If a farmer were to spread the seeds, and then proceeded to pull out the growing wheat, arguing at the same time that he actually enjoyed spreading the seeds but was not interested in the harvest, we would agree that said individual has lost his mind.
If said farmer would at harvest time turn around and buy wheat from his neighbor to feed his family, we would have no doubt that the man needed some psychological treatment in order to bring the individual back to sanity.
This represents what we in the West are doing. We are destroying our own children through abortion, and then we allow both legal and illegal immigrants to fill the demographic void, despite the fact that many of these foreigners come determined to impose their own values on our society. This doesn’t make sense to me!
Monopoly tends to discourage private initiative and kills competition. Communism has given the world a good example of the disastrous results of a lack of competition, free enterprise, and private initiative. The Russian experiment was a failure for precisely said reason. If the government owns everything, there is no incentive nor opportunity for excelling in what a person is doing. Private initiative and free trade stagnates and dies.
Writes Coulter: “The reason nearly everyone in the universe has a cell phone is that President Reagan did to telephones the exact opposite of what the Democrats have just done with health care.
“Before Reagan came into office, we had one phone company, ridiculously expensive rates and one phone model. Reagan split up AT&T, deregulated phone service and gave America a competitive market in phones. The rest is history.”
“At a time when workers’ pay and benefits have stagnated, federal employees’ average compensation has grown to more than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.
Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are the latest available. …”

“Thousands of individuals from foreign countries walk unchallenged across our southern border every day. We don’t know who they are, where they come from, or their intentions. It is an invasion by definition, and our government condones it.
This website presents current and undeniable documentation. See link below showing actual footage of this incredible foreign invasion with very little success by the Federal Border Patrol forces to
A massive number of people illegally enter the USA every day by simply walking unchallenged across our southern border. In the 1952 miles of border from California to Texas they use literally thousands of trails and paths, ever changing their routes to avoid detection.
Cartel involvement has brought increased organizational skills to smuggling operations and, contrary to government claims, only a very small percentage are apprehended. Accurate statistics are impossible to gather, but the true numbers are staggering, and the general public remains largely uninformed.
Border Invasion Pics has been posting hidden camera video of border intruders walking unchallenged into the U.S. since November 2008. An ever increasing number of Washington DC visitors to the website indicates that national politicians and their appointees are viewing the action. The evidence presented contradicts Janet Napolitano’s statements about how difficult it has become to cross the border illegally, and it appears that DHS has seen enough Border Invasion Pics videos. Especially like the August release showing over 400 illegal aliens marching into the U.S. — 5 miles north of the border, on just one trail, in only 35 days.

Introduction
I want to share with you something I wrote back in 2005 and add to this what much later Gadhafi stated regarding the future of Islam. I saw it coming and my belief was confirmed by what this Moslem leader described later on. Islam is on major effort to slowly establish its control over the entire world. The first step is the conquest of Europe, and then the U.S. and the rest of planet earth. This sleeping giant has never stopped dreaming about world domination, and it is determined to accomplish this purpose either by peaceful means or else by jihad.
*********
Is Islam a Peaceful Religion?
Right from the beginning, George Bush made it clear that the war against Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the war against terrorism had nothing to do with religion; and he insisted on several occasions that bin Laden and Zarqawi had hijacked a great religion for their own political end.
Statements like these represent good public relations, but a recent comment by Zarqawi made me wonder whether we are trying to convince ourselves and the world that we are not fighting a cultural war, when the truth is we are. He stated that Moslems should reject democracy, because democracy grants citizens the right to choose the religion of their preference.
This is anathema for Moslems, since their religion demands the death of apostates, and not only society, but even close relatives are expected to kill even their own children in the event they attempt to convert to another religion; and we have had recent reports of this taking place. If you are born to Moslem parents, you are a Moslem whether you like it or not. This is a clever way of keeping the membership of their religion stable and growing.

