Truth

There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.

Beatle Maniac

Pro-SB1070 Rally in 107 Degree Heat!! (don’t expect this on any National Leftist Media):
http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_phoenix_metro/central_phoenix/rally-to-hit-capitol-in-favor-of-arizona-immigration-law
****
Sir Paul McCartney’s cheap shot aimed at former President George W. Bush at a White House event on Wednesday has prompted House Minority Leader John Boehner to demand an apology from the Beatle. McCartney literally gushed over President Obama throughout his East Room concert.  “Getting this prize would just be good enough, but getting it from this president…” McCartney said letting his praise trail off as if there were vast volumes left unsaid.
The prize McCartney was given is the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Library of Congress.
McCartney ended the evening taking a baseless cheap shot at former President George W. Bush.
“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.
When did decorum go out of style?
Decorum from the Left, even the British Left, why? They’re too full of their own greatness for that!
We all know the first rule of polite society: If you can’t think of something nice to say about someone, don’t say anything at all. In certain bien pensant circles, however, there is a corollary: If you can’t think of anything nice to say — say something bad about George W. Bush.

And the more juvenile it is, the better.
“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS.  “I hope he’ll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.” McCartney is the third recipient of the Gershwin Prize. Hailing from England and having earned no university degrees of his own, the Beatle may not know W. was the first American president to earn a master’s degree in business administration. (The fact the MBA is from Harvard really irks the left.) Not to mention Bush is married to a librarian.
Beatlejuice not Beetlemania would be preferable.
But anyone who has read very many of my blogs or been to message boards where the Left hangs out know all about the Narcissistic Personality Disorders that thrive on the Left.
And the immature, kindergarten-level cheap shots passed off as clever and witty, and oh so, wonderful.
But Bush Derangement Syndrome from a Brit is interesting.
The Bush administration oversaw creation of a federal grant program to train a new generation of librarians. It’s called the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and it has awarded $130 million to date. During Bush’s presidency, federal funding for public libraries grew from $163.2 million per year to $212.2 million per year – a 30 percent increase.
In mocking the boorishness of a former U.S. president, Sir Paul, and those who roared at his remark, unfortunately demonstrated their own.
But, as we (who are not Liberals) know, facts almost never, ever matter to Liberals. Especially, if it gets in the way of their agenda or gets in the way of a snarky dig at Bush or a Republican, but especially George W. Bush.
While I was not the greatest of  fans of Bush, mostly because in his last years he was the Fiscal Socialist that the Democrats were and that was just wrong and helped cause this mess in the first place.
But Liberals are all about “civility” when it’s about them, but when it’s not, they are the most uncivil of political animals.
You’re supposed to cut them a break, it’s not big deal, when it’s them.
But when it’s not, it’s the End of Civilization as they want it so they come at you like a mob of self-important raptors to tear you to pieces and civility is the very last thing they will give you.
Paul McCartney should take this “sad song and make it better” by heeding the opening lyrics of his song “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” (“We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert. We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain”) and issue a public apology to President Bush and the American people.
But you know he won’t and the Left will be left snickering like kids on a playground, “Did you you hear what Paul said…” heehehehehehehehehehehehe… :(

