This is to let everyone know that I AM POSTING THIS REPLY in the comments section of any article where I find objectionable language and ignorant remarks regarding where Marco RUBIO is from. Being Cuban-American has nothing do with Marco Rubio being a corrupt, self-unaware, blindly ambitious, Rino, bold-faced lying establishment hack. It is ignorant to make such a connection.
I know the readers of this blog do not engage in this kind of discourse, but I have seen enough in other sites to call attention to it. Criticism over the Amnesty Bill and the betrayal on the part of the GOP Senators in the Gang of Eight, is reaching fever pitch. I found it necessary to share what my thoughts on the reactions were at this point, because as much as I hate the bill, I hate the hatred against a group of people who have nothing to do with this bill, even more.
To the Moderators of this page (whoever they may be).. Many in the Conservative Movement continue to utter remarks that have no place in this discussion. Comments such as this:
“Rubio go back to Cuba where you belong”… “Send him back to Cuba. He would fit in better there under the Castro regime” … “so obvious you got your socialism from your Cuban parents” … “GO TO CUBA AND STAY!”, etc.
I’m Cuban-American. Rubio is from my hometown. I am a freedom fighter. I disagree with him politically on this issue, I am against his corruption, and I am against AMNESTY 1000%. I understand the frustration among Conservatives who feel betrayed. I have been one, but it does not justify comments that reflect anti-Hispanic sentiment, and bigotry, which do not advance the discussion.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding my point of view. It is American way to disagree politically without attacking one’s race, creed, color or gender. This bill is an atrocity. It is overwhelming, and the consequences of what it will bring are unspeakable. Let’s hope it does not pass. There is so much corruption behind it, we should focus on that instead.
CBS’ “reporter” Elizabeth Palmar ridiculously compared all of the radical leftists running for president in Iran to our Tea Party. Sarah Palin wasn’t having it. The team also brings up the pathetic, whining, thoroughly fact free interview CBS’ evening news anchor Scott Pelley gave to Dealine Hollywood in which he rips cable news, and tries to glorify his last place “news” division.
After her fantastic speech at the Faith and Family Coalition event on Saturday, Sarah Palin took time to meet with members of the audience, as she often does.
Though it’s hard to see her at times, Cspan got some great audio of Sarah speaking with members of the crowd.
Some folks took to Twitter to thank the Governor. Here’s a few of them:
Since I just posted about Sarah Palin’s speech and comments on Amnesty in the previous article, I want to expand on what she said in the one-minute clip. As you may know, yesterday marked Day 4 of the Immigration Bill talks this week. Yesterday, JeB Bush comes out to say that immigrants are fertile because they work more and have so much more going for them. Really. This is taken from the WaPo:
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R) argued Wednesday that the United States should pass immigration reform because the U.S. economy needs the labor of young immigrants, and immigrants are “more fertile.” “Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” Bush said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to the Majority conference. “Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.” Bush said immigrants are an advantage that the United States has over China, Europe and Japan, which don’t have the same immigrant tradition and are struggling to find young laborers. “If we don’t do it, we will be in decline, because the productivity of this country is dependent upon young people that are equipped to be able to work hard,” Bush said. Bush, whose wife is a Mexican-born immigrant, has long been an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.
Impeccable, political timing and instincts.. and a tin ear, too, just like Dad. He must be not be much of an Italian wiz in the kitchen either, because he has been throwing everything he’s got on the cabinet there to see what sticks, and nothing has since 2007. (Pasta noodles anyone??)
Today, I find this comment in a Breitbart article. (It was a short article so I will just extract the quote):
“He’s very articulate,” Bush said of Cruz in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “He’s deciding right now, I think, what path he wants to take. I’m for solutions. To me, being able to use your skills to solve problems should be the focus for everybody in elected office today because our systems are broken… To actually find creative solutions in a divided country to solve them is what we ought to be focused on.”
Believe it or not, I feel optimistic about the future when I read that. I am not angry. I am not pissed. I almost feel jubilant. Even giddy. He is starting to make this battle against the GOP seem easier by the day. I used to be afraid of the GOP apparatus, and how dirty they play. I’m not saying they won’t be, but right now, this is quite entertaining. Jeb Bush has lost his veneer. He did have luster once…
Jeb Bush was Governor in my state. He could do no wrong. Even though he left the state poorer than when he became Governor (property and real estate taxes soared thanks to him), he was generally popular. At first I thought he was just a victim of very bad timing. The stigma attached to the Bush name seemed impossible to overcome, but as time went by, he seemed more and more out of touch with politics, and just irrelevant. After McCain lost in 2008, I remember him doing the rounds on Fox. The Tea Party was in full bloom. His father admitted he didn’t understand it, and Jeb never really addressed or acknowledged the movement. Nothing he talked about on those shows appealed to anyone. Good contributors and guests are always asked back. He wasn’t.
Last year he admitted he was not a Conservative. I never really understood that. In his circles, it must be embarrassing to be associated with one, but if you’re running for an elected office, and you want to expand the base of support, why would you alienate the biggest block of voters your party has? It’s as if he’s playing Presidential Candidate for his family to see. No politician would exclude the base of their party if they’re serious about running. This happened all throughout 2012. He would insert himself into the fray by insinuating he would accept being drafted if there was a brokered convention, but would retreat when the response wasn’t what he liked. There never was an open convention (they called it broken) because the only person people wanted to be drafted was Sarah Palin, NOT HIM, so the whole idea was dropped. You have to give Jeb Bush credit, he doesn’t quit. Maybe he is living in a dream world. I don’t know. Maybe he has a special room in the house where he is allowed to “work” on his ideas and projects that he shares with his wife and mom for approval. I also don’t know. I am just imagining what it must be like to live in this man’s head, because he seems to live in a rich man’s bubble. Like Arthur.
It must be tough not getting traction for all the hard work, time and patience that you invest into something you think will change the GOP, but I wonder if it ever occurred to Jeb Bush that he could never compete with Obama in attracting the Latino vote. Jeb Bush is so disconnected from people, that he actually thought that with the help of someone like Marco Rubio, who is an “articulate” Hispanic, could save the GOP from the attrition it had lost among Latinos.
Jeb got himself out there again, after the GOP lost the 2012 election. It was not to solve our problems but to push the agenda, Immigration Reform, which he had been planning for years. I mentioned his book back in November. It finally came out this Spring, and no one I know has read it.. maybe it’s me, but I have not heard much buzz about it! If I were Jeb Bush, I would be thankful to Rubio; after all, he did do all his dirty work for him early on, and is still going. And he did pay a price for pushing this disaster by losing Tea Party support and respect in general. Rubio was all too happy to take the slings and arrows for him, though, and was even the target of some threats (from a producer at LaRaza who worked at Univision down here). Although Rubio did agree with Amnesty from the start, his dirty, loyal work has secured a career for life, and Screw the country. I do have more to say on this, but will leave it for another day.
In February this year, Jeb Bush let everyone know that he would model his presidency after LBJ, should he run, right after it was announced that he would speak at CPAC. This set off a firestorm of criticism and thousands of comments, not one was favorable to the Bushes, their progressive agenda or their grip on power in the GOP. It went on for days. Organizers were dealing with issues with short time slots, invites and non-invites like the one with Robert Spencer and Pam Geller. I boycotted CPAC because of infiltration in the committees that ran it, but I am sure Jeb Bush didn’t even care about the comments made about him, but he did choose not to have his name listed in the survey for 2016 president. I never saw Jeb’s speech, but I am sure he rocked the house. To sleep.
There is something about the whole family that has me wondering if there is some kind of selective listening problem, or a defective filter that is completely OFF. Maybe being surrounded by “yes” people is part of this family’s problems. Politics IS like a business, and a form of supply and demand, one where the customer is (or should) always be right. In this case, voters no longer want what the Bushes are selling. So Jeb Bush can kick his bill and tin ear down the road!
That cretin had my juices flowing tonight, though, with the term “articulate”. I, too, have a form of selective hearing. It’s the alarm that goes off whenever someone who supposedly advocates for Hispanics, treats them like his subjects, or inferiors instead. I can understand that many of you may not be sensitive to this, and may not be alarmed by it. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and many others in the left and right wing media venues have used the term “articulate” often to refer to Marco Rubio’s ability to express himself. I have made a point of proving anyone can be articulate if they want to, by making videos without using any notes, mirrors or cheat sheets to make presentations.
There is a subtle bigotry in calling someone “articulate”, as if to single out a person from a group of people characterized by their lack of education or illiteracy. Obama has been referred to as articulate and some in the black community took issue with it. Harry Reid used the term more than once, but you will never see liberals ever criticize one another. It is unfortunate that Jeb Bush, elitist, has shown what a condescending phony he is, one who doesn’t care about Hispanics, but uses them to (try to) win elections. I have said it before in my first article here. Cuban-Americans were promised things to vote for the Republican Party, aka Bush, Inc., but never got anything in return. I do not feel sorry for Jeb. His father is evil, and he, Jeb, does not care about anyone but himself, his family, and its power.
Jeb speaks in generalities and platitudes. I don’t know if it is deliberate, but like John McCain, their language is ambiguous. Jeb Bush could only wish to have the caliber of character, intellect, and political clarity that Ted Cruz has. No one is perfect, and politics is no different. I know that Ted Cruz is great, but I will give him room to not be perfect, especially where Immigration Reform is concerned. What cannot be denied is his eloquence and brilliantly cutting humor. It has been said Ted Cruz may be Supreme Court Justice one day. I have not even begun to listen to all he has had to say, and being the activist that I am, I will trust but verify. He has become the Cuban-American Senator to respect. How delicious that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are both a bit threatened by Papa Grizzly himself. It was only a matter of time. I find Jeb’s latest comments acts of desperation.
Jeb is clueless. If he doesn’t get it by now that we don’t like him or his agenda, then that’s his problem. I don’t want to fix him. I don’t want him to fix the party. I don’t want his family in our business.
I have decided that instead of being angry, I will enjoy watching the Rinos isolate themselves as the tide of popularity finally gets the momentum that will yield and overwhelm the GOP with the power it has earned.
Instead of telling the GOP what they should do to improve, I will save my breath and let them fail because we have already given them all the answers they need and they have just ignored us.
Instead of being frustrated, I will promote politicians for 2014 who will help elect Sarah Palin in 2016. The House, the Senate and the White House will be run by MAMA and PAPA Grizzlies who they will have to answer to. I will rejoice and smile, never letting them forget, that the grassroots and the leader of the grassroots they shunned, were right all history will note it.
Dear JEB:
Progressivism is OUT.
The politics of our FOUNDERS is in.
You have a better chance of being the King of England
Of all the powerful speeches Sarah Palin has given over the years, this may indeed be the most powerful. Reminding me of Ronald Reagan in his prime, Sarah hits the problems we face today right between the eyes, and she does it with grace, humor, and with that ever present smile of hers, that is so engaging.
Far too many great lines to try to quote them all, but it’s noteworthy that she hammers Obama and the members of Congress chomping at the bits to get America involved in the war in Syria. She tells the audience that until we get a Commander-in-Chief that knows what he’s doing, we should let Allah sort it out.
She also hits Jeb Bush for his ridiculous comment about Hispanics being so fertile, as a way to justify the disastrous and treasonous amnesty bill working it’s way through Congress. She is against amnesty, and noted that she was saying this as someone who was pretty fertile herself!
Notable is the fact that, as always, she is hammering corrupt Washington politicians in both parties. Noting that it doesn’t matter whether it’s a Republican or a democrat at the top, when the boot of government is on your throat.
I am sure there will be more on Sarah’s speech today. I will concentrate solely on her message to the GOP.
Sarah Palin quoted Patrick Henry in preparation for some choice words she had for the GOP at today’s Faith and Freedom Coalition in Washington:
“I know not what course others may take, but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death”, adding that we must be willing to say those words that launched the Revolution, today.
Sarah Palin was very thankful to the guests at the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Washington.
“I am glad you’ve taken the time from family, work and home to be here. I can’t thank you enough for being involved.. It’s just so encouraging for me and Todd.. and for normal, average everyday Americans who are counting on you to have that stiff spine and to be bold, to push back what this movement that is Tyranny what it’s doing our country. The great hope we can take away from your visit to Washington today is that Americans like Betsy Garretson and Tea Partiers already know all this, not only do they (you) value their Freedom, but are willing to fight for it.
In hundreds of towns across America, so many Americans are fighting the good fight. (I know I’ve met them, I’ve been in their homes and they’ve been in mine. And I’ve served them moose chili and blueberry pie..) They are the rock upon which we will build this new majority… And they are the voice that can reach millions of other patriots of all race color and creed, who also value the dignity and the opportunity of Freedom. They are the brave. They have kept faith with everything we love of this land of the Free, and we will have no hope of reclaiming this country, and we will deserve it even less if we fail to keep Faith with them.
That is the message that our leaders, our political leaders, especially in the GOP need to understand: you do not marginalize people, you don’t discredit and dismiss every day, average hardworking Americans, those who are part of that Grass-Root Tea Party movement who want to effect positive change, because too often leaders are not doing it! The people, We-the-people have to do it. We have to do it. We can’t count on our politicians in Washington D.C. to do this for us…”
These screen shots were captured as she said all of the above to the GOP.
:
Update (link) Sarah says we will not build a party by rewarding rule breakers via Amnesty, or solving the problem with the problem that exists. She pokes fun at Jeb Bush’s “fertility” comments referring to immigrants being fertile, to push his amnesty agend, and emphasizes how we can makes things work through debate.
The KKK is alive and well in the democrat party and these hate-filled jackasses have their burning hatred focused on Senator Ted Cruz.
Listen to some of the hate aimed at the Senator, and the lunacy from Colmes:
One thing we all know, the left will tell you who they fear the most, and they fear Ted Cruz at the same level they fear Sarah Palin! That’s exactly why we love Ted, and Sarah, so much.
The Establishment Republicans, like John McCain are just as nasty toward Constitutional Common Sense Conservatives as the anti-American democrats, by the way.
BTW, Nazi Sympathizer Father Coughlin was a left winger, like Mathews and Colmes.
You may recall that back in May, CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson reported she thought her computer had been hacked. Attkisson was one of the few major media journalists who reported on Obama and Holder’s criminal Fast and Furious program.
As you will recall, Fast and Furious put weapons in the hands of Mexican narco-terrorists, in a failed attempt to manipulate public opinion in America, as a way to usurp the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This criminal action by Obama and Holder led to mass murders in Mexico, and the slaughter of American border agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata.
Attkisson has also tirelessly reported on Benghazi, and exposed many of the corrupt “green” programs championed by the lawless Obama regime.
Here she talks with Chris Stigall, back in May. At the time she didn’t have proof of the hacking:
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air reported that Attkisson had told Laura Ingraham that a White House official had screamed and cursed at her, and the DOJ treated her similarly. Obviously angered by her truthful reporting.
Now Attkisson has proof her computers were hacked. In a prepared statement CBS reported that a forensic analysis “revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.”
Here she tweets the entire statement:
CBS Statement: A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer…— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
…was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions in late 2012."— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
CBS News statement: "While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands…— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
…that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data."— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
CBS News statement: "This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity."— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
"and alter system times to cause further confusion. CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access."— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) June 14, 2013
This is down right chilling. This should bring down the entire Obama regime, but I have serious doubts those that have the power, have the guts to do anything about it.
No doubt that we are now living in a police state. This is no better than Nazi Germany, or the old Soviet Union. Though we’ve long decried a corrupt press, a press that serves more as a cheerleader for radical leftists, rather than impartial reporters of events, once a nation loses it’s free press, especially through intimidation, that nation is finished.
