Obama Creates New ‘Public Advocate’ Job for Criminal Illegal Immigrants

Obama giving the finger

Obama once again give America the finger

And gives a giant middle finger to those of us who simply want the Federal government to do their damned jobs in enforcing our existing immigration laws.

Instead we get another  entry in the WTF Department, as Obama has created another tax payer-funded government bureaucratic position: a Public Advocate for Illegal Immigrants. Because if you’re a Democrat the answer is always: more government.

No…seriously. Obama has created a new job whose role is to aid and abet criminals by giving them counsel on how to sue Immigration Enforcement officers and agencies.

The Obama administration on Tuesday announced a new “public advocate” charged with listening to immigrants’ concerns about its law enforcement policies — but Republicans said the position amounts to an official mouthpiece for illegal immigrants being deported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the advocate will “serve as a point of contact for individuals, including those in immigration proceedings, NGOs and other community and advocacy groups, who have concerns, questions, recommendations or other issues they would like to raise.”

The agency — part of the Homeland Security Department — said Andrew Lorenz-Strait will be the first advocate.

What next? Creating a new Public Advocate for child molesters? How about  Public Advocate for Corrupt Politicians? What we really need is a Public Advocate to protect us from Obama.

Hopefully my Representative, Lamar Smith, can put a stop to this nonsense (though I doubt it…):

But Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that meant elevating the concerns of illegal immigrants.

“It’s outrageous that the Obama administration has appointed a taxpayer-funded activist for illegal and criminal immigrants who are detained or ordered deported. The administration all too often acts more like a lobbying firm for illegal immigrants than as an advocate for the American people,” Mr. Smith, Texas Republican, said.

As my friend Michelle Samuelson wrote on Facebook last night, we should all call our Representatives and Senators and remind them that aiding and abetting criminals (which illegal immigrants are) is a felony.

Bryan Preston calls it what it is:

It’s a pander to the open borders segment of the Hispanic community, but it’s also something else. It’s a deliberate finger in the eye of anyone who wants our immigration laws enforced. It’s a deliberate attempt to stir the pot, and generate some heated rhetoric, which the Democrats will then point at to try to convince Hispanic voters that the Republicans are a bunch of racists. It’s a deliberate attempt to make people angry enough to pop off our mouths. That’s what this is.

House Panel Approves Keystone XL Pipeline Bill

 Posted by Robbie Cooper at 2:38 am  1 Response »

Via The Hill:

The House Energy and Commerce Committee on Tuesday approved legislation that would reverse President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.

The bill is the latest GOP-led effort to advance the Alberta-to-Texas pipeline. Republicans are also trying to punish Obama politically ahead of the 2012 election for failing to greenlight the project that GOP lawmakers call a way to create jobs and boost energy security.

What an idiotic spin. Republicans are not trying to punish Obama by getting the Keystone XL pipeline built. What they are trying to do is help create American jobs, reduce our dependence on oil from the Mid-east, and decrease our citizens’ energy costs. That it “punishes” Obama is just a bonus.

Rep. Lee Terry’s (R-Neb.) bill — which passed the powerful committee in a 33-20 vote — is likely heading for the House floor next week as part of wider transportation and energy legislation.

It would instruct the independent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to issue a permit for TransCanada Corp.’s proposed pipeline within 30 days, taking the issue out of the State Department’s hands.

Three Democrats voted with Republicans for the bill: Reps. Jim Matheson (Utah), John Barrow (Ga.) and Mike Ross (Ark.). Rep. Charlie Bass (N.H.) was the lone Republican who opposed it.

Of course, getting this common sense legislation passed in the Democrat-led Senate to override our Dictator in Chief is an uphill battle, this is a good start.

Former Democrat Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper ‘regrets vote for Obamacare’

Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper

"I never should have trusted Nancy Pelosi and Mr. Obama..."

Well, missy, it’s a little late for the hind sight, isn’t it?

Via the Weekly Standard:

Former Democratic congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper, a Catholic from Erie, Pennsylvania, cast a crucial vote in favor of Obamacare in 2010. She lost her seat that November in part because of her controversial support of Obamacare. But Dahlkemper said recently that she would have never voted for the health care bill had she known that the Department of Health and Human Services would require all private insurers, including Catholic charities and hospitals, to provide free coverage of contraception, sterilization procedures, and the “week-after” pill “ella” that can induce early abortions.

