In a it o postelection modesty,President Barack Obama is oeringnot to take executive action to amnestymillions o illegal immigrants --provided Republicans do his bidding onimmigration.
It is extortion as conciliation. NewJersey Gov. Chris Christie oten invitescomparisons to he S opranos, but it isPresident Obama who is making a tacticout o the HBO mob drama his majorpostelection initiative. His bipartisanoutreach now ends with a pointed Orelse ...
his oer Republicans cant reuseincludes the stipulation that thepresident will revoke his executiveaction in the event they pass legislationto his liking. How generous o him.
Obamas tack on immigration speaksto a president who is out o sorts andout o step, and recognizes his ownpolitical impotence. Unable to build apolitical case or one o his chie second-term priorities, he has to all back onexecutive usurpation.
Prior to the election, the presidentdelayed his threatened amnesty-- perhaps legalizing millions oimmigrants -- because it might harmDemocrats. It still became an electionissue, with Republicans hammeringaway at it and winning resoundingly.
his electoral rebuke might give aless highhanded president pause. NotPresident Obama.
he president says that hed still
preer that Congress itsel changethe immigration laws. For him, this isa positively Madisonian expression orespect or the American constitutionalscheme.
President Obama is distressed thatthe Senate passed an immigration billby a wide, bipartisan margin and theHouse reused to take it up. Fine. hatis his right. He has legitimate means torespond.
For one, he could have barnstormedthe country or amnesty during theelection campaign, seeking to deeatoiceholders and candidates who dontshare his view on immigration. his ishow legislative majorities are built.
With the election past, he can stillbuild the political case or an amnestyand pressure House Republicans to act.I he could turn up the political heatenough, he might make House SpeakerJohn Boehner buckle.
When it comes down to it, iat isthe only means or President Obamato reliably get his way. His promisedexecutive action is a substitute ordemocratic politics, not an exercise init.
No matter how rustrated thepresident is, there is no Chagrined andImpatient Clause in the Constitutionthat allows him to eectively make hisown laws when he is irked at Congress.I so, Congress would have beenneutered at the beginning. Americanpresidents have been irked at Congressor as long as there have been presidentsand a Congress.
What President Obama is threateningis not only politically graceless -- a rudegesture at the public, as Ron Fourniero the National Journal puts it -- it is aproound distortion o the mechanismso American government.

the Senate, and lost more seats in the House,and even lost governors races, he arrogantlyquipped he would work with and withoutCongress, and he would not only listen tothe 1/3 who voted but also to the 2/3 who didNO vote.
One o the hot button issues in this pastelection was immigration, and now it appearsPresident Obama is planning to unveil a 10-part plan or overhauling U.S. immigrationpolicy, on his own, without Congress, via ex-ecutive action. Tis will include suspendingdeportations or millions o illegal aliens.
Te presidents plans were leaked and theannouncement could come as early as Nov.21, pending final White House approval. Teproposed plan contains 10 initiatives thatcover everything rom increasing border se-curity to improving pay or immigration o-ficers. Tose points are apparently meant toappease conservatives.
However, the most controversial parto the plan is that millions o illegal alienscould avoid deportation with deerred ac-tion. Te plan will expand deerred actionor illegal immigrants who came to the U.S.as childrenand also or the parents o U.S.citizens and legal permanent residents. Tisgroup might number up to 4.5 million illegalimmigrant adults with U.S.-born children.
Not only is Obama ignoring the will o thepeople who voted, he is ignoring the warningRepublican leaders gave him to not poisonthe well by acting unilaterally on immigra-tion.
Obamas action will allow illegal aliens toreceive Social Security numbers and govern-ment-issued IDs so they can work legally.Additionally, the deerred action could al-
low nearly 300,000 new young illegal immi-grants to stay.In a cynical money can buy anything
approach, the plan provides pay raises andpromotions or Immigration employees toincrease morale. Obama and his appointeesailed to understand the low morale was aresult o his immigration policies and lack oenorcement.
