Conservative Common Man

On the eve of “Big Brother” Barry’s acceptance speech (or Greek tragedy),his D.C. based Ministry Of Truth (The Washington Post) found time to once again lament the plight of illegal aliens and their criminal employers. I suppose it is in the spirit of unity inspired by their Communist candidate that The Post is now on the side of business, the evil most closely associated with the Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama’s (and Uncle Karl’s) most hated entity, capitalism! “Hope” for “change” does exist! If the D.C. rag can find it in its heart to take the side of the capitalist pigs, anything is possible! Maybe St. Barack can power all our cars without any sort of fuel.

Of course the only reason D.C. ministry would defend a business is if it furthered one of the rag’s favorite issues, in this case, the defense of illegal immigration. The article headline warns, “Businesses Cite a Catch-22 After Miss. Immigration Raid.”

Major U.S. employers assailed the expanding crackdown, saying it creates a Catch-22. If businesses fail to enroll in E-Verify, they run the risk of a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, business groups led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said. But if they sign up, they face added costs, labor disruptions and discrimination complaints — as well as the risk that flaws in the program won’t stop all illegal hiring or prevent government raids, they said.

“I think it’s a mistake on the part of a company to think that simply because they [enroll] that they are going to be protected from any kind of government audit or raid,” said Myles Gladstone, vice president of Miller & Long, of Bethesda, a major construction firm based in the Washington area.

Oh the horror, added costs! I wonder if the business that just had 600 illegal employees removed face any added costs now. I heard a report that a tip by a union rep or member led to the raid of Howard Industries and that workers cheered as the illegals were removed. How does that report gel with the notion that illegals are needed to do the jobs Americans won’t do?

The second part of the excerpt above is actually funny. How can a business owner be surprised that enrolling in a program is not enough, that it it might be necessary to actually meet the requirements? I suggest that the people Mr. Gladstone is referring to could be classified as morons, which would provide further explanation of WaPo taking their side.

In its only comment on the raid, Howard Industries released a statement saying: “Howard Industries runs every check allowed to ascertain the immigration status of all applicants for jobs. It is company policy that it hires only U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.”

Well as long as Howard states that it is their policy to follow the law, it is good enough for The Washington Post and should be good enough for the rest of us. I would like to suggest to Howard Industries and other criminal enterprises that they actually follow their policies or run the risk of being defended by The Washington Post, a low point for any decent institution.

As a resident of Illinois, I realize that contacting my U.S. Senators regarding legislation is a fruitless exercise. Being supposedly represented by the dishonorable Dick Durbin and Bill Ayers ‘ buddy Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama, I know that any plea for a common sense approach will fall on deaf ears. I still feel an obligation to make the effort, for even though the political climate of our state is clouded by Chicago corruption, we cannot submit!

I recently wrote to the Socialist Senators to ask them support S. 3361 “The Drug Free Families Act” which would:

require that welfare recipients undergo drug testing to determine their eligibility to receive, or continue to receive, benefits. Vitter’s bill would require that states forfeit Temporary Assistance to Needy Families funding unless they implement a drug testing and treatment program for TANF recipients.

The candidate for Obammunism can’t be bothered with such petty things as his job, but his partner in crime responded. Here is the dishonorable Senator Durbin’s response:

Thank you for contacting me about random drug testing of individuals receiving public benefits. I appreciate hearing from you.

I share your underlying concern about the need to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government assistance programs. Public assistance programs provide critical help for those who are often facing the “food, rent, or medicine” dilemma. Understandably, taxpayers want to see their tax dollars used effectively. Fraud and abuse are serious problems that not only waste money but divert funds from the truly needy.

Random drug testing of welfare recipients is not an available option. In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Chandler v. Miller that drug testing imposed by law and enforced by government officials constitutes a “search” under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Fourth Amendment requires that all searches be reasonable - based either on individualized suspicion of wrongdoing or on “special needs.” These special needs must go beyond simple crime detection and involve important governmental interests such as jeopardy to public safety.

Based on this language, lower federal courts have ruled that random drug testing may not be required as a condition of receiving government assistance when that program is not designed to achieve public safety. A Michigan law requiring welfare applicants to undergo random drug testing was struck down in 2000 as a violation of the applicants’ Constitutional rights.

Congress must remain vigilant in ensuring that our civil liberties are preserved, even as we try to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government benefit programs. I will keep your concerns in mind as Congress pursues these goals.

Thank you again for your message. Please feel free to remain in touch.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Durbin

United States Senator

I was not at all surprised to read that this miserable excuse for a senator is more concerned about protecting the civil rights of drug addicts that sponge off taxpayers than the rights of those productive people that actually pay his salary and support the drug using parasites. This is a symptom of the disease that is liberalism. Of course the Marxist politicians will not support drug testing for welfare recipients, they need the dependents to keep them in power!

