Power to the People

Today was a landmark day in the USA. This day, June 28th, 2007 should go down in history. Not because this is the day that the horrible immigration bill failed, but the day that congress was forced to bend to the will of the people. This was only a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. We the people should celebrate any victory over the government. In the past, congress has bent to the will of the people, but always some minority.

Where do we go from here? “We stay the course,” as President Bush is so fond of saying. Let's continue to use this new-found power and force the government to do the things the majority of the people want. We must make the government understand that the status-quo is not going to work. It's time the government enforce the laws it was sworn to keep.

Seals Dying

This was an article published in the Washington Post in 1922. The headline was "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."

I guess that speaks for itself, no need to say more.

Paris Law

We now know something we have all known for years, society is separated by class. The left seeks to separate us even more. Many times class-ism is looked at as racism. No doubt some of it is, but today something happened that defined class-ism.

Today, after three days, Paris Hilton was released from jail. The police department states the reasons are “medical”. News is slowly trickling out that she would not eat, and cried constantly. Now we know what it takes to get tossed out of jail and get house arrest in a cushy mansion. Of course, I doubt Charles Manson will ever get that sentence, and nor should he.

Federal Failure

Today was a good day in America. Congress worked together to come up with a new immigration law. Today that law failed to come to vote and was sent back to committee, where most go to die. This bill will reemerge, but at least this version is effectively dead. Those for the bill claimed that it had to pass this one or to continue the status quo of doing nothing.

Those of us that have opposed this bill do so for one reason, why pass more laws when no one wants to enforce the current ones. Once the current laws are enforced, there is true effort to build the 720 miles fence that congress has already approved, and then only can we look at changing the current laws.

No doubt we need to expand the quota of immigrant workers. I doubt anyone will argue that point. The Kennedy-McCain bill did provide for that. That bill had a lot of good points. There were also many bad points. There is no need for me to go over that bill verbatim.

Rosie Gets Hers

I am sure I am only going to say the same thing that millions of Americans are saying. It’s about time someone let Rosie O’Donnell have it. That woman has used a platform that most will never have to spout lies and misinformation. Why ABC let her continue as long as she did I will never know. There will be no surprise when the leftist media in this country gives her another platform to spout hate.

A lot of people are asking, why is this so important. There are more important things in the world than Rosie O’Donnell. I am sure there are, but this is more important than most realize. Rosie is stating things that millions of others believe. Those lies and mis-truths are rampant on the Internet. It’s hard to determine the root of these lies. I do know that it seems most Canadians and Europeans believe them. Maybe they are getting it from the BBC. We do know the BBC is a far left socialist news organization.

ANOTHER SOLDIER'S VIEWPOINT

think this is as close to exactly how it is in Iraq.

Here's his letter :

Following the article I sent about Bush's national address and troop increase, I thought it was a good idea to let you all know what the perspective is over here. I'm tired of hearing the media's skewed version, the politicians squabbling over what they read in a report, and the average ill-informed American ranting about things he knows NOTHING about.

I've been over here a couple of months now, and I've learned more about this country than a year's worth of watching CNN. I've sat in mission briefs with Colonels, talked with village elders, had tea with Shieks, played with the kids. And I agree with the President. We need more troops and we need to take greater action.

Free Speech On Immigration

Who knows if this is true or not, I guess it doesn’t matter. It states accurately, a well known fact.

Subject: New Immigrants
   Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which don't agree with the philosophy they're "pushing" on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published - but with your help it will get "published" via cyberspace!     From: "David LaBonte"     My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined.  Dave LaBonte (signed)     Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:
