Senator Boxer Shame on You!

Before Pope Benedict arrived, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the United States of America. He arrived last Wednesday, and since then has uttered nothing but praise and thanksgiving to the US for the freedom of Religion We have here. He has reminded Us of the message of Jesus Christ, after all that is His main reason for being the leader of the over one billion Catholics.

He has not lectured, tried to ram Catholicism down Americans throats. His demeanour and style has been that of a gentile man on a pilgrimage.

So when two Catholic Senators attempted to pass a resolution commending the Pope this past week it was strange that it was blocked. The California Senator who blocked the resolution is from Marin County. A place I once lived for over ten years, and I can tell you there are a lot of Catholics in Marin.

There are pockets of atheists, agnostics, Muslims, Jews and Buddhist's as well.

But there is no reason why she should be offended or worry about offending her constituents by voting for the resolution. The Pope has opened dialog with all forms of religions in the USA. He even attended a Jewish Synagogue!

The former Barbara Levy, now Senator Boxer, is a Jewish Democrat that has represented California in the U.S. Senate since 1992. I would hate to think that her Jewish roots caused her to block the well deserved Resolution. After all the Holy Father has pointed out numerous times during his visit that Jews and Catholics are joined together by the bond that occurs from the fact that the Mother of Jesus was Jewish as was Jesus and all His Apostles.Catholics revere the Old Testament of the Bible as the prophecy of Christs coming.

Senator Boxer please explain what is so offensive in this resolution? "Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken approvingly of the vibrance of religious faith in the United States, a faith nourished by a constitutional commitment to religious liberty that neither attempts to strip our public spaces of religious expression nor denies the ultimate source of our rights and liberties...Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the weak and vulnerable, witnessing to the value of each and every human life..."

The Senate resolution has bipartisan sponsorship. Republican Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) introduced the resolution on April 15. It is cosponsored by Democratic Sen. Bob Casey (R-PA). Both senators are Catholic.

Shame on you Senator Boxer.

THANK YOU TO GIBSON AND STEPHANOPOULOS

If you listen hard enough, you can hear the crying and gnashing of teeth of the Liberals who didn't want their anointed "Savior" Obama to look bad Wednesday night.

Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, the moderators of Wednesday night’s presidential debate on ABC, became the subject of a fierce and somewhat unexpected debate themselves on Thursday, as viewers, bloggers and television critics lamented what they described as an opportunity lost: a chance to ask the two candidates for the Democratic nomination substantive questions early and often.

The key word in the excerpt from the New York Times article is "substantive". What Obama supporters wanted was "powder puff" questions from the two moderators that would give Obama a chance to Bash the Bush administration in general and McCain as the Republican nominee in particular.

What voters want is questions that pull back the curtain of deception and sleight of hand that has been the Obama campaign since he threw his hat in the nominee ring.

Obama has campaigned on the promise of change for Americans. Just what kind of change that he will produce is revealed when you understand more about his attitudes, associations, and the history of his legislative accomplishments. We learn nothing from his promises to right the perceived wrongs in Our Country. Promises are just that, promises!

George and Charles did the voters of the USA a great favor by asking the questions that would never appear in the Liberal media, especially the Washington Post or New York Times.

It was nice to hear pertinent and informative questions asked of both Obama and Hillary, before they got down to what the Liberals wanted. The bashing of the current administration!

WHEN ENVY AND ANIMUS TRUMP ECONOMICS YOU HAVE PROBLEMS

During the Democrat debate in Philadelphia this week Charles Gibson of ABC asked Obama if he was elected President would he raise the Capitol Gains Tax and the rate at which dividends are taxed?

Obama answered by referring to the unfairness of CEO of the top fifty Hedge Funds making a total of 29 billion dollars. Not a very direct answer, but one used to stir up envy and animus for those who make a lot of money.

What he said he would do to level the playing field was very revealing about Obama's lack of understanding of basic economics, or maybe lack of care for the average "Joe".

The Obama's reported a combined income of 4.2 million dollars for 2007. None of it from stock dividends. Any proposal to raise capital gains or dividends income would have no effect on the Obamas, but would have a big impact on the 100 million Americans who own stocks. Of these 20% make less than 50,000 dollars a year, and 50% earn less than $200,000 a year.A total of 52% of all adult Americans own some stocks.

Obama's scheme to raise the Capital Gains Tax from the present 15% to 28%, and a raise on the tax on dividends from it's present rate to 37% would have a major financial impact on the average American who "clings to guns or religion". It would also make a lie out of Obama's promise not to raise taxes on any one who makes less than $200,000.

The Heritage Foundation did a study of the effect on personal income and the economy of our Country that raising capital gains and taxing dividends at 37% would have. It postulated that the yearly cost to the Country would be a loss of $ 90 billion in GDP, and the average family of four would pay $1675 more in taxes.

The money lost is one thing, but they also project that this draconian raise in taxes would "kill 683,000 jobs"!

It sounds to me as though the "CHANGE" Obama is proposing would be a bad deal for millions of Americans!

THE INCONGRUITY OF OBAMA

When obama gave his elitist speech before a wealthy liberal audience in San Francisco at the Getty Mansion. He referred to rural Pennsylvanians He showed his elitism and lack of understanding of the people and issues that present themselves during this election cycle.

His statement that "it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations". A perfect example of a man who has a chameleon character that adapts to the audience to whom he is speaking. This is quite common in politicians at all levels. They say what their audience and potential voters want to hear.

But Obama revealed an apparent disdain for rural people in Pennsylvania, and possibly all rural people in general. He blames the people in rural communities for following the religious principles that this Country has been known for since it's inception. He blames them for using a right granted by the Constitution(to bear arms), and worse of all he blames them for not wanting illegal hordes to come across our borders . All this blame is because they don't buy his message of change!

