Jan Brewer has signed an executive order directing state agencies to deny driver’s licenses and other public benefits to young illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations under a new Obama administration program.Hey, how about you folks "Dream" your way into the American Consulate, apply for a visa, and come here legally, just like three of my four parents did? Or would that be too much trouble?
After the order was issued, supporters of the program and the DREAM Act took to the streets of Phoenix in protest. Video from Air15 showed the protesters carrying signs and walking down Central Avenue toward the State Capitol.
Brewer’s Wednesday order says she’s reaffirming the intent of current Arizona law denying taxpayer-funded public benefits and state identification to illegal immigrants.
As expected, the Justice department refused to file charges against their boss, Attorney General Holder, so tomorrow House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa will sue AG Holder in civil court for refusing to provide documents related to the “Fast and Furious” gun-smuggling operation.
The list goes on, but the pattern is clear. Virtually every nation or people of note in history did terrible (by modern standards) things to others that were not considered part of their tribe, clan, religion, or group. But most of them did it without accomplishing much of particular significance, furthering scientific advancement, making the average person better off, broadening human rights, broadening educational opportunities, helping other nations succeed, or otherwise improving the lot of their citizenry other than at the expense of the oppressed. The exceptions, like the Roman Empire, are notable because they are so unusual, but even they generally refused to acknowledge their flaws.RTWT. If you're looking for perfection, you'll be waiting a long time.
America admits the flaws, and tries to learn from them, and get better. But to do so without also acknowledging the truly great and unusual things the nation has done is to do our nation and her people a great disservice, sort of like only looking at the murders done with guns but not also seeing the cases of guns used for self-defense. It’s a “cost-benefit” analysis that only looks at the costs, which gives an entirely incorrect picture of reality.
That is why I think that history should be second only to language as a field of study in public school. It is full of exciting stories that anyone and everyone can relate to and learn from, it’s not always technical, it’s got fascinating bits and pieces as well as sweeping, epic tales, interesting people, great inventions and close-fought battles, and it can be made exciting and relevant to all age groups. To quote George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". We really, really need to not repeat some of the missteps of the 20th Century; to do that, we need to be aware of them. To look at only the warts on our republic’s history and demand radical changes is the same as admitting that you are unaware of the worse warts shown to be on all other competing systems of governance. We are not perfect; but neither are we as evil as some make us out to be.

Furthermore, gay marriage isn’t even ruining marriage. Feminism, coupled with no-fault divorce and a misandrist family court system have done more damage to the social institution of marriage than Adam and Steve ever could.
Finally, note that the legal institution of marriage is not the same as the religious institution of marriage. The government can use as much ink on as many sheets of paper as it so desires, yet God will never be bound to recognize that Adam and Steve are husband and husband. God is not bound by the laws of man; quit acting like he is.
On a side note, the religious institution of marriage has been radically undermined by its main nominal proponents (religious conservatives) by decades of false teaching, most notably the teaching that conflates moral laws with legal laws. There has also been quite an absence of proper teaching on theology of marriage, on the theology of divorce (hint: God hates it, Mal. 2:14-17), and the role of husband and wife (leader and helpmeet). This has done more to undermine marriage than to two lesbians kissing in front of a fast food joint.
The majority of the people that hate you do not hate you because you are gay. They hate you because you are assholes. Most straight couples have the common courtesy to not kiss in public, or make awkward public displays of affection. This is because most straight people are well-adjusted, and not delusionally narcissistic.
Get over your martyr complex. Your inability to not get a couple of extra tax deductions (and the attendant risk for alimony, should things go south) is not comparable to blacks being deprived of their natural rights. And seeing as how you don’t have a couple hundred years’ worth of slavery in your history, the comparison is even more ludicrous.
Also, the constant need to publicly remind everyone of your homosexuality is annoying, just as it would be if straights went around reminding everyone of their heterosexuality. Constantly reminding everyone that you’re here and you’re queer is getting old. Right now, it just sounds a little try-hard, like you have an inferiority complex, and so you constantly have to have validation from other people.
Satwant Singh Kaleka was a deeply religious man, who came to the United States from India in search of the American Dream.
He found it. Through his own hard work, he pulled himself from poverty to becoming the owner of several gas stations. He then turned the money he made to his community, helping to build the temple, where he became the president.
He was present, at his duties, when Evil slimed its way through the front doors of his temple.
A “Far-Right” connection, or ideology, would be movement toward less government, or, in the extreme, the complete absence of government – ie. Anarchy. The total opposite of Nazi beliefs. (Ron Paul supporters are the furthest right on most aspects)I'd call 'em stupid, myself.
This is strategic mental control, and manipulation by the Progressive usurpers, of verbiage, must be countered with Truth. A well-known close correlation, as an example of how the left uses Left-Wing behavior to label right-minded Groups, is the Chinese Student Uprising at Tiananmen Square circa 1989.
In the Tiananmen Square example the crackdown was labeled a shift to the “hard-right”. Labeled as such by the elites, the media, the punditry et al. However, again, a crackdown to control with oppressive government is a move to the “left”, not “right”.
Yet Benson seems to think that individual troop morale is his only problem. He ought to be wondering whether his orders will be obeyed at all, or, more to the point, which way the military's weapons will be aimed.
As ridiculous and faulty-premised as Benson's article is, we must take it seriously. At least some Pentagon planners are considering how to wage "anti-insurrectionary" operations against that class of folks that Obama sneeringly referred to as "the bitter clingers." That such military tyranny would be both a violation of their Constitutional oaths and treason seems not bother Benson and his ilk a whit. Thus, if the Pentagon is going to consider us potential enemies, we must give some thought to the application of Fourth Generation Warfare techniques in righteous self-defense against tyranny.
