Ronnie Earle Is Better Suited for a Job in Hollywood
Democrat prosecutor Ronnie Earle's conspiracy charge against Tom DeLay was thrown out this week, which came as a surprise to people who think it's normal for a prosecutor to have to empanel six grand juries in order to get an indictment on simple fund-raising violations. Mr. Earle will presumably assemble a seventh grand jury as soon as he locates someone in the county who hasn't served on a previous one.

Hecklers Disrupt Coulter's Speech At UConn
After waiting with her bodyguard on stage for several minutes for the music to stop while a section of the audience chanted "You suck, you suck," an irritated Coulter said she would not finish her speech. She said she would go straight to questions and answers, suggesting the disruption was the best the liberals could do to counter her.
The tolerance crowd at their best. Free speech is only for flag burning, public art that degrades Chrisitanity and virtual child porn. We can't let Ann Coulter talk though...

No more exploiting kids
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.

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.

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.

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?

Money for "The Race"
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.
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!
UPDATE: Contact info for the traitors (should have been in the post from the begining)

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Price is wrong
Judge clears man in immigrant driver's license case
A Hillsboro man accused of masterminding a scheme to help thousands of illegal immigrants fraudulently obtain Oregon driver's licenses has been acquitted.
Washington County Judge Steven Price, who presided over the trial without a jury, said Tuesday there was not enough evidence to convict Miguel Robleto.
By "not enough evidence" he means "eight other people have pleaded guilty, federal officials call this the 'largest immigration fraud in Oregon' and the evidence is overwhelming." He just didn't feel like convicting anyone today.
Term Ends: January 05, 2009

Elections manager helps Mexicans vote
Frank Garcia, appointed HAVA (Help Americans Vote Act) manager, visited the Mexican consulate to help Mexicans vote in their elections while living in America.
From the Mexican Consulate in Portland:
(Google translated)
Portland, OR., 9 of November of 2005. The Special Adviser of the Coordination for Voto of the Mexican Residents abroad of the IFE, Primitive Rodriguez, visited Oregon to promote the registry in the Nominal List of Voters to choose president in Mexico the year that enters. The General Consul Fernando Sanchez met with him and, of joint form, they presided over a press conference before average more influential audio-visual writings and in Spanish of Oregon. The Adviser of the IFE met with you lead communitarian like Ramon Ramirez of PCUN, Sabino Braid of the County of Washington; Perfect Javier of Woodburn, MartÃn González de Portland and the Advisors of the Saline CCIME Miguel and Arming Moral, as well as with Frank Garci'a of the Section of Elections of the Secretariat of State of Oregon.
This isn't the first time that Mr. Garcia has decided to do something other than simply help Americans vote. Apparently he is very interested in only helping Americans (and non-citizens?) vote in our elections if they have the right skin color.
Press release:
The Oregon Latino Voter Registration Education Project has set a goal of registering 5,000 Latino voters by the November 7, 2000 election. In 1996, one year after Frank Garcia and Anthony Veliz co-founded the organization, OLVREP registered 1,000 Latino voters, sponsored several voter education forums, and coordinated a get-out-the-vote campaign.
NOTE: If you are wondering what the DMV item is on the Mexican Consulate website it just our taxpayer funded DMV coordinating with a foreign government on how to subvert laws passed by the United States congress. Oh, and they need more spanish stuff. Those hardworking Mexicans are too lazy to learn English. (yes, I said that)
Salem, OR., 4 of November of 2005. The Latin Work group of the Department of Vehicles and Motores (DMV) celebrated his sixth meeting, in which Fernando participated to the General Consul Sanchez Ugarte accompanied by the one in charge of Promotion of the Consulate. In the meeting pursuit to the proposal of Law SB640 occurred approved by the Legislative Assembly of Oregon, and of Real the Federal Law YOU GO Act, which will take effect during the first semester of 2008. Also, one commented on the necessity to count on greater material in Spanish for the registry of vehicles and the diffusion of the same one between the community; whereas the DMV presented the material translated in Spanish whom it has.

