MOTION TO HEAR ALLEGATIONS OF PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST GOLIK POSTPONED TO AFTER THE ELECTION.

Here is yet another display of media bias.  This one from a local election in Vancouver Washington

The hearing set before the Clark County Superior Court to consider allegations of prosecutorial misconduct against Tony Golik was moved from October 29th, to November 17th, after the election.
Golik, a Democrat, is running for County Prosecutor . He is running against Republican Brent Boger for the open seat.
The allegations were filed by Seattle attorney Neil Fox in Clark County Superior Court.
The Clark County Republican Party sent out a press release calling attention to the allegations last week. While the Columbian mentioned in a recent article that allegations had been filed they refused to report details of the allegations.
“The official position of the Columbian is that they will not report the allegations until the judge has made a ruling,” said Clark County Republican Party Chairman Ryan Hart.
“What is troubling is that the courts decision on these allegations will not be released until after the election,” Hart said.” “With an election coming up, the public needs to know about these allegations to make an informed choice about who our next prosecuting attorney should be," he said.
Newspapers regularly report allegations prior to a decision in court. A recent example is the October 21, 2010 edition of the Columbian when the paper reported on “allegations” against the No Tolls PAC. “Aren’t these just allegations?” asked Hart. “Shouldn’t the PDC make a ruling before the Columbian report on these allegations, at least by their own standards?” Hart added. “There is a double-standard from the Columbian here,” Hart noted. “They cover allegations against someone taking a political position they don’t like, while ignoring more serious and documented allegations against someone they support and are trying to protect,” Hart said.

Hart made it clear, “The Clark County Republican Party is not raising these allegations, nor are we presuming Golik to be guilty,” He said. “That doesn’t mean the voters shouldn’t be informed of the allegations.”
"This motion raises very concerning allegations, looks very well-documented, and should be taken seriously,” Hart said. “We had two criminal law specialist attorneys take a look at the motion and they told us the allegations of misconduct against Tony Golik were serious. I have spoken with prosecuting attorneys that have told me that allegations of this magnitude are not that common.”
Golik dismissed the allegations in a recent Columbian article stating that all of his colleges have had allegations of misconduct filed against them.
“That statement surprised the attorneys I spoke with,” Hart said. “I talked to a prosecuting attorney who has been practicing for more that 20 years who told me he has never had anyone accuse him of prosecutorial misconduct.”
Hart said that if the local paper won’t provide details of the allegations, the Clark County Republican Party will. “Voters have a right know,” Hart said.
Hart stated that there are several allegations against Golik in the motion that raise questions about Golik’s professional conduct.
Seattle attorney Neil Fox filed a motion in Clark County Superior Court seeking vacation of the criminal conviction of Dino Constance. The motion cites prosecutorial misconduct of Tony Golik, the Democrat candidate for Clark County Prosecuting Attorney. (Clark County Superior Court case number 07-1-00843-8).
The misconduct identified in the motion includes:
1. Tony Golik did not reveal, as required by law, the full criminal histories, outstanding warrants, and pending criminal charges of four key witnesses at trial.
2. For example, Golik did not disclose that prosecution witness, Zachary Brown, had reached a deal with prosecutors that no contact orders protecting a woman would be dropped. Brown's testimony was only relevant to the less serious charge of solicitation for assault. Brown's deal was reached over the objections of Brown's community corrections officer. Golik was present during a witness interview when Brown mentioned the no contact orders and Golik did not disclose the prosecution's assistance in getting them lifted. Brown also had pending drug charges that were not pursued, a fact which was not disclosed to the defense as required by law.
3. According to the motion, subsequent to lifting of the no contact orders, Brown assaulted the woman the orders were intended to protect.
4. As a result of the Prosecutor's office's failure to pursue the other criminal charges against Brown after giving testimony, Brown was free to commit a rape and kidnapping in Portland, charges to which he pled no contest to last May.
5. In addition to the community corrections officer, other persons questioned the lifting of the no contact orders against Mr. Brown. Those questioning were told the lifting was "going to get pushed through" because Mr. Brown was testifying in the Constance case. As a result of this pressure, another deputy prosecuting attorney withheld information from the Superior Court as to the reasons for dropping the no contact orders.
6. Tony Golik allowed prosecution witness Ricci Castellanos to testify that he obtained nothing from the prosecution for his cooperation in the case. In fact, Castellanos had received monetary compensation from the police "for his efforts." Golik did not volunteer that information when the issue came up in court.
7. The Prosecutor’s Office withheld discovery and Public Records Act requests for documents for four months while Golik was an announced candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. It took the intervention of the Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor to get the documents released. The failure to disclose these documents may have been motivated by an intention to protect Tony Golik's candidacy for Prosecuting Attorney.
“Elections are about choices,” Hart said. “Boger has an exemplary record. He will be tougher on crime.”

Deja Vu: Audience Again Overcomes LWV Moderator to Say Pledge of Allegiance!

Posted by Jared Law on October 28, 2010 at 9:27am in Activism/Events


This sort of thing doesn't surprise me anymore. It's just sad. It's also a warning to all wish eyes to see and ears to hear.

The fundamental transformation is coming. It's time to choose. This election is more important than ever, because soon, if we don't follow through and vote, and get out the vote, OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, we will have lost out best opportunity, politically speaking, to re-take the legislative branch of government, and to stop the spending, buying the critical time we need to defend our freedoms and prepare for 2012.

Please vote, and do it now, if you haven't already! Please talk to your friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, church congregation members, clients/customers/suppliers, and your other peers who are open to the truth, especially those you know who will vote for freedom, and DRIVE THEM TO THE POLLS if necessary!

Here's the story from The Blaze:


Deja Vu: Audience Once Again Has To Overcome LWV Moderator to Say T...Posted on October 28, 2010 at 7:36am by Jonathon M. Seidl

Controversy is once again surrounding the League of Women Voters. After a LWV moderator last week refused to allow a debate audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance, forcing them to break out into a spontaneous, unsanctioned recitation, the same thing happened in a Pittsburgh, PA suburb on Tuesday.

As a debate between Democrat congressional hopeful Dan Connolly and Republican incumbent Rep. Tim Murphy was about to begin, Murphy asked the moderator if they could say the Pledge. The moderator hesitated, and began explaining that starting with the Pledge is not the usual way to begin and that it would take too much time. The crowd ignored her explanation, stood up, and recited their allegiance:

 http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=hdSUnzuzkU

Arlene Levy, president of the Greater Pittsburgh LWV and former history teacher, spoke about the incident afterwords. She believes the requests are political and an attempt to intentionally disturb the forums.

“There have been some groups who want to create a ruckus, call attention to something and using the pledge to the flag and making it seem the League is unpatriotic if we don’t,” she said.

