The thing about the Immigration Bill that wipes away the facade of the far right as being, 'the common sense faction' in American politics today, is that the most learned and professed people who espouse their odd idea about immigration reform are the likes of Rush Limbaugh etc.
They have no facts, formulas or history to make a case for 'containing and exporting' millions of people from our country.
Illegal immigration is a fire that must be controlled before it is put out. That is the simple fact.
Unless the Right-Wing in American politics recognizes this they will become part of the problem and not the solution.

Immigration Train a Comin!
The bill is already creating schisms left and right. Marco Rubio is for
it, Ted Cruz despises it, Sean Hannity is supporting Rubio and Rush
Limbaugh says it will be the end of the Republican party.
This could lead to the birth of a real third party-to the right of the Republicans in 2014! This 4th of July we're going to see some real fireworks!
LIVE DEBATE IN SENATE-VOTE TO PROCEED AT 2:15,60 votes needed.

Big Monday! IMMIGRATION REFORM!
SET YOUR CLOCKS!
Tomorrow Immigration Reform comes to the steps of the Capitol of the United States of America!
To the Senate floor!
Yes, we've been here before and yes we are here again.
The tide of integrating with our continental neighbors is overwhelming.
Let us do this without fear and hatred, let us recognize our relatives on this American Continent.
If the Americas can come together then we can save the world as a beacon of democracy and freedom and the good life.

GOODBYE FAUX SCANDALS-HELLO IMMIGRATION BILL!
[I jumped the gun on this in a previous post, but Senator Schumer has announced he will bring this bill to the floor, this Monday 6-10.]
LETS GET READY TO RUUUUMMMBBLLE!
Immigration Bill to Senate Floor Next Week!
When the Immigration Bill (*S-744) cleared the Senate Committee last week (with bi-partisan support) it was 'the shot heard across America' potentially, but the people who will hear it loudest haven't even heard it yet!This bill (with 4R sponsors and 3D sponsors) is going to reshape our political landscape and takeover front pages from June to December. Tea Party types are so distracted by their hopeless efforts to smear and impeach President Obama that they haven't been paying attention to the slow progress the Immigration Reform bill is making and the more moderate Republicans (who support it) hope it stays that way as long as possible!
But next week, when this bill goes to the full Senate floor, we're going to see fireworks like we haven't seen in decades (my prediction). It should be fun. I hope we can pass a bill through congress (I'm sure it will clear the Senate) but it will drive Tea Party types in the House and hinterlands nuts-er.
The bill is already creating schisms left and right. Marco Rubio is for it, Ted Cruz despises it, Sean Hannity is supporting Rubio and Rush Limbaugh says it will be the end of the Republican party.

Liberal Bigotry Against Obama
Liberal opponents of President Obama show no reverence or reference to the Civil Rights Movement that changed the face of America.
Likewise, they show no cred for a Black man being the most Liberal president in fifty years, I ask why?
MLK pushed JFK and LBJ to the max and broke the law all the time and welcomed the consequences as a chance to give greater voice to his views. And MLK always fully supported those political leaders on 'his side' for progress and not war.
Martin Luther King could have pushed for a New Civil War, instead he preached Civil Rights to Victory.
The most vocal and caustic of the president's Liberal opponents present him as not worth supporting and indeed culpable for war crimes. When in fact he is our best option compared to the present alternative in the last 100 years.
What does a Black man have to do to get respect in today's Liberal intelligentsia?

ObamaCare Has Lowered Health Costs-Study
According to a new projection from the Social Security and Medicare Board of Trustees, ObamaCare has already proven to be a big factor in increasing the longevity and viability of Medicare. The report, released today, credits the Affordable Care act with having contributed to a 9 year increase in Medicare's financial good standing.

Obama Speech A Winner Despite Heckler
President Obama gave a fantastic, serious speech. He had all the
right answers on the use of Drones to shut the mouth of that frat boy twit Rand Paul, but
Paul is too busy with his Water Buddha to read the transcript. Likewise,
the only thing the USA has ever done that resembles Guantanamo was the
Japanese internment camps in WWII and conservatives criticize FDR for that.
President Obama is doing a great job and if you don't like it you aren't patriotic.
About his Heckler-
On the up side, the hyper-unrealistic-lefties who criticize president Obama, actually make him look better to the far-right nut-jobs who have been brainwashed by AM-Hate Radio-
AND VICE VERSA!

President Obama Makes Great Case for Gitmo Closing
At the National Defense University President Barack Obama made his most impassioned plea yet for the moral (and legal) necessity of closing the illegal prison/human warehouse, in Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
With the aid of a heckler (whose cause he sided with) the US president at times flared his eyes at the moral outrage of the United States holding prisoners without any chance for a fair trial. He seemed almost to sympathize with the tragic hunger strike they are now resorting to.
The president repeated his previous statement that Guantanamo Bay serves no purpose better than it does as a recruiting too for potential terrorists.
He is right, it is a moral outrage and it can't go on and the million dollars per year spent to warehouse these people is the least of the rotten things about this policy. It is long past time for congress and the nation's governors to come together and put this sad chapter behind us.

Federal Funding for Storm Shelters
STORM SHELTERS FOR OKLAHOMA SCHOOLS AND HOMES
WRITE IT
PASS IT
MAKE IT LAW.
I have to focus on the politics of this Tornado Tragedy in Oklahoma because...
THE SOULS OF THE LOST CHILDREN CRY OUT FOR IT!
IT COSTS ABOUT $500 PER PERSON TO BUILD SAFE UNDERGROUND STORM SHELTERS!
Storm Shelters, which are far smaller and less expensive than basements, are almost 100% safe even under the worst circumstances. I have priced these in the Moore area and the average cost is about $500 per occupant of the shelter. I think that if you put it in those terms it makes sense for the state to require shelters and there should be federal assistance.
America has seen more than seven decades of explosive growth in our country making us the world's biggest economy! But the last three decades of growth have been since we cut the tax rates on the super-rich to one third what they were before 1980!
Not only have we been forced to cut back on creating new and needed infrastructure projects but we've all but stopped maintaining the infrastructure we have in many cases! Decades ago these communities in Oklahoma (that we see torn to shreds today) were largely unpopulated. They were just family farms without towns and cities and THE FAMILY FARMS HAD STORM SHELTERS! But in the USA today we have proceeded to grow exponentially while cutting taxes on the rich and counting on 'raw capitalism' to keep us safe. IT DOES NOT!
In the year of our lord, 2013, in the greatest nation on earth, by God, we can afford to publicly fund the building of good and safe storm shelters for all large schools and public buildings (in Tornado Alley's) and supplement large commercial enterprises thusly.
We owe it to the memories of these lost children....God bless.

Limbaugh "We Can't Impeach Obama"
OOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh....talk about 'tough love'! Today, the fat man has sung!
As a professional monitor of wacked-out-right-wing radio I can tell you that 'El Rushbo' (as he affectionately calls himself) started singing a strange tune around the first of this year..."More and more I'm less interested in Obama" he opined one cold January morning and my ears perked up...What new devious ruse is the selfish corporatist up to now I thought (setting my 'Grinch detector' to on). But I was never able to figure the scam.
Day after day, week after week Rush Limbaugh rejoined his lament...'I'm bored with Obama he would say.' His explanation was that since the president is 'always seen campaigning' the public doesn't hold him accountable for the 'terrible state of the nation' Rush said....
Then came the latest wave of juicy issues. Rightly or not, 'Benghazi-IRS-Tea Party-AP-GATE' were bubbling along quite well in the Tea Party kitchen and El Rushbo was back on the 'Get Obama Bandwagon'. But something funny happened on the way to the forum where the president was to be served with articles of impeachment. A long series of polls came out showing that while the public took umbrage with parts of the various issues, they did not see President Obama as directly responsible and the majority of those polled still trust him to fix any problems facing the country.
That's when the RED ALERT sign went off in Limbaugh's mind..."2014...2014...we forgot about 2014!" Yes, as Rush had mentioned many times, the point of today's Republican politics had to be to stop this administration in 2014. And behind his voice you can hear the wheels turning 'We've over-reached, we have the Democrats ensnared in some unpopular issues, but if we threaten a popular president with impeachment when there's no there there...we could lose the house'. Yes you could Talk-Show-Pro, yes you could.
So today Mr. Limbaugh tried in vain to explain this reality to his audience and caller after caller lined up to slap some sense into their leader. Finally at the end of his show, sounding almost in tears...Rush bellowed "WE CAN'T IMPEACH OBAMA" and ended the show.

