John Armor Speaks About Teachers in His Life

John Armor Memorial Service Information



John Armor spoke these words during a congressional debate in 2008. I've been thinking about putting together a video of things he said, concepts he expounded upon for the past month. It has just been too depressing for me to do it just yet.

John Armor, Defender of the US Constitution 1943-2010 Rest In Peace

John Armor, Defender of the US Constitution passed away this morning due to complications that arose from Colon Cancer.


I knew him since 2004 from Free Republic, where his screen name was Congressman Billybob.


John Armor was many things throughout his life. He was a writer, a lawyer, a businessman, a lecturer, and the best raconteur I ever knew. He practiced law in the Supreme Court, and in the 1980's worked for the Commission on the bicentennial of the US Constitution. 


He cared very much about America and worked tirelessly to defend the US Constitution and to raise awareness of what the Founders had intended. He could quote sections from the Federalist Papers from memory and referred to them as the epistles of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay to America.  


I was fortunate enough to be able to meet him, and film him on numerous occasions during his 2008 run for congress, and at other events afterward. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with him and his wife, Michelle Mead Armor, who he had just married a couple of years ago. 


I will miss John. He was a good guy. 


Brainshrub has a piece on his experience with John Armor at Scrutiny Hooligans. Read it. It is a testament to John that he could carry on a conversation with progressives. 


I'll let John have the last word, which was a warning that could save your life...





The End of My Cancer


On 23 April I had a routine colonoscopy, and found out that I had cancer. I knew then I’d have to write this column once I knew the outcome. I had 25 days of chemotherapy, simultaneous with radiation therapy, followed by surgery on 11 August.
The pathology reports came back yesterday. They were, as my surgeon said, ‘the best possible, given the circumstances.” They were clean margins and clean lymph nodes. The margins are the areas all around the site of the surgery. The lymph nodes are where cancer usually spreads first, from its original site.
In laymen’s terms, I am cancer-free. Going in my purpose for this column was, and still is, to save some lives. Three of the most common cancers in America today are colon and prostate cancer for men and breast cancer for women. All three have a common characteristic. They can be often and easily cured if they are detected early.
Let me repeat that, and pardon me for shouting, but THESE CANCERS CAN BE EASILY CURED IF THEY ARE DETECTED EARLY.
What stands in the way of early detection? The tests for these cancers, especially colon and breast, are obnoxious. Everyone winces and shudders when the tests are mentioned. I know.
I felt the same way when a routine examination with no symptoms showing, saved me from colon cancer once before. That one was only pre-cancerous. But it would have developed to the point of killing me years ago, if I had let it go.
After one time at the rodeo, you get cautious. I got routine exams on a routine basis. The readers of my columns are, I know, older and better educated than most. Many of you are woman or men “of a certain age.” Or, you may have risk factors for cancer in your personal or family history.
If there is any reason in your age or risk factors why you should have a routine exam for any of these cancers, set this column aside and make the call. A day or two’s worth of discomfort, yes, and embarrassment, is a small price to pay for a couple decades of not being dead.
I’ve written about my situation as if it was, or had become, a day at the beach. It isn’t and it hasn’t. Chemotherapy and radiation both tear up your systems. When my father died of cancer, forty years ago, both of those treatments were crude, in their infancy, and nearly as harmful as the cancer itself. Today, the reverse is true. Both treatments have been refined, and are used together to shrink the cancer in advance of surgery. That’s exactly what happened in my case.
With the good news I got yesterday, I ought to be in a good mood. Well, there is this gastric tube down my nose that is continuously draining my stomach. That is to compensate for the fact that my colon has not fully awakened from its slumber. And, did I mention that I’ve given up all pain killers to aid in that process?
Try being stitched up down your front like a baseball. Add to that your must cough to clear your lungs, to avoid pneumonia. Then add that I have refused any pain shots. Since 11 August I have eaten nothing but ice, and two cups of apple juice. Life ain’t easy for a boy named Sue.
I am not, however, complaining. As Maurice Chevalier said of old age. “It is fine, considering the alternative.” The alternative is what I came to talk with you about, today. There are people reading this right now, whose lives can be saved, if you get an exam right now.
Let me repeat that, YOUR LIFE MIGHT BE SAVED IF YOU GET A CANCER TEST TODAY.
I expect and hope that about five people will have their lives saved by my relating my experiences in this column. And, yes, the title of this column was a deliberate pun. If this works for you, please let me know.
Note that I haven’t mentioned my doctors or nurses. There were nine doctors, and many more nurses. I am grateful for the excellence of their medical care.
Changing subjects abruptly, part of the goal of my surgery was to be ready on 12 September to March down Constitution Avenue with 38 of my fellow citizens, dressed as the signers of the Constitution. I get to be Ben Franklin. There should be about a million Americans there. I hope the American press might even notice and cover that event.

