Who are those supporting the Immigration/amnesty bill?
Democrat/Statists look to the illegal immigrants as votes.
Union Bosses look to the illegal immigrants as dues paying members.
Corporatists look to the illegal immigrants as cheap labor.
Churches look to illegal immigrants as contributing parishioners.
Establishment/RINO Republicans look to be liked by illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants themselves looking for stuff.

The proponents of this amnesty bill claim it is to bring the 11 million illegals “out of the shadows.” They claim they will pay a fine, pay taxes, not be eligible for Obamacare and will go back to the end of the line.
First off, there are more than 11 million illegals in this country with more to come.Let’s just use their numbers for the sake of discussion. What will the fine be and what if they cannot pay? Will they be deported or will the fine be waived; or more likely subsidized? As for paying taxes; many of these illegals are low skilled, working low wage jobs and if you believe Jeb Bush are more fertile than legal white American citizens. Therefore, they will not be paying any income taxes. In fact, they will be getting tax credits i.e. money from the taxpayers, unless our tax system is changed, which it should to a flat tax or fair tax.
These illegals, according to the proponents will not be eligible for Obamacare, however that does not mean they will not be treated, unless they change the law regarding treatment; wherein the medical facility can refuse treatment. What are the chances of that happening? And wasn’t that one of the reasons they gave for giving us the abomination that is Obamacare. Then there will be the employers who will be terminating many legal Americans, replacing them with the illegals due to Obamacare.
Then they claim the illegals will have to get back to the end of the line. The end of the line should be their country of origin and it could be accomplished without passing this monstrous “Amnesty” bill. The Government just needs to enforce current immigration laws and deport them when found. If these illegals are allowed to stay; what happens to the people who are trying to come to this country legally? Will they be allowed to enter or will they have to wait and be punished for trying to do it the right way? If a law is not enforced, is it a law? The illegals should not be rewarded for bad behavior. They need to be deported. Granted,just like the illegals did not get here all at once; the Government is not going to round up the 11+million all at once and deport them. Nevertheless, the Government can let it be known that when the illegals are found, they will be deported. Then most of them would probably self deport. Otherwise, what do you say to the people who went through the process and gained access or are trying to gain access to this country legally? There is no reason to pass this monstrous "immigration/amnesty" bill, just enforce the laws already on the books.

"Boris Johnson has said the blame for the brutal murder of a soldier in Woolwich lies with the ‘warped mind-set’ of his killers. ‘One obvious point, it is completely wrong to blame this killing on Islam.’" There are none so blind as those who will not see. This Mayor is an idiot. His type of thinking is what is getting people killed. Allahu Akbar!!

Creeping Sharia! Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence for the rape of a 13 year old girl, because he heard Rashid went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless. OH?? Women are worthless, so I guess that makes it all right. Then again, I guess the victim did not have four Muslim men to testify that they witnessed the rape. Sounds like Sharia Law.

Obamacare was about CONTROL, not healthcare because everything you do can be related to health.

tommyb, you are naive. Ted Kennedy, Sainthood?

Ted Kennedy was the Patriarch of the Democrat Party. Some Democrats called him the “Lion” of the Senate; unfortunately some of us were his prey. He was the champion of nationalized/socialized medicine. There were tributes to Ted Kennedy, detailing his life’s accomplishments. After all, his name was attached to several hundred pieces of legislation, but what did you expect from a big government socialist.

Just because there are laws on the books does not mean these elitists have to follow them. Look at the tax problems Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle, and Charlie Rangel had, to name a few. If the law affects them they can change it. Like the one Ted got passed in 2004 where the state of Massachusetts needs to have a special election to replace a US Senator. Mitt Romney was a Republican Governor at the time, and Democrat Senator John Kerry was running for President. Now, there is a Democrat Governor and Ted wanted to have the law changed where the Democrat Governor could appoint his replacement.

Speaking of accomplishments, I wonder what Mary Jo Kopechne would have accomplished in her life if Ted had not left her in his car to die at Chappaquiddick. She may have found the cure for cancer, but we will never know because this selfish Senator from Massachusetts was so concerned about himself and his career that he left her in the car to die of asphyxiation.

If Ted Kennedy would have reported the accident immediately she may have lived. However, he never reported the incident and in fact the authorities found him the next day on the phone when they were organizing a search party for him.

Not to worry though, he was a member of the “Royal” Kennedy family and it did not hurt his career. He received a citation for leaving the scene of an accident and paid a fine, which was more in line with a parking ticket than vehicular manslaughter and that was the end of it.

