Stop Breaking Our Laws……….

That sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? If someone breaks into other people's houses and steals other people’s things…..if and when that person is arrested, eventually (we would hope ) they go to jail. The reason for being put in jail is to send a message to them that if you break the law, there is a penalty. It should also serve as a deterrent to other “potential” thieves, that if they do the same thing, they will end up in jail as well. Of course the same thing goes for other crimes....like murder, rape, tax fraud (strike that last one because Charlie Rangle and Timothy Geithner not only did NOT go to jail for it….they have very good government jobs…and BOTH of them have committed tax fraud)….so then….at least you have murder and rape. (Well again…on the whole rape thing….it’s of course, unless you are in Cleveland, Ohio…..your name is Norman Craig….you are charged with raping a 9-year-old girl…..the judge in your case is Judge Eileen Gallagher……and then of course, the prosecutor is late for court……THEN it seems, that you don’t have to go to prison for that either)

With that said….we DO for the most part, have a good legal system in our country. It is not perfect, but it is by far the most fair of any legal system in the world. So if we have laws, is it wrong to enforce them? What good does it do to have rules or laws that go un-enforced? It’s like parents who tell their kids not to do something and the kid goes and does it again. The parent AGAIN tells them not to do something, and AGAIN the kid does it again. At some point, unless the parent institutes some type of consequence for disobeying them….the child won’t do anything that the parent tells them to do. Why? The better question is “why should they?”…obviously nothing is going to happen.

Recently the state of Arizona passed a law that basically makes it illegal to do something that is already illegal, and in the short time since the law has passed, liberals have been coming out of the woodwork chastising Arizonans for being racists. The Arizona law falls WELL within the guidelines of the federal laws that are already in place. So why did they have to pass their own law if there was a federal law in place?…..Funny you should ask….Lean forward just a little bit….there, hold it right there. "ITS BECAUSE WE DON’T ENFORCE THE FEDERAL LAWS !!!"

Then you have people like Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner who apologizes in China, to Chinese officials, for the egregious behavior of the United States with regard to the Arizona law. Keep in mind that China is a country that has killed, what some estimates put as high as 78 million people through genocide, since 1958. Yeah, I can certainly understand apologizing to them. In addition, China ranks near the top of all the countries in the world when it comes to human rights violations. Although if they continue on the path that they have followed for decades….and then put in just a little more work….I’m sure that they can get to that coveted number one spot.

Then of course you have those two guys from Obama’s administration….Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano (awkward name for a guy, don’t you think?)…..who made public statements about how the Arizona law is unconstitutional…..how it will lead to racial profiling…..how it will be struck down by the federal government and on and on…..Only to find out that….(oopsie)…they never read the law. Seriously? You are really that stupid? You would speak out publicly against something that you don’t even know the facts on? (in their defense, their boss did the same thing regarding the arrest of his friend, Henry Gates. Obama’s statement regarding the arrest was….”I don’t know all the facts….but I think its fair to say….the Cambridge Police acted stupidly”). So based on that……I guess it is ok to make sweeping derogatory statements about things that you know NOTHING about.


But here is my biggest problem of all…..Mexican President Calderon. He came to the United States as a guest…..he was treated respectfully…..he was allowed to address the United States Congress….and of all the things he could have said (like "Thank you")…..he got up and trashed Arizona’s recent illegal immigration law.

Memo to President Calderon:

Before you came to the U.S. as a guest, and trashed Arizona's (Constitutional) ILLEGAL immigration law...First of all….did you bother to read it? (if not…I can tell you that there were at least two idiots...who were in the front row clapping for you....who didn't read it either). If you DID read it, you would have seen that it is specific in addressing a couple of your biggest concerns…..which leads me to believe that you did NOT read it. Secondly…..Why don’t you go back to Mexico and fix your own country, before you start trying to fix ours. If your country didn’t suck so bad (badly?), then we wouldn’t have YOUR people fleeing YOUR country by the millions trying to get to OUR country…..That in and of itself would be a HUGE step in fixing OUR problem. So shut up with the race-baiting. It is NOT racist for us to enforce our illegal immigration laws. A couple more things…..Why don’t you go read your country's laws regarding ILLEGAL immigration, and when our laws are as tough on offenders as yours are (and they should be)....then you can come back here and run your yapper. Until then...SHUT UP, GO HOME and fix your own country before you criticize the country that all your citizens are breaking laws to get into.

