Obama Blows Off Arlington National Cemetary on Memorial Day. . . .
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
Cassy Fiano comments on the *cough* Command in Chief's *cough* plans to spend Memorial Day vacationing among his old radical left pals in Chicago instead of laying a wreath in Arlington:
Memorial Day should be a pretty big priority for the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. The wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery is not just some arbitrary meaningless tradition. It actually means something, and Obama is just blowing it off so that he can go hang out in Chicago. I understand the desire to go home for a little while, but when you're the president, Memorial Day ceases to be just another holiday where you get to take an extra day off for a weekend and have a barbecue. For him, he still has to work. It's part of his responsibility as president. Blowing off paying his respects to the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery — our country's most sacred shrine — on Memorial Day is inexcusable. It's despicable and he does not deserve the title of Commander-in-Chief if he has this little respect for the heroes who have given their lives for their country.
If he doesn't like it, he can always resign.
I'm curious how much golf he'll play while he's in Chicago.
The arrogance continues to appall. But at least we have the satisfaction of knowing it will lead to his downfall.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - Arlington National Cemetary:
"Here rests in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God."

One genius blogger wrote:
Why would Obama want to honor those who have defended us from communists, Marxists, socialists, and muslims? That’s who O’s best friends are.
---------------------------------------
Maybe it would be a bigger slap in the face of those who have fallen for the freedom of America if President Obama attended and laid the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. . . He seems to be AGAINST everything that America and our Military stands for. He has been doing everything but the job he was hired to do since his first day in office. He campaigns, golfs, parties, travels. . . .No wonder he’s not going to Arlington. No voters there.
These Unknown Soldiers deserve to be honored by someone who would show them respect, and not someone who:
1. Wouldn’t wear the American flag lapel pin.
2. Didn’t place his right hand over his heart during the Pledge.
3. Bows and Apologizes to the world for America’s short-comings.
4. Allows Socialists, Communists, and Marxists to advise him.
Let Obama go home to Chicago. . . .There have been over 160 homicides so far this year. . . .Maybe he will be more compassionate after spending a few days in the middle of a war zone.
A Terrorist in Texas?
According to scaredmonkeys.com:
Talk about your double talk from the Obama Administration and a misguided effort at keeping America safe …
Guess what President Barack Hussein Obama, Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder … the individuals sneaking across the Mexican-US border are not just illegal Mexicans … THEY ARE TERRORISTS! But then again, there is no “war on terror” and these terrorists sneaking in to America are not motivated by radial Islam.
In one breathe Obama and his minions state that the new Arizona immigration law is misguided. Now the Feds are issuing a terror warning for the Texas-Mexico boarder.
The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be attempting to travel to the U.S. through Mexico, a security expert who has seen the memo tells FOXNews.com.
The warning follows an indictment unsealed this month in Texas federal court that accuses a Somali man in Texas of running a “large-scale smuggling enterprise” responsible for bringing hundreds of Somalis from Brazil through South America and eventually across the Mexican border. Many of the illegal immigrants, who court records say were given fake IDs, are alleged to have ties to other now-defunct Somalian terror organizations that have merged with active organizations like Al Shabaab, al-Barakat and Al-Ittihad Al-Islami.
So at the same time that Janet Napoliano & the Home Land Security Agency are criticizing the new immigration law put in place in Arizona that could potentially catch terrorists as well as illegals, they now issue a terror warning stating that Somalian terrorists could be sneaking across the Mexican-US border. WHAT!!!
US immigration and national security are one issue. How the Obama Administration can be so derelict in their duties is beyond words.
You can’t have it both ways folks. Nice to see that Napolitano and DHS read the terror warning first.
DO YOUR JOB OBAMA AND PROTECT AMERICA!
--------------------------------------------
This is just more evidence that all the illegals that come across our borders don't want to do the jobs Americans won't do. . . .Some want to kill. steal, and destroy our great nation. Washington still don't get it. . . .SECURE OUR BORDERS NOW ! ! ! !
New Black Panthers Prepare for War With Tea Partiers. . . .
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
New Black Panther Party, Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, persists despite controversy.
The New Black Panther Party has been embroiled in a battle between Republican Congressmen and the U.S. Department Of Justice battle over a ”voter intimidation” scandal for the last 18 months. During these 18 months right wing and Republican Newspaper and Electronic media have gone to exhaustive lengths to discredit and slander the New Black Panther Party and its Chairman and Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz.
Despite the controversy the New Black Panther Party continues to grow and expand. The National Black Power Conventions impressive lineup of guests and organizations is a testimony that the New Black Panthers Leadership has support in wide circles in the Black Community, particularly amongst grassroots organizers and entertainers.
-----------------------------------------------
Looks like the Tea Parties might get a little more interesting in the near future. . . .I think these thugs will be in for a real surprise if they come to a Texas Tea Party and start trouble. I'd love to see their faces when hundreds of concealed weapons get whipped out and aimed at them. They better get the message before they head south that you "Don't Mess With Texas"

Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as 'Legitimate Tenet of Islam'. . . .
Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as 'Legitimate Tenet of Islam'. . . .
(Fox News) The president's top counterterrorism adviser the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies ...
The president's top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies.
During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of "political, economic and social forces," but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in "religious terms."
He repeated the administration argument that the enemy is not "terrorism," because terrorism is a "tactic," and not terror, because terror is a "state of mind" -- though Brennan's title, deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security, includes the word "terrorism" in it. But then Brennan said that the word "jihad" should not be applied either.
"Nor do we describe our enemy as 'jihadists' or 'Islamists' because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one's community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children," Brennan said.
--------------------------------------------
John Brennan made these ridiculous statements on the same day that this was released on CNN: "The number and pace of attempted attacks against the United States over the past nine months have surpassed the number of attempts during any other previous one-year period"
He also stated: "Nor do we describe our enemy as 'jihadists' or 'Islamists' because jihad is a holy struggle". . . . OMG. . . .It's a holy struggle against us you stupid fu*k. . . .We are the infidels they want to destroy.
Do you think this administration would have the courage to allow a General in our Military today like General Patton back in WWII? He knew who his enemy was and his goal was to defeat them not make them feel good. The difference in WWII and today. . . .They fought the war to WIN ! ! ! !
General Patton Quotes:
There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
"We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit."

US troops won't be used to stop illegal immigration: US. . . .WTF?
According to breitbart.com:
US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.
The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorized the deployment of up to 1,200 additional troops to border areas but State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, "It's not about immigration."
He said the move was "fully consistent with our efforts to do our part to stem, you know, violence, to interdict the flow of dangerous people and dangerous goods -- drugs, guns, people."
He said the extra troops would be used to free up civilians engaged in support functions so that law enforcement personnel can be increased along the 2,000-mile-long (3,200 kilometer) border.
Nearly 13 million Mexicans live in the United States, more than half of them illegally.
"We have explained the president's announcement to the government of Mexico, and they fully understand the rationale behind it," Crowley said.
Obama's announcement came less than a week after a state visit to Washington by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who asked for greater US backing for a bloody three-year-old war on drug cartels.
Drug violence has claimed the lives of nearly 23,000 people over the past three years.
------------------------------------------
Here's what some bloggers wrote:
Mexico spoke and Obama listened. People of the United States speak and he ignores.
Un-F-ing-believable. What the hell are they even bothering to send them for? Are they going to be handing out maps and water? It's time for a civil war.
Between illegals, ObamaCare, taxes, and freeloaders, this admin is about to find the snapping point of the American people. And once that happens, it ain't going to be pretty....
So.... if i understand this correctly, the National Guard is going to screen the folks coming across the border, and let the non dangerous illegals continue into the US and just filter out the dangerous guys to be sent back.
Each soldier shall be allocated voter registrations forms, Obama bumper stickers and census forms to be distributed to each individual entering illegally - oops I mean undocumentedly
Let's just send the Wal*Mart Greeters instead! Probably just as effective.
------------------------------------------
WTF? I guess you can see from the bloggers comments above that I'm not the only PISSED American. . . .When will this insanity end. . . .

Governor Chris Christie Versus Obnoxious Teacher. . . .
An update from last night's post about Chris Christie at a townhall in Rutherford, NJ.
According to Claire Heininger nj.com:
. . . .at the microphone by Rita Wilson, an English teacher who lives in Kearny. Wilson told the governor she was one of the educators he criticized as having a "me, first" attitude, but she’s making a smaller salary than she would as a baby-sitter.
"I’m not a rabble-rouser. I’m a simple English teacher," whose students perform well, Wilson said. "I work really hard."
Wilson said she used the babysitter example to make a point, as Christie has pressured teachers to take a one-year wage freeze and contribute at least 1.5 percent of their salary toward health benefits to help the state through its fiscal crisis. She and Christie then testily talked over each other for several questions and answers.
"You know what, you don’t have to do it," Christie said.
"Teachers do it because they love it," Wilson told him.
"Teachers go into it knowing what the pay scale is," Christie said.
-----------------------------------------
What a breathe of fresh air. . . .Finally a politician with some cojones. . . . Governor Christie is only requesting a pay freeze and teachers to pay a portion of their benefits. . . .This Rita bit*ch needs to STFU and worry about keeping her job or she'll be in the unemployment line with the other 9.7% of Americans.
People like this make me SICK especially in these tough economic times. . . .After I was laid off in 2008 I had to take a job earning $5.00 an hour less in pay and no benefits. So my sympathy meter for Rita is ZERO. . . .

President Obama. . . .YOU SCARE ME
(Received in an email. . . .enjoy)
Written by Lou Pritchett in June 2009. . . .
Dear President Obama,
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Sincerely,
Lou Pritchett

Hey Lou - it has gotten so much worse since 2009. . . . By the election in 2012 we'll be so scared that we'll be crapping our pants.

Obama Income Shift: Personal Income Shrinks While Government-Provided Benefits Skyrocket. . . .
Obama Income Shift: Personal Income Shrinks While Government-Provided Benefits Skyrocket
According to Dennis Cauchon at usatoday.com:
Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.
At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010.
Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs. . . . .
------------------------------------------
According to thebsreport.wordpress.com:
President Obama is doing pretty much what he said he would. He believes in government redistribution of wealth and as President he has usurped as much private wealth as possible. He believes in “spreading the wealth around”…your wealth. Just in case you’ve forgotten:
------------------------------------------
Even with these horrific numbers just released it has not stopped this Congress from still trying to pass the Financial Reform Bill (The most sweeping overhaul of the nation’s financial regulatory system since the Great Depression), The American Power Act (The biggest and costliest scam in the history of the world), Immigration Reform and God only knows what else they have up their socialist sleeves. All of this in addition to Obamacare which will take over 1/6 th of our economy, TARP and all the Stimulus bills.
Without the private sector taxes flowing to the government our government is not sustainable. The US Government makes NOTHING (except prints money) so it is just a matter of time before we collapse and have rioting in the streets just like in Greece.

Going Green. . . .
Going "Green"
According to John Stossel at townhall.com:
I ride my bike to work. It seems so pure.
We're constantly urged to "go green" -- use less energy, shrink our carbon footprint, save the Earth. How? We should drive less, use ethanol, recycle plastic and buy things with the government's Energy Star label.
But what if much of going green is just bunk? Al Gore's group, Repower America, claims we can replace all our dirty energy with clean, carbon-free renewables. Gore says we can do it within 10 years.
"It's simply not possible," says Robert Bryce, author of "Power Hungry: The Myths of 'Green' Energy." "Nine out of 10 units of power that we consume are produced by hydrocarbons -- coal, oil and natural gas. Any transition away from those sources is going to be a decades-long, maybe even a century-long process. ... The world consumes 200 million barrels of oil equivalent in hydrocarbons per day. We would have to find the energy equivalent of 23 Saudi Arabias."
Bryce used to be a left-liberal, but then: "I educated myself about math and physics. I'm a liberal who was mugged by the laws of thermodynamics."
Bryce mocked the "green" value of my riding my bike to work:
"Let's assume you saved a gallon of oil in your commute (a generous assumption!). Global daily energy consumption is 9.5 billion gallons of oil equivalent. ... So by biking to work, you save the equivalent of one drop in 10 gasoline tanker trucks. Put another way, it's one pinch of salt in a 100-pound bag of potato chips."
How about wind power?
"Wind does not replace oil. This is one of the great fallacies, and it's one that the wind energy business continues to promote," Bryce said.
The problem is that windmills cannot provide a constant source of electricity. Wind turbines only achieve 10 percent to 20 percent of their maximum capacity because sometimes the wind doesn't blow.
"That means you have to keep conventional power plants up and running. You have to ramp them up to replace the power that disappears from wind turbines and ramp them down when power reappears."
Yet the media rave about Denmark, which gets some power from wind. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman says, "If only we could be as energy smart as Denmark."
"Friedman doesn't fundamentally understand what he's talking about," Bryce said.
Bryce's book shows that Denmark uses eight times more coal and 25 times more oil than wind.
If wind and solar power were practical, entrepreneurs would invest in it. There would be no need for government to take money from taxpayers and give it to people pushing green products.
Even with subsidies, "renewable" energy today barely makes a dent on our energy needs.
Bryce points out that energy production from every solar panel and windmill in America is less than the production from one coal mine and much less than natural gas production from Oklahoma alone.
But what if we build more windmills?
"One nuclear power plant in Texas covers about 19 square miles, an area slightly smaller than Manhattan. To produce the same amount of power from wind turbines would require an area the size of Rhode Island. This is energy sprawl." To produce the same amount of energy with ethanol, another "green" fuel, it would take 24 Rhode Islands to grow enough corn.
Maybe the electric car is the next big thing?
"Electric cars are the next big thing, and they always will be."
There have been impressive headlines about electric cars from my brilliant colleagues in the media. The Washington Post said, "Prices on electric cars will continue to drop until they're within reach of the average family."
That was in 1915.
In 1959, The New York Times said, "Electric is the car of the tomorrow."

