I spoke too soon yesterday....
I have effectively been silenced - as has every other retired member from any service.
I received my May-August 2013 copy of the "Echos" magazine in the mail today... (the retiree's newsletter). Within it was what I find an ominous article on page 10 titled "Did you know? Retired Soldiers and the Uniform Code of Military Justice" (UCMJ)
It references AR 27-10, Chapter 5, section 1, 5-2(b) 3.
Any of you who are a Vet (not a retiree) or citizen without Military service I would encourage you to write your elected on this topic - as silencing all retiree's takes away quite a bit of firepower to the argument.... All Retiree's should write their elected as well - but do the homework yourself and see what the regulation holds..... FUBAR folks.
I'm Army, so I have no clue what other services regulations hold within them - but my assumption is, they reflect each other in UCMJ here just as they reflect each other in every other aspect. It's US Code.... federal law. Just as I have reminded Congress often enough, no one is above the law..... (even if they are not obeying it - I HAVE too, or I am no different than they)
It appears these points within AR 27-10 were inserted somewhere in 1978 or thereabouts... (possibly earlier but I can't find them)
I went back as far as I could and discovered a legal discussion (Military Law Review) written in 1979 discussing the new term "extraordinary circumstances" which appears to be the key phrase and legal "switch" that will be used in the current 2011 version of the reg.
If you are a Veteran - but not a Retiree, you are probably safe from inclusion under this... certainly no more than any other US Citizen who speaks out against this government... but as a Retiree, the bottom line is; they can call you back to AD at any age and at any time for the purposes of Court Marshaling you under "extraordinary circumstances".
No one can dispute we currently have "extraordinary circumstances" in our Nation and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they will bend (or ignore whatever aspects of) the Law to whatever degree they feel necessary to silence anyone who speaks out against this government.
I will continue to write my elected - nothing in UCMJ can prevent that and I will continue my research to see if posting those letters violates UCMJ in any way - but I am only going to be reading from now on, not posting what I find. I will keep my own counsel. Please forgive me, I'm still here but I've been silenced.
Knowing this now, I ask you pray for all Retiree's... as after this particular warning in Echoes.... This could prove to be a very ominous warning of dire results to come - to all retirees.....
Trust me, I WILL be contacting my elected on this subject - along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.
Call me if you need to talk.

Buchanan: America’s coming gun war
Eight days after the massacre of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary, where each child was shot with a Bushmaster .223, The Nation’s Gun Show, the biggest east of the Mississippi, opened.
“A line already snaked around the building shortly after the three-day event began at 3 p.m., and the parking lot was jammed” at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Va., wrote Justin Jouvenal of The Washington Post:
“With an AK-47 slung over one shoulder, Marco Hernandez offered one word when asked why he was in the overflow crowd at the gun show.”
“Obama,” he said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the possible gun ban.”
And this is the story across America since Sandy Hook.
The weapon most in demand at Chantilly?
The AR-15 black rifle, a version of which was used to slaughter the innocents in Newtown. At Chantilly, their price doubled in hours to $1,800. Gun stores have sold out their inventory.
Grover Norquist: The fight against President Obama’s overspending is winnable
Yet for weeks after Sandy Hook, journalists and politicians from the president to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who were making the case for a new assault weapons ban, dominated the airwaves. Those calling for reinstatement of the ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 had the national audience almost entirely to themselves.
The National Rifle Association was largely silent. Not until nine days after Newtown did the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre appear on “Meet the Press” to be subjected to hostile interrogation.
Yet, from the record gun sales in December, and 2012 — there were 16.8 million calls to the FBI for background checks for gun purchases last year — the elites have lost the argument with the audience that counts. They have failed to convince those who buy guns.
Just as East Berliners, before the Wall was built, voted with their feet, fleeing west, Americans are voting with their checkbooks, paying hundreds and thousands of dollars to buy the guns liberals loathe.
The reflexive response of the gun controllers is to blame this on that malevolent force, the gun lobby, at whose apex is the NRA.
But those crowds coming to gun shows in droves and buying semi-automatics are not there because the NRA issued some order.
