Obama: Republicans Want a 'Moat' With 'Alligators' on the Border - President Obama - Fox Nation

Obama: Republicans Want a 'Moat' With 'Alligators' on the Border - President Obama - Fox Nation



Excuse me Mr. President.... You have not done everything to secure the borders! The border fence is less than complete. Border Patrol is still vastly undermanned and equipped. How do you stop illegal immigrants when agents are armed with bean bag rounds and the illegals have lethal firearms sold to them courtesy of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco? Over 3000 firearms sold to gunrunners upon the authorization of the BATF have been used in crimes in the United States against our citizens. These very same firearms were sold under Project Gunrunner and several other project names run by the BATF. That program, whether poorly or criminally run was intended to stem the flow of illegal immigrants and drug dealers into the United States.



So no, Mr. President, our borders are not secure. Rather than pandering to your special interest groups such as La Raza and the Unions, why not visit the ranchers and homeowners who lost family members and friends to the criminal acts of illegals and drug dealers? Do you really want to be face to face with the families and co-workers of the Immigration, Border and BATF Agents killed or injured by these criminals? Are you willing to help pay the tab for enforcement, prosecution and incarceration for these border states? I thought not!



We do thank you for the idea of building a mote and we have here in South Carolina a very hungry breed of American Alligator which would be ideal to stock it with. It just might be cheaper than the fence, less costly to maintain and I know of whole neighborhoods in the South willing to stock it for free.

Will you help advance the fight or sit home?

This coming Tuesday, May 7th our battle to advance the Conservative Cause in the US House of Representatives continues with the Special Election in South Carolina District 1.  The candidates are Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch and Republican Mark Sanford.  The decision should be clear, but the waters have been muddied by main stream media and political pundits.

There is no reason the Libertarians, Independents, Conservatives and Republicans shouldn't get behind Mark Sanford, but we seem to need to bring Republicans to the polls kicking and screaming.  Let's see if we can calm these temper tantrums and speak logically and bring it down to six main points, they are:

1. Mark Sanford did not get the support of the National Republican Congressional Committee which dates back to 1866.  This first and foremost should be the reason we must support and vote for him.  He is not a Washington insider, but he knows Washington as well as they do and they fear him.  He makes the RINO's (Republican In Name Only) apocalytic! He will make enemies, but when he joins forces with Mick Mulvaney and Trey Goudy, they will weld a powerful block of power on behalf of the 1st District in Congress.
2. Mark Sanford has garnered the endorsement of Rand Paul and other conservative leaders and groups.
3. Mark Sanford has a proven track record as a fiscal conservative.  He angered the RINO's in the State House by challenging them to cut pork from the state budget by showing up with the two piglets "Pork" and "Barrel".  Yes, it was a publicity stunt, but he poignantly got the point across.  You have to love his originality and courage to buck the "Old Boy's Network".  His ability to tangle with the RINOs in this state's Congress helped South Carolina rein in a runaway budget and enact state legislation to prevent and hinder Federal intrusion.  It speaks volumes.
4. Yes, Ethic Violations were leveled against Governor Sanford.  However, he publicly stated, that in line with his fiscal conservative policy, he would not fight the charges, in order to save the State the cost of a trial and to avoid unnecessary extended publicity.  The charges were neither proven or disproved.  Which would you have preferred? A protracted drawn out public media circus over a trial  at great taxpayer expense? Or a swift end of the incident with repayment of all budget expenses and fines, which enabled our elected officials to continue to concentrate of the budget and pending legislation.
5. Yes, Mark Sanford had an affair. If having an affair was criminal, half of the married couples would find their spouse in jail.  He has been compared to Bill Clinton by his opponent who inferred he should have been impeached.  We are talking apples and oranges.  Mark Sanford sinned, but he did not commit a crime.  Bill Clinton, not only sinned, he committed a crime. President Clinton was impeached for the criminal act of lying under oath.  He was found guilty of perjury.  Mark Sanford did not perjured himself.  He did not commit a crime. He has been out spoken, honest and repentant about the incident.
6. Recently, charges were leveled against Mark Sanford of violating an order of protection issued to his wife against him preventing him from entering her home.  The incident centered around he escorting his son home on Superbowl Sunday at Half-Time.  Rather than leave his son home alone because his wife was out of time, he attempted to call her on his cell and remained so his son would not be at home, alone watching the game.  Now tell me, who has not had difficult relationships and break-ups?  Divorces are nasty and messy.  Often innocent events get grossly blown out of proportion.  That said, an even more serious question should be asked.  Who violated a court order that sealed the document?  Who committed a crime to publicly expose the incident to derail Mark Sanford's campaign? Why is this crime not being investigated and the culprit brought to justice?

