It was crystal clear when Republican Senator Marco Rubio announced his intent at constructing a bi-partisan immigration bill last November that President Barack Obama would not allow Rubio to steal one of the divisive political arrows from his quiver.
Nothing upsets the current administration more than having an alinsky-type talking attack point removed from their arsenal before they have the opportunity to use it. [One only needs to look at the “Alligator Moat” Speech in 2011] Such is clearly the case with the current immigration proposals.
Yesterday the bi-Partisan initiatives Senator Rubio had previously discussed were outlined. The general process includes a pathway to “legal status” and eventually to a “green card”. The foundation of his proposal is contingent upon enforcement and border security first, then a pathway to legal immigrant status.
Just like May 2011 – President Obama is HAVING-NONE-OF-IT !

I’m sure we did something like this back in the sixties, so don’t bust my chops. But, this just seems soooo wrong. Poor little fella. Will they get him back, or was this just a one-way ticket?
Maybe I’ve got a little more ‘treehugger’ in me than I like to admit, but this picture just seems terrible….. I’m definitely not a card-carrying member of PETA, but sheeesh, I feel horrible for the poor monkey.
From Somewhere In The Land of The DinnerJackets – Iran launched Pioneer Explorer Satellite and placed it into space, taking a giant stride in the field of space bio-research, Public Relations Department at Iran Aerospace Organization said on Monday.

The Algerian Hostage Slaughter was a direct response to the French counter-offensive in Mali against the Islamist Jihadists. The Islamic terrorists responsible for the Algerian attack came from, and used weapons from, Libya. Even Hillary Clinton recently admitted as such.
Simultaneous to, and as a direct consequence of, this French/U.S. Mali escalation, all foreign nationals were recently recommended to evacuate the areas of Eastern Libya (Benghazi).
The United States is now providing military assistance, logistics, support, transport and refueling for French troops in their fight for Mali.
Turkish President Erdogan took over the primary gatekeeper spot from Mouamar Kaddafi after his death. Going back on the timeline on U.S. Benghazi support and weapons shipments for the “Rebels”, you might remember Turkey being opposed; Not opposed because Erdogan approved of Kaddafi, quite the contrary; Opposed because they wanted to increase the certainty of an Islamist, not moderate, victory. This is the same reason Turkey wanted to control the recipients of “any” weapons headed to Syria.
Also, think back to September 11th 2012, and the last official diplomatic envoy who met with Ambassador Stevens before the consulate attack began, Turkish Ambassador Ali Kemal Aydin; When the envoy was leaving, somehow they navigated the al-Qaeda roadblocks that were formed moments earlier and surrounded the neighborhood.
Now today…… (more…)
When you look at stuff like this many people shudder and look away. No-WAY, this should be used to motivate light-bringers.
This level of non questioning devotion to ideology is exactly what needs to be showcased at the highest possible reaches far and wide. This is the “collective” dear citizen mindset, to which President Obama speaks, and demands you adhere.
WASHINGTON DC – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified at the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, answering questions on the attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) pressed her on the anti-Islamic video that was originally blamed for the attack. “When you briefed us, you said unequivocally this was a result of a video and I remember in fact you got pretty upset about it when somebody suggested this was a terrorist attack.” (more…)
House Republicans asking questions about facts, aspects and details surrounding Benghazi….. House Democrats swooning while telling Hillary what a wonderful gift to the progressive universe she is, and positioning her for a 2016 presidential race.
