When as President of the United States, he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he traveled around the world criticizing America and never once spoke with pride of her greatness ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When his actions concerning the Middle-East seemed to support the Palestinians over Israel, our long time ally ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he took American tax dollars to resettle thousands of Palestinians from Gaza to the United States ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he upset the Europeans by removing plans for a missile defense system against the Russians ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he played politics in Afghanistan by not sending troops early-on when the Field Commanders said they were necessary to win ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he started spending us into a debt that was so big we could not pay it off ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he took a huge spending bill under the guise of stimulus and used it to pay off organizations, unions, and individuals that got him elected, ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he took over insurance companies, car companies, banks, etc. ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he took away student loans from the banks and put it through the government ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he designed plans to take over the health care system and put it under government control ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he claimed he was a Christian during the election and tapes were later made public that showed Obama speaking to a Muslim group and 'stating' that he was raised a Muslim; was educated as a Muslim; and that he is still a Muslim  ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade (tax) ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people finally woke up ... but it was too late.

 

Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.

 

All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?

 

If you are an Obama Supporter don't be angry with me because I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a socialist. Far too many facts support he is indeed a Socialist. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE . Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran: our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.

 

Question.... will you delete this, or pass it on to others who don't know about O'bama "s actions and plans for the America, so that they may know how to vote in November, and the ensuing years?

It's your decision.

 

IT DOES MATTER!

Monkies and Congress

district50ablog.blogspot.com


Another great offering by a regular contributor Gman. I don't know where he gets these jewels, But I am going to have a talk with soon.
Enjoy

Monkeys         

 

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

Why not?

Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around here.

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Congress operates.... .
We need to REPLACE all the original monkeys this November.

It's the economy stupid-And he is still childishly blaming Bush.

district50ablog.blogspot.com

Another wonderful email sent to me by the Gman. I don't know where he find them, but this is another jewel. Thanks.

A worthwhile reminder …

The Washington Post babbled about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough,...... A lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson.    
 
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
 
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.
 
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:    

 

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
 
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
 
  
Note that our country had a very tough time dealing with the 9/11 attack.  It sent the economy into a tailspin and caused us to spend many billions on domestic security, etc.  Much of that government spending post 9/11 was stimulus to get the economy working again and to get things back to normal. The magnitude of the psychological shock caused by that very first enemy attack on our mainland needs to be remembered. We never heard Bush blame the attack on Bill Clinton and the laxed domestic security of the Clinton administration.
 
   
There is no way this will be widely publicized, Unless each of us sends it on!
 
This is your chance to make a difference. Then vote 'em all out in November! And don't renig in 2012!

Columbia Heights City Council Candidate Donna Schmitt

district50ablog.blogspot.com

Here is another blog post from Donna Schmitt re: the goings on at the Columbia Heights City Council meetings. She is running for City Council and has definitely put in her dues to get there this fall. And we would all benefit greatly for her responsible and level headed approach. I hope this will continue to be a regular posting here at District 50A blog. She can use your help in more ways then one. E-mail here and volunteer, thank you in advance.

donnaschmitt4citycouncil.com

Donna Schmitt, is running for City Council in Columbia Heights, MN. If you want someone who will watch our backs, I don't think you could find anyone better. Go to her blog for more info on her.

Apparently some of the city staff did not appreciate my letter to the
editor in the Sun Focus on July 29, 2010.  They sent me a letter and
copy of an in-house memo trying to say that I wasn't giving out the
whole "truth of the interest expense."

Here is part of my response:

On complaint from the city of my rounding up $961,392 and saying that it was 'almost a million""

On page 19 of the 2009 report it listed interest on long-term debt
for 2009 at $961,392.  Anything over $950,000 is almost a million in my
eyes and many other people.  I have sat through many city council
meetings where numbers are rounded up or down by the presenter.  This is
an accepted practice.  Of course, this is not an accepted practice if
you are the accountant.

On the city's response being that property taxes only raised about $17 per person:

To say that this only resulted in a $17 per person increase is
another interesting perspective.  The 2000 census data from the city’s
website show that we have 18,520 residents.  Multiply 18,520 X $17 =
$314,840.  Yet your letter stated that the figure was actually $314,000,
which means you are also rounding a per cost estimate.  The other part
of that $17 that isn’t being presented is that of the 18,520 people that
live in this city, not all of them are paying property tax.  I do not
know of any household in the city where their city portion of their property taxes only went up $17 or even just $16.96.

