I love the Clinton vs. Obama Democratic race

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Hillary ClintonWith the victimization mentality of the Democratic party, this should prove to be an interesting campaign. All the political commentary on the MSM is a frequent source of entertainment.  There have been discussions about how the fact that Obama is black might influence his campaign in one way or the other - either from people voting FOR him because he is black  or from people voting AGAINST him because he is black.  There have been some wonderfully revealing soundbites on that particular topic that show just how racist many in the wonderfully “progressive” Democratic party are. 

I don’t recall any discussions in the news about how a person’s being white might affect their chances in an election.

Barack Hussein ObamaThe commentary after the New Hampshire primary was particularly humorous.  First they had to decide if Hillary’s “human” side (i.e. her “I don’t want us to fall back” stage act) made more people vote for her - or was it because when it came right down to it, some people just couldn’t vote for a black person.   Then they ponder whether America is ready for a female president.

Depending on who wins the Democratic nomination, there will be serious charges of either racism or sexism.  It’s a lose-lose situation for the dems, and I think it’s hilarious.  If Hillary is the nominee, the Obama crowd will claim that America is too racist to elect a black president.  If Obama is nominated, the Hillary crowd will claim that America is too sexist to elect a woman president.  And if John Edwards is elected, Obama’s and Hillary’s folks will claim that the nation is both sexist and racist.

I know absolutely no one who gives a rat’s ass whether our president is black, white, male or female.  What people DO care about is what that person will do as president.  Will he/she secure our borders?  Will he/she handle the millions of illegal immigrants fairly but without compromise? Will he/she fight the war against Islamic extremism with courage and honor?  Will he/she work to minimize people’s dependence on government? 

So give it up, folks.  If you lose a primary, or the Democratic nomination, or the presidential election, it will be because your beliefs and actions don’t mesh with the beliefs and actions of the majority of Americans.  Period.  Quit the blame and victim game.

The Democrats’ YouTube Debate - What silliness!

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Last night I gave in to all the pre-debate hype - all the talk about how THIS debate would be so unique and driven by the common people.  So I watched it.  At least for awhile.  Once you’ve heard a politician give his/her talking points, there’s no need to hear it regurgitated again and again. 

CNN screened the questions and selected a few out of hundreds submitted.  So only the questions the powers-that-be at CNN deemed worthwhile were asked.   What a waste of time.  And what a bunch of crap that the slightly varied format was something unique.

My guess is that the candidates probably had at least an idea of what the questions were prior to the “debate.”  But whether or not they did isn’t important.  Nothing new was brought out.  No new questions were asked.  Nothing of substance was learned.  It was just another re-hashing of talking points. 

The one small benefit of the debate is that it clearly showed that Barack Obama has no business whatsoever being president.  He answered that yes, he WOULD meet with the leaders of Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela his first year as president.  YIKES!   I hope people aren’t stupid enough to elect him.

AOL had a recap of the debates and included these quotes that had me shaking my head with incredulity:

“The greatest innovation of this debate is that we’re seeing candidates respond to real voters instead of polished TV personalities,” said Michael Silberman of the online consulting firm EchoDitto. “It’s a win for the candidates who are at their best when addressing voters. It’s a win for democracy, since average Americans outside of the early primary states now have the opportunity to ask direct questions of candidates.”

Incredible!  Not even a minimally rational person could honestly believe that last night’s debate was different in any major way than any other debate by presidential candidates.  The only difference was that people other than news reporters/journalists were the ones that asked the usual questions that enabled the candidates to give their talking points to a national audience.  The average American citizen learned nothing and gained nothing.

Listening to the candidates’ responses reinforced my belief that voting Democratic means voting against what America stands for.  It means voting for punishing people for working hard (via higher taxes - the harder you work and the more successful you are - the higher your percentage of taxes), rewarding people for not working (welfare and subsidies) and rewarding people for breaking the law (assistance to illegal immigrants).  They couch their socialist leanings in very lofty phrasing, but it is still socialism - and socialism has never been successful for any length of time.

