Obama team plays race card in Arizona

Grassfire Nation Update Obama v. Arizona
The Obama team just played the race card in your home stateof Arizona. Attorney General Holder is not only refusing to back downon the Obama lawsuit against Arizonas new immigrationlaw (S.B. 1070), he is now threatening a second lawsuit. Holder said that in six months or a year the federalgovernment could come back and file a lawsuit againstArizona to determine "whether or not there has been thatracial profiling impact."
Holder was signaling that the Obama team is ready to unleashthe full force of the federal government against Arizona. These are not idle threats. We should not be surprised ifany race-based lawsuit from the Obama team includes so-called"hate crimes" allegations. The intent is clear: demonize -and possible criminalize anyone who opposes the Obama amnesty agenda.
Take A Stand For Your States Immigration Law This latest race-based attack on patriotic Americans means we must do even more to stand against the Obama-Lefts agenda.
Grassfire Nation and ResistNet are planning on presenting 250,000 petitions at a National Immigration Policy Summit that begins July 30 in Phoenix. This also coincides with the first court ruling on the Obama teams lawsuit against Arizona.

Mike Cox says states are authorized to enforce immigration laws and protect their borders.

The Arizona law directs officers to question people about their immigration status during the enforcement of other laws and if there's a reasonable suspicion they're in the U.S. illegally.
President Barack Obama's administration recently filed suit to block it, saying immigration is a federal issue.

Nebraska Town Approves Ban on Hiring or Renting to Illegal Immigrants
Nebraska Town Approves Ban on Hiring or Renting to Illegal Immigrants
Residents of Fremont, Nebraska, on Monday voted in favor of a measure that makes it illegal to harbor, hire, or rent property to an illegal immigrant.
The Associated Press reported moments ago:
The special election in Fremont on Monday was the latest proposal in a series of immigration regulations taken up by communities around the country. About 57 percent of voters supported the measure, which is expected to be challenged in court.
Supporters say the measure is needed to make up for what they see as lax federal law enforcement. Opponents fear it could fuel discrimination.
According to local paper the Fremont Tribune, turnout was high:

US national debt is like a cancer ?
US national debt is like a cancer ?
The debt is like a cancer,
Democrat Erskine Bowles told the governors. "It is going to destroy the country from within."
Ahead of the Bell: Budget deficit (AP)
WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit likely will top $1 trillion through the first nine months of this budget year, a slightly improvement from last year's record pace.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are forecasting that the June deficit will total $69.5 billion, which would push the deficit so far this budget year above $1 trillion. The Treasury Department will release the June deficit at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
The June imbalance would compare to a deficit of $94.3 billion in June 2009. The Congress Budget Office is forecasting that government receipts will be up by about $36 billion this June, compared to June 2009, reflecting in part higher collections of corporate income taxes as company profits rise with a rebounding economy.
The CBO is forecasting that the government spending rose by $11 billion this June compared to a year ago. The CBO estimate reflects an expected $19 billion drop in spending to support the financial system this June compared to a year ago but a $30 billion rise in spending on other government programs.
Many private economists are forecasting that the deficit for this year will come in around $1.3 trillion, which would be the second-highest deficit on record. But it would be down slightly from last year's all-time high of $1.4 trillion.
The Obama administration is forecasting that the deficit for the 2011 budget year, which begins Oct. 1, will remain above $1 trillion at $1.27 trillion. And the administration predicts the imbalances over the next decade will total $8.5 trillion.
The deficits have been driven higher by the lingering effects of the worst recession since the 1930s. About one-third of the higher deficits in this period are a result of a drop in government tax revenues.
The other two-thirds of the deficit increases reflect higher government spending to stabilize the financial system, stimulate the economy and cope with the impact of the downturn through increased spending for such programs as unemployment benefits and food stamps.
The tide of red ink has sparked a political backlash with surveys showing rising unhappiness among voters with the ballooning deficits.
Obama has appointed a national debt commission to report after the November midterm elections on ways that the federal deficits can be brought under control.
The heads of the panel told the National Governors Association on Sunday that everything needs to be considered including curtailing popular tax breaks, such as the home mortgage deduction.
"The debt is like a cancer," Democrat Erskine Bowles told the governors. "It is going to destroy the country from within."

Gergen at CNN picked up this story........Now the pig is dead
How did we get here, asked former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, the other co-chairman. For the past 60 years, politicians in Congress have been trained to bring home the bacon. "Now the pig is dead," he said. "There is no more bacon to bring home."
Clearly, we have some very tough choices ahead. The 18-member deficit commission-- two-thirds of it appointed by Congress, one-third by the president -- is working hard to come up with recommendations by early December. (No one in Washington wants them before the November elections.) It's too early to know where the commission will come out or how much influence it will have -- the co-chairmen themselves say chances of success are small -- but it is already clear that the commission will present the country with gut-wrenching decisions.

fiscal cancer that will destroy the country from within
Obama's debt commission warns of fiscal 'cancer'
BOSTON -- The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission offered an ominous assessment of the nation's fiscal future here Sunday, calling current budgetary trends a cancer "that will destroy the country from within" unless checked by tough action in Washington.
The two leaders -- former Republican senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton -- sought to build support for the work of the commission, whose recommendations due later this year are likely to spark a fierce debate in Congress.

Seven Events That Made America America
From Publishers Weekly
Some events spotlighted in this overwrought right-wing screed, like Martin Van Buren's redesign of political parties in the 1820s and the Dred Scott decision, were genuine historical watersheds. Others, like the Johnstown flood and President Eisenhower's 1955 heart attack, an alleged milestone in government dietary nannyism, maybe not. What unites them is the theme that historian Schweikart (48 Liberal Lies About American History) reliably extracts: the federal government is incompetent and corrupt, and the founders would have abhorred its modern initiatives, from arts funding to disaster relief to the food pyramid. Some of Schweikart's arguments, like his contention that Dred Scott precipitated the Panic of 1857, are intriguing and plausible, but his conclusions run to rabid anticollectivist sermonizing, e.g., throughout history, all inventions, all major decisions have come down to a single person. (Take that, Constitutional Convention!) His credibility is undermined by factual misstatements (In 2003... the world was already reaching its population peak), paranoid hyperbole (beneath the obesity hysteria was a deep hatred of capitalism), and obscure mutterings about 'the Lysenkoist 'man-made global warming' nonsense and the 'other shooters' sighted at President Kennedy's assassination. Schweikart's tea party serves up an iffy blend. (June 1)

48 Liberal Lies About American History
48 Liberal Lies About American History
A historian debunks four-dozen PC myths about our nation’s past.
Over the last forty years, history textbooks have become more and more politically correct and distorted about our country’s past, argues professor Larry Schweikart. The result, he says, is that students graduate from high school and even college with twisted beliefs about economics, foreign policy, war, religion, race relations, and many other subjects.
As he did in his popular A Patriot’s History of the United States, Professor Schweikart corrects liberal bias by rediscovering facts that were once widely known. He challenges distorted books by name and debunks forty-eight common myths. A sample:
• The founders wanted to create a “wall of separation” between church and state
• Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers
• Truman ordered the bombing of Hiroshima to intimidate the Soviets with “atomic diplomacy”
• Mikhail Gorbachev, not Ronald Reagan, was responsible for ending the Cold War
America’s past, though not perfect, is far more admirable than you were probably taught. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

legal defense fund for Arizona s illegal SB 1070 bill keepazsafe
Fund tied to SB 1070 nears $500,000
Donations pour in to Brewer's legal-defense repository from across U.S.
Residents throughout the United States have contributed nearly half a million dollars to a legal-defense fund set up by Gov. Jan Brewer to help fight lawsuits related to Senate Bill 1070.
As of Thursday, the fund had a nearly $500,000 balance - the result of thousands of contributions from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bulk of the money, more than $330,000 of it, has rolled in this week, in the days following the federal government's decision to sue Arizona over the new immigration law.
Brewer formally created the cash repository, officially known as the "Governor's Border Security and Immigration Legal Defense Fund" on May 26.
In the hours before and after the Department of Justice filed its suit Tuesday, Brewer actively sought donations to help defend the state against the legal action, posting pleas on social-media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

