"NO PICKLES, PLEASE!" The Diminishing Returns of the Pickle Pimps

by patriotwatchdog 1/18/2012 9:11:00 AM

 

UPDATE: JAN 18, 2012.

THE PICKLE PIMPS ARE STILL AFTER THE INTERNET, but some things have changed since I originally wrote this article back in 2009. For one, the Republicans took over the House of Representatives, and since we all know how much different they are than the Democrat leadership of 2009, the threat of the internet being hijacked by the federal government has subsided, right? After all, with a Republican Majority in the House, they can kill any legislation like SOPA without a single Democrat vote. So, we don't have a thing to worry about, right?

THINK AGAIN! The Pickle Pimps aren't just Dems. If the Republican leadership was actual "leadership," we wouldn't have to worry about the 'indefinite detention' of people like me that call attention to attacks on the Constitutiion and Bill of Rights that almost as many Pickle Pimps in the Grand 'Ole Party voted for the 2012 NDAA without keeping their oaths as did the Jackasses, but we do. You see, it doesn't matter what Pickle Pimp Brand you support, once you crack the lid on the jar, and dip your hand inside, it still comes out slimy, green, and nasty.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... CALL YOUR PICKLE PIMPS IN D.C., AND TELL THEM TO KEEP UNCLE SAM'S HANDS OFF THE INTERNET. TELL THEM LOUD AND CLEAR: NO PICKLES, PLEASE!!

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: PUBLISHED ON A PICKLE-FREE INTERNET: SEPT. 21, 2009

I sit at my desk, pondering this pickle We the People are in, and I don't like pickles. I realize things have to change. The diminishing returns of trying to fix this "pickle we're in" with traditional methods has failed. Let's talk about pickles for a moment. I can deal with a pickle on my burger once in a while, and if they get mine wrong, I don't always make them fix me a new burger. I'll just either eat it, or compromise, and de-pickle my burger myself. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes.

However, if I keep going back to the same fast-food restaurant, and they keep messing my order up, I'll eventually get tired of the poor service, and accept the fact that they either aren't listening to me when I place my order, or they don't care. Maybe it's not just the guy at the window today, cause this happened before, with a different employee working the drive-thru. Maybe it's the management.

I still don't say anything. I'm busy. Gotta run. But then I come back some time later, and it happens again. I had forgotten how poor the service was. "Oh, yeah." I tell myself. "This is that place they always screw up my order. I won't be back here anytime soon," I remind myself again," trying to mask my obvious insanity.

You see, Benjamin Franklin said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome."

I'm sick of pickles that I never order. Even when I tell them specifically, "NO PICKLES!" They get it wrong. So, I then start looking for options to resolve this "pickle" I find myself in... AGAIN!

More time passes. I like the food here, when they get it right. It's why I subconsciously block out the "pickle problem." Well, I'm not gonna give up just yet. I'll dine in next time. That way I can tell them face-to-face exactly what I want. Then they'll get it right. So, off I drive, thinking I've resolved the problem for next time.

Wrong. The same thing happens when I dine in. Pickles on my burger. Argggh! Sigh. I guess I'll vote with my dollar. I'll eat somewhere else, maybe then they'll start listening.  I fill out a customer service survey I found on the table, and drop it in the box on the wall, hoping to redress my grievances against the pickle. Customer service polling explains why sales have been dropping off. Poor service. The manager gives me a coupon for a free meal next time, if I'll just overlook this pickle problem.

They should listen to customers, the true employer. Ask any businessman. When people start courting their competition, they try to figure out why, and fix it, or make it better. But they don't fix the problem. Well. I still like their food. I'll just live with it, thus lowering my expectations. I grow to except that I get pickles when I don't want them, no matter what I do. I keep finding myself in a pickle.

After a while, I quit complaining even to myself about the pickle problem. I also don't eat there as often, but when I do, I've now learned not to expect much. Well, I don't get much either, and certainly not what I want, what I should be able to expect, especially since I'm paying for it. But wait, I AM paying for it. I'll vote with my dollar. I'm done with this restaurant. Drive thru sucks. Dine in sucks. The food sucks too now, because I'm disgusted with the futility of trying to get something as simple as a burger with "NO PICKLES, PLEASE!"

I do go back by at some point, and use my coupon for a free meal to make up for a service-connected disability with my burger. Just because it's free, doesn't make it better. It doesn't make it good. I still get a pickle on my free meal, and what's worse, since they know they aren't gonna make anything off this, they skimp on the lettuce and tomato, and my fries are cold, and the drink is flat. Arrgh! Okay. I give up, but you don't win. I do. I'm voting with my dollar, because I live in a free country, where I can do that. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

Once they miss my dollars enough, and those of the other customers who eventually got fed up, and ate elsewhere, justice will be done. They'll either straighten up, or go out of business. That's the free market. Competition in a capitalistic economy drives inovation, and encourages competitors to produce a better product or service. It goes back and forth over time. Each burger joint trying to keep their customers from going to the competition. Quality goes up all around. Satisfied customers tell their friends. More people eat at your burger joint. Business makes more money, and can pay its employees better. That makes them happy. Customers are happier too. They get burgers with no pickles, if that's what they want. Quality of life goes up. Successful pursuits of happiness achieved. Don't you love the simple logic of that?

Let's recap. I don't like pickles on my burger. If I can't get what I want in a hurry at the drive-thru, and can't get it inside, face-to-face, I vote with my dollar. Bad burger joint closes. Justice is served, and nobody's in a pickle, unless they want to be. I scratch my head. Seems like common sense to me, but I digress.

So, I'm sitting at my desk, going through my emails, and I run across one about the internet, and the plans for a new and improved internet. "Cool," I think to myself as I read further, I'm a techy. It seems the government has a new website to promote a new idea for the internet. It's called http://www.openinternet.gov. Nice looking site. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has a video posted, to "communicate" to me how a "federal commission" is going to make the internet the best thing since sliced bread.

This federal commission in charge of "communications" has this heartwarming message that I am part of something big. It says,

"Welcome to OpenInternet.gov. Together we can preserve a free and open Internet to promote greater innovation, job creation, and a more connected America."

 

Wow! That does sound like the best thing since sliced bread. We're together, free and open. It's gonna promote innovation, and create jobs, and best of all, make us a more connected America. Well gee. Who wouldn't want that? Sign me up. But wait a minute. This sounds too good to be true. I remember being in a pickle before, when I thought I was getting what was advertised; what I was paying for.

I was about to go throught the drive thru. This looks and sounds like what we need, but I've been in a pickle before because I took the drive thru. Maybe I should go inside, and dine in. So I watch the video of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. Hmm...  sounds like the burger joint manager, who can't really explain why I keep getting pickles that I don't want. What the burger joint manager said sounded nice too, but didn't communicate anything that mattered. FCC Chairman Genachowski's video communicates NOTHING of substance. Well, ain't this a pickle.

Where's that customer service card? They had one at the burger joint.  Hey! They want me to join the discussion. So, I click on the button under the ridiculous video, under the heartwarming message. I type in my two-cents worth, and am about to hit send, but it won't. They want to know my email address. Why does the FCC need my email address to post a comment on a "free" and "open" internet. Isn't that like a poll tax, or something?

I remember the cash-for-clunkers fiasco, where you effectively gave the government "ownership of your computer, now and forever, and everything on it." NO PICKLES, PLEASE!  I've seen management at this burger joint in action before. If I give them my suggestion, and its the next best thing since sliced bread, then they can just take the message. Why do they need to identify the messenger?

If they were sincere, it wouldn't matter who the messenger was. They didn't ask me to join a mailing list. They asked for opinions. It won't let me just leave a message. Now, I've seen how this government treats people with views that are contrary to their agenda. Talk radio. Lou Dobbs. Glenn Beck. Fox News, in general. Even the insurance company Humana got a pickle they didn't want on their burger when they warned their customers about Obamacare.

Well, I don't need to post my message on their site. They won't like what I have to say. Besides, I might end up on their hit list for daring to point out the obvious. Keep your hands off the internet. You're obviously not qualified, or motivated to do what's in MY best interest. That's my free speech you're messing with. I don't trust you to control it. You've forgotten who the customer is: WE THE PEOPLE.

Gee, this sounds like my "single-payer," government-run VA Medical Care. You've heard of that right? It's for our veterans who find themselves in a pickle, that need healthcare. And if you're in a pickle, and go to the management, don't expect much. Read my blog entry titled "VA Leaves Combat Veteran Stranded 150 Miles From Home" further down, to get the full effect of what I'm trying to say here.

Our corrupt government doesn't even read the Constitution, their "employee handbook." I'll just post it on the FIRE Coalition Blog, or on my PatriotWatchdog blog at MySpace. I don't need their permission there. I don't have to give them my email address to speak my mind. I'm a free man with a Bill of Rights. I'm the employer, not the employee.

So, I go to log into our blog at http://blog.firecoalition.com, and what do I see? Not our blog. I see a big, scary window, warning me that "this might be an attack site."

Well, ain't this a pickle. Did I mention I don't like pickles? At the FIRE Coalition, we actually do "question with boldness," and we actually do "speak without fear." We hold our elected officials feet to the fire with our 1st Amendment right to free speech. We don't just take the drive thru, we go inside, and meet with our Congressmen, Senators, etc... You know them right? OUR EMPLOYEES? Our humble servants with "honorable" at the beginning of their names?

Over the past two years, since I took on the role of National Director, whenever the FIRE Coalition pressured the government too hard, or told too much of the truth about the "pickle" We the People are in, we get attacked. Like that "Where's Waldo" game, you could almost just assume that I was in D.C., because our sites, and emails would come under attack, crash, get hacked.

I used to use that as a litmus test. Hey, we must be doing something right. We're angering some powerful people if they can get past the well-managed security on our sites, and email accounts. But since I don't advertise where and when I go, it really narrows the list of possible culprits. Now, my philosophy is that there are only two groups of people that we should be talking to about what's wrong with our country: We the People, and the people we elect. Period.

What that means is that I don't waste my time trying to argue the merits of defending Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution with the illegal alien foreign national invaders who comprise the largest invasion in world history. They are not the solution. They don't have a seat at the table, or shouldn't. They don't respect our laws, our sovereignty, our culture, our language. Nothing. So who would know where I am, if I don't advertise ahead of time where I am, except maybe some of those government officials whose feet I hold to the fire.

When I was in the military, I took an oath, just like our Members of Congress do, just like the President. If I betrayed my oath, I would on the carpet in front of my commander. I'd have some explaining to do. I might even go to prison for betraying my oath. If honor, loyalty, and sense of duty to your fellow countrymen wasn't enough to keep your attention to detail, the threat of going to Levenworth might do the trick. Wouldn't that be a pickle?

Well America, our government is being run like a poorly managed burger joint, with employees that can't read their "employee handbook," (the Constitution), that keep trying to shove pickles down our throat, no matter how often, or how loud we tell them, "NO PICKLES, PLEASE!"

Our burger joint employees won't read the complaint box either, (we have no redress of grievances), or listen to the customer satisfaction surveys. Like a large number of the illegal alien employees that don't speak the same language we do, (at OUR burger joint), they don't even read the bills their special interest salesmen write to get us out of the latest pickle. A pickle, I might add, that we wouldn't be subjected to in the first place if management had upheld the "employee handbook."

They just offer us a free burger to appease us. We go away. They can sit back and live fat off the stockholders of the burger joint. Things have gotten so bad, our burger joint is going bankrupt. We need new management. We tried that three years ago, when the House and Senate swapped hands, and got a whole new fresh set of empty promises. We were already in a pickle. The "change" we got was more pickles! Are we insane? No. We are not.

We the People have something most of the rest of the world does not, "a sleeping giant" that hates koolaid, but loves sweet tea. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said, "Never let a crisis go to waste." Yesterday, President Obama declared the H1N1 virus a national emergency. If you listened to the donkey that's behaving like an ass, or the elephant who's lost his memory, you might have noticed the "triggers" that were put into place after 9/11/2001, and even more "triggers" when our poorly managed burger joint staff put the people in New Orleans in a pickle after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast.

These "triggers" were just crisis management devices to solve a problem, but the real intent was to nibble away at our rights, our sovereignty, our Constitution, etc... After all, they gave us heart-warming rhetoric, to make us feel good about giving up a little liberty for a little more security.

Do not be so naive as to believe our President, Congress, and the rest of our burger joint employees at the top haven't read the Constitution, or the wisdoms left by the Founding Fathers. We the People advise each other that the Founders said, "Any people who will give up a little liberty for a little security will get neither. The traitors know that too. They also heard us advise each other about another Founding Father wisdom: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

The President and Mr. "Don't let a crisis go to waste" Emanuel want us afraid of them. They don't like us having liberty or freedom of choice. Foreign and domestic enemies of our Constitution and sovereignty create crises that will steer the sheeple towards the solution that will give them more power, and We the People less.

Eventually, if the foreign and domestic enemies of our Constitution get their way, we'll be too afraid to challenge them. Our apathy and pragmatic compromising have us in a real pickle. Our burger joint is in such a state of despair, with an ever-increasing onslaught of pickles we didn't ask for. They call tax increases an elimination of tax cuts. They call patriots racists. They call their customers potential domestic terrorists to both quiet the messenger, and marginalize the message.

When the formerly "sleeping giant" won't drink the koolaid, well gee, that's another crisis. They try to shut We the People up at every turn. Discredit the messenger, and you discredit the message. Nice try, pickle-pushers.

I have a question for FCC Chairman Genachowski. Who wrote that "non-communicative" koolaid commercial for you? George Orwell? Mr. Chairman, who crafted the imaginary crisis you aluded to, Aldous Huxley?

We the People can't survive on your animal farm, and this ain't 1984 either, no matter how much you may slobber over the concept. It's time for a stockholders meeting at "All-American Burger," to discuss the diminishing returns of the pickle-pushers before we have to shut down our burger joint. Wouldn't that be a pickle?.

By the way, here's what I would have contributed to your OpenInternet.gov site if it was the message you wanted, and not the messenger. 

The government can best preserve a "free and open" internet, whatever that means in government-speak, by keeping their hands off it.

If you really want to improve access and availability, how about holding those providers accountable that We the People gave billions in tax credits to, in order to help them expand their service to rural areas? They also got the benefit of expanding their business. That's how you sold it to We the People over a decade ago. But did you regulate or monitor our money? No. Did you make sure they kept their end of the bargain? No.

Can you explain why We the People should believe you this time? You attach words like "free" and "open" to give people a warm fuzzy while your real goal is to take control of the last bastion of free speech, fill the pockets of the "chosen ones" that will provide this new service, and goose-step that much closer to socialism and the total dissolution of the United States.

