Illegal Aliens Getting Huge Tax Refunds For Kids Who Live Abroad

According to an Indiana NBC affiliate TV station investigation, illegal immigrants are getting more than 4 billion dollars annually in refunds through a tax loophole: the 'additional child tax credit'.  And  for kids who don't even live in this country.  One undocumented worker received a little over $11,000 for 9 nieces and nephews who live in Mexico. The IRS is obviously aware of the problem and doing nothing about it.

Regardless of where you stand on illegal immigration, I think we can all agree that getting huge refunds for children (not even your own) living in a foreign land is absolutely outrageous.

Seattle Couple Live In 1.2 Million House While Claiming Welfare

What is wrong with this picture?

While 39-year-old Rachelle  Grimmer (a woman in Texas) shoots her two kids and then herself at a Laredo welfare office because she was refused food stamps, a couple in Seattle have been living in a 1.2  million dollar waterfront home, on welfare since 2003.

Grimmer had recently moved to Texas from a small town in Ohio, and had desperately sought food stamps for herself, 10-year-old Timothy and 12-year-old Ramie. When she first applied in July, she was  denied because she apparently did not furnish enough information to qualify.  Stephanie Goodman, of the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, was not aware of what the missing paperwork was, but with an 18-page application form it could have been anything. Applicants must also provide proof of residency and employment.  There are no details about a husband, or why she left Ohio to begin with, but the woman was obviously distraught and desperate enough to hole up in a government building for 7 hours and then shoot both of her kids and then herself. The kids are in critical condition.

There are some people who need and should get help, even if it's for a short time to help them get back on their feet. And then there are those who successfully cheat the system and get away with it for years, like the Seattle chiropractor David Silverstein and his wife Lyudmila Shimonova.  Lyudmila and the doc hatched an elaborate plan to cheat the government out of over $1,200 a month in housing assistance, welfare, food stamps and other benefits. For over 8 years.  Lyudmila applied for the assistance as a single mother of two with few assets.  Her hubby, pretending to be the landlord, received the $1,272 rent checks every month. Why no-one questioned why a so-called 'welfare' mom was living in a house worth 1.2 million dollars is baffling.  That only happens in England. 

While the couple apparently did give to charity, they also took trips to places like Turkey, Moscow, Paris, Dominican Republic, Israel and Mexico. Then there's that black jag that the doc drives, sitting in the driveway of that lovely, expensive house on the water. According to one of the comments in this article, ironically,  the house is located next to a very impoverished neighbourhood.  The doc owns his own practice, Seward Park Chiropractic Center, and says he is "happily married with two children, whose careers are in medicine and Middle Eastern studies." I guess their university studies were provided by the government courtesy of  the U.S. taxpayers.  He goes on to say: "As a family, we all enjoy snow shoeing, mountain climbing and ocean sports."  Maybe he should add "and bilking the U.S. government out of thousands" to his bio.

There's no doubt they are married and thankfully their criminal activity has finally caught up with them.  Although not charged with a crime, per se, the Attorney General's office is suing them to recoup the stolen monies along with various fines. I'm not sure why they are not being charged, because one would think that defrauding the government would be a criminal offense.

There is something desperately wrong with a system that denies some measly monthly food stamps to a Texan mother in need, and provides people who have no need with thousands per month through fraudulent means.  It's truly shameful.

UPDATE 12/10/11: 12-year-old Ramie Grimmer died of her wounds on Wednesday.  She had posted to her Facebook, just before she was shot by her mother "May die 2day". According to Grimmer's mother-in-law, she had a history of mental instability. 

U.S. Communist Party Members- just your average, everyday Joes

Check out your average, every day Commie, posted on the Houston Chapter of Communist Party USA. They were none too happy with the election results, but they want you to know that they're just like you and me, and want you to join their cause.

Did someone forget to tell them that Communism has failed, in the long term, in every single country that has ever implemented that form of government?

No Legalized Pot For California, But They Pick Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer- Again!

