TIME Magazine's Person of The Year Vote Is Really Troubling Me

   Y'all, I have a true problem with this. To me, this is disturbing; extremely. It's that time of year when TIME Magazine scouts out their person of the year, and the top two choices are Rand Paul and Wendy Davis. I'll go into what both of them did later. But I wanna analyze something first.

   The link to this was posted to a tumblr page, and someone thought that Davis should truly be winning this (feminist I think), so they had this signal boosted to their followers, and what used to be 67-33 Paul, it turns to this (see pic). Well one, this is the power of social media, but the question is, do they really know who did what?

   What Paul Did: Rand Paul, son of former Rep. Ron Paul, got up on the Senate floor, and did something truly brave. Without warning, he started a filibuster, demanding something simple: an answer from the government whether it allowed people in the US to be killed by drone strikes. It was a simple request that should have easily been answered. But it wasn't...  It was hours before he finally got an answer early in the morning. But it highlighted something: here was a guy standing up for the Constitution, wanting to protect people domestically and in foreign countries from being blown to bits by government drones.

   What Davis Did: The Texas legislature was moving to vote on new abortion industry regulations. The regulations were somewhat simple, making the clinics have a hospital they would have access to, and other things. It seemed to be pro-safety (I thought Dems were all for safe things), but the Dem Senator in Texas just didn't like it. So, with help from other Senators and pro-choice groups, she filibustered in the Texas Senate. People flooded the Capital, demanding the bill be defeated. There was violence. Twitter flourished with new users complaining about it all. Hangers and signs were waved. The bill was passed. Then she came out and said she was pro-life later.

   There's a difference between the two: one wishes to protect life, the other is okay with killing it. Paul is deserving of some recognition from people. But no, let's just back the women in favour of killing unborn kids. It seems fitting though, because other famous recipients would be Hitler and Stalin. I don't really give a damn who truly get's it, but really figure out who did what, and other stuff about them before you vote for them.

Trouble Already For The New Virginia Governor

   We all get it: Terry McAuliffe was an idiot who paid his way to victory and lied at every turn just to please his sheepish voters. We understand, some people like comfortable lies better than the hard truth. But in reality, that has consequences.

   Appointments to McAuliffe's cabinet have begun, and one of the choices doesn't seem to have a very trustworthy character.

  Meet Levar Stoney. He's going to be McAuliffe's Secretary of the Commonwealth, which means he'll be a very busy man when the new administration (sadly) takes hold in Virginia.

   What's the problem with him? Not much. He's just a former Greentech Auto (wonder what that is) Executive, who was involved in some very interesting activity during the 2004 election in Wisconsin.

   Back then, when he was working up there, he helped to elect Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis) elected. In his course of courting voters, he and several others from the campaign were accused of slashing tires to 25 van's that belonged to the GOP, which were supposed to help taxi people to the polls on Election Day.

   When he was questioned about it, he said nothing. Simply because "he did not want to give up the names of the defendants, whom he grew close to during long days courting voters in Milwaukee." 

   Eventually, the FBI did get involved, which was when he spilled after coming back to Virginia. Spawned Omokunde, the Representatives son, and three others were convicted on counts of criminal property damage, however, Stoney, wasn't.

   I find it somewhat unsurprising McAuliffe would make an appointment like this. It's like he needs people who are just as corrupt as him to help do the dirty work in sinking Virginia. If you voted for McAuliffe because you thought he'd not be corrupt being a newcomer to a big VA office, you've been had. Get ready to suffer through 4 years of bullshit and lies, after all, it's what you wanted.

John McCain Calls Louie Golhmert A Dummy

McCain is drinking way too much of that Haterade. It's seems like every time some Congressman wants to stand more for freedom and liberty, it's always McCain who comes out and calls them wacko-birds, and now plain stupid. I wanna know who's challenging this idiot when it comes time for his re-election. He needs to retire. Badly.

Via Daily Caller:

John McCain took a swipe at Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert in an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams Wednesday night.

During the interview, Williams brought up a statement Gohmert made last week at the Values Voter Summit claiming that the Republican Arizona senator supports al Qaida. Speaking at an event at the conservative conference, Gohmert referred to McCain as a “guy who’s been to Syria and supported al Qaida and rebels.”

McCain told Williams that it isn’t worth responding to someone who “has no intelligence.”

“Sometimes… comments like that are made out of malice, but if someone has no intelligence I don’t view it as being a malicious statement,” McCain said. “You know, you can’t respond to that kind of thing.”

A request for comment from Gohmert’s office was not immediately returned.

Video: Obama Says Founding Fathers Wouldn’t Approve of Tea Party

And to your left, we have our nice old dictator, completely failing on  thinking the Founding Fathers would be against the Tea Party Republicans. It's not like the Founding Fathers ever threw a revolution, filled with patriots and people wanting freedom and liberty, and small government. Not like that happened at all.

Meanwhile, I'll bet you anything, they're tossing and turning in their eternal sleep, for the country they helped give birth to is slowly destroyed. Worse of all, from the inside. Lincoln was right to say the threat wouldn't come from a foreign land, but from within.

Via Capitalism Institute:

Obama went after people who challenge Obamacare, suggesting that they think government is the “enemy”, which is somehow not “what the founders” envisioned with self-government”.

The ignorance and mental gymnastics necessary to even take this analysis seriously is simply breathtaking. First, the Tea Party isn’t an anti-government movement — it’s about limited government, which is what the founders supported. Second, the founders would have been bloody shooting by now.

Obama continues to get away with this kind of crap, and he knows exactly how he’ll get away with it: the media is overwhelmingly on his side, with a few notable exceptions. That’s why online activism is ESSENTIAL to challenging him at all.

CSN News reports, courtesy of WZ:

The president suggested that the system of checks and balances invoked by tea party Republicans in an attempt to defund Obamacare is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

“Let’s work together to make government work better, instead of treating it like an enemy or purposely making it work worse,” Obama said.

“That’s not what the founders of this nation envisioned when they gave us the gift of self-government.

“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”
Conservative Republicans attempted to invoke the power of the purse, granted to them by the Constitution, to force changes to a law they believe will harm Americans as well as the economy.

