U.S. Representative Rick Crawford (R-AR) & U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama are the latest half-truthers or absolute un-truthers.

The Fort Smith Times Record, in a lead story—“Crawford Visits Mexican Border”

1.     Congressman Crawford on his claim to have visited the Mexican border contiguous with the U.S. If an elected official was really serious about border security, why would he visit San Diego as opposed to Sasabe & Naco, AZ. ad infinitum, where no border barriers exist except in some cases a 3 strand barbed wire fence laying on the ground as a result of being trampled by hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and the literally thousands of tons of garbage they have divested themselves of after entering our country illegally.

Crawford’s visit apparently began & ended in San Diego where there is a 13 mile stretch of double fencing.  How courageous & insightful.  Crawford states, in this context, “that security has improved by leaps & bounds, but convinced more needs to be done”.   In point of fact, our porous southwestern borders have deteriorated mightily since Obama’s advent.   Border Patrol agents have been dramatically reduced, a freeze on arrest of illegals, and releasing infinite numbers of illegals, etc. For every illegal apprehended, 3 eluded. 
 
All politicians, when the subject of border security is discussed, end up with the same talking points, e.g. “border security comes in at a high cost of about $5 million per mile”.  That statement alone by Crawford and others should fly in the face of every American for this one of many reasons—the U.S. military engulfs the globe securing endless numbers of foreign borders while spending trillions, and Rep. Crawford has the audacity to speak of money while our very sovereignty and culture is at stake.

 Representative Crawford spotlights the fact that the Gang of Eight’s Republic destroying bill Act 744 calls for 700 miles of new fencing.  Question: Is Representative Crawford unaware that congress passed a law in 2006 that demanded the U.S. construct a 700 miles of new fencing along our southwestern border?  As of this date 33 miles have been constructed.

And finally, not to continue this expose, it should be noted that Crawford has also introduced legislation to deal with migrant farm workers to establish a program where they could enter the U.S. legally for 11 months per year.  This opportunity will be taken to inform Rep. Crawford that there are at least 23 million unemployed American citizens and 25-35 million illegal aliens residing on U.S. soil and finally, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture statistics show that less than 3% of food crops are harvested by foreign nationals.

Is Rep. Crawford ignorant of or has he been in the House long enough to be classified as an unctuous fellow short on truths?

As predicted U.S. Congressmen Eric Cantor & Bob Goodlatte are caving on the issue of amnesty for the offspring of illegals—the Party of Irrelevance.

Now a few words regarding the American Czar, aka the President of the U.S. 
Headline: Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, today’s edition.  “Spy Programs Must Change, Obama Says”.

2.    President Obama denying any knowledge of the massive surveillance programs and the plural must be emphasized here, that the U.S. is engaged in, nationally & globally, he has called for changes to the many governmental surveillance programs and the creation of a panel of outside experts to assess ways to give U.S. citizens confidence their civil liberties are protected. Obama does not say anything at all about reduction, just changes.

Why didn’t Obama simply state  that he was discontinuing the use of the 30,000 drones over flying the U.S. and there would be no further wiretapping of the various forms of communications of U.S. citizens and the mammoth storage facility in Utah destroyed?

Surveillance programs of American citizens will not be altered simply because the POI is in lockstep with the Democrat Party which insures the continuance of the growing military/industrial complex.

If any American is fool enough to believe anything coming from the mouth of Obama or the mouths of the U.S. Congress then they rightfully should be called ignorant fools.
