ELIZABETH WARREN IS AN ADVOCATE FOR AMNESTY FOR 40 MILLION MEXICAN FLAG WAVERS. TO KEEP THEM COMING AND VOTING DEMOCRAT FOR MORE SHE WANTS TO HAND THEM MORE WELFARE AND THEN HAND THE TAX BILLS OVER TO THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS. WHAT'S LEFT OF IT!
Democrats' Contempt for the Sanctity of Life
Ed Buck, a prominent Democrat donor and fundraiser, has been charged with battery, administering illegal drugs, and operating a drug house. The charges paint a disturbing picture of this wealthy scion of liberal politics. At this time, two men have been identified as having died and a third having been seriously harmed, but prosecutors are said to have found hundreds of photographs "of men in compromising positions" who may have been lured to Buck's home with the promise of money, shelter, and drugs.
This case raises many questions, not just concerning the several felonies with which Buck has been charged, but about the morality of this and other prominent liberals. On what basis could any human being engage in sexual conduct with "hundreds" of unfortunate human beings, using them like playthings and then casting them aside? What does such conduct suggest about the capacity of some individuals to use others for their personal pleasure, regardless of the dangerous consequences involved?
Certainly, conservatives are far from perfect, but at least conservatives do not flaunt their iniquities. Conservatives as individuals possess all the imperfections of other men, but they still ascribe to an ideal of goodness and virtue. The same cannot be said for liberals, who believe that they should rack up as much pleasure as possible in this world because they are sure there's no life after death.
For liberals, what happens in the Oval Office stays in the Oval Office. Many Democrats thought Bill Clinton was just being Clinton and that there was nothing especially immoral about conducting affairs with aides, state employees, actresses, and nursing home managers. Was this because they did not appreciate the sanctity of those who served as mere diversion for our 42nd president?
Just what is so appealing to liberals about promiscuity, anyway? Is it just sex, or is there a special satisfaction in transgressing traditional moral codes? Is it the idea that one is "bigger" than the law? Or is it that liberals believe that the rules no longer apply? Is it beneath them to believe in marital fidelity and lifetime devotion to one's spouse? Liberals think they are too sophisticated for this kid of trust, just as they think telling the truth is Boy Scout stuff and election promises are made to be broken. "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Yeah, right.
Conservatives are different. We at least hold up the ideal of devotion, honesty, and truth-telling, and though we're not perfect, we try to be. That's especially the case when it involves the sanctity of life. Conservatives defend the unborn, defend their families, and defend their God-given liberties. Conservatives know that all of God's creation is sacred, and it is that knowledge that makes them act with restraint and care. That is the essence of conservatism.
The essence of liberalism, as I see it, is a lack of restraint rooted in egotism and self. The Warren presidential campaign is a perfect example. If elected, Elizabeth Warren will, according to her own admission, attempt to closely regulate all large businesses, eliminate fracking and the jobs that go with it, provide Medicare for All, dictate health care decisions (including practically unlimited abortion "rights"), eliminate capital punishment, raise taxes on the wealthy and on corporations, provide free college, cancel student debt, eliminate the Electoral College, ban assault weapons, open our borders, legalize marijuana, and significantly cut the defense budget.
Warren's policies show her to be an extremist driven by ideology rather than concern for the individuals whom she would tax, endanger, disenfranchise, and tyrannize with regulation and social mandates. Where is her concern for the individuals whose lives she would alter so radically with her sweeping reforms? Those lives are sacred, their right to prosper and save is sacred, and their right to safety and security is sacred. Warren does not seem to have thought much about the dangers of unrestrained immigration or the fact that a weakened national defense will put all Americans at risk. What is she describing is tyranny, plain and simple.
The most obvious example of liberal denial of the sanctity of life, of course, is liberals' position on abortion. For any person who truly believes in the sanctity of life, abortion must be repugnant. One point six million abortions, terminating approximately one quarter of all pregnancies, are performed every year in the U.S. At this rate, that would amount to 80 million abortions over the past 50 years. Imagine the loss of those beautiful human souls.
Or are they beautiful? Liberals do not believe so. They tell us that the earth has become overpopulated. It is "the earth" that matters and not human beings. Or they say the mothers of those unborn children would not be able to care for them and that the children would just become a burden on the State. The "burden on the State" is more important than the unborn child.
