State mandate: Clearwater's lifeguard station needs to be handicapped-accessible
By Mike Brassfield, Times Staff Writer
Friday, July 23, 2010
CLEARWATER — Clearwater Beach's lifeguards are in great shape. Most were competitive swimmers in college. They routinely swim, run and lift weights to maintain their edge.
But government regulations are requiring that their headquarters on the beach be made handicapped-accessible, even though the only people who ever use the two-story building are the lifeguards.
Another example of your tax dollars...AND GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS.... at work. Can't these people ever apply common sense?

OBAMA IS BRANDING HIMSELF USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!
Why isn't he using the great presidential seal to promote the strength, unity and liberty of the United States of America? Instead he uses his own icon to shamelessly promote his own ideology and to imply that the ideals that made our country great are being diminished by his ideology of a new, socialistic America.
BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND DON'T BE FOOLED!
Barack Obama ran an unprecedented Presidential campaign - utilizing the power of design to help secure the seat of the President of the United States of America. However, his iconic emblem, the ever present "O", holds more power than even Obama knows. Bill Whittle points out the dangers of branding an ideology with an icon and how, perhaps, the powerful symbol will be used against the very man it built up.

Viewers Comments:
Since this vid was posted, we have seen the realization of our suspicions; a realization now manifested in the radical ideological Utopian fantasies of a dangerously naive and self-absorbed empty suit. Despite his appealing family and calm demeanor, Obama and his power-hungry party have already put our country on the path leading to diminished strength and debilitating economic weakness.The productive electorate will rise and retire this sinister demagogue and his party to a deserved ignominy.
Why not compare the O to the other two... The hammer & Sickle and the Twisted Cross? It was the same then as is happening now..massive government takeover of banks, industry, health! When a government gets big enough to give people everything, it is big enough to take it all away.

BOY...AIN'T THIS THE TRUTH?
POEM - Illegal Immigrants
I cross river, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need go see Welfare.
Welfare say, 'You come no more,
We send cash right to your door.'
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid: it keep you healthy!
By and by, Got plenty money,
Thanks to you, TAXPAYER dummy.
Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them 'come, fast as you can'
They come in buses and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks.
They come here, we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!
Fourteen families, they moving in,
But neighbor's patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
I buy his house, and then I say,
'Find more aliens for house to rent.'
In my yard I put a tent.
Send for family, they just trash,
But they, too, draw welfare cash!
Everything is very good,
Soon we own whole neighborhood.
We have hobby, it called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get free! We got no bills!
TAXPAYER crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think America darn good place!
Too darn good for white man race.
If they no like us, they can go,
Got lots of room in Mexico .

THE FINANCIAL REFORM BILL: POLITICIANS ARE THE PROBLEM
Chris Dodd, who with his fellow a-hole, Barney Frank, led the Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac debacle (and its subsequent destruction of the economy), had this to say on the Financial Reform bill which congress passed last week.
Dodd, who should be in jail for malfeasance in office, is the guy charged with the task of saving our economy from any future crisis? WHAT? I repeat: WTF! We're going to have to wait for another economic crisis to find out whether or not this financial reform bill the Democrats passed yesterday is going to work? And if it doesn't taxpayers will again have to foot the bill for Democratic travesty. And can anyone explain why car dealers who make auto loans, and the payroll loan industry were exempted? Perhaps they had stronger lobbyists!
The bill, according to inside reports, was written by career politicians, lobbyists and staff who have virtually no real world experience in business or investing and who, in many cases, are beholden to special interests. Few members of Congress read the 2,300 page bill before voting on it and fewer understand its implications.
What the hell has become of so many of our elected officials? They have become nothing more than Democrat whores and puppets of unions and lobbyists; their only priority in Washington is to get themselves re-elected, and use taxpayers dollars to do so.
Neal Boortz reported that according to a recent Gallup Poll it was found that Americans now believe that government and politicians are bigger problems for the country than illegal immigration, health care, disaster response or even the federal debt. They're right. Politicians. Government. These people are the problem .. they are not the solution, nor, for the most part, do they have the solutions. The problem is that these politicians have the executive power of government to enforce their "policies" and "solutions" on the people. And it takes a really large, huge ego to even run for office, let alone serve in Washington. So these big egos are going to use their precious government police power to implement policies that will get THEM the credit for trying to create jobs. Their egos are so overblown that they find it impossible to believe that someone else out there - an entrepreneur, a business owner, an investor - could do a better job of creating job than them .. after all, they were elected by the people to go to Washington and solve their problems! But that leads back to the Gallup poll .. these politicians are so full of themselves that they can't even realize that THEY are the problem. They are so set on being the ones to get the credit for saving this economy that they are willing to let businesses and worker suffer, just so they can say they tried. If they succeeded, that would be great. But they aren't. So move over, get out of the way and let the private sector do what the private sector does best!
I really, really feel sorry for the future of our country when so many dumbassocrat voters keep re-electing these progressive liberals to office to burden us with more legislative chains around our necks. THIS IS ANOTHER CLEAR CUT ARGUMENT FOR TERM LIMITS. Pray to God that the November election will be the first step to recovery.
.
"It is not a perfect bill; I will be the first to admit that. We don't know ultimately how well the ideas we've incorporated here will achieve the results we desire. It will take the next economic crisis, as certainly it will come, to determine whether or not the provisions of this bill will actually provide this generation or the next generation of regulators with the tools necessary to minimize the effects of that crisis when it happens."How freakin' stupid is that! That reminiscent of Nancy Pelosi's comment about ObamaCare: "We have to pass the bill in order to find out what's in it!" What's with these people? They are shackling this country with legislation that they haven't even read...nor do they understand? WTF!

