Just hours after I posted my "How Enlightening"
post; Financial Times creators, Andrew Ward &
Edward Luce in DC, and Fiona Harvey in London,
worm their way into the headlines with another
DECEPTIVE story about Bush.
"Bush in U-turn on global warming" What a
load of BS....... straight from the far left "potty
machine". The President has been promoting
limited carbon emissions in the US for years, and
the MSM well knows that. However, they always
manage to bring up the Kyoto accord, in order to
cast a shadow on him.
He refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol, because it
was as flawed as a Hollywood starlet, without
makeup....... and just as loose. Why should the
US be hog-tied to an agreement that allows the
"developing world" nations, to puke their totally
unmonitored emissions into the atmosphere, while
we have to spend millions upon millions to clean
up our act? He was right not to sign it.
Oh, and by the way......CLINTON REFUSED too.
Did you see anybody jumping on him? I didn’t!
So thats two for two for the MSM. Not only did
they misrepresent what President Bush said, they
totally ignored his statements over the years.
Also notice please...........how the MSM in lock-step
with the Democratic Congress, has been backing
away from "global warming" and cozying up to the
new, "accepted" terminology......climate change.
They make Al Gore proud!
Hey fellas’ ....... climate change has been going on
for millions of years. Get a clue!

How Enlightening............!!!!
In a perfect example of "the blind leading the halt",
Howard Fineman of Newsweek writes....."Al Gore
believes a steady diet of fact-free media is
dumbing down America and threatening the political
system".
This is quite ironic, since the very media that is
printing the story is one of the top REASONS why
American has been "dumbed down". Since the
2000 election, the MSM has been relentlessly
against President Bush, for the sole reason that
they wanted a liberal in the Oval Office!
Gore of all people, should make a statement about
"fact free media" after he took full advantage of
the vicious and unproven accusations that he
and "The Party of Deceit" leveled at Bush and his
administration.
Now, suddenly he is concerned. Could it possibly
be that since FOX NEWS has become one of the
major players in the news media, he knows that
all of the lies and deceit perpetrated on the American
public by the Democrats, will not only be exposed
but believed by the electorate? (There go his
chances again!!)
Al, take a hint............. if you are sincerly "worried
about the media lying to America", stop feeding
it the pure, unadulterated crap that you do....starting
with your grossly exaggerated film on global
warming. We all know that the natural cycle of
earth for millions of years, has been to alternately
warm and cool. Next......... try not to talk so much,
about things of which you know nothing. THAT
contributes to global warming, in addition to the
"dumbing of America".

Chavez a Real Dictator
Cindy Sheehan and Hugo Chavez
I bet Hugo Chavez is smelling sulfur right now and it ain’t coming from President Bush. Chavez who appeared at the United Nations earlier this year made overtly negative references against the President of the United States of America, references in which he equated President Bush with the devil.
The Venezuelan President must be really good at name calling because now he’s calling TV stations in his country enemies of the state and he’s shutting them down.
Now if President Bush did that, he would be called a Nazi, a Fascist, a Dictator… oh wait a minute President Bush is already being called all of those things for doing nothing at all so I guess that would make Chavez a Super Dictator, etc, etc!
Tens of thousands of Venezuelans marched in Caracas in a fourth consecutive day of protests over Chavez's closure of the RCTV network Chavez has had a long-running feud with opposition television channels, which according to him openly supported a coup against him in April 2002 and refused to show the massive mobilization of his supporters that turned the tide back in his favor. Now Chavez is attacking another news station Globovision.
"Enemies of the homeland, particularly those behind the scenes, I will give you a name: Globovision. Greetings gentlemen of Globovision, you should watch where you are going, I recommend you take a tranquilizer and get into gear, because if not, I am going to do what is necessary."—Hugo Chavez, President of VenezuelaGee CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, have done what amounts to the same thing against President Bush starting with the 2000 elections you’d think that being the dictator that President Bush is he would have shut them down by now and FOX news would be the only news network anywhere in the United States of America.
I’m guessing that the claims that President Bush is a dictator have been greatly exaggerated. I’m going to have to rethink what a dictator is, now that I see how a real dictator reacts to opposition.
I’m thinking that everyone who as called President Bush a dictator should take a good hard look a Hugo Chavez because he’s made a lot of friends on the left in this country. If this is the kind of man that you on the left support you might consider taking back all that you’ve said about President Bush.
You don’t wish to look too foolishly confused, now do you?

The President’s Harriett Miers Immigration Moment
According to President Bush Harriett Miers was a good nominee for the Supreme Court because she was a “pioneer woman.” Miers was a bad choice President Bush and it took your base to bring you in line with what was good for America. It was your base that insured that Sam Alito a solid qualified judge was nominated and eventually approved by Congress.
President Bush please understand that your compassionate Conservativism in 2000 and 2004 was the least of two evils in both cases. In both cases Democrats ran candidates that were totally unacceptable and if you were to run against them again America should vote for you again.
However I must say that your immigration policy is another Harriet Miers moment and your attacks against Republicans are unwarranted.
So many were the times that you should have stood up against your distracters and give them back as good as you were getting. You know, tell them how ridiculous it was to accuse you of stealing the 2000 and 2004 elections. I wanted someone in the Whitehouse to break down for the American people the decision to go to war and answer that question from a historical perspective starting from the Presidencies of George H. W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton to George W Bush. So many times I wished that you would tell the Democrats how they are dividing the nation with the hate Bush memes. But you didn’t.
So many issues and nothing but a deafening silence from the Bush White house so why did you sudden find your voice on the immigration issue and why against Conservatives?
Conservatives that have carried you in spite of your inability or your unwillingness to defend yourself against the vicious attacks from the left, the left has attacked everything from your intelligence, your integrity, your competence, and your credibility, and though it all Conservatives supported you because it was the best thing for America.
However, Conservatives are now feeling that your comprehensive immigration reform is not good for America. Conservatives feel that your plan is good for corporate America but that is not the same as Middle America the every day working person who is America.
President Bush corporate America as divested itself from America and the American people for the pursuit of the bottom line; record profits, usurious CEO salaries and compensation packages, outsourcing American jobs, corporate downsizing, encouraging illegal alien entry, encouraging a borderless America, internationalizing and becoming transnational, evading taxes, and consolidating economical strength and power through monopolies. All of these things are a tyrannous threat to the people of America.
John Sherman put it, "If we will not endure a king as a political power we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life." President Bush the Sherman Antitrust Act passed Congress almost unanimously in 1890 and you need to explain to Americans why your comprehensive immigration reform act (CIRA) is not a corporate boondoggle.
The record profits have not escaped our attention President Bush the want for cheap labor has not escaped our attention either. And finally the shrinking middle class has not escaped our attention.
Yet the most important thing is that the founders when to great lengths to protect America from tyrannous rulers and consolidated power but recently we Americans have witnessed a great power rising out of America yet that power is not claiming America as its own.
What we have witnessed is not laisser faire, what we are witnessing is not free market economics what we are seeing is an amoral, heartless, soulless beast that feeds off of the suffering of people. Its one and only motivation is to suck all economic life from the people. It is a tyrannous ruler and enslaver of the people that has wanton disregard for its destruction of the lives, which it devours. This is the Corporate beast that we see President Bush and we believe that your comprehensive immigration reform benefits this beast not the American people and certainly not Mexican people.
It is not Marxist in any way to suggest that the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 had it right in opposing or regulating these huge corporate business monopolies, such as trusts or cartels, especially in the interest of promoting competition.
President Bush you need to explain why you think that granting 20 million Mexican citizens amnesty is good for America. President Bush you need to show the American people that you can enforce the laws that are already on the books, and President Bush you need to pardon Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos two border patrol agents who are imprisoned now for attempting to enforce the U.S. border.
President Bush you are correct about one thing we are skeptical because we don’t think the government can fix our problems. We don’t even think that the government wishes to fix our problems.
If it did it would immediate stop attempting to push through insulting legislation, which was originally patched together to entice Americans to give corporations cheap labor under the guise, that it will strength borders and give Mexican citizens a “path to citizenship.”
What this bill will really do is exacerbate problems of the low waged unskilled workers in America, give the appearance of border enforcement and give corporations exactly what they want.
President Bush we can only save you from just so many Harriet Miers moments you continue down this road on immigration you walk without the Conservative party because unlike your allies on the other side we put America first, before politics, before winning and before any politician.
We’ve carried you this far if you chose to walk away we’ll simply find someone who will do the job that a compassionate conservative won’t do and then you and Jimma Carter can compare accomplishments. That’ll be interesting now won’t it!