According to John Stossel at townhall.com:
I ride my bike to work. It seems so pure.
We're constantly urged to "go green" -- use less energy, shrink our carbon footprint, save the Earth. How? We should drive less, use ethanol, recycle plastic and buy things with the government's Energy Star label.
But what if much of going green is just bunk? Al Gore's group, Repower America, claims we can replace all our dirty energy with clean, carbon-free renewables. Gore says we can do it within 10 years.
"It's simply not possible," says Robert Bryce, author of "Power Hungry: The Myths of 'Green' Energy." "Nine out of 10 units of power that we consume are produced by hydrocarbons -- coal, oil and natural gas. Any transition away from those sources is going to be a decades-long, maybe even a century-long process. ... The world consumes 200 million barrels of oil equivalent in hydrocarbons per day. We would have to find the energy equivalent of 23 Saudi Arabias."
Bryce used to be a left-liberal, but then: "I educated myself about math and physics. I'm a liberal who was mugged by the laws of thermodynamics."
Bryce mocked the "green" value of my riding my bike to work:
"Let's assume you saved a gallon of oil in your commute (a generous assumption!). Global daily energy consumption is 9.5 billion gallons of oil equivalent. ... So by biking to work, you save the equivalent of one drop in 10 gasoline tanker trucks. Put another way, it's one pinch of salt in a 100-pound bag of potato chips."
How about wind power?
"Wind does not replace oil. This is one of the great fallacies, and it's one that the wind energy business continues to promote," Bryce said.
The problem is that windmills cannot provide a constant source of electricity. Wind turbines only achieve 10 percent to 20 percent of their maximum capacity because sometimes the wind doesn't blow.
"That means you have to keep conventional power plants up and running. You have to ramp them up to replace the power that disappears from wind turbines and ramp them down when power reappears."
Yet the media rave about Denmark, which gets some power from wind. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman says, "If only we could be as energy smart as Denmark."
"Friedman doesn't fundamentally understand what he's talking about," Bryce said.
Bryce's book shows that Denmark uses eight times more coal and 25 times more oil than wind.
If wind and solar power were practical, entrepreneurs would invest in it. There would be no need for government to take money from taxpayers and give it to people pushing green products.
Even with subsidies, "renewable" energy today barely makes a dent on our energy needs.
Bryce points out that energy production from every solar panel and windmill in America is less than the production from one coal mine and much less than natural gas production from Oklahoma alone.
But what if we build more windmills?
"One nuclear power plant in Texas covers about 19 square miles, an area slightly smaller than Manhattan. To produce the same amount of power from wind turbines would require an area the size of Rhode Island. This is energy sprawl." To produce the same amount of energy with ethanol, another "green" fuel, it would take 24 Rhode Islands to grow enough corn.
Maybe the electric car is the next big thing?
"Electric cars are the next big thing, and they always will be."
There have been impressive headlines about electric cars from my brilliant colleagues in the media. The Washington Post said, "Prices on electric cars will continue to drop until they're within reach of the average family."
That was in 1915.
In 1959, The New York Times said, "Electric is the car of the tomorrow."
In 1979, The Washington Post said, "GM has an electric car breakthrough in batteries, now makes them commercially practical."
I'm still waiting.
"The problem is very simple," Bryce said. "It's not political will. It's simple physics. Gasoline has 80 times the energy density of the best lithium ion batteries. There's no conspiracy here of big oil or big auto. It's a conspiracy of physics."

Two-Year Old Toddler Smokes Cigarettes. . . .WTF?

Two-Year Old Toddler Smokes Cigarettes
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
This is just sick. Don't they have child welfare authorities to intervene?
And you thought you had a bad smoking habit.
Ardi Rizal isn't even out of diapers, but he already smokes around 40 cigarettes every day, according to Metro.co.uk.
The 2-year-old Sumatran boy was given his first cigarette at 18 months by his 30-year-old father, Mohammed. Now, he throws tantrums if he's denied his two-pack-a-day habit, according to his family.
"He's totally addicted," said Ardi's 26-year-old mother, Diana. "If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick."
The overweight tot uses a toy truck to get around instead of being active with other children, according to the report.
The boy's disturbing habit hasn't escaped public notice in Sumatra. Concerned officials offered to buy the family a car if Ardi quits.
His father doesn't seem the least bit concerned.
"He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem," he said.

Is the BP Disaster Obama's Katrina?
Is the BP Disaster Obama's Katrina?
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
Karl Rove weighs in on Obama's Katrina.
Could this be Mr. Obama's Katrina? It could be even worse. The federal response to Katrina was governed by the 1988 Stafford Act, which says that in natural disasters on-shore states are in charge, not Washington. The federal obligation is to "support . . . State and local assistance efforts" by providing whatever resources a governor requests and then writing big checks for the cleanup. Mr. Bush had to deal with a Louisiana governor and a New Orleans mayor who were, by federal law, in charge.
But BP's well was drilled in federal waters. Washington, not Louisiana, is in charge. This is Mr. Obama's responsibility. He says his administration has been prepared for the worst from the start. Mr. Obama's failure to lead in cleaning up the spill could lead voters to echo his complaint in Katrina's aftermath: "I wish that the federal government had been up to the task."
----------------------------------------------
Ouch. . . .Obama's incompetence is coming home to roost. . . .Maybe he just hates black people too. . . .hahahahaha

