Dissecting Brummett's condescending column re Secure Arkansas & Tea Parties

Dissecting condescending newspaper column re: Secure Arkansas/Tea Party

Unintended consequences?  No doubt…but we thank John Brummett for bringing attention to matters of extreme concern to savvy taxpaying loyal citizens.  Since we are the ones footing all the government bills we’d better educate ourselves on what they and their “partners” are doing and why…most done to our detriment.

Comments & clarification follow after you read Mr. Brummett’s screed.

Tea Party, reasonable and not

Posted on 16 March 2010

By John Brummett

CONWAY — I wrote a few weeks ago that people in the Tea Party movement are irrational extremists.

So the McClanahans of Conway — Lowell, a prominent Rotarian, and his wife, Marsha — invited me to the next meeting of the Faulkner County Tea Party to see that they aren’t so crazed.

This gathering took place Thursday night. I am here to tell you that, indeed, they are not irrational at all. The McClanahans, I mean.

But some of the 135 people in the audience and the evening’s guest speaker, a woman named Jeannie Burlsworth — well, let me be careful not to overstate with incendiary language: They trouble me in the way they let their imaginations run wild to fuel their distrust of anything having to do with government.

First the better news: Lowell McClanahan strikes me as a perfectly reasonable man.

He explained that he became alarmed at what he, as a thorough conservative, viewed as a leftward lurch of the Obama administration. He said he helped found this local Tea Party organization only to advance constitutionally limited government and fiscal responsibility, principles we all ought to endorse.

He said he is interested in strategic goals, not general cries to “take our country back.”

McClanahan stressed that the Tea Party, at least in Faulkner County, practices open attendance and free expression. That’s admirable. So, he said, I should not ascribe to all Tea Partiers everything that gets spouted either from the audience or by a guest speaker.

That brings me to Jeannie Burlsworth. (1)  She’s the chairman of Secure Arkansas, which has never quite gotten its act together to get its ballot initiative before the voters to deny public benefits to anyone 14 or older not properly documented for citizenship. (2)

She kept going off on tangents in her presentation (3) — about health care reform, or Barack Obama, or cap-and-trade, or lost sovereignty, or Patrick Henry Hays — only to say she didn’t have time to give everyone a full report on each.

Patrick Henry Hays?

I’ll come back to that in a minute.

If there is a central theme in Burlsworth’s scatter-shooting oratory, it would seem to be that American politicians at all levels and off all stripes, even Republicans in many cases, are conspiring to sell out our individual American liberties to sinister one-world control. (4)

Here’s an example from Burlsworth of how politicians allegedly work against the people: Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s job includes assessing citizen proposals for ballot initiatives, such as those Burlsworth’s group puts forward, for fair phrasing and technical correctness. This means his office sometimes tells Burlsworth’s group to rewrite something before he’ll give it an all-clear for signature-gathering.

So, in Burlsworth’s view, this means that McDaniel was trained at the elitist Aspen Institute(5), to which he won a fellowship a few years ago, in how to keep the people down by resisting noble initiatives arising from their attempted exercise of liberty. (6)

This Aspen Institute is one of those self-important think tanks depleting foundation money, which has to go somewhere, on conferences and retreats and the gifted higher thinking amid rarefied air of a more sophisticated class.

I know Dustin McDaniel. He went to the Aspen Institute because it made him feel like a hot-shot and was a resume enhancer. (7)

Anyway, his office has been approving these initiatives by Secure Arkansas, after improving them to make them less vulnerable to legal challenge. The problem for Secure Arkansas has been that the group hasn’t had the wherewithal to collect the signatures.

Now to Patrick Henry Hays. He’s the veteran mayor of North Little Rock. But that, Burlsworth asserts, is the very least of it. (8)

There’s this thing called ICLEI, standing for International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives. It is a collection of municipal government officials from around the world who seek to advance ideas for sustainable economic growth deploying so-called green initiatives. (9)

Because he wanted to feel important by joining such a thing, and because he’s been around a long time, Hays has risen to the current board chairmanship of the American division.

Burlsworth sees this ICLEI as a vital cog in an international conspiracy to fabricate a global-warming scare through which politicians worldwide, led by Patrick Henry Hays of North Little Rock, Ark., will avail themselves of this coded phrase, sustainable growth, to take over our free and independent country. (10)

She said Gov. Mike Beebe must report to Hays periodically on how much he has done to deliver Arkansas to this global control.

I know Mike Beebe, too. And I know Patrick Henry Hays. Somehow I can’t picture Beebe reporting diddly to Hays.

But some of these people would think I’m naive, or in on the fix.(11)

Regarding the above Brummett article:

This kind of journalism is just what we have come to expect regarding anything  politically incorrect, e.g. the Constitution, rule of law, individual rights/responsibilities/freedoms, etc.

1.      Jeannie Burlsworth is a lady of considerable intelligence, oratory abilities and ethically impeccable.  

2.      Denial of benefits, not mandated by the federal government, to illegal aliens.

3.      Burlsworth is passionate about the reality of the many undermining attacks occurring in/on our republic. (There are so many, you cannot come close to covering them all in one limited speech.)

4.      Anyone not in denial or complicit knows there is no real difference in the two parties ultimate goals…power & control.

5.      Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies is a global organization with offices around the world.  Environment, education, and health are major concerns for this "international non-profit organization dedicated to informed dialogue and inquiry on issues of global concern."  (Newspeak for global Collectivism)

6.      The AIHS targets “leaders” in the public & private sectors, unlike ACORN which targets the “disaffected”….both are organizers with specific goals, none of which is good for the American middleclass. A.G. Dustin McDaniel was not randomly chosen in order to make him feel like a “big shot”, he was selected because he was seen as a “player”.

7.      2009: McDaniel took a Middle East trip, including Egypt, with Aspen ($13,232) and attended their Seminar in Aspen, CO. ($2,224) The Institute did not subsidize these trips for the fun of it. Also, the trips were taken during the height of the Arkansas Legislative session—why was his presence not mandatory and what were citizens paying him to do?

8.      The same is true of ICLEI…a global organization dedicated to the destruction of individual, state, and country sovereignty.  Their mission statement=” Local Governments for Sustainability is an international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development”.  Translation=Government control of every facet of your life.  Extremely interesting that the North Little Rock mayor is the president/CEO of the entire USA division and he didn’t rise to such an important global position by wanting to “feel important”.  He was selected because he was seen as one who would work to move their agenda effectively.

9.      “Over 1107 cities, towns, counties, and their associations worldwide comprise ICLEI's growing membership. ICLEI works with these and hundreds of other local governments through international performance-based, results-oriented campaigns and programs.” (ICLEI website)

10.   “Our campaigns, programs, and projects promote Local Agenda 21 as a participatory, long-term, strategic planning process that addresses local sustainability while protecting global common goods. Linking local action to internationally agreed upon goals and targets such as Agenda 21, the Rio Conventions, the Habitat Agenda, the Millennium Development Goals and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation is an essential component.” (ICLEI website)

11.   Brummett could be either naïve or complicit…or both.  Hard to tell.  The point is that asking bold, direct questions can now make a citizen a target of some ugly repercussions, making it uncomfortable, even unsavory to question boldly, which of course is the goal.

 

Those who are familiar with Brummett’s columns understand that he is a Progressive, constantly & consistently advancing the Collectivist agenda, but in this particular piece he may have angered his mentors by commenting on their activities…including Governor Beebe.  In any case we are glad to see these activities discussed in a newspaper and brought to the attention of the public.

Alcohol license granted illegal alien smuggler


Regarding the results of my recent FOIA:

Director Michael Langley & the ABC Board, March 13, 2010

Briefly, I am sorely disappointed in your various conclusions regarding the issuance of a liquor license to Maria L. Diaz-Leon.

This woman allegedly became a naturalized citizen in 1999 and in 2005 & 2006 she was arrested by the INS station at Hebbronville, Texas for smuggling aliens or harboring aliens. That is a fact. A fact that should have negated her citizenship. The fact that she is not in jail is simply due to the non-performance of at that time the INS, now ICE. By the way, if she is a naturalized citizen, why does she need an interpreter? When was the requirement of learning our English language dropped from the process of becoming a naturalized citizen?

As you know, she has had other legal problems. Each of you, with the exception of Director Langley, demonstrated that you were hell-bent on giving this woman a liquor license. Why? Political Correctness, or some other reason? Cui bono?

Long time Detective J.C. Ryder made a statement “as far as Mr. Ryder knows there is nothing about Ms. Deleon that would disqualify her from holding an ABC permit”. This flies in the face of testimony by Fort Smith Police Chief Kevin Lindsay. J.C., may I introduce you to 8 USC, Section 1325, most particularly 1324a…hiring, harboring, transporting any illegal alien—a felony punishable by 10 yrs jail and $2,000 fine for each illegal. J.C., I believe if you had conveyed the above to the Board we would not have another out-of-control illegal Mexican operation on Midland Blvd. In all actuality it should never have gotten to the point where you became involved.

I hope your future performances display a more professional and Constitutional conduct. The awarding of this license is a travesty, another example of selective law enforcement.

Kindest regards,

Joe McCutchen

P.S. Isn’t it ironic that she named her “club” El Coyote?

Open letter to the Arkansas Beverage Control Board

Are the Constitution, federal and state laws being corrupted by politicians, bureaucrats and other appointed and/or hired “officials” through stupidity, ignorance, criminal activity or buy-outs?

Witness the story appearing in the Fort Smith Times Record 1/21/10 titled “Alcohol permits awarded.” The principal in this piece was one Maria L. Diaz De Leon who was awarded an Arkansas state liquor license by the Arkansas Beverage Control Board (ABC).

Examine the facts as the Times Record presents them: Fort Smith detective Cody Elliott uncovered a dearth of evidence suggesting that Maria De Leon was not legally worthy to receive a liquor license. The ABC had the negative information in hand regarding De Leon. ABC Director Langley voted to deny De Leon a liquor permit, but he was overridden by Board member Ron Fuller’s comments and vote and the rest of the board was swayed by his politically correct rhetoric. Fuller’s comments: “the language barrier may have caused some confusion during the interview,” and “I think we should give people new to our country perhaps an opportunity to show they can be very successful and to show that they are genuine part of American society.”

The Fort Smith Detective’s investigation revealed the following: De Leon had been cited for traffic violations and was reportedly once arrested in Texas on suspicion of smuggling and harboring illegal immigrants (a felony under federal law 8 USC, but law enforcement rarely ever pursues charges against illegals). Furthermore she lied through a translator saying she’d never been cited or arrested.

It certainly appears obvious to me this woman is an illegal alien, unable to speak English (a requirement for naturalized citizens), a suspected illegal smuggler, an unsafe driver, and a liar. To top it off she has the audacity to name her club “El Coyote.” Coyote is the common name used to describe Mexican human traffickers.

In my opinion, a majority of the ABC Board, and in particular Ron Fuller, can only be described as criminally contemptible and grossly incompetent. Fuller’s statement saying that De Leon is a “genuine part of American society” is blasphemous to the rule of law and legitimate citizenship.

As a citizen of the U.S. and Arkansas, I demand this license be cancelled immediately and if not so, action be taken against the ABC to prevent it from issuing licenses to persons who are not lawfully present in Arkansas. What’s more the woman should be arrested, punished and deported if, in fact, she is not here legally.

This woman appears to be potentially guilty of at least two criminal acts—invading our country illegally and trafficking in human beings, while lying about receiving numerous traffic citations, which poses the question did she have any insurance? Meanwhile the Sebastian County Sheriff, ICE, and the FBI refuse to enforce 8 USC Sections 1324(a), 1324(c), & 1644.

The Club El Coyote will no doubt be a conduit for more illegals. It’s a shame that the American citizen who applied for a license at the Season’s Inn was rejected for minor citations 20 years ago—American justice?

Questions & responses/Mayor Womack running for U.S. Congress

Yes, you may share my responses. 

 

On the subject of enforcement, I can only give you my opinion.  First, most city officials are so overloaded with normal "stuff'...they just don't have time/take the time to investigate options on matters normally reserved (by that, I mean traditionally reserved) by federal officials.  Illegal immigration enforcement is one of those.  Second, most city officials run from the threat of litigation.  It's expensive and time consuming.  Local officials have a much easier course of action--blame it on the Feds.  It has worked.  Third, a high percentage of local officials have liberal tendencies and while they may not be for "open borders", they sure act like they are. 

 

I'm cut a little differently.  It is probably the military in me.  I believe in the rule of law--and it was obvious to me that our country was under "attack" from a non-English speaking, unskilled, and largely uneducated population that did not respect our laws nor our values/traditions.  I saw the opportunity with 287(g) and sought it.  I faced opposition from sympathetic groups, etc, but because 287(g) was a federal program, I thought "What the heck?  who can fault me for pusuring a program authorized by Congress?  And, if they sued me, what would it be for?"

 

I can't begin to tell you the pressure I got from a number of individuals and groups.  But my default setting was always back to this:

 

1.  Was it right (to ignore the laws of this country)?

 

2.  Was the program I was pursuing purposed in solving the dilemma--and was it litigation-proof?

 

3.  Would our city embrace it?

 

To our credit, even despite the efforts to shoot me down, our city was successful and it did not take very long (a few days) for Springdale and the Wash/Benton County Sheriff's offices to jump on.  Why?  To me, the answer was clear---because they knew illegals would leave Rogers and displace to their areas.  Simple.

 

You did not write to get a thesis on this subject.  But it is important for people to know the context of what I have done, why I have done it, and more than anything--that I have the courage to lead. 

 

This subject/issue is complicated for sure.  There's much more that could/should be done to protect our borders.  Honestly, there is likely no better time than now to reach some consensus on the way forward--given that 6 people are "looking" for every job that is open.  When unemployment is low and jobs are aplenty, rank and file Americans are not so predisposed to taking a stand.  Right now, it "ain't" that way.

 

All I want is a "seat at the table" when Congress takes this issue on.  As I said before, if we don't address it now, we'll be having this discussion again--and the problem will have grown.  America does not need that.

Mayor,

Thank you so much for your studied reply.  Needless to say it is refreshing to ever hear a politician answer questions directly.

 

Would it be all right with you if I share this response with some other interested citizens?

 

Again, many thanks,

Joe

 

P.S.  Would you be so kind as to tell me why no officials cite or enforce federal immigration laws under 8 USC….aiding, abetting, transporting, hiring illegals a felony punishable by jail & fines, plus all law enforcement officers are authorized & obligated to arrest illegals and illegal employers???  No official has ever answered that question that I know of.

Subject: Re: FW: Political position questions regarding your campaign for 3rd Congressional Dist.

 

Joe:

 

Sorry for the delay.  I know that you have been out of town and I trust your travels were safe.

 

In response to your questions, here are my answers:

 

1.  I am opposed to amnesty.

 

2.  I believe I have already enunciated a position on the "invasion" you describe--in leading by example.  I am the only candidate in the field with a proven record on the subject.  I championed the effort in Rogers--the first city in Arkansas--to seek affiliation and implement the 287(g) program in our local police department.  It has been a "model" program according to ICE leadership.  My understanding is that >1,000 criminal aliens have been deported as a result of this program.  I understand the impact of illegal immigration. As mayor, I have witnessed the impact on our public schools, health care, and the social infrastructure of a community.  When a Rogers Police Officer was nearly killed by an illegal immigrant, I sought solutions to the problem.  The 287(g) program was, in my judgment, the only legitimate way of addressing the situation without subjecting our city to almost certain expensive and timeless litigation like other American communities had endured.  And when the issue surfaced in public meetings, there were no senators, representatives, retired generals, or lawyers there defending me.  I had the courage to act on my own.  Fortunately, my City Council was fully supportive and over three years into the program, I believe the results speak for themselves.  In Congress, I will continue to demonstrate leadership on this issue. 

 

3.  I am not beholding to anyone.  My platform is based on conservative values for our nation.  I welcome support for those who wish to send me to Washington for that purpose.  I welcome your support.  As a pro-business conservative, I expect to receive financial support from business.  I believe my record of economic development in the City of Rogers ($1+ billion in development without raising taxes) will attract support from the business community.  I will work in Congress to advocate for legislation/initiatives that help create jobs for the American worker.  With six people unemployed for every job opening, I believe job creation is among our highest priorities as a nation.  Probably THE highest priority.

 

On the subject of illegal immigration, I will continue to demand:

 

1.  Our border is sealed. 

2.  The flow of benefits to illegal immigrants is stopped.

3.  Our Congress must work toward immigration reform.

 

If we do not accomplish the aforementioned, we will be having this discussion ten years from now and the scale of the issue will not be 12-20 million illegals, it will be 20-30 million or 30-40 million, etc.  Keeping the status quo is a victory for the "open borders" crowd, not you and me.  You mentioned the Eisenhower program of the 1950s.  My understanding is that this effort resulted in the deportation of 1 million =/- illegal immigrants.  The scale of the issue today is many times greater.  I am deeply concerned that this issue--if not now, certainly very soon--will be like the banks that were "too big to fail."  The issue will simply become "too large to fix." 

 

That is precisely why I am running for Congress.

 

All the best.

Rogers, Arkansas

Mayor Womack,                                                                           March 3, 2010

A question or so regarding your political positions. 

Without vacillation or disclaimers, I would like to know your very specific positions on the following: You are obviously very aware of 8 USC and its numerous subsections.

1.       If elected to congress will you vote for or against amnesty in any form for the estimated 25-35 million illegal Mexicans and OTM’s now nesting in our republic? 

It has been said that you do not believe deportation can be achieved.  I remind you that it was accomplished by President Eisenhower and looking at subsection 1324a of 8 USC, a few well placed arrests will terminate the illegal alien crisis.

2.       Are you going to enunciate in a specific manner your position regarding the illegal alien invasion and the huge costs placed on the backs of taxpaying citizens, eg. Education, health, legal, food, incarcerations, translators, ad infinitum.

3.      Are you in any way politically beholding to the Tyson’s, Walton’s, George’s, Simmons, OK Foods, et al?

Will look forward to hearing from you in the near term.

Kindest regards,

How will candidates for Sheriff respond to questions re illegal alien invasion?

Chief Deputy Sheriff Tommy Young                                                                                      March 9, 2010

 I am not aware of your position paper which would enunciate your stand on the critical issues facing our republic.

Therefore; I am posing some questions which I would appreciate very specific answers:

1.      Your position on the illegal alien Mexican & OTM invasion occurring in Sebastian County.

2.      Your plans to deal with:

a.      Gangs

b.      Drug distribution centers

c.      Those companies & corporations hiring illegals

1.      It should be mentioned here that the present Sheriff Frank Atkinson, of which you are an integral part of his administration, had involvements with at least 2 criminal operations, i.e. OK Foods and the illegal’s which said firm employs re Sebastian County Sheriff Department’s officers & equipment furnishing protection (citizen taxpayers were cordoned off), traffic control, use of public facilities, cleanup, etc. for OK Foods picnic at Ben Geren Park for some 2,500 -3,000 illegal alien Mexican & OTM workers. 

2.      An FOIA request was submitted to Atkinson and you Deputy Young stated the sheriff’s office did not keep records pertaining to those events.  How then did you know how much to pay deputies overtime and how to charge for vehicular and other equipment used?  Why & how were Greenwood public school buses utilized?

3.      In my opinion, this was a gross abuse of the sheriff’s department, the rule of law and the taxpayers’ monies.

4.      Your position on 8 USC, Section 1324a, and absolutely & most particularly 1324c….followed by Section 1644.

d.      Identity theft

e.      Amendment 2…the right of the individual to bear arms.

Tommy, times have changed and a person seeking elective office, especially the most powerful law enforcement office in our republic, which as you know supersedes federal law enforcement, can no longer campaign on nebulous non-binding statements. “It’s the Feds responsibility” excuse is no longer acceptable.

I will appreciate your honest transparency on the above questions that are so vital to the stability, heritage, culture, and rule of law of our republic.

How will the next Sebastian County Sheriff respond to the growing illegal alien invasion.

Deputy Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck,                                                                                March 9, 2010

I perused your website and read a number of eloquent statements by the Founders and perhaps others regarding leadership, aspirations, selflessness, teamwork, etc. but I did not see a position paper which would enunciate your stand on the critical issues facing our republic.

Politicians, bureaucrats, & the rest of the government establishment—are you arrogant, ignorant, stupid, opportunists, or just buffoons?

 

 A case can be made for all of the above.

 

The responsibility for all the above rests with foolish voters not paying attention and purposely academically challenged, compliments of the government school system, formerly known as public schools, the one that teaches our kids to cheat, i.e. grade inflation instigated by administrators instructing the teachers to ease up on course work, in addition to a boatload of citizen naïveté.

 

The whole of the U.S. is in Intensive Care, no evidence to support recovery from its economic depression—no, not recession.

 

Thousands of Arkansas citizens have lost or are losing their jobs, struggling to hold the family unit together, many holding down multiple jobs, while so-called “public servants” squander and steal taxpayer dollars cavalierly in multiple nefarious ways.

 

One monumental concern: elective officials and government employees being awarded pay raises, especially in times of economic crisis, when in reality government should be reduced across the board by at least 50%. (Most are nonessential and unconstitutional)The audacity of those with government involvements now giving and getting raises and benefits, while stealing from the producers who generate the funds necessary to keep the criminal government behemoth afloat.

 

The above raises, in conjunction with government unions, i.e. teachers, postal, etc. juxtaposed with non-elective boards, commissions, fact-finders, etc. all unduly influence unconstitutional legislation, rules, and regulations on all fronts.  Government unions and commissions must be abolished.  Elected officials should be doing any legitimate work done by commissions to assure oversight.  There could be some exceptions.

 

Example: The Fort Smith city government awarded a 2.5 % pay raise to its bloated workforce, while campaigning for new taxes and city government expansion via federal programs implemented by the American & City Planning Commission.  There are hundreds of these type commissions with nebulous sounding names that are dedicated to stealing citizens’ rights and properties.  “Quality of Place” is just one example that the Fort Smith city government has embarked upon. Planning Commissions are unelected, hugely powerful, feed off taxpayer money, virtually no oversight and are embarked upon a goal to destroy sovereignty, all under the aegis of Agenda 21, the umbrella for all the nice sounding “Green City Compacts”, the most common one, “Sustainable Development”.

 

The above are examples of political/bureaucratic arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, opportunism and/or buffoonery:

 

Crawford County: hiring new employees on the say so of some judge campaigning for reelection while giving raises to 10 county employees. Obscene. 

 

 The 70 Percenter, Governor Mike Beebe (alleged 70% approval rating) has hired (vote buying?) over 2,500 new government slugs during his gubernatorial term (2 ½ yrs).

 

Turn attention to the Arkansas state legislature. 18 state representatives and 2 state senators spent in excess of $1 million on frivolous trips, many outright vacations, 9 of the 20 have government employment backgrounds…can you say government schools?  All told the state’s 135 legislators collected a grand total of $5.4 million in travel expenses and extras in 2009.  These numbers  keep skyrocketing year after year.

 

Examples of parasitic arrogance include House Education Committee Chairman, Bill Abernathy (D. Mena), a retired school teacher. He logged in at $56,592 in 2009 while complaining “in the end it’s not that financially rewarding to serve”. 

 

The biggest parasite of all is Senator Jimmy Jeffress (D. Crossett), a retired school teacher. Jeffress spent $60,092 in 2009.  Jeffress stated “he’s never really checked whether it would be cheaper for him to fly or drive his vehicle”.  “What if I did check it out to see, I’m still going to drive, no matter what”.


Jeffress also said “I would like for my wife to go with me and we take some of our grandchildren with us because they have these wonderful programs”.

 

Brother Senator Gene Jeffress (D. Louann), a retired school teacher, was number 7 on the dirty 20 list.  Sen. Gene blew $53,949 on travel.

 

The dirty 20 should write a new “Gulliver’s Travels” book.  The lack of integrity or remorse is stunning.

 

Now to the biggest criminal enterprise, the already alluded to government school system .  Comes word from Superintendent Benny Gooden that Fort Smith needs a new high school.  Gooden declares “since 2001 there has been a 150 student per year increase”.  No word on the demographics, i.e. who are these students?  Can it not be concluded that third world Mexicans and other Hispanics make up the vast majority of Gooden’s projections, if so, why aren’t they deported?  As you may recall, Gooden made the statement some years ago “we’ll take all we can get”, referring to illegals and children of illegals; conclusion, more government expansion, i.e. more money.  Observe the social, educational, correctional, health, and economic mess, including proliferation of gangs and the drug culture

 

The 150 student per year proliferation appears to be an out of control illegal immigration invasion, coupled with corrupt elected and appointed officials.

 

Inquire of elected officials why they are awarding pay raises to government types and personally enriching themselves.  It will indeed be interesting to see if the Fort Smith school board awards Superintendent Gooden with another obscene salary increase, if so it would be even more interesting to hear their explanation.

 

Example of the top-down destruction of our republic by all governments is the treatment of the citizen Tea Party movement, i.e. disregarded, vilified, exploited, and co-opted.   Case in point, Grover Norquist, the darling of “conservatives”, on the board of CPAC is actively campaigning for amnesty for 25-35 million illegal Mexicans & OTM’s, accompanied by another counterfeit “conservative” Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.).

 

The government genocidal bulldozer churns on, unabated.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Joe McCutchen

Obamacare Dr. McCutchen prescribes for ailing Sen. Lautenberg

To the Arkansas Six: (Senators Lincoln & Pryor, Representatives Berry, Boozman, Ross & Snyder)                                                                                 March 3, 2010

Dr. McCutchen’s recommended treatment for Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s (D-NJ) lymphoma via Obamacare: DRUG THERAPY ONLY.  (see reason below)

Initially I prescribe one 5 gr ASA tid for one week. If that does not satisfy his pain, I will then prescribe ibuprofen 800 mg. tid for one week only.  If the two above meds produce a gastric ulcer, he can drink milk.  No H2 pumps will be available.  After two weeks if his condition further deteriorates I will prescribe Lorcet, generic only—no brands under Obamacare, he prefers meds made in China, India, & Bangladesh. I will prescribe 100 generic Lorcet and if this pain med does not heal his lymphoma, the ole man is on his own, because he is over the hill, not productive in any manner and besides Chemo is too expensive.

We thank Sen. Lautenberg for his decades of “public service” which has all but destroyed our once vaunted republic, e.g. bankruptcy, welfare, wars built on lies (Balkans & Iraq, & now Afghanistan & Pakistan) and Israel-Firster Lautenberg wants to attack Iran.  You know, it’s the American way—bombing the hell out of sovereign nations who offer no threat to the U.S. in any way.  The mantra of evangelicals and Israel-Firsters is kill, kill, kill.  And it ain’t bad for the industrial/military complex, the only going business left in the U.S.

Now back to chemotherapy:  we can’t spend the money on Frank because we have two sick illegal Mexicans who are down in their backs and can’t perform sexually, and besides that, one is a chicken plucker and the other is hod-carrier in NW Arkansas and both are badly needed.  Arkansas and the nation must continue the exploitation of illegals by such auspicious companies like Tyson’s, OK Foods, Simmons, George’s et al. thereby creating a visionary multicultural gulag.  Open borders—that’s the way to go & guarantees millions more illegal tresspassers, thereby assuring more votes for the Marxist Democrat Party.

Oh my gosh, I almost forgot, you elected parasitic slugs in the congress and senate have “Cadillac Healthcare” and the ole deceiver Lautenberg will probably be around another decade…damn the bad luck!

Are you six foolish enough to vote for any form for that Marxist/Socialist Obama’s takeover of American healthcare?  We shall soon see.

You six are doing a helluva job destroying our Constitution/country.  

Kindest regards,

Joe McCutchen

Towns under globalist attack...LTE

Bravo to Jerry Hamel for expressing American citizens’ concerns/anger regarding runaway government spending, corruption and expansion.

He described Fort Smith government in particular.  As the city’s citizens are experiencing their jobs being outsourced, insourced, replaced by illegal aliens, retail stores, restaurants closing, manufacturers down-sizing, shuttering or moving out of town/country, the government gurus illogically, callously, unconstitutionally pursue projects that are not the proper function of government and neglect the ones that are. (e.g. sewers, streets, law enforcement)

Hamel names the proposed “prepared food” tax (while restaurants are closing) and increased numbers lining up at the Food Bank, unable to afford groceries much less eat out.  Meanwhile utopian city plans (no citizen vote) professional baseball team stadium, aquatic center, annexing economic loser Ben Geren Park, building downtown “attractions”, all of which benefit only government employees and the usual contractors who construct such projects. Consider also the scantily used, bloated transit system economic fiasco.

Do these “leaders” live in a vacuum? Don’t they eat at struggling restaurants, drive over awful, substandard streets, past empty buildings everywhere; take notice of and action about illegal aliens and their destruction of neighborhoods, their use/abuse of infrastructure, schools, healthcare, welfare, criminal gangs running the streets, identity theft, and other crimes?

Why are illegals entitled to so much more than legal taxpaying citizens who foot the bills?  Free healthcare, freedom from enforcement of existing laws (8 USC) against harboring, aiding, abetting, or hiring illegals, while citizens better “click it or ticket” and pay the exorbitant unfair taxes laid upon them or else!

All citizens need to be loudly vocal or these injustices will not only continue but continue to grow. Vote out all incumbents who promote additional burdens and freedom-killing projects advanced by socialist U.N./federal globalist local-level programs, such as “Quality of Place”, i.e. anything called “sustainable”.

Neo-conservative Vampires are baaaack! Who are they?

The Neo-Conservative Vampires are back—this time sucking the life out of the Tea Party Movement—preparing for a return to power after the disastrous Obama reign.

Patriots must not fall for their evil schemes, draped in patriotism/religion again if there is to be any hope left of restoring our Republic.  They sound wonderfully Constitutional and/or religious most of the time, but give themselves away on certain subjects….learn to identify them. Never forget Lenin’s famous phrase which embodies the Neo-Con Cultural Marxist favorite technique, “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves”.

Clever neo-cons have distinct positions which reveal their agendas, here are some:

1.      “War on terror” subterfuge that their mentor Leo Strauss called “eternal war for eternal peace” junk psychology, reminiscent of the Doublethink (simultaneously believing in 2 opposite concepts) such as “ignorance is knowledge” & “freedom is slavery” described in the novel 1984. Giving up our rights in the name of freedom - This is possibly the most relevant aspect of doublethink in our society today. With Orwellian surveillance on every corner and legislation like 'The Patriot Acts' & The Military Commissions Act (suspension of Habeas Corpus), et al we are being asked to give up the very freedoms that 'The War on Terror' is alleged to protect, in the name of freedom.  The heinous act of torture being promoted as “good or necessary” is part & parcel of this vicious attack on our Constitutional rule of law, individual rights and civilization. 

2.       Israel must be protected at all costs (the blood & treasure of the U.S. and those of countries we attack), but of course the neo-cons never don a bloody combat uniform!  

3.      The U.S. must use military force to shape the world and force other sovereign nations to do its biding, in order to “protect ourselves”….and of course enrich the military/industrial/banking complex.

4.      Those patriot citizens who question Obama’s birthplace and Constitutional right to be elected president are kooks. (Birthers)

5.      Those patriot citizens who question the truth regarding the government’s version of 911 are Kooks.  (Truthers)  Add OKC, Waco, Ruby Ridge, et al.

6.      They defend the use of martial law in case of a perceived “emergency”.

7.      They deny the existence of FEMA camps & preparations to silence dissidents.

8.      Most ignore or simply give lip service to open borders/illegal immigration, as well as the amount & types of legal immigration.  Many are ardent supporters of illegal immigration.

9.      They insist that the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on our intelligence ship the USS Liberty was a case of "mistaken identity."

Leo Strauss (neo-con mentor) and Saul Alinsky (the Progressives’/neo-libs’ mentor) had a lot in common, mainly that the Elite must rule over the ignorant masses….handed down from Plato.

Our Founders were followers of the Enlightenment (Individual rights & responsibilities)…handed down from Aristotle.  And the conflict rages on to this day, with Aristotle seldom winning obviously.

If we are to survive the onslaughts of the Neo-Liberals (Progressives/Democrats) and the Neo-Conservatives (Establishment Republicans) we must expose them on every occasion possible and prevent their receiving patriots’ funds and support. Patriots know who the Progressives are, but they are quite vulnerable to the siren calls of the Neo-con Vampires, many now infiltrating the Tea Parties.

 Since they are so good at what they do and so convincing, let us compile a list of their names, publications, organizations, etc. so that innocent citizens no longer fall for their rhetoric or their agendas, and let us circulate it everywhere as a tool for recognition.  This is a work in progress and your input is more than welcome.

Narcotics officer interviewed on TV..Illegal Mexican drug trade exploding
http://www.kfsm.com/news/kfsm-news-rv-illegal-immigrants-drug-narcotics,0,1131908.story   

Gentlemen:

 

Last evening, Feb. 25, 2010, Detective George Lawson was interviewed by CBS channel 5 regarding illegal drug trafficking in Fort Smith & environ.  Not a word in the local newspaper today.  When arrests are made for various offenses and the perpetrators are found to be illegal, why is the public generally not made aware of their status?

 

Det. Lawson explained that the illegal drugs and their carriers had their genesis in Mexico and said drugs entering our city are on the increase; indicating that this perhaps could be Mexican National drug distribution center.  I believe that the distribution center was said, but I could be wrong on that statement.

 

I am particularly interested in why you gentlemen, elected and hired, refuse to discuss the illegal Mexican invasion both in persons, illegal drugs, and any number of other illegal issues? 

 

You all treat the issue of illegal immigration as a “third rail” as it applies to the landscape of social services and illegal activities, but importantly the negative marks it is making on our children, schools, neighborhoods, jobs, law enforcement, healthcare…the latest example, the Mexican government demanding that UAMS educate and expand medical services to illegal Mexican nationals.

 

Why haven’t you, as a body, contacted numerous state and federal officials regarding the devastation being saddled on citizens?  Are you protecting those businesses & corporations hiring illegals?  Are you fearful, if so, of what?  Are you so engrossed in Political Correctness that you refuse to uphold existing laws, namely 8 USC immigration laws?  (you have been sent copies several times)

 

Your silence on the issues of drug trafficking, gangs, human trafficking, identity theft, incarceration, etc. does not generate the trust and confidence of citizens.

 

How about some honest, open discussion on the subject of illegal immigration and its effects on our community without using the worn-out canard, “it’s a federal responsibility”.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Joe McCutchen
