Nothing to See Here

Ever heard of Jim Pouillon? He's the the guy gunned down this past Friday for holding an anti-abortion sign. Put another way, he was gunned down by a left wing crazy who was offended that Mr. Pouillon was exercising his right to protest abortions.

Ever heard of Dr, George Tiller? Some called him 'Tiller the Killer' as he was considered by many the most notorious late-term (read: partial birth) abortionist in America. He was gunned down by a right wing crazy who was offended that Mr. Tiller was, in his estimation, murdering babies.

Regardless of where your sympathies might or might no lie, its hard to believe the coverage these two events received. The producer of Glenn Beck's radio show did a Factiva search of US news sources for the two stories. How many stories were written on each murder?

Stories written about the murder of the abortion doctor: 643

Stories written about the murder of the man holding an anti-abortion sign: 19

Huh. 3,384% more stories about an abortionist. Wonder if the media takes sides...

My own google search:

George Tiller: 558,000 hits

James Pouillon: 58,400 hits

Even the internet is tilted 10:1

Does This Need an Explanation?

Let's see Bush '08 debt = bad... so Obama's debt (Bush x 4) = ?

I just can't believe the word 'trillion' is being so flippantly associated with Federal spending. The Progressives are reaching their end game in America. It may very well be too late. Our Children and Grandchildren are already saddled with the tremendous debt they have created and Obama and his associated cronies in Washington are quadrupling down and asking for more.

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security... all about to be bankrupt with no help in sight, so let's stack on the Federalization of 1/6 of the US economy via a massive health care takeover. The government runs so much more efficiently than private business, I'm sure it'll be great (if you're a Congressman and aren't subject to the restrictions of the bill you are trying to pass for all the serfs)

Throw them all out.

The Joke it Certainly on US

Maybe this will be next:

Larry Kudlow speaks

We are beyond screwed at this point... “What is going on in this country? The government is about to take over GM in a plan that completely screws private bondholders and favors the unions. Get this: The GM bondholders own $27 billion and they’re getting 10 percent of the common stock in an expected exchange. And the UAW owns $10 billion of the bonds and they’re getting 40 percent of the stock. Huh? Did I miss something here? And Uncle Sam will have a controlling share of the stock with something close to 50 percent ownership. And no bankruptcy judge. So this is a political restructuring run by the White House, not a rule-of-law bankruptcy-court reorganization. . . . With Geithner running the Treasury and the potentially criminal enterprise called TARP, is his incestuous relationship with Wall Street bigwigs a perfect example of the fox guarding the henhouse? Was he too cozy to keep a critical eye on the very institutions that blew up later?”

Civil War Incitement?

"The Democrat-run Congress, liberal Republicans and Barack Obama are systematically bleeding the country dry, with their ongoing thefts of the US Treasury—under the guise of “stimulus bills” that stimulate nothing but these corrupt power-elite. We-the-People are being reduced to serfs in the US’ burgeoning Communo-fascist feudal state. Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder is in the process of dismantling the Second Amendment and making it null and void. "

Thus speaks the Canada Free Press

Uh... what?

Obama White House bars press from press award ceremony???

Paging John Galt

Senior executives on both sides of the Atlantic on Friday warned of an exodus of talent from some of the biggest names in US finance, saying the “anti-American” measures smacked of “a McCarthy witch-hunt” that would send the country “back to the stone age”...

“Commodity traders are already moving to companies like BP where they can make as much money as they used to,” said another banker at a US firm.

Bankers at Deutsche Bank said it could benefit from the proposed legislation by poaching its US rivals’ most talented employees.

Yeah, until we get our 'global' solution and everyone's screwed equally.

Top Ten Obama/Biden Gaffes Thus Far

According the a blogger at Britain's The Telegraph Newspaper/Website...

This is probably the worst of them thus far (a whole 60 days into his Presidency):

3. Gordon Brown presents the new President with: a pen holder carved from the timbers of HMS Gannett, a sister ship of HMS Resolute; the commissioning certificate of HMS Resolute; and a seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In return, the Prime minister gets 25 DVDS, which don't work in Britain:

More Good News

Attorney General Eric Holder said some detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may end up being released in the U.S. as the Obama administration works with foreign allies to resettle some of the prisoners.

Releasing terrorists picked up on the battlefield directly into the US, eh? Quite a novel way to defend America. It must be part of that 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer' thing'... What could possibly go wrong?