“I would have never voted for the final version of the bill if I expected the Obama Administration to force Catholic hospitals and Catholic Colleges and Universities to pay for contraception,” Dahlkemper said in a press release sent out by Democrats for Life in November. “We worked hard to prevent abortion funding in health care and to include clear conscience protections for those with moral objections to abortion and contraceptive devices that cause abortion. I trust that the President will honor the commitment he made to those of us who supported final passage.”

If only there was some way that this useful tool could have known before she voted what was in the bill. I don’t know…maybe something like READ THE FUCKING BILL before you vote on it, you moron.

Instead, you and your idiot Democrat friends fell for Madam Botox’s exhortations that you must “pass the bill to see what’s in the bill…”

Had they actually read the bill (did any of them bother to read it?), it would have quickly dawned on them what a huge crap sandwich it is.

The PJ Tatler adds:

Well, you may have worked hard but you neglected to notice something: That all Obama promises come with an expiration date. That being the case, you can work yourself to the bone and it will do you no good. You had to vote for that bill to find out that oppression of your faith was in it. And to find out that our constitutional freedoms were not.

Ten Things To Do If You’re An “Anybody But Mitt” Republican

 Posted by Robbie Cooper at 11:32 am  13 Responses »

Mittens the inevitable

Mittens the Inevitable

Does this apply to those of us who no longer align ourselves with the Republican party, but simply as Conservatives (the two are no longer the same thing, as evidence of Mitten’s front-runner status) compelled to vote Republican as the lesser-of-two-evils?

Headline and list via Mitch Berg at Hot Air:

  1. Keep things in perspective
  2. Relax
  3. Remember The Positive Influence You Do Have
  4. Go shooting
  5. Remember The Alternative
  6. No, Remember The Real Alternative
  7. Third Parties Are to “Parties” What Near Beer Is To Beer
  8. Be honest
  9. Numbers Count
  10. Checks, Balances

Go to Hot Air to read Mitch’s explanations for each.

While I have no intention of staying home on election day if Mittens is the candidate that the tone-deaf GOP establishment foists upon us —- the down-ticket races are too important, and electing a Tea Party-flavored US Senate majority is within our reach — I have zero intentions of voting for Mittens. And not just because of my long held refusal to vote for President any many who is not a Veteran of our US Military. Even had Mittens served — he didn’t — I wouldn’t vote for him because he’s dishonest and power hungry and not a Conservative.

Conversely, I won’t vote for Ron Paul, either, despite the fact that he did serve (with exceptional honor) in the US military. I won’t vote for Paul because he’s bat shit crazy.

My withheld vote for Mittens the Inevitable won’t matter here in Texas, where whomever the GOP nominee is will wind easily.

Will This ‘Super Bowl’ Ad Sell More Chevy Volts?

 Posted by no2liberals at 11:19 am  3 Responses »
Feb 032012
 

Considering the fact that the average monthly sales in 2011 were 640 Volts and only 603 Volts were sold in January, if the boost in sales in February aren’t significantly higher, then they are just continuing to throw our money away.

Viewers of this ad should also know that all Chevy Volts are not subject to a “factory recall,” but a less serious “call back.”

From my perspective, this bizarre ad doesn’t focus on the Volt, but on the prurient interest of space aliens.

Komen Foundation to Quit Providing Grants to Planned Parenthood

 Posted by Robbie Cooper at 6:54 am  5 Responses »

Komen logoThe big news today (lots of discussion at Memeorandum) that has the Right-o-sphere cheering and the Wrong-o-sphere’s collective panties in a twist is that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — and by “halting it’s partnership” I mean is no longer giving grants (money) to Planned Parenthood’s abortion factory (91% of pregnant women who visit Planned Parenthood have abortions).

Don Surber calls it a win for conservatives. And unborn babies.

The Washington Post gives it a good liberal spin:

Planned Parenthood says the move results from Komen bowing to pressure from anti-abortion activists. Komen says the key reason is that Planned Parenthood is under investigation in Congress — a probe launched by a conservative Republican who was urged to act by anti-abortion groups.

Much more honest reporting on this from Hot Air, who notes that this decision is really based on the criminal investigations into Planned Parenthood:

That’s why this goes beyond the Congressional investigation over abortion funding.  Several states have opened investigations into Planned Parenthood activities after Live Action’s sting operations show clinic workers actively attempting to hide cases which the law required to be reported to the state, in order to protect children from sexual abuse.  Others show nurses instructing patients about how to lie to judges.  Planned Parenthood has become politically toxic, and the Komen Foundation hardly needs that kind of baggage from its grant recipients.

But you know what? I don’t doubt that this decision is in part due to “pressure from anti-abortion activists” and other conservatives. As it turns out, Conservatives give much, much more of their own money to charity (which is what the Komen foundation is) than Democrats do. Conservatives are not in favor of funding Planned Parenthood and their abortion factory/industry. So why would or should Conservatives continue to donate money to Komen only to have it turned around and funneled to Planned Parenthood?

But more than that, I think a bigger part of the decision is because Komen’s primary mission is and always has been about saving the lives of women. And funding abortions is the antithesis of that mission. Worldwide, abortion is female gendercide.

The Left, predictably, is apocalyptic over the latest War on teh Wymens™ :

    • The Daily Kos headline: Susan G. Komen for the Cure caves to anti-choicers, stops funding Planned Parenthood
    • Think Progress (which does neither): Nation’s Largest Cancer Charity Caves To Right Wing Pressure, Ends Relationship With Planned Parenthood sd
    • Charles Johnson: Komen Foundation Caves to Right Wing Pressure, Defunds Planned Parenthood

Man, it’s almost like they had some kind of list for journalists (let’s call it something cutesie like, oh, I don’t know…Journolist) where these Liberals hacks can gather to coordinate their messaging, or something (caved, indeed).

As Pirate Cove notes:

Personally, like Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz, I tend to avoid the abortion debate, mostly because it is not one of my core political interests. That said, watching Liberals go apoplectic, bat guano crazy, and spin like a neutron star is one of more core blogging interests, and this story has sent them over the edge, proving once again that a. they’re nuttier than a peanut farm, and b. they really loves them some abortion!

And notes this genius thinking from the Left: “The always loony Balloon Juice starts out with “Komen for the Cure is abandoning women in need” and then recommends not giving to Komen…an organization which helps women in need.”

Congress Pushes Ahead for Keystone XL Pipeline Construction (despite Dear Leader’s decree)

 Posted by Robbie Cooper at 10:10 am  20 Responses »

Obama Dear Leader

This is my world, and I'll do what I want...or I'll take my ball and go home...

Obama clearly believes that our Federal govenment is an oligarchy, wherein he and he alone makes decisions, rules, and laws that the rest of us must follow. He clearly believes he can simply do whatever he wishes with or without the approval of Congress, and that they are powerless to reign in his Unconstitutional userping of power.

He seems to forget that our Constitution provides for three branches of power, with each empowered to provide checks and balances on the other branches.

So, when Obama unilaterally said, “Fuck American jobs, fuck decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, and fuck lower energy costs,” when he announced that he was killing the Keystone Pipeline XL project…Congress has decided to show some bipartisan balls and responded with, “Hold on just a second there Professor…not so fast…”

Congress is planning on moving ahead despite our Dear Leader’s objections:

The administration’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline isn’t holding back Congress. Efforts in the Senate and House of Representatives are moving ahead to allow construction of the energy infrastructure project.

And today a group of companies that will help build the Keystone XL pipeline talked about the jobs that will be created–13,000 from construction of the pipeline. This adds to the leaders who have spoken out in favor of the project.

On top of the construction jobs, TransCanada says 7,000 manufacturing jobs will be created from the materials needed to build the pipeline. That’s 20,000 jobs total from a project that would improve America’s energy security.

What is forgotten in the debate over Keystone XL is building a pipeline like this isn’t new. It would join the thousands of miles pipe that already crisscross the country. As Rob Port at Say Anything writes, “We already have pipelines like the Keystone XL in the United States. This would be an expansion of existing infrastructure.”

Good for them. Make that son-of-a-bitch veto the entire jobs bill just months before an election where the bad-economy-he-inherited-but-tripped-all-over-himself-to-make-much-much-worse will be the key issue in voters’ minds.

