City of Lincoln

Why Process Matters

Rule of Law paradigm JPG

A great deal has been said in the Lincoln Journal Star and elsewhere about the "fairness" ordinance passed by the Lincoln City Council. It is a great mistake to say that the process by which the Council amended the ordinance does not matter. It matters a great deal. Read more »

Why Every Lincoln Voter Should Sign Referendum Petition

Consolation of the Austrian Monarchy on the death of Emperor Leopold II

As many Lincolnites know, a referendum petition effort has been organized in response to the Lincoln City Council's vote on Monday, May 14, 2012 to create protection for a new class of persons based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Members of the City Council subverted the rule of law in multiple ways. Read more »

Occupy Lincoln Shanty Town: City of Lincoln PERMITing Hypocrisy

Close up of Parks and Rec. sign on Centennial Mall

We have a Shanty Town on Lincoln’s Centennial Mall with an increasing number of tents. “Residents” of this new community have every intention of staying indefinitely. Just how is that possible? Whatever disagreements I have with the Occupy Lincoln group, I do agree, of course; they have a fundamental right [...] Read more »

Deserving of Darts: NE Unicameral – Voter ID Bites the Dust

Deserving of Darts NEW 100711

The Nebraska Unicameral, is, as we all know, a one house legislative body, and, officially “non-partisan”. After having observed the legislative process for quite some time, both from a distance, and up close, we stopped puzzling over this paradigm. What the Nebraska Unicameral is, is clear. Last fall, Linda wrote [...] Read more »

So We Had A Resolution, Huh? Hmm. How IS That State Sovereignty Thing Workin’ Out For Us?

imagine your face here

Nebraska was one of only fourteen states to see the successful passage of a State Sovereignty Resolution in the two year period 2009 – 2010, while well over thirty states had resolutions. In other words, the passage of the Nebraska resolution on April 13, 2010[1. The Sovereignty Resolution was originally [...] Read more »

History Has Proven Nullification a Failure – Just Look at REAL ID

This is Part 2 in a continuing series on nullification. For Part 1, click HERE.   In Part 1, I explained that in the past year, I’ve come to realize that nullification is not a solution that should be pursued by the states. That change of opinion, the result of [...] Read more »

Following the Jon Bruning Money Trail

Monopoloy's Mr. Moneybags...a fitting image?

Political Hacks Swarm NE: Invasion of the Bus People

Terra Wind Amphibious RV

I don’t know if everyone reading this is old enough to remember all the press about “the boat people” fleeing Vietnam in the ’70s.  According to Wikipedia, references to the boat people “came into common use during the late 1970s with the mass departure of Vietnamese refugees from Communist-controlled Vietnam, [...] Read more »

The Myth of Nebraska’s Sovereignty Resolution (10th Amendment)

Nebraska Sovereignty for Sale

It’s both incredibly ironic and highly appropriate for me to be writing this article at this time. As February 2010 neared its end, I was very tired, but excited about GiN’s ongoing effort in support of what most people would identify as the State Sovereignty or Tenth Amendment Resolution. That [...] Read more »

These Nebraskans Are Not Alone: Proposed Debt Limit Deals Are Total Foolishness

Like many other Americans, some of our number are following the “debt ceiling debate” as closely as they can. One of them is doing so in between working even longer hours than he used to – like many other small business owners in the current economy. And despite long days, [...] Read more »

How IS That Whole European Union Thing Working Out?

To borrow some British slang, that sounds like a simply smashing idea, doesn’t it? If one believes in the notion of limited government and the only way [...] Read more »

Can America Survive Traitors Within?

Contributed by a Grassroots in Nebraska member… “A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among [...] Read more »

GiN Quotes Collection: Power

POWER When Excess of Power Prevails Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected; no man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions. ~ James Madison, essay in the National Gazette, March 27, 1792 Essence of Government is Power The [...] Read more »

GiN Quotes Collection: Welfare

WELFARE Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