Today, we Americans are a far more heavily armed people than half a century ago. Forty-seven percent of adult males own a firearm. There are 270 million rifles, shotguns and pistols in private hands.
Are they for hunting? Not according to the Financial Times.
“The number of hunters fell from 16.6 million in 1975 to 12.5 million in 2006, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.” That number will continue to shrink as America’s suburbs further encroach on rural areas, limiting hunting grounds and reducing game.
The FT notes that Freedom Group, owner of Bushmaster, has estimated that while “total sales of long guns to U.S. consumers rose at an annual rate of just 3 percent during 2007-2011, modern sporting rifles grew at an annual rate of 27 percent.” Last year, sporting rifle sales doubled.
The number of rifles like the AR-15 in private hands has probably tripled since the assault weapons ban expired. The NRA’s David Keene estimates the number now at above 3 million.
Who owns these weapons?
Half are owned by veterans and cops. Writes Keene: “Nearly 90 percent of those who own an AR-15 use it for recreational target shooting; 51 percent of AR owners are members of shooting clubs and visit the range regularly; the typical AR owner is not a crazed teenage psychopath, but a 35-plus-year-old, married and has some college education.”
These figures suggest that a successful effort to restrict the sale and transfer of “assault rifles” will, as did the Volstead Act and Prohibition, drive the market underground, create lawbreakers out of folks who are law-abiding and send the AR-15 price further skyward.
Many gun controllers not only do not understand what motivates those who disagree with them, they do not like them, reflexively calling them gun nuts, a reaction as foolish as it is arrogant and bigoted.
For given the loosening of gun laws at the state level in recent years, the gun controllers no longer have the numbers to impose their will on the folks who have a love for, or feel a need for, guns.
To most Americans, an armed guard in a school is a good idea in our too-violent nation. Most Americans realize that when shooting breaks out in a gun-free zone — a school, movie theater, mall — the first call goes to 911 to get cops with Glocks and a SWAT team with black rifles there as soon as possible.
Most folks understand why air marshals on planes might have to be armed. Most folks know that the people running up the death toll in murder capitals like Chicago are not using AR-15s. And many Americans yet accept that in the last analysis it is a man’s duty to be the defender and protector of his wife and children.
Human nature will ultimately triumph over ideology.
I caught Sarah Palin on Fox & Friends Monday. Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air. While listening to Palin speak on various issues and Obama's scandals, something occurred to me. Palin on TV fills a desperately needed void. Palin communicates in plain English, free of the usual guarded TV political speak. Palin fearlessly nailed Obama and company with the truth. Folks, I can not express how good and hopeful I felt.
Palin boldly defends our side (conservatives and the Tea Party). We have been kicked around by the Left and the mainstream media with little to no push back. With the exception of a few, conservatives seem to be always on the defensive, apologizing or trying to prove we do not hate blacks and Hispanics. It makes me sick.
Despicably, the MSM and the dirty Democrats plant, water and nurture seeds of hate – growing their army against the Tea Party who are simply regular Americans defending the Constitution and our God given freedoms.
As a black activist in the Tea Party, I am so sick of the Left putting us back on our heels with their evil lie from the pits of hell. In my five years of active duty in the Tea Party, I know and love the wonderful extraordinary patriots I have met at tea parties across America.
In no way is hate a motivating factor. The truth is quite the opposite. The Tea Party Movement is motivated by love – love for the greatest nation on the planet and a deep desire not to see it transformed into Obama and company's desired socialist/progressive, welfare state and Godless pile of liberal crap.
The evil Left knows the truth, but spreads their lie claiming opposition to Obama is all about “hate” to divide the country.
Palin spends no time apologizing for who we are and what we stand for. She stays on offense. God, I love this woman! She is back, Tea Party! Sarah Palin is back!

Pork Painted Bullets Sure To Offend Muslims!! New on the market!!
Yee-haw someone got smart! Bet these sell like wild-fire too!
A natural deterrent for Muslims!!
In a move that is certain to anger some Muslims, an Idaho company has begun producing bullets coated with “pork-infused paint.”
Jihawg Ammunition’s company slogan is “Peace through Pork,” as stated on its web site, which says it “is the only ammunition in the world that provides a peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam.”
