Saddam Hussein has been hung.  He may have been a psychopathic genocidal monster and there is no doubt he deserved what he got but he did not die a coward.  The link below is to a video that someone shot of the execution.  It is fairly bad, very grainy, and all over the place.  It shows Saddam calmly saying his final prayers as he steps up onto the scaffold.  For those looking for crying and screaming, this is not going to be too satisfying.

The 2008 U.S. Presidential free-for-all is warming up its engines and getting ready for take-off.  Don’t be left behind.  This your chance for fame and glory.  You don’t need the backing of a recognized political party.  You can create your own party if you want to.  It’s free, it’s easy and if you look at the names on the list below, it’s should be obvious that anyone can do it.  No intellegence, talent, ability or specific moral requirements are necessary.
To become a candidate for President of the United States you must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.  In addition, you must register with the FEC once you (or persons acting on your behalf) receive contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000. Within 15 days of reaching that $5,000 threshold, you must file a Statement of Candidacy authorizing a principal campaign committee to raise and spend funds on your behalf. Within 10 days of that filing, your principal campaign committee must submit a Statement of Organization. Your campaign will thereafter report its receipts and disbursements on a regular basis.  Campaigns should download the Campaign Guide for Congressional Candidates for more information on the laws that apply to them.

The less than credible New York Times distributed another booster club cheer for Mexico’s illegal immigrant invasion this morning with an article carried in the pages of every NYT wannabe paper in the country.

The article states that a significant political shift since the November elections and, support from the Department of Homeland Security have helped to raise new hope that the new Democratic majority in Congress will be able to force through a revised bill that would place millions of illegal trespassing, ID thieving immigrants on a more direct path to American citizenship.  Furthermore, the article claims that the enthusiastic Democrats are considering the abandonment of the provision in the last session’s bill that would require the criminal aliens to leave the United States before becoming eligible to apply for citizenship and, they are also weighing the possibility of eliminating the financing required for building the 700 miles of border fence.

The primary push behind this effort comes from Senators Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, and John McCain, Republican of Arizona whose staff has already began working on the new revision along with the assistance of Representatives Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona, and Luis V. Gutierrez, Democrat of Illinois.

The entire immigration debate took a back seat during the mid-term elections when both parties realized that the majority of American citizens were not sufficiently softened up to the idea of being forced to play second-fiddle to the 14 million criminal trespassers currently violating American laws and draining off large sums of money from the American taxpayers.  The break in the debate gave the New York Times and the rest of the liberal media an opportunity to advance two goals; the first is to further humanize the plight of the identity stealing criminals swarming across our southern border; the second is to more deeply instill the social convention that anyone who does not endorse amnesty and affording greater rights to these criminal parasites is obviously a racist (and God forbid anyone being labeled a racist).

For all their effort at humanizing the identity thieving alien criminals, The New York Times does an admirable job of ignoring the recently released statistics made available from the CDC indicating that more than 70,000 Americans died last year from drug resistant diseases or, that  America’s health care workers are recoiling as the incidence of Clostridium difficile, CA-MRSA, drug resistant Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Chagas disease, Leprosy, malaria, plague, polio, dengue fever and intestinal parasites are all on a major upswing across America as a direct result of looking the other way while 14 million unscreened criminals flood into our country carrying God knows what sort of ugly diseases with them.  The FDA identified the illegal trespassing aliens with no concept of personal hygiene as one of the primary factors contributing to the contamination of fresh produce with the E. coli and Salmonella Typhimurium that has resulted in recent outbreaks of illness and death across the United States.  While they might mention in passing the left’s desire to create a socialized health care system better suited to providing care for Mexico’s cast-off poor, they are certainly not going to explain that over fifty percent of the 43 million without health insurance in this country are Mexican Nationals in this country illegally.  After all, if they did that they would have to admit that the estimated 14 million illegal aliens is more likely to be 25 or 30 million illegal disease carrying criminal aliens. It is far more beneficial to their agenda for the liberally controlled press to prove the need for socialized health care by pointing to the growing cost of medical care in America while leaving out the fact that the cost is growing because the government imposes viciously stiff fines and penalties on any physician or hospital refusing to treat an uninsured illegal alien with no known address who use hospital emergency rooms as their primary health care provider with no intention of paying the bills later.  It’s better to let the American people believe that this country’s health care professionals are as greedy and uncaring as the pornographically rich oil tycoons instead of telling the truth that our country’s health care system is in danger of collapsing under the unnecessary burden put on them by dead-beat criminal aliens.

The United State has spent more money on subsidizing the “rights” of illegal Mexican trespassers in 2006 than they did on winning the war in Iraq.  If they would divert half of that money to other causes we could secure our borders and a decisive victory in the war on terrorism simultaneously.  The truth is not yet a hate crime in the U.S. but if the New York Times has it’s way, it may soon be.