Republicans repeatedly complained throughout the process that President Obama flatly refused to negotiate with them.

Here’s the video:

Note that he’s not just talking about “anarchists” or something. This is a direct reference to the Tea Party — Rand Paul and Ted Cruz types who base their entire philosophy of politics on the founding fathers and natural law.

Please spread this on Facebook and Twitter… people need to see how out of control he is. The media, like usual, will give almost no exposure to the obvious hypocrisy and dishonesty here.

Mitch McConnell Got $2.9 Billion in “Dirty Money” by Caving

I have a pretty damn good feeling this is the only reason that keeps him tethered to voting yes on the bill. Seriously, Kentucky, you better throw up a good candidate that'll challenge him come re-election. Seriously, how did y'all let this RINO get re-elected in the first place? This isn't no conservative or lover of liberty. This man just has his own agenda.

Via Capitalism Institute:

Mitch McConnell caved on the government shutdown “negotiations”, and many wondered why. If we just look at what was in the bill, we can see one obvious reason: the bill dumped $2.9 billion on a project in Kentucky. This has led to many calling it a “Kentucky kickback”.
McConnell is claiming he didn’t directly authorize it, but nobody accused him of that at all. He didn’t have to do that. After all, that’s what a bribe is — when others work to find a way to “sweeten the pot” in order to get what they want.

This is an example of DC corruption. If McConnell feels this wasn’t corruption, then he should have insisted that the money not go there — instead, he did the wrong thing and went with the cash. Pathetic. He should step down or be fired.

The Hill reports:

A conservative group is accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of including an earmark for a water project in the deal to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.

The Senate Conservatives Fund tagged the provision the “Kentucky Kickback,” and said it would benefit the Olmsted Locks and Dam, which is under construction on the Ohio River between Kentucky and Illinois.

“In exchange for funding ObamaCare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell has secured a $2 billion earmark,” the group wrote in a statement. “This is an insult to all the Kentucky families who don’t want to pay for ObamaCare and don’t want to shoulder any more debt.”

The debt-ceiling bill legislation could be one of the last appropriations bill to pass before year’s end, and senators seized the opportunity to attach funding for projects and natural disasters in their home states.

Section 123 of the bill calls for increasing the authorized funding for the Olmsted Locks and Dam project to $2.9 billion.

Instead of admitting it was wrong, McConnell has decided to do what Obama has been doing, and attack Ted Cruz:

House Speaker John Boehner’s strategy collapsed. Ted Cruz’s push to use a shutdown to defund Obamacare was “not a smart play” and a “tactical error,” he said. And the country was staring at the threat of a prolonged shutdown and a potentially disastrous default on a nearly $17 trillion national debt.

Here’s Mitch McConnell right before he actually caved — just watch his behavior and you can tell he thinks he’s a very clever man here:
Spread this around. It’s time for everyone to understand that this man doesn’t represent us — and that the people want him to be gone. This isn’t about partisan politics. This is about having leaders who aren’t “caving” in convenient ways while the rest of us suffer for it.

Latest Obamacare Woes: A ‘navigator’ has warrant out for her arrest, while a leftist blogger discovers truth about the new law

The time is now to repeal the ACA. Polls show people don't like it, and congressmen and women have tried to repeal it before. But, as usual, Dems refuse to even vote on such a thing in the Senate. So for now, we just have to sit by as our healthcare system get's destroyed and mangled more and more.

Did I forget to mention the Navigators don't have the cleanest of backgrounds? My bad. Here's a great example of their "spotless" record.

Via Glenn Beck:

In the 16 days since the Obamacare exchanges launched on October 1, there has been little positive press surrounding the implementation of the President’s signature legislation. From web glitches to identity theft, lack of signups to higher costs, very little has gone the President’s way. On radio this morning, Glenn shared two more stories that are sure to make Obamacare supporters cringe.

According to the Daily Caller, a health care employee in Kansas tasked with helping individuals enroll in President Barack Obama’s signature health care program appears to have an outstanding warrant for her arrest.

TheBlaze reports:

Rosilyn Wells, 41, who is an Obamacare “certified navigator,” reportedly has an outstanding arrest warrant in Shawnee County, Kansas, according to a webpage on the local sheriff department’s website, highlighted by the Caller.

It was not immediately clear what charges were connected with Wells’ warrant.

It was also not 100 percent clear if the Rosilyn Wells with the arrest warrant is the same Rosilyn Wells that is employed by the federal government as an Obamacare “navigator.”

“Yeah, she’s the one the government decided could handle your healthcare and all your personal information,” Glenn said. “They don’t care.”

“And they’ve been told that this is one of the biggest identity theft fraud possibilities in the history of the world, probably the biggest,” Pat added. “ I mean more information is going to be stolen, we’re told, by people like McAfee than has ever been stolen in the history of the world from Obamacare.”

The other Obamacare story of the day involves ‘Tirge Caps,’ a blogger on the far-left Daily Kos website, who has penned a post complaining he and his wife are facing a nearly 100 percent increase in their monthly premiums.

“I’m not necessarily a big fan of Tirge Caps,” Glenn said, “but here’s what he wrote:”

My wife and I just got our updates from Kaiser telling us what our 2014 rates will be. Her monthly has been $168 this year, mine $150. We have a high deductible. We are generally healthy people who don’t go to the doctor often. I barely ever go. The insurance is in case of a major catastrophe.

Well, now, because of Obamacare, my wife’s rate is gong to $302 per month and mine is jumping to $284.

I am canceling insurance for us and I am not paying any f***ing penalty. What the hell kind of reform is this?

“They’re so vitriolic. If you say anything against Obamacare, you are going to be excoriated on the Daily Kos,” Pat said. “But wait until they get signed up. See, nobody signed up yet, or very few. These are just the people finding out that because of Obamacare, the insurance that they did have they now don’t get to keep, or their rates have gone way up because the insurance doesn’t work anymore under Obamacare. Wait ’til the people who absolutely have to get it, and are forced into the system, wait ’til they find out how ‘great’ it is.”

Sen. Paul Opposes Senate Debt Deal

And here's my guy Rand, explaining why he voted no on the House Resolution to re-open the government and raise the debt ceiling for a few weeks.

