Written by: Carolyn Hileman

I don’t know about you but I feel like I have just woke up in some sort of bad fairy tale, we have democrats out singing the praises of illegal immigrants and republicans desperately looking for courage. We have high gas prices simply because we must protect the owls and other cute furry creatures at our expense, the one place in America that pushes hard to save us money is maligned and constantly under bombardment and we all know who that is. 

I don’t like to harp on the democrats but the simple fact of the matter is any time you see something that is costing the American people double it usually has the democratic parties name on it somewhere. While I must agree that the republicans can be stupid and weak they still do not actively set out to hurt you and me the tax payer. The Democratic Party is for rights, anyone else’s but ours, just take a look at what they are for, they are for the rights of the poor immigrant workers, not the ones here legally but those who are here illegally and are draining health care services for those who are here legally and need their help. 

They are for protecting rights, not those of humans but those cute little fuzzy creatures and a few that aren’t so cute as well. They would rather you and I pay $3.00 a gallon for gas or more rather than disturb those animals habitat, to hell with our habitat, they can always blame that on the big oil companies who by the way provide jobs so that people can afford the gas that they must charge that much for to appease the unions and get their people insurance and pay raises when ever the union says they must. That is another thing the unions, the largest legal mafia in the world, they can walk into your business and tell you how to run it and they can do it legally. Anyone else tried that they would be on trial for extortion but since they are backed by the Democratic Party they can do it legally, kind of like the illegal immigrants are not really illegal immigrants they are just undocumented workers, the unions are not well funded mafia they are simply a small group that is for workers rights. 

Today when you stop for gas just remember that you are protecting the animals, the animals that are standing in the way of our drilling in America and being able to be energy efficient, which is something else interesting do any of you remember eminent domain? You know the liberal backed land grab, they can take our home if they decide they can get more taxes from someone else but they can’t take the homes of these animals so that we can drill our own oil. Now you tell me we are not living in the land of oz, illegal is no longer illegal, immanent domain can only be used to take property from humans for the common good, not from animals standing in the way of energy independence and companies that provide jobs like Wal-Mart are under attack daily because they will not bend over for the unions. 

Let me explain a little about how the unions work, they force their way into your company, they force you to pay your employees what they think is a fair wage, they force you to provide insurance, day care, days off and anything else they can get away with. Now when your company finishes paying all of these demands you must raise your price in order to be profitable, you raise your price to be profitable and you are no longer competitive, when you are no longer competitive you go out of business or lay off tons of workers. The unions just pick up and go to the next company and drag them down as well. All of the things we just discussed are Democratic Party favorites, the union, the environment, and the illegal immigrants, interesting isn’t it that a party who constantly says over and over that they are for the working people are the very ones who are against us.

Before leaving for their Easter recess, members of the Senate tried to foist a so-called compromise Amnesty bill on the American people -- amnesty legislation that was actually WORSE than the original McCain-Kennedy "Scamnesty" bill.

I'll give you the details in the next section of this letter, but first, I want to thank all of you who deluged the Senate with your Blast Fax messages!

Because of YOU, our Senators -- in fact ALL 55 Republican Senators -- voted AGAINST bringing this so-called "compromise" and the McCain-Kennedy "Scamnesty" bill to the floor of the Senate. 

That's a tremendous accomplishment!  Two weeks ago you were given little chance of victory in this fight and NOW victory appears to be within your grasp!  All the credit goes to you.  Your Blast Faxes had a tremendous effect!

But we are not out of the woods yet!  The liberal media and the special interests would love for you to believe that this fight is close to won -- they would love for you to let your guard down -- they would love for you to forget about this fight and move on to other issues. 

And that's exactly what you MUST NOT do because, pro-illegal immigration forces have re-grouped and doubled their efforts to reverse what they see as a temporary set-back.  

That's why you MUST continue to bombard them with your non-negotiable demands for secure borders and no blanket amnesty!

 

Use the hyperlink below to send your URGENT BLAST FAX messages to President Bush, and EACH of the members of the leadership of the House and Senate -- Republican and Democrat.

Tell them that you want NO COMPROMISES!  Tell them you will not support ANY legislation that seeks to reward more than 11 million ILLEGAL aliens for breaking our laws by coming into this country illegally.  

Tell them that you will not support ANY legislation that does not contain REAL measures to secure our borders and the monetary appropriations necessary to implement those measures.

Who Asked For A Compromise?

You probably woke up last week to the news that a "compromise" to the McCain-Kennedy "scamnesty" bill was in the works -- a compromise that NO ONE asked for.

And it may shock you to find out about some of the hidden time bombs that were tucked-away in this so-called compromise.

Here's what Kris Kobach wrote in a piece published by the New York Post :

Like that surprise hidden on page 302 - which would replace the country's entire bench of experienced immigration judges with pro-immigration advocates. 

With a few exceptions, today's immigration judges (who serve for life) are dedicated to enforcing the law, and they do a difficult job well. This bill forces all immigration judges to step down after serving seven years - and restricts replacements to attorneys with at least five years' experience practicing immigration law. 

Virtually the only lawyers who'll meet that requirement are attorneys who represent aliens in the immigration courts - who tend to be some of the nation's most liberal lawyers, and who are certainly unlikely as a class to be fond of enforcing immigration laws. 

It gets worse. Immigration judges are now appointed by the attorney general - whose job it is to see to it that laws are enforced. The Senate bill gives that power to a separate bureaucrat, albeit one directly appointed by the president, making immigration courts more susceptible to leftward polarization.

Can you believe it -- immigration courts presided over by judges who spent at least five years of their legislative careers defending illegal aliens?

Let's send our Senators a clear message.  The American people want secure borders, NO blanket amnesty and NO COMPROMISES!

How About This One?

Consider the amendment offered by Illinois liberal Dick Durbin:

This amendment repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. 

Also included is a provision that gives amnesty to nine states that have been flouting the law. 

In other words, if a young person in Indiana wants to attend a university in California -- say UCLA -- he or she MUST pay an out-of-state tuition rate but an illegal alien is "entitled" to pay an in-state tuition rate.

Of course, such a provision just adds insult to injury for the people of California.  According to the Sierra Times, illegal aliens already siphon off over $7,700,000,000.00 (that's 7.7 billion) from the public education system.

That doesn't sound like "compromise" legislation to me.

The Senate will address immigration after the Easter recess and they need to hear from you.

The American people want secure borders, NO blanket amnesty and NO COMPROMISES and the Durbin amendment simply DOESN'T fit the bill.

Meanwhile, Conservative Efforts To Amend The Bill Were Blocked

Did you hear about the amendment proposed by Senators John Cornyn and Jon Kyl?  Probably not!

In fact, liberals in the Senate successfully blocked the amendment from even being considered.

Specifically, this amendment would exclude felons, repeat offenders, and those ordered by the courts to leave the country from getting on the citizenship fast-track.

What's wrong with excluding felons from citizenship?

Absolutely nothing, unless you're a liberal Senator.

Let's stay on message.  Tell our leaders in the Senate that the American people want secure borders, NO blanket amnesty and NO COMPROMISES!

But Here's The Biggest Cut Of All

But here's the biggest cut of all!  This so-called "compromise" was not really a compromise at all.

Simply put, this Senate compromise opened a path to citizenship to illegal aliens who could provide documentation to show that they have lived and worked in the United States for a certain period of time.

What's wrong with that?  Here's what Congressman Tom Tancredo said:

"The Senate deal asks people who have broken the law for years - often using fraudulent documents - to provide proof that they've lived here. I can guarantee that many of those fraudulent documents - which law enforcement hasn't been able to detect yet - will be used to obtain legal status."

Tancredo is right!   In fact, conservative columnist Linda Chavez noted that millions of illegal aliens currently pay into the Social Security system using fraudulent Social Security cards and that in 2002 alone, the Social Security Administration reported it had collected $7 billion in payroll taxes and $1.5 billion in Medicare taxes from workers who could not be matched with valid Social Security numbers.

And that nasty little revelation brings us to what is most lacking in most of the Senate immigration proposals introduced thus far:

Here's what Kris Koback wrote in the article referenced earlier:

The third nasty surprise lies in what the bill fails to do. The measure envisions a massive amnesty for illegal aliens now in the country - but doesn't give the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) the personnel or infrastructure to implement the amnesty. 

In March, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a scathing report on the CIS's inability to effectively detect immigration fraud. 

The last time we enacted a major amnesty, in 1986, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (the CIS's predecessor agency) processed some 3 million amnesty applications from illegal aliens. It found 398,000 cases of fraud - and missed thousands more. Now CIS may have to implement an amnesty four times larger. 

Yet CIS already faces a backlog of several million applications for immigration benefits. And the GAO found that CIS managers pressure staff into "meeting production goals" by approving applications quickly - which means that fraud goes undetected. Adding millions of amnesty applications can only make things worse. And the latest Senate "compromise" - giving immediate amnesty only to aliens who've been in the country for five years or more - makes the process even more complex and fraud-prone, as illegals use fake documents to "prove" long-term residence. 

In 1986, the terrorist Mahmud "The Red" Abouhalima fraudulently got amnesty as a seasonal agricultural worker (in fact, he was a New York cabbie). That status allowed him to travel to Afghanistan for terrorist training - which he later used as one of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. 

Terrorists know how to game the system. Janice Kephart, former counsel to the 9/11 Commission, released a study last year on how easily terrorists obtain immigration benefits. Of 94 alien terrorists in the United States, she found that 59 were successful immigration frauds. That includes six of the 9/11 hijackers. 

The Senate bill does nothing to address this problem - while throwing a massive new load on the bureaucracy. A new amnesty will almost certainly ensure that more terrorists gain the legal right to walk our streets. 
 

What's the bottom line?  Simply put, legislation which does not specifically allocate funds to implement and enforce the provisions of the legislation is not worth the paper on which it is printed.

Our elected leaders know this and now you know it.

Our mission is clear.  We need to make our Senators aware that the American people want secure borders and NO blanket amnesty. 

And we need to drive that message home.

Let's get to work!

menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12
Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager
at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have
six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't
order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"
"That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six
McNuggets

TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just
a few items and the lady behind me put her things on
the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those
"dividers" that they keep by the cash register and
placed it between our things so they wouldn't get
mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she
picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the
bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar
code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I
said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll
buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the
things and left. She had no clue what had just
happened.

THREE A lady at work was seen putting a credit card
into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she
was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for
a credit card number, so she was using the ATM
"thingy."

FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping
beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She
replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to
this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my
car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant
convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.
"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing
it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and
manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you
drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a
long walk."

FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none
too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a
secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper.
What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the
secretary told her With that, the intern took her last
remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the
photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a
large motor home was towed into the garage. The front
of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the
whole thing generally looked like an extra in
"Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He
told me that the driver had set the "cruise control"
and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department
in the central office of a large bank. Employees in
the field call him when they have problems with their
computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one
of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got
smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys
have a fire downtown?"

EIGHT Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by
placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it
with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's
lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed
the copy button each time they thought the suspect
wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector"
was working, the suspect confessed. 

NINE A mother calls 911 very worried, asking the
dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the
emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The
dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and
he should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him
some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to
emergency

&lt;strong&gt;American flag v. Mexican flag at CA. high school--disgusting public acts
THE AMERICAN FLAG COMES SECOND&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major news networks.&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; You should.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
03/28 : Student protest in Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High.

Meanwhile: Mexico ! C heers Passage of Immigration Bill

Like I said: Welcome to reconquista.

 

I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail. Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray".  Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one.........

 

 

The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.

Written by: Carolyn Hileman
Wasn’t it just last week that the democrats were heralding the new immigrant work force and how we Americans should be glad they were here to mow our lawns. Telling them in public I might add that it was OK we would take care of them, which should be really hard because according to the democrats our economy is so bad we can’t afford to feed ourselves, that we need to take over Wal-Mart and use the food to form a soup line. Suddenly we have so much milk and honey flowing that we not only can feed the twenty million already here but a bunch more.

Something tells me that republicans were not the only ones making phone calls on the free number, because now Dean says securing our borders is a priority. Of course we all know he means making it more secure for the illegal’s to cross. You know set up water fountains in the dessert, maybe send over air conditioned trucks. I don’t suppose he saw Kennedy and Hillary out there talking to them in Spanish and telling them how much we needed them. Take heed folks, because if we are ever invaded by Muslims or anyone else they will be doing the same.   This weeks topic is the White House shake up and anything else they can think of other than immigration because they got bit in the butt and they just want it all to go away. 

Man wouldn’t I love to see some of those rabid reporters asking Hillary “Do you regret telling the illegal immigrants that you welcomed them?” Or “What about that comment you made about Jesus being an immigrant?” If you noticed even the media is not going after Bush on the immigrant issue, want to know why? Because if they do then they have to go after the democrats and they wouldn’t want to do that now would they? What is going on here is what always happens, they bring it up plant it in our minds then go in the corner and wait for it to die down. What say we keep the fire going, keep the topic going strong, call all of them what they are which is a bunch of wimps who can’t stop a bunch of illegal immigrants from taking over our streets. Call them up use their free number and tell them what big wimps they are, that they are getting their collective butts kicked by a bunch of people who have no rights as a citizen. You can reach any Senator or Congressperson toll free by calling the D.C. switchboard at 888.355.3588. That is right you can not only call them the wimp they are but you can do it at no cost to you. Be sure and pass that number around, take it to work with you, to church, to the game everywhere you go and tell them to call the wimps and tell them no amnesty or guest worker/voter program.

We are faced with the very real possibility of an amnesty of up to 20 million illegal immigrants, and the eventual destruction of the American middle class, if the Congress passes a guestworker/amnesty bill.  This is a very real possibility that will permanently and profoundly alter the fabric of this great nation by destroying countless millions of jobs, destroying the assimilation process and English language standard that made America one cohesive country, erasing borders, and encouraging additional massive illegal immigration in the future.  If there ever was a time to contact your representatives, it would be now.
 
You can easily find your federal elected officials at the following link: http://www3.capwiz.com/c-span/dbq/officials/ (provided by C-Span).  
 
At a minimum, please contact the 2 Senators from your state, and your Congressional representative in the House of Representatives.  You can reach any Senator or Congressperson toll free by calling the D.C. switchboard at 888.355.3588.  Every official also has at least one local district office, so you can multiply the impact of your comments by contacting the local office(s) in addition to the Washington D.C. office.  To find these district offices, be sure to also click on “(more district offices)” at the above link, or check out this list of all Senate offices nationwide: http://www.teamamericapac.org/senatorsaddresses.htm (provided by Team America).  
 
The staff of FIRE Coalition and WeHireAliens.com cannot stress more strongly how important it is that you call or write your representatives at this time.  Visiting the local offices of your Senators and House Representative would have an even greater impact.  We recommend calling ahead of time to schedule an appointment with a staff member, but don’t take no for an answer.  If they tell you they won’t allow visits, show up at their office anyways (just don’t tell them you called in advance), with a letter or personal note.  And bring friends or colleagues along. 
 
Don’t sweat the details.  Most staffers are not inclined to debate you, but merely record your opinion and whether or not you are a voter in that elected official’s district or state.  The message need not be complicated.  At a minimum, we suggest including the following points:
No Guest Worker Plans; 
No Amnesty in any form; 
No rewards for those that broke our laws by entering the U.S. illegally; 
Secure our borders by whatever means necessary (such as National Guard troops assisting the U.S. Border Patrol and/or a fence across ALL the open border areas); and, 
Enforce existing federal laws by imposing fines, even jail terms, on unscrupulous employers that hire illegal aliens instead of Americans or legal residents.
 
Poll after poll demonstrates that vast majorities of Americans are on our side:
82% think that not enough is being done along the borders to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the country (Time Magazine, March 2006) 
60% unfavorable towards amnesty for illegal immigrants [vs. only 32% favorable] (NBC News/Wall Street Journal, March 2006) 
81% think it’s ‘unfair’ to grant rights to illegal immigrants while thousands wait to come to the U.S. legally (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, April, 2006) 
61% stated they are less sympathetic toward illegal immigrants after the recent protests (Zogby, April, 2006) 
74% favor major penalties for employers convicted of hiring illegal immigrants and strongly enforcing it (Time Magazine, January, 2006) 
66% are concerned that illegal immigration will lead to an increase in terrorism and take jobs away from U.S. citizens (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, April, 2006)
We have the numbers, but we need to get Americans and legal residents to contact their politicians.  If nothing else, please make that commitment to make a few brief phone calls each day until the U.S. Congress hears our voices.

