Seems that you cannot enforce immigration law in PA either.

See here for article.Note that this is a case that has been appealed since 2007.

I think that the war of citizens against their government is advancing daily…..the fires are being fanned by the courts.

“first we kill all the lawyers”……

But explained well….Very well.

For about 10 seconds, I was buying it.

Worth watching.

Perhaps the global warmening folks should take lessons……

After a great deal of thought regarding the antipathy to violence which occurred in comments and such over at Roberta’s site in the past few days…I have to quote this portion of a great speech. Oddly prescient when viewed from today’s perspective. You may feel the same way. Or not. At some point of provocation, these words will become much more relevant to you…..

“Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! 

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.”

Read the whole thing. Understand  that the enemy is not the same, but the logic is. I do not advocate war, nor violence. But the question which Mr. Henry asks is a valid question today. How would you answer him, were he to appear before you? I know my answer. Do you?

Follow the link….Read the whole thing.

Think

Decide.

There was flooding a few weeks ago in Chicago, Northeastern Illinois (really all of the northern part of the state) and some parts of NW Indiana. Really heavy torrential rains.

Did the federal government show up immediately and help???  Nope

The State government??? Nope.

But now….weeks afterwards. We have this help. Free money. Free food stamps.

WEEKS after the floods. And NO VERIFICATION THAT THE RECIPIENT HAD SUFFERED ANY DAMAGE….All you had to do was show proof that you lived in the ZIP CODE…..

Is there anything the government does well ? 

Hey, what the hell, it’s not like it will make a difference in the deficit or anything….

and seemingly, prone to violence. (see comments re: the first link…. and the second section in the 2nd link)

Do you think that there is a point at which an armed uprising is acceptable vis-a-vis the alternatives? Is it ok to take action preemptively?

Is there a point at which you will rise up in revolt? (BTW, don’t tell me, I could be a provocateur….But decide for yourself where the line is…best to do so beforehand, so you’ll not just be ruled by emotions like anger or fear). But where is your line in the sand? Having to show your papers every time you enter or leave a town….Or whenever a policeman decides he wants to know…..or when taxes get above 60%….or what?

Seriously though, while Roberta and I may disagree, she has a point…Starting the fight may be a tactical mistake. But I think not being willing to start one makes you weaker….

Something to think about.

and not by me….

Will this fly? I think not, at least not unless a MAJOR upset in November…..But still, the fact that is has happened is another crack in the wall of the socialist president. A major paper is publishing this rant…..

I personally don’t think the charges are valid….but even if they stick, the votes wouldn’t be there.

Mr. Obama, The Socialist Democrats, and the rest of the welfare/Obamacare crowd:
If an able-bodied person is ABSOLVED of the responsibility of providing for the physical needs of themselves and their dependents, by what logic do you arrive at a place where I am BURDENED with the responsibility of providing for the physical needs of said person and their dependents?

Seriously……Explain the logic.

I’m waiting to be enlightened.

Via INSTY, comes the rerun of the REAL STORY of Katrina.

The truths are manyfold. The fact is that the Liberal DNC backed governmnent failed on nearly every level in New Orleans. The fact is that the National Guard, and the Coast Guard, and the rest of the military backed first responders did a wonderful job. The fact is that the union backed locals failed miserably, at least until shored up by the National Guard. The fact is that the DNC backed mayor had less ability than Democratness (and blackness), and couldn’t govern OR LEAD the people who elected him….Same story for the governor, who failed her state miserably.

The fact is that the story as represented by the media was at best poorly and incompetently reported, and at worst a well executed and well planned LIE to the American people for political purposes.

The fact is that the first reponders did a wonderful job, and that FEMA, which is not supposed to be a first responder, was castigated for not being there early enough, and for not doing enough. But the fact is that all of the story of Katrina was a lie.

Let us not forget, the non DNC run states, like Mississippi, recovered faster, even though they had more damage, did a better job of taking care of their citizens, and didn’t have a significant percentage of their populations who couldn’t take care of themselves or plan more than 4 hours in advance.

As they say, READ THE WHOLE THING.

without much fanfare…..We marked the anniversary of the passing of a senator….

Who noticed?

The late, unlamented, Teddy.

How much damage did he do the US in his years in the senate?

I, for one, am glad he is gone. As forgotten as Ms Kopechne, I hope that he will meet her in the afterlife, and have to face her.

 ETA:
In another blog, in comments, someone pointed out that Teddy has, for the first time, made “one year sober”.