On the comment in the memo that the citizens could have petitioned to stop the building of the public safety building:

The point is not that these projects were ‘bad’ ideas.  I don’t know
of many people that would deny that we needed more space for the police
and fire.  Though I have heard over and over from citizens in reference
to the new building, yes, we needed it, but we didn't need a Taj Mahol. 
The point is that we cannot sustain this rate of increase of spending
into the future.  I think that was made very clear in my article.  What
my article did not say, for lack of space, was that a new city hall, a
new public library, walking paths in our parks are all wonderful things
but at this time we cannot continue borrowing money at this rate and
especially borrowing money to meet our basic needs.   There will have to
be more cuts.

On the city's claim that 55% of the long-term interest and debt is paid for funding  received from other jurisdictions:

Your point that “55% of the principal and interest on long-term debt
for tax increment projects is paid with funding received from other
jurisdictions” is a good point.  But I also look at that in this
perspective:  If your son or daughter took out a loan for $10,000 to buy
a used car and you, as their parent, co-signed, you are ultimately
responsible for that loan.  The City of Columbia Heights is kind of like
that.  We have been promised all of this money for projects from
outside sources.  But we cosigned that loan and if those outside sources
default on their portion of the loan we are ultimately responsible for
the full amount.

The second part of that is all those other jurisdictions are just
another tax that has been paid in another way to our county, state and
federal government.  So we are still paying.

As a city we could go bankrupt.  Even if we don’t, if a city around
us goes bankrupt it will destroy the reputation of the surrounding area,
ultimately hurting our credit rating.  That is a very real possibility,
whether it is Hilltop or Minneapolis that defaults on their loans, we
would be effected.

Concerned about spending:

Am I concerned about spending?  Yes!  Can we continue to see the same
rate of increase of borrowed money over the next four years?  No!  The
next four years are not going to be fun years with lots of fun projects
coming forward.  If we can just maintain city services without going
into bankruptcy we will be accomplishing a lot.  When things start to
look up, that is when we can look at adding new projects, but not now. 
Now is when we need to pay our bills and get back to a common sense
budget.

Donna Schmitt - Candidate for Columbia Heights City Council

Here is my latest blog.  http://donnaschmitt4citycouncil.com

ENJOY!

Donna Schmitt

Candidate for Columbia Heights City Council


For a couple of years the City of Columbia Heights has been purchasing older homes, paying to have them demolished, and then sitting on the vacant property in anticipation of selling that property when values have gone back up.  Many times the cost for these purchases and demolition ends up costing the city around $50,000 to $60,000.  The idea is to remove from sales homes that are hazardous to live in.

The concept is commendable but maybe it is not necessarily the best one.  Some of the problems are:  1) You have now eliminated that property from the tax rolls so less income for the city. 2) Now this property is becoming a debt to the city because it has to be maintained on a seasonal basis.  3) These properties that have been taken off the tax rolls mean the rest of us will have our property taxes go up because the city's budget has not decreased.

I proposed another plan at the city council meeting on Monday night.  Why not take that $50,000 to $60,000 and offer a $10,000 to $20,000 grant to a purchaser to rehab that home.  That way you keep the home on the tax rolls, the home is fixed up to current code and it helps the neighbors by upgrading the home's value.  By offering up to a $20,000 grant you take that same $50-$60 thousand dollars and have fixed up 3-6 homes rather than torn down a single home.  You also are allowing a family a way to purchase an affordable home and yet providing a way to make sure it is a 'safe' home.

There could be several stipulations on that grant.  You could make sure that the rehab is done in a timely manner.  One way to do this is to decrease the grant if the rehab is not completed within 4-6 months.  You can also offer a larger incentive if this is an owner rehab vs. a property flip.   But I would also recommend a smaller grant, possibly $10,000 offered to someone that rehabs a home and sells it to someone else just because it still is accomplishing the same purpose, refurbishing homes and making the safe for families.  This also could be offered to groups such as Habitat to help them with projects in the city.

With a $10,000 to $20,000 grant the purchaser could even pay to have that home demolished and build a new home on that property.  But the difference is that all of this is done while still providing property tax income to the city and eliminates the need for the city to maintain that property over the years.

