Below is a letter I sent to The Record about its profile of Steve Lonegan on August 6.
Re “Lonegan would stick to his principles,” (August 6) about the former Bogota mayor’s never ending quest to win a statewide race, Republican voters have to ask, which principles?
No explanation is needed. Brought to you by both major political parties. Fascism has arrived under the guise of national security.
My parents decided to come to America in 1949 so they and their sons would live in peace and freedom. Another generation of Sabrins will have to defeat fascism…this time in America.
We must speak out forcefully and often. This descent into the abyss has to be reversed. Otherwise, the Statue of Liberty should be torn down.
James Madison warned us 200 years ago, “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”

The revelations that the Internal Revenue Service has been giving extra careful review of the tax- exempt applications of Tea Party groups and other “patriotic” organizations should raise the obvious question, doesn’t an income tax lead to all kinds of abuses?
One of my favorite pastimes is to read the letters to the editor section of newspapers to get a sense how people are thinking about the issues of the day.
Below is a letter that was published in the Record in response to my previous letter criticizing the newspaper’s editorial praising the New Jersey’s Attorney’s General lawsuits against a few gas stations and several motels for the crime of “price gouging” during Hurricane Sandy.
After you hear economist and historian Thomas DiLorenzo discuss Steven Spielberg’s new movie about Lincoln, you should no longer worship the martyred 16th president of the United States.
On Sunday, November 11 history was made in Bergen County. For the most time in recent memory all commerce could be conducted legally in every town in the County. How apropos economic freedom came to Bergen County on Veterans Day, the holiday we commemorate the service of the men and women who fought to keep America a free country.
On Tuesday June 5th, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach easily won the Republican primary in the Ninth Congressional District. The rabbi will now square off against eight term congressman Bill Pascrell who trounced his long-time colleague Steve Rothman. Rothman moved into the newly configured 9th CD rather than face Republican Rep. Scott Garrett whose new 5th CD now incorporates towns Rothman represents in the current 9th CD.
The conviction of Dharun Ravi on March 15 on all counts of bias intimidation and invading the privacy of his roommate Tyler Clementi, who subsequently committed suicide, is a tragedy for everyone involved in this incident. Ravi and Clementi shared a dorm room at Rutgers University in September 2010 when Davi committed the crimes he was found guilty of on March 15.
In his second attempt to win the Republican presidential nomination, Ron Paul is coming up short, based on the “official” delegate count so far. However, with several state conventions yet to decide the actual delegates from the caucus states, Ron Paul may have more delegates waiting in the wings to lift the number of delegates he will have at the Tampa convention in August and possibly be a kingmaker if no one has 1,144 delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot.
Despite finishing fourth in the South Carolina primary, Ron Paul was upbeat during his speech Saturday night, giving one of his finest presentations as a presidential candidate. Ron hit all the high notes about his campaign and reminded his supporters that the cause of liberty will not be won overnight; it is a multifaceted process. Educating people about crony capitalism, the FED, the federal budget and entitlements, civil liberties, and our interventionist foreign policy so they will vote for the liberty presidential candidate may take more time than just this presidential campaign.
With a little more than two weeks to go to the Iowa caucuses on January 3, 2012, Rep. Ron Paul is poised to win the caucuses because he is the most fiscal conservative candidate in the race, the most pro free enterprise candidate in the race, the most pro civil liberties candidate in the race, the candidate most critical of the Federal Reserve, the engine of the inflation and the cause of financial bubbles, and the candidate who does not want to go to war at the drop of a hat.
Justin Raimondo explains why neoconservatives prefer war instead of diplomacy, and why Ron Paul is the greatest threat to their reckless foreign policies. With Newt toeing the “party line,” namely, that the Patriot Act is the best thing since sliced bread, he has become the darling of the fear mongers. Rep. Ron Paul made the case why the American people should not give up their liberties for security, a principle the Founding Fathers embraced without reservation.
Tom Moran, editor of the Star-Ledger, New Jersey’s largest newspaper, does his best to be a journalistic “hit man” in his piece, “NJ State Sen. Mike Doherty’s Ron Paul endorsement is revealing.” Moran, an unabashed left-winger, lists a couple of Rep, Paul’s core positions—eliminating the income tax and abolishing the Federal Reserve. In addition, Moran correctly points out that Rep. Paul “considers Medicare and Medicaid” to be unconstitutional.”
Today is Constitution Day. Although the constitution granted the federal government a few powers enumerated in Article I Section 8, the 200+ year experiment in “democracy” has been a failure. Now, the federal government has a virtual blank check—engaging in preemptive war, allowing the FED to create money out of thin air, creating Ponzi schemes, permitting sexual assaults at the airports by government employees in the name of security, and the list goes on and on.
