One of the most wonderful blessings about being born in America is that one is exposed to English, inarguably the greatest language in the history of human kind.
Think about: What thoughts come to mind when you ponder the word English?
William Shakespeare, modern civilization, freedom, individual liberty, intelligence, Democracy, prosperity, and success are but a few of the images conjured up in the minds of most people.
By contrast, what images come up when contemplating the word Spanish?
Instead of William Shakespeare, think Cesar Chavez!
Rather than modern civilization, it’s a third-world existence from 75 years ago.
Freedom and individual liberty are displaced by massive fraud and human rights abuses perpetrated by elitists like Felipe Calderon and Vicente Fox.
Democracy becomes socialist dictatorships. Intelligence is supplanted by mediocrity and incompetence.
Prosperity is demoted to abject poverty, and success is replaced by a society that cannot feed, house, educate, or provide health care for its citizens.
Fact of the matter is that the world has no legitimate use for Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese or any of the other machinations of language that haunt the planet with Babel and blather.
The ONLY language needed on this earth is good old fashioned American English.
English, and only English, can meet all of the world’s economic, social, political, environmental, and ecological needs quite nicely; adoption of it as the official world language would save the planet trillions of dollars currently wasted to communicate in less effective tongues.
Furthermore, requiring the exclusive use of English in diplomatic communications would greatly minimize misunderstandings and other language-based snafus that often lead to war.
English as THE OFFICIAL language of Earth: A concept whose time has arrived!

Has the Martin Luther King “Dream” Been Forgotten in Chicago?
By John W. Lillpop
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. must surely be rolling over in his grave with dismay at the behavior of some African-Americans with regard to the February 22, 2011 Mayoral election in Chicago.
As reported at the reference, some black members of the community are highly distressed over the fact that the race for mayor might be won by Rahm Emanuel or one of the other two non-African American candidates.
Danny Davis and Carol Moseley Braun, the two prominent African-American candidates, have even met to discuss strategies for assuring that the strongest African-American is left standing to do battle on election day.
That may mean that one of the two will withdraw from the
race and throw his or her support to the other.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson entered the fray by stating that
“ There must eventually be just a single black candidate who
appeals to voters of all races if there is to be any hope of
electing a black mayor.”
The Reverend Jackson also admonished former President Bill
Clinton to call off his plans to campaign for Emanuel next
month, a request also voiced by Candidate Davis.
Which makes one wonder if Martin Luther King’s “Dream
Speech” from August 28, 1963 resonates at all in the Windy
City?
The applicable quote from that speech is:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Have you forgotten, Chicago?

Whatever Happened to "Sí se puede?”
Satire (?) by John W. Lillpop
Remember the days when the streets of Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, and LA were taken over by hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens marching and, of all things, DEMANDING that they be given citizenship?
Illegals were supported by moon bats who argued that these impoverished peasants risked life and limb to travel across a hot, inhospitable desert just to come to America and clean our toilets, mop our floors, mow our lawns, and wash our cars!
For such uncommon acts of sacrifice, we the people were expected to receive the millions of invaders with open arms, and, more importantly, open wallets.
Illegal aliens cost American taxpayers more than $100 billion a year.
Advocates for illegals always fail to point out that invaders have a cultural tendency to drive while drunk much of the time, to steal public services to which they are not entitled, to commit heinous crimes, to speak a foreign language, and generally muck up the greatest nation on earth.
But back to Sí se puede, the battle cry for those poor, lost souls stashed away in the shadows, coming out only to march and riot on the 5th of May and other non-American holidays when sufficient beer is available.
Apparently, Sí se puede is no longer an operative term among the grape pickers and bottle washers who have invaded our land.
For example, according to reports, only 50,000 illegal aliens took to the streets in Los Angeles to ring in May Day in 2010.
Just 50,000? This was supposed to be “THE” big weekend for illegal aliens to march and demand.
Just 50,000? Good heavens, at any given moment, there are more than 50,000 illegal aliens in LA hospitals!
In labor, no less!
The City of San Francisco has more than 50,000 illegal aliens on the city payroll!
And ding bat Mayor Newsom married more than 50,000 gay illegal aliens on the steps of City Hall in 2004, for gosh sake.
On any given afternoon, there are more than 50,000 drunken illegal aliens drag racing through downtown Los Angeles, for Pedro's sake.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villagarosa was very upset by the low turnout and demanded a federal investigation.
The rankled mayor said, "I want to run for governor of California some day, but I will need a lot more support from the illegal alien community. This smells like a poll tax or other voter suppression tactic used by unsavory southerners."
"I want the federal government to answer some basic questions. Why were the six million known illegal aliens in Los Angeles not on the streets on May Day?
“Did the unconstitutional and Nazi-like SB 1070 law in Arizona intimidate Latinos and deprive them of their 1st Amendment rights?"
"I will not tolerate disenfranchisement of Latinos just because they are here illegally and are not eligible to vote.
Asked at White House press conference to comment on the low turnout, President Obama tried to reassure Mayor Villagarosa by saying, "Well, Antonio has got to learn patience when dealing with edgy illegal aliens. After years of dealing with these folks, I know that they are moody and tough to predict.
"But in the end, hand out the goodies and benefits, and they will come. And do it often enough, and they will vote!"
Well said, Mr. President! Good to know that the truth DOES make its way past your lips on the very odd occasion!
Want Immigration Reform? Adopt Mexico's Immigration Law Here!
By John W. Lillpop
SB 1070, Arizona’s citizen-friendly, illegal-alien hostile, bill has ruffled quite a few feathers, including those who occupy high places in government in Washington, D.C.
In the interest of harmony among Americans, it may be best to simply scrap SB 1070 as well as all fantasies about immigration reform held by moon bat Democrats.
We can do that and solve our illegal alien crisis in one fell swoop by taking one simple step: Implement Mexico’s immigration laws in America!
Mexico, according to journalist and terrorist expert Dr. J. Michael Waller, has some of the strictest immigration laws of any country, and they enforce them to the letter.
A link to his commentary.
http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/waller5-8-06.html
Waller informs us that "Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us as they press for the U.S. Congress to adopt the Marxist immigration reform bill."
Waller adds: "That’s too bad, because Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue.
Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico."
Waller sharpens his point by commenting on the unnerving tendency of some legal scholars in the U.S. to use foreign laws as a reference point for deciding issues in America.
Waller states, "At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem."
And whereas U.S. laws are often cumbersome, complex instruments fathomable only to lawyers who charge upwards of $300 an hour, things are more to the point in Mexican law.
Again, quoting Waller from the referenced link: "Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
• In Mexico legally;
• Have the means to sustain themselves economically;
• Not destined to be burdens on society;
• Of economic and social benefit to society;
• Of good character and have no criminal records; and
• Contributors to the general well being of the nation.
"The law also ensures that:
• Authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
• Foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
• Foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
• Foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
• Foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
• Those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison."
Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense," Waller states with unassailable logic.
Unfortunately, very little "perfect sense" is obvious in the ongoing debate on immigration reform here in the United States. Rather, the interests of the American people are often ignored or made subordinate by politicians from both parties.
Of greater interest to some in Washington, D.C., is feeding an insatiable corporate appetite for cheap labor, satisfying a wicked lust for cheap votes, and giving in to an inexplicable drive to promote America's decay into a third-world abyss.
These ignoble interests trump rule of law, homeland security, economic and social stability, and preservation of American language and culture in the minds of some elected officials sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.
By contrast, Waller notes that Mexican law and officials are focused on numero uno--that being Mexico!
Waller writes, "The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens – and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, both illegal and illegal.
"Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.
"It is an interesting law – and one that should cause us all to ask, 'Why is our southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent?'
"If a felony is a crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
"If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce them as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry."
Waller supports his main thesis by citing key articles of Mexico's main
law.
Again quoting from the commentary at http://www.citizensforaconstitutionalrepublic.com/waller5-8-06.html:
"We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.
"Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of
contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
• Immigration officials must 'ensure' that 'immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance' and for their dependents. (Article 34)
• Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets 'the
equilibrium of the national demographics,' when foreigners are deemed
detrimental to 'economic or national interests,' when they do not behave like
good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and
when 'they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.' (Article 37)
• The Secretary of Governance may 'suspend or prohibit the admission of
foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.' (Article 38)
• Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:
• Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration
authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article
73)
• A National Population Registry keeps track of 'every single individual who
comprises the population of the country,' and verifies each individual’s identity.
(Articles 85 and 86)
• A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
• Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article
116)
• Foreigners who sign government documents 'with a signature that is false or
different from that which he normally uses' are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
• Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
• Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
• Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico – such as working with out a permit – can also be imprisoned.
• Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
• A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five
thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country
illegally. (Article 123)
• Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico
instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
• Foreigners who 'attempt against national sovereignty or security' will be
deported. (Article 126)
• Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered
criminals under the law.
• A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the
foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
• Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)"
Waller summarizes his review of Mexican law with this statement: "All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration preaching is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States."
Waller concludes his excellent work with a challenge that should be visited upon all 535 members of the U.S. Congress and President Obama as they consider immigration reform.
Waller's challenge:
"Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy.
Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model."

