Bush Floats Major Pb Balloon

Will Middle-America see alien amnesty as a betrayal?

The question has appeared again. Whether we should declare everyone who has leapfrogged into the country illegally (without waiting their turn) as citizens without regard if they happen to want it or not, or we abide by the one thing that brings them here to begin with: a stable democracy built on the rule of law.

 

The argument for allowing more illegal aliens (reminiscent of that made by proponents of slavery in the 19^th century) has been that their cheap labor is good for the economy.

 

However the very notion of amnesty and legalization will remove the very cheap-labor base the proponents claim will be permanently created. (Nevermind the cruelty of any scheme that wishes to create a pernanent group of people present soley for near-slave status, where it will be contrary to the very interests of the powers that brought them in to encourage upward movement.)

 

So the question on the table that Bush and Secretary of State Powell are now floating, along with Mexican President Vicente Fox is the official resettlement of people Fox for possibly a host of reasons no longer wishes to care for in his own country. This is of course not a new idea. And most recently back in August the Liberal New York Times called on the GOP to embrace amnesty.

 

I’ve been thinking long and hard about this since I happen to live in Texas, a state which had to shed blood with Fox’s predecessors just to remain autonomous, which was something that history points out left some bitter feelings on the losing side even until today. But I’ve come to a conclusion about our happy newcomers that even surprised myself.

 

This scheme of Mr. Bush and Señor Fox is actually perfectly fine, so long as the following minimal prerequisites are met by prospective citizens:

 

Uno: That they be taught how to behave like civilized first-worlders and attentive citizens. No more permissive attitudes toward drinking and driving, littering and loitering.

 

Dos: They must learn to use the language of commerce spoken all across the world in its home country: English. Perhaps if many of these new citizens realized that Spanish was the language forced on their Indian forefathers who were forced to speak that language as well as convert to Catholicism, they might have a slightly different attitude about it. English is the language of freedom and also importantly, the language of our laws and Bill or Rights, both of which they need to know for their own protection.

 

In other words, President Bush and those in big business have been feeding a stray puppy behind the house for a really long time and now they want to keep it. I admit that in some respects it is a cute puppy, but if we're going to keep that puppy, he has got to learn not to pee in the house.

 

 

Currently, many working illegals earn no more than $6000 a year. Since one of their strengths is their large, cohesive families, it doesn’t begin to cover the cost of living or healthcare for family members not generating income, such as grandma and grandpa, the kiddies or momma. So add about $15 billion a year in social services for the lot.

 

Add to that the cost of unemployment, healthcare and other social services for the 1,880,000 American workers who are displaced from their jobs every year by immigration, according to research done by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

 

The National Academe of Sciences has found that illegal immigration costs the taxpayer between $166 and $226 annually. That comes to 15 to 20 billion dollars a year, outweighing the benefits which are somewhere between one to ten billion annually and which overwhelmingly benefit larger corporate interests - and even that only in the short term.

 

Benefiting businesses that is, unless you are in the medical profession: Hospitals across the Southwest have been forced to close their doors forever because they cannot afford the costs of treating so many uninsured patients with last-minute crisis conditions, which the institutions are compelled to accept by federal mandate.

 

Another cost: 30% of our federal prison population are illegal aliens. Illegal aliens only make up less than 10% of people in the United States, but make up three times as many federal felons. They are costing the U.S. criminal justice system over 500 million dollars per year. Better that they should rot in Mexican jails, n'est ce pas?

 

We are generally not getting Mexico's best and brightest, we are not getting their college graduates, their IT specialists or their scientists. We are nearly always getting the people even Mexico, a third-world country, doesn't want, a vast number of whom wind up in prison. A percentage among their numbers which would be staggering if equal among other groups. And because they come in illegally we don't know what their background is, if they are wanted by the law in Mexico, if they are deadbeat dads, gang members, drug dealers, murderers or sex offenders. But we do know they are all willing to break the law.

 

The standard argument by proponents of open borders is that these are by and large good, “family-values” people. But even the "good" ones are causing an environmental disaster, leaving a trail of non-biodegradable bottles, jugs, bags, boxes and other trash along their way, and more once they get here. Oddly enough also somehow getting a pass from the liberal elite environmental activists who show again how selective they are in applying their purported beliefs.

