If You Like Your Job & Pay Check - You Probably Can't Keep Them

Wow, it’s apparent that the Obama “savior” and his DEMS are once again looking out for their fellow Americans.  In fact, they’ve been worrying about Mr. and Mrs. or Ms. American working full time, so they came up with a solution for 2.3 million Americans.  

These geniuses decided that Mr. & Mrs. or Ms. American should get a reprieve and be demoted from full time work to part time status or it might be best if they even lost their jobs.  In fact they’re even spinning their propaganda today calling it a choice just for you – I call it a Saul Alinsky move preparing you for the next dump into the entitlement bucket. 

So in the scheme of things 2.3 productive Americans are now going to being placed under the watchful, caring arms of “Big Daddy” Government.  In order for these Americans to receive the Obamacare albatross, they will either go to part time employment or no employment – this doesn’t sound like a fair shake, but who’s allowed to question big Government.  Obama & the DEMS are much smarter than 2.3 million Americans – their message today is just shut your mouths and enjoy all the free time that’s headed your way.

Not to worry though Mr. and Mrs. America, if you lose your job you can draw unemployment until it runs out and you can get your cut of the food stamps.  Now, if you are demoted to part time employment that is where it might get a notch “sticky.”   Less hours = more free time + less income, but not to worry – you will be a recipient of Obamacare that is if you can afford it even with subsidies some will take a hit. 

But on the bright side – you may be able to spend your day at home with the kids, surfing the Net and TV growing plump on junk food from your new allotment of food stamps.  Just think, Obama and the DEMS selected you as the new kids on the block who now have more choices, more free time and less money and healthcare that has high deductibles and co-pays.  In reality what they have done to 2.3 million Americans is a travesty.

Obama and Democrats have once again attacked our fellow Americans.  They’ve snatched the American Dream from them just like they did when they took our primary care physicians, our insurers and hospitals from over 5 million Americans last fall. 

It takes a “hell” of a lot of nerve for the Democrats to get on National TV and spin the yarn that they’re looking out for us and giving us more choices.  Wrong, they’re destroying us and taking our freedoms and rights away. 

If these 2.3 million Americans were given a real choice does anyone think they would walk away from a full time job that was paying their expenses, putting food on the table and clothes on their children’s backs in exchange for a broken down non- functional healthcare package?

Here we go again America, if you like your job and weekly paycheck “you probably can’t keep it.”

ZERO Republicans voted for ObamaCare... and Republican VOTES, on any Legislation, has not made ANY difference in 6-years because the Democrats control ALL that Passed in the US Senate and is signed into Law by Obama... There is NO reason to ATTACK Republicans for their VOTING, e.g., they might vote YES on the Senate Immigration Bill because they KNEW that their Colleagues, in the House of Reps, were NOT gonna send it forward... Sen Republicans might VOTE like that to help keep their SEAT in the next election and to prevent being called "Racist" or anti-immigration in the Left's Propaganda Media Machine, etc... We must UNITE to STOP Obama.. !!!!  -- Perfect! The Republican Leadership GOT some sound immigration ideas OUT into the Media, which Obama would never agree to anyway, and then they were able to USE that POSITIVE exposure to CALL Obama what he is, a LIAR...

Good morning America – what’s the definition for those who ignore our Constitution, distribute our wealth, control our healthcare, spy on Americans, put our youth in harm’s way and use violent act to achieve a political goal.  Words that come to mind are dictator, terrorist, traitor and Socialist or Communist.

The political climate in our White House is hot, tepid and pollutants are in the dangerous zone.  There’s no signs of this political drought leaving in the near future, in fact the hot air coming from our White House indicates that our Government  is reeking with corruption, false ideologies, propaganda, double dealing  and  criminal misconduct.

Wake up America – we no longer live in the land of the free.  Our Country has been confiscated by a perverted group of people who have plans already formulated to bring our beautiful America to its knees.   We are not in control – we’re being controlled. 

We have A Commander in Chief who without a doubt is the most corrupt evil leader in our history.   In five years he has taken over businesses large and small controlling them and inhibiting their growth.  This person has stolen billions of taxpayer’s money via lies, propaganda, misrepresentation and abuse of our Federal laws.

There aren’t just a few red flags, there’s land mines intentionally and deliberately placed to destroy our rights, our freedoms and our Country.  His strategy to destroy our Nation is based on one principle – take power from the “Haves” and give it to the “Havenots.”  In order to implement his strategy Obama utilizes what most of us know as “redistribution” always disguised under the pretense of a moral necessity to care for the “havenots.” 

