Open Thread


For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: the inner workings of an illegal immigrant smuggling ring:

Forty-eight people accused of taking part in an immigrant trafficking ring have been indicted on human smuggling and money laundering charges, authorities said.

The group brought in as much as $130,000 a week moving people from Naco, Mexico, to its center of operations in Phoenix and then to destinations across the United States, Phoenix police Lt. Vince Piano said Thursday.

Does this shock you? What does it say about our immigration policy and our borders? Will either Party ever come up with a solution that will be both effective AND politically beneficial to them, which, of course, is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than good policy, right?

And now, today's Shrub

And now, today's Shrub Report®:

Just a thought: why are they naming the victims of the N Illinois U shooting, but not the shooter? I wonder… Thankfully, it happened in a gun-free zone.

Speaking of douchebags killing people, 75 years ago today, an Italian wee-man tried to assassinate FDR in Florida. Since this Commie/Anarchist dumbass was only five feet tall, he had to stand on a rickety chair to get a good view of FDR at a speech. The chair wobbled at the wrong time, causing this tard to miss his shot, but did kill the mayor of Chicago, who was seated next to FDR. He confessed to police: "I have the gun in my hand. I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists." Eventually the dumbass was executed, and his last words, in true "Johnny Dangerously" fashion, were: "Viva Italia! Goodbye to all poor peoples everywhere! Lousy capitalists! No picture! Capitalists! No one here to take my picture. All capitalists lousy bunch of crooks. Go ahead. Pusha da button!" (quote courtesy of Wiki)

The Democrat(ic)s are removing the "burden" of the people deciding who their presidential candidate (since you common folk are too stupid to decide these things on your own…) by creating "Super Delegates", which are being handsomely-rewarded by the candidates. Laughable and pathetic.

State Dept

Isn't the State Department responsible for visas?  Can't there be an Executive Order written increasing the number of visas for Mexican citizens who have work in the US?  This really doesn't seem to be a difficult problem. 

No it doesn't shock me.  Where there is an opportunity to make money people will do it.  If the visas were opened up then the opportunitys would increase and legal immigration would be the more cost effective way to get here.

Since government is coercion, politics is largely the exercise of deception regarding the intended use of coercion - George Orwell

In my opinion America has

In my opinion America has no leaders. From the White House to Congress to any of the 50 Governor's, no strong leaders with deep convictions, strong priorities and an understanding of the purpose of government. While Congress is holding hearings on baseball players, we have China penetrating U.S. databases (with the help of our own citizens), we need billions of dollars per year to fund Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid...the list goes on and on.

I am so discouraged at this point. To be honest, I don't really see it turning around...ever. I fear for my kids and their future kids.

So, your glass is 1/4 full

not even half!?! That kind of thinking allows the demolibs to think everyone else needs help.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

FastEd, I don't

FastEd,

I don't understand what your point is...."not even half"? Please explain. I don't need help from anyone, I am just saying we need a true Conservative leader who is willing to put aside their ego and power to put America first and all she stands for.

Being discourage

and things never turning around - it will, even with all those who don't have any idea about politics or what is going on around them - things will get better, even if we hit a rough spot like the one you describe. We had a depression, 5 wars, and we are still the country everyone loves (some to hate). If not here, where would you go?

What you won't hear on the news, the country is heading toward more conservatism, but is is a silent movement - wait a few years, the seeds have been planted.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

FastEd, I hear what you

FastEd,

I hear what you are saying, perhaps I am just having a bad day.

You must get my point about all the stupid things going on in Congress.

Yes, and yes, there are stupid things going on in Congress.

Huckabee still holding grudge against Romney calling him fake

Huckabee cannot stop attacking Romney and sucking up to McCain even when Romney has been out of the race for awhile.  Very Petty Man who will be one of the frontrunners in the next cycle.

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/02/14/huckabee-i-wont-have-to-take-acting-lessons-to-endorse-mccain/

I don't think so, Dan

Huckabee's got a very narrow appeal, and his 15 minutes as a Presidental candidate are nearly over.  

But, since MSNBC has been pushing him so shamelessly, he'll probably pop up in their programming.

 

"I really like Mike Huckabee."  -uber lib Mika Brezinski

I think he could win Iowa again which would give MSM a

reason to pump him again and use him for their strategies.

Nah. His schtick has already begun to wear thin

...at least as a Presidental candidate.  Of course, the MSM has plenty of opportunities for political has-beens.

I've lived in SoCal for more than 40 years, nothing about illegal migration shocks me anymore. Not even the discovery of a wire trap, meant to decapitate border patrol officers, near here the other day.

Yesterday's news had a story about yet another group of activists trying to have "Baja California" officially declared a Sanctuary State. Yeah, like it isn't already.

“...Bury me on my face,” said Diogenes; and when he was asked why, he replied, “Because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”

illegal immigrants??

As for the Republican politicians, who having lived in their psychologically gated community so long that they no longer are aware of or care what those slobs in fly-over country want or need, it is harder for them to understand what the big deal is about illegal immigrants than it is for Dawkins to understand the Trinity.

