This is the original executive order 12425 signed by President Reagan
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288), it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.
This order by President Reagen gave privileges and immunities normally afforded to foreign diplomats to INTERPOL as a courtesy and a sign of cooperation.
This is the executive order signed by President Obama on December 17, 2009
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.
INTERPOL now has powers greater than those afforded our FBI, CIA as amended by the new executive order.
President Obama has given free reign on our Constitutional rights to an international organization. They do not have to abide by the rights granted to us under the 4th Amendment.
They do not have to answer to anyone in the United States government including Congress and operate in complete secrecy.
Read the to executive orders closely. We are letting this country be given away when no one is looking.
The Audacity of Nancy Pelosi
I can't believe that Pelosi is asking for the backing of Catholic church to help with immigration reform. Here is a women who heads up a group that pushes for abortion and fully backs her party's attempt to institute socialism in the United States not to mention removing religious freedoms from the citizens. I hope the Catholics to not fall for this. I guarantee that if they do help her she will respond in kind by turning her back and urging her party to turn their backs on the Catholic people. She is only reaching out to the Catholics because of the large Hispanic following they have. Mark my words if the Catholic church doesn't give I believe the Democrats will try to divide the Catholic church and the Hispanics.
HR 45 Blair Holt Firearms Act Of 2009
I am outraged at the current administration. They are doing everything they can to take away our constitutional rights. The Bush admin was bashed for the Patriot Act as a loss of freedom, when in fact it may have prevented terrorist attacks. The Obama admin is whittling away at every right we have and they are doing on the sly. Is this what the democrats have in mind so they can institute control over the population. Eventually we not be citizens we will be subjects. Leave my guns alone quit taking away my rights. Congress still doesn't get it. Americans are getting fed up with their under handed tricks. They are wasting our money, time and future while they sit on their fat self righteous butts and we pay them to screw us over. Hey Congress wake up, you work for us and you are about to be fired start cleaning out your desk. Below is a brief out line of the act. I suggest you go online and read the bill for yourself. Those who don't own guns or are in favor of more gun control regulation watch out something you care about might be next. Tell Congress to keep their hands off our constitutional rights. I suggest reading the information on this website http://www.rense.com/general85/fire.htm and lots of other sites offering more insight into the HR 45 Blair Holt Firearms Act Of 2009. Did anyone hear about this on the news media?
You are fingerprinted
You supply a current Driver's License
You supply your Social Security #
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
Guns must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
The Government would have the right to come and "inspect" that you are storing your gun safely away from children punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
I agree that guns should be safely stored, that's called personal responsibility. That is some thing Congress thinks we are incapable of because we are stupid and don't have the intelligence of legislator.

Fire Congress
Just when you think that Congress can't get any dumber, they don't let you down. These people are out of touch and insensitive to the real needs of this country and the American people. They are a bunch idiots and lairs. Sen. Dodd just got caught lying. The AIG bonuses are a blatant example of how congress works. Congress is pathetic. They have no clue of how to run this country. They are too busy serving their own interests and not those of their constituents. Nancy Pelosi is a joke, she is so blind and self serving that she is guiding us towards a national disaster. Wake up congress! Start doing something for the people of this country and not the select few who can line your pockets. I think we should just fire them all and start over. We the people have the power. Lets use it and send a message. If you can't or won't do the job, your FIRED. Use your vote and let them know that you are sick and tired of all the stuff that is going on in this country and especially congress. Send them emails, letters and phone calls to call them on the carpet and hold them accountable for their greed and stupidity. I would like to extend an invitation to Ms. Pelosi to spend some time with my family and take a look at the struggles of every day life to keep food on the table for my children. Hope you enjoy your raise, I haven't gotten one in years.
Political Experts from Hollywood? PLEEZ
I am sick and tired of hearing from Hollywood on how our country should be run or how we should vote. Everyone in America has the right to express their opinion. However the Hollywood types take to it an extreme level. They viciously bad mouth anyone they don't like. They use there standing as a celebrity to try and tell use how we should think and vote. The media,who is is usually stuck up their rear ends are very happy to report anything negative they can. That's how they make money, with negative news. These are the very same people who can't even control their own lives. They stay in trouble with their personal and public lives. They don't live in the real world as do the rest of us. They are pampered and catered to all the time. Just because they are celebrities doesn't mean that they know anything about anything. Some of them don't know anything about acting. They don't have the same struggles that the average American lives with. In my opinion they are a bunch of uninformed spoiled brats. They have their own agenda and really don't care about the average person. If they were really concerned why don't they take some of their millions and put it where their mouth is. Why don't they give large amounts of their fortune to orphans, seniors in need, go into poor neighbor hoods and fix up homes. No, they would rather visit safe spots with a large escort of armed body guards. Then they say things like war is wrong but they say they support our troops. How many have gone to Iraq or Afghanistan to entertain the troops. I don't mean just one PR showing in a safe zone, I mean taking a risk like the troops are and go all over and do several shows. Remember Bob Hope? How about WWII when Celebs all did their best to help. I have the highest regards for Muhammad Ali who came to where I was when all those other chickens were running their mouths. Thank you Mr. Ali, you made me feel better and brought a little bit of home with you. I also got to watch him slap the snot out of our Camp Champ who was no Chump. What was I thinking, the Hollydeadwoods probably would lose money. Limo and mansion payments are high and have you priced a private jet lately. Bottom line they is don't really care, they don't really know anything but we should listen to them because they are celebrities. Hollywood do me a favor, just SHUT UP! You could of course PUT UP if have the the real courage and conviction to do so. I for one doubt it. There are a very few exceptions to this and I thank them. Some celebs do stand up for America and are punished for it. From the same people who are spouting about free speech. Hypocrites! God Bless America. I'm sorry (snicker, no I'm not) that God thing just made some Hollywood know nothing mad. I don't think there is an immortal God in Hollywood just the mortal ones.
African American ?
I do understand that honoring your heritage is important. I do no not understand in this day and time the term African American. We are all AMERICANS. There is no one in this country that is originally from here, to include the "native" American Indians. All of our ancestors came from somewhere else. America is the great melting pot.
Lets face it you are either an American citizen or you aren't, you can't be both. I think that would cause an identity problem.
The term started as an culture awareness thing, and in its time it was a great idea. It helped to give Blacks a sense of pride in there ancestral heritage. Since for so long they were stepped on and held down. All the cultures represented in America should honor their ancestral roots. However, we are are all Americans and should be proud of the fact that even though this country is not perfect it has the best of opportunities and freedoms of any where in the world.
Can you imagine if every cultural group wanted their ancestry included on let's say an application. It could get out of hand. Irish American,Italian American, Samoan American, Welsh American and about 190 others not to mention the variations for example Welsh/Austrian/Catawba Indian American. There would be no room left on a job or credit application for your name or address.
I think it's time we all came together as Americans and celebrate what made this country great and that would be the chance to do great things that are not possible in other places of the world. The fact that we are Black, White, Latino, Asian or whatever is not important. What is important is that we are Americans. We have rights and freedoms unmatched anywhere. Perfect, no...but awful close.
We need to stand together as Americans and protect our country from those who would seek to destroy us.
I found some interesting history information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_american if you would like to look. It shows how far we have come.We still have a lot of work to do.Lets do it as one voice.

Black or White..Who Cares
In the discussions I have with my black friends about Barack Obama when I express my doubts about his abilities to be President the first thing I'm asked is "do you not want him to be President because he is a black man"? No, not at all. They did not listen to what I said, I said that he does not in my opinion have the experience and the ability to execute the office of the President of the U.S. It has nothing to do with color. I think this is a big sticking point. Really, and I can't speak for all white people, but I don't think that Obama's color has anything to do with it. There are in my opinion better qualified blacks than Obama to run for President. I like to turn the original question around. Are you supporting Obama because he is black or because do you think he is the best person for the job? I generally get a blank look at first then the answer "No, not because he is black". I then ask what qualifications does he have to be President? The answer I get "He has plans and ideas to change America for the good". Unfortunately no one yet has given me a viable answer other than "Change". Give me a break how many politicians have used that one. What kind of change? Am I overly excited about McCain, no not really, but with him I think it's what you see is what you get. McCain seems to have stability and experience in the real world not youthful idealism. Bottom line I don't think that real Americans with any responsibility will even accept what seems like the media making a race issue out of this. Remember they have their own agenda. Sales,money and greed. How many times has the media got it wrong?
I remember something I learned a long time ago. When your listening to something close your eyes to block out the visual interference and concentrate on just the audio or what the speaker is saying. Maybe some people should give this a try with the candidates when they are speaking. They might hear what they have been missing.
Personally I'm tired of all the junk I hear and the blah blah blah opinionated news reporting.
