For those of you who've not availed yourself of the opportunity to watch "The Glenn Beck Program", you are missing Americana in the making and the history of current political events being chronicled for posterity.  Traditional American Values aren't gone ...they're being deliberately obfuscated and concealed where ever the philospophy of progressive socialism and Marxim can get a foothold with it's "Big Lie" stealth propaganda machine. -- rfh, a paleoconservative

Soros 'Buying Reporters' for NPR (from Big Journalism)
     "The left loves to go wild claiming that Rupert Murdoch, a famous conservative, owns a few news outlets.  The left is also aghast that well known '"righty" Roger Ailes guides Fox News.  Ailes's ideology makes of his network a compromised product, they claim.   It's all a travesty of "news" and "proof" that those agencies are contaminated by right-wing ideology say lefty detractors.  So, with the news that George Soros is buying one hundred political "reporters" for National Public Radio (NPR), one waits with bated breath for the left to decry the fact that a famous anti-American leftist is buying and influencing the "news."   One will likely wait in vain, too.
     In fact, The New York Times doesn't even mention the left-wing ideology of the foundation that is supplying $1.8 million to NPR so it can hire political reporters across the country.   The left-wing Open Society Foundations is donating the large sum to NPR for a project being called "Impact of Government."  The project is planning to add at least 100 reporters across the country to cover local state house politics to fill the holes left by the firing of so many local reporters due to the contraction in the field of journalism over the last decade."

News - It's Official: Obama Has Now Borrowed $3 Trillion (CNSNews)

From: E-Brief from CNSNews.com Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 Subject: It's Official: Obama Has Now Borrowed $3 Trillion

It's Official: Obama Has Now Borrowed $3 Trillion  (CNSNews.com) - It took almost 200 years -- from 1776 until 1990 -- for the federal government to accumulate a total of $3 trillion in debt, according to the Treasury Department. But it took far less time -- from Jan. 20, 2009, the day President Barack Obama was inaugurated, until Oct. 15, 2010 for the Obama administration to add $3 trillion to the federal debt. Shots Fired at Pentagon on Tuesday and at National Marine Corps Museum Over the Weekend  (CNSNews.com) - Several bullets struck the Pentagon early Tuesday morning but did not penetrate the building. And in a similar incident that may or may not be connected, police also are investigating several shots fired at the National Marine Corps Museum in Triangle, Virginia -- about 36 miles south of Washington -- over the weekend. The bullets left holes in upper-level windows. Obama's Border Patrol Chief: Give Illegals 'Road to Citizenship,' Let Mexicans Work Here Legally  (CNSNews.com) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin, who oversees both the Customs Service and the Border Patrol, says the United States must create what he called "a legitimate labor market between the United States and Mexico." Maryland's Democratic Governor Calls Illegal Immigrants 'New Americans' (CNSNews.com) – Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, in his first televised debate with Republican challenger Bob Ehrlich, repeatedly referred to people who come to this country illegally as "new Americans" on Monday night. "We should not blame new Americans for the problems that our country is going through right now. It's wrong," O'Malley said. Moms Who Chose Life Over Abortion Become Activists on Capitol Hill  (CNSNews.com) – "I really didn't realize how much people do not know about pregnancy centers," one pro-life activist told CNSNews.com. And now that those centers are under attack by pro-abortion groups, "I really do want the senators and members of Congress to know the truth and to continue to support them." Vatican's Chief Justice: Catholic Politicians Who Support Abortion or Gay Marriage Must Publicly Repent  (CNSNews.com) – Catholic politicians who publicly support abortion or homosexual marriage and then seek to turn away from such "gravely sinful acts" must perform "public" acts of "repentance," said Raymond Burke, the archbishop emeritus of St. Louis and the current head of the highest court at the Vatican. Howard Dean: 'Racist Fringe' Exists in Tea Party That 'Media Hypes Up'  (CNSNews.com) - Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Republicans "think they're on a mission. And I think their mission is well outside the mainstream." But he said he views the tea party "differently." Federal Appeals Court Finds Ill. School 'Moment of Silence' Is Constitutional  (CNSNews.com) – A federal appeals court has overturned a 2009 lower court ruling that a mandatory moment of silence in Illinois public schools was unconstitutional.

