Richard Falknor at Blue Ridge Forum speaks of Bush’s legacy. Personally, I will remember (and curse) him for his betrayal of America. But in his many egregious perfidies, he is only one in a succession of leaders who have brought this country to it’s present angle of descent. It matters little if that descent is rapid (Obama) or slow (McCain). The forces working against America are legion and the momentum they have achieved, the powers that they have harnessed, are being met with no comparable opposing force.

Blue Ridge Forum will be tracking the fiscal and human costs to America of president Bush’s “legacy” efforts - - - in security as well as domestic matters.

The unstated assumption of these legacy initiatives must be - - - that most Americans in the future will share (at the very least) a center-left vision of the world as well as a soft multiculturalist perspective; that future writers will be kind to the Bush record after this president leaves office when partisan passions have cooled; and that America’s official chroniclers will then appreciate the president’s many legacies from his second term. Or so the reasoning of the White House would seem to go.

It is almost as if Bush is punting this country for Obama’s team to take it all the way over the edge.
PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), Bush’s bloated legislation that will bleed Americans in excess of 50 billion dollars, is a small part of his legacy, and his treachery.

“The Administration notes that the bill would authorize $50 billion for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria over five years—an amount significantly above the Administration’s $30 billion proposal.”

Most are aware of Bush’s obsession with squandering good treasure on AIDS in Africa. Few know about the blight of refugees pouring into this country under the aegis Bush’s beneficence, nor the incredible and mounting burdens those refugees have already, and will continue imposing on America.

Refugee resettlement in America is little mentioned in the press, per their usual self-imposed PC proscriptions. Thousands and thousands of African, primarily muslim, refugees have been pouring into America and now, due to the efforts of militant homosexual activists, we will now be importing refugees diagnosed as HIV positive. And you will be paying for their treatment.

Now comes a group called “Immigration Equality” that describes itself as follows:

Immigration Equality is a national organization fighting for equality under U.S. immigration law for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and HIV-positive individuals. Founded in 1994 as the Lesbian and Gay Immigration Rights Task Force, we have grown to a membership of 10,000 people in cities all over the country. ….

Immigration Equality helps Gays and Lesbians seek asylum in the US…. I guess their work must be stepped up in recent times as the internet is full of photos of gay men being hanged in Islamic countries like Iran.

Anyway here is what they are telling their members what the next step is to make sure the ban removal is fully implemented.
Update on Law lifting ban to allow HIV-positive immigrants to enter US

To hell with drilling, infrastructure, missile defense and bolstering our economy. Let’s just cure the whole freaking planet of AIDS.

S.2731 goes to the Senate floor on Monday and is expected to be signed into law by September because it is supported by the Bush Administration …

Here is the kicker (if $50 billion of our tax dollars wasn’t already) from the Congressional Budget Office:

….enacting S. 2731 would ……allow immigrants with HIV/AIDS to enter the United States. CBO estimates that providing certain benefits to those immigrants and their children would increase direct spending by less than $500,000 in 2010 and by $83 million over the 2010-2018 period.

Refugees are already coming here with HIV (and TB for that matter) despite the ban on foreigners with the disease from traveling or immigrating to the US. This bill would allow all immigrants to enter the US with HIV and be treated at taxpayer expense. I don’t think it takes a genius to see how this opens the door wide to more immigrants (including illegal immigrants) who will rush the gates and become dependent on our already overburdened health care system.

It’s a damn shame that we are no longer as vigilant as we were when admitting immigrants on Ellis Island.

While admission decisions were made by the Immigration Service (IS), the law required medical inspection of immigrants by the United States Public Health Service (PHS). When a PHS medical officer formally diagnosed an immigrant with a disease or defect, throwing his or her admissibility into question, that individual was considered “medically certified.” The law required the PHS to issue a medical certificate to those who suffered from a “loathsome or a dangerous contagious disease” [1]. Exclusion of those diagnosed with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, venereal disease, trachoma, and favus was mandatory [2].

The PHS defined its mission rather narrowly—preventing the entrance of disease to the nation—but PHS officers interpreted their job more broadly. In their eyes, the goal was to prevent the entrance of undesirable people—those “who would not make good citizens” [3]. In the context of industrial-era America, immigrants who would wear out prematurely, requiring care and maintenance rather than supplying manpower, would not make “good” citizens. By 1903 the PHS had elaborated two major categories: “Class A” loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases and “Class B” diseases and conditions that would render an immigrant “likely to become a public charge.” A subset of Class A conditions included mental conditions such as insanity and epilepsy.

