Clintons Try To Suppress Cisneros Report

Do you all remember Henry Cisneros? He served as Secretary of HUD under Clinton. He was convicted of lying to the FBI about paying $250,000 in hush money to his mistress (birds of a feather, Henry and Bubba). He and his mistress were later pardoned in the get of jail free frenzy initiated by Hillary at the end of the Clinton presidency. Well now, according to this NY Daily News article, Hillary's worried some embarassing details may become news just when she's running for reelection.
WASHINGTON - The independent counsel investigation that led to the conviction of a former Clinton administration housing chief could come back to haunt Sen. Hillary Clinton.

The Daily News has learned that lawyers are fighting to suppress a potentially embarrassing final report from the probe that found Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros lied to the FBI about paying $250,000 in hush money to his ex-mistress.

Cisneros paid a $10,000 fine after he was found guilty in 1999 and was later pardoned by Bill Clinton. And though neither Hillary Clinton nor her husband was targeted by independent counsel David Barrett, his 420-page final report sent to a special court 13 months ago will include alleged abuses of power by his administration, sources told The News.

After Cisneros was convicted, Barrett started looking into allegations that the IRS and Justice Department aides stymied a tax fraud case against the disgraced Housing and Urban Development secretary and audited Clinton critics.

Ex-IRS Commissioner Peggy Richardson, who remains a close friend of the Clintons, is among the officials cited in the report, sources said.

Lawyers at the Washington firm Williams and Connolly who work for Cisnero and both Clintons have argued to judges overseeing the case that allegations of illegal activity, for which no charges were filed, should be snipped before the report is made public.

The court secretly granted another delay last month, a source said.

Barrett refused to comment on the case, but told The News that he's eager to wrap things up.

"The report was filed over a year ago, but there are still matters ... that have to be resolved by the judges before they decide when it can be published," he said. "The decision rests entirely with the court."

In April, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) tried to ax the probe - which has cost $22 million, including $1 million for the first six months of this year - by cutting Barrett's budget, saying it's a waste of money, but Republicans stopped them.

Williams and Connolly has since tried to quash the report, which probably would be released amid Clinton's 2006 Senate reelection bid.

Clinton lawyer David Kendall declined comment.

Hillary, Afraid To Visit Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Puerto Rican police tightened security at federal buildings and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton canceled a visit to the island amid fears the killing of a Puerto Rican nationalist in an FBI shootout could lead to a resurgence of pro-independence violence.

Clinton was to have addressed the chamber of commerce in the southern city of Ponce on Friday, spokesman Philippe Reines said. He did not return calls and e-mail queries about why the New York Democrat canceled the trip and if it had to do with the protests.

But Chamber of Commerce President Ernesto Cordova cited the "sensitivity of the current political situation."

Read the rest at Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

What is Hillary afraid of? These are her friends and supporters. She's the one who pushed her husband to grant pardons to 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who had been responsible for bombings that killed and maimed our fellow citizens. One of the worst took place in Manhattan. The Clintons have never taken terrorism seriously.

Of course, the pardons were done to buy Hillary votes in her run for senator of NY. In fact, former US Attorney Joseph DiGenova stated, "Let me say categorically, the Puerto Rican terrorists were pardoned because they were a political benefit to the president's wife."

The opposition to the pardons came across the spectrum, from Mayor Guiliani to Senator Chuck Schumer. But, that was of no consequence to the Clintons who would canonize Osama himself if that would buy them more power.

Hillary will probably run for the presidency or at the very least take her best shot at the democrat nomination. A woman who would work to obtain undeserved clemency for murderers just to garner votes is not fit for the oval office. In fact, she is not fit for the Senate or any other public office. What a disgrace.

Sunday's Sunday Funny

A Sunday Funny On Saturday

An orthodox Jew, a Hindu and an attorney for the ACLU were traveling together to a conference. While in the car there was intense discussion about keeping God and religion out of government institutions and the lawyer railed on about the abuses of faith based organizations. The Jew and the Hindu argued that religion contributed positively to society and was an important cornerstone of a strong nation.

