The pro AMNESTY, cheap labor KOCH Bros. - Another Conservative Fantasy!

I can't tell you how many times in the last month good republicans have gone after me because I dared to disclose the truth about the KOCH Bros. Misguided conservatives are all taken in at the idea the Kochs might buy some big newspapers and they're singing the praises of their rich 'saviors'...they simply won't hear that the Kochs have ALWAYS been pro amnesty....contributed hugely to Marco Rubio and hire GRover Norquist to do their bidding. 

The Norquist fraud group ATR got millions from the Kochs last year & millions from Karl Roves' pac who gets money from the KOCHS. They're for every 'free trade' , cheap labor agreement and same sex marriage.
What is it going to take to get the conservative base to look at FACTS!??

Conservatives!  YOU are your own worst enemy! CLEAN OUT YOUR OWN MESS FIRST!  Your conservative institutions/idols have been take over!   They do not serve you!  They have blood on their hands for facilitating this uncontrolled migration for decades!
WAKE THE HELL UP!

Koch Sponsors Pro-Amnesty BuzzFeed Event

An event touting itself as an evening of immigration reform discussion with a "diversity of opinion" turns out to be slanted heavily towards "comprehensive immigration reform." The BuzzFeed Brews Special Edition: Immigration Summit, sponsored by the Charles Koch Institute, will take place Tuesday, May 14th from 6 PM - 8 PM Eastern Time. The Charles Koch Institute is an educational offshoot of the Charles Koch Foundation. 

It's an unusual pairing: BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith has a reputation for liberal bias (he recently blamed "the right" for conditions of Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic) will be the moderator; Charles Koch, founder of the libertarian CATO Institute, is one of the people most reviled by the left.
The goal of the event is described as follows:

[W]e believe one of the best ways to turn conversations into solutions is through the challenge of assumptions and exchange of ideas. Our event on immigration aims to do just that by bringing together a diversity of opinions for a thoughtful dialogue.

At first glance, the panel appears diverse: the six invitees include a Democrat politician, a Republican politician, two members of conservative organizations, one from a liberal Hispanic/Latino organization, and one from a libertarian think tank.
Looking closer, however, five of the invitees are strongly in favor of the comprehensive immigration reform/amnesty package being put forward by the "Gang of Eight" in Congress. Only one guest--from The Heritage Foundation--has been critical of the proposed immigration reform package. Additionally, an illegal immigrant who is an award-winning journalist will be assisting in broadcasting the event.
Here's the lineup:
Clarissa Martinez, Director of Immigration & National Campaigns at National Council of La Raza: NCLR has been funded by George Soros's Open Society Foundation, describes itself as "the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States," and has been a major supporter of the current immigration reform bill. La Raza and Ms. Martinez were directly involved in a controversial memo that granted de facto amnesty by changing ICE policy in 2012. Ironically, La Raza joined with the NAACP and other institutional left to protest in front of the Koch Industries offices months ago, accusing the Kochs of savaging democracy.
Mario Lopez, President at Hispanic Leadership Fund: The group describes itself as center-right and says its mission is "strengthening working families by promoting common-sense public policy solutions rooted in free enterprise, limited government, and individual freedom." The group is strongly supportive of "comprehensive immigration reform."
The advisory board of the Hispanic Leadership Fund includes Grover Norquist, who has been strongly critical of the recent Heritage Foundation report that claims that the proposed 800+ page immigration reform bill will have a long-term cost of over $6 trillion. Lopez was involved in what some are calling a "smear of immigration hawks" when he launched a guilt-by-association attack on Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies for supposedly not sharing conservative policy goals.
Joaquin Castro: A freshman Democrat congressman from Texas and the twin brother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Their mother, Maria "Rosie" Castro, was a community organizer and helped found the socialist, anti-Anglo political group La Raza Unidas (The Race United), whose goal is the "the Liberation of Aztlan, and that Aztlan is composed of five southwestern states; California, Arizona, Nuevo Mexico, Tejas and Colorado." Joaquin has done a number of talk show appearances and has been described as "the unofficial ambassador on immigration for the Obama Administration."
Luis G. Fortuño, former Governor of Puerto Rico: A Republican, he is on the Advisory Board of the Hispanic Leadership Fund. In 2007, he supported Gang of Eight member Jeff Flake's STRIVE act (co-sponsored with Democrat Luis Gutierrez) that included amnesty, saying, "Only a comprehensive immigration reform plan like the STRIVE Act will help us achieve an effective, lasting, and viable solution to the immigration issues facing our nation."
Jose Antonio Vargas will be live-tweeting the event. Although he's not a panelist, Mr. Vargas is a participant and is mentioned promimently on the website advertising the event. He's a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, as well as an undocumented alien who revealed his illegal status over a year ago. He discusses his status as an unrepentant illegal alien in an essay on his blog entitled Not Legal, Not Leaving.
Alex Nowrasteh, Immigration Policy Analyst at The Cato Institute: CATO has been helping to push the immigration reform bill and has been a harsh critic of The Heritage Foundation's report. CATO touts the fact that Nowrasteh's criticism of the Heritage report was cited on MSNBC. Nowrasteh was also cited by Jennifer Rubin's roundup of Heritage critiques: "[He] accused Heritage of not following years of their own work, which has striven to look at the impact on behavior of changes resulting from reforming the tax code and other innovations." Breitbart News revealed Nowrasteh's involvement in coordinated emails with Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform attacking the Heritage report.
Derrick Morgan, VP of Domestic & Economic Policy at The Heritage Foundation.
The mix of Buzzfeed and Charles Koch would be unusual on almost any other issue but the not-so-subtle goal of the event as demonstrated by its lineup has not gone unnoticed even beyond conservative circles.  Dave Weigel notes in Slate:

[A]s a veteran of the Koch-funded Reason magazine, I can report that the libertarian brothers have always put their money behind immigration reform. Maybe that complicates their newfound (well, 3-year-old) role as all-purpose rich guy demons; they're sponsoring a night of debates intended to nudge along immigration reform.

Expect plenty of nudging at the Koch-sponsored BuzzFeed Brews event; a night of exhibition insider baseball where BuzzFeed Ben Smith underhands softballs to his pro-immigration reform panelists, who will do their best to drill them right at The Heritage Foundation.

FLASHBACK!  CESAR CONDA, Rubio's chief of staff

Florida Elections: The Crist to Rubio Switch (A former Dick Cheney assistant changes his mind)  National Review ^ | 02/09/2010 | Cesar Conda
 
[snip]  Charlie Crist, if elected, would make a fine U.S. senator, and would probably be a reliable Republican vote on most issues. But I think Marco Rubio is more likely to be a leader when it comes to putting foward innovative conservative policy reforms and alternatives to America's problems.
I've rounded up a group of friends, including Rep. Paul Ryan, Mary Matalin, former Rep. Vin Weber, Liz Cheney, former Sen. Bob Kasten, and former Rep. J. C. Watts, among others, to host an evening reception in my offices (901 7th Street, N.W., Washington) for Rubio after his speech before CPAC on Thursday, February 18. I'd invite all Corner readers to come over to meet Marco, who I believe will be Florida's next U.S. Senator.
— Cesar Conda was assistant for domestic policy to Vice President Dick Cheney and senior economic policy adviser to the 2008 Mitt Romney for President Campaign. (AND mentor of Paul Ryan)
TEA PARTY...you got used REAL GOOD!    IF Conservatives  HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT  BY NOW  THAT YOU'VE BEEN USED AND SOLD OUT BY THE GOP, YOU NEVER WILL!   How does a player like Conda get to be a lowly state rep's chief of staff...WHO hired WHO????

AND THIS:  Reid attacks Cruz as ‘very junior senator’
The Daily Caller ^ | 5/7/13 | Alex Pappas 

Senator Cruz!  You need to remind Reid of his own words a few years ago before he got bought off by big gambling money!

[snip]
“Reid, now an impassioned champion of amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens in America, once called illegal aliens “free loaders and scam artists” which he proposed to deal with in his Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993.” That proposed legislation was introduced to the floor of the US Senate with the following press release, in part, issued by Reid's office on August 5, 1993. "In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country."  

