New Mexico living


Idaho Moose by J.P. EVERETT








As bad as this is…It is happening for real in every Public school in America every day.God has been taken away from all our children…School prayer is banned…The Bible is banned…The 10 Commandments are banned…all religion is banned..except Islam and Wicca or Earth worship…


The words of Jesus have been twisted by Obama himself and his new so-called Religious adviser..a live long Marxist. Teachers are fired for mentioning anything about God…or anything about Christ in a good light.Schools take girls for abortions without telling parents…give out birth control pills to 11 year olds without telling parents..teach free s@x..G@y s@x life..condom use etc…laugh about it. but abstinence is belittled…and Religious views about waiting until marriage are banned.


Even Obama has declared that America is no longer a Christian country…as Marxist dream for sure. Seeing these statues smashed just puts all this in perspective.


Also all the other things that puts all this in perspective like the skyrocketing rates of youth Murders…abortions…Gangs…drug use…broken families…divorse…child abuse..drop outs..assaults…suicide…Satan worship…rape…thieft….disrespect…Church burnings…AIDS and other STDs…a 78% illegitimacy rate in the bl@ck communities…38% in the White Communities…


And the Progressives and Liberals keep pushing for even more Godless lifestyles?NEA and Teacher’s Unions keep supporting Radical Leftist Pols who keep banning God in Schools…and then they all keep asking “Why are all our kids killing each other?”


We need to vote all these Dems out Folks..We need to get back to the Princples of the Founding Fathers…who say that all our Rights came from God…not the Govt. WE need to go back to a time when America was a God loving Country…when we believed in Faith…Hope and Charity…when Crime was at an all time low.






State powers of eminent domain are not constitutionally valid to acquire federally-owned lands. They are also not valid to acquire lands within federally-recognized Indian reservations. When states or municipalities need the use of or access to federal lands for state or municipal projects, they have to negotiate an agreement with the federal government to acquire such use or access. Such an agreement is generally discretionary on the part of the federal government, unless required by federal statute.

Assuming that Section 6 of the federal Utah Enabling Act of 1894 has been accurately posted above and remains in force, its language indicates that, while the federal government allocates certain parcels of federal lands for potential use in supporting public schools in Utah, the selection and acquisition of such properties by the state shall be subject to the approval of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, and not something which the state can do unilaterally. It also indicates that, despite such general allocation, no specific parcel dedicated for use as a military, Indian, or other federal reservation can be acquired by the state unless and until the federal government has first terminated such federal dedication.

Since the Utah Enabling Act went into effect 116 years ago, it also appears worth inquiring whether the state has ever previously requested, and the federal government has ever previously consented to, state acquisitions or dispositions of such properties for support of education in that state; and, if so, what quantity of lands originally contemplated by that provision remain in federal hands today. It would seem unlikely that the provisions of such basic enabling legislation have gone completely unnoticed for more than a century.

Some of the emotional comments on this issue, from varying perspectives, appear to miss the mark. In all likelihood, this issue has little to do either with federal neglect of the residents of western states, or with the residents of western states seeking subsidization from taxpayers in eastern states. Utah's legislature has probably passed this legislation because, like every other state in the nation, Utah's government is under tremendous fiscal pressure due to the steep decline in tax revenues resulting from the current severe economic recession. Education is one of the public services which states and municipalities provide to their citizens, so state aid to municipalities to support the costs of public education is a major component of the budgets of most states. With the private sector economy facing serious challenges, most states are confronted with substantial budget deficits, and are looking for ways to cover revenue shortfalls that do not involve either major tax increases or massive cuts in public services.

Utah is apparently trying to find a way to close a state budget gap and continue funding its public schools that involves acquiring and then selling real property in order to raise revenue, rather than increasing state or local taxes or laying off thousands of teachers. That is an entirely understandable goal. It's just that, in this case, the lands involved are owned by the federal government, the state can't take them without federal permission, and there is a federal statute requiring both the consent of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior for such acquisitions and the prior federal extinguishment of any federal dedication of such lands to military, Indian or other uses before the state acquisition can occur.

Given this background, what the State of Utah ought to be doing is seeking the consent of the U.S. Department of the Interior for the acquisition and disposition of selected federal lands under the statute; and, if such consent is not forthcoming, seeking support from the President and/or Congress to persuade the Department of the Interior to reconsider its position. Perhaps such efforts are under way on an administrative basis. In the absence of such actions, though, trying to exercise a state power of eminent domain over federal lands would simply be empty political grandstanding.

Whether conservative or liberal, western or eastern, readers of this blog ought to have sufficient intelligence to consider the issues involved before resorting to lobbing partisan brickbats at each other. Because the private sector is hard pressed by the recession, state governments and local school districts are hard pressed too. They are trying to find ways to solve their problems. Some of the solutions turn out to be more complex than may initially be apparent. That doesn't mean that the people involved are fools or villains -- it just means that times are tough and things are complicated.

The unsolved murder of veteran Arizona rancher Robert Krentz may no longer be in the MSM headlines, but his community and his colleagues won’t let local, state, or federal government officials just forget about the crime — and the continuing bloody consequences of open borders.


More than 1,200 people turned out over the weekend to honor Krentz at a Douglas-area memorial:


More than 1,200 friends, relatives and dignitaries crowded into the Douglas High School gym Saturday morning to remember and celebrate the life of a “good man,” Robert Krentz.


