MY SAY: IMMIGRATION BLUES

QUESTION: WHAT WOULD YOU DO ABOUT IMMIGRATION REFORM AND THE MILLIONS OF UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS WHO ARE ALREADY HERE?

WHO ANSWERED: “WELL FIRST LET ME SAY THAT I THINK IMMIGRANTS ARE SIMPLY THE GREATEST THING SINCE WHITE BREAD. MY PARENTS (SUBSTITUTE COUSINS, UNCLES, AUNTS, FRIENDS, GRANDPARENTS) WERE ALL IMMIGRANTS….BUT BEFORE SOLVING ANYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO SECURE THE BORDERS….BLAH, BLAH, BLAH AND PUT CHICKEN AND RICE AND BEANS IN EVERY POT…..BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.”

ANSWER: THEY ALL DID….AND IT IS A COP OUT….WHAT WOULD THEY DO WITH UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS? AND, HOW DOES ONE PRIORITIZE? WHY NOT GO AFTER POTENTIAL TERRORISTS FIRST? OR, PEOPLE FROM NATIONS THAT GIVE SHELTER AND FUNDS TO TERRORISTS?AND, FRANKLY, WE HAVE A PRETTY BIG PROBLEM WITH LEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ABET TERROR WHO ARE FROM THOSE NATIONS…..HOW DO WE SOLVE THAT? WHO DESERVES TO BE DEPORTED FIRST….THE LANDSCAPER WHO IS UNDOCUMENTED OR THE CITIZEN WHO IS HERE “LEGALLY.”

CAIR vs. the NYPD Counter-Terrorism Program Posted By Ryan Mauro URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/14/cair-vs-the-nypd-counter-terrorism-program/ The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling for an investigation into an alleged “secret NYPD-CIA program to spy on Muslims.” The outrage is based on an Associated Press report about NYPD counter-terrorism efforts that sound explosive, but are actually common-sense measures […]

KATRINA TRINKO: PERRY SMALL GOVERNMENT OR BIG SPENDER

Perry: Small-Government Zealot or Spendthrift?

But factor in inflation and Texas’ population boom, and the uptick in spending becomes significantly more reasonable. The same analysis by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the Romney campaign used as a source for the 17-percent spending growth each budget cycle reported that “once adjusted for population and inflation, that rate falls to 4.2 percent.” But that rate includes federal dollars sent to Texas. Subtract that, and Perry has decreased spending — the first time any Texas governor has done so since World War II. “When you exclude federal dollars, state spending adjusted for population growth and inflation actually has gone downby 6 percent,” FactCheck.org reported on Perry’s record.

WEST BANK BLUES: ARYEH TEPPER

http://www.jewishideasdaily.com/content/module/2011/9/14/main-feature/1/west-bank-blues Few groups are as demonized in public discourse as “the Jewish settlers” of the West Bank. As if they were a Jewish branch of al-Qaeda, the settlers are portrayed as gun-toting, racist, messianic, fundamentalist (and bearded) fanatics. To listen to the pundits, these international outlaws are single-handedly preventing the achievement of a utopian peace […]

WSJ: BACHMANN’S VIRAL DEBATE

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904265504576568753341009300.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_AboveLEFTTop The Republican primary field is understandably debating the role of the state in American life, but some of the contenders seem determined to fulfill President Obama’s caricature of conservatives as favoring no government at all. Take Monday night’s rumpus over cervical cancer. In 2007, Rick Perry issued an executive order requiring sixth-grade girls to […]

MY SAY: ELECTIONS ARE COMING….ON RICK PERRY

First: Michelle Bachmann’s overheated and hypocritical challenge at the debate. When Bachmann was part of the Minnesota legislature the Hepatitis B vaccine was mandated without parental opt-out and there is no record that she opposed it in any way. After the debate on the news she quoted a mother who claimed her child developed “mental retardation” after the vaccine. That charge is beyond stupid and bows to the uninformed Americans who are opposed to all vaccines and claim that they cause autism. Like the global warming cultists no mount of scientific facts will convince them. When she accused Governor Perry of taking contributions and potentially risking the lives of children, CNN got really busy checking up on candidates they don’t like….namely, all Republicans. In ten years as governor Perry got a total of (gasp) $28,000.00.

Pharmaceutical companies have contributed a great deal of money in America…..Does anyone stop to think that they would naturally favor candidates who want tort reform? After all, much of the money that could go to development and research is spent on defending themselves from spurious litigation.

Furthermore, much of the brouhaha is because it is a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease and abstinence is preferable, but a little realism is best. Does Bachmann really think abstinence can be pushed on American teenagers? Why doesn’t she ask Sarah Palin, who has the experience of millions of mothers who tried to maintain scrupulous morals at home but in spite of it her teenage daughter was unmarried and pregnant.

2.Immigration: Again, Bachmann should be asked about her home state where radical Mosques have proliferated, and its legal immigrants have taught Jihad and many have gone to fight along side of the Jihadists in Somalia.

Rick Perry’s decision to permit children of illegal immigrants to attend college is humanitarian. Not one of the other self righteous contenders has a border with Mexico and an in state large population of illegals. If those young people do not get a chance for education they would be in the street, and until I hear one real proposal for reform that deals with the illegals already within our borders, I’ll stick with the Perry solution of guest worker cards. As to building a huge wall, again, he is right. Just read about all the tunnels that have been built wiht direct access to all our southern border towns.

I liked Bachmann but her attacks were outrageous and her role is now that of a spoiler rather than a contender.

Thankfully, the U.S. has continued to threaten to veto this reckless adventure, and Prince […]
