Long Time No See

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve even logged into this blog. I just don’t have the time right now to keep it up. And yet I’m always coming across articles and other information that I would like to share, so I’m going to try setting up a Twitter account as a quick and easy “mini-blog” so at least I can keep the news on this site up to date.

New Mini-Documentary Highlights an Arizona Rancher’s Life Amongst the Scramble of the Border and Illegal Immigration

WASHINGTON (March 2011) - The Center for Immigration Studies has produced its first web-based film that looks in depth at what it is like to live as an Arizona rancher amongst the isolation and dangers posed by illegal immigration. “A Day in the Life of an Arizona Rancher: Border Fences, Illegal Aliens, and One Man’s Watchtower,” released one year after the March 2010 tragic murder of Douglas’ life-long rancher Robert Krentz, unravels the mindset of a rancher trying to balance the complexities of illegal immigration when dealing with protecting himself, his family and his property from unknown, constant and potentially dangerous trespassers who in Arizona are nearly always illegal aliens.

Richard Humphries, a lifelong Arizona resident and former narcotics cop living thirty miles north of the southeast Arizona border in Cochise County, became concerned enough with illegal activity on his land to build a watchtower to help himself and federal law enforcement track illegal aliens on his 75 acre ranch. This film relates Mr. Humphries’ humane approach to curbing illegal immigration in his own words, chronicling stories about a 150 mile car chase of an illegal alien load; a close call at his front gate; a thirsty and scared woman who had lost her coyote; and a rancher’s view of the Border Patrol tasked with interdicting illegal aliens across a still-porous border. The film’s introduction provides a reality check on the extent that border fencing does and does not exist from Douglas to Nogales, and a view of ‘Los Corrales’ from the U.S. side of the border, a holding refuge for the smuggled.

This is the fourth mini-documentary by Janice Kephart, the Center’s National Security Policy Director. It is a two part film, running less than 20 minutes in total. In aggregate, Ms. Kephart’s have nearly 700,000 views. Her prior three mini-documentaries are as follows:

Her first Arizona-based video, “Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border: Coyotes, Bears, and Trails,” (July 2009) focuses on the environmental impact of illegal immigration on federal lands.

Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border 2: Drugs, Guns and 850 Illegal Aliens,” (July 2010) features footage of gun and drug smuggling up to 80 miles inside the Arizona border, showing the reality of an insecure border.

Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border 3: A Day in the Life of a Drug Smuggler,’ (September 2010) focuses on new drug cartel travel methods through footage obtained by Ms. Kephart in travels with her hidden camera guide into three drug running corridors.

Dear Patriot,

Republican members of the Wisconsin State Senate received the following email threat late Wednesday following the Senate vote to end some collective bargaining rights and stop mandatory union membership by government workers. More concerning is the lack of coverage and outrage by the Main Street media and the White House. Members of the media were quick to blame the tea party movement for the tragedy in Arizona that left Congresswoman Giffords injured and several people dead. Serious threats coming from “their side” seem to be less important.

Below is the text of the email.

Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records.
We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn’t leave it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message to you since you are so “high” on Koch and have decided that you are now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent. This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t tell you all of them because that’s just no fun. Since we know that you are not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it’s necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will “get rid of” (in which I mean kill) you. Please understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel that it’s worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!

We take threats such as this very seriously. To the protester’s credit, events in Wisconsin have been so far, largely peaceful. We can only pray that those responsible for these threats are arrested quickly and prosecuted. Lack of outrage by the Main Street media will only embolden extremists bent on using violence to get their way.

You can publicly comment on this article on our blog at www.WesternPAC.org/blog. Please feel free to forward this email to your like minded friends to help spread the word.

Let us pray that those responsible for this threat are found quickly,

Dustin Stockton, Chairman
Western Representation PAC

In His Own Words: A Radical Pro-Abortion President

The President’s statement included not one word that indicated any recognition that abortion is in any case or in any sense a tragedy.

When Barack Obama was running for President, he was described by some observers as one of the most radical candidates in the nation’s history in terms of support for abortion. Once in office, President Obama has done little to dispel that judgment. Even as the President is tracking to the middle on many issues, this is not the case when it comes to abortion.

This past Saturday, on the 38th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, the President issued a statement that is remarkable, even for presidents who support legalized abortion. The President’s statement included not one word that indicated any recognition that abortion is in any case or in any sense a tragedy. There was not even a passing reference to the unborn child. President Obama did not even use the language used disingenuously by President Bill Clinton — the pledge that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.”

. . . .

How can any President of the United States fail to address this unspeakable tragedy? There was no hope expressed that abortion would be rare, only the expression that he would remain “committed to protecting this constitutional right.” The only words that even insinuate any hypothetical reduction in abortion were addressed to reducing “unintended pregnancies” and promoting adoption. But no goal of reducing abortion was stated or even obliquely suggested. No reference at all was made of the unborn child. There was no lament — not even a throwaway line that would cost him nothing in terms of his support from abortion rights forces.

These words were not imposed upon this President. This is his own personal statement. It is one of the most revealing — and tragic — statements made by any political figure in our times.

