This Week’s Feature
In Senate Testimony, AUL President Calls for Kagan Investigation

AUL President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest last week made headlines as she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that not only should they reject Elena Kagan’s Supreme Court nomination, but they should also probe discrepancies between her written record and her committee testimony.
Dr. Yoest told the packed hearing room, “Based on our research, we believe that Ms. Kagan will be an agenda-driven justice on the Court, and that she will oppose even the most widely-accepted protections for unborn human life.”
Senators Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) questioned Dr. Yoest closely about their concerns in light of the evidence she presented from AUL’s legal team that the nominee, who has a long history of abortion advocacy, had attempted to manipulate and politicize the medical opinions issued during the partial-birth abortion debate and on other issues of abortion-related law.

On The Docket
Sister Organization, AUL Action, asks Americans to Echo call for

Investigation

The partial-birth abortion scandal that is brewing around the Kagan nomination was the subject of an Action Alert sent out last week to grassroots activists around the country by AUL’s sister organization, AUL Action. The revelation that Elena Kagan, while serving in the Clinton White House, appeared willing to lobby not one, but two major medical organizations to change their positions on partial-birth abortion has caused deep concern here in Washington and around the country.

AUL Experts’ Commentary Featured on National Review Online & Human Events

Throughout the Kagan hearings, Dr. Yoest and other AUL experts kept pro-lifers abreast of the latest developments with their featured commentary on National Review Online’s Bench Memos and the Human Events blog.

In the News: AUL Warns that New Blood Test Would Lead to More Abortions

Fox News featured AUL Staff Counsel Mailee Smith last week in its story about an inexpensive medical test being prepared for the market, which would use a blood sample from a pregnant woman to detect whether her unborn child had Down Syndrome or other abnormalities. Smith told the network’s reporter, “If [the test] might more conclusively prevent false positives, it might have some benefit, but it will also likely lead to more abortions of children with disabilities.”

From The London Daily Telegraph Editor On Foreign Relations

Quote:

 

“Let me be clear: I’m not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama’s reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue.”
One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama’s animosity toward Great Britain, presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Hussein Obama’s first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11.  He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.The president was “too tired” to grant the leader of America’s closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as “rudeness personified.” There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September. “The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House,” said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes.  Mr. Obama’s “churlishness is unforgivable,” Mr. Hughes said.

The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina’s specious claim to the Falkland Islands, a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina. When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British — with strong support from President Ronald Reagan — expelled them.

“It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history,” wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. “Does Britain’s friendship really mean so little to him?” One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

“I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office,” wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. “A lot of hemming and hawing ensued.” One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, “Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama.”

Mr. Obama certainly doesn’t care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he’s been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend.  Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse. Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama’s abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won’t support serious sanctions on Iran. Syria’s support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at “engagement” by deepening its ties to North Korea.

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.

For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans. Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama’s relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community.
They soon will.

Immigration to America through the years. The last two pictures are immigration during the Obama regime.

Quick history lesson…

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today’s American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900, when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented.

Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good times and in bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households, and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved goodbye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture.  Nothing was handed to them.   No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them.  All they had were the skills and craftsmanship that they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out.  My father fought alongside men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan.  None of these first generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages were looking for the French American, the German American or the Irish American.  The people of France saw only Americans.  And, we carried one flag that represented one country.  Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country’s flag and waving it to represent who they were.  It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American.  They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl.

And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges.  Only, they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules:  one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country.  I’m sorry, that’s not what being an American is all about.  I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900’s,  deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

KEEP THIS MESSAGE  MOVING. FOR THE WRONG THINGS TO PREVAIL, THE RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO REMAIN COMPLACENT AND QUIET.

LET THIS NEVER HAPPEN!

An Update from Oklahoma:

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. HB 1330 The Feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Guess what … Oklahoma did it anyway. Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from; unless, they wanted to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. Guess what … Oklahoma did it anyway. Recently they passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. SB 1102 Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. Guess what … Oklahoma did it anyway. Several weeks ago, they passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign State, not under the Federal Government directives.  Joining Texas, Montana and Utah, the only other states to do so.  More states are likely to follow:  Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida.  Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003 The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns.   Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles.  I’m sure that was a setback for the criminals (and Obamaites).  Liberals didn’t like it, but …

Guess what … Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver’s license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language.  They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only.  If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English.  Really simple.

By the way, Obama does not like any of this.

Guess what … who cares … Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
