Sorry Felipe-no amnesty for you.

Mexico President: Senate Made Grave Error

MEXICO CITY(AP)— The U.S. Senate made a grave error by failing to pass
legislation that would have led to the legalization of millions of
unlawful immigrants, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said Thursday.

The U.S. “economy could not prosper and advance without the labor of
Mexican and Central American immigrants,” he told a news conference
held with visiting Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

Well gosh I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens if the government actually enforces our laws and secures the border.

Whew!!!

WASHINGTON - "The Senate drove a stake Thursday through President Bush's plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing
major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections."

"It was a victory for Republican conservatives who strongly criticized
the bill's provisions that would have established pathways to lawful
status for many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. They
were aided by talk radio and TV hosts who repeatedly attacked the bill
and urged listeners to flood Congress with calls, faxes and e-mails."

Let's not forget the numerous blogs and websites that have actually led the charge in this issue. The internet was way ahead of talk radio and the TV hosts with the exception of Lou Dobbs.

"From the beginning, the bill's most forceful opponents were southern
Republicans. GOP Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana, Jim DeMint of South
Carolina and Jeff Sessions of Alabama led the charge, often backed by
Texan John Cornyn."
"Also crucial to the bill's demise was opposition from three Democrats
recently elected from GOP-leaning states: Jon Tester of Montana, Claire
McCaskill of Missouri and Jim Webb of Virginia."
Thank you courageous Senators for listening to the voice of the American people and standing up to tremendous forces of the illegal immigration lobby.

Is Fred Thompson what Republicans are Looking For?

Casting himself in the role of Washington outsider, Fred Thompson has a long history as a political insider who earned more than $1 million lobbying the federal government.

Using his access to members of Congress and the White House staff for over 20 years, Thompson lobbied for savings and loan deregulation that hastened the collapse and bail out. He also lobbied for a nuclear energy project that cost the taxpayers more than a billion dollars.

"More recently, while Frist led the Senate, Thompson earned more than $750,000 lobbying for a British reinsurance company that wanted to limit its liability from asbestos lawsuits."

When Howard Baker became the Senate majority leader in 1981, lobbying provided Thompson with about 80 percent of his total income.

Is it getting cold in here?

Forget Global Warming, I think Hell just froze over. Cindy Sheehan and I agree on something.

Cindy Sheehan Quits Anti-War Campaign.
In a letter posted on a liberal website Monday, Sheehan complained about the smears and hatred directed at her by liberals since she renounced her ties to the Democratic Party.
Sheehan also noted that while conservatives "slandered and libeled" her as a "tool of the Democratic Party," liberals did the same thing -- "when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I help the Republican Party."
Sheehan also criticized the "peace movement," which she said "often puts personal egos above peace and human life.
"I am going to take whatever I have left and go home," Sheehan wrote on Monday.
I hope Ms. Sheehan can get her life back in order. I am sorry for her loss and for all those who have been killed or maimed in this what seems to be eternal chaos. But I'm glad she finally realized that both sides of this struggle are corrupt and we can carry on without them.

Surrender Monkeys

When I think of San Francisco I think of anything goes. Well, not if you're a couple of politically incorrect chimpanzees masquerading as "surrender monkeys". San Francisco home of non-stop protests draws the line at primates with the wrong message. San Francisco's health code (who knew they had one) prohibits anyone from possessing or having under their control without a permit a "wild and potentially dangerous animal. That includes "the chimpanzee, the baboon, the orangutan, the gibbon and the gorilla."

Wayne Pacelle, president of the Human Society of the United States, decried t he use of live primates in a protest.
"It's a shame that Move America Forward is exploiting animals to score political points," Pacelle said. "Bringing chimpanzees into a crowded situation is potentially dangerous for the animals as well as the public. It also shows this group's disregard for the law, since it's generally illegal to have chimpanzees in San Francisco."

No mention of the legality of chimpanzees masquerading as City officials.
The chimps, April and Jake were in town as part of a protest organized by Move America Forward, a group that opposes Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's support on measures that they claim undermine the mission of our troops in Iraq. When confronted with the rule by one of San Francisco's finest, the chimps were carefully returned to their home on Steve Martin's Working Wildlife home, San Fran. was once again safe from this incredible threat.

