Elbert Guillory: The GOP's newest Superstar, explains his reasons for switching to the Republican Party

From Eric Dondero:

Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory releases this magnificent video. Guillory, who always seemed out of step in the LA Democrat Party, switched to Republican two weeks ago. A week later, a black elected city councilman in Central City followed his lead, and switched to the GOP. 

Some have speculated Guillory might be seeking higher office. There is a Senate race in LA for 2014. 

Troubled incumbent Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu is up for reelection. Just last weekend the Senator was in the news when her 22-year old son got busted for DUI - driving the wrong way on a one way street in downtown New Orleans.  

Elbert making the leap from the State Senate to the United States Senate? Or, even the presidency? We shall see.

UPDATE!

Here's the headline just uploaded over at Tucker's TheDailyCaller from Matt Lewis: "Must-See Video: Is Elbert Guillory the next conservative superstar?"  I dare say Matt may be a regular reader of this website?

Granting voting rights to liars

by Clifford F. Thies 

In a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a federal law allowing persons to register to vote (in federal elections) merely upon their sworn statement that they are citizens, cannot be augmented by a state law requiring proof of citizenship. (Reuters)  The Constitutional basis for this ruling is rather clear. In Article 1 says:

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations ... "

Thus, the Congress may trump the states. The Arizona law might have been interpreted as enabling the state to enforce, proactively, the citizenship criterion required by the Congress; but, no, now the state will have to enforce the citizenship reactively, by punishing those who falsely swear that they are citizens. 

In Arizona, perjury is defined as "knowingly" making a material false statement. The obvious defense against a charge of perjury is "no lo comprendo, señor." So, in order to reactively enforce the citizenship requirement, it will be useful to advise those who present themselves to vote of what they have sworn, with witnesses present. 

In Arizona, the penalty for perjury, first offense, is up to three years in prison. Democrats should be o.k. with this, because their beloved illegals will be back on the street in time to vote in the next Presidential election.

Gang of Illegal Immigrants invade the private home of Kansas libertarian Sec. of State

I have known Kris Kobach since I was a Georgetown University junior. Kobach was then and remains a terribly bright, engaging, and personable patriot... Conservatives and libertarians should cross their fingers for Kobach. -- DeRoy Murdock, 2010 elections 

From LibertarianRepublican Feb. 2012, "Possible terrorist bombing plot at Kansas capitol: Gov. Brownback, Republican legislators may have been targets":

Three days of intense debate over immigration issues at the capital in Topeka. Protests outside the capital by pro-open borders advocates. 

And late yesterday, news of a suspected violent threat to the governor and explosives discovered right on the capital grounds. From Fox News - Latino, "Explosives Found Near Kansas Statehouse Amid Immigration Hearings":

Capitol Police spokesman Patrick Saleh said the homemade explosives were made with household materials and designed to spray shrapnel once they were detonated. He didn't have further details, but called them "actual explosives." 

The pickup incident, as well as a phoned-in threat to Kansas Gov. Brownback's office, came the same day a Kansas House committee opened three days of hearings on several bills designed to crack down on illegal immigration, backed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a former law professor who helped draft tough laws in Alabama and Arizona.

Excerpted today from Todd Starnes, Townhall.com, "Mob of Immigration Activists Storm Kansas Secretary of State’s Home":

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is calling for a criminal investigation after a huge mob of illegal alien supporters surrounded his private home Saturday and held a rally on his front porch. At least 200 members of Sunflower Community Action were bussed into Kobach’s Kansas City-area neighborhood on Saturday – to protest his staunch anti-illegal alien views. “I was just appalled,” Kobach told Fox News. 

“They have a right to protest at my office or at public places – that’s fine. But they don’t have a right to enter someone’s private property and engage in this kind of intimidation.” 

“I have four little girls and they would have been terrified to see 200 protesters shouting at their daddy on megaphones on the front lawn,” he said. The secretary of state said a large number of the protesters were believed to be illegal aliens. They can be seen on video chanting in Spanish, standing on Kobach’s porch, front yard and driveway and demanding that he come outside.

Longest-serving libertarian Republican in US Congress threatens revolt among House colleagues against Boehner, if he moves forward with Senate immigration bill

If he does this, "he should be removed as Speaker" 

From Eric Dondero:

He's been called the "Founder" of the modern libertarian political movement. Rohrabacher was the Chairman of the Libertarian Caucus of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) in the late 1960s, when the libertarian wing famously split with conservatives over marijuana legalization, and opposition to the military draft. And now he may be on the edge of leading another revolt of sorts. 

From TheHill, "Rohrabacher: Boehner 'should be removed as Speaker' if he moves Senate immigration bill":

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) warned Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would face a conference revolt that could threaten his Speakership if he allows a House vote on the immigration bill presently being debated in the Senate. 

Rohrabacher said if Boehner moves forward with a vote on immigration reform without a Republican majority, it would be a “betrayal” of his party. 

“I would consider that a betrayal of the Republican members of the House and a betrayal of the Republicans throughout the country,” Rohrabacher said on World Net Daily radio. “If Boehner moves forward ... and permits this to come to a vote even though the majority of Republicans in the House — and that’s if they do — oppose what’s coming to a vote, he should be removed as Speaker.”

