Arizona's new law. Texas is following suit along with several other states.

  Arizona's governor signed into law a bill that will effectively start weeding out and deporting those who have come into this country illegally.  This is a land mark ruling that is unprecedented.

  There have been many demonstrations against this law by LULAC and many individuals of hispanic heritage.  Not only them but Obama has come out publically and said this is being reviewed for it's Constitutionality.  Why?  Mr. Obama hasn't worried about the Constitution yet.  He has been busy shredding our founding document as hard and fast as he can.  Along with the progressives and democrats in congress!  Yes there are progressives in the Republican party as well that are doing their best to destroy it!  Now Al Sharpton is jumping on the band wagon saying he and his groupies will go to Arizona and do all they can to get themselves arrested. Is he jealous of Dr. King and feel that he has to do everything he can to upstage him and make himself look like a hero???  Well rat spit!  Maybe we should ignore some glaring facts just like the above named individuals:

  When the statistics are known, there is NO doubt that we need to do something!  The feds won't.  They ignore 22,000 murders, rapes, kidnappings and other felonies committed since 2002.  Folks that is more than the entire casualty list from Iraq and Afghanistan!!!  The statistic that crime is almost the same in Arizona as it is in New York City!!!  And they only have half the population of NYC!!!  This along three state borders.....  Any wonder why we want legislation like this?  What about all the money the feds have spent on the "virtual fence" that simply does not work?  We find as I wrote last week that the law enforcement agencies are out gunned, out manned, and out financed!  The drug cartel's are almost running the border at will!

  The law signed into effect gives law enforcement the "teeth" it has needed to enforce the law.  First, it is not racial profiling.  It is if you are stopped, there has to be reasonable cause in order for the officer to pull you over.  If the driver or passenger can not produce a valid driver's licence or insurance then that is against the law.  OUR law.  If they run which many do so as not to be caught, that is against the law.  For the passenger not to produce a valid I D is also against the law.  So the law has to be broken.  I don't think that is racial profiling.

  Now Utah is proposing this legislation as well as Texas.  In accordance with the rights of each state being soveriegn, the Constitution guarantees that we as states CAN do this to protect our border.  10th Amendment.....  14th Amendment.  Arizona and Utah, Texas and many other states are "under siege" from illegal immigrants and therefore under attack.  In light of the crime rates and the type of crimes being committed and the monies spent on enforcement of the law.  So go ahead and look at the constitutionality mr obama, and how about doing the job the feds need to do which is seal off the border!!!

  And by the way, the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations SPECIFICALLY state that each immigrant WILL carry ON THEIR PERSON DOCUMNETATION issued for legal status AT ALL TIMES!!!

Tea Partiers: Vote Republican

I have seen some disturbing poll results this week.  Fox News is showing that the democrats are leading in the polls for November reelection.  Republicans next and Tea Party last.

What disturbs me is history.  History of the Presidential election that brought Bill Clinton to the white house.  We who are Tea Partiers are NOT a political party but a conglomeration of democrats, republicans and independants who are fed up with the business as usual crowd in Washington.  Fed up with the elected officials increasing governmental intrusion and take over of every aspect of our lives.  Fed up with our elected officials NOT listening to the will of their constituents.  Fed up with big lobby getting their way vice us getting our will.  Yes this includes big unions/labor whose greed has turned our economy upside down.  Fed up with the community organizer that wants nothing more than socialism in this country and to shred and trample on our Constitution!!!

The historic fact I am referring to is what I call the H. Ross Perot effect that drew off enough votes from the Republican party that actually won the election for Bill "slick willy" Clinton.  Who by the way smoked pot but never inhaled!!!!  Perot had some good foundational ideas that would have worked but did not have the endorsement of the Republican party.  This country is founded on a two party system and, as many faults as it has, works.  What doesn't work is drawing off votes from one or the other.
As I understand it, we in the Tea Party movement are NOT a political party but a medium to express our discontent for BOTH organized parties.  As well as those who ignore the will of the People and our Constitution.  With this in mind, regardless of your party affiliation, we need to unite in our effort to vote out those who don't listen to us, who cowtow to big lobby and the "career" politician.

At this point the left and Obama is pulling out all the stops by using the race card against us now as per the "study" done by Brandies University grouping US with the "right wing extremists" called the Neo Nazi's!!!  I am extemely angry about this.  Not only that but the left has also started to call for infiltration of our ranks in the Tea Party movement with leftist who will act in such a manner to discredit us and make us look like idiots and racists.  The attack is on folks and each of us had best know this history and understand that they will do anything including violence to nullify our intent!!!  I recommend reading Obama's play book:  Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky which he follows to the letter!

I also recommend throwing our support behind the GOP vice trying to become a political party.  Yes the GOP has in recent years gotten away from the basic principles the party was founded on but there is enough discontent amoung us that the RINO's won't survive the primaries.  If you are a democrat use the same yard stick to pick a good conservative candidate to run in November!