YO!! GOP...YOUR base doesn't want this  AMNESTY!  AND STOP saying it isn't AMNESTY!

Musings from TheTownCrier:
I can imagine a backroom filled with politicians, their friends and lobbyists and young upstarts. An old, seasoned legislooter is advising the young one.
The young one says, “I hate those darn republicans!”.
The old guy says, “ Now, Son, There must be one or two things you like about ‘em! Think REAL hard!”
“Well”, the youngster says, “ I kinda hate that we have to pay so damn much in taxes, now that I’m making some money!”
“There ya go, boy! That’s why you got us...to tell us how ya really feel....You just keep preachin’ it...Hell! Sell it! Make some bucks along the way! Congratulations! You are now a CONSERVATIVE!”
And THAT is how a Grover Norquist is born. And many of them. I keep thinking about Norquist and Rove's close association with the College/Young Republicans and their offshoot, the Log Cabin Republicans. There for the picking! And sometimes they find a Marco Rubio.


AND ONE MORE THING! 
Sarah Palin is giving her opinion on the internet tax just passed by the Senate.  In fact, she has an opinion on just about everything...most of the time I agree with her.  But NOT ONE WORD about this 'immigration reform' or the gang of 8.  I've been waiting and watching...ZIP!
WHAT SAY YOU SARAH????   SILENCE IS CONSENT!!!  

LIE of the WEEK! More Norquist Nasties!

Polls come and go, but consistently, when not using leading language, the American people....especially republicans......do NOT want the Cartel del Ocho AMNESTY!

But that doesn't stop Marco Rubio's main mouthpiece, Grover Norquist.

This traitor will stop at nothing!! How does any conservative still excuse Norquist? Now’s he’s working with gun grabber  Mike Bloomberg.  With Grover on the board of the NRA, how long before we see the 2nd Amendment sold out as well??

 Keep in mind, this poll had a different outcome than ALL others! I’ve come to the conclusion Norquist, et al aren’t going after the ‘hispanic vote’ so much as they think they can peel off a percentage of liberals if they keep going left.  The only 'republicans' supporting this nonsense are Turd Blossom Republicans!

 Norquist Poll: 67 percent of Republicans support Senate “Gang of Eight” immigration bill        Palm Beach Post Staff Writer April 25, 2013

According to poll sponsored by anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Partnership for a New American Economy, 67 percent of Republicans support the Senate “Gang of Eight” immigration bill and 61 percent of Republicans believe immigration reforms will improve the economy. Overall, 74 percent of Americans support the reforms, the groups said in a press release Thursday.
“It’s clear that Americans across the country, including the overwhelmingly majority of Republicans, are fed up with an immigration system that is holding back our economy and hasn’t been updated since the age of black-and-white TVs,” said Bloomberg, co-chair of the Partnership for a New American Economy. “Our current immigration laws are no longer sustainable – especially when it comes to the needs of America’s 21st century economy – and people of all political stripes recognize that.”
The poll, done in conjunction with the National Immigration Forum Action Fund, also found that lawmakers stand to gain support from their Republican constituents for backing immigration reform.
“By a more than 4-1 margin, Republicans said they would have a more favorable opinion of their member of Congress rather than a less favorable opinion if they were to support the bipartisan Gang of Eight plan,” the groups said, as they try to nudge some conservative Republicans to support the legislation.

A Center for Immigration Studies poll using neutral language..April 5
* When we asked which of the two approaches they prefer, 82 percent of Republicans said they support reducing the illegal immigrant population, while just 12 percent said they support legalization with conditions.

Rasmussen also reports:   Just 29% Support Immigration Plan Without Tougher Border Control
AND THAT AIN'T the Gang of Eight mess!  April, 2014

Poll: 66% of Democrats Want Border Secured Before Legalization  April 24

A new poll from FoxNews finds that 66% of Democrats believe the border should be secured before the nation considers changes to its immigration policies. 75% of Republicans feel the same. Overall, 68% of voters believe securing the border should come before any moves towards legalization. 

