Trent Lott: Proof That Too Much Hairspray Causes Brain Damage
Senate Leaders Agree to Revive Immigration Bill
What part of Illegal Aliens do these people not understand.
Amnesty is wrong because:
Trent Lott, once a young conservative star, has become just another DC Pol. He and others in Congress who support this bill/idea obviously do not know what we, citizens, feel nor think. Nor do they care.
It is pretty sad when such a powerful man feels inadequate to "talk radio". Maybe it is a electromagnetic wave fear. Or frequency. Or maybe the power of the people.
“Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Amnesty is wrong because:
- These people broke the law
- It is unfair to those who have been obeying our laws of immigration
- We don't know who these illegals are

Ron Paul: Isolationist VS Non-Intervention
In an earlier post on Ron Paul (here) Ric asked:
Ric is being reasonable in asking his question and polite, which seems a difficult quality for many RP supporters, in his asking. Thank you Ric.
Ron Paul says he is not an Isolationist:
In a 1791 letter concerning the Barbary Pirates, Jefferson wrote:
In 1801 when Jefferson became President, he refused to pay tribute, or bribes, and he changed his earlier declarations of the US only needing a small coastal navy for defense by sending a squadron of ships to kick Tripoli's butt. They did, we got our sailors back and the issue of tribute was solved.
In today's world, terrorists ask us to pay tribute and to bribe us, in many forms, through terror. The enemy is different, but the concept is the same. I think Jefferson answered Congressman Paul adequately by his actions and by his own words.
By not going after terrorism where it breeds and by not redirecting the terrorist's energy to another place, such as Iraq, is not only incredibly stupid, it would also ignore precedent set by one of our Founding Fathers. If today, a theoretical group of Barbary pirates used our planes to kill our citizens and regrouped to do worse so as to "bribe" us into doing their bidding, President Jefferson would act forcefully and immediately. He wouldn't have allowed a UN to qualify our soveriegnty.
Not interfering with France's economy for our financial gain is non-intervention. Not going after those that have attacked us is isolationism. And pretty damned stupid.
There are a lot of assumptions and accusations but there are no real
arguments or reasoning behind them, Could you please explain in detail at least
one of these issues so that we can have a constructive and not a destructive
dialogue???Ric
Ric is being reasonable in asking his question and polite, which seems a difficult quality for many RP supporters, in his asking. Thank you Ric.
Ron Paul says he is not an Isolationist:
Thomas Jefferson summed up the noninterventionist foreign policy position perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.” Washington similarly urged that we must, “Act for ourselves and not for others,” by forming an “American character wholly free of foreign attachments.”
In a 1791 letter concerning the Barbary Pirates, Jefferson wrote:
"lastly our determination to prefer war in all cases to tribute under any form,
and to any people whatever."

PROOF for #4 and # 5 in the comments:
I'd bring up the Bible, but I doubt you have ever heard of it, but strategically and tactically, having Israel as our partner and ally in the heart of Arab lands is a pretty good idea. Just hate those Jews, don'tcha RonPaulBoy? How is that International Jewish Conspiracy working out for you?

conspiracy

Don't bother, this asshat is another Israel-Firster who's only agendaDear tsoldrin,

Czech President Too Logical For Faux Intellectuals Like Gore
Freedom, not climate, is at risk
By Vaclav Klaus
As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel
obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market
economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.
...
The issue of global warming is more about social than natural sciences
and more about man and his freedom than about tenths of a degree Celsius changes in average global temperature.
As Dinah Lord said, "The brown shirts now wear green". Environazis are seeking the power to re-educate us all and force their
I'd believe a man who has been there. Of course, I wouldn't believe Al Gore if he gave me the time of day.
Jane Is A Fred Head
Fredheads Unite!There is no candidate in this race who has completely blown my skirt up, but many of you have asked me to hurry up and call the ball. Will this help?
No President of mine should walk on water, but his feet had better be damned dry.
No President of mine should have bigger buddies in business than he has from his hometown church.
No President of mine should expect to lead from the rear and maintain the devotion of his Base.
Congress,The Media And The Soldier
The LA Times reports:
Under a sweltering Iraqi sky, [Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis, commanding
general of Marine Forces Central Command] asked for questions from his
troops.
Many were reluctant, but Marine Lance Cpl. Jack Kessel, 19,
of Raleigh, N.C., stepped forward. Something had been gnawing at him as he and
his buddies go about the business of winning hearts and minds in al-Anbar
province: “How are we supposed to fight a war when people back home say we’ve already lost?”
...
Marines continue to exceed their re-enlistment goals. A recent study
showed that those who have deployed twice to Iraq are more likely to re-enlist
than those who have gone once. The Marine least likely to re-enlist is one who
has not deployed to Iraq.
...
Mattis told the Marines to believe their own eyes rather than news
accounts about who is winning the war. Don’t be discouraged by politicians and
pundits who haven’t been to Iraq: “Don’t hold it against them. The only reason
they have that freedom of speech is because you’ll fight for it.”
I can't add to that.

General Pace Is Incompetent Says Harry Reid
Reid labels military leader 'incompetent'
Reid has disparaged the war, the President, the Vice President, the senate, the house, Rumsfeld, Gates, Condi Rice, US intelligence, US corporations, the leadership of Iraq, the leadership of Afghanistan, Republicans, Conservatives, wayward Democrats, the lack of a surge, the surge, and now Gen. Peter Pace and Gen. David Petraeus, but he supports the troops, just not what they’re doing nor anyone who supports them.
Everyone else is wrong, but Harry.
Harry isn’t a typical liberal elitist, he is a dysfunctional man in a place of leadership, but at least he’s learned not to stomp his feet in public.
Unfortunately, Harry is getting people killed, terrorized and causing families just like ours to have their hope crushed. All because he is right and we are wrong.
Sad for him, sad for us.
UPDATE: Crotchety Old Bastard (He's earned the title) is not of mixed emotions.
UPDATE II: Correction: I Do HATE This Puny Man. I knew he did. He should.

