We all know how a dictator becomes a dictator. While a few, in modern days, takes a country by force or coup, most get the approval of the people, then take it all over. We have seen a modern takeover in Chavez. He was elected twice I believe, made himself to be a leader for the people, then has slowly introduced legislation that will allow him to be the “leader” for as long as he pleases. He took over in such a way, that it is now almost impossible for his people to unseat him.

We have a wanna-be dictator in our own country. But it is not in the form of a man, it is in the form of a party. They have slowly herded the masses into complete dependence on their social programs and have slowly convinced at least half the population that only they know what it best for the individual. They have perfectly displayed Socialism 101 and followed the climb to ultimate power rules to perfection. While it is not too late in this country to stop their assent to power, it will be if things do not change soon and if more people do not take an active part in removing everyone from power who has shown a desire to eliminate our way of life.

QUOTES:

Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.

The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.

A man who dreads trials and difficulties cannot become a revolutionary. If he is to become a revolutionary with an indomitable fighting spirit, he must be tempered in the arduous struggle from his youth. As the saying goes, early training means more than late earning.

Great ideology creates great times.

The revolution is carried out by means of one’s thought, not through one’s family background.

“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

“I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.  The more politically active black students.  The foreign students.  The Chicanos.  The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

“I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds.  One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.  They were more than satisfied; they were relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”

“I had learned not to care.  I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years.  Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. …”

“We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old – and that’s the criterion by which I’ll be selecting my judges.”

Here are some by the wife of our president and his mentor.

Michelle Obama

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

“That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that.  That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.”

The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”

And that is the woman whispering in our Presidents ear, so much to worry about.

Jeremiah Wright who for 20 years, taught our president his religious and political “values.”

“Racism is how this country (America) was founded and how this country is still run!”

“America is still the number one killer in the world.”

“We (Americans) are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional KILLERS. . . . We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. . . . We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. . . . We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means!”

“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards.  America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” — (commenting on the 9/11 attacks)

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’  No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people.  God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human.  God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01.  White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”

“Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run.  No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body.”

“We (the United States of America) started the AIDS virus.”

Dear God we have so much to worry about, but just for kicks and giggles, lets look at how his mother raised him.

S. Ann Soetoro mother to Obama

“They (Americans) are not my people!”

And you wonder why he respects this country and its way of life so little.

And a friend and supporter of Obama, William Ayers.

”I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” — spoke during an interview on September 11th

“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”

“Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon.”

Speaks volumes about our leader! We must stay vigilant and focused on removing the cancer from all parts of our government. For the sake of our country, we MUST vote true conservatives in each and every time so that this all can be stopped before it is too late!

There are many ways to be a threat to another person or a persons freedom. Most associate a threat as something than can harm them or kill them. But this narrow view is why so many minority groups are able to push the majority around and is why so many laws have been thrown out or enacted. But sometimes a new law or ruling is so absurd, that you really have to question the mental capacity of both the party trying to push on us and the ignorant judge who gives them their way. But even the absurd laws or rulings are dangerous, maybe even more so than the ones activist disguise as being for the well being of all.

This one was the absurd kind. As you read the article, remember these kids were not holding religious services there, simply using the space for their graduation which they worked hard to earn. Also remember, the priest was not going to be officiating the service, he simply agreed to the contract for use. Keep this in mind as well, the school was going to cover most if not all of the religious material so that it was not in view of the kids. So what, in the mind of the Atheist and the judge, made this whole situation a violation of the never written in our constitution separation of church and state? I can not figure it out, but the reason this should worry you so much is because of this:

Once ruling like this become standard, any company who does business with schools that may have a religious owner, manager, or employee could lose their right to do business with any government funded entity.

Sets precedent to be able to remove from teaching anyone who openly claims a faith regardless of whether or not they speak about it in class.

Shows yet again that something must be done about these activist judges who live to interpret the law as they see fit to further their own agenda. They have shown they are willing to make rulings that in no way reflect the law as it is written. These kind of rulings may not affect you right now, but they will.

And it shows that these groups have an agenda to eliminate religion from everything even when the event had no religious ties. Their goal is to make it illegal to worship in this country.