The company developed a proprietary system for infusing ballistic paint with pork, which is then applied to bullets. The inclusion of pork in the paint makes the bullets haraam, or unclean.
Under Islamic law, anyone who comes in contact with a haraam item is then unclean, and must engage in a cleansing ritual. No unclean person can be admitted into Paradise.
This is brought into context by the web site AmmoLand, which points to last month’s slaughter of an off-duty British soldier on a busy street in London by two Islamic extremists.
In asking why the two men waited around after the attack until police units arrived, and then launched a “suicide attack” having brought knives to a gunfight, Ammoland said:
“They engaged in their act of jihad, killing an “infidel aggressor, enemy of Islam,” and then waited around for the armed police to show up so they could die in battle for Allah’s glory, martyrs, and therefore elected for special rewards in Paradise.”
While it’s open for debate whether martyrs for Allah actually receive a reward of 72 virgins, Islamist clerics use this promise to encourage young men to engage in jihad. A promise some believe.
And, according to AmmoLand, that’s the objective of Jihawg Ammo: “Not to insult Muslims, but to serve as a deterrent – to place the promise of instant passage to Paradise into doubt in the minds of would-be jihadists.”
And maybe this is the actual greeting they will get:

Here’s What Nancy Pelosi Calls “Sacred Ground”
Rep. ancy Pelosi (D-CA) described her belief in abortion as “sacred ground.” She needs a lesson in abortion realism.
In 2004, after the murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn baby, Congress passed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. This was a step toward giving legal protection to the unborn. The irony of this law should be self-evident, however. It did nothing to stop abortion, which is truly the most horrific form of violence against the unborn imaginable.
There is now another bill making its way through the House that takes another step toward stopping the violence against the unborn. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797) would prohibit all abortions after 20 weeks after fertilization, except if the life of the mother is in imminent danger.
Dr. Anthony Levantino, a former abortionist who early in his career performed 1,200 abortions, testified last month to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice in regard to the bill. He described in detail how abortions are performed in the second trimester, once the baby is too large to pass through the suction catheter that is used during the first trimester. At this stage the doctor must perform a procedure referred to as Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) using what’s called a Sopher clamp to remove the baby from the mother’s womb — piece by piece.
The Sopher clamp is used, said Dr. Levantino, “for grasping and crushing tissue. When it gets hold of something, it does not let go.”
“The toughest part of a D&E abortion,” said Dr. Levantino, “is extracting the baby’s head. The head of a baby that age is about the size of a plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. You can be pretty sure you have hold of it if the Sopher clamp is spread about as far as your fingers will allow. You will know you have it right when you crush down on the clamp and see a pure white gelatinous material issue from the cervix. That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. If you have a really bad day like I often did, a little face may come out and stare back at you.”
Dr. Maureen Condic, a neurobiologist, also testified before the committee. She stated that in the neurological development of the baby the spinal reflex, which is responsible for the most primitive response to pain, is developed by 8 weeks of gestation. “This is the earliest point at which the fetus experiences pain in any capacity,” she said. At that stage “a fetus responds just as humans at later stages of development respond; by withdrawing from the painful stimulus.” She explained, “To experience pain, a noxious stimulus must be detected.
The neural structures necessary to detect noxious stimuli are in place by 8-10 weeks of human development. There is universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. The debate concerns how pain is experienced; i.e., whether a fetus has the same pain experience a newborn or an adult would have.” (LifeNews.com, 5/23/2013).
“Imposing pain on any pain-capable living creature is cruelty," concluded Dr. Condic. “And ignoring the pain experienced by another human individual for any reason is barbaric. We don’t need to know if a human fetus is self-reflective or even self-aware to afford it the same consideration we currently afford other pain-capable species. We simply have to decide whether we will choose to ignore the pain of the fetus or not.”
