Ten Things You Need to Know About DREAM Act Amnesty. . . .
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) lists 10 things you probably won't learn from Katie Cupcake and friends regarding the nightmare known as the DREAM Act, which the lame duck Democrat Congress plans to ram through in the interests of creating more voters of the socialist persuasion in time for 2012:
1. The DREAM Act is NOT limited to children, and it will be funded on the backs of hard working, law-abiding Americans.
2. The DREAM Act PROVIDES SAFE HARBOR FOR ANY ALIEN, including criminals, from being removed or deported if they simply submit an application.
3. Certain criminal aliens will be eligible for amnesty under the DREAM Act.
4. Estimates suggest that at least 2.1 million illegal aliens will be eligible for the DREAM Act amnesty. In reality, we have no idea how many illegal aliens will apply.
5. Illegal aliens will get in-state tuition benefits.
6. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien finish any type of degree (vocational, two-year, or bachelor's degree) as a condition of amnesty.
7. The DREAM Act does not require that an illegal alien serve in the military as a condition for amnesty, and there is already a legal process in place for illegal aliens to obtain U.S. citizenship through military service.
8. Despite their current illegal status, DREAM Act aliens will be given all the rights that legal immigrants receive — including the legal right to sponsor their parents and extended family members for immigration.
9. Current illegal aliens will get federal student loans, federal work study programs, and other forms of federal financial aid.
10. DHS is prohibited from using the information provided by illegal aliens whose DREAM Act amnesty applications are denied to initiate their removal proceedings or investigate or prosecute fraud in the application process.
For details on each point, see the Center for Individual Freedom.
The Dems in Congress didn't give a hoot about our interests before we voted them out of office, why would they suddenly become responsive to their constituents now? This might be a good time to start learning Spanish.

Body Scanners Create Profits for Chertoff and Others. . . .
According to Noel Brinkerhoff at allgov.com:
Expanding the use of full-body scanners at airports will improve the nation’s security, says the Obama administration.
It also will benefit the manufacturers of the equipment, including those lobbying on their behalf, like former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
Chertoff’s consulting firm, the Chertoff Group, represents OSI Systems, one of two companies licensed to sell full-body scanners to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). OSI, maker of the Rapiscan machine, garnered attention recently because its CEO, Deepak Chopra (no relation to the spiritual author and speaker), was invited to travel with President Barack Obama on his trip to India. The arrangement demonstrated the closeness of the company with the White House, and the trip was a potential money-maker for OSI, now that India plans to install scanners at its airports in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Chertoff has not been shy about exploiting terrorism incidents to his client’s advantage, appearing on television as an expert after the attempted bombing of the Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day 2009 to advise the nation that it should invest in full-body scanners for airports.

Al Gore Lied. . . .Corn Died. . . .
According to foxnews.com:
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore reportedly has had a change of heart on ethanol, telling a conference on green energy in Europe that he only supported tax breaks for the alternative fuel to pander to farmers in his home state of Tennessee and the first-in-the-nation caucuses state of Iowa.
Speaking at a green energy business conference in Athens sponsored by Marfin Popular Bank, Gore said the lobbyists have wrongly kept alive the program he once touted.
"It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for first-generation ethanol," Reuters quoted Gore saying of the U.S. policy that is about to come up for congressional review. "First-generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small.
"One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president," the wire service reported Gore saying.
Credits for corn ethanol subsidies expire at the end of the year unless Congress moves to renew the $7.7 billion annual program. Opponents of the corn subsidies say that it removes valuable food products from the table because the U.S. ethanol industry drives up the price of corn.
Reuters reported that Gore attributed a variety of factors to the food pricing crisis that has emerged, but that biofuels definitely have had an effect.
"The size, the percentage of corn particularly, which is now being (used for) first-generation ethanol definitely has an impact on food prices," he said. "The competition with food prices is real."
Ethanol production this year will reportedly consume 41 percent of the U.S. corn crop and 15 percent of the global corn crop. Last month, the Agriculture Department said corn crop production would fall this year and attributed the decline to the increase in the price of corn.
More than half of all corn production in the U.S. goes to feeding livestock. On Monday, Agrinet news reported that the USDA's world outlook board has found that the quality of corn production, despite the lower production level, had improved livestock weights, making beef, pork and chicken healthier and therefore able to feed more people. . . . .
--------------------------------------
What a bast*rd. . . .Al Gore has finally admitted that he lied about "Ethanol" just to get votes. . . .Corn prices skyrocketed which increased the cost of food that you put on the table, and this scam has been subsidized by you the US Taxpayer for more than $37 BILLION dollars. . . .Just more proof that global warming is a hoax. . . .Just follow the money. . . .and the votes. . . .
Does any politician look out for the best interest of Americans anymore. . . .This is exactly why so many our representatives in congress leave multi-millionaires. . . .