The Progressives are watching this race closely.  Nancy Pelosi has poured funds into Elizabeth Colbert-Busch's campaign in the tune of over $300,000, yet Mrs. Busch claims she will be independent.  Nancy Pelosi has already begun her campaign to regain the Speakers Chair.  For those who say they cannot vote for Mark Sanford, remember this, if you fail to vote then you have helped cast a vote for Colbert-Busch and thus aided Nancy Pelosi in her agenda.

The final question is, if a Nation can forgive Bill Clinton his sins and re-elect him to a second term, then what is stopping us for forgiving Mark Sanford his sins and making him work hard for the Conservative issues?

I for one am voting this Tuesday, will you and help us retain the House of Representatives?

Do you know the answer to this riddle?

I was sitting in my Archie Bunker chair feeling miserable with the flu, when a friend forwarded a chain email letter.  You know, one of those that has been forwarded through who knows how many other people and in the end tells you to forward it to ten other people.

The emails usually attribute a quote from Andy Rooney or Paul Harvey and 90% are often wrong when they do.  In this case Paul Harvey was attributed with something Lee Pitts wrote in his 1995 book "People Who Live At The End Of  Dirt Roads".  But, I scrolled down to the end anyway.

At the end was a riddle, which read, "What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?".  As I sat there feeling miserable hoping I would feel better for church tomorrow, this first thought that popped into my head was, "That's stupid, there's nothing greater than God!", then the light bulb went off.

I know the answer - It's NOTHING!
Nothing is greater than God,
Nothing is more evil than the Devil,
The poor have Nothing,
The rich need Nothing,
If you eat Nothing, you will die! 

To answer the riddle, you only need to believe in God and know

that God is the Alpha and Omega, therefor, nothing can be greater than he.  Once you hold that in your heart all of the other questions answer themselves.   Somehow, I started to feel just a little bit better and I knew God was with me always.

Why I won't support Gay Marriage - Don't get angry yet, read on!

Have you read the 1st Amendment to our Constitution, the Supreme Law of our land?  If not, I'll help you (forgive the sarcasm):

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Notice, please the section in RED.  I shall reiterate "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; (of religion).

Now, I'll explain, simply Marriage is a RELIGIOUS RITE, not a governmental function.  CIVIL UNIONS, of which you receive a "Marriage License, which in fact is a CIVIL UNION CERTIFICATE" is governments function.

Simply put, Marriage is Religious.

Civil Unions are Government recognized and subject to all of the rights, benefits and legal ramifications that can not and must not fall under a religious ceremony/rite.

Couples may and do CIVILLY UNITE outside of religious institutions.  Couples unite outside of GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS and are prohibited from receiving the benefits, which the Rainbow League claims to be fighting for.  They unite BY CHOICE for various and inconceivable reasons. They also marry outside of religious institutions - The Civil license which you purchase, that document you get at town hall!  A civil contract between two people to share their lives, assets, child & pet custody.

Marriage is a Religious Rite, where two people agree to unite their souls, hearts and lives under the eyes of God within their Church, Temple, Mosque or Shrine.  One is spiritual - Marriage, the other legal - Civil Unions.

This is the heart of the Gay Marriage issue.  The overthrow of religions and the implementation of government authority over God.