Can the Democratic Party Survive?
I recognize that there are a large number of factors which determine the future viability and survival of any movement. I would like to limit myself in this posting to only one of them: the Democratic Party stand on the abortion issue.
Can the Democratic position on this issue impact on the effectiveness and eventual survival of this political party. I believe it can, especially if we could hold all the other factors constant. I want to start my analysis by submitting to you the following propositions, which I hope you will accept as valid premises:
Basic Indisputable Premises.
1. Most members of the Democratic Party are pro-abortion.
2. Most members of the Republican Party favor a pro-life position.
3. Children tend to inherit the moral values of their parents.
4. The survival of any movement is contingent on the survival of the children.
5. No organization can survive on a long-term basis if they start decimating the future members of their group
Unavoidable Conclusion.
If you accept the premises I enumerated above, I hope you will agree with me that. Given the fact that the members of the Republican Party tend to avoid aborting the future members of their group, while at the same time the members of the Democratic Party tend to abort them, the logical outcome seems to be that the members of the first group will tend to increase, while the members of the second one will inevitably diminish.
If there were no other factors at play, then we must conclude that the Democratic Party is doomed to eventual extinction. No wise country expecting to preserve its strenghth and identity will start by destroying the future soldiers that are currently on their way to being born. It would be suicidal to start killing those who, if allowed to be born, would eventually be able to replace the soldiers who are retiring and dying.
This is why, for the sake of the welfare and survival of the Democratic Party, for the sake of the survival of our country, and for the sake of even the welfare and survival of the pro-abortion movement, there is an urgent need for all of us: Democrats and Republicans, pro-abortion and pro-life, to join hand in an effort to reduce and if possible elliminate the large number of abortions that are performed on a regular basis, which number currently approximately 3,000 every week–the number of those that died on 9/11. If I am all wet, please let me know!
Some years ago I received the following question from one of our readers:
How has it come about that a small minority has gotten to the place where they are able to force their views on society?
My answer then was: “I believe that many have contributed to this unfortunate situation; nevertheless, the major culprit, I believe is the U.S. Congress, for failing to fulfill its duty to act when action is needed to hold the Supreme Court accountable for doing what Congress was designed to do: Creating new laws. Activist judges are constantly creating new laws out of thin air. A good example is the legalization of abortion, which cannot be justified under the U.S. Constitution.
The notion that privacy can be more sacred than the life of the unborn is a dangerous myth. It has caused the death of 45 million unborn babies. Now a social security crisis is looming on the horizon, since an entire generation [45 million] are missing from the pool of young workers, and the constant inflow of both legal and illegal immigrants is a rather poor alternative to the shortage.
Europe is facing a similar crisis. The birthrate per woman is way below replacement level. This situation is rather serious in nations like Russia, Italy, Germany, and Japan. Some countries are already considering legislation to encourage pregnant women to carry their pregnancy to term, with financial incentives for them to do so.”

“Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. Our greatest enemy today is not Obama. It’s not the socialists in Congress, the liberal activists that serve as judges, it’s not Islamist terrorists, the Communist Chinese, the Federal Reserve, or illegal immigrants. Let us learn from history.
The Roman empire covered the world with roads, trade, soldiers, and technology. It was a thing of pride to be a Roman citizen. Produce and goods were inexpensive. They were the wealthiest people in the world who conquered all her challengers.
But Rome became overrun with illegal immigrants, who at first assimilated and worked as servants, but then came so fast that they did not learn the language or adopt the Roman culture. Rome became addicted to the cheap labor, and didn’t enforce her immigration laws. Politicians and businesses catered to illegal immigrants.
The highly-trained Roman military, moving rapidly on their advanced road system, was over-stretched in conflicts at the boundaries of their vast empire. For the military industrial complex, business was booming.
Motivated by the intrusive military presence all over the world, Attila the Hun was committing terrorist attacks against Rome. The over-extended military could not catch him.
Rome had a trade deficit, having outsourced most of its grain production to N. Africa. When Vandals captured the area, Rome did not have the resources to retaliate.
The citizens of Rome were on welfare. They were given free food. Those who lived at the expense of the public treasury were more numerous than those who paid into it.
To the taxpaying Romans, tax collectors were more terrible than the enemy.
The courts were unjust and corrupt. They didn’t follow the law.
Adultery and immorality were the norm. Bathhouses were filled with homosexual and heterosexual lust.
Unwanted and unloved infants were abandoned in fields to die. Some Roman leaders even proposed paying men to stay married and father more children, as Rome’s birth rate was dropping too low to sustain their culture and their quality of life.
The Roman citizen’s heart was not in the home, but in the Coliseum, the bathhouse, and the theater. They lived for entertainment. Plays, music, art, and literature – the Romans were intoxicated with entertaining themselves. Gladiators provided violent entertainment in the Coliseum.