Both candidates, however, seem surprised by the moderator’s opposition.

“I see it as something completely a-political. It’s something that unites all of Americans,” Connolly said after the debate.

“If the flag is political, then we have some problems here. The flag is what brings us together,” Murphy added.

“The insensitivity [of the moderator], to me, was inexcusable and outrageous,” Tom Hajzus, a former high school prinicpal, registered Democrat, and Murphy supporter, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He said the crowd’s reaction “was an American moment, that’s what that was.”

The moderator was Susan Ruether, listed on the local Washington County LWV website as a committee member in charge of media communications. She declined to comment to the Gazette.

She did however comment to Murphy during the debate that ”next time if you have a request like that, we would appreciate it if you would give it to us when the rules are discussed,” according to the Gazette.

“It didn’t need to be requested. I assumed you would do it,” Murphy replied.

The incident doesn’t sit well with Stephen Gutowski over at Eyeblast.tv, who is left asking a plethora of questions:

Why is it that both times this has happened the League seems to believe that its a result of some kind of conspiracy to attack them? Seriously, who connects a desire to recite the pledge with some sort of grand conspiracy to take them down?

Besides, how long exactly does it take to recite the pledge? A minute? Why do these moderators seem to believe its going to cut into debate time?

Levy told KDKA-TV that the Greater Pittsburgh LWV is considering now incorporating the Pledge into every candidate debate.

Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name

Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name; vo...By: Mark Hemingway

Commentary Staff Writer

10/26/10 6:12 PM EDT

Clark County is where three quarters of Nevada's residents and live and where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's son Rory is a county commissioner. Rory is also a Democratic candidate for governor.

Since early voting started, there have been credible reports that voting machines in Clark County, Nevada are automatically checking Harry Reid's name on the ballot:

Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.

Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.

"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."

Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.

Now there's absolutely no independently verified evidence of chicanery with the voting machines (yet), but it is worth noting that the voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle -- nearly all of that on Democrats. White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU's top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year.

Just in Nevada, the SEIU has given a lot to groups that are heavily vested in the state -- in just one prominent example, the SEIU gave $500,000 to the Patriot Majority PAC, which has spent $1.3 million against Reid's opponent Sharron Angle. They've and have dropped large sums directly on candidates:

NV-3

Joe Heck (R)

Oppose

$140,000.00



NV-3

Dina Titus (D)

Support

$344,984.00



NV-Senate

Sharron E. Angle (R)

Oppose

$225,000.00

Now the county voting technicians aren't unique here -- many of Clark County's employees are also represented by the SEIU. But it is worth mentioning, the SEIU is hyperpoliticized and has seen its fair share of corruption. (It certainly seems more questionable than Diebold, the voting machine manufacturer with Republican ties that was at the center of many conspiracy theories on the left during the Bush administration.)

Unions increasingly have a major financial stake in election outcomes, both as a matter of their own election expenditures, and as a function of what they stand to gain if their legislative agenda is enacted. Should they really be responsible for tabulating the votes? That's certainly something voters ought to think long and hard about.

On page 75 of Clark County's SEIU contract -- in Appendix A, voting machine technicians are listed as positions represented by SEIU.

THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN......................................

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 25, 2010


Here we go again. Desperation plus the by-any-means-necessary credo plus a nationwide force of Alinsky avengers equals another recipe for voter fraud.
In Colorado, it’s Common Cause of Colorado, Mi Familia Vota Education Fund and the Se... caught in an apparent scheme to foist some 6,000 shady voter registrations on the state:

A federal judge declined to force the secretary of state to reactivate approximately 6,000 new voters whose registrations were canceled under Colorado’s 20-day rule.
In a decision issued Monday, Senior U.S. District Judge John L. Kane denied a motion for a preliminary injunction that was requested by several labor and voting-rights groups.
When a new voter registers in Colorado, the secretary of state mails a nonforwardable notice of disposition that the voter’s registration has been received. If the notice comes back undeliverable in the mail, then clerks deem the voter’s registration inactive within 20 days.
Melody Mirbaba, an assistant attorney general, argued that the 20-day rule is designed to stop voter fraud and duplicate registrations.

In Arizona, it’s illegal alien amnesty-supporting, SEIU-tied Mi Familia Vota again a... submitting massive, last-minute voter registrations. The race between rocket scientist Ruth McClung and open-borders radical Raul Grijalva is down to the wire. Maria Carvajal at Publius Pundit reports:

The Yuma Sun is reporting that two organizations — Mi Familia Vota and One Vote Arizona — submitted more than 3000 voter registrations in Yuma County, and more than 20,000 voters statewide.
Even more, they have signed up 43,000 people statewide for the permanent early voter list.
What they didn’t tell you is that voter fraud on a massive scale could be taking place, ostensibly to help Raul Grijalva keep the congressional seat he holds by stealing the election.
Here’s what the article doesn’t tell you, by a source in the Yuma County Recorder’s Office:

* These 3000 voter registration forms were all dropped off at once by the one group on the deadline to turn in voter registration forms. 

* Almost all of the registrations were for the Democratic Party, a statistical improbability at best.

* Today, these same 3000 newly registered voters — as a group — had papers dropped off at the Yuma Recorder’s office requesting to be signed up for the permanent early voters list… which means the ballots will be mailed early, with no accountability.

* The Yuma Recorder’s office is checking the voter registration forms and have found that already more than 65% of them are invalid due to the registrant not being a citizen, wrong/invalid address, false signature, etc.

Now, the question is: is voter fraud taking place in Yuma County… and is it taking place on an even bigger scale in Pima County?
So far, the partisan Democrat in charge of the Pima County Recorder’s Office, F. Ann Rodriguez, has been completely silent about any such activity, though certainly even just a few thousand votes could change the outcome of the race between rocket scientist Ruth McClung and boycotter Raul Grijalva.

In Washington state, it’s illegal alien amnesty-supporting OneAmerica Votes sending illegal alien canvassers out to drum up votes:

When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters’ doors, she’s not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally.  She knows it’s a risk to advertise this fact to strangers — but it’s one worth taking in what she sees as a crucial election.  The 42-year-old is one of dozens of volunteers — many of them illegal immigrants — canvassing neighborhoods in the Seattle area trying to get naturalized citizens to cast a ballot for candidates like Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who is in a neck-and-neck race with Republican Dino Rossi.
Pramila Jayapal, head of OneAmerica Votes, says the campaign is about empowering immigrants who may not feel like they can contribute to a campaign because they can’t vote.
“Immigrants really do matter,” Jayapal said. “If we can’t vote ourselves, we’re gonna knock on doors or get family members to vote.”