Who would have thought that California, of all places, would have voted down Proposition 19 (legalizing Marijuana). I was actually incredibly surprised considering the amount of dope heads that live there, and the fact that it supposedly produces one-third of this country's 'weed'. But after reading an article in the Sacramento Bee, published in April 2010, about pot farming in Mendocino County, it makes total sense. Legalizing it would bring down profits, from the grower to the dealer.

As for the re-election of Jerry Brown, a governor who actually admitted during a CNN interview back in 1992 that he "lied",

It’s all a lie," Brown says. "You’re pretending there’s a plan ....

Frank Sesno: What did you lie about?

Brown: You run for office and the assumption is "Oh, I know what to do." You don’t. I didn’t have a plan for California. Clinton doesn’t have a plan. Bush doesn’t have a plan .... You say you’re going to lower taxes, you’re going to put people to work, you’re gonna improve the schools, you’re going to stop crime … crime is up, schools are worse, taxes are higher. I mean, be real!"

I'm not really surprised at all, considering the amount of liberal fools that reside there. One would think that the residents of bankrupt California would have embraced Ebay's former CEO Meg Whitman, a Princeton and Harvard Business School graduate, who took Ebay from $4 billion to $8 billion in annual earnings, and from 30 to in excess of 15,000 employees in her ten year tenure at the company. But no, they settled for Jerry Brown, and re-elected ultra-liberal Barbara Boxer who bounced 143 checks the tune of $41,000 plus change.

Unfortunately, Meg Whitman never recovered from the "illegal maid" fiasco that Gloria Allred dug up at the last minute, obviously egged on by Jerry Brown and the Democratic Party's penchant for dirty politics. She should have fought back, but didn't.

My condolences to the 'good' people of California who will suffer the consequences for the folly of the dopes.

SImple Solution For The BP Gulf Oil Spill- Hay

Let's hope someone out there is paying attention to these two from CW Roberts Contracting, Darryl Carpenter and Otis Goodson, who have come up with an innovative, yet simple, non-toxic solution to cleaning up the monumental oil spill created by the B.P. explosion in the Gulf. At least the powers-that-be who are in charge should give it a try. There's nothing to lose and all to gain. It's pretty miraculous what hay can do other than satisfy horses and hay-riders.

Diversity Lane's- Healthcarelessness or ram it through no matter what

The latest from Zack, over at Diversity Lane, says it all re. the Dems and their herculean efforts to to ram their health care through, come hell or high water. At this point, it's just a question of getting their way, and nothing more.

Scott Brown and The Day Obamacare Died- The People Have Spoken

It's been a year since Barack Hussein Obama took office as the elected President of these great United States. With all the promises of hope and change that were bandied about during the campaign, and the great expectations that so many people chose to foolishly glom onto, he has accomplished absolutely nothing. His only potential claim to fame would have been his abominable Obamacare which, along with Pelosi and Reid and the majority of Democrats, he was trying his damnedest to cram down the American people's throats. Very few people wanted it, at least in its present incarnation, and although I do know some who did, they were a paltry few. Yet our elected officials continued on their merry little ways, caring little for what their constituents wanted, nay, demanded.

As an actress who depends on work weeks to qualify for insurance, as precarious as that is, and someone with 2 pre-existing conditions that would make it well-nigh impossible to get insured, I should have bought the Obama/Pelosi/Reid pablum, but I didn't. In fact, this past year was very dry and I am now paying COBRA payments of $2,100.00 per quarter. I don't relish that, but I am still against national health care. I think everyone agrees there is a need for health care reform, but not in the form of Obamacare, or Pelosi/Reidcare. Let's face it, the only reason for the rush was purely political. After riding in on a wave of undeserved glory, Obama has accomplished absolutely nothing, and I'm sure everyone felt it was imperative that at least one campaign promise get fulfilled. Now it looks as if even that might be dead in the water. With the election of unknown Scott Brown (who came out of nowhere in a very short time to overtake Marcia, oops Martha Coakley, the anticipated winner of Teddy Kennedy's MA Senate seat), it could be a goner. Massachusetts is a blue state and Teddy Kennedy, as liberal as they come, had held that seat for decades. He had been one of the greatest proponents of universal health care, and so for a Republican to win that particular seat is of monumental import. Just like lifelong Republicans voted for Obama, lifelong Democrats voted for Brown. Of course, the blame game has already started, with even those laughably blaming the loss on George W Bush.

