Illegals Might Get Rebates
Jan 30, 2008 Political
If it isn’t bad enough that the government is rushing to send out rebate checks when they are probably not needed and not bad enough that they are sending them to people who paid no taxes, the government might also send rebate checks to ILLEGAL immigrants. The bill, as it is written, specifically states that ILLEGALS are not allowed rebates but since many ILLEGALS use false ID to get jobs and to pay taxes, they might end up collecting a rebate.
It isn’t bad enough that they come here illegally and they get jobs illegally but now they might be collecting a rebate check illegally when millions of Americans will not get one. As I stated, I don’t think the rebates are a smart move and I believe they amount to nothing more than a payoff during an election year. Regardless, the government should not be sending checks to ILLEGALS. To top it off, an ILLEGAL who paid taxes but has been deported might have a check sent to his native country. This is insane.
I don’t care that they paid taxes because they came here ILLEGALLY and they obtained jobs ILLEGALLY. As far as I am concerned they should lose what they paid in and be sent home. The problem is that the IRS is not a law enforcement agency (except when it locks you up for not paying) so it has no idea who is legal and who is not.
As an aside, lost in the rebate issue is the admission by Democrats that tax cuts are good and stimulate the economy. Besides being an election year payoff, the Democrats have admitted that giving people back their own money (in this case someone else’s) brings more revenue into the treasury. Nancy Pelosi stated that each dollar of broad tax cuts leads to $1.26 in economic growth and the mere act of giving it back to stimulate the economy shows they know tax cuts are good. I have news for her, this is true even when the economy is good. Lower taxes mean that people have more money to spend.
But we should not be giving it to ILLEGALS…

Don’t Take Flight 93 to Mecca 1-30-2008
Jan 30, 2008 Flight 93
Not all of the Islamic symbolism in the Flight 93 memorial is hidden. One of the things that Tom Burnett Sr. protested from the beginning was the overtly minaret-like Tower of Voices. The Tower is formed in the shape of an extruded crescent, and even has its top cut at an angle so that its crescent arms reach up into the sky, similar to the upturned crescent motif seen atop minarets all over the world:
Up tower view (left) shows the Tower of Voices to be formed in the shape of an Islamic crescent, covering about 2/3rds of a circle of arc, with a circular inner arc. The top of the tower is cut at an angle (right) so that the crescent arms reach up into the sky.
This sky-reaching crescent is a standard mosque motif, seen from the Abdul Gaffoor mosque in Singapore:
… to Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland:
… to the Uppsala mosque in Sweden:
There is no way that the Islamic shaped crescent atop architect Paul Murdoch’s minaret-like tower is an accident, any more than THIS could possibly be an accident:
That’s before you even get to the hidden stuff, like the Mecca orientation of the giant crescent; the 9/11 date placed in the exact position of the star on an Islamic crescent and star flag; or the fact that the Tower of Voices turns out to be a year round accurate Islamic prayer-time sundial:
Every particle of the original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the Bowl of Embrace redesign, which only disguised the original crescent with a few irrelevant trees.
That Islamic crescent reaching up into the sky is completely undisguised. How can anyone abide this?

Giuliani to Bow Out, Endorse RINO McCain
Jan 29, 2008 Political
Rudy Giuliani placed all his marbles in a sack named Florida and lost them earlier today when John McCain and Mitt Romney placed ahead of him in the winner take all delegate fest. Giuliani ignored the earlier states and concentrated on Florida where a large number of New Yorkers come to spend the winters. It seems to me that Giuliani should have known that a large number of those New Yorkers would be Democrats and therefore could not vote for him. In any event, it looks like he will bow out as early as tomorrow morning and he will throw his support behind John McCain.
There is not a lot of difference between these two. Both are RINOs who embrace ILLEGAL immigrants. Giuliani has had three wives and McCain dumped his first wife after she had a terrible accident and gained weight so he could marry some younger chick. Giuliani and McCain are cut from the same cloth and either would bring the party closer to the liberal points of view. McCain has worked on so many bills with Ted Kennedy that there is probably a McCain room at the Kennedy compound. Each bill was terrible and the one he worked on with Senator Feingold took away the free speech rights of people and strengthened the position of the incumbents.
I guess Giuliani will support McCain and hope for the nod as VP or Attorney General and in order to do that Rudy would have to get on board with the Republican who many people believe could beat any of the Democrats. According to polls, that would be John McCain. Perhaps he could win. He is whiter than Obama and there are some people who are still hung up about color, he has more experience than Hillary and Obama combined and he is less abrasive than Hillary. Maybe he could actually win. The media loves him and the New York Times endorsed him most likely because he has the same liberal views that they do. Of course McCain has some conservative views that they don’t like (like his support for the war) but I have this feeling a President McCain would go to the southern border and invite the illegals in by the truck full. His immigration stance should make everyone worry as should this person who is working with him.
