Now you 'Conservatives' are scaring me! NEWT???? UGHHHHH

2012-01-27T17:54:00.000-08:00

Someone asked me who I'm going to vote for, Santorum or Paul. Newt never had a consideration for those of us with a MEMORY. Mitt gets more confusing as he goes along.

I think Santorum and Newt will ally before it's over.

Probably Paul...he puts things down to their basics.

Like in the CNN debate last night.

RON PAUL ...."we don't have a well-managed border. So I think we need more resources and I think most of the other candidates would agree we need more resources. But where are the resources going to come from?

I have a suggestion. I think we spend way too much time worrying about the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Use some of those resources on our own border."

(APPLAUSE)

Michelle Bachman told the truth about the AMNESTY letter Newt signed, but what good did it do? The Chumps for Gingrich just slaughtered the messenger and for telling the truth, she's out!

The last thing 90% of this country wants is the truth, and that includes all the Faux conservatives running around internet forums. You ALL should know better than to give Newt Gingrich the time of day!

But they will defend a lie over the truth EVERY TIME! Talk about useful idiots. Like Mark Twain said, "They think they think!"

When people get out of their emotional prisons, we'll start getting decent candidates. Don't they understand that con men like Newt and his promoters like Grover Norquist and YES, SARAH PALIN, have always COUNTED on knee jerk emotionalism instead of examining the record!

Last time around the same hard headed republicans wanted Fred Thompson, who was just a place holder to knock out the real conservative competition, just like Palin was this time! He waited to get in until he was needed to prop up McCain and she just stalled, and made you all sit there waiting.......for Newt Gingrich???? GIVE me a break!

Hell! We should ALL be able to remember what an ASS, (YEAH, I said it!)Gingrich was!

But the denial is SO strong it even wipes out their own memories! They are still dishonest enough to tell ya that Newt's increased immigration stance, NaFTA, GATT, "mostfavorednation" & loans to CHINA were all GOOD THINGS!

Un-FREAKING-believable! Newt stands there and calls us all 'inhumane' for not wanting a few million OLD illegal aliens in the country... while YOU are supporting them as we explained in this rant!

I have a kid like that. Reality is just such a nuisance in her life! Well, guess what, this kind of voting...which the Obamaites excel at.......has gotten us a mess we will likely NEVER get out of. Not with trying to elect the Newts and their puppet masters like Norquist of this world!

FOR GOD'S SAKE! NEWT was in congress and headed the way to get us into most of the mess we face.

WAKE UP!

Gingrich lied! This time about Reagan!

2012-01-21T11:08:00.000-08:00

Yesterday on his radio program, Mark Levin, who actually worked in the Reagan White House, reminded us that Gingrich did not, even though he is trying to take credit for being a planner of Reagan's 'supply side economics'. Newt didn't get elected to the house of representatives for several years after! Geeze...next he'll be telling us he invented the internet! This is not the first of Newts lies, and won't be the last. If you brain numbed republicans nominate Newt, OBAMA WILL BE RELECTED!

... "Mark Levin states that supply side economics predates Gingrich and was not
invented by Gingrich".....

Hot Air had the story on Jan 4th.
.

.. But Gingrich recently told Sean Hannity, “I helped Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp develop supply-side economics …”

In Ronald Reagan’s autobiography, “An American Life,” he writes extensively about supply-side economics. He cites Jack Kemp several times. He never mentions Newt Gingrich.

(However, in Reagan’s massive 784-page diary, Newt’s name does come up — once. On Jan. 3, 1983, Reagan wrote that he met with “a group of young Repub Congressmen,” and says that one of them, “Newt Gingrich,” proposed freezing federal spending at 1983 levels, which Reagan rejected out of hand because it would “cripple our defense program.”)

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=48291

Arthur Laffer did work with Reagan to develop the policy of Supply Side Economics and oddly supports Gingrich...maybe he should listen to what Liar Newt actually says.....
No where does Laffer mention that Newt was anywhere near the plan, that any of us can find.

Who Knew??? Character doesn't matter to Conservatives after all! CFG's -Chumps for Gingrich

2012-01-19T10:33:00.000-08:00

Since 1991, we've heard nothing but the cries and moans of the 'values voters' that "CHARACTER MATTERS"....until it comes to one of their own, evidently. The cult like, emotional reasoning of the GOP is astonishing. Rush is making himself into a total hypocritical ASS this morning trying to excuse good ol' Newt. Hannity will take the PM shift! They're willing to ignore the sexual sins of Newt Gingrich, nearly identical to those of Clinton, and use the left tactics of destroying the messenger.

So, now we know that Newt wanted his wife and his mistress at the same time. But that's not the worst of it. These phony conservatives are also willing to just IGNORE the ample, liberal leaning, DANGEROUS history of Newt Gingrich. JUST WOW!

For all you CFGs* out there , let me count the ways........(will be added to daily- this is just a taste of Newt!)

Newt IS all about AMNESTY!

Newt supported the Left's view of Global Warming & pushed legislation to do so!

Newt does not have the upbringing and emotional stability to be president.

Newt never had a job that wasn't paid for by the taxpayer. He is a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!

Newt has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1990. This alone should disqualify him from consideration of any 'Conservative'

Newt has no problem cozying up to and pushing policy for the worst of the Left, like Al Sharpton.

Newt cosponsored the 1987 Fairness Doctrine (anti 1st Amendment legislation)

In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-2nd amendment Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban

Newt supported spending $30B for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Actof 1994 that shackled gun owners with new restrictions, federalized a number of crimes, and handed the feds police powers that the Constitution reserves to the states.

Newt lobbied for Federal ethanol subsidies, Medicare drug subsidy, and took several million from Freddie Mac.

Newt was fined $300,000 for ethics violations (lying to investigators, asking others to lie and fraud ) and asked to give up his congressional seat by REPUBLICANS!

New was Big supporter of Foreign Aid, often to our enemies.
- In one year (1994-1995) Gingrich voted for nearly $45 billion in foreign aid.
- He helped push through Federally-funded loan guarantees to Communist China.

Newt supported and promoted the same government one-payer health Ins. mandate supported by Obama

Gingrich quotes:

"[My ambition] is to be an old-time political boss in 20 years."

I WAS A GREEN PUPPET WHEN IT WASN’T COOL: “When I first ran for Congress I was the natural candidate of most environmental groups…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 168

"Grover Norquist is the person who I regard as the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America . . . He has truly made a difference and truly changed American history.”

Newt is the handmaiden of the most corrupt GOP Operative,Muslim loving Grover Norquist.
The Pledge: Grover Norquist's hold on the GOP,
CBS News Nov 20, 2011 . 60 Minutes on CBS

Newt Gingrich, the Eric Cartman of the Gop...same nasty disposition, spoiled little brat with only a neurotic mother to raise him, and Always only looking out for his own selfish interests. They even look alike!

QUOTE OF THE DAY!

*"Here it comes! For all you CfG's(chumps for Gingrich), I hope you enjoy mouthing, "character doesn't count," which you decried in 1992. ANY adulterer is a serial liar capable of convincing himself fully of the rightness of any course. This is why Newtie can turn on a dime, blowing "insurance mandate," "Global Warming," and "Contract with the Earth" in one instance and repudiating it the next."

UPDATE:
Hannity is using the old, 'well, Obama is worse than Newt' blather today. Reminds me of one of my grown kids, who every time he doesn't reach for the best he can be uses the excuse that there is always someone worse. Hannity is wrong, my kid is wrong and America would have never become more than a 3rd world dump if we had just settled for less than the best we could strive to be.

This should be the new GOP poster!

The really BAD property rights record of Newt Gingrich

2012-01-15T14:43:00.000-08:00

UPDATE...It just gets worse!

Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills in Congress with Pelosi during the 12
years they served together in the House, according to the Library of
Congress’s THOMAS database.

Gingrich was in Congress from 1979 to 1999. Pelosi has served since 1987. Speaker John Boehner, who has servedin Congress with Pelosi for more than 20 years, has only co-sponsored 104 bills with her.

Many of the bills Gingrich and Pelosi co-sponsored were hardly
divisive, But one piece of legislation SHOULD be problematic for
Gingrich with conservatives: the Global Warming Prevention Act of
1989, which never made it out of committee.

The legislation declared that climate change was “a major threat to
political stability, international security and economic prosperity.”

The bill could also make the pro-life community uneasy with language
about the availability of “family planning services” that included a
declaration that, “curbing world population growth will be critical to
achieving the goals.”

And while it prohibited funds from going towards “involuntary
sterilization or abortion,” it doesn’t appear the bill would have
prevented “voluntary” cases of abortion.

R.C. Hammond, a spokesman for Gingrich, didn’t comment when reached by email.

Speaker’s long record of radical environmentalism bombs with CPAC voters after ATP’s ‘Power-Grabbing Newt’ campaign Feb. 2011

BIG GREEN GOVERNMENT 101
WHO SAID IT? NEWT GINGRICH OR AL GORE?

A POP QUIZ FROM AMERICAN TRADITION PARTNERSHIP (AmericanTradition.org)
Hint: These are all recent Newt Gingrich statements.

I WAS A GREEN PUPPET WHEN IT WASN’T COOL: “When I first ran for Congress I was the natural candidate of most environmental groups…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 168

CREATE GLOBAL SPENDING REGIMES: “If the United States challenged Europe and Japan to join it in financing a world biodiversity refuge system and tied foreign aid into the process of maintaining biodiversity, we could probably save a very high percentage of the earth’s biological richness…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Pages 170-171

SPREAD THE WEALTH, TO GREENS: “The United States should support substantial research into climate change, managing the response to climate change, and in developing new non-carbon energy systems.” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 171

PUT DC IN CONTROL: “The federal government should establish measurable standards for a healthy environment…” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 172

CASH FOR CLUNKERS? MORE, PLEASE: “A tax credit to subsidize energy efficient cars (including a tax credit for turning in old and heavily polluting cars) is another idea we should support.” Newt Gingrich, “Winning The Future,” Page 174

INDOCTRINATE THEM YOUNG: “As a young professor at West Georgia College, I taught in the second Earth Day in 1971 and coordinated an interdisciplinary environmental studies program.” Newt Gingrich, “Real Change,” Page 196

NEWT ENDORSES ‘CASH FOR CLUNKERS,’ AGAIN: “There ought to be a tax break for trading in old cars that use a lot of petroleum and emit a lot of pollution.” Newt Gingrich, “Real Change,” Page 204

WE MUST PROTECT THE ESA “That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of the House to protect the Endangered Species Act, historic legislation that has been mired in controversy…The Endangered Species Act is an excellent example of the value of civility, consultation and collaboration.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages XII & 51

THE EARTH NEEDS A GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER “Government, at all levels, should be a facilitator for entrepreneurial, private-sector innovations and the formation of private-public environmental partnerships.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 13

STOP THE CONSERVATIVES FROM LIMITING GOVERNMENT POWER “For that reason, we have supported its (the Endangered Species Act’s) continuation against all challenges by private citizens, interest groups, and congressional opponents.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 53

CREATE NEW GOVERNMENT SPENDING PROGRAMS “The U.S. government operates endowments for the humanities and the arts…Perhaps, it is time we consider a new endowment for conservation and the environment.” “Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 115-116 [NOTE: As Speaker, Gingrich told conservatives he wanted to eliminate the wasteful National Endowment for the Arts. Now he cites it as an example of a government spending spree that needs to be duplicated.]

