The Liberal impulse springs from the need to make some sense of one’s life. From this positive attitude the situation goes down hill. Communism was a response to the arch conservatism of the Czarist system in Russia. Once in power the communists, under Lenin and more so under Stalin, killed more Russian citizens than all the Czars combined. Of course there were more living citizens to kill at that time, but in absolute numbers it is still true.
Why do liberals in particular the ultra left of the MoveOn.Org types so admire totalitarian systems and their leaders? If George Bush attempted to stay on as president after 2008 there would be howls of pain from the liberals and conservatives, why have there been no complaints about Fidel Castro? In fact the US embargo of Cuba is ridiculous because free trade would raise the Cuban economy back to its pre-Castro level and beyond. It would have been relatively easy to topple Castro from within because the prosperity would have made the population restless for more freedom.
Ultra liberals are honest in one sense: they openly admit that if they can get into power they are determined to undermine the position of the United States and implement policies that will degrade the economic performance of the nation. This is the template that is consistently used by people who think they know better than anyone else what is best. Regular liberals are thoroughly dishonest in the sense that they will not take a stand and embrace their contributors and that they will do their bidding if elected. Instead they issue platitudes that sound good but are without substance.
It is reasonable to guess that George Orwell’s 1984 is anathema to the Ultra Liberals because it reveals what they have in store for the citizens of the USA and the rest of the world. In Seattle, Washington there is a statue honoring Josef Stalin, a mass murderer of his own people. Washington State is of course a bastion of liberalism. The governor’s election actually was stolen by the Democrats even as they cried foul about George Bush’s election in 2000.
The Ultra Liberals admire Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Khomeini, and others of their ilk. Many of these tyrants come to power under the guise of democracy but soon reveal their true intentions. Instead describing George Bush as Adolf Hitler it might be useful if they apply this nomenclature to themselves; Hitler was legally elected and soon changed his behavior as he promised in Mein Kampf.
The United States population is too used to liberty to be completely duped and is largely armed to the teeth to resist such a takeover. Is this why the liberals want to disarm the population?

Button Pushing
Syria has played a good hand in the current war against Israel. Their ambassador made the disingenuous comment that Syria is ready to talk anytime but the Bush administration has ignored them for the past six years. This of course is merely a manipulation of the American Left. It is working and working well. It is true that the Bush Administration is the first in recent years to publicly ignore Syria; the other contacts by other Presidents have yielded nothing positive.
Assad, Senior and now Junior, have talked and talked but done nothing to assist the United States in bringing peace to the region. On the contrary, Syria along with Iran has done more to destabilize the situation than any other nation. The rulers of these nations are shrewd, ruthless, and determined to reach the desired outcome: the destruction of Israel no matter what the cost. The American political Left simply can not admit this. So they grasp at straws, and any opportunity to vent their rage and hatred of George Bush.
The Administration clearly got more than they expected with the liberation of Iraq. Paul Wolfowitz must be quite relieved to be at the World Bank and out of the Defense Department. He and Donald Rumsfeld did not think through the consequences of this action and persuaded George to proceed. Now the situation is that Iraq’s WMD are most likely to be in Syria’s possession and will undoubtedly be used if the threat to Assad’s dictatorship becomes serious.
The American Left is simply out of touch. Witness the latest juvenile attitude towards the reality that abounds; Dennis Kucinich has proposed a Cabinet level position to counter the Defense Department. He wants to establish a Department of Peace. Simply changing words can not change the world.