Night was approaching when suddenly the car sputtered to a halt in the middle of nowhere. None of the three knew anything about the mechanics of an automobile and they became concerned for their welfare. Suddenly, in the last vestiges of light , the Hindu spotted a farmhouse in the distance. The three began the long trek to the building and after an hour's walk they arrived at the front door.

A knock soon brought the owner and the three men excitedly explained their problem to him. The farmer advised them that there would be no way to fix the car until morning but they were welcome to his hospitality. "I have a small guest room with two small beds that you are welcome to use. I'm afraid one of you will have to sleep in the barn but there is plenty of straw and with some pillows and blankets it may well be far more comfortable than the bedroom."

The three looked at each other and without a second thought the Hindu said, "Please take the room, I really don't mind sleeping in the barn at all."

The Jew and the attorney quickly went to their room, turned off the light and got into bed.

Five minutes passed and a knock was heard on the guest room door. The Jew jumped out of bed, opened it and there stood the Hindu. Sheepishly he said, "There is a cow in the barn and I don't feel right sleeping next to a cow."

The Jew said, "Don't worry, my friend, take my bed and I'll sleep in the barn."

The Jew left and the Hindu turned off the light and took his bed.

Five minutes passed and again a knock on the door was heard. This time the attorney leapt from his bed and opened the door. The Jew was back and he said, "I'm sorry there are pigs in the barn and I don't sleep with swine."

The ACLU attorney said, "See, this is what comes of this religious nonsense. Take my bed and I'll sleep in the barn."

The Jew turned off the light and took the lawyer's bed.

Five minutes passed. Again, the knock came to the door once more. The Jew and the Hindu both jumped from their beds and flung open the door. There stood the pigs and the cow!

Repeat After Me, The Primary Is Not The Election

Ok, I don't know what it is about Florida, the heat, the humidity, a combination of both, but there seems to be an abnormal amount of nut cases.

Some extremist black group, called Uhuru, is unable to understand the political process. It seems they are mystified by the fact that you can win a primary but still lose the election. They filed a lawsuit last month in federal court claiming the election process in St. Petersburg makes it too difficult to get black candidates elected because after they nominate them in primary elections, they can still be voted down in the general election when the whole city can vote.

As if that demented misunderstanding of the election process isn't laughable enough, a white woman, Darden Rice, won the primary.

Dwight 'Chimurenga' Waller, a black candidate and president of the Uhuru group, said he was not surprised a white candidate won. No one is surprised you lost, Dwight, if your lawsuit is any indication of your political acumen.

"This lawsuit was a part of an effort to stop this takeover of the black community," Waller said. "It's a takeover by a power elite that happens to be white people."

The International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement believes a white person is unfit to represent District 6, which includes parts of downtown and Midtown and has a predominantly black population. Waller has said, he believes Rice should not represent District 6 because of her race.

"She's part of the attempt to take over the African community," Waller said. "It's the same oppressive politic."

Waller said Rice was helped by a redrawing of district lines several years ago that added white voters to the district. Ironically, Rice said she was helped by Waller's assertions.

Turnout was very low in District 6, less than 15 percent. But Rice said she could not have led her field without the support of all voters, of all races.

The incumbent city council member in District 6 is a black man, Earnest Williams. He finished second in Tuesday's primary. But Waller said he will do nothing to help him get reelected.

It sounds like the biggest stumbling blocks to electing a black candidate in this district are Dwight and his band of mental midgets.

The Marketing Of Amnesty

Early in the year, in his State of the Union speech, President Bush hinted at what might be coming to address the border debacle.He said, we "should not be content with laws that punish hardworking people who only want to provide for their families." Thus, began the marketing of his "guest worker" program, the reward to illegals and the selling out of America to buy Latin votes.
The truth is our laws, when they are enforced, are there to protect our citizens' lives and property. They provide an organized, structured means to determine who should be allowed in this country and for how long. To imply that our laws were meant to punish law abiding productive citizens or legal aliens is not only untrue but unworthy of the president of these United States. But the president was not referring to citizens or legal aliens, he meant criminals who had broken our laws and were living in our country without permission. He meant he wants to give them a free pass but refuses to call it amnesty. It's all in the words, illegal becomes undocumented and undocumented becomes "hardworking people who only want to provide for their families"

