Hillary on the Border

One of these border barriers was built between 1368 and 1644, by men with no modern equipment, through fantastically rugged terrain and it's 4000 miles long.


The other is part of the best fencing to be built by Government on the US/Mexico border. So far, the Government claims to have built over 500 miles of the two thousand mile fence with a matching run of fence a wide road's width inside of it. In other words, a double barrier. This is not true and I'll post more on the border tomorrow. Oh, and the cost so far? Around 600 million tax payer dollars.

I borrowed this photo from the Christian Science Monitor and there are more pictures along with an interesting article.This is an American Citizen looking through the fence at Mexico.

On her recent trip to Mexico, Hilary Clinton apologized to Mexico for the existence of the drug cartels. Ms Clinton said that Americans are responsible for so much drug use that we have created this situation.

Now, wait just a minute, Ms Clinton! Do you happen to recall the pleas of responsible Americans who over a span of 30 some years, have begged our elected officials to fence and effectively man the border between the United States and Mexico?

One of the things We the Responsible Tax Paying American Citizens wanted most was to end the free transport of drugs into this country from Mexico. We were aware that Mexican drugs were being used to entice American School Children into drug use and from there into crime and wasted American lives.

Administration after administration has ignored the common sense solution to many of the problems that exist in our country today. There was a lot of bluster on Capitol Hill about The War on Drugs, but never a serious mention of the most obvious solution....getting control of the border by building a fence and increasing border patrol agents.

Remember the bill that Ted Kennedy and John McCain authored that granted amnesty to illegals? The one that served as the straw that broke the camels back? The one that caused millions of Americans to write, call, email, and petition Congress and the White House until the bill was squelched?

Remember how in 2007 you and your fellow members of Congress finally authorized a bill to build a fence on the border? Then, after much self-congratulatory posturing before the media you all took a recess while neglecting the process of appropriating the necessary funds for the actual building of that fence. And yup, it worked. By the time you got back to whatever it is Congress People do, We the People had cooled down and didn't notice for awhile that you'd pulled the wool over our eyes yet again.

Yes, I know that eventually there was funding for 700 miles of the 2000 needed miles of fencing, but the fence being built is a joke! Congress called for 700 miles of double fencing that has been replaced in spots by flimsy barriers, many of which wouldn't stop a pet rabbit let alone determined drug cartels.

I notice too, that you are apologizing to Mexico because criminals are smuggling guns from America into Mexico. A closed border would have prevented that problem as well and you could have avoided all that groveling!

However, if you're in a mood to grovel and apologize, then please do so to the American mothers who have seen their sweet sons and daughters "hooked" by pushers of Mexican drugs....all that bright potential lost forever; to those Americans who have lost jobs because greedy employers found they could exploit illegal aliens by paying them next to nothing; to American property owners who live on the border and have had their ranch land ruined and their homes invaded; and to all Americans who must now live with ever increasing crime, poverty, and fear.

Dear President Obama,

Since recent events along the Mexican border have proven the disastrous effects resulting from the lax attitude of your predecessors toward protecting American Citizens from an influx of drugs and crime, I hope you will be the first of our Presidents to take this problem seriously. I hope you will take control of the Mexican border by building a real fence.

You may want to take a look at what $600,000,000 has paid for so far... It's pretty pathetic.

Sincerely yours,

American Tea Party

Alice looks like I feel right now. Stop the insanity and let me go back to my nice little life!

But there's this tea party...and we're all invited..... to participate in mailing a tea bag to President Obama to remind him of the way we feel about big government and increased taxes.
The Postal Service is already complaining that tea will mess up their sorting machines, so I'm sending a picture of a tea bag that I scanned and printed. I thought I'd send one to my favorite gal Nancy Pelosi and one to Harry Reid as well as the President and the three Congressional representatives from my District.

This way I can send my tea and drink it too! (Sorry!)

The tea bags or facsimiles are supposed to be mailed tomorrow April 1.

For anyone who wants to find the address or research the voting record of any legislator from their district or any other, Project Vote Smart is a great tool.

This is a chance for Americans to join together to make themselves heard as one entity by their representatives in Congress! I'm making these my letter(s) for the day!

Now, just for fun a little biology 101.

On the border with Nancy

As Chrysler's recovery plan using tax payer money is rejected by President Obama, and we watch more hard earned American taxpayer dollars swirling around the drain preparatory to being sucked down, I am steamed up about another even more vital issue.

A week or two ago, Nancy Pelosi gave a pro-immigration speech to a group of legal and illegal Mexicans in San Francisco. She calls them patriotic, and some or all of them may be, but if they are in this country illegally, they are breaking the law.

This speech decries enforcement of existing laws that prohibit businesses from hiring illegal aliens. Pelosi is among those liberals who love to say that no American Citizen would do some of the jobs vacated by those illegals who are rounded up during these raids. The facts are that after raids those jobs are usually quickly filled by legal citizens. Today, with American unemployment at nearly 20% in some parts of the country does anyone doubt that any job vacated can quickly be filled?