Taxes for Power
Beating a dead horse is never much fun, unless it keeps showing signs of life. Dennis Kucinich, Democrat from Ohio, has proposed a partial nationalization of the United States’ oil industry. Under his bill the US government would confiscate “excess profits.” This of course is a sure way to guarantee that oil prices will go higher as supplies dwindle due to lack of interest on the part of the oil companies.
The emergence of this bill dovetails nicely with the view that liberals can’t be trusted with economies. They will inevitably destroy the good life because their definition of the good life is them telling everyone else how to live. What in the world are excess profits? In a competitive world a company can never make enough money if it wants to survive. Kucinich has stated that the oil companies are running the US, in particular Washington, if true why is he still being heard from? His actions are admirable from one point of view and that is at least he is telling the truth about himself and his views; something most Democrat politicians will never do. They prefer the bait and switch tactics of promise to make changes and then just enjoy the privileges of power.
The human race must prefer monarchies in its heart of hearts. The strong leader be he a king, dictator, prime minister, or president is admired and respected. How else can Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, Osama Bin Laden, be explained? Muslims really do believe all the gibberish about martyrs and the 72 virgins whether liberals like it or not. Not only will they die willingly when instructed to do so by their leaders they look forward to it. This makes them a very difficult enemy to defeat: they win by losing.
The Democrats are hell bent on destroying the US economy simply to blame it on the Republican penchant for spending. The rather simple minded view of many Americans that the government should and can take care of them is the result of 40 years of Democrat rule which ruined the public system of education and reduced the amount of critical thinking that goes on.

Land Purchase Reveals
Cindy Sheehan’s duplicitous purchase of land near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas reveals a character trait of left and ultra-left thinkers: they are inherently dishonest when it comes to achieving their goals. This is true from Cuba to Venezuela, to Brazil, and to Argentina. It will be true in the United States if the MoveOn.org crowd is ever able to obtain power.
The ultra left loves Castro, Chavez and the like and will emulate them if ever they come to power. These countries have no economic life to speak of; yes Venezuela has petro-dollars but not much else. In Argentina the new regime is perverting the courts in much the same way the left has done in the United States for decades. The result is false imprisonment and the welcome mat for Fidel Castro; one of the world’s premier communist dictators. Only Kim Jung IL can be considered worse.
The left in America promise to eradicate poverty, they have doing so since 1933 and redoubled their efforts in 1965 when LBJ launched the war on poverty. Like all other wars on social ills it has been a spectacular failure. Poverty is listed as the number one problem facing children who are “at risk” in the public schools. The real problem is too much administration, disinterested instructors, apathetic parents, and cultural resistance.
All this is courtesy of political correctness; a euphemism for a scheme to prevent criticism on the basis of fairness.
The George Soros’ of the world show their deceitfulness everyday and proudly demonstrate their intellectual dishonesty when they compare anyone who disagrees with them as Nazi’s. They are so caught up in their dreams of power and self-importance that they cannot do anything simply for the good of all. If after 73 years poverty programs continue to enrich the vendors and administrators, leaving out the poor, why should the left is trusted to get anything right?
In the United States the right wing politicians continue to miss opportunities to get the job done. They are cowed by political correctness and the enjoyment of the perks of power. They too are intellectually bankrupt caring only to be re-elected and increase their personal net worth if possible. George Bush is undoubtedly a good person, but for a 59 year old man he is pretty naïve and trusts the judgment of cynics a little too much.
There seems little to expect from these two groups somehow the average American will soldier on despite the Susan Sarandons, the Nancy Pelosis, the Anne Coulters, and the rest of those who would divide and destroy civil society.

The Threat is Real
Al-Zawahiri must be taken seriously. His message today makes clear several things that have been discussed here and are currently being discussed around most of the world. It is imperative that the threats from Al-Qaeda be evaluated at face value. They are threatening attacks worldwide that won’t stop until Israel ceases to exist.
Nothing the do-gooders try will ameliorate this problem. The solution is the complete abandonment of support for Israel; the Europeans took this action many years ago. The United States will never abandon Israel; it cannot. In fact it would be no surprise to learn that the United States is encouraging Israel and is certainly replenishing the military supplies being consumed in this conflict.
It’s very interesting to hear the translation of the video message from Al-Zawahiri the stilted nature of the phrasing and the use of archaic language illustrates exactly what century these people represent. They are about 800 years behind the West culturally. While obvious it also points up the seriousness of the threat and the futility of negotiation. These are people who are willing to die to the last man; the West is practically unfamiliar with this concept.
The fact that no major terror operation has occurred in the US is no reason for complacency. Soon there will be suicide bombings in Shopping Malls, on the crowded streets of major US cities, and other violence. What then? We will have to wait and see but a reasonable prediction is that even the ultra left will join in the battle.

