Road Sassy

I’m still in a tinkering frame of mind. I have become a sucker for plug-ins and the latest addition is something called DISQUS which promises to make commenting an entirely new experience. Or improved. Better. Or something….
Well, I think it just ate all of my comments. Premature to declare a disaster yet, there is an import function that has yet to be begin so we shall see. I’m hoping whatever damage I’ve done is reversible. It usually is. Well, it is on blogs.

The damage an Obama presidency will inflict on America , however, will not be so easy to mop up after.It just came to my attention that Obama has dissed our ICE agents, those men and women tasked with apprehending and exporting illegals. Here is the exact verbiage.

When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn’t working, and we need to change it.(Source)

At least Obama is consistent in skewing the meaning of words so far out of range from their given definition that you’d think that someone completely rewrote Webster’s dictionary while most of us were asleep. Just like babies are a “punishment”, in Obama’s mind, ridding America of criminals - which is what illegals are - can best be described as terrorizing.

And quite frankly, screw a bunch of “nursing mothers” and distraught children. That’s the price you pay when you break the law - you put your entire family at risk. Unless of course we are going to extend the same hand wringing sympathy to the wives and girlfriends of busted drug dealers and gang bangers. Perhaps we need to return the homes and savings confiscated in those drug operations so that these poor “terrorized” families can live their lives in peace again.

Federal agents,as would be expected, are none to pleased

“On behalf of the 26,000 members of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA), I take great exception to your disparaging remark, ‘…communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids.’

“While the dedicated men and women of ICE endeavor to carry out their dangerous and noble missions, you somehow felt compelled to characterize their efforts as something akin to terrorizing…

“It’s one thing to remark intelligently on the need for immigration reform, but it’s quite another to berate ICE law enforcement officers who are risking their lives to enforce the laws passed by Congress.” (Source)

Might I suggest to the great Obama that Americans, (real Americans as opposed to the Ameri-phobes that comprise the Obama base ) - might actually consider that it is illegal Mexicans who are terrorizing Americans on a regular basis.
Here are but a few examples for the great Obama to ponder.

Mexicans Terrorize America

“I cannot go out at night. There is no law.” That is a quote from a resident of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. That`s a city right on our border. For all intents and purposes, it is run by drug cartels.
[...]
To put this into perspective on just how many people are being killed in Nuevo Laredo, consider that the murder capital of the United States last year was New Orleans, where about 65 people were killed for every 100,000 residents. In Nuevo Laredo the rate was 88. And many of these murders were carried out in unspeakably gruesome ways.

Last year, in a photo I have, I saw just before we went on the air, and I can`t show it to you yet, until it gets past standards and practices, but it`s a photo you need to see. Five local drug dealers were decapitated, and their heads were rolled onto a floor of a popular dance club just to send a message.

Those who have tried to stop the violence, from the police chief to federal officers, have been brutally executed, leaving very few people alive who are willing to speak out.

The Intelligence Bulletin we obtained says the Zetas are responsible for hundreds of violent drug-related murders. It says they’ve executed journalists, murdered people in Dallas, McAllen and Laredo, Texas. They even detained two DEA agents and recently they’ve shot at Border Patrol agents. At the Arizona border with Mexico agents are already seeing a major increase in violence.

Jose Garza says, “Last year we had documented only nine shootings against our agents. This year we’re up to about 18 shootings already.” (Source)

It seems that when woman employ the “guides” that take you across the Mexican -U.S. border (called “Coyotes”), one thing these women must endure is the routine practice of being raped and as a visual reminder to all that come after –her bloodstains are left in the dirt and her panties are hung from the branches of a tree.

Mexican Rape Tree

“This is the picture that pro-immigration advocates don’t want you to see….

It is time the American people put a stop to the travesty of our open borders. It is time to understand that “open borders” means they are open to every kind of evil, including gang rape and human trafficking.

