You know, Debbie, THIS is the kind of reporting and analyses you do better than anyone.

Debbie, as I said about 3 weeks ago or so, you are like “PI Bill Warner” (he happens to be on your own blog-roll) who does good/great investigative work and DON’T sit on your two hands and wait for the MSM to break news. Ironically, I haven’t heard this story on any news broadcast, whether it’s any talk radio show or any cable news network!

Debbie awesome reporting! I found you thru a link from the comment
section in the Evansville Courier. I will be following this IHOP story here also.

Hat tip Debbie. The two inextricably intertwined stories expose ‘the elephant in the room’ that the politicians are avoiding, Immigration/illegal employment.

PsychoCheese’s posting:
“The thing no one ever talks about is how do all these foreigners come to the USA and buy up all these franchises and businesses in the first place? Why is it easier from some “poor wretched third worlder” to come to the USA and buy a 7-11 franchise than it is for a US Citizen from birth? Why do black people not own the various bodegas, convenience stores, liqueur stores, etc. in their own neighborhoods? Notice how many cash businesses are owned by foreigners? Methinks some audits are in order…”

The mini-cab business is huge and supports PsychoCheese’s argument. As America falters down the financial plug hole looking for taxes surely the ‘black market/cash business/no taxes’ should be investigated. Breaking the law to employ illegals as an excuse for ‘all businesses will go under’ is plain dumb. Illegal workers-poor pay- is akin to slave labour with reduced Rights.

The DSK ‘rape case’ hi-lighted employment of illegal migrants. So will the Sofitel Group go under without illegal employment, don’t think so…

Thought this is what the CHANGE was going to bring, Equal Rights for ALL…….

And I cannot believe that none of the conservatives in talk radio mentioned this story today (I’m sorry to say this, even my man Michael Savage didn’t bring this story to the plate today on his show), and most of the conservative bloggers didn’t bother write this story, all of them are doing the same crap of “Democrat bad, Republican good”, “Obama’s a marxist”, “Obama’s ruining America” (all of that is a fact, but til an extent it gets old, boring, tiresome, & un-original). And the samething can be said for the left wing MSM, they haven’t said anything of this story either, but I expect that from the liberal media, not from the conservative media!

Close the borders.
Send everyone back and make them apply for citizenship.
Make English the official language.
Govern by only two documents: The Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

I’m still waiting for all those throngs of peaceful muslims to come out and condemn islamic atrocities. I wonder what’s keeping them.

Hey Guys, you just don’t understand anything. As the “UNDERWEAR BOMBER” says, as reported in the Detroit News – http://www.detnews.com –
no one understands because they don’t understand the Qur’an / Koran. Furthermore, as Kaddafi has said on occasion, ISLAM IS ISLAM…IT IS WHAT IT IS.

ISLAM IS A THEOCRACY: A RELIGION, A POLITICAL UNION, A SOCIAL ORDER / SOCIETY.

Gee, that’s too bad for U-W-B. Perhaps he should familiarize himself with our LAWS, especially the CRIMINAL CODES. And for the rest of you wannabee bombers, terrorist supporters, and common no-goodniks…leave your little book at home to collect dust or be a door-stopper.

ps: I purchased “SATANIC VERSES”, Rushdie’s novel, back in the ’80s, but never read it. Recently, I started reading and it is funny, interesting, and reminds me of James Joyce’s novels. So, if you’re into reading, forget the Qur’an / Koran and get S V instead.

Sean–

Pretty much all the talk show hosts play to the bulk of their auds—who definitely seem to like the same thing every single day. Besides, it’s a lot easier that way coming up with the content.

Just remember, the content exists solely as filler between the commercials.

Deb will never go mainstream precisely BECAUSE she has hard-hitting content, and doesn’t care whom she offends. Most regulars here know of a few other sites that operate in this manner–but there are none too many.

Any company that hires illegal immigrants, the CEO should be flogged by police, on TV.

this is one of the exceptions to Oscar Wilde’s statement “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life”

those insidious cartoons

The former president of Afghanistan – a major figure who was leading peace talks aimed at ending the war – was killed in his home Tuesday by a suicide attacker wearing an exploding turban.

Burhanuddin Rabbani died when he hugged his assassin, who triggered the bomb, officials said.

That does it. I’m going back to Aunt Jemima and Bisquick.

Everytime you eat halal meat, you’re chipping in for terrorism. New Zealand lamb is almost always halal. Rocky’s chicken is halal, but it’s not on the label, just the organic, grass fed stuff which appeals to the nutty crunchy types who have no idea what they are actually eating.

Adam on September 21, 2011 at 11:17 am

To Scott here’s you’re quote that I agree with dude:

“Maybe the reason Rush and the other host (except Savage) doen’t discuss Islamic fifth columns in this country is because as Debbie has pointed out, some the financial backers of terrorism have connections to Republican politicans-some of whom may be friends of Rush and his fellow hosts.”

OMG Scott, you might be correct about what you typed bro, it could be that the reason why Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Inghram, etc. have talked VERY little of the risk of islamisim towards this country is because of what you type. And let’s not mince words and kid ourselves here, the muslim lobbyist are NOT just backers of the Democrat, they’re also backers of the Republican party as well, and Debbie to her own credit has written numerous articles/columns on this blog in the past. And that’s why DS is disgusted with the GOP, in which ironic, Debbie happens to be a registered “Republican”!

“but I have heard Savage atleast discuss the internal Islamic threat.”

You got that dude, to his own credit, Michael Savage has pointed out the threat of islam to our borders and shores. But unfortunately for Dr. Savage, he’s not quite aware of some of the Tea Party speakers being paid off by some muslim front groups in this country and being financed from islamic terrorist groups in the ME. And I don’t think he’s aware of Grover Norquist being in bed with the muslim lobby groups?

To Red Ryder, here’s you’re quote that I also agree with:

“Pretty much all the talk show hosts play to the bulk of their auds-who definitely seem to like the same thing every single day.”

Couldn’t agree with you anymore buddy, and to be honest with you dude, I’ve been listening to very few talk radio shows these days, because it’s the same BS everyday, “Republicans great, Democrats terrible”, “Conservatives terrific, Liberals evil”, “Obama’s a socialist”, etc. Most of what their saying is true, but til a degree it gets boring, old and very tiresome.

“Deb will never go mainstream precisely BECAUSE she has hard-hitting content, and doesn’t care whom she offends.”

You also got that right man, the reason why DS left WND and a few other sources was because those louts “plagarized” off of her and NEVER gave the woman any credit for her own original work. And I also pity some of those clownish conservatives who uses all sorts of propaganda against DS and lie about her, etc. I believe some of these moronic conservatives agree with plagarizing by stealing other peoples work? And BTW, I am glad DS is NOT PC!

Debbie;

A few years ago I met with a friend near her residence at the IHOP located at 101 S Randall Road Elgin IL 60123-5551 847-289 4801. My friend wanted to share her experience on a recent trip to Israel. We ordered a drink and I couldn’t help but notice that there was a person cleaning the spot of flag- decorated glass near us. My friend was with her young daughter shoeing me the pictures. At one point the manager engaged into our conversation and disapproval of the State of Israel. He voiced his complaint that trips to visit his family were even difficult as he couldn’t take the shorter route instead a longer trip around for ten hours. He continued to voice his dissatisfaction until he asked me if I was Jewish. I affirmed. His frame of demeanor changed immediately and he asked us to pay for our drinks and leave the store making a huge uproar. Because there was a child with us we decided not to call the police in what we agreed was an assault that could had escalated if we didn’t leave. My friend and I called IHOP Corporate,, but our calls were forwarded over and over to the store where the incident happened. My friend and I were both educators in the City of Elgin and felt disenchanted that IHOP corporate dismissed our claims and brushed the situation even providing our information to the sane person who had acted in a vile manner. I have retained the receipt of the incident and and my friend and I have made the commitment not to go to any IHOP not ever for a “Kosher” drink.

Sean, I think Scott (above) was threading too fine a line on your remark that ZerObama is a Marxist. He is correct on his summation (USA has a tic of Socialism here and there) but he knows what you mean about him being a Marxist. And I believe he is a Marxist. Everyone in his life (Mummy, Daddy, REAL Daddy FMD and his good pal Bill Ayers) is a Marxist. If one follows the TRUE path of Zero (and not the construct that is as fake as The Wizard of Oz) it’s Marxism here, there and everywhere. One does not have to site the CM line and verse to come to that conclusion.

Red was spot on in his post. Laura Ingraham was interviewing a CAIR freak this am. She let the sputtering fool get by with lots of untruths (taqiyya, anyone?) and was hardly impressive. I do NOT appreciate it when moderate talk-show hosts have a CAIR freak on and they let the interview fall into “we report…YOU decide” mode. With Islam, there is NO room to give them ANY legitimacy. And especially an organization that in an unindicted co-conspirator. But then again LI has Pat Buchanan on as well that rude puke Jonathan Alter. I think I will stop listening to her show. It’s more out of habit (and expediency) than anything else.

Rush is worth listening to because he is spot-on about Zero and was calling it loooooong before anyone else would and did. Line and verse. (And although I have long been a Rush fan, I did not listen to him regularly ’til Sept 2008).

Try “Quinn & Rose” (free podcast available on iTunes) because that is one of the most hard-hitting shows (and I strongly prefer them) that tells it like it is on Islam and everything else. I also REALLY like Brett Winterble now. I listen to his podcast and he is VERY hard-hitting and not filler like Vannity.

I think I am gonna re-tool my talk show listening. I am getting sick of shows I used to like (like Ingrahams) because I see how soft-ball they are. And like you said, none take on the Islamic threat.
