Justice Dept. Challenges Arizona Over Other Immigration Law Targeting Employers
The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision that upheld Arizona's right to punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants.
The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court decision
that upheld Arizona's right to punish employers for hiring illegal immigrants.
The Arizona law gives the state the right to suspend or terminate business licenses.
"If you hire a person in this country illegally knowingly, you'll lose your license.
First offense, 10 days. Second offense, revocation, never to do business in the state of Arizona again,"said Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who helped draft the new controversial Arizona law that cracks down on illegal immigrants.
The Obama administration apparently worries letting that law stand would leave in place a precedent that states have a legitimate role in enforcing immigration laws a notion the administration fiercely opposes.
"The argument that the Justice Department is making here, is you know, the fundamental question,which is where does state authority begin and end when it comes to federal immigration law?" said Benjamin Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council.
The Arizona statue relies on a law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1986, which made clear federal law preempts the states on immigration – but left one exception: "The provisions of this section preempt any state or local law imposing civil or criminal sanctions (other than through licensing and similar laws) upon those who employ unauthorized aliens."
"Congress said very clearly that licensing and similar laws can be used to impose consequences on employers who hire unauthorized aliens at the state level," said Kris Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. "And that's exactly what Arizona did."
Oddly enough, the law in question was signed in 2007 by then-Gov. Janet Napolitano,
now Obama's Homeland Security secretary.
Not only that, but the law was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
"And bear in mind that 9th Circuit is generally regarded as one of the more liberal circuits in the United States – and so the Obama administration, evidently, believes that the 9th Circuit views on this question is too conservative for this administration," Kobach said.
And this is yet another issue in the ongoing tug of war between Washington and the states, especially Arizona.
"The idea that states can't be involved in immigration law in any way is wrong," Johnson said. "The states have always had a role to play in immigration enforcement.
The tricky part is defining where that authority begins and ends."

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA (KOLD) - For the last three years, a county in Virginia has remained under the radar in the immigration debate even though it has a law almost identical to Arizona's immigration law.
The ordinance in Prince William County was passed in 2007. It initially required police to check the status of detainees they suspected of being undocumented immigrants but one year later it was revised.
Officers now question all criminal suspects about their immigration status once an arrest is made.
In 2008, the University of Virginia conducted a survey to see what effects, if any, the Prince William County law had. It concluded initial fears about racial profiling did not happen.
It also show that schools saw a drop in English as a second language enrollment. There was also a drop in uninsured mothers giving birth and individuals turned over to immigration and customs enforcement.

didn't Rahm Israel Emanuel work at Freddie Mac?
Emanuel was named to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac) by President Bill Clinton in 2000. His position earned him at least $320,000,
including later stock sales.[31][32] He was not assigned to any of the board's working
committees, and the Board met no more than six times per year.[32]
During his time on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign
contributions and accounting irregularities.[32][33] The Obama Administration rejected
a request under the Freedom of Information Act to review Freddie Mac board minutes and
correspondence during Emanuel's time as a director.[32]
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board
of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."
Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress.[34]

Anthony Weiner attacks Goldline, Glenn Beck and other hosts
Rep. Weiner attacks Goldline, Glenn Beck and other hosts
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) Claiming that precious metal peddler Goldline uses conservative broadcast talkers to whip audiences into a frenzy about upcoming financial catastrophe and then sells them gold as a hedge, at inflated prices,
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is calling for investigations by the SEC and the FTC. Although several personalities are named, TV/radio talker Glenn Beck is Weiner’s prime target.
Naming names: According to a report released by Weiner, “Fred Thompson, Dennis Miller, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larson, Michael Smerconish, Monica Crowley and Mike Huckabee are all paid spokespeople for Goldline.” Beck was a spokesperson too, but had to relinquish that role to conform to Fox News policy, but Goldline remains a major advertiser on his FNC program.
According to the report, “On numerous occasions, Glenn Beck has dedicated entire segments of his program to explaining why the U.S. money supply is destined for hyperinflation with Barack Obama as president. He will often promote the purchase of gold as the only safe investment alternative for consumers who want to safeguard their livelihoods. When the show cuts to commercial break, viewers are treated to an advertisement from Goldline.”
Weiner commented, “Goldline rips off consumers, uses misleading and possibly illegal sales tactics, and deliberately manipulates public fears of an impending government takeover – this is a trifecta of terrible business practices. It’s unacceptable that this company is preying on public fears to sell its products.”

because her female partner is rather well known in Harvard circles."

Pennsylvania legislators hope to mirror Arizona's immigration bill
Pennsylvania legislators hope to mirror Arizona's immigration bill
HARRISBURG -- State Reps. Daryl Metcalfe and Harry Readshaw think Pennsylvania
should follow Arizona's lead and "protect its borders and citizens" by giving
local and state police more power to arrest, detain and eventually deport foreigners
who have entered the state illegally and don't have proper registration papers.
Mr. Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, Mr. Readshaw, D-Carrick, and several other legislators
Tuesday promoted House Bill 2479, which would direct a police officer
"to attempt to verify the immigration status of suspected illegal aliens."
However, an officer could not stop a suspected illegal immigrant without reason
-- as critics of the new Arizona law have claimed, Mr.
Metcalfe said. An officer would have to have a reason for checking
a suspected illegal alien's papers, such as if the alien was driving
too fast, ran a red light or was arrested for a break-in.

Obama biggest recipient of BP cash
While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer
for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken
from the oil and gas giant over the years.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Donations come from a mix of employees and the company’s political action committees
— $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
On top of that, the oil giant has spent millions each year on lobbying
including $15.9 million last year alone — as it has tried to influence energy policy.
During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received
a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and
individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.
An Obama spokesman rejected the notion that the president took big oil money.

cleaning up Washington, D.C ?
Legislation builds on Senator’s office policy closing ‘revolving door’ on Capitol Hill
Monday, May 3, 2010
In an effort to continue cleaning up Washington, D.C., Senator Jon Tester is leading an effort to permanently bar former members of Congress from becoming registered lobbyists.
Tester is cosponsoring the Close the Revolving Door Act. In addition to banning former members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, the measure would increase the “cooling off” period to six years before former Congressional staffers could register as lobbyists. Staffers currently must wait one year.
The legislation also prevents a registered lobbyist from being hired by any member of Congress or committee they have lobbied for at least six years.
Tester does not allow himself to be lobbied by former U.S. Senators with whom he has served, or by former staff members who become registered lobbyists.