What you will never hear from a liberal is the idea that every child, born and unborn, is sacred. A child is worth that burden and worth the stress he purportedly places on "the earth." A time is coming when America will wish that it had those 80 million souls to defend it and help it prosper. That ability to contribute to society and pursue economic opportunity, and to fight if necessary to defend one's home, is another side of what makes every child sacred. Children are sacred because of their capacity for goodness, beauty, and life, but also because they will grow into adults who take responsibility for themselves and for their neighbors.
Would any conservative vote to end the life of 80 million human beings?
I believe that every human being is God's creation and that everyone is born with the potential to contribute and achieve. Our Founders believed in limited government because they too believed in human potential, and they feared the tyranny of authoritarianism. They had reason to fear, having lived under the yoke of British colonial rule.
It is no accident that those who seek a vast expansion of government power today also oppose the sanctity of life. A free people engaged in productive endeavors will never vote for a socialist who will suppress their freedom. What today's tyrants fear above all is a public that believes in the sanctity of life and is willing to stand up for it.

Hillary's going to get in
OPEN BORDERS FACILITATE AMERICA’S RACE
TO THE BOTTOM
“Cheap labor” is anything but cheap.
So is running for president now a corrupt Democrat's 'get out of jail free'
card?
By Jack
Hellner
Based on today's
standards, promoted in Congress and the press, Democratic
Party candidates, such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, can
greatly enrich their families with massive amounts of money from foreign
parties, and a Republican president or its Justice department are not even
allowed to bring up their names, let alone research their obvious
corruption. Most of the media and other Democrats are now calling President
Trump's bid to get to the bottom of the ongoing corruption we see 'impeachable'
and they couldn't care less about corruption as they preach that no one is
above the law.
Democrats can seek trash
on their Republican opponents from foreign nationals and not only do most
journalists and other Democrats not care, they can use a fake dossier
full of opposition research as grist for an FBI investigation in their
bid to take out Trump. Then, if Trump brings up Biden’s name to a foreign
leader, they call that illegal and impeachable.
A Democrat, her staff and
many at the State Department and other agencies can continually violate the
nation's security laws (as Clinton did) and the Justice Department inexplicably
lets her off. Most journalists and other Democrats support her and call it
partisan to look at the clear violations of the law as they lecture everyone
that no one is above the law.
A Democrat and her spouse
can physically and mentally abuse women (again, the Clinton pair) and seek to
destroy anyone who gets in their way as they amass power. Most
journalists and other Democrats don’t give a damn about any of the abused women
with credible claims against Bill or Hillary Clinton even as they say how
pro-women they are.
A Democrat commits fraud
throughout her adult life by lying about her heritage to move up the economic
ladder (Elizabeth Warren) and most journalists and other Democrats will support
her. In fact, they've made her the frontrunner in the current Democratic
nomination for president polls.
Democrat candidates can
seek to destroy and impeach Judge Brett Kavanaugh based on articles the media
has published with no evidence to support the stories. And the media pretends
their stories are based on facts. How can they expect the public to believe
them when they ran years of stories on Russian collusion when there was never
any evidence?
Democrat candidates
continually lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville and lie about
Ferguson, Missouri to gin up racial hate and violence and they are
supported wholeheartedly by the complicit media as they pretend they are the
party of unity and the truthful party.
Democrat bureaucrats in
the Obama administration, at Justice, CIA, other intelligence agencies and at
the State Department continually lie to justify spying to take out Trump while
they protect Hillary from prosecution. But if the Trump administration looks at
the origins of the fake Russian collusion narrative, that is impeachable and
partisan. The compliant media doesn’t give a darn about the clear violations of
the law and abuse of power while they continually say that no one is above the
law.
A Democrat president
can violate the Constitution with DACA, be flexible with Russia, give kickbacks
to Iran tyrants, stop an investigation into drug running by terrorists to
appease Iran, violate bankruptcy laws, have slush funds at Justice, CFPB and
EPA to reward political supporters, illegally unmask names of people
surrounding Trump, leave Americans to die in Libya while concocting a lie, spy
illegally on thousands of Americans, imprison reporters, look the other way as
his Secretary of State violates security laws and takes kickbacks, Look the
other way as Obama administration officials such as Eric Holder, John Brennan,
James Clapper, Susan Rice and others commit perjury, withhold documents from
Congress for years on Fast and Furious, prosecute whistleblowers for violation
of the espionage act, cage and separate children at the border and all his
conversations with foreign leaders will remain private.
