When is a Law not a Law........When its SB1070

.......I am kind of lukewarm about the SB 1070 ruling yesterday. In imposing an injunction on parts of the law but allowing other parts to go forward the Clinton Appointee Judge (a woman) seemed to be appeasing both sides of the law. Like the laws OK but its not OK. I have read some stupid decisions but this takes the cake. She stuck down a section that requires an immigrant to carry their immigration papers as a state crime when it is already a federal crime. According to Judge Ridiculous ruling if a federally insured bank is robbed (a federal crime) then Arizona cannot charge the robber with a State crime....In the case of requiring State and local law enforcement to check the immigration papers of suspected illegals she said that it would place an undo burden on alraedy overworked Federal authorities. Judge denser than a dust bunny shouild have recused herself on the grounds of being to wishy washy and allowed a real Judge to rule on SB1070. Oh well I am glad Arizona will immediately appeal the Goodies for Gonzo ruling to the 9th Circuit and all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary............Seems like the will of the people will be put aside in favor of an unelected Bozo Judge. God help the people and God bless America.

DISCLAIMER: ....Warning this blog contains content extremely offensive to Liberals, touchy feely people, certain tree huggers and know it all's. You will best be served on the grounds of being Miteehighly upset and to read something else.........
.....Last April 2009 the Department of Homeland Security issued a letter advising State and Local authorities to be ever mindful of certain veterans groups and right wing extremists as they have a potential to pose a threat to this Country. They are usually aligned with divisive issues like opposition to Abortion, Taxes and big government in general. You know just like that "racist" organization that Liberals like to shout at us, the Tea Party movement. This directive was signed by Janet Neapolitan the Director of the DHS. According to that bulletin the Madam Director suggests that I pose a threat to America. Lets see just what kind of a threat I am and you can decide.......
.........I served this country faithfully for 30 years with long separations from my family, long hours and low pay always putting country ahead of self. I spent many major holidays in far away places guarding the freedoms so that others could be with their families in comfort and safety. I pay my taxes in full and on time. I love my country and am not ashamed to admit that to anyone, anywhere. I believe that evil must be confronted with overwhelming force and that any enemy whether foreign or domestic must be destroyed. I believe the unborn are the most vulnerable people in the world and that they must be protected. I believe in God and pray to him everyday. I believe that the Founders knew what they were doing when they wrote the Constitution and that it means what it says. I do not believe it is a document that is subject to change based on whats popular or politically correct. I believe that we are a nation of laws and that people who enter this country "ILLEGALLY" should not be rewarded for their crimes. I believe that an unarmed nation is a nation of slaves who serve at the whim of government. I believe the Second Amendment affirms a pre existing right for individual possession and carrying of firearms. I believe the Tenth Amendment is explicit and reaffirms the limited power of government. I believe that my rights were endowed by my creator and that government cannot take them away. I believe that American citizens have a duty to resist the government when it oversteps its bounds and that our Founders made it very clear that it is our duty to get rid of an oppressive government. I believe that America is a great country and so exceptional that we never have to apologize for who we are. America has done more to advance humankind than any other country on this planet and that we are the most generous nation in existence. I believe that President Obama has Socialist leanings who will implement policies that are harmful to this country and that it is in America’s interests for his policies to fail. I also believe that his color is not an issue and that he is to be judged based solely on his merits and my values.
......... There is no doubt about it, according to the DHS and many right here in SFF I am a right wing extremist of the worse kind, a Christian. I would argue that I am a normal American who is proud of his country and that those who are trying to radically change it are the extremists.
Be that as it may, if having my beliefs makes me a right wing extremist then it is a title I carry with honor and dignity.............God bless the Tea Party movement, all the other right wing extremist like me and God bless America.

