Made in USA: Enlightening (Save your $ and help the American companies too.)

From: jimmy Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 Subject: MADE IN USA: ENLIGHTENING

     Costco sells  Goodyear wiper blades for almost half the price that you  will pay on the outside and they are made in the USA- Very  Encouraging
Unfortunately our politicians and top CEO's have pushed for trade to china and mexico for years so Americans are now out of work.

    Did you know that there is no electric coffee maker made in the US and that the only kitchen appliances made in the US is Viking? 
    This information came from a report made byDiane  Sawyer.  Hopefully this has changed or will soon!!
    I DIDN'T KNOW  HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA! That is also why I don't buy  cards at Hallmark anymore, They are made in China and are more  expensive! I buy them at Dollar Tree - 50 cents each and made in  USA
     I have been looking  at the blenders available on the Internet. Kitchen Aid is MADE IN  the US. Top of my list already.

     Yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking for a wastebasket. I found some made in China  for $6.99. I didn't want to pay that much so I asked the lady if  they had any others. She took me to another department and  they had some at $2.50 made in USA. They are just as good. Same as a  kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in the  USA - what a concept! - and they were $3.00 cheaper. 
    We are being brainwashed to believe that everything that comes from China and Mexico is cheaper. Not so.  One Light Bulb at a time..

    I was in Lowe's the other day and just out of curiosity, I looked at the hose attachments. They were all made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA.
     Start looking, people . . ...In our current  economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone  else - most often, their job.
    My grandson likes Hershey's  candy. I noticed, though, that it is now marked "made in  Mexico." I don't buy it anymore.
    My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico...now I have switched to Crest.
    You have to read the labels on everything.

    This past weekend I was at Kroger . . . I needed 60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy -- was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared them: they were the same except for the price . . .the GE bulbs cost more than the Everyday Value brand, but the thing that surprised me the most was that that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - you guessed it - the USA at a company in Cleveland, Ohio
    It's Way past time to start finding and buying products you use every day that are made right here.
    So, on to the next aisle: Bounce Dryer Sheets... yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Value brand was less, and was MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years, at almost half the price.
    My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may  be your own or your neighbor's!
    If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, Stop buying from overseas companies - you're sending the jobs there. (We should have awakened a decade ago....)
    Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in theUSA.
    Support the products that are " Made in the  USA"

tit for tat - Cal Thomas/Bob Beckel: The Obama Presidency (USA Today, We.13Jun12)

Cal Thomas is a conservative columnist. Bob Beckel is a liberal Democratic strategist. But as longtime friends, they can often find common ground on issues that lawmakers in Washington cannot.

USA Today: Has the Obama presidency failed?

By Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel, USA Today, We.13Jun2

article source: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/story/2012-06-14/obama-failed-presidency-election-romney/55585170/1?csp=obinsite

Cal: No one knows the exact moment when a presidency fails because it usually isn't just one moment, but a collection of moments. President Obama is racking up a series of "moments," key among them his out of touch claim that the private sector is "doing just fine." Despite the spin and wishful thinking by those who support him, those moments may doom him to a single term.

Bob: They may, but I have my doubts. There are still five months until Election Day, and that is a lifetime in today's 24-hour news cycle politics. That is plenty of time for President Obama to get some good news for a change, but more important it gives voters, many for the first time, a chance to take a hard look at Mitt Romney. I'm betting they are not going to like what they see.

Cal: So, that's the plan. Never mind the president's record; demonize Romney. Not exactly the "new tone" the president promised four years ago.

Bob: He tried, but the Republicans wouldn't meet him halfway.

Cal: In February 2009, the president told Matt Lauer of NBC's Today show that if the economy did not recover in three years, his presidency would be a "one-term proposition." Unemployment numbers, the stock market and other economic signals are pointing in the wrong direction. I doubt any of these will head upward by November. According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, just 31% believe the country is headed in the "right direction." Unless the president performs the miracle so many of his supporters thought he was capable of four years ago, he won't win a second term and you'll have to get used to saying "President Romney."

