If...

If the 13th and 14th Amendments were under as much pressure and the 2nd Amendment has been since Woodrow Wilson's election then Barack Obama would be the half-black janitor at a law firm who was the ONLY black American allowed to cast a vote for President in 2008.

Sanitized for WHOSE protection?

When I first came across a story blurb on Yahoo that came from the AP I was left more curious than informed.

Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer

GREENFIELD, Calif. – Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

...
Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

I was left more curious than informed since nothing in the story gave a clue why a small town farming community might suddenly sprout a rash of using underage daughters as an ATM.

What's interesting is the timestamp for the AP Story: Mon Jan 12, 9:03 pm ET

So I started looking for more stories. It took me a tremendous effort consisting of opening a new browser window, typing in a single search phrase and then clicking on the first couple of resulting links. Too much effort for any reporter to be expected to do.

So, what did I find? I'm beginning to get an inkling based upon another story.

Marcelino de Jesus Martinez was arrested Sunday on suspicion of accepting the offer of money, beer and meat to place his daughter with Margarito de Jesus Galindo, police said.

Police became aware of the transaction after Martinez asked police to return his daughter. The father said the girl had run away, but police came to believe that he wanted her back because her suitor hadn't paid up, Grebmeirer said.

"We were working on this one kind of backward. We hear about these things all the time, but they are kind of tough to investigate or prove," Grebmeier said today.

A different story turned up the photo I posted without giving the names of the the pimping pappa or the baby-raping buyer.

The more detailed report was time stamped: Posted: 01/12/2009 10:38:41 AM PST

Many, many hours BEFORE the AP story.

The story that had the photo was time stamped: 1/12/09 at 7:20 PM. No time zone was indicated but I think it's safe to say Pacific.

I could expect the photo to be missing from the AP story, but the names of the buyer and seller?

WHY?

These names are of adults charged with crimes. That's public record. They are not the victim.

Who is being protected by hiding this information? Why would a farming community suddenly sprout a certain type of crime?

Well, maybe because of who moved in. Without being legal. Someone doing here what they were doin' back in the old country. Why bother to follow the laws and values of a nation you are invading?

We won't know from these stories if the perpetratin' pappa or the cradle-robbin' Romeo are legal. We probably won't be told the truth as this story takes place in California where they protect illegal aliens better than the California Condor.

So Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

I don't know what the writers were thinking.

Usually you don't bring in the wacky in-laws until second season, or maybe for the late season doldrums.

Look at how that ruined a perennial Neverwas like "The King of Queens". To quote from the Bard (Weird Al)

"The King of Queens jumped the shark the first minute!
I can't believe Richard Simmons ain't in it!"

Yet, here they go, dragging in Michelle's wacky mommy. She can't help but be wacky. After all she raised a daughter who was never proud of her country until her hubby was annointed by the DNC. The daughter that Little O claims was really attending all those sermons from Rev. Wright. Considering the content of her college writings I believe him. She was already seeing white sheets behind every liberal professor at Harvard.

Nevertheless I feel this is a real mistake for the writers of "The Obamas of Pennsylvania Avenue". They are bringing in the new characters too early. The show hasn't even made it's premier airing! We've just had the web teasers on YouMustObeyTube.

We all know the show's main star got a four year contract. They could have arranged to dump batty Michelle so that Little O could go on a soulful quest. To see life as his father saw it. From between the legs of several dozen women, leaving babies everywhere.

Let "The Tudors" put THAT in their greensleeves and smoke it!

Even if they kept it strictly PG without going for some of that T&A that makes cable so much fun we could be treated to double entendres and frisky innuendo. That way Little O would be REALLY recycling the Clinton Years.

"I hear the President gave up smoking."

"No, just Marlboros. Now he's doing cigars!"

{Cue the audience for a "Whoooooaaaaa!"}

If Little O is out there reading I hope he keeps in mind that I can be hired on to help write this schlock. I promise to not be so derviative as his current writers.

Project One Million Texas

Project One Million Texas is a recent undertaking to increase NRA membership in Texas.

I've had my own disagreements with some of the directions the NRA leadership has gone but what can NOT be argued is that we need as many voices as possible promoting 2nd Amendment issues in Washington and in the states and in the municipalities.

If we are voting members of the NRA then we have a voice in who and how the NRA is lead. If we don't belong then we have no voice.

If you already belong to the NRA then also find out your state associate organization and join there.

For more information go to Project One Million Texas.

Is it April already?

It may be the start of the year but I found something I no longer expect.

An almost honest story from the AP.

Many illegal immigrants live in public housing

Okay, so they are late to the party by several decades. If you live in a major sanctuary city, like Denver, you know that more than half of the people you see in Section 8 housing are flying funny paper. Whether it's a fake Social Security card or a Matricula card there are more than enough illegal aliens using up tax money that they don't pay into.

Untold thousands of illegal immigrants live in public housing at a time when hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal residents are stuck waiting years for a spot.

Illegal immigrants make up a tiny portion of the 7.1 million people in federal housing, according to government statistics. But authorities may be unaware of thousands more, and critics say no illegal immigrant should get housing benefits.

The issue made headlines in November with news that Zeituni Onyango, an aunt of President-elect Barack Obama, was living in Boston public housing while in the country illegally.

It's untold thousands because the agencies charged with abusing taxpayer money refuse to make sure that only legal citizens get benefits that taxpaying citizens paid for.

Now, I wonder why there aren't any exposes in the NYT or WaPo of American journalists trying to get free benefits in say, Mexico? Is it because they know damned well that being an illegal alien in Mexico is not fun? That Mexicans treat non-citizens like criminals? Then those same Mexicans send their relatives up here and demand that we NOT treat them like criminals.

Now try that in France. Want to find out how bad French prison food is? Try working in France without the right papers. You'll be eating a lot of pate' du garbage pail.

While there are no hard numbers on illegal immigrants in public housing, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that 29,570 people — 0.4 percent of all those in federally funded housing — are "ineligible noncitizens." Some may be on temporary visas, such as highly educated workers or college students, but many are believed to be illegal immigrants.

Nice how our paid flunkies can come up with terms like "ineligible noncitizen" to mean "FREELOADING ILLEGAL ALIEN". Now if they would do the right thing and kick out anyone staying in public housing who doesn't belong in our country then we wouldn't be having such a crisis in finding public housing.

Why is it so hard to understand? If we really must have welfare housing then we should strictly limit it to no one except legal residents and citizens with NO TOLERANCE.

The HUD tally does not offer a full picture of how many illegal immigrants are in public housing.

It doesn't include housing funded by state and local governments, where eligibility requirements vary. Massachusetts, where Obama's aunt occupied one of about 50,000 state-funded units, doesn't ask immigration status under a 1977 federal consent decree in a class-action lawsuit that prohibits the state from denying the benefit to illegal immigrants.

Other illegal immigrants may live in public housing without notifying authorities.

So what this reporter is admitting is what I said at the start. If you look you will see that a HUGE percentage of pubic housing is being used by FREELOADING ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Thanks to the Barack Bailouts that have happened and will happen in the months to come our federal deficits are growing faster than Obama's ego.

Is it too much to ask that we finally DEMAND that only legal residents and citizens get public assistance? With the economy in the toilet those jobs that Americans won't do are getting harder and harder to find. What I don't want is a bunch of FREELOADING ILLEGAL ALIENS hanging around for more handouts. They weren't here to do jobs in the first place. They were here for the freebies.
