Hillary Clinton, unable to debate the Illegal Immigration, calling names

www.nicholsoncartoons.com.auWe remember arguments when we were children. Whenever one side starting losing the battle name calling would become the primary defense. Liar, Liar Pants on fire! Fatso, ugly, stupid, dummy are just a few the defense mechanisms employed regularly by children. But what do we do when a Presidential candidate starts calling names?

Hillary Clinton cannot defend her position of Amnesty for criminal aliens so what does she do? She attacks one of the mouthpieces for the majority of Americans.

“We cannot fix the problem by blowing hot air like some TV commentators.”

Obviously fixing the problem for Ms. Clinton means throwing up your arms and submitting to the will of millions of criminals. Extrapolating this would mean that if 20 million Americans decided it was ok to hold up a bank for money, Ms Clinton would want to fix the problem by making it legal for any American to walk into a bank and demand money. It is also obvious that our prisons could not hold another 20 million Americans so we also need to pardon all those who had committed the crime in the past. We could call it Comprehensive Monetary Distribution Reform.

Ms. Clinton’s position for Amnesty is not defendable because these individuals have broken the law. There is no discussion. Whether or not we think the law is stupid, these individuals are criminals. Ms. Clinton would do better to say as much. Her statement could be, “These individuals are criminals. Our future policy will open the US borders removing Homeland Security controls. In light of our removing VISA and Immigration regulations these individuals no longer should be prosecuted since we no longer have immigration legislation.”

Stating that any individual “blows hot air” is childish. More importantly Ms. Clinton is a successful lawyer. I doubt that she would use such rhetoric when arguing before a Judge. This can only means that she believes Americans are childish or of limited cultural capabilities. When thinking about who will lead us into the serious changes of the next 10 years, we must consider these things. Do we really want someone as President that may respond, during a world wide crisis, “don’t listen to them, they are ugly.”

Steven Colbert withdraws Presidential Bid

Steven Colbert has decided not to run for president of the United States following the refusal of the State of North Carolina to put him on the Democratic Ballot. The Democratic Party lobbied the State adamantly to refuse Mr. Colbert’s nomination on the ballot. Their reasoning, “We do not want to make a mockery of this sacred institution.” Aside from the fact that Mr. Colbert would have received a tremendous number of votes the reasoning indicated by the Democratic Party is absurd. Mr. Colbert cannot make a mockery of our political process, THE POLITICIANS HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT. Votes for Mr. Colbert would have indicated the disdain that US citizens have for our politicians. Considering that a recent CNN Poll indicated that 87% are angry about how our country is being governed it is highly probable that Mr. Colbert would have won the State.

Mr. Colbert’s decision to run was a ray of hope in the tempest that is America’s immediate future. New blood without ties to corporate America is our best chance at mitigating the total economic collapse the direct result of thirty years of the disastrous economic policy known as Reaganomics. Mr. Colbert, please consider running as an independent. The Democrats and Republicans are all the same. They are simply corrupt members of the “Good ole boys club.”

Obviously all the “Good ole boys” are saying that we must not change things. We need the dynasties. We must favor corporate greed and ask more sacrifices of our working citizens. We need open borders. We must eliminate quality and safety controls on products from other countries. It may have been ok to attempt this new economic plan but after 30 years it is time that we take account of our economy and the status of the United States. Only an outsider can do this.

Please, Mr. Colbert, run as an Independent. We need change and our current political system will only allow for this to come from someone who has name recognition for other reasons.

Time to Change – Eliminate all Incumbent Politicians

Today I suffered through a couple of hours of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifying to Barney Franks and the House Financial Services Committee. It was evident that the current administration is beginning to talk about how bad the US economy really is as they prepare for a change in the Whitehouse in the next elections, but that is another story. Listening to the representatives speak evidences that career politicians talk in sound bites and do not have the mental capability to support a single argument.

A Latino representative, I could hardly understand his English, asked about outsourcing of American jobs. He blamed the Republicans for allowing corporate America to drive down wages. He then moved immediately to ask what would happen to the US economy if all the illegal immigrants were sent home. He wanted Bernanke to say, “Sending all of the illegal immigrants home would destroy the US economy.”

Bernanke simply indicated, “Dislocations of resources would be the result.”

His answer should have been, “Reduced labor against stable demand would raise wages and benefits for the workforce!”

The real sad point, one that makes me think we must eliminate politicians and replace them with normal people who have no political experience, is that Bernanke is politically correct. If he had responded as an economist, the reason for which he was appointed as Federal Reserve Chairman, our Latino Representative would have looked like an idiot because in one breath he wants to protect the American worker. His very next breath is used to support open borders which reduces wages, benefits and working conditions for American workers.

A black representative, I believe we are still allowed to use the adjective black, asked a question about inequality. He wanted to know why blacks have twice the unemployment rate as whites. He said the game was stacked against blacks since to make it in today’s world you must have a college degree. If you are poor a college degree is 10 times harder than if you are a little white girl whose daddy is going to take out a loan on the house to pay for her college.

The representative surely was promoting some legislation to give more money to black students. This is stupid because it will only pass if you get a lot of white guys to vote for it.

Why is this representative not taking on the real problem?

Why do students have to pay to go to school?

Consider that even Ethopia offers free University education. If we want to create equal opportunity we must have free healthcare and free University for all, not just some group. Singling out a group of individuals increases dependence on the welfare state. We should not be latinos, blacks, whites, etc. We should be Americans. Our representatives, even if they speak Spanglish, should represent this country, as a whole, in good faith.

WE THE PEOPLE must take back our country. We must vote out of office all incumbent politicians. We must eliminate the Electoral College. We must institute national referendums. We must have a way to make our government fail when it no longer represents the people’s wishes. We must eliminate lobbies.

Democrats want a Moratorium on Pork Spending?

I cannot believe it. I actually have found something good to say about politicians. Can you believe it the Democrats are talking about banning pork for a short period of time while they look at Lobby Reform. I am all for rewriting legislation on lobbying. I would take away its current legal status, after these are just bribes.

My immediate question is why have our elected representatives thought that this should just be a moratorium? I have seen some of the initial thoughts on what lobby reform means for the incoming congress and it is simply a more defined license to take bribes. Our representatives get paid enough to pay for their own lunches. Ask Joe worker if he is willing to buy his own meals and pay for his own vacations if he makes more than $150K a year plus medical, dental and a pension plan that will not be “fixed” after paying into it for his entire life.

I was not born yesterday. I am certainly skeptical regarding their intention to actually do something that will help this nation. Perhaps it is just a marketing ploy. Perhaps they intend to stop studying lobby reform and not tell anyone so the pork starts again while the country thinks they are fighting excessive spending. I do not know but it is a step in the right direction and we need to let our representatives know that we appreciate them actually doing what they were elected, and are paid, to do.
