"Three days ago, Napolitano told an audience at Arizona State University that the border is more secure than ever," said Tancredo. "I challenge her-no I dare her to come to this community and try to sell that lie. The residents here know better."

Tancredo said Border Patrol in the Arizona region confirmed a 25 percent increase in apprehensions over the past three months of which 20 percent of those caught have criminal backgrounds.
“Ranchers and residents all along our southern border with Mexico have been living in fear for years as more armed smugglers and criminals cross their property on their illegal journeys north,” said Jeff Schwilk founder of the San Diego Minutemen. “The murder of Rob Krentz was inevitable as the drug war in Mexico spills across our border. But it could easily have been prevented. Mr. Krentz's blood is on the hands of Barack Obama, George Bush, Harry Reid, John McCain and all the other traitors in Washington who have refused to secure our southern border after all these years.”
[RANCHER shot]
The Arizona rancher waged a 10-year battle against thousands of illegal immigrants who crossed into the country and onto his property. When Barrett stopped 16 Mexican Nationals at gunpoint on his land, the ACLU stepped in and brought a civil rights lawsuit against the Arizona rancher.
Local law enforcement officers refer to Barrett’s ranch as the “avenue of choice” for illegal immigrants to enter America illegally. Barrett put up with property damage, death of livestock and numerous home invasions.
The ACLU claimed in the lawsuit against Barrett that he inflicted emotional distress by holding the migrants at gunpoint, threatening to turn his dog loose and shooting anyone who attempted to escape.
The Arizona rancher lost his case.
The jury awarded $7,500 each in actual damages to two of the plaintiffs for the The Arizona rancher lost his case.
The jury awarded $7,500 each in actual damages to two of the plaintiffs for the infliction of emotional distress and $1,400 each to two others for assault for a total of $78,000.
THE FBI VISIT
On June 30, 2005, federal law enforcement officials finally descended upon Islamberg but not to make arrests or to investigate the reports of gunfire and explosions. They rather make the trek to the compound to take part in a communal picnic in honor of the Muslim Boy Scouts of America....

I believe Americans are now waking up ...
Our politicians sold America down the river for more profits to foreign interests and slave wages.
Now these people who are supposed to represent our interest in congress are worried that there could be an up rising, I wonder why.

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track...
Leading up to President Obama's inauguration in January 2009, the number of voters who felt the country was heading in the right direction remained below 20%. The week of his inauguration, voter confidence rose to 27% and then steadily increased to 40% in early May 2009. Confidence began falling after that.
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of the Political Class believe the United States is generally heading in the right direction, up significantly from last week, while 85% of Mainstream voters think the country is going down the wrong track.

Most black voters (69%) still believe the country is heading in the right direction. Though that number had been dropping steadily,....

Actually, I read somewhere recently that the largest single voting bloc out there is the non voter. I will dig for a link.

It is also possible not to vote at all
might be an interesting tactic
Another aspect of the 2008 election that was true to form with previous presidential elections is the number of non-voters significantly exceeded the winning candidates vote total. In the last 100 years the non-voters have “won” every presidential election. One hundred million people chose not to vote in 2008 – 43% of possible voters – while the “winning” Democratic candidate received only 3 in 10 possible votes. So the non-voters won the election by 44%, and 7 out of 10 possible voters rejected the candidate elected president! 2
The non-voters huge 44% margin of victory in 2008 was not an anomaly. It was identical to the non-voters victory margin 172 years earlier in the 1836 election when Martin Van Buren was elected president. It was also only slightly less than the non-voters historical average 49% margin of victory in a presidential election. 3
A notable aspect of the non-voters overwhelming 2008 victory is it was accomplished without a single radio, television or print media political advertisement, or a single stump speech or gathering encouraging people not to vote. Thus the cost per non-voter was $0.00. In contrast the Democratic presidential campaign in 2008 spent $10.51 per vote to finish second, while the Republican presidential campaign spent $5.51 per vote in their third place effort.
The United States of Fear
Of course, the U.S. national security state has quite a different formula for engendering safety in America: fight the Afghan War until hell freezes over; keep the odd base or two in Iraq; dig into the Persian Gulf region; send U.S. Special Operations troops into any country where a terrorist might possibly lurk; and make sure the drones aren't far behind. In other words, reinforce our war state by ensuring that we're eternally in a state of war, and then scare the hell out of Americans by repeatedly insisting that we're in imminent danger, that shoe, underwear, and someday butt bombers will destroy our country, our lives, and our civilization. Insist that a single percent of risk is 1% too much when it comes to terror and American lives, and then demand that those who feel otherwise be dealt with punitively, if they won't shut up.
It's a formula for leaving you naked in airports, while increasing the oppressive power of the state. And here's the dirty, little, distinctly Orwellian secret: the national security state can't do without those Yemeni terrorists (and vice versa), as well as our homegrown variety. All of them profit from a world of war. You don't – and on that score, what happens in an airport line should be the least of your worries.