An Inconvenient Change
Speaker Pelosi, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, and Mr. Paul Pelosi, Global warming tour
"This trip for us began in Greenland where we saw first-hand evidence that climate change is a reality," Pelosi said. "There is just no denying it. We saw the impact on the local people there, on their hunting, their fishing, their economic survival.
"And it wasn't caused by the people in Greenland. It was caused by the behavior in the rest of the world."
"The science is clear, the challenge is undeniable," Pelosi said. "We have to work together, though, to reach a solution."
How did you spend Memorial Day? I hope that you remembered the countless Americans that gave their lives for this country. I was with family and friends and we discussed the sacrifice that families all over this great country had made and are making because of love ones who have paid the ultimate price for this country in past wars and presently in Iraq.
Nancy Pelosi took a delegation of politicians to Greenland this Memorial Day during Congress’ holiday break for the purpose of changing the way we discuss the subject of Global warming in this country. And the Speaker of the house made a monumental discovery during this trip which was in her own words, “climate change is real.”
What is profoundly ironic about Ms. Pelosi’s epiphany is that many had dubbed this trip the Global warming tour; and one would have thought that Ms. Pelosi would have come back extolling dangers of Global warming and the fact that Global warming is real, but she didn’t. Pelosi and her delegation used the tax payer’s dime to come back with the very important message that the climate is changing, imagine that! I’m guessing that we all knew that Ms. Pelosi.
Pelosi joined by Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-S.D.), Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), John Larsen (D-Conn.), Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), and the token Republican David Hobson of Ohio on the trip.
Rep. Hobson was there so that Ms. Pelosi could boast of a bi-partisan delegation, what Pelosi is hoping is that you don’t realize that she has change the topic of Global warming into that of climate change.
Most Democrats won’t notice because… well they’re Democrats, but this Orwellian redefinition, this shift of topic is, number one, an admission that the shill warnings of the earth burning to a crisp were lies! And second this reorientation is meant to keep the momentum of all the little global warming sycophants while trying to establish the cause on science rather than emotion.
As more scientist come out against Al Gore’s “Michael Moorish” attempt to affect the outcomes of social change on environmental issues by film and DVD, the left senses that it needs a change in direction in order to remain believable even to their committed.
The fact is the left is no longer comfortable attempting to sale the theory that human emissions of CO2 is the cause of global warming and that it is under human power to stop it, now that many more reputable scientist are taking issue with flawed models and flawed theories.
Link``We do not understand the natural internal variability of climate change the Arctic was as warm or warmer in 1940,the evidence so far suggests that the Greenland ice sheet is actually growing on average. Alpine glaciers have been retreating since the early 19th century, and were advancing for several centuries before that. Since about 1970, many of the glaciers have stopped retreating and some are now advancing again. And, frankly, we don't know why." --Richard Lindzen, MIT Alfred P. Sloan professor of meteorology”
The fact that media and popular opinion is driving this discussion on the left is disturbing especially because it is the left that accuses their opponents of being “deniers” as if people who disagree with global warming advocates have something in common with people who hate Jews and deny that the holocaust really happened.
Link``Most media reports ignore the evidence for cooling and focus instead on records from land stations, which indicate a 1°F increase in surface temperatures during the 20th century. What they fail to report is that this increase was measured mostly in and around urban centers, and therefore indicates urban—not global—warming.
Also left unreported is the fact that 90 percent of this 1°F urban warming occurred before 1940. If carbon dioxide emitted by industries and cars was causing this warming, should not most of the increase in temperature have occurred after 1940, when industries and cars became more plentiful and, consequently, carbon emissions increased significantly?
Even more interesting, but also left unreported, is the fact that from 1946 until 1975, while industrialization expanded and carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere increased, urban surface temperatures actually cooled. At the time, many in the media feared a new ice age.
Such facts throw into question the belief that global warming exists and that industrialization is affecting the earth's temperature. Nevertheless, the New York Times recently stated: "Human activity is the dominant force behind . . . global warming."
Dr. Fred Singer, professor of environmental sciences and former director of the National Weather Satellite Service, explains that climate change is a natural phenomenon, which has been going on for hundreds of millions of years. Ice core samples from the Arctic, for example, show an 18ºF temperature variation during the last 160,000 years. Dr. Singer further notes that solar activity greatly affects the temperatures and the climate on earth.
But most reports in the media ignore the existence of dissenting views such as Dr. Singer's. According to Scientific American, "few scientists doubt the atmosphere is warming." Time magazine bluntly claims: "Scientists no longer doubt that global warming is happening."
Ms. Pelosi no one is denying that the climate is changing in fact let us agree that it is a fact that the climate is changing and that has been a reality since the earth was formed.
And no one is denying that the earth is getting warmer and/or cooler depending on where one is on the planet.
What we disagree about is allowing you to increase our tax burden in the name of Global warming or Climate change to attempt to fix a phenomenon that is beyond the control of humankind to fix or control in any meaningful way.
And some of us, perhaps just a few resent that you would attempt to insult our intelligence with dishonest political ploys meant to stampede the electorate toward self taxation in order to support your pop political causes
Best News Ever............!
MSNBC notes that Cindy Sheehan, the mother
of a fallen soldier, has given up her position
as "dupe for the left".
I’m sincerely sorry Ms Sheehan, over the loss
of your son. My sympathies were with you,
until you blamed the president personally for
your misfortune. You should have put the
blame where it really belonged.
Since you have been promoted all along, as
the person who "galvanized the anti-war
movement"........... can we now rest assured
that they movement will collapse? I truly
hope so, for the benefit of the country.
Now that you are departing the scene, and
going home to "try to be normal", I wonder
if you will reflect on how the far left used
your grief and pain, to further their own end.
Did you ever consider the countless parents
that your ridiculous actions hurt? Yours
was not the first tragedy of the war, and does
not appear to have been the last. Many have
died, and possibly many more will. It
needent be in Iraq. It might be right here in
the United States on some calm Sunday
morning. It has happened before, and unless
we keep a strong president in the White
House, it will happen again.
The Democrats have no intention of
fighting terrorism,either abroad or at home.
The party that you have chosen to align
yourself with, was once a noble one. But
the years have stripped away any shred of
decency for which they once stood. Now
it is run by liars and vengful losers, who
have the new opportunity to seek reprisals
against those who have done right for the
country.
They have made totally false accusations
against the opposing party, and the President,
in the hopes that some of them will stick.
With the help of the MSM, they have distorted
the news and have even tried to reverse the
legitimate win of President Bush in 2000.
Now that they have wormed their way into
the controlling position in Congress, they are
eying the Presidency. How many more lies
will they have to tell to make that happen.
And more importantly, will they be able to
continue duping the voters into thinking that
they are really going to change things. You
can already count, on both your fingers and
your toes, the complete reversals of
statements and promises made by Reid and
Pelosi, prior to the election.
Your intentions might have been honest at
the time of your grief, but they totally changed
your message and you. I hope that the next
time you decide to fight for a cause, that you
do it in a more reasonable and respectful
fashion. If you can’t, and "rather live under
Hugo Chavez rather than George W. Bush",
I remind you that we have no limits on
emigration. You are free to leave!

