FISA, politicians, Law Enforcement; lets fire the incompetent

A known comedian stated tonight, in relation to FISA, which President Bush had said that “September 11 had changed everything”, the comedian preceded to indicate: “apparently so, violating the Constitution used to be jail time, not anymore”.

Here is mi concerns with that: I do not mind comedians making fun of the President, as long as people has the common sense to understand that the guy is exaggerating his point in order to gain popularity. It is his Constitutional right.

FISA, or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was intended to provide the tools or authorization to listen in conversations of American citizens when they receive or make phone calls to suspected terrorists; it also prohibit citizens from suing phone companies for providing records subpoenaed by the Courts.

Understand that if Mr. Snuffy is talking to a known or perceived terrorist, I want the authorities to listen on the conversation. Ignorance is not an excuse. If the individual you are conducting business with is a friend of Saddam Hussein, like Mr. Rezko, or a friend of someone who has such little regard for life, that he wishes that he had placed more bombs like William Ayres (self confessed domestic terrorist), or has no regard for innocent lives that he or she wants to blow himself or herself up, while at the same time destroying lives and or property, then, they forfeited their civil rights.

Lets face it, our Constitution gives our citizens rights; and contrary to what the Supreme Courts seem to believe, if you are a criminal that is not an American citizen, either because you snuck in the United States illegally, or under false pretenses, or are trying to come in to cause mayhem, or are trying to coordinate with someone to destroy property or hurt innocent lives, you have no rights in my book. The rights guaranteed under the Constitution are for American Citizens. If you are not a citizen, you have the right not to be mistreated, but our authorities have the right to use as much force as needed to neutralize you.

That is not violating the law. That is simply, protecting our citizens. We are the only fools who want to give terrorist, who are not American Citizens and are not even on American soil, rights guaranteed by the Constitution to American citizens.

The excuse that our enemies would torture our men and women in the Service, is just that, an excuse, since the Islamic extremist past time is to chop, non Muslim’s and Muslim’s alike, heads.

And the drug cartels from Mexico, Central, and South America, are not that far behind. They are decapitating each other, which is not that bad, since they neutralize themselves, but also, they are kidnapping, killing, and mutilating innocent people. MS 13, Mexican Zetas, drug cartels, and wannabe mafia enforcers are destroying our youth and our communities, and our politicians are doing next to nothing. Our law enforcement agencies see their hands tied, because politicians favor criminals like Mumia, and the founder of the Creeps, rather that support out Lawmen and women. Right now, we have two Border Patrol agents in jail, while the scumbag that brought tons of drugs illegally into the United States, is still free. The biggest shame was the District Attorney who offered that drug trafficker amnesty, so he would testify against our Law Enforcement Agents, Ramos and Compean.

We need to wake up. Terrorists, drug pushers, gang bangers, all of them surrender their civil rights when they decided that they want to result to violence against innocent citizens.

Right now, we have the opportunity to fire those weak politicians who block and make our Law Enforcement Agents path to protect the innocent. We need to fire those who for decades continue to be elected and their major accomplishment is doing nothing. Those, whose approval rating is lower than King George on the days of the 13 Colonies, deserve to be fired, and since we cannot fire them, we can prevent them from being reelected. Politicians so incompetent that cannot run their own cafeteria without subsidies from the taxpayers do not deserve reelection.

Lets vote them out of their cushy jobs, and bring new ones. It is our right, it is our duty.

The “Brave Rifles” are at it again...

(originally reported by Marie Colvin in the Sunday Times)

In what appears to be one o the last squirmishes of the war on Al’Qaeda in Iraq, the 2nd Iraqi Army Division along with the “Brave Rifles” of the 3d Armor Cavalry Regiment (my old Unit) in Mosul, led the chare to crush the remainder 0.1% of Al’Qaeda forces in Iraq.

Al’Qaeda, once thought to have around 120000 fighters, is now thought to have 1200, encroached in the northern city of Mosul. They have being forced to a guerilla style of fighting, since they can no longer hold their territory.

The “Lion’s Roar”, name of the military combined arms operation, has resulted in the death of the Al’Qaeda leader, Abu Khalaf, and the arrest of over 1000 suspects.

Nouri Al’Maliki, cautiously pointed out that the terrorist group where trying to lay a claim in Baghdad, but were removed, he has battled the Mahdi Army of Muqtada Al’Sadr, who is presumably in Iran. The US Marines drove them out of the Anbar provinces in the reputed Sunni Triangle; the 3d ACR drove them out of the Ninewah provinces in 2005, and the British Army drove them out of Basra. While cautious not to give too much credit to our troops, is optimistic that we are, in fact winning the fight against fanatic extremist.

