The DREAM becomes a nightmare-

OK kids, we've got another "Do it for the children" Wellstonian moment from Prairie Pravda. This time for the children of "undocumented" immigrants. Meaning the children of criminals. The euphemistic acronym? DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors). The reasoning for special privileges for the offspring of criminals? They're innocent children. They have the seed of promise. All touchy feely. If you're against the DREAM, the Marxists at Prairie Pravda hang the term "dream slayer" on us.
Anything to fear from the DREAM? Not according to the enlightened social engineers (meaning they're manipulators). quote "Those who fear that the DREAM Act would make Minnesota a magnet for illegal immigrants should know that this state would not stand alone." And the reason for our fears to be allayed? Well, my friend, because there are nine other states that will also become criminal nesting grounds.My, my. There now. Don't you feel safer?
So, I'm a Dream slayer uh? And the Marxists at Prairie Pravda are coddlers of criminals and law breakers, killers of the real American Dream, the Constitution, the rule of law, granters of government dictated privileges for any number of self-described victims that legal American citizens are expected to pay for (in more ways than one).
So, who's the real dream slayer here?

Expanded government via Republicans part II

The WSJ doesn't quite have the timing right, but certainly the sentiment that I expressed below: The Republicans can not stop themselves. They have become mislabeled Democrats and extreme lefties.
From the end of the article:
A category five political storm is building in GOP precincts around the country, and it is going to blow Republicans right out of the majority in November if they don't soon give their supporters some reason to re-elect them. So far this year they've passed limits on free speech that liberals love, but they haven't been able to extend the wildly successful 2003 tax cuts by even a mere two years. And now they won't even allow a vote on budget reforms that their own President and a majority of their own Members support. At the current pace, a Democratic majority in Congress would be preferable, if only for reasons of truth in advertising.
An easy solution: Dump them all.

The problem with donuts is that there's too many calories in them

Seems that the rant again from Minneapolis is that there are too many guns on the street:
"The Rev. Ian Bethel, co-chairman of the Police-Community Relations Council, said the council plans to make sure the department does a thorough investigation of the crash. But he also made a plea for the community to work to get guns off the street."
Why not get the thugs, punks and bangers who use guns off the street instead. The one banger who was killed in this accident will not be involveed in any more drive by shootings I'd wager. Nor will he go to any movies playing near Block E with a firearm and shoot an innocent bystander. And he won't be shooting up any neighborhoods where innocent little girls are doing their homework. No matter how many firearms are on the street, this banger won't be using any. Now, if all bangers were off the street...do the math.

There's bad math, and economics, then there's scary math

I came across this article on what the real deficit is this year (notice that Congress uses an accounting method that it doesn't allow me to use as an independent business owner).Notice that the real defict is over twice what's reported. At the bottom of the article there is bad math/economics where Broder says that if we keep spending at the same level and keep the tax cuts and make them permanent, well, then we'd be in real trouble. Uh, no. Not at all. Ever.
As a friend of mine said, and I agree a deficit is never a revenue or tax problem. It always has been and always will be a spending problem. Period. End of story. Go on to the next book. Reagan's tax cuts brought in a 100% increase in revenue. The problem with the deficits then was that the Democratic Congress spent all the new revenue, then even more. And it's never a bad idea that people keep the money and more of the money they worked for. Thank you Karl Marx and your heathen spawn, you scum sucking servants of satan.
But what I shuddered at was that the actual deficit of $760,000,000,000 this year comes out to be a debt figure of $156,000 for each every LEGAL man, woman and child in America. That means that the unfunded Social Security and Medicare liabilities comes out to be $14,300,000 for each non-undocumented American (meaning a real, legal American). But, it's really worse because that cost will fall on our children and grand children. And the $14,300,000 is in today/constant dollars. What needs to be put into an ccount this afternoon. And that figure goes up by $800,000 each year.
That's the result of scary math.

The real lack of logic looney left's argument on illegals

Ann Coulter nails it again!

Oh, oh...

Yahhhh.....Potomac drinking water.

