29 SEP 2008... My Comments on a Few Concerns

- DOW PLUNGES WHEN BAILOUT DEFEATED !
(Drudge Report... 29 SEP 2008)

It looks like Nancy Pelosi overloaded her mouth with a big helping of foot this morning! She gave a great, inspiring speech on the floor of the House which tried to put her version of the Democrat spin in the House record books as the usual "it's all Republicans' fault and we blameless Democrats are here to save you"... it was Bullcrap when she said it, it was Bullcrap when GOP members heard it, and it turned the whole stock market to Bullcrap when GOP members and fairminded Democrats threw the Bailout Bill back in her face. Great Job again Nancy "Miss Not-For-America" Pelosi.

- John McCain Fails To Deliver GOP Votes !
(Daily KOS... 29 SEP 2008)

Since when is it any single Senator's duty to sway all others to vote a certain way... if that was the case, then the great "savior of all saviors" Senator from the (politically and fiscally screwed up) State of Illinois ...(I can say this because I unfortunately live in Illinois---home of Sen. Obama/Gov. Blagojevich/Tony Rezko/Rev. Wright/Bill "bomber" Ayers/Rev. Jackson/etc.)... should have waved his hand over them all and convinced/led them all to see the light of his way! Why no mention of the 90+ Democrats who voted against the Bailout that Barack Obama "Failed To Deliver"???

- More Than 1,100 Arrested In CAL Immigration Sweep
(Breitbart.com... 29 SEP 2008)

It took 3 weeks to round up that many... it is a start... a small start... but a start in the right direction anyway! With an estimated 12,000 - 20,000 illegally crossing our southern States' borders back and forth... DAILY... it's a step on the right road to securing our border. Now go round up another 1,100 in California... and 1,100 in Arizona... and 1,100 in New Mexico... and 1,100 in Texas... and 1,100 in New York... and 1,100 in Illinois... and 1,100 in Florida... and 1,100 in ... (well, you get the picture). Keep up the good work ICE! Make them come here LEGALLY !

- "Low Expectations" Set For Palin
(Politico.com... 29 SEP 2008)

Gov. Mitt Romney feels that the McCain camp is downplaying the Sarah Palin matchup for Thursday night's VP candidates debate. Romney urges the McCain handlers to let her go out to more interviews and just be herself more... if she flubs once in a while then it's not such a big deal... just let her meet the American people. Now he is making sense... Gov. Palin should not worry about how well Sen. Biden does in debates. She needs to just reply to questions using her own words, beliefs, goals and convictions... let America see that she is much more like the tens of thousands of America-loving "middle Americans" than either of the Democratic candidates. Gov. Romney was correct that she should also give more public appearances... BUT... I see no need at all in gracing the studios of such places as CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, the Couric Show, The View, Oprah's Show, Letterman's Show, etc.... those are just Republican-despisers and hatefilled arenas that try to belittle, disrespect, twist, roast, edit and misrepresent anything she or Sen. McCain try to get across to their audiences. Stay with large crowds of general public audiences (nowhere close to Hollywood, CA) and let them know what Gov Palin/Sen. McCain plan to do for America once elected. Gov. Palin is a true asset to the ticket... we all need some fresh ideas, faces and visions to regain our future path as a great, patriotic, and democratic nation.

- SAN FRANCISCO TO GIVE ILLEGAL ALIENS ID CARDS

SAN FRANCISCO TO GIVE ILLEGAL ALIENS ID CARDS (REUTERS)

I could never respond to such IDIOCY nearly as well as this simple but elegantly worded speech by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 ! Please read below...
********************************

EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN needs to read this!

********************************
Our United States of America in 1907
The year is 1907, one hundred years ago...... READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.....

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American.

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

--- Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
********************************************


***** MY 2-CENTS WORTH*****

AMEN To Everything He Said Then in 1907 !!!

It is more true and applicable than ever now in 2007 !!!

Every politician (from city up through the national arenas) should take the one minute that it takes to read and absorb this simply but precisely worded statement !

HOW simple it would then be if all immigration issues were based off a central "backbone" with this straightforward... (no bullsh--)... understanding.

- CLINTON FIRES BACK SHARPLY...! (Newsmax)

********************************
CLINTON FIRES BACK SHARPLY AT DEMOCRATIC RIVALS ! (Newsmax)

So What's the big deal ? Why do we even care ?

She was just trying to fire the first volley of verbal "spit-balls" at her rivals; trying to appear tougher than her last showing... (when for days after the debate, she pouted and acted like she got her little feelings hurt when the big, bad boys named Edwards and Obama were picking on her... just because she couldn't make a straight statement without flippin' and a floppin').

Let them all throw their mud, jab each other, stab each other and brand one another with labels like untrustworthy, wishy-washy, dishonest and evasive.

Even the Republican candidates are getting in on the mud-slinging at each other.

I DON'T CARE ! MAYBE, Just Maybe... They shouldn't care either.

They should be able to stand straight and tall and let the "mud" slide right off their backs... without having to get down in the mud with the rest of them. BUT that can only be done IF they had a PLAN that actually ADDRESSES REAL LIVE ISSUES !

Forget about the name-calling and SHOW US YOUR DETAILED PLANS regarding better Border Security, improved Health Care, WINNING in Iraq/Afghanistan, ending Poverty in America, removing Illegal Immigrants, Homelessness, or reducing Crime in America.