Obama’s Health Insurance Pie in the Sky!
It all sounds great, if not a bit "fuzzy". While
claiming specifics, Obama’s plan is as unclear
as Hillary’s and Edward’s ‘04 plans were.
He calls for "government, business and
consumers" to share the cost. Very
enlightening, but he fails to show the proposed
breakdowns in proportion. We all know what
his "proportional breakdowns" will be, when
they are finally exposed.
Government will be the prime supplier of the
funds to float this vote-getting show. Next in
line will be business - both large and small -
that will get huge tax increases (already
threatened by the Democratic Congress),
further choking it’s ability to be competitive
against foreign competition. We also know
that the liberals plan to kill the Bush tax cuts
for the "wealthiest Americans"...... but their
idea of wealthy is anybody making more than
$50,000 per year.
Meanwhile, he backs unlimited alien access to
the country, which will totally bankrupt not
just the health system, but the country as a
whole.
"The plan", is supposed to be saving the
average consumer $2,500 per year. But
by the time you factor in the huge increase
in the national debt, the bankrupting of
Medicare AND Medicaid, and the voiding
of the Bush tax cuts "for the wealthiest among
us" we will find ourselves back in the Clinton
hay-days of high taxation and stifled business
and job markets.
Forget about that $2,500 "saving". Only one
gaining anything on this, would be Obama, at
the voting booth...... if he can find enough fools
who would vote for him.
Looking closer at his plan, which the AP seems
to have full access to (what else?).......... it stacks
up like this:
He’s going to retain the private insurance system,
BUT inject additional funds into it (from where I
might inquire?). He’s going to create a National
Health Insurance Exchange to monitor insurance
companies offering the coverage creating yet
another governmental bureaucracy to increase
governmental payrolls and further exacerbate an
already financially bankrupt system. (Where is
the ACLU on this one? What about the privacy
issue, for which they are always making
accusations against President Bush?)
Those "unable to afford coverage", will get a
subsidy on a sliding scale.....from whom, do you
ask?......................guess! It will come from
yours and my pockets............. further increasing
our own costs, in order to pad Obama’s chance
at the ballot box.
Once a plan such as his is put into place, there
will be escalating costs on a daily basis.
Every family making less than $30,000 per
year will be entitled to "some kind" of benefits.
Every alien arriving here legally will get
immediate benefits. Every illegal alien, together
with extended family will be on the dole. I mean,
that is the "Democratic way of life", isn’t it?
Buy as many votes as possible, with promises that
will continue to cost us over and over again. Never
mind that every citizen born and raised here, and
having worked hard all their lives, will be picking
up the tab.
No thanks Barack............ not good enough!

subsidy on a sliding scale.....from whom, do you
ask?......................guess! It will come from
yours and my pockets............. further increasing
our own costs, in order to pad Obama’s chance
at the ballot box.
Once a plan such as his is put into place, there
will be escalating costs on a daily basis.
Every family making less than $30,000 per
year will be entitled to "some kind" of benefits.
Every alien arriving here legally will get
immediate benefits. Every illegal alien, together
with extended family will be on the dole. I mean,
that is the "Democratic way of life", isn’t it?
Buy as many votes as possible, with promises that
will continue to cost us over and over again. Never
mind that every citizen born and raised here, and
having worked hard all their lives, will be picking
up the tab.
No thanks Barack............ not good enough!

Memorial Day, 2007
Today we are supposed to be "celebrating" the
memory of all those who died for our country.
But the loser Democrats will spend their day
detracting and belittling the present day
accomplishments of our fine forces, as they
did with the Vietnam war heros.
In ‘08, the Democrats will be called to task
for their false accusations against the Bush
administration and the President himself.
As soon as the American voters realize that
it is the liberals who have concocted the lies
and false accusations, for selfish reasons
and not for the country’s good, there will
be a huge reversal of congressional control.
I never miss the opportunity to throw
these quotes into the faces of the Democrats
who try to accuse President Bush of invading
Iraq on false pretenses........................
MOSTLY because the liberals hate to be
reminded that they are the biggest single
cause of dissent in this country.... and strictly
for SELFISH reasons........like votes!
It is particularly amusing to read the words
of Pelosi, the Clintons, Gore and Kerry. It's
amazing, how in a short period of time (that
lead-up to Election Day) the leopards
change their spots.
The Iraqi Threat: A Retrospective:
The question was never if Saddam Hussein
posed a threat; everyone agreed he did. The
question was who was going to do something
about it. "One way or the other, we are
determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop
weapons of mass destruction and the missiles
to deliver them. That is our bottom
line."- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use
force, our purpose is clear...We want to
seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [the USA], but what
happens there matters a great deal here. For
the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will
use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons
against us or our allies is the greatest security
threat we face."- Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction
again, as he has ten times since 1983."
- Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security
Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress,
and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and
laws, to take necessary actions (including, if
appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect
Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat
posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of
mass destruction programs."-
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens.
Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and
others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the
development of weapons of mass destruction
technology which is a threat to countries in
the region and he has made a mockery of the
weapons inspection process."-
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money
on building weapons of mass destruction and
palaces for his cronies."- Madeline Albright,
Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has
invigorated his weapons programs. Reports
indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear
programs continue apace and may be back to
pre-Gulf War status. In adition, Saddam
continues to redefine delivery systems and is
doubtless using the cover of a licit missile
program to develop longer-range missiles that
will threaten the United States and our allies."
- Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob
Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam
Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and
stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandated of the United Nations and is building
weapons of mass destruction and the means of
delivering them."- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies
of biological and chemical weapons throughout
his country."- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction
has proven impossible to deter and we should
assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam
is in power."- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam
Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of
mass destruction."- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA),
Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in
October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam
Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked
on a crash course to build up his chemical and
biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports
indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."-
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the
United States the authority to use force if
necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein because
I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of
mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave
threat to our security."- Sen. John F. Kerry
(D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left,
intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein
has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability,
and his nuclear program. He has also given aid,
comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al
Qaeda members .. It is clear, however, that if left
unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to
increase his capacity to wage biological and
chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop
nuclear weapons."- Sen. Hillary Clinton
(D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam
Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator,
leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so
consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now
he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for
weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat
of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass
destruction is real..."- Sen. John F. Kerry
(D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

