STOP AMNESTY AND YOU STOP ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTERS!

Stop ‘Fast Track’ Amnesty Before FridayTell the Department of Homeland Security: No Amnesty Waivers! Stop ‘Fast Track’ Amnesty (“Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver”) — Take Action! June 1 – this Friday, tomorrow – is the deadline for your comments to be reviewed by the Obama Administration in reference to their stealth fast-track Amnesty Waivers! We must move on this immediately. The amnesty provisions seem to have been purposefully hidden from the American public, buried in the Federal Register. On Page 19,902 of the Federal Register, the rule change for amnesty waivers was posted. It is so far back that most people — including our Congressmen — haven’t read it! It seems that the Obama administration wants this hidden from America so that millions of illegal immigrants can attain amnesty as soon as possible.Read More

OBAMA TO HIS ADMINISTRATION, "I LIE AND YOU SWEAR TO IT"

White House vs. Fact Checkers: Sticking to Obama’s Fiscal StoryThe Obama administration is holding firm to its heavily challenged assertion that federal spending has slowed during his tenure in office. At a campaign earlier this month in Denver, Obama said, “Since I’ve been president, federal spending has risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years. Yes, we’re going to streamline government. There’s more waste to be cut.” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has repeatedly stood by the statement invoking a MarketWatch column, and on Wednesday, an assessment by Jared Bernstein, a former economic aide to Vice President Joe Biden.Read More

Book Recommendation. The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors: The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy's Finest Hour. By James D. Hornfischer

http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Stand-Sailors-Extraordinary/dp/0553381482/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1338484281&sr=1-1

I listened to this as an audio book in the car, and often found myself wanting to drive around to keep it going. Hornfischer has a wonderful ability to cover the big picture while having a fine eye for details and individual stories. Though far less well-known than Midway, the Battle of Samar was arguably the US Navy’s most gallant action in WWII. Perhaps it has been glossed over because that otherwise excellent leader, Bull Halsey, got sucked out of position, making the sacrifice necessary. If you are interested in that conflict, in military/navel history, or in American heroism, you won’t want to miss this well-written book. We still have such men defending the Republic out on the far flung battle lines, but it’s an open question if we have enough of them to face down a crisis of WWII magnitude. And I fear one is coming. ~Bob

MSM SKEWING POLL DATE TO APPEASE OBAMA

Breakdown Of Demographics Shows Obama In Trouble

May 30, 2012 02:42 pm

Barack Obama is not winning any voting bloc he lost in 2008, and he is not doing better with any bloc he did win four years ago. Nevertheless, the “experts” keep telling us that this race is tied or that Obama is leading. The only way to explain these “expert’” pronouncements is that Obama has [...]

OUR 'PURCHASING POWER' DEBASED BY 10% ANNUALLY (40%) OBAMA WANTS MORE SPENDING!

The Dishonest Media And The Debt Ceiling

Watch the spin machine ramp up into high gear! Europe is crumbling. China is slowing. The Federal Reserve is dithering. Yet the biggest threat to the emerging U.S. economic recovery may be Congress. John Boehner, the leader of the House Republicans, has promised yet another fight with the White House over the debt ceiling — the limit Congress has placed on the amount the federal government can borrow. If this sounds familiar, it’s because we suffered through an identical performance last summer. Our analysis of that episode leads to a troubling conclusion: It almost derailed the recovery, and this time could be a lot worse. Recovery?  What recovery?

Want to help with research into moral values?

www.yourmorals.org

I recommended the book The Righteous Mind by Jonathon Haidt. At this site, you can take a number of interesting surveys on the foundations of your moral beliefs, then compare them to both liberals and conservatives on the same surveys. It helps Dr. Haidt and his colleagues on their research. You can also provide feedback. (I thought the one on ethnicity and culture was bad, because it assumes that race and culture are the same thing, clearly wrong IMHO. I think many of our problems are based on culture, not race. I’d prefer to hang out with black Marines over white Greek socialists any day. Or white German Nazis or white Russian Communists. But I found most of them quite interesting. ~Bob