Census Used to Fudge Employment Numbers. . . .
Census Used to Fudge Employment Numbers
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
One nice thing about having the mainstream media on your side is you can pull stunts like this and most people will never know about it:
Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks.
The worker, Naomi Cohn, told The Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department.
Here's how the game works:
Each month Census gives Labor a figure on the number of workers it has hired. That figure goes into the closely followed monthly employment report Labor provides. For the past two months the hiring by Census has made up a good portion of the new jobs.
Labor doesn't check the Census hiring figure or whether the jobs are actually new or recycled. It considers a new job to have been created if someone is hired to work at least one hour a month.
One hour! A month! So, if a worker is terminated after only one hour and another is hired in her place, then a second new job can apparently be reported to Labor.
It turns out Census workers are routinely fired on absurd pretexts, then quickly rehired. They spend more time being paid to train than they do pestering citizens who didn't return their Census forms.
With government work, producing actual results doesn't matter. You just need to come up with the right stats to feed the media.
We may never know the true unemployment numbers under the regime of Hopey Change, just as we probably won't be getting any accurate information out of the bumbling leftist hacks running the Census. All we know for sure is that any information originating at the Ministry of Truth has been bent to Comrade Obama's advantage, even before his acolytes in Big Media get ahold of it.
----------------------------------------------
If the Census is fudging their employment statistics what the hell are they doing with the actual 2010 Census. Will anyone be able to trust their numbers? Have they ever had to do a recount of the census in American history? This might need to be considered. . . .

Pro-Illegal-Alien Lawmaker Hit by Drunk Illegal Alien. . . . .
Headline on michaelsavage.com:
Pro-illegal-alien lawmaker hit by drunk illegal alien
Crash test for dummies
According to Michael Graham at bostonherald.com:
Hey, Rep. Moran, how do you say “karma” in Spanish?
Michael Moran of Brighton is a staunch supporter of the “sanctuary” approach to illegal immigration we have here in Massachusetts. He voted against the Perry amendment that would require applicants for state benefits to prove they’re here legally. Moran voted for subsidized college tuition for illegals, too.
It’s safe to say that no Massachusetts politician has done more to make illegal immigrants feel welcome. Illegal immigrants like 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo, who (ahem) “met” Moran on the streets of Brighton last week.
According to Fox 25, Naranjo was driving 60 mph when he slammed his car into Moran’s. Naranjo was also drunk, driving without a license and - in an only-in-Massachusetts twist - was wearing a “Mexican costume” at the time.
Now if Naranjo were just another Massachusetts taxpayer, he would be in some serious guacamole. But Fox reports that when police tried to explain the seriousness of his situation, he just laughed.
“Nothing is going to happen to me, man,” Naranjo told the cops. That’s because he was “going back to my home country, Mexico.”
Naranjo had gotten the Massachusetts message: It’s never illegal to be illegal here. In fact sometimes it’s pretty damn good. . . .
--------------------------------------------
Getting hit by a drunk illegal alien is not enough for this liberal loon to make the real immigration changes that need to be made in Massachusetts . . . .He will probably say that Naranjo was drinking so heavily because he was upset about his "illegal" status or some other bleeding heart liberal BS.

Once Again, Scratch a Progressive, Find a Fascist
According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
New York (Waste of) Times columnist Thomas Friedman was back at it again on "Press the Meat," openly fantasizing about an America that would work so much better as a one-party Communist dictatorship like the People's Republic of China, whose murderous autocrats Friedman considers "reasonably enlightened."
I have fantasized--don't get me wrong--but that what if we could just be China for a day? I mean, just, just, just one day. You know, I mean, where we could actually, you know, authorize the right solutions, and I do think there is a sense of that, on, on everything from the economy to environment. I don't want to be China for a second, OK, I want my democracy to work with the same authority, focus and stick-to-itiveness. But right now we have a system that can only produce suboptimal solutions.
This is yet another case where over-the-top denials backfire. Friedman sounds like some schlub insisting to his wife, "No, no, no... even though I may fantasize about it, the last thing on Earth I would ever want is a naked coconut oil rubdown from Eva Longoria." Because What Friedman really "fantasizes" about is progressive fascism; a regime in which Obama, Pelosi, and Reid crush all opposition and implement the agenda of the New York (Waste of) Times editorial page.

Coming Soon to America? Chavez Confiscates Food. . . .
Chavez Confiscates Food
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
If you can't wait to see what happens next under Hope & Change, just look to Venezuela, where Obama prototype Hugo Chavez is resolving food shortages by confiscating food:
Venezuela's National Guard seized roughly 120 tons of merchandise Thursday from the country's largest food company, the guard's commander said.
The "preventive confiscation" came after authorities say they detected inconsistencies in reports from the Empresas Polar conglomerate about the content of several warehouses in the western city of Barquisimeto, Gen. Luis Bohorquez Soto told state television.
He said the guard seized more than 91 tons of wheat flower, 12 tons of butter, five tons of rice and more than 5,000 liters (1,320 gallons) of cooking oil, among other products.
The operation was part of President Hugo Chavez's efforts "to protect the Venezuelan family" and avoid the phenomenon of empty shelves at grocery stores, the general said.
Venezuela suffers from periodic shortages of staples such as milk, wheat flour, beans and coffee. While the leftist Chavez government blames hoarding by merchants to drive up prices, business says the problem is lack of foreign currency to pay for imports.
Chavez imposed price controls on staple foods in 2003 as part of an effort to control inflation and Caracas continues to maintain currency controls.
Price controls, like most government intrusions into the business world, cannot help but produce shortages.
An added advantage to Chavez of confiscating Empresas Polar's food is all the people he can throw out of work and into the arms of government dependency, just as our Democrats have been doing as a prominent feature of their major initiatives.
Founded some 70 years ago, Empresas Polar has 30 processing plants and its products are sold in more than 150,000 locations. The firm says it employs around 30,000 people and that its operations generate an additional 180,000 jobs in supply, distribution and support services.
History buffs will recall that Joseph Stalin was also big on confiscating food. He found it an effective way to pacify resistance. Millions of Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death for the greater glory of collectivism during the Holodomor.
Yet despite failure after failure, horror after horror, our elitist ruling class tries again and again to impose socialism. This is because under socialism, the ruling class makes out fairly well (including corrupt crony capitalists like Goldman Sachs and GE). It's only everyone else who suffers.

Here's what my friend doesn't understand. . . .the government IS watching you and me and I believe that only people that are willing to fight back against them are going to be able to stop this madness.

