We need a better term for ‘Amnesty’

Filed under: Uncategorized — schweggie @ 6:35 pm

There are still too many positive connotations the word Amnesty in regards to the new immigration deal, and we need to think of a more accurate term. I’m thinking, “Free Ride”. Or “Get out of jail free card”?

Give me some more.

My sentiments exactly…

Better get dibs on good real estate in Central America while it’s still available. I ask a question mirroring what Reagan said that he did not leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left him. My question is, am I leaving the United States, or has the United States left me? Oh sure, I’m not going anywhere, but the thoughts are there thinking about how far down the drain this country has already gone. And, this is only the beginning I’m sad to say.

The GOP and Me: On the Outs

Sorry, folks. I’ve hung in there as long as possible with this President. I’ve fought and re-fought stupid battles with many friends and family backing him and standing behind the military. I still do (although I am becoming convinced more each day that Bush has very little control or influence over the Iraq war anymore.) I can’t for the life of me understand why we haven’t been bombing the border regions between Iran and Iraq since 2003, but maybe Bush thinks Iran flooding the country with weapons, terrorists and funding for the insurgency just isn’t something that needs to be stopped.

Stripping the financial penalty for back taxes from ILLEGAL ALIENS, however, is too much to stomach. If I had some outstanding back taxes, I would likely be designated a criminal by our wonderful system, and would have my LEGAL, LAW ABIDING life destroyed in the blink of an eye (on the flip-side, maybe being a criminal and breaking laws would get me free health care, education and tax relief under this Congress!)

Really Matt? Is that really true? You want to know simple and effective ways to save energy? Are you some fucking moron?

Oh look! A link to your new movie! Golly!  A little cross marketing quid pro quo. So dumb.

Man this ‘going green’ shit is getting on my last nerve.

No! Say it ain’t so! Anywhere but Target!

The Target Foundation (formerly known as the Dayton Hudson Foundation) was established in 1946 by the Target Corporation, which is a founding member of the “Five Percent Club,” a movement encouraging U.S. corporations to commit five percent of their federally taxable income to support community nonprofits. Identifying its mission as “to support social services and the arts,” this Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on organizations based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area of Minnesota, most notably its inner-city neighborhoods. Grants, which range from about $5,000 to $100,000 apiece, are also awarded in areas of company operations (Target Stores, Mervyn’s, and/or Marshall Field’s), which includes locations across the continental United States.

Target Foundation philanthropy is divided into two principal areas:

(a) Arts: “We support programs and cultural organizations that promote visibility and accessibility at a community level.”

(b) Social Services: The Foundation seeks to “provide support for programs that address the basic needs of individuals or families at risk by providing shelter, food and clothing.”

The Capital Research Center, which was established in 1984 to study nonprofit organizations and to rate them along an ideological spectrum, classifies the Target Foundation as “radical left.”

In addition to many local grantees, Target has also made recent grants to the: National Council of La Raza; the Mexican American Legal Defense & Education Fund; the National Organization for Women Legal Defense & Education Fund; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense & Education Fund; the National Urban League; the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy; the Center for Asians and Pacific Islanders; YouthLink; the YWCA; the Kulture Klub Collaborative; StreetWorks; the Neighborhood Justice Center; Planned Parenthood; Chicanos Latinos Unidos En Servicio; and the National Leadership Coalition on AIDS.
