Has he gone there to surrender??

Hmmmm..........

And don't anyone try to tell me otherwise!

If I travel to France and someone there wants to ask me about American politics and the outcome of the election, I will tell them our decisions are ABSOLUTELY NONE of their business!

Here at home, I tell you this man should have been outed as a Fraud by the so-called "objective" media. But instead the "media" actively worked on his behalf. The "media" campaigned on his behalf! They should have filed with the Federal Elections Commission as a 527 group or lobbyists working on behalf of Obama - not "objective" news sources!

Teachers and professors from kindergarten through post-graduate studies have actively brainwashed their charges daily for 40 years. And they give us the most leftist man and the most leftist Congress in American history!!

If this fraud of a President allows dissent - if we dissenters are still alive or allowed freedom of speech in 4 years, I will be amazed. God help us that we get rid of the fraud in 4 years.

But he is NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!

Right on cue, here come the cry babies.

Like most 2 year olds that want that toy or piece of candy and are told "No" by a parent, thousands of gays took to the streets in California to, uh, "protest" the decision of California voters to affirm that marriage is between one man and one woman. The babies blocked traffic in major intersections of already busy streets, shouted at people, banged on car hoods and other mahem.

In Westwood, the babies found a particular target - the well-known, large Mormon Church. There they made their stand - shouting and screaming at the top of their lungs about some "injustice" that had just been done to them. Mormons, in particular, were the target of their rage because the Mormon church and members gave money to support Proposition 8.

The babies shouted things like, "We're going to fight hate with hate!!"

I ask you. Can anyone out there - ANYONE - find me similar television footage showing Mormons or any other California citizens on the streets and "in the face" of gays or lesbians demonstrating their "hate" towards gays and lesbians?? Can anyone out there find for me any newspaper reports of Mormons or other California citizens expressing "hate" towards gays and lesbians?

I'll pause here a moment for someone to find something.   Mmmmm.......hhmmmmm..... tum, tum, tum, dum dee dee............................Well??  Anything??  No??  But. But....how can that be??   Nothing?? SURELY there MUST be some report of "hate" against gays and lesbians by Mormons in particular and Californians in general! Surely you aren't telling me these people don't "hate" gays and lesbians!!!!

Frankly, I see "hate" only on one side of this argument. From the loony left. Californians only reaffirmed the same vote we made a few years ago by 61% of voters. THAT vote was "vacated" by the California Supreme Court - in their "infinite" wisdom - by a 4-3 decision. The Supremes "found" tucked away in our California Constitution the "right" for gays and lesbians to marry. I don't know WHERE they found it, but they found it. It probably isn't there, but that doesn't stop leftist justices. They make up the law as they go along.

The final tally on an election night with heavy liberal turnout??: 52.4% of Californians voted to affirm the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. 5,661,583 citizens vs 4 judges. Now the judges won't have to look high and low in the California Constitution to find a "right" for gays and lesbians to marry. Citizens have just given our Supremes a democratic order - THIS is what we want as the law of the land! Anything outside of this narrow definition is NOT marriage constitutional.

Here's a simple question to ask of gays and lesbians who "get in your face" about your vote on Proposition 8 and the "right" to gay marriage in general: Ask them how 12 year-olds voted? Any polling data on the 12 year-old vote?? They may answer, "12 year-olds can't vote." Ask them, "Why not?". "Because you have to be 18 to vote." "Why is that?", you ask them. "Because it's in the Constitution of the United States." The supreme law of the land? "And who decides what goes into the Constitution?" "Uh..........the People??"

DUH!!!

Game and match...............

It took the destruction of much of southern Manhattan for us to realize that islamic extremists - al Queda - were at war against us. We weren't at all prepared even to consider we were at war. We dealt with the bastards as though they were shoplifters to arrest and prosecute.

But they want us dead. They could care less about the niceties of an arraignment.

Conservative have to come to that same realization. Radical left-wing loonies don't just want to win an election over us. They want us gone! PERMANENTLY.

