Corruption in Mexico? Really?

Elite unit´s image tarnished by scandals
A string of incidents, including a DVD recording of a drug-related execution, have shaken Mexico´s faith in the new Federal Investigation Agency, created to fight powerful organized crime rings.

Those drug-related executions do sometimes "shake" the faith in law enforcement. Not completely destroy the faith... just shake it a little.

A recent series of indictments and disclosures about corrupt federal agents has rocked the federal Attorney General´s Office (PGR) and undermined one of President Vicente Fox´s few solid accomplishments: the creation of an elite, honest federal force to fight kidnappers and drug dealers.

The charges accuse federal agents of doing the bidding of drug traffickers and carrying out kidnappings and extortion plots, the same kind of corruption the agency was created to stop.

Hey I've got a plan! Let's leave our border open with these lunatics so that they can smuggle drugs and criminals into our country! That will keep Americans safe because we all know that protection of the American people is the governments highest priority. Right after making sure that our toilets don't flush too much water.

Washington State Partnership Network for Hispanic Workforce Development: An Application of Interactive On-line Learning
Goal: Expand education and workforce training access available to Mexican populations living in Oregon and Washington, USA through trans-national Internet facilitated teaching and learning collaboration.

Note that the goal is not to educate Hispanics as the title suggests, the goal is to educate Mexicans. (aka foreign citizens)

In many US labor market regions, including many in the Pacific Northwest, Hispanic immigrants are the most rapidly growing demographic labor force group and their preparation to fill business and labor skill gaps is critical to regional and national economic growth.

As an American worker I can't say that I'm too thrilled that we are importing "the most rapidly growing" labor force from another country.

Basic literacy and language skills are a current barrier to successful training of immigrants to fill living wage employment opportunities expected to be available within rapidly growing segments of the US and Washington State economy over the next 10 years.

One minute they are "doing the jobs that Americans won't do" and the next we are using tax dollars to help prepare them for "living wage employment." It's very ironic considering that these same elites are the ones who claim that there is a major shortage of "living wage" (what is that?) jobs as it is.

In addition, the initiative will improve the ability of ordinary Mexicans to obtain living wage employment or start successful businesses no matter where they live.

Where they should be living is Mexico. It's not our fault their government ran that country into the ground. They have a huge supply of natural resources and they claim to have a huge hardworking labor force, what's the problem?

This taxpayer funded project even has a flow chart with all arrows pointing to American citizens getting screwed.

It is mind boggling to see how much time, money and effort are going into educating another countries population, especially when they are criminal aliens, when our own education system needs some work.

I'm certified (not) organic

As my regular readers know by now I am very consistent with my posting. I always get one up in the morning before work, one right after work and usually one in the evening. Everyday.

The lack of a post last night and this morning was due to a family thing. Routine medical stuff with one of my kids so I was out of the house last night. Let me say, I sure am glad to live in America where we have the best medical care available. As opposed to say, Canada... "the time that patients wait to be seen by a specialist has almost doubled ― from 9.3 weeks to 17.7 weeks.1 More and more Canadians are avoiding waiting lists by crossing the border or seeking private clinics in Canada to get the service they need." SOURCE

1. Average waiting time from referral by a general practitioner until treatment by a specialist. 1993 and 2004 figures from the Fraser Institute.

Hey Daniel, I regularly read liberal websites, what's that funny stuff just above this?

That my friend is a footnote. It means that I'm not just making things up or saying stupid things that are not provable such as "everyone loves the health care in Canada."

But back to my original post, this is getting way off track, I do not like organic products. Or at least not organic beer. I got a craft beer set for Christmas that has a lot of microbrews from Oregon, Washington and California. As I write this I am drinking a "certified organic" Wolaver's pale ale. It tastes like it needs some chemicals.

While there is apparently a market for "certified organic" products (I know someone who only uses organic mouthwash) it is certainly not for me!

When I eat my baby birds for breakfast (eggs) I want them to be unnaturally big, when I drink my beer I want to know that the hops were kept bug free with peticides and when I am clubbing a baby seal to death to make some slippers I want to know that he was given steroids so that at least he had a fighting chance against me and my baseball bat.

Time to try another beer...

Thanks to the reader who sent this link! Juan Rosillo is just another one of those "good hearted folks" from down south that came here to keep our economy afloat. Because we all know that our economy depends on child molestors.

Do you think that the victim(s) of this man would be ok with strawberries costing ten cents extra if it meant that they could be sure that he would never be able to break into this country again? I know that I would.

We're so broke

DHS is so broke that on their website they offer this:

There are 78 job opportunitiesas of 12/29/2005

That's right, no hiring freeze at the agency that claims they are $172 million in the red. But then again, how could you stop hiring when important jobs like Art Therapist and all the various managers, supervisors, specialists and coordinators whose duties all seem to overlap need to be filled.

I'm sure that somewhere an elderly widow without health insurance is probably waiting for her "art therapist" ($47,436 + benefits annually) right now. That's more important to her than heart medication.

Alcoholics anonymous: time for a pot break

Meeting Title: Governor’s Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse Programs
Oregon treats 60 thousand A&D clients per year, 23 DUII clients, of which only 10 are enrolled in the medical marijuana program.

Smashing success! Oregon (read:taxpayers) pay to treat drug addicts while at the same time licencing them to grow and smoke marijuana! Genius!

The meeting also talks about Oregon have a lot of IV drug users but they insist that the presence of needle exchange programs don't encourage needle use. Cause you know how the market works like that, readily available products are usually ignored... wait a minute...

We could save a few dollars at DHS today

State agency faces $172 million budget gap
The director of the Oregon Department of Human Services says the agency faces a $172 million shortfall in its current 2005-2007 budget.

"You could fix this by making cuts somewhere but I think it's a fool's errand," said Alan Bates, D-Ashland, one of several lawmakers who said Tuesday that they favored a special session.

My collection of DHS nonsense from previous posts:

Previous Post titled "DHS: Tips to flaunt the law"
This is the official word from DHS on how to get food stamps for illegal aliens. It's literally a step by step procedure complete with a common example. Be ready to throw up.

Previous Post titled "DHS: Strapped for Cash"
Talking about things like the "Department of Human Services Diversity Development Coordinating Council" and With jobs like "Diversity Coordinator" (Marita Baragli) and "Cultural Competency & Workforce Diversity Manager" (Open position) and "affirmative action officer" (Travis Richard) I can see why they need so much money.

Can't Marita and Travis handle the whole "diversity" thing by themselves? Do they really need a "Cultural Competency & Workforce Diversity Manager" who makes $59736 annually? Couldn't that 60k go towards helping the needy?

Previous Post titled "Priority populations: The Chosen Ones"
MULTI-CULTURAL EDUCATION TECHNICIAN
$3208 - $4476 MONTHLY
That's $53,712 annually + 15% benefits = $61768.80 total cost to the taxpayers
This job is to serve lesbians and low income women. No joke.

Previous Post titled "Marching to a different tune..."
Who has a booth at the Portland Pride Parade? DHS! (I think that they are right next to the Freedom Socialist Party booth)

Previous Post titled "Another public agency openly works with illegal aliens"
About DHS helping to adminster programs throught OHOP which has scores of information on how to give public assistance to illegal aliens.

Previous Post titled "Tax dollars go towards hindering your constitutional rights"
Maybe DHS could save some money by not going around talking like this: "Guns are now a prevalent health hazard."

Previous Post titled "Don't let them fool you, they have money"
Another "now hiring" post.

This was just a quick search of my archives for the phrase "DHS." How much money could be save by eliminating some of the above nonsense? Let's see, we've got food stamps for illegal aliens, tons of job titles with the word "diversity" in them, participation in liberal events for unknown reasons, and thinking that it's their job to discourage gun ownership.

I see a few dollars there.

Speaking of putting down the pipe

Ran across the Green Parties list of "current candidates in office" and I noticed that someone who could possibly affect my life was a greenie. Obviously I couldn't have that so I prepared to go about seeing how I could change this. What did I find? That the Green Party is either stupid, lying or lazy.

Medical marijuana among changing laws
Holders of medical marijuana cards in Oregon now will be allowed to have up to 1½ pounds of dried marijuana and six mature plants under a new state law that takes effect Jan. 1.

The increased possession limit, part of an effort to clear up ambiguities in the state’s 1998 medical marijuana program, was among the hundreds of new laws approved by the 2005 Oregon Legislature.