For anyone that has watched DIY, HGTV or faithfully watched 'This Old House' over the years you know that anything can be rehabbed.  To say that a house is not fixable is not being realistic.  Can anyone fix up a home?  No!  Are there times you need to call in an expert?  Yes!  With this type of grant you are providing more incentive for the purchaser to get it done quickly and getting that home back into a livable condition, and keeping it on the tax rolls.  It is a win-win situation for the city and for the purchaser.

There are other home improvement programs offered but all of these have limited funds and are usually grabbed up quickly.  This would be a great idea to sell to realtors and get them to help market this idea in our city.  This would be just another incentive and would work especially for those homes that are in foreclosure.

This is the time for the city to re-evaluate it's demolition goals.   The City of Columbia Heights has set aside funds for demolition over the next couple of years.   We need to make sure that we are getting the best value for our dollar and a home improvement incentive grant could be what we need to improve our home values rather than what is currently in place.

In Defense of Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary by Tim Utz

News, June 25, 2010
In Defense of Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary:
I must clarify my political, philosophical, and party affiliations that
differ from Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary. I am not endorsing nor am I
providing any political favor toward Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary. My
intention is to work with Senator Gina Bauman in 2011 after her victory
against Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary on November 2, 2010.

In the last days of the 2009 Minnesota State Legislature and the subsequent
weeks, Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary found himself embroiled in the
"amendment gate" scandal in St. Paul. It appears that Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary placed a last minute amendment to the omnibus DNR bill that had a
direct impact on waterfront property that Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary owns
in northern Minnesota. As a result of this attempt, DFL leaders in Senate
District 50 held a town hall type of meeting with Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary; a senate ethics committee held a meeting in St. Paul with Senator
Satveer S. Chaudhary; and the DFL party has considered rescinding Senator
Satveer S. Chaudhary endorsement. To top off the attacks, Barb Goodwin, a
local political activist, decided on the last day to file in the 2010
elections to run for Senate District 50 against Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary. An August primary runoff is now scheduled.

The defense I make is not for our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary's actions in
St. Paul, nor is it that I agree with Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary's
unconstitutional action of submitting an unrelated amendment in committee or
on the House floor. The defense is how extremely rampant this
unconstitutional submission to a bill is at the Capitol. The action to
subvert the constitutional process of review by committees or submitting an
unrelated amendment is commonplace and practiced by both Democrats and
Republicans in the Legislature. Over the years I have personally seen this
practice on the House Floor while in the gallery. Our State Constitution
provides no right of personal privilege of representatives to submit
amendments to unrelated bills. No personal privilege exists in the
legislative process.
The current issue that our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary is experiencing is
only a small portion of the problems in St. Paul. The leadership in St. Paul
needs wholesale replacement across the board in 2010. "We the People" do
have the power to return government to Constitutional limits on November 2,
2010; the question is "have you had enough yet" to want Constitutional
governance.

Yes, our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary did make poor choices to target
specific property he owns for personal benefit. The solution is
understanding every legislative bill introduced (3,864 in the last biennium)
impacts every member of the Legislature and citizen in Minnesota. Every bill
should stand alone as mandated in our State Constitution, travel the
regulated review process through committees, and be openly voted on the
House Floor by each representative, not voting for others, but making their
own vote up or down. Law and personal security can only prosper when elected
officials follow our constitutional process as I vow to do when elected to
St. Paul in November 2010.

Message from Second Amendment Foundation

district50ablog.blogspot.com
Passed on from Second Amendment Foundation

Dear Friend,

Liberal, Washington state politicians keep trying to restrict our gun rights. And no matter how often they fail, these nanny state politicians keep looking for ways to restrict our freedom. Fortunately, we have a protector.

Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders is a fiercely dedicated, unwavering protector of our constitutional liberties. He has stood up for our rights – all of our rights – for the past fifteen years on the Court. This was no surprise.

Before Justice Sanders’ election to the court he was the lawyer for the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee to Keep and Bear Arms.

Take a moment now to contribute to Justice Sanders re-election campaign, to protect a true Second Amendment champion.

Sanders authored a landmark decision just this past February affirming that the Second Amendment applies to individual states.