But push come to shove, I think some of the liberals have finally gotten it through their thick heads that the tea party movement is not just some far right, Republican temporary pastime, and that it isn't just that group of conservatives who are dissatisfied with the direction this country is headed. Scott's win has scared the dickens out of many of the Democrats who see a major overhaul coming in November 2010 if they don't shape up and listen to the people. Personally, I think it's too late for them, but it looks like many are now saying we need to shelve Obamacare, in its present format, pick what is good and start from scratch. Even Barney Frank has said as much. Who knows what will happen in the next few months, Obama knows he will be a one term President, and probably could care less if its pushed through without popular support, so it could pass. I just have a feeling the blue-dog Democrats are feeling the heat right now, and will probably not be inclined to vote for a bill that could lose them their seats come November, or earlier.

Hopefully our politicians will remember Brown's win, and the next time the people speak, they'll listen.

Liberal Hypocrisy At Its Finest- Harry Reid and his "negro" comments

Had it been a Republican instead of Democrat Harry Reid who had uttered the infamous Obama would make a great black candidate thanks to his being a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' they would have been hung up to dry and no longer in office. In fact, liberals have gone out of their way to excuse his blatant racist remark, including many blacks, simply because he is a Democrat.


Black conservatives, on the other hand, see him for what he really is, an idiot racist. What I find so interesting is that most people are under the false assumption that the majority of Republicans are racist, which is far from the truth. They conveniently forget, or never knew to begin with, that the fight to end slavery was started by Republicans. They also have no clue that one of the greatest civil rights activists to date, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, was a Republican.


We fight hard to keep racists out of our party (Derek Black, Florida), and although we don't always win, at least we make the effort. The Democrats, on the other hand, have former KKK member Sen. Robert Byrd, WV, who has been in the senate for decades. I realize people can change, and that people make stupid remarks without thinking, but it's unfair that liberals are forgiven while Republicans are vilified and pressured to resign. If we're going to be forgiving, then lets forgive across the board.

As for Harry Reid, LTC. Allen West, Black conservative running for a Congressional seat this November puts it very eloquently. I know he has my vote. Perhaps some day he will run for Prez!

Greetings,


The revelation of Senator Harry Reid's comments referencing "negro talk" is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. The history of the Democrat party is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is this new aged socialism born from the Johnson Great Society programs that have castigated blacks as victims needing government dependency. One need only to look upon the city of Detroit to ascertain what liberal social welfare policies have produced for the inner city... the new plantation for black Americans.

The Ku Klux Klan was birthed by the Democrats as a terrorist wing to intimidate blacks, and whites, who sought to promote economic and education independence and social justice for blacks. What was once overt has just morphed and become covert, yet still exists.

One can only imagine the insanity and media outrage if Reid's quote had come from a member of the Republican party. I look forward to hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on Reid's comments... or has liberal hush money paid for the silence of these proprietors of poverty and victimization theory. Actually, if President Obama had any courage he would demand Reid step down as Senate Majority Leader, and discontinue any support for his Senate reelection... notice I said "if". I am quite sure the Soros money which elevated Obama to the position of President has bought his servitude.

Why am I running for US Congress as a Republican? Simple. I would rather stand proudly and be called "an Uncle Tom and a sellout" than lose my self-esteem and be considered an inferior by liberals. I understand the legacy of the GOP and the black community... not the revisionist history espoused by liberal educators. I am not, shall never be, and will not raise my daughters to be a part of the liberal 21st century plantation. I am not just some articulate, clean, well spoken negro. I am an American warrior, Congressional candidate, and shall never submit to the collective progressive ideal of inferiority.

Senator Harry Reid's comments are disgusting, despicable, and unacceptable. They are representative of how intellectual elite liberals do indeed speak of black Americans in their closed private spaces. Next week I have been invited to NYC to address the Hudson Institute, a conservative organization, conference on "Reclaiming American Liberty". That invite came to me because I took advantage of the opportunities this great Republic offered. I followed the guidance of my parents and set my standards above all others around me. I speak well and have impeccable communicative skills because my Father and Mother prioritized that quality.