NAACP has a new KKK......
|
Jul 26, 2010 5:06 pm

.......It is unfortunate that a once-relevant and impactful organization the NAACP is looking for relevance in the wrong place, namely, race. It should be about solving problems and uniting people instead of dividing people with baseless claims of racism. The issues they should be addressing are increased high school drop-out rates, increased incarceration rates, increased out-of-wedlock birth rates and unemployment rates among blacks that are 50 percent higher than the national average. At their recent Convention in Kansas City the Major topic reported on was the Tea Parties supposedly being infiltrated by white supremacy racist's. The pressing issues of the Black community were completely ignored and even the First Lady Michelle Obama spoke about of all things nutrition in the black community........,.
.......With the KKK so marginalized one hardly ever hears about them anymore a new group is needed to take their place. I can only assume that addressing the real issues in Black America of unemployment, sorry education and moral values do not bring in donations like demonizing the National Tea Parties as a racist organization can. To the NAACP disagreeing with the President’s policies and those of the Democrat-controlled Congress constitutes racism in their eyes. Here is a News Flash for them ......This isn’t about race. This is about results, and the results by this administration and this Congress are missing in action. Tea Party people are not racist. They are patriotic Americans who want the greatest country in the world to remain the greatest country in the world. We are exercising our right to speak out against bad public policy, even if the President is black..........God bless the Tea Party and the United States of America.

Busting the Abortion Myth.......

Jul 25, 2010 2:54 pm

........On 9/11 Islamic Jihadist Terrorist flew planes into our symbols of America's greatness killing 3500 innocent people. In addition to those innocent people 4000 other innocent children were killed by Terrorists not flying planes but wielding an Abortionist knife. Another 4000 were killed on 9/13 and another 4000 on 9/14. That's 28,000 each and every week. 112,000 every month and 1,460,000 each year......In 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v Wade they could not decide when Human life began. At the time science had not evolved to the point where it is now. We now know and it is proven that at the moment of conception the fertilized egg has its own unique genetic make up entirely different from the Mother or Father. When Margaret Sanger founder of Planned Parent(abortion)hood said of the right to an abortion that a women has the right to do with her body as she wishes . We now know that baby she is carrying is not her body. Roe v Wade is bad law just like Slavery was bad law. Back then Slavery was a multi million dollar enterprise. It took the abolitionist, freedom riders, the underground railroad and the most horrific war in our history to get it overturned. Today the Abortion Industry is a multi million dollar enterprise. It will take a huge effort to get it overturned. I see inklings of those things occurring today in opposition to Abortion on demand. If you have a conscience or any morals you must vote those Pro-Choice candidates out of office. If you do not you are condoning a holocaust that this Country might not survive. Support Pro-Life candidates.........Remember just as we look back 150+ years at the evils of Slavery lets not let another 150 years go by before we look back at the evils of Abortion on demand...........
.......God grant us grace to be a light of truth in this present darkness of Abortion on demand. To find strength from God’s Spirit to rescue those who are perishing. May he who keeps watch over our souls strengthen us to do what is right, so that when he repays us according to our work, we may rejoice in the day of the Lord Jesus......In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,....amen.

Liberal Spending.........Its time to clean their clocks
|
Jul 25, 2010 7:58 am

.......I am a little encouraged for this past week as 4 Democrats finally stepped up to the plate and are backing the You Cut Program begun 8 weeks ago by House Republicans. Its goal is to save the American taxpayer billions of dollars in Harmless cuts to reduce the federal deficit. Each week the measures have been voted down by House Democrats......Under the YOU CUT program 5 proposals are offered for the people to vote, on line or cell phone, and the winner is brought to the floor of the House for an up or down vote. Last weeks proposal was to cut taxpayer subsidized "sleeper car" Amtrak service. Right now, people are enjoying first-class travel complete with evening turn-down service, complimentary movies, meals and access to first-class lounges thanks to over $100 million a year in taxpayer subsidies. Incredibly House Democrats defeated this cut, for the only reason I can think of is that it was proposed by Republicans. The arrogance and audacity of Democrats to waste taxpayer money for partisan gain borders on treason. One Democrat Representative actually said on the House Floor comparing this program to "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" that "the American People do not get to vote on what the House is doing." He just ignored and marginalized 1.3 million Americans who vote each week on which proposal to cut.......With President Obama signing bill after bill spending billions and billions at an unheard of record pace Congress has to stop the bleeding. I urge each and every person if you love this Country and desire to see America get back to fiscal sanity to participate and vote in the YOU CUT program. Its easy to do and only takes less than a minute.........My Representative is a Democrat and each week I send him an email asking him to justify why he voted not to cut each proposal. I have yet to get an answer. He will get an answer from me this November and I hope he gets an answer from others in our district as well.............This is what the TEA PARTY does. Takes action because it loves this Country and is concerned for its future. The liberal left and many Democrats call us Kooks and Racist and in spite of their smear tactics we are a growing movement and will be felt 100 days from now.....God bless the United States of America.

