The Arizona Law Madness

Excerpt from the Book – “Whatever Happen To COMMON SENSE”

Chapter 16 Entitled – The Arizona Law Madness

By: Elmer Thomas Williams Jr.

This is an issue that quite frankly is somewhat mind-boggling to me. We have people upset with Arizona, and for what? They want to uphold the law. This just proves how completely insane we have become in this country. We are upset because Arizona governor Jan Brewer wants to encourage her state to enforce the law. You may want to know what is in the Arizona Immigration Law.

  It says:

               ([i])Arizona’s law orders immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.

 Think about that, people: they are upset because they are enforcing the damm law. Have we lost our freaking minds in this crazy, politically correct country? I cannot wrap my mind around this insanity. They are upset with Jan Brewer and Arizona because they want to insist on enforcing the law. They are not upset with the lawbreakers, but they are upset with the law enforcers.

 I’m sorry to keep repeating the same thing, but they are upset because the state does not want to take care of Mexico’s illegals. Please, let’s just stop talking complete nonsense about preventing illegal aliens from other countries. Can we just please be intellectually honest for once in this mixed up country of ours?

 The truth is that Mexico is insisting that we take care of its freaking citizens. It’s not Russia, Africa, or Scotland; it is Mexico. What Mexican illegals are doing is just as bad as the Pearl Harbor attack. They are killing some of our civilians and officers. They are costing us billions of dollars. It could be argued that our leaders are Benedict Arnolds with the way they’re helping the modern-day invasion.

Why in the hell should the American people pay the medical bills of someone who comes over here illegally and drops off their damm baby?

We did not experience any pleasure when they were conceiving the child, so why should we pay for their pleasure? I don’t give a rat’s behind how much people say they are just hardworking people who love their families. Hell, I’m hardworking, and I love my family, and I can’t get any relief from my property taxes, for God’s sake.

 Why are we acting as if this is some special attribute that they have acquired over the years? They have laid on their backs and gotten pregnant? Hell, any dog can get pregnant. Do we give dog’s healthcare, a free education, and a Lonestar card?

 I don’t give a damm if you’re from the Netherlands,China, or Zimbabwe. If you’re pulled over for a traffic violation for expired tags and a police officer asks you for your driver’s license and you don’t have one and don’t speak English, what do you bunch of idiots suppose the officer should do? Offer the violator free tickets to see the Arizona Cardinals football game?

 About twenty years ago, a police officer pulled me over for speeding. I had left my driver’s license at home. Do you know what the officer did to me? He had me take the green mile walk back to the police car and have a seat in the back of the squad car until he could make sure I was who I said I was.

 I didn’t play the race card and say that the officer put me in the backseat because I am black. Don’t get me wrong, I have been racially profiled before, but on this occasion I understood that the burden of proof was on me for not having the proper ID. If I had showed the officer my ID and he had given me the Green Mile Walk anyway, that would be a horse of a different color.

 What I am sick of is the Latino and black communities playing the race card even when it is not really an issue. Make no mistake about it: I hate all racists equally. It just shows complete ignorance for any race to hate another race based strictly on skin color. I don’t care if you’re examining the Black Panthers, the KKK, a Latino organization that hates other races, or Asians who set up flea markets in predominantly black neighborhoods and profile you if you go into their stores.

 A lot of people may hate when I speak like this, but I will quote Muhammad Ali: ([ii]) “A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.”

 Are there some racist police officers who enjoy pulling over people based strictly on their race? Absolutely! Does this mean we should stop enforcing the law because some people will be offended? If that is your solution, either you are just plain stupid, or your brain has been fried from all the drugs you did in the past. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ([iii]) “A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.” Friend’s Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your ears; the installment plan is in effect.

 This is the problem with our war on terrorism and the reason we are not going to win if we keep down this road. It is stupid to try to prevent a terrorist attack by searching a seventy-year-old woman at the airport just as quickly as we search Mohammad Aquabar. If we had a history of seventy-year-old white women blowing themselves and others up, I could understand profiling more seventy-year-old white women.