Good morning America – are we there yet?  "President Obama's anti-poverty efforts are basically to give more people more free stuff," Robert Rector, a specialist on welfare and poverty at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told The Washington Times. 

As he hands out the free stuff our National debt increases, our Nation becomes poorer, full time jobs disappear, dependency on the Government increases and we’re basically in “limbo.”
Barack Obama’s ultimate goals are listed below.

• Healthcare

Control healthcare and you control the people

• Poverty

Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

• Debt

Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.

Here’s but a few examples of the power, deception and manipulation that this person some refer to as “Mr. President” has implemented in the past five years.  13 million more Americans have fallen into the Entitlement society since Obama took office.  Over 15% of Americans are now in the poverty level and Obama is trying to strong arm States into increasing their Medicaid for the poor, which is paving the way for the millions of illegal aliens who are on our turf.

Americans are one “notch” away from a single payer healthcare system – Obama has already taken over our healthcare via Affordable Care Act.  It’s not a matter of when – it’s happened.  His Obamacare has had a devastating effect on businesses, private citizens, children, senior citizens and our medical field.

Debt is close to being unsustainable and it’s obvious that Obama still has our credit card in his hip pocket.  The House of Representatives either don’t care or are incapable of controlling our purse.

The CBO, just yesterday shared some crucial information with us – Obama in a blink of an eye has just added 2.3 million more to the “Havenot” society.  The “Havenots” will be Obama’s army because they are owned totally by the Government.  

Good Morning America – your children, your Country and your future are in danger.  It’s time to remove Obama and gang from our White House – this is a matter of life or death for the greatest Nation in the World.

George Eliot wrote:  "Blessed is the man, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact."  Therefore, I will only quote some of my favorite patriots for your consideration: 

"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."  Donald James Wheal [Marxism, eugenics, global chaos, ACA/Obamacare, welfare...]

"The last official act of any government is the looting of the treasury."  George Washington [Govt. bailouts, crony capitalism, Quantitative Easing, massive welfare expenditures, Obamacare...]

"Government is not reason: it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."  George Washington  [Patriot Act, Executive Fiat, the militarization of local police, secret armies, anti-gun legislation, the NSA, FBI, IRS, TSA, Homeland Security...]

"The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization.  Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning of human life.  If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development.  A tree with a rotten core cannot stand."  [Assault on religious freedoms, abortion, prejudices and bigotry, assaults on the U.S. Constitution...]

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

For nigh unto 20 years, America has battled to get its hands around the invasion of our nation by illegal aliens, most of whom come here from south of our borders.

In 1994, California voters approved, by a 2-1 margin, Proposition 187 which would have denied services to illegals. That proposition was eventually scuttled by Governor Gray Davis who argued that the law was too “divisive.”

20 years later, the nation is overrun with non-English speaking foreigners who decided, unilaterally, to move to the US, notwithstanding our borders and laws.

The US Congress has entered the fray with several attempts at fixing the immigration mess, mostly by caving into illegals who demand everything, in exchange for diluting American culture and language with third-world habits and language.

Throughout the years, politicians have sought to pass laws that would allow government to make that which is illegal and immoral suddenly legal and the “right thing to do.”

Oddly enough, over the years no one has proposed that the government do its job be enforcing the rule of law, including the deportation of those who do not belong here.

And so the crisis grows and grows. It is now estimated that providing services and goods to illegals costs US taxpayers more than $110 billion each year!

110 billion a year to support people who have no legal or moral basis for being here!

Yes, deporting 11 million, or 30 million, invaders would be expensive. But we could save $110 billion a year, or more than a trillion dollars over 10 years, by deporting invaders.

Americans should take to the streets to demand that the idiotic plans to grant amnesty be scrapped.

In it’s place, lets implement comprehensive deportation plans, buttressed by secure borders.

That is the right thing to do!

Redistribution Front and Center

Over the past five years our Nation has been attacked by Barack Obama and Liberals, they have been relentless in their strategy to create an army of the poor.  In 2009 Americans had a renewed hope that Obama would stand by all of his promises to create jobs, downsize the Government, insure transparency, secure the borders and use our stimulus money to start our economic wheels rolling.