The kool-aid drinking loonies on the left - are there any "moderate" ones any more? - knew precisely what they were doing when they foisted Obama on the electorate. The rest of the sheep just followed along, clueless and mindless. But many of us conservatives know his true stripes. And the dangers of Obama.

I cannot know the things I know about Obama - Sal Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Acorn, Rev. Wright, "bankrupting coal-fired power plant and causing electric rates to skyrocket" and the host of Marxist adjendas - and "wish him well" in his new job.

The man was never "vetted" by our 5th column - the "free" press. He has no resume for the position. He has no business holding this office. He should have been beaten up and spit out of the primary process for the inexperienced yet audacious fraud that he is. But our "free press" has shown themselves for the frauds that THEY have become! They chose either active boosting of this fraud or "who me" passivity of blandly allowing this man anywhere near the White House. Conservatives have their voices in the "media" - talk radio and a small portion of television commentators. But the frauds in the media still hold the biggest sway on the American public.

And Obama and his thugs will want what little we have in the way of a voice in American politics silenced.

The loony left has been at war against us for some time. Barack Obama is our political 9-11. We need to fight the war and not behave as though we can prosecute the loonies politically.

Until America is freed from the loony left tyranny, I don't want to see the fraud's face on television. I don't want to hear the fraud's voice. I can not and do not wish him well in his "new endeavor". He's a fraud. And he will be until he surrenders the most important political job in the world.

I have no President. Not for at least 4 years.

I will not offer congratulations to a fraud. President-elect "Skin Color" has made use of or taken advantage of many fraudulent means to commit the most vile grand theft in history - the Presidency of the United States. Voter fraud. Credit card fraud. Media fraud. Biographical fraud. Experience fraud. He's a FRAUD!  Perpetrated on the U.S. by the likes of interviewees on Jay Leno's "Jay-Walking" skit - they know little or nothing about politics or government.

His disciples are of the like of the college student who hacked Sarah Palin's personal email account. Acorn legions who gleefully register the same person 73 times! These are not abberations on the "loony left". They are the norm. Can anyone recall for me the instance where Barack Obama called for an end to these types of activities on his behalf?

And shame on John McCain. Experience should have told him one simple fact. History has shown us that - unless you are Ronald Reagan - Americans are not going to vote for an old fart. Not when pitted against a relatively young, fairly good-looking man. Americans are pretty shallow in that regard. Perhaps the Republican National Committee should seriously consider an age limit to potential Presidential candidates.

God help our country for 4 years.

As a conservative in the liberal state of California, my vote is not going to amount to much. Unless I succumb to Chicago-style politics and vote early and often, my one vote for McCain/Palin will NOT put him in the White House. California's liberals will likely give Obama our 150-some electoral votes and give the whole damned state to him!

But the race is much closer in the "Battleground" States - states where McCain/Palin have a fighting chance! I can't get away - can't afford to - from my responsibilities here to campaign on the behalf of McCain/Palin in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, Colorado and other "Battleground" states. I need you good people that live in those states to carry McCain/Palin to the White House for me!

God bless our Founding Father's wisdom that they gave us the Electoral College!  Without it, the large population centers on the East and West Coasts as well as other high population centers around the country would decide our Presidential elections with large popular votes. But with the Electoral College STATES decide who will become our President! And the combination of electoral votes of smaller states can negate the huge advantage California has over the outcome.

But I don't live in any of the smaller states. I live in Southern California. So, sadly, I can't do much to sway this election to my favor. Ohians have to do it. Pennsylvanians and Floridians have to do it FOR me!!  PLEASE HELP!!!

If you don't, YOU'RE state could end up like ours in the not-too-distant future. Full of whacky, IN-tolerant, mean and nasty leftist who spend OUR money like it's going out of style to the point of bankruptcy, point fingers at us when things go badly, spew hateful anti-American rhetoric while telling us they love their country!