An Absolute Must Read From Jeffrey Lord

 Posted by no2liberals at 9:03 am  18 Responses »
Jan 312012
 

This lengthy article is just too good to put in the quick links section in the right side column. Believe me, this excellent piece will be mentioned on every major conservative talk show today.

From Jeffrey Lord at The American Spectator, Newt Battles Mush From the Wimps.

If Newt Gingrich disappeared from the planet today and in his place stood only Rick Santorum — or Sarah Palin herself or some other conservative — you can be certain the Establishment GOP would have their sights trained on that conservative, running some version of precisely the same multi-gazillion dollar campaign they are running against Newt Gingrich right now. As a matter of fact, they did exactly this to Governor Palin from the very moment she stepped on the national stage in 2008. If by chance Rick Santorum emerges as the sole conservative left in this race — look out Rick.

Why is this?

The hard fact of the political matter, to give the short version, is that with the advent of the American progressive movement at the beginning of the 20th century, there were many in the Republican Party who in their own fashion went over the side, abandoning the good ship of conservative principles. It’s not that they necessarily left the GOP — although some, most prominently Theodore Roosevelt — did so. No, what happened is that they simply folded like a cheap suit, caving to what they were certain would be the eternal popularity of the progressive movement. Becoming what was eventually known as the “me-too” Republican. Or, in the tart summation of Barry Goldwater, supporters of “the dime store New Deal.” Today, the name is RINO — Republican in Name Only.

Lt. Col. Allen West to Democrat Leaders: Get your Communist Asses Out of America

 Posted by Robbie Cooper at 8:57 pm  12 Responses »
Jan 292012
 

Rep. Allen West is one of only two men in all of Congress (along with fellow Floridian Sen. Marco Rubio), that I would re-elect. The rest of ‘em? I’d throw every last one of ‘em out on their asses.

We need a whole lot more men (or women) like Lt. Col. Allen West to replace them. Because of wonderful moments like this, where he calls Obama/Pelosi/Reid/and DWS a bunch of Communists (they are) who should “get the hell out of the United States of America” (they should):

“We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, (audience boos) and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain’t on the table,” West said. “Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

Of course, compared to what Liberals say about Conservatives, this is pretty tame stuff.

Men like Lt. Col. West scare Liberals, because he’s a real man, a real patriot, and a real American hero. There’s not a single piece of shit on the Democrat side who is even half the man that West is.

Moments after the quote was mentioned on Twitter, former Reid spokesman Jim Manley responded via his own Twitter feed: “Me to allen west. You first asshole.”

Of course, Jim Manley is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. Men like Lt. Col. West.

Which is why it’s not surprising that the GOP establishment, led by the Mitt Romney camp, are trying to get rid of West by eliminating his district in their proposed redistricting maps. Cowards, the entire lot of ‘em.

Matt And Mitt…Sittin’ In A Tree…

Drudge Report Archives on Newt Gingrich.

Drudge Report Archives on Mitt Romney.

Not to be overlooked in this affectionate relationship is another Matt, Matt Rhoades. While I’m not a fan of Politico(or Drudge), I found this article from last June informative.

Mitt Romney leads the Drudge primary:

Frustrated rivals think they know the secret: a low-profile, hard-driving Republican operative named Matt Rhoades, who is Romney’s campaign manager. Rhoades met Drudge, as POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris and co-author Mark Halperin reported in their book “The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008,” when he became research director of the Republican National Committee and was introduced by his predecessor on a special trip to Miami. Rhoades has since been seen as a pipeline to the reclusive Drudge, who now has two veteran Washington reporters working on the site as well.

“No one has displaced Matt Rhoades in the Republican firmament as the go-to Drudge guy,” said a top GOP operative who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid angering the powerful online entrepreneur.

This is no academic question for the likes of Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann — all elbowing for the cascading attention Drudge can bring.

“It’s no secret that Matt Drudge has a high-level friend inside the Romney camp, but his favoritism puts him noticeably out of step with other conservative media,” said an aide to one of Romney’s Republican rivals. “Sometimes it’s bias by exclusion, like when conservatives universally slam Romney for his RomneyCare speech and Drudge gives him a pass.

“He’s been tough on all of Romney’s rivals,” grumbled another candidate’s aide.

