Illegal Protest

A very appropriate video (below) for our most patriotic holiday. Does anyone remember what July 4th actually stands for I wonder? It seems most associate it with fireworks and family barbecues and vacations and the original reason for July 4th has been superseded by the advertising whores of this country. How sad…

Some facts about where our July 4th holiday originated from Wikipedia:

During the American Revolution, the legal separation from Great Britain occured on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia.^[1] After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a committee with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.^[2]

Adams’s prediction was off by two days. From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4, the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence, rather than on July 2, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress.^[3]

One of the most enduring myths about Independence Day is that Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.^[4] The myth had become so firmly established that, decades after the event and nearing the end of their lives, even the elderly Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had come to believe that they and the other delegates had signed the Declaration on the fourth.^[5] Most delegates actually signed the Declaration on August 2, 1776.^[6]

So… not only is abortion against the moral principles BIG time in the Catholic religion, but it just also happens to have violated state and federal laws because it seems these charities get federal money to the tune of $7 MILLION to place illegal alien children in foster homes(?) until they are reunited with their families. I guess the Catholic Church will start having to rely on illegal aliens for essentially all of their income soon since real Americans should tell the Catholic Church to shove it up their ass in my opinion.

H/T to Kathleen Appell for sending me this story. Unbelievable!

Va. charity probed for helping teen get abortion

By DIONNE WALKER – 3 days ago

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether a Catholic charity violated state and federal law by helping a 16-year-old illegal immigrant who was in the organization’s care get an abortion.

Workers with Commonwealth Catholic Charities helped the girl travel to and from the procedure in January and signed a consent form for the abortion, Joanne Nattrass, the charity’s executive director, said in a statement Thursday. She declined further comment.

Four of the Richmond-based charity’s workers were fired, according to a letter by David Siegel, head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ refugee resettlement program.

The federal department is looking into the charity’s actions and the role played by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The conference receives $7.6 million a year in federal funds to place unaccompanied illegal immigrant children in foster care until they’re reunited with relatives, sponsored, or returned to their homeland. The girl is from Guatemala but was living in Virginia when the abortion took place.

Federal law bans the use of federal money to pay for abortions with exceptions for rape, incest or threats to the life of the mother. Virginia law requires parental consent for an abortion for a girl under 18.

Commonwealth Catholic Charities serves children in the Richmond area as a subcontractor of the bishop’s conference. The conference “appears to have been aware of Commonwealth Catholic Charities’ actions,” Siegel wrote in his April 23 letter to HHS’ deputy inspector general, Timothy Menke.

In a letter nearly a week later, the conference acknowledged some responsibility for the incident and said it has revised agreements with the more than 1,700 Catholic Charities offices nationwide to explicitly bar services that contradict Catholic teachings. Catholics are strongly opposed to abortion, and it isn’t clear why the organization assisted the teen.

“There were significant supervisory errors that resulted in a failure to do everything possible to avoid the abortion,” said the letter, signed by Bishops Francis X. DiLorenzo of the Richmond diocese; John C. Wester of the Salt Lake City diocese; and Michael P. Driscoll of the Boise, Idaho diocese. All have some link to the youth resettlement program.

Federal officials were surprised and disappointed that the Catholic charity used funding to help a minor get an abortion, said Kenneth Wolfe, a spokesman for the Administration for Children and Families in HHS.

“That is at odds with federal policy and is a possible violation of Virginia state law, so we have referred this case to HHS’ inspector general,” Wolfe said in a statement. “Our agency is one that supports human life and we take that responsibility seriously.”

Here we have a national newspaper, apparently showing it’s bias for the elites and the North American Union and the entire globalist agenda that seeks to end the sovereignty of our great nation. They showed this bias by not allowing a letter to the editor from DA King of the Dustin Inman Society. You can read about the details here from DA King’s site, as well as comments by Digger from Digger’s Realm, Jake from Freedom Folks, Mark Krikorian from National Review Online, Peter Brimlow of VDARE

So, since the Washingto Post did not see fit to print DA King’s letter, I reprint it here for the blogosphere and the Interent - which further proves that print media is a dying breed. They hasten their uselessness when they seek to silence those who do not share in their biased opinions. Please keep in mind this bias when reading anything in the Washington Post!

