In case you haven’t gotten this: I think illegal immigration is a REAL problem.Anyone who thinks otherwise is either being deliberately dishonest, or has no idea how bad things are.

Here in Central Florida, hardly a week goes by where I do not respond to a car accident where the at fault driver has no identification beyond a Mexican passport, if they even have that. No insurance, no driver’s license, no valid vehicle registration. They are ticketed, and simply are never heard from again. The victim is forced to pay for the damage to his property, the illegal walks away.

Then there is this: One illegal has previously been deported 9 times and is now the man accused of raping a woman in Edmonds, WA. Here is how the witness described the scene:

“I could see the back of his head. I could see his pants were down. I could see her lying on the ground. I could hear her crying, but I couldn’t really see her face,” said Klein.

I would add that if this had been me as the witness, I would also have seen my sight picture. Rape is a forcible felony in the state of Florida, and deadly force is authorized to prevent the commission of a forcible felony in Florida.

This scumbag had a long record:

Madrigal’s arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989. That’s the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California. 

He was deported a couple of times after that. Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco. Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August.

He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000. In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again. And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times.

Illegal immigrants only get here because they are breaking the law. That makes them criminals by definition. Criminals do not respect the law. Want to know what happens when you stand by and allow illegal immigration? You get to run Casinos and sell Cigarettes. Instead of the Redskins, perhaps they will name a soccer team the “San Antonio Gringos”

Arizona has come under fire because of the new law that does nothing but give state authorities the same power to enforce Federal law that Federal authorities have. The Second Amendment has come under fire from certain people who claim that it only applies to the militia. I say we perform a test. The Governors of the southern tier of states should activate the National Guard and deploy them along the border with orders to repel the armed invaders from the south. How can people be opposed to repelling an invasion?

I am taking a class on Critical thinking, as it is a required course for the degree I am seeking. (It seems like I am always in school at least part time.) The class has a web page, and the home page has this on it:

A scholarly study finds it was the 43rd president’s personality, not brain capacity, that limited his functional abilities. This is an important distinction. It is not that the former chief executive was incapable of learning (the “Bush is dumb” meme), but that he did not want to learn, and did not believe it was something he needed to do.

That isn’t even what the study says. Looking at the study that the Professor claims shows that the former President refused to learn, it actually said this:

[The] best studies, in which raters evaluate statements without being aware of their source, suggest that Bush lacks integrative complexity and thus views issues without nuance. The leading personality theory (the “5-Factor Model”), as measured by the NEO Personality Inventory, suggests that Bush is highly extraverted but not very agreeable or conscientious. He also rates low on “Openness to Experience.” Similarly Immelman (2002) had expert raters judge Bush’s personality using the Millon Inventory of Diagnostic Criteria. Raters identified Bush as fitting the “Outgoing,” “Dominant (Controlling),” and “Dauntless” personality patterns, which together constitute a style given to lack of reflection, superficiality, and impulsivity.

You would expect a leader of a large nation to be Dominant. You don’t choose a sniveling Beta male to lead a nation. Also, who are the “raters” that rated him? This is not a study, it is an opinion poll. The very title of the paper shows that the “study” was biased: Bush’s Brain (No, Not Karl Rove): How Bush’s Psyche Shaped His Decision Making.

Why do Liberals insist on continuing to attack George W Bush? Is that all they bring to the table? What does this have to do with a class on critical thinking?

As a side note, the number of Che shirts on campus astounds me. The fact that I saw several shirts with a hammer and sickle printed on them made me realize how Communism has died everywhere in the world, except the College Campuses of the USA.

Debt Recap:

Obama has borrowed more money than:
Carter ($300 billion) in 41 days
Reagan in 8 months
Clinton ($1.539 trillion) in 11 months, 10 days.
GW Bush borrowed $5 trillion in his 8 years in office, and Obama is halfway there in only 16 months.

Obama isn’t spending money like a drunken sailor. I spent 6 years in the Navy as a drunken sailor, and when I ran out of money, I quit spending.

He advocates Mexican insurrection to “take back” Aztlan, and that he is engaged in a struggle for communism. He states “La Raza” is at the forefront. Huh, but the TEA party is full of racists, the Minutemen are racists, Arizona is a bunch of racists, but people who advocate invading a foreign country and overthrowing government in the name of your race (Raza) are not racist.He even quotes mass murderer Che Guevara’s domino theory.

He says that capitalism is the enemy. Like communism has EVER worked. Using Hugo Chavez and his government is a FAIL. Look at Venezuela and its 30% inflation, and tell me that the system there works.

