Questions & responses/Mayor Womack running for U.S. Congress
Yes, you may share my responses.
On the subject of enforcement, I can only give you my
opinion. First, most city officials are so overloaded with normal
"stuff'...they just don't have time/take the time to investigate options
on matters normally reserved (by that, I mean traditionally reserved) by
federal officials. Illegal immigration enforcement is one of those.
Second, most city officials run from the threat of litigation. It's
expensive and time consuming. Local officials have a much easier course
of action--blame it on the Feds. It has worked. Third, a high
percentage of local officials have liberal tendencies and while they may not be
for "open borders", they sure act like they are.
I'm cut a little differently. It is probably the
military in me. I believe in the rule of law--and it was obvious to me
that our country was under "attack" from a non-English speaking,
unskilled, and largely uneducated population that did not respect our laws nor
our values/traditions. I saw the opportunity with 287(g) and sought
it. I faced opposition from sympathetic groups, etc, but because 287(g)
was a federal program, I thought "What the heck? who can fault me
for pusuring a program authorized by Congress? And, if they sued me, what
would it be for?"
I can't begin to tell you the pressure I got from a number
of individuals and groups. But my default setting was always back to
this:
1. Was it right (to ignore the laws of this country)?
2. Was the program I was pursuing purposed in solving
the dilemma--and was it litigation-proof?
3. Would our city embrace it?
To our credit, even despite the efforts to shoot me down,
our city was successful and it did not take very long (a few days) for Springdale
and the Wash/Benton County Sheriff's offices to jump on. Why? To
me, the answer was clear---because they knew illegals would leave Rogers and
displace to their areas. Simple.
You did not write to get a thesis on this subject. But
it is important for people to know the context of what I have done, why I have
done it, and more than anything--that I have the courage to lead.
This subject/issue is complicated for sure. There's
much more that could/should be done to protect our borders. Honestly,
there is likely no better time than now to reach some consensus on the way
forward--given that 6 people are "looking" for every job that is
open. When unemployment is low and jobs are aplenty, rank and file
Americans are not so predisposed to taking a stand. Right now, it
"ain't" that way.
All I want is a "seat at the table" when Congress
takes this issue on. As I said before, if we don't address it now, we'll
be having this discussion again--and the problem will have grown. America
does not need that.

Mayor,
Thank you so much for your studied
reply. Needless to say it is refreshing to ever hear a politician answer
questions directly.
Would it be all right with you if I
share this response with some other interested citizens?
Again, many thanks,
Joe
P.S. Would you be so kind as to
tell me why no officials cite or enforce federal immigration laws under 8
USC….aiding, abetting, transporting, hiring illegals a felony punishable by
jail & fines, plus all law enforcement officers are authorized &
obligated to arrest illegals and illegal employers??? No official has
ever answered that question that I know of.

Joe:
Sorry
for the delay. I know that you have been out of town and I trust your
travels were safe.
In
response to your questions, here are my answers:
1.
I am opposed to amnesty.
2.
I believe I have already enunciated a position on the "invasion" you
describe--in leading by example. I am the only candidate in the field
with a proven record on the subject. I championed the effort in
Rogers--the first city in Arkansas--to seek affiliation and implement the
287(g) program in our local police department. It has been a
"model" program according to ICE leadership. My understanding
is that >1,000 criminal aliens have been deported as a result of this
program. I understand the impact of illegal immigration. As mayor, I have
witnessed the impact on our public schools, health care, and the social
infrastructure of a community. When a Rogers Police Officer was nearly
killed by an illegal immigrant, I sought solutions to the problem. The
287(g) program was, in my judgment, the only legitimate way of addressing the
situation without subjecting our city to almost certain expensive and
timeless litigation like other American communities had endured. And
when the issue surfaced in public meetings, there were no senators,
representatives, retired generals, or lawyers there defending me. I had
the courage to act on my own. Fortunately, my City Council was fully
supportive and over three years into the program, I believe the results speak
for themselves. In Congress, I will continue to demonstrate leadership on
this issue.
