Bush is finally declared CRAZY: North American Union

Bush has finally crossed the line, well, about jumping 100 feet over it. This week President Bush has been meeting with Mexican and Canadian officials about solidifying the "North American Union".....



So instead of Mexico developing and paying for their own welfare system (BADLY NEEDED), why don't Americans just pay for it? I mean, we are already in excessive amounts of debt from the American welfare state that we can not afford, why don't we add more billions of billions of dollars on top of that by taking care of Mexico and Canada as well?! And while we are at it, after Bush ruins America by the time he is out of office, why don't we universalize health care too just to pour vinegar in the wounds with Obama or Hillary?

They love "change", but the only type of change they like is the kind that comes straight from the taxpayers pockets to fund their communist policies that will ruin America.

And if you want to see our recession really progress, support our awful amnesty-loving president (and Bush 2.0, aka McCain)

...God Bless America...

OBSESSION THE MOVIE

I am posing the entire movie OBSESSION from Youtube on here for anyone that was unable to make it to the Movie Screening we had this week.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

FrontPage Magazine Highlights UM YAF Chapter Participation in the National Radical Islam Awareness Week

The highly popular online FrontPage Magazine has highlighted the UM YAF Chapter for their participation in the National Radical Islam Awareness Week, or Islamo-fascism Week. The article link is below, and the UofM section is below as well (and very good!). It highlights the events going on at other campuses as well.

*Young Americans for Freedom, NOT Young America's Foundation
*Event will take place TOMORROW
(they are fixing these mistakes)

The University of Michigan

David Horowitz will be speaking at the University of Michigan tonight*. The campus chapter of Young America’s Foundation* will follow David’s speech tonight with a showing of Obsession on Thursday.

Sarah Ledford, a junior at UM, said YAF is working to host this week’s activities with the assistance of the College Republicans and Israel IDEA, the Israeli activist group on campus. Ledford said she first came to admire David Horowitz after reading his expose of academic malpractice, The Professors.

Ledford said she has tried to be sensitive toward the Detroit-area campus’ large Arab and Muslim population. Ledford described her approach as “extremely Politically Correct.” On campus, IFAW is being called National Radical Islam Awareness Week, “just to emphasize the difference.”

“I’ve been making it very clear to them that we’re only talking about radical Islam, how they’re twisting peaceful Islam to try to destroy the West, Israel, and America,” she said. “I’ve been consistent in telling people that we’re only talking about radicals. If they don’t listen, then they don’t care about our intentions; then they condemn what we’re saying because they disagree with us.”

The approach has won her few friends, though. MSA activists “really don’t like our group,” she stated. No stranger to controversy, the University of Michigan chapter of YAF brought ex-Muslim “infidel” Walid Shoebat to campus last February.

During last year’s IFAW, the group watched as MSA members attempted to sabotage the event. Radical Muslims and leftist activists wore colored shirts in solidarity with YAF’s alleged victims and flooded the room where IFAW speakers were gathered. “They took up seats so others couldn’t get in or see,” Ledford recalled. “We had to turn people away. Then they got up and walked out.” But she said non-leftist students are used to opposition on campus. “Since we’re a conservative group on campus, we’re not generally accepted. People call us a hate group and racists, etc.”

Ledford said she and other students have promoted the event to remind people of the tragedies extremist ideologies create. They covered campus with “stickers that they can’t peel off” that depict the Twin Towers with a grenade next to them. Near them is the slogan, “Be Aware of Radical Islam.” Ledford explained, “We’ve been trying to put the Twin Towers everywhere to remind people what this is all about.”

National Radical Islam Week at University of Michigan

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NATIONAL RADICAL ISLAM AWARENESS WEEK HOSTED BY YAF
Acclaimed Activist David Horowitz and Obsession Documentary Visit Campus


University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI

This week hundreds of University student groups across the nation will be sponsoring National Radical Islam Awareness Week. To promote the week at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the UM Young Americans for Freedom chapter will be bringing the acclaimed American foreign policy writer and activist David Horowitz to speak at the Modern Languages Building Wednesday April 9th. His controversial writings include Why are we in Iraq and Why some Americans Want us to Lose the War, and Unholy Alliance, Radical Islam and the American Left.

According to the Chair of Young Americans for Freedom, Engineering Junior Sarah Ledford, the focus of the campaign will be “to educate students about the genocidal agendas of the global jihadists and the fact that their radical ideas are far more main-stream in the Muslim world today than most Americans are willing to believe.”

Along with Horowitz, YAF will be showcasing the controversial documentary Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” the next night in the Natural Science Auditorium. This documentary, which TV host Glenn Beck describes as “without exaggeration one of the most important films of our time,” draws parallels between 1930s Nazi Germany and the current situation in the Middle East.

“We would like to expand the scope of discussion about the situation in the Middle East because this campus really only promotes one viewpoint on the subject. We consider Mr. Horowitz and Obsession to be excellent counters to the bias towards this War by students and many faculty members.”

In 2002, David Horowitz visited this University shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Over 1,000 students, administrators, and community members gathered to hear him speak about the jihadist threat to America. In addition the “Three Ex-Terrorists” event YAF hosted just last year brought much controversy due to the large liberal bias against YAF for being a conservative student group.

Ledford emphasizes, “The purpose of the week is not to degrade or insult the peaceful religion of Islam, but rather educate Americans of the extremists that are twisting the religion for their genocidal plan against Israel and the West.”

John Stossel Speaker Event

The UM College Libertarians, and YAF are working with SFE to bring in John Stossel, live and in person! (mustache included)...

Date: Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Time: 12:30pm - 2:00pm
Location: University of Michigan - Palmer Commons - Forum Hall
What: WHY SOCIALIZED MEDICINE STINKS

John Stossel joined the ABC news magazine, "20/20," in 1981. He began doing one-hour primetime specials in 1994.

Stossel's first special, "Are We Scaring Ourselves To Death?," examined exaggerated fears over risks such as crime and pollution. It was followed by "The Blame Game," which looked at Americans' growing tendency to blame their misfortunes on others.

He looked at gender differences in "Boys and Girls Are Different," the mechanics of mating in "Love, Lust, and Marriage," and the science behind happiness for "The Mystery of Happiness." He examined bogus lawsuits in "The Trouble With Lawyers" and bogus scientific claims in "Junk Science: What You Know That May Not Be So." "Freeloaders" focused on how getting "something for nothing" appeals to all of us, including rich people who use the power of government to help themselves. "Greed" offered a positive perspective on enlightened self-interest, challenging conventional wisdom on how we view businessmen, philanthropy and the social impact of such individuals as Michael Milken and Mother Teresa. Stossel openly questioned why Americans are routinely jailed for voluntarily participating in the so-called "consensual crimes" in "Sex, Drugs and Consenting Adults."

The specials, which have consistently rated among the top news programs when broadcast, have earned Stossel uncommon praise: "the most consistently thought-provoking TV reporter of our time" (Dallas Morning News), "has the gift for entertaining while saying something profound" (Orlando Sentinel).

Recently for "20/20," Stossel has reported on a case of alleged sexual misconduct at Brown University, on teens who suffer from Tourette's syndrome, on women -- some in apparently happy marriages -- who discover later in life that they are lesbians; and on why many Americans younger than 35 believe that the Social Security system will not exist when they face retirement. In a new segment for "20/20," "Give Me a Break," Stossel has taken skeptical looks at people who want to censor cartoons, regulate flagpoles, and have Congress rule on what prices are "fair."

Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards. He has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

In his early years at ABC, Stossel served as consumer editor at "Good Morning America." Prior to that, he was consumer editor for WCBS-TV in New York City. He began as a researcher for KGW-TV in Portland, Oregon. He is a 1969 graduate of Princeton University with a B.A. in psychology.

Message from Leon Drolet and the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance

Dear Fellow Ron Paul Supporter,

My name is Leon Drolet, a former Michigan State Representative and a veteran Ron Paul volunteer dating back to his 1996 run for Congress, who is thrilled with the momentum generated by Ron's presidential run. It stands as a sign that the American spirit has not been crushed by our dysfunctional political system.

If you are like me, then you are also wondering "what now"? How do we keep this momentum moving forward? What can we do to re-assert control over our wayward government?

I don't have all the answers. I don’t know how to get us out of the war or how to fix federal immigration policy. But I do know how we can fight for liberty locally, here in Michigan.

Politicians are primarily concerned about one thing - staying in office. They will not listen to us one bit until we can threaten their hold on power. That is why I founded the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance to fight the Lansing status quo. We knew that Granholm and her cronies would try to raise taxes, and we needed a way to fight back.

Despite our best efforts and all the logic in the world, Lansing imposed an 12% income tax hike and 22% business tax increase at a time when Michigan's average household income fell again last year and our home values continue to plummet.

We need to show the politicians that we will NOT take this abuse of our liberty and livelihood any longer. That is why citizens have risen up to recall Granholm's primary henchman in the State House, Speaker Andy Dillon (D-Redford). Granholm may be the bigger target, but recalling her would require gathering 1.4 million signatures in three months. Recalling Speaker Dillon only takes 8,720 signatures from his district in three months.

Recalling Speaker Dillon for his tax-hiking ways would send a clear message to Lansing: stealing more of our money is not acceptable, and politicians will be held accountable. In 1983, the last time Lansing tried an income tax hike, two state senators were recalled. Immediately after those recalls, the legislature rushed to undo the tax hike. That is how much they fear a motivated citizenry.

The people of Redford and Dearborn Heights are fighting for recall petition signatures every day, but they need our help. The establishment will use any means to preserve their power. Dillon's friends in the Redford Twp. government send police to harass our petition circulators, and have hired professional "blockers" to scare citizens away from signing.

There are things that everyone can do, including you. Will you help recall Michigan House Speaker Andy Dillon? The citizens working on Dillon's recall need your help to make Andy Dillon the first Speaker ever recalled from office in U.S. history. It would send shockwaves and a powerful message through the Lansing establishment.

I am asking that you make a financial contribution to the recall campaign. But first, check us out on the web at www.michiganrecalls.com and www.mitaxpayers.org. Also, go ahead and 'Google' the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance. You will see that we are pretty universally despised by big government apologists of any political party.

You can donate securely online at www.michiganrecalls.com, or send a check to Michigan Recalls, 46116 Lookout Drive, Macomb, MI 48044.

The restoration of liberty can only happen when politicians are humble again. I very much hope that you are willing to help.

I am hopeful for a response and thank you for your support, time and support of Ron Paul.
