Florida's Gov. Rick Scott signed into law today that welfare recipients must take Drug Tests!

Floridians will have to submit urine, blood or hair samples for drug testing before receiving cash benefits from the state, under a bill Gov. Rick Scott signed into law today.

"The goal of this is to make sure we don't waste taxpayers' money," Scott said. "And hopefully more people will focus on not using illegal drugs."

Taxpayers will reimburse welfare applicants for negative drug tests. Positive tests will carry an immediate ban on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families for six months. A second positive test will result in a three-year ban on state assistance.

Other details in the new law:

• The Department of Children and Families must inform applicants that they can avoid a drug test if they do not apply for benefits.

• The state must assure each applicant "a reasonable degree of dignity while producing and submitting a sample."

• Parents who fail drug tests can get benefits for their children by naming a state-approved designee to collect the money. That designee must also pass a drug test.

Many recipients are drug users and are often serious addicts. The new law requires states to deny TANF benefits to drug felons, although they may opt out of this requirement (13 states have opted out). States are permitted to require drug testing as a prerequisite for receiving welfare, but only 8 states do so (under varying circumstances).

1998 Welfare Reform

ACLU Florida has suggested they might sue the state over the new law. A statement from the group's state director today did not mention legal action, but said they would have an announcement tomorrow about Scott's executive order forcing drug tests on state employees.

"Once again, this governor has demonstrated his dismissal of both the law and the right of Floridians to personal privacy by signing into law a bill that treats those who have lost their jobs like suspected criminals," Howard Simon said in his statement. "This wasteful program created by this law subjects Floridians who are impacted by the economic downturn, as well as their families, to a humiliating search of their urine and body fluids without cause or even suspicion of drug use."

About 233,000 Floridians applied for cash assistance in 2009-10, more

Exclusive: The Truth About ‘La Raza’

by  Rep. Charlie Norwood

04/07/2006

The nation’s television screens many days recently have been filled with scenes of huge crowds carrying the colorful green and red flag of Mexico viewers could well have thought it was a national holiday in Mexico City.

It was instead, downtown Los Angeles, Calif., although the scene was recreated in numerous other cities around the country with substantial Mexican populations. Hordes of Mexican expatriates, many here illegally, were protesting the very U.S. immigration laws they were violating with impunity. They found it offensive and a violation of their rights that the U.S. dared to have immigration laws to begin with.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa mounted the podium, but any hopes that he would quiet the crowds and defend the law were soon dashed. Villaraigosa, himself, has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration law.

For law-abiding Americans without knowledge of the dark side of our current illegal immigration crisis, all this is unfathomable. For those who know the truth about the “La Raza” movement, these demonstrations were a prophecy fulfilled.

It is past time for all Americans to know what is at the root of this outrageous behavior, and the extent to which the nation is at risk because of “La Raza” — The Race.

There are many immigrant groups joined in the overall “La Raza” movement. The most prominent and mainstream organization is the National Council de La Raza — the Council of “The Race”.

To most of the mainstream media, most members of Congress, and even many of their own members, the National Council of La Raza is no more than a Hispanic Rotary Club.

But the National Council of La Raza succeeded in raking in over $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts were for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.

The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for “housing reform,”

Radical ‘Reconquista’ Agenda

Behind the respectable front of the National Council of La Raza lies the real agenda of the La Raza movement, the agenda that led to those thousands of illegal immigrants in the streets of American cities, waving Mexican flags, brazenly defying our laws, and demanding concessions.

OH NO IT’s White People, They Are Here In Brooklyn, I’m scared hold me.

White people — it’s time to “awake” and “save” your “great race!”

That was the message of white supremacist fliers that were plastered all over car windows on Greenpoint Avenue near Leonard Street last Wednesday — a bit of free speech vandalism that has Greenpoint residents fearful of racists in their midst.

“It’s scary to think they’re here,” said Cynthia Ruiz. “That’s crazy and disgusting.”

The fliers’ message was aimed at recruiting new members to the New York chapter of the Creativity Movement, whose slogan calls for “the survival, expansion and advancement of the white race!”

A neighbor removed the fliers soon after they showed up — but not before a photo of one appeared on the Greenpoint blog, New York Shitty.

“I really would like to think this type of crap isn’t going on in Greenpoint,” said Miss Heather, the blog’s anonymous tipster. “But where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

“It disturbs me that people are so open about their hatred,” said block resident Neil Driscoll. “You can get away with saying, ‘Let’s take back the neighborhood’ and all that crap. It’s a weird pride in the whole thing.”

But longtime Leonard Street resident Elizabeth Tezeschi said it’s nothing new. Tezeschi, who is white and was once married to a black man, has received unidentified letters every few years since 1991 that insult her and her family.

“I don’t understand how people would write this, it’s mind-boggling,” Tezeschi said. “Especially where we are, it’s so diverse.”