Teddy Roosevelt would be rolling over in his grave.

 

Another alarming trend: Many of those who do not have a criminal past in Mexico become part of the crime problem once they sneak in. Perhaps that is just because the very act of crossing illegally without consequence teaches a certain number among them they can act with impunity and that we'll have them no matter what because our greedy corporations want to enslave them. It also teaches them to hold contempt for our country- not exactly a model candidate for citizenship. They often act out by drinking and driving, driving without a license, committing child neglect, littering, loitering and disturbing the peace.

 

The cost from 911 responses due to this alone should nearly outweigh any profits their enslavers keep for themselves. The cost from jailing and hospital time is also a big factor, as I’ve already mentioned.

 

Many ask how we will be able to afford deporting these illegal aliens and forcing them to follow the law in applying for citizenship or guest-worker status. I ask, how can we afford not to?

 

Vicente Fox argues the Bush administration must act now with amnesty because next year will provide, “a window of opportunity, given that neither of our countries will be in elections.” A statement that in itself shows a less-than honorable desire to circumvent the will of not only the American people, but apparently the Mexican people as well.

 

But an opportunity for what in Fox’s mind is the question. The past five years have seen well over 115 documented border incursions by the Mexican army, many of them were violent and used deadly force against our border agents. Now whether these militias are acting on an official basis or are acting on bribes from drug lords and snake heads, that, along with the 50-80% of illegal drugs coming across the border carried by Mexican nationals should be reason enough to not only enforce the border, but to know whom exactly we are dealing with individually when talking amnesty.

 

America is in danger of losing the poverty war for the first time in over a century, not to mention losing the drug war and possibly even the war on Terrorism. But worse yet, unrestrained, uncontrolled immigration without assimilation threatens those very immigrants with the very real possibility that in the end of the day they will only move from poverty in one country to poverty in another, providing no greater hope for their children. I say this as one who has Mexican blood in his own family.

 

Truly this corporate-alien arrangement is a most sick and dysfunctional one - and needs to be stopped at any cost.

 

Many in Congress oppose any amnesty program, but we need to let them know that we do too- and that we feel strongly about it. We also need to let President Bush know our position on this, those of us who live on the front lines as it were, and are bearing the brunt of an unregulated and unmitigated human influx.

Europe: The World’s Newest Emerging Slum?

The tales of a continent smothered by 19^th Century socialism

Recently the leaders of China declared the 21^st century though to become many things, would not be America’s century. One of China’s top foreign policy strategists, Qian Qichen also stated the US was “incapable of realizing the goal." He obviously doesn’t know much about Americans, and it is more likely that the goals and aspirations of the Chinese Communist Party for the next century will be the ones which fail, and fail due to the rigors of its subjects yearning to be free.

 

But if one were merely to calculate who the greatest losers of the century among all of the chief economic competitor nations might be simply based upon current performance one might find that to the surprise of many Europeans 20 years ago, it's their own continent which is clearly sinking into disrepair. A slide which could in a century or so leave its member nations on the verge of almost another Dark Ages in human enterprise and freedom of thought, unless a corrective course is taken, much as was done in 1980 when America threw off its malaise and tossed out the failed policies of ideas followed by such as Democrat Jimmy Carter, learning thereafter that the best way to deal with stagnation is by facing it head-on.

 

Europe can't grow its way out of second-world political and economic status because its largest economies”, Nicole Gelinas of the New York Post today writes, “ —Germany and France — won't deregulate labor markets and won't open up tightly controlled economies to new industries and new immigrants. And nothing will change until European citizens allow their politicians to ease this suffocating government vise-grip on the economy — and to reform the continent's cradle-to-grave welfare state.

 

The Europeans glumly admit that they are now wedged between a powerhouse America and an emerging Asia. Modest efforts to grow out of the economic squeeze have foundered, due to "misunderstanding, reluctance and even opposition," European Commission President Romano Prodi told the International Herald-Tribune last week.

..

