Illegal Amnesty Plan May End U.S. Sovereignty
This is from May 17th of this year.
The new amnesty plan proposed by Capitol Hill is part of a larger agenda to integrate the United States and Mexico.
The political leadership envision no restriction to the flow of poor workers and goods into the United States. And guess who will pay for all of it.

Lott:”Talk radio is running America.We have to deal with that problem”
Revive the bill
Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status.
The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”
At some point, Mr. Lott said, Senate Republican leaders may try to rein in “younger guys who are huffing and puffing against the bill.”
Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, welcomed the president’s support for more spending on border security, but said, “There’s no reason why we should be forced to tie amnesty to it.”
Representative Duncan Hunter of California, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, scorned such linkage. “The idea that we will have border security only if it’s paid for by illegal immigrants is unacceptable,” Mr. Hunter said.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Ah, Trent, you know don’t you that the founders never envisioned that Congress would “RUN” the country. Did you know that Looney Lottie?? HUH? Did you just forget that? Naw, you know it, you just don’t care.
This is very disturbing that he thinks something has to be done about talk radio. Talk radio as it stands now consists of people exercising their rights to free speech. The hosts and callers are all speaking out on issues of the day. Hmmmm People are paying attention. Can’t have that according to Trent Lott. He sounds like Hillary Clinton and Hugo Chavez. I remember the speech she gave about “stealing profits” for big gov’t programs. Is Trent Lott going to take talk radio from us? Coiffured Invertabrate from the Great State of Mississippi….is not qualified to shine Rush’s shoes.
I called Sen. Lott’s DC office, I told the women that answered that I was one of the “little people”. Then went on to tell her to please give a message to Trent. I was polite to her but she knew I was not a fan of her boss nor the amnesty bill.
One other thought, Lott is also showing his elitist attitude and just how he views the very people who put him in his lofty seat. He sees the people as just someone to be led around by the nose. The level of gall and total disregard for the voting public is astonishing. Aside from the security and sovereignty of our nation, the political calculus is of this shamnesty dumbfounding. These morons are legislating themselves (Republicans) into permanent minority status and destroy the great American economy in the process.
Talk radio is running America???? Screw you Trent Lott. I say One nation, under God and listening to Rush and Laura with liberty and Arturo Fuente cigars for all.
This tells me one thing – our voice needs to be even louder – to offset the spineless republicans.

Preview Of What Is To Come
Southwest Border Courts Swamped With Immigration-Related Felony Cases
Fox News ….for complete story
WASHINGTON
Immigration-related felony cases are swamping federal courts along the Southwest border, forcing judges to handle hundreds more cases than their peers elsewhere.
Judges in the five, mostly rural judicial districts on the border carry the heaviest felony caseloads in the nation. Each judge in New Mexico, which ranked first, handled an average of 397 felony cases last year, compared with the national average of 84.
Federal judges in those five districts — Southern and Western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California — handled one-third of all the felonies prosecuted in the nation’s 94 federal judicial districts in 2005, according to federal court statistics.
While Congress has increased the number of border patrol officers, the pace of the law enforcement has eclipsed the resources for the court system.
Judges say they are stretched to the limit with cases involving drug trafficking or illegal immigrants who have also committed serious crimes. Judges say they need help.

Just a preview of what is to come…all brought to you by your Federal government….and all funded by the U.S. taxpayer. But Whoraldo says that illegals commit far less crimes than us evil lawless Americans.