Perhaps they'll move in with Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers.

DOH!

"A teleprompt blunder has led to Barack Obama thanking himself in a speech at the White House in a St Patrick's Day celebration."

"Mr Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the "teleprompt president" over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech."

President Teleprompter indeed.

No Hypocricy Here

Then:

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."

In 2006, 51 percent of Democrats wanted Bush to fail, according to a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll.

Now:

...Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were unpatriotic.

Maybe its all Michelle's Fault?

Perhaps this explains it:

Was 'Lady Macbeth' behind Barack Obama's snub of Gordon Brown?

"This was not the act of a global statesman, but of a hormonal teenager dismissing her bestest of best BFs for no other reason than that she felt like it and she can, so there."

Obamas insult Britain

Michelle Malkin: The British have begun to worry about the “special relationship” in the Anglosphere since the election of Barack Obama. First, the visit from Gordon Brown failed to get the usual Rose Garden joint-presser treatment from the White House this week. Now the Daily Mail reports that Obama cheaped out on the traditional gift exchange, rustling up some DVDs in exchange for a thoughtful gift from Brown:

Mr Brown’s gifts included an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.

Mr Obama was so delighted he has already put it in pride of place in the Oval Office on the Resolute desk which was carved from timbers of Gannet’s sister ship, HMS Resolute.

Another treasure given to the U.S. President was the framed commission for HMS Resolute, a vessel that came to symbolise Anglo-US peace when it was saved from ice packs by Americans and given to Queen Victoria.

Finally, Mr Brown gave a first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert

More Clinton Gaffes

"I have never understood multiparty democracy. It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy."

The remark provoked much headshaking in the parliament of a bloc that likes to trace back its democratic tradition thousands of years to the days of classical Greece.

One working lunch later with EU leaders, Clinton raised more eyebrows when she referred to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who stood beside her, as "High Representative Solano."

She also dubbed European Commission External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner as "Benito."

Funny how none of this really gets reported... If Condi had done any of this, she would have been excoriated. Of course, she also knows how to speak Russian...

Clinton's Hard Work Pays Off With Failure

“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton said as reporters, allowed in to observe the first few minutes of the meeting, watched.

“You got it wrong,” Lavrov said, to Clinton’s clear surprise. Instead of "reset," he said the word on the box meant “overcharge.”

I said failure, but more likely its yet another insult to a foreign country.

It's funny how the Reuter's article completely skipped the gaffe in their story though... Perhaps they didn't actually see the video of the event.

Maybe We Need More Crisis

First Rahm Emanuel: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that its an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before... and this crisis provides the opportunity for us as I would say the opportunity to do things you could not do before"

Now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience Friday "never waste a good crisis,"

New Deal 2.0 = Great Depression 2.0 ?

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.”

“I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises.”

“I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot!”

Hmmm... Who's words might those be? Ever heard of Henry Morgenthau Jr. - who spoke these words in 1939 while testifying to the House Ways and Means Committee. And just who is this Henry Morgenthau Jr.?

He's been described as a close friend, lunch companion and - oh - Treasury Secretary to "Progressive (modern Liberal)" FDR himself from 1934 until the end of FDR's presidencies.

As much as I might like the fact that he saw the delusion of Keynesian economics for what it was, he also was a leading participant in the establishment of The Bretton Woods System, the International Monetary Fund and what would become the "World Bank". These are all systems enabling the "government" - in whatever form - to meddle in the free market in order to make sure we never had any more wild economic swings. Throw the Federal Reserve System (The Fed) in there as well which was created by America's first "Progressive" president Woodrow Wilson in 1913 and judge for yourself how well they've done.

No economic bubbles or recessions since 1913. Your government has everything under control.

Weather Channel Founder Speaks Out Again

"Global Warming. It is the hoax. It is bad science. It is a high jacking of public policy. It is no joke. It is the greatest scam in history."

No, Obama's no Socialist...

Change we can believe in!

Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

Hannity/Limbaugh fans most politcally savvy?

We can't have that! Time or the Censorship, er... Fairness Doctrine!!! Free National Enquirers for everyone! Go back to sleep America.

