Repeal The Arizona Immigration Law SB1070

May 05, 2010 By: twistedmuser Category: News

I think that Arizona Immigration Law SB1070 should immediately be repealed. I think that it is wrong that people should have to carry papers with them to prove they are legal and in America we should not have to do that. The Arizona state legislature should immediately do whatever it takes to repeal this law requiring enforcement of immigration rules.

Because I think that it is wrong to have to carry papers with you proving you are legal, I also think that laws should be passed immediately by Congress making it illegal to ask for my drivers license and boarding passes when I go to the airport. I find it highly offensive that I have to prove who I am before I am allowed past security gates. I also think upon reaching the gate, I should never be asked who I am either. This is also offensive.

While they are passing this law, they should also make it illegal for states to ask me for my drivers license and proof of insurance at insurance checkpoint roadblocks. It is extremely demeaning that I have to prove that I am who I say I am and that I actually do have insurance for my vehicle.

Of course, the law should also make sure that I don’t have to prove who I am when I am in a store or business writing a check or using a credit card. My word should be good enough that the check or card belongs to me. Make it illegal to ask for ID in a business. This would also include things such as will call tickets at a concert or ball game. Just give me my tickets. I don’t need to prove I am me.

I also think that the law should cover the workplace. No need to have to prove who I am. If I tell you that I have CPA credentials or I am qualified engineer, then by all means, just believe me. It might hurt my self esteem if you don’t believe me and make me fill out papers with proof of ID.

I hope by now you have figured out that I am being sarcastic with this article. I completely believe the law passed in Arizona was the right thing to do and I hope it is used by other states as a template to pass their own laws. Why should anyone her legally be worried about showing ID? If you have the legal right to be here, then prove it and move on. If you don’t have the legal right, well then stay where you came from. It’s actually quite simple.

I know that some people think that the law will be used to discriminate racially or ethnically. I don’t believe that at all. Will most people that get arrested for violations of the law be Hispanic? Probably! It’s a border state on our southern border. It doesn’t border France , it borders Mexico! It only stands to reason that people from Central America will be the ones trying to cross the border illegally. Profiling should not be considered illegal. Profiling is just what it says, looking for someone that fits a certain profile.

I hope that the Arizona legislature, the governor, and the citizens will stick to their guns and not let this law be repealed without a fight. I applaud and support them.

I prejudged President Obama!

November 18, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

Yes I must admit that I prejudged Barack Obama  when he was running for President. I assumed he would be bad for the country. I assumed he would be too liberal and would be too weak on defense.  I assumed he would spend too much money trying to  press liberal programs and pork projects upon us. I assumed all this and did not wait to see how he would do. So you see, I am guilty of prejudging. You should not prejudge people and that’s what I did. By now your assuming I have gone off the deep end huh? No, just because I prejudged doesn’t mean I was wrong!

He is guilty of all those things. The national debt has exponentially increased this past year and for what? Jobs saved or created? You mean the 30 jobs saved or created in Arizona’s 15th Congressional district? That sounds fine except for one thing….THERE IS NO 15TH DISTRICT! Or how about in Iowa, where $10.6 million was spent and 39 jobs created ….again in nonexistent districts!!! The best is in Connecticut’s 42nd district (which also does not exist), where 25 jobs were created with zero stimulus dollars!!!!

I’m not making this up…this is reported on the recovery.gov website which the Whitehouse setup for us to track how the money was being spent. You would think if they were going to lie about jobs saved (which has to be a lie because how do you count that) they would at least stick to real congressional districts!

Of course we were told that this money was needed to be spent in the first place because if we didn’t have the stimulus plan, our unemployment rate would reach 8 percent! Well maybe we shouldn’t have had the plan, because now it’s over 10 percent!

I’m sure that the administration will come up with a million reasons that these things were wrong…website numbers reported wrong and maybe a miscalculation on the effects of the recession causing unemployment to be higher than planned.  However one thing they cannot lie and try to wiggle out from is how they have changed the war on terror (the 9/11 commission called it that, along with numerous Republicans and Democrats) to a manmade disaster and now to criminal actions. Yes, the war on terror is over because now the White House says it’s not a war on terror,  it’s a crime committed against the people of the United States.  This is proven by their decision to send professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators to New York for trial in civilian court. Why would they ever think that this is a good idea? This is someone who has admitted guilt in planning the 9/11 attacks and has professed that they are at war against the United States. If anyone ever should be in a military trial, it should be him. Instead he is being sent to the scene of his attacks…oh sorry, “crimes” so that he can go on trial and have the full benefits that someone committing a crime in the United States would have. Will he be found guilty? Probably but it’s a court of law and you never know. Who thought OJ would be found not guilty, but look how that turned out. Even if he is found guilty, we will still have to sit through a media circus and listen to what will really amount to a trial against George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield, and our entire intelligence community. There is no good reason for this to be in a criminal courtroom…none!  As Senator Lindsey Graham of S.C said “We’re making bad history here,” Graham said. “The big problem I have is that you’re criminalizing the war. … I think you’ve made a fundamental mistake here.” In his own testimony Eric Holder said “I know that we are at war,” Well really Mr. Holder, if you think that, they why is the mastermind of the attack being tried in a criminal trial?

