My commentary on a variety of issues that interest me including gun rights, individual liberty, illegal immigration, politics, religion, taxes, aviation, judicial activism, journalistic bias and laziness, environmental activism, education, family, health, gardening, history, Scouting, genealogy, etc.
I am a retired international airline captain. In real life, I strike fear into the US Department of Homeland Security as a right-wing extremist (in other words, I believe in God, go to church regularly, own a gun or two, oppose Al Gore and the environmentalist fraud, expect the government to aggressively enforce immigration laws, believe English should be established as the nation's official language, believe the US Constitution says what it says, seek a return to the limited federal government described in the US Constitution, and as a military veteran have sworn to support and defend the Constitution). To quote one of my heroes, Captain Moroni: "I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country." (Book of Mormon, Alma 60:36) In my spare time, I serve on the local Boy Scout District Training Committee. I coach a 4-H Shooting Sports club (see 4-H link below). I also teach the Utah Hunter Education Course, the Utah Concealed Firearm Course, and various other gun safety classes including most NRA courses (see Firearm Training link below).
The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All federal, state, and local laws must comply with the supreme law of the land.
Sharia law does not comply with the US Constitution and is therefore invalid anywhere in the United States. Presumably, immigrants (including Muslims) come here for the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
That being the case, one would assume that those immigrants would leave behind the tyranny (Sharia Law) from which they flee. Yet, many Muslims insist on practicing Sharia Law in the US.
Alaska State Representative Carl Gatto has introduced a bill that would prohibit Alaska courts from applying foreign law (dunno why he wouldn't prohibit applying foreign law altogether) if it would violate an individual's rights guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States or of the state of Alaska. That sure makes a lot of sense to me, yet Gatto's bill is meeting a bit of opposition not only from Muslims, but from Alaskan legislators and citizens (all Dumocrats, oddly enough) who don't seem to respect the Constitution they've sworn to defend.