They are attempting to force us to accept the Marriage in place of the Civil Union recognition.  By altering state laws and federal laws, Civil Unions as each state recognizes covers the inheritance benefits of ALL COUPLES, regardless of sexual preference.  The local license issued to recognize that union should be proof enough.  It is not.  By redefining Marriage, you redefine all religions and place them now under government control and regulation.

The calling for Marriage alters the definition BY LAW of a religious rite.  In effect, they redefine a religion by telling all religions what a Marriage is by law.  Therefore, if a religion  recognizes same sex unions as unacceptable in the eyes of God, but is tolerant in society, government has the power to FORCE them to perform same sex marriage.  They can dictate and police your chosen religion!

If you think I am wrong, look to New Jersey, where a Christian organization denied a same sex couple access to their property so they may be married.  A Judge ruled in favor of the couple, stating that social justice must trump religious belief.  This is wrong not only in it's violation of the 1st Amendment which I quoted at the beginning of this rant, but also violated property rights.  Government can now tell you what activities can and can not be performed on your private property.  Finally, what about free speech, to vocally debate ANY issue without penalty?

I do not hate gays/lesbians or anyone else.  I do object when they attempt overtake my religion by imposing their dictates and mores.  It is not just Christianity, of which I am a proud member, but Judaism, Islam and all others, for which I speak.  They should also speak out & NOW!

Government has no business in defining a religions belief, they have no Constitutional basis in defining marriage.  The LEGAL recourse is the recognition of Civil Unions.  If a religion DOES recognize same sex unions, then THEY can perform that marriage, just don't demand my church does so! 

So, I say, what about you?

SC TEA PArty Convention - Part 1

Last night my husband and I drove 3 1/2 grueling hours up to Myrtle Beach, SC for the TEA Party convention, that is a prelude to the SC GOP Presidential Debate and the SC GOP Primary.  I'm glad we did, because events started early.  Later, I will write about the debacle of the hotel rooms and amenities.  For now, I'll illuminate you on some of the highlights.

It was great fun today to connect with old friends and meet new ones, who are like minded conservatives.  I was amazed at the fervor of many who were former Herman Cain devotees and now stanch Ron Paul lovers  Ron Paul's stance on foreign affairs is still a major concern for me.  To allow Iran succeed in getting nuclear weapons is irresponsible.  Remember back to the FOX debate, when Paul stated "Why not, why shouldn't they have them."  Another area, I discussed with a member was Ron Paul's alleged racist publications from 20 years ago.  The response, oh, it was 20 years ago, only a few lines and even the head of the NAACP supports him.  Hmm, leopards do not change their stripes and bigots rarely have change of hearts without a radical epiphany, and I don't know of any life changing events that have happened in his life to say he has had one.  Next, it was not only a few lines, it was in several publicans of which I was able to obtain some copies of the entries.  Ron Paul was listed as editor and publisher and considering the type of publication and small circulation, I fail to understand how he could not have known of the passages.  As recently as the 1990 to 1996, he did not deny the items, nor dispute their intent.  Lastly, just how much do you trust the motivations of the Head of the NAACP?  Who would better benefit the rewards of an Obama re-election?

The SC Congressional contingent was fantastic and encouraging in the change that voters were able to effect in the last election cycle.  However, sadly, SC could not admit to having as a native son, was the charismatic speaker and Raging Elephants creator, Reverend Apostle Claver.  He had the house ROCKIN' with No Compromise and No Surrender, riling the crowd into an enthusiastic true bible belt rally!  Unfortunately, the audience was handed a humongous let down with the follow-up speaker, Million or Billionare Michael George of "Stay Strong America".  Not only was Mr. George a monotone and droning speaker, where he thought he would get a positive and rousing response from the TEA Party activist, he fell flat on his face.

