Zuckerberg And Rubio: Amnesty’s Two Indistinguishable Amigos

Zuckerberg SC Zuckerberg and Rubio: Amnesty’s two indistinguishable amigos

Mark Zuckerberg and Marco Rubio have become amnesty’s two indistinguishable amigos. They have morphed into Marco Zuckerberg and Mark Rubio.

You’ve heard the radio spots and seen the television ads featuring Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio talking about the dire need to do something about the “immigration problem” (not “illegal immigration” but immigration.)

During a minute’s worth of huffing and puffing, Rubio tries to bulldoze past any logical objections to erasing our borders with faux tough talk designed to impress us with his credentials as an “insider’ who KNOWS more than we do.

Rubio’s media crusade is funded by liberal Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

To impress us, Rubio uses buzz phrases like “conservative immigration reform,” “tough border triggers,” and “no giveaways for lawbreakers.”  That putting these words in Rubio’s mouth is not only breathtakingly insulting to true conservatives (but simply not true) shouldn’t resonate with a liberal like Zuckerberg; but Rubio has been “playing a conservative on TV” long enough to know better.

These spots betray a gross underestimation of conservatives.  Zuckerberg probably believes conservatives marry their sisters and are far less intelligent than he is, but Rubio apparently thinks conservatives are pining for a way to suck up to Hispanics the way white liberals sucked up to blacks and elected Barack Obama.

A new report from Public Policy Polling (a Democrat firm) shows that Rubio is self-immolating with these insulting spots. Conservatives who once saw him as an acceptable GOP nominee for president in 2016 are running away from him in obvious disgust over his decision to do Chuck Schumer’s bidding by erasing our borders.

During the period from May 6 – 9, when asked about Rubio as the Republicans’ 2016 nominee, “very conservative” and “somewhat conservative” respondents supported him at 17% and 18% respectively. That’s down from 26% and 22% from these groups just a month before.

The supreme irony of Marco Rubio’s foolishness is that Hispanics, who hold themselves aloof from participation in our civic life and wait for the best “goodies” package offer before deciding who to support, are naïve enough to believe Rubio’s tough talk and don’t like it.  His support among Hispanics has fallen 5% in the same period.

At this point, only wild-eyed liberals like Zukerberg believe that these spots can erase our borders. Nevertheless, a cunning liberal like Schumer might be using these spots as an opportunity to destroy the foolish Mr. Rubio’s chances of ever running for president.

Blurring the lines between “amnesty amigos” Marco Zuckerberg and Mark Rubio will not end well for the Senator from Florida.

A Matter Of Trust

Obama Who Is Benghazi SC A Matter of Trust

I don’t mind doing in-depth analysis. I do a show that treats you like critical-thinking adults, not low-information voting children who can only handle enough truth and data to fit into a single Tweet.

But sometimes in-depth analysis isn’t required. Sometimes all the data and argumentation in the world simply comes down to one question—who do you trust?

The details surrounding the aptly named “gang of eight” immigration bill and Benghazi are complicated for sure. For those of us out here in the cheap-seats, they’re also largely unattainable. We simply don’t have the resources it requires to investigate them exhaustively. Therefore, we rely on those who do to make it plain for us.

But what happens when there are conflicting accounts of those details? Then, it becomes a matter of trust.

Over the years, I’ve often been accused of demanding perfection; but that’s not true at all. What I demand is the same thing you demand of me—integrity. Integrity isn’t perfection because only one Man is, which is why the rest of us need Him.

Integrity is a consistency between right belief and right behavior. Even the best of us fall down, make bad calls, have blind spots, and commit terrible mistakes at times. But over the long haul of someone’s life and calling, you either see that consistency or you don’t. They either get it right much more often than they get it wrong or they don’t.

When it comes down to Benghazi, who has integrity here?

Is it Gregory Hicks, a man the Obama Regime once thought enough of to make him their second in command in all of Libya? Or is it President Obama? Is it Hicks, who has faithfully served administrations in both parties during a 22-year career in the U.S. State Department that has spanned six countries (and has been awarded a dozen merit pay or honor awards during his tenure)? Or is it Obama, the man who tells the child killers at Planned Parenthood “God bless you,” tries to make Christian institutions and companies provide abortifacients for their employees, and has disregarded the Constitution countless times already?

That one is a no-brainer. But so is this next one.

When it comes to illegal immigration, who has the integrity here?

Is it former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (the man now at the head of the Heritage Foundation), or is it the group of current U.S. Senators that make up the “gang of eight?” I really admire DeMint, but he isn’t infallible (and I have disagreed with him before.) But if you could only choose one to get into a Constitutional foxhole with, who would you rather have your back? Jim DeMint, or John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Bob Menendez, and Charles Schumer?

Case closed.

Crimes Of The Illegals

“If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all nations, kindreds [sic] tongues and peoples; and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.”– Frederick Douglass

Under Herbert Hoover’s presidency during the Great Depression, local governments ordered the deportation of illegal aliens to make jobs available to American 
citizens who desperately needed work.

Harry Truman introduced legislation in 1951 to reduce the illegal immigration problem.

And then in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported approximately 1.3 million Mexican nationals due to the growing threat to national security and the American economy.

This current administration walks contrary to the presidents who actually served those they were responsible to represent! At a time when America is in an “economic crisis,” Obama and his minions (Psalm 12:8) have again displayed their disdain for America and her people by opening our borders and welcoming illegal immigration … and the crimes illegals commit along with it.

First, is it not this administration that attacks governors and even sues states on our southern border for enforcing the laws against illegal immigrants? Yes, it is.

Is it not this administration that also recently granted amnesty to 800,000 illegals so this president could round up some more young voters? Yes, it is.

Is it not the Department of Justice that has bullied states over voter-ID laws (and has even gone so far as to claim it is racial profiling) to ensure that illegal aliens have free reign in America? Yes, it is. Attorney General Eric Holder has now even called amnesty for illegals a “civil right,” as if to say the illegals have a right to break the law. This should come as no surprise. (Do not forget that this is the same attorney general who placed guns into the hands of violent criminals in Mexico to blame the American people for the crimes he contrived through “Fast and Furious.”)

On the other hand, is not this administration responsible for violating every American citizen (suspected terrorist) who desires to fly out of an airport when the TSA frisks him or her at the security checkpoint, which clearly violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution? Yes, it is.

What? We are required to show our IDs to get on an airplane, but we are not required to show IDs when we vote?

Case in point: This administration is not only overlooking the illegals, but encouraging illegal immigrants while harassing American citizens. This is not only illegal, but it is treasonous.

The borders are wide open without and within, and this administration is there to ensure they remain open. What people may not realize are the repeated crimes against the American people by illegal aliens who have been deported time and time again. The Department of Homeland Security has even gone so far as to release hundreds of illegals out of prisons, letting them loose on the American people. It is time that America begins to hear the cries of the victims and bring forth justice – and it starts with this administration.

The crimes committed in America by illegal aliens are horrendous. But because the American people allow this administration to remain in power, we have repeat offenders emboldened to commit crimes at will, killing our police, raping our women, and even kidnapping our young.

America, not to speak is to speak; and not to act is to act. It is time to speak and to act. The American people cannot stand down. Silence is consent.

The Department of Homeland Security estimates that immigrants (legal and illegal) comprise 20 percent of inmates in prisons and jails. Here are some of their crimes committed against the American people (Warning: disturbing content):

Terror: The Writing Is On The Wall

“The system of terror was essential to Stalinism. … Terror was the creation to mold politically the control that they wanted.”– Condoleezza Rice, “Joseph Stalin: Red Terror”

As we look back at the atrocities that have devastated America over the past 12 years since 9/11, one has to reflect upon history and see how it is that past dictators have profited from the use of “terror.”

For example: Hitler was responsible for attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war. He perpetuated a war against the “enemies” he himself created. His propagandists had the Germans believing they were under attack; and all the while, Hitler was the one doing the attacking.

Hitler was also responsible for sending his brownshirts to incite the people so he could play the role of problem-solver. Eighty million Germans refused to believe Hitler was guilty of these crimes until 12 million of their fellow citizens were slaughtered.

Then it was too late.

This is, in fact, what history teaches us.

And now to the present.

It seems rather strange that when America is attacked, one does not question why it is that the government is right there asking the people to relinquish or forfeit their rights – rights hundreds and thousands of men and women have fought, bled, and died to give us.

Listen to what Gen. Douglas MacArthur said of the United States government back in 1957:

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. …

Yes, he said this in 1957.

You would think that this is what our government said on Sept. 11, 2001.

It was.

“Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”– George W. Bush, Sept. 20, 2001

After this statement, the un-Patriot Act was signed into law; and now Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights are violated as they are searched at almost every airport in America through the TSA’s pretended authority. And the government, step-by-step, aggrandizes power to itself while consuming individual liberty.

After 9/11, America was told that we were under an extremist Islamic threat. And now this administration (which celebrates Ramadan in the White House, gives F-16s and tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood, continuously sympathizes with radical Islam, opens the borders for illegal immigration, and runs guns to Mexican gun cartels to blame the American people) has now extended the definition of a terrorist to mean anyone who happens to be a patriot, a Christian, a gun owner, a pro-lifer, etc. – in essence, an American. (Isaiah 5:20)

Just this last week, the Equal Opportunity branch of the military put out a training manual labeling “evangelical Christians” as the No. 1 threat to America. Within a week, the “USA Today” front page stated “Terror Returns” after the Boston marathon bombing; and officials are stating that the suspects are possibly “homegrown terrorists.”

This isn’t the first time our government has labeled Americans as terrorists. Let’s go to Waco, Oklahoma City, and Ruby Ridge to see who was responsible for the terror enacted:

Border Insecurity: Citizens Track Surge Of Illegal Immigration!

Wake up, America!!

USA Today Changing Use Of “Illegal Immigrant”

USA Today SC USA Today Changing Use of “Illegal Immigrant”

Following last week’s announcement that the Associated Press was adjusting its Stylebook and dropping the use of the term “illegal immigrant,” USA Today issued a memo last night that largely followed the AP’s example.

From: Coon, William
Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 6:16 PM
To: USAT ED Virginia Staff; USAT ED Field Staff

Subject: Change in USA TODAY style on illegal immigration

You probably have heard that the Associated Press recently changed its style on the term illegal immigrant. Starting tonight, USA TODAY is also changing its style. It is not exactly the same as AP’s, but the upshot is that we will no longer use the term illegal immigrant outside of direct quotes. Here’s the new style:

 

illegal immigration

The term illegal immigration is acceptable, but do not label people as illegal immigrants, except in direct quotes. Undocumented immigrant, undocumented worker and unauthorized immigrant are acceptable terms — depending on accuracy, clarity and context — for foreign nationals who are in the country illegally. An alternative is to use a phrase such as “people who entered the U.S. illegally” or “living in the country without legal permission.”

Avoid using the word alien to refer to immigrants, except in quoted matter or official government designations. Do not use illegal or illegals as a noun. It is considered pejorative by most immigrants. Migrant can be used instead of immigrant in a tight space.

Heaven forbid that we offend anyone who has entered the country illegally.

False Prophets And Fake Presidents

Obama Prophet SC False prophets and fake presidents

“I hear all the time the expression ‘the good old days.’ Well, the good old days, we forget they have been good for some, but they weren’t good for everybody. It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling people back … for blacks to be back in the back of the bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet, and for immigrants to be on their side of the border.”

So says Rev. Luis León, Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, situated not far from the White House.  León’s remarks were part of his Easter message March 31, with the First Family in attendance.  His church and his ministry endorse homosexuality, homosexual marriage, and practicing homosexuals in ‘ministry.’  Obviously, the ‘good’ pastor denies Scripture is inerrant, Christ’s clear assurance. Thus León, completely contradicts the Lord he claims to serve, which is, quite frankly, insane.

“It drives me crazy . . . “

Yes, one would have to be crazy to point the finger of accusation at fellow pastors and other Christian believers, accusing them of ridiculous things, on Easter Sunday no less.  León did not name the “captains of the religious right” who drive him crazy.  In the present day, such captains might include Tony Perkins, Mat Staver, Gary Bauer, Sarah Palin, Cal Thomas, Jay Sekulow, Billy Graham, or James Dobson, all good people holding to traditional values for legitimate reasons, none of which have anything to do with discrimination or persecution.

Not one of these good people has ever suggested blacks return to the back of the bus.  Blacks have not been forced to the back of the bus for more than 50 years.  Just as a reminder, it was the Christian Right in the 19th century that freed the slaves, helped slaves escape the South, died for justice in the Civil War, and ministered to the suffering of all colors during and after the war. Without the religious right, the civil rights movement would not have gained altitude.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Christian Republican, just for the record. Without Republican votes, the Civil Rights Act would never have passed.

No one has called women back to the kitchen.  Women, like Sarah Palin and millions of others, can freely choose home life, or a professional life, or both; and this has been true in growing measure since Christ liberated women, most especially in America.

Not one of these respectable Americans has insisted homosexuals stay in the closet.  Christians of all political affiliations have been the most loving toward homosexuals, demonstrating that love by providing far and away the most support when the AIDS epidemic struck.  Homosexuals enjoy the greatest freedom and prosperity here in America thanks to the traditions of tolerance and acceptance cultivated by centuries of Judeo-Christian tradition.

