Tunnel Vision In Washington

According to the LA Times, Customs and Border Protection officials have reported that it will take about $2.7 million to fill the tunnels under our border that have been dug by Mexicans to illegally smuggle people and drugs into our country.

Not only is it a big job to fill these rat holes, but some of them run under the private property of US citizens.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, lefty looney toon, thinks the border agency should find the money in its budget to plug these security risks. "The department should move, find money, and do it," Feinstein said. "This is a huge department with a huge budget. And if they don't have the money, they should tell us, and we will seek to get it in the emergency supplemental."

The question, Dianne, is why should the American taxpayer assume the cost to fix the vandalism inflicted by Mexican nationals? Why are we not giving the bill to the Mexican government or deducting the cost from the billions in aid we give them? Why is there no attempt to recoup the public and private financial loss of American citizens?When will someone in Washington take their oath seriously and, once again, protect and defend these United States?

Dirty Harry Reid Cleans Up In Arizona

Dirty Harry Reid seems to have been caught doing it again. Despite all the vows about honest government, he keeps getting involved in questionable practices. He doesn't seem to comprehend that if you are going to nominate yourself as the paragon of virtuous, good leadership, your actions must be beyond reproach.

Here now, the latest from the LA Times. "It's hard to buy undeveloped land in booming northern Arizona for $166 an acre. But now-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid effectively did just that when a longtime friend decided to sell property owned by the employee pension fund that he controlled."

That's the opening, read the article for all the details. Those of you who persist in being mind controlled by the left will ignore it, the rest of us who are conservatives, or in some other way normal, will file it as Democrats "New Direction" material.

Milque-Toast Diplomacy

The Commander of the Arizona National Guard, Major General David Rataczak, will testify today before a homeland security committee of the state Legislature. He is expected to be questioned about the incident earlier this month when Guard troops fell back as armed men, wearing bulletproof vests, approached their post near the Mexican border. The Guard contacted the Border Patrol who were unable to locate the invaders.

"As I learn more about this, I am more alarmed about this situation," said Republican Representative Warde Nichols of Chandler, the committee chairman, who believes the troops should have captured the gunmen.

The National Guard seems to have done as it was instructed and therefore it is difficult to fault them. The real fault is with the Federal Government that uses the Guard for "show" and seems to think it is completely acceptable for armed incursions to occur along our border at regular intervals. Is no one appalled that gun toting foreigners are crossing into US territory as they wish and no one in Mexico is held to account for it? Where is the outcry from the media?

What pathetic Milque-toasts we have as "leaders". Teddy Roosevelt must be spinning in his grave.

We Get it, Kerry's the Joke

Did Kerry botch another joke or are we to take him seiously this time? Now, Kerry criticized what he called the "unfortunate habit" of Americans to see the world "exclusively through an American lens." Those of us who are "real" Americans would do that as opposed to the "gifted" like Kerry who can look through the lenses of Benedict Arnold, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Genghis Khan etc. etc. etc.

"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said. Well, who could fault kerry's expertise in duplicity and hypocrisy? Perhaps the Clinton's, but just about no one else.

Will someone, anyone shut up this arrogant pompous buffoon?

It's Just A Matter Of Time

While our politicians vie for the power not to protect our nation, the debacle at our borders continues unabated. By way of the Daily Bulletin comes this little piece that should keep us all from sleeping soundly tonight.

On September 5th, near Mexico, the Border Patrol apprehended a man calling himself Miguel Alfonso Salinas along with three other illegals. Nothing unusual until you find out that Salinas lied about who he was, where he came from and what he was doing. You see, Miguel Alfonso Salinas was actually Ayman Sulmane Kamal, an Egyptian Muslim.

This is not an isolated incident. According to the Border Patrol, in 2005 they apprehended approximately 1.2 million people in the U.S. illegally. That detail is staggering enough, but 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico, and roughly 650 were, from countries of "special interest", like Egypt.

The article also states, that DEA intelligence reports, the link between terrorism and narcotics has been well known since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Yet, getting our politicians to address the danger is impossible because most of them won't even acknowledge what is happening along the U.S. border. The intrusions on American soil by the Mexican military is a perfect example.

Inept and ill-informed idiots, like Silvestre Reyes (D-El Paso) head of the House Intelligence Committee, refuse to confront the issues or even allow themselves to become educated as to the dangers to America.

Read the entire article and if you are not deeply troubled and concerned, then you are part of America's problem.

Jimmy's Secret Solution

Well, the evidence of Jimmy Carter's anti-semitic attitude is starting to pile up. According to an article in WorldNetDaily, Monroe Freedman, the former executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Council, Carter once complained it consisted of "too many Jews." He also said a noted Holocaust scholar who was a Presbyterian Christian was rejected from the council's board by Carter's office because the scholar's name "sounded too Jewish."

Add to this the recent revelation by The New York Sun that Jimmy interceded on behalf of the Nazi prison guard, Martin Bartesch, and his recent anti-Israel book and Carter's motives start looking mighty suspect.

The chief Nazi hunter and director of the Jerusalem Office of the Simon Weisenthal Center, Efraim Zuroff, told the Sun that "Carter was never particularly sensitive on Jewish issues" and that the news of his appealing on behalf of a former Nazi "doesn't surprise" him. Mr. Zuroff described Mr. Carter's approach as "a classic case of misplaced sympathy syndrome."

That's about as nice as you can say it, but the truth is Carter seems to think there are "too many Jews," and seems to have a pattern of coming to the defense of those who would reduce their number.

Kerry Cuts Another Tour Short

On Wednesday John Kerry announced he would not bumble into the 2008 presidential race. Once again, changing his mind and attempting to cover up the truth he said he wanted to spend the next two years making up for the fact that he had voted the wrong way in 2002.

Still, on the Senate floor, in a moment of Kerry wistfulness reminiscent of his Cambodian Christmas fantasies, he said, "We came close, certainly close enough to try again." Choking back crocodile tears, he continued, "But I have concluded this isn't the time to mount a presidential campaign. We have to find a way to end this misguided war and bring our troops back home."

Of course dropping out had nothing to do with the fact that he can't compete with Hillary, Obama or even John Edwards. No, Kerry wants us to believe he is sacrificing for the greater good by staying in the Senate to remain a pimple on the butt of progress. If he really wanted to do America a favor, he'd do a "you won't have John Kerry to kick around anymore" speech and fade away for good.

Taste more of Kerry's waffle syrup at The Boston Globe.

Why Are They Smiling?

While George W. is laughing with the Democrats and proposing an amnesty that is not an amnesty because he won't call a spade a spade, the nation continues to be overrun by illegals. According to this article, more than 750 were arrested this weekend in metro LA alone. Despite the efforts to smear those who would protect this nation's sovereignty as racists, the truth will come out. These are not just Mexicans or other Hispanics; those arrested included illegals from India, the Ukraine, Japan and Poland.

AP went along on the raids and reports the arrest of a 29-year-old illegal immigrant wanted for a driving-under-the-influence conviction. The Feds are now looking for his brother, a registered sex offender. At another stop, the agents were looking for a convicted rapist and immigration fugitive. Instead, they arrested six men who could not provide legal papers and discovered that all six were illegal and four had criminal records.The rapist they were after had moved out the week before.

While Border Patrol agents are incarcerated in solitary confinement and drug smugglers are rewarded and set free, our president, our speaker of the house and the jackals that attend them both smile. I can only surmise they are so pleased with the success of their treachery, they cannot contain their delight. Other than that, with the Republic on the verge of destruction, what reason is there to smile?

Same Bombs, Different Target

There's really nothing out of the ordinary about this news from ynet. A bomb exploded in the Gaza strip, just another one of the islamomaniacs acts of insanity. This one was at the offices of the Saudi owned TV channel, al-Arabiya. It is believed the station was attacked because of a report aired last week in which the Palestinian Prime Minister and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said, "Even if God sets conditions for us, we will reject this."