Note - Clifford and I had the pleasure of working with Dana and his staff in the early to mid 1990s on legislation to abolish Selective Service and end forever the military draft. We got 4 other Republican cosponsors including current Cong. Steve Stockman of Texas.

SHOCKING!! This is what a modern day Police State looks like

From Eric Dondero:

Youth protesters in Turkey against the Islamist regime, led away from the square to interrogation centers, or perhaps even torture chambers, hanging posts or courtyards where they will get a bullet through their heads.  

Like something straight out of a documentary on Hitler's Germany in the 1930s, Stalin's Soviet Union, Castro's Cuban Revolution or Pol Pot's Cambodia 1977/78.

Numbers released... now 85% of all rapes in Sweden committed by immigrants, likely Muslims and N. Africans

The only way to fix such a problem is either halt immigration altogether, or to bring down the law on Muslim immigrants who are unwilling to obey. 

However, such actions force Swedish officials to recognize the root of the problem - Islam. And we all know how government officials react to that. -- John-Pierre Maeli, ThePoliticalInformer 

From NewsMax, May 29, "Europe’s Immigration Issues Coming Here":

The country’s Crime Prevention Council reported that Sweden had 46 rapes for 100,000 residents. The U.K. was a distant second with 23 rapes per 100,000 residents... it is four times more likely that the rapist is born abroad than native born.

Another study reported that 85 percent of the Swedish rapes were by foreign-born persons. [North Africa, Middle East, smaller number from South Asia] 

Malmo, in the near future, is likely to become the first Scandinavian city to have a Muslim majority. Already the city leads the country in crime. 

Studies postulate that the Koran permits rapes of non-Muslim women, and Swedish reports indicate that the majority of rapists are from Africa and the Middle East.

From StopIslamizationoftheWorld,  June 15:

Who has the highest number of rapes in the world? The title sadly goes to Sweden... one out of every four Swedish women being a victim of rape.

From the American Thinker via Counter Jihad Report, Februay 10:

The escalation of rape in Sweden is so bad that in July of last year there were an average of five rapes a day reported in Stockholm. Think about that for a minute; five women being raped a day in a modern civilized city. 

This isn't Afghanistan or Mexico we're talking about; it's Sweden. The fact that the quantity of rapes is increasing due to the increase of Muslim immigrants is in itself disturbing.

As of 2008, Sweden's rape statistics were up to 53.2 per 100,000 population. Sadly, they are most likely higher as the Muslim population continues to grow without any willingness to assimilate into Swedish society.

Taxi-cab drivers affiliated with an unnamed religion now refusing to take visually-impaired with guide dogs

Hey there boys and girls... it's time for another edition of guess that religion??? 

From Eric Dondero: 

It's a 12 paragraph article. Not one single mention of the word "Muslim." But you can pretty much guess that it's not Presbyterian cab-drivers. 

From the Scotsman.com, "Aberdeen taxis ‘refusing guide dogs’ on board":

AN investigation has been launched into claims that taxi drivers in Aberdeen are refusing to allow guide dogs into their cars on “religious” grounds. 

Some taxi drivers in Aberdeen have refused to let guide dogs on board, it has been claimed. Refusals down to “religious” reasons, according to chairman of Disability Advisory Group Members of Aberdeen City Council’s taxi consultation group have ordered the investigation following complaints raised by the city’s Disability Advisory Group. 

According a minute of a recent meeting of the consultation group, the Disability Advisory Group had provided details in relation to “several instances” where taxi drivers in the city had allegedly refused to take “visually impaired” passengers to their destination due to the fact that they were accompanied by their guide dogs.

Assholes! 

Confirmed! So-called Unite Against Fascism (UAF) has rapists, terrorist-sympathizers and Islamo-fascists among their leadership

"Azad Ali has written on his blog of his "love" for (Al Qaeda leader) Anwar al-Awlaki" and advocated for the killing of British troops in Iraq

From the LondonDailyTelegraph, "Anti-Fascists fuel the hatred they oppose":

A senior UAF official has recently been accused of rape and sexual assault by two women... [He] has given up both posts but continues to take part in UAF protests and activities, including as recently as last week. 

Prominent campaigners such as the gay rights activist Peter Tatchell accuse UAF of a selective approach to bigotry. “UAF... is silent about Islamist fascists who promote anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism and sectarian attacks on non-extremist Muslims,” said Mr Tatchell. “It is time the UAF campaigned against the Islamist far Right (sic) as well as against the EDL and BNP far Right.” 

One reason why UAF will not campaign against Islamist extremists is that one of its own vice-chairmen, Azad Ali, is one. As well as his UAF role, Mr Ali is community affairs coordinator of the Islamic Forum of Europe, a Muslim supremacist group dedicated to changing “the very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed to Islam”. (Emphasis added.)

Mr Ali has written on his blog of his “love” for Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda cleric closely linked to the September 11 attacks... He has described al-Qaeda as a “myth” and denied that the Mumbai attacks were terrorism. On his blog, he also advocated the killing of British troops in Iraq. 

CORRECTION: Islamists in no way could be considered "far Right." For example, their economic platform is pure socialism, fiercely opposed to free market capitalistm.
