This You tube video shows how a so-called educator forces her absolute reverence for Obama on her class (or else).
She has no qualms about attempting to suppress any opposition to her view that clearly demonstrates her apparent belief that God sits at the right hand of Obama's throne.
Please go to this You Tube link to hear the unbelievable exchange and her willingness to lie to her students in order to put down any lack of awe for our current occupant of the White House.
Here is the link to the story and link to the video:

Sound Familiar?
Totalitarinanism (or totalitarian rule)is a system where the state recognizes no limits to its authoriy and strives to regulate every aspect of public AND private life wherever feasable.
Totalitarian regimes stay in political power through an all-encompassing propoganda campaign; which is disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that is often marked by political repression, personality cultism and control of the economy, regulation and restriction of speech, mass surveillance and widespread use of terror.
-- author unkown but it sounds accurate. But that's just me.

Ever wonder what would happen if the Obama administration were to ignore the Constitution of the United States? You should. Did you know the U.S. Air Force just decided to authorize itself to fly drones over your home? They have also ruled that if they happen to capture a photo of you while supposedly looking for something or someone else that they can keep those photos of you. What happened to 4th Amendment? What happened to the Constitutional requirement that they have a court order or the Congressional authority to do this? Who knows; maybe this administration will declare a state of national emergency and stop the Presidential elections indefinitely. Just remember the audacity and hubris of this President.

Prosecutors: Democratic campaign treasurer embezzled at least $7 million from multiple clients
Imagine that... a Democrat embezzling money! The Democrats have been doing that for decades. The only difference is this time it was from other Democrats instead of the rest of us. You know what they say about, "No honor among theives".

Russia's Chief Negotiator overheard on hot microphone
Russia’s Chief Negotiator Makes Slip On Hot Mike
Russia’s chief negotiator, Barack Obama was caught on tape telling Russia’s President, Dmitry Medvedev that he’d have more flexibility to negotiate missile defense after he is re-elected.
A few of things come to mind for me.
a. It shows his arrogance to presume he has already been elected.
b. Why would we want to reduce our nuclear missile arsenal to 300 when the Russians have already admitted to having over 5,000? Keep in mind that doesn’t even address the ones owned by the North Koreans, China, Pakistan or the ones Iran aspires to have with the aid of the Russians.
c. Since when has being weak served as a deterrent against aggressors?
d. Am I the only one who believes Obama has done more to marginalize the U.S. in the world and make us more susceptible to attack from our enemies in three and a half years than our enemies could ever have hoped to achieve in decades?
e. Am I the only one who isn’t sure who’s side Obama is on?
f. Am I the only one who believes the Narcissistic egomaniac wannabe rock star we have for a President is seen as a joke by our enemies? And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

New York tax-payer funded group teaches how to break and enter
New York tax money teaches homeless how to break and enter apartments
Tell me again about how who isn’t paying their fair share.
Legal residents of the New York community of Arlington Village are outraged to find their tax money is going to a non-profit organization that calls itself, Picture the Homeless.
Ok, picture approximately 20 homeless folks at one of Andres Perez’s classes on how to break and enter a vacant apartment and squat. Of course in true liberal politically correct fashion he doesn’t call it squatting – it’s wresting “control” of the apartments. He calls it “homesteading” No, Andres, homesteading would imply they had something invested in the apartment, rather than just one of your courses that say, and “The best time to enter a building is in the late hours.” Or, “You make sure you have your proper tools. You remove the chains and padlock, and then you go in.”
Perez goes on to tell them about filling out a change-of-address form at the post office and setting up utilities. Gee, Andres, may I be so bold as to inquire who is going to pay for those utilities, now that you’ve used tax-payer funded money to teach these freeloaders how to break and enter?
I would surmise it would be with the same tax-payer money that funds that go to fund Picture the Homeless. You mean people who actually work for a living pay for this jerk to teach other lowlifes how to break the law? Glad you asked. In a word; YES.
In the past 5 years the liberal establishment of New York has done what liberals are so good at – Put other people’s money where their mouth is and then convince other liberals that it was somehow their money and compassion that did it. Yep, Picture the Homeless has received $240,000.00 over 5 years. For those who want to do the math that computes out to $48,000.00 per year or $4,000.00 per month of taxpayer money going to teach the non-taxpaying folks how to break the law.
Of course these non-taxpaying folks are all poor, downtrodden good people who have just fallen on hard times because of the evil Republicans like George Bush and Dick Cheney, right? Not so much.
Pete Rolon, a 64 year-old resident who has lived there for 35 years says pimps have wrested “control” (as Mr. Perez would put it) of two of the apartments. He goes on to say, “They were smoking crack. There were condoms all over the floor. There were hundreds of them.” How nice.
I’m thinking Picture the Homeless could take that $4,000.00 per month that the city of New York extorts out of honest tax payers and use it to rent or purchase an apartment building for these poor crack-dealing victims of George Bush and the Republicans (yes, I’m being facetious) and maybe even have enough left to hire a janitor to clean up the condoms from the floor. Silly me, what was I thinking? The city of New York can have tax-payer funded janitors do that.
I’m thinking that maybe they should have those fine crack-dealing pimps use their entrepreneurial talents to help support some of their fellow pieces of human debris. But that’s just me.