By doing the above, we will ensure a sweep of the House and Senate to counter the socialists and progressives and Obama will get the message that he is on his way out and that We the People will NOT tolerate our Constitution being ignored, shredded and trampled!

A word here to underline and emphasise:  Listen to Glenn Beck and Alvada King....  Non violence is the answer and the victory.  We are out to win our country back from the left wing progressive socialists who would have us a part of the "one world government".  We are all about a second American Revolution but not one of armed insurrection or violence!!!

Let's take our country back in November!

Illegal Immigration and the Proposed "Amnesty" legislation......

Houston, We have a PROBLEM!!!

  Along with the plethora of other major problems we are facing, there is one that we are facing that is totally OUT of CONTROL.  That of illegal immigration to our country.  As I have stated before in other blogs, I am NOT a racist nor am I a bigot.  So bear with me and I will expose this issue that needs to be dealt with firmly and quickly.

  Living in Texas and being a native of Texas, we live in generally peaceful coexistance with our citizens of hispanic heritage.  As a matter of fact, we  have, since our foundation as a Republic, in which many Mexican citizens fought for Texas Independance along with those of the European heritage, lived in coexistance.  That being said, our cultures are blended here and we are proud of that heritage.  The separation between Texas and Mexico is the Rio Grande river.  Generally respected by both sides.

  Where the rub comes in is that since that inception as a Republic and later a State is the flow of Mexican citizens coming across that river illegally.  For what ever reason, coming across without applying for a work visa is wrong.  I have no problem with people wanting to come here to better their lives and support their families.  I do have a problem with those who come here in the night without the proper authority and appropriate visa.  I have a big problem with this.  Not only are they going about it illegally but they are not paying taxes and sending most of that money back to Mexico.  Yes they do take jobs that are menial labor but sometimes the jobs they take are not menial.  Like construction and such where they are required to be a union member!  I.E.  SEIU who actually has the AUDACITY to claim they are recruiting illegal aliens to their ranks!  While ACORN signs them up to vote and finds them FEDERAL funding for buyng a house and property...

  Now we are experiencing a much greater problem.  That of the drug cartels manning the border for the soul purpose of main lining their death into the U.S. for profit.  They are now making so much money they are buying state of the art weapons and military technology to accomplish this.  Now they are using that technology to avoid detection by Border Patrol and DEA for not only the many illegals coming across, but to bring their drugs in massive amounts across.  Prior to last week, there have been isolated incidents of these "coyotes" killing U.S. citizens to avoid detection.  Now it is becoming blatant.  A rancher in Arizona was killed by these people.  For what?  Why?  Because he believed the same way most of us do!!!  Stop the illegal influx and he was trying to protect HIS rightful property.  This is not self defense it is nothing short of MURDER!!!  Alot of that is going on in Mexico, but that is Mexico's problem, this is OURS and it invovles both countries.....  We see the Mexican Federalies combating this problem and are cooperating with them as well as they with us.  This is a good thing.  Mexico is doing all they can to do their part and we are helping.  But is this enough?  Now that murder and illegal drugs are the motivator?  Personally I don't think so.

  I feel this problem is going to escalate exponentially from here until WE take a more definitive and strong stand.  In my opinion we need to now get the militay involved.  Just last week, a cartel in a number of "bullet proof" SUV's aggressively and purposely attacked a Mexican military base near the border.  The military responded and after the gun battle 18 cartel members were dead.  No word on how many Mexican army troops were injured or killed.  This is getting extremely serious folks.  What the cartels want is NO opposition to crossing the border and they use commercial trucks, rail road,s air craft, boats and illegals to mule this poison into our country...  Time to get tough.  We need the National Guard, State Guard and Military to man the borders and seal them off.  To answer the threat of violence with superior fire power until all concerned on the other side understands that they will die if they try to cross illegally or get caught running drugs.  No ands ifs or buts.  They will die.  If they kill or injur an American citizen they will die.  If they try to intimidate ranchers or farmers along the border, they will be dealt with severely.

  Secondly is the problem of radicals infiltrating across the Mexican border as in the case of the would be bomber who came across the border illegally and was living in Dallas for three  years before his attempt to blow up the Federal building in Dallas last year.  This young man is a Jordanian citizen!  With the world of international terror and illegal arms dealers out of control, I make my case for even stronger military force to stop this insanity.  The Border Patrol ( INS ) and DEA are far out numbered and with the money the cartels are making and expending on weapons and technology are OUTGUNNED and OUTMANNED.

  Third is the illegals coming across the border to have their children born in this country.  Not highly publicized, it happens much more than the public knows.  These women come over here before and sometimes in labor, show up at local emergency rooms and deliver just to have their babies born in this country.  Making them American citizens, automatically gives mom and family green card and eligable for welfare, food stamps wic and ssi....  All funded by MY tax dollars and YOURS!!!  Many times there  has been NO prenatal care and with the rate of diabetes in hispanic population, a good percentage of  these babies are born in crisis which requires evacuation to a facility with neonatal ICU's and all at OUR expense.  Many have relatives here whether legal or not this is what they do to gain residency and welfare....  I am livid about this.  I have worked on too many "bad" babies and seen too much of this.  Then they go back to Mexico, draw their American welfare, and food stamps and come back across to buy better quality food and medicines then take them back across the border and live like KINGS!!!

