Betrayal Anyone?

King DingleBarry is mulling tax increases by Imperial Decree (read: Executive Order).

The entirety of this administration shows its bountiful jackassery by skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before a joint session of Congress, calling that speech "dangerous" and "destructive." I guess Iran getting nuclear weapons is not "dangerous" or "destructive."

No less than fifty-five demoKKKrats skip the speech, with those that attended calling it "political theater" and other ridiculous things, never once touching upon the actual substance of the speech.

The Constant Campaigner has recently declared himself above anything Congress does, saying, in effect, that it doesn't matter if Congress - which, need I remind you, is a co-equal branch of government - votes to deny his Royal Edict (and massive overreach) on illegal immigration and its essential amnesty for people whose very first action in our nation is to break the law; he's going to do it anyway - displaying a complete disregard and utter contempt for this country and our history/traditions/culture.

Hillary Clinton, the presumptive demoKKKrat presidential nominee for 2016, is currently under fire as it's now known that the Clinton Foundation took donations from foreign governments - while she was Secretary of State, no less - with, shall we say, less than stellar human rights' records, particularly regarding WOMEN'S rights (which she proclaims to champion). Oh yeah, did I mention that we also learned today that she never used a government email account - which is REQUIRED BY LAW - while conducting official State Department business?

Aaannnddd to top today off, we find out that the Republicans bowed down, ONCE AGAIN, and passed a clean bill funding the Department of Homeland Security - which includes funding King DingleBarry's de facto amnesty executive order. Never mind that the Republicans control both houses of Congress and nothing should get through that isn't approved by said Republicans.

Anyone else feeling a tad..............BETRAYED? ~ Hunter

This. Is. PERFECT...

Yesterday, on The Kelly File's Facebook page, a link to the Fox News story about the federal judge in Texas and his decision to temporarily halt the Prince of Fools' executive action on illegal immigration was posted. That's not terribly surprising, as nearly every news and/or opinion show with a social media presence has posted a story or three about the injunction.

What was remarkable, however, was a particularly brilliant comment (included in this post) posted in the thread. The commenter has since informed me that it was originally from Ted Nugent. I'm not a huge fan of Nugent, but when you see satire this beautiful, it just has to be acknowledged. Enjoy. ~ Hunter

You can see Mr. Nugent's original post here.

Dear Mr. Obama:
 
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.

We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.

I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here So, would you mind telling your buddy, the President of Mexico, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

 
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
 
2. English-speaking Government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
 
3. Please print all Mexican Government forms in English.
 
4. I want my grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
 
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
 
6. I want my grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
 
7. Please plan to feed my grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
 
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
  
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
 
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
 
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
 
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
 
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
 
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
 
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
 
16. I'll need income tax credits so that although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
 
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Government pays $4,500.00 to help me buy a new car.
  
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.

 

The Death Of The Old Republic

Thursday night, in a not unexpected, but still unprecedented and unbelievable move, the Petulant Pretender, the Boy Who Would Be King essentially granted amnesty to approximately 5,000,000 criminal trespassers. Yes, you read that correctly - FIVE MILLION. In effect, and a fit of pique over losing what is shaping up to be the most important election of our lifetimes (perhaps ever), he's unilaterally rewarding people whose very 1st act in this country was committing a felony (that's a crime, libbies).

Thursday night, we witnessed what could very well be the death knell, the final nail in the coffin, of the United States as a nation, and as a Republic. What King DingleBarry has done with this one decree is say that the most recent elections held no meaning for him, that his policies, which he pointed out were on the ballot, were not soundly repudiated.

Thursday night, we ceased having a president. A self-styled king now rules in his stead. This king, which we were never meant to have, has decided that because he couldn't get some type of immigration reform through Congress (not even when he had control of the entirety of Congress), he has the absolute authority to change whole swaths of immigration law, onn his own. If you really stop to think about it, given the multitude of changes he's made to 0bamadontcare - again, on his own - this latest and most blatant foray into lawlessness isn't all that surprising.

Thursday night, a banana republic was created where a representative republic once existed. No longer citizens governed by the rule of law, we are now subjects of the Clown Prince, ruled by his whims and fancies. King DingleBarry has decreed that he will do as he damn well pleases, regardless of the will of the people. And make no mistake about it - November 4th was all about the people making their will known.

Now that it's been announced, the question now becomes - what can be done to stop it? It can't really be defunded, as the true effect isn't an action so much as an enforced inaction. Some states have already launched lawsuits, and some members of Congress have intimated they will do the same. I pray the courts take it up and rule against the Prince of Pique,and not just in the Republicans or conservatives favor, but in favor of the Constitution, and the Separation of Powers enumerated therein.