Way to go Obama, punishing people for their hard work and success.
In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011:
First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011:
Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
- The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
- The 25% bracket rises to 28%
- The 28% bracket rises to 31%
- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
Higher taxes on marriage and family. The “marriage penalty” (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones.
It was reported that George Steinbrenner's estate will save about $12 million in estate taxes because he died in 2010.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.
Second Wave: Obamacare
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The “Medicine Cabinet Tax” Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).
The “Special Needs Kids Tax” This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they’ll be in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired. The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear. Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or “depreciate”) equipment purchases up to $250,000. This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. In January of 2011, all of it will have to be “depreciated.”
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the “research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.
Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed. Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual “required minimum distribution.” This ability will no longer be there.

GREAT COLUMN ON HOLDER THE HYPOCRITE
The endless hypocrisy of Eric Holder
By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON
Posted: 12:36 AM, July 15, 2010
Attorney General Eric Holder has developed a bad habit of accusing others of acting in bad faith while doing so himself.
Take the issue of Guantanamo Bay. In Aspen, Colo., last week, Holder accused Congress of playing politics in preventing President Obama from closing the Gitmo detention center -- as Obama had promised to do within a year of his inauguration. But this accusation is disingenuous for a variety of reasons.
Obama campaigned on calls to reverse the Bush administration anti-terrorism protocols, charging that they were either unnecessary or counterproductive. Then, when invested with the responsibility of governance, he reversed himself on almost all of them -- tribunals, renditions, Iraq, the Patriot Act, targeted airborne assassinations and Guantanamo Bay. Holder himself once supported the detention of terrorists without regard for the Geneva Conventions. What made him so radically change his views?
In fact, any time Obama wishes to close Gitmo, he can simply carry out his earlier executive order, as President Bush opened it without congressional approval. In blaming Congress, Holder doesn't mention the real reasons why Obama broke his promise: The American public now wants unrepentant terrorists to stay there, rather than be incarcerated and tried in civilian courts here at home.
Holder got himself into trouble last year when he played politics by announcing that the administration would try Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the architect of 9/11, in a civilian courtroom. The boast was supposed to contrast an enlightened Obama team with the demonized Bush administration's supposed lawlessness in confining Mohammed to Guantanamo. But after New Yorkers protested, Holder backed off.
Meanwhile, the president rushed to assure the nation that Mohammed would be "convicted" and have "the death penalty . . . applied to him." At that point, Bush's planned military tribunals seemed a lot less prejudicial than Holder's planned civilian show trials.
Holder's refusal to link radical Islam with the epidemic of global terrorism is likewise entirely political. When asked at a congressional hearing if radical Islamic terrorists were behind the Fort Hood killings, the attempted Christmas Day bombing and the foiled Times Square bomb attack, he refused to identify that obvious common catalyst. He cited instead a "variety of reasons." The nation's chief prosecutor wasn't looking at the evidence, but adhering to a politically correct predetermined dogma.
On matters of race, Holder castigated Americans as "a nation of cowards" for not engaging in a national conversation on his own terms. This was an odd accusation since at present we have a black president, attorney general, EPA head and NASA chief, Hispanic secretaries of Labor and the Interior, and a recent Hispanic Supreme Court appointment, not to mention that the two previous secretaries of state were black.
Yet Holder himself has used race for political purposes. He criticized Arizona for its anti-illegal-alien law -- after admitting that he hadn't read it. Then he chose to sue the state for trying to enforce unenforced federal immigration laws. Now he has promised that if that tactic fails, he'll play the race card on Arizona, alleging in yet another suit that its new legislation would entail racial profiling. Remember, the law hasn't gone into effect, so Holder has no evidence of how it will play out.
Holder dropped a voter-fraud case against the New Black Panther Party, which was caught on tape intimidating voters at a polling place. He is leveling charges of racism against those who deliberately excluded racial profiling in their legislation, while giving a free pass to those who blatantly used race to bother voters at the polls.
In just 18 months, Holder has proven to be the most political attorney general since Richard Nixon's attorney general, John Mitchell. Like the hyperpartisan Mitchell, Holder will embarrass the nation until he steps down. Given his partisan temperament and checkered record in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, his departure is not a matter of if -- only when.

Liar-in-Chief Promotes His Economic Fantasy...
...while the reality of his efforts is killing the country. WHAT A TWO-FACED HYPOCRITE!
Obama is pro-growth (of government)
Examiner Editorial
July 11, 2010
President Obama and his top officials embarked on a public relations blitz last past week evidently designed to portray him as "pro growth." All such political PR pushes tend to bear tenuous relationships with reality, but in this case the gulf between the truth and what the politicians are saying is about as wide as the Grand Canyon. Say what he will, Obama's actions since his first day in office have made clear that his business is growing government. On all three basic measures of the size of government -- work force, spending, and taxes -- Obama has stimulated tremendous growth.
Take employment. In the private sector, unemployment stays stubbornly near 10 percent. Obama promised his $859 billion stimulus program would keep private sector unemployment below 8 percent, but his failure to reverse the direction of the economy on this score has been so dismal that he is now left to plead with audiences to remember that "it could be 12, 13 or even 15 percent." The president might as well have conjectured a 20, 22 or 25 percent unemployment rate; it would still just be conjecture. What is real is that, while the jobless rate rises or falls slightly from week to week, there are 7.9 million fewer working Americans today than there were in December 2007.
The story for public sector employment, however, is quite the opposite. At 4.4 percent, the unemployment rate among government workers is almost exactly half that of the private sector. But the insulation of government workers from the market realities that private sector workers face is far from the whole story. The federal work force is expanding, not contracting, thanks to Obama initiatives like a health care program that adds 16,000 new Internal Revenue Service enforcers to ensure compliance with the individual mandate. Between December 2008 and December 2009, the federal government added nearly 100,000 new positions.
And being a government worker in the Obama era can be quite lucrative, too. According to data obtained by the Asbury Park Press via a Freedom of Information Act request, last year, 1.3 million federal employees received bonuses totaling $408 million, up $80 million over 2008. Complete data for the remaining federal workers was not available, but in 2008, the Department of Defense gave $92 million in bonuses to its 687,000 civilian employees. On the salary side, the average annual federal salary is now just under $120,000, compared with $59,909 for the private sector, according to the Census Bureau of Economic Analysis. It is cold comfort to millions of unemployed Americans to hear Obama say he is pro-growth.