No what’s really criminal is the acts of this administration and hopefully they will be found guilty by the American people in 2010 and 2012 at the polls!

Obama, Carter, Kanye, Swift, and Joe Wilson. No lie!

September 16, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

Sorry for the lack of posts lately!I went on a short vacation and thought I would have Internet access, but turned out not to be the case.  Interesting past few days though.

According to Jimmy Carter, critisim of Obama is rooted in racism, not policy disagreement. So apparently, according to Jimmy Carter, I am a racist because I disagree with Obama because he is a black President, not because his policies are ruining this country. Our deficit is out of control, socialist policies are being implemented, and our nations defense is at risk. However, disagreement isn’t allowed on those grounds, because by doing so, you are marked as a racist.

I suppose with the same line of reasoning, I am a racist because I thought Kanye West was a jerk for interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV awards?  I was stunned when I saw that. I am not a Kanye fan and never will be. I don’t think he really is that talented outside of a studio engineered product. However, I also believe that everyone has their own likes and dislikes and that’s fine. However, he was a jerk for interrupting her speech. Thank goodness Beyonce salvaged it for Taylor by letting her share her time when she won an award. That was awesome.

Again on the topic of jerks, perhaps Representative Joe Wilson was being one for yelling “you lie” during the Obamacare speech last week, but was it of such importance to waste a day for the House to debate censering him? Good grief, they couldnt even get Barney Frank to vote yes on that one, though it did pass. For the record Joe, your statement was correct, if not ill timed!

Anyway folks, thanks for hanging in there with me! Won’t be a five day lapse again.

Kennedy ‘joked about Chappaquiddick’

August 30, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

This has got to be one of the most disgusting things I have read yet.

Read article from Biographer

It was bad enough that he left her behind to die, that he waited until the next day to report it, and that he had to come up with a story in order to save his career, but to make jokes about it! It was bad enough that people even make jokes about such a thing, but for the person who caused her death to ask for jokes is unconscionable!

But hey, he was a great man right, and I’m sure it will be said you had to hear it in context. NO! There is no context that allows that!

Idiots at the helm???

August 25, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

I’m sorry but there is no doubt in my mind that this White House is being managed by idiots!

Bigger Debt, Bigger Deficits…..Bigger Idiots!!!

These are the same people that said if the Stimulus didn’t pass, the economy would worsen and unemployment would go up to 8%!

Well guess what? the Spendulus pass, the economy worsened, and now they say unemployment will peak at 10%. I hope they don’t expect any sane people to listen to them, since they haven’t been right yet.

I mean come on, Post Office is broke, Social Security is broke, Medicare is broke..Obama could only sale his cars by giving them away, and then he managed to raise deficit further and mainly sold Japanese cars!

I guess I shouldn’t expect too much. I mean, his Vice President did say we had to spend more if we wanted to avoid bankruptcy!

People we have to wake up!! We have got to do something about this now at rallies and next Fall at the ballot box. If this plunge into Socialist Facism doesn’t end soon, then it will be decades before we recover…if ever.

I will be praying that the right thing happens.

What would they say if George Bush Did it?

July 30, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

Since George Bush is still being blamed for everything, even the things Obama said he would fix, I thought this would be appropriate. I dont need to say a whole lot. It speaks for itself. I found it floating about the internet, but it makes a lot of sense.

So what is an Approval rating anyway?

                If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special
                Olympics, would you have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and
                incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a
                thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing
                videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly
                narcissistic and tacky?
               
                If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you
                have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the
                non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a
                minor slip?
               
                If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with
                people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would
                you have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
                “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the
                fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried
                again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
               
                If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have
                hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof”
                of what a dunce he is?
               
                If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a
                single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
               
                If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying
                low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown
                Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you  have wondered   whether
                they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
              
                If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
                installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
                laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own
                and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
               
                If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
                throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than
                in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political
                issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
               
                If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major
                corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
                would you have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had
                taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you
                have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within
                10 years, would you have approved?
               
                If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM
                stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you
                have approved?
               
                If George W.. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take
                Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
               
                So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant
                and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all
                this in 5 months — so you’ll have three years and seven months to
                come up with an answer.

