Illegal aliens dreams come true

Although the United State Congress killed the Obama Administration’s DREAM Act, the powers-that-be have found a way around that legality and thereby instituting what the Republicans are calling “backdoor amnesty.”

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Janet Napolitano has sent a letter to Senate Democrats stating that it would “enhance public safety” by focusing deportation efforts on those “who pose a threat.” DHS will now review all deportations of illegal immigrants on a case-by-case basis thus circumventing any laws designed to make sure those in the United States illegally are deported.

One of Obama’s toughest critics, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, said the move amounts to the administration implementing and immigration overhaul “via executive fiat.” Texas Republican Representative Michael McCaul said “It is just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton has instructed staff to consider 19 factors when exercising “prosecutorial discretion.” The list includes many of the factors listed in the DREAM Act that was not passed by Congress. In other words, if Congress won’t give the illegals a free pass then the President will just make an executive order.

By the way – one way to escape deportation is to pursue an education. Anyone want to guess who is probably picking up the tab for college education of those who will now get amnesty?

No words can express this sacrifice

It was always beyond belief to me how the Japanese could treat the survivors this way and then bleat about unfair Hiroshima was....

A wake up call

Okay – now it is time to go for the wrath of the Tea Party loyalists

Many in the Tea Party movement will swear allegiance to only Tea Party candidates.

First of all, without nationwide endorsements, how do we identify the Tea Party Candidates? We can only assume Tea Party IDEALS in candidates. The Republican Party has many candidates vying for the Republican Presidential nomination and many of them are claiming to hold Tea Party ideals. There is no Tea Party ticket and no true Tea Party candidate. We must each do our homework and find out who best represents those ideals we want in a presidential candidate.

Second, and this is where I will get the hate mail, even a non-Tea Party type of Republican candidate will be better than our current president. While many will swear that the only person deserving of a vote is a candidate upholding those principles of the Tea Party, in the long run, withholding a vote or voting out of spite will only insure that Barack Obama gets another four years in the White House. Considering the harm he has done to our country in the past three years, one can only imagine what devious schemes he has in store for the United States if left in power.

Primaries are important in that, hopefully, we can winnow down to the best candidates for public office. Unfortunately sometimes we don’t get the best but get what is served to us. It is necessary that we all become involved in elections, learn about candidates, campaign for the best, and encourage others to vote. And although closed primaries are restrictive (voters can only vote in primaries as registered Democrats or registered Republicans), not allowing the opposing party to chose our candidates for us is important. There have been many primary elections ‘won’ by someone running for office because they were deemed the weaker candidate and a candidate who could be beaten in a general election.

Politics is dirty. Sometimes all the candidates stink. In that case, we must hold our nose and vote for the one who is the least offensive. To sit at home and petulantly refuse to vote for anyone only allows someone like Barack Obama a win.

Free Enterprise....Some Humor



The  Haircut

 
        One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.

 After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

 When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

 Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.

 The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

 Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.

 The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.

 And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.


 BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME
 REASON!