The school was not holding religious services, they simply, for once, spent the money we trust them with wisely. They found a building that was big enough to hold everyone and it was the cheapest. Being a church had nothing to do with the events planned. Get mad about this, because if we fail to see that this was an attack on our freedoms and on our very way of life, we will be next. Enough is enough, and it is time we take the battle to the antagonist calling themselves atheist.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.– A federal judge has ruled two Connecticut public high schools can’t hold their graduations inside a church because that would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall made the ruling Monday in the case of Enfield High School and Enrico Fermi High School, both in Enfield.

The Enfield school board says it voted to hold services June 23 and 24 at The First Cathedral in Bloomfield because it had enough space at the right price. But two students and three of their parents sued.

The judge says Enfield had unconstitutionally entangled itself with religion by agreeing to cover much of the church’s religious imagery. She also says the town coerced the plaintiffs to support religion by forcing them to enter the church for graduation

.

I would say a bit of both. When a person has their head stuck up their ass, they tend to be blinded to the reality the rest of us live in. But add in a heavy dose of anti American sentiment in with the previous issue, and you get Obama and his cronies. We have seen their anti-American beliefs spring up over the last few years with episodes such as having the Mexican president not only lecture us all, but also call American citizens racist all while our leaders on the left applauded. But this last statement takes the cake.

The problem is, their anti-American rhetoric has become seriously dangerous to our well being. Having a foreign president mock us is one thing, to negate our enemies and justify their dangerous attitudes towards us, is another thing all together. We need to scream about this latest "enlightenment" the POTUS and his communist appointees have fed us. Call your rep, call your governor, hell send a letter to the enlightened one himself. But we better get real loud about this or our very life may be in danger!

Can you imagine state sanctioned Jihad in this country. Laugh all you want, but when our leaders OK jihad, as they just did, it will only be a matter of time before the Muslims are not only allowed, but encouraged, to proclaim jihad while in this country.

Yes it is true no matter how the left tries to tell you different. See protecting the environment is not accomplished by bleeding heart, unscientific, trillion dollar, unattainable BS. It is done through reachable goals accomplished by the normal citizen.

I own 72 acres in the lowlands of SC where I am able to hunt everything from duck to wild hogs, turkey to deer. I take extreme care to not over hunt the land, keep the water clean, plant trees and other plant life, plant acres of deer attracting plants, and enforce my standards on all who use the land. When my father bought the land, it was seriously lacking in stable plant life and much water. But over the years, with his and my careful preservation and betterment of the land, it is now one of the nicest hunt plots in the area. It is now better and more stable, than when we got it. That is saving the environment.

Most people know that the land we have now is all we get. We know that dumping oil into the ground after we drain the car, which is something many of us saw our parents and grandparents doing, is horrible for the underground water and the land itself. We know not to dump our trash on the land, and so on and so on. This is called conservation and I would argue that most conservatives are also conservationist. But that is where we draw the line. We get crucified for not buying into the bogus “science” called global warming/cooling/change or whatever they are calling it now, we do not buy into the earth has a soul and is crying over how she is treated crap the ultra radicals spew. We simply understand that caring for the earth is each persons job and doing ones job does not require adherence to a hypocritical radical group, nor does it require us to dump our vehicle in favor of a gay little car that has trouble going downhill. We simply take care of what God has given us, and that is enough.

Conservation of our land is the job of us all. But radicalism and bogus science is something we all need to avoid and fight. Leaving the land for our children in better shape than we received it, is the honorable thing to do and conservatives lead the way in this. For all their hot air, the left is doing nothing to better the land, they simply spend their entire energy level on trying to come up with the next “big” thing about to destroy us and spend even more time trying to force everyone else to comply. They have found it much easier to preach than to do, and that is why folks like us lead the fight on keeping our land clean and safe.

