Don’t mess with the Mets fans, Amigo

Open borders supporters hoping for attention but getting the bad kind ran onto the field during the recent Mets/Diamondbacks game in NY. Bad enough seeing a hijo de puta gorda carrying a Mexican flag in protest, but having him and his pals disrupt the game? The game?

Orale corro!

Orale corro!

NEW YORK – Two men carrying Mexican flags in protest of Arizona’s immigration law ran into the outfield during the seventh inning of the New York Mets’ game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Citi Field.

The men were apprehended by security fairly quickly without much incident.

Prior to the game, about 40 people across the street from the ballpark chanted “Oppose racism!” and “Boycott Arizona!”

The best part?

As the trespassers were taken from the field people in the stands started chanting “USA, USA.”

Whaaat? No sympathy?

Check out the video, too.

Note to field security, next time try a taser.

The same Government that wants us to “Trust Them” with our health care can’t even manage dead people?

After the Democrats said “Trust us” and “You’ll just have to pass it to see what’s in it” with their Health Care Deform bill, despite our protests and polls showing a majority was against the measure, they passed it anyway.

One argument against the bill was “Look at what Government has done to Social Security! To Medicare! Want more now?”

They did. Much more.

Now it’s coming out that the same idiots who thought they knew best how to manage our lives are showing they can’t even manage the deceased;

Amnesty for Illegals by Executive Order now? Is this what Obama’s coming to?

Really, by now how could anyone be surprised if the “Most Transparently Arrogant President in Our Time”© would not be considering such a move, which apparently he is;

A group of Republican senators has written to top immigration officials in the Obama administration asking them to reveal whether large-scale plans are under way to provide a so-called non-legislative version of amnesty.

The lawmakers cite an 11-page draft document written by staff to the director of the Citizenship and Immigration Service that says they are reviewing several executive orders and other mechanisms that effectively would serve as a substitute for comprehensive immigration reforms.
More-

An article by Washington Times describes a memo which reads;

“In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action and the issuance of Notices to Appear,” the staffers wrote in the memo, which was obtained by Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican.

So is this just a trial balloon? If so, we need to pop it in a hurry.

Here’s a birthday present with class enough for our President

An email message titled “Will you wish Barack a happy birthday with me?” arrived to email in-boxes across the country the other day, coming from “Michelle Obama”. I got one, personalized “To Erick” even.

Michelle wants the O-bots to all wish Barack a Happy Birthday…and send him lots and lots of money;

(CNSNews.com) – It seems like a nice gesture – an e-mail message from a loving wife, urging thousands of people to join her in wishing her husband a happy 49th birthday by signing an electronic birthday card.

But in Washington, D.C., nothing is that simple.

The wife, in this case, is first lady Michelle Obama, and the message is being sent by the Democratic Party to people on its list nationwide. And underlying the birthday wishes, the message is political: The electronic card to Barack Obama also is a Democratic Party fundraiser.
More-

Then Michelle blasts off to Spain with 200 or so of her closest friends, ditching hubby Barack on his all-important birthday.

Michelle Obama will make an official visit with Spain’s King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia. I suppose that is to justify the use of tax-payer dollars for the vacation and maybe so the Obama’s can take any personal expenses off their taxes? Ha!

Mrs. Obama’s time in Spain will be closed to the press in its entirety. Including the ‘official’ visit with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia. I guess that means no photo-ops for the Spaniards.

All I can say is the Jolie-Pitts have nothing on the Obamas!
More-

Yeah, ummmm, thanks?

Pamela Gorman at Arizona Latino Republican Association Press Conference

Jesse Hernandez of the ALRA calls for a FOIA records check to see if Judge Bolton had any contact (starting at 3:10) with Bill Clinton, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, etc.

Pamela Gorman starts at 4:05, she compares illegal alien farmworkers to slavery in the early centuries, saying “government is turning a blind eye to the corporate interests that benefit”, then she stops and winces and corrects “For the political benefit of those that are in power” (heh). I like her.

Then Russell Pearce comes on and is…Russell Pearce.

How crazy are the unions getting? Watch this and imagine the fun and games in October

Via LaborUnionReport, the SEIU is now openly comparing us to Nazis;

As disgusting as this video seems, the one thing you can be sure of is that, as Saul Alinky’s disciples realize their reign of anti-Americanism may suffer a serious blow on November 2nd, their tactics will only become more radical.
More-

Rush frequently says the left “becomes even funnier when they’re out of power than when they’re in”, but I really think they’ll be more dangerous, and funny will be out the window.

The push back starts for real now. Comparing the right to Nazis for wanting law and order? Hear crickets? That’s coming from the Lame Stream Media.

RightOnline 2010-The New Greatest Generation

It began in 105°F heat in Las Vegas, Nevada, and ended in what felt like 107°F “it’s a dry” heat. People from all over the country descended on Vegas; there was a Domino’s Pizza convention, a Deaf Poker Tournament, and a bunch of NutRoots gathering at the Rio Hotel.

