Callahan issued a memo in September  which said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading material, and/or  artifacts) are allowed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;to be given away or used during a visit."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVNEexIigPs/Tuf1aGskamI/AAAAAAAAAMY/2-66t2tTBvE/s1600/flagbible1-300x160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZVNEexIigPs/Tuf1aGskamI/AAAAAAAAAMY/2-66t2tTBvE/s1600/flagbible1-300x160.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, savaged the Obama Administration on  the floor&lt;br /&gt;of the House, saying, "The President of the United States  should address this and&lt;br /&gt;should excoriate the people who brought about  this policy and the individual who&lt;br /&gt;brought it about should be dismissed  from the United States Military."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, telling wounded soldiers and their families that their First  Amendment&lt;br /&gt;freedoms have been suspended should be a firing offense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rep. King, who serves on the House Subcommittee on the Constitution,&lt;br /&gt;conveyed the gravity:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"The idea that these soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that have  fought&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;to defend our Constitution, and that includes our First Amendment  rights&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;to religious liberty –would be denied that religious liberty  when they are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;lying in a hospital bed recovering from wounds incurred  while defending that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;liberty is the most bitter and offensive type of an  irony that I can think of."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The policy was rescinded, but that it happened at all is a reminder of  the culture&lt;br /&gt;that&amp;nbsp; Mr. Obama has fostered in the armed forces and  executive agencies, where&lt;br /&gt;extreme environmentalism, moral relativism,  and sexual immorality have replaced traditional American values. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  shouldn’t really be surprised when a bureaucrat tries to bar Bibles in a&lt;br /&gt;U.S. military stateside hospital while other bureaucrats make sure that&lt;br /&gt;terrorists in Guantanamo Bay get copies of the Koran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Announcing an end to the rule, Walter Reed public affairs officer Sandy Dean &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/u-s-military-to-rescind-policy-banning-bibles-at-hospital.html" target="_blank"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;  that a new policy "will be written to articulate our initial intention  which&lt;br /&gt;was to respect religious and cultural practices of our patients."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;  Say what?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dean went on to insist that the policy was "in no way meant to prohibit&lt;br /&gt;family members from providing religious items to their loved ones at  all."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s more from the hapless Dean:&lt;br /&gt;"We appreciate Congressman King  bringing this to our attention.&lt;br /&gt;We don’t want our instructions to be  ambiguous."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ambiguity is not the problem&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It’s the Obama Administration’s hostility to religion, except for Islam.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the prevarications that helped sell &lt;b&gt;Obamacare&lt;/b&gt;, to the lies  surrounding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fast and Furious&lt;/b&gt;, to the periodic emissions of horse pucky  about Obama’s&lt;br /&gt;“evolving” view of marriage while he’s &lt;b&gt;sabotaging the  Defense of Marriage Act,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it’s getting so bad that Obama Administration  spokespeople really should&lt;br /&gt;consider donning Groucho noses, glasses and  mustaches.&lt;br /&gt;That would help disguise them, at least, and pave their way  to enter the&lt;br /&gt;Witness Protection Program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should it be necessary to explain why wounded soldiers who risked their lives&lt;br /&gt;be allowed to receive Bibles from their families?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In a time when the United States is facing massive debt,&lt;br /&gt;plus a rising China and militant Islam, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;we’re going to use foreign aid&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;money to promote &lt;/span&gt;“gay rights” to the world. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #e69138;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking to a crowd of diplomats, many of whom do not equate race&lt;br /&gt;or ethnicity with volitional sexual behavior that has moral implications,&lt;br /&gt;Clinton urged everyone to come around to her point of view, while saying,&lt;br /&gt;"I come here before you with respect, understanding, and humility."&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;i&gt;Now do what I tell you&lt;/i&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time, foreign aid was allocated as an incentive for other nations&lt;br /&gt;to support the interests and security of the United States.  Countries did not&lt;br /&gt;get the money if they  worked with our enemies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, under leftwing Democrats, foreign aid is a tool to force a radical&lt;br /&gt;agenda on the rest of the world, regardless of America’s interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do Americans don’t want their country exporting the values of&lt;br /&gt;Sodom and Gomorrah instead of Valley Forge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Established 15 years ago, the Individual Taxpayer Identification  Number [ITIN]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;is a seemingly innocuous administrative requirement that  the Internal Revenue &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Service assigns to anyone who is employed and pays  taxes. According to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;IRS website, the numbers are used for federal  tax reporting only. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;But since ITINs, as they are commonly known, are  issued to wage earners &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;regardless of immigration status, they’ve  frequently been abused by the aliens &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;who hold them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Although the real estate crisis is fading from our memory, it’s  important to recall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;that the ITIN was the vehicle used in lieu of Social  Security numbers, which then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;legitimized the disastrous lending policy  of providing home mortgages to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;unqualified illegal aliens. With bankers  as their willing abettors, and while the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation purposely looked the other way, aliens &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;took out home loans  using ITINs as their major form of identification. Bankers, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;only  too-eager to accommodate poverty-level applicants with balloon financing  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;for homes they could barely make the first payment on, raked in big  money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;To the bankers, aliens represented the “new market.” Today, five  years later, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;the nation is still reeling from the avalanche of  foreclosures that followed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;For aliens, the ITIN is an extremely useful vehicle. Since the IRS  isn’t required &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;to share its information with any other federal agency,  including immigration &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;authorities, the promise of intra-agency  confidentiality allows aliens to file tax &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;returns &lt;a href="http://floydreports.com/obamas-amnesty-plan-would-let-99-5-percent-of-illegal-immigrants-go-scot-free/" target="_blank"&gt;without fear of deportation&lt;/a&gt;.  At the same time, holding an ITIN enables &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;aliens to authenticate their  presence in the United States and prove that they &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;have paid taxes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This  information could be crucial if Congress ever enacted an amnesty&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The ITIN’s improper use is once again in the news. The Federation for  American Immigration Reform, in its recent analysis entitled &lt;a href="http://www.fairus.org/site/PageNavigator/issues/billions_in_tax_credits" target="_blank"&gt;“Treasury Department Says &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fairus.org/site/PageNavigator/issues/billions_in_tax_credits" target="_blank"&gt;Illegal Aliens Collection Billions in Tax Credits,”&lt;/a&gt;  revealed that according to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Department of Treasury’s Inspector  General, more than $4.2 billion in additional &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;child credits were paid  out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;totaled $924  million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;per  child credit. If the household ends up with no additional tax  obligation—as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;most alien families do not—&lt;b&gt;then $1,000 is paid to them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Pursuant to the IG report, 72 percent of tax returns filed by ITIN  users claimed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;this credit compared to just 14 percent of returns filed  with social security numbers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The generous payment of these benefits  represents yet another incentive for aliens &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;to enter, reside and work in  the United States without permission. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Providing incentives to aliens,  financial or otherwise, is against the law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The ITIN is a sham that should be eliminated. The federal government  knows &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;that many ITIN users are illegally in the United States. Automatic  acceptance &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;of the ITIN without additional identification is tantamount  to &lt;a href="http://floydreports.com/is-obamas-dhs-helping-illegal-aliens-commit-voter-fraud/" target="_blank"&gt;endorsing illegal &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;a href="http://floydreports.com/is-obamas-dhs-helping-illegal-aliens-commit-voter-fraud/" target="_blank"&gt;immigration&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;At a time when Congress and the president are struggling to find ways  to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;cut trillions of dollars from federal spending, and while &lt;a href="http://floydreports.com/immigration-raids-mean-more-jobs-for-americans" target="_blank"&gt;more than 14 million &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;a href="http://floydreports.com/immigration-raids-mean-more-jobs-for-americans" target="_blank"&gt;Americans are unemployed&lt;/a&gt;,  it’s unconscionable for the IRS to ignore abuse &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;of its ITIN program  that results in billions of dollars in payments made to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;illegal