I shiver to think what my future could have been if I listened to the insidious rhetoric of charlatans such as Harry Reid, and the ambassadors of affirmative action who reside in the Congressional Black Caucus.

Sure, the "stuck on stupid" blacks are going to address me in derogatory names, but I possess something which they lack; Honor, Integrity, and Character. To them I say, continue to be slaves to the liberals for your vote... and in a year you will be calling me Congressman West.

Steadfast and Loyal,
LTC(R) Allen B West

Squelching Free Speech: Pissy Perez Hilton VS Miss California (Carrie Prejean)

Since when do we, as Americans, not have the right to voice an opinion? As much as gays have the right to state they should be able to marry, those who oppose the idea have as much right to disagree. This whole issue was thrown into the spotlight by one vicious, nasty little guy called Perez Hilton, who had the gall to ask beauty contestant Miss California, Carrie Prejean, what her beliefs were regarding gay marriage. First of all, what kind of baiting question is that? Second of all, she's entitled to her opinion, whether you agree or not, because this is a free country! Just because someone might not agree with gay marriage, and there are plenty of gay people who don't, does NOT mean one is anti-gay. She probably lost the title because of her answer.

Perez also took it upon himself to try and destroy a Florida photographer who emailed chastising him for the Miss California fiasco, by posting the email on his blog- address, phone number etc. Granted, the photographer's choice of words was very distasteful, but Perez had no right to publish that information.

His website got overloaded and crashed. And his email inbox filled up with hate mail. Someone wanted to burn his home. Someone else wrote about killing him and his family.

So, while people get bent out of shape because there are those who believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, where is the outcry regarding stories regarding the torture and murder of gays in the Middle East? There was a recent story about gay men in Iraq having their anuses glued shut, then being force-fed a liquid that causes diarrhea, which leads to eventual death. Shouldn't they be blogging about that?

Perez Hilton, and the like, are truly pathetic for their spitefulness and lack of priorities!

Tax Day Tea Party, April 15 2009!

I headed over to City Hall around 4:30 to meet some dear friends in from Los Angeles. Both Canadians, L became an American citizen a while back, but both L and P are more patriotic than some born and bred Americans I know. After coordinating at a parking lot, the 3 of us headed over to the main street where there were already hundreds gathered on either side of the main drag. Hard to estimate how many were gathered, but it seemed as if there were more than 1,000 spread along the staging area. Peaceful but enthusiastic, the crowd held a variety of signs and there were people from all ages and all walks of life. It was very heartening to see so many people out there protesting the excesses of government.

Many people tend to think that this was a partisan, conservative movement, but I know there were democrats and independents and republicans out there, sharing the sidewalk.

The TEA Party (taxed enough already) was created in response to a Congress and President who:

• vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?
  
• are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?
• consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?
• want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
• punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
• admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
• run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
• want government controlled health care?
• want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?
• refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?
• appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department?
• want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?
• want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels?
• want to reduce your tax detectability for charitable gifts?
• take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?

For more information here is the official Tea Party Day website. Hope you were able to participate at one in your state.

And Then There Were 14- Mother Of Octuplets Has 6 More At Home!

No wonder the California mother of octuplets refuses to reveal her identity, and any other information surrounding the multiple births. All that hoopla about 8 miracle babies has suddenly turned into a moral and ethical question of personal responsibility, or lack thereof. Why?

1. It turns out the thirty-something year-old mother is possibly single, living with her parents in a 3 bedroom house. There has been no mention of a father.

2. The grandmother, Angela Victoria Suleman, filed for bankruptcy last year. The grandfather, who is said to be an Iraqi national,(though that's not confirmed) is returning to Iraq as a contractor to help support the horde.

3. And the kicker? She also happens to have 6 other kids! 7, 6, 5, 3 and 2 year-old twins. (The woman has been busy!)

4. She underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF), and it's highly likely the twins were a result of fertility treatments, as well.

The whole ultra-bizarre situation begs for answers, which won't be forthcoming any time soon, as the family is asking for privacy.