In Florida, it’s suspected absentee ballot fraud — from within a city commissioner’s office:

When police raided Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry’s office this week and seized his computer, they say they discovered evidence of what election experts say has become a rampant, largely ignored and troubling issue in Florida — the widespread abuse of
absentee ballots.  Police say Henry’s computer was used to obtain dozens of absentee ballots prior to the city’s Aug. 24 elections, in which he was re-elected.
The Daytona Beach probe started when an elections supervisor noticed that as many as 90 absentee ballots had been requested from two e-mail addresses, and that they came from a single computer. (It is illegal in Florida for anyone other than a family member to help in requesting an absentee ballot.)
Volusia County Election Supervisor Ann McFall said she grew suspicious “because 40 requests arrived in one batch on the night of Aug. 6, and another 15 the next day.
“The absentee ballots had no phone numbers on them, and my first concern was to get them in compliance. I emailed the sender and when I got no response checked with the Daytona Beach clerk, because all the requests were from Zone 5 and he didn’t recognize the address. Then I
handed it over to the sheriff’s office,” she said.
Police tracked the computer to the office of Henry, the city commissioner from Zone 5, who was running for re-election — and who easily defeated his two opponents with 65 per cent of the vote.

In New York, FNC’s Eric Shawn reports on another absentee ballot scheme implicating the ACORN-tied Working Family Pa...:

There are various allegations of possible voter fraud across the country, against both parties, but nowhere does there seem to be a more unusual case than in Troy, New York.
A special prosecutor investigating allegations of voter fraud, Trey Smith, is collecting DNA from the majority of the city council…all Democrats. Five city councilmen, including the council president, as well as four other city and county public officials and political operatives, have been ordered to or have had their saliva swabbed for DNA samples to compare to absentee ballots and absentee ballot applications that were allegedly forged.
The investigation centers on what has been called “a massive voter fraud scheme,” that involved absentee ballots for the Working Families Party, in September 2009. It has been alleged that Democrats tried to steal the primary election for city council and county legislature, by
forging absentee ballots and ballot applications to ensure that their candidates also won the Working Families Party primary line.
‘No comment,” is what Democratic Council member Gary Galuski told us, as well as several other public officials who are under investigation.

In Texas, citizen watchdogs have joined True the Vote to monitor and strike back against election fraud in Harris County:

Talk about denial! A group of liberal activists is making the media rounds, assuring reporters and editors that election fraud is a fairy tale. Nothing serious, they assert, nothing to see here. Too bad for them that citizens in Houston, energized by the Tea Party movement, have formed a group called True the Vote. Their hard work has demonstrated that, in some parts of the country at least, our election system is still infested with problems.
True the Vote is composed entirely of volunteers — hundreds of them. They have pored over election records in Harris County, Texas, looking for signs of fraud. And they have found plenty. Indeed, their initial research into only a very small portion of the voter registration
records has led them to ask the U.S. Justice Department’s Voting Section to conduct a federal investigation.
In a letter asking for an official inquiry, True the Vote discusses potential widespread forgery in voter application forms. For instance, it seems from the applications that someone suspiciously signs the letter “J” with a quirky “3” inside the loop. The “3” shows up in multiple signatures for different voters with the names Jenard, Jamark, Jamarcus, and Jones.
True the Vote reports that at least four noncitizens have been registered to vote in Harris County. The group provided Justice with the actual voter registration forms where applicants marked “NO” to the question: “Are you a U.S. Citizen?” The group also provided the voter
registration numbers of these confessed noncitizens. Yes, astonishingly, Harris County registered them to vote anyway. They are now on the rolls and able to participate in the upcoming midterm elections.
The Help America Vote Act of 2002 was supposed to stop this from happening. But this federal legislation is only as good as the Justice Department’s willingness to enforce it. If Harris County is registering noncitizens, then it is violating numerous provisions of federal law,
including those that prohibit the registration of foreigners to vote in federal elections.
True the Vote uncovered other types of fraud as well. The group forwarded to DOJ seven voter registration forms with applicant names different from the signature name. For example: Ta’mackayn Harrison’s application was signed by “Bra Kelly.” Jason King’s was signed by “Jemma Noel.” Yet Harris County inexplicably approved all of these applications. Jason King, aka Jemma Noel, is now on the voter rolls in Houston.
The citizens group also found multiple registrations for individual voters. For example, True the Vote provided the Justice Department government documents showing that at least four persons, including Jose Gomez and Victor Nickerson, had registered to vote multiple times
successfully.
These problems were found by True the Vote in just a small sampling of the county’s voter registration list.

In Kentucky, there’s not much detail, but state and FBI officials are investigating voter fraud in Breathhitt County.
In Illinois, disgraceful officials have reportedly been caught lying about the status of military ballots while DOJ twiddles its thumbs.
In Ohio, it’s Cincinnati schools under fire for busing students to vote and handing them Democrat-only sample ballots:

Three van loads of Hughes High students were taken last week – during school hours – to vote and given sample ballots only for Democratic candidates and then taken for ice cream, a Monday lawsuit alleges.  The complaint was made by Thomas Brinkman Jr., a Republican candidate for Hamilton County auditor, and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes against Cincinnati Public Schools.
“They plan to bring four more high schools (to vote) this week,” Christopher Finney, COAST attorney, said Monday after filing the suit.  It seeks a temporary restraining order to prevent school officials from participating or helping students participate in partisan politics
during school hours or with school property or employees involved.

These cases underscore the need for voters to put secretaries of state into office who will protect election integrity from radical left-wing groups. I’ve said before we need candidates like Kris Kobach,
running for secretary of state in Kansas on an anti-fraud, anti-corruption, anti-ACORN platform, in every state in the nation.
In the meantime: Vigilance plus citizen media plus the willingness to be sued for blowing the whistle equals the best defense for voter fraud. We must all be voter fraud watchers now.

Sobering Video - Chinese University Professor on America's Decline (2030 A.D.)

• Posted by Jared Law (912 Project) on October 22, 2010 at 4:05pm

This is a very sobering video clip.

It portrays a history lesson in what appears to be a Chinese University in Beijing, China, discussing the failure of great nations, including the Ancient Greeks & Romans, the British Empire, and the United States of America. It points out that all great nations which failed did so because they turned their backs on the principles which made them great.

The video clip makes a great case AGAINST the tax & spend philosophy of the 'Progressives,' and it makes clear that tax & spend policies are ruinous & enslaving.

It is a very clever video clip; the sad thing is that it accurately predicts the future, if we fail to take back our country.

PLEASE identify and recruit FOUR peers (friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, church congregation members, clients/customers, etc.) this weekend to join us (so long as they agree with at least 7 of 9 principles, and agree with our values, they're welcome to join); and whatever you do, PLEASE COMMIT THEM TO VOTING on or before November 2nd, 2010!

