Scenes From Cuba Michael Moore Doesn't Want You To See. . . .
By: RUSS SPENCER/myfoxatlanta
ATLANTA - Governor Perdue was back in Georgia Wednesday after a two-day trip to Cuba. The aim of the trip was to lay the groundwork to expand Georgia exports to the communist nation, where the government makes all the buying decisions.
Georgia farmers and agribusiness leaders got a chance to see one of the markets where their products might end up and they were stunned by what they saw.
Phil Green, the CEO of Visions Telecom, went on the trip and he said his communist counterpart led him to believe the Cuban government isn't interested in widespread access to the internet, and like China, wants to control access to information.

Michael Moore and his liberal buddies can sugarcoat and tie a big bow around communism and their support for the Castro brothers, but the people of Cuba are suffering.

Mission to Cuba: Time Warp
Mission to Cuba: Time Warp
By: MYFOXATLANTA STAFF/myfoxatlanta
ATLANTA - When Governor Perdue and Georgia business leaders arrived in Cuba this week, they were looking forward to expanding future exports to the communist island.
The delegation also got a look back.
Those who traveled with the Georgia governor got a first-hand look at how communist economic stagnation and the U.S. trade embargo have left Cuba in something of a time warp.

Hawaii elections clerk: Obama not born here. . . .
Hawaii elections clerk: Obama not born here
Official who oversaw ballots in 2008 race says hospital birth certificate non-existent
According to Joe Kovacs at worldnetdaily.com:
A college instructor who worked as a senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2008 is making the stunning claim Barack Obama was definitely not born in Hawaii as the White House maintains, and that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not even exist in the Aloha State.
Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, now teaches English at Western Kentucky University.
"There is no birth certificate," said Tim Adams, a graduate assistant who teaches English at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky. "It's like an open secret. There isn't one. Everyone in the government there knows this."
Adams, who says he's a Hillary Clinton supporter who ended up voting for John McCain when Clinton lost the Democratic nomination to Obama, told WND, "I managed the absentee-ballot office. It was my job to verify the voters' identity."
He says during the 2008 campaign when the issue of Obama's constitutional eligibility first arose, the elections office was inundated with requests to verify the birthplace of the U.S. senator from Illinois.
The hottest book in America is the one that exposes the real Obama and all his men (and women)! Get your autographed copy only from WND!
"I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]."
At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children across town. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities.
"They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth."
To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation that Obama was born at its facility.
--------------------------------------
Can you imagine after Obama being in office a couple of years and destroying our great nation we find out that he wasn't constitutionally allowed to be there in the first place.

Disclaimer warns about contents of the Constitution. . . .WTF?
According to Abby Eden at 2.ketknbc.com:
TYLER - A publishing company reportedly puts a disclaimer on the U.S. Constitution warning people that what they're about to read comes from a different time period.
According to reports, this disclaimer also showed up on the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of the Confederation, Common Sense, and more historical documents.
The disclaimer was placed on copies of these documents published by Wilder Publications.
The warning says, "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values it would if it were written today."
It goes on to say parents should discuss the issues with their children of ethnicity, gender, and so on before the kids read these historical works.