People used to vote with their dollar. What do you think they'll vote with when you take all their dollars?

Keep your hands off the internet. I watched the FCC video. FCC... stands for Federal Communication Commission. We the People would think that the Chairman of our FCC could actually "communicate" I'd be embarrassed. And because I believe Chairman Genachowski is a willing usurper, while we ARE at war abroad,

If the FCC can't even "communicate" using "common sense" language, with complete thoughts, and precise wording..., again, I have to ask, We the People should trust you why? We shouldn't. We don't. Mind your own business. Here's how you "play" with words:

Pretentious pickle-pimps pontificating pernicious propositions of peace and prosperity won't proselytize PatriotWatchdogs, Putz!

Does U.S. Supreme Court Have Constitutional Authority to Hear Arizona Case?

by patriotwatchdog 12/13/2011 1:48:00 AM

Pro-immigration enforcement groups across the country are sighing with relief today because the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Arizona's appeal in the suit filed by the Eric Holder Justice Department against Arizona's SB-1070. FIRE Coalition is not among that group.

As Americans, we claim to be a nation of laws, and yet, we regularly ignore the "supreme" law of the land, the U.S. Constitution. How can we ever expect to restore sanity, honesty, and integrity in government from our elected officials when we thank (even brag on) them for violating their oaths of office?

U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 reads:  (emphasis added)

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.

QUESTION: The U.S. Supreme Court has "appellate jurisdiction" over what types of cases?

ANSWER: ALL THE OTHER CASES (that don't have an ambassador, public minister, consuls, or... wait for it... a STATE as a party!)

The statesmen (Framers / Founding Fathers) didn't give the lesser courts authority to hear cases against a State. The statesmen who drafted, adopted, and ratified the U.S. Constitution preserved the front-of-the-line sovereign right to have their cases heard by the highest court "they"created.

It's just that simple.

 QUESTION: Did the statesmen (Framers / Founding Fathers) give the U.S. Supreme Court authority to hear cases against a sovereign State on appeal?

 ANSWER: Of course not. Why would they? They had already established that such cases would be heard in "the first instance" by the Supreme Court.

 The term "original jurisdiction" only appears ONCE in the entire Constitution, and is used in reference to cases against "sovereigns."

This fact was further acknowledged by the "statesmen" (Framers / Founding Fathers) who served in the 1st Congress when they set about to write the Judiciary Act of 1789. In that document, instead of "original jurisdiction" they used the term "exclusive" in reference to cases within the federal judiciary that had a "State" as a party.

According to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall, for the high court to take jurisdiction that was not authorized in the Constitution, or to refuse to exercise jurisdiction required of it by the Constitution would mean only one thing.

The perpetrators of such behavior would be committing "TREASON AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION."

Congress can't give the Supreme Court authority to do anything that the Constitution doesn't authorize, and the Supreme Court can't give such authority to itself. That would be treason according to both the Constitution and Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall.

So...

Is it a happy day that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear the case (on appeal) against Arizona's SB-1070?

Not even remotely. One act of treason doesn't justify another, and using an un-Constitutional statute to try a case against a sovereign State in a court that has no Constitutional authority to hear it is nothing to get happy about.

Some pundits have suggested that Arizona 'chose' to not exercise its "original jurisdiction" rights. Not being a lawyer, I can understand why some lawyers have dificulty understanding that the Constitution trumps ALL laws, including 28 USC 1251, 1331, and 1345.

Those are the statutes used to establish "jurisdiction and venue" in inferior federal courts against sovereign states. They are the type of un-Constitutional law that Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall referred to as "repugnant" to the Constitution.

Pardon me if I don't thank the traitors who are participating in these court cases for betraying their oaths. What's your excuse for tolerating treason?

We notified ALL the parties involved in the un-Constitutional lawsuits against Arizona, and those against ObamaCare in Virginia nearly 1.5 years ago.

See: http://rejoinordie.com/docs/REJOINORDIE.pdf

Ask the citizens of Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, and Utah if they feel their attorney general should be groveling on bended-knee before the U.S. Supreme Court, effectively "begging for an audience" in a court they created.

Until we restore Constitutional governance, these usurpations will only get worse. Eventually, if We the People don't get our heads out of our proverbial butts, the Constitution will just be another grim fairy tale.

Newt Gingrich's "Red Card" Solution is a Red Herring

by patriotwatchdog 11/28/2011 10:41:00 AM

Helen Krieble must think Americans are stupid. Her "Red Card" solution is nothing more than a red herring in that it presumes we've been living in a bubble without Passports, VISA's, guest-worker programs, etc... "Legal" foreign workers already have "smart card" identification documents available to them.

In her "Red Card" talking points brochure, Helen Krieble says "Don't: Use the term 'guest worker." Helen wants us to use the term "temporary." That way, maybe we'll forget we already have numerous "temporary" guest-worker programs for "legal" migrant workers and businesses to utilize.

Helen's approach preys on the gullibility of the American People. Newt Gingrich, FreedomWorks, FOX News, Heritage Foundation, and others think we've forgotten the 1986 amnesty that was supposed to 'solve' our illegal alien problem, that did nothing of the sort. In fact, our illegal alien population has done nothing but skyrocket.

Newt suggests we create a new bureaucracy to "vet" illegal aliens who've been here 25 years, and if they've managed to avoid being caught, that we should let them stay. Hmm... if a foreign national has been in the United States illegally for 25 years, then they were in the U.S. when the 1986 amnesty was passed. An effort to make this particular demographic of illegal alien invaders "legal" has already been tried. So we now need an 'amnesty' for those who didn't take advantage of an 'amnesty' 25 years ago?

What national secuirty benefits will a "Red Card" yield that the current passport and worker VISA government documents do not? Are not foreign nationals working "legally" in the United States already required to carry their government-issued, biometric-laden VISA with them at all times? Of course they are.

This "Red Card" shell game is simply another attempt to grant amnesty to illegal alien invaders. I find it laughable that the Gingrich / Krieble "Red Herring Card" proposal is being touted by FOX News analyst Linda Chavez as a wonderful thing. Ms. Chavez runs Pilgrims Pride, the nation's largest poultry producer, which has been reported numerous times to FIRE Coalition's WeHireAliens.com project for allegedly hiring illegal aliens.

Poultry farm workers 20 years ago were making $18-20 per hour. What's the average now? $10-12 per hour.  How does that non-living-wage help legal workers in a 1st World economy reach the American Dream of home ownership, a better future for their kids, etc...? Who benefits from importing cheap 3rd World labor? People like Mrs. Krieble, who doesn't want to pay a living wage to have her horse stalls mucked and raked. Who else benefits? Well, people like Ms. Chavez and Pilgrim's Pride benefit, as they no longer have to pay a living wage and can boost their profits by creating a perpetual under-class of 3rd World workers, driving down the prevailing wages of Americans and legal immigrants in the process.

How much campaign money has flowed into Newt Gingrich's campaign from "the machine" that collects 30 pieces of silver for kicking the legs out from under the America Dream? Ms. Kriegle pretends to have a solution... and she does, if your goal is to reward illegal behavior, to reward businesses that knowingly hire illegal alien invaders instead of Americans at a living wage, if your goal is to avoid talking about the tens of thousands of Americans who've died at the hands of illegal aliens just since 9/11/2001, if your goal is take illegal immigration and border security off the third-rail of politics heading into yet another presidential election.

There is no check or balance to immigration (legal and illegal) when the only discussion is 'what do we do with the millions that are already here?"