As the media watched all
this clear corruption unfold throughout eight years of Obama, almost all
journalists and other Democrat supported him, called him brilliant and to this
date pretend the Obama administration was scandal-free as they tell the public
that no one is above the law.
Known serial liars
Clapper, Brennan, Holder, plus creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti are
treated as reliable sources by almost all media outlets as they trash Trump.
Meanwhile, whatever Trump
does is impeachable, even if it is only bringing up Biden’s name to investigate
clear corruption. According to the media, as they collude with other Democrats,
it appears that every one of Trump’s phone calls should be made public.
And any disgruntled
Democrat bureaucrat who leaks information, whether or not they had firsthand
knowledge, should be treated as a protected whistleblower instead of a leaker.
Republicans are welcome
as reliable sources in the media, like Senators Mitt Romney, John McCain or
Jeff Flake, as long as they are trashing Trump. Otherwise they are not
welcome.
It is so hard to spot the
bias as the media trashes Trump and his supporters, daily, with every name in
the book and lecture the public that no one is above the law and how the
Democrat party is the party of unity.

Hillary's going to get in
It
is no longer a matter of if but of when. All doubts about Hillary's 2020
plans should have been erased by her appearances this week promoting the book
that she and her daughter “wrote” to say nothing about her mien! She
endlessly reprised her absurd claim
that the election was stolen from her, called for Trump's impeachment, and even
admitted to her gutsiness for standing by her man.
I
think she has always been in the race, covertly, and that she and Bill always
assumed that no candidate would arrive at the convention with enough delegates
to win the nomination on the first ballot, at which point she could be put
forth as a compromise.
Biden's
done for; there is no way he is going to survive the imbroglio surrounding his
son's machinations and profiteering in Ukraine and China. There's too
much there there. It will become inescapable, even to the unwashed, that
the only reason money flowed to Hunter Biden was to gain influence with Joe or
gain benefits through Joe and his network of friends and allies.
Joe’s
always been a placeholder for Hillary, whether he realizes it or not. It’s all
has changed now because Biden's done, and could precipitate Hillary's early
entry into the fray, as not only Biden but Bernie Sanders may be leaving the
field. With their supporters potentially up for grabs, Elizabeth Warren could
end up with a first ballot victory.
Hillary
has to know that she is considered to be unlikable, but I think it is a given
that no one likes Warren,
either. Daniel Greenfield compares her to Hillary here:
Warren’s likability deficit has nothing to do
with her gender....[She ripped] off asbestos victims while pocketing a tidy
sum....The ‘Hillariness’ of Warren doesn’t [just] lie in their shared fabulism
or lack of ethics....[her] a complete lack of qualifications....[or because
both are] inauthentic scolds who suffer from hall monitor syndrome. They spent
their entire lives breaking every rule they could find while awkwardly
fantasizing about running every tiny detail of everyone else’s
lives....[They're] both unlikable because you can’t picture either one having
any fun....[C]ombine that with an obsessive need to monitor, regulate and
eradicate other people’s fun, and you have the miserable essence of the
progressive movement.
Hillary,
and Bill, know that this is their [third] last chance, and they're not going to
let another woman snatch it from her, as that “articulate and
bright and clean and a nice-looking” black guy or that entitled creep
did. So, keep an eye out, for “when” is going to be sooner than anyone
expected.
Now,
can she win this time? Only a fool would count her out. She won't
lose Biden's supporters. Just being a woman will get her many of Warren's
female supporters. Despite Trump's inroads with African-American and
Hispanic voters, she'll find considerable support in those groups. Wall
Street, Hollywood, and the MSM love her. Traditional Democrats, not
wanting four more years of uproar, may return to the fold over Ukraine and the
like.
She'll
work harder this time, if she can uphold under the effort, bringing
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin into the picture.
She'll be better prepared to debate Trump, but that may not mean much since
Trump's hard to out-debate.