Understanding Unemployment -- Obama Style
Understanding Unemployment – Obama Style
The following was emailed to me:
They were one of the most popular comedy teams of the 1940’s and 1950’s.
(Today Obama and the Democrats are the comedy team.)
COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
ABBOTT: Good subject. Terrible times. It’s about 9%
COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%
COSTELLO: You just said 9%
ABBOTT: 9% unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right, 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that’s 16%
COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 16% unemployed?
ABBOTT: No, that’s 9%...
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.
COSTELLO: If you are out of work, you ARE unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, you can’t count the “out of work” as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: But… they ARE OUT OF WORK!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.
COSTELLO: WHAT POINT?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work, it wouldn’t be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work!
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work… Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. ABSOLUTELY!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work??
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how you get to 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%. You don’t want to read about 16% unemployment do ya?
COSTELLO: That would be frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they’re two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier way of the two is to just stop looking for work?
ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like an economist.
COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!
And now you know why Obama’s unemployment figures are improving.

Maxine Waters Calls Republican Leaders 'demons'
Maxine Water calls Republican leaders ‘demons’
Once, again that bastion of civility – the Liberal left has offered up a heaping helping of their brand of civility.
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters had the following to say to her state party convention attendees: “I saw pictures of Boehner and Cantor on our screens (at the convention). Don’t ever let me see again, in life, those Republicans in our hall, on our screens, talking about anything. These are demons.”
Where is the civility that the Democrats always demand of Republicans, Ms. Waters?
This isn’t some anomaly coming from a freshman congressman. This isn’t Maxine Water’s first idiotic statement, either. Last year she told a crowd of fellow bearers of the civility banner, “as far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”
Dare I say Ms. Waters is representative of many – if not a majority of far-left whacos who demand a kindler, gentler discourse from conservatives who have substantive disagreements with President Obama and the radical left while Waters, Pelosi, ‘Ol’ Joe, Charlie Rangel, Harry Reid, Obama and their ilk on policy.
After Congresswoman ‘Gabby’ Gifford and twelve others were shot by a whack-job, Jerrold Loughner, folks from the left, like the aforementioned and Pima County Sheriff, Clarence, ‘the duper’ Dupnik blamed the shooting on Right wing radio, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party. They all used the horrible tragedy to exploit their own liberal bias and blame it on everyone and everything except the one person who was responsible – one lone nut job who didn’t listen to right wing radio, Rush Limbaugh or the Tea Party.
That’s typical for the left. It’s also typical for the left to be the quintessential hypocrites. These people, who I won’t call demons, are masters of projection. They project all of their faults, and traits on the right. Like Bart Simpson they share the motto of, “I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove a thing.”
Actually we did see you do it but like the Wizard of Oz you keep telling us to “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” Perhaps Maxine Waters should take lessons on civility from Gabby Giffords, a woman who I didn't always agree with but liked, in spite of any policies that I may disagree with her on.
Just once, the next time a Democrat tells a conservative that they need to be more civil and not so vitriolic, I want to hear the conservative tell them, “Shut the hell up and look in the mirror the next time you feel compelled to make that statement. But that just me.