Bob: First of all, the economy is in much better shape today then when Obama was sworn into office. Second, the numbers you refer to are simply a snapshot of a week in the spring of the year. The stock market has been way up during President Obama's first term, and what you are seeing is a slight pullback. Unemployment is down two full points since the worst of the recession, and millions of new jobs have been created since the first stimulus checks hit the economy in late spring of 2009. Are we better off than since then? Absolutely. The 800,000 Americans who landed new jobs this year sure think so.

Cal: Tell that to the jobless. At least 14 prominent Democrats have separated themselves from the president's attacks on Bain Capital. In addition to Newark Mayor Cory Booker's defense of private equity, former president Bill Clinton said Romney "had a sterling business career." And Bob Shrum, who ran John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign, said: "I think we ought to just face reality here. (If) you just let this be a referendum, I don't think the president could win." Taken together, these moments signal that many prominent Democrats see the potential for losing the White House.

Bob: You conservatives are spinning this to make it appear Democrats are abandoning the president when nothing could be further from the truth. Bill Clinton has depended on private equity firms like Bain for his campaign money, his charities and for his own income. Cory Booker needs private equity groups to help his Newark renewal programs, and he has gotten it. Shrum may be right that the president might lose a referendum today, but the November election is not a referendum. It is a contest between Obama and Romney, which I believe Obama will win.

Cal: Most people would agree that Jimmy Carter's presidency was less than successful, to put it charitably. You were part of that administration. Was there a point when you and your colleagues thought, "Oh-oh, things aren't going well; we could lose this thing"?

Bob: Of course. The Arabs had cut off our oil supplies, interest rates skyrocketed, Ted Kennedy launched a primary campaign against us, and the Iranians had kidnapped 52 of our citizens. You think all that didn't make for a few sleepless nights? But I can tell you this — No one panicked, especially the president. Despite all that, the race was tight right up to the election for one very important reason that Mitt Romney will learn: Incumbent presidents are very tough to beat, and Barack Obama is in a far stronger position today than Jimmy Carter was then.

Cal: There are turning points in every presidency when voters have rendered a verdict, usually before Election Day, about whether a president deserves re-election. For Lyndon Johnson, it was the hated Vietnam War. For Richard Nixon, it was Watergate. Had the full force of that scandal broken before the 1972 election, Nixon might have not won a second term. George H.W. Bush broke his "no new taxes" pledge and doomed his re-election chance. Would you agree that the markers for a failed Democratic presidency are different from a Republican one?

Bob: I don't think Nixon would have had a prayer if Watergate broke in full before the election. Johnson declined to run in 1968, but if he had, he would have easily beaten Nixon. Even so, a wounded Hubert Humphrey almost beat Nixon. To your larger point about the press, I don't think markers are different for Democrats than Republicans simply because the things that bring down presidents are big events, and these will dominate the news and the course of a presidency no matter who is in the White House.

Cal: I have been traveling in Europe and am astounded at how the president's popularity has faded, in some cases faster than in America. Recall the reception he received in Berlin during the campaign. This week there is this from the German publicationSpiegel Online International: "Germans were ecstatic when Barack Obama took over the keys to the White House from George W. Bush. Now, though, a new Pew Research Center survey shows disillusionment with the U.S. president is widespread in Germany and that Obama has not lived up to the high expectations Europeans had of him." What's next, a request that his unearned Nobel Peace Prize be returned?

Bob: Shiny medals and European votes don't matter much in our elections. What looked like Obama's popularity in Europe was really relief that Bush was on his way out. Today, Europeans aren't thinking much about U.S. presidents as they deal with their own economic problems. Obama is delivering on his promise to wind down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Europeans' biggest complaint about the previous administration.

Cal: The Wisconsin recall election last week on Gov. Scott Walker sent two strong signals. One was that the unions no longer exert the power they once did. The second and possibly more important message was what can happen when Republicans stand by their principles and sell them with conviction to voters. National Republicans could learn a lot from Walker's example.

Bob: You're exactly right. Voters are looking for leaders with conviction, but Romney can't sell that. His list of "evolved" positions is almost as long as his list of positions. Most notably, as the Supreme Court is about to rule on the Affordable Care Act, Romney was for the individual mandate, which other Republicans now hate so much, before he joined the crowd and was against it. Romney took so long to wrap up the nomination because the party's base is confused about which of Romney's principles are genuine and which are window dressing.

