MoveOn.org - No Cash To Obama?

From the Washington Examiner.com:

MoveOn, a giant in the progressive political world and an early endorser of Barack Obama in 2008, warns that it might have to “pull the plug” on key campaigns to help Obama and Senate Democrats if its 7 million members don’t pony up with at least $5.

Uh oh.

Greece: the index of world's coming Euro crash

From Reuters.com:

May 29 (Reuters) - If Greece left the euro, living standards would plummet, incomes would be slashed by more than half, and inflation and unemployment would skyrocket, the National Bank of Greece warned on Tuesday.

In a report released ahead of an election on June 17 that may determine whether the country stays in the single currency, the country's biggest bank said the risk of Athens exiting the euro was no longer just a theoretical possibility, warning that the fallout from such a move would be dramatic.

"An exit from the euro would lead to a significant decline in the living standards of Greek citizens," the NBG wrote ahead of a vote which parties opposed to austerity measures that have kept Greece in the euro so far have a chance of winning.

The bank said per capita income would collapse by at least 55 percent, the new national currency would depreciate by 65 percent against the euro and a recession, now in its fifth year, would deepen by 22 percent.

Painting a dire picture of post-euro Greece, it added that unemployment would jump to 34 percent of the work force from around 22 percent now and that inflation would rise to 30 percent from its current level of 2 percent.

As I've said before, PIGS in Europe (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) will be the determinants in the future success or failure in Europe. And that so-called success or failure -- more likely abject failure -- will cross the Atlantic in pure microsecond internet style and impact our own stock market and banking system. Which may include not just a run on Greek banks, but an unhinged run on American banks.

This, I submit, is the lynch-pin upon which our global future rests.

Simple as that.

Gird thy loins, ladies and gentlemen.

P.S.
And all Mr Obama would have to do is to guarantee that, for the next five years, at minimum, the current tax cuts would stay in place. The American Economy would EXPLODE because there would be, at least, something predictable that businesses could rely upon for the foreseeable future. But, of course, ideologically, Mr Obama and his minions lack the capacity to see this as a viable solution.

US 9th Circuit Court: a $1 MILLION DOLLAR vacation on YOU, the American Taxpayer!

For reference, please see the US Debt Clock.

And with the US almost $16 TRILLION dollars in debt, and with $57 TRILLION in total debt including interest:

The federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals -- the most overturned court in the history of our nation -- (And resides in my state, Fornicalia!) has decided it wise to take a recess vacation on the Hawaiian Islands. To the tune of roughly $1 MILLION DOLLARS. It has 29 seats and the concurrent "support staff."

The main office:

THE JAMES R. BROWNING COURTHOUSE
95 7TH STREET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94103
Phone: (415) 355-8000
Hours: 8:30AM - 5:00PM

From the HawaiianReporter.com:

Newt Gingrich had the right idea all along. Unfortunately he is gone from the race now and what ever else Mitt Romney will or will not do, one of Newt’s better ideas will not be adopted.

What was that idea and what was he so right about?

He was right about the 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals and the need to simply abolish it.

The 9^th Circuit has not come out with a new outrageous decision. They do that all the time. No, the 9^th Circuit is doing something even more outrageous.

In the middle of the Great Obama Depression, the 9^th Circuit is blowing a million dollars so they can have a really nice getaway at a resort in Hawaii.

Travel alone for this conference is going to cost almost $700,000. Then you have the additional expenses that go along with that, including lodging and an almost $400 a day per diem. In addition, Breitbart.com estimates that there will be another $700,000 spent in salaries for the 267 Judges during their time in Hawaii.

The 9th Circuit not only defends its expensive actions but doubles-down:

Judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals are defending their plans for a million dollar conference in Hawaii in August in the face of questions posed by two Republican senators.

In a statement issued Monday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the court said the expense to taxpayers is justifiable. “As part of the Third Branch of government, the Ninth Circuit is fully aware of its responsibilities as a steward of public funds,” she said.

