		<description>RECEIVED IN MY EMAIL BY ANOTHER GREAT PATRIOT

 

 

Dear Mr. Robert Reich,
I have the video of you saying it Robert...and I saw you on TV...what more is there for me to see, hear or read.  Your RACIST and discrimination remark against WHITE males is all over the nation. 
Is this administration a RACIST one...?  It certainly appears to be.
You leave us NO choice but to take this to the legal experts.
Our government employees have run amok...you DON'T listen to those that feed you.  This is a REPUBLIC and it is NOT the duty of our government to say who gets to work or what kind of work they will be allowed to do EXCEPT what our constitution says and you all don't care what THAT says either.   Hillary Clinton has NO right to take the job as Secretary of State.  She voted for the pay raise and under our constitution has NO right to accept the seat, but YOU employees don't care about THAT either...you overlook THAT and allow her to be appointed.  
Isn't that TREASON Robert...?
Now tell me Robert, just WHY has this Barry Soetoro/AKA Obama or whoever he REALLY is allowed to keep his "VAULT LIVE BIRTH" birth certificate, his college records, his medical records, his passport SEALED from us...?  WHY did he and the Democratic party spend all those hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight his records from being exposed...? 
Answer this Robert..!!  WHAT is there for him to hide...?  Do you think it none of OUR business...?
Our employees are picking and choosing what part of our constitution they want to abide by.
Wake up Robert....this country was founded UNDER GOD and GOD ALMIGHTY is watching all of us.  We are the ONLY nation on this planet to be so BLESSED.  We only need to look around and see that He is getting fed up too. 
God have mercy on our employees for the likes of what evil they do. i.e.; supporting the perversion, the criminals, the INVASION of foreign illegals, the removing of God from our country and the corruption they do.
ILLEGAL aliens in our country have NO SAY what our government should or should not do.   They do NOT deserve AMNESTY or ANY benefits from us taxpaying CITIZENS.  They SHOULD be DEPORTED.  As I see it, pandering to them is TREASON.
Thank you for your reply
Mrs. S. Ellison
 
SIT BACK AND WATCH......THERE WON'T BE ANY VALID ANSWERS, JUST NAME CALLING, BECAUSE WHEN THEY KNOW THEY'RE IN THE WRONG, THAT'S ALL THEY CAN RESORT TO.
 
 


WE MIGHT NOT WIN, BUT YOU CAN'T WIN WITHOUT US!</description>

            Preemptive Strike Against Mexico Needed to Protect Americans           
 

           
           











           
 By John W. Lillpop

As Mexico's "war on drugs" decays further and further into civil war, President Obama and Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano need to be aware of the sub-human Mexican animals whose barbaric behavior could eventually endanger the lives and well being of Americans on the U.S. side of the border.

As reported by Reuters (1), in part:

"OJO DE AGUA, Mexico, Jan 23 (Reuters) - A Mexican drug suspect has confessed to dissolving the bodies of 300 rivals with corrosive chemicals near the U.S. border, in a claim highlighting the brutality of Mexico's drug war.

"Santiago Meza, known as "The Stew Maker," told journalists he did away with bodies in industrial drums on the outskirts of the violent city of Tijuana.

"More than 700 people died in Tijuana last year as rival gangs battled for control of the city's lucrative drug trade. Many others are missing and believed dead after being abducted.

"The suspect, who was paraded before journalists by the army on Friday, said he was paid $600 a week by a breakaway faction of the Arellano Felix cartel to dispose of slain rivals with caustic soda, a highly corrosive substance.

"They brought me the bodies and I just got rid of them," Meza said at a construction site where he said he dissolved 300 corpses last year. "I didn't feel anything."

"The bodies took 24 hours to dissolve but left some remains that were dumped in a nearby pit, Meza said.

"A high-ranking army officer told Reuters he believed Meza, who was arrested with three other people on Thursday, was telling the truth.

"Police have previously recovered human remains burned with acid in and around the city.