Cal: Romney does have plenty of work to do in convincing conservatives that his conversions on a few issues are the real deal. And, sure, that complicates his run. But the closer we get to November, the more the focus will be on Obama's present policy failings and not on the past nuances of Romney's political views. I don't like to see any president fail. A failed presidency emboldens our enemies and no one, regardless of their political beliefs, should want that to happen.

Bob: I couldn't agree more. Failed presidencies have usually meant our country was in serious trouble, but this one has not failed … yet."

"It's time for Bush to step aside"

From: lc Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 Subject: "It's time for Bush to step aside"

Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes "Greener Pastures" for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more liberal papers in the country.  Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat...so this is rather a stunning piece...

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises! 

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first term in office:

     Largest budget ever.  Largest deficit ever.  Largest number of broken promises ever.  Most self-serving speeches ever.  Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever!

     Wow!  Talk about change.
     Just over two years ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high.  After one of the nation's most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America's first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions.  To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.
     Of course, they don't see it as self-imposed.  It's all George Bush's fault!
     George Bush, who doesn't have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies The White House, is to blame for it all.
     He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.
     He broke Obama's promise, to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
     He broke Obama's promise, to end earmarks.
     He broke Obama's promise, to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.
     He broke Obama's promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.
      He broke Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America 's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.
      He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.
      He broke Obama's promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.
      He broke Obama's promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closed
White House meetings.
      He broke Obama's promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.
      He broke Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter.
      Yes, it's all George Bush's fault!  President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration.  If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved.  His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel.  North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.
      Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks?  There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana).
      If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by now.
      All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress.  It's all George Bush's fault !
      Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president's attorney general, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City.  Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.
      Two disastrous decisions.
      Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush!
      Need more proof?
           You might recall when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing "The Ted Kennedy Seat", President Obama said, Brown's victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008.  People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.
      Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts, was George Bush's fault.
      Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats.  It is all George Bush's fault!  Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and and change ever arrive?          

     Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something / anything?
      (Chuck Green is a veteran Colorado journalist and former editor-in-chief of The Denver Post.)

Border Patrol group calls for Holder's resignation

By Jerry Seper, The Washington Times, Mo.18Jun12

article source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/18/border-patrol-group-calls-holders-resignation/

Photo: Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry (Associated Press) 

     The National Border Patrol Council, which represents all 17,000 of the agency's non-supervisory agents, called for the resignation Monday of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. for his role in the botched "Fast and Furious" gunrunning operation that resulted in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
     Council President George E. McCubbin III, a 25-year Border Patrol veteran himself, described Mr. Holder's actions in the case as "a slap in the face to all Border Patrol agents who serve this country," adding that the attorney general has shown "an utter failure of leadership at the highest levels of government."
     Two semi-automatic AK-47 assault weapons found at the scene of the Dec. 15, 2010, killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry were traced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to "straw buyers" who bought the weapons as part of the Fast and Furious investigation.
     Agent Terry died during a gunfight with heavily armed Mexican bandits along the U.S.-Mexico border south of Tucson. More than 2,000 weapons purchased during the ATF-led Fast and Furious operation were "walked" to drug smugglers in Mexico. More than 600 of them are still missing.
     Mr. McCubbin said Border Patrol agents are indoctrinated from day one of their training that "integrity is their most important trait … and that without it, they have little use to the agency." He said agents who lie or show a lack of candor are quickly disciplined.

     "The standard that applies to these agents should at a minimum be applied to those who lead them," Mr. McCubbin said. "If Eric Holder were a Border Patrol agent and not the attorney general, he would have long ago been found unsuitable for government employment and terminated.

