Democrats are willing to destroy our way of life and our country by looking at amnesty as a way to increase their voter support. They know that by passing an amnesty bill, they will increase their voter support by 16 million people; that is if all of them register and actually vote. By continuing the nanny state and giving these people health care, welfare and food stamps, the people will stay at or under the poverty level and will pay no taxes, thus guaranteeing democratic voters.
The democrats are not for the poor; they are for the elitists and use the poor as a voter base.
Illegal drugs brought to this country across our southern border destroy 1.6 million teen lives a year. And that doesn’t take into account the number of family members that are affected by these kids addicted to these drugs.
Everyday drugs are being carried across our open border. Every week people die at the hands of drug cartels trafficking drugs across our border.
Our federal government has done nothing to enforce the laws that exist. The people of Arizona -- fed up with the wishy-washy John McCain and his left of center ways passed a state law that in effect, gives state law enforcement the tools in which to carry out the laws dictated by the federal statutes.
There is neither “profiling” nor “racism” in this bill. People will not have to do as the liberal talking heads and the state run media has suggested will happen with the “show me your papers” remarks assimilating the law with Gestapo law enforcement tactics. Nothing could be further from the truth. This law does nothing more than what the federal law already provides for.
Read it for yourself SB1070. If you don’t have time to read the entire law, read at least lines 16 – 31.
There are close to 23 million illegal aliens in this country. The non-Mexican count is 579,543. So you can do the math and see were the major problem is. Additional stat’s can be found here: http://immigrationcounters.com/
So much controversy over racial profiling has been brought up, but if you ask the legal Mexican immigrants and the Mexican-Americans if they mind being questioned, there is a resounding “no problem”. These people have or are in the process of paying their dues to become legal citizens of this country, they play by the rules set up to protect them and us and resent the fact that congress is even considering amnesty.
The illegals are not just taking white American jobs; they are taking jobs from the Mexican-Americans as well.
The cost of Social Services programs since 1996 to handle illegal immigration is a staggering $397+ billion. We cannot afford this cost any longer. We need to elect people to congress that will enforce the laws and protect our borders.
I believe that every one as the right to live in whichever country they want, but I also believe that in order to get the benefits of that country, you must play by the rules. Learn the heritage, learn the language and pay your fair share.

Open Borders
The liberals always jump to conclusions anytime there is a problem. For example, the Times Square bomber that was stopped this week, the Democratic NYC Mayor Bloomberg suggested that it was “probably some right wing nut job that was unhappy with the health care bill” Why would he suggest this?
There has been no reported incident of violence by any conservative, tea party member or for that matter a republican, but the liberals are trying to show tea party members as Timothy McVeigh wannbes.
This is the third attack in a year on our soil. We had the underwear bomber in Detroit, the massacre at Ft. Hood Texas and now this foiled attempt in New York which by the way was thwarted by a newspaper stand vendor, but of course Janet Napolitano took full credit for the capture. Napolitano was of course the one that stated, “the system worked” when the Detroit bomber was captured by passengers after his bomb material failed to ignite.
How can she say, “the system worked” when the system had nothing to do with the detection or capture of this terrorist.
No one in the Obama administration will call these what they are; a terrorist attack. They don’t want to step on any toes in the Muslim world.
They will however call the people of Arizona “racists” for having the guts to enforce the laws that the federal government will not. These are laws already on the books yet the federal government will not enforce them.
The high cost of cheap labor is destroying our country.
According to the Center on Immigration Studies, households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.
Among the largest costs are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion).
Legalization (Amnesty) would increase average tax payments by 77 percent, but average costs would rise by 118 percent.
The Center did two simulations of immigration reform and found that in both cases the deficit left by each illegal household would be -$6,022 and -$7,668 It’s a no win situation. Granting amnesty will not alleviate the problem.
Leaving our borders wide open will however lead to many more attacks on American soil and will certainly kill more people. We need to treat these foiled bombers as if the bombs had gone off and we need to secure our borders now.