Not a "holiday" cross
For those of you who didn't listen today, talk show host Lars Larson is going to put up a HUGE cross with "Jesus is the reason for the season" on it. The best part: It is going to be erected at Pioneer Courthouse Square! (No word on whether or not the hacky-sack game or agressive panhandling will be interupted during the construction)
Thank you Lars!
Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus!

Second, I saw on Orbusmax.com that nanny raper and Portland Blazer Ruben Patterson is making demands after cussing out his coach. Hey Ruben, the last time you made outrageous demands you had to register as a sex-offender, I hope the Blazer kick you off the team.
And last, GO COLTS!

Tuesday night rant
I'll start with the pantywaists in holding federal office... I am questioning your patriotism.
You know why I think that this whole "insurgent" (read: terrorist) nonsense didn't happen after we toppled the Taliban? Because the whole world knew that we were damn serious about putting a boot in the ass of anyone who stood in our way of victory.
The "build-up" to the Iraq war was filled with girls who pretend to be men moaning about our losses that could come at the hands of Sadaam's WMDs. American boot, meet Sadaam's ass.
But the quivering lip crowd just can't stop talking about our imminent failure. They can't possibly anticipate victory, they can't possibly root for our side to win.
What they should be doing is round the clock war propaganda. Talk about how we are winning. Talk about the futility of the terrorist's resistance. Talk about how their cowardice is laughable in the face of the greatest superpower known to this world.
If you can't do that then you are a bad American. That means you, you filthy America hating liberal who is reading this right now. Go to the Netherlands you freak.
Next, I'm glad to see that there is some backlash to the "happy holiday" nonsense. Thank goodness Speaker Hastert made a statement today and many conservative groups have lawyers working overtime to protect Christmas.
But I'm going a step further than "Merry Christmas." I'm going to tell people "Happy Birthday Jesus." That's what we are celebrating. The birth of our Lord and Savior. You don't like it? Move to the Netherlands.

Eugene's stridently Bush-hating Register-Guard newspaper continues its vicious editorial attacks on the President of the United States and on American covert and military personnel who are engaged in the war on terror. That newspaper is losing readership, which may be the result of its editorial policies.
The Register-Guard seemingly forgot, some time ago, that the United States of America, under President Bush, is the "good guy" in a terror filled world of "bad guys".
A good critique of the Red-Guard Fishwrapper and you can comment at the bottom.

Tell them: No rewards for criminals
Tell Pres. Bush you oppose his guestworker proposal, even with border security improvements
If you really want to get tough on illegal immigration, you must drop your support of a guestworker program.
NumbersUSA has a new fax to send to President Bush about his guest criminal program. (I don't have people with warrants out for their arrest as guests over at my house, do you?)
Send the fax, it's free and takes a few seconds.

Where's Waldo?
President Calls for Constitutional Amendment Protecting Marriage
On a matter of such importance, the voice of the people must be heard. Activist courts have left the people with one recourse. If we are to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America. Decisive and democratic action is needed, because attempts to redefine marriage in a single state or city could have serious consequences throughout the country.
Alright! Oh wait, that was on February 24, 2004.
Where is our federal marriage amdendment now? Why was this issue so important to our president in February but we haven't heard a peep since he got reelected? Was this just election year posturing?

To Rehabilitate a Man, Sentence Him to Death
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced that he would consider granting clemency to Stanley “Tookie” Williams, a murdering gang member sentenced to death for his part in four killings committed during two separate armed robberies.
Of course, Tookie probably killed a lot more people than that. I say this not just because it is a strong statistical probability, given Tookie’s youthful pattern of behavior (i.e. shooting folks), but because Tookie is one of the two founding fathers of the “Crips” drug gang, which along with the “Bloods” turned Los Angeles into a war zone during the Crack epidemic of the 1980s.

Bush plans anti-illegals campaign
President Bush today will call for a crackdown on illegal immigration, a move aimed at further rallying conservatives who recently cheered Mr. Bush's tough talk on Iraq and the Supreme Court.
But the president will also renew his call for a program to allow Mexicans who have already entered the U.S. illegally to remain here for up to six years. That initiative has long angered conservatives who equate it with amnesty.
And then what after six years genius? Then are you going to "crackdown" on the criminals already here? If you can do it in six years then you can do it NOW!