     "The heroism that Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry demonstrated on that cold night in the desert of Arizona was in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Border Patrol and will never be forgotten by those who patrol this nation's borders," he said.
     Mr. McCubbin said the "political shenanigans" surrounding the Fast and Furious operation and "passing the blame" must stop.
     He noted that a Border Patrol agent cannot accidentally step foot in Mexico without myriad U.S. and Mexican government agencies being made aware, so Fast and Furious had to have been conducted with the knowledge and tacit approval of the Justice Department and the Obama administration.
     "It is time for Attorney General Holder to show the least shred of responsibility and leadership and resign his post," Mr. McCubbin said. "Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry deserves nothing less."
     Last week, Mr. Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee he had "no intention" of resigning, adding that he heard the White House press officer say the president has "absolute confidence in me."
     His defiance came after Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican and a senior Judiciary Committee member, called on him to quit, saying Mr. Holder had failed "the basic standards of political independence and accountability" in determining who knew about or approved the "walking" of guns into Mexico.
"Americans deserve an attorney general who will be honest with them," he said.
     Meanwhile, Judicial Watch, the Washington-based public watchdog group, has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against ATF seeking access to Fast and Furious records detailing communications between ATF officials and Kevin O´Reilly, former White House director of North American affairs at the National Security Council.
     The lawsuit was announced Monday by Judicial Watch spokeswoman Jill Farrell, who said CBS News reported that Fast and Furious documents released by the Obama White House in September 2011 "show extensive communications" between ATF officials and Mr. O'Reilly. She said the requested records include a flowchart showing the ultimate destinations of the Fast and Furious weapons.

     What  first lady would make remarks like this?  Probably the one who just recently was for the first time proud to be an American?  This is the result of an entitlement society and affimative action. The results are tearing away the backbone of this great nation and replacing it with ignorant trash.

Gun ownership up, crime down
FBI violent-crime rates show safer nation with more gun owners

By Emily Miller, The Washington Times, Mo.18Jun12

     Gun-control advocates are noticeably silent when crime rates decline.  Their multimillion-dollar lobbying efforts are designed to manufacture mass anxiety that every gun owner is a potential killer.  The statistics show otherwise.

     Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that violent crime decreased 4 percent in 2011.  The number of murders, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults all went down, continuing a pattern.

     "This is not a one-year anomaly, but a steady decline in the FBI's violent-crime rates," said Andrew Arulanandam, spokesman for the National Rifle Association.  "It would be disingenuous for anyone to not credit increased self-defense laws to account for this decline."

     Mr. Arulanandam pointed out that only a handful of states had concealed-carry programs 25 years ago, when the violent-crime rate peaked.  Today, 41 states either allow carrying without a permit or have "shall issue" laws that make it easy for just about any noncriminal to get a permit.  Illinois and Washington, D.C., are the only places that refuse to recognize the right to bear arms.  The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence did not respond to requests for comment.

     If the gun grabbers were right, we'd be in the middle of a crime wave, considering how many guns are on the streets.  "Firearms sales have increased substantially since right after the 2008 election,"  said Bill Brassard, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which represents the $4 billion firearms and ammunition industry. "There was a leveling off in 2010, but now we're seeing a surge again."

     The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) serves as one of the best indicators of gun sales because it counts each time someone buys a gun.  Checks hit an all-time high of 16.5 million last year.  In the first five months of this year, the numbers have gone up 10 percent over the same period last year as Americans rush to the gun store in case President Obama decides to exercise "more flexibility" in restricting guns in a second term.

     Gun manufacturing is the one private-sector industry "doing fine" on Mr. Obama's watch.  Sturm, Ruger & Co. sold 1 million firearms in the first quarter of 2012 - an amazing 50 percent increase from the first quarter of 2011.  The jump was so steep that the company stopped accepting orders from March to May to catch up with demand for its products.

     Last month, Smith & Wesson announced a firearm-order backlog of approximately $439 million by the end of April, up 135 percent from the same quarter in 2011.  Sales in that period were up 28 percent from 2011 and 14 percent over its own predictions to investors.  NSSF estimates the industry is responsible for approximately 180,000 jobs and has an annual impact on the U.S. economy of $28 billion.

     Mr. Obama could honestly take credit for this jobs program, economic boost and the reduction in violent crime that has followed the spike in gun ownership on his watch.  Instead, he's silent about his greatest positive accomplishment.

