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. . . . .

How Would Libs' Beloved ChiComs Deal With Illegal Immigration?

How Would Libs' Beloved ChiComs Deal With Illegal Immigration?

According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:

You've probably heard about Obama's representative Michael Posner apologizing to communist China for the human rights abuse committed by Arizona in passing SB 1070, a very mild attempt to enforce federal immigration law. It makes you wonder how the totalitarian thugs running China would deal with an invasion by millions of Mexicans. Their reaction to the swine flu outbreak last year offers a clue:

Following the discovery of [a Mexican with swine flu], authorities quarantined 70 Mexicans who arrived in China over the May 1 holiday weekend, most on different flights from the infected man. They include an official at Mexico's consulate in Guangzhou who was returning on a flight from Southeast Asia. Except for the initial case, none of the 70 has shown symptoms of the disease, says a spokesperson from the embassy. Now concerns are being raised that Mexicans are being isolated solely because of their nationality.

Mexico's Foreign Minister, Patricia Espinosa, called the treatment of the Mexicans in China discriminatory and said some of the quarantined travelers were being held in "unacceptable conditions." On May 3, Mexico's ambassador to China, Jorge Guajardo, attempted to visit 10 Mexicans who are in quarantine at Guomen Hotel in suburban Beijing, but he was denied access. As of Monday morning, he still hadn't been able to gain access to the group. Over the Mexican government's objections, China has decided to halt all AeroMexico flights coming into China.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu responded to Mexican complaints:

"China understands Mexico's concern for its citizens in China, but we hope Mexico could focus on the bigger picture of fighting against the epidemic … and deal with the issue in an objective and calm way."

If only moonbats could focus on the bigger picture of maintaining America's sovereignty, economy, social cohesion, and rule of law … and deal with the issue in an objective and calm way. But that isn't likely.

Prominent lib yapper Chris "Tingles" Matthews thinks our rulers should deal with the energy industry ChiCom style: by nationalizing it and executing executives. But I doubt he would advocate a ChiCom approach to illegal immigration.

Green Makes Spain Go Mainly Down the Drain. . . .

Green Makes Spain Go Mainly Down the Drain. . . .

Accoding to maryhunter at moonbattery.com:

Pajamas Media exclusive from Christopher Horner: a leaked Spanish government internal document confirms what non-governmental sources have been suggesting for months: Green economic policies are completely effing up Spain's economy.

Yes, that very Spain that President Obama has referred to on numerous occasions as a model of how a nation should go green.

The government report does not expressly confirm the highest-profile finding of the non-governmental report: that Spain's "green economy" program cost the country 2.2 jobs for every job "created" by the state. However, the figures published in the government document indicate they arrived at a job-loss number even worse than the 2.2 figure from the independent study.

This document is not a public report. Spanish media has referred to its existence in recent weeks though, while Bloomberg and the Washington Examiner have noted the impact: Spain is now forced to jettison its plans -- Obama's model -- for a "green economy."

Obama's Illegal Alien Aunt Gains Legal Status. . . .

Obama's illegal alien aunt gains legal status

According to Stephen Bennett at americanthinker.com:

An amnesty before THE AMNESTY?

It appears that Obama's illegal alien auntie, Zeituni Onyango, has gained legal status according to CNN. Ms. Onyango has been overstaying a visa since 2004 when she was ordered deported, refused to leave and has been living on the public dole in a housing project in Boston.

She did attend the inauguration of her nephew courtesy of her immigration lawyer, though she remained out of the limelight.

I suppose now one could say she's been brought out of the shadows? As conservative warrior Michelle Malkin said, "It Ain't Over 'Til the Alien Wins".

A portent of things to come?

The Green Definition of Profit. . . .

The Green Definition of Profit. . . .

According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:

A windpower advocate in France was confronted with the reality that windpower is an expensive, inefficient, money-losing proposition, and responded that wind energy is in fact profitable if you look at it a certain way.

"First, I would like to dispute the idea that Eolienne windmills aren't profitable. Once one adds all the subsidies and financial support the industry receives from the French government and the European Community, it is losing very little money."

And now you understand the economic justification behind green jobs.

To the rest of us, profit means selling something for more than it cost to make, house, and ship.