No you're not crazy, that is the law that we the people voted down when it went up as a ballot measure. The pot heads are extremely happy but I found a serious oxymoron on the OregonNORML site:

WINTER IS OUR CRITICAL FUNDRAISING TIME OF YEAR. GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF DOING SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS A RESPONSIBLE MARIJUANA CONSUMER BY DONATING TO OREGON NORML.

I'm not sure why winter is so critical, maybe sales from this years harvest are coming in, but is there really such thing as a "responsible marijuana consumer?"

I will rule with an iron fist

Kulongoski + Fox = trouble

MULTNOMAH COUNTY & OREGON ADULT COMMUNITY JUSTICE
Passing the GED can be an impossible dream for students who are just learning English. Because a GED is a goal for many of our Spanish speakers, the Londer Learning Center has begun offering Spanish language GED testing, as well as basic math in Spanish and reading in Spanish.

Salvador D. and Angel C. Salvador began studying English at the Learning Center last year. When looking for jobs, he learned how important the GED is to employers. Salvador relapsed, but was able to resume his studies at the Learning Center once he was stabilized.

This issue of "The Learning Curve" which is a publication by Multnomah County and the corrections dept they even feature a Mexican flag to accompany this pathetic article.

But the kicker:
Through an agreement with Governor Ted Kulongoski and Mexico's President Vicente Fox, the Mexican Consulate is setting up Spanish literacy programs throughout the state.

Materials are free and can be accessed off the internet. Through these courses, a Spanish speaker from any country in Latin America can earn a primary or secondary school certificate.

Thanks so much Governor Teddy. Now people from other countries can come here and get "free materials" (free to them, not to taxpayers) to get educated in another language. Way to go.

Get ready to shed some tears...
Thanks to this access to Mexico's adult education material, the Londer Learning Center currently has one student who is learning to read in Spanish. This student, Luis, was orphaned
at an early age and never attended school in Mexico. Luis's son dropped out of high school in Portland and has been involved in gangs. Since beginning his reading classes at the Learning
Center, Luis now has the confidence to start studying English.

Luis, thanks so much for coming to this country with absolutely no skills, no ability to speak the language and fathering a child who is now a gang member. It's all worth it though because you have the "confidence to start studying English."

Is NOW going to do something?

Western Muslims' Racist Rape Spree
In Australia, Norway, Sweden and other Western nations, there is a distinct race-based crime in motion being ignored by the diversity police: Islamic men are raping Western women for ethnic reasons. We know this because the rapists have openly declared their sectarian motivations.

And earlier this year Australians were outraged when Lebanese Sheik Faiz Mohammed gave a lecture in Sydney where he informed his audience that rape victims had no one to blame but themselves. Women, he said, who wore skimpy clothing, invited men to rape them.

This column documents many instances of Muslims condoning the rape of non-muslims and makes a compelling case that this is an epidemic.

How come I don't see any rush to create new "hate crime" laws?

Illegal alien of the day

Reynaldo E. Rapalo


Story from FOXNews:
A man accused of sexually assaulting seven girls and women was recaptured late Monday, nearly a week after escaping from jail by rappelling down the building on bed sheets, police said.

Local and federal authorities had been scouring neighborhoods, airports, train stations and ports for Rapalo, a 34-year-old Honduran.

The inability to catch the rapist terrified women and the parents of young girls across the Little Havana area. One victim was 79 years old. Three others were young girls who were attacked in the span of four weeks. An 11-year-old was raped as she arrived home from school.

Story from Sun-Sentinel:
Rewards totaling $16,000 were offered for information leading to Rapalo's arrest, including $10,000 offered by the FBI. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were also involved in the manhunt for Rapalo, who is originally from Honduras.

From America's Most Wanted:
Reynaldo Rapalo, a Honduran citizen whose visa had expired, was arrested Septmeber 19, 2003 after terrorizing the Miami community.

You have to pull teeth to find out that this guy is an illegal alien. Most of the media used variations of the AP report where the most they said was that he was a Honduran. I guess that extra fact that he shouldn't have been in this country to rape 11 year olds as they walk home from schools isn't important.

Quality network programming Part II

In addition to the quality show featured in the post below I just saw a promo for a show called "Injustice."

It's about all those convicted felons in prison who are really innocent. Yeah, all 0.00000001% of them. But I guess if you throw in some wild promiscuous sex, racist cops and crime victims who lie (except in the case of rape or hate crimes, those victims never lie) (oh wait, exception to the exception, if someone accuses Bill Clinton of rape then the victim is lying) I guess that they can stretch that into a whole season of television.

I could get into the seriousness of the media portraying convicted ciminals as grief stricken victims of an unfair justice system but I'm going to be too busy with jury duty. I'm sure that the suspect is innocent though, he looks like that guy from tv...

They are using my name... without a warrant

New NBC Drama Show Mocks Christianity
NBC is touting the network's mid-season replacement series "The Book of Daniel" with language that implies it is a serious drama about Christian people and Christian faith. The main character is Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest whose wife depends heavily on her mid-day martinis.

Webster regularly sees and talks with a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus. The Webster family is rounded out by a 23-year-old homosexual Republican son, a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer, and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter.

This is what passes for a family sitcom these days. The only part that shocks me is that the parents are married. AFA has a link on their site to send a letter to those at NBC responsible for this mockery.

New Mac Johnson column

Bush Violates Terrorists' Nuclear Privacy
Not to be outdone, U.S. News and World Report put on its water wings Friday and tried to create a splash of it own, by reporting that the same renegade Bush administration has been monitoring radiation levels in the public air -- without a warrant! Gasp! The power-mad Bushies have done this in a diabolical attempt to get early warning of terrorists preparing to use a nuclear or dirty bomb against an American city. According to the story, this program is fraught with all sorts of subtle privacy issues.

I mean, when you don’t have the right to leak radiation into the communal air from a clandestine nuclear bomb, what rights do you have really? Clearly, Bush is Hitler, but worse.

It's funny but it's serious. I know that I laughed reading this but we should really be concerned about the mental stability of journalists and their constant aid to the enemy.

For those of you who have read about this "scandal" in the media, let Mac tell you about it, he's more informative and very witty.

Singing a different tune

September 7, 2001

PRESIDENT VICENTE FOX: Well, first, I respect the U.S. Congress; they have the final word, and the final decision, no doubt. We don't want to interfere on U.S. politics or U.S. mechanisms, so that's number one.

Now those of you who have read my recent posts like this one and this one know that Fox is now singing a different tune.

On September 7, 2001 I think that Fox was quite comfortable that the man in the White House, President Bush, was firmly on his side and that public opinion on this was relatively muted.

Fast forward to December 2005 and you have an entire country outraged over illegal immigration and it's devastating effects, private citizens willing to take up the call of the Minutemen and defend our border, and groups like OFIR who are willing to follow the Mexican Consulate around the state of Oregon to protest illegal aliens getting sham ID's and government services.

Not only is Fox now willing to "interfere" with U.S. politics and U.S. mechanisms, he has resorted to childish name calling and threats.

Illegal alien of the day

Today's illegal alien who "deserve[s] to be respected in all their rights because they are hard working" -Vicente Fox is none other than...

FEDERICO MUNOZ-CORTES

On October 20, 2005 this contributing member of society was arrested on six counts of Sex Abuse in the first degree. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) put a hold on him on November 16, 2005. Then somehow he was arrested for five more counts of Sex Abuse in the first degree on December 20, 2005.

I can only assume that they found more victims while he was in custody. This illegal alien deserves no respect Mr. Fox. We don't want him in our country. Lives have been ruined because he was in our country.

Those lives may have been spared if our border was secure, if Mexico would stop encouraging it's citizens to migrate illegaly and if our government agencies would stop pampering people who have broken multiple laws.

Lock him up and then deport him!

A very Merry Christmas from Daniel and Veronica. Good wishes to all of you!

I want to thank my regular readers, I appreciate you letting me vent in this forum and thanks for coming up and saying hi when you recognize me at various political functions.

Thanks to the regular commentors, even those of you who simply call me a nazi. I enjoy the feedback, criticism, support and nonsensical statements.

Also, thanks to all the bloggers on the lists to the right. They are a great group of people, check out their sites.

I correspond with many of them, have had the opportunity to meet some of them and appreciate the kind words and help they have had for me.

Happy Birthday Jesus Christ!

