The 'Isms' That Bedevil Bush, particularly PATRIOTISM

Bush belittles patriots calling them 'nativists' while he pursues a policy of 'jingoism' overseas.

It is the PATRIOTISM of citizens that is keeping him from the keystone of his legacy, amnesty/citizenship for illegal aliens here in the USA.

The 'Isms' That Bedevil Bush

by Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted: 03/25/2008

On reading George Bush's discourse to the New York Economic Club last week, Cicero's insight came to mind: "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."

With Iraq entering its sixth year, the dollar sinking to peso levels, the economy careening into recession, and 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens roosting here, Bush alerted us to what really worries him:

"I'm troubled by isolationism and protectionism ... (and) another 'ism,' and that's nativism. And that's what happened throughout our history. And probably the most grim reminder of what can happen to America during periods of isolationism and protectionism is what happened in the late -- in the '30s, when we had this America First policy and Smoot-Hawley. And look where it got us."

[ed: It really keeps him awake nights trying to dream up a scheme to legalize all those illegal aliens he has employed and promised citizenship back at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas. So he has to belittle patriotic citizens for wanting to remove the hoard of invaders that are occupying US territory and taking jobs that citizens would do in factories making skids and other industrial work that are currently occupied by illegal workers. McCain has taken over the Bush dream and wants to make amnesty HIS legacy. McCain also wants to continue to beat down the push for a full acounting of the MIAs of Vietnam. John Kerry destroyed the documents of live sightings that were in government hands and McCain approved.]

Let us try to sort out this dog's breakfast.

First, America was never isolationist. From its birth, the republic was a great trading nation with ties to the world. True, in 1935, 1936 and 1937, a Democratic Congress passed and FDR signed neutrality acts to keep us out of the Italo-Abyssinian and Spanish civil wars. And FDR did say, "We are not isolationist except insofar as we seek to isolate ourselves completely from war." But how did staying out of Abyssinia and Spain hurt America?

As for Smoot-Hawley, it was a tariff enacted in June 1930, nine months after the Crash of 1929, which occurred, as Milton Friedman won a Nobel Prize for proving, when the stock market bubble, caused by the Fed's easy money policy, burst. Smoot-Hawley had nothing to do with a Depression that began in 1929 and lasted through FDR's first two terms. This is a liberal myth, probably taught to Mr. Bush by New Deal Democrats at the Milton Academy.

America First was an organization of 800,000 anti-interventionists formed at Yale in 1940 by patriots like Gerald Ford, Potter Stewart and Sargent Shriver, backed by John F. Kennedy, to check FDR's drive to war. Herbert Hoover supported it, and its greatest spokesman was the Lone Eagle, Charles Lindbergh.

But America First did not make policy. FDR did. And it was FDR who, by cutting off Japan's oil in July 1941, rebuffing Prince Konoye's offer to meet him in the Pacific or Alaska and issuing a virtual ultimatum on Nov. 26, 1941 -- to get out of China -- that propelled Japan to its fatal decision to attack Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7.

Isolationist is an epithet used to smear those patriots... [more]

Jorge's Earmark - The Merida Initiative - 1.4 BILLION for Mexico

cross posted to "No Amnesty - GOT IT?"

El Presidente Bush will not secure our border but wants to quietly slip over a billion dollars to Mexico.

The article was excerpted below. Please follow the linik for the full text. Italics are my comments.

The Merida Initiative - a $1.4 Billion Dollar Border Security Package for Mexico

by John Wallace

President Bush is pushing for a massive $1.4 billion, multi-year foreign-aid package for Mexico that is designed to help that country secure their southern border...

Yes, Bush has done everything in his power to leave our borders unprotected but wants to send $1.4 billion (1400 stacks of a million dollars) to Mexico!

Congress recently reduced funding for our own border security efforts, particularly for the border fence, giving money to a foreign country to secure their border would seem almost too unbelievable to be true.

Bush will spend this for Mexico but not for the USA.

Unfortunately, it is true and the plan is called "The Merida Initiative." The funding for this initiative is tucked into the 2008 supplemental budget...