Arizona deputy shot; illegal immigrants suspected AK47
Arizona deputy shot; illegal immigrants suspected
PHOENIX – A sheriff's deputy was shot and wounded Friday after encountering a group of suspected illegal immigrants who apparently had been hauling bales of marijuana along a major smuggling corridor in the Arizona desert — a violent episode that comes amid a heated national debate over immigration.
State and federal law enforcement agencies deployed helicopters and scores of officers in pursuit of the suspects after the deputy was shot with an AK-47 on Friday afternoon, and the search continued into the night. Deputy Louie Puroll, 53, had a chunk of skin torn from just above his left kidney, but the wound was not serious and he was doing fine.

Obama wants to annex Puerto Rico ?
Glenn Beck: The 51st State?
Audio Available:
April 28, 2010 - 3:00 ET
GLENN: I'm going to put a congressman on the phone with us in just a second, but I want to explain, I want to explain a little bit of something about what you're going to hear. I want you to understand that now in Washington we can't talk about principles and more. We can't talk about anything that is real anymore. All we talk about, when you talk about anything that's happening in Washington, you must frame it in, "This is only about politics and the future power for any given group of people." That's really all it is.
Now, there are those in Washington that are fighting for a reduction of that power, but there are very few of them. Remember also that the progressive party, the progressive party is only about power and control. Progressives, if you understand it the way they do in England and in Europe, progressives are Fabian socialists. They are left and right, Nazi and communist. Here left is used to be big government; right is anarchy. Used to be. Now left and right more and more are big government, both sides. Your only choice, big government. If I said to you that this government is going to do something wait, wait. Let me give you the third principle of progressivism. Big government, left and right doesn't matter. Two is democracy, democratically elected. Democracy is a very important word. We're a republic. That's why they use democracy. Democratically elected, let me give you just a list of a few people who have been democratically elected. Chavez, Castro, Ahmadinejad, Hitler, Mussolini I believe was democratically elected, democratically elected. Usually in a progressive world democratically elected comes with a little twist. There's always something that happens. For instance, Hitler wasn't the Führer. He was the chancellor, democratically elected. And then he cobbled together a coalition that everybody said, oh, no, that will never happen here. And it did, and he became the Führer. Democratically elected always has a little something special to it, in the progressive world. Power. Parties don't matter, principles don't matter. Power and control. Democratically elected.
And the third one? Social justice. Got it? If I told you that our congress, with everything that is going on, they are going to pick up a bill tomorrow and vote on let's see if I I love. I have to get this one exactly right. A Puerto Rican Democracy Act. We have the Puerto Rico democracy act. Who could be against democracy? This is to officially sanction self determination for Puerto Rico. Why do we need to do that in congress, why would we I mean, you can self determine. That's fantastic, great. Why are we doing that? What you're about to hear is going to sound like a conspiracy theory. Tonight on television I'm going to tell you about the evidence now. Tonight on television I will show it to you and your friends. You need to tell everybody. Listen or watch today because you're about to sew another star on the flag of the United States and it will happen, and you have no you'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what?

Democratically elected always has a little something special to it, in the progressive world. Power. Parties don't matter, principles don't matter. Power and control. Democratically elected.
And the third one? Social justice. Got it? If I told you that our congress, with everything that is going on, they are going to pick up a bill tomorrow and vote on let's see if I I love. I have to get this one exactly right. A Puerto Rican Democracy Act. We have the Puerto Rico democracy act. Who could be against democracy? This is to officially sanction self determination for Puerto Rico. Why do we need to do that in congress, why would we I mean, you can self determine. That's fantastic, great. Why are we doing that? What you're about to hear is going to sound like a conspiracy theory. Tonight on television I'm going to tell you about the evidence now. Tonight on television I will show it to you and your friends. You need to tell everybody. Listen or watch today because you're about to sew another star on the flag of the United States and it will happen, and you have no you'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what?

Why Goldman Is Willing to Take the Heat by Glen Beck
Pres Obama and the CCX ?
Glenn Beck breaks the biggest corruption story of the century yesterday and it doesn’t appear on a Front Page anywhere. Beck points the way to the 15 Trillion dollar scam that has some amazing players.
First Glenn makes and astute point: If Goldman is really the bad guy, why are these people still on the job? The Goldman suit is a put up job!
• William C. Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; was a partner and managing director at Goldman
• Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; spent 18 years at Goldman
• Mark Patterson, chief of staff to Tim Geithner; former Goldman lobbyist
• Philip Murphy; nominated for ambassador to Germany; former Goldman executive
• Diana Farrell; deputy director of the National Economic Council; formerly with Goldman
• Emil Michael; White House fellow; former investment banker with Goldman
Glenn tells us that a watchdog has steered him to the collusion between Barrack Obama, George Soros, Al Gore, Goldman Sachs, Franklin Raines (super crooked Fannie Mae head), CCX, and Generation Investment Management (GIM-London based co-founded by AL Gore).
Know the crooks and their roles:
George Soros, Joyce Foundation and connection to CCX.
What is CCX, the Chicago Climate Exchange, projected to gross 10 Trillion a year is Cap-N-Tax passes. Obama played a pivotal role in the formation of the CCX. (Click here for expose)
Barrack Hussein Obama, Board Member of the Joyce Foundation, funded the formation of the CCX. (
Valerie Jarrett is still on the board, Obama’s top adviser.) Obama sat on board and funneled money to Ayer’s brother (wild huh, just a guy in his neighborhood) and to form the CCX.
AL Gore--Goldman Sachs-- GIM: Hold on to your britches, London-based Generation Investment Management sees the Trillion and they purchased a huge stake in Chicago Climate Exchange (fifth largest shareholder.) The founder of GIM is none other than former Vice President Al Gore along with Goldman people. For example other founders are David Blood (former Goldman executive), Mark Ferguson (Goldman) and Peter Harris (Goldman) to name a few. “
Franklin Raines, mega crooked banker and bust Fannie Mae head, uses Fannie Mae (taxpayers money) to buy the technology to measure and manage carbon. The patent was award the day after Obama and Dems won the election.
Goldman Sachs owns ten percent of the CCX and its 10 Trillion a year potential. (CCX is 10% owned by Goldman Sachs (GS) and 10% owned by Generation Investment Management (GIM).) Gore, Goldman, and Cap and Trade - Tangled Web of Corruption