Fight Looms Over 'Religious Defamation' Measure at the United Nations (CNSNews.com) – Supporters and opponents of the annual United Nations' "defamation of religion" resolution are gearing up for what may be the biggest battle yet, with Islamic states roused by recent controversies in the U.S. and critics energized by growing awareness about blasphemy laws. COMMENTARY Tribalism Returns to Europe By Patrick J. Buchanan  Is Europe's adventure in international living about to end? In Germany this past weekend, Chancellor Angela Merkel told young conservatives that Germany's attempt to create a multicultural society where people "live side by side and enjoy each other" has "failed, utterly failed." Backing up her rueful admission are surveys showing 30 percent of Germans believe the country is overrun by foreigners. What is happening in Europe partakes of a global trend. Multiracial, multi-ethnic, multicultural nations are disintegrating.  Is the EPA Trying to Destroy the USA?  By Alan Caruba Most Americans don't pay attention to the cast of characters setting the EPA's agenda. They include the president's top environment advisor, Carol Browner, a former EPA director under Bill Clinton; and Lisa Jackson, the current EPA administrator, and an acolyte of Browner. This is the most anti-energy administration in the nation's history, and it poses a grave threat to the economy. DHS Alerted Arizona Sheriffs That Mexican Drug Cartel Was Sending Assassins Into U.S., But Did Little To Warn Travelers Away  (CNSNews.com) – The Department of Homeland Security warned Arizona law enforcement officials in May that Mexican drug cartels were deploying assassins to kill bandits hijacking their drug loads in the Vekol Valley, 70 miles inside Arizona. That local law enforcement would be left to confront agents of a foreign cartel coming across the U.S. border to carry out a deadly drug war on U.S. soil is further evidence that the federal government is not doing its duty to secure the border, said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.  DOJ Awarded $324M to Subsidize Costs of Incarcerating Illegal Immigrants in FY2010  (CNSNews.com) - The Justice Department awarded $324 million in fiscal year 2010 to states and localities to help pay the salaries of corrections officers responsible for incarcerating criminal illegal immigrants. Those subsidies marked a decline of 18 percent from fiscal year 2009, when $394 million was distributed by the department. Former DNC Chairman: 'Elections Are Not the Time to Educate People'  (CNSNews.com) – Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said that Democrats campaigning for the Nov. 2 mid-term elections should wait until they win before "educating" constituents about the benefits they will derive from the new health care law. "You win the election, then you educate people afterwards," Dean told National Public Radio on Saturday. Obama Administration Uses Taxpayer Funding to Encourage 'Sustainable Communities' (CNSNews.com) – The U.S. government is stepping in with millions of taxpayer dollars to create affordable places for Americans to work and live.

U.S. Government Funding Translation of Marquis de Sade  (CNSNews.com) - The U.S. government is funding a translation of a novel by the Marquis de Sade that, according to the National Endowment for the Arts, "is replete with Sade's black humor, unique philosophy, and original thought."

Obama Administration Hails the OIC's Growing Role in Afghanistan and Pakistan (CNSNews.com) - Islamic nations – members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) -- are playing an increasingly important role in the international effort to support "democracy" in Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to the Obama administration. Of the eight Islamic countries whose contributions it cites favorably, however, only three are viewed as electoral democracies – Turkey, Malaysia and Bangladesh. Turkey-U.S. Relations in the Spotlight As Conference Begins in Washington (CNSNews.com) - An important conference on U.S.-Turkey ties is underway in Washington, D.C., on Monday, at a time when an apparent shift in Ankara's foreign policy priorities has raised questions about the relationship between the longstanding NATO allies. The Islamist-leaning government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has drawn closer to Iran and Syria and away from Israel, voted against a U.N. Security Council Iran sanctions resolution last June, and recently held what is believed to be Turkey's first ever joint military exercise with China.

o'bamanomics - National Debt Increases for 53rd Straight Fiscal Year; Jumped $1.65 Trillion in FY 2010