Flashback: 2008 NC-11 GOP Convention Debate

Tomorrow will see Republicans from the 11th Congressional District in North Carolina gather to conduct business and elect delegates to the 2009 NCGOP Convention. I will be there, recording the speeches and talking about the future of the Republican Party in western North Carolina.

If I can get an Internet connection, I will be tweeting updates from the auditorium of Haywood Community College because I will be too busy this year to provide a live feed like last year.

Here is the three way debate from last year's convention among contenders to face Congressman Heath Shuler: John Armor, Spence Campbell and Carl Mumpower. Mumpower won the primary a few weeks after the debate, and lost to Shuler in the 2008 General Election:

Things I Don't Want to Write About by John Armor

Guest Commentary

Things I Don't Want to Write About
by John Armor


When you write a weekly column for 15 years, there comes a time when you have a column due, and only a handful of subjects you don't want to write about in your knapsack. Judge for yourself whether you want to read about a stolen hat, a blocked intestine, a frozen underground pipe, or how cold it's been the last two weeks.

The last subject can be handled quickly. In January of 1994 the workmen showed up to handle some inside work at my home, and Raymond Holland, who has a fine sense of humor, said that "it was cold enough to freeze crap in a chicken." I laughed and said, "Can you imagine how the switchboard would light up if Willard Scott said that on air? But everyone would have a clear idea of how cold it really was."

It is that cold again. Which is why the underground pipe from our spring to our house has frozen again. Which is why our lives are in the hands of our plumber, Drew, who is a prince among men, and who has solved the problem, again.

A blocked intestine is the human equivalent of the frozen water pipe. About the time that the house plumbing failed, so did my personal plumbing. So we called an ambulance to fetch me to the hospital. The more contact I have with the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, the greater respect I have for that institution and the fine folks who work there.

We arrived at the Emergency Room shortly before midnight on Friday. I had no idea that the CT-scan machine would be manned and ready to go then, By 3:45 I had a proven diagnosis and a course of treatment. No, I'm not going to describe that course of treatment. Suffice to say it involved a fair amount of discomfort, the able and cheerful assistance of many staff people, and it resulted in total success that did not involve the use of heavy anesthetics and sharp knives.

Bottom line (pun intended), when you have what might be nothing, but might be something quite serious, get yourself to the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital and let them sort it out. They saved my life eleven years ago from a major heart attack. They saved my mother's life a decade before that, when she had an aneurysm that would have killed her if it had burst before the surgeon reached it.

Plus, the whole staff of that hospital are fine and able people. You will be relieved of stress and enjoy their company as they sort out what ails you, and send you on your way.

And that brings us to the stolen hat. I had a tan hat, with a tan leather band with "Biltmore" printed on it. It was my favorite hat, since my wife got it for me as a Christmas present, a year ago. Her mother encouraged that gift since she was here then. Any time that two different women tell you that you look "handsome" in a given article of clothing, well, that's that, and you must have it.

You can judge for yourself. It's the hat I'm wearing in the masthead photo. [Editor's note. Download this pdf file and view photo on page 7--TP]

On Wednesday, my wife and I went to the Rib Shack, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Edwards Inn & Spa, for lunch. I forgot my hat and left it behind. When we got home, I called, and they had the hat. But when we came in the next day to get it, the hat was gone.

Originally, the people at Rib Shack said, "We don't have any responsibility for that." Eventually, they acknowledged that it was a mistake to leave the hat on the hat rack next to the door, where any patron or employee who wanted a nice hat, could just snap it up and keep on going.

The hat may still be in the area. So, if you see a tan hat with "Biltmore" on the band, you could inquire about it. Or, if you took that hat, you could return it to Rib Shack (I don't think they'd make the same mistake twice), or to Kim Lewicki at the Highlands Newspaper, who took the photo at the top.

Getting the hat back is not as critical as the other items in this column. But it is sentimental since my wife and mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas. I'll report back on the search for the hat, if it has a happy ending.

The "2008 WNC Conservative of the Year" and a Look Back at 2008

The Thunder Pig

2008 WNC CONSERVATIVE OF THE YEAR

THE CAROLINA STOMPERS & CHAD NESBITT

The Carolina Stompers , and their head honcho, Chad Nesbitt have done an excellent job of bringing the corruption in Buncombe County and the Democratic Party of North Carolina to light. While I can offer no substantial prize, I can offer a hearty "Well Done!" to Chad and his Carolina Stompers for their willingness to tread where other Republicans fear.

Chad has earned the ill will of NCDP Chairman Jerry Meeks, progressive bloggers, part-time Republicans, scores of Mtn X denziens and Coven Oldenwilde.

Chad, I salute you and your band of hearty warriors!

