Obama’s New World Order
Posted by Henry Lamb June 1, 2010
It should come as no surprise. During the campaign, he told us he was a “citizen of the world.” Last week, he told the cadets at West Point, and the rest of the world, just what his vision of a new world order is.Obama wants a new international order that can “resolve the challenges of our times.” That’s what Woodrow Wilson wanted when he and his cronies created the League of Nations. That’s what Franklin Roosevelt wanted when he and his cronies created the United Nations. Fortunately, conservative Senators prevented the United States from surrendering its sovereignty to Wilson’s vision of a New World Order. Roosevelt steamrolled what few conservatives there were in 1945, and the United Nations was created to “resolve the challenges” of his time. Read the rest of this entry »
Wind Turbine Project for Kewaunee County
Posted by Ron Heuer, May 27, 2010
————-This article orginally appeared in the April GOP newsletter for Kewaunee County ———–
Kewaunee County is in the spotlight for a major “Renewable Energy” Project, the “Element Power Tisch Mills Project”. This wind turbine project is in the planning stages to place up to 111, 450 ft. tall wind turbines in the area bounded by Krok Road on the North, Hwy 42 on the East, County Trunk B, on the West and County Trunk V in the South into Manitowoc County. In the Kewaunee County Townships of West Kewaunee County and Carlton, there are plans to place between 40 and 50 turbines.
I live in West Kewaunee County Township and last October I was contacted by a representative of Element Power Wind Development, LLC concerning their plans to build this Wind Farm. In the initial conversation, it was clearly the intent of Element Power to talk to individual land owners and to get individuals signed up on their Renewable Energy Lease. To influence individual land owners to sign up, they put together very impressive revenue numbers that would entice land owners to sign. For example, if a person had one turbine on their land, they stood to gain estimated annual revenue of about $13K. If a land owner had enough land and there was the potential of 2 or 3 turbines it would be two or three times that $13K figure or $26K or $39K per year! Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, San Fran! How about boycotting California first!
Posted by Bobby Eberle May 20, 2010
Boycotts, boycotts, boycotts. That’s all we’re hearing these days. As soon as Arizona stepped forward to take a stand against illegal immigration by simply passing a law that reiterates current federal law, liberals across the country went wild. Left-wing local governments such as in San Francisco were quick to condemn Arizona’s efforts to protect its residents. However, before San Francisco gets too high and mighty, perhaps the city officials should boycott California first! Read the rest of this entry »
Our Broken Deportation System Strikes Again
Posted by Michelle Malkin, May 14, 2010
Wouldn’t it be grand if the Obama administration cared more about policing our borders than about policing our refrigerators? How about fixing our deportation system instead of fixing our junk-food diets?
First Lady Michelle Obama argued this week that obesity is a “national security” issue. But her husband allows far greater threats to go unabated. The FBI’s arrests of two Boston-area men tied to the Times Square bombing attempt — both held on immigration violations — underscore the continuing homeland security lapses.

Kagan Was ‘Not Sympathetic’ as Law Clerk to Gun-Rights Argument
Posted by Greg Stohr and Kristin Jensen, May 13 (Bloomberg) —
Elena Kagan said as a U.S. Supreme Court law clerk in 1987 that she was “not sympathetic” toward a man who contended that his constitutional rights were violated when he was convicted for carrying an unlicensed pistol.
Kagan, whom President Barack Obama nominated to the high court this week, made the comment to Justice Thurgood Marshall, urging him in a one-paragraph memo to vote against hearing the District of Columbia man’s appeal. Read the rest of this entry »

Good afternoon people of the First Assembly District! Today is an important day for Law Enforcement. In Madison we honored the law enforcement officers that have died in the line of duty. Despite the gloomy, cool and rainy conditions, a nice gathering of people joined together in observing and participating in the 20th anniversary of the ceremonies undertaken in Madison to honor the fallen.

Taxed Out of State
Posted by State Representative Kevin Petersen, May 7, 2009
You may have heard the news rumbling through Wisconsin about Harley Davidson. In an effort to fill gaps between expenses and profits, Harley Davidson Inc. must cut $54 million in annual operating costs. To offset the difference, one of the options Harley is considering is relocating its Wisconsin factories to another state. Read the rest of this entry »

How Mexico Treats Illegal Aliens
Posted by Michelle Malkin, April 28, 2010
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door “to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.” But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in “Nazi-zona” last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south.
The Arizona law bans sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws, stiffens penalties against illegal alien day laborers and their employers, makes it a misdemeanor for immigrants to fail to complete and carry an alien registration document, and allows the police to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they are in the U.S. legally. If those rules constitute the racist, fascist, xenophobic, inhumane regime that the National Council of La Raza, Al Sharpton, Catholic bishops and their grievance-mongering followers claim, then what about these regulations and restrictions imposed on foreigners?
– The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?
– If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.
– Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).
– Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.
– Ready to show your papers? Mexico’s National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.
All of these provisions are enshrined in Mexico’s Ley General de Población (General Law of the Population) and were spotlighted in a 2006 research paper published by the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Security Policy. There’s been no public clamor for “comprehensive immigration reform” in Mexico, however, because pro-illegal alien speech by outsiders is prohibited.
Consider: Open-borders protesters marched freely at the Capitol building in Arizona, comparing GOP Gov. Jan Brewer to Hitler, waving Mexican flags, advocating that demonstrators “Smash the State,” and holding signs that proclaimed “No human is illegal” and “We have rights.”
But under the Mexican constitution, such political speech by foreigners is banned. Noncitizens cannot “in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.” In fact, a plethora of Mexican statutes enacted by its congress limit the participation of foreign nationals and companies in everything from investment, education, mining and civil aviation to electric energy and firearms. Foreigners have severely limited private property and employment rights (if any).
As for abuse, the Mexican government is notorious for its abuse of Central American illegal aliens who attempt to violate Mexico’s southern border. The Red Cross has protested rampant Mexican police corruption, intimidation and bribery schemes targeting illegal aliens there for years. Mexico didn’t respond by granting mass amnesty to illegal aliens, as it is demanding that we do. It clamped down on its borders even further. In late 2008, the Mexican government launched an aggressive deportation plan to curtain illegal Cuban immigration and human trafficking through Cancun.
Meanwhile, Mexican consular offices in the United States have coordinated with left-wing social justice groups and the Catholic Church leadership to demand a moratorium on all deportations and a freeze on all employment raids across America.
Mexico is doing the job Arizona is now doing — a job the U.S. government has failed miserably to do: putting its people first. Here’s the proper rejoinder to all the hysterical demagogues in Mexico (and their sympathizers here on American soil) now calling for boycotts and invoking Jim Crow laws, apartheid and the Holocaust because Arizona has taken its sovereignty into its own hands:
