I Call BS!

The South was attacking from the north, and the North was defending from the South, and the battle was in its third day when General Lee ordered Longstreet to send General Pettigrew’s, General Trimble’s and General Pickett’s brigades into the Union center.

Approximately 12,500 men in nine infantry brigades advanced over open fields for three quarters of a mile under heavy Union artillery and rifle fire. Although some Confederates were able to breach the low stone wall that shielded many of the Union defenders, they could not maintain their hold and were repulsed with over 50% casualties, a decisive defeat that ended the three-day battle and Lee’s campaign into Pennsylvania.

When asked, years afterward, why his charge at Gettysburg failed, General Pickett said: “I’ve always thought the Yankees had something to do with it.” … Wikipedia

You DO recall reading of this, don’t you Mr Obama? 12,500 men waiting out their own artillery barrage against the Union lines, then bravely marching out over the more than a mile of flat land leading up to the Union’s lines… These were Americans -Confederate Americans, granted- who were fighting with all they could bring to bear, in order to win the right to have THEIR States be left alone to carry on enslaving other humans, mostly blacks, for commercial and racist purposes.

Before the nine brigades neared the Union lines, more than 20 Union batteries -unharmed by the Rebel barrage- opened fire at 400 yards range, with explosive shot and shell, ripping holes in the lines of advancing white men. At about 300 meters, the left of the line was getting hit with canister, cannon shot that sent out a 1-meter cloud of lead marbles, Obama, so that when that fast-moving cloud hit the Rebels, 3 or 4 men disappeared completely in a blast of bloody mist, and several more were injured.

Over 1,600 artillery shells were fired into the Confederate brigades that day, this day, years ago… the left of the line never got much closer to victory than several hundred meters (the strong fence at the Emmitsburg road) but the center of the line made it to The Angle (in the Union’s defensive position) and there engaged the Union in ferocious, hand-to-hand, bayonet-in-the-gut, muzzle in the face fighting…

Until it became apparent to the Rebels that the Boys in Blue HAD been reinforced (8th Ohio and 72 Pennsylvania) and apparent that they had lost half their number AND there would be NO reinforcements coming…

Why is this important, you ask? Well, Mr Obama, those fierce, determined, brave and courageous white men REALLY WANTED TO WIN, for “States’ Rights” and for slavery and for their own regimental colors and for honor…

But the Union ALSO wanted to win, and despite losses and despite the courage of the men attacking, the white men DEFENDING the Union WON the field, and history later marked July 3, 1863 as the high-water mark of the Confederacy.

The Union HAD to defeat the Confederacy in order to restore the Union, and the Confederacy had only to NOT LOSE in order to win, but the forces fighting for the principles of unity, harmony and the oneness of humankind WON the day. Slavery in America was defeated, although some Arabs around the world would continue it legally until the late 20th century and illicitly to this day.

That war, Mr Obama, was a defining moment in America’s life. The grand American experiment stumbled through the horror and pain of fighting itself, 3 million 5 hundred thousand uniformed combatants, and 600,000 deaths, Obama.

Like Jesus, they died for YOUR freedom. Honor them, and honor America in your efforts to lead America now, in THIS time of war.

Dear Hussein Obama,
In America, the one nation in the world welded into unity by its bloody march through the hell-fire of the American Civil War, there is widespread knowledge of and respect for America’s unity in diversity. Its a wonder, a miracle, an oddity that catches attention in all other nations: no matter WHO you are, no matter WHAT race you are, when you walk down off the airplane or ship or bus that brought you to America, YOU ARE American… unless and until YOU declare yourself otherwise, right Mr Obama?

So HOW can it be of benefit to anyone, black or white or brown or green, to sing a ‘Black National Anthem‘ after agreeing to use the time and microphone and audience to sing “The National Anthem”?

Do YOU, Mr Obama, encourage or allow or tacitly agree with this? How can it possibly help anyone, black OR white?

What next, Mr Obama? Singing the Vietnamese-American’s “National” anthem? How about the Moldavian Midgets’ Metropolitan Anthem? You want to stand not-saluting the American flag while someone sings the Internationale Communist Workers’ song?

Because once we pretend that its somehow all right to lift up this race or that race above AMERICA, we’re all singing the “Let’s Spit on the Sacrifices of Our Forebears” Blues, aren’t we, Mr Obama?

And THAT SONG is in the key of dis-harmony, a slow dirge of pain and degradation!

Dear Hussein Obama,
As you know from your studies of America and American history, the Democratic Party and American Democrats during the Civil War were calling for ‘peace at any price’, and were acting generally discourteously and often treasonously.