Settle
into the chair, get out the popcorn, the show's about to begin. If you
doubt it, then I have a walking trail in Chappaqua to sell you.

OPEN BORDERS FACILITATE AMERICA’S RACE
TO THE BOTTOM
“Cheap labor” is anything but cheap.
January
2, 2019
For decades the United States government, on all levels, has
betrayed its own citizens, promoting open borders policies that have come to
undermine national security, public safety, public health, and jobs and wages
for American workers.
The massive influx of alien children who lack English language
proficiency also has a profound impact on the education of American kids.
Increasingly schools across the United States are forced to provide costly ESL
(English as a Second Language) services draining funds that could and should be
used to provide quality education for American children. Additionally, as
autism rates soar and with it the growing need for special services and early
intervention for such learning challenged children, money that should be spent
on those vital programs that could help so many of those children live better
and more productive lives is being used, instead, to fund those ESL programs
for illegal aliens and frequently the children of illegal aliens who do not
speak English in their homes.
When early intervention is withheld from at-risk students, the
results are frequently catastrophic, yet with all of the emotional arguments
posed by the immigration anarchists who call for compassion for illegal aliens,
their calls for compassion utterly disregard the plight of American
children.
Open borders policies permit huge numbers of foreign workers to enter
the United States and displace American workers, not because American’s “won’t
do these jobs” as claimed by the duplicitous politicians, but because these
foreign workers are willing to accept lower wages and worse conditions than
would the American workers whom they displace.
We can all think back to the days when we were growing up and
sought our very first jobs to provide us with some spending money, enabling us
to put our foot on the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
We often encountered the conundrum of not being able to get a job
without a reference. In order to get a reference we had to have a
previous employer vouch for us. This made getting that very first job all
the more difficult and, at the same time, all the more important.
I remember my first job, when I was 14 yeas old, working during my
summer vacation in a Kosher delicatessen, a short bike ride from home in
Brooklyn where I washed dishes, fried potatoes and served hot dogs at the
counter, waited on tables and delivered sandwiches to the women who spent hours
at the nearby beauty parlors.
It was exciting and empowering to be earning money instead of
asking my parents for an allowance. Although I didn’t realize it at the
time, that job also provided me with an education in life lessons, teaching me
to be responsible, punctual and take instructions from an employer. That
job also taught me the value of money, I was far less likely to squander money
when I had to work so hard to earn it.
Finally, that job provided me with that important first reference
that helped me get other jobs in the future as I climbed the economic ladder to
a successful life.
Many of my friends also worked in nearby restaurants. Brooklyn has
no shortage of great places to eat, often small “mom and pop” restaurants and
everyone of those establishments routinely hired teenagers and college students
who were desperate to earn money.
Today most of those jobs in all too many local restaurants and
other businesses are not taken by teenage American kids, but but illegal aliens,
thereby shutting out Americans.
Consequently, these American kids are often unable to get that
first job that would mean so much to them and provide them with important life
lessons including a sense of self-worth and empowerment.
Unable to find legitimate employment, some kids, particularly in
the poor neighborhoods, resort to committing crimes to get their hands on some
money to take a girl on a date or make purchases. This often puts these
teenagers on a trajectory that does not end well for them or for their
communities, or for America.
Illegal alien day laborers often displace construction workers,
resulting in massive unemployment for American and lawful immigrant workers,
boosting the profits of their employers who hire them “off the books” and pay
them extremely low wages.
The open-borders/immigration anarchists are quick to invoke
arguments about the need for compassion. The reality is that there’s no
compassion in the exploitation of vulnerable foreign workers nor is there
compassion in the destruction of wages and jobs for Americans.
Now with the legalization of marijuana in many cities and states
across the United States the issue not being raised in the media is that
inasmuch as many companies test their employees for illegal drugs, it is likely
that those who are encouraged to smoke marijuana will lose their jobs, perhaps
leading to the globalists claiming that not only are lazy Americans not willing
to take physically demanding jobs, and too dumb to take hi-tech jobs but are
now too stoned to take any jobs.
The displacement of American workers is not limited to the
economic bottom rung jobs. America has been increasingly importing
computer programmers and other hi-tech workers from India and other countries
to displace Americans.
