Written by Kelly Holt for The New American magazine TheNewAmerican.com

Someone has finally produced a documentary challenging the dominant thinking in America about race, particularly the notion that the Welfare State helps emancipate minorities from the slavery of poverty. In partnership with FreedomWorks and Ground Floor Video, black leader C.L. Bryant, a former NAACP chapter leader and Democrat liberal, has produced Runaway Slave. This 108-minute film posits the idea that black Americans, by buying into progressivism, and the mindset of entitlements, have traded one form of slavery for another. Bryant, a Baptist minister and Tea Party leader opens the film by asking if African Americans, nearly a half century after Martin Luther King proclaimed “Free at last!” are indeed free. And why, he ponders, are they still angry? His search for the answer forms the basis of this film as he travels from one coast to the other interviewing black Americans, activists, political and religious leaders attempted to legislate improvements for blacks. The film then recaps the disingenuous history and popular personalities — most claiming to be conservative. of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s stance on race. Johnson opposed civil rights legislation put The title Runaway Slave draws on the historical concept of American slaves in the forward by President Eisenhower in the 1950s, then less than a decade later, championed an mid-19th century escaping from slavery, usually on a southern plantation, and escaping to enormous civil rights measure that implemented his Great Society. A contemporary black freedom via the “underground railroad.” Bryant and the film’s producers use the term to call leader in the film claims that Johnson’s legislation “single-handedly destroyed the black American blacks to become modern runaway slaves, and leave behind the domination of not family,” an event from which black America has never recovered. only welfare and entitlements, but the rhetoric of divisive black leaders who promote hatred Bryant’s claim that African Americans are still mentally enslaved is a thought shared by and violence as the way to gain equality. many other black leaders. In support of the film’s premise that American blacks are living Bryant also recounts part of his own personal story. Early in his career, when he was in modern slavery, former presidential candidate Herman Cain is heard in the film claiming asked by the NAACP to endorse an agenda that included abortion, he found his political “The size, and scope, and reach of government is the new plantation.” And Star Parker, philosophy in conflict with his faith, and marks that realization as the beginning of his famous for having made a personal transformation from being dependent on welfare to a journey to conservatism. He now believes that the only hope for America lies in limited crusader for conservatism, called the welfare mentality a form of covetousness. government, self-reliance, freedom, and fiscal and individual responsibility. Throughout the film, the destruction of the family is singled out as a major problem facing But his film goes beyond a stirring message of hope, and documents some of the historical the black community. When Johnson’s Great Society offered monetary assistance to single events that led to the current oppressive and tyrannical welfare system that has shackled mothers in the 1960s, with the stipulation that “there was no man in the home,” irreparable modern American blacks to the system. In one segment, he reminds blacks that the damage was done to generations who were destined to become institutionalized and Republican Party, despised by many African Americans, was actually the party that first dependent on welfare. continued on page 5A Letter to the Editor Three Forgotten Facts Are We Serious About About the Fort Hood Education?

By Paul Henry for Liberty First Florida time of peace or war if the law allows it, so it would be possible to do so in a time of declared war. This is a very slippery slope considering the “war on terror” and people such as Sen. The Third Amendment is sandwiched between two far more famous ones. Most Lindsey Graham declaring the entire homeland is a battlefield. Contrast this with soldiers Americans likely do not know what it says, or why it came into being, yet the reasons are being quartered in England in 1944 prior to the Normandy invasions that took place 69 years significant and applicable today. Here is the text: ago today. No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Is this as significant today as it was over 200 years ago? Yes.

Within that document, there is a long list of things the King of England another country at your expense? had done or was doing that the colonists opposed. As to having troops in people’s homes, it History has shown tyrants rely upon their military to suppress internal political opposition- says: something our founders experienced firsthand, and groups such as Oathkeepers oppose. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us There has been only one notable court case involving the 3rd Amendment, in 1982 The British used a series of “quartering acts” to authorize housing troops on private when some prison guards in New York that lived on the prison grounds were on strike and property. The first came out in 1765, and was never cost-effective. It was strongly opposed National Guard troops were brought in to replace them. They initially lost, but upon appeal and expired in 1770. The second appeared in 1774 and was more moderate- it did not allow they prevailed. troops in occupied homes. This act expired in 1776 a few months before the Declaration The 3rd Amendment is no less important today than it was in 1765 when the reason for it of Independence was issued. Another factor was the British requiring the colonists to pay coming into being originated. I’ll close by observing what took place 69 years ago in France- the expenses of housing the foreign troops- what we call an unfunded mandate these days. the Normandy invasions, where many troops from several nations were lost in a battle for British law actually banned a standing army unless the people consented. liberty and freedom. We must never forget their sacrifice by allowing those freedoms to be Note that the amendment first specifies in time of peace but also allows for doing so in a set aside. Why Do We Have the Fourth Amendment? By Paul Henry for Liberty First Florida warrants. He later represented some colonists in court, and decision was met with a legislative reaction- in 2012 the future president John Adams heard Mr. Otis speak. President Indiana legislature passed a law nullifying that decision.

Among the nation’s 200 largest metro areas, Ocala/Marion County ranks fifth in expected fastest rate of employment growth through 2015, according to research firm Moody’s Analytics. The findings were included in this week’s Forbes Magazine annual rankings of Best Places for Business and Careers. With a projected growth rate of 3.4 percent, Ocala was the only Florida metro to make Forbes’ Top 10 Job Growth list. Not surprisingly, Texas dominated job growth projections, nabbing seven of the top slots. Ocala’s overall ranking of 178 on the Best Places list reflects negative job-growth from 2009 through 2011 and modest growth through much of 2012. Beginning in December 2012, however, Ocala led all of Florida’s metros for six consecutive months with the highest job-growth rate, hitting a high of 3.6 percent in May with an increase of 3,600 jobs over-the- year.

