""Illegal alien women are producing and utilizing children as hostages until demands for citizenship are met in the United States of America," said Michelle Dallacroce, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens."

Dear Ms. Clinton

How ya doing, me forgettaboutit things are good. The deal is as my representative I'm getting worried about this illegal thing. Now, I voted for you and given the mugs running against you, may vote for you again. (Still wish Rudy was around)

But I want you to do us, the people of your district a solid. We have kids that need jobs and frankly this bull about Americans not wanting to do certain jobs stinks. My mother God rest her soul picked fruit in California. In fact until the illegals took over that trade many citizens picked fruit, of course Hillary, there was no welfare back then, however people seemed to get by.

I had a cousin in the South that worked at some plant cleaning chickens. Hey it's a living. Ten years ago she was let go and the entire plant went illegal labor, in full view of the government, as they still are to this day. My cousin was lucky however and got a job at the Darnelle Nuke power plant. Good job, she worked there till she died of leukemia a few years back.

My first job was washing dishes. Yeah, seventeen years old working at Colony Kitchen. Made $72 a week (minimum wage) and felt like one of them Rockefellers. Heck, I advanced up to prep cook, line cook, ended up manager before I joined the service. Thing is today our seventeen year olds can't get a job washing dishes cause illegals work below the legal wage and no one will do a damn thing to the employers that hire them. Odd thing these illegals are also now cooks, managers and the other odd jobs that could give our seventeen year olds much needed experience.

Hillary, it's getting time for me to cast my vote and my issue this November is not terrorism, not the war in Iraq but rather the War here at home. I want jobs for our kids, I want to speak English and get service, I want this country to be made up of people who respect the law.

Do you want my vote? Do YOU want to represent ME? Will you seal our borders? Will you uphold the law?

Clerics Gone Wild

I'm a tolerant person, a spiritual person even... but I have my limits. Religion is killing us.

Jews, have religious interpretation of spiritual events called Zionism.. No wish to debate this, just stating people are dying because of it.

Moslems, have religious interpretation of spiritual events that has allowed fatwa’s to be issued, allowing the murder of innocent people. Some have them for writing a book, others for making movies about the plight of Muslim women. Bin Laden has one that allows him to suck the teat of eternal bliss in God's bosom as long as he kills no more then 10 million innocent people... Should he kill 10 million and one he would be damned.

Mormon’s, have religious interpretations of spiritual events that allow them to take little girls as wives and have sex with them, the more the merrier.

Baptists, have Pat Robison and Jerry Farwell, nothing more really needs to be said.

Catholics, have religious interpretation of spiritual events that allow them to build churches of gold off the backs of the poorest people on earth so that Jesus can hang out in that big gold coffee pot above the alter to his mom. They also tend to support leftist takeovers in Latin America, turn blind eyes to holocausts and let criminals hold up in churches so they can appease the working poor that keep Jesus swimming in gold.

Be on notice clerics of all faiths, you have crossed the line and I'm putting you on my list... and when I meet the Creator, I’m gonna rat each one of you out.

Oh, yes I skipped a few religions, but only the slackers that have pretty low body counts...

Nagin; Of Holes & Arseholes

"During the CBS "60 minutes" interview, a correspondent pointed out flood-damaged cars still on the streets of New Orleans' devastated Ninth Ward. Nagin replied, "You guys in New York can't get a hole in the ground fixed, and it's five years later. So let's be fair," according to CBS"

Mr. Nagin,

I know it must be hard dealing with the fact you holed up and cried like a little girl as the levees broke. I know it must be hard running out of both limelight and people to blame. That it must suck having our country’s most cowardly police force in the time of disaster and the most brutal in the aftermath.

The "hole" as you called it happens to be a site of reflection, repair and redemption for some. It is a site where, unlike your city, we had no warning that this was not to be just another day at the office. We had no time to "pray the storm away", no warning that everybody must leave.... Unlike your tendency to knee jerk, New Yorkers focus on what the effects will be in the future, what is best for the city. This is why we don't build up substandard infrastructures just to look busy, and Mr. Nagin this is why when the dirt hits the fan, our buses are full of people instead of floating like so many rubber ducks in a lot.

Mr. Nagin, we too, were screwed over by the government, however being New Yorkers we neither begged, blamed others or pointed toward ineptness such as yours.

Good day Sir, I suggest you focus closer to home.

It's Kinda Sad Really

"LOS ANGELES // Frustrated businesses took their fight against illegal immigration to court yesterday, filing the first in a series of lawsuits accusing competitors of hiring illegal workers to achieve an unfair advantage.

Anti-illegal immigration groups said the lawsuits were an attempt to enforce immigration law by creating a deterrent against hiring illegal employees.

