Going to Hell: Immigration Officer Impersonator

This guy ripped off illegal immigrants by promising them green cards in exchange for about $1,700. He convinced them that he was an immigration officer, and then stole their money.

They gave money to this guy? Maybe they deserved to get ripped off.
-
"Court documents allege he used what appeared to be a federal badge, ID and ICE jacket, and his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to convince undocumented immigrants to pay him thousands for work documents which never arrived. "
He looked happier before he got caught.
-
He got away with about $25,000. Which looks like pennies compared to how much big government and big business have been taking out of our pockets lately. But they were pennies from people more desperate and needy than we.

Utahns are notoriously gullible when it comes to getting ripped off. And Hillmar is not the first to use his LDS standing to rip people off. Former bishop Shawn R. Merriman just got caught running a ponzi scheme, in which he ripped off people from the ward he used to oversee. He stole about $20,000,000.

See? The illegal immigrants are practically Utah natives in their naivete. Of course, the illegals were paying someone for the priveledge to work here, whereas the legals were paying someone for the priveledge to not work here.

    Did I ever tell you about the rip-off artist I met in Omaha?

How to overcome hate

One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.

Ron Paul sticks it to the man

Paul makes fun of the Nobel, chastises Reps and Dems from not criticizing their own parties, and encourages dissent: I'm a fan of both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, who seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. But they are both anti-war, anti-interventionist, and honest thinkers.

Meet Thomas Paine

"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
