Zuckerberg And Rubio: Amnesty’s Two Indistinguishable Amigos

Zuckerberg SC Zuckerberg and Rubio: Amnesty’s two indistinguishable amigos

Mark Zuckerberg and Marco Rubio have become amnesty’s two indistinguishable amigos. They have morphed into Marco Zuckerberg and Mark Rubio.

You’ve heard the radio spots and seen the television ads featuring Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio talking about the dire need to do something about the “immigration problem” (not “illegal immigration” but immigration.)

During a minute’s worth of huffing and puffing, Rubio tries to bulldoze past any logical objections to erasing our borders with faux tough talk designed to impress us with his credentials as an “insider’ who KNOWS more than we do.

Rubio’s media crusade is funded by liberal Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

To impress us, Rubio uses buzz phrases like “conservative immigration reform,” “tough border triggers,” and “no giveaways for lawbreakers.”  That putting these words in Rubio’s mouth is not only breathtakingly insulting to true conservatives (but simply not true) shouldn’t resonate with a liberal like Zuckerberg; but Rubio has been “playing a conservative on TV” long enough to know better.

These spots betray a gross underestimation of conservatives.  Zuckerberg probably believes conservatives marry their sisters and are far less intelligent than he is, but Rubio apparently thinks conservatives are pining for a way to suck up to Hispanics the way white liberals sucked up to blacks and elected Barack Obama.

A new report from Public Policy Polling (a Democrat firm) shows that Rubio is self-immolating with these insulting spots. Conservatives who once saw him as an acceptable GOP nominee for president in 2016 are running away from him in obvious disgust over his decision to do Chuck Schumer’s bidding by erasing our borders.

During the period from May 6 – 9, when asked about Rubio as the Republicans’ 2016 nominee, “very conservative” and “somewhat conservative” respondents supported him at 17% and 18% respectively. That’s down from 26% and 22% from these groups just a month before.

The supreme irony of Marco Rubio’s foolishness is that Hispanics, who hold themselves aloof from participation in our civic life and wait for the best “goodies” package offer before deciding who to support, are naïve enough to believe Rubio’s tough talk and don’t like it.  His support among Hispanics has fallen 5% in the same period.

At this point, only wild-eyed liberals like Zukerberg believe that these spots can erase our borders. Nevertheless, a cunning liberal like Schumer might be using these spots as an opportunity to destroy the foolish Mr. Rubio’s chances of ever running for president.

Blurring the lines between “amnesty amigos” Marco Zuckerberg and Mark Rubio will not end well for the Senator from Florida.

A Matter Of Trust

Obama Who Is Benghazi SC A Matter of Trust

I don’t mind doing in-depth analysis. I do a show that treats you like critical-thinking adults, not low-information voting children who can only handle enough truth and data to fit into a single Tweet.

But sometimes in-depth analysis isn’t required. Sometimes all the data and argumentation in the world simply comes down to one question—who do you trust?

The details surrounding the aptly named “gang of eight” immigration bill and Benghazi are complicated for sure. For those of us out here in the cheap-seats, they’re also largely unattainable. We simply don’t have the resources it requires to investigate them exhaustively. Therefore, we rely on those who do to make it plain for us.

But what happens when there are conflicting accounts of those details? Then, it becomes a matter of trust.

Over the years, I’ve often been accused of demanding perfection; but that’s not true at all. What I demand is the same thing you demand of me—integrity. Integrity isn’t perfection because only one Man is, which is why the rest of us need Him.

Integrity is a consistency between right belief and right behavior. Even the best of us fall down, make bad calls, have blind spots, and commit terrible mistakes at times. But over the long haul of someone’s life and calling, you either see that consistency or you don’t. They either get it right much more often than they get it wrong or they don’t.

When it comes down to Benghazi, who has integrity here?

Is it Gregory Hicks, a man the Obama Regime once thought enough of to make him their second in command in all of Libya? Or is it President Obama? Is it Hicks, who has faithfully served administrations in both parties during a 22-year career in the U.S. State Department that has spanned six countries (and has been awarded a dozen merit pay or honor awards during his tenure)? Or is it Obama, the man who tells the child killers at Planned Parenthood “God bless you,” tries to make Christian institutions and companies provide abortifacients for their employees, and has disregarded the Constitution countless times already?

That one is a no-brainer. But so is this next one.

When it comes to illegal immigration, who has the integrity here?

Is it former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (the man now at the head of the Heritage Foundation), or is it the group of current U.S. Senators that make up the “gang of eight?” I really admire DeMint, but he isn’t infallible (and I have disagreed with him before.) But if you could only choose one to get into a Constitutional foxhole with, who would you rather have your back? Jim DeMint, or John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Bob Menendez, and Charles Schumer?

Case closed.

Crimes Of The Illegals

“If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all nations, kindreds [sic] tongues and peoples; and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.”– Frederick Douglass

Under Herbert Hoover’s presidency during the Great Depression, local governments ordered the deportation of illegal aliens to make jobs available to American 
citizens who desperately needed work.

Harry Truman introduced legislation in 1951 to reduce the illegal immigration problem.

And then in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported approximately 1.3 million Mexican nationals due to the growing threat to national security and the American economy.

This current administration walks contrary to the presidents who actually served those they were responsible to represent! At a time when America is in an “economic crisis,” Obama and his minions (Psalm 12:8) have again displayed their disdain for America and her people by opening our borders and welcoming illegal immigration … and the crimes illegals commit along with it.

First, is it not this administration that attacks governors and even sues states on our southern border for enforcing the laws against illegal immigrants? Yes, it is.