Thursday night, we witnessed something unparalleled in the history of America - the complete abrogation, even abandonment, of the presidential Oath of Office. The oath to "support and defend" the Constitution and "faithfully execute the laws" is one that should never be taken lightly, whether a lowly civil servant, a member of the military, a member of Congress, or the President of the United States. I know some will say that it's nothing new, that Congress and presidents past have broken their oaths before - to which I say never to this degree.

This cannot and WILL not stand. I, for one, will never bow before this, or any other king. There will be a reckoning for this Pretender to the throne, this Petulant Powermonger. I sincerely hope and pray that it's during my lifetime, as I don't want my children and grandchildren to have to clean up any more of our mess than is absolutely necessary. ~ Hunter

The Republican Mandate - And The Repudiation Of Liberalism

I keep hearing political pundits on TV, reading them online, from both sides of the aisle (although certainly many more from the left than right), who keep saying that even though the Republicans ran away with the midterms in historic fashion, they don't have a "mandate."

I'm sorry, but were they watching the same election results as the rest of the country? The rejection, repudiation, and outright dismissal of liberal policies could not have been made any more and absolutely crystal clear.

Republicans, for the first time in about twenty years, have firm ground under them. Their job now is to pull America up out of the ditch liberalism has driven her, and it can't be focused solely on stopping the Empty Suit's agenda, although that's undoubtedly a top priority.

They need to craft legislation that puts Americans back to work. Make America palatable to businesses again by ending unnecessary and burdensome regulations, purge the government from the marketplace as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Yesterday would be nice.

Corporate tax reform is another big issue. Billions upon billions of dollars are kept offshore by businesses to avoid double taxation - once from the host nation, then again by the U.S. Yeah... It's that crazy...

Build a damn fence along the southern border. Deport all illegals - period. Entering the U.S. illegally should forever disqualify you from working here, emigrating legally, or even visiting.

Reinstitute the Welfare to Work requirement and push for mandatory drug testing (that means it must be done, liberals) for welfare recipients. Tighten the restrictions on where and for what welfare money and food stamps can purchase and/or be used. Nobody should be able to buy a video game, or alcohol, or cigarettes, or marijuana.

Strengthen our military - again. There's more than enough wasteful spending in the defense budget that can be slashed, thus avoiding cutting personnel that want to be there. Above all else, TAKE CARE OF OUR VETERANS.

Reduce the size of the bureaucracies and their redundant programs. Root out the waste and fraud inherent in these bureaucracies. Make it easier to demote or fire public sector workers.

REPEAL OBAMADONTCARE.

I don't often disagree with Rush Limbaugh, but I don't believe we won this election so handily solely to stop King DingleBarry in his tracks. The American people don't want a "do nothing Congress." We want a Congress that does what's right for America. ~ Hunter

We Need BORDER Reform, Not "Immigration" Reform

I'd like to point out that the only "immigration reform" this country needs isn't an overhaul of immigration procedures - the laws we already have on the books covers just about every eventuality conceivable. Actually enforcing said laws would be sufficient "reform."

What we need - really, truly need - is border reform. As in, actual fenced and patrolled borders.

Our sovereignty is being destroyed by "compassion." When is enough going to be enough? ~ Hunter

Political Correctness: The REAL Border Crisis

With the flood of criminal aliens - and yes, that's exactly what they are, criminals - crossing our border from Mexico and certain Central and South American nations, I've been seeing far too many comments from leftists calling conservatives "racists" and "haters," as well as a few more......strongly worded, shall we say......insults because we dare to decry what's happening. I think it's past time to address a few of them.


My personal favorite, but easiest to debunk, is the "if you're not 'Native American,' everyone here is an illegal immigrant." First, "Native American" is a complete fallacy. To accept that humans are native to the Americas requires one to disbelieve the theory of evolution and its belief that humans arrived via the Bering Land Bridge. Two, there were no laws governing the immigration of peoples into what is now North and South America, therefore nobody emigrated here "illegally." Oh, by the way, I was born here in the United States, so in reality, I am a "Native American," and as I also have Cherokee and Creek in my ancestry, I have a claim to this land even if we play by the liberal's rules. Facts are such stubborn things, aren't they?


Don't get me wrong, Europeans committed heinous acts against the American Indians. The Americas were essentially stolen from the American Indians, but - and here's the important part - American Indians stole land from other American Indians. *GASP* Entire tribes were eradicated - not just by the Europeans - but by their own brethren.


Tackling the "racism" insult, I believe it's appropriate to point out that "American" is not a race. I'm really not sure if I can make that any more clear. America is an ideal more than anything else. No other nation of which I'm aware permits one to become a citizen and be considered just as much of a "countryman" as someone actually native to that nation. An American can't become French like a Frenchman can become an American. The Founders and Framers, in their customary brilliance, deliberately designed our system that way.