We could expect no less from the corrupt politicians in our government.

Many of the meetings to create "The Merida Initiative" were held in secret by government representatives of both Mexico and the USA, without congressional input.

The proposed Merida Initiative is set to go before congress soon for approval. The entire funding package should be rejected outright and the $1.4 Billion should be immediately re-allocated and put to better use in securing our own border by hiring more Border Patrol agents, completing the border fence, speeding up the deportation of illegal aliens and upgrading the training and firepower of state and local law enforcement agencies in border states and ports of entry.

Let's secure America's border first, before we try to secure another country's border.

The Bush State of the Union - Unrequited Amnesty

Last night in his final State of the Union speech, Bush had assembled members and guests standing while clapping and cheering on most issues.

Bush bemoans the failure of his amnesty legacy - His immigration topic was applauded by the pro-amnesty caucus. This is what Bush seems to consider as the keystone of his legacy. It failed in two previous attempts. He sounded like there would be one last great lame duck push.

2006 - The open illegal alien demonstrations, the gathering of all the senate panderers, the US Council of American Catholic Bishops, National Council of Churches, The US Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, La Raza, The DNC (funded and backed by MoveOnKoSoroStryker), all seem to be an implacable, unstoppable army of pro-amnesty foes for the forcefull push for passage of S.2611. The senate AXIS of Amnesty tossed in Social Security to sweeten the package for illegals. The Citizen Patriots defeated them.

2007 - They made another try (S.1348/S.1639) to slip it past us by stealth this time. Secret back room meetings to formulate the amnesty package with no committee discussion or debate. La Raza and other amnesty special interets were allowed input to the content of the amnesty gift package. Then the panderers ran it right out to the Senate floor as a completed amnesty abortion ready for an up-or-down vote with limited floor debate. They tried several cloture votes to stop debate/filibuster and FAILED! This was the legislation that would have given illegals aliens legal status after a phoney 24 hour status check. Remember the confident Bush statement: "I'll see you at the signing!" He fully expected to be able to slip this one to us. Despite attempts to isolate legislators to curb citizen protests against the treachery of the government, patriotic citizens prevailed again.

2008 - Bush is not done. His amnesty wet dreams are still a possibility in this lame duck legislative period. We must be vigilant for the next Kennedy-Bush-McCain amnesty attempt. Many of the senate RINOs are still in place too. The whole pander coterie on the socialist Democrat side of the aisle are still there. While there are patriotic citizens that claim membership in the Democrat coalition, they apparently did nothing about their illegal alien pandering representatives. We have a hard core panderer in the Michigan delegation that is seeking re-election this November, Senator Carl Levin. Levin is a hard core panderer. If McCain becomes president, we will be fighting amnesty all over again. If Clinton or Obama become president, we will also be fighting against amnesty. Catch your breath and get ready to fight all over again.

The McCain Litany (of reasons why he is not a conservative)

By James Foley "Bloggin on down the Rogue"

[note: The choir sings the refrain and the cantor sings the verses. The rest of the population can hum along.]

Refrain: [repeated after each verse]

"I am a war hero so you can't cri-ti-cize me"

Verses:

"John McCain...

1. ...has built a reputation as a maverick by stabbing his party in the back...
2. ...delights in sticking it to his colleagues while winning accolades from the mainstream liberal media...
3. ...defenders forbid us from criticizing him because he is a war hero...
4. ...joined liberals in slandering the truth-telling Swift Boat veterans as "dishonest and dishonorable"...
5. ...changed his position on immigration to shore up support in South Carolina, then after that primary arrogantly denied to Sean Hannity that he'd flip-flopped...
6. ...crusades against Guantanamo...
7. ...favors constitutional rights for terrorists but opposes tough interrogation techniques...
8. ...was the ringleader of the Gang of 14...
9. ...legitimized the filibustering of judicial nominees...
10. ...is the godfather of political speech-suppressing and Democrat-favoring campaign-finance reform legislation [McCain-Feingold]...
11. ...has displayed contempt for conservative evangelicals...
12. ...co-sponsored the abominable McCain-Kennedy illegal immigrant-forgiveness/open-borders/Social Security zapping bill...
13. ...voted for the Specter amendment, to confer consulting rights on Mexico concerning the erection of a southern border fence...
14. ...sold out on global warming...
15. ...opposes reversal of Roe vs. Wade...
16. ...took campaign contributions and vacation trips to lobby bank regulators for Charles Keating...