From: http://CNSNews.com Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010

National Debt Increases for 53rd Straight Fiscal Year; Jumped $1.65 Trillion in FY 2010  (CNSNews.com) - The national debt increased for the 53rd straight fiscal year in fiscal 2010, when it jumped $1.65 trillion, according to data posted online by the Bureau of the Public Debt and confirmed by a spokesperson for the agency. The bureau says its reporting of the federal debt at the end of each fiscal year (as posted here) states exactly to the penny the full and actual amount the U.S. government has borrowed as of that date. Value-Added Tax Would Hurt Economy, Kill Jobs, Business Group Study Finds  (CNSNews.com) – An economic analysis sponsored by the National Retail Federation shows that a Value-Added Tax would damage economic growth and kill hundreds of thousands of jobs. The study showed that a large reduction in federal spending would be better for the economy. President Obama's Fiscal Commission reportedly is considering a VAT as one option for reigning in out-of-control federal deficits. Iran Elected to Chair OPEC Next Year; Dismisses Western Energy Sanctions as Ineffective (CNSNews.com) – For the first time since the Islamic revolution, Iran has been handed the rotating presidency of the OPEC cartel of oil-producing nations. The move comes at a time when Western governments are seeking to target Iran's energy sector over its nuclear programs. Iran is pushing for oil to be priced against a currency, or basket of currencies, other than the U.S. dollar. Warm Reception for Ahmadinejad Came From Lebanese Leaders As Well As Hezbollah (CNSNews.com) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's provocative visit to Lebanon made headlines for a second day Thursday, but less attention has been given to the warm reception he received from Lebanese leaders and groups other than Hezbollah. Ahmadinejad also received expressions of support from top leaders including President Michel Suleiman and parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri, both of whom hosted events in the Iranian's honor. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Ahmadinejad visit, calling the situation in Lebanon "volatile." George Clooney: 'We Could Be Facing a Real Disaster Again' in Sudan  (CNSNews.com) - Actor and activist George Clooney, who met with President Barack Obama and lawmakers about Sudan this week, told CNSNews.com that "both sides of the [political] aisle have been very strong on defending the defenseless." COMMENTARY The Revolt of the Pampered By Patrick J. Buchanan All of Europe also seems to be slashing defense budgets to save as much as they can of their welfare states. Which raises questions we debt-swamped Americans cannot put off forever. Why, 65 years after World War II, are we still defending these nations? When Europe has more wealth, more people and a more lavish welfare state than we do, why should we impose sacrifices on our people to pay for the privilege of defending her people?  Parents vs. 'Public Health' By L. Brent Bozell III Why does it seem at times that our government and "public health" advocates think parents are a social problem? Parents at Hardy Middle School in the affluent Glover Park neighborhood in Washington, D.C., were shocked to discover that a sex-and-drug-use survey had been distributed to 12-year-olds in their physical education classes without any warnings or consent forms sent to parents. The very first question was, "What is your gender?" What of parents' moral objections? The Hardy Middle School response was simple: Drop dead. Public Enemy No. 1: GOP Donors By Michelle Malkin The White House attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce isn't about "disclosure." It's about disarmament. While posing as campaign finance champions, the ultimate goal of the Democratic offensive is to intimidate conservative donors, chill political free speech and drain Republican coffers.

Denying License Plates to Illegals, Too
By David North
CIS Memorandum, October 6,2010
http://www.cis.org/LicensePlates-IllegalImmigrants
Excerpt: The central problem is that literally millions of illegal aliens live in states where they can get license plates on their cars without having to produce a driver's license; Texas and Massachusetts are perfect examples. Now that reformers in the various states have made serious progress on the issue of driver's licenses, it is time for them to focus on plates as well.

Police must share information on criminal immigrants
By Jessica Vaughan
MetroWest Daily News (Mass.), October 7,2010
http://www.cis.org/node/2317
Excerpt: Last year, a persistent detective in Weymouth finally put a stop to illegal alien drug dealer Pascual Bernabel-Soto's latest four-year crime spree in the Boston area. To do so, the detective had to sort through Bernabel's nine aliases, four Social Security numbers and four dates of birth. His investigation also turned up a prior conviction for attempted murder in Puerto Rico, and the fact that Bernabel had been deported from the country twice before. The detective could then alert ICE, the federal immigration law enforcement agency, which promptly deported Bernabel back to the Dominican Republic earlier this year, after he served his sentence.

It shouldn't be so hard for Massachusetts law enforcement officers to figure out when a criminal they have in custody is also a foreign national who is subject to removal from the country. Similarly, ICE shouldn't have to station agents in every jail to interview everyone arrested to see if they might be illegal aliens.

Why Can't Immigration Statistics Be More Like Baseball Statistics?
By David North
CIS Blog, October 12, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/baseball-vs-immigration-statistics
Excerpt: As the World Series approaches, let's ask a question: what if the Baseball Commissioner and all the team owners decided to 'streamline' the baseball statistics that they had previously provided to the fans.

