A New Threat to Israel

Yesterday, I watched John Bolton, former ambassador to the United Nations, deliver some unsettling news. It appears that a United Nations draft resolution to restrict Iran from getting weapons from other countries contains a serious loophole. In the fine print is included a clause that allows Iran to obtain the S300, an air defense weapons system that will easily make Israel unable to protect itself  if it needed to make a preemptive strike. Who makes that system? Russia, the country who will now apparently be the major supplier to Iran.

President Obama is so eager to get "results" from appearing to get some concessions from Iran that he will once again not read the fine print and sign on the dotted line. (Do we see a pattern here?) The rest of the world is laughing at us while our President helps give away protections for our allies, in this case, Israel.

This increased threat to Israel only ramps up the fear that it may consider a preemptive strike before these systems are in place. While our President apologizes and appeases, the world becomes a ever more unsafe place.

Open Borders: Not Just About Mexico

While the Obama administration and the chattering PC class would like to make border security a racist event, anyone with some amount of common sense would realize that it is about much more than Mexican nationals coming over the border. Yes, they are the majority group, but it doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to envision others coming over, too, especially after 9/11.

The President, in his efforts to whip up his base by accusing Arizonans of racism in their law, is ignoring his one major duty: to protect the citizens of the United States. That includes not only Arizonans, but the rest of us...because, as the news report below so chillingly illustrates, more than people searching for honest work are also coming across. Terrorists are taking advantage of our President's political games and using our porous borders to come across with impunity. With the refusal of the President to continue building the fence or to provide further security with the deployment of the National Guard, the border becomes an easy entry for terrorists from all over the world....straight into the heart of our country.

Thank goodness there are still some real investigative journalists left in the United States. The below video from an Atlanta station provides chilling evidence that not only are terrorists crossing over the border, but that Congress and the President have been aware of this for some time...and still choose to play political games over national security. And you wonder why the number of attacks on us are going up?

Hate America Week

Well, folks, apparently our President and his Keystone Kompadres have been on a Hate America roll this week. From the President on down, we have been treated to accusations of racism and bad treatment to our neighbors and our debtors. We have had the distinct wincing displeasure of watching our elected leader and his taxpayer-salaried staff criticize their own citizenry with gusto and glee.

We started off with the Arizona immigration law brouhaha. President Obama and his Kompadres wasted no time referring to the law as misguided, unconstitutional, not something we should follow, all, apparently without having actually read the law. How amazing that so many Ivy League lawyers—who have not yet mastered Lawyering 101— know what they are talking about. Intellectual laziness pervades the Obama administration.

The Kompadres even extended their vitriol against their own citizens by repeatedly assuring the Chinese, in an international diplomatic meeting with apologist State Department official Michael Posner, that the Arizona law highlighted a “troubling trend in our society” with discrimination.
Posner compared Arizona law to a country whose “rule of law” has resulted in the deaths of millions of their own Chinese citizens. China has a long history of forced abortions and sterilizations, and imprisonment of political dissidents. Posner’s blathering is a stretch beyond all reason. However, the Kompadres pulled it off with their usual smug self-flagellating subservience to “world opinion”.

They are confident in the misguided “fact” that they can make the rest of the world love us if only they grovel and lick-boot enough. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley crowed that the Arizona law and its potential for racial profiling, “would pose fundamental challenges to human rights around the world”. How he made that extrapolation is beyond me, especially when we then find out he too has not even read the law. ‘Seems this here ol’ pesky intellectual laziness definitely extends to the State Department, also, ey?

Yup.

Fast-forward to yesterday, where we heard our own El Presidente holding forth about the closeness of the American/Mexican bond, while at the same time excoriating one of his own states for—in one of his typical outright lies—“discriminating” against the Mexican people. To make it even more laughable, he cites the Law Whose Contents He Has Not Even Read.

He goes on with audacity to say, “there are no borders between the American and Mexican people.” This is a bad metaphor to use in describing our relationship, and certainly inappropriate at a time when the majority of Americans are concerned about our massive open border problems. El Presidente Calderon jumped into thesmackdown, declaring the Arizona law “discriminatory” while blatantly ignoring the fact that entering Mexico illegally is punishable by two years in prison. Mexican authorities also have the right to demand proof that a person is in their country legally, allowing the police to question foreigners…and to take a bribe to let them go, even if they have the documentation. Profiling, anyone?