This, of course, was sufficient to justify death and destruction, a favorite pastime of both Hamas and Fatah the intellectual repositories of great Muslim thought and political action for the Palestinians. According to the ynet article, Hamas supporters refer to al-Arabiya TV as 'al-Ibriya', meaning 'the Hebraic' in Arabic instead of 'the Arab', accusing the news channel of promoting American and Israeli interests in the Middle East. Oh, those clever Arab satirists, what will they come up with next?

Looters Are Only Scavengers

It's amazing how the media participates with the looney liberals in trying to make lawbreaking seem like a trivial matter. There's always the illegal aliens becoming undocumented workers, but now they have transformed looters into scavengers.

Describing the outright theft of someone else's property, CNN has called the thieving vermin, scavengers, making light of the fact that they are robbing innocent people. Go here and read it for yourself. I long for the days when we used to shoot the kind of scum that take advantage of someone else's disaster.

Clinton II: The Other Side (2008)

THEY'RE BACK

Warning! This news is not for the faint of heart. Virtually the whole cast will be back for this sequel which will feature the return of corruption, conspiracy and criminal mayhem to the White House.

Hillary has announced her evil desires to replace Bill as the star anti-hero of the Democrat party. "I'm in. And I'm in to win," cackled Clinton.

If she wins, we lose. Although the way it's beginning to pan out, no matter who wins, America loses.

Loco Legislator Targets Minutemen

Here in Arizona, one of our resident illegal loving, leftwingers, Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat from Phoenix, has intoduce HB 2286 in the Arizona House. This bill is designed to target groups like the Minutemen and label them as domestic terrorists punishable by mandatory jail sentences.

Sinema, a former Green Party member, is a radical liberal of the worst kind. She has stated that women and moms who stay at home and don't work are dependent on men and "leeching off their husbands."She has called conservatives "Neanderthals" and has advocated public financing of campaigns to remove "overweight white men" in favor of candidates "more like myself, individuals of an oppressed minority." Kyrsten is bisexual and I guess she feels that qualifies her as a victim of society.

This is the same malicious moron that issued a press release accusing Sean Hannity of entering the US illegally. She was wrong about that, just as she is wrong about most everything else. It is bad enough that our government seems unconcerned about securing our borders from real and imminent terrorism, but to have a pernicious loose cannon like Sinema acting as a distraction and wasting precious time and resources is truly intolerable.

Say Goodnight Fritz

We just get through listening to the bigoted babblings of Jimmy Carter and along comes his veep Walter Mondale. Fritz is bad mouthing Dick Cheney's tactics and advice to the president.

Who is Mondale to criticize anyone? In 1984 this guy took the worst whuppin' of any Democrat presifential candidate, winning only the District of Columbia and his home state of Minnesota and that by only 3761 votes. He was rejected by a landslide vote.

Fritz is quoted as saying, "If I had done as vice president what this vice president has done, Carter would have thrown me out of there." Can you imagine fearing being thrown out of an office by a man who was terrorized by a bunny?

Mondale and Carter are like a third rate vaudeville comedy duo trying to have one last hurrah before they go to Forest lawn for their final act. Someone get the hook and pull these pathetic politicians off the world stage.

Jimmy Now Working For Habitat For Hamas

Jimmy Carter is at it again. The "help I'm talking and I can't shut" up former president and friend of tyrants and terrorists is using his favorite forum Al-Jazeera once again. This time he has declared that he does not consider Palestinian missile attacks on Israeli civilians to be terrorism. If only Jimmy were on the receiving end, then he could tell us if he felt terror as the rockets fell indiscriminately.

Jimmy is trying to defend his book of bigotry and lies and in doing so will say just about anything. Here's one quote, "I don't consider... I wasn't equating the Palestinian missiles with terrorism, but when the Palestinians commit terrorist acts, and I mean when a person blows himself up within a bus full of civilians, or when the target of the operation is women and children – such acts create a rejection of the Palestinians among those who care about them."

See Jimmy is concerned not about the immorality and inhumanity of such acts, but only how the Palestinians will be perceived by the world for them. His main issue with the targeting of the innocent is how it may make the killers less marketable.

In his Al-Jazeera propaganda piece, Carter accused Jewish American organizations for the criticism of his "work". He blames the Jews despite the resignation of fourteen members of the Carter Center advisory board who stated in their letter , "It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy," and because of this the advisers "can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position".