But:

1. Where is the father?

2. Why is a young mother of 6 toddlers getting in vitro fertilization?

3. How could the fertility doctor, in all good conscience, even allow this young woman to undergo treatment in the first place; and why did they implant so many embryos when it's a danger to both mother and babies?

4. Who is going to take care of all those kids, and how are they going to support them? Taxpayers' money? The kindness of strangers? It's going to cost millions just for the bare necessities for the 8, let alone the 6 others. And the birthing and extended hospital stay (for the octuplets) is going to cost well over $1,000,000.00.

5. Are they going to cram all those 14 kids into 1 bedroom? The grandfather claims they have another large house somewhere (that he refuses to disclose), but is that true? And if not how are they going to manage? Aren't there legal issues regarding how many people can live under one roof?

6. How is she going to nurture, love and give enough attention to all 14?

7. What is wrong with this woman's parents?

8. What is wrong with her?

Frankly, I find the whole situation rather obscene.

UPDATE 1/31/09

This story gets more bizarre by the day. According to her mother Angela, Nadya Suleman (we finally have a first name), has been obsessed with having babies since she was a teen, and ALL 14 children were through in vitro! She is definitely not married, and has a degree in child and adolescent development. She is studying for master's degree in counseling. She also apparently had some psychological counseling of her own to deal with her obsession, which obviously did no good.

This young woman has major problems and has been failed by her parents, the psychologist, and the fertility doctors. Someone should have said NO, at some point. I feel sorry for those poor children!

Bad Boy Blagojevich Goes Bonkers

I can't decide whether Rod Blagojevich is incredibly stupid, supremely arrogant, totally nuts or all of the above. Maybe that mop of hair has somehow put too much pressure on his brain and he's just flipped out. But you have to admit, the Illinois Governor has been highly entertaining these past few months, since he was busted trying to sell Obama's vacant senate seat. He's run the gamut from denial to defiance to paranoia to outright lunacy.

He's been in denial since day one, and continues to be so. In a recent interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC'S Good Morning America, Sawyer asked Blago if he had done anything wrong. His response,

"Absolutely not and I'll have a chance in a criminal case to show evidence and bring witnesses. And this impeachment trial actually gives me an opportunity, if it was fair, if it allowed me to actually bring witnesses, to prove that the allegations are not true."

Does he truly think he will be exonerated when FBI wire taps have him saying things like

"I got this thing and it's bleepin' golden. I'm just not giving it up for bleepin' nothing.".

And, he claims the Illinois house is out to get him because he helped the people of Illinois.

"The causes of the impeachment are because I've done things to fight for families."

Huh? What delusional, paranoiac world is this man living in? But I guess he might as well chalk it up to some kind of conspiracy theory since he has no other leg to stand on.


His latest bizarro act is claiming he had considered offering the seat to Oprah Winfrey. How wacky is that?!

And it's not just trying to auction off the senate seat the man is guilty of. The Chicago Sun Times compiled the following list of transgressions:

1. Gov. Blagojevich plotted to auction off President-elect Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat for personal benefit.

2. Blagojevich tried to get members of the Chicago Tribune editorial board fired.

3. The governor signed a bill in exchange for a campaign contribution from the horse racing industry.

4. Blagojevich awarded a Tollway contract in exchange for campaign contributions.

5. The governor threatened to withhold reimbursements to hospitals and doctors in Illinois in exchange for campaign contributions.

6. The governor engaged in pay-to-play in making appointments, and plotted to award a state job to Ali Ata with the Illinois Finance Authority in exchange for campaign contributions.

7. The governor tried to award state contracts to Joseph Cari for campaign contributions.

8. Blagojevich attempted to exchange state permits for campaign cash.

9. The governor failed to abide by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and unlawfully expanded the FamilyCare program.

10. Blagojevich purchased additional flu vaccines without proper approval, making the sale illegal.

11. The governor attempted to import prescription drugs from Canada without consent of the Food and Drug Administration.

12. Blagojevich did not follow the appropriations process when he allocated money for the Agency Efficiency Initiative.

13. The governor violated both state and federal laws in the firing and hiring of various state employees.

That's some list of accomplishments!