Moving Beyond the Travesty Known as “Immigration Reform”
By John W. Lillpop
When Barack Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, American sovereignty, the rule of law, and preservation of America’s rich cultural heritage, including the greatest language in human history, fell dangerously vulnerable to extinction given the unprecedented power ceded to anti-American liberals.
On that fateful afternoon, both the Executive and Legislative branches of government were simultaneously in the hands of radicals dedicated to destroying the traditional notion of what it means to be American.
At that fateful moment, advocates of open borders and amnesty for invading criminals seemed destined to prevail against the wishes of the majority of patriotic Americans.
A huge amnesty for 12-40 million invaders seemed all but inevitable.
Thank God that grave moment passed without a smidgen of success for amnesty. The blessings continued when even the foolish DREAM amnesty was squashed in the last days of the worst Congress ever; namely, the Harry Reid-Nancy Pelosi travesty officially known as the 111th Congress.
Confirmation of the “worst congress ever” label came with the Tsunami of common sense ballots cast in November, when nearly 70 Democrats were sent packing.
Which means that when the 112th Congress convenes next week, both chambers of Congress will be less amenable to rewarding invading criminals with a path to citizenship, or anything even remotely similar.
This also means that the era of “Immigration Reform” is a failed, old school concept which deserves a decent burial to mark its long overdue death.
With even more carnage sure to further weed out the ranks of moon bats in the House and Senate come 2012, and the likelihood that Barack Obama will be facing a huge CHANGE of address himself, the time is ripe to begin work on the post-Immigration Reform Movement.
That means a dedicated effort by patriotic Americans to demand that the border with Mexico be sealed with military force, if need be, and that existing laws be enforced to the maximum.
Why NOT give rule of law a chance by:
( )Imposing severe financial and criminal penalties on business owners that hire invading criminals.
( )Rounding up and shipping out tens of millions of illegal aliens through mass deportations. The cost of such action would be paid for in one year, after that the nation would save ~$110 billion a year, or more than a trillion dollars over a decade.
Want to cut the deficit by more than a trillion dollars, upgrade homeland security, reduce classroom size, reduce the prison population by 30 percent, honor the rule of law, and preserve American culture, all in one fell swoop?
Then cut out the cancerous growth known as illegal immigration!
Take America back by ending the “Immigration Reform” travesty!

Is Barack Obama’s “Intellectual Stage” too High for Sarah Palin?
By John W. Lillpop
Republican presidents and vice presidents (and candidates)are repeatedly targeted by the leftist media which holds that conservatives like President Reagan, Vice-president Dan Quayle, President George W. Bush, and most recently, candidate Governor Palin, simply lack the intelligence and sophistication required for high office.
All have been described as intellectual light weights, while liberals like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi generally go unscathed.
The brutal truth is that liberals are simply not subjected to the non-stop, biased belittling that mainstream media sees fit to dump on Republicans holding high office, or seeking it.
For instance, Fox Contributor Juan Williams recently stated that Governor Palin is not able to stand on the same kind of “intellectual stage” as Barack Obama.
Intellectual stage, Mr. Williams?
It may be true that President Obama would score higher on a standard IQ test that Governor Palin, but Juan Williams does not know that.
Rather, Williams bases his assertion on the subjective notion that Obama sounds and acts more “presidential.”
Unfortunately, as the first two years of the Obama presidency have made abundantly clear, sounding “presidential” is simply not enough.
In difficult economic times, in times of war, and when the nation is struggling, leadership, judgment, and common sense are urgently needed.
Although President Obama can deliver eloquent speeches (when aided by high-technology gadgetry), he has been largely unable to perform effectively.
In sum: His policies and ideas have failed the American people, again and again.
All of which drives the question: Is genius overrated?
Assuming that Barack Obama possesses extraordinary intelligence while Sarah Palin is closer to ordinary, there appears to be a huge disconnect between IQ and actual performance.
For instance, would Sarah Palin:
Make closure of GITMO her first item of business after being sworn in?
Grant Miranda rights, civilian trials, and other privileges to enemy combatants—terrorists-- captured on the battle field?
Continually apologize for American policies and politicians while on foreign soil?
Dither in moments of great national significance such as the Afghanistan War and the Gulf Oil Spill?
Insult 275 million Americans by declaring that ours is not a Christian nation?
Sign a “stimulus bill” which added nearly one trillion dollars to the federal debt without providing jobs and economic recovery?
Orchestrate a Marxist take-over of U.S. health care despite the wishes of a majority of Americans?
Constantly assail private enterprise and business, thereby creating an environment of uncertainty and fear in the only institutions that create jobs and economic growth?
Refuse to secure U.S. borders and enforce immigration laws, and then sue a sovereign American state for taking action to defend its citizens from invading criminals?
Make vulnerable the dignity and esteem of the U.S. presidency by flying off to Glasgow in a failed attempt to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago?
In summary, President Obama may very well own an advantage when it comes to the “Intellectual Stage.”
However, in these troubled times, America desperately needs competent leadership and common sense. In those areas, Sarah Palin can more than hold her own against the failed presidency of Barack Obama.
Republican presidents and vice presidents (and candidates)are repeatedly targeted by the leftist media which holds that conservatives like President Reagan, Vice-president Dan Quayle, President George W. Bush, and most recently, candidate Governor Palin, simply lack the intelligence and sophistication required for high office.

The brutal truth is that liberals are simply not subjected to the non-stop, biased belittling that mainstream media sees fit to dump on Republicans holding high office, or seeking it.
For instance, Fox Contributor Juan Williams recently stated that Governor Palin is not able to stand on the same kind of “intellectual stage” as Barack Obama.
Intellectual stage, Mr. Williams?
It may be true that President Obama would score higher on a standard IQ test that Governor Palin, but Juan Williams does not know that.
Rather, Williams bases his assertion on the subjective notion that Obama sounds and acts more “presidential.”
Unfortunately, as the first two years of the Obama presidency have made abundantly clear, sounding “presidential” is simply not enough.
In difficult economic times, in times of war, and when the nation is struggling, leadership, judgment, and common sense are urgently needed.
Although President Obama can deliver eloquent speeches (when aided by high-technology gadgetry), he has been largely unable to perform effectively.
In sum: His policies and ideas have failed the American people, again and again.
All of which drives the question: Is genius overrated?
Assuming that Barack Obama possesses extraordinary intelligence while Sarah Palin is closer to ordinary, there appears to be a huge disconnect between IQ and actual performance.
For instance, would Sarah Palin:
Make closure of GITMO her first item of business after being sworn in?
Grant Miranda rights, civilian trials, and other privileges to enemy combatants—terrorists-- captured on the battle field?
Continually apologize for American policies and politicians while on foreign soil?
Dither in moments of great national significance such as the Afghanistan War and the Gulf Oil Spill?
Insult 275 million Americans by declaring that ours is not a Christian nation?
Sign a “stimulus bill” which added nearly one trillion dollars to the federal debt without providing jobs and economic recovery?
Orchestrate a Marxist take-over of U.S. health care despite the wishes of a majority of Americans?
Constantly assail private enterprise and business, thereby creating an environment of uncertainty and fear in the only institutions that create jobs and economic growth?
Refuse to secure U.S. borders and enforce immigration laws, and then sue a sovereign American state for taking action to defend its citizens from invading criminals?
Make vulnerable the dignity and esteem of the U.S. presidency by flying off to Glasgow in a failed attempt to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago?
In summary, President Obama may very well own an advantage when it comes to the “Intellectual Stage.”
However, in these troubled times, America desperately needs competent leadership and common sense. In those areas, Sarah Palin can more than hold her own against the failed presidency of Barack Obama.