 As a headliner in today’s Deutsche Welle points out,

           

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, great things were predicted for the city that had been scarred by the barrier for nearly three decades. But 15 years later, Berlin is still far from meeting the rosy business forecasts.

 

As we learned before the Walls of Communism came down, both enterprise and the freedom of the human spirit are always linked and no permanent prosperity ever grows out of oppressive totalitariates or bureaucracies. Something China will soon learn but that Europe seems to have already sadly forgotten.

 

In Germany’s case, things changed quickly after the Wall in Berlin came down, but Bonn’s forecasts largely appear today based on the false assumption the newly integrated East Germans (Ossies) would also assimilate and unlearn the destructive philosophies and habits imposed upon them from Kindergarten in the DDR.

Though those Ossies yearned to be free from the oppressive regime they knew to be wrong, they did not fully understand, nor were they taught exactly why, it would seem and because of such being creatures of habit their Social Net and work-performance expectations helped to recast the mold of the newly reunified Germany’s politics.

 

Not soon thereafter was the Christian Democratic Union of Pro-West Helmut Kohl reduced to opposition party status, replaced by the newly invigorated Social Democrat Party of Gerhardt Schroeder, followed by a radical realignment of German power not seen for decades both internally as well as on the global front.

 

Suddenly years later, Germany finds itself in a stagnant economy (with a GDP growth rate of 0.2% in 2002), a looming collapse of its pension system, a government laden with corrupt foreign and domestic entanglements and a loss of the moral clarity that so impassioned West Germans against terrorism and tyranny throughout the Cold War era, as exemplified by their sentiment towards not only the Berlin Wall and the regime which placed it there, but against the very idea of an ideology that could take a human life simply because it yearned to determine its own future or simply because that life belonged to a particular ethnic or religious group.

 

And so today some Germans – a full one fifth of those surveyed now think it wasn’t such a good idea after all tearing down that wall. Jaded by the policies of a government 20 years ago overrun with emotion, too quick to pretend normalcy had descended after the Wall fell and soon vanquished from power due to that error. But many in Germany today are now waking up to the fact that a return to that love of Freedom and unshackled enterprise and ideas which brought the Wall down and rebuilt Germany into a global power before that, were things much too quickly tossed aside for the sake of “einheit ohne klarheit” – or the notion of collective agreement over moral rightness. The self-same mentality which has caused the Germans – who should know better – to follow the French government’s lead on many if not all things foreign and domestic. Something even some in France are beginning to lean against.

 

Gelinas continues,

 

“The American neoconservatives have their imitators in Europe,” the head of France's Socialist Party warned last Thursday. And the voices of those “imitators” won't be silenced. “It is time to understand that France's business can't be measured by the number of Airbuses sold to China,” opposition party head Alain Madelin said.

 

Madelin — and others like him — may gain more listeners as stubborn France now flails desperately for a way to somehow put Bush in his place. But even as Europeans accept the global political reality of the next four years — “C'est Bush” — most continue to delay this inevitable economic reality.

 

And according to the Deutsche Welle report on Berlin 15 years today after reunification,

 

While several areas of Berlin today literally sparkle with vigor and possibility, such as the glass and chrome towers of Potsdamer Platz or the splashy facades of boutiques on Friedrichstraße, under the surface lurks a serious case of economic malaise. The boutiques on Friedrichstraße are usually empty, the landlords of Potsdamer Platz's skyscrapers cannot find tenants.

 

Few in Berlin can afford to shop in the high-end stores. Figures from September show 17.4 percent of Berliners are unemployed and more than 171,000 receive some kind of welfare check. 

 

And the national picture, as well as that of most of the EU appears just as, or even more bleak.

 

But the irony for the governments in Europe at present is the simple fact that the very many which they so very much wanted to lose and whom they considered ignorant and disattached from the times, U.S. President Bush, is actually leading the pack globally with domestic reforms that will prevent what appears to be in Europe’s not-too-distant future.

 

Gelinas:

 

So Bush's second-term mandate for Europe is: Change economically, or admit your political irrelevance.