... and his supporters say he is conservative." [Refrain]

===

[note: I added in the last verse about McCain's participation in the Keating 5 bank scandal because it also shows how he was closely tied to Democrats while taking large cash contributions plus vacations and jet trips from Charles Keating, all for a little lobbying of the bank regulators to back off while Keating's bank was going under. This cost taxpayers over TWO BILLION dollars.]

The 2007 Amnesty Year Review

2007 was the year when a powerfull axis of organizations joined to try to force amnesty for illegal aliens against the will of the citizens of the USA.

Groups Join Forces on Immigration

By Eunice Moscoso | Thursday, January 18, 2007, 02:17 PM

Groups lobbying for changes in the nation’s immigration laws, including a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, have dubbed themselves the “Alliance for Immigration Reform 2007.” [aka "The Amnesty AXIS", "The AXIS of Evil", or just "The AXIS"]

The organizations, which announced their new name Thursday in a conference call with reporters, include the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic civil rights group; the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; the Service Employees International Union; the National Immigration Forum; and the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank based in New York.

“This is the year to get this done,” said Tamar Jacoby, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. “Everybody, no matter who they are, is sick of the illegality and the porous borders. Businesses are tired of lying to the government and having to break the law just to get the work done. Latinos want to see their friends and family able to work with dignity. And soccer moms and dads want to see Congress solve something.”

Bruce Josten, executive vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said he expected President Bush to address immigration in his State of the Union speech Tuesday.

“I have absolutley no doubt that he will raise this issue and he will press and stay on the message he has been on since a candidate for this office for a comprehensive solution to immigration,” Josten said.

White House spokesman Tony Snow confirmed the topic.

The speech “will address major issues, including the war on terror, energy, health care, immigration, and education,” he told reporters Thursday.

===

The AXIS: Despite the backing of the US Chamber of Commerce, the Bishops, Arch Bishops, and Cardinals of the American Catholic Church, Big Union (AFL-CIO represented by SEI), a putatively conservative think tank (Manhattan Institute), El Presidente Bush, the DNC including all but a bare handfull of Democrat senators, approximately half of the GOP senators (including Frist, the GOP senate majority leader), MoveOnKoSoroStryker (arguably this IS the true leadership of the DNC politburo), and the MSM which is always sympathetic to socialist/leftist causes, but especially for amnesty...

The Patriots: Patriotic Citizens of all political persuasions joined together to turn back the AXIS attempt to dissolve our national sovereignty that would have effectively thrown open our borders to tens of millions of newly arriving illegal aliens.

The amnesty attempts were formulated in secret with no involvement in legislative committees. La Raza and other amnesty pimps were allowed to give input as to the content of the first bill (S.1348) to be taken directly to the senate floor, where The AXIS thought they had enough votes to force it through.

A very smug George Bush said, "I'll see you at the signing!" [...instead he got bitch-slapped again, just like with Dubai Ports and Harriet Miers. This may explain why he had his pet prosecutor, Jonny Sutton, dump border guards in prison while using a Bush Cartel drug smuggler as witness in the star chamber trials.]

Can you imagine the expression on the face of El Presidente Bush when he found out that The PATRIOTS had been flooding their senators and congressmens phones, faxes, and emails with demands that this bad legislation be defeated... and it was.

The AXIS made another stealth attempt with a renumbered amnesty package (S.1639). They tried a tactic of making the legislators unavailable except through special hotlines to allow illegal aliens to call in, excluding The PATRIOTS. These numbers were made public and citizens started using them too. Once again, The Patriots prevailed over The AXIS.