Cohn &lt;br /&gt;The Hill News &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) rejected President Obama’s comparison &lt;br /&gt;between Martin Luther King Jr. and what he called the &lt;br /&gt;“Occupy Wall Street gangs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Martin Luther King Jr. would not have backed these types of &lt;br /&gt;protesters,” West said, noting that he was born and raised in &lt;br /&gt;King’s neighborhood. “First of all, Martin Luther King, Jr. &lt;br /&gt;had a focus, a message. He was divinely inspired. I don’t know &lt;br /&gt;what the inspiration is for these individuals.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama last weekend suggested the civil-rights leader would &lt;br /&gt;have sympathized with the ongoing demonstrations against &lt;br /&gt;Wall Street, indicating both movements sought justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West slammed the protest movement as hypocritical and unfocused &lt;br /&gt;in comparison to the Tea Party movement in an interview with &lt;br /&gt;Newsmax published Tuesday evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think the hypocrisy of this movement is somewhat laughable,” &lt;br /&gt;he said. “[Unemployment] has nothing to do with Wall Street. &lt;br /&gt;It has everything to do with the failed policies coming out of &lt;br /&gt;the Obama administration.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West said he is wary of the movement because it seems to want &lt;br /&gt;to end capitalism and replace it with something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This progressive movement is really what communists were called &lt;br /&gt;back in the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. We're starting &lt;br /&gt;to really see the face of who liberal progressives are," West said. &lt;br /&gt;“I think there is a danger in the people on Capitol Hill starting &lt;br /&gt;to embrace this movement.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West's sharp remarks about the movement, which has drawn Democratic &lt;br /&gt;support, follows a week in which the Republican leadership &lt;br /&gt;seemed to tamp down their early criticism of the protests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declined to &lt;br /&gt;criticize the movement on Fox News Tuesday night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I think people are free to express themselves in this country &lt;br /&gt;on any subject they choose to,” he said. “People can have their say.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, West's perspective seemed to echo that of many of the &lt;br /&gt;larger Tea Party-affiliated groups, who have pushed back against &lt;br /&gt;comparisons between the conservative, grassroots movement and the &lt;br /&gt;progressive Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West, a favorite of the Tea Party, vigorously defended the Tea Party &lt;br /&gt;movement in comparison to the Occupy Wall Street crowds, saying the &lt;br /&gt;comparison was like "a shotgun as opposed to a precision-guided munition,” &lt;br /&gt;with the Tea Party being the more focused weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When you talk to somebody with the Tea Party, they can tell you what &lt;br /&gt;they want — limited government that’s constitutionally mandated, fiscal responsibility — they also want to see our free market and free enterprise &lt;br /&gt;systems adhered to, as well as our national security,” he said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now the spending bill is moving to the Senate&lt;/strong&gt; – the danger zone.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainablists&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are planning a major push to get the Senate to replace  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;the appropriations for the &lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainable Communities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; budget. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;The &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;American  Planning Association (APA)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is leading the charge, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;calling for massive  pressure to be put on Senators in what the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;APA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;is calling &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #00ccff;"&gt;“Planners  Day,”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; set for September 20th.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;The &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;APA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;’s message to the Senators is that the cuts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;“ignores both our  nation’s jobs crisis and the drastic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;need for infrastructure  investment.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;In fact, the House action is not only fiscally responsible  in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;a day when the government is completely broke, but&lt;strong&gt; it is a lie &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;that  the program will help either jobs or infrastructure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;The exact opposite  is true. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;" class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainable

roads, tearing down dams and the  like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;We can strike a huge blow against &lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;Sustainable Development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-4" style="color:

both of your U.S. Senators and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;demand that  they maintain the House restrictions on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainability Planning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  grants and the caps on planning &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;expenses now called for in the Fiscal  Year spending bill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Tell them America cannot afford these grants.

