Best-selling author Ann Coulter gave an interview to IJReview to discuss her new book, “Adios America!” and touched upon the secretive Trade and International Services Agreement. “This is the ‘backup amnesty’ to Obama’s executive amnesty,” Ann Coulter told IJReview, “dash – funded by Republicans, if that doesn’t get struck down by the courts.”

In the potential trade agreement, per Wikileaks, there is a provision known as the “TiSA Annex on Movement of Natural Persons.” As Conservative Review put it, the agreement that President Obama is rushing off to Capitol Hill to save would relax visa restrictions for guest workers from a number of nations, including Pakistan:

One very disturbing aspect of TISA is the document uncovered by WikiLeaks revealing an entire section on immigration, referred to as “Movement of Natural Persons.” This section discusses commitments by the parties not to place undue burdens on visas and singles out face-to-face interviews as an example of “overly burdensome procedures.” [see the footnote on page 7]burke

Pakistan, Turkey and Mexico are all parties to TiSA. Hundreds of organizations are opposing TiSA through a petition, and more fundamentally, fast-track authority for President Obama to ink a sweeping trade deal. “See, this is their backup plan, defended by all the usual suspects: George Will, Paul Ryan,” Coulter commented. “All the conventional wisdom, ‘oh, those hysterics,’ no, this is the elites ganging up on Americans. It is not very good for Americans, which is why Americans have never been consulted on whether we should turn our country into Mexico,” Coulter said.B2A_FvyCMAE14px War on Christians freedom combo 2

George Will: Tea Party an ‘Enormous Benefit’ to Both the GOP and the Country

George Will 

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and political commentator George Will was interviewed this week by the Daily Caller’s Jamie Weinstein. One of the topics discussed was the Tea Party movement in America, its roots and its impact (see video below).

Will was asked by Weinstein, “Do you believe the Tea Party is a significant force in Republican politics, or has their power waned significantly?”

“The Tea Party is a huge force. In some ways, more of a force than ever,” Will answered, while pointing out that Tea Party candidates haven’t won every election they’ve entered, but judging them exclusively on wins and losses “is not the proper metric” to judge the pro-liberty, pro-Constitution movement’s success, said Will.

“The Tea Party could have gone off and stayed out of the party system,” Will explains. “It could have been a third party,” but instead threw it’s “energy and intensity” into the Republican Party, the two components Will contends ultimately win elections. Will makes the case that the Tea Party has been good for both the Republican Party and the country as a whole, and that he’s “very pro-Tea Party”: 

“It came into the Republican Party and brought an enormous energy and intensity. Energy and intensity at the end of the day wins elections. The Tea Party has been, on balance, an enormous benefit,

A) to the Republican Party because of the energy, but,

B) to the country, because the Tea Party’s message is to recover the vocabulary of constitutionalism and limited government, and the connection between the Declaration [of Independence] and the Constitution,

so I’m very pro-Tea Party.”

Will rightly goes on to point out that the Tea Party was born out of being appalled with the growth of government and government spending under George W. Bush and a disgust with Republican behavior between 2001-2009, rather than a confined reaction to Barack Obama, a common misconception about the movement.

Proof that the Democrats Own the Shutdown

By 

reid obamaWe can go back and forth on the problems that led to the most recent government shutdown and how partisan politics may be bad for America (it’s not). Both sides of the debate have cast blame upon their opponents. Republicans have taken to calling this Harry Reid’s Shutdown or President Obama’s Shutdown, while Democrats have derisively attacked the Tea Party, and placed the blame squarely at the feet of the Republican base.

Sadly for the Democrats, we now have conclusive evidence that the shutdown is completely their fault. Indeed, the evidence is so damning that we can say without a shadow of a doubt, the Democrats OWN the shutdown.

When did this happen? Why haven’t we been hearing about it in the news? Where can I see this evidence?

It’s all right here.

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) offered a compromise that would give Democrats everything they said they wanted… but they turned it down. The Democrats turned down the offer they have said all along they wanted. Why? Ezra Klein answers that question for us.

…It locks in sequestration levels of spending for six months. Key Senate Democrats see that as a much larger, and more dangerous, concession than the old CR, which only agrees to it for six weeks. Democrats don’t know how they’re going to get rid of sequestration. But they don’t want to agree to it.

Klein gives two other reasons, but they’re truly horrible reasons, so this one is really their only hold-up.

The problem with this reason is that it makes no sense. The President said he wouldn’t negotiate on the shutdown. Harry Reid (D-NV) said he wouldn’t negotiate on the shutdown. They dared the House to send them a “clean” continuing resolution.

So that’s what Susan Collins did; she wrote a compromise that basically gave them a clean CR while getting rid of the medical device tax that both party’s hate. Now they want the sequester weakened? What happened to “No Negotiating?” The Sequester was already law (just like Obamacare libs) and would not have been affected by a clean Continuing Resolution, so how can the Democrats hold up opening the government over this issue?

The answer is that we were right all along — the Democrats wanted this shutdown. The Democrats own this shutdown.

See folks, the shutdown is just a political game the Democrat Party is playing with the American people. They don’t care about the out of work government employees, they don’t care about the closed-off memorials, and they don’t care about forcing us into defaulting on our debts. They only care about themselves. If it’s bad for America but good for the Democrat Party, so be it. It’s all about them.