But wait, there’s more. Today our very own Congress was treated to listening President Calderon lash out and blame Mexico’s troubles on America, conveniently ignoring his country’s long history of corruption, which has siphoned off the profits from Mexico’s rich natural resources such as oil and miles of beaches that attract lucrative tourism. He also delivered this incredible quote in reference to the Arizona immigration law, “It is a law that not only ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree but also introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as the basis for law enforcement”. Guess it must be catching…he didn’t read the law either. Obama’s Congressional Democratic lapdogs leaped to their feet in multiple enthusiastic ovations in support of Calderon’s attacks on the Arizona law.

Why are they doing this—Democrats trashing and destroying America, and the American people? Well...that is exactly why.

If the radical Democrats destroy and trash America, they can get all of us to say we are all racists and bigots now, and that we need to assuage and purge our “guilt.” We can do this by opening the borders to all Mexicans—for full pardons and a “path” to full citizenship.

Oh, and by the way…millions of new votes for Democrats—they hope.

Because the idea here, folks, is this: to head off Republican victories in 2010 and 2012 by securing the so-called Hispanic vote and firing up the base by inflaming racial discord. And all with this in mind: to secure radical Democrat eternal rule of America.

Sound good to you?

Well, then what can we do about this disgraceful behavior?
1.) Vote the bums out in November.
2.) In the meantime, write the White House at www.whitehouse.gov/contact and express your displeasure at the behavior of Obama and his Kompadres.
3.) Contact your local Democrat and give them a piece of your mind, either by phone or email….or both.
4.) Send a free fax to them through this website: http://is.gd/bSLgE

Illegal Immigrantion as a Liberal Litmus Test



Illegal immigration has been the hot topic since Arizona passed SB-1070, which gave local law enforcement the ability to determine, after a lawful probable cause police contact regarding anything but racial profiling, whether or not a person was illegally in the United States. The uproar from the left was as loud as it was predictable; the reaction from the Obama administration disastrous.

Regarding his public depiction and corruption of SB-1070, our Harvard educated President and alleged law “professor” (he was really only a senior lecturer, not a professor) is either the world’s most incompetent lawyer or an outright liar. SB-1070 is an approximately ten-page law, easily readable for a layman, let alone a lawyer. The language is non-complex and straightforward.

Yet the former alleged editor of the Harvard Law Review apparently “interpreted” SB-1070 as allowing law enforcement officials to scoop up an innocent man merely going for ice cream with his children. They could then interrogate him and deport him. This politicized, intentional misinterpretation by our Harvard educated President is not surprising. Obama was not even really “Editor” of the Harvard Law Review, as he states—he was President of it, quite different.

SB-1070, in fact, does not allow law enforcement to take away civil rights; indeed, it specifically prohibits this type of action. It is clearly spelled out in SB-1070 that officers must already be engaged in a legal police contact of some sort (such as a traffic stop or for fighting, etc.) before the issue of a person’s citizenship can be raised. Yet, Obama very loudly and clearly trumpeted the “misguided” nature of the law to anyone who would listen. (Remember another Harvard misadventure involving an honest cop? “The police acted stupidly.”)

1.) So, what would bring about this type of behavior from an intellectual elitist?

Another member of the Keystone Kompadres, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, also publicly and frequently makes disparaging comments about the law, calling it unfortunate, possibly unconstitutional and ripe for abuse by hovering racial profilers. Yet today (5/14/10) we find out in a Congressional hearing that Mr. Holder has never even READ the law.

Holder stated he drew his conclusions from what he “heard on TV and in the news”. Are you kidding me? The Attorney General of the United States has not had a spare minute to read a simple ten page law, but can spend hours publicly disparaging it? He’s waiting for “a briefing from my staff” on the law? I am but a simple retired police sergeant; I read SB-1070 in five minutes (I’m a fast reader), and even I understood the law completely in that time span. This law is not the theory of relativity, folks. It is simple and easy to read.

2.) So what would drive the U.S. Attorney General to make such a fool of himself publicly and professionally?

The answer to questions 1. and 2. above is this: both President Obama and Mr. Holder counted on what they thought was an overwhelming wave of radical liberalism in this country to support their Orwell-speak.
Both of them bet that ideologues would rule the day and truth and justice would die. These Kompadres were confident in public and media support for this Orwellian plot; liberals tend to be loud, opinionated, and shout down or destroy anyone who doesn’t agree with them, or “think critically.”

Obama and Holder knew that ordinary Americans usually don’t bother to shout back; that Democrats are in the majority in Congress; and all would therefore be well in the Radical Liberal Universe. Ordinary Americans would flee from the thought of being called racist if they agree with the law and are stupid enough to say it out loud.