Holder Admits He Has Not Read Arizona Immigration Law

According to MaryHunter at moonbattery.com:

It's one thing for the Obama regime to criticize the new Arizona immigration law on principle. It's quite another to do so, as a matter of administration policy, without even knowing what they are talking about.

Rep. Ted Poe from Texas grills Attorney General Eric Holder, who gave testimony before the House Judicial Committee on May 13, 2010. It's a revealing six and a half minutes.

The bill is a whole 10 pages long. But Holder is a pretty busy guy, what with protecting our nation from Islamic terrorists perpetrators of man-made disasters.

Comrade Obama: Information Is Bad. . . .

Comrade Obama: Information Is Bad

According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:

When the head of the government openly proclaims that he wants us to be less informed, the country has obviously gotten itself into serious trouble:

In his latest swipe at the modern media environment, President Obama used a commencement speech over the weekend to bemoan the onslaught of information in the digital age and suggest that the gusher of news out there is too much of a good thing. …

Speaking at Hampton University in Virginia, the president raised alarms when he said "information becomes a distraction, a diversion" that is putting "pressure on our country and on our democracy."

A distraction from what, if not blind obedience to an agenda that will destroy our country socially, politically, morally, and economically? How could any legitimate leader want his people to be less informed?

For an answer, here's a quote from another infamous statist, Joseph Goebbels:

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Unsurprisingly, B. Hussein singled out cable television (i.e., Fox News), radio (Rush et al.), and blogs (like this one), outlets for information that has not been twisted into lies by servile political obedience, unlike the liberal establishment media, which has reduced itself to a tasteless joke.

He's identified his enemies, and begun the Alinskyite process of demonizing them. Silence coercively imposed by the State will inevitably follow.

Obama sure liked this "new" technology when it helped get him elected. . . .When Obama claims that "information becomes a distraction, a diversion" it makes you wonder if a Chavez-Style media crackdown is coming soon to America?

Cap & Trade Is Back as the "American Power Act of 2010"

Cap & Trade Is Back

According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:

It will take decades to recover from the havoc Democrats have created since they acquired all the keys to the liquor cabinet in 2008. ObamaCare alone will probably bankrupt the nation within a generation. But the worst hasn't hit us yet. In addition to an amnesty program that will open the floodgates to tens of millions of Third World public dependents, Tax & Charade still lurks in the background. The House has already passed a version. If made into law, it will plunge the nation into depression, easily double the already atrocious unemployment rate, and grant the federal government totalitarian power over all areas of human endeavor — all in the name of making a futile gesture toward relieving a "crisis" that an increasing number of Americans are aware does not exist.

All the Dems need is a Senate bill to coordinate with the House bill; Comrade Obama is chomping at the bit to sign the result. Two of the most pernicious kleptocrats in the Senate, Hanoi John Kerry and the allegedly moderate Joe Lieberman, have taken the lead with the American Power Act. The bill summary and section-by-section analysis are already online. Prominently featured are draconian restrictions on "global warming pollution" — i.e., the utterly harmless CO2 that is generated by literally all human activity.

If Dems are able to ram this through like ObamaCare, plant a garden. The economy is likely to collapse, as probably intended. Another option is to move to China, India, or Mexico — where the last American manufacturing jobs will be headed.

Not even the left-wing maniacs in Washington think driving American industry overseas will have any impact on the weather. Cap & Trade is a naked power grab. For the gang of thugs that calls itself our government to have the unprecedented level of totalitarian control it's after, not only our economic freedom but the wealth it created must be destroyed.

------------------------------------------

Cap and Trade gets a new name – Behold the “American Power Act” of 2010. . . . .

Under "Obamacare" our healthcare expenses will skyrocket and under the "American Power Act" our utilities will too. What BS it was when Obama kept claiming that Americans making under $250,000 a year wouldn't see one dime of more taxes. . . . .Their slight of hand - it's not new taxes but new regulation fees. . . . .WTF?

Why Should American Taxpayers Bail Out Greece?

According to Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers at nationalreview.com:

All across America, people are suffering from “bailout fatigue.” In the last two years, U.S. taxpayers have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out Wall Street, GM, Chrysler, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, and now President Obama is taking us down a new road that could lead to spending tens of billions of dollars more to bail out foreign countries.