3.
I am not beholding to anyone. My platform is based on conservative values
for our nation. I welcome support for those who wish to send me to
Washington for that purpose. I welcome your support. As a
pro-business conservative, I expect to receive financial support from
business. I believe my record of economic development in the City of
Rogers ($1+ billion in development without raising taxes) will attract support
from the business community. I will work in Congress to advocate for
legislation/initiatives that help create jobs for the American worker.
With six people unemployed for every job opening, I believe job creation is
among our highest priorities as a nation. Probably THE highest priority.
On
the subject of illegal immigration, I will continue to demand:
1.
Our border is sealed.
2.
The flow of benefits to illegal immigrants is stopped.
3.
Our Congress must work toward immigration reform.
If
we do not accomplish the aforementioned, we will be having this discussion ten
years from now and the scale of the issue will not be 12-20 million illegals,
it will be 20-30 million or 30-40 million, etc. Keeping the status quo is
a victory for the "open borders" crowd, not you and me. You
mentioned the Eisenhower program of the 1950s. My understanding is that
this effort resulted in the deportation of 1 million =/- illegal
immigrants. The scale of the issue today is many times greater. I
am deeply concerned that this issue--if not now, certainly very soon--will be
like the banks that were "too big to fail." The issue will
simply become "too large to fix."

Congressional Dist.
Rogers, Arkansas
Mayor Womack,
March 3, 2010
A question or so regarding your political
positions.
Without vacillation or disclaimers, I would like to
know your very specific positions on the following: You are obviously very
aware of 8 USC and its numerous subsections.
1.If elected to congress will you vote for or against amnesty in any form
for the estimated 25-35 million illegal Mexicans and OTM’s now nesting in our
republic?
It has been said that you do not believe deportation
can be achieved. I remind you that it was accomplished by President
Eisenhower and looking at subsection 1324a of 8 USC, a few well placed arrests
will terminate the illegal alien crisis.
2.Are you going to enunciate in a specific manner your position regarding
the illegal alien invasion and the huge costs placed on the backs of taxpaying
citizens, eg. Education, health, legal, food, incarcerations, translators, ad
infinitum.
3.Are you in any way politically beholding to the Tyson’s, Walton’s,
George’s, Simmons, OK Foods, et al?
Will look forward to hearing from you in the near
term.

How will candidates for Sheriff respond to questions re illegal alien invasion?
Chief
Deputy Sheriff Tommy YoungMarch
9, 2010
I am not aware of your position paper which would
enunciate your stand on the critical issues facing our republic.
Therefore;
I am posing some questions which I would appreciate very specific answers:
1.Your position on the illegal
alien Mexican & OTM invasion occurring in Sebastian County.
2.Your plans to deal with:
a.Gangs
b.Drug distribution centers
c.Those companies &
corporations hiring illegals
1.It should be mentioned here
that the present Sheriff Frank Atkinson, of which you are an integral part of
his administration, had involvements with at least 2 criminal operations, i.e.
OK Foods and the illegal’s which said firm employs re Sebastian County Sheriff
Department’s officers & equipment furnishing protection (citizen taxpayers
were cordoned off), traffic control, use of public facilities, cleanup, etc.
for OK Foods picnic at Ben Geren Park for some 2,500 -3,000 illegal alien
Mexican & OTM workers.
2.An FOIA request was
submitted to Atkinson and you Deputy Young stated the sheriff’s office did not
keep records pertaining to those events.How then did you know how much to pay deputies overtime and how to
charge for vehicular and other equipment used?Why & how were Greenwood public school buses utilized?
3.In my opinion, this was a
gross abuse of the sheriff’s department, the rule of law and the taxpayers’
monies.
4.Your position on 8 USC,
Section 1324a, and absolutely & most particularly 1324c….followed by
Section 1644.
d.Identity theft
e.Amendment 2…the right of the
individual to bear arms.
