The Chinese Elephant In The Room

China Statue Of Liberty SC The Chinese elephant in the room

Over the past couple of years, Obama and his administration have allowed the Communist Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to hack into our military computer system and steal virtually all our military weapons designs. (He’s supposedly “Commander-in Chief” and thus responsible for all national security issues, including breaches.) What Obama got in return is not clear, since like everything else in his “most transparent administration ever,” his political donors have been largely kept secret. However, given the massive amounts of money Bill Clinton got from the Chinese, it is unlikely that the greedy pigs in the Obama campaign machine didn’t take even more.

Clinton’s quid pro quo included giving the Communist Chinese all sorts of help getting established in places like both ends of the Panama Canal and the Bahamas, selling them the technology to actually get their missiles to hit their targets, and enabling them to continue to steal all of our top-secret nuclear technology. By 2002, they had the capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles, armed with cutting edge atomic warheads, and hit what they were aimed at. It appears that Obama’s quid pro quo is allowing them to set up Special Enterprise Zones across America, and giving them the information to make all our weapons systems totally vulnerable. Yet none dare call any of this treason.

In a previous column – “Obama is Setting Us Up” – I noted the following:

China has made trillions of dollars off us, thanks to massive interest payments on the uncontrolled borrowing by the Obama administration, and from a huge and ever increasing trade deficit, where they export to us way, way more than we export to them. During the Obama ‘presidency,’ China surpassed America as the world’s leading economic power. They have used this money to radically increase the size and sophistication of their military, to the point where it is very questionable whether we could do anything should they move to start taking over other Asian countries, like the Philippines, Japan, or South Korea.

Add to this the recent robust moves by China to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. According to Dick Bove, vice president of equity research at Rafferty Capital Markets:

“If the dollar loses status as the world’s most reliable currency the United States will lose the right to print money to pay its debt. It will be forced to pay this debt,” Bove said. “The ratings agencies are already arguing that the government’s debt may be too highly rated. Plus, the United States Congress, in both its houses, as well as the president are demonstrating a total lack of fiscal credibility.

It’s predicted by some economists that the dollar may be dumped by 2015; and if that happens, with the shambles the economy is in due to Obama and his Marxist minions ramming socialism down our throats, America will implode, and chaos will reign supreme. Which is what China is aiming for, and where all this is leading.

For a number of years now, China has seen its milennia-old dream of world domination coming within its grasp. Unfortunately, its economy has not grown fast enough, due to its lack of energy to fuel the engines of growth. It has been competing for every drop of oil that’s out there, but it’s not enough. This is where a collapsing U.S.A. comes into the equation.

It has recently become clear that our oil and natural gas resources are far larger than those of any other nation. With a collapsing economy and society, China could a) buy everything it wanted – land, extraction, and processing infrastructure; or b) militarily crush us, take it, and use us as forced labor.

There is a very disturbing and ugly pattern to what the Chinese have been doing, ever since the Communists under Mao Zedong drove the Nationalist Chinese, under Chiang Kai-shek, into exile on the island of Taiwan. Leftists in America, whether they called themselves communists like Obama’s mentors Frank Marshall Davis and Bill Ayers, or progressives like all the Marxists and neo-fascists who dominate the Democrat Party, have deluded themselves into believing that they can manipulate and dominate the Chinese. Tragically for America, it is obvious that the opposite is true.

The question is: is it still possible to turn all this around?

The answer is: yes, and the first step is to clean the traitors out of OUR government.

Time Running Out For Illinois’ Gun Grabbing Politicians

Illinois SC Time running out for Illinois’ gun grabbing politicians

If Illinois lawmakers cannot pass a concealed carry law acceptable to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals by June 9th, the constitutionally prescribed right to keep and bear arms will immediately take effect in the Prairie State. That is, just as codified in the 2nd Amendment, all Illinois gun owners will have the right to bear a weapon anywhere they wish in the state.