The midterm elections in 2006 was a turning point. It turned the senate and house, starting in 2007, over to Democrats. The new majority was made possible by new Democrat candidates who ran on platforms that were, in most cases, more conservative than their opponents. Time will tell if this is true.

The AXIS was not through with their attempts though. Instead of the comprehensive, big package approach, they shifted gears and now are using the incremental approach of attaching small items to other unrelated legislation to slip it to us a little at a time. The DREAM act was such a piece of legislation.

The AXIS had one victory in December of 2007. The managed to defund and kill the border fence that was authorized in 2006. This is a reason that patriotic citizens must stand together.

[The "death by a thousand cuts" analogy has been made as relates to the slow infiltration, occupation, and take over of our southwestern states without a shot being fired except by criminal gangs of illegals. El Presidente Bush has no intention of enforcing immigration law strenuously during his tenure, so this will fall to whoever is elected as the next president. By that time it may be necessary to use military units to clean out and retake our territory from the occupying hoard while guarding the border against military incursions from the south.]

See: I am an American Citizen

Here is the page about the private hotlines for illegals to use to call in: Bush Listening

The Bush scandal that the MSM refused to cover, because it was a willing participant, is known as Bordergate. The MSM tried to fabricate out of whole air various things to use as a scandal for Bush, such as manufactured military records by CBS/Damn Rather, when they had everything they need, if they had not been so heavily involved themselves, via their political allegiance to the socialist Democrats who are also primo amnesty panderers.

In December 2007, Michigan AG Mike Cox issued his opinion (weight of law unless successfully challenged in court) that illegal aliens may not be issued Michigan drivers licenses, a reversal of the opinion of the Democrat former AG Frank Kelley. How this will affect the illegals already holding Michigan Drivers Licenses (and possibly voter registration cards) was not dealt with as far as I can ascertain. We may well face a certain number of illegal voters at the polls.

Independent Liberal Democrat and amnesty co-conspirator Senator Joe Lieberman endorsed John McCain for president.

Bush pardoned and commuted sentences of 105 criminals (fraud, robbery, drug smuggling, forgery, counterfeiting, car theft, income tax evasion, military AWOL, moonshining and bootlegging (illegal liquor), theft of US mail, illegal weapons) and no pardons or commutations for Ramos, Compean, or any of the other law men who were railroaded into prison by his pet prosecutor, Johnny Sutton. George did spring Scooter Libby (commuted not pardoned).

The Bush Pardon List (no Ramos or Compean)

After looking over this lest of embezzlers, bank robbers, bootleggers, dope smugglers and dealers, you can appreciate how we are moving toward a corrupt government like Mexico has. The list of criminals pardoned and commuted by Bush (so far) is impressive and shows you that it is advantageous to have the head of the Bush Cartel in the drivers seat of the United States as we move toward becoming another banana republic. Bush still has not figured out how to declare himself dictator for life.

Take a look at the assorted druggies and other criminals that Bush cut loose. He has NOT made any move toward springing Compean or Ramos. It was his corrupt prosecutor and judge that railroaded them into prison.

The list comes from The Pardon List as published in Wikipedia

Drivers Licenses for Illegals

On June 29, 2007 I wrote an article on this blog ILLEGALS REGISTERING TO VOTE IN MICHIGAN. And then...

In July, I was flailing away, trying to get someone, ANYONE, to pay attention to the case of Michigan issuing illegal alien drivers licenses. Our AG Mike Cox doesn't seem interested. I emailed his office and it probably ended in the circular file. Talking to the Michigan Sec. of State office is equally unproductive. I was told that it will take an act of congress to make them stop issuing drivers licenses to illegals.

Today, I heard Rush Limbaugh devoting a segment to the issue of the state of New York issueing drivers licenses to illegals. Welcome aboard Rush!

FINALLY! Someone is taking notice of my alarm message on drivers license and voter fraud.