Now hiring (with your money)

Diversity & Outreach Specialist

$2,788 - $3,909 MONTHLY

There will be an approximate 5% increase to the top step of the salary range listed above effective 7/1/06. In addition to annual step increases, there will be a 2% increase in salary on 12/1/06.
(Those poor state workers never get raise... they just get an annual step increase, a classification step increase and oh wait, they do get a raise)

Bilingual applicants are encouraged to apply and may be eligible for a pay differential of 5% over their base rate pay

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department invites applications for the new position of Diversity & Outreach Specialist.

Why is the Parks Department creating a "new position" for this diversity nonsense? Are all the the departments current functions completely taken care of? Are they so flush with cash that they must create new job titles to wittle some of it away?

How about keeping the public restrooms open during sports season when kids are playing games at the local park instead of hiring someone whose only job is to make sure that enough black lesbians are on the public payroll.

Stopping the anchor babies

Some of you saw the news ealier this month about a plan to end the birthright citizenship for anchor babies.

Why is this a good idea?

According to this report titled:

A needs and assets assessment of the Hispanic community of Multnomah County
(Shocking conclusion by government about the needs: they need more social services)

In 1999 the number of Hispanic births to mothers who were born in the USA was 275. The number of Hispanic births to mothers who were born in Mexico was 885.

An additional 146 babies were born to mothers whose birthplace was some other South American country.

Why is this a problem? Illegal aliens coming here to have their children is a huge drain on our school system, social services and law enforcement agencies.

The really troubling thought is that most illegal aliens are males but it is impossible to calculate the number of children that they have fathered. (although a survey of pregnant 16 year olds might be revealing)

The cutting edge of news

It seems that the Portland Mercury, you know, that publication that can't quite decide if it's a tabloid or a dirty magazine, has finally gotten around to printing something on the Mexican Consulate/PCUN protest organized by OFIR. Their headline:

With the Threat of a Homosexual Takeover Averted, Conservatives Take Aim at Their Next Target—Immigrants
Around the building marched hundreds of supporters of immigrant rights from at least a dozen organizations, carrying signs with messages like "We put food on your table" and "No human is illegal." But across the street (and two police cars and a small army of cops away), stood a group of 30 to 50 people, invariably white and middle age or older, fervently screaming for the undocumented workers to be deported.

And it gets more "fair and balanced" from there...

They start rambling about the KKK and "angry majorities becoming singularly obsessed with law and order."

Read it for a laugh.

Mexico helping with drug war? NO!

Now I'm really on a roll. Mexico's president, Vicente Fox, has been spitting on America for a long time and I'm hitting a boiling point.

Mexico refuses to help us in the war on terror, they refuse to extradite cop-killers and other people who could possibly face the death penatly in America, they have printed comic book style brochures on how to sneak into the US illegaly and now Fox is hiring a PR firm to try to subvert the will of the American people with regards to border protection and immigration enforcement.

Well the PR firm is going to have their work cut out for them. (see below posts for contact info)

We all know that Mexico is no ally in the war on drugs, that corrupt country depends on narco dollars for income. (they blame us for having drug addicts in this country)

But it seems that Fox has made statements about legalization being the avenue for ending drug sales. For those of you who love the whole "multicultural" nonsense you can add rampant drug use to the whole pre-teen age of consent thing that Mexico's culture entails.

Mexico's president has dropped a bombshell before next month's Summit of the Americas by telling Mexican newspapers that legalizing drugs is the only way to win the expensive and bloody war against narcotics trafficking.
SOURCE

Talk is one thing, but with a pair of appointments to his cabinet, Fox has put well-known advocates of drug policy reform in two critical posts. He named author and political scientist Jorge Castaneda as Foreign Minister and former Mexico City police chief Alejandro Gertz Manero to head the newly created Public Security Ministry.

Castaneda has advocated repeatedly and eloquently for drug legalization, most notably in a widely read September 1999 essay in Newsweek.
SOURCE

Are there any criminal acts that president Fox doesn't approve of?

The PR firm that Vicented Fox has hired is called Allyn & Company. Their job: water down HR 4437, the act that will provide for increased border security and interior immigration enforcement.

You can contact them HERE

Please let them know how you feel about them working with a foreign government to subvert the laws of our country.

After watching that whole video (during which I think that I threw up in my mouth) I am outraged. This PR firm is going to get a lot of mail from me, they don't appear to be publicly traded but I will contact their customers to let them know that I am boycotting their products until they find a new PR firm.

Terrorist billboards rejected as 'racist'
A national advertising company is refusing to post a controversial billboard showing Arab terrorists armed with explosives and carrying an American driver's license.

The billboard is sponsored by New York-based Coalition for a Secure Driver's License, which says the campaign "is aimed at state governments who have failed to implement driver's license reforms that would strengthen our nation against terrorism."

Has everyone forgotten the 19 terrorists who killed 3000 Americans? "According to the March 28, 2002 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Robert Thibadeau, director of Carnegie Mellon's Internet Security labratory, says that "the 19 terrorists on Sept. 11 were holding 63 state driver's licenses for identification.""

Now they support gang members

When did crying become a legislative tactic?

Senate Blocks Arctic Drilling Provision
The Senate today failed to pass a major defense appropriations bill after a Democratic-led bloc stymied it with a filibuster in an effort to force removal of a controversial provision on oil drilling in an Alaskan wildlife refuge.

With 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster and cut off debate on the bill, its backers fell short by four votes. The tally on a motion to invoke cloture so the Senate could move to a vote on the bill itself was 56-44.

A clear majority is not enough to get anything done in the Senate these days. How did this happen? It started with the judicial nominees and when the media declared it acceptable practice by treating the filibuster as a routine occurance.

Typical of democrats, they campaigned (mostly lying about what they believe) on issues, lost seats, but still feel that they deserve control.

They feel the same way about heroin addicts. Sure someone chooses to stick a needle in their arm, sure they can't string a coherent sentence together, sure they are a huge hygeine risk, but that doesn't mean that they don't deserve to live in a nice house and have a "family wage job" just like that guy over there who studied and worked hard his whole life and doesn't do drugs.

New Ann Coulter column

Live and Let Spy
But if we must engage in a national debate on half-measures: After 9/11, any president who was not spying on people calling phone numbers associated with terrorists should be impeached for being an inept commander in chief.

With a huge gaping hole in lower Manhattan, I'm not sure why we have to keep reminding people, but we are at war. (Perhaps it's because of the media blackout on images of the 9/11 attack. We're not allowed to see those because seeing planes plowing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon might make us feel angry and jingoistic.)

Bottom line: To think that it's "unreasonable" (the constitutional standard) to search phone numbers taken from known terrorists is absurd.

If you liberals want to surrender then march your happy selves to Pakistan and convert to Islam (or have your head cut off) but for the rest of us, we're fighting terrorists.

Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan
The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, has struck back with radio ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States.

It's hard to underestimate the ill-feeling the proposal has generated in Mexico, where editorial pages are dominated by cartoons of Uncle Sam putting up walls bearing anti-Mexican messages.

Hmm, Mexico has editorial cartoons depicting a wall and America has jails full of criminal alien child rapists... which countries population should have more "ill-feelings?"

An AP reporter from Mexico helped write this article and it shows. Only criminal alien advocates are quoted, there isn't even a pretense of showing the other side of the coin.

Please, write your Senators and tell them to keep the language in HR 4437 intact. We need increased interior enforcement and a strengthened border.

I'm a victim of a "hate crime"

PCC Hate Crimes and Bias Incident Report
Definitions: A Hate Crime is any criminal act in which biased motive is a clear contributing factor. A hate incident is any act, including conduct, speech, or expression, in which biased motive is a clear contributing factor. Hate incidents do not have to include a criminal act. A Bias Incident is actions that are motivated by prejudice or hate, but may not meet the necessary elements required to be a crime.

Seen today at PCC:




Not having a vagina or being a "woman of color" I found myself victimized twice today by just one poster. It was an awful experience. It brought back all those emotions that were passed down geneticlly from my ancestors who were victims.

These kinds of hateful incidents must stop. How many times must I be reminded that I'm a second class citizen? I demand that this speech be criminalized! The people who have opinions similair to the thoughts expressed by the poster should be given horrible labels and be outcasts in society. Public funds should be used for re-education camps, we'll call them... public schools.

For those of you who haven't heard of "The Vagina Monologues" check here.

Are they really this dumb?

I am a regular BlueOregon reader. I know, I know, they try to keep black people from voting. I keep saying that so it must be true.