Conservatives don't have a problem with immigration and/or immigrants: Our issue is with illegal "immigration." Breaking the law is breaking the law, no matter how "inconsequential" that law seems to be to the apologists out there. We're not talking about going a few miles per hour over the speed limit here; we're talking about a major law which is supposed to have real consequences. When someone comes here illegally, they are essentially engaging in the theft of something that others worked incredibly hard to obtain legally for themselves and their families. Let's not mention the mockery illegals make of the legal immigrants and the laws of the United States.


Conservatives don't "hate" people either, on the whole. Hatred is exclusively the bailiwick of the Left. All one need do to verify that is look at comments from leftists on conservative pages and blogs. Their intolerance of views other than their own is legendary. I have been called racist just for being a conservative, a homophobe for believing in traditional marriage, an islamophobe for daring to point out what the main stream media refuses to - that muslims (lowercase to show disrespect) want to kill us if we don't convert to islam.


We, as Americans, from both the Right and the Left, are in danger of losing the greatest nation in the history of this planet. That may not bother the liberals, but it sure as hell bothers conservatives. It should bother all Americans, whether they be natural-born or legal immigrants.


It's not being lost due to an outside military force. No nation on the face of the globe has the power to stand against the United States (although I would argue that, under this administration, our global military power and effectiveness is steadily shrinking). This invasion of criminal aliens won't be the primary reason for the fall of the United States; it's more of a symptom of the illness. The sickness is the failure to enforce our laws for the sake of political correctness.


The first step the United States should take is to secure the borders and all other ports of entry into this country. There should be absolutely no possible way to enter this nation without authorization, or should be so ridiculously expensive to achieve as to make it literally worth waiting and legally immigrating. Liberals love to say we should accept Obamacare because it's the "law of the land." Leaving aside Obamacare's questionable constitutionality, what's also the "law of the land" is the Secure Fence Act of 2006. I don't hear a single liberal speaking out in favor of that law. In fact, when democrats took control of Congress in 2007, they soon defunded the law.


The second step to solve this crisis should be to deport all illegals. No amnesty, don't pass "Go" and collect $200 - just get them out. We've done it before, we can do it again. The Border Patrol is much larger, by orders of magnitude, than its 1950's version, not to mention the huge advances in technology. There is no excuse for not deporting those illegals who are found, and political correctness be damned.


A criminal is a criminal is a criminal, and breaking the law is breaking the law. We cannot, and should not, reward lawbreakers for thumbing their collective noses at our immigration laws. It is such a fundamentally simple concept to me that it's incredulous that so many people don't seem to understand.


To be a liberal, one has to be blissfully stupid, as well as willfully ignorant. They seem to have a deliberate mental disconnect from reality, but to claim, as liberals do, that racism and hatred motivates the desire to control immigration into the United States requires a suspension of disbelief that stretches credulity beyond the most fantastic tales ever told. I, for one, am tired of it. ~ Hunter

Political Food For Thought

The Washington Redskins have their trademarks revoked because their name is "disparaging to Native Americans." Leaving aside that there are no "native" Americans (human beings are not native to the Americas), and that the name "Redskins" is meant as an homage to the courage and dignity of the American Indian, not to mention that the overwhelming majority of American Indians don't have a problem with the name of the team, can someone explain to me how Redskins is magically offensive, yet the United NEGRO College Fund and the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People somehow ISN'T?


Of course, there's also the Cleveland Indians, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Hawks, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a veritable plethora of college, semi-pro, high school, and elementary school teams with American Indian names. Will the ridiculousness called Political Correctness attempt to force all those teams to change their names as well?


The United States is suffering an invasion, for all intents and purposes, of criminal aliens, all of whom will, at one point or another, qualify for government assistance of some form, up to and including health care paid for by us, the taxpayers.


Yet as we "speak," as it were, the United States also has thousands of military veterans on waiting lists, some for months at a time, who can't get needed care from the Veterans Administration, an organization that had a $450 million SURPLUS in its budget last year!!! I'm the liberals out there consider this a fair deal, giving health care to those here illegally, but forcing the people who have willingly put their lives and limbs on the line for this nation, but I do NOT.


King DingleBarry and his Court keep pushing the notion that anthropogenic global warming, climate change, climate chaos (or whatever name is in favor this week) is definitely "real" and the "science is settled" when none of the above is true. His Royal Lowness recently used a commencement speech he gave to rail against those of us who question it. Because that's the subject I'd want to hear about at my commencement.