interests &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;out of  your community’s planning decisions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #008000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell them you oppose&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainable  Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-4"&gt;The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;Make the calls and counter the impact of one of the nation’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;most  powerful forces behind&lt;span style="color: #800000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Sustainable Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;APA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;Win this fight and  we will show that we are now strong enough &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;to turn the tide away from  top down control and soviet-style &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;government – and towards freedom!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;"

Representative in the  House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #339966;" class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and thank them for standing firm against this &lt;span

Is it a natural, epochal migration?   No.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Migrations are  a thing of a different era in human history.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Mexican (et al.)  influx is a national invasion&lt;/b&gt;.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;This is the modern world.  There are  borders.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;There are language differences.   There are economic  realities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt; It isn't just a natural demographic exploration.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;These  people are here to get something from America.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They don't respect  America.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They don't want to become American. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;  They are low-life  crooks.  Nothing more.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Well, what about earlier American history? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;  What about the  "migration" from Europe?   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The western Europeans migrated, did they not?   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;It was across the sea, rather than land, but, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;it was a mass  demographic shift--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;and it was a mass trespass as well.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;It was Indian  land they came upon.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;But the Europeans didn't really want anything else, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;nothing personal  from the Indians.  They didn't &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;perceive any 'economic benefits' from  dealing with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Indians, or working for Indians.   It was a different  situation.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The Europeans just wanted land, a new place, a place &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;where  they could set up shop their own way.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They were through with "royalty"  and "popery."   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;This new shop was to be about freedom, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;and that included  justice.  And so on.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;At least in &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; minds, among &lt;i&gt;themselves.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They didn't plan on assimilating into the Indian nations &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;which they  inevitably invaded.  The western Europeans &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;were like the Mexicans of  today, in that sense.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;But the profound difference was this:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The  Europeans weren't beggars, claiming rights from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Indians, claiming  the Indians owed them a job, health care, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;social security, or even  property.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The western Europeans build their &lt;i&gt;own&lt;/i&gt; world--yes,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;within someone else's, but, they built it themselves.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They didn't mooch  off someone else's accomplishments.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They were losers.  They were  winners.  They were strong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Mexicans are weak.  They are deluded, and are &lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt;moral if &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;not &lt;i&gt;im&lt;/i&gt;moral  about all this.&lt;/b&gt;   They see absolutely nothing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;wrong with what they are  doing, and if questioned, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;they justify it as their right!   They are the  sheep of circumstance.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Their own government abuses them, then tries to  use them; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt; the American politicians try to use them, as well as  American &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;businessmen and even private households.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The powers that be  would have it this way.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-4" style="color: olive;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Any way possible, without pride, &lt;br /&gt;without dignity, or even self-respect.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The Mexicans don't want citizenship.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;It would not be to their  advantage.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They don't want to become American.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They're actually proud  Mexicans.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They're not proud of their government, of course. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt; But, there  is a Mexican spirit, a glorious Mexican spirit, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;and they have that.   They love that.   Even the world &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;recognizes it.   So the political  manoeuver to make them &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;citizens is not something that will work at all.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;These people just want to work, make money, and go &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;back and forth to  Mexico.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;In this sense, most of them really are innocent.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They are simple in  their desires.  They are of course hit on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;all sides, because they have  made themselves vulnerable.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;The evils and perils that surround them  are the price they pay.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;It is a culturally immature thing they do;  it  is naive.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Again, they are the sheep of circumstance.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;They are shorn  by any and all who see the opportunity.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;And even this is better than  what they have in Mexico.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Or so we are led to believe.   Maybe that's a  delusion.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;Maybe the risk of rotting in the desert has nothing to do  with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;what they have or don't have in Mexico.  Maybe they're just  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;abandoned, morally and spiritually.   Family is a crumbling, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;vanishing  concept for the trespassers.   The whole craze of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3" style="color: olive;"&gt;egotistical adventure  is more important than family.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://api.ning.com/files/3YIyyIL87Dl7ch9yN1L1xGvZ7WI4V5wNuCBWfwE7sOqJmzrej-iHvW0CG5tKZRbPub5lmyP6hzBwD4lD5zbJ0d45w70d7RP3/20110904_1523.png" target="_self"&gt;&lt;img class="align-full" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/3YIyyIL87Dl7ch9yN1L1xGvZ7WI4V5wNuCBWfwE7sOqJmzrej-iHvW0CG5tKZRbPub5lmyP6hzBwD4lD5zbJ0d45w70d7RP3/20110904_1523.png" width="649" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Mexicans don't care.

