Read this letter to Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl from Holder’s own Justice Department regarding the FBI’s decision to suspend formal association with CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).
Dawud Walid, the executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter where Holder will speak, said, “A lot of people are there…the NAACP, the ACLU, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee…the National Lawyers’ Guild.”
The old adage, “You are known by the company you keep,” applies.
This Saturday November 14, 2009 promises to be an historic day as Americans of every race, political party, and religious denomination unify behind Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration that have quickly formed in over 50 cities in reaction to the news that Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) plans to introduce Comprehensive Amnesty legislation by the end of November.
Illegal Immigration is being encouraged and supported by radical leftist groups working with illegal alien profiteers and duplicitous politicians. For illegal Immigration to be stopped and reversed, your help is needed now.
Please support the Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration by signing up as a supporter and/or volunteer. Anna Gaines is the Arizona contact person.
If the sellout politicians succeed in turning an estimated 20+ million illegal aliens into new, and predominantly Democrat voters, then it will not matter what your other issues are — American citizens will have lost control of our nation.
The Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration are being organized by Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC). Visit their website www.AgainstAmnesty.com. The website also provides event locations and times accompanied by maps.
As Nancy Pelosi glowingly reported on the “bi-partisan” passage of the House’s version of Obama’s nationalization and massive power grab of America’s health care system, here are the facts.
Just a single Republican, Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, voted with the Democrats. The Los Angles Times provides an overview of the sellout chap who represents a predominantly Democrat district..
Check out the nation’s congressional representatives and their votes here.
Uber-liberal Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) — because this version didn’t go far enough left to suit him — joined with Republicans in voting against the monstrosity. Bad reason, good vote.
In the end the $1 trillion+ bill, HR 3962, erroneously titled Affordable Health Care for America Act, passed 220 – 215, with 39 Democrats joining 176 Republicans.
The vote against the bill was indeed bi-partisan; the vote in favor was a sham.
Amazingly, it took Barack Hussein Obama 2 1/2 minutes to get to the topic in his first statement addressing the horrific terror attack at the military base that left 13 dead and 30 wounded.
Read this account by Robert George from NBC Chicago.
The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirms that a failure to comply with the Democrats’ nationalized health mandate can lead to 5 years imprisonment and criminal fines of up to a quarter of a million dollars!
Here are the stunning facts released by Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee U.S. Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail.
The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.
This is not the game of Monopoly, folks, where drawing the Go Directly to Jail card is part of an entertaining amusement that is forgotten once the board is folded up and put away. We are talking about our own government forcefully compelling citizens to comply with their socialized scheme or face major consequences.
According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under Nancy Pelosi’s bill would tally in at $15,000 per year in 2016.
No sooner had we celebrated the exit of Barack Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, because of his Communist connections, another off-the-wall Administration embarrassment surfaced. President Obama nominated for commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) a woman who signed a radical manifesto endorsing polygamy.
We thought our nation had settled the polygamy issue a century and a half ago, but this nomination makes it a 21st century controversy. Obama’s nominee for the EEOC, a lesbian law-school professor named Chai R. Feldblum, signed a 2006 manifesto endorsing polygamous households.
We may have to depend on the Republican Party to maintain government’s proper role in defining and protecting traditional marriage. The very first Platform adopted by the Republican Party, in 1856, condemned polygamy and slavery as the “twin relics of barbarism,” and the 2008 Republican Platform calls for “a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it.”
Leif Erickson, Ferdinand Magellan, Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus?
Nope. This one is Samuel Pearson Goddard, III. In case that elite name doesn’t ring a bell, you might recall him better as “Terry,” the more informal moniker for his family nickname of “Trey,” meaning The Third in continental-speak.
The Harvard graduate, who as a lad attended the toney Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire, is the son of former Arizona Gov. Sam Goddard. Like the Babbitt’s and DiConcini’s, the Goddard family is an Arizona Democrat political dynasty.
Terry, a one-time Phoenix mayor, is currently the term-limited Arizona Attorney General. He has nursed long-standing aspirations to put another Goddard in the ninth floor governor’s office, trying and losing to Fife Symington twice.
Apparently the Brewer announcement last evening was too much for him to handle, causing him to impertinently leap into the fray today. He opened his gubernatorial exploratory campaign — within hours of hearing that Gov. Jan Brewer jumped the gun on him. Apparently those Eastern schooled folks don’t know about the time honored Western concepts of keepin’ your powder dry, coolin’ your heels or Waiting for Godot.
His nearly 87-year-old campaign chairman is former Democrat Gov. Rose Mofford, who as Secretary of State inherited the office when Gov. Evan Mecham was impeached. Mofford was a short-timer who did not run for her own term.
Journalist and theologian, Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. who authors The Last Crusade website has written an excellent overview of Major Malik Nadal Hasan, 39, who opened fire on American troops at Fort Hood, Texas — in a murderous rampage that left 13 people dead and 30 people wounded. The carnage began as approximately 300 soldiers lined up to get vaccinations and have their eyes tested at a Soldier Readiness Center.
Hasan, a devout Muslim and Army psychiatrist, who openly condemned the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and was vocal in his support of global jihad, was never reprimanded for his anti-American tirades. At least six months ago, Hasan drew the attention of law enforcement officials due to Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
Soldiers reported that he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — an Arabic phrase for “God is great!” – just prior to opening fire.
He is already getting the kid glove treatment by AP for his agitation over his impending military deployment. Mark Steyn notes that according to the MSM, it seems Hasan has a virulent case of Pre-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
President Obama even issued a bizarre statement regarding the carnage: “We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”
Thirteen dead and 30 injured would be a damn good starting place in your fact-finding quest, Mr. President.
Purely political motives are the driving force behind the senate Democrats vote to block a requirement that next year’s census forms ask respondents whether they are U.S. citizens. The politically lopsided senate ensured the 60-39 procedural vote, making the issue ineligible for attachment to a bill funding the census.
The proposal by Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter was aimed at excluding illegal aliens from the crucial population totals that are used to calculate the number of congressional representatives for each state. Vitter’s state of Louisiana stands to lose one of its seven congressional seats.
Democrats disingenuously argued that the plan would be too expensive and also said that it’s long been settled law that the apportionment of congressional seats is determined by the number of people in each state, regardless of citizenship status. And if that doesn’t convince you, they added that Vitter’s proposal is “immoral and divisive.”
The latest national unemployment numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor came in at higher than expectations, topping 10 percent for the first time since April 1983. October’s 190,000 job losses also exceeded administration projections of 175,000 — horrendous enough. Nearly 16 million people remain unable to find jobs in the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Although economists predict the unemployment rate could climb as high as 10.5 percent next year as employers remain reluctant to hire, the actual numbers are much worse. When factoring in those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the actual jobless rate would be 17.5 percent. Americans who have been out of work for six months or longer rose to an all-time record 5.6 million. They account for 35.6 percent of the unemployed population.
These staggering numbers represent families without income and the inability to pay rent, insurance, put gas in their cars, make basic purchases and put food on the table. Such harsh realities do not bode well for the passage of Obama’s federalized takeover of medical care, as moderate and more conservative congressional Democrats, responding to constituent pressure, will distance themselves from the administration’s costly and unsustainable programs. We have just seen evidence of this pull back by America’s voters on Tuesday.
The comprehensive Labor Department report on Arizona’s unemployment numbers is available here.
