Amnesty lies revealed

Conservative columnist Thomas Sowell is a favorite for a reason. His brilliant mind clarifies and distills issues that have been analyzed and debated ad infinitum. Here’s Sowell’s take on “Comprehensive” immigration reform, which he argues “serves the interests of politicians who like to be on both sides of a controversial issue, and it serves the interests of those foreigners who want to game the system in the United States, at the expense of the American pe...

844 page amnesty bill: “Being stampeded without enough scrutiny”

Plain spoken conservative Congressman Steve King is, without a doubt, the man many Arizonans would eagerly take in trade for our two double-talking, Democrat-colluding ‘Gang of 8‘ U.S. Senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake.

No waffler, the Iowa Republican even posts his voting record on his website for all to see.

On the issue of “immigration” McCain’s site has a pull-down linking to Homeland Security, with no...

Polls: Americans fear gov’t over terrorism

Monday, April 29th, 2013

Recent polling tells the grim story of the underlying fear many Americans express about our government. For the first time since September 11, 2001, Americans are more fearful their government will abuse constitutional liberties than fail to keep its citizens safe.

Even in the wake of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, in which a pair of radical Islamic jihadist brothers are accused of planting explosives that took the lives of 3 and wounded over 200 — two distinct polls indicate Ameri...

Immigration: Addressing the harsh realities

Sunday, April 28th, 2013

Bi-partisan acknowledgment that the nation’s legal immigration system is also in need of repair

Earlier this week, as the nation was still reeling, trying to absorb the grisly aftermath of the Boston marathon bombings, Ann Coulter wrote a cogent column titled: The  problem isn’t just illegal immigration, it’s legal immigration, too. Coulter’s fact-filled commentary is our “Weekend reading guaranteed to make you smarter” recommendation.

Opposition growing to Gang of 8’s amnesty scheme

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

Numbers USA features a compilation of quotes from noted conservatives who exemplify the backlash against the amnesty bill introduced this week by the Gang of 8 — two of whom, John McCain and Jeff Flake — claim to represent Arizonan citizens.  Republican Senators hold the key to whether this amnesty of millions of illegals passes or fails. And the conservative opinion media that tend to matter most to them are showing increasing disdain for the bill.

Senate immigration hearings: Déjà vu on steroids

Friday, April 19th, 2013

Speaking at the start of today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on granting amnesty to millions here in the U. S. illegally, Sen. Charles  Grassley (R-Iowa) noted that exactly 30 years ago — April, 19, 1983 — the same committee met to consider similar immigration legislation that claimed to bolster border security and reunite separated families.

“Now 30 years have passed, and we’re saying the same thing, facing the same problems,” Grassley said. “We’re proposing the same re...

$ Billions in loophole-filled amnesty scheme for invaders, families

More good people coming to do the work Americans refuse to do

In his revealing, must-read 2-page report, The Daily Caller’s Neil Munro details the “Many loopholes hidden in the immigration bill” being shepherded by Arizonans John McCain and Jeff Flake, doing Obama’s work in collusion with the Gang of 8 gangsters. McCain admits it’s “not that much different from what we tried to do in 2007.”

Munro’s exposé comes as the reality of the ongoing criminality of those who will...

Limitations on ammo, guns, driving panic

Monday, April 8th, 2013

As the Obama regime continues to advance restrictive gun-control legislation, average Americans are attempting to stock up on ammunition, which is in short supply. Ammo was the big seller this past weekend at the two-day Crossroads of the West Gun Show at the Ontario Convention Center in southern California.  ”The line to purchase ammunition snaked around the exhibit hall,” said Bob Templeton, gun show owner. “It was taking nearly three hours for shoppers to make their way to...

Reminder: How Mexico treats foreigners

Monday, April 1st, 2013

This commentary by syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin is enlightening. 

Malkin’s reminder is especially pertinent given the push for granting amnesty to an estimated 26 million+ illegals by congressional Republicrats, including Arizona Senators McCain and McFlake, who foolishly believe this is the route to increasing GOP election victories.

Congress is set to reconvene after the Easter break, and this issue is a key agenda item.

 Do yourself a favor and ...

McCain, Flake, gangsters, take absurd PR border tour

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

In a newscast nearly as vacuous as Arizona’s amnesty twins John McCain and Jeff McFlake, reporter Navideh Forghani glowingly describes the scene at the Arizona-Mexico border where “this kid” hopped the fence  The Republicrats took a couple of their “Gang of 8” Dem cohorts for a stroll along the border yesterday afternoon. Chuck Schumer (NY) and Michael Bennet (Colo.) got an eyeful as they watched illegals jumping the fence that is woefully inadequate in providing security.