This is not simply a matter of electing a new president of the United States. There IS a culture war being waged in America!  The Leftists want to RID America of conservatives!!  And Conservatives are only trying to hold onto values we hold dear! Sarah Palin is emblematic of the struggle. She (in my opinion) is the embodiment of traditional American values. But also THE example of a truly liberated woman in a formerly male-dominated society.

That the Left in this country will not afford her that disctinction exposes the lie that they are for the "liberation" and "empowerment" of women! Forget that!  They want her GONE! They want her destroyed!  Along with the rest of conservatives and conservative principals in America!

Imagine America in the hands of people like Tina Fey who makes fun of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live and then says last night, "I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5th". And the rest of that cast alluding to Todd Palin having sex with his daughters. Imagine America in the hands of some of the so-called "objective" media. People like Chris Matthews who gets "tingles" up his leg after listening to an Obama speech! Imagine the idiot Hollywood celebrities and rock stars having influence over our government. Imagine Bill Ayers with priviledges to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House!

I wish I could do more. But Southern California conservatives are like strangers in a strange land. There may be nothing I can do to change the outcome in California.

But you "Battleground" States. You have a chance. Please - for those of us conservatives in California - SAVE US!!  Save the country!!  Get out there and campaign and vote for McCain/Palin!!  PLEASE!!

One of the high stakes in the upcoming election is the possibility of Democrats seizing the Executive branch as well as retaining control of both houses of Congress.

Democrats have made quite a bit of noise about bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine". Talk radio is particularly irksome to Democrats who view it as being tilted largely toward conservatives. The perception that television and print media are largely tilted in favor of liberalism doesn't seem to concern Democrats.

The "airwaves" of radio and television "belong" to the "People of the United State" (read that as the Federal Government) and broadcasters receive their licenses from the U.S. Government. And so, Democrats figure they can dictate what can be heard. As they see it, Talk Radio isn't "fair" to liberal points of view.

If the recent treatment of Sarah Palin on certain network and cable television is not indicative of "unfairness" and a particular political persuasion, what is? But the truly insidious aspect of television media partiality is that they CLAIM to be "objective". Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Hugh Hewitt listeners tune in knowing what they are going to hear! PARTISANSHIP! They don't claim anything other than partisanship! But they don't exclude opposing points of view either.

Rush, Sean, Hugh and others can and do show their enthusiasm for Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain. But who does Chris Matthews think he is claiming "shivers" up his leg upon hearing a Barack Obama speech! Where is Chris Matthew's PUBLIC disclaimer that he is CLEARLY partisan!! Americans, as do I, want to tune into media outlets to be better informed. Not to be subjected to praise for one side and ridicule of the other (MY side!!).

And then there are the steady streams of high school and college age young people queing up for Obama and/or rioting in the streets. High school administrators in Los Angeles allow their charges out of classes - even BUS them - to political rallies such as pro-immigration rallies! I would ask the same question of schools, colleges and universities: "Where is your public disclaimer that you values and emphasis is NOT on education and information but INDOCTRINATION of young minds to your way of thinking?"

And so....I have a "Fairness Doctrine" to propose should the issue come up in the next Congress regarding talk radio.

By the way - if Equal Protection in the Constitution means anything, it should be applicable here. And if Congress can pass Title IX of the U.S. Codes causing schools and universities to shut down male baseball and football teams in favor of women's sports teams, then schools and universities are fair game for social engineering of the sort I am proposing here:

If Talk Radio is to be subjected to a "Fairness Doctrine", then a "Fairness Doctrine" will need to be applied across the board for nearly ALL institutions in America.

ALL workers in newspapers and broadcast journalism shall and will be required to submit affidavits and be subjected to questionaires and polygraph examination to TRUTHFULLY determine their political leanings prior to hiring and be subjected to annual review as to their opinions in the event they change. Staffing of all newspaper and broadcast journalism will have to "reflect America". Left-leaning "journalists" and commentators will have to give up their jobs to make room for the hiring of equal numbers of the other political persuasion.

This is "fair", is it not?

Likewise schools from Kindergarten through post-graduate will have to follow the same "fairness" in hiring practices. High Schools and Universities will NOT be allowed to staff their institutions with 90% politically "liberal"-leaning teachers and professors. They will NOT be allowed to promulgate their personal political views to malleable minds. Young people will not be graded down as a result of not adhering to their professor's personal political views. "Fairness" in education will put a stop to "liberal" indoctrination that turns your church-going, American-values children into tree-hugging, hateful, violent anti-everything protesters!! William Ayers and Ward Churchill may lose their professorships - but this is done in the name of "fairness".

What?  Liberals say this approach is "unfair"?? Smacks of a "police state"??

I am reminded of the Woody Allen movie, "Bananas". In the movie, the newly victorious banana republic, communist dictator addresses his subjects. He tells them he is upset at reports he is receiving that they are not changing their underwear daily. "So now I am ordering that you wear your underwear on the OUTSIDE........so we can check."

"Fair" enough??

I sit here typing on my blog. I lean to the left. I lean to the right. I've "changed" 2 times. Which is better?

This is the element that is entirely missing from the argument of Barack Obama. What's "better" for America?  What is "improvement"?? Vote for Obama for "Change"?

There will be "change" in November regardless of which way Americans choose. But which will be the better choice? Which choice will lead to improvement??

As were many, I was a Romney supporter. Talk that McCain would possibly select a Democrat as a running mate was disheartening. Now that McCain has chosen Sarah Palin, I am energized!! Frankly, I am overjoyed!!!  I ask myself now, "Mitt who??" Seriously, I still admire Romney's experience in BOTH Government and business. I would probably have preferred a Romney/Palin ticket.

But the choice has now become crystal clear for me! If by "Change" Obama would have me choose his European brand of socialism over the traditional American value of self-reliance exemplified by the success of John McCain and Sarah Palin, I'll take McCain/Palin ANY day, week, year or epoch of time over Barack Obama!!

John McCain made sacrifices in his own life to serve his country almost to the point of death (his Vietnam experience) and Sarah Palin's experience is quintessentially American!!  As heartening a story as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's immigrant story. Arnold came to America speaking NO English and had little money in his pocket!  And yet he lived his dream, became a movie star, business man and now governor of the most populous state in the country! Sarah was a small-town wife unhappy with the status quo of her home town government and decided to get involved. She did not have a trust fund or famous parents. She just decided, "I'm going to improve things!" And she did! With a vengeance and with the overwhelming approval of her fellow Alaskans! Such things can happen in America when they can't happen other places in the world.

Barack Obama has succeded in securing the nomination of his party for the Presidency of the United States. As well as succesfully run for Illinois State Senator and U.S. Senator for Illinois. But the manner in which he succeded are troubling. He ran unopposed in Illinois for his Illinois Senate seat after "challenging" the signatures of his opponents candidacy filings. Chicago-style politics? The method chosen by the Democrats to select their nominee was messy at best. Can you say, "Super Delegates"? He's 47 years old and has already written 2 autobiographies. And let's not forget, "We are the ones we've been waiting for!" extolled to Berliners - as if they had any say in who we elect to represent Americans! Can you say, "Audacious"??  How about self-indulgant and egotistical?

By contrast, Sarah Palin is like most Americans!  Unassuming, steady and selfless in her quest to improve her adopted State of Alaska. She connects with Americans who know - from their OWN experience - that through hard work and determination, you too can be succesful!

"Change" is not a value. It is value-neutral. And this election (to paraphrase the Clinton campaign manifesto) is about "The Values, Stupid!"

"Our national immigration policies are tearing apart and hurting hard-working, tax-paying people who are just here trying to support their families," said Tom Walsh of the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs.

This from an organizer of a demonstration in support of Mexican invaders arrested while working illegally at a meat packing plant near Des Moines, Iowa.

More than 175 families in Postville, including more than 500 children, "just lost not only their mother or father, but in many cases, the sole breadwinner for their homes," he said.

"This enforcement-only approach creates massive human suffering, separation of families and economic dislocation," Gideon Aronoff, CEO of the New York-based Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, said earlier this month.

Try telling these sob stories to Danielle Bologna and the rest of her family. Try telling these sob stories to the wives and families of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. Try telling these sob stories to the parents of Jamiel Shaw Jr. Try telling these sob stories to all of the victims of invaders from Mexico and other countries illegally living and working in the United States. In fact, the list is long (see http://www.ojjpac.org/memorial.asp).

Danielle Bologna had her husband and 2 sons separated from her for life. Anthony, Matthew and Michael Bologna were separated from their wife and mother forever. They’re dead! This was a hard-working, taxpaying family. Anthony Bologna was trying to support HIS family!

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are hard-working, taxpaying men with families. They are now separated from their wives and families for the next 10 or more years. If they can survive being in the same prison as many of the men they arrested over the years.

Jamiel Shaw was an outstanding student and high school athlete. His mother is a sergeant in the U.S. Army and was serving her country in Iraq when her son was “separated” from her for eternity. He’s dead! In addition to serving her country, Sergeant Shaw is a hard-working taxpayer as is her husband.

And what do all of these American citizens get for all their hard work and taxpaying?? Complete abrogation of the responsibilities of the United States Government to secure its southern border and promptly locate and deport those that have entered this country with no permission. If that were not enough, the U.S. Government prosecutes those whose job it is to defend the United States border with Mexico! And provides an illegal alien drug smuggler with immunity to testify against the American citizen Border Patrol agents who were doing what is supposed to be their jobs!!

Innocent American citizens are murdered in their own country by invaders who have no right to be here. Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement officers are shot or run down and killed by Mexican drug smugglers. “Hard-working” “tax-paying” so-called “immigrants” take jobs each and every day from American citizens. To say nothing of the many instances of communicable diseases being brought by invaders across our borders.

American citizens should not be eternally separated from their families because invaders “separated” themselves from their homelands to come here unwelcome and uninvited. American citizen workers should not have to “suffer economic dislocation” as invaders come here to take their jobs. Americans like Danielle Bologna and the wives of Compean and Ramos “lost not only their mother or father, but in many cases, the sole bread-winner for their homes". These Americans were “just here trying to support their families."

They’re not “support(ing) their families” any more. They’re either dead or imprisoned because of invaders from south of our border. And I have no sympathy for the invaders or their families. If they don't come here unwelcome in the first place, they won't "suffer separation" from their families.

And neither will we.

Mister Obama,

I am not Berliner. I am American. I was born in Kansas City. Naturally, I speak English, but I studied German in College. For one and a half years, I studied German grammar in College and then I worked a student work program in Germany.

When I worked in Germany, I had to learn to speak German. I was in Germany two and a half months. At first, I could speak not speak a single sentence of German. But after only two and a half months, I was pretty fluent.

That was in 1979. I have forgotten much, but I can still communicate. Mr. Obama, you have insulted all the American people. You have told us that we don’t speak other languages. You have told us that we must learn Spanish. Which languages do you speak, Mister Obama? You can say, “merci beauceau” in French, but what else can you say? Probably nothing.

Mexicans and other from other countries come to America to live and work. They come here illegally. And they don’t learn English! They don’t care at all about assimilating in America.

Why should we learn their language?? Why should they not learn our language?? Why should we take these people into our country? They should not be here!!

I am not Berliner, Mr. Obama. But I have also been there (Berlin). I was in Berlin when the Berlin Wall was there. It was bad, Mr. Obama. Communism was bad!! Horrible!! And you are no Berliner, Mr. Obama. You are a Communist. And America does not need you.

 

Herr Obama,

Ich bin nicht Berliner. Ich bin Amerikaner. Ich war im Kansas City geboren. Naturlich, spreche ich Englisch, aber ich habe Deutsch im Universitat studiert. Ich habe ein und halb Jahre im Universitat Grammatik gelernt und dann habe ich ein Studenten Arbeit Program in Deutschland gearbeitet.