It would be a good thing for a man or woman who claims to be ready to lead this Country to understand the issues that he is using to attack a particular segment of the USA.

The obvious oxymoron and incongruity of his message is the reference to "anti-immigrants". He conveniently left out the word illegal! Of course he was speaking in a city known for it's illegal sanctuary stance. But the fact still remains the wrong is not the rural peoples anti-immigrant attitude, it is the sin of the cost to hard working tax payers that have to bear the freight for those who break our immigration laws as this excerpt from an article in The Center for Immigration Studies.

The average illegal immigrant family receives an average of $30,000 in governmental benefits! Yet they pay only about $9,000 in taxes per year. That creates a $21,000 shortfall that the American taxpayer has to make up. That's like buying each of the illegal immigrant families a brand new Mustang convertible -- each and every year!"
The Center for Immigration Studies, a vocal opponent of illegal immigration, looked at " the high cost of cheap labor", and discovered that
in 2004 illegal immigrant families tended to receive fewer welfare and Medicaid benefits than other households -- but even then, didn't pay enough in taxes to cover the cost.
Based on Census Bureau data, this study finds that, when all taxes paid (direct and indirect) and all costs are considered, illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion in 2002. We also estimate that, if there was an amnesty for illegal aliens, the net fiscal deficit would grow to nearly $29 billion.In terms of welfare use, receipt of cash assistance programs tends to be very low, while Medicaid use, though significant, is still less than for other households. Only use of food assistance programs is significantly higher than that of the rest of the population. Also, contrary to the perceptions that illegal aliens don't pay payroll taxes, we estimate that more than half of illegals work "on the books." On average, illegal households pay more than $4,200 a year in all forms of federal taxes. Unfortunately, they impose costs of $6,950 per household.

I believe that Obama has the "Ox before the Cart" on this and many other important issues. not to belabor the point but his idea of talking to Iran bout stopping their nuclear program makes as much sense as most of his left wing platform!

A LOOK AT THE TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO BANKROLL OBAMA

In 2004 billionaire George Soros was "dedicating his life" to the defeat of President George Bush, whom he called a Nazi. Soros pledged to raise $75 million to defeat President Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, and personally donated nearly a third of that amount to anti-Bush groups He then gave $5 million to MoveOn.org, the group that produced political ads likening Bush to Adolf Hitler. He also contributed $10 million to the Democrat party.

Not content with his failure in 2004, Soros has picked the most Liberal Senator in the US Senate to back in 2008 Presidential race. On January 16, 2007, Obama announced the creation of a presidential exploratory committee, and within hours Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign finance laws.

Since 2003, tearing down what he views as the "fascist" tyranny of the United States, as he has put it, is "the central focus of my life." Apparently he believes Obama will help him accomplish his goals if Obama is elected President. Why else would he back him?
Through networks of nongovernmental organizations, Soros tried to ruin the presidency of George W. Bush "by any legal means necessary" and "knock America off its global pedestal".

"His view of America is so negative," says Sen. Joe Lieberman, who, like Gen. David Petraeus, has been a target of Soros' electoral "philanthropy." "The places he's put his money are . . . so destructive that it unsettles me." Soros' aim seems to be to make the U.S. just another client state easily controlled by the United Nations and other one-world groups where he has lots of friends.
Best known among these groups is MoveOn.org, a previously small fringe-left group to which Soros has given $5 million since 2004. Bulked up by cash, the group now uses professional public relations tactics to undercut the Iraq War effort, with its full-page New York Times ad that branded Gen. Petraeus "General Betray Us." A theme that Hillary gladly followed with her implication that Petraaeus was lying during his testimony to the Senators.
MoveOn.org previously put out ads depicting Bush as a Nazi, something that certainly echoes Soros' sentiment.An add that if Bush were a Nazi, would put all members and staff of MoveOn in a concentration camp!
"We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process," he told this year's Davos conference in Switzerland.

Soros also has financed spin outfits such as Media Matters that specialize in providing distorted conservative political statements as grist for leftist politicians and media.
.
Soros' efforts go beyond spin. He has also bankrolled groups involved in the manipulation of elections, an activity that has increased since his money came into the picture. Two groups — Americans Coming Together and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — were sanctioned recently by the Federal Election Commission for fraud.
Soros pledged $10 million to ACT, which has since been fined $775,000 for illegally funneling $70 million set aside for voter registrations to Democratic candidates.
He also gave at least $150,000 to ACORN, the left-wing group best known for pushing minimum-wage hikes, marching for illegal-immigrant amnesty and harassing Wal-Mart. ACORN has been accused of voter fraud in 13 states since 2004 and was convicted of falsifying signatures in a voter registration drive last July, drawing a fine of $25,000 in Washington state.
Soros says he has ended funding to voter-drive organizations, but he still heads a secretive rich-man's club called "Democracy Alliance" that has doled out $20 million to activist groups like ACORN.

Soros additionally finances groups best described as helpful to terrorists. Since 1998, he has given the American Civil Liberties Union $5 million to empower criminals, including lawsuits on behalf of terrorists' "civil rights."
Soros' Open Society Institute gave $20,000 for the legal defense of radical attorney Lynne Stewart. She was convicted in 2002 of abetting jailed terrorists after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
He has handed $3.1 million to the left-wing Tides Foundation, which funds organizations, such as the Sea Shepherds, Earth First! and the Ruckus Society, that have condoned or engaged in eco-terrorism.