Ariz. immigration debate pressures McCain
Ariz. immigration debate pressures McCain
By JONATHAN J. COOPER and PAUL DAVENPORT,
PHOENIX – Republican Sen. John McCain, who once championed a path to citizenship for the nation's roughly 12 million undocumented immigrants, is now pushing for a crackdown on illegals amid the toughest re-election fight of his career.
McCain's hardline stance on immigration comes in the face of a credible GOP primary challenger, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, and the possibility that the party's 2008 presidential nominee could lose his Senate seat because many conservatives don't consider him one of their own.
Engaged in a fierce contest with the tea party-backed Hayworth, McCain has moved to the right on numerous issues, including gay rights and climate change, and disavowed his long-standing maverick label.
The killing of an Arizona rancher last month stoked conservatives' emphasis on fighting illegal immigration. The state Legislature on Monday sent Republican Gov. Jan Brewer one of the toughest immigration laws in the country; Brewer hasn't said what she will do. The turn of events has moved immigration to the forefront for voters — and Hayworth has used the issue as a cudgel against McCain.
On March 27, rancher Rob Krentz, 58, was found dead on his all-terrain vehicle after making a garbled call about encountering someone apparently needing help. Authorities say they believe Krentz was shot by an illegal border-crosser, possibly someone working for a smuggling cartel, although they haven't made arrests in the case.
Hayworth has assailed McCain's work on a 2005 bill that included providing a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a provision Hayworth calls amnesty. McCain co-sponsored the bill with the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and argued in 2007 when the effort failed that he wouldn't give up because "the American people will not settle for the status quo — de facto amnesty and broken borders."
Facing pressure from conservatives in his own party, he began backing off his support of an immigration overhaul during his presidential primary campaign. Early in 2008, McCain privately told congressional Republicans that he had been hurt politically by his push for immigration reform and had learned that sealing the border should be a top priority.
In his bid for a fifth term, the 73-year-old lawmaker has made clear that he understands the political reality.
McCain was on the air this week to pitch a tough crackdown on illegal immigration, renewing a call to deploy 3,000 National Guard troops to the Arizona border, the busiest stretch for illegal border crossings. He also wants 3,000 additional Customs and Border Protection agents, new fences and increased aerial surveillance.
The plan was released with fellow Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, but it was McCain who went on Fox News Channel to sell it.
The plan was similar to a proposal released a week earlier by Arizona ranchers who went to the state Capitol after Krentz's death.
Hayworth called the senators' plan an "election-year gimmick." McCain's campaign spokesman, Brian Rogers, accused Hayworth of using the rancher's death "to exploit a family's tragedy to score cheap political points."
Hayworth also said McCain's actions are too little, too late.
"Had McCain supported my efforts in 2005 to secure the U.S. border, rather than stubbornly supporting amnesty, we would not be trying to apply quick fixes today," Hayworth said.
McCain argued that he's been working for years on securing the border and says he's worked directly with Mexican President Felipe Calderon on the issue.
"I have a long record of legislative efforts as well as other efforts to try and get the border secured," he said.

Minuteman Work Continues in Southern Arizona
Minuteman Work Continues in Southern Arizona
Carmen Mercer started with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps in 2002 Mercer said local chapters will continue to battle illegal immigration despite the fact that the national group has disbanded.
The president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says that even though her national group has disbanded, local Minuteman groups can continue to operate, and she promises to continue her work in Cochise County to solve the illegal immigration problem. The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps was founded as a neighborhood watch program in 2002 in Tombstone by Carmen Mercer and Chris Simcox, but it disbanded in late March. Numerous issues, including leadership struggles, financial mismanagement and failed political campaigning were cited as possible reasons for the group's dissolution.
Mercer, 54, president of the recently disbanded MCDC, is a German immigrant who went through the process to gain her U.S. citizenship. She has lived in Tombstone for 14 years and owns the O.K. Caf. She said she was unaware of the problems of illegal immigration until witnessing them first-hand.
"I would come home from Sierra Vista after doing my shopping at night and I would see hundreds of people walking along the San Pedro River, thinking they were tourists," she said. "I met Chris Simcox and told him what I had seen, and he said, 'You can't really think those are tourists. Those were illegal aliens that just broke into our country.'"

Where Do YOUR Taxes Go?
Where Do YOUR Taxes Go?
Almost half the nation won't owe income taxes Thursday, thanks to the Bush tax cuts and thousands of dollars in refundable tax credits from President Obama. That's why America's income tax burden looks the way it does. The top one percent of tax payers -- those earning over $390,000 -- pay the same amount in income taxes as the lowest 95 percent of Americans combined. That group comprises anyone making under $150,000, according to the tax foundation.
“Last year, Washington paid out more than $70 billion in refundable tax credits to individuals who either had no income tax liability or just a small one, so that's why people look at April 15 as pay day rather than tax day,” said Scott Hodge, President of the Tax Foundation.
Regardless of how much each American is paying, no one wants his or her money being wasted. Take the C-17, a transport plane Obama tried to cancel last year and is again targeting for termination this year.
In fiscal year 2010, Congress appropriated $2.5 billion to procure 10 C-17 transport planes -- even though the initiative has been opposed by both the Bush and Obama administrations and the Department of Defense decided to cease C-17 production in 2007.
Fox News Calculator: How Much Are YOU Paying for C-17 Production?
Do you want your tax money to pay for 10 C-17 transport planes the Pentagon says it does not want or need, even if it does employ people in 10 states?
We crunched the numbers so you can find out how much it costs you. If you earn $15,000, the planes will cost you a little more than a dollar. If you make between $200,000 $250,000, the planes will cost you about $70.
How about funding for NASA? Obama’s fiscal year 2011 budget would end funding for the Constellation Systems program, initiated by NASA in 2005 to return astronauts to the moon by 2020 and later to Mars. The administration says the program is behind schedule and cannot achieve its goals without budget increases.
Fox News Calculator: How Much Are YOU Paying to NASA?
Now it is your turn to tell Congress which programs you would like to keep funding, and which ones should go.
Even though the nation is technically broke, not everyone votes no.

WASHINGTON – Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use.
Huckabee also told college journalists last week that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt. "Children are not puppies," he said.

Newt Gingrich Takes Advice From Man Who Calls Obama “The Kenyan”
Newt Gingrich Takes Advice From Man Who Calls Obama “The Kenyan”
Former Speaker of the House and potential 2012 Republican candidate Newt Gingrich took questions from a crowd at his “Real Jobs Summit” in New Orleans on Thursday and was put into an uncomfortable position by an audience member who referred to President Barack Obama as “the Kenyan” during a comment after Gingrich’s statements.
Discussing federal expenses, the audience member argued that, even if conservatives managed to lower costs one year, “then year two, when the Kenyan decides we need more money, it’ll be back up to 30, 35%. They can’t be trusted.”