Thoughts of a Warrior.........

......As a long time member of the Marine Corps Association each moth I receive Leatherneck Magazine. Along with articles about past and present exploits of the Corps I never forget to read the Sound Off section where people write to the editor expressing their thoughts on a variety of subjects. Every so often one affects you and touches your heart. This is one such letter;.......
Dear Leatherneck,
.........I've never been more proud to wear the uniform than now, to see what the Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen over here are doing is inspiring........
......I attended a ramp ceremony a couple days ago . As I stood at attention and watched the ceremonial detail carry this Marine in his flag draped coffin up in to the C-130, to honorably return back to America. Back to his loved ones, I couldn't help but be inspired by the fact that young men like this Corporal were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for a people he didn't know and a culture he didn't understand. How much more fiercely would he have fought and willingly sacrificed for my wife and kids and those he knew and loved........
''''''''He was shot in the leg while on a patrol and the ground convoy that was evacuating him was struck by an IED causing two more casualties and delaying them getting to the landing zone. The MedEvac helicopter tried on multiple occasions to land to pick him up but kept taking such heavy gunfire they had to be waved off a couple times and try again. Despite the incredible risk to themselves and the crew the helo made a final attempt and got in to the LZ and picked this kid up. Unfortunately he had lost too much blood and died on the flight to the field hospital..........
......It's events like this that, while tragic, demonstrate that I am in the company of men and women of a rare breed, those that are willing to do whatever it takes to guard and defend their brothers in arms, the defenseless, and those they love and hold dear. Each and every service member is part of that brotherhood and that is something many of them have yet to understand but something we can all be proud of. As the quote from George Orwell so eloquently states, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on their behalf." ............
......May God bless you and your family who so graciously support us on our deployment to Afghanistan.
Fratres in aeternum, semper fidelis (brothers forever, always faithful)
Name withheld by request.
Major, USMC Bn Ex Officer, Afghanistan.......
May God bless General Petraus in his efforts to bring this horrific conflict to a successful conclusion. God bless our young men and women and that of our allies and God bless the United States of America.

Obama's Cabinet........Like the President they have no clue.
|
Jul 23, 2010 3:16 pm

.......The tradition of the Cabinet dates back to the beginnings of the Presidency itself. Established in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, the Cabinet's role is to advise the President on any subject he may require relating to the duties of each member's respective office.................
..........Last year J.P. Morgan thought it might be interesting to look into the private sector experience of Obama's Cabinet. America was/is in the middle of an economic disaster and the thought was that the POTUS might actually look to some people with a record of success in the private sector for advice. So a study is done comparing Obama's Cabinet to the cabinets of Presidents going back to 1900. The Presidential cabinet with the highest percentage of private sector experience was that of Dwight Eisenhower at around 58%. The lowest --- until Obama --- was Kennedy at about 28%. The average ran between 35% and 40% ........ Care to guess what percentage of Obama's cabinet has prior private sector experience? Try 7%.........
...........Now you know why Obama can't quite figure out how to create and grow jobs in the private sector. He's a big-government Community Organizer with a big-government cabinet. When your cabinet is made up almost wholly of people with nothing but government experience with a sprinkling of academia behind them you have to know that the private sector gets the short end of the stick and pretty much abused or ignored. To Obama and his advisors (the Cabinet) the sole purpose of the private sector exists to support and fund the imperial federal government ... and little else........He and they have no clue.......God bless the Tea Party and the United States of America.