What the Keystone Kompadres failed to take into account was a sea-change in ordinary Americans. The term “racist” has been flung about with abandon since Obama announced his Presidency. The frequency and level of hysteria associated with the term ramps up daily. Radical liberals and their mainstream media sycophants have used the word so often it has lost its punch. Ergo, ordinary people no longer fear being called a racist, because it has become so obviously blatant that the term is being overused and abused. It has no more sting; indeed, it has become a laughable term. Liberals thought they could shutdown any opposition by slinging mud at or by destroying anyone who dared protest the radical Democrat agenda. They thought they could back everyone else off their ideological agenda. They even stooped to economic boycotts, extreme name-calling, and sacrificed on their altar—crucified—the Arizona-bound aspirations of a simple high school girls’ basketball team.

This was all in the name of their Chosen One— Barack Obama. The no longer secret agenda of the Kompadres is to steal as much raw power as needed to transform America into a socialist state ruled by the Democrat party: this is neither Democratic, nor Democracy. It will be The Party.

Democrats also thought the people of Arizona would fold like a bad hand of cards. Thankfully, Arizonans have not, and their governor has shown true, fearless leadership—something sadly lacking in Washington, by doing an amazing thing: standing up for and protecting her constituents.

And another amazing thing happened: the people of the United States LIKED the law. It made sense in an upside down world where illegals are treated like saints and law abiding citizens are treated like something smelly found on the bottom of a shoe.

In Los Angeles, liberal capital of the world, lawmakers were stunned to hear from their constituents via polls that they did not approve of the lawmakers’ planned economic boycott of Arizona. People across the country have been supporting Arizona like this, vocally. In some cases, they are doing it with their wallets by making it a vacation destination or supporting Arizona-based businesses. Other states are beginning to follow Arizona’s lead in developing similar legislation.

The expected flight from a “racist” label did not materialize; indeed, the American people fought back at a grass roots level. They made their displeasure known by calling their representatives and by developing Facebook pages to distribute accurate information about the law. And, not least, by calling for school administrators to be fired for boycotting a national girl’s basketball tournament merely because it was in Arizona and because Arizona did not follow the school’s alleged “values”. Apparently China, a past destination for this same basketball team, has more closely allying values.

The arrogance of the Obama administration and the Liberal Loud Left just plain old ticked people off; the sleeping giant has awakened…and it ain’t happy. The liberal left’s litmus test—the accusation of racism—failed, and failed gravely.

How can you join in the push back against the left? Make your voice heard in a myriad of ways. Write a letter of support to Governor Brewer, helping her and fellow Arizonans keep heart in this difficult time at http://azgovernor.gov
 
If you are planning a vacation, plan to go to Arizona and spend your money there. Patronize Arizonan businesses. Visit my website, www.notwithoutrepresentation.com, to see my letter to Governor Brewer, asking her if we Americans can set up a national “Fight with Five” fund, where ordinary Americans could donate five dollars to Arizona’s state budget in an effort to help offset the revenues lost through boycotts.
There is also a link on my site to Stand with Arizona Facebook (against Illegal Immigration), a Facebook site, which has a very helpful BUYcott list of Arizona businesses that can be patronized by out of state Americans. This is a site filled with useful information and updates. We are all part of the solution.

Obama and His Keystone Kompadres




President Obama and his administration would like you to believe that he and they are ready, willing, and able to keep you safe through their competence.

They are none of the above; reference the Times Square would-be bomber incident. The bomber was apprehended and the bomb defused with no injuries or deaths, yes. But this was entirely due to an alert ex-military man and excellent work by the NYPD and the FBI. Obama’s crack Keystone Kompadres were nowhere on the case beforehand. But, after the fact, they were so hell-bent on taking credit that they incompetently leaked details of the suspect, who then evaded surveillance and almost made it out of the country and to Dubai.

None of this is surprising. Obama’s critics during the election brought up his profound lack of experience in running anything, let alone the most powerful country on Earth. Yet, the candidate showed no lack of elitist confidence in his “ability” to handle the office of the presidency. In fact, the opposite was true. Time has also shown us that he has no apparent sense of practical caution or concern for the results of his actions as President—or for the American people. In this, he cares only for himself, his own advancement, and power.

Buried deep in the psyche of this alternate universe is the self-conviction that he is truly smarter than the rest of us. Also, that he will find a solution to “man-made disasters.” How? I guess through his alleged “superior intellect and ability to connect with the downtrodden.” In the mind of an ideologue like Obama, America is always to blame—for whatever, no matter what. So—the theory unreels—if he just takes over everything, runs it the way the world should be run (in his eyes), and apologizes enough, the rest of the world will love us.

