POPSObama vs. America Now we have a government that wants to baby-sit us and make all of our decisions for us. I guess some people need that--mainly the people who voted to put these charlatans in office. It’s high time that those people learned to stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves. We cannot afford, nor do we want, to be their babysitters any longer. The whole purpose of the Constitution is to define the federal government and to establish a separation of powers between federal authority and the states. That is why the enumerated powers specified in Article 1, Section 8 were then reinforced with the 9th and 10th Amendments, to make the federal limitations perfectly clear to anyone reading the document.

POPSSwat Team for Change Upon hearing the disturbing news, America's ''Swat Team for Change"--President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid--immediately convened an emergency meeting in the basement of the White House to discuss this new economic catastrophe and to develop an effective counter strategy. A ''War room" was set up to meet the challenge that could destroy the Obama presidency. Speaker Pelosi was quoted as saying, "Living to be 78 is un-American! Old people are doing this because they are racists who hate our black president!" Harry Reid was a tad more optimistic when he said, "This war is NOT lost. America needs a surge in the mortality rate among people aged 55-78, and we intend to implement such a surge in bill 3200." President Obama was shooting hoops and not available for comment.

POPSIllegal immigration costly to nation Illegal immigrants who would be legalized under an amnesty program are typically low-skill workers. According to 2007 statistics, low-skill illegal immigrants on average receive $3 in government benefits for each dollar of taxes paid, a net imbalance of costs to U.S. taxpayers of $89 billion per year. Over a lifetime, the typical low-skill illegal immigrant household costs the taxpayers $1.2 million. The cost of amnesty alone would reach $2.6 trillion once the recipients reach retirement age. With the federal debt at $10.7 trillion at the start of 2009, now is not the time to allow individuals who have not paid into the system access of the benefits of America's welfare system.

POPSFeds rule change could nix Sheriff Arpaio’s immigrant sweeps That could allow the White House to derail Arpaio’s immigration enforcement actions, which have been made through a federal partnership that trains deputies to enforce immigration laws and pick up illegal immigrants. The sheriff also conducts workplace and drop-house raids under state laws. The MCSO has had an immigration enforcement agreement with the feds since April 2007 The sheriff was not sure whether the federal government would maintain its agreement with the MCSO. If it does not, he said the feds will have to take over the processing and detention of some of the illegal immigrants picked up in the Phoenix area. Napolitano also said Friday that federal rules regarding local police picking up illegal immigrants would be changed to focus on arresting those charged with violent and serious crimes.

POPSHow to ignore immigration laws How many jobs would open up for Americans who are unemployed if ICE raided and deported all illegals found in this country? Unfortunately it takes a bad turn in the economy before some recognize the good points of enforcing our immigration laws.

POPSWant to Rile the Right - Lie your ass off! Obama is a lying SOB. His DSH sec is a clueless sack of rotten potatoes who was hand-picked to add to the voter registration rolls - illegal aliens. Now Obama and Sec. Napolitano suggest citizens who simply are fed up with lossing our souveignty, massive government spending, higher taxes and massive debt and hyper inflation - are now no better than the damn terrorists who brought down the WTC towers. What a slap in the face of Americans by a disgusting President, his administration and Congress.

POPSObama, Congress Again Push Amnesty for Illegal Aliens The U.S. House's judiciary committee also plans to hold a hearing next month on the allegations against Arpaio. "The Obama Administration and members of the US Congress are conspiring to stop and silence those in law enforcement who do not share their liberal viewpoint regarding illegal aliens. Don't be surprised to see American citizens as well being dragged into courtrooms because they oppose illegal aliens being given amnesty," warns Det. Frances. "These liberal-left fanatics want to replace American citizens -- who won't buy their ideology -- with Third-World peoples who don't even understand what's happening to this country," he said.