Dear editor,

In his June 1 column, Jim Hoagland writes about forming an “American Union that pools sovereignty”.

“Pooling sovereignty” is merely a transparent way of saying that we should sacrifice ours in order to form a more profitable market- place that happens to be located in the middle of North America and was once a proud, independent nation of laws with defended, defined borders and a common language.

The majority of Americans will oppose this long held nation busting agenda of the elite.

However “déclassé” of us.

Hoagland and the rest of the open borders crowd must be hoping that we will not realize that with the present convoluted interpretation of the 14th amendment to the US constitution (remember that?), we would make American citizens of much of the hemisphere in but one generation. We would soon all merely be “citizens of the continent” and no doubt pledge allegiance to the commerce for which it stands.

Ben Franklin’s challenge in his answer when asked what government was created by the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was ” a Republic …if you can keep it”.

He must have seen Hoagland & Co. coming.

Not on my watch Mr. Hoagland.

DA King is responding to this op-ed article in the Washington Post by Jim Hoagland

I met DA King in Washington DC last year for the Hold Their Feet to the Fire event. He organized the Sunday rally in Lafayette Park that kicked off the week and a big success it was. DA King is a great guy and I am proud to have him as a fellow patriot fighting illegal immigration.

The list I am sure the Washington Post is going by can be found here at the Southern Poverty Law Center - which they call the “Intelligience Project” - what a joke! - which has included patriotic groups of citizens made up of sweet little white haired ladies and branded them a racist hate group. What is telling about this list is that you will notice that absent from their list is any Hispanic racist hate group such as MeCHA or The National Council of La Raza or MS 13. I went through the newest list and it seems they are trying to appear non-biased by included La Voz de Aztlan in their California list but they have a LONG way to go to be fair and balanced with this list. According to the SPLC, whites seem to have the corner on hate groups but that is totally false. There is hate between the races on ALL sides of this story SPLC - not just the white side of the street.

I don’t know what could be any more racist than calling to “kill whites” or “kill the gringo” but yet that does not seem to qualify them to be on the SPLC’s list of racist hate groups. Doesn’t that make you stop and think that maybe the SPLC is not exactly objective at all? Why do so many people take them at their word without even checking how these groups qualified to get on the list? If anyone did check, they would find that simply being patriotic or proud of one’s race is enough to get you on the list. Why also is it that being proud of the white race and supporting others in the white race is considered supremacist, but that same ruler is not applied to being proud of being black or proud of being hispanic as is the case with The National Council of La Raza or the NAACP? Double standard? Indeed!

Let me just add this. The SPLC has a category in their “hate group” list called “Anti-Immigrant”.  This is totally ridiculous because… illegal aliens are NOT IMMIGRANTS. That is an insult to all legal immigrants!! Furthermore, there are plenty of LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who are against illegal aliens as well so to call a group that is against illegal aliens an “anti-immigrant” group is totally bogus and false.

Legal immigrants have made this country a great country but ONLY because the LEGAL immigrants came here and made it their own country, respected our culture, our customs and our laws as well as saluted our flag. The ILLEGAL variety of invaders do none of these things - so to lump them together with IMMIGRANTS is an insult to all legal immigrants!

Here is the mission statement of The Dustin Inman Society headed by DA King:

With a focus on Georgia, The Dustin Inman Society is dedicated to educating the public and our elected officials on the consequences of illegal immigration, our unsecured borders and the breakdown of the rule of law in our Republic.

Named for one of the thousands of Americans who have paid the ultimate price for those unsecured borders, The Dustin Inman Society is a non-partisan coalition of citizens of all ethnicities and from all walks of life who recognize that illegal immigration and homeland security are the most critical issues in America today.

The obvious illegal immigration crisis is not a “federal problem” - it is a national problem - with Georgia having one of the largest and fastest growing populations of illegal aliens in the nation.

It is not un-American to demand equal protection under the law.

Now you tell me why you think the Washington Post would be against a group like The Dustin Inman Society! Pure hogwash is what I say!

Good news for all Pennsylvania residents…. I wonder if Reading, Norristown and Philadelphia will get the memo that their days as “sanctuary cities” are numbered? I urge you to call your PA rep and tell them you support the entire legislation package sponsored by Daryl Metcalfe… It’s ALL good as they say and is a BIG step in the right direction for Pennsylvania.