For any decent, law-abiding American, to see a rape tree is to gaze upon the face of the enemy of civilization. To see the blood-stained ground beneath them is to behold the faces of their victims. Never forget that. When the proponents of illegal immigration and the liberal news media decry the Minutemen as “racists” and “vigilantes” ask them, “What about the rape trees?” Who besides the Minutemen are doing anything about the rape trees? And now that you know, if you do nothing, what does that say about you?” (source)

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released a U.S. Border Patrol report titled, “Mexican Government Incidents – 2006 Fiscal Year Report,” obtained under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). But for Judicial Watch’s September, 2007 FOIA request, this information would not have been made public. The report describes 29 confirmed incidents in 2006 along the U.S.- Mexican border involving Mexican military and/or law enforcement personnel, 17 of which involved armed Mexican government agents. Among the incidents cited…

U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.

Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers.

“Unfortunately, this sort of behavior by Mexican military personnel has been going on for years,” union Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) said on its Web page. “They are never held accountable, and the United States government will undoubtedly brush this off as another case of ‘Oh well, they didn’t know they were in the United States.’(Source)

ICE Arrests 80 Transnational Gang Members in Massachusetts | NumbersUSA

ICE in partnership with state and local law enforcement across Massachusetts has arrested 55 permanent residents and 25 illegal aliens involved in gang activity in the state. The four-day operation was part of ICE’s Operation Community Shield initiative, which targets violent transnational street gangs. ICE plans to deport the illegal aliens and will attempt to remove the permanent residents based on their criminal histories.

An ICE press release indicated the arrestees represent 24 different transnational gangs, including Tiny Rascals, Bloods, Crips, 18th Street, MS-13 and the Deuce Boys. All had criminal records that included convictions for Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, Assault and Battery Dangerous Weapon, Assault and Battery, Domestic, Larceny, Malicious Destruction of Property, Breaking and Entering. The gang members came from Barbados, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Columbia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Portugal, Trinidad and Vietnam.

One thing that drives me nuts is not having the time to focus on all of the threats coming at this country.
One area of concern I have been neglecting is illegal immigration. With both McCain and Obama more than willing to hold America down on the ground to be gang raped by the world, I wonder what the point is anymore.
Be that as it may, here are a few items that will serve to remind us all how undermined we are by American traitors and the enemies within. Especially academia.
Some may be aware that Islam has made inroads as a legitmate subject matter in our public schools. As frightening and as enraging as that is, they are not the only enemy within using our useless socialist public indoctrination school system to breed hatred and contempt for America. Those “harmless” Mexicans have managed to get their curriculum up and running in the schools down in Arizona.

Here is one teacher’s story, a teacher of Mexican descent who was derided as a vendido, or “sell out”, for objecting to the hate-America curriculum offered in Tucson Unified School District. Apparently every minority considers their saner members traitors if they defend America.

As a former teacher in Tucson Unified School District’s hotly debated ethnic studies department, I submit my perspective for the public’s consideration.

During the 2002-2003 school year, I taught a U.S. history course with a Mexican-American perspective. The course was part of the Raza/Chicano studies department.

Within one week of the course beginning, I was told that I was a “teacher of record,” meaning that I was expected only to assign grades. The Raza studies department staff would teach the class.

I was assigned to be a “teacher of record” because some members of the Raza studies staff lacked teaching certificates. It was a convenient way of circumventing the rules.

I stated that I expected to do more than assign grades. I expected to be involved in teaching the class. The department was less than enthusiastic but agreed.

Immediately it was clear that the class was not a U.S. history course, which the state of Arizona requires for graduation. The class was similar to a sociology course one expects to see at a university.

Where history was missing from the course, it was filled by controversial and biased curriculum.

The basic theme of the curriculum was that Mexican-Americans were and continue to be victims of a racist American society driven by the interests of middle and upper-class whites.

In this narrative, whites are able to maintain their influence only if minorities are held down. Thus, social, political and economic events in America must be understood through this lens.

This biased and sole paradigm justified teaching that our community police officers are an extension of the white power structure and that they are the strongmen used “to keep minorities in their ghettos.”