And there is no solution if those 'red herring' proposals are the thruxt of the conversation. Businesses that don't feel they can be competitive because of overhead, (which includes labor), shouldn't be looking at increasing the flood of cheap 3rd World labor to reduce their overhead. They should be looking at the tax burden and oppressive government regulations. If they care about national security or the standard of living of their work force, they should be screaming for enforcement of our existing immigration laws.

40% of illegal aliens in the United States came here "legally" under "temporary" conditions, as "guest workers," or "students." Without enforcement, including employer sanctions and stiff penalties for knowingly hiring illegal aliens, phony solutions like the "Red Herring Card" will only serve to give career bureaucrats like Newt Gingrich a pass for their failed policies, and failed solutions.

"Attrition through enforcement" of our existing immigration and employment laws, full implementation of the U.S. Visit Program, the elimination of job-killing "free trade agreements," and the elimination of the VISA-Waiver Program that allows tens of millions of un-vetted foreign nationals to pour into the United States each year will go a long ways toward solving many national security, job security, and American Dream security issues.

The only mass-deportation that FIRE Coalition supports is the removal of career traitors from public dis-service, and the immediate removal from office of ANYONE that refuses to uphold their oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Article IV, Section 4 guarantees us "protection against invasion," and yet, people like Ms. Krieble, Newt Gingrich, and Linda Chavez think we should just surrender to America becoming just another 3rd World banana republic, ruled by the "whims of men" instead of the rule of law. They do this not out of any sense of loyalty to America, but for personal, political, or financial gain.

For most Americans, gone are the days when "one bread winner" could raise a family in the United States, while the other spouse could oversee the home and raise the kids. The middle class in America is disappearing from the landscape. Excessive legal immigration into the United States (more than the rest of the world combined), and unabated illegal immigration are destroying America's future. The "shining city on the hill" that Reagan talked about is becoming a dingy, balkanized, 3rd World slum, where elitists career politicians, controlled by big business profiteers and special interest groups NEVER tell the truth, and the mainstream media, funded and fueled by these same hucksters, propagate the lie on a daily basis.

Lastly, Gingrich suggests the children born in America of these "temporary" (guest) workers won't get automatic U.S. Citizenship. Really? Does that mean that former Speaker Gingrich is ready to admit that the 14th Amendment, Section 1 prohibits such anchor-baby birthright citizenship already?

Does that mean the former Speaker Gingrich believes Senator Bingham and Senator Howard (who wrote the 14th Amendment, Section 1) may have known what they meant when they required a person to be "subject to the the jurisdiction" of the United States, and not simply "under" the jurisdiction because they were here "temporarity?" Read what the man who "wrote" the citizenship clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment had to say, directly from the floor debate in the U.S. Senate here: http://rejoinordie.com/docs/NoAnchorBabies.pdf 

Slick-tongued devils in think tanks inside the Beltway, and political weasels are hoping you are a bunch of suckers, susceptible to every carnival barker and snake-oil salesman that comes along. And when you see the term "smart" attached to ANYTHING coming from the government and these think tanks, remember this: Smart Power, Smart Cards, Smart Grid, etc... are ALL talking points and catch words for U.N.-based globalists agenda items that are Hell-bent on destroying liberty, private property rights and ownership, and the destruction of the American Dream for America's Posterity.

Go check out the "talking points" at the "Red Herring Card" web site. See for yourself which think tanks and political operatives are playing the "amnesty shell game" and ignoring the "Supreme Law of the Land," the U.S. Constitution.

Thanks, but no thanks, Speaker Gingrich. You are not part of the solution. You are part of the problem.

Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Krieble. Pay your muckrakers a living wage, and you won't need to import 3rd World labor. Your "Red Herring Card" is full of horse hockey.

Thanks, but no thanks, Ms. Chavez. Pilgrims' Pride, which has a repeated history of allegedly hiring illegal aliens at 3rd World labor rates, and driving down the living wage of poultry farm workers,  should be called Pilgrims' Shame. Your approach only further exaserbates the middle class, separates parents from their children by forcing them to work two and three jobs, and encourages more illegal alien invaders to come to America.

And FOX News, if you want to claim to be "fair and balanced," skip the self-agrandizing segments with the Media Research Center's Brent Bozell that attack other media outlets as being biased. You have no room to talk. Did you tell your viewers that Ms. Chavez had a special bias and special interest in promoting the "Red Herring Card" solution? Of course not. 

Did you tell your viewers that only 4% of illegal aliens work in agri-business? Did you even mention the national security implications of a failure to enforce our immigration laws? Have you even once reported on the hundreds and hundreds of illegal aliens who've attempted to gain access to U.S. military, nuclear power facilities, and other sensitive national security installations in just the past five years, as reported in the FIRE Coalition's "Shaw Incident Report?"

Have you once talked about the tens of thousands of American citizens killed over the past 25 years since the 1986 amnesty, or that there's a resolution by Rep. Steve King to recognize Nov. 6, 2011 (the 25th anniversary of the 1986 amnesty) as a "National Day of Remembrance" for the victims of illegal alien crime?

Has FOX once discussed or interviewed Rep. Walter Jones about H.R. 3168, "The Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act," a bill by the way, Congressman Jones has introduced at our request for the past three Congresses?

Did FOX cover the FIRE Coalition press conference held on Capitol Hill on Nov. 3, 2011 at which Reps. King and Jones talked about their respective resolutions and bills, or that victim's families talked about the tragedy that befell their families as a result of failed immigration law enforcement? Visit Operation Body Count to watch the videos of that press conference.

 

You can't say you didn't know. That would be a lie. I personally stuck the press release and background information in the hands of FOX producers on Capitol Hill.

Let's have an honest discussion about immigration, guest-worker programs, border security, etc... Any time you're ready. FIRE Coalition experts aren't in the tank for special interest groups, the U.N., the Chamber of Commerce, and career politicians. We support the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law, and an immigration policy that puts Americans and American Jobs FIRST. 

We need a "New Direction for America," one that hinges on restoring Constitutional governance, attrition of illegal alien invaders through enforcement of our immigration laws, and an end to such ridiculous "red herring card" amnesty proposals that former Speaker Gingrich is trying to sell.

In 2007, Family Security Matters contributing editor Peter Wagner, author of “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration” queried the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with a simple question.

“Why don’t you track illegal alien crime?”
The Justice Department’s answer? “Congress hasn’t told us to.”

Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC-3) introduced the “Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act” (IACRA) in the 110th & 111th Congresses to address this gaping hole in national security. House Immigration Reform Caucus founder Tom Tancredo and now-IRC Caucus Chairman Brian Bilbray both co-sponsored this important legislation. Regrettably, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to give Rep. Jones’ 4-page bill any hearings or a vote.
 
Why Is the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2011 Necessary?

“Open borders and mass illegal immigration were central to Osama bin Laden’s plans to invade the U.S. and commit mass murder. These same open borders and continued mass illegal immigration have set the stage for continued crimes committed by criminal illegal aliens against the American public.”
Who supports this bill?

“I fully support the reintroduction and ultimate passage of the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2011 authored by Congressman Walter Jones,” said State Legislators for Legal Immigration Founder and Pennsylvania State Representative Daryl Metcalfe. “Americans have a right to be protected by their government from illegal alien invaders. This legislation will expose the negligent policies that have placed Americans in harm’s way as illegal aliens have committed crime after crime against our people.”
 