Hope And Change We Can Believe In
White House Claims 233,000 Jobs Added
According to the White House 233,000 jobs have been added.
Really? According to latest figures the number of people in the work force fell from 132.9 million jobs in December to 130.4 million workers in January. Is that what they mean when people talk of ‘fuzzy’ math? According to my math that’s about 1.2 million jobs that went away.
The highest job unemployment was under George W. Bush was 7.3%. The average was 5.2%. Care to put that up against Obama’s unemployment numbers? Ah, yes –‘Hope and Change’ we can believe in. He just wants us to give him 4 more years to finish the job.

Justice Ginsburg Calls U.S. Constitution a Bad Example
Washington, DC –
U.S. (liberal) Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently told an interviewer on Egyptian TV that they should use the United States Constitution as a model for their constitution. She felt the constitution should focus more on human rights.
Ginsburg said, , “I would not look to the US Constitution if I were drafting a Constitution in the year 2012.” Instead, Justice Ginsburg referred to the constitutions of more supposedly progressive countries, like South Africa, Canada, and the European Convention on Human Rights.
She stated, “I can’t speak about what the Egyptian experience should be, because I’m operating under a rather old constitution.” She obviously believes the U.S. Constitution is no longer relevant today. Odd; coming from someone who has sworn to uphold and defend that Constitution. May I remind the (somewhat less than, in my opinion) Honorable Ms. Bader Ginsburg that she took an oath, swearing to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. It is not her job to twist and bend the Constitution of the United States to fit her liberal beliefs.
Her job isn’t to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution should or should not be upheld.
Any problems we have aren't the fault of or any lacking on the part of our United States Constitution. It was well thought out and drafted at a time when we were subservient to the King and under tyranny. The founders did an incredible job of drafting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. The problem is NOT with the document, but rather Supreme Court Justices who want to find and interpret things that aren’t in it and ignore those things that are in it.
This gives us all an insight into the mind of a liberal United States Supreme Court Justice. I should add that I don’t want to see a Conservative Justice take the same path. The U.S. Constitution is what it is. Don’t take ‘artistic license’ with it. If we’re going ignore it and interpret it on a whim; we may as well roll the hemp that it was printed on and smoke it. Whoa, Dude! Where’s my Constitution?

Marco Rubio On Target
While addressing the HLN, keynote speaker Marco Rubio hit one out of the park. This is an excerpt from what Rubio had to say:
"And so, when the choices that are put before us today are dangerous ones because if we choose this path of pitting people against each other, if we buy into this notion that our economy really can't grow fast enough for all of us to prosper so we're going to have to somehow empower government to distribute the wealth of this country among us, we've chosen to become like everybody else. We've chosen to become like the countries that your parents and grandparents came here to get away from."
That message is right on the mark and needs to be passed on far and wide!