Oregon Now Hiring:
Real ID Delivery Manager
$4,840 - $7,136 MONTHLY
You must be a current State of Oregon employee and eligible for promotion.
(You must currently be part of the problem...)
This position will direct the project planning, definition, design, procurement, development and implementation of Title ll Real Identification (ID) Card for the Driver and Motor Vehicles Services Division (DMV). This is a multi-year effort that will span over multiple biennia for a 2008 implementation. This federal mandate imposes prescriptive federal standards be applied nationwide on issuance of Driver Licenses. Failure to meet these mandated standards could result in state’s Driver Licenses and ID Cards not being accepted as identification by federal agencies and other jurisdictions.
While I am very happy to see that something is getting done to protect our Oregon ID, do we really need a manager to oversee it? What are our current ODOT and DMV managers doing? Are they too stupid to implement new rules that keep illegal aliens from getting drivers licenses?
If so, they should be fired and replaced.
Second question, is Oregon going to put off implementing these new rules until the very last minute? Is there going to be an "outreach" push towards the end to make sure that every last illegal alien currently in the state gets a license before the deadline?
I'm looking forward to the week before this rule goes into effect. I think I'll take my camera down to the local DMV...

But if the question was switched then it would be ok
Bryan Harding over at Gay Rights Watch is very upset about a New Mexico public school essay contest that asks students to "explain why preserving marriage between men and women is vital [to] society and why unborn children merit respect and protection."
Apparently the gay groups and NARAL "have proposed offering students a choice of also writing about alternative viewpoints."
Funny, when it comes to schools that want to push homosexuality on the kids these are the same groups who want to call "alternative viewpoints" hate speech.
And my favorite quote by an LGBT hack: "Students in taxpayer-funded public schools simply shouldn't be forced to accept one viewpoint over another, regardless of the issue."
I'm sure that if a pro-gay essay was assigned and a group came out against it then this same lady would be calling them hateful bigots.

If that wasn't enough good old Snoopy gets invited to champion for liberal causes like stopping the execution of a gang member convicted of murder. (Judging by Snoopy's lyrics, it seems that maybe he would rather "cap his ass" himself)

Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
Chicano is our identidy. It is a symbol of resistance as well as a symbol of unity amongst all "Latinos," and has come to represent the struggles and the fight of all the Latinos.
AZTLAN: Today's southwestern United States. Expressed our deepest feelings that we are a people that belong to this land.
Mecha is an organization of Chicano and Latino students that has many seccesses...
Apparently spelling is not one of their many successes and as good as illegal aliens are at identity theft they can't seem to spell it correctly here either.
OK, I can't stop finding spelling errors on this site but I'll let this be the last one: "Students having fun after learning lidership" Must... not... mention... the... irony...
THIS IS OREGON MECHA *MUST SEE PICTURE*
Now I'm not going to get into whether or not schools need counselors (they don't) but I am going to say that the couselors should not be the head of seperationist groups like Mr. Armando Gonzales.
A morning workshop from the governor's conference on minorities in the juvenille justice system titled: We’re Here Y No Nos Vamos: M.E.Ch.A describes him this way:
Armando Gonzales is a Counselor at Gresham High School and a board member of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A) Statewide.
Mr. Gonzales can be contacted at this email armando_gonzales@gbsd.gresham.k12.or.us and I would encourage that you suggest he resign either his post on the MECHA board or his taxpayer funded position of student counselor.
And for those of you who haven't seen the Woodburn school's MECHA site (which can only be described as something Hitler could have designed) see my previous post.

Attoney General's aren't supposed to enforce the law
From a memo put out by Oregon attorney general Hardly Matters.
We have been given no reason to believe any person to be interviewed has violated any law, including any federal immigration statute. If, in the course of the interview, the state investigator develops a suspicion the interviewee may be in violation of federal immigration laws, the investigator should ask no further questions relating to such possible violation.
It's like the corrupt cop who walks in on the mafia beating someone to death but says "I didn't see nothing" and walks back out.