A Pew Research poll broke out groups based on where they got their news and asked 3 questions, the first (and most telling) being 'Which party controls Congress':

• Hannity & Colmes: 84 percent
• Rush Limbaugh: 83 percent
• The New Yorker/Atlantic: 71 percent
• NPR: 73 percent
• Colbert Report: 73 percent
• O'Reilly Factor: 70 percent
• NewsHour: 66 percent
• Daily Show: 65 percent
• C-SPAN: 63 percent (Less than The Daily Show?!?)
• CNN: 59 percent (Less than that?!?)
• Letterman/Leno: 51 percent
• National Enquirer: 44 percent

The really disturbing thing about this is that this means that 41% of CNN viewers must blame the GOP for all the stupidity coming out of Congress for the past 2 years. Its gotta make CNN feel really proud to know that 4/10 of their viewers are so politically stupid they don't even know who's running the country... Or perhaps that's all part of the plan.

Maybe this explains why Conservatives are happier than Liberals?

I just wish they had included a category for Keith Olbermann viewers.

Global Warming Takes Another Hit

A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming.

Al Gore must have been there somewhere

Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922.

Update:

According to MeteoNews, the Swiss lowlands received the most snow for any October since records began in 1931. Zurich received 20cm, beating a record of 14cm set in 1939.

It was a record for Oct. 29 and the second lowest temperature ever recorded in October since 1850.

Rich = $250,000/yr, er $200,000, or $150,000, or ...?

"Senator Obama has made a lot of promises. First, he said people making less than $250,000 would benefit from his plan.

"Then, this weekend, he announced in an ad that if you're a family making less than $200,000 you'll benefit - but yesterday right here in Pennsylvania, Senator Biden said tax relief should only go to 'middle-class people' - people making under $150,000 a year.

"At this rate, it won't be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote (last year) that Americans making just $42,000 a year should get a tax increase."

Once again... whatever.

So What...

"Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34."

Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof

A funny thing happened on the way to a melting Earth...

"Still, the number of climate change skeptics is growing rapidly. Because a funny thing is happening to global temperatures -- they're going down, not up."

Nobel Prize economists oppose Obama's plan

We are equally concerned with his proposals to increase tax rates on labor income and investment. His dividend and capital gains tax increases would reduce investment and cut into the savings of millions of Americans. His proposals to increase income and payroll tax rates would discourage the formation and expansion of small businesses and reduce employment and take-home pay, as would his mandates on firms to provide expensive health insurance.

You'd think they didn't like Socialism or something...

"The coming liberal thugocracy"

Michael Barone of the Washington Times opines.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors," Barack Obama told a crowd in Elko, Nev. "I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face." Actually, Obama supporters are doing a lot more than getting into people's faces. They seem determined to shut people up. "

I never said this...

Turoa claims largest snow base ever

Auguring brief era of ice in 2010

Unbelievable. Where's that idiot Al Gore hiding?

Common Sense from ... New Jersey?!?

According to recent news reports, a top observatory that has been measuring sun spot activity predicts that global temperatures will drop by two degrees over the next 20 years as solar activity slows and the planet drastically cools down. They suggest this could potentially herald the onset of a new ice age. Following the end of the sun’s most active period in over 11,000 years, the last 10 years have displayed a clear cooling trend as temperatures post-1998 leveled out and are now decreasing.

When colder = hotter

That's by far the fewest 90-degree temperatures in the opening nine years of any decade on record here since 1930.

Muslim => Christian

He has the tone of a Prophet.

"Years ago, years ago, when I was there, God opened my eyes, my mind also, and I became a completely different person."

Hmm... Paging Al Gore:

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming.

Common Sense from Australia

"The truth is Australia on its own emits less than 1.5 per cent of the world's carbon dioxide. Any savings we make will make no real difference, given that China (now the biggest emitter) and India (the fourth) are booming so fast that they alone will pump out 42 per cent of the world's greenhouse gases by 2030.

Indeed, so fast are the world's emissions growing -- by 3.1 per cent a year thanks mostly to these two giants -- that the 20 per cent cuts Rudd demands of Australians by 2020 would be swallowed up in just 28 days. That's how little our multi-billions of dollars in sacrifices will matter."

How Low Can You Go? Single Digits

Wow. You'd think they'd care, but apparently not.

The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history.

Answer: He's Not

How can there be 40% less terrorism since 2001 when Bush is such a failure?

