captain Gascoigne established his headquarters at the bluff which bears his name. He was granted five hundred acres of land where he established a plantation and built for himself ‘a convenient house’ and many other buildings. In addition, Oglethorpe built a storehouse at Gascoigne Bluff which was used for public stores. Hawk, a twenty-gun ship, with a crew of seventy men, as well as its tender, Ranger, and other vessels, were stationed here for the protection of the coast of Georgia. In addition to his duty of protecting the coast, Gascoigne was directed to survey the coast and harbors and chart the area for the British Admiralty, this being the first such survey ever made of this coast...."