If we don't stop things now, we may not get another chance to do so peacefully! We MUST re-take the U.S. HOUSE...AND the U.S. SENATE!

Watch and then share:

From The Desk Of Joel Rosenberg:

THE JUAN WILLIAMS FIRING: NOW IS PRECISELY THE TIME FOR A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT THE THREAT OF RADICAL ISLAM

Posted: October 22, 2010 by joelcrosenberg in Uncategorized

That National Public Radio fired liberal commentator Juan Williams this week for publicly expressing on the Fox News Channel his anxieties about Muslims in America is appalling, but not surprising. NPR has long been hostile to the views of evangelical Christians and conservatives (example, example, example, example). Now, apparently, they are even hostile towards liberals who express personal sentiments on a conservative TV program. But the dustup is important not simply because it exposed once again the left-wing bias of NPR and demonstrated yet again why the network should not receive a dime of public funding. It was important because of the chilling implications over free speech in this country.
Are we really not allowed to say in a post-9/11 world that Muslims traveling on planes make some Americans uneasy? What else are we not allowed to say? Should we not discuss the threat of Radical Muslims to Judeo-Christian civilization? Are we not allowed to express our concerns about what would happen if Radical Muslims acquired nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? What happened to free speech in this country?
As I wrote last year in my non-fiction book, Inside The Revolution, the vast majority of Muslims in the U.S. and around the world (upwards of 90 to 93 percent) are moderate, peaceful people. They don’t believe in jihad. They are not suicide bombers or terrorists. They want good jobs, good schools for their kids, and the right to practice their faith without persecution or government interference. But as I also describe in great detail in that book, there is a small but important percentage of Muslims that are highly dangerous. They believe that Islam is the answer, and violent jihad is the way. Americans need to talk about both groups. We need to learn about and discuss the differences. We need to understand who the Radicals are, and who the Reformers are.
At the same time, we need to understand that there is a subset of Radical Muslims who are even more dangerous. They don’t simply want to terrorize us; they want to annihilate us. Chief among them are the “Twelvers,” a Shia Muslim cult who believe that end of the world is at hand, that the Islamic messiah known as the “Twelfth Imam” is coming to earth at any moment, and that the way to hasten the arrival of the Twelfth Imam is to annihilate two countries — Israel, which they call the “Little Satan,” and the United States, which they call the “Great Satan.” What makes these Twelvers especially dangerous right now is that they are running the current government of Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is a Twelver, and says he actually met with the Twelfth Imam last July. Iranian President Ahmadinejad is a lifelong Twelver, and is actively seeking to build nuclear weapons. Both have publicly called for the annihilation of the U.S. and Israel, and they are doing so for expressly religious purposes.
The world is doing precious little to stop such men. The Obama administration certainly isn’t taking decisive action to stop Iran from getting the Bomb. So every day the danger grows that the Twelvers will get nuclear weapons and either use them against Israel, and then the U.S., or give those weapons to terrorist groups who will seek to obliterate their enemies. Now is precisely the time to talk about such things. Now is precisely the time to talk as Americans about our anxieties and our fears. This is why I wrote a new political thriller entitled, The Twelfth Imam, to help foster such a national conversation and to take people inside the story and to help them imagine what might happen if the world ignores the threat posed by the leaders of Iran.
NPR apparently wants to silence Americans who are concerned about the threat of Radical Islam. Thankfully, there are a multitude of other media outlets who permit a national conversation about Radical Islam to take place. Such a conversation is, after all, more needed than ever.

No More Anchor Babies!

The effort to target abuse of the "Anchor Baby' loophole is finally gathering steam.

Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Utah are all standing up to the abuse that dishonest and deceived individuals have justified by misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, using something designed to ensure children of slaves weren't denied citizenship to help illegal aliens invade America, and take advantage of our socialist wealth redistribution schemes.

Here's what the 14th Amendment actually says:

Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

It's time we return to the Founders' intent of the Constitution, to their understanding of the laws of nature and of Nature's God, to their understanding of our unalienable rights. Fixing the 'anchor baby' loophole is one of hundreds of fixes needed since we've gotten so far away from honoring the principles of Freedom enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America, the principles which provided for the majestic 5,000 Year Leap!

State Lawmakers Preparing Citizenship Legislation

(AP) – 21 October, 2010

PHOENIX (AP) — Lawmakers in at least 14 states are collaborating on proposed legislation to deny U.S. citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, according to lawmakers, including the sponsor of Arizona's 2010 law targeting illegal immigration.

"We're taking a leadership role on things that need to be fixed in America. We can't get Congress to do it," Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, of Mesa, said Tuesday. "It's a national work group so that we have model legislation that we know will be successful, that meets the constitutional criteria."

The efforts by the state legislators come amid calls to change the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, which grants automatic citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Supporters cite costs to taxpayers for services provided to illegal immigrants and their children.

Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, the founder of a national group of legislators critical of illegal immigration, said the 14th Amendment "greatly incentives foreign invaders to violate our border and our laws." He had a news conference Tuesday in Harrisburg, Pa., on the multistate endeavor.

The effort could run afoul of the language in the 14th Amendment and lead to a court battle over the constitutionality of the law. But Metcalfe said providing birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants is an "ongoing distortion and twisting" of the amendment.

Metcalfe's office said lawmakers in at least 12 other states besides Arizona and Pennsylvania said they were making their own announcements about working on the citizenship legislation.

Those other states: Alabama, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. Legislators from a total of 41 states are involved in a Metcalfe-founded group concerned with immigration issues.

Pearce was the main sponsor of an Arizona law that would require police enforcing other laws to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It was to go into effect this summer, but a judge put on hold key provisions pending the resolution of a legal challenge.

Pearce also was the chief sponsor of a 2007 state law targeting employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

He and fellow Arizona legislators plan a Tuesday afternoon news conference to formally announce the effort.

Pearce said the legislation has yet to be drafted, and he declined to comment on possible approaches, including whether it would focus on the issuance of state birth certificates.

"We're going to address the issue of the unconstitutional declaration of citizenship to those born to non-citizens," Pearce said. "It is a violation of the 14th Amendment."

Ronald Reagan - Progressive Icon?

Posted by Jared Law (912 Project)

Below you'll find an excellent editorial from the Washington Times. They expose the ridiculity of the notion being promoted, that Ronald Reagan was a 'normal conservative,' and that the Tea Party consists of a bunch of extremists.

The fact is that if Ronald Wilson Reagan were alive today, he'd eat the Progressives' lunch. He'd dominate and decimate them. His character was assassinated weekly by the press; they hated him with a vehement passion that hasn't been matched except for the recent hatred by the radical left directed at the Tea Party movement.