 

And in Europe the voice in the wilderness grows stronger:

 

“We cannot permit ourselves any more excuses, illusions or escape . . . the Europeans must not make anti-Americanism their ideology,” Le Monde editorialized. The French now know they must reconcile their growing cognitive dissonance with external action.

 

At least some, a growing number, admit there is a problem. Meanwhile the French leadership and the SDP party-controlled government in Germany still choose instead to shoot the messenger for now. However one can always hope the best for the people.

MEANWHILE: from across town in one of those Democrat-controlled success stories

 

 

Well, the polls are slowly coming in but many more folks have yet to vote. I voted earlier this morning in my precinct and it went smoothly. We have a politically mixed precinct, but all were friendly, cordial and mutually helpful. Officials were also requesting ID's of voters, in accordance with state law. Of course, motor-voter may make some votes a little more shady. For example, one voter said she may have seen Vincente Fox coming out of one booth...

 

However I do offer three pieces of advice for any patriotic American who will be going in to vote today.

 

1. Smile and be friendly

 

2. Punch any Democrat/traitor-sponsored/bribed visiting UN observer you see at your poll in the face. (Well okay, just publicly berate them on every topic from politics to their ridiculous sense of fashion, to asking them how the elections in Cuba are going this year)

 

3. Find some friends and get ready to enjoy the election returns as they come in tonight

Putin Padovis!

 

 

Washington Times: Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned. John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, “almost certainly” removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad. – According to Drudge.

 

The Times site is presently swamped with hits, so more to come later.

 

 

 

UPDATE: 07:01

 

Of course, if we honestly expect the Russians to "explain" what they were doing, we really need to tighten our drinking water standards.

 

Now, according to the Financial Times of London, France may have helped out as well.

 

John Shaw, deputy under-secretary of defense: "For nearly nine months my office has been aware of an elaborate scheme set up by Saddam Hussein to finance and disguise his weapons purchases through his international suppliers, principally the Russians and French.

 

"That network included a major effort employing various Russian units on the eve of hostilities to both orchestrate the collection of munitions and assure their transport out of Iraq via Syria."

 

FT goes on to quote White House spokesman Scott McClellan, calling the matter a "very real possibility".

Diplomat denies Russia helded Saddam move weapons

 

MOSCOW. Oct 28 (Interfax) - Russian Charge d'Affaires to Iraq Ilya Morgunov expressed surprise over an article published in a U.S. newspaper alleging that Russian special services aided the former Iraqi regime in taking explosives out of the country.

 

"These reports have greatly surprised me. Let them remain on the conscience of those who have circulated them," Morgunov told Interfax from Baghdad on Thursday.

 

Morgunov said he personally witnessed events preceding the beginning of the military action in Iraq. "I didn't hear about any weapons to be taken out. Moreover, there was nobody to take them out,, because we actually evacuated all of our personnel," he said.

 

NOTE: Typos were in the original report, possibly due to too much Vodka on occasion of the mounting implications from all of this…

 

 

Props to American Warmonger who linked to the Interfax story, along with several other news links, blogs and great resources, including a surprisingly fair one from the horse's mouth.

 

 

Michelle Malkin also reminds us about how the Russians,

 

GPS jammers sold to Iraq caused trouble for our forces in the early days of the invasion. President Bush privately lashed out at Russian president Vladimir Putin; the administration went public on March 24 2003 with the information. But it didn't deter Russia, which also supplied night-vision goggles, technical support, and Kornet-E missiles to Iraq, among other weapons and goods that endangered American troops.

 

The source she cites is Bill Gertz' new book, Treachery. Gertz also broke today’s Washington Times story. Malkin also points out this is not the first time Syria’s name has been mentioned in connection with Iraqi Convoys. And she predicts a likely personal attack-response to all of this from Gertz’ critics.

The Hanoi Candidate

Recently discovered docs show Kerry received marching orders directly from VC while meeting in Paris

 

 

1993: Sen. John Kerry meeting with general secretary of the North

Vietnamese Communist Party, Comrade Do Muoi

 

John Kerry had claimed he only “happened“ to be in Paris at the time and met with “both sides“ (keep an eye on the legality of even that excuse), but previously unearthed documents show that Kerry traveled to Paris “to meet with Viet Cong leader Madame Nguyen Thi Binh“ several times during that period, the Worldnet Daily report says.