Is Israel Planning On Striking Iran?
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius says U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is worried Israel is planning on striking Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Ignatius, who was traveling with Panetta at the time, says Panetta believes it isn’t years away but months away.
According to Ignatius Panetta believes it could be as soon as April, May or June.
Israel is surrounded by enemies (and is probably wondering if the U.S., under the Obama administration is one of them) and one of them is a whack-job who not only is trying to build a nuclear program, but has made it clear it’s imperative from their standpoint to wipe Israel off the map.
Israel has been in similar situations before and acted swiftly and decisively to neutralize the threat. I don’t believe many people doubt that the Israelis aren’t justifiably concerned about the situation and certainly have the military option on table.
There are a few things that must be factored in, however. For one, they would have to know where the facilities are hidden under ground. Two, they would have to have something akin to the MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator – bunker-busting bomb). The MOP is a 30,000 pound bomb that Panetta told the Wall Street Journal has some kinks that need to be worked out, yet.
It’s not likely the Obama administration is particularly keen on providing one to Israel. That would mean Israel would have to come up with another plan. They would also pretty much be on their own since Obama isn’t likely to offer and help for fear he would be perceived unfavorably by the Russians or Iran – two countries we can certainly count on to have our best interest at heart, don’t ya know.
This all leads me to question why Panetta would pass his concerns on to a journalist – knowing it would certainly be published for Iran, God and the whole world to see. The noted Chinese general, Sun Tzu is credited with authoring one of the most well-known combat strategy books of all time – The Art of War.
In his book he speaks of planning, deception and indirect attack. I rather doubt Sun Tzu would fancy letting an enemy – and make no mistake, contrary to what President Obama would say, Iran is an enemy of the U.S. and certainly an enemy of Israel know they were planning an attack in the very near future. Perhaps it’s deception on Panetta’s part – designed to make Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believe he has a few month before he has to be concerned.
Another possibility could be Obama thinks Israel is off the reservation and wants to publicly tip their hand, believing Israel will abandon the plan, now that any planning they have invested into the attack and any deception, i.e., if and when they were planning such an attack has been blown, compliments of their ‘good friend’, the U.S., via Panetta.
What I do know is if Panetta’s statements weren’t given with the full knowledge of Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu we can assume he’s quite put out with us and any musings about the U.S. being an ally that could be counted on to watch their back has now become a metaphorical knife in the back. But that’s just me.

Perhaps it’s deception on Panetta’s part – designed to make Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believe he has a few month before he has to be concerned.
Another possibility could be Obama thinks Israel is off the reservation and wants to publicly tip their hand, believing Israel will abandon the plan, now that any planning they have invested into the attack and any deception, i.e., if and when they were planning such an attack has been blown, compliments of their ‘good friend’, the U.S., via Panetta.
What I do know is if Panetta’s statements weren’t given with the full knowledge of Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu we can assume he’s quite put out with us and any musings about the U.S. being an ally that could be counted on to watch their back has now become a metaphorical knife in the back. But that’s just me.

Party On
And The Party Goes On
According to Judicial watch the charges for the aircraft and crew alone for First Lady Michelle Obama’s South Africa trip to Botswana in June cost $424,142.00
You and I need to tighten our belts though, according to the President.
The trip included transportation for the 21 family and staff members. Those costs aren’t included in the $424,142.00 price tag.
The information obtained by Judicial Watch, via a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request also noted that the President and Michelle’s two daughters were listed on the manifest as well as Mrs. Obama’s mother and niece and nephew.
The information was only divulged after Judicial Watch filed suit.
The Obamas remind me of a care giver that exploits the person they’re hired to care for, hoping the patient doesn’t die before they’ve taken every dime from them.

How soon he forgets
The Quote of the Decade:
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!

From the town that gave us ACORN
Dirty Politics From Chicago, Again? Who Knew?
Once again it appears that bastion of forthrightness is at it, again.
In tactics reminiscent of ACORN, HOPE, a not-for-profit organization in Chicago is accused of paying people to attend protests that backed the closing of public schools. Can I just say this isn’t exactly shocking news? Chicago has pretty much been the gold-standard when it comes to dishonesty and crooked politics. The fact isn’t arguable. They have given us a long list of examples of less-than-stellar individuals including, dare I say it? I must, I must; Obama, ‘Blago’, Mayor Dailey and a list of names too long to mention. The only true way of determining if a person is dead is to find them registered as a Democrat in Chicago.
Two men claimed they were offered money and provided signs with no idea what they were actually protesting. Sound familiar? It should. It’s the same tactics ACORN used when getting signatures to vote for Obama. Remember their motto… ‘Vote early and vote often’.
To add insult to injury one of the men said they didn’t pay him his other $25.00. I can’t believe he was surprised. They were dealing with Chicago community organizers, after all.
Both men told the Chicago Sun-Times they had no idea what the rally was about but they were promised money to show up and weren’t told till the last minute what it would be for.
Thaddeus Scott said he was promised $50.00 to speak at the rally. He claimed he was stiffed out of $25.00 but doesn’t even want their ‘dirty money’, now that he knows what it was all about.
Of course the Rev. Roosevelt Watkins III of HOPE has a little different take. He says Scott wasn’t given the other $25.00 because he publicly revealed that he was compensated for speaking at the hearing. Why the audacity of Thaddeus to stoop to the level of being honest! I’m appalled!
The Rev says he was paying them money to attend “training”. Well, that’s more like it. For a moment there I thought he was being deceptive. Watkins told the Chicago Sun-Times, “What we do – so you can hear it from the horse’s mouth (somehow it was the other end of the horse that came to mind when I read this story) is we provide training because we engage community activists (there’s that term, again) to participate in things such as health care, affordable housing, safety. Those things. So we do training on community organizing.”
Where have we heard that term, ‘community organizing’ before? Oh, yes, Obama and ACORN. Wonder where HOPE gets their money to pay the ‘community organizers’.
Why am I asking – This is Chicago?