And Ronald Wilson Reagan would be a hero of the Tea Party movement.

Which, to be honest, he is.

But he was placed where and when he was by Almighty God, and he fulfilled his purpose in magnificent fashion.

Now it's our turn, as individual Americans.

The power of the Internet and Talk Radio, not to mention Fox News Channel, make it possible to have success DESPITE not having a Ronald Reagan to lead us.

As the intro music to Glenn Beck's program sings: "We Will Be The Key!"

It's almost pathetic to watch, except millions will see that sort of crap, millions who haven't paid attention in the past, and are just tuning in now. We must continue to reach out to all of our peers: our friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers, church congregation members, our clients (if we own a business), our customers, etc.

Before the editorial, here's an excellent video clip contrasting Ronald Wilson Reagan with today's radical leftist 'Progressives' (find dozens more video clips here):

Ronald Reagan Liberal Hero

In 1964, Ronald Reagan said, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." This tendency is on full display as the left tries to redefine the Gipper as the respectable conservative alternative to today's purportedly "extremist" Tea Party movement.

On Sunday, ABC's Christiane Amanpour waxed nostalgic on the "long and venerable tradition of conservatism in this country" as exemplified by President Reagan and William F. Buckley Jr.

"People are looking at the Tea Party and saying this is not conservatism as we knew it but it's extreme," she speculated. The supposed radicalism of today stands in contrast with what she called the "intellectual conservatism" of the Reagan era.

This left-wing promotion to intellectual respectability would come as a surprise to Reagan, who was called a lot of things by liberals but never "intellectual." In general, liberals viewed the Gipper with feelings ranging from condescension to disdain. He was called an extremist, a simpleton, a kook, a Cold War throwback, reactionary, superficial, fanatic and racist. He was either too old to hold office, too crazy, or both.

Reagan fought the extremist tag from his first run for office in California in 1966. Democratic Gov. Pat Brown's campaign characterized Reagan as a washed-up movie actor who was captive of radical ideas far from the mainstream. Liberals thought Reagan was a joke, but the joke was on them when he won the election. President Ford's campaign followed the same playbook when Reagan challenged Ford for the Republican nomination in 1976. The bad blood this tactic generated cost Ford enough conservative support to lose a close race to Jimmy Carter.

In the 1980s, the charges of extremism intensified. When Reagan secured the Republican nomination, Vice President Walter F. Mondale said "his record on everything ... is an abomination" and predicted Reagan would "fall like a crowbar - awfully fast." The New Republic called Reagan an "ex-movie actor, darling of the rabid right ... an international innocent, and an economic extremist." Columnist Mary McGrory called Reagan a "shallow, nuclear cowboy."

Critics, though, had to contend with Reagan's unquestionable popularity, which was written off to charisma. Shortly after the 1980 election, Bill Moyers scoffed that Reagan was elected "because we want to feel good." But as the Gipper told reporters who were trying to make him out to be simultaneously a Machiavellian ideologue and genial dunce, "Fellows, you can't have it both ways. [I] can't be a wild-eyed kook and a square."

The silliest examples of Reagan revisionism try to compare him to President Obama. In 2009, Democratic consultant Bob Shrum wrote that in Reagan's first inaugural speech, he "seems less like today's Republicans than like Barack Obama declaring: 'Yes, we can.' " There can be no doubt that were Mr. Reagan on the political scene today, his response to Obama's "Yes, we can" would be "Oh no, you don't." The left's attempt to recast Reagan in opposition to contemporary conservatism exposes ignorance of both Reagan and conservatism.

MICHELLE OBAMA IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW

Posted on October 14, 2010 at 5:47pm by Meredith Jessup  (BLAZE)
First Lady Michelle Obama stopped in at the Martin Luther King Center on Chicago’s south side Thursday to cast her early vote for the upcoming November midterm elections. But reports from the scene suggest Mrs. Obama may have engaged in political discussion at the polling place — a big no-no according to state election law.

According to a flash story on the Drudge Report, Mrs. Obama finished casting her ballot and stopped to take pictures with residents. It was at this time that electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, says the First Lady inappropriately lobbied for support of her husband’s administration.

“She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going,” Campbell said.

Drudge also points to another witness — a pool reporter — who says the entire conversation took place inside the voting center near the booths.Illinois state law — Sec. 17-29 (a) — states: “No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place.”

Responding to the report Thursday afternoon, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs reportedly defended the First Lady’s actions. “I don’t think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband’s agenda,” Gibbs said.

 

CUBA, CASTRO, CHE AND CHANGE

Posted by Jared Law (912 Project):

The "Change We Can Believe In" promised by Barack Hussein Obama was nothing other than the Fundamental Transformation of America he promised a few days before the General Election in 2008. It was the end of slow "progressivism," and the beginning of a blitzkreig of hostile takeovers of American industries, of Americans' rights, of American wealth, of American land, of American power.

Honestly, it feels like we're being occupied by a foreign army. Instead of brownshirts, Gestapo, and the SS, they're now purple shirts and Obama's READY RESERVE CORPS. And while the only blood that is flowing, a year into the implementation of Obama's near-revolution, is that of the innocent unborn, the very real possibility exists that will not always be the case.

The fringe media is pretending that anybody who dares speak out against the government is violent. Precisely the opposite is true right now; those who are IN control of our nation are the ones who, during the 1960's, were bombing the Pentagon, murdering police officers, etc.

Now they have the power and authority of our federal government, and if honestly feels like they're about to start squeezing us.

One of their heroes is Che Guevara.

Fidel Castro & Che Guevara were ruthless killers. They murdered untold thousands. Che alone was responsible for the murder of well over a hundred souls. When one includes all died by his hands AND those he commanded and trained in the Fidel Castro Communist regime, the number rises to untold thousands. 

While nobody is sure precisely how many were murdered by the Castro regime, it certainly includes just about every soul they found speaking out against them. And it wasn't just the men. Women and children died at the hands of the Communist tyrants who gained control of Cuba via bloody Communist revolution. And generations of Cubans have suffered under the Castro regime. Thankfully, many Cubans have made it to America, and they and their descendants live in America to this day, hoping for the day when they will at least have the chance to return to a free Cuba.

Here's a great article about Che Guevara:

Che Guevara Exposed: The Killer on the Lefties’ T-Shirts

by Humberto Fontova

The U.K. Guardian interviewed Oscar-winning actor Benicio del Toro earlier this year regarding his role as Che Guevara in Stephen Soderbergh’s new movie “Che.” “Dammit This Guy Is Cool!” was the interview title. “Del Toro was fascinated with Che Guevara from the first time he heard his name mentioned in the Rolling Stones song ‘Indian Girl,’” reads the introduction to the interview. “I hear of this guy, and he’s got a cool name, Che Guevara!” says del Toro. “Groovy name, groovy man, groovy politics! So I came across a picture of Che, smiling, in fatigues, I thought, ‘Dammit, this guy is cool-looking!’” 

