America Rising: Upcoming Elections

In November 2008, millions of Americans voted for Barack Obama based on his promise of "HOPE" and "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN".  They put their sacred trust in, not only the President, but the Congress as well.  Little more than a year later, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL BETRAYED by an arrogant Administration and Congress hellbent on enacting their agenda, despite the thunderous outcries of the people.  And the people are truly scared about our future.  The video, below (author unknown), is a powerful  review of the past year with President Obama and Congress and what lies ahead in the next election.  This is a must view!

Memorial Day Thought 2010

As we enjoy our three day weekend with family and friends, keep in mind what this holiday means.  The purpose of Memorial Day is to remember those who have served, sacrificed and died to keep our country free.  As we light our grills, enjoy our food and kick back, remember how much we owe these brave men and women, many who are in harm's way at this moment.  Consider attending a nearby Memorial Day ceremony at a National Cemetery or some other place near you.  Remember our heroes this Memorial Day...

Political Satire: Arizona Sing-Along

As you know, Arizona recently passed a bill, SB1070, which tasks Arizona state and local law enforcement to crack down on illegal immigrants.  The Arizona legislature felt compelled to write this law, which is merely a restricted version of the federal law, because the Federal Government has, thus far, refused to enforce their own law.  The resulting swarm of illegal immigrants into Arizona has led to record crime, kidnapping and murder in the state.

The Obama administration, embarrassed and feeling its toes stepped on (65 percent of Americans support this bill), instantly began a public relations campaign to slander and denounce the bill, stating it will violate Constitutional protection from unreasonable search and seizure and lead to racial profiling.  Of course, the bill will do nothing of the kind and has specific language to prevent such actions.  It turns out Administration officials who were the most vocal in criticizing the bill (Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and others) had never even read it!

Recently, the state of Arizona began its own public relations campaign to counter the negative campaigns being waged against it by the Federal Government and other agencies. The state created a short satirical video focusing on this issue.  Check it out below.

Humor: Come to the USA

It's time for a break from the problems of the day.  The video, below, by singer and song writer Ray Stevens, pokes fun at the immigration situation.  Take a three minute break from your day for a little chuckle.

Response to Mexican President Calderon's Address to Congress

On May 20, 2010, MEXICAN PRESIDENT FELIPE CALDERON addressed a joint session of the US Congress where he had the audacity to lecture us about our immigration laws, criticizing SB1070, Arizona's recently passed illegal immigration law.  Afterward, HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TOM McCLINTOCK (R-California) addressed the Congress, relaying his reaction to President Calderon's speech.  In doing so, he eloquently spoke for thousands of Americans, including yours truly, who were enraged after hearing the Mexican president lecture US about OUR country's immigration laws.  View it below.