CREDIBILITY
Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
"I'm credible because I read the intelligence," Bush said when a reporter asked if his warning in a Wednesday speech at the US Coast Guard Academy, based on two-year old intelligence, could be trusted. -- Michael Roston,theRawStory
As you know America is at war. But I’m not talking about the Iraq war no I’m talking about the war which many Americans think less important yet this war is much more insidiously devastating to America. This war has ripped the concept of truth right out of the soul of this nation and will be the death of this country if allowed to continue. This war is the war on credibility.
We now live in a nation where we assume that no one is credible. Like Dr. Gregory House on the Fox TV show, House, MD Americans believes that everyone is lying to us unless of course they are of our own partisan persuasion.
That brings me to the incident which crystallized this point in my thinking. On May 24, 2007 a reporter questioned President Bush, after statements the President made before a graduating class of the Coast Guard Academy, it was quite apparent that implied in that reporters question were eight years of, “Bush lied and people died!”
The reporter unflinchingly asked the President could his statements regarding Iraq be trusted based on two-year old intelligence.
Can the President of the United States be trusted? After all that is the question that rival partisans have spent Bush’s whole Presidency trying to raise now isn’t it? President Bush’s opponents have gone to immeasurable lengths to discredit him every step of the way. This President’s integrity has been impugned worst than any other President in American history.
In 2000 his distracters falsely accused him of stealing the Presidential elections not even an independent investigation several months after the election which proves that President Bush won the 2000 election is enough to change the minds of partisans who hate conservatives.
President Bush was accused of lying about WMDs and leading the Country into war under false pretenses and again not even the independent organization fact checker.org and other sources that show the President didn’t lie is enough for partisans who are determined to destroy this President’s credibility.
From the “Dan Rather” media, rival partisans and party traitors on Capital Hill to former politically tainted Presidents and Vice Presidents of the opposing party, President George W. Bush has been unfairly maligned, politically brow beaten, and slandered in overtly callus and hateful attempts to remove any shred of credibility that this President and his party might have with the American people.
Rival partisans have used the politics of personal destruction, invented by Democrats, against President Bush and his party to convince the American people that the eight years of lies from the previous administration was no fluke Democrat political conspirers wanted to convince America that everybody lies even Bush who said that Jesus Christ was his greatest political influence, yes especially George W. Bush and the plan worked!
In fact the plan is working still! Working so well that a young reporter in 2007 can stand up before America and the world and question the President’s veracity because he or she assumes that nothing that this President says can be trusted. After all “Bush lied.” Eleanor Clift, political pundit, like most Liberal Democrats, devotes herself to the premise that the President is a liar. Even Fox News’ credibility has been called into question by Democrats anyone or anything that doesn’t fly the Democrat banner unquestionably is a liar.
It all started with former Vice President Al Gore’s decision to withdraw his concession after losing the 2000 elections to then Governor and President elect George W. Bush opting instead to take America on the most divisive chapters in American politics, counting Chads and interpreting votes Gore set this country on a course of political infighting that we’ve not seen since the blue and gray jackets of the Civil war.
We are a nation divided because of Gore’s decision, we have divided into red states and blue states, on every conceivable issue; Global warming, homosexuality, the war in Iraq, immigration, and stem cell research just to name a few things which divide us. These days the only thing that we have national consensus on is that somebody, maybe everybody, is lying to us regarding all of these subjects.
It seems that we can’t get a truthful answer to anything because of agendas and partisanships. Because of that no one can be trusted, no not Congress, doctors, scientist, lawyers, businesspersons, professionals, media, or politicians whom all might be under some unknown influence of the other side that is working to deceived us all.
Now a Democrat Controlled Congress is waging an all out rebellion against a sitting President on purely partisan grounds. They disagree with the way this President is conducing the war, they disagree with this President’s choices for the federal courts, they disagree with this President’s choices of cabinet members and advisors the only thing that this Congress and President agree on is turning this country over to 20 million plus illegal aliens. (There has to be something wrong with that!) Democrats who used political obstruction and non-cooperation when they were in the minority found that attacking republican credibility was a winning formula for seizing power thus they began to use the politics of person destruction on an unsuspecting America to gain power.
President Bush, John Ashcroft, Mark Foley, Tom Delay, Dennis Hastert, Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, and Donald Rumsfield are only a few that have felt the relentless persecution of Democrat credibility attacks. They all have been labeled lairs by Democrats.
However the irony of it is, we now live in a culture that encourages lying yes even celebrates it. Our best liars, the Clintons and Al Gore, are revered and given demi-God status but at the same time we frown on amateurish liars, liars who we can see the flaws in their stories easily are shunned. (Gore who lost in 2000 partially because of his blatant and habitual lying is now the banner carrier for Global warming, unbelievable!)
Our law schools turn out thousands of bright eyed ethically confused barristers who have been taught that the lawyer who knows how to use the judicial system for desired outcomes of their potential clients are the “smart” and “successful” attorneys. Like Richard Gere’s character Billy Flynn the attorney in the 2002 movie Chicago, create the spin and the whole world dances like marionettes to the spin. These trained definers of alternate legal reality believe that the concepts of truth and justice are for God while winning only is the ultimate goal for any good attorney.In an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Hollywood mogul David Geffen tore into the Clintons' integrity and Hillary's electability. "Everybody in politics lies," said Geffen, "but [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it's troubling." Geffen raised the most eyebrows when he referred to the former president as "a reckless guy" who "gave his enemies a lot of ammunition to hurt him and distract the country." Geffen was not just speaking in the past tense. "I don't think anybody believes that in the last six years, all of a sudden Bill Clinton has become a different person," Geffen told Dowd .-- Evan Thomas, Newsweek
Clients are told not to speak in order to preserve their legal right against self incrimination while they, the best legal minds in the world, work to manipulate an overtaxed, over politicized legal system. This has become a system that hands down rulings which have no basis in reality. One where rulings are tethered to some alternate legal reality where common sense and justice are suspended in order to grant some politically correct elite, legal standing on a purely outrageous nonsensical legal claim.
In spite of what the popular culture is promoting not everyone is a liar. It is possible to have told a lie and yet the habitual practice of lying may not be in one’s nature. And just as there is that 40 year old virgin there is that person that finds lying offense and makes it his or her practice to tell the truth. Yes, there are the trained liars ones who are told that there is no right or wrong there is only a fluid and transitory state of definition, one might refer to this as relativism, a glass is either half empty or half full, the “that depends on what is, is” purely a matter of perspective.
So why do we spend so much of our time calling one another liars if there is no truth? If there is no universal reality, no ultimate standard then there is no lie. If there is no lie everything is true. Ergo Bush told the truth as he saw it!
But it is not that simple when your ultimate goal is to create Orwellian Worldview by Machiavellianism, that is when you intend to change the world by redefining truth and you intend to get people to buy into that redefinition.
When they do and before people realize exactly what is happening to them, you make your redefined reality into law, that’s what this immigration bill is about, force redefinition and alternative reality on the people, and in order to make redefination work you most destroy the old way, destroy the old conservative ideas.
You must discredit those ideas, those people, and those institutions. This is the reason why the President’s credibility is being attacked in such a vicious way; this is why conservatives are being attacked throughout our culture. Conservatives are in the way of this change, this quickening, and this redefinition of reality.
Life will be redefined, marriage will be redefined, America’s borders will be redefined, the middle class will be redefined out of existence and America will be redefined. Some might think this is evolution and that change is good. But what if it is actually the liars who are the purveyors of this change what if their reasons for this change are dishonorable and ignoble and by their redefinition we are less free. What if we lied on Bush? Did you every think of that? What if WE lied on Bush?
Then all who lied on President Bush are the ones with no credibility. So the reporter’s question to the President is turned back on us, if we lied on Bush, the question is how can all of the Global warming, stem cell research, homosexual agenda, and anti-war meme be trusted? As Congress comes back after its Memorial day vacation to pick up right were it left off attempting to hammer away at the President’s credibility, his Attorney General and the War in Iraq we should all take note…
Credibility works both ways or the lack of it!
NOTE: A consortium of news organizations sponsoring the NORC Florida ballot project is made up of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post Co., Tribune Publishing, CNN, Associated Press, St. Petersburg Times and The Palm Beach Post. The New York Times owns The Boston Globe, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, and the Lakeland Ledger among others. Washington Post Co. owns The Washington Post and Newsweek. Tribune, based in Chicago, owns the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Orlando Sentinel, and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, among others.
The consortium joined together to retain NORC, because they wanted a comprehensive in-depth inventory of all uncounted votes in Florida’s November 2000 Presidential race that would be immune from charges of political bias or methodological weakness. Consortium members will have access to the raw data for a brief period before public release of the database, from which they will develop their own analyses and stories about what the uncounted ballots reveal. Conclusion: President Bush won Florida in 2000 elections.