And no one from the religious right has ever denied anyone the right to immigrate.  Indeed, Christians have been the most supportive of new citizens.  Christians from the right and the left have shown the most grace in discussions about the vexing problems associated with illegal immigration.

It is beyond disturbing listening to León’s condemning remarks and hate-filled raving, especially in view of the fact he is in this country thanks to the benevolence of Americans and our Christian traditions.

At age 12, León came to America from Cuba as part of the CIA’s Operation Pedro Pan.  The American government and the church helped 14,000 children get out of Cuba before Castro could steal them from their parents to indoctrinate them as communists.   León owes his life to the religious right, for no other force on earth has been as effective in confronting communist thugs and murderers.  Still, showing his gratitude, the only thing León left out of his Easter ‘sermon’ was “G**damn America: it’s in the Bible!”

Ordinarily, Easter Sunday is revered in Christian tradition, honored as our most holy day, the day we celebrate the Resurrection and the day we celebrate the new life graciously given by a loving God willing to die in our place to set us free from sin and death.  The fact that sin is causing millions of homosexual deaths is apparently lost on León and his smiling messiah, Barack Obama.  They promote a lifestyle that is killing people and separating them from God, yet they call it love.

Until last Sunday, Easter was a day presidents attended services at St. John’s to hear about grace, mercy, and righteousness, about the virtue necessary for the sustenance of the Republic, and about the love of God that encourages the rest of us to love.  They gathered to hear about the blessings of liberty and freedom brought by the Spirit as well as the commandments to love and forgive and encourage and reconcile.

They did not gather in the ‘good old days’ to hear a so-called pastor demonize others, engage in satanic condemnation, slander good people with lies, promote ill-will and divisiveness, or witness an ego-tripping abomination in the pulpit.

Easter is about God reconciling all things to Himself.  León works against reconciliation.  He scatters the flock.  What a shepherd!  In the ‘good old days,’ such a man would never have graduated seminary.  In the present day, he is celebrated and honored by a president.

Can GOP Win Without Hispanics? Look At Arizona

arizona map SC Can GOP win without Hispanics? Look at Arizona

PHOENIX — Arizona stands out in the Southwest.

Most of its neighbors are independent-minded states that once leaned Republican but are trending Democratic, partly because of increasing numbers of Hispanic voters alienated from the GOP by its tough stance on illegal immigration.

But not Arizona.

“Rainbow Journalism” Is The New Enemy Of Children

220px Dan Savage Provided 218x300 “Rainbow Journalism” is the New Enemy of Children

Dan Savage writer of sex column perverting young minds

In this column we coin the term “rainbow journalism.”

If you’re young, trendy and hip, and are strolling through downtown Minneapolis, you might grasp a copy of City Pages from the newstand. Its stories, appealing graphics, attractive restaurant ads and reviews of the local night club scene would seem to set you up for an upbeat weekend.

But look a little further, and you’ll uncover a fanatically-driven editorial policy that promotes sleeze and liberal causes. For example, “Savage Love” is a weekly sex advice column by the notorious sex activist Dan Savage. His recent advice includes using online resources to find a worker in the sex industry for a reader’s 22-year old mentally-ill brother. Ugh. The column is filled with trashy advice and crude language.

City Pages is part of a chain of 16 “alternative” free weekly papers around the country with a hefty combined circulation of 1.8 million. You wonder, an alternative to what? It’s an alternative to what is wholesome and true; City Pages promotes strip clubs, homosexuality, and condemns any moral message of Christianity. It scorns patriotism as well. One front-page display contained a mock-up photo of the Statue of Liberty with the words, “One nation under tacos.”

Screamed at readers

Around 1900, yellow journalism screamed at its readers with sensational headlines, weakly-supported facts, with a show of being legitimate by claiming to champion the underdog. Today’s yellow journalism jabs at morality, criticizes Christian organizations, all with name-calling and mockery. The only underdog it champions is the radical homosexual who demands that all of his sexual practices become codified in law, while crushing those with contrary beliefs.

It’s a kind of news adolescence that never grows up. Let’s call it “rainbow journalism.”

More than one hundred years ago, newspapers of integrity separated themselves from yellow journalism, and medical professionals likewise distanced themselves from snake-oil salesmen and abortionists. It was a time for the growing professions of the day to disavow themselves from shady and base practices.

But some news outlets never grow up. Like the crowd that shouted for Christ’s condemnation on Good Friday, City Pages relies on a lot of emotion, few facts, and is quick to slam anyone who stands for morality.