"Meza, 45, said he had been getting rid of bodies for 10 years.

"May they forgive me," he said, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.

"The spiraling violence of Mexico's drug war has cast a pall over the country and presents a huge challenge to President Felipe Calderon, who has deployed thousands of troops to crush the cartels.

"The drug war claimed 5,700 lives across Mexico last year, more than double the number of victims in 2007. (Editing by Peter Cooney)"

Instead of fretting over nonsense like Rush Limbaugh, assuring that US taxpayer money is available to fund abortions, and gays in the military, President Obama needs to do that which should have been done on the afternoon of September 11, 2001:

Seal off the US-Mexico border with armed military force.

In addition, the Obama administration should immediately implement detailed plans for a preemptive military strike against our third-world neighbor to keep it's gory violence from despoiling pristine American soil!

El Universal  (Mexico City)  1/15/09
 
The number of homicides linked to the underworld in the country rose to 205 so far this month, after 15 persons were executed in the last few hours.
According to this dailys statistics, homicides totaled 105 during the same period of 2008. Thirteen men, two of them police officers, were assassinated by gunfire in Chihuahua.

El Diario  (Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua,  ed.)  1/15/09

El Financiero  (Mexico City)  1/15/09
 
Two ex-top directors of Interpol in Mexico, Rodolfo de la Guardia Garcia and Ricardo Gutierrez Vargas, were sent to a federal prison in Nayarit for having collaborated with drug cartels by furnishing strategic information and by placing other collaborators as regional chiefs of the AFI (Mex. equiv to FBI), all in return for substantial monthly payments by the cartels. (Under Mexicos criminal justice system, the length of their sentences has yet to be determined.)
-
 
El Imparcial  (Hermosillo, Sonora)  1/15/09
 
Following an anonymous lead, Mex. army personnel seized five tons of marihuana from a house in Agua Prieta, Sonora (this is right across from Douglas, AZ). And in Nogales, Sonora, police went to an area south of town where the chapels of Saint Death are located and there found the wrapped, mutilated and tortured body of a local attorney who had been strangled with a wire used as a tourniquet. A narcomessage was attached to the bedding wrapped around the victim.
-
 
El Informador  (Guadalajara, Jalisco)  1/15/09
 
Adrian Rodriguez, third commander of the police in Pihuamo, Jalisco, and his accompanying son both fell victims to a car-to-car gunfire assault Thursday morning. The police commander was killed and his minor son is in critical condition at a hospital in Colima.

El Sur  (Acapulco, Guerrero)  1/15/09
 
A Justice and Honor Commission president in Acapulco stated that there are currently 66 cases of antidoping (sic) regarding area police officers; 19 of these inquiries  have been completed and all that is left to do is to notify those persons that they are fired from their jobs.
-
  
Excelsior  (Mexico City)  1/15/09
 
A group calling itself the Citizens Command for Juarez used the internet to make a massive calling to Mexicos national and local news media as well as to citizens. It proposes and calls to end the life of one criminal every 24 hours in order to bring about calm once again to that border.</description>

		<description>At last someone had the balls to stick his neck out and complain about
his outrage over the pervert deputy sheriff scandal.  I'm talking about
the letter in yesterday's opinion page, from one Ted Davis.  Sad to say,
I didn't find any outrage from any of the posters here and I wonder why?

A comment to the Davis letter suggested  "No big deal.....after all, it was
not a violent crime".   WHAT?????  The idiot should tell this to all the 
little kids who have been victims .  Then, tell it to the parents of those
little kids!!</description>

Even timmy can't get this wrong. 