Tommy,
times have changed and a person seeking elective office, especially the most
powerful law enforcement office in our republic, which as you know supersedes
federal law enforcement, can no longer campaign on nebulous non-binding statements.
“It’s the Feds responsibility” excuse is no longer acceptable.
I
will appreciate your honest transparency on the above questions that are so
vital to the stability, heritage, culture, and rule of law of our republic.
How will the next Sebastian County Sheriff respond to the growing illegal alien invasion.
Deputy
Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck,March
9, 2010
I
perused your website and read a number of eloquent statements by the Founders
and perhaps others regarding leadership, aspirations, selflessness, teamwork,
etc. but I did not see a position paper which would enunciate your stand on the
critical issues facing our republic.
Therefore;
I am posing some questions which I would appreciate very specific answers:
1.Your position on the illegal
alien Mexican & OTM invasion occurring in Sebastian County.

Bill,
times have changed as you noted on your website, and a person seeking elective

which as you know supersedes federal law enforcement, can no longer campaign on
“vision, cooperation” and other nebulous non-binding statements. “It’s the Feds
responsibility” excuse is no longer acceptable.
I
will appreciate your honest transparency on the above questions that are so
vital to the stability, heritage, culture, and rule of law of our republic.
Politicians, bureaucrats,
& the rest of the government establishment—are you arrogant, ignorant,
stupid, opportunists, or just buffoons?
A case can be made for all of the above.
The responsibility for all
the above rests with foolish voters not paying attention and purposely academically
challenged, compliments of the government school system, formerly known as
public schools, the one that teaches our kids to cheat, i.e. grade inflation
instigated by administrators instructing the teachers to ease up on course work,
in addition to a boatload of citizen naïveté.
The whole of the U.S. is in
Intensive Care, no evidence to support recovery from its economic depression—no,
not recession.
Thousands of Arkansas
citizens have lost or are losing their jobs, struggling to hold the family unit
together, many holding down multiple jobs, while so-called “public servants”
squander and steal taxpayer dollars cavalierly in multiple nefarious ways.
One monumental concern:
elective officials and government employees being awarded pay raises, especially
in times of economic crisis, when in reality government should be reduced
across the board by at least 50%. (Most are nonessential and unconstitutional)The
audacity of those with government involvements now giving and getting raises
and benefits, while stealing from the producers who generate the funds
necessary to keep the criminal government behemoth afloat.
The above raises, in conjunction
with government unions, i.e. teachers, postal, etc. juxtaposed with non-elective
boards, commissions, fact-finders, etc. all unduly influence unconstitutional
legislation, rules, and regulations on all fronts.Government unions and commissions must be abolished.Elected officials should be doing any
legitimate work done by commissions to assure oversight.There could be some exceptions.
Example: The Fort Smith city
government awarded a 2.5 % pay raise to its bloated workforce, while
campaigning for new taxes and city government expansion via federal programs
implemented by the American & City Planning Commission.There are hundreds of these type commissions
with nebulous sounding names that are dedicated to stealing citizens’ rights
and properties. “Quality of Place” is
just one example that the Fort Smith city government has embarked upon.
Planning Commissions are unelected, hugely powerful, feed off taxpayer money, virtually
no oversight and are embarked upon a goal to destroy sovereignty, all under the
aegis of Agenda 21, the umbrella for all the nice sounding “Green City Compacts”,
the most common one, “Sustainable Development”.
The above are examples of
political/bureaucratic arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, opportunism and/or buffoonery:
Crawford County: hiring new
employees on the say so of some judge campaigning for reelection while giving
raises to 10 county employees. Obscene.
The 70 Percenter, Governor Mike Beebe (alleged
70% approval rating) has hired (vote buying?) over 2,500 new government slugs
during his gubernatorial term (2 ½ yrs).
Turn attention to the Arkansas
state legislature. 18 state representatives and 2 state senators spent in excess
of $1 million on frivolous trips, many outright vacations, 9 of the 20 have
government employment backgrounds…can you say government schools? All told the state’s 135 legislators collected
a grand total of $5.4 million in travel expenses and extras in 2009. These numbers keep skyrocketing year after year.