Case in point: Michigan a few years ago buckled to the liberal agenda and cut deer permits in half. They had bought into the liberal bleeding heart unscientific crap that hunters were wiping out the deer population and that many were killing without consuming just for kicks and giggles. They bought into the nonsense that hunting was cruel to the animal and that they suffered tremendously. They refused to listen to the arguments from the public and the DNR that hunting was regulated and that hunting was used to cull the herds. They did not listen to a thing until hundreds of deer were being found dead or dying in the snow from hunger due to there not being enough food to sustain the increased deer population. How much more horrible it must be to die quickly from a bullet than to starve slowly to death in the cold. They did not listen until deer were being hit all across the upper peninsula by cars all due to the increase movement in the search for food. But what finally got the new regulations thrown in the trash was when the deer were found to be infected with TB which posed not only a danger to the deer, but to other animals who ate their flesh and to humans. But what was amazing is, was after all this, they did not remember they were made to play the fools part by the radicals and jumped right back into their corner when it came to the doves. We must never be so gullible!

Maybe we can arrange a RedState Hunt a Hog by conservative conservationists on my land in the near future. We can all donate 10 bucks to a noble cause of our own choice (which means bring your own beer), all while lowering the feral pig population in the area. Nothing better than the taste of your own kill, drenched in BBQ, roasting over your fire. That and watching this video! Please give it a look, it will both make your day and make you vomit at the same time! And yes they are serious, serious nuts!

Radical environmentalist crying over trees!

We hear the stories all the time about people getting killed by criminals and sometimes there is no way of knowing had the victim used a gun, they would still be alive. But there are just as many, if not more, stories that prove had the victim not had a gun, they would have been seriously injured or even killed.

The counter argument is that having a gun can lead to violence where if you just submitted to the criminal act, they would leave you uninjured. And while there are cases where an untrained person with a gun, did more to cause hurt or death to themselves because of their ineptitude with a weapon, the real facts are that many, many times, a criminal will hurt or even kill you whether or not you resist. Singing love songs will not sway their murderous desire, but placing lead poison in their body until they OD will guarantee two things. One, and most importantly, they will never again be able to hurt another living soul, and two, you gave yourself a fighting chance against the scumbag. I believe all those who chose to use the right to bare arms SHOULD be trained in the use of a weapon. I also believe that if you carry a gun, you best be damned ready to use it without hesitation. And last, I believe that a gun has one purpose and that is to kill. If you pull it, it should be to defend yourself or your family and it should be pulled for killing purposes.

Well kudos to this Chicago gentleman who chose to fight for his life. 80 years old and he gave the world a gift. The gift he gave was yet another proof positive that by him having the right to own a gun, exercising that right, and being willing to defend what he owns and his own life, the gun saved his life. He also freed the world from an animal who only intent was to take what was not his from others and to hurt them in the process.

Hip Hip Hooray to this gun right hero! By the way, I found a decent attorney, other than those on here. Check out the last few lines of this story. I hope this attorney stays true to his word and when he defends this man, great fame, success, and riches come to him!

An 80-year-old Chicago man shot and killed an armed man who broke into his two-story house in a pre-dawn home invasion Wednesday on the city’s West Side.

At about 5:20 a.m., the homeowner and his wife, also in her 80s, discovered the intruder entering their home by a back door. In a struggle at their doorstep, the intruder fired his revolver but was struck in the chest and died of his wound, police said.

"It’s a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead," said Curtis Thompson, who lives next door to the couple, the Chicago Sun-Times reported .

Neighbors described the elderly couple, who both walk with canes, as pillars of the community in Garfield Park, where home invasions have been all too frequent.

Their neighbor, Shaquite Johnson, told MyFoxChicago that the two are "heroes" for fighting off the attacker — and that the shooting means there is "one less criminal" walking the streets.
"They don’t bother no one, so why would anyone do that to them?" she said.

Relatives of the couple told the Sun Times that the man is an Army veteran, his wife a former nurse. Police said neither the man nor the woman was injured in the attack.

The assailant, who was described by police as being in his 30s, was found slumped on the back doorstep of the couple’s house, removed four hours after the shooting, the Sun Times reported.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner, but Chicago currently has a statute outlawing the possession of handguns. Its legality is currently being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A high-profile Chicago attorney has already stepped forward offering to represent the man pro bono if he faces charges for possessing a weapon.

"Self defense isn’t just a right, it’s a duty," said attorney Joel Brodsky. "If this man is prosecuted for saving his own life it’s not just a travesty, it’s justice turned inside out."

Coldwarrior, could you help me out?