Well, sport. You and your Raza should remember something when you are plotting your people’s struggle against capitalism and imperialism: I have guns (lots of them), and I have ammo (lots of it). Bring it, bitch.

Go ahead, skin it! Skin that smokewagon and see what happens…
M-mister, I’m gettin’ tired of your…
[slaps Tyler across the face, unafraid] I’m gettin’ tired of all your gas, now jerk that pistol and go to work!
[slaps him harder, now completely steely-eyed] I said throw down, boy! 

Is it wrong for me to express an opinion that someone would do the world a favor by offing this mother fucker? Not because he is Mexican, but because he is an asshole commie that is advocating killing people and overthrowing my country for the benefit of his race.

Lets take a look at two workers- one an illegal immigrant, one a legal one. They both have a wife and two kids, and live in a 2 bedroom apartment in the same neighborhood.

Mr Legal makes $18 an hour in construction as an independent contractor and pays his taxes.
Mr Illegal makes $8 an hour as an “undocumented” worker, working under the table.

Mr Legal makes $37,440 if he works 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.
Mr Illegal makes $16,640 under the same conditions.

Mr Legal then pays $4643 in Social Security and Medicare taxes, leaving him $32,797.
Mr Illegal, working under the table, pays nothing and still has $16,640.

Mr Legal takes the standard deductions, and pays $1,408 in Federal income taxes, leaving him $31,389.
Mr Illegal, working under the table, pays nothing and still has $16,640.

Mr. Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year.  He now has $24,189.
Between using the Emergency Room and EMS ambulances without paying, the county health department, and other state funded clinics at no cost, Mr Illegal pays nothing for health care, and has $16,640.

Mr. Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare, so he pays $500.00 per month for food for his family, or $6,000.00 per year. He now has $18,189 left.
Mr Illegal, having no documented income, and is thus eligible for food stamps, and his children are also eligible for free school lunch and breakfast programs. They are well fed at a cost to themselves of $0, leaving him with $16,640. (under the Federal “indigence” exception, illegal immigrants who would go hungry or homeless without assistance can qualify for food stamps and welfare. Since our illegal in this example has no reported income, his family would qualify for this exemption. it is highly unlikely that this reporting provision will have any immigration consequences for the immigrant)

Mr Legal rents a 3 bedroom apartment for his family at a cost of $13,200 a year. He now has $4,989 left.
Mr Illegal lives in a rent subsidized apartment, and only pays $8,400 a year. He is left with $8,240.

 Mr Legal must have car insurance at $1,600 a year, plus an additional $300 in uninsured motorist coverage, to protect his car and family should he be hit in an accident by Mr Illegal. He is now left with $3,089.
Mr Illegal doesn’t have insurance. He still has $8,240. *(as a side note I run on at least 2 car accidents a week where the at fault party is an illegal. They never show up to court, and never have insurance. This leaves Mr Legal to pay the bill, meaning that he better have uninsured motorist coverage, or he is gonna pay.)

They still need to pay utilities, gasoline, clothing, and other expenses.

Mr Legal has $3,089 left, has paid a total of $6,051 in taxes and has gotten $0 in Government subsidies and money, for a net contribution of $6,051.

Mr Illegal has $8,240 left, and has paid $0 in taxes  and has received $18,000 in subsidies and Government assistance, his take home income and benefits are the equivalent of $39,543 in pre-tax income. That’s right- to get what Mr Illegal has, Mr Legal would have to get a $1 an hour raise.

It seems that I touched a nerve yesterday when I compared Christianity and the Muslim faith when it came to application of Sharia law. In the comments, I was accused of being dishonest when I only quoted from the Old Testament to show that religion is a bunch of primitive men practicing according to outdated and cruel practices. In order to believe that the Old Testament, with its commands to kill disrespectful children, and kill those who work on the Sabbath, we must ignore In Isaiah 40:8 God says that the word of the Lord will last forever, and he says the same thing again in 1 Peter 1:24-25.

Even so, to be fair, here are some New Testament quotes:

Jesus was a horse thief. In Mark 11:1-3 we find this transaction:

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ “

Jesus advocated hate. In support, we find Jesus saying this in Luke 14:26:

Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.

Jesus was a misogynist. Proof is here:

1 Corinthians chapter 14:

As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Under Christianity, women should be veiled, just as in Sharia:

1 Corinthians 11:

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head–it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

1 Timothy chapter 2:

Also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

Ephesians 5:22-24 we find this:

“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.”

Seen enough yet? Again I say:

You must understand that both of these religions were written by primitive men, using primitive standards. Enforcing the Bible in a strict manner will yield similar results as strictly enforcing Sharia. It wasn’t all that long ago that Christians were conducting the inquisition, or even the crusades.
