Simple Man Politics

You all want to talk about a lousy deal for the American people well I got one for ya right now and both of these rotten ideas are coming courtesy of our “Commander in Grief” Barack Hussein Obama. Part one of the deal is accept the terrorists from Gitmo into your states and part two is accept the release of all criminal illegal aliens back into your communities.

I have to tell you frankly that this deal SUCKS for the American people. It is bad for us because not only are we going to import 241 of the most dangerous animals who have declared war on our nation, but we are going to put thousands more dangerous criminals back on the streets and into our neighborhoods where they can terrorize American citizens.

It is apparently not going to be so easy for Barack Obama to bring the terrorists here to the US though. It seems that most states and their residents are not to thrilled about the possibility of them coming to their states and are taking steps legally through state constitutional amendments and law making to deny them entry into their states should Obama attempt to place these vermin where they are not wanted.

It is also apparent that most states that have to deal with criminal illegal aliens on a major basis are not going to stop arresting criminal illegal’s when they commit crimes. It will be harder on them to hold them in jail or prison financially, but it appears that the arrests and convictions won’t stop for now even if Obama does cut of the aid for imprisoning criminal illegal aliens, which is what he is proposing to do.

Like everything else that Obama wants to do he is attempting to make himself popular with the world and in the court of world opinion. The reason for this is that he believes like any good socialist that he is smarter than everyone else and that he alone knows what is best for all Americans and that is to please the rest of the world. It doesn’t matter that they need us more than we need them, Barack is a good global socialist and that is the way he wants it.

Remember this my friends we need to fight these policies and the way we do that is to tell those we elected to represent us that they either oppose these idiotic policies or they will be out of a job when their next election comes around. Remember folks they and our government work for us the American tax payer and not the other way around. Unfortunately for us until they are taught this lesson harshly they will not believe we have the intestinal fortitude to carry out the threat of them losing their jobs.

That is all I have to say for today but I will be back again tomorrow when we will discuss ACORN. I hope you all have a marvelous day my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Today I am going to talk a little bit about the swine flu epidemic that started in Mexico and has been found both here in the US and on the European continent. As if drugs and violence are not enough now Mexico is exporting an extremely virulent strain of swine flu to the US as well as elsewhere around the world and it has the potential to become a pandemic.

Of course if you listen to the anti-illegal immigration people, the Mexican government, and some of our own on the political left including elected officials they will tell you that it is all Americas fault. I find this point of view to be extremely irresponsible because both the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the WHO (World Health Organization) have proven that Mexico City Mexico is where the epidemic began.

I personally feel very sorry for the Mexican people and I sympathize with them for having to suffer from this very nasty infectious disease. I it s extremely unfortunate because they are also having to endure a very bloody drug war as well, which I am certain is not making their lives any easier. When you add swine flu to that, life in Mexico just sucks right now.

I will admit that right now Mexico needs all the help it can get from the US and the international community to combat this serious health issue. However I don’t think that we can help them until we do everything within our power to make sure our citizens are safe first. This means closing our southern border both in and out of the US vigorously pursuing and deporting illegal immigrants who attempt to cross into the US from Mexico and clamping down on the criminal traffic trying to cross as well.

I know that sounds kind of cold hearted and I do not mean to be, but first things first. That means we take care of our own first then we do what we can to save the world. Lets face it folks if things get real bad here it will only be worse for our neighbors to the south, the UK, and the continent of Europe. With any luck our government won’t screw this situation up any more than it already is, but considering who has been making the decisions in the US for the last 100 days I don’t have a lot of faith in our government right now to get this right.

That is all for now but I will be back again tomorrow. Have a terrific Tuesday CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and welcome back to another installment of Simple Man Politics. Today’s topic is going to very interesting to you all especially if you happen to be parents. The topic for today is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is a threat to parental rights.

This UN convention is an attempt by the International community to gain some legal control of the US by having our country sign on and give control of our parental and children’s rights to UN, and circumventing the US legal system. Unfortunately this is not the UN’s first attempt to accomplish some sort of control over the US it is just the latest attempt. I am also sure it will not be the last either.

I first heard about this on a popular news program. The person speaking on the topic was the founder of parentalrights.org Michael Farris. He spoke at length about this UN convention and it’s potentially sinister agenda, and said that we need a Parental Rights Amendment using a Supreme Court decision in 1925 as the basis for his argument.

After I had read the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Supreme Court decision on Piece v. Society of Sisters I can only conclude that he is absolutely correct. There are two list you need to see, one is a list of 20 things you need to know about the structure of the CRC and the other is a list of 10 things you need to know about the substance of the CRC. Here are the lists in the order I mentioned them in straight from the website parentalrights.org.

Ten things you need to know about the structure of the CRC.
1. It is a treaty which creates binding rules of law. It is no mere statement of altruism.
2. Its effect would be binding on American families, courts, and policy-makers.
3. Children of other nations would not be impacted in any direct way by our ratification.
4. The CRC would automatically override almost all American laws on children and families because of our Supremacy Clause.
5. The CRC has some elements that are self-executing, while others would require implementing legislation. Federal courts would have the power to determine which provisions were self-executing.
6. The Courts would have the power to directly enforce the provisions that are self-executing.
7. Congress would have the power to directly legislate on all subjects necessary to comply with the treaty. This would constitute the most massive shift of power from the states to the federal government in American history.
8. A committee of 18 experts from other nations, sitting in Geneva, has the authority to issue official interpretations of the treaty which are entitled to binding weight in American courts and legislatures. This effectively transfers ultimate authority for all policies in this area to this foreign committee.
9. Under international law, the treaty overrides even our Constitution.
10. Reservations, declarations, or understandings intended to modify our duty to comply with this treaty will be void if they are determined to be inconsistent with the object and purpose of the treaty.

Ten things you need to know about the substance of the CRC.
1. Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.
2. A murderer aged 17 years, 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
3. Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
4. The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent’s decision.
5. A child’s “right to be heard” would allow him (or her) to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.
6. According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children’s welfare.
7. Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
8. Christian schools that refuse to teach "alternative worldviews" and teach that Christianity is the only true religion "fly in the face of article 29" of the treaty.
9. Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
10. Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.

As a parent I am going to tell you that the last thing I want or need is some International politician or political body trying to tell me the best way to raise my children. If you look at most nations track records for maintaining law, order, and discipline with their younger generations or citizens they are not very successful, and I know I can do a much better job than 99.998% of anyone else on the planet because Poppi knows all and they are my kids.

The other problem that I have with this unveiled attempt by the UN to usurp our own authority on our own soil is that our nation’s laws are founded within our own US Constitution and Bill of Rights. I am of the belief that our laws need to be written by our own lawmakers and our Constitution strictly interpreted by the US Supreme Court, which fortunately for us has at least four Constitutionalist justices maybe even five. Unfortunately we may have a President who will sign this damned treaty.

There is definitely no good reason why we should be governed by an International body, which if I may remind them and you that without us most of them would either be speaking German or Japanese. As a result I don’t think that they are on an equal footing with us, but that may be the reason they are so hot to try to get this done, because they are not on an equal footing with us and as second class societies they never will be.

That is all I have for you today, but I am sure it is quite enough for now. I will be back again tomorrow my friends, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Hey ya’ll I’m back from my personal effort to bail out one of the Big three automakers and I have to tell you I was successful in my efforts to do my part. However now it is time to get down to what this blog is all about and that is political news reporting, and do I have a story for you today.

The current administration had reported that over 90% of all guns confiscated in the war between Mexico and the cartels originated in the US. However, it has since been discovered that this figure is not accurate according to ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) sources.

The actual truth of the matter is that the percentage of weapons traced to the US that are recovered in Mexico is only 17% of the total number of guns that reach Mexico. This is evidenced by the fact that a large number of weapons down there do not get sent to the US for tracing by the Mexican government because they are obviously not American weapons. It is true though that 90% of the traced weapons sent to the US for tracing are US weapons.

American weapons have serial numbers and manufacturer names that enable these weapons to be traced and those are the ones returned to the US for tracing. Weapons that do not have serial numbers or manufacturer names are not sent here to the US because those are not US weapons and may come from the black market or other nations in Central and South America.

The reason that this false information is so important at this time is because of its intent. The Obama administration had Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as US Attorney General Eric Holder present this information publicly in Mexico and here in the United States in an effort to set the stage for possible tighter gun control legislation.

This would be accomplished by convincing legislators and the general public that we are responsible for the violence in Mexico because we cannot control the flow of weapons between the US and Mexico. It seems however that this is also not the case has been supported by some sources in the Mexican government as well.

Although I agree that we are somewhat responsible for some of the trouble south of the border I also know that we are not responsible for all of it. I also know that this is just another lame attempt by our democratically controlled government to strip away our 2nd amendment rights.

That I all I have for today my friends. I hope you all have a great day and I will be back again tomorrow for the T.G.I.F. post, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