For years I grew up watching my dad spend a ton of money supporting conservatives in their races. He had the money to become a wanted ally. I am not so lucky, but that does not mean I am not involved. I sat in my dad’s house as the first Bush made a visit to meet with donors, was there when the second bush did the same. No way, anywhere in the near future, will be able to pull off an event like that.

I always thought I had two choices when it came to being involved in politics, run for office or get involved with groups who promote conservatives and give money. I, up to this point, have had no interest in running for any office.

I have seen you talk about being a PC and that got me interested. But due to my poor google abilities and only being back in SC for little over 6 years, I have not been able to find out how I can get my name on the list to be a PC. Can you or someone else assist me in this matter? If SC has these positions, I would love to get involved and do my best to further the pursuit of true conservatives and to clean up the party headquarters.

I am in Laurens SC, zip 29360. Any information  you or someone else can provide would be greatly appreciated!

The very first sign the American people were given that demonstrated Obama’s inability to govern stupid land, much less this great country, was his choice of Biden as his VP. Folks on the left of center warned him not too, we laughed when he chose him, either way it was dumb. For those of us who have been familiar with Biden’s mouth, we knew he would blunder time after time during Obama’s run to the White House and after he won it.

But the latest Biden uh-oh is far from being a blunder, it is just a plain out ignorant, anti American rant by a man who represents his party and their desire to eliminate America’s superiority and its freedoms. In the last nearly two years, we have seen a constant attack on our freedom and our way of life, we have seen our constitution stomped on all in the name of passing laws that will "benefit" us, and we have seen our supposed leaders, you know the ones who say they want to make a better and stronger America, constantly trash this country by bringing in foreign leaders to admonish us and by using their words to demonize us and relegate us to a low standing in the world community.

Time for all those who find the attacks on our country detestable to act. Does not matter if you are liberal, conservative, republican or democrat, or anywhere in the middle. If you find the latest Biden comment wrong and the constant actions of this administration and the congress wrong and reprehensible, time to speak up. Call your local representative and have them speak out against this BS for your town and state. Call your congressional reps and convince them to tell Biden and Obama, those words were not OK and will not be accepted. Flood the phone lines, fill the email boxes, fill their office with so much mail they are forced to listen and to take a stand against the constant verbal attacks against the greatness, superiority, and supremacy of the country we all live in of the ones elected to be the leaders. Time to act! Let Obama and Biden know that if they are unable to lead us to higher greatness or have the intent to remove us from being the leaders of this world, they are fired effective immediately.

It’s not unheard of for Vice President Biden to get lost in the moment, but during a speech earlier this month to the European Parliament his flattery of the host may have gone a bit overboard, ceding Washington, D.C.’s role as the world’s center of liberty.

The U.S. vice president, opening his address in Belgium, argued that Brussels — considering its rich history and abundance of international institutions — could well be the "capital of the free world."

He suggested that Washington, D.C., his home, is undeserving of that title — notwithstanding its wealth of global organizations and the countless international summits that take place there.

"As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, D.C. as the ‘capital of the free world,’" Biden said . "But it seems to me that in this great city, which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title."

Biden’s trip to Europe in early May came in the immediate aftermath of the attempted Times Square bombing and his comings and goings were not widely reported. The above comment was made during his May 6 address to the European Parliament.

Biden used the speech to discuss tackling the threats of nuclear proliferation, climate change and international terrorism and stress the importance of the United States’ alliance with Europe.

"We need each other more now than we have ever," Biden said.

Biden said he was "particularly honored" to address the body, "as a lawmaker for more than 36 years in our parliament."

I saw a quote on here the other day that I just loved. It went something like this, soapbox, debate, ballot box, bullets and use them in that order.

My question is, just how close are we to bullets. Once again Obama and his administration are thumbing their nose at us and the states. Arizona had enough. They had enough of the half a million criminals living in their state, had enough of the millions of dollars real citizens were paying to keep these folks up, tired of the federal government not doing their job, so they took the job into their own hands and rightfully so. They did not make a new law up for enforcement of their border, they simply copied the current federal law, but gave power to the officers doing the job. They clearly stated that racial profiling would not only be not OK, but it would be illegal. Yet day after day the POS in office and his cronies spoke out against the law even though they had not read it. They even went as far as bringing in the Mexican president to trash the people of Arizona and all those who support the bill, lets remember over 70% in Arizona and over 60% in the country support the law, and the democrats applauded a foreigner trashing our citizens.

