Rebates For Illegals?

Here's some salt to pour in the wounds. Our brilliant, dedicated and patriotic lawmakers have passed a rebate bill in the House that would enable illegals to receive checks from the government.

The bill does make "non resident aliens," or illegals, ineligible for the tax rebates. But hundreds of thousands of illegals use individual taxpayer identification numbers to file income tax returns with the IRS. These ID numbers are used instead of Social Security numbers.

A spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) points out that illegals are ineligible for any rebates and are committing tax fraud if they fraudulently obtain taxpayer ID numbers to file tax returns. Well, there you have it. Those who have broken our laws by coming here are going to suddenly be deterred from committing tax fraud because of the law. Not bloody likely.

Once again it is proven that our nation is being run by apathetic, inept asses. And we now have three of them running for chief idiot.

The Fat Lady Is Warming Up

Rudy Giuliani is reportedly ready to drop from the GOP race and and endorse John McCain. I was never able to get excited about Rudy and now I can see why. Obviously, you can only support McCain if you are in favor of amnesty and rewarding millions of illegals who have broken our nation's laws.

It is now looking as if the only candidates up for election will be those who support giving away American citizenship as if it had the value of a crackerjack box surprise. When those who have managed to devalue our dollar, our culture and our educational system, have accomplished the same with our citizenship, the selling out of America will be almost complete.

UPDATE: Rumor has it little Johnny Edwards will also be throwing in the towel. The fat lady's footsteps can now be heard approaching the stage.

Juarez, Mexico's Showpiece

From the El Paso Times comes word that that Fort Bliss has declared Juarez, Mexico off limits to US military personnel. It seems the city's drug-related violence is so bad it poses an unacceptable risk.

Meanwhile, Thomason Hospital in El Paso remained under a lockdown as armed deputies from El Paso County Sheriff's Office continued to guard Chihuahua Police Commander Fernando Lozano Sandoval, who is recovering from an assassination attempt on his life in Juárez. The commander a U.S. citizen, has dual nationality so we get to take care of him even though he was injured while working for the Mexican government. I wonder if Mexico will be paying for his security and the inconvenience of the other patients. Don't count on it.

Why do we allow dual citizenship? Either you should be American or something else, not both.

As usual, America gets stuck with Mexico's problems. The liberals would have us believe it's all worth it to keep the cost of lettuce at a reasonable price.

Integrity Still A Mystery To The Clintons

Hillary is displaying the infamous Clinton lack of integrity down in Florida. After that state moved its primary up to play a bigger role in choosing the presidential nominees, the Democratic National Committee said it would refuse to seat the state's delegation at the national convention. Although Democratic presidential candidates largely have followed the party's request that they not campaign publicly in Florida, Clinton said it's time to pay attention to voters. Of course it is, she just took a drubbing in South Carolina, so now it's time to deflect attention away from there.

"I will try to persuade my delegates to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida," said Clinton. "Democrats have to win Michigan and have to try to win Florida and I intend to do that. The people of Florida deserve to be represented in the process of picking a candidate for president of the United States."

As usual, breaking the rules or the law is of little consequence to a Clinton. The end always justifies the means. Some things never change.

Barack Buries Bubba

Well, Barack really ran away with South Carolina, getting near landslide numbers from black voters. I wish Obama well against Hillary, but it seems like he was running against Bubba in South Carolina. Bill failed to deliver for Hillary,

Now, will Johnny Edwards please go away? When you come in third in your own neighborhood, that should be a clue what your chances are nationwide.

So, we're off to Florida, where things should become even more interesting. Stay tuned!

Hillary And Mac Sittin' In A Tree

There's little difference between Shrillary and McPain, just ask Slick Willie. "She and John McCain are very close," Bubba said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."

Two untrustworthy candidates with notorious bad tempers, that's what the New York Times would like this election to be all about. No matter who wins, the left is happy.

I would rather see Obama and Romney fight it out. I do know this, I will never vote for John McCain. He betrayed me when he was my senator and I do not want to give him the opportunity to do it as my president.

Sometimes Justice Happens

Here's a piece to get your day off to a bright start:

In Afghanistan, a suicide bomber fell down a flight of stairs and blew himself up as he headed out on his mission. The terrorist tripped as he was leaving a building to go to an opening ceremony at a mosque that was expected to be attended by Afghan and international military officials. Coming down the stairs, he fell down and exploded.

It was the second such incident in two days, with another man killing himself and three others when his bomb-filled waistcoat exploded as he was putting it on.

Rest in pieces!

Why We Need Another American Revolution

Here's our representatives' idea of what's a fair tax rebate!

People who did not pay federal income taxes but who had earned income of more than $3,000 would get checks of $300 per individual or $600 per couple. If you didn't pay and you get money it is not a rebate!!! It is welfare!!! Thanks, Democrats, for making sure that society's economic vampires don't have to work for their blood.

You will get $600 per individual and $1,200 per couple. For a child you may get $300. So, if you are two adults without children you will get $1,200 while a single parent with one child to support may get $900. Does anyone besides me see a problem with that? I am a widower with one child in high school and a nineteen year old in college. I bet the anchor baby illegals walk away better off than me.

How about these idiots we put in office relinquish their salaries until the economic crisis they are responsible for goes away? Would that be fair? Hell, yes! Let Bush, Cheney and every elected member of Congress not receive a dime from the taxpayers until this crisis is over and let them pay personally for every expense they incur. Until that happens, I will not spend a dime of this money and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Corrupt Cop Convicted

Carlos Landin Martinez was convicted Wednesday of nine counts of drug trafficking, money laundering and conspiracy. He is the retired commander of the state police in Tamaulipas, Mexico. He was also the number two drug Gulf Cartel leader in the Mexican city of Reynosa.

According to this Newsmax article, from 2005 to 2007, smugglers who wanted to move drugs across the border around Reynosa had to pay Landin a "piso," or tax. He was recognized by a DEA agent in a supermarket in McAllen, Texas last year and that led to his apprehension.

Here's just another example of the culture of corruption in Mexico. If this dirtbag didn't decide to go shopping in the USA, he'd still be free as a bird south of the border.

That's All, No Wall

Masked gunmen, a fixture in the Palestinian way of life, used explosives to destroy almost all of the seven-mile wall dividing the border town of Rafah in Gaza from Egypt. What passes for police, the terrorists in Hamas, directed traffic as the Gazans poured into Egyptian territory. The Egyptians, as usual, did nothing.

Hamas expressed support for the move, saying that, "Blowing up the border wall with Egypt is a reflection of the ... catastrophic situation which the Palestinian people in Gaza are living through due to the blockade." They failed to mention that the blockade is in place because the Palestinians keep firing rockets into Israel.

Hamas will use this as an opportunity to replenish its weapons and ammunition supplies in Gaza, while everyone looks the other way.

That Whining Sound You Hear

This is too much. The Tucson Citizen reports that a delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora, Mexico was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on that Mexican state. And this is our problem how?

They claim they cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools they will face as illegals return to their hometowns without jobs or money. Obviously, no one in Mexico has ever planned to provide their citizens with the means to earn a living, nor do they intend to do so in the future.

"How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales. Why is this foreigner questioning what we do in the United States? Were the roles reversed, they would be screaming bloody murder about American interference in Mexican business.

"Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems," she whined. Well, whose fault is that Leticia? You are part of the Mexican government so just as a wild guess I'd say you share the responsibility and the guilt not the American people. Stop trying to play the victim while blaming others. That's would solve part of your problem.

Hezbollah's Head Hog Or Hog's Head

Is there any lower life form than Hassan Nasrallah? The lead swine in the pig sty of Hezbollah has given a speech in which he said, "We have the heads, the hands, the feet and even a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis. The Israeli army left behind the remains of the bodies of a large number of soldiers."

Words are inadequate to describe such subhuman scum. Some Israeli ministers are calling for his elimination. Personally, I would like to see his turbaned head stuffed with pig entrails and broadcast on Al-Jazeera. We got your body parts, right here.

Border Agent Murdered

A Border Patrol agent trying to stop a vehicle that had illegally entered the U.S. was struck and killed Saturday in southeastern California, agency officials said.

Witnesses told the Yuma Sun newspaper that agents were chasing a Hummer and a Ford pickup on Interstate 8 when the vehicles turned into the dunes and fled toward Mexico. The agent was trying to place spike strips in their path and was struck by the Hummer, they said.

"Mexican authorities are using every means at their disposal to arrest the people responsible" for the slaying, said a statement released Saturday night by Mexico's Foreign Relations department. To see what every means could play into, read my previous post.

Everytime an illegal is injured or looked at crosseyed, the Mexican government goes into its hat dance about abusing the people who are desperate to escape that hell hole. Let's see how angry they get about the murder of an American law enforcement agent.

News?

This is news? Police corruption is widespread in Mexico, particularly in states like Tamaulipas plagued by organized crime. In October, 25 federal police officers were detained in the state on suspicion of providing protection for the Gulf drug cartel.

These are the people who won't extradite if the death penalty is involved. Do you wonder why?

Is it any wonder the citizens of Mexico will do anything to escape?

Here's some more info from the FOXNesw article:

A federal agent and a gunman were killed Thursday in a three-hour fire fight in Tijuana, days after three police officials and one of their wives were shot dead.

An officer filling in for one of the slain officials was kidnapped Saturday night by a group of armed men while he drove his car, Tijuana municipal police said. His family was later brought to a police station for protection.

Vacation, trade, travel in Mexico? I think not.

Not Again

I have been following politics much longer than I care to admit, but this is one of the craziest elections I have ever been priviledged to witness.

Hillary is gloating now, you can see it in her face. Things are going her way. The same is true for McCain.

For a long time, I have deeply dreaded the possibility of a race between them. Heaven help us if either one of these two become president. This country is still paying for the Nixon travesty, we cannot afford another dysfunctional presidency.

When Is A Rebate Not A Rebate?

There's talk of a tax rebate to give the economy a boost. President Bush said any plan should feature "direct and rapid income tax relief" to boost consumer spending. "Letting Americans keep more of their own money should increase consumer spending, and lift our economy at a time when people otherwise might spend less."

A rebate by defintion is the return of part of a payment. Why then are the Democrats looking to give a rebate to people who paid no tax? CNN says, Democrats could get on board with an income tax rebate if it's fully refundable, meaning that everyone with earned income would get the full rebate, even if they didn't make enough money to owe income tax. That is not a rebate, that is robbery.

Why are the Democrats always looking to give money to people who have not earned it at the expense of those who have? I agree with the president on this one, let Americans keep more of their own money, but my money is not yours and yours is not mine. What a concept!

Chris Mathews' Hardball Removed

Chris Matthews said Thursday that he was wrong to say last week that the reason Hillary Clinton is a senator and a candidate for president "is that her husband messed around."

Previously in an interview with The Associated Press he said that his statement was a reference to New York Democrats asking her to run for the Senate when she showed dignity in the face of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He called it an "unexceptional statement."

And, indeed, it was. But, the forces of the pc left could not let go of it. The castration squad went into action. Gloria Steinem and the heads of four prominent women's groups complained in a letter to his boss at MSNBC that Matthews had shown a pattern of sexism. And now, Chris is auditioning for the Vienna Boys' Choir. He'll be singing soprano in his upcoming performances.

The ACLU And Privy Privacy

The ACLU filed a brief yesterday supporting Republican Senator Larry Craig's bathroom antics. It cited a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms "have a reasonable expectation of privacy."

Of course, normal people had a reasonable expectation that the ACLU would take up this case, adding another chapter to their tome of perverse causes.

The reasonable expectation of privacy should cover only those activities that a public toilet is intended to accommodate. Sex is not one of them. We should all have a reasonable expectation when using a public restroom that we or our children will not be subjected to the bizarre noises and actions of rutting animals. Sometimes the noises accompanying the normal use of the facilities are unsettling enough as it is.

Leave it to the ACLU to be at the forefront of toilet related issues.

Is Michigan An Omen For Clinton?

Mitt and Hillary are the winners in Michigan. However, according to CNN, Clinton's victory may be a hollow one.

It seems the Michigan Democrat primary vote was essentially meaningless because the national party stripped the state of its delegates. It held its contest too early in the election season, and Hillary was the only major contender whose name appeared on the ballot. Yet, about 70 percent of Michigan’s black voters did not cast their votes for her, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. However, these voters weren’t uncommitted because according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.

Now, we all know how accurate the polls have been, but I suspect they're right on the money in this latest assessment. What happens next with the black vote, in South Carolina, should tell the whole story.

There Goes The Kennedy Neighborhood

What will Teddy Kennedy do now? A federal agency within the Department of Interior has approved a wind farm in Nantucket Sound.

What's the problem? Well, the supposedly environmentalist Kennedy's have their compound in Hyannis not too far away. They wouldn't actually be able to see the wind turbines, but Robert Kennedy Jr, Mr. Live Earth himself, has complained that the project would be built in one of the family’s favorite sailing and yachting areas. I wonder if that makes him a traitor as he so freely calls those who disagree with him.

This should be interesting since the Kennedy's seem to think they are above the law and the restrictions on the little people. Driving while intoxicated, vehicular manslaughter and rape are all part of their privileged life style. Why should they have to concern themselves with the environment other than telling the rest of us what we must give up.

Let's see if the wind farm comes to pass.