BORDER-LINE DELUSIONAL: JOHN MCCAIN IN HIS OWN WORDS
BORDER-LINE DELUSIONAL: JOHN MCCAIN IN HIS OWN WORDS
Phoenix, AZ (April 10) - He's far from alone in his feelings, but even Senator John McCainfeels like he has failed Arizona and the American people when it comes to securing our border with Mexico.
Senator McCain admitted to the Arizona Daily Star editorial board on April 1st that in losing the presidential election, he lost the battle for protecting Arizonans and the American people starting at the U.S.-Mexican border.
In an interview published today, the Star questioned John McCain on his plan to secure the border. McCain's response was, "If I were President, I would have come forward with a proposal. And people keep coming to me and saying 'what's your proposal?' And I say, 'look, I lost the election.'"
McCain has criticized Congress for failing to secure the border which prompted the Star to ask the senator, "What have you done to secure the border?"
McCain's response? "Not enough."
JD Hayworth, who is mounting a conservative challenge to McCain in the August 24th Republican Primary, feels the same as McCain. John McCain hasn't done enough.
"As a Senator he holds the power to introduce bills, to bring solutions to problems, and to rally support," said Hayworth. "With 28 years in Washington - and most of that time as the darling of mainstream media - I don't think he's powerless to get anything done, I think he's unwilling. He doesn't want to lose that darling status."
"That's the primary difference between John McCain and me," Hayworth continued. "Not only am I ready, willing and able to fight for securing the border, my "Enforcement First Act" that I introduced when I was in the House is out there for everyone to read. Unfortunately, less conservative members of Congress - like Senator McCain - weren't willing to do what it takes to finally stop the flow of people, drugs and crime across our border."

OBAMA IS LEADING US INTO SOCIALISM

In her poem “The New Colossus,” inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, Emma Lazarus wrote: “Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.”
Americans embraced that image of a nation that welcomed those who wanted to work hard and grow and build their lives. But Barack Obama has replaced this call for self-reliance with an offer of security and serenity protected, subsidized, and sheltered by the government. Obama heralds his arrival on the battlefield of our politics not with a cacophony of confrontation, but with a lulling siren song designed to sedate and anesthetize us while he transplants our essence and replaces it with something else entirely. His sirens—the modern equivalent of those voices that tried to lure Ulysses onto the rocks and to his death in Homer’s Odyssey—sing the same soothing lullaby that has long since lulled Europe and Japan into a trance.
THE SIREN SINGS: Put aside your ambition. Don’t work so hard. Slow down and live a little. Don’t worry. Give the government your insecurities. Let us take care of them.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: If we go back to being a nation of childlike dependents, relying on a parental government, we will become poorer and poorer, having to make do with less and less. Government cannot create jobs or wealth. It can only take from some and give it to others. And if people cannot keep their own money, they will stop working, innovating, taking the risks that are key to survival and growth—and we will all have less.
THE SIREN SINGS: You’re not alone in the world. You have your community to surround you and a safety net below you. We have anticipated all the vagaries of life, all of its uncertainties, and have made provision for them.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: It’s the fear of failure, as much as the dream of success, that motivates us all to work hard, compete, and succeed. If life holds no perils, there’s little to get us out of bed in the morning. While we must protect those who cannot help themselves, for most of us it’s the fear of bad outcomes—as much as the lure of reward—that impels our labor.
THE SIREN SINGS: Give up some of your sovereignty and independence. You won’t need it anymore. Your leaders will show you what to do. You must surrender what you have to the community. We are all in this together. We are a unit, an entity. We will share the sacrifice, take care of each other, and let our government point the way.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: Government does almost everything worse than private business. The U.S. Postal Service is a joke compared to FedEx and UPS. The Veterans Administration hospitals are a disgrace to the men and women who have served us. Our government cannot control our borders. It can’t even distribute flu shots to those who need them. Private and church schools educate better, for less money, than public educational institutions do. State universities are drowning in their own bureaucracy. And the list goes on. Only in the military, police, and firefighting services—with their extraordinary standards of martial discipline, self-sacrifice, unit cohesion and morale—does the public sector excel.
THE SIREN SINGS: Abandon the delusions of your religious faith. They are old, for a different time. You don’t need them anymore. Secular humanism has made them unnecessary. Turn away from the spurious rituals and the false security they offer. Embrace the real security of a committed community led by enlightened experts.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: We each have a God-sized hole in our hearts and souls. Without faith, some people turn to addiction; others lose themselves in narcissism. Some become workaholics, others compulsive gamblers, and still others status-seekers who make the acquisition of material goods their own yardstick in life. Where religion falters, self-involvement takes the place of child-rearing, and birth rates drop. Values decline—and an increase in crime, sexually transmitted disease, and suicide are the result.
THE SIREN SINGS: You don’t really need your democracy anymore. Let us experts run things. We know better than you what you need and we have the knowledge to get it for you. Turn away from the cantankerous politics of shrill debate. Trust those who act with benign knowledge of what is best for you.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: The experts covet power, and power corrupts them as easily as it does anyone else. Bureaucracies become obsessed with self-perpetuation and soon lose sight of the populations they are supposed to serve. They develop cozy relationships with the power brokers in big companies to form a consortium of business and government to control our lives. It is only through democracy that we can fight their tyranny.

In her poem “The New Colossus,” inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, Emma Lazarus wrote: “Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore / Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.”
Americans embraced that image of a nation that welcomed those who wanted to work hard and grow and build their lives. But Barack Obama has replaced this call for self-reliance with an offer of security and serenity protected, subsidized, and sheltered by the government. Obama heralds his arrival on the battlefield of our politics not with a cacophony of confrontation, but with a lulling siren song designed to sedate and anesthetize us while he transplants our essence and replaces it with something else entirely. His sirens—the modern equivalent of those voices that tried to lure Ulysses onto the rocks and to his death in Homer’s Odyssey—sing the same soothing lullaby that has long since lulled Europe and Japan into a trance.
THE SIREN SINGS: Put aside your ambition. Don’t work so hard. Slow down and live a little. Don’t worry. Give the government your insecurities. Let us take care of them.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: If we go back to being a nation of childlike dependents, relying on a parental government, we will become poorer and poorer, having to make do with less and less. Government cannot create jobs or wealth. It can only take from some and give it to others. And if people cannot keep their own money, they will stop working, innovating, taking the risks that are key to survival and growth—and we will all have less.
THE SIREN SINGS: You’re not alone in the world. You have your community to surround you and a safety net below you. We have anticipated all the vagaries of life, all of its uncertainties, and have made provision for them.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: It’s the fear of failure, as much as the dream of success, that motivates us all to work hard, compete, and succeed. If life holds no perils, there’s little to get us out of bed in the morning. While we must protect those who cannot help themselves, for most of us it’s the fear of bad outcomes—as much as the lure of reward—that impels our labor.
THE SIREN SINGS: Give up some of your sovereignty and independence. You won’t need it anymore. Your leaders will show you what to do. You must surrender what you have to the community. We are all in this together. We are a unit, an entity. We will share the sacrifice, take care of each other, and let our government point the way.
BUT REALITY ANSWERS: Government does almost everything worse than private business. The U.S. Postal Service is a joke compared to FedEx and UPS. The Veterans Administration hospitals are a disgrace to the men and women who have served us. Our government cannot control our borders. It can’t even distribute flu shots to those who need them. Private and church schools educate better, for less money, than public educational institutions do. State universities are drowning in their own bureaucracy. And the list goes on. Only in the military, police, and firefighting services—with their extraordinary standards of martial discipline, self-sacrifice, unit cohesion and morale—does the public sector excel.