Hate-mongering

It’s no wonder then, that every few weeks New City trots out hate-mongering articles against Christian rock musician and preacher Bradlee Dean and his ministry, You Can Run International, based in Annandale, just outside of Minneapolis. (Disclosure: You Can Run International is a client of our PR firm.) New City has covered Dean’s defamation lawsuit against MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in snarling tones. They accuse his ministry of not only gay-bashing, but now have made dangerous accusations about his family.

I don’t care what your politics are, but going after your enemy’s family is just plain evil. What could be done against the paper if it were not protected by a too-broadly defined First Amendment interpretation today that allows the big media to destroy someone’s reputation?

What enraged City Pages: You Can Run International’s school presentation in Dunkerton Iowa, above, which quoted Elton John and Lady Gaga in their support of homosexuality.

Dean’s presentations in more than three hundred schools around the country warn about bullying, drug use, and yes, the very real dangers of abortion and the homosexual lifestyle. The talks also emphasize the Biblical basis of our country’s Constitution. Having grown up in a broken family himself, Dean knows what it’s like to struggle through the teen years. Now he is driven by a passion for helping youth not make the same mistakes, to turn to wholesomeness and integrity of character. What’s wrong with that?

Building an enemies list

All of this is threatening stuff for City Pages. As a matter of fact, the newspaper has teamed up with its Phoenix look-alike New Times (both are owned by Voice Media Group) to slander Dean’s attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch, a non-profit law firm which attained notoriety through 18 civil lawsuits against the Clinton Administration. New Times, which had never heard of Klayman until he represented Dean in his lawsuit against MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, now puts Klayman in its sights. The paper has in fact dragged Klayman’s family into the battle, making up stories about his failed marriage.

Voice Media Group has thus added Dean and Klaymen to its enemies list, which also include Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the popular elected sheriff of Arizona’s Maricopa County, who has taken an outspoken stance against illegal immigration. Klayman has represented Arpaio, fighting his recall effort.

So the new enemy of youth and children is “rainbow journlism.” And it’s no surprise, since sex to them is something enshrined unto itself, something only for pleasure, practiced to the exclusion of the possibility of children. Maybe the patrons of these papers’ many advertisers should stay away from them like the plague.

For Dean’s syndicated columns, read the Bradlee Dean Blog.

Obama Abusing The Declaration

“We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but the men who pervert the Constitution.” – Abraham Lincoln

In response to being called out on the carpet for his tyrannical methods, Obama stated publicly, “I am not a dictator.”

Whatever Obama says, you can rest assured he is doing the exact opposite, calling “evil good and good evil” and putting “darkness for light, and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).

To add to Obama’s list of abuses, his administration attempted to justify drone strikes on his own people. The American people are now beginning to realize we are no longer speaking of what happens in Third World countries; it is happening in our own backyard.

What is it that defines a dictator?

Parallel the abuses of tyrant King George III in 1776 to what is happening to the American people under Obama’s administration, and you will see the same tyrannical measures stemming from the same tyrannical ideology.

Replacing King George with Obama, the Declaration of Independence states:

The history of the present [president of the United States] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted. …

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Operation Fast and Furious: Obama, as an accessory to criminal activity, including murder, asserted executive privilege where law as well as court precedent clearly shows it unlawful.

Obama has used criminal measures to attack American immigration law and illegally usurped constitutional laws by unashamedly announcing he will issue work permits to illegal aliens.

As the chief law-enforcement agent, Obama has refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act as well as the Voting Rights Act against a domestic terrorist group, the New Black Panthers.

Obama has been held in contempt of court for refusing to lift the Gulf of Mexico oil-drilling ban.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained;

With no constitutional jurisdiction in the area of states laws regarding illegal immigration, Barack Hussein Obama sued states such as Arizona and Alabama for their laws preventing and prosecuting illegal immigration.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

Czars, anyone? He has sent his EPA, IRS, DOJ, and other gangsters to sue private American businesses and citizens, steal private lands, and assault churches as well as private groups that oppose him.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Obama set criminal precedents as he moved the United States military from the congressional chain of command and used them in Libya with no regard to the violation of the War Powers Act. Obama’s secretary of defense has advised Congress that the military will go to war upon the authorization of the U.N., NATO, or other global entity, excluding any mention of congressional approval.

These are just a few examples of Obama’s “King George” abuses on the American people.

Now the question lies at the feet of America: How are we going to respond?

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is the their right, it is their DUTY, to throw off such Government. …

It is time for the Declaration of Independence to be resurrected in the same spirit as our forefathers.

Who is Bradlee Dean?