Abracadabra! 'Obama's alias' vanishing quickly from Web

Analyst confirms 'Harrison J. Bounel' identity getting scrubbed from databases

Published: 08/22/2011, article source: http://www.wnd.com/2011/08/336889/

WASHINGTON – "Harrison J. Bounel," an alias identified for Barack Obama by debt-collection and skip-trace expert Albert Hendershot, is currently being scrubbed from professional databases, the investigator reports.
"I believe Obama supporters are trying to eliminate any and all evidence of Obama's shady past from all public databases," Hendershot told WND. "It's the only explanation for why the alias 'Harrison J. Bounel' has dropped from sight in database searches on public records done for Obama's Social Security number and home address in Chicago."

Hendershot documented his analysis in a report written for WND that can be read in its entirety here.
As seen in Exhibit 1, Hendershot has put together a chart that documents how he first found the Harrison J. Bounel name appearing in databases he was using to search properties in Chicago. He has worked with WND to make a series of previously unknown disclosures about the Obama home in Chicago's upscale Kenwood neighborhood at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue.

Exhibit 1, Chart documenting discovery and disappearance of Obama alias from databases

As Exhibit 1 points out, following the discovery last March that the alias "Harrison J. Bounel" is associated with Barack Obama's Social Security number and with his Hyde Park mansion, Hendershot published his research in May on his Internet website.
Exhibit 2 documents that a Henderson database search from public records conducted March 11 resulted in two different records for Barack Obama's Social Security number: one for a "Bounel Harrison J" and the other for Barack H. Obama, identified with several variations of "Barack H. Obama" that appeared in the database.

Exhibit 2, Two records, one for "Bounel Harrison J" and one for Barack H. Obama, result from public database search conducted March 11, 2011

Exhibit 2 lists the Obama mansion address at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue as an address for both "Bounel Harrison J" and for Barack H. Obama.
Exhibit 2 also clearly shows that the Obama alias of Harrison J. Bounel was in use as of November 2009.
As seen in Exhibit 3, Hendershot was able to duplicate the results utilizing a second public database that again showed both Harrison J. Bounel and Barack H. Obama using the same Social Security number and living at the same address.

Exhibit 3, Second database shows Harrison J. Bounel and Barack H. Obama using the same Social Security number and living at the same address

Next, as seen in Exhibit 4, Hendershot did a "relatives" search on "Bounel Harrison J" and found that Michelle Obama came up as a result, again with an address history that included the Obama mansion at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue.

Exhibit 4, Search for "relatives" on Harrison J. Bounel produces records for Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama, March 11, 2011

A second database search, as seen in Exhibit 5, demonstrates that Michelle Obama shows up as a relative of Harrison J. Bounel, further confirming that "Bounel Harrison J." is an alias for Barack H. Obama.

Exhibit 5, Second database show Michelle Obama as a "relative of Harrison J. Bounel

Finally, as seen in Exhibit 6, a search completed Aug. 19 of the same database seen above in Exhibit 2 shows no record of the Harrison J. Bounel alias.

Exhibit 6, Database search conducted Aug. 19, 2011, suggests Harrison J. Bounel alias has been scrubbed

Hendershot, who has been studying for the past six months the Obama mansion purchase, has assisted WND in two previous published reports:

1. WND has previously reported that at least three people are listed as current owners and taxpayers on the Obama mansion: William Miceli, a Tony Rezko attorney and fundraiser who practices law at the Chicago law firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, the firm that employed Obama when he did legal work for Rezko; Chicago Probate Judge Jane L. Stuart; and Obama accountant Harvey Wineberg.
2. WND reported the "buffer zone" parcel at the Obama family mansion at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue, purchased by the wife of convicted felon Tony Rezko, was transferred to Barack and Michelle Obama without ever being assessed or taxed, in apparent violation of Illinois law.

WND has also reported that two private investigators working independently have asked why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.
Hendershot is president and owner of Innovative Portfolio Recovery, Inc, a debt collection and skip tracing company based in Birmingham, Ala.

   o'illegal and his puppet masters exposed themselves again for what they really are not...Americans.  His "enabling act" "grant of an amnesty path" to 800,00 to 1,000,000+ illegals is but a stepping stone to his "'living document' is outdated concept of governance."   (OBTW, Americans call that document our Constitution.) 