As entertaining as this whole saga has been, I find the man incredibly distasteful. He looks like a a 2-bit thug, and you have to wonder how on earth did he manage to get elected Governor of Illinois not once, but twice!

If he had any shred of dignity he would have stepped down ages ago. And had he been a Republican, this prolonged circus act would have ended long ago.

Mess At The Mall And Monument After Inauguration

Ironic that all those lovely liberals left a pile of crap to be cleaned up once the hope, glory and change of Obama's inauguaration ended, costing the taxpayers plenty, with crews having to clean into the night. What happened to not trashing the planet?

Apparently the park service collects tons of trash daily from the Mall and the Monument, but one would think the Obamaniacs would know better.

Just because a liberal, Democrat was elected president, don't expect the government to pick up after you! Pick up after yourselves!

Adolf Hitler Taken From Parents Home In New Jersey

Yup, young Adolf Hitler (3) is alive and well and living in New Jersey with his parents. At least he was living with them until New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services removed Adolf and his other 2 siblings from their home- 1 year-old JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie who is 8-months-old. No reasons were given for removal. But N.G. Berrill (forensic psychologist) considers naming a kid Adolf Hitler child abuse. Which it is. Mind-pollution at its best.

"Part of it is the infantile nature of the parents’ behavior," Berrill said. "You can name your dog something weird, but they think they’re making some kind of bold statement with the children, not appreciating that the children will have separate lives and will be looked at in a negative light until they’re able to change their name. It is abuse."

Adolf Hitler? JoyceLynn Aryan Nation? Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie? (Supposedly named for Heinrich Himmler!)

The family made news last December when Shoprite refused to sell them a cake decorated with "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler". Heath and Deborah Campbell (the parents) were outraged. Daddy Heath complained that

"Other kids get their cake. I get a hard time. It's not fair to my children. How can a name be offensive?"

Though he claims he and his wife are not racist (yeah, right!) the house is filled with swastikas, Heath wears an old pair of boots belonging to a Nazi soldier, he doesn't believe the races should mix and he is a holocaust-denier. Papa Heath is also baffled why people are shocked by his son's name.

"They're just names, you know. Yeah, they (the Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They're not going to grow up like that."

This is a perfect example of why people should be given intelligence tests before being allowed to bear children.

Does Your Little Susie Really Need A Doll That Poops?

What happened to the simple things in life? I remember when I was growing up our toys consisted of plain old dolls, teddy bears, Legos and trucks. If you were a lucky boy, you might get a train set. A girl might get a fancy Barbie Doll, with all the requisite accoutrements. Now, kids demand (and get) X-Boxes, and dolls like Baby Alive, a supremely creepy doll that actually 'poops' and 'pees'. Manufactured by Hasbro back in 1973, they've brought the Baby Alive doll back, and it's supposedly more "life-like" than ever. You feed the doll a disgusting green concoction and it eventually comes out the other side. The same goes for drink. This incarnation of Baby Alive also talks, and says things like "Uh, oh, I made a stinky."

Apparently appealing to both girls and boys, it's the latest rage and stores are having a difficult time keeping it on their shelves, so the $39.99- $59.99 doll can cost as much as $109.00 on Amazon.com, for the African-American or Hispanic versions.

Why does a young child need to learn how to change a diaper? And whatever happened to make-believe? If we leave nothing to our children's imaginations, what happens to their imaginations? I also have to wonder if all these life-like baby dolls don't somehow contribute to our children having babies at early ages. If they are being given more life-like toys, won't they actually keep yearning for the real thing?

I don't have kids, but I can't help think this is so totally wrong.

Dolls that pee and poop? What next?!

Obamaniacs Vandalize Cars, Property and People

I have never seen an election polarize a country as much as this one. And frighteningly so. The other side seems to be taking things to the extreme.

I have friends who have been ostracized by Obama-lovers because they don't share the love. I've had friends lose work, for the same reason.

A man in Clearwater Florida, with a McCain/Palin and anti-Obama bumper sticker, had his 2006 Lexus vandalized. KKK was scratched into the paint, and a U.S. flag was burned into the car. And to add insult to injury, they apparently urinated on the car, as well.