"We see the legal profession bringing to this issue the kind of effect it's had on consumer product safety," said Michael M. Hethmon of the Immigration Reform Law Institute of Washington, which is backing the California cases." Source



It's kinda sad really... we the people for the people and such sounds good on paper but when our elected representatives move to Washington the practice rarely reflects those words.

It becomes "show me the money", as the party with the smallest bag full, politicizes the path to becoming the biggest. As history points out, whatever party is the majority will have the most corruption. Changing players doesn't help as those running as the "common Joe" rarely are as their armies of PR and Political consultants mold them into a poll shaped image that prints well in the media, but has a Dorian Grey effect as reality sets in.

So we the people for the people becomes a Wal-Mart like greeting with which our representatives meet lobbyists on the steps of the Hill as they salivate for the backroom meetings and freezers stuffed with cash.

In the inner city our youth is listening to "get rich or die trying", as they go to apply for an entry level job at a restaurant or factory; only to find the guy with a fake ID (the frigging photo is upside down) has the job because he's illegal, off the books and working for money our "representatives", have claimed is to low for the working man.

We the people for the people... Since I can't translate that phrase into Spanish it will be said I'm racist.

Because I ask the question, "why for the love of our constitution is the rights of those who aren't citizens, who break the law and refuse the common melting pot language that groups of immigrants for over two hundred years have embraced, of more importance to OUR representatives than US?"... I'm a racist.

Because I hate that our youth of any color, national origin or religion is getting screwed over by the millions of law breaking Mexican nationals screaming for amnesty, I'm a racist...

"We the people for the people", is being answered by "Besame Culo" and it's kinda sad really that it's coming from those we elected to represent "us".

"I was Wrong" - The New DNC Platform

"I voted for this war. I was wrong," Edwards, of North Carolina, told a crowd of about 300 people gathered outside the Yale University School of Medicine. "I should not have voted for this war and I take responsibility for that."


The trouble with people like Edwards is lack of honesty. They tend to vote according to polls and political winds. They would never do something unpopular, regardless to how bad the country may need such a thing. They will photo op, and smile as they pocket the check. They will open the border while claiming to shut it as they steal entry level jobs from our inner city youth. They claim to support higher wages as they tunnel in cheap labor crying “racist” at those that want such a thing stopped. Edwards is another Bush like so many of the politicians of the day... only the names and price of the book deals differ.

Besides, this is not the first time Edwards has been wrong or showed poor judgment; frankly why would people vote for someone so prone to such things?

Another Kiss of Death

"Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, leaders in worldwide anti-AIDS efforts, had praise Monday for President Bush's initiative, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, on the first full day of the 16th International AIDS Conference in Toronto."

"PEPFAR is a great success. ... Lives are being saved," Gates said." CNN.com

Let loose the hounds of blogs.... bray on, oh children of the night.

Stomping Joe

You would not realize that Joe Lieberman lost the CT primary by only 4% of the votes cast, 4% of only 20% of CT’s democrats that voted. The bloggers leading the party are fluming that Joe will not bow to the “will of the people”… that he will not step down for the good of the party. That he is a slap in the face of democracy.

Frankly that is what is wrong with the Democratic Party; they no longer can grasp the meaning of either freewill or one’s sense of duty. Joe is speaking out for people that can’t be lead around like sheep and God bless him for it. Perhaps we will see more democrats leave the party of KOS and come back to the people... God I hope so.

Joe is trying to save his party.

I wish Airlines

I wish Airlines were different from McDonalds. Instead of giving me cheap generic flights that stuff me in-between babies, fatties and wannabe "players". I wish they’d give me a safe secure passage to my travel destination. I would gladly pay more if they'd:

- Ban all carry on luggage, giving me a reason to lose the laptop, DVD and iPod so I can read a good book.

- Take security seriously and hire professionals rather than chase the minimum wage crowd. In fact our government could embrace security and help fund the development of two year courses in our community colleges. We could train personal for transportation docks of all types including port security and border control.

- Lose the "miles", make flying something we take seriously and not a reason to waste resources.

- Not wait till a bunch of people die before they make needed changes.

Proactive

Proactive is one of those words that seem to have fallen out of favor in the image driven world of slacker chic. Instead of preparing or acting toward something the substance of such things are today lesser than the image. It is easier to claim outrage and blame when the government fails, and embrace pop ideology when faced with the proactive acts of a state that takes actions to protect its citizens.

The monitoring of international calls to known terrorists was spun as a danger to our freedoms. Methods and techniques debated, published and broadcast. Our only saving grace seems that the terrorist world has a slacker mentality of its own.

As numerous citizens of my city travel via underground subways they are randomly searched and monitored by close circuit. Only bags are searched and not pockets or wallets, no calls are made for "papers". I've yet to meet one person who objects to this and it is documented that on two occasion’s tragedy was prevented.

