Leader of the Free World

Leadership.  It's a fickle thing. The standard definition is (n) which means to lead or direct or guide a group. For instance, our illustrious leader, The O'blamer. He was elected to lead the most powerful nation in the world and swore to defend the Constitution and to protect our nation from its enemies, both foreign and domestic. One could argue many times over whether he has carried out that oath. The Commander in Chief couldn't lead a squad of ducks.

A number of situations have occurred in our sovereign nation that are clearly terrorist attacks. Our leader has chosen to remain passive and to lie many times over about the situation in the Middle East, as well as immigration, Obamacare, IRS....and the list just goes on and on. He cannot even call out the obvious; those who are doing their best to terrorize our way of life ARE muslim extremists. 

Our leader has aligned himself with our enemies and chosen to piss off our allies. He has decimated our military and we were once the most powerful nation in the world. Nations feared us and looked to us for help and guidance. Now, we're the laughing stock of the world and completely vulnerable to our enemies. Obama remains indifferent and makes back room deals with untrusted leaders of countries who have no ethics when it comes to human rights. 

Obama has clearly divided our country by inciting rioting, looting, racism, and rebellions ad nauseam. I'm sure he's sitting back in the Oval office with his feet on the desk, having a smoke and basking in all his destruction and misery. He cares nothing for this country or our allies. Instead, he is fascinated with basketball, golf, fund raisers and movie stars. 

 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is a leader. 

He has led his country through some difficult times. He is a veteran, a diplomat and an man of strong character. As the commander in chief, he has used tremendous restraint in guiding his country through seemingly endless violence perpetrated against his home land.

Prime Minister Francois Hollande of France is also a leader.

His country has become the victim of more than one terrorist attack and he has chosen not to ignore or blindly accept these violent acts. No, he has chosen to do what our wimpy ass President has never done. He called it an act of war and swiftly retaliated.  

These two leaders epitomize grace under pressure, decisiveness, diplomacy and have garnered the loyalty of their people. Our President wipes his hands and walks away without so much as a second glance.

Here we are....at a crossroads. Our leader sends our country's sympathies and less than one day before, lied to the American public by saying ISIS is contained. Really? Since just about the entire European Union and the US has opened its borders and allowed refugees to enter without any kind of vetting process, we are clearly in deep shit. Will we have another 9/11? There's no telling, but odds are the bombings we've experienced are only a prelude of things to come. 

An article in the New York Post headlined, "lead or resign." I may be wrong here, but this appears to be one of those rare occasions where the media has finally seen the light and called out our dear leader for not being one. 

Say what you will, but it is clearly not Bush's fault.

Another 4 Years

Today is a federal holiday and ordinarily, I would be enjoying my day off and maybe even catching up on a little TV. Today is also Inauguration Day and I refuse to turn on the TV, knowing full well I'd be inundated with all the pomp associated with another 4 years of this moron named Obama.

I make no bones about the fact that I didn't vote for him. I don't know too many people who did, but then again I live in a red state. Many idiots voted for Obama strictly based on the color of his skin. I don't have any black friends that did. Then again, my black friends work for a living, have an education and are not dependent upon the government to get them through their every day lives. Like the rest of us, we do what we can to make ends meet and try to stay away from government assistance. It was once the great American way...to work for what you wanted. Now, many expect that their wants and needs will be taken care of by someone else because everyone owes it to them. That's sad. It's not who we ever were.

There are also many of us who are simply fed up with our government representatives. Who do they actually stand for besides themselves? I'm having my doubts about our election process. Obama winning a second term was rigged....I'm convinced of it. It doesn't matter. Unless he's impeached or resigns, we're stuck with him for another 4 years.

Obama doesn't care about your rights. He's consistently stepping on toes and wiping his feet on the Constitution. His views do not mimic what we as citizens of these great United States would like. His views do not stand for the republic nor do his outlandish laws serve any useful purpose but to cause so much divisiveness. Some believe that our ruler has a method to all this madness and it isn't in our best interest.

Obama doesn't want law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. To me, this is asking for trouble. How much crime do law enforcement officers deal with that are committed by illegal aliens? Depending on certain demographics, I'd say more than half. Now, knowing full well that his logic tends to lean too far to the left, he is punishing every citizen based on the actions of a number of mentally ill people who killed innocent people with firearms. He came up with some ideas. Ideas that have already been batted around a number of times. Maybe more police in schools will help deter crimes. By all means, if the government will subsidize or fund it, make it happen. It's unfortunate, but necessary. Will banning certain firearms, ammo and magazine capacities make a difference? Highly unlikely.
Perhaps the President would like to keep an eye on all the courts that make back room deals with Judges, prosecutors, and attorneys who allow repeat violent offenders plea deals. Most of these violent offenders have no moral compass and are released only to commit violent crimes again and again.