Good News For Trees
Since Obama took office numbers for new homes being built is the lowest in history. Good news for trees. Not nearly as many will be cut down to build new homes. How exciting -- assuming you are an occupy wherever person and can illegally camp out in national parks without fear of being thrown out.
Take that, rock star.
I love this photo.
When Obama got off Air Force One in Arizona, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer thought they were going to discuss the economy and jobs.
Instead, our blamer-in-chief launched into a diatribe about how he was not happy with the way he was portrayed in Gov. Brewer's book. Gov. Brewer said, "It is what it is." and stated the President is "thin-skinned".
After a lengthy conversation on the tarmack in Arizona, the President turned his back on Gov. Brewer and walked away while she was still talking to him.
Clearly, Barry has the personality of a snot-nosed little 5-year-old. He doesn't know how to handle it when he's not adored like a rock star.

The guy has no shame
Obama’s speech summarized
If you opted not to suffer through the bovine flatulence of Obama’s campaign speech, thinly disguised as a ‘State of the Union’ speech, I’ll summarize it for you.
Everything that he and his cronies have done to destroy this great nation and the economy was somehow blamed on Republicans. Like the Wizard of OZ Obama wants us to ignore what we know to be true – what we’ve watched him do and just, “Ignore that man behind the curtain!”
He railed about companies moving overseas and outsourcing jobs overseas. Yet, this President has done exactly that.
His catch phrase for the evening was, “Send me that bill and I’ll sign it right now.” Of course he will, so long as it serves to weaken America.
I love the one where he said, “Send me a bill that creates jobs.” Why? He’s had several bills that would do just that but he wants no part of it. His idea of creating jobs is to appoint another czar who goes through no form vetting and has no accountability.
Naturally, he had his cronies who clapped at everything he said – especially when he spoke of irresponsible banks who gave bad loans. No excuses and no bailouts, he claims.
He informed his groupies that those days are over!
It was his ilk who caused this mess. Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Charlie Rangle are just a few names that come to mind. If I may be so crass… Obama could have farted and said, “pull my finger” and they would have gave their rock star a standing ovation.
He says he will hold those accountable who used fraud in the mortgage mess. He will need go no further than most of the members of his own Cabinet and his cronies.
I could go on but you get the picture. This was nothing short of a campaign speech filled with incredible lies and rhetoric. He says, “The American people know what the truth is.” Exactly, but he refuses to listen because he knows more than us.
Obama needs to be a one-term President. Vote in November to see that he is.

