Fingerprinting Nightmares!!

This is really just too annoying!!

I have been going for my contractors license now for a few months. I've done hours and hours of school, studying, on-line testing, classroom testing, crash courses, etc... I'm ready to go! My final test is coming up and I will be a certified and registered contractor with a "B" license. (General Contractor)It's all good.

Well, one of the requirements for the State licensing is that you have to submit a full set of Live Scan fingerprints prior to your final exam. Okay, no problem right? I mean if you're not a criminal and you have nothing to hide then WTF??? No problem. WELL YOU'D THINK NOT!!!

So here I am, a 48 year old caucasian woman. I have never been arrested. I have never been in jail for anything what so ever. I'm a good citizen that works hard and makes an honest living. Never been on welfare, I have never have had any type of assistance of any kind from anyone or any organization. I am a credit to society.

Nothing to fear!

So I go in for my scheduled "Live Scan" fingerprinting. Now with Live Scan there is no ink or mess involved. Your fingers are rolled on a clean screen and the computer records everything. It's clean, it's fast and it's very accurate.

You cannot get your license these days without the fingerprinting. So there I am at the place, and the girl starts rolling my prints. As each print comes up on screen she keeps muttering things like, "Oh no", "Not good", "Oh, this is bad."

Finally, I'm like..."Hey, HELLO... Is something the matter?"

"Well, actually, yes." She replies. "Do you rodeo or work with horses at all?"

"Uhhh, yeah... I've had horses all my life. Is there a problem?" I'm getting a bit worried now.

"Yes, yes, I've seen this a few times. You are missing parts of half your fingerprints." She says it so non-chalantly I think that it's a joke.

"Ha, ha.." I laugh. "No really, what's the matter?"

"No really, you ARE missing parts of half your fingerprints and the FBI takes this very seriously." She looks strangely scared like she's afraid she'll get blamed for the missing prints on my fingers.

"It's very common with people who have worked with livestock or horses. You know, cuts, scrapes and rope burns.... they can totally destroy your fingerprints." She states very matter-of-factly.

"Okay, well so, what's the big deal... it's not like I murdered someone and burned them off. I came by the defect honestly." I shrug off her concern.

"No, no... you don't understand, you will not be allowed to get your license until your prints are examined by an FBI fingerprinting specialist, which can take up to 6 months to get scheduled." She stammers, all the while looking at me like I'm going to smack her or something.

Ohhhhhh noooo, now I AM getting mad!!! I try to control my anger and smile at her. "Are you telling me that even if I pass this test with flying colors, I will be denied my license until at which time some fat-ass FBI agent determines that I did not deliberately remove the prints off the tips of my fingers?" I am in total disbelief. I can not believe what she is implying.

"Basically what will happen is that the FBI will send you a fingerscan rejection letter stating your prints are not valid." She sounds like she is reading a teleprompter or a very well rehearsed paragraph from a finger scan instruction manuel. "After the first rejection notice you will be notified to come in and take your prints again. They will then send you a second rejection notice..."

"Whoaaa Nelly, wait a minute." I interject.... "You mean I'm going to get rejected TWICE?"

"Well yes." She explains. "They have to make sure it's not my error so you will be requested to scan again. After your second rejection, cause I've never made a mistake, I can tell you, you WILL get a second rejection... Well after the second rejection they will reschedule you within 6 months to be examined by a specialist to determine another means of positively identifying you."

And I'm thinking...Like what the HELL ever happened to identifying a person BY THEIR FREAKIN DRIVERS LICENSE & PHOTO!!!!

"Oh but don't worry," she adds "They can't by law deny your license, but it might take up to 6 months to get it validated another way."

"Yeah, whatever. I'm outta here. I've got a test to study for on Monday" And off I go, my defective fingerprints in hand...

So now, I await confirmation from the FBI that my fingerprints are 'not valid', even though I know for sure that they are mine and that I have never traded them with anyone. WTF?!?

What's this world coming to?? Why aren't you F'in beaurocrats out arresting REAL CRIMINALS instead of harrassing hard working American citizens on account of our fingerprints not being up to snuff?? WTF??

The Scurge of the horseshow world (JMHO)

Pictured below is a classically beautiful and natural Tennessee Walking Horse, doing his inherent gait, the Running Walk. This is how THEY ORIGINALLY LOOKED! STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

The Tennessee Walking Horse is a beautiful, wonderful tempered, ultra smooth breed of riding horse. His signature gait, the running walk, has been bred into him for over a hundred years. It is such a smooth ride that it gives the feel of gliding over water when you ride a good one. Absolutely no bounce!

Pictured here is a classic example of a beautiful and NATURALLY GAITED Tennessee Walking Horse. He's glorious to look at. A horse anyone would be proud to be seen on. Quite simply, he is stunning! Look at how nice the rider looks. He is totally relaxed. The horse is relaxed and gaiting freely. He has a happy, quiet look in his eye. His conformation is beautiuful and he looks to be the epitome of a pleasure horse. A horse anyone would love to have as a riding animal. His back is rounded and his overstride is very evident. He is graceful and full of style. His abundant action in the front is natural. He is not heavily padded. There are NO CHAINS!



So why then, would a bunch of morons and lazy ass trainers/breeders want to change this wonderful and graceful breed of horse into what has become known as the horseshow world's biggest FREAK SHOW?? The BIG LICK Tennessee Walking Horse...WHAT A BAD JOKE!!

Take a look at the poor horse shown below. This is the monstrosity known as the BIG LICK show horse (Performance Horse in TWH lingo).

So let's analyze this picture. First of all the horse shown here looks to be in total pain and extremely agitated. Whenever you see the "reds" of a horses eye when he is performing it is a sure sign of pain or agitation. He is obviously stressed, his nostrils are flared and he is heavily lathered in sweat. Now I've seen these classes in the shows. They last all of about 10 minutes. There is no way in HELL that this horse should be sweating so profusely after just ten minutes of work. NO WAY!

Next take a look at the MUTANT NINJA TURTLE that is trying to pass himself as a trainer/rider on the back of this poor horse. This has got to be the sorry-ass worst equitation I have ever seen. This guy looks like a tortoise trying to ride a horse. And what's with those hideous toes pointing down? Whatever happened to classic Saddleseat equitation? This is an abomination of a very classic style of riding.

Now let's direct our eyes away from the NINJA TURTLE and back to the poor horse. Why the HELL would anyone nail those monstrous blocks onto a horses front feet?? WHY?? Also, look how his poor heels have been sheared off and his toes grown out to what looks like an insanely long length and then BANDED onto the freaky blocks (Called 'Stacks') with a tight band of STEEL! One clip of his hind feet and he shears off the blocks and half of his front foot with it, most likely crippling him for life.

Wait it gets even better!! Not only is the poor horse being tortured this way in the name of the "Showring" but to add insult to injury, he's got heavy chains wrapped around his front pasterns that bang his already sore front legs with each and every step!

And now let's check out those cannon bones!! What's with all that damaged and curly hair on his legs? (Click on the picture for an enlarged close-up showing the follicular damage to this horses leg hair) They will tell you that the curly hair is from wrapping their front legs for support. Uh...HELLO..... I've had show horses all my life, and I too have wrapped most of their legs for support at shows, when being trailered, etc... and I have NEVER had one grow curly hair on their legs from being wrapped. NEVER! Ask any vet what causes the curly hair and they will tell you... damage to the hair follicles from APPLIED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES. Now without mentioning anything in particular, I think you all can figure out what that means.

So what is the attraction here? I don't get it. The BIG LICK Tennessee Walking Show Horse is nothing more than a man made FREAK SHOW on four legs. There is nothing natural or humane about this horse.

So ask any BIG LICK trainer why they do this and they all say the exact same thing. "It enhances the gait and it does not hurt them."

You know what I say?? BULLSHIT!! The reason they pick their poor feet up so high is because they are IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN or are so artificially off balance because of their elevated front ends, they have no other choice than to pick their feet up higher than is natural or normal.

What they don't want to tell you is that high leg action can be bred for inherently and can be a natural way of going for many horses. Look at the Peruvian Paso below.

This is 100% NATURAL. This horse is BAREFOOT!! He has NO CHEMICALLY ALTERED HAIR GROWTH ON HIS LEGS. The reds of his eyes do not show. HE IS NOT LATHERED AND SOAKING WET WITH SWEAT. And gosh...lookie here... He has Beautiful flashy action. A gait that was bred into him, NOT artificially created. IT CAN BE DONE!!


And guess what?? Their classes can last as long as an HOUR vs. 10 minutes for the BIG LICK FREAK SHOW.... Hello people!!! It's called CONDITIONING!! You actually have to RIDE your horses to get it.


However, to breed for this type of NATURALLY FLASHY and SMOOTH gait takes time, It takes patience and it takes years and years of selective breeding, something that most of the BIG LICK Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders don't want to take. Oh..no... why do it the hard way, that takes knowledge and time, Let's just torture them and get the results we want quicker.

You people and your relentless torture of these animals make me sick.

The best thing you people could do for your breed would be to follow the example of the Peruvian Paso Horse World. SHOW YOUR HORSES BAREFOOT or with a NORMAL SHOE and TRY JUDGING THEM ON THEIR INHERENT QUALITIES instead of their UGLY MAN MADE ONES!!

Take down the FRICKIN birdfeeder already!!!

Ya gotta love Maxine!

I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on my back porch and filled It with seed. What a beauty of A bird feeder it is, I thought as I filled it Lovingly with seed.

Within a Week we had hundreds of birds Taking advantage of the Continuous flow of free and Easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table ... Everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud..

They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be..... quiet, serene, and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see. Our government gives out Free food, subsidized housing, Free medical care, and free Education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the Tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for Free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and People waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government To take down the bird Feeder.!!!

If you agree, pass it on; if not, Continue cleaning up the poop, you are probably part of the problem!

WAY TO GO SHERIFF JOE!!!

Sheriff Joe for President!!!

Arizona's tax dollars are at work for them!

Way to go Sheriff Joe!!!

… SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!

You all remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb.

Well.........
SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!
Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe!

Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.
The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows.

The best part? His budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and current on all shots, in great healt h, and even had a microchip inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.

The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.

I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand.

He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat and fertilizer. It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery where prisoners w ork, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.
Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border. He's kind of a 'Git-R Dun' kind of Sheriff.

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO:
HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the 'Tent City Jail':

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but 'G' movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a Federal court order that required cable TV For jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again and only let in the Disney Channel and the Weather Channel.

When asked why the Weather Channel, he replied, "So they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value. When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This isn't the Ritz/Carlton......If you don't like it, don't come back.'

More On The Arizona Sheriff:
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press Reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their

PINK SOCKS.

'It feels like we are in a furnace,' said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for one year. 'It's inhumane.'

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths!'

Way To Go, Sheriff!

Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers' money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

If you agree, pass this on. If not, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

This was emailed to me by a friend in Mississippi. I don't know who originally wrote it but it is classic!!

Discount Drug Store Lazy Ass Managers

This is to all you LAZY-ASS Managers that manage the Rite-Aid and Walgreens stores... More specifically the Rite-Aid and Walgreens that are located in SUN CITY, CA.

The service in these two stores SUCKS big-time! The employees that are working in the Sun City Walgreens barely speak English and the ones working in the Sun City Rite-Aid just flat out refuse to help at all!

So I've got an extra $40. this week to spend on myself! Yes, that's right...we budget ourselves so strictly in this economy (as everyone else should) that having an extra $40. to spend is a BIG DEAL to me!

So I decide that with my $40. I will use it to by myself a luxury item, a bottle of perfume (as I'm totally out and have NONE)!

I go to Rite-Aid first. I walk in and go over to the locked perfume cabinets and try and peer in. There's a Mexican girl there moving boxes around and she's stacking them up against the GLASS perfume cabinet blocking my view of the perfume bottles more and more with each box.

"Excuse me miss" I say.. "I'd like to look at the perfume please."

She looks at me like she's really being put out and says "I'll have to go and get a manager, I don't have a set of keys."

"Okay, I'll wait here for you. I'd like to get a bottle of Obsession." I answer politely. She half-ass rolls her eyes at me and says "I'll be right back."

5 full minutes go by and no sales girl and no keys. I'm annoyed now. I walk up to the cashier and explain that I want to buy some perfume and that the sales girl who had no keys went to find a manager with keys and has not returned. The cashier looks at me like I'm a dimwit and says "Well, I'll try and call the manager for you, I can't leave my register. Go back and wait by the perfume cabinets and she'll be right there to open them up for you."

Okay, whatever... I wander back to the perfume cabinets to await the manager with keys. Lo and behold there is the same Mexican sales girl back at the perfume cabinets and now stacking up MORE BOXES to further block my view!

"Where's the manager?" I ask, thoroughly annoyed.

"She's on her way, she'll be here in a minute." She replies.

"Well, do you think you can STOP stacking up the boxes until she gets here so I can see what it is I want to purchase?" I'm trying to be cool but I just want to smack her in her fat, over-made up face.

"You said you wanted Obsession, the Obsession is right there, my boxes aren't blocking it." She's so annoying me now.

I mean, I'm the customer and I'M RIGHT!! Maybe I've changed my mind and want something different now. Maybe I want a second bottle of something else, maybe I want to wring your stupid neck! Of course, I can't say these things, I HAVE to be nice, no?

"You know what, just forget it, I'll go to Walgreens instead!" I snarl. At that time up comes the manager with her keys in hand and says "Hello, how can I help you today?"

Now I'm PISSED!!

"Guess what??? You CAN'T help me!! I've been here for 10 minutes now and all's I wanted to do was buy a bottle of perfume. Your sales girl is lousy, your management, which is you is lousy and quite frankly I think the Rite Aid here SUCKS." I'm thoroughly enjoying bitching her out and hoping I'll get the stupid sales girl in some sort of trouble. "I'm taking my business to Walgreens instead."

I leave and go to the Walgreens one parking lot over.

Wouldn't you know it...same shitty service! I go straight to the cosmetics counter and again no one shows up. I go to the cashier and this time it's an oriental lady. "I'd like to buy some perfume." I state.

"Okai, I be right dere." She replies with her thick chinese accent.

I don't get it, why is it that in an ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY, we cannot find anybody that speaks English without some foreign butchered version?

Again, close to 5 minutes go by and nobody shows up at the perfume counter. I spot a girl with a Walgreens smock on and hurriedly go up to her and as she attempts to brush past me I state.. "Hi, I want to buy some perfume and the cashier said she'd be right here but I've been waiting now for 5 minutes. Do you think you could help me?"

"Oh, sorry, but I'm just getting off on my break right now but I'll send someone over." She says as she all but runs past me.

Whatever happened to good ol American service? There's a reason Rite-Aid and Walgreens are so cheap. They all hire inadequate, inept, moron foreigners to do the work of English speaking Americans because they will work for a ton less money.

Of course, no-one shows up and once again I leave the store empty handed.

Well CHECK IT OUT RITE-AID & WALGREENS!! I'm taking my money and spending it at Macy's or Gottschalks or JC Penney's instead! I may pay a bit more at these stores but at least they understand the meaning of SERVICE and at least they require their employees to have perfect English speaking abilities. The small bit of money I would have saved at these discount drug stores is not worth the wait it takes to get someone to help you out and certainly not worth the confusion of having to speak with someone that CAN'T SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE!!

I'm glad Rite-Aid and Walgreens make so much money that they don't have to treat their American patrons with any respect or grant us any service.

Walgreens and Rite-Aid, you both can go to hell. From now on I will do nothing but tell the world about what a poorly run and poorly managed store you both are.

You Gotta LOVE Robin Williams!!

Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says, 'I love New York ' in Arabic.

You gotta love Robin Williams... Even if he's nuts!

Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin Williams' plan... (Hard to argue with this logic!)

'I see a lot of people yelling for peace, but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.'

AND A GOOD PLAN IT IS!

1) 'The US will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East, and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
(My personal opinion is that the Border Patrol agents should get paid a bounty of $100.00 per head for those they shoot crossing over our border)

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days, the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days, unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in.. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school.. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH... learn it... or LEAVE....

Now, isn't that a winner of a plan? 'The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?' If you agree with the above, forward it to friends... If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it!!

CHEAP TOMATOES!

Cheap Tomatoes THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.

CHEAP TOMATOES?

From a California school teacher - - - "As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:

I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.

Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools. Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, --a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.

( OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK )

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight.

(Can you say TORTILLAS, RICE & BEANS?)


About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class with out the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.

(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America .

(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas", whores, and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements ? To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

We need to wake up. Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc.

For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes. It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate , and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about " political correctness" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.

CHEAP LABOR?

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs. But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a Myth , a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He requires bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. (And more likely than not he drives a VERY expensive HUMMER or SUV of some sort that YOUR tax dollars helped him buy!)

Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare . All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense . He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!

Wake up people! THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO EITHER PARTY. AND, WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'

I do not know the name of the person that wrote this but I'll tell you what....THEY ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!! If we want things to change we MUST START VOTING REPUBLICAN! The democrats are spending this country into oblivion!

TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!

Change - Read it and pass it on!

My good friend Stephanie sent me this and I thought it very worthy of posting on my blog. Thanks Steph! Everyone PASS IT ON!

I thought you all would enjoy it. She's a good Republican!

When are we as Americans going to say "ENOUGH!"? Obama has broken every campaign promise he made. Are we all such lemmings that we are just forever going to go along with the insidious lies? Wake up people!!! We are losing America as we know it and you all are too dumb or too lazy too try and stop this insanity! The only thing that is CHANGING are our RIGHTS AS AMERICANS and WE ARE LOSING THEM FAST!

CHANGE?......POLITICIANS…Change?

That, in truth, is what they have been giving us for a long time…...

We used to have a strong dollar .. Politicians changed that.



Marriage used to be sacred .. Politicians are changing that.

We used to be respected around the world ... Politicians changed that.

We used to have a strong manufacturing economy ... Politicians changed that.

We used to have lower tax structures ... Politicians changed that.

We used to enjoy more freedoms ... Politicians changed that.

We used to be a large exporter of American made goods ... Politicians changed that.

We used to teach patriotism in schools ... Politicians changed that.

We used to educate children in schools ... Politicians changed that.

We used to enforce LEGAL citizenship ... Politicians changed that.

We used to have affordable food & gas prices ... Politicians changed that, too....

And one could go on and on with this list…………….

What hasn't been changed?

Politicians are still promising change, if you will elect them.

When is America going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once were and where we have come and say, enough is enough?

The trouble is, America 's youthful voters today don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty years ago. They see the world as if it has always existed, as it is now.

When will we wake up?

Tomorrow may be too late. When will America realize ...

‘Professional’ Politicians ARE what is wrong with America !

What is needed is for the constitution to be amended to limit all Senators and Representatives to TWO terms in office just like the president.

Oh, by the way, no big pension either, social security just like the rest of us. Being a politician shouldn't be a person’s life work but rather a call to service, then back to being an honest, hard working citizen.

PASS THIS ONE AROUND FOR A CHANGE .