Stalin Bust at D-Day Memorial. . . .WTF?
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
Great news for fans of genocidal communist dictator Joseph Stalin: despite the tens of millions killed by his satanic regime, his bust was in place at the national D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia in time for the anniversary of the Normandy invasion yesterday.
The sculpture was installed at the memorial Tuesday, said William McIntosh, president of the memorial foundation.
Richard Pumphrey, a Lynchburg College professor and artist, finished the piece last year. The bust of the reviled Soviet dictator is part of a series of Allied world leaders who united against Hitler's Germany.
At the beginning of the war, Stalin was Hitler's ally. Why wouldn't he be? Their ideologies were quite similar. The two agreed to carve up Poland between them. But then Hitler betrayed him, forcing Stalin into the anti-Nazi camp.
No doubt your grandchildren will grow up thinking that FDR's "Uncle Joe" was a swell guy for providing free healthcare for anybody obedient enough not to get shipped off to a gulag. The lies his fellow travelers published praising his regime even as he deliberately starved whole regions of the country will once again be accepted as truth. No wonder the execrable New York Times won't give back the Pulitzer Prize (PDF) awarded to Walter Duranty for hushing up the Holodomor.
But maybe the presence of the bust isn't a small step in the rehabilitation of Soviet communism. Maybe they just wanted to honor all the Russian troops who took part in D-Day.
--------------------------------------
Joseph Stalin quotes:
“Death solves all problems - no man, no problem.”
“A single death is a tragedy, are million deaths is a statistic.”
“When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope”
“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.”
Ice to be Nice? WTF?

ICE to make detention centers more humane
According to Susan Carroll at chron.com:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are preparing to roll out a series of changes at several privately owned immigration detention centers, including relaxing some security measures for low-risk detainees and offering art classes, bingo and continental breakfast on the weekends.
The changes, detailed in an internal ICE e-mail obtained by the Houston Chronicle, were welcomed by immigrant advocates who have been waiting for the Obama administration to deliver on a promise made in August to overhaul the nation's immigration detention system.
The 28 changes identified in the e-mail range from the superficial to the substantive. In addition to “softening the look of the facility” with hanging plants and offering fresh carrot sticks, ICE will allow for the “free movement” of low-risk detainees, expand visiting hours and provide unmonitored phone lines.
ICE officials said the changes are part of broader efforts to make the immigration detention system less penal and more humane.
But the plans are prompting protests by ICE's union leaders, who say they will jeopardize the safety of agents, guards and detainees and increase the bottom line for taxpayers. Tre Rebstock, president for Local 3332, the ICE union in Houston, likened the changes to creating “an all-inclusive resort” for immigration detainees.
“Our biggest concern is that someone is going to get hurt,” he said, taking particular issue with plans to relax restrictions on the movement of low-risk detainees and efforts to reduce and eliminate pat-down searches.
The changes outlined in the ICE e-mail are planned for nine detention centers owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America, including the 900-bed Houston Contract Detention Facility on the city's north side.
Some of the changes will be implemented within 30 days; others may take up to six months, said Beth Gibson, ICE's senior counselor to Assistant Secretary John Morton and a leader of the detention reform effort.
Other major changes include:
• Eliminating lockdowns and lights-out for low-risk detainees.
• Allowing visitors to stay as long as they like in a 12-hour period.
• Providing a unit manger so detainees have someone to report problems to other than the guard.
• Allowing low-risk detainees to wear their own clothing or other non-penal attire.
• Providing e-mail access and Internet-based free phone service.
Not about punishment
Gibson said the improvements are part of ICE's efforts to detain immigrants in the least restrictive manner possible while ensuring they leave the country if ordered to do so.
“When people come to our custody, we're detaining them to effect their removal,” Gibson said. “It's about deportation. It's not about punishing people for a crime they committed.”
ICE officials have faced pressure from immigrant advocates and some members of Congress to improve the detention conditions for the roughly 400,000 immigrants it houses annually. The agency has relied on a hodgepodge of more than 250 government-run detention centers, private prisons and local jails to accommodate its growing population — with roughly one in four detainees held in Texas.
At the CCA facilities that have agreed to ICE's changes, detainees will see more variety in their dining hall menus and have self-serve beverage and fresh vegetable bars.
CCA also plans to offer movie nights, bingo, arts and crafts, dance and cooking classes, tutoring and computer training, the e-mail states.
Detainees also will be allowed four hours or more of recreation “in a natural setting, allowing for robust aerobic exercise.”
CCA also committed to improving the look of the facilities, such as requiring plants, fresh paint and new bedding in lower-risk units.
Advocates pleased
Some of the improvements offered at the CCA facilities counted as hard-fought victories for immigrant advocates, including plans to improve visitor and attorney access.
“A lot of these measures are what we've been advocating for,” said Lory Rosenberg, policy and advocacy director for Refugee and Migrants' Rights for Amnesty International.
“Many of these points are very important to changing the system from a penal system, which is inappropriate in an immigration context, to a civil detention system.”
Union members said they have concerns about the plans, primarily focusing on safety.
Rebstocksaid some detainees may be classified as low-risk because they have no serious criminal history but still may be gang members that “haven't been caught doing anything wrong yet.”
He also said eliminating lockdowns will make it more difficult to protect detainees from one another.
He said reducing or eliminating pat-down searches could allow contraband into the facilities, including weapons.
Gibson, with ICE, said the agency is developing a sophisticated classification system and will make sure “that our detainees are still safe and sound.”
“As a general matter, it will be the non-criminals who don't present a danger to anyone else who are benefitting from the lowest level of custody,” Gibson said.
‘On the taxpayers' dime'
Rebstock also questioned the cost to taxpayers for the changes.
“My grandparents would have loved to have bingo night and a dance class at the retirement home they were in when they passed away, but that was something we would have had to pay for,” he said. “And yet these guys are getting it on the taxpayers' dime.”
Gibson said CCA is making the improvements at no additional cost to ICE. The agency's contract with CCA for the Houston detention center requires that ICE pay $99 per bed daily for each detainee, slightly lower than the $102 average daily rate ICE pays nationally .
Rosenberg said some of the changes, like new flower baskets, may seem small, but they will combine with the bigger changes to make a difference in the daily lives of detainees.
“Taken together they will go some way to making this system less penal,” she said.