$500K donated to Arizona . to defend law
$500K donated to Ariz. to defend law
PHOENIX – Retirees and other residents from all over the country were among those who donated nearly $500,000 to help Arizona defend its immigration enforcement law, with most chipping in $100 or less, according to an analysis of documents obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
The donations, 88 percent of which came through the Arizona defense fund's website, surged this week after the federal government sued Tuesday to challenge the law. A document from Gov. Jan Brewer's office showed that 7,008 of the 9,057 online contributions submitted by Thursday morning were made in the days following the government's filing.
Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, including nearly 2,000 from Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100.
The AP examined about a quarter of the fund's total contributions, and found only two that came from businesses.
The willingness of thousands of individual Americans to contribute to the Arizona fund illustrates broad concern and frustration over border security and illegal immigration. The state's legislation has since renewed calls for broader immigration changes.
The Arizona law includes a requirement that police enforcing another law generally must investigate the immigration status of people if there is "reasonable suspicion" to believe the people are in the United States illegally.
Brewer and other supporters say the law will prompt illegal immigrants to leave the state and that state action was required by a failure of the federal government to secure the border.
Opponents say the law will promote racial profiling and is unconstitutional because regulating immigration is reserved for the federal government.
Donors contacted by the AP said they contributed because the federal government should be helping Arizona, not taking the state to court.
"Arizona needs our help," said Mary Ann Rohde, a retired municipal worker who lives in Rialto, Calif., who donated $20 with her husband. "It's a disgrace what our government is doing."
Howard E. Sanner, of Houston, said Arizona's approval of its law should help prod the federal government to act on border security to help prevent criminals and terrorists from entering the country illegally.

CNN info on the Black Panters and Dept of Justice
The trumped-up allegations that the Obama Justice Department engaged in racially charged "corruption" in its handling of the New Black Panther Party case jumped from Fox News to CNN this morning. Anchor Kyra Phillips hosted Republican activist J. Christian Adams, whom she referred to as a "whistleblower," to repeat his unsubstantiated accusations, which are based on hearsay and charges made by other people.
One of the on-screen graphics described Adams' allegations as "Voter intimidation scandal at Justice Dept.":
During the segment, Phillips discussed the Commission on Civil Rights' investigation into the case with Ashley L. Taylor Jr., a Republican member of the commission. Phillips said that the investigation has "divided" the commission and that two commissioners were Democrats. She then read a portion of a statement from Michael Yaki, a Democratic member of commission, that criticized the commission's months-long investigation as "incredibly shallow," "partisan," and "a one-sided farce."
But Yaki isn't the only member of the commission to criticize its investigation -- Abigail Thernstrom, the Republican vice chair of the panel, has done the same.

DOJ Lawyer Who Brought Black Panthers Case Resigns
DOJ Lawyer Who Brought Black Panthers Case Resigns
By Ryan J. Reilly | May 18, 2010 9:34 pm
The Justice Department trial attorney behind a controversial lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party has resigned, citing the way the DOJ handled the voter intimidation case and subsequent investigation by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
J. Christian Adams, a lawyer with a history in conservative activism who was hired into a career position under a politicized process during the Bush administration, wrote in a May 14 letter to the chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division that he has incurred significant personal expense in connection with the Civil Rights Commission investigation.
Adams was subpoenaed by the commission to testify about the case, but the Justice Department refused to let him appear. Adams wrote that his expenses were incurred in “retaining a number of separate attorneys and firms regarding this subpoena in order to protect my interests and advise me about my personal legal obligation to comply with the subpoena.”

His exhaustive research has rendered him an expert in historical and constitutional issues.

His passionate, practical, engaging and timely approach to complex issues sets him apart from other keynote educators and has established him as a highly regarded and frequently requested keynote speaker.
Mr. Buckner received his Juris Doctorate Degree from J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, holds an MBA from Durham University, England, and an MA in International Relations from the Kennedy Center for International Studies at BYU.
James R. Stoner, Jr., is Professor of Political Science at Louisiana State University, where he has taught since 1988 and chaired his department since 2007.
He is the author of Common-Law Liberty: Rethinking American Constitutionalism and Common Law and Liberal Theory: Coke, Hobbes, and the Origins of American Constitutionalism, as well as a number of articles and essays. In 2002 and 2003 he was a visiting fellow in the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, and he served from 2002 to 2006 on the National Council on the Humanities, to which he was appointed by President Bush.