None of these commitments were enacted by Obama; instead he concentrated on “redistribution” not with the intent of helping the poor sector, but to increase the entitlement society.  (1) Via EPA Obama put a screeching halt to job growth, (2) He continued his reckless spending policies knowing that our National Deficit would mushroom, and (3) In 2010 passed the Obamacare law planning to place our healthcare under Government control (one payer system.)

• During the last five years, unemployment sky rocketed from according to legitimate reports the unemployment rate in 2009 was 9.2% and in 2013 hovering around 14.4% or higher.  The unemployment rate during the Great Depression was 25% so the actual unemployment rate when you include those no longer looking for work and those working seasonal or part time jobs is most likely 20% plus.
• According to CBS – the National Debt has surpassed an increase of 6 trillion since 2009.
• Breitbart released information from Bloomberg government analyst that the Obamacare cost is over a billion dollars – this doesn’t take into consideration the subsidies and payoffs for insurers nor does it include the extremely high co-payments and deductibles of the consumer.  http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/24/report-obamacare-

In 2014 Barack Obama has placed “redistribution” front and center once again.  The strange disturbing thing is this - many of the GOP have joined him in this destructive venture by pushing for amnesty.  In the past few days the GOP continued Obama’s “redistribution” by passing the 956 billion dollar Farm Bill.

This bill has more sticky fingers in it than carters got pills.  This is what Mr. Wobbly (Speaker of the House) said as he jammed the bill thru the House.  "I've got concerns," Boehner said of the farm bill. "But doing nothing means that we get no changes in the farm program, no changes in the nutrition program and as a result, I'm going to vote for the farm bill."  Did it ever occur to John Boehner that he was hired to do a job not crumple every time the going gets tough?

Wrapping up here once again the Conservatives, tea parties and Libertarians have one viable option – take back the Senate and control the House.  In order to do this, we must unite and work together.  As long as all of the small clusters are content to go it alone and go their own way, we very likely will not be able to place good Patriots (men & women) in the Senate or the House. 

2010 was a great start, but the job isn’t finished yet and we’re faced with almost insurmountable odds, because the Old Republican establishment, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Liberals along with George Soros all pretty much on the same page in the mission to control us. 

We need a leader, someone who can unite the tea parties, Conservatives and Libertarians in the most difficult fight in our recent history.  Hopefully we can chuck our petty grievances and power plays in the garbage and work for a common cause, “taking back our Country.”

Remember Reagan’s 1981 speech when he said, “All of us came here because we knew the country couldn’t go on the way it was going. So it falls to all of us to take action. We have to ask ourselves if we do nothing, where does all of this end. Can anyone here say that if we can’t do it, someone down the road can do it, and if no one does it, what happens to the country? All of us know the economy would face an eventual collapse. I know it’s a hell of a challenge, but ask yourselves if not us, who, if not now, when?”

U.S. Postal Service Announces Giant Ammo Purchase

Post Office joins other federal agencies stockpiling over two billion rounds of ammo

Kit Daniels
Infowars.com
February 5, 2014

The U.S. Postal Service is currently seeking companies that can provide “assorted small arms ammunition” in the near future.

On Jan. 31, the USPS Supplies and Services Purchasing Office posted a notice on theFederal Business Opportunities websiteasking contractors to register with USPS as potential ammunition suppliers for a variety of cartridges.

“The United States Postal Service intends to solicit proposals for assorted small arms ammunition,” the notice reads, which also mentioned a deadline of Feb. 10.

The Post Office published the notice just two days after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced his proposal to remove a federal gun ban that prevents lawful concealed carry holders from carrying handguns inside post offices across the country.

Ironically the Postal Service isn’t the first non-law enforcement agency seeking firearms and ammunition.

Since 2001, the U.S. Dept. of Education has been building a massive arsenal through purchases orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

The Education Dept. has spent over $80,000 so far on Glock pistols and over $17,000 on Remington shotguns.

Back in July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also purchased 72,000 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson, following a 2012 purchase for 46,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point by the National Weather Service.

NOAA spokesperson Scott Smullen responded to concerns over the weather service purchase by stating that it was meant for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement for its bi-annual “target qualifications and training.”

That seems excessive considering that JHP ammunition is typically several times more expensive than practice rounds, which can usually be found in equivalent power loadings and thus offer similar recoil characteristics as duty rounds.

Including mass purchases by the Dept. of Homeland Security, non-military federal agencies combined have purchased an estimated amount of over two billion rounds of ammunition in the past two years.