That diversity might be precisely what makes Greenpoint a target. The Creativity Movement, a neo-Nazi movement based in Illinois, includes a commandment “to relentlessly expand the white race and keep shrinking our enemies,” according to its website.More at Source

This is fantastic too see that whites are making a presence in NY, I titled it the way I did because after reading the story and the reaction it caused you would have thought GODZILLA had just stomped through the streets.

 If it would have been a KILL whitey thing there would have been a huge party in the streets and the PC mass would have all been cheering along. I also like how they bring this up: ‘That diversity might be precisely what makes Greenpoint a target. The Creativity Movement, a neo-Nazi movement based in Illinois, includes a commandment “to relentlessly expand the white race and keep shrinking our enemies,” according to its website.’ Maybe they should look at the sites of their lovely diverse neighborhoods races on what they say and talk of eliminating the other races namely the white race.

Why is it everything is a Genocide/Holosomething when it has anything to do with Jews/Israel and Why do we keep $upporting Israel?

---Yeah, how about that? Being hard line against genocidal terrorists while the rest of the world, including U.S. President Barack Obama, is demanding you push back your borders to 44-year-old lines that will make you more vulnerable to those same genocidal terrorists.

Well, the rest of the world that is, except Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who sees very clearly what the bottom line is: You don’t offer yourself up for slaughter by people who have stated in their charter that their goal is to kill you.

In response to Obama’s demand, the suggestion that the U.S. lead the way by returning to its 1845 borders with Mexico has been popping up on blogs and discussion forums. {well perhaps if mexico felt that strongly about it they wouldn't have signed and agreed to the terms of theTreaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and  Mexican Cession which gave up/sold Territory's now States and agreed on the set borderline between countries.  How about if Mexico paid back the Millions of dollars in  money that was given to them by the United States of America, for said land  that was agreed upon in June 8, 1854 in the Gadsden Purchase.}

In Canada, the equivalent would be to suggest a return to pre-Confederation borders — a scenario that would see Sir John A. Macdonald’s fears about the threat of U.S. annexation, absent the geographical cohesiveness of Canada and compounded by the American doctrine of Manifest Destiny, revived.

“I say that there is a deliberate conspiracy, by force, by fraud, or by both, to force Canada into the American Union,” Macdonald said in a speech he gave to the Academy of Music in Toronto in 1891. Two years before Confederation, Macdonald wrote in a letter that he would be quite willing to leave the vast western part of Canada “a wilderness for the next half-century, but I fear if Englishmen do not go there, Yankees will.”


Jason Kenney also announced last year that Canada will not take part in Durban 3 this fall in New York.
“We will not be part of this event, which commemorates an agenda that promotes racism rather than combats it,” Kenney said then.
So Harper is sticking to his guns because he sees the truth — that a two-state solution in the Middle East must never be contingent upon Israel making itself more vulnerable to those who want to annihilate it. No other country in the world, fighting for its very life, is asked to lie down and offer itself up to attack by a terrorist juggernaut as a condition for creating “peace.” That is a recipe for genocide, not for peace. It’s also madness. It’s like suggesting, in our post-9-11 world, that we make peace overtures to al-Qaida by cutting back on airport security.

As Netanyahu’s top security adviser, Maj.-Gen. Yaakov Amidror, said Monday: “Those are borders that place our ability to defend ourselves in question and it would be a mistake to return to them.”

In a 2005 paper he wrote on Israel’s need for defensible borders, Amidror stated: “Israel is an embattled democracy that historically has had to defend itself repeatedly against the armies of neighbouring Arab states whose declared goal was Israel’s eradication. While other nations, like France or Kuwait, have been overrun, occupied and have survived to reconstitute themselves, Israel cannot depend on obtaining a second chance.”

He also wrote in his report, published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs: “How is it possible to evaluate whether a border is defensible? To make such a determination, a simple question may be asked: If Israel were to come under attack by a conventional army, or some combination of ground forces, ballistic missiles and terrorist cells, would the border and the space behind it be sufficient to allow the Israel Defence Forces to fulfil their defensive mission with a high probability of success? The answer to this question must be based purely on military considerations.”

He added: “Without Israeli control of the relevant territory east of the 1967 line, there is no way the Israel Defense Forces can prevent the firing of rockets and mortars from the hills dominating Ben-Gurion International Airport. One mortar shell per week in its vicinity will be enough to stop air transport completely.”

Within the 1967 borders, Amidror wrote, “Israel loses the ability to defend itself.”
Those clamouring for Israel to withdraw to those borders either harbour some hopelessly warm and fuzzy western dream of making peace with terrorists, or else that is exactly what they wish to see — Israel losing the ability to defend itself and its subsequent annihilation

Abbas’s comment about a state without Jews was racist'

Steinitz: I remind everyone that Abbas denied the Holocaust in his doctoral thesis, and these things need to raise questions about this man.

The candidate is Mahmoud Abbas (also known as Abu Mazen), Arafat's second in command, and his book, published in Arabic in 1983, translates as "The Other Side: The Secret Relations Between Nazism and the Leadership of the Zionist Movement." It was originally his doctoral dissertation, completed at Moscow Oriental College.

The book repeatedly attempts to cast doubt on the fact that the Nazis slaughtered 6 million Jews, according to a translation provided by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles.

"Following the war," he writes, "word was spread that six million Jews were amongst the victims and that a war of extermination was aimed primarily at the Jews...The truth is that no one can either confirm or deny this figure. In other words, it is possible that the number of Jewish victims reached six million, but at the same time it is possible that the figure is much smaller -- below one million."

“I remind everyone that Abbas denied the Holocaust in his doctoral thesis, and these things need to raise questions about this man,” Steinitz said.

National Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau said, “I want to remind everyone that we have Arab citizens in Israel, and that is completely acceptable. I don’t see any problem that there will be Jewish citizens in a Palestinian state, if it is established.”

After Abbas’s clarification that he was talking about a refusal to allow Israeli soldiers in a future Palestinian state, one government source pointed out that Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu said during his trip last week to Washington that the Palestinian desire for sovereignty and independence did not have to be in contradiction to Israel’s desire for security.

News Flash To Those Wishing To Travel To AMSTERDAM For That Quick Toke in the Red Light District

  



AMSTERDAM - The Dutch government on Friday said it would start banning tourists from buying cannabis from "coffee shops" and impose restrictions on Dutch customers by the end of the year.  The Netherlands is well known for having one of Europe's most liberal soft drug policies that has made its cannabis shops a popular tourist attraction, particularly in Amsterdam.



Backed by the far-right party of anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders, the coalition government that came into power last year announced plans to curb drug tourism as mart of a nationwide program to promote health and fight crime.



"In order to tackle the nuisance and criminality associated with coffee shops and drug trafficking, the open-door policy of coffee shops will end," the Dutch health and justice ministers wrote in a letter to the country's parliament on Friday.



Under the new rules, only Dutch residents will be able to sign up as members of cannabis shops.



Dutch customers will have to sign up for at least a year's membership and each shop would be expected to have only up to 1,500 members, a justice ministry spokesman said.



The policy will roll out in the southern provinces of Limburg, Noord Brabant and Zeeland by the end of the year and the rest of the country next year, the spokesman said.  Amsterdam, home to about 220 coffee shops, is already in the process of closing some in its red light district. Some officials have resisted the measures, saying they will push the soft drug trade underground.

Children of immigrants fear displaying religion?

I think the title to this article is backwards, it is sad when a hosting country to said immigrants fear displaying their religion when in fact Canadians, Americans, and those of European countries are forced and made to be criminal when practicing their countries religion, traditions, ways of life.  All over the fact that said immigrants don't really want any part of trying assimilate or to accept the hosting countries way of life.

We have to uphold and respect there customs, all in the name of religion and when we don't we are labeled RACIST, close minded.  When their religious customs interfere in our way of life whether it be through their food, (kosher, halal) headgear, turbans being worn outside of dress code in law enforcement positions, (safety issue) 

If they choose not to then they need to return to their respective countries. shera~

Evangelical Christian children of immigrants feel they cannot openly practise their religion, and worry that Christianity is no longer a guiding force in Canadian society, while Muslims say they are free to follow their faith in this country -but face other forms of discrimination.

Those are some of the findings of new research that will be presented on Sunday at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Fredericton, the largest multi-disciplinary academic gathering in Canada.

“I was a little bit surprised by the degree to which Christians feel put upon. The Religulous message is getting across, and it’s not a good message,” said Peter Beyer, a professor of religious studies at the University of Ottawa, referring to the 2008 Bill Maher film that cast a critical eye on organized religion.

“They feel like there’s prejudice against religious people: ‘I can’t pull out my Bible, I can’t talk about my religion without getting shot down. I don’t even mention it for fear of getting a bad reaction.’ “

His study gathered insights from about 350 second-generation Canadians aged 18 to 30 through 36 focus groups in Sydney, N.S., Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver.

Each focus group drew together young adults with common religious backgrounds, and many Christians expressed the worry that Christianity is no longer a dominant force in Canadian society, Prof. Beyer said.

On the other hand, Muslims attributed the discrimination they felt to racial or cultural prejudices rather than religious issues, saying they felt they could follow their faith unfettered in Canada.

“They feel that they’re perfectly free to practise Islam here in Canada, unlike some of the Christians who feel that their ability to practise their religion is restricted in this country,” Prof. Beyer said. “But they did feel Islamophobia.”

The qualitative study reveals some of the complex fault lines in Canadian society.

Young adults from across religious and cultural lines agreed that Muslims have faced discrimination since 9/11, but non-Muslims also said there should be limits on religious freedom and expressed concerns that Muslims “could be a problem,” Prof. Beyer said.