China Arming Terrorists
Inside the Ring
China Arming Terrorists
Washington Times …..for complete article
New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.
U.S. government appeals to China to check some of the arms shipments in advance were met with stonewalling by Beijing, which insisted it knew nothing about the shipments and asked for additional intelligence on the transfers. The ploy has been used in the past by China to hide its arms-proliferation activities from the United States, according to U.S. officials with access to the intelligence reports.
Some arms were sent by aircraft directly from Chinese factories to Afghanistan and included large-caliber sniper rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs, as well as other small arms.
The Washington Times reported June 5 that Chinese-made HN-5 anti-aircraft missiles were being used by the Taliban.
According to the officials, the Iranians, in buying the arms, asked Chinese state-run suppliers to expedite the transfers and to remove serial numbers to prevent tracing their origin. China, for its part, offered to transport the weapons in order to prevent the weapons from being interdicted.
The weapons were described as “late-model” arms that have not been seen in the field before and were not left over from Saddam Hussein’s rule in Iraq.
U.S. Army specialists suspect the weapons were transferred within the past three months.
The Bush administration has been trying to hide or downplay the intelligence reports to protect its pro-business policies toward China, and to continue to claim that China is helping the United States in the war on terrorism.
John Tkacik, a former State Department official now with the Heritage Foundation, said the Chinese arms influx “continues 10 years of willful blindness in both Republican and Democrat administrations to China’s contribution to severe instability in the Middle East and South Asia.”
Mr. Tkacik said the administration should be candid with the American people about China’s arms shipments, including Beijing’s provision of man-portable air-defense missiles through Iran and Syria to warring factions in Lebanon and Gaza.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
Notice that Iran’s strongest allies are all Communist dictatorships (Russia, Venezuela, North Korea). And to think, Komrade Herr Klintoon traded them military technology for campaign funds. And the Bushies apologized to China after they shot down our plane. Shouldn’t it be vice versa? (And we never got the plane back, either.) And they have allowed Chinese military officials to board U.S. naval ships.
They have nuclear warheads pointed at the West Coast.
Now they’re trying to poison us with knockoff toothpaste.
Red China is our enemy, and their support for terrroists, while not at all surprising, is just one more reason we should keep their corrupt goods out of our country.

A Star Is Born!!
Paul Potts sings Nessun Dorma
Being interviewed, he says “my voice has always been my best friend, if I was having problems with bullies at school, I always had my voice to fall back on, I don’t really know why people bullied me, I was always a little bit different, so I think that’s the reason sometimes that I struggle with self confidence.
Paul is a mobile phone salesman in Carphone Warehouse from South Wales. By day he sells mobile phones, his dream is to spend his life doing what he feels he was born to do.
Paul entered into the competition Britain’s got talent, and on Saturday 9th June 2007, he proclaimed to the world all he wanted to do was to sing opera.
Paul has always wanted to sing as a career, but confidence has always been a difficult thing for him, he’s always found it a little difficult to be completely confident in himself.
He sang Nessun Dorma and had not only audience members in tears within minutes through the emotions of his singing, but no doubt the whole of the UK in tears, he sang with such emotion, it was his time to shine on stage, and that he most definately did.
A Standing ovation greeted Paul as he walked out from the sliding doors, the crowds screamed.
After his performance Simon Cowell said “so you work at carphone warehouse in the day and you did that, I wasnt expecting that one, this was a complete breath of fresh air, I thought you were absolutely fantastic”.
Once his amazing performance was over, another standing ovation, Amanda Holden the female judge in tears again, all the audience was clapping with hands in the air.

I adore Opera, I grew up going to the Opea often, and many times we had some of the singers in our home for the duration of the Opera they were performing in our city.

I love research so after I got this from Vilmar I found that Paul had a MySpace.

U.S. CRAPitol~ OMG LMAO and YIKES!
U.S. Capitol Full of Crap
Washington
People around the country have long complained that politicians are full of it. Now their workplace is too. The story, apparently broken by Roll Call, is that on Wednesday, workers found at least three piles of poo (yes, actual poo) in the hall on the Senate side of the building, and possibly some more in a gallery overlooking the Senate chamber.
There have been piles of questions about this – some have speculated it was an accident by a kid (who must have really had to go), that it was some political statement by one or more adults judging by the sheer amount of doody, or maybe it was brought from elsewhere since nobody spotted the offender(s) in action. The Capitol Police (and unfortunate janitors) have no suspects yet.
Can anybody on the Hill give us some more info?
In any case, we really hope that someone gets to the bottom of this.
Wild Thing’s comment……
How disgusting but hilarious at the same time. The 21st century version of the Boston Tea Party. Oh gosh think of all the one liners for this one. hahahahhaa I know I shouldn’t be laughing, but I am…loudly. Their ALL full of crap. I’ll bet if they look at it very closely, they will find their name tags are still attached.
Illegals, making the poo that Americans won’t.

