Citizenship Exam Stresses Principles
Sep 28, 2007 Immigration
The government has tested a new citizenship exam and that exam will be an option up until October of next year when it will become the only exam. The test has open ended questions and requires more than rote memorization. There is also word it will stress principles of our government. The first one I would like to see addressed is the principle of law. Perhaps there should be questions about the ethics of sneaking into a country and then demanding amnesty and a green card. Perhaps we should be asking about the idea of people being rewarded for crime rather than following the law.
I think these ideas are better than part of the test that asks about US rivers (the new test does). The only thing that most know about a river is that they have to cross one to get into this country. Now I have no problem with the test so long as it is given to people who have earned the privilege of taking it. It should not be a guarantee, it should not come as part of an amnesty package and it should not be given to those who lack the ethical and moral character to be here. This means no law breakers, no ILLEGALS, and no amnesty.
For those who did it the right way and will take the test, I commend you. Don’t forget what you have learned. You worked hard to get where you are and we welcome you. Those who do not belong here can explore the river while heading in the other direction.

Stop the ACLU Blogburst 9-27-07
Sep 27, 2007 Stop the ACLU
Recently, the ACLU set their doomsday clock at six minutes before midnight! Once it reaches the ‘dark hour’ of midnight…we will be slaves to the ominous and evil ‘surveillance society’. This isn’t science fiction. This is typical scare tactics from the ACLU.
They prey upon the paranoid. This is how they get donations to fund their machine. They cry about “violators of that very liberty. They have a massive database of their own member’s private financial information they use for soliciting donations.
The group’s new data collection practices were implemented without the board’s approval or knowledge and were in violation of the ACLU’s privacy policy at the time, according to Michael Meyers, vice president of the organization and a frequent internal critic. He said he had learned about the new research by accident Nov. 7 during a meeting of the committee that is organizing the group’s Biennial Conference in July.
He objected to the practices, and the next day, the privacy policy on the group’s Web site was changed. “They took out all the language that would show that they were violating their own policy,” Meyers said. “In doing so, they sanctified their procedure while still keeping it secret.”
Now the ACLU are proudly defending Rep. Larry Craig on grounds of privacy. In another recent case they are defending a “pre-operative transsexual” anatomically male’s “right” to use the female public restroom. Terrence Jeffrey calls out the ‘privacy hypocrisy’ on this one.
“The government does not have a constitutionally sufficient justification for making private sex a crime,” said the ACLU. “It follows that an invitation to have private sex is constitutionally protected and may not be made a crime. This is so even where the proposition occurs in a public place, whether in a bar or a restroom.”
But then the ACLU went a step further, arguing that there is not only a right to solicit sex, but also to engage in it, in a public restroom.
“The Minnesota Supreme Court,” said the ACLU, “has already ruled that two men engaged in sexual activity in a department store restroom with the stall door closed had a reasonable expectation of privacy. They were, the Court held, therefore acting in a private, not a public place.”
The conflated logic of the ACLU’s bathroom briefs seems to be that someone entering a public restroom intending to use it for traditional purposes has no protection either from the gender sign posted at the door or from the otherwise vaunted right to privacy. Someone entering a public restroom intending to solicit and engage in sex, on the other hand, is protected by both the First Amendment and the right to privacy.
What else would you expect from a group that embraces an ideology that holds that partially born babies have no right to keep their skulls intact?
Indeed. As my good friend Glib Fortuna puts it:
This about sums up the ACLU’s worldview. To the ACLU, the only “freedom” the ACLU truly believes in is “ACLU and its partisans.

General Pace Takes Parting Shot
Sep 26, 2007 Military
General Pace will retire shortly and he had his opportunity to explain his position on gays in the military. This exchange was prompted by a question from a Democrat who found Pace’s previous comments “very hurtful.” Senator Tom Harkin is evidently dense and did not understand Pace’s clearly defined point of view. Pace stated:
“Are there wonderful Americans who happen to be homosexual serving in the military? Yes,” he told the Senate Appropriations Committee during a hearing focused on the Pentagon’s 2008 war spending request.
“We need to be very precise then, about what I said wearing my stars and being very conscious of it,” he added. “And that is, very simply, that we should respect those who want to serve the nation but not through the law of the land, condone activity that, in my upbringing, is counter to God’s law.” My Way News
Pace did not change his view, he did not pander and he did not bow down to the great Senator Harkin. He clearly restated his position, one that is in keeping with both his religious beliefs and the law. The issue here is morality and General Pace is a religious man who believes that homosexuality is against the teaching of his religion. He is also a military officer who is responsible for upholding moral behavior and following the law.
Harkin is a Democrat so it should be no surprise that the issue of morality is tough for him to handle. Here is the exchange that took place at the end. It is one that clearly defines the differences between a man of principle and an immoral buffoon:
“It’s a matter of leadership, and we have to be careful what we say,” Harkin said.
Pace noted that the U.S. Military Code of Justice prohibits homosexual activity as well as adultery. Harkin said, “Well, then, maybe we should change that.”
There you have it. First Harkin talks about leadership as if he can show a four star general anything about leading. Harkin could not lead a group of people out of a burning building. Then, after General Pace cites the law against homosexuality and adultery in the military, Harkin says maybe we need to change the law.
Leave it to a politician to want to change a law he does not like. If that is the case, I do not like our tax laws and would like to change them. Of course, being a Democrat, Harkin would want to legalize adultery and homosexuality in the military.
I am glad that Pace did not change his stance on the subject. It is nice to see someone whose opinion is not formed by the latest poll. Anyway, what did he have to lose? It is not like they can fire him.
What else will Democrats do to tear down the armed forces?
Who knows? Maybe Harkin was sucking up to the homosexual base…