Which “Culture of Corruption”?..............
The Democrats, like all of the leftists on message boards such as Slate, can’t hold any debate based solely on facts. Sooner or later, they resort to name-calling and outright lying.
A perfect example of this is the label placed on the Bush administration and Republican Congress, by the loser Democrats. I’d like to take a closer look at that!
No politician is "lilly white" in reputation..... we all realize that everyone has some skeletons in his/her closet. But coming from where the accusations do, it leaves lots to think about, and even more to investigate.
The Democratic website....
(http://www.democrats.org/a/national/honestgovernment/abuse
......makes it a priority to "expose corruption". Take a look! Their "Corruption Files" list; Abuse of Power, Smear Campaigns, Cronies, Coverups/Stonewalling, as just a part of their accusations. Their policy is to accuse, accuse, accuse, and eventually some of the accusations actually stick.
Representative John Doolittle (R-CA) stepped down from his seat on the House Appropriations Committee, under pressure; U.S. Attorneys were fired for any reasons the Dems could trump up; Wolfowitz was shanghied from his job; Scooter Libby was set up; Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) "violated federal election law" and is in big trouble. All kinds of accusations were leveled against Halliburton, and unfounded allegations were made, tying Cheney to Halliburton............. long after he left the company. The list goes on and on, ad infinitum
Now, let’s look at the other side of the coin. Where were these "watchdogs" when all this was going on????
This is the character of the Democrats who are supposed to be representing their constituents.

DNC - The Federal Election Commission imposed $719,000 in fines against participants in the 1996 Democratic Party fundraising scandals involving contributions from China, Korea and other foreign sources. The Federal Election Commission said it decided to drop cases against contributors of more than $3 million in illegal DNC contributions because the respondents left the country or the corporations are defunct.

A perfect example of this is the label placed on the Bush administration and Republican Congress, by the loser Democrats. I’d like to take a closer look at that!
No politician is "lilly white" in reputation..... we all realize that everyone has some skeletons in his/her closet. But coming from where the accusations do, it leaves lots to think about, and even more to investigate.
The Democratic website....
(http://www.democrats.org/a/national/honestgovernment/abuse
......makes it a priority to "expose corruption". Take a look! Their "Corruption Files" list; Abuse of Power, Smear Campaigns, Cronies, Coverups/Stonewalling, as just a part of their accusations. Their policy is to accuse, accuse, accuse, and eventually some of the accusations actually stick.
Representative John Doolittle (R-CA) stepped down from his seat on the House Appropriations Committee, under pressure; U.S. Attorneys were fired for any reasons the Dems could trump up; Wolfowitz was shanghied from his job; Scooter Libby was set up; Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) "violated federal election law" and is in big trouble. All kinds of accusations were leveled against Halliburton, and unfounded allegations were made, tying Cheney to Halliburton............. long after he left the company. The list goes on and on, ad infinitum
Now, let’s look at the other side of the coin. Where were these "watchdogs" when all this was going on????

Liberals Prove, You CAN Go Home Again....
Today, on a whim, I decided to drop in at that
infamous refuge of the misinformed, malicious,
mal-contents.............Slate!
No surprise! It was brisk business as usual at
the trough. The regular hucksters were there,
peddling their poison brew, with the help of
the ready supply of lackeys, eager to indulge
their masters, and gang up on any conservative
who might have the gall to show up there.
Of course, there were no new or genuine issues
being "discussed". Just the usual billboarding
by ignorant people, of......."get out of Iraq",
"Bush started terrorism by invading Iraq","the far
left had nothing to do with our running from
Vietnam", ........and on and on ad nauseum. Just
for change, some second-grade genius will call
out, "idiot", "troll", "neo-con nitwit", or some
other complimentary words of endearment.
I guess the old adage is true......... if you repeat
something long enough, and loud enough, some
idiots will buy it, hook line and sinker.
I have to admit that I was quite pissed when I got
banned from Slate................... until
I realized that Slate did me a very huge favor.
They awakened me to a world of more valuable and
progressive things, such as this blog. Here I can
read intelligent, enlightening posts, and speak
my mind without being shouted down by a bunch of
losers, who couldn’t make it through sixth grade.
For lack of either formal education, awareness of
what is happening in the real world, or simply
stupidity.....their only responses have to include
name-calling, as if that has power to change fact.
So thank you Slate, and all you liberal losers, for
forcing me to wake up and smell the coffee. It sure
is refreshing, after the stench at Slate!

something long enough, and loud enough, some
idiots will buy it, hook line and sinker.
I have to admit that I was quite pissed when I got
banned from Slate................... until
I realized that Slate did me a very huge favor.
They awakened me to a world of more valuable and
progressive things, such as this blog. Here I can
read intelligent, enlightening posts, and speak
my mind without being shouted down by a bunch of
losers, who couldn’t make it through sixth grade.
For lack of either formal education, awareness of
what is happening in the real world, or simply
stupidity.....their only responses have to include
name-calling, as if that has power to change fact.
So thank you Slate, and all you liberal losers, for
forcing me to wake up and smell the coffee. It sure
is refreshing, after the stench at Slate!