Muslim women to pat themselves down at Airports. . . .WTF?
According to Jack Minor at greeleygazette.com:
. . . .It goes on to make special recommendations for Muslim women wearing a hijab covering their face. The advisory says women are to inform the officer they are only to pat down the head and neck and says “They should not subject you to a full-body or partial body pat-down.” They also recommend that women should be permitted to pat themselves down and “have the officers perform a chemical swipe of your hands.”
------------------------------------------
The director of homeland security Janet Napolitano is considering allowing muslim women to pat themselves down at Airports. . . .WTF? If muslim women are allowed to opt out of the intrusive body scans or have only their head and neck patted-down I can guarantee you when I show up at the airport I will be in a head-to-toe burka. . . .

Heroic Marine Attacked at Welcome Home Party. . . .
Acccording to Meredith Jessup at theblaze.com:
Lance Cpl. Marcus Uribe recently returned from his tour of duty unscathed after months of fighting in Afghanistan. But just three weeks later, it would be an incident on U.S. soil that threatened the young Marine’s life.
Uribe, a 21-year-old Colorado native, was attending a welcome home party in Surfside Beach, Texas, when police say some uninvited guests arrived and stirred up a confrontation. According to news reports, one man aimed his pickup truck at a crowd of partygoers and stepped on the gas. Uribe bravely reacted, pushing a bystander out of the way.
“Once he did that he fell, and that’s when the truck had already hit the first three people and then ran over the top of Marcus,” Uribe’s dad says.
After the dust settled, emergency crews found Uribe with a fractured skull, being cradled by the man he pushed from the truck’s path. “He saved my life,” the man told them.
Uribe was transferred home to an Englewood, Colo., hospital Thursday, a health center that specializes in dealing with head and spinal cord injuries. According to his family, his condition is stable; he’s a bit shaky on his feet and his speech has slowed, but they are hopeful for a full recovery.
Prior to his career in the Marine Corps, Uribe attended Columbine High School where he played football. He enlisted in the armed forces immediately following his high school graduation.
“I think when he joined the Marines he found that same brotherhood he had when he played on the Columbine football team,” his father Jeff told CBS4.
The suspect in the incident is being held on several charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
One blogger wrote:
I‘m honestly surprised the driver wasn’t dragged outta the truck and pummeled by the rest of the crowd. The headline should’ve read, Marine survives, driver, not so lucky…

14 States Move to Deny ‘Anchor Babies’ Citizenship. . . .
According to the blaze.com:
PHOENIX (AP) — Lawmakers in at least 14 states are collaborating on proposed legislation to deny U.S. citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, according to lawmakers, including the sponsor of Arizona’s 2010 law targeting illegal immigration.
“We’re taking a leadership role on things that need to be fixed in America. We can’t get Congress to do it,” Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, of Mesa, said Tuesday. “It’s a national work group so that we have model legislation that we know will be successful, that meets the constitutional criteria.”
The efforts by the state legislators come amid calls to change the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which grants automatic citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Supporters cite costs to taxpayers for services provided to illegal immigrants and their children.
Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, the founder of a national group of legislators critical of illegal immigration, said the 14th Amendment “greatly incentives foreign invaders to violate our border and our laws.” He had a news conference Tuesday in Harrisburg, Pa., on the multistate endeavor.
The effort could run afoul of the language in the 14th Amendment and lead to a court battle over the constitutionality of the law. But Metcalfe said providing birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants is an “ongoing distortion and twisting” of the amendment.

Obama selectively quotes Honest Abe. . . .
According to Meredith Jessup at theblaze.com:
Obama recently tried to invoke the Republican spirit of America’s 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, in an attempt to woo Ohio voters. However, his interpretation hardly seems to accurately convey Lincoln’s thoughts in context. Via Hands Off Texas:
On Wednesday during a speech in Parma, Ohio, President Obama decided to quote a former President to help justify his policy initiatives:
“But in the words of the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, I also believe that government should do for the people what they cannot do better for themselves”.
I assume he was paraphrasing this actual quote from President Lincoln, but unfortunately he left out the most important part:
“The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.”

Baby Dead after Mom Tosses Infant into Washing Machine. . . .
According to Jaime Uribarri at nydailynews.com:
An Oklahoma woman has been charged with felony child neglect after her 10-day-old baby was killed in a washing machine.
Lyndsey Fiddler, 26, was high on drugs when she put her newborn daughter, Maggie May Trammel, in the washing machine along with the dirty laundry and started a washing cycle, local station NewsOn6 reported.
The baby’s great aunt, Rhonda Coshatt, was also in the house at the time and realized something was wrong when she saw Fiddler passed out and unresponsive on a chair with the child nowhere to be found.
After hearing a clunking noise coming from the washer, she opened the lid and found the dead infant.
Fiddler, who is being held on $100,000 bail, tested positive for a variety of drugs, including methamphetamine, amphetamines, benzodiazepine and opiates.
Under questioning, she told police that she wrapped her daughter in a blanket and gave her a pacifier, but was unable to remember how the baby ended up in the washing machine and went through an entire washing cycle.
-------------------------------------
This is one of the most horrifying stories of this decade. . .Death would be too good for this evil bit*ch. . . .RIP Baby Maggie. . . .