 

 
Another demonstration of the Liberal Press’ less than objective capacity for honest reporting comes to us from today’s issue of the New York Times.  This article was carried as factual news by many American newspapers across the country.  This overly slanted article springboards off of the false claim that the Republican Party was trounced by the Democrats during the midterm elections when the American people issued a clear “mandate” to the Washington administration that change was necessary.  Furthermore it suggests that George W. Bush is now reversing the position he took immediately following the November election, that he has blown off the suggestion that he enlist the help of Syria and Iran in stabilizing Iraq and begin to withdraw American troops from the Middle East.
To begin with, one has to ask, “What mandate?”  The only mandate that I’ve seen lately is the one that exists solely in the minds of the Democrats who tenaciously hang on to their control with the one vote of South Dakota’s Democratic Senator, Tim Johnson, who recently underwent emergency brain surgery after suffering an aneurysm. The probability is high that Tim Johnson may not return to the Senate anytime soon, if ever.  If his seat becomes vacant before January 4, 2007, the Republican South Dakota Governor, Mike Rounds, could easily replace Johnson with a Republican.  The result would be a 50-50 Senate when Congress opens for business leaving Vice President Dick Cheney, as the Senate president, to break any tie votes, a situation that would effectively result in the Republicans once again having the majority.  And all of this time we’ve been thinking that a “mandate” was much more decisive than one desperate thread of slim and possibly fading hope.
As to the alleged reversal of George Bush’s Iraq policy; there hasn’t been one.  He remains as resolute as ever.  The New York Times and their burning desire for an American military defeat in the Middle East will just have to hold their water for the time being.  Maybe if the so-called “journalists” at the New York Times increase their support and encouragement for the enemies of the United States a little more or give away a few more top secret U.S. strategies, they and their al Qaeda allies might be able to pull it off eventually but, for now they will have to be content with their role as al Qaeda’s propaganda arm in the U.S.  In the meantime, while it’s tough to understand how anyone in this country could take the New York Times seriously or why the American government continues to allow these treasonous bastards free reign, we will just have to put up with their manipulative propoganda. 

The California Department of Education handed out $122,389,686 in grants to roughly 22 regional centers through a federally funded program, authorized under the No Child Left Behind Act called The Migrant Education Program.  The California MEP is the largest in the nation. One out of every three migrant students in the United States lives in California. Currently, there are over 330,000 migrant students attending California schools during the regular school year and 178,000 attending summer/intersession classes. 60 percent of the state’s school districts have migrant students in their classrooms.  98 percent of the state’s migrant students are Hispanic. The majority have limited proficiency in English.  The California Department of Education claims that the federal money allocated to the State every year for the education of illegal alien children doe’s not begin to cover the actual expenses incurred.  While the federal government is subsidizing education for the illegal aliens and their children, it is doing little if anything about the financial impact these criminal trespassers are having on our healthcare system.  In 2005 California taxpayers were forced to shoulder the burden of the $340 million dollars that Los Angeles County alone expended for the treatment of uninsured illegal immigrants who use hospital emergency rooms as primary health care providers without any intention of ever paying for the services rendered.  The burden of these unpaid costs is being passed on the citizens of the state in the form of higher healthcare costs effectively putting the American citizens living in California on the hook for the unpaid bills of the illegal aliens.  With the increasing incidence of diseases like Hepatitis B, Tuberculosis and even Leprosy now directly linked to the increase in illegal immigration in this country, financial burdens may not be the only thing that American citizens have to be concerned about.
 

A five minute video clip of President Bush immediately following his notification that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center, was recently made public at www.thememoryhole.org/911/bush-9-11.htm .  It was not thrown out there to the public as a moment in history.  It was thrown out there with the liberally slanted opinion that President Bush sat there for five minutes doing nothing while thousands were dying.

The opinion hung on the video clip is stated as follows:

“What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress.
Not only did the leader of the free world sit as his country was attacked, the Secret Service also did nothing. Bush was appearing in public at a previously announced photo-op. He was a sitting duck. The attacks were ongoing at that point (planes had yet to hit the Pentagon or the field in Pennsylvania), and nobody knew how much more destruction was going to happen. Were there two, three, four, eight more planes hijacked and on their way to crash into prominent buildings? Was one headed for the school, where anyone who checked the President’s public itinerary would know he was located? Were other terrorists planning to detonate dirty nukes? Were they going to release anthrax or smallpox or sarin? Was an assassination squad going to burst into the school and get Bush? Was a suicide bomber going to ram a truck full of explosives into that classroom?”

There was an eighteen minute gap in time between the first plane hitting and the second.  What did the authorities know during that eighteen minute period about the first plane?  Nothing.  They did not know if the strike was intentional.  They did not know who was responsible.  They did not know that other planes were involved.  For all they knew at 8:45 am that morning, the plane that struck to World Trade Center could have been a horrendous accident and it could have been the only plane that was unaccounted for at the time.  Meanwhile, George Bush, who is sitting in a classroom filled with little kids, has no indication that this was an act of terrorism.  What do the liberals who wrote the garbage at the Memory Hole think he should have done?  Maybe if he had of hopped out of his chair, ripped off his clothes to reveal his super hero costume and flown right through the ceiling in his haste to save the day, they would have been satisfied.  Probably not.  They would have said he was reckless and irresponsible for scaring the kids and possibly injuring one of them with collapsing roof tiles.  These people are idiots.  Their stupidity allows them to look back in time to a five minute snapshot taken out of context and reach a biased conclusion based on everything that came out afterwards.  How ridiculous can a person get?  One thing is made clearly obvious by their opinion and that is the Memory Hole is misnamed.  It should be named after another sort of hole, the unrealistic ASS hole seems a lot more fitting.