Pelosi, Reid, Democrats Sink To New Low
Iraq surge a failure, top Democrats tell Bush
Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush
Wednesday that his Iraq troop "surge" policy was a failure.
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives
Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter,
ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.
"As many had forseen, the escalation has failed to produce the
intended results," the two leaders wrote.
"The increase in US forces has had little impact in curbing the
violence or fostering political reconciliation.
"It has not enhanced Americas national security. The unsettling
reality is that instances of violence against Iraqis remain high and attacks on
US forces have increased.
"In fact, the last two months of the war were the deadliest to date
for US troops.
I have no doubt they wrote this release before the surge began.
Even for Reid and Pelosi this is a new low in political hackery and they're marching on the bodies of troops, both alive and dead, toward their goal of power. They set their course and now they realize it has become a test of brinkmanship and a final roll of the dice on their part. The troops be damned. The security of the United States of America be damned. Freedom be damned. In fact, the truth be damned.
Shame on Pelosi, Reid, and the rest. Shame on those that have bought into their sham. Shame on each and every reporter and editor that support their lies.
To make people's effort worthless robs those people of their self-worth and that is what Reid, Pelosi and their enablers are doing to every person that wears our country's uniform. To play political games with the freedom of the 50 plus million people of Iraq, Afghanistan and others watching with hope, is more despicable than imaginable. The worst, though, is to knowingly lie, at the expense of those who hope for freedom and those fighting for that freedom, to the electorate to gain their tawdry goal of political power.
Reid and Pelosi are not the loyal opposition. They're not even loyal. They are not "citizen representatives", they are old, burned out hacks clawing for their political lives. I pray they fail.
I hate liars.
Drugs For The Droogs
"I was cured, all right..." .When one tears the fabric of society by heinous crimes they should be separated from society completely and forever, not used for political purposes as was Alex.
Reid Steps Up To The Bar
US Democrats preview new Iraq showdown
Reid said however that Democrats, saddled with a thin majority in
Congress, had raised unrealistic expectations about their ability to end the
war, among supporters who powered their takeover of Congress last
year.
"We set the bar too high,"
Actually sir, you set the bar so low so that even slime like you could get over it.
ADDED THOUGHTS: Jonn Lilyea at This Ain't Hell has some solid advice for Liberals.
Camille Paglia Endorses Giuliani & Romney?
Don't run, Al. Don't!
Despite numerous polls claiming that registered Democrats like myself
are happy with their current field of presidential contenders, the Gore boomlet
betrays subterranean tremors of doubt. After two major televised debates by both
parties, only a Pollyanna on helium would believe that any of the top-tier
Democrats will definitely be able to defeat a leading Republican like Mitt
Romney or Rudy Giuliani.
dot dot dot
Right now, the Democrats' best hope may be for the Republicans to veer
right and nominate an erratic aging boy like the seedy Newt Gingrich or a
Hollywood caricature of vintage 1910 American small-town life like the
phlegmatically pithy Fred Thompson, whose homespun act feels tired and looks
tired.
So, Fred Thompson is a sluggish, but tersely cogent caricature as he reflects average American citizens who Ms Paglia finds tiresome in all aspects while Giuliani and Romney are the top tier candidates for Republicans. Oh, and Newt is an erratic aging boy who is seedy which is a Paglia calling kettle black moment.
But the TV pundits who rushed to proclaim Hillary the winner of the
second debate were off by a mile. Hillary excelled in the first half by the
greater specificity of her responses, but her gains were nearly wiped out at one
point by her bone-chilling mirthless chuckling (like a sound effect for the
Blood Countess in a horror film).
dot dot dot
For many Democrats like me, however, Hillary's history of
prevarication, rigidity and quasi-divine sense of election is profoundly
unsettling. And who exactly would be running the government -- that
indefatigable buttinski, Bill Clinton? Spare us! But Hillary's intricate
experience with the Washington bureaucracy makes Edwards (toward whom I've been leaning) and Obama (whom I may shift to) look like shaky tyros.
I am jealous that she thought to define Hillary as a Blood Countess sound effect. Paglia may lean herself to Obama, which I think unlikely and contrived, but she has made me lean towards Thompson.

Judge Decries National Holiday for Atheists
In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a wise judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah... yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!"
The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, "Obviously your client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!"
The lawyer pompously said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be, your Honor?"
The judge said, "Well it comes every year on exactly the same date -- April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools' Day', consider that Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53 state, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'
Therefore, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture he is a fool, thus April 1st is his holiday!"

A drunk, who smelled of beer sat down, on a bus seat next to a priest.
The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick and a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.
After a few minutes the man turned to the priest and asked, "Tell me, Father, what causes arthritis?"
The priest replied, "My Son, it is caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man, sleeping around with prostitutes and a lack of personal hygiene."
The drunk muttered in response, "Well, I'll be darned," and returned to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, put his hand gently on the man's arm and apologized.
"I'm sorry.... I should not have come down on you so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have arthritis, Father," the drunk replied. "I was just reading here that the Pope does."

The Death Of Communist USSR
Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate West Berlin, Germany June 12, 1987
Prosperity and freedom has a nice ring to it. Why are so many opposed to Iraq and Afghanistan having some?
Or for that reason, why are so many opposed to having some here in America?
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for
the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to
this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this
wall!
Prosperity and freedom has a nice ring to it. Why are so many opposed to Iraq and Afghanistan having some?
Or for that reason, why are so many opposed to having some here in America?