Homo, in Time for Christmas
By John W. Lillpop
Aside from the question as to whether or not the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was in the best interest of America and her military, the timing of the repeal is most suspicious. Some would even call it queer.
Indeed, what greater affront at Christmas than to legitimatize a life style specifically prohibited, according to some, in the Holy Bible?
It would be like the U.S. Supreme Court issuing its historic Roe- Versus -Wade abortion verdict on Mother’s Day. Scandalous and an outrage, it would be!
In any event, Harry Reid, allegedly a devout Mormon and Nancy Pelosi, allegedly a devout Catholic, abandoned their respective faiths, both of which prohibit homosexual behavior, and worked to dump DADT in the days when the world was preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, Redeemer of All who repent.
Coincidence or deliberate timing intended to slam and diminish Christmas?

Unto Ye Is Born a Community Organizer, Come to Save the World!
Satire by John W. Lillpop
August 4, 1961.
A day that will live in infamy along with December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001?
Or should America be celebrating the birth of Barack Hussein Obama with the same gusto, reverence, and passion reserved for Christmas?
Do we Americans need a new national holiday--Barackmas--to celebrate this most special birthday?
Under this tax and deficit neutral scheme, everyone would get August 4th off. A small $500 "gratitude fee" would collected by DNC workers to pay for the frolicking.
If all of this sounds far fetched, please consider the following scrolls found in Mohamed Attah's safe deposit box at the Bank of Baghdad:
And He Shall Be Called Barack, The Anointed One:
"And it came to pass, in the appointed time, that a child was c born unto a humble servant of Allah in a land called Kenya. And the assembled 72 virgin angels tended to the mother and child, and sang in unison in praise of Allah for blessing the Faithful with this most holy of beings.
"And the virgin angels saith unto his mother, "Take ye this new born, the most favored of Allah, to an island where trade winds blow and birth certificates are fungible.
"He shall be called Barack, which means the Anointed One, and his birthplace shall be recorded as Honolulu to protect Faithful Kenyans from the ravages of evil crusaders, who will be known as "birthers."
"His powers shall be great and he shall be called upon to deliver the Faithful from the ravages of a dyslexic cowboy from Texas who destroyed many Muslims in order to shield Zionist pigs from justice.
"That evil man is the anti-Allah who hides behind a Bush to escape exposure. He must be blamed for all manner of sin and Barack must be held blameless for all woes to visit America, the home of the unfaithful and the land of the fraud."
"The Anointed One shall bring with him a sword with which to slay the moguls of capitalism and free the unwashed masses from insurance companies, Wall Street tycoons, automobile corporations and other agents of tyranny, except for labor unions which shall be rewarded and encouraged to multiple in great numbers, Allah willing.
"His enemies will be many and powerful, but none shall prevail.
"The Anointed One shall reign over America for eight years, or until the US Treasury runs out of money, whichever comes first.
"Go ye, therefore, two by two and preach the Gospel of Barack near and far to all who would hear you. To those who would not abide you, shake the dust from your feet and report the incident to the nearest ACORN center.
"Declare the good news to all, being this: On this night in a lonely mud hut in Kenya, Allah delivered unto us a child to rebuke all that malarkey about a baby Jew birthed by a virgin come to save the world."
And his name shall be BARACK, and he shall be Allah's gift to the Faithful.
Amen and amen!"

Of Course Rahm Can Run! This Is Chicago!
By John W. Lillpop
In a ruling that should surprise no one, the Chicago Board of Election decided that Rahm Emanuel can run for mayor of the Windy and Corrupt City.
Never mind the facts, this is Chicago where the mob and gangsta politicians run things. Rule of law is little more than whimsical fancy.
Logically speaking, it makes perfect sense: If a bloke born in Kenya and trained on the streets of Chicago can game the U.S. Constitution and successfully capture the White House, why not Rahm Emanuel for mayor?
The fact that Emanuel’s resume includes recent service to The One must have helped, as the Election Board no doubt took into account the threat of hellish retaliation from Washington should Emanuel be spurned.
So much for the vaunted CHANGE that Obama was supposed to bring to American politics!

Is START in the Best Interest of America, or Has U.S. Been "Snookered"?
By John W. Lillpop
Ratification of the New START Treat was achieved when the Senate voted 71 yea and 26 nay.
All of the chamber Democrats voted to ratify; they were joined by 13 Republicans.
Aside from the obvious question about giving a badly-damaged, and, some would say, dangerous president a last minute political victory, Republicans who voted yea should be required to address legitimate concerns:
Does START really “snooker” the U.S. as alleged by Senator Kyle and other respected critics?
Was the vote rushed through the Senate because of concerns about the political make-up of the 112Th Congress?
If the treaty indeed makes the world and Americans safer, why in the world would the 112Th Congress not be trusted for ratification?
Did the rushed vote circumvent the process required for a complete and thorough examination?
Has the defense of the American people been compromised to accommodate the political agenda of President Obama?
The last minute cajoling and chicanery in the Senate on START an unhealthy resemblance to the witchcraft used to pass ObamaCare in 2009.
The big question: Why would the world’s most deliberative and respected political body ratify a treaty in such a haphazard, rushed manner?

Of Nina Totenberg, Hate Speech, & National “Progressive” Radio
By John W. Lillpop
Nina Totenberg has always struck me a loosely-wrapped lefty, a moon bat poser more suited for work as, say, a telemarketing assistant for Dennis Kucinich, than as a journalist where, back in the olden days, objectivity was essential.
On an objectivity scale of 1-10, Totenberg scores a rousing 1, just slightly higher than the Bird Lady from Alcatraz and soon to be deposed Speaker, the forgettable Nancy Pelosi.
All of which makes Totenberg perfect for NPR which, because it has neither the talent nor business acumen to draw listeners, survives on welfare payments doled out by Democrat politicians.
Totenberg’s most recent offense came on “Inside Washington,” during which Totenberg committed a cardinal sin for any card-holding leftist.
Namely, she referred to “Christmas.”
As reported at huffingtonpost.com, Totenberg blathered on and on and on until she apparently lost track on her script and said the following, in part:
“And I was at - forgive the expression - a Christmas party at the Department of Justice and ….."
Nina Totenberg at a “Christmas Party”? Admitting such on a national broadcast?
Has she lost her addled mind?
Surely, Totenberg must realize that the NPR audience includes scores or even hundreds of Christians who would be highly-offended that an apology would be offered for using the expression Christmas, especially since the Christmas spirit is everywhere.
So, why is Totenberg still working at NPR? How is it that she has escaped the ax of PC that befell Juan Williams after his Islamaphobic rant?
One possibility: Totenberg's hate speech would be offensive only to Christians, an insignificant bunch of right-wing nuts in the minds of those who run NPR.
Another possibility: Totenberg is lily-white, while Williams is charcoal-black?