I look forward to watching you expand your franchise in 2009 and wish you nothing but success and the sound of liberals wailing and gnashing their teeth to sing you to sleep at night!!!

2008 IN REVIEW

If I don't get to post any more this year, I would like to thank everyone who visited my blog, emailed me with words of support, sent money to me, clicked on my advertising...and hit my Tip Jar. You have made it possible for me to do this full-time for over a year now.

This has allowed me to post at a prodigious rate (3,041 posts to date, 96 took place in 2005, 469 in 2006, 753 in 2007 and a whopping 1579 posts to date in 2008!!!), which I doubt I will be able to increase upon for next year because of several projects which will come to fruition, including a social networking site, a video show and a radio show I have been making cryptic allusions to over the past six months. My time be be spent wearing many hats in 2009.

Others in the conservative community have been making strides online also, and I wish to recognize some of them:

The Carolina Stompers

What can I say about this lovable bunch except they make me smile, give them awards, and have hope for Buncombe County, the land that has been dominated by progressives for so long. I am glad that Chad has avoided joining the circular firing squads this year. Chad has been overwhelmingly positive in our conversations and emails. And as a bonus, he hasn't threatened to sic his lawyer on me (inside joke).

The NC-11 GOP Primary

We had a good field of candidates. 

One thing that I hope all Republicans took from this race is that it does take money to run a campaign. The Number One thing that money will get you is a paid staff of people who know what they are doing, who know how to build networks, and who know how to go and get more money with which to present the candidate's message to the public, which is the Second thing that money will get you. This Poverty Mentality must not be tolerated in our party any longer.

Kathy Rhodarmer

Kathy has been a Conservative Warrior for quite a while, and made her first videos this past year. I think that she will be a rising star in the Citizen Journalist Corps that will be coming to the fore in 2009 in our area.

Richard Bernier

He has produced a lot of video this year, most of it available on his youtube channels called Sound Off Buncombe, Captricrude1 and his Exposure room channel.

He and Randy Thomas started a website called Draft Sarah Palin for President 2012 as Palinmania swept through some quarters of the GOP.

These two have also teamed up with Don Yelton to form an Internet Talk Radio concern, which will officially launch in 2009. I wish them luck in their endeavour.

Don Yelton

Don Yelton has been a mentor to me, and a perennial gadfly to the power structure in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. He ran for Buncombe County Commissioner this year, and maintains a steady stream of emails pointing people to news they might have otherwise missed.  Visit his website to keep up with his activities. 

GOP State Level Candidates

I would like to recognize Susan Pons, and RL Clark, who ran for the NC Senate in their districts and also Dodie Allen and Paul Perdue, who ran for NC House seats. Although these people did not win, I would encourage to run again and to stay active in politics.

The Race for the Governor saw 4 qualified candidates run in the Republican primary. The problem here was that too many conservatives running split the primary vote and allowed the least conservative to win that race, as in the Presidential campaign. McCrory would have made a better Governor than the Democrat candidate, though.

OTHER LOCAL GOP NEWS

The Buncombe County Republican Party finally built a modern website, complete with a video gallery. Now, we need to see if Republicans in Buncombe County will utilize it properly and develop a corps of videographers.

Jimmy Goodman ran a good positive campaign for Macon County commissioner this year. He defeated the sitting Chairman, Charles Leatherman, and ran on making positive changes, including putting the County Commission meetings on the Internet, which the old guard have refused to do. I hope that Jimmy will run again, and that this time, he will win.

It is in his honor that I will begin my long-threatened coverage of the Macon County Commission meetings in 2009. That is one project that I have been putting off for far too long, and I will be posting video excerpts of the meetings and taking notes to create a record that is search able, and will hopefully lead to more accountability in the coming year. The Macon County Commission has thwarted the will of Maconians for far too long. 

LOOKING FORWARD

In case you haven't noticed...this list of people to recognize has been far too short. There needs to be more republicans involved in the online political arena, and it will be one of my major goals to get more people involved on their own websites producing written, oral and visual content.

And if i can convince them all that we are not competitors, but allies...then we will begin winning elections instead of trying to stab each other in the back.

Academics and Ayers, "Whatsoever Things are True...." by John Armor

GUEST COMMENTARY


Academics and Ayers, "Whatsoever Things are True...."
by John Armor



This is now the 14th year of these weekly column. I've never used a Bible verse in these secular sermons. Here's the exception to that rule.

Today's text is from Phillippians 4:8. The King James Version is preferred for the beauty of its language:

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

The first task of every preacher who's ever mounted a pulpit is to connect the Reading with the real world. Today's sermon is about politics.

Your immediate reaction is, that dog won't hunt. There is no more truth in politics than there is tea in a tea bag that's been through nine rinse cycles at the laundromat. That negative also applies to just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy. I add with a wink, "You betcha." But this is a slight exaggeration.