The House Judiciary Subcommittee has now approved the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797) and forwarded it to the full House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona, originator of the bill, says, “[L]et us not forget that had Kermit Gosnell dismembered these babies before they had traveled down the birth canal only moments earlier, he would have, in many places nationwide, been performing an entirely legal procedure. If America truly understands that horrifying reality, hearts and laws will change.” (LifeNews.com, 6/4/2013)
Rep. Franks is correct. Acknowledging the “horrifying reality” of abortion is the first step to changing hearts and laws. Testimonies like those of Drs. Levantino and Condic help to show the reality that abortion is truly the most horrific form of violence against the unborn imaginable.
Sacred ground? Blood-soaked ground is more like it, Nancy

Benghazi Scandal Takes Another Turn Against Obama and Clinton
It seems that in the wake of the IRS and NSA scandals that the Benghazi scandal has almost been forgotten. However the recent admission of Martin Dempsey, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, is certain to bring it all back into the limelight.
In the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the US Consulate grounds in Benghazi, The White House and State Department both said that there were no troops or Special Forces that could have reached the consulate in time to help them, even though there were reports that said otherwise.
Now we learn that both the White House (Obama) and the State Department (Clinton) were again lying to the American people. According to a statement from Dempsey, a highly trained team of Special Forces, C-110, were within a few hours of Benghazi. The consulate reported that they were under attack early on and the attack lasted over 8 hours. If Dempsey is telling the truth, the Special Forces unit could have been there and possibly save the lives of the four Americans.
Dempsey tried to protect the White House and State Department by first saying that the Special Forces unit was more than 6 hours away and that was only if they were setting on the tarmac at the time. He did acknowledge that the unit was training in Croatia. A large commercial jet liner can make the trip in about two and half hours, and sources close to the unit said they could have loaded up and flown to Benghazi in about four to four and half hours.
He also testified that the Special Forces unit had been told to begin preparations to leave Croatia to return to the base in Germany. If that were true, then they would have already been preparing their gear for transport which would have cut their arrival time to Benghazi down.
Dempsey’s testimony before the Senate did verify a report that was aired on Fox News back in April that said there was a Special Forces unit close enough to have responded to the call for help from the consulate. The Fox News report quoted a whistleblower source as saying:
“We had the ability to load out, get on birds and fly there, at a minimum stage. “C-110 had the ability to be there, in my opinion, in a matter of about four hours … four to six hours.”
“They would have been there before the second attack. They would have been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate their exfil [sic] out of the problem situation. Nobody knew how it was going to develop. And you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisers say hey, we wouldn’t have sent them there because, you know, the security was unknown situation.”
To add more controversy to what was reported and what really happened, Dempsey told the Senate hearing that on the night of the Benghazi attack, the command of the Special Forces unit was unexpectedly transferred from the European Command to the Africa Command. Former Libyan Deputy Ambassador to Libya Gregory Hicks testified earlier that when he got word of the attack, he tried to contact the Africa Command but received no support. He said:
“At about 10:45 or 11 we confer, and I asked the defense attache who had been talking about AFRICOM and with the joint staff, ‘Is anything coming? Will they be sending us any help? Is there something out there?’ And he answered that, the nearest help was in Aviano, the nearest – where there were fighter planes. He said that it would take two to three hours for them to get onsite, but that there also were no tankers available for them to refuel. And I said, ‘Thank you very much,’ and we went on with our work.”
So even in his attempt to support the White House and Statement Department, Dempsey only helped verify the earlier reports that help could have been sent to Benghazi, but it wasn’t. The help could have possibly arrived in time to make a difference, but no attempt or effort was made to save the Americans at the consulate. Our government deserted our ambassador and his staff and just left them there to fend for themselves against nearly 200 hostiles.
Perhaps this needs to be pointed out to anyone interested in pursuing a diplomatic career with the State Department. Once deployed on foreign shores, you’re on your own, especially if you are in a known hostile region and the President and Secretary of State will lie to your families as your body is returned to them. Doesn’t that make you want to sign up?
“Washington establishment rats” seek to cover up NSA scandal at the expense of the American people
If Federal Judiciary Does Not Hear the People’s Grievances Nation Is Back to 1776
(Washington, D.C., June 17, 2013). Larry Klayman, a former Justice Department prosecutor and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, today issued the following statement in the wake of having filed last week two class action lawsuits seeking redress for the widespread violation of constitutional rights to privacy, freedom of association, to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures and due process in the newest Obama scandal known as “NSA-gate.” See www.freedomwatchusa.org.
