Wizbang has linked to an excellent site called “The Real Democrat Story”. Funded by the National Republican Congressional Committee, it’s a bloodhound site which tracks the voting records of the new batch of more conservative Democrat congressmen and compares their election year rhetoric with their developing congressional record.

As you might expect, the information on the site illustrates a strong disconnect between the picture these dems painted for themselves before the election and how they’re acting now. I can not emphasize strongly enough that the Republicans lost this last election because they acted less conservative than we desired and these democrats acted more conservative than they really are. And because of it we’re now having more liberalism than we can tolerate rammed down our throats.

FARMERS BRANCH, Texas (AP) - A federal judge Monday blocked enforcement of a voter-endorsed ordinance preventing apartment rentals to most illegal immigrants in this Dallas suburb, opponents of the ban said.The ordinance was to take effect Tuesday, more than a week after voters approved it. Opponents had filed three requests in federal court for an injunction to stop its enforcement.

The ordinance requires managers to verify that renters are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants before leasing to them, with some exceptions. Violators face fines of up to $500, and each day would be considered a separate violation.

Only the federal government can determine whether a person is in the United States legally, wrote U.S. District Judge Sam A. Lindsay.

Instead of deferring to federal officials, Farmers Branch has created its own classification to determine which noncitizens may rent an apartment, the judge ruled.

Lindsay also wrote that the city appeared to have used federal regulations on housing benefits for noncitizens to define who may rent an apartment in the city.

“The court recognizes that illegal immigration is a major problem in this country, and one who asserts otherwise ignores reality,” Lindsay wrote. “The court also fully understands the frustration of cities attempting to address a national problem that the federal government should handle; however, such frustration, no matter how great, cannot serve as a basis to pass an ordinance that conflicts with federal law.”

Proving yet again that when they can’t beat you at the ballot box, the left simply has to beat you in court.

Federal immigration law has the combined effect of being both ignored by the Federal government and preventing anything other than the Federal government from taking any action. On the road to progress, the Federal government is a jackknifed 18-wheeler blocking all lanes.

U.S. Immigration Policy

Lord Emperor for Life Chavez has earmarked $18 million worth of Venezuelan plunder for use by guano-brained actor Danny Glover in creating anti-western propaganda.

Venezuela is to give the American actor Danny Glover almost $18m (?9m) to make a film about a slave uprising in Haiti, with President Hugo Ch?vez hoping the historical epic will sprinkle Hollywood stardust on his effort to mobilise world public opinion against imperialism and western oppression.

Back in the days of HCUA, they had a lot less to go on in terms of ferreting out communists in Hollywood and Government. If McCarthy were here today he’d be like an anarcho-environmentalist in a Hummer dealership. Excepting the fact that McCarthy’s involvement with HUAC is in reality a matter of much liberal propaganda. And also excepting the fact that it’s only the non-communists who get blacklisted in Holiewood anymore. The point is, it’s at least refreshing that these people come out and show everyone who they really are, who they have aligned themselves with, what they stand for. It’s also much easier to demonstrate that they’re full of it. These moviestar zillionaires have been preaching class-war for decades, and yet the poor are still poor and the zillionaires are still zillionaires. How many inner-city minorities could receive a college education for the price of a Bel Aire mansion? Better question: how many communist slaves could eat for a year on this $18 million who might otherwise go hungry?

Why should Danny Glover care? He’s got his.

Didn’t we do all this just a year ago? Have republicans in Congress and the White House learned absolutely nothing? The new “bipartisan” immigration bill, crafted in secret by only a handful of senators and staffers is now being rammed down our throats as the new solution to immigration. The only problem is that it’s nothing more than the same amnesty travesty Congress attempted to swindle us with last year.

Let’s take a look at some of the low-lights. Here we have the amnesty provision for employers.

SEC. 605. EMPLOYER PROTECTIONS

(a) Copies of employment records or other evidence of employment provided by an alien or by an alien’s employer in support of an alien’s
application for Z nonimmigrant status shall not be used in a prosecution or investigation (civil or criminal) of that employer under
section 247A (8 U.S.C. 1324a) or the tax laws of the United States for the prior unlawful employment of that alien, regardless of the
adjudication of such application or reconsideration by the Secretary of such alien’s prima facie eligibility determination.

We don’t care for how long you’ve broke the law. Welcome to America! Enjoy your stay and be sure to take advantage of our social security system, provided compliments of U.S. taxpayers.

On the important things, like protecting citizens:

SEC. 121. DEATHS AT UNITED STATES-MEXICO BORDER.

(a) Collection of Statistics- The Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection shall collect statistics relating to deaths
occurring at the border between the United States and Mexico, including-

(1) the causes of the deaths; and

(2) the total number of deaths.

(b) Report- Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Commissioner of the Bureau of
Customs and Border Protection shall submit to the Secretary a report that-

(1) analyzes trends with respect to the statistics collected under subsection (a) during the preceding year; and

(2) recommends actions to reduce the deaths described in subsection (a).

Oh, you must have thought I meant protection for American citizens? No no, only mexicans crossing illegally into our country should be protected. I have a novel thought. How about we not care how many people die trying to subvert our sovereignty. I mean, if they want to reduce the death they can build them an air conditioned tunnel. It’s not like anyone is taking this whole border security thing seriously. In fact, this massive bill that was constructed in secret is being rushed through to a vote before anyone has a chance to read it:

Senators will not have time to read and understand this bill before Monday’s cloture vote. Working behind closed doors for months, a handful of Democrat and Republican staffers, along with a few senators and principals from the Administration, have been drafting a ?comprehensive immigration reform package.? Until Saturday morning, May 19, 2007, the legislation was unavailable to any other senators or staff, let alone the media, policy analysts, or the general public. This legislation would be the most significant reform of immigration policy in 40 years, affecting not only our national security and homeland defense but the fiscal, economic, and social future of the United States for several generations. A document marked ?DRAFT ? FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY,? is being relied upon by senators and staff as the final language to be debated beginning on Monday, May 21, with the expectation of a vote on final passage — without congressional hearings, committee mark-up, fiscal analysis, expert testimony, or public comment — before the Memorial Day recess. This is not a good way to deliberate over such an important piece of legislation and tosses aside years of the U.S. Senate tradition as being the most deliberative body in the world.

This is no way to run a country. This is, however, a perfect way to sell a country out.

Politico.com reports a telling outburst by shady Representative Murtha.

Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) threatened to deny any further spending projects to a Republican who challenged him over an earmark, the GOP is charging - a potential v iolation of House rules that could cause a spike in partisan tensions…

According to the draft resolution, Murtha shouted at Rogers on the House floor Thursday for offering a motion last week to challenge $23 million Murtha requested in an intelligence bill.

Murtha had requested the money to prevent the administration from shuttering the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, Pa., which is part of Murtha’s district.

“I hope you don’t have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone, and you will not get any earmarks now and forever,” Murtha told Rogers on the House floor, according to the draft transcript given Politico.

“This is not the way we do things here — and is that supposed to make me afraid of you?” Rogers replied.

“That’s the way I do it,” Murtha said.

Murtha, ladies and gentlemen, demonstrating what Democrats refer to as “reaching across the aisle”.

My earmark is bigger than yours, #%^@$!

Hundreds of illegal immigrants have registered to vote in Bexar County in recent years and dozens of them have actually cast ballots, canceling out the votes of U.S. citizens, 1200 WOAI news will report Thursday morning.

Figures obtained by 1200 WOAI news shows 303 illegals successfully registered to vote, and at least 41 cast ballots in various elections.

Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan confirmed the figures, but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury.

More.

While Bexar County itself leans Republican, it is right next to the Democrat southern stronghold in Texas. An area in which the majority of the population in some towns is illegal immigrants. Makes me think there’s a whole lot more of this going on. There’s no question that given the opportunity, illegal immigrants support the democrats. Their circumstances and sensibilities make them easy fodder for the predatory racial and class politics practiced by the left.

Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on today’s U.S. Senate agreement on immigration reform:

“I strongly oppose today’s bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new ‘Z-Visa’ does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S.

“Today’s Senate agreement falls short of the actions needed to both solve our country’s illegal immigration problem and also strengthen our legal immigration system. Border security and a reliable employment verification system must be our first priority.”