As for the Democrats, who long ago defined away the existence of sin, they have subsequently lost the general understanding of “illegal”. Now for Democrats “illegal” describes anything that Republicans do (or even say) that they do not like, or more importantly that gets in the way of their assumption of power – which ipso facto is ever legal by their definition of “legal” itself. What does “legal” or “illegal” have to do with “immigrants” anyway? What the Democrats want is more judges who make a mockery of the constitution, law, and legality in the first place.

Arlen Specter

Yesterday Specter met with Goodell over the so called Spygate tapes. He was not satified with the commissioner's explaination. 

I urge each of you to sent this clown an e-mail and tell him enough is enough. This country faces bigger issues than the Patriots taping their opponents. It is time to get back to what is important. 

Here is a link to a form to send him a nasty e-mail. Please take just a bit of time and tell him to butt out of the NFL's business.

To paraphrase the Dixie

To paraphrase the Dixie Chicks: Just so you know, a lot of us are embarrassed that Arlen Specter comes from Pennsylvania.

If you write to Specter, you will probably get a "topic-generated" form reply that says something like thank you for your interest, I too believe this is a serious problem, in fact I plan to have hearings on it.

When I gave him he** for going freelance to Syria, the letter I got back actually bragged about that same thing...I'm so concerned that I went to Syria.....

I kid you not.

 

Mother

This is what I wrote;

Why don't you butt out of the NFL's business. This country has a lot of problems and that is not one of them. You wonder why Congress's ratings are so low? This is one of the reasons.

Don't send me some e-mail stating that you will reply to me only if I am a PA resident. You are paid by the taxpayers of the US. You work for people in all 50 states.

I am just hoping that people will flood his e-mail. Is he going to listen? Probably not but I let my frustation be known. I have sent both Sen. Dole and Burr e-mails telling them how stupid it is to be investigating the NFL and MLB when we can't even secure our borders.

Here is a quick link to the each Senator's web page and e-mail forms.

If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes.-Lewis Grizzard

Well, flooding his email

Well, flooding his email would be a good thing.... LOL

Rant on!

Well, you know what, I AM a resident of PA. I will write him an email, and let you know down the road if I get the same kind of reply from him.

Update:

I went to his website, sent the email. The funny thing is there is a whole list to pick from for the subject of what one wants to express concern about. I had to pick "other" so this is what I wrote:


Dear Senator Specter

The NFL is NOT included in your list of concerns that we might wish to call your attention to. Which makes me wonder why it is even a problem for the US Senate to be considering.
Don't we have more important problems in this country (Many of them actually IN your list there) that the Senate should be spending its time on?

Specter is the perfect example

Senator Specter is the perfect example of the quality (or rather lack of quality) of the current gop crop in congress. Democrat lite. Keep that in mind the next time you choose a congressional candidate.

If Senators make decisions impacting you, they are representing you as well as their voting constituency and you have every right to expect a response from them. You won't get it, but you have every right!

Arlen started the process of opening my eyes about Bush

When GW went to PA in '04 to campaign for Arlen's re-election (in the Primaries - Arlen was running against a GREAT Conservative), I questioned the "conservativeness" of Bush. He actually fooled me twice into voting for him by 'acting' like a conservative while running, then falling into his moderate to liberal ways after election......hmmm who does that sounds like now??

George showed his true colors in supporting Specter; I've been leary of him ever since.

The only suprise here is

The only surprise here is that they were caught!

Now, will they be punished? Arlen Spector should stop waisting taxpayer dollars on jusnk and get down to business on Illegals

Don't hold your collective breaths

Staying out of trouble

I suppose one could also think keeping Arlen busy doing this nonsense could keep him from being involved in anything remotely important. Kind of like giving children crayons on a rainy day to keep them quiet and busy. Unfortunately, Arlen, like the children will probably end up coloring op the walls. It would require some adult supervision. I knew we were in trouble when he got the top seat on the Judiciary Comm. He promised he would behave if he got the job and of course could not. When will the GOP ever learn not to trust these bonehead RINOs in their midst.

Another shooting, another media cover-up.

I'm not interested in instantly-knowing the gun brands & calibers unless I get to know the doc, the drug, and the dosage. Just like last-time, it's likely that either Viagra ads, Cialis ads, or Levitra ads will have paid for the cover-up, but once-again without knowing the specific name of the antidepressant I can't say which boner-drug's paying the media off. Is this a pattern of bias I've busted in these BOHICA-incidents involving schools, guns, and these drugs? You tell me...

Today's Obamanation

Well, it looks as though creating "green collar" make-work jobs isn't enough for Barack Obama. Many people are unaware that he intends to reach into our wallets to the tune of $845 billion over 13 years to fight world poverty.

Of course, if history is any guide, most of this money will likely wind up fattening the Swiss bank accounts of third-world potentates. But hey, it's the good intentions that matter, not the outcome.

Scared yet? 

Sure hope somebody at the RNC is taking notes.

Republicans have lost the election

Today I received a snotty reply from the Liberty Council which is one of the gut roots "Conservative" groups which hammers on politicians to tow the line to the right.