Celebrating an Amnesty-Free Decade!
By John W. Lillpop
Defeat of the DREAM Amnesty bill in the U.S. Senate marks the end of a decade in which no new amnesty bills were enacted into law.
This, despite the fact that the administrations of George W. Bush and Barrack H. Obama were, and are, decidedly pro-illegal alien and ardent advocates of amnesty for as many as 40 million illegals.
Those who supported the DREAM Act and the amnesty measures proposed by W., fail to recognize this simple fact:
Amnesty NEVER works! It ALWAYS entices others to come here illegally.
For example, in 1986, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCO) was signed into law by President Reagan. IRCO included amnesty for about 4 million illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico.
IRCO also included provisions for penalizing those who hired illegals and authorized deportation of “illegal aliens.’
Note that the term ILLEGAL ALIENS is not a derogatory, racist put down by right-wing nut cases—it is codified in federal law.
Since IRCO was enacted, another 12-40 illegal aliens have invaded America at a cost of $110 billion a year. This when America was involved in a major war against terrorism.
Defeating DREAM was, in effect, a line drawn in the sand.
Let this decision serve as a warning to politicians and illegals alike.
Namely, America operates in accordance with rule of law and amnesty for those who willfully violate our borders and immigration laws shall NOT be rewarded with a path to citizenship.
Let’s celebrate the amnesty-free decade of 2000, and remain diligent in our commitment to keep America amnesty-free forever!

GOP Should Stop START
By John W. Lillpop
During his first 24 months in office, President Obama has rammed two major pieces of legislation through the Congress without providing sufficient time for review and reasoned debate.
Obama argued that the urgent need for the Stimulus Bill and ObamaCare outweighed the need for prudence and oversight. In both instances, the legislation was fatally flawed with grave consequences for the deficit, the economy, unemployment, and the best health care system in the world.
Once again, Obama is crying wolf as it were, this time bleating about the urgency of ratifying the START treaty during the final days of the lame-duck Congress.
Much to the chagrin of the president, prospects for ratifying the treaty before January 4 received two severe jolts on Sunday when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would vote against the bill.
The other jolt came from Senator Jon Kyl who said the following, in part:
Kyl is generally regarded as an expert on the subject and one whom Republicans look to for leadership on this issue.
The burning question that the Senate must resolve is this: Is Obama’s desperate need for a foreign policy victory sufficient reason to ratify a treaty that “snookers” American interests?

Open Letter to Senator Sessions: God Bless for Your Help in Defeating DREAM Act
December 18, 2010
Dear Senator Sessions:
Over the past several years, Democrats have repeatedly worked against the interest of the American people by proposing legislation that would grant amnesty to ten of millions of foreign invaders.
During these battles, you are the one senator who genuinely speaks out in favor of American citizens and the rule of law. Your unwavering support has been a rallying point for patriots from coast to coast.
Once again, your efforts have paid huge dividends in defeating the awful DREAM amnesty act. Victory over those who would cheapen U.S. citizenship and the rule of law has been achieved, thanks in no small part to your efforts.
God Bless you, Senator Jeff Sessions, for your consistent, reasoned and powerful support for American citizens and the rule of law.
Sincerely,
John W. Lillpop

DREAM Amnesty for 'Freeloaders and Scam Artists?
By John W. Lillpop
Most liberals regard illegal aliens as “Undocumented Democrats” and a veritable gold mine of opportunity for holding on to political power by coddling to those here unlawfully and Hispanics in general.
For that reason, most Democrat politicians have abandoned patriotic concern about homeland security, the rule of law, stability of the American economy and social order, and preservation of American language and culture.
In fact, one can search high and low for a liberal with a patriotic, pro-America stance on illegal immigration, and that search will usually be futile.
But there is a notable exception: A U.S. Senator who has shown remarkable wisdom, foresight, and clarity, especially for a Democrat.
His office released the following statements (in bold) concerning illegal immigration:
“In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.”
The senator’s bill, titled the “Immigration Stabilization Act,” overhauls the nation's immigration laws, and calls for a massive scale-down of immigrants allowed into the country. The bill also changes asylum laws to prevent phony asylum seekers.
The senator said the U.S. open door policy is being abused at the expense of honest, working citizens.
The senator continued:
"We are a country founded upon fairness and justice. An individual in real threat of torture or long-term incarceration because of his or her political beliefs can still seek asylum. But this bill closes the door to those who want to abuse America's inherent generosity and legal system.”
"Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs. The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement. Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care, and other benefits often without paying any taxes.”
“Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally.”
Specific provisions proposed by the senator in the Immigration Stabilization Act include:
* Reduces annual legal immigration levels. Relatives other than spouse or minor children admitted only if already on immigration waiting lists and their admission does not raise annual immigration levels above approved level.
* Reforms asylum rules to prevent aliens from entering the United States illegally under phony "asylum" claims.
* Expands list of felonies considered "aggravated" felonies requiring exclusion and deportation of criminal aliens. Allows courts to order deportation at time of sentencing.
* Increases penalties for failing to depart or re-entering the United States after a final order of deportation order. Increases maximum penalties for visa fraud from five years to 10 years.
* Curtails alien smuggling by authorizing interdiction and repatriation of aliens seeking to enter the United States unlawfully by sea. Increases penalties for alien smuggling.
* Adds "alien smuggling" to the list of crimes subject to sanctions under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
* Expands the categories of property that are forfeited when used to facilitate the smuggling or harboring of illegal aliens.
* Clarifies that a person born in the United States to an alien mother who is not a lawful resident is not a U.S. citizen. This will eliminate incentive for pregnant alien women to enter the United States illegally, often at risk to mother and child, for the purpose of acquiring citizenship for the child and accompanying federal financial benefits.
* Mandates that aliens who cannot demonstrably support themselves without public or private assistance are excludable. This will prevent admission of aliens likely to be dependent on public financial support. This requirement extends to the sponsor of any family sponsored immigrant.
* Increases border security and patrol officer positions."
What sort of a Democrat would take such a politically incorrect--but morally and legally correct--stance?
The astounding truth is that Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) introduced the Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993. The statements quoted above are from a press release issued by Reid’s office on August 5, 1993.
How is it that Harry Reid was exactly right more than 17 years ago, but is so completely wrong now? Why does Reid oppose programs he once sponsored now that the problem is seven times greater after 9/11?
In the spring of 2006, while the U.S. Senate was debating legislation to make English the official U.S. language, Reid even saw fit to drag out the R word to slander those who supported the English bill.
And, of course, Reid has voted for Mexico and against America every time the U.S. Senate has considered amnesty.

A Sight to Behold: Lame-Duck Turkeys Eating Crow!
By John W. Lillpop
What is the best, most poignant moment of 2010 for conservatives to celebrate?
How about this: Watching Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi working feverishly into the wee hours to extend the Bush tax cuts!
Oh, what a difference an election can make.
Until the evening of November 2, Democrats thought they held a winning hand. Far-left moon bats like Nancy Pelosi were salivating at the chance to raise taxes on the well-to-do, thereby ruining one of W.’s most critical legacy items.
How sweet it would be! A decisive, final thumping of that simple, semi-literate man from Crawford, Texas.
Then a funny thing happened: On election day, the American people hijacked Nancy Pelosi’s House and turned it over to the GOP, effective January 5, 2011.
Similar action was taken with respect to the U.S. Senate, although not nearly on the same scale as the brutal thrashing unloaded on Pelosi.
Still, because the 111th Congress does not end until January 4, 2011, Reid and Pelosi and could wreak plenty of damage as lame-duck malcontents. There was still time to defrock the Bush legacy!
Enter President Barack Obama who quite literally pulled the rug out from under Reid and Pelosi and made a deal with the GOP to extend all of the Bush tax cuts!
Naturally, Obama’s flip flop caused great consternation among the loony left.
In the end however, it was left to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to carry the Bush tax cuts over the goal line for a stunning, upset victory for conservatives.

