Class War

Interesting e-mail that I received today. It reflects the feelings of a lot of people.  Class war at its best.  I have never heard this said as simply or as well.

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't really like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff..

And, the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So...the people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff.

We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

ELECTION 2012 IS COMING1  A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!   I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON !!! Let’s Take a Stand!!!

1. Obama: Gone!
2. Borders: Closed!
3. Language: English only
4. Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
5. Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
6. NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!

We, the people, are coming.  It is estimated that only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.  What will you do?

TSA and the Powers that Be...

Well it is all over the news that Osama Bin Ladin has been killed by American forces in Pakistan and there have been a wide range of emotions and postings related to the news of this terrorist's demise.

Because of the atrocities that he orchestrated on our soil back on that tragic September 11th morning in 2001 our lives have been changed, forever.  Out of fear of further attacks, Americans have willingly given up our freedoms one-by-one in the effort to "FEEL" safe.

What is troubling about all of this is now we have further and further infringements on our freedoms and it is beginning to cross some cultural lines that are raising some eyebrows.  Here is a link of a six-year-old girl who was "patted" down and drug-tested before being allowed to fly on one of our national airplanes.  We are a far cry from the days when me and my teen-age friends would play a friendly game of "trench-coat" at the airport or boldly storm a departing plane to sing a song for a traveling singer!

I have heard that some are talking about bringing litigation against the powers-that-be for pedophile crimes as these TSA agents can view "pornographic" images of children and also for fondling these same children in routine pat-downs.  We would NEVER allow teachers, priests, baby-sitters or any stranger out there the rights that we have given these TSA agents yet people continue along thinking these things are making us safe.

Israel, the country with the biggest target on their back doesn't do these silly and freedom stealing things.  They address the issue and TARGET the terrorist.  They PROFILE them!  If you have mean friends and you travel to slimy places in the world and you fellowship with known creeps then you will be targeted.  Seems like a plan to me!  Let's make this about the people DOING the crimes, not making us, the U.S. citizen the criminals.  Ridiculous!

the Elana Kagan, Obama Connection

Seems there is some controversy surrounding this newly appointed justice to the United States Supreme Court, Elena Kagan.  It seems to becoming quite clear why she was Obama's choice for the recently vacated seat and the reasons for their connection are in the least, very interesting.  You see, Ms. Kagan was the Solicitor General for all the suits that were filed against Obama with the Supreme Court regarding Obama's proof of natural born citizenship.  Some are saying that this was a "payment" for all of her hard work in helping him with all his legal issues.  See, all the requests that came across Kagan's desk were denied and never heard by the court.  The American people were totally kept from the truth regarding all of this as even Congress didn't bring up these facts during the confirmation hearings on Kagan. 

David and Barbara Mikkelson are the couple behind Snopes and they have posted on their site that, "No, Virginia, There is No Obama/Kagan Connection."  They are still saying that they are "correct" in posting that this "rumor" is "false" but they have never explained all the United States Supreme Court dockets (listed below) that are all signed off by ELana Kagan.

World Net Daily (WND) has posted that Kagan's name is on at least nine dockets involving Obama and his eligibility to be President and Snopes has a link on this as well, yet  Snopes still concludes there there is NO connection.  Not sure I am following the math on this one.  Snopes lists the dockets too and even highlights Kagan's name on them, yet they say there is NO connection?  I don't understand their reasoning as all of this seems pretty obvious to me.

I have included all the links in this blog for you to check it out for yourself.  After reading all this, I would hope you have ONE more reason to vote this November.  Not only am I upset about the conflict of interests and total disregard for the process that has permeated this administration, but I am also upset at those in Congressmen and women who did NOT expose this and stop this nomination.

Remember that all of this "controversy" is swirling because there are still so many questions that have not been answered regarding the birthplace of Barack Obama, Jr.  There is still no birth certificate stating that Obama was born in Hawaii among the passport documents for Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro that were recently released by the State Department on July 29, 2010 regarding Obama's Citizenship. In these recently released documents, Dunham's husband, Lolo Soetoro petitioned the Immigration and Naturalization Services of the State Department in 1967 to obtain a waiver to return to the United States to rejoin his wife and her infant son, Barack.

An Indonesia timeline was recently compiled by World News Daily (WND) created from information gathered from the State Department's July 29 Freedom of Information Act.  This information shows that Lolo Soetoro returned to Indonesia on July 20, 1966, after completing his studies at the University of Hawaii.  Soetoro was required to complete a mandatory two-rear residence requirement in Indonesia before he could be granted a visa to return to the US.

There is a document dated September 14, 1967, as an apparent attempt to establish the nationality of Barack Obama Jr. by a person named Mix who submitted a poorly typed and difficult to decipher memo to the file but failed to identify their official position with the State Department at the time.  This memo was written pursuant "to inquire from Central office regarding the status of the aplicants' spouses' child by a former marriage." (sic)  The next paragraph reads:

"The person in question [Barack Obama, Jr.] is a united states citizen by virtue of his birth in Honolulu, Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961. He is living with the applicants' spouse in Honolulu. He is considered the applicants step-child, within the meaning of Sec. 101(b)(1)(B), of the act, by virtue of the marriage of the applicant to the childs' mother on March 15, 1965."

The person writing the document does not indicate that they ever SAW any birth-certificate document to establish the citizenship of her son, Barack Obama, Jr., but instead, it suggests that is was written as a result of conversation, possibly with the mother, and was accepted as is without documentary verification.

In contrast, various forms in the Freedom of Information Act release clearly indicate when corroborating documents have been presented. For instance, an examining Immigration and Naturalization Service and State Department official filing a particular report had examined the divorce decree between Barack Obama's mother and his father, Barack Obama Sr., to establish that the parents were legally divorced.
In the two separate releases of Freedom of Information Act documents July 29, what should have been a clear opportunity to see a birth certificate for Barack Obama Jr. was lost when the State Department destroyed any and all passport documents that may have existed for Dunham prior to 1968.  The released State Department documents make clear that Barack Obama Jr. was listed on his mother's passport. However, as WND has previously reported, the State Department claims Dunham's application for her 1965 U.S. Passport No. 777788, issued July 19, 1965, was destroyed at some unspecified time in the 1980s, apparently pursuant to a General Services Administration directive.

Lacking Dunham's application for her 1965 U.S. passport, it is impossible to determine what documentation, if any, she submitted to the State Department to establish her son was a U.S. citizen. WND has reported that in a passport amendment submitted Aug. 13, 1968, Obama's mother identified her son with an Indonesian surname and asked the State Department to drop him from her U.S. passport, bolstering evidence Barack Obama Jr., became a citizen of Indonesia when he moved to the Southeast Asian nation with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s.
Since 1961, the Obama family has always maintained that Barack Obama Jr., was born in Hawaii. However, as WND has reported, the family has changed its story about his hospital of birth, first claiming it was Honolulu's Queens Medical Center then changing it to Kapi'olani Medical Center.  What has yet to be produced is a long-form certificate of birth that lists the hospital where Obama was born and the doctor that attended the birth.

In, June, Tim Adams, a senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2009 made the claim that Barack Obama Jr., was definitely not born in Hawaii and that a long-form, hospital generated birth certificate for Obama does not exist in that state.

The birth address reported in the Honolulu newspapers in 1961 announcing the birth of Barack Obama Jr. was the address where his grandparents lived, suggesting the grandparents may simply have applied at the Hawaii Department of Health for a short-form Certificate of Live Birth. WND has also reported that newspaper birth announcements in Hawaiian newspapers in 1961 did not necessarily indicate a baby was born in the state. Hawaiian law in 1961 allowed "an adult or legal parent of a minor child" to apply to the health department and, upon unspecified proof, be given a birth document in the form that is known as a short-form Certification of Live Birth.  Under Hawaiian law at that time, a family wishing to register the birth of a baby outside Hawaii was permitted by the Hawaii Department of Health to list a family residence in Hawaii as the birth address, even if the mother was residing outside Hawaii at the time the baby was born.  Moreover, WND has reported that being a U.S. citizen does not by itself fulfill the requirement under Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution that the president be a "natural born citizen."

Press One For English

With all the turmoil in this country about immigration and all the discussion regarding the same, this is an up-beat song to get it all back into perspective.  Press One For English is a good reminder to those coming in to become a part of THIS country.  My mother did.  She left her homeland, her language and her citizenship behind and became an American.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes and American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.  But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

If we would just live up to what Theodore Roosevelt stated, we would not have the mess that we have today.  "Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all."

Seems pretty clear to me.  Wake up America!!!  This is MY country and these are the rules!  This is not just my opinion but also the opinion of President Theodore Roosevelt.

I Love Arizona

I love this t-shirt! With all the hullaballloo about Arizona and their immigration law, it was just a matter of time before someone came up with a great idea.

Here is a great way to show your support for America, Arizona and the laws of this land.  I just received this information from a friend and am passing it on to you.  To order your shirt, follow the link to Vision to America.

Phoenix Suns

I received this via email a couple days ago and did research to authenticate the claims that this REALLY was posted to Governor Jan Brewer's facebook page but couldn't find evidence that is was or wasn't.  I did find the statement being attributed to the Governor, but couldn't validate if it really was her quote or not.