Examples of parasitic
arrogance include House Education Committee Chairman, Bill Abernathy (D. Mena),
a retired school teacher. He logged in at $56,592 in 2009 while complaining “in
the end it’s not that financially rewarding to serve”.
The biggest parasite of all
is Senator Jimmy Jeffress (D. Crossett), a retired school teacher. Jeffress
spent $60,092 in 2009.Jeffress stated “he’s
never really checked whether it would be cheaper for him to fly or drive his
vehicle”.“What if I did check it out to
see, I’m still going to drive, no matter what”.
Jeffress also said “I would like for my wife to go with me and we take some of
our grandchildren with us because they have these wonderful programs”.
Brother Senator Gene Jeffress
(D. Louann), a retired school teacher, was number 7 on the dirty 20 list.Sen. Gene blew $53,949 on travel.
The dirty 20 should write a
new “Gulliver’s Travels” book.The lack
of integrity or remorse is stunning.
Now to the biggest criminal
enterprise, the already alluded to government school system .Comes word from Superintendent Benny Gooden
that Fort Smith needs a new high school.Gooden declares “since 2001 there has been a 150 student per year
increase”.No word on the demographics,
i.e. who are these students?Can it not
be concluded that third world Mexicans and other Hispanics make up the vast
majority of Gooden’s projections, if so, why aren’t they deported?As you may recall, Gooden made the statement
some years ago “we’ll take all we can get”, referring to illegals and children
of illegals; conclusion, more government expansion, i.e. more money.Observe the social, educational,
correctional, health, and economic mess, including proliferation of gangs and
the drug culture
The 150 student per year
proliferation appears to be an out of control illegal immigration invasion,
coupled with corrupt elected and appointed officials.
Inquire of elected officials
why they are awarding pay raises to government types and personally enriching
themselves. It will indeed be interesting
to see if the Fort Smith school board awards Superintendent Gooden with another
obscene salary increase, if so it would be even more interesting to hear their
explanation.
Example of the top-down
destruction of our republic by all governments is the treatment of the citizen
Tea Party movement, i.e. disregarded, vilified, exploited, and co-opted. Case in point, Grover Norquist, the darling
of “conservatives”, on the board of CPAC is actively campaigning for amnesty
for 25-35 million illegal Mexicans & OTM’s, accompanied by another counterfeit
“conservative” Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.).
The government genocidal
bulldozer churns on, unabated.
Obamacare Dr. McCutchen prescribes for ailing Sen. Lautenberg
To the Arkansas Six: (Senators Lincoln & Pryor,
Representatives Berry, Boozman, Ross & Snyder) March
3, 2010
Dr. McCutchen’s recommended treatment for Sen. Frank
Lautenberg’s (D-NJ) lymphoma via Obamacare: DRUG THERAPY ONLY.(see reason below)
Initially I prescribe one 5 gr ASA tid for one week. If that
does not satisfy his pain, I will then prescribe ibuprofen 800 mg. tid for one
week only.If the two above meds produce
a gastric ulcer, he can drink milk.No
H2 pumps will be available.After two
weeks if his condition further deteriorates I will prescribe Lorcet, generic
only—no brands under Obamacare, he prefers meds made in China, India, & Bangladesh.
I will prescribe 100 generic Lorcet and if this pain med does not heal his
lymphoma, the ole man is on his own, because he is over the hill, not
productive in any manner and besides Chemo is too expensive.
We thank Sen. Lautenberg for his decades of “public service”
which has all but destroyed our once vaunted republic, e.g. bankruptcy,
welfare, wars built on lies (Balkans & Iraq, & now Afghanistan &
Pakistan) and Israel-Firster Lautenberg wants to attack Iran.You know, it’s the American way—bombing the
hell out of sovereign nations who offer no threat to the U.S. in any way.The mantra of evangelicals and
Israel-Firsters is kill, kill, kill. And
it ain’t bad for the industrial/military complex, the only going business left
in the U.S.