The Douglas-area rancher was found murdered March 27 on his ranch…


Krentz was a man whose actions spoke louder than words, and he fostered a reputation as a kind, compassionate man, said Gary Tuell. “You can tell that by the people who showed up and the reaction that they had,” he said.


Tuell knew Krentz when he was a child, and said he was amicable then. “He was a couple of years younger than I was, but he was always a friendly little cuss.”


On March 27, authorities believe, an illegal immigrant shot Krentz on his ranch.


How to help


Those wishing to honor slain Douglas-area rancher Robert Krentz’ life can do so by donating to the Rob Krentz Memorial Fund, The Cowbelles c/o Carol Riggs, 4466 N. Brooks Road, Douglas, AZ 85608; or the ACGA’s Litigation Fund c/o Patrick Brey, 1401 N. 24th St., No. 4, Phoenix, AZ 85008-4638. Donations may also be made to any Wells Fargo Bank in the name of Robert Krentz.


Tomorrow, ranching families will gather at the state Capitol to demand action. I received the following info from the Arizona Farm Bureau:


April 12, 2010, AZ – This weekend the ranching community gathered to celebrate the life of Robert Krentz, a husband, father and a friend to many. A senseless act took the life of a man, a humanitarian, who bore no ill will towards anyone. Rob loved his family instilling in them the importance of honesty, fair dealing and skill managing all aspects of a large 100-year-old ranching operation producing food to make our country strong and healthy.


On April 13, 2010 Arizona ranching families will gather at the state Capitol to demand action to secure our border, called Restore Our Border. For 18 months southern Arizona ranchers have been meeting with local officials to improve the conditions on the border. Thanks to the hard work of many individuals the Arizona Cattlemen’s Association has developed a plan of action to secure our border.


It’s clear that southern Arizona is a lawless area and the U.S./Mexico border is controlled by criminal forces. These unlawful cartels have no regards for the lives of American citizens and it is past time that our government takes action. Our fellow Arizonans and Americans should be able to sleep at night in the safety of their own homes. Arizona ranchers cannot stand for another tragedy like they have faced and will not rest until the border is secured.


The Arizona Cattlemen’s Association is working with the proper authorities to finalize the plan of action. On April 13, 2010 Restore Our Border (ROB) Plan will be released at 12:00PM at the capitol during a press conference. At 2:30PM Senator Russell Pearce has called a special committee hearing to discuss the criminal activities along the border. The committee will discuss the Restore Our Border plan and take testimony from southern Arizona Ranch Families.


Restore Our Border (ROB) Plan is a plan of action, not discussion points. For far too long these American Citizens have lived in fear for their lives and the lives of their family, we need to secure the border now!

Via Teri Christoph: Arizona’s Smart Girl Politics chapter is organizing a citizen border clean-up event in honor of Robert Krentz on 4/24 in Bisbee, AZ. More info on Facebook here.





Arizona ranchers continue to raise their voices about chaos on the southern border in the wake of Robert Krentz’s murder in the Douglas-area:


Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.


“You never know who you’re dealing with out here because you get all kinds of traffic through here,” said William McDonald, a fellow rancher on the vast mesquite scrubland pocked with canyons and scattered mountain ranges floating on the horizon like islands.


Mr. McDonald and other residents said that in the last year or two the traffic had taken a more sinister turn, with larger numbers of drug smugglers, many clad in black and led by armed scouts.


“It was only a matter of time,” he said. “Everything was in place for something like this to happen.”


Sheriff Larry A. Dever of Cochise County said if it was related to smuggling, it would be the first such killing of a rancher in more than three decades. But as local, state and federal investigators pore over the case, no motive has been ruled out, Sheriff Dever said.


Mr. Krentz’s family, in a statement last week, said they had little doubt that the killing was related to smuggling. They went on to vent frustration at what they said was a lack of concern by federal leaders.


“We hold no malice towards the Mexican people for this senseless act but do hold the political forces in this country and Mexico accountable for what has happened,” the family said. “Their disregard of our repeated pleas and warnings of impending violence towards our community fell on deaf ears shrouded in political correctness. As a result, we have paid the ultimate price for their negligence in credibly securing our borderlands.”


Reader Billie e-mails along more info via Arizona native Caren Cowen, now director of New Mexico Cattlemen:


A rosary will be held for Rob Krentz at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, 211 E. 15th St., Douglas, Arizona, on Friday, April 9th, at 6:00 pm. A memorial service will be held at Douglas High School Gym, 1550 East 15th St on Saturday April 10th at 10:00 am. A reception will follow at the Gadsden Hotel, 1046 G Avenue in Douglas.


In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the “Rob Krentz Memorial Fund,” The Cowbelles – c/o Carol Riggs, 4466 N. Brooks Road, Douglas, Arizona 85608.


Cards to may be sent to: Krentz Family, PO Box 3592, Douglas, Arizona 85607


A Robert Krentz Memorial Fund has been established at Wells Fargo Bank to aid the family. Anyone that would like to donate to this fund may do so at any Wells Fargo using the following account number: 5560960899. A calf donated by Sunny Shores will be auctioned and re-auctioned at the Willcox Livestock Auction April 8, with proceeds to the Memorial Fund.


As I noted last month, the Arizona Cattle Growers Association is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of Rob Krentz and is collecting contributions and pledges to supplement the ACGA’s own contribution to the fund of $5,000. The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association is contributing $1,000 to this fund. ICE/DHS are also offering a $25,000 reward.