She also explained that the conference is authorized by law “for the purpose of considering the business of the courts and advising means of improving the administration of justice within the circuit [28 U.S.C. Sec. 333].”

The judges claim the conference fulfills this purpose, and say that their social activities will not be paid for by taxpayers. The letter from Sens. Sessions and Grassley cite snorkeling, yoga, sailing and many other activities as part of the itinerary.

So wait -- I get it now! This taxpayer debauchery is funded NOT by our taxpayer dollars but by, instead, their OWN personal and private dollars -- ?

Let me copy this again: The judges claim the conference fulfills this purpose, and say that their social activities will not be paid for by taxpayers.

If this Hawaiian retreat isn't being paid by taxpayers, or privately by all of those 9th Circuit individuals involved -- then it's perhaps paid by Red Lectroids from the 8th Dimension?

Hello? Anyone listening or reading? Can anyone adjudge these flacks as LYING SACKS OF SHIT?

Or am I simply another judgmental, obscene troll on my own blog?

Whilst you and I go bleeding, obstructed by federal regulations, whipped into submission by incontrovertible taxes, our paychecks cut, the benefits of parasites expanded --

-- our 9th Circuit DEITIES decide to spend your taxpayer LARGESSE on Hawaiian resorts, drinks with little umbrellas, really nice suites with Jacuzzis, and the concomitant security that necessitates.

I mean -- really -- if the 9th gets overturned again, don't you want them in their best possible mental spirits in order to make more ridiculous decisions likely to get ignored?

As supreme and imperial federal judges appointed for Life, I only want the best for them.

Or perhaps not.

You can do the math on this one.

Memorial Day 2012: "Rhetorically Proximate"

This is how the American Leftists "celebrate" Memorial Day on MSNBC. From NewsBusters.org:



Chris Hayes of MSNBC's Up With Chris Hayes says he is "uncomfortable" calling fallen US soldiers heroes.

CHRIS HAYES: Thinking today and observing Memorial Day, that'll be happening tomorrow. Just talked with Lt. Col. Steve Burke [sic, actually Beck], who was a casualty officer with the Marines and had to tell people [inaudible]. Um, I, I, ah, back sorry, um, I think it's interesting because I think it is very difficult to talk about the war dead and the fallen without invoking valor, without invoking the words "heroes." Um, and, ah, ah, why do I feel so comfortable [sic] about the word "hero"? I feel comfortable, ah, uncomfortable, about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don't want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that's fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism: hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

American Leftists fail to see the obvious squarely before them. Everything in their world in nuanced, gray, squishy, negative. They are GOWPs: what I term Guilty Overeducated White People: effete, superior, sanctimonious. They are educated, but they have not learned.

More and more, I find myself "uncomfortable" calling Leftists, Demorats and "Progressives" actual Americans.

God bless the American Soldier.

LOST: "Law Of the Sea Treaty," by Senators Hatch & Cornyn

Here we have LOST and the LOSS of sovereignty we face if the US ratifies this treaty. Hint: Ronald Reagan refused to sign this treaty in 1982.

From FoxNews.com:

The Law of the Sea Treaty Will Sink America's Economy
by Sen Orrin Hatch, Sen John Cornyn

Americans despise taxes. After all, one of the key issues that paved the way for the American Revolution was the unfair taxation that King George III levied against the Colonies.

Now some in the US Senate want to say yes to an international tax. It would be the first time in history that an international organization would possess taxing authority, and it would amount to billions of American dollars being transferred out of the US Treasury.

The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, or the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) is the vehicle through which such taxes would be imposed on U.S.-based commercial enterprises.

The treaty that Reagan refused to sign in 1982 is reappearing once again in the Senate. The truth is, LOST contains numerous provisions that hurt the U.S. economy at a time when we need more jobs – not fewer.

Under the guise of being for “the good of mankind, ” LOST would obligate the United States to share information and technology in what amounts to global taxes and technology transfer requirements that are really nothing more than an attempt to redistribute U.S. wealth to the Third World.

