Below is a very good article on the attitude of the current occupant of the White House.  Hopefully in two years he will not be the people's house.

What American President Would Do That?

By Carol A. Taber

Other presidents have been wrong. Other presidents have been misguided. Other presidents have been weak and pusillanimous and pathetic. 

Only one truly disdains America. His name is Barack Obama.

How else to explain his latest outrage against the country that elevated him to the ranks of world leadership? Last week, the Obama State Department submitted a report to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights on the supposed human rights violations taking place in the United States. According to the Washington Times, the report describes how the United States discriminates against the disabled, homosexuals, women, Native Americans, blacks, Hispanics and those who don't speak English. There is the expected pandering to Muslims...the report notes that until recently, the U.S. engaged in torture, unlawfully detained terrorist suspects and illegally spied on Americans communicating with terrorists ... but the report assures readers that Mr. Obama has been putting a stop to all that.

Beyond the outrage felt by Governor Jan Brewer, whose move to protect Arizonans' human rights was offered up as an example of an abuse of human rights by Mr. Obama's State Department report (gotta protect those drug cartel murderers!), for many citizens, this report is a rank anti-American manifesto and the last straw. Many believe it to be outright evil, that there is no other word to encompass Obama's disgraceful and indefensible decision. This odious report has placed America -- us -- on a list of human rights violators that includes Iran, North Korea, and Sudan. And Mr. Obama and his administration have done it purposefully, intentionally, and with malice aforethought.

The truth, on the other hand, is that every demographic group mentioned in the report as victimized by America is better off in America than in any other country on earth. That's why they stay here. If they don't like America, they're free to leave at any time. We're not the Soviet Union or China, restricting population flow. European glories are only a plane ticket away.

But they don't leave. That's because the people of America have a higher standard of living, more opportunity for high-quality health care (at least for a little while longer), a better shot at a decent education, and more personal freedom to pursue occupations of their choice -- and life, liberty, and happiness -- than in any other place on the planet.

But according to Obama, splinter groups of Americans (including women, who compose a majority of the population) are hapless and defenseless victims of our "downright mean" country, a description coined by Mrs. Obama during Mr. Obama's campaign for president. The State Department report is a typical liberal look-at-America-through-a-toilet-seat perspective, construing every minor problem as systemic and considering all forms of law enforcement discriminatory. The report is unseemly and deeply offensive to the American people. 

Worse, it's not just Obama and his thumb-sucking minions whining about America to other Americans -- at least that wouldn't be purveying false notions about America outside our borders. No, lying to Americans about the cruelty of their country isn't enough for Obama -- he must preach it to the world. Because in Obama's worldview, the world is the ultimate arbiter of America, even though that quaint document, our Constitution, specifically grants such responsibility to the American people alone.

It's nonsensical from a legal point of view, and Obama's a lawyer. One of the chief notions in legal academia is that a judge's political perspective shapes his decisions no matter how hard he attempts to be objective. The same holds true for countries -- Iran will judge us through the Iranian anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-freedom, fundamentalist Islamic perspective it uses for everything else. Yet Obama inexplicably sees the judgment of countries like Iran as important and wants to lay bare before the world each of our minute flaws -- some real, some imagined -- for careful examination and exploitation by our most implacable enemies, with much of that exploitation dangerous to our national security and to ordinary Americans.

Perhaps it's because Obama has spent most of his life in a Christian country that he doesn't understand how the world works -- over here, we don't cast the first stone. Instead, we target the most egregious human rights violators and try to curb their violations. Maybe Obama thinks the rest of the world will act in truly Christian fashion, too, and focus on the true human rights violators even if we expose ourselves to the tyrants, dictators, and mullahs. That would make him an idiot.

More likely, Obama just doesn't give a tinker's damn whether the world flays us because he thinks America's minor flaws are major ones. It is possible that Obama dislikes America because this is the country that produced his rootless life and gave leeway to his drunk, child-abandoning Kenyan father. More likely, Obama is displeased with this country because he spent his childhood wandering from identity to identity until he found one that justified his alienation -- identity as a Marxist racialist -- an elevated identity in the left's hierarchy of the victimized.

Whatever the reason, Obama has no soft spot for America. The unpresidential condescension he feels for our country and its religion- and gun-clinging citizens oozes from his pores and spills out of them in unguarded moments. And that disrespect -- the kind that comes only from those who are clueless about leadership -- gives both aid and comfort to our enemies and leaves those who wish to share in the bounty of our freedom and liberty in the dark.

What American president would do that?

I'm an older American adult.  I've worked since I was 9 on our farm and general country store.  I am retired from the US Army and have owned businesses.  I believe our country is heading for socialism under the current administration and I am tired of the actions of the US Congress and Obama.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic and do not want to work and be responsible for themselves.
 
I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.  The Bush tax cuts will stop and new Obama taxes will be implemented.

I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes."  Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.
 
I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities  America offers. In thirty years,if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of  Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of  China , the crime and violence of Mexico,the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
 
I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.
 
