Tea Party will nominate their own candidate for the 2012 race rather than embrace a "pseudo-Republican" like Romney. Tea Party does not want to swallow and digest a Massachusetts Liberal posing as Conservative

.
Even during his own 2012 primary republican campaign Mitt Romney is strongly flip-flopping. One day he is going to kick out 12 million "illegals" ( during a television debate ) and a few days later he says the opposite in Florida in order to win the Latino vote in the sunshine state.

This is what Mitt Romney said in Florida. Exact Words :

“I’m very concerned about those who are already here illegally and how we deal with those 11 million or so,” Romney said. “My heart goes out to that group of people… We’re not going to go around and round people up in buses and ship them home.”

People in Anger ( 2012 style ) don't want a "Patrician Blue Blood" and "Wealthy Guy" from the Liberal North East, a member of the Highest Class and more exclusive social clubs of the Rich. This is 2012, year of fury, rage, wrath and crazyness. Many Republicans and Tea Party are mad and they don't want such fraud and fake Republican.

I do not share their misdirected and misguided anger and fury, but I can understand it. They are deceived like the guys that were told lies about candidate John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign.

Unfortunately Lies and Hypocrisy are very effective !

I got a lot of inspiration to write this note by reading the Huffington Post and one of my favorite political writers and author of books : Stephen of the Great Schlesinger dynasty of intellectuals.

The Republican Nightmare: A Third and Fourth Party?


Some excerpts :

As one assesses the Republican primary race, it seems increasingly evident that Mitt Romney will win the party's presidential nomination. But he will be inheriting a fractured party.

The Tea Party activists have over the past months all but declared that they detest Romney and won't forgive him because of his establishment credentials and moderate views. Herman Cain's recent endorsement of Newt Gingrich is one example of this. The heroine of the Republican right-wing, Sarah Palin, has come out and publicly backed Gingrich. So has one-time presidential contender, Texas governor Rick Perry. Is Rick Santorum next? And influential radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, while not outright endorsing Gingrich, is attacking Romney's advertising assaults against Gingrich.

Florida has roughly 1.5 million Hispanic voters :


"DORAL, Fla. — Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney urged conservatives to back off aggressive anti-immigration policies as the Republican presidential candidates vied for Hispanic votes Friday, a day marked by heightened tensions entering the final weekend before Florida’s primary".

Romney, Gingrich focus on Hispanic voters in Florida

Romney, Gingrich focus on Hispanic voters in Florida


Some excerpts :

The compassionate approach, like Gingrich’s calls for politically practical reform, was aimed at improving the Republican Party’s tarnished reputation among Hispanics. Both men delivered speeches Friday to the same group of Hispanic leaders gathered in Miami but avoided — at least briefly — criticizing each other in what now looks like a two-man race for the nomination.

Any calls for temperance on immigration didn’t apply to personal attacks elsewhere.

The former House speaker released a new television ad in Florida using former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to question Romney’s integrity. “If a man’s dishonest to get a job, he’ll be dishonest on the job,” Huckabee says in the ad.

Finding Asian America in Arizona's Immigration Battle


Some excerpts :

Then, last year, a handful of states launched a renewed attack on birthright citizenship, the constitutional guarantee that persons born on US soil will be treated as US citizens - - which was in fact settled over 100 years ago in a Supreme Court case involving a US-born Chinese American cook in San Francisco. Reviewing the anti-birthright citizenship proposals, I realized that I, too, would have qualified as an "anchor baby."

On the occasion of the ACLU’s 90th anniversary, I had the privilege of accompanying Jim and Marian to Ellis Island, where Marian gave remarks about her childhood behind barbed wire in an internment camp and Jim described his experience being profiled over half a century later. Back in Arizona, I began to realize that the advocacy community in Phoenix and across the country could no longer afford splintering or disunity. Through multi-ethnic, multi-generational and multi-issue coalition work, we defeated the birthright citizenship proposals (and many other anti-immigrant bills) in 2011.

We now find ourselves at a critical juncture. Just last month, the US Department of Justice, after an extensive investigation spanning two and a half years, found the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to have engaged in a pattern and practice of racially profiling Latinos. A week later, a federal court enjoined the Sheriff''s Office from detaining Latinos solely on suspicion of being undocumented. At the same time, unfortunately, states like Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina are following Arizona’s example and have enacted their own SB 1070 copycat legislation.