It is assumed that Dick Durbin’s Senate seat is safe, but an alert Illinois electorate could turn the tables on this waste of tax dollars and make a statement against the leftward march in our government. We can elect Steve Sauerberg to The United States Senate if enough people will pay attention and vote against the Chicago syndicate!

If you are a citizen of Illinois I implore you to help reclaim the state and our government from the clutches of the incompetent!

Cros-post from: Malignant Liberal Idiocy

As the cable news channels show gripping footage of Democrat vice presidential pick Joe Biden’s Delaware home, the Obammunists know they have found the perfect running mate. Michelle’s husband wants to be complimented as well as complemented by his future third in command. I think this pick was determined in February of 2007 when Joe Biden offered his evaluation of “The One.” From cnn.com:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

That is four compliments in one sentence, which is obviously a compliment to sentence ratio that “Big Brother” Barry appreciates.

The Obammunists must also appreciate Senator Joe “7-11″ Biden’s willingness to sacrifice and accept a position he doesn’t want, disciple to Michelle’s Messiah. On “Meet The Press” June 22, 2008 , Biden expressed his desire to NOT be asked to be the running mate:

SEN. BIDEN:  Unlike most other people, I’m being straight with you.  If asked, I will do it.  I’ve made it clear I do not want to be asked.

MR. WILLIAMS:  Do not want to be asked.  But if asked, the answer, of course, would be yes.

SEN. BIDEN:  Of course it would, because the–if the president–if the presidential nominee thought I could help him win, am I going to say to the first African-American candidate about to make history in the world that, “No, I will not help you out like you want me to”?  Of course, I’m–I’ll say yes.

The Obama campaign could not pass up someone that would so selflessly accept the position of third banana, even though he didn’t want to be asked. The Delaware senator further sealed the deal on “Meet The Press” that day by again injecting race into the race, which The libiots fully intend to make about race.

In a time when the liberal media should be rejoicing in their impending presidential victory (regardless of which sub-par candidate wins) or focusing on their primary task of campaigning for “Big Brother” Barry Obama, they still get distracted by the perceived unjust treatment of lawbreakers. Both presidential candidates are open-borders, no sovereignty type guys, but apparently the lib media doesn’t think that is good enough. You see, illegal aliens are being caught currently and their sad tales must be told. Imagine the horror that the most recently detained illegals faced, they could not attend the wedding reception for Ellen and “Ally McBeal’s” Nell (the other newsworthy garbage in The San Francisco Chronicle.) Actually, most of the illegals in Iowa probably wouldn’t have made the trip out of “the shadows” to attend the gay (that means happy, right?) couple’s nuptials.

The AP article in the San Francisco Chronicle is heart-wrenchingly headlined, “Small town Iowa struggles after immigration raid.” A gut response might be, “so what?” There is no valid reason for a town to struggle because of an immigration raid. Those that claim otherwise conveniently ignore the most basic fact, illegal is illegal. If there are jobs to be done, they can be done by people that are here “legally”, which means those without the “il” as a prefix to their status. Perhaps the business owners should pay higher wages and subsequently charge more, or perform the tasks themselves… oh shoot, I used common sense there. Forgive me, it is a bad habit of mine.

There is no such thing as a “job (that must be done) that Americans won’t do,” but that doesn’t matter to the liberal AP writer. Here is an excerpt from the tear-jerking assault on enforcement of the law:

For years, even decades, these Mexican and Guatemalan families had called Postville home. Here, in a place first settled by German and Norwegian Lutherans and Irish Catholics more than 150 years ago, Hispanic immigrants were raising children, buying houses, building businesses.

Like the Hasidic Jews who came to the town in 1987 to open the meatpacking plant, and the Eastern Europeans who made up the first band of workers there, the influx of Guatemalans and Mexicans had both buffeted and bolstered this quiet community — until it reached a new cultural equilibrium.

In time, the newcomers became part of the fabric of Postville, which proudly bills itself as “Hometown to the World.” Now, they were clustered in hiding or being herded away in handcuffs by immigration agents.

How do you say “illegal” in Spanish? Apparently the liberals in the media (and the liberal presidential nominees of both major parties) don’t understand the meaning of the English word. Of course, sob stories like this shy away from using the word “illegal” in order to avoid risking reality intruding upon their tales.

