Today our country is in the midst of a battle for survival. We face a well armed and well funded terror army, Islamic State, which has grown to 31,500 fighters, including 2,000 from Western nations. In his recent national address, President Obama outlined a more aggressive approach to attack the terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately, battling the terrorists in the Middle East is not enough. Due to our open border, there is little doubt the terrorists have infiltrated this nation.

While the President talks tough about bombing Islamic State terrorists, he will not address the border crisis. Because of this inaction, Texas Governor Rick Perry has been forced to send his National Guard troops to border locations.

Sadly, this is too little, too late. There is no fence across most of the border region, in violation of the law. Our safety is being c*********d as we have no idea what drugs, weapons or bombs are entering the United States.

Filmmaker James O’Keefe exposed how ridiculously easy it is to cross the Southern border even dressed as Osama Bin Laden. He crossed the Northern border carrying a bag marked “ricin.” No one stopped him as his traveled to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio and entered the building with a Duffel bag that could have been filled with biological weapons.

Terrorists are not stupid, they know we are vulnerable; however, due to politics the President and the Democrats will not enforce our current laws to protect this nation.

As the administration refuses to secure the border, it prepares to reward those who illegally crossed the border. In November, the President will grant amnesty to 6 million i*****l a***ns, who will receive work permits, Social Security cards and photo Id’s. This action will be popular with millions of Hispanic v**ers who will v**e Democratic in greater numbers. Most of the newly minted Americans will join them in the Democratic Party, once their pathway to citizenship is complete.

The plan is to remake America into a one party country with Democrats unbeatable in national e******ns. If Texas is turned “blue” and becomes a Democratic state, it will become impossible for Republicans to win the presidency.

The Republican Congress has passed legislation to stop amnesty, but, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will not allow a v**e. He wants to shield Democrats like Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu from a choice of whether to side with her party or her constituents.

Reid wants the President to act because it will help Democrats. In fact, he hopes the President goes “Real Big” when he bestows amnesty. Reid does not care that Obama will be breaking the law when he awards amnesty to lawbreakers.

The last time millions of i*****l a***ns were granted amnesty was in 1986, when Congress passed legislation and it was signed by the President. This time, Obama cannot get such legislation through the House, so he will act on his own, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

When this is done, our country will be forever changed. The checks and balances between the branches of government will be destroyed as the President will be acting with dictatorial power.

In response, Congress should impeach Obama or remove funding so amnesty cannot be implemented by the government. The problem is that the House is led by the feckless John Boehner who will not challenge the President. The Senate will not act because it has a Democratic majority, unless that changes in November.

It is dangerous time for America. The threats at home and abroad are very serious, but we are being led by individuals who place politics ahead of national security, to the peril of every American. By: Jeff Crouere

I'm not the "sharpest tack" nor the "brightest penny", I will send articles that have gotten my attention, you'll recognize them from my dreville by the content of the message... Don D. ;-)

Dear Comrade LoonIT,

Come on, Loon.

I don’t just complain, although I will admit that I’m very good at complaining.

I also agitate, exasperate, bother, annoy, traumatize, enrage and vituperate. Especially vituperate. That’s my favorite.

And that’s just what I do to Republicans.

But why not complain? The economy still sucks despite unprecedented liberal spending. The banking system and healthcare systems are more broken than ever before because of unprecedented liberal interference. And the country is definitely less secure than when Obama took office, despite average Americans being asked to surrender their civil liberties to help promote his warped agenda.

Please tell us one major policy initiative of Obama’s that has worked for the benefit of ordinary Americans.

Taxes, higher.

Healthcare costs, higher.

Fuel costs, higher.

Wages, worse.

Inflation? Yep.

Housing, still broken.

If you thought the problem under Bush was that the rich were getting rich while the poor were getting poorer, then you must really have a problem with the progress made under Obama.

Because the problem isn’t just that prices and taxes are going up but wages on the low end are remaining stagnant.

From the Huffington Post in 2012:

In other words, ine******y has been even more pronounced under Obama than it was under George W. Bush.

This news may not come as a shock if you're one of the many Americans who lost their job during the recession and couldn't find another that paid as well. It also might not surprise you if you're one of the 46 million people living in poverty -- a record number, as it happens -- or among the millions of Americans who can get by week to week, but would be ruined by a single financial emergency.

