BloggeRhythms

Democrat flaks continue to misconstrue facts while employing stale rhetoric to cloud issues. Because, no matter how evasive they are on the subject,  the basis of the current immigration problems they’ve created actually boils down to whether they have any regard whatsoever for the laws of the nation or not.
 
In today’s case, Nancy Pelosi visited the Texas-Mexico border on Saturday, suggesting that those crossing should be welcomed and not treated as a problem. 
 
She said, "This crisis that some call a crisis, we have to view as an opportunity. If you believe as we do that every child, every person has a spark of divinity in them, and is therefore worthy of respect -- what we saw in those rooms was [a] dazzling, sparkling, array of God's children, worthy of respect." 
 
She also acknowledged that the surge "does have crisis qualities," but again urged the public to use it as an "opportunity to show who we are as Americans, that we do respect people for their dignity and worth."
 
However, American values, including respect for other’s dignity and worth, have absolutely nothing to do with the illegal immigrant surge. Because this nation either has laws or it doesn’t. And at present, regardless of their plight, those entering illegally should all be turned back.
 
And then, since this is Nancy Pelosi, she couldn’t just voice her opinion and move on. She had to embellish. So she added that she wished she could simply "take home" the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburdened facilities.
 
In view of her comment about taking the illegal kids home, I searched the Web to find out more about her personal situation and  residences, learning that according to Wikipedia:
 
“The first female Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has a net worth of $26.4 million as of June 2012, down roughly $8 million from 2011. Pelosi’s drastic growth, from an initial $21.7 million in 2009, is attributed to stock gains and smart investments. Her husband reported raking in $1 million to $5 million in 2010 from a sale of Apple stocks. The couple also has a commercial property in San Francisco and a home in St. Helena, California, each valued between $5 million and $25 million. She also has a stake in some valuable residential real estate in Sacramento. All rank-and-file members of Congress received salaries of $174,000 last year.”
 
So, apparently, Ms. Pelosi has not only the money to help many of the illegals she cherishes but also plenty of property to house them, as well. Therefore, instead of standing on the border telling others to tend to those crossing over, she ought to prove her commitment by putting her money where her mouth is and taking a few thousand, or more, home with her. 
 
On the same subject, but far more shameful, Fox News.com reports that the incumbent, “reportedly plans to seek more than $2 billion to help respond to the crossings, and seek "fast track" authority for the Department of Homeland Security to more quickly screen and deport children crossing the border illegally.”
 
Therefore, in this case, the incumbent who’s done absolutely nothing in response to citizens pleas, or even those of several governors, to shore up border fencing and protection, is now requesting $2 billion of taxpayer’s money to overcome huge errors he's made for years all alone. And if that isn’t evidence of incompetence compounded by arrogance, I don't know what is. 
 
Then, for today’s Clinton update, www.businessinsider.com reports that “An aide to Clinton pushed back against the "uproar" with emails to Business Insider late Friday about “a few points" about her speaking engagements including the fact the fee from UNLV went to the charitable Clinton Foundation and the "dozens" of speeches Clinton has made for free. 
 
The aide went on, “There was a lot of confusion about who received the payment from UNLV. That money went to the Clinton Foundation, which as you know does enormously important work to save the lives of AIDS patients in Africa, fight childhood obesity in the United States, address climate change, and much more. The fees from more than a dozen of her speeches have gone to fund the Clinton Foundation’s work around the world," the aide wrote, underlining the final sentence for emphasis. 
 
Thus, the implication here is that Bill’s wife should be left alone because the money’s going to their charity, not her directly. Which caused me to look up that organization’s worth, to find that as of 2011: Total Revenue was $57,147,869 and Net Assets were $187,628,983.
 
Therefore, I guess, for these multi-millionaires a chump-change quarter of a million is only a drop in their huge bucket of bucks and nothing for others to get excited about.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