It justified telling the class that there are fewer Mexican-Americans in Tucson Magnet High School’s advanced placement courses because their “white teachers” do not believe they are capable and do not want them to get ahead.

It justified teaching that the Southwestern United States was taken from Mexicans because of the insatiable greed of the Yankee who acquired his values from the corrupted ethos of Western civilization.

It was taught that the Southwest is “Atzlan,” the ancient homeland of the Aztecs, and still rightfully belongs to their descendants - to all people of indigenous Mexican heritage.

As an educator, I refused to be complicit in a curriculum that engendered racial hostility, irresponsibly demeaned America’s civil institutions, undermined our public servants, discounted any virtues in Western civilization and taught disdain for American sovereignty.

When I raised these concerns, I was told that I was a “racist,” despite being Hispanic. Acknowledging my heritage, the Raza studies staff also informed me that I was a vendido, the Spanish term for “sellout.”

The culmination of my challenge to the department’s curriculum was my removal from that particular class. The Raza studies department and its district-level allies pressured the Tucson High administration to silence my concerns through reassignment to another class during that one period.

The Raza studies department used the “racist” card, which is probably the most worn-out and desperate maneuver used to silence competing perspectives. (Source)

Perhaps you, like me, have wondered how the hell it has evolved that this type of material ends up in our public school system. Well, it’s been going on for years, propagasted by the likes of Soros, the Ford Foundation, Rocekfeller and others.
WeHateGringos.com have collected some articles that paint the picture. An excerpt here:

….the dozens of scholars from campuses all over the country who met here late last month did not look like revolutionaries. But behind closed doors of the meeting rooms, the conference of “Cultural Diversity Enhancement” had the tone of one of those “by any means necessary” conventions staged by SDS in the late 60s. The subject was how to turn American higher education inside out. It was sponsored by the Ford Foundation, whose strategy for a radical transformation of the university one critic has called “the academic equivalent of an ‘ethnic cleansing.’”

In an afternoon session entitled “Restructuring the University,” spokespersons summarized the thinking of the workshops that had taken place earlier that morning. Robert Steele, a Professor of Psychology at Wesleyan, noted that his group was aware that coercion would be required to change the university: “People will not be quietly assimilated to multiculturalism by truth through dialogue.” They will have to be bought off as well as brought along. Steele described the terms of the deal: “You get research assistants, you give mentoring.” In other words, using the largesse of Ford and other philanthropic institutions, advocates of multiculturalism convince the hesitant to join up by paying for research assistants. These assistants — mentors of multiculturalism — must be women or people of color. “We will have changed the university when women and people of color can see themselves running the place,” Steele concluded.

This is only one instance, and one minority. Be it blacks, illegals, gays or muslims, the road that they travel in their mission to rip America apart has been paved by the elites.

And you and me, well, we can be damned.

I have been somewhat successful in blocking John McCain out of my mind. The only way that I have been able to imagine voting for him, is not to imagine him at all. And of course, the more I discovered about the horror that is Barack Obama, the more I could justify voting for McCain.

But the negatives just keep on coming;  his dances with Soros, his  questionable staff, his spineless politically correct pandering, his empty rhetoric on illegals. That is quite a bit of material to suppress, to ignore, to pretend isn’t there.

But McCain’s latest drama queen histrionics over the North Carolina’s GOP’s refusal to pander to his megalomaniacal posturing is about the tipping point. How can one reasonably expect McCain to work with actual conservatives when it is obvious that he holds them in no higher regard than does Obama. It seems clear that the North Carolinians are exactly the stripe of conservative whom McCain has every intention of marginalizing, now and later.

The deal breaker to me, however, is the sovereignty of this country. And John McCain doesn’t even have it on his dance card.

And now, he is no longer on mine.

In his March 26 speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council**, McCain never mentioned the need to preserve American sovereignty. He could have reassured conservatives by stating his forthright opposition to Senate ratification of the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, which provides for international control over billions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals and undermines American claims to North Pole riches. But he chose not to.