 

The report also cites newly discovered documents connecting the US anti-war groups Vietnam Veterans Against the war, the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice and the American Communist Party to direction by, and coordination with VC operatives including one scathing account of Hanoi’s direct involvement mentioned in papers said to be captured from VC in 1971:

 

Of the U.S. antiwar movements, the two most important ones are: The PCPJ ((the People's Committee for Peace and Justice)) and the NPAC ((National Peace Action Committee)). These two movements have gathered much strength and staged many demonstrations. The PCPJ is the most important. It maintains relations with us.

 

According to WND,

 

One freshly unearthed document, captured by the U.S. from Vietnamese communists in 1971, indicates the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used as the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other antiwar activists who attended.

 

The documents were said to be recently discovered by Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth’s Jerome Corsi who is the co-author of  "Unfit for Command," and Scott Swett, the group’s webmaster (Wintersoldier.com.) Corsi says the documents are “100 percent” authenticated, however no word as yet regarding the nature of any independent verification – a necessary thing in an election year, as we’ve learned. Corsi says they were surpringly uncovered at Texas Tech University's Vietnam-era archive in Lubbock, during their search. The documents are among millions of others stored in the archive. Corsi says the timing of the discovery was only providencial.

 

Kerry has yet to apologize to veterans for his 1971 accusations that all U.S. Vietnam veterans were war criminals. When pressed during a phone conversation with one of the Swift Vets against Kerry, Kerry dug his hole a little deeper by clarifying his continued position: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."

 

Whoa, that was a relief…

 

So far John Kerry is the only Vet from that era who has admitted to committing war crimes (the dirty little secret is his crimes were against U.S. troops), and who not only sided with the enemy, but actively worked overtime for the enemy while still in uniform. This begs the question (yet again) of whether a known war-criminal (now a double-entendre) should be elected Commander-in-Chief - especially in wartime.

Did Churchill Really Consider Seeking Terms of Coexistence with Germany?

New documents just unearthed say he may have

 

A book to be published next month cites new documents its author says he found while doing research for the book. In it, Churchill is said to have considered in top-secret documents the costs and benefits of negotiating with the Germans – something he publicly swore he would not do, says a recent story out of the UK.

 

“Churchill was at pains to say in his memoirs that he was never going to negotiate with Germany, but it is clear that in 1940 he had not ruled out talking to a non-Hitler German government. Here was a man who was looking into the abyss,” says the author, Cambridge Professor David Reynolds, who also says the documents reveal new insights into the Wartime Prime Minister’s feelings for Communist dictator, Josef Stalin and possible doubts about the effectiveness of the D-Day plans.

 

At one point, according to the story, Churchill offers a dark but personally-candid response to General Hastings Ismay's seeming optimism during a conversation in the early part of the war - a response that certainly reveals a more mortal side of this Free World hero, but not one difficult to identify with - 

 

Ismay: We will win the Battle of Britain.

 

Churchill: You and I will be dead in three months’ time.   

 

The book clearly shows the decisive impact the United States and the USSR made on the war with Germany and that had either not joined the fight, Britain might well have faced a not too appealing set of options. Her only hope: a German coupe and an honorable negotiation with the new German leaders.

 

Reynolds also pokes fun at Churchill’s later muffling of his alternate D-Day plans once he wrote his memoirs after the war. At the time though, Churchill did cede that the American plan might be better, and as history points out, did not debate extensively on the matter. But the report also points out this was at worst, one of the leader's very few wartime "mistakes" as British allied effort.

 

The report published in yesterday’s Independent of London states the author of the book also says Churchill was more trusting of Soviet Dictator Stalin, than later recounted. No quotes were given, but perhaps Sir Churchill decided to take at least one of Stalin’s philosophies to heart: keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

 

Professor Reynolds’ book, “In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing in the Second World War“, published by Penguin, will be available in the UK on November 4. No word in the story when the book is expected to become available in the US.

