Pelosi & Murtha Lead Islamic Counterattack Against Surge

Undoubtedly stung by reports in their "own" media that the Surge is working, the Islamic Fascist Killers have sent Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha out on a counterattack in an effort to erase any gains by the US military or the GOP in their battle against Muslim Extremists. Their determination to bring defeat to our nation will see another round of legislative and budgetary attempts at destroying our effort in Iraq. The Washington Times reports:

Mr. Murtha plans to offer three amendments to the fiscal 2008 defense appropriations bill: One would set a 60-day timeline to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq (which will certainly help al Qaeda and the like in planning the Rwanda-ization of the country). A second Murtha amendment would implement the Pennsylvania Democrat's "slow-bleed" strategy for ensuring a U.S. military defeat by conditioning funds for the war upon the military meeting some unattainable standards for training and equipping the troops. Should the administrate violate the strictures in an effort to reinforce besieged American soldiers or prevent genocide, we have no doubt that if the Democrats are still in the majority that they will be holding oversight hearings and issuing subpoenas to U.S. military commanders and senior Pentagon officials, summoning them to testify about "why they broke the law" by sending these soldiers to the battlefield. Mr. Murtha's third amendment would close the Guantanamo Bay facility.

Where will Mr Murtha send all the terrorist killers he releases from Guantanamo? So far, he isn't saying. Nancy weighs in also:

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has made it clear that plans to use the $459.6 billion defense appropriations bill, which comes to the floor this week, to short-circuit the current military campaign against jihadists in Iraq and shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo).

So I ask Republican voters. Do you plan to elect congresspeople and a president to office that will reach across the aisle to help these people, or shall we try and elect conservatives who will defeat their plans to destroy our nation through recklessness, political naivete and ignorance?

CNN Thinks We Wouldn't Ask The GOP Tough Questions

Should the GOP continue to attempt reaching citizens through the mechanism of a Media biased towards the Republican Party's opponents? This debate is going on at Hugh Hewitts' blog, Heartland Patriot, The Way We Are, and numereous other blogs, and the issue boils down to this.

Can the GOP get a fair shake from the Mainstream Media?

My answer, NO.

Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Katie Couric....name any of them, and they show a record of being anti GOP. The Right cannot win engaging the Left or it's media organ. Add to that the Left's refusal to engage conservative voters by appearing on FOX News, then you have an unfair advantage.

Captains Quarters offered several compromise situations, such as letting the blog world supporting each respective party pick the questions. What did CNN have to say about that?
Allah says that CNN wouldn't believe that Republican bloggers would allow tough questions -- but even a cursory read around the blogosphere should be instructive to that point. We spend a lot of our effort ripping the existing candidates on various policies, and I don't think we'd see a lot of softballs, at least not in a primary debate.
I won't accept the premise that debating on a MSM outlet would be fair to the GOP. It's time they called out the MSM as an enemy, and drew a line in the sand. Shift the debate to the "fairness" of the Enemedia. That would be an interesting national conversation.

Here I Go Again, Bashing "Our" Side

The Non-Ideologues and Conservatives In Name Only get after myself and others here at Townhall and across the web who find fault with the GOP. It seems we are disloyal. I won't argue that premise here and now. I will simply state that the Republican Party owes Alberto Gonzales an apology. I emailed & phoned my protests to Bill Frist with great gusto when it was announced he was intending to make Arlen Specter the head of the judiciary committee. Arlen Specter is a disgrace to the Republican party, a Liberal on the level of George Voinovich, yet much, much more dangerous.

And his involvement in the witch hunt for Gonzalez is disgusting. I don't know who's side he really is on, but it certainly is not mine. To make this matter clear, I'll point to a Powerline post analysis of the New York Times story, detailing how Gonzales is telling the truth. And it's killing them to say so.

http://powerlineblog.com/archives/018389.php

And yet if this is not enough, Mr Specter is engaged in the truly bizarre effort to "grade" the new Supreme Court judges. The Wall Street Journal Online states:


On Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican announced his plans to "review" the confirmation hearing testimony of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito to see how it matches their decisions on the bench. "There are things he has said, and I want to see how well he has complied with it," Senator Specter said of the Chief Justice, according to The Politico Web site.


