ALIPAC President William Gheen demands FBI protect him from Google and others "out to get me"

Once again, ALIPAC President William Gheen’s paranoia is getting the better of him, this time accusing Google Inc., some of it’s employees and other persons unknown of conspiring to restrict his 1st Amendment rights to display his hate speech on Youtube. And, he is demanding that the FBI and Congress get involved. Gheen wants – “all members of the media and activist supporters are asked to report and distribute this information which will serve as a warning to others.”  We’ll help Willy out this one time as we watch his hateful little group of nativists and bigots slip further into obscurity. According to Gheen. Google Inc. gave an illegal immigration supporting activist access to the popular YouTube account of the MORE

 
Education excellence in Arizona - School kids pose with bullet riddled image of President Obama

Why am I not surprised at this, from a state who has a shrewish wingnut for a Governor, a Neo-Nazi wanting to be Sheriff of Pinal County and a flaccid ass fool for a Sheriff in Maricopa County who has one foot in the Federal pen and the other on a banana peel! Stephen Lemons, the respected columnist at Phoenix New Times reports on a photo that appeared on the Facebook page of a sergeant in the Peoria (Az) Police Department, Pat Shearer. The photograph showed seven casually dressed young punks, four of whom clutched weapons and one of whom held up a T-shirt covered with small holes and gashes and bearing a likeness of Mr. Obama above the word MORE

 
Arizona Gov Jan Brewer shows her lack of class in airport confrontation with President Obama

She’s a joke and an embarrassment to the great State of Arizona. Jan Brewer, Arizona’s GED bearing governor greeted President Barack  Obama on the tarmac of  the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport with in your face anger and finger pointing in front of the assemblage of local mayors and other dignitaries. Looking like she was dressed for an afternoon at a local bar, Brewer tried to give the President a personal letter inviting him to take a tour of the border and to discuss Arizona’s mythical crime and illegal immigrant invasion. Perhaps she even wanted to show him some of the “headless corpses” she maintains turn up on a regular basis. We don’t know though because her office declined to release a copy, saying MORE

 
Four Lives Lost - The innocence and wrongful convictions of 4 Texas woman

San Antonio, Texas – In September 1994 allegations of aggravated sexual assault on a child were brought against Elizabeth Ramirez (19) and three of her friends – Anna Vasquez (19), Cassandra Rivera (19) and Kristie Mayhugh (21). The complainants in the case were nine-year-old V.L. and seven-year-old S.L., nieces of Elizabeth Ramirez. The girls claimed that on two successive days during a week-long visit with their aunt Elizabeth, she and her three friends held them down and sexually assaulted them. Elizabeth Ramirez was tried in February of 1997 and sentenced to 37-and-a-half years. In February of 1998 the other three women were tried together and sentenced to 15 years for the same alleged crimes. No physical or corroborating evidence was MORE

 
Good Immigration Policy, on Hold - Time for some good old fashion union busting!

Last summer the Obama administration announced an overdue change in the way it catches and deports illegal immigrants. The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, said the agency would focus more heavily on deporting convicted criminals and other high-risk offenders, making noncriminals a lower priority. The new strategy did not extend forgiveness or legal status to any illegal immigrants. But it did promise to halt the deportations of many thousands of people — those with clean records and strong ties to the community and who posed no threat, including the elderly, military veterans, college students and parents of young children. Instead the agency would go after convicted criminals, gang members, those who had repeatedly crossed the border illegally MORE

 
SMACKDOWN - Efforts to repeal California DREAM ACT fails

It’s been a bad week for California Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-San Bernadino), the only tea bagger, Minuteman border vigilante and white nationalist currently in the California Assembly. The LA TIMES reported anti-immigrant factions reported Friday that they were unable to obtain the needed 500,000 petition signatures to ask voters to repeal the California Dream Act. The two-part measure, which allows undocumented immigrants access to both public and private financial aid at UC and Cal State campuses and at community colleges, was signed into law last year by Gov. Jerry Brown. Donnelly, in an email to supporters, said the failure was,  ”disappointing news.” Two days earlier,  Donnelly, a vociferous gun advocate was arrested at the Ontario International airport for trying to take a loaded handgun MORE

 
US Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donahue calls for common sense immigration reform

(CNSNews.com)– Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the estimated 12 million aliens working illegally in the United States should somehow be made “official” by the government so they can continue to work, but not automatically “make them citizens.” Donohue made his remarks during a press conference following his speech on Thursday at a State of American Business 2012 event in Washington, D.C Donahue was asked, “You mentioned in your speech the importance of immigration on the economy and economic growth and I wondered if you would expand and tell me what the Chamber thinks should be done this year as far as immigration reform goes?” Donohue answered by talking about unfilled jobs in America MORE

 
DOJ - President Obama's recess appointments are constitutional

President Obama’s decision to issue recent recess appointments is constitutional, because recent pro forma sessions of the U.S. Senate — some lasting just a few seconds — didn’t constitute legitimate sessions that could block such appointments, the Justice Department said in a memo released Thursday. The DOJ conclusion reads; In our judgment, the text of the Constitution and precedent and practice thereunder support the conclusion that the convening of periodic pro forma sessions in which no business is to be conducted does not have the legal effect of interrupting an intrasession recess otherwise long enough to qualify as a “Recess of the Senate” under the Recess Appointments Clause. In this context, the President therefore has discretion to conclude that the MORE

 During a campaign stop in New Hampshire last week, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney casually mentioned his father was born in Mexico, a part of his life that he wasn’t really discussing until he realized it was time to get the Latino vote. Romney’s grandfather fled to Mexico to avoid anti-polygamy laws and that’s one of the complaints from Mexicans to Romney: Mexico opened its doors to your ancestors but you oppose immigration reform in the United States? Watch the video and meet Romney’s primos.

 
Mitt Romney's alignment with White Nationalists assures loss of Hispanic vote

You have to love the GOP and their apparent standard-bearer for 2012, Mitt Romney. Apparently he thinks that pandering to the nativist and White Nationalist in this country will give him the votes he needs to defeat President Obama in November. However, political experts acknowledge that for that to happen, the GOP would need at least 40% of Hispanics votes. Thanks to Romney’s acceptance of Tantonian Kansas Secretary of State and anti-immigrant restrictionist  Kris Kobach, that is highly unlikely to happen. Kris Kobach is the architect of the draconian and Constitutionally suspect anti-immigration laws such as Arizona’s SB-1070 and copy cat laws in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and other states. All which are being challenged in the courts. As David Leopold recently MORE