font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and fellow Texas Republican Rep.&lt;br /&gt;Louie  Gohmert said Thursday at a news conference that leaders&lt;br /&gt;of both chambers  were holding up the legislation, which first&lt;br /&gt;surfaced in late March as  the threat of a government shutdown&lt;br /&gt;loomed. Gohmert said he would file a  discharge petition to force&lt;br /&gt;House consideration of his measure, which  has 197 co-sponsors&lt;br /&gt;of both parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hutchison’s bill – filed this week to replace an earlier measure —&lt;br /&gt;would require that military pay and federal debt obligations be paid&lt;br /&gt;first out of Treasury revenues in the event Congress does not act or&lt;br /&gt;refuses to raise the debt limit, taking those concerns off the table in&lt;br /&gt;now-stalled talks between the White House and congressional leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  has 80 co-sponsors – more than enough to guarantee floor&lt;br /&gt;consideration if all of them vote to move the bill to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gohmert’s bill, filed March 31, is aimed strictly at guaranteeing pay&lt;br /&gt;in the event of a shutdown, but he said he would offer an amendment&lt;br /&gt;to  incorporate Hutchison’s language on the debt limit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“If we can ever get these bills to the floor I think there will be no&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i style="color: cyan;"&gt;question that they will become law,”&lt;/i&gt; Hutchison said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: cyan;"&gt;“It’s clear that they don’t want this,”&lt;/i&gt; she added, referring to&lt;br /&gt;congressional leaders and the Obama administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two lawmakers’ efforts in the spring to move the legislation&lt;br /&gt;met  similar roadblocks, as both GOP and Democratic leaders&lt;br /&gt;focused on  getting a comprehensive deal on fiscal 2011 spending —&lt;br /&gt;which they  eventually achieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Gohmert said service members should not be pawns in the&lt;br /&gt;battle  over reducing the $14.3 trillion federal debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;“We need to make sure the  military — people in harm’s way that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;are dodging bullets – never have  to have it cross their minds that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i style="color: cyan;"&gt;they won’t get a paycheck,”&lt;/i&gt; he said&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;i style="background-color: cyan;"&gt;  “We’re taking that off the table.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the debt limit must&lt;br /&gt;be  raised by Aug. 2 or the Treasury would have trouble paying all&lt;br /&gt;its  bills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center think-tank projects that&lt;br /&gt;if the debt-limit is not raised by that date, the Treasury would have&lt;br /&gt;$172.4 billion to pay its bills through Aug. 31 — $134.3 billion less&lt;br /&gt;than expected obligations.&lt;br /&gt;Military pay represents $2.9 billion of those  obligations, and interest&lt;br /&gt;on Treasury securities another $29 billion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3056869119588876765-7416222670301601424?l=bigbaresays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/feeds/7416222670301601424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/2011/07/military-pay-guarantee-stalled-in-debt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3056869119588876765/posts/default/7416222670301601424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3056869119588876765/posts/default/7416222670301601424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/2011/07/military-pay-guarantee-stalled-in-debt.html' title='Military pay guarantee stalled in debt crisis'/><author><name>Bigbare</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17630066698474188747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M-7WctPBG-w/TLyMkogc6oI/AAAAAAAAABc/4o1uZ9auIdw/S220/me.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vsyXygpx680/TiWdG2Cm7AI/AAAAAAAAAFM/C3DhmEiiQD8/s72-c/2011-07-19_1100.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056869119588876765.post-1655252154279469435</id><published>2011-07-19T02:01:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T02:01:09.173-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nevada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GO-PALIN_plate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DMV'/><title type='text'>Nevada man sues DMV over rejection of ‘GOPALIN’ license plate</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="story-header"&gt;&lt;h1 class="articlehed1"&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="article"&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;a target="_self" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/gZj3FOxL0ylSCpEUMwKbo1W8fm8NFz1B-ZBwcyWssDlCOuA*V8bkEYHDqVKvQpEPBFtfNrQd0Q2X2C3KZ9MJQAzO082zHmeu/ns.png"&gt;&lt;img class="align-left" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/gZj3FOxL0ylSCpEUMwKbo1W8fm8NFz1B-ZBwcyWssDlCOuA*V8bkEYHDqVKvQpEPBFtfNrQd0Q2X2C3KZ9MJQAzO082zHmeu/ns.png" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="byline"&gt;By &lt;a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/staff/jacquelyn-valley/" title="Jackie Valley staff page"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Jackie Valley&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