Barack Obama announces $400m aid package to Gaza. . . .
According to Greg Pollowitz at nationalreview.com:
The United States will contribute $400 million in development aid to the Palestinian territories and work with Israel to loosen its embargo on Gaza, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.
Obama’s announcement came after White House talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The money will be used to build housing, schools, water and health care systems in both the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank and Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.
Obama called the situation in Gaza “unsustainable,” and said the United States would work with its European allies, Egypt and Israel to find a “new conceptual framework” for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
“We agree Israelis have right to prevent arms from coming into Gaza,” Obama said. But he said “new mechanisms” were needed to allow more goods to reach the territory – and he repeated that the long-term solution was a permanent deal creating “a Palestinian state side-by-side with an Israel that is secure.”
. . . We’re borrowing another $400 million from China to aid terrorists? — GP
----------------------------------
I guess the only ASS that Obama really wants to kick is Israels. I believe he wants to see Israel destroyed. America has a right to stop any ship approaching our harbors and so does Israel. When will these Jew-haters finally learn that Israel will not tolerate anyone that is supplying the Palestinian terrorists?
Don't we have a 9.7% unemployment rate and enough needy people at home than to give $400 million dollars to promote terrorism. It's kind of like before WWII we sold all our scrap metal to Japan. . . .Then they turned around and used it to make bombs and airplanes to kill Americans. This money will be used by these terrorist thugs to destroy Israel and America will have the blood of Israel on our hands.

Has Comrade Obama Ever Kicked Anybody's Ass?
According to Van Helsing at moonbattery.com:
The country is still sniggering because the other day Comrade Obama took absurd moonbat racialist Spike Lee's advice to "go off" by proclaiming that he was going to kick somebody's ass over the Gulf oil spill. This did more than make it official that our first Affirmative Action presidency is a farcical black comedy at the expense of liberalism; it also brought up the question asked by Howie Carr and answered definitively by his listeners:
No doubt Obama's packagers are now debating the merits of inviting Dennis Kucinich over to the White House to prove that yes, our metrosexual Manchurian Moonbat can so kick somebody's ass.