Now, Karl Rove is at the point, mustering support for Bush's plan to legalize millions of criminals. Of course, there is mention of a "substantial fine", whatever that means, to make this whole fiasco easier to swallow for the vast majority of Americans who oppose rewarding lawbreakers. Bush has said he wants to allow illegals to apply for a 3 year work visa, with a 3 year extension possible before they have to return to where they came from. This is a potential 6 year add on to all the illegal time they've been here already.

And now, Jeb Bush, Florida's governor and the president's brother, in a speech, calls on the federal government to change immigration policy because it is "stifling" international travel and commerce. What a crock of horse manure. This is just another step in the Bush marketing plan to ram millions of illegal criminals down Uncle Sam's throat.

Watch closely in the coming weeks as this issue becomes increasingly tense and the stakes are raised. Arms will be twisted, deals will be closed and the selling out of America will continue to be launched, I'm afraid, from Pennsylvania avenue.

Remember, John McCain and Teddy Kennedy are in bed together on this agenda. If Bush doesn't get his way, John will run on the immigration issue, claiming his experience as senator of a border state gives him deep undertsanding of the problem on both sides, as if there were more than one side.

Our nation is in deep trouble because we have elected representatives who refuse to honor and enforce the laws they disagree with. They are no better and perhaps worse than the lawbreakers they seek to reward. We must remove them from office or we deserve what we get.

The Screwtape Letters Of The ACLU

The following is a suggested letter on the ACLU website encouraging people to oppose the REAL ID Act. Then, there are suggested attachments to personalize your note How do you personalize something if you don't write any part of it? Oh well, dishonesty never stopped this scurvy crew.

Dear [Decision Maker],

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose the REAL ID Act of 2005 (H.R. 418), which is an uncalled-for assault on immigrants and would force states to deny driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants in violation of their own policies. I believe our borders can be protected and our security ensured through proper responses to critical needs, not misguided proposals on a nationalized drivers licenses and new requirements for people fleeing persecution.

This proposed legislation would allow officials to require people seeking asylum to get supporting evidence from the very governments they are fleeing. For example, Christians fleeing persecution in the Sudan or Saudi Arabia could be required to get corroborating documents from repressive governments. This lacks common sense: those fleeing their home countries to seek asylum in American don't have the luxury to obtain what amounts to an explanatory note from their persecutors.

This bill would impose federal control over the issuance of state driver's licenses, even if this violation of their own policies. The use of state motor vehicle agencies as agents of the federal immigration service would also lead to an increase in unlicensed drivers, undermining public safety and increasing insurance rates for everyone. Motor vehicles employees lack training in federal immigration law, and are likely instead to rely on ethnic profiling based on notions of who "looks foreign."

This would expand the PATRIOT Act to allow deportations of lawful permanent residents for providing non-violent, humanitarian support to organizations later labeled as "terrorist" by the government, even where such support was completely legal at the time it was provided. The bill would retroactively make entirely legal donations, even donations made decades ago, a ground of deportation to green-card holders if the organization to which a donation was made is later added to a government terrorist list. This would lessen the flow of donations by lawful residents to projects such as tsunami relief and aid to Sudan since they would have no way of knowing whether the government might decide, at some future date, that the organization was somehow involved in terrorism.

Once again, I urge you to oppose the REAL ID Act of 2005 (H.R. 418). I believe our borders can be protected and our security ensured through proper responses to critical needs, not misguided proposals on a nationalized driver's licenses and new requirements for people fleeing persecution.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.

The majority of illegals entering this country are not escaping persecution and those that are still need to enter legally. As usual the ACLU is grasping at straws to prevent us from protecting ourselves and the sovereignty of our nation.

It is particularly interesting that they pretend to be concerned about the plight of Christians in the Sudan while waging their own domestic persecution of Christian symbols, values and morals in this country. The very name of God is anathema to this group and if they could they would expunge it from our heritage.

Then, there is the nonsense about the denial of a driver's license leading to an increase in insurance rates. Allowing someone to be licensed, does not mean they will become insured and since illegals have already proven they have no regard for the law what is the guarantee they will abide by insurance requirements? That is why our insurance rates have already increased to "protect" us from uninsured motorists.

The statement about securing our borders by "proper responses to critical needs" is vague and in reality meaningless. Our borders are in a crisis, our nation is at war and the REAL ID Act is one positive way to respond to those needs. As usual, the ACLU offers nothing concrete to deal with the issue because it does not see porous borders as a problem. It would love nothing more than for us to continue to be overrun by criminals and saboteurs. The ACLU delights in striking down laws under the pretext of protecting us from our own elected legislators or attacking the very rules that the vast majority of us have voted into being. Tyranny of the minority is the rule of thumb for the ACLU and it is their atheistic, socialist thumb that they wish to have us under.

Do as they ask! Send letters to your representatives and senators but tell them you want the Real ID Act, our borders secured, the illegals expelled and,while you're at it, tell them how sick you are of the ACLU.

Tell them, not only are you for the REAL ID Act, but you're also for Representative John Hostettler's (IN) bill H. R. 2679, the Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005. The bill seeks to amend the federal law which threatens constitutionally protected expression of religion by State and local officials resulting from the threat of potential litigants seeking monetary damages and attorney fees. In lieu of attorney fees under Title 42, United States Code, Chapter 1988, a civil action brought under 42 USC 1979 alleging a violation of the Constitution’s establishment of religion clause would be limited to the sole remedy of injunctive relief and not reimbursement of attorneys' fees.

That ought to take the wind out of the sails of the ACLU along with some of the gold in her hold.

Scotty, Beam Me Up

Let's see, a day or two earlier you could kill them in the womb and not violate their human rights. Today, however, we're worried about cooing! Oh, those sophisticated Europeans, they have one leg up on us again. Not to worry, the judicial system in America will incorporate this wisdom into our laws and we will stamp out this vile cooing practice among the ignorant in this country. Oh, the inhumanity of it all!


A West Yorkshire hospital has banned visitors from cooing at new-born babies over fears their human rights are being breached and to reduce infection.

A statement from Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax said staff had held an advice session to highlight the need for respect and dignity for patients.
On one ward there is a doll featuring the message: "What makes you think I want to be looked at?"

Debbie Lawson, neo-natal manager at the hospital's special care baby unit, said: "Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you or me.

New Orleans Leaders And Louis Farrakhan

Yesterday I wrote about NOPD Superintendent Eddie Compass and his ties to Louis Farrakhan. Well, now the other shoe drops and we have the connection between Ray Nagin and the Nation of Islam leader. No wonder New Orleans is in so much trouble. With this kind of devisive, paranoid and unstable leadership they were doomed to failure. I'm sure this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Racially polarizing Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan claimed on Friday that he had a private meeting with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, where Nagin gave him the information that Farrakhan later used to claim New Orleans' levees had been deliberately blown up.

Speaking to a gathering of his supporters in Memphis while promoting his upcoming Millions More March, Farrakhan said he met with Nagin in Dallas, Texas where the New Orleans mayor has relocated his family.

"We did a whirlwind tour where we hired a chartered jet, we flew to Dallas, Texas - members of the Millions More Movement - where we met with Mayor Nagin," Farrakhan claimed, in videotape of his Memphis speech posted to his Millions More Movement web site Tuesday.

It was during that meeting, Farrakhan said, where he obtained evidence that he would later use to claim New Orleans' levees were blown up.

Do The Poisoned Entrails Go On The Long Form?

Can you take off double for toil and trouble?

Yes, let's keep looking at that international law, because those Europeans are so sophisticated. Looney Tune Alert!!!

A Dutch witch has won her battle to make the cost of her brooms and spell-making lessons tax-deductable.

Tax officials finally agreed that the un-named woman could declare the cost of her overheads against tax.