On December 11th of last year, a 3 judge panel from the 7th Circuit ruled Illinois’ near-total ban on the carry of firearms unconstitutional. The 47 page decision in Moore v Madigan gave the Illinois legislature 180 days to craft legislation “…consistent with the public safety and the Second Amendment as interpreted in this opinion…”

Last week, the Illinois House voted 85-30 in favor of a new concealed carry statute that would institute both a “shall issue” provision and statewide preemption for the first time. Under the terms of the statute, the state would be required to issue a concealed carry license to any Illinois resident who completes a mandatory training program and pays a $150 tax. In addition, the new law would take precedence over any local regulations. For example, the statute passed by the City of Chicago banning “assault weapons” would bow to  statewide rules.

Though one would hardly realize it from the state’s record of vehemently anti-gun rights legislation, the vast majority of Illinois is very pro-gun! Yet just as Chicago liberals have spent decades forcing their brand of anti-second Amendment lunacy on the rest of the state, the Chicago-dominated, Senate Executive Committee voted down the House bill on Tuesday, demanding all anti-gun regulations of the Windy City and other localities remain part of any new legislation. The Chicago clan also want to incorporate strict mental health review provisions along with a mandatory 16 hour training program in any new law.

Will members of the Illinois House and Senate get together on constitutional, concealed carry legislation that will win the blessing of fiercely anti-gun Governor Pat Quinn prior to the court-imposed June 9th deadline?  If a new law has not been fashioned, the State of Illinois could be subject to the United States Constitution for the first time in decades!

“Nobody wants us to not do anything and the federal court ruling take effect and thereby allow ‘constitutional carry’,” said Democrat State Sen John Sullivan. A predictable statement from a typical Democrat. Indeed, what a frightening thought for Illinois’ ruling Democrat Party—constitutional rights in the form of the 2nd Amendment actually being granted to residents of a state whose lawmakers have so fervently ignored the document for such a very long time!

Should Democrats fail to resolve their differences, it will be very interesting to see just how many folks in Illinois strap on pistols on June 10th —concealed or otherwise—in response to their new-found rights.

Mr. Rubio, Fold Up Your Tent And Go Home

Rubio SC Mr. Rubio, fold up your tent and go home

When Lyndon Johnson lost the support of Walter Cronkite for his prosecution of the war in Viet Nam, he was sufficiently impressed that he pulled out of the 1968 presidential election. Recognizing the gravity of this defeat, Johnson said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”

While the squishy “Republicans” at the “Weekly Standard” are in no way as influential as “Uncle Walter” was in 1968, the advice from William Kristol of the Weekly Standard to Marco Rubio to “get out” of this effort to “fix” immigration is nonetheless quite telling.

During a recent interview about the Senate’s efforts to provide amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, Kristol spoke directly to the Gang of Ocho’s Senator Marco Rubio – a Cuban American from South Florida, saying “He should walk away from it. He should say, ‘I made a good faith effort, but you know what, this is not a piece of legislation [I should support after all].’”

Labeling the Gang of Ocho’s “Schumer/Menendez Amnesty and Democrat Party Registration” legislation a “big government’ bill,  Kristol warned Rubio that what he was helping to create is in fact just another bill that will not do what it was intended to do.

In a surprising moment of clarity, Kristol – a RINO in good standing himself – implored Rubio to reconsider his quixotic effort to grant amnesty to those who are here illegally, saying,  “Think of the trust you have to have in bureaucracy to make all this work. There’ll be certifications and border security, there’ll be tests of whether people paid back taxes. … If you like Obamacare, you should like this immigration bill. And I honestly think conservatives should oppose it on those grounds alone.”

The money quote in this interview came toward its conclusion when Kristol added, “I’m a liberal, as you know, on immigration reform. I was more liberal than you were, I think, in ’06, ’07. I’ve got to say, I couldn’t vote for this bill. I just don’t think it’s good conservative governance, and I don’t think there’s any need to compromise with Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama at this point. There’s no crisis.”

Mister Rubio, you have lost “Walter” Kristol. The next move is up to you.