The one glaring common denominator in all these mass shootings is mental illness. How does the President propose to keep firearms away from the mentally ill without stigmatizing people or causing Doctors to put their careers on the line should they make the wrong diagnosis? What about that reasonable expectation of privacy? Labeling people as "unstable" without violating HIPPA laws is a slippery slope.

Obama's arrogance is immeasurable. Today, he once again swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. The Constitution clearly states that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed. This is angering many people and is causing chaos and panic in the gun industry far beyond what they saw in 2008 when Obama was first elected.

How does Obama expect law enforcement will receive these unlawful orders? Does he think that law enforcement in the U.S. will blindly follow the leader and take away the guns from their citizens? Many Sheriffs are taking a stance and are doing so by not only utilizing certain media outlets, but they're also doing it the old fashioned way...in a signed letter to the VP. Check out this site. My 3 favorite Sheriffs have made their voices clear. They will not enforce unconstitutional laws.

SHERIFFS TAKE A STAND

Machete Madness

Beaufort, SC

Near Hilton Head Island and St. Helena Island, SC there are a number of migrant camps where illegals pass through during various times of the year, mostly picking tomatoes and okra. Oh hell, I don't know what they pick, and don't really care. What's important is that the illegals are probably making their way to FL this time of year, migrating to where the work is and the warmer weather.
They also like to get drunk and commit crimes, but that's another story.

The victim in this case; Raphael Solano-Silverio, was drinking with a bunch of other migrant workers at one of their little encampments. Raphael got in to a scuffle with 3 other men and a full-fledged fight broke out. Other people at the camp broke up the fight, separating them, and Raphael went home.
I'm guessing that wasn't enough for the other 3 little illegal bastards, so they went to Raphael's home.

At 4:30 a.m., the 3 knuckleheads broke in to the victim's house, dragging him outside and brutally assaulting him. In the midst of this mob violence, the victim manages to get his hands on a machete. An awkward weapon, but effective nonetheless. The victim began swinging the machete at his attackers.  One of the suspects got a nasty head wound and another had a finger sliced off.  A slice and dice ...always good for some blood and gore.

Everyone had a little trip to the hospital and the Sheriff's dept. says that Raphael will not be charged with any crime, since it was purely an act of self defense. The other 3 were or will be charged with Burglary, Assault and mob violence.

Who knows if any or all of them are indeed illegal, but we can thank Obama for making it difficult to deport these useless pieces of shit.

Geraldo Lopez, 23

Geraldo Lopez here was one of the 3 attackers, but he managed to walk away with relatively minor inuries so he was the first to go to jail. The other 2 are still in the hospital. Guess who's paying for all that?  Oh, yes. No wonder health insurance premiums and health care costs are rising exponentially. Because people like this are a drain on society and we have to feed and house the bastards....one way or another, we're stuck footing the bill.

A Tale of Injustice

Berkeley County, SC

In April of 2010, Peggy Kandies was staying at a friend's trailer in a mobile home park, when one illegal Mexican scumbag by the name of Frederico Reyes, burst into the trailer.

Frederico Reyes, aged 30
Illegal alien and pervert

After forcing himself in to the residence, he jumped on top of Ms. Kandies, attempting to sexually assault her.  He head butted her, leaving a large contusion on her forehead and also bit her on the lip, leaving a distinct bite mark.  Many years before, Ms. Kandies was trained in Ju Jitsu and remembering her training, fought off her attacker.  Reyes was caught a short time later and arrested.

It's from this point on that the system failed this feisty middle aged woman. Starting with the initial police investigation, to the final prosecution of the defendant, the criminal justice system seemed to do nothing but favor the rights of a pervert who was in this country illegally.

This article  lays out in great detail, the incident and subsequent complications she endured in her battle to get justice. The saddest part of all this is that Ms. Kandies has had little to no cooperation from the local solicitor's office. They refuse to even speak with her anymore and she suspects because she had the audacity to point out that under the SC Victim's Bill of Rights, her rights were violated on several points.
Additionally, because the defendant was allowed to plead to a lesser charge, all without considering her input, the defendant's indictment subsequently labeled him as a "non-violent" offender. Which is not only a direct contradiction of the physical evidence, but is also an insult to the victim. The only consolation was that Reyes was put on the Sex Offender Registry.

Ms. Kandies recently found out on her own that Reyes is coming up for a parole hearing.  Yes, unbelievably, Reyes has been in jail only 8 months of a 5 year sentence.  The parole hearing is scheduled this week in Columbia, SC.  An on line petition is being circulated to keep this pervert in jail where he belongs. Please sign the petition and show support to the victim's rights and to get our legislators off their fat asses and address this illegal immigration problem.

FINAL NOTE:  As of 9-14-11, a parole board hearing denied Reyes' release.