Elana Kagan.........another salvo against the Constitution.
|
Jul 23, 2010 5:08 am

......With the Senate vote for Elana Kagans appointment to the SCOTUS scheduled before the August recess I am very disappointed by some Republicans who will vote to confirm her. According to their logic they believe that in most cases, Congress should defer to a president's preference in nominations to appointed positions. Well isn't that just dandy. To bad Democrats don't feel the same way. Long time Judicial committee member Demotraitor Arlen Specter had this to say as she danced around questions " her non-answers were all the more frustrating, given her past writings that the hearings were vacuous and lacked substance." Specter who voted against her nomination for her current position of Solicitor General will vote for her in the upcoming vote to appoint her. No wonder the people of Pennsylvania are fed up with this turncoat.....Maybe Republicans have short memories how conservative judges have been treated by Democrats. Guess they forgot about Judge Bork or even how Clarence Thomas was lynched by them in trying to prevent his nomination. Have they forgotten how Democrats unfairly played the race card to deny Judge Pickering who withdrew after a recess appointment instead of facing the Party of filibuster. Have they forgotten how Democrats again unfairly, based solely on political reasons, tried to hold up 9 other appointments but withdrew faced with a nuclear option...........Solicitor Kagan will be perhaps the most inexperienced Justice ever. She disallowed Military recruiters from the Harvard law school campus while this country was at war. She had to change her position when she learned that the law school would not get any federal funds. The reasons for her denial of the military did not change, she flipped because of the money. Just what we need another wishy washy ultra liberal justice like the last one the President appointed. She will be just like the other 3 Liberals and will rule against the very document She will swear to uphold if it interferes with what she thinks is "right" or "fair" or she just doesn't like it. Its just like the New York Yankees, they would never win another World Series because its not "fair" to all the other teams that they have won so many. I think the Yankees will be glad she's not going to be a Major League Umpire..........This travesty is just another example how this President goes against the people of this Country and the Constitution he swore to uphold and protect.........Elections have consequences and this November America is ready for a mid course correction.......God bless the Tea Party and the United States of America.........

Beating Obama in 2012........

......Yeah I know its early but posturing for the Republican nomination for President has unofficially begun. There's Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Guluiani and my favorite Jeb Bush. I even had thought about Gen Petraus but it seems he will be tied up in Afghanistan for a while. Then there is an assortment of lessor candidates. All of these candidates would beat Obama if they could run against his socialist agenda but the one thing they cannot do is beat him when he tosses the Race Card on the table. As the most Racial President I have ever seen he is a master at it even better than Sharpton and Jackson because he gets you to believe otherwise by telling you what you want to hear instead of what you want done. The one potential candidate who could take away, that Ace of Spades would be Herman Cain of Atlanta Georgia. In addition to serving as the former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza for 10 years, Cain, 64, is also former president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association and former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He's been vice president of Burger King and the Pillsbury Company, a mathematician for the U.S. Department of the Navy and a business analyst for Coca-Cola. He has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Morehouse College and a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University.......
......His father walked off the Farm at 18 and traveled to Atlanta where he worked 3 jobs to raise and educate his children. He inspired his children in the Jim Crow South to be better than average because average just don't cut it........
......Some on the left have labeled him as "Crazy". He readily admits, "They finally got it right , I am Crazy about the the Constitution, Crazy about the Declaration of Independence and Crazy about the United States of America." When asked about debating Obama he replied He will not do it because He wont be able to have a teleprompter with him. "He would never debate me face to face. ... That's where, quite frankly, I could beat Barack Obama." ........Yes you can Mr. Cain Yes you can.......
