I said from the onset that this was a witch hunt that already knew who said witches were.  That piece of crap who was the former prosecuting attorney should do some hard time over this, but he won’t!

Mexican Prez Slams US Border Wall  At a meeting with a bilateral entrepreneurial organization Tuesday, Mexican President Felipe Calderon criticized the 745-mile, 1.3 billion dollar border wall the US is building to prevent illegal immigration from Mexico.

Memo to President Calderon: legal immigration is one thing: illegal immigration is just that – illegal.

Had it something approximating a spine, the US congress should be passing laws to make the cost of repatriation of illegal immigrants so costly to your government that finally, you will begin to fix the infrastructure problems in your ecomomy so that people will be able to work, thrive, and prosper in Mexico.

The US border has been a ‘safety valve’ for Mexico’s social and financial problems for far too long.

ABC News is having a Goregasm…

February 28th, 2007 . by Basti

ABC News is having a Goregasm…

and is doing so for all to see. Isn’t this a violation of public indecency laws?

Anyway, ABC News has published an opinion piece today from some blogger I never heard of polishing the knob of a man I wish I had never heard of. (Damnable prepositions..I will not rewrite my sentence. You don’t own me!)

Check out these laugh a minute excerpts from Ostroy’s article:

Make no mistake: Former Vice President Al Gore will be our next president.

Make no mistake…this should clue you in as to how deluded this editorialist is.

I am as confident about that assertion as I am that George W. Bush will go down in history as America’s worst president ever.

Really? Worst. President. EVAH? Finally, Andrew Johnson can catch a break. And is that the sound of a sigh I hear eminating from Plains, Georgia?

Make no mistake…I think this guy’s attention span and sense of historical perspective is probably limited to whatever was on before the last commercial break on “Oxygen”. Or “E”. Whatever is gayer.

At Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, Gore took home the coveted prize for best feature documentary for “An Inconvenient Truth,” his scorching red-flag raiser on global warming.

Quick, America! Name 3 people (and I’ll spot you Gore and Michael Moore) who have ever won the “best feature documentary”.

Make no mistake…you probably can’t.

Hardly a barometer for guaging public popularity, I would say.

On stage he was graceful, poised and presidential. And it didn’t hurt his hipness quotient any to be getting a little Leo DiCaprio love either. That’s right, Al Gore is suddenly cool.

Umm…on stage he was also very, very, large. Ginormous, even. Are the Taft bathtubs still in the White House?

And since when is being associated with Leo DiCaprio cool?

Make no mistake…when people’s fondest recollection of your biggest movie role is seeing you drown in a field of icebergs and ship debris, your “hip” factor is probably pretty low.

Except to 12 year old girls, I suppose. Or Andy Ostroy.

It gets even better.

Umm..not really.

In October, Gore will also likely be the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for being the planet’s biggest advocate in the fight against climate change. His prestigious nomination in this exclusive club puts him in the company of such independent thinkers, statesmen and activists as Dr. Martin Luther King, President Jimmy Carter, Elie Wiesel and Mother Theresa.

And Yasser Arafat. You wouldn’t want to leave out the mass murdering, anti-Israel, terrorist leader. Might diminish your award a little.

Oh wait…you did include mass-murdering, anti-Israel, terrorist leader, apologiser Jimmuh Carter. So, I guess it was diminished by your list.

My bad.

Now let’s talk chops. Gore’s an enlisted Vietnam vet…

Make no mistake…Al Gore served his country bravely as a Stars and Stripes reporter who was assigned personal bodyguards by his Senator father. Just like all those other GI’s.

Hell…even John Kerry didn’t have personal bodyguards on his three month tour of duty in the ‘Nam. So, thanks for being the only veteran alive who makes Kerry look positively butch, Al!

…who served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, two terms in the Senate, and eight years as vice president in one of the most successful administrations ever…

Most successful administrations EVAH?

Make no mistake…besides raising a lot of money in Buddhist Temples, what exactly was Al Gore’s biggest accomplishment in the Clinton Administration? Was it not getting impeached, or not getting indicted?

…Let’s not forget that he won the popular vote in 2000, and as many say, the Electoral College as well.

Ahhh..Florida 2000 much?

Make no mistake…many say Ostroy writes like a BDS-addled douchenozzle. I guess that means it’s a valid criticism.

So wait, he’s hip, he’s brilliant, he’s highly experienced.