SPEND ‘SIGNIFICANT’ TAX MONEY IN THE U.S., AND AROUND THE WORLD “Significant resources should be set aside to protect hallowed sites such as the Galapagos Islands, the Virguna Volcanoes in Central Africa, and Georgia’s Okenfenokee Swamp, to name a few.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 117

MILITANT ENVIRONMENTALISM…LITERALLY? “John Muir, for most of his adult life, experienced nature in spiritual overtones…He even favored using the armed forces to enforce environmental law…However, with the inexorable advance of the urban realm, the defense of forested land assumes a greater urgency as we strive to sustain the highest-quality standards for our nation’s air, water, and land.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 127

HOORAY FOR RECORD-BREAKING SPENDING HIKES! “Our national parks and wildlife reserves require more vigorous protection. With an eye toward strengthening his environmental legacy in the 2007 federal budget, President Bush requested the largest increase for national park funding in our nation’s history. We should expect nothing less than excellence from our national park system.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 130-131

ENVIRONMENTALISM, OUR GLOBAL RELIGION OF PEACE “Far from becoming a new source of global discord, environmentalism, which binds nations to a common concern, will be the best thing that’s ever happened to international relations.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Pages 149-150

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IS THE SOLUTION “We will need to organize a series of high-level global conferences that focus on specific [environmental] problems…” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 158

GOVERNMENT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF INNOVATION “…the type of arduous research that produces real breakthroughs can only be funded by astute governments.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 167

NEWT WANTS TO BRING BACK CARTER ENERGY POLICIES “America used to be that kind of government [that spent millions of tax dollars on “energy research” welfare programs,] but our commitments have wavered in recent years so government incentives for energy research will be issues in future political campaigns.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 1
+667

NEWT LOVES THE UN’S KYOTO TREATY GLOBAL APPROACH “Mobilizing other countries to join us will not be as easy as it may appear. Many of the countries that signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol are lagging behind on their commitments.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 168

STOP CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION TO THE ESA “The act [Endangered Species Act] has been, by any measure, a very successful guardian of wildlife and habitat and any attempt to weaken it should be resisted.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 170

NEWT INVENTS A NEW DISEASE ONLY ENVIRONMENTALISM CAN CURE “…our children, according to Louv, run the risk of acquiring ‘nature deficit disorder,’ a malady that he describes as a contributing factor to a recognized mental health construct, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Nature deficit disorder, not yet acknowledged by scientists or clinicians, is a working hypothesis that Louv believes helps to explain the onset of ADHD, and he proposes that exposure to nature should be offered as a therapy for children who have difficulty attending to stimuli and learning in conventional classrooms. His call for research in this domain is compelling.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 182

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SHOULD REDISTRIBUTE INCOME TO ‘STIMULATE’ GREEN COMPLIANCE “Local governments operate much closer to the origin of environmental problems, and they have begun to provide tax incentives and large cash rewards for environmental compliance…While the motivation is driven by the application of tax dollars, the effect is rewarding rather than punitive…” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 194

DON’T CUT GOVERNMENT, JUST MAKE IT NICER “…our government, at all levels, must be modernized to successfully partner, let alone compete, with the private sector.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 196

MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FACT “We agree that there is plenty of evidence that global climate change is occurring…While humanity is certainly causing its fair share of the change, scientists are still not able to precisely pinpoint the extent of the change, or the margin of error in their estimates.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 200

GIVING TAX DOLLARS TO LIBERALS IS OUR ONLY HOPE “In spite of the demonstrated liberal leanings in academia, we have nothing but respect for the nation’s scientists. They represent America’s best hope to protect the environment. We support a dramatic increase in science and technology research and development because we desperately need to understand global climate change and other environmental phenomena.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 201

MOTHER EARTH NEEDS ALL YOUR INCOME “Needless to say, an appropriate and significant investment of public and private funding to renew the earth will pay dividends.” Newt Gingrich, “A Contract With The Earth,” Page 202

Massive tax hikes and new government spending? Federal & global regulation?
Real conservatives, like American Tradition Partnership, disagree.
Tell “Power-Grabbing Newt” what you think of his radical liberal agenda.

Gingrich’s Record on Property Rights

NRO

January 15, 2012

This morning on “Meet the Press,” former Speaker Newt Gingrich repeatedly insisted that he and the other candidates should be evaluated based upon their respective records. Fair enough. As it happens, Gingrich may be the only nominee who actively sabotaged an important conservative reform effort. Even though the protection of property rights was a plank in the Contract with America, and the enthusiasm of the property rights movement had been important in the GOP takeover of Congress, Gingrich personally prevented property-rights-protective reforms of the Endangered Species Act from passing the House and then gave one of the most liberal members of the Republican caucus and environmental activist groups a de facto veto over environmental legislation.
These machinations were documented in an article in The Environmental Forum, a magazine published by the Environmental Law Institute — an article Gingrich cited favorably in his own book on environmental policy. Does Gingrich still believe he made the right choice? What should conservatives make of this part of his record? Are there any other candidates who betrayed conservative principles so directly and with equivalent results? I’m still waiting for the former Speaker to address this part of his record (if he has, I have not seen it).

Chicano Park gets makeover ($1.6 million federal government grant for "La Raza" murals)
FOX 5 San Diego ^ | January 13, 2012 |

Thanks to a $1.6 million grant from the federal government, 18 of the murals are being restored.

The artists working on the restoration said each painting has significant symbolism.

“It’s that significant to me because it’s art for our people,”Charcon said. “It’s art of our people and for our people and [we’re] sharing it with different communities.”

Mexico home to five of world's deadliest cities

Snips
The council — an NGO founded in 2002 — compiled the list of the globe’s 50 most violent cities by comparing every city with more than 300,000 residents for which homicide statistics were available on the internet.

Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez, which led the list for three consecutive years, dropped to second in 2011 with a tally of 148 homicides for every 100,000 residents.

The other Mexican cities finishing in the top 10 for 2011 were Acapulco with 128 murders per 100,000 people, Torreon with 88, Chihuahua with 83, and Durango with 80 homicides.

Forty of the 50 most dangerous cities are in Latin America, including 14 in Brazil.

This is a NATION, not a religion! VOTE RON PAUL!

2012-01-15T09:44:00.000-08:00

Ron Paul has the endorsement of a leading evangelic, Dr. James Linzey, president and founder of the Military Bible Association. For those of you Christians, both real and phony who would see this country ruled as a theocracy rather than a constitutional nation, you should heed his words:

“The tell-tale sign of being qualified for the presidency is not faith, but loyalty to the Constitution which defends the open expression of faith. Ron Paul seems to be the candidate most loyal to the Constitution according to the records ...
Having thoroughly examined your political philosophy and finding that your platform is 100% in line with the Constitution of the United States of America, and examining your political record to find that you have consistently upheld the Constitution and thereby faithfully represented your constituency, and studying your statement of faith to find that your faith and religious experience is 100% compatible with Evangelical Christianity and Orthodox Christianity, I hereby endorse you for the Office of the President of the United States of America. I wish you Godspeed!"

www.ronpaul2012.com/

OF NOTE:

Despite Paul polling much better than candidates who received coverage, a montage of mainstream media clips that showed commentators ignoring, and two CNN correspondents admitting to suppressing, coverage of Paul. The Project for Excellence in Journalism found that Ron Paul did in fact receive substantially less coverage than other candidates in the 2012 race. Ron Paul was asked in a Fox News interview "What are they [the media] afraid of?" He answered "They don't want to discuss my views, because I think they're frightened by me challenging the status quo and the establishment."

The Project for Excellence in Journalism released another study in October 2011 further confirming that Ron Paul has been receiving disproportionately low coverage in the media

During the November 12 CBS/National Journal Debate, Paul was allocated 90 seconds speaking time. Paul's campaign responded, saying, "Congressman Paul was only allocated 90 seconds of speaking in one televised hour.

ANY, yes, including Christian 'conservatives' , should be OUTRAGED that ANY candidate is being intentionally sidelined! Just think where Paul would be (first instead of second!) if he had been treated fairly.

THAT is what scares 'em to death!

Only Gingrich could make Romney look good! THE REAL NEWT!

2012-01-13T07:51:00.001-08:00

So much for that old line about Reagan's 11th amendment! Playing the lefts class warfare game has backfired on Newt. Newt isn't happy....he's being seen for what he is...a petulant, emotionally challenged old fool who makes Romney look better than he ever has! Yeah, he's 'smart' alright.

It's impossible to fathom that so called conservatives could EVER consider Newt Gingrich for any office! He is the rights Barak Obama...a Community Organizer...never had a job that wasn't government or funded by the taxpayers for one of his many 'non profit's'. One would think that being forced to resign his seat in congress by his own party would be enough to wake them up!

We criticized Clinton and Obama as children of dysfunctional families and Newt is just another 'lost little boy', incapable of being a responsible adult.

Newt Gingrich was born on June 17, 1943, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His mother Kathleen Daugherty and father Newton Searles McPherson divorced soon after Newt was born. Kathleen remarried to an Army officer named Robert Gingrich, who adopted the boy. Gingrich has three younger half-sisters, Candace, Susan, and Roberta.

Growing up, Gingrich's family moved around frequently, like many military families. He graduated from Baker High School in Columbus, Georgia

Gail Sheehy explains in a Vanity Fair article:
From the cauldron of his childhood -- the father who abandoned him, the manic depressive mother who loved him too much, the stepfather whose anger shaped the family -- Newt Gingrich emerged with a heroic need that became his mission.

Gingrich remarks about his stepfather, "He and I fought from the time he adopted me until I was 19. " His childhood --shaped by the rejection by not just one but two fathers, and the manic-depressive illness of his mother-- created a psychic need so great that only the praise that attends a savior can fill the vacuum inside him. He drives himself monomaniacally, obsessed only with his goal. No amount of personal deprivation --100-hour workweeks, no vacations, no time with his wife-- diminishes his narcissistic vision of the global glory that will ultimately be his prize.

Despite the fact that one of Newt Gingrich's forebears fought in the Civil War on the Yankee side, everyone thinks that the Georgia congressman is a dyed-in-the-wool son of a Dixie. He is not. He is rootless, raised on a drifting landscape of army bases here and abroad and in a blue-collar backwater in Pennsylvania called Hummelstown. (rootless...sounds like Obama to me!)

As the Speaker himself said, "I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to."

"Newtie is still a kid," admits Kit. Marcella McPherson agrees: "Newtie wants things Newtie's way...If he wants something, he wants it now. Newtie was always for Newtie."
Gingrich pursued higher education, receiving an M.A. in 1968 and a Ph.D. in modern European history from Tulane University in 1971. While in New Orleans, Gingrich developed an interest in religion, and was baptized in a Baptist church. Gingrich worked early on in academia, as an assistant professor of history and geography at West Georgia College.

Always interested in history and politics, Gingrich got involved as the Southern regional director for Nelson Rockefeller.

"Looking back on everything, Newt was always focused on his agenda," recalls Dot Crews, Newt's campaign scheduler through the 70s. "It was not about political philosophy with Newt --never. If the country today were to move to the left, Newt would sense it before it started happening and lead the way."

