Long Overdue!

At last............... a Senator with spine. Very
refreshing, Senator Lieberman. I can now
understand why you severed relations with
the Democratic party, and became an Independent.

The Associated Press reports that "Sen. Joseph
Lieberman said Sunday the United States should
consider a military strike against Iran because
of Tehran’s involvement in Iraq".

This is important on several counts...... because
we’ve all known for some time that it was long
overdue. Secondly.......... it is striking that the
AP didn’t attack Lieberman over this advice,
when if President Bush had mentioned it, they
would have been ready to eviscerate him.
Thirdly, it is miraculous that the AP didn’t tilt
this interview 60* to the left, as they do with
most other news of which they disapprove.

Lieberman stated............
"I think we've got to be prepared to take
aggressive military action against the Iranians
to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,"
Lieberman said. "And to me, that would
include a strike over the border into Iran,
where we have good evidence that they
have a base at which they are training these
people coming back into Iraq to kill our
soldiers."

Lo and behold......... there is at least one
Senator with the brains to look beyond the
liberal clap-trap and see the world as it is.
Tehran will not be happy until it possesses the
nuclear arms that we prevented Saddam
from obtaining. They waged war against each
other in order to lay the foundation for the
"winner to take all" policy. That included
all of the surrounding region, and it’s strategic
importance to the rest of the world.

What part of the problem doesn’t Congress
understand? Can they possibly be that blind,
just intent on being voted into office, or has the
MSM indoctrinated them into the fold also?

Lieberman went on to say, "We've said so
publicly that the Iranians have a base in Iran at
which they are training Iraqis who are coming
in and killing Americans. By some estimates,
they have killed as many as 200 American
soldiers," Lieberman said. "Well, we can tell
them we want them to stop that. But if there's
any hope of the Iranians living according to
the international rule of law and stopping,
for instance, their nuclear weapons development,
we can't just talk to them."

"They can't believe that they have immunity
for training and equipping people to come
in and kill Americans," he said. "We cannot
let them get away with it. If we do, they'll take
that as a sign of weakness on our part and we
will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region
and ultimately right here at home."

These words seem vaguely familiar,........... as
when President Bush made similar statements
about Iraq, and their involvement in 9/11. Swine
such as these, do not leave written records or trails
to be followed back to them. They "help out"
by giving sanctuary to sought terrorists, providing
funds and weapons, and establishing camps and
bases on their soil, in order to train "insurgents"
to be smuggled into other countries.

Senator Lieberman made his statements on
"Face the Nation" on CBS.

Immigration Deal on Verge of Collapse??

Of course, stupid! It was a totally unpassable
bill from the start. I had commented once
before, that it wasn’t a "new" compromise
proposal, but the same old one, wrapped in a
taco.

Financial Times editorialist, Alex Barker, tries
vainly in his article, to distort the true outcome of
the bill. He makes it seem as though there had
been broad support right along...... and then pow!,
it "appeared on the verge of collapse on Friday
after disgruntled members of both parties joined
forces to block the bill".

Bull-dinky!....... it was dead before negotiations
started. How any Senator, Democrat or Republican
could vote for such a piece of trash, amazes me.
President Bush......... the man that I supported not
once, but twice, should be ashamed for trying to
force this "plan" down the American people’s
throats.

Barker refers to the bill as an attempt to "overhaul
the troubled immigration system", Hey Alex!!!,
How do you fix a system by compounding the
problem? I bet you know. You allow another
twenty million "quasi-legal" immigrants into the
country, by giving amnesty to the twelve million that
are already here. Those twenty million will be the
extended families of those who broke our laws and
got away with just a slap on the wrist...... while the
tax-payers of the US pick up the tab.

Our country will have a financial collapse of
major proportions, if this bill ever becomes the
law of the land. Where will the funds come from,
for the thousand additional schools that will be
needed, the necessary hospitals and medical care,
and the funds for public housing?

Instead of spending the billions necessary to complete
the above, let’s use just a portion of that money to
strengthen our borders - building the entire wall
if necessary - add two thousand more border patrol
agents, and enforce photo ID for ALL workers in
the country.

Barker goes on to write, "It highlights how easily the
divided political culture can undermine attempts to
tackle big domestic issues, such as social security
and healthcare".

And then, he makes the totally ridiculous
claim,"While the proposal has sparked fierce
debate, polls suggest the public broadly
supported the reforms"

Another blatant attempt by the liberal Financial
Times, to skewer the editorial, to a promotional
release for the pro-amnesty group. Shame on you,
Alex. You know, as well as I do, that the public
does NOT support this bill. They never have,
they don’t now, and they never will.

So let Ted Kennedy come "roaring back" and try
to "snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat". If
he isn’t careful, the jaws may snatch him. People
have already had enough of Kennedy, Pelosi and
Reid.

The Democrats want this bill desperately. They
pretend that they are trying to work "with" Bush,
but their motives are strictly one sided. You gather
about twelve million ignorant illegals, you tell them
how the Democratic Party is the party that gave them
their citizenship, you indoctrinate them into the fold,
and you tell them how to vote. That is the Dem plan
to keep themselves in power. By the time that
"extended family" process begins, our liberal friends
will be able to count on another twenty or so
million votes............ plus the votes of the citizen
Hispanics and their sympathizers. That should keep
the Democrats in power for the next sixty years.

Alex,........... the bill needs a lot more than "further
improvement". It needs to be totally rewritten in
a manner in keeping with our national heritage.

No amnesty. No slap-on-the-wrist justice. No "path
to citizenship"... Go home and apply through legal
channels. We are still the melting pot of the world,
but refuse to be inundated by non-English speaking
"invaders" under the guise of "foreign workers".
