Immigration Revisions as seen from Orange County, Florida

ORANGE COUNTY FLORIDA
For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady made the argument pretty simple. NOT printed in the Orange County Paper!

Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which do not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help, it will get published via cyberspace!

From: "David LaBonte"

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved good-bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought alongside men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German-American or the Irish-American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

MORT’s meanderings

Barack Hussein Obama:

Vindictive, Narcissistic, Tyrant-in-Chief

While spending our tax-payer dollars on planes, tanks and cash for Egypt; guns and ammo in support of rebels in Syria who have no allegiance whatever to the United States; and on outrageously expensive trips to Europe and the Middle East by himself, Biden, Kerry, Hagle and a few hundred other meddlers and hangers on   –  Obama has seen fit to blame ‘sequestration’ for closing the White House to visitors, shutting down National Park activities and eliminating air traffic controllers at vital airports across the nation.  If that isn’t vindictive - - what is?

The ‘Anointed One’s’ unseemly concerns for his legacy;  his continuous effort to gain control over every aspect of American life and concentrate that control into his own hands;  his weird and inexplicable appointments of second-rate but totally loyal and compliant miscreants to implement his Socialistic ideology - -   if that isn’t narcissistic - - what is?

And, with the blatantly biased, complete cooperation of a corrupt media that sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil about him – Obama has issued hundreds of Executive Orders that restrict, hobble and obviate many of our traditional freedoms that are guaranteed by the Constitution.  Through his many directives to those whom he appointed as the heads of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, Obama has in a very real sense, sanctioned the domination of the citizens of this country, placing them in virtual chains.  His purpose, to manifest his disregard for the free-enterprise system handed down from our Founding Fathers and to demonstrate that he is the Lord and Master of this nation and can dole out punishment at will, with impunity.   If that isn’t a Tyrant-in-Chief - - what is?  

Stalin, Lenin, Saddam, Chavez, Caesar, Papa Doc, Mao Tse Tung, Mugabe, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Genghis Kahn, Gadhafi, Kim Jong Il, Idi Amin, Arafat – and some other notable vindictive, narcissistic tyrants - they’re all dead.

Barack Hussein Obama, ’The Anointed One, is alive and well.    How did we get so lucky?