But wait it gets worse. Now Obama’s appointee to ICE has made it clear that the fed may not, which means they will not, accept illegals  captured by Arizona cops who are turned over to ICE. Is he serious and why is Obama not retracting the statement by saying that while he does not agree with the law having not read it, but until it is thrown out, he will force his federal officers to enforce the law?  Janet Napilatano has also stated that the federal government and ICE is not required to accept those deemed criminal by a state. In what world does she live in where United States law enforcement officers are not required to enforce a law?

Well we have had enough. There is not a cop in this country that would keep his or her job if they refused to enforce a lawful order or law. In fact they may even find themselves with cuffs on their wrists.We know, Mr Obama, that you feel you are above our laws. You have demonstrated this time and time again. We know you think you are smarter than the rest of us and that you will decide what is best for us all. But enough is enough and if you are the jokes you put in power keep thumbing your noses at us, keep abusing our rights, keep ripping our constitution apart, and continue to attempt forced sexual intercourse with us without at least being decent enough to use lube and say thanks at the end, we will fight back. We have been and still are willing to try to vote you out in November of this year and in November of 2012, but do not push us much more. We will enforce our borders with our without you, and if you keep trying to stick your nose in our business and keep getting in the way, do not cry foul when you get winged. And push us much more and the men and women who fought for the countries freedom in our first war, will not be the last ones to do the same.

A man backed into a corner has nothing to do but come out swinging. You, Mr Obama, are not bad enough to handle us when we start swinging!

Top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

"I don’t think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper.

The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws.

The law, which criminalizes being in the state illegally and requires authorities to check suspects for immigration status, is not "good government," Morton said.

In response to Morton’s comments, DHS officials said President Obama has ordered the Department of Justice to examine the civil rights and other implications of the law.

"That review will inform the government’s actions going forward," DHS spokesman Matt Chandler told Fox News on Friday.

Meanwhile, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said ICE is not obligated to process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

"ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel," Napolitano said. "It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport persons delivered to it by any government agents, even its own."

Morton, according to a biography posted on ICE’s website, began his federal service in 1994 and has held numerous positions at the Department of Justice, including as a trial attorney and special assistant to the general counsel in the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and as counsel to the deputy attorney general.

Border apprehensions in Arizona, where roughly 500,000 illegal immigrants are estimated to be living, are up 6 percent since October, according to federal statistics. Roughly 6.5 million residents live in Arizona.

We all remember how Obama and the other democrats blamed Bush for every single thing that ever happened anywhere during his tenure as President. When it was too warm, Bush’s fault. Too cold, Bush’s fault. When levies broke that were built long before Bush due to a natural storm, Yep you guessed it, Bush’s fault. Hell, he even took the blame when a democrat farted in congress and stunk the area up all because Bush should have known it was coming and evacuated the area.

Well now the tables are turned, Obama is in charge, and this story is a lot more serious than 97% of what Bush got blamed for.

Obama is commander in chief, he is the one who has appointed the leadership of our military. He is the one who allows procedures to remain in place or be implemented. So can we in good faith blame the almighty one for what has happened?

The answer is a resounding yes and Obama needs to know he, not anyone else, is at fault for this and for the sake of our countries well being, something better be done now to fix this issues and others like it.

FORT WORTH, Texas – A Texas man with no military experience tricked the Army into letting him enter a reserve unit as a noncommissioned officer earlier this year, a deception that placed an untrained soldier in a leadership position in a time of war, an Associated Press investigation has found.

The revelation comes just months after the Army drew criticism for failing to flag the suspicious activities of the Army psychiatrist now charged with killing 13 and wounding dozens of others at Fort Hood.

The case, detailed in court records and other documents examined by the AP, raises more questions about the Army’s ability to vet soldiers’ backgrounds as it faces continued pressure from Congress over its screening and records system. While the soldier never deployed overseas, some say the case demonstrates how easily someone could pose as a member of the U.S. military .