Confusion at the top
John Kerry has said that if he were president the current conflict between Israel and her enemies would not have happened. How can this be? Does Mr. Kerry mean that he is able to control Iran and Syria? On the other hand Howard Dean is accusing Mr. Maliki, the current Iraqi Prime Minister, of anti-Semitism. Which side are the Democrats on? Over the years they have tried to influence Israel to give in to their Arab, and now Muslim enemies. Now, with elections approaching, they are backpedaling.
The Arabs and Iranians are not really anti-Semitic as they are also a Semitic people but they are anti-Israel and that is the problem. The Muslims will never stop attacking Israel this is the salient fact that must be faced; there is no peaceful solution to the problem. Politicians in the United States and the entire non-Muslim world are in denial. Both American political parties are approaching the situation from the wrong angle. Our enemies are determined to wipe us out.
There are no moderate Muslims. It is acceptable according to the Koran to deceive one’s enemies. If there are Muslims who want a peaceful co-existence then they should make an effort to expose those that don’t. They should inform authorities about the activities of terrorists. The non-Muslim world should propose a plan for peace but prepare for war; a bloody disastrous one. It is almost certain that Iran will use nuclear weapons once it has the ability to do so.
The liberals in the US and Europe naively suppose that a religion that is taken very seriously by its believers will ever succumb to what they regard as a weak and decadent society.

British Open
The R&A must be feeling a bit embarrassed today. The tournament was superb, but the crowds were rude and certainly not knowledgeable about golf. To top it off the course was defaced by some people demonstrating either for or against something. In my opinion it should be another 39 years before the Open comes to Hoylake again.
The Royal Liverpool course is wonderful; too bad it is near Liverpool. It seems that Liverpudlians have no sense of decorum. The drama created by the match between Tiger Woods and Chris DiMarco was disgraced by the crowd’s behavior. The spectators can only be called crowd or mob based on what happened. The players had to back away on each shot and start again; it’s amazing that they were able to perform so well.
Perhaps it was the unusually warm weather that irritated the fans; after all it did get up to 80 degrees during the tournament. During the next PGA Championship in Medinah, Indiana, the temperatures will reach 100F but there will be no such outrageous behavior as was witnessed today in England. It has been said that English society has been coarsened; it seems to have been borne out today.
Still, Tiger Woods once again proved his mettle under adverse conditions. His control of his emotions and his golf swing was a sight to behold.

Face The Facts
Following the events of the most recent Arab-Israeli crisis one might imagine that Hezbollah and Hamas are comparable to misunderstood juvenile delinquents and that with love and understanding they will calm down and become productive citizens. CNN International has praised Nasrallah as being a benefactor of the Lebanese people. Their report made no mention of the number of murders he has committed and had committed by his followers.
The entire West is behaving quite naively. Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Syria have only one objective: the wipe out all Christians, Jews, Sufi, and Sunni Muslims. That’s it plain and simple. They are not going away. The religious police are being re-introduced in the Afghan society; many lives have been lost in vain if this is allowed to happen.
The correct course of action for the United States at this point is a complete withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. The US should position its military so that when the slightest terrorist attack takes place overwhelming and obliterating force can be unleashed destroying the enemy at the rate of ten times the damage done to Americans. There will be no occupation, just a scorched earth leaving destitution and misery behind; and no helping hand afterwards.
Then and only then will peace be even remotely possible. The Arab Street, so loved by the media, is uneducated, emotional, and desperate apparently unable to figure out the consequences of their actions. So let them die. That is their view towards those they consider their enemies. Fill heaven with Muslims first, then let nature take its course with the rest of the human race.
Their can be no consoling, persuading, appeasing, or any other dealings other than with devastating force. As that favorite of the left, Mao tse Tung, said “All power comes from the barrel of a gun.”