Soros additionally finances groups supporting the interests of one-world government. While he has criticized the United Nations occasionally, he favors U.N. dominance in world affairs, sees the European Union as a model for "open society" and has called for a global central bank.
Anyone who doesn't agree with this vision, or who doesn't fit cozily into his multilateral model, gets a visit from Soros-backed groups.
MoveOn.org, for example, led the charge to keep John Bolton out of a permanent seat in the U.N., and Bankwatch piled on to topple Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank.
In fact, pick any cause that seeks to weaken the U.S. and it's hard not to find Soros' name on its list of financial backers.

Before his endorsement and massive financial contribution to Barack Obama's Presidential campaign, Soros backed the candidacy of John(Frenchy) Kerry.

His main objective appears to be to drive the Democrats to the far left and enforcing party discipline through fear of his power and money.

The strategy seems to be working. No Democrat had the courage to cross MoveOn.org after its libelous Petraeus ad. A symbolic vote in Congress censuring MoveOn.org for the Petraeus ad passed, but with the notable absence of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Election looming, neither wants to cross Soros' MoveOn.org.
Soros himself does not believe in victory in Iraq and wants to keep America from achieving it.
"The war on terror cannot be won," he has said.

With friends like this backing Obama, can we allow him the priviledge of four years in the Oval Office with the Country at war?

A Devils Stooge Regurgitates His Hate

A call to all people who value decency and decorum to write to HBO and demand that the slime with a body called Bill Maher be cancelled or they ill cancel their subscription to HBO.
If ever a man deserves to get fired this purveyor of filth and lies does. Imus was cancelled for less and Reggie White lost a TV spot for telling the truth about the sin of homosexuality.

Bill Maher insulted the Pope and the largest Christian Group in the USA by calling Catholicism a "cult" that promotes "organized pedophilia." This before Pope Benedict' XVI first visit to the United States.

The comments were made on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, Apr. 11. Maher went into a long monologue on his program comparing the Catholic church to a polygamous cult -- the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
He added to his vitriol by adding the accusation that the Pope is a former Nazi!
"I'd like to tip off law enforcement to an even larger child-abusing religious cult," Maher told his audience. "Its leader also has a compound, and this guy not only operates outside the bounds of the law, but he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats".Source: CNS News.com

I think it is time for all good Christians and Jews to stand together to say enough is enough. We live in a time when secular nihilism and Godless atheism has pushed religion to the back of the bus! The only way we can retaliate, no not turn the other cheek, is to boycott HBO and those who sponsor evil people like Maher.

Apparently his Jewish mother and Catholic father had little influence in establishing either Christian or Jewish values in this walking piece of garbage. Only someone with no charity, love or compassion in his soul could call a man who has dedicated his life to the teaching of Jesus, a Nazi!

BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS

I sincerely believe the truth will set you free, but following the false promises and lies of people who promise you things they cannot deliver will lead to nothing but darkness and disappointment.

Such is the case with Barack Hussein Obama as far as I am concerned.

He comes to the people with a promise of change. The implication being that he will change all things that are perceived as bad, by those who listen and believe in him, will be made better if we elect him President.

My problem is simple. It is the difference between truth and lies. After twenty years of listening to a racist radical Pastor and declaring him his spiritual advisor during his Presidential campaign. When news of the racist, anti-American hate speech spewn from Pastor Wright's pulpit surfaced, he removed him from his campaign staff, but still defended him publicly.Any person who had a little bit of respect and gratitude for the accomplishments that Obama has been able to achieve, would show his appreciation as a loyal American by denouncing the speech of Mr. Wright, if not denouncing him as a person.

He refuses to wear a symbol of the American flag on his lapel, but wore Muslim clothing when he visited Kenya. His picture in Somali garb obviously was not taken for American eyes to see, but to honor the locals. When the picture surfaced on the internet. Soon after the piture was published Wajir residents planned to demonstrate after their Friday prayers to show their support for the Illinois senator.
Mohamed Ibrahim, who attended one of two crisis meetings held in Wajir on Thursday by clan members who hosted Obama on his trip, said Washington must immediately make amends to them and especially to the elder pictured with him.
"The U.S. government must apologise to us as a clan and the old man," Ibrahim told Reuters by telephone. "We have been offended and we cannot afford to just watch and stay silent."

I don't believe for a moment that the U.S. Government needs to apologize for anything other than it is a shame the leading Presidential candidate appears to me more concerned about how Somalis perceive him than do the Americans like me that believe a man aspiring to be president should proudly wear the flag that tens of thousands have died for! And if that wasn't enough. Remember the Americans who lost their lives in Mogadishu of "Black Hawk Down" infamy. Their garb is the last clothing an American should wear out of respect for those who died there.

His lies about not accepting any money from Big Corporations, and Big Oil in particular have been proven false.Campaign contributions reports show despite Obama's claims, he's taken more Corp $$ than Hillary Clinton. GoldmanSachs $421,763 Ubs Ag $296,670 Lehman Bros $250,630 Nat'l Amusements Inc $245,843 JP Morgan $243,848 Sidley Austin $226,491 Citigroup $221,578 Exelon $221,517 Skadden, Arps Et Al $196,420 Jones Day $181,996 Harvard Univ $172,324 Citadel Investment $171,798 Time Warner $155,383

Then there his slam on small town Christians and Jews in Pennsylvania over this past week. In a speech given in "sanctuary city" San Francisco. Our own Sodom and Gomorrah by the Bay he had this to say: "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothings replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

For a man who wants to be President he shows very little appreciation for he fact that this country was founded by religious men.

I could go on listing reasons why this false prophet should not be the next President, but I believe there is enough here to awaken those who have been lulled to sleep by the smooth talking liar from Hawaii by way of Chicago.