[...]

Noting that McCain committed himself to adoption of a new U.N.-sponsored global warming treaty, which would be even more comprehensive and tougher than the Kyoto Protocol, Limbaugh said that, “The theme here is that there’s nothing special about America, and that we’re not going to be able to do anything without involving other nations and making them like us and showing them that we intend them no harm and that we want to be good stewards of the planet just as they want to be good stewards.”

The latter was a reference to McCain declaring that, “We need to be good stewards of our planet and join with other nations to help preserve our common home. The risks of global warming have no borders.” McCain sounded like another Democrat - Al Gore.

But despite his preference for what appears to be some kind of New World Order, McCain’s prior endorsement of a new Muslim state in Europe by the name of Kosovo could undermine all of his best-laid plans. Recognition of Kosovo could lead to war with Russia and more terrorist problems for Israel.

[...]

Does McCain’s vision look like an emerging world government? It is certainly a variation of “global governance,” which is the proposal that former Clinton State Department official Strobe Talbott makes in his book, The Great Experiment. Talbott calls McCain a “pragmatist” in foreign affairs, just like Obama and Hillary, and says that he expects his liberal Brookings Institution to have influence over a McCain presidency.

[...]

McCain seemed blind not only to the issues that conservatives regard as critical in an election year, but he went out of his way to reach out to liberals and Democrats. The only part of the speech they probably didn’t like was on Iraq.

[...]

The tragedy of this approach is that it comes from a man who served his country in uniform and risked his life on behalf of the U.S. McCain would have been a natural choice to lead a campaign for restoration of American sovereignty in foreign affairs. He could have been “The American President Americans have been waiting for.”

For reasons that remain largely a mystery, he has chosen to take the U.S. down the road of “global governance,” in which the U.N. and other international agencies, institutions and alliances determine our fate as a nation. It is the same road the Democrats are on. It is a tragedy for our country.

I often wonder how much healthier our economy would be if the bleeding hearts and the earth worshippers hadn’t been busy gutting America with their damn welfare programs as well as all of the barriers that they have erected that impede developing our oil, coal, and nuclear resources.

I don’t have the numbers that would demonstrate how much cheaper energy would be if the fools hadn’t been  permitted to strangle us with environmental regulations and development bans, but a commenter at LGF offers a brief synopsis that clearly demonstrates that illegal aliens cost the US far more treasure than the war in Iraq.

Not as if that would faze the nattering, chattering Kumbyah brigades. “Progressives” like Obama and Hillary would love nothing more than to see America transformed into one of the third world countries that they so admire. Unfortunately, R.I.N.O. McCain’s heart bleeds on this issue along with his buddies on the left.

Between socialists Obama and Hillary breathing down our necks, and Bush and Condi continuing to empower our enemies while flushing American treasure down the sewer to our south - our grand children’s future is looking brighter and brighter……

At the prodding of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Washington is working to “create educational and economic opportunities” for Palestinians…Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pushed for the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership…following the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace conference at Annapolis, Maryland.

[...]

“It brings together the private sector, civic leaders, the United States government and the Palestinian Authority to create educational and economic opportunities for Palestinian youth, furthering progress toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians…”

(source)

Gee, seems to me that this might conflict with the typical Palestinian “youth’s” favored pursuits. It’s rather difficult to provide “economic opportunities” for people whose highest ambition is murdering Jews.

The mother of Muhammad Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday’s attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son’s plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him “good luck.”

Dozens of Palestinians, chanting slogans against Israel and the US, converged on the family’s home to “congratulate” them on the success of the attack.

(source)

And Lord knows we need to be equitable when handing out the knives which will eventually cut America’s throat. While Condi is busy abetting the enemy in the Middle-east, Bush is selling us out south of the border.

Fence? What fence, you freaking bigot!

The plan is called “The Merida Initiative.” Seems that the White House has had this plan in the works for nearly a year with little congressional input on either side of the border.