On July 6th I posted here on my blogs, article #936, about drivers licenses for illegals:

Michigan Drivers Licenses for Illegals

Since the Michigan Drivers License is the only form of ID required to register to vote in Michigan and the Michigan Secretary of States office issues Michigan Drivers Licenses to illegals, then it seems logical to stop the practice.

I have received emails from state employees confirming my worst fears, and they say that it will take an act of congress to make Terri Lynn Land stop.

Time to get the publicity ball rolling!

===

and on July 29th I posted article #956 on the subject:

Are we ready for massive voter fraud?

Illegal Aliens CAN register to vote in Michigan!

To vote you must be a citizen by birth or naturalization. Immigrants, legal and illegal are not eligible.

Voting is a CITIZENSHIP privelege but it is quietly being extended by panderers to non-citizens.

The system is rigged to look like our government is protecting citizens rights. It has been subverted by not listing citizen status on the government ID or drivers license. Appearances are that the attorney general is a participant. It has been pooh-poohed at the state level so far.

Here in Michigan, the ID requirement to obtain a Michigan Drivers License or ID looks tough.

There is no citizenship (born or naturalized) requirement for a Michigan Drivers License.

Immigration status (illegal or green card) is not mentioned anywhere on the drivers license or ID card.

How could an illegal alien get the prime identification of the State of Michigan?

If they spent any time in one of the border states, they probably have a Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or California drivers license. Many states issue a drivers license to illegals. Do these states also use the license as ID for voter registration? These out-of-state licenses are accepted by the Michigan Secretary of State as a valid ID when applying for a Michigan Drivers License. Also I have found out that, even though it isn't listed with the required identifications, the Mexican Consulate issued Matricula Card is being accepted too.

Q: What does having a Michigan drivers license enable you to do?

A: You can register to vote! (Even as a non-citizen because of possession of a Michigan Drivers License!)

Q: What else is needed to register to vote?

A: Utility bills or other papers showing residency. Then you sign a statement that you are a citizen. This should pose no problem to someone who is already violating laws by being here illegally. What is one little lie about your citizenship status on top of all the federal laws already being broken.

The Michigan Drivers License is the ONLY form of ID required to vote in Michigan. No birth certificate or naturalization papers are needed.

We have heard that La Raza and other subversive organizations are on a drive to register voters... now we know how they are going to do it!

I have emailed Mike Cox, the Michigan AG, about this and nothing has been heard since. The Michigan Secretary of State and the Michigan Attorney General seem to be in agreement that this is OK. The word from the Michigan SOS offices is that an act of Congress is necessary to make them stop these practices.

Both of these were cross posted to the CAII member forum for wider distribution.

Along with this, back in July I posted several times on the local churn Grand Rapids MLive.com forum, and also posted to the AARP.com forum on the subject. I sent messages to TheHill.com, RollCAll.com, Washington Post, Detroit Free Press, and and other publications via the Congress.org media contact pages. I sent messages to Rush and Sean Hannity. With Rush giving it air time, this now has a chance of being challenged and reversed.

Public Health will be a hot button issue in 2008

Why is public health tied to immigration and politics?

Q: Why have diseases that have been considered to be eradicated in the USA re-appeared and are in some cases drug resistant?

A: Illegal aliens are bringing these diseases over the border with them. In nearly 100% of the cases, the illegals have never had any childhood innoculations for any of the cases that are now coming to light here.

Are we to be ruled by international judges now?

permalink: http://www.rogueriver. tzo.com/NoAmnesty/ archives/2007/ 10/entry_159.html

It is bad enough:

• to have legislation and constitutional amendments made by the swing of a gavel by the supreme court with no ratification by the states,

• to have states rights run over by federal black robes and the imperial congress plus King George on his throne at the White Palace (aka White House).

The people of Texas are demanding justice for the two raped and strangled teenage girls, and are pleading with the El Supremo Black Robes to ignore foreign judges. Breyer and Ginsburg are two that feel we must look to foreign courts for ruling to guide us. If the supreme court rules with Bush and the foreigners, then our sovereignty is truly gone! Then lets just start the revolution and retake our country BAMN! For the minutemen, keep your powder dry and be ready.