Why you should regularly clean the dust bunnies (or, dog hair bunnies) out of your computer if you have a pet:

 

 

 

That beauty looks as if it’s been around for awhile, but it’s just a baby – two months old to be exact – too young to even be hunted by John Kerry in most states, but probably about as challenging for him to catch.

 

For computers, dust bunnies can be not so good a thing. They clog air vents and cause overheating, which in turn can damage sensitive system components, causing system failures or worse: dust bunnies can also be a fire hazard. I wouldn’t want to have to tell anyone that bunnies burned down my house.

 

Since cleaning instructions may vary, refer to your system documentation. And be veeewy quiet…

I originally planned to post tonight about the ins and outs of Eliot Spitzer, the New York Attorney General barely elected in 2000 whom Time dubbed “Crusader of the Year” and described as a “passionate and partisan Democrat.” So I’ll save his story and all the good stuff about the questionable timing of his insurance raids on Wall Street this week that has caused Wall to tumble...and something which also coincidentally happened two years ago before another election. All of that for a later time.

 

A poster at Little Green Footballs alerted me to a story out of a Philidelphia-area TV station that Kerry supporters threatened violence tonight unless a movie theatre cancelled a political movie the Kerry camp happens to disagree with. Video of the confrontation is also available.

 

Can one just imagine what these brown-shirted goons would do if they joined the ranks of the bureaucratic minions under a Kerry administration? Kerry camp: We don’t like what you say, so you shall henceforth be silent. -Welcome to Dictator 101. And Heaven help the First Amendment – at its very core of intent: political speech.

 

The movie, Stolen Honor, a sellout to 600 moviegoers, was to be shown at Baederwood Theater tonight, but under threats of violence from the looming Union/Kerry mobs, management cancelled the affaire. Many movie-goers however did receive complimentary DVD’s of the film from its promoters, to watch at home. Police, for some reason, instead of protecting the theatre’s right to show the film only stepped in when disgruntled movie-goers decided to fire back at the Kerry-fascists. One of those fascists wore a Union jacket and others held up Kerry signs.

 

Movie-goer: "Did you see what he said in the senate? Did you see that?"

 

Kerry-fascist/Union Thug: "If you'd shut your mouth we wouldn't be arguing (slur)."

 

Movie-goer: "What (slur)?"

 

Kerry-fascist/Union Thug: "Give yourself a try. Come on. Hey. Hey. Hey coolaid."

 

Movie-goer 2: "(The Kerry-fascists) denied me the right as an American citizen to see a movie that every American should have the right to see."

 

Meanwhile, the film’s producer, Carlton Sherwood shocked (as if replaying a page from the oppressed of Cold War Eastern Europe) “What is John Kerry so afraid of with this documentary?"

 

In a statement that gave me déjà vu, Kerry-fascist/Union Thug 2: "We don't believe it's an honest movie. Doesn't honestly state the positions of what he did." So in other words anybody who doesn’t abide by your opinion of what the political reality is, should be shut down. Maybe we should just outlaw anybody from running against John Kerry and the Hardline-Left altogether. Then we can devote all our energies to lining the streets with bright red flags with pretty black swastikas or hammers & sickles and line ourselves up to cheer the glorious dictators with great hair, as they slowly move down the street in their 1938 Mercedes convertibles.  

 

Movie-goer 3: "I think it's terrible, I think it's ridiculous that they're gonna shut this down and at the same time they're gonna show Michael Moore the day before the election."

 

While not interfering with the rights of leftist moviegoers, I would love to see folks show up at that Michael Moore film on Election Eve by the thousands and hold a rally- peacefully, of course. Peaceful, but rather loud also.

An amazing Pre-2000 Election analysis that shows someone saw all of this coming:

“We all know from history that when totalitarian forces, driven by their dysfunctional fury, seek to uproot the political establishment, they will use any means necessary. Bribery and character assassination are easy choices for them, even murder, because civilized limits are meaningless to the Stalins, Hitlers and Maos of the world. Their goal is to grab power, and "The Party" -- whether Communist or Nazi -- is the highest good. Loyalty to the party is everything because the party is the country. …”