By Ralph Z. Hallow
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 20, 2006 


Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean yesterday called border security his party's top immigration priority for November. 
    "The first thing we want is tough border control," he said. "We have to do a much better job on our borders than George Bush has done. And then we can go to the policy disagreements about how to get it done." 
    Republicans reacted with surprise to Mr. Dean's announcement, which puts the DNC chief's views at odds with those of many Democrats in Congress. 
    "If Dean means what he says about border enforcement, that would put the Democrats somewhere to the right of President Bush on immigration," said Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican. 
    A spokesman for the Republican National Committee dismissed Mr. Dean's "newfound commitment to border security" as "not believable." 
    A Gallup Poll of 1,004 Americans this month found that 81 percent think illegal immigration to the United States is out of control and that 79 percent think it's extremely or very important for the government to take steps this year to halt the flood of illegal aliens. 
    Mr. Dean said he wants "immigrants who obey the law and pay taxes to be able to apply for citizenship. We support earned legalization vigorously. And, much to my surprise, so do the American people." 
    Mr. Dean said his party will make immigration an issue as part of its strategy to "nationalize" the fall elections and is opening a television advertising campaign -- beginning with Spanish-language pitches on radio stations in three Southwestern states -- that puts tougher border enforcement first. 
    Only recently, after prodding by Republican lawmakers who said they were feeling heat from frustrated constituents, has Mr. Bush applied rhetorical emphasis to stanching the influx of illegal aliens. 
    Nevertheless, the latest Bush-backed immigration proposal in the Senate includes a guest-worker program that some Republican lawmakers denounce as an amnesty that would reward lawbreakers. 
    Speaking yesterday at a breakfast for political reporters at the St. Regis Hotel, hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Mr. Dean told reporters that Democrats would attack Republicans on "values" in this fall's midterm elections. 
    "The biggest issues in the elections are character issues," Mr. Dean said, vowing to go after "the president's and the Republicans' trustworthiness -- their honesty -- and to their competence. And they're going to lose big on both those issues."

Two Houston men were arrested Wednesday for hiring undocumented workers at a shipping and supply manufacturing plant and hundreds of the company's employees were taken into custody during an immigration raid that spanned nine states

Abelino ``Lino'' Chicas, 40, the assistant general manager of the Houston West IFCO Systems plant and James Rice, 36, a former IFCO regional general manager were charged with conspiring to transport, harbor, and encourage undocumented workers to reside in the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain.

ROTSTEIN
ASSOCIATED PRESS 

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - 

Minuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox has a message for President Bush: Build new security fencing along the border with Mexico or private citizens will. 

Simcox said Wednesday that he's sending an ultimatum to the president, through the media, of course - "You can't get through to the president any other way" - to deploy military reserves and the National Guard to the Arizona border by May 25. 

Or, Simcox said, by the Memorial Day weekend Minuteman Civil Defense Corps volunteers and supporters will break ground to start erecting fencing privately. 

"We have had landowners approach," Simcox said in an interview. "We've been working on this idea for a while. We're going to show the federal government how easy it is to build these security fences, how inexpensively they can be built when built by private people and free enterprise." 

Simcox said a half-dozen landowners along the Arizona-Mexico border have said they will allow fencing to be placed on their borderlands, and others in California, Texas and New Mexico have agreed to do so as well. 

"Certainly, as with everything else, we're only able to cover a small portion of the border," Simcox said. "The state and federal government have bought up most of the land around the border. I suspect that's why we'll never get control of the border." 

But he said the plan is to put up secure fencing that truly will be an effective deterrent, and to show how easily it can be accomplished. 

Simcox gave this description of the envisioned barrier-and-fencing complex: 

Start with a 6-foot deep trench so a vehicle can't crash through; behind it, roll of concertina (coiled, razor-edged barbed wire), in front of a 15-foot high heavy-gauge steel mesh fence angled outward at the top. 

Behind the fence will be a 60- to 70-foot wide unpaved but graded dirt road, along with inexpensive, mounted video cameras that can be monitored from home computers. On the other side of the road will be a second, 15-foot fence, with more concertina wire on its outside. 

"It's a very simple, effective design based on feedback we've had from Border Patrol and the military," Simcox said. "It's a fence that can be built on the cheap, effective and secure." 

Simcox said supporters will try to build the fencing with volunteer labor. Surveyors and contractors have offered to help with the design and survey work, he said, and some have said they will provide heavy equipment. 

Simcox said those involved in the planning hope to keep costs to between $125 and $150 a foot. 

Access to land literally on the border is an issue because so much is state-leased trust property or federally owned, he said. 

"You may have to deal with a situation where private property owners erect their own fences and may be faced with the president sending the National Guard to prevent them from protecting their private property," Simcox said. 

He said the Minuteman plan is "to keep turning up the heat" until President Bush has to respond somehow.

CNSNews.com Senior Editor
April 20, 2006

(CNSNews.com) - A conservative advocacy group says it is launching a multi-state ad campaign targeting U.S. senators who support amnesty for illegal aliens under the guise of "guest worker" programs.

William Greene, president of the RightMarch.com political action committee, said senators will have a pile of correspondence waiting for them when they return to their offices next week.

"Our members have sent over 300,000 faxes, emails, and hand-delivered letters to the U.S. Senate, to stop the proposed amnesty for illegal aliens," Greene said.

He believes a majority of senators are "just waiting for their chance to vote for amnesty" when the Senate reconvenes next week. "They're ready to vote the opposite of how their constituents want them to vote -- so now, we're taking this battle to them," he said. 

Supporters of a pending Senate bill refuse to describe "earned citizenship" as amnesty, but many conservatives say there's little difference. Critics object to any plan that would "reward" people who come to the United States illegally.

RightMarch.com PAC said it is now running radio ads in the home states of several pro-amnesty GOP senators, exposing their voting record on the issue, and "whipping up an avalanche of phone calls to their home offices demanding that they vote the 'right' way on illegal immigration. 

"Our ads are running today in states like South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Kansas, with a potential listening audience of over five million people," said Greene. "These are powerful, 'in-your-face' ads that will have a strong impact on these senators. 

"We've said it before, and we'll say it again: many times, these legislators have to 'feel the heat' in order to 'see the light.' Our ads are making them 'feel that heat!'" 

The RightMarch.com PAC describes itself as a web-based, conservative political action committee that gives hundreds of thousands of hardworking, patriotic Americans across the country a strong collective voice in the political process.

(April 20) - Americans have cut back gasoline use in apparent response to increasing prices, separate surveys by the government and a petroleum trade organization showed Wednesday.

Gas use last month was 0.6% less than a year ago, the American Petroleum Institute reported, because "high fuel prices have led to decreased demand for gasoline and other refined oil products."

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said gasoline use the past four weeks was up a slight 0.6% vs. a year ago. Typical is an increase of 1.5%, and that's the growth rate assumed in many industry, analyst and government forecasts.

Cutting back just a little more could cause gasoline prices - which average $2.801 nationwide, up 57.7 cents from last year, according to motorist organization AAA - to drop dramatically, one veteran analyst says.

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"If everyone decided to drive 3% less the next 30 days, prices would crash," says Tom Kloza, senior analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

In this instance, construction jobs, jobs that could be done by the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Screw the victims, the Mexicans have arrived. Quoting from Devvy Kidd’s article at NewsWithViews.com:

Linda Swope, who operates Complete Employment Services Inc. in Mobile, Ala., told The Washington Times last week that the workers — whom she described as U.S. citizens, residents of Alabama and predominantly black — had been “urgently requested” by contractors hired to rebuild and clear devastated areas of the state, but were told to leave three job sites when the foreign workers showed up.

“After Katrina, our company had 70 workers on the job the first day, but the companies decided they didn’t need them anymore because the Mexicans had arrived,” Mrs. Swope said. “I assure you it is not true that Americans don’t want to work. We had been told that 270 jobs might be available, and we could have filled every one of them with men from this area, most of whom lost their jobs because of the hurricane,” she said. “When we told the guys they would not be needed, they actually cried … and we cried with them. This is a shame.”

"We are outraged," parents Rob and Robin Wirthlin told the local Article 8 Alliance. "This is a highly charged social issue. Why are they introducing it in the second grade? And we cannot present our family's point of view to our children if they don't tell us what they're saying to them." 

According to a statement from the traditional-values organization, March 24 the Wirthlins' second-grade son came home from Estabrook Elementary School and repeated to his mother the story read to him earlier that day about men getting married to each other. His teacher had read the book "King and King" to the class, in which a prince doesn't want to marry any princesses, but instead falls in love with a princess' brother and marries him in a big palace wedding. 

The Wirthlins say they immediately contacted the teacher, Heather Kramer, who acknowledged she had read the book to the class and admitted that it was not part of the curriculum. 

It was explained to the couple that since same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, discussion of the matter is fair game — parents do not have to be informed before or after the issue is presented. Kramer reportedly told the Wirthlins that the theme of the day was "weddings" and the teacher wanted to present all points of view on the subject. 

Does this kind of stuff even belong in a school, much less the second grade? No matter what your views are on gay marraige, this is a hot topic across the nation, and is a family values issue to many parents. In my opinion, this is nothing more than indoctrination of views that goes against the religious views of many families. To leave parents out of the loop on such a controversial topic, with no way to opt their child out and no notification so that an alternate view point can be presented is a pure attempt at indoctrination. If this were a debate topic in a highschool, I wouldn't have a problem…but it is clearly a one-sided view that has no place in a second grade classroom. Here's a note of advice for the gay activists: Trying to force your views on American children will not further the agenda of acceptance or tolerance, it will only cause backlash. Back off of the kids.

By  anonymous 
I grew up with practical parents. A mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a Name for it... A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So... while we have it... it's best we love it... and care for it... and fix it when it's broken...... and heal it when it's sick. This is true... for marriage.... and old cars.... and children with bad report cards..... and dogs with bad hips.... and aging parents..... and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special..... and so, we keep them close! I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way.. Now it's your turn to send this to those people that are "keepers" in your life Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Keep them close!

Brought to you by the illegal immigrants in America
This announcement written by: Carolyn Hileman

On May 1, 2006 the illegal immigrants that are in America ILLEGALLY will stage a walk out of business across this great country of ours, there in lies our opportunity to send them back. Yes that is right not only on that day is there a possibility that you might get a job but that you can make a loud resounding statement to our leaders that you do in fact want those jobs…. Since they seem to think they can bring us to our collective knees by staying home it is time to show them what Americans are made of and that we fight fire with fire. 

Everyone knows at least one person who needs a job and are not to proud to take what they can get till something better comes along. Maybe you are that person, and maybe this is your chance to not only help yourself but your country as well. They are going around saying that we American citizens are to lazy to work, only problem with that analogy is that we pay out more to our illegal residents in welfare and food stamps than to the average American citizens. Help me get the word out everyone I would love to see lines of Americans waiting for a job opportunity instead of a bunch illegal immigrants marching in our streets telling us what their rights are. Today we take back our country ONE JOB AT A TIME…..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548607058651876?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548607058651876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548607058651876&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548607058651876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548607058651876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/announcing-americans-right-to-work-day.html' title='Announcing American’s right to work day!!!'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548241569730375</id><published>2006-04-19T14:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T14:33:44.630-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Border security undermined</title><content type='html'>The ultra-partisan Democrats in the U.S. Senate have done it again. 

10 days ago, Democrats put their petty political ambitions in front of the best interests of our nation by blocking Republican efforts to strengthen Border Security.

Democrat Leader Harry Reid scuttled efforts to improve Border Security, even though he knew that this issue was important to most Americans -- An April 6-9 CBS national poll stated that 87% of Americans believe illegal immigration is either a very serious or a somewhat serious problem for our nation.

17 Democrat-held Senate seats are up for election this fall, and the best way we can repay Harry Reid and the Democrats for ignoring the will of the American people is shrink their base of power by electing more Republicans to the Senate.

There are no petitions for you to sign. A show of symbolic force will not stop Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer.

I need you to get mad. Get mad because today - more illegals crossed our borders - some with drugs, some with contraband - maybe even some with a weapon of mass destruction - and the Democrats don't care. 

I need you to get mad and agree with me that we need to beat the Democrats in November - because if we don't - the time to be mad will have passed us - it will simply be a time to be afraid.

What I am asking for is your financial support to defeat Democrat Senate candidates. Money to expose their agenda of doom and gloom to the voters. Money to reach out to our voters in key states to make sure they vote against the Democrats cynical agenda.

The NRSC needs your help today. 

We cannot allow the Senate Democrats to get away with undermining the security of our nation for political purposes.

Without control of our own borders, immigration reform isn't worth the paper it's written upon. Most Americans know this to be true.

Almost every American, that is, except Senator Chuck Schumer, Chairman of the Democrats' campaign committee; and Harry Reid, leader of the Democrats in the United States Senate.

Schumer and Reid undercut efforts to strengthen Border Security because they believe that gridlock and inaction will weaken Republicans and help facilitate a Democrat takeover of the Senate.

The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol reported that Chuck Schumer told Reid and his Democrat colleagues that they needed to put politics over the business of the nation. Chuck Schumer said, "he would prefer to have the issue than the bill." "[I]t was a pure political calculation by Schumer. He turned Harry Reid around late Thursday night and early Friday morning.  And therefore, for now we have a deadlock." (Fox News' "Fox News Sunday," 4/9/06)

Schumer and Reid made the decision to kill legislation to secure our borders and immigration reform -- not because it was unpopular or bad for the country -- but because it WAS popular and that would hurt their efforts to install a liberal Democrat Senate Majority.

Reid used a parliamentary maneuver to disallow any amendments to the bill to make it stronger. He knew that without those amendments - such as deporting illegal immigrants who have committed felonies - Republicans would never support the bill and it would fail.

Schumer and Reid have won this legislative round -- but America's security is the real loser.

I need you to help me make sure the Senate Democrats' partisan tactics backfire on Election Day 2006, by making a supporting contribution of at least $25 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee today.

You can help the National Republican Senatorial Committee unseat as many of the liberal Democrats up for election this fall as possible -- and make sure the Democrats' out-of-control, politics before country, pursuit of power is not rewarded.



Even liberals admit Senate Democrats' manipulation of Border Security legislation was pure politics.

The Washington Post wrote, 
"[D]emocrats putting political self-interest over solving a serious policy problem ought to worry that their actions will backfire with the very people whose interests they are purporting to protect." 
(Editorial, "Immigration 'Nirvana,' Lost," The Washington Post, 4/8/06)

Ted Kennedy said, "I think politics got in front of policy on this issue." (Carl Hulse and Rachel L. Swarns, "Blame And Uncertainty As Immigration Deal Fails," The New York Times, 4/8/06)

&lt;strong&gt;I say no money to either side.. When they start supporting Americans we will start supporting them again and not until then... Tell them that when they call wanting your hard earned money. The republicans like to play us against the democrats and say it is all their fault when the truth is they are supposed to be in control, I think it is about time they act like it...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548241569730375?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548241569730375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548241569730375&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548241569730375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548241569730375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/border-security-undermined.html' title='Border security undermined'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548204650831813</id><published>2006-04-19T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T14:27:34.663-07:00</updated><title type='text'>We just do not understand</title><content type='html'>We just do not understand
An open letter to our leaders
Written by: Carolyn Hileman

I have a little boy; he is all of twelve years old on Friday the Mexicans walked out of his school to protest. On Monday they were wearing Mexican flags on their faces, God only knows what today will bring for him to try and comprehend. I would love to be able to explain this to him but I am at a loss of words to explain what is going on in our country. He was raised to obey the law and to respect others, yet he himself is not being respected now. Could one of you please tell me why I should tell him he must obey the rules if no one else is? 

Could you tell me how I am supposed to tell my children to respect their leaders, when their leaders are showing absolutely no respect for the American people? I don’t know whether to be angrier at the Mexicans for being in our streets or at you for not protecting them. How can I look my children in the eyes and tell them it will all be OK when I don’t even believe it myself right now? When the planes flew into our buildings I knew that if nothing else the president would protect us, I don’t have that feeling right now. It feels to me like we are being sold to the highest voting block, and that you really never meant a damn word you said about protecting us.

Where is our shock and awe in our streets? Do the American people have to take to the streets to get your attention? You call this a civil rights rally I call it scary because they are being allowed to destroy our flag with impunity. These people are being allowed to gather without a permit, children are being allowed to walk out of school with impunity and all of our laws are being just thrown by the wayside. Everyone is worried about there being a civil war in Iraq, someone up there needs to look in our streets because if we don’t do something soon our soldiers will be fighting for Mexico and if that is the case I will join the peace movement because I will stand for no blood shed for Little Mexico.

It is a very scary thing to think about the fact that our leaders are no longer bothering to listen to the American people. We no longer have a voice in our own country; it is being drowned out by people who are here illegally. It is past disgusting that the only time two senators of different parties can agree on one thing and that is to sell your country out. The blood is boiling inside and outside of the schools and it will not be long till we all figure out that you have sold us out and we will take to the streets to defend our country. You our leaders will be responsible for any blood that is shed while your people are doing your job. So you try to explain it to your people, come on “W” favorite son of Texas get behind your podium and try to convince us that allowing illegal immigrants to take over our streets and schools is good for America because right now we just do not understand…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548204650831813?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548204650831813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548204650831813&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548204650831813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548204650831813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/we-just-do-not-understand.html' title='We just do not understand'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548055131737377</id><published>2006-04-19T14:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T14:02:31.396-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wake up!!!</title><content type='html'>Wake up!!!

