Back in his college days, Antonio Villaraigosa was chairman of the UCLA chapter of MEChA, but that’s been no impediment to his political career. Villaraigosa is currently mayor of Los Angeles.
Of course, the LA Mayor doesn’t really want the U.S. to keep Mexican illegal aliens out of the U.S. But when it comes to his residence, Villaraigosa wants security.
This is from the LA Weekly blog entitled
L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Wants a Six-Foot Security Wall Erected Around His Mansion :

ARE YOU GUILTY OF HAVING A FALSE GOD? LIBERALS ARE!
Submitted by: Doris Parker
I must admit, I've never really thought about the possibility of government being a false god.
The author of this article (Christine Smith) makes a very convincing argument that governments can indeed become false gods.

THE SOCIALISTS 23rd PSALM
The Government is my shepherd;
Therefore, I need not work;
It allows me to lie down on a good job;
It leads me besides the still factories.
It destroys my initiative;
It leads me in the path of a parasite for politics's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending;
I fear no evil, for the Government is with me;
It preparest an economic utopia for me;
By appropriating the earnings of my own grandchildren.
It fills my head with false security;
My inefficiency runneth over.
Surely the Government should care for me all the days of my life;
And I shall live forever in a fool's paradise.
Doris Parker Comments: Somehow even though many complain about the government taking care of everyone's needs or greeds, in some cases, I have the feeling when it gets down to the nitty gritty and the government starts to stop a lot of the programs many that hollered for cutting will say that they didn't mean what they get from the government. Like Social Security that is the only source they have to live on. Military retirement pay, Civil Service Retirement pay. SSI for those that have no form of retirement as well as indigent veterans Old people that are in Rest Homes. Medicare.
A lot of these programs I have heard many say more and more lately that people have already gotten far more than they have ever paid into them as well as the interest that they would have gotten if they had put that money somewhere to draw interest from. It's a sad fact that when cutting starts, as it will have to because of someone having spent a lot of money in the past two years that cuts will be coming and they will hurt many that aren't expecting it to be at their door.

WEEP OR FIGHT...YOUR CHOICE

“The Plan”—Agenda 21 and the Death Knell of Liberty
“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. ...The real enemy then is humanity itself.”—From the Club of Rome’s “The First Global Revolution” p. 71,75 1993
“Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.”—John Donne (1572-1631)
The death knell for freedom has been tolling for some time, and only now are people starting to hear it. It started tolling faintly, decades back, and has slowly progressed in volume, until today its tolling is impossible to ignore.
The United States of America—that “shining city on a hill”—had a good run of it, and made a gallant effort at establishing liberty for all. But as the old saw would have it, all good things must come to an end.
Liberty, after all, is an aberration in mankind’s history—a light that has flared here and there over the centuries, only to dissolve back into the darkness.
America is barreling toward becoming a bit player on the world’s stage, and its vaunted middle class—once the envy of the world—is on the verge of being eliminated. For the good of the planet, for the good of Gaia. For the good of the collective—freedom is being replaced by servitude, capitalism by socialism, and property rights by “sustainable development.” (Link)
LIBERALS AND UNIONS SEEN AS 'FOOLS' BY THEIR ACTIONS
MICHAEL GOODWIN: Union Bile Runneth Over
By Michael Goodwin
Published February 27, 2011
| New York Post
The Boiling Over of the Liberal Mind is on full display these days, and it is not a pretty sight.
Union protesters in Wisconsin compared Gov. Scott Walker to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and other tyrants. A sign showed him in a Nazi salute and screamed, "Heil Walker." Another said, "Hitler, Stalin, Walker." Still another showed a swastika next to his name.
New York unions also reached back to World War II, although with a twist. "Wisconsin: Our Pearl Harbor," wrote John Samuelson, president of the local Transport Workers Union, which represents transit workers. He railed against "enemies of labor and democracy."
OBAMA, A NARCISSISTIC, EASILY OFFENDED!
Submitted by: Donald Hank
I just forwarded the link with the text below, but was unable to find any corroboration that Obama was actually offended. Sorry, I hadn't read the message carefully enough.
There are a lot of sites claiming that Zero was offended, but no sources were given, so it seems suspicious. Sorry.
It's still a pretty good imitation though.
Don Hank
Steve Bridges imitated George Bush on the Jay Leno Show during the entire eight years he was president. He was made up to look and act almost exactly like Bush. He has now started imitating Obama and REALLY does it right. The Administration has tried to put a stop to Bridges' act because Obama has made it known that he is deeply offended. |