HOW LONG CAN HATRED REMAIN UNCOVERED?

Little by little facts are being revealed on the internet, never to be seen on TV or in the print media, that Obama has some very hateful supporters and friends.

Fist there was the leak that Rev. Wright was a racist white hater who blamed all Black Americans ills on KKKamerica. Then the news that Obama and his wife were close friends with indicted criminal Tony Rezko in Chicago. Now comes the news of his long time association with former terrorists. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, former members of The Weatherman!

First, the hatred spewn from Wright's pulpit is a doctrine that is the inspiration of James Hal Cone, a professor of “Systematic Theology” at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Cone is also the author of several books, which a tendentious Wright urged Sean Hannity to read during a recent interview. It’s a useful suggestion. For example, there is Cone’s 1969 opus, Black Theology and Black Power, in which he helpfully explains:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community.... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love". And they call this a Christian religion?

Black liberation theology, as Wright has elaborated, is closely aligned with the “liberation theology” of Nicaragua during the seventies and eighties: i.e., the doctrine that catalyzed Marxist revolutionaries. It spurred an unabashedly Leftist movement that emphasized, you guessed it, the crying need for “change” — as George Russell aptly described it in a 2001 Time magazine analysis, “social change in the process of spiritual improvement.”

Old time Obama associate Bill Ayers is a self-confessed criminal and a violent one at that. Although he has not been convicted or imprisoned, he has not reformed himself or offered a critique of his past that is anything but self-congratulatory. Despite all this he is a professor at the University of Illinois. This tells me a lot about the mind set today of major Universities.

Ayers didn’t just carry a sign outside the Pentagon on May 19, 1972. He bombed it. As his memoir gleefully recalled, “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the b*st**ds were finally going to get what was coming to them.” Whether Pentagon bombing day was more or less ideal than other days, when he, Bernadine Dohrn and their Weathermen comrades bombed the U.S. Capitol, the State Department, and sundry banks, police stations and courthouses, Ayers does not say. But on each occasion, there was surely optimism that the b*st**ds were finally going to get what was coming to them.

“I don’t regret setting bombs,” he told the New York Times in 2001, sorry only that he and the others “didn’t do enough.” Like what? We can’t be sure, though National Review Online’s Jonah Goldberg recounts Ayers’s sentiments back in the day: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at".

It was at the Chicago home of Ayers and Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming “community organizer,” had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working “only to educate”(aka pollute the minds) — both Obamas continued their relationship with the Ayers.

In 2002 , Ayers and Obama voted to donate $75,000 of the money they controlled in the Community Action Group to the Arab American Action Network. The AAAN was co-founded by Rashid Khalidi, a longtime supporter of Palestinian “resistance” attacks against Israel, which he openly regards as a racist, apartheid state. Despite considerable evidence to the contrary, Khalidi denies having been a PLO operative or having directed its official press agency for six years (from 1976 to 1982).

Obama was front and center with Ayers and Dohrn at a farewell "bash" when Khalidi left Chicago for New York. Khalidi had hosted a fundraiser for Obama in 2000, when the latter launched his unsuccessful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A few weeks ago, Khalidi told WorldNetDaily.com he supports Obama’s presidential run “because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause,” and because Obama has promised negotiations with Iran".

And despite all this, the American Jewish populace and the Jewish Congressmen/women and Senators still seem to support Obama's quest for the Oval Office. Go figure?

WHY NOT CUT OFF GOVERNMENT FUNDING TO "FRISCO"?

If a school violates the Federal mandates regarding no religious instruction allowed within school property, or a University doesn't comply with affirmative action federal regulations. They will most certainly loose Federal funding.

Why then, can the City of Los Angeles or San Francisco get away with open defiance of the law of the Land regarding illegals?

Both cities have declared themselves as "amnesty" cities that offer sanctuary to illegals.

San Francisco is going so far against the law that they are advertising their sanctuary status.This information was publish on Michelle Malkins web page today.

"Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who is working on the planned outreach campaign to undocumented immigrants, said it will ensure “a lot of deserving people” take advantage of city services. “To me, it’s a logical follow-through.”
The announcements will feature Newsom and other city officials, according to meeting minutes from The City’s Immigrant Rights Commission.
The latest proposal is another action making San Francisco “the most flamboyant city in the country when it comes to working against federal immigration laws,” said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center of Immigration, a Washington, D.C., think tank favoring tougher enforcement of federal immigration laws".

I think flamboyant is a kind word. I would call them most flagrant!

Perhaps the Supervisors and residents who support this unlawful act don't give a tinkers damn about the economic affect their policy has on the low wage earner, but they should consider these facts.

Statistical analysis shows that when immigration increases the supply of workers in a skill category, the earnings of native-born workers in that same category fall. The negative effect will occur regardless of whether the immigrant workers are legal or illegal, temporary or permanent. Any sizable increase in the number of immigrants will inevitably lower wages for some American workers. Conversely, reducing the supply of labor by strict immigration enforcement and reduced legal immigration would increase the earnings of native workers.Source" Center For Immigration Studies

Good intentions that have an adverse affect are the devils workmanship. It would be more prudent if the City Fathers of two of the most beautiful cities in the USA had more concern for those who are here legally and need a decent wage!

WHO DOES LOS ANGELES MAYOR WORK FOR?

In what many will consider the most asinine request of the Federal Government, or a hint of the real loyalties of Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa. His request submitted by letter to the head of Home Land Security completely misses the point of the duties and responsibilities of this important government agency.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wrote asking federal officials to "rethink their policy on workplace immigration crackdowns that involve established businesses and to focus on employers that mistreat workers instead" Bloggers note: is this not the duty of his welfare and police departments?