I'll See Your Dubious 3,000

and raise you 30,000+ American scientists who reject the hoax that is "Global Warming"

Paging Al Gore

Even the BBC has to admit it:

Global Temperatures 'to decrease'

Not very well written though:

"A minority of scientists question whether this means global warming has peaked and the earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse gases than predicted."

In truth, a "minority" (less than 50%) of scientists question whether "global warming" is anything more than smoke in the wind.

Release the Hounds!

Wow!

Weird

Climate Panel on the Hot Seat: The IPCC published its Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 predicting global warming will lead to widespread catastrophe if not mitigated, yet failed to provide the most basic requirement for effective climate policy: accurate temperature statistics.

You'd think that would be important.

I Love Mark Steyn

But a Democrat nominating process that's a self-torturing satire of upscale liberal guilt confusions will at least give us a laugh along the way.

Weather Channel founder John Cole speaks of 'his strategy for exposing what he called "the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.'

Beware the Coming Ice Age

Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia and China is greater than at any time since 1966.

Canadian Scientists weigh in on Global ... Cooling?

Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical "consensus." Scientists worried about a new ice age seek funding to better observe something bigger than your SUV — the sun.

And we all make fun of the RCMP

Like their forebears, present-day Border Patrol agents continue to use sturdy quarter horses -- so called as they are the fastest breed over a quarter mile, and are also renowned for their strength and stamina.

US Senate Report on Global Warming

Hmmm.... Here's a report put out by the US Senate chronicling 400 scientists who doubt the wild claims of the "Global Warming" alarmists:

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.

Al Gore responds: They've - um - been bought off by big oil. Yeah, that's the ticket.

More trouble for the Hoax that is Global Warming

Hundreds dead from the cold and Antarctica's getting colder.

I Love Ronald Reagan

Conservative / Libertarian / libertarian?

LA LA LA! I can't hear you!

It keeps getting worse for Al Gore and the other "Global Warming" alarmists.

Who Needs Border Security?

Fort Huachuca, the nation's largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.

Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.

More: According to the source who spoke with DEA intelligence agents, the weapons included two Milan anti-tank missiles, Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles, grenade launchers, long guns and handguns

Weather Channel Founder Disses Global Warming

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

The Knights Templar were Innocent!

Historically Anti-Semitic? Not France?!

The unpopularity of the Templars provided an opportunity for France's King Philip II (known as "the Fair" because of his good looks, not his judgement) to destroy them in order to seize their vast wealth. In 1306, Philip expelled all the Jews from France, and confiscated their assets. He then aimed at the Templars.

11% for Congress versus 29% for Bush. Bush doesn't care (really he never has) about his approval ratings and since he's not running again it makes no difference. Members of Congress on the other hand have an election in a year.

Way to go Democrats! Maybe you'll get under 10% next go around.

Bush makes Jihadis hate Sweden

Here's an interesting story.

Apparently, Al-Qaeda in Iraq (not affiliated with Al-Qaeda "Worldwide" according to Democrats) is threatening... a Swedish cartoonist!

Somebody needs to tell these Iraqi Al-Qaeda types that Harry Reid, Nancy Peolsi, et al have declared them a local threat created by the United States, rather than part of a global jihad against Western Civilization.

Global Warming increases Polar Ice Cap

That's sure weird... You'd think there'd be less ice if it were getting hotter. I guess you have you be smart like Al Gore* to understand apparent contridictions like this.

* "Gore's undergraduate transcript from Harvard is riddled with C's, including a C-minus in introductory economics, a D in one science course, and a C-plus in another. "In his sophomore year at Harvard," the Post reported, "Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale." Moreover, Gore's graduate school record - consistently glossed over by the press - is nothing short of shameful. In 1971, Gore enrolled in Vanderbilt Divinity School where, according to Bill Turque, author of "Inventing Al Gore," he received F's in five of the eight classes he took over the course of three semesters. Not surprisingly, Gore did not receive a degree from the divinity school. Nor did Gore graduate from Vanderbilt Law School, where he enrolled for a brief time and received his fair share of C's. (Bush went on to earn an MBA from Harvard)."

Is this a Cover-up or What?

I don't understand why this had not made any news...

Just a Muslim wearing para-military clothes at night with a loaded AK-47.

What? I'm sure he was just trying to protect himself from the Jews.

The Sun makes the Earth hotter?!?