Well, there you have it. In effect, Benicio del Toro, who fulfilled an obvious fantasy by starring as Che Guevara in the four-and-a-half-hour movie he also co-produced, revealed the inspiration (and daunting intellectual exertion) of millions of Che fans—and not only recent ones. “1968 actually began in 1967 with the murder of Che,” recounts Christopher Hitchens. “His death meant a lot to me, and countless like me, at the time. Che was a role model.”

Upon winning the Cannes Film Festival’s “best actor” award (Sean Penn headed the voting jury) for his “Che” role, del Toro dedicated the award “to the man himself, Che Guevara!” “Through all the awards the movie gets,” gushed del Toro during the award ceremony, “you’ll have to pay your respects to the man!”

DIG THIS

As a celebrity-hipster fan of Che Guevara, del Toro has plenty of company paying these respects. Johnny Depp conspicuously wears a Che pendant from his neck and in a Vibe magazine interview proclaimed his “digging” of Che Guevara.

The New York Times titled its review of Soderbergh’s movie, “Saluting the Rebel Underneath the T-Shirt.” In fact, had del Toro, Depp or Hitchens been born earlier and in Cuba and attempted a rebel lifestyle, their “digging” of Castroite Cuba would have been of a more literal nature. Del Toro, Depp and Hitchens would have found themselves chained and digging ditches and mass graves in a prison camp system inspired by the man they “dig.” Had their digging in a Cuban forced-labor camp lagged, a “groovy” Communist guard might have shattered their teeth with a “groovy” Czech machine-gun butt, or perhaps slashed their buttocks with some “groovy” Soviet bayonets.

In a famous speech in 1961, Che Guevara denounced the very “spirit of rebellion” as “reprehensible.” “Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates,” commanded Guevara. “Instead, they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service.” “Youth,” wrote Guevara, “should learn to think and act as a mass.”

“Those who choose their own path” (as in growing long hair and listening to “Yankee-Imperialist” Rock & Roll) were denounced as worthless “roqueros,” “lumpen” and “delinquents.” In his famous speech, Che Guevara even vowed “to make individualism disappear from Cuba! It is criminal to think of individuals!”

Tens of thousands of Cuban youths learned that Che Guevara’s admonitions were more than idle bombast. In Guevara, the hundreds of Soviet KGB and East German STASI “consultants” who flooded Cuba in the early 1960s found an extremely eager acolyte. By the mid ’60s, the crime of a “rocker” lifestyle (blue jeans, long hair, fondness for the Beatles and Stones) or effeminate behavior got thousands of youths yanked out of Cuba’s streets and parks by secret police and dumped in prison camps with “Work Will Make Men Out of You” emblazoned in bold letters above the gate and with machine gunners posted on the watchtowers. The initials for these camps were UMAP, not GULAG, but the conditions were quite similar.

Today, the world’s largest image of the man that so many hipsters sport on their shirts adorns Cuba’s headquarters and torture chambers for its KGB-trained secret police. Nothing could be more fitting.

Ignorance, of course, accounts for much Che idolatry. But so does mendacity and wishful thinking, all of it boosted by reflexive anti-Americanism. The most popular version of the Che T-shirt, for instance, sports the slogan “fight oppression” under his famous countenance. This is the face of the second in command, chief executioner and chief KGB liaison for a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s and executed more people in its first three years in power than Hitler’s executed in its first six.

THE REAL OPPRESSOR

In 1959, Cuba had a population of 6.4 million people (with a higher per capita income than most Europeans, by the way). According to Freedom House, 500,000 Cubans have passed through Cuba’s prison systems, proportionally more than went through Stalin’s Gulag. And many of Che Guevara’s political prisoners qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history, having suffered prison camps, forced labor and torture chambers for a period three times as long in Fidel and Che’s Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin’s.

The figures for the Che/Castro murders and jailings do not come from any “biased” Cuban-exile source. They’re available from “The Black Book of Communism,” authored by French scholars and translated into English by Harvard University Press, not exactly headquarters for any vast right-wing conspiracy.

In 1956-7, this world-famous “Anti-Imperialist” who often signed his personal correspondence with the moniker “Stalin II,” appalled some of his fellow anti-Batista rebels by applauding the Soviet slaughter of Hungarian freedom fighters. All through the horrifying Soviet massacre, Che dutifully parroted the Soviet script that the workers, peasants and college kids battling Russian tanks in Budapest with small arms and Molotov cocktails were all “Fascists and CIA agents!” who all deserved prompt execution.

“Executions?” Che Guevara exclaimed while addressing the hallowed halls of the U.N. General Assembly Dec. 9, 1964. “Certainly we execute!” he declared, to the claps and cheers of that august body. “And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! This is a war to the death against the revolution’s enemies!”

According to the “Black Book of Communism,” those firing-squad executions had reached 14,000 by the end of the ’60s, the equivalent, given the relative populations, of more than 3 million executions in the U.S. “I don’t need proof to execute a man,” snapped Che to a judicial toady in 1959. “I only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him! … Judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail. We execute from revolutionary conviction.”

Upon arriving in Havana in January 1959 after an utterly bogus guerrilla war (The New York Times breathlessly reported of “thousands dead in single battles!” The official tally compiled by the U.S. embassy after two years of ferocious “civil war” was 184 dead on both sides, half New Orleans’ annual murder tally.), Che Guevara immediately recognized the moat around Havana’s old Spanish fortress La Cabana as a handy-dandy, ready-made execution pit. So he promptly put his firing squads to work in triple shifts.

Edwin Tetlow, Havana correspondent for London’s Daily Telegraph, reported on a mass “trial” orchestrated by Che Guevara in February 1959, where Tetlow noticed the death sentences posted on a board before the trial had started.

“When you saw the beaming look on Che’s face as the victims were tied to the stake and blasted apart by the firing squad,” former Cuban political prisoner, Roberto Martin-Perez, told me, “you saw there was something seriously, seriously wrong with Che Guevara.”

“Castro ordered mass murder,” remembers Martin-Perez, “but for him it was a utilitarian slaughter, in order to consolidate his power. A classic psychopath, the butchery didn’t seem to affect him one way or the order. But Che Guevara, as his chief executioner, relished the slaughter.”