At the center of these taxes and transfers is the International Seabed Authority (ISA), a Kingston, Jamaica based supra-national governing body established by the treaty for the purpose of redistributing cash and technology from the “developed world” to the “developing world.”

Ceding authority to the ISA would mean that the sovereignty currently held by the U.S. over the natural resources located on large parts of the continental shelf would be lost. That loss would mean lost revenue for the US government in the form of lost royalties that the U.S. government collects from the production of those resources. According to the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Task Force, which is currently mapping the continental shelf, the resources there “may be worth billions if not trillions” of dollars.

In case proponents of LOST have not noticed, the US is over $15 trillion in debt, and we still have more than 20 million Americans who can’t find a job. The last thing we need to do redistribute funds from our country to our economic and strategic competitors.

To make matters worse, the US would have no control over how or to whom the taxes and technology would be redistributed.

Undoubtedly funds that rightfully belong to the American taxpayer would be sent to corrupt governmental regimes, make dictators wealthier, and could even be used for activities directed against the United States and our interests.

Under the treaty, the transfer of these funds does not end with nation states. These royalty revenues would even be extended to “peoples who have not attained full independence or other self-governing status.” That means groups like the Palestinian Authority and potentially other groups with terrorist ties.

Proponents of the treaty will claim that the technology transfer portion of the treaty has been significantly changed. In truth, nations with mining and resource recovery technologies like the United States will be obligated to share those technologies with Third World competitors, and that is one of the many issues, which trouble those of us opposed to the treaty.

In other words, US companies would be forced to give away the very types of innovation that historically have made our nation a world leader while fueling our economic engine.

Under the best of US economic circumstances, the Senate should say no to such an egregious breach of the trust Americans have placed in us. Our current economic struggles are all the more reason to say no to a treaty that is all cost and no benefit.

Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch is the ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee. Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn is a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee.

This insight into the LOST treaty couldn't be more insightful or succinct.

Any loss of our sovereignty can never be tolerated.

Lies Obama Told Me

In my continuing effort to bring the truth about Mr Obama to light in order to best sink his second term, I present this for your elucidation and enlightenment (thank you Jeff):

TERRY ANDERSON, a black Los Angeles talk show radio host, provides the following list of things Senator Obama said -- that aren't exactly correct -- and cleared them up for us:

1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
(Google 'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY; your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba
ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification
of that....and for more.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter... Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see
what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.

While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). Go to:

http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-Americ
an,_only_6.25%25_African

7.) I Never Practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.

4-3-08 Article 'Obama was 'quite religious in Islam''
"http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view"
"http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559"


8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).

February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times: Mr. Obama
recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn except how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise); you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine

13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, despite saying, live on TV, which you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I Miss-voted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

18.) I Was A Professor Of Law - NOT EXACTLY; you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it or create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America - NOT EXACTLY, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY; you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate - NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.

33.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - NOT EXACTLY, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

34.) I Don't Take PAC Money - NOT EXACTLY, you take loads of it.

35.) I don't Have Lobbyists - NOT EXACTLY, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.

36.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad - NOT EXACTLY, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.

37.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq - NOT EXACTLY, you weren't in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time.

38.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - NOT EXACTLY, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don't have to buy it.

39.) My uncle liberated Auschwitz concentration camp - NOT EXACTLY, your mother had no brothers and the Russian army did the liberating.

Read up, America. Know the man.

Know the Fraud he is.

Obama's CBO: let the "Bush Tax Cuts" expire and the economy is toast

Mr Obama's very own Congressional Budget Office (CBO) indicates a double-digit recession is in store for early 2013 if the "Bush Tax Cuts" are allowed to expire. From the WashingtonTimes.com:

Reducing or eliminating the fiscal restraint would boost economic growth in 2013, but that adopting such a policy without imposing comparable restraint in future years would have substantial economic costs over the longer run,” CBO said in its analysis.