Well Giuliani ran a terrible campaign and spent millions of dollars to give it a run in one state and he came in third. That does not sound like the kind of guy we need running the war or our country. As he departs it tightens up the field a bit and makes tsunami Tuesday that much more meaningful. One other blessing is that we will not have to hear him mention 9/11 or Ronald Reagan again. In the debates it seemed like every other sentence was 9/11 or Ronald Reagan as if Rudy believed he were anything like Reagan or that anyone in the US did not know about him and 9/11.
It should be fun starting tomorrow.

Time to Set Obama Straight
Jan 29, 2008 Political
Barack Obama is running as the candidate of change (that is the buzz word this cycle) and he wants us to know that he will make things in Washington different. This is the same claim that all candidates make and none of them ever do anything except spend money. Obama took the opportunity to record his own response to President Bush’s State of the Union. Fortunately, there is a transcript so we can set this young buck straight.
- Tonight’s State of the Union was full of the same empty rhetoric the American people have come to expect from this President. We heard President Bush say he’d do something to cut down on special interest earmarks, but we know these earmarks have skyrocketed under his administration.
- We heard the President say he wants to make tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent, when we know that at a time of war and economic hardship, the last thing we need is a permanent tax cut for Americans who don’t need them and weren’t even asking for them. What we need is a middle class tax cut, and that’s exactly what I will provide as President.
- We heard the President say he has a stimulus plan to boost our economy, but we know his plan leaves out seniors and fails to expand unemployment insurance, and we know it was George Bush’s Washington that let the banks and financial institutions run amok, and take our economy down this dangerous road. What we need to do now is put more money in the pockets of workers and seniors, and expand unemployment insurance for more people and more time. And I have a plan that to do just that.
- And finally, tonight we heard President Bush say that the surge in Iraq is working, when we know that’s just not true. Yes, our valiant soldiers have helped reduce the violence. Five soldiers gave their lives today in this cause, and we mourn their loss and pray for their families.
But let there be no doubt – the Iraqi government has failed to seize the moment to reach the compromises necessary for an enduring peace. That was what we were told the surge was all about. So the only way we’re finally going to pressure the Iraqis to reconcile and take responsibility for their future is to immediately begin the responsible withdrawal of our combat brigades so that we can bring all of our combat troops home.
It is important to remember that the president does not put in the earmarks, he just signs the bills and Bush has signed way too many. Members of Congress put the earmarks in and this is an old practice that has gotten worse over the years. As a matter of fact Senator Obama, you put in nearly 400 MILLION dollars in earmarks this last year. You can talk change and say that they have increased under this president bu the fact is both parties are doing it and you are one of the very people who is earmarking millions of taxpayer dollars. So tell me again about empty rhetoric.
I did not hear the president say anything about tax cuts for the rich. He said we need to make the tax cuts permanent. Those tax cuts were across the board but you are probably too dense to understand that people who pay the taxes get the money back. The president said that there would be 115 million people whose tax would increase if the cuts were not made permanent. I have news for you Senator, there are not 115 million rich people paying taxes in this country so that must mean that the average wage earners will be hurt by this. Logically, that means that average wage earners are benefiting from the tax cuts. The whole idea about tax cuts for the rich is a tired song that uninformed Democrats sing when they are playing class warfare. Therefore the Middle class did get a tax cut and what is more, millions of people who paid no taxes at all will be getting money from the government as part of the stimulus package. One other thing, the bottom 50% of wage earners pay about 3.5% of the taxes in this country so how are you going to give them a tax cut? The top 25% of wage earners pay 86% of the taxes so what we would have is a redistribution of wealth, or Socialism.
As I already stated, the stimulus package gives money to a lot of people who have no financial stake in this country. They do not make enough to pay taxes and they get benefits from the government and now they are getting checks paid for by others. The stimulus package is a bad idea and it will only provide, at best, a short term solution. There are a number of other things that need to be done to get the economy up and running. Let us also be clear that the Congress has a great deal of responsibility for banks run amok and the housing crisis. Congress made a bunch of rules that forced financial institutions to make loans to people who would not otherwise qualify so as to prevent discrimination. Now those people cannot afford their homes and the government wants to fix the mess it created. Let financial institutions run themselves and decide who to loan their money to. Congress cannot get its own house in order so it should not be telling others how to do business.
The surge is absolutely working. You cry about the Iraqi government not responding quickly enough. They have failed to seize the moment. So tell me Senator, how are they any different from our government? You people do not work any faster, you take off more days a year than you work (you and the others have been campaigning for a year) and you do things slowly. You do not work together, you cannot get anything passed and you are extremely dysfunctional. To top it off Barack, we are not at war here so it is not like you all have to worry about getting killed trying to do your job. Leaving is not an option until we win but you will not have to worry. If your cowardly butt gets elected a bunch of those troops will probably not reenlist because no one wants to serve under a Commander in Chief who espouses defeat.
I will leave the rest of your little soapbox speech alone because I get quite sick reading all your lies and pleas for the poor folks and your desire for socialism. You continue to say that you are about change but you are no different than the rest of them. You deride people because they demonize opponents and then you spend 5 minutes doing that to the president.
President Bush is not the greatest President we have ever had but he is a hell of a lot better than the Carter and Clinton debacles. We have been safe despite your assertion to the contrary and under him we took the fight to our enemies. I know that pains you because you have relatives in the Muslim world but they are the enemy and you are either with us or you are against us.
You do not deserve to be the President of this country. You are a fraud and people will know about you the more you are out there. Hillary will destroy us and you will just bring more sex scandals[Obama sex scandal?] to the White House.

Will Sharpton Require Clinton to Quit?
Jan 28, 2008 Political
The Reverend Al Sharpton, our aging antisemitic race baiting poverty pimp makes a name for himself by going after white folks who say things that he thinks are racist. He recently got himself involved in the business of the Golf Channel when one of their female reporters used the word “lynch” while discussing Tiger Woods. Woods took no offense and said it was a dead issue but Sharpton started in. The reporter got 14 days off.
Then of course, there was the Don Imus incident where he referred to a women’s basketball team as a bunch of “nappy headed hos”, a remark that brought Sharpton out in full force. Imus went on Sharpton’s radio show and applied his pursed labia to Sharpton’s ample gluteals but that was all for nothing because Sharpton raised a stink and CBS fired Imus rather than risk losing sponsors to a Sharpton protest and Jew killing spree.
This leads me to Bill Clinton. It is no secret that the Clintons know how to play dirty politics. For all their crying and whining about Republican dirty tricks, the Clintons sure know a few themselves. The Clinton campaign, and particularly Bill, has been engaged in covert racism with regard to Barack Obama. Now they can say that they meant something else and all that but their pattern is to put it out there and apologize after it has had a chance to fester. When Hillary got her head handed to her in South Carolina Bill compared Obama to Jesse Jackson and though it was reported to be an off-the-cuff remark, it appeared as if he was saying; “It was just a brother getting support from the other blacks.” It was seen as minimizing Obama. Before anyone takes me to task, I don’t care what they say and I am happy that Democrats are finally getting a taste of how it feels to be accused of being a racist for a minimal or harmless remark.
Having said that, I also know that perception is often reality and the black community found the comments offensive. Don Imus made a great point when he said that if he had made the Jackson comment he would be before Sharpton again. That is a true comment. If Imus, or any other white person (especially a Republican) had made the Jackson comment Sharpton would be out inciting riots and getting Jews killed. But since Bill Clinton said it, it is ignored by the race baiter.
If Sharpton were consistent (he is in it for the money and nothing else) he would be demanding that Bill Clinton be removed from the campaign and then demand that Hillary drop out. He would threaten her donors (sponsors, if you will) with all kinds of ugly things and he would be telling us that there would be blacks protesting in all states to keep Hillary from winning. In short, he would be giving them the same treatment he gave the reporter and Imus.
Instead, it is ignored or if Sharpton had an opinion he expressed it and moved on. He did not make the demands that he makes of others who dare to offend him and his black sensitivities.
On ABC’s “The View,” Sharpton said voters are hearing “race charges, race-tinged rhetoric” in the Democratic primary campaign, and called on the former president to cease.
~snip~
Sharpton didn’t say which comments in particular bothered him. But many Democrats were particularly upset that the former president made an explicit comparison of Obama’s campaign to Jesse Jackson’s victories in South Carolina in 1984 and 1988, in an apparent attempt to explain why his wife didn’t win the South Carolina primary on Saturday. ABC Political Radar
As this item from ABC shows, he was bothered by the racial part of it but he just told Bill to shut up. He did not give Imus that rebuke. Instead he helped get him fired.
Maybe Sharpton has left Bill alone because Hillary is constantly on his case and riding his butt hard about every little thing. Maybe Bill gets a free ride because his wife is a nagger…