In 1974 he gave a quote to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution which was clearly meant for the history books: "[My ambition] is to be an old-time political boss in 20 years."

One of Newt's former girlfriends has this to say:

He met her back at her modest hotel room. "We had oral sex," she says. "He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, "I never slept with her." Indeed, before Gingrich left that evening, she says, he threatened her: "If you ever tell anybody about this, I'll say you're lying."(Shades of Bill Clinton!)

She tells me this, she says, because she fears that Newt might become president someday. "I don't claim to be an angel," she says, but she is repelled by Newt's stance as Mr. Family Values. "He's morally dishonest. He has gone too far believing that 'I'm beyond the law.' He should be stopped before it's too late." [snip]

Not everyone’s buying Gingrich’s anti-Agenda 21 cred

Gingrich voted to designate 68 million acres of land in Alaska as a “federally protected wilderness.” He also says that Gingrich transfered 2.2 million acres in Idaho to “federal wilderness land control” —

In a town hall meeting sponsored by East Orlando Tea Party in Orlando this past September, Gingrich described his efforts to fight Agenda 21 if he were elected president.

“One of the things that is popping up, for example, is Agenda 21, which is not something I even knew about until we did a couple of conference calls,” the former House speaker said.

For all the mocking and insults some good conservative 'Christians ' have thrown at Michelle Obama, it would be interesting to see their reaction to the left making fun of a first lady Callista Gingrich! I mean, get real....this is one homely woman! Just shows how bad Newt's judgment is!

Rudy Giuliani: "What the hell are you Doing, Newt?"

AND in the "PUT IT TO REST" category.....

Yesterday on the Sean Hannity Show, Frank Luntz tried to present the facts to Sean, but he just ignored it! GoP faithful refuse to allow any idea of a 3rd party (let's get real...we have only ONE big government party and MOST of us have NO representation!)

Getting the 1992/1996 elections right: ROSS PEROT DID NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOMES

"It is denying history, and being self-delusional. It is a sad attempt to discredit why we even got back to the White House after years of losing in landslides. It is also a self serving smear, to deny the fact that reforming welfare and cutting crime DID help us come back, and Clinton absolutely had potential to get a majority in a two way race. it also ignores MANY facts and actual imperical evidence, something the Perot myth completely IGNORES."

Before Ross Perot dropped out of the 1992 race, George Bush Sr. polled in the 30's, http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht ml?res=9E0CE7DB133EF932A25755C0A96495826 0 When Perot left the race, Bill Clinton took the lead, with over 50 percent, as Bush stayed in the 30's http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht ml?res=9E0CE0D7133DF93BA25754C0A96495826 0 and Bill Clinton kept that lead consistently, thru the GOP Convention http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht ml?res=9E0CE5DF113FF935A1575BC0A96495826 0& and Bush stayed in the upper 30's and early 40's, where he ended up essentially in the final tally. Now, many times, we look to the post Labor Day polls. Let us look at one http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht ml?res=9E0CE0DC1F3EF936A2575AC0A96495826 0 and

Among 741 registered voters interviewed Wednesday through Sunday, Governor Clinton was the choice of 54 percent and President Bush 38 percent when asked who would get their vote if the election were held now.

AND Another one bites the dust!
If ya can't beat 'em, just shut 'em up! In some 'conservative' (lmao!) circles any support for Ron Paul or Mitt Romney, well, let's face it, anyone but NEWT, will get you GONE!
Well, fact is, there are only two logical candidates left to look at...Paul & Romney! Our friend, says it well below, before he was banished.

"I have been a conservative all my adult life. I supported Goldwater, Reagan, Palin, etc. I have argued here against legalization of drugs. But I am fed up with being lied to by the Republican establishment. I finally came to realize that American military interventionism (except against the Communist empire) had not served our own national security interests. The Pubbie Party has pandered to us for years, then betrayed us with No Child Left Behind, Rx drug entitlements, military backing of "Islamic republics," and the like.

Enough is enough. I am not listening anymore to those who claim Ron Paul is anti-Semitic or anti-American. 19 posted on Fri Jan 13 13:42:43 2012 by hellbender

Ron Paul is looking better every day! ANYONE but NEWT!

So...some of you don't like Ron Paul's non interventionist foreign policy??? Well, there is plenty to dislike about the entire group the GOP has given us. One thing about Paul...NO ONE owns Ron Paul, unlike the fairness doctrine loving Newt Gingrich, who can be had by Freddie Mac, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Grover Norquist or just about anyone...not to mention Paul would straighten out the economy!

Who was the presidential candidate who said this: "If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that."

That's right, kiddies, it was your 'conservative' icon GEORGE W. Bush ........another rino that you good GOP faithful pushed on us during a primary before John McCain and after Bob Dole! We cannot settle for the worst of the worst of your party any longer. TIME to SHAKE it UP!

WAKE UP TEA PARTY....NEWT is using you, like he's always used everyone...just ask the congressmen who had to serve with him!

Gun Owners of America: Newt Ain’t Great on 2nd Amendment Rights, Broke His Promise to America by Gary P | November 28, 2011 · 2:20 pm

"As long as I am Speaker of this House, no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on the floor of this House and there will be no further erosion of their rights"
~ Newt Gingrich lying to the American people

By Gary P Jackson

Like you needed more reasons to scratch Newt of your list as a potential GOP nominee. The Conservative group, Gun Owners of America, reminds us that back in the day, when Newt was in Congress, he was no friend to gun owners.

Despite Newt’s promise that NO gun control legislation would ever make it out of committee, let alone to the floor of the House, many left wing gun control bills did just that, and with the full support of Newt Gingrich.

[And some people wonder why you can’t trust Newt as far as you can throw him!]

Not only did Newt support liberal legislation that infringed on gun owners’ rights, some of this legislation, like the ban of guns in schools, made disasters like the shootings at Virginia Tech all the more possible.

Some of the legislation Newt helped pass through his Republican controlled has resulted in otherwise law abiding Americans to lose their Second Amendment rights for the most minor of infractions.

What kind of man would work to take this lady’s rights away?

From the Gun Owners of America:

Prior to the “Republican Revolution” of 1994, Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia had earned an A rating with Gun Owners of America. But that all changed in 1995, after Republicans were swept to power and Gingrich became Speaker of the House.

The Republicans gained the majority, thanks in large part to gun owners outraged by the Clinton gun ban. And upon taking the reins of the House, Speaker Gingrich said famously that, “As long as I am Speaker of this House, no gun control legislation is going to move in committee or on the floor of this House and there will be no further erosion of their rights.”

His promise didn’t hold up, however, and his GOA rating quickly dropped to well below the “C-level.” In 1996, the Republican-led Congress passed the “gun free school zones act,” creating criminal safe zones like Virginia Tech, where the only person armed was a murderous criminal. Speaker Newt Gingrich voted for the bill containing this ban.[1]

The same bill also contained the now infamous Lautenberg gun ban, which lowered the threshold for losing one’s Second Amendment rights to a mere misdemeanor.[2] Gun owners could, as a result of this ban, lose their gun rights forever for non-violent shouting matches that occurred in the home — and, in many cases, lose their rights without a jury trial.

While a legislator might sometimes vote for a spending bill which contains objectionable amendments, that was clearly NOT the case with Newt Gingrich in 1996. Speaking on Meet the Press in September of that year, Speaker Gingrich said the Lautenberg gun ban was “a very reasonable position.”[3] He even refused to cosponsor a repeal of the gun ban during the next Congress — despite repeated requests to do so.[4]

Also in 1996, Speaker Gingrich cast his vote for an anti-gun terror bill which contained several harmful provisions. For example, one of the versions he supported (in March of that year) contained a DeLauro amendment that would have severely punished gun owners for possessing a laser sighting device while committing an infraction as minor as speeding on a federal reservation.[5] (Not only would this provision have stigmatized laser sights, it would have served as a first step to banning these items.) Another extremely harmful provision was the Schumer amendment to “centralize Federal, State and Local police.”[6]

Final passage of H.R. 3610, Sept. 28, 1996 at: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll455.xml .

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) warned his colleagues about the hidden dangers in H.R. 3610, and in regard to the Kohl ban, noted that it would “prohibit most persons from carrying unloaded firearms in their automobiles.”

See Gingrich’s vote at: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll455.xml .

[3] Associated Press, “Gingrich Favors Handgun Ban for Domestic Abuse Convicts,” Deseret News, Sept. 16, 1996. The full quote reveals how much Speaker Gingrich had adopted the anti-gunners’ line of thinking: “I’m very much in favor of stopping people who engage in violence against their spouses from having guns,” the Georgia Republican said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I think that’s a very reasonable position.” But the fact that this gun ban covers misdemeanors in the home is primary evidence that NON-violent people have been subjected to lifetime gun bans for things like: shouting matches, throwing a set of keys in the direction of another person, spanking a child, etc.

[4] See H.R.1009, “States’ Rights and Second and Tenth Amendment Restoration Act of 1997,” introduced by Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-ID).

H.R. 2703, March 14, 1996 at: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll066.xml .

S. 735, April 18, 1996 at: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll126.xml .

Newt lies to gun owners, telling them he would protect their rights, and ensure no gun control legislation would see the light of day on his watch, then proceeds to push through some of the most radical gun control laws in our nation’s history. Can you trust this man?

No.

Can you trust Newt when he says he won’t push amnesty for illegals, government mandated health insurance, sweeping “global warming” legislation like cap and tax, if elected? These are all positions he’s supported, some as recently as six months ago.

Not no, but hell no!

If Newt can’t be trusted to protect our sacred Second Amendment rights, after stating in no uncertain terms he would, how could any rational human being think he wouldn’t lie again, and push all of his Big Government “progressive” nonsense once in office.

How can any rational human being think Newt could be trusted in any way, shape, or form?

Newt’s word means nothing. Nothing whatsoever.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice ….

Though created as an anti-Obama, pro Tea Party video back in 2009, the sentiments apply to phony Conservatives who would destroy your Liberty and Freedom as well. There are very bad man in both political parties. Newt Gingrich is a very bad man. ___

MORE HERE: The Inconvenient Truth About Newt (Gun Grabber)
http://www.nationalgunrights.org/the-inconvenient-truth-about-newt/

NEWT GINGRICH a few years ago : " Anything less than requiring people who are working here illegally to return home to apply for a worker visa is amnesty."
This is a bit different than the position he took in the CNN debate, where he suggested that ripping apart families and sending people who've been active in the community for a long time back to their native countries was not the proper approach.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/69432.html

A rose is a rose, and AMNESTY is AMNESTY, Newt!

2011-11-29T09:11:00.000-08:00

Illegal aliens aren't stupid. They understand their rights and know how to use 'em.
They also understand simple English better than the political class, even a presidential candidate.

No, not 'comprehensive immigration reform' or a 'path to legality'. AMNESTIA! They get it! And they know which candidates are on their side. The 'hispanic community' is solidly behind Gingrich. Newt even has his own Spanish Language outreach program...The Americano.

This is the same tired, deceitful argument we've been having for the last decade....some people just can't admit what amnesty is, and give it all kinds of cute names to disguise it. The saddest part is how many intelligent people often fall for it.