Via Rand Paul's Senate Hub:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Rand Paul today voted no on H.R. 2775, as amended, that will suspend the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014 and fund the government to January 15, 2014.

"Tonight, a deal was struck to re-open the government and avoid the debt ceiling deadline. That is a good thing," Sen. Paul said. "However, our country faces a problem bigger than any deadline: a $17 trillion debt. I am disappointed that Democrats would not compromise to avoid the looming debt debacle."

BREAKING: Ted Cruz and Rand Paul Vote AGAINST Fake “Compromise”

I actually think there are a few; a FEW civilized politicians left out there these days. Yes, there are still some things we can disagree with them about, but in the end, we may almost see eye-to-eye on everything. This is where Ted and Rand come in. I wanna aplaude the both of you for what you've been doing and trying to point out during the shutdown so far. The sheeple need to pull their heads out of their asses and wake up, and realize that the Dems and even many Republicans aren't gonna help them out.

Today's vote in the Senate and House were both examples of why I can trust Ted and Rand. Marco and I have a shaky relationship after his immigration bill he tried pushing. Don't push it Senator.

Via Capitalism Institute:

Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul both voted against the fake “compromise” that the GOP leadership worked out with the Democrat Party. The end result of the “compromise” was that Obamacare is almost untouched, the negotiating power of the GOP was substantially hurt permanently, and Obamacare is partly delayed… for UNIONS.

Rand and Ted rightfully kept their names off of this pathetic “compromise” because it simply wasn’t a compromise. It was a president using the threat of economic catastrophe to manipulate the GOP leadership into caving… once again.

Both men have issued press releases explaining why they refused to cave on this issue, and more people need to read their reasoning… especially “moderate” Republicans who think they’re somehow “negotiating” with Obama when they give him everything for nothing.

Here’s what Sen. Rand Paul issued:

“[O]ur country faces a problem bigger than any deadline: a $17 trillion debt. I am disappointed that Democrats would not compromise to avoid the looming debt debacle.”

Here’s what Sen. Ted Cruz said:
“Throughout this debate, I have had one standard for whether I would support any deal: ‘Does it provide meaningful relief for the millions of Americans who are being harmed by Obamacare?’ The answer is no.
…The fight against Obamacare must continue in the face of Washington’s apathy. That is where my attention will remain focused.”
You can see Ted Cruz’s statements from earlier in this video.

In the end, the GOP must reform or die. It must become more principled, more strategically savvy, and less inclined to do whatever Obama tells them. In other words, if the GOP is to survive, then it needs more Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

In the end, I agree with CI here. The GOP must reform, and look back and readopt the principles it was founded on: to be pro-small government, pro-individual, and be for lowering taxes for everyone. At the same time, the GOP needs to embrace the liberty movement. The Libertarian Party will continue to gain more support from these liberty-lovers (maybe me soon), and this will only hurt the GOP more. It's time to choose, embrace the liberty movement, and go back to when you were a better party, or stay the way you are, slamming those within you trying to do good, and die off.

No Water = No NSA Data Center

LA School District Hires Survailance Company To Monitor Students Online Activity...

...On & OFF Campus.

I have a problem with this. A very big problem with this. Before we actually see the article, I wanna go over one thing with you though.

“The whole purpose is student safety,” Glendale Unified Superintendent Dick Sheehan told CBS Los Angeles. “Basically, it just monitors for keywords where if a student is considering harming themselves, harming someone else.”

The whole point is to spy on their students wherever they are. It's not for student safety. You cannot do this though. This is a violation of one's privacy and the 4th amendment. Do the students get to consent to this? What if they don't want to be part of it? This is an unreasonable search of their info online. The government has no right. Their argument is always "We wanna protect our kids!" Why not arm the damn teachers with guns then? Oh wait, a gun free zone is better than that for them apparently.

From The Daily Caller:

A school district amid the vast suburban sprawl of Los Angeles has hired a self-described social network monitoring service to stalk its students on internet-based platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.

The Glendale Unified School District already piloted the invasive tactic in three schools last year in conjunction with the company, called Geo Listening, reports CBS Los Angeles. For this year, the district decided to expand the program to include the social media postings of 13,000 students across eight middle schools and high schools.

It’s all for the teen and preteen students’ own good, you understand—to protect them. 

“The whole purpose is student safety,” Glendale Unified Superintendent Dick Sheehan told CBS Los Angeles. “Basically, it just monitors for keywords where if a student is considering harming themselves, harming someone else.”

By spying on students’ computer use, Sheehan explained, school officials will have access to crucial information as quickly as possible.

Each day, explains the Glendale News-Press, Geo Listening will produce a report for Glendale administrators that catalogs social network posts by frequency and by topics such as cyber-bullying, drug abuse, vandalism and skipping school. For good measure, there are other hopelessly vague categories including hate and despair.

The monitoring service will cost the district $40,500 this year.

The school district claims it was able to intercede to help a student contemplating suicide thanks to last year’s pilot program. 

“The administrator was contacted at the school site. Then we made contact with the student, the student’s family and we got them the appropriate help,” Sheehan boasted to CBS Los Angeles.

“We do monitor on and off campus, but we do pay attention during school hours,” the superintendent also noted. “We do pay more attention to the school computers.”

Not surprisingly, the CEO of Geo Listening, Chris Frydrych, also favors the program.

“We have provided information to school districts, which has led to numerous successful interventions on behalf of students that intended self-harm, suicide, bullying, truancy, substance abuse, and vandalism. We monitor only public posts to social networks. We do not monitor privatized pages, SMS, MMS, email, phone calls, voicemails,” he told the CBS affiliate. 

The station found a parent and student duo which supports the district’s snooping.

“If there was a red flag, if he’s talking about stress at school or he can’t take it anymore, if I won’t be able to deal with it, I would want somebody to come in,” concerned mother Felicia Johnson reflected.

Yalda T. Uhls, a researcher at the Children’s Digital Media Center at UCLA, told the News-Press that she appreciated the district’s attempts to stop cyber-bullying. At the same time, she suggested that the monitoring could cause students to mistrust adults who conduct around-the-clock digital surveillance. 