What does it take to REALLY expand government? REPUBLICANS!

Under GWB in five years, the government has expanded more than under WJC in eight years. Huh? And it started at least three years before GWB ever took office . The congress in 1997 was firmly Republican, and yet, look what happened with the Republicans in charge of Congress. And it wasn't until the Repubs were in charge of the White House AND Congress that we really started the government expansion explosion!
So, I have no idea why the lefties whine...unless it's the eternal "No amount of money spent is ever enough. Any tax cut is too much, and any tax increase is always too small."
As I heard it said before there are only two political parties: The party of Big Government (with its right wing [Republicans] and left wing [Democrats]) and the libertarians.
It used to be that I used to say that a new Republican (like Norm Coleman) only slowed down the growth of government from a Wellstonian 198 mph to only a neocon 137 mph (meaning we just bled to death at a slightly slower rate). Now it's not even that.
All that red ink? It's really blood. And I'm blacking out...

The right to be...

From my most recent email from The Patriot Post:
"Here's my immigration 'compromise': We need to regularize the situation of the 298 million non-undocumented residents of the United States. Right now, we get a lousy deal compared with the 15 million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented American community. I think the 298 million of us in the overdocumented segment of the population should get the chance to be undocumented. You know when President Bush talks about all those undocumented people 'living in the shadows'? Doesn't that sound kinda nice? Living in the shadows, no government agencies harassing you for taxes and numbers and paperwork." —Mark Steyn
The greatest of all the human freedoms? The freedom to be left alone.From the Declaration of Independence: HE has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance.
And I'll suggest again that the next time you are at a stoplight, look around and find one thing that is not taxed and/or regulated at some level of government, if not multiple levels of government. And realize again, the Cost of Government Day is in July. You work over half the year to pay for the total cost of government. And it's going to get worse. Much worse.
I like Mr. Steyn's idea.
I want to be left alone.

Like hubby wuggums, like wifey poo...

A real "culture of corruption" Part II from the junior Senator from NY.
And just a bit more about the Ex-Co-President.

The beginning of wisdom...and illegals

There is an old proverb I once heard that I repeat often:"the beginning of wisdom is to call all things by their right names." That means good is good, evil is evil, right is right, wrong is wrong. In the Bible, the greatest admonition is "Woe". It basically means "No hope."
Isaiah 5:20 is a dire warning to those who don't call things by their right names. And this means the left.
The left is excellent at demonizing (to cause to appear wicked and/or evil in the eyes of others is the true meaning of the word). Everything that falls out of their mouths is about "rights". The word "responsibility" is never applied to them or the victims they make up and claim to champion. And this is never more true now. The cause du' jour? "Immigration Rights".
Well, you evil doers on the left, we already have immigrants rights. What you want is rights for criminals. Come here legally, you have rights. Come here illegally...
And notice how in the latest batch of well timed spontaneous demonstrations there is an absence of Mexican flags? Seems the handlers of these criminals got smart and that showing the Mexican flag showed the true beliefs of these lawbreakers and their spokesmen. And what gets lost in all this is what about my rights as a citizen? Your rights as a citizen?
Read how the debate is framed (from The Detroit Free Press ):
Tens of thousands of people, mostly Latinos, protested legislation that would make it a crime to help undocumented immigrants. - Uh, that's "illegal immigrants". And when you help a known criminal, that's called "aiding and abetting".
Some of the Wolverine workers were undocumented, Herrada and one of the workers said, and wanted to march in the Detroit rally to show their support for immigrant rights.- We already have immigrants rights. They're protesting to make criminals legal, just kill the law.
"It was not fair,'" said Mercedes, a 31-year-old Detroit woman who attended the rally and was fired. "We went to fight for our rights." Mercedes is undocumented and asked that her last name not be used.
"It was really unfair of a company to do that," said Edith Castillo, head of the Detroit-based Latin Americans for Social and Economic Development.-Yup-not obeying the law, not going through the process. It's all about "fairness". And what's really unfair is that these illegals are in jobs that Detroit's black LEGAL citizens could be doing. THAT'