Sacramento: Union goons swarm - attack. 1 Tea Partier injured, 1 Teamster arrested
- Submitted by: Darla Dawald, Patriot Action Network
Is anybody really surprised that a group of Teamsters swarmed across a Sacramento street to physically attack our people during a Move On sponsored anti-Taxpayer rally Saturday (February 26, 2011) at the California State Capitol?
This was the second such protest within days at the same location. Earlier in the week (Tuesday) the Service Employees International Union (which in California represents largely illegal aliens and is a chief advocate for amnesty) held a similar event.

UTAH - MAKE A DECISION - FREEDOM OR LIBERALISM!
Submitted by: Debbie Warren
Where the hell are the Conservative leaders? We need more Scott Walkers in our world. How in the name of God is a Senator allowed to hold positions in America at the same time they hold offices in another country? I'm ignorant on this so I'm going to ask where Issa is on this? Which agency, committee has the duty to act upon something like this? Anyone who does not see this problem with Robles as a Homeland Security issue and a violation of the requirements to hold such a vital position in our government is in deep denial or corrupt.
This demonstrates 'why' all these scumbags don't step up. Too many of them are breaking laws or have done so previously It's no different than a street gang that takes over turf and then blackmails and threatens any one who puts their power at risk. They all seem to have something on one another. Look at Rangel, Frank, Pelosi, Maxine Waters...in your face violations of trust and wholesale criminality and theft and they walk while a guy who steals a car or a TV faces far greater accountability, cost and punishment for his crime.
And what the HELL is wrong with Utah? They will have their own 'little' Mexico from this legislation and a stinking mess for a state in no time. What part of NO jobs for Illegal Aliens and NO immigration until our citizens are employed and back to the business of contributing to our economy? It is exhausting to fight our legislators and other Fiduciaries, foreign invaders and illegal aliens and now this wholesale thuggery of greedy public sector teachers/garbage collectors/ who operate like street gang members with an attitude that they deserve more than their fellow private sector citizens; and see no real accountability being brought to bear upon any of them. Conversely, the average real citizen is being assaulted, threatened, ruined, violated and intimidated on a daily basis and if they are unable to pay taxes (tribute to the trolls) because of the destruction wrought by all of this corruption; they are the only ones facing prosecution and seizure of whatever they have left.
All rhetorical questions...just a rant. We all know what is going on and why. I just wish more people would face it.

WHY NOT AMERICA? DID OBAMA FORGET?
Libya: British special forces conduct daring rescue
By Jim KouriBritish special forces troops conducted a daring rescue and evacuation operation on Saturday that one U.S. counterterrorist called "a mission deserving of motion picture depiction."
On Saturday, members of the United Kingdom's Special Air Service, or SAS, landed in military transport aircraft in a remote area near a Libyan seaport. The SAS operatives had flown from Malta after planning the rescue of civilian workers from the U.K.
The operation was initiated when British officials in London began to fear their workers might be taken hostage by Libya's regular army or the hired mercenaries from Chad and the Sudan who've gained a reputation for being brutal, "loose cannons."
TEXAS CITY LEADS THE WAY
Submitted by: Kurt J Fitsch
This is a good way of doing this...if it is indeed true.
-- Recently, in the City of Dallas, Texas, they passed an ordinance that if you are pulled over by law enforcement and not able to provide proof of insurance, your car will be towed right away.
Afterwards, to retrieve your car after being impounded, you must show proof of insurance to have your car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars that are typically driven by mostly illegals.
Shortly after "No insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up quickly and were full after nine days. Most of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Not only must you provide proof of insurance to have your car released, you have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and charged $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.
I would suggest other cities across the nation to follow what Dallas, Texas is doing. Not only is it getting uninsured drivers off the road, but it is taking away vehicles driven by illegals that have no insurance that might endanger your life.
Brings a tear to my eye.
GO Texas !

Dallas' Solution
Get them off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality. Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this one.
Dallas, TX's solution to Illegal's ... Brilliant!!!