 If white men between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-five are convicted of molesting children at a much higher rate than other races, then I can understand profiling white men between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-five. If black men between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five are robbing convenience stores, I can understand profiling black men between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. So dam-it if you are stopped for a traffic violation or if you are questioned and you can’t speak English.

 

I don’t give a damm how mad LuLac or La Raza gets. Tell the Mexican invaders to go back home. What really cooks my goose is that Mexican president Felipe Calderon comes to our country and condemns theArizonalaw. It is outrageous that he is upset because his own citizens are willing to break the law in order to get away from his country.

 

I’m sorry I don’t know of any country that I would be willing to enter illegally and do anything necessary to stay there. If Felipe Calderon is so concerned about his citizens being mistreated, why doesn’t he tell all of his people to come back home? If Mexico is so damm great, take your asses back to Mexico and stop trying to force us to take care of you and your kids.

 They have become so bold that they break the law and then march in the streets with their Mexican flags demanding rights. Again, I repeat, if Mexico is so damm great, go back to Mexico and carry your flag proudly there. Calderon wants the American people to support his kids, so to speak.

 How would it look for the man or lady down the street to knock on my door every month and ask me for a check to help support his or her kids? After I explain to them how they are out of their minds for coming to my door with such an outrageous request, I would ask the couple if I could get the social security numbers of their four kids so that I could use them when I file my taxes at the end of the year.

 That’s my new program. It’s called The Adopt an Illegal Alien Initiative and is geared toward using the illegals to beef up my tax return. Hell, the government does it every year with people who have had multiple kids and have not worked full-time or have made a minimum amount of money. They get as much as $7,000 on their tax return for lying on their backs and screwing someone.

 This has become the new virtue inAmerica. If you have kids and lots of them, and you make sure you can’t support them, “Big Daddy Government” will give you a few crumbs to help support little Carlos, Maria, Sheneneh, Jerome, Billy Joe Wayne, or Bobby Sue Oliver.

 Whatever happened to supporting your own damm kids? We can’t continue to support illegal alien’s period. End of the discussion. I know that almost all of the real men have been lost in our country, and most of the ones who are left refuse to say anything. They don’t want to come off as racist or intolerant.

I wish some real men had stepped up when that piece of garbage from Mexico (Calderon) came to our house (America) and criticized our country on the senate floor. There are only two things that should have happened to this bum Calderon. One of the senators should have asked security to escort the bum back to the airport and have his visa revoked. Or the second idea, which is my favorite and the thing I wish had happened, is that as soon as he began talking, someone should have invited him outside and beat the hell out of him.

 

How’s that for the good old politically correct crowd? If a man comes to my house and starts disrespecting my home and family by throwing out insults, he will get his hat handed to him without question. That’s my motto: kick ass and ask questions later. You can go to hell with your political correctness because I’m sick of it.

 Have a nice life,America, and tell that clown Barack Hussein Obama that his immigration reform is a bad idea. Just like that other little inarticulate clown George W. Bush tried to do when he was in office. He tried to shovel immigration down our throats and all it did was ostracize his base. Why can’t we get these pathetic politicians to do what the American people put them in office to do? Just do your damm jobs, Mr. Politicians.

Gas Prices at All Time High

Obama does not have a problem with the gas prices.

 

By: CHRIS KAHN

 NEW YORK (AP) – Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year.

 At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April.

“You’re going to see a lot more staycations this year,” says Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. “When the price gets anywhere near $4, you really see people react.”

Already, W. Howard Coudle, a retired machinist from Crestwood, Mo., has seen his monthly gasoline bill rise to $80 from about $60 in December. The closest service station is selling regular for $3.39 per gallon, the highest he’s ever seen.

“I guess we’re going to have to drive less, consolidate all our errands into one trip,” Coudle says. “It’s just oppressive.”

The surge in gas prices follows an increase in the price of oil.

Oil around the world is priced differently. Brent crude from the North Sea is a proxy for the foreign oil that’s imported by U.S. refineries and turned into gasoline and other fuels. Its price has risen 11 percent so far this year, to around $119 a barrel, because of tensions with Iran, a cold snap in Europe and rising demand from developing nations. West Texas Intermediate, used to price oil produced in the U.S., is up 4 percent to around $103 a barrel. That’s 19 percent higher than a year earlier.