Investor’s Business Daily, noting the same research as HuffPos, said just last year that “[i]t's worth underscoring that the growing income gap under Obama isn't the result of the rich getting fabulously richer. Nor is it any sort of indictment of "trickle down" economics. Instead, it is the direct result of Obama's historically weak economic recovery, which has left the rest of the country falling behind while the wealthy have managed to make gains.”

Obama would like people to think that income is a function of the federal minimum wage. Then why didn’t Obama just magically raise it in 2009 and 2010 when he controlled both Houses of Congress? Then all he would have had to do was ride the wave of prosperity into the sunset.

Why didn’t the Huffington Post blame the minimum wage in 2012 for income ine******y, so called?

I’ll tell you why: Because just like on immigration, if Democrats enacted anything on the minimum wage then they’d have to live with the consequences. They got burned on Obamacare already. How bad would it be if they had done of the other stupid things they promise, like immigration, cap and trade or minimum wage?

These are ideas that like Obamacare just don't work.
It’s hard to promise a chicken in every pot, when you don’t have the chicken and the only pot you have is made for rolling.

Let’s face it: Your “All you do is complain” argument is the last refuge of someone who really has no other argument to go on.

I’d welcome an Elizabeth Warren run for president. Name recognition may make Hillary the favorite, but Warren is the most likely Democrat to beat her—again.

Think of it this way: Yes, she lied about being an Indian; yes, she’s a Marxist pinko; yes, she panders to the worst of our fears; yes, she’s an academic hypocrite and fraud.

But she’s a big improvement over Obama and Hillary.

I think Warren will be the nominee from the Democrats for president in 2016.

If she wins we could name the NFL football team the Washington Warrens, although I'd be blamed by a lot people named Warren whose feelings could get hurt. Imagine the horror of having a cartoon Warren on the side of every helmet?

Well maybe not Marx but at least Mother Jones. My upset pick in the NFL tomorrow is Miami over New England.- What if Chevy Volts were Mortgages?

Dear Comrade Doctor,

Congrats on the upset pick. Hope you bet on that in Vegas. I was there last weekend. I can’t remember what the line was for the Dolphins to win their division but I seem to remember it wasn’t that good for them.

Otherwise, yes, you are always acting the fool.

Lincoln said that labor was prior to, thus the superior of capital. So what?

He was a Marxist?

Hardly.

Here are few quotes that distinguish Lincoln from Obama (and Marx):

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."

"I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else."

"No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive."

"The prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land, for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This, say its advocates, is free labor---the just and generous, and prosperous system, which opens the way for all---gives hope to all, and energy, and progress, and improvement of condition to all."

Dear Comrade Claus,

Great idea!

You figure out how to sign me up to fight under the command of someone who isn’t an apologist for Islamic extremists and I’ll go.

But you have to go with me.

Obama to ISIS: "If you like your terror army, you can keep your terror army"

Dear Comrade Y,

I don’t consider you a conservative, so what you have to say about Bush’s conservative credentials isn’t just questionable, but irrelevant.

You don’t even know what a neocon is.

Look, I’m tired of people just beating up on the intelligence community, including the CIA, especially when they know so little apparently what the intel community has done for the country.

The West won the Cold War largely on the backs of an intelligence community that was at war for 50 years. That they kept us out of World War III is to their credit.

But yet you niggle about the results, like any liberal would.

You know why Comrade Claus above hasn’t had to fight in the Middle East? Because people who I know personally both in the military, but even more importantly in the intelligence community, who have done all the fighting for him.

They ask neither for your permission or your thanks.

But get the hell off their back.

ericynot1 wrote: "Then why is it Bush's fault all the time?" It's not. But 75% of our current problems in the ME can be directly attributed to him. - Obama to ISIS: "If you like your terror army, you can keep your terror army"

Dear Comrade Y—again,

All of the problems of the Middle East belong in the Middle East amongst a savage people trapped in the fourth century.

That you’d blame George Bush for the 75 percent of the entire Middle East shows what problems with logic liberals like you have.

You’d blame a rash from poison ivy on the scratching a person does rather than the toxins in the plant.