They must be falling over at the American Bar Association. It's widely agreed that it would be unseemly and improper for a nominee to seek confirmation to the nation's highest Court by promising Senators how he or she would rule on a given issue on the bench. Yet Mr. Specter's statement suggests that he thinks he pocketed such promises from Justices Alito and Roberts, and he now wants to check to see if they've been kept.


Only a few years ago, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay floated the impeachment idea for judges who weren't on "good behavior," and the Democratic outrage was thunderous. Former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor responded with a speech about the importance of judicial independence.



What is wrong with the GOP? This guy has got to go, he's damaged goods and a threat to our nation. Arlen Specter must be removed at the next possible opportunity. Let's hope conservatism really does have a resurgence in the GOP. Until they purge the party of Liberals and the appeasers who keep them in office, they're going to have an uphill battle getting the votes from the rest of America.

No Edwards, You Want To Shut US up!

John Edwards is shouting out, "they want to shut me up". The Politco reports:
He warns, in the video segment posted by his campaign, that if we don't beat back these unnamed oligarchs, "They're going to control the media. They're going to control what's being said."
Once again, wearily, I sigh and wish the great sleeping moderate middle of America would wake up and smell the coffee. The Progressive Liberals want to control thought and actions of everybody. As reported in the AP:

MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and liberal blogs like DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is advertising on the (FOX NEWS) network. Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.

The groups have successfully pressured Democratic presidential candidates not to appear at any debate sponsored by Fox, and are also trying to get Home Depot Inc. to stop advertising there.

At least 5,000 people nationwide have signed up to compile logs on who is running commercials on Fox, Gilliam said. The groups want to first concentrate on businesses running local ads, as opposed to national commercials.

The entire mainstream media, with the exception of FOX NEWS, is blatantly biased towards Liberal Socialist views. But that's not enough. They want control over everything. Perhaps the Right needs to mount a counter campaign at last. No GOP debates on the MSM until there is "fairness" in their news coverage. Conservatives start taking back our culture, and demanding Liberal Bias be purged from Media.


Just what got all these moonbats in a twitter over Fox?
The groups seem particularly angry at Fox's Bill O'Reilly, who has done critical reports on left-wing bloggers. On July 16, O'Reilly said the DailyKos.com Web site is "hate of the worst order," and sent a reporter to question JetBlue Airways Corp. CEO Dave Barger about the airline's sponsorship of a gathering run by DailyKos.
O'Reilly is an opinion show, and he's entitled to his. I don't always agree with him or his manner, but it's a free market and I've got the choice to change the channel. It's time I started emailing and calling the Broadcast Networks and demanded they start informing the general public of exactly what message is being sent by DailyKos. Are you aware? Can you say, V-I-L-E-H-A-T-R-E-D?

It's not a wonderful day in the neighborhood when we all won't play nice in the sandbox. It is time for all Americans to be aware of exactly what message the far Left and DailyKos have for them.

Maybe the Republican Party can see the wisdom in that. After all, they supposedly are coming around to conservatism again. How about it guys, game on? Or will you just continue to sit and take it, as usual?

Is Bush Letting the Horse Out of the Barn?

This modern world we live in is one filled with fears not unlike the 50's in America. Will we be attacked with nuclear weapons? The Bush administration has been battling with North Korea to curtail it's nuclear program, and of course, Iran makes statements daily of it's intention to use nuclear energy peacefully, and to wipe Israel off the map and burn the rest of it's enemies. The rationale is that America has no authority to decide who gets nukes and who doesn't. There is a good argument for non proliferation of existence ending weapons however.