What does it say about the liberal media that they wage such a war on behalf of illegal and immoral activities? One thing it says is that Barack Obama is the perfect recipient of their support and free campaign advertising (they call them articles and columns.) I can’t imagine the umbrage these “news” outlets would display if it was discovered that some illegal alien was denied taxpayer funded transportation to an abortion mill (they call them health care facilities) for a taxpayer funded abortion. We would surely and ironically be decried as a racist society for not advancing Margaret Sanger’s goal of eugenics.

I hope the citizens of this great nation that expect our sovereignty to be respected are paying attention. The next president’s term will be difficult for those of us in this category. Both candidates are opposed to the right side of the ilegal immigration and sovereignty issue, so we will have to be vigilant and vocal. We must not allow the open border chief executive and his accomplices in the media to further facilitate the invasion!

I received the following letter from a May 2008 graduate of The University of Illinois and was asked to post it. I am posting it because I think the subject is interesting and deserves scrutiny:

You host/allow the Muslim Student Association. According to it’s website, (msauiuc.org), it openly and proudly connects to national organizations which have, without doubt, been linked with support of terrorism against the US. What kind? Either financial, and/or ideological (supporting Islamic “answers” that conflict with simple civic values and the Constitution. Sadly, I doubt they conflict with what’s allowed within the UIUC).

These groups include, at the very least: CAIR, ISNA, MSA national, Al-Islam, SunniPath, IslamQA. Upon further request, I will provide examples to this effect ASAP. I will not only refuse donations to my alma mater, but I will likely encourage other alumni to do likewise unless you drastically change your relationship with the Islamic community. not “radical islamic”. not “extremist”. Islamic is all of the above no less than “Nazi-esque” or “Racist”, and to speak of either of those in terms of “moderation” is idiotic.

Ditto. I’d like to express my dissatisfaction with your allowance of these groups on campus, and disgust with having been preached to by your University that you are some sort of Public Ivy or otherwise a paragon of all that is good and civilized.

If you’re going to get into the “Islam is Peace” argument, save it. Been there many times, and I have yet to lose with regards to my claim to the contrary. Incidentally, ask them how they feel about gay rights, the state of Israel (you know, that sole American ally and western-mentality country in the Middle East); and in relation to Israel, why they would advocate a 1967 border split between it and “Palestine” when during and prior to 1967, Muslims were not content with said borders and intended to exterminate Israeli inhabitants to the last.

Ask them why Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” remains a perrennial favorite among Turks. The Turks being the most moderate and Westernized of the Islamic world. This is where they drink, and shave, and produce the incredibly-liberal-and-risque soap “Noor” (translated: “Light”. Name of the heroine).

Ask them why between terrorist attacks such as 9/11, 7/7, Beslan and countless others on one hand; and trivial cartoons and Rushdie honorings on the other, Muslims around the world took the latter to be “against Islam” on any large scale.

Ask them why revulsion against the likes of Al-Queda took hold in Islamic countries only after they started killing other Muslims, but not when they were intent on killing only Americans or other infidels (non-muslims).

Ask them what the following terms mean: jizya, dhimmi, taqqiyah, kuffar, and wherefrom they derive (hint: from their tolerant, honest, scientific religious teachings).

Ask them: Hypothetically speaking, on what basis should a people whose religion is openly intolerant be tolerated in a democratic society.

Ask them why other minorities who come to the West, such as Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, East Asians, Latinos, Africans, etc… all face similar racial discrimination, stereotype projections, language barriers, culture shocks, and so on, and yet none are investigated for large-scale covert terrorist support on a regular basis.

Ask them what the following common arabic/Islamic phrase refers to: “First on Saturday, then on Sunday”.

Ask them why Lebanon was considered to be a victim of aggression by Israel about 20-30 years ago when Israel was there to protect Christian Lebanese from Muslim marauders slaughtering “non-believers” without any cause other than their non-Islamic beliefs.

Ask them why Muslims around the world insisted 9/11 was the work of Bush/Jews/Illuminati and had nothing to do with Muslims, and yet why those same Muslims insist it was a great victory for them and their religion.

Referring back to claims of “scientific” and the like: Ask them whether Islam is in accordance with reason and science and such. When they invariably say yes, ask them whether or not it’s standard Islamic doctrine and allegedly God’s Immaculate Truth that the man they take to be their prophet literally flew into the sky to heaven. On a horse.

LITERALLY. Not to be taken as a metaphor for reaching any kind of spiritual enlightenment, prayer-induced rapture, or deep meditative state of mind. Nothing like that. But whether he flew there physically and no less than to the extent he could be tracked by radar, had it existed at the time.

What does all this lead to?

I respectfully request that you reassess your relationship with any and all things Islamic. Got the impression that alumni have a voice of sorts (at least if only proportional to their contributions), and I’d like to put that into effect with regard to your treatment of this “religion” (and I use the term loosely).
