Calderon's Immigration Policy

Michelle Malkin details Mexico's immigration laws - as Calderon attacks Arizona as Nazis for defending our border.

Through the looking glass. That's where we are, people.

Honestly, I worry the Øbama regime is leading us into civil war.

Through either Balkanization through "Multiculturalism" or by their outright treason & premeditated destruction of our country.

I just don't see how we can avoid it.

Our "leaders" are virtually insane. They are so blinded by hatred of this country that they are without the ability to think or act rationally.

This is not even a question of what's right or wrong, it's a question of being able to distinguish fantasy from reality.

This regime and its zombies appear unable to do so.

They hate America as intolerant, but give a pass to Islamofascists. They hate America as exclusive, but give a pass to Mexico's harsh immigration practices. They hate America as racist, but only because most of its people are White! They believe everyone has a right to "the American Dream", but steal from those working hardest for it. They decry joblessness, but condemn and hamper the job-creators. They cry "fairness!" and pass laws that institutionalize discrimination and favoritism.

They are liars, cheats & thieves, yes. But they are also psychotic: unable to recognize cause and effect, distinguish truth from fiction, science from ideology, faith from superstition, good from evil.

And they are in charge. I just know one thing: Whatever's coming, it's not going to be pretty.

His widdle feelings was hurt.

"State Department officials, some of whom were holdovers from the Bush Administration, say the reasoning for the U.S. to end the annual summits, which had been held since 1991, was in part due to Obama and his team's feeling " slighted" by European leaders and their staffs, such as French president Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, both of whom have come away less than impressed with Obama's style and substance."

Trash vs Class

Letter to the Editor, Patriot Post:

"My family had the privilege and blessing of being on the Mall when President Reagan's horse-drawn caisson and coffin, slowly came up Constitution Avenue to lie in state at the Capitol. What a thrilling spectacle! The large numbers of people lining Constitution Avenue were incredibly courteous and friendly. The remarkable thing about this huge crowd was how tidy it was. Every trash receptacle was overflowing, however, there was no litter. All the overflow trash was neatly stacked around the full bins. On the other hand, the litter on the mall after Obama's coronation does not surprise me. The two crowds are very different dimensions of America. One crowd was very sensitive to its personal duty of stewardship, and the other was a crowd of socialists who believe in letting someone else clean up after it. This is classic and predictable." --Sacramento, California

HOW THE MARKET WORKS - PART II

Seeing they had all these monkeys on hand, a local entrepreneur in the village investigates if there is another buyer interested in their surplus monkeys. He finds a market overseas and sells the monkeys for $1000 profit each. Having secured a market, the villagers start breeding monkeys. They breed the best monkey anywhere, raised in capitivity they are free from diseases or genetic defects. The whole village becomes rich. They build houses and schools, employing workers from neighboring villages, and thus makes the neighbors richer too.

Obama viewing all this says "this is bad."


HOW SOCIALISM WORKS (it doesn't)

Obama views poverty as the root source of evil... it seems to me I have gleaned from some of the things he has written. Obama sees capitalism as producing poverty. Those who do well in a society are not hardworking and industrious people who are to be rewarded. Rather, by virtue of their ascent and promotion in the economic system in the accumulation of wealth and the ownership of business and property, they become the slave owners and oppressors of the poor.

Those villagers have become evil. They have become the slave owners and the oppressors of the village next door. What have they done to harm the village next door?? They have profited and succeeded while the villagers next door, who took no part in the enterprise, still are left with nothing. To remedy their greed and excess, the monkeys will be taken from the first village and given to the second village. What will the villagers in the second village do with the monkeys?? They will not breed the monkeys to produce more monkeys. They will consume the monkeys because they have not the training, the discipline, the planning capacities nor the deferral of instant gratification modelled by the first village.

The second village having consumed the monkeys of the first village looks to the first village for more monkeys. But there are no more monkeys. The second villagers took them and consumed them without producing more, the monkeys are now extinct and the two villages are equal in poverty.

Socialism is putting looters, instead of shopowners, in charge of the store and the storehouse. The result is empty shelves and a shop that has no profit and must go out of business.