What if, in order to save money, they fired the score keepers and shut down the scoreboards in the parks, keeping track of only the runs scored, and games won or lost? What if box scores disappeared from the newspapers?

Another Reverse Nixon: Obama's Heath-Care-Benefits-for-Illegal-Immigrants-Maneuver
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 11, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/another-reverse-nixon
Excerpt: Watch we do, not what we say, John Mitchell famously said as the Nixon administration set out to further the cause of African American civil rights in the South and elsewhere with its conservative rhetoric as a cover.

'Don't watch what do, but believe what we say' is the Obama administration's deceptive rhetorical strategy. Case in point: the health care coverage of illegal immigrants.

The Rest of the Story . . . JPMorgan Gets $90 Million a Year from USCIS
By David North
CIS Blog, October 11, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/jpmorgan-rest-of-the-story
Excerpt: Here's the rest of the story about JPMorgan, the U.S. government generally, and USCIS, specifically.

As I noted in an August 20 blog posting, JPMorgan received about $94.7 billion in bailout funds, some of which it has repaid. In addition, regarding the international trade in workers, it:

The Washington Post Publishes an Astounding Immigration Admission
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 11, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/astounding-admission
Excerpt: Anyone who spends much time trying to sort through the complex issues and equities associated with immigration policy becomes almost numb to the ceaseless repetition of convention narrative memes. Most illegal-immigrant narratives reflect either exculpation or empathetic explanation: Illegal immigrants are here because they do the jobs that Americans don't want to do. They are here because they only seek a better life, and who can criticize them for wanting that for themselves and their families? Illegal immigrants pay their taxes. And so on.
7.
They Love Us in Ghana, or the Visa Lottery, Yet Again
By David North
CIS Blog, October 9, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/visa-lottery-ghana
Excerpt: They really love us in Ghana, or at least that's the indications from the results of last year's Visa Lottery. (More on Ghana shortly.)

This is the program that brings 50,000 immigrant visas a year to people around the world who are: A) lucky, and B) have no family or financial ties to the U.S., and who are neither refugees nor needed workers. By definition, these are people who would not qualify in any other way to get an immigrant visas.

The Social Security/Migration Fraud That, Perhaps, Never Was
By David North
CIS Blog, October 8, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/social-security-fraud
Excerpt: It was several decades ago, I was doing some research at the southern frontier, and I was chatting with a Border Patrol Supervisor near the Rio Grande. He was relaxed and talkative, apparently between crises.

I had raised the subject of Social Security numbers and illegal aliens.

Blood on the Tracks
By Jerry Kammer
CIS Blog, October 8, 2010
http://www.cis.org/kammer/blood-on-the-tracks
Excerpt: In a chilling report on Mexico's brutal drug cartels in the current edition of The New York Review of Books, journalist Alma Guillermoprieto takes note of the criminal activities of the Zetas. That bloody organization started out in the 1990s as the muscle for the Gulf Cartel and recently branched out into extortion, holdups, and the kidnapping of Central American migrants who seek to cross Mexico by rail on their way to the United States.
10.
Univision Embraces Hispanic Victim Psychology
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 8, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/univision-victim-psychology
Excerpt: Univision is an important media and information source for many American Hispanics. It is, in its own words, 'is the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States with a powerhouse portfolio of media assets that not only inform and entertain Hispanics, but provide a vital link to their community.'And it would seem that there is some truth in the self-promotional material.

Bloggingheads.tv Debate on the DREAM Act
By Mark Krikorian
CIS Blog, October 8, 2010
http://www.cis.org/Krikorian/BloggingheadsTV-DREAMAct
Excerpt: Yesterday I participated in a Bloggingheads.tv debate with Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK. We debated the DREAM Act and other general immigration issues. View the video below.

The Political Context of Enforcement
By Jerry Kammer
CIS Blog, October 7, 2010
http://www.cis.org/kammer/political-context-of-enforcement
Excerpt: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday announced record numbers deportations of criminal aliens, declaring that the figures demonstrated that the Obama administration is 'focused on enforcing our immigration laws in a smart, effective manner that prioritizes public safety and national security.'
13.
What If? Some Unasked Questions about Immigration Reform
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 7, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/what-if
Excerpt: What if the government developed and mandated tools for workplace enforcement of our immigration laws? What if we carefully evaluated the results?