What I need is for someone, ANY one to show me where Newt ever backed building a fence on the border when he wasn't campaigning for president.

The think tank, The National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), that issued the letter supporting McCain/Kennedy/Bush 'comprehensive immigration reform' is one of many 'non partisan', non profit think tanks Gingrich is involved with. It is replete with articles and statements of support for 'legalization'. But I'll be damned if I can find a word to support Duncan Hunter's fence or for supporting the enforcement of the LAW!

Good GOP soldiers like Sean Hannity keep trying to tell the left and the media that we're all just 'vetting' Obama, like they should have. Too bad he won't 'vet' some of our own candidates a bit better instead of having NEWT on his show ad nauseum without ever getting to the meat of the situation.

Some pundits are calling Michelle Bachmann a 'liar' for being the only candidate with the cajones to call Newt out on his decades long support of AMNESTY. She didn't lie, she just told you what you refuse to hear! Others say Newt was only one of 15 signatures on the Wall St. Journal letter in support of the Bush AMNESTY. True...and the others you had better take notice of! The lot of them are open border, cheap labor, globalist hacks.

Grover Norquist. He was co author of Gingrich's 'contract with America' and the force behind Bush's 'comprehensive immigration reform'. Along with other signatories, he managed to destroy California's Prop. 187 to control illegal immigration. Newt Gingrich describes Norquist as “the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America . . . He has truly made a difference and truly changed American history.”
Where you find Gingrich, you will find Norquist and be saddled with more cheap labor 'trade' agreements like Nafta, Gatt, and any give away to any 3rd world sewer they choose. And where you find them both, you will likely find Karl Rove. Count on it! Rove, Norquist, Gingrich...the 3 headed Trojan horse of the GOP.

And this....for the memory impaired, Newt co sponsored the original 'Fairness Doctrine' bill which was meant to shut down conservative talk radio. Yeah, he was for it, before he was against it...one of MANY bad bills Newt tried to hoist upon us all.

And for those of you in the tech industry, who have had their jobs outsourced, House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) supported an increase in the H-1B ceiling. There was a cap of 65,000 H-1B visas per year, until Newt 'fixed it'. The Clinton Administration on February 25, 1998 testified that any increases in the H-1B ceiling must be linked with reforms to ensure that employers try to recruit US workers and to guarantees that H-1B workers do not replace laid-off US workers: "Increased immigration should be the last -- not the first -- public policy
response to skills shortages."

am·nes·ty ( m n -st ). n. pl. am·nes·ties. A general pardon granted by a
government, especially for political offenses

The action of a government by which all persons or certain groups of persons who have committed a criminal offense—usually of a political nature that threatens the sovereignty of the government (such as Sedition or treason)—are granted Immunity from prosecution.

Welcome to America

The Wall Street Journal
February 6, 2004

Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration":

In his farewell address to the nation, President Reagan said: "I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life . . . [I]n my mind it was . . . teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and heart to get here."

America is a nation of immigrants. Except for Native American Indians, everyone in this country came to America or is here due to the good fortune that a parent, grandparent, or other relation came before them. Keeping a door open to those with the "will and heart to get here" is vital to our economy, our culture, our role in the world, and our historic tradition as a land of freedom and opportunity.

Conservatives believe in legal immigration. We believe that America grows stronger by welcoming those who seek to better their families, work in our industries, and find liberty and refuge from oppression.

Conservatives oppose illegal immigration. We believe there is a right way and a wrong way to immigrate to the U.S. However, as conservatives we believe that our laws must reflect reality and common sense, be fiscally responsible, and avoid the loss of innocent life. Our current immigration laws do not pass this test.

Between 1990 and 2000, the U.S. increased the number of Border Patrol Agents from 3,600 to 10,000. During that same period illegal immigration rose by 5.5. million. Moreover, over the past eight years, more than 2,000 men, women, and children have died attempting to cross into America and seek the opportunity to work and achieve a better life. The status quo is unacceptable and clinging to the status quo -- or tougher versions of it -- is neither conservative nor principled. It has become clear that the only viable approach to reform is combining enforcement with additional legal avenues for those who wish to work in our economy, while also addressing the situation of those already here in the U.S.

President Bush has proposed a new legal path to work in the U.S. through a temporary worker program that will match willing workers with willing employers. We applaud the president and believe his approach holds great promise to reduce illegal immigration and establish a humane, orderly, and economically sensible approach to migration that will aid homeland security and free up border-security assets to focus on genuine threats. The president has shown courage by calling on Congress to place reality over rhetoric and recognize that those already working here outside the law are unlikely to leave. Congress can fulfill its role by establishing sufficient increases in legal immigration and paths to permanent residence to enable more workers to stay, assimilate, and become part of America.

We believe strongly in assimilation and oppose efforts to weaken the historical process that has led to e pluribus unum. While immigrants by and large reject entreaties by those who favor multiculturalism, the best defense is a good offense: making the teaching of English and civics a priority in our schools, community colleges, and adult education programs.

Immigrants are crucial to our competitiveness and future labor and economic growth, as well as our military strength. Our country's welcoming attitude to immigrants will permit the U.S. to grow and prosper, as the populations of many other nations stagnate and decline. Each generation of Americans must connect our nation's past to its future and in so doing keep President Reagan's vision of the "Shining City" alive.

Conservatives, Stop The Insanity: Newt Gingrich Is Horrible

Conservatives, Stop The Insanity: Newt Gingrich Is Horrible!

That's the headline by Michael Brendan Dougherty from the Business Insider, Nov. 10, 2011.
I can't say it any better. Please read the article.

WAKE UP! Newt cares about Newt! He's NEVER been conservative.

PAY ATTENTION! How have you all forgotten, or chosen to IGNORE the history of Newt Gingrich? TheTownCrier has tried for years to expose his 'moved left' record and now Newt is climbing in the polls for president. I find it astounding!

Newt is for amnesty. In CNN June debate he , not unlike Perry, used the word heartless against those that would like to deport illegal aliens as REQUIRED BY LAW! Either change the
law, or enforce it...at least pick a candidate who might do one or the other!

"GINGRICH: No, but let me say this, John. No serious citizen who's concerned about solving this problem should get trapped into a yes/no answer in which you're either for totally selling out protecting America or you're for totally kicking out 20 million people in a heartless way. There are -- there are humane, practical steps to solve this problem, if we can get the politicians and the news media to just deal with it honestly." June 2011 Transcript http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1106/13/se.02.html

The other day Newt said he regretted cozying up to Nancy Pelosi to push a global warming agenda. I wonder if he regrets writing that letter in the Wall St. Journal pushing the McCain/Kennedy amnesty....hmmmmm???? WSJ, February 6, 2004 - Welcome to America

He wrote the forward to 'Creating a New Civilization; Politics of the third wave'.

Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave

"In 1994, Newt Gingrich described himself as a fan of the ideas espoused in the book, The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler, in which homosexuality, promiscuity, adultery, divorce, and abortion are all viewed as perfectly normal and even desirable. He said that in order to understand him, you should read the book, The Third Wave by Toffler. This book is written from the perspective of someone who is writing a letter to America’s Founding Fathers, in which he describes the Constitution and the principles of limited government that guided our Founding Fathers as becoming increasing irrelevant, and obsolete, and hence in need of being radically redesigned and replaced!....When Newt Gingrich became the Speaker of the House in 1994, he recommended The Third Wave as required reading for all of his Congressional colleagues!"

Gingrich Backs Obamacare’s Individual Mandate Requiring Health Insurance

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Gingrich told host David Gregory that he continues to advocate for a plan he first called for in the early 1990s as a Congressman, which requires every uninsured citizen to purchase or acquire health insurance.
Meet the Press in October 1993: “I am for people, individuals -- exactly like automobile insurance -- individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance. And I am prepared to vote for a voucher system which will give individuals, on a sliding scale, a government subsidy so we insure that everyone as individuals have health insurance.”

Gregory asked Gingrich if he would criticize GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney, whose "Romneycare" health program enacted during his time as Governor in Massachusetts mandated that all uninsured purchase health insurance.

Gingrich replied he would not make it an issue in the campaign and said he agreed with key aspects of Romneycare.

"I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay--help pay for health care," Gingrich said, adding, "I've said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond ..."

The dangers of straying off the Democrat plantation! (Is this really about Amnesty??)

2011-11-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

Just ask Herman Cain!

(Hat tip to Travis McGee!)

There is all kinds of speculation out there about just who may be digging the dirt on Herman Cain. One operative not mentioned yet is one Grover Norquist...closley associated with the National Restaurant Association, who has always been on record , along with Newt Gingrich, in support of amnesty and open borders....the opposite postion of Herman Cain.
Mr. Cain has not only strayed from the liberal race baiting line of the democrat party, but has staked out an 'America first' - anti hispandering position. Oh! The horror!

Days ago, Cong. Frank Wolf gives us his opinion of Norquist, who is throwing his usual monkey wrench into current congressional negotiations. The article asks, " Who is this Grover Norquist, anyhow? To hear Representative Frank Wolf tell it, the antitax activist is a questionable character with some “unsavory” connections who has too much influence over the political process."

Keep in mind, Norquist is a big Rick Perry supporter and close associate of Newt Gingrich, another amnesty pusher and former paid lobbyist for Freddie Mac , for those of you who choose to ignore the fact. The unsubstantiated attack on Cain is a reminder of Norquist tactics we've seen before, in his often too successful attempts to keep illegal aliens pouring into the country.

This entire 'scandal' may not be so much about Herman Cain being black or about sexual 'harassment' as it may be about his support to secure our borders and give jobs to AMERICANS!

Beat Obama with a CAIN!!!

NEWT = Grover Norquist = AMNESTY

Newt "AMNESTY" Gingrich....Lest we forget!

Over the past few years, TheTownCrier has brought you facts about immigration and those pushing amnesty. Right at the front of the line was always CFR member, presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich, flanked by his open border, jihadist Muslim loving cohort, Grover Norquist.

Newt bashes conservatives every chance he gets and this week undermining Rep. Paul Ryan and his proposals to harness our national debt was the target. Newt will play conservative when it suits him, problem is it doesn't suit him often. Gingrich openly pushed the Bush/Kennedy/McCain AMNESTY......in a letter he wrote to the WSJ

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.
In his much touted 'Contract with America'....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush's amnesty is the 'only way to go'.

The Wall Street Journal February 6, 2004 - Welcome to America

[snip]Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration"

Co-authored by Stuart Anderson, Jeff Bell, Linda Chavez, Larry Cirignano, Cesar V. Conda, Francis Fukuyama, Richard Gilder , Newt Gingrich, Ed Goeas, Tamar Jacoby, Jack Kemp, Steve Moore, Grover Norquist, Richard W. Rahn and Malcolm Wallop.

These are the people who would populate a 'Gingrich' administration!

Newt's voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: " Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders."

His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.[snip]

In 1998, Clinton was actually enforcing workplace laws and getting the illegal aliens out...until the Republican Georgia delegation sent a demand letter to the administration to stop it, because it was annoying their big vidalia onion grower donors. Was Newt a signer on that letter? He was head of the delegation, wasn't he?