But despite their racial prejudices, I keep going back. Why you ask? Maybe it's the fact that they champion the first amendment but have banned me (and others) from commenting on their site. Maybe it's how they pass themselves off as psuedo-sophisticates by ending a good number of posts with the word "discuss." What follows in the comments consists of "Bush sucks" and isn't much of a discussion. Or, quite possibly, it's that Kari Chisholm is constantly lauded in the Fishwrapper as a "media consultant" when he is a partisan hack in every sense of the word.

Anyways, BlueOregon has a new cartoonist who looks to be around 10 years old. Far be it from me to attack a child, I just feel bad that he's been indoctrinated this young. His poorly drawn cartoons consist of, wait for it... "Bush sucks."

But to get a real taste of the intelligence and sophistication over at the segregation loving lunch counter, you have to read this post by Cody Hoesly. I'm not sure which is funniest, the fact that he cites a movie as evidence that we will not have peace for the next 100 years:

Now you only need see Syriana for the latest reminder that global peace doesn't stand a chance for at least a couple hundred years.

Hey Cody, it's a MOVIE. You know, pretend, make-believe. Or that he thinks Google Earth is going to bring us world peace. (The thesis of his post) He seems convinced that before Google came around with their satellite pictures no one could find those secret military installations that various countries were hiding. So I guess now you go into the Pentagon and see a bunch of military analysts hundled around their Dell computer using Google to find secret bases.

I'm sure that Rumsfeld is right now being yelled at for not thinking of this whole "satellite" thing sooner...

Try not smoking pot before you blog Cody.

As for you Kari, you even deleted my comment from you post that you started with This is a personal appeal to our right-wing readers:. Did having something intelligent to say interupt the realistic calls for impeachment?

Skin color is more important than work ethic

The opening paragraph at several county "jobs" websites:

Diversity is a key to the future success of Lane County.

Multnomah County is building a diverse work force and encourages applications from candidates who will contribute to our diversity.

At TriMet, you'll find a diverse workforce that reflects our community, and a commitment to providing world-class transit service.

Other more reasonable counties talked about having a "drug free" workplace and talked about passing a background check. Our two most "progressive" counties only care if you have the right skin color or sleep with someone of the same gender.

Kitzhaber's Rx for state
The last time John Kitzhaber put Oregon on the map as a health care pioneer, it was by working within the decades-old system that delivers medical care.

This time, the former doctor and governor wants to bulldoze what he sees as an antiquated system and replace it with a 21st-century model that would deliver universal health care to every Oregonian.

It's like yesterday never happened with this people. They don't seem to remember that they just "kicked" thousands of people from the failed Oregon Health Plan. (While at the same time actively recruiting new people for the plan)

Do they not remember the anticipated budget for that program and how it ballooned into something that consumes a huge portion of Oregon's budget?

What they do remember is how every time a tax increase is proposed the first thing put on the chopping block if it doesn't pass is the health plan. If everyone is on the health plan then more people may be inclined to vote for higher taxes. Higher taxes mean more government. More goverment means more democrats. More democrats means higher taxes.

It's a vicious cycle of abuse.

New Mac Johnson column

Dems Must Believe Bush Made U.S. Safer
In October of 2001, the Patriot Act, giving the federal government increased power to monitor and prosecute suspected terrorists, was passed in the U.S. Senate with only one dissenting vote. Forty-Seven Democrats voted for the bill. They justified their support of the measure, rightfully, by explaining that terrorism posed a grave threat to America and more potent policing would be needed until we could get the long-term problem under control.

If the Patriot act was needed back then but not now, what has changed?

Tancredo wins round 1to build Mexico fence
It was a victory the once-obscure Colorado congressman savored yesterday.

When the House of Representatives passed a tough new border control bill last night, Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo was all smiles.

Tancredo added: "The fact that Congress was forced to discuss immigration reform in itself is a victory for my allies. Such a victory has been years in the making, and credit is due to the millions of Americans who attended town halls, wrote letters to the editor, called talk radio shows, and even defended the border on their own. I thank them whole-heartedly for their efforts, and I am deeply honored by the support they have shown me and my congressional allies."

We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Rep. Tancredo. Check out his Reform NOW site and send him a thank you!

Criminals mad at law enforcement

Mexico Condemns Immigration Bill
MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government slammed the U.S. Congress for approving an immigration bill that would tighten border controls and make it harder for undocumented immigrants to get jobs.

The House also authorized the building of a fence along parts of the U.S.-Mexico border, but did not include any new temporary work program for migrants, something Mexico insists is needed.

"The U.S. executive branch publicly expressed its commitment to an integral immigration reform, with a new program for temporary workers," the statement continued. "The Mexican government will redouble its efforts to achieve this shared goal."

Guess what you idiots, the "U.S. executive branch" isn't a monarchy. The citizens of America are it's government and we don't want any more of your criminals! And while we're at it, we are going to send you the criminals that we already have right back to you!

You don't like it? Become a superpower instead of some third world country that leeches of America and depends on criminals and drugs for your income. Then maybe you will have some clout. Until then, shut up.

Guilt and innocence

A quick trip around the left wing blogosphere and related websites reveals an interesting hypocrisy. The same people who insist that Tookie was innocent, yes Tookie, the guy who was convicted by a jury of his peers and went through 26 years of appeals, those same people have already condemned Tom DeLay without a trial.

Places like Democratic Underground have comments like this:

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Shit Creek) received yet more bad news last week after a judge dismissed conspiracy charges against him, but upheld more serious money laundering charges. Oh dear.

They seem to think that a judge dimissing charges without a trial (something that is very rare) is "bad news" for Mr. DeLay. The "upholding" of other charges simply means that there will be a trial. He has not been convicted but is apparently guilty in the minds of most liberals. Unlike Tookie who was obviously innocent.

Good old fashioned stereotyping

Reaching Out to Diverse Families
Reaching out to Hispanic families

* Hire Hispanic teacher aides for classrooms, and arrange for child care,
transportation and interpreters for school activities.

* Furnish the Family Resource Centers in the schools with information,
applications and forms such as:
* Driver’s license applications,
* Food Stamp application forms,
* Tax forms,
* Voter registration cards, and
* Directories of community services.

* Schedule conferences and meetings with consideration for families’ availability
and work schedules. Working parents frequently cannot attend daytime
activities; Hispanic women are generally not available when it is time to feed
their families.

* Talk with families, not at them. Compliment families on their children’s behavior
and performance. Praise them for their cultural values, such as strong family
loyalty. Welcome their questions.

* Welcome all families without questions about immigration status or identification
papers, birth certificates or social security numbers.

And this is just the Hispanics. You know, the ones who need day care, have strong family loyalty and whose women are generally not available at meal times.

There are some great assumptions here about black and Asian families as well. Cause you know, they're all alike...

If a conservative group suggested that Hispanic families needed food stamp application forms they would be villified for stereotyping. When the School Board Association does it they call it "outreach." Guess what? I know Hispanic people who don't need day care provided by the school or a drivers license application handed to them. Maybe they aren't all alike...

Tolerant Portland

Many of you heard the disapointing news today that the Christmas Cross will not be put on display in Pioneer Courthouse Square. The idea was initiated by talk show host Lars Larson who thought that it would be a good reminder to everyone that Jesus is the reason for the season.

You can read his statement at the above link but I'll sum it up: those tolerant liberals have made so many threats of violence and vandalism that the project can't move forward.

Some examples of the Atheist Left attacking this idea:

"Wouldn't mind if someone posted the day and time lars will be trotting down to piosquare with his building project. Would like to see how people respond to this local celebrity fanatic. What if the crowd rushed lars and mounted him on his own cross? "
SOURCE

"crucifixion isn't a laughing matter? It is if you do it today--kind of an archaic violence.
My point was that if Lars is going to martyr himself to the cause, he ought to do it up right. And I'm sure we'll find many takers for the opportunity to post him up there."

Daniel criticizes Mexico as "disgraceful" and "shameful"

Mexican President Criticizes U.S. Border Wall
Mexico's president on Wednesday criticized the U.S. decision to complete a wall along the border and use drones to increase security, calling it "disgraceful and shameful."

"This situation we're seeing, a disgraceful and shameful moment where walls are being built, security systems are being reinforced, and human and labor rights are being violated more and more, won't protect the economy of the United States," President Vicente Fox said.

"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country," Fox added.

Of all the things that are "disgraceful" and "shameful" about our immigration situation, the border wall and increased security is not one of them.

What's disgraceful is that the president of Mexico can still hold his head up when it's clear that there is a mass exodus of his citizens to a better country. That condidtions in his own country are so bad that his main job seems to be encouraging illegal migration. Mexican citizens are voting with their feet, obviously they don't think too highly of Mexico and by extension, you Mr. Fox.