Obama is 'most radical president ever'
Obama is 'most radical president ever'
NEW ORLEANS Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential presidential candidate in
2012, called Barack Obama on Thursday "the most radical president in American history" who
oversees a "secular, socialist machine."
Gingrich reminded conservative activists why he was one of the nation's most polarizing leaders in the 1990s, opening the Southern Republican Leadership Conference with a biting assessment of Obama's policies.
"The most radical president in American history has now thrown down the gauntlet to the American people: 'I run a machine.
I own Washington and there's nothing you can do about it,'" Gingrich said. He urged his fellow Republicans to stop what he called Obama's "secular, socialist machine."

He mocks those that call him a socialist. Just last week, in an interview, lovingly —

Vigilantes expect more to come after Robert Krentz murder
Border Vigilantes expect more to come after rancher Robert Krentz murder
COCHISE COUNTY - After the murder of rancher Robert Krentz, vigilante groups are already patrolling that area of the border. They say they expect more to show up, but some warn that it is a whole different atmosphere now.
"This is a heavily traveled area."
The Cochise County Militia has been known to have nearly 400 members patrolling the border and Dan Frazier expects even more action now, after Krentz's murder.
"If they do come down, I hope they do it the right way, work with law enforcement and not against law enforcement. And the more the merrier. There's enough out here for everybody," said Frazier.
But others like Glenn Spencer with the American Border Patrol say the shooting has changed everything.
"I've thought for years and told people, 'You're alright down here by the border.' They won't hurt the gringo because they know if they start attacking the Americans, our government will be forced to do something," said Spencer.
He lives just a few hundred feet from the border. He says it puts him at an even greater risk to the danger.
"They could be here, kill me and be back in Mexico in five minutes after I'm dead" Spencer said Tuesday.

OBAMA'S PLAN TO CRIPPLE EDUCATION REFORMS
OBAMA'S PLAN TO CRIPPLE EDUCATION REFORMS
To date, the only area in which we have found ourselves in agreement with President Obama was over his announced intention to enforce strict and elevated education standards and move toward paying teachers based on merit.
Now, Obama has retreated from his position of principle and embraced a mealy-mouthed compromise designed to placate school administrators, teachers unions, and their political acolytes at the expense of educational standards.
Over the weekend, Obama announced a series of changes in the No Child Left Behind Law most of which will weaken it and might even cripple the efforts to raise school standards. The Law - and most education terminology - is coded with euphemisms and generalities that must be translated, so let us help to provide a code book.
The NY Times reports that Obama's plan would "use annual tests along with other indicators" to measure achievement in the nation's schools. What are the other indicators? The Times says they include "pupil attendance, graduation rates, and learning climate."
This proposed change will totally undermine the central principle of No Child Left Behind: that schools be judged by objective indices of student performance. By factoring in attendance rates the changes give credit for putting warm bodies in seats. By focusing on graduation rates, they permit schools to push up their ratings by passing out good grades to incompetent students. And by looking at the "learning climate" the changes would inject subjective and vague criteria which would permit failing schools to disguise that fact. While it is not always good to base measurements of performance only on tests of reading and math, these examination scores at least afford independent, objective indications of student ability. By permitting fudging through these new subjective or self-vindicating standards, Obama undermines the whole concept of educational reform.
The Times indicates that Obama wants to find the "5,000 chronically failing schools" while also identifying the 10,000 to 15,000 excellent ones and the 80,000 schools in between. This quota system ignores two abysmal facts: Under No Child Left Behind, one school in three was found to be failing and there has been no appreciable increase in either reading or math scores for the past decade.
By sweeping the problem of bad schools under the rug through a numerical quota (or goal) and subjective criteria for measuring performance, Obama lets the legacy of failing public schools continue while parents are dosed with the soothing syrup of reassurance.
Obama also wants to shift the focus from forcing students to achieve proficiency at each grade level to "measuring each student's academic growth regardless of the performance level at which they started." In other words, Obama wants to allow students who cannot read, write, or do math with appropriate ability to be coddled as long as they are improving. When will we learn that flexible standards that bend to accommodate those who cannot meet them do the disadvantaged no good and plenty of harm?
Two parts of the proposed reforms make sense. He would replaced the emphasis on teachers' academic credentials with a focus on evaluating how their pupils are doing and would intervene in otherwise proficient schools where disadvantaged students are falling far behind the bulk of the pupil population.
But these two saving graces are not enough to redeem a program designed to restore the good old days of flattering self-evaluation in education and reassuring, if phony, good news to feed to parents and the community.
Until now, Obama has stood firm on the subject of education reform, resisting efforts to cripple the Bush standards. Now he has retreated even from this position to the detriment of our children.

The Corrosive Effects of Illegal Immigration
The Corrosive Effects of Illegal Immigration
By Doug Patton March 08, 2010
Most Americans realize that our federal government's deliberate refusal to control the influx of illegal aliens, primarily from Mexico, has had a deleterious effect on our nation's economy. Scores of California hospitals have had to close their doors because of a tsunami of illegals seeking "free" health care -- and receiving it.
Schools across the country are being forced to deal with the children of those here illegally, with many states now fighting over whether to offer these children in-state tuition to attend state colleges and universities.
Two of the largest business associations in the country are at odds over this issue. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which sees cheap, illegal labor as a boon for big business, favors a program that keeps our southern border open. But the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents small business owners, says its members frequently see illegals as competition with legitimate enterprise.
We even see sharp divisions in our politics over this issue, as challengers such as former Arizona Congressman J.D. Hayworth take on former Republican presidential candidate John McCain in that state's primary election this year for the GOP nomination for McCain's Senate seat.
But these are only the most obvious consequences of a misguided policy that has overburdened the most prosperous society on earth, and now the corrosive effects of not enforcing our immigration laws is taking a toll on our body politic at a whole new level.

URGENT: FINAL HEALTH CARE VOTE COMING IN DAYS
URGENT: FINAL HEALTH CARE VOTE COMING IN DAYS
By DICK MORRIS / EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on March 4, 2010
House Republicans are predicting that Pelosi will bring health care to a vote in a few days. This is our LAST CHANCE to stop it.
We need funds desperately and immediately to run ads through the districts of swing Democratic congressmen. As soon as you donate, money will go directly on the air where it will do the most good.
Already, our ads are having an effect and have induced several congressmen who previously voted yes to announce that they are undecided. It is vital that we keep pouring on the pressure.
This is our last chance to stop total destruction of the health care system for our families.