Sanders wrote, "Gun ownership is an inexorable birthright of American tradition. Americans who participated in the Revolution of 1776 and adopted the Bill of Rights held the individual right to have and use arms against tyranny to be fundamental.” State v. Sieyes, 225 P.3d 995 (2010)

 Our gun rights are fundamental! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Of course this isn’t the only opinion from Justice Sanders on gun rights. You can read more about his gun opinions here.

With views like these, Justice Sanders has drawn strong opposition in this year’s election. His opponent is an attorney who was appointed to the appellate court by Governor Mike Lowry who only lasted a short time before the voters sent him packing.

Yet Sanders’ opponent has accumulated sufficient wealth to literally buy the election.  Sanders – who has been defending us on the Court – has only our contributions.

Your contribution of $300 or $500 or even $100 to Friends of Justice Sanders will help assure that a voice for liberty remains on the Supreme Court. We must do everything we can to generously support Justice Sanders’ re-election campaign. The election will be decided in August.

We will not have another chance!  Contribute here.

Sanders’ opponent has been attacking Richard from day one. He has criticized Sanders for being injudicious. He has implied that Justice Sanders vote is for sale to the highest campaign contributor.

Let me be clear: Justice Sanders opponent is running a mud-slinging, dirty campaign attacking Sanders’ personal integrity since he cannot beat him on his philosophy of protecting individual rights.

Now we need to stand by Justice Sanders just as he has stood by our rights for these past fifteen years.

Don’t wait until Mike Lowry’s mud-slinging lawyer puts on the judicial robes and takes away our rights. This is our only chance to keep Justice Sanders on the court, and we must act now!

Make a contribution of for $300 or $500 or even $100 to Friends of Justice Sanders today.

Sincerely,

Alan Gottleib
Founder, Second Amendment Foundation
Chairman, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms


P.S. Your contribution today will help protect our constitutional rights here in Washington state. Please make out a check today to Friends of Justice Richard Sanders or go online to www.friendsofjustice.com

"I'm 63 and I'm Tired"

district50ablog.blogspot.com

Sent to me by the G-Man




I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've  worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.
 
I'm tired of being told  that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too damn lazy to earn it.
 
I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes."  Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the  price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.
 
I'm tired of being told  how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities
America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
 
I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.
 
I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the  Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing  government.
 
I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.
 
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in   America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love, peace and tolerance.
 
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a  three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore 's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.
 
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't know if Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried  marijuana.
 
I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?  Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented  Pharmacists"?  And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most  of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak  English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military..........Those are the citizens we need.
 
I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with  the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian.Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.
 
I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois, where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.
 
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and  two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in1960's or 1970's, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.
 
I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and/or actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But, I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my children, grandchildren,
and, all future generations of legal, hardworking working, honest, tax paying, law abiding American citizens.

I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I
think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally,
made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the
United States of America , as it is a truly wonderful place.  

But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying
to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans!  I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal
and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?
And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you
won't enforce the ones on the books now? 

And what ever happened to the polls, guys?  I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters.  Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday. 

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy.  Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets? 

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit.  But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected.
Shame on you. 
One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you 

Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. 
And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out theUnited States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality. 

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."

And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?" 
I'll tell you what's wrong with it.  These people could be from Mars as far as we know.  We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to. 

Does this make sense?  Labor force you say?  We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well? 
If these people were from  Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ? 
I think not. 

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. 
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did.  They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop. 

I want to make two predictions. 

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre. 

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destructionand set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue. 


I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad  and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out." 
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others?   
And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes  Please get that other one out of my face. 



God Bless America

Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070

Forwarded to me by a friend G-man Thanks again...


I'm Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 which I voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer.
Rancher Rob Krantz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.

The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.

Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.

One man told of two illegal's who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can't leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.

The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border.

Federal prisons have over 35% illegal's and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegal's. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.

The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.

The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop.
The border can be secured. We have the technology we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under.

I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central American or South American countries? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish also. We have already lost our history it is no longer taught in our schools. And we have lost our borders.

The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany . Are you kidding. The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal's from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause like a traffic stop to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote, get a hunting license, etc.. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street etc... The Socialist who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something and that something the Socialist wants us to do is just let them come. They want the "Transformation" to continue.

Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free.