CERTIFICATE of RECOGNITION

By virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution in the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, there is hereby officially recognized:

LEE-JACKSON DAY

WHEREAS, Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson are native
Virginians, having served our great nation and Commonwealth as
educators, leaders, and
military strategists; and

WHEREAS, Lee served in the United States Army for more than three
decades until he left
his position to serve as Commander in Chief of Virginia’s military
forces and as
Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia; and

WHEREAS, Jackson taught philosophy and military tactics as a professor
at the Virginia
Military Institute in Lexington for nearly a decade before serving
briefly in the United
States Army and later joining the Confederate Army to fight for his
native Virginia; and

WHEREAS, Lee dedicated his life after the Civil War to reforming higher
education in the
South by serving as President of Washington College, now Washington &#38;
Lee University,
in Lexington, Virginia, where he helped to greatly increase the school’s
funding and expand
the curriculum to create an atmosphere most conducive to learning for
young men of both
Southern and Northern heritage; and

WHEREAS, Jackson’s leadership and bravery enabled him to rally his
troops to several
improbable victories against opposition forces much larger than his own,
and Jackson’s
inspired “Stonewall Brigade” fought alongside General Lee’s troops
toward another victory
even after their leader was fatally wounded on the second day of the
Battle of
Chancellorsville; and

WHEREAS, it is fitting to recognize Generals Lee and Jackson as two of
our nation’s most
notable military strategists, as beloved leaders among their troops, as
pioneers in the field of
higher education and as faithful and dedicated Virginians; and

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Timothy M. Kaine, do hereby recognize January 16,
2009 as
LEE-JACKSON DAY in the COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA and call this observance to
the attention of all our citizens.

		<description>Fellow Patriots,

    I don't have time to mince words...we need action and we need it now!   Just in on the newswire from DC today: the State Children's Health Insurance Program bill (SCHIP) was voted on in the House of Representatives...without any committee hearing!!!



    HELP US SEND IN MINUTEMAN CHAIRMAN CHRIS SIMCOX TO DC TO FIGHT SCHIP!!! CLICK HERE NOW!


    Folks, as most of you know, standard procedure for any legislation - whether in the House or the Senate - is that a bill is drafted and assigned to a committee.  The committee members then schedule the bill for a hearing, debate, and a vote on whether to send it to the floor for a full vote from all the members...

    Well...not today...

    Leftist pro-amnesty liberals have skirted the system by skipping the committee process altogether!
   
    SCHIP was forced to the floor of the House today for debate and a vote!!!  IT PASSED: 289-139!!!



    STOP SCHIP FROM GIVING FREE MONEY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!!! CLICK HERE NOW!


    As you may recall, in last year's session SCHIP was floated by members of Congress - with a full approval from the Bush Administration!

    ...that should tell you enough right there...but wait, there's more...

    When it was originally conceived, SCHIP was a plan to give federal funds to poor, uninsured children around the country.  Sounds harmless and kind, right?  Wrong!  It was merely the proverbial camel's nose under the tent for nationalized health care.

    Remember the phrase, "It's for the children"?  Well, you get the idea.

    As if the original SCHIP proposal weren't bad enough, the "new and improved" version is downright scandalous!!!



    HELP MINUTEMAN PAC SEND IN REINFORCEMENTS TO DC TO STOP SCHIP AND FREE MONEY TO ILLEGALS!!!


    Voted on the House Floor today was the newer version of SCHIP which--again did NOT get ANY committee hearing at all, NONE, ZIP, ZILCH.  Here's a quick summary of the changes in the bill, which were only made available to Republicans early this morning:

    "The bill would dilute the focus on America’s poorest of children by opening SCHIP to the children of illegal aliens as the bill eliminates the identity-verification requirements in the current law and severely limits what states can do to attain proof of citizenship. The bill also removes the five-year waiting period legal residents are currently required to wait before enrolling in Medicaid or SCHIP. The bill does not include a cap on income for eligibility which would permit families making more than $80,000 eligible for coverage, whether American citizens or not."



    WE MUST STOP THIS BILL NOW!!! HELP US SEND IN CARMEN MERCER AND CHRIS SIMCOX TO CONGRESS!!!


    Now, I'm sure I don't have to spell it all out for you here...because it's obvious what leftists Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are doing!