 
“On March 2, 2008, our beloved Son, 17 years young Jamiel Andre' Shaw II, was shot in the stomach and shot in the head, just three doors from our home. Jamiel's mother, Army Sgt., Anita Shaw, was serving in Iraq protecting the United States of America when her son was brutally murdered. The defendant charged with murdering Jamiel is an illegal alien gang member with a criminal history of violence. We believe the Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act by Congressman Walter B. Jones is needed in America and can aide in protecting American Citizens and legal immigrants. We strong support the Illegal Alien Crime Act and hope all elected officials will do the same!”
Sincerely, Jamiel Shaw Sr. and Anita Shaw, Sgt., U.S. Army.
Contact the Shaw Family at:
Email: jamielslaw@live.com Phone: (323) 275.4758

“The first step to be taken in problem solving is to properly and completely identify the problem to be solved. The Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act represents an important tool to aid our law enforcement efforts to combat crime by identifying the magnitude of the problem that the citizens of our nation should have every right to expect will be solved by law enforcement agencies on the local, state and federal level.”
 
 The Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2011 would change this by: (Read proposed bill here)
 
-requiring states to submit in-depth statistics on illegal alien criminal activity in order to receive Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding; and

-requiring all federal agencies to submit data on illegal alien criminal activity; and

-requiring the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to compile this information and produce an annual publication

-similar to its existing Uniform Crime Reporting – that provides detailed statistics on illegal alien criminal activity.” Jones’ letter stated. 
 
What Have Prominent U.S. Senators Said About This Problem?

““First of all, we must protect the lives of future generations of Americans… We only have to examine the alarming increase of illegal individuals populating our Federal prisons to realize that many of those coming across our borders are fleeing lives of crime in their country of origin, obviously… What is most troubling is that this problem is so easily preventable.”     –Senator Harry Reid, June 15, 1994
“The situation has reached an absurdity where government officials could not report from a State or local agency that there was a criminal violation… When things have happened, you pass on information that has to do with criminal intent and activity.”     –Senator Alan K. Simpson, June 15, 1994
“No one, including the INS, knows for sure how many criminal aliens there are in the United States. We do know that criminal aliens now account for an all-time high of 25 percent of the Federal prison population.”    –Senator William V. Roth, Jr., June 15, 1994
 
If you don't think Illegal Alien Foreign National Crime is a National Security Issue?    Keep Reading!
 
Nearly 100,000 Americans have been killed by illegal aliens on American soil since the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.
 
Read the transcript of Rep. Steve King’s explanation of his 2005 GAO Study at FIRE Coalition’s 2007 Constitution Week press conference on Capitol Hill. Read the March, 2011 GAO Study on Criminal Alien Statistics here.
 
“This is the most important bill introduced since the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001 to address criminal activity on American soil by foreign nationals, most of them here illegally” said FIRE Coalition National Director Jeff Lewis. “A 2010 FIRE Coalition investigation into a foiled attempt by illegal aliens using stolen or fraudulent identification to gain access to Shaw Air Force Base, home of the Air Force and (new) Army Central Command Headquarters, revealed an alarming statistic,” warned Mr. Lewis. (Shaw Air Force Base Incident Report)
 
“What we discovered in our investigation is that over the past five years, no fewer than 727 illegal aliens attempted to gain access to U.S. military, nuclear power, and other sensitive national security installations on U.S. soil. FIRE Coalition has been calling for Congressional hearings into how these critical national security breaches are being handled by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” concluded Mr. Lewis.

To put this in perspective, more Americans have been killed on American soil by foreign national insurgents in the past 10 years than we lost in the Vietnam War, Grenada, Bosnia, Somalia, Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 9/11/2001, and every other foreign and domestic terrorist attack in the past 30 years, COMBINED! Congressman Walter Jones believes we must close this gaping hole in our national security. Read the bill, and then encourage your Congressman to co-sponsor H.R. 3168, “The Illegal Alien Crime Reporting Act of 2011.”have been killed by illegal aliens on American soil since the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.

Un-Constitutional Legal Workforce Act Is No Substitute for Immigration Law Enforcement and Secure Borders!

by patriotwatchdog 10/6/2011 2:59:00 AM

Many well-intended organizations and individuals are promoting the passage of H.R. 2885, Rep. Lamar Smith's "Legal Workforce Act." Californians for Populations Stabilization (CAPS), in a October 6, 2011 press release /email blast stated the following:

"While CAPS realizes that this bill is not perfect, we feel it’s the only way California, the state that has the most illegal aliens competing for American jobs, will have a chance to mandate E-Verify given the current make-up of the state legislature. However, we will continue to lobby to limit preemption of states’ enforcement rights."

 With all due respect to Chairman Smith and CAPS, this bill has MANY problems, and while I symathize with the plight of Californians, playing Russian roulette with the Constitutional Rights of the other 49 sovereign States is reckless and short-sighted. Merely "limiting" preemption of States' enforcement rights is still a violation of them.

A State's sovereign right to defend itself against invasion is guaranteed and protected under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3, and the 10th Amendment., if not others as well. How many times have we seen bad or flawed legislation moved forward with a "promise" to fix it later?

Remember when Speaker Pelosi said we needed to "pass" the healthcare bill to find out what was in it? How's that working out for us, America?

For decades we've passed flawed legislation in lieu of enforcing the laws already on the books. Congress "authorizes" an enforcement bill, and then either never "appropriates funds" to enforce it, or strips the funding later, thereby neutering any "real" resolution to a problem the legislation was intended to resolve in the first place.

What does happen is "We the People" give up a little more liberty under the pretense of gaining more security, and end up with NEITHER!

I won't argue that there are many organizations who totally oppose E-Verify, but FIRE Coalition is not one of them. In fact, we have fully supported the voluntary program, while opposing any mandate from the federal government to force E-Verify on the States. FIRE Coalition also has, and will continue to fully support State laws that mandate E-Verify participation.

State-mandated E-Verify participation preserves the sovereign States' right to withdraw from the program by repealing the State law should the feds "change" E-Verify, or morph it into something that doesn't serve its intended purpose. What's California going to do when a future Congress turns E-Verify into the mark-of-the-beast?

Do Californians really want to have to get the federal government's "approval" to get a job? I don't believe CAPS wants that. 

The "Legal Workforce Act," H.R. 2885 also abdicates too much Congressional authority and responsibility to the Executive, further neutering and weakening the checks and balances Congress is granted under the Constitution.

Download the PDF of H.R. 2885, turn to page 8, lines 9-12 and you'll see what I mean. As Michael Cutler, Senior Special Agent, INS (Ret.) stated, "The types of documents acceptable under the "Legal Workforce Act" are a "chinese menu." With many sanctuary States and cities creating illegal alien I.D. cards, and knowingly issuing driver licenses to illegal aliens, the "broken" immigration system opponents of enforcing our immigration laws demagogue as a reason we need "comprehensive immigration reform," the "Legal Workforce Act" will only make things worse.

The portion underlined below is from page 8, lines 9-12, (emphasis added).

...that the individual is a citizen or national of the United States, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or an alien who is authorized under this Act or by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be hired, recruited, or referred for such employment. Such attestation may be manifested by either a hand-written or electronic signature.

I'm sure even CAPS and Chairman Smith have complained about the current administration's "de facto amnesty," as evidenced by President Obama directing DHS Secretary Napolitano to only go after the violent criminal aliens. If Congress passes this bill as is, we won't have to worry about "poison pill amendments." It will be game over for States' Rights and a "lethal injection" for immigration law enforcement.