Terror Again and Again
The United States and its Allies, if there are any, have miscalculated, and underestimated the power of Islam on the emotions of poorly educated and underemployed Muslims. To a certain degree the charges of American arrogance in its foreign policy are true. Across the political spectrum of American life there is a drift towards denial. The conservative and evangelical people feel strongly that Christ will save them. In reality the evangelicals don’t care they just want to get to Heaven; sound familiar?
The atheists, agnostics, Satanists, and lukewarm Christians, Buddhists, and the rest of the ultra left wing think religion is either despicable or a great club to belong to. The religious teachings are certainly not to be taken seriously. As a result these people can not conceive of anyone taking them seriously. This is a big mistake. Western culture has a strong tradition of dissent; Arab culture has no tradition of dissent. That is why you see them jumping up and down in the streets chanting death to those who disagree with them or their leaders. Of course were they to disagree with their leaders beheading might be in order.
My prediction is war and more of it; and probably in the most brutal sense. For those who are strictly religious the promise of Heaven means more than one more dollar in the bank. Of course the leaders of such people don’t really believe the ideas they preach they want power and could care less about Heaven. The Pope wears Prada shoes, of course we don’t know about Mullah Kahmeni but we can guess.
The West will continue to bolster political correctness in the hope that if we cynically love our enemies they will reciprocate. That idea is actually a death sentence.

World War
War for oil: it’s on the way. Despite the accusations by the anti-war, Move-On.Org crowd George Bush naively thought he could save the world. Iran is about three steps away from fomenting a global clash that is anyone’s guess about the consequences. The Arab- Jewish (Israeli) war of extermination has been going on since 1948 its agonizing prelude being the Final Solution attempted by the Nazis.
The joke is on the West. The attempt to rid Europe of its Jews, known as the partition of Palestine and the creation of the Jewish state made the industrial world’s dependence on oil the basis of the coming world war. In the early years no one paid much attention to the potential problem because essentially only the United States had a strong demand for oil and most of that was met through local production. Still the international oils companies searched the Arabian Desert for more reserves. As European prosperity returned their economies placed further strain on oil resources, but oil was mined so cheaply that the impact was minimal.
Gamal Nasser began to change all that. The United Arab League wanted its share of the oil wealth that the West was expropriating from their lands. The oil embargo of the 1970s pushed prices higher and led to contract renegotiation in favor of the host countries; in particular Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. During the years between 1948 and 1967 the Arabs attempted to blot out Israel, with help from Russia, but were remarkably unsuccessful. Of course Iranians are not Arabs but they are Muslims and fanatical ones at that. The world was soon to learn that there is little worse than rich fanatics.
Western Civilization is in great peril but no one seems to believe this or even cares about it. The Conservative view is that this can be coped with by force if necessary, but why worry about the Arabs when some brilliant scientist will most likely solve the problem with another form of energy. There’s not really much hope of that, certainly not in the short term. The Liberal view is that the world will be better off without Western Civilization as it is at the root of all that is wrong in the world. A more conceited, arrogant view of life is difficult to conceive.
Without Israel it is more than likely that the oil rich Middle Eastern nations ( invented by Britain, France, and the US) would have developed along Western lines with Islam still being the basis of their political systems; but probably not Wahabbi Islam. The Soviet Union manipulated their client states and incited their attempts at eliminating Israel as part of the plan to push the US around during the Cold War. The problem became one of weapons, dictators, and totalitarian states with the industrialized west’s money going to the Soviet Union to pay for military hardware and training. It could only be this way because the US supported Israel as for a time did the Europeans. That has changed leaving only the US supporting Israel.
At this moment the Iranians and Syrians, through their clients Hamas and Hezbollah, feel strong enough to start a war that no one will be able to control. Some very hard times are coming; economically, physically, and possibly the use of nuclear weapons. Get ready.