What's shameful is that our president allows a foreign government to encourage the invasion of our country, the violation of our laws and then claim that it's neccessary for our economic viability. President Bush should rebuke Fox's statements that our society is dependent on illegal labor. The point should be made that Mexico's economy is dependent on illegal labor as their second largest source of (documented) income is remittance from America. I say "documented" because they make quite a bit off of narcotics as well.

Tancredo: 51 Terrorist Suspects Crossed Border Illegally
Tancredo says: "What scares me is not this list from federal law enforcement -- after all, we've already caught those terrorists. What scares me is the potentially hundreds of terrorists who make their way through our porous borders each year and go undetected."

The day after the nuke goes off in a major city we will close the borders. Until then it's "see no evil" when it comes to our nations biggest security threat.

Does anyone else think that it shouldn't have to come to that?

What should we do with our president if a bomb destroys a city and it was smuggled across the Mexican border? He knows the danger. It would be a preventable attack. What would you think of him then?

"181" Laws Under Attack
As expected, three bills have been introduced that would repeal or dismantle Oregon’s laws that prohibit state and local police from enforcing federal immigration law (ORS 181.850)...

For the past few months, we [the ACLU] have helped build an impressive coalition of organizations prepared to respond to the legislative attempts to repeal or amend these laws. This coalition includes PCUN, Network for Immigrant Justice, Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon, numerous organizations advocating against domestic violence, the Japanese American Citizens League, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, Basic Rights Oregon, Commission on Hispanic Affairs, Rural Organizing Project, Latino Network, and the Oregon AFL-CIO, just to name a few.

Hillsboro Police Chief Ron Louie has also been very supportive of our [the ACLU] efforts.

How do I say this? Duh Louie, you think that you need to tell your officers not to break the law? Isn't that an unspoken order all the time? What was the point Louie?

My point is that time and again Chief Louie has demonstrated that he doesn't just want to follow the letter of the law when it comes to 181.850, he wants to actively help illegal aliens. For those of you who are familiar with Hillsboro it is quite apparent that they are allowed to flourish there.

It is very clear that the ACLU and law enforcment are on opposing sides a clear majority of the time, so why would a police chief cozy up to that criminal enabling group at every opportunity he gets? Send the Hillsboro police a message:

Stop associating with the ACLU, stop giving aid and comfort to illegal aliens and start protecting your citizens!

Note: I have it on good authority that when I post an email adress for someone who is actively working to help illegal aliens, that person gets a fair amount of mail. Keep up the good work.

New Mac Johnson column

A Nation of Widgets: The Wall Street Journal and Open Borders
When you discuss the idea of unrestricted human migration across national borders, you have to recall this. Immigration has economic consequences, but it is not exclusively an economic issue. It is not even primarily an economic issue. It is primarily a social or political issue. And when the immigration in question is illegal, then it becomes an issue of the rule of law as well.

Men are not widgets, and immigration affects more than just numbers in an abstract spreadsheet. America is not merely an economic opportunity zone for all comers to profit from. America is a homeland. America is a home to a distinct culture and the people that created it or have been assimilated into it. It is possible that the philosophical bookends of rightist globalism and leftist multiculturalism have squashed the instinct of that people to protect their culture and to claim the right to restrict entry into their home. But I doubt it.

As you know, since I post every one, I read Mac's column every week and this is one of the best. He takes on the WSJ and makes them look like the fools that they are when it comes to illegal immigration.

NOTE: I used to link directly to the column at Human Events but will now be linking to Mac's homepage. The column is just one click away. I do this because I want you to see what he has on his page and generate a few hits for him. He's answered every email I have ever wrote him (I don't bug people, but I write occasionaly) and given me good advice. He's a great American!

Crime and punishment

Tookie Williams Executed by Lethal Injection
"Is Williams' redemption complete and sincere, or is it just a hollow promise?" Schwarzenegger wrote. "Without an apology and atonement for these senseless and brutal killings, there can be no redemption."

At 12:35am Tookie was held accountable for his actions here on earth. What happens to his soul is between him and God, but our government, instituted by man, has to punish criminal behavior.

While I can't take pleasure in his death I am glad that this happened because it's an important reminder that consequences do exist. It's a scary phenomenon today that so many people want to convince the world that the law of action and reaction does not apply. That when you get a negative reaction for your behavior that simply makes you a victim.

It always amazes me the high profile that AIDS gets. It is a 100% preventable disease. As I am writing this I can gurantee you that I will not get AIDS. (don't bother me with the .000001% chance of some freak accident) If you have AIDS I'm sorry, but at the same time you chose to have sex outside of marriage or stick that needle in your arm. When you were doing one, or both, of those things you had convinced yourself that there would be no consequence for what you were doing. You were wrong.

With our dysfunctional death penatly system a lot of people are convinced that there might not be a fatal consequence for their heinous crimes. I'm glad that the state of California proved them wrong.

No money for basic services

County government has some very specific functions: public safety, infrastructure maintainence, declaring thousands of years of traditional marriage void... oh wait, scratch that last one.

My point is, we pay taxes to the county to get some important things done. The problem is, they don't do them. Instead they spend the money on whatever feels good to the county commisioners. Nothing is off limits. Nothing.

Case in point:

So for you Lane County taxpayers, are you glad that money from the general fund went to this group whose main clientele are probably criminals? (Now before you liberals start with your 3rd grade "prove it" nonsense let me show how you can infer this)

Head of Centro says:
While the 2000 census reports approximately 15,000 Latinos in Lane County, unofficially, the generally accepted number is closer to 30,000, according to Carmen Urbina, Executive Director at Centro LatinoAmericano.

Serious political commentator: Kanye West

Kanye West back in the fold with 8 Grammy nominations
NEW YORK – The Grammys care about Kanye West.

Both lauded and vilified for his infamous "George Bush doesn't care about black people" comment, West is a controversial rarity in Thursday's world of insulated, manicured pop stars. But his eight Grammy nominations Thursday – tied for the most with comeback queen Mariah Carey and R&B newcomer John Legend – show that West is still embraced by the mainstream.

Embraced by the mainstream? How about adored by the liberal media.

Our own Portland Mercury talks about his "well-rooted sense of creative manifest destiny"

The Seattle PI says "Kanye West hasn't touched the sky, but as one of the country's top rap artists, he's come pretty close."

And apparently he is approriate for high school kids as well. He performed at a school during which "Some students gathered together and spelled K-A-N-Y-E W-E-S-T on their sweat shirts with masking tape. Others wore T-shirts featuring West's post-Hurricane Katrina statement: "Bush doesn't care about black people."

Well good. Oh yeah, here are some song lyrics:

[Chorus: Kanye West]

N-now, th-th-through ya motherfuckin hands

GET EM HIGH

All the girls pass the weed to ya motherfuckin man

GET EM HIGH

Now I ain't never tell you to put down ya hands

KEEP EM HIGH

And if ya losin yo high than smoke again

KEEP EM HIGH

[Chorus]

[Kanye West:]

Drug dealin jus to get by stack ya money till it gets sky high

Kids Sing Kids Sing

[Kanye and Kids:]

We wasnt supposed to make it past 25 but the jokes on you we still alive

Throw your hands up in the sky and say we don't care what people say

Nothing like having kids help you sing a song about selling drugs. Obviously Kanye has a very good social concience. I really want to listen to the guy who says to smoke more weed if you are losing your high tell me about my president.

And I really want parents to listen to these lyrics. Your kids should not be listening to this garbage. I know that the media doesn't care about your kids, it's fine with them if they smoke pot, have babies out of wedlock, and curse like a sailor, they will continue to push these overhyped rappers as "artists" who have "charisma" and nonsense like that.

Did they have an ITIN for their drug profits?

Salem Police announce heroin ring bust
Police in Salem say they've cracked down on a drug ring that was seven years in the making.

Police say 23 people are in jail and Salem's major heroin traffiking ring is wiped out.

Teams prepared the warrants for 3 months, but Salem Police have been after these dealers for seven years. They say it's a small group of mostly illegal aliens from Mexico, selling to dozens of daily users.

Kudos to Fox12 for mentioning that the drug dealers were illegal aliens. I'd like to see that become a habit in all the news outlets. It's an important piece of information and would really inform the public on the true damage that criminal aliens do to our society.

As of right now a Google news search of 'Salem' 'drug' 'heroin' doesn't reveal a single news item. Hopefully if you are clicking on that link tommorow there are some stories in the local Fishwrappers.

ITIN is ONLY for illegal aliens

A conversation I had today made me want to find out exactly how many ITINs (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers) had been issued in the last several years. While that number has proved elusive, (I'm not even sure where to direct my public records request) I have found some interesting stuff:

IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) Application Requirements Have Changed
If you are legally employed in the U.S. you must have an SSN and should not apply for an ITIN.

So having an ITIN is proof that you are violating the law. It seems ridiculous that our federal government would issue a number only for people who are illegaly working. This is really a shocking document to me. Other places on the IRS website try to beat around the bush with regard to who needs an ITIN but here the just came out and said it.

Information for State Departments of Motor Vehicles
Several state government motor vehicle departments are accepting IRS -issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) as proof of identification for state driver’s licenses, prompting us to issue this reminder -- ITINs are not valid for identification outside the tax system.

Although we require ITIN applicants to provide proof of identity documents, we accept these documents at face value without validating their authenticity with issuing agencies or conducting applicant background investigations. We do not require applicants to appear in person and third parties may submit applications and provide documentation on behalf of others.

In other words, you could apply as James Bond and they will issue you an ITIN. They will not question you. This .pdf goes on to detail the dangers of state DMVs giving drivers licenses to people whose identity you can't verify... like say, they are using a Mexican Matricula card.

NOTE: Thanks to the commentor who pointed out the incorrect link. (I always have 7-8 windows open when doing research) My error. The DMV link from the IRS.gov website is working now.

Conservatives look at ending birthright citizenship for immigrants
It's been a cornerstone of American law since shortly after the Civil War: Children born in the United States become citizens, even if their parents are here illegally.

Now some conservatives are taking aim at that birthright.

They call the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants "anchor babies" because at age 18 the children can apply to bring other family members here from abroad, and a growing group of House Republicans wants to change the policy. They hope to add a provision to the immigration bill that the House of Representatives will consider next week that would deny citizenship to those children.

This is a good step. People come to this country and have children for the sole purpose of getting a foot in the door. Children shouldn't be used like that.

A new "no man"

Kulongoski names chief spokesman
Gov. Ted Kulongoski on Wednesday named Lonn Hoklin, the communications director for the House Democrats, to be his new chief spokesman.

Kulongoski has a new guy to say "we're not interested" to talking to the whole state of Oregon on the Lars Larson show.

I've called Miss Cleo...

Air Marshal Kills Erratic Passenger in Miami
An agitated passenger who claimed to have a bomb in his backpack was shot and killed by a federal air marshal Wednesday after he bolted frantically from a jetliner that was boarding for takeoff, officials said. No bomb was found.

The passenger, identified as Rigoberto Alpizar, indicated there was a bomb in his bag and was confronted by air marshals but ran off the aircraft, Doyle said. The marshals went after him and ordered him to get down on the ground, but he did not comply and was shot when he apparently reached into the bag, Doyle said.

First, I'm sorry that someone had to die today. While I don't know the mental state of the man who got shot I do know that the air marshal acted reasonably.

But now I'm going to make a prediction about the results of this incindent. First, the media will pounce on this one with nothing but utter contempt for the air marshal. The "victim" will be the man who was out of control and claiming to have a bomb.

Editorial boards will call for "reviews" of the "process" that is involved in shootings. (I could simply lay it out for them: man threatens lives, man gets shot. But that's too simple and doesn't involve the subtleties of race, socioeconomic status, whether or not the weapon used looks scary and could be called an "assualt" weapon...)

Some windbag congressman will call for the disarming of air marshals. Blah blah blah. Some time passes and BBBBOOOOOMMMMMM.

Same windbags, same editorial boards will be saying "Why didn't Bush do something to protect that plane?"

A great deal

What Democrats have to offer:

We're going to lose in Iraq, let's retreat.

We can't keep people off drugs, let's give them clean needles or legalize.

Government can't be big enough, give us more money.

Traditional family isn't important, gays marriage and single motherhood should be celebrated.

Human life isn't important, abort that baby.

Human life is precious, don't kill that murderer.

Tolerance is our highest value, so you can't have that opinion.

We don't fund public safety, but you can't have your guns.

There is no such thing as personal responsibility, but our society will be peaceful and orderly. (sure...)

We love the enviroment, so much that we will let it burn to the ground.

We want everyone to have a "living wage," but we do everything we can to punish private enterprise.

Thank you Mr. Gilchrist

Border security haunts election
The most interesting thing about the race to fill a vacant U.S. House seat in Orange County -- one of the most secure Republican districts in the nation -- is not who will probably win. The party's endorsed candidate, former car dealer John Campbell, is so confident he already has a plane ticket to Washington.

Despite the likely outcome, the campaign has spotlighted an issue that could play out in races across the country next year: illegal immigration.

While Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist lost the election, his candidacy forced the Republican party to adress his issue. He also demonstrated the huge support for meaninful reform, meaning enforcement, of our immigration laws.

See all news items

He was reaching for the Cheetos...

Allegedly intoxicated driver crashes his car
REEDSPORT: A Scottsburg resident was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after crashing on Highway 38 close to midnight Monday.

Gerardo was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, failing to perform the duties of a driver and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

I had to post this because of the discussion from a few posts down about marijuana and the reasons for it's prohibition. Would any of you hippies like to explain to a victims family how "harmless" marijuana is if this guy had killed someone?

A possible turning point?

Today could be a historic turning point. This could be the day that Republicans finally realize how serious American citizens are about the illegal alien crises.

As I write California's special election is happening. Minutman founder and Independent candidate for congress Jim Gilchrist is running and it seems that Republicans may be voting the illegal alien issue rather than for the schmuck with an -R next to his name.

This is a vote that party strategists will be watching closely.

Same tired arguments

Recent immigration column was misinformed and irresponsible

Last week there was a very well written opinion piece in the Daily Emerald. Of course, no paper can print a letter, article, or op-ed about illegal aliens without the follow up response of "You're racist" a few days later. See if you catch the theme:

...irresponsible piece of “journalism” that contains more than just a tinge of racism.

Are all people of color potential terrorists?

The U.S. government is not above acting illegally.

...part of the reason “Mexico’s lack of infrastructure” exists is not its own problem, but rather a result of how the U.S. has exploited this less powerful country over time.

Don’t tell me that American citizens would take these jobs for the same crappy pay and no benefits and hazardous working conditions.

Instead of making any attempt to see people who come here as what they are — human beings — who for the most part come here out of sheer desperation, Ms. Brock turns them into faceless “criminals” and “terrorists.”

It's like talking to a child who heard a "fact" on the school playground and now lives by it. Opposing criminals acts is racist, all the bad in the world is the fault of America, criminals are people too, Americans won't do those jobs, blah blah blah.

It would take 20 minutes of saying "but are they breaking the law" to get this writer to admit that yes, they have broken the law. Another 20 minutes of repeating "but doesn't that make them criminals" would finally get her to concede that yes, that does make them criminals.

So it comes down to the fact that this person is willing to excuse criminal behavior. It's not uncommon, people do it every day. Kids say "record companies make millions, downloading this song/CD isn't stealing" even though it is.

It's part of the "I want it but I'm not willing to pay for it" attitude. It's based on entitlement, you think that you should get something because you somehow deserve to have it. The fact that is may be illegal, wrong, and taking from someone else is irrelevent at that point, you insist that it's ok because if you didn't have what you want it would somehow be "unfair."

In the eyes of God and in terms of right and wrong, stealing a CD or trip into this country is no different that robbing an elderly woman. None of those acts should be justified.

New Mac Johnson column

Illegal Alien Invasion Deadlier Than Iraq
When your first acts in America are to illegally sneak in, lie about your status, obtain fraudulent identification, deceive public services and solicit an itinerant job in the underground economy, people have a right to ask what sort of neighbor you might become.

Mac Johnson crunches some numers and estimates how many murders illegal aliens commit each year. It does astound.

A culture that tolerates drug use

Note: Many sites are linking to me for pictures of the illegal alien protest from Saturday. Scroll down a ways to see the many pics already posted and stay tuned for the rest of them.

Oregon NORML Honors Growers
This year 25 growers entered the competition by donating strains and 28 patients served as judges. Strains were evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10 for "appearance," "aroma," "taste," "smoothness (is it easy on your lungs?)", "potency (how strong is the strain?)," and "medicinal effect (how well does it work for your individual condition?)." Medicinal effect was given double weight in the scoring.