“Now that the proverbial ‘cat is fully out of the bag’ concerning the NSA’s and its enablers’ massive violation of the constitutional rights of American citizens, the ‘establishment rats’ in Washington, D.C., predictably were sent scurrying to try to cover up their ‘NSA rat hole,’ by vilifying and then calling for the criminal prosecution of whistleblower Edward Snowden. Many of these rabid rats are of Democrat and Republican persuasions; they are the government officials, congressmen and senators who all collaborated to put the NSA’s illegal ‘Big Brother’ data mining of cell and internet providers communications networks secretly into effect. They also consist of the pro-Obama prime time talk show hosts of MSNBC, and Jeffrey Toobin, the legal analyst who also ran interference for the criminally minded Clintons during the late 1990s. These media apologists have miraculously developed a new found concern for national security – having conveniently ‘overlooked’ President Obama and Vice President Biden’s wholesale and highly damaging leaks of classified national security information to boost their 2012 election prospects.
Now claiming that this massive violation of privacy and other constitutional rights is justified to combat terrorism, these Washington establishment rats are in full spin mode. On many of the Sunday talk shows, they were present in full force, trying to divert attention away from NSA-gate, lest it implicate them in the patently illegal criminal conduct.
But the American people are not fooled, no more than our Founding Fathers Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were fooled by King George III’s wholesale violation of basic human rights in the years leading up to the Declaration of Independence and the start of the revolutionary war, when the British busted into our homes, stole our worldly possessions, taxed us into submission, perverted our legal system and, when we complained, seized and destroyed our weapons of self defense.
The potential number of class action plaintiffs in the two cases which I filed over NSA-gate potentially number over 300 million persons. The masses thus have the legal means to rise up and and hold the Washington establishment rats, which include but are not limited to defendants President Obama, Attorney General Holder, the Justice Department, the heads of the NSA and the cell and internet providers, the agencies and companies themselves, and federal judge Roger Vinson, responsible for their outrageous criminal acts. These cases can be the catalyst which sparks the new American revolution, peacefully and in the courts.
But if the federal judiciary does not hear the legitimate grievances of the American people and take corrective action, and instead seek to protect the Washington establishment rats who put them in power, then it could be 1776 all over again, as the people have been violated and raped, and they demand redress! Coupled with all of the other outrageous abuses of the government and its enablers, which have in the last decades been piling up, and gotten much worse during the Obama administration, the citizenry is more than angry; and it has had it! In the footsteps of our Founding Fathers, the American citizenry want a return to a free country and is prepared to take all just and appropriate measures to restore the nation to its foundational roots before it is destroyed by these arrogant, power hungry and lawless tyrants,” pleaded Klayman.

Freedom's only protection!
The only thing that stands between tyrants of treason taking Freedom away from the American people is the Constitution and the people's right to own arms. The current President and congress of the United States is hell bent on nullifying the Constitution and taking away the right to own arms from the American people. Too many U S citizens are buying into the lies and deceit of their elected officials. Face it, the administration, through the NSA and other spying agencies, has enough information to blackmail almost anyone they choose, including Supreme Court judges, congressmen and senators . This is not a conspiracy theory, it has become a reality. Time is critically short, if you do nothing you are an enemy of all that is moral or good and an executioner of Liberty and Freedom. So, who are you?

SC Sen. Lindsey ‘Flimsy’ Graham says he believes that the Republicans may be “in a demographic death spiral”. Sen. Graham, the only ones that may apply are Moderate to Liberal Republicans In Name Only (RINO) like you, Sen. Lindsey ‘Flimsy’ Graham (R-SC) who are attempting to redirect our Conservative South Carolina and other states to a more-Liberal Democrat Party.
You, Liberal Democrats, and RINO members of your ‘Gang of Eight’ want to add an additional $6.38 Trillion of National Debt to (y)our children, and their children, just to subsidize and grant ‘Amnesty’ to 11 Million ‘illegal immigrants’.