Bill Maher states there are a lot of stupid people in America. For once, I have to agree with him, and I would put Maher at the top of the list because I believe he voted for Obama. Then there are the people in Massachusetts who elected and reelected a socialist, elitist, self-centered Senator named Ted Kennedy.

There was reference made about a letter Ted gave to President Obama to give to the Pope and the media was fawning all over it. In it he praises Obama, and why not, he endorsed and supported this radical “community organizer” who wants to transform (change) America. He also wrote he was dying and pats himself on the back for all of his accomplishments.

In the letter he states Obama is a man of deep faith like himself. Let’s see, Obama is for partial birth abortions, infanticide, and attended Rev. Wright’s radical church for twenty years. Oh, has he found a church in Washington D.C. yet?

Also, Obama’s advisor and friend William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist, praised Sirhan Sirhan (Robert Kennedy’s assassin), in his book.

Ted asks for the Pope’s prayers as his health declines and states that he has been an imperfect human being. He then goes on to state that he has been the champion for the rights of the poor and opened doors of economic opportunity. He’s worked to welcome the immigrant, fight discrimination and expand access to health care and education. He opposed the death penalty and fought to end war. Though he is dying, he is committed to achieving his political cause of his life, which is health care for everyone in the country.

He was a proponent of the poor and is for open borders because he was a big government, socialist and wanted to keep people dependent on the government for votes. What’s more, everyone already has access to health care in this country.

What the democrats are proposing is a takeover of the healthcare system in this country to control the populace. The government will have access to your tax returns, medical information, and your bank account. They will control your lives by telling you what you can do, and what you can eat, because it will be tied to healthcare. They will use the IRS to intimidate you into compliance.

The press made reference to the letter from Ted to the Pope, but did not mention another letter that Ted sent to the Soviet Union. In 1983 Senator Ted Kennedy sent a letter to the Comrade Y.V. Andropov, of the Soviet Union undermining what President Ronald Reagan was doing to protect the United States and its allies in Europe from the Soviet Union. I wonder why the press is reluctant to make reference to that letter from selfish Senator Ted. Maybe it’s because they are looking for “Sainthood” for him.

Hopefully, the proposed Government takeover of the healthcare system will die with him. Unfortunately, I believe now there will be a big push by the Democrats to get the legislation passed and put Ted Kennedy’s name on it.

‎..."we see the comments that people are making wanting to believe that Andrew was the victim of murder or even make such outlandish claims that the Obama people somehow had Andrew killed. These comments are completely lacking in any reality"... No!!! Powerful people have never had people killed. Tell that to Vince Foster, Ron Brown, James McDougal, and Sgt. Terry Yeakey to name a few.

What good is a threat if it is not followed up on? USELESS!!

Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney mention that the other have invested in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and attacked and made excuses for them doing so, thus attacking Capitalism. For their information Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are publicly held and publicly traded companies, which are part of the capitalist system. They may be bad investments, but it is not illegal, immoral or prohibited. Instead of attacking Capitalism and Free Markets they should be extolling their merits. If they want to attack, attack Crony Capitalism.

Barack Hussein Obama and his Regime called the actions of marines in a video urinating on dead Taliban deplorable and they were concerned this “atrocity” may wreck peace efforts with the Taliban aimed at ending the decade long war. The Taliban are the US’s enemy. The Obama Regime has since backtracked somewhat when Spokesman Jay Carney said, “The Obama administration is being careful not to prejudge the investigation into US Marines filmed urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban solders. We've seen the video and what it depicts is or what it apparently depicts is reprehensible." Could they have remembered their reaction to the Fort Hood massacre when Obama said in a statement, "We don't know all the answers yet? And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts." As a State Senator, Obama said we must have empathy for the jihadists who attacked this country on 9/11. The Fort Hood shooting was done by an Islamic jihadist Nidal Hasan, regardless of the ridiculous assessment by the DOD, which classified the Fort Hood massacre as "workplace violence." Another example of Obama’s true feeling on the military was his initial statement on Fort Hood. Obama stated my immediate thoughts & prayers were to the wounded & fallen soldiers. Yet, he was clowning around & giving shout outs prior to mentioning the shooting. Obama is an appeaser and shows weakness to the World endangering Americans.

As for the marines urinating on the dead Taliban it was bad judgment to do and worse to tape it and show it to the World. We have to remember, these are young men acting out in the heat of battle. And by the way they won that battle. Nevertheless, we are supposed to be better than the Taliban and Al-Qaeda animals. Some people are excusing the marine’s actions with examples of atrocities committed by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. As the saying goes two wrongs do not make a right. As to what should be done I agree with Allen West on this incident. West said, “The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter. I am afraid the Obama Regime is going to seek the maximum punishment on these marines.