Let’s get back to the basic American principles of rewarding and encouraging hard work and self-sufficiency, helping people rise out of poverty and bad circumstances by giving them a hand UP and not a hand-out, and having enough patriotic pride that we insist that anyone who wants to move here follow the legal channels to do so.  All are welcome - just follow the rules to get here. 

Seems simple, but there isn’t a single Democratic candidate that supports those basic tenets of American citizenship. 

And how about standing by your country’s leaders instead of doing everything in your power to bring them down?  Sure, the Dems have the right to disagree and protest and be general asses about the war in Iraq.  No matter that their words and actions result in the deaths of our soldiers or the destroying of our reputation abroad - criticize, lie and generally make it impossible for policies to succeed.   To the dems, as long as their protests put THEM in a good light (in their own minds), it’s okay.   It’s hard for me to respect anyone who believes that the policies of the Democratic party are in line with what America is all about.  It takes someone who is easily swayed by lofty sounding rhetoric.

There’s only one thing to say about last night’s debate:  ZZZZzzzzzzzzz!

Appeasing Away Our Country and Culture

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Yesterday I shared a quote by Sir Winston Churchill:

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last!”

~Sir Winston Churchill~

American is becoming the world’s biggest appeaser.  Heaven forbid that we do or say anything that might possibly make anyone feel uncomfortable or offended.  In our striving to make everyone happy, we aren’t making anyone happy - even ourselves.

It makes me sad - and scared - to see and hear people claiming that anyone who believes that people should follow estabished laws for entering our country are racist, bigoted, and anti-immigration.  Placing negative labels on people is the best way to get attention away from the real issues.  No one wants to be considered racist and bigoted and against the very thing upon which our country was built. 

Even in church I hear people saying “But the illegal immigrants are just poor people coming here for a better life.  How can we deny them the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their families?”  If so, then they should stop crossing the border in the dead of the night and getting ID’s, social security numbers and drivers licenses illegally.  Stop breaking in line - go back and do it legally.  We want you here if you can have the strength of character and perseverance to do it the right way. 

To borrow from a country song, “You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”  We’re falling for just about everything that people are willing to shout loud enough about and make a big enough scene about .  We don’t want to feel “uncomfortable” or be accused of not being “tolerant.”  We’ve reached the point of not being willing to take a stand for anything.  Everything is all right.  We’ll tolerate any and everything.  We don’t have the courage to say that some things are simply WRONG. 

Our country was founded by CHRISTIANS who came here for freedom of religion.  Recognizing our Christian heritage and celebrating it does NOT deny non-Christians their religion.  Rather, denying “In God We Trust” on our currency, in our history books and in our pledge is denying our own history.

Our country is directly threatened by radical Islam.  Fighting Islamic terrorists is honorable and necessary.  Mistakes made by .001% of our soldiers does not negate the wonderfully courageous efforts of 99.999% of them.  Spouting anti-war rhetoric does not negate the fact that our soldiers are dying every day to give U.S. citizens the right to protest and criticize their country and president.

Our country was founded on freedom based on law.  When we reward lawbreakers with privileges not given to law-abiders, we undermine the foundation of our country.

President Bush was fairly elected in both 2000 and 2004.  Certainly 2000 was close, but the law was followed and he was correctly chosen as our president.  To not give him the respect due the leader of the greatest nation on earth is unpatriotic and childish.  You can disagree with people without disrespecting them. President Bush deserves our respect based simply on the fact that he is our duly elected president.  Period.

So we will appease the illegal immigrants, we will appease the radical Muslims, we will appease the left-wing anti-war protestors, we will appease the history revisionists, and eventually we WILL be eaten by the crocodile of appeasement.  That crocodile is already well into his meal of USA a la Appeasement.

Illegal Immigration - A Solution?

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

This could be the solution to the Illegal Immigration issue.  I received this via email today, and as usual when things are forwarded, there’s no telling if it’s true or not.  But whether or not it’s true is irrelevant.  It’s a darn good idea.  What do you think? 