'Scandals' are Republican 'Cover' for Immigration Reform!
I monitor right-wing radio and so I can see right through this supposed 'Scandal' scam that right-wing politicians and broadcasters are manufacturing out of whole-cloth.
As evidence, I offer this...just go to the Facebook pages for any of the Republicans who support Immigration Reform; Rubio, Rand Paul etc. What you'll find is that, while the hosts of these pages are mostly posting updates attacking the Obama administration on one 'scandal' or another, almost all of the comments in recent months were scathing criticisms about their stance on the Immigration issue and these comments are from people who represent the far-right base of their party.It's the same thing for far-right broadcasters who are offering tepid cover for these pro-reform Republican politicians. Here's a reply to Sean Hannity for bragging about Rubio and Paul as 'up and coming stars'...
"Michael Jose Marco Rubio is toast, Sean. Give it up. Marco Rubio is Spanish for Lindsey Graham. Rand Paul is teetering, depending on whether or not he renounces his previous pro-amnesty speech."
The powers that be in the Republican party have seen the future and they realize it means Immigration Reform if they are to remain viable, even if they take a hit from their base along the way. Their base knows this is the case too. That's why no matter how much Republicans wave a bloody flag over Benghazi etc. the Bloodhounds in their base are keeping their noses to the trail and threatening to break away over this Immigration Reform bill if the Republicans go for it.

The Tea Party has yet to respond. President Obama has made many similar speeches over the years, tough love to young Black men. This is not to gain popularity on the Left, this is because president Obama is an even handed centrist.

IRS Scandal and Texas Plant Explosion
The Texas Fertilizer Plant Tragedy and this IRS Scandal both show that much of our government is too small and weak to do its job. That plant where 14 people died and hundreds were sickened had over 1000 times the amount of combustible material on site (allowed by regulations) and yet the plant had not been inspected in 14 years! And this factory carried only 1 million dollars in insurance!
The IRS likewise was understaffed overworked and under-regulated for such an unfair and rotten profiling policy to to take place and go undiscovered for so long.
Tax rates on the most wealthy in the USA were triple what they are today from 1940-1980, America's hay-day! Small Government Conservatives were the victims in the IRS scandal but it is their 'small government' policies that led to the whole mess and which are victimizing all of America as we suffer along with our infrastructure crumbling while China takes the lead.
It's sad.

AT&T Scandal
I was falsely charged for over $1000 in phone and DSL services by AT&T over a four year period. After years of complaining by letter and e-mail and at least 40 hours on the phone with their agents, I was reimbursed about half the money I was owed. I have since dropped service with AT&T, but my outstanding bill has destroyed my credit rating!
LESSON: We need more and better government regulation in this country (as we had in the past when we could afford it because the rich paid triple the tax rates they do today).
-We need better regulation over corporations like AT&T who will charge all their customers service fees out the wazoo for late payments etc. but themselves pay no price at all for taking up half my free time for years with their 'accidental' false billing practices.
-We clearly need better regulation over the IRS.
-Most of all, we need better regulation over dangerous industries which get innocent people killed with their slack practices like the Texas Fertilizer Plant Tragedy where 14 people died and hundreds were sickened while the plant had one thousand times the combustible materials allowed by law and they hadn't been inspected in 14 years!
Yes, Small Government Conservatives were the victims of this lack of good governmental over-site in the IRS scandal, but their policies of cutting taxes on the rich and weakening government are what led to it! It's not fair and it's not right, but Small Gov. Conservatives are reaping what they have sewn. Now they want a Special Prosecutor, perhaps that is called for, but remember Small Gov's, what you're asking for there is MORE BIG GOVERNMENT. When the X hits the fan on your side of the line you see clearly the need for good strong and big government in the greatest nation on earth.

Small Government Scandals
Whether it's the Boston Bombing, the IRS scandal, the AP brouhaha or the Texas Fertilizer tragedy (which is the worst of all, but all but ignored by our 'shiny object' ratings addicted news media) there is one thing you can say about all these issues...We need more, bigger and better government regulatory standards and staffing and that will take more tax revenue which rightly should come from the most wealthy who pay barely one third the rates they did in America's hey-day from 1940-1980.
The Texas Fertilizer Factory of death that killed 14 people and sickened hundreds of innocent people, had not been inspected in 14 years and at current staffing levels would only be inspected ONCE A CENTURY! They had over a thousand times the amount of explosive materials they were allowed by regulations and they were only carrying a 1 million dollar insurance policy!
The Boston Bombing and the IRS mismanagement both beg for bigger and better government regulatory and investigative powers. Likewise the monitoring of the leak of classified material to the AP which should have been stopped preemptively by good 'big government'.

The Boston Bombing and the IRS mismanagement both beg for bigger and better government regulatory and investigative powers. Likewise the monitoring of the leak of classified material to the AP which should have been stopped preemptively by good 'big government'.

If W Did it They Would Be Proud
The Obama Administration used Legal Subpoenas to stop the AP from getting a US military
double agent KILLED! It saved his life. He was posing as a SUICIDE BOMBER, so it saved many other lives too! If W had done this Republicans would be
proud!
