Prominent bay area liberal talk show host faces prison

Read the disturbing account of Bernie Ward’s admission of distribution of child pornography over the internet.
Ward’s radio show was called “God Talk”

Apparently it was only a one-way conversation.

Put down that fork, you scoundrel!

Regardless of what Mom told you, stop eating your vegetables

The United Nations Children’s Fund has released a report detailing that in Mexico, 300,000 youngsters are toiling in the fields picking crops. According to the study, 43.5 per cent of Mexico’s population are children under the age of 18

We are certainly not in favor of child exploitation or the high levels of illiteracy that goes hand-in-hand with this abuse of children—imposed upon them by their impoverished parents.

What we do question is the above-the-fold headline in today’s daily: Child labor in Mexico puts food on U.S. tables.

Here’s their take on the story: About 300,000 youngsters such as Adriana (who attends school only one hour a day) work illegally in Mexico’s fields, the U.N. Children’s Fund says, making child labor a major link in the chain that increasingly supplies American dinner tables.

The logical conclusion is that we, the eaters of salads, and consumers of vegetables, should not harden our hearts to the plight of these families as they sneak across our borders in violation of our law. After all our gluttony is the real reason for their need to invade our country.

Get it?

Happy birthday, Harry

Taking a moment to remember a Democrat we can admire. Never one to stick his finger in the air or rely on popular opinion for direction, he proudly displayed a sign on his desk indicating, The buck stops here.”

Assuming office after the death of President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II, and with limited previous interaction with FDR, he told reporters, “I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.”

Harry would have been 124 years old today.

A mere $400,000 in taxpayer dollars will pacify ACLU lawyer

Daniel Pochoda, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of AZ (ACLU) has named Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas,  Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other employees of the agencies in his notice of claim, a precursor to a lawsuit.

Last November, Pochoda was arrested for trespassing in the parking lot of M.D. Pruitt’s Furniture store as supporters of illegal immigration were demonstrating in front of the store, in an ongoing effort to block customer access to the business. Sheriff’s deputies were working security at the scene.

A sheriff’s report indicates that prior to his arrest, Pochoda engaged in a verbal confrontation with deputies about his right to be in the parking lot. He refused repeated opportunities to leave the premises on his own, according to a report in the daily.

Thomas released a statement tying Pochoda’s legal claim to the ACLU’s opposition to a state law denying bail to illegal immigrants accused of serious crimes. The ACLU and Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) brought a class-action lawsuit in federal court challenging Proposition 100 last month.

“We will not be deterred from enforcing Proposition 100, nor will we be intimidated into giving preferential treatment to ACLU defendants,” Thomas’s statement read.

Pochoda has offered to settle the case for $400,000.

The EV Tribune: Getting it wrong

It’s not fear of immigration, it’s fury at those illegally invading our country

 The East Valley Tribune asks why people are so angry about immigration. In a nation built on immigrants, what is the problem?

The article, Why so angry about illegal immigration? stirs the pot by writing of a “backlash against foreigners who are perceived as a threat,” and further discusses ire vented on Arizona blogs and “a strong racist undercurrent running through the anti-immigration movement.”

Then they quote former president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza (The Race), ASU instructor Raul Yzaguirre, who points to the transformation of neighborhoods overwhelmed by immigrant Hispanics. At first, he said, small changes such as businesses moving in and putting up signs in Spanish are not seen as threatening. “But there comes a tipping point when the feelings about those changes turns into fear,” Yzagurre said.

It’s not fear, Mr. Yzaguirre. It is the fact that this nation is being inundated with lawbreakers, many of whom continue to break other laws once they have arrived illegally. The resentments are further exacerbated by the lack of an attempt at assimilation by Latino separatists and Reconquista, who believe the American Southwest is their land to reclaim.

The Tribune neglected to mention that Hillary Clinton has named Raul Yzaguirre, a supporter of amnesty and mass immigration, to lead her Hispanic outreach effort. He is the counterpart to John McCain’s Hispanic Outreach Director, Juan Hernandez–who says we are not separate nations, but merely a “region.”

Yzaguirre states, “That fear is then too often fueled by opportunistic politicians who exploit the situation for votes, rather then working to alleviate fears . That in turn only serves to fan the psychological flames and incite even more anger,” he said.

And in case you might not have guessed the “exploitive…opportunistic politician,” the next paragraph thoughtfully provides the name of Rep. Russell Pearce (R-Dist.18), who authored the state’s stringent employer sanctions law, which penalizes businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens.

For good measure, they add Salvador Reza, an illegal alien organizer and protest leader to the mix. He operates the Macehualli Work Center for illegal laborers. Reza, hardly concealing threats, incites Hispanic street demonstrators, then says they were able to keep incidents from escalating, but added he’s unsure whether it will be possible in the future. “It’s getting very hard to tell people not to confront them,” he said. “We can’t control the anger anymore.”

The “them” Reza refers to is us–American citizens who have had their fill.

Obama’s “wonderful” new minister

Otis Moss III, is assuming the duties as chief pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ. This is the church where the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright reigned supreme, preaching black liberation theology, rooted in the black power movement, until his recent retirement.

The 37-year-old Moss, known as the “hip-hop pastor” to his congregants, appears to have a few problems all his own.

WorldNetDaily runs a column titled, Uh-oh, here we go again: Meet Obama’s new pastor, in which Moss compares Wright to Jesus, and supports Wright’s claims that the U.S. government was involved in distributing illegal drugs to minorities and spreading the AIDS virus to blacks.

Watch a short clip of Moss’s fiery “Being Black is a skin disease” sermon here.
