More Americans Correctly Believe US Is Winning War On Terror!

It’s amazing how simply good news which is hard to ignore changes the minds of those that are fixated on negative reporting:

The latest Rasmussen Reports tracking poll finds that 43% of Americans now say the U.S. and its allies are winning the War on Terror . That’s up from 39% a month ago and is the highest level of optimism registered in nearly a year.
The national telephone survey found that 30% now believe the terrorists are winning. That’s up two points from a month ago but down two from the month before.

Damn. Time for you libs to get on that hotline to your buddy Usama and tell him to get his ass in gear!

As violence declines in Iraq and there is less “bad news” to report, the constant drum beat of pessimism from the liberal end of the media has gone from a deafening roar to a light tapping.

Rudy Giuliani on immigration

On border security
Republican Rudy Giuliani has said the federal government needs to ensure U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico are secure to prevent future terrorist attacks. The former New York mayor cites a bomb scare in London in 2007 as an example.

On immigration overhaul
Giuliani opposed the 2007 comprehensive bill that would have provided a path to citizenship for most illegal immigrants in the USA, created a “guest-worker” program, changed visa rules to emphasize a worker’s skills and beefed up border security. He called it “a typical Washington mess” and said it was a “mish-mash” written for lawyers.

Giuliani advocates a federal database of immigrants and a way to identify people who are eligible to work in the USA. The best way “to sensibly create security is to have a tamper-proof card, a database, and then kind of back up from that,” he said during the GOP presidential debate May 3 at the Ronald Reagan presidential library.

Vet Versus Vet (Russell V. Murtha)

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — A career Army member left the service two years short of retirement to move here and try his hand at politics by challenging longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. John Murtha.First-time candidate William T. Russell, 45, a Republican, acknowledged that taking on a popular, 18-term congressman in the 2008 election will be “an uphill battle.”

“But it’s one that must be fought,” Russell told the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown.

Russell plans to formally announce his candidacy within weeks. Murtha has declined comment on the challenge.

…

Russell, who moved from the Washington, D.C., area to Murtha’s district specifically to take on the congressman, has a long Army and Army Reserve career that includes tours of duty in the Balkans and both Iraq wars. He and his wife, Kasia, were in the Pentagon when a hijacked airliner slammed into the building on Sept. 11, 2001. Both escaped unhurt.

Crap. Talk about taking away an issue from Jack Murtha who will no longer be able to hide behind the fact that he is a veteran. You mean he will actually have to debate based on substance?

Don’t worry libs. The entitlement mentality is so engrained in Johnstown and the rest of Murtha’s cockeyed district that all the arms of the union hacks would sooner break than be able to pull a lever for someone other than John “Anyone Seen My White Flag” Murtha.

Mike Huckabee on immigration

On border security
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, has said Americans need to worry about security on the northern and southern borders. He advocates building a fence, parts of which would be electronic. “What we need to do is a have a border that is sealed and the same kind of process that we have to go through if we go into a stadium: We go in one at a time and we have a ticket,” he said.

On immigration overhaul
Huckabee opposed the 2007 immigration bill that would have provided a path to citizenship to many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the USA. “It offers amnesty,” he said. Huckabee said people who came here illegally years ago but are “law-abiding taxpayers” should pay a “significant fine” and face either deportation or a “rigorous” process toward legal status. Huckabee also supports a tamper-proof ID card so foreigners can “come here to do the jobs — plucking chickens, tarring roofs, picking fruits — that are going unfilled by our citizens.”

Duncan Hunter on immigration

On border security
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., was the main sponsor of the bill Congress passed in 2006 that called for nearly 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border. He cited results from a fence built in San Diego County, which he represents. “Every criminal activity in every statistical category has been eliminated or decreased,” Hunter said. President Bush signed the bill, which contained no funding to actually build the fence.

On immigration overhaul
Hunter opposed the 2007 comprehensive immigration reform bill that would have established a “guest-worker” program, provided a path to citizenship for most of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the USA, beefed up border security and other provisions. Hunter said the bill would have rewarded “those who have broken our laws,” and compared it to giving amnesty.

In December 2005, Hunter voted for an immigration bill that would have stressed border security, forced employers to verify the legal status of their workers, and deemed illegal immigrants and their families in the USA as criminals.

More Stupid, Stealing Illegals

Six undocumented Mexican immigrants were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.

San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn’t speak English and didn’t have California driver’s licenses, Foreman said. The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing.

Border Patrol agents are not looking for illegal immigrants at the center but will continue responding to police calls for assistance.

Seems like we have found a new way to pick up illegals. Who says we can’t possibly catch them!
Looks like more of the “hard working” illegals have just gotten caught not working all that hard.

U.S. House Approves Race-Based Government for Hawaii

U.S. House Approves Race-Based Government for Hawaii

Washington, D.C. - The U.S. House of representatives today approved a far-reaching bill that would create a race-based government with substantial power over the affairs of the state of Hawaii.

The “Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2007″ (H.R. 505, also called the “Akaka Bill”) was adopted by a 261-153 vote.

Members of the Project 21 black leadership network say the legislation directly conflicts with the spirit of inclusion and equality that civil rights activists fought so hard to create.