And yet, today, the Bush administration is attempting to make an exception for India. The New York Times reports:
Three years after President Bush urged global rules to stop additional nations from making nuclear fuel, the White House will announce on Friday that it is carving out an exception for India, in a last-ditch effort to seal a civilian nuclear deal between the countries.....Mr. Bush could be setting a precedent that will undercut his nonproliferation initiative.
Or perhaps, India doesn't really need our help to acquire the means for nuclear technology. And perhaps engaging with them in this way will lead to stronger ties economically and security wise. This deal is being critcized by the Democrats. That says volumes to me. And it doesn't hurt to know this. The Asia Times noted:
India's importation of military hardware and software will reach $30 billion within the next five years, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry said recently.
Smell a sale somewhere? Friends are good to have these days. Especially when they are trading partners too. This deal is filled with warnings though. How well will the US be able to navigate through the waters of picking and choosing who gets nukes? For example, the UPI reports:
Despite boasting Africa`s largest oil reserves, Nigerian President Umaru Musa Yar`Adua thinks his country should be looking to other forms of power, including nuclear energy. The new Nigerian leader who came into office in late May has called for the country to 'develop the capacity to utilize nuclear power for power generation' in hopes of one day alleviating Nigeria`s chronic shortfalls in electricity production.
This is a lot to consider. We live in a very dangerous world.

New Media Wins Again

Last week, we heard that the John Doe amendment was dead, killed by the Liberals who thought it was racist and gave unwarranted attention to the war on terror. Then Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and this blog, among others,  asked you all to call the capital. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi told the anti America cabal populated with people like Carl Levin, that they lost. The capital was flooded with phone calls, and the John Doe amendment, backed by Peter King and Joe Lieberman, is passing. In a statement, the Center for Security Policy noted:
The language will provide protection against the sorts of harassment lawsuits filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) after several unidentified individuals reported six Muslim imams engaged in suspicious – and frightening – behavior prior to boarding a USAir flight in November 2006. CAIR has been identified as a front organization for the Muslim Brotherhood and is an un-indicted co-conspirator in an alleged terrorism-financing plot.
And from Congressman Steve Pearce:
“I am pleased to see that the pressure we created lead Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid to make the right decision about protecting alert Americans,” said Pearce. “The American people shouldn’t have to think twice about alerting security and law enforcement to potential terrorist attacks.”
Americans can now report suspicious behavior without fear of being sued by Islamic Jihadist Killers, and the Democratic Party. We won.

Feel free to criticize "our side" over any issue, because principles do matter, and actions speak louder than words. The amnesty bill, the 2nd amendment attack by OSHA, and now the John Doe amendments have been championed by people of principle, and they have prevailed.

Go ahead, you can feel good about America today. This one's on Peter King. As for tomorrow, where's the fence?

What's Wrong With Socialism?

A straight faced and very serious question asked of me by a former co-worker in Michigan. Discussing politics, he reads the New York Times and Truth Out, he couldn't understand my problem with taking from the rich and giving to the poor, for starters. Well I'm won't go into the philosophies at this point or talk about Fredric Bastiat. I'll just point to another Liberal dream Socialist State. Great Britain. The Sun Online reports:
Drunken yobs are roaming towns and cities like ''an occupying army'', MPs claimed yesterday. But ministers have no idea whether the £3.4billion a year spent tackling yobs is effective. Anti-social behaviour is turning many places into no-go areas, with a small number of families causing ''misery and despair'' to their communities....The MPs also urged the Home Office to develop a national scheme for evaluating different approaches to anti-social behaviour.
Good example in a nutshell. Liberal Socialists solve problems by spending money, making study groups and wringing their hands trying to understand the criminals better. While the criminals laugh and continue to run amok. Like in Paris. Hmmm.....I wonder at the indentity of these "mobs".....dissaffected youth? Hmmmm......

Anyways, until the Brits start busting the noggins of criminals, nothing will change. Just like Paris. Just like New York. Oh...wait a minute, somebody fixed that. Go figure. Well there's always Bejing, wait, no.....

Kyl Continues To Lead, Where's the Others?