Now back to chemotherapy:we can’t spend the money on Frank because we have two sick illegal
Mexicans who are down in their backs and can’t perform sexually, and besides
that, one is a chicken plucker and the other is hod-carrier in NW Arkansas and
both are badly needed.Arkansas and the
nation must continue the exploitation of illegals by such auspicious companies
like Tyson’s, OK Foods, Simmons, George’s et al. thereby creating a visionary
multicultural gulag.Open borders—that’s
the way to go & guarantees millions more illegal tresspassers, thereby
assuring more votes for the Marxist Democrat Party.
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot, you elected parasitic slugs in
the congress and senate have “Cadillac Healthcare” and the ole deceiver
Lautenberg will probably be around another decade…damn the bad luck!
Are you six foolish enough to vote for any form for that
Marxist/Socialist Obama’s takeover of American healthcare?We shall soon see.
You six are doing a helluva job destroying our
Constitution/country.
Bravo to Jerry Hamel for expressing American citizens’
concerns/anger regarding runaway government spending, corruption and expansion.
He described Fort Smith government in particular.As the city’s citizens are experiencing their
jobs being outsourced, insourced, replaced by illegal aliens, retail stores,
restaurants closing, manufacturers down-sizing, shuttering or moving out of town/country,
the government gurus illogically, callously, unconstitutionally pursue projects
that are not the proper function of government and neglect the ones that are. (e.g.
sewers, streets, law enforcement)
Hamel names the proposed “prepared food” tax (while
restaurants are closing) and increased numbers lining up at the Food Bank,
unable to afford groceries much less eat out. Meanwhile utopian city plans (no citizen vote)
professional baseball team stadium, aquatic center, annexing economic loser Ben
Geren Park, building downtown “attractions”, all of which benefit only
government employees and the usual contractors who construct such projects. Consider
also the scantily used, bloated transit system economic fiasco.
Do these “leaders” live in a vacuum? Don’t they eat at
struggling restaurants, drive over awful, substandard streets, past empty
buildings everywhere; take notice of and action about illegal aliens and their
destruction of neighborhoods, their use/abuse of infrastructure, schools,
healthcare, welfare, criminal gangs running the streets, identity theft, and
other crimes?
Why are illegals entitled to so much more than legal
taxpaying citizens who foot the bills?Free healthcare, freedom from enforcement of existing laws (8 USC)
against harboring, aiding, abetting, or hiring illegals, while citizens better “click
it or ticket” and pay the exorbitant unfair taxes laid upon them or else!
All citizens need to be loudly vocal or these injustices
will not only continue but continue to grow. Vote out all incumbents who
promote additional burdens and freedom-killing projects advanced by socialist U.N./federal
globalist local-level programs, such as “Quality of Place”, i.e. anything called
“sustainable”.
Neo-conservative Vampires are baaaack! Who are they?
The Neo-Conservative
Vampires are back—this time sucking the life out of the Tea Party Movement—preparing
for a return to power after the disastrous Obama reign.
Patriots must not fall for their evil schemes, draped in
patriotism/religion again if there is to be any hope left of restoring our
Republic.They sound wonderfully Constitutional
and/or religious most of the time, but give themselves away on certain
subjects….learn to identify them. Never forget Lenin’s famous phrase which
embodies the Neo-Con Cultural Marxist favorite technique, “The best way to
control the opposition is to lead it ourselves”.
Clever neo-cons have distinct positions which reveal their
agendas, here are some:
1.“War on terror” subterfuge that their mentor Leo
Strauss called “eternal war for eternal peace” junk psychology, reminiscent of
the Doublethink (simultaneously believing in 2 opposite concepts) such as
“ignorance is knowledge” & “freedom is slavery” described in the novel
1984.Giving up our rights
in the name of freedom - This is possibly the most relevant aspect of
doublethink in our society today. With Orwellian surveillance on every corner
and legislation like 'The Patriot Acts' & The Military Commissions Act
(suspension of Habeas Corpus), et al we are being asked to give up the very
freedoms that 'The War on Terror' is alleged to protect, in the name of
freedom.The heinous act of torture
being promoted as “good or necessary” is part & parcel of this vicious
attack on our Constitutional rule of law, individual rights and civilization.