At yesterday’s House Leadership press conference, Rep. Mike Pence and I announced that we are circulating a letter to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner expressing our opposition to using taxpayer dollars for a European bailout. Greece’s $145 billion bailout is just the tip of the iceberg. By rewarding Greece’s failed socialist policies, a Greek bailout makes it more likely that other European countries — especially Spain, Portugal, and Italy — will get in line for American tax dollars and delay the inevitable fiscal reforms that are needed for a long-term recovery.

In recent days, Portugal and Spain have seen their credit ratings downgraded on foreign exchanges. Piero Ghezzi, an economist at Barclay’s Capital, estimates that Spain may need a $450 billion bailout. As a larger economy, Italy may need even more.

While we root for Europe’s success, because a strong European economy benefits America, it’s worth nothing that the EU was created to be an economic competitor to the United States. Therefore, while it may be appropriate for the EU to pay for these bailouts, the same logic doesn’t apply to America. President Obama should extricate the U.S. from the gathering storm of European bailouts which will only delay the fiscal reforms that are necessary for long-term recovery.

Even at this late hour, the Obama administration has considerable power to stop the U.S. from going down this ruinous road. Under current IMF rules, the United States needs only one other IMF member to oppose the bailout to defeat it. Therefore, we are calling on President Obama to publicly oppose the $145 billion Greek bailout, and refuse to participate in any larger European bailout which may be forthcoming.

Although Greece’s population is just over 11 million, Greece employs more than a million people in their public sector. Greek civil servants enjoy 14 months of pay for twelve months worked, and their average retirement age is 53. Once retired, they enjoy generous pension benefits worth 80 percent of their salary.

While many of these benefits will inevitably be reduced as part of the IMF bailout, the sheer size of bailout will dull much of the pain. After all, given Greece’s small population, $145 billion works out to $13,000 per person. An equivalent bailout of the United States — which has a population of over 300 million — would cost over $4 trillion.

At a time when America is experiencing its worst economy in 30 years and is burdened by a $1.4 trillion deficit, U.S. taxpayers should not be forced to prop up failed socialist policies in relatively wealthy European nations.

The question needs to be asked: Why should American taxpayers contribute to such a generous bailout when most states, including California, New York, and New Jersey, are making severe budget cuts to balance their budgets? Strong leaders like Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey are making tough choices without raising taxes or even requesting aid from Washington, D.C. If America isn’t asking for Europe’s help with New Jersey, why should Europe feel uninhibited about asking for America’s help with Greece?

After all, the U.S. is in the midst of its own debt crisis. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that America’s debt held by the public will reach 90 percent of Gross Domestic Product within ten years. By comparison, Greece’s current debt-to-GDP ratio of 112.5 percent has resulted in a lowering of their credit rating to junk status. Without dramatic spending restraint, the U.S. is on a path towards the same catastrophe.

With its record spending and deficits, the Obama administration has shown little interest in taking fiscal responsibility. That is a mistake. To see the consequences of “Obama-nomics,” take a look at Greece today. Or look at Spain tomorrow. That is America’s future unless we reverse course, and do it soon. Contributing to a Greek bailout — or any larger European bailout — will only speed up the day of reckoning.

The Obama administration should protect U.S. taxpayers and publicly oppose a European bailout. At the very least, the president should be upfront and forthright about the potential costs of such a bailout. And he should take ownership of his decision by acknowledging he has tools at his disposal to stop a bailout, if he chooses to use them.

European bailouts are a legitimate national issue that requires an open debate. We look forward to the administration’s response.

----------------------------------------------

Finally someone with enough cojones to try and prevent at least $50 billion of our tax dollars going to bailout Greece. . . .Whose next? Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal? Who will come to Americas rescue? Let the Socialist bailout the Socialist. . . .

One Way For Greece to Survive. . . .

According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:

The economic meltdown in Greece has led to some interesting steps being taken for their survival. One of which is the realization that socialized medical care is a failure and needs to be privatized.

Policy Failure: Greece was told that if it wanted a bailout, it needed to consider privatizing its government health care system. So tell us again why the U.S. is following Europe's welfare state model.