A Conservative Court
I guess the Liberals fear that the Supreme Court was becoming too Conservative can be put to rest. The recent Court decision that terrorists and combatants without uniforms must be accorded the rights guaranteed under the Geneva Convention Treaty. This is patently absurd as the treaty specifically excludes these types of combatants. It is one more sign that the Liberals cannot be trusted with protecting the nation. This is not surprising as they don’t subscribe to the notion of nationhood.
In a back-handed way though the decision is an opportunity, these prisoners can be held until the war’s end and can then be repatriated to their homelands. No need for trials, they can be employed productively, they must be paid whatever money their contract with their “army” was, and they don’t have to be tried; though they can be. This means no more controversy about holding prisoners indefinitely, without a charge. The charge has been made by the US Supreme Court: they are prisoners of war.
The Bush Administration should simply announce that no further prisoner releases are possible as the war is continuing. Everyone can go home when it’s over. It has even been suggested that any captured US soldiers now have a better chance of survival due to this Court action. Their chances have now been upgraded from none to slim.
The MoveOn.Org crowd dominates the Democrat Party and as such has condemned them to absence from power. They will continue in the minority until they get in step with the majority. Most Americans only want to work, raise a family, and enjoy leisure time and to do so safely within normal limits. These limits do not include encouraging terrorists to murder them. Life being fragile needs some reasonable form of protection. This goes way beyond the fat police, the political correctness squads, the seat-belters, and the myriad of other do gooders. The government’s main and real job is to guarantee the life of the nation.

The government’s main and real job is to guarantee the life of the nation.

Here Come the Missiles
I guess the ultra left wing thinkers around the world are celebrating the launch of seven missiles by one of their idols Kim Jung Il II. That great beneficiary of the North Korean people, a communist, and a terrorist is one of the darlings of the left. Why is this? Why do the Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Nancy Pelosi, types so admire this kind of government? Let Castro put journalists in prison for 75 years and there is not a peep from the left. Let George Bush follow-up on the Clinton doctrine of regime change in Iraq and they go crazy.
The Democrats heap praise on Hugo Chavez as he ruins Venezuela and castigate George Bush as he protects them and every other citizen of the USA. The Europeans dilly-dally with Iran while the Iranians mock them. China and India are the world’s worst polluters yet the left constantly and persistently blame the USA for all the world’s problems. What would happen if Greenpeace re-located its headquarters to Shanghai or Mumbai?
Would criticism of the government’s policy of the Peoples Republic of China be accepted with aplomb? It is more than likely that such critics would be imprisoned or banished. India, being a democracy, would be different but not much. Unless the critics were Hindu it is within reason that might be assassinated. Much the same could be expected in Iran if the critics are not Muslim; or even if they are.
Members of the ultra left wing arrogantly assert that they are working to save the world and thus have no reason to be concerned about the United States; the place where they live, prosper, and are protected from harm. The freedoms available in the USA make it a very desirable place to live. These people are very insecure because their fellow citizens discount them for the most part. They must take their concerns to Europe where their ideas have currency only because the Europeans have forgotten who won their freedom for them. Gratitude is nearly always replaced by anger.
Now the world’s nations must unite because unlike the Iranians the North Koreans are led by an insane dictator who really might launch a nuclear attack. Radiation and explosions don’t know which part of the political spectrum is being destroyed.