Obama Eligibility Lawsuits In Alabama And Florida

birth certificate Obama eligibility lawsuits in Alabama and Florida

Obama being born out of an apple pie in the middle of a Kansas wheat field as Toby Keith sings the National Anthem—such are the contents of an amicus brief filed by an Alabama Democrat Party that has resorted to ridicule in responding to the Obama eligibility case McInnish-Goode v Chapman, which will be held in front of Judge Roy Moore and the Alabama Supreme Court!  In an exclusive story reported by WND reporter Drew Zahn, the flippant nature of this brief indicates that the Obama team will be unable to brush off legitimate questions about how he can serve as a U.S. President without showing legitimate and verifiable evidence of eligibility!

Brought by Virgil Goode and Hugh McInnish, the case seeks to force Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman to verify eligibility of all candidates on the 2012 ballot.  Reporter Zahn points out that in 2010, Judge Moore (the “Ten Commandments” judge) remarked to WND about people who rely on their feelings to ascertain the fact that Obama is U.S.-born. “This is the strangest thing…the president has never produced evidence in the face of substantial evidence he was not born in our country,” said Judge Moore.

A Florida eligibility lawsuit brought by Attorney Larry Klayman on behalf of his client (Michael C. Voeltz) was filed on April 29, 2013 (case no. SC 13-560) in Florida’s First District Court of Appeals. “No physical paper copy has ever been presented to firmly establish Respondent Obama was indeed born within the United States,” maintains Klayman in the suit that asks the Court to direct Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner to issue an opinion regarding BHO’s eligibility to serve as president!  This latest action asks for reinstatement of Voeltz v. Obama, ”which was improperly dismissed by court order dated 2-8-2013.”  The Florida case points out that Obama’s father was a British subject born in Kenya, which was a British colony at the time of birth of Obama, Jr.  “The U.S. Supreme Court has defined this term (NBC) to mean a child born to two citizen parents (R.245-260). . .Obama is not an NBC as required by the U.S. Constitution and therefore ineligible to be President.”

Earlier court filings include the sworn affidavit of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, dated June 12, 2012, stating that Obama’s online birth certificate is a “computer generated document, manufactured electronically, and that did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.”  Arpaio swears under oath that he and his investigators have found probable cause of document forgery, meaning that the certificate cannot be used as a legal verification for Barack Obama’s date, place, or circumstances of birth!

“It would be paradoxical beyond measure if the real and grave question of the legitimacy of the de facto President, a question which lies at the very heart of our American Constitutional Government, were left unresolved for want of the simplest of documents, a birth certificate,” states Klayman in the Alabama suit.

We’ll soon find out if the State Supreme Court agrees with him.

Jim DeMint And The Immigrantion IQ Debate

richwineheritage Jim DeMint and The Immigrantion IQ Debate

When South Carolina’s Republican Senator Jim DeMint resigned to head the Heritage Foundation most “outside the Beltway” conservatives were at first apprehensive about the net effect it would cause.  The thinking on DeMint’s move slowly evolved to “Jim can do things outside of the system he can’t do/say while in the Senate.” It sounded reasonable – after all this was Jim DeMint.

Since he took over Heritage DeMint has been an irritant to the Gang of Eight as they fight to destroy America by erasing our borders, but time has shown that alas he is not the “all in” warrior for our safety we assumed he would be.  The abrupt “resignation” of Jason Richwine, a Harvard trained PhD, from his position as a Heritage Foundation analyst/writer tells us a different story about DeMint.

Richwine HAD to be banished from Heritage for committing the heretical outrage of telling the truth about the destructive effect mass waves of Hispanic immigration have had on America’s economy.  Worse still Richwine took the “head on” position that the damage has been caused because of the lower IQ of these immigrants.

Richwine exposed Teddy Kennedy’s lies about the probable results of his Immigration Reform legislation. We know now that it was a clever gambit to replace the Democrat votes being lost in the South. Today we have veritable conga line of new low IQ immigrants eager to reward the Democrat Party for holding the door open for them.

The whines and howls that followed from the Left were of course to be expected. It is simply “not allowed” to point out differences in IQ among various races and ethnic groups unless you are saying a minority group (usually Asian) has a slightly higher IQ than any other.

Nevertheless, other unexpected voices have joined in the attacks on Richwine – those who should be defending him and using the data he presented demonstrate the lower IQ immigrant costs us $6.3 TRILLION.

After the first squeal from the Left about Jason Richwine’s  R-a-c-i-s-m,  within three days Jim DeMint folded and begged for mercy.  Heritage denounced its own White Paper on IQ and race by bleating its findings, “… in no way reflect the positions of The Heritage Foundation.” How we wish they did.

Jim DeMint agreed with the Left that it is better to never mention what wave immigration has done to America because it makes for uncomfortable evenings at DC cocktail parties.

Maybe we are better off with DeMint out of the Senate.

Here is the full Jason Richwine paper:

Multiple Obama Birth Certificates Surface In Alabama Eligibility Case

Barack Obama between flags SC Multiple Obama Birth Certificates Surface In Alabama Eligibility Case

Not that we are surprised, but now there are multiple copies of Barack Hussein Obama’s “real” birth certificate that are surfacing and they are clearly indicating fraud. In a rare move, the Alabama Democrat Party has submitted an amicus brief in the McInnish Goode v Chapman Appeal case. The reason being is most likely because the Alabama Supreme Court has Chief Justice Roy Moore presiding over it. The Alabama Democrat Party just submitted a completely different birth certificate than the one that was posted at the White House website in 2011.

Larry Klayman, the plaintiff’s counsel submitted the forgery of Barack Hussein Obama’s birth certificate that was posted to whitehouse.gov on 4-27-2001 (seen below). Fogbow/Jack Ryan obot group produced another bogus one. Still a third birth certificate has been submitted by Alabama Democrats to the Supreme Court.

Remember, this court is being presided over by Chief Justice Roy Moore, who supported Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, when he believed Obama to be a usurper and denied following orders to deploy to Iraq until Obama proved his eligibility as part of keeping his oath (ironically Lakin was not supported by Mr. Oathkeeper Stewart Rhodes). Another justice on the court by the name of Tom Parker will also hear the case. He has stated in a previous case:

“McInnish has attached certain documentation to his mandamus petition, which, if presented to the appropriate forum as part of a proper evidentiary presentation, would raise serious questions about the authenticity of both the “short form” and the “long form” birth certificates of President Barack Hussein Obama that have been made public.”

Out Of The Closet And Into Identity Politics

gay pride flag 3 SC Out of the Closet and into Identity Politics

I’ve never sought the spotlight.

Though I’m coming out to the world, I intend to guard my privacy.

I’m making this blanket statement in part to keep rumors and misunderstandings at bay.

I’m not just a white, Catholic Republican. I’m not just a Reagan conservative. I’m a heterosexual.

Like Jason Collins of the Washington Wizards, I just want everyone in America to know my sexual orientation.

And like Collins — the veteran NBA center who became the first major male professional athlete to announce he was gay and got himself plastered on the cover of Sports Illustrated — I just want to protect my privacy.

I won’t go into any more specifics about my personal life or answer any questions at this press conference.

I’ll only say that I’m happily married and that my partner is not a man. Let’s leave it at that, please, because I deserve my privacy.

With all due apologies to Jason Collins, or whoever actually wrote the words I borrowed from his Sports Illustrated cover story, this whole gay-sports thing is nuts and about to get nuttier.

Collins made headline news by coming out as the first gay NBA player. As I write this, the country’s top sports “journalists” are working overtime to break a story on the first openly gay NFL player.

Then will come the National Hockey League. Then Major League Baseball. Then Major League Paintball…

Not long ago — OK, 50 years ago — Sports Illustrated put athletes on its covers because they did things only Mickey Mantle, Jimmy Brown, Bobby Orr, or Wilt Chamberlain could do on the playing field, not in the sack.

Now Jason Collins’s sexual affiliation is the biggest news in sports? Does anyone know, or care, how many points per game he scores or how many shots he blocks?

No. Being gay and him being willing to announce it to the entire sports world is what’s important now.

So let’s get this story straight: Collins is gay — or rather, a gay center. That’s wonderful. I couldn’t be happier for him. Maybe he’ll be able to get a role in a network sitcom when he retires.

So what’s the real issue here? It’s not about discrimination. Being gay is irrelevant. It didn’t hurt or help Collins on or off the court.