Who Said the MSM Isn’t Honest....?
Here’s one that will make even Dan Rather
shrink. A blatant twist of the news, in a futile
attempt to make this do-nothing Democratic
Congress look good. They can try, but only
a dyed-in-the-wool liberal will believe it!!!
AP writer, Anne Flaherty twists the truth with
the best of them. The only problem is that the
more they twist, the more they expose their
true selves and motives.
It was plain from the start that President Bush
would not allow a war funding bill that tied a
withdrawal date from Iraq into it. Now, Ms
Flaherty slants the news to read....."Bush Supports
$120 B Iraq war compromise", as though he
"finally agreed" to something that the Dems want.
Get it straight Ms.Flaherty...........BUSH DIDN’T
COMPROMISE!!! It was the arrogant Democrats,
under the direction of Reid and Pelosi, who
knuckled under. Oh, they didn’t like it, but they
HAD TO, in order to save some portion of "face".
After all their pomposity and verbosity, BUSH WON,
and now they are silently licking their wounds.
Face it!........ they have had their fifteen minutes in the
sun. From here on in, it is all downhill, baby. They
are getting a lot more flack than they figured, on the
"new" immigration bill.........which is nothing more
than the old one, wrapped in a taco.
Wake up you liberal Democrats. After the news about
the war budget, immigration, and the ass-whipping that
the "poster girl for socialism" is getting..... you better
give serious consideration to switching to the
Republican party. Hillary is out for ‘08, Obama is far
from a shoe-in, and Edwards.................... well, all
he will get is the sympathy vote because of his wife’s
illness.......... sorry to say.

Same 'Ole, Same 'Ole............
More of what the Democrats do so well.... pure
BS. When facts don’t work out the way you
want, ..........spin, spin, spin. Eventually, enough
liberal puppets might believe you, and you hang
in there for another day.
This is a classic! Associated Press writes:
"Memo Urges Sen.Clinton to Bypass Iowa"!
Wow, that is news. Seems that a short time ago,
Hillary was very anxious to get to Iowa. She was
confident, arrogant, and itching to lay out her
leftist agenda for an admiring audience.
Now, her deputy campaign manager is urging her
to bypass the state’s primary, because SHE IS
TRAILING NOT JUST OBAMA, BUT JOHN
EDWARDS AS WELL! That is laughable. I
see moderate and conservative Republicans rolling
in the aisles over this one. THIS is the lady who
just a few months ago, was most likely going to be
the Democratic candidate for president, and was
definitely going to take the White House.
If she ever pulls this out of her hat, and makes it
as the official Democratic Candidate, the Republicans
could put up Daffy Duck, and he would win!
Just my conservative opinion, Slate..............

Who outed the CIA?
Brian Ross
Shades of Valerie Plame, Guatanamo and Abu Ghriab somebody’s telling all the secrets and putting lives in jeopardy and it ain’t Karl Rove or Dick Cheney either! Is Mitt Romney the only sane one among us? Romney's the only Presidential candidate who's taken offense at this atrocity.
ABC that defender of the people’s right to know on "World News" Tuesday with Brian Ross lead with the story that reported that President Bush had directed the CIA to carry out secret operations against Iran both inside and outside that country.
Now wait just a loose lips sink ships minute, just how does ABC think that the agency that is in charge of COVERT foreign operations for America, how can the CIA conduct it’s business with Brian Ross following around undercover agents with a camera and mic asking inane questions like, “Do you really think it wise to put a tail on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?”
Seriously the story here is who are the current and former officials in the intelligence community leaking National Security secrets? Does shut up mean anything to anyone in government today? One has to wonder are these overly talkative intelligence community officials the reason that we can’t catch Osama bin Laden? I can image it, “Hey OBL President Bush is sending agents your way, run!”
And how are the American people to trust an intelligence community that makes it its primary objective to expose all secrets of a sitting President because of partisan politics?
The lack of outrage by Americans seems to indicate that Americans need to be educated concerning the relationship between intelligence operations and the prevention of attacks against this country. If you are an American you should be outraged!
This sad chapter in American intelligence goes to shows that everything is politically partisan in America today, even government secrets. And if a political party or President is unpopular Democrats have shown that rival partisans will do anything to destroy their rival. This is the truest meaning of cutting off ones nose to spite your face because if, as in this case, President Bush’s policy is responded to negatively by Iran America suffers not just the President or the Bush administration.
Everyone knows about the investigation of the attorney general and his role in the firings of U.S. attorneys. Gonzales, of course, has vowed to stay on despite calls by a few Republicans for him to resign.
But Democrats have three other scalps to claim from that probe and three from others rarely mentioned. -- Josephine Hearn and Jim VandeHei, The Politico
Congress must stop all of the Republican scalp hunting immediately and do the right thing. Congress must use the time it’s dedicating to persecuting rival Republicans and find out who in the intelligence community is sabotaging America intelligence efforts and Congress must bring those responsible, for these gross unpatriotic actions, to justice.
Just when did treachery become fashionable in the United States of America and just when did current and former intelligence officials begin to feel that they have the right to leak "Presidential findings" to the news media?
"Presidential findings" are kept secret but reported to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other key congressional leaders.
Let’s be clear, those who leaked these findings are responsible for any Iranian retaliation or escalation, not anything that the President was attempting to do to keep Americans safe from an Anti-American and Anti-Semitic mad man and his country which is supporting terrorism as well as the destabilization of Iraq and American efforts there.
Leaking and reporting that this covert action is now being escalated by the new U.S. directive, can very quickly lead to Iranian retaliation and a cycle of escalation can follow," according to Vali Nasr, adjunct senior fellow for Mideast studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
This treasonous act is a bigger scandal than Valerie Plame, Guatanamo and Abu Ghriab combined but will the Justice Department and Congress use their powers to stop, once and for all, leakers from divulging secret government Intel?
It’s in the Country’s interest to bring these traitors up on charges, and whether you are Democrat or Republican you should be emailing,calling or writing your Representatives about it now!

China's Trade Warning to the U.S.!
In light of China’s "blunt trade warning" to the
United States, threatening "difficulties" and
refusing to be "coerced" into a fair agreement,
it’s time that we took the gloves off and hit
China where it hurts most.
It’s bad enough that they have an
undervalued currency, which they refuse to
allow to float on the free market, because it
gives them the unfair advantage of making
their products artificially cheap. Of course,
the fact that most of their labor is performed
by drones, who work for a bowl of rice and
a cot, also contributes to their low cost.
They pirate our copyrights and patents with
impunity, and cost American businesses
untold millions and force many to close their
doors because of the unfair competition.......
firing employees who have been with them
for years.
Oh, once in a great while, the chinese
police "raid" a factory that is producing
American DVDs and CDs, without paying
royalties to the originators.............but that
is strictly for show, in order to downplay
American claims of a soft policy toward
piracy. For every "raid" there are dozens of
factories that go right on producing.
Whether the American people believe it or
not, we hold a very powerful hand in this
seemingly lopsided debacle. If every
American would, even for a short time, NOT
PURCHASE anything that was manufactured
in China, their economy would come to a
much deserved screeching halt. That would
also signal the many discount stores that they
will be stuck with unsold merchandise if they
continue to import from China. It would also
give American firms the time and incentive to
create start-up companies from the ashes that
once were our major plants, bringing back the
thousands of jobs that were lost to the
Chinese slave-labor market.
But the ultimate challenge still hovers above
us, like a dark storm cloud. Do the American
people, who have gotten used to such low-ball
prices on most item, have the will to sacrifice
just a bit, for the benefit of the country and
our future? They complain that the
high-paying jobs have been lost, but they
continue purchasing items that cost next to
nothing to produce in China. We can’t have it
both ways. With our high salaries, and high
standard of living, comes the higher cost of
items that we all purchase. It’s now time to
choose to buy American...... Tomorrow might
be too late.
We were once the "envy of the world", but if
we don’t control our buying and spending
habits, and put the country first, we will be
reduced to a second-rate power ................
by our own dollars.

