“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006!

Calderon tiene un par de grandes bolas!
No doubt about it, Mexican President Felipe Calderon has a pair rivaled by few.
It seems Phil is accusing the U.S. of dumping HIS criminals at the Mexican border because it’s cheaper than prosecuting them in the U.S. and causing violence in Mexican border areas.
Get a clue, Phil – they are your citizens! They were criminals and violent BEFORE they illegally entered the U.S.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said his agency deported nearly 400,000 people during the fiscal year that ended in September, the largest number of removals in the agency's history. about 55 percent of those deported had felony or misdemeanor convictions. So much for the claim that “They are just here doing those jobs us Americans don’t want to do.” You are absolutely correct, I don’t want those jobs.

The Democrat's ice cream
--From a teacher in the Nashville area:
"We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.'
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year...
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees.. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.
We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better Place.
He ended by promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded and he sat down.
Now is was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it... She didn't know.
The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream...
Jamie was forgotten.. Olivia won by a landslide.
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year olds. The other 48.6% percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

Texas High School students forced to recite Mexican National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance
Texas High School students forced to recite Mexican National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance
Last month students at Achieve Early High School in McAllen, Texas were required to recite the Mexican National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance as part of their intermediate Spanish class. Let me be clear, the school is part of a public high school; not some privately funded institution.
According to the school district it was part of a Spanish class assignment and there was nothing wrong with the lesson.
Each student stood up, wearing Mexican National colors of red, white and green and recited the Mexican anthem and pledge they had to memorize individually. Each student but one, that is. 15-year-old Brenda Brinsdon refused to participate. She also caught it all on video. Apparently Brenda wasn’t keen on being forced to wear another country’s national colors and being forced to recite that foreign country’s national anthem and pledge of allegiance. Good for Brenda.
One can only wonder if Mexico requires their students to wear red, white and blue while reciting the U.S. pledge of allegiance and U.S. national anthem.
Young Brenda correctly noted that “Reciting pledges to Mexico and being loyal to it has nothing to do with learning Spanish.” Ya think? “Why are we doing their (Mexico’s) Independence when it’s Freedom Week and it’s also Constitution Day?” Brinsdon said. Good question, Brenda. Other students (sheeple) continued to make their presentations like good little subjects. The presentations took place over the course of several days. I don’t recall any schools in the U.S. requiring this same level of participation in the course of one day – let alone several days.
A local news organization, The Blaze cited district spokesperson, Mark May as saying, “In my mind it’s no different from memorizing a poem or memorizing a passage from Shakespeare.” I’m certain May would have no problem with the students dressing up as American patriots and reciting the 2nd Amendment. I know I certainly would have no problem with it.
According to May, “It’s up to the teacher how to interpret and teach the standards.” Really? I wonder if Mark would feel the same if the teacher taught a civics class from the perspective of U.S. citizens who are here legally.
May claims, “The students came away with a better understanding of the culture, heritage and customs of a neighboring country where Spanish is the primary language.” He added that the lesson was well received by the other students and parents. By whom; the Mexicans, the teacher and Mark May? Apparently Brenda was the only one in the class who has a functioning brain and wasn’t willing to buy into the bravo sierra. I’m sure Communism was well received by party leaders in Russia, too. Those who didn’t buy into it didn’t live long. Come to think of it, those who disagree with the Mexican drug cartels don’t live long, either.
May went on to opine, “There’s always going to be people [sic] that always feel a little bit differently.” That’s true, Mark. They’re called thinkers and they are quickly chastised and vilified in your world and in the media. When they raise legitimate questions, they are accused of spreading vitriol.
Make no mistake, these kids aren’t getting an education, they’re getting indoctrination.