But what kind of trees?
If you listened to John Gibson (fill in for Tony Snow) yesterday then you heard that there are several groups (such as Liberty Counsel) who have lawyers standing by to defend Christmas.
The American Family Association also has a petition to sign to the list of retailers who have chosen not to use the word "Christmas."
Yes, it seems that the Grinch's problem is not that his heart is three sizes too small but that he is a card carrying member of the ACLU.
I intend to chronicle as many anti-Christmas (read: anti-Christian) examples as I possibly can.
One that was sent to me by a friend is from Providence Health Systems. They are having a "festival of trees" rather than a Christmas party. It's not explained if these are palm trees, maple trees, some sort of fir trees, or what the significance of the tree is. Maybe it's, GASP, Christmas but heaven forbid that Providence say that out loud.

Robert Liberty: Future kids shouldn't have what I had
Metro Councilor Robert Liberty:
“Ozzie is dead, and Harriet is a working mom,” Liberty said. “What we need are homes for single-parent families who want to live near where they work, shop and go to school.”
The former head of 1000 Enemies of Property Owners (commonly called 1000 Friends of Oregon) wants to build our communities to cater to single mothers.
Never mind that there isn't a reputable study out there that doesn't say that the biggest indicator of a child's success is whether or not they grow up in a two-parent, married, household. (If you don't believe me head on down to your local jail or prison and survey the inmates to see how many had a traditional family)
So is Liberty a success story for the single-parent, urban living, panacea? Hardly.
Robert Liberty's boyhood home on NE Bryce Street, Portland, Oregon
Robert, age 2, with his family, circa 1955
But where is he now?
He lives in southeast Portland, in the Richmond neighborhood, with his partner, Khanh Tran.
I did a screen capture of the satellite imagery of his current house but it doesn't publish well in a small size. Head on over to http://maps.google.com/ and enter the address 3431 SE Tibbetts St, Portland, OR 97202-1846 and click "satellite."
It doesn't appear that Mr. Liberty lives near where he "works, shops, and goes to school" but this hypocrit is very eager to put a stop to the "family neighborhood" and replace it with a sardine can where kids have no yard to play in and the parents are too scared to send them outside anyways.

Liberals: Scared to reveal their feelings to the public
As you saw on my previous post there is a huge list of Oregon organizations that oppose local law enforcement being able to enforce our immigration laws. That is, if an illegal alien comes up to a police officer and says "I broke your immigration laws and I'm here illegaly" the officer can't do a thing.
But as usual, some of the people who support criminals don't want their views to be brought to public attention. Case in point:
M I N U T E S
Human Rights Commission
McNutt Room – Eugene City Hall, 777 Pearl Street
Ms. Martinez-Wenzl reminded the commission that she had provided information about the CLEAR Act at the last commission meeting. She said that she was requesting that the HRC go on record opposing the CLEAR Act. She explained that the acronym stood for Clear Law Enforcement for Alien Removal. She said that the act would undo all of the work done last year to preserve Oregon’s 181 Laws, specifically Oregon Revised Statute 181.50, which prohibited police from enforcing federal immigration law when there was not evidence of some kind of other criminal activity.
Mr. Kelly asked Ms. Martinez-Wenzl where the information about who opposed the legislation would be publicized. Ms. Martinez-Wenzl said that there was a statewide effort to campaign against the legislation and that the American Civil Liberties Union was organizing that effort. She said that the information about who opposed the legislation would go on record with the National Immigration Forums list of organizations, cities, etc. opposing the act.
Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Souers, moved that the HRC recommend to the IGR Committee that the City of Eugene oppose the CLEAR Act. The motion passed unanimously, 11:0.
So, Eugene City Councilor David Kelly was worried about where his treasonous acts might be published. After getting reasurred that he would have sufficient cover he went ahead with his vote to help criminals operate in our state more freely.
Well Mr. Kelly, you sorry excuse for a public servant, your traitorous deeds are now published here, along with your email adress: david.s.kelly@ci.eugene.or.us
I hope that you all take a moment to give Mr. Kelly a piece of your mind. And you Eugene residents, perhaps you could organize some sort of publicity stunt to shame Mr. Kelly.