     The 'wanna'be der leader's "We have to have a domestic security force, just as .. strong as the military.." junta is in its formative stages (consider TSA & VIPR's expanding "Hande Hoch!" control over you.)

     Some liberal TV pundits compared his "amnesty" orders to those of Abraham Lincoln's 'emancipation declaration.'  As wiser observers have noted, President Lincoln was operating under the Congressionally approved "War Powers Act" operating under and pursuant to the Constitution. 

     This is not an argument on the merits of allowing criminals, albeit of their choosing or not, to remain in the United States.  It is not about their being eligible for tax paid benefits, school/hiring preferences, retained Mexican citizenship, invading the job market, importing/supplanting cultures, nor the sympathetic nature of liberal arguments. ...No it is not!

     What is at issue?

     Congress members' capitulation of their responsibilities both as our representatives and as defenders of our Constitution.  And, it is of no less of importance (this instance, immigration) than when he, "the little dictator", circumvented Congress on other matters ...while openly bragging that he would abrogate Congress!  There are historical precedences, for e.g. The Reichstag, 1933.

     Are United States Senators and Representatives completely neutered?  Are Governors and Attorneys General powerless?  Is our Supreme Court truly blind?  Are our Sheriff's ineffectual?

    Are you?

 As Joseph Goebbels wrote shortly after the passage of the Enabling Act:

"The authority of the Führer has now been wholly established.  
Votes are no longer taken.
  The Führer decides.

 All this is going much faster than we had dared to hope."

Obama: A domestic enemy of the U.S. Constitution

by Joseph Curl, The Washington Times, Sunday, June 17, 2012

article source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/17/curl-obama-a-domestic-enemy-of-the-us-constitution/

An excerpt from the WT article:

     "Mr. Obama is looking to shore up his support, even if that means violating his oath to protect the Constitution.  Continuing his nonstop campaign of division — black against white, rich against poor, straight against gay, religious against secular, race against race — the president is seeking to build whatever loose coalition of support he can.  Forget bipartisanship; a coalition of the middle, Mr. Obama's sole path to victory, he thinks, is to stir up so much discontent within different strata that he can win re-election.

     Of course, the liberals who whined about President George W. Bush's signing statements haven't made a peep about Mr. Obama's Napoleonic power grab.

THIS IS PURE B....S...! -- bdh

We say,  "If you  don't like it here please leave.... go find another country to disrespect."  ..  It's always so awful to see this. With Memorial Day around the corner.   Please remember who has fought and died for your rights for freedom..  We are losing it daily with a swipe of a pen..........       We must get back to values, morals, personal boundaries, how about just some manners and respect...  Who is brave enough to tell your children that this behavior is wrong..............  IN God We Trust........ Sad and Disgusting      We are not far from the end folks.  We can't take much more political correctness.  This picture was taken at the AZ state capitol .. .  The news will not show it and the Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or any of the Veterans that were there do anything about it.  My husband and his friends were threatened with arrest and were told they would be booked under federal charges if they did anything.  I am sending this to you so that you in turn can start Emailing it to everyone on your list.  It is totally uncalled for and people need to see it.  This is not about politics and rhetoric, it is about a direct threat to our country. Those of you that don't live in Arizona will maybe get a chance to see the other side of what the news is telling you.  If this offends you greatly, then I have truly accomplished what I set out to do. I understand that sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but that is the right our forefathers fought for.  I am an American before anything else.  For those of you who choose to dismiss this: If you believe that this is okay I believe you are a traitor to this country and everything it stands for.  I am not a racist and I am not a Nazi, this has nothing to do with race, it has to do with respect to the country that is continually taking you in and turning a blind eye to your agenda.  Homeland Security was designed to identify and defend America from Terrorist acts yet yesterday it let illegal and legal citizens of this country desecrate the Flag.  People were spitting on it, stomping on it and burning it with cigarettes.  One soldier who had just returned from Iraq tried to grab the flag and was thrown to the ground by the Capitol Police and Homeland Security.  It amazes me how many people will stand against the American People while prospering from our system and our government.  To those of you that will forward this to your friends I applaud you for the courage to stand up for the country in which you live.