A small, middle-aged woman with a McCain/Palin placard, in Manhattan, N.Y., was assaulted by a large man who went ballistic when he saw the signs.

In an Ohio nursing home, Edith Walker, a 73 year-old Democratic poll worker jumped on the back of 75 year-old George Manos and beat him on the head several times. This occurred after he accused her of ballot tampering when the person they were helping wanted to vote for McCain and Walker marked Obama.

York County, MD GOP headquarters were vandalized with "Republican Means Slavery". The idiots obviously don't realize it was the Republicans who ended slavery.

Also in Maryland, a Democrat who is voting for McCain had his RV spray painted with "Vote For Obama 2008". They also defaced his house, a truck cover, and a 2 x 8 foot sign.

A hotel in Maryland has received threatening calls since it put McCain/Palin signs on it's front lawn. Community leaders are recommending a boycott.

McCain/Palin signs are being stolen and vandalized all over the country. One man replaced his stolen sign with the following:

Although there are probably Obama signs being stolen as well (more likely in retaliation for all the McCain ones being filched), I have yet to see any violence perpetrated against Obama supporters by McCain supporters. And I can't imagine a McCain supporter rejecting a friend who happens to support Obama.

What happened to our freedom to vote for whom we wish, without being assaulted, threatened or blackballed, ostracized or have our property vandalized?

What has happened to this country?

ACORN and Voter Fraud- Or How To Steal An Election

Everyone who deserves to vote should have the right to vote, it is every citizen's inalienable right to do so. But there are some unethical and criminal types who seem to think it's okay to vote multiple times to ensure their particular candidate wins, and that's what ACORN is encouraging with their sketchy voter registration efforts. Whether they are directly complicit or not, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (better known as ACORN) is being investigated for voter registration fraud across the country, from Nevada to Ohio to Florida and everywhere in between. One of the major problems is that people hired by ACORN to register voters are being paid per name, and with quotas to fill, they'll do anything to get signatures, including bribing people who have already registered. One Ohio man, under investigation, was paid cash and cigarettes to register a whopping 73 times! Another Cleveland pizza delivery guy being questioned about the 10 to 15 times he registered to vote claims

he was approached multiple times by ACORN workers while sitting in a public square. He said the group's solicitors told him they were getting paid by the name to sign up voters. "I 'd be like, 'No, I'm already registered,'" Barkley said. "Then they just asked me again, like, 'I need a job, I'm just trying to hold on to a job. So would you sign it for me? I need 25 or more. I need a certain amount of them.' So me being the kind-hearted person, I say, 'Yeah.'

There are also reports of new registrations in dead people's names, and many with false phone numbers and addresses. A CNN video report (below) describes how at least 50 percent of the newly registered voters in one county alone were totally bogus.

ACORN seems unconcerned about all the allegations of voter fraud, and claim they are a non-partisan organization. However, they endorsed Barack Obama, and Obama's campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN to help with its primary 'get out the vote' registration drive. ACORN's emphasis is to get lower income citizens to vote, which is fine, but we know that they tend to vote Democratic. And, if the driving force behind this effort happens to have endorsed a Democratic candidate, odds are they will be pushing that candidate.

As much as ACORN (and the Democratic Party) swear they are not attempting to steal this election, it looks like it to me. I think they will do anything to get Obama elected, even if that means bribing people to vote, illegally. Voter registration fraud can potentially lead to election fraud, especially when the only states that require a photo I.D. to vote are -Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan and South Dakota . There's an emergency petition being circulated to require photo i.d.s to cast one's ballot. You can sign the online, emergency "voter identification" petition here.

We live in a democracy! One would think we were beyond voter fraud. What message do we send to the world at large, when we are just as guilty as some of those countries we've sanctioned for stealing elections.

There Is No Room For Differences In A Liberal World

Sunday, September 21st, a pro-McCain march though Manhattan. Oh yes, the Democrats are so inclusive and tolerant of others with differing opinions. Check out how disrespectful and hateful the liberals are to the peaceful marchers. Disgraceful