Never mind that the "rising" temperatures actually stayed flat for the last 17 years, or rose almost imperceptibly, and that carbon dioxide, which is absolutely essential to nearly all forms of life on this planet, has a very tenuous connection, at best, to rising temperatures. Of course, we can't discount the role the sun may play in global temperatures, as most of the other planets in our solar system have experienced virtually identical rise in their temperatures as the Earth has before they leveled off, but why let facts interfere with the Left's agenda? Oh, lest I forget, the planet's polar ice caps recorded record growth this year. You know, the year after Mr. Super-scientist himself, Algore, predicted all of would be..........well, gone. Not that I want to put too fine a point on it or anything.


One department of the federal government runs the National Park system. It discourages the feeding of the wild animals residing in the parks, as it will lead to the animals growing lazy, complacent, and dependent on the handouts. Another department actively advertises the food stamp program, in other countries no less. Because as we all know, human beings would never grow lazy, complacent, and dependent on handouts, right? Say it isn't so...


Did you know the King DingleBarry has accrued more debt in a little over six years than all FORTY-THREE of his predecessors combined? It's entirely possible, if not probable, that he's actually spent more money than anyone in history, period. Chew on that for a while.


A Mexican official recently stated that illegal aliens crossing our border aren't committing a crime, they're just here illegally. I kid you not. Last I checked, committing a crime was the very definition of illegal. Maybe it means something different in Spanish?


Did you know that one of the requirements (for the crayon-eating liberals out there, that means a condition that must be met) for earning American citizenship is a working knowledge of the English language. That means you must be able to speak, read, and write American English well enough to get your point across. Why, then, are there citizenship oaths given in different languages?


These are but a few of the things that should cause you to think about the direction of this nation. Although I frequently poke fun at King DingleBarry - with good reason - I am well aware that the problems listed above, and so many more didn't start with him. They've been going on for years, if not decades. He has certainly exacerbated them, but most of these issues cross party lines. The establishment Republicans are no better than the democrats in most ways.


Most of the problems this nation faces stem from one thing - professional politicians. The Founders never intended for there to be a ruling class. In fact, such was anathema to them. All one need do is witness our first president giving up the presidency after two terms when there was no requirement to do so at the time. Until we impose term limits, and encourage people more interested in helping their fellow citizens than enriching themselves we're going to continue to face these, and worse. ~ Hunter

La Raza And The President: Birds Of A Feather

My friend, Buck Ofama, guest posts tonight, with his thoughts about the Taliban prisoner swap and the Marine being held in Mexico. I think Buck makes some excellent points. ~ Hunter

Here's a couple of thoughts about the plight of American Marine Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi being held in a Mexican prison for the last 2 months. First of all, he is an illegal alien who has violated their laws. Second, he wants to come home. He has no intentions of staying there. He has no intentions of becoming a drain on the Mexican public services. He is not going to work there taking a job away from a legitimate Mexican citizen and send his earnings back across the border to his family here in the U.S.; thus cheating Mexico out of tax revenue. He is not going to claim family members on his Mexican tax forms that allow him to siphon more money from the Mexican tax coffers (if they are dumb enough to allow such exemptions). He is not going to cause social unrest by joining groups that demand instant citizenship. The kid made a mistake. He crossed the border with a lot of his belongings; some of which included weapons that his grandfather gave him and some that he collected along the way in his young life.

My questions to Mexican activists here in the U.S. (and those that support them) are: Why are you silent? This kid is being beaten, hog tied, and chained to his bed. He is being tortured. His mother was forced to wait two days outside the prison before she could see him and when she did get to see him she was subjected to a strip search. Where is your outrage of how your country is treating an undocumented person who has crossed the border and broken the law? Hmm? Our prisons are full of your kind. You are treated humanely. How would you like it if we suddenly started treating illegal aliens the way your home country treats them? Huh? With merciless brutality. With no due process. With no dignity. With no human rights. Would you like that?

You hypocrites. You want to usurp our immigration laws, suffer no consequences, take advantage of our public services; and still complain that you have it bad because you aren't being made citizens fast enough, but nary a peep out of you when your country brutalizes a kid who clearly made a mistake and who doesn't even want to be in your craphole of a country! You'll never be valid Americans until you stand up for what is right and just. Instead, you're just another in the long line of the entitled; looking for a teat on the sacred cow of America.

And to our president: You made a big to-do about trading five high value Taliban detainees from Gitmo for one U.S. soldier who, by all accounts, deserted his post, left his weapon and body armor behind, and walked to the other side. He wasn't captured sir. At best, he surrendered. At worst, he collaborated with the enemy. So I wouldn't really categorize him as a P.O.W. And on top of that, 6 brave soldiers died trying to find him. And this is the person you choose to celebrate? This is such a high value "prisoner" that his return merits giving up, what many have said, is the brain trust of the Taliban? But you have yet to utter one peep about Sgt Tahmooressi's plight? Could it be that you don't want to ruffle any of those Mexican feathers because you have some important legislation and votes on the horizon? You know? You are pretty transparent sometimes. ~ Buck Ofama