2.Israel
must be protected at all costs (the blood & treasure of the U.S. and those
of countries we attack), but of course the neo-cons never don a bloody combat
uniform!
3.The U.S. must use military force to shape the
world and force other sovereign nations to do its biding, in order to “protect
ourselves”….and of course enrich the military/industrial/banking complex.
4.Those patriot citizens who question Obama’s
birthplace and Constitutional right to be elected president are kooks. (Birthers)
5.Those patriot citizens who question the truth
regarding the government’s version of 911 are Kooks.(Truthers)Add OKC, Waco, Ruby Ridge, et al.
6.They defend the use of martial law in case of a
perceived “emergency”.
7.They deny the existence of FEMA camps &
preparations to silence dissidents.
8.Most ignore or simply give lip service to open
borders/illegal immigration, as well as the amount & types of legal
immigration.Many are ardent supporters
of illegal immigration.
9.They insist that the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on our
intelligence ship the USS Liberty was a case of "mistaken identity."
Leo Strauss (neo-con mentor) and Saul Alinsky (the
Progressives’/neo-libs’ mentor) had a lot in common, mainly that the Elite must
rule over the ignorant masses….handed down from Plato.
Our Founders were followers of the Enlightenment (Individual
rights & responsibilities)…handed down from Aristotle.And the conflict rages on to this day, with
Aristotle seldom winning obviously.
If we are to survive the onslaughts of the Neo-Liberals
(Progressives/Democrats) and the Neo-Conservatives (Establishment Republicans)
we must expose them on every occasion possible and prevent their receiving
patriots’ funds and support. Patriots know who the Progressives are, but they
are quite vulnerable to the siren calls of the Neo-con Vampires, many now
infiltrating the Tea Parties.
Since they are so
good at what they do and so convincing, let us compile a list of their names,
publications, organizations, etc. so that innocent citizens no longer fall for their
rhetoric or their agendas, and let us circulate it everywhere as a tool for
recognition.This is a work in progress
and your input is more than welcome.

Last evening, Feb. 25, 2010, Detective George Lawson was
interviewed by CBS channel 5 regarding illegal drug trafficking in Fort Smith
& environ. Not a word in the local newspaper today. When arrests
are made for various offenses and the perpetrators are found to be illegal, why
is the public generally not made aware of their status?
Det. Lawson explained that the illegal drugs and their
carriers had their genesis in Mexico and said drugs entering our city are on
the increase; indicating that this perhaps could be Mexican National drug
distribution center. I believe that the distribution center was said, but
I could be wrong on that statement.
I am particularly interested in why you gentlemen, elected
and hired, refuse to discuss the illegal Mexican invasion both in persons,
illegal drugs, and any number of other illegal issues?
You all treat the issue of illegal immigration as a “third
rail” as it applies to the landscape of social services and illegal activities,
but importantly the negative marks it is making on our children, schools,
neighborhoods, jobs, law enforcement, healthcare…the latest example, the
Mexican government demanding that UAMS educate and expand medical services to
illegal Mexican nationals.
Why haven’t you, as a body, contacted numerous state and
federal officials regarding the devastation being saddled on citizens?
Are you protecting those businesses & corporations hiring illegals?
Are you fearful, if so, of what? Are you so engrossed in Political
Correctness that you refuse to uphold existing laws, namely 8 USC immigration
laws? (you have been sent copies several times)
Your silence on the issues of drug trafficking, gangs, human
trafficking, identity theft, incarceration, etc. does not generate the trust
and confidence of citizens.
How about some honest, open discussion on the subject of
illegal immigration and its effects on our community without using the worn-out
canard, “it’s a federal responsibility”.

