Excuses Excuses

Sounds to me that the Head of DHS isn’t even going to try to do her job:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whose agency is charged with securing America’s borders, told an audience in Washington, D.C., in reference to the U.S.-Mexico border, “You’re never going to totally seal that border.”

And it also sounds to me that the Mayor of Philadelphia is obstructing Justice:

Mayor Nutter has expressed concern about the human rights of all immigrants, regardless of their legal status.

Well then, he should discuss that with President Calderone. Legal status. So he is going to shield criminals. Right? Sure does sound like it.

Fast Work Shoddy Work When Sleepless

That’s what Congress has done. Thoroughly unprofessional.

There can be only one reason for this. And it has nothing to do with what they quoted for the reporters.

They are concerned, scared probably, that come November – they won’t be able to do what they just did to us.

Legacy – thy name is folly. May God Help Us.

“It’s a great moment. I’m proud to have been here,” said a teary-eyed Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), who as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee led the effort in the Senate. “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works [Edit: Here we go again!]. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.”

Which crisis was this Senator? Mortgage? Foreclosures? Economy? Your property in Ireland?

Declaring War on Arizona

No, I don’t mean the POTUS (this time).

Actually, it’s the Mexican Drug Cartel. Openly. They are threatening Nogales police officers.

Tell me again the Arizona law is unconstitutional, POTUS and AG, tell me there aren’t American citizens – on American soil – dying because of foreign criminal activity coming across our southern border illegally.

Arizona needs to do the job our Constitution says the federal government should have been doing all along. And our own administration thinks that suing the Arizona government is going to solve the problem by handcuffing police authority that is supposed to “Protect and Serve”.

Well, who’s going to “Protect and Serve” now? Or, should I ask – who is going to serve us to who?

What crap. What a waste of federal time, effort, our tax money, legal meandering just because they want criminals in our country ……… and, what’s that reason again?

UPDATE: Held Hostage

I’ll let REDSTATE and Senator Kyl tell you who is holding who as hostage(s) about border security.

Me? I’m waaaayy too angry to say anything further.

UPDATE: Here we go. He said, he said – it looks like. White House Lying? Kyl?

I’m still angry.

Uncovered

So they haven’t a clue how to do the job except to whine about it?

Gee, where have we heard that before?

From Gateway Pundit:

The AP reported:

The panel appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is short on technical expertise but long on talking publicly about “America’s addiction to oil.” One member has blogged about it regularly.

Yet another blow against “doing one’s job” in the government.

Unbalanced and Unchecked

You probably won’t remember this one, but if you do – get very nervous.

Former Inspector General Gerald Walpin was ‘fired’ by President Obama last year because he (IG Walpin) was investigating California mayor Kevin Johnson for misusing Americorps money.

And now, a D.C. federal judge has dismissed the wrongful-termination lawsuit filed by IG Walpin.

The law says the president must give Congress 30 days’ notice, plus an explanation, before firing an inspector general. But that’s not how it went down.

This lawsuit dismissal means that the White House will be able fire other inspectors general, as it fired Walpin, without fear of legal consequences.

And these IGs are supposed to provide for oversight of such responsibilities as demonstrated, for instance, by the President’s close friend, Mayor Kevin Johnson.

Yup. Our country’s fiscal health is in the very best of hands. Feel better now?

Feds Insist To Waste Our Money

By suing Arizona for copying the federal law (Article 4, Section4 – to protect the states) in order to protect themselves because of the $4B costs incurred by activities of illegal aliens.

There you have it. One of the 50 states of the United States has to do the job the federal government is supposed to do – but refuses. (Psst. Hey POTUS, we all heard you take the oath to uphold the Constitution. Got that?)

How crazy stupid is this?

Here’s a job for anyone interested. Read this about a Writ of Mandamus.

Lose Your Money Lose Your Job Lose Your Home

Overdramatic? Think so? You decide.

If this projection, and the Cap and Trade Bill come to pass – then who’s to blame?

We are staring down the barrel of a financial gun that will destroy our lives our offspring’s futures and our country.

Is that what you want? I most certainly do not.

Never let a fight take your rights or your way of life.

Unbelievable. Unforgiveable.

It’s assault. Plain and simple. On video. On a public sidewalk. There is no expectation of privacy there.

And what’s more, as a legislator, Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-NC2) should know that his job is not enforcement.

He’s wrong and he’s gone too far. So come election time, show him the door and tell him to travel – far away from DC.

UPDATE: Healthcare Coverage Uncovered

Imagine that.

According to Jim Hoft at GatewayPundit, a majority of Americans will lose their company sponsored health plans within 3 years.

Well, not so much by Jim Hoft he just posted the news this afternoon, try Investors via Doug Ross.

How’s that Hope and Change going there? Ready to vote this coming September? (Here in Maryland, that’s the Primary 09/14/10 – you want this unfunded then repealed? Consider voting for me. Sorry, usually I am not so upfront with that approach but this isn’t about one or a couple running for office. This is about saving our country, dammit.)

UPDATE: Now this little tidbit that is stuck inside the Healthcare legislation. How’s this for taxing by alchemy?