Jesse Bernard Johnston III, 26, joined the Army Reserve in February as a sergeant and was assigned to the Corps Support Airplane Company based at the Fort Worth Naval Air Station . But he wasn’t qualified to hold that rank, according to military records obtained by the AP. The records show that Johnston’s only military experience was attending part of a 12-week Marine officer candidate course for college students in 2004.

Maj. Shawn Haney, spokeswoman for Marine Manpower and Reserve Affairs, said Johnston didn’t complete the course’s final six weeks. "He was never considered a Marine," she said.

The matter, currently under investigation by the Army, means a soldier received a security clearance and was in position to lead troops in combat even though he hadn’t gone through basic training or spent any time in the service . The Corps Support Airplane Company has been deployed in Iraq , providing pilots as well as intelligence and support personnel for an aviation battalion set up to destroy improvised explosive devices.

If it’s proven that Johnston gained his Army rank based on a phony Marine record, it would be the first documented case of so-called "stolen valor " in which the military was duped during the enlistment process, according to watchdogs of such fraud. Most cases involve attempts to get veterans’ benefits or other forms of financial gain. Congress attempted to crack down on military impostors in 2005 by passing a law that makes it a crime to claim false decorations or medals.

"This just raises some incredibly significant issues at a time when this country is involved in a global war on terror," said Rep. Mike Coffman , a Colorado Republican who served with the Marines in Iraq and the first Gulf War . "If this person was able to penetrate the military fraudulently, you have to ask the question: Couldn’t somebody who was out to do harm to our country do the same thing?"

Coffman is pushing for the creation of a single database for all military records as a step toward eliminating fraud.

Army officials, citing an ongoing investigation, declined to provide details of Johnston’s enlistment or say whether he’s suspected of providing false documents or using some other means to make himself out to be an ex-Marine.

Questions about Johnston were raised by an officer who grew concerned when Johnston couldn’t satisfactorily explain how he got certain Marine medals and ribbons that he displayed. The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said he contacted Marine and Army legal authorities and learned from the Marines that Johnston never served.

Lt. Col. Maria Quon, spokeswoman for the Army’s Human Resources Command , said her database contains an entry showing Johnston joined the military in 2002, but there are no documents to support the 2002 date. She described the lack of documentation as unusual and said it likely means the date was entered this year. The National Personnel Records Center , which collects information on all who have been discharged from the military, informed the AP that it could find no evidence that Johnston ever served.

Since March, Johnston has been stationed at Fort Rucker in Alabama , the primary training base for Army aviation. The Army declined to provide details of Johnston’s assignment. Johnston did not respond to phone and e-mail messages seeking comment.

In a recent court proceeding, Johnston’s former wife, also an Army reservist , accused him of using falsified documents to make it appear he’d served in the Marines. Melanie Rolfing, 24, made the claim in a sworn statement filed last month in Fort Worth family court when she had her two-year marriage annulled, alleging fraud. Johnston did not contest the annulment.

In her affidavit, Rolfing said she met Johnston in 2006 and that he joined her Army Reserve unit so they could fulfill their dream of becoming Army aviators together. She said Johnston led her to believe he’d served as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan and earned a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts . He would even attend military functions wearing a Marine dress uniform , and people would come up to shake his hand and ask about his medals, she said.

"I don’t know who Jesse Bernard Johnston III is, but I do know he is not the man he claimed to be," she stated in the affidavit. Rolfing, a sergeant in Johnston’s unit, said the Army has ordered her not to talk about the case publicly.

The idea that a volatile soldier could be hidden in the Army’s ranks has drawn congressional scrutiny since Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire on his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood in November. After the shootings, evidence emerged that Hasan behaved erratically and maintained ties to a radical Islamic cleric. The Army has refused congressional requests for documents detailing what the Army knew about Hasan’s behavior, citing the ongoing criminal case.

Mexico’s president Calderon, decided it was time he came to us racist Americans and had a talk with us. He came with the intent of letting us know how it would benefit us to allow his losers to be here no matter if they came here legally or not. Now here is the problems with his train of thought.