Obama Health Care Plan Silent on Immigration Issues
Obama Health Care Plan Silent on Immigration Issues
Last week, President Obama attempted to kick-start the stalled health care debate by offering his own proposal to reform the U.S. health care system. While the White House states that the proposal “incorporates the work the House and the Senate have done and adds additional ideas from Republican members of Congress,” the president’s plan is more akin to a list of ideas rather than actual legislative text. (Proposal). Importantly, the White House proposal is completely silent with respect to the immigration-related issues FAIR and other groups had raised concerning the House and Senate-passed health care bills.

HIT THE PHONES AND WRITE YOUR CHECKS TO STOP OBAMACARE
HIT THE PHONES AND WRITE YOUR CHECKS TO STOP OBAMACARE
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on February 26, 2010
In the aftermath of his sham health care summit, President Obama has made clear his determination to proceed to try to jam through his radical legislation.
There is no real chance to stop it in the Senate since he will use reconciliation to pass it. But we can beat it in the House! Dozens of Congressmen who voted for the bill last time are re-thinking their support in view of the tidal wave of opposition. And, since the bill passed by only 220-215, there is no Democratic margin for error.
Each of us can act now to protect our healthcare:
1. Go to dickmorris.com and see a list of marginal Democrats who voted for healthcare last time. The list includes their local and Washington office phone numbers. Pick up the phone and call them. Even if you don't live in the district, call them. If you live in the same state, tell them. If not, call them anyway. Call your friends or family that might live in their states or even their districts (the list on our web site says where their district is located) and ask them to call the Congressmen. Keep those lines busy all weekend!
2. Please give the League of American Voters funds immediately to run ads in each of these districts. They have created a very effective ad for each of these marginal members and will run it in their districts if you give us the funding. They have raised $200,000 in the past three days but need more to blanket these swing districts.

Even if you have already given the League money, do it again. Your donations have brought us to the edge of victory on health care and if you give again we can put it to a final end.
Remember what is at stake! If Obama loses this fight, his entire momentum will be crippled. But, if he passes his bill it will:
* Cut $500 billion from Medicare
* Force rationing of health care
* Raise income taxes to 43% (from 35%) and capital gains taxes to 22.5% (from 15%)
* Force a $2,000 increase in the average health insurance premium
* Force young people to buy insurance they don't need or want that would cost over $8500 per person
* Or...pay 2.5% of their income as a fine for not having insurance
* Or...face prison if they don't do either
* Tax medical devices and many medical procedures
And, in addition to all of the above, it will have an horrific impact on the deficit. Don't listen to Obama's claims to deficit neutrality. The bill will cost $1 trillion over six years and will generate revenues of $1 trillion over ten years. But if you run the projections out to fourteen years, the costs exceed the revenues by over $1 trillion.
These projections do not include about $1 trillion in health insurance premiums or fines that the uninsured will have to pay and about $3 trillion in increased health insurance premiums the rest of us will have to pay.
The Cato Institute estimates that the total cost of this bill over a twenty year period will come to $6.5 trillion.
To support the League of American Voters in their efforts to stop Obama -- Go Here Now.

* Force young people to buy insurance they don't need or want that would cost over $8500 per person
* Or...pay 2.5% of their income as a fine for not having insurance
* Or...face prison if they don't do either
* Tax medical devices and many medical procedures
And, in addition to all of the above, it will have an horrific impact on the deficit. Don't listen to Obama's claims to deficit neutrality. The bill will cost $1 trillion over six years and will generate revenues of $1 trillion over ten years. But if you run the projections out to fourteen years, the costs exceed the revenues by over $1 trillion.
These projections do not include about $1 trillion in health insurance premiums or fines that the uninsured will have to pay and about $3 trillion in increased health insurance premiums the rest of us will have to pay.
The Cato Institute estimates that the total cost of this bill over a twenty year period will come to $6.5 trillion.

FINAL PUSH FOR OBAMACARE IS COMING...
FINAL PUSH FOR OBAMACARE IS COMING...
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on February 19, 2010
As the story below indicates, our prediction of a month ago is, unfortunately, coming true: Obama is planning one final push to pass healthcare with no Republican support. Disguising his true intentions behind a health care summit which is designed to fail, he will try to pass the Senate bill in the House and send it to the White House to become law. Then, he will use the reconciliation procedure (which lets him pass budget related bills in the Senate with only 51 votes) to push through additional legislation which modifies the bill to suit House and Senate liberals (probably including a public option).
We need to rally one last time to STOP him!
Obama will probably get the House liberals to go along with passing the Senate bill as long as reconcilation looms in the future. He will also have no trouble getting the 51 votes to pass reconciliation in the Senate.
The only way to stop him is to deny Pelosi the support of conservative Democrats in the House who are scared to death following the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts. When we first figured out what the White House was up to, we prepared ads to run in each of the districts of the swing conservative Democrats who voted for the original health care bill.
As you may remember, health care passed in the House by only 220-115. Thirty-eight Democrats voted no. But about twenty-three conservative Democrats voted in favor of Obamacare. They are all vulnerable to defeat this year. We need to advertise in their districts to persuade them that voting for Obamacare would mean likely political defeat. We need your funds to make these ads possible. We need $1 million for this final push.
Click here to see the ad we propose to run in one such typical district. We have eleven others which we have already produced and are in the can, waiting to go. We will produce and run in more districts as our funding level increases.

PLEASE HELP US WIN THIS FIGHT! Even if you have given before -- even if you have given several times before -- please give again. This is the final round. Remember what Obama says: "we are on the five yard line with health care reform." He is indeed in our red zone with the bill having passed both Houses in different forms already. We need a tough, strong goal line stand to block this disastrous piece of legislation from passing.
Please support the League of American Voters in their efforts to stop Obama -- Go Here Now.

