Declaration of Exclusion Against Michele Bachmann

The primary achievement of the Tea Party movement has been in confusing the public mind, as between the internal and the external threats of Terrorism, Gay Rights, the Great Recession, public spending, and the rather large defficit in the United States of America.

I would advise my American allies that they must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. They must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

The Sovereign Barony of Nonsuch does not, and hopes that it's ally, the United States of America will not, walk in fear of those whose opinions differ from one another. We must not be driven by fear into an age of unreason.

If the United States of America digs deep into it's history and doctrine, they will hopefully remember that they were not descended from founding fathers who were fearful men.

We proclaim ourselves and our allies, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world. But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

The words and actions of the junior representative from the American state of Minnesota and those who share her opinions and offer her their support, have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies, and given considerable comfort to our enemies.

And whose fault is that? Not really hers. She didn't create this situation of fear; she merely exploited it—and rather successfully.

It is for these and other sundry reasons that Michele Bachmann is declared Persona Non Grata in the Sovereign Barony of Nonsuch and will not be allowed, under any circumstances, within our borders.

Wesley,

Baron of Nonsuch

Official Condemnation

While at the gym today, working out on the treadmill, I witnessed an act of such heartless indifference, I feel it worthy of Official Condemnation by the Sovereign Barony of Nonsuch.

I was in conversation with a woman who was on the treadmill to my immediate right. I often talk to people who are willing to engage in conversation while using the cardiovascular equipment as I find it helps the time seem to go by so much more quickly.

Everything was going well, and I and the woman I was talking to were enjoying the conversation, when all of a sudden, she lost her balance and fell off the machine.

My first action was to reach over and press the emergency stop button on her treadmill then get off mine and try to help her up. Another gym patron, two treadmills to our right also got off her machine to come over to offer assistance, but another woman, who was on the treadmill to the right of the woman who fell not only did nothing and kept right on with her fast pace walking, she actually gave the woman who fell and those of us who came to offer aide a dirty look and said to us 'Please stop bumping my machine! I'm trying to workout here!'.

I condemn this woman in the strongest sense that I can. I would also like to point out to her and any who might be in agreement with her that cardiovascular exercise is only effective for you when you have a heart to begin with.

I do not know who the woman was, and I can only hope and pray that I am never in a situation in which I might need help from her, but I still hope that if it came up that I would still offer help too her.

His Serene & Sovereign Lordship,

Wesley,