Wouldn't serious workplace enforcement of existing immigration laws would cut off one of the chief benefits and economic supports for those who are choosing to violate American immigration laws. What then?
14.
The Naturalization Process and College Reunions: A Metaphor
By David North
CIS Blog, October 7, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/naturalizations-and-reunions
Excerpt: The people who have naturalized in the U.S. in the last decade are less well educated, and earn less in constant dollars than those who went through that process 20 years earlier – and there are far more of them.

That's the sobering news that can be seen in a recent publication of the DHS Office of Immigration Statistics; it is entitled 'Characteristics of Persons Naturalizing in the United States Between 1980 and 2008' and was written by James Lee.
15.
Obama's Immigration Dilemma
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 7, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/obamas-immigration-dilemma
Excerpt: President Obama is caught in an immigration dilemma. He has long favored a 'pathway to citizenship' and legalization of the 11-12 million undocumented immigrants now living in the United States. However, the public is ambivalent about legalizations programs and has made it very clear that they want the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States dramatically reduced, if not substantially eliminated.

Immigration Audits and the Politics of Appearance
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 6, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/audits
Excerpt: When Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano spoke on administration immigration policy before the liberal think tank Center for American Progress on November 13, 2009, she touted the administration's commitment to 'serious and effective enforcement.'
17.
But We Like Our Criminals! Or, It Depends What the Meaning of 'Patchwork' Is
By Jessica Vaughan
CIS Blog, October 6, 2010
http://www.cis.org/vaughan/secure-communities-opt-out
Excerpt: The most accurate indication of how well an immigration law enforcement program works is not ICE statistics, nor management school-inspired metrics, but the volume and tone of the ethnic and civil liberties advocacy groups' opposition to the program.
18.
ICE Denies Data to University Clearinghouse
By David North
CIS Blog, October 6, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/trac-denied-data
Excerpt: ICE has denied a range of data on immigration enforcement – data previously available – to a Syracuse University online clearinghouse.
According to a statement from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), ICE has refused to release anonymous statistical data on arrest location, the nature of the criminal charge, and the detention facility where the alien is being sent.
19.
Department of Unhelpful Immigration Metaphors (4): 'Pathway to Citizenship'
By Stanley Renshon
CIS Blog, October 5, 2010
http://www.cis.org/renshon/unhelpful-metaphors-4
Excerpt: Among the hardiest of metaphorical clichés in immigration debates is the need to create a 'pathway to citizenship.' This concept is almost exclusively used in connection with efforts to legalize the status of some 11-12 million documented immigrants.

Along with being among the hardiest, it is also the most anemic and least evocative of unhelpful immigration metaphors. That is one reason why it is almost always found in the company of qualifying adjectives.
20.
Restrictionists Meet with Population and Environmental Activists in D.C.
By David North
CIS Blog, October 5, 2010
http://www.cis.org/north/population-environment-meeting
Excerpt: Can restrictionists look to the population movement to help hold down immigration? How about to environmentalists?

I spent yesterday at a stimulating conference in Washington of migration, population, and environmental activists sponsored by the Population Media Center. My impression was that many of the population people were sympathetic to immigration limits, and the environmentalists were rather less so.

Author Cites Migrant Abuse as Symptom of a Failing State
By Jerry Kammer
CIS Blog, October 5, 2010
http://www.cis.org/kammer/failed-state-ortega-sanchez
Excerpt: The author of a new book that warns of threats to Mexico's governability says the deterioration of state power reflects the growing influence of long-established criminal organizations that are widening their activities.

'It seems to me that we have arrived at this point, first because of the corruption that has existed for many years, and the tolerance for these criminal organizations to initially traffic in drugs and then to begin with other criminal ventures, such as extortion, kidnapping, piracy, human trafficking, prostitution, etc.,' Jose Antonio Ortega Sanchez said in an interview with the Mexican newspaper Reforma.

