Daily Benefactor News – Obama Justice Dept. Argued In Favor Of Using Race As A Relevant Factor To Justify Immigration Stops – More Articles
——– CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE DAILY BENEFACTOR——–
————————————— TOP STORY —————————————
In at least three court cases, President Obama’s Justice Department has argued in favor of federal law enforcement officers using race as a factor in determining whether to stop someone for a suspected immigration violation.
It has done so despite the fact that the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report that they do not engage in “racial profiling.”
The Justice Department’s legal arguments in defense of federal law enforcement officers using race as one factor among others in making immigration stops are based on the 1975 Supreme Court decision, U.S. v. Brignoni-Ponce. In that case, the court held 9-0 that an officer making an immigration stop must be able to cite “specific articulable facts” that “reasonably warrant suspicion” that illegal aliens are present.
“Except at the border and its functional equivalents, officers on roving patrol may stop vehicles only if they are aware of specific articulable facts, together with rational inferences from those facts, that reasonably warrant suspicion that the vehicles contain aliens who may be illegally in the country,” the court ruled in Brignoni-Ponce.
The Court said law enforcement officers could not stop a car merely because the occupants appeared to be of Mexican descent, but that they could consider such an appearance as one factor in making a determination that there was “reasonable suspicion” that illegal aliens were present.
“Even if they saw enough to think that the occupants were of Mexican descent, this factor alone would justify neither a reasonable belief that they were aliens, nor a reasonable belief that the car concealed other aliens who were illegally in the country,” the Supreme Court ruled. “Large numbers of native born and naturalized citizens have the physical characteristics identified with Mexican ancestry, and, even in the border area, a relatively small proportion of them are aliens. The likelihood that any given person of Mexican ancestry is an alien is high enough to make Mexican appearance a relevant factor, but, standing alone, it does not justify stopping all Mexican-Americans to ask if they are aliens.”
In 2003, the Justice Department published a “Guide Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.” The guide said federal authorities “may not consider race or ethnicity except to the extent permitted by the Constitution and laws of the United States.”
In explaining what was permitted under the Constitution and the laws, the guide cited the precedent of Brignoni-Ponce.
Thus the rule of Brignoni-Ponce decision that ethnicity alone cannot be used to make an immigration stop but can be considered as one relevant factor-has been adopted by both Immigration Customs and Border Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), both components of DHS.
A Justice Department spokeswoman told CNSNews.com that department could not provide CNSNews.com with a full list of cases in which U.S. attorneys working for the Obama administration cited Brignoni-Ponce in federal court to justify immigration stops. However, court records indicate there have been at least three such cases.

Ron Paul confirms rumors he is out of his mind!
Ron Paul makes Joe Biden look good frankly. Paul goes ahead and plays the “Islamaphobe Card” against anyone opposing the 9/11 mosque, until he is reminded that his son, Rand opposes it! Weasel Zippers has the scoop.
(TPM)- After ostensibly dissing his son — and politicians like him who oppose the Cordoba House project in Manhattan — over the weekend, Ron Paul took to the airwaves to defend Rand Paul’s view on the project while also making it clear he disagrees with it.
To recap: Rand, like many politicians running in tight races this year, is opposed to building the Muslim community center, and has further called on American Muslims to donate the money that would be spent on building the community center to 9/11 victims’ families as a show of “reconcilliation.” In a blog post over the weekend, Ron Paul ripped into views like that, claiming that any opposition to the project was “all about hate and Islamaphobia.”
In a pair of CNN interviews last night and this morning, Ron stuck to his guns about the community center project — opposition is nothing but a political game being ginned up by bigots. He even went so far as to say he and Rand are on “different sides” of the issue. But he said Rand’s opposition to the project did not suggest he’s bigoted toward Muslims.
Paul is a disgrace frankly, He is unfit to serve Alpo to my dog, much less serve the great state of Texas!
Who ya gonna believe, a Marine Corps General, or President Obama
This quote, comes not from a pundit, or politician, or talking head, but from a Marine Corps General, so, I have to think it carries a lot of weight. Rick at Wizbang shares my thoughts.
I call it aiding and abetting… but he’s been doing that since his election:
The top U.S. Marine general said President Barack Obama’s announced July 2011 deadline to start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan had given “sustenance” to the Taliban.
“We know the president was talking to several audiences at the same time when he made his comments on July 2011,” Gen. James Conway told reporters on Tuesday. “In some ways, we think right now it’s probably giving our enemy sustenance….In fact, we’ve intercepted communications that say, ‘Hey, you know, we only have to hold out for so long.’”
The cold, hard, and I would think very easy fact to grasp is that you cannot fight a war when you tell the enemy your moves in advance. You should have objectives sure, but definite timelines? No way that can be an effective strategy.
OK kids, it is time for another WTF did Obama Say? moment!
Apologizing to the UN, for our human rights record?
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America’s human rights record is less than perfect while stressing that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination. Despite progress in reforming past unfair policies and practices, the report said “work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all.”
Is he really this stupid? Does he have any idea that America is eons past the UN in respecting human rights?

Attack of the Right Wing Bikinis?
As you might expect, RS McCain is behind this, because, you know,Conservative women are not supposed to be THAT HOT!
Evidently taking their cue from the Washington Post, now the British Guardian has decided that the most newsworthy thing about conservative blogger Pamela Geller is that she has been seen in public in a swimsuit:
Pamela Geller is on a mission to save the free world and she’s doing it, on this occasion, in a bikini as she writhes around in the sea.
“Here I am in my chador, my burka,” Geller jokes to the camera in one of a string of video blogs campaigning against Islamic “world domination” shortly before kicking back in the waves.The video is from August 2006 and out of all that Geller has done in the ensuing four years — including authoring The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America with her frequent collaborator, Robert Spencer — evidently nothing lends itself so easily to a feature lede as her bikini moment.
Don’t you just love how the media treats women?
Porn booming in Iraq, infamous blogger to blame!
From JWF comes this news
I blame Bush.
The nude women on the DVD cover in a Baghdad street stall say it all: Change, whether you like it or not, is afoot in Iraq. says of his sex selection, flashing the kind of impish grin only a 22-year-old in tight jeans and slicked-back hair can pull off with any real conviction. “What do you want? I’ve got foreign films, Arab, Iraqi, Indian, celebrities — whatever you like.”Hanoun”I’ve got everything,”
Hundreds of porn DVDs are stacked elbow-deep on a wooden table in Jassim Hanoun’s ramshackle stall on a downtown sidewalk. His other tables have Hollywood blockbusters, like “King Kong.” But not surprisingly, it’s the sex that sells best.
Blame Bush if you like, but I place the blame on Robert Stacy McCain! I believe that Bob Belvedere and Lance Burri would agree with me. I mean just look at this shocking photo of McCain as a boy.
So, the Ground Zero Mosque is about freedom of religion to the Left?
I am all about freedom of religion, but, it struck me as odd that the Left would be championing the Ground Zero Mosque on those grounds. Warner Todd Huston agrees and looks into the Left’s conveniently timed support of freedom of religion.
As the left falls all over itself to claim that building the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque is the perfect chance to “showcase” our “Constitutional freedoms” and our religious tolerance, there is another state where religious tolerance is not as noticeably on display as it is for New York’s Muslims. Naturally, in Vermont, it is the religious freedom of Christians being denied. To be sure, the Old Media is not nearly as interested in this story. Richard and Joan Downing own a hilltop property in Lyndonville, Vermont and on that property they’ve built a family chapel where they host weekly Catholic services for all. Next to the chapel they have also erected a 24-foot-tall cross called the Cross of Dozulé, a cross that the State of Vermont is insisting that they remove. (Visit The Chapel of the Holy Family website)
How does the State of Vermont justify its demands that the family pull down the cross? Vermont officials are citing environmental regulations that give it the power to determine what sort of construction violates the “aesthetics” of Vermont’s scenery.
OK, so I will expect that any second now, the same Leftists screeching about freedom of religion will be all over this case in Vermont! Any second now I tell ya, yep, they are bound to start standing on their religious freedom soap boxes anytime now….., ah, guys, where are y’all.
OH, that’s right, I forgot, this is the Left we are talking about, they are selective in their tolerance. I guess some religions are, more equal than others?
Yes, yes, the moderate Imam behind the Ground Zero Mosque is a lying terror excuser!
Check out this sort clip at Ace of Spades, and much more at Atlas Shrugs. Please help get the word out about this man,and his true feelings about the West.
Daily Benefactor News – Iran Starts Nuclear Reactor – More Articles

Iran Starts Nuclear Reactor – Yahoo News
Trucks rumbled into Iran’s first reactor Saturday to begin loading tons of uranium fuel in a long-delayed startup touted by officials as both a symbol of the country’s peaceful intentions to produce nuclear energy as well as a triumph over Western pressure to rein in its nuclear ambitions.
The Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant will be internationally supervised, including a pledge by Russia to safeguard it against materials being diverted for any possible use in creating nuclear weapons. Iran’s agreement to allow the oversight was a rare compromise by the Islamic state over its atomic program.
Western powers have cautiously accepted the deal as a way to keep spent nuclear fuel from crossing over to any military use. They say it illustrates their primary struggle: to block Iran’s drive to create material that could be used for nuclear weapons and not its pursuit of peaceful nuclear power.
Iran has long declared it has a right like other nations to produce nuclear energy. The country’s nuclear chief described the startup as a “symbol of Iranian resistance and patience.”
“Despite all pressure, sanctions and hardships imposed by Western nations, we are now witnessing the startup of the largest symbol of Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities,” Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters inside the plant with its cream-colored dome overlooking the Persian Gulf in southern Iran.
In several significant ways, the Bushehr plant stands apart from the showdowns over Iranian uranium enrichment, a process that can be used both to produce nuclear energy or nuclear weapons. It also could offer a possible test run for proposals to ease the impasse.
The Russian agreement to control the supply of nuclear fuel at Bushehr eased opposition by Washington and allies. Bushehr’s operations are not covered by U.N. sanctions imposed after Iran refused to stop uranium enrichment. And last week, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the Russian oversight at Bushehr is the “very model” offered Tehran under a U.N.-drafted plan unveiled last year.
That proposal – so far snubbed by Iran – called for Iran to halt uranium enrichment and get its supplies of reactor-ready material from abroad.
Western leaders fear Iran’s enrichment labs could one day churn out weapons-grade material. Iran claims it has no interest in nuclear arms, but refuses to give up the right to make its own fuel.
Iran has some of the world’s biggest oil reserves, but lacks refinery capacity to meet domestic demand and must repurchase fuel on international markets. Nuclear power is seen as both a goal to meet power needs and an important technological achievement for the Islamic government.
The French Foreign Ministry said the Russian deal shows Iran does not need to enrich uranium to benefit from civilian nuclear power.

Donald Douglas on Moderate Muslims
Douglas links Claire Berlinski, who talks about the many Muslims she knows in Istanbul, who are just people, Douglas also offers his take, I think both are highly important to read and study.
Claire Berlinski lives in Istanbul. She’s got an interesting blog post, “Is Islam Itself the Enemy?“, and there’s a raging debate on her Facebook page. This comment struck me as profound:
I’ve just walked down a street filled literally with thousands of Moslems of exactly the kind many people are seriously arguing do not exist. I saw them with my own eyes, as I have every day for the past five years. With so many other questions in the world, why waste time debating this? Book a ticket to Istanbul, spend an afternoon here, have a lovely time, drink some tea, meet friendly, tolerant, warm, welcoming Moslems (mostly), and see for yourself. They exist! They’re my neighbors and my friends! Babür, is there anyone at our gym, for example, who would not describe himself as a Moslem? Would any member of our gym endorse terrorism, honor killing, forcing me to wear the hijab, or subjecting me to a dhimmi tax? The idea is so absurd it’s beyond discussion — and yet we’re discussing it.
Yes, this is good. And I think it’s important. Every once in a while I have Muslim students in class, and we have thoughtful discussions. But they are such a small minority that we don’t get a critical mass of opinion to sort out variations in opinion within the Islamic community. So, call me agnostic on the kind of experience Claire Berlinski’s having. More immediate to me is David Horowitz’s experience. I have had a few similar to this, in my engagement with the ANSWER Coalition. And this kind of experience is a good test. When Muslim come out to denounce Hezbollah, that’ll be a good step toward identifying and working with the moderates Claire champions. Meanwhile, see, “The War Against the Jews at UC San Diego“:
I have come to believe that the biggest issue in dealing with Islam is this. There are MANY great Muslim people, and there are, sadly, tragically, many Muslims who are radical, the thing is how do we identify and know who the good Muslims are? We are a society based in large part on freedom of religion, so where do we draw the line? We are a nation fighting an evil enemy, Islamist terrorists. Where do we draw the line on how to ID and destroy terror threats and cells located here?
Tough questions indeed, but we gain nothing by blindly following the path the Left seems intent on taking, there is no moral relativism between radical Islam and fundamentalist Christianity. There is nothing but peril in the idea that we must put blind “tolerance” above common sense either. The biggest aid we could have is for those good and decent Muslims to speak out against Jihad, and against terrorism, and against those who support implementing Sharia Law here. Those Muslims are as welcome here as any other faiths are. Terrorism is as much their enemy as it is ours, and they have as much to benefit from its defeat as any other American.
Who knew Andy McCarthy listened to my radio show
American Glob links to a story about Andy McCarthy asking what if the Ground Zero Mosque was a church and the roles were reversed? What would the Left be saying then? A question I asked on my radio show three weeks ago.
Terrorism expert and National Review contributor Andy McCarthy asks an excellent question about the proposed mosque near Ground Zero. How would this play out if the situation was reversed?
A friend poses the following: Imagine that there really were these fundamentalist Christian terror cells all over the United States, as the Department of Homeland Security imagines. Let’s say a group of five of these terrorists hijacked a plane, flew it to Mecca, and plowed it into the Kaaba.
Now let’s say a group of well-meaning, well-funded Christians — Christians whose full-time job was missionary work — decided that the best way to promote healing would be to pressure the Saudi government to drop its prohibition against permitting non-Muslims into Mecca so that these well-meaning, well-funded Christian missionaries could build a $100 million dollar church and community center a stone’s throw from where the Kaaba used to be — you know, as a bridge-building gesture of interfaith understanding.
What do you suppose President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, the New York Times, and other Ground Zero mosque proponents would say about the insensitive, provocative nature of the proposal?
Do you think the State Department would make the leader of the Christian missionaries a special emissary and send him to represent the United States on diplomatic business overseas?
Now, I know what you are thinking.You are thinking that certainly McCarthy thought of that on hs own,and I am sure he did, after all he is a very bright guy. I am sure many others have thought the same thing too. Just pointing out that if you read this blog, and listen to my show, well, sometimes I am ahead of the curve.
Your DaleyGator Blog of the Day!
Today, we honor a past winner, The Washington Rebel, the Rebs over there led by Irish Cicero, post a plethora of high quality subject matter, and this post defending the greatness of America is an absolute must read! Here is a small taste.
America was the first nation designed by the people to govern themselves, to overcome the idea that society needed a structure of elites, local geniuses who would make sure society ran on a logical path. Even the Magna Carta was between the nobles and the king, not the peasantry. America elevated the peasantry, it did not eliminate poverty, it eliminated systematic, indentured poverty, then reinstituted it under the liberal “programs.” Until the concept of welfare and social security poverty was a matter of individual circumstance, but welfare, by eliminating the requirement of work for survival, guaranteed poverty on a grand scale.
When America was free and unfettered from hundreds of federal regulations it fostered the greatest age of invention ever spawned from a nation in its infancy. With barely a century under its belt, America was the incubator of all great technological advancements. And, while most incentives have been removed, restricted, or commandeered by the government, America is still capable of incredible advancements.
AMEN! Go read it all!

And this time, the award goes to Mayor Nanny, Michael Bloomberg for considering smoking bans at New York parks and beaches!
NEW YORK (CBS 2) – From the inside-out, there may be a new “no-go” when it comes to smoking.
Mayor Bloomberg’s anti-smoking crusade could be coming to a city park or public beach near you, a plan plenty of people say crosses the line, reports CBS 2′s Dave Carlin.
CBS 2 has learned that Mayor Bloomberg is looking at a possible smoking ban for all city parks and public beaches.
“Now you’re gonna stop me from smoking in the park? Where am I gonna smoke at?” West Side resident Anthony Cintron said.
“What’s next? It will be something else in six months,” said another New Yorker.