“As a parent, I find it very big brother-ish,” Uhls said.

KY Students To Michelle Obama: Your Lunch Food Taste's Like vomit

I always knew this would come. It first happened in Wisconsin. Madison is where it was I think. It's the story of a school district trying to live within the money it's given, so they have to cut back on things. Meals was one of those programs that could have been cut down a bit. So, Michelle and her "Let's Move, America" fitness push came in and gave them a supplement lunch  menu. "Healthier" and cheaper it was supposed to be.

Well, they actually hated it in Wisconsin. They (students) made video's of them playing and hating on the food itself. Many complained of starving in them that it was too little. This may be the kind of meal for a skinny girl who wants to stay really thin, but it's not meant for the athlete's or really anyone else.

And so today's case comes from Harland, KY, in it's rural area's. Student's complain of it "tasting like vomit". Parents complain to the school board that their children go hungry throughout the day.

From The Daily Caller:

Students in a rural Kentucky county — and their parents — are the latest to join a growing national chorus of scorn for the healthy school lunches touted by first lady Michelle Obama.

“They say it tastes like vomit,” said Harlan County Public Schools board member Myra Mosley at a contentious board meeting last week, reports The Harlan Daily Enterprise.

The growing body of USDA meal regulations implemented by the Department of Agriculture under the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010″ has long been a signature issue for the first lady.Denizens of Harlan County don’t much care, though. 

Their primary concern at the board meeting was a bevy of complaints that local children are starving at lunch — and for the remainder of the school day — because the food on offer in the cafeteria is crappy and there isn’t nearly enough of it.

“Kids can’t learn when they’re hungry!” parents shouted to the board, according to the Enterprise.

Other gripes involved the new bread, which students don’t want to eat because it’s brown wheat bread, and the new milk, which is skim or one percent fat, not two percent or whole. The cafeteria’s chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk offerings are now nonfat.

Jack Miniard, the school district’s director of school and community nutrition, was on hand to explain that the federal government now governs both food choices and portion sizes in most American school districts including Harlan County.

Under the National School Lunch Program, participating schools must provide lunches — including free or reduced price lunches — with minimum amounts of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and whole grains. Also, in what presumably falls outside the hunger-free aspect of the act, there’s a calorie cap: 850 for high school lunches, 700 for middle schools and a mere 650 calories for kids in elementary school. 

Students can only have one serving of meat or other protein. However, rich kids can buy a second portion each day on their own dime.

Servings of carbohydrates such as potatoes are limited to just a single serving of three-fourths of a cup per student.

On the plus side, students can eat as many fruits and vegetables as they want.

Across the country, students and parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the federal government’s new food regime. Some wealthier suburban school districts are simply backing out of the National School Lunch Program, though doing so can mean giving up a six-figure annual subsidy for the district.

In all honest, I sympathize with the kids, but I urge them to bring in their own lunches. 1. You can bring whatever the heck you want 2. Michelle Obama can't touch your lunch from home 3. I end my lunch feeling satisfied and full. So while the complaining is nice, let's try something new and, gasp, pack your own damn lunch.

I need someone to tell me when it became the governments sole responsibility to feed your kids. We already have bad enough schools as it is, and these kinds of government lunch programs aren't helping them get any better.

Tax Dollars Now Going Towards... Helping Illegals Get & Keep Jobs?

Oh Liberals, how can you still love this President? After all he's done to America. And you Socialists out there, this should enrage you. The Obama Admin recently struck a deal with Mexico to give illegal aliens their so-called protected rights here in the US. It's funny, cause Obama say's he looking out for the Middle Class, he's a protector of the Middle Class, but this? This sort of breaks the glass shield that portrays such a message.

Instead of now being fired for being an illegal alien, they may now be able to keep those jobs. Jobs that Americans once used to hold. e'll be shelling out tax dollar after tax dollar to teach them about their "civil rights" (illegal aliens have them here?), minimum wage laws and workplace safety laws. Sounds cheap, doesn't it.

From Freedom Outpost:

Instead of making sure that U.S. employers are not hiring illegal immigrants, the Obama administration has actually signed a secret deal with Mexico to protect “the rights” of illegal immigrants in the workplace.  According to this “memorandum of understanding”, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will spend U.S. taxpayer dollars to educate illegal immigrants about their civil rights, workplace safety, and minimum wage laws.  This is yet another example of how the Obama administration is openly flouting the law and doing all that it can to promote even more illegal immigration.  We are rapidly becoming a lawless nation that has absolutely no regard for the rule of law, and it all starts with the horrendous example that is being set at the very top. 

I was absolutely stunned when I first heard about this new agreement.  How in the world can the U.S. government promise to assist illegal immigrants in the workplace?  This deal probably breaks a whole bunch of existing immigration laws, but nobody is doing anything about it.  The following is an excerpt from the press release about this new deal… 

The Miami District Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Orlando today with the Consulate General of Mexico in Miami and Consulate of Mexico in Orlando.  The agreement establishes an ongoing collaboration between these entities to provide Mexican nationals with information, guidance, and access to resources on the prevention of discrimination in the workplace regardless of immigration status.  Mexican Consul Efran Nicolas Leyva Acevedo of Orlando and Miami District Office Director Malcolm S. Medley signed the agreement.  Acting Mexican Consul General Vladimir Hernandez Lara of Miami signed the document prior to the meeting today.
“By signing this Memorandum of Understanding today with the Mexican Consulate, we of the EEOC’s Miami District have solidified our continued and longstanding commitment to this underserved community,” said Medley.  “This agreement provides the opportunity for ongoing education, outreach and service by the EEOC to Mexican nationals in our area.  We look forward to a long-lasting and significant partnership.”
Under the terms of the MOU, the EEOC will expand its relationship with these two consulates by providing them with Spanish-language materials explaining the laws enforced by the federal agency.  In addition, the EEOC will partner with consulate offices to provide information and training to areas of the state where migrant farm workers and other Mexican nationals live and work.

And of course this comes at a time of high unemployment for U.S. citizens and at a time when wages are being driven down by competition from illegal immigrants inside this country and by competition from foreign workers overseas. 

