Political Cartoon: Immigration Reform Trips over Russian Spies
Posted by: | CommentsIn this cartoon, Rob Smith, Jr., makes light of the Immigration reform issue as it is tripped up by news of Russian Spies having developed a sleeper group within the United States for years.
In this cartoon politicians are yelling, “We Need Immigration Reform!” while it shows them tripping over the serious Russian Spies issue.
If immigration reform, or amnesty as most of us would view it, passes, I am left wondering just how many terrorists will then become citizens since they have been using our wide open borders to come into the United States for years?

Obama objects to Issues Found in Immigration Rally (updated)
Posted by: | CommentsThe President repeatedly gives well prepared speeches against the name calling and labeling found in speeches and rallies being found all across the United States these days. Some of which are grass roots attended and funded, and others are funded by high level groups that bus in their attendees. This video makes light of his speeches while showing the extremist structure of the Atlanta, Georgia Immigrant Reform Protest that took place this past weekend. Events just like this one took place all across the country this past weekend. Some of which caused a great deal of destruction as angry protesters let their destructive nature surface.
The funding behind these protests continues to be exposed as groups supporting a socialist agenda and union organizations. To learn more about who continues to fund and fuel the anti-American sentiment I recommend tuning into Glenn Beck‘s FOX News program.
Michelle Malkin reported on the events with her, “The May Day angry mob you won’t see“, article.
Radical Immigration Reform Rally Takes Place in Atlanta, GA
Posted by: | CommentsIn the midst of the illegal immigration bill passed recently in Arizona, immigrants decided to attend rallies all across the United States (See embedded video). We have all heard all the people speaking for and against the bill. Many of those who have chosen to support the passing of the Arizona bill have actually chosen to read the bill to understand the language within it. While those opposing it choose to just take someone’s word that the bill will give police an open ticket for racial profiling, when the language actually carefully worded in a way to prevent racial profiling from taking place.
Those attending the rally in Atlanta did not choose to say the Pledge of Allegiance, nor did they sing the National Anthem, while the Tea Party Events all across the country did both with great pride.
While I cannot verify this, it is safe to assume that many participants of Tea Party Rally’s were legal citizens of the United States of America. On the other hand, it is fairly safe to say that there were a large number of illegal immigrants attending the Immigration Reform Rally in Atlanta and many other cities across the nation.
While the Tea Party’s have been accused of including mostly white people, which hasn’t always been true. On the other hand the Immigration Reform Rally featured mostly hispanic people. I’m not one to make any claim that either one is racist in any way. In fact, I know the Tea Party events have fought hard to keep racism away from their events. It is my intention to point out the obvious just in case the main stream media chooses to ignore these facts.
It is well worth noting those who were in attendance of the Immigration Rally in Atlanta, Georgia, were busy reading extreme Communist literature flyers which were handed out to participants of the event. It was obviously someone’s intentions to use the event to build real hatred through the use of real propaganda material like the one seen in the video below.
There is no doubt there is a big difference between the two events and the intentions of the event organizers. One group desires to salvage the United States of America and it’s Constitution, while the other group wishes to destroy everything the U.S. has ever stood for. The greatest differences can be seen when comparing videos of Tea Party events and the immigrant protests/riots in Arizona.
The fact is that we are a nation of laws which are clearly spelled out in the Constitution and legislation that has already been passed on the federal level. If we cannot uphold these laws, then what good are we as a lawless nation?
On Power- Part 1 of 3
Posted by: | CommentsThe Power of Persuasion, or the Persuasion of Power?
I use that heading in homage to the resignation of Andy Stern, the head of ACORN’s labor-relations alter-ego, SEIU. He advocated opting for the latter.
We, my friends, must choose one or the other. They cannot both exist simultaneously within a single ideology.
The brushfires of Liberty spoken of so long ago by Samuel Adams have again been kindled in our great nation. The message of Liberty is alive and well, and just as capable of persuading the public in 2010 as it was in 1775. Naturally, believing this, I am vocally supporting using the power of persuasion.
The story I am about to relate comes from very close to my home, but I am not getting into the weeds here. There is a larger (and extremely important) overall point to this, so please bear with me for a few paragraphs.
Here in the 5th Congressional District of Virginia, the revolution has begun, and it is not a pretty sight to behold. I am speaking of a series of elections that are currently taking place to select unit chairs, on the county, large city, and district levels, in the Republican Party.
One such election took place in Campbell County last week, and the sitting Republican chairman was rejected, by a small margin, in favor of fresh blood. The new chairman happens to be aligned with the TeaParty Movement, while the GOP establishment and even the current Virginia Lieutenant Governor endorsed the outgoing chair.
The same exact scenario unfolded in Bedford this past Monday, except that the margin of victory was not even close. The new chairman won 220-105.
This same outcome has, so far, played out in 12 local units. And you can expect encore performances, all across the country, as TeaParty groups become more active on their local political battlefields.
However, the fallout will be just as similar. I witnessed an event Monday night that sent cold chills to my bones. As the new unit chair took to the podium to thank the voters and accept his post, two entire rows of people (about 35, in all), stood up, as a block, and filed out of the auditorium.
Whatever your alignment, TeaParty or party-line, this is an egregious display of bad form.
But it should surprise no one.
The sad fact is this: power does corrupt. And when power is stripped from those who have proven (over and over) that they cannot be trusted with it, they will lash out. Whether it is the controlling party in a governing body, or an unpaid volunteer leading a small local unit, they have gone to great lengths to secure and maintain their modicum of power, and their sphere of influence is jealously guarded.
Just as the local party elites have shown their true colors when faced with their own mortality (in terms of influence), so, too, will the power-brokers inside the 495 beltway jealously guard the power they have amassed, as we the people assert our own authority under the banner of the 10th Amendment. And they will lash out, savagely, at all who oppose.
But we must be prepared for this, and these battles must be waged, for our success or failure there will ultimately predict the outcome of the revolution as a whole.
In short, we must take bold and decisive action to curb the confiscation of our liberty and financial security, but we must recognize that it is the usurpation of our power that has allowed it. And our complacence, by and large, has allowed our power to be taken from us and amassed in a Federal stockpile.
I am an advocate of redistribution, but not in the way our current Federal Feudalists mean it. I believe we need the sort of redistribution that our founders would support: the redistribution of power.
In my next post, I will delve into the strategies that are being used to achieve this goal, and whether they will work. Until then, thanks for reading, and keep up the fight.
What Part of Legal vs. Illegal Immigration Does Respect – Respeto Not Understand?
Posted by: | CommentsI believe Respect/Respeto (organization) understands very well what is legal versus illegal immigration. Ironic that they use bits of “The Declaration of Independence”, meant for United States Citizens, on their About Me page. This organization has been texting (and not only supported but participated in) to illegal immigrants evasion of legitimate canvassing sweeps of citizenry checks. Would this not be considered aiding and abetting or protecting non-citizens who are breaking U.S. Laws? They have a disclaimer to prove it.
The following was found on the RESPECT/RESPETO disclaimer page:

Unfortunately they combine the Hispanic U.S. Citizenry with the illegal Hispanic immigrant on their Facts Page. This is unequal under our laws and a slap in the face to legal immigrants and the Hispanic lineage and ancestry of natural born American citizens.
The following was found on the Facts Page of RESPECT/RESPETO:
During his campaign, President-Elect Obama promised to bring about comprehensive immigration reform. He repeatedly supported measures to fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy by increasing the numbers of legal immigrants in order to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers can’t fill. Further he supported a system that allows undocumented immigrants the opportunity to come out of the shadows and into a legal status.

Apparently they have missed the fact that the growing unemployment rate was last reported to be 10% nationally. There statement of, “meet the demand for jobs that employers can’t fill“, holds no merit in today’s current employment market.
The above research started with the following twitter tweets I made yesterday:

Human rights group launches countdown clock for immigration reform from President-Elect ObamaFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PHOENIX (January 05, 2009) – A human rights organization announced today that they have a message for President-Elect Obama; we’re counting the days until you fulfill your campaign promise to enact comprehensive immigration reform. On January 20, Respect Respeto will activate the Keep the Promise Clock, counting the days until President-Elect Obama institutes the much needed immigration reform policies promised to the Hispanic community throughout his campaign.
“The Hispanic vote was significant to President-Elect Obama’s Victory,” said Lydia Guzman, Executive Director of Respect Respeto. “Immigration reform needs to be a priority in President-Elect Obama’s first 100 days.”
During his campaign, President-Elect Obama supported measures to fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy by increasing the numbers of legal immigrants in order to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers can’t fill. Further he supported a system that allows undocumented immigrants the opportunity to come out of the shadows and into a legal status.
With the significant gain of seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate made by the Democratic Party in the 2008 elections, President-Elect Obama will be able to address immigration reform within his first 100 days. In addition, Senator John McCain will continue to be an ally in the Senate and assist the President-Elect in his efforts to craft and pass comprehensive immigration reform.
“The President-Elect needs to know that we do not consider these idle promises,” said Guzman. “There is no excuse for him to fail to deliver the Change We Need. He has the votes in Congress to get immigration reform passed. The Keep the Promise Clock will hold him and the Democratic Party to their promises.”

Michelle Obama wants America fit like the Military
Posted by: Andrea Mayer-Bruestle | Comments (2)On Thursday, January 27, 2011, Michelle Obama visited Fort Jackson in South Carolina and met with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling. The Lt. Gen. has been working to change the Army’s diet and exercise programs in order to improve the fitness our military men and women. According to news reports, Ms. Obama told the Lt. Gen. that she “was fascinated by the project” and reiterated her oft-repeated statement “that lack of fitness is ‘not just a health issue but a national security issue.’”
So, has Michelle Obama now decided that the reforms pushed through by Executive Order and hidden within the Food Safety bill and Healthcare Reform are not enough – that now she must work with the military to enforce those reforms and add to them? Will the next statement coming from the Office of the First Lady be this: “The State is to care for the elevating national health by . . . the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the LEGAL establishment of a gymnastic and sport OBLIGATION, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.”? How far does the First Lady plan to go?