Is it not this administration that also recently granted amnesty to 800,000 illegals so this president could round up some more young voters? Yes, it is.

Is it not the Department of Justice that has bullied states over voter-ID laws (and has even gone so far as to claim it is racial profiling) to ensure that illegal aliens have free reign in America? Yes, it is. Attorney General Eric Holder has now even called amnesty for illegals a “civil right,” as if to say the illegals have a right to break the law. This should come as no surprise. (Do not forget that this is the same attorney general who placed guns into the hands of violent criminals in Mexico to blame the American people for the crimes he contrived through “Fast and Furious.”)

On the other hand, is not this administration responsible for violating every American citizen (suspected terrorist) who desires to fly out of an airport when the TSA frisks him or her at the security checkpoint, which clearly violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution? Yes, it is.

What? We are required to show our IDs to get on an airplane, but we are not required to show IDs when we vote?

Case in point: This administration is not only overlooking the illegals, but encouraging illegal immigrants while harassing American citizens. This is not only illegal, but it is treasonous.

The borders are wide open without and within, and this administration is there to ensure they remain open. What people may not realize are the repeated crimes against the American people by illegal aliens who have been deported time and time again. The Department of Homeland Security has even gone so far as to release hundreds of illegals out of prisons, letting them loose on the American people. It is time that America begins to hear the cries of the victims and bring forth justice – and it starts with this administration.

The crimes committed in America by illegal aliens are horrendous. But because the American people allow this administration to remain in power, we have repeat offenders emboldened to commit crimes at will, killing our police, raping our women, and even kidnapping our young.

America, not to speak is to speak; and not to act is to act. It is time to speak and to act. The American people cannot stand down. Silence is consent.

The Department of Homeland Security estimates that immigrants (legal and illegal) comprise 20 percent of inmates in prisons and jails. Here are some of their crimes committed against the American people (Warning: disturbing content):

Terror: The Writing Is On The Wall

“The system of terror was essential to Stalinism. … Terror was the creation to mold politically the control that they wanted.”– Condoleezza Rice, “Joseph Stalin: Red Terror”

As we look back at the atrocities that have devastated America over the past 12 years since 9/11, one has to reflect upon history and see how it is that past dictators have profited from the use of “terror.”

For example: Hitler was responsible for attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war. He perpetuated a war against the “enemies” he himself created. His propagandists had the Germans believing they were under attack; and all the while, Hitler was the one doing the attacking.

Hitler was also responsible for sending his brownshirts to incite the people so he could play the role of problem-solver. Eighty million Germans refused to believe Hitler was guilty of these crimes until 12 million of their fellow citizens were slaughtered.

Then it was too late.

This is, in fact, what history teaches us.

And now to the present.

It seems rather strange that when America is attacked, one does not question why it is that the government is right there asking the people to relinquish or forfeit their rights – rights hundreds and thousands of men and women have fought, bled, and died to give us.

Listen to what Gen. Douglas MacArthur said of the United States government back in 1957:

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it. …

Yes, he said this in 1957.

You would think that this is what our government said on Sept. 11, 2001.

It was.

“Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”– George W. Bush, Sept. 20, 2001

After this statement, the un-Patriot Act was signed into law; and now Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights are violated as they are searched at almost every airport in America through the TSA’s pretended authority. And the government, step-by-step, aggrandizes power to itself while consuming individual liberty.

After 9/11, America was told that we were under an extremist Islamic threat. And now this administration (which celebrates Ramadan in the White House, gives F-16s and tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood, continuously sympathizes with radical Islam, opens the borders for illegal immigration, and runs guns to Mexican gun cartels to blame the American people) has now extended the definition of a terrorist to mean anyone who happens to be a patriot, a Christian, a gun owner, a pro-lifer, etc. – in essence, an American. (Isaiah 5:20)

Just this last week, the Equal Opportunity branch of the military put out a training manual labeling “evangelical Christians” as the No. 1 threat to America. Within a week, the “USA Today” front page stated “Terror Returns” after the Boston marathon bombing; and officials are stating that the suspects are possibly “homegrown terrorists.”

This isn’t the first time our government has labeled Americans as terrorists. Let’s go to Waco, Oklahoma City, and Ruby Ridge to see who was responsible for the terror enacted:

USA Today Changing Use Of “Illegal Immigrant”

USA Today SC USA Today Changing Use of “Illegal Immigrant”

Following last week’s announcement that the Associated Press was adjusting its Stylebook and dropping the use of the term “illegal immigrant,” USA Today issued a memo last night that largely followed the AP’s example.

From: Coon, William
Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 6:16 PM
To: USAT ED Virginia Staff; USAT ED Field Staff

Subject: Change in USA TODAY style on illegal immigration

You probably have heard that the Associated Press recently changed its style on the term illegal immigrant. Starting tonight, USA TODAY is also changing its style. It is not exactly the same as AP’s, but the upshot is that we will no longer use the term illegal immigrant outside of direct quotes. Here’s the new style:

 

illegal immigration

The term illegal immigration is acceptable, but do not label people as illegal immigrants, except in direct quotes. Undocumented immigrant, undocumented worker and unauthorized immigrant are acceptable terms — depending on accuracy, clarity and context — for foreign nationals who are in the country illegally. An alternative is to use a phrase such as “people who entered the U.S. illegally” or “living in the country without legal permission.”

Avoid using the word alien to refer to immigrants, except in quoted matter or official government designations. Do not use illegal or illegals as a noun. It is considered pejorative by most immigrants. Migrant can be used instead of immigrant in a tight space.

Heaven forbid that we offend anyone who has entered the country illegally.