Higher gas prices could hurt consumer spending and curtail the recent improvement in the U.S. economy.

A 25-cent jump in gasoline prices, if sustained over a year, would cost the economy about $35 billion. That’s only 0.2 percent of the total U.S. economy, but economists say it’s a meaningful amount, especially at a time when growth is only so-so. The economy grew 2.8 percent in the fourth quarter, a rate considered modest following a recession.

High oil and gas prices now set the stage for even sharper increases at the pump because gas typically rises in March and April.

Every spring, refiners suspend operations to switch the type of gasoline they make. Supplies of wintertime gas are sold off before March, when refineries need to start making a new formula of gasoline that’s required in the summer.

That can mean less supply for service stations, resulting in higher gas prices. And summertime gasoline is more expensive to make. The government mandates that it contain less butane and other cheap organic compounds because they contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, a primary constituent in smog. That means more oil, a costlier component, is needed to produce each gallon.

The Oil Price Information Service predicts that gasoline could peak at $4.25 a gallon by the end of April. That would top the record of $4.11 in July 2008.

The national average for gasoline began the year at $3.28 a gallon. The average price for February so far is $3.49 a gallon. That’s up from $3.17 a gallon last February, a record at the time. Back in 2007, before the recession hit, the average for February was $2.25 a gallon.

 

Prices are higher on the East and West Coasts, where gasoline has risen above $3.70 in Connecticut, New York, Washington D.C. and California. This isn’t unusual – states on the coasts charge some of the nation’s highest gas taxes.

High gas prices put a strain on many people’s budgets.

Americans spent 8.4 percent of their household income on gasoline last year when gas averaged an all-time high of $3.51 a gallon. That’s double the percentage a decade ago. They could pay even more this year, even though demand is the lowest in 11 years as people drive fewer miles in more efficient cars, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at OPIS.

Gary Goodman commutes into Manhattan from Edgewater, N.J., because gas, tolls and parking make the cost of driving prohibitive.

Goodman, an accountant, commutes by bus. He uses his car mostly for trips to the grocery store or for occasional nights out. He says he has no choice but to eat the higher gas costs.

“I already drive as little as possible,” he says.

Paul Dales, a senior economist at Capital Economics says it would take a bigger shift in the global economy – say, a deep recession in Europe or a slowdown in Asia’s manufacturing – for pump prices to drop noticeably. Either event would slow oil demand, depressing prices.

But experts expect demand to keep rising. World oil demand is expected to increase by another 1.5 percent to 89.25 million barrels a day in 2012, according to the Energy Information Administration.

In the short term, tensions with Iran are feeding fears that oil supplies could be blocked.

The U.S. and Europe are tightening economic sanctions against Iran over what the West believes is Iran’s attempt to build a nuclear bomb. World leaders fear Israel may be planning a strike against Iran, the world’s third largest oil exporter.

In response, Iran has threatened to withhold its own oil deliveries and to block the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway along its coastline through which one-fifth of the world’s oil flows.

On Friday, an international banking clearinghouse crucial to Iran’s oil sales said it is prepared to discontinue services to Iranian financial institutions being targeted by the EU and U.S. sanctions. That could ratchet up the pressure on Iran, but also send oil prices soaring.

The price of Brent crude fell 53 cents on Friday to $119.58. WTI gained 93 cents to $103.24.

Gas prices are already an issue in the presidential campaign. Republican candidate Newt Gingrich spoke several times this week about opening up more federal land to oil and gas drilling as a path toward U.S. energy independence – and lower pump prices.

“Our goals should be to get gasoline to $2.50 or less so that working families can actually get to work and retired families can travel,” Gingrich said at a campaign event in Los Angeles Thursday.

House Economic Adviser, Thinks We Need A Global Tax.

"Hell Yes" We Should Tax the People for the Environment

By: DANIEL HALPER

“Whatever Happen To COMMON SENSE”

Gene Sperling, director of the White House’s national economic council, said today at an official meeting that “we need a global minimum tax”:

“He supports corporate tax reform that would reduce expenditures and loopholes, lower rates for people investing and creating jobs in the U.S., due so further for manufacturing, and that we need to, as we have the Buffett Rule and the individual tax reform, we need a global minimum tax so that people have the assurance that nobody is escaping doing their fair share as part of a race to the bottom or having our tax code actually subsidized and facilitate people moving their funds to tax havens,” Sperling said.