Sen. Graham was the Majority Senate Manager in President Bill Clinton’s Impeachment trial in 1999 for his removal from office; however, Sen. Graham was ‘ineffective’ in swaying some of his fellow Republicans and most Democrats; ending as a failure of removal on a 50 to 50 vote. SCOTUS did later find President Obama guilty to ‘lying’ under oath; denying him to ever act as an attorney in the US Supreme Court.
‘Flimsy’ Graham verbalizes that he is ‘pro-life’; however, ‘Flimsy’ Graham makes it clear how he votes contradictory to his own words, as he votes in support of President Obama’s two most left-wing, anti-Christian, Pro-abortion SCOTUS nominees ever, and others. Wasn’t it ‘Flimsy’ Graham who said in support of President Obama’s nominees, “Elections have consequences,”?
South Carolinians have a lot of good ‘old-fashion’ ‘common-sense’; an ‘element’ lacking in ‘Flimsy’ Graham. Giving credit where credit is earned, ‘Flimsy’ Graham is usually reliable in supporting our US Military, but isn’t he on that payroll, also?
There is serious concern asking ‘Flimsy’ Graham and others as to why should the USA send and/or provide our men and women of our US Military, any military equipment, financial resources, or anything else for either member side in the ‘civil war’ in Syria; whereas, both sides in this war ‘openly’ hate the USA and everything America is supposed to represent? Americans and/or our other resources should not be sent anywhere in the world, just to die.
It is apparent that being a US Senator must be a very easy job. With an assembly of taxpayers’ paid staff, ‘Flimsy’ Graham spends a considerable amount of time ‘chasing’ TV Media cameras.
South Carolina has many potential 2014 GOP Senatorial nominees who will be more respectful to their citizens, their political values and their principles.

How about passing a law that limits foreign aid to 5-shot clips?!

Jeb Bush at the recent Faith and Freedom Coalition conference said immigrants are more likely to start and succeed in small business than American-born citizens. I assume that in making such a statement there are the statistics that bear that out. Given Bush is correct, what does that say about our long-held belief in American exceptionalism. Granted, we have never believed that the American people are in any manner superior to any other people around the globe. Rather, we believe that American exceptionalism is rooted in the convergence of many fundamental concepts, e.g., limited government, free enterprise and rugged individualism, and the heritage of our nation and its unsurpassed Constitution.
How, then, is it possible that immigrants, not raised in this environment can nonetheless excel over our own people? How can immigrants, not exposed to all the opportunities granted the American people in the course of their growing up, out-perform Americans? Do Bush's remarks, in effect, constitute an indictment against our national education system? We have known for years that the education system in America, for the most part, is failing our children. The liberals and progressives who have exerted undue influence in the system for several decades now have left it in complete ruin. We hear and use the term "dumbing down" so much that we have de-sensitized ourselves to the problem. We have learned to accept lower educational standards for our children. We have learned to accept greater and greater costs to educate our children without accountability from those to whom the money flows. Now comes Common Core, the complete takeover of the education system by the federal government (meaning the far left). What little integrity and effectiveness remains in our education system will be completely destroyed by Common Core, as the system will complete the final leg of its journey away from a knowledge-based instructional system to a system of indoctrination and propagandism. But that is another discussion.
The truth is, American exceptionalism is not a "right" nor a guarantee. Yes, you can be born an American citizen, grow up in the midst of all that is America, and never be exceptional. American exceptionalism is not a birthright, but it is a standard. For to those who embrace it, who work hard and run the race well, their dreams are possible, albeit not certain. But possible is enough for hope, and it is hope that compels people to commit to dreams and to endure the inevitable hardships.
American exceptionalism is a support structure, if you will, that avails itself to anyone at any time who is willing to work hard. It is an American exclusive here for the taking. But it is fragile, and the assault on its mighty underpinnings by the far left is fierce and relentless. It cannot prevail under big government. It cannot prevail if the rights and privileges accorded us by the Constitution begin to falter at the hands of immoral men hungry for power and control over us all. Ironically, those who drink from the well of American exceptionalism are not necessarily those who are charged with its protection. Only Americans can protect and preserve American exceptionalism, handing it down to the next generation. Immigrants, though grateful beneficiaries, cannot participate it its preservation until they achieve citizenship status.