In the end however, it was left to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to carry the Bush tax cuts over the goal line for a stunning, upset victory for conservatives.
Lame-Duck Turkeys Eating Crow: HOW SWEET IT IS!
A 12-Step Program for Surviving Liberalism at Christmas
A 12-Step Program for Surviving Liberalism at Christmas
By John W. Lillpop
Surviving liberalism and the holidays without drugs and alcohol can be a formidable task. Mind you, it is possible, provided one has a strong recovery program and a vast right wing conspiracy to lean on for moral support.
The 12-step program for Liberals Anonymous (LA) follows:
Step 1: Admitted to being powerless over insane, illogical, and anti-American thinking spawned by liberalism which has made America unmanageable.
Step 2: Came to believe that a power greater than the combined forces of the DNC and the mainstream media could restore sanity to America.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of social and fiscal conservatives for restoration of traditional family values and common decency.
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of all liberals who must be removed from office, or prevented from securing elective office.
5. Admitted to ourselves and, everyone else who would listen, the exact nature of wrongs committed by liberals.
6. Were entirely ready to have conservative candidates remove all defective characters (liberals) from political office.
7. Humbly worked to remove liberals from elective offices in all local, state, and federal jurisdictions.
8. Made a list of all American patriot groups harmed by liberals and became willing to make amends to them all by:
* Winning the war on terror;
* Lowering taxes;
* Outlawing abortion;
* Restoring prayer in public schools;
* Amending the U.S. Constitution to reflect the fact that marriage is a holy sacrament between one man and one woman only, and to repeal the 16th Amendment;
* Outlawing deficit spending and gun control;
* Ending affirmative action, diversity training, and PC brainwashing;
* Pulling the plug on wasteful programs dealing with non-existent global warming;
* Making English Only the law of the land;
* Reversing all decisions by activist judges which forbid public displays of the nativity scene, Christmas trees,the Ten Commandments, the Cross and other symbols of Christianity;
* Dissolving the Department of Education and replacing it with the Department of Home Schooling;
* Eliminating welfare and food stamp programs;
* Reinstating the death penalty, including execution methods which cause condemned killers to suffer great and long-lasting pain;
* Nominating only conservative judges whom have been vetted by Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Scalia;
* Securing the southern border with 160,000 armed troops;
* Invading Mexico and seizing that nation's oil to compensate American taxpayers for public services stolen by 38 million Mexican illegal aliens squatting in the U.S.; and
* Reversing illegal immigration through mass deportations.
9. Made direct amends to all such patriot groups wherever possible, except when to do so would cause them to register and or vote for Democrats.
10. Continued to take inventory of all liberals and when they were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through talk radio and blogging to improve public acceptance of conservative values as we understand them, and to improve our conscious contact with eligible voters everywhere, seeking only to win the White House and conservative majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress in order to have the power to advance the conservative vision for America.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to all legal voters, and to practice these conservative principles in all our affairs.
To those too weak to adhere to this simple program, LA recommends that the suffering liberal either take up smoking or excessive eating until the urge to think like a liberal passes.
Remember, even though liberalism is a severe mental disorder, it too shall pass!

Open Letter to Senators Feinstein and Boxer: DREAM Amnesty
Dear Senators Feinstein and Boxer:
Those who support adoption of the DREAM Amnesty Act before the U.S. Senate argue that those illegals who would benefit from the Act are, “American In Every Sense, Except One.”
This argument holds that illegal aliens are unfairly denied access to the American Dream because they lack a simple piece of paper (Certification of Citizenship).
Senators, that ridiculous argument is a feeble attempt to cheapen U.S. citizenship and mock the processes used to govern migration to our blessed nation.
Migrating to America (legally) is, and should be, a long, drawn-out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens. It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps and other handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
Legal immigration means enduring rigorous hurdles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists.
It means medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here, and
It means proof of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers.
CITIZENSHIP INVOLVES MORE THAN A SIMPLE PIECE OF PAPER. IT REFLECTS AMERICAN VALUES AND COMMITMENT TO THE RULE OF LAW.
Those who have jumped the fence into America in order to avoid our immigration procedures are not immigrants. Neither are the children that the invaders bring with them.
In truth, people who come here illegally leave America vulnerable to undetected crime, terrorism, disease, and financial devastation. And they have no legal or moral justification for being here.
Passing the DREAM Amnesty Act would reward criminal invasions of America and would encourage millions of others to ignore our borders and immigration laws.
Furthermore, the DREAM Act would cause billions of dollars to be spent on illegal aliens when millions of American citizens are in financial and employment crisis.
Why should any money be spent to accommodate those here illegally when American citizens are in such dire need?
I urge each of you to do the responsible and American thing: Vote NO! on the DREAM Amnesty Act.
Please Remember: Illegal Aliens Are NOT “American In Every Sense Except One!”
Thank you for considering my input.
Sincerely,
John W. Lillpop

Message to Harry Reid: This War (Omnibus) Is Lost!
By John W. Lillpop
After wasting several precious days on an Omnibus bill numbering 1,924 pages, containing more than 6,000 earmarks, and spending $1.1. trillion dollars that we simply do not have, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid finally emerged from his cocoon of arrogance and denial by pulling the plug on the funding monster from hell.
In so doing, Reid belatedly answered the question 'Can You Hear Us Now?’ as posed by voters on November 2.
The answer, in a nut shell:
“Yes. We have scuttled the Omnibus bill and with work with Republicans to craft a ‘Continuing Resolution’ to keep the government running until the 112th Congress takes over in January.”
In simple terms, the addled Democrat from Nevada ceded the high moral ground to Republicans by essentially saying, “This war (Omnibus) is Lost.”
Congratulations and kudos to Reid for finally acknowledging that the 111th Congress is all but dead, a fact cheered by most patriotic Americans.
Reid needs to put an emphatic lid on the 111th by declaring the Senate to be in recess once the CR is approved.
Forget DREAM, Don’t ask, Don’t tell, START, and all of the other foolish items on Reid’s anti-American agenda.
Finally, the Majority Leader of the Senate can deliver a most wonderful Christmas gift to the American people by shutting down the lame-duck quackery and getting the hell out of town!

Behold a Miracle: Obama’s “Lesson Learned” on Taxes & Jobs!
By John W. Lillpop
In this, the season of glad tidings of great joy, nothing is sweeter to the ears of a die-in-the-wool capitalist than hearing our anti-capitalist, Marxist-smitten president literally beg for tax relief.
Yet, there he has been for more than a fortnight, groveling in the mud crying out for extension of the Bush tax cuts!
True enough, Obama’s initial, and genetic, impulse was to push for tax breaks only for the middle class, to be paid for by “soaking” the rich.
Soon enough, however, America’s wily Marxist realized that dumping America’s problems on the backs of the well-to-do was no solution, given the sense of fairness and zero tolerance for discrimination promoted by Congressional conservatives.
Out of necessity, then, Obama was forced to break bread with “hostage takers” who, in the proud tradition of terrorists hither and yonder, demanded equal treatment for those, who no fault of their own, are guilty of excessive success and ostentatious riches, bordering on plain filthy.
Viva, America!
Make no mistake about it, Barack Obama’s conversion to capitalism is strictly perfunctory, based on his selfish desire to enhance his prospects for reelection in 2012.
Still, it is huge that this inexperienced community organizer has finally learned that higher taxes are anathema to economic growth and creation of jobs. And to reelection!
In arguing for his compromise with Republicans, Obama’s words, approximately, were:
“We must not allow higher taxes to interfere with our delicate recovery and job growth!”
Sweet words, indeed!

America in Grave Danger: Time to Shut Down Government Until January 5, 2011!
By John W. Lillpop
By dumping a $1.1 trillion Omnibus bill on the Senate in the final days of the 111th Congress, Harry Reid and fellow Marxists have shown utter and complete contempt for the American people and the results of the November 2 elections.
Omnibus is vile piece of proposed funding for government set forth in more than 1,900 pages, which no one has read because the monster was released just days ago.
Asking members to vote on legislation that Senators have not read and which, given the late hour, will not be able to debate, sounds eerily like the sort of reckless stupidity that caused the American people to trash nearly 70 Democrats just 40-something days ago!
To add insult to injury, Omnibus contains more than 6,000 ear marks, which come with a price tag of $8 billion—billable to taxpayers.
Hmmm. 40-something days ago, did not the people say “Read Our Lips—No More Earmarks!” ?
Just what part of NO! do Democrats not understand?
Even more distressing, Harry Reid plans to force action on the START treaty, DADT, the DREAM Act, and lord knows what other lame duck nonsense in the waning hours of 2010.
With the very economic and political health of our nation at stake, responsible Republicans have but one option in dealing with out-of-touch Marxists like Harry Reid.
Namely, the GOP must garner all of its significant power and guile and wage a battle royal to affect the immediate and complete shutdown of all government functions until January 5, 2011, when rational people will take over.
NOTHING currently being worked on, from the Obama tax cut “deal”, to the Omnibus travesty is nearly important as ending Harry Reid’s ability to inflict further harm on America.
Republicans need to filibuster, filibuster, and filibuster some more in order to cut-off Harry Reid’s manic spending and legislative idiocy.
Simply put, the GOP has a moral obligation to say, “F the Democrats!” where F means filibuster.
Please, Republicans of good will: Shut down this insane lame duck before it is too late!