Carl Levin and The Bad Old Bankers
Senator Levin hauled in executives from Goldman-Sachs this past week to “scold” them and to try to suggest that they were the cause of the financial melt-down in the housing market. This is a joke and just more political posturing trying to vilify the rich and to try and boost the sagging democratic congressional poll numbers in an election year.
The financial meltdown began with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the “expert tutelage” of Franklin Raines as he and others smoked the books and siphoned off billions of tax payer dollars as bonuses.
Most of all the home mortgages in the U.S. were covered by these 2 democratic controlled lending institutions. You can thank Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for the mortgage meltdown. They both are the chairman of the banking mortgage committees in the house and the senate and both voted against regulating Fannie and Freddie in 2005. Under guidance and control of the federal government Fannie and Freddie were told to keep buying up troubled mortgages, all this while bad mortgages were still being issued.
Janet Reno and several other former employees of Bill Clinton worked and were in charge of Fannie and Freddie. Also, you can thank ex-president and elitist Jimmy Carter for enacting the “Fair Housing Act”. That act forced lending institutions to give mortgages to poor people who could not afford a house. This act was expanded under Clinton in authority by Housing Secretary Cisneros and later Andrew Cuomo; all while being monitored by Barney Frank and Christ Dodd.
All these people mentioned orchestrated this by forcing banks and lending institutions to lend money to poor people that could not afford houses.
Under Housing Secretary Cisneros the law was that every dollar that was lent out by any lending institution had to lend an additional $0.35 to poor people in impoverished areas. Under Housing Secretary Cuomo, that rate was increased to $0.50 for every dollar that was lent out.
When problems started showing up with the mortgage meltdown, Fannie and Freddie were told to start buying up the risky mortgages. To hide this they cooked the books to keep this problem under lock and key. Hence, the mortgage meltdown was created because the “haves” must give to the “have-nots”.
This is socialism at its best. Stop blaming bankers and Wall Street for our problems. Mr. Levin needs to start blaming his liberal socialist agenda that has kidnapped the Democratic Party that believes the money will never run out. When it does, their motto is to borrow more. And when they can’t borrow anymore and they have no answers to solve this collapse of our economy, so they blame the evil capitalist that are wealthy. They make them villains only because they have a lot of money. It must be the rich that caused this problem.
Well, I got news for you; it is the liberal socialist movement that encourages people to be lazy, to become dependent on the government for everything, to hate anyone that is successful, and to become dedicated democratic voters.
Hard working tax payers of America need to wake up. We may have different beliefs, but the one thing we have in common is that we pay far too much in taxes. Taxes that encourage people to be lazy and taxes that allow politicians to spend our money with no consequences. I am sick and tired of my hard earned tax dollars going to people that whine, complain, and people with low or no self-esteem, no dignity and I object to my tax dollars being wasted going to lazy people in this country.
And I am fed up with politicians raising taxes on everything they can think of in order to continue their out of control spending.
Common sense tells the average American families that during hard times to control spending, cut the waste, and work with a budget, the politicians answer to this crisis is to spend more and increase entitlement programs for the lazy. The people that truly need a hand up should get it, but the hand-outs have to stop.

Fiscal Responsibility Summit?
Today Barack Obama’s summit on fiscal responsibility (National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform) will convene for the first time at the White House. The job at hand or should I say hand job is to make recommendations to Congress to balance the budget by 2015 and to improve our long-term fiscal outlook. This commission is meeting when just a little over a month after Congress approved a new $2.5 trillion health care entitlement that the Obama administration now confirms will increase our nation’s total health care spending.
This is a common pattern for the White House; first enact record breaking levels of deficit spending, then turn right around and make a promise of strict spending sometime in the future.
After signing the largest single-year increase in domestic federal spending since World War II , Obama held a “fiscal responsibility” summit designed to “send a signal that we are serious” about putting the nation on sounder financial footing. The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank penned at the time: “Holding a ‘fiscal responsibility summit’ at the White House in the middle of a government spending spree is a bit like having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at a frat house on homecoming weekend.”
Congress has now missed its April 15 deadline for enacting a budget resolution, which is one of the few pieces of legislation that Congress must pass annually. If Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) fails to pass a budget it will be the first time since the 1974 Congressional Budget Act that the House has failed to do so. Americans around the country, beaten down by this recession are looking at their budgets to see how they can get by and where they can cut back more to save a few dollars. Yet Congress—despite a $1.5 trillion deficit in 2010 and historic deficits as far as the eye can see—cannot manage to set any budget framework for the next few years.
Last week, Pew Research Center released a survey showing just 22% of respondents said they trust the federal government almost always or most of the time. Last March Pew found by 54% to 37%, people favored the government exerting more control over the economy. Now, by 51% to 40%, a majority of Americans say they want less government control. If President Obama’s fiscal responsibility commission is to have any credibility with the American people, the first item on its agenda must be the full repeal of the President’s $2.5 trillion health care entitlement.