We can disagree about how to treat the problem without assigning inordinate blame to one single individual.

Except of course in the case of Barack Hussein Obama. We all know that he is 100 percent to blame for the situation in the Middle East right now.

Cam25 wrote: Yes, let's talk about the real world, not the world that exists only in the minds of conservatives. Private schools do quite well because they get to select their student body. Public schools do not. If anyone deserves responsibility for the sad state of our schools, it is clearly those who have supported tax-cut mania over the past several decades. School spending doesn't matter? Well then why do wealthy people do everything possible to get their children into the best funded schools? Now, as for this rest-of-the-world that you seem to have caught wind of - can you name a single other country who provides quality education to all by use of vouchers? It's the same number of countries where access to health care is available to all from the free market - zero. So if you if you want to present yourself as a global authority on education, at least offer one concrete example of where your theories work. - Obama Demands Minimum Wage While Denying Minimum Education

Dear Comrade 25,

Sweden, i***t. I didn’t even have to look that up.

While not using vouchers, the public money goes along with the students to private schools in Sweden.

Your parody of rich people who have the best-funded public education systems is flawed as well. There are more poor people than rich people. Everyone gets one v**e, ergo…

In Denver County Colorado, on average a school district to which rich people do not flee got $6,900 per pupil in 2012. Douglas County Colorado, a school district that enjoys the highest per capita income in the state, got $6,200 per pupil from the state.

The rich people in Douglas County, in short, subsidize the failing schools in Denver.

If you are going to preach about the real world, at least know about the world, really.

Freakin’ progressives. They get in the way of progress by how much they pretend to know.

That’s it for this week,

V/r,

John Ransom :-) :-) :-)

Organized rescue efforts began immediately—within three minutes of the bombing—and continued for weeks. Unit maintenance personnel were not billeted in the BLT building, and they rounded up pry bars, torches, jacks and other equipment from unit vehicles and maintenance shops and began rescue operations. Meanwhile, combat engineers and truck drivers began using their organic assets, i.e., trucks and engineering equipment, to help with the rescue operations. 24th MAU medical personnel, Navy dentists LT Gil Bigelow and LT Jim Ware, established two aid stations to triage and treat casualties. Medevac helicopters, CH-46s from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron (HMM) 162, were airborne by 6:45 AM. U.S. Navy medical personnel from nearby vessels of the U.S. Sixth Fleet went ashore to assist with treatment and medical evacuation of the injured, as did sailors and shipboard Marines who volunteered to assist with the rescue effort. Lebanese, Italian, British, and even French troops, who had suffered their own loss, provided assistance.

While the rescuers were at times hindered by hostile sniper and artillery fire, several Marine survivors were pulled from the rubble at the BLT 1/8 bomb site and airlifted by helicopter to the USS Iwo Jima.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan called the attack a "despicable act" and said he would keep a military force in Lebanon. U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, said there would be no change in the U.S.'s Lebanon policy. French President François Mitterrand and other French dignitaries visited both the French and American bomb sites and he did declare "We will stay."

In retaliation for the attacks, France and America launched an airstrike in the Bekaa Valley against alleged Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) positions. President Reagan assembled his national security team and planned to target the Sheik Abdullah barracks in Baalbek, Lebanon, which housed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) believed to be training Hezbollah militants. A joint American-French air assault on the camp where the bombing was planned was also approved by Reagan.

Col Geraghty requested and received reinforcements to replace his unit losses. BLT 2/6, the Division Marine Air Alert Battalion stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC, and commanded by LtCol Edwin C. Kelley, was dispatched and flown into Beirut by four C-141s in less than 36 hours after the bombing.

That's enough...yeah he tucked his tail between his legs and hauled ass....with an attack

GEEZ----Ronnie doesn't run..
Remember-- Operation El Dorado Canyon

Ronald Reagan knew how to deal with the likes of terrorist. Reagan went after Moammar Gaddafi, the Muslim terrorist leader and financier of several terrorist training camps in northern Africa? Reagan bombed his Palace. He and his muslim terrorist had kiiled several hundred people in West Berlin and k**led 270 more when he blew up Pan Am 103.

It scared Gaddafi so much we didn't hear from Gaddafi for 25 years until your muslim king went to him, shook his hand, and then hugged him when Obama was on his famous apology tour to apologize to the muslim people for the muslim terrorist that America had k**led.