F*** John McCain

Senator "Amnesty" McCain should keep on running-for the border. While Mr. McCain can't seem to find time to do his elected job, he has now missed 43 Senate votes, he can somehow find time to lobby for his favorite cause, amnesty for 20-30 million illegals. And lobby he did.
Objecting to Senator John Cornyn's concerns about the effects the McCain-Kennedy bill will have on American citizens, McCain basically labeled these genuine concerns as "chicken shit". Evidently concerned that Sen. Cornyn doesn't fully grasp his knowledge on the immigration situation he then told Sen. Cornyn "Fuck you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," And he should know more about this mess than most because he has done more to give away this country than almost anyone in government.
So mister McCain perhaps you have "Stockholm syndrome" or some other mental illness but please admit your illness and get help or resign.

Why I can't vote for Rudy.

From Jerome Corsi-World Net Daily.

"Questions are being raised over Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's policy on terrorism, after a report revealed he has strong ties to two foreign investment consortia working to own or lease U.S. toll roads, including the Trans-Texas Corridor 35, which is identified as part of the I-35 "NAFTA Superhighway."
"Giuliani's Houston-based law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, is identified by the Texas Department of Transportation as the sole law firm representing Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., the Spanish investment consortium that has joined with Zachry Construction Company in San Antonio on the TTC project."
"Just this month, independent journalist Diane Grassi first broke the story of Giuliani's involvement with the NAFTA Superhighway, writing that, "All negotiations for Cintra were and are presently handled by the law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, LLP, of which Republican Presidential candidate, Rudolph Giuliani, has been a senior executive partner since March 2005. His law firm is the exclusive legal counsel for Cintra."

Rudy is just one more North American Union organizer willing to sell out this country for his own gain. Mark him off my list of possible candidates.

What North American Union?

It's not unusual to hear the mention of the Amero as being the unifying unit of currency of the "not being implemented" North American Union. What is unusual is that it was proposed as far back as 1999.
From the Fraser Institute (a Canadian Think Tank);
"The plan for a North American Monetary Union presented in this study is designed to include Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Under the proposed plan, bank notes and coins of the currency (tentatively called the "amero" ) will have "amero" symbols on one side and national emblems on the other to preserve important symbols of national identity."
Isn't that warm and fuzzy letting us keep our "symbols of national identity".

"When the United States joined other international organizations like the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and the North American Free Trade Agreement, the expected economic and political gains appeared to offset the surrender of some national sovereignty."
Gosh just surrender a little bit of your sovereinty and we'll set up a North American Union Bank and to siphon off a little more of your hard earned money and tell you how to spend what's left. But remember, there is no North American Union in the works.

Our Legal System Is Officially Nuts

How do you know that your legal system is nuts? Well first you have two border guards given 10-12 years in prison for doing their job and defending our country against a lying drug smuggler. Now you have a D.C. judge, Roy Pearson, suing the owners of a dry cleaning shop for losing his pants.
When they originally couldn't find the pants the judge demanded a thousand dollars. The owners refused to pay and found the pants a week later and tried to return them to the judge but by then he was so upset that he sued them for $65 million dollars. Can you spell extortion?

Is the North American Union behind schedule?

Originally the union of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico was to be in 2010, now the Mexico's U. N. representative has stated that it must be done in 8 years, before the U.S. baby boomers retirement wave hits full force. They contend that illegal immigration is actually good for the U.S. economy and do not drain U.S. social services.
Isn't it comforting to know that all these life changing plans are being conducted behind our backs? Why should the American people and the Congress be bothered by all this trivia?

From the "Stop Global Warming" Tour

I think the Sheryl Crow-Laurie David brain trust just might be breathing too many bio-diesel fumes. Traveling around the country on their "Stop the Global Warming Tour" Ms. Crow has come up with a couple of ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
Number one is a "limitation be put on how many sqares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting." "I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."
Number two: "I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the heighth of wastefullness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve". The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product.. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold."
I can't even come up with the words to describe my reaction to this silliness except maybe Yuck.

Illegal Immigration Rally in Eugene 4/21/07

Well, there weren't too many people that turned out for todays Illegal immigration rally-maybe 25 or so. We did have the honor of having Jim Gilchrist the president of the Minuteman Project as guest speaker along with Rick Hickey from Oregonians for Immigration Reform, Richard Sturm from KPNW radio, and Hans Zeiger, a student activist from Hillsdale College in Michigan. Hans is a great example of the younger generation that we need to carry this ball in the future.
It's depressing that we don't have more visible support from the Americans in the construction and service industries that are being displaced by illegal immigration but maybe they will eventually wake up and see the threat just as the Teamsters are finally doing. I hope we have a bigger turnout in Salem on April 23rd, 24th, and 25th for the Trucker Slowdown for the boycott of Mexican trucks being allowed to drive in the U.S.
Hope to see you there!

Payback's a Bitch

By IOAN GRILLO, Associated Press Writer Wed Mar 28, 11:57 PM ET

MEXICO CITY - Mexico's attorney general on Wednesday demanded U.S. authorities do more to stop guns and drug money from heading south and fueling the drug violence in Mexico that left more 2,000 dead last year.
"It's truly absurd that a person can get together 50 to 100 high powered arms, grenade launchers, fragmentation grenades, and can transport this cargo to our country," Medina Mora said. "It's a task that needs a much more decided and determined effort from the U.S. government, and it's one of the demands we have put on the table."
"It's unthinkable that organized crime can get these amounts of money," Medina Mora said. "These transactions are not happening within the (Mexican) financial system. They are mostly from the flow of cash from the United States to Mexico."

Gosh more demands by the Mexican government. Don't they know that these poor drug smugglers are just trying to feed their families? Just doing the jobs that Americans won't do. What is truly absurd is that the Mexican and American government don't admit that they are the complicit in this tragedy by not working together to secure the border from both sides. The most logical solution is often the simplest solution.

If it ain't broke, don't price-fix it.

Bush administration lawyers urged the Supreme Court on Monday to repeal the nearly 100 year old that bans manufacturers from fixing prices of their products.
The government argues that the price-fixing rule is too rigid and makes it more difficult for companies to market their products with special displays in stores.
The National Assoc. of Manufacturers and other business groups have joined the Bush Adm. in urging the court to pull back on enforcement of antitrust laws. The laws have been in effect since 1911.
Changing this law would allow companies to set minimum prices that stores could sell a product.
My first impression is that it can only cost me more money to buy the the things I buy now. I don't see any advantage at all for the buying public. I also don't see the role of the Federal Government promoting price fixing especially now that more and more companies are consolidating and being gobbled up by large multinationals. I also don't believe that it is the job of the Supreme Court to make or repeal laws. I was led to believe their responsibility was to determine whether the laws passed by Congress were constitutional or not. The separation of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches seem to be disappearing almost as fast as our individual freedoms are.

GLOBALOSITY KILLED THE CAT

We used to say "Curiosity Killed the Cat", but "Globalism Killed the Cat" may be more accurate.

The Food and Drug Administration has said the investigation into the pet deaths was focused on wheat gluten in the food. The gluten itself would not cause kidney failure, but it could have been contaminated, the FDA said.
Paul Henderson, chief executive of Menu Foods, confirmed Friday that the wheat gluten was purchased from China.
The point is although the U.S. exports nearly two thirds of the wheat it produces and it is grown in at least 42 states, why are the pet food companies buying wheat gluten from China? With our staggering trade deficit with China it seems the last thing we need to import is a wheat product. I realize the company in question is Canadian and the plant in Kansas but why are we buying pet food from them? If you say that we can't compete on price then why are most of the names on the list of suspected products some of the most expense brands such as Science Diet, Iams, and Eukanuba?
We have spent decades and billions of dollars refining our product and worker safety codes and regulations only to abandon these practices in just a few short years to the siren call of "Globalization". We are constantly told that it is a global economy and there is nothing we can do about it, I suggest that is nothing more than manipulation. Do what you can to buy locally from your neighbors when ever possible. Check out the origins of your purchase if possible. Don't purchase what you don't need. Reuse and recycle. Remember that when you shop for the lowest priced items you are not considering the true cost equation. You are probably adding to the hugh national trade imbalance, costing your neighbor a job, decreasing the local tax base that funds your schools and other local projects and supporting countries that often imposed tariffs and restrictions that make it impossible for us to sell goods to them. Free trade is not the same as FAIR TRADE.

Don't call them Freedom Fighters

I could be wrong but I think if you use children as decoys in order to carry out your plan of destruction, you shed any doubt for those who would call you a freedom fighter instead of a cold blooded heartless murdering terrorist.
AP wire service
Updated: 2:43 p.m. PT March 21, 2007

BAGHDAD - Police said Wednesday that children were used in a weekend car bombing in which the driver gained permission to park in a busy shopping area after he pointed out that he was leaving his children in the back seat.
"Children in the back seat lowered suspicion, (so) we let it move through, they parked the vehicle, the adults run out and detonate it with the children in the back," Barbero told reporters in Washington. "The brutality and ruthless nature of this enemy hasn't changed."
Last April, a Marine told an Associated Press reporter in Ramadi that he was shot at by insurgents who were holding children. Other Marines on patrol in the city west of Baghdad have said Sunni insurgents ask children to check out American defenses or warn them of approaching convoys.
I also think it's ingenuous to call them "insurgents" or any other politically correct euphemism.