The White House adviser then said that more details would be forthcoming, though “not in gory detail.”

“But we will say more, perhaps not in gory detail, but in more detail, before the end of the month. And in terms of the revenues, the president is looking for shared sacrifice. This budget is a Democratic budget that has savings in Medicaid, it has savings from new beneficiaries, Medicare in 2017, it has agriculture civilian retirement savings. It has a lot of very tough choices.”

Chemical Warfare Used in Syria

Were is the UN on Syria's- Chemical Warfare

By: ELIEZER SHERMAN AND REUTERS

Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime has used chemical warfare in order to ease its entrance into Homs, said Awad Al-Razak, an officer who defected from the Syrian armed forces.

Al-Razak, who served in the chemical warfare department of the Syrian military, told the Al-Arabiya network that the government used nerve gas under the supervision of Russian and Iranian scientists, and intends to do so again in other parts of the country.

On Monday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said that the failure of the United Nations Security Council to reach an agreement on a resolution against the ongoing violence in Syria has emboldened the Syrian government in its deadly crackdown on opposition activists.

Russia and China on Feb. 4 vetoed a European-Arab drafted resolution condemning the Syrian government’s suppression of anti-government demonstrations and endorsing an Arab League plan for Assad to step aside.

Pillay’s speech to the 193-nation assembly came after Syrian UN Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari, backed by delegates from Iran and North Korea, tried unsuccessfully to block her from addressing UN delegations by citing procedural arguments.

Pillay spoke extensively about what she called an assault on the restive city of Homs, where she said the Syria army had targeted civilians using “tanks, mortars, rockets and artillery.”

The humanitarian situation in Homs is “deplorable,” she said, adding that “food remains scarce,” and electricity is often cut off to the city’s over 800,000 residents.

Pillay said that the Syrian military was carrying out indiscriminate attacks on civilian neighborhoods, and that residents have been “effectively trapped in areas under attack.”

The “civilian army has shelled densely populated neighborhoods in Homs,”‘ she said. More than 300 people have been killed in the western Syrian city since the beginning of the 10-day assault, according to Pillay.

“The majority of them were victims of the shelling,” she said.

Pillay said that at least 400 children have been killed since last March, when mass protests in the southern Syrian city of Daraa – akin to those that sprung so-called Arab Spring revolutions in countries like Egypt and Tunisia – caused a similar eruption in Syria.

She said Assad’s forces have used schools as “detention facilities, sniper posts and military bases.”

Detained children have been subjected to solitary confinement, and are often put in cells with adults, she said.

Cities across Syria have been blockaded, blocking access to water, food and medical supplies, according to the UN human rights rapporteur.

“The failure of the Security Council to agree on firm collective action appears to have emboldened the Syrian government to launch an all-out assault in an effort to crush dissent with overwhelming force,” Pillay told the General Assembly.

Clinton meets Turkish FM on Syria

Also Monday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to discuss the Syrian unrest. During their meeting, Clinton stated that the United States backs the Arab League’s latest plan on Assad, but sees challenges in winning UN approval for peacekeepers to halt the Syrian government’s violent crackdown on protests.

Clinton added the US would work to tighten international sanctions on the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad and seek ways to deliver humanitarian aid amid what she said was a “deplorable” escalation of violence by government forces.

“We have heard the call of the Syrian people for help and we are committed to working to allow the entry of medical supplies, of emergency help to reach those who are wounded and dying,” Clinton said.

But she suggested that the Arab peacekeeper proposal would be tough to get through given Russian and Chinese support for Damascus.

“There are a lot of challenges to be discussed as to how to put into effect all of their recommendations and certainly the peacekeeping request is one that will take agreement and consensus,” Clinton said.

“We don’t know that it is going to be possible to persuade Syria. They have already, as of today, rejected that.”

Davutoglu, whose country has been at the forefront of those calling for action against the Assad government, said the international community needed to look at all options as the crisis unfolds.