2010 - Congress Likely To Expand Secret Cap & Tax Scheme

Remember in November:  The Congressman or Senator you vote for on Nov. 2nd can, during o'who?'s "lame duck" session, vote to expand "Cap'n Tax", allow the Bush Tax Cuts to expire, expand o'scamcare and rush through any of their agenda.  Vote Nov. 2nd - Vote Right! -- rfh 

P.S.  About this "Cap'n Tax" ...search the Internet and read about the "Chicago Climate Exchange" and you'll learn about who'll profit from your hard earned money!  o'tax'n spend is hoping for change$ alright ...all of your change!  So he can syphon it off to 3rd world countries taking 'a cut' as the "middle man" on each and every transaction!

From: Socialism Alerts Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010Subject: Congress Likely To Expand Secret Cap & Tax Scheme

Congress Likely To Expand Secret Cap & Tax Scheme

ALERT: When Congress reconvenes they could force to an expansion of RGGI, a stealth "global warming" taxing entity. Right now, the secret climate tax scam is slapping 10 states with fat energy tax hikes. Thanks to the tsunami of tax dollars, RGGI CEO Jonathan Schrag is living in a multi-million dollar home in Manhattan. If Congress votes to expand RGGI into every state, Americans can count on paying for an enormous salary increase for Schrag. Schrag is just a cog in the wheel of the Obama tax tax tax machine. Our spinmaster-in-chief has used his favor trading to make sure all his buddies are protecting the RGGI scheme.

RGGI is a liberal money vacuum that operates under the guise of a greenhouse gas cap and trade regulating entity. So far, this liberal Ponzi scheme has expanded into 10 Northeast states. RGGI was created to help combat "global warming." Apparently the environmental extremists haven't been watching the news. Global warming is not real. Scientists have admitted to doctoring the data. I think it's time for RGGI to do some explaining.

RGGI slaps consumers and businesses with huge penalities if they don't comply. Each state is limited on their carbon emissions. If a state exceeds their allocated limit they are forced to "buy" more permits. A permit is really just another tax. The cooperative between 10 Northeast states and Mid-AtlanticStates have promised reduce their "carbon footprint" by 10% in 8 years.

If RGGI was a private business a lot more people would be after them besides the Better Business Bureau. RGGI's business model is completely illegal. Because they control how much each state is capped, they can rig the numbers to be whatever they want. In order to rake in the dough, RGGI has purposely given each state low numbers that so they will be forced to buy more "permits."

States Paying RGGI Through The Nose:

• New Jersey
  
• Maine
  
• Connecticut
  
• Delaware

States Soon To Be Paying RGGI Through The Nose: The Rest Of America Obama Crony Behind RGGI Corruption It comes to no surprise that the brainchild behind RGGI was Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator, Lisa Jackson. In an eerie coincidence, Jackson served as New Jersey Environmental Commissioner under uber-liberal former governor John Corzine. Ethics challenged Corzine gave his paramour, Karla Katz $2 million dollars. Katz just "happened" to be the head of the largest organization of New Jersey state workers. I wonder if Lisa Jackson just "happened" to become the EPA administrator. The arrangement between RGGI, Jackson and Corzine smells fishy. Another buddy of Obama's is also cashing in on the global warming alarmism. The Center For Climate Strategies (CCS) has been pulling strings for the RGGI and global warming racket for years. CCS has an extensive record of bypassing state legislatures and strong-arming green initiatives. CCS's Chicago-style politics shouldn't be surprising. I could imagine Obama taking notes with the CCS big wigs on how to cheat the system. Big-Government Bureaucrats Make Big Bucks From "Global Warming"   The Beltway bandits always seem to know how to make a quick buck. RGGI Chief, Jonathan Schrag is a life you and I can only dream of. A few months ago, Schrag and his wife Kristen purchased a $2.2 million dollar loft in Manhattan. Keep in mind, this is still the Recession. Schrag's fancy new condo is 2,000 square feet and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. He must be getting a good return on investing our tax dollars. Schrag's luxurious residence is only a five block walk to the RGGI headquarters. I guess he didn't want to risk creating a carbon foot print by driving to work. Obama's friends seem to think we are their personal ATM card. Enough is enough. Schrag is paid to keep secrets. He has refused to disclose how much money he makes and the salaries of his employees. Schrag told New Jersey Watch Dog to get lost when they asked him to disclose RGGI's records. In the most recent public disclosure requests from the IRS Schrag declined to reveal how much everyone is paid in the organization. Most companies have to reveal to the IRS the salaries of their employees. RGGI is given special treatment because our government is backing their scheme. THIS IS A FIGHT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. YOUR FUTURE IS AT STAKE AND ALSO THE FUTURE OF YOUR FAMILY.

