“CLUELESS”

Not Obama’s Most Empathetic Moment

Showing ID to Vote: Big Problem, To Buy Beer: No Problem

According to Jesse Jackson, Senator Bill Nelson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, Eric Holder, and many other democrats, having to show ID in order to vote is discrimination and disenfranchisement. Then by the same token why are they not complaining and marching against having to show your ID in these situations?

And oh yeah, we had to produce a certified copy of my grandson’s birth certificate before the Alachua County school system would register him for school.

Obama Presidency by the Numbers

Barack Obama:  “If I don’t have this done in 3 years, then it’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

House chairman: Obama uncle’s got ‘backdoor amnesty’

Question:  What do you get if you’ve lived in the United States illegally for over nineteen years, have been told to leave by ICE and have failed to do so, are arrested for drunk driving and other charges, and are the uncle of a very famous Democrat, namely, President Barack Obama?

Answer:  Amnesty.

From washingtontimes.com:  The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Friday that President Obama’s half-uncle, an illegal immigrant who was picked up but has reportedly been released from jail, appears to have benefited from the new “backdoor amnesty” the administration announced last month.

From “It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama’s family and one for everyone else,” Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said. “Last year, President Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving.”  Read more at washingtontimes.com

Obama’s Agenda: Overwhelm the System ………………………. by Wayne Allyn Root

Rahm Emanuel cynically said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.” It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

– Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care.  It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

– Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”

– Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?  Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

– Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.  Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

– Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.

– Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.

Anchor Babies and the Fourteenth Amendment

Of all the injustices to Americans brought on by illegal immigration one of the worst is the granting of “automatic” citizenship to babies of illegal aliens who are born in the United States.  Continue reading on CommonSensePost.com

Arizona to Appeal Immigration Ruling to U.S. Supreme Court

 

PHOENIX—Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced Monday she will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that put the most controversial parts of the state’s immigration enforcement law on hold.

The planned appeal to the high court comes after Ms. Brewer lost an initial appeal April 11, when a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reverse a lower court’s order that prevented key parts of the law known as SB1070 from being enforced.  Read the full story in the Wall Street Journal.

E-Verify ***** ACTION NEEDED NOW ***** E-Verify

Please call and email Senate President Mile Haridopolis and all 5 members of the Florida Senate Criminal Justice committee.  Phone numbers, email addresses, and talking points are at the end of this post

The Senate Judiciary Committee hurriedly passed a WATERED DOWN version of the E-Verify bill that would make using the E-Verify system optional and would allow employers to use a Florida Drivers License instead.

We need to contact the members of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee ASAP and tell them that this is unacceptable and to pass a Senate bill that contains the same language as the House (Rep. William Snyder) bill.  This will be the next committee to vote on the E-Verify bill.  I was just told by an aide to Senator Christopher Smith, a member of the committee, that they will vote on Wed., April 6^th.

Senate Judiciary Panel Quickly OKs Immigration Bill Amid Controversy

Kenric Ward’s blog | Posted: April 4, 2011 5:26 PM
Senate Republicans hailed the Judiciary Committee for passing “the first significant step in stopping illegal immigration in Florida,” but others begged to differ after the panel’s hurried vote on Monday.

Late amendments to Senate Bill 2040 created a loophole in the E-Verify legislation — a move that dilutes the original measure, and could sink it altogether.

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry – Murdered in Line of Duty

From Tea Party Nation:

• Posted by Judson Phillips on December 23, 2010 at 4:40pm in Discussions
• Send Message View Discussions

Last week, United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.  He was murdered in the line of duty.  He was trailing bandits in the lawless desert area of Arizona.    That particular area is lawless because our Federal government will not protect the border or enforce our laws.

Agent Terry was taken back to Detroit to be laid to rest.  In what can only be described as a brazen act of Chutzpah, Homeland Security Clown in Chief Janet Napolitano attended the funeral and met with the family.

Under ordinary circumstances, that would be the decent thing to do.   Our circumstances are not ordinary.

Agent Terry’s father, Kent Terry told Napolitano to “wake your man up in the White House.”  To which Napolitano is reported to have said, he has done more in two years than any other president.  I really doubt anyone would have faulted the man for decking her right then and there.

The Terry family has justifiably complained that the government has done nothing to secure the border and by extension, Brian Terry’s death was not only needless but avoidable.   They are right.

The media accosted the Clown of Homeland Security after the funeral and asked her about the Terry family’s anger over this.  Napolitano said, this isn’t the time to talk about this issue.

If not now, when?

The answer is, the time is never.  The Obama regime does not want to talk about this issue.  They do not want to talk about the fact they refuse to secure the border.  They do not want to talk about the fact they do not enforce our immigration laws.  They do not want to talk about the fact they want to grant amnesty to twenty or thirty million illegal aliens, despite the fact Americans overwhelmingly object to this.

This regime does not care about what the American people want.

A couple of years ago, Democrat strategist James Carvell wrote a book, which he subtitled “How the Democrats will Rule for 40 years.”  He may not have intended it that way, but his words have become partially accurate.  The Obama regime does not govern a republic.  It rules.  It does not care about the rule of law or the will of the people.  It only cares about achieving its goals. Unfortunately for America, those goals include the destruction of freedom and liberty.

In just a shade over two years, the Obama regime will be sent packing.   We can only hope that a new Attorney General will investigate the willful malfeasance of the members of the Obama regime and hopefully indictments would follow such an investigation.

In the meanwhile, the blood of United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and a lot of other Americans is on the hands of Obama, Napolitano and the other members of his regime.

Those are tough words, but the problem is, the Obama regime does not care.

CAREFUL: DREAM Act is Not Gone!

NumbersUSA.com puts out this ALERT:

PRO-AMNESTY FORCES ARE PUTTING HEAVY PRESSURE
ON FLORIDA’S U.S. SEN. LE MIEUX TODAY

GIVE HIM A PHONE CALL OF SUPPORT

Sen. LeMieux (R-Fla.) is one of a handful of Senators whom Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) hopes to change in time for a DREAM Act amnesty vote later this week.

The thinking of Reid and the massive pro-amnesty lobbying empire is that LeMieux will be willing to vote FOR the amnesty after the tax agreement passes.

Frank Sharry, the mastermind of the amnesty lobbies, is saying:

“As DREAM moves to the Senate, all eyes shift toward Sen. George LeMieux, who has voiced sympathy for DREAM-eligible youth but so far refused to pledge to vote for this legislation. LeMieux and his Republican colleagues in the Senate now have a rare opportunity they can stand up for young people who are Americans in all but paperwork, or slam the door shut on the best and the brightest of the immigrant community.”

Sharry is the head of America’s Voice which is mobilizing Floridians to persuade Sen. LeMieux to follow the lead of the three Florida Republicans who were 3 of the 8 Republicans nationwide who voted YES on the amnesty in the House last Wednesday.

Our NumbersUSA team was certain that Sen. LeMieux would have voted against the amnesty last Thursday when Sen. Reid abruptly moved to table the amnesty in order to try to gain a few more votes in the final week. That was an admission of Reid that our NumbersUSA team was correct the night before in saying that we had enough NO votes to defeat the amnesty on Thursday.

But conditions can change in a week’s time.

Please call one of Sen. LeMieux’s offices with just a quick message in the order of:

• Thanks for OPPOSING the DREAM Act amnesty.
• The Senator is certainly right to reject a big amnesty that has ZERO provisions for cutting off jobs that will attract millions more illegal foreign workers while 22 million Americans can’t find a job.HERE ARE THE PHONE NUMBERS:Tampa, FL
  ph: 813-977-6450 adr: 3802 Spectrum Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33612

  Washington, DC
  ph: 202-224-3041 adr: U.S. Senate, Washington, DC 205100001

  Coral Gables, FL
  ph: 305-418-8553 adr: 8669 NW 36th St.,, Coral Gables, FL 33166

  Jacksonville, FL

  Pensacola, FL
  ph: 850-433-2603 adr: 1 N. Palafox St., Pensacola, FL 32502

  If you don’t call with encouragement to stick with his plans to vote NO, he is likely to hear only from hundreds of pro-amnesty activists today. Please let him know what most Floridians want.

DREAM Act-Take the Poll

A CBS poll about the immigration DREAM Act.  Take it and then check the results. Send it along to neighbors and friends.

“The American people did not vote for amnesty in this past election,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said Wednesday. “I think it’s clear, as Senator McCain said, the national consensus is and he’s accepted this, that we have to have lawfulness in the immigration system before we start giving millions amnesty–as this bill will do.”

Reid has vowed to bring the DREAM Act up for a vote in the lame duck session of the Senate. But it’s a heavy lift. For starters, Republicans say they will block any and all other legislation until the Bush tax cuts have been extended and the government, which runs out of money on Friday, has been funded. (The House on Wednesday afternoon passed a bill to fund the government through December 18th, and the Senate is expected to follow suit, but that’s not a permanent solution.)”

DREAM ACT: Can Florida Afford It?

Are Florida citizens ready to pay millions of dollars to support the DREAM Act? Are parents and their offspring willing to be crowded out of colleges and universities? Will the costs escalate far beyond the initial estimates as governmment programs always do? And, most importantly, where is it stated in the Constitution that it is our responsibility to take care of illegal immigrants? 

“The DREAM Act would cost Florida taxpayers an estimated $472 million more a year in college tuition subsidies while potentially crowding out citizens, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.”

Missouri:Proactive in Fighting Illegal Immigration

It appears that Arizona has company in its stance against illegal immigration.

“However, this week I want to talk about an issue that Missouri has already addressed in a variety of ways – the issue of illegal immigration. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines about Arizona’s new law aimed at dealing with those who enter our country illegally. It has been called the strictest immigration law in generations. While Missouri hasn’t gone to the same lengths as Arizona, our state has made significant policy changes that effectively deal with illegal immigrants who enter our state. Because of those changes, Missouri is ahead of the game when compared to many other states that are now dealing with this issue.”