So, why do immigrants succeed while Americans fail? One word - motivation. Immigrants come to America knowing it is THE best hope in all the world where the freedom to succeed can be had. Our own children, however, are raised with an entitlement attitude that robs them of the motivation and personal responsibility necessary to compete and to thrive. For now, American exceptionalism is alive, however bruised. And it remains available to anyone of any background who is prepared to appropriate it for their benefit. If Americans are either unwilling or incapable to do so, then by all means, let the immigrants step forward.
Rubio & Schumer have a plan! Rubio-Schumer’s gang of 8 is going to make criminal alien invaders build a fence down the middle of the Rio Grande with a foundation to bedrock and razor wire soaring all the way up to heaven, all the way around the USA oceans, mountains & clouds! Imagine a criminal getting to the top, leaping through God’s door that says “free stuff” & down he goes, like a flaming streak of spit as he reenters the atmosphere... “Poof”! Rubio & Schumer are going to tax their $6/hr invaders to pay for it! If they don’t pay they’ll drown them in more free stuff and raise your taxes! The whole 8 gang is shouting, “Trust us - it won’t cost us anything!” Their “us” is them, not “us” citizens!
What do you think happens when legitimate employers pay $64,300/yr wage & taxes for average citizen workers when criminal employers pay $12,480 tax free for the same productivity to criminal aliens? Because the alien subsidy is more than enough for subsistence, the alien can send more than the cash tax free wage to their “homeland” completely outside our economy! Crime does pay… more than enough to buy favors that eliminate legitimate supply competition simultaneously with flooding the labor market to drive wages into a slave labor pool that guts citizen “worker” earnings potential!
“Average" jobless citizens lose $37,096 take home pay! Government loses $27,204 taxes (employer paid tax/regs. ($14,839 @30%) and employee tax ($12,365 @25%) – (Dec, 2012 BLS wage adjusted to 40 hours is $49,462)! Our maniac “oppressive” government subsidizes the jobless worker and the criminal aliens who take their jobs costs $73,091 ($36,545.50 each)! The existing cost today is $137,391 for every citizen replaced by a criminal invader! BECAUSE OUR EXECUTIVE-LEGISLATIVE OFFICERS WILL NOT ENFORCE CURRENT LAWS OR THE CONSTITUTION! IT'S $1.5 TRILLION EACH YEAR @ 11 MILLION AND $2.7 TRILLION @ 20 MILLION! Amnesty makes those costs permanent!
If there are no invader jobs, it all GOES AWAY! If laws were enforced the criminal employers and half of DC would be on a chain gang building their damned fence for beans & water rations; and there would be no one left to obstruct the laws to destroy this once wonderful nation!
Note, if you adjust the December, 2012 BLS to the 12 year 1997 through 2008 workforce population, the jobless rate is 25.8 million (16.7%) – over double 12.5 (8.1%) touted by progressives. Further, if 34.4 BLS reported work week hours are adjusted to full time 40 hours there is another 25.2 million jobs buried in part time employment, which puts the outer fringes at 51 million lost jobs and 33%.
The simple fact that 11 to 30 million criminal aliens @ $137,394 plus no one knows how many non-subsidized legal aliens @ $100,846 are displacing 20 + million citizen workers is undeniably high treason, especially when the only factual based claim is an overwhelming surge of mercenary “progressive votes” that will overthrow Constitutional government, by granting amnesty!
Check the numbers & references out – pass it on – Enforce truth and consequences on those sworn to uphold truth! Rubio & Schumer's motives are immaterial - what they are doing is demonic - a poison pill to all US citizens of all color and origins alike! Look at the national debt, SSI with $2 trillion instead of $100+ trillion, and all of the "unfunded" time bomb pension plans in the US collecting 0 interest in a time of double digit inflation spending!
Do sheep and goats have Fathers Day in the mid east for Muslim men?
Hello, calling Sarah Palin! Has anyone seen her? Where is she? Has Sarah Palin left the building? Is the Palin magic gone forever? No. The Palin charisma and mass appeal is still alive and well.