As commander of this prison/execution yard, Che often shattered the skull of the condemned man by firing the coup de grace himself. When other duties tore him away from his beloved execution yard, he consoled himself by viewing the slaughter. Che’s second-story office in La Cabana had a section of wall torn out so he could watch his darling firing squads at work.

A Romanian journalist named Stefan Bacie visited Cuba in early 1959 and was fortunate enough to get an audience with the already famous Che Guevara. Upon entering the chief executioner’s office, Bacie saw Che motioning him over to the office’s newly constructed window. Bacie got there just in time to hear the command of “Fuego!,” hear the blast from the firing squad and see a condemned prisoner man crumple and convulse. The stricken journalist immediately left and composed a poem, titled, “I No Longer Sing of Che.” (“I no longer sing of Che, any more than I would of Stalin,” go the first lines.)

WOMEN AND CHILDREN, TOO

Even as a youth, Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s writings revealed a serious mental illness. “My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any vencido that falls in my hands! With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!” This is from Guevara’s famous “Motorcycle Diaries,” though Robert Redford somehow “overlooked” it while directing his heartwarming movie of the same name.

The Spanish word vencido, by the way, translates into “defeated” or “surrendered.” And indeed, “the “acrid odor of gunpowder and blood” very rarely reached Guevara’s nostrils from actual combat. It came mostly from the close-range murders of unarmed and defenseless men (and boys). Carlos Machado was 15 years old in 1963 when the bullets from the fi ring squad shattered his body. His twin brother and father collapsed beside Carlos from the same volley. All had resisted Castro’s and Che’s theft of their humble family farm.

Rigoberto Hernandez was 17 when Che’s soldiers dragged him from his cell in La Cabana, jerked his head back to gag him and started dragging him to the stake. Little “Rigo” pleaded his innocence to the very bloody end. But his pleas were garbled and difficult to understand. His struggles while being gagged and bound to the stake were also awkward. The boy had been a janitor in a Havana high school and was mentally retarded. His single mother had pleaded his case with hysterical sobs. She had begged, beseeched and finally proven to his “prosecutors” that it was a case of mistaken identity. Her only son, a boy in such a condition, couldn’t possibly have been “a CIA agent planting bombs.”

“Fuego!” and the firing squad volley riddled Rigo’s little bent body as he moaned and struggled awkwardly against his bounds, blindfold and gag. Remember the gallant Che Guevara’s instructions to his revolutionary courts: “Judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail.” And remember that Harvard Law School’s invitation to Fidel Castro to speak on campus, and rollicking ovation he received, happened in the very midst of this appalling and lawless bloodbath.

The victims of this Stalinist bloodbath were not exclusively men and boys. In fact, the Castroites were well ahead of the Taliban. On Christmas Eve 1961, a young Cuban woman named Juana Diaz spat in the face of the executioners who were binding and gagging her. They’d found her guilty of feeding and hiding “bandits” (Che’s term for Cuban rednecks who took up arms to fight his theft of their land to create Stalinist kolkhozes). When the blast from that firing squad demolished her face and torso, Juana was six months pregnant.

The term “hatred” was a constant in Guevara’s writings. Here’s a taste from this icon of flower children: “Hatred as an element of struggle”; “hatred that is intransigent”; “hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him a violent and cold-blooded killing machine.”

A RECORD OF FAILURE

The one genuine accomplishment in Che Guevara’s life was the mass-murder of defenseless men and boys. Under his own gun, dozens died. Under his orders, thousands crumpled. At everything else Che Guevara failed abysmally, even comically. In 1965, while planning a military campaign in the Congo against crack mercenaries commanded by a professional soldier who helped defeat Rommel in North Africa, Che confidently allied himself with “soldiers” who used chicken feathers for helmets and stood in the open waving at attacking aircraft because a muganga (witch doctor) had assured them that the magic water he sprinkled over them would make .50 caliber bullets bounce harmlessly off their bodies. Six months later, Che fled Africa, narrowly escaping with his life and with his tail tucked tightly between his legs.

Two years later, during his Bolivian “guerrilla” campaign, Che split his forces, whereupon they got hopelessly lost and bumbled around, half-starved, half-clothed and half-shod, without any contact with each other for six months before being wiped out. They didn’t even have World War II vintage walkie-talkies to communicate and seemed incapable of applying a compass reading to a map. They spent much of the time walking in circles and were usually within a mile of each other. During this blundering, they often engaged in ferocious firefights against each other.

“You hate to laugh at anything associated with Che, who murdered so many,” says Felix Rodriguez, the Cuban- American CIA officer who played a key role in tracking Guevara down in Bolivia. “But when it comes to Che as ‘guerrilla,’ you simply can’t help but guffaw.”

DREAMS OF DESTRUCTION

Che’s genocidal fantasies included a continental reign of Stalinism. And to achieve this ideal, he craved “millions of atomic victims”—most of them Americans. “The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!” raved Guevara in 1961. “Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus, we’ll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them [the U.S.] alive and fan it to paroxysms!”

This was Che’s prescription for America almost a half-century before Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Al- Zarqawi appeared on our radar screens. Compared to Che Guevara, Ahmadinejad sounds like the Dalai Lama.

On Nov. 17, 1962, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI discovered that Che Guevara’s bombast had substance. They infiltrated and cracked a plot by Cuban agents that targeted Macy’s, Gimbel’s, Bloomingdale’s and Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The holocaust was set to go off the following week, the day after Thanksgiving. Che Guevara was the head of Cuba’s “Foreign Liberation Department” at the time.

A little perspective: For the March 2004 Madrid subway blasts, all 10 of them that killed and maimed almost 2,000 people, al Qaeda used a grand total of 100 kilos of TNT. Castro’s and Che’s agents planned to set off five times that explosive power in some of the biggest department stores on earth, all packed to suffocation and pulsing with holiday cheer on the year’s biggest shopping day. Thousands of New Yorkers, including women and children—actually, given the date and targets, probably mostly women and children—were to be incinerated and entombed.

A month earlier (during what came to be known as the Cuban Missile Crisis), Fidel Castro and Che Guevara had salivated over the prospect of a much more satisfying holocaust. “If the nuclear missiles had remained, we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S., including New York City,” boasted Guevara in November 1962. “The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims.” Che thought he was speaking “off-the-record” to Sam Russell of Britain’s Daily Worker at the time.

But for the prudence of Nikita Khrushchev, the Butcher of Budapest, those “millions of atomic victims” might have come about. Despite the diligent work of Kennedy Camelot court scribes and their ever-eager acolytes in the mainstream media, publishing and Hollywood, many serious analysts conclude that Fidel’s and Che’s genocidal fantasy was a much bigger factor in Khrushchev’s decision to yank the missiles from Cuba than President Kennedy’s utterly bogus bluster, threats and “blockade.”