Obama Information Czar Calls For Banning Free Speech
According to Paul Joseph Watson at prisonplanet.com:
The controversy surrounding White House information czar and Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein’s blueprint for the government to infiltrate political activist groups has deepened, with the revelation that in the same 2008 dossier he also called for the government to tax or even ban outright political opinions of which it disapproved.
Sunstein was appointed by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an agency within the Executive Office of the President.
On page 14 of Sunstein’s January 2008 white paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” the man who is now Obama’s head of information technology in the White House proposed that each of the following measures “will have a place under imaginable conditions” according to the strategy detailed in the essay.
1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
That’s right, Obama’s information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, political opinions that the government doesn’t approve of. To where would this be extended? A tax or a shut down order on newspapers that print stories critical of our illustrious leaders?
And what does Sunstein define as “conspiracy theories” that should potentially be taxed or outlawed by the government? Opinions held by the majority of Americans, no less. . . .

Another Scam for the "Diversity Training" Racket. . . .Drop by Drop...
According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
Diversity hucksters --- with the generous assistance of the Nanny State and the trial bar --- have made a very lucrative racket out of getting major corporations to pay them big money to send in uptight little weenies to lecture employees on being more "tolerant;" you know, in case of decades of constant "tolerance" propaganda from public education, the entertainment media, Government, and churches somehow failed to get the message across.
The latest trendy scam for the Diversity racket is "Micro-Inequities," which might best be defined as, "little things rational people say or do that offend irrational people."
A micro-inequity can be very micro. It can involve an action or words or even a tone of voice or a gesture. The inequity can be a deliberate attempt to harm someone or it can be unintentional, rooted in a person's perceptions about others.
Apparently, fair pay and fair opportunities to advance aren't enough; now fragile minority egos have to be defended against having their feelers hurt, as this slimy little weasel in the video below illustrates...

READY FOR WAR... Headline on the drudgereport.com:
U.S. backs South Korea in punishing North
According to the associated press at msnbc.msn.com:
Plan military display of force in peninsula 'to deter future aggression'
SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea won U.S. support Monday for slashing trade to North Korea and vowed to haul its communist neighbor before the U.N. Security Council for a torpedo attack that sank a South Korean warship and killed 46 sailors.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he expects the Security Council to take action against North Korea, calling the evidence that the North was responsible "overwhelming and deeply troubling."
The U.S. and South Korea are planning two major military exercises off the Korean Peninsula in a display of force intended "to deter future aggression" by North Korea, the White House said. . . .
. . . .'All-out war'
North Korea has steadfastly denied any role in the ship's sinking. On May 20, naval spokesman Col. Pak In Ho told broadcaster APTN in Pyongyang that any punishment would mean "all-out war."
-------------------------------------------
Just when we think things can't even get any worse we are now facing all-out war with North Korea. How truly frightening to think that this could be a possibility knowing that North Korea now has nuclear weapons. . . .
See what happens when you keep appeasing communist dictators, terrorist and others. . . .They will eventually think they can do anything they want without any repercussions. . . .

90% Taxes. . . . .WTF?
According to Brad Wilmouth at newsbusters.org:
On Tuesday’s Larry King Live on CNN, a pre-recorded interview with Mick Jagger was shown in which the English musician talked about his decision to leave his home country in the 1970s to escape the 90 percent marginal tax rates of the time on high-income earners. After noting that he had made bad financial decisions in his earlier days of success, he recounted: "We had to leave England to acquire enough money to pay the taxes because in those days, in England, the high tax rate was 90 percent, so that's very hard. ... You made 100 pounds, they took 90. So it was very difficult to pay any debts back. So when we left the country, we would get more than the 10 pounds out of 100. You know, we might get 50 or something."
After King asked if he was "held in low regard in your mother country for leaving it," Jagger explained that, unlike in America, successful people are "resented" in most countries, including England. . . .
-----------------------------------------------
Hey Mick where you gonna move when the tax rate here in the US goes up to 90%? Don't forget President Obama just stated last week "We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money." and he wants to "spread the wealth around". . . .

It's Official Folks. . . .
According to scaredmonkeys.com:
Many have suspected it for months and now its official, from the AP:
In his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Barack Obama almost got upstaged by a rat.
But he didn’t even seem to notice. Assuming that’s what it was, scurrying in front of his podium Thursday in a sun-drenched Rose Garden.
Obama had just begun an afternoon statement to reporters lauding the end of a Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul plan when some kind of rodent — opinions differ on which — dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.
As photographers snapped away, the critter trundled straight past the gray podium with the presidential seal and made a bee-line for another set of bushes to Obama’s left.
Maybe a rat is not out of place after all in DC, as No Sheeple Here states … they are pretty common place.
The metaphors are too easy for this one. Was this rat looking for some stimulus money, maybe some free Obamacare? Or maybe, just maybe the rat was fleeing the sinking ship S.S. Obama.
Cuba Backs Dems Against Arizona. . . .
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
Despite overwhelming opposition from the American public, Dems do have support in their campaign against the enforcement of immigration law. It isn't only Felipe Calderon in their corner; they've got the Castro Bros. too:
Cuban lawmakers have passed a resolution denouncing Arizona's new immigration law as "racist and xenophobic," [not to mention a] "brutal violation of human rights"…
This criticism of asking aliens to produce papers after they've caused enough trouble to result in an encounter with the police comes from a communist dictatorship.
The tightly controlled, communist-run island has long been criticized for its human rights record, which includes the jailing of 200 political prisoners, the banning of a free press and the outlawing of opposition political parties.
Cuban citizens are required to carry identification with them wherever they go, and can be stopped by police and sent home if they are found in a part of the island where they don't belong.
But no extreme of hypocrisy can evoke shame in leftists, because leftists have no shame to evoke.
The Castro regime tried to persuade the Soviet Union to launch a nuclear attack on the United States. We know where it's coming from. We know where our Democrat rulers are coming from too.