personalized license plates with any combination of letters, numbers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;or  spaces that “express contempt, ridicule or superiority of ... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;political  affiliation.” It can also deny plates it deems “inappropriate.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;After a hearing before an administrative law judge, the lawsuit  claims &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;the judge reversed the DMV’s denial of Linlor’s requests for  plates with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;“PALIN,” “PALIN12” and “PALIN16.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The judge determined the  DMV wasn't authorized to deny requests &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;simply because they were  “political,” according to the complaint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Despite the judge’s decision, the complaint alleges the DMV again &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt; denied Linlor’s request for a “GOPALIN” plate. Meanwhile, Linlor  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;discovered the DMV had issued other politics-related license plates,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;including “GOGREEN,” “DMOCRAT,” “AL GORE,” “KERRY,” “EDWARDS,” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;“DEAN,”  “HILLARY” and “RONPAUL,” while rejecting requests for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;“REPBLCN” and  “BUSH,” the complaint alleges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;When Linlor applied for a “GO OBAMA” plate, the DMV approved it, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;he alleges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;“The actions of the DMV in selectively granting some ‘political’  license &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;plate requests while denying others are unconstitutional on  grounds of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;content and viewpoint discrimination, and should be enjoined  as a violation &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United  States Constitution,” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;according to the complaint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Bruce Breslow, director of the Nevada DMV, said Monday he’s not sure  why &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Linlor brought a lawsuit this month because the “GOPALIN” plate was  issued &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;Dec. 30, 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The DMV, however, is reviewing its policy about personalized license  plates &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;and likely will have the director or a deputy director make  decisions about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;whether to approve such requests in the future, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;“I would not have denied it,” Breslow said, referring to the “GOPALIN” plate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;The complaint seeks injunctive relief from the DMV as well as the cost of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="font-size-3"&gt;attorneys’ fees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Rachel Alexander&lt;br /&gt;7/2/2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="clearboth" style="height: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Americans are so focused on Congress and Obama at the federal&lt;br /&gt;level of government right now that most are overlooking the socialism&lt;br /&gt;creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21.&lt;br /&gt;It is easy to overlook local government since people are saturated&lt;br /&gt;with too much information in the internet age. Compounding this is&lt;br /&gt;the fact that &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_07.shtml"&gt;Agenda 21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is a dull topic, and it becomes understandable&lt;br /&gt;how it has been able to fly mostly under the radar since 1992, slowly&lt;br /&gt;working its way into our cities and counties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agenda 21, which reportedly means an agenda for the 21st century,&lt;br /&gt;is a United Nations program launched in 1992 for the vague purpose&lt;br /&gt;of achieving global "sustainable development."&lt;br /&gt;Congress never approved Agenda 21, although Presidents Obama,&lt;br /&gt;Clinton and George H.W. Bush have all signed Executive Orders&lt;br /&gt;implementing it. 178 other world leaders agreed to it in 1992 at the&lt;br /&gt;Rio Summit. Since then, the U.N. has mostly bypassed national&lt;br /&gt;governments, using Agenda 21’s International Council of Local&lt;br /&gt;Environmental Initiatives (“ICLEI”) to make agreements directly with&lt;br /&gt;local governments. ICLEI's U.S. presence has grown to include&lt;br /&gt;agreements with over 600 cities, towns and counties here, which&lt;br /&gt;are now copying the &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_07.shtml"&gt;land use plans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; prescribed in Agenda 21.