Regardless of the validation of the author, the quote stands on it's own as a valid point in the ongoing "controversy" over the Arizona law on immigration.  I really don't get, as I have posted earlier, all the "hype" as the Arizona law does NOT overstep the current Federal law that is in place and on the books regarding illegal aliens.  The controversy, I guess, is because the Arizona law will take ACTION on the matter in which the Federal government has NOT implemented their law.  Seems ridiculous to have laws and then NOT enforce them.  Any parent knows how silly and overrun your authority will be if you don't implement consequences.

Here is the "supposed" quote to the Phoenix Suns basketball team players who were protesting the new Arizona law:

Much has been said against Arizona's move to do the Federal Government's job. The following was sent by a friend and pokes fun at the Suns. To see where it came from first, see the last line.

"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected.

Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"

Arizona's New Immigration Law

Here is a GREAT link that I hope each of you will take a minute to participate in.  MSNBC has a poll currently on the web asking if people support the Arizona Immigration Law.

When you submit your answer, you will get the current stats on how people have voted.  When I took the poll already over 3 million people had taken the survey.  PLEASE, take a minute and go to this link and VOTE today!

MY Country

So I recently received this email and I HAD to share it.  Before any of you label me as a racist and not pro-immigration let me state that I am totally in agreement for people coming to this country and entering our system, LEGALLY.  My own mother was an immigrant and went through the naturalization process and became a US citizen shortly after entering this country in 1947.  She had to learn the language, study for the citizenship test and then take the test.  (Which by-the-way I think all high school senior should have to pass before graduation from school, but that's a topics for anther day.)  So, NOW to the email:

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Civil War. My grandfather & father watched as their friends died in WW II and Korea . And we all watched as our friends died in Vietnam . None of them died for the Mexican Flag. Everyone died for the U.S. flag.

Just last month (May), here in Texas, permission was given to hang a Mexican flag prominently in the school hallway during the Cinco de Mayo celebrations.  Here is the photo of the huge flag that was raised without an American flag above it.  Another student (Nick Morris) was offended by the flag hanging at Klein Collins High School.  His mother called the school to complain and the school wouldn't return her call so Nick took it down.  Three men from the school including the Assistant Principal, Mr. Shelly Dick came to Nick's classroom, escorted him out of class, questioned him about the whereabouts of the flag (which Nick had thrown in the trash) and then proceeded to suspend him for 3 days.  This suspension then added a week to his school schedule for him to complete his final exams.

This school did not fly the Texas Flag on Texas Independence day yet they flew the Mexican Flag on Cinco De Mayo HIGHER than the American flag.  If this outrages you, please feel free to call the school at (832) 484-5500.  The superintendent's' name is Mr. Jim Cain.

This is light of the Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill California were sent home for wearing the American Flag on their T-shirts to school because it offended the Hispanic students there, again during the Cinco de Mayo festivities.

Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America .  We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand. I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can't stand up. If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.  And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

SECOND EMAIL:

A Map of MY Country

Let me make this perfectly clear!  THIS is MY country!  And because I make this statement that DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!  You are welcome here, in MY country!  Welcome to come through...LEGALLY!

1. Get a sponsor!

2. Get a place to lay your head!

3. Get a job!

4. Live by OUR rules!

5. Pay YOUR taxes! and

6. Learn the language like immigrants have in the past!

7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime saving of Social Security Funds to you.

If you don't want to forward this (or post it to your blog!) then YOU are part of the problem!  When will Americans stop giving away their rights?  We have gone so far the other way, bent over backwards not to offend anyone, but it seems no one cares about the American Citizen that's being offended!

WAKE UP America!

Arizona Law on Immigration

Well Governor Brewer of Arizona has been taking the heat on her newly passed law (SB 1070) to crack down on the illegal immigration that has become deadly for many in her state.  She responds to the critics.

The Mexican President's Speech and President Obama's comment haven't been properly informed about this bill.  The Federal Government has had this as law for DECADES and if it were illegal and racial profiling than the United States has been in violation of the law for years.  People need to read the bill.  We are a nation of laws and 70% of the American public agrees with this move why there is so much controversy.  The federal government is NOT doing their job so Arizona had to fix their problem.

The LA city councel called for a boycott of Arizona. Well, a commissioner, Gary Pierce, on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commision had a response to this threat.  In a letter Pierce wrote to the Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa yesterday, Pierce reminded the Mayor that up to a quater of LA's electricity comes from Arizona Power Plants.  Pierce stated that if an economic boycott is truly what LA desires, he would be "happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."

The LA Mayor is dismissing the warning from Arizona.  Seems LA is pretty confident that they are ok to call a boycott and have not fallout to their own actions.
