When will we get enough?

Senator Burr is shocked that he has received threats for his liberal approach on immigration. He was all set to vote with the Dems and the threats apparently changed his mind and he felt pressured to vote with the people of NC. He called a news conference to announce and complain about this. Maybe he should get his sorry rich ass out in the street and talk to the folks that put him in office. He might want to listen to what they want instead of thinking only in terms of Power and how he can line his pockets. Except for Florida, New York, California and D.C. the country seems to have made it very clear to a sane person that they do not want amnesty for the 12 million plus that are trashing this nation. Is no one in Congress listening?

Doesn’t anyone really care about America anymore? Listen to a professional golf match on TV and all you hear is the commentator laying all sorts of ungodly praise on the Lorena Ochoa, Mexican who has never won a major and has lost 4 out of 5 playoffs, and anyone of the 20 or 30 Koreans that are on the tour. The phrase that really gets me is “She is such a hero in her country, every time she tee’s it up she is representing her country”. The implication is that only foreign players have pride in their country. Why is that? Is it because none of the announcers have pride in America or that none of the American players are proud to be American. I know some of the players and they are real Americans who love to represent America so I really don’t know where this crap is coming from. If it is such a big deal to represent their country why don’t they go home and start their own golf association and then compete with America. England use to do that. Not anymore. They got tired of being beaten so things like the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup are now Europe, Africa, and Australia against America. The announcers love it because America has a tough time taking on the world. I guess it is un-American to root for the home team. Maybe US media should listen to BBC or Germany or Mexican broadcast. Their announcers have no trouble rooting for the home team.

And this crap is not just at the national level. Just this week the Yadkin County Commissioners after listening to about half the county speak against a tax hike decided the people they represent really didn’t know what they wanted and passed 8 cent property tax rate increase along with a $60 per household landfill use fee. Understand that there is no employment in Yadkin County. There hasn’t been for several years. The county is being flooded with Mexicans and it is a big welfare county. One of the poorest if not the poorest county in the state. The commissioners used the same old tired argument that “this will increase the tax base and bring in new business”. Bull! There will be no new business in Yadkin County or Surry County for that matter. You need a young, educated, employee force to bring in business. It doesn’t exist.