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman
College of Public Health and the Mexican Consulate in Little Rock will announce
a partnership today to bring better public health initiatives and educational
programs to Mexicans living in Arkansas.
Speakers for the 10:00 a.m. event at UAMS will include Andres Chao, Consul of
Mexico; Jim Raczynski, Ph.D., dean of the College of Public Health; and UAMS
Chancellor Dan Rahn.
The UAMS College of Public Health and the Mexican Consulate established the
Ventanillas de Salud, or Health Window Program, earlier this year with an
$80,961 grant awarded by the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas
in December 2009.
The Mexican government wants to ensure the partnership with UAMS is extended to
provide health information and screenings to Mexicans living in Arkansas.
Who is steering the pathetic ship of state known as
Arkansas? The 70 Percenter Beebe, the feckless legislature, Boobus
Arkanicus, or Mexico?
Here is that word “partnership” that politicians and bureaucrats
use to make fools of taxpaying citizens, government being the CEO and the
producing citizens paying the bills.
The above 4 paragraph rant has any number of constitutional
violations, likewise violations of existing laws. (8 USC & subsections)
The Mexican Consulate is here in violation of Article I, Section
10 of the U.S. Constitution, compliments of former Gov. Mike Huckabee and the
feckless legislature.
At the end of this news release Mexico is demanding unending
numbers of services for the hundreds of thousands of illegals in
Arkansas. This in addition to the numerous mandated and non-mandated
benefits flowing to illegal aliens, with Arkansas state employees dancing to
their attention.
Beebe is perfectly content in allowing the Mexican hordes to
overrun the citizens of the state. Beebe deflects criticism by hunkering
down and declaring “it’s the job of the feds”. Gov. Beebe….that is a
bald-faced lie. Every state is sovereign and has the constitutional duty
to secure its borders.
By the way Governor, can you and the likes of the Jeffress
brothers and the antique dealer from Jonesboro Ray Kidd, and a multitude of
others, tell your constituents how many children (promptly becoming Anchor
Babies, i.e. American citizens) have been born to illegal Mexican women and
OTM’s since the inception of the bill passed by the fools in the legislature,
the former Gov. Huckabee and you as Attorney General. Anchor babies can
receive welfare until age 21 and can bring in their immediate families.
All paid for by taxpayers.
In the final analysis we have only ourselves to blame, Boobus
Arkanicus for electing parasitic, unethical people to important positions for
decades.
To the Fort Smith Mayor, City Manager, & Board ofDirectors
“QUALITY OF PLACE”, i.e. “Urban Renewal in Drag”.February 17,2010
A quick definition of Urban Renewal, which made the Ft.Smith scene in the ‘60’s, put to a vote and was severely defeated.Simply put, Urban Renewal was governmentrestoring and acquiring private property, obviously exploiting taxpayers’ (producers)dollars, precisely what is happening in Ft. Smith today and on a proposedgrander scale “Quality of Place”—expansion of city government both in programsand employees resulting in larger government, more control, i.e. rules ®ulations, & more taxpayer dollars printed out of thin air. Damn the torpedoes,on to D.C. to lobby for more.
City officials have received numerous complaints from meregarding Fort Smith endeavors and proposed endeavors that are not the properfunction of government.
I received a response from Director Campbell who indicates “Qualityof Place” is neither an international operation nor a federal governmententerprise.Corrections are in order.“Quality of Place” is no small governmentdeal; it can only be described as a huge encroachment into the lives andproperty of private citizens.Examplesfollow;
1.Director Campbell cited a Dr. Richard Florida asthe progenitor of “Quality of Place”, not so. That is not to say he has not been veryinfluential, up until recently, in his efforts to promote “Quality of Place”.“Quality of Place” is proliferating inSocialist U.K. & Canada and if citizens are not informed quickly, same canbe said of Socialist America.
