Bill allows for $150M in grants to sign up illegal immigrants to become citizens

Bill allows for $150M in grants to sign up illegal immigrants to become citizens | Fox News:
"A Washington group is criticizing the Senate immigration bill because it allows for up to $150 million for organizations to advertise citizenship opportunities and to help illegal immigrants sign up to become citizens.
The nonpartisan Center for Immigration Services calls the money “slush funds” and earlier this week cited several concerns -- particularly that the money can go to the same groups that helped craft the legislation and that the spending appears to have no cap or oversight.
“It’s virtually a blank check,”

We can only save ourselves from kidnappers at the NRA

PERRY: We can only save ourselves from kidnappers at the NRA – Aurora Sentinel:
"I have seen the light.
After all these years, I now agree that it’s fruitless to give the benefit of the doubt to people who are so obviously corrupt, so clearly malevolent, so bent on hurting innocent people for their own sick gain.
No more due process in the clear-cut case of insidious terrorism.
When the facts are so clearly before all Americans, for the whole world to see, why bother with this country’s odious and cumbersome system of justice?
Send the guilty monsters directly to Guantanamo Bay for all eternity and let them rot in their own mental squalor.
No, no, no. 
Not the wannabe sick kid who blew up the Boston marathon or the freak that’s mailing ricin-laced letters to the president. 
I’m talking about the real terrorist threat here in America: the National Rifle Association."

Why the Left hates families: MELANIE PHIILLIPS reveals how the selfish sneers of Guardianistas made her see how the Left actively fosters - and revels in - family breakdown... | Mail Online
"To my colleagues, there was virtually no question that the poor were the victims of circumstances rather than being accountable for their own behaviour and that the state was a wholly benign actor in the lives of individuals.
It never occurred to us that there could be another way of looking at the world.
Above all, we knew we were on the side of the angels, while across the barricades hatchet-faced Right-wingers represented the dark forces of human nature and society that we were all so proud to be against. "

The old order is dying. We are living in the age of Farage

The old order is dying. We are living in the age of Farage – Telegraph Blogs:
 "the cheap shot smear techniques which have been used in this election campaign, are straight out of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.
I have seen members of UKIP isolated this way on Twitter.
The Attack Dogs cut off the support network by throwing standard accusations out, other members, frightened to be tarred with the non-existent brush remove themselves from debate. 
The attack dogs have then isolated their target.
The attackers go after people and not the party; people hurt faster than institutions. 
Direct, personalised criticism and ridicule works. 
It is cruel, but very effective.
The Big Three political parties are worried about UKIP. If they weren’t they wouldn’t set their attack dogs to savage the aspiring politicians and the yet to mature new boy on the party political scene."

"I'm sorry sir.
We're serious," Benito insisted.
"We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."
"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling,
"I fucking skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza.
Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some fucking pizza, okay."
"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. 
"Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. 
At least that way you're walking. 
You know, burning calories."
(Yes, it's a spoof)