Where Mexico Stands

Where Mexico Stands

June 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment · Edit This

Just in case you wanted to know where Mexico stands in regards to “helping” with Border Security and the flood of  Illegal Aliens into the US, just read the following. Try not to pull your hair out (I don’t have a lot left to worry about).
The Mexican government is opening a satellite consular office on Catalina Island — a small resort off the California coast with a history of drug smuggling and human trafficking — to provide the island’s illegal Mexican immigrants with identification cards, The Washington Examiner has learned.
The Mexican consular office in Los Angeles issued a flier, a copy of which was obtained by The Examiner, listing the Catalina Island Country Club as the location of its satellite office. It invites Mexicans to visit the office to obtain the identification, called matricular cards, by appointment.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican whose district includes Catalina Island, said handing out matricular cards will exacerbate an already dangerous situation.
“Handing out matricular cards to Mexicans who are not in this country legally is wrong no matter where it’s done,” he said. “But on Catalina it will do more damage. It’s a small island but there’s evidence it’s being used as a portal for illegals to access mainland California.”
Rohrabacher added, “If there were a large number of Americans illegally in Mexico and the U.S. consulate was making it easier for them to stay, Mexico would never permit it.”
Mexican officials with the consular office in Los Angeles could not be reached immediately for comment. The matricular consular identification card, is issued by the Mexican government to Mexican nationals residing outside the country, regardless of immigration status. The purpose is to provide identification for opening bank accounts and obtaining other services. But the cards are usually used to skirt U.S. immigration laws, since Mexicans in the country legally have documents proving that status, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
In 2004 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI officials called the card an unreliable form of identification. The agency said that Mexico lacks a centralized database for them, which could lead to forgery, duplication, and other forms of abuse.
Officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said their agency was asked by Mexican officials not to enforce U.S. immigration laws on the island while the cards were being issued.
“It amazes me every time that the Mexican government has the gall to tell us what to do,” said an ICE official, who asked not to be named. “More surprisingly is how many times we stand by and let them. This is just an example of one of hundreds of requests we’ve had to deal with.”
Well, you’re a “racist” if you don’t do exactly as the Mexican Government says, or La Raza, or the Hispanic Caucus, et al. :)
In April, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies seized a boat carrying large quantities of marijuana and detained three Mexican nationals who said they were being smuggled into the United States.
The island has a sizable Mexican migrant population. Most are undocumented low-income workers. (Washington Examiner)
But if you do anything about it, YOU”RE A RACIST!! :(
Well, when reports show that Mexico’s 2nd largest economic engine is illegal alien patronage money you get the idea that they have no incentive to do anything about it.
Which should gall you even more when you consider what ass kissing the media and Obama did when Mexican President Calderon came here and berated us!
But I’m just a humble “racist” “teabagger”… :)

I'm Too Busy...

It’s Memorial Day.

The day we are supposed to thank those men and women brave enough to sacrifice their lives so that people like me can blog and willfully ignorant and arrogant Liberals can continue to lie.

I say, thank you.

We need more people like that.

But what we don’t need is more ignorance and political grandstanding.

But this the Obama Administration. What else could you expect.

President Obama has turned down Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s request to meet while she’s in Washington next week as tensions mount between his administration and Arizona over the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants.

Brewer will be in Washington to meet with other governors. She said Friday that she had asked to meet with Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to discuss border security and immigration. But Obama’s schedule “doesn’t allow for a meeting” with her, White House spokesman Adam Abrams said, adding that the president “does intend to sit down with the governor in the future.”

When Obama returns from his Chicago vacation on Tuesday, he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Peru President Alan Garcia at the White House. On Wednesday, Obama is meeting with Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, before heading to an event in Pittsburgh and hosting a concert at the White House to honor Paul McCartney.

On Thursday, Obama will speak at Secretary Clinton’s reception for a new partnership between U.S. and India. On Friday, the president will welcome the Major League Soccer men’s championship team, Real Salt Lake, to the White House.


I’m sorry, I can’t meet with you tonight, I have to get my hair done and play Beatles Rock Band with my kids.

The apparent snub comes after Justice Department officials told Arizona’s attorney general and aides to the governor Friday that the federal government has serious reservations about the state’s new immigration law. They responded that a lawsuit against the state isn’t the answer.


“I told them we need solutions from Washington, not more lawsuits,” said Attorney General Terry Goddard, a Democrat.

And Terry “The Tool” is against the law to begin with and was thrown off the legal team by Brewer. Well, it’s nearly impossible to believe Terry Goddard would have the balls to go against his Homo Sapien Liberalis kin and do his job properly.

But our Governor won’t get the light of day from the Liberal Political Elite.

Their too busy with their Agenda and their sanctimony.

But when a Terrorist comes across the border and kills people, they will have been their since “Day One”. Just watch for it! :)

But instead we get this kind of crap:

“The law signed by Brewer of Arizona is just like the German Nazi laws that make Jews scared to go out on the streets. We have to smash their business agreements in the nose. We have to declare war on Arizona.”
— Ricardo Rocha, journalist and TV presenter, said of the immigration law (TIME, April 28, 2010)

Teachable Moment:

A “Terry Stop” is a stop of a person by law enforcement officers based upon “reasonable suspicion” that a person may have been engaged in criminal activity, whereas an arrest requires “probable cause” that a suspect committed a criminal offense. The name comes from the standards established in a 1968 case, Terry v. Ohio.