Unfortunately, the Obama administration does not seem to care about that.  What is important to them is the radical political agenda that they are relentlessly pursuing. 

The following is what former police detective Iris Aquino had to say about this agreement… 

“In other words, the Obama administration has been siding with — and protecting — lawbreakers, while persecuting and prosecuting American business owners, who in the past administrations were denigrated and even arrested for hiring — or harboring — illegal aliens” 

But of course this is not the first time the Obama administration has done this sort of thing.  Over the years the Obama administration has made it abundantly clear that it is on the side of the illegal immigrants.  In fact, the Obama administration has even gone after employers that require their employees to speak English in the workplace even though federal law permits them to do so… 

Although federal law allows employers to require English on the job, a national healthcare firm will dish out nearly half a million dollars to settle a discrimination lawsuit in which the U.S. government alleges Hispanic workers were punished for speaking Spanish. Filed by the federal agency that enforces the nation’s workplace discrimination laws, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the suit accuses Skilled Healthcare Group Inc. of enforcing an English-only rule against Hispanics. The firm operates nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Western and Southern states and the government says Hispanic employees were harassed for not speaking English.

And the Obama administration has also tried to do all that it can to get more immigrants enrolled in federal welfare programs.  In fact, the government actually has a website that teaches immigrants how to sign up for welfare programs once they arrive in the United States.  On WelcomeToUSA.gov, immigrants are encouraged to sign up for all of the “government benefits” that they are eligible for.  Here is an excerpt from that page… 

Depending on your immigration status, length of time in the United States, and income, you may be eligible for some federal benefit programs. Government assistance programs can be critically important to the well-being of some immigrants and their families. Frequently, however, there is a lack of information about how to access such benefits. Benefit programs can be complicated and you may be given misleading information about how they operate.

But illegal immigrants are not supposed to be eligible for welfare programs such as food stamps, right? 

Technically yes, but the Obama administration has widely distributed materials that inform illegal immigrants that their immigration status will not be checked by government officials when they apply for food stamps. 

How bizarre is that? 

And not only is the Obama administration doing all that it can for illegal immigrants, it is even stopping state governments from enforcing our immigration laws.  In fact, the Obama administration actually took the state of Arizona to court to keep them from cracking down on illegal immigration. 

Meanwhile, illegal immigration continues to have a very negative effect on thousands of communities all over the United States.  If you doubt this, please see my previous article entitled “19 Very Disturbing Facts About Illegal Immigration That Every American Should Know.” 

So what do you think about all of this? 

Do you believe that the Obama administration should be helping illegal immigrants in the workplace?

Gun Control Wars: Episode 1: The Democrat Tax-Pusher

It is a hard time for a person to be a gun owner. These days, fines and fee's, and background checks can keep you from being united with your recently purchased gun. But, what if those fines were to grow by say... 20%? How about 50% more when you buy some ammo?

Thanks to these "fine" two Democrat Representatives in the House, Danny K. Davis (D-IL) and Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), that may just happen. their bill H.R. 3018 titled "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013" is aimed at raising the taxes for handguns by 20%, and ammunition by 50%. What's the money gonna be used for if implemented? Funding the police who will take much longer to respond to your house than you would with a gun.

From Breitbart:

Representative Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) are sponsoring legislation which amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include a 20 percent tax on handguns--"pistols [and] revolvers"--as well as a 50 percent tax on "shells and cartridges." 

The bill is H.R. 3018 and it is titled the "Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act of 2013." 

News 12 New Jersey reports that Pascrell believes a new tax on handguns "has been a long time coming." In announcing the legislation on August 21, Pascrell said, "The tax on handguns was last increased in 1955. Worse yet, the tax rate on ammunition and other types of firearms has remained the same since 1941."

The bill is designed to bring in revenue from gun and ammo sales to help cover police costs around the country. An estimated $600 million a year would be provided if the bill went into effect. 

Besides taxing "pistols [and] revolvers" the bill also contains language indicating a proposed 20 percent tax on firearms "other than pistols and revolvers."

The tax would be placed on firearms at the time of "sale by the manufacturer, producer, or importer." If implemented, this legislation will drive firearm and ammunition prices through the roof.

DHS Employee Wants Millitant Cells In Race War?

The Department of Homeland Security does anything but protect the homeland, and I can now prove it to you. Meet Ayo Kimathi, a DHS employee. He want's to set up and start militant cells to help move an upcoming race war..., and I'm not kidding with you.

Wait, this guy is DHS though? Why does he wanna hurt people in the US? How does he still work for the DHS? All of these are questions even I need answered. Above all though, is the fact that his co-workers don't talk to him much cause they're scared of him. He's even been called the next "Nidal Hasan".

From Breitbart:

Ayo Kimathi might have been the next Nidal Hasan. People who worked with Kimathi were reportedly afraid of him. And like Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, Kimathi talked openly about his extremist beliefs even while working for the department whose mission is to identify violent extremists.

Kimathi, aka Irritated Genie, appeared on a podcast in July 2010 in which he discussed his plans for carrying out a race war with "Europeans." In the same podcast Kimathi talked about his "plantation job" working for the government and claimed he was always spreading his message of a coming race war, even when at work.

In this clip, Kimathi discusses the message he hopes to give in which he will lay out his master plan for the coming race war. Kimathi wants to create small "cells" of 3-5 people who would inspire action including "military efforts to secure a future for our people."

 In this next clip, Kimathi discusses his "plantation job" and how he tries to spread his message of a coming race war no matter where he is.

Nidal Hasan also advertised his extremist beliefs prior to the deadly shooting at Ft. Hood. He used the acronym SoA for soldier of Allah on his business cards. He made multiple contacts to Anwar al-Awlaki and in online postings compared suicide bombing to self-sacrifice on the battlefield. Despite all of these red flags he was promoted rather than disciplined.

Kimathi, thankfully, has not acted on his violent plans. But like Hasan he seems to have gone unnoticed at a string of government jobs even as he has spoken openly for years about his dream of a race war with whites. Kimathi was placed on paid leave Saturday. He should obviously be fired immediately.