Arizona Rancher Who Stopped Illegal Immigrants at Border Now Fighting $32 Million Lawsuit. . . .
If you are wondering why Arizonans are fed up with illegals just read on:
According to foxnews.com:
An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals — seeking $32 million in damages — who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border, the Washington Times reported Monday.
The rancher, Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home, the newspaper reported.
The lawsuit is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in a dry wash on the 22,000-acre ranch, when he approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog.
Attorneys for the immigrants — five women and 11 men who were trying to cross illegally into the United States — have accused Barnett of holding the group captive at gunpoint, threatening to turn his dog loose on them and saying he would shoot anyone who tried to escape.
His Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., is known by federal and county law enforcement authorities as "the avenue of choice" for immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally, the newspaper reports.
------------------------------------------
If you don't think this Rancher could lose everything he owns protecting his own land. . . .Read this case from 2009:
------------------------------------------
According to Gene P. at news.gather.com:
Jury orders rancher to pay $77,804 to illegal aliens
A federal jury found Tuesday that a southern Arizona rancher didn't violate the civil rights of a group of illegal immigrants who said he detained them at gunpoint in 2004.
The eight-member civil jury also found Roger Barnett wasn't liable on claims of battery and false imprisonment.
But the jury did find him liable on four claims of assault and four claims of infliction of emotional distress and ordered Barnett to pay $77,804 in damages — $60,000 of which were punitive.
They are citizens of Mexico. Trespassing across the border, onto a mans land. He roughs them up and they win 77k in a lawsuit? Only in America. They are still living here while their visa applications are pending. Makes no sense to me.
I'm all for immigrants making it to our country, as long as they do it by the books.
-----------------------------------------------
Don't you know that Davy Crockett, James Bowie, William Travis and all the brave Americans that fought and died at the Alamo are turning over in their graves knowing that over 200 years later we are still being invaded by Mexicans. . . .
I am so sick of the La Raza type Mexicans claiming that Texans stole their land. . . .They just need to understand WAR. . . .We won they lost. . . .so STFU

ICE chief won't process illegals from Arizona. . . .
ICE chief won't process illegals from Arizona
According to Ed Lasky at americanthinker.com:
In the age of Attorney General Eric Holder - who not only won't pursue the case against the New Black Panther Party, who won't investigate the allegations that Joe Sestak was illegally offered inducements by the Obama administration to drop his primary challenge against Arlen Specter, who won't investigate similar offers made by the Obama team to former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff to drop his primary challenge to Senator Michael Bennett, who won't investigate ACORN on possible racketeering charges, who has a blase approach towards terrorism and who cannot even utter the words "Islamic terrorism" - should we be surprised that John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, proudly declare he won't process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona state officials?
This team is looking at the November elections and realize their refusal to enforce federal laws can reap political payoffs.
From the New York Post's Capitol Punishment blog:
The country's top federal immigration enforcement cop says his agency won't be doing its job . "John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona officials. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, not a patchwork of state laws, he said. ‘I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution,' Morton said during a visit to the Chicago Tribune editorial board.
And Morton's opinion is relevant how exactly? Well, it is relevant in the sense that a senior Homeland Security official has openly declared that he won't be doing his job. Morton has sworn an oath to uphold the laws of the United States. He is not allowed to pick and choose which ones he likes and which he doesn't.
Perhaps Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano could do something right for a change and fire this guy.
For this administration, Lady Justice does not wear a blindfold and whether a law is enforced is determined by identity politics and one's level of savings.

Illegal immigrant gets $145G from NYC taxpayers
According to Michael Bearak at digitaljournal.com
An illegal immigrant from Barbados has won a civil lawsuit against the New York City Department of Corrections who was held at Rikers Island for over a month.
Cecil Harvey, 55, an illegal immigrant from Barbados with a long rap sheet for various crimes has now won a lawsuit against New York City, citing that his civil rights were violated when he was detained for more than 48 hours on Rikkers Island after the resolution of his last criminal case.
Federal law allows for suspected illegal immigrants to be held at Rikers Island for a period not to exceed 48 hours, which is designed to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement a chance to move them to a federal correctional institution and then to go through the deportation cycle. In Harvey's case he was held for over a month before being released. Armed with a civil rights advocacy group, he argued successfully that being held for a month exceeded the Federal allowed time frame of 48 hours.
The court agreed and awarded him $145,000. Harvey a father of three, along with three prior arrests was deported back to Barbados back in October of 2007, but now is much wealthier than when he left at the expense of the New York City tax payers.
The problem is that ICE fails to get these suspected illegal immigrants transferred in time and now the New York City Department of Corrections is having to dump these illegals on the streets and just leave it up to ICE to hunt them down and handle them.
According to one jail supervisor, "We just release them now. It's ICE's problem to go find these guys."
ICE contends that they are always ready to interview and move illegals, as long as they are notified. They could not comment on why Harvey was not moved but contend that they were never notified.
New York City claims that Harvey's was an isolated case.
-------------------------------------------
One blogger wrote:
John Morton should not only be fired for refusing to enforce the laws he took an oath to uphold, but should be prosecuted for aiding and abeting the criminals who brazenly thumb their noses at our immigration laws.
-------------------------------------------
So you see if ICE refuses to pick up the illegals within 48 hours they will HAVE to be released or the taxpayers of Arizona will be the ones who have to pay. . . .It is pathetic that Americans don't only have to fight the illegals but their own freakin' government too.
Maybe Arizona should do as one blogger wrote:
"California has been more than happy to cater to illegal immigrants, so just bus those captured criminals to the California border and dump them."
Or maybe the illegals will get lucky like Obama's Auntie who was ordered deported, refused to leave, lived off the public dole for 10 years and was recently granted legal status. . . .

Pensioner, 95, threatened with legal action after putting butter tub in wrong recycling bag. . . .
According to Steve Doughty at dailymail.co.uk:
A grandmother aged 95 was threatened with prosecution after putting a plastic butter tub in the wrong recycling bag.
Relatives of the woman say she was left horrified by the 'scary' legal notice, which they claim could have triggered a heart attack.
Her granddaughter, Karen Walters, 42, said: 'It is scary and ridiculous - she is a really law-abiding citizen. If she had seen the warning, she would have had a heart attack.
'But luckily her son spotted it before she saw it. The fact is that a 95-year-old was threatened with prosecution. She was horrified when she was told about it.'
The threat came from a town hall which provides its residents with no fewer than seven recycling bins and a complex set of 'rubbish rules' they must follow. . . .

Another example of the inmates running the asylum. In the past years of Labour's unwarrented intrusion into the everyday lives of ordinary decent people, this stupidity as reached the point where it now has to stop. Most of the problem seems to be with the "little helpers" who are ever willing to carry out the instructions of their masters. The man who stuck the notice on the bin didn't have to, he could just as easily transferred the offending carton to the correct container. No doubt he felt he had to exersise 'his authority' and earn a few points. What a sad society we have become when a public servant thinks it is more appropriate to offend than please the people he is paid to serve

They start this crap here in the US and I'll end of being a hoarder and just pile it high. . . .Can you imagine trying to figure out what trash goes in which of 9 different bins? Heck we're lucky to even get the trash out to the curb.
These leftist loons will not be happy until life as we know it ceases to exist. We will be taxed and regulated from everything we eat to everything we do.

