Sometimes we find articles, insight, or perspectives that directly align with, solidify and confirm previous deep vetted research and presentations. Such is the case with this:
WASHINGTON DC – Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here.
“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”
Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the administration’s new non-deportation policies.
Mr. Vargas, who “came out” as an illegal immigrant several years ago, delivered an emotional plea for the country to legalize him. (more)
It’s always OK when the left-wing praises shooters and killers. CNN Race-based contributor and Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill reflects on Chris Dorner and shows the blatent racism of the collective black socio-political ideology.
New Verb: Trayvonned. When a guilty thug is killed and the good guys are made out to be bad guys. Usage: Chris Dorner got Trayvonned.

The very, very end of the video is also a peek into the mindset of the uber-left world of race driven progs. Listen as someone says “but it’s not ok” [regarding Dorners kill spree] and Lamont waxingly says “meh”…
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made no effort to hide the fact that he believes the Democratic agenda is radical, comparing members of the party to Socialists and Marxists over the weekend.
Johnson lamented President Barack Obama’s reelection with fellow Republicans in a speech on Saturday night in Johnson Creek, Wis., calling it a “body blow to freedom.” He then described what “people who like freedom” — people such as himself — were up against.
“We are up against a strategy that is taking place by liberals, progressives, Democrats, whatever they call themselves nowadays, Socialists, Marxists,” Johnson continued, according to the Daily Jefferson County Union. “We are up against a strategy that has taken place for about a hundred years. Diabolically simple. It’s simply this: A big American government. The problem with that is far too many Americans have bought into that.” (more…)
It’s been six months since we brought you the uncomfortable story of Black Day Care workers who created their own version of “Gladiator Training” for the three-year-olds in their care who were forced to fight eachother and videotaped. In that real-life story we outlined the culture of thuggery, and violence, and how it was not only supported by -but advocated by- black women in the community.
The three women seen here: 19-year-old Tiana Harris, 21-year-old Estefania Myers and 47-year-old Lisa Parker were arrested last year and charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and conspiracy. The story is HERE.
Well what do you think happens when a generation of those who survive “fight school” reach the streets? It is interesting how Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama and Eric Holder disengenuously avoid any conversation about the violence so easily witnessed within the black community. Here is the latest example: (more…)
-Corporate profits are high, but wages are stagnant… it is therefore our task to restore the unfinished task that [redistributes wealth] opens the doors to opportunity.
-The nations interests should come before party. [cept’ I’m gonna work on my agenda regardless of what y’all want]
-We are more than 1/2 way (2.5) to $4 trillion in deficit reduction [400 billion/yr]. The question is how to cut more. [Republicans want to kill essential services, Democrats want to protect them]…. We won’t grow the middle class by shifting more cuts, “we cannot cut our way to prosperity”….. I say more “investment”.
-Medicare payments should be made only for essential services to the elderly. Doctors should not be allowed to order any test they want…. they should only order the tests that “I” approve. That’ll help.
-Why should deficit controls impact Social Security? We just need to raise more taxes, close loopholes, insure millionaires cannot avoid payment, stop companies from moving overseas and reform the tax code. (more…)
Much has been made about the death of a 15-year-old honor student, Hadiya Pendleton.
She died after being shot in a park near the Chicago home of President Barack Obama on Jan. 29, just days after she performed during his inauguration festivities in Washington. Her death was among dozens of homicides in Chicago last month, but her background and ties to Obama thrust her death into the national headlines and helped put Chicago at the center of a national debate over gun control.

Yesterday her killers were arrested. (more…)
Only in a liberal mind can all the dangers of the world be avoided, but that doesn’t stop them from turning their minds utopia into ridiculous rules to protect the children.
Given the fact that kids are now suspended from school for playing “imaginary games” the liberals deem psychologically dangerous, it should not be a surprise to find the kids are also verbÖtten from climbing on monkey bars the liberals determine too dangerous.
Safety is no longer just the avoidance of running with scissors, or the infamous sticks that can put your eye out; No, now safety and liberal safe-exercise means you must be limited to standing in place and flailing your arms in the existential air while worshipping teh Won. Let’s Mooove…. just not to, well, quickly or something;…. and under no circumstances can you simultaneously think about playing War, or Cowboys and Injuns. *spit*
(Via Daily Mail) […] Parents had spent months raising $35,000 to pay for new climbing frame outside Stratford Landing Elementary School, in Fairfax County, Virginia – and claim they worked with authorities to ensure the site met required standards.
But before a child could set foot in the playground, authorities performed a last-minute U-turn and deemed it to be a hazard. Bright yellow caution tape now festoons the apparatus to warn off any children.
The project, which was started by parents, who raised funds with auctions and cake bakes in a bid to give the 870 pupils a little more fun during playtime, now looks set to be mired in acrimony and costly recriminations. The school’s facilities department insists the new equipment must be dismantled. […] (more…)
I’m not sure who this guy is, but y’all need to listen to the way he frames the conversation. Finally someone puts the argument into perspective, AND as a bonus he hits on the law enforcement “affirmative responsibility” aspect to deconstruct the liberal fallacy.