No bigoted coach ever said to him, “Jason, I don’t care how many rebounds or blocked shots you have. You’re gay. From now on we’re starting the heterosexual.”

I’m sure most of Collins’ family and teammates have known he was gay for years; but because they’re decent and good people who cared about his privacy, they kept the big sports “news” to themselves.

This isn’t about sports at all. It’s partly a case of identity politics.

That’s why Obama was in such a rush to congratulate Collins on his courage to come out and say he was a proud member of the Democrat Party’s most loyal sex-based constituency.

Collins’ coming out is also the latest example of the overhyphenization of America. We’re no longer male- or female- or black- or white- or Latino- Americans.

Now we’re also gay or straight.

“I’m not a center; I’m a gay-center.”

“I’m not a gay switch-hitting centerfielder; I’m a bisexual-switch-hitting centerfielder.”

Who will be the first openly gay NFL quarterback or long snapper?

The first openly gay left-handed Latino relief pitcher? The first openly gay goalie? The first openly gay goalie from a country other than Canada?

I don’t care. Gays have been playing pro sports forever. Big deal. No one asked, and no one told.

Sports should be about winning and teamwork and accomplishment. Owners, coaches, and fans don’t care what color their star players’ skin is, what their ethnicities are, or who they sleep with — and neither should the rest of us.

Wake me up when this embarrassing gay-pride parade is over, please.

Immigration Reform Guarantees Democrat Control Forever

 

Democrat SC Immigration reform guarantees Democrat control forever

Every thinking American, whether conservative or liberal knows that when the feckless Republicans in the Congress fold and stab us in the back by erasing our borders Democrat Party control of our lives will be assured forever.

The sad truth is that we are reduced to hoping that the horrific terror attack on Boston will defeat the Democrats’ plans to swamp our country with ready- made Democrat voters because there seems to be little reason to hope the Republicans will do so.

There are several reasons we should be concerned about the Democrat plan to erase our borders.  Nevertheless, we cannot depend on Senate or Congressional Republicans to come clean and tell us the truth.

The 844 page (“You have to pass to find out what it contains) “comprehensive” immigration reform bill contains at least five dangerous elements.

No matter what Chuck Schumer has ordered McCain, Graham and Rubio to say, this is an amnesty bill. It will immediately create 11 million new Democrats andperhaps another 20 million new Democrats as a result of the “anchor” provisions of our ridiculous immigration laws.  The vast majority of these new Democrats are here in America, not to be Americans but to be Mexicans in America or Jamaicans in America and so on. These people are here for what they can get FROM America NOT what they can add to America.  They will vote themselves every benefit they can.  They will not stop until there is nothing left to carry away.

Even when the Democrats realize that they are now in charge forever and decide to try to stop supporting these freeloaders, built- in entitlement programs already in place will bleed us white. This will cause huge social problems.  This will be a major lose-lose because these people will bring nothing but outstretched palms to our big cities at the expense of lower paid, lower educated minority workers.

Government spending will be huge while the new Democrats settle in but become endlessly expansive once they get the hang of the system.

Border security will disappear and the axiom that a nation that loses control of its borders ceases to be a nation will take hold.

America will become a less free, less attractive choice for the kind of legal immigrants we want. Combined with the devastating effects of Obamacare this could keep skilled doctors from coming here.

Sure, these are dire predictions.   But which dire conservative predictions made by conservatives have not come true, and which rosy liberal predictions about anything have ever come true?

Democrat Storm Troopers Find Gadsden Flag “offensive”

Dont Tread on Me1 Democrat storm troopers find Gadsden flag “offensive”

Democrats love to flex their political muscles in the faces of anyone, but they take special pleasure in rubbing the noses of conservatives in the dirt. They are nasty lowlifes, after all.

Recently, the Democrats of the City Council of New Rochelle, New York, a Big Apple bedroom community, decided that the United Veterans Memorial & Patriotic Association could not fly a Gadsden flag (known more widely as the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag) in front of the town’s armory. One of the five skunks who voted to take this action cried that the flag, which is a symbol of pride to actual patriotic Americans, was “offensive” to him.

