Illegal Corporate Immigration
There has been very much ballyhoo recently over how illegal immigrants are taking over America,and how they all should be just sent home!No matter their plight;no matter their flight,no matter their reason to flee.Forget ,'Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.'The American people not longer wish to extend an olive branch to our neighbors in need.
The 10th Commandment: "Shall Not Covet!"Pretty much sums up how we feel towards people trying to get in or stay in our great land.Moochers that are taking away our jobs,natural resources and making us push 'one' to hear English.
'Veterans before illegal immigrants!' Is my favorite of these sayings.It's the old bait and switch.The Right Wing time after time refuses to pass any bill to help the American vets....but just passed a bill guaranteed to help the illegal immigrant that resides but does not have ANY American status.
While some may say that we,the American people,are far too stupid to understand what our politicians are doing,I say that instead of being LED by our leaders,we are continuously being misled by them.
And the very people leading this charge of propaganda and deception are the very people we shout to get rid of...the illegal immigrant.
I am not talking the common illegal,the one who has been here as a small child and is now the valedictorian of her high school. I am not talking your gardener,the below minimum wage earners...I am talking the trouble makers.I am talking the ones we lose our jobs to.I am talking about the ones that lie about being here.I am talking about the ones that steal from America.That don't pay their taxes!
I'm talking about the illegal corporation immigrant!
Yeah,I'm talking about you,you un~American corporations!
According to the United States Of America Supreme Court,corporations are now considered people.
And it has become the very popular thing for un~American corporations to invert ...to give up their America citizenship to become foreigners!
Oh,it's nothing new.Giant un~American corporations with mailboxes in the Cayman Islands,calling themselves foreign corporations as a big tax dodge.Our schools,roads,and bridges don't need their money.
But,let us not be misled: They ARE foreign corporations taking and stealing American tax dollars!Sure,they work here.BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING THEIR TAXES!!! They are taking JOBS and REVENUE away from us Americans!
Our politicians say that they want to build a wall,but they just keep LETTING THEM IN!
And,now,our congress has just signed legislation to ease the standards in which these illegals can continue to sieve through the American pocketbook.Congress even threatened to shut down the government to do it.
SHUT UP!
Of course,none of this could be possible without the right wing of the right wing making this possible.
No,not you T~Party.
I am talking the group's mainstream media spokes~head: FOX Entertainment.Talk about your misleading,'This is some good misleading...hee..heee.'
The illegal corporate immigrant is so loved among his right wing brothers that they even ran a member of one for president in 2012: Mitt Romney.Give kudos to Mitt for lovingly giving - probably more than demanded of him- to his church.On the other hand,this man running for leader of the greatest nation on Earth was running an illegal corporate immigrant scam - avoiding paying his fare-share of love this-a-away,and keeping it for himself on a sunny beach somewhere in the Bahamas.
Just doesn't seem right ta me.
"We cut 'em in half and give 'em a band~aid."
That's the right wing way.
Let giant foreign corporations machine gun down our pursuit of life,liberty and happiness and blame the little guy invited here to find comfort.

For Halloween: An Old Testament Ghost Story
1 Samuel 28:Samuel had died some time earlier,and people from all over Israel had attended his funeral in his hometown of Ramah.
Meanwhile, Saul had been trying to get rid of everyone who spoke with the spirits of the dead.But one day the Philistines brought their soldiers together to attack Israel.
Achish told David, “Of course, you know that you and your men must fight as part of our Philistine army.”
David answered, “That will give you a chance to see for yourself just how well we can fight!”
“In that case,” Achish said, “you and your men will always be my bodyguards.”
The Philistines went to Shunem and set up camp. Saul called the army of Israel together, and they set up their camp in Gilboa. Saul took one look at the Philistine army and started shaking with fear. So he asked the Lord what to do. But the Lord would not answer, either in a dream or by a priest or a prophet. Then Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who can talk to the spirits of the dead. I’ll go to her and find out what’s going to happen.”
His servants told him, “There’s a woman at Endor who can talk to spirits of the dead.”
That night, Saul put on different clothing so nobody would recognize him. Then he and two of his men went to the woman, and asked, “Will you bring up the ghost of someone for us?”
The woman said, “Why are you trying to trick me and get me killed? You know King Saul has gotten rid of everyone who talks to the spirits of the dead!”
Saul replied, “I swear by the living Lord that nothing will happen to you because of this.”
“Who do you want me to bring up?” she asked.
“Bring up the ghost of Samuel,” he answered.
When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed. Then she turned to Saul and said, “You’ve tricked me! You’re the king!”
“Don’t be afraid,” Saul replied. “Just tell me what you see.”
She answered, “I see a spirit rising up out of the ground.”
“What does it look like?”
“It looks like an old man wearing a robe.”
Saul knew it was Samuel, so he bowed down low.
“Why are you bothering me by bringing me up like this?” Samuel asked.
“I’m terribly worried,” Saul answered. “The Philistines are about to attack me. God has turned his back on me and won’t answer any more by prophets or by dreams. What should I do?”
Samuel said:
If the Lord has turned away from you and is now your enemy, don’t ask me what to do. 17 I’ve already told you: The Lord has sworn to take the kingdom from you and give it to David. And that’s just what he’s doing! When the Lord was angry with the Amalekites, he told you to destroy them, but you didn’t do it. That’s why the Lord is doing this to you. Tomorrow the Lordwill let the Philistines defeat Israel’s army, then you and your sons will join me down here in the world of the dead.
At once, Saul collapsed and lay stretched out on the floor, terrified at what Samuel had said. He was weak because he had not eaten anything since the day before.