&lt;br /&gt;Some conservatives are trying to attract attention to Agenda 21 by&lt;br /&gt;labeling it a secret conspiracy to create a one world government.&lt;br /&gt;While that will wake some people up, it will turn off others.&lt;br /&gt;It does not matter whether it is a conspiracy or not.&lt;br /&gt;There are people on the left side of the political spectrum - who&lt;br /&gt;may even believe they have good intentions - working together to&lt;br /&gt;spread their vision for society worldwide. Whether they meet in&lt;br /&gt;dark rooms or openly in public meetings is irrelevant; they are having&lt;br /&gt;great success convincing local governments in the U.S. to adopt their&lt;br /&gt;socialist and extreme environmentalist programs under the guise of&lt;br /&gt;feel-good buzz words. Left wing billionaire George Soros's Open Society&lt;br /&gt;has provided $2,147,415 to ICLEI. Van Jones' Green for All and the&lt;br /&gt;Tides Foundations’ Apollo Alliance are also reportedly ICLEI contributors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agenda 21 ostensibly seeks to promote "sustainability" (the latest&lt;br /&gt;revisionist word for "environmentalism," since Americans have learned too&lt;br /&gt;many negative things about environmentalism). "Sustainability" is an&lt;br /&gt;amorphous concept that can be interpreted to an extreme degree that&lt;br /&gt;would regulate and restrict many parts of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;When will the level of carbon emissions be low enough?&lt;br /&gt;How much must we reduce our consumption of fossil fuels?&lt;br /&gt;Preserving the environment is a dubious science, and what steps are&lt;br /&gt;really necessary to protect the environment are anyone's guess.&lt;br /&gt;Agenda 21 promotes European socialist goals that will erode our freedoms&lt;br /&gt;and liberties. Most of its vague, lofty sounding phrases cause the average&lt;br /&gt;person’s eyes to glaze over, making it easier to sneak into our communities.&lt;br /&gt;The environmentalist goals include atmospheric protection, combating pollution,&lt;br /&gt;protecting fragile environments, and conserving biological diversity.&lt;br /&gt;Agenda 21 goes well beyond environmentalism. Other broad goals include&lt;br /&gt;combating poverty, changing consumption patterns, promoting health, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/is-the-soros-sponsored-agenda-21-a-hidden-plan-for-world-government-yes-only-it-is-not-hidden/"&gt;reducing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership,&lt;br /&gt;and privately owned farms. It seeks to cram people into small livable areas and&lt;br /&gt;institute population control.&lt;br /&gt;There is a plan for “social justice” that will redistribute wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once these vague, overly broad goals are adopted, they are being interpreted&lt;br /&gt;to allow massive amounts of new, overreaching regulations.&lt;br /&gt;Joyce Morrison from Eco-logic Powerhouse says Agenda 21 is so broad it will&lt;br /&gt;affect the way we &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Morrison/joyce36.htm"&gt;"live, eat, learn and communicate."&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berit Kjos, author of Brave New Schools, warns that Agenda 21 "regulation would&lt;br /&gt;severely limit water, electricity, and transportation - even deny human access to&lt;br /&gt;our most treasured wilderness areas, it would monitor all lands and people.&lt;br /&gt;No one would be free from the watchful eye of the new global tracking and&lt;br /&gt;information system." Even one of the authors of Agenda 21 has &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/06/15/heard-on-tv-agenda-21/"&gt;admitted&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that it "…&lt;br /&gt;calls for specific changes in the activities of all people…"&lt;br /&gt;These steps are already being enacted little by little at the local levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the U.S. is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_primary_energy_consumption_and_production"&gt;uses more energy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;than any other country, it stands to lose the most from environmental regulations.&lt;br /&gt;The goal of "sustainability," which comes down to using government to heavy-&lt;br /&gt;handedly accomplish vague goals of caring for the earth, goes contrary to our&lt;br /&gt;free market capitalism. Even more unfair, struggling third world countries and&lt;br /&gt;communist countries that cannot financially afford to comply with the onerous&lt;br /&gt;environmental regulations will continue their high levels of fossil fuel consumption,&lt;br /&gt;and the U.S. will be forced by U.N. regulators to conserve even more to make up&lt;br /&gt;for those countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama signed &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/DCPD-201100431/pdf/DCPD-201100431.pdf"&gt;Executive Order 13575&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; earlier this month, establishing a&lt;br /&gt;"White House Rural Council" prescribed by Agenda 21. The amount of&lt;br /&gt;government Obama has directed to administer this is staggering.