Don't Blame Others. . . .WTF?
According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com:
Chairman Zero dropped by Kalamazoo Central High School yesterday to deliver a graduation address. You might wonder if the young skulls full of mush were dazzled by his Teleprompter Reading skills, and his ability to repeat strong action phrases like "Let me be clear," "The time for talk is over!" and "I'm gonna kick your ass!"
Not so much, really. (one kid kept dozing off watching our teleprompter-in-chief) :) :)
The president advised the Class of '10 not to "make excuses. Take responsibility not just for your successes, but for your failures as well. When you screw up...it's the easiest thing in the world to start looking around for someone to blame. We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV."
No. No way did the guy who blames all of his problems on the previous administration and FoxNews just say that. Nobody could possibly be that obtuse, could they?

IN AMERICA, BROWN IS THE NEW BLACK. . . .
(Long article but worth the read)
According to angrywhitedude.com:
The massive influx of illegal aliens over the past decade is changing America. Especially in large city school districts. Today’s Dallas Morning News ran a report about “black flight” from the Dallas Independent School District namely because of the growth of Hispanic students over the past few years. Many black parents simply don’t want their children going to school with poor Hispanics, many of whom are illegal aliens…excuse me, undocumented students. The article reports:
Today, about 41,000 black students attend DISD schools. They make up 26 percent of the district compared with 106,000 Hispanic children, or 68 percent. White students are 5 percent of the district.
The number of black children attending DISD schools has reached its lowest point since 1965. The movement mirrors, on a smaller scale, massive white flight from the district in the 1970s.
Black students formed a majority in Dallas schools through the 1980s and ’90s. Over the last 10 years, though, the number of black children has fallen by nearly 20,000, or about a third. Meanwhile, Hispanic children have filled their seats as the district’s overall enrollment remains fairly flat at about 157,000.
Isn’t it interesting that blacks parents are doing exactly what they criticized whites for doing in the 70’s when forced integration destroyed the school systems across the country. White flight was, of course, racist. Blacks running from Hispanics is a desire for a better education for their children. A black grandparent whose granddaughter attends a Charter school said:
“I don’t want my grandkid in that environment where the teachers don’t teach and the kids wear saggy pants. You don’t see that at the charter school.”
Exactly! So maybe now blacks can understand why whites moved in droves to the suburbs and refused to let their children attend large city public schools. How would anyone like their white child to be one of the 5% in the Dallas Public Schools? They have a name for those white kids in the DISD…..victims! The reasons listed by black parents for leaving DISD were:
•The perception (that is correct) that Dallas ISD schools offer an inferior education compared with suburban schools, and that the school system is too big and impersonal.
•As Dallas ISD educates a growing number of Hispanic students, many of whom are poor and learning English, some black parents say the district no longer focuses on their children. (teaches less Malcolm X, more Cesar Chavez)
•The desire of middle-class blacks to live in bigger, newer, more comfortable homes in the suburbs, away from big-city crime and congestion.
•A growing number of charter schools, which are public schools run by private groups.
•Many of Dallas’ traditionally black neighborhoods are aging, and young Hispanic families are moving in to replace them and having children.
Blacks are now reaping what they have sewn. While they were the focus of the politically correct educational system and politicians, they had no problem with their children disrupting classes and lowering the quality of the white schools they were bused into. It was racism for whites to complain or move to the suburbs. Now blacks see that they are no longer the concern. School systems, run by Democrat unions, see Hispanics as the meal ticket in the future. Subsidies, school lunch programs, ESL, and at the end of the amnesty road…millions of votes for Democrats!
This is a perfect example why blacks should be against illegal immigration. Hispanics don’t like blacks and vice versa. They are both very racist communities. When they work together against whitey, blacks and Hispanics have a serendipitous relationship. But the fact remains that Hispanics are beginning to muscle out blacks in welfare, social programs and attention from politicians. Plus, most illegal alien females drop a new US citizen ever 9 months and 1 day so their population will continue to swell.
So how’s that diversity working out for you black America? It’s working out pretty well for illegal aliens! The percentage of DISD students labeled “economically disadvantaged,” meaning they qualify for free or reduced-price school meals, has increased from 73 percent in 2000 to 87 percent this year. Here’s something you may not realize…but you probably do if you’re a dude or dudette….there are no free lunches! Taxpayers pay for those “free lunches” for little Juan and Maria, who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
I have called for the total destruction of the Department of (non) Education. It is a scam and a money pit. Anything our federal government touches turns to dog sh*t. School superintendents and administrators are a corrupt as politicians. There is little wonder why American children are falling behind the rest of the world in education. It is because of the corrupt people running the corrupt education system.
I don’t blame black parents for choosing to move to get a better education for their children. But they should teach their children that the schools in the suburbs are not like the Dallas schools. They actually teach and the students learn. So look for more black students at your kid’s school next year. Just remind them to pull up their pants!

Oh how I remember when DISD integrated the schools back in the 70's. There were riots and all kind of chaos. You'd be walking down the hall and all of a sudden all hell would break loose. What a difference 30 years makes. . . .We were considered racist and now that the shoe is on the other foot "Blacks running from Hispanics is a desire for a better education for their children".
In Mesquite, TX where my kids went to school they have started busing kids in from surrounding low-income areas and the schools are becoming like war zones. The sad thing is if you already have moved to the suburbs where can you go now?
According to angrywhitedude.com:
The massive influx of illegal aliens over the past decade is changing America. Especially in large city school districts. Today’s Dallas Morning News ran a report about “black flight” from the Dallas Independent School District namely because of the growth of Hispanic students over the past few years. Many black parents simply don’t want their children going to school with poor Hispanics, many of whom are illegal aliens…excuse me, undocumented students. The article reports:

Ding Dong the Witch is GONE ! ! ! !
Helen Thomas your anti-semitic words have come home to roost. . . . .We are sick of looking at you sitting on the front row in the White House briefing room and asking Presidents stupid questions for the last several decades. . . . .Good riddance. . . .

When does 2 + 2 = 5 ?
According to Carl Campanile and Susan Edelman at the nypost.com:
When does 2 + 2 = 5 ?
When you’re taking the state math test.
Despite promises that the exams — which determine whether students advance to the next grade — would not be dumbed down this year, students got “partial credit” for wrong answers after failing to correctly add, subtract, multiply and divide. Some got credit for no answer at all.
“They were giving credit for blatantly wrong things,” said an outraged Brooklyn teacher who was among those hired to score the fourth-grade test.
State education officials had vowed to “strengthen” and “increase the rigor” of both the questions and the scoring when about 1.2 million kids in grades 3 to 8 — including 450,000 in New York City — took English exams in April and math exams last month.
But scoring guides obtained by The Post reveal that kids get half-credit or more for showing fragments of work related to the problem — even if they screw up the calculations or leave the answer blank.
Examples in the fourth-grade scoring guide include:
* A kid who answers that a 2-foot-long skateboard is 48 inches long gets half-credit for adding 24 and 24 instead of the correct 12 plus 12.
* A miscalculation that 28 divided by 14 equals 4 instead of 2 is “partially correct” if the student uses the right method to verify the wrong answer.
* Setting up a division problem to find one-fifth of $400, but not solving the problem — and leaving the answer blank — gets half-credit.
State Education Department spokesman Tom Dunn defended the scoring.
"All teachers who score exams receive clear training and rubrics that detail scoring criteria for every question on the tests," he said. "Students who show work and demonstrate a partial understanding of the mathematical concepts or procedures embodied in the question receive partial credit."
But a few extra points can let a failing kid squeak by.
A year ago, Chancellor Joel Klein boasted that the city was making "dramatic progress" when 82 percent of city students passed the state math test and 69 percent passed in English, up sharply from 2002. And fewer kids have been left back in recent years.
What officials didn't reveal was that the number of points needed to pass proficiency levels has, in most cases, steadily dropped.
