Memory of our fallen heros.

Hey yall, today it’s time to celebrate and acknowledge the selfless sacrifice of a select group. A group of men and women of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, and backgrounds. They lost their life defending freedom, liberating the oppress, and fighting ruthless enemies. Please let’s salute all of the soldiers who has died wearing the uniform regardless of when, where, or how it happened.
Today is more of a reminder of the extraordinary individual sacrifice that those who have in the United States military have made through time. Their heroic acts deserve to be celebrated daily instead of once a year. It’s difficult for me to articulate my appreciation for what these individuals have accomplished since I have never possessed their courage, skill, or character.
Their memory gets manifested the best every time an election is held, and people are able to vote for the candidate of their choice. It’s reflected whenever a person criticizes a political entity without the fear of any retaliation from them. It’s evident every time a man or woman walks across the stage to receive their High School diploma, and after worth they can choose to mold their future without having to receive instructions from the government as to what career path to embark in. Finally, it’s displayed in the joyous faces of a mother whose baby arrived in a world where anything is possible if they work hard for it.
I want to personally thank every military member who has committed the ultimate sacrifice for their country. I want you to know that every night you remain in my prayers along with those of an entire nation. Your brothers and sisters in arms right now are revered as highly as you are, and they will always have the support and respect of all of the American people. I thank God that I have had the opportunity to grow up in, and to live in such a magnificent country best exemplified by its veterans. God bless America, and may he always bless and protect those in the United States armed forces. James.

The Perfect Storm.

Hey yall, it’s that time of year once again when the mercury has started to rise, and hurricane season is fast approaching. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the allegations of using bribes by the White House for political expediency makes November a perfect storm for Democrats. It also puts quite a damper on a President’s political future whose latest approval rating has dipped down to 44% according to the most recent Rasmussen poll.
The main stream media has made it a point to place the entire blame of the leak on BP’s shoulders. They have remarked numerous times that corporate greed is the reason for why countless gallons of petroleum now sit in the warm waters of the Gulf. They do have a point that the three companies operating the deep water Horizon rig do share some blame for what took place, but last I checked the federal government has the responsibility to react as quickly as possible when a natural disaster occurs on federal territory. Uncle Sam chose to sit on its hands like little Miss Muffet, while waiting for BP to find a quick solution to the leak, and when nothing seemed to work they decided to chastise BP in several congressional hearings instead of helping stop the oil from gushing out even further. Thankfully this has caused some backlash against the Obama administration from some of its usual followers such as James Carville and Chris Matthews. It took 12 days to get some kind of response from Washington as to what to do about this environmental crisis. I wonder if people like Al Sharpton will say that Barack Obama purposefully did this to eradicate minorities like he claimed President Bush did with Katrina. One simple difference does exist between the two disasters. Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana so the federal government couldn’t react until the local officials requested help from the federal government, but the oil leak is the fed’s responsibility do to the location of the well.
Of course, Liberals would never sit still if something threatened the environment only Conservatives do that wacko’s like Harry Reed would try to make you believe such rhetoric. Some Liberals as well as pundits have claimed that Republicans are simply using the oil spill to attack the Obama administration. When in reality they are doing a great job to bring attention to themselves. Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestack confessed this past Sunday on Meet The Press that he was approached on multiple occasions by the administration with a job offer in exchange for his candidacy for the Democratic primary so Arlen Specter would clinch that seat. The Obama administration prefers Arlen Specter since he recently switched parties for his own political gain. Another claim has recently surfaced of a separate incident of another bribe attempt by the White House to Representative Andrew Romanoff from Colorado for the vacated Senate seat by now Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. All of these political improprieties are considered illegal as well as unethical. How low must a politician stoop to use bribes to obtain favorable results?
Barack Obama sealed his fate when he chose to ignore the American people’s objection to the laundry list of his doing such as Obama care. When will this guy get a clue? When will he realize that ethics are important in a country that operates in a democratic republic? When will he understand how valuable all of the core principles upon which this nation was founded are to all Americans? Finally, when will he understand that even the President of the United States still has to abide by the Constitution as well as all the laws of the land? Mr. President we’re tired of your lack of respect for this great nation. We’re tired of your willingness to deem yourself superior to any other ordinary citizen. This is why this November the perfect storm will hit DC. It will sweep up all those bureaucrats who are disgracing and destroying this country and it will drown out those who are trying to sink us even further into debt. I hope that his staff can book him a condo in Hawaii say starting January, 2012.

The Real Immigration Bill.

Hey yall, it’s been a while since I last wrote a blog piece. I had to write about the recent controversial immigration law passed by the Arizona state legislature though. What’s wrong with protecting the residence of a state by enforcing local laws?
Ok, let’s review the criticisms of this law. Some individuals, meaning the usual suspects Al Sharpton, La Raza, LULAC, Charles Barkley, and even Shaqira have all spoken out against the newest law in Arizona. They claim that such a law is unconstitutional since it allows for profiling to take place. Also, they continue to say that this law violates the civil liberties of anyone who might be in Arizona from another country. Finally, they claim that this law allows an officer to act out of racial hatred towards any immigrant that lives in the Valley of the Sun. Now I wonder what does an illegal alien look like.
Arizona has now gained national and even international prominence for passing a piece of legislation into law designed to deter illegal aliens from living in Arizona. The bill signed by Governor Janice Brewer makes it a misdemeanor offense for an individual to not possess proper documentation if they are detained for any unlawful behavior. The bill does contain language that prohibits officers from stopping individuals solely on the basis of appearance, nationality, or race. So the idea that the police will now simply stop anyone because they have an agenda against foreigners is invalid. Law enforcement officers can now ask for proof that an individual is in the United States legally. This can only occur during lawful contact such as getting pulled over to the curb for a traffic violation. Most states already require drivers to present their driver’s license along with registration papers when they are stopped by the police. What’s so outrageous about asking someone for some type of valid identification?
The mainstream media along with some so called modern civil rights activists have deemed this law as an attack against foreigners. If the federal government were to take the enforcement of immigration laws seriously in states that border Mexico and Canada, then states like Arizona wouldn’t have to resort to these types of legal measures. This law doesn’t discourage anyone from migrating into the United States it does discourage individuals from remaining in this country illegally though. This isn’t an attack on a certain portion of the population it’s a stance to protect all the residence of a state that in recent years has become a haven for human smugglers along with drug traffickers that enter US. Soil through the border with Mexico. Also, a person isn’t entitled to any legal protection other than the most basic laws of mankind if they are in a country illegally.
Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect all the residence of the state of Arizona, and they aren’t simply going to stop doing so to target a certain spectrum of the population even if that’s how some portray it. I have complete faith in all men and women who are in uniform. No legal system is perfect so some incidents may take place, but a couple of sour apples shouldn’t reflect negatively on the integrity of all police officers.
All states have the right to protect the sovereignty of the United States through local laws so long as the laws they put in place are in accordance with the United States Constitution or preexisting federal statutes. I’m sure that the 70% of Arizona residence who agree with this law should be taken into account. Every individual who lives in the United States has an opportunity to enjoy all of the wonders that are part of the American way of life so long as each person is here legally. Most individuals who migrate to this country sole purpose are to have an opportunity to prosper, but all countries have to enforce laws in order to maintain their identity as a nation.