He said, "ICE should spend its limited resources
targeting employers who exploit wage and hour laws".
Chertoff has not responded to the mayor's letter, but Homeland Security spokeswoman Laura Keehner said the department believes its priorities are correct.
She said work-site investigations focus on national security and public safety and that the agency also investigates companies it believes may have committed visa fraud, money laundering, and other violations. It is absurd that a mayor of one of the largest cities in the USA has to be reminded that illegals, no matter how much he feels they are needed, are still illegal and must be apprehended and dealt with.

I realize that a Mayor of Hispanic descent got elected because of the preponderance of Hispanic residents in Los Angeles County. Probably got some votes from illegals with forged documents for all I know. But he is still a Mayor in the USA, not a city in Mexico, and as such is only making a political statement for his electorate. A statement at least sounds stupid, and at the worst sounds criminal! Perhaps his Honor should consider rescinding his amnesty rule? Law-abiding citizens of all colors are uniting against the targeting of innocent black residents of Los Angeles by illegal alien gangs. The parents of murdered high school student Jamiel Shaw met with L.A. public officials yesterday, urging them to rescind the city’s notorious Special Order 40–one of the nation’s oldest illegal alien sanctuary laws. Enough is enough! She had this to say during a hearing about her son's murder, while she was serving our Country in Iraq. “I’m safer, somewhat, in Iraq than my son is safe on the streets of the United States. It doesn’t make sense,” she told the City Council.

According to the US News and World report It is estimated that 40% of all workers in Los Angeles County are working for cash and not paying taxes. In Los Angeles, 95% of warrants for murder are for illegal aliens and more than two-thirds of all births in LA County are illegal aliens. And that’s just for one county.

Then there’s the issue of national security. In November, a report from the inspector general’s office of the Department of Homeland Security revealed that half of the 91,516 illegal aliens from terror-sponsoring countries and those of ‘special interest’ apprehended at the border between 2001 and 2005 were released into the U.S. population. I admit that Mexico is not a sponsor of terror, but it provides an avenue for easy access to the USA.

If that was not enough to support the efforts of HSS in Los Angeles, consider this: A 2006 study by Edwin S. Rubenstein, a former contributing editor for Forbes, commissioned by the National Policy Institute last year, stated that, “Illegal aliens cost the American taxpayer $25 billion more than they pay in taxes.” Titled “The Economics of Immigration Enforcement,” the study concluded that they cost U.S. citizens an estimated $81 billion per year. “Amnesty would make things worse,” stated the study, “by adding another $44 billion to government spending for services.”

I think the Mayor needs to get his head screwed on straight or move to Mexico! I also think it is time to consider treating employers that hire more than 3 illegals as we do drug dealers. Confiscate all their personal an business professions. Then we would show we mean business about illegal employment!

FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

A TRAVESTY IN ILLINOIS

PC TRUMPS WOMAN'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH"What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death"!
The previous words were spoken at the conclusion of his speech in 1775, about the oncoming Revolutionary War. I use his words to illustrate how far we have gone off track with the Multi-culturism and Political Correct speech that has been gradually eroding away our Constitutional Right of Free Speech.A perfect example of the extremes that "PC" has brought to us, is this story from the Chicago Tribune.An Illinois delegate for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama resigned after using the word "monkeys" to describe black children playing in a tree, the Obama campaign said Tuesday. Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski, a trustee in the Chicago suburb of Carpentersville, was issued a $75 ticket for disorderly conduct after neighbors complained to police. She says the word wasn't meant racially and she will fight the ticket. "Given the incident, Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski is stepping down as a delegate and will be replaced," said Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage. The incident occurred Saturday, when two children were playing in a tree next door to Ramirez-Sliwinski's house. She said the parents were outside supervising the children, but she went over and told them to get out of the tree because she was concerned about the boys' safety and because the small magnolia tree was being damaged. The father of one of the boys told her it was none of her business, she told the Chicago Tribune, and "I calmly said the tree is not there for them to be climbing in there like monkeys." The mother of one boy called police. Cmdr. Michael Kilbourne said Tuesday a ticket was issued because the ordinance bans conduct "that disturbs or alarms people".Editor's Note: And the politically correct hate-speech insanity comes full-circle to bite a Progressive-Leftist right in the behind!
This woman didn't use the "N" word, she did not curse or swear. She did not threaten the children, but the police gave here a ticket-YES A TICKET, for "disturbing or alarming people"!What have we come to here in the USA, when anything you say can be interpreted as hurtful and result in an arrest or citation?What happened to freedom of speech.You can publish all the pornographic pictures you want on the Internet, put a Crucifix upside down in a bottle of urine, call an Irish man a "Mic"and it all is protected by the first amendment. Or so say the Courts of the Land.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York City as "Hymietown." Jackson first denied the remarks, but eventually apologized and much of the fall-out blew over. He remains the head of the Rainbow Push Coalition, and continues to speak out against similar remarks by others as if he was himself above and better than such things. Double standard at work?
One of the most hurtful things a person can say is to call a person a liar. General Petraeus was called a liar by prominent members of the Democrat party in both houses of Congress, and President Bush has been called a liar in the Newspapers and on the campaign trail innumerable times. No harm, no foul? Or are some groups out of bounds and all the rest of us fair game?

WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM?

The latest news from the Obama camp makes me question if all this money his and Hillary Clinton's campaigns are raising is from Americans.