&lt;br /&gt;Obama committed thousands of federal employees in 25 federal agencies&lt;br /&gt;to promote sustainability in rural areas, completely bypassing Congressional&lt;br /&gt;approval. Some of these agencies are unrelated to rural areas. The agencies&lt;br /&gt;will entice local communities into adopting Agenda 21 programs by providing&lt;br /&gt;them millions of dollars in grants.&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh writing for Canada Free Press analyzed the order&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/37812"&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, "it establishes unchecked federal control into rural America in&lt;br /&gt;education, food supply, land use, water use, recreation, property, energy,&lt;br /&gt;and the lives of 16% of the U.S. population."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tea party groups, talk show host&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/06/15/heard-on-tv-agenda-21/"&gt;Glenn Beck&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and organizations like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freedomadvocates.org/"&gt;Freedom Advocates&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.realcatholictv.com/cia/"&gt;Catholic Investigative Agency&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sovereignty.net/"&gt;Sovereignty International&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;are working hard to expose Agenda 21, but there is only so much a few can do.&lt;br /&gt;Some local governments have become aware of what Agenda 21 is really about&lt;br /&gt;and dropped out of ICLEI this year. The &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.campaignsitebuilder.com/templates/displayfiles/tmpl27.asp?SiteID=3012&amp;amp;PageID=59810&amp;amp;Trial=false"&gt;Carroll County Board of Commissioners&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Montgomery County in Pennsylvania and the city of Edmond, Oklahoma have&lt;br /&gt;all withdrawn their participation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be difficult to defeat Agenda 21 because it requires changing the attitudes&lt;br /&gt;of over 600 separate localities across the U.S. Ideally, a conservative president&lt;br /&gt;could roll back the executive orders implementing it, but considering Republican&lt;br /&gt;President H.W. Bush was a disappointment in this area that may be too much&lt;br /&gt;to hope for. If Republicans take over Congress they could challenge the huge&lt;br /&gt;power grab Obama made with Executive Order 13575 and ban Agenda 21&lt;br /&gt;in the U.S. For now, local activists must champion this issue, much like&lt;br /&gt;Texans for Accountable Government has &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tagtexas.org/article/24-thumbnails/199-the-austin-comprehensive-plan-is-local-agenda-21-in-disguise-and-the-council-defies-the-three-es"&gt;done&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, educating local boards and&lt;br /&gt;commissions and serving on them. Agenda 21 is a tedious and overwhelming&lt;br /&gt;topic, and until it can be explained in an easy-to-understand way that interests&lt;br /&gt;the average American, it will be tough to beat back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://api.ning.com/files/51k-3jPGMs8YQDhjeiPpLTB9Y1oTY6NMzfUsAjeJZjAgoLuTWdvpC8SUvI4X6g7tTj15570mp8p3wsPmv3kuwfqokLg7WfRX/flags13hr.jpg" target="_self"&gt;&lt;img class="align-left" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/51k-3jPGMs8YQDhjeiPpLTB9Y1oTY6NMzfUsAjeJZjAgoLuTWdvpC8SUvI4X6g7tTj15570mp8p3wsPmv3kuwfqokLg7WfRX/flags13hr.jpg" width="550" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://api.ning.com/files/s9n1T6X2gSQDUSQhMpKEiCYpIycbvI8G3oJXkGORpKQxSGCzUCN*rijUJZPpyPN7b7rRLf3fe0AATTmFmEvbZeof7jYlaP1L/columnistralexander.gif" target="_self"&gt;&lt;img class="align-left" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/s9n1T6X2gSQDUSQhMpKEiCYpIycbvI8G3oJXkGORpKQxSGCzUCN*rijUJZPpyPN7b7rRLf3fe0AATTmFmEvbZeof7jYlaP1L/columnistralexander.gif" width="65" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel Alexander is the editor of the Intellectual Conservative.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3056869119588876765-5090395719711631659?l=bigbaresays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/feeds/5090395719711631659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/2011/07/agenda-21-conspiracy-theory-or-real.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3056869119588876765/posts/default/5090395719711631659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3056869119588876765/posts/default/5090395719711631659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigbaresays.blogspot.com/2011/07/agenda-21-conspiracy-theory-or-real.html' title='Agenda 21: Conspiracy Theory or Real Threat?'/><author><name>Bigbare</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17630066698474188747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='27' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M-7WctPBG-w/TLyMkogc6oI/AAAAAAAAABc/4o1uZ9auIdw/S220/me.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056869119588876765.post-7171328926904121336</id><published>2011-06-29T22:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-06-29T22:59:08.081-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humor'/><title type='text'>Sir, I would like a raise.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="yiv1279724037MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Employee: Excuse me, sir, may I talk to you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13;"&gt;Boss: Sure, come on in.