Another part o plan calls or the revisiono removal priorities in the program knownas Secure Communities. Non-violent, lowrisk offenders like petty thieves and drunkswill have low deportation priority.
Obama unilateral actions, in spite o thelandslide elections and GOP congressionalwarnings should not surprise us. Just lookat the comments by ObamaCare architectJonathan Gruber when said the voters arestupid. Obama and his liberal supporters, in-cluding local and state Democrats, are arro-gant and tyrannical. Tey are globalist whoseem to be listening to non-citizens ratherthan to citizens.
Illegal aliens broke the law to enter ourcountry, and they should NO be rewarded,even i they were brought here as children.We cannot let America become the orphan-age to world where every nation leaves theirchildren at our doorstep to be raised by thetax payer.
Since Obama will not listen to the peoplewho voted, Congress must listen to the peo-ple who voted them in and act by would bar-ring money rom being used or this amnestyplan. Call your local congressional leadersnow!

For Veterans Day this year, theextremely liberal magazine Salonpublished a hateul piece by DavidMasciotra entitled, You dont pro-tect my reedom: Our childish in-sistence on calling soldiers heroesdeadens real democracy.
Masciotra is one o those liberalarts majors who never really ounda niche in lie aside rom criticiz-ing Western Civilization or notconorming to their unicorns-and-rainbows worldview. His essaysand commentaries are publishedin an array o hateul progressive
journals such as the Daily Beastand eature such insightul materialas one on the unappreciated cour-age o Jesse Jackson.
Yes, that would be the same JesseJackson whose career highlight is end-ing racism by perpetuating racism.
Masciotra is one o those in-dividuals who got brainwashed
somewhere along the way into hat-ing all things Caucasian (except, ocourse, or enlightened Caucasianslike himsel). His diatribe against
veterans begins with a racist re-mark: Put a man in uniform, pref-erably a white man, give him a gun,
and Americans will worship him.Teres no need to dissect Mas-
ciotras ode to hatred o servicepoint-by-point. His entire piece isbuilt on the rare incidents wherethose in uniorm both militaryand police have exceeded andabused their authority. ypical osel-indulgent elitists, he then usesthose incidents to paint millionswith the same oul brush.
It wouldnt be a stretch to imag-ine him wearing beads, roman san-dals and flowers in his hair, spittingon servicemen returning romVietnam and calling them babykillers beore giving his currentsqueeze money or an abortion.
Whats sad about the piece isthe act that so many o our young
people, especially those attendingcollege, have been brainwashed inthe same manner by the very classo hippies who did spit on Vietnam
vets, who undermined our nation-al will and ultimately led to the tri-umph o communist tyranny andterror or millions o Vietnamese.
Unortunately, Masciotra andhis ilk have every right to spewtheir venom because the verypeople they hate so much paid orthat right.
I youve never worn the uni-orm, you cant understand. Eventhose well-intentioned toward
veterans cannot comprehend thecommitment made by those whohave served.
Being an old Marine, Im veryamiliar with the tales o SmedleyButler and have thoroughly readWar Is A Racket. For the benefito the unlearned, Butler a two-
time Medal o Honor winner maintained in the 1930s that heas a Marine had been used as amercenary by the big banks andcorporations to fight the BananaWars in Central America. He laterexposed a plot by key industrialists
to overthrow Franklin Rooseveltand install a ascist regime, butCongress never acted on the inor-mation.
Masciotra and modern-day pro-gressives say the conflicts weveentered in since the all o ascismin 1945 are the same thing waris good business, and our troopsare merely mercenaries or themilitary-industrial complex bothGeorge Washington and DwightEisenhower warned us o.
And to be honest, theres a graino truth in that. Had we seen WorldWar II-style commitment, neitherVietnam nor the modern War onerror would have lasted morethan a couple o years at most. Weshould have overwhelmed bothopponents easily instead o gettingdrawn into unending conflicts oattrition.
But what Masciotra and other
hateul progressives reuse to un-derstand is that those who join theArmed Forces dont swear to bemercenaries or multinational cor-porations and bankers. Tey joinor concepts like Honor and Duty,because they sincerely believe they
have an obligation to deend Free-dom and Liberty. Some join becausethe military is a way to transcendthe racism Masciotra complainsendlessly about but never actuallyDOES anything to end.
Unlike the progressive elitists,those who join the military servicebelieve in something larger thanthemselves. And even though manyspend their service careers behind adesk or in non-combat roles, theyunderstand rom the moment theyswear their oath that they are put-ting their lives at risk and thats arisk theyre willing to take.
Te writer Robert Heinlein, inhis 1959 novel Starship roopers,summarized the difference between
veterans and people like Masciotra:Te moral difference between a sol-dier and a civilian is that the soldieraccepts personal responsibility for thesafety of the body politic of which he
is a member. Te civilian does not.Terein lies the difference be-
tween those o us who are veteransand cowards like Masciotra whovenever taken on a shred o respon-sibility or deending anything theybelieve in.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration
of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and te-
nacity. The order varies for any given year.
Paul Sweeney
I hadnt even cleared the sleep out o myears when Doc Deb, the wie and cat curer, de-clared: We are going to vacay. And soon. I haveworked or 20 years continuously without anytime off. I wanna go somewhere!
When Doc Deb declares and with an excla-mation point to boot I am not wont to argue.
You see, Doc and I make an excellent exam-ple o how opposites attract. She has the smarts.And ull o BS. With two BS degrees alongalong with a doctorate. Plus being a certifiedand accredited pet practicioner: veternarian.My ownsel, well I am seldom in control o allmy senses. As witnessed by choosing the news-paper field to pocket penny-ante paychecks.
Tese days, I am apt to opt out o tackling anadventure. Prior to our hookup I had racked upa spice rack o travel and stories. o tell. Withinthe US o A and several continents. I figure I
had done my share o travelling. For this lie-time.So there has been no need to restock the
shaving kit. Or to keep a spare change o BVDson hand and at the ready or a trip with a par-ticular place to go.
And today, in my seventh decade under thesun Id rather bask in the shade a spell. Em-brace each day at will as a homebody. Perhapslaze and dream o being a young Americanmercenary saving a damsel in distress in ar offArica. Or o pitching that perect game or theHouston Astros or winning the Pulitzer Prize.
Brought back to reality while taking a show-er and hoping I dont run out o cold water untilreality sets back in.
Doc never shies away rom a challenge. Shesa Deb o Diversity. Adept with a scapel and di-agnosis in the practice o healing as well as acircular saw and power drill when it comes totackling the chores o a handy(wo)man.
Certified in a passel o licensing. From beingcommercial-rated as a pilot to receiving a scubadiving status in 1972 as a high school senior.Her talents are way too numerous to mention.
In the early years o our marriage we did mo-
tivate about. At times. I attempted to appeaseher on several occasions with little side trips.Te appeasement attempts came about causewe never bothered with a honeymoon.
We made several sidetrips. One to Nashvilleor the un o it. o bend the elbow at 12-ounceintervals at ootsies Orchard Lounge. Andwhile doing a story on the junior college na-tional gol championship in 1978 I let her tagalong all the way to Odessa. While doing astory or a gol magazine.
Now any gal should be content to spend aew days in the Permian Basin area and con-sider it an ideal honeymoon. Deb didnt.
Tough we worked as a team in the businesso the newspaper business in exas, Wyomingand New Mexico or 10 years the wie neverconsidered that to be much ado about travel-ling. Either.
o the present. We are in the Caribbean. AtDoc Debs demand. On the little island o Aru-ba. Some 15 miles off the coast o Venezuela.
Its a popular destination so I wont botherwith any descriptive design o what draws tour-ists here. I cant even come up with a reasonwhy we are here.
Oh yes. o observe our 38th wedding anni-versary.
Now let me return to the year 19 and 76.When I was 32 years old and single and livingin San Marcos. Washing my own dishes. Whenand i I deemed it necessary.
In my depleted little noggin I consideredmysel quite a catch. On the payroll with asteady job, wheeling around in a late model
Chevy Monte Carlo, an apartment was where Imessed up the bed covers. Only $4,300 in debtat the time, too.
However, my social lie with women wasunctioning with the efficiency o a stubby No.
2 pencil. Sans the eraser.By happenstance I bumped into a relation-ship with an Aggie graduate student. She wassummering and working in San Marcos. A col-lege town she was amiliar with. Having beengraduated rom Southwest exas State.
We began our courtship on a tennis court.We aulted on game, set, match by letting lovescore our game where we went rom singles to adouble. First date was on July 4th and our anda hal months later afer the wind died rom awhirlwind romance our marriage was birthed.
It was on a cold, clear day under a gazebo inSan Marcos when we mumbled our mutual I-dos on Nov. 14, 1976. Te temp was 29 degreesat high noon during the ceremony and younever heard a Lutheran preacher preach thevows so ast.
When we celebrated our 38th year together
here on the island Friday in 86 degree weather Iunderstand it was a tad chilly back in GonzalesCounty, exas.
Since I was nine years Debs senior there wasspeculation rom quite a ew that wed nevermake it. Trough the years we must collectivelyattest that we have shared the same sentiment.On occasion. I wed ever make it.
Believe me, o this Im certain, Deb didntthink at the time that or better or worsewould come into play as much as it has.
Wedded or two years shy o 40 now. Te de-cades have given us ample time to perect bick-ering to almost an art orm. Good Lord, is thatwoman tolerant or not.
And on this little sojourn, several times, wehave tsk-ed, tsk-ed one another. Its just some-thing a duo has to tolerate i they are gonnamake it. As they say.
Anyway, Doc Deb is having her day o a va-cay. Shes been sporting it solo by scuba divingand snorkeling and what-not.
And though I am not water sport or beachlovin sort I did don my delightul body in aswimsuit. o take a baptismal dip in the Carib-bean Sea. I also let Doc con me into taking a
Segway tour on the island to visit the CaliorniaLighthouse.
But in the main on this little trek Ive sat backand observed Doc Deb. Enjoying activities shesalways taken a cotton to. And I smile. As myheart ofen times takes an extra beat. Its not justthe A-fib talking either.
With our stay here at the Riu Palace, an allinclusive resort, that boasts five restaurants andseveral spots to reresh ones thirst, I admit tobeing partial to 5 oclock appetizers on a dailybasis. Beer is an appetizer. Is it not?
Yes, Ive been blessed. And I will close withthe chorus o a beautiul anya ucker classic:
Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their wayWith a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
Theyve heard its all uphillBut all they know is how they feel
world says theyll never make it, love says
they will.And down the road ... we go ... still sharing
smiles and silliness afer all this time.

Still sharing smiles and silliness afer all these years
Spending our 38th wedding anniver-
sary in Aruba. We came to terms in
San Marcos with outdoor vows in 29
degree weather on Nov. 14, 1976. To-
day its 86 degrees on the island.
Dear Editor,We were horrified to discover that van-
dals had chosen GCAMs building as theirtarget recently or airly extensive damage.
Electrical power was turned off, presum-ably to avoid our surveillance cameras.Tis showed a heartless disregard or thereezer o donated meats in the building.
A serious and puzzling amount o de-struction occurred in the office, which wasaccessed through the shattered glass rontdoor (which will cost $250 to repair.) In-side, the perpetrators dumped out the con-tents o drawers and files.
Tough very little was stolen as can be
determined, the persons who did thiswould have been served gladly in ourhours, 8:30-11:30 a.m. Monday throughFriday.

Pastors CornerIn our last article we addressed
Peters denial o his Lord. Not once,not twice, but three times Peter de-nied even knowing Christ. We ex-amined the nature o Peters all, andsaw that a number o things likelycontributed to this low point in Pe-ters lie.
Yet Peters lapse in aithulnesswas not permanent. Peter was re-stored. He would go on to be one o
the chie leaders in the early church.Just as we examined those things
that led to Peters denial o Christ,lets now see what ensured Petersreturn to aithul obedience. I amfirst taken back to what we call Pe-ters great conession. Jesus askedthe twelve disciples, Who do yousay that I am? Simon Peter an-swered and said, you are the Christ,the Son o the living God. Jesus an-swered and said unto him, blessedare you Simon Bar-Jonah, or fleshand blood has not revealed thisunto you, but My Father who is in
heaven. (Matthew 16:15-17) Peterwould not ultimately all, becausehis aith was the genuine article. Pe-ters conession o aith was not born
out o his intellect are his inquisi-tive nature. As is true o all savingaith, it was the gif o God. Dontmiss this truth. Flesh and bloodhas not revealed this unto you, butMy Father who is in heaven. Godopened Peters understanding to seeand embrace the truth o Christ.Saving aith is not something wesimply stumble upon or generaterom our own depraved humanwills, it is the gif o God. For bygrace you have been saved throughaith, and that not o yourselves, it isthe gif o God. (Ephesians 2:8) It isthe nature o genuine aith in Christ
to endure. Everyone that God hasoreordained to salvation will beglorified. See Romans 8:28-30. Notone is lost in the process. Our LordJesus said, Tose whom you gaveMe I have kept; and none o themis lost except the son o perdition,that the Scripture might be ulfilled.(John 17:12) Te Good Shepherdneither loses nor orsakes His sheep.In spite o Peters lapse, our Lord was
holding own to His child. His aithmay have become weak, but it wasthe Real McCoy.
We also know rom Scripturethat just as our Lord predicted Pe-ters all, so He also prayed that Pe-ter would return and be restoredto obedience. And the Lord said,Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan hasasked or you, that he may sif youas wheat. But I have prayed or you,that your aith should not ail; andwhen you have returned to Me,strengthen your brethren. (Luke22:31-32) Our Lords praying or
Peter ensured that his all would notbe permanent. In much the sameway Christ intercedes or all o Hischildren. Tereore, He is able tosave to the uttermost those whocome to God through Him, sinceHe always lives to make intercessionor them. (Hebrews 7:25) Whenwill a true blood-bought redeemedchild o God all away never to berecovered? When the living Savior
dies and ails to make intercessionor them! In other words, it aintgonna happen. He always lives toalways make intercession or Hisown.
We should also note that Peterwas brought back to obedience ashe realized the enormity o his sinand guilt. Immediately a roostercrowed. And Peter remembered theword o Jesus who had said to him,beore the rooster crows, you willdeny Me three times. So he wentout and wept bitterly. (Matthew26:74) Peter was brought to bro-
kenness and repentance over sin;very much like David was when hissin was exposed through the visito Nathan the prophet. When wemake a wrong turn and know thatwe have transgressed, we should re-turn with humility, conession, andrepentance o sin.
Let the cry o the Psalmist be ourcry: Have mercy upon me, O God,according to Your lovingkindness,
according to the multitude o Yourtender mercies, blot out my trans-gressions. Wash me thoroughlyrom my iniquity, and cleanse merom my sin. For I acknowledge mytransgressions, and my sin is alwaysbeore me. Against You, and Youonly, have I sinned, and done thisevil in Your sight. Purge me withhyssop, and I shall be clean; washme and I shall be whiter than snow.(Psalm 51:1-4 & 7) When we strayand even all in a really big way, theSavior waits to restore. Return toHim now.

without a Santa or roughly 16years, and then a replacementwas acquired in 1946.
Te original Santa was de-stroyed in a fire at a Dallaswarehouse in 1947.
Both Santas were built byHerman Howerts, who at onepoint was mayor and a mem-ber o the Luling Kiwanis Club.Te Santa is still owned andunder the care o the Luling Ki-wanis Club.