But at this point DHS also needs to explain how he was allowed to rant about a new civil war for so many years without anyone picking up on it. According to Kimathi, he talks about this wherever he goes. And according to published reports, his co-workers were afraid of him and worried he might "go postal" one day. So how is it possible that no one in authority took action? Kimathi's supervisors also need to be held accountable.

Kimathi will be out of a job soon enough. The real question is this: If DHS can't even deal with a dangerous extremist on their own payroll, how can they deal with the dangerous extremists who aren't?

States Wave Final Goodbye's To Gun Producers In Wake Of New Gun Control

I guess some just didn't listen. It's like liberals and democrats are too stupid to see that this'll hurt normal people. But, being the caring, loving, people they are, safety comes first.

From The Daily Caller:

In recent months, several traditionally anti-gun states, and Colorado, have enacted laws that abuse the rights of the average citizen and offend their corporate citizens. The situation has led to an exodus of gun manufacturers to more friendly climes, with anti-gun states losing the significant tax revenue and jobs these companies provide.

Amongst the companies that have chosen to relocate is Magpul Industries of Erie, Colo., a manufacturer of AR-15 parts, accessories and magazines. Magpul warned the state in February that the company would move if legislation banning standard capacity magazines passed. In March, Gov. Hickenlooper signed a ban, and Magpul set out in search of a new home, possibly in Texas.

Another refugee is Kahr Arms of Rockland County, N.Y. Following New York’s enactment of the so-called S.A.F.E. Act, Kahr announced that it would be moving some of its operations from the Empire State to more gun–friendly Pennsylvania. Prior to New York’s new law, Kahr had been considering building a new facility, with 80-100 additional jobs, in Orange County, N.Y. When asked about the move by the Wall Street Journal, Kahr Vice President of Sales and Marketing Frank Harris said of New York, “We don’t feel welcome.”

PTR Industries, a maker of semiautomatic rifles in Bristol, Conn., has also chosen to move. In reaction to Connecticut’s recently enacted legislation, the company confirmed in June that it would be moving to Aynor, S.C. Similarly, fellow Connecticut gun maker Stag Arms and the Palmetto State have shown mutual interest.

Other manufacturers, such as Sturm, Ruger & Company and Beretta, have sought out firearm friendly states for their expansion plans, with Ruger opening a new plant in North Carolina. Even Remington, which has built firearms in Ilion, New York, for over 150 years, is reported to be looking to move part or all of that operation to a gun-friendly state.

Manufacturers looking to move or expand are in a buyer’s market, as several states have rolled out the welcome mat. Back in June, the Hartford Courant detailed recruiting trips by fervent gun rights supporter and shooter, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who were seeking to convince Connecticut manufacturers of the virtues of their states. Stag Arms CEO Mark Malkowski told a reporter for the National Review that the company had received “about one hundred offers” to relocate.

It is not surprising that the radical anti-gun legislatures and governors in these states failed to consider the impact these extreme new laws would have on businesses and the jobs they support. Restricting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans is a far more important goal to these politicians than protecting the jobs of their constituents. Fortunately, our federalist system gives people and businesses the opportunity to locate in states that continue to respect the individual rights of Americans and that best represent their economic interests.

Rep. Rangel Believe's Young People Shouldn't Have To Pay For College

Wow Charlie, way to fall in-line with the other liberal idiots. Obama's new education standards proposed earlier have him out saying "“There is no reason why a young person should have to pay for college education, because who does it benefit except a nation?" Well, that's actually false. That same person could move out of the US, to a country we perhaps don't like. And second, when did the American people become financially liable for people to go through college. We can't even balance our own budget for crying out loud! And Obama's reaction, is to add more and more to the deficit?!

And today's youth aren't exactly that motivated to study their butt off to pass everything in college. Some are there just for the parties and the fun of it. I personally do not want  to be on the paying end of this. This is a waste of my money, and money that people need. Salaries are down in this so-called recovery. And where has Obama proposed to get the money for this from? Oh wait, tax hikes on the rich (and everyone else).

From Daily Caller:

On Martin Bashir’s Thursday MSNBC program, New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel said that no students should have to pay for college.

Rangel was reacting to President Barack Obama’s higher education proposal rollout that would put in place requirements for students and institutions to receive federal financial aid assistance.

Rangel explained to fill-in host Joy Reid that he support Obama’s plan, particularly the accountability components.

“I think it’s exciting, and certainly it’s going to bring in accountability,” he said. “You know, we have universities scattered all over the world. Sometimes you think that tuition means nothing to a large group of people who pay these enormous salaries to college presidents. But if you’re talking about production, if you’re talking about what is the college really giving someone that doesn’t want a worldwide education, they just want to be able to compete. This makes sense.”

Rangel, however, told Reid those reforms alone weren’t enough and would offer college to Americans for free.

“But you know something, Joy?” Rangel continued. “There is no reason why a young person should have to pay for college education, because who does it benefit except a nation? Who are we competing against? Not ourselves, but China and other industrialized countries, they decide what they need, and they provide the incentives. Here we don’t have nurses and doctors, and then when a person gets out of health school, I mean out of medical school, they can’t get the money to pay off their debt. It doesn’t make sense.”

LACC Board: No Guns, Except For Theatrical Purposes

The Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustee's has ruled that there are to be no more guns on campus. Your only exemption from that rule? Using it for theatrical purposes. This means the only time you can have a gun is if it's for some show or "theatrical" purpose. Suppose a gun man were to enter the campus, and use it for the "theatrical" purpose of a "fake" shooting. No one else has a weapon to defend themselves with, so in the end, people die, while that technically falls under the rules.