WE WILL NOT BE RULED BY FOREIGN LAW, OR JUDGES! (No matter how desperately Bush and his globalist bonesmen buddies wish it otherwise!)

Bush, Texas at odds over death case

By MARK SHERMAN, AP Writer

cross posted from YAHOO! News [YAHOO! links are crapola and dissapear in 24 hours or less.]

WASHINGTON - To put it bluntly, Texas wants President Bush to get out of the way of the state's plan to execute a Mexican (an illegal alien) for the brutal killing of two teenage girls.

[Ahhh so, Bushie thinks Texas is his tea garden once again! Hey Jorge, you are not the governor anymore!]

Bush, who presided over 152 executions as governor of Texas, wants to halt the execution of Jose Ernesto Medellin in what has become a confusing test of presidential power that the Supreme Court, which hears the case this week, ultimately will sort out.

[What confusion? Bush cannot commute or stop state execution of its laws. That is in the purview of the current sitting governor. Hey El Presidente Bush. Do you think you are king now and can reel off imperial rulings that we should all just genuflect and accept? Or are these commands of the head of the Bush Cartel?]

The president wants to enforce a decision by the International Court of Justice that found the convictions of Medellin and 50 other Mexican-born prisoners violated their rights to legal help as outlined in the 1963 Vienna Convention.

[The illegals are here in criminal violation of our laws. They form criminal gangs to break more laws, commit murder -as in the case in question- and then expect El Presidente Bush to ride in with the Bush Cartel and the Mexican Cavalry to their rescue. NEWS FLASH! AZTLAN has not yet been established. I gotta say that Bush is sure trying to help his true constituency. I wish WE had a president that stood up for the USA like that!]

Michigan Drivers Licenses for Illegals

Since the Michigan Drivers License is the only form of ID required to register to vote in Michigan and the Michigan Secretary of States office issues Michigan Drivers Licenses to illegals, then it seems logical to stop the practice.

I have received emails from state employess confirming my worst fears, and they say that it will take an act of congress to make Terri Lynn Land stop.

Time to get the publicity ball riolling!

The Cloture Vote - The Democrat Amnesty Bill (S.1639)

The Cloture Vote on the Bush-Kennedy-McCain amnesty package S.1639 has been held and a substantial number of purported Republican Senators committed political suicide. I will have the official senate vote shortly and will post the names. I am curious to see which way my state's two Democrat senators voted. Michigan is still in a one state recession and Debbie Stabenow has been saying she was against the bill. Let us just see! It would be no surprize if Carl Levin voted for it. He is as pro-amnesty as they come. Carl will be running for his seat again in 2008.

Bush, McCain and Kennedy - The Three Amigos

 

Greed is a powerfull inducement to become a traitor....

Q: Why are so many Republican Senators openly championing illegal immigration, that is anathema to the conservative base of the party?

A: [1] They have never been truly beholden to the base except at election time. They have been biding their time until enough of their large biz coalition could be assembled at once to be able to push their view of how the USA should be run... Royalty and Peasants. [2] They are corrupt politicians that know where the money is coming from that lines their pockets.

I don't mention the Democrat side of the senate [but do silently include them] because it is a given that the Democrats (with a few exceptions such as Senator Stabenow) are traitors and it is beating a dead horse to belabor the fact.

Here is a list of large businesses and corporations that are openly supporting illegal immigration in defiance of the law. This list is from the web site of the subversive hispanic organization La Raza. Try a test... call any of them and see if you get the recording "To continue in English, press 1".

I wonder when they will set it to default to Spanish if nothing is pressed?

Amnesty for illegals - 1986 and Today

Excerpted from the NY Times - By ROBERT PEAR

We have an amnesty history to disect and examine.

We have politicians who were there as participants in the 1986 amnesty, the Simpson-Mazzoli Act.

Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, said “I thought then that taking care of three million people illegally in the country would solve the problem once and for all,” Mr. Grassley said. “I found out, however, if you reward illegality, you get more of it. Today, as everybody has generally agreed, we have 12 million people here illegally.”

Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota, said: “I was here in Congress in 1986. I heard all the promises of the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. None of them were true, and three million people got amnesty. There was no border security to speak of, no employer sanctions to speak of, and there was no enforcement.”

Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said: “The American people were sold a bill of goods. It didn’t work. We got an amnesty, and we got no enforcement. That is why people are so distrustful now.”

Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, said he supported amnesty in 1986 “based on the very same promises we hear today.” But that law did not work, Mr. Byrd said, and “I will not vote to make the same mistake twice.”

One of Mr. Bush’s “first principles,”... “Do not repeat the 1986 failure.” He and other supporters of the current Senate bill (S.1348) say it puts enforcement first this time. [Wrong! It puts amnesty first because it IMMEDIATELY legalizes the illegals with no further action needed on their part. From that point, they can seek a Z-Visa or just continue on as they were.]

[No Jorge, it allows Michael Jerkoff hmmmm Chertoff to certify that enforcement is in place but does not require anything to actually be done. As of this moment, we consider you and your amnesty team to be a collection of liars. This amnesty is Simpson-Mazzoli - The Sequel. Airplane - The Sequel was funny, you are not! The tip-off as to how bad this whole thing really is? Look at the 24 hour backgrouind check deadline... if the government can not issue a passport to a CITIZEN in twelve to sixteen weeks, how are we to believe that the bureaucracy will suddenly shift into warp speed and do background checks on 12 to 20 million illegals who have no paper trails in just 24 hours, other than the litter they left behind crossing the border. Jorge, you and Michael Jerkoff are jerking us off and we are getting pissed off about it!]

Supporters of the Senate bill acknowledge that the nation’s experience with the 1986 law has made their job harder. [It is that much harder to continue with your stone faced lies to us when we are yelling at you that we will not accept this amnesty bill.]

In signing the 1986 measure into law, President Ronald Reagan said, “Future generations of Americans will be thankful for our efforts to humanely regain control of our borders.”

The "humane" pansy methods of border law enforcement were worthless. Now it is time to add some miltiary strength to the border, if you want us to believe that you are more than just a damned liar, Jorge Bush! Go ahead, make our day. Convince us that you are serious after 6 years of inactivity on your part, Jorge.

Supporters of the 1986 measure freely used the word “amnesty” at the time. President Bush insists that the Senate bill “does not grant amnesty” because an illegal immigrant would have to pay a fine, pass background checks and hold a steady job to gain legal status. No problemo Jorge! You just do the instant 24 hour background check, presto chango, they are now legalized and can stay in place. Then you just have to issue citizenship papers and voter registrations.

The Bush-Kennedy Amnesty is not just a rehash of the 1986 amnesty. It is Simpson-Mazzoli on steroids. Jorge, you have steadfastly refused to uphold existing immigration law. We see no reason to believe that you will reform your pandering ways and uphold any new immigration laws beyond the portions legaling 20 million or more illegals.

Go ahead, Jorge. Make believers out of us!

[psssst! Jorge... why no mention about your land purchase in Paraguay? It is common knowledge in most South American countries. It was reported in several newspapers down there that you purchased 40-50 thousand acres. Is this your retreat if things go really bad here in the USA for you?]

Bush the Deceiver - 24 hour background checks... yup, sure, you betcha, uh huh

Today Bush was showing his horn and pointy tail with his outright lies. He has joined the BIG LIE by saying our immigration system is broken. It is NOT broken. What we have are laws that the Bush administration refuses to enforce, but he expects us to believe that after the amnesty bill is passed he will enforce the replacement laws.

Bush the Amnesty Pimp, with his string of Amnesty Whores in the senate, thinks we will fall for it. He has his string of "johns" in the public who are ready to lie down with his "working sluts" and say whatever will help him pull this one off.

If the government can not issue a passport to a citizen in 12-16 weeks, how are we to believe that by magic they will do background checks on 20 million illegals in 24 hours? The bureaucracy to do that would be staggering. It would be far cheaper to just build the border fence along the full length of the US-Mexico border. The fence would be much more beneficial to the citizens of the USA too. A full length fence backed by electronic monitoring in the more remote regions and live patrols in the more populated ones would work the best.