However, to the over amplified left this was unacceptable and actions in our courts were taken to stop the practice. The courts of course upheld the systemic use of this practice but it revealed yet another danger of what the costs are when we let the extreme try to form our rules.

I could not live under the extreme right, as I can not live under what the democrat party is allowing itself to become.

Respect equality and yes proactive measures are important to me yet missing from those who claim the ability to lead this land as they juggle feverously for my vote. Instead they think I will be impressed that they bark like a dog….

Threat Assessment

For those that get their political views from various blogs this is a morning for jabbering on about Bush’s scare tactics, wondering out loud if such threats even exist or perhaps lamenting about how we, the western world, have brought this upon ourselves. It’s the fault of our oil use, our defense of the state of Israel to protect itself from those that have the goal to destroy it, or perhaps the fault of our capitalist CEOs. It’s the fault of Bush, neocons and the greedy GOP as pointed out by Senators Kennedy and Kerry who seem more and more to share the same “Citizen Kane suit”.

In the computer world we define threats to our networks and use an effective method to evaluate threats based on actual content of proven threats. We match signatures and scan packets of traffic for predictable threat patterns. However, in the real world that is called profiling. After 911 we sued the major airlines to stop them from profiling. Outrage and charges of criminal behavior have come because Bush without warrants wiretapped calls based on a given threat profile; one that has killed over 3000 Americans and is still hungry.

Something KOS, Josha and their ilk can’t do however is stop those who want to kill us, with their words. After all it is easier to blame, cast doubt, spin and play political arm chair general than to infiltrate plots, gather evidence and put into action something that saves lives. Phone call monitoring worked, profiling worked and God help us all if such facts are allowed to be spun away.

The only thing that is giving me pause, that is frightening...is what happen in Connecticut where reason and service was overcome by money, spin and the politics of division... for in it I see the formula for defeat.

This is not the sixties, this is not about what is cool and what is not. It is about threat, and frankly the need to start assessing it correctly instead of politizing it. And yes, both parties are doing this.

A party Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can be proud of

"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew."

The party that KOS built...

"To what do the attacks on Mr. Lieberman speak? As far as we can tell, to no concern more noble than anti-Semitism and racism, with a smattering of anti-Bush paranoia mixed in for taste. Just consider the rantings that have been directed at the senator in the left-wing blogosphere, as recounted by Democratic strategist Lanny Davis in yesterday's Wall Street Journal. One commenter on the influential blog DailyKos.com wrote, "as everybody knows, jews ONLY care about the welfare of other jews; thanks ever so much for reminding everyone of this most salient fact, so that we might better ignore all that jewish propaganda [by Lieberman] about participating in the civil rights movement of the 60s and so on." Or this: "Ned Lamont and his supporters need to [g]et real busy. Ned needs to beat Lieberman to a pulp in the debate and define what it means to be an AMerican who is NOT beholden to the Israeli Lobby."

Even so, holding hateful opinions and acting on them are two different things. The question now is whether supporters of Mr. Lieberman's opponent crossed that line. It certainly seems suspicious that Mr. Lieberman's campaign Web site would crash just hours before polling, taking with it the campaign's e-mail service including the ability to send get-out-the-vote messages to voters' inboxes. The opponent, Ned Lamont, has denied any responsibility, but that doesn't rule out his renegade supporters, one of whom had already attracted attention last week for circulating a caricature of Mr. Lieberman in black-face. Given that the rhetoric Mr. Lieberman's opponents have been spewing is better suited to a Klan meeting than a senatorial primary, the senator is certainly justified in being suspicious that something more than a mere computer glitch is at work."

Welcome Joe!

As a life long democrat I can relate to the feeling you must be having. I like you always had both an open mind to needs of our socity and the strength to hold onto my convictions, despite the fact that at times they could go against the pop culture of sound bites and instant gratifacation.

Like you Joe, I had it made clear that the "party of the people" was no longer interested in my views, my issues or even the basic right of any group of people to form diverse opinions. Instead the party became one in which the common good was replaced with the dogma of "anyone but...". The vetting process is left to bloggers, pundits and the cash cow of George Soros hand outs. More and more the "party of the people" turn to bored millionaires to represent them... after all they are, "anyone but", tomorrow be damned... just get us power today.

Answers to any issue? Anyone but...

Meanwhile the complex world gets more complex, blogs full of an idealistic rhetoric of hate and blame have defined a party... have diminished and limited it's representation of "the people". We are left with the party of lemmings, blinking cursors in the lead.


As you join those of us already out here, know we welcome such as you Joe. You haven't given up on us and my friend we will not give up on you. After all you earned our respect by a history of service, which despite the crowing of KOS will stand long after those blogs stand silent.