In a surprisingly hateful and stupid display, even for a liberal Democrat, Council member Barry Fertel likened the Gadsden flag to the Confederate “Stars and Bars” battle flag and a Gay pride flag.  When veterans at the Council’s public hearing  said American patriots died fighting under the Don’t Tread On Me flag during the Revolution (and more recently during battles in Iraq and Afghanistan), Fertel replied, “People died fighting under the Confederate flag too.”

When liberals are given power, laws they don’t like such as “theft under color of law” mean nothing.  Gleefully adding insult and illegality to their fiat, the Council not only ordered the flag be taken down; it ordered that it be confiscated.

Before voting to order the flag be taken down, each of the five liberal Democrats took a turn attacking the flag as a “symbol of the TEA Party.”

Drunk with the power of their 5 to 2 majority, the abuse of logic and patriotism continued with member Brian Sussman, a local Democrat Party District Leader who likened the flag to the Nazi’s swastika, a Mickey Mouse flag, and finally to simple graffiti.  Words cannot accurately describe the level of contempt people like this guy deserve. It is truly a disturbing example of what America has become under the psychopathic rule of the vicious Left.

If there is any good news in this story, it is that the Thomas More Law Center, which is representing the veterans, is confident it can beat these thugs in court and get this ruling overturned.

Free Healthcare For Illegals Continues The ObamaCare Way

Illigal Aliens SC Free healthcare for illegals continues the ObamaCare way

In 2009, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated that the yearly cost of providing healthcare for illegal aliens was $10.7 billion. It was a difficult figure to approximate as hospitals are not permitted to ask if an emergency room patient is in the country illegally. After all, should an exact total of monies spent even on the delivery of anchor babies (about $10,000 per “anchor”) become known, it would enrage an American public which Democrats especially hope to keep blissfully ignorant about one of the principle reasons for skyrocketing healthcare and health insurance prices—uncompensated costs.

In 1986, EMTALA was signed into law. Part of the COBRA act, EMTALA requires hospitals to provide treatment to anyone who needs it regardless of citizenship status or ability to pay. As the government does NOT reimburse hospitals for such care, a number of hospitals nationwide were forced to close their doors, being unable to provide millions of dollars in free services.

Though hospitals are able to recoup a minimal portion of this massive expense via Medicaid reimbursement, the only way to remain solvent is by raising prices to paying patients. Naturally, this drives up the cost of both healthcare and health insurance.

Enter Barack Obama and his namesake “healthcare” program. When arguing the constitutionality of ObamaCare before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli claimed that the individual mandate requiring everyone either purchase health insurance or pay a penalty was necessary in order to stop the  practice of charging “…uncompensated costs … directly to other market participants…”

In short, the Regime was ostensibly outraged that responsibility for payment of these uncompensated costs was being placed on others by healthcare providers who routinely  “…charge[d] higher rates in order to cover the cost of uncompensated care…”  Mr. Obama’s Justice Department minions argued that although millions of Americans did not WANT to purchase health insurance, the federal government had both a right and an obligation to force them to do so in order to halt the “unfair practice” of the uninsured taking advantage of and driving up prices for the insured!

So by charging EVERYONE, whether they wanted insurance or not, there would be no more unfair, uncompensated costs because everyone would be paying for healthcare!  The freeloaders, formerly gaming the system by getting free care paid by others, would now be forced to pay their “fair share!”

Did Congress consider changing the EMTALA LAW–the real reason for uncompensated costs–rather than forcing ObamaCare on the American people? Of course not.  Will illegals have to buy healthcare? No. They will STILL be getting “free” care, paid by those who ARE required to buy ObamaCare approved healthcare or pay a “penalty.” (A “TAX” if you’re Justice Roberts.)

In short, thanks to ObamaCare, billions in healthcare costs for illegals will be neatly covered up by the individual mandate. And Democrats will eagerly state that illegals are NOT being covered by ObamaCare and that any healthcare expense associated with illegals is at worst minimal.

It’s the LEAST the Democrat Party can do for 30 million undocumented voters, isn’t it!