Bush Says Illegals Are the “vulnerable and exploited
Bush says as Congress fails to pass immigration bill, problem grows worse
Fox News Miami
WASHINGTON (AP) — Left for dead a week ago, legislation to strengthen border security while bestowing legal status on millions of illegal immigrants is showing signs of life. President Bush said on Friday it’s time for Congress to act.
“Each day our nation fails to act, the problem only grows worse,” the president said at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. “I will continue to work closely with members of both parties, to get past our differences, and pass a bill I can sign this year.”
Bush, at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, said, “We must meet our moral obligation to treat newcomers with decency and show compassion to the vulnerable and exploited, because we’re called to answer both the demands of justice and the call for mercy. Most Americans agree on these principles,” the president said. “And now it’s time for our elected leaders in Congress to act.”
Wild Thing’s comment……….
OMG…… Bush says illegals are the “vulnerable and exploited”!
Add to that his outright LIE about how many people are FOR this travesty. I heard on Rush Limbaugh this morning that ONLY 20% of the people ….want this thing. Bush talks and acts like it is in reverse and that it is 80% that want it. I HATE lies and I know the Dems lie but when I hear it from our side it makes me sick to my stomach!!!!

“The Thing that Wouldn’t Die!” – Senators to Revive Immigration Bill
Kennedy discusses immigration reform legislation during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, June 14 2007. From left are, Los Angeles radio host Eddie “El Piolin” Sotelo, Kennedy, Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., and Rep. Joe Baca, D-Calif.
Senators to Revive Immigration Bill
WASHINGTON – Key senators tentatively agreed on a plan to revive a stalled immigration bill on Thursday, aided by President Bush’s support for a quick $4.4 billion aimed at “securing our borders and enforcing our laws at the work site.”
Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said Republican and Democratic supporters of the bill were presenting their proposal to the Senate’s top two leaders, who in turn arranged an early evening meeting to discuss it.
Precise details to be presented to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were not disclosed.
In general, according to officials familiar with the discussions, Republicans and Democrats would each be accorded roughly a dozen chances to amend the measure, with the hope that they would then combine to provide the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster by die-hard opponents. The officials who described the emerging plan did so on condition of anonymity, saying the negotiations had been conducted in private.
The legislation has generated intense controversy, particularly for provisions envisioning eventual citizenship for many of the estimated 12 million immigrants now in the country unlawfully. The bill also calls for greater border security and a crackdown on the hiring of illegal employees.
“We’re going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept,” Bush said, two days after launching a personal rescue mission.
Any agreement is subject to approval by Reid, who has said repeatedly it is up to Bush and Republicans to line up the votes needed to advance the measure if it is to be brought back to the Senate for debate. Reid, who has expressed misgivings about elements of the bill, sidetracked it last week after supporters gained only 45 of the 60 votes needed.
Republicans accounted for only seven of the 45 votes, and Reid said earlier this week, “We’ll move on to immigration when they have their own act together.”
Bush’s decision to personally announce support for the accelerated funding reflected concerns expressed by Republican senators at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. Several told him their constituents doubted the government was capable of following through on a commitment to enforce immigration laws.
In a letter sent to Bush before the meeting, Georgia Republican Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson wrote,
“This lack of trust is rooted in the mistakes made in 1986, and the continued chaos surrounding our immigration laws. Understandably, the lack of credibility the federal government has on this issue gives merit to the skepticism of many about future immigration reform.”
Under the legislation as drafted, money for border enforcement would be collected gradually as illegal immigrants pay the fines and fees needed to achieve legal status. The letter asked Bush to secure the border before other elements of the immigration measure go into effect, and the president agreed in his remarks to the Associated Builders and Contractors.
“One common concern is whether the government will provide the resources to meet the goals in the bill. They say, `It’s fine to talk about it, are you actually going to do something?'” he said.
“To answer these concerns I support an amendment that will provide $4.4 billion in immediate additional funding for securing our borders and enforcing our laws at the work site,” he said.
