The Race

The Race

Today Congress voted to give 25 millions dollars to a group that calls itself “The Race”. I'm not sure why the federal government is giving such large sums of money to private organizations. But, why give it to some organization that calls itself “The Race”?

Should we be funding any private organizations, much less a racist one? In defense of this organization they are asking for the funding to build houses and for literary programs. You can be sure much of that money is going for other things, such as campaign donations.Would you want to give 25 million dollars to the “Klu klux Klan”? I don't think so. Lets just fund the “Aryan Nation” while we are at it. I am sure we can find a few Islamic Terrorist groups that could use funding as well.

We just had a bridge to fall from neglect, at least that's where the evidence is pointing at this time. The democrat controlled congress is screaming to raise taxes. Why, so they can give more to racist groups? In a time when the government is looking for ways to cut spending, we get this give away. I am sure there were more than democrats that voted for this funding bill. I am sure there are lots of Americans that support this spending. No doubt there are many more that will never know about it except for those that might visit this blog and those like it that seek to reveal what's happening in our government.

Live Earth

What can I say? I have been watching the Live Earth concert. There is some top-notch entertainment there, but it brings rise to something I have always said. Entertainers should stick to what they do best and keep their mouth shut. Many just prove that they are morons when they open their mouth. Of course, some say the same about me:)

There was one thing said that I thought worth writing about. K. T. Tunstall performed well and then stopped for a short interview afterward. It was there I just shook my head in dismay. She seems to have gone “green”. She said that she had made her tour “green”. The star goes on to say she has purchased 6000 acres of forestland in northern Scotland to offset the production of her CDs. She runs her buses on bio diesel, which I find about the only thing she is doing “green”. She then says that she is tacking one dollar onto the sales of concert tickets so that the fans can have their carbon emissions offset for traveling to the show.

Power to the People

Today was a landmark day in the USA. This day, June 28th, 2007 should go down in history. Not because this is the day that the horrible immigration bill failed, but the day that congress was forced to bend to the will of the people. This was only a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. We the people should celebrate any victory over the government. In the past, congress has bent to the will of the people, but always some minority.

Where do we go from here? “We stay the course,” as President Bush is so fond of saying. Let's continue to use this new-found power and force the government to do the things the majority of the people want. We must make the government understand that the status-quo is not going to work. It's time the government enforce the laws it was sworn to keep.

Seals Dying

This was an article published in the Washington Post in 1922. The headline was "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."

I guess that speaks for itself, no need to say more.

Paris Law

We now know something we have all known for years, society is separated by class. The left seeks to separate us even more. Many times class-ism is looked at as racism. No doubt some of it is, but today something happened that defined class-ism.

Today, after three days, Paris Hilton was released from jail. The police department states the reasons are “medical”. News is slowly trickling out that she would not eat, and cried constantly. Now we know what it takes to get tossed out of jail and get house arrest in a cushy mansion. Of course, I doubt Charles Manson will ever get that sentence, and nor should he.

Federal Failure

Today was a good day in America. Congress worked together to come up with a new immigration law. Today that law failed to come to vote and was sent back to committee, where most go to die. This bill will reemerge, but at least this version is effectively dead. Those for the bill claimed that it had to pass this one or to continue the status quo of doing nothing.

Those of us that have opposed this bill do so for one reason, why pass more laws when no one wants to enforce the current ones. Once the current laws are enforced, there is true effort to build the 720 miles fence that congress has already approved, and then only can we look at changing the current laws.

No doubt we need to expand the quota of immigrant workers. I doubt anyone will argue that point. The Kennedy-McCain bill did provide for that. That bill had a lot of good points. There were also many bad points. There is no need for me to go over that bill verbatim.

Rosie Gets Hers

I am sure I am only going to say the same thing that millions of Americans are saying. It’s about time someone let Rosie O’Donnell have it. That woman has used a platform that most will never have to spout lies and misinformation. Why ABC let her continue as long as she did I will never know. There will be no surprise when the leftist media in this country gives her another platform to spout hate.

A lot of people are asking, why is this so important. There are more important things in the world than Rosie O’Donnell. I am sure there are, but this is more important than most realize. Rosie is stating things that millions of others believe. Those lies and mis-truths are rampant on the Internet. It’s hard to determine the root of these lies. I do know that it seems most Canadians and Europeans believe them. Maybe they are getting it from the BBC. We do know the BBC is a far left socialist news organization.

ANOTHER SOLDIER'S VIEWPOINT

think this is as close to exactly how it is in Iraq.

Here's his letter :

Following the article I sent about Bush's national address and troop increase, I thought it was a good idea to let you all know what the perspective is over here. I'm tired of hearing the media's skewed version, the politicians squabbling over what they read in a report, and the average ill-informed American ranting about things he knows NOTHING about.

I've been over here a couple of months now, and I've learned more about this country than a year's worth of watching CNN. I've sat in mission briefs with Colonels, talked with village elders, had tea with Shieks, played with the kids. And I agree with the President. We need more troops and we need to take greater action.