Rush Blitzes Clueless, Hypocritical Mexican President. . . .
According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
It was on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show that Mexican president Felipe Calderon admitted that his government treats immigrants ... well, they treat immigrants the way idiot leftists claim immigrants are treated in Arizona.
But it took America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, to really bring the exchange to life.
This is why Chairman Zero and his fluffers in the media really hate Rush Limbaugh. (Also, approximately 40X as many people heard this on Rush's show as saw it on CNN).
I wonder if any of our progressive trolls will actually listen to it, before slipping into knee-jerk denunciations.
------------------------------------------
More Rush Quotes:
"When's the last time you heard anybody in this administration speak glowingly, respectfully, positively of this country? It doesn't happen."
"Did you know this? Calderon's best friend, folks, is missing, thought to have been kidnapped and killed by Mexican drug gangs. And he comes here and disses us!"

It was on Wolf Blitzer's CNN show that Mexican president Felipe Calderon admitted that his government treats immigrants ... well, they treat immigrants the way idiot leftists claim immigrants are treated in Arizona.
But it took America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, to really bring the exchange to life.
This is why Chairman Zero and his fluffers in the media really hate Rush Limbaugh. (Also, approximately 40X as many people heard this on Rush's show as saw it on CNN).
I wonder if any of our progressive trolls will actually listen to it, before slipping into knee-jerk denunciations.

More Rush Quotes:
"When's the last time you heard anybody in this administration speak glowingly, respectfully, positively of this country? It doesn't happen."
"Did you know this? Calderon's best friend, folks, is missing, thought to have been kidnapped and killed by Mexican drug gangs. And he comes here and disses us!"

Senate passes sweeping Wall St. bill. . . .
According to Carrie Budoff Brown & Meredith Shiner at politico.com:
The most sweeping overhaul of the nation’s financial regulatory system since the Great Depression cleared the Senate Thursday night – putting President Barack Obama on his way toward a second major legislative accomplishment this year. . . .
. . . . But to the end, most Republicans criticized the measure as a vast overreach of government authority.
"This bill is flawed," said Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), the top Republican negotiator. "This bill promises more government, more costs, slower economic growth, and fewer jobs. It threatens privacy rights and fails to address crucial elements of the recent crisis."
-----------------------------------
BTW - The new RINO Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts voted FOR the bill. . . .and there is also no reform in this bill for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which were major players in the financial meltdown of our great nation last year.

You Have to "Show Your Papers" to See the President. . . .
According to Doug Powers at michellemalkin.com:
A public service announcement from the people who believe that “checking papers” is an affront to civil liberties:
The White House appears to be laying the groundwork for President Barack Obama to shake the hand of each senior at Kalamazoo Central High School’s commencement ceremony next month.
Seniors are being asked to provide their birthdates, Social Security numbers and citizen status to the Secret Service so background checks could be performed. Such a check is required for anyone who gets within an arm’s length of the president, students were told at their senior breakfast Friday.
It’s too bad somebody can’t convince these guys to at least pretend that the borders are simply one big entrance to meet the president. The Obama administration is so against checking papers that they’re even refusing to check the paper upon which Arizona’s immigration law is written, but K’zoo Central grads will have to present their papers nonetheless.
I’ll give $10 toward the college fund of the first graduate who, when asked for his or her citizen status, replies “Him first” and sends the whole school into emergency Birther lockdown.
-------------------------------------------
So it is okay to show your papers to protect the President, but NOT okay to protect the millions of people in Arizona.
Does the word HYPOCRITE come to your mind?

Payback: Arizona Official Threatens to Cut Off LA Power for Boycott. . . .
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Wednesday defiantly rejected a warning by a top Arizona utilities official that the state could cut off power to Los Angeles should the city proceed with its boycott of all things Arizona.
Spokesman David Beltran told Fox News that the message didn't even warrant a response.
"We're not going to respond to threats from a state which has isolated itself from the America that values freedom, liberty and basic human rights," Beltran said.
That was after Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commission, wrote a letter to Villaraigosa slamming his City Council's decision to boycott the Grand Canyon State -- in protest of its immigration law -- by suspending official travel there and ending future contracts with state businesses.
Noting that a quarter of Los Angeles' electricity comes from Arizona power plants, Pierce threatened to pull the plug if the City Council does not reconsider.
"Doggone it -- if you're going to boycott this candy store ... then don't come in for any of it," Pierce told FoxNews.com.
In the letter, he ridiculed Villaraigosa for saying that the point of the boycott was to "send a message" by severing the "resources and ties" they share.
"I received your message; please receive mine. As a statewide elected member of the Arizona Corporation Commission overseeing Arizona's electric and water utilities, I too am keenly aware of the 'resources and ties' we share with the city of Los Angeles," Pierce wrote.
"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."
Appearing to tap into local frustration in Arizona over the raft of boycotts and threatened boycotts from cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Pierce warned that Arizona companies are willing and ready to fight boycott with boycott.
"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," Pierce wrote. "If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona's economy."
Pierce told FoxNews.com that he was speaking for himself, not the entire commission, though he has the support of at least one other member. But Arizona has some serious leverage over Los Angeles, as well as the rest of California. The state and city get electricity from a nuclear power plant outside Phoenix, as well as from coal-fired power plants in northern Arizona and two giant hydroelectric power generators along the Colorado River.
Despite that, the Los Angeles City Council voted overwhelmingly last week to ban future business with Arizona -- a decision that could cost Arizona millions of dollars in lost contracts.
Los Angeles officials were furious with the Arizona immigration law passed last month and joined local officials in cities across the country in pushing boycotts to register their dismay. Critics say the law will lead to racial profiling and civil rights abuses.
Arizona officials have defended the law, saying the state needed to take its illegal immigration problem into its own hands. Pierce said he's "supportive" of the state's efforts to control the border.
The law requires local law enforcement to try to verify the immigration status of anyone they have contact with whom they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. It empowers them to turn over verified illegal immigrants to federal custody. The legislation explicitly prohibits screening people based solely on race or national origin.
------------------------------------------
Wouldn't you love to see this scenerio. . . . di*khead LA Mayor Villaraigosa is sitting at his desk with his shoes propped up on his fancy mahogany desk and all of a sudden the lights flicker and then go out. I wonder if he'd be singing the song by Glen Campbell - ."By The Time I Get To Phoenix" I'll be apoligizing. . . .
-----------------------------------------
According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
If You Say So, Mr. Mayor
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says that illegal immigrants have made California's economy the mighty powerhouse that it is.
"In California, I think there's a real sense that these immigrants provide a great deal to the economic might of the state, while at the same time give us an opportunity to take the lead on this issue of really pushing the federal government to fix a broken immigration system."
California's unemployment rate: 12.6%
California's state deficit: $19.1 Billion.
California 2009 job losses: 579,000
Sometimes, I get the distinct impression that politicians lie. (me too)