The participating food managers from each of the 10 school districts prepared from “scratch” nutritious, fresh and easy to prepare menu items for all the conference attendees.

Vol. 90, No. 6 LevyThursday, August Life 15, 2013 50 cents LCSO and Town of Bronson Parks Summer Program Teaches Safety to Local Children Bronson Youth League Park was the venue for a safety program put on by the Levy County Sheriff’s Department and hosted by the Town of Bronson Parks and Recreation Department under the direction of Council Member Beatrice Roberts and Parks and Recreation Director Curtis Stacy on July 30. Approximately 25 children from Bronson, Chiefland and Williston came to the event which is part of the summer program of the Bronson Parks and Recreation Department. LCSO Sgt. Max Long spoke to the children about personal safety at school and home. Topics included drug abuse, alcohol abuse, firearm safety and bullying. Deputy Kevin Kinik spoke to the children about his K-9 partner, Rossi, and provided demonstrations of Rossi’s training and discipline. Rossi showcased his talents and ability to detect different odors and how he can take down a dangerous suspect. — information submitted. WANTED - Little Cowboys and Cowgirls

Sign up at 8 AM for ages 7 and under and at 4 PM for ages 8 thru 12. Rodeo will be at Little Pigfoot Farm on 318, east of Williston. For more info contact Mickey Thorton @352-558-4661 or Ginny Kieth@352-221-4951 Chainsaws for Deputies to be Fumeless

Levy County Emergency Management Director Mark Johnson presented Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum with 4 battery-operated chainsaws to outfit the Levy County Sheriff’s Office Deputies with necessary equipment for storm situations. This new purchase resulted from a suggestion from Deputy Jeremy Dean. Concerned with maintaining gas operated saws and the fumes associated with transporting mixed gasoline, Deputy Dean researched and located this alternative. The taxpayers along with LCSO, the Emergency Operations Center and the Levy County Road Department will reap the benefits of these new tools. As we move forward into the hurricane season, these new saws can be more safely transported and stored in LCSO vehicles. This allows faster utilization to assist the Road Department in rapidly clearing blocked roads during storm events. — information provided by Lt. Scott Tummond, LCSO. Firefighters Practice Car Fire Suppression at New Public Safety Complex

Levy County Department of Public Safety Firefighters from Station 2 (Morriston), Station 4 (Fowlers Bluff), Station 5 (Rosewood), Station 6 (Yankeetown), and Bronson Fire Department took advantage of the New Public Safety Complex to train on passenger vehicle fire suppression tactics on August 5 and 6. The training consisted of working with firefighters from different stations and night training. This training provides each firefighter with the opportunity to work with firefighters from different stations, helping to understand the dynamics needed for adapting to change during fire suppression activities. The training also included a nighttime component that gives the firefighter the ability to improve and learn how to operate during night operations. If you are interested in learning these life saving skills or interested in volunteering contact: Levy County Department of Public Safety at 352/486- 5209.

When disaster strikes, Levy County emergency responders urged citizens to be prepared to take care of themselves for at least 72 hours before help is on its way. That was the message delivered at an Emergency Preparedness Seminar held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) Thursday (Aug. 8). “Most people don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan,” said Clay Connolly, Deputy Chief of Police in Williston. “Preparedness is more than just a good idea, it quickly becomes a necessity.” Along with Connolly, other presenters included David Knowles, Director of the Levy County Public Safety Department; John MacDonald, Levy County Emergency Management; and Danny Wallace, Assistant Chief of Williston Fire Department. Together these officials focused on what every citizen needs to provide to ensure their own survival and recovery from an emergency. “Regardless of our capacities, expertise and equipment, when we share an emergency such as a hurricane, fire or flood, our resources quickly deplete and our systems frequently break down,” Connolly said. “Before you leave tonight, I hope everyone asks themselves a single question: ‘What if I have an emergency and nobody comes? That is what you need to prepare for.’” Darrell Janson, lay minister for the LDS Church in Williston, said hosting this seminar goes right along with the church’s focus on being prepared. should a hurricane knock out power and other vital resources for survival. Water, food, “We as Latter-day Saints have been taught for generations to be prepared personally and as cash, clothes, self-charging radio and/or flashlights, first aid kit, car chargers for cell families,” Janson said. “We would like to help not just ourselves, but also our community to phones, waterproof matches and batteries are just a few of the things recommended to have be free from the fear that comes from not being prepared for difficult times." available. Examples of a 72-hour kit were on display at the program. Participants were provided “Please don’t be complacent,” said David Knowles. “We have a lot to offer our citizens but a handout with a checklist for items that would be extremely beneficial to have on hand resources are limited in a disaster.” Cowboying and Rattlesnakes

One day Ms. Jean was visiting Juanita Faurot, Leo’s wife, who lived next door to us on the TM Britt Ranch. Marlene, our oldest daughter, and her friend were sitting on the steps of the back porch. Juanita walked to the back door, opened it and looked out and saw a rattlesnake in the flower bed about two feet from Marlene’s foot. Juanita kept her 22 mag. pistol on the kitchen cabinet by the door. She picked up the gun, walked out on the porch, never said a word to the kids and shot that snake’s head off. I killed 17 rattlers one year on the ranch. There was a fence post pile not too far from our house. I was loading up some posts one day and killed one under the posts. He was a little over five foot. One day Ms. Jean went cow hunting with us. She was riding her horse ahead of me. Her horse walked right by a four-foot rattler. I killed that one with my cow whip and never got off my horse. I’ve never seen a horse shy away from a snake except in the movies. Moral of the story: Hollywood Drama!

The hog went www.facebook.com/pennysrecipes into a cypress head and they caught it.