Later this week, a small band of independent Obama supporters plan to launch another fund-raising Web site, AnObamaMinute.com, with the goal of raising $1 million dollars in one minute.
Last week the Obama camp announced it had raised $40 million in March alone, nearly twice the amount raised by Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) ring the same period. In all, he has raised some $234 million. Through February, Clinton's campaign had raised $156 million. In February alone, Obama raised $55.4 million , Hillary raised $34.5 million and McCain raised $10.9 million dollars. It looks as though this will be the most expensive Presidential campaign in history. With an estimated $800 million being spent by the candidates for the Presidential election by November.

Will it all be from Citizens of the USA?

Everyone that has watched the Clinton "machine" operate during the 90's knows that the Clintons have been able to tap into the wells of wealth. In fact the Congressional Committee on Government Reform held a hearing 5/11/1999, in which they discussed the $300,000 that Mr. Chung alleged;y received from the Communist Chinese head of Military Intelligence to contribute to Democrat campaigns.

They also revealed that 121 people they called to testify refused, and 80 more took the "fifth" when they appeared.

Names like Charlie Trie, Mr. Sun and Mark Middleton who received close to a million dollars from the Chinese were discussed. The conclusion was that there is a problem with foreign contributions that find their way into political campaigns despite the fact that it is against the law!

Now we hear of the mega millions that Obama is raising, a great amount of it on the Internet. It raises a question in my mind just who is making these contributions?

As everyone who is familiar with the Internet knows, the Internet is a World wide network. Could it be that many of these contributors are people in Arab Countries who know Obama will be softer on them than McCain or Hillary, or from European and Asian Countries that would love to see a man in the Oval Office who would weaken the military might of the USA?

It is entirely possible that the Europeans, Russians, Chinese Communists and many other Countries that hate the USA are secretly putting money in the hands of the candidate whom they believe will be more concerned with World government than he is with the sovereignty of OUR Country.

Since 2003, when the Supreme Court upheld it, McCain-Feingold has failed spectacularly in its stated goal of reining in fat-cat donors. In fact the largest domestic donors since 1989, are unions,and they tend to contribute to Democrat candidates. Top 10 domestic donors:
American Fedn of State, County & Municipal Employees
$39,165,934
AT&T Inc
$38,929,795
National Assn of Realtors
$31,928,656
American Assn for Justice
$28,539,389
Goldman Sachs
$28,367,132
Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
$27,580,809
National Education Assn
$27,355,449
Laborers Union
$26,269,589
Service Employees International Union
$25,408,993
Carpenters & Joiners Union
$25,389,432

As you can see, all but three are Unions or Trade organisations. Data provided by FEC as of 3/3/08.

Has the Political process of election been sold to the highest bidder? It appears to me that it is time for term limits, and more intense scrutiny over election contributions received via the internet.

THE DEMOCATS BARE THEIR CLAWS

Even as the London Times, not an admirer of President Bush, headlines the fact the The leader of the Madi army is willing to lay down the arms of his 60,000 man militia. The "shecat' Speaker of the house and the two Democratic aspirants to the Oval Office show their animus toward the Iraq war in general and the Generals leading the fight. The line in the sand has been drawn. The Democrats fervently want a withdrawal and a symbolic failure in Iraq, and no amount of good news will dissuade them or their sycophant Media to let up on the attack against our effort in Iraq.

Never the less, I enclose an excerpt from the London Times that I doubt you will find in either the visual or print media.

"Iraq’s largest and most dangerous militia will voluntarily disband if Shia scholars advise its leader to do so, officials said yesterday — a dramatic move that could quell much of the fighting in the war-torn country.
Aides to Hojatoleslam Moqtada al-Sadr said that he would send delegations to Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, a moderate religious leader in Najaf, and to senior clerics in Iran to consult on whether he should stand down his 60,000-strong al-Mahdi Army.
The sudden announcement — the first time that the rebellious cleric had offered to disband his forces — came as US and Iraqi troops were poised for a key offensive into his Baghdad stronghold of Sadr City".
A massive American and Iraqi security presence had ringed the area, with police and soldiers guarding every exit with many predicting a final, bloody showdown as popular support drained from al-Mahdi Army"

Speaker Pelosi had the gaul to warn them before General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker have spoken one word to the Congressional Committees. On April 4, Pelosi admonished General David Petraeus not to “put a shine” on developments in Iraq when he and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker testify before Congress this week.

Senator Obama appears to ignore the military success and will question the progress that appears to not have been made in forming a stable government. Obama's advisers said he also intends to focus his statements and questions on the future in Iraq, such as whether the war is making Americans safer, how it has affected the military's ability to respond to threats around the world and whether Iraqis are taking responsibility for their country.

Clinton's spokesman said she expects the committee will question Petraeus and Crocker closely on the lack of political progress in Iraq, the rising influence of Iran in the region and the strain on the military caused by the large numbers of troops serving in Iraq.
Both Democrats have changed their criticism from the lack of military success, including comparison of Iraq to Vietnam, now that the "surge" has produced positive results. They now attack with criticism of the "nation building" efforts in Iraq.

True Patriots, with good heads and good hearts, would cheer the results of the heroic military men and women;s success, and reserve criticism of the fledgling government until a final defeat of the forces of evil, raical Islam, has been ccomplished.

JUST A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS FOR PATRIOT ACT

Since August 15 , 2007 ACLU and their leftist lawyers have challenged the legality of the Patriot Act , and the Leftist Media has been a willing accomplice in the effort to prevent the renewal of the expired act. Democrats have lined up to defend the ACLU position, despite the fact that there is evidence of spies and covert agents for China, Russia, North Korea and even Israel at work gathering classified material from all departments of our government.

Some spies have been "moles" for decades inside the Defense Department, CIA, NSA, FBI and State Department.Aldridge Ames is a prime example. He spied for the Soviets within the

CIA for many years before being apprehended in 1994.