The importance of the victory in Ninewah is highlighted by the fact that, years earlier that was a passage for foreign fighters to come into the country. The 3d ACR closed that passage and now, instead of the usual 120 new terrorists per month, the amount declined to about 20 per month.

The mainstream media might hate reporting good news from Iraq; but it seems that we are winning the war on terror in Iraq.

Obama's Speech on Patriotism

A lot has being said by everybody and their sister about Obama’s speech on patriotism. I have done a lot of criticizing, and if you read my posts, you see that I have tried to be fair by criticizing everybody. I do not like Senator Obama, any more than I like Senator Clinton, or Senator McCain for that matter. I believe that all three candidates lean left. Obama and Clinton’s policies are taken out of the pages of Carl Marx. I have many articles where I comment on that fact.

But regarding his speech on patriotism, he was pretty much on point. I listen to a lot of it, and the only part that I question is when he said that he was not going to seat still while people attack his patriotism, and this is only because actions speak louder than words.

When you want to prove that you are a patriot, you prove it by your actions and your words, but mostly by your actions. And when you live your entire live surrounded by America haters, and being indoctrinated by professors who shape your mind to think like Karl Marx, people have the right to question your loyalties.

Take for example the man who he called his mentor and spiritual guide. His sermons alone, those who were publicly sold at church prove that he, Jeremiah Wright, hates America. Everybody else that defends him, I do not know, they might just be naïve. But Reverend Wright, he knew very well what he was doing, he was planting the seeds of hate for our Nation, while laughing his way to the bank. Those who sat with him for twenty years or more, and did not confronted him, or change place of worship, either agree with the “hate America, hate the white man” speeches, are deaf, are naïve, or, I really do not know. Senator Obama is either naïve, agrees with Wright, or did not had the guts to confront his mentor right away and until it was politically expedient, which puts his qualifications for President of the United States into question.

Take Mr. William Ayres, there is no reason whatsoever why a true patriot would not call out Mr. Ayres. For goodness sake, THE MAN CONFESSED TO BOMB THE PENTAGON AND POLICE STATIONS. If anything, at least he is a murderous felon, at the most, A DARN SELF CONFESSED HOMEGROWN TERRORIST. Every military person in the United States swears to protect the Nation against “all enemies foreign and domestic”. Why should the person that wants to be the Commander in Chief of the United States Military not prove that he or she would protect the Nation before he or she takes command? It is a qualification that needs to be enforced. And for those who say that he really did not know this scumbag, how come Obama’s Senator campaign was launched from Ayres house?

These two situations make me question the patriotism of the one who wants to be Commander in Chief. What do you think?

Kidnapped Americans in Mexico, the unreported war

When was the last time that you heard about a kidnapped foreigner in Iraq? I will bet that it was probably last year, and it was one or two.
 
When was the last time that you heard about Kidnapped Americans in Mexico and on the Border with Mexico? I will bet, that unless you listen to Glenn Beck, you have not heard about the 6000 plus murders on the border with Mexico.
 
Or, how about the Mexican Sheriffs that have requested political asylum since their lives have being threated?
 
Or how about the dozens of police officers killed on hte border? Or the beheaded bodies that show up on the streets of border towns on a regular basis. I DO HAVE THE EVIDENCE IN THE FORM OF PICTURES.
 
Thisis as gruesome as the beheadings of foreigners by AlQaeda. And the main stream media does not care or have the guts to publicize this problem.

Follow this link to see the evidence about the kidnapped Americans: http://www.laredosmissing.com/home.html.

Contact your Senator regarding Cap and Trade Bill

 

The Cap and Trade Bill Amendment sponsored by Warner, Lieberman, and Boxer will be debated this coming week.

Because of all the flawed assumptions, logic, and pseudo science, the bill is just a nightmare awaiting to happen for all consumers and capitalist alike.

Please, contact your Senators and Congress People. Yes I know that sometimes there is more common sense in a Kinder Garden Room than in the halls of Government, but if we raise our voices loud enough, hopefully, they will hear us.

If you need a few ideas, check out my Open Letter to the Senate and Congress at: http://thinkingamerican.blogtownhall.com/2008/05/30/open_letter_to_our_senators_and_house_of_representatives.thtml.

Open letter to our Senators and House of Representatives:

On regards to the Amendment of 110th Cong., 2d Session. S. 3036, it is my purpose to call your attention to the following:

  1. The amendment states that Congress found that unchecked global climate change poses a significant threat to the National Security, the economy, the residents of the US, the residents of the world, and the environment.

Answer: Common sense dictates that it is THE SUN the principal contributor to climate change in the planet. Unless we learn to regulate the Sun, any Cap and Trade System that Politicians may want to impose, will be not only ineffective to curtail the effects of the Sun, but will harm the economy of our Nation.

  1. “According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the at atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous in interference with the climate system will require a global effort to reduce worldwide anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 85 percent below 2000 levels by 2050.”

Answer: According to www.Answers.com: “…livestock and paddy rice farming, land use and wetland changes, pipeline losses, and covered vented landfill emissions leading to higher methane atmospheric concentrations. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the livestock industry is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent, a higher share than transportation.” (<http://www.answers.com/topic/greenhouse-gas?cat=technology#wp-_note-6> 29 May 2008)

      This information was publicized, but not as much as it should have, that one of the main causes of greenhouse gases is farm animals. It would be ridiculous to implement a cap and trade system for farm animals flatulence and breathing. This information comes from the United Nations.

c. “…(11) it is possible and desirable—

to cap greenhouse gas emissions, from the sources that together account for the majority of those emissions in the United States, at or below the current level in 2012;…”

Answer: See above explanation. The United Nations disclosed that the majority of the greenhouse gasses come from animal flatulence and breathing. THINK ABOUT IT!

  1. “…(21) more than half the electricity generated in the United States is generated through the burning of coal; the reserve of coal in the United States is larger than the reserve of coal in any other country; while the reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury that will occur in the presence of a declining cap on the greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired electric power generating facilities are larger than those that would 23 occur in the absence of such a cap, new, stricter Federal limits on emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury may still be needed to protect public health; and many existing fossil fuel-fired electric power generating facilities in the United States were exempted by Congress from emission limitations applicable to new and modified facilities of that type based on an expectation by Congress that, over time,…”

Answer: If you are going to mess with Coal, PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE FIRST. Here is a suggestion: Establish several nuclear power plants in the United States, which would reduce the dependence on coal, and provide an alternative. After we are getting our electricity from Nuclear Power (just like France), then start caping Coal. Otherwise, the cost of electricity would be prohibitive.

d. “The purposes of this Act are—

to establish the core of a Federal program that will reduce United States greenhouse gas emissions substantially enough to avert the catastrophic

      impacts of global climate change;…”

Answer: The main cause of climate change is the Sun, followed by farm animal’s discharges. This entire Bill and its amendment do not address either of these problems. There is NO GLOBAL AGREEMENT ON GLOBAL WARMING. There are hundreds of competent scientists that dispute Global warming. The evidence that they provide is substantial.

d.      “…reducing the dependence of the United States on petroleum produced in other countries;…”

Answer: How about Hydrogen cars? How about drilling our own oil reserves? How about drilling off the shores of California and Florida like the Chinese are doing?

These are just a few concerns that come to mind after spending less than an hour studying the Bill; common sense questions about the premises and basis for this Bill.

I have to ask you to vote against this Bill and its amendments, since it will harm our economy, and will do nothing to change or affect our planet’s climate. Thinking otherwise, in my opinion, is being naïve.

Respectfully;

a Thinking American

So Pres Bush offended the cowards

When Senator Obama say that President “…Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists…” he seems to forget his comments in one of the few dozen democrat debates, in which he stated that he would engage those regimes that the State Department has called sponsors of terrorism. In his web-site, it says: “Obama will launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent American history to reach a new compact on the stability of Iraq and the Middle East. This effort will include all of Iraq's neighbors – including Iran and Syria.” Even Senator Hillary Clinton called these statements naïve and dangerous.
Senator Obama’s association with known anti Semites is already thoroughly documented.
 
When Nancy Pelosi and her cronies visited Syria, they did it against State Department policies. So when President Bush implies that these policies are nothing more than appeasement, he is one hundred percent right. Under the advise of Neville Chamberlain (1939). Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement in the hopes that Hitler would not drag Europe into another world war, and we all know the results of their foolhardiness. Hitler became the biggest mass murderer in history by killing, what historians estimate, between 11 and 18 million people, from Jews to gypsy, to gay, and handicap.
 
It is about time that a world leader develop the guts to call it what it is. Those who feel offended by these words better re examine their actions and beliefs. The school bully is never appeased by talking. Bribing the bully is more trouble than is worth, since the bully eventually grows more ambitious, and sooner or later realizes that he or she can take not only your lunch money, but whatever he or she wants.
 
Ahmadenijad, Hamas, Fatah, and every other terrorist organization’s goal are the extermination of the western civilization, and the destruction of Israel. Until these spineless politicians realize this fact, and decide that they are willing to deal with those facts, we are in trouble.