    They are stacking the decks with ultra-liberal legislation - which they hope to pass with their new majorities in Congress - and wait until after the inauguration to send them to President Obama to sign!!!

    As if a trillion-dollar "economic stimulus" package [read: give-away package] both by Bush and Obama weren't bad enough...now the leftists in Congress are proposing to give away free health care to ALL CHILDREN...rich or poor, legal or illegal!

    And of course, health care isn't "provided" by Congress...No, it's "paid for" by Congress...

    ...and how do you suppose Congress will pay for that free health care?

    That's right!  MORE TAXES!!!

    Friends, this is beyond unconstitutional; it's beyond illegal; and it's beyond immoral...IT'S SOCIALIST!  We warned that this was going to happen, and now here's the evidence right before our eyes.

    We did our best to prepare you for what was coming down the pike, and we hope you heeded our warning.  But, now, as we said then, we must stand up and fight this tyranny...just as the Minutemen of the Revolution did.

    Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are ready to sell our republic down the river...

    ...And if we don't stand together now and fight, we'll lose our country and have nothing left to pass down to our posterity!



    CLICK HERE! HELP MINUTEMAN PAC STOP OBAMA, PELOSI, AND REID FROM DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!


    Here's what happens next: the House will send the passed SCHIP bill over to the Senate for conference.  And we all know how much the Senate loves amnesty and free giveaways to illegal aliens. 

    When they do, we'll stage our fight there.  We've fought amnesty on that battleground before, and we'll do it again.  BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!   

    We're sending in MMPAC Honorary Chairman Chris Simcox AND Vice-Chairwoman Carmen Mercer to personally fight the battle.  Carmen Mercer is already there...and Chris is soon to follow.  Of course, this fight will come at a great expense to Minuteman PAC, but we must fight it nonetheless!

    That's why we need your help to ensure that they have all the resources they need to sharpen the sword and do battle on The Hill.

    In addition to supporting our fight, we need EVERYONE to call their Senators and demand that they vote down this travesty of a bill!

    Just as we defeated McCain-Kennedy amnesty, we can defeat SCHIP...but all hands must be on deck for this fight.  This is a call to arms; man your post and help us defeat this socialist bill now and forever!

    For America,

    Brett Farley
    Executive Director
    Minuteman PAC

    P.S.  One of the worst bills to be drafted in years has now passed in the House of Representatives.  It promises to give free health care to ALL children in the U.S.--rich or poor, legal or illegal...at a cost of billions to you and me.  It's amnesty all over again...we will defeat it, but we need your urgent help now!  Click Here to help us send Chris Simcox and Carmen Mercer to DC to fight SCHIP!  And pass the word to all your friends and family!  We cannot let this bill get to the desk of Barack Obama!</description>

		<description>Both Parties, you are right on about the Treasury pick by Obama. What a disgrace... just who I want to run our country's Treasury - a man who didn't pay his taxes until Obama asked him to be the Sec. of the Treasury.

As for what Bush said about comprehensive immigration reform, that was an even bigger disgrace. Bush knows the majority of American do not want amnesty or immigration reform - we simply want the existing laws enforced. Bush has no shame. I am sorry to say that I voted for him in '04.</description>

		<description>Voting out all or nearly all incumbents is a worthy cause.  Jailing most of them afterwards would be ideal too i think but probably not feasible.</description>

		<description>Ohhhhhh this needs to be said too.

If you read this - http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/15/bush.legacy/index.html

Bush makes the arguement that he should have used his political capital after 2004 to fight for Immigration Reform as priority #1.  What he chose to "fight for" at the time was privatizing Social Security.

Had he privatized it we can see now we would have had a huge disaster and lots of our parents eating dog food.

Instead he wishes he'd been able to sign an Amnesty for millions and degrade wages further for most Americans, and increase poverty in America.  His friend Vincente would have liked that I'm sure.

Bush.  The wrong man at the wrong time.

A flaming disaster.</description>

		<description>Some of you squandered your outrage on "Obama faking his birth certificate" and "the media picking on Sarah Palin" to the point where when a real outrage comes along, the usual bi-partisan crookedness, I don't hear a peep about it.

Obama's appointment of Geithner for Treasury Secretary is a DISGRACE.  

If the average American cheated on his taxes to this tune they will frequently GO TO JAIL.  Not this guy.  He gets to be Treasury Secretary.

Both parties are A-OK with handing the post over to this guy.  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123194884833281695.html?mod=article-outset-box

If we are to believe the spin that the guy didn't actually understand how to file, if we accept that rather laughable premise, it only makes him MORE UNQUALIFIED to be TREASURY SECRETARY.  

Absolutely disgusting - and, apparently, a done deal.  Because we don't really have opposing parties in America.  We have two parties that collude to undermine us for the sake of their wealthy cohorts while putting on a dog-and-pony show about "fiscal conservatives" vs. "America-first liberals", "social progressives" vs. "familly values conservatives", "Joe Six Pack" vs. "my grandmother's values", etc. etc.

the whole thing is rather obvious and disgusting if you look at it objectively rather than through the prism of all this fake partisan politics.</description>

<p>Obama&#8217;s appointment of Geithner for Treasury Secretary is a DISGRACE.  </p>
<p>If the average American cheated on his taxes to this tune they will frequently GO TO JAIL.  Not this guy.  He gets to be Treasury Secretary.</p>
<p>Both parties are A-OK with handing the post over to this guy.  <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123194884833281695.html?mod=article-outset-box" rel="nofollow">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123194884833281695.html?mod=article-outset-box</a></p>
<p>If we are to believe the spin that the guy didn&#8217;t actually understand how to file, if we accept that rather laughable premise, it only makes him MORE UNQUALIFIED to be TREASURY SECRETARY.  </p>
<p>Absolutely disgusting - and, apparently, a done deal.  Because we don&#8217;t really have opposing parties in America.  We have two parties that collude to undermine us for the sake of their wealthy cohorts while putting on a dog-and-pony show about &#8220;fiscal conservatives&#8221; vs. &#8220;America-first liberals&#8221;, &#8220;social progressives&#8221; vs. &#8220;familly values conservatives&#8221;, &#8220;Joe Six Pack&#8221; vs. &#8220;my grandmother&#8217;s values&#8221;, etc. etc.</p>
<p>the whole thing is rather obvious and disgusting if you look at it objectively rather than through the prism of all this fake partisan politics.</p>

		<description>in today's MJM:

This Jerry Erickson guy sounds familiar, like he posts on the blogs.

Of course the story mentions the Hysterical Housewives yet again, and of course it had to mention "diversity" again. When the chips are down, the economy is bad and illegal immigrants are overrunning everything who gives a damn about diversity?</description>

		<description>another thing I find very interesting (and very telling) is that the 9500 liberty people are no where to be found these days. i predicted this long ago, after the election they would fade into the woodwork. A few economy parties here and there and...poof, gone like the wind.

I guess they really DO care about illegal immigrants (sarcasm alert). It's also funny that now that the economy is worse than before, the anti chicks dont seem to be holding any parties to boost the economy. Not that they ever did really boost anything (other than their ego's) but that's pretty telling in and of itself.

I had always said that the illegal immigration issue (and others) were just tools to boost their ego. as soon as the issue died down in the press, so they went their separate ways and found something else to be activist about.

I take words from the person above, liberals are stupid and elitist and they make me sick.</description>

		<description>Battle Cat,
I was thinking about it.  All the Liberals in Fairfax  driving thier fancy suvs or eco friendly priuses and living in their mcmansions are so broke that they don't have any money left over at the end of the month to give to charity.  Could that be a reason they don't mind the taxes they pay?  They think it is their patriotic duty even their moral duty to pay more and more taxes that provide more and more welfare?  Liberals are stupid and selfish people.  Gerry connelly is a piece of work. total Obama head.</description>