“It is contemptibly dishonest, not to mention completely disingenuous, for the very politicians who are best known for decrying racial division to eagerly push legislation to institutionalize race as the guiding principle for a body of government within our United States,” said Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie. “Surely, such a radical proposal deserves more attention and certainly a lot more debate.”

The Akaka Bill, which has not been adopted by the Senate, would create a native Hawaiian government with sovereign immunity akin to that enjoyed by Indian tribes. This proposed government is likely to be determined on racial terms, restricting eligible voters exclusively to those of Hawaiian ancestry. Experts say this limits the voting pool to approximately 400,000 Americans nationwide - roughly 160,000 of whom do not even reside on the Hawaiian Islands. Critics say the proposal would create a virtual caste system on the Hawaiian Islands and might even allow those affiliated with this race-based government to ignore various laws and safety regulations.

President Bush has said he will veto the measure should it reach his desk.

Gerald Reynolds, chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has said the Akaka Bill “would authorize a government entity to treat people differently based on their race and ethnicity… This runs counter to the basic American value that the government should not prefer one race over another.”

The U.S. Supreme Court overwhelmingly ruled in 2000 that a similar “Hawaiian only” provision for voting for the trustees of the state’s Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) was unconstitutional.

A May 2006 poll commissioned by the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii found almost 67 percent of the population of Hawaii opposed the Akaka Bill as introduced in the previous session of Congress, while over 80 percent generally oppose race-based preferences. Almost 70 percent of Hawaiian residents also preferred a statewide referendum on such a proposal rather than having it decided by the U.S. Congress.

“Polls have been conducted and federal Civil Rights Commission hearings have been held that find strong and legitimate public opposition to the Akaka Bill. Rushing a vote now is dismissive and disrespectful,” added Project 21’s Massie, “Instead of representing all people equally, regardless of race and ethnicity, it seems congressional leaders want to ram this legislation through before logic and cooler heads can prevail.”

Project 21, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research, has been a leading voice of the African-American community since 1992.

Too Stupid Even For the NFL?

Have a chuckle:

Maybe he was joking, but gregarious Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder confessed today he didn’t know until Tuesday that people spoke English in London.

Crowder, a former Florida Gator and Atlanta native, apparently isn’t sure where the plane is headed when it takes off this afternoon for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants in Wembley Stadium.

“I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries,” Crowder said. “I swear to God. I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that.

“I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That’s the closest thing I know to London. He’s black, so I’m sure he’s not from London. I’m sure that’s a coincidental name.”

Mr. Crowder had better be thanking his lucky stars he was talented enough to make it in the NFL. Because if it wasn’t for his prowess at football he sounds like he might be sitting on a street corner begging for spare change.

Buchanan Gives History Lesson In “Hucksters”

Pat and I disagree on many things. But we also agree on so much.

The scaremongers are not always wrong. The Trojans should have listened to Cassandra. But history shows that the scaremongers are usually wrong.

Parson Malthus predicted mass starvation 250 years ago, as the population was growing geometrically, doubling each generation, while agricultural production was going arithmetically, by 2 percent or so a year. But today, with perhaps 1 percent of our population in full-time food production, we are the best-fed and fattest 300 million people on Earth.

Karl Marx was proven dead wrong about the immiseration of the masses under capitalism and the coming revolution in the industrial West, though they still have hopes at Harvard.

Neville Chute’s “On the Beach” proved as fictional as “Dr. Strangelove” and “Seven Days in May.” Paul Ehrlich’s “Population Bomb” never exploded. It fizzled when the Birth Dearth followed the Baby Boom.

“The Crash of ‘79″ never happened. Instead, we got Ronald Reagan and record prosperity. The Club of Rome notwithstanding, we did not run out of oil. The world did not end in Y2K, when we crossed the millennium, as some had prophesied. “Nuclear winter,” where we were all going to freeze to death after the soot from Reagan’s nuclear war blotted out the sun, didn’t quite happen. Rather, the Soviet Empire gave up the ghost.

But what is history and the facts? Liberals spend their time cooking spaghetti until they can find a piece that will stick to the wall. That’s what they are about and Buchanan chronicles their past claims pretty well.

Will they ever stop their scare mongering? Nope. But they’ll continue to claim that anyone who wants to stand up to tyrants and dictators who have called for the destruction of America and her allies Chicken Littles and accuse them of scare mongering … even though the facts are on our side.

After all, the world is inverted to liberals.

Hispanic’s force college lockdown over Minuteman project

By Kerry Lester

On Friday, two armies converged upon McHenry County College. A group of Hispanic students offended by the presence of the anti-illegal immigration group on campus attempted to protest an Illinois Minuteman Project seminar at the college’s conference center Friday evening. The students gathered at 5 p.m. in the college’s common area in campus Building A, to collect their thoughts and tape “immigrant” signs to the backs of their shirts… Many of the students who planned to protest are members of Latinos Unidos, the college’s Hispanic student organization. Latinos Unidos presented college President Walter Packard with more than 400 signatures Wednesday of students who opposed the Minuteman group’s use of college facilities.