“By matching our benchmarks with these critical funds, we’re going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept.”
Two Republican supporters of the legislation, Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jon Kyl of Arizona, had previously proposed advanced funding.
“The moment the presidential signing pen meets the paper these funds will be available,” Graham said in a statement welcoming Bush’s remarks.
But Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., an opponent of the legislation, took a different view. “I appreciate the effort to fund border security, but there’s simply no reason why we should be forced to tie amnesty to it. If the administration was serious about fulfilling the border security promises, then this funding should have been supported all along, not offered at the last minute to attract votes to a bad bill.”
Even a decision to return the bill to the Senate floor does not guarantee its passage, given the intense opposition. “We’ve got people out there on both sides really ready to burn the place down,” said Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, the second-ranking Republican. “I don’t think we ought to let that happen.”
The calendar, too, presents obstacles to any attempt to pass the measure before the Senate begins a scheduled vacation in two weeks. Should they choose, critics of the immigration measure could slow progress on other measures Reid wants debated in the next two weeks. The effect would be to further reduce prospects for passage of the immigration bill.
Wild Thing’s comment……….
If we thought if was over, it only just began. This is the height of arrogance! They’ve basically declared war on the electorate. They do so at their own peril…..they have already been warned there will be political consequences for their actions.
When this ends and I hope it does in doing the right thing, we are going to find out one way or the other which of these Senators cares for the American People and who cares for violating American Laws.
Even a decision to return the bill to the Senate floor does not guarantee its passage, given the intense opposition. “We’ve got people out there on both sides really ready to burn the place down,” said Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, the second-ranking Republican. “I don’t think we ought to let that happen.”
Gee whiz Senator Lott why bring back the bill then? He hears the people telling him that he ought not sell our country down the river but proceeds full steam ahead. Sh*t happens Senator Lott and I hope you get your fair share of it.
Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity
Precise details…were not disclosed.
The officials who described the emerging plan did so on condition of anonymity, saying the negotiations had been conducted in private.
Who the hell do these senators think they are?,on both sides of the aisle.
“Precise details to be presented to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were not disclosed.”
The “details” are obvious. Republicans can present 10 amendments that Kennedy knows will be voted down. Dummies can present 10 amendments, pre-approved by Kennedy, that will all get majority approval.
Then, both sides will agree that the process was fair and the bill should get an up or down vote.
Sure looks fair to Kennedy!
But Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., an opponent of the legislation, took a different view. “I appreciate the effort to fund border security, but there’s simply no reason why we should be forced to tie amnesty to it. If the administration was serious about fulfilling the border security promises, then this funding should have been supported all along, not offered at the last minute to attract votes to a bad bill.”
Thank you, Sen. DeMint, for declaring what thinking citizens everywhere know.
The elitists in Washington believe we’re going to swallow this last-ditch attempt to force shamnesty down our throats. They really have contempt for us.

Dueling RINOs Alert
McCain Criticizes Romney’s Abortion Record
WASHINGTON
Fox News
Republican John McCain’s campaign criticized rival Mitt Romney’s abortion record anew Wednesday, circulating a video showing the then-Massachusetts governor reiterating his vow to uphold the state’s abortion-rights laws.
“I have indicated that as governor, I am absolutely committed to my promise to maintain the status quo with regards to laws relating to abortion and choice, and so far I’ve been able to successfully do that,” Romney says, answering a question at a May 27, 2005, news conference the day he vetoed the state’s stem cell legislation.
He adds: “My personal, philosophical views about this issue are not something that I think would do anything other than distract from what I think is a more critical agenda” that includes jobs, education and health care.
As a GOP governor of a liberal state, Romney repeatedly vowed not to change state abortion laws. He supported abortion rights as recently as two-and-a-half years ago, even though he insists he has always personally opposed the practice.