Who’s Congress’ Daddy?
Like kids in a candy shop Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took the reigns of power in Congress 4 months ago and began to issue declarations and ultimatums, “A new Congress in town!” And then they blew the smoke from their legislative six shooters that were raised in the air in celebration.President Bush and the Leaders of Congress
Oh boy this was going to be fun, I’m sure they thought, it was like having an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! The very Daisy Red Rider BB gun that Ralphie, in the movie The Christmas story, used to get that mean old Black Bart. And we all know who Pelosi and Reid is a thinkin’ Black Bart is!
“Don’t worry America we a ain’t gonna let Black Bart fight the war in Iraq why wees a gonna load up a war funding bill so full of peanut substutities and other stuff like timelines and withdrawal dates that ol’ Black Bart is a gonna bring them troops a running home like the injins’ was a gonna get ‘em.”
Fortunately after the delusion subsides an adult can bring us all back to reality. In fact that is why the founders, though the constitution, in their wisdom give the President of the United States the veto pen. The veto pen and a looming Memorial Day vacation brought the Democrats back to reality. In spite of all their kiddish games this Congress WILL fund the War.
Now that the Democrat kids have resigned themselves to the fact that the President is not going to give in to their fall down in the store in front of the toy section, cut and run, tantrum they must gather themselves up to work with the President on governing this Nation like it’s suppose to be instead of always trying to show him up like all little disrespectful children do of adults.
"Democrats have finally conceded defeat in their effort to include mandatory surrender dates in a funding bill for the troops, so forward progress has been made for the first time in this four-month process."—Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House GOP leader
But not to be completely out done those silly kids just are going to have something their way like $8 billion for Democratic “toys” tucked away in this emergency war funding bill.
And they’re not finished playing around either Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee outlined an unusual procedure in which Democrats will make lawmakers in the House cast two votes, one on the war-related provisions, and a second on all other items. That would allow liberal Democrats to oppose the war funds, confident that Republicans would supply the support needed for it to prevail.
The opposite would be true for the domestic spending, which draws more support from Democrats than Republicans. Just a little game so that Democrat Congresspersons who answer to anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-reality left wing Liberals constituents can say in theory that they did not vote to fund the war. The bill would then go to the Senate, where senators would have to vote yes-or-no on the entire package.
Congress projects that the bill should be on the President’s desk Friday just in time for Congressional vacation; well they can’t go on recess without funding our boys now could they?
Seem to me America is right about this Congress and that is why 64% of us don’t approve of the way Congress is doing it's job.
This rebellious obnoxious divisive tantrum throwing Congress needs a daddy, someone who will put them over the knee in 2008 and 2010 and spank them at the polls you bad, bad Congress! And guess what Congress we the American people are your daddy!

On Immigration the French Get It!
Nicolas Sarkozy, President of French
Massive legalization doesn’t work! Take it from a country at has tried it and knows. But again America is behind the times and is not current. Riots in the streets of France and Balkanized ghetto neighborhoods where languages other than French is spoken are tearing at the National Identity of France. And France wants it stopped.
France gets it!
America is falling headfirst or shall I say being pushed head first into immigration policies that Big Business and Congress want imposed on the American people.
The American government’s primary purpose is to protect the American people, however, from the President to Congress this government has caved-in to a perfect storm of Big Business, Special Interest groups and Foreign Government influences.
The intention is to remake America. Call it progress or call it evolution but there are those who believe that America has out grown its constitution they believe America has out grown its geological boundaries no more America, but let’s make a North American Continent with Canada, Mexico and the United States and we’ll make it with no borders.
No more Supreme Court either we’ll have a system that will adjudicate trinational matters a system that would supercede the colloquial system of sovereign national government and law.
In a world where things are rarely what they seem it wouldn’t be to surprising to discover that Congresspersons and spokespersons who speak about immigrant rights, fairness and coming out of the shadows into the sunlight of America are only front people for profiteers and global conglomerates who want to buy the mom and pop store of America and replace it with a trinational continental Wal-Mart where labor is cheap and profits are usuriously elevated.
See you get to be called a racist as you have your country stolen right from under you. Now you know how a rape victim feels when they are told that they where asking for it.
That’s right America you were asking for this! Imagine that you don’t get it but the French do!

Slate's Agenda
What could possibly be more comedic than a bunch
of crowing liberals? I’ll tell you! A bunch of
cowering liberals, afraid that some unnamed, virtually
unknown conservative might put them in their place
...... with FACTS.......... something that they seem
completely helpless against!
I posted to Slate for years, under my assumed name,
and took heat from the best that the cowards could
muster, usually four and five at a time. Still, I
managed to stand my ground, when Slate was run
by men with integrety. For the past year or so, I saw
many a good pal banned from the site for speaking
his or her mind, for the sole reason that it didn’t
conform to the leftist regime’s "approved" agenda
of blindly accepting any liberal thought, and instantly
destroying any conservative one.
Recently, I posted some simple common sense
opinion, which was just too much for the leftists
to handle, and so I was shouted down by a bunch
of over-inflated, self-important, bullies, who
refused to have any dissent whatsoever on "their
" Slate. One puppet responded to ANY post that I
made with the words, "ban the troll"............ since
his limited capacity and total lack of facts left him
with nothing to fight with. Not an unusual thing for
a liberal to begin with........... to a liberal Slate poster,
it is commonplace..
Eventually, he garnered the support of several more
drones, who called for my banning, and lo and
behold, the next time I visited Slate,, all my previous
posts had disappeared, and I got the message that my
new post had not been accepted for publication. Slate
offered only the explanation that if I wanted to
question WHY it wasn’t posted, or why I had been
banned, I should email "this" address. Needless to say
that there is no way on this earth, that ANY post makes
it to a non-existent addy.
Of course I never got the opportunity to challenge the
editors of Slate to produce even one shred of evidence
as to the inappropriateness of any of my posts............
..... except maybe for the fact that they are totally
incapable of responding to a single one.
Well Slate...........you can continue on your puppet
training run by killing dissent and purging any posts
that oppose your opinion. That does not make you a
winner by any standard, nor does it make a site that
encourages discourse and discussion. In your infinite
"wisdom" you may blow your own horn, claim
fairness, and practice prejudice, but when all is said
and done, it merely shows that your thinking and your
typing postures are identical.