I had floated to them the plan of placing Lynn Cheney on the ticket and received an egomaniac reply from some underling there. This person's rant was one issue on "same sex marriage" and then went on to extol "Mike Huckabee as a solid social conservative".

I corrected them in Mr. Huckabee was not that pro death penalty nor had he ever met a tax he did not try and implement.

In short, Huckabee can not win the south as the black vote there will all go Obama now.

In seeing this insane one voter issue that these rather narrow minded groups are anchoring themselves to, I do not believe the GOP will win as this is not Ann Coulter in trying to work a compromise in wanting Romney on the ticket........these are people whose intent is to completely gut and fragment the GOP.

I wonder now in what Rush Limbaugh has created in his maneuverings have reason behind them, but what I ran into this morning was pure reflection of the smart ass twirps over at Kos and HuffPo.

God help this nation as this strange group of Huckabee zealots IS AS KOOK as Ron Paul's anarchists who are still saying "Devvy Kidd quote":

Ron Paul can still win this at the Minnesota convention.

 

Which was proceeded by:

The elections are all stolen and New Hampshire needs recount.

That all makes perfect sense to these people.

As for the illegals..............hell's bells let all those SOB's in as they seem to be the only crooks making a living in America and know how to play this system.

Give em the vote and lets make America a 3rd world communist state that all these Huckites and Paultrons can just savor as they aren't interested in a Republic........they want a dictatorial anarchy.

The GOP does not work the Lynn Cheney compromise or find a way to bust the DNC voting block they have lost as these groups are dead weight dead minds not interested in winning, but interested in anarchy.

 

God bless the good as we will need His care.

Now I *know* you're nuts.

There's no way Ron Paul can win this in Minnesota, ok? No way. He hired the wrong staff ("professionals"? Hmph -- he shoulda hired ME) as with his newsletter. I've given up -- hell, a week or so ago I tried to negotiate for an end to JUST the Department of "Education." But I'm curious...

If ANY association with ANY racist is automatically-bad&evil, how come I have yet to see any excoriation of Fox News by my moral superiors here? After all, Fox has for years hired Mark Furman, who lost the OJ-case for the prosecution by lying about his own racism, which was if anything more virulent than anything ever said in those newsletters. Sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander, folks, and I've seen 0-mention of that contradiction here. Looks like I've busted another double-standard, whether or not conservative Fox-News-defenders around here are likely to admit to the fact of the double-standard I just-busted...

History Repeating Itself?

America is filled with Beer Gardens loaded with Democrats, right?

From Notable Biographies

The poor economic conditions of the following years contributed to the rapid growth of the party. By the end of 1923, Hitler could count on a following of some fifty-six thousand members and many more sympathizers, and regarded himself as a strong force in Bavarian and German politics. Hitler hoped to use the crisis conditions to stage his own overthrow of the Berlin government. For this purpose he staged the Nazi Beer Hall Putsch of November 8–9, 1923, by which he hoped to force the conservative-nationalist Bavarian government to cooperate with him in a "March on Berlin." The attempt failed, however. Hitler was tried for treason (high crimes against one's country) and given the rather mild sentence of a year's imprisonment in the old fort of Landsberg.

 From Time magazine as seen on Yahoo today:

Meanwhile, Texans for Obama is organizing a debate watching party at one of the city's [Austin, Texas] legendary political watering holes. Over 400 self-styled Obamaniacs have signed up so far to gather at Scholz Garten, an old-style German beer garden near the capitol. It is a mythic place for Texas liberal Democrats — Davis said his activist parents hung out there 30 years ago — and many of the state's legendary progressives have gathered under the old pecan trees to weep in their beer and berate conservative Democrats and, later in the state's history, Republicans. It is the spot where in 1972, back in the days when they were anti-establishment foot soldiers in the George McGovern campaign, the young, long-haired Bill Clinton and his bespectacled law student wife Hillary drank beer and talked passionately about politics. Almost four decades later, many of their friends will be amongst the Democratic power players who get one of the exclusive seats at the debate nearby.

That populist Hitler sure had some kind of audacity of hope.

From Blue Oyster Cult:

History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men
Obama!

Opps... Godzilla!

NO, I don't think Barry is Hitler, though his sycophantic supporters are as desperately dumb as Hitler sympathizers in the 1930's.  All sizzle and no steak with a never ending salad bar of empty promises and feelgood catch phrases.

Who ready for seconds?!?

Despite the fact that every

Despite the fact that every single client of this smuggling ring was an illegasl invader, not once it this entire news story were the illegals referred to as illegals.

 I also noticed that this smuggling is apparently so lucrative and widespread that rival smuggling gangs will waylay and abduct each other's customers!  Law enforcement is only a secondary concern to the smugglers.  That says it all.

We have gone from illegal

We have gone from illegal immigrants, to "undocumented" immigrants, to just plain immigrants, and now, lo and behold, to "customers" of the smugglers.

Hilarious.

MD Diagnoses Hillary, Obama, & the Liberals

WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.

"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter[,MD], author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness."
