Democrats the party of 'I don't know'

Posted: April 15, 2014 - 11:25pm

Republicans are racists, have a war on women, don’t want minorities to vote, don’t want immigration reform, don’t want health care reform and don’t want environmental regulation that restricts free enterprise.

What they do want is an end to long-term unemployment compensation, food stamps and legal abortions; an expanded military budget, free reign for big business to make big bucks and more guns.

These are the stereotypical accusations and characterizations now being slung with abandon as the heat is turned up on Democrats. All of it is absurd, but unfortunately, and more importantly, it is pushed with such vehemence and regularity that low-information voters come to believe nonsense is truth.

Nancy Pelosi, limousine Democrat and bastion of liberal baloney, opined last week that racial taboos must be the reason behind Republican’s reluctance to endorse immigration reform. Rep. Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, echoed her remarks.

So did Attorney General Eric Holder who believes the tough questions coming at him regarding Fast and Furious, the Benghazi attack and IRS corruption were driven because of the color of his skin.

President Obama then piled on, charging the GOP with leading the debate on voter registration that puts minorities at a disadvantage.

Mounting a defense against this drivel is wearisome; which, of course, is exactly why the barrage has been unleashed. The race card, the sexist card and the heartless card are played in desperation, as a last ditch effort when the opposition is pressing advantage and the prospect of defeat becomes real.

Distractions notwithstanding, serious questions remain.

While an underling got the hatchet, recently-uncovered emails implicate Lois Lerner and government inter-agencies in their quest to persecute conservative groups and individuals. The Republican’s attempt to understand the depth of IRS corruption is not a witch hunt nor a war on women.

The IRS started the war on Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True the Vote — and every American citizen should shudder at her personal saga of pursuit by a vindictive federal government.

Eric Holder should stop whining about Congress’s “divisive attacks” and start answering the questions: Why has he not been able to determine anything about the most egregious, illegal and deadly endeavors of our federal government agencies during this administration? He’s not being persecuted because he’s black. The interrogation is because he’s either the most corrupt or incompetent AG in a lifetime.

The only one who objects to rules against cheating is a cheater. Anyone who believes voter fraud has not occurred — by both parties — is a fool. And the notion of disenfranchisement of minorities is unfounded — as many poor whites would be affected as blacks. This is about securing our most precious right, period.

Objection to amnesty and insistence on border security is not objection to immigration reform. Many legal immigrants object to the Democrats’ formula for embracing illegals.

Finally, Democrats pinned Republicans with the “war on women” because they didn’t want to pin themselves with the war against unborn babies.

Cards played in desperation will make for a losing hand come November.

W work visas

As someone who knows what is in the draconian S.744, The Immigration Reform and Modernization Act, I can share with you why most republicans do not want to have any part of the Bill passed. is because it is not immigration reform it is a Bill designed to allow even more illegal immigration in the United States and no penalties for illegals who broke our laws, and democrats allowed an open border non profit La Raza (NCLR) help outline this bill...behind closed doors. http://a4cgr.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/02-1359/

1. In S.744 the democrats and some republicans (Mark Sanford) want to give a W work visa to "provisional aliens" in construction, long term health care and hospitality industries, jobs low income and middle class American citizens already do.

2. In S.744 they say there are penalties like paying back taxes, a fine, and get to the back of the line. Instead in S.744 it states if you can prove you live below the poverty level you pay nothing. Illegal aliens who come here illegally are mostly poor and uneducated.

3. In S.744 "provisional aliens" can instantly apply for government handouts. Seventy-seven to be exact.

4. In S.744 "provisional aliens" have to learn to read, write and speak the English language....if they want to.

5. In S.744 "provisional aliens" can keep their jobs...even though E-verify would become mandatory in all of the states, although Obama just announced though he will not punish companies who hire illegals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoWlJ77pMyg&feature=player_detailpage

6. In S.744 "provisional aliens" can stay and live in the US for ten years to become citizens...not be deported as long as they do not commit any crimes in those ten years. Although Obama executive ordered in 2013 that illegals have to commit THREE CRIMES FIRST before they can be deported.

7. In S.744 "provisional aliens" who are incarcerated can apply for this status, even though by executive order prisoners have been released onto US soil the past two years. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03/01/dhs-released-2000-illegal-imm...



8. In S.744 "provisional aliens" can bring ALL of their family members to the US.


So you can see why nothing has been done about our Immigration Laws (that still do exist) because Obama is over reaching his power as President and changing Immigration Laws in the US to allow the invasion by foreigners who not assimilate into our culture, burden state budgets, and overcrowd schools, jails and cause traffic congestion.
Everyone can see the invasion by illegals in our very own communities. Ask yourself, how are they getting here, where are they working, where are they living? Having to build not one but two more schools to house illegals kids should be a major eyeopener for Beaufort County Council and Bluffton and surrounding counties and start passing more Immigration ordinances to stop the invasion. Beaufort County is rapidly becoming a sanctuary for illegals and it must be stopped.

Dems are natural born failures.

The brain dead world of the "politically comatose" is no different than any other junkie.....they blame everyone else for their failures. The over whelming fact......progressive liberal democrats are world class hypocrites.
Every time we Americans are accused of anything....we know it is they who are guilty and trying to cover for their miserable failures.
Just look at Obozocare. Obozo is lying and people are dying.
They tell the moocher class that it is a success and they lap it up. They offer and have no proof of it. Watch the congressional hearings. When asked for supporting FACTS the ruling class has a common theme "you do not want to go there buddy!" World class jerks.
Government is the problem....never the solution.
