IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL

SPECIAL POST

If you look closely, you can see our President down there.  No?  You can't see Obama?  He's too small to pick out?  

Don't you wonder how such a small, insignificant speck can be creating such havoc in the overall scheme of things? 

Even if you add Pelosi and Reid, you still can't pick them out.  Suppose we add all of Congress, the ones who have been ignoring the will of the people for at least 20 or 30 years?  Now can you see them?  

It seems to me that, if they are so miniscule and they are raising so much ruckus, maybe we should send them to another planet.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

NUCLEAR REACTION: After Iran, What’s Next?

As you are reading this posting, Russia and Iran are beginning the process of loading nuclear rods into Iran’s new nuclear generator. From this point on, the odds of Israel or any other country bombing and destroying that nuclear facility are greatly diminishing, simply because such an event would undoubtedly spread radioactivity around the nearby landscape and into the air where it could travel to another nearby country. Russia and Iran have professed an agreement between them whereby Russia will be removing any weapons-grade material from the reactor and taking it back to Russia. Of course, we know that the Russians and the Iranians are well-known for lying through their collective teeth.

For all intents and purposes, Iran is now a nuclear country and will shortly have an additional source of supply for bomb-making materiel. So, what happens now?

Well, the immediate concern is that we allowed Iran to do this. How can we now justify preventing Syria, Egypt, Yemen and other Middle East countries from following suit? We have just opened the door that we and other nations have long sought to prevent: nuclear proliferation. Furthermore, with this list of rogue nations being involved the odds of nuclear material or bombs falling into the hands of terrorists has just gone sky high.

No wonder Obama left town for ten days.

When you are dealing with the enemy, you should always deal from a position of strength. As long as we had nukes and they didn’t, our margin of strength was ultimately sufficient. Within a very short time, that margin is going to evaporate. You can expect that those countries, now led by Iran, will gear up their rhetoric against this country and its allies. You can expect an increase in the level of terrorist activities. You can expect a growing trend of belligerence.

I think I have to say that our President has not handled the issue of our national security at all well in this instance. And in determining what we should do next, we have to understand that we are saddled with Barack Hussein Obama in the White House for the next 28 months. Given what Obama has done to this country over the past 20 months, we must understand that we need a change in the balance of power in Washington.

Yes, this next election should be about removing the incompetent, holier-than-thou incumbents regardless of political party. But, there has now been a not-so-subtle shift in my thinking. Now more than ever, we need to isolate Obama and neutralize his ability to make decisions that will continue to adversely affect our national security, our economy, and our freedom.

This is not by any remote possibility about any mandate for the Republicans, although that undoubtedly will try to use it as such. But, I guess we’re going to have to vote Republican simply for the purpose of reigning Obama in. Then, we’re going to have to go after the Republicans and watch them like hawks.

Based on everything that is happening and the fact that the Republicans are still as dense as their Democrat counterparts, I predict that the Tea Party will evolve into a political party before the 2012 elections.

In the meanwhile, I guess we’ll all have to sit on our porches with our rifles in our laps, waiting for one of those nuclear-equipped terrorists to come by.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

ECONOMIC WOES; THE AUDACITY OF OUR PRESIDENT

SPECIAL POST

It was in the news this morning; first time jobless claims rose to 500,000 last month, the highest figure since November of 2009. Wafting out of the putrid cellars of Washington earlier this week came the news that some 200 cities across the country are going to be faced with higher unemployment and near-hopeless budget deficits. The Congressional Budget Office this morning released news that the nation's debt will increase by almost $1.5 trillion average each year over the next three years. Housing sales, both new and used, are in the tank; foreclosures are up. Pressure to raise interest rates is mounting.

And here we have our President of the United States running around flapping his gums over the building of a Muslim Mosque.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

THE 14TH AMENDMENT: IS CITIZENSHIP A BIRTH RIGHT?

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

There it is in its whole context, just for your information. It’s Section 1 that is being used to allow illegal aliens to crawl over the border and have a baby, thereby having a U.S. citizen in the family and, presumably, gaining the right to live here forever at our expense. There are some people out there who latch onto the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” as a means of rejecting citizenship for those babies.

I don’t get it. If they are here, they are subject to our jurisdiction. To me, the argument is fallacious.

So, do we go ahead and modify or repeal this section of the 14th Amendment?

I don’t know why we simply refuse… refuse… to uphold the laws of the United States as they exist. Number one, if you cross the border illegally, you get sent home. Period. Number two, if you cross the border illegally and have a child here, you get sent home. Period. Having a child here gives you no rights. Where does it say you have rights if you have a child here? You go home, back to Mexico, and you either take your U.S. citizen child with you, or you leave him or her here. If you leave them here, you give up your parental rights.

