Common Core: Rotten to it’s leftist core

Friday, May 10th, 2013

Graphic sex and praising Castro

We urge you to read the this FrontPage magazine article exposing the squalid leftist core of Common Core. Mary Grabar’s report underscores the myriad examples of radical ideology masquerading as education.

This exposé of the outrageous federalized curriculum shows yet another load heaped on the pile of garbage being promoted by the Obama administration and public school establishment, as they attempt to undermine our nation’s students by imposing dumbed-down,...

Amnesty’s actual costs skyrocket to $6.3 trillion

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Jeff Flake, when given clear choices, sides with far left

What a surprise! The Soros-backed “Media Matters” is running interference for the McCain/Flake Amnesty Gang. 

Media Matters (MM), a reliable arm of the Obama regime, with far reaching tentacles in every aspect of the left-wing MSM, goes to the mat attempting to undercut a new study by the conservative policy group Heritage Foundation which details the enormous costs — $6.3 trillion — associated with the implementation of...

Opportunism not playing well for Jeff Flake

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Even when Flake inadvertently votes the right way, he backtracks when confronted

The latest Public Policy Polling survey does not bode well for Arizona’s junior senator Jeff Flake. In fact, after just 3 months in office Flake has already become one of the most unpopular senators in the country. We’d understand if Flake lost favor over his stance on granting amnesty to the at least 25 million illegal aliens who have invaded our country, but that’s not the reason for his decline.

It’s no s...

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...

Obama’s Marxist redistribution plan is underway

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Karl_Marx_Friedrich_Engels

The Washington Post runs a 5-page report on the efforts undertaken by food stamp recruiters to coax people into signing up for taxpayer financed benefits. Potential recipients are lured with free food, gift packages for themselves and even their pets, and told “you deserve it.” Some states host SNAP-themed bingo games, others distribute fliers that read: “Be a patriot. Bring your food stamp money home.” Still other states throw food stamp parties where new recipients sign up en masse at...

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...

Illegals receive billions: Obama demands “fair share”

Foreign nationals exploit IRS loophole: Additional Child Tax Credit

Yesterday, April 18, marked the 108th day of 2013, or Tax Freedom Day — as calculated by the Tax Foundation.  That is the day, four months into the year, when Americans have finally earned enough income to pay the tab for all federal, state, and local taxes for 2013. In the simplest of terms, that means you”ve been working from New Year’s Eve until mid-April just to pay your taxes. With that hard fact in mind, w...

Obama the Redistributionist is on our doorstep

Marxism: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”

The Hill’s On The Money, reports that Obama’s budget, to be released this coming Wednesday, will limit how much wealthy individuals – “like Mitt Romney” – can keep in IRAs and other retirement accounts. The proposal would save around $9 billion over a decade, a senior regime official said, while also “bringing more fairness to the tax code.”

Notice the words, “like Mitt Romney,” and “bringing m...

Obama finds time to pick best looking AG

Friday, April 5th, 2013

It’s all a matter of political perspective

Pam_Bondi_FLA_AG

Taking time from his vacations, global apology tours and teeing up with Tiger Woods, Barack Obama has determined that “by far the best looking Attorney General” is Kamala Harris. Kamala_Harris_CA_AG

During a speech at a DNC fundraising luncheon on Thursday, Obama broke from the heavy topic of climate change to give a “shout-out” to California Attorney General Kamala Harris, noting a couple of times that she is “easy on the eyes.”

“She’s ...

US Citizens suffer high joblessness in Gang of 8 states

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Senate gangsters deceive on “labor shortages” to promote guest-worker/amnesty

In a well researched report that shines a bright light on the hypocrisy of the notorious amnesty hustling Gang of 8, The Center for Immigration Studies details the high rate of citizen unemployment in the home states of the senators who are pushing a deal bestowing legal status on illegal aliens.

Both nationally and in the states represented by the Gof8, unemployment is chronically high among American citiz...

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 ...

Obama salivating over $19.4 trillion in U.S. savings

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

On the heels of our recent post Pay attention: Cyprus gov’t raids 60% of private accounts, we have even more alarming news much closer to home. There is a concerted effort playing out within the Obama administration to separate Americans from their hard-earned savings

This May 2010 article in Human Events titled Republicans Sound Alarm on Administration Plan to Seize 401(k)s, provides important background, including a letter sent to the secretaries of the U.S. Treasury and the Department of La...

AZ Medicaid expansion takes a major blow

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

Abortion funding assured under Gov. Brewer’s surrender to ObamaCare

In addition to the continually mounting grassroots opposition of Republican activists in counties and districts across Arizona to Gov. Jan Brewer’s reckless Medicaid expansion, we now have this letter from M. Casey Mattox, Senior Counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom.

Mattox’s letter is in response to a request for clarity from State Rep. Justin Olson (R-LD 25). In it, Mattox unequivocally defines the impact of the ...