POPSEarmarks of Scandal There’s plenty of questions to answer. The firm was led by Paul Magliocchetti, a former appropriations staffer and Murtha protégé who wined and dined his former bosses and comrades with abandon. These raucous dinners and big expense-account tabs should be vetted for ethics violations. Of course, it didn’t stop with steaks and fine wines. PMA funneled more than $40 million in donations to members of Congress since 1998, including $2.4 million to Mr. Murtha and $7.8 million to members of his committee. Congress, in turn, rewarded PMA clients with rarely debated earmarks. Last year, the firm was able to marshal more than 100 lawmakers to earmark $300 million in contracts for the lobbyist’s clients. Ms. Pelosi cannot ignore this sorry churn of taxpayer money. Newcomers and moderates are right in warning that if the House majority doesn’t police itself, it will lose credibility all the way to the next election.

POPSGov. Jan Brewer asks for federal troops “Arizona communities and citizens are negatively affected by the impacts of the illegal drug trade and related border violence, and enforcement agencies in all jurisdictions are stretched as they attempt to address the enormity of the problems,” Brewer said Wednesday. “Our citizens must be protected from border violence. Arizona and other U.S./Mexico border states continue to be confronted by a number of unique and disproportionate challenges relative to other states and we bear significant unreimbursed costs in the public, nonprofit and business sectors associated with border related challenges.” But Hey! the border is a long way from the White House now isn't it...

POPSDear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate taste. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can have those. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. And since you hate guns and you hate war, we'll take the firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. But you are going to be responsible for finding a biodiesel vehicle big enough to haul them around. We'll keep the capitalism, the greedy corporations, the pharmaceutical companies; we will keep Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have the homeless, the homeboys, the hippies and illegal aliens. We will keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, the greedy CEOS and all of the rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and we'll let you have NBC and Hollywood.

POPSRNC to File FEC Complaint on Obama The Newsweek report says that earlier this year the Obama campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought T-shirts in bulk from the campaign's online store -- purchases that count as campaign contributions. The brothers had listed their address as "Ga.," which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza. At the heart of the RNC complaint is a federal fundraising rule that lets campaigns accept donations under $200 without itemizing the names and addresses of the donors on its campaign finance reports. The rule was intended as a matter of practicality -- it did not seem reasonable to ask a campaign to gather that information from every five-dollar donor. But the Obama campaign has raised more than $200 million this way, a staggering sum for donations that will not be subjected to outside scrutiny.

POPSNigeria police seize funds allegedly raised for Obama The amount raised sparked widespread public outrage in Africa's top oil producer, where the majority of the people live on less than $2 a day, prompting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to launch an investigation. The commission said it would work out how to share the money among those who paid to participate in the event. Okereke-Onyiuke said in a full-page statement in Nigeria's Guardian newspaper on Aug. 21 that the dinner had never been intended to raise funds for Obama, but to sensitize and mobilize Africans worldwide.

POPSIllegals shock, suffocate, slit throats in U.S. Crime creeping across U.S. border The drug-related murders came on the heels of recent reports of tightened U.S. security along the Southern border as cartels send murderers-for-hire into the U.S. Last week, Texas and New Mexico authorities reported a hit list identifying 15 to 20 targets in the two states alone. Illegal immigrant violence has claimed the lives of many Americans. As WND reported earlier, MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, a highly organized and well-funded Central American gang, has infiltrated at least 33 states across the U.S., according to law-enforcement authorities. The gang is well-known in Los Angeles, Houston, New York and Washington, D.C., for excessive brutality. Any person suspected of cooperating with authorities is hunted down, tortured and killed. Initiation rites include kickings, beatings and gang rapes.

POPSRelatives of illegal immigrant seek review of his death The underlying dispute over Pantaleon's care at UIC touches on two hot-button issues: Immigration and health care. With the exception of pregnant women, some children and people in medical emergencies, illegal immigrants generally have no right to health care in the U.S. But access to long-term care—the kind of services Pantaleon appeared to need—is not guaranteed even if the patients are U.S. citizens, with the exception of the very poor. = translation - sue the gringos....for violating his rights of being an illegal alien.

POPSExpedited Trials of Illegal Immigrants Questioned Homeland Security and Justice Department officials credit the new aggressive tactics with deterring border crossings. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee accused Democrats of caring more about illegal immigrants than the American workers whose jobs they take. "The more the administration tries to do its job . . . the more they are criticized for enforcing the law," said Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.).