A refreshing bit of sanity from a Republican. Hopefully the party can muster up enough of it so this thing never reaches cloture.

UPDATE:

McCain:

McCain called the new proposal “a first step but important step in moving forward with comprehensive overall immigration reform,” said McCain. He said the measure would “put employers on notice that the practice of hiring illegal workers will no longer be tolerated.”

That would be much better demonstrated by deporting the illegals and forcing them to hire legal workers or, maybe, actual Americans.

Tancredo:

Tancredo, a Republican presidential candidate and a hard-line foe of illegal immigration, called the proposal “instant amnesty” for millions of people in the country illegally. He said senators behind the proposal think they can trick Americans into accepting blanket amnesty by referring to the program as “comprehensive” or “earned legalization.”

“The president is so desperate for a legacy and a domestic policy win that he is willing to sell out the American people and our national security,” Tancredo said.

A Pakistani-born US resident detained at Guantanamo Bay has said he was “mentally tortured” there, according to a transcript released by the Pentagon.

Majid Khan, who has been accused of planning to blow up petrol stations in the US, also described how he tried to commit suicide by chewing on an artery.

Mr Khan presented a Statement of Torture to the US military tribunal reviewing his “enemy combatant” status.

His list of “tortures” reads like an old crank dressing down staff at a cushy retirement home:

-Gave him glasses with the wrong prescription
-Shaved his lice infested beard
-Force fed him during a hunger strike
-Denied him enough choices of recreation
-Gave him generic soap instead of name-brand
-Provided poor quality reading material
-The fans provided were noisy
-And the bouncy balls in the rec room weren’t bouncy enough

This is what drove him to attempt suicide. Twice. No, this is not a joke. Someone needs to brought up on charges for human rights violations immediately. Or something.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference has defined Islamophobia as “discrimination and intolerance against Muslims”. Interesting, since the term seems reserved in usage as a retort for when some non-Muslim criticizes a Muslim for being discriminatory or intolerant. And especially, it seems, when the criticism is valid.

It’s the Jihadi equivalent of saying “I’m rubber and you’re glue.” And it’s the best way to get westerners, hypersensitive about appearing intolerant or discriminatory, to back down so the Religion of Peace can go back about its business.

It still amazes me how these people can one moment preach conquest, supremacy and ascendancy to world domination and the next second play the victim card. Actually, that’s not all that amazing. It’s when the media goes along with the narrative that my jaw drops.

Just who is this child the victim of?

Check out this video on LiveLeak entitled by it’s poster Innocent Sweety Calls For Daddy While Being Brutally Arrested.

Exact circumstances unknown - but “didn’t do anything” except screaming into the street.

Exact circumstances unknown. Meaning that everything leading up to what we see in the video was either cut out or not recorded. I’m not surprised. The activity which leads to police involvement is almost never shown in these kinds of hit pieces on the police. It would be hard to garner as much sympathy for the “victim” of supposed police brutality if their own crimes were put on display. It would be harder to paint the perp as an “innocent sweety” or insist she “didn’t do anything”, and therefore harder to give the impression of police malfeasance.

We can see no crime committed in the video, so we cannot confirm that a crime was committed at all. Although, there are circumstances where “screaming into the street” itself can be considered disorderly conduct. Regardless, there’s plenty of evidence in the video to indicate to me that there was probably a legitimate reason to arrest this woman. Notice that about thirteen seconds into the video Mrs. Sweetypie bangs her head against the concrete pavement several times. That’s not something that someone in their right mind does. That’s behavior you expect from someone drunk, trippin’ or just plain crazy. Whatever the case, I’m willing to bet her detention was legitimate.

Oh, and…Where’s the brutality at? I see an officer calmly restraining a berserk woman until another officer can arrive to assist him. I doubt the hog-tied position is very comfortable, but again, judging from her apparent tendency to slam her own head repeatedly into the concrete, I’m betting it’s for her own good (not to mention the officer’s).

Just another example of senseless contempt for law enforcement. (And did I mention the poster is a raving mad liberal? Check out some of his other postings.)