“We cannot be silent when these humanitarian tragedies continue,” Davutoglu said.

Obama helps Billionaire Warren Buffett Get Richer

Yes Sir I Will Help You Screw the American People

(What Happen to the Millionaires and Billionaires Paying Their Fair Share?)
Corruption at its Finest!

BY: Patrick Howley

Warren Buffett’s stake in Bank of America Corp. increased in value by $154 million after President Obama and the U.S. Justice Department announced a $25 billion foreclosure abuse settlement with the five largest U.S. banks Thursday, records show.
Buffett invested $5 billion in Bank of America (BofA) on Aug. 25, 2011. As part of his investment deal, Buffett gained warrants that allow him to buy 700 million shares of Bank of America stock at a strike price of $7.14 a share. However, on Dec. 19, 2011, it was reported that Buffett was $1.5 billion underwater on his stock warrants, with shares of BofA stock trading at $4.94. But on Thursday, after President Obama personally announced the details of the settlement, BofA stock closed at $8.13 a share. The stock opened Friday morning at $8.31 and reached as high as $8.35 a share.
If Buffett had exercised his warrants Friday morning, he would have made $847 million. $154 million of that profit would have been related to the foreclosure deal.
This is not the first time Buffett has profited from Obama administration policies. In November 2011, it was reported that President Obama’s two-year postponement of the deadline to determine the future of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would force North Dakota oil producers to rely more heavily on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. holding company purchased the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Corp. in a total package worth $44 billion in 2009.
Buffett has personally contributed $5,000 to Obama this election cycle, while Berkshire Hathaway has contributed $30,800 to the Democratic National Committee.
This summer, Obama will accept the Democratic Party’s 2012 presidential nomination with a speech at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

UFOs (Drivers), Riders, and Pedestrians

 

The Doctor of Common Sense (Get The Book)

 From Chapter 6 of The Book “Whatever Happen To COMMON SENSE”

By: Elmer Williams

For a long time I didn’t believe in UFOs, but there are aliens among us—sometimes I share the road with drivers who appear to be from another planet. UFO could easily stand for Unthinking Foolish Object.

They commute to work via the same route everyday. And even if they are aware that construction is going on and will continue for the next three months, they insist on going the same way everyday. They recognize that there are five other routes that they could take to get to work, but they don’t have the common sense that God gives an ostrich and are suffering from an incurable case of tunnel vision.

There are Albert Einstein drivers that grace our streets known as rubberneckers. You know what a rubbernecker is, don’t you? A rubbernecker is someone who drives around looking for a reason to stretch his or her neck searching for accidents. I can think of a particular incident where I was driving on I-45 headed north on my way back toHouston. The traffic was absolutely horrific. Cars headed north in both directions were backed up on the feeders and freeway. I was in a hurry and thought there must be a terrible accident up ahead.

 I wondered if someone was seriously injured and needed a paramedic. To my amazement, when I approached the wreck on the feeder headed north, the people headed south on the freeway were coming to a complete stop just to stare. It was only a fender bender, but these very skilled drivers were stopping to stretch their necks to see what was happening. If you want to help someone you believe may be injured, make the U-turn, get out of your vehicle, and go over and help. If not, take your elastic neck on down the road and stop holding up traffic.

 Then there are the drivers who get upset at eighteen-wheelers because they think the big trucks get too aggressive. What did the eighteen-wheeler do? He sped up at the last minute and went around the car. Now, the driver of the truck is in the wrong, and two plus two equals four, but two wrongs don’t make a right. To get back at the driver of the eighteen-wheeler, this UFO will cut in front of the truck and hit their brakes. Talk about no common sense. What would make a person think that it’s a good idea to cut in front of a vehicle that carries thirty thousand to forty thousand pounds of freight at any given time? If the truck hits you, do you really think you made your point?

 There are also drivers who, as soon as they see you put on your signal, speed up to prevent you from changing lanes. Get a life, people. And we wonder why road rage is so rampant. These UFOs drive more like bats coming from the pits of hell, whatever that looks like. I wonder who came up with the phrase “driving like a bat out of hell.”