 

Turd Blossom Republicans have sold out Conservatives..WAKE UP...FAST!

New Immigration Reform  (AMNESTY!) Duo: Luis Gutierrez & Paul Ryan!

Isn't this special???
Who says there's no bipartisanship in congress??? 
For those who don’t know, Bush had a nickname for Karl Rove , ‘Turdblossom’. Rove and Norquist really took Bush for a ride. They were at the root of everything he did wrong, especially amnesty.
I say we hijack that name...’turd-blossom Republican’ for the race baiting Condas, Roves, Norquists, Rubios, McCains,  of the world. I think it could catch on. Somehow we have to rid ‘conservatism’ of these people who are identified by the media as being representative of ‘conservatives’. Turd Blossom Republicans. I like it!

And guess what...Ryan, like Rubio,  is a Cesar Conda disciple, too!  We have been SET UP and SOLD OUT! And be sure where you find Conda, you find Norquist and you find Karl Rove.*

 I KNOW it seems simplistic, but I’m telling you all that the same handful of people OWN all these politicians...Ryan, Rubio's  CARTEL OCHO, Romney, all like minded, amnesty lovers GROOMED by powerful LOBBYISTS...CESAR CONDA & GROVER NORQUIST, who serve the interests of the radical LEFT.    And about Ryan/Conda.....

[snip]Creature of Washington

Professionally, Ryan is a creature of Washington insider politics.
He got his first taste of congressional politics as a college intern for U.S. Sen. Bob Kasten of Wisconsin.  The work was not glamorous, often sorting and delivering mail.
“He was as earnest, polite and enthusiastic,” said his friend and mentor, Cesar Conda, who eventually provided a crucial link between Romney and Ryan.
Conda brought Ryan back as an intern the next year.
“He would always pop his head in the door and ask questions about what Senator Kasten was doing,” Conda recalled. “I just gave him two books to read and said, ‘This will get you started.’”
The books were “The Way the World Works,” by Jude Wanniski, and “Wealth and Poverty” by George Gilder, which became the bible for Reagan-era economic policy.

Conda offered Ryan his first paid, full-time job working for Kasten after his graduation in 1992 from Miami University of Ohio, where Ryan double-majored in economics and political science.

PS...Conda was a policy advisor to Romney, too! We were set up LONG ago.
Somehow, we have to give the RNC a message! Please consider changing your voter registration to non affiliated.

Under the draft of the new amnesty, aliens won’t be deported, but the ones who have been deported are going to be allowed to come back! When one of the biggest amnesty hacks is a radical islam associate like Grover Norquist, this is what you get. He and Cesar Conda and the SPLC are writing this amnesty. Yes, gop lobbyists who worked for George Soros and Microsoft write our laws.
Deportees Can Come Back Under Draft Immigration Bill

Hat tip to our friend "Cripplecreek"


AND of course, ALL that really matters is what the left thinks...
"Former George W. Bush advisor,  Karl Rove* said  that Rubio was “the best communicator since Ronald Reagan.” Rove appeared on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier with Democrat Joe Trippi, who also believes that Rubio is the glue that could bring the Republican party together, and come to terms with the Democrats on immigration reform."  NOTE:  This was written By Javier Manjarres on Feb. 4, 2013 Shark Tank!

Obama LIKES Rubio!! THAT should scare you to death! 

The Politico ^ | April 17, 2013 | Katie Glueck

President Barack Obama called Sen. Marco Rubio a “positive force” in the immigration debate and is “reasonably confident” that an immigration deal will be reached, he said in a wide-ranging exclusive interview with NBC’s “Today” show. “I think that he has been a very positive force,” he said of Rubio (R-Fla.)

From NumbersUSA.com

Dear friends of sensible immigration policies,
It’s official, the Gang of 8 has introduced S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, the largest amnesty and immigration increase bill this nation has ever seen. You can be among the first to let your Senators know there is widespread opposition to amnesty and massive increases in foreign workers by calling the Capitol Hill switchboard at 888-978-3094 today.
While the bill is half as long as promised, it’s at least twice as bad as expected.