More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance.

How to Destroy America

Liberals seem intent on destroying America. New York is doing it by using federal as well as municipal tax-dollars to open, operate, and secure an Islamic Madrassa in Brooklyn cleverly disguised as a public school.

Ban Guns: Double you Crime Rate

Despite a ban on handguns introduced in 1997 after 16 children and their teacher were shot dead in the Dunblane massacre the previous year, their use in crimes has almost doubled to reach 4,671 in 2005-06. Official figures show that although Britain has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the world, firearm use in crime has risen steadily.

Imagine that! A disarmed public faces increased gun crime. Who could have predicted that?

Don't Spit: Reduce "Global Warming"

A major new scientific study concludes the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on worldwide temperatures is largely irrelevant, prompting one veteran meteorologist to quip, "You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."

Strange, but I seemed to have missed the New York Times' take on this study...

All the News that's fit to Fake

Randall Hoven of the American Thinker does a good job of putting it all together. He lists over 60 incidents of "Journalists" (and others) fabricating or plagiarizing stories.

Who is it that's killing Muslims?

Try this:

In Somalia’s long-running civil war, at least 550,000 Muslims have perished. Just one 1988 aerial bombardment ordered by dictator Siad Barre flattened Somaliland’s regional capital, Hargeisa, and slaughtered 50,000.

or this:

In Iraq, the 1980-88 war with Iran produced more than 1.5 million Muslim deaths. Saddam’s endless domestic purges added another million, mostly Shia and Kurd deaths. The current Sunni-Shia confrontation is estimated to have caused another 100,000 deaths to date.

Must be the Jews...

How Obama "Supports the Troops"

"We've got to get the job done there," Obama said of Afghanistan. "And that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

Brilliant! That's exactly what we're doing in Afghanistan: "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians". He'll be a perfect Commander-in-Chief.

How About Now?

Considering Pakistan is an ally, I'm not sure threatening them with invasion / bombing would be considered good international relations. Pakistan doesn't seem to like the idea. These guys sure don't.

Way to go, Barak. Why don't you "flush a Koran down the toilet" while you're at it.

A turning point for Iraq?

This is tremendous news!

Iraq completed one of sport's great fairytales by beating Saudi Arabia 1-0 in the Asian Cup final on Sunday to provide a rare moment for celebration in their war-torn homeland.

It seems events like these should be bigger news

— San Diego, July 7. A U.S. person — either a citizen or a foreigner legally here — checked baggage containing two ice packs covered in duct tape. The ice packs had clay inside them rather than the normal blue gel.

— Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person's carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

— Houston, Nov. 8, 2006. A U.S. person's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a 9-volt battery, wires, a block of brown clay-like minerals and pipes.

— Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.

22% worse than ever ?!

Hmmm. 14% is an all time low for confidence in Congress. The previous low was 18% which occurred with Democrats under Clinton, Democrats before Clinton and now its the Democrats under Bush.

I'm sensing a pattern here...

Dear Congressperson Giffords,

I certainly hope your recent vote on the Emergency Military Supplemental for our troops is not an indication of how you will be voting in the future.

I don’t recall you running on a platform of Surrender and Pork with regards to Iraq, however your recent vote indicates that those are exactly what you believe in.

I would like an explanation as to why you favor $20 Billion in vote-buying Pork attached to an Emergency Military Supplemental. You voted in favor of this.

I would also like to know how retreat from Iraq – which our enemies (Al-Qaeda) have called the central front in their war against us – is good for the United States. When your enemy declares a region to be the central front in a war, it seems counter-intuitive to me that our response should be to abandon the region… Again, that is what you voted for.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Correction

Mark Levin tonight was talking about the net cost to the United States if we legalize the illegals. The cost of "unskilled workers" should have been the net of $13,000 each per year, rather than the gross of $22,449. But its still plenty bad.

If we legalize 15 million illegals, that's an additional cost to the United States $195 Billion dollars per year !? !

Think the Iraq/Afghanistan wars costs alot?

President Bush just recently asked Congress for less than half that much - $103B - for 2007 ...

Holding Pattern

I sense this blog has entered a holding pattern. Perhaps after Christmas things will change.

Get out and VOTE !

Where ever you are, whatever you do, get out and vote GOP !

If you live in Arizona, here's a voting guide I agree with and don't see any reason to reproduce.