H.R. 2885 will have codified into law that we are a nation ruled by the whims of the Secretary of Homeland Security, and no amount of whining from Members of Congress will hold any water, because they will have done it to themselves, and worse, to the American people. What happens when Secretary Napolitano decides to "authorize" illegal aliens to work in the United States. H.R. 2885 would give her just that authority.

FIRE Coalition most strongly recommends you READ THE BILL, and then:

  Call the Committees on Education and the Workforce, and Ways and Means, and your Congressman, and JUST SAY NO!

"Feel good" legislation that gives up Congressional authority, (and abdicates responsibility and accountability to the "whims" of the Executive branch), is NOT good leadership, and is NOT in the best interest of protecting our Constitutional Republic.

We the People have GOT TO STOP playing this game, and get serious about securing our borders and ports of entry. There's more wrong with this bill, but as one State legislator confided: "It seems our best hope is that it will die in the Senate."

We shouldn't have to hold our noses, give up individual and States' rights to get Article IV, Section 4 upheld. That's insanity. Protect us against the largest invasion in world history NOW. I encourage House Judiciary Chairman Smith to collaborate with House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Issa to hold hearings on DHS' refusal to enforce our immigration laws.

Secretary of Labor Protects Illegal Alien Workers Instead of Americans

by patriotwatchdog 6/17/2011 7:42:00 PM

With unemployment at 9.2%, you would think that the U.S. Secretary of Labor would be working hard to protect American jobs for Americans. You would be wrong.

Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis believes the following:

  1. Illegal aliens should be paid $7.50 per hour.
  2. Workers from Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatamala are an important part of the American labor force.
  3. They pay taxes and receive few government services.
  4. We need to take steps to level the playing field.
  5. We should sign agreements with the embassies of foreign countries to protect "their" citizens who work in America.
  6. No matter how they came to the United States, these workers have certain rights, including a right to "our" jobs.
  7. The Department of Labor should have a 24/7 "hotline" for illegal aliens to report businesses who don't pay them at least $7.50 per hour.

I wish I were making this up, or simply having a bad dream, but unfortunately, the U.S. Department of Labor's positions that I listed above are gleened from a press release of Secretary of Labor Solis' comments posted on the Department of Labor website. Most are direct quotes from her June 16, 2011 press release.

What Secretary Solis should be doing is protecting American jobs. Someone needs to tell Labor Secretary Solis and the Obama Administration that illegal aliens do not have "rights" to American jobs. She might could claim she's only referring to those migrant workers who are here legally, but she makes it quite clear that she doesn't care if they are in the United States legally or not.

Labor Secretary Solis is guilty of "misprision of a felony," and in my opinion "misprision of treason." Labor Secretary Solis, with the full support and President Obama is "giving support and comfort" to illegal aliens already in the United States, and by protecting their unlawful jobs, encouraging more illegal immigration.

8 USC 1324a Unlawful Employment of Aliens makes it a crime "to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien."

8 USC 1324a Unlawful Employment of Aliens also makes it a crime to knowingly continue employing illegal aliens, "It is unlawful for a person or other entity, after hiring an alien for employment in accordance with paragraph (1), to continue to employ the alien in the United States knowing the alien is (or has become) an unauthorized alien with respect to such employment."

If it's a crime to hire illegal aliens, and its a crime to continue employing an illegal alien once you find out they are illegal, why on God's green Earth is the Labor Secretary signing agreements with foreign countries to protect their "illegal alien workforce?"

It is my belief that once unemployment in the United States rises above a certain level, lets say 5% for the sake of discussion, that the issuance of ALL migrant visas be suspended until such time as the unemployment rate falls below 5%, and that the Labor Secretary should tell the ambassadors of Mexico, Guatamala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua that citizens from their countries caught working in the United States will be on the next plane south.

Legal and lawful migrant workers don't need special protections.  Illegal aliens deserve humanitarian treatment as they are re-patriated to their home countries, AND NOTHING MORE.

The U.S. Labor Secretary should be working night and day to protect American jobs for Americans, not giving support, aid, and comfort to the largest invasion in world history, period! This is outrageous behavior. Ask your Congressman and Senators WHY the Secretary of Labor is protecting illegal alien jobs instead of American jobs.

Congress MUST investigate DHS and it's Ties to the SPLC. Enough is ENOUGH!!

by patriotwatchdog 3/25/2011 9:33:00 PM

  For the past several years, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been in bed with an organization that "hates" patriotic Americans, hates the Constitution, and hates the rule of law. According to the SPLC, the FIRE Coalition is the largest "nativist extremist" group in the country. I won't even begin to list all the lies they have promulgated about our organization in their so-called "Intelligence Reports," but suffice to say, there's not much intelligence there to report with. I could go into greater detail, but a lady in Washington State said it very well Thursday in a letter to the Pottawattamie County Emergency Management Agency (PCEMA) for their outlandish "Operation Closed Campus" exercise. God Bless you Lynn for telling it like it is. When you're done reading Ms. Stuter's letter, read Tom DeWeese's report that he presented on Feb. 17, 2011 in the House Judiciary at a briefing coordinated by the FIRE Coalition and Patriot Coalition for the House Tea Party Caucus and House Immigration Reform Caucus.

I will be personally delivering this message to House & Senate Tea Party Members in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday at the Conservative Principles Conference hosted by Congressman Steve King, (IA-5).

Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 14:36:06 -0700


My letter to the "exercise team", Operation Closed Campus.
 
Lynn Stuter
 

From: Lynn M Stuter
Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 2:30 PM
Subject: Operation Closed Campus; Pottawattamie County, Iowa; March 26, 2011
 
Note:  this e-mail is being sent to all individuals listed as the "exercise team" in Operation Closed Campus; additionally all known interested parties.  This e-mail will be distributed nation-wide with a link to the Operation Closed Campus document.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
If you are not aware, existing United States law requires that individuals, known to be in this  country illegally, be removed back to their country of origin; illegally defined as anyone who is not a citizen of the United States and has entered this country without obtaining the documents required to do so legally.  Such individuals are known, generally, as illegal aliens and will be referred to as such  here.  They are not undocumented immigrants as an immigrant is someone who has obtained the documents required to be in the United States legally and can produce those documents upon request.  Please noteillegal alien does not denote a race, color or creed.
 
Below is a recap of existing United States law regarding individuals who enter this country illegally, ie, illegal aliens, and those who aid and abet their illegal entry and continued residence in the United States:
 
8 USC Sec 1325 ­Illegal entry …shall be subject to civil and criminal penalties, can be fined and imprisoned.

Section 1324a Hiring, Harboring, Transporting any illegal alien …guilty of a felony punishable by 10 yrs jail + $2,000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of property.

Section 1324c Law officers have authority to make arrests …all officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation of any provision of this section.

Section 1644  …no local ordinance, rule or measure shall stop law enforcement officers from enforcement of the section.

Title 19, USC 1459, Section (f) & (g)­illegal entry(f)  Civil penalty of $5,000 for the first violation, and $10,000 for each subsequent violation(g) Criminal penalty liable for a fine of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both.

Either we have rule of law, as established by the United States Constitution, or we have anarchy and chaos.  Would you not agree?
 
In the document you have distributed, noted above, you acknowledge the presence of illegal aliens in the jurisdiction over which you exercise a fiduciary responsibility.  Your obligation, under law, is clear – illegal aliens must be deported.
 