From Daily Caller:

The board of trustees of Los Angeles Community College passed a resolution banning guns on campus, effectively ending a firearms training course that had been part of the college’s roster for years.
The ban applies to all nine of LACC’s campuses, and was enthusiastically backed by Board of Trustees Vice President Scott Svonkin.
“We should make sure that students don’t come to campus being afraid to run into somebody with a gun,” he said in a statement to Campus Reform.
Svonkin was happy to see the firearm training course go. Colleges should not teach students to use guns, he said. Rather, they should “promote gun control.”
The course was co-sponsored by the National Rifle Association, and has been taught for the past six years by instructor Gerry Koehler. Koehler did not respond to requests for comment, but his website gives his training philosophy as follows: “Don’t expect the police or the government to protect you. YOU are the only one that can protect you and your family. Learn how to do it right. Learn how to do it safely.”
Koehler sought authorization to use plastic toy guns in class, but these are specifically banned as well in the text of the board’s resolution.
Curiously, the resolution creates an exemption for weapons that are used in “theatrical performances.” Svonkin did not respond to a request for comment as to the meaning of this exemption.
Koeher said that College President Kathleen Burke forbid even the use of the word “gun” on campus, according to an interview with Campus Reform.
“She said they are not allowed to even have the mention of the world ‘gun’ in their campus catalog,” he said.
Svonkin openly accused the NRA and the firearms training course of endangering the campus.
“I believe that the NRA’s goal is to promote gun ownership, and that guns lead to deaths,” he said. “So, not having the NRA teach classes, not having the NRA classes on our campuses, is a good thing. I’m much happier with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department protecting our students and our staff and our faculty than having some random person who took a three-hour class and thinks that they’re Dirty Harry.”
The ban is in part a response to a shooting at Santa Monica College in June. A gunman, John Zawahri, allegedly shot his father and brother in their home, forced a motorist to drive him to the campus, and then opened fire on random people. Santa Monica College was a gun-free zone at the time. It is unclear whether LACC trustees believe that establishing a gun-free zone would deter a mass shooter from entering their campus.

Everyone, repeat after me: The NRA promotes Gun Safety. They provide Gun Safety courses so you can learn to defend you, your family, or anyone.

And furthermore, these are the same kinds of leftists that scream at the Police at Occupy rallies, then demand the police protect them from everything. I mean, it's not like there's any kind of wait time with the police. They can just zap to your position, and defend you with... their gun. Similar to a gun that you could have bought, learned to use, and had with you at a moments notice. No reliance on anyone else.

I also hope they realize they'll be painting a big target on the campus if they declare it a "Gun-Free" zone. Those definitely work. Remember Aurora, CO... wait, they didn't work there. How's about that mall outside of Portland OR where the gunman had just entered... wait, that was stopped by a good guy with a gun. The point here, is that those "Gun-Free" zones, fail miserably.

In Obama's America, 3x4 Does Equal 11.

I'm gonna give a shout out to Common Core, and what a tremendous failure it's going to be. We've got new education standards that'll be comparable to No Child Left Behind, but I think it'll be worse. Worse, as in the fact that you can now argue with a teacher that your wrong answer is right, according to your reasoning.

Yep. If you can now explain your reasoning to your teacher about how you got your wrong answer, then that teacher will accept it as a right answer. It no longer matters if you get it wrong. You can now appeal your case to your teacher. It looks like it no longer matters if you get a right answer. As longer as you now can put up a good argument, you can be right and still wrong.

Is it me, or is Progressivism becoming more and more rediculous? This is a joke. The right answer is and cannot be up for debate. If your wrong, your wrong, whether you like it or not. Progressives have adopted this mindset that if they can get this implemented, it'll help people. But in reality, this will only hurt people.

You cannot expect to have a good education system, where the right answer is always debatable with a completely wrong answer. That's not how it works in reality. You can manipulate the numbers, make everything seem okay on paper. This, to them, seems like a good thing, in theory, but like Obamacare, it's a trainwreck. It's doomed to fail. Just watch it.

Portland Residents Banned From Carrying Loaded Guns In Public Places

Gun lovers and constitutionalists, it's time we had a look at this little gem. The city of Portland, OR passed a resolution that would ban residents from carrying a loaded weapon in public places.

This was a small while ago, and of course, it was taken to court. Any infringement of any Constitutional Amendment deserves a day (and more) in court. The Oregon Supreme Court finally took up the matter, and they reviewed it. They came back and declared it to be, sadly, constitutional.

I don't know, perhaps they don't know what "shall not be infringed" means. I, and many others, find this to be very clear. You cannot infringe on gun rights. Period. There is no "but", "or", or "if". There cannot be any infringement on the 2nd Amendment.

Liberals love safety. So much so that they entrust the government to protect them from everything. But what they don't realize is that the government cannot always be there to protect them. The police cannot protect you from everything.

Hypothetical Situation: Someone has broken into your house. It's 2am, and it's dark. You call the police, and they tell you they're on their way </end>. Now, if you were a liberal, you might be hiding somewhere, hoping the cops show up soon, and cart off that pesky robber or murderer lurking around your house for something valuable or your life. Now, if you were a conservative, libertarian, or somehow a pro-gun Dem, you might be ready to fire off a few rounds the moment you get a clear shot or a good view.

The thing with liberals is that they never realize that by banning guns, you make things more dangerous. They'll tell you it'll make things safer, that criminals can't get their hands on guns now. But, in reality, criminals keep getting their guns from backroom dealers and street dealers. They simply don't go to a store for them. That'd be stupid.

The reason why Aurora was so bloody was because no one was able to defend themselves or shoot back. Remember, the movie theatre was a "gun-free zone". A sign will not save you. A sign is only there to portray a message, and people don't care about that message sometimes.

I'd expect Portland residents to be outraged by this. Liberals are taking away freedoms and liberties, then they cry about how conservatives are out to take away freedoms and liberties. There is no reasoning with these idiots. I want people in Portland to demand this be repealed. Do it for the vulnerable kids in public. Do it for the vulnerable senior walking through the park. Do it so people can be safer again.

Lib Judge Strikes Down OK's New Anti-Sharia Law

Of course she's a liberal. They're the only kind of people that'd do this out of "Political Correctness". Recently, Oklahoma (one of the reddest states in the country) passed a new amendment to it's Constitution that Sharia law (Islamic Law) cannot be used in any way in their courts. Sounds good to me. Only American laws should be applied in American courts.

Now, this judge,Vicki Miles-LaGrange, takes it upon herself to toss this into the trash. According to the Tulsa World:

An Oklahoma constitutional amendment that would bar the state’s courts from considering or using Sharia law was ruled unconstitutional Thursday by a federal judge in Oklahoma City.

