Pete Stark (D-CA), Congressman since 1972/73, refuses to be honest about the border war

The border is secure, and yet Phoenix, Arizona is the 2nd largest kidnapping capital of the world.  An area 80 miles in has been closed off because of the cartel violence, severed heads are literally rolling, and this guy is mocking the people he’s supposed to represent.  Stark has also said in the past that George W. Bush sent our troops to war to get their heads blown off for his amusement.  How many people have you killed today, to a minuteman.  Zero deaths on record for the group of individuals who try to do what the federal government refuses to do—and they don’t want to do it.
The U.S. President takes an international, anti-colonial, etc. approach: arm the Mexican army.  Sorry, but the Mexican army has never stood a chance to the drug cartels.
The #1 kidnapping capital of the world has gone from Bogotá to Mexico City.

The election in Tamaulitas, Mexico will go on, even though one of the gubernatorial candidates was murdered over drug cartel conflict.  Say hello to our future (if we do nothing).

In the June 28th issue of Time, Evangelical zeal and America’s appetite for meth fuels La Familia Michoacana, a provincial Mexican gang that has decapitated at least 20 people in the stronghold of Apatzingán.
It’s gotten to the point that we’ve had to consult our bishop about whether there’s a proper way to say funeral Masses for heads without bodies, says Andrés Larios, a local Apatzingán Roman Catholic priest.
Unlike what you see in Breaking Bad, its members have produced the clearest crystals I have ever seen, says Atlanta DEA head Rodney Benson.
With billions of dollars laundered, officials say the gang controls maybe 30% of the state’s formal commerce, also threatening what it doesn’t own.  Other cartels just pay off the political structure in order to be able to do their business.  La Familia is making itself the political structure, says a top Michoacán investigator that does not want to be identified.
Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s government is offering $2.5 million for the capture of La Familia head Nazario Moreno—a.k.a. El Más Loco, a dealer with hitman experience, and a “narco-mission from God to protect our Michoacán,” dismissing the notion of “turning the other cheek.”
With one journalist abducted and murdered in April, at least five reporting on the violence have come to “a sticky end.”

Revisionism is a Marxist term (look it up)

Related to “social realism,” the elaborate means to justify socialism through changing the art culture, revisionism is the alteration of history.  Revisionism started in 1902, but kicked off in the United States by the 1920s (after Woodrow Wilson).  And by the 1930s, textbooks started taking quotes from discredited books without critical mention of error.

Morgan Freeman’s Through the Wormhole

The Big Bang, and all of the strange theories that I’ve never heard of.
It all started when the earliest telescopes that could cover the globe gave a consistent stray signal.  No matter what the scientists did, they got the same background radiation all over; it had to mean that something great, something cosmic happened in the distant past.
One theory of origin is that this universe came from a parallel one.  Another, parallel universes eventually bump into each other.

Rick Barber beats the buzz saw (but the “left” will say they won)

On Hardball, Chris Mathews puts words in Rick Barber’s mouth, trying to trip him up on things like specifics on sales taxes.  Ultimately, Mathews loses the stupid game he started, but doesn’t seem to regret anything—like Ed Schultz, we’re the good guys.

More deliberate misunderstanding expressed in the distract-athon: Beck is still not able to get a permit for 8.28 (even though Freedom To Assemble is part of the First Amendment).  Is he trying to desecrate MLK’s I Have A Dream speech?  At least Olbermann and Bill Press are throwing the cruelty out there for people to see: Olbie reads, at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and Press responds, on the steps?  That must be another misrepresentation by Beck.  But then again, most of the crap on MS-NBC comes from the blogosphere; ratings shall continue to drop as they drop the same, lame garbage.

Breaking boring at the Elena Kagan shoo-in hearings, Al Franken was caught dozing off, drawing a picture of what looked to be Jeff Sessions.
Lindsey Graham no longer supports Cap & Trade bill, tries to remove ‘progressive’ from his identity in the “confirmation hearing” to replace justice Paul Stevens with Kagan.
The fact that Kagan did not want to be identified as a progressive means that the name may change sooner rather than later; you will have to let the actions speak louder than words, such as the fact that she said that the banning of speech shouldn’t happen instead of it is flat-out unconstitutional).  It’s been two years since Hillary Clinton said, I prefer the word “progressive,” which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era, at the beginning of the 20th century.  I consider myself a Modern progressive.  The public has gained an awareness.
Legal Progressivism: in favor of case law over the static constitution; to consider the constitution “a living document,” instead of a charter of liberties based on self-evident truths.

Brad’s Foreign Influence shows how much of a conspiracy theory this stuff really isn’t.
Rembember this?  You Americans are so gullable.  No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find that you already have communism.  We won’t have to fight you.  We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.

Stocks are down today worldwide, especially for the Asian markets.
Paul Krugman says we are on the verge of another great depression... because we haven’t spent enough?  Similar to what happened during the 1930s.  In 1939, the guy who designed the New Deal said it doesn’t work, but F.D.R. refused to listen.
Then, in 1946, debt-to-GDP was 120%.  We were out of WWII, economists were predicting 14% unemployment, and the Krugman of the time was calling for spending.  Instead of the same new/old Keynesian model, we paid back the debts, rapidly grew the private sector.  We stopped a depression.

Robert C. Byrd dies at 92.  The longest member of the Senate (West Virginia) was a Cyclops in of the Ku Klux Klan, and according to his 2005 book, he never stopped sympathizing for the terrorist group.

Black Founding Fathers part II reveals something big...

Did you know that a major cause, if not the cause for the Revolutionary War was that some states/colonies enacted anti-slavery laws around 1773 and 1774?  King George, claiming total ownership, put his foot down, and our founders clarified their position: Individual liberty rules, not you.

Junk Shot Presidential Address

After the gulf, golf.  After an address that ran at 8PM EDT and lasted 18 min., confusion over the lax detail in plans.  President Obama paints the Gulf disaster as his 9/11, goes to war on polluters... repeating after Marxist “mentors” 14 years ago: white executives that don’t want to pay for inner-city children— something that Olbie says is taken out of context, surface talk above the ideological war that progressives believe in.  Joel Rogers should be proud... after manipulative.

You can’t change their minds, but the masks are coming off

The Blag Flag movement of anarchists blew up during the rise of communism in the late 1800s.
Things have gotten so far out of hand.  Some of the revolutionaries want a river of blood.  Irresponsible and greedy, the politicians think they can use them.  As the stakes get so high, once the revolutionaries feel like they’ve been lied to, it’ll be just like the Weather Underground; a literal blood bath.  Members of the Weather Underground calculated that 25 million people had to die for their plans, and didn’t mind.  Politicians will have targets on their backs, even the progressive President of the United States is in danger.  Keep playing around like this and European banker kidnappings will look like a game of paintball.

Unemployment: 9.7%.

Underemployment is at 16.6%; the pool is smaller due to 300K no longer looking.

431K jobs created, only 41K of them private sector.  That means taxes are paying for 94% of them.  This is sign of recovery.  94%?  That is a sign of death!  We have more people in the Census now that we have in the airlines.  Over 500K Census takers.  The game that this admin. is playing — what happens when they fire 600,000 people?  One claim about the numbers for the Census is that they are firing, then rehiring.  In top numbers for the private sector, only est. 557K work in utility.
In ten years, the Census grew by $10 billion.

The battle to come

It was necessary then, but it never really stopped.  How you were born, where you came from cannot be reason for rejection.  We appropriately discriminate based on criminal records.  But the problem with the outcome is that it listed groups specifically.  Color, creed, race, national origin.  There are still places where gays can be discriminated against.

How many have to die, and who keeps killing them?

Anti-semitism.  Coined by a socialist as a means of bringing down capitalism.  Conquer the Jew, and you conquer Capitalism, as the two go hand in hand.  That was the motive of Karl Marx, the ultimate self-hating Jew.

First, they come for the Jews is a literal statement.  Do you see it?  To destroy capitalism, the socialists go after the Jews.  The websites are there, and they are global and organized.  Economic turmoil -> Jew bankers, business, capitalism.  It is happening again as it would, tolerated and overlooked.