John Kyl lead the fight against the amnesty bill, in the face of the GOP establishment. I'm sure he'll get a Christmas card from Trent Lott and John McCain. In a Washington Times article S.A. Miller writes:

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, is meeting with members yesterday and today to disseminate a message critical of Democrats for endlessly debating the Iraq war, stalling judicial nominations and squandering time on at least 300 investigations of the Bush administration.

This is what the rightwing blogosphere has been saying for a while now. Take the offensive. Talking points are one thing though, how about something a little tougher. Motions to Censure Murtha, Reid, Pelosi. How about some GOP sponsored resolutions that call for the Democrats to resign because of incompetence? How about asking Obama to apologize for and disavow his racist church of choice? How about asking for Democratic candidates to vow to stop using private jets for the rest of the campaign, and for John Edwards to donate all the money he earns speaking about poverty?

How about THE FENCE?

Kyl has done a good job for us, but the GOP has got to get in step with conservatism if it wants to win in 2008. And if it loses, there is every chance it may start the end of the GOP's existence.

We need more than Kyl and McConnell and Peter King. How about the White House taking the attack? Just wondering.

The Empire Strikes Back

When the GOP establishment works with the Democrats, it is truly a remarkable day. And when their combined forces are defeated by a populist uprising, that is even more remarkable. But they didn't become the establishment by being weak or easily defeated. So it comes as no surprise that the battle for amnesty for millions of illegal aliens who stand to be a huge voting bloc for the Left, and a huge pool of cheap labor for the Right is far from over. The attack dogs for the amnesty movement, LaRaza is speaking out against conservative Talk Radio. In the Washington Times we hear:
The nation's largest Hispanic advocacy group says it must come up with a strategy to combat "a wave of hate" its leaders say came from talk radio's efforts to sink the Senate's immigration bill."That had an extraordinary impact in the Senate, and as a nation, I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate," Cecilia Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's senior vice president for research, advocacy and legislation, told The Washington Times after meeting with NCLR affiliates to talk about a new strategy.
They want free stuff with no responsibility, and they want in NOW. And if you say that our laws should be obeyed and respected, even the non ideologicals at Townhall will pull the race and class envy card on you.

So to repeat for all you non ideologues and progressives out there, we the Right embrace immigration and like Hispanic people. We hate law breakers and demand sovereign borders.

So....where's the fence Washington?

Liberals To Give MiddleEast to China?

In every statement, every action, it's clear to all that the Democrats want as little to do with the Middle East as possible. To surrender to Islamic Jihadists, as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and John Edwards would certainly do, may not have the effect these mental midgets think. 
Today China is waging a propaganda and security battle to guarantee its control over Xinjiang, its name for the vast province rich in minerals and strategic supplies of oil and gas which are vital to the expanding Chinese economy.

China has persuaded Pakistan and Kazakhstan to hand over captured (Islamic) militants for interrogation, secret trials and execution, a policy that may have fuelled the fundamentalist rage now gripping Pakistan.

Next month 1,600 Chinese troops will join exercises with Russia and the former Soviet Central Asian republics to cooperate against Islamic extremists.

If there is a power vacuum in the ME because the Liberals withdraw, creating chaos in the resource rich region, what do you think China would do? And also, how do you think China is dealing with the domestic threat of Islamists in their country. How well do you think CAIR would do there? Well, Sheridan reports:

A red banner hung from the eaves of a 100-year-old mosque, whose lines recalled a classical Chinese temple and whose congregation were members of the Hui, a Muslim minority from central China. “All pilgrimages to Mecca must be organised by the National Islamic Organisation under the law,” it read.

“They have taken all our passports too,” said an elder at the mosque.

“We Muslims must follow the party and the government to make our prayers in a stable setting and under a correct policy,” the imam warned his flock at Friday prayers.

Would rounding up Muslims be effective in the US also? Not if we want to remain a free Republic. But the lesson is there, you must be honest about who your enemies are, and not be afraid to confront and defeat them, if it means your survival.

We need a new national discussion about the threat Islam poses to our continued existence. An honest discussion, preferably without the moonbats.

Dems Allow Terrorists To Sue Citizens?

The astounding Democratic Congress has decided to allow terrorists to file lawsuits against US citizens for speaking up and reporting them to the authorities. This on the same day they've decided to stop paying the armed forces, to force them to leave Iraq.

If there has ever been a reason to call the capital, this is it.

Congress switchboard: 202-224-3121

Nancy Pelosi’s office: 202-225-4965

Reid’s office: 202-224-3542

As reported by Michelle Malkin, The John Doe amendment, otherwise known as the King amendment, which would protect you and I from being sued by anyone you think needs to be reported to the police, has been stripped out of legislation by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to appease CAIR, who are suing the passengers in Minneapolis who reported the Mullahs onboard acting threateningly.

The Democrats are lunatics who'll use any political tactic even at expense of civilian or military lives. As Frank Gaffney said:
This legislation is the so-called “King amendment,” which is designed to ensure that public-spirited citizens are not discouraged, let alone penalized, for doing their civic duty by informing the authorities of activities that could be associated with terrorism.

As the brilliant former counterterrorism prosecutor and legal analyst Andy McCarthy observes in a posting on National Review Online today, the King amendment’s opponents in the congressional leadership understand that the overwhelming, bipartisan support for this legislation in the House and Senate leave them few options.

In fact, as a practical matter, the only way they could dispose of a provision which was initiated by the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Pete King of New York, after the insidious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) brought suit against several “John Does” and adopted by the House of Representatives by a vote of 304-121 would be to snuff it in a conference committee.
The Libs got their politically correct way, this time, but anybody who looks at the situation rationally has got to come to the same conclusion. The Democrats have gone insane. We've got to get them out of power, somehow, or we're gonna get hit. Cheney will be President for a short time, UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!!!

Why Do Democrats Hate Our Country?

Working tirelessly, the Democratic Party is engaged with a willing Mainstream Media to defeat our nation and send it into a spiral of dissolution and dispair. Why do they hate this land? In just one day, here are the media's distorted proclamations attempting to shape mindless masses.

Liberals Vow to Block Continued Iraq Funding : The Politico

"The point is there is no military victory here," former President Bill Clinton told Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Good Morning America,
They are desperate for us to lose.The Pentagon finally has had enough, and did what the White House has been unwilling to do. Call the Clintons out. Directly. For all of us to hear.
The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda.

"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote.

He added that "such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks."

The Democratic  position makes no rational or logical sense to me. Their dream utopia of a Socialist States of America with it's bumper sticker slogan of "Free Stuff With No Responsibility" is a veiled nightmare state of slavery of the individual. But our attempt to WIN against the Islamic Jihadist Killers in Iraq are also the front lines against the Progresive Democrats. We beat the terrorists, we beat the Democrats and the Media at the same time. Game over. But is Iraq a Vietnam? Gen. David Petreaus talked to Hugh Hewitt:
HH: Some of the arguments about Iraq in the United States argue that it’s
possible for American troops to withdraw to their bases and just strike at
al Qaeda, sort of an Anbar only option, I guess. Does that make any sense to
you at all, General Petraeus?

DP: Well, first of all, al Qaeda-Iraq is throughout pretty substantial parts
of Iraq, and it is a significant enough network in capability that it is not
going to be dealt with just by certainly, if you will, classical
counterterrorist operations. Indeed, we are doing those. Our best operators
in America and in the world are here in the largest number of anywhere in
the world by several multiples, and conducting a very, very high operational
tempo, and doing extraordinary operations. When I think back to the
operations that we did, for example, going after war criminals in Bosnia, or
something like that, you know, and one of those would be a big deal, and
you’d dine off that for the next several months. On a nightly basis here,
you know, ten or twelve serious operations are going down by those forces.


HH: Wow.


