The inestimably acute and prolific blog-commenter Subotai Bahadur coined that acronym and has propagated it across the conservative-libertarian corner of the blogosphere ever since. It has achieved the status of an entry on Acronym Finder, for whatever that is worth. It is shorthand for “those who are no longer our countrymen” – itself an abbreviation for a slashing denunciation of those American colonists who were in sympathy with the wishes of Great Britain by Samuel Adams on American independence, delivered in a fiery stem-winder of a speech at the Philadelphia Statehouse in August of 1776 –

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Sam Adams was a bit of a fire-eater, and the speech must have been magnificent to listen to, for certain of the phrases sound like a tocsin, a war-alarm on the ear. “Ye love wealth better than liberty,” “The tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,” and “Crouch down and lick the hands that feed you,” which reminds me irresistibly of the establishment media as represented currently. Not to speak of “May your chains set lightly upon you,” – and “forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Yes, that’s the phrase that slashes like an old-fashioned straight-edge razor; clear and cold and across a couple of veins. “Forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Border Patrol Agents Contracting Scabies, Agent Speaks Out, Given Cease and Desist Order

“Every 72 hours we receive 140 children from Texas. In every one of these groups we are seeing some kind of disease or infection. We are seeing obvious scabies, head lice, kids coughing and spitting up mucus, poor sanitary and hygiene. These kids are wearing clothing they left their country in. Already we have had three agents who have contracted scabies from these kids.”

UNSHAKEN: Murrieta Residents Turn Away Buses for a Third Time

 

 I'm proud of you and could this be a turning point?

Is this the latest “Cliven Bundy” moment? It is certainly starting to look like it.

The residents of Murrieta have certainly had a good share of chaos and intimidation tactics to deal with in recent days. Yesterday we reported that “riot squads” were allegedly being dispatched.

Whether the riot squads are rumors or real, the obvious intent is intimidation.

Actions of amnesty supporters over the weekend were deplorable. Pro-amnesty supporters trampled, burned and shredded the American Flag and shouted “F*ck America” on Independence Day.

Tempers are very high and La Raza has now moved in. La Raza is a Mexican supremacist group.

They have no regard for the southern border and believe that much of America belongs to Mexico.

They have called, on more than one occasion, for violent revolt to take America back.

We now have a judge in Texas who is warning locals that they will not tolerate a Murrieta repeat in his town. This story is starting to spread like wildfire across the globe. For instance Russia Today has been covering Murrieta extensively.

The people of Murrieta made their point when they made the first set of buses turn around. It was already a great story. No one would have really expected them to do it again.

Sirens blare as rockets target Tel Aviv

 

Air-raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv opened bomb shelters as Gaza terrorists launched rocket attacks at central Israel Tuesday night.

In the largest barrage from Gaza yet, more than 40 rockets have been fired into Israel in the attack, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The Gaza-based Hamas jihadist group, which governs the territory, has declared that all Israelis are now targets for attacks.

No significant injuries have been reported, the Post said, as the Israel Defense Forces’ Iron Dome rocket defense system has intercepted a number of rockets.

The paper said two loud thuds were heard by residents in downtown Jerusalem shortly after a rocket siren went off in the capital at about 10 p.m., sending thousands of city residents to bomb shelters.

Air raid sirens were also activated in the cities of Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam, Holon and Bnei Barak.

In its ongoing Operation Protective Edge operation, the Israel Air Force struck 50 targets in Gaza in the past two hours.

Violent MS-13 Gang Members Leave Graffiti on Bathroom Walls of Nogales Border Patrol Processing Center + +

 

An internal Border Patrol executive summary obtained by Townhall confirms that at least 16 unaccompanied illegal minors (those under the age of 18, according to U.S. government policy), are members of the brutal El Salvadorian street gang Mara Salvatrucha—or MS-13.

Gang members left graffiti on the walls of the Nogales Border Patrol processing center, which suggested they had ties to the organization.

A GOOD KID WITH A GUN: Teen Saves Mother From Attacker In Tennessee

Police were close enough to hear the gunfire, but not close enough to make a difference.

A Tennessee man attempted to break into his ex-girlfriend’s home this past Sunday in an apparent attempt at a murder-suicide that would have left three children without a mother, if it had been successful.

Washington and Lee University to remove Confederate flags from Lee Chapel

Via Susan

 

Disgraceful.

Washington and Lee University will remove Confederate flags from its Lee Chapel after a group of black students led protests arguing that the Virginia school was unwelcoming to minorities.

President Kenneth P. Ruscio’s announcement Tuesday likely will reverberate among many of the school’s students and alumni who revere the Lexington university’s southern heritage.

North Carolina Legal Australian Immigrant Fights for Right to Carry

Via Michael via NC Renegade 

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is supporting the case of a legal Australian immigrant in North Carolina.

This test case will likely result in the removal of the restriction on the issuance of a concealed carry permit to people who are not U. S. citizens in North Carolina law.

SAF won a similar case in New Mexico at the end of March of this year.  In the New Mexico case, Alan M. Gottlieb stated one of the purposes of this action.    From the Washington Times:

Alan M. Gottlieb, executive vice president of the foundation, said the discrimination ruling makes it increasingly difficult for gun control advocates to chip away at gun rights.

“It helps build case law,” he said. “If legal aliens have rights, citizens obviously do, too.”

Obama Gives Murrieta Area ICE Agents Stand Down Order: Cloward and Piven strategy in full swing?

 

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement employee claims that the Obama administration has handed a number of ICE agents in the Murrieta/LA area paid temporary leave, a move that will exacerbate the mass influx of illegal immigrants into the region.

Liberty News’ Eric Odom, who is currently on the scene in the flashpoint town of Murrieta, says an ICE employee who lives in Orange County told him, “the Obama administration has furloughed Murrieta/LA area ICE agents full time until further notice,” but that the agents would continue to receive full pay.

“One would think any ICE agents still being paid full time would be deployed to actually assist the U.S. in its fight against Obama’s foreign invasion of the interior United States. Especially in light of the controversially fight between the federal government and the citizens of Murrieta,” writes Odom, noting that the move weakens American security without even saving any money.

Rick Perry Refuses Obama's Offer For A Tarmac Handshake

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) won't be on hand to greet President Barack Obama when Air Force One lands in Austin on Wednesday.

The governor's office says the White House extended an invitation to Perry to meet Obama on the tarmac when he arrives for Democratic fundraisers in Dallas and Austin. However, Perry refused the offer, asking instead to meet with Obama in private to discuss the high number of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.

“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote Monday in a letter to the president. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”

The Texas governor has been a vocal critic of the president's handling of the situation at the border, repeatedly suggesting that the administration is "in on this somehow."

"I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from," Perry said during a Sunday appearance on ABC's "This Week."

More Than Half of Central American Immigrants on Welfare

Via Billy

More than half of legal and illegal immigrant households from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are on at least one form of public assistance, according to an analysis of government data by a limited immigration group.

Based on the Census Bureau’s March 2013 Current Population Survey, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that most legal and illegal immigrant heads of households from these three countries received benefits from at least one major benefit program like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), food stamps (SNAP), free/reduced lunch, public/subsidized housing, and/or Medicaid.

Some 57 percent of households headed by an El Salvadoran used one such major welfare program, as did 54 percent of Honduran households and 49 percent of Guatemalan households. By comparison, 24 percent of households headed by a native-born American used at least one of these programs.