We have the threat of Radical Muslim spies for alQaeda, and Hamas doing their utmost to learn sensitive information about our war plans to fight Islamic terrorism, and funding that comes from the USA to Muslim terrorists.

An example of the effectiveness of the counter espionage units within the USA intelligence community is this case that just concluded with the sentencing of a Chinese spy to 24 1/2 years in federal prison for spying.

According to US intelligence and Justice Department officials, the Mak case represents only a small facet of an intelligence-gathering operation that has long been in place and is growing in size and sophistication. The Chinese government, in an enterprise that one senior official likened to an "intellectual vacuum cleaner," has deployed a diverse network of professional spies, students, scientists and others to systematically collect US know-how, the officials said. Some are trained in modern electronic techniques for snooping on wireless computer transactions. Others, such as Mak, are technical experts who have been in place for years and have blended into their communities.

The Protect America Act modernized the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)was passed by Congress, to provide our intelligence community essential tools to acquire important information about terrorists(aka:spies)who want to harm America. The Act, which passed with bipartisan support in the House and Senate and was signed into law by President Bush on August 5, 2007, restores FISA to its original focus of protecting the rights of persons in the United States, while not acting as an obstacle to gathering foreign intelligence on targets located in foreign countries. By enabling our intelligence community to close a critical intelligence gap that existed before the Act became law, the Protect America Act has already made our Nation safer.

The ACLU and Media have tried to destroy the Act by spreading untruths about it that I list below.

Myth: The ACLU has claimed that "Many [people] are unaware that their library habits could become the target of government surveillance. In a free society, such monitoring is odious and unnecessary. . . The secrecy that surrounds section 215 leads us to a society where the 'thought police' can target us for what we choose to read or what Websites we visit." (ACLU, July 22, 2003)
Reality: The Patriot Act specifically protects Americans' First Amendment rights, and terrorism investigators have no interest in the library habits of ordinary Americans. Historically, terrorists and spies have used libraries to plan and carry out activities that threaten our national security. If terrorists or spies use libraries, we should not allow them to become safe havens for their terrorist or clandestine activities. The Patriot Act ensures that business records - whether from a library or any other business - can be obtained in national security investigations with the permission of a federal judge.

Myth: The ACLU claims that the Patriot Act provision about delayed notification search warrants "would allow law enforcement agencies to delay giving notice when they conduct a search. . . . This provision would mark a sea change in the way search warrants are executed in the United States." (ACLU, October 23, 2001)
Reality: Delayed notification search warrants are a long-existing, crime-fighting tool upheld by courts nationwide for decades in organized crime, drug cases and child pornography. The Patriot Act simply codified the authority law enforcement had already had for decades. This tool is a vital aspect of our strategy of prevention - detecting and incapacitating terrorists before they are able to strike. Source:Dept. Of Justice Web Site

During the Cold War, most espionage was conducted by the Soviet Union and associated Communist countries in Eastern Europe. The surprising thing is how many other neutral or allied countries have also been involved in espionage against the United States. American citizens have been arrested for conducting espionage on behalf of South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Israel, Netherlands, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Ghana, Liberia, South Africa, El Salvador and Ecuador. Information is based on the 111 cases in which offenders succeeded in passing information.

It is not surprising that 51% of espionage offenders have foreign interests. In considering the security risk associated with foreign interests, it is important to distinguish between susceptibility to recruitment and vulnerability to being targeted for recruitment. Foreign interests do not make one more susceptible (less loyal), but they do make one more vulnerable. Americans with foreign interests have valuable language skills and area knowledge. Because of these skills, they are more likely than other Americans to be in positions where they have access to classified information. They are more likely to have contact with foreigners and more likely to feel comfortable dealing with foreigners. They are also more likely to be accessible for assessment and to be targeted for recruitment by foreign intelligence services. Thus the need for surveillance of Americans in sensitive positions.

Perilous times require severe and often unusual procedures to apprehend those who would betray our Country!

WHAT USA CITIZENS HAVE IN THEIR FUTURE?

In January 2005 the European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) commenced operation as the largest multi-country, multi-sector Greenhouse Gas emission trading scheme world-wide. This is not unlike the Commodities Exchange.

The ETS, now in its second phase running from 2008-2012, allocates a fixed quota of carbon credits, each allowing the bearer to pollute the equivalent of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. Member states are then free to trade credits among themselves.
EUAs, the carbon credits traded under the ETS, lost ground on Wednesday, as December 2008 futures on the European Climate Exchange closed 61 cents or 3 percent lower at 19.70 euros a metric ton.
The benchmark futures have lost almost 12 percent since Friday's close, though many attribute it to weakness in energy prices and uncertainty in the global economy.

Allowances traded in the EU, ETS will not be printed but held in accounts in electronic registries set up by Member States. All of these registries will be overseen by a Central Administrator at EU level who, through the Community independent transaction log, will check each transaction for any irregularities. In this way, the registries system keeps track of the ownership of allowances in the same way as a banking system keeps track of the ownership of money. SOUNDS TO THIS BLOG MEMBER AS WORLD GOVERNMENT CONTROL!

"Market-based solutions in the form of cap-and-trade are a key component of the comprehensive policies to combat climate change. Alongside other emissions reduction strategies and technology promoting policies, market mechanisms offer the opportunity to achieve maximum greenhouse gas emissions reductions on a global scale in the most economically efficient manner. Market-based solutions result in emissions reductions and accelerate the development, diffusion and deployment of low-carbon technologies".

Despite the fact that the United States Senate refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, because of the fears that it would cripple our economy. There are a few Eastern States in the United States that have signed on independent of National consensus to this Carbon scheme. The States who are members presently are listed below.