I’m getting out before Obama makes it mandatory.”

This was written by a Mexican who is now a naturalized U.S. Citizen, living in Globe, AZ.
I think it’s a great explanation of the illegal immigration issue.
Here is the quote:
“If you had tickets to a sports event, concert, Disneyland , or for an airline flight, and when you got to your assigned seat you found someone else was in that seat, what would you do? You would call for a person in charge of ticket checking and have the person in your seat removed. You would properly be asked to show your ticket, and you would gladly and proudly do so, for you have bought and paid for that seat. The person in your seat would also be asked for a ticket, which they would not be able to produce. They would be called “gate crashers” and they would properly be removed.
Now in this huge stadium called the USA we have had millions of gate crashers. We have been asking security to check for tickets and remove the gate crashers. We have been asking security to have better controls in checking at the door. We have asked security to lock the back doors. Security has failed us. They are still looking the other way. They are afraid to ask to see the tickets. Many people say there is unlimited seating, and whether there is or not, no one should be allowed in for free while the rest of us pay full price!
In “section AZ”, of “Stadium USA “, we have had enough of the failures of Security. We have decided to do our own ticket checking, and properly remove those who do not have tickets. Now it seems very strange to me that so many people in the other 49 “sections”, and even many in our own “section” do not want tickets checked, or even to be asked to show their ticket! Even the head of Security is chastising us, while not doing his own job which he has sworn to do.
My own ticket has been bought and paid for, so I am proudly going to show it when asked to do so. I have a right to my seat, and I want the gate crashers to be asked to show their tickets too. The only reason that I can imagine anyone objecting to being asked for their ticket is that they are in favor of gate crashing, and all of the illegal activities that go with it, such as drug smuggling, gang wars, murder, human smuggling for profit, and many more illegal and inhumane acts that we are trying to prevent with our new legislation. Is that what I am hearing from all of the protestors such as Phoenix Mayor Gordon, U.S. Rep. Grijalva, even President Obama? If you are not in favor of showing tickets, (proof of citizenship, passport, green card, or other legal document) when asked, as I would do proudly, then you must be condoning those illegal activities.”
This makes perfect sense to me. What do you think?
Since Obama has never shown his ticket I guess he feels obligated to not ask others to show theirs.

“On a warm D.C. Friday evening, our pals over at the U.S. Treasury, led by our revered Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, put out a little report that they didn’t want you to see. After all, who’s looking for news on a Friday night?
In that little report, they just happened to mention that U.S. debt will rise to at most $13.6 trillion (as if the government has never underestimated a time or two).
For all of you 110 million taxpaying Americans, that’s $123,636 each, and that’s probably just the low estimate.
But it gets even better. By 2015, based on our current path of spending, out debt will be a paltry $19.6 trillion.
For those keeping score, that’s $178,181 for each taxpaying American, assuming that there are 110 million taxpaying Americans by 2015.
You see, our buddies in Washington, D.C., named Obama, Biden and Geithner want as few Americans as possible paying taxes.
Currently 47 percent of taxpayer-eligible Americans do not pay income taxes and that number is rising steadily.
So, let’s say if that number creeps up and only 100 million Americans are paying taxes, then each taxpayer will have a bill of $196,000 even. Considering this is the federal government we are talking about let’s just round it up to an even $200k. …”

An Arizona utility commissioner said on Wednesday that he is willing to cut off Los Angeles’ power if the city moves forward with its economic boycott of the Grand Canyon State.
Last week, the L.A. City Council overwhelmingly approved a measure to suspend a variety of business contracts with Arizona due to the state’s controversial new immigration laws.
Gary Pierce, a commissioner on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commission, wrote a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa this week stating that he was “dismayed” with the council’s decision, and would entertain the idea of fighting a boycott with a boycott unless it reconsidered the measure, according to CBS News.
“If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation,” he wrote.
“However, if you find that the city council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona’s economy,” Pierce added.
Currently, more than one-quarter of Los Angeles’ electricity comes from Arizona-based power plants, Fox News reports.”