The American Civil War may have begun over ‘States’ Rights’ (a state’s right to continue ENSLAVING humans, mostly black humans), but it developed into a war ON slavery, institutional, theoretical and practical. Democrats demanding ‘peace’ at any price were pressing for debasement, defeat and continued slavery.

You are in a position today to take a principled stand FOR freedom, FOR responsible enlightenment and FOR personal rights here in America and for men and women enslaved by religious zealots in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

You can lead great numbers of American Democrats to support continued victories and continued positive developments in Iraq. You can build on the sacrifices and achievements that have come from America’s efforts in the Middle East.

You can lead Democrats to change from self-victimizing, negative racists to America-loving, freedom-supporting rationalists, intent on securing for others the freedoms which we in America enjoy daily.

Surely THIS would be worthy of you, and worthy of the Americans who hope for such change? Don’t repeat the scurrilous, treasonous efforts of Democrats in that earlier conflict… help Americans change to courageous, socialism-rejecting and cooperative individuals, confident in our ability to meet the challenges facing us, with strength, wisdom and courtesy.

You can change, hopefully, Mr Obama.

An effort by San Francisco to shield eight young Honduran crack dealers from federal immigration officials backfired when the youths escaped from Southern California group homes within days of their arrival, officials said Monday.
The walkaways are the latest in a string of embarrassments for city officials who are protecting illegal-immigrant drug dealers from federal authorities and possible deportation because of San Francisco’s 1989 declaration that the city is a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.

Until recently, San Francisco flew juvenile illegal immigrants convicted of drug crimes to their home countries rather than cooperate with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a practice that drew national attention when The Chronicle reported it Sunday.

When federal law enforcement authorities demanded that San Francisco halt the flights and began a criminal investigation, the city decided to house some of the dealers in long-term youth rehabilitation centers. Some of those centers are run by a nonprofitcompany called Silverlake Youth Services in mountain towns southeast of San Bernardino.

Eight Honduran juveniles who had been convicted of dealing drugs in San Francisco were sent within the past few weeks to the company’s group homes, where one month’s placement costs $7,000 per youth - an expense borne by San Francisco taxpayers. (emphasis added)

What more needs to be said?

Will Smith says it here, but we’ve got the quote below.

WILL SMITH: You know I just, I just came back from Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris and it’s the first, I’ve been there quite a few times in the past five to 10 years. And it just hasn’t been a good thing to be American. And this is the first time, since Barack has gotten the nomination, that it, it was a good thing.

Granted, its clumsy, and CAN be interpreted as HE FEELS GOOD for the first time in 5-10 years…

But a closer look at the Movie Wunderkind’s statement, while promoting Hancock, notices all the ‘it’s…

Will noticed that receptions for him in Moscow, Berlin, London and Paris were WARM AND POSITIVE… because of THEIR infatuation with Obama, not Smith’s.

No BS here… watch Hancock, for fun.

Think about this story next time you are tempted to call someone who is pro-border enforcement “anti-immigrant:”

The feds returned to Fair Haven a year after rounding up immigrants for deportation — but this time to save undocumented Ecuadorians allegedly working in slave-like conditions at a well-known Italian bakery.

Rather than face deportation, the six Ecuadorians are being protected in hiding. They filed a lawsuit this month against the bakery’s owners.

The complaint centers around Rocco’s Bakery on Ferry Street (pictured), where the family of Ecuadorians was working. They claim the owners failed to pay them for forced overtime, kept them trapped in apartments above the bakery, regularly threatened them, and sexually harassed the women.

The Ecuadorian family says Tony DiBenedetto beckoned them to the U.S. with the promise of labor, then kept them under a form of modern slavery, forcing them to work long hours below minimum wage and demanding sexual favors from the women in exchange for rent money. They workers say they kept quiet because they were told they would be fired, evicted and deported if they told anyone of their situation.

The suit was filed on behalf of Mercedes and her daughter, as well as Mercedes’ sister Maria, her husband Nestor and their two children [last names withheld]. The suit details deplorable working conditions behind the scenes at the prim pastry shop, famous for its cannoli and cakes. It describes conditions where women and children were trafficked to the U.S., forced to haul bags of flour during 12-hour days without bathroom breaks; conditions where women endured sexual harassment and assault while on the job — all under fear of punishment if they spoke up.

“Whatever we think about the issue of illegal immigration, we can all agree that no one should be forced to work in fear of physical harm or sexual assault or in fear that they will be punished if they complain about working conditions,” wrote Jennifer Mellon, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, in a press statement.

If these allegations are true, this highlights the other side of the illegal immigrant issue - U.S. immigration laws exist, not just to protect U.S. citizens and legal immigrants, but to protect illegal immigrants from such exploitation.