Happy Birthday America
The United States will celebrate its 230th birthday tomorrow. Despite apparent internal divisions the nation is still strong and prosperous and a benefit to the rest of the world. The founding fathers devised a strong model for a civil society that can change with the times yet maintain its sense of community. Even today with the pressures of illegal immigrants civil discourse is continuing. The democratic tradition of self-expression is operating smoothly. Of course there are those that dispute this and they are primarily self-directed and disappointed that their views are not taken as gospel by the rest of us.
Speaking of the gospels is the United States truly founded on the Christian tradition? The most likely conclusion is yes but with some qualification. Many of the Founders were Deists and while they believed in the existence of a Creator it is not clear that they were Christians in the modern sense. The separation from England was practically forced upon the rebels, members of many Christian sects based on the Judaic tradition. From there we get the Ten Commandments and some legal structure. Most of the legal system is based on English common law and Enlightment thinkers from England and France.
The United States is a shining example of what is possible. The rest of the world is envious of the American achievement. Americans are bewildered by this but they should not be confused. When any person, institution, or nation is more successful than others anger, jealous, even hatred can result. This is because all people are not created equal except in the sense of opportunities that are available. Americans are hard working by culture, willing to take risks, happy to lend a helping hand, even die for some one else’s freedom.
Citizens of the USA are products of many cultures and have embraced the one tradition of the US Constitution. This makes for interesting debate. The culture is slowly changing for the worse. More and more the citizenry thinks the government should rule their lives, the sense of responsibility is waning, and the victim mentality is growing. The childish concern for what other nations might think of the US is gaining ground. The left’s promise of Utopia is becoming more attractive. A warning example should be seen in the fate of New Orleans. The Democrat Party has ruled the city and the state of Louisiana for more than one hundred years. It is crime-ridden and poverty stricken. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is remarkable. Government corruption is legendary.
Why should one suppose that the extension of this style of government will benefit the nation?
Happy Birthday USA! All nations who have been saved from oppression, bolstered economically should join the celebration.

Treason
Treason? I don’t agree with the New York Times’ editorial decision to print the story about counterterrorism techniques, but doing so is not treason. The treasonous act was committed by the government worker who revealed the details of the story. The Times and others have a constitutional right to be stupid, irresponsible, anytime they please. I don’t side with the ultra left or ultra right politically.
All this excitement on the far right is misplaced and might compared with the idiotic statements made by the wacky left with regard to the supreme court decision yesterday that invalidated the government’s ability to imprison terrorists. Nancy Pelosi, a dimwit if ever there was one, made the claim that this decision proves that America is ruled by laws, and that this was a victory for civil rights. No terrorist has civil rights in the USA. Should Ms. Pelosi be considered a traitor? There might well be circumstances that warrant it but as I said being stupid is not a crime.
The various media outlets that print revealing stories about government activity would probably being doing so if the ruling party was the Democrat Party. This is the real tragedy. The public cannot really trust the news media to bring an accurate picture of the world around us. The left wing elite considers themselves to be better than most of the citizens of the USA; more cultured, more intelligent, more perceptive, and for that reason they feel entitled to make decisions for the rest of us.

Is Sexual Deviation Possible
When considering deviation one must first clearly define the norm. In the case of sexual deviation this might be more difficult than it appears. If deviation from anything heterosexual is consideration straying from the norm, then confidence in one’s position must begin to waver. It can be said that there are two kinds of sexual deviation: random and deliberate. The former usually results from a physical difference, for example being hermaphroditic while the latter is a choice based on the desire to be different, or even fashionable.
A hermaphrodite has both male and female characteristics which choice impossible for the long term. This condition makes possible those apocryphal stories of marriage where the male partner did not realize that his female partner was actually a man; of course his was both. Is this condition evolutionary? Probably not since it has been remarked upon from time immemorial. Is it deviant? That is the difficult question society must come to grips with. There are other causes of gender confusion including genetic and hormonal anomalies. These too might fall within what is called normal.
The random aspect of “sexual deviation” involves something of a choice. For some reason in the USA it is very fashionable for women to be “bisexual” expressing and acting out their attraction to men and women; particularly women in public. The sheer number of these cases makes it impossible to consider them genuine. The most recent high profile case was the relationship of Ellen Degeneris and Anne Heche in which case Ms. Heche decided that she was not a lesbian after all. Was that sexual deviation, experimentation, or something else?
At most, if not all, high schools, colleges, and universities this trend is rampant. Does this signal a rapid degeneration of American society or simply an immature response to growing older? The attitudes of those in the trans-gender movement suggest immaturity and the unwillingness to confront life head on or accept responsibility. In all groups there are those who lead and those who follow. In the case of trans-gender most of the followers are being manipulated and get in line to have a place to go. This is also the case in many fringe groups who provide no benefit to society at large.
Sexual deviation does not include predation. These individuals are merely violent criminals who are now able to more safely abduct, assault, and murder their victims. This is possible because of the culture of “victim-hood,” which absolves anyone including monsters from the responsibility of their actions. It cannot be said with complete confidence that sexual deviation actually exists, but it may be said that the behavior of those who choice is deliberate is destructive.