At The Venetian Hotel, somewhere around 1,200 Americans gathered to hear conservative speakers, attend seminars on topics ranging from “Online Activism 101″ to getting out the vote by climbing onto busses and knocking on doors in the waning heat of a Las Vegas afternoon to pass out literature and help Nevada to Dump Harry Reid.

Sharron Angle was in attendance and gave a great speech, and mixed it up with the people as well. She was totally approachable, unlike some candidates who feel they need to duck in a side door unseen to avoid actual contact; Angle was about as real a person as anyone else there that weekend.

Another eye-opener speaker was FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell, who gave us all an education on what Neil Stevens at RedState has been warning us about for over a year, Net Neutrality and the power of the FCC to take away our free speech rights.

The real stars of the conference were, however, the people. The bloggers famous and infamous and the people who read them daily, all mixed it up not only in the halls and seminars but in the clubs at night. Many a conspiracy was hatched (I’m sure), and faces were finally placed with names and Twitter names.

The people; ordinary people with ordinary lives who saw their lives being turned upside-down in the very near future and rose as one in the form of TEA parties taking their next steps to genuine activism. Get out the Vote type activism. Sitting at call centers and ringing up local likely voters to explain that the situation we’re in as a country requires drastic steps, and pitching people like Harry Reid in Nevada was a good way for the local folks to start.

One “ordinary person” with guts (even in this economic/political climate she wants to start a new business) I met was Sue. Sue was called to stand up when Roger Hedgecock was speaking because he liked her Arizona shirt. Her I had to meet, and she was so outraged by what our rogue government was becoming in so short a time that she was moved to take political action and drove up from Arizona to learn how she could be more effective.

After the last event was over, as I dragged my bags down to the parking garage, I had to stop one last time and look around the casino.

“Do any of these people know what’s coming down the tunnel toward them?” I thought, snuffing out a smoke in an ashtray by a very intense woman playing slots. She didn’t even register that I had been there.

The words of Winston Churchill in 1940 about so many owing so much to so few passed through my mind, and I wondered how many more need to wake up to really turn things around here. I have the feeling we’re still in the beginnings of the struggle to set the country back on its course, and we’ll need many, many more to wake up and take a stand with us.

Now back at home, I finally have had the chance to hear Judge Andrew Napolitano’s RightOnline speech, and his words sum it up;

“On the 24th of July, in the year of our Lord 2012; 1,200 freedom-loving patriots assembled in Las Vegas, Nevada to celebrate individual freedom. Five years from now, will there be anything left to celebrate?

“The answer to that question is up to you; we know that it is a profound ‘Yes!’

“In the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its maximum hour of danger. You are that generation! That is your role! This is that moment!”

And he’s right; we are the Next Greatest Generation, and this is our moment. Seeing the “Shining City on the Hill” infested by those whose intention is on sinking it into the muck and dragging us all down with it, we make our stand as counter-revolutionaries to their socialist revolution. Grandmothers, teenagers, even member of the last Greatest Generation, all standing as one and saying; “No further.”

And that’s what I brought back from the desert in Nevada.

That and a raging headache-but the reason for that stays in Vegas.

RightOnline 2010-Andrew Napolitano

Sadly, I woke up late on Saturday morning and arrived downstairs just in time to see Judge Napolitano leaving the hotel, so I missed his speech. People I know have seen this video *cough*EPU*cough* three times now, and as I post this from my phone, I still haven’t seen it.

Now you get to before me. Judge Andrew Napolitano’s roof raising speech at RightOnline 2010;

RightOnline 2010-Herman Cain

Yeah, I’m still feeling pretty wiped out by the activities this weekend in Las Vegas. I have a ton of pictures and video to go thru, and ideas bouncing around in my head trying to get out in some coherent form.

One of the many speakers that stood out for me was Herman Cain. He definitely said what people wanted to hear about restoring the DC mess to governance of the people and turning things around to a more sound financial footing, and he has some history in doing just that in the business world.

Morrissey got an interview later in Cain’s hotel after the General Session;

As is usually the case when Herman Cain appears at a conference, he usually draws most of the attention. In this week’s Right Online conference in Las Vegas, Cain addressed the general session — this time, thankfully, after I did — he also joined a panel that encourages activists to work with employers to teach basic economics to their employees.  Certainly, as the man who had to rescue Godfather’s Pizza from oblivion, Cain himself had to do a lot of that kind of teaching within the company first.  Cain says that one of the biggest problems facing the US is ignorance of how the economy works.  However, people seem thirstier for that knowledge now than ever.  We also talked about his presidential aspirations, or prayerful considerations thereof, the racism debate and the distraction it provides, Fannie/Freddie and the Fed, and much more:

Here’s Herman Cain’s RightOnline speech;

RightOnline 2010-A Quick video Snapshot of speakers

Unbelievably, this video was posted by Media Matters, who probably put this video together to scare the left. I think it’s pretty good actually. Surprisingly.

This may be the only time in my life I ever link to something of theirs…
