Why Democrats Need Amnesty For Illegal Aliens

___If granted citizenship, then illegal aliens will probably vote to keep Democrats in power.

___The Democrat programs Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are bankrupt and new taxpayer blood is needed. The same is true for the Medicare Drug portion passed under George W. Bush. American birthrates are not at replacement levels, certainly not sufficient to provide a growing number of taxpayers to support the growing number of Americans turning 65.

___The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed by the Democrat-controlled Congress and President in 2010 because 47 Million Americans were without health insurance. After almost five years, there are currently 41 Million Americans were without health insurance.

Barack Hussein Obama in 2015 State of the Union

My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I've had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol -- to do what I believe is best for America.

False Environmental Prophets of Doom

___In 1798 Thomas Malthus saw that the world population was growing faster than the food supply. He predicted worldwide starvation and wars fought over resources.

___What happened is that automation and chemicals dramatically increased the food supply and made harvesting and transporting it easier. Wars still occurred, but not over food.

___In 1968 Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb. As a “scientist” he closely follows Darwin and calls for a 2 billion cap on human population by 2050 using a “responsible breeding program” which would allow “superior” humans to breed while “inferior” humans are sterilized. He is willing to accept increased intelligence through “environmental” changes to home and school and improved diet. “In the 1970s the world will undergo famines – hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death”, and “we must take action to reverse the deterioration of our environment before population pressure permanently ruins our planet. The birth rate must be brought into balance with the death rate or mankind will breed itself onto oblivion.”

___Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciation. This hypothesis had little support in the scientific community, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s and press reports that did not accurately reflect the full scope of the scientific climate literature, i.e., a larger and faster-growing body of literature projecting future warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. The current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but underwent global warming throughout the 20th century. The evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it."

___On October 23, 2006, Newsweek issued a correction, over 31 years after the original article, stating that it had been "so spectacularly wrong about the near-term future" (though editor Jerry Adler claimed that 'the story wasn't "wrong" in the journalistic sense of "inaccurate."')

___An Inconvenient Truth...Or Convenient Fiction? is an American documentary film by Dr Steven F. Hayward, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. The film, produced by the Pacific Research Institute and filmed at the Heritage Foundation, disputes many of the claims in the film An Inconvenient Truth, arguing that it goes too far in predictions of doom. Dr Hayward generally believes that the Earth's environment is far more resilient than public opinion would think. "Global warming extremists" "distort the science, grossly exaggerate the risks, argue that anyone who disagrees with them is corrupt, and suggest that solutions are easy and cheap," and that dealing with the issue in such a manner creates "an all too convenient fiction."

___Five years ago, Al Gore predicted the North Pole’s ice cap would become a fond memory, a casualty of the raging inferno of global warming. The “entire North Polar ice cap will be gone in five years,” he solemnly told a German TV audience.

___Mr. Gore’s deadline has passed, and neither Santa Claus, Rudolph and the other reindeer, nor the polar bears are looking for a life raft. There were 7.3 million square miles of Arctic ice on Dec. 7, 2008. Fast-forward five years, and there are still 7.3 million square miles of Arctic ice, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. This figure does go up and down with a natural cycle of melting and freezing, but the total today is within 5 percent of what it has been for the past 30 years.

___In “The Inconvenient Truth,” the country’s foremost doomsayer warned that the world’s sea levels would rise 20 feet as a result of the polar ice melting. Mr. Gore saw dire portents in the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina. Two weeks after the storm hit, Mr. Gore announced that “the scientific community is warning us that the average hurricane will continue to get stronger because of global warming.”

___Wrong again. The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ended Nov. 30, was the meekest since 1982. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration noted that “no major hurricanes formed in the Atlantic basin [for the] first time since 1994.” This was despite 19 additional years with carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere.

The Consequences of Gun Control - Some Examples

1. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves against their ethnic-cleansing government, were arrested and exterminated.

2. In 1929, the former Soviet Union established gun control as a means of controlling the "more difficult" of their citizens. From 1929 to the death of Stalin, 40 million Soviets met an untimely end at the hand of various governmental agencies as they were arrested and exterminated.

3. After the rise of the Nazi's, Germany established their version of gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves against the "Brown Shirts," were arrested and exterminated. Interestingly, the Brown Shirts were eventually targeted for extermination themselves following their blind acts of allegiance to Hitler. Any American military and police would be wise to grasp the historical significance of the Brown Shirts' fate.

4. After Communist China established gun control in 1935, an estimated 50 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves against their fascist leaders, were arrested and exterminated.

5. Closer to home, Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves against their ruthless dictatorship, were arrested and exterminated.