It seems to me that Speaker Pelosi is encouraging people to break the law. We the People who obey the laws of the land are left to 'go fish' as she embraces those who break them.

Shouldn't we feel compassion toward those families who have undertaken the arduous journey to enter our country? Yes we should, and we should do what we can to help Mexico as she struggles to overcome years of bad government, but we can't afford to host the entire population of Mexico .

Wake up Pelosi, Reid, and you Senator McCain who should know better!

Just as opening up a vein will only supply only six quarts of blood before you've bled out and you can provide no more, America is already financially bled out! We're broke folks, and none of your posing, posturing, pronouncements, or promises will change that.

We the people know that you are all viewing those people as votes. If you can just give them amnesty, they will vote for you. Well, we the People are voters too. We're the folks who have been reluctant to get mixed up in the nasty business of politics, but we are still the backbone of America and you haven't broken us yet!

The video and transcript of Pelosi's speech are available from Californians for Population Stabilization. Note that as she panders, she still manages to patronize.

Here's a petition. asking President Obama to enforce existing laws. I signed this petition, but I'm still going to write Pelosi a letter. (I'm not picking on her sending two letters in a row--well maybe I am.) I hope you'll sign the petition or send a letter or both....

Dear Madam Speaker,

I have watched a video and read the transcript of your speech to legal and illegal Mexicans in San Francisco.

Did you mean to encourage breaking existing law and to denounce enforcement of the laws of the people and land you represent (I mean the citizens and the United States of America here -that's correct isn't it?) Did you mean to say that the enforcement of American law is UnAmerican?

Sometimes it's hard for the ordinary middle class or lower class tax paying citizen to recognize any representation in Government today. I hope we can count on you to keep us in mind as you challenge laws that were put in place for our benefit.

Sincerely yours,

Linda G.

Things are happening so fast in Washington that it's impossible to keep up with everything that threatens American freedom. It's like a keystone comedy where the same clowns who created a huge mess are commissioned to fix it, and every decision they make compounds the problem.

Common sense Americans know that you can't spend your way out of debt. We don't want our Grandchildren paying our debts. We're supposed to get all excited by a few dollars added to our paychecks or "refunded" on our income taxes. If we had the choice of borrowing that money and expecting our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren to pay it back along with years of accumulated interest would we CHOOSE to borrow it? Any money we automatically receive from the Government is already our money. They are loaning us our own money and it's in the form of a bribe! "Take this money from your great benefactor, Government and smile. Buy yourself a nice digital TV or something. and settle down."
In other words, they think we are too stupid to figure this out, too greedy to turn it down, or to lazy to fight it!

But you know what? We're not! All over this country people are having"tea parties," gathering in orderly protest against big government and increased taxation. They are writing letters, signing petitions, and sending emails. The silent majority is finding it's voice! That voice is gaining strength daily and it's speaking out in defense of the Constitution of the United States of America!

Dear Madam Speaker,
I am one of the formerly silent majority of Americans who is fed up with big Government spending and increased taxation.
You stood up before all the citizens of America, placed your hand on the Bible, and took an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Clearly, you need to re-read that document.

Sincerely yours,
Linda G. (I use my full voter name on my letters)

Spitting on Marines

We all dream of sending our children to a good University. What many may not realize is the narrow scope of social ideology that is being "taught" along with biology, physics, or English lit.

My Grandson, along with his fellow band members, was in Lake Havasu last weekend promoting two of the band's sponsors, Gretsch Musical instruments and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. They happened to meet up with two young Marines who were just home from Iraq and facing deployment to Afghanistan.

Both young men were about 20 or 21 years old and highly upset and frustrated because they had just met up with a group of college students who, upon discovering that they were Marines, spat on them! Spit! How pathetic, disgusting, and mean spirited is that?

Of course the Marines, being in excellent shape and trained in combat, could have happily and easily wiped the floor with their tormentors. They didn't dare lay a finger on them knowing they would probably have been arrested and possibly faced military court marshal.

So why do college students feel entitled to show such contempt as to spit on anyone with whom they disagree? It seems to be a growing form of demonstrating disapproval by college students as a young woman handing out a newspaper to fellow students at UC Berkley found.

Her experience is featured in the following video of Lou Dodd and Evan Coyne Maloney discussing the documentary film, Indoctrinate U .






More about Evan Coyne Maloney's Documentary, Indoctrinate U, here. There are segments available on YouTube and people can organize showings in their own communities.

I always thought spitting on people was only done by old crones in novels depicting the dark ages. Or by helpless heroines facing death in movies. Who knew it would be the weapon choice by American youth for assaulting a fellow human with whom they disagree!

The thing that really bothers me is what would these same young people do if they had the power to really hurt people who hold different ideas or ideals than their own? Would they stop at spitting? Could they lynch those who disagreed with them? Or consign them to a camp or worse? Never in America? I would like to believe that.