"The Survival of Civilization
now depends on the departure of the key players
and the arrival of a few gifted amateurs"*
~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's time. More than likely, past time.
No more internet. Time to disconnect.
Time for peace and quiet, short lived though it may be.
Every day's a gamble lately.

The point has come where we are merely singing to the choir, never reaching the uninformed, ill advised masses. Until more of us realize that the media is the first line defense of all things wrong in this government, dare to take them on, nothing will change. The internet was going to do that...it has failed. The Tea Party was going to do that, but they're being defined by the media and aligning themselves with the likes of Dick Armey, who will hasten their demise.

But people, instead, spend mindless hours ...years sitting in front of a computer visiting each other's pity pots. We are ruled, on both sides of the isle, by people who care about nothing but themselves, voted in by other selfish louts or those who 'think' they know what they're voting for. ..IF they bother at all.

Often, a nation comes to a point of no return and I feel we are there. The GOP is putting up their 'best' in debate tonight. If this bunch isn't proof the end of this monumental USA experiment is near, I'll never convince you otherwise.

The only one of them who has the fortitude to change our downward course is Ron Paul.
Yeah, I know, I didn't think I would ever say it either. But go ahead, push the latest Rino, or some cult figure, especially those who can't be bothered to show up to debate, who won't do squat except more of the same..... you hard headed, 'don't confuse me with facts' republicans!
The left stopped listening to reason decades ago, what's your excuse?

You continue to allow the media to pick your candidates every 4 years....How's that workin' for ya?? They're holding all the aces, because you allow them. Fox was going to be your savior...Pfft!

None of your candidates, except Ron Paul, can beat Obama. If you all could get your egos out of the way over your wonder 'candidate' long enough, Obama might loose. But you won't, you never have. Paul is the only one with the base and the fight to do it and he's the only one not bought and paid for by Mexico or some other equally offensive entity.
I'm not happy about that conclusion, but that's the way it is.

Rocco, a character in the marvelous movie, "Boon Dock Saints II, All Saints Day" ,
speaks to us as a ghost. I can't say it better.

ROCCO:
" Most people are just talkers.

All they got is talk.
But when all's said and done,
it is the doers who change the world.
And when they do that, they change us.
That's why we never forget them...
So, which one are you?
Do you just talk about it?
Or do you stand up and do something about it?
Because believe you me all the rest of it is just coffee house bullshit."

TheTownCrier will always cherish the friendships made and your encouragement of this blog.

Protect the innocent.

Never ask someone to do something that you are not willing to do yourself.

Leave it like you found it, or make it better.

Keep your promises and pay your bills - on time.

SILENCE IS CONSENT.

Slavery didn’t happen because people are black or white. Evil isn’t particular about color.

Be careful what you wish for.

NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Greed is more devastating than poverty.

Your rights stop where my nose starts.

You are only as strong as what you stand next to, that from which you draw your strength.

Youth and strength are no match for old age and treachery.

Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig!!

What's the matter, McCain, wrong Indian Tribe??

2011-08-10T10:55:00.000-07:00

Headline: McCain wants to stop off-reservation casinos

Phoenix Business Journal

My, my John has been busy doing other things besides insulting AMERICANS! Or has he?

So what?? What is so interesting about this??

As we have documented before, in the article, "Indians, Lobbyists and Arizona Politics...OH MY!", McCain is BIG on Indian Casinos, that is when it's the same Indians filling his campaign coffers.

McCain's history with the Indian Tribes has been an obvious 'follow the money' endeavor, as shown before, " McCain was betting at a casino he oversaw as a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, and he was doing so with the lobbyist who represents that casino."

Read on from the headline:

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is pushing a federal measure that would stop American Indian tribes from building new casinos outside their historical reservation lands.

A number of tribes in California and New York and the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona have plans for new casinos that are not on their reservations. The McCain bill would codify a Bush administration policy against such operations, according to Empire State News.

It's not clear whether the bill would impact the planned O'odham casino on unincorporated land between Glendale and Peoria. A 1986 federal law gives the O'odham Nation the right to buy county land in the Phoenix area to replace some land lost as a result of construction of a dam. McCain sponsored that bill.

However, he opposes the O'odham casino near Westgate City Center and University of Phoenix Stadium.[snip]

But, then, the Indians have a long history of believing the WRONG politicians!

Susan Bradford has a good article about McCain and Indians, including this quote:

McCain has said, “There have been times when I put my personal ambitions before the public interest.” Probably more times than he or anyone else could imagine.

AND still losing!

Direct from Mordor, McCain condemns the Tea Party

"HOBBITS! We HATES THEM! Don't we my precious."
by Kartographer

Ah...it's just McNasty being himself....throwing anyone and anything conservative under the G.O.P bus.
Today it's the Tea Party, tomorrow, who knows, probably the bribed and duped of Arizona who re-elected this old fool for another 6 years of national embarrassment.

And how 'bout McCain's main girl, Sarah Palin? Anyone hear her version of what she thinks of her mentor's latest condemnation? Anyone? I'm sure you all will let me know when she does.

As usual, McCain doesn't know what he's talking about trying to insult good Americans by calling them ' Hobbits '. Well, Senator McCain, the Hobbits were the good guys, and they won.

I'll let one of them explain why, though John McCain will never understand it.

Sam: …By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.
It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo,
the ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were.....

How could the world go back to the way it was
when so much bad had happened?
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turnin' back,
only they didn't. They kept goin',
because they were holdin' on to somethin'.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo,
and it's worth fightin' for.

Yesterday, former Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon died, of old age. May he rest in peace. My sympathy to his family. I keep being told what a great man he was.
At least he didn't stay in the Senate until he had to be rolled in and out, like McCain likely will.... both of these long term rino's are PERFECT arguments for term limits.

Am I the only one who remembers this stuff??

Mark Hatfield gave us the Brady Bill, not to mention other terrible unconstitutional legislation.
...damn the facts, it has an R behind it's name! NOT GOOD ENOUGH ANY MORE!

From The NY Times, 1993

[snip]After days of personal animus and futile backroom dealing,
Republicans backed down without much to show for their efforts. The
bill passed without debate, with only three Senators sitting in a
chamber emptied by the Thanksgiving holiday

As Vice President Al Gore and Mark O. Hatfield, an Oregon Republican
who supported the bill, watched, the two Senate leaders, Bob Dole of
Kansas and George J. Mitchell of Maine, pronounced the measure adopted
by unanimous consent. That is a parliamentary device allowing the
leaders to pass the legislation themselves by voice vote after
ascertaining that no senator would object.

"All of us are happy to have this issue behind us," Mr. Dole said.
"After a long, long, hard fight, Jim Brady has won." 'Thanksgiving
Present'

AND AFTER THIS the GOP nominated DOLE to run as their presidential candidate! WAKE UP!

Washington (CNN) - Two-thirds of Americans don't want to make it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens....
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Sunday indicates that 66 percent of Americans say the U.S. should not make it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, with 33 percent disagreeing.

Forty-two percent of Democrats questioned say the path to citizenship for illegal immigrants should be made easier. That number drops to 33 percent for independents and 16 percent for Republican respondents.

"Virtually all major subgroups oppose making it easier for illegal immigrants to become citizens, at least in the abstract ... Specific legislation that puts limits on the ability to gain citizenship has sometimes met with favor in the past if it restricts the number who can apply and penalizes them for staying in the country illegally. But the overall principle remains unpopular."

According to the poll, 52 percent are sympathetic to illegal immigrants and their families, down five points from 2006, with 47 percent unsympathetic, up eight points from four years ago.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted March 19-21, with 1,030 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Mexico extradites flight attendant who set fire on U.S. flight

Mexico City –Aug 5, 2011

The Mexican Attorney General's Office said Thursday it extradited a former flight attendant who had fled the United States after his arrest for setting fire to a plane's bathroom.

Eder H. Rojas, a Mexican national, was wanted for extradition by a federal court in North Dakota for setting the fire 35 minutes after the Compass Airlines flight carrying 76 people took off in 2008 from Minneapolis bound for Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Rojas, then 19, another flight attendant and a passenger extinguished the blaze after the fire alarm sounded, but the plane still was forced make an emergency landing in the North Dakota city of Fargo.

After being questioned by FBI agents, Rojas confessed that he was upset with the airline for making him work the Minneapolis-Regina route and that was why he used a lighter to set fire to a packet of toilet paper in the plane's bathroom.[snip]

Top Mexico trafficker claims he was DEA informant

(from Reuters, can ya believe it!!) Aug. 6, 2011

A top Mexican drug trafficker awaiting trial in Chicago is claiming that he has immunity from prosecution as he was working all along as a confidential informant for U.S. agents -- allegations the U.S. government denies.

Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla is the son of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, the right-hand man of Mexico's most wanted criminal, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman who leads the powerful Sinaloa cartel.

The younger Zambada, who is charged with cocaine and heroin trafficking, is claiming he was an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and was given immunity from prosecution at the top level of government.

One of a slick new generation of Mexican traffickers, dubbed "narco juniors" south of the border, Zambada's extradition was hailed by the Justice Department as one of the most significant in years.

But court documents filed by his lawyers in late July argue that a deal was struck between the DEA and Sinaloa cartel attorney Humberto Loya in 1998, granting Loya and top cartel chiefs immunity for providing information about their rivals.

Zambada claims the agreement was "known and approved" by the Justice Department and cartel leaders and is seeking to have all charges tossed arguing he took over from Loya the role of "primary liaison on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel with the United States government" in 2008.

A snappy dresser far from the brash Mexican cowboy style of his father, Zambada claims to have met with regional directors of the DEA for Latin America and Mexico at a hotel in downtown Mexico City shortly before his arrest where he received guarantees of his immunity from prosecution.

The oldest, 10 yrs, said that along with their uncles and cousins, they were taken to a ranch where there were 6 other women and five men he did not know. He said they beat his father and another man, and told them to plug their ears and not watch. Hours later, the children were taken in a series of vehicles and dropped in a shopping mall in Apodaca, where a group of soldiers took them to the Municipal Police. (It is unusual that they let the children live and released them.) The report states the photo of the children is being released in hopes of locating some family. There has been no sign of the parents or other family taken.

"The Mendocino National Forest is under attack by drug traffickers"

2011-08-02T14:06:00.000-07:00

https://www.buildtheborderfence.com/

Those could be the words of just about any rural county Sheriff in California. It wouldn't be the first time we heard it.

The proliferation of such growing operations is destroying ecosystems and scaring hikers away, an official says.

Melinda Haag, U.S. attorney for Northern California, also stated, "Visitors to the forest are increasingly intimidated by the prospect of armed drug traffickers and illegal cultivation sites. ....I've warned people who come up here during the summer to be careful when they go hiking."
More than 460,000 pot plants were destroyed and 101 people arrested in the raids in and around the Mendocino National Forest.
The latest effort, dubbed Operation Full Court Press, targeted 56 growing sites. Authorities seized 27 guns and 11 vehicles, Haag said.

The operation also confiscated fertilizers, chemical pesticides and rat poison. With the aid of the U.S. Forest Service, 23 tons of trash and 22 miles of irrigation pipe were removed; 13 man-made dams remain to be dismantled.