California
New Jersey
New York
Maine
Maryland
In fact under the cloak of media censorship, the following Governors have joined as Media spokespersons. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (CA), Ex- Governor Eliot Spitzer (NY),and Governor Jon Corzine (NJ).

My question is why does the Media not make note of this deliberate effort to undermine the will of the Senate?

Proponents of this world government control, that will supersede our National Laws, believe in the concept of financial penalties for "carbon polluters". This statement illustrates where "Goreites" are heading us. Might as well cede control to the UN!

"The risks posed by climate change can be minimized by immediate, ambitious and comprehensive action. Local, state, national, regional and international governments must implement mutually reinforcing policy frameworks(aka: controls) aimed at addressing climate change. Action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is significantly less costly than the potentially catastrophic consequences of inaction; and immediate action is less costly than delaying our responses".

This is the same scare tactic that has always been used by those who want to take control away our freedoms.

Given the fact that scientist have discovered that there has been no increase in the World temperature in the past two years, and the fact that third world countries, of which India and China are included, have failed to agree to any carbon limitations. We are facing a massive redistribution of wealth from the so called "rich" nations to the "poor nations".

Reuters reports the following: "At the week-long Bangkok conference, the World Bank pushed its proposals for a $5-10 billion Clean Technology Fund, a $500 million "adaptation" fund and possibly a third fund dealing with forestry".

And Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.This is nothing more or less than Marxism at it's ultimate!

While Food Supplies Get Scarce We Swim On Lake Of Oil

Very recently, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land survey...
It was conducted to determine the official amount of oil a thousand feet deep in the Rocky Mountains...They reported this stunning news:We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen
...And it’s all right here in the Western United States. James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says, “We’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East.”
More than 2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped.
“That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today,” reports The Denver Post

While we sit on an ocean of oil that could make the USA independent of the "bloody" Arabs, food grains are being diverted from the production of things people need to sustain life, to a "hair brained" fuel called "bio-fuel.

A fuel made out of any grain product that is more costly to make and less fuel efficient when it is used!

Refineries that are already more than forty years old and burdened with at least a dozen additives that must be added to gasoline processed to comply with various State laws. Now have to retool to make the wonder fuel. A fuel that destroys fuel injectors and has a bigger "carbon foot print" than gasoline!

If you haven't noticed food prices on cereals, breads, ice cream and most everything we eat has gone up since the "Goreites" convinced even President Bush and aspiring President McCain of the need to convert to bio-fuels. The main reason is this:Corn prices jumped to a record $6 a bushel Thursday, driven up by an expected supply shortfall that will only add to Americans' growing grocery bill and further squeeze struggling ethanol producers.
Corn prices have shot up nearly 30 percent this year amid dwindling stockpiles and surging demand for the grain used to feed livestock and make alternative fuels including ethanol. Prices are poised to go even higher after the U.S. government this week predicted that American farmers -- the world's biggest corn producers -- will plant sharply less of the crop in 2008 compared to last year. The F word will soon be heard, and I don't mean the nasty word, but famine!

Everyone, including myself, wants clean water and air that is safe to breath. But the approach we have taken will not reduce the carbon monoxide in the air or the nitrous oxide that diesel trucks give off profusely. What it will do is provide a famine in third world countries and a food shortage here in the USA that is unimaginable by the average American.

For the sake of the spotted owl, snail darter and the Salt Creek Tiger Beetle, people like the The World Conservation Union(IUCN) have convinced our elected representatives that drilling for oil is less important to our way of life than these creatures survival.

The next time you fill your gas tank don't curse big oil. They make 8% profit no matter what the cost at the pump. Blame the politicians and the Leftists who influence policy in Washington. And it will only get worse, until people finally wake up to the biggest hoax perpetrated on the American people in the past hundred years. By then Gore, Bush and many other politicians and corporate types will have made their millions on the newest scam, carbon credit trading, and our way of life as we know it today will have vanished!

His Worst Nightmare!

Not only does Senator Obama have to carry around his neck the heavy weight of his racist Pastor, and his indicted Syrian born friend, Tony Rezko.

Now news comes that the worst President this Country ever had, is supporting Obama!

The "myway" news site has an article today, written by Ben Evans, that details an interview with Carter during which the following is quoted : "Former President Carter left little doubt this week about whom he'd like to see in the White House next year".
Speaking to local reporters Wednesday on a trip to Nigeria, the former Democratic president noted that Barack Obama had won his home state of Georgia and his hometown of Plains.
"My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama," he said at a news conference, according to the Nigerian newspaper This Day. "As a super delegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for, but I leave you to make that guess."

President Carter, forever remembered for 18% interest rates on money, gas lines around the block, and the deposing of an American ally, The Shah of Iran. This led to the take over by the ayatollah Khomeini, who promptly killed over 20,000 pro-Western officials, and you know what he plotted for 9/11/2001!

During Carter's Presidency, the U.S. Embassy in Iran was stormed and 52 Americans taken hostage for 444 days. America's lack of resolve was confirmed in the jihadist mind, so on Nov. 4, 1979, 400 Khomeini followers broke down the door of the embassy in Tehran, seizing the compound and the Americans inside. The hostage takers posed for the cameras next to a poster with a caricature of Carter and the slogan: "America cannot do a damn thing". They were correct for over 400 days!

Carter's anti-Israeli, pro-Plalestinian stance and his coziness with Venezuela's Chavez and former dictator Castro won't add to the vote tally of Jewish and Cuban American votes for Obama.

With the crisis brewing in Iran over their quest for nuclear weapons, and the "saber rattling" of Putin in Russia. The one thing this threatened Free Country doesn't need is a "clone" of Carter.