As we head into another presidential election year, Obama has a challenging road ahead of him on immigration. While the administration’s promises of prosecutorial discretion may mitigate the harshest aspects of our immigration system, the list of opponents to dragnet programs like Secure Communities continues to grow. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has granted certiorari in the federal government’s challenge to SB 1070. The legal arguments in the case are about the proper role of states in immigration enforcement, but as with the other efforts to isolate and exclude particular groups in our nation’s history, something greater is at stake. Decisions such as this define us as a people, as Americans : will we embrace pluralism and our stated commitments to civil and human rights, or will we retreat to segregation and fragmentation?

"Rapists and murderers, frequently cited as the main unauthorized immigrants ICE is trying to remove, made up a far smaller percentage of those held that day than the innocent, traffic violators or low-level drug offenders, according to ICE's crime breakdown"

.
"The fact is, we're not deporting huge numbers of rapists and murderers," said Emily Tucker, director of policy and advocacy for the Detention Watch Network, which pushes for limiting detention and deportation. "They would like us to think that, but that isn't what is going on."

No Conviction, No Freedom: Immigration Authorities Locked 13,000 In Limbo

No Conviction, No Freedom: Immigration Authorities Locked 13,000 In Limbo


Some Excerpts :

WASHINGTON -- On a single day this past fall, the United States government held 13,185 people in immigration detention who had not been convicted of a crime, some of whom will not be charged with one, according to information The Huffington Post obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Instead, at a cost of roughly 2 million taxpayer dollars per day, the men and women were detained while immigration authorities sorted out their fates.
............

The FOIA request for information on all immigrants in detention on Oct. 3, 2011, turned up a list of nearly 32,300. Forty percent of those held by ICE had not been convicted of a crime, nor were they awaiting criminal trial. Despite what the term "illegal immigration" implies, simply being in the country without status is a civil, not a criminal, offense.
..........

Locking people up is big business. The Corrections Corporation of America, which gives heavily to both parties, is explicit about the connection between immigrant detention policy and the private prison company's bottom line. "The demand for our correctional and detention facilities and services ... could be adversely affected by changes in existing criminal or immigration laws, crime rates in jurisdictions in which we operate, the relaxation of criminal or immigration enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction, sentencing or deportation practices, and the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by criminal laws or the loosening of immigration laws," the company wrote in an analysis for investors filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "Immigration reform laws which are currently a focus for legislators and politicians at the federal, state and local level also could materially adversely impact us."

ICE has been publicly attempting to shift away from detaining innocent immigrants, and has implemented new policies to increase prosecutorial discretion. Separate data provided by ICE indicates progress in that direction. The percentage of non-criminals in detention decreased significantly between the 2008 and 2011 fiscal years, from 71 percent to 54 percent, according to that data, and deportation of criminal immigrants has increased from previous years.
..............

International human rights law requires governments to protect detainees from violent crime while in custody. Yet incidents of rape and violent assaults in immigration detention centers are not uncommon.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Where are the American Protestants so fond of the Bible and the Bible quotes about the Divinity of Jesus ?? - Why are they so passive before the Mormon to be president ?? -*- Is Mormonism so innocuous to their faith ??

.
O Mother State, how quenched thy Sinai fires!
Is there none left of thy stanch Mayflower breed?
No spark among the ashes of thy sires,
Of Virtue's altar-flame the kindling seed?
Are these thy great men, these that cringe and creep,
And writhe through slimy ways to place and power?--
How long, O Lord, before thy wrath shall reap
Our frail-stemmed summer prosperings in their flower?
Oh for one hour of that undaunted stock
That went with Vane and Sidney to the block!



From a poem by James Russell Lowell : "To John Gorham Palfrey"

James Russell Lowell ( 1819 – 1891) was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat.

John Gorham Palfrey (1796 – 1881) was a fierce anti-slavery fighter that lost positions in the U. S. Congress and public offices for his strong views for freedom for all men. After Abraham Lincoln's election in 1861, Senator Charles Sumner secured him appointment as Postmaster of Boston, a post he held from 1861 to 1867.

The warmth of James Russell Lowell's affection was almost ideal, and it best expressed itself in memorial verses in honor of his friends. These verses show how greatly he valued courage and faithfulness in defense of the right, and they have a distinctly ethical character. The first of these poems is addressed " To John Gorham Palfrey," who had bolted from his party rather than support a candidate submissive to the encroachments of slavery.

This is a collection of poems to friends that he admired and loved for their political stances and affirmations, written circa 1848, 13 years before the American Civil War.

Vicente's Tirade and Rant follows :

*********************************************


How can the Greatest Country on earth and the Greatest Empire that has ever existed be ruled by a brainwashed brainwasher ??