Certain people are born gifted with “It”; something that compels you to watch them. Sarah Palin is one such individual. Though politically tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail by the Left and a few spineless Republicans, I pray for the day when my favorite gladiator Sarah Palin returns to the arena.
Unquestionably, the vitriolic attacks on Palin and her family, the betrayals by Republicans and associates left Palin severely wounded. Who among us could endure and survive the full weight of the MSM launched to destroy you? It is quite understandable and reasonable if Palin were to say, Forget this. Todd and I are goin' fishin'.
But, the Bible says to whom much is given, much is required. While Palin has not reported seeing a burning bush, I believe Sarah Palin has been called for such a time as this. I pray she will feel lead to return to Rome (Washington DC) to fight in the arena. At the moment, there is no one in the national arena who inspires the masses to follow and act on their convictions in mass like Palin.
Please allow me to re-share my personal testimony of the “Palin Effect”. With Sarah Palin as the keynote speaker, Tea Party Express launched one of it's tours in Searchlight, NV, a small dust bowl town. Twenty-five thousand people showed up, RVs parked everywhere because many arrived days early to stake out their spot.
From inside our Tea Party Express tour bus as we approached the site, I saw seniors parked a mile away making their way to the event using walkers. It gave me goosebumps. Obviously, this woman, Sarah Palin, represented the America they loved and feared was slipping away.
Despite all of the scandals, lies, outrageous government overreaches and abuses of our civil liberties under this administration, Obama still gets a pass in the minds of far too many ill-informed Americans. Decades of dumbing down students have produced exactly what the Left wants, sheep totally dependent on government – clueless regarding U.S. History and the cost and value of freedom.
So, Obama can ignore the Constitution and do whatever he pleases as long as the food stamps, disability checks, welfare checks and free phones keep coming. Under Obama, an unprecedented half of the country is eating, talking on their phones and driving without working for it – a Democratic party dream come true.
I asked friends at dinner, “How did Ronald Reagan win in a landslide touting Conservatism? Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority was said to have figured in the mix. Americans, for the most part, are a moral and just people. I believe Reagan touting values which spoke to the hearts and minds of decent people is what inspired Americans to be all they could be.
I was a 20 something year old black kid from the East Baltimore projects back then. I knew nothing about politics. All I knew was that every-time I heard President Reagan speak, I felt good about my country and myself. Reagan made me feel I could achieve and contribute to this wonderful country in which I was blessed to be born called America.
Where are the voices inspiring folks to love and contribute to the greatness of their country? I know, I know. Such talk sounds corny and naïve today. In Obama's America, signing up for government assistance and approving of government confiscating the earnings of high achievers for redistribution is the new definition of compassion and patriotism.
Even being proud of our country is now considered to be a bad thing under Obama. When outside of the U.S. Obama continuously apologizes for who we are – furthering the narrative that the world has too little because we have too much. Amazingly, Reagan saw this mindset coming and warned us.
We need a hero folks – someone willing to stand up for America, boldly waving our flag and touting the virtues of hard work, self-reliance, family, God and country. I believe Sarah Palin can pull it off.
Reading my own words sound a bit corny even to me. Folks, have we become so cynical, so tainted that asking Americans to strive for goodness and righteousness rather than becoming permanent government welfare recipients is an outdated impossible dream of the past?
Sarah Palin, please come back. Run for office. We long to cheer you on as our gladiator in the arena.

If we lived in a time where we had a free unbiased government, press, and news media, it wouldn't matter, would it? Well, we are neck deep in overwhelming tyranny, and any word or sentence posted by anybody about a citizen, can and will be mined by progressives, our out of control government, government's media, or any other pervert to take it in or out of context to destroy anyone they want to destroy! Facebook tries like no other to know EVERYTHING about you and everything anybody says about you. So, if you or someone else enters t-party "anywhere" and mentions blowing up a balloon at a birthday party & you miss the "L" key, don't be surprised if the FBI, SWAT teams, & NBC surround your house & machine gun the dog if it barks!
Please fix it so members can post without inviting the Obamanation into the bedroom!