They don’t need air planes to fly into our buildings, they do not need to attack our embassies, they can stand in our streets and effectively take over our country. They don’t need to kill almost three thousand people to get our attention, they simply must chant the words tomorrow we vote and our countries leaders will go belly up. They walked the streets of LA 500,000 strong mostly illegal immigrants calling out that today they march tomorrow they vote. Wake up America what in the hell are we allowing here? There were no INS agents to round these people up and send them home no we stood by and watched!!! 

The White House the congress and senate should be ashamed, you tell us you will protect us yet you cannot put down a rally by people who should not even be here and plan to give them exactly what they want. The wall they talk about is going to be nothing more than a virtual wall, they will only end up paying $2000.00 if they get caught and you know what I really don’t think they are to damn worried about that simply because we ALLOWED them to stand in our streets and demand that we do nothing to them. These laws are only as good as the enforcement and by God no one is enforcing the laws already on the books what makes us think they will now??? 

America we need to wake up and we need to wake up right now, we need to put a stop to this and now and I really don’t care what you think of the president the issue right now is what do your country to be America or Mexico? We simply must let our leaders know that we will not stand for this, we will not allow people that are here illegally to define our country and make policy. We must give them a healthy reminder of just who put them in the office they hold and who will take it away if they don’t get it together soon and let us see with our own eyes that they are picking up and deporting these people. 

They think because we are not in the street that we think that this is just fine, well we don’t and we are here legally. Senator McCain has been quoted as saying that the protests spurred the watered down bill, I think he needs a spur from us about right now and yes MR. McCain this is nothing but amnesty and we demand a real bill with real consequences. We demand that INS do its damn job or be disbanded and allow the people to take over. Enough is enough, call this number NOW!!! 1-888-355-3588  

What next people will they simply allow terrorists to come in here and determine how our country is run? Hell why not we are planning to give prisoners of war the same rights as Americans so next they will be in our streets demanding we do things their way. We had better wake up get out of our cushy chair and do something now or anyone who comes here will have the same rights as you and I and they will by sheer numbers regardless of whether they are citizens write policy come on people wake up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548055131737377?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548055131737377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548055131737377&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548055131737377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548055131737377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/wake-up.html' title='Wake up!!!'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548045566658727</id><published>2006-04-19T14:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T14:00:55.846-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Names</title><content type='html'>Names

Racist pig, elitist, isolationist, the names aren’t new I am called them simply because I consider myself a conservative republican. So if you think you will get anywhere calling me that think again. The fact is I believe that America belongs to the Americans and if that makes me a racist pig oink, oink. It is true what they say if you do it for one you must do it for all, just look in our streets right now for proof. We gave amnesty twenty years ago and these people firmly believe that we owe it to them now; their children will believe we owe it to them as well. 

Let’s get something straight here shall we, I have nothing against immigrants or Mexicans as a whole. I have a problem with people coming into my country in the cover of darkness unchecked and then standing in my streets telling me what to do. They say they just came here for a better life, well you know there is a brick house across the street from me you know I think I like it better than what I have now I think I will just move in. I will just bet you they have much better food than we get so I think I will eat theirs, Oh and their cars are much better than mine so why not, I mean really it shouldn’t be a problem because the United States will give me amnesty.

Oh wait I am here legally so I am subject to the laws of this country so I better not do that or they will put me in jail. I don’t know about most of you but I am guessing you are not all rocket scientists. I will just bet some of you like me have been the working class. I have personally worked in bars, going house to house selling anything I could to survive and the theory that we are to lazy to do these jobs is nothing but hogwash. See back in the day and today still Americans have worked the jobs that they say only the Mexicans can and will do. Of course now we wouldn’t know because we have been convinced that Americans are lazy and will not do the jobs so we just look for the nearest Mexican.

These people are illegal just by their very existence in this country but they are not subject to our laws or they would never have been able to pull off the great march of 500,000 in LA simply because they would have had to get a permit to gather, I don’t know about you but I am betting they didn’t have one. I have to wonder if Americans were to march against them if we would need a permit. Would be arrested Cindy if we were to protest without one? I don’t think we would be so angry if we were not seeing all the laws we have lived by for years bypassed for people who don’t even belong here. 

You can call them undocumented, you can call them poor workers or any other name you wish but when it is all said and done they are still illegal. They refuse to learn our language, our customs or our laws. They shove their darn flag down our throats and then want to know why we are so angry, give me a break. America is our home and if any one walked into my home and took over it and then told me it was never mine to begin with I would be in jail. We are in the fight of our life and our leaders are calling this a civil rights movement, and they call us uneducated.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548045566658727?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548045566658727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548045566658727&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548045566658727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548045566658727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/names.html' title='Names'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548036984876494</id><published>2006-04-19T13:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T13:59:29.916-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just look at the numbers</title><content type='html'>Just look at the numbers

Phoenix 10,000 demonstrators, 500 students at Huntington Park High School near Los Angeles, In Georgia, activists said tens of thousands of workers did not show up at their jobs Friday after calls for a work stoppage to protest a bill passed by the Georgia House on Thursday. On Thursday, thousands of people filled the streets of Milwaukee for what was billed as "A Day Without Latinos", . Police estimated more than 10,000 people joined the demonstrations and march to downtown Milwaukee. Organizers put the number at 30,000. LAPD estimates 500,000 at protest, In Denver, more than 50,000 people protested downtown Saturday, Phoenix was similarly surprised Friday when an estimated 20,000 people gathered for one of the biggest demonstrations in city history, and more than 10,000 marched in Milwaukee on Thursday. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people gathered Saturday in Charlotte, N.C., In Sacramento, more than 4,000 people protested immigration legislation, About 200 people protested outside a town hall-style meeting held by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis..

Ok people the largest groups represented here are the illegal immigrants who have to the gall to stand in our streets and threaten us with tomorrow we vote. Hello, where in the hell was INS? This is further proof they have no intention of becoming Americanized, they instead want us to look like downtown Mexico with protests and all. I have a question why in the hell can’t these people take over their own country? Why come here and try to take over ours? They call themselves the backbone of America; wear white t-shirts to symbolize peace. Peace only if we decide to do things their way, protests and God only knows what else if we don’t. 

Take a moment people and look at those numbers and tell me if they do not frighten you just a little? I have always held the belief that they would be our Paris burning, I have held off on writing this in order not to give them any ideas but it is time to sound the alarm. We have in our midst protected criminals who can do just about anything they want and get away with it. They can march down our streets in all their glory and spit in the American faces that feed and clothe them and not one INS agent will step forward to detain them. They came in peace on this day, but what about the next one, when they don’t get what they want do we really believe they will remain peaceful. 

Take a look at those numbers people are our local law enforcement ready to deal with them if they become violent? They are already accustom to coming here and taking what they want do you really think once they see how much power they have that they are just going to say oh OK you win, get real here. Yes, they are humans as well and they deserve to have a decent life however, they have just proven they can call out a very large group to get things done so why not do that in their own countries? It is time to match force with force; it is time to let our leaders know that they are not the only ones who vote. 

No one is asking you to go out in the street and protest although if you feel froggy don’t let us stop you. We are only asking you to e-mail your senators or make one simple phone call 1-888-355-3588  it is a toll free number and it will get you in contact with your senator so that you can let them know we are sick and damn tired of them trying to give our country to the illegal immigrants. Tell them that while one day those people may be able to vote right now you can and you will use that power to stop them from coming back to office. This is serious folks, it is time to sound the alarm, it is time to tell your friends to make that phone call, and it is time to shut down their email, it is time to show our strength before they take it all away from us…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548036984876494?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548036984876494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548036984876494&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548036984876494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548036984876494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/just-look-at-numbers.html' title='Just look at the numbers'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548028991903098</id><published>2006-04-19T13:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T13:58:09.983-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It is time to get serious</title><content type='html'>It is time to get serious

I know it is a major pain in the neck to e-mail all the senators, I know it is a pin to call the White House switch board. But just how tired of you of the illegal immigrants standing in our streets telling us that we are here illegally, how angry are you when you see our American flag hung upside down UNDER the Mexican flag? Are you mad enough to pick up a phone to call someone to tell them to make them stop? If your not then we will just sit here and wait for them to take over because that is what they plan to do.

They are not just protesting this bill that would declare them illegal, they are showing their force, they are enlisting more of their people with the sole purpose of taking over our country and if that don’t make you mad then I would go out and buy that Spanish disk now because you are going to need it. This is not a conspiracy theory; this is fact that they stated on their web site the great march. I have heard enough of the we can’t send them all back people till I am ready to puke. If we could evacuate New Orleans and Houston Texas in a matter of days we can damn sure load these people up in buses and send them back from which they came. 

We have a national guard which should have been called out this weekend in California this was nothing more than an invasion by another country wishing to take over ours and to say any different is ludicrous. Our government stood by and watched while we were being invaded by people from another country and they want us to believe that they will keep us safe, think again. American parents are afraid to send their kids to school, because they are talking about using violence, what part of this is a take over do these people not get!!!

I called the White House line today and left comments for the president who is having tea with a leader of the country that is invading us. Here is the numbers, the last one is a direct line I have not used it so I don’t know that it is going to get us anywhere. 1-202-456-1414, 1-202-456-1111. It is time to take a stand for our country before we don’t have one anymore. What do you call it when hundreds of thousands of people from another country are standing in our streets demanding their rights in our country? I call it a well planned, well rehearsed invasion of a neighboring country. Are we really ready for it to be said that mexico walked into the United States of America and took it without firing a shot? It is time to get serious… If you don’t call those numbers are this one 1-888-355-3588 and stand up for your country NOW you have no reason to complain when they take over.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114548028991903098?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114548028991903098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114548028991903098&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548028991903098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114548028991903098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/it-is-time-to-get-serious.html' title='It is time to get serious'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114548000900562418</id><published>2006-04-19T13:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T13:53:29.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are our schools a safe haven for terrorist activity?</title><content type='html'>Are our schools a safe haven for terrorist activity?

It is the unthinkable, our children being used as targets but it is one we as parents should look at very seriously. The question first became of interest to me when I heard about a local school who was upset because their star soccer player was going to be deported. My first question was how did this kid manage to go through school unnoticed and end up with a scholarship? It was then that I decided to do a little research on the subject, what I found both amazed and disgusted me. During the past year, more than one million immigrants entered the United States! Proportionally larger have come in the past. One difference is that today's immigrants are coming from so many different places around the world -- all at the same time. 

Our government estimates that in the past year, 800,000 entered legally and approximately 300,000 illegally. (The opposite of what most people thought!) 

Source: Public Agenda Online, June, 1999.

 An estimated 41 percent enter the country legally by means of a visa (student, tourist, temporary), and then stay beyond the time when the visa has expired. The remainder enters secretly to avoid detection by the government. 
Source: "Illegal Alien Resident Population," February, 1997, Immigration and Naturalization Service. With Arab and Muslim communities, totaling about 7 to 10 million, also about 3,000 illegal Iraqi immigrants are said to be missing amid US concerns that some could be connected with groups or agents of the Iraqi regime. According to the Iraqi-American Council, there are some 300,000 Iraqi-Americans living in the US, mostly in Michigan, California, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

Before 1982, a Texas law prevented state funds from being used for the education of undocumented children. Under Texas law, Local Education Agencies (LEAs) could deny enrollment to such students. 
In Plyler v Doe, however, the United States Supreme Court held, in a five-to-four decision, that the Texas law was unconstitutional. The ruling was based on the equal protection provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Of particular concern to the Court was the fact that children--rather than their parents--were involved (Uerling, 1982). The Court believed that denying undocumented children access to education punished children for their parents' behavior. Such an action, the Court noted, did not square with basic ideas of justice (Uerling, 1982). 
Following the Plyler ruling, many undocumented students began to attend public schools in the United States (Haney, 1987). Because of the protections imposed by Plyler, however, the exact size of this group of students is difficult to estimate. 

States can no longer use residency requirements to deny undocumented children access to a tuition-free public education. Under Plyler, undocumented immigrant students have the same right to attend public schools through grade 12 as do citizens and permanent residents. 
School staffs need to be aware and sensitive as they deal with all immigrant students. In particular, they must act to preserve the right of access, especially by guarding the confidentiality of students' immigration status. In fact, if an undocumented student reasonably perceives that an action has the intent of exposing immigration status, then the right of access is compromised (Willshire Carrera, 1989a). 
Plyler, moreover, requires that schools apply the right of access to all immigrant students. This step guards against improper distinctions between documented and undocumented children. One exception exists. Immigrants with F-1 and M-1 visas are required by Congress to get the approval of the INS before they may attend school in the U.S. (Willshire Carrera, 1989a). This provision, however, does not apply to other immigrant students, including undocumented immigrant children. 

So as you can see we are not only required to allow these children in our public schools but we must actively keep their secret. Just think about it every single day we have undocumented children from any country roaming the halls of our schools. We also have no way of knowing if those children are here illegally or if they might be sympathizers with any terrorist regimes. The theories of they are just children died in Columbine, when some of these children killed other children at school. One must also realize that in many Arab countries it is nothing unusual for children as young as ten years of age to take part in a war or be used as a mule for explosives as we have seen in Israel. So the question arises are we protecting the rights of non-citizens at the expense of the citizens? While I realize that most of these are just children who had no say as to what their parents did. That does not comfort me as I wonder what would happen if one day one of those children we are protecting walked in the school with a backpack full of explosives. 

The FBI has said in recent days that terrorists are increasingly looking to “soft” targets, including places such as malls and travel. One must wonder if they have even considered the public school system, since it was not very long after 9/11 that there was a report that the Texas schools was a possible target. Most of us when we heard that assumed they might try and use the air conditioning system or drive a truck loaded with explosives into the schools in question. However since they already have students in place through out our schools and colleges their job may not be as hard as originally thought. 

Think about this for a minute, what is the one thing that the terrorist could hit and bring us to our knees? Just how much more difficult would it be for us as parents to agree to fight this war on terrorism knowing for a fact that it is our children that will be the target? What is the one place no one expects them to hit? Is this a simple alarmist reaction? I think not, I think that it is of utmost importance to address this problem now before someone on some panel down the road asks the question why was this not done.   It is a cold day during the winter, who is going to question a child going into a school with a large coat, possibly loaded with explosives? Clear and mesh backpacks only allow you to see what is on the outside of the backpacks while safely concealing what could be hidden in the middle of the backpacks. Some students carry additional bags and are never questioned by school officials as to the contents. 

Students enrolled in band carry very large cases back and forth to and from school without question. The immigrations don’t ask don’t tell policy in our schools could very well endanger our children’s lives on a daily basis. Do we for the sake of being politically correct and compassionate, ignore the fact that there may be potential terrorists walking among our children every single day? Many of us were shocked to learn that the terrorists who boarded those planes lived among us for years. They fit in perfectly, even attended flight school a thought that simply outraged many. Many-questioned why were they not reported, we might now know the answer, in Plyler v Doe. Could it be that they were required by law not to question their motives as to not show that they were undocumented students? Or could it be that they simply misunderstood the law as it pertains to adults?

Is it fair to ask parents to simply accept the fact that there are undocumented children allowed the same rights as their children? Was not the rights given by the United States constitution given to United States citizens? How can the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution apply to a non-citizen? How does a non-citizen under our constitution come to be granted the same rights as a citizen? If our constitution is set up as to govern non-citizens as well as citizens then should we not abolish INS and just open all of our borders. If we are to just accept this to be fact then I suppose the question of undocumented students in our schools is a non-issue. However, when it comes to the safety of our children I am not apt to bow to orders of our courts. We simply cannot afford in this day and time to keep their little secrets. We must for the safety of our children, the ones who were born and raised here and go to the schools under no veil of secrecy act to insure that these questions are answered. We must rise up as one to question as to whether our Supreme Court had the interests of our citizens in mind when it enacted this law, or rather the interests of other countries and their citizens. For our Supreme Court is in place solely for the purpose of protecting the United States citizens. 

I do not wish to find out one day that some of those students that we were required by law to protect murdered the children whom the Supreme Court decided had enough protection. I do not want to when it is all said and done say well I thought about it, but decided it was none of my business.

These two pictures are worth sharing.

 


 

Here are two pictures that were awarded first and second place at the picture of the year international  this year.  Very very touching photos.

                                First Place


&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3756/481/1600/file000.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3756/481/320/file000.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
First Place
Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News 
When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as one of the most powe rful in the process: "See the people in the windows? They'll sit right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home," he said. "They're going to remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should."

 Second Place


&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3756/481/1600/Extraord.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3756/481/320/Extraord.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Second Place
Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News 
The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you! kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would have wanted."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-114547915672407088?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/114547915672407088/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=114547915672407088&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114547915672407088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/114547915672407088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/04/extraordinary-photos-that-speak-for.html' title='Extraordinary photos that speak for themselves'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-114547881858274486</id><published>2006-04-19T13:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T13:33:38.813-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Reporting Live from the Center of the Universe</title><content type='html'>Carolyn,

 

It was great first day at the Wal-Mart media conference. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom Forbes – the force behind Palousitics – and Rob Port – Say Anything blog’s finest. (I also got to meet Rob’s lovely fiancé, Jess.)

 

There’s so much going on that it’s hard to capture it all, but both Tom and Rob have done a fantastic job.

 

Tom has been live blogging most of the day. (Go to http://palousitics.blogspot.com/ and keep scrolling.)

 

Rob has his post up reviewing the first day here. (http://sayanythingblog.com/2006/04/18/walmart_conference_day_1/) (Rob also recounts an overheard conversation that provides some interesting insight into the MSM.)

 

If you’re interested in what makes Wal-Mart cool and interesting – as well as a target for this on-going campaign of attack, spin and deception, take a few minutes and read their posts. I know they’d be happy to find a trackback or two, as well.

 

Tomorrow is the big day of the conference. CEO Lee Scott will be speaking, as will a raft of other Wal-Mart execs. Wal-Mart’s union-backed opponents will no doubt continue their antics, and Tom and Rob will have the story.

 

As always, let me know if you have questions or suggestions. I’ll be around.

 

All the best,

OK! Again this is primarily for Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. I am going to try and explain this in a way that even Allen Colmes can understand. I just feel it is a shame your comprehension ability has gotten to this point.

            Both of you while saying you are for secure borders and immigration reform, still sneak in that phony compassion thing. That’s because illegal immigrants have, not affected you and your families YET!

            I am going to make this explanation and example as simple as I can. The USA is home to millions of legal Americans. Now pretend your property and home is the USA. You accept guests, relatives, friends and neighbors, people you know and trust. 

Occasionally a stranger may approach your home claiming to be a good, honest person. Looking for employment, as a gardener, carpenter, painter, electrician etc. I am sure you would demand they first identify themselves, show proof of who they are, proof they own their own business or proof the work for a reputable company.

            Then one day previous employees of your tell their friends go to O’ Reilly’s or Hannity’s house and get work. Now hoards of strangers show up saying I am a good and honest person let me work for you and live in your area. You are now overwhelmed with workers who are total strangers to you. 

            You decide there is a potential for these people and you can use them for various work they can do for you. So, you set up rules and regulation for them to follow if they want to work for you. They must show identification of whom they are, they must not have criminal records and they must wait their turn for employment. 

They pay no attention to your rules they just keep coming onto your property a and enter your home uninvited, while others who are following the rules are patiently waiting on line, and waiting for your acceptance. 

            According to your logic, you let them continue to break the rules while you try to stop anymore of them coming onto your property. How will you ever know which ones are criminals or which ones intend to kill you, your family and friend? Do you really want to take that chance? 

Ask Allen Colmes and other liberals if they are willing to let strangers in their homes as they expect other Americans to do who cannot afford the security and homes that are protected and obscure from intrusion by criminals and illegal immigrants.  Or, is it more logical to use your first line security team to get them off your property, then you tell them they must get on line behind those who are following the rules. 

&lt;&gt;Then you enforce your rules by having anyone who enters your property with out your permission sent back to where they came from.
    Hope this was simple enough for you. Just be careful when explaining this to Allen or any liberal their heads may explode.

It is your duty to die."  (A"latino" leader) 


HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT! 

Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; "Go back to Boston!  Go back to Plymouth
Rock, Pilgrims!  Get out!  We are the future.  You are old and tired.  Go
on.  We have beaten you.  Leave like beaten rats.  You old white people.  It
is your duty to die . . . Through love of having children, we are going to
take over. 

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. "They're afraid we're going to
take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They're
right.  We will take them over . . . We are here to stay." 

Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, "The American Southwest seems
to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single
shot." 

Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; "We have an aging white
America.  They are not making babies.  They are dying. The explosion is in
our population . . . I love it.  They are shitting in their pants with fear.
I love it." 

Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, "Remember
187--proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens--was
the last gasp of white America in California." 

Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, "We are politicizing every
single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country
. . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I'm going to go out
there and vote because I want to pay them back." 

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California
State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown,
also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton,
"California is going to be a Hispanic state.  Anyone who doesn't like it
should leave." 

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , "We are practicing 'La
Reconquista' in California." 

Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; "We need to avoid a
white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . " 

Are these just the words of a few extremists?  Consider that we could fill
up many pages with such quotes.  Also, consider that these are mainstream
Mexican leaders. 

THE U.S. VS MEXICO: On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams
met at the Los Angeles Coliseum.  The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican
even though most lived in this country.  They booed during the National
Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down.  As the match progressed,
supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched
and spat upon.  Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and
after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was
the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession." 

Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries
can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and
government contracts?  It's called affirmative action or racial privilege.
The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and
immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of
European descent.  Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end
this practice.  It was defeated.  Every single Democratic senator except
Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and
African immigrants.  They were joined by thirteen Republicans.  Bill Clinton
and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive
immigration from countries like Mexico is good.  They have also backed
special privileges for these immigrants. 

Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world
immigrants should get special, privileged status.  Some examples are Exxon,
Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more. 

DID YOU KNOW?: Did you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of
the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals?  Did you know
that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the
U.S. in spite of agreements to do so?(well, twice now but not for the death
penalty)  According to the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to
275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian.  How's
your county doing? (much worse in L.A. County!) 

According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the
great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 
30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide.  A Wall
Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement
officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal
challenge the country faces."  Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of
the population. 

Is education important to you?  Here are the words of a teacher who spent
over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system.  "Imagine teachers in
classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and
motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning
materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer
words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references." 

WHEN I WAS YOUNG: When I was young, I remember hearing about the immigrants
that came through  Ellis Island.  They wanted to learn English.  They wanted
to breathe free.  They wanted to become Americans.  Now too many immigrants
come here with demands.  They demand to be taught in their own language.
They demand special privileges--affirmative action.  They demand ethnic

E-Mail From the Front Line #6
April 18th, 2006 
This has to be the best e-mail from the Front Line (the US-Mexican Border) I’ve gotten yet. Anyone devoted to stopping the ACLU, or anyone with a good sense of humor, will enjoy this one. This offers such a cool perspective from the men down at the border trying to prevent the invasion of the United States. You’ll enjoy this one.

Did a Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday until 1:00PM tour of duty on the Campo Line. Friday night and Saturday poured rain and heavy fog at times. Cold and wet was the order of the day and night. I slept in the front of my truck (miserably) with a pillow crammed against the passenger’s side door. I didn’t weant to get in the back and get mud all over everything. We had about 15 guys “on the line” most of Saturday, but it was real miserable. Saturday afternoon we were joined by “The first woman in America to burn the Mexican flag” ( Laine Lawless). When asked what “handle” she wanted for a call sign, she replied without hesitation,”TORCH!” Eat your heart out, Cindy Lou… For those of you who don’t know, Laine is a member of Border Guardians, the group that burned several Mexican Flags in Tucson, at the Mexican Consulate and at a large Mexican demonstration going on in Tucson at the time. She arrived with bullet proof vest, 12 gauge pump shot gun, and large bore pistol of unknown size, dressed in full set of BDU’s of desert cammy color!…

Damn, that’s more artillery than any of us “old timers” were packing! She definitely came prepared! Saturday I gave her a tour of the line, including a “pilgrimage” up to see “Kingfish” up in his “Eagle’s Nest.” Several pictures were taken up there, but not by me unfortunately, but Laine took several. I hope she’ll post some of them. Saturday I got appointed by default to lead a Chinese Film Crew around, and show them the line, the drug cartel’s distribution center, some of the guys, and the Non-existent “Border Fence”! Boy, were they impressed with the “POREOUS” fence. Late in the afternoon I overheard an operation going on a few miles away involving the B.P.’s chasing a fair sized group of illegals near highway 94, about three or four miles away. They wanted to film it, and came back about an hour or so later, very well pleased. 

They said they got to film the chopper chasing the aliens, and six of them being handcuffed and put into the B.P. paddy wagons! They said that they had gotten much more film shot than they had planned on. They work for MSNBC in China (RED), as well as Taiwan. The female was from Taiwan, just naturalized this February, and the little guy was from Red China! More people will see this interview than any other MM article in the world, as their audience is the biggest in the Orient. I kinda always had a “hankerin” to be a Star. Just never knew it would be a Red Star! I could end up being the “stereotype” of an American Minuteman on the Border! I guess all those Billions of Chinese are going to know what I look like, now… Oh well…

By Sat. night the rain had stopped, but dense fog was coming and going, and it was damp and cold. I put “Torch” with a MM named Jim together in her car at a heavy infiltration point known as the “Oaks”. It is close to an area where the fence is being worked on by the Corps of Engineers, and three dirt roads on the Mex side all converge here. To make matters worse, there is a large new culvert there that the illegals can crawl their way through, and into the good old USA! Slim Jim and Fiancee, and a Soldier friend of Jim’s were there the night before, and did an excellent job of guarding it all night. (Friday) 

On Sat. night Torch and Jim got cold, and bored, and called it a night around 10:00PM. Up the line to the west, (almost in front of “Little Dog’s position) a large group of illegals had been spotted by “Jeffe” and “Mad Max.” They had been doing a follow up foot patrol along the fence in response to an alert by Little Dog’s dog, who is very adept at spotting the illegals. They heard them on the other side of the fence, and were trying to keep track of where they were headed. By then, I had responded, as I was one of the mobile units. Soon after arriving, I called out to them on my bullhorn, and soon had them engaged in conversation. Of course they wanted one of the jobs no American wants, and I think they also were coming for the “Amnestia” that Bush and Fox have promised to them. They were none too happy to hear that there was to be no amnesty, Mexicans were unable to find work, that were already here, and that we were here to make sure that they didn’t get through. We all believed these particular Mexicans were a very determined bunch, (most of them sounded drunk) and were going to try to enter anyway, sooner or later, so I called the Tecate Sector B.P.s, and gave them a “heads up”, on the group assembled in Mexico, and about to enter. The B.P.’s of course, over responded and sent a car out at high speed to the spot and the Mex’s scattered like quail, even though they were still on their side of the fence. I actually think the B.P.’s would RATHER scare them back, than to have to chase and catch them over here, and do all the paper work, etc. 

A big Homeland Secirity Bus leaves Campo every morning about 7:00AM for Tijuana to put them back in their country. Sunday morning turned out to be the best part of the entire weekend! It just started off so cool that even if the entire rest of the day was a “bummer”, it would still have been a good day. Around 8:00AM or so, a B.P. chopper came flying down the line, and we all waved like crazy, and pointed at a Legal Observers’ car that was in the area on the Border road. The pilot made a few low passes, and the landed about 50 yards away from us. There were at least four of us on that hill, and Little Dog on the next hill over, who also had a ring side seat to the action about to unfold. ( People I remember being there were a new guy from Utah named Stealth 1, due to his generation 3 night vision, Nancy and Linsey H., and myself.) The pilot got out of the bird, came over, and shook our hands. He asked what we were all pointing at, and we told him that the ACLU was in that car down on the road, and they were our “enemies”, always trying to “frame us” for anything we MIGHT do, but have never done. After exchanging pleasantries he got back in the bird took off straight up, made a hard left bank, decending to a position DIRECTly over the ACLU’s in their Legal Observers Car, ending up about 15 feet over their heads, max., and inflicting a severe case of rotor wash on the unsuspecting, but richly deserving ACLU bitches driving that car!! They got the “message” and left rather quickly! Of course we were all rolling on the ground with laughter at this point, as a more fitting case of poetic justice has never been rendered more swiftly, or more accurately than that rotor wash was that morning… by the way, the pilot said before leaving,” Off the record, I think that what you guys are doing is GREAT!” I guess those ACLU bitches learned that any vehicle loiterring along the Border Fence is subject to a “closer inspection” by patrolling aircraft!…ha, ha, ha…he, he,he…What a good way to start any day. 

Goes to show ya. We do have a little fun, every now and then, down on the “Campo Line”! We also are running some new Psy-ops programs on the Mexicans along the line, and it has been working real well at deterring them from coming in… sorry, top secret… By the way, we got official credit for 100 pounds of narcotics 2 nights ago.

John McCain remains opposed to a national constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriages -- and that could cost him politically.

Republican leaders in the Senate are working to bring the issue to a vote in June, reports the Arizona Republic newspaper. 

"The time has come" for Congress to send a marriage amendment to the states, argued a report authored by a Senate committee headed by Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. The alternative, asserted Kyl's panel, is to risk letting judges decide the issue nationwide.

The upcoming vote is raising questions about what McCain, R-Ariz., will do, and how it may affect his decision to run for president in 2008 and the support he can count on.

A CAJUN TOAST:
May there be crawfish in your nets and gumbo in your pot.  
May the Sac-au-Lait be biting at your favorite fishing spot. 
May God's sun be shining brightly when you need its cheerful rays.
May the oak tree shade you gently on those lazy bayou days.
May a bourree game be waiting when all your work is through.
May the fais-do-do bring pretty girls to toss a wink at you.
And when your time is over and your place on earth is gone, 
May you waltz right into heaven to the tune of "Jolie Blonde" 
 
A LOUISIANA PRAYER: 
Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry, 
Please keep it cool in mid-July. 
Bless the walls where termites dine, While ants and roaches march in time. 
Bless our yard where spiders pass.
Fire ant castles in the grass. 
Bless the garage, a home to please 
Carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas. 
Bless the love bugs, two by two, 
The gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.

We have a lot of hard work yet to do , but in NumbersUSA we have a leader up to the task. With your leadership and our voices we yet may win the war." 

—Patty Simpson, Porterville, CA

While Patty was exulting in the Senate gridlock that at least temporarily killed efforts at a giant amnesty and immigration increase, I was in the air flying to Oregon for a series of meetings. I am just now back in the office. I hope you will take a moment with me to share some delayed excitement over the accomplishments you all achieved through your actions. 

I am sending this email to those of you who registered to receive Action Alerts and to send faxes during the last couple of months.

I extend a hearty WELCOME to all of you and note that the extra participants who just joined up definitely played a role in our recent successes.

Because you are new to our organization, I should mention to you that once a month I send an email reminder to all users of NumbersUSA that everything we do to fight for reduced immigration and an end to illegal immigration has to be funded by donations. This is that monthly email. (Later in this email, I'll provide information about our operation and our handling of money that you may want to know before you make an initial contribution.)

The donations in the past by other faxers have enabled us to build a full-time professional team on Capitol Hill and a unique technical infrastructure that was able to play a decisive role during this last month of Senate battles.

Our 180,000 activist members (the number has grown 30,000 higher in just one month!) practically drowned Senate offices in a deluge of faxes, phone calls, and even district office visits. 

Our members sent over 1.2 MILLION faxes just since January 1. 

Obviously, the results speak for themselves—we stopped the terrible bills! Many members were very generous in their praise of our tireless NumbersUSA staff:

"Wow!  I have a lump in my throat right now.  I really didn't think we could do it!  I am so proud of us!  Thank you all for the tremendous service you do on our behalf.  We could never have made so much headway if it wasn't for the sweat and tears donated by your staff in an effort to give us a user-friendly, well-organized forum for making our voices heard.  I've never been so proud to belong to any group."

—Mary Ann 

"Thank you,  Thank you,  Thank you.    We cannot write ENOUGH 'Thank you's  to express our deep gratitude and appreciation and admiration for ALL that you and your staff have been making possible for we Americans to 'voice our opinion'."

—Ray and Judy 

Your numerous notes of praise have been a great encouragement to all of the staff.

But obviously we're far from finished. In fact, the toughest part of the fight lies ahead. I know you will be in there with us, faxing and phoning, as long as it takes to achieve a SANE immigration policy for our country.

Can you make a first-time donation? 

Last month, we successfully completed a financial campaign to pay for new and more computer equipment to send our faxes and emails, and to host our web site.

But we also have to raise money every month . . .

. . . to keep that fax system running;

. . . to keep our expert Capitol Hill staff and office up and running;

. . . to send out our action alerts;

. . . and to analyze each piece of immigration legislation.

Unlike the vast majority of organizations that you see on the internet soliciting donations to fight illegal immigration, NumbersUSA has the following characteristics:

NumbersUSA is devoted 100% to fighting for reduced immigration—the topic isn't just a new hot-button side issue for us.


NumbersUSA has a full-time staff on Capitol Hill, working daily with top congressional staffers and key Members of Congress—our Alerts to you are not based on news media reports but mostly on our own sources deep inside Congress. 


NumbersUSA's financial handling is accountable to an independent Board of Directors and audited annually by an independent accounting firm.


NumbersUSA spends only 2% of its income on fundraising—this is possible because so many individual citizens like you respond to our monthly emailed requests to help us pay that month's bills.


NumbersUSA has been certified as one of the best-run non-profit organizations in America by the Independent Charities of America (see the full description on our on-line credit card page). 
We have always stated that we do NOT request donations from the unemployed, from the ill or from retired people on small fixed incomes. 

And we have never charged for the ability of all citizens to fax their Members of Congress. 

For that to be possible, though, thousands of citizens must voluntarily be willing to kick in what they can in tax-deductible contributions. 

If you are able, I hope you will give a first-time donation today and become not only an activist in this cause but an INVESTOR. As you know, it is an investment in our future and in the future of our grandchildren.

Thank you for all your faxing, phoning, and office visits,

This is the only country on Earth that thinks it's not sporting to consider our own interests in choosing immigrants. Try showing up in any other country on the planet, illiterate and penniless, and announcing: "I've seen pictures of your country and it looks great. I think I'd like to live here! Oh, and by the way, would you mind changing all your government and business phone messages, street signs and ballots into my native language? Thanks!" They would laugh you out of the country. 

What seems not to have occurred to the "NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL" crowd is that this is a country, not a public park. 

There are more than 6 billion people in the world, many of whom apparently like the idea of living in the wealthiest democracy on Earth. But if the billions of people of the world did live here, it wouldn't be "here" anymore. America is special for a reason that must transcend the right to vote -- or everyone would be trying to immigrate to Iraq right now. 

America has a seller's market in immigration, but thanks to Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law, we no longer favor skilled workers from developed nations, but instead favor unskilled immigrants from the Third World. Kennedy's bill promptly cut the number of European immigrants in half and increased Third World immigrants to 85 percent of the total. 

Not surprisingly, post-1965 immigrants have sharply higher levels of poverty and welfare dependence. Europeans may not seem like ideal new immigrants, but the truth is, if what they want is welfare, they'll stay in France. 

It's as if we've got the last Xbox 360s available on Christmas Eve and instead of doubling the price, we're entertaining low-ball offers. Or more accurately, we're paying our customers to take the darn things off our hands -- and the customers are still indignant with us.

Some excellent insights into the illegal immigrataion disaster in the making. Please read it all for an eye opener. 


We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration over-population conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal - was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream. 

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history' would show that all great nations commit suicide.  Here is how they do it. 

"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans." 

Lamm went on: "Second, to destroy America, 'Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds. 

"Third, We could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz! said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' " 

Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities. 

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school 

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of Victimology.  I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority.   I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population. 

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A. diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. E. Pluribus Unum -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus'. instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as surely as Kosovo. 

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them." 

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said,. "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book." 

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book 
1984. In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength." 

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast if we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream .

Associated Press Writer

TULTITLAN, Mexico — Considered felons by the government, these migrants fear detention, rape and robbery. Police and soldiers hunt them down at railroads, bus stations and fleabag hotels. Sometimes they are deported; more often officers simply take their money.

While migrants in the United States have held huge demonstrations in recent weeks, the hundreds of thousands of undocumented Central Americans in Mexico suffer mostly in silence.
And though Mexico demands humane treatment for its citizens who migrate to the U.S., regardless of their legal status, Mexico provides few protections for migrants on its own soil. The issue simply isn't on the country's political agenda, perhaps because migrants make up only 0.5 percent of the population, or about 500,000 people — compared with 12 percent in the United States.

The level of brutality Central American migrants face in Mexico was apparent Monday, when police conducting a raid for undocumented migrants near a rail yard outside Mexico City shot to death a local man, apparently because his dark skin and work clothes made officers think he was a migrant.

Virginia Sanchez, who lives near the railroad tracks that carry Central Americans north to the U.S. border, said such shootings in Tultitlan are common.

"At night, you hear the gunshots, and it's the judiciales (state police) chasing the migrants," she said. "It's not fair to kill these people. It's not fair in the United States and it's not fair here."

Undocumented Central American migrants complain much more about how they are treated by Mexican officials than about authorities on the U.S. side of the border, where migrants may resent being caught but often praise the professionalism of the agents scouring the desert for their trail.

TMZ talks to &lt;a href="http://www.oscars.org/"&gt;Academy &lt;/a&gt;members who are split
(Jan. 31) 'Brokeback Mountain' is surely the frontrunner in the Oscar race for Best Picture. But is this phenonemom based solely on the merits of the film, or in part because it pushes a message that is Academy-friendly?


One Academy member, a prominent film producer who asked to remain anonymous, bluntly said that the buzz is for movies with the "right agendas" to have the edge. "'Philadelphia' was a great movie," the producer said, "but the concept (AIDS discrimination) was designed to woo the Academy."


Famed writer and former film producer Dominick Dunne, also an Academy member says 'Brokeback' is a great movie. Dunne tells TMZ he feels the film is being judged on the merits, not on a political agenda. Dunne, however, acknowledges that "most members of the Academy are liberal Democrats."


Mike Fleiss, an Academy member who has such films as 'Hostel' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Masacre' under his belt, tells TMZ he agrees on the political bend of the Academy and adds, "Thank God." Fleiss, who says Ang Lee is one of the greatest directors of our time, claims, "Everyone knows if you pick the right topic you have a better chance at awards." Fleiss says the buzz he hears in Academy circles is that 'Brokeback' is a brilliant movie with "a gutsy statement to make," and that it is "capitalizing on controversy."


Another Academy member, a famed producer, tells TMZ a "politically correct" movie doesn't necessarily score points with voters. He notes, 'Titanic' won Best Picture, and didn't have a political bend. The producer, who also wanted anonymity, says he doesn't think Academy members are more political than the average citizen.

By Sergei Blagov
CNSNews.Com Correspondent
February 01, 2006

Moscow (CNSNews.Com) - Russia has missiles capable of penetrating any missile defense system, President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

"Russia last year tested missile systems that no one in the world has and won't have for a long time," he told an annual press conference at the Kremlin on Tuesday.

While asserting that the new systems were not a direct response to any missile defense system, Putin said that "it does not matter for them if missile defense exists or not."

He added that the new missiles are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The comments appeared to be aimed at further boosting Russia's international clout as it assumes the rotating presidency of the Group of Eight industrialized nations.

Russia's very participation in the G8 has been controversial. There have been calls, including some from U.S. Lawmakers, for Moscow to be expelled from the group on the grounds that the Russian government is drifting away from democratic values.

But Putin strongly criticized calls for Russia's expulsion.

"I know the mood of the leaders of the G8," he told the press conference. "No one is against our participation in this club."

"Can anyone think how nuclear security problems can be solved without the participation of Russia, a key nuclear power?"

Russia has long been a critic of the ballistic missile defense (BMD) shield developed by the U.S. During the Bush presidency.

When President Bush pulled out of the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty to pursue the new program, Moscow said it no longer felt bound by previous agreements prohibiting missiles with multiple warheads.

The defense system is designed to protect the U.S. From missiles fired by rogue states, not from countries with sizeable nuclear arsenals like Russia or China.

Russia has nonetheless worked on ways to make the U.S. Umbrella ineffective.

Last November, the Russian military hailed the successful test of a Topol intercontinental ballistic missile as a demonstration of its capability to defeat the U.S. Missile defense program.

With a range of some 10,000 kilometers, the Topol was earlier reported to be capable of maneuvering its warhead on the final stretch of its trajectory, to prevent its interception and destruction by a missile defense system.

Putin confirmed this Tuesday, saying the new missile could change both altitude and direction of flight, whereas "a missile defense system is designed to counter missiles moving along a ballistic trajectory."

Russia also has tested a modified version of the Topol, the Bulava, which is fired from a submarine and has an 8,000-km range.

The Topol-Bulava missiles will be the first intercontinental weapon system to be developed by Moscow since it withdrew from a strategic arms limitation treaty with the U.S., in response to the American BMD system.

&lt;strong&gt;Isn't this funny, now let me see if I remember correctly aren't they helping North Korea? So what is Putin telling us here, he is telling us that the cold war is not really over, that if they wanted to they could blow us off the map. Check out the last line on this article will you, this was done because we were such bullies and wouldn't allow them to threaten us. I am sorry but this sounds like a threat to me.

GWB cracks a few jokes in warm up speech 

He raised all the issues that will be covered in his State of the Union address and a few that most probably won't be. Like his take on the gay-cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain.

"It's always good to see Vice-President Dick Cheney," he told revellers including Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and a slew of ambassadors but not Australian ambassador Dennis Richardson.

"Lynne Cheney and Laura were out of town recently, so I called up Dick and said, 'Why don't we go to a movie?'

"He said, 'Great idea, let's go to a cowboy movie.'

"Yep, finally we went to see Brokeback Mountain. Let me tell you, whooo-eee.

"Dick sat through the movie, didn't say a word. We came out. After a while he says: 'Nice horses.' I say 'Yep.'
LOL... he's the only one I know of that's even been to see that trash ....

Sorry all, just got home from work 7:45 P.M. from 5:00 A.M., and have to be back at it tomorrow at 4:00 A.M. again. It's unavoidable, and something that has to be done, so I won't be making the rounds. I'm so tired my hair hurts ... :-(

...And the Hamas member said, "Kosher? I don't even know her!" 

In the grand tradition of either laughing or screaming about matters of concern, many Palestinians have decided to laugh. Jokes have started to circulate around Gaza and the West Bank about Hamas' electoral victories in the past few days. One joke says that all the police stations will be shut down because all complaints must now be filed with God.



While an overwhelming majority of people chose Hamas on election day, the wide circulation of the jokes reflects how conflicted people are over their choice, said Nadia Najjab, a social psychology professor in the West Bank Birzeit University.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113868695560347771?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://nationalinstitutetruth.blogspot.com/' title='National Institute for Truth and Freedom'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113868695560347771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113868695560347771&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113868695560347771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113868695560347771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/national-institute-for-truth-and.html' title='National Institute for Truth and Freedom'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-113866592384314359</id><published>2006-01-30T16:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-30T16:05:23.853-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Expose the Left</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://exposetheleft.com/2006/01/30/kennedynuts/"&gt;Oh my God this is to much fun&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113866592384314359?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://exposetheleft.com/2006/01/30/kennedynuts/' title='Expose the Left'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113866592384314359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113866592384314359&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113866592384314359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113866592384314359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/expose-left.html' title='Expose the Left'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-113866520437453220</id><published>2006-01-30T15:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-30T15:53:24.473-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Solution: How a liberal is balanced</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://txlonghornmike.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-liberal-is-balanced.html"&gt;The Solution: How a liberal is balanced&lt;/a&gt;
How a liberal is balanced 

Last night during English class my professor did what countless others have done: given us a column/paper written by a prominent liberal and tried to portray it as having been written by someone "down the middle" or "mainstream". Someone who is "knocking both sides".
Most Republican students are then given the choice of biting their tongues, cautiously objecting, or barfing on the carpet right then and there.

I didn't have anything in my stomach to regurgitate (Delighla, on the other hand, could have contributed to this effort) and I am an official taxpayer now so I don't see fit to bite my tongue, so I casually mentioned the piece in question was written by Frank Rich who when he looks to his left can only see Michael Moore and Satan.

Then she went through this song and dance about how he criticized both Democrats and Republicans, blah blah blah. Me at 16 would have kept the discussion going, but me at 26 knows I am outnumbered in class and I don't know if she's one of those teachers that has a special giftwrapped "C" for her conservative students at the end of the semester so I backed down. What she said is actually true: Frank Rich does have some strong, negative words for the Democratic Party in this column, but if you look closer this is what he was saying:

I am pissed off at the liberals because they are not liberal enough, but I am pissed off at conservatives because they are conservative.

What part of that is balanced? I hate my people because they aren't enough like me, but I hate your people because they exist.

In the class of fifteen there were maybe two other people that realized this. Most agreed and nodded as Rich talked about 'Karl Rove's White House propaganda factory'. I admit it, I don't read Frank Rich, so I don't have a big point of reference on him. However, he seems to take the usual liberal excuse for everything Democrats do that they don't like:

The Democrats aren't doing anything the Republicans aren't doing

Rich tries to paint James Frey and Sam Alito with the same brush of "truthiness". Apparently this is a phrase coined by the annoying Jon Stewart MiniMe Steven Colbert. Frey, who wrote a fiction nonfiction book about rehab (or would it be a nonfiction fiction?) and then was defended by Oprah who told her flock that the truthfulness/truthiness of Frey's book wasn't the issue- it was a good book after all, so its okay to lie per Mama Winfrey.

This ties to Alito because according to NY Times reporter David Kirpatrick:

“Some colleagues and friends of the elder Mr. Alito, who died in 1987, said they had never heard some of the stories his son has recounted, including the episode about his support for the black student and the fact that his father immigrated from Italy as a child.”

This apparently constitutes evidence in Rich's mind: friends and colleagues of a man dead for nearly 19 years are unable to recall hearing the stories his son recounted. Imagine if this same evidence was used to convict a criminal. Every liberal in America (and even most conservatives) would be up in arms!!

They never heard some of the stories- that means Alito is a liar. Apparently Alito's father didn't wear a T-shirt that read "I immigrated from Italy and helped a black student" everyday of his life. Presumably Alito's father was being modest, but those of Rich's ilk will call his son a liar.

Naturally Rich brings up the war in Iraq (what column written by a Democrat is complete without Iraq?). The same truthiness that makes it okay for Frey to lie about his experiences and will get Alito confirmed to the SCOTUS is why we went into Iraq. This brand of truthiness is represented by a mushroom cloud.
Rich would have been against invading Iraq even if Uday and Qusay had flown the planes into the WTC themselves. Rich fears success in Iraq even more than he hates the war. Success there means the USA will have sent a message to the Islamofascists that we won't back down under any circumstances. It also serves to further isolate Iran because Iran will be faced with three allies of America on its borders. Success there is vitally important. There was no truthiness getting in and there is no truthiness as to how important the mission is.

Somehow I doubt the English professor in question would agree to the above paragraphs. She said that Frank Rich's specialty is taking a different view of issues everyday. You never know where he will come down- what side will he take? Just what in the hell is Frank Rich's opinion after all? She made it seem like some kind of mystery. As though there is any mystery to someone who writes for the Liberal Death Star, the Huffington Post, and Truthout.org. Somehow "fair and balanced" isn't what enters one's mind reading these pages.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113866520437453220?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://txlonghornmike.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-liberal-is-balanced.html' title='The Solution: How a liberal is balanced'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113866520437453220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113866520437453220&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113866520437453220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113866520437453220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/solution-how-liberal-is-balanced.html' title='The Solution: How a liberal is balanced'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-113864450922097911</id><published>2006-01-30T10:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-30T10:08:29.346-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Believing in Your Right 2 Think</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/blog/marsala/"&gt;Believing in Your Right 2 Think&lt;/a&gt;

Ask the Children... They Understand

Paraphrased excerpts from a journal entry by Sgt. Brent N. Bretz dated: Dec. 19th, 2005-
Just a little over a year ago a brave young soldier, like many other brave young soldiers, was riding in a tank 20 miles somewhere outside Mosul, Iraq. While traveling down the well known course, a bomb went off under his vehicle- changing his life forever.
As the present company traveling with this soldier, tried to untwist the seemingly lifeless body from around the steering wheel of the truck he was driving, his bloody lifeless body showed no signs of life.
…A phone call came in to his family saying, "It doesn’t look good-uncertain whether he will live, or that he will even have his left arm and his legs are already gone."

It was just this last year that I received an email from a friend about Sgt. Brent Bretz and the incident that had befallen him. After reading the email, I thought this might be an opportunity to share a story of attitudes with some students I work with; I contacted the friend to garner more information about this soldier, his situation and progress. Quickly he connected me with the young soldier’s mother and she began to share with me the rest of her son’s story.
The following statement is why I wanted to share his story with my students and why I am compelled to impart it to you.
"... I want you all to know that life is not to be taken as an edge of your seat ride but with safety and comfort that you get from being with real friends and family. Not a day goes by that I wish I would have done more with my life, and been more willing to try some of the things I was a little scared to do.
There are so many men and woman out there right now that are willing to put there life on the line so you can enjoy this holiday season in comfort, and the biggest thing you have to deal with is that Wal-Mart wont use "Merry Christmas" in their advertising.
Many wonder how I can be so up-beat with what has happened to me and I tell you this- if Sgt. Stephen R Sherman, and many others can give their life then my blood, sweat, tears, and my legs are NOTHING in comparison.
Nothing is forever, not even life, take it and do all you want with it don't be afraid to fall because getting back up is so much sweeter than walking past the dreams you have! I want to thank you for all the support, your words and actions have made what I have done worth it, and I really mean that. Even if I have changed the life of one, that means that all I have done has been worth what I have given... One last note I know some people don't think so, but I'm no hero I was doing my job like so many others, and if you really want to see some heroes look at those that gave their lives so that you may live yours."

This is what being a person of honor really is.
As I shared Sgt. Brent N. Bretz story with the young students they immediately felt compelled to put their thoughts and gratitude into action. These young people, all 26 of them, sat down and wrote letters to Sgt. Bretz that very afternoon. Some of the letters were one sheet in length, but many of them were several pages long.
This is what I found so amazing about our young people, each letter contained within it a big thank you to Sgt. Bretz’s dedication to keeping not only them safe from terrorists, but for helping other kids like them. They thanked Sgt. Bretz for helping liberate the Iraqi children and granting them the hope and privilege of being able to go to school. The student’s letters were filled with compassion, gratitude and admiration for their new hero. Many of the students added in their letters- they would whine over homework or a paper cut, but here was a soldier persevering under the most strenuous circumstances in life- a life with no legs, little use of a left arm and countless surgeries- all because Sgt. Bretz believed in something bigger than just himself. Sgt. Bretz spirit of optimism impressed these young people.
As discussions continued to take place over the ensuing days many students shared how they understood the WMD’s did not just consist of nuclear warfare or the garnering of nuclear technology. The students on their own researched and stated they understood weapons of mass destruction can come in forms of ruthless dictatorships. As they realized the former Iraqi leader had gassed his own people and planned with other likeminded mass murders to carry out the destruction of all who do not fall in line with their jihadist’s beliefs. They young students understood the logic and simplicity of why we are doing what we are doing. The study of the radical "Holy War" of hatred towards western ideals, that threads itself over fifty years ago with a man named Sayyid Qutb, was not necessary for the students to grasp the grave seriousness of this jihadist’s determined promise. They understood- that you cannot reason with that level of fanaticism.
Out of the mouth babes countless times lessons can be learned. The comprehension level of the children I work with is higher than most highly educated adults and our elected officials. They firmly grasped the importance of our coalition forces going into Iraq, but they could not understand the political divisiveness of our elected officials.
As fellow beings co-existing on this planet we may have differing views points on our war on terror, but never should we turn this war on terror into a political game. Those who have spun this war on terror for their own political gain are nothing better than the murderous terrorist’s thugs that are trying to dominate by any means our very existence.
We have politicians sitting comfortably in their Italian leather chairs with hot and cold running water, heating and A/C, private jet planes, gourmet delicacies and the ability to bellow their pontificating nonsense from our nation’s headquarters. All while our men and women in the forces march on to fight for freedom. How sad it truly is that many of our youth understand the simplest of things, but our nations politicians will not acquiesce long enough to see beyond their own agendas.
The war on terror is not about political name calling, game playing or scoring voters points- it’s about our survival as a race and living under the freedom to choose.
Thank you Sgt. Brent Bretz for all you have given, thank you for having a positive outlook upon life and thank you for your willingness to share. Our prayers continue to go up for you, as we know your road to recovery is long.
Thank you wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers for being a part of all who serve so bravely and unselfishly without agenda, but for the love of freedom.
Out of the mouth of babes… at times comes insight and appreciation- let us learn and follow their lead.
Death Before Dishonor
Take a man and put him alone,
Put him twelve-thousand miles from home, Empty his heart of all but blood, Make him live in sweat and mud, This is the life I have to live.
You have your parties and drink your beer, While young men are dying over here, Plant your signs and have your fun, When you refuse to use a gun, There is nothing else for you to do, Then I'm supposed to die for you.
There is one thing that you don't know,
And that is where I think you should go, I am already here and it is too late, I have traded my love for hate, You made me hear my Buddy cry, I saw his leg and bloodshed, Then I heard them say "This one is dead."
It was a large price for him to pay,
To let you live another day,
He had the guts to fight and die,
To keep the freedom you live by,
By dying, your life he buys,
But who gives a *darn if a soldier dies.
Found in the pocket of a dead Marine at Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, June 6, 1969

I must really eat at the Democrat political machine to see minorities run against their party which has done oh so much for minorities in America (sarcasm intended). Michael S. Steele for example, who is black and a Republican candidate for the Senate gets called "Uncle Tom" by members of the Democrat Party and has had Oreo cookies hurled at him by the intellectual left. &lt;a href="http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/americanconservative/index.php?/archives/536-Lynn-Swann-Another-Black-Man-In-Need-Of-An-Asterisk.html"&gt;(link)&lt;/a&gt;

I've commented before on the attempt currently under way to take Justice David Souter's Connecticut home via eminent domain since he apparently thinks increased tax revenue is a valid "public use" for taking the private land of others. A group of protestors is preparing to descend upon he town to rally support for the Lost Liberty Hotel which would replace the Souter home and bring in increased "taxes" and "revenue". &lt;a href="http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/americanconservative/index.php?/archives/490-Twas-The-Night-Before-Liberal-Christmas.html"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/americanconservative/index.php?/archives/595-The-RIGHT-Approach-For-Eminent-Domain.html"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;

Living in Pennsylvania's 14th Congressional District I often get mailers from one of the left's more spineless liberals - Congressman Mike Doyle. Mr. Doyle loves big government and is a proponent of continued socialist programs like Medicare and Social Security ("today voted against a bill containing nearly $50 billion in cuts in federal programs like Medicaid, student loans, foster care, and child support enforcement" - &lt;a href="http://www.house.gov/doyle/newsrel/051117_budget.htm"&gt;Mike Doyle&lt;/a&gt;) and if he was a little more vocal on the floor of the Congress he might be as well known for his insane ramblings as Rep. John Murtha is&lt;a href="http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/americanconservative/index.php?/archives/513-Congressman-Mike-Doyle-Verifies-Democrats-Strategy.html"&gt;.(link)&lt;/a&gt;

ACLU Makes A ClaimThe ACLU is making some pretty steep acusations as are many on the left. It is the latest round of "gotcha" they are trying to play with President Bush as revenge against relentless and truthful attacks against their own Teflon Don, Bill Clinton.

Every week there is some new "scandal" being thrown against the wall to see if it sticks. I often call this "cooking spaghetti" because one of the ways you can tell when the pasta is done is that it sticks to the wall. I firmly believe that each time the spaghetti doesn't stick the left gets more and more shrill and outrageous with their next attack.

A lot of people have been putting messages in my email box concerning the "Bush spied" allegations now circulating. Those on the right are asking what I think. Those on the left are demanding that I condemn President Bush as if I never have done THAT before! And now the ACLU has this full page ad in the New York Times. &lt;a href="http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/americanconservative/index.php?/archives/505-On-Spying-Accusations,-Misrepresentations-And-A-Lot-of-Missing-Pieces.html"&gt;(link)&lt;/a&gt;

'Twas the Night Before Liberal Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Libs were all cowering like a scared little mouse;
They had lost their power, their “birthright” per se,
No purse strings they held for their own pimped out sleigh;

Their “children” were unhappy but snug in their beds,

A couple of days ago I linked to the Joel Stein column in the LA Times. I'm not sure about ya'll but it literally made my face go red and smoke shoot straight out of my ears. This person, Joel, is scum. Scum of the Earth. And not just because he wrote the article, but because he is a moron who has no reason to be paid to write such filth. He has no knowledge of our military, yet he can claim to not support our troops. He is ignorant and an idiot, and I can prove it.

Exhibit A:
A radio interview with Hugh Hewitt
--This interview is FANtastic. True proof that Joel Stein has his head shoved squarely up his ass.

Exhibit B:
'I do sympathize with people who joined up to protect our country, especially after 9/11, and were tricked into fighting in Iraq. I get mad when I'm tricked into clicking on a pop-up ad, so I can only imagine how they feel.'
-- He 'can only imagine how they feel'?! WTF?! He is comparing the annoyance of clicking a pop-up ad to signing up to defend our country?! Is anyone else as pissed off about this as I am? Does anyone else see how disgusting that one sentence is? If you don't see it, you've got serious issues.

I think those exhibits prove how stupid this man really is. He is paid to write shitty articles for a shitty paper that's going to become even shittier once people start canceling their subscriptions.

Dinesh D'Souza a "Neo-Nazi"
Come on! Either people like Dinesh are "Neo-cons" or they are "Neo-Nazis" you squirming little red diaper wearing libs! You cannot be both. You can't be both because, no matter how hard you try to spin Nazism as "right wing" it is still a very left wing ideology sharing in common many of the normal traits of left wing governments including strict regimentation and government control.

I'm still waiting for some left winger to explain how promoting freedom and liberty exhibits either!

The problem with the left is that they don't do much critical thinking. To them conservative equals Republican or it equals fundamentalist Christian or whatever else they think they can equate it to to make the concept digestible to them. Problem is the concept of this falls apart when you actually have to examine what people believe rather than what group they associate with. For example if a Baptist Christian came out and said that America needed to be a country where the Baptist sect was the official state religion of America and that blacks and jews needed to be exterminated they certainly would NOT be considered "conservative" ... well ... ok EXPCEPT by the left!

Dinesh D'Souza for will not be speaking at Lakeside School because he is far too radical for the liberals there.
A Lakeside staff member explained through an e-mail, according to Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Robert Jamieson Jr., "Even if an intention was simply to offer diverse viewpoints, I wouldn't want to offer a forum to a neo-Nazi either." - WorldNet Daily
I'll tell you what, Dinesh is THE DARKEST "Nazi" I ever seen.

These libs don't even know what the words they use mean. And that's what makes them funny AND dangerous at the same time. Ok, so you don't like the fact that Dinesh talks about how blacks in America sometimes don't help their own causes and how he dares to talk possitive about Ronald Reagan but get over it. That doesn't make him a "Nazi". But sotrming campaign headquarters and harassing workers and slashing tires of the political oposition's get out the vote campaign does come close ... gee ... who did those things again?

Body Armor Likely Saved ABC News Pair

NEW YORK (AP) - ABC News led its broadcasts with its own journalists in the news: anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman had been seriously injured by a roadside bomb while reporting in Iraq.

Woodruff, the new co-anchor of 'World News Tonight,' and Doug Vogt both suffered head injuries, and Woodruff has broken bones. They were flown Monday to a U.S. military hospital in Germany, and the network said their families were with them Monday.

'They're both very seriously injured, but stable,' Col. Bryan Gamble, commander of the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in western Germany, said Monday. He said the men were heavily sedated and under the care of the hospital's trauma team.

Their body armor likely saved them, 'otherwise these would have been fatal wounds,' Gamble said.

My Way News



War is a nasty business...

Woodward and Vogt are truly bringing this to life in their injuries and ABC News has done a marvelous job of covering the way that they, Woodward and Vogt, are being treated, in exactly the same way our troops are treated when they suffer combat injuries...
Both Woodward and Vogt knew exactly what they were possibly in for and they accepted the risks and the job, and that takes a lot of guts, for an unarmed reporter and cameraman to go out on actual *Combat Ops* is an act of courage on their"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113863002799916402?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com/' title='And That is MY Opinion'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113863002799916402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113863002799916402&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113863002799916402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113863002799916402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/and-that-is-my-opinion_30.html' title='And That is MY Opinion'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-113862986036821121</id><published>2006-01-30T06:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-30T06:04:20.470-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Christ Matters</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://christmatters.blogspot.com/"&gt;Christ Matters&lt;/a&gt;: "Persecuted For the Sake Of Rightousness 
Four pharmacists are suing Walgreen Drug Stores. The law suit comes after the four were fired illegally for taking a stand and not filling prescriptions for the 'morning-after' pill. 
The American Center for Law and Justice, a public-interest group founded by evangelist Pat Robertson, is representing the pharmacists.
Kudos to Pat Robertson, but where is the ACLU to defend the rights of these pharmacists? It would seem that they only defend the rights to kill babies, not take a stand for pro-life. 
'It couldn't be any clearer,' ACLJ senior counsel Francis J. Manion told the wire service. 'In punishing these pharmacists for asserting a right protected by the Conscience Act, Walgreens broke the law.'
Regardless of what happens in court, God sees what these pharmacists are doing. 'Blessed are those who are persecuted because of rightousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.'

Extreme Sacrifice... NO Amnesty! 24 hour Chain Protest 
Protest starts Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 9:00 A.M. 
and continues until Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 9:00 A.M. (24 hours non-stop protest) 
Location: Congressman David Dreier's district office in Glendora 
2220 E. Route 66, Suite 225, Glendora, California 91740 
Unless we act now, the U.S. Congress may very well pass an amnesty (i.e., the so-called "guestworker plans") such as the McCain/Kennedy Amnesty Bill. Up to 20 million illegal aliens with no particular allegiance to our Republic nor any interest in assimilation will gain citizenship and be rewarded for breaking our immigration laws. We are going to show the Congress that We the People are resolute to defend our Republic with every ! legal means under the Law, Constitution and Bill of Rights! With no sleep, no food and only one glass of water, American patriots will stand for 24 hour peacefully chained together. Please note that people can participate at any level they wish -- You can stop by for whatever length of time you're comfortable with (any amount of time would be appreciated) and can bring your signs.

40th Annual Laguna Beach (California) Patriot's Day Parade 
DEVELOPING STORY: Minutemen seek to participate in the parade, but have been BANNED by city officials. 
Saturday, March 4, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. 
Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California 
City of Laguna Beach officials are attempting to ban the Minutemen and Jim Gilchrist from the Patriots' Day Parade, stating that the Minutemen are political and "too controversial", but they have approved participation by an extremist anti-war group that holds protests in the City every Saturday (see http://ocpeace.org/weeklylaguna.html for info. on these weekly anti-war protests). Another participant in the Patrio! ts' Day Parade (for the last 8 years) is the La Playa Center, which operates the illegal immigrant Day Labor site in the city and has participated in this parade for 8 years! 
For more information: 
Parade Website: http://lagunabeachparade.org/ 
Email the South Orange County Citizens for Immigration Reform (SOCCIR) for updates with respect to ongoing efforts to secure participation of the Minutemen in the parade at: LBGeorgeEileen@aol.com 
Ongoing Surveillance and Reporting Operations at Illegal Alien Day Labor Centers (2 locations): 
* Burbank, California (next to the new Burbank Home Depot store) 
* Glendale, California (next to the Glendale Home Depot store) 
Ongoing operations at various times and dates (contact organizer for more information) 
Illegal alien day labor sites allow unscrupulous employers to hire illegal immigrants at exploitation wages, instead of Ame! ricans (and legal residents) at the respectable wages most Americans demand. Less than 6 percent of day laborers entered the United States legally, per a comprehensive UCLA study on day labor sites. Home Depot has financially supported illegal alien day labor centers in both Burbank and Glendale (as well as many other locations across the country), in clear violation of federal immigration laws. These ongoing surveillance operation involve photographing and reporting to federal and state authorities, and several websites, those employers illegally hiring illegal immigrants. The importance of these sorts of actions cannot be overstated. A few dedicated activists can effectively close down a day labor site as these un-American contractors/employers rarely pick up illegal immigrants when informed they will be reported to law enforcement.

NORTH CAROLINA 

Rally with keynote speaker Congressman Tom Tancredo 
Phillip O. Berry Academy Gymnasium 
Charlotte, North Carolina 
January 30, 2006 at 7 P.M. 
As part of his "Secure America Now" tour, Congressman Tom Tancredo will keynote this rally. Attendees are encouraged to contact Senators Dole and Burr to oppose any amnesty bill for millions of illegal aliens ! disguised as a "Guest Worker" bill. Many members of North Carolina's Congressional delegation oppose such Guest Worker / Amnesty plans. NC Congressional representatives Coble, Foxx, Hayes, Jones, McIntyre, and Myrick are members of Tancredo's 91-member Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. Congressman McHenry has also stated his opposition to Guest Worker / Amnesty provisions. Senators Burr and Dole have been leaning towards supporting an amnesty, which is favored by many corporate Political Action Committees. The US Senate will debate this matter soon. Dole and Burr's positions are out of line with North Carolina voters in a state where benefits and rewards for illegal aliens are opposed by over 80% of the population in numerous polls. Other speakers at the event will include Bay Buchanan of Tancredo's Team American PAC, William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, Ron Woodard of NC Listen, with the MC being Vernon Robinson of NC Education Reform Action Network.

Let’s just give them the keys shall we?
Written by: Carolyn Hileman

Ok, let’s get something straight here folks if we had wanted any member of congress or senate to run our country handle the war on terror or anything else we would have voted for them as president, we didn’t so get a clue will you… The reason you baffoons did not get elected is because we do not trust you with our National security, any questions so far? You idiots have made it damn clear that you would hand over the keys to the enemy if you thought they might let you keep your job. 

I am past sick of these people sticking their nose into everything and trying their best to make it look like our president is either as stupid as they are or as evil as they are. Our constitution allows checks and balances not shared control and you guys have not been reading the constitution because if you had you would know this. You can decide whether to fund the war but that my friend is it. That is all you get to do, you don’t get to second guess what is being done, you don’t get to change anything that is being done and God am I glad of that because you would have handed over the keys and we would all be bowing to Allah about now. 

Most everyday Americans know that the president is not listening to our conversations, save the ones who actuarially believe you had any brains what so ever. Most Americans know that what they are doing is finding out where those evil bastards you seem to like so much, plan to strike and stopping them. We don’t need proof like you guys do because we know that just by the fact that we have yet to be hit again someone is doing their job and we would lay even odds it is not you. We are sick and damn tired of you and your cronies impeding the work of the president and don’t really give a damn if you thought the election was fixed. 

If you had your way you would have taken all of our guns, all of our land and then handed us over to the Taliban. We would be asking France how to take care of problems in the United States of America and the UN would have to be sending us food. You could personally care less about the people of the United States of America all you care about is votes. The only problem you have is that you have yet to figure out that we do not wish to be governed by anyone else we think we can do this on our own since we have been doing it since this country was founded. We don’t need your egotistical rhetoric, we don’t want your constant spying on the president, we don’t care if you think you are God, we know you are not. 

If you honestly believe that the president of the United States is the next Hitler you need mental help. If you honestly believe that we should just get out of Iraq and mind our own business, you my friend have forgotten what that did for us on 9/11. If you believe that our troops are just an over glorified gang then go over to China where they fire on their own people. In short if you don’t like America then by all means leave we will not miss you in the slightest.  If you honestly believe that any of the morons in congress are more capable of handling the security of our nation then let’s just hand them the keys shall we?

Alberta is experiencing a huge and expensive oil rush, and Fort McMurray is at the centre of it.

The town is an old trapper post, with no road until the 1960s, though it had a railway. Fort McMurray's population is now a runaway 68,000, and climbing all the time.

Convincing liberals that the ACLU is leading us down a dangerous path is about as productive as talking to a rock.  Perhaps this is because I mostly deal with far left liberals who share the same insane views and have the same radical agenda as the ACLU.  Anyone who believes that the ACLU is there to purely defend the Constitution is naive at best.  Surely there are some moderate liberals out there that can concede that the organization is in need of reform.  

A balanced society can not survive resting in the fringe.  A Nation only concerned with security will drift toward a police state, and one that follows the absolutist views of liberty like the ACLU will drift toward anarchy. 

The ACLU proudly display a banner that states, &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2006/01/17/this-aclu-banner-is-deceptive/" target="_blank"&gt;Keep America Safe and Free&lt;/a&gt;, but any honest person will admit that the ACLU have done nothing for the safety of America.  As a matter of fact, all evidence leads to &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2006/01/25/its-official-aclu-desires-destruction-of-america/ " target="_blank"&gt;quite the opposite.&lt;/a&gt;  The ACLU are always ready to put the security of America at risk in the pursuit of its &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2006/01/25/essential-liberties/" target="_blank"&gt;absolutist views of liberty.&lt;/a&gt; 

Many of the ACLU's former leaders have noticed the irresponsible shifting of the ACLU away from true civil liberty protection into a much more dangerous agenda.  For example take the words of this &lt;a href=" http://www.forerunner.com/fyi/news/wsj021099.htm"&gt;former Executive Director of the ACLU&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;The right to express unpopular opinions, advocate despised ideas and display graphic images is something the ACLU has steadfastly defended for all of its nearly 80-year history.

But the ACLU, a group for which I proudly worked as executive director of the Florida and Utah affiliates for more than 10 years, has developed a blind spot when it comes to defending anti-abortion protesters. The organization that once defended the right of a neo-Nazi group to demonstrate in heavily Jewish Skokie, Ill., now cheers a Portland, Ore., jury that charged a group of anti-abortion activists with $107 million in damages for expressing their views. Gushed the ACLU's press release: "We view the jury's verdict as a clarion call to remove violence and the threat of violence from the political debate over abortion." 

Were the anti-abortion activists on trial accused of violence? No. Did they threaten violence? Not as the ACLU or Supreme Court usually defines it, when in the context of a call for social change.

The activists posted a Web site dripping with animated blood and titled "The Nuremberg Files," after the German city where the Nazis were tried for their crimes. Comparing abortion to Nazi atrocities, the site collected dossiers on abortion doctors, whom they called "baby butchers." ... 

This is ugly, scary stuff. But it is no worse than neo-Nazi calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people, or a college student posting his rape fantasies about a fellow coed on the Web, both of which the ACLU has defended in the past. 

None of the anti-abortion group's intimidating writings explicitly threatened violence. Still, the ACLU of Oregon refused to support the defendants' First Amendment claims. Instead, it submitted a friend-of-the-court brief taking no one's side but arguing that speech constitutes a physical threat only when the speaker intends his statement to be taken as one. 

...Before anti-abortion zealots started getting sued, the ACLU had much more tolerance for menacing speech. Few of the 20th century's great social movements were entirely peaceable. The labor, civil-rights, antiwar, environmental and black-power movements were an amalgam of violence, civil disobedience and highly charged rhetoric. But to gag fiery speakers who call for harm to the establishment because others in the movement pursue their political goals with fists, guns or bombs would do terrible damage to strong, emotive pleas tot social change. It is something neither the ACLU nor, thankfully, the courts have countenanced in the past. 

That's why in 1969 the ACLU helped defend a Ku Klux Klan member who had called for violence against the president, Congress and the Supreme Court. At the ACLU's urging, the Supreme Court ruled that speech advocating violence was constitutionally protected unless it incited imminent lawless action and was likely to produce such action. This case was later used to defend the speech of black militants. 

The ACLU also applauded a 1982 Supreme Court decision that found that speeches promising violent reprisals were protected by the First Amendment. During the civil-rights movement, a leader of the NAACP called for "breaking the necks" of blacks who violated a boycott of white-owned businesses in Mississippi, and published a list of those who did. Some of the boycott violators were beaten. The court ruled that despite the atmosphere of fear, all the speeches and lists were part of a debate on a public issue that needed to be "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open."&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

&lt;blockquote&gt;I would argue that the Constitution doesn't protect all of these extreme positions of the ACLU, but that isn't the point he is trying to make.  The issue is the ACLU's curious commitment to "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" free speech when it involves things such as virtual child pornography, but not when it involves a something like a boss making racially offensive statements. 

Unfortunately, there are some people who are so hypnotized by the ACLU's absolutist views and  of the ACLU's campaign for &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2005/06/17/aclu-and-nambla-a-match-made-in-hell/" target="_blank"&gt;pedophilia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2005/07/17/aclu-policy-to-legalize-child-porn-distribution/" target="_blank"&gt;child pornography&lt;/a&gt; that they are prepared to defend an organization that has become a shadow of its former self--a group that lets its idealistic and skewed understanding of the establishment clause trump freedom of religion and freedom of speech.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Stop the ACLU had the opportunity last year of &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2005/12/26/best-of-2005-interview-with-a-former-aclu-lawyer/" target="_blank"&gt;interviewing a former ACLU lawyer.&lt;/a&gt;  He was concerned with much of the same things. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;The ACLU played a helpful role in the civil rights movement defending these people, and I can't turn my back on that. I have to give credit where credit is due."  "But….that being said, what they have done in the past is completely eviscerated by what they do in the present. The ACLU has become a fanatical anti-faith Taliban of American religious secularism." 

"The ACLU is involved in the secular cleansing of our history. This is not just a fight about free exercise, but about the protection of our American history. The ACLU want to deny America the knowledge of their Christian heritage."&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

It seems that the many of the ACLU's greatest critics came from their very ranks.  &lt;a href=" http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2005/12/08/division-at-the-aclu/" target="_blank"&gt;The division within&lt;/a&gt; the ACLU will continue as long as the ACLU continues on the irresponsible, hypocritical path it is on.  America needs a civil liberties union, sadly the ACLU isn't doing that job.  If the ACLU succeeds in the dangerous direction it is steering America, they will ironically be putting in jeapordy the very liberty they claim to protect.

Honesty At Last 

I stumbled across an op-ed piece on the Drudge Report written by LA Times columnist Joel Stein. I highly encourage you to read this before continuing. Now, there was a time when I would drag this guy out back and kick the s#@! out of him for saying what he said. But, not right now. Actually, Mr Stein's column is a breath of fresh air from the anti-war crowd. Frankly, I've grown weary of the progressives parroting their favorite catch-phrase over the past year. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. You can hear it from Massachusettes to San Francisco..."I support the troops."

Democratic National Committee Chairman, said recently that many Republican
have never done an honest day's work in their life. 

The following full page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a
businessman named George J. Esseff, Sr.
He paid $104, 655.60 to run the ad and only did it because he is sick and
tired of the way that "the rich" are portrayed by liberals these days.  It
is a great read.


                     Maybe you're a Republican?

In today's America ask a growing number of high school and college
students, their teachers and professors, the self-anointed media elite
and/or hard working men and women of all ethnicities, the question, "What
! is a Republican?" and you'll be told ". a rich, greedy, egotistical
individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and
more of it, at the expense of the environment, the working poor....and all
whom they exploit..."

I am a Republican - And I am none of those things...and I don't know any
Republicans who are!

WHAT I AM first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years,
the father of four and an American who's proud of his country...and his
country's heritage

WHAT I AM is the grandson of immigrants who risked everything, including
their lives and those of their children, to escape tyranny in search of
freedom.

WHAT I AM is a man who grew up during the Depression and witnessed first
hand the effects of the Stock Market crash and the soup lines that
followed.   I watched as both my parents and grand parents, who had very
little themselves, share what food they had with a half dozen other
families, who had even less.

WHAT I AM is someone who worked his way through college by holding down
three and four jobs at a time and then used that education to build a
better life.

WHAT I AM is a husband who at age 24 started his own business for the
"privilege" of working 60, 70 and 80 hours a week, risking everything I
had including my health, in search of a better life for myself and my
loved ones.

WHAT I AM is a businessman whose blood, sweat and tears....and plenty of
them..., made it possible for me to provide a secure living not only for
my family and myself, but also for literally hundreds of my employees
throughout the years.  Employees who in turn were able to buy their own
homes, raise their own families and give back to their communities and
their country.

WHAT I AM is a man who believes in God; a God who has blessed this
country... and all for which it stands.

WHAT I AM is someone who knows, if you doubt miracles exist in today's
world, you need only to look into the face of those who received
them....and the eyes of those who give them.

WHAT I AM is an American who's proud that his President embraces a belief
in God; proud of a President who understands, as "politically incorrect"
as it may be, there is evil in this world and for the security and safety
of all freedom loving people everywhere, it must be confronted...and it
must be defeated.


WHAT I AM is an American who takes comfort in the knowledge that our
President refuses to allow decisions concerning the very safety and
security of this nation, to be governed by the political whims of foreign
governments.

WHAT I AM is tired of hearing from leading Democrats who see only
negativity in America; racism in her people; class warfare in her society
and "political incorrectness" in her character.


WHAT I AM is a former democrat who now understands that it is the soldier
and not the reporter that guarantees us our freedoms of press, speech and
dissent.

WHAT I AM is a man who believes in the sanctity of life. A man who is
repulsed by the pandering of the political left for votes, at the expense
of the unborn.

WHAT I AM is a husband and father who believes in the sanctity of marriage
and the preservation of the family unit.

WHAT I AM is a ex-movie goer who is repulsed by those insecure, socially
inept, elementary thinking, ego-inflated "entertainers" who have appointed
themselves "experts" in the fields of national security and geo-politics
and then use their forum to attack this nation, its leaders and its
actions.... much to the delight and encouragement of our enemies.

WHAT I AM is an American who understands the difference between
"censorship" and "choice."   Evidently, these individuals do not, because
when these same "celebrities" receive public ridicule for their offensive
actions, the first thing they yell is "censorship." What they seem
incapable of understanding is... the right of free speech and dissent is
shared equally by those offended. ..as well as those who offend.  I
support and will continue to support those films and performers whom I
choose to and refuse to support those I don't.  It is my right as an 
American a right I will continue to enthusiastically exercise.

WHAT I AM is a voter, tired of politicians who every time their voting
records are subjected to public scrutiny, try to divert attention from
their political and legislative failures by accusing their opponents of
"attack ads" and "negative campaigning".... and the news media who allow
them to get away with it.

WHAT I AM is a Christian who loves his God and his Faith.... and who's
been taught to respect all religions whose teachings are based in love,
peace and charity.  As such, I am embarrassed and ashamed of those
individuals in both private and public life whose decisions and actions
are devoid of any sense of character or morals; individuals who are only
driven by what's best for them....rather than what's right... often times
at the expense of many....including our national security.

WHAT I AM is a realist who understands that the terrorist attack that
murdered hundreds of innocent Russian children could have occurred here,
in our heartland. That's why I sincerely believe America needs now, more
than ever, a President who sees with a clear and focused vision and who
speaks with a voice when heard by both friend and foe alike is understood,
respected and believed.

WHAT I AM is eternally grateful to Ronald Reagan for having the bravery to
speak out against Communism and the courage of his convictions in leading
the fight to defeat it; and George W. Bush for the vision, courage,
conviction and leadership he has shown in America's war on terrorism
amidst both the constant and vicious, personal and political attacks both
he and his family are made to endure.

WHAT I AM is a human being, full of numerous faults and failures, but a
man nonetheless who though not always successful has continually strived
to do "what's right" instead of "what's easy."  A man who is challenging
the religious leaders of all faiths, to not only preach to their
congregations the fundamentals of "what's right" and "what's wrong," but
to also then hold them accountable for their actions in both the public
and private sectors.

WHAT I AM is disgusted with the Courts who on one hand call the murder of
a pregnant woman a "double homicide," but then refer to the abortion of
her baby as "pro-choice".

WHAT I AM is someone deeply troubled by a political party which embraces a
candidate whose primary "leadership" qualities center around his
protesting of the Vietnam war and his labeling the honorable men and women
who fought in it, (50,000 of whom gave their lives in that action), as
rapists, and war criminals (John Kerry). That same political party then
stepped forward this year to block the appearance of a true Vietnam war
hero, retired Admiral and former United States Senator, Jeremiah Denton,
(a man who spent seven years and seven torturous months in a North Vietnam
prison), from speaking before an open session of the California
legislature as part of that state's 4th of July celebration. The reason
Democrats gave for refusing to allow this American hero to speak before
their state legislature was because of the "conservative" nature of his
views.   As an American, that troubles me deeply....as well it should you.
(Are you listening Mr. D?)

WHAT I AM is a man who feels the need to spend, ONE HUNDRED &amp; FOUR
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED &amp; FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($104, 655.60, tax
paid) of his own money, to purchase this advertisement, in order to set
the story straight.   Some may say this money would have been better spent
feeding the world's poor. At the risk of sounding self-serving, as an
American and as a Republican, for the last six decades of my life, I have
done exactly that...and more. Following the examples of my parents and
grand parents, I have used my earnings to feed the poor, shelter the
homeless, provide housing for the elderly and medical care for the
sick.....and continue to do so...and I'm not alone in that work.

WHAT I AM is someone who is paying for this announcement at my sole
expense in hopes of opening the eyes of those led blindly by ill-informed
elements of our great nation, who, through either ignorance, or malicious
intent, repeatedly attack and belittle those of us who belong to a
political party that holds true to the belief, "The rights of the
governed, exceed the power of the government."  For those interested,    
I am speaking only as a tax-paying individual who is in no way associated
with the Republican National Committee, nor with any of its directors, or
delegates.

WHAT I AM is a man who understands, "the American way of life" is a
message of self-empowerment for all.

WHAT I AM is an American who is grateful that our nation gives each of us
the opportunity of self-determination and the right to benefit from the
fruits of self achievement.

WHAT I AM is an American who wants to preserve that way of life for all
who seek it.

WHAT I AM is blessed to be an American.... and proud to be a Republican.

Have a good day

Have you been to Ground Zero? Were you there as the cloud rolled over you, as dust filled your lungs and while unseen concrete and steel landed loudly and smashed down all around you?  Were you there when a nation and most of the world, in heart or in person, converged, climbed, and crawled upon and within a smoldering Pile and prayed for rescue — any rescue — day and night?  Were you there when your last hope was reverently carried from there or left there? Were you there a year later when the dust swirled, as the faint trace of the lost sought their loved ones to gently embrace them and then rose up to street level to those reciting their names?  In mind or body, have you been to Ground Zero?

By MARK STEVENSON, AP
MEXICO CITY (Jan. 25) - A Mexican government commission said Tuesday it will distribute at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert to curb the death toll among illegal border crossers.

The National Human Rights Commission, a government-funded agency with independent powers, denied the maps - similar to a comic-style guide booklet Mexico distributed last year - would encourage illegal immigration.

Officials said the maps would help guide those in trouble find rescue beacons and areas with cell phone reception. The maps will also show the distance a person can walk in the desert in a single day.

"We are not trying in any way to encourage or promote migration," said Mauricio Farah, one of the commission's national inspectors. "The only thing we are trying to do is warn them of the risks they face and where to get water, so they don't die."

Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the U.S. Homeland Security Department, questioned whether the maps would keep those crossing the border safer.

"It is not helpful for anyone, no matter how well intended they might be, to produce road maps that lead aliens into the desolate and dangerous areas along the border, and potentially invite criminal activity, human exploitation and personal risk," he said.

And some advocates of greater immigration control were irritated by the map announcement.

"What's next? Are they going to buy them bus tickets to Chicago?" said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank. "It's clearly a bad thing for Mexico to be encouraging illegal immigration."

The comic booklet for migrants was distributed by the government in early 2005 and warned of the perils of crossing illegally into the United States, while offering tips to stay safe.

The booklet, of which about 1.5 million were printed, enraged some advocates of stricter immigration policies in the United States who argue that it encouraged illegal migration.

Farah said his commission was simply trying to prevent deaths and estimated that around 500 Mexicans died trying to cross the border in 2005. Many die in the desert, where summer temperatures soar above 100 degrees, and many drown while attempting to cross the Rio Grande river.

The commission plans to hang the poster-size maps in March in places where migrants will see them, such as migrant-aid groups, the commission's offices and in Mexican border towns.

They were designed by the Tucson, Ariz.-based rights group Humane Borders, which operates some of the desert water stations. The group previously distributed about 100 posters in the Mexican border town of Sasabe.

The Rev. Robin Hoover, president of Humane Borders, said maps are needed in southern Mexico so migrants can weigh the risks before leaving home.

Some of the posters have warnings, such as "Don't go. There isn't enough water," but officials conceded many migrants were unlikely to heed the advice.

Knocke said the United States had increased personnel and surveillance along the border to discourage illegal crossings and immigrant smugglers.

"Our message should be clear: we are securing our borders and we're dramatically increasing the likelihood of apprehensions," he said.

Farah said migration "is a human right" and that "the United States should be grateful" the commission is doing something to curb the death toll, because "hundreds of thousands of Mexicans help maintain their economy."

Mexicans working in the United States are a huge source of revenue for Mexico, sending home more than $16 billion in remittances in 2004, Mexico's second largest source of foreign currency after oil exports according to the country's central bank.

Associated Press writer Lara Jakes Jordan in Washington contributed to this report.

&lt;strong&gt;Hello, is it just me or do you get the idea that these people have been in the sun to long... We don't want them here, not this way anyway. Next we will be required to give thieves house plans so that they can rob us without the possibility of getting caught and injured. Enough is enough people we have got to e-mail, call or write our leaders and tell them to make this stop. We must alert businesses that if we suspect they are using illegal labor not only will we report them we will stop doing business with them. 

if you hear loud Mexican music around your house assume they are illegal and report them.  It is just like when a relative moves in only for a couple of weeks till they can get on their feet, they will not leave unless you make them. We cannot make it comfortable for these people or our leaders. Call your senator daily and ask them have you done anything about the illegal immigrants yet? E-mail them daily and let them know without a doubt that they will lose your vote if you do not see with your own eyes some action. If we must on weekends we need to buy poster boards and stand in the street and let them know we want this to stop.

Liberals concede future elections
Written by: Carolyn Hileman

While it is true that at one time the Democratic Party stood for something and was once a major force in the world it appears that, that is all about to change. Worldwide, some 20-30 million legal abortions are performed each year, with another 10-20 million abortions performed illegally. What this simply means is that while they are exercising their right over their body they are also negating one vote in the ballot box in eighteen years. Since abortions became legal twenty years ago some four hundred million abortions have been performed using the lower number given for those done legally. 

Stop and think about this for a moment, eight years ago it would have seemed highly unlikely that a conservative could have won the White House much less two years in a row. Is this because the conservatives did such a wonderful job of changing the minds of the liberals, I think not. The simple matter of it is that they have been and continue to systematically kill off their constituents. What they call exercising their rights, is actually destroying their chance at being a governing power. 

There is an e-mail flying around the internet that says to leave the liberals and the gays alone because in ten years they will have killed themselves off, while some of us conservatives think it is funny, it does have a lot of merit. Take for instance the animals in the wild; if they fail to reproduce or kill off their young they become extinct. The fact is the liberals by their sheer nature are making themselves extinct. If they continue to kill off their constituency in record numbers and engage in sex that produces no offspring they will in fact be extinct in the next ten to twenty years. 

While this is cause for celebration among many conservatives I am sure, it is still lives that we are dealing with. While they busily call these children a fetus we call them a person and raise them to believe the same. The liberals however will not have that option; they cannot shape the future if they have no future to shape. They will not be able to raise another generation of liberals simply because they called them a fetus and terminated them. The future is our children, our legacy is our children, without them we become just another one of those sites they dig up a hundred years from now. So twenty years from now when there isn’t even enough liberals left to be a party they will have no one other than themselves to blame. From what I can tell each time a procedure is done the liberals are conceding a future election.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113816903740501012?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113816903740501012/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113816903740501012&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113816903740501012'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113816903740501012'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/liberals-concede-future-elections.html' title='Liberals concede future elections'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651037.post-113813275794406090</id><published>2006-01-24T11:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-24T11:59:17.956-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush Says He Hasn't Seen 'Brokeback Mountain'</title><content type='html'>MANHATTAN, Kan. (Jan. 24) - Asked his opinion of the movie "Brokeback Mountain," President Bush hemmed and hawed.

"You would love it. You should check it out," a man in the audience told Bush Monday during a question and answer session at Kansas State University.

After some hesitation - and laughter in the audience - Bush said, "I'd be glad to talk about ranching, but I haven't seen the movie." The audience laughed some more, and Bush, who owns a ranch in Texas, allowed that, "I've heard about it."

"Brokeback Mountain" is a cowboy romance about two ranch-hand buddies who conceal a long homosexual affair from their families. The movie has won four Golden Globe prizes, including best picture honors in the drama category.

&lt;strong&gt;File this in the who cares section. I do not care what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom but I am not about to pay to watch it. I mean really how about we force atheists to go watch the Passion, give me a break. This is the reason I love living in America because I have the freedom never to see this movie...

THE CONSTANT GARDNER (2005) 


SHORT REVIEW: A loud mouth liberal who goes off on political screeds at dinner, blames strangers for the war in Iraq and goes on a personal crusade against evil pharmaceutical companies gets bumped off. The movie wants us to believe this to be a bad thing.

White House
Wednesday, June, 22, 2006 


Thank you very much, Michael, for your kind introduction - and for all you have done over the years to advance the conservative cause in this great state and throughout our land. You are a forceful and articulate champion of conservatism - and all of us are grateful for your energy and commitment to a great cause. 

I honored to receive the Charles Edison Memorial Award, particularly in light of your previous honorees, including Representative Jack Kemp, Senator Zell Miller, and above all, President Ronald Wilson Reagan. That is better company than I deserve to be in - but I'll take what I can get.

It's a pleasure to be among so many friends and fellow conservatives - and it's a privilege to speak to the Conservative Party of New York. You provide much of the energy and activism and hard work that has brought us to a moment when conservatism is the dominant political creed in America - and when we are making progress on so many important issues. 

Think for a moment how much has been achieved by conservatives in the last 40 years. The conservative movement has gone from a small, principled opposition to a broad, inclusive movement that is self-assured, optimistic, forward-leaning, and dominant. 

Four decades ago conservatism was relegated to the political wilderness - and today conservatism is the guiding philosophy in the White House, the Senate, the House, and in governorships and state legislatures throughout America. 

More importantly, we have seen the great rise of a great cause. Conservatives have achieved a tremendous amount in the past 2 ½ decades - but there is more, much more, that remains to be done. This afternoon I will devote my remarks to the President's victory in November; the ideas that will continue to work in our favor; and the state of contemporary liberalism.

The political realignment in America is moving ahead; here are some of the reasons I believe this is happening. 

To you, the Presidential election probably seems like it took place a long time ago; I know that's certainly how it seems to me. But it was a key election in the history of our country - and there are important things we can learn from it.

Recall that in 2004, we faced a united opposition which outspent our side by over $40 million in a time of controversial war and a recovering, but not recovered economy.

The 2004 election was a steep political mountain to climb, but the President scaled it - and he did so with energy, passion, decency, and an unwavering commitment to principle. What is significant about November's victory is not simply that the President won, but how he won.

In the 2004 election, President Bush placed all his chips on the table. There was no trimming on issues, no "campaign conversion," no backing away from Social Security and tax code reform. The President persistently made the case for an "ownership society"; championed a culture of life; defended the institution of marriage; stood with the people of Iraq in their passage to liberty; remained committed to spreading democracy in the Middle East; and continued to aggressively wage and win the war on global terrorism. 

President Bush showed himself as he is. He wanted a referendum on what he has accomplished - and most importantly, on what he hopes to achieve. 

The victory itself was significant. President Bush received more votes than any other candidate in American history. He's the first President since 1988 to win a majority of the popular vote. He increased his popular vote total by 11.6 million votes since 2000 - more than four-and-a-half times President Clinton's increase from 1992 to 1996. President Bush improved his percentage in all but three states. He improved his vote in 87 percent of all counties and carried more than 80 percent of the counties - and he won in 97 of the 100 fastest-growing counties and George W. Bush is also the first President since FDR to be re-elected while his party gained seats in the House and Senate - and the first Republican President since 1924 to get re-elected while re-electing Republican House and Senate majorities. And he won with a higher percentage than any Democratic Presidential candidate has received since 1964.

President Bush achieved what almost none of his critics thought he would. 

Once again, they misunderestimated what you and he could do.

And now, moving forward, here's why we will defy expectations again. It's because of the ideas we hold.

A quarter-century ago, a Senator from this state, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, wrote this: "of a sudden, the GOP has become a party of ideas." It was true then; and it remains true today. We are the party of ideas - and as Richard Weaver wrote, "ideas have consequences." With that in mind, here are some of the ideas I believe will lead to the further realignment of American politics. 

We are seizing the Mantle of Idealism. As all of you know, President Bush is making a powerful case for spreading human liberty and defending human dignity. This was once largely the preserve of liberalism - but Ronald Reagan changed all that. It was President Reagan, you'll recall, who said the policy of the United States was not simply to contain Soviet Communism, but to transcend it. And we would, he argued, was because of the power of liberty. 

President Bush has built on those beliefs - and he is committed to something no past President has ever attempted: spreading liberty to the broader Middle East. President Bush's eventual goal is the triumph of freedom and the end of tyranny in our world. This vision, which will require the concentrated work of generations, is consistent with the deep idealism of the American people - and it is an idealism whose importance is being confirmed by history and events.

During the last four decades we have witnessed the most spectacular growth of liberty in history. More nations are free today than ever before. Consider that in a four month period - from the end of 2004 to early 2005 -- we saw elections take place in Afghanistan, the Ukraine, among the Palestinians, and in Iraq. In the span of 113 days, more than 100 million people, living on two continents, have cast free votes in nations that had never known democracy. More than half of these voters are people of the Muslim faith who live in the broader Middle East. And since those elections we have seen what scholars refer to as "The Arab Spring" in Lebanon and Egypt and elsewhere. We are seeing unprecedented progress when it comes to spreading liberty in the Middle East. 

This confidence in the power of liberty is anchored in the words of the Declaration of Independence; the arguments of President Lincoln; and the policies of President Reagan and President Bush. In his second Inaugural Address, President Bush stated it well:

"Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul. We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery. Liberty will come to those who love it."

* * * *

Second, our movement's growth has made us Agents of Reform. Edmund Burke, one of the most important figures in the history of conservatism, was known as an advocate of reform. He understood the essence of conservatism is applying timeless principles to changing circumstances, which is one of the keys to political success. 

President Bush has pointed out that many of our most fundamental systems - the tax code, health coverage, pension plans, legal systems, public education, worker training among them - were created for the world of yesterday, not tomorrow. He is committed to reforming great institutions to serve the needs of our time. As the President has said, to give every American a stake in the promise and future of our country, we will bring the highest standards to our schools. We will build an ownership society by expanding the ownership of homes and businesses, retirement savings and health insurance, and preparing Americans for the challenges of life in a free society. We are putting government on the side of reform and progress, modernization and greater freedom, more personal choice and greater prosperity. The great goal of modern-day conservatism is to make our society more prosperous and more just. 

* * * *

Third, we are defending Time-Honored Values. Conservatives have long known that political liberty depends on a healthy social and moral order. And so the President is committed to strengthening society's key institutions - families, schools, communities, and protecting those mediating structures so important to our freedom, like our churches, neighborhood and private groups - the institutions that inculcate virtues, shape character, and provide the young with moral education. 

That is why President Bush supports welfare reform that strengthens family and requires work. That is why he has supported adoption and responsible fatherhood initiatives. That is why he is building a culture of life and upholding the dignity of the human person - and seeks a world in which every child is welcomed in life and protected in law. And that is why he has provided unprecedented support for religious charities that provide a safety net of mercy and compassion.

It is why President Bush supports the protection of traditional marriage against activist judges; why he signed legislation that insists on testing, high standards, and accountability in our schools; and why he he has fostered a culture of service and citizenship. 

President Bush supports these things because he believes they will lead to a society that is more compassionate and decent, stronger and better. We are attempting to spread liberty abroad - and we must show that we are worthy of liberty at home.

* * * *

Let me now say a few words about the state of liberalism. Perhaps the place to begin is with this stinging indictment:

"Liberalism is at greater risk now than at any time in recent American history. The risk is of political marginality, even irrelevance.… [L]iberalism risks getting defined, as conservatism once was, entirely in negative terms."

These are not the words of William F. Buckley, Jr. or Sean Hannity; they are the words of Paul Starr, co-editor of The American Prospect, a leading liberal publication. 

There is much merit in what Mr. Starr writes - though he and I fundamentally disagree as to why liberalism is edging toward irrelevance. I believe the reason can be seen when comparing conservatism with liberalism.

Conservatives believe in lower taxes; liberals believe in higher taxes. We want few regulations; they want more. Conservatives measure the effectiveness of government programs by results; liberals measure the effectiveness of government programs by inputs. We believe in curbing the size of government; they believe in expanding the size of government. Conservatives believe in making America a less litigious society; liberals believe in making America a more litigious society. We believe in accountability and parental choice in education; they don't. Conservatives believe in advancing what Pope John Paul II called a "culture of life"; liberals believe there is an absolute unlimited right to abortion. 

But perhaps the most important difference between conservatives and liberals can be found in the area of national security. Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. In the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban; in the wake of 9/11, liberals believed it was time to… submit a petition. I am not joking. Submitting a petition is precisely what Moveon.org did. It was a petition imploring the powers that be" to "use moderation and restraint in responding to the… terrorist attacks against the United States." 

I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt as I watched the Twin Towers crumble to the earth; a side of the Pentagon destroyed; and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble. 

Moderation and restraint is not what I felt - and moderation and restraint is not what was called for. It was a moment to summon our national will - and to brandish steel. 

MoveOn.Org, Michael Moore and Howard Dean may not have agreed with this, but the American people did. Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9/11 and said: we will defeat our enemies. Liberals saw what happened to us and said: we must understand our enemies. Conservatives see the United States as a great nation engaged in a noble cause; liberals see the United States and they see … Nazi concentration camps, Soviet gulags, and the killing fields of Cambodia.

Has there been a more revealing moment this year than when Democratic Senator Richard Durbin, speaking on the Senate floor, compared what Americans had done to prisoners in our control at Guantanamo Bay with what was done by Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot - three of the most brutal and malevolent figures in the 20th century? 

Let me put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts to the region the words of Senator Durbin, certainly putting America's men and women in uniform in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals.

* * * *

Let me end where I began. Forty years ago, Lyndon Baines Johnson, a proud liberal, won the Presidency in a landslide. His party held 68 Senate seats; 295 House seats; and 33 governorships. 

In 2004 George W. Bush, a proud conservative, won the Presidency for the second time, receiving the most votes in American history. His party has now won seven of the last 10 Presidential elections. Republicans hold 55 Senate seats; 232 House seats; and 28 governorships.

These facts underscore how much progress has been made in four decades. It has been a remarkable rise. But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant party - in this case, the Democrat Party -- when its thinking becomes ossified; when its energy begins to drain; when an entitlement mentality takes over; and when political power becomes an end in itself rather than a means to achieve the common good. We need to learn from our successes - and from the failures of the other side and ourselves. As the governing movement in America, conservatives cannot grow tired or timid. We have been given the opportunity to govern; now we have to show we deserve the trust of our fellow citizens. 

At one time the conservative movement was largely a reactionary political party - and there was a sense of pessimism even among many of its ardent champions. You'll recall that Whittaker Chambers, who gave up his affiliation with Communism to join the West in its struggle for freedom, said he believed he was joining the losing side. 

For decades, liberals were setting the agenda, the pace of change, and the visionary goals. Conservatives were simply reacting to them. But times change, often for the better - and this President and today's conservative movement are shaping history, not trying to stop it. Together we are articulating a compelling vision of a better world -- and I am grateful to all of you who are making that better world a reality.

Thank you very much for your attention, for your support of this President, and above all, for your devotion to this country.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Debbie Schlussel, blogger/investigative writer/lawyer, is &lt;a href=" http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2006/01/interested_in_t.html " target="_blank"&gt;extending an invitation to citizens interested in intervening&lt;/a&gt; in the ACLU's NSA lawsuit. She practices in Eastern Michigan, where the suit was filed.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Also be sure to read Schlussel's exposé of some of the &lt;a href=" http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2006/01/whos_behind_the.html " target="_blank"&gt;shady plaintiffs in the ACLU's suit&lt;/a&gt;.

Stop The ACLU will be the first intervening party.  Per email of Debbie:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Jay:
For sure.  I will make you and/or Stop the ACLU the first intervening party (It will be Stop the ACLU et
al vs.  . . . .).  But I gotta work on this over the weekend.  I'll get back to you on this.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7651037-113764831938238320?l=thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/feeds/113764831938238320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7651037&amp;postID=113764831938238320&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113764831938238320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7651037/posts/default/113764831938238320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thevoiceofthecommonpeople.blogspot.com/2006/01/stop-aclu-will-be-first-intervening.html' title='Stop The ACLU will be the first intervening party.'/><author><name>Hilemanhouse</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