I have a friend who is president of his homeowner’s association in Washington D.C. They are having a terrible problem with trash on the side of the road that is around his association’s homes.The reason according to Wallace (my friend) is, there is being built just next to them, six new homes…..big ones! Wallace said the trash is coming from the Mexican work crews working at the construction sites. (McDonald Bags, Burger King trash, etc). He has pleaded with the site supervisors and the general contractor to no avail, called the City,County, the Police and got no help.

 So………………guess what some people in his community did?  They organized about twenty folks, named themselves The “Inner Neighborhood Services” to go out at lunch time and “police” the trash themselves.

It is what they did while picking up the trash that is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!  They got some navy blue baseball caps and had the initials “INS” in gold put on the caps. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, however, to understand what they hoped people would think it means.

Well the day after their first pick up detail, with them wearing their caps and some carrying cameras; 46 out of 68 of the construction workers did not show up for work the next morning!!!!!!!!….  and haven’t come back yet!!!!! It has been ten days. 

Now the General Contractor, I understand is madder than hell, but can’t say anything publicly, because he could be busted for hiring “illegal aliens”.  Wallace and his bunch can’t be accused of impersonating INS folks, because they have it on their home owner association records the vote to form the new committee within their association, plus they informed the INS about what they were doing in advance, and the INS said basically according to Wallace…………..”Have at it”!

Since I recently had to pick up trash left by nearby Hispanic workers, I could identify with the frustration of the real or imagined homeowners.

Hat tip to RC for a little levity amidst all the uproar about illegal immigrants.

Vinnie at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy also has an idea for solving the illegal immigration problem.

“The world’s greatest fool is the person who waits for his ship to come in when he didn’t send one out.”

Our world is full of these fools - people who expect to receive free what others must toil for: illegal aliens, healthy welfare recipients, to name two.

Freedom Of Speech: Not If You Disagree

Freedom Of Speech: Not If You Disagree

Cross posted from CommonSenseAmerica by Christi S. King

The far left relies on their `right to freedom of speech’ whenever their words (and diatribes) are questioned but it seems that the far left believes they are the only ones entitled to this right.

From WBBM 780-Chicago

Unruly Crowd Shuts Down Immigration Debate

A community forum on immigration ended just about as fast as it began Thursday night in the Logan Square neighborhood when protesters disrupted the event and shouted down the controversial participants.

“No free speech for terrorists!” chanted the demonstrators who crowded inside the Fourth Congregational Church at 2625 N. Tallman Ave., where the event was being held.

WBBM Newsradio 780’s Steve Grzanich reports organizers had barely started the introductions when the noisy protest began.

The demonstrators succeeded in stopping what was supposed to be a debate between advocates of immigration rights and a group called the Illinois Minuteman Project which supports stricter enforcement of U-S immigration laws.

“They have to know that their racist ideas are not going to be tolerated,” said protestor Maria Melquiades of Chicago. “Racism kills. You don’t debate racism,” she said.

“All immigrants are welcomed and Minutemen are not,” said protestor John Eriksen of Chicago. “Where they are, they need to be shouted down because they are racists and Nazis,” he added.

The forum had to be cancelled when police were called in to disperse the protestors. Officers arrested one demonstrator for disorderly conduct.

Hmmm, the far left has apparently decided that they will dictate what can and cannot be debated in America. What part of freedom of speech do they not understand?

When people are silenced and forced to live in fear of repercussion because of words, thoughts, and ideas, where is the freedom?

That is not America. That, my friend, is the ugly face of communism.

Tuesday Assessment of the “Immigration” Rallies

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

As far as I’m concerned, the “immigration” rallies were a big zero.  I’m only one minute cog in the vast wheel of our country, but the rallies/protests/boycotts didn’t affect my life one bit. There was the usual traffic on the roads and the usual crowds in the stores.

Any reasonable American understands that it is detrimental to our country - to our self-respect and to the respect that others have for our country - to tell millions of people that it is okay to break our laws - not only okay but that we’ll reward them for breaking our laws.

Nope.  It’s a stupid idea.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with racism.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with hate.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with compassion or the lack thereof.  It has to do with not wanting people in our country who have blatantly broken our laws and who have shown disrespect and a willingness to take advantage of our generosity.