War is hell
From the Weekly Standard:
Allen West on the Marines Incident: 'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'
1:37 PM, Jan 13, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Misguided student with no class skip class
Tucson, AZ
100 misguided high school students walk out of class in Tucson
Approximately 100 Cholla High Magnet School students walked out of class and walked about 4 miles to TUSD (Tucson Unified School District) headquarters to protest the elimination of Mexican American Studies course there.
‘Mexican American Studies’ is code for, anti-American rhetoric and racism studies for the young skulls full of mush. TUSD was ordered to eliminate the course when it was found to violate state laws that prohibits overthrow of the government (ours), racism (the course pushed an agenda that suggested America stole Arizona from Mexico – untrue and solidarity for a particular race. As a matter of fact La Raza means, the race.
Photos of protesting students showed one young Latino with a red bandana over his face, pumping his fist in the air, ala Che Guevara, that fine individual so popular with revolutionaries and the Hollywood left. You know, the one responsible for raping and murdering his own people.
We heard quotes from protestors saying, despite a court order to eliminate or lose about $15 million in state funding, this was not going to stop them. They promised something ‘big’ is going to happen on the 15th. When asked if that was a threat the response was, “Yes!”
TUSD assistant superintendent Lupita Cavazos-Garcia is quoted as saying, “We wanted to let the students know that we care about them and their education, and we’re trying to make sound decision.”
Here’s a news flash for you, Ms. Cavazos-Garcia – you can start by giving them what us taxpayers are paying for – a REAL education and not a radical indoctrination. The Mexican American Studies course had nothing to do with helping kids prepare themselves for going out into the job market. What it did was teach them the same basic principles that our current ‘blamer-in-chief’ exposes, that they can’t make it because Americans are giving them a raw deal. The only thing the classes taught them was hatred, how to wear a red bandana with your fist pumped in the air, how to skip class without consequences and how to take part in mob mentality in the face of a court order (again, without consequences. We wouldn’t want to appear to be racist for enforcing the same rules that would be enforced if it were Asian, Indian, black or white students doing the same).
Let’s be clear… They had no class to begin with. These kids have been coached by adult teachers and La Raza leaders and would be more than happy to protest the closing of a buggy whip factory if it would get them out of class and in front of TV cameras.
The Arizona Daily Star article said it was not clear if the students would face consequences or not. Let me help you out – NO, they won’t. They have learned from past experience that they won’t. There are too many prominent leaders in the Mexican-heritage community who would bring even more charges of racism if that were to happen. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
This has nothing to do with racism and it’s time we start holding people accountable. The race card is always played when folks find out we know the facts. Suddenly those who bring up legitimate questions and concerns are faced with defending themselves against charges of racism instead of dealing with the facts. I, for one am unwilling to get pulled into that ploy.
The facts are what they are and it’s time we start holding people accountable – including teachers who coach these kids to engage in these acts.

Don't know if this letter is ligit, but I like it.
Darn good ideas!
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future shes
worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that shes being forced to live in! These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010
Put me in charge . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone
Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound
bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you
can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do
is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and
document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use
drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good
state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and
possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360,
then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from
a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be
cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing,
whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile
tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward
the common good..
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights,
realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money,
accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and
ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that
taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning
and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes
we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.
The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer
can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of
interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are
receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Calls For Tougher Gun Laws Following Killing Of Park Ranger
The suspect in the killing of a Mount Rainier National Park Ranger has been found dead, face-down in the snow, according to an Associated Press story.
Although identification of the body has yet to be confirmed, it is believed that the body is that of 24-year-old Benjamin Colton Barnes.
Much has been made of Barnes being an Iraq veteran, supposedly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), after deploying to Iraq from 2007-2008. The mother of his child said in a signed affidavit that Barnes got easily irritated, angry and depressed and kept an arsenal of weapons in his home. Hopefully, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik doesn’t come out claiming ‘Right-wing’ radio, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party forced him to do it.
Let’s be clear – PTSD is a very real thing. It was generally associated with returning Viet Nam vets but we’re hearing more and more reports of returning Iraq vets suffering from the disorder. It is my hope that these men and women, as well as those Viet Nam vets who preceded them, be given REAL help from the Veterans Administration and not JUST drugs to make them go away.
My problem with this story, aside from the obvious, that innocent people died is how the loons want to spin the story. I can see it already – ‘Returning Iraq vet goes on shooting rampage.’ The inference being all returning combat vets should be suspect and considered ‘ticking time-bombs’, just waiting to go off.
There are many thousands of combat vets in our midst who are very well adjusted and not a threat to society. The fact that something like this is a big news story when it happens is a testament to how rare these instances are.
While we’re on the subject of ‘spin’… Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, is quoted in the AP article as saying Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. It is his hope that Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010.
Illogical, reactionary claims, like that of Wades aren’t exactly new. As a matter-of-fact we can count on hearing more of them, ala: Gabby Giffords syndrome. There are those, like Wade who probably believe the nonsense they’re asserting. There are others who subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel school of thought that claims, “Never let crisis go to waste.” They will claim this tragedy as a nexus for tougher gun laws.
Who in their right mind believes Barnes was anything BUT in his right mind? Is there anyone but these anti-gun fanatics who believes this whack-job really gave whether it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm into Mount Rainier?
The park gets estimated 1.5 million and 2 million visitors to the park each year, according to the article. Let’s do the math on that one, shall we? That computes out to 3 million to 4 million people since the law permitted carrying of loaded firearms in the park 2 years ago. One nut job out of 3 million to 4 million visitors who certainly didn’t put whether it was or wasn’t legal to carry a loaded or not in the park. Let me see if I have this correct, Bill – Barnes had no qualms about wounding four people earlier in the day and murdering a National Park Ranger but you believe a law prohibiting him from carrying a loaded firearm into the park would have prevented this tragedy. Do I have that about right? Do you have any idea how illogical that sounds?
There will always be people who either honestly erroneously believe that a gun law will prevent tragedies like this from happening or others who will use them to exploit in an effort to get stricter gun laws. Both factions must be seen for what they are and challenged.
There are those who actually believe we can simply pass gun laws, ban firearms and the world will become a utopian world where no one will ever have to fear violence of any form. I have one thing to say to those folks – you’re stupid! If you think cops carry a firearm to protect you, you’re equally stupid. Cops carry a firearm to protect themselves; not YOU. Does that tell you anything? Probably not.
My suggestion is to take a course in, LOGIC 101 and see if your statements make any sense at all before your blurt them out.

It is my hope that these men and women, as well as those Viet Nam vets who preceded them, be given REAL help from the Veterans Administration and not JUST drugs to make them go away.
My problem with this story, aside from the obvious, that innocent people died is how the loons want to spin the story. I can see it already – ‘Returning Iraq vet goes on shooting rampage.’ The inference being all returning combat vets should be suspect and considered ‘ticking time-bombs’, just waiting to go off.
There are many thousands of combat vets in our midst who are very well adjusted and not a threat to society. The fact that something like this is a big news story when it happens is a testament to how rare these instances are.
While we’re on the subject of ‘spin’… Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, is quoted in the AP article as saying Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. It is his hope that Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010.
Illogical, reactionary claims, like that of Wades aren’t exactly new. As a matter-of-fact we can count on hearing more of them, ala: Gabby Giffords syndrome. There are those, like Wade who probably believe the nonsense they’re asserting. There are others who subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel school of thought that claims, “Never let crisis go to waste.” They will claim this tragedy as a nexus for tougher gun laws.
Who in their right mind believes Barnes was anything BUT in his right mind? Is there anyone but these anti-gun fanatics who believes this whack-job really gave whether it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm into Mount Rainier?
The park gets estimated 1.5 million and 2 million visitors to the park each year, according to the article. Let’s do the math on that one, shall we? That computes out to 3 million to 4 million people since the law permitted carrying of loaded firearms in the park 2 years ago. One nut job out of 3 million to 4 million visitors who certainly didn’t put whether it was or wasn’t legal to carry a loaded or not in the park. Let me see if I have this correct, Bill – Barnes had no qualms about wounding four people earlier in the day and murdering a National Park Ranger but you believe a law prohibiting him from carrying a loaded firearm into the park would have prevented this tragedy. Do I have that about right? Do you have any idea how illogical that sounds?
There will always be people who either honestly erroneously believe that a gun law will prevent tragedies like this from happening or others who will use them to exploit in an effort to get stricter gun laws. Both factions must be seen for what they are and challenged.
There are those who actually believe we can simply pass gun laws, ban firearms and the world will become a utopian world where no one will ever have to fear violence of any form. I have one thing to say to those folks – you’re stupid! If you think cops carry a firearm to protect you, you’re equally stupid. Cops carry a firearm to protect themselves; not YOU. Does that tell you anything? Probably not.
My suggestion is to take a course in, LOGIC 101 and see if your statements make any sense at all before your blurt them out.