DP: And any one of those is far more significant than we conducted for
decades
. They are very sophisticated, very complex, very lethal sometimes,
and very effective. Having said that, although they may be the most
important operations, because they can take down, as they did the senior
Iraqi leader in al Qaeda-Iraq
, or kill the three al Turkey brothers, or what
have you, it is also the weight of the operations conducted by the, if you
will, the regular special forces, the Green Berets and the others that make
up the special operations task force, and operate throughout the country as
a very high operational tempo, and of our conventional forces. I mean, it is
conventional forces who cleared Western Baquba. Certainly, augmented by,
again, our special forces and our special mission unit elements, but they’re
the ones that, you know, killed the 80 or 90 confirmed kill, and perhaps
another 80 or so more, and captured a couple of hundred in addition to that
as well. And they’re the ones who will hold that area against attempts that
have already taken place by al Qaeda and their affiliates to try to get back
into those neighborhoods.

This is no Iraq falling apart. This is no Tet offensive. This is the United States Military and the Iraqi Army picking up momentum and starting to kick ash. I'm thinking we here need to do more of our part to battle the domestic enemies, who'd undo every single thing these men and women are willing to do for us overseas. What say you?

Are You An Independent Moderate?

The following is an updated revised version of the first post from a conservative in Cincinnati. It still feels relevant to me, so I'm going to share it with you again.

Our's is a Republic is sustained by the will of the people. Not all, but a large percentage of current voters who call themselves Independents belong to the Great Dumbed Down Moderate Middle, incapable of forming a sophisticated opinion on politics or even world events, beyond repeating a one or two sentence sound bite they've heard drilled into their brain by the Mainsteam Media. Worse, many voters can't even tell you the name of the current Secretary of State, or even the Vice President. The privilege to vote is being taken too lightly by a too large number of us, and this is in danger of being even further amplified by an increasing sentiment to abolish the Electoral College. When it comes to the matters that affect our livelihoods, or even the future existence of our country, I believe it to be the duty, owed to the millions who have given their lives for us, for each voting citizen to understand exactly what they are voting for.

Put differently, grow a spine, and believe in something. Communists believe in taking from the haves and giving to the have nots, charity at the point of a gun held by the state. Capitalists believe in the market, each deserving what he receives for any goods or services he provides a willing buyer. In the middle are those who don't have any clear idea of what they believe, and who are swayed daily by an onslaught of words and images couched in popular cultural formats, each carrying a subtle ideological message.

To those of you who feel Moderate, wake up. Take control of your life, get your information from multiple sources, not just NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, NPR, and the NYTimes. Think about the sources giving you this info and their agenda. Come to your own conclusions about the facts of daily life, don't let the MSM tell you how to feel. Stand for something, no matter what, for reasons you can intelligently explain, based on facts and reason. You owe a lot of dead patriots this responsibility. If you can't, then shut up and get out of the way. The rest of us intend to move in a positive direction with thoughtfulness, appreciation and a sense of responsibility for the gift of liberty we've inherited.

Liberals Attempt End Run For Illegals

The New Media has caught Dick Durbin attempting to do what the Establishment couldn't with it's attempt at amnesty for Illegal Aliens that was soundly defeated by we the people. Michelle Malkin, in "What's Dick Durbin Up To?"  called our attention to Durbin in her column yesterday, pointing out that he:
will stick the DREAM Act into the House Defense Bill HR1585. The DREAM Act, which would allow illegal alien students to get special in-state college tuition discounts not available to native-born and naturalized American students, has been resurrected by the Dems. You’ll remember it was a piece of the failed shamnesty bill in the Senate. As I noted during the debate, the Dream Act would repeal a clearly worded provision in the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) that states:

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.

Durbin’s amendment would also welcome large numbers of illegal aliens into the military (you know, in addition to those the Pentagon has already allowed in).D
So, we must contact our Representatives and demand this provision be deleted from the bill. This is no small deal. This is incrementalism, the Libs using every sneaky method they can, to open the borders, and gain a voting bloc to control America with. You can stop this. You've stopped the amnesty bill, AND you've stopped OSHA from making inroads fowards taking away your 2nd amendment rights. The uproar over the OSHA rules ended up in the policy being reversed. See it here: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=3162

The New Media is making a difference.
Make the effort, make the call, write the email, stop the Progressive Liberal attempt to conquer America.