The issue in the case was whether police should be able to detain a person and subject him to a limited search for weapons without probable cause for arrest. The Court held that police may conduct a limited search of a person for weapons that could endanger the officer or those nearby, even in the absence of probable cause for arrest and any weapons seized may be introduced in evidence.


When a police officer observes unusual conduct which leads him or her to reasonably suspect criminal activity may be occurring and that the persons with whom he is dealing may be armed and presently dangerous, the officer might approach and briefly detain the subjects for the purpose of conducting a limited investigation. The officer must identify himself or herself as a police officer and may make reasonable inquiries. If after initial investigation the officer still has a reasonable fear for the safety of himself and others, the officer may conduct a carefully limited search of the outer clothing in an attempt to discover weapons that might be used to assault him or her.

Oh no! Racial Profiling!! :(

And then there’s The Ministry of Truth:

“Day of outrage, anger on the streets of Phoenix and across this country tonight,” ABC anchor David Muir declared, pleading: “Will an army of protesters be heard?” Reporter Jeremy Hubbard began his story for World News: “In their most massive numbers yet, a deluge of adversaries rally and rail against what could soon be the law of the land in Arizona.”

Will the 7,000 a t Tempe Diablo Stadium in support of the law be noticed??

Will the LA Times wonder about a poll they did where they misstated the Law and still 50% of the people supported it!

From the Los Angeles Times: “50% of registered voters surveyed said they support the law, which compels police to check the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally, while 43% oppose it… Strong majorities of white voters and those over 50 support the Arizona law, while Latinos and those under 30 are heavily opposed.”

Even though that misstates the law (see Terry Stop) the race baiters lost.

Whoops!

But will the Ministry of Truth Media notice?

Yeah, right…as if…

Liberals and the Open Borders crowd are too busy pushing their agenda to care what the truth really is.

They want to tell you what it is, for them.

And that’s enough.

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

So here’s another one you won’t likely here much about:

ZAPATA, Texas (AP) – The waters of Falcon Lake normally beckon boaters with waterskiing and world-record bass fishing. But this holiday weekend, fishermen on the waters that straddle the U.S.-Mexico border are on the lookout for something more sinister: pirates.


Twice in recent weeks, fishermen have been robbed at gunpoint by marauders that the local sheriff says are “spillover” from fighting between rival Mexican drug gangs.


Boaters are concerned about their safety, and the president of the local Chamber of Commerce is trying to assure people that everything’s fine on the U.S. side of the lake.


At the fishing camp his family has owned for 50 years, Jack Cox now sleeps with a loaded shotgun at his feet and a handgun within reach.


In the American waters, Cox said, “you’re safer, but you’re not safe.” Mexican commercial fishermen regularly cross to set their nets illegally, why wouldn’t gunmen do the same? he asked.


Two weeks ago, the Texas Department of Public Safety warned boaters to avoid the international boundary that zig-zags through the lake, which is 25 miles long and 3 miles across at its widest point. Authorities also urged anyone on the water to notify relatives of their boating plans to aid law enforcement in case of trouble.


Since issuing the warning, most boats have stayed on the U.S. side.


“That’s a good indication. It means they’re getting the message,” Texas Parks and Wildlife Capt. Fernando Cervantes said Thursday as he patrolled with two other game wardens. “They’re still coming out, but they’re not going across.”


The border is marked by 14 partially submerged concrete towers that mark the Rio Grande’s path before the lake was created in 1954.

Rejoice, The Media is there to cover “The News”. :(

It's Mexican Fiesta Day!

In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona’s law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to “criminalize migration.” The United States and Mexico share a significant economic and political relationship that stands to be damaged the more the nations are at odds over immigration, which affects millions of people on both sides of the border.
Obama sought to show that he, too, is fed up with his own government’s failure to fix a system widely seen as broken. He said that would require solving border security, employment and citizenship issues all at once – the kind of effort that collapsed in Congress just three years ago.

It’s  called “COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM”  aka AMNESTY!

Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona’s law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to “criminalize migration.”
The fact that coming here Illegal is a crime is lost on the Pro-Illegal crowd.
And that this is the president of the main country practically throwing his citizens at us.
And who get’s an estimated $1 Billion dollars from illegals sending money back to Mexico.
Oh, the sanctimony of it all.

“In the United States of America, no law-abiding person – be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico – should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like,” Obama said.
The ignorance or the law would be sad, if it wasn’t so willfully done.
But the liberals and the Pro-Illegal crowd have no intention of actually reading the law. Why spoil a good “moral outrage” with facts. :(


Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in Washington D.C., meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but his deputy chief of staff issued the following statement: “The mayor stands strongly behind the city council and he will not respond to threats from the state that has isolated itself from an America that values freedom, liberty and basic civil rights.”
<>

Then there’s the poser Michael Posner, who several days go apologized to the Chinese for the AZ Immigration law.
Well, he has gone into full political weasel mode ” Posner also told Foreign Policy’s blog The Cable that his remarks were taken out of context. He said the “broader context” was that the issue was raised to discuss the “political openness of this society.” He said he “should have been clearer,” but that “we never did get into the merits of the Arizona law.
Deep Fat Fried Weasel Feast, Table One!!! :)
Politicians only use “misspoke” “misquoted” and “out of context” when they get their private parts caught in the cookie.
jar and someone catches them.
So maybe, Mr. Posner if ACTUALLY READ the law maybe you wouldn’t take IT “out of context” either.
That will never happen.
It would spoil the liberals “moral outrage” and their sanctimony feast.
*******
More high school hilarity from the Left:
There’s nothing wrong with the fact Debra Blessman kept secret from her students the name of the film she would require them to watch and analyze during finals week at Francis Howell High School. Today, however, the teacher might be wishing she had not kept her superiors in the St. Charles, Mo., school district in the dark about it. She planned to base final exams on the Michael Moore film, “Sicko“.
Apparently, however, Blessman did not expect any of her students to raise objections about the film. But one did.
On the morning of May 11, soon after learning about the film’s selection as the basis for the final exam in Blessman’s class, 18-year-old senior Celeste Finkenbine went straight to one of the school’s principals to raise her objections. Why? Because, based on her experiences with Blessman this semester and during a class three years earlier, Finkenbine didn’t think she would get very far pleading her case with the teacher she describes as a liberal.
When I contacted Dr. Renee Shuster, superintendent of the Francis Howell School District, she admitted the movie is not part of any district curriculum and that the teacher did not follow the process for having the film approved in advance. She also said that Finkenbine had been offered an alternative assignment that involves reading and analyzing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 7,000-word essay, “A Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”
It’s somewhat ironic that Finkenbine’s alternative assignment relates to Dr. King, because it was during a recent class discussion that King’s name came up and, according to Finkenbine, her teacher laid her liberal cards out on the table.
Finkenbine said that, after she compared her participation in Tea Party rallies with the civil disobedience in which Dr. King participated, Blessman responded to her by saying, “Well, we all know you’re a ‘teabagger.’”
Afterward, Finkenbine recalled, the teacher started laughing and everyone in the class started laughing about Blessman’s use of the derogatory term, prompting the student to think, “Wow! Did she really just say that?”
Having heard this account of life in Blessman’s classroom, I contacted Dr. Shuster again.
In addition to wanting to find out how district officials would deal with the teacher for using a film that was not approved in advance, I wanted to know how they would address Finkenbine’s allegation that the teacher called her a “teabagger” in front of the class.
Schuster responded by e-mail, saying, “We would address this through the teacher evaluation process which hopefully leads to improvement but can lead to termination.”
Translation:   Nothing!
Unfortunately, it appears all of the other students in Blessman’s class ended up having to watch and analyze “Sicko”. (Biggovernment.com)
But don’t worry, your little cherubs of joy won’t be indoctrinated to be socialist when they grow up.
After all, that’s why they President was appealing some weeks ago to Minorities and young people ONLY for support.
And the divide and conquer Race War that Democrats have started and continue to pour Napalm on is just them being “morally outraged” ,”compassionate” and “sensitive” to the needs of people.