President Obama pays for healthcare with funds from mismanaged programs

July 23, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

Does anyone besides myself find it a little odd that President Obama says that he is going to pay for the national health care plan by reallocating funds that are being wasted in federal health care programs? Think about that one.  Yes, we are going to finance a new program with funds that are being wasted in other programs. Yet we are supposed to believe the government will get it right on this one? Personally I am somewhat leery of a government that has spent all of my social security with no plans on how to replace it, getting the health care program right. It appears that much of the country is starting to see this as his poll numbers are dropping, and contrary to Speaker Pelosi’s statements, they do not have the votes to push it through.  That became apparent with the decision to wait until the fall for a vote. I guess we will see if it happens then.

President Obama speaks of healthcare without knowing facts

July 22, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News, Uncategorized

Once again, President Obama speaks of facts without knowing facts. He even admits it….again. Yesterday he admitted he didn’t know what was in the House health care bill, after denying that it outlaws private insurance coverage.  Since it’s difficult to deny a bill does something while at the same admitting you don’t know what the bill says, doesn’t do much for your arguments credibility. Tonight, after continuing to spew the same misinformation about the health care bill, he ended the nonsense by talking about something else, in which he admitted he didnt know the facts.

Tonight he chose to talk about how “stupidly” the Cambridge police acted in the arrest of Henry Gates, a Harvard professor. Mr. Gates locked himself out of his house which we all have done at some point. However, most of us appreciate when the police are looking out for possible burgulars, and show up at our house. It has happened to me before, when I was loading personal belongings into a truck which I was taking to a charitable organization. Mr. Gates however, chose to get belligerent with the police, arguing with them, taunting them with names, and accusing them of racial profiling.  It’s a shame in this day and time, that that sort of behavior is tolerated, and even condoned by the American public and even the President of the United States. If one was of a suspicious nature, the thought might even occur that’s its just another way of talking about something besides a failing presidency and a health plan sure to bankrupt this country.

President Obama admits he is not familar with House bill?

July 21, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

If President Obama is not familiar with House bill and the Representatives are not either, who does know what is being passed? We have bills being rammed through that are thousands of pages long that Congress admits they have not read, and probably will not.

Obama is telling us publicly that we can keep our coverage, and keep our doctor, period. However, if he read the bill that is being presented, then he would know  this is not true. If he has read the bill then he is lying, because the bill will essentially run private carriers out of business. Why will they be run out of business? Because the regulations are going to be so extensive and restraining, costs will be driven up. The Heritage Foundation partnered with the Lewin Group and this is what they found.

  • Approximately 103 million people would be covered under the new public plan and, as a consequence, about 83.4 million people would lose their private insurance. This would represent a 48.4 percent reduction in the number of people with private coverage.
  • About 88.1 million workers would see their current private, employer-sponsored health plan go away and would be shifted to the public plan.
  • Yearly premiums for the typical American with private coverage could go up by as much as $460 per privately-insured person, as a result of increased cost-shifting stemming from a public plan modeled on Medicare.

President Obama, where is that promised transparency? Why won’t you tell us what it’s really going to cost!

Is Hillary Clinton serious?

July 18, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News

Who does she think she is kidding, going over to India and preaching to them about not following our mistakes in contributing to global warming. Does she and Obama seriously think that when we cause business here to shut down trying to following ridiculously strict emission laws, that India won’t be happy to step into that void. I expect they will and I don’t blame them.  Furthermore, I am sick of the entire administration running around the globe apologizing for us. Yes we have made mistakes, but we have also done great good throughout the world.  Enough is enough!

Obama’s solid transparency!

July 16, 2009 By: twistedmuser Category: News, Uncategorized

We were told among many other things that if he were to be elected, his administration would be transparent. Nothing behind the scenes, nothing hidden from us.

We were told that no lobbyists would be hired….didn’t happen. We were told there would be time for public comment on bills before being voted. Well we know that didn’t happen. We were told he wouldn’t sign legislation with earmarks. Now that’s a big one we know didn’t happen.

Now at the risk of being considered a nut, we also have the issue of never having seen a birth certificate. On the face that would seem to be a silly argument. But if it is, why does he try so hard not to show the certificate. It’s a piece of paper, and we all have one. Many times we all have had to use it for some type of identification be it job, driver’s license, passport, or social security purposes.

Recently as reported by Worldnetdaily.com, Major Stefan Frederick Cook was scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan. Major Cook insisted on seeing a certificate of live birth, in order to prove that the Commander in Chief was lawfully elected. Without a lawful Commander-in Chief, Major Cook was concerned that any order coming from Obama, would be an illegal order, and thus not covered by Geneva Convention protections. A hearing on the questions was scheduled for July 16 but instead, the Army revoked his orders. No explanation was given, only that he would not be going. One has to wonder why so much effort is put into preventing the simple act of showing a certificate of live birth.

In further developments in the case, the Pentagon has insisted that his employer fire him. His employer is Simtech, Inc, a Defense Security Services contractor. This seems to be a violation of The Whistleblower Protection Act and we will be watching to see what happens next.