Bush vows to override citizens and force amnesty

"I'll see you at the bill signing," Bush said confidently about an immigration bill that has run into deep trouble on Capitol Hill.

En route aboard Air Force One, Bush called three senators to discuss how the bill could be revived, the White House said. They were Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo.; Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.; and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

Expect a new round of arm twisting and political bribery (maybe even extortion) to get rebels to vote as Bush Cartel Jefe of Jefes, El Presidente Bush demands. Senator Jon Kyl is the surrogate while "Loose Cannon" McCain is trying to finagle his way into the nomination.

Bush has been criticized for not doing enough for the bill, which is bitterly opposed by many conservatives in his party.

By simple definition, a conservative starts with serving his constituents, the citizen voters that elect him to public office. Their definition of conservative is flawed because they think it is illegals and big business first, then citizens if it does not conflict with the first priority. If there is a conflict, dump the citizen voters unless it is just before re-election time. Then lie your ass off to get re-elected. After that, if it's a senate seat, you have 6 more years to do your worst damage.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I could begin to believe that the whole amnesty thing that bloomed starting last year with the "in your face" demonstrations and has come to full flower now has been germinating, looking for the right combination of pandering legislators to all be in the right places at the right time.

I know that Teddy "Chappaquidic Triathlon Winner - 1st year" Kennedy has been pushing amnesty since the late 1960s, and he was neck deep back in the 1980s for that amnesty.

Bush said it was only one step back after "two steps forward" and vowed to push ahead.

We'll see, Jorge, We'll see!

===

Chappaquidic Triathlon started on July 18, 1969. Ted Kennedy was the first winner. MaryJo Kopechne was the first loser. This July, contact Ted Kennedy on his senate web email form about participating in the 38th Annual Chappaquidic Triathlon - Drink/Drive/Swim - Teddy will hold the ceremonial first drive off the bridge.

AMNESTY is NOT dead yet folks!

ALL of the key players (Big Government, Big Business, Big Religion, Big Union, Big Illegal Alien Lobby) are still on the scene ready to jam it to the citizens of the US if we hesitate and give them an opening. This past couple days has just been a feint by the opposition to make us relax so they can insert the stilletto between the ribs.

Bush, Kennedy, McCain, and all of those who want to bury the USA as we now know it, are still on the scene, scrambling with elbows and arlen specters to make it happen. Our children and grandchildren will be relegated to less than second class citizen status if we let these bastards get away with it.

In the senate, the traitors are numerous... today I want to mention one that has toiled in the amnesty vineyard with little fanfare, as he is not seeking to use it as a presidential trampoline. He has most of the liberal tendencies of a good little Democrat. When you look at him, you are reminded that he may also have a Ferengi somewhere in his heritage, like Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich.

Q. Who is this Democrat in Republican cover?

A. Arlen Specter - Arlen (pronounced [eyn-l] - of, pertaining to, involving, or near the anus) Specter (pronounced [sfingk-ter] - a circular band of voluntary or involuntary muscle that encircles an orifice of the body) so you make the translation. anglo-saxon slang "ass hole". You can see why he prefers the untranslated moniker. It sounds more erudite..Arlen has worked tirelessly to move forward with amnesty for illegals and gets little recognition for his toils. He is a key player in the Bush, Kennedy, McCain amnesty traitor coalition.

A majority of the senate Democrats and enough of the coalition that were formerly thought to be Republican senators are solidly behind the betrayal of US sovereignty. If you are a blue collar working citizen that wants to preserve your way of life for your chiuldren and grand children, then you had better start calling, writing, and emailing your senators and congressmen. Do not be fooled. They do not now and never have supported the "Rule of Law". That is why we now have an estimated 20 million illegal aliens infesting the US like cockroaches.

Hmmm "The Bush-Kennedy-McCain Cockroach Coalition" kinda has a ring to it!