Earlier, a court at Leeuwarden ruled that her witching overheads were not tax deductable, reports De Telegraaf.

The witch was a student of a witchcraft school in Appelscha which charges about £1,500 for a 13 weekend course.

Teacher Margarita Drongen said witches were taught how to make spells, prepare magic portions and heal with stones.

Empty Heads Will Roll

Eddie Compass, the police superintendent of New Orleans has resigned. He leaves a department plagued by allegations of brutality and corruption. A department beset by desertions, disorganization and sadly, even looting during the hurricane.

Does anyone remember that this was the guy who wanted to bring in the security chief for the Nation of Islam to conduct "sensitivity" training. Only a few months ago, he was prepared to pay Louis Farrakhan's man, Dennis Muhammad, $15,000 to train the NOPD. Farrakhan, has called whites "blue eyed devils" and Jews "bloodsuckers". How can his security chief have any credibility in racial sensitivity?

This should have been clue #1 in the assessment of Eddie's leadership abilities. The training never happened because of the public outcry. There are many black Catholics in NO and I'm sure they weren't thrilled about Farakhan's comment regarding the previous pope: "you know that cracker, somebody need to raise that dress up and see what's really under there."

If Eddie could be that clueless, how could he have been expected to help lead a city in a time of real crisis? When we allow men of little integrity and wisdom to lead, the outcome will inevitably be disaster.

McCain Perfecting The Kerry Flip-Flop

As he prepares his run for the presidency, John McCain works at mastering the duplicity of the donks. Knowing that he will probably be running against the double-dealing black belt Hillary, John is attempting to hone his skills. What other reason could there be for pretending to have one set of feelings, yet acting under the influence of another?

Aides to Sen. John McCain have confirmed that the 2008 presidential hopeful will meet with anti-American war protester Cindy Sheehan, possibly later today.

The McCain-Sheehan confab represents something of a flip-flop for the Arizona maverick.

Just last month he said Bush was right not to meet with Sheehan, telling the Tucson Citizen, "If I was president of the United States, I probably wouldn't."

The same day, McCain told the Arizona Star that Sheehan "is probably being used" by anti-war groups.

San Antonio, Becoming Latest Chapter Of ACLU

Long time American Civil Liberties Union attorney Michael Bernard has been formally nominated to become the next San Antonio City Attorney.

He has been First Assistant Bexar County District Attorney for the past six years, but before that, Bernard led the opposition to the city's youth curfew and other measures designed to stop a crime wave in the early nineties.

They contaminate our newspapers, our courtrooms, our schools and our government. The insidious ACLU is everywhere, spreading its poison in the name of liberty.

Phil Hardberger, the mayor of San Antonio, has been pushing to get Bernard so the he can have a partner in his "soft on crime" agenda. God help the good folks of San Antonio.

ACLU, Spinning The News

There is a really good piece at NewsBusters, "Is St. Petersburg Times Paying a
'Living Wage'?"

Quote:

"I recently heard Bill O'Reilly opine that the St. Petersburg Times is the worst newspaper in the United States. I immediately thought that must be hyperbole... until I started reading it. One need read no further than this column by ACLU director turned St. Petersburg Times columnist Robyn E. Blumner."

And, here's the part I love, because it speaks volumes about the subversive nature of the ACLU.

Quote:

"As an aside, how improper is it of Ms. Blumner to be writing about (more here, and here, and here) a leftist organization that she used to direct without disclosing that fact to readers?"

Yes, how improper...SOP for the ACLU.

Monkey Business And The ACLU

Even as far back as the Scopes trial, the ACLU was up to its usual antics. The Birdman has a great post on this at his site.

Here's a short excerpt: "Forgotten in all of this was John T. Scopes. What did Mr. Scopes get out of this spectacle? Most accounts say that he gave up teaching, attempting to leave the impression that Scopes was hounded out of the profession by the strain of the case. Actually, the ACLU paid for Scopes to attend graduate school at the University of Chicago. This expensive perk is left unmentioned by most of those who comment on the trial. Scopes became a successful petroleum engineer in later years."