Additionally, the U.S. Army bought almost 600,000 Soviet AK-47 magazines last fall, enough to hold nearly 18,000,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo which is not standard-issue for either the U.S. military or even NATO.

It would take a Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy, one of the largest cargo aircraft in the world, two trips to haul that many magazines.

A month prior, the army purchased nearly 3,000,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo, a huge amount but still only 1/6th of what the magazines purchased can hold in total.

The Feds have also spent millions on riot control measures in addition to the ammo acquisitions.

Earlier this month, Homeland Security spent over $58 million on hiring security details for just two Social Security offices in Maryland.

DHS also spent $80 million on armed guards to protect government buildings in New York and sought even more guards for federal facilities in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

While the government gears up for civil unrest and stockpiles ammo without limit, private gun owners on the other hand are finding ammunition shelves empty at gun stores across America,including shortages of once-common cartridges such as .22 Long Rifle.

Joseph Goebbels -

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

((29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was Adolf Hitler's Propaganda Minister in Nazi Germany. He also served as Chancellor for one day, following Hitler's death. He was known for his zealous and energetic oratory and virulent anti-Semitism.)

============================================

A Few Thoughts To Consider

.

Joseph Goebbels -

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Something to think about when considering Obama.

.

We are one network away from a police state. Think about Benghazi, the lie told around the world that it was caused by an anti Mohammed video, all the alphabet networks were reporting what came from Obama and staff as though it were gospel. There was no in-depth, dig out the truth reporting, no, they carried his water like good little soldiers. There was one much maligned and discredited network that would not follow in march step, FOX News. All the other networks were showing themselves as being all worked up over a video that had as much to do with the planed attack as one from any reader here, what did Goebbels say? “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.” The fact that four were mutilated and murdered by the religion of peace, Obama’s “BFsF”, were sidelined by excuses, Obama may as well have said well shxx happens, sorry about that, but FOX News wouldn’t go quietly into gullibility.

We are one network away from a police state.

====================================

Can any of you guess what’s on the horizon for the Lib’s to manhandle and destroy? They destroyed our healthcare system taking over 1/6^th to 1/7^th. of our national economy unto themselves. So what’s next, lets see, what else can these fanatics do against this country that has been so good to them? ….Lawyers….the next item on the agenda of freedom deprivation, the government will set limits on how much money the rich can use to defend themselves against the government. Now just to even the playing field, sardonically, the poor will be given the same kind of legal prowess, up to the cut off limit of course. But wait, the poor can’t pay for these lawyers as the rich did; so who do you think is going to pick up the tab? I’ll let you think about that for a second…… What has happened to our healthcare is about to happen to our legal system. We lose our rights, our freedom and pay for the privilege. Just think, one more black mark on our children’s and grandchildren’s heritage. I thought the idea was to always strive to leave for our children better then we got and a solid, safe economy with all their rights and privileges in tack?

Talk about robbing our kids piggy banks

Here is another little out of the Obama pocket of hop, skip and jump around the Constitution thing to consider. “Climate Hubs.” You have to love this Constitution skipping president with his little executive order pen and ready telephone. The farmers may look long at this but what about the coal industry and what has and is being done to it? I guess those that believe coal, oil and gas that run this country is antithetical to their senses; but what would they do, even for one day, without the blessing of it?

===================================================

Have you heard? The IRS is or will be given bonuses to improve moral, how bout that, a moral booster to the tune of 62.5 million. These characters getting bonuses for the pursuit and persecution of the American people and, these duds are heavily involved in the A.C.A. Makes you want to shed a tear doesn’t it.

===================================================

Now there is talk of “Risk Corridors.” yes, the next latest thing, the next wrinkle the taxpayers must iron out. Apparently if insurance companies pay out to much money on the sick they will receive a tidy little bailout package. It seems from our vanishing resources to their coppers. It is admitted this has been in the “ACA” law from the beginning; remember the monstrous set of documents Nancy Pelosi ignorantly proclaimed had to be passed to find out what’s in it? :

Many times I have written about Obama and Hilary Clinton and their unadulterated worship of Saul Alinsky and his “Rules for Radicals.”  There is one thing that wasn’t mentioned in my articles and that is securing the trust of the people. Obama and Hillary threw “trust” out the window thinking it unimportant.

Obama’s first few years were smooth sailing for the youth, African Americans, Hispanics and Liberals were gushing and literally idolizing and jumping through hoops for him.  His word was gospel to them and the Liberal News Media aided and assisted Obama never wavering just marching steady to his drum.