What is real is that, while the jobless rate rises or falls slightly from week to week, there are 7.9 million fewer working Americans today than there were in December 2007.
The story for public sector employment, however, is quite the opposite. At 4.4 percent, the unemployment rate among government workers is almost exactly half that of the private sector. But the insulation of government workers from the market realities that private sector workers face is far from the whole story. The federal work force is expanding, not contracting, thanks to Obama initiatives like a health care program that adds 16,000 new Internal Revenue Service enforcers to ensure compliance with the individual mandate. Between December 2008 and December 2009, the federal government added nearly 100,000 new positions.
And being a government worker in the Obama era can be quite lucrative, too. According to data obtained by the Asbury Park Press via a Freedom of Information Act request, last year, 1.3 million federal employees received bonuses totaling $408 million, up $80 million over 2008. Complete data for the remaining federal workers was not available, but in 2008, the Department of Defense gave $92 million in bonuses to its 687,000 civilian employees. On the salary side, the average annual federal salary is now just under $120,000, compared with $59,909 for the private sector, according to the Census Bureau of Economic Analysis. It is cold comfort to millions of unemployed Americans to hear Obama say he is pro-growth.

Obama: Socialist, Liar and now...Egomaniac-in-Chief
Charles Krauthammer, the syndicated columnist based in Washington, commented recently on the "Egomaniac-in-Chief." He pointed out how Obama habitually refers to Cabinet members and other high government officials as "my" — "my secretary of homeland security," "my national security team," "my ambassador." The more normal — and respectful — usage is to say "the," as in "the secretary of state." These are, after all, public officials sworn to serve the nation and the Constitution — not just the man who appointed them.
It's a stylistic detail, but quite revealing of Obama's exalted view of himself. Not surprising, perhaps, in a man whose major achievement before acceding to the presidency was writing two biographies — both about himself.
Obama is not the first president with a large streak of narcissism. But the others had equally expansive feelings about their country. Obama's modesty about America would be more understandable if he treated himself with the same reserve. What is odd is to have a president so convinced of his own magnificence — yet not of his own country's.

WE NEED TO STOP THIS RELIANCE ON GOVERNMENT
Too many Americans have come to rely on government to take care of them, and government has passed the point where it cannot do so any longer.
Politicians, whose sole aim is re-election, behave like enabling parents, giving the children whatever they want hoping for "love" in return, or in this case votes. The obituary of Sen. Robert Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat, said he served more time in Congress than anyone else. That, too, is an obscenity. The Founders did not intend public service to become self-service.
The definition of "addiction" best describes our increasing reliance on government: "Complete physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance (heroin, nicotine or alcohol), characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal." Just substitute "government" for the drugs and "psychological" for "physiological" and you have characterized our addiction to government. There are toll-free hot lines for drug addicts who wish to get clean. Who do you call to break free of an addiction to government? Certainly not the politicians; they're the pushers.
This is classic co-dependency. Politicians tell people what they want to hear, and voters elect them out of a sense of entitlement to other people's money. If you are successful and resist, you are called greedy, uncaring and a Republican! This class warfare has enriched the politicians who practice it, but it is impoverishing America.
Too many expect too much from government and too little from themselves. It used to be the other way around, but concepts such as initiative, self-control, frugality, persistence, honor, integrity and virtue went out about the time baby boomers began their cultural counterinsurgency.
The reason so few jobs are being created in the private sector (the labor force is shrinking and unemployment is more than 10 percent, if those who have given up looking for work are included) is because government has grown too big and is strangling the private sector, which is uncertain about the cost of ObamaCare and tax hikes.
The progressives want more reliance on government and less self-reliance. But this is not what America needs. Republicans, should they regain a majority in Congress this fall, and the White House in 2012, must have a serious talk with their fellow countrymen. We can't go on like this. We can't keep spending and taxing. We must stop asking our country to do more for us and begin doing more for ourselves.
Is there a visionary who will say and then do such things, regardless of the political consequences? He (or she) could quote Thomas Jefferson: "To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."

RUSSIAN SPIES WERE TOO LATE ANYWAY IN TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY
The Justice Department has announced that 10 people were arrested last week for "allegedly carrying out long-term, 'deep-cover' assignments in the United States on behalf of the Russian Federation." They were blending into the suburbs of New Jersey as "average Americans to infiltrate the society of this country. But if these spies were here to destroy capitalism and install Lenin's philosophy in the U.S., they are too late. We did that with Obama's election.
With his only experience being as a "community organizer" in Chicago, much of the reality of the dangerous world we live in is lost on this president.
The world is full of people and countries who want nothing more than the total destruction of America and her way of life. Having a president who is inexperienced, weak, naive, too egotistical to know what he doesn't know, and who constantly projects a disdain for his own country to the rest of the world, is a clear and present danger for us all. We ignore it at our peril. Obama would do well to remember that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
If the Russians want to destroy America, they best hurry before this administration beats them to the punch.

OBAMA & HOLDER: RACISTS, PROMOTERS OF BLACK VIOLENCE, AND FAILURES IN OFFICE
Gee...what a sweetheart this guy, Shabazz, is. I can see why Obama and Holder wouldn't want to prosecute him. He's just your everyday neighborhood thug...not really meaning any real harm. But I think if white guys behaved like this, they would be arrested...but I dunno! Perhaps for "hate crimes?" I guess that only applies to Tea Party members.
Hey Nancy Pelosi, is this the kind of hate and violent rhetoric you were crying about?
Instead of prosecuting this guy, dickwad Holder files a lawsuit against Arizona's illegal immigration law BECAUSE IT WOULD RESULT IN RACIAL PROFILING. WTF!
Neal Boortz summarizes these unbelievable and incomprehensible actions by Obama's lackey, Holder, thusly:

Hey Nancy Pelosi, is this the kind of hate and violent rhetoric you were crying about?

Neal Boortz summarizes these unbelievable and incomprehensible actions by Obama's lackey, Holder, thusly:
"Are you believing this? First we have the absolute refusal of the Obama Administration - and the Bush Administration before it - to protect our Southern border from the Mexican invasion and to enforce our immigration laws. Then we have the State of Arizona, besieged with crime, drugs and the costs that come with being the preferred crossing point for illegals. Finally Arizona has had enough and it passes it's own immigration law. Actually, it's a bit of a stretch to call this law "Arizona's" since it does nothing but take already existing federal law and codify it at the local level. So ... Obama's reaction? Does he apologize for his inattention to the invasion? Hardly. He instructs his dog washers in the Department of Justice to file a lawsuit against Arizona. The lawsuit says that Arizona is "usurping federal authority."
Let's cogitate on this for a moment. Federal law makes it illegal to cross the border into the United States without legal authorization. The Feds refuse to enforce the law.
Mexicans invade America across the Arizona border. Crime soars in Arizona. A rancher is killed. Phoenix becomes the kidnapping center of the U.S. Drugs flood across the border with the illegals.v The Feds do virtually nothing.
Finally Arizona passes a law making what is already a crime under federal law a crime under State law.
The Arizona law gives Arizona law enforcement the authority to do what federal law enforcement officers can already do ... but aren't.
Democrats see Hispanic votes slipping away if the law is enforced.
Obama instructs a lawsuit to be filed citing "usurping federal authority."
Question: Robbing a federally insured bank is a federal crime. It's also a crime under the statutes of the State of Arizona. Should the Justice Department file a lawsuit against Arizona demanding that Arizona law enforcement officials cease enforcing Arizona's law against robbing banks because it usurps federal authority? Just wondering.
And what about this particular U.S. Justice Department? Is this the same Justice Department that dismissed charges against that white-hating member of the New Black Panther Party who has warned black males that if they ever want to be free they're going to have to kill some white people and some white babies! The New Black Panther Party member who stood in front of a polling place in Philly during the last election waving a steel baton and making threatening remarks to white voters? THAT Justice Department?
The same Justice Department that is headed by a man who pardoned terrorists who shot up the U.S. Capitol? Yup! That's the same Justice Department alright.
So .. here's the picture. The federal government is NOT going to secure our border with Mexico; at least not until amnesty for the criminal aliens who have already crossed is arranged. Votes for Democrats, you know. So while the Federal government sits on its hands Hispandering ... Arizona acts, then gets taken to court.
Welcome to ObamaWorld."