Dems Near Plan To Pass Health Care Bill
White House, Congressional Democrats Are Preparing Proposal Which Could Pass Via Reconciliation in the Senate.
(AP) The White House and congressional leaders are preparing a detailed health care proposal designed to win passage without Republican support if GOP lawmakers fail to embrace bipartisan compromises at President Barack Obama's summit next week.
A senior White House official said Thursday that Democratic negotiators are resolving final differences in House and Senate health bills that passed last year with virtually no Republican help. The White House plans to post the proposals online by Monday morning, three days ahead of the Feb. 25 summit, which GOP leaders are approaching warily.
The comments signal that Obama and Congress' Democratic leaders still plan to use assertive and sometimes controversial parliamentary powers to enact a far-reaching health care bill if no GOP lawmakers get on board. Republicans and conservative activists have denounced such a strategy, and it's unclear whether enough House and Senate Democrats would back it. Both parties have used the strategy, known as reconciliation, in the past.
Obama says he is open to Republican ideas for changing the health care legislation. But many Democrats seriously doubt GOP leaders will support compromises that could draw enough lawmakers from both parties to create a bipartisan majority.
The negotiations, led by Democratic leaders with White House input, are meant to determine what changes must be made to the Senate-passed bill for House Democrats to accept it, the administration official said. The goal is to craft a reconciled measure that Senate Democrats can pass, under rules barring GOP filibusters, unless Republicans offer acceptable changes at next week's summit.
Democrats lost their ability to block filibusters when Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown won a Senate seat last month.
The White House official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday that Obama plans to have a health care proposal that "will take some of the best ideas and put them into a framework" ahead of the Feb. 25 summit.
House Democrats insist on several changes to the bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve. They include reducing or eliminating a proposed tax on generous employer-provider health plans, and eliminating a Medicaid subsidy aimed only at Nebraska.
Overall, the Democratic plans would provide health insurance to more than 30 million people now uninsured and end the industry practice of denying coverage to those with medical problems. Most Americans would be required to carry health coverage, with new government subsidies available to reduce the cost for many.
The main beneficiaries would be small businesses and people who now buy their own insurance. They now have few choices, and premium prices can spike unpredictably from year to year.
Under the Democrats' legislation, they would be able to pick a plan in a new insurance marketplace offering a range of choices similar to those available to federal employees.
The cost of the legislation - about $1 trillion over 10 years - would be paid for through Medicare cuts and a series of tax increases. In the short run, the nation would spend more on health care under the Democratic plans, since newly covered people would be able to get care they had previously put off. Over time, however, the rate of increase in medical costs would begin to slow.

DEMS: THEY'RE DROPPING LIKE FLIES
THEY'RE DROPPING LIKE FLIES
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on February 15, 2010
Enter Coats. Exit Bayh. Bye, bye, Bayh!
The first time Evan Bayh gets a serious race for re-election, he quits!
The Scott Brown victory is still rippling through the House and the Senate causing retirements among committed, dedicated, long-term liberal Democrats. Seeing voter anger, they are heading for the hills.
The process seems to work as follows:
a. Public anger manifests itself in the Brown victory
b. The improvement in Republican chances impels top notch, former statewide elected officials to jump into races against Democratic incumbents
c. The Democrat bows out in the face of likely defeat. Suddenly, he wants to spend more time with his family.
This process has run its course in Indiana and may shortly be manifest in Wisconsin where former Governor Tommy Thompson is considering a run against Senator Russ Feingold. It may yet play out in Arkansas where Senator Blanche Lincoln now has a top tier opponent in Congressman John Boozman. And Senator Patty Murray may hear footsteps behind her with the entry into the race of wealthy businessman Paul Akers and the possible entry of former almost-Governor Dino Rossi. Rossi lost the governorship of Washington State in a Franken-esque theft after initial counts showed him defeating Christine Gregoire by 261 votes. Now Governor Gregoire won in the recount.
In New York State, billionaire Mort Zuckerman may take on appointed Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and, if he doesn't, former Governor George Pataki might jump into the race.
When we predicted a Republican win in the Senate in 2010, some laughed. But nobody's laughing now.
On a less high profile level, the House is also swinging Republican. The death of Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha opens the way for a likely GOP pickup in a special election and the Republicans now stand to pick up ten more seats through Democratic retirements. One wonders if the likes of Texas Democrat Chip Edwards, South Carolina's John Spratt, or Arkansas' Mike Ross might not be far behind in the race into retirement.
It now looks more likely than ever that Congress will go Republican in the elections of 2010.

Boeing can't deliver a $1.1 billion border fence?
Boeing can't deliver a $1.1 billion border fence?
The Department of Homeland Security's latest version of a border "virtual fence" has suffered another setback — prompting Secretary Janet Napolitano to order a departmentwide reassessment of the program.
Officials expected to have a 17-tower system up and working along 23 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border flanking Sasabe by the end of 2009, but the handover to the Border Patrol has been delayed at least three more months. The Sasabe grid is the first in a series of virtual fences planned for the Southwest border.
In the fall of 2009, Napolitano directed the acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to evaluate the SBInet program, according to a statement e-mailed from Napolitano.
"As his analysis uncovered unacceptable delays, last Friday I ordered a departmentwide reassessment of the program to consider options that may more efficiently, effectively and economically meet our border security needs," Napolitano said in the statement. "Americans need border security now — not 10 years down the road. I am committed to ensuring that our border security programs are timely and cost-effective."
From 2006 through July 2009, Customs and Border Protection paid Boeing Co. $1.1 billion to create and build a border-long network of camera, sensor and radar towers, the Government Accountability Office reported in September.

Lou Dobbs mulls White House bid
Lou Dobbs mulls White House bid
Former CNN host Lou Dobbs fueled already rampant speculation about his political future Monday,
sending the clearest signals yet that he's mulling a bid for president and leaving third-party political operatives salivating over the possibility of a celebrity recruit for the 2012 campaign.
Less than two weeks after announcing his departure from the cable network and after a series of interviews in which Dobbs encouraged speculation about his political plans — the anchorman known to fans
as "Mr. Independent" finally made his presidential ambitions explicit on former Sen. Fred Thompson's radio show Monday.
Asked if he might make a run at the White House in 2012,
Dobbs answered flatly: "Yes is the answer."
"I'm going to be talking some more with some folks who want me to
listen in the next few weeks," Dobbs told Thompson.
"Right now I'm fortunate to have a number of wonderful options."

DEFEATING OBAMACARE
DEFEATING OBAMACARE
Dear Friend,
Please do not fall for the liberal propaganda that health care
"reform" is inevitable and will certainly pass! It can be defeated!
The key is to trigger the same backlash among under 30 voters that has already
materialized among the elderly.
We have produced a new 30 second ad that is aimed at the younger voters and need
funds to run it in all the swing states. We will then poll in each of these
states to show the Senators and Congress how strongly their constituents oppose
the Obama bill. We will also be all over the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and
all forms of social Internet media pressing the message.
Our attack focuses on the fact that the uninsured will have to pay a tax of $1,000 each if they won't buy insurance and will have to pay 8-12 percent of their income to get the insurance. We also zero in on taxes on pacemakers and other medical equipment and on how the plan will force up family health insurance premiums by $1700 per family.
It is a great campaign, but we need funds to get it across.
We have raised $2.6 million so far and have used it to great
effect, moving seniors against the bill in huge numbers.
Now we need to put on a comparable campaign aimed at the young.
And we only have a few weeks before the bills will be voted
upon in each house.
Please give us funds now! As much as you can! $1,000 checks are
appreciated and, of course, anything smaller is welcome too.
Click here to watch the new ad and to make a donatation to help run it in
all swing states!
https://www.newsmaxstore.com/contribute/lav/
Your health care and mine is on the line. This is our last and best chance
to stop it from being eviscerated by Obama!