POPSItaly declares state of emergency over immigration
The Italian government called a state of emergency with a wave of refugees in 2002 and it was renewed annually - even under the centre-left government of Romano Prodi. As the intake centres in February 2008 seemed sufficient, the Prodi government limited the emergency measures to the three southern regions of Calabria, Sicily and Puglia. The Berlusconi government at the behest of the Interior Ministry has now widened the powers to the entire country. Warning of the introduction of a "police state," the country's opposition attacked the measures sharply, calling them abhorrent. "Italy does not need inhuman and extraordinary measures," said parliamentarian Rocco Buttiglione, the Turin-based newspaper La Stampa reported on Saturday. In response, Maroni criticised what he claimed was the opposition intention to make the state of emergency seem like an entirely new development, and called the opposition position "the worst Italian politics." The Interior Minister is to face Parliam

POPSpresidential candidates must confront illegal ... The bottom line is America has over 12 million immigrants here illegally. Much of the rest of the population has the perception they are bearing the burden for the health care, education, and crime of those who are here illegally. They want something done about it, now! Whatever is keeping candidates unplugged to the number one issue uniting the nation, they best turn off whatever oddity they’re tuned into and face the crowd staring them down. If they don’t start acting like leaders and address this issue with debate in a civilized manner the rest of us may need to brace for demonstrations that just might get ugly.

POPSMy eyes have seen conning of the law The Taneytown City Council met Monday night to discuss a plethora of issues, but it was Councilman Paul L. Chamberlain Jr.'s Resolution No. 2007-23 that garnered most of the attention - and discussion. Chamberlain's resolution would have declared that Taneytown is not a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants. The resolution would have declared that, if it had passed. But Taneytown's five-member City Council chose another option. They chumped out. By a vote of 3-2, Chamberlain's resolution was shot down like a convict making a break for the outer gate of a penitentiary. Just when you thought the days of interposition and nullification were over, they rear their heads again in the matter of illegal immigration. But instead of Southern governors, mayors and legislators invoking those doctrines to defend segregation, we have advocates for illegal immigrants invoking them because they find immigration laws inconvenient for those who either come to or remain in America illegall

POPSIllegal immigration can't be ignored The illegal immigration issue is hugely important to the American middle class who are overwhelmingly opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants. Amnesty, or whatever term the politicians choose to call it, would amount to an insult to immigrants who came here legally and obtained their citizenship in the traditional manner, as did our ancestors. In addition it is the middle class who are paying for the illegal aliens who are receiving free medical care in the emergency rooms of our hospitals, free public education for their children, free police and fire protection, and welfare services. I can understand why Bush, ever the servant of the wealthy and big business, would welcome open borders and a never ending supply of cheap labor. After all, cheap labor means lower labor costs and fatter profits. But why do liberal politicians think that cheap, exploitable labor is good for this country? Are there any politicians out there willing to represent the middle class?

POPSRepublican candidates sought to embrace Hispanics If legal hispanics want open borders, letting millions more illegals in, then they make themselves part of the problem, not any solution. McCain's remarks are akin to buying votes, appease the hispanic voters or we'll lose them, well John if we appease them and open our borders we lose our country. We may lose the country anyway but hell let's at least take a shot at trying to save it.

POPSNY'ers do understand what illegal immigration means By trying to imply that New Yorkers do not know the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, Mr. Hung shows his ignorance of the subject and facts. How many of the 340,000 foreign-born that hold top jobs in New York worked in stone quarries, or held jobs cleaning New York's hotels and motels; and how many of the 35 percent doctors stated in the article, held landscaping jobs? The difference Mr. Hung does not get is that people in New York and across the United States know that this country was built by immigrants. They are welcome here as long as they come into this country the same way our forefathers did, legally and by not wanting to jump to the head of the line. It is the illegal immigrants who drain our health system, overtax our school systems, only to send their money out of the country. Yes, they are hard-working -- we understand that -- and, yes, they do jobs we Americans will not do for unfair pay so a employer can increase his or her bottom line.