We should have shot him right there.

President Reagan would have been all over these terrorist. He would have rescued the 4 brave American Heros that were in B******i if it were possible and then he would made B******i sand parking lot.

Obama is a muslim. He went to a muslim school from the age of 5 years olds to 12 years old. He speaks Arabic fluently in different dialects. From several videos he does not recite the Pledge Allegiance to America. When the Anthem is played he does not put his right hand over his heart like an American president is supposed to. He supports muslims. We know he has given The Muslim Terrorist Brotherhood $1.5 billion that we know of. Maybe more.

Obama would not make a good size pimple on Ronnie's old ass.

robert66-I have to disagree-it does matter what the president does. When Bush went into Iraq he was accused of going it alone . The action was approved by congress and he had some 40 countries allied with the USA. Conversely, Obama is struggling to get 8 or 9 countries to go along in helping to defeat ISIS but since he has emphatically stated that there would not be any US COMBAT BOOTS on the ground the other countries are loathe to commit any of their troops. Obama has been so wishy washy in the past that heads of States do not trust him. They are afraid he will get them involved and then pull out leaving them high and dry, bearing the brunt of ISIS and unable to defeat them. Then we have mixed messages coming from the president and his Secretary of State- they are not ISLAM and IT IS NOT WAR. That kind of rhetoric does not lend itself to eng****ring confidence in the administration's so called plan. ISIS declared war on us and the UK by beheading our citizens. They are Islamist terrorists even though neither Obama nor Kerry can say those two words-ISLAMIST TERRORISTS. The question is, do we eliminate them in their backyard or do we wait until they blow up some of our people in our backyard ? Most Americans do not want war as it is costly in lives, injuries and fiscally. However, sometimes it is essential that we be pro-active as opposed to re-active. The American people have to be convinced that eliminating ISIS is in their best interest in order for them to support military action. The limited plan proposed by the administration will not do the job. To many of our people, Iraq and Syria are far away and do not pose a direct threat to them. What is to prevent ISIS from coming into the USA ? You mentioned the Korean war, and I remember it well. That conflict and Vietnam were two wars that the USA could have won militarily but politics got in the way. Now we are facing ISIS and once again politics is in the way. Obama wants pin pricks until after the Nov e******n so that democrats do not have to v**e for war even though we are already embroiled in exactly that. Meanwhile ISIS has grown to over 31,000 and by the time Obama acts they will have grown to a much larger number. So, what the president does or does not do will determine the fate of the country. According to the polls, most Americans feel the president is derelict in the performance of his duties. Good Luck America !!!

Francis: World's Many Conflicts Amount to WW III
Newsmax - Saturday, 13 Sep 2014


Pope Francis said on Saturday the spate of conflicts around the globe today were effectively a "piecemeal" Third World War, condemning the arms trade and "plotters of terrorism" sowing death and destruction.
"Humanity needs to weep and this is the time to weep," Francis said in the homily of a Mass during a visit to Italy's largest war memorial, a large, F*****t-era monument where more than 100,000 soldiers who died in World War One are buried.

The pope began his brief visit to northern Italy by first praying in a nearby, separate cemetery for some 15,000 soldiers from five nations of the Austro-Hungarian empire which were on the losing side of the Great War that broke out 100 years ago.

"War is madness," he said in his homily before the massive, sloping granite memorial, made of 22 steps on the side of hill with three crosses at the top.

"Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction," he said.

In the past few months, Francis has made repeated appeals for an end to conflicts in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Gaza and parts of Africa.

"War is irrational; its only plan is to bring destruction: it seeks to grow by destroying," he said. "Greed, intolerance, the lust for power. These motives underlie the decision to go to war and they are too often justified by an ideology ...," he said.

Last month the pope, who has often condemned the concept of war in God's name, said it would be legitimate for the international community to use force to stop "unjust aggression" by Islamic State militants who have k**led or displaced thousands of people in Iraq and Syria, many of them Christians.

In his homily, read at a sombre service to thousands of people braving the rain and which included the hauntingly funereal sound of a solitary bugle, Francis condemned "plotters of terrorism" but did not elaborate.