Kill DREAM Amnesty in Memory of Slain Border Patrol Agent!
By John W. Lillpop
Homeland Security boss lady Secretary Janet Napolitano is reportedly on the way to Arizona to investigate the fatal shooting of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry who was murdered near the Mexican border on Tuesday night.
Napolitano is the mindless advocate for open borders who just last April said that our border was as safe as it has ever been.
As reported, in part, at the reference, Napolitano said the following:
Once again, the Obama Administration continues to defend our third-world neighbors to the south and, in doing so, refuses to protect American citizens.
Brian Terry was an American hero who did his part to protect America and American citizens, despite the reluctance of Napolitano and Obama to do the right thing.
The brutal murder of Brian Terry must be a wake-up call to all the U.S. Senate: Our border with Mexico is porous and a threat to American sovereignty and rule of law.
Congress must not pass DREAM or any other amnesty bill that rewards criminals for invading America. We are supposed to be a nation of laws and legislation like DREAM undercuts our commitment to rule of law and ultimately leads to violent acts which cost Americans like Brian Terry their very lives.
Secure the borders, kill the DREAM Act, and end any and all talk of amnesty for invading criminals.
Do so to honor the memory of Brian Terry!

When It Comes to Illegal Aliens, We the People Are FED UP!
By John Lillpop
President Barack Obama
Members of the United States Congress
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Patriotic Americans all across our great land are flying the American flag upside down this morning, at least metaphorically, to signify that our once great nation is under attack and in severe distress.
At issue is nothing less vital than homeland security, rule of law, American sovereignty, and preservation of American language and culture, all of which are threatened by the latest amnesty legislation that appears to be gaining some acceptance in Washington, D.C.
Although the term amnesty has been carefully avoided, the fact is that the proposed legislation would legalize millions of illegal aliens who have thumbed their noses at U.S. borders and immigration laws for their own selfish purposes.
At a time when our nation’s unemployment rate is headed toward 10 percent and American taxpayers are being drowned in trillions of dollars of debt, what could possibly cause any responsible leader to even consider rewarding millions of invaders with American citizenship?
The proposed DREAM amnesty would reward break and enter criminals, while millions of others across the globe are penalized for obeying the law.
President Obama and prominent members of the U.S. Congress are even promising that the new legislation will improve border security and reduce illegal immigration.
With all due respect, simply legalizing illegal behavior hardly qualifies as a credible way to restore rule of law.
Ladies and gentlemen, the latest proposal indicates that either you are not listening or we are not shouting loud enough.
Just to make sure that our views are clearly understood, please be advised that we the people are FED UP with the attempt to undermine American sovereignty, homeland security, and culture.
In short, we the people are:
FED UP with the refusal of the federal government to secure our borders at time of war.
FED UP when armed Mexicans illegally cross our borders and assault Americans, yet our government takes no action, and refuses to even protest.
FED UP when Americans defending the U.S. from drug smuggling illegal aliens are sent to federal prison, while invading criminals are to be forgiven via amnesty for violating our borders and laws.
FED UP with the fact that upwards of 30 million illegal aliens are currently in America, costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
FED UP with a president who orders thousands of young Americans into harm’s way thousands of miles from home, but who refuses to secure America.
FED UP with politicians who refuse to enforce immigration laws and who claim it is “impossible” to deport criminals here illegally.
FED UP with illegal aliens who can not and/or will not speak English.
FED UP with taxpayer dollars being wasted to print documents in foreign languages.
FED UP with illegal aliens who dump their medical bills on the backs of U.S. taxpayers, but who send $30-40 billion a year back to Mexico each year.
FED UP with the fact that providing free medical services to illegal aliens drives hospitals out of business, making those facilities unavailable to American citizens for whom the medical centers were intended.
FED UP with our schools being invaded by non-English speaking children who impede the learning process of students who genuinely belong here.
FED UP with the fact that federal, state, and local penal systems are overrun by illegal aliens, again costing taxpayers billions each year.
FED UP with the fact that, on average, illegal aliens kill 12 Americans every day.
FED UP with the fact that the overwhelming majority of felony crimes being investigated in Los Angeles have been committed by illegals from Mexico.
FED UP with politicians who refuse to round up and deport millions of illegal aliens who are destroying American culture and language.
FED UP with politicians who pamper illegal aliens with driver’s licenses and free public services, which encourage even more invaders to come to America.
FED UP with the attempted Mexicanization of America. Mexico is a third- world slum, and we are FED UP with those who want America to be like Mexico!
Finally, Mr. President and members of the U.S. Congress, we the people are FED UP with those who consistently work on behalf of illegal aliens and the state of Mexico, and against the interests of the American people!
Please do not underestimate the dissatisfaction and rage swelling in the hearts of patriotic Americans on this vital issue.
We the people DEMAND our great country back!
Time to deport, rather than reward, invading criminals!

Mr. President, Your Helicopter Is Ready!
By John W. Lillpop
With the nation, his presidency, and the American democracy in shambles, is it not time for Barack Hussein Obama to face reality and spare the nation yet another two years of grief?
From out-of -control spending resulting in trillions of dollars added to the deficit,to Marxist programs repulsive to most Americans, to double-digit unemployment, to programs that promote class and racial warfare, to complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement, and to inept and naïve mismanagement of foreign affairs, Barack Obama has done enough damage to America.
Unfortunately, this human wrecking ball with a degree from Harvard and a birth certificate from Kenya has the legal right to stay in office for another two years.
However, common sense compels one to shout, “Enough is enough!”
Barack Obama has lost his mind. He can no longer be trusted with national security or important functions that require mature judgment. He has zero credibility with the public, Congress and the world.
Barack Obama needs to leave Washington, D.C. as soon as possible. Waikiki Beach is calling and Barack Obama is urgently needed there.
-----------------------------------------------
Learning from History:.
In 1974, America was confronted with a rascal in the White House by the name of Richard M. Nixon. Unfortunately, Nixon was a despicable crook.
But in 1974, the Republican Party was blessed to have a few leaders with cajoles and a passion for America. Those noble Republicans walked into the White House at an appropriate time and let Nixon know that his time had elapsed and that, in the interests of the nation and himself, it was time to go.
To his credit, Richard M. Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning the presidency. On August 9, 1974, President Nixon boarded an Air Force helicopter on the lawn of the White House and made his way home to California.
America was grateful for the fact that our "national nightmare was over" and the healing process began immediately
Today's challenge: America needs three or four Democrats with cajoles to deliver a Nixon-like message to Barack Obama.
Namely, “Mr. President, Your Helicopter is Ready!"
By leaving now, Mr. Obama can accomplish the most noble and patriotic act of his presidency.
And America can begin healing.