Obama has done his best to avoid confronting this all this nasty reality stuff, in two basic ways. One: by semantics; by scrubbing the lexicon of the word terrorists and any reference to Islam or Muslims. Two: by attempting to recreate the failed policies of the Clinton administration, whereby terrorists were prosecuted under criminal law; where Miranda Rights were loosely given out to these “criminals;” where protections were allowed for those terrorists who were certainly not even American citizens. For some reason known best to Obama and his devoted followers, he and they have been hell-bent on showing the world they are kinder and gentler to these “criminals” than the Bush administration.

Their rabid attempts to protect these terrorists and impress the rest of the world began by announcing roll-backs of the Bush 9/11 policies. This included the Patriot Act and started out with great fanfare and political panoply. Yet, these initial victory changes very quietly subsumed into a secretive policy of allowing the hated Bush policies to continue. Why? Because Reality lifted its dreaded head and peeked into that ivory tower of Liberal hopey changey, crashing the party—the radical, far left Democrat Party. Witness the videotape of Obama leaving his first CIA briefing as President back in 2008: suddenly gone was the cocky, arrogant, “I am a Harvard Law graduate and, as such, so much intellectually superior than those who have gone before me” attitude. What you saw that day was someone who looked like he’d been kicked in the face by Reality; a stunned man who suddenly realized he was not in the cocooned, alternate universe of ivory-towered academia anymore—that now he was suddenly out of the rabbit hole, and in the real world; a world where he was not allowed to merely vote “present” anymore.


Along these lines, Obama found himself caught in his own mouth. Despite Obama’s long-time and harsh criticisms of George Bush, Lefties were soon horrified at their leader’s willing participation in the Evil Predator Drone program. Indeed, President Obama actually ramped up the agenda and has authorized more strikes than even the Bush administration.

And now—suddenly—US Attorney General Eric Holder has done an about face on cleansing the vocabulary of “hurtful words,” and Mirandizing “criminals.” The Christmas “crotch bomber” was Mirandized almost before he was off the plane, with Holder and the Obama administration defending those actions vigorously. And yet, the Times Square bomber is suddenly “a terrorist.”

Holder is now—suddenly—out of the blue—advocating indefinite incarceration with charges, no Miranda warnings and warrantless searches (through wiretaps or other means). These changes are way past what even conservatives advocate; indeed, they set the Constitution right on it head.

Why the sudden change in Holder? What brought about this change in Obama?

Reality is what—as with that first CIA briefing, and now with whatever the Times Square bomber Shazad has revealed. Suddenly, idealism is out the window along with “talking with the enemy.”

One might thoughtfully presume that the Times Square bomber has given them evidence or information that has led to a pucker factor revelation—of further plots against the United States, ones that make Shazad’s bomb look like child’s play. Once again, the Obama administration’s “peace” agenda has had its lunch taken and eaten by Reality.

Why should the advent of more and intense terror operations coming our way be revelatory to the administration? Even those who do not follow the news realize we are hated for being “infidels” and that Islamic terrorists want to wipe us off the face of their earth. They have told us for close to a decade now that the attacks will continue. Somehow this seems to have escaped the “highly educated” elite echelons of the Obama Kompadre Krew. That Holder and Obama are now shell-shocked by the revelations of Reality—enough to do their legal about-faces—reveals something.

It reveals the depth of their suppressive arrogance, their ignorance, and their own dogma that they are The Chosen—the only ones able to remake the world and all of us in their own upside-down, repressive image.

So, what can we do about all this dangerous nonsense? Well…barring an asteroid-strike on Earth from space, it seems we are stuck with this administration for at least the next two years. Unfortunately, we have no real idea how much raw damage they have already done to our national security, because we only know what they and their adoring mainstream Media outlets feed us. So we are stuck with them. And they with us.

But guess what? They fear us more than we fear them. They fear us because the average citizen can help keep the Keystone Kompadres in line-by voting them out!

November is key—we can mount an effective defense against the incompetence of the Keystone Kompadres if we regain Congress. We will then have a way to keep a rein on them until we defeat Obama in the election of 2012. What you can do as a citizen is to work for the election of a Republican in your district, even if you don’t particularly care for the party or the candidate. Hold your nose, work, and vote.

If your district is hopelessly Democrat, then visit www.dickmorris.com and use his suggestion of “adopting a Democrat.” Find a Democrat who is vulnerable, and contribute whatever you can afford to his Republican competitor, even if it is not in your district or even your state. We must put a brake on the Obama administration.

NEXT: how Obama is already undermining and destroying America and what we can do politically to stop it.