We can’t finish our own border fence, properly supply our immigration agents and border patrol with all the equipment and resources they need, or get our house in order. Yet, the Bush administration wants to fork over $1.4 billion to Mexico and Central America–with much of it going into the hands of corrupt law enforcement officials and government bureaucrats who have worked tirelessly to undermine our immigration laws. The funding is tucked into the 2008 supplemental budget.

(source)

Oddly enough, Mexico seems to be doing a bit better these days, the peso is up and newly elected President Calderon is feeling optimistic enough to throw 25 billion into infrastructure.

Gee, infrastructure…weren’t Americans a tad concerned about infrastructure -bridges, dams - that sort of thing? But that’s right, Americans don’t count for much in Bush’s world. Imagine how little we will count for post election.

Oh by the way, Calderon will be visiting “Mexican communities in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and New York in an effort to chart a more independent course for Mexico’s economy.”

Really? I take it that they are not US citizens? Perhaps, one of you world savvy readers can explain to this rube why it is necessary to seek counsel from “mexican” enclaves in America? Perhaps he wants discuss with them how to direct this coming windfall back to Mexico.

Oh well, it’s only money, and hell, by the time our grand kids are old enough to work, there won’t be anything but government jobs left. Maybe by then the Ministers of Mental Health will be issuing soma, and, along with our borders, all memories of a free and prosperous America will have been erased.

I know that the Joe Horn controversy has slipped under the media radar, but what Joe Horn represents is an issue that will not go away as long as there are liberals after our guns and race hucksters who are looking for fresh victim meat to exploit.

But the video below is my focus. It’s rather long, but, it is so damn refreshing to see and hear real Americans adamantly defending a man who acted in defense of his neighbor’s property. And yes indeed, defense of property trumps the lives of those who choose to trespass. When the usual race hucksters made an appearance on Joe Horn’s street to turn a simple case of self-defense into a race based farce, the folks showed up. Enjoy…

Now Joe Horn is the recipient of the usual death threats. Please also note that the recipients of Mr. Horn’s bullets were illegals from Columbia, one culprit already having been deported once for narcotics violations.

An anonymous death threat was made against the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and police said it was connected to a case of a homeowner accused of killing two burglary suspects at his neighbor’s house, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.

Officials said the caller threatened to kill Joe Horn, the homeowner, if the district attorney does not charge him with a crime.

Letters to the editors. At one time a letter to the editor was one of the few ways an average citizen could hope to voice their opinion. Of course now the same citizen can start a blog. But newspapers do remain, circulation somehow keeps them afloat, and now, all of us can read what one woman in Maryland, in a letter to the editor, thinks of sanctuary cities.

Yes indeed, millions might read it, but my guess is that those she wants to read it have stopped caring what their constituents think a long time ago. In city after city, state after state, citizens are ignored and quite frankly, I’m thinking everyone is getting a tad ticked off, to put it mildly.

It is time now to address our issues of being a ‘‘sanctuary city.” Who decides this? I don’t recall seeing a referendum on a ballot or anything else. It makes my blood boil every time I see Lou Dobbs (CNN) put the map up regarding cities that give sanctuary and licenses to illegal immigrants. Now the nonprofit organizations are moving out of the district into Maryland (we have more tax dollars here) to provide more services to, you guessed it, illegal immigrants.

Wake up [Prince George’s] and Montgomery County, we are in for the ride and fight of our lives. Our legislators are not listening or reading the paper so perhaps they can see it at the polls. Gov. [Eliot] Spitzer has withdrawn giving licenses to illegals in New York; we need to do the same in Maryland. Gov. [Martin] O’Malley, are you paying attention?

Maryland residents are seeking sanctuary in not only Maryland, but in America. Is there someplace we can go to get the same protection that is being poured on illegal immigrants who broke our laws just by coming here?

I want a vote on the ballot for this in 2008. I want to be able to vote no to being a sanctuary city, no to giving licenses to illegal immigrants and no to illegal immigration!