You do realize this column is about Al Gore, don’t you?

Must be that whole attention span issue I noticed earlier.

I even have the perfect campaign slogan for Gore: “Imagine how it would’ve been.”

Heh…John Lennon as political campaign spinmeister. Is there anything he couldn’t do? Besides duck.

I think I’m going to take a page from Ostroy’s book and imagine I didn’t read his ridiculous article.

After all…this kind of ankles-grabbing punditry is much more suitable for, I dunno, Wonkette’s site, I think.

Then again, I think she does get more hits than ABC News, so that may explain why they ran this abomination.

NEW CALIFORNIA DRIVER’S LICENSE

NEW CALIFORNIA DRIVER’S LICENSE
2,000 years ago, Moses said, “Pick up your shovel, pack your ass, mount your camel and I shall lead you to the Promised Land.”

200-plus years ago, George Washington said, “Get off your ass, use your shovel, clear the land, grow plants for camels and it will be the Promised Land.”

Last year, the Congress of the United States said “Si, Amigos, throw away your shovel, sit on your ass, light your Camels, we’re giving you the Promised Land.”

Greenhouse sceptics to congregate

Greenhouse sceptics to congregate

HARD-CORE global warming sceptics will descend on Canberra today for the release of a book claiming environmentalism is the new religion.

Former mining executive Arvi Parbo will launch Ray Evans’ new publication, Nine Facts About Climate Change, at a function at Parliament House.

The book claims climate change is nothing new and declares Howard Government investments in solar power and in cleaning up coal a “complete waste of taxpayers’ money”.

“Environmentalism has largely superseded Christianity as the religion of the upper classes in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United States,” Mr Evans says in the publication.

“It is a form of religious belief which fosters a sense of moral superiority in the believer, but which places no importance on telling the truth,” he says.

Democrats get set to reward lawbreakers

Democrats get set to reward lawbreakers

What is the value of citizenship, when a country decides to reward assaults against it?
There’s a pro-illegal move afoot in Maryland that is infuriating, but not at all surprising. The Democrats control the state, and they’re worse than the Republicans on immigration issues. Governor Martin O’Malley is apparently set to grant illegal aliens in-state tuition prices at state universities.

As states nationwide are embroiled in battles over immigrants’ rights, Maryland lawmakers are again wrestling with the contentious issue — and showing signs of easing some restrictions.
The most recent flash point: a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at Maryland colleges. Immigrant advocates think the bill has the best chance of passing in years. In 2003, the legislature approved the measure, but Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. vetoed it; this year, Gov. Martin O’Malley has pledged support.

The people of Maryland did not put Martin O’Malley into the governor’s mansion so he could grant benefits to illegals that US citizens living in nearby Virginia or Pennsylvania or even faraway Oklahoma don’t qualify for. It’s a travesty to reward people who have serially broken the law, but that’s what Democrats and open-borders Republicans do nowadays routinely. All in the name of pandering for votes, or keeping labor costs artificially low.

Al-Jazeera Cameraman Still at Guantanamo

Al-Jazeera Cameraman Still at Guantanamo

Friday February 23, 2007 6:01 PM

AP Photo NYET734

By BEN FOX and ALFRED de MONTESQUIOU

Associated Press Writers

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) – A TV cameraman is getting an inside view of life at Guantanamo Bay prison – only he is unable to get out and tell the story.

Sami al-Hajj, of the Al-Jazeera TV network, was stopped at the Afghanistan border by Pakistani authorities in December 2001, turned over to U.S. forces and hauled in chains six months later to Guantanamo, where about 390 men are held on suspicion of links to al-Qaida or the Taliban.

Al-Hajj, a 38-year-old native of Sudan, has been held in this U.S. military prison ever since.

He is believed to be the only journalist from a major international news organization held at Guantanamo.

Colleagues from al-Hajj’s Qatar-based network and the Sudanese government want to know why he is being held, but the U.S. government is saying little. The military did not even publicly acknowledge holding al-Hajj until last April, when it released a list of Guantanamo detainees in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Associated Press.

But military documents sketch at least a partial outline of al-Hajj’s experiences at Guantanamo and the U.S. grounds for holding him – that he transported money between 1996 and 2000 for a defunct charity that allegedly provided money to militant groups, and that he met a “senior al-Qaida lieutenant.”

When he appeared before a military review panel at this remote U.S. military base in August 2005, al-Hajj, citing the advice of his attorney, declined to respond to questions. But he denied any connection to terrorism.

“With all due respect, a mistake has been made because I have never been a member of any terrorist group,” he said, according to a transcript released the following year.  “I can say without hesitation that I am not a threat to the United States.”

During the hearing, aimed at determining whether al-Hajj posed a threat to the United States or possessed intelligence value, al-Hajj wore a white jumpsuit reserved for the “most compliant” detainees. An officer told the tribunal that al-Hajj was leading Islamic prayer sessions and teaching other prisoners English.

His colleagues at Al-Jazeera claim his detention is American harassment of an Arabic TV network whose coverage has long angered U.S. officials. Near the entrance to the network’s Khartoum bureau a banner saying “Free Sami al-Hajj” hangs alongside his photo.

(Green highlights are mine) Why is it that everyone we detain for any reason is never guilty of anything?  It would seem to me that we have a lot of terrorist fish to fry and we would not detain for no reason at all.

In addition Al-Jazeera is not a major international news organization, its a shill for the Islamic terrorists.  We aren’t harassing Al-Jazeera we are simply pointing out that Al-Jazeera is a front for Islamic terrorism in the same way that various ‘news organizations’ in the old USSR were fronts for ‘International Communism’.

Let’s be clear about one thing, the US has no Islamic allies and the average Muslim hates the US because the mullahs say they should.  Some people don’t get the fact that we are at war, at war with Islam and have been for decades.  Al-Jazeera and its merry minions are a minor part of the Islamic assault on the Western way of life and saying that they aren’t is just duplicitous.

Todd Smith, editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine, subsequently posted a statement of his own, entitled “Outdoor Life and Jim Zumbo Part Ways.”

“In light of comments made by Jim Zumbo in his February 16, 2007, blog posting on the magazine’s website, Mr. Zumbo has offered to terminate his association with Outdoor Life, and the magazine has accepted his offer,” Smith said.

“Accordingly, he will no longer be contributing to the magazine in print or online,” the editor-in-chief wrote.

“We respect Mr. Zumbo’s First Amendment right to free speech, and we acknowledge his subsequent apology and admission of error,” Smith added. “We regret this turn of events, as Mr. Zumbo has been a good friend to this magazine and lifelong advocate for hunters and hunting rights.”

Remington Arms Company, Inc., made a similar statement on its website.

“As a result of comments made by Mr. Jim Zumbo in recent postings on his blog site,” Remington “has severed all sponsorship ties with Mr. Zumbo, effective immediately,” the news release noted.

Other sponsors cutting their ties with Zumbo include Cabela’s Outfitters, Gerber Legendary Blades, High Mountain Seasonings, the National Rifle Association and Haas Outdoors, Inc., the home of Mossy Oak Brand Camouflage. “Jim Zumbo Outdoors,” a cable TV series on the Outdoor Channel, was also cancelled.

Mexican anger over US ‘trespass’

February 26th, 2007 . by Basti

Mexican anger over US ‘trespass’

Mexico’s Congress has condemned what it says is a border violation by US workers building a controversial barrier between the two countries.

Legislators say workers and equipment building a section of the barrier have gone 10 metres (yards) into Mexico.

The alleged border violation comes ahead of a high-level meeting in the Canadian capital Ottawa.

US, Mexican and Canadian foreign ministers are to discuss border security and trade issues.

Mexican legislators said they had photographs and video, taken on Monday, of the workers and heavy-duty construction equipment that showed them about 10 metres inside Mexico near the border city of Agua Prieta and the town of Douglas, Arizona.

The Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa said she had complained to the US authorities and that the men and equipment had been withdrawn.

Continental trade concerns

In a statement, the US Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza said: “The US is sensitive to Mexican concerns… [and] has the deepest respect for the integrity of the sovereignty of Mexican soil”.

(Green highlight above is mine) This would be serious if it weren’t so damned funny!

Good thing I’m not POTUS I’d declare a 500 yard free fire zone on the beaner side of the border and bring in the Specture gun ships, set up a claymore minefield, intall trip wires, and set a quad .50 gun post every 1000 yards with over lapping fields of fire.  We’d see then how that would work for these useless border jumpers.  You see I wouldn’t ask the beaners about border security, I tell them how it was going to be and if they didn’t like, they’d just have to lump it!