6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves from their dictatorial government, were arrested and exterminated.

7. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million of the "educated" people, unable to defend themselves against their fascist government, were arrested and exterminated.

8. In 1994, Rwanda disarmed the Tutsi people and being unable to defend themselves from their totalitarian government, nearly one million were summarily executed.

Letter to Joe Wilson (R-SC2)

You have saved Federal employees in District 2 from several weeks of furlough. In the past this has never resulted in anything but a paid vacation.

You have funded the President and his administration for the entire fiscal year. His EO for amnesty for illegals, his pro-death abortion funding, his illegal subsidy payments for PPACA to states which chose not to set up state exchanges, his refusal to faithfully execute laws passed by the peoples' representatives, his lies and fraud, etc will continue.

The new Representatives and Senators elected in November 2014 will have no voice in the funding decisions until 1 October 2015! They may object to what has been done, but you and other “establishment Republicans” (RiNOs) will quickly silence them! Your conduct since 2001 has been merely acting conservative. You are definitely out of the closet now! Your Heritage Action score has fallen from 94 to 70.

The lives of the babies who will be killed will be on your hands. I wrote in Mike Stake, the Chairman of the Aiken County TEA Party, to avoid voting for you. That 53% still voted for you shows that Professor Gruber was correct – at least in District 2!

Slavery Reparations

___In the recent rioting, the topic of reparations for slavery came up again. The topic is usually disregarded without reply. I think that even the most specious claims which are continually put forward by race demogogues should be debated thoroughly once and for all.

___Those in favor of reparations (seekers) want money. That money would come from the government – taken by force from taxpayers. The seekers do not want to go to civil court and prove that a specific person harmed them. They want money. Their only claim is that they are black.

___The President claims to be black. His mother was not, and his father supposedly* was a Kenyan named Barack Obama. Obviously neither his mother's ancestors nor his “father's” ancestors in Kenya would qualify for harm by being enslaved in the United States.

___Obviously not everyone who is black or who claims to be black is descended from victims of slavery just like not everyone who claims to be part-”Native American” should receive a part of profits from a casino located on tribal lands. Also not all slaves were victims. Many were prisoners of other tribes in Africa which sold them to European slave traders. They were purchased by families who thought of them more as family than property – certainly better than prisoners of opposing tribes or slave traders. An example is Mrs. Tubman in Augusta, GA who freed her slaves and paid for their passage to Liberia, Africa in the early 1800s when her husband died. Since slaves were legally “property”, this was a great sacrifice of a significant portion of her net worth.

___We are a nation of laws. Instead of illegally harming innocent people or destroying the property of innocent business owners, personal injury should be proved in civil courts before a judge and jury of peers.

* In the movie Dreams From My Real Father, Barry Soetoro is the bastard child of a married neighbor^ of the Dunhams. Because Stanley Anne's father worked for the CIA and the neighbor was a Communist Party USA member, a cover story was created. Barack Obama was a CIA-sponsored scholar from Kenya studying in Hawaii. He was bribed to “marry” Stanley Anne. He was allowed to stay in the United States and complete his Ph.D. degree at Harvard. He divorced Stanley Anne shortly after the marriage. She then married Leo Soetoro. Barry was raised by Stanley Anne's parents. When he entered politics, he took the name Barack Obama. Most of his records are sealed or inconveniently located to make vetting nearly impossible. Facts like living with a Muslim, anti-colonialist father and attending Muslim schools in the 6-10 formative years and attending prep school and college on affirmative-action scholarships are surpressed. Also surpressed is his close personal friendship with domestic terrorist/murderer Bill Ayers and the influence Bill's father (CEO of ConEd) used to get Barry into Columbia University and Harvard Law School.

HOW SOME STATES DID NOT LEGALLY RATIFY THE 16TH AMENDMENT

Bill Benson's findings, published in "The Law That Never Was," make a convincing case that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified and that Secretary of State Philander Knox was not merely in error, but committed fraud when he declared it ratified in February 1913. What follows is a summary of some of the major findings for many of the states, showing that their ratifications were not legal and should not have been counted.

The 16th amendment had been sent out in 1909 to the state governors for ratification by the state legislatures after having been passed by Congress. There were 48 states at that time, and three-fourths, or 36, of them were required to give their approval in order for it to be ratified. The process took almost the whole term of the Taft administration, from 1909 to 1913.

Knox had received responses from 42 states when he declared the 16th amendment ratified on February 25, 1913, just a few days before leaving office to make way for the administration of Woodrow Wilson. Knox acknowledged that four of those states (Utah, Conn, R.I. and N.H.) had rejected it, and he counted 38 states as having approved it. We will now examine some of the key evidence Bill Benson found regarding the approval of the amendment in many of those states.