Ethnic slurs
Ethnic slurs can only work on a population that kind of believes they are true. What this means is that those being stereotyped and insulted are insecure about their position in society and have inkling that such an insult may well include them. For this reason ethnic or racial slurs do not have the same effect, or really any effect, on the majority (white) citizens of the USA. The terms “cracker”, “honkie”, “anglo”, “gringo”, “charley”, or “whitey” do not have them same painful effect as “wetback”, “nigger”, “spic”. These words are powerful to those they are used against conjuring up memories most of those effected don’t have.
The fears and insecurities about being accepted as simply another person are deep seated and difficult to overcome. By the same token those who hurl these imprecations are revealing their own fears. Prejudices are often obtained unconsciously by simple participation in society. They are poorly understood and confusing to those who possess them and almost impossible to fully overcome. A racial epithet used in earnest is a horrible thing most often done in painful jest. In some ways they are archaic while being contemporary, they are flung to remind those who are the object of their lesser place in the social group.
Even when used humorously they are dangerous in the sense that they , at the least, exacerbate social division and at worst they widen the divide. Intended to sting and push the person or group back however slightly from gaining on the user. When a person of color, (what a goofy term) tries the same thing it falls flat because they don’t actually threaten the majority. Certainly within the white group there are imprecations that are subtly used “Polacks”, “Canucks”, “Kikes”, “Wops”, “Dagos”, all have the same intent; to separate within the group a create a pecking order. Assimilation defeats all this.
It is therefore urgent that, in any country, immigrants be assimilated and indoctrinated in the language and traditions of their new home country. Without this the majority will be creating a mass of discontented and disappointed citizens.

Life In The CrazyHouse
It’s a funny old world. The Democrats and their ultra liberal allies hope for national disaster because they think it will help them regain power. The far left is ecstatic that two US soldiers were tortured to death and beheaded. These bloggers feel that all Americans that don’t agree with them should meet the same fate. It is heartbreaking to contemplate that because most of these left wing nutjobs are young and poorly educated that they have no sense of history and no sense of the biological good fortune they enjoy. Had they been born in Nigeria, Zambia, Iraq, Iran, or Palestine they would not be enjoying the privileges and pleasures of life as they do.
They forget or won’t acknowledge the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of young Americans that were made to prevent tyranny in Europe and to preserve the freedoms of the United States of America. The phony Euro intellectuals naturally despise the United States because they won’t defend themselves and hate the fact that in reality they are dependent on the USA. Gratitude, or the need for it, prompts hatred towards the benefactor in most cases. Most people have an innate longing to be self-sufficient and when they are not then their confidence suffers long and gradual erosion.
The fact that any American can rejoice at the death of a fellow citizen gives the lie to their agendas. During the Vietnam War it was common to find dead US soldiers with their bodies mutilated, yet the NVA and VC remained the darlings of the American Left. These people must be tolerated but they are not to be trusted. It is ironic that a Democrat fiefdom, New Orleans, Louisiana, is cesspool of poverty, crime, and public corruption instead of the Utopia promised us by the Democrats.
Victory cannot be claimed in Iraq, according to the Democrats, until there is zero violence, yet just in the month of June alone there have more than 30 murders. When can we claim victory in New Orleans?