I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and not a bigger socialist type of government. 

I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. 

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
 
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.
 
I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?  Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?  And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  We want people to enter the US legally and who can speak English, don't have a criminal record and who are self-supporting without yjeir family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need. 

I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war?  You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave?  Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are?  Not even close.  So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. 

I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in  Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.  I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. 

Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.  I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. 

Finally, I am tired of politicians who are self-serving and make a career out of political office.  The ones who are spending money we do not have and borrow it from China, who cannot make decisions for the benefit of the nation, and the ones who do not enforce the law.

We, tax paying citizens are angry at the liberal elected officials who have no fiscal responsibility and are leading our country to socialism--the Obama way.

Millions of hard-working American citizens who pay their bills, send in their income taxes, maintain their homes and repay their mortgage loans see their federal and state governments reward those who do not or who are not legal US citizens.
 
It is the anger of small town and Middle American folks who have never been to Manhattan, who put their savings in a community bank and borrow from a local credit union, who watch Washington lawmakers and presidents of both parties hand billions in taxpayer bailouts to the reckless Wall Street titans who brought down the economy in 2008.
 
It is the fury of the voiceless, the powerless, the ordinary nobodies of Flyover Country who are ridiculed, preached to, satirized and insulted by the Celebrity Loudmouths of the two Left Coasts, the Jon Stewarts and Keith Olbermanns, the Paul Krugmans and their ilk.  Even President Obama has said that the Tea Party individuals are just right-wing nuts.
 
The Democrats in Congress are not listening to the average American tax payer.  They are willfully ignoring public opinion and the verdict of recent elections in passing a huge new health care entitlement when the existing entitlements of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are already going broke.  Now, they are talking about a VAT to pay for all of their reckless policies.  More taxes and more federal government control.
 
We feel frustrated and helpless as we watch politicians and the courts stretch and bend the Constitution -- finding "rights" not enumerated, powers never granted, meanings unimagined -- believe that their country is being redefined without their consent.
 
Most of us who are "the angry" are not out marching in the streets, waving signs or shouting into bullhorns.  We are not smashing windows or phoning death threats to politicians.  We are simply waking up angry in the morning, and going to bed angry at night.  We are waiting for the November elections to make the necessary changes in Congress and in state elections.
 
We are tired of being told we are too stupid to understand the country's complex problems, too rooted in the past to find solutions, too selfish to share what we have worked for with everyone else who wants it.  We are tired of politicians who take our money and our rights, while buying off voters with our money.
 
We are angry and we are not going to take the liberal socialist policies any more!

In the below article, Secretary Napolitano tells the American public that all is well along our borders and that DHS has met their milestones set by Congress.  This is a false statement.  The true metrics of what is happening on our borders are not discussed. 

What are real metrics and not just "puff"?  The goal of this administration is ANMESTY for 20 million illegals.

What should be measured:
1.  Number of illegals that get across the border
2.  Number of human traffickers
3.  Number of drug runners
4.  Amount of drugs coming across the border
5.  Number of local and state agencies assisting under 287 (g)
6.  Number of Day Labor Centers across America
7.  Number of Consular offices opened by Mexico and other Central/South American countries
8.  Number of country origins of illeglas arrested
9.  Correct number of miles of fence that are built to specification
10. Number of actual agents on the border
11. Number of cameras, UAVs, and sensors on the border
12. Coordination with ICE on arresting illegals and business owners who give them jobs

Napolitano pronounces US border more secure now
By SUZANNE GAMBOA (AP)

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has met many of the border
security benchmarks Congress set in 2007 as a prerequisite to
immigration reform and now it's time to change the law, Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday.

Napolitano, designated by President Barack Obama to lead the
administration's immigration reform efforts, said many members of
Congress had said they could support immigration reform, but only after
border security improved, Napolitano said.

"Fast forward to today, and many of the benchmarks these members of
Congress set in 2007 have been met," she said in a speech to the Center
for American Progress, a liberal think tank.

She cited construction of 600 miles of border fence and the hiring of
more than 20,000 Border Patrol agents. Illegal immigration has also
fallen sharply because of better enforcement and the economy.

"I've been dealing hands-on with immigration issues since 1993, so
trust me: I know a major shift when I see one, and what I have seen
makes reform far more attainable this time around," Napolitano said.

Congress passed tough immigration enforcement legislation in 2006 that
called for building 700 miles of border fences and barriers. Immigration
critics have said the fence has not been built with double layers as the
law required and is not all fencing.

"How can they claim that enforcement is 'done' when there are more than
400 open miles of border with Mexico, hundreds of thousands of criminal
and fugitive aliens and millions of illegal immigrants taking American
jobs?" said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the House
Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration and border issues.

Napolitano said the immigration and border security improvements are
not enough. "The laws themselves need to be reformed," she said.

Obama has repeatedly said immigration reform is a priority, although it
has been pushed further down the list as he has taken on the economy and
health care reform.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has said he would introduce legislation
by early next year. New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, who heads the Senate
Democrats' campaign arm, has said immigration reform must be done by
March or it won't be taken up until after the 2010 elections.

It was good to see so many legal American citizens rally for the survival of our nation and our democracy.  It is time we took back our country from a Congress and administration that wants to spend too much money and have the federal government control everything we do as American citizens. It is time to set limits on government and term limits for the US Congress. 

Tens of thousands of conservative "tea party" protesters brought their angry grass-roots movement to the steps of the Capitol on Saturday in a muscular political demonstration against big government spending, budget deficits, taxes and President Obama's sweeping health care plan.

In a patriotic, flag-waving "March on Washington" that conservative leaders said was a newly energized political movement determined to stop the Obama administration's tax-and-spending programs, the protesters stretched for blocks up Pennsylvania Avenue to a massive rally on the West Lawn of the Capitol, chanting, "USA," "Enough, Enough" and "We the people."

This Tea Pary Rally reminds us of the famous Boston Tea Party and the effects that revolt had on our American way of life.

Leaders of the rally said that it drew "tea party" conservatives from every state in the country who had staged hundreds of local tax-day rallies across the country on April 15 to protest the $1.5 trillion deficit, record-breaking spending bills and what they see as the government's increasing encroachment on their freedoms.

One of the rally's speakers, Georgia Rep. Tom Price, chairman of the conservative House Republican Study Committee, said the protest rally was a declaration by "a new generation of patriots to carry that torch of liberty" to "take our country back."  Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina called for a return to "constitutional government" and said "it was time that the president started listening to us."

But most of the speakers were local grass-roots tea party activists like coal miner Greg Harrell, who said that lawmakers who ignored the tea party movement's appeals for smaller, more limited government would be thrown out of office by the voters. "We will find you, and we will fire you," Mr. Harrell warned.

A major focus of the protesters and some of the speakers was the president's $1 trillion health care reform plan. Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York, who has been a sharp critic of the plan, carried a copy of the 1,000-plus page House health care bill to the podium and said that Mr. Obama's statement that it would not force people to drop their health care plans was "untrue."

"You'll have to change to what the government has, and if you won't change to what the government wants you to join, you will be fined thousands of dollars," Ms. McCaughey said. "No deal. No deal." The crowd chanted back, "No deal."

Many of the protesters said they had not been politically active before but decided to come to the rally because they felt that government spending was out of control and that proposals pending in Congress, like the health plan that is being drawn up by the Democrats, would rob them of their freedom of choice and burden their children with trillions of dollars in debt. 

These protesters are not like the union and Acorn paid (at tax payer expense) protesters who do it for the money.  These brave American citizens want to save the US from socialism and a dominant federal government.  God bless the USA!!!

Below is an article in the Washington Times on how the ACLU and Open-Border Mexican groups target American citizens who try to protect their property against illegal immigrants.  The US Department of Justice and Homeland Security are not protecting Americans against the invasion of millions of illegals.  Why? 


16 illegals sue Arizona rancher

Jerry Seper (Contact)

An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home.

His Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz., is known by federal and county law enforcement authorities as "the avenue of choice" for immigrants seeking to enter the United States illegally.

Trial continues Monday in the federal lawsuit, which seeks $32 million in actual and punitive damages for civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other crimes. Also named are Mr. Barnett's wife, Barbara, his brother, Donald, and Larry Dever, sheriff in Cochise County, Ariz., where the Barnetts live. The civil trial is expected to continue until Friday.

The lawsuit is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in a dry wash on the 22,000-acre ranch, when he approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog.

Attorneys for the immigrants - five women and 11 men who were trying to cross illegally into the United States - have accused Mr. Barnett of holding the group captive at gunpoint, threatening to turn his dog loose on them and saying he would shoot anyone who tried to escape.

The immigrants are represented at trial by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), which also charged that Sheriff Dever did nothing to prevent Mr. Barnett from holding their clients at "gunpoint, yelling obscenities at them and kicking one of the women."

In the lawsuit, MALDEF said Mr. Barnett approached the group as the immigrants moved through his property, and that he was carrying a pistol and threatening them in English and Spanish. At one point, it said, Mr. Barnett's dog barked at several of the women and he yelled at them in Spanish, "My dog is hungry and he's hungry for buttocks."

The lawsuit said he then called his wife and two Border Patrol agents arrived at the site. It also said Mr. Barnett acknowledged that he had turned over 12,000 illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol since 1998.

In March, U.S. District Judge John Roll rejected a motion by Mr. Barnett to have the charges dropped, ruling there was sufficient evidence to allow the matter to be presented to a jury. Mr. Barnett's attorney, David Hardy, had argued that illegal immigrants did not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.

Mr. Barnett told The Washington Times in a 2002 interview that he began rounding up illegal immigrants after they started to vandalize his property, northeast of Douglas along Arizona Highway 80. He said the immigrants tore up water pumps, killed calves, destroyed fences and gates, stole trucks and broke into his home.