In Kentucky, the legislature acted on the amendment without even having received it from the governor (the governor of each state was to transmit the proposed amendment to the state legislature). The version of the amendment that the Kentucky legislature made up and acted upon omitted the words "on income" from the text, so they weren't even voting on an income tax! When they straightened that out (with the help of the governor), the Kentucky senate rejected the amendment. Yet Philander Knox counted Kentucky as approving it!

In Oklahoma, the legislature changed the wording of the amendment so that its meaning was virtually the opposite of what was intended by Congress, and this was the version they sent back to Knox. Yet Knox counted Oklahoma as approving it, despite a memo from his chief legal counsel, Reuben Clark, that states were not allowed to change it in any way.

Attorneys who have studied the subject have agreed that Kentucky and Oklahoma should not have been counted as approvals by Philander Knox, and, moreover, if any state could be shown to have violated its own state constitution or laws in its approval process, then that state's approval would have to be thrown out. That gets us past the "presumptive conclusion" argument, which says that the actions of an executive official cannot be judged by a court, and admits that Knox could be wrong.

If we subtract Kentucky and Oklahoma from the 38 approvals above, the count of valid approvals falls to 36, the exact number needed for ratification. If any more states can be shown to have had invalid approvals, the 16th amendment must be regarded as null and void.

The state constitution of Tennessee prohibited the state legislature from acting on any proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution sent by Congress until after the next election of state legislators. The intent, of course, is to give the proposed amendment a chance to become an issue in the state legislative elections so that the people can have a voice in determining the outcome. It also provides a cooling off period to reduce the tendency to approve an idea just because it happens to be the moment's trend. You've probably already guessed that the Tennessee legislature did not hold off on voting for the amendment until after the next election, and you'd be right - they didn't; hence, they acted upon it illegally before they were authorized to do so. They also violated their own state constitution by failing to read the resolution on three different days as prescribed by Article II, Section 18. These state constitutional violations make their approval of the amendment null and void. Their approval is and was invalid, and it brings the number of approving states down to 35, one less than required for ratification.

Texas and Louisiana violated provisions in their state constitutions prohibiting the legislatures from empowering the federal government with any additional taxing authority. Now the number is down to 33.

Twelve other states, besides Tennessee, violated provisions in their constitutions requiring that a bill be read on three different days before voting on it. This is not a trivial requirement. It allows for a cooling off period; it enables members who may be absent one day to be present on another; it allows for a better familiarity with, and understanding of, the measure under consideration, since some members may not always read a bill or resolution before voting on it (believe it or not!). States violating this procedure were: Mississippi, Ohio, Arkansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, West Virginia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Colorado, and Illinois. Now the number is reduced to 21 states legally ratifying the amendment.

When Secretary Knox transmitted the proposed amendment to the states, official certified and sealed copies were sent. Likewise, when state results were returned to Knox, it was required that the documents, including the resolution that was actually approved, be properly certified, signed, and sealed by the appropriate official(s). This is no more than any ordinary citizen has to do in filing any legal document, so that it's authenticity is assured; otherwise it is not acceptable and is meaningless. How much more important it is to authenticate a constitutional amendment! Yet a number of states did not do this, returning uncertified, unsigned, and/or unsealed copies, and did not rectify their negligence even after being reminded and warned by Knox. The most egregious offenders were Ohio, California, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Minnesota - which did not send any copy at all, so Knox could not have known what they even voted on! Since four of these states were already disqualified above, California is now subtracted from the list of valid approvals, reducing it to 20.

These last five states, along with Kentucky and Oklahoma, have particularly strong implications with regard to the fraud charge against Knox, in that he cannot be excused for not knowing they shouldn't have been counted. Why was he in such a hurry? Why did he not demand that they send proper documentation? They never did.

Further review would make the list dwindle down much more, but with the number down to 20, sixteen fewer than required, this is a suitable place to rest, without getting into the matter of several states whose constitutions limited the taxing authority of their legislatures, which could not give to the federal govern authority they did not have.

The results from the six states Knox had not heard from at the time he made his proclamation do not affect the conclusion that the amendment was not legally ratified. Of those six: two (Virginia and Pennsylvania) he never did hear from, because they ignored the proposed amendment; Florida rejected it; two others (Vermont and Massachusetts) had rejected it much earlier by recorded votes, but, strangely, submitted to the Secretary within a few days of his ratification proclamation that they had passed it (without recorded votes); West Virginia had purportedly approved it at the end of January 1913, but its notification had not yet been received (remember that West Virginia had violated its own constitution, as noted above).
