Why has the Govt created legislation giving Social Benefits to Illegal Aliens instead of caring for Elders?

mankekineo asked:


Pissed off at legislation regarding Social Benefits for unfit, uneducated illegal aliens who do not participate in out community versus taking care of our own? Yes!

I have decided, in addition to a severe lack of direction, the democratic and republican (note the small caps) are practicing “Divide and Conquer”:

Here is how it works:

A.)Illegal aliens use services, thus documenting and tracking them, but paying them sub minimum wage. Semi-unrestricted, this new Ultra-Underclass does America’s household cleaning and wretch jobs, is disposable, and at low wages, cost very little compared to paying Real Americans.

B.) Senior Citizens, the ones that built this current Social Structure, if kept worried and sick, will not participate in the side lines of lpolitical egislation. Vote they do, but a vote only means that Politicians enter office and then join the “Power Elite” who serve themselves.

Our Founding Fathers framed the US Constitution to maximize Americas ability to be flexible. When you divide and conquer, create illegal and enormous, power bureaucracies that have no checks on their actions, then we are have what we have:

“The Oligarchy”.

The Oligarchy is Machiavellian in structure, does one thing to appear gentle and kind, another thing to maintain it’s powerful strength and Patrician Power structure. Already, democrat or republican, we have an inherited ruler class. We are in the second and thrid gerneration of inhertied political offices.

People blame The Bushes, but actually this has been long in the making. I remember Walter Cronkite as the Great Commentator, the one who signed off every night, but was America’s “Night watchman”- calling 8pm, “All is Well”.

There are no more “Night Watchmen”, they are all hysterical buffoons. There are no more reporters, they are all, all of them from Oprah to Tom, to Katy, to Sue Simmons; Salon Gossipers. Some of us go to the Salons to listen, others go to the Whorehouses and Pubs to listen to Tomfoolery.

TV. It was TV that destroyed America. Not Ronald or Jimmy or George and George. Not drugs. TV.

There is no place of rest, or peace or quality life in America. TV has all the power and all the opinions and all the answers. No Michael Moore’s or Whoopi Goldberg’s can fight TV. They actually may be part of the problem- semi traitors, although we do love them.

There was once a movie, which, 25 years after it’s making, that dcumented this situation. News and Politics and Legistlation degenerated as a result of TV. The movie was called “Network” with Faye Dunaway and an all star cast.

Democratic societies are communities with enormous amounts of opinions, legislation, action, confusion and messy actions. However, as I recall, there was a certain “Orderly Direction” or general social value; everyone was organized around this lowerst common denomenator, regardless or race, religion or color. The times in the 1950’s to 1980’s were horrid in their racial separation, class conflicts, poverty, but there was a common direction.

And, as a recall, at base, the directions was maintenance of “Separation of Governmental Powers, Check and Balances”.

Historically, WWI and WWII were far more threatening, somber times that any post 9/11 events. The difference however, was that the Governmental Powers were limited, and we had Walter Cronkite’s and other admirable ones commenting and creating the necessary communal meetings around the fireplace every evening to tell the news, stories of the day.

Now everyone has “Own Person”, labels. Now everyone has internet and Blog sites and Websites, the ‘voting” is a click, the goal is to accrue the most clicks. That is nice, but not the point. The goal is to communicate, debate, formulate and activate. That is not a click, that is reading and writing. Now we are a Global Village of 10 billion people, all with no Political Power because we are passive. Passive is watching the TV (research proves the brain shifts down to the lowest neurological activity level when a person watched the TV) or clicking on web sites.

We have become a giant Pachinko Parlor. Watching and Clicking is gambling, and gambling is the one game that least favors the player, as the House always wins.

Why?

No one told us the rules.

Why”

Because the Political Elite wishes to maintain it’s power and is not going to tell us how they operate, or by what rules they operate, or the data and trends that indicated what they need to do to operate.

However, I have told you how they operate, why, and what they are doing.

Are there any similarities to Obama and Bush?

Saturday, April 5th, 2008
gambling legislation
John Gite asked:


They both are supported by energy companies (Bush/Enron) and (Obama/Excelon) in their campaigns.

They both have major contributors that are oil company execs.

They both are have pushed legislation as governor and senator favoring Insurance and Drug companies.

Republicans consider Bush too far to the right and democrats consider Obama too far to the left.

Both were up against candidates that known for big causes: Gore for environment and Hillary for healthcare.

Both had controversial pastors that they had to shake off in order to help their campaigns.

Both have affiliations with Islamic states and organizations; (Bush/Saudi Arabia) and (Obama/Hamas and Lybia).

Both have white house policies written by corporate execs.

Both have or look to win their election/nomination by disenfranchising Florida.

So how more similar will Obama be to Bush?

We want 4 to 8 more years to gamble on that?

If they’re so concerned about unemployment, wouldnt it be easier just to not add foreign workers, rather than looting the savings of workers ot bailout gambling bigshots?

Isnt this just war on the middle class?

House Judiciary Com. to Vote Today on Foreign-Worker Bills
Updated Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 10:00 AM

Public Notice for Markup Given in Dead of Night Yesterday

The House Judiciary Committee will take up two foreign-worker bills today: H.R. 5882, which would add an additional 550,000 permanent green cards; and H.R. 5924, which would add 20,000 additional foreign nurses per year for three years (plus their families). Please contact your U.S. Representative through the Capitol Switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask him/her to do everything possible to stop the passage of these bills. The Committee waited until late last night to give notice for the markup, presumably in an effort to avoid public scrutiny.

H.R. 5882 – “Recapturing Unused Employer-Sponsored Visas”
This legislation is similar to the measure that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is using to hijack debate on E-Verify reauthorization in the Senate. The bill’s sponsor, Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif), claims it would “recapture unused employer-sponsored visas” from as far back as 1991 and then add them to the current numerical cap of 140,000 employer-sponsored visas that are available each year. Current law, however, clearly states that any employer-sponsored visas not used in one year are allocated to the family-preference categories in the following year. That means that there are no “unused” visas from past years to “recapture.”

Online Gambling Prohibition? When did the Republican Party become the nanny for our nation?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Rick asked:


The bill was originally introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Goodlatte and was attached to “must pass” legislation in the Senate by Senator Frist. It was a total sham that gambling on-line was made illegal by attaching it to a piece of must-pass legislation at the last minute.
When did the “conservative” position mean that you prohibit adults from doing what they would like with their own money? Personal responsibility is the entire basis for a conservative philosophy and this legislation flies completely in the face of it. When did the Republican Party become the nanny for the nation?!
I strongly believe that the government should not attempt to prohibit online gambling by adults. Millions are in of favor legalization, regulation and taxation of online gambling by the government of the United States but to prohibit it is not exactly letting us be the Land of the Free is it?
Those in congress who let this pass by should be ashamed of themselves!
The vote did not break down neatly along party lines, as 165 Republicans and 79 Democrats voted for the bill, and 44 Republicans and 114 Democrats voted against it. One independent voted for and one against the measure.