In finding the law in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause, U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange issued a permanent injunction prohibiting the certification of the results of the state question that put the Sharia law ban into the state constitution.

“While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the Court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual’s constitutional rights,” the judge wrote.

Now, nit-picking this isn't even necessary. The judge ultimately gives herself the mindset of a person that knows what's best for everyone. The judge thinks this is violating some one's rights, but in reality, and not her liberal, nannyist fantasy land, this was meant to protect people's rights.

Sharia law should not and can not be used in this land. Our laws are so much different from Sharia. Accepting Sharia law in our courts, US courts, just to please a few Muslims so they can manipulate America into what they envision is a dangerous thing. Judges are idiots when they consider someone else's law, especially when it's not the law of this land.

You can call me a bigot and an islamophobic idiot all you want, but when you start seeing Sharia Law used in our courts more and more often (as if the courts weren't abused enough), you'll start whining about the unfairness of it. They won't care by then. Their transformation of America will be too far along to easily stop it. And they won't care about it's "unfairness".

Just look at all the Islamic countries in the Middle East. Do they care about minority rights? Do they care about what they do to people of another religion? NO! That's why you see Muslims in Egypt burning Churches (for other reasons too). That's why you see Muslims burning churches in other Islamic countries. That's why you see Muslims angry when people don't abide by Sharia Law. That's why Gay's are lynched in many of those countries too. If your a pro-homosexuality kind of person, go to Iran or Saudi Arabia, and see how long you last. I doubt it'll be long when you start talking.

I don't know what this judge was thinking, but in doing this, she opened the door for more court abuse the state of Oklahoma doesn't need. Oklahoma is still trying to recover from that devastating tornado months ago. They don't need someone to come to their state, and force laws from another country onto them. That's not what they need. I read this judge's wiki page, and there was a state senator calling for her impeachment. I fully support you in your endeavors, you brave Senator, and I wish you good luck.

Million Muslim March Planned In DC On 9/11

Oh boy, won't this be an interesting thing. So, we have a group, called the American Muslim Political Action Committee (think AIPAC but for Muslims). They've decided to get 1 million Muslims to gather in Washington D.C., and demand their rights be protected. Well yes, their rights are in danger. It's not like the liberals, the nanny statists, and the everyday-bureaucrat and their agenda are gonna just effect one specific group.

Now, the problem I really have with this. The day it's supposed to be held on means a lot to people. It's scheduled for September 11th. I mean, it's not like a horrific event even happened that day period (end sarcasm). This is a day when people take a moment to remember what Islamic Extremists caused. This is the day when people remember family members, friends and people lost that day.

This is a day people don't wish to have interrupted, especially by a protest like this. This is the kind of protest that makes me get a headache. And in all reality, this isn't going to be 1 million Muslims. This is gonna be 1 million truthers, non-Muslims, islamists, and maybe there actually will be a few Muslims.

It's funny though, because they're demanding that we protect their rights to free speech and free religion, yet if you go to any country in the Middle East (excluding Israel), there is no free speech, and there is no freedom of religion. People who speak against Islam, or those who are Christian or Jewish or of any other faith are harped on by their government, and occasionally killed. Wanna be gay in the Middle East? Are you prepared to be killed for it, cause they will do that to you there?

It's funny when Muslims ans Liberals demand their freedoms be protected, and then they turn around and demand "hate speech" be banned because they're offended. In case they haven't realized it, they cannot demand free speech for themselves, then turn around and have the things they hate banned. That's hypocritical. That makes you look stupidly idiotic. As for the march, I'd ask the organizers to reconsider, or move to another day. Their choice of date is, in reality, ridiculous, and is going to make a bunch of people pissed off.

CA Gov Allows Transgendered Students Access To Any Bathroom Or Sports Team

Do you live in California? You a student in a public school? Play on a sports team there as well? Things are about to get a bit interesting for you. Gov. Jerry Brown signed new legistlation into law, allowing transgendered students to be able to choose whichever bathroom they choose, join whichever sports team they choose (male or female), and join any program they wish for their new gender identity.

So, are you prepared for the comings of this new law? Think about how the this will be taken in by kids in high school? Let's have a look. With society in it's current state, there wouldn't be any possibility that some kid will take this a different way, and use this for their own purposes. I think the perverts will love this. They can go into whatever school bathroom they wish, and they're free to almost have their way.

From Daily Caller:

Transgendered students in California will now have the right to use whichever bathrooms they prefer and join either the boys’ or girls’ sports teams, thanks to landmark legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday.

The law amends the state’s education code, and stipulates that each student will have access to facilities, sports teams, and programs that are “consistent with his or her gender identity,” rather than the student’s actual biological composition. A male student who self-identifies as female could therefore use the girls’ bathroom, even if he is anatomically male.

Though the debate over accommodating transgendered students’ needs has ramped up recently — with several high-profile cases attracting media scrutiny — California is the first state to address the issue with statewide legal action.

“I’m so excited that California is making sure transgender students have a fair chance to graduate and succeed,” said Calen Valencia, an 18-year-old transgender student, in a statement. “I should have graduated this year, but my school refused to give me the same opportunity to succeed as other boys. Now other transgender youth won’t have to choose between being themselves and graduating high school.”

The legislation was sponsored by Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, who said that it will make school life easier for transgendered kids.

A spokesperson for Ammiano admitted that the bill would irk some parents who do not want their kids sharing bathrooms with members of the opposite sex.

“Clearly, there are some parents who are not going to like it,” said Carlos Alcala, a spokesperson for Ammiano, in a statement to San Jose Mercury News. “We are hopeful school districts will work with them so no students are put in an uncomfortable position.”

Wait, how does this have anything to do with graduating high school? How does not being able to use the bathroom you want effect that? How does not being able to play on the sports team of your new gender effect graduating? If I'm right, graduation depends solely on... wait for it... GRADES!!!!!! Those mystical numbers and letters teachers hand out in classes to you.

Not being able to choose your bathroom or sports team doesn't effect your grades. Your work in a class and how you perform do though. So, if your out lobbying your state legistlature to pass such a bill like this, and not focusing on the important things (i.e. passing high school), then you have some messed up priorities.