The requirement, part of a deal arranged by the IMF, the European Union and the European Central bank, is a tacit admission that national health care programs are unsustainable. Along with transportation and energy, the bailout group, according to the New York Times, wants the Greek government to remove "the state from the marketplace in crucial sectors."

This is not some cranky or politically motivated demand. It is a condition based on the ugly reality of government medicine. The Times reports that economists — not right-wingers opposed to health care who want to blow up Times Square — say liberalizing "the health care industry would help bring down prices in these areas, which are among the highest in Europe."

Of course most of the media have been largely silent about the health care privatization measure for Greece, as it conflicts with their universal, single-payer health care narrative.

The public health system in the Hellenic Republic is operated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, where centralized decisions and rules are made.

It provides free or low-cost treatment through what is essentially a single-payer system established in 1983 when the Socialist Party was in power. Family members and retirees are also covered. Like the systems in Britain and Canada, it has agonizingly long waiting lists.

It should be no surprise that in Greece, health care spending as a percentage of the economy is relatively steep. According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development data, it's higher than that in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and Japan. Despite all the spending, Greece could never cover 100% of its citizens, reaching only about 83% for primary care.

Today, the patient most in need of a room in the intensive-care ward is Greece itself — what with government debt nearing 120% of GDP and the deficit at 13% of GDP.

So let me get this straight.

The Democrats in Washington have been adopting the European socialist economy model, the same one that is melting down now before our eyes. Those same European socialists are just now realizing that their socialized health care system is too expensive and cumbersome and can't be sustained. Some of their public is rioting over the prospect of losing their government handouts.

At the same time, in the U.S., the socialists who have taken over Congress and the White House are sending us headlong into socialism in general, with the centerpiece of their agenda the socialized ObamaCare program. They claim that their socialized medicine plan is needed to save money and make the health care delivery system viable, even though that same system fails everywhere it is tried.

This is either the height of arrogance or insanity.

Stunner: Chavez's Socialist Dreamstate Crumbling. . . .

According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:

Hard to believe isn't it? Socialism has a 100% track record: It's failed every time. Of course the only way this thug is leaving office is in a box, but keep hope alive. His day will come.

Venezuela's economy is in trouble despite the country's huge oil reserves. Blackouts plague major cities. Its inflation rate is among the world's highest. Private enterprise has been so hammered, the World Bank says, that Venezuela is forced to import almost everything it needs.

The situation is creating a serious challenge to President Hugo Chavez's efforts to transform his country into a socialist state.

Take, for instance, the Three M metal works, tucked into an industrial zone in San Cristobal, the capital of Tachira state in western Venezuela.

On a recent day, big machinery stamps out sheet metal. For a moment, things seem normal in the plant. But more often than not these days, the contraptions are dead quiet — shut down.

"Just like us, everyone is suffering," says manager Marta Medina. She reels off a list of problems the company faces: lack of spare parts, power shortages and falling orders.

The workforce is down to just eight, from more than 50 people employed a year ago.

It's a common experience in Venezuela, where the economy contracted 3.3 percent in 2009 and is expected to shrink further this year. Few business owners see a rosy future, at least in the short term.

Jose Guerra, a former Central Bank economist, says state intervention in private businesses is hitting the economy hard.

"The government is nationalizing, expropriating, or confiscating," he says. "They are not creating new wealth; this is wealth that was already created."

If that weren't bad enough, another factor is hobbling the economy — an unprecedented energy crisis.

There's that word again: unprecedented. Whenever socialism fails, the media calls it unprecedented. Of course there is precedence all over the globe of failed socialist states.

Critics say a lack of investment, coupled with government ineptitude, left Venezuela without the electrical generation capacity it needs. The government blames a brutal drought.

Whatever the reason, cities such as San Cristobal go dark every day — sometimes for four hours or more, as the government uses rolling blackouts to save energy.

On a recent morning at Zambrano auto works, the compressors and power painters come on after a blackout. Workers have been at a standstill for an hour, says Jesus Yanis, who paints cars. He adds that he expects the power to go out again later in the day, for another two hours.

The blackouts have hurt business, Yanis says.