Mr. George had made the mistake of breaking the taboo of TEA Party activist going into a primary of criticizing some candidates over their preference and imploring the TEA Parties to support and vote for his love child, Newt Gingrich.  The purpose of this convention was to create working relationships between the various groups and to offer tools for our upcoming battle to reclaim the Senate and White House.  After ripping Mitt Romney and Rick Santorium, he proceeded to preen over Speaker Gingrich.  Grumbles rippled through the crowd and some stated to their immediate neighbors that he should get off the stage.  Two of my friends openly challenged his motives and positions of Speaker Gingrich versus those of Governor Romney.  The crowd began to get more heated and, well, I lite the fuse by loudly filling the room with my sweet dulcet voice, and directing "No one tells the TEA Parties who to vote for, not today not ever.  No one tells us what to do!" to Mr. George.


Suddenly the media scramble to our corner of the room and camera flashed.  Most of the shots will probably hit the cutting room floor, but the rallying calls that followed my out burst was refreshing and has let everyone know, that although the majority of us are Republicans, we are not servants of, nor the arm of the Republican Party, nor can any candidate truly call themselves a TEA Party Candidate.


Final note, my big mouth didn't end there.  Oh no! 

OK - I can't keep my Big Mouth Shut - Part 1A - The SC TEA Party Convention did have OWS protestors - The Occupy Protesters were 2 women on the beach, 2 people for "GREEN" (Whatever that means), trying to sneak into the hotel and one of the 99% across the street from the entrance.

Yes, I couldn't resist - poor guy didn't stand a chance (by the way, he disappeared afterwards).  Coming back from lunch he stood all alone with his hand written sign "Down With The 1%, I'm With The 99%"  I called out to him - "How's that working out for you? You're the 1% standing out here & we're the 99% in there?" Said, I couldn't resist! :O

Stay tuned & I hope to give you more updated tomorrow!

OMG! July 4th Patriotic Celebrations create more Republicans!

July 4th patriotic celebrations create more Republicans, Harvard study warns - latimes.com

How ironic, on this weekend the 235th birthday of these United States of America, that Progressives attempt to steal and squash the spirit that gave rise to this great Nation! Oh shame upon those God Loving, Gun Toting Patriotic Americans! How dare they respond by practicing good moral principles, strong conservative family values and love this Republic built upon the Constitution!

How horrible that Pomp and Circumstance elicit pride in self-reliance, freedom and independence, not of just the Nation, but of the individual!

Well all of you horrible Republicans, you Right-Wing nut job Conservatives, you Racist Tea-Baggers, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

Keep on brainwashing your children by taking them to July 4th Parades, picnics and Fireworks!

Keep on teaching them to love God and Country! How dare you!

Keep on teaching them your core moral and family values! Don't worry, we'll change that when they hit colleges like Harvard!

Keep it up! You'll be sorry! You'll only create another Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher!

PRESIDENTIAL POWER GRAB - ALL HAIL KING OBAMA!