By a Mormon Missionary ??? -- People do not know the History of this Religion founded by such frauds that wanted to exploit ignorance, foolishness, stupidity .... With the topmost in Fantasy and Absurd, contradicted by Science, like the Genetics of the Native American Indians or the reading of the Egyptian Scrolls of the "Book of Abraham" that "Prophet" Joseph Smith translated according to his schemes of swindling fools.

What about raping so many young girls in the History of this cult ??

What about those Old Mormons in Utah that castrated a young and handsome rival in order to enslave a preadolescent girl in their brutal harems ??

What about the Brutal Racism of Mormonism for most of its History ??

I even doubt that Mitt Romney believes in the foolish tenets of this faith.

I am not a Christian but I am amazed by the unChristian and antiChristian dogmas of Mormonism.

They contradict the Theology that Christianity has had during 2,000 years : Catholics and Protestants.

You have to go to some Gnostics or to the Cathars to find such "Horrible" Heretics.

And why Americans love and admire such millionaires that have made their fortune by dubious ways ??

Is it that they believe that they are going to be billionaires in the same Exclusive Clubs as Mitt ?? - Are they realistic ??

Florida's January 31 presidential primary : 452,619 Latinos are registered as Republicans representing 11.1% of all Republican registered voters. And 564,513 Latino registered voters are registered as Democrats, representing 12.4% of all Democratic registered voters

.

"As recently as 2006, more Hispanics in Florida were registered as Republicans than as Democrats. By 2008, the balance tipped over to the Democrats. This year that trend has accelerated, with the gap–111,894 registered voters–between Hispanics who are registered as Democrats and those registered as Republicans wider now than in 2008 or 2010".

Everything about Florida Voter Registration Statistics with relation to Hispanics : Political Affiliation, Country of Origin, Education, Home ownership.

Pew Research Center : Factsheet
Latinos in the 2012 Election: Florida
Released on January 23, 2012

Some excerpts :

Geographically, the majority of Hispanic Republican registered voters are located in South Florida. According to the Division of Elections, 58.5% (264,721) are in Miami-Dade County alone. By contrast, among the state’s Hispanic Democratic registered voters, a smaller share, 33.9% (191,359), are registered to vote in Miami-Dade County.

Hispanics in Florida’s Eligible Voter Population

The Hispanic population in Florida is the third-largest in the nation. More than 4.2 million Hispanics reside in Florida, 8% of all Hispanics in the United States.

Florida’s population is 23% Hispanic, the sixth-highest Hispanic population share nationally.

There are 2.1 million Hispanic eligible voters in Florida—the third-largest Hispanic eligible-voter population nationally. California ranks first with 5.9 million.

Some 16% of Florida eligible voters are Hispanic, the fifth-largest Hispanic eligible voter population share nationally. New Mexico ranks first with 39%.

One-half (49%) of Hispanics in Florida are eligible to vote, ranking Florida 12th nationwide in the share of the Hispanic population that is eligible to vote. By contrast, 81% of the state’s white population is eligible to vote.

By contrast, among Hispanic eligible voters nationwide, 59% are Mexican, 14% are Puerto Rican and 5% are Cuban.

Educational Attainment. Two-in-ten Latino eligible voters in Florida (20%) have not completed high school. That is lower than the rate for Latino eligible voters nationwide—25%—but greater than the rate for all U.S. eligible voters (12%) or all eligible voters in Florida (13%).

Homeownership. Two-thirds of Hispanic eligible voters in Florida (67%) live in owner-occupied homes versus 58% of Hispanic eligible voters nationwide. Somewhat greater shares of all eligible voters in Florida (71%) and all eligible voters nationwide (69%) live in owner-occupied homes.

Post Mormon Organization : "Native American DNA and its impact on Mormonism" : By Dr Simon Southerton - A mormon became a great student of science : Genetics, History, Archaeology and discovered the lies of Joseph Smith and "Book of Mormon"

.
This man spent a lot of his life preaching Mormonism, making converts and having a high post in this Church. But he was very fond of science and little by little he discovered the great scam of "Prophet" Joseph Smith.

His process of conversion to Post-Mormon was oveloaded with pain, psychological difficulties and inadequacies. He may have lost many friends and relations, but finally science proved to him the absurdity of Mormonism.

He discovered that the assertions of Joseph Smith about Native American Indians are contradicted by the science of Genetics and DNA.

Also the "Book of Abraham" written by Joseph Smith is another swindle and cheat of a Great Con Man. A Lier and Scoundrel, that was the "Prophet" and Founder of Mormonism.

His life as a Latter Day Saint was not easy, it was a painful and difficult psychological process that led him to embrace science and reject the fantasy and the delusions of this Religion.