Further:

Republicans remain adamant that the lower income- and investment-tax rates passed in 2001 and 2003 under President Bush, and extended in 2010 under President Obama, must be extended again.

“No economy can sustain such a hit without being hurled into recession,” said Sen Orrin G. Hatch, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees tax policy.

One thing both sides say they agree on, however, is the need to act now.

Last week, House Speaker John A. Boehner kicked off the conversation, drawing a line in the sand in saying that he won’t allow another increase in the federal government’s debt ceiling unless it’s matched dollar-for-dollar with future spending cuts — just as the 2011 debt deal was.

In truth, however, this may all be nothing but "whistling past the graveyard" because my own personal eye is on two countries: Greece and Spain.

If Greece kicks out the Euro and goes back to the drachma, and if Spain does likewise (back to the peseta), I suspect there will be even greater runs on Greek and Spanish banks. That will yield a major crisis for those two countries --Greece first.

And I, of course, always try to do what I call the "logical extension."

Might not panic in Europe translate to a "run" on American banks as well?

I can't help but wonder.

And still, the American public gushes over American Idol and the newest brain-dead entries on Twitter and Facebook.

Also, the Fornicalia legislature and Supreme Court anguished over how to micromanage lunches for employees.

Jerry Brown: My STUPID Fornicalia Governor

Who thought Facebook was invented in Fornicalia.

Uh. No.

Dude. So you never watch or rent movies? Failed to see "The Social Network"?

From the WashingtonPost.com:

In an appearance Friday on “CBS This Morning,” the California governor said his state is still the land of innovation and where Facebook was invented.

He added: “Not in Texas, not in Arizona, not in Manhattan and certainly not, you know, under the White House or the Congress.”

But interviewer Charlie Rose pointed out that CEO Mark Zuckerberg and others developed the precursor to the iconic social network at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.

First thoughts: props to Charlie Rose for having the guts to point out the obvious to another fellow Leftist. So FEW other "journalistas" could create that sack-up.

That said, Fornicalia is completely underwater in terms of its budget. Whereas before it was believed that my state's deficit was $9 billion dollars in January? Oh no. It's almost TWICE that: $16 BILLION dollars.

And, "somehow," you failed to see that coming?

In response, does my governor make the clear and obvious cuts?

Social programs? Useless state bullshit? Oh no.

He threatens EDUCATION and EMERGENCY SERVICES. Cops and teachers.

Because, due to HIS mistake, he wants taxpayers to HURT. He favors the parasites over the hosts.

Please let me announce: strike three and you're OUT.

And you wonder why Barrett won't sell or service their .50 cal rifles in Fornicalia? Though they're MANUFACTURED in Fornicalia?

Woman attacked while ordering lunch at McDonald's drive-thru

But because a WHITE woman was the victim, and the suspects were BLACK, this story will get buried nationally and covered-in-passing locally. From WTSP.com:

DENVER, Colorado (KUSA) - Police are investigating a vicious beating at a McDonald's drive-thru in Denver.

Shannon, who asked us not to use her last name, was the victim of an attack on May 9 just before noon.

The attack happened in the middle of the busy lunch hour at the McDonald's on 3300 Colorado Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

"I witnessed this young lady throwing trash out of her car and all I said was that it wasn't cool," Shannon said.

"She was right in my window just punching me in my face, pulling my hair," Shannon said. "She started biting on my hands so severely. I thought she was gonna bite 'em off, actually."

Then a man jumped out of the car and threw a soda through her window.

"He said, 'This is for you, you white bitch. This is a grape soda.' And then they took off," Shannon said.

The description of the suspects - two black women and one black man - is vague. The best clue police have to go on right now is they were driving a light-blue Cadillac with temporary tags.

Let's see: white woman, injured, her face punched, hair pulled, hands bitten, attacked by two black females and one black male who called her a "white bitch" -- sounds racially motivated.

But, of course, blacks can't be racist because they're black. They're to be considered Victims Now And Forever. Blacks simply cannot be racist. Period. Ever. No matter their conduct.