The woman came over to Saul, and when she saw that he was completely terrified, she said, “Your Majesty, I listened to you and risked my life to do what you asked. Now please listen to me. Let me get you a little something to eat. It will give you strength for your walk back to camp.”
“No, I won’t eat!”
But his officers and the woman kept on urging Saul, until he finally agreed. He got up off the floor and sat on the bed. Right away the woman killed a calf that she had been fattening up. She cooked part of the meat and baked some thin bread. Then she served the food to Saul and his officers, who ate and left before daylight.
For Halloween: A Catholic Old Testament Horror Story
Warning: This Story Is Horror Filled And Scary:
2 Maccabees 7 :
At that the king, in a fury, gave orders to have pans and caldrons heated.
These were quickly heated, and he gave the order to cut out the tongue of the one who had spoken for the others, to scalp him and cut off his hands and feet, while the rest of his brothers and his mother looked on.
When he was completely maimed but still breathing, the king ordered them to carry him to the fire and fry him. As a cloud of smoke spread from the pan, the brothers and their mother encouraged one another to die nobly, with these words:
“The Lord God is looking on and truly has compassion on us, as Moses declared in his song, when he openly bore witness, saying, ‘And God will have compassion on his servants.’”
After the first brother had died in this manner, they brought the second to be made sport of. After tearing off the skin and hair of his head, they asked him, “Will you eat the pork rather than have your body tortured limb by limb?”
Answering in the language of his ancestors, he said, “Never!” So he in turn suffered the same tortures as the first.
With his last breath he said: “You accursed fiend, you are depriving us of this present life, but the King of the universe will raise us up to live again forever, because we are dying for his laws.”
After him the third suffered their cruel sport. He put forth his tongue at once when told to do so, and bravely stretched out his hands,
as he spoke these noble words: “It was from Heaven that I received these; for the sake of his laws I disregard them; from him I hope to receive them again.”
Even the king and his attendants marveled at the young man’s spirit, because he regarded his sufferings as nothing.
After he had died, they tortured and maltreated the fourth brother in the same way.
When he was near death, he said, “It is my choice to die at the hands of mortals with the hope that God will restore me to life; but for you, there will be no resurrection to life.”
They next brought forward the fifth brother and maltreated him.
Looking at the king, he said: “Mortal though you are, you have power over human beings, so you do what you please. But do not think that our nation is forsaken by God.
Only wait, and you will see how his great power will torment you and your descendants.”
After him they brought the sixth brother. When he was about to die, he said: “Have no vain illusions. We suffer these things on our own account, because we have sinned against our God; that is why such shocking things have happened.
Do not think, then, that you will go unpunished for having dared to fight against God.”
Most admirable and worthy of everlasting remembrance was the mother who, seeing her seven sons perish in a single day, bore it courageously because of her hope in the Lord.
Filled with a noble spirit that stirred her womanly reason with manly emotion, she exhorted each of them in the language of their ancestors with these words:
“I do not know how you came to be in my womb; it was not I who gave you breath and life, nor was it I who arranged the elements you are made of.
Therefore, since it is the Creator of the universe who shaped the beginning of humankind and brought about the origin of everything, he, in his mercy, will give you back both breath and life, because you now disregard yourselves for the sake of his law.”
Antiochus, suspecting insult in her words, thought he was being ridiculed. As the youngest brother was still alive, the king appealed to him, not with mere words, but with promises on oath, to make him rich and happy if he would abandon his ancestral customs: he would make him his Friend and entrust him with high office.
When the youth paid no attention to him at all, the king appealed to the mother, urging her to advise her boy to save his life.
After he had urged her for a long time, she agreed to persuade her son.
She leaned over close to him and, in derision of the cruel tyrant, said in their native language: “Son, have pity on me, who carried you in my womb for nine months, nursed you for three years, brought you up, educated and supported you to your present age.
I beg you, child, to look at the heavens and the earth and see all that is in them; then you will know that God did not make them out of existing things.* In the same way humankind came into existence.
Do not be afraid of this executioner, but be worthy of your brothers and accept death, so that in the time of mercy I may receive you again with your brothers.”
She had scarcely finished speaking when the youth said: “What is the delay? I will not obey the king’s command. I obey the command of the law given to our ancestors through Moses.
But you, who have contrived every kind of evil for the Hebrews, will not escape the hands of God.
We, indeed, are suffering because of our sins.
Though for a little while our living Lord has been angry, correcting and chastising us, he will again be reconciled with his servants.
But you, wretch, most vile of mortals, do not, in your insolence, buoy yourself up with unfounded hopes, as you raise your hand against the children of heaven.
You have not yet escaped the judgment of the almighty and all-seeing God.
Our brothers, after enduring brief pain, have drunk of never-failing life, under God’s covenant. But you, by the judgment of God, shall receive just punishments for your arrogance.
Like my brothers, I offer up my body and my life for our ancestral laws, imploring God to show mercy soon to our nation, and by afflictions and blows to make you confess that he alone is God.
Through me and my brothers, may there be an end to the wrath of the Almighty that has justly fallen on our whole nation.”
At that, the king became enraged and treated him even worse than the others, since he bitterly resented the boy’s contempt.
Thus he too died undefiled, putting all his trust in the Lord.
Last of all, after her sons, the mother was put to death.
Enough has been said about the sacrificial meals and the excessive cruelties.
2 Maccabees 7 :
It also happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with whips and scourges by the king to force them to eat pork in violation of God’s law.
One of the brothers, speaking for the others, said: “What do you expect to learn by questioning us? We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.”
One of the brothers, speaking for the others, said: “What do you expect to learn by questioning us? We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.”