Most of my career I've working with politicians who've been dead for two centuries. I've represented the likes of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Franklin in cases on the enduring meaning of the Constitution.

I've read most of the writings by those gentlemen.

They did not always agree with each other. Franklin's speech on thoughtful compromise, delivered the day the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, is one of the classic political speeches of all time. Yet despite their sometime conflicting views, the Framers were all engaged in a constant search for what was true, honest, virtuous, and just.

One area where the search for truth ought to survive, is on America's university campuses. So, today's example will be drawn from there, rather from this week's Presidential Debate. I've written long ago that lawyers are the squid of the literary seas, using a fog of words not to expose and explain, but to obscure and deflect. It is no accident that almost half of all members of Congress, and many other elected leaders, are lawyers.

Lawyers are trained in deception. It is often their task in life to present falsehoods and make them seem rational and true. Having been a lawyer for 38 years, I have earned the right to say this. Most of you have probably experienced the same syndrome.

So, let's talk about academics. Professors are given tenure under the belief, however false, that security of position will allow them to seek the truth unfettered by the tides of passion in the outside world.

There is a petition circulating on the Internet, entitled "Friends and Supporters of Bill Ayers." Over 3,000 tenured professors from around the country have added their names to this Petition. It says that those who are attacking Ayers are seeking to "intimidate free thinking and stifle critical dialogue.."

That sounds like exactly what university professors should do, defend a colleague who is under attack for his views. An attack on one is an attack on all. It is not only possible, but in today's politics commonplace, to lie by omission. As Dr. Joseph Goebbels noted, the most effective lie is constructed of partial truths.

Nothing in this Petition mentions that Ayers and his wife formed the Weathermen. They participated in bombings that killed people. Both avoided convictions on a technicality. Then Ayers was quoted in the New York Times on 11 September, 2001, with exquisitely bad timing that "we did not do enough [bombing]."

Here's the Petition. See for yourself its bias. See if any of the professors who signed it are being paid by your tax dollars. http://www.supportbillayers.org/

The Petition says, "It's true that Professor Ayers participated passionately in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s, as did hundreds of thousands of Americans." I must have missed the news that hundreds of thousands of Americans killed people with bombs in the 60s, and then affirmed those acts just seven years ago.

When it is hard to find even a pretense of truth in the halls of academia, you can reach the sad conclusion that whatever is true and just and honest and pure is in a bad way in this nation these days. You can also conclude in reading and viewing the media that danged few people are "thinking on such things."

Sorry the sermon ended with a downer. When you preach in the secular world, that happens. A lot.

John Armor Article in Human Events

Local author, raconteur, and former primary candidate in the GOP NC-11 race, has an article on Human Events entitled, "Anybody Remember The Red Lion Case?" and here is a snippet to whet your appetite for more:

...What Justice White does not include in his opinion is the relative availability of media when he was writing his opinion. There were slightly more than 4,000 daily newspapers in the United States, then. Most major cities had competing dailies. Some cities like Chicago and New York, had more than six competing newspapers.

At the same time, in 1969, the number of TV licenses were in the hundreds, and there were fewer radio licenses than newspapers.

Today, all of those figures are reversed. The number of daily newspapers is down to about 2,000 and declining. The number of TV stations are above 10,000, and the number of radio stations about five times as many. Given cable and satellite technologies, the average American household now has access to at least 100 TV channels, plus dozens of specialized radio stations. That average household has access to less than two daily newspapers.

It was this change in the facts which led the FCC to end the Fairness Doctrine almost thirty years ago. The disparity, with print media declining and electronic media growing, has continued apace since then. This huge advantage in favor of individual access to broadcast channels that offer what they want, is increased by orders of magnitude when the Internet, plus pod casting, are added to the mix.

Those who are arguing for reestablishment of the Fairness Doctrine have not done their homework....

Source: Human Events

Commentary

You can bet everything you own that the Democrats will get a new Fairness Doctrine in place if Barack Obama is elected President, and that will mean the end of AM Radio.

Fortunately for us, the Internet will be here for the conservative commentators to utilize to side step the ban on conservative talk. That will be good for people who have access to DSL or faster Internet connections, but not for the millions who are on dial up, or listen while on the road, or away from computers.

Will wireless carriers be able to stream Internet radio? Or will people employ a work around like I did while WZNN/WZGM was offering talk radio programming? (I used a transmitter to take the audio from an AM Radio and transmit it on FM so I could hear the faint 1350 kHz signal on my Walkman on an empty slot on the FM Dial, usually 87.9 MHz, up to a mile from my pickup).

I am firm in my belief that if the Fairness Doctrine is passed, we will find a way around it...for the Neo-Stalinist Democrats do not understand the power of freedom, and the utility of Free Markets...that is one reason lefty talk never took hold. They just don't get it, and never will.