Mr. Kelly, seconded by Mr. Souers, moved that the HRC recommend to the IGR Committee that the City of Eugene oppose the CLEAR Act. The motion passed unanimously, 11:0.
So, Eugene City Councilor David Kelly was worried about where his treasonous acts might be published. After getting reasurred that he would have sufficient cover he went ahead with his vote to help criminals operate in our state more freely.
Well Mr. Kelly, you sorry excuse for a public servant, your traitorous deeds are now published here, along with your email adress: david.s.kelly@ci.eugene.or.us
I hope that you all take a moment to give Mr. Kelly a piece of your mind. And you Eugene residents, perhaps you could organize some sort of publicity stunt to shame Mr. Kelly.

This is your brain on liberalism
Actually it's just some fruit that my kid brought home but I imagine a creature that believes affirmative action isn't racist, guns kill people and that ANWR is a pristine wildlife destination probably has a brain that's similair is size, shape, and color to this.

Tex. Senator Shown Evidence of Arab Personal Effects at Mexican Border
Sen. John Cornyn (R.-Tex.), chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship, told HUMAN EVENTS he has seen anecdotal evidence of Arabic belongings--including juice boxes with Arabic writing and an image of a plane hitting a building--that were discovered in Larado, Tex., near the Mexican border.
Human Events has an interview with Cornyn about the practicers of The Religion of Peace coming across the Mexican border.
It's not enough that we have to worry about the guys who want to take our jobs, rape our daughters, and sell drugs in our neighborhoods. Now we have to worry about hearing "praise allah" right before we get blown up.

Kudos to Kulongoski
Relating to criminal procedure; amending ORS 181.850
181.850. (1) No law enforcement agency of the State of Oregon or of any political subdivision of the state shall use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation of law is that they are persons of foreign citizenship [residing] present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.
Approved by the Governor [Kulongoski] July 17, 2003
And I'm sure that hundreds of rape victims, drunk driving victims, hit and run victims, property crime victims, ID theft victims, burglary victims and 16 year old girls who are subject to lecherous stares all thank you Governor! Let's elect someone who will repeal this law!

Hey law enforcement, how about enforcing the law!
The following letter was sent to the Portland office of ICE today. This is the third request from OFIR that ICE attend the Carousels of Information. Both Pres. Ludwick and V.P. Hickey made earlier requests. As an eye witness to the presence of State employees at these carousels, V.P. Hickey wrote the following:
Mr. Anthony Ho
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
511 NW Broadway
Portland OR 97209
RE: Interior Enforcement in Oregon of Federal Immigration Laws
Dear Mr. Ho:
This letter is addressed to you and all members of the federal immigration enforcement team in Oregon.
This letter will serve as our third notice requesting enforcement of the laws against illegal immigration. The purpose of your taxpayer-funded positions is to enforce the immigration laws. Our next course of action will be to involve the U.S. Attorney's office. We will no longer accept your non-enforcement of applicable immigration law and will utilize all legal actions available to us. In this era of terrorism and drug trafficking from foreign nations, we have been extremely patient, to no avail.
A foreign government is succeeding in undermining your efforts to enforce immigration law.
On December 3, 2005, in Woodburn, Oregon, the Mexican Consulate will again sell their version of photo ID, called a Matricula Consular card, regardless of the legal status of the Mexican nationals to whom the cards are issued. We understand that LEGAL immigrants have proper identification as presented to them by U.S. authorities and understand that these U.S. issued immigration ID/papers are sufficient to work/drive/bank in the United States of America.
We therefore conclude that a majority, if not all, of the applicants for this Matricula Consular card are NOT authorized to be in the United States. In fact an Attorney for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a Washington DC group, said that "possession of this Matricula Card is prima facie evidence that the person is unlawfully present in the United States." Also the Mexican Consulate in San Jose, CA, said "We estimate 70% of applicants are undocumented" & "immigration status is a concern of U.S. authorities, not us."
Also on this same day, Dec. 3, several Oregon state agencies will be present to assist likely illegal aliens in "How to find an available job in Oregon," "register to vote in Oregon," "How to get a drivers license," "information about unemployment benefits," "What to do if injured on the job." We understand that ANY State or local official/employee who provides any benefit or service, such as those explained on the "Carousel of Information" poster, would be subject to criminal liability under 8 USC sec. 1324. They posses the criminal intent (mens rea) necessary for a felony indictment under 8 USC 1324.
Mr. Ho, state/local employees/officials are in the building, and they are assisting. I am a witness and have several more witnesses. In addition, we have newspaper and TV reports verifying the same.
We conclude that the Mexican Consulate and Oregon State officials and employees are undermining your efforts to enforce immigration laws. We conclude that they assume you will NOT do your duty as an ICE agent assigned to carry out ICE's mission.
We formally request your presence on 12/03/05 in Woodburn to enforce immigration law. This could be facilitated by pre-screening applicants for the Consular card and by arresting the State or local employees/officials for violation of federal laws.
We understand that your presence at this "Carousel of Information" just one time, could set a precedent that ICE is doing its job. We suspect that the Mexican Consulate may stop traveling throughout our state to sell their ID, and that Oregon agencies will then cease participating for concern that they may be prosecuted, as they should be.
This "Carousel" is happening soon, within about two weeks. We anticipate your quick response to this notice.
Sincerely,
Rick Hickey, Vice President
OFIR, and Rick in particular, are doing a commendable job in pursuing this fight through the various legal mechanisms. We aren't going to lose. I would suggest we step up the pressure by using this contact info and requesting ICE to have a presence at the next carousel.

College proffessor arrested
Nonviolent Iraq War protesters arrested on University campus
Seven people, including a former University professor, were arrested on campus Friday at the Military Science building after blocking the building’s entrances and holding a sit-in to protest the Iraq War as part of a national day of non-violent civil disobedience.
"Civil disobediance" is just a fancy way that hippies say "breaking the law."
The honorable protestors:
Stevens said he did not volunteer to be arrested because he’s a single parent but said he would be willing to in the future if the proper “support systems” were in place.
I feel sorry for your child. Not just because you are a single parent, which will screw the kid up, but because you are obviously an idiot.
Cohen stood in handcuffs for almost two hours while waiting for the EPD to pick her up and gave interviews to the many members of the press who were present.
I feel sorry for this guy because he probably felt a huge sense of self-importance because of the media's over-eager attitude to quote any idiot who opposes the war. Sadly, that self-importance won't follow you into the real world.
In a statement released by Mary Stanik, a University spokeswoman, she wrote that the University “wholeheartedly welcomes the exercise by its students, staff and faculty of the right of free speech and the right to demonstrate” so long as it “does not interfere with the rights of others.”
By "does not interfere with the rights of others" she means that if liberals are offended then it's not free speech.

Bless the Founding Fathers
I sure am glad that when our Founding Fathers set up the greatest country on earth that they recognized that providing recreation was governments job. If they didn't do that then maybe the city of Portland wouldn't be hiring a Recreation Coordinator.
Thankfully this recreation coordinator is required to "meet specific needs and desires of diverse communities; be culturally competent - having exposure to, recognizing the value of, and having the skills and ability to work effectively with a culturally diverse workforce and community..."
Otherwise I would wonder if government really was serious about living up to it's mandate to provide recreation for the masses.

PC run amok
The folks over at Tongue Tied alwasy do a great job of documented ridiculous politically correct garbage. This week's article is no different:
When Diversity Is Racist, Minority Monologues
When Diversity Is Racist, Minority Monologues
Study: We hate the free market
Study says Wal-Mart Supercenter jobs would lower Central Oregon wages
“Working people are told that if they get a job and go to work every day, they will move up the economic ladder,” says Michael Funke, chairperson of Central Oregon Jobs with Justice, a labor-community group that works for economic justice. “But far too many people are forced to take low-wage jobs that keep them mired in poverty. A job should lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.”
“We don’t need more Wal-Mart jobs that continue the downward spiral of wages in our community,” says Funke of Jobs with Justice. “We don’t really have a ‘labor shortage’ in our community. We have a wage shortage created by employers who don’t pay a decent wage. Central Oregon workers deserve living wage jobs that can support their families.”
Central Oregon workers should be paid the wage that their labor is worth. If you are a drunken high-school dropout who doesn't have an ounce of ambition and isn't interesting in improving your skills then a job should not lift you out of poverty.
Again, I say that Republicans should propose making the minimum wage $90K/year. They could give testimony prattling on about "a Cadillac in every garage" and get all teary when they talk about how some families don't have vacation homes.
I would love to hear Democrats argue against this. How could they? By their logic (by logic I mean stupidity) this is the best idea since sliced bread.
Bottom line: There is no difference in raising the minimum wage $0.50 or $50K, a person is either paid what their work is worth or they aren't.

Shoot them dead
Just got back from a scout camping trip. We went up to Camas WA to a little lake. While I don't come right out and say that I'm a radical right-winger (though I would if someone asked or it was an appropriate time) I make thoughtful and persuasive arguments on all political issues when they come up in these group settings.
Whether it's a sales tax (Others: I'll support it if they will reduce another tax) or open primaries (Others: It seems fair, I vote my concience) I find that I am able to simply shut the conversation down with Lars Larson style logic.
Just a reminder that no everyone listens to Lars everyday and re-reads Ann Coulter books like they are a bible. You have to tailor your conservative message to people who aren't as involved as you may be.
Anyways, I come home to two very interesting stories. First, my wife says that she turned on Sesame Street this morning (Sunday) and found that it was all Spanish. That's our tax dollars at work. Nice.
Second I got an email from Rick (VP of OFIR) with the subject of "WAR w/Mexico started today"
Now I believe that war with Mexico started quite a while ago (if I was in charge then we would at least treat Mexico the way we treat Cuba and possibly assasinate Vicente Fox) but this story from WND is nuts.
Armed standoffon Rio Grande
U.S. Border Patrol agents were backed down this week by armed men, dressed in what appeared to be Mexican military uniforms and carrying military weapons, who seized a captured dump truck filled with marijuana from the U.S. agents and dragged it across the border into Mexico with a bulldozer.
"It's a very serious incident," Doyal said. "We are very fortunate ... no one got hurt. Everyone had the presence of mind not to cause an international incident, or start shooting."
We are like a rape victim who doesn't want to cause an incident by reporting the crime. This just means that the criminal is able to commit another crime another day.
It's no suprise that a google news search of "Mexico" "armed" "drugs" returns so many hits.
The corrupt Mexican government enjoys the money that the drugs provide and they turn a blind eye. The corrupt American government enjoys pandering to racists and turns a blind eye. The American people get screwed.
I wish that they had just shot the smugglers dead.

HillaryCare in small doses
Kulongoski: Health care plan on tap; sales tax not
Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski said Friday he is planning to unveil a health care plan that could provide coverage to every child in the state, as well as poor and middle-class families.
Kulongoski, addressing a sold-out Portland Business Journal Power Breakfast crowd, also said that he supports "a consumption tax," but stopped short of saying that he'd back a statewide sales tax.
A "consumtion tax" is a sales tax, so he didn't "stop short" of saying anything. And he certainly won't stop short of taking your money.
Talking about Vermont and ex-governor Dean:
"He made it his objective that every child from prenatal to (the age of) 18 have access to health care," Kulongoski said. "And they now cover almost 100 percent." Dean subsequently rolled out the plan to middle-class families, Kulongoski added.
"So now every family in Vermont has some identification with someone in this plan," he said. "And none of the legislators want to cut the program because it isn't perceived as a public welfare program, it was a program all citizens had access to.
Democrats never do try to hide the fact they are are manipulative in their ways to fool the American people. Kulongoski is saying that we would never accept socialized medicine under one name but that they can slowly incorporate it into people's daily lives until we become numb to it. Kind of like boiling a frog.
"I do believe you need a consumption tax, but how do you get citizens to make that change?" he said.
Translation: I want a sales tax, how can I fool Oregon citizens into supporting it?
On the tax front, Kulongoski noted that because 70 percent of the state's revenues come from personal income taxes, recessions hit Oregon particularly hard.
Translation: Just because you have less money doesn't mean that government should have less money.
