Thank You, America!

Well, the Americans have spoken, and the message to the new Congress is loud and clear: Just Say No!

On that vein, read the latest column by Michelle Malkin, where she basically recommends that we tell the Democrats "Take the olive brunch and shove it."

Meanwhile, an interesting development for the Congressional Black Caucus.  “Racist” America elected three additional black congressmen.  Two of them, Tim Scott of South Carolina and Allen West of Florida, are Republicans who won with the support of the “racist” Tea Party.  How will their Democrat black counterparts receive them?  Let’s wait and see. 

Latinos Support Arizona's Law

Watching the news on mainstream media TV, one would have to believe that the legislation in Arizona that gives police, under very specific situations, the right to check for immigration status, represents the end of American democracy. I found it so hypocritical that politicians who have voted to add 6,000 agents to the IRS, or approved a most intrusive census questionnaire, and healthcare bill, have the chutzpah to talk about civil rights violations. Furthermore, reports of demonstrations kept showing the same few hundreds malcontents, with the typical clichés provided by America haters. Reporters kept talking about “immigrants” as if they are the victims of this legislation. Since when are people that violate the law coming into our country, immigrants? They are illegal. Meaning, people who broke the law.

And Mexico, with its restrictive immigration laws, corrupt police and thieving politicians, keeps lecturing us and warns their citizens not to come to vist Arizona.  Wow.  This is scary.  But I don't think Arizonans are too worried about thousands of Mexican "visitors" not jumping the fence.

Well, here is a memo to liberals: The majority of Arizonan support the Arizona legislation, do too. The "other' category which in Arizona is made up mostly of Latinos aproves by 53%. .  Blacks, who normally follow Obama like lemmings jumping off a cliff, approve by a margin of 50%.

Here is a new Rasmussen poll with the data:

Here is some more interesting data about Mexico and their immigration laws as reported by Michelle Malkin:

– The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?

– If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.

– Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).

– Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.

– Ready to show your papers? Mexico’s National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

Since the iPad is in the news, we have this video on the impact it has had on cats.

The great Placido Domingo was diagnosed with cancer. This citizen of the world, who could have selected any place in the world for his surgery, chose the good ole’ USA. He was successfully operated in New York by greedy doctors, in a greedy hospital. The same type of surgery that saved Mr. Domingo’s life is performed in this hospital routinely on patients on Medicaid or Medicare.

"The second way government assistance programs contribute to long-term unemployment is by providing an incentive, and the means, not to work. Each unemployed person has a 'reservation wage'—the minimum wage he or she insists on getting before accepting a job. Unemployment insurance and other social assistance programs increase [the] reservation wage, causing an unemployed person to remain unemployed longer."

Henry “KGB” Waxman, folded like a cheap camera and cancelled the hearings he had scheduled to crucify CEO’s of large corporations, who complying with the law announced how much Obamacare was going to cost them.

We all heard in the news when Waxman and Stupack stood up to the “greedy” corporations, but the mainstream media greeted the cancellation mostly with silence. They seemed reluctant to report that:

An April 14 memorandum from the Committee on Energy and Commerce Majority Staff informed the Democratic hounds that the "companies acted properly and in accordance with accounting standards in submitting filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission in March and April." Indeed, after haggling about the overall impact of the health care mandate on firms' annual company cash flows, the staff memo acknowledged that notifying shareholders of these big one-time company write-downs was "required" by law.

Charles Krauthammer has an excellent article concerning Obama’s posturing on nuclear issues. Obama’s last meeting with heads of states from forty-seven countries has saved us from ever being nuked by Canada, Mexico or the Ukraine. Iran and North Korea did not participate. They must be terrified of Obama. He might bloviate them to death.

Something to read over the weekend...

Charles Krauthammer has written a fantastic analysis of the way the redistributionists are fighting to achieve what socialism failed to do. Using the new religious fervor of environmentalists, the left is slowly but surly moving towards the destruction of our economic system. No beards, or guerrillas, no fighting in the jungle, no demonstrations. The new radicals are wearing suits and ties, are clean cut and use their connections among the "intellectual elites" to move in the direction of a world bureaucracy running every aspect of our lives.

Having been involved in the field of education, I am aware of attempts by all kind of organizations to infuse their ideologies into the classroom. The motto for many of those ideologues could have easily been "Brainwashing is Fundamental." As a supervisor I usually took the magazines, posters and videos I received in the mail and threw them in garbage. Videos I not only threw away, but made sure that they were destroyed prior to their disposal. Teachers are always looking for a "day off" when they can just sit in the back of the room and show a movie, regardless of content or quality.

Well, now Michelle Malkin reports about a project between Hollywood and Marxist propagandist Howard Zinn that will be shown on the History Channel based on his "A People's History of the United States." The first victim of this documentary will be the truth.

I have no doubt that thousands of teachers will record this program and show it to millions of children. The process of brainwashing and indoctrination is starting earlier and earlier; and we the taxpayers are paying for it. The process will culminate in college, where parents will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that their children are educated to despise what our forefathers worked so hard to achieve.
