By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered<br />The expenditure of $20.3 Million in migration assistance to the Palestinian Refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.<br />The presidential determination , which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.<br /><br />Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006. <br /><br />Since Obama's inauguration:<br /><br />His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas of the Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. <br />His first one-on-one television interview with any news oganization was with Al Arabia television.<br />His first executive order was to fund/facilitate Abortions, not just here within the U. S., but within the world, using U. S. Tax payer funds. <br />He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted. <br />He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. <br />He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the terror attack on 9/11.<br />Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense. <br />Permalink: defendourfreedoms.net/2009/05/13/hr-1388-was-passed-yesterday.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-64746407032064314622009-05-09T13:52:00.000+00:002009-05-09T13:52:00.000+00:00What are you people talking about???What are you people talking about???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-79510236940529449882009-04-25T04:29:00.000+00:002009-04-25T04:29:00.000+00:00If Bush and his congress weren't able to permanent...If Bush and his congress weren't able to permanently undermine the basic tenets of this great country of ours...I very much doubt Obama and the current congress will be able to.

I mean, they don't want their children hurt. There is a part in this that states that there will be high school students "mentoring" middle school students who have basically done time in a detention center. Well, that sounds pretty risky. When the mentor gets hurt, how many millions can he/she sue for? Also, schools are pretty secure (security locks, every teacher/aid/sub have background checks), and almost everyone has lots of training in child development/learning etc. What kind of environment will this be for the kids?

In Section 120, where they talk about how to be eligible for "Youth Engagement Zones," there's this:<BR/><BR/><I>‘(A) not less than 90 percent of the students participate in service-learning activities as part of the program; or<BR/><BR/>‘(B) service-learning is a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.</I><BR/><BR/>So while the Feds might not be making it mandatory, per se, they're providing a carrot and stick for the several States to do so for them. Unless I'm reading this wrong, they would only need a friendly or desperate State legislature/agency/Governor (like, say, California) to apply for a relevant grant before the Feds could come in and set up their indoctrination camps. After that, it would probably work like the old vampire myths: Once you invite them into your proverbial house, there's not a lot you can do about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-15961121084375092872009-03-21T02:43:00.000+00:002009-03-21T02:43:00.000+00:00Doug,True enough - but I don't think that would be...Doug,<BR/><BR/>True enough - but I don't think that would be impetus for a corps of volunteer collective-workers, either.<BR/><BR/>And thanks, btw - looks like you've been a regular one-man PR-firm.<BR/><BR/> - MDMuscleDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17719637531761541940noreply@blogger.com