Or MAYBE they could give us their "Yes" or "No" stance on many of the hot topics of today (abortion, gun control, universal health care, drug wars, crowded prisons, overtaxation, illegal aliens, overtaxed military, and on and on) WITHOUT going into a whole soliloquy and trying to straddle both sides of the fence on the straightforward issues.

Just TELL US WHAT your plan is, WHY you feel it is needed, and HOW you plan to accomplish it for the good of (legal) U.S. Americans everywhere.

Then step back, let us compare their personal qualities and plans... just LET US DECIDE who is the best candidate and which candidates SHOULD have "mud in their eyes".

- LAPD SHELVES MUSLIM Mapping Plan

********************************
LAPD SHELVES MUSLIM Mapping Plan (Drudge Report)


WOW ! Now that's a big surprise & headline, too. Stop the presses !

L.A. is caving in to "Political Correctness". Who'da ever thunk it could happen ?

Why did the LAPD cave in to a little letter from the ACLU and Muslim-American leaders crying about someone wanting to know where large numbers of Muslims live in the city ?

MAYBE, just maybe, the LAPD should resolve this NOT by dropping their mapping plan... but by EXPANDING the plan ! Why not discover where large concentrations of other major ethnic or religious populations are in the City of Angels ???

Such expanded info could be very useful to the police, social welfare groups and city planners, (...oh, and the INS) too.

As explained in the article, Muslim-Americans were targeted in case there were terrorist sympathizers or support groups. That's a righteous, understandable reason to me.

BUT don't forget about the German-Americans, Italian-Americans, Asian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Latino-Americans, African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Illegal Alien-Americans... and don't forget the most abusive, vocal, vengeful and dangerous of all... the Hollywood-Americans !

Each of these groups have their own minority of dark, "shadow" cultures associated within them (and great restaurant cuisines too)... BUT why shouldn't a large city learn where its people are (both legal and Illegal) ?

IF NOT for Homeland Security reasons (and to justify why the LAPD keeps receiving millions of $$$ from that Federal Government agency)... then disregard the crying of the very misguided few (can you spell ACLU) and DO IT for the protection of the many legitimate Americans (the millions of southern Californians) !

- INVESTIGATORS SNEAK Bomb Parts Through

*************************************
REPORT: Investigators Took Bomb Parts Through 19 Passenger Checkpoints (Drudge Report)

Well, that's just GREAT !

It sounds like airport passenger screeners are getting lax, distracted, lazy or are just untrained when it comes to the 19 airport "sneak throughs" in the latest report.

We don't need another "shoe bomber" incident to get our attention. If an airplane carrying 200 or 300 or even more people is blown from our USA skies... it would shatter the airline industry. The airlines have never fully recovered from the 9/11 disastrous attacks and the following threats of terrorist plots.

In my humble opinion, the airlines had better start putting their BEST, MOST ATTENTIVE personnel at the passenger screening lines... NOT their newest, MOST Easily Distracted workers.

I'm NOT saying they are incompetent, But... IF the "sneaked through" items were obvious and blatantly overlooked by screeners, those screeners should be FIRED or at least demoted and transferred far away from screening duties.

Get some TEETH back into the screening process...hand search more bags, add more bomb-sniffing dogs, or hell, just don't allow carry-on bags any more (those bags cause enough delays & frustration anyway, when people try to jam them into the overhead compartments).

Flying is scary enough for some people... without now worrying about bombers piecing together a bomb from smuggled parts !

- SOME OTHER HEADLINES On Drudge

*************************************
SOME OTHER HEADLINES On The Drudge Report


O.J. TO STAND TRIAL...

Give him a real trial this time, lock him up and throw away the key. Let him have a nice life BEHIND BARS where he belongs !


WATER PIG: MAN USES 2,000 GALLONS/DAY DURING DROUGHT...

Put him in the cell NEXT TO O.J. for a while. Making a rich guy pay a big fine doesn't get his attention --- he's got the money to pay. Give him a little jail time to help him come to his senses... a little quiet confinement time to think about the error of his ways. If the average "little guy" has to control his actions during the drought... then the "big guys" are no better.


EMBATTLED ELLEN CANCELS NYC SHOW PLANS...

Who the hell cares ? Big hairy deal.


NYU STUDENTS WOULD GIVE UP RIGHT TO VOTE FOR A PRICE...

Good. Buy their votes away from them... it's dangerous having money-grubbing, unpatriotic morons like them voting on important issues anyway.



That's my 2-cents-worth for today !!! See Ya' Folks.

- OPEC REJECTS US Call To Increase Production

*************************************
OPEC REJECTS U.S. Call To Increase Oil Production (Drudge Report)

Well, well, well. It sounds to me like the OPEC countries are again pulling all the strings to make us dance to their music... or we don't get to dance at all. They have us over the proverbial "barrel" again (the oil barrel that is).

Now the scuttlebutt is OPEC will reject/ignore requests from oil-guzzling regions like the USA, China and Europe to increase their daily output of crude oil.

It will be the greatest of days when future technology is developed to end our dependence on Middle-East and South American oil fields.

I will eagerly support whatever form of replacement power they can develop here in the USA... solar, nuclear, hydrogen, magnetic, wind, or whatever.

Then when countries no longer need the Middle-East oil, it will be our turn to watch the OPEC leaders... maybe they can sit down to enjoy "oil sundaes"... a bowl of desert sand topped with their own unsellable crude oil.

Then we'll see who is over a "barrel". That day can't come soon enough for me.
