Not that the Civil War was foe verus the US, but it was two sides of the country with Lincoln as President taking a side and that resulted in war. There were ways to have resolved the issues of the day but one side found itself disadvantaged by having the President against it.

Presidents represent ALL the people and not special interest groups, especially racist ones as Obama supports. Anytime the Preisent takes sides the result will always be civil war.

This is what happens when a hate-filled anti-American goon is elected by George Soros and his marxists allies. The Barking Obama and George are enemies of America and they have the reins of power.

Obama is an enemy of the America we want. He does his utmost to destroy American values, economy, defense, and power. He must be impeached as soon as we get a Republican House of Representatives.

The author, Andrew McCarthy was the lawyer who successfully prosecuted the Sheik who masterminded the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 (together with his cohorts).

He's in danger not only from terrorists who want revenge, but also from the left.

PRES TEDDY ROOSEVELT: "There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag....... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

2008 McCains' Hispanic Outreach Coordinator, Juan Hernandez, Fort Worth, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, and past member of Vicente Fox’s Mexican government, is as open borders as you can get.

McCain said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. Hernandez actually served as a cabinet member in the Mexican Government. McC sucked up to amnesty-pusher Hernandez (as Americans woke up to 5 million toxic mortgages fraudulently doled out to illegals that poisoned our economy forever).

McCain's Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez stated on national television that he is for the North American Union, and the “Amero” to replace the dollar within 10 years or so.

Hernandez believes all illegal Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." Hernandez' book urges illegal alien invaders to become settlers in the USA for Reconquista---the Mexican plan to take back the SW.

========================================

Hernandez actually served as a cabinet member in the Mexican Government. Juan Hernandez was born in Dallas and decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last verifiable job was serving in Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director." Hernandez then worked for Bush hater George Soros' international foundations---(one such foundation published Hernendez's book that taunts Americans).

===================================================

Michele Malkin article April 29, 2010-----Mexican Dual citizen Juan Hernandez, Fort Worth, has put together Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform ...... described as a “loose coalition” of conservatives started about a year ago to have a private conversation about immigration reform.

Conservatives for CIR is going public. A number of evangelical and business leaders were on a conference call, including former Bush 43 Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was supposed to be on the call, but he had a conflict.

Calderon is intent on (1) his Azatlan ambitions to undermine US national security by grabbing US Territory, and, (2) foreign aid extortion.

THE FOREIGN AID SCAM. Make Americans feel guilty....so that the billions of tax dollars to Mexico can begin (Calderon will be living like the Sultan of brunei---mayme Mrs Calderon can get a new dress rather than that recycled rag she wore to the WH.

Get set to watch Obama extort US taxpayers for billions to bail out poverty-stricken Mexico----using our tax dollars to buy illegals' votes for endangered Dems.

========================================

EDITORIAL The Mexico model What, Washington doesn’t have enough two-faced politicians, so it needs to import some? In the capital for a state visit last week, Mexican President Felipe Calderon repeatedly teed off on the new Arizona law that makes illegal immigration a state crime and requires aliens to show documentation should a cop request it. At a Rose Garden press conference, Calderon moaned that many immigrants “still live in the shadows, and at times, like in Arizona, face discrimination.” Addressing Congress, he said the law “introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement.”

Then Calderon went on CNN. Asked Wolf Blitzer: “If people want to come [into Mexico] from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they can just walk in?” “No,” responded Calderon. “They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they [don’t have] a criminal [record].” “Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?” asked Blitzer. “Of course,” said Calderon. “If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America,” continued Blitzer, “they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job?” “No, no,” Calderon replied. “If somebody [does] that without permission, we send back — we send them back.”

Wow. Too bad he wasn’t so candid with Congress. Not that he’s wrong on the merits. If national boundaries are to have anything beyond notional meaning, they must be enforced. The federal government refuses to do this — hence the Arizona law. At week’s end, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was backing up the head of the Immigration and Customs Service — who said that he might not deport illegals detained under that statute. “ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel,” said Napolitano. “It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport.” Mexico has similar discretion, obviously — but it isn’t nearly so squeamish about enforcing its laws. It’s called self-respect, and it’s sadly lacking in the Obama administration immigration policy.

=======================================

REFERENCE Mexican President Felipe Calderon can hardly contain his revulsion and rage against Arizona’s SB 1070. He’s "deeply troubled" over a law he denounces as "discriminatory and racist," not to mention “a dire threat to the whole Hispanic-American population." This new Arizona law "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement," sputters the Mexican President.

Indeed, this “threat to Hispanics” and these “abuses in law enforcement," have been ongoing for years. AP reported that Maria Elena Gonzalez said female migrants were “forced to strip by abusive male Mexican police officers, supposedly to search them, but the purpose was to sexually abuse them." Jose Ramos, 18, reported “that extortion by Mexican border police occurs at every stop on their migratory route. Until migrants are left penniless and begging for food.”

According to AP: “Others said they had seen migrants beaten to death by Mexican police, their bodies left near the railway tracks to make it look as if they had fallen from a train. "If you're carrying any money, the Mexican police take it from you," said Carlos Lopez. "Federal, state, local Mexican police--all of them shake you down. If you're on a bus, Mexican police pull you off and search your pockets, and if you have any money, the Mexican police keep it all and say, get out of here.” Mexican Police shake down motorists on bogus traffic stops so regularly it is like going through a toll - money paid right there on the spot or your car gets impounded.

All of the above “hate” and “abuses in law enforcement” as reported by the Associated Press, befell Central American migrants who enter Mexico. (Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com

To me, the scary part of all this is that the Republican Party has no intentions of questioning Obama’s right to the Office of President.

IMO, they are as solidly behind this collapse of America as the Democrats are because of their inaction to verify the facts about Obama.

Let us pray:

Psalm109:8

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Can I get an amen to that?

“It has occurred to me for some time now that the nation is headed for a split. The world views of the left and right are irreconcilable. The question is when will this occur and will it be done through violence or will the two sides be willing to say adios and go their own way.”

The left has a pathological need to dominate and control. When in power, they will not even allow diversity of thought or verbal opposition. In this way they are much like Islamists. A separation will not be done peacefully. The left will try to use force to secure their world view and a separate, free, new United States would be like Jews to the Muslim terrorists.