Lastly….to President Obama: please get some balls and tell that little twit Calderon to shut up. You have said nothing about his remarks…(Just a little side-note...when you refuse to respond to that kind of hateful, race-baiting rhetoric, it tends to indicate that you probably agree with what was said). I know that you go to foreign countries and apologize for the United States…..but could you at least not allow the President of a country, that is causing so much trouble in OUR country, say these type things to Congress and to people of the United States. That was shameful. Don’t you see that Calderon is part of the problem? Send him home….I also think it would be a great idea if maybe he could stop on his way out, and pick up 12-15 million of his fellow countrymen to take home with him. I don't believe that the people of the United States are a bunch of hillbilly racists.....I DO believe that what most Americans want....is for all of these people from other countries to simply stop breaking our laws. Then Again….That’s Just Me

"With All Due Respect……."

There is a statement that I really love to use……It follows a line of thinking that you can say almost anything, IF you preface it with these 4 little words.....Of course that statement would be….”With all due respect….”. It seems that once you say those magical words...any words that follow are simply fine. So for what I’m going to say today, let me preface it with “With all due respect…….”


When did the rules of life change? When did the idea of…"If you make a stupid decision, then you will suffer the consequences"…go away? Far too many people in our society have seemingly forgotten the crazy, old-fashioned concept of “personal responsibility". (You know the one where you have to answer for your actions) Instead, what we seem to have been teaching our kids for years now, is that…….

1) Everyone is a winner
2) You get a trophy even if you really suck
3) Keeping score is mean and unfair


The fact is this…..In life…EVERYONE is NOT a winner….you don’t really get a trophy if you really SUCK at what you do…..AND how in the heck else will you know when you win if you don’t keep score? That concept doesn’t work for sports…..and it sure doesn’t work for real life (no matter what “progressives” try to tell you).


If you skipped school….didn’t study….took the very basic classes, in order to JUST get a diploma OR you just got tired of going…so you dropped out…..Do you really think that you are entitled to everything that the person who went to school, studied hard…and then, even though it was difficult, they graduated, maybe went on to college and then busted their butt in order to succeed…is enjoying? If you do….then I would guess that you are in the first group…..and reality is this: It probably sucks to be you, as well it should.


With that said……Are we seriously considering "bailing out" Greece now? Let's see.....they have government entitlement programs out the ying-yang (that’s the medical term…seriously look it up)....and now they are wondering why they are broke...Are we saying that no one saw this one coming? Here is a country where you can retire at 53 years old, and still get 80% of your working income. Can we not see how that MIGHT have turned into a financial train-wreck?


And with THAT said....We cannot afford our own entitlement programs that are already in place HERE….so we certainly cannot afford to "prop up" the failed system of another country. You think that's stupid?....Hold on....because here’s an idea that is even dumber than that of us “bailing out” Greece…..Although we are looking at their example of how to take a country into complete and utter financial failure, we are trying to implement the same type of failed policies under the Obama/Pelosi/Reed regime.....AND even dumber yet (if that is possible) WE expect the outcome to be different. I guess the statement that I heard recently, from an old friend from High School, is true….”There isn’t a pill for stupid”. (Thank you Martha)


It seems that there are actually people who think that the ultimate societal outcome, would be one in which....no one works...everyone is rich....we don’t produce anything, we are only consumers.....and our Republic goes away…and we buy into the ridiculous idea of living under a "benevolent dictatorship". (an oxymoron at best) If you are in the group of people who really believes that crap, then let me say this as kindly as I can...."You Are An Idiot....get off of your (fill in blank), go get a job and stop whining about everyone else....take responsibility for your own actions....I DO NOT owe you anything...AND there will come a time when I will NOT continue to allow you to take what is mine"……Of course remember, I did preface all of the above with the phrase..."With All Due Respect....."....so it's ok...right? Then Again….That’s Just Me