PRESIDENTIAL POWER GRAB

We need to call, email or FAX members of the US Senate and protest an upcoming bill.  S 679 is titled: Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 The complete text is here: Click Here This bill removes from the Senate the power to vote their consent for Senior Government Appointments, placing in the Office of the President powers contrary to those accorded in the Constitution.  While it is tacit that the process to name and approve these appointments needs to be streamlined, it should not be upon the backs of our rights and freedoms declared in the United States Constitution. The Constitution's Appointment Clause reads: "... shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments." The Heritage Foundation wrote in a recent article the following: "The Senate Should Preserve, But Speed Up, Its Role in Senior Presidential Appointments When the delegates of the states gathered in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and wrote the Constitution, they distributed the powers of the federal government among two Houses of Congress, a President, and a judiciary, and required in many cases that two of them work together to exercise a particular constitutional power. That separation of powers protects the liberties of the American people by preventing any one officer of the government from aggregating too much power. The Framers of the Constitution did not give the President the kingly power to appoint the senior officers of the government by himself. Instead, they allowed the President to name an individual for a senior office, but then required the President to obtain the Senate's consent before appointing the individual to office. Thus, they required the cooperation of the President and the Senate to put someone in high office. Many of the Framers had practical experience with government and recognized that not every office would be of sufficient authority and consequence as to merit the attention of both the President and the Senate to an appointment to the office. Therefore, they provided a means by which the Congress by law could decide which of the lesser offices of government could be filled by the President alone, a court, or a department head."   By removing these offices from the Senate consent process, they diminish the power of the Senate and increase the power and role of the Presidency, further reducing the Checks and Balances set up by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.  Furthermore, S 679 does not determine if the offices named in the bill are of "little or no consequence".  Rather, it deems that because the Senate is too slow, the sponsors feel that they should streamline the process and bypass the Senate Confirmation process.  Now wouldn't it make more sense that if speeding up the process of appointments, then the Senate shouldn't the Senators review their internal process and look to modify it?  Also, the Executive Branch  should look internally at their own procedures in an effort to streamline the vetting process which has become over-burdensome and invasive as it travels through the federal bureaucracy before reaching the Senate.  As usual, this legislation uses a sledgehammer to fix a problem, when a Love-Tap is more appropriate.  Legislation should not be necessary to "mandate" that the President tell his staff to cut the layers of bureaucracy, communicate with other departments and agencies (You know - Play nice boys!), nor to tailor the vetting process to the needs of the actual job the appointment is being made.  The "Working Group"created under the Executive Branch and appointed directly by the President not only is an additional power grab, but another layer of bureaucracy we can ill afford and a relinquishment of powers conferred upon Congress by the Constitution. ** More than 200 positions will be affected - this is a sampling of some of the Appointments to be directly under the Power of the President: The Agriculture Department's Commodities Credit Board Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service Administrator The Chief Scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration The Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information The Defense Department's Assistant Secretary for Networks and Information Integration The Assistant Secretaries of each of the armed services for financial management The Education Department's Assistant Secretary for Management Education's Commissioner of Education Statistics All 7 of the Assistant Secretaries of Energy The Department of Homeland Security's Director of the Office of Domestic Preparedness Homeland Security's Assistant Administrator of FEMA for Grant Programs The Department of the Treasury's Assistant Secretary for Management and Chief Financial Officer The Treasurer of the United States Director of the US Mint The Governors and Alternate Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (amending Section 3 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act) Governor and Alternate Governor of the Asian Development Bank (amending Section 3(a) of the Asian Development Bank Act) Governor and Alternate Governor of the African Development Fund (amending Section 203(a) of the African Development Fund Act) Managing Director of the Corporation for National and Community Service The Office of Management and Budget's Controller, Office of Federal Financial Management Director of the Community Development Financial Institution Fund  If this doesn't scare you?  How about this fact - The bill sponsor is Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and includes Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) as co-sponsor.  The following Republicans also signed onto S 679: Alexander (TN) Brown (MA) Collins (ME) Johanns (NE) Kyl (AZ) Lugar (IN) McConnell (KY) Hot Air also has a good article on this boondoggle! Read it here!

CONTACT YOUR SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE NOW AND TELL THEM

VOTE NO!

ON S 679 AND ANY COMPANION BILLS THAT WILL DIMINISH THE POWER OF CONGRESS AND INCREASE THE POWER ACCORDED TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

OMG!! Who Are Conseratives????

When I started Southern Sense on Blog Talk Radio

I had no idea where it would lead me.

A little more than a year previous, along with 4 others, we started the Beaufort Tea Party in Beaufort, South Carolina.

It took off and we supported and encouraged the establishment of the Hilton Head and Bluffton Tea Parties.  The result of my activism was happily an invite to the Governor's Mansion for a luncheon on the economy and a Christmas Party.  That evolved into an invite to the Inaugural Ball for Nikki Haley.  Boy, from a quiet retired citizen to political activist has been an interesting road.

I have made friends with so many people across the board, that to define what a conservative looks like is impossible.  I have met Black, Gay, Asian, Jewish and reformed liberals, who are now, conservatives.  To only name a few.  As we grow as conservatives, more come out of the closet, so to speak.

