The Hypocrisy of Mexican President Felipe Calderon

On Thursday Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke before Congress and received a standing ovation for his disparaging remarks regarding Arizona's immigration bill. Of course this was after he and President Obama took turns bashing Arizona for doing what our federal government won't do, protect America.


President Obama said, "I want everyone, American and Mexican, to know my administration is taking a very close look at the Arizona law. We're examining any implications especially for civil rights. Because in the United States of America, no law abiding person, be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like."


Obviously the President, like Eric Holder & Janet Napolitano, hasn't read the bill either because the bill is about illegal immigration Mr. President. How convenient that the left continues to confuse legal with illegal immigration.


Then Mexican President Felipe Calderon did an interview with Wolfe Blitzer on CNN. To paraphrase one of Wolfe's questions: Mr. President, so what would happen if a person from Guatemala entered Mexico illegally? President Calderon say, "we would send them back."


That's all Arizona and most Americans want our government to do President Calderon. The illegal immigrants from your country have been a drain on our economy for far too long and it's time for it to stop unless you plan to start paying for them.


In the wake of Arizona passing their immigration bill, ten other states: Texas, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho, South Carolina, Minnesota, North Carolina, Maryland, and Missouri are also considering similar legislation.


Despite the liberal media trying to paint Arizona as the exception the majority of Americans, 55%, support similar legislation in their states according to Rasmussen (much higher in the border states and in the south).


If Obama and the Democrats continue to dismiss the will of the American people, they will pay dearly at the ballot box in November.

Obama says information is a distraction?

Last weekend, President Obama gave the commencement speech at Hampton University in Virginia. In that speech is the now infamous ipod quote, "You are coming of age in a 24-7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads, X-boxes and Play Stations; none of which I know how to work. Information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than a means of emancipation." (video here)

The media tried to laugh this off as the president being funny and technology challenged. Since when is information a distraction? Information is POWER! And that is why the president and his minions in the liberal media have been in an all out assault on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party.

The president and the left understand the threat that Fox News, talk radio, and the Internet present to their hostile takeover of America.

The president has now created his own White House media that has been the only outlet to interview supreme court nominee, Elana Kagan. Why hasn't anyone else been able to interview her? So they can control the information and therefore the power. Where does that rate on the truth meter Mr. President?

We're beginning to see some dissension in the ranks. There have been a few in the liberal media who are beginning to question the new white house media. Why, because they aren't getting an opportunity to interview Kagan? More likely it's that they're being excluded from the inner circle and losing their power. But would they really ask the tough questions? Of course not; because they are nothing more than a propaganda tool for Obama... When he needs them.

What's even more troubling is that they are excluding the media even further as evidenced by the new White House Video Blog. Here you will find all kinds of video that the media has been excluded from. I thought this was going to be the most transparent administration in history?

More like opaque. The president and his administration have become quite adept at saying one thing while doing something else entirely. What will be interesting to watch is whether or not the media will start doing there job. I doubt it.

The Rudderless Ship

The Rudderless Ship

Over the last year I have spent quite a bit of my free time studying the founding fathers and the more I do the more I am convinced they would be very disappointed at what our country has become. Not since President Reagan have we had a capable leader with any kind of real vision or direction for our country. Needless to say I have become quite apathetic with our entire political process.

I mean seriously, which candidate strikes you as an actual leader with vision for the future that doesn't involve socialism? John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama. Please, it’s just more of the same style over substance. None of these people are capable of really leading our country into the future.

Unfortunately this means America is destined to spend another four years drifting along aimlessly like a rudderless ship on the sea of mediocrity. We’ll have our leader but regardless who wins, America and the rest of the world for that matter are destined to drift along for a while longer. Hopefully a new captain, will finally emerge and right the ship and lead us back toward that shining city on the hill.

From my studies, it appears that we only have a few great leaders each century (Reagan, FDR, JFK, Roosevelt) and now that it’s been nearly two decades since President Reagan left office we’re due to have a truly dynamic leader emerge sooner rather than later.

For those of you who know me, you know that this bothers me a great deal to say anything negative about America. I consider myself an ardent patriot, served in the U.S. Army for five years, and fought in Desert Storm. I am extremely proud to be a veteran and understand, like Thomas Jefferson “that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots.”

At one time I thought that George Bush going to emerge as that leader the way he lead us after 911. Unfortunately he has been relegated to fighting a politically correct war and has been constantly under the microscope of mostly liberal media. Most of the people in charge of the media are leftists who protested Viet Nam and seized upon the opportunity to turn Iraq into the same predicament.

What would these liberals, who hold FDR in such high regard, say about the tactics we fought World War II with? War is hell and unfortunately must be fought with an all or nothing mentality. I’m glad that we have the technology to drop a bomb down a chimney, I’ve seen it first hand, but we must stop worrying about what the media and the rest of the world think of us and fight with all of our might.

The world hated Reagan too only to find out that he was right all along. I remember his Tear Down This Wall speech and was fortunate enough to be stationed with a border patrol unit in Germany when that wall came tumbling down. What an amazing period in history to live and experience first hand. I remember East Germans coming up, so excited, thanking us for giving them their freedom. They wanted every thing American and were offering to buy the Levis we were wearing and the Nikes off our feet.

I guess every generation waxes nostalgic about the good old days and perhaps that’s all I’m doing too. I wouldn’t want to live any place else because regardless of our faults, we’re still the greatest country on the planet. I’m just looking forward to the next great American leader to emerge and lead us into the future.