  This needs to stop by legislation.  Making it illegal to do so and when they do they get sent right back where they came from to deliver and NO citizenship for any of them.  No benefits, no nothing except deportation.  Stop this and we could balance the National budget in five years with the money we would save!

  For those employers who hire illegals, unions that recruit them and individuals as well as organizations that harbor and give safe haven to them, they need to have very stiff fines and prison terms levied on them.  Individuals, relatives or not, convicted of harboring illegal aliens need to be imprisoned and then deported with no chance of applying for legal immigration.  If those that do harbor these illegals are legal citizens then if convicted forfiet their citizenship.

  Our "government" in their screwed up logic now wants to give them amnesty and grant those already here citizenship.  They, in this "new" legislation, are wanting to have the illegals report their employers so they can be prosecuted!!!  In return for amnesty and citizenship...  Do they think we are stupid???  This is the screwed up logic being used by our congressmen in D.C.!!!!  What the illegals want is to earn the money they do, send it back to Mexico to their families so they can live like kings in THAT country, NOT America...  What JERKS and IDIOTS those in congress are who believe this will work!  Once again I ask you:  Have you ever seen a government founded and funded program that works or works efficiently???  I haven't.....

Racism: Who is really keeping all this going?

Who is really keeping racism going?

I don't know if any of you feel the way I do, I hope so.  The current situation in this country is deplorable regarding many issues but one in specific just puts a burr under my saddle.  It makes me nuts and raises many quesitons we should ALL be thinking about and fighting against.
Racism in this country...
I am a WASP.  White Anglo Saxon Protestant.  Am I ashamed of that?  No, I am not.  I am proud of my heritage for in my blood line is John Adams and Sam Houston.  Each fought for this country's freedom and the freedom from the tyrrany of Mexico.  Along with many relatives who have answered the call to action to defend this great nation who in their own right did as much as the above men.  I come from a long line of patriots and I am a patriot as are my children.
Being raised in the great state of Texas, we did'nt really look at race as have others.  Segregation I never understood but in this state my family disdained this institution and won out before the nation did.  Yes we all noted the difference in color and status, but never in my memory did we treat others with elitist or superior attitudes.  My family treated everyone equally and that is the way I grew up.  As we started to go overseas to third world countries for drilling contracts, I learned a new appreciation for people of different cultures and religions.  They generally treated us with respect and did we them.
I in no way downplay the civil rights movement in the sixties which i witnessed first hand.  This was a great moment in American history.  Dr. King achieved many things but this was his greatest work and rectified a major wrong this country had perpetrated against a race of people.  Yes as Americans, we need to look at this as a mistake made from the last remnants of our British heritage in part.
I enlisted 4 April 1968.  The day Dr. King was assassinated.  Most of us were shocked and sickened.  A few rejoiced, and a few promised race war.  I will never forget that day, not only for that but for the oath I swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic and to bear true faith and allegience to the same.  I have never read in the constitution where there is any reference to race creed or color.  I swore to protect us as Americans one and all.

Now I went through the racial violence of Watts, the riots and the black panthers.  I saw racial violence when I got back to Okinawa after a year in Vietnam.  During that year my Marines protected each other as I did them.  The only color we saw was O.D. green.  So we were confused when we got back and many of us denounced racially motivated gatherings and segregation happening there. 

What I have seen since is the self segregating actions by many people.  Calling themselves black and now the buzz word is African Americans.  I totally dis agree with this epithet on the grounds that it continues to segregate those who use it.  Woodrow Wilson is the one who started the segregation in the military and supported segregation in public.  My question here and food for thought comes from a recent video of an interview by Wolf Blitzer of CNN with Michael Steele chairman of the Republican National Committee.  Blitzer all but accused the Republican party of discrimination.  He cited a sign held by a Tea Partier of Obama as a witch doctor over Obamacare.  Mr. Steele should be commended for his demeanor,  composure and thinking in the obvious and makine Mr. Blitzer look like he was inciting and inflaming racial issue.  To discredit Tea Partiers and the RNC.  Mr. Steele slam dunked him big time!!!  As rightfully he should have.  So we see another attempt by the "lame stream media" to keep race in the forefront.  We also have seen since Lord Obama has taken office, that if any one of us dis agree with him or his policies, that same media and progressive politicians, we are accused of being racists.  So who is really at the bottom of this?

We are ALL Americans, white black brown or yellow.  Why do some continue to claim other nationalities and try to combine them with being American.?  I don't understand this concept.  I don't use it and my family and friends don't use it.  Why?  Because WE are AMERICANS!