To say there are no Black Conservatives is to deny the legacy of Fredrick Douglass and those who follow in his legacy.  In fact, I found, because of my Blog Talk Radio show, I have attracted an audience of a varied backgroud and ethnic heritage.

I must be doing something "Right"!  So Monday, March 7th, I have been invited to be a guest on Perry Steeles's show here on Blog Talk Radio.  I look forward to the show and hope you will join us!  I look forward to a time we can have an open dialogue to help place this wonderful nation onto a positve path to recovery and prosperity! 

Tune in here! - Perry Steele

Open Invite To All Politicians!

Open Letter To All Politicians

This is an open invitation to all elected officials, as well as current and past candidates to attend the 1st Anniversary 9/12 Rally by the Beaufort Tea Party, this Sunday at 1pm at the Waterfront Park.  We always encourage you to attend our rallies!  In our first rally last year on July 4th, we made the error of allowing politicians to speak and did not give the people a voice.  Since then, in the subsequent rallies, we remedied that error and only allow those who speak not be politicians.  We have been pleasantly surprised at the words and wisdom of the voters who spoke.

We whole heartily welcome you to attend and listen to what "We The People" have to say.  As a “grass-roots” movement, that has united a silent majority into a political force that is slowly changing the face of politics and policy, we encourage you to listen.  Feel free to press the flesh and kiss the babies.

Our members do not care what political party you are with.  If you think this is only directed to Conservatives or Republicans, think again!  The invitation is open to all politicians.  We would like to commend some of those who have attended all of our events, stood in the crowd, listening and answering, one on one: Mayor Billy Keyserling, City Councilwoman Donnie Beer, County Councilman Paul Sommerville, and State Representative Shannon Erickson.  Thank you, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday! For more information: http://BeaufortTeaParty.webs.com

Thank You President Obama!

Thank you President Barak Hussain Obama for your policies and action that have stirred the heart beat of grass root Americans, such as myself.  By doing so, you have caused us to rise from our lethargy and pay attention to current events.

Thank you, Mr. President for helping us to find our voices and causing us to join in a wonderful Americana Chorus.  Although we are the majority, we had thought our words had no force.  Now that we are silent no longer, we know that we have hit a nerve, that you and your cronies find  rather uncomfortable.

Thank you, Sir!  Without the Tea Party Ideal, I might have not become involved and help to form our Tea Party.  Through this growing movement, I have made friends with so many people, that under different circumstances, I may have never had met.

Thank you, because of you and your co-conspirators, I have had the joy of being befriended by a Retired Civil Rights Attorney and Former Judge, by nationally radio syndicated talk show hosts, by nationally syndicated columnists, by my elected representatives,and by Black, Hispanic, Asian and Gay conservatives across the nation.  I have had the joy of meeting so many people from so many walks of life and experiences, my head still spins from amazement!  What a ride, I am enjoying!

Thank you President Obama!  Because of your legislation and regulations, I have found myself giving numerous key note speeches and have over come my stage fright.  Now, I find I have a special talent with words and with motivating people, that otherwise would have laid dormant for the rest of my life.

Mr. President, Thank you.  Since my retirement, I have lead a very quiet, sedimentary life and no longer had friends in high places.  Because of my new found spot light in the Tea Party movement, I have received a personal invite and will have the pleasure of enjoying lunch with a handful of other people like myself with the Governor of my wonderful state, this week at the Governor's Mansion.

Sir, thank you.  I had never thought that this nation would ever elect someone worse than President Jimmy Carter, so I did not take strong enough action to make myself heard or to motivate others into action.  You have shown me the error of my thinking.  I will never make that mistake again.  In my heart, I know that from among the uprising multitude a new Reagan Conservative will rise and whomever that may be, they will hear our voices and they will listen.  Everyday, we will continue to fight to retain our rights and liberties.  We will restore our nation to the true republic our founding fathers left in our care.

Finally, Sir, thank you for giving my life a direction and purpose.