Estate Tax Row Exposes Marxist Hatred for Capitalism
By John W. Lillpop
Liberals, especially those in Nancy Pelosi’s House, are reportedly violently angry about President Obama’s “deal” with Republicans which sets the estate tax at 35% for estates valued at over $5 million dollars.
Moon bats wanted a 45% tax to kick in for estates valued over 3.5 million.
Liberals were so incensed by the proposed “break” for the dead that, for a while, it seemed as though this issue alone could doom the Obama-GOP deal altogether.
Cooler heads have since prevailed, and it now appears the House will pass the Senate approved bill which includes the less onerous tax on the dead. Just for the record, Pelosi ET AL. will waste valuable time conducting superfluous debates and votes with no chance of passing, just to showcase the “sanctimonious purism” that afflicts moon bat Democrats.
The amazing thing is that Pelosi and the left would play “chicken” with the health of the overall economy and jobs creation over how much of their already overly-taxed money the well-to-do can pass on to beneficiaries.
Someone with good sense needs to ask air heads like Pelosi: How many transactions are involved? How much money is at stake?
In addition, someone should challenge the constitutional right of a tyrannical mob (liberals) to steal money from the heirs of successful Americans.
If it is unconstitutional for government to mandate that citizens buy health insurance or face punishment at the hands of the IRS, surely it must be just as unconstitutional for government to deny our most successful citizens the right to pass on the legacy of success without paying a ridiculous tax to a government that will dole out stolen monies to illegal aliens, welfare cheats, and other unsavory types who do not have the talent or desire to work.
Taxing the dead must surely be the most egregious example of taxation without representation in U.S. history!

In addition, someone should challenge the constitutional right of a tyrannical mob (liberals) to steal money from the heirs of successful Americans.
If it is unconstitutional for government to mandate that citizens buy health insurance or face punishment at the hands of the IRS, surely it must be just as unconstitutional for government to deny our most successful citizens the right to pass on the legacy of success without paying a ridiculous tax to a government that will dole out stolen monies to illegal aliens, welfare cheats, and other unsavory types who do not have the talent or desire to work.
Taxing the dead must surely be the most egregious example of taxation without representation in U.S. history!

Thanks to Virginia, There IS a Santa Clause!
By John W. Lillpop
In this, the season for giving and spreading good cheer, a federal judge in Virginia has taken on the role of Kris Kringle, AKA Santa Clause, by ruling against the tyranny set forth in ObamaCare.
As reported, in part, at the link Judge Hudson declared what everyone except Barack Obama accepts as true: ObamaCare Is Unconstitutional!
This ruling is a powerful first step in removing the shackles of Marxist health care from the throats of American citizens.
Oh, and, Yes Virginia, There IS a Santa Clause and He Hails From Virginia!

As reported, in part, at the link Judge Hudson declared what everyone except Barack Obama accepts as true: ObamaCare Is Unconstitutional!
RICHMOND, Va. – A federal judge in Virginia has declared the Obama administration's health care reform law unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson is the first judge to rule against the law, which has been upheld by two others in Virginia and Michigan.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed the lawsuit challenging the law's requirement that citizens buy health insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014.
He argues the federal government doesn't have the constitutional authority to impose the requirement.
Other lawsuits are pending, including one filed by 20 states in a Florida court. Virginia is not part of that lawsuit.
The U.S. Justice Department and opponents of the health care law agree that the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word.”
This ruling is a powerful first step in removing the shackles of Marxist health care from the throats of American citizens.
Oh, and, Yes Virginia, There IS a Santa Clause and He Hails From Virginia!

Christmas NOT About Crowded Malls and Maxed-out Credit Cards!
By John W. Lillpop
Progressives who continue to work for the total secularization of Christmas fail to accept the true meaning of the most cherished religious holiday in western culture.
Christmas is celebrated to herald the birth of Jesus Christ and the subsequent spread of the Gospel, which has gifted all of humanity with a new morality, the concept of individual freedom, and the belief that human equality is a gift from God.
America's Declaration of Independence confirms that truth with the words, " As we are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights."
Dinesh D’Souza, author of, What’s So Great About Christianity, delivered a powerful speech titled, Created Equal How Christianity Shaped the West, September 16, 2008, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Colorado Springs.
In his speech, D’Souza states that, "Christianity is largely responsible for many of the principles and institutions that even secular people relish--chief among them equality and liberty."
For a scholarly reflection on the real meaning of Christmas, read the D'Souza speech at the link below.+
And Merry Christmas!

Pelosi's Anti-American Attitude Regarding Illegal Aliens
By John W. Lillpop
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Shreeker of the U.S. House for 19 more days, vehemently objects to use of the term "illegal aliens" to describe--well, illegal aliens.
Like most smitten-by-absurd liberals, Pelosi prefers the term "undocumented."
As in "undocumented Democrats."
As reported in the media two years ago,
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is 'un-American.'
The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the immigrants she was addressing as 'very, very patriotic.'
'Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?' Pelosi told a mostly Hispanic gathering at St. Anthony's Church in San Francisco."
Pelosi's tirade is typical of the leftist nonsense for which she is renown.
Calling illegal aliens "very, very patriotic" raises two obvious questions:
1. Because they come here illegally and are not subjected to the background, criminal, financial, and medical examinations required of people who obey the law, no one, Pelosi included, knows a damn thing about these people, except that they have no business being in America and are a huge drain on taxpayers.
How in the world can invaders be described as "very, very patriotic" by anyone with even the slightest grip on reality?
2. "Patriotic" to whom, Speaker Pelosi? Illegal aliens refuse to learn English, do not accept American culture, and remain loyal to Mexico, their third world, failed state.
As to her question, "'Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of the night and sending a parent away from their families?" the answer is a resounding:
All who give a damn about rule of law and American sovereignty and culture!
Not counting Hispanic racists and Marxists like Pelosi, that adds up to a majority of American citizens!

San Francisco: Where Fireplaces and Christmas Are Unwelcome
<
By John W. Lillpop
Just how kooky is San Francisco?
The short answer: Think Nancy Pelosi.
In most civilized communities, Nancy Pelosi would be strapped to a padded cell and given insulin treatment every hour, shock therapy every two hours. For security purposes, she would be banned from stepping foot in any local, state or federal government building for any purpose whatsoever, except to execute documents needed to effect her permanent and irrevocable deportation to India or Pakistan.
But this is San Francisco, nut ball capitol of the civilized world. A place so bizarre that Nancy Pelosi is regarded as a hero, and is reelected time and time again.
Remember that voters in San Francisco made it possible for Pelosi to be within an irregular heartbeat and justifiable impeachment of moving into the Oval Office.
Try saying President Nancy Pelosi twice without a barf bag at the ready!
Still, Nancy Pelosi is not alone in her goofy politics and liberalism bordering on outright insanity. San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom, in conspiracy with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, have also made history by using Sesame Street as their model in shaping the City Charter.
Among the more egregious decisions by San Francisco elected officials are the following dillies:
* Sanctioned same sex marriages despite state law and a voter mandate.
* Refused to allow the USS Iowa to dock in San Francisco waters.
* Attempted to prevent the world famous Blue Angels from performing.
* Censored conservative radio talk show Michael Savage.
* Tried to convert dog poop into electrical power.
* Approved ID cards for illegal aliens.
And just in time for Christmas, the Lords of Folly have initiated a ban on fireplaces. You see, fireplaces are considered a serious air pollution threat here, even though most family hearths are rarely fired up more than three or four times a year, and then normally only for family photos and videos.
Still, making headlines in the war against environmental neglect is more important than fact, science, or other bothersome details to politicians who share Nancy Pelosi's outrageous political perspective and bias.
As they say, "Only In San Francisco."
To which one can gratefully add, "Thank God!"
Mass Firings of Illegal Aliens a Welcome First Step, Especially at Christmas
By John W. Lillpop
While the U.S. Senate wastes valuable time pondering the hideous, anti-American DREAM Act, illegal aliens in Minnesota are being subjected to justice and the rule of law, long overdue and especially appropriate at Christmas when the needs of American citizens should be the most important priority.
As reported at reference 1, Chipotle eateries in Minnesota have engaged in mass firings of illegal aliens:
RICHFIELD (WCCO) – A Minnesota immigration rights group is protesting what it calls “mass firings” of Chipotle workers. According to the group, around 50 of the restaurant’s Latino workers have been fired in the last week.
The Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), a local group that fights for the legalization of undocumented workers, says employees at local Chipotle stores came forward, saying they were fired over questions about their immigration status.
“We started to piece together there was something larger going on than a few people fired at one store,” said MIRAC member Brad Sigal. “It appears to be a statewide attack on immigrant worker who are longtime employees most of them been working there for years.”
As is usual with leftist groups that advocate for illegal aliens, the official rhetoric deliberately avoids mention of the word ILLEGAL when describing the plight of the “undocumented.”
Sigal went on to say the following as also documented in the reference:
“It is an I-9 audit,” said Sigal. “They check the paperwork and fire anyone who can’t immediately prove they have the right to work. An action like this on a mass scale before the holidays is not consistent with the image they have cultivated.”
“In a statement, Chipotle said, “We are fully cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minnesota in connection with a document request they have made.”
While Chipotle deserves kudos for finally doing the right thing, the federal government needs to take severe measures—fines and prison sentences for the management-- against the firm for hiring illegal aliens to begin with.
Combined with immediate deportation of the illegals, coming down hard on Chipotle is essential to putting an end to the invasion of America by criminals from Mexico and other points south of our borders.
What better time than Christmas than to protect the interests of American citizens from invading illegal aliens from foreign sources?