These aren't your 'garden variety' hippie growing a few plants for their personal satisfaction. They are operated by Mexican drug cartels aided by the illegal alien invasion. And they are armed, more than likely, by our own scandalous Department of Justice's Fast and Furious Mexican cartel gun running.

All but one of the suspects arraigned Monday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City are Mexican nationals, said Paul Kohler, an assistant U.S. attorney.

The 21st defendant is a legal permanent resident and has a detention hearing set for Wednesday. (OUR LEGAL immigration system is just as broken!!...this one was probably allowed in on an 'agricultural visa!)

Sue Thomas, a supervisory special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration in Salt Lake City, said the suspects are hired and paid by Mexican drug trafficking organizations and thus are "part of them." She said all of the large-scale operations federal authorities have seen in southern Utah the past two years have been controlled by Mexican drug trafficking organizations. [snip]

Area residents urged to be cautious when out in the wilderness, especially in summer

A wooden board studded with nails is just one example of a trap recovered by Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team members in Douglas County this year. The board is intended to keep trespassers out of marijuana-growing operations in remote areas.

When recreating in the Northwest outdoors, beware of illegal marijuana growing

Published: Monday, July 25, 2011

Mexican-backed drug trafficking organizations, according to a Bureau of Land Management law officer, have been a public menace for a number of years, primarily by illegally growing and defending patches of marijuana.

The problem originated in California but has spread throughout the West.

Already this year, law enforcement has raided an illegal plantation of 91,000 marijuana plants in a rugged part of Wallowa County in northeast Oregon. Six men were arrested in the raid.

Last year, 39,000 marijuana plants were eradicated from public lands in the state and Oregon recorded its first shooting at a grow site on BLM land. The incident resulted in the death of one suspect, a Mexican national, in southern Oregon's Jackson County.

Closer to Portland, the U.S. Forest Service reported that 20,000 marijuana plants were removed two years ago in a joint operation on Mount Adams Ranger District and Yakama Nation lands.

Three years ago, 6,200 plants were removed from the Dufur Ranger District of the Mount Hood National Forest.

But those who wander off trail, such as hunters or mushroom pickers, have a greater chance to encounter illegal grow patches.

Marijuana grow operations occur even in desert canyons of southeast Oregon, provided a water source can be diverted to the site.[snip]

Even local governments are getting in on Mexican Gun Smuggling!
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

Jul 13 2011
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —

The former mayor of a small New Mexico border town has pleaded guilty to charges he participated in a gun smuggling ring that federal prosecutors said sent hundreds of guns into Mexico, authorities said Wednesday.

Eddie Espinoza faces 65 years in prison. The 51-year-old was arrested in March along with two other Columbus town officials - police chief Angelo Vega and former trustee Blas Gutierrez. The three were among a dozen people charged in the federal sting.
Columbus sits just north of Palomas, Mexico, a town that has seen increasing violence as drug cartels wage war against one another, the Mexican Army and police.[snip]

Medford, Oregon....quiet, Pacific NW little city, where I grew up and raised my children...Now known as Illegal Alien Mexican gangland!

Police bust up gang fight

MEDFORD, Ore. – Medford Police arrested 10 people after breaking up a gang-related fight with strong ties to a stabbing in Phoenix last month. Police arrested four adults and six juveniles that ranged for 15 to 17 years old. The investigation revealed that the fight was between individuals associated with the Sureño and Norteño gangs, a press release from the Medford Police said.

Lt. Bob Hansen said the gang problem is on the rise in Southern Oregon ....“It’s getting worse in Medford. I’ve been here since the 1980 and I think gangs have finally moved up from, maybe from the South. More than it used to be.”

The ages of gang members are only getting younger, according to Joe Ferguson, the Deputy Director for the Juvenile Detention Hall in Medford.[snip]

Executed Illegal Aliens last words, "Viva Mexico!"

2011-07-08T09:15:00.000-07:00

38 year old Humberto Leal Garcia came to this country illegally at age 2 in search of the "American Dream". Unfortunately, in his case and thousands like him, their dream is raping and murdering innocent US citizen children and exploiting our legal system and laws.

Yesterday, in the State of Texas, justice long delayed was served over the objections of the Mexican Government, President Obama and former President George W. Bush, who all lined up in support of saving his miserable, monstrous life, simply because he was born somewhere else. Untold millions of tax payer dollars over many years was spent giving Leal the best legal defense .... a defense you or I as CITIZENS will never get.

Leal lived in this country, plundered its best resources for his own gain, and like most Mexicans his allegiance to his last breath was with Mexico.*
This is the face of the undocumented 'immigrant' from south of the border.
U.S. Texas executes Mexican after court stay rejected

One more thing," he said as the drugs began taking effect. Then he shouted twice, "Viva Mexico!"

Relatives of Garcia gathered in Guadalupe, Mexico, and burned a T-shirt with an image of the U.S. flag in protest, according to CBS.

We are not surprised that Obama came to the defense of this monster, he needs all the imported 3rd world votes he can get, and this perp would have been eligible for the 'Dream Act' Amnesy, but it is disappointing that Bush chose him over US children and international/Mexican law over our own.

In 2005, President George W. Bush agreed with an International Court of Justice ruling that Leal and 50 other Mexican-born inmates nationwide should be entitled to new hearings in U.S. courts to determine if their consular rights were violated. The Supreme Court later overruled Bush.

*Poll: Mexicans say Mexican-Americans Owe Loyalty to Mexico Over U.S.
Thu Oct 15 11:51:17 2009 ·

(CNSNews.com) - Nearly 70 percent of Mexicans surveyed said that Mexican-Americans – including those born in the United States – owe their primary loyalty to Mexico, not the U.S.

FAST AND FURIOUS UPDATE!

Here, in April of 2009, Atty. Gen. Eric Holder was in Mexico bragging about how much taxpayer money he's going to spend on Project Gun Runner! Just last week he acted like he had never heard of it!

Holder: "Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail."

"Follow the money!"

Some enterprising citizen reporters have some good facts here!

This is a SCANDAL like we've never seen. Mexico is angry...this
administration will give them EVERYTHING (translation: AMNESTY,
billions more of YOUR dollars, not prosecuting Mexico's criminals...)
to cover this up!

Operation Gunrunner was funded by the 2009 Stimulus Package
7/7/2011 | Domandred

Posted on Thu Jul 7 10:06:47 2011 by Domandred
I remember seeing Project Gunrunner in a bill that was discussed
here. The original thread about it was a rumor thread that HR45 had
been rolled into the stimulus package.

In that thread I scanned the text of H.R.1 American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 for gun, firearm, etc and came up with a hit.

I posted in the thread: "Only time “gun” or “firearm” appears is in
the part that give $10,000,000 to the ATF for Project Gunrunner. That
was H.R. 495, asking for 15,000,000 for Gunrunner".

H.R. 495 that I mentioned never made it out of committee, but it looks
as it was to specifically fund Gunrunner.

Instead portions of it were rolled into the stimulus package a month
later. That text found in H.R.1 is:

For an additional amount for ‘State and Local Law Enforcement
Assistance’, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance
and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and
in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics
activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall
be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner.

Notice that's $40,000,000 for Southern border enforcement, $10,000,000
of which specifically for Project Gunrunner. What does $10 million pay
for here? It didn't hire any new agents that I am aware of.

REFERENCE America's Third War: Is the U.S. Arming Mexican Cartels?
FoxNews.com | May 31, 2011 | William La Jeunesse
FR Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 by neverdem

If you ever watch video or look at pictures of Mexican drug wars, you
see some pretty heavy weapons. It is a war being waged with rockets
and plastic explosives, not pea shooters and Saturday Night Specials.

Consider these incidents:- A M26A2 fragmentation grenade used against
a U.S. Consulate in Mexico in 2008 - Explosive projectiles and 21
grenades found during a raid in Guadalupe - An unexploded grenade and
pull ring used to attack a TV station in Monterrey - Automatic
weapons, including U.S.-made M16s, found at a cartel crime scene in
May 2009- U.S. military-issued ammunition found in a cartel raid in
Reynosa in November 2008. You can't buy this stuff at a U.S. gun
store. So where do the cartels get it?

According to leaked diplomatic cables, there are three sources.

1. US Defense Department shipments to Latin America, known and tracked
by the US State Department as "foreign military sales."

2. Weapons ordered by the Mexican government, tracked by the State
Department as "direct commercial sales."

3. Aging, but plentiful arsenals of military weapon stores in
Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua.

Even though these facts were well-known by the Obama administration,
including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric
Holder, it blamed much of the violence in Mexico on US gun shops.
"More than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United
States, many from gun shops that line our border," President Obama
said in February 2009.

"Operation Fast and Furious": Allen West calls for Eric Holder to be Removed

[snip]"This is just another sad chapter in the Eric Holder book of ineptness and incompetence," West said. "Eric Holder needs to be brought before an investigative committee and if those charges are warranted he needs to be held accountable.

"At least the president needs to realize that Eric Holder needs to be removed from the Department of Justice … or else it appears President Obama is complicit and in approval of the actions of his attorney general," he said.

On another note, in an article by the Center for immigration Studies:

Is Releasing a Border Strategy Tomorrow; Does Anyone Care?

[snip]July 6, 2011

Local TV in Arizona has reported that on Thursday, July 7, 2011, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, with Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin and Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske, will be announcing the 2011 Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy in Nogales, Ariz.

I wonder to the extent Secretary Napolitano will acknowledge Operation Fast and Furious as one of many failed – in fact neglectful – programs from last year. Yet, Attorney General Holder, who has current oversight over Operation Fast and Furious, will not be joining Secretary Napolitano to add to the transparency of the discussion regarding this horrid operation, let alone fill out the details on the rest of the counternarcotics strategy, which typically includes a large cache of work for federal prosecutors dealing with the cartel's criminal, immigration and smuggling activities, alongside the FBI and DEA's activities. How convenient. The secretary can buck the questions regarding the ATF, FBI, DEA, and all other highly pertinent counternarcotics strategy questions because it is not within her jurisdiction.

Maybe I'll be wrong. Yet unless the Attorney General is a surprise guest, I doubt this press conference will be more than the rhetoric the secretary herself complains about incessantly. Nor will we learn how the ugly operations of cartels are being stemmed in any real way.

Jailed Border Agent Jesus Diaz Denied Bond; Family Speaks Out
by Alex Newman
Monday, 27 June 2011

Agent Diaz was prosecuted and jailed after the Mexican government filed a complaint alleging that he pulled on the handcuffs of a suspected illegal-immigrant drug smuggler. Two oversight agencies cleared him of wrongdoing, but the U.S. Department of Justice decided to take on the case anyway.

After a mistrial, Diaz was eventually convicted earlier this year. He could face well over a decade in prison. Because former law enforcement officers are regularly targeted by other inmates, Diaz has been in solitary confinement ever since.

U.S. District Court judge Alia Ludlum refused the request of Diaz to be let out on bond prior to sentencing. His wife, Diana (picture, above), who still works for the Border Patrol, said judge Ludlum denied the motion because, according to the court, her husband is a “danger to the community.”[snip]

[snip]MEXICO – The clashes between drug traffickers and agents of the U.S. Border Patrol has increased 200 percent, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) . According to data published by the digital version of El Universal , it was members of the Gulf cartel who attacked Border Patrol agents on June 9 in Texas, noting that criminal organizations are desperate and do not want to lose more drug shipments.