el Presidente de Mexico on AZ Immigration Law Before Congress. . . .
----------------------------------------
Here's a little bit of what the angrywhitedude had to say:
A couple of things! I would be damned if I would have sat through one second of that corrupt Mexican fool’s speech once he started in on Arizona’s law. And I would have called “Bullsh*t” on the way to the door! There are two huge things wrong here and this video illustrates them both! DemonRats actually stood and applauded the Mexican pendejo’s criticism of Arizona’s immigration law that they themselves are responsible for! Those corrupt, worthless bastards!! The other thing is the whipped dog, wussypants Republicans sat there while a third world foreign crook lectured them on Arizona’s immigration law! When Calderon himself has aided Mexicans in breaking our immigration laws! What does he criticize? Of course, politically correct racial profiling! Incidentally, the law goes overboard to ensure racial profiling doesn’t occur. Who cares? This political correct poison has us worrying about hurting the feelings of lawbreakers before enforcing the law! It’s crazy! Insane!
I would be remiss if I didn’t tell Presidente Calderon to @#&* off! I would be further remiss if I didn’t tell Hussein Hopenchange to @#&* even more! How @#&* dare a US President let some third world corruptacrat speak before Congress and lecture the United States on our laws! President AWD would have thrown his little corrupt Mezcan ass out of the building before he finished his second sentence! Of course, President AWD would make executive order number 1 a triple fence wall across our border with Mexico to be completed in 60 days.
----------------------------------------
Here's what some bloggers wrote:
America exists no longer. It's time to eliminate the enemy of America which is within.. They have plotted evil against our Constitution and are guilty of treason! Justice must be served!
SHAME ON YOU, DEMOCRATS. Shame on you for choosing Mexicans over Americans. SHAME ON YOU. Giving a standing ovation to this crap. How about if we implement Mexico's immigration laws here in the US, huh? Look 'em up, Nancy Pelosi. And then tell us that Arizona's decision to UPHOLD FEDERAL LAWS are really that unjust. Modern day democrats are nothing more than a carnival freak show.
I never thought I would live to see the day that we were lectured to by the likes of Mexico and China, all the while our “President” stands by and not only does not stand up for America and whats right, but is in agreement with these third world losers. If Calderon is so offended by the Arizona law, he must be offended by U.S. and Mexican immigration law. Also, if he and his fellow Mexican leaders ran a country that was worth a shit, all these “undocumented workers” would not be trying to leave it droves. People want to come to the U.S. and they want to leave Mexico yet he’s scolding us for how we conduct business here? The height of arrogance. How about they mind their business and we mind ours. Oh, and while Calderon’s at it, maybe he could take Obama home with him since they have like views on how to run a country into the ground!
Can’t believe we have Mexico and China spanking/lecturing the USA on this CRAP……Wish our Government would tell them to Go To Hell…Oh, I forgot…. Our Government is a bunch of Girly Men and Manly Girls….
----------------------------------------
Obama and members of this administration are not only going around the world condemning our great nation, but they allow this cabron (fu*ker) from Mexico to stand before our congress and denounce the new immigration law in Arizona. To put salt in the wound the democrats actually gave this ba*tard a standing ovation.
Calderon the el Presidente de Mexico is just pissed that billions of dollars haven't been flowing south of the border into his corrupt pockets lately. If America is so bad why don't you round up all of your people and take them home. Why leave them in this awful country? What a hypocrite spewing this crock. You cross the Mexican border illegally – two years in jail. Do it again – ten years in jail. And he’s complaining about having to show papers? You have to do the same in Mexico!

Obama: Our Nation Is Not Defined by Its Borders. . . .WTF?
President Obama to Mexican President Felipe Calderon "In the twenty-first century, we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds."
----------------------------------------------
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
Mexican President Criticizes Arizona at White House
I'm figuring like the entire Obama administration he hasn't read the law either. Nice to see a foreigner getting involved in our domestic politics while the current occupant of the White House stands there like a deaf mute.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon seized the opportunity to blast Arizona's controversial immigration law on Wednesday after President Obama welcomed him to the White House.
Arizona's law, which takes effect in July, will call for state and local police to determine if people are in the country illegally.
At the start of Wednesday's state visit to Washington, Calderon said the law discriminated against Mexicans and called for the two countries to work together to develop an immigration policy that did not force people to live in the shadows "with such laws as the Arizona law, which is forcing our people to face discrimination."
Calderon, whose remarks were translated from Spanish, said "We can do so if we create a safer border -- a border that will unite us instead of dividing us.
Uh, that's what borders are for. How idiotic.
Memo to Calderon: Worry about your lawless country and we'll take care of ours, you ungrateful hypocrite.
Well, Calderon can stick it. I'll never again set foot in Mexico, and I'm sure many other Americans feel the same way. Criticize me in my country and there's a price to pay. You can kiss a lot of tourist dollars goodbye.
----------------------------------------------
Here's what a couple of bloggers comments:
Obama, you traitorous thug, the F*CK we aren't defined by our borders! You'd sell your mother as a whore if you thought it would somehow advance your infinite ego and agenda. America has had just about enough of your apologies, denials ('not a Christian nation', 'not defined by our borders', etc.) and bowing to the rest of the world. You lose, Barry...and it's only just beginning. You'll go down in history as THE biggest loser, THE most incompetent, THE most traitorous bastard in American history. Benedict Arnold will look like Mother Theresa next to your pathetic ass. Oh...and no one will care that you were "African American", because LOSER trumps everything.
"Any government that controls its borders--like Mexico's, for example--necessarily "criminalizes" migration that is inconsistent with its laws. Many Mexicans seem to think that the United States is the one country on earth that has no right to set an immigration policy consistent with what it perceives to be its interests. It would be nice to have confidence that our President does not share that view" Obama always sides with whomever stands in opposition to America.
----------------------------------------------
OMG. . . .Are we living in the middle of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon? At least tripping on acid clouded his mind? What's Obama's excuse?
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace. . . .
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
----------------------------------------------
WTF? Is there a "Margarita Summit" going on in Washington, DC? Were tequila shots being passed around? Not only did the President of the United States make his own ignorant statement concerning our borders, but he allowed the President of a corrupt nation to condemn us.
The Attorney General, the head of National Security, the State Dept and the President of the United States have not even read the 10 page Arizona Immigration Law SB1070 that they condemn. Are these people even competent to govern our great nation? I don't think so. . . . .
"Estúpido viejo pendejos"