Ahmadinejad an Insulted Democratic Mouthpiece
Sep 25, 2007 Uncategorized
Iranian President Ahmadinejad was invited to speak at Columbia University because the folks there believe that it is good to get differing points of view unless those views are conservative. They invited this nut from Iran to speak and he got a bit more than he was counting on when he was introduced. Columbia University President Lee Bollinger was aggressive and confrontational and Ahmadinejad did not like it. He even mentioned how in his country the speaker is not attacked before the speech. They are real tolerant people over there. I believe he mentioned how well homosexuality is tolerated in his sand pit of a country.
The Iranians are all upset because their nut job leader was insulted at CU. They told everyone there would be tough questions but no one counted on a tough introduction. The interesting thing is that while the Iranians are condemning the actions from abroad, the left is condemning them here. Of course, these are probably the same people who applauded when he spoke about the poor Palestinians or when he questioned the official version of 9/11. As he did on 60 Minutes, he spewed Democratic talking points and people applauded, which is their right.
However, I do not want to hear about how the sensitivities of some sand monkey in a suit were hurt or how he was insulted. In his country they do not insult? How about the insult he perpetrated by asking to visit the 9/11 site? He was astonished that people would be upset by this because in his mind he is a peace loving Muslims who would not hurt anyone. I throw a BS flag on his sorry rear.
He has called for the elimination if Israel, refuses to recognize them as a legitimate country, says the Holocaust did not happen, at least not as it has been reported, and he is providing weapons to countries that attack Israel as well as the sand fleas who are attacking our troops. He is a worthless POS and we should have never let him in this country and his presence is all the more reason we need to move the UN someplace else where the standard of living is much more in tune with the representatives of the countries who work there. We need to move them to a third world country where they use outdoor bathrooms and have little in the way of luxury items. They need to go so we never have to admit a scum sucking maggot like Ahmadinejad in our country again.
Another tyrant I am tired of is Hugo Chavez. He defended his buddy Ahmadinejad and said the CU incident
“I congratulate him, in the name of the Venezuelan people, before a new aggression of the U.S. empire,” Chavez said, adding that it seemed Ahmadinejad was the subject of “an ambush.” Breitbart
This is the same guy who was so diplomatic that he called President Bush Satan in that very UN building that we need to get rid of. We need to evict everyone of those third world maggots and knock the building down and use the bricks to build a wall on our southern border. Removing the UN from our country would solve a great deal of problems that people in New York have to deal with every day.
Ahmadinejad uses every chance he gets to disrespect our President. He is an ape who probably has sex with pigs and he does not deserve to breathe. He came to our turf spewing his lies and he was trashed for it. Screw him and the camel he rode in on.
The Congress voted today to denounce Ahmadinejad. This is surprising because he said nothing more than they have been saying for years. I guess when the second coming of Hitler is in the house, they need to pretend to be tough on terror.

The Clinton Mafia
Sep 24, 2007 Uncategorized
About two weeks after the Sopranos aired its last episode, Bill and Hillary Clinton made a commercial that was a spoof of that final scene of the series. It is interesting that the Clintons would select a scene from a show about a mafia family because it would appear as if the Clintons live mobster’s lives.
George Bush said if you are not with us you are against us and the left mocked that cowboy attitude but the reality is, with the Clintons you are either with them or against them. Very few people cross the Clintons and continue to have success. Bill and Hillary and their people make it absolutely clear that lack of loyalty will be looked upon with disfavor, especially if they get back into the White House. Hillary in particular, is an authoritarian who demands absolute loyalty. If she finds that a person is disloyal she will chew that person up and spit him out and not think twice. Think about how many stories discuss people who would not speak for fear of reprisal. The Clintons are mobsters.
This is also true when it comes to the media, a venue the Clintons practically own. Bill has made friends with a lot of people and every moonbat in the world wants to be an FOB (friend of Bill). They bend over backwards to appease the Clintons and to ensure that they get good press. Often, items are ignored so as not to bring discredit or unfavorable press on the Hildebeast. On those occasions where the media outlet is not cooperating or loses its way, the Clintons are there ready to strong arm them into submission.
Take the latest information that the Clintons squashed a story in GQ that was unfavorable to Hillary. The magazine was told to drop the story or there would be no access to Bill. Bang, zoom, there is no story. Some gutless, spineless, coward at GQ decided that it was better to appease the Clintons than to publish the story. It is not a matter of truthfulness because the story had to be true. If it were not, the Clintons would not have wasted time on it. They can lie away the marginal stories or explain away the lies with ease. The problems arise when they are forced to confront the truth. If the truth was Hillary’s ass she could not find it with her hands in her back pockets.
There are many people who are afraid of the Clintons, especially the Hiledbeast because she is vicious and she will rip people apart. I do not particularly care about Hillary. I personally do not know why people are afraid of her or cower from her. She might break bad once but after she was put in her place further outbursts would come at the risk of having her neck snapped off her body. I don’t play those games which might explain why I am a Conservative, not some cowering liberal who is afraid of a beastly woman.
Those who claim that President Bush manipulates the media are the same kind who would give Hillary a pass on her abuse of the media. Just keep this in mind when you are deciding who you should vote for. We don’t need a president who suffers from penis envy or who browbeats people to get what she wants. Leadership is the ability to influence people to give their willing participation in achieving a goal. If you have to scare people to get things done you are not a leader.