Between fiscal years 2004 and 2009, according to the Department of Customs and Border Protection, as quoted by El Universal , the attacks grew from 356 to 1,073, ie 200 percent. According to Steve McGraw, director of the Department of Public Safety Texas, who said that criminal gangs are uswing the most advanced weapons technology, have an unlimited budget, and they have no rules to follow and have very good countertactics. Of open shootouts in the last 18 months, according to the official, he added 44 suspected drug traffickers attacked U.S. agents.

The sudden media obsession with Michelle Bachmann may be just a ploy to avoid mentioning HERMAN CAIN. CBS, PBS and most of them reported Bachmann/Romney being neck to neck in recent polling and reported Newt and the rest of the losers at the bottom of the poll...BUT they avoided # 3..HERMAN CAIN. NO! Don't want the public to know about the likes of conservatives like him and Allen West!

And Sarah Palin? Is she running???? DEJA VU! Baby! Fred Thompson pulled this same stunt, couldn't bother to show for debates, wouldn't declare, kept everyone from even looking at anyone else! And the same republicans are falling for it again! And what do Palin and ol' Fred have have in common??? JOHN MCCAIN, that's what. 57 states (according to our president!) and Palin chooses Arizona to move to.....curious!

HERMAN CAIN says voter ID laws not discriminatory: Civil rights groups encourage voter fraud by opposing voter identification bills, Herman Cain said Wednesday.

“The people who fight against having some type of statewide voter ID with the picture are the very ones who know that all of the fraud is going on,” Cain said of the politically charged issue.

“When you have civil rights organizations who want to jump up and start talking about how it’s in violation of civil rights, that is absolutely not the case. All they’re trying to do is protect the voter fraud that they know is going on," he said during a conference call with tea party activists, following a speech in Aiken, S.C.

WHO else is mentioning ANYTHING about anything related to immigration???

Maybe the folks producing the following have the right idea:

Herman Cain on immigration: [snip]

Illegal immigration has only exacerbated illegal activity, such as the horrendous crimes of drug smuggling and human trafficking. Illegal immigrants who are repeat offenders are harder to track, making it difficult for law enforcement to prevent crime. Further, weak borders have caused a compounding problem of terrorists assimilating with illegal immigrants, crossing the border with them and entering the U.S.

Illegal immigration also puts a tremendous strain on America’s entitlement and health care systems. Illegal immigrants are typically uninsured and cannot afford to pay for their medical care, driving up costs for all Americans, even those actually insured. In fact, several hospitals in the U.S. have declared bankruptcy as a result of the costs of caring for illegal immigrants.

We must secure our borders, enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship. Protecting our nation’s sovereignty should be a paramount concern of those elected to lead us, not an afterthought or a reaction once the problem becomes even worse. Further, taking a stand on the issue does not mean one lacks compassion, but instead, that one respects the rule of law and the importance of not becoming a lawless nation.

"Colossal Failure of Leadership"

[snip] Border agent Brian Terry died upon the dirt of the U.S. Mexican border, fatally wounded by weapons knowingly allowed by the American government to enter into the hands of drug cartel criminals. On Wednesday, June 15th, the story of Brian Terry was told by his fellow border agents and family members to members of Congress. The testimony was both stunning in its emotion, and damning in its condemnation of an ill-conceived government program and failure of an Obama Department of Justice that put border agents and citizens in direct danger on both sides of the border.

Roberty Heyer, who is both the cousin of Brian Terry, as well as a current member of the Secret Service, pleaded with members of Congress to help ensure that “all those involved in Project Gunrunner that facilitated the death of Brian Terry be prosecuted.” Agent Heyer had also earlier indicated his concern that FBI officials appeared “hesitant” to involve themselves in the still ongoing Gunrunner investigation.

Mexico vs. USA...Hypocrisy in Action

2011-06-27T14:35:00.000-07:00

From an LA Times article about the insulting of our U.S. soccer team and this nation on OUR soil, by an overwhelmingly Latino audience during a U.S. vs Mexico match at the Rose Bowl

“I love this country, it has given me everything that I have, and I’m proud to be part of it,” said Victor Sanchez, a 37-year-old Monrovia resident wearing a Mexico jersey. “But yet, I didn’t have a choice to come here, I was born in Mexico, and that is where my heart will always be.”

This happens every year.....and every year it shocks the senses. Or it should. But by next week, most of us will forget about it, pretend Mexico is not our enemy, like we do every year. As the Obama administration ushers in an unconstitutional AMNESTY, and illegal alien invaders burn us out one state at a time , we will sit by allowing DHS to incrementally ignore one immigration law after another, being more concerned about some politicians kid, American Idol or the gossip de' jour than the incremental loss of our sovereignty.

Victor Davis Hanson says it best today in his article "Mexifornia, quite Literally!"

"When a foreign nation is treated as the home team, and when the home team is booed in the Rose Bowl, I think we can see why the entire open-borders, non-enforcement, ‘La Raza’ paradigm of tribal chauvinism based on ethnic solidarity has been proven an abject failure — summed up by one word, “hypocrisy.” Of course, if America asks nothing of the would-be immigrant — no legality upon entrance, no knowledge of the English language or American customs, no proof of autonomy and independence from government entitlement — then tens of thousands of American residents booing the very mention of America is logical and would, of course, continue until and unless fundamental ideas about illegal immigration, assimilation, and national identity change.

QUESTION!

Where is their outrage over GUNWALKER??????

Breaking News!
HEADLINE: New Mexico rancher Larry Link murdered by illegal alien
Examiner.com ^ | 6/7/2011 | Kimberly Dvorack

Hidalgo County Sheriff Department has confirmed that New Mexico rancher, Larry Link, was murdered earlier today on his property.

Sources are reporting that the rancher was responding to an alleged- illegal alien on his property at Stein’s Ghost Town when the he was gunned-down. The murder took place on the southwest side of the state near the Arizona border on Interstate 10 at mile marker three.

The Hidalgo Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the scene, only to find the rancher had already died.

UPDATE: 6/9/11
[snip]STEINS, New Mexico (KGUN9-TV) - The family of a man shot and killed in a New Mexico ghost town Tuesday is outraged by reports identifying their father as a rancher (They say he was a businessman).....Several family members told KGUN 9 On Your Side that they do not want Larry Link's murder to be used for political gain when it comes to illegal immigration.
Note: Something VERY strange about this situation! Time will tell....

COMMENTS, BEST of the Web!

"Every time an illegal kills an American, a liberal gets his wings.*

If you had illegals from Mexico ramming jet planes into American skyscrapers, the liberals and most conservative elitists would still do nothing to secure the border, because that would be racist against illegals.

We have learned nothing from 9/11, except to molest old women and young children at the airports, because, after all, they are the real threat to national security. /s"

"From a recent GAO Report:

The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico. The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased about 7 percent from about 51,000 in fiscal year 2005 while the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails increased about 35 percent from about 220,000 in fiscal year 2003. The time period covered by these data vary because they reflect updates since GAO last reported on these issues in 2005. Specifically, in 2005, GAO reported that the percentage of criminal aliens in federal prisons was about 27 percent of the total inmate population from 2001 through 2004.

Of the nearly 3 million arrest offenses in our study population, we estimate that about 50 percent were related to immigration, drugs, or traffic violations. Note 25,064 were arrested on homicide charges."

Perilous parks: Entrants tied to costly wildfires

Tab for fighting eight blazes put at $5.1 million By Mitch Tobin Arizona Star

Illegal border crossers are suspected of causing eight major wildfires in Southern Arizona this year, sticking taxpayers with $5.1 million in firefighting costs.

Those eight fires charred 68,413 acres - nearly 108 square miles - near the border,

Horseshoe 2 fire becomes 5th largest wildfire in Arizona history

HEADLINE:
SW area issues warning for firefighters working near US/Mexico border 6/2/2011

[snip]In what seems to be an annual occurrence, the Southwest Geographic Area has issued another “Safety Alert” with the subject: “US – Mexico Border Fire Operations Safety”. Saying the border area has become “increasingly dangerous” to firefighters, they listed in the two-page document some watchout situations:

According to the Arizona Central:

As the Horseshoe Two Fire in remote southeastern Arizona has grown, so has its cost - $19 million so far.

The fire, now the sixth largest in Arizona history, has consumed 66,290 acres and firefighters say it will grow because the rugged terrain has made it an additional challenge to contain it. The terrain has meant additional transportation costs such as helicopters to move people and equipment.

The Rodeo-Chedeski Fire remains the largest in Arizona history and cost $43 million.

Documented in the archives of TheTownCrier are the many fires in California, and the Pacific NW ignited by illegal alien drug cartels. Alone, one of the largest, the La Brea, consumed 88,000 acres in California.
Investigators revealed that the La Brea Fire was started by a cooking fire in a marijuana drug trafficking operation.

Headline: AZ Rancher: Illegals Have Set 11 Fires in the Last 3 Years

The Tucson Citizen reported:

Ed Ashurst is a rancher who lives over by the Chricahua Mountains in eastern Arizona. Here is a commentary he wrote on Sunday May 15th about the huge fire that is burning down the countryside over there:

There Are No Cool Heads in Portal
By Ed Ashurst

[snip] Portal, Arizona is a beautiful place. Located in the mouth of Cave Creek on the eastern slope of the Chiracahua Mountains, it is not much more than a hole in a road, which continues west to the town of Paradise, and eventually ascends to the top of the mountain at a campground located at a spot called Rustler Park. The small populace of Portal is partially made up of retirees, wealthy enough to own a piece of the pricey land; not a few who could be described as liberal academics. A short distance up the canyon is The Southwest Research Station of The Museum of Natural History. This area, and the Chiracahua range as a whole, is the best example of neo-tropical bird habitat in the United States. It is the home of: the greater and lesser long-nosed bat, the famous trogon, the so-called “endangered” spotted owl, and hundreds of other rare species. It is bird watcher’s paradise. It is burning down.

About a week ago, what is now being called Horseshoe Fire #2 was started by illegal aliens in the area of Burro Springs near the headwaters of Horseshoe Canyon. Border Patrol agents tracked four aliens to the very start of the fire. The first Forest Service fire fighters to arrive at the site observed the same tracks. Horseshoe Fire #1 was started near the same spot almost exactly a year ago, also ignited by illegal aliens. In the last 3 years alone no less than 11 fires have been started by illegal aliens in the Chiracahua Mountains and the adjacent Peloncillo Mountains. No less than 120 thousand acres have burned. The cost to the American taxpayers to fight these fires is nearing $70 million. The U.S. Forest Service itself admitted that Horseshoe Fire #1 cost in excess of $10 million to fight.

Feces & Urine Problem In Downtown El Paso

Posted on Fri Jun 3 http://www.ktsm.com/news/feces-urine-problem-in-downtown-el-paso ^

EL PASO - It's disgusting, unsanitary and it's going to leave you shaking your head. Migrant workers have turned a Downtown El Paso alley into a gigantic toilet.

Human urine stains the walls and feces is piled up in an alley that's just blocks away from the Convention Center and other tourist hotspots.

"If they don't let you go inside, you have to go anywhere. That's why El Paso is like that," Roberto Miranda said.

Miranda is a migrant worker. He sleeps outside of the Farm Workers Center, like at-least one-hundred other people, and he waits for work in the early morning hours. The disgusting alley is around the corner from the center. Miranda admits the migrant workers us it as their personal toilet.[snip]

'Business death penalty' for hiring illegal workers is upheld by Supreme Court (5 - 3)
La Times

The 5-3 decision gives states more authority to act against illegal immigrants. Justices rule that states can take away the business licenses of companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

[Justice] Roberts noted that eight other states had passed similar laws. They are Colorado, Mississippi, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

The other Arizona law involving police enforcement has been challenged — successfully, so far — by the Obama administration and civil-rights groups. They say enforcement of laws against illegal immigration is exclusively in the hands of federal authorities. [snips]

"In dissent were Justices Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor."

Failed State Colonization-THE GREATEST THREAT OF OUR TIME!

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Let's compare two countries side by side. Country A has a sizable middle class and economy, social welfare benefits and a low birth rate. Country B is a failed state where thugs run amok in the street, a few families control the economy and the birth rate is off the charts.

Country A's citizens are taught that nationalism is evil and that everyone should get along. Country B's citizens are taught that they are the greatest people that ever lived and would be running the world if not for Country A. But despite all this, Country B's citizens all want to move to Country A. And Country A wants to let them. Because Country A needs new workers to subsidize its welfare state and voters who will vote for pro-social welfare parties.

Since Country B's workers want the social welfare benefits, they move to Country A. Country A ends up with a huge failed state population and dramatically increases its social welfare spending for them. Bankruptcy threatens, but change is almost impossible because the pro-social welfare benefits party has become very hard to beat. The pro-reform parties no longer tackle immigration, but try to get the immigrant vote. Their reforms turn into band aids. Country A slides toward the abyss. Country B continues shipping more immigrants every year who remain loyal to its culture and religion.

Country B is a failed state. But Country A is also turning into a failed state as it imports Country B's surplus population, along with its criminality, its political culture and its ignorance across the border.[snip]http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2011/05/failed-state-colonization-greatest.html

Over 27,000 pounds of Marijuana and multiple weapons linked to drug smuggling organization

[snip]The San Miguel Gate area is a remote U.S./Mexico border location on the Tohono O’Odham Indian Reservation which allows tribal members to pass freely between the United States and Mexico. Law enforcement intelligence has linked over 150 drug seizures since May 2008 totaling approximately 28,000 pounds of marijuana to the Valencia-Rodriguez DTO. In February, 2010, law enforcement officials also seized 41 assault weapons in the San Miguel vicinity which were en-route from Phoenix, Arizona to Valencia-Rodriguez in Mexico. The Valencia-Rodriguez organization uses compartments in vehicles, ramped vehicle loads, concealed tire loads, and backpackers to facilitate drug transportation operations in the remote desert area.

Newt "AMNESTY" Gingrich....Lest we forget!

2011-05-19T09:49:00.000-07:00

Over the past few years, TheTownCrier has brought you facts about immigration and those pushing amnesty. Right at the front of the line was always CFR member, presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich, flanked by his open border, jihadist Muslim loving cohort, Grover Norquist.

Newt bashes conservatives every chance he gets and this week undermining Rep. Paul Ryan and his proposals to harness our national debt was the target. Newt will play conservative when it suits him, problem is it doesn't suit him often. Gingrich openly pushed the Bush/Kennedy/McCain AMNESTY......in a letter he wrote to the WSJ

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.

In his much touted 'Contract with America'....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush's amnesty is the 'only way to go'.

The Wall Street Journal February 6, 2004 - Welcome to America

[snip]Fifteen authors offer this "Conservative Statement of Principles on Immigration"

Co-authored by Stuart Anderson, Jeff Bell, Linda Chavez, Larry Cirignano, Cesar V. Conda, Francis Fukuyama, Richard Gilder , Newt Gingrich, Ed Goeas, Tamar Jacoby, Jack Kemp, Steve Moore, Grover Norquist, Richard W. Rahn and Malcolm Wallop.

These are the people who would populate a 'Gingrich' administration!

Newt's voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: " Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders."

His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.

And these are the people Newt would reward with AMNESTY and Citzenship!

Illegal alien arrested for abduction, sexual assault of 9-year-old in California

By Dave Gibson, Immigration Reform Examiner
May 18th, 2011 8:24 am ET

On Tuesday, police in Riverside announced that Jose Wilson Rojas Guzman, 30, was being charged for the brutal abduction of a 9-year-old girl. The crime occurred on May 8.
According to police, Guzman entered the girl’s bedroom through an unlocked window as she slept.

She was allegedly taken from the home by Guzman, and violently sexually assaulted before being dumped out of his pickup truck. The victim’s two younger siblings, who were also sleeping in the family’s apartment, were not harmed.

The girl went to nearby homes and began knocking on doors, screaming for help. She was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Riverside Police Chief Sergio G. Diaz, told reporters: “This is a particularly brutal crime. We'd be very surprised, given what we know about sexual predators, that this was his first time out.... It's altogether possible that this individual left the victim for dead. Her injuries were that severe.

At one time, the Mexican national rented a room from the girl’s mother. He was first questioned on May 9, and held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement until he was charged on Tuesday.

Guzman has been charged with attempted murder, kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault.
He is currently being held at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside on an ICE detainer. Investigators believe that Guzman may have victimized other girls in the area and are asking that anyone with information about the kidnapping or Guzman was to call Riverside Police Det.

John Boehner is just being John Boehner, the weeping, spineless RINO, he's always been!

Mark Steyn: "No, I don’t. I don’t, to be honest. I think John Boehner has been an incredible disappointment. I think John Boehner has basically climbed into the Bob Dole suit, and I think they misunderstand the lessons of the 2010 election, which is that the Tea Party chose to work within the diseased husk of the Republican Party it loathes. And it still hasn’t forgiven for 2006 and 2008. So for the Republicans to demonstrate that hey, we’re back to 2006 again, except on Obama-level spending, is not a good idea. We need Republicans to at least take the lead in broadening public discourse. This country is broke. It’s the brokest country in the history of the planet. And the idea of arguing over itsy-bitsy, half a billion here and half a billion there, and continuing resolutions staggering forward every ten days, is preposterous. It’s inadequate to the task. It’s inadequate for the challenge facing America."

TUCSON — Nogales station Border Patrol agents prevented nearly 5,000 rounds of ammunition from being smuggled out of the United States and into the hands of transnational criminal organizations in Mexico on Sunday.

Agents from the Nogales Border Patrol station responded to reports of three suspicious individuals dressed in black carrying backpacks just north of the International Boundary Fence (IBF). Upon arrival, agents observed one subject fitting the description running south, leaving behind three backpacks. At the same time, operators using a Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS) observed two other subjects absconding into Mexico over the IBF.

During an inspection of the three backpacks, agents discovered 4,951 rounds of 9 mm and 500 rounds of .40-caliber pistol ammunition. The ammunition was seized and transported to the Nogales Border Patrol station.

Some of the ammunition border officials confiscated on Sunday.

Flashing suspect arrested near elementary school

Whitney Clark/KTVL News

MEDFORD, Ore. -- A man was arrested Wednesday afternoon for exposing his genitals, just steps away from Washington Elementary in Medford.

Police caught the suspected flasher, 19-year-old Sergio Cortes Gomez, on his bike. They recieved calls from parents of the school, who said he was exposing himself in an alleyway.

Although it didn't take long for police to track him down, they had problems communicating with him.

"It appears that he's deaf," said Sgt. Phil Eastman with the Medford Police Department.

Gomez was handcuffed outside of the Peach Street Market & Deli, on the corner of Peach street and 13th Street.

"It's disappointing," said Leslie McKenzie, who was working at the market when Gomez was arrested. "I would think people could behave themselves around children. But unfortunately that's just not the case."

Police said Gomez lives in the neighborhood where he was arrested. McKenzie said he often comes into the store.

"He wears a hearing aid," she said. "He doesn't speak English at all, only speaks Spanish but does best with sign language."

Gomez was issued a citation and was released. He will soon have to appear in court.

"We take this very seriously," said Sgt. Eastman. "Especially when it's in front of an elementary school." (STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!)

Heroes Among us! Federal Agent John Dodson needs your support!

Yes, they still exist, deep from the bowels of the bureaucracy comes an American willing to put his livelihood and well being on the line to protect his country. The scandal makes Ruby Ridge and Waco look like a picnic!

The BATF, straight down from Eric Holder's Justice Dept, was instructed to let guns flow into Mexico, one of which was used by Mexican Drug Cartels to murder Border Agent Brian Terry.

The scandal is known as 'Project Gunwalker', and if you don't know about it, you better find out.
This brave BATF agent needs our support. So far Sen. Chas. Grassley is the only one paying attention.

Video ATF agent: It's not over
ATF special agent John Dodson explained to Sharyl Attkisson that there is no telling where their gun exchange program will end.

(CBS News)

WASHINGTON - Federal agent John Dodson says what he was asked to do was beyond belief.

He was intentionally letting guns go to Mexico?

"Yes ma'am," Dodson told CBS News. "The agency was."

An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen.

Investigators call the tactic letting guns "walk." In this case, walking into the hands of criminals who would use them in Mexico and the United States.

"I'm boots on the ground in Phoenix, telling you we've been doing it every day since I've been here," he said. "Here I am. Tell me I didn't do the things that I did. Tell me you didn't order me to do the things I did. Tell me it didn't happen. Now you have a name on it. You have a face to put with it. Here I am. Someone now, tell me it didn't happen."

Agent Dodson and other sources say the gun walking strategy was approved all the way up to the Justice Department. The idea was to see where the guns ended up, build a big case and take down a cartel. And it was all kept secret from Mexico.

ATF named the case "Fast and Furious."

Surveillance video obtained by CBS News shows suspected drug cartel suppliers carrying boxes of weapons to their cars at a Phoenix gun shop. The long boxes shown in the video being loaded in were AK-47-type assault rifles.

So it turns out ATF not only allowed it - they videotaped it.

Documents show the inevitable result: The guns that ATF let go began showing up at crime scenes in Mexico. And as ATF stood by watching thousands of weapons hit the streets... the Fast and Furious group supervisor noted the escalating Mexican violence.

One e-mail noted, "958 killed in March 2010 ... most violent month since 2005." The same e-mail notes: "Our subjects purchased 359 firearms during March alone," including "numerous Barrett .50 caliber rifles."

Dodson feels that ATF was partly to blame for the escalating violence in Mexico and on the border. "I even asked them if they could see the correlation between the two," he said. "The more our guys buy, the more violence we're having down there."

Senior agents including Dodson told CBS News they confronted their supervisors over and over.

Their answer, according to Dodson, was, "If you're going to make an omelette, you've got to break some eggs."

There was so much opposition to the gun walking, that an ATF supervisor issued an e-mail noting a "schism" among the agents. "Whether you care or not people of rank and authority at HQ are paying close attention to this case...we are doing what they envisioned.... If you don't think this is fun you're in the wrong line of work... Maybe the Maricopa County jail is hiring detention officers and you can get $30,000 ... to serve lunch to inmates..."

"We just knew it wasn't going to end well. There's just no way it could," Dodson said.