So Much Evil; So Little Time

I'm sure no one here needs to be convinced, but this Comprehensive Argument Against Barack Obama is a good way to have all your ducks in a row for :

1) Pre-election debates with people who support Posy-Toes.

2) Fervent, ongoing, public, persistent, vocal, post-election opposition to everything he does to advance his anti-American, Leftist agenda (should he be elected).

It's a good source.

Looks like I'm going to have to give away my brand new white trenchcoat, lest someone mistake my "meaning".

And...I stole this fair and square from the comments section of the same post (just in case you didn't read that far), submitted by Philmon. It's clear he gets it:

“The racist subtext was disturbing today when John McCain ordered a hamburger at McDonalds. As everyone knows, Ronald McDonald, when viewed in black and white, appears reminiscent of an actor in a minstrel show, revealing his obvious intent to humiliate African Americans. Further, the buns on McDonalds hamburgers are white bread, surrounding the dark-colored meat which is oozing catsup, meant to represent blood, as the white buns depict two white men surrounding a black man and beating up on him - thus keeping him down. The “M” in “McDonalds”, the golden arches, is the first character in the word “Man”, as in “The Man” (”man” also revealing his sexist nature). John McCain’s clear racial insensitivity is appalling.”

On the nose satire. Funny. Man.

Bold Character Shown by Big Media

This is what Big Media is busy doing. Going to Vietnam to interview John McCain's TORTURER...to ask if his version of McCain's imprisonment agrees with what McCain has said.

This is considered News at the BBC.

This is Big Media's idea of being "fair and balanced". To them, McCain's word and that of a Vietnamese TORTURER are equally trustworthy and valid.

Is it possible for them to more accurately demonstrate their "character"?

I don't remember Big Media ever politely interviewing the Abu Graib "torturers" to get their side of the story give it equal weight and validity as that of Cindy Sheehan or Code Pink.

Freedom of Liberals

The only area of human behavior in which Liberals believe in the primacy of the individual is deviant and/or promiscuous and/or irresponsible sex.

And maybe drugs.

In every other case, they abandon any foolish notion of the Primacy of the Individual...in favor of the Primacy of the State. (A collectivist state, of course.)

Their strident demands for total and unrestricted sexual FREEDOM convinces them that they stand for freedom in the broader sense. But of course they don't.

They don't believe in Freedom of Speech if someone disagrees with them.
They don't believe in Freedom of the Press if someone reports something they don't like.
They don't believe in Freedom of Religion if the religion is Christianity
They don't believe in Artistic Freedom if it promotes a non-Marxist agenda.
They don't believe in Freedom of Association if that would exclude anyone.
They don't believe in the Free Market if some people are actually successful.
They don't believe in the Freedom to defend oneself if one can't afford a bodyguard.

They have demonstrated this over and over in real life. Yet they persist in imagining they stand for FREEDOM.

I suppose they do: The freedom to fuck their brains out with whomever they choose, in the middle of the street, scaring the horses...without being "punished" with a baby.

Sort of like stray dogs. Except that dogs have the decency to have their puppies.

Liberals don't believe in Liberty at all. They believe in Libertinism. And the only thing they have in common are their first six letters.

The Prog Elite - And Why They Keep Losing

In an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, the writer insists that the Democrats have to "Shake the Elitist Tag".

"...In spite of his lofty liberal rhetoric, Mr. Obama is not connecting to millions of middle- and working-class voters, as well as women voters of all classes. Not only is his legislative record scant on issues that make a difference in their lives, but his current campaign is based mainly on an assumption of his transcendence.

Despite Mr. Obama's assertions that his campaign is about "you," much of his campaign is, in fact, all about him. In the months since the primaries ended, his creation and display of a mock presidential seal with his name on it, his speech at a mass rally at the Prussian Victory Column in Berlin, and his insistence on delivering his acceptance speech in front of fabricated Greek columns in a stadium holding 80,000 chanting supporters have crossed the thin line that separates galvanizing voters and plain old demagoguery

...Mr. Obama cannot point to any analogue to Mr. McCain's service. As he talks of himself, and his supporters talk about the amazing Obamaness of Obama, it is no wonder that millions of Americans, including loyal Democrats, still question whether his presidency would reinforce the splendor of Barack Obama rather than protect them and enhance their lives."