So the story gets buried nationally and fizzles locally. Sorry Shannon, no equivalent of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson for you. You don't rate. You're just a "white bitch." Live with it.

Excuse me, bartender, could I have an order of "Hypocrisy" all around, please?

China: In the driver's seat with the US, buying us OUT

Because it would appear that the US has decided China may bypass Wall Street and purchase treasuries directly from the government.

From Reuters.com:

(Reuters) - China can now bypass Wall Street when buying U.S. government debt and go straight to the U.S. Treasury, in what is the Treasury's first-ever direct relationship with a foreign government, according to documents viewed by Reuters.

The relationship means the People's Bank of China buys U.S. debt using a different method than any other central bank in the world.

The other central banks, including the Bank of Japan which has a large appetite for Treasuries, place orders for U.S. debt with major Wall Street banks designated by the government as primary dealers. Those dealers then bid on their behalf at Treasury auctions.

China, which holds $1.17 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, still buys some Treasuries through primary dealers, but since June 2011, that route hasn't been necessary.

The documents viewed by Reuters show the U.S. Treasury Department has given the People's Bank of China a direct computer link to its auction system, which the Chinese first used to buy two-year notes in late June 2011.

China can now participate in auctions without placing bids through primary dealers. If it wants to sell, however, it still has to go through the market.

The change was not announced publicly or in any message to primary dealers.

Why? Because the Obama Administration is embarrassed that China can now buy our debt directly. Because we are that far down the budget hole. And woe the day that China decides that it wants to call our debt. We would be flat owned -- literally -- by China. And beholden to them.

In that vein, China is now the largest world owner of movie theaters, having purchased AMC Entertainment. But it gets even "better" in terms of China's fiscal power through ownership:

In April, The Walt Disney Company China, Marvel Studios and DMG Entertainment of Beijing announced a production deal in which "Iron Man 3" will be co-produced in China. That follows the February announced that a $330 million joint venture between DreamWorks Animation, China Media Capital (CMC) and two other Chinese companies to establish a China-focused family entertainment company, Oriental DreamWorks.

China is a threat, and China is remarkably unstable. There are roughly 500 demonstrations a day in China -- primarily covered up and unreported by the press.

And your government pins its hopes on China?

Yes, that's how stupid and desperate is your current American government.

Under Barack Hussein Obama.

Illegal Mexicans: Pushing The US Envelope

Texas Fred posed a rather pointed post recently that, after reading, I feel compelled to interpret here because of the massive hypocrisy endemic in the issue.

He posited that perhaps immigration policy of the United States should be:

• 1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, and all government business will be conducted in our language.
• 2. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote, no matter how long they are here.
• 3. Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold political office.
• 4. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, nor any other government assistance programs.
• 5. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
• 6. If foreigners do come and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT options will be restricted. You are not allowed to own waterfront property. That property is reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
• 7. Foreigners may not protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag, no political organizing, no “bad-mouthing” our president or his policies. If you do you will be sent home.
• 8. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail.
  

This, it turns out, is the essential immigration policy of MEXICO -- not of the United States.

More specifically, as I wrote in this post, here are actual quotations from Mexican Articles:

* Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

* Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)

* Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)

* The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:

* Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

* A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)

* A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

* Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

* Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

* Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

* Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

* Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,

* “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)

* Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)

* Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:

* A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

* Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

Mexico is, in fact, the powderkeg at our southern border.

Fornicalia, my state, is already facing a spiraling alien arrest rate as I documented here.

Because Mexico is filled with dangerous and uncivilized barbarians terrorizing that country -- the likes of which we evidently wish to import here.

Leftists will bleat and whine: "but 'undocumented' detainers are down in the past few years! This issue is non-existant!"

Correct. Because America's economy is "in the tank." And ONLY because of that. Not because of massive efficacy on the part of our federal government -- on the contrary, our federal government has sued various states to keep state peace officers from enforcing illegal immigrant actions.