This is not the way it was supposed to be. Venezuela is one of the world's great energy powers. Its oil reserves are among the world's largest and its hydroelectric plants are among the most potent.

But these days, Venezuela is being left behind: The rest of Latin America is expected to grow at a healthy rate this year, according to the World Bank.

Guerra, the former Central Bank economist, says the government must reconsider its policies — and drop the statist socialist model that Chavez adopted.

"The government has to consider that the socialist point of view is not so good for the economy," Guerra says. "Chavez believes in the old-fashioned socialism. This kind of socialism is dead, definitely dead, it doesn't apply to any country in the world."

Sadly, the Democrats in this country still believe in socialism, which is why they must be removed from office.

According to Tom Abate at sfgate.com:

Magazine mocks California as "the Venezuela of North America"

When it comes to business climate, California ranks last among the states according to the latest attack on the rules and red tape despised by the respondents to a survey by CEO Magazine.

The article poses this rhetorical question:

"How is it that the nation's most populous state at 37 million, one that is the world's eighth-largest economy and the country's richest and most diverse agricultural producer, a state that had the fastest growth rate in the 1950s and 1960s during the tenures of Democratic Governor Pat Brown and Republican Governors Earl Warren and Ronald Reagan, should become the Venezuela of North America? . . . By contrast, Texas, the second-most populous state and the world's 12th largest economy, is where 70 percent of all new U.S. jobs have been created since 2008."

Do we need to Texify California to attract industry? And what would that mean?

Medal for "Courageous Restraint". . . .WTF?

RUSH: All right, here it is, I'm holding it right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. Dateline today, my version of it here is from the Navy Times, and the headline: "Hold Fire, Earn a Medal -- US troops in Afghanistan..." This would be the Yellow Heart medal. "US troops in Afghanistan could soon be awarded a medal for not doing something, a precedent-setting award that would be given for 'courageous restraint' for holding fire to save civilian lives. The proposal is now circulating in the Kabul headquarters of the International Security Assistance Force, a command spokesman confirmed Tuesday. ... Soldiers are often recognized for non-combat achievement with decorations such as their service’s commendation medal. But most of the highest US military decorations are for valor in combat. A medal to recognize a conscious effort to avoid a combat action would be unique." Well, okay. I'm sorry I missed this, folks. I'm up to speed on it now. So we're going to have courageous military medal for showing restraint. If you really want to do it right, you make it posthumous. You give the award to somebody who showed restraint and died in the process. . . .

. . . . .(doing terrorist impression) "Do you mean the Americans are going to award themselves medals for not shooting? Oh! Thank you, Allah! Allahu akbar!" Can you just see this? The terrorists have to be laughing their butts off. Now what's going to happen here in Afghanistan? Now there will be immediate changes in terrorist training. Everybody will be trained to look and act like a civilian. Oh, man. Liberalism. People who hate the military. People who think the military is the focus of evil in the modern world -- and wait 'til we have that medal ceremony. Wait 'til we have that. In the meantime, we tried to convict three SEALs on trumped-up evidence of busting some terrorist lip who had murdered a bunch of Americans. Thankfully, they were acquitted, but just the idea that they were court-martialed in Iraq is amazing. By the way, I'm told this is a NATO idea and that the Navy Times story, if you read further here says it's a NATO idea. Just let France back in! France now can have a Courageous Medal for Surrender. It's a way to get France back into the upper echelon of bravery and valor.

RUSH: Hey, I got it, folks. After the courageous medal for restraint, let's have another medal -- the works and plays well with the enemy medal. Kids in kindergarten got gold stars, works and plays well with other children. Well, let's have the works and plays well with the enemy medal. You want a sample note from one of my Marine buddies? Great one, "I cannot believe what I just heard you say on the radio. Combat medal for restraint? Maybe those three Navy SEALs shoulda taken that terrorist out for dinner, gotten him a prostitute. That way they wouldn't have been court-martialed. They would have been given a medal for restraint. I can guarantee you Marines, like Lieutenant General Chesty Puller, are rolling over in their graves right now. Semper fi, Big Dick, aka, The Field Marshal." Calls his wife "The Warden."

So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives.

Of Course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need!

New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered.

(And your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now).

And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?!!