MORE PROOF OF HOW UNIONS HAVE DEMOCRATS IN THEIR HIP POCKETS
Near midnight this past Thursday, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Big Labor apologists in the U.S. House of Representatives disgracefully amended pending war funding legislation to include the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill.
And this was no accident or last-minute decision. Further, she wasn't acting on her own. It was reported that the union-label House leadership had just days before met behind closed doors with Big Labor's high command, including AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee, CWA President Larry Cohen, and IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.
Knowing the widespread opposition to their union boss power grab, the union barons demanded their allies in the House sneak the dangerous bill into a "must pass vehicle." Nancy Pelosi was happy to oblige her Big Labor masters. As you know, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been itching to ram through this bill for weeks, but outcry delayed his efforts before the Senate adjourned for Independence Day.
And now that Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining has made it through the House (albeit through desperate tactics), the battle in the Senate will be more crucial than ever. Because of the November elections time is running out for Big Labor. But as we saw this week, the union bosses will do whatever it takes to strengthen their grip on hardworking Americans.
That's why we must stay vigilant. If you haven't already, please call or fax your Senators demanding they oppose Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining. STOP THIS UNION TAKEOVER OF OUR LIVES!

HAPPY "DEPENDENCE DAY!"
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."
-----------Alexis de Tocqueville, author of Democracy in America
And that is exactly what our Liar-in-Chief is doing to us with his Stimulus Bill, TARP, Cap & Trade Plan, etc. Did you realize that only about 45% of the "emergency" stimulus fund has been spent? The rest will be used to help Dems in their re-election campaigns. THAT'S RIGHT...OUR MONEY!

AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL MEXICAN ALIENS (...err, I mean "undocumented Democrat voters")...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
On June 30th, the Liar-in-Chief gave a speech at a Town Hall Meeting in Racine, WI, during which he told so many lies that I could spend the entire 4th of July weekend refuting them. I thought to myself as he was spouting off his bullshit as to why the people sitting there...obviously ObamaZombies.. didn't get up and leave as a form of silent protest over the crap he was shoveling out. Were they that Stupid? (they must've been)
But I digress! Today I just want to focus on his promotional ideology for general amnesty and his statement that "...the borders today are safer than ever before." Oh, please! Gag me with the Peace Prize! For instance, the New York Times reports today (TODAY) that nearly two dozen people were killed in a Mexican border area on Thursday during a fierce gun battle between suspected members of rival drug gangs. KILLED! Oh yeah, the border is much safer now.
In her column today, Michelle Malkin reports that the Founding Fathers were emphatically insistent on protecting the country against indiscriminate mass immigration. They insisted on assimilation as a pre-condition, not an afterthought.
Historian John Fonte assembled their wisdom, and it bears repeating this Independence Day weekend:
George Washington, in a letter to John Adams, stated that immigrants should be absorbed into American life so that "by an intermixture with our people, they, or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures, laws: in a word soon become one people."
In a 1790 speech to Congress on the naturalization of immigrants, James Madison stated that America should welcome the immigrant who could assimilate, but exclude the immigrant who could not readily "incorporate himself into our society."
Alexander Hamilton wrote in 1802: "The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family."
Hamilton further warned that "The United States have already felt the evils of incorporating a large number of foreigners into their national mass; by promoting in different classes different predilections in favor of particular foreign nations, and antipathies against others, it has served very much to divide the community and to distract our councils. It has been often likely to compromise the interests of our own country in favor of another. The permanent effect of such a policy will be, that in times of great public danger there will be always a numerous body of men, of whom there may be just grounds of distrust; the suspicion alone will weaken the strength of the nation, but their force may be actually employed in assisting an invader."
The survival of the American republic, Hamilton maintained, depends upon "the preservation of a national spirit and a national character." "To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens the moment they put foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty."
_As pro-amnesty extremists moan that "we didn't cross the borders, the borders crossed us" and illegal alien marchers haul foreign flags above Old Glory, President Obama pretends that the "common national sentiment" our Founding Fathers embraced still binds us all together. Many of us still have faith in a strong, sovereign America -- the unhyphenated, the law-abiding, the gratitude-filled sons and daughters and grandchildren of legal immigrants for whom such distinctions still matter. But it's no thanks to the assimilation saboteurs who put "one world" over "one nation under God."
GENERAL AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL MEXICAN ALIENS (...err, I mean "undocumented Democrat voters")...ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? DOESN'T ANYBODY EVER WATCH "GANGLAND" ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL?
AND WHY ISN'T ANYONE LISTENING TO THE WISDOM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS??? I believe its because Obama and his Democratic minions are willing to sell out our country to maintain their political power over American citizens.
FIGHT BACK, AMERICA....DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!