 

 

Justice without compassion in Macomb County, Michigan

At 84 years old Joseph Perez may be the oldest kidnapper in American criminal history.  He was arrested near Titusville, Florida when authorities were tipped off by a Medicaid claim filed there.  The 84 year old kidnapper was extradited to Warren, Michigan where he was held in the Macomb County Jail on $100,000 bond until the amount was lowered Judge John Chmura of 37th District Court in Warren on December 18, 2006 and he was able to secure his release. Joseph Perez is facing possible conviction on charges of felony kidnapping which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Joseph Perez is being charged with kidnapping as a result of taking his 81 year old wife from the Father Murray Nursing Center in Center Line, Michigan back in January 2005 without authorization.  Joseph’s wife, Helen Perez, had a stroke in 1994 that left her with speech difficulties.  Joseph, who acted as the guardian for his wife, cared for her in their Warren home until she hurt her finger in a door in October 2005. Michigan authorities stripped Joseph Perez of his guardianship after the Local police and the Michigan Department of Human Services leveled unsubstantiated allegations that Joseph Perez was not properly caring for her and that the injury to her finger may have been a possible sign of abuse.  The elderly couple had moved to Florida after Joseph Perez sprang his wife from the nursing home by saying that he was taking her to a dentist’s appointment.  Bethany Scribner, Helen and Joseph’s adult grand-daughter, was quoted as saying that Helen Perez hated the nursing home, “She was begging to get out,” Bethany Scribner said. “My grandfather tried to make it as comfortable for her as possible. Every week he’d pay for a hairdresser to come to the nursing home and do her hair. But she wanted out so they cooked up this scheme to spring her from the nursing home and move to Florida.”

George Heitmanis the court appointed guardian for Helen Perez told the Detroit Free Press that he questioned the actions and intentions of Joseph.  “Joseph Perez took her out on a day pass and never returned. He did not take her medication,” he said.  Mr. Heitmanis was appointed by the State Attorney General in 2003 to serve the citizens of Macomb County as a Public Administrator.

Macomb County assistant prosecutor and the Chief of the Senior Crimes Unit John Latella stated, “We’re looking out for the best interests of the alleged victim.”

Joseph Perez is a retired bus driver.  He will be 85 on Christmas day.  Mr. Perez is a World War II veteran and a Purple Heart recipient for wounds suffered in the defense of the United States of America.

December 15, 2006 marks the 215th birthday of the American Bill of Rights.  On this date in 1791, The Bill of Rights became part of the United States Constitution. As Thomas Jefferson remarked in his 1787 letter to James Madison, “A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on Earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.”
The ten amendments that became the Bill of Rights were drafted by Madison on the model provided by George Mason’s Virginia Declaration of Rights.  James Madison’s effort was intended as a response to the anti-federalists who criticized the Constitution for creating a central government that was far too powerful because they were inclined to the belief that overly powerful governments tend easily to encroach on the fundamental liberties of individuals.  The ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America was predicated on the Massachusetts Compromise.  That compromise provided that Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Virginia would ratify the proposed Constitution with the provision that the document would be amended to protect the most basic rights of the American people.  The Bill of Rights encompassed those protections.
The criticism of the anti-federalists was essentially based on the realistically pragmatic viewpoint that ambitious men and women invested with the authority of government tend to look for ways to increase their power at the expense of those they govern.  Two Hundred and fifteen years in retrospect we can sadly see that their criticism was far more prophetic than cynical.  Furthermore, it is also plainly evident that, despite the dedicated hard work and intense debate necessary to carefully craft those protections with words of irrefutable clarity and purpose, the clever manipulations of those ambitious individuals who came later in our country’s history have managed to effectively cast shadows of ambiguity over the simple principles our forefathers so clearly expressed.

You’ll have to excuse my stunned silence of late.  The thought of Nancy Pelosi being the new speaker has still got me throwing up.  If I can avoid eating my pistol I’m sure I’ll get over it eventually.  Meanwhile, the Gods are laughing at us again.

A man was washed up on a beach after a terrible shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island.

After being there a while, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sun set.

One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle – a perfect night for romance.

As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.

But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep.

After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling.

A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck.

The only survivor was Hillary Clinton.

That evening, the man introduced Hillary to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening – red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze – perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get “those feelings” again..

He fought the urges as long as he could, but he finally gave in and leaned over to Hillary, cautiously and whispered in her ear…

“Would you mind taking the dog for a walk?”