Today’s “progressive” would find such mandates “inhumane” and exclusionary. I say it is far more damning to destroy America’s fortunes and to plunge future generations into the desperately morose lives that comes from a world bereft of freedom, innovation, invention and vigor - all of which will be sacrificed on the bloody altar of the “greater good”.

Bush indeed has punted America to the other team. And he doesn’t much give a damn about how the game will end. Obama will run with Bush’s paltry 50 billion and, faux “messiah” that he is, he will multiply our debt and our taxes like Jesus multiplied the fish and bread. We will be awash in poverty. Our children’s burdens and deprivations shall runneth over.
And there will still be AIDS, and there will still be poverty. Only there will be no more a bright and shining city on a hill to serve as beacon for, not Obama hope, but the real hope that America once ineluctably embodied.

The Cohen resolution does not mention reparations. It does commit the House to rectifying “the lingering consequences of the misdeeds committed against African-Americans under slavery and Jim Crow.”

Where's the Pride?

The Cohen resolution referred to is Steven Cohen’s pandering piece of nauseous legislation that presumes to render an apology for slavery from all Americans. (Not getting one from me) There is no need to specifically refer to reparations,it is inferred - “…rectifying “the lingering consequences…” - and it is expected. Doesn’t matter anyway, Obama and his incoming passel of marxists have it handled.

Obama speaks to minority journalists
As president, would Obama issue a formal government apology to the Native Americans?

“We’ve got some very sad and difficult things to account for in our nation’s history, Obama said, describing some of the issues plaguing the Native American community.

But Obama took the issue a step further to include the plight of Black Americans and slavery.

Obama said he’d want to “not only offer words, but deeds” in dealing with reparations for Black people. The Harvard graduate said he supports reparations in the form of improved inner-city schools and an increase in jobs in the Black community.

A poised and calm Obama said he would support plans and initiatives that work toward “lifting people out of the legacy of slavery.”

reparations

And so will the victim pimps and race panderers waiting eagerly in the wings, rubbing their hands in anticipatory and greedy glee.

Now I wonder who gets our tax dollars first. As Obama’s destructive policies roll out, will the paycheck you busted your ass to earn be buying 40 mules and land for those oh-so aggrieved “african” americans, or will your pay check be distributing “social justice” to the millions of global whiners who will supposedly benefit from Obama’s Global Poverty Tax.

Or you could vote for McCain. Face it, McCain is hard to swallow, but swallowing Obama is asking for a prolonged and pernicious death.

After these links and below the fold I’ve reproduced the Resolution Regarding Reparations For Slavery, submitted in 2000, by none other than Trinity United Church of Christ and University Church. In it’s preface it states that these institutions - “have held church school classes and study groups on reparations.” I suppose we are expected to believe that Obama - the passionate “community activist”, the law “professor” who hammered his students about “social justice” - was sleeping through those classes and that he had no input into the writing of the resolution. Yeah, right, and he loves America too.

Barack Obama’s _amerikka bears no relation to the America of our founding fathers. As we approach the Fourth of July there sits on Capital Hill Hussein Obama’s Global Poverty Tax, a piece of legislation that makes a mockery of the Boston Tea Party and about every principle upon which this nation was founded.

Obama’s grand theme is to spread America’s wealth to the world’s poor, as the onetime community organizer from the streets of South Chicago goes global.

The species of hope that Barack Obama preaches is a first cousin of disappointment. He speaks to his followers as though they are victims, and it resonates with them because victimhood is a latent element of their collective self-image. Most of the younger ones in his audiences face historically unprecedented educational and vocational opportunities. Within the reasonable grasp of their individual initiatives is a future that is the envy of most of the world’s youth. Yet they look longingly for someone from the government to offer them hope.

He says, “It’s not too late to claim the American dream,” and they cheer wildly, and some even cry.

Don’t they know that the American dream isn’t a wish granted by a politician, or an entitlement from the government? Do they need a political seer to tell them what to hope for, and dream of, because they are unable to find it for themselves? (Source)

And that is how Obama weakens America. No, that’s how he eviscerates America’s very spine from her body. He summons forth from each citizen not the warrior, but the whiner, not the innovator, but the complainer, the wannabe dreamers with neither the will nor spine to capture their dreams on their own.