We do not care what he thinks about us and our opinion on his trash entering our country illegally. They are criminals, nothing less, nothing more. We do not want them here no matter how much it "benefits" us. We the people have made it clear that if you want to come here, fine, but do so in a legal manner.

Number two, we do not make laws for our citizens based on what he as a foreign diplomat wants. At least that is supposed to be the way it works. Why is it he and the dems feel he has a right to lobby for new laws. They should have told him to go back home and spend the time he was wasting here defeating the massive issues he has with the drug war going on and to stop wasting our time. Not too mention if he actually made a little effort at securing his own borders and enforcing laws on the books dealing with those who have tried to sneak into our country, the USA would not be dealing with the massive mess we have right now.

Three, he calls the Arizona law discriminatory, or for a less PC word, racist. Oh God forbid a Mexican calls us racist. Look in order to be racist in this matter, we would have to be OK with all illegals, except the Mexicans. And to be quite blunt, even if that is how we felt, it matters little. This is our country, we can pick and choose who we want to live here that were not born here. That is the way it works and it works that way in his own country. Again, who the hell does he think he is? He is not an American, that is why he is President of Mexico, not America. It is not his job to worry about who we let in our country, it is his job to worry about his own people.

We should have been up in arms about the invasion from the south long ago. Sorry illegals if you have spent years here and have built a life, it is still time to leave. You are a criminal and need to be treated as such. I do not care if you are a doctor, a lawyer, have the greatest invention known to man and want America to have it. I do not care if you are a Christian preaching in a church, or a Mormon peddling your bike to your next mark, time to go. Do not care if you have lived here always abiding by our laws, you broke the law in the way you came here so you are a criminal, time to leave.

But most importantly, I do not care if you say I am a racist because I do not want you here. Fine I will wear that incorrect badge with pride. You are wrong because I have no issues or dislike with the Hispanic race, I do not have any issues with a/many hispanics living here as long as they followed the rules to get her or are a citizen. See I have to follow laws each and every day. Some I do not like, as in the forced seatbelt rule, but I still have to follow them or pay the price. And when I break the law, I do not get a one way ticket to another country as my punishment. So call me what you want, but just call me the names as you are on your way out of my country, my home. And take your President with you as his opinion will carry no more sway on my and so many others opinion.

The answer and solution is very easy Calderon, take your criminal trash home, teach them or help them apply to come here legally. Teach them our language so they can blend into our society. Make them understand we do not like criminals here and let them know that the first thing they should do is NOT break the law in the place they want to call home and be accepted in. But also tell them that if they choose to ignore these words and continue to break our laws by sneaking in, they will never be welcome here and if it continues, we will soon call them enemies and hunt them down like dogs. This is our country, not yours or theirs. Learn to respect our laws and learn to abide by them, and if they do this, we will call them Americans!

Mexican President Felipe Calderon is taking his case for a fair and orderly overhaul of U.S. immigration policies to the people who can do something about it: members of Congress.

One day after private meetings with President Barack Obama and White House celebrations in his honor, Calderon pivots Thursday to the Capitol, where he will address a joint meeting of Congress. He is expected to push in the speech for immigration changes and emphasize the economic priorities that link the United States and Mexico.

Calderon’s state visit comes at a time of renewed furor over the flawed immigration system from Mexico into the United States. From border security

troubles to questions about how to deal with the millions of illegal migrants living in the United States, the immigration debate remains politically vexing, frustrating and volatile.

Obama is lobbying lawmakers to get moving on legislation that would seek to deal with the security, employment and citizenship issues at once. He concedes, however, that he does not yet have the Republican support he would need to get such a complex deal done. Whether any progress will happen this year is unclear.

Stoking the matter is a new law approved by Arizona lawmakers and set to take effect July 29 unless derailed by legal challenges. It requires police, in the context of enforcing other laws, to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the United States illegally.

Calderon calls that discriminatory, and Obama agrees the Arizona law could well be applied that way. He has ordered a Justice Department review.

"A prosperous North America

that benefits both Americans and Mexicans is only feasible if we work shoulder to shoulder, and if we confront these challenges decisively and courageously," Calderon said at the White House on Wednesday, pushing for cooperation on the economy, migration and security.