That such is not happening, across the United States, is the subject of growing anger in an America where government policies have resulted in a situation where Americans are losing their jobs, their homes, their ability to provide for their families.  As Americans are not able to get jobs, they are watching employers pay illegal aliens under the table; thus not only hurting Americans but also exploiting the illegal aliens.
 
While the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies acknowledge the presence of approximately 12,000,000 illegal aliens, that figure is actually almost four times that figure, closer to 45,000,000.  These illegal aliens are given access to social programs in existence for the purpose of helping need Americans.  As such, the undue stress of illegal aliens accessing these programs means Americans, who truly need these programs, are denied due to budget constraints.
 
On average, 26 Americans die every day due to crimes committed by illegal aliens.  In four months more Americans die at the hands of illegal aliens than died on September 11, 2001.  Where is the outrage?
 
Every illegal alien who commit a crime on American soil costs the American taxpayer, on average, $1,600,000 per crime. 
 
Your proposed exercise makes a very clear statement that you, individually and collectively, support policies that are anti-American, anti-United States Constitution, and flaunt the law, to say nothing of being proposed out of what appears to be gross ignorance of the realities of the illegal alien invasion of the United States.
 
And who you, individually and collectively, target as the "perpetrator" is anyone who 1) believes in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights; 2) believes in the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms; and 3) believes in the rule of law established by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
 
Such does not speak well of any one of you and certainly brings into question your right, your fitness, to the position you now hold.  And personally, your contention is offensive.
 
The whole of this exercise smacks of the policies of the bigoted, race-baiting, anti-American organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, with which the Department of Homeland Security has a long and certainly incestuous history.
 
Among discerning Americans, it has long been known that SPLC policies are intended, first and foremost, to fill the SPLC coffers.  To that end, the SPLC has engaged in a campaign of fear-mongering and race-baiting.  Nothing fills the coffers like fear!  At the same time, the amount of money, time, and effort the SPLC allots to defending those truly living in poverty is miniscule to non-existent.  To say that the SPLC is a fraud would not be inaccurate.
 
The DHS has, over the past several years, published policies that cement its incestuous relationship with SPLC doctrine, right down to claiming that anyone who voted for Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul or Bob Barr in the last presidential election was some kind of dangerous domestic terrorist; anyone who believes in the United States Constitution to be a white racist with supremacist proclivities; and that anyone who opposes the continued presence in this country of 45,000,000 illegal aliens to be "nativist" defined as anyone who does not agree with the SPLC's open borders stance.  And while the SPLC labels organizations pandering to whites as white supremacist, it has no problem with organizations that pander to perceived minorities.  That, of course, is totally out of sync with the equal rights afforded every American by the Bill of Rights.
 
In the case of illegal aliens, most Americans do not oppose legal immigration; but they do oppose the illegal entry into this country of anyone, no matter the race.  While the view of these Americans comports with the United States Constitution and existing laws, agencies such as DHS and race-baiting organizations like the SPLC are careful that distinction is left out of the equation. 
 
While there has not been one school shooting that incorporates the exercise scenario you propose, there have been many school shootings in which the perpetrators had been or were currently on prescription anti-depressants.  And the shooters took their angst out on those they perceived as the problem including parents who were teachers.  If "real life" is your goal, there is no history that supports your "exercise scenario". 
 
Your exercise scenario does however, serve to further antagonize the growing divide being purposely agitated between whites, blacks and Hispanics; your exercise serves a destructive purpose, not a constructive purpose.  In other words, your exercise scenario falls right in line with SPLC/DHS propaganda.
 
That you purposely dis-invited one participant when a complaint was made, further clarifies your spurious intent.
 
As an American citizen who believes in the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and rule of law, I call on you to change your exercise scenario.
 
Sincerely,
 
Lynn M Stuter
Washington State

Lemming Alert! Has Statute of Limitations Run Out on the Constitution?

by patriotwatchdog 3/15/2011 8:01:00 AM

Below is an article from Fox News dated March 14, 2011. (My comments are offset and in italics.)

White House Urges Supreme Court Not to Jump Into Health Care Law Cases Prematurely

The Obama administration told the Supreme Court on Monday night it should stay away from a high-profile challenge to the 2010 health care law until after a lower court has had a chance to review the case.

Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal wrote, "there is no basis for short-circuiting the normal course of appellate review." Katyal also says Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's case is problematic because he may lack sufficient standing to challenge the health care law.

This is what happens when psuedo-conservatives betray their oath of office and IGNORE the Constitution they swore an oath to support and defend. That goes for Acting Solicitor General Katyal AND Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Since when does a sovereign State "lack" standing to challenge the Constitutionality of a federal law? Ask Virginia's AG why he filed Virginia's suit in district court instead of where the Constitution "mandates" it be filed, and he'll give excuses that rely solely on "case law," and usurpations against the Constitution he prefers to call "precedent."

Ask the Solicitor General to show you in the Constitution where the Supreme Court derives "appelate jurisdiction" over federal cases in which a "State" is a Party. He can't. It's not there. 

What IS in the Constitution is the "mandate" that the Supreme Court hear cases in which a State is Party in the "original" hearing of the case, NOT on appeal. Cuccinelli claiming now that there's some since of urgency that didn't exist nearly a year ago when he filed his suit (in direct violation of his oath) in an inferior federal district court, is merely political gamesmanship. His actions speak much louder than his words.

The Supreme Court normally takes cases only after they've been reviewed at least once by appellate judges. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says that's not appropriate in this instance.

In his filing last month, Cuccinelli said there's a "palpable consensus" that the high court will ultimately have to pass judgment on the merits of President Obama's health care law and should do so without delay. Furthermore, Cuccinelli argues that his case involves "pure issues of constitutional law" that appellate judges on the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals will be unable to definitively resolve.

"Palpable consensus?"  What about the "Constitutional mandate" in Article III, Section 2, Clause 2? The Framers of the Constitution came to the "palpable consensus" that the sovereign States they represented and that eventually became signatories and ratifiers of the "supreme Law of the Land" would have their Constitutional issues heard "exclusively" by the U.S. Supreme Court. For anyone to suggest otherwise is "misprision of treason," and to actually participate in such usurpations of the Constitution, in the words of Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall would be "treason to the Constitution." The problem is, We the People have become so ignorant of our Founding Documents, and so lazy and cowardly, we've allowed States' Rights to erode to such a point, that EVERY State official engaged in challenging a rogue federal government are going to the Supreme Court on bended knee, begging an audience with the King's Court.

Katyal says there is no question that the case is of great public importance but uses the language of the court's own rules to say it is not "one of the rare cases that justifies deviation from normal appellate practice and require[s] immediate determination in this court." Katyal points out that the Virginia case and several others are already in the pipeline and little time may be saved if the court were to jump in now.

Politicians from both parties have also expressed support for immediate high court review. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. took to the Senate floor to champion the cause. Republican governors recently sent a letter to Obama asking him to support Virginia's efforts, writing, "we should not endure years of litigation in the circuit courts, when the Supreme Court can promptly provide finality."

Politicians "expressed support" for immediate high court review?" Where were these politicians when these cases were being filed (in direct conflict with the Constitution) in inferior district courts? Republican and Democrat governors alike should have sent a letter "demanding" this violation of States' Rights be halted, but no. None had the courage to uphold their oath, and We the People suffer for their cowardice.

The Supreme Court denied without comment a similar request for expedited review made last year in another, lower-profile health care challenge from California.