Now there's a nugget around which Benson can build his next article.What scares me is the notion that too many soldiers will simply follow orders. If their officers don't understand the concept of treason, will the average grunt even think twice about it? Unfortunately, we may well have to heed the advice of this commenter:
A fine line is being walked right there.I'm a 43-year-old truck driver. I'm in decent shape, but not great. My back is screwed up, I'm half-blind without my glasses, and I chain-smoked for 25 years so my wind is shot. And I have absolutely no military experience at all. Therefore, I have no illusions about taking on trained operators and winning. That'd just be Wraith's Last Stand, and I'd be an arrogant fool to believe otherwise.
Show me a brutal dictator who oppressed\killed their own people and I'll show you a regime that was simply trying to institute a societal transformative process.
How heavy a hand does a state have to use on its own people before is crosses the line from perceived to be illegitimate to illegitimate? If the people are in revolt against the political process, at what point is the solution not a change in the military\police\intelligence forces but instead a political change?
Be as ready as you are able at any given moment.
Remember, God laughs not only at the plans of "average" men, but also those of wannabe Tyrants who attend War Colleges.
Nothing has changed.
As a people, good and decent Americans simply cannot remain silent any longer. We must stand up. We must defeat these people. We must remove every single democrat from elected office nationwide.Anyone who still thinks we can reason with these maniacs, seriously needs to take a drug test.
Of course just defeating the democrats isn’t enough. Too many in the Republican party are too timid [or too corrupt] to join the fight. They too must be defeated and replaced by men and women of strong character and resolve. This is going to be a long, hard fight. It will sap the will of lesser men and women.
As trying as it will be, American didn’t get to this point overnight. It took generation for the forces of evil to become entrenched in our society. It took the radical Marxists, violent fascists, and burned out 60s radicals, nearly 100 years to take over the democrat party. It may take us a generation, or more, to remove them from power. But it’s a battle that must be fought.
One more time: this ain’t about chicken. It isn’t even about gay marriage. It’s about straws, and camels’ backs, and being absolutely fed to the gills with being lectured, hectored, harassed, shouted down, mocked, and ignored. It’s about being used as an unwilling national ATM by people doing things we do not in any way approve of, indeed are strongly opposed to and offended by. It’s about being disrespected, taken for granted, and coerced.Yep, it's like that. In the immortal words of Popeye, "We's had all we can stands, we can't stands no more!" This fracas over a few words from the CEO of a fast food chain, may well be remembered as a modern-day "shot heard 'round the world." The concept seems laughable now, but who knew that some Bosnian busting a cap in the ass of a minor Austrian nobility would kick off The War To End All Wars? Stranger things have happened. Remember, it only seems crazy until it becomes history.
It’s about the ongoing attempt to remake us into a more docile, dependent people, very much against our will. It’s about being lied to so obviously even a small child wouldn’t be fooled by it. It’s about being condescended to by people who aren’t even smart enough to see that their way of doing things has been a miserable, oppressive failure every single time it’s been tried, and are so deluded they can’t see that it’s failing yet again all around them, before their very eyes.
It’s about having a bellyful of being misled and misruled by the patently misguided. It’s about not sitting back and quietly taking it anymore.
In a weaselly attempt to get business back from online ammunition dealers like Brownells or LuckyGunner, Texas gun store owner Jeremy Alcede goes on the radio supporting a ban on online ammunition sales.There is no known equal to Tam's mastery of Snark-Fu. I see a guy in Texas looking for a new business to run soon...
Dear Jeremy Alcede of Tactical Firearms, Katy, TX: I hope you freeze in the dark, you gutless quisling punk.
When your children are crying "Daddy, why are we on food stamps?" you can tell them "It's because your Daddy was a selfish, pusillanimous sellout who put his personal bottom line ahead of the Bill of Rights, kids, and so nobody would buy anything from his store ever again."
I quit not just riding a bike on the rural avenues where I grew up, but walking upon them as well. Why? There is a good chance (twice now) of being bitten not just by a loose dog without vaccination, but by one whose owner is either unable to communicate or vanishes when hunted down. And then there are the official agencies whose de facto policy is that our ancestors did such a good job eradicating rabies that we can more or less coast on their fumes.I lived more than a touch of that life in my younger days...and there's a rebellious part of me that really wishes I could go back to it. To the simplicity of pure survival. To not having concerns about laws and consequences impeding my actions. To doing what had to be done, and being accountable only to myself. Things were a hell of a lot more cut and dried back then.
Forty years ago I assumed rightly that cars parked along the side of the road were out of gas or needed repair. Now? I expect that the cars are much more reliable, but the owner of any car parked outside my house is either stealing fruit, casing the joint, using drugs, or inebriated. Last week I explained to a passer-by why he could not steal the peaches from my trees; he honestly thought not only that he could, but that he almost was obligated to.
What makes The Road Warrior so chilling a metaphor is the combination of the premodern and postmodern. While utter chaos reigns in rural California, utter absurdity reigns inside the barricades, so to speak, on the coast. So, for example, San Franciscans will vote on whether to blow up the brilliantly engineered Hetch Hetchy water project (I bet they won’t vote yes), more or less the sole source of water for the San Francisco Bay Area. The National Park Service debates blowing up historic stone bridges over the Merced River in Yosemite Valley — as hyper-environmentalists assume that they have so much readily available power and water from prior generations at their fingertips that they have the luxury of dreaming of returning to a preindustrial California. Of course, they have no clue that their romance is already reified outside Madera, Fresno, or Bakersfield.