California v/s McDonalds
As the California legislature is looking into forcing the McDonald’s fast-food chain to drop the toy in the Kid’s Meal package they sell if an effort to curb kids away from fatty foods, I for one would like to know; who are these kids driving themselves to McDonald’s and buying these meals?
McDonald’s has over 450 restaurants in California and each location employs around 60 workers, that’s 27,000 jobs for this state which is a drop in the bucket to the top 6 largest employers in Los Angeles County, all of which are government agencies.
This county alone employs over 95,000, no wonder the state is broke.
Now they are threatening private businesses with socialistic laws. The last thing this state needs or this country for that matter is more laws, specifically laws that will cut more jobs.
The toy may be made out of the country but there are still many jobs along the way that would be eliminated if this toy is removed and what if McDonald’s decided it was no longer in their best interest to do business in California – 27,000 employees’ plus at least that many more that support the restaurants such as food suppliers, cleaning companies and landscaping services.
If these kids are getting too much fat and calories in their diets, I wouldn’t point the finger at McDonald’s as the problem. Maybe we should also outlaw videos games and computers.
If the parents of these kids would grow some stones and set the record straight instead of catering to and coddling them they’d have a better diet outlook and most likely we’d have much more respectable group of children in this world.
Can California afford to lose another 50,000+ jobs?

Geoffrey Fieger
I listened to Paul W. Smith on WJR Radio Show this morning as he interviewed Geoffrey Fieger.
Mr. Fieger was on talking about the death of his brother, the singer for the band “The Knack” who had passed away recently after a 6 year battle with cancer, his recent movie about his life and times with Dr. Jack Kevorkian that just aired on HBO over the weekend.
Mr. Fieger then moved the topic to his election as the democratic candidate against then sitting Governor John Engler. Governor Engler won a third term by a landslide.
Mr. Fieger still believes that taxes must be raised in this state, even though we have lost nearly a million residents. Michigan’s annual budget bottom line they must have to stay in business is around $33 billion but for some reason, the legislators in Lansing are working with budget in $47 billion range. This is $14 billion above what is needed to cover operating expenses for the year.
We as citizens and residents of this state have had to take it on the chin and pear down on what we spend. Prices for everything have gone up; food, gas, electricity, insurance and our government still wants to raise taxes. Our salaries, dollar for dollar are what they were in 1998 yet the cost of living has more than doubled.
Mr. Fieger wants to know where the funds will come from if taxes are cut even more. Well, if we lost a million residents, wouldn’t one assume we have fewer expenses now? If was feeding 2 kids and they moved out to be on their own, my costs would certainly go down.
His thinking and his party are what is wrong in this state. The demise of Detroit and some surrounding suburbs comes from the destruction of family values by substituting a welfare check to replace the father in the family and embedding the idea that people are “owed” something.
Nothing is ever free and everybody needs to contribute their part.
Republicans are always accused of supporting the rich while the democrats are support the poor.
My take is that the rich provide jobs to those that want to work while the democrats supply welfare checks for those that don’t.
Liberals always want to give away money as long as it is not their own, that’s why they support Democrats; they take from the middle class to give to the poor while the rich hide behind tax shelters that the democrats create.
They make these rules and laws so complicated that only the rich can afford to hire the accountants and attorneys to navigate through them.
Mr. Fieger also believes that a republican will win the Governor’s race no matter who is running this November, I can only hope he is right on this note.

Barack Hussein Alinsky
Why is it that Barrack Obama taught from Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals” gave it as a gift to foreign dictators like the Kim Jong IL of North Korea and yet half of the people in this country don’t believe he is a radical himself nor has Marxists tendencies?
What will it take for these people to wake up and see what this man is doing to our country? Don’t “listen” to what he says, watch what he does.
The number one step to dismantling a country like ours is to drive a wedge in between our intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI. In doing so Obama has made our nation incapable of defending its interests or its allies around the world by requiring all prisoners “of war” to be Mirandized in the field as they are captured.
His attorney general Eric Holder went on the attack trying to criminally charge intelligence officers and others that followed out the Bush administrations directives to garner info from captured terrorists. The method that was seen as inhumane -- water-boarding was approved by all of the people that now said they were against, like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
Obama and the democrats knew this would go nowhere but by causing these people a great deal of financial loss and effectively destroying their careers would surely detour other agents from effectively carrying out their work on new suspects.
Al Sharpton commented on Obama and stated that he didn’t know why the people of this country were surprised at Obama’s socialist politics; after all “they voted for a socialist”
Obama and the democrats against the will of the people (nearly 80% by all polls) voted in a socialist health care plan that will raise taxes on all Americans contrary to Obama’s promise not to. He also is not renewing the Bush tax cuts which raise taxes even further.
Obama thinks we should be on the same line as Western Europe and how is that working for them?
It’s not. Crime is rampant, unemployment has sky-rocketed and spending is out of control. They are looking to bring capitalism and free markets back because socialism does not work.
So what is your definition of a radical?