2010/2012 - Indian Wanting Coffee: Vote'm All Out (Remember in November)

From: baja Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010

Indian Wanting Coffee:
An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other hand.
He says to the waiter: "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Sure, Chief. Coming right up."
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.....
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp,
Turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun,
Causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
Another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to The waiter: "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto!
We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.  What was all that about, anyway?"
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
"Training for position in United States Congress.
Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for Others to clean up, Disappear for rest of day."
ON NOVEMBER 2nd, VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE!

o'amnesty - border war: Do Mexican Drug Cartels Pose A Bigger Threat Than The Taliban?

From: baja  Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 Subject: Do Mexican Drug Cartels Pose A Bigger Threat Than The Taliban?

Do Mexican Drug Cartels Pose A Bigger Threat Than The Taliban? Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:00 AM PDT      Mexican drug cartels are like a malignant cancer that keeps on spreading.  Mexico has spent billions of dollars on its drug war to combat the power and influence of the cartels, but when you look at the statistics it seems as if little progress has been made.  Considering the dramatic impact cartels have on the United Sates, America should consider if securing our border is as important to our national security as is the war we are fighting in Afghanistan.      Mexico's war on drugs has been ongoing since 2006, but the problem keeps getting bigger each year.  So does the body count!  Since Mexican President Felipe Calderon launched his campaign to crackdown on the drug cartels, nearly 28,000 people have been killed.  Here is the breakdown according to Wikipedia sources: -          62 killed in 2006 -          2837 killed in 2007 -          6844 killed in 2008 -          9635 killed in 2009 -          8152 killed in 2010 -          Total killed: 27,530 (December 2006�September 2010)      That is a staggering number, yet it has received very little mainstream media attention.  Compare that to the war in Afghanistan which has cost a little over 1100 American lives (and 4400 lives in the Iraq war).  To make matters more concerning, Mexico's Intelligence agency director, Guillermo Valdes, claims that some 84,000 weapons and $411 million U.S. dollars have been confiscated in the same time frame.      Most of the casualties in the drug war have been cartel members.  In an effort to expand their influence and trade routes, they are constantly battling each other over territory.  However, with their ample supply of money and a deadly cache of weapons, targeting outsiders to flex their muscles is hardly a concern.  Here are just a few examples: -          The Los Zetas cartel is responsible for murdering 72 unarmed immigrants from Central America when they refused to go along with the gang's extortion scheme. -          An 18 year old University of Texas student was killed when the bus he was on was hijacked by cartel members. -          Mayor Gustavo Sanchez was the cartel's most recently government official victim, making the fifth mayor to be murdered. -          Two journalists were gunned down, sparking the newspaper to plea for a compromise in coverage for a truce.      Is that a problem America wants to see worsen in our neighboring country?    Cartels may not be aggressively targeting Americans, but states that border Mexico like Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas are absolutely feeling the spillover effects of this out of control problem.  That is not hard to understand when you look at the Mexican states with the most violence (most severe in red):      The cartel problem in Mexico is primarily Mexico's fault.  They refuse American help and allow cartels to run freely on their side of the border.  As Bill O'Reilly suggested, perhaps they believe a death toll of 28000 people is acceptable, but in America that is intolerable!       America must do everything it can to prevent this cancer from continuing to spread on our side of the border while it is still containable.      The United States is spending nearly $6 billion per month on the Afghanistan war effort, which seems to be falling further and further from something that Americans can considerer victory.  I certainly am not advocating a pullout in Afghanistan.  That would cause a substantial power void leaving our enemies emboldened and the opportunity to rearm.  But if a distant war against an enemy bent on our destruction is important enough to spend billions of dollars to fight, is securing our southern border and fighting the deadly organizations that operate openly on both sides not equally as important?       Which of these enemies impose a more immediate threat to America?      Those questions are the questions Washington refuses to take seriously.  Whenever solutions are presented to secure the border, it is always wrapped in a political cloud.  While Washington plays political games with a serious problem, America becomes increasingly less safe.  God help us if they wait until a terrorist takes advantage of our weakness while our country's leaders squabble over trivial matters.  The blood may be on their hands, but whose blood will it be that is spilt?

obamanomics - charts: Who Got Stimulated!

From: piloto Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. 

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:    (below)  

      
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, Unless each of us sends it on.
