From My Heart

     It is starting! The House Democrats are throwing a fit over a bill put before Congress that would prevent millions of illegals from 

crossing over the southern border into our country. The Democrats are crying racism and bigotry and calling Republicans every name in the book! So, they have somewhat revealed their motive for opening the border as wide as they possibly can open it!

     The plan is to open the border and let anybody and everybody come into the country. Then, they give these illegals a driver’s license, which at the same time registers them to vote! The bill before the House of Representatives will force these folks who have come into the country to present “proof of citizenship.” The bill calls for a passport or a valid birth certificate.

     When you go to an airport to board a plane to fly somewhere, you must show proper ID to validate that you are whom you claim! There are multitudes of other areas where identification is a must! Does it not seem plausible to think that only legal citizens of the United States should vote in a national or local election? When I go to my doctor’s office, they ask me for my driver’s license and insurance card. I have never heard anyone stand there and argue with the office staff that they were being bigoted, racist, unfair, or just plain “mean” by asking for proper identification. And yet, Democrats in the House and Senate just go ballistic when “voter ID” is mentioned.

     Did you see what has happened in the election results in France and England in the last week or so? The Muslims, since Obama’s Arab Spring, have fled from their homes in the Middle East and have swarmed into these European countries. They have overwhelmed “the system” of these nations and are running for offices and are changing the local laws and voting Sharia Law into many localities. And they are doing the exact same things here in various parts of our country. There are sections of London, Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Dearborn, Michigan where Sharia Law is enforced.

     These things should scare the daylights out of American citizens! We simply cannot keep electing the same group of politicians into office and expect they are going to have our best interests in their minds! Maryland is one of the worst states in the entire nation for electing the same people into office and then re-electing them every four years. Could we stop for a moment and realize they are the ones who have broken Maryland, and have given us the high taxes, the regulations, some of the worst schools in the country, Baltimore’s high murder rate each year, and a host of other problems. Yet, we simply turn right around and vote them back into office every election - wondering why we do not get things fixed!

     Have a great day!