Now, you can call me whatever you want. I’m in no way denying anyone the right to move here and live here legally. But, if you cross the border illegally, you have no rights. You’re definitely not a citizen and you are not here on a visa or passport, so you have no rights.

That’s the law, that’s the way it was intended to be, and that’s the way it should be. If they don’t like it, they shouldn’t cross the damned border illegally. Furthermore, anyone who aids and abets should be charged with a crime. If you aid a bank robber, you go to jail. If you aid an illegal, you go to jail.

So, just what is so damned difficult about that? 

THE NEW YORK MOSQUE: WHY IT IS A DEAD RINGER FOR OBAMACARE

I am outraged at the insensitivity of the New Yorker liberal left who think they have the almighty power to force Americans to rub their faces in the atrocities of the Muslim world so horribly played out in this country on September 11, 2001. Who gives a damn whether they are Japs who just bombed Pearl Harbor or Muslims who just bombed New York City? We don’t want their damned shrine sitting next to the U.S.S. Arizona OR the World Trade Center. It’s not religious intolerance and it’s not ethnic insensitivity, it’s just a plain damned fact.

How dare they allow this Muslim Shrine to be built in that spot… with a scheduled opening of September 11, 2011, ten years to the day from the horrible disaster they perpetrated on this country. Yes, they are all together in perpetrating this terrible injustice, from the time the plans were made to bring the World Trade Center down to the purchase of this land and the plans to open it as a mosque ten years later. The people involved are followers of Sharia Law; study it.

And, the far-left liberals in this country are bound and determined to shove the faces of those patriotic Americans who still believe in what this country once stood for as far into the camel dung as they possibly can. That Mayor Bloomberg, presumably a Jew, can tolerate even the thought of this project is beyond my comprehension.

When did this project get started? Is it a coincidence that, when Chairman Barack and his Deputy Chairman Holder announced they were going to try Khalid Sheik Mohamed in almost that same location and American public became outraged… Is it a coincidence that the “dream” for this shrine was born at that time? Is it not obvious that the radical Muslim world wants to lay the shame of our weakness in the shadows of where the World Trade Center once stood? If they can’t have their trial to shame us, then they will have their mosque?

The proof of their intent is that they refuse to build this mosque, this shrine, anywhere else in this entire country or anywhere else in New York City. It has to be there, at that spot; otherwise, they cannot teach us their lesson.

It has morphed into a matter of… they will get their way or else. They resorted to trickery, thievery, bribery, corruption, lies, threats and everything else to pass the Health Care Bill, totally against the American will. This is a matter of demonstrating to us where the power in this country is, that we have none, that we are too weak to stand up for ourselves. When we were outraged over their health care plan, they conspired to show us who is in charge of this country.

The mosque project in New York City has lined itself up in the same manner. They intend to rub our noses in the stench of 9/11 one way or another and they do not give one iota what we think about it. Once again, they will demonstrate to us that we, the people, are weak and willing to put up with whatever they, the elite far-left radical bastards want to dish out.

Enough is enough.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully and angrily submitted. 

OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME OUR ENEMY

SPECIAL POST

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Monday that “Our own government has become our enemy.” He was referring to the Justice Department‘s taking Arizona to court over its immigration bill, but the plain fact is our government has become our enemy in just about every facet of our daily lives and every tenet of our personal and religious belief systems. Obama has rubbed our noses in it and Congress has been complicit in it.

We all know the stories, from health care to the immigration issue to the economy to deficit spending to unemployment….. There’s not enough room on this blog to list all of the yelling and screaming we have done over all of the issues raised. Yet, Chairman Barack, the Czars and the Congress have ignored the will of the people and shoved it all up our fannies. The following is but one example:

In 1934, war veterans erected a cross in the Mojave Desert about 30 miles east of Baker, California to honor those killed in war. Anti-Christian, atheist organizations and the ACLU filed suit in 2001 to have it taken down, as it was on federally-owned land. The case made its way through the courts over many years and, On April 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the cross could stay. On May 10th, “unknown vandals” stole it. 

The VFW erected a replica of the cross and the National Park Service immediately removed the replica, alleging that the Supreme Court ruling only covered the original cross and not the replacement cross. An appeal was made to Eric Holder and the Department of Justice and they refused to budge.

Obviously, what happened here is that those who wanted the cross torn down, having lost their case, arranged for someone to take it down and our government, directly ignoring the intent of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the matter, allowed for the injustice to be carried out… despite the objections of hundreds of thousands of U.S. military veterans and the general public.

To be short and to the point, this and so many other instances underscore the fact that…our government has become our enemy.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