Can you imagine what this country would be like were America’s pioneers made of the same moth eaten material as Obama and his febrile supporters? They would have never made it inland from the east coast, let alone successfully execute a war against England and go on to building the greatest nation ever to be established on this planet. I can just see the Obama settlers waiting around for the government to build them a freaking road West and guarantee safe passage while they try to talk nice to some savage Indians (Yes, boys and girls, Indians could be very very nasty too) who just burned their houses down.

Obama supporters would not have had a Boston Tea Party, but a Boston Pity Party.

But let’s put aside the pilfering of our hard earned dollars by this glassy eyed socialist; “One estimate is 0.7% of gross national product, or an additional $845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid expenditures.” Let’s look at the very real threat to American sovereignty that this travesty introduces.

These goals include a “standing peace force” (i.e. a U.N. standing army), a “U.N. Arms register” of all small arms and light weapons, “peace education” covering “all levels from preschool through university,” and “political control of the global economy.” The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise American sovereignty. (Virtual “Global Poverty Act” Tea Party)

and…

By adopting the Millennium goals in 2000, the U.N. escalated its demands to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”

It doesn’t bother U.N. sycophants that most U.S. handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the U.N., and that only 30% of our foreign aid ever reaches the poor. U.N. bureaucrats accuse the U.S. of being “stingy” in its handouts to underdeveloped countries.

There is much more to the Millennium goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.Obama’s 0.7% Solution For Poverty Gets Pass From Senate Republicans

Obama’s Global Tax

What are the Millennium Development Goals

Image Source

I’ve written of Obama’s heinous Global Poverty Tax before. Barack Obama is a Marxist, a one-world whore, a poverty pimp on steroids,and he is ready to serve up America for the third world to slice and dice. You know, we often speak of the left’s fanaticism with redistributing wealth, but that is so misleading. They simply wish to redistribute poverty. They want America’s back broken and Obama and his pathetic “disenfranchised hoards” to feast on our corpse.

Obama and his ilk are vile beyond expressing. May the mortal wounds he wishes to deal this country rebound to him and his entire family one hundred fold. He has to be stopped, and I really don’t care how that is accomplished, but this little bastard has to be stopped.

Aurora at Midnight Sun offers the details. Details that the freaking legacy media won’t discuss and details that Obama will never be forced to explain in interviews.

”Those U.N. protocols would make U.S. law on issues ranging from the 2nd Amendment to energy usage and parental rights all subservient to United Nations whims.”

“[T]he legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years… would amount to $845 billion ‘over and above what the U.S. already spends.’”

“The plan passed the House in 2007 ‘because most members didn’t realize what was in it.’ Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require.”

And, how would the United States pay for this $845 BILLION commitment? According to Kincaid, who published a report on the legislation; “A global tax will clearly be necessary to force American taxpayers to provide the money.”

And that $845 BILLION global tax is in addition to our nation’s current Foreign Aid programs, which, in 2006, cost American taxpayers about $300 BILLION!

It Gets Worse!Here are some of the additional provisions of the Millennium Development Goal:

a “currency transfer tax,” that is, a tax imposed on companies and individuals who must exchange dollars for foreign currency;

a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources”;

a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal”;

“fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”

a “standing peace force,” meaning a standing United Nations army that
might, in time, be large enough to force us to bend to its will;

a “UN arms register of all small arms and light weapons,” the beginning of
the end of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution;

the “eradication of poverty” by the “redistribution [of] wealth and land”
– How do you suppose the United Nations expects to “redistribute” the land and the wealth? And what country do you think the third-world majority will go after first?

cancellation of “the debts of developing countries,”

“a fair distribution of the earth’s resources.”

and “political control of the global economy.”

In other words, it’s a blueprint for a world government, owned and operated by the United Nations. One thing is clear: the Millennium Development Goal is a dagger aimed at the heart of America.

While the Global Poverty Act, as presently championed by its Senate supporters, embraces certain aspects of the Millennium Development Goal, one should wonder if some of our legislators also support land and wealth “redistribution.”<…>.(all bold mine)

“…the Millennium Development Goal is a dagger aimed at the heart of America.”

May that dagger find it’s way back to Obama and every traitorous politician who has sanctioned this nightmare.