"Medicinal effect" is given so much weight because that's the current legal excuse for smoking pot. It's also something that is entirely subjective and unprovable.

More than 70 people attended the panels -including 11 lawyers who will pick Up 5.0 hours' worth of continuing-legal-education credits from the state bar.

Why does the Oregon state bar allow lawyers to go to Hempfest and earn legal education credits?

Oregon law will change on January 1, 2006, when Senate Bill 1085 takes effect. (Its author, State Sen. Bill Morrisette, was thanked profusely at NORML's awards dinner.) Patients and caregivers will be allowed to possess a pound and a half of dried herb and to grow six flowering plants and 18 vegetative plants under one foot tall.

Hey, Senator Morrisette, no thank you from the (not drugged out of our minds) citizens of Oregon, we already voted on that idea and we voted NO!

Do we have to wonder why so many kids are using marijuana when this state has awards ceremonies and Senators who advocate for it's use?


Senator Morrisette: representing his constitutents?

Money for "The Race"

GOP Congress Earmarks $4 Million for Leftist Pro-Illegal Alien Group
Thanks to a congressional earmark, an open-borders advocacy group that pushes for driver’s licenses, free in-state tuition and healthcare for illegal aliens and bilingual requirements for state agencies and ballots is slated to get $4 million in new taxpayer money to add to the more than $30 million it has received from various federal agencies since 1996.

The author is talking about the National Council of La Raza (The Race) which takes such popular positions like opposing incarceration for criminals and are worried more about how anti-gang laws affect hispanics than how hispanic gangs affect society in general.

Why does congress give this group money? Because they are cowards. Because they are scared of a media that loves to call Republicans racist. Because some politicians will sell their souls for a few votes. That's why.

The Bank of Mexico

BofA launches free remittance service to Mexico
Bank of America Corp. has launched a free remittance service that it says eliminates transfer fees to Mexico for millions of Latino customers

The new feature, called SafeSend, is available to anyone who has a personal checking account with the Charlotte-based bank (NYSE:BAC).

If you have a bank account with the Bank of Amerimex then close it. Please make sure that your investement portfolio does not include any BofA stock. This simply encourages more money to leave our ecomony rather than be spent and invested here locally. How much money?

Remittance income surpasses oil revenue in Mexico
The Banco de México (Mexico’s central bank) estimates that remittances from Mexicans living abroad will total US$17 billion in 2004...

Upon reaching this amount, money sent by fellow countrymen living abroad will become the main source of Mexico’s foreign exchange...

That is why the Mexican consulate is out there helping their citizens to commit crimes in this country.

Because when an illegal alien comes here (Entry without inspection, 212(a) (6) (A) (I)) and gets a job (illegal under the IRA of 1986, public law 99-603) for which he has to fill out IRS form I-9 (commits perjury on the form) and then also must fill out form W-4 (ID theft of a social security number, or if they are brave then they will apply for an ITIN) to "pay taxes" which if they make less than $30K a year they do not pay any federal income tax.

With the simple commision of those four crimes Mexico gets a huge revenue stream!

But how do I really feel?

Ok, since the illegal alien protest this morning I've walked in the Sherwood parade with the cub scouts, gone to church, and had some whiskey. Time to let loose about what I saw today.

First, I was at the middle school, which was the original location at 8:15am. I was the first one there and after moving to the new location with everyone else I was the last one to leave the protest after 1:15pm. (the criminal supporters cheered when I left)

My commitment to this cause is absolute and I will continue to work on it until every last illegal alien is deported.

That said, today was discouraging for me. Much like drug cartels are constantly finding new ways to move their contraband, the Mexican consulate and state of Oregon found a way to discourage American citizens from preventing illegal aliens from receiving benefits.

At the last protest in Salem I attempted to get into the school where the event was being held. When they told me that I needed an appointment to get in I decided to stand at the gate and make sure that everyone who went in did have an appointment. A lot of people were turned away because of that.

This time the criminal supporters held the event on private property so there was nothing I could do.

It was also discouraging to see so many people out in support of criminal aliens. Not discouraging because I think that they are the majority of public opinion, I know that they aren't, but discouraging like when you realize how many sex offenders there are in this country. The sheer number of people who don't care about the law is mind boggling. Actual quote: "Laws cause crime."

Yes, that was the typical level of intelligence I experienced from the illegal alien supporters. Unlike last time there was some organization and structure to their side. As I said in a previous post it was very clear that instructions not to talk as well as talking points for the media were issued. PCUN even had people in orange vests walking their crowd to make sure that all instructions were followed. I can't count the number of times that people were told not to talk to me.


The orange vests were constantly trying to stand in front of me and turn their backs. This childish display was frequently thwarted by me moving 2 steps to my left or right.

I didn't realize that so many PCUN member read my blog but apparently a lot of them do. They were able to cite posts that I have done about Mr. Gonzales who is a board member of MEChA and a school counselor and I was identified immediatly when I first approached this group by Eric of PFAW as Daniel the conservative blogger. Eric, my invitation for a debate still stands.

While it is very frustrating to watch so many law enforcement officers standing around while there are criminals in close proximinty I realize that Oregon law prevents them from doing anything. That said, I had several good talks with the Woodburn Police.

I will absolutely say that a reduction in illegal immigration will result in an overall reduction in crime.

I anticipate that future events like this will be similair to this one and the schedules will be closely guarded. In a sense it is a victory, we have succeeded in pushing this criminal activity back underground. They can no longer publicize an event and meet anywhere. Good American citizens will show up. Much like hookers are forced into the shadows the aiders and abbetters of illegal aliens have been forced to move to private property and employ socialists and anarchists to parade their support outside their building.

I guess I would finish with a big thank you to everyone who turned out this event. Rick, Jim, Nick, James, Cheryll, Christi, Michael and so many others. You are all great Americans.

And to you who support the illegal aliens: You are cowards, you refused to even tell me why you where there, you refused to take a stand for something that you purport to believe in. I am absolutly confident in my position and will debate with you any time. Your best argument was to flip me off and call me a bigot. Your lack of maturity makes me feel sorry for you and your lack of understanding of this country makes me think that our public schools are failing in their job or you had bad parents. We are a country of laws, you don't get to pick which ones to follow.


As far as I can tell the education of the criminal supporters consists entirely of liberal bumper stickers, ask them for details and they turn their back to you.

Oh yeah, you guys are going to lose, you know it. You see the outrage that is forming, you see that this issue is really gaining traction, it's only a matter of time. I'm smiling right now picturing the day that illegal aliens are treated like the criminals that they are, it's not long off...

The media

I saw KGW's coverage of today's nonsense at 5:30pm. I wasn't impressed. It was nice to see James (Lars' cartoonist) give a statement.

I can't emphasize enough that PCUN has this very well organized. They provided talking points to everyone in attendance. The story was "we need Matricula cards to get back into Mexico." They even had orange vest wearing gestapos outside monitoring their own group to make sure they didn't give any statements to anyone. (I was generally the instigator in starting conversations)

The Oregon Conservative has a great picture of our pro-law abiding group along with me giving a comprehensive statement to KATU. We'll see if they run with it.


The orange vested gestapo's would try to stand between me and anyone who forgot that they weren't supposed to talk to me.

I don't follow the logic...

I'm not sure I understand what their point is. I'm not an immigrant. I was born here. The term "illegal alien" refers to someone who has broken the law. It isn't the persons existance that is illegal, it's there presence in America.

Illegal alien is a label just like drug dealer is a label. Both are criminals and commit crimes against the law.

Kill whitey?

Forget to mention, a Woodburn officer had to tell one of the illegal-alien organizers that a member of their groups had a carboard sign that said something about "killing white people" and they should put it away.

I rushed to take a picture but the PCUN folks freaked out and grabbed the sign really fast.

I was also a constant facination to these people. I chose not to stay over in the designated OFIR protest area but instead to try to engage the opposition in conversation. Most people responded with immaturity, some called me bigot or nazi, some ignored me, and some babbled talking points that didn't make sense.

But they were constantly taking my picture and asking me personal questions.


I offered to give the guy with the video camera a statement but he wasn't interested in what I had to say.


I imagine that my picture will be floating around with a "do not talk to" adivsory. Or maybe a "right-wing facist" label. Who knows.

Count the criminals

The head of PCUN told Gabriel Rico of the Statesman Journal that they had about 500 - 700 people today. Here they are:





Somehow, they are able to wait in the line to go inside to get help from the Mexican government and Oregon state agencies, but they are not willing to wait in line to get into this country legally.

And for you supporters that were there, before you tell me that these aren't criminals I would like a statement from you that "There were no illegal aliens at this event." And please, say it with a straight face.

If it's so great, then why don't you go back?

With my adventure into what The Oregonian calls "Little Mexico" (but don't let Kevin Mannix here that, he'll be offended) I noticed a lot of "Mexican pride"



This is laughable because all these immigrants, legal or illegal, have already shown what they think of Mexico... they left. Voting with your feet is a powerful statement and many of these immigrants left behind families, friends, and neighbors. But obviously they thought that America was in some way better and it was worth it to leave that stuff behind.

If you want to argue that you are Mexican, that Mexican culture is better and that the country of Mexico is somehow better then I'm going to ask you to prove it: move to Mexico!

The protest

We'll start with some pictures and captions, then I'm going to eat, then I'll do a lengthy post on the successes and failures of this event. I would also point you to The Cheezer to see more pics of this event. Note that the people holding the red signs are illegal alien supporters. PCUN organized a pretty good group of people who don't mind criminal activity.


This guy was at least polite to me, I had been trying to get a picture of myself with a supporter of illgal immigration all day and no one would. Of course, he though that I was on their side. At this point I was the last protestor (for our side) there.


The guy in the white hat with the camera is Eric from People for the American way. Apparently no one told him that these were Mexicans, not Americans. He was also unwilling to debate, talk to, or take a picture with me. But I'm still interested Eric...


Click on the picture to enlarge. The counter-protestors, or supporters of illegal aliens, were an interesting bunch. You had socialists, anarchists, union members, and Americans who identify themselves as Mexican. Quote: I was born in American, raised if Fresno, but I'm still Mexican.

Uhh, no you're not. If you were born in Mexico then you are a Mexican. You are an American. (though I'll concede that you are a bad American)


While the event was originally supposed to be held at the local middle school, it seems that the Mexican consulate was scared enough of OFIR that they had to move the venue to the PCUN building at the last minute.


While I had one or two decent conversations, most of the criminal supporters had the maturity of a 9 year-old.


Again, no one was protesting immigrants, we were protesting criminal aliens. But aside, I had several people insist that illegal aliens pay soooo much in taxes and then in their next sentence talk about their poverty. When I informed them that people making less than $30K a year don't pay federal taxes they would end the conversation.

And I'm not sure what the significance of the Mexican flag is, maybe they pay taxes in Mexico?

Why is this my party?

GOP Official Urges Caution on Immigrants
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman urged his party Thursday to oppose rising anti-immigrant sentiments in the debate over border security and illegal immigration, suggesting that the GOP risks being on the wrong side of history and electoral politics alike if it embraces an exclusionary message.

That's fine. We're all getting used to getting the finger from the GOP on this issue. What do I suggest? Only give money to the special interest groups and individual candidates, especially the immigration groups and people like Robert Vasquez and Tom Tancredo. Do not give money to the Republican Party.

If Mehlman thinks that supporting illegal immigration is on the right side of electoral politics then he is an idiot and needs to be replaced. Now.

Why they do it

Department of Consumer & Business Services:
Fact sheet on participation in the Carousel of Information

The Department of Consumer & Business Services (DCBS) is Oregon's largest regulatory agency. DCBS has been a partner in the Carousel every year since 2000 because [m]ost state laws and rules that DCBS administers do not depend on immigration status...

How nice. This is obviously something that our next governor, Jason Atkinson, will need to change.

Fishwrapper: Let criminals break more laws

This week's winners and losers around Oregon
TOSSUP: Immigrants who pick Oregonians' crops should get the identification due them on Saturday when the Mexican government holds a mobile consulate in Woodburn. Immigration-reform groups and farmworker advocates should stand back and let that happen without turning the event into a showdown.

So people who broke the law coming here should be able to get help from our public servants who will sign them up for government benefits (illegal), help them find work, (illegal) help them get workers comp, (illegal) and get registered to vote. (illegal)

Yeah, it's always a "tossup" for me too deciding whether or not tax dollars should go to help criminals operate. Cancel your subscription.

I hear they make nice slippers

Ranchers have no relief if wolves attack livestock
Despite strong objections from ranchers, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted final amendments Thursday to a management plan for protected gray wolves expected to migrate into Oregon from Idaho.

Thankfully, residents of the Pearl District seemed unconcerned with the wolves. Said one resident, "I am willing to share my tofu with the wolf if they will become vegans."

ODFW said that until they start attacking hybrid cars that wolves are free to roam Oregon.

Daniel says: I hear that wolf pups can be turned into nice slippers...

Sam Adams: Open for bussiness... for gays

From Sam's blog

Our office is considering asking City Council to join 13 or so other cities and counties in enacting an Equal Benefits Ordinance...

The EBO prohibits the City from entering into certain contracts or leases with an employer that discriminates in the provision of benefits between employees with domestic partners and employees with spouses. In other words, the City can't do business with a company that does not offer the same benefits to their employees with domestic partners as they do to their employees with domestic partners.

You know what, just do it Sam. Get it over with. We've all watched Portland become a haven for panhandlers, drug addicts, homeless teens and riots. You people are killing yourselves slowly by suffocating any scintilla of capitalism or free enterprise. (agressive panhandling is not free enterprise)

So please, convince the last remaining Americans in Portland to leave, rename yourselves the Netherlands-lite, and simply fence yourselves off. You can even outlaw cars. And meat.

It will be like a giant commune where everyone gets along. Well, not the drug addicts who will be stealing from you, but everyone else. Oh, not the homeless because they expect you to take care of them, but everyone else. And maybe not the gays because they are never satisfied with their "equality" so they will probably start calling you bigots unless you actually convert to homosexuality. And I'm not sure what you guys are going to do for food or money... but other than all that, it's going to be great!

Or you could come back to planet earth and realize that using governments bully pulpit to force acceptance of homosexuality is facistic and just drop this stupid idea. It's really up to you.

More coverage

Immigrant rally set for Woodburn
PCUN (Pineros y campesinos unidos del noroeste) members, allies and community members will hold a pro-immigrant support action when the Mexican Consulate comes to Woodburn Saturday.

According to PCUN, immigrant communities around Oregon have faced intimidation and harassment by the anti-immigrant group Oregonians for Immigration Reform, who has followed the Mexican Consulate around the state to protest issuance of Matricula cards — a card which is necessary identification for a Mexican national to be able to return home.

I am seeing a lot of coverage from the PCUN point of view and not a lot of coverage from the OFIR point of view. Rest assured, they can ignore us in the media but they won't be able to ignore us on Saturday!

The criminal aliens aren't the victims! American citizens are!

And I would highly recommend that you start ignoring the mainstream press. Please cancel your subscriptions and tell them it's over their coverage of illegal alien issues.

New Ann Coulter column

Murtha Proves It: Republican Party Is Non-Functional
When Democratic Rep. John Murtha called for the withdrawal of American troops in the middle of the war, Republicans immediately leapt to action by calling Murtha a war hero, a patriot and a great American.

What is this? Special Olympics for the Democrats? Can't Republicans disagree with a Democrat who demands that the U.S. surrender in the middle of a war without erecting monuments to him first? What would happen if a Democrat were to propose restoring Saddam Hussein to power? Is that Medal of Freedom territory?

No one is more adept at revealing the dysfunctions of the Republican party than Coulter.

Democrat: Smoking is fine for pregnant women

Ruling: Pregnant moms can harm babies at will
The Supreme Court of Hawaii has ruled that unborn children are not "human beings," and therefore women cannot be prosecuted for causing the death of babies by harmful behavior during their pregancies.

The unanimous decision overturns the manslaughter conviction of 32-year-old Tayshea Aiwohi, who was found guilty in connection with the death of her newborn son by smoking crystal methamphetamine shortly before his birth.

But House Judiciary Chairwoman Sylvia Luke, a Democrat, agrees with the decision.

"Are we now going to say that pregnant woman can't smoke...?"

Democrats would sooner allow women to drink vodka in the hospital delivery room rather than support anything that could affect abortion. This is just sick sick sick.

Props and kudos: The Daily Emerald

Immigration reform doesn’t cut it
The president’s proposal, though a step in the right direction, stops short of enacting any meaningful reform.

Many people don’t realize what a drain illegal immigration is on our system. Last year in Oregon we spent an estimated $400 million educating illegal aliens, according to the Department of Education.

Nice to see this in a college newspaper.