Als ich im Deutschland gearbeitet, musst ich Deutsch lernen. Ich war im Deutschland nur zwei und halb Monate. Am ersten, kunte ich fast keinen Satz sprechen. Aber nach zwei und halb Monate war ich ziemlich fließend.

Das war im Jahre 1979. Ich habe viel verlernt, aber ich kann immer noch mitteilen. Herr Obama, du hast alle Amerikanische Leute beleidigt. Du hast uns erzaehlt das wir andere Sprache nicht sprechen. Du hast uns erzaehlt das wir Spanisch lernen muss. Welche Sprachen sprichst du, Herr Obama?? Du kannst auf Franzoesisch “merci beauceau” sagen, aber was andere kannst do sagen? Wahrscheinlich nichts.

Mexikanern und andere von andere Laender kommt nach Amerika zu leben und arbeiten. Sie kommen wegen unsere Gesetze. Und sie lernen nicht Englisch! Sie sorgen uberhaupt nicht im Amerika zu assimilieren.

Worum sollen wir ihre Sprache lernen? Worum sollen sie nicht unsere Sprache lernen?? Worum sollen wir diese Leute in unser Land annehmen?? Sie sollen nicht hier sein!!

Ich bin nicht Berliner, Herr Obama. Aber ich bin auch da gewesen. Ich war im Berlin als die Berliner Mauer da war. Sie war schlecht, Herr Obama. Kommunism was schlecht!! Furchbar! Und du bist kein Berliner, Herr Obama. Du bist ein Kommunist. Und Amerika braucht dich auch nicht.

 

Are you working at this moment?? Shame on you! How dare you? Don’t you know there are “immigrants” in this country who need work? And there you sit (reading this post on work time, no less!!) taking up space and doing work that an “immigrant” could be doing right now.

What’s that you ask? Are these “immigrants” in this country legally? What concern is that of yours? Who are YOU to ask such a question!!?? RACIST!!

These are just law-abiding people who have only come here to work! And you have the nerve to ask if they are here legally?? They are only doing jobs that other Americans won’t do. And you don’t really like the job you are doing, do you? You don’t really want to do your job, do you?

So, get up out of your chair and go home! Here are 20 million “immigrants” lined up and waiting to do your job! You’re just in the way. You’re not being “compassionate” toward these “immigrants”. And you don’t even speak Spanish! What a Neanderthal!!

Haven’t you heard Barack Obama tell us that poor “immigrant” families are being “terrorized” by Immigration raids? Poor “immigrant” families are being “torn apart” and separated? I know just how they feel! Boy, I remember that last bank job I pulled when the S.W.A.T. team showed up – I felt “terrorized” too!! And I was only doing my job!! I was only doing the work that other Americans won’t do!! They only let me make one phone call (I had to call my lawyer) and then they wouldn’t let me go back home to my family!! I was separated from my loved ones for years due to a “broken” and racist system!! I call upon all Americans to support Comprehensive Bank Robbery reform legislation to prevent the pain of separation of working families!!

Now, please. Show some “compassion” and get out of that chair and let these deserving “immigrants” do your job!!

I have to go.  I have work to do.

I will only be voting for John McCain for the following reasons:

 

To prevent the Communist (Barack Obama) from taking control of our country.

To prevent Barack Obama from replacing Justices on the Supreme Court with leftist jurists.

To prevent Barack Obama from surrendering in Iraq and the War on Terror.

To prevent Barack Obama from instituting costly "National Health Care" upon our free society.

To prevent Barack Obama from raising our taxes.

To prevent Barack Obama from imposing something akin to the Kyoto Protocols on our nation’s economy.

To prevent Barack Obama from allowing sweeping amnesty to illegal aliens.

 

But for John McCain to appear and speak at a convention of "La Raza" in San Diego is appalling. This is an organization dedicated to restoring the South Western States to Mexico. This is a racist, separatist group.

 

John McCain continues to speak of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform". To the minds of most Citizens, there is nothing about out immigration system that requires "reform" other than the fact that no one is securing the border! And little is being done to rid this country of the invaders!