Hilary Clinton did the same thing during those first few years of Obama’s first term – as Sec. of State she slithered around traveling to and fro partying, wining and dining on our tab. Easy come – easy go!

 Let’s not forget though, Hilary Clinton is a tough broad with brass knuckles whose “rap sheet” starts in the 70’s and read like America’s most wanted. During this time there were murders, suicides, the Watergate scandal and she & Bill earned a devious reputation of body slamming anyone and everyone who confronted them or questioned their actions.

So let’s put the “Bobbsey Twins” (Obama & Hilary) in the same political arena. Both are arrogant and confident that they can slither out of any problem or scandal that arises, because they’re much smarter than Americans. Both of these individuals are adept at power punching their detractors because they have the mainstream media willing and waiting to finish off their prey.  Although no one knows for sure what the deal was between the Obama’s and Clintons; it was obvious to all that they had a deal. 

Hillary was to lay low, work on her run for President in 2016 while Obama paved the way for her to finish destroying our Nation.  Although Bill Clinton wasn’t happy about this arrangement, he reluctantly agreed to be a buffer for Obama and keep Americans in tow. Bill had big plans for Hillary. 

There’s one major glitch in their strategy though and that is the American populace, the hardworking middle class, the college students still waiting for jobs that were promised and the seniors who have had their retirement destroyed by their shenanigans. 

Obama lied to the African Americans and instead of bringing them out of poverty like he had promised – he deliberately took jobs from them, ignored their suffering communities and as time went on the African Americans became more dependent on “Big Daddy” Government joining the entitlement crowd.

But, the ones who have taken the biggest hit during his five years without a doubt is the middle class. He has attacked them from all sides not creating jobs, but destroying jobs. He’s misused their stimulus money redistributing it mainly to his green scams, big bundlers and the Unions.

While they were busy trying to keep food on the table he sneaked into their schools attempting to steal their children from them through what is known as “Common Core.”  Just a brief on “Common Core”  this will help everyone understand the illegal and over – reach of power that Obama has used to infiltrate our schools.  U.S. CODE § 1232A - PROHIBITION AGAINST FEDERAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION. 

Today CBO stated that the Obamacare debacle was causing havoc in our Nation.  CBO predicts this monstrosity is going to cost Americans 2 million plus jobs in 2017.  It’s my contention that there will be millions of jobs lost in 2014 way before the election in November.

Do to the horrendous cost of ACA, businesses can’t stay afloat without laying off employees and/or keeping them on a part-time status. This will intensify our recession, increase the entitlement society, increase the National Debt and add one more financial burden on those who are working.  Yes, all of this is bad news for Americans, but Obama and Hillary aren’t home free by a long shot!

The Bobbsey Twins have one of the biggest scandals in United States history lingering on their plates and it’s not about to be kicked down the road and thrown into the shadows by Obama and Hillary – the Benghazi murders will haunt them daily because Americans will not forget that they both were in charge and neither one lingered in the White House to save our four American men. 

They both lied for weeks about the attack blaming it on a “video.”  This is one time the smooth talking twosome will be held accountable –even the Liberal news can’t bail them out of this devious, evil political scheme.  No one will forget Hillary’s nasty remark, “What difference does it make.”

Bill O’Reilly interviewed Obama Sunday the 3^rd, 2014 and Obama lied again about Benghazi.  He pretended that he told America the day after the attack, that it was a terrorist attack.  Then why did Obama, Hillary and Rice for weeks keep blaming the attack on a video.  Simple answer - because there was a Presidential Election coming up. 

If Alinsky were still alive he’d be the first to tell them, they were doomed because they’ve both lost the trust of the people.  Without the trust of the majority of the people, you can’t fundamentally change a Nation.  They’ve both blown it – it’s only a matter of time now.

And the news for Obamacare keeps on getting worse. With the latest CBS poll showing a satisfaction rate of 7% for this program, businesses reducing working hours and/or employees to avoid taxes imposed by the program and sky-high Obamacare deductibles, the Affordable Care Act has become an anchor, sinking the American economy into an eventual watery grave.

To add insult to injury, the Congressional Budget Office (a nonpartisan group) came out today with the strong warning that Obamacare will reduce the American workforce by the equivalent of 2 million full-time workers in 2017. They concluded that the health law would lead some workers, particularly those with lower incomes, to limit their hours to avoid losing federal subsidies that Obamacare provides to help pay for health insurance and other healthcare costs.