We welcome legal immigrants.  Follow the rules, and you’re welcome here.

The May 1 “Immigration” Boycott

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Looks like there will be lots of people demonstrating today, Monday, May 1st, for “immigration reform.”  Sounds good, but it’s not what the demonstrations and boycott are about.  It’s about legalizing the illegal activity of millions of people.

(1) This is a nation of laws.

(2) If someone from another country wants to become an American, that person should follow the lawful channels.  It isn’t too much to require people from other countries to follow the established procedures to obatain admission to the United States.

(3) Giving amnesty or any concessions to these law-breakers will only make more people willing to become illegal invaders.  It is also a slap in the face the the millions of immigrants upon which this country was founded.  It is a slap in the face to the millions who have followed the law to become citizens.

Phil Valentine and De-magnetizing America

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Each afternoon on my way home from work, I listen to the last few minutes of the Dave Ramsey show - I’m a major fan of his.   Then there’s a few minutes of news, and then there’s the Phil Valentine show.  I had never listened to Phil Valentine until his show was moved recently to the 4:00 - 7:00 time slot.  I knew he had a radio show, but it wasn’t on at a time that I could listen to it.  I actually taught his oldest son a few years ago when the son was in fifth grade.  He was in one of my math classes…which is kinda funny since I’m now a reading specialist.  But I’ve always loved math, too.   

I digress.  Back to Phil’s radio show.  Recently he has been saying that we don’t need to deport illegal immigrants.  If we de-magnetize America - stop making it so attractive to illegals - they’ll leave on their own.  He’s having a town meeting this Thursday in Franklin, Tennessee to discuss the issue.  Here is part of what he has written about the situation:

America is finally at the boiling point and it’s as much over our inaction as it is the illegal aliens’ action. Americans were paying close attention at not only the numbers but also the message. Protesters carried signs reading, ‘If you think I’m “Illegal” because I’m Mexican, learn the true history because I’m in my homeland’ and ‘North America: The Stolen Continent.”

This is the part of the story that is not being reported by the mainstream media. It’s also the part that bothers Americans the most yet they’re not sure exactly why. It’s just a gut feeling.

It’s time to trust your gut.

What all these signs and all these Mexican flags mean is the movement of Reconquista is now out in the open. Reconquista, or Reconquest, is a huge movement within the Latino community. It refers to the section of the United States taken in the Mexican-American war after Mexico invaded Texas, which had fought for and won its independence from Mexico several years prior. Apparently a significant number of Mexicans have held a grudge down through the generations and they have been plotting to take the territory back. One Mexican-American activist offered this warning: “We are reconquering Aztlan without firing a shot, house by house, block by block!” Aztlan is what we know as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Some hard-line reconquistas also throw in Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado.

The really scary part is they’ve convinced a good number of what the border patrol calls OTMs, or Other Than Mexicans, to join their cause. The plan is to invade America with enough Latinos to vote in their own representatives who are loyal to Mexico. That’s why there’s such a big push for election-day voter registration that Hillary Clinton is so fond of. That’s why such a stink has been made over Georgia’s law requiring photo ID in order to vote. This is all being fueled by organizations like La Raza, a racist Hispanic organization that places La Raza (The Race) above all else.

The Immigration Debate and a Society Unable to Say NO

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

There’s an excellent article written by Rabbi Aryeh Spero at Human Events Online.  He describes our current situation in regards to illegal immigration and terrorism.  DEFINITELY worth reading.

What makes citizens of a country submit to the demands of people who are not even citizens? What is it that makes people here for decades and centuries cower in front of those here illegally, arriving only yesterday? What is it that makes people unwilling to lay claim to their own land and country?

It is guilt. It is fear. It is a brainwashing that has convinced so many that every member of the world is entitled to U.S. constitutional and welfare “rights.” It is a society that no longer believes in itself as a specific culture or even a sovereign country. Worse, it is a society so emotionally weak that it will accept disease, terrorism, crime, bankruptcy and the disintegration of its own chosen laws rather than being called racist, even though such charges are false.