Oh, and by the way Santa, I have been especially nice this year—so pony up with the goods, pal!
Message to Illegal Aliens: Go HOME for Christmas, and Do NOTCome Back!
by John W. Lillpop
Growing up in a Christian home, I was taught that it is especially important to be charitable and giving at Christmas in honor of the birth, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
However, to the best of my recollection, my parents did not advocate stupidity at Christmas, or at any other time of year for that matter.
For example, although my mother lectured me about not wasting food because people in China were starving, I do not recall that she favored bringing tens of millions of non-English speaking Chinese into America illegally so that we could take care of them.
But we were poor, so perhaps my perspective is skewed.
Unlike my parents, President Obama and the Democrat party in general, along with the mainstream media, seem totally committed to stupidity when it comes to illegal immigration.
Indeed, Obama and his Marxist associates seem to have greater regard for illegal aliens than for hardworking, taxpaying American citizens, apparently based on the foolish notion that illegals are hardworking, goodhearted folks who should be granted citizenship because they come only in pursuit of a better life.
With all due respect to the president,“pursuing a better life” is the universal excuse used by bank robbers, home burglars, auto thieves, extortionists, drug dealers, forgers, ACORN volunteers, and other criminals to justify taking that to which they are not entitled.
Should we grant pardons to all such criminals, and welcome them carte blanche into mainstream American life? And if such a foolish policy were implemented, what would stop others from simply taking what they desire without regard to ownership, morality, or fairness?
Moreover, some startling facts and figures from the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets should cause any sane person to question the president’s judgment when it comes to criminals from Mexico.
For example:
* 40% of workers in Los Angeles County work for cash and pay no taxes, because they are predominantly illegal aliens without green cards.
* 95% of murder warrants issued in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
* 75% of those on the “most wanted” list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
* Over 67% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal aliens.
(Mexican births paid for by U.S. taxpayers.)
* Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are here illegally.
* Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
* 50% of gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border, according to FBI reports.
* 60% of all occupants in HUD properties are illegal aliens.
* 21 radio stations in Los Angeles are Spanish-language.
* In Los Angeles County, 5.1 million people speak English, while
3.9 million speak Spanish.
* Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
* In 1997, the net cost of immigration to American taxpayers was $70 billion. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services received) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative number.
* 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
Isn’t it time for the Democrat party to forsake their patriarchal concern for illegal aliens and focus instead on protecting the interests of the American people as required by the U.S. Constitution?

Can Pall Mall Cigarettes Salvage Obama Presidency?
By John W. Lillpop
Tobacco is a powerful, insidiously evil, substance which addicts its victims both emotionally and physically; whereupon the heart and lungs are attacked until death frees the addicted from relentless pain and misery.
Unfortunately, quitting tobacco abruptly is an incredibly difficult challenge, especially for people of color, those sympathetic to Marxism, and, most particularly, to those born in Kenya.
Any combination of these conditions can render it damn near impossible to kick the smoke habit.
Efforts to quit abruptly without professional help often result in raw nerves, emotional outbursts, irrational language, and uncooperative, combative behavior.
Speaking of which, in a number of situations recently, President Obama has exhibited the sort of free-floating rage which is commonly the result of abrupt nicotine withdrawal.
Calling progressives “Sanctimonious Purists” and conservatives “Hostage Takers” as Obama did, is quite typical in one who is fighting himself and the urge to sneak a quick puff in the Rose Garden of the White House.
Having a job which demands that he act NOW on high unemployment, expiring tax cuts, revolutions by members of his own party, North Korea, Iran, elusive peace between Israel and the Palestinians, a double-dip recession, gays in the military, illegals everywhere, and other gut-wrenching issues of the day do not make it easy for Obama to cope without the soothing flow of poisonous smoke throughout his being.
However, all things considered, it might be best if Obama would abandon his selfish obsession with his lungs and heart and make the sacrifices needed to help all of America.
That means quitting the quitting, Mr. President. In other words, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette!
Do it for the children, sir!
Big Bro Loses Track of 119,000 Planes: Still Trust Obama with YOUR Health Care?
By John W. Lillpop
This just in:
The Obama government, which just days ago lost 250,000 confidential documents, including many which exposed vital national security information, is missing data on 119,000 private and commercial aircraft.
Thanks right, bunny, while the TSA is engaged in fondling, genital groping, and other sexual abuses in the name of homeland security, the Obama-FAA lost control over 119,000 planes that could be used by terrorists.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
Given these facts, are you sure that you trust government to handle the nitty-gritty of your health care needs?

As reported, in part, at the reference:
NEW YORK - The Federal Aviation Administration is missing key information on who owns one-third of the 357,000 private and commercial aircraft in the U.S. — a gap the agency fears could be exploited by terrorists and drug traffickers.
The records are in such disarray that the FAA says it is worried that criminals could buy planes without the government's knowledge, or use the registration numbers of other aircraft to evade new computer systems designed to track suspicious flights. It has ordered all aircraft owners to re-register their planes in an effort to clean up its files.
About 119,000 of the aircraft on the U.S. registry have "questionable registration" because of missing forms, invalid addresses, unreported sales or other paperwork problems, according to the FAA. In many cases, the FAA cannot say who owns a plane or even whether it is still flying or has been junked.
Already there have been cases of drug traffickers using phony U.S. registration numbers, as well as instances of mistaken identity in which police raided the wrong plane because of faulty record-keeping.
Given these facts, are you sure that you trust government to handle the nitty-gritty of your health care needs?

House Democrats Shout, “F the President”--Now, THAT Is a BFD!
By John W. Lillpop
Just two short years ago, Democrats on the far-left, aided and abetted by mainstream media pundits, were heralding the election of Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency as nothing short of a miracle, one that would usher in an era of economic stability, world peace, political civility, and equal justice.
We were to be blessed with Utopia just as soon as the keys to the White House were extracted from the bumbling, semi-literate, war-mongering George W. Bush and handed over to The One.
The Age of Obama promised to bring healing to a nation battered by partisan rancor, racial strife, and class warfare.
Oops!
Two years later:
Sixty-nine Democrat seats were lost in the 2010 mid-term elections, including the Illinois seat formerly held by Barack Obama;
Obama’s approval rating is lower than that of the revitalized W.
In funding the government, House Democrats specifically prohibited Obama from closing GITMO, one of his favorite campaign pledges;
Progressives have rejected Obama’s compromise agreement with the GOP concerning extension of the Bush tax cuts;
Confirmation of the START Treat negotiated by Obama has been held up in the U.S. Senate.
Most telling is the vulgar language used by Democrats in the revolt staged during the House caucus on December 9.
“F the president” and other expletives were flowing from the mouths of progressives who, just two short years ago, were making plans for an Obama likeness to be carved into Mount Rushmore, before The One actually took office.
“F the president” aimed at The Anointed One? Now that is a BFD!