2.From an article appearing in the Toronto Star,by Richard Lautens, Dr. Florida states regarding cities; “I make it reallyexotic”, also “Dr. Florida’s “CREATIVE CITY” depends on ghost people,working behind the scenes, Immigrants and people of color”, and “he’s therelocation agent for the global bourgeoisie”. Simply stated, Florida’s proposedendeavors create a new special class of Americans, i.e. “KNOWLEDGE WORKERS”.Everything revolves around the wishes of the “KNOWLEDGEWORKERS” (the perceived Elitists) needs alleged to be on a different planethan average city residents.Floridagoes on to state, “future economic health for cities relies on broad-brushstroke boosterism of creative professionals, Bohemianism, Cosmopolitanism, andDiversity, and the cities that don’t embrace will be left in a death-spiral ofpost-industrial decay.”Spoken like atrue Socialist Utopian Elitist.Myquestion: How did Americans achieve global preeminence without embracing thisgovernment Socialist philosophy of Marx, Hegel, Lenin, Strauss, Alinsky &Florida?
3.U of T professor Mark Kingwell writings describeFlorida’s public academic career as “Oddly Hucksterish”.Dr. Florida is the founder of the new “CreativeClass Group” and he is a product of the Pittsburg Mellon’s and theHeinz Foundation.
From the “New Republic” 2/3/10….”Quality of Placesare those neighborhoods and communities that have a range of housing types sothat people who live in small households or on tight budgets aren’t excluded;many transportation options, so that cars are a convenience, but not anecessity; and houses, stores, and offices intersperse and within easy reach ofeach other so that daily life doesn’t require getting behind the wheel”.
“Government involvement under the heading of Quality ofPlace has created Sustainable Communities Initiatives which deals with housing,transportation, and other INVESTMENTS’ (?), and the neighborhood revitalizationefforts.The government deems this asanother Quality of Place initiative, Choice Neighborhood Program,forming a nexus between public, private, and non-profit entities that work inconcentrated poverty and public housing arena.”
More specifically, “Quality of Place” demands that districtscreate investment strategies identifying assets like historic downtowns,working waterfronts, designed and encouraged to receive preferential fundingfrom federal & state grant programs. (Think Sicard, Griffin, Westphal, HUD,et al)
Back to Richard Florida’s Utopian Quality of Placesingularly catering to the new class of “KNOWLEDGE WORKERS” andtheir alleged inherent and acquired demands. Some of their demands stated byFlorida:
1.“Amenities: Quality of Place—particularly thevariety and accessibility of natural, recreational, and life-style amenities”.Florida treats the “new class” as if it were an endangered species as if theirdesires were more special than average citizens.
2.“A blend of work and leisure. He says “KNOWLEDGEWORKERS” seek environments that allow them to blend rather than separatetheir work & leisure”.
3.“A Sense of Place:KNOWLEDGE WORKERSare particularlydrawn to areas that feature interesting old structures, a range of publicspaces, a blend of personal & commercial space, and the bustle and buzz ofvaried activities including work, shopping and entertainment.”
4.“Active Lifestyle:KNOWLEDGE WORKERS prefer doing towatching.” The KNOWLEDGE WORKERS hold Creativity and innovation as thekey success factors of the new economy”.(Hasn’t this always been the case?)
Dr. Richard Florida’s vision of how to achieve the “NEWECONOMY” is opposite to what the Founders advocated and which allowed ourcountry to achieve the highest standard of living in history. Florida wants agovernment takeover funded by the producers to provide for the demands of “KNOWLEDGE WORKERS”…hisvision is a mixture of Communism & Fascism vs. the Founder’s vision ofcompetition and responsibility for self.
The Fort Smith city government’s involvement in “Quality ofPlace” is nothing more than a proposed raw takeover of citizens’ lives and property,whether they understand or not. The city administration is making an expensivetrek to our nation’s capital seeking specific funding and funding for localprojects (?) from a federal government that is not only stone broke, but trillionsin debt, and these gentlemen want to place millions more debt on the backs ofAmerican families with no hope of the debts ever being paid—then what?
These schemes are not only un-American but absolutelyunconstitutional in every regard. Officials of government are in the samecategory as traditional welfare recipients.