Forty years of sick liberalism has created a public so unsure of its own legitimacy yet so sure of every other culture’s and nation’s goodness that it cannot say “no” to anyone perceived outside the mainstream. Being an outsider proffers today a nobility and entitlement to “rights” that is beyond the scope and hope of those viewed as merely regular Americans.

In fact, in today’s America, the more hostile one is to the country and the more brazen against its historic mores, the more protection and concern comes one’s way. Why? Because what greater way to demonstrate one’s “tolerance,” “sensitivity” and “understanding” than when given precisely to those who are your greatest threat. Showing goodness to your own is labeled “tribalism” while being tolerant of those that differ and even despise is the most shining example of “tolerance.”

In today’s America, tolerance is God, and the faithful will sacrifice all — even their security — to their secular God. Never in history has there been such a need for people to feel good about themselves as is happening in the West. Never have a people become so insecure that they feel unworthy absent the approval of those who deride their ways. Thus, can the foreigner in the land rise with impudence against his benefactors, demanding from them and daring them to say “no.”

Whereas common sense dictates that the way to find a criminal is by investigating the men who match the description of those seen at the crime scene, emotionally enfeebled America searches in airports for benign grey haired old ladies with blue eyes and dainty cheek bones rather than young Muslim/Arab men with angry facial muscles, simply because to do the rational may invite the accusation of profiling and thus “racism,” albeit every terrorist has thus far been an Islamic jihadist, not to mention how it is radical Islam that encourages terrorism not Lenox, Mass. Unitarianism.

NBC’s Dateline looks for racism not by Muslims against Christians but in NASCAR Christians against Muslims, even though North Carolina Protestantism does not speak of others as infidels as does today’s Islam, constantly. NBC represents the corrosive elitist notion that those foreign are harmlessly noble while mainstream Christian America is congenitally racist and must, therefore, every day prove itself non-racist and tolerant.

This already forty year brainwashing job on Americans by academia and the media has created an American public so tentative about itself and so submissive that it rarely sticks up for its own rights and needs when in conflict with a “minority” out of fear of being labeled a racist and, worse, feeling that it is indeed racist.

I can hear the “amens!” ringing out as you read this.  He continues:

. . . many spearheading the flouting of our laws regarding immigration are the Barney liberals who never believed in an indigenous American culture or a truly sovereign America. They, in fact, subscribe to a borderless America. They are universalists and transnationalists who view America as nothing special and have no understanding of how and why this country achieved its greatness. Others are simply grownup children, bereft of any knowledge of history and reality.

Many are old fashioned communists who take up any cause they see as disruptive to America, its institutions and its establishment. Masquerading as human rights activists, they are fascists craving an America socially engineered under their hegemony. Unfortunately, while most Americans do not see themselves on the left, they have been snookered by the high-sounding terms of multiculturalism and unearned “rights for all” used by the left to disenfranchise regular, good willed Americans. We have become, unwittingly, complicit in our own demise.

Though I bear no ill will to the illegals and know many of them, I’m disturbed by how this issue has revealed an American weakness that if not reversed imperils our longevity as a specific and distinct culture. I speak not of race but values; not of place of origin but a common American ethos and love and pride in Americanism.

I fear what will happen to an America ruled not by its republican laws but emotion, not by what is right and legal but by who screams the loudest — mob rule, the jungle.

A people no longer able to assert its right to say “no” out of fear and guilt as to what others will say or charge is a nation that is allowing its mores and habits, its heritage and distinctiveness, to be determined by those accusing the loudest. Not only will America loose the immigration issue but the war on terror itself.

Watching America fold to La Rasa and other race mongers, how afraid of America can the jihadist enemy be, knowing that Americans will not protect themselves if by so doing they are accused of “Islamophobia,” the latest concocted form of “racism”. To think, a great and powerful nation brought to its knees not by a power stronger militarily but simply because it was afraid of being called a name, simply because it craved its enemy’s validation over its own security.

I have not read a more succinct and intelligent summary of what is going on today.