Looks like another Obama fiscal fuckup?
Looks like another Obama fiscal fuckup? this time at Treasury and the FED
and he wants more government?
Watchdog: Treasury and Fed failed in AIG oversight
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is "ultimately responsible" for
regulators' failure to rein in massive bonus payments at American International Group because he led the agencies that provided AIG's lifelines, according to a bailout watchdog.
Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before taking over at Treasury in January. He has said he did not learn until March about the $1.75 billion in bonuses and other compensation promised to AIG employees. But Geithner's subordinates at the New York Fed learned of the payments in November, according
to Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the $700 billion financial bailout.
Even if no one told Geithner about the payments, "this is a failure of communication and a failure of management," Barofsky told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday. Geithner has been "the head of an organization that was involved in the bailout of AIG" since last September, he added.
A Treasury Spokeswoman would not address the comments about Geithner's leadership. She said in a statement that the Obama administration's pay czar continues to develop
compensation plans for AIG and the other companies that received the costliest bailouts.

Health care for illegals if Obama-care passes?
President Obama has denied that health care reform will cover illegal aliens, but some legal experts disagree. The Factor was joined by FNC's Judge Andrew Napolitano, who theorized that illegals will be covered because of the Constitution's "equal protection" clause. "The last time the Supreme Court looked at this," Napolitano said, "is when Texas tried to prevent municipalities from educating the children of illegals. The Supreme Court said the government can't do that because the
Constitution doesn't distinguish between 'legal' and 'illegal' when it comes to education or health care. The court will invalidate any provision that tries to punish people." Constitutional attorney Shannon Goessling agreed with Napolitano's analysis. "You have the President of the United States, a graduate of Harvard Law School, suggesting that he doesn't know the consequences of the public option. President Obama is playing politics and the public should be forewarned."

Tucson Tea Party rally at TEP
They came with signs, T-shirts and petitions expressing skepticism, fear and anger. About 6,000 people descended Saturday on Tucson Electric Park for the Tucson Tea Party event,
billed as "Tucson's Last Stand."
The event kicked off with Tucson Tea Party organizer Trent Humphries expressing his own brand of hope
for the future: "I love the smell of freedom in the morning."
By 8:07 a.m., nearly two hours before the speeches began, the main parking lot of TEP was filling up.
A random survey of one aisle found a car with a bumper sticker for limited-government
advocate Ron Paul,next to another with an "I'm NRA and I vote" sticker, adjacent to one with a fading "W 04" sticker. Folks were serving coffee out of thermoses and handing out muffins and doughnuts.Vendors were selling small American flags and Kettle Korn.

TAX THE SICK: OBAMA’S NEW PLAN
TAX THE SICK: OBAMA’S NEW PLAN
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann
Faced with a need to scrounge for revenue to fund his plan for health care, President Barack Obama and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus have come up with a brilliant new idea: Tax the sick!
In a new amendment to the health care bill, they propose to limit the deductibility of medical expenses on income taxes.
Now, taxpayers may deduct any medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of their Adjusted Gross Income. Obama and Baucus want to raise that threshold to 10% as long as the taxpayer is under 65.
Eight million Americans are sick enough and poor enough that they have to pay more than 7.5% of their income in medical expenses. And it is these folks that the liberals Obama and Baucus plan to tax! Six million of them earn less than $75,000 a year!
For a family earning $75,000 a year and facing out-of-pocket medical bills of $7, 500, this proposal would cost them about $600 a year in extra taxes.
And let’s remember who it is that they are taxing. This proposal affects people whose incomes are so limited and whose medical costs are so high that they exceed 7.5% of their pre-tax income.
Their proposal literally hopes to raise $20 billion over ten years by taxing sick people.
The Democrats defend their proposal by saying that it would discourage health care spending. But nobody deliberately spends 7.5% of their income on medical costs unless they are pretty sick and needy.
Obama and Baucus have singled out the sickest among the middle class for this heinous tax. (The poor will not have to pay it because they are eligible for Medicaid). Originally, the Democrats continued their war on the elderly by proposing to tax everyone who spends more than the 7.5% threshold on medical costs. But they retreated when it became clear that six million elderly would be hit with the tax. Now they just sock it to eight million sic k, middle income Americans.
This tax, and their desire to cut Medicare and Medicaid by $500 billion, makes Obama and Baucus unlike any Democrats I have ever known. Democrats, at least when I worked for Clinton, defended the elderly and the sick rather than cut the former and tax the latter.

$4.7 billion budget for 100 senators and 435 house members?
$4,700,000,000 / 535 = $8,785,046.72 for each
Congress is on the verge of giving itself a bump in its annual budget even as local governments, families and businesses across the country are tightening their belts in the worst recession in decades.
Under a House-Senate conference measure, approved by the House last week and poised for passage in the Senate on Wednesday,
spending for the legislative branch will increase 5.8 percent
this year, boosting Capitol Hill’s annual budget to $4.7 billion.
The measure includes a hodgepodge of new funding for lawmakers: a $500,000 pilot program for senators to send out postcards about their town hall meetings, $30,000 for receptions for foreign dignitaries and $4 million for consultants—
with Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) getting up to nine each and Senate President
Pro Tempore Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) getting up to three more.
There’s $15.8 million for salaries for the Senate Appropriations Committee — plus an extra $950,000 for the committee’s administrative expenses.
Funding for House office buildings will jump a staggering 128 percent, to $84 million. Some of that money will go to replace a roof at the Rayburn House Office Building, and an additional $50 million is being allocated to renovate the Cannon House Office Building.
The Architect of the Capitol will see a 17.8 percent hike to deal with infrastructure repairs, and the Government Printing Office’s revolving fund will increase a whopping 155 percent, to $12.7 million, to deal with technology upgrades and repairs, according to the conference report.
The bill which President Barack Obama could sign as soon as Wednesday, funds operations and staff salaries in the personal offices of the 535 members of Congress,
dozens of legislative committees in the House and Senate, the GPO,
the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, the Government Accountability Office and the Capitol Police.
Supporters of the bill argue that they were relatively frugal this year. Last year, Congress increased its funding 10.9 percent over the fiscal 2008 level and the $4.7 it’s appropriating to itself this year is less than the $5 billion Obama set forth in his budget earlier this year.
The Appropriations Committee disputes that funding increased by 5.8 percent, arguing that the real number is 3.5 percent — or $157 million — because of emergency spending and the $787 billion economic stimulus that added to Congress’s budget. But critics call the move a budget gimmick that does not represent a true apples-to-apples comparison of the amount of money Congress approved in last year’s spending bills versus the fiscal 2010 bills.