I live near Norristown and it makes me SICK to see an entire section of the “West End” turned into a Little Mexico. The sign at the bottom of the strip says “Historic Shopping District” but it should say “Historic Puebla Mexico” instead. Several blocks of West Marshall Street are now exclusively Mexican restaurants, Mexican bodegas and even their own little indoor Mall called La Plazita.. A big real estate guy in the area even advertises his rentals IN SPANISH in that area. What is wrong with this picture???? Norristown USED to be Germans and Italians for the most part. Now it is almost 35% Mexican!!! And we are more than 2000 miles from the southern border. If I wanted to live near a border town I’d move to Texas or Arizona for crying out loud.

I have approached the Norristown Town Council and the Montgomery County Commissioners. All of them have felt it is “not their yob” to solve the invasion of illegal aliens into Norristown. One particular councilman, Bill Procyson, makes the point that the Mexicans are “nice” and why should it be his problem to pick out who is here illegally? My point - we shouldn’t have to wonder at all - that is if our GOVERNMENT was DOING ITS JOB.

Now with this legislation package - people like Bill Procyson won’t get to say - “not my yob” and they will be forced to deal with the growing problem of an increasing TAX BURDEN without an increasing TAX BASE from the invasion of illegal aliens into our state and our towns.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

_______________________________________________

Last summer, Digger and I attended a press conference in Philadelphia with many of the people leading this charge. Read about it here on Digger’s Realm

Here is an excerpt from a 2003 article in The Times Herald which tried to answer the question - Why Norristown?

Puebla and Acapulco are the two largest sending cities, officials said. But nobody is sure who was first or why Norristown was chosen. Officials only have assumptions. The most widely accepted beliefs are:
1. Immigrants arrive in larger cities and towns such as Philadelphia and West Chester, naturally sprawling to Norristown.
2. Inexpensive housing in Norristown encourages immigrants to establish lives here, rather than more expensive surrounding townships.
3. The abundance of service jobs in landscaping, retail, restaurants and hotels creates a demand that immigrants supply. Mexican immigrants are most often single men working in these jobs six to nine months of the year, who return to Mexico for the rest of the year.
4. Once immigrants establish homes here, they send for their families and friends, and in turn, these families and friends tell more people, creating a domino effect.
5. Less than 500,000 immigrants each year stay in the country. Though it looks like many immigrants are here, what people mostly see are immigrants in the country using temporary visas.

The journey is not easy.

Some people have visas and other proper documentation to live in the United States, but about half of the Mexican population does not.

“It’s not easy to make that decision - to leave behind everything you know,” said Miguel Dones, president of Conecciones, a social services and economic organization serving the Norristown community.   Officials from the United States and Mexico agree that the reason for the great wave of immigration is money. “The opportunities are on this side of the border,” said Deputy Consul Jacob Prado of the Mexican Consulate of Philadelphia. “Nobody wants to leave their hometown or families. If they come here, it’s because economic opportunities are available in this country.”

There you have it. Remove the ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES for illegal aliens and they will not come here!

More on how the population of Norristown has changed from the same article:

Between 1990 and 2000, Norristown’s Hispanic population jumped nearly 400 percent, with most of the expansion within the last five years.

Nobody is exactly sure why thousands have chosen to live here, but Norristown has the largest population of Hispanics in Montgomery County.

While the Hispanic population increased by nearly 2,500 individuals, the total population of the borough only increased by 500 people.

This means at least 2,000 non-Hispanics moved out of Norristown, while 2,000 Hispanics moved in.

In the early and mid 90’s, Puerto Ricans were the largest Hispanic minority in Norristown, but now Mexicans have taken over that distinction.

The entire reason for controlling immigration and enforcing immigration laws in ANY country is to prevent the cultural hijacking of any part of a country through large numbers of “immigrants” - legal or illegal - to a community. The reasoning behind immigration control is to PRESERVE the cultural identity of our towns and cities. But instead we have allowed the population of Norristown to be INVADED through a 400 PER CENT INCREASE in Hispanics - most of whom are here illegally. I hold the leaders of Norristown fully responsible for allowing this to happen and I whole heartedly support the efforts by Daryl Metcalfe and others at our state government level for leading the charge to turn this tide and reclaim Norristown and other places in Pennsylvania for the native population.