 

Yes, I say invaders! In 1986 our fearless leaders decided in their wisdom that we would accommodate the illegal immigrants in our country with amnesty. That amnesty covered some 2.7 million “illegal” immigrants. We were promised at that time that this would be a one-time-only deal. And that the U.S. Government would secure our southern border. Since then, as many as 20 million people have entered the United States illegally. This number of people entering the United States cannot be considered “immigration” especially when they come here illegally. This country is being invaded!

 

Mexicans (mostly) and others invade our country and John McCain says he wants a  "humane" policy towards the invaders living and working in our country. John McCain should first be “humane” to U.S. Citizens whose suffer loss of jobs, wages and their culture at the hands of invaders from Mexico and other countries. John McCain should try showing humanity to taxpayers who must support the cost of the invaders. John McCain should pander first to law-abiding Citizens who John McCain needs to vote for him to achieve his aim of becoming President!!

 

I do not believe he deserves the Presidency - even to call himself a Republican (he almost switched to the Democratic Party twice)! As with Bob Dole, he’s old and believes only that it’s his turn and he’s entitled. He’s put his personal ambition, ego and arrogance ahead of his (presumed) Party and country. No matter how unprepared or idiotic Barack Obama is, he is younger, handsome, dynamic and charming. Sadly, legions of young and old in this country will vote for Barack on those qualities alone. John McCain has put his Party and his country at risk for his own personal aims. And I resent that! Still, God help us if Barack Obama becomes President instead.

 

I will be voting for John McCain.

 

But I will be voting for him wearing a surgical mask, rubber gloves and likely a clothes pin on my nose. I will be voting for him, but only for the reason listed above.

Once again, the refrain from illegal immigrants and their supporters (including both viable presidential candidates) – is that the U.S. Immigration system is broken and needs to be “reformed”. “Immigration raids are tearing apart and hurting hard-working families!” These are “law-abiding” people who “pay taxes”. Immigration “reform” is necessary to provide these people “legal status” and a pathway to citizenship.

Can we be truthful about this subject?

“It ain’t broke!  Don’t ‘fix’ it!”

There is nothing wrong with the U.S. Immigration System except that it has been circumvented by those who came to this country without the permission of the U.S. Government. Or have entered the country with the permission of the U.S. Government and refused to leave when they were required to do so.

In Embassies and Consulate offices around the world, foreign nationals take a number, line up, pay fees, get doctor’s reports on their health status, acquire police reports showing no criminal history, employ attorneys to assist in the process, fill out forms, interview and then await the permission or not of the U.S. Government to come to the United States either to visit or to emigrate. Our government sets standards on who will be allowed to come and who will be denied that opportunity.

Ellis Island is revered as hollowed ground – the place where many or our ancestors entered this country to begin new lives. But Ellis Island is also the place where many were turned away as undesirable for a variety of reasons. The defining point – we decide who can come to our country and who cannot!

If you have entered this country illegally, you have already violated the laws of the United States and circumvented our immigration system! You have not abided by the immigration system and you may not cry foul at being “victimized” by said “broken system”.

If it’s broken, it’s because YOU broke it!!

Perhaps if you were one of those many millions of people taking a number, waiting in lines, paying fees, filling out forms, interviewing and then awaiting permission you may have an argument. It can be an arduous, bureaucratic system through which to find one’s way. But it does work!! People from many foreign lands do find their way here every day of every year.

If you have entered this country illegally, you have insulted and offended the people who adhere to and abide by the immigration system required by the United States Government and the people it represents!

If anything is “broken” with “the system”, you broke it! It is broken by those of you who have entered the United State illegally. The only thing that needs to be “fixed” is to prevent uninvited persons from crossing the border then finding and removing the ones that are already here.

We do not need “comprehensive” immigration “reform”. We do not need any “reform” of the immigration system at all. It works. The current laws are adequate to deal with the offenders. All that need be done is to build an impenetrable wall or fence along the southern border to secure it. Then find and remove the offenders already in the country

There! I “fixed” it!!