Historian Ken Stein, a senior Carter Center adviser, resigned a month ago and said the Carter book is "replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions, and simply invented segments."

If Jimmy keeps it up, Robert Byrd may invite him over to play dress up.

Hillary Reveals Obama's Muslim Roots

The Clinton machine has fired a salvo at Obama and it's a beauty. They have discovered that Barack was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia and attended a Madrassa there for four years. When contacted by Insight magazine, where this story was featured, Obama’s press secretary said he would consult with “his boss” and call back. He has not.

This information has major repercussions for Obama, not just because of the radical teaching (the Wahhabi doctrine) found in Indonesian Muslim schools, but because of the deception by Barack in not being more open and up front about this part of his life. Hillary will use this information for everything it's worth.

These next two years should be very entertaining!

It's Snow Use

You have to really enjoy the exchanges between WorldNetDaily and the White House. This morning, WND tells us that Bush believes assurances from Abbas that his Fatah followers will not use their US supplied weapons against Israel.

Following up on a reader submitted question, "Why do we continue to give aid to un-civilized people? When will we discern these people do not want peace but to wipe the State of Israel off the map and continually fire their rockets into Israel and smuggle arms from Eygpt thru tunnels often as they can get away with it…" WND questioned Tony Snow.

Here's part of what Snow said to WorldNet. "Prime Minister Abbas has made it clear and guarantees what we think are sufficient and clear that it is his desire to try to be able to negotiate with Israel effectively toward a two-state solution. And as you know, the United Nations right now is providing humanitarian aid that is supposed to be used, and is guaranteed to be used by audits and other follow-ups strictly for humanitarian purposes. That's how we would expect this aid to be spent,"

Now, if Snow and worse yet, the president, believe Abbas or that Abbas has control and if they also believe assurances from the UN then there is a special place for them in the cretins' hall of fame. Abbas is your typical duplicitous Middle East Arab leader who must talk out of both sides of his mouth just to remain alive or at the very least to stay in practice. The UN? Well, has anybody forgotten oil for food? The only thing you can count on the UN for is corruption, rape squads and more corruption.

The Snowman is melting under the heat of WND's interrogation lamp. Read the article.

Dennis the Menace To Decide What's Fair

Is there no end to the road signs of the Democrats' detour to damnation labeled as the "new direction"?

Now, Dennis the Menace Kucinich, will be be heading up a new House subcommittee which will focus on issues surrounding the FCC. At the National Conference for Media Reform last weekend, he said that the committee would be holding "hearings to push media reform right at the center of Washington.” Is this frightening enough for everyone? Understand that this Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee (what a name) is going to focus on bringing back the "Fairness" Doctrine so the left can freely spew its swill that no one will pay to hear (reference Air America).

Kucinich said in his speech that "We know the media has become the servant of a very narrow corporate agenda" and added "we are now in a position to move a progressive agenda to where it is visible." Read progressive as leftwing, socialist propaganda rammed down your throat, like it or not.

Beware the crazy congressman from Ohio who plans to run for the presidency again in 2008 for he is beloved by the criminally insane ward of the Democrat asylum. This is the guy who wants to create a cabinet level Department of Peace and eliminate the Patriot Act among other lunatic legislation. Ah, the "new direction" into the land of madness.

Donks Detour South

Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee and Zoe Lofgren

More "new direction" is coming our way, this time its southerly. Zoe Lofgren, liberal pro illegal alien Democrat from California is taking over the House subcommittee on immigration.

This from The Boston Globe: "I like to believe that if everybody can lower their voice, just stop yelling and go through the issues one by one, that we can come to consensus," said Lofgren, whose subcommittee will serve as a starting point for the immigration debate. "I have this hope that we can produce a practical and bipartisan bill that gets broad support." Translation, get ready for amnesty and the complete destruction of American sovereignty.

Lofgren serves on the Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment as well as the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims. In her previous life before politics she was an immigration lawyer. No wonder we can't secure the borders.

Yes, the "new direction" is to the south both literally and figuratively, as we are assimilated by Mexico and sent straight to third world hell.