With the government arguing against immediate consideration, most court observers think it is unlikely the justices will grant Cuccinelli's request.

In December, U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson ruled that the health care law's regulation forcing people to buy health insurance or face a penalty is unconstitutional. The government's appeal seeking to vindicate Obama's signature legislative accomplishment is currently pending before the Fourth Circuit. Oral arguments are scheduled for May 10 in Richmond, Va.

For many years the Fourth Circuit held a reputation as one of the most conservative federal appellate courts in the country. But in the past two years, Obama has appointed four of the court's 15 members, thus diminishing that reputation.

If the high court does not immediately take the case, the three Fourth Circuit judges that will hear the appeal will not be known until the morning of the arguments. END STORY...

Where is the 4th Estate... the media? Even Fox News refuses to champion the Constitution. They are part of the problem as well. What about Heritage, Cato, Judicial Watch, Limbaugh, Beck, or any of the other alleged "watchdogs" of the Constitution? Where are they? That's easy to answer, but sad to realize. They are in the camp that case law and precedent trump the Constitution. Have any of them read the U.S. Constitution's Article V? Maybe, but they would rather shrug their shoulders at the Constitution, and continue to collect 30 pieces of silver via ratings-generated dollars. They refuse to ask the tough questions of Cuccinelli, or Bondi, or Brewer. It's the Constitution, stupid! Read, Forrest, Read!!

I didn't dub the open letters we wrote last August to Arizona Governor Brewer, Virginia A.G. Cuccinelli, and SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts the "scarlet letters" simply to be coy. Read them yourself at ReJoinorDie.com and then look at what all of these alleged champions of States' Rights have said over the past several months as they clamored for "face-time" with the media to discuss each and every little utterance from these inferior courts over issues they have ZERO Constitutional authority to rule on. We simply cannot trust even the alleged constitutional scholars to sound the alarm, or ask the tough questions of these political animals. Greta? Laura? Rush? Glenn? Herman? Shame on all of you.

Ask these pundits why they don't believe the Constitution trumps bad precedent? Ask these pundits why they continue to pander to traitors to the Constitution. Ask yourself why YOU keep electing spineless public servants? Tyrants have taken over, and We the People will continue to be enslaved by their treasonous actions until we get educated, and demand better.

To quote my favorite Statesman,

"When you find you have scoundrels and scalawags in office, you need to turn them out, and you need to keep turning them out until you send honorable men to Washington." -N.C. Governor Zebulon Vance. October 21, 1876.

Restoring Constitutional Governance Requires Restoring Original Jurisdiction

by patriotwatchdog 12/31/2010 1:02:00 PM

Article III, Section 2, Clause 2 is THE supreme law of the land as it relates to the judicial relationship that exists between the States (parents) and the child (the federal government). If you've been jumping for joy over the district court decisions regarding the Constitutionality of ObamaCare, you need to think again.

The sovereign states that created the federal government reserved their right to sue and/or be sued ONLY in the highest court in the land. Neither Congress nor the Supreme Court has the authority to subjugate states to an "on bended-knee" status when constitutional issues arise.

We are already in a Constitutional crisis. We the People just have to admit it, and then begin the tasks of restoring Constitutional governance, and ending a long-time usurpation of the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson warned us about the high court becoming tyrannical. As President Reagan might have said, "It's the Constitution, stupid!"

Illegal Immigration is no laughing matter. Where is the outrage?

An Open Letter from the Jamiel Shaw Family to Steven Colbert

September 24, 2010

 

Dear Stephen Colbert,

In preparing this open letter to you, I am literally fighting back the tears!  It truly breaks my heart that so many people in positions of power and authority continue to make light of illegal immigration!    

Are you aware of, and/or concerned with the fact, that American citizens and legal immigrants are murdered everyday by illegal aliens?   Have you ever spent one second thinking about that?    

In speaking to Congress today, do you think you would have prepared anything different if one of your loved ones was murdered by an illegal alien? You think you would make fun of this illegal alien invasion if you lost a loved one to this crime? 

What if your mother was shot in the head by an illegal alien? Do you think you could make that funny?   What about your children? Would it be comical if your daughter or your son or your niece or nephew was lying in the street dead, shot in the head, by someone living in this country illegally? 

Here’s a challenge for you Mr. Colbert.  I challenge you to visit a Memorial Plaque in Los Angeles, California.  The Plaque where my 17 year old nephew, Jamiel Andre’ Shaw II, was murdered on March 2, 2008, by a documented illegal alien gang member. 

Minutes after Jamiel hung up the phone with his father Jamiel Sr., Jamiel was shot in the stomach and then shot in the head, three doors from our home.  Jamiel’s mother, U.S. Army Sergeant Anita Shaw was serving in Iraq when her son was murdered.  Would you like to meet Anita, Mr. Colbert?

I challenge you to visit where Cheryl Green was murdered in Los Angeles.  Cheryl Green was 14 years old when she was shot and left for dead by an illegal alien.  She was riding her bike across an imaginary line that the illegal alien gang members told each other, “the next black person that crosses this line will die”.  Would you like to meet Cheryl’s mother, Charlene Lovett?  I’m sure she could use a good laugh!

Maybe walking the streets of Los Angeles are not a challenge you would accept.  So, how about Arizona, Mr. Colbert?  I challenge you to visit the place where Robert Krentz was murdered by an illegal alien.  Robert Krentz was 58.  He was a well-liked cattle rancher, working on his 34,000 acre ranch, when he and his dog were shot dead by an illegal alien.  

These are just three of the American Citizens who I’m sure were not laughing when they were shot and murdered.  Unfortunately, we have a long list of names of American citizens who were murdered by illegal aliens.   Would you like to see their faces and meet their families?

As a matter of fact, there are tens of thousands of Americans across the United States of America who were murdered and left for dead by people who were never supposed to be in the USA!   Many of these criminals have never been caught!

If you decide to accept this challenge, why not invite about 40 families who lost love ones due to illegal immigration, to come to your studio?  Then, you can tell us all about your experience working on this farm. You can even tell us, “how bad your back was hurting when you were working with illegal aliens”.  I wonder how many families would laugh and think that’s funny.     

To be honest with you, I’m having a very hard time trying to understand why Representative Zoe Lofgren invited you, to speak on this serious issue!  Perhaps she too thinks illegal immigration is a laughing matter!   She seriously needs to be replaced!! 

Call me Mr. Colbert if you accept this challenge, because I know my family would love a good laugh!!

 

Sincerely,

Jamiel Shaw’s Angry Aunt!

Althea Rae Shaw

Los Angeles, CA

Zogby called today, and asked if I'd participate in a survey. There were numerous questions, but eventually they asked me to describe in "one word" how I felt about our government. Well, let's see. I am angry, frustrated, disappointed, hopeful... but I could only chose one word. What one word could possibly sum up how I feel?

I am angry that Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren thinks so little of her oath of office, that she would make a mockery of the United States Congress by turning it into comedy central.

I am frustrated that Colbert would insult the memory of so many Americans killed by illegal aliens, by attempting to make the illegal aliens the victims. 

I am disappointed that Congressman Conyers and the other members of the committee did not walk out.

I am hopeful that my fellow citizens will vote most of the scum on Capitol Hill out of office next month.

After yesterday's testimony by comedian Steven Colbert on Capitol Hill, the one word this veteran would use to describe how I feel about our government: ASHAMED.

That is what I told Zogby. The Shaw Family from Los Angeles isn't laughing either. Are you?