Mexico's immigration laws are already tougher than those proposed for Arizona. I would refer those interested to "Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion" — the General Law on Population enacted in Mexico in April 2000. Check out my prior articles here and here and here.

SCOTUS will rule on the issue in June, in re Arizona v US. Obaka will either win, or his policies will be shot down resoundingly.

That aside, I make mention of this topic now for one very salient reason:

Should Obaka be re-elected in November, you can be GUARANTEED that he will call for and attempt to successfully acquire AMNESTY for ILLEGAL MEXICANS in his second term as a "lame duck" president.

Because, after all, he doesn't have to worry about another election.

He can pull out all the proverbial stops.

He will do this for votes, plain and simple.

He will do this because illegal Mexicans want Free Cheese from the United States. That means from you: the US Taxpayer. It's an equal trade: Cheese for Votes.

And this, again, is a massive slap in the face to all those persons, Mexican or otherwise, who deigned to follow the law and seek lawful status in this country. And whose lawful status took, otherwise, years to obtain.

Melanin and the name "Mexico" doesn't matter to me. Estonia could be to our south and under the same circumstances I would be calling for the same strictures.

This country is a nation of laws.

When individuals and then -- its government -- can "pick and choose" which laws already on the books are worth obeying and enforcing. . .

Then why should any other citizen obey any law at all?

A SEAL speaks up about Obama's craven politics:

By Benjamin Smith

President Barack Hussein Obama – STOP using the Navy SEALS as a campaign ploy. Because with all due respect, (what little I have for you), you do NOT speak for me.

You have a movie about SEALS within the past year trying to identify with me, with the navy SEALS, and with anything that might improve your polling numbers…and yet it is all a sham to hide a weak un-American man desperate to claim the victories of others for his own.

You Sir are trying to take the credit for what the American People have achieved in killing Bin Laden. Your use of the SEALs accomplishment as a campaign slogan is nothing less than despicable. I, as a former Navy SEAL do not accept your taking credit for Osama Bin Laden’s death. The American Military accomplished that feat.

Yet now that it is useful, you Mr. President, continue to refer to the event as if it were YOU and you alone which accomplished the worthy task of slaying one of America’s greatest enemies. You say “I directed”, “I Continued”, “My Intelligence Community”, “My national security team”, “I determined that I had enough….”, “My direction…”

Yet reliable sources continue to report that not only did you attempt to stop or delay Bin Laden’s demise, you did not even leave the golf course for the situation room until 20 minutes before SEAL Team 6 took out Osama Bin Laden. Even the clothes you wore in the situation room betray this fact. This is a Commander in Chief? A man who takes credit for actions largely taken while he was out golfing?

We men who have taken the oath, say ENOUGH. You do not speak for me, a former Navy SEAL, or any one of the league of men whom I have earned the right to be among. You are simply a man running for an office. Yet you behave as a glory-hoarding ruler. You campaign to be our leader, yet in reality you wish to be our Master.

The American people are the ones who got Bin Laden… You did Not! We have fought wars and slugged it with Vast Terror Organizations to get to the man you say YOU killed. The United Sates of America has won you a title sir and you have spent the last three years trying to beg, borrow and bow as you GIVE IT ALL AWAY. You just happened to be president of the USA when WE THE PEOPLE got Osama Bin Laden. We do not see you as heroic or stoic, we see you as the guy who let America Go. We got fat and weak and you gave it all away. That is your credit – you bow to foreign leaders and pander to the press. You do not represent me as a Military Man. You do not represent me as a SEAL. You do not represent me as an AMERICAN!

You do not speak for me or any American military man because though you may now be Commander in Chief, you are not the man to whom we can point our sons and say “This is the American dream, this is American exceptionalism, this is what I wish for your future”, because you Sir are NONE of these things. You Sir, are the antithesis of American Exceptionalism. Your idols are Saul Alinksi and Karl Marx and your revolutionary dreams and anti-American ideals poison your every policy. Your every action betrays the fact that in your soul you do not understand what it is to be an American, not what America truly is. Your agenda from the beginning has been to get rid of and kill everything that is and ever was American. You who so easily dismisses America’s greatness and bows to foreigners… YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE NAVY SEALS. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE MILITARY MAN AND you SHALL NOT claim as your prize that which you have not earned. The Navy SEALS are NOT a campaign slogan to be bantered about for play. Nor are our accomplishments, including the demise of Osama Bin Laden, yours to claim.