The J-1 Visa Scam

It's not enough that ICE agents have now had their hands literally tied when it comes to deporting illegal aliens.  Basically Obama's (and we all know it is) little ploy has now allowed millions of illegal aliens to remain in this country unless they are either wanted for a heinous crime in another country or committed one here.  Liberals just don't seem to get the big picture, do they?
Thank you so much, Mr. President!  Don't we have enough problems with anchor babies and other little scams that allow illegals to live off our welfare and medicaid systems?

While I'm all for the land of opportunity and that all too famous saying, "Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."  I personally, feel that the quote, "The wretched refuse of your teeming shore" is a bit of a misnomer. Why must we take the wretched refuge - legally and otherwise? Hell, if you don't want these shitheads, what makes you think we want them?

My paternal Grandparents immigrated to the U.S. through Ellis Island where they entered the country LEGALLY.  They had to acclimate themselves to our way of life and culture.  They had to learn to read, write and speak ENGLISH.  While my Grandmother came here young and able to speak English, my Grandfather, before he met his bride, knew very little.  If he could not speak English in his every day tasks, he was turned away.  No one would cater to him.  You learned English or you were shunned. Why must we, in the 21st century, be forced to learn to speak Spanish in a country where the primary language is English?

From my immigration rant, this leads in to our BIG unemployment problem.

Recent news articles suggest that foreign exchange students come to this country on what they call a J-1 Visa.
In a nutshell, this is a government funded student exchange program that allows foreign students to come to the U.S. to study and work for a specific amount of time.
These J-1 Visa students are an enticement to business owners to hire because they don't have to pay social security and other payroll taxes.  Get the picture?  Why hire from our huge pool of unemployed American labor when you can outsource and not have to pay taxes and social security?

A recent development shows that some employers were actively recruiting J-1 Visa students to hold down jobs in strip clubs, forcing some in to sexual slavery when their passports were confiscated by a large ring of criminals.  Some of the J-1 Visa jobs paid above minimum wage, but food, housing and other supplies were deducted from their paychecks, resulting in an average wage of $1.00 per hour.  Students were housed in a dorm like atmosphere that didn't have enough beds or provided for the basic hygiene needs.  Many were sharing beds or sleeping on the floor in sub standard conditions.

Now, in protest, 400 students walk off their job in a Pennsylvania chocolate factory  that makes Hershey's chocolates. The "Great American Chocolate Bar" people use a contractor, who is turns uses a staffing company to fill seasonal jobs. I know, it's a cluster.
That's 400 seasonal jobs that could go to unemployed Americans. All in the name of saving on paying taxes. Tax monies desperately needed to stimulate our economy by putting American labor back to work.
Let's just take a guess that Hershey is paying an estimated $10. per hour (it's no doubt more) to this less than ethical staffing company to supply them with their labor needs. Hershey doesn't have to pay taxes on that $10. per hour because they contract out the labor. The staffing company is now responsible for taxes and social security.  Because of the fact that they're using J-1 Visa labor, they don't have to pay social security or federal income taxes.  Ain't that grand? This supposed staffing company then deducts all the expenses they allegedly doled out to house and feed these students, thus leaving the students with little to nothing in take home pay. Imagine the profit on that for the 400 students alone?

When will the average American voter wake up and see the big picture? We can't even afford to take care of our own millions of unemployed, LEGAL residents.  Why should we import more problems?
Obamacare tried to shove an illegal medical insurance requirement down our throats. This country is desperate for jobs and doesn't need more debt. Obama's ratings are in the toilet.  I wonder why.

Arizona Immigration Law

There is no doubt that persons entering our country illegally is a divisive issue, at best.  The state of
Arizona just signed in to legislation a law that says police can detain people, "where practicable" and ask them for their papers.  ("Your papers please" sounds more like the dialog of a 50's era movie.) This puts law enforcement in an even more unfavorable light.  Are we not bordering on nazism and socialism when we randomly stop and ask people for their papers just by virtue of the color of their skin?  Where does one draw the line on this kind of reform?  It is inviting profiling, law suits, more political bickering and government rhetoric, not to mention the fact that it's not really solving the problem.  It is just adding to it.
It is an indisputable fact that something needs to be done and that we need to stop catering to liberals who cannot see the big picture.  Every day hundreds, maybe thousands, come across our borders illegally in the hopes of finding a better place.  Many women arrive pregnant or have 'anchor babies' here so that they won't be deported, since their children are automatically given citizenship by birthright.
Then they live off our tax dollars in welfare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. and most don't pay taxes.
It is a sorry state of affairs when English has become the second language and we are becoming foreigners in our own land.

What's even worse, there are not enough jobs now, more people are homeless than ever before and our economic situation is in a crisis of drastic proportions.  Arizona has the right idea and state's rights allows them to enact such legislation, but this law is too abstract in it's wording and it's literally unenforceable.  The Obama administration needs to get off it's ass and address this illegal immigration problem in the US.  It's not going to go away.

We need to stop pandering to these people and show them that if non-residents want to come to the land of opportunity, then they should do so like our forefathers did -- LEGALLY!