You gotta love, "The amazing Obamaness of Obama"!

One of the most amazing things about the Palin nomination is the way it has caused the mask on the beet red, throbbing rage-face of the Prog Democrats to slip.

They are so beside themselves, literally vibrating with spleen, that they are unable to control their fury, rage and malice. It is pouring out of Prog pie-holes from coast to coast—for all the world to see. And it's damned ugly.

I think even people who refused to believe it are becoming convinced of Media Bias in the face of the crude excesses, bad grace and bad temper displayed with uncontrolled, almost wild, abandon by the media in its attempt to injure Sarah Palin and defend their wounded hero, Obie the Precious.

It's an eye-opener, make no mistake.

And I think a lot of that temper has surfaced because they are outraged that a Conservative woman, a mom, wife and "former mayor" of a small town, who still holds small town values would dare to presume to address her betters (themselves) as an equal.

Why Do They Hate Us??

.
Why do Liberals insist that Conservatives are evil? I've puzzled about it for a long time.

Evidence abounds that Conservatives are happier, more fullfilled, more generous, more kind, more tolerant than Progs—better thinkers, better parents, better citizens, better workers. And history proves repeatedly that Conservative principles make nations and peoples more successful, more prosperous, more advanced, more civilized, and more free than those run by Liberals.

Yet, Progs hysterically refuse to acknowledge it. They actively HATE Conservatives. They don't just "disagree", they express malice, loathing, malignity—toward a mind-image whose matrix is their own imaginations.

And when you think about it, it's really very odd.

But people don't do "very odd" things for no reason.

What can it be that is behind this collective denseness, this willfull ignorance, this purposeful refusal to see who we are, or hear what we say—and the psychotic frenzy to create boogeymen out of mists and fears upon whom they can pour their antipathy and revulsion?

Why are they so married to the patently false delusion that Conservatives are Evil?

I think I finally figured it out.

If they ever admit we're not evil incarnate; if they ever open the door to the concept that our opinions might be valid; if they ever allow the suspicion that our ideas might have merit; if they ever acknowledge that our policies might be better...

...they will be permitting the possibility of creating a reality in which one is faced with standards that are high and virtues that are demanding.

They might have to change from being Self-Righteous in ignorance and sloth to being Righteous in wisdom and industriousness.

And they don't want any part of it.

The best way to defend their cushy, shallow, libertine, useless little lives is to do whatever is necessary to destroy the messenger, so they won't have to hear the message.

The Perfect Storm

When Obama first hit the national scene, he was dismissed as a newcomer; too green, too unaccomplished, and too unknown to be a major player this election. At the time, it was assumed that Hillary Clinton would glide to automatic coronation as the Democrat nominee.

Then Obie caught fire. He became a combination of Savior and Rock Star. His campaign became a series of massive and hysterical rallies where men tingled and women swooned.

He appeared to be an unstoppable force of nature, sweeping all before him.

What was most disturbing about it for us Conservatives, is that we understood what was fueling this dynamo...the ultra-Left, Marxist wing of the Democrat Party. And they were inflamed with the possibility of, for the first time in history, becoming the power in Washington D.C.

Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Democratic Underground, MoveOn.org...and all the other extreme Left groups saw an unobstructed, smooth, flat, swift current into the White House...and all the power, influence, money and status that they had ever dreamed of.

They had lain waste the moderate and conservative factions of their own party, and had claimed the Democrat Party as their own. They pushed the ideology, the platform, the talking points and the policies to the extreme Left End. And they were very much anticipating doing the same to the country.

It was THEIR time! Finally! They rejoiced. Indeed, they prematurely celebrated victory, so sure were they that the juggernaut of Obama could not be stopped.

Which is what they said about the Titanic.

But soon, a little bit of ice was breaking the surface of the smooth waters. Obama's followers dismissed it as we had earlier dismissed their leader. The Republican Party was in chaos. There was no emerging leader, the President's popularity was low. Conservatives were sorely disappointed in Fred Thompson, the one potential bright spot in a sea of uninspiring choices.

We Conservatives have, for years, insisted that the reason for the slipping popularity and multiple defeats of the Republican Party is its abandonment of Conservative values. And yet, the choice this election cycle included not a single bonafide conservative. And then adding insult to injury, John McCain, the very sort of Democrat-Lite "Maverick" who more often than not enjoyed the sport of poking Conservative Republicans in the eye, was chosen to be our standard bearer. We were enervated, deflated, disillusioned.

And then...

He selected Sarah Palin as his running mate.

And that little point of ice exploded into a monumental iceberg...and the world as we all knew it...ended.

The new climate includes things that we could not ever have predicted:

1) The Conservative base was inflamed with energy and excitement because of his inspired choice. She is smart, accomplished, genuine...REAL...a serious reformer, a true-blue patriot, a committed Conservative. We see the future of the Republican Party and the Conservative Movement in her. When we look at her, we can't help but see the First Woman President of the United States. She is clear on her values...and they agree with ours. She doesn't fold under pressure, she doesn't give up. Big Dog politicians don't scare her. She is who she says she is. And we love her.

2) Conservatives, almost against their will, were forced to re-assess the man John McCain...the one who showed such perspicacity in choosing Palin. Who took such a risk. Who thought so far out of the box. Who made such a strategically brilliant choice. And who, in the final analysis...chose a staunch Conservative. And as a result, though he's done some things that drive us crazy, we can see hidden depths, and can, with some measure of confidence support this "Maverick".

3) Obama, in his arrogance and blind ambition to win the nomination, has, it appears, done things that have fostered the lasting enmity of some of the supporters of his major rival, Hillary Clinton. They refuse to support Obama. Many of the women, particularly, are angry about what they consider crude and overt sexism displayed by Obama and his campaign and Left Wing supporters, as well as the press with, they are convinced, Obama's tacit approval.

4) Sarah Palin, selected by McCain, an accomplished and intelligent women, is a very attractive candidate to that constituency—on her own merit.

5) Others of those Hillary supporters see a vote for McCain/Palin as the best strategy to give Hillary one more chance at the presidency. If Obama wins, Hillary cannot run again. If he loses, she can run in 2012. They envision a Clinton/Palin race. With the result that no matter which wins, the last glass ceiling in America will be shattered forever!

6) McCain, originally the "least favorite choice" for Conservatives, precisely because he is perceived as NOT an ideological Conservative, but rather more of a Moderate, is exactly the sort, and the only sort of Republican candidate that appeals to those disillusioned Democrats, those moderate Democrat, even to the few remaining Conservative Democrats that find themselves uable to support Obama and his Left-Wing machine.

7) The Obama campaign, whose very timbers were shivered by the unexpected nomination of Sarah Palin, has gone completely off compass, and its sails are slack. Obama, the Presidential candidate is spending his time attacking the Vice-Presidential opponent. This either reduces his status or inflates hers. Either way, it makes him look bad.

8) Leaders of the Democrat Party are so forgetting themselves that they are making wild ad hominem attacks against a woman they barely know. Members of Congress are comparing Obama to Christ and Palin to Pontius Pilot! "Feminist" organizations are spitting malice at Palin like vipers! Democratic "spokesmen" are suggesting that her only qualification for VP is that she "didn't have an abortion", Hollywood dunderheads ask if she believes dinosaurs were on earth 7 thousand years ago.

And the New Media is broadcasting all this psychosis for everyone to see.

9) The "Mainstream" Media, already seen as the handmaiden of the Obama campaign has completely lost all sense of discretion and sanity. It has launched the most unseemly campaign of the "politics of personal destruction" ever witnessed in America. And The People are noticing. And they are being repulsed by it. People who could not have cared less about McCain are actively angry with the press for their unprecedented malice and vitriol

These Nine Winds did not exist before the nomination of Sarah Palin. Their confluence has created the Perfect Storm wherein the unstoppable B.D.S. Obama is sinking...and the most unlikely pair of happy American optimists is beating him to the Golden Shore.

If you'd asked me write a fictionalized version of a Republican winning this election, and I wrote this scenario, no editor worth his salt would have published it. Too unrealistic.