So you DO NOT speak for me. And I will not stand for your use and abuse of my brethren the SEALS.

For Liberty,

Benjamin Smith

God bless the American Warrior.

Obama is no warrior. He is a squish. He neither knows the meaning of sacrifice or want or challenge or courage.

He is an Empty Suit.

Another reason I remind my dearest readers: you have never and will never see the word "president" directly along-side the name Obama. Perhaps you've noticed this by now. I've done this since 2008.

Because Obama is nothing but a mistake; a temporary "placeholder." He is a Kleenex to be tossed aside. And I deeply apologize to Kleenex.

Obama's Budget: completely KILLED by the Senate

Let me be blunt:

NO ONE voted for the budget submitted by Mr Obama on Wednesday.

NO ONE.

Not one Republican. Obviously.

And: not ONE Demorat.

The entire Senate killed Mr Obama's Glorious Budget by a BIPARTISAN 99-to-ZERO vote.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is called a remarkable slap-in-the-face to Mr Obama.

When you can't even get ONE of "your" party members to support you on your budget?

And whilst I'm on the subject of Mr Obama -- His favorite topic, after all -- I'd care to point to two currently terribly-UNDER-reported stories:

• 1. GOP probe uncovers the deal between Obama and The Heinous Drug Companies. Full memo is here.
• 2. Mr Obama VANDALIZES and REWRITES history on the White House website.

What? Mr Obama dealing with the drug companies he portrays as Evil, Greed-Driven SOTE* Entities? And Mr Obama stooping to the duplicitious and dishonest reinvention of history?

Mr Obama: you are going DOWN in November.

Plain and simple.

And rightly so.

*SOTE: Scum Of The Earth

Romney leads Obama with women voters:

How can that be??

How can The One not be The One for All?? According to the DEM/MSM, all women absolutely swoon to the soothing sound of Mr Obama's voice, his calming touch, his sensitivity, his dress, his non-ghetto dialect.

From the WashingtonExaminer.com:

President Obama’s claim that the GOP is mounting a war on women has proven to be a failure. A month into his assault on the Republicans and Mitt Romney, the new CBS-New York Times poll shows that the GOP presidential candidate now leads among women--and men.

Since April, women have gone from strongly backing Obama to endorsing Romney. In April, Obama held a 49 percent to 43 percent lead among women. That has now flipped to 46 percent backing Romney with 44 percent for Obama, an 8-point switch.

Ironically, Romney’s support among men has dropped, but he still edges Obama 45 percent to 42 percent.

And here’s a surprise: Despite the media hyping the so-called war on women, no major outlet today noticed Romney’s new lead with women voters.

“This is unbelievable,” said conservative consultant Greg Mueller. “The CBS story manages to not mention the change in women numbers,” he said, adding sarcastically. “No media bias here -- Obama is getting fluffy stories about his commencement speech to women at Barnard -- so we better bury the reality.”

Wait, can this be? The American Media (what I term the DEM/MSM) "in the tank" for Mr Barack Hussein Obaka? Perish the thought!

Clearly, this is nothing more than a clever ploy by the basty GOP nastards to discredit The One with a major base of his support.

Eh. . .

Or is it?

You know what? I'm starting to think this guy is actually beatable. And is beginning to screw up by the numbers.

P.S.
On this note:
The White House skipped a female reporter on Tuesday the 15th and was called on it. Yeah. That women-supporting White House. The one that loves and respects women. Imagine that.


One of TWO people are going to run the United States come November: OBAMA or ROMNEY.

YOU CHOOSE.