UNIONS - AMERICA'S BANE!
Submitted by: Donald Hank
Federal and state workers make a LOT more than you and I (on average), and it's because we have bought into the myth that unions are for fair treatment of workers. They may have been at one time, but have become a den of thieves.
My town of York, PA went from a boom town to one of the poorest in America because the exorbitant demands of the union forced Caterpillar out of town. Now they are threatening to shut down Harley (the best paid plant in the area).
But in government? The collective bargaining via a union is superfluous because the workers already have powerful lobbies. Can you imagine if military personnel or social security recipients had a union that demanded more and more all the time?
Vote NO.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO ONE SINGLE FACT - OBAMA IS PURPOSELY SEEKING AMERICA'S DOWNFALL
Obama Organizes Labor Mobs to Overturn Elections
US Left Brings Labor Mobs to Resist Fiscal Reform
Will This Be End of Rule of Law?
UPDATE: Elections have consequences, but it is looking as if the Democrat "progressive' Left in America -- like the old Soviet Union and other extremist, totalitarian movements -- is unwilling to accept those consequences and abide by the will of the majority as expressed in free and fair elections. Public union labor mobs mobilized and funded by Barack Obama's front Organizing for America are turning out unruly demonstrations in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and now California, protesting legislative efforts to restore fiscal sanity to exploding state budgets -- legislative efforts just as must be taken to the federal budget. If the newly-elected state leaders fold to these mobs, America's future is forfeit.Will This Be End of Rule of Law?

IGNORE OBAMA - IGNORE ENVIRONMENTALISTS - DRILL, DRILL, DRILL - AMERICA NEEDS OIL~
Friend of Free Enterprise:
As unrest boils over in the Middle East, the American people are watching what's happening throughout the Muslim world and wondering if they are witnessing the rise of another Ayatollah Khomeini somewhere in the Gulf region, a despot that ultimately will destabilize the free enterprise system not only in the United States, but throughout the free world.
This matters because the price of crude oil rises with the temperatures of the times---and times in that region are currently VERY HOT.
THIS MEANS WE MUST TELL OUR GOVERMENT "DRILL, BABY, DRILL!"
Mideast destabilization is now driving up the price of crude, now over $100.00 per barrel. When oil exceeds the $120.00 per barrel rate, and stays there, it will have a devastating impact on all consumer goods, triggering a massive spike in not only in retail prices, but in interest rates as well. The current world scenario raises the question of exactly what is "cheap oil." Cheap oil used to be Mideast oil because it was the least expensive place in the world to drill. That is no longer the case. Yet, the United States is totally dependent on foreign oil. We must end our dependency on foreign oil! Now, more than ever, we must put an end to the environmentalists holding our oil resources hostage. Help us Fax every single Member of the U.S. Congress and tell them to take REAL ACTION to find domestic solutions to our Middle East oil crisis! Please CLICK HERE to SEND YOUR FAXES and tell them to "DRILL, BABY, DRILL!" Demand that Congress open up drilling on the coastal waters of the United States! The Action Fund is committed to fighting to open U.S. oil reserves for drilling by U.S. companies. We need your financial. DONATE to CDFE Action Fund today!
Cuba and its partners are about to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, but United States companies cannot do the same. That means not only is Cuba able to tap into resources Americans should be benefitting from, but they are putting us at risk of hazards and spills we have no control over.
Every oil-producing country in the world is drilling in the Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, and along the California coast---EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES!! Our government is subservient to the fears that environmentalists have raised. It begs the question: Who are the environmentalists in bed with, other than the Democrats?
Drilling for oil here in America would not only reduce our prices and prevent us from being at the mercy of the volatile Middle Eastern region---but it would also BRING JOBS TO AMERICA.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) worked with the North Dakota Geological Survey, a number of petroleum industry companies and independent universities and other experts to study the Bakken Formation in North Dakota and Montana.
James Bartis, leading researcher with the study, says America has more oil in this one compact area than the entire Middle East.
The Department of Interior believes that North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3 to 4.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil in this area, and it could be extracted at an approximate cost to Americans of only $16 a barrel.
Royal Dutch Shell believes we could extract fuel from oil shale, a type of sedimentary rock found in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado's Western Slope. Studies indicate there may be more than one trillion barrels of oil in this shale. THAT IS NEARLY THREE TIMES THE RESERVES IN SAUDI ARABIA.
America would have a sufficient oil supply for the next 400 years.

He says the House needs to "stop drawing lines in the sand" and work with Democrats "to negotiate a responsible, long-term solution" to our government's fiscal crisis. To bolster America's march into socialism, "big government" public employee union mobs are in the streets screaming for more taxpayer subsidized freebies.