The No Confidence Congress
(L-R) US Senators Mel Martinez, Lindsey Graham and Ted Kennedy (AFP/Chip Somodevilla)
It's like a punchline in a bad joke. Whose approval ratings are lower than President Bush’s? Why Congress’ are!
Congress’ approval ratings are at a low, low 29% now that’s a vote of no confidence from the American people.
It spite of recent polls showing America's no confidence in this Congress, this group of Bush hating political opportunists are set to stage a vote of no confidence in the Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Having no evidence of wrong doing against Mr. Gonzales this Democratic controlled Congress has resorted to attempting to shame the attorney general from office. Gonzales should not step down. To bad that Democrats have no shame.
Senator Feinstein would be shamed for the “Milcon” Iraq war profiteering Scandal, Speaker Pelosi would be shamed for the recent San Francisco $15 billion Water Resources Development Act scandal, Rep. John Murtha would be shamed for the Abscam scandal and his recent House ethics rules scandal and Senator Harry Reid would be shamed for $30,500 Jack Abramhoff related moneys, his land deals and his recent the “war is lost” pronouncement while our troops are in harms way scandals.
But, irony of ironies a Congress the American people has no confidence in is going to vote that they have no confidence in AG Alberto Gonzales.
Why that’s like former Clinton National Advisor Sandy Berger announcing that he has no confidence in our National Archives’ security. (Now that’s funny!)
What’s next the Congress deciding that they have no confidence in President Bush? Oh that’s right they’ve already done that. Or that they have no confidence in our soldiers at war in Iraq? I’m pretty sure that failure to fund them while they’re in the field of battle is as close to a vote of no confidence as you can give them Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid!
This is political buffoonery of the highest sorts; Democrats are in no position to be voting no confidence in anyone. 64% of American’s don’t approve of Congress' job performance. If Democrats wish to vote for something let them vote for equipping and supplying funding for our soldiers and send a war funding bill to the President before Congress goes on vacation for Memorial Day recess so that our troops will not be fighting unfunded in Iraq.
Senators I hate to break it to you but there is a reason that used car salesmen enjoy more popularity than the U.S. Congress right now and though you Democrats have worked so hard to drag the President’s popularity down even he is polling higher than Congress.
So go ahead and have your little meaningless vote just know that this Congress is no longer trusted by the American people. That’s right; America has no confidence in you Congress!
It must feel good to know that those of you who tried have accomplished your goal of destroying the people’s faith in their government and look it only took you eight years in which to do it!
Congress you’all must be so proud!

Bush and Congress Commit Identity Thief
Today Americans are plagued by the phenomenon of criminals who steal their names, numbers and personal information to gain access to their money and personal accounts, identity thief but no criminal has been able to steal what President Bush and certain members of Congress have just agreed to steal, they have agreed to steal the identity of a nation,the American National Identity.
The President and Congress have agreed to grant 12 to 20 million Mexican Nationals all of the rights and privileges of natural born Americans. These Mexican Citizens will be able to work; vote and change the social-political landscape of America and for that President Bush, certain key Republicans and a Democratic controlled Congress are patting themselves on the back like they’ve done a good thing. The President says that this legislation will treat people with respect however it fails to treat 301.1million already American citizens and their ancestors with any respect.
What this legislation is bound to do Mr. President and you few Republican Congressmen who brokered this deal is to ensure that Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States. Republicans will not support this latest blatant disregard for the rule of law in America no matter how many bows you put on this bad legislation.
301.1 Million Americans will have the most sacred trust stolen from them if the President and his co-conspirators have their way. And what is that trust, it is protection from foreign invasion. For two years Mexican foreign invaders and their enablers marched in the streets of America while waving Mexican flags and demanded rights that the constitution only guarantees to citizens of these United States. For years foreign nationals have been breaking American laws while increasing their numbers and stealing the sacred trust that Americans gave their lives for. Americans died for America and Americans.
President Bush has enabled this lawlessness encouraging illegality by offering what he calls Comprehensive Immigration Reform and suggesting that the current laws are broken.
However the current laws are NOT broken as the President would have Americans to believe what is broken in the political will of politicians like the President and the few weak kneed Republicans and their Democrat cohorts who for reasons that will soon be revealed have disrespected over 301.1 Million Americans by making being an American something that you can steal and then pay for on the installment plan.
For a country that is supposed to be nation of laws we have become a nation that changes its laws at the whim of elected representatives who no longer represent the interest of the citizens of the United States of America. This whole ugly breaking of American immigration laws, stealing of American’s identity by selling American citizenships to Mexican nationals is repugnant. These Mexican citizens have no allegiance to the flag, the institutions of this country or this country’s customs, they are here to take from America, they take her resources and send those resources back to a corrupt broken country which will never be corrected because no effort is directed to change what is broken in Mexico all political efforts are focused on changing what is NOT broken in America.
If the President is successful his comprehensive immigration reform act or (CIRA) will fix what is not broken in America and as a result of CIRA America will be as broken as Mexico is now. Here‘s why:
The proposed agreement would allow illegal immigrants to come forward and obtain a "Z visa" and - after paying fees and a $5,000 fine - ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take between eight and 13 years. Heads of households would have to return to their home countries first.
They could come forward right away to claim a probationary card that would let them live and work legally in the U.S., but could not begin the path to permanent residency or citizenship until border security improvements and the high-tech worker identification program were completed.
A new crop of low-skilled guest workers would have to return home after stints of two years. They could renew their visas twice, but would be required to leave for a year in between each time. If they wanted to stay in the U.S. permanently, they would have to apply under the point system for a limited pool of green cards.—JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, WASHINGTON (AP)
However CIRA as now written provides for three categories of status for Mexican Nationals.
1. Temporary Status: Persons in this category enter the U.S. temporarily and are required to leave after a period of time.
2. Near-Permanent, Convertible Status: Persons in this category enter the U.S. and are given the opportunity to “adjust” or convert to legal permanent residence after a few years.
3. Legal Permanent Residence (LPR): Persons in this category have the right to remain in the United States for their entire lives. After five years, they have the right to naturalize and become citizens. As naturalized citizens, they have the constitutional rights to vote and to receive any government benefits given to native-born citizens.
CIRA and existing immigration law is that immigrants in convertible or LPR status have the right to bring spouses and minor children into the country. Spouses and dependent children will be granted permanent residence along with the primary immigrant and may also become citizens. In addition, after naturalizing, an immigrant has the right to bring his parents into the U.S. as permanent residents with the opportunity for citizenship. There are no numeric limits on the number of spouses, dependent children, and parents of naturalized citizens that may be brought into the country. Additionally, the siblings and adult children (along with their families) of naturalized citizens and the adult children (and their families) of legal permanent residents are given preference in future admission.
What the numbers really represent is that 12 to 20 million Mexican Citizens can eventually metastasize into 100million to 300million Mexican citizens who have the same rights to vote as Americans but who have completely different loyalties and purposes.
These people will have no sense of the heritage of this country and no reason to keep and protect it. The strongest argument for that claim is that they have not kept or protected their own country so why would they protect America?
The truth is Americans who will not do as much to protect their country as Mexican Nationals will do to take America will lose this country through complacency.
20million Mexican Nationals, the President, Congress and others are conspiring to devalue your rights and your citizenship. Mexican Nationals are already voting in this country. If you won’t march in the streets, like the brazen lawbreakers of Mexico, then maybe you will email the Republican Congressmen who are responsible for selling your American rights to foreign nationals. Take time to do it now!

Tell these Senators that you will not vote for them if Mexican Citizens are granted amnesty for breaking America’s immigration laws and you will not vote for them if they make it possible for 20million to became 300 million Mexican Nationals who to be granted rights that have hereto been the birthright of Americans citizens. These Senators need to know that most American believe that Comprehensive Immigration Reform is amnesty no matter how it is phrased.
Tell your Senators that they are committing identity thief by take your American rights and privileges and giving those rights to undeserving Mexican citizens who have broken our laws. It is identity thief of America’s National Identity and identity thief is punishable by law and voting Congressmen out of office!