I did notice Drudge added Rush Limbaugh’s transcript questioning the volume of attacks emanating from Drudge and others in a short time frame a few days ago. However, Drudge promoting an edited transcript by National Review that made it sound as though Newt was critical of Reagan was disingenuous. If the full transcript had been posted Newt’s comments would have been put in context.

The proper context for Drudge’s ridiculous assault on Newt’s view of Reagan(while ignoring Romney’s disdain for Reagan) is illustrated clearly at this post from Legal Insurrection, which is an excellent piece with additional links and a video of Nancy Reagan honoring Newt: Nancy Reagan 1995: Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt.

There is something truly obscene about the full blown assault on Newt Gingrich’s strong Reagan conservative history from and on behalf of Mitt Romney, who unabashedly ran away from the Reagan legacy and conservative principles in his 1994 Senate campaign and 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Truly obscene.

The latest iteration comes from Elliott Abrams writing in National Review, quoting pieces of a single speech Newt apparently gave on the floor of the House on March 21, 1986, in which Newt criticized certain foreign policy decisions of the Reagan administration. Abrams does not link to the full speech or to other speeches of Newt at the time.

Instead much of the anti-Newt conservative media — including a screaming Drudge banner — accuses Newt of “insulting” Reagan. It is part of a smear campaign which started when Newt surged in Iowa and National Review unloaded with it’s infamous “Marvin the Maritan” issue, and now it has resurfaced once again now that Romney is in electoral trouble.

Many conservatives and conservative forums have removed Drudge from their bookmarks, that is those who hadn’t done so years ago, like me. He still has his place as a news aggregator, though many are much better. It’s just a shame to see this type of bias in what has been a conservative haven for news for many years.

George Soros Says “No Difference Between Obama And Romney”

 Posted by no2liberals at 9:53 pm  7 Responses »
Jan 272012
 

In an interview at Davos, Switzerland, where the 2012 Summit is under way, George Soros(a.k.a. Schwartz György/Obama’s Puppet Master/Spooky Dude) stated what I have been saying all along. György revealed to an odd interviewer, that has some bizarre facial expressions and gestures, that there was “no difference between Obama and Romney” and also that he was one of Lenin’s “useful idiots.”

György is a former Nazi collaborator, convicted of insider trading, the man who broke the Bank Of England in 1992, funds numerous radical leftist organizations and major contributor to the recent Occupy movement.

If some were alarmed by the “she said–he said” open marriage allegation against Newt Gingrich, they should be even more alarmed by Spooky Dude’s Open Society.

Knowing how destructive and devious Spooky Dude is, I can’t rule out this is an attempt to harm Romney, but considering his soul mates on the left very much want Romney to be the GOP nominee, I doubt it.

Speaking of Spooky Dude, a moniker bestowed on this evil man by Glenn Beck, there is an interesting report that claims Spooky Dude sent his demons to intimidate Fox News and Glenn Beck’s staff into not reporting on his activities.

Private Investigator says Beck Staff Threatened by Soros Operatives:

As such, the episode smacks of capitulation to unlawful threats. If the threats were to continue under these circumstances, it should have been a matter for the public to know about, in order for the public to be made aware of the forces around George Soros acting on his behalf to intimidate the news media. This is an issue of major public importance. It is time for the facts to be made known.”

So congratulations to the Mushy Massachusetts Moderate for the backhanded endorsement from the most evil man in the world. Mitten’s sleazy Super Pac activities and his smear campaign have garnered him a new endorsement and he didn’t even need to pay this one off to do so.

*PS* A preview of a Obama-Romney debate.

Obama’s Eligibility Hearing In Georgia Is Livestreamed

 Posted by no2liberals at 11:09 am  8 Responses »
Jan 262012
 

For background info on this historic event and the livestream link, click here. The administrative hearing began at 8a.m. CST.

What is really interesting in this hearing is that neither Obama or his attorney will attend. Also, the findings of the hearing will be presented to the Georgia Secretary of State, who is the highest election authority of the state.

Yesterday, the Georgia SoS was informed neither Obama or his counsel would attend and he replied to counsel with the following letter:

Should the SoS rule Obama is ineligible to appear on the Georgia ballot it should be noted that Georgia represents 15 electoral college votes. However, there is some question that if one state doesn’t allow him on their ballot other states will not either, but haven’t had time to research to discover what is true. What we do know is this is being heard today and there are several other states with eligibility challenges pending.