What does it mean
Illegal immigrants and illegal immigration in general have a largely negative impact on life in the United States. The benefits gained from cheap labor must be weighed against the higher crime rates, burden on social services, dilution of our culture (of liberal intellectuals don’t believe that anything can make it worse), and a general erosion of democratic values.
The crime rate in North Carolina has risen at an amazing pace. North Carolina is the third largest recipient of immigrants, legal and illegal, violent crimes have increased the most. It is quite normal to read or hear of Hispanic surnames in conjunction with these crimes. While it seems that most are related to drug transactions and trafficking many are domestic quarrels, alcohol induced rage, and other acts related to those behaviors developed in a corrupt country like Mexico.
There is also the new racial tension to consider. Hispanics and African-Americans are enemies. They are competing for scarce social resources and for low paying low skilled jobs. It is astounding how in so few years the complexion of certain jobs has changed. It is extremely rare to see white or African-American house painters; approximately 85% of house painters are Mexican. This is the case in landscaping, janitorial, and even beginning to be seen in municipal jobs. The latter has been the nearly exclusive province of African-Americans as “affirmative action” has taken hold at all levels of government.
The racial epithets tossed around are of course disgraceful, but more than that they are unexpected and disconcerting; especially to whites who have been conditioned to abstain from such use of language. The terms nigger, spic, and worse are now bandied about without thought and apparent malicious intent. Nearly 90% of illegals are Mexican. The same number of other Hispanic immigrants can be traced in the rolls of legal immigrants. This is another source of tension. This multifaceted societal stress is exacerbated by politicians who pander, religions with false compassion, exploitative employers, and governments that refuse to enforce their own laws.
The United States of America is a wonderful place to live. It is one of the few places on earth where one can actually develop one’s full potential; or not. As its detractors love to point out it is not perfect. Throughout my travels around the world I met many people wanting to come here to live and raise families. This should be encouraged. Recognition of America’s greatness and promise must also be made clear. Language should be forced on the immigrants; no more dual language signs, instructions, etc., should be allowed. Assimilation is the one cure for the disaster that is now in the making.

More Thoughts On Conspiracy
Why were the accusations about President Bush’s National Guard Service accepted as true yet the Zarqawi memos and letters disdained immediately by the left? I’ve been giving this a little more thought and have concluded that, like children waiting for Santa Claus, the ultra-libs are simply too immature to understand grown up life. Even if they are 50, 60, or like my parents 80, they either maintain or revert to a naiveté that is wonderful.
A woman must have the right to an abortion, but no murderers can be killed by a legal death sentence. So called reproductive rights is merely another term for irresponsibility. Personally I don’t think we should execute convicted criminals; it coarsens society and is too easy on the murderers. There is also the possibility of innocence being punished instead of the guilty. A random act of sexual intercourse should also not condemn a life to death.
Conspiracy fetish believers are just that, low intellectual powers, easily led, obsessed and stimulated by fancies that make them feel somehow important because they are in possession of the “real” story. The Zarqawi memos should be assumed to be genuine if only because of the circumstances of his death. Clearly when a leader’s own people turn on him things can’t be going too well. The mainstream Democrats are another story. They don’t care if the memos are real or not; their very existence threatens the Democrats chance to regain power in the congress and the White House. These people care nothing for their fellow citizens and are as close to communists as you can get. When they do return to power, as they will eventually, Hugo Chavez will most likely be the first State visitor.
The proof that the liberals are really illiberal may be inferred by their love of Castro, Chavez, and Fox. Each of these leaders imprisons, without trial, any dissenters. This, of course, is what Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barbara Streisand, and the rest would like to do to those who disagree with them.