The Democratic Party used to act in the interests of American
workers and, as a part of their efforts to protect the jobs and wages of
Americans, opposed the importation of foreign workers. Today, the
Democratic Party no longer represents American workers and, in fact, has come
to betray American workers and their families. Today’s Democratic Party
insists on raising the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour to achieve “wage
equality.” This works out to an annual wage of slightly more than
$30,000. The question that is never asked, particularly by the mainstream
media is: “with whom would these workers become equal?”
It would be one thing if they insisted on a $15.00 minimum wage to
help America’s working poor. But to tout that wage as a means of
achieving “wage equality” should give all Americans cause for pause.
As I noted in an article I once wrote about the veiled attack on
the middle class,
The Wage Equality Deception, Alan Greenspan the former Chairman of
the Federal Reserve Bank, invoked the notion of wage equality way back on April
30, 2009 when he testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration,
Border Security and Citizenship that was, at that time, chaired by Chuck
Schumer.
The subject of the hearing was “Comprehensive Immigration Reform in
2009, Can We Do It and How?” Greenspan's prepared testimony included this assertion:
But there is little doubt that
unauthorized, that is, illegal, immigration has made a significant contribution
to the growth of our economy. Between 2000 and 2007, for example, it accounted
for more than a sixth of the increase in our total civilian labor force. The
illegal part of the civilian labor force diminished last year as the economy
slowed, though illegals still comprised an estimated 5% of our total civilian
labor force. Unauthorized immigrants serve as a flexible component of our
workforce, often a safety valve when demand is pressing and among the first to
be discharged when the economy falters.
Some evidence suggests that unskilled
illegal immigrants (almost all from Latin America) marginally suppress wage
levels of native-born Americans without a high school diploma, and impose
significant costs on some state and local governments.
Greenspan must not have gotten the memo- when America’s poorest
workers suffer wage suppression they are likely to become homeless and, indeed,
across the United States, homelessness has increased dramatically. This
not only creates chaos in the lives of the homeless and their children, but
imposes severe economic burdens on cities that have to cope with this disaster.
Greenspan went on to state the United States must accede to Bill
Gates’ demand for more H-1B visas as Gates noted in his testimony at a previous
hearing, that we are "driving away the world's best and brightest
precisely when we need them most."
Where I come from, “the world’s best and brightest” are
AMERICANS! This is what is commonly referred to as “American
Exceptionalism.”
Greenspan supported his infuriating call for many more H-1B visas
by the following “benefits” for America and, as you will see, the last sentence
of his outrageous paragraph addresses the notion of reducing “wage inequality”
by lowering wages of middle class, highly educated Americans whom Greenspan had
the chutzpah to refer to as “the privileged elite”!
Consider this excerpt from his testimony:
First, skilled workers and their
families form new households. They will, of necessity, move into vacant housing
units, the current glut of which is depressing prices of American homes. And,
of course, house price declines are a major factor in mortgage foreclosures and
the plunge in value of the vast quantity of U.S. mortgage-backed securities
that has contributed substantially to the disabling of our banking
system. The second bonus would address the increasing concentration of
income in this country. Greatly expanding our quotas for the highly skilled
would lower wage premiums of skilled over lesser skilled. Skill
shortages in America exist because we are shielding our skilled labor force
from world competition. Quotas have been substituted for the wage pricing
mechanism. In the process, we have created a privileged elite whose incomes are
being supported at noncompetitively high levels by immigration quotas on
skilled professionals. Eliminating such restrictions would reduce at least some
of our income inequality.
Generally, the prospect of high-paying jobs incentivized American
students to go on to college and acquire costly and time-consuming educations
to be qualified to take those exciting and well-paying jobs. If wages for
high-tech professionals are slashed, those jobs will no longer be attractive to
Americans.
Greenspan, Schumer and their cohorts are determined to create a
$15.00 per hour “standard wage” to be paid to all workers irrespective of
education or the nature of their jobs. This is called Communism!
Many have said that the Democrats want to import immigrants who
will vote for their candidates.
What is often overlooked is that the downward economic spiral
caused by the massive influx of cheap alien labor pushes ever more beleaguered
Americans to vote for the Democrats who promise to help the hapless,
financially strapped Americans for whom, no matter how hard they may strive, the
“American Dream” has become an unattainable dream.