“You don’t understand the class structure of American society,” said Smetana, “or you would not ask such a question. In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.” —Whittaker Chambers, Witness

Find out why “you can trust the Communists to be Communists” in this fascinating, forceful history that gives you the inside facts on how Communism affects you… and tells you what to do about it. Dr. Fred Schwarz of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade originally published a book in 1960 titled You Can Trust the Communists…To Be Communists. It sold well over a million copies. Upon his retirement, Dr. Schwarz bequeathed his organization and publications to a worthy successor, Dr. David Noebel of Summit Ministries. Dr. Noebel has just re-published Dr. Schwarz’s book under the title You Can Still Trust the Communists…To Be Communists.

In this new edition, Dr. Noebel added a useful bibliography as well as several chapters of his own to update us on the continued Communist assault on capitalism and Christianity. This book is an excellent primer for anyone who seeks to know how Communists are recruited and molded to become agents for an un-American ideology. It describes Communist techniques for seizing power and setting up fronts and captive organizations. Communism did not die when the Soviet Empire collapsed. It still exists in China, Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela… and on the campuses of many U.S. colleges and universities.

You Can Still Trust the Communists: To be Communists
(Socialists, Statists, and Progressives Too)

By Frederick Schwarz and David Noebel
***
Dr. Fred Schwarz is one of America’s great heroes. In his 50 years of work in the United States, he trained a whole generation to recognize the evil and the danger of Communism at home and abroad. He was a major force in building the conservative anti-Communist movement and in supporting Ronald Reagan’s goal of defeating the evil empire. –Phyllis Schlafly

America is at a crossroads. Nothing could be more important to our Nation’s survival as a free republic than the ideas expressed in this book. Its publication brings afresh to a new generation the work of a pioneer scholar, Dr. Fred Schwarz, and his able successor, Dr. David Noebel, in a timely way that could save America from its impending moral and economic collapse. I was first stirred to apologetic action by Dr. Schwarz a half century ago. His messages against the encroachment of Socialism are as needed now as they were then. Every able Christian should carefully ingest and courageously act upon the message of this book. –Dr. Norm Geisler
***
An Australian doctor said, the three basic tenets of Communism are atheism, evolution, and economic determinism. Then he said, The three basic tenets of the American Public School system are atheism, evolution, and economic determinism. Four years later Dr. Fred Schwarz wrote his masterpiece “You Can Trust the Communists (to Be Communists).” The republication of this book could not be more timely as America decides whether to follow its Christian forebearers or once again test the poisonous waters of Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Alinsky, and their swarming collectivist agents and useful idiots in their relentless attempt to dethrone God and destroy Capitalism. –Dr. Tim LaHaye

In the November elections, voters gave Republicans majority control of the House of Representatives in large part as a repudiation of the Democrats’ arrogant health care legislation. Most Americans believe that Obamacare will kill jobs, bankrupt the government, drive up everyone’s health insurance costs, put bureaucrats in charge of our health care, and ruin the world’s best quality health care system.

The new leadership in the House of Representatives campaigned on a promise to vote on repealing the health care law and replacing it with provisions that would not give the federal government such power over the lives of ordinary American families. In fact, the new Republican majority has made a full repeal of the unconstitutional health care act their first priority in the new Congress.

On January 5, 2011, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (VA) introduced H.R. 2. This two-page bill simply reads “to repeal the job-killing health care law and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.” The House plans to consider H.R. 2 on Wednesday, January 19.

While it will be difficult to pass the repeal bill through the Senate, and President Obama might veto it anyway, it at least sets the stage for removing or changing portions of the far-reaching legislation. We encourage you to contact your U.S. representative and share with him or her your thoughts on this repeal bill. These Congressmen need to be reminded that we voters will be watching how they vote on this important issue. You may reach your U.S. representative by calling the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or toll-free at 866-220-0044.

(CNSNews.com) – On Jan. 8, the day of the shooting massacre in Tucson, Ariz.,  ABC News reported that the father of wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) said “the whole Tea Party was her enemy.” But one week later, at a Jan. 15 townhall meeting-like news show in Tucson about the shooting, ABC News did not report that a Democratic activist in the audience threatened a Tea Party leader by saying “You’re dead!”

Click Here for Full Story…

U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is in critical condition after being shot in the head during a “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Safeway store in northwest Tucson this morning.

A total of eighteen people were shot. Six were killed, including a 9-year-old child and Federal Judge John Roll.

The 22-year-old suspect in the shooting of U.S. Rep Gabrielle Giffords and others at a Tucson grocery is Jared Loughner, who lives nearby.

What I don’t understand is why people immediately start blaming Fox news, the NRA, Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, etc… claiming that their “violent rhetoric” is behind the attack. That is so hypocritical because I’ve heard just as much hatred and threatening language spewed from the mouths of liberals!

Anyway, this is not the time to blame one side or the other. Neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals shot these people. An individual decided to pull the trigger on his own accord. Who knows what the young man’s motive was, we don’t even know his political bent, but he seems to be mentally disturbed judging from his YouTube videos.