AMERICAN MEDIA AND THE MAKING OF AN ICON

So for many, the question remains: How did such an incurable doofus, sadist and epic idiot attain such iconic status?

The answer is that this psychotic and thoroughly unimposing vagrant named Ernesto Guevara de la Serna y Lynch had the magnificent fortune of linking up with modern history’s top press agent, Fidel Castro, who—from The New York Times’ Herbert Matthews in 1957 through CBS’ Ed Murrow in 1959 to CBS’ Dan Rather to ABC’s Barbara Walters to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, more recently—always had the mainstream media anxiously scurrying to his every beck and call and eating out of his hand like trained pigeons.

Had Guevara not linked up with Raul and Fidel Castro in Mexico City that fateful summer of 1955—had he not linked up with a Cuban exile named Nico Lopez in Guatemala the year before who later introduced him to Raul and Fidel Castro in Mexico City—everything points to Ernesto continuing his life of a traveling hobo, panhandling, mooching off women, staying in flophouses and scribbling unreadable poetry.

Not to be outdone in the trained-pigeon department, while making their new film, Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro repeatedly visited Havana to coo and peck away as anxiously as those newsmen while the regime tossed out its propaganda crumbs. Indeed, Soderbergh’s very screenplay is based on Che Guevara’s diaries, published in Havana with the foreword written by Fidel Castro himself.

“‘Che’ Film Gets Thumbs up in Cuba,” ran the headline from CNN’s Havana bureau on Dec. 8. Benicio del Toro had just introduced it in person as the highlight of the Havana Film Festival. “It’s a privilege to be here!” gushed del Toro to his Stalinist hosts. “I’m grateful that the Cuban people can see this movie!”

And why shouldn’t Castro’s subjects be allowed to view his movie? Weren’t Stalin’s subjects allowed to watch “The Battleship Potemkin”? Weren’t Hitler’s subjects allowed to watch Leni Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of Will”? Both were produced at the direction of the propaganda ministries of totalitarian regimes—as was mostly the case with Soderbergh and del Toro’s “Che.” A proclamation from Castro’s own propaganda ministry dated Dec. 7, 2008, actually boasts of their role: “Actor Benicio del Toro presented the film (at Havana’s Karl Marx Theater) as he thanked the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC) for its assistance during the shooting of the film, which was the result of seven-year research work in Cuba” (emphasis added). The ICAIC is an arm of Stalinist Cuba’s propaganda ministry.

More than his sadism, megalomania or even his epic stupidity, what most distinguished Ernesto “Che” Guevara from his peers was his sniveling cowardice. In 1967, Che learned that taking on Fidel Castro as agent has its drawbacks. As many of his former colleagues all attest, “Fidel only praises the dead.” So prior to whooping up his revolutionary sidekick, Fidel Castro sent him “to sleep with the fishes.”

Too bad Soderbergh and del Toro didn’t interview the former CIA officers who revealed to me in interviews how Fidel Castro himself, via the Bolivian Communist Party, constantly fed the CIA info on Che’s whereabouts in Bolivia. Including Fidel Castro’s directive to the Bolivian Communists regarding Che and his merry band might have also added drama to their film. “Not even an aspirin,” instructed Cuba’s Maximum Leader to his Bolivian comrades, meaning that Bolivia’s Communists were not to assist Che in any way—“not even with an aspirin,” if Che complained of a headache.

One day before his death in Bolivia, Che Guevara—for the first time in his life—finally faced something properly describable as combat. So he ordered his guerrilla charges to give no quarter, to fight to their last breaths and to their last bullet. With his men doing exactly what he ordered (fighting and dying to the last bullet), a slightly wounded Che snuck away from the firefight and surrendered with fully loaded weapons while whimpering to his captors: “Don’t Shoot! I’m Che. I’m worth more to you alive than dead!” His Bolivian captors viewed the matter differently. In fact, they adopted a policy that has since become a favorite among Americans who encounter (so-called) endangered species threatening their families or livestock on their property: “Shoot, shovel and shut-up.”

Justice has never been better served.

Just remember what we're fighting for here, everybody, and what we face. This isn't just about taxes. April 15th is only the tip of the iceberg!

Barack Hussein Obama and his thugs should be removed; they're doing violence to the Constitution and to our beloved homeland each and every day! BHO should be impeached IMMEDIATELY, but since the Democrats control the Senate, that can't happen...yet.

A Little Hypocracy? I so..............

First Lady Michelle Obama is supposed to be the figurehead for healthy eating. She has recently lead the White House’s charge to get kids to make better food choices, encouraging them to trade in fried foods for fresh ones. But in Milwaukee, WI yesterday campaigning for Democratic Senator Russ Feingold*, Mrs. Obama took part in some “eat as I say, not as I do.”
From the local NBC affiliate, WTMJ:

First lady Michelle Obama thrilled staff and customers when she made a surprise visit to Miss Katie‘s Diner on the city’s near west side.
Mrs. Obama met her cousin and her cousin’s daughter for lunch at the restaurant.
Jennifer Laschen waited on their table.  “I’ve been doing this for 25, 30 years and I’ve never had such a thrill, such an honor to wait on a first lady in my life,” she said.
Laschen said the first lady ordered a cheeseburger and fries.  Mrs. Obama took pictures and signed autographs for the staff at the diner and their customers. [Emphasis added.]

*The story has been updated to reflect that Mrs. Obama was campaigning for Russ Feingold, not Tom Barrett.

Biden: Obama's Brain is Bigger Than His Skull

During a stump for Delaware Senate candidate Chris Coons, Vice President Joe Biden confessed that the president’s brain has outgrown his own skull.
Sounds like quite the affliction. Get well soon, Mr. President.

Commentary on The View Walkoff

Whoppi Goldberg, Jay Behar and Jesse Ventura:  the three stooges.  What more does this commentary have to say to get the point across?

As Reported On Blaze:

Opinion & Media O’Reilly vs. Behar: TV Hosts Defend Actions in Explosive ‘View’ Debate

During the opening segment of his Fox News Channel program Thursday evening, host Bill O’Reilly looked back on his tense debate with the ladies of “The View” earlier in the day, during which co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set. In defending his position against the building of a mosque at Ground Zero, O’Reilly invited conservative radio commentator Laura Ingraham to weigh in. Ingraham called the walk-out “mind-blowing“ and ventured that the stunt may have been ”contrived,” however O’Reilly denied the claim, saying he hadn’t expected it to happen.

Across the cablesphere, Joy Behar took to her HLN soapbox, defending her actions against O’Reilly and his “hate speech.” Her counterpart guest: former Gov. Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

Meanwhile, Glenn wonders why no one ever walks off his show:
