Obama: Chris Kyle? Who’s Chris Kyle? Flopping Aces ^ \| 02-16-13 \| DrJohn Two weeks and counting. Whitney Houston died on February 11, 2012. Her death was caused by choices she made on her own. President Barack Obama reacted within two days WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama’s thoughts and prayers are with Whitney Houston’s family, especially her daughter. Press secretary Jay Carney says it’s hard not to be an admirer of the singer’s “immense talent.” And, he says it’s a tragedy to lose somebody so talented at such a young age. Carney said he wasn’t sure if Obama and Houston ever had met. The 48-year-old singer died Saturday. He had thoughts and prayers for the Houston family. So far he’s had no thoughts and prayers for the Kyle family. Chris Kyle died on February 2 trying to help a fellow vet. ARLINGTON, Tex. — Military leaders, law enforcement officials and thousands of others gathered at Cowboys Stadium here on Monday to remember Chris Kyle, the retired Navy SEAL sniper and author who was killed with another man, investigators say, by a troubled veteran he was trying to help. In a tribute filled with prayers, eulogies and country tunes sung by Randy Travis, friends and fellow SEAL members remembered Mr. Kyle, 38, as the military’s deadliest sniper, a Navy man who hated the water and a devoted father who walked away from his military career to spend more time with his wife and two children, ages 8 and 6. “God knew it would take the toughest and softest-hearted man on earth to get a hardheaded, cynical, hard-loving woman like me to see what God needed me to see, and he chose you for the job,” Mr. Kyle’s wife, Taya Kyle, told the audience. “He chose well.” On Feb. 2, Mr. Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield took the veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, 25, to a remote shooting range in Erath County. According to the authorities, Mr. Routh turned his weapon on the two men, shooting and killing them before fleeing in Mr. Kyle’s truck. Investigators believe that Mr. Kyle, an expert marksman who survived four tours of duty in Iraq and became known for spotting enemy targets at extraordinary distances, was gunned down at point-blank range by a mentally ill young man he had tried to befriend and help, as he had many other veterans struggling to adjust to life at home. Not a word from Obama. Not a word from Leon Panetta Not a word from Joint Chief Dempsey Not as of February 12 and not as of today. Whitney Houston self-destructed and her family got Obama’s thoughts and prayers. Chris Kyle was an American hero who died while helping others and Obama doesn’t even know his name. That’s screwed up. Chris Kyle wasn’t Hollywood enough for Obama, but Kyle was remembered by those who really matter.

Black pro-life group protests NAACP ceremony; Twitter shuts their account down by Kirsten Andersen 2/13/13 LOS ANGELES, February 13, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) -- Black Pro-Life groups protested the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) close relationship with Planned Parenthood and its positive stance toward homosexual “marriage” by picketing the organization’s Image Awards ceremony on February 1. Although the LAPD was called in, no arrests were made. According to the pro-life organizers the protest was peaceful but effective, garnering the attention of the Image Award’s organizers and attendees. In response to the protest, the NAACP deviated from their schedule, opening the doors an hour earlier than planned. “I guess they didn’t want attendees to hear what the protesters had to say,” said Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr.’s and a longtime pro-life activist. Nevertheless, the protesters were successful in one of their primary goals, which was to get their literature into the hands of those attending the awards. Some of those materials included information on Tonya Reaves, a black woman who bled to death when Planned Parenthood waited five hours to call an ambulance after tearing a hole in her uterus. Another brochure called “Safe and Legal” gave more information about the dangers of legalized abortion. Passersby were interested enough that the protesters ran out of material, reported Dr. King.

Juan McCain defends immigration plan to angry residents By CRISTINA SILVA \| Associated Press news.yahoo.com View PhotoAssociated Press/Matt York - U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., listens to a question during a town hall, Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013, in Sun Lakes, Ariz. McCain defended his proposed immigration overhaul to an angry …more PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona took center stage in the national immigration debate Tuesday as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano toured the state's border with Mexico and Sen. John McCain defended his proposed immigration overhaul to an angry crowd in suburban Phoenix. The presence of the top officials is the latest sign that Arizona will play a prominent role in the immigration debate as President Barack Obama looks to make it a signature issue of his second term. Napolitano toured the border near Nogales with the highest-ranking official at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the incoming chairman of the Senate's homeland security committee and an Arizona congressman. Napolitano, Arizona's former governor, said afterward that comprehensive immigration reform will strengthen the nation's border against criminals and other threats. Also Tuesday, McCain hosted two town hall meetings in Arizona, during which he defended his immigration plan to upset residents concerned about border security. A bipartisan group of senators — including Arizona Republicans McCain and Jeff Flake — want assurances on border security as Congress weighs what could be the biggest changes to immigration law in nearly 30 years. Arizona is the only state with both of its senators working on immigration reform in Congress, a sign of the state's widely debated border security issues. Immigration activists and elected officials say it's only natural for Arizona to continue to take the forefront in the national conversation on immigration after years of internal debate on the topic. "No state in this country has had more experience with enforcement-only immigration laws than Arizona," said Todd Landfried, executive director of Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform, which opposes the state's tough immigration laws. During a heated town hall gathering in the Phoenix suburb of Sun Lakes, McCain said the border near Yuma is largely secure, but he said smugglers are using the border near Tucson to pump drugs into Phoenix. He said immigration reform should be contingent on better border security that must rely largely on technology able to detect border crossings. McCain said a tamper-proof Social Security card would help combat identity fraud, and noted any path to citizenship must require immigrants to learn English, cover back taxes and pay fines for breaking immigration laws. "There are 11 million people living here illegally," he said. "We are not going to get enough buses to deport them." Some audience members shouted out their disapproval. One man yelled that only guns would discourage illegal immigration. Another man complained that illegal immigrants should never be able to become citizens or vote. A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits. McCain urged compassion. "We are a Judeo-Christian nation," he said. McCain's other town hall meeting took place in Green Valley, south of Tucson. Arizona gained international recognition as an epicenter of the U.S. immigration debate when it passed its tough anti-immigrant law in 2010. A handful of other states — including Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah — have since adopted variations of Arizona's law. Arizona has the nation's eighth-highest population of illegal immigrants, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Center. In 2010, illegal immigrants represented roughly 6 percent of the state's population. Activists said Arizona's anti-immigrant laws inspired many illegal immigrants to demand more rights. Last week, some college students rallied outside Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's office for driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. "They no longer are afraid to come and say, 'I am not able to vote, but I can make my voice heard, and they have to listen to me,'" said community organizer Abril Gallardo. A report released in January showed the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson sector remains the busiest along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Tucson sector accounted for 38 percent of all drug seizures and 37 percent of all apprehensions along the border. Brewer said last week the border cannot be declared safe until the people living near it feel secure from drug and human trafficking. But Democratic Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona told Latino and black community leaders at a Phoenix luncheon Tuesday that Arizonans need to spread the word on how much more secure the border has become. "There are lots of folks who don't live in Arizona who have no idea what the border is like," Sinema said. Napolitano toured the border Tuesday afternoon with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar, Democratic Rep. Ron Barber of Arizona and Democratic Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware. Carper is the incoming chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. She said in a statement after the tour that border crossings are down 50 percent since 2008 and 78 percent since their peak in 2000. ___ Cristina Silva can be reached at twitter.com.
