I pour my heart and soul out to you this morning. I left out H1N1, Carbon Taxation, how I was wrong and Ron Paul was right and some other details (to save time), but the essence of the whole is intact. I hope the next 30 minutes will provide you some insight into what drives me as an American today compared to what drove me years ago. Most of all, I hope it fires you up.
The Republic is not yet lost, America, but if we all just sit by and watch silently, it won’t be much longer before we have only ourselves to blame as the Nation dissolves into poverty and feudalism.

It was only a matter of time before the illegals posed an even greater threat to American lives. So much for all the hand-holding and coddling of the impoverished Mexican masses. Look where it is leading us. Close the damn borders already! What is it going to take? I’m calling my own Representatives right now and reading a bit of the riot act. I’m sitting in the cross-hairs down here in Texas and it’s not a good feeling, so I feel it’s my duty to share that “feeling” with members of Congress.
I do not expect anything to stop terrorism in the United States or around the world as long as fear is turned into massive profit.
We can “bailout” mega-corporations like Citicorp — which also happens to have at least 9% of its holdings owned by Arab-Muslim investors — with trillions of dollars in Unconstitutional tax money collected from the American People, but we can’t build a wall for a mere fraction of this cost to keep the invaders from Mexico out of our Nation.
When corporate greed goes too far (hat-tip: Glugzy):
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden’s Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.
The billboard ad has the slogan “In an Absolut World” slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year.
I was just brewing my coffee and decided to turn on FOX & Friends. Geraldo Rivera was on promoting his new book. Then the talk turned quickly to immigration. I couldn’t help but notice that, as has become all too-frequent, the phrase “illegal immigration” was not in use. Disturbing.
More disturbing though was the attitude of Geraldo Rivera, an attitude that I have witnessed several times on his part in recent memory. Geraldo, obviously an Hispanic-American, says that most Americans are “overreacting” to the “immigration problem.” This irritates me to no end. Overreacting? Geraldo you should be careful — your cultural-bias is showing like an old lady’s slip.
Michelle Malkin has the inside scoop from on the Hill about this damn amnesty bill that won’t die: Update- Senators to Bush: Enforce the laws first
President Bush puts more energy into opening the floodgates to Mexico than he does into securing the United States against illegal immigrants and Islamists. I strongly suggest you back off, Mr. Bush, and do something about the border problems — for real this time — and then come back to Congress after the break with something that actually addresses the very dire concerns of us, the legal citizens of the United States. Or don’t we count anymore, George? Or should I say, we won’t count if another 40 million Mexicans (and other foreigners) swarm across the border in the next five years as a result of amnesty giving the green light means “GO!” signal?
Cliff Kincaid of the AIM Report (hat-tip: Sheila) makes some extremely good points about President Bush’s recent trip to Albania (70% Muslim) and the mess his presidency is making of our fight on “terrorism” by constantly appeasing Muslims, granting them new states, contracts and treaties and ignoring their growth influx right here in the USA. His policies on Mexico are even worse. It all reminds me once again why the 2008 elections can’t come soon enough:
Dismembering Serbia
I have known for quite some time now that the border problems with Mexico are far worse than just an illegal Hispanic immigration. Orchard picking is not a threat, but the hidden cells of Al-Qaeda that come in with the workers is something else altogether. Recently, the FBI finally declared pointedly before Congress that this influx of terrorists has been going on. From an AP report:
WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Tuesday that people from countries with ties to al-Qaida have crossed into the United States from Mexico, using false identities.
This might sound like science-fiction, but considering how the United States has neglected its borders over the past century, it’s probably about time that we started pulling out the stops. From Wired News:
The border patrol has decided to go nuclear against those who want to sneak barrels of mustard gas, bales of marijuana or bundles of bucks into the country.
Starting early next week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, agents will start testing a nuclear scanning device, called a Pulsed Fast Neutron Analysis system (PDF), that will show a border agent the molecular construction of all materials in an 18-wheeler without the agent having to open the truck
For the longest time now, most of us who are realists have understood that the borders of the United States are inadequately protected. So, this report is not a surprise, but it is infuriating none-the-less.
From the Telegraph with thanks to Jihad Watch:
President Bush has launched a drive to halt illegal immigration across America’s porous southern border, amid growing fears that terrorists may be using Mexico as a base camp before heading to Arizona, Texas and California.
End the long overdue sweeps for aliens in the United States? Let’s hope not: the only people this should make nervous are criminals. Our borders need securing and the petty fears of a few people should not constitute a reason to endanger millions of American lives and to further burden our already war taxed economy.
FOX News has the following story:
LOS ANGELES - For years, border patrol agents in Southern California have done just that - patrol the U.S. border with Mexico and highway checkpoints, arresting illegal immigrants only near the border.