For example, some Americans nearing retirement could decide to keep their work hours shorter to maintain Obamacare subsidies until they qualified for Medicare. Such a policy would thus "reduce incentives to work" and pose an "implicit tax on working" for those returning to a job with health insurance.

This policy goes against human nature. Remember, incentive is what drives us to invent, work harder and strive for greater things. Incentive is what makes businesses grow, creates jobs and expands the economy. Just like all of the current administration’s policies, Obamacare stifles the human spirit and hinders it from growing.

If you disagree with me and you are a working, taxpaying man or woman, ask yourself this question: has any Obama policy helped you? Has any Obama policy helped your business? Has any Obama policy cut your taxes? Has any Obama policy made your job easier? If the answer is no, it explains why our economy continues to stagnate and the divide between rich and poor continue to grow. Now ask yourself this: can American handle another 3 more years of this?

I just have to get this off my chest. It's been bugging me for years.

A retired Associate Director for Immigration & Refugee Services, and a USCIS board-certified Immigration Counselor for 22 years, from the beginning of the open-borders debate I've been annoyed by the widespread muddling of the textbook meaning of the term immigrant.

For the most part, this muddling has been intentional and has been perpetuated by the Left for the sole purpose of advancing its open-border political agenda. There is no other reasonable explanation.

Not surprisingly, the MSM and many clueless folks on the Right as well have either deliberately or unwittingly adopted the paradoxical and corrupted term "illegal immigrant" which both adds to the confusion and serves to unfairly legitimize the status of an "illegal alien", aka "undocumented alien" and to de-legitimize a legal immigrant.

The short of it is this: by definition an immigrant is a legal entrant. He or she was properly inspected and entered the country legally; thus, from a legal standpoint, describing a person as an "illegal immigrant" is self-contradictory for it erroneously describes an immigrant as illegal. To be clear, an entrant is either legal or illegal--an illegal alien/undocumented alien OR an immigrant. It is impossible to be both illegal AND an immigrant.

FYI: Those formally granted refugee or asylee status, a non-immigrant visa (tourist, working, etc), or immigrant status (family reunification case) are, of course, legal entrants. They were inspected by US authorities (i.e. documented), granted that legal status and permitted to enter the country legally. And only if a refugee, asylee, non-immigrant (visa holder) or immigrant violates the terms of his/her admission, e.g. overstaying one's visa or committing a serious crime, will his/her status revert to that of illegal/removable/deportable.

And this: from a sociological standpoint, all persons who enter the country may be correctly described as "migrants". Just as all citizens are not natural-born citizens, not all migrants are legal entrants.

Obviously, the use of term "illegal immigrant" merely adds a patina of legitimacy to an illegal alien's/illegal entrant's/undocumented alien's status. And, of course, that is the tendentious political purpose of many dishonest political hacks and word police on the Left, many of whom should know better.

So, please keep this differentiation in mind the next time you hear someone using the asinine term "illegal immigrant". Call 'em on it.

We are a proud nation of immigrants--NOT illegal aliens, overstayers, undocumented aliens, illegal entrants.  Pass it on!

And to Justice Sonia Sotomayor who said she was "insulted" by the term "illegal immigrant", here are your choices when describing an entrant into this country: illegal entrant/illegal alien/undocumented alien OR legal entrant, refugee, asylee, non-immigrant, immigrant. Confusingly mixing and matching terms to accommodate your "feelings" or political predisposition is both irresponsible and ignorant. As a jurist, the LAW must trump your sensitivities.

That's it! Gee, I feel better already...

From Colorado to Wisconsin -

It seems that, even when a school system can proclaim itself 'proud American' (Fort Collins HS in Colorado gave up the ghost of its denial of 'American Day' for the student body) the actions of another speak even louder:

Daisy Luther, Organic Prepper/The Daily Sheeple

The game is called “Cross the Line” and many outraged parents believe that it does just that.

A middle school in Marinette, Wisconsin got a group of 5th-8th graders together and organized a really fun game that asked students to step forward to answer “yes” to a series of highly personal questions. Questions like…

Do your parents drink?

Do you cut yourself?

Has anyone in your family been to jail?

Have you ever wanted to commit suicide?

Do you or your parents do drugs?

Unbelievably, school administrators believed that this “game” would help the kids to be better and kinder friends. “The intent of this activity was to build stronger, more respectful relationships among students,” said Principal Shawn Limberg. The “game” was part of an anti-bullying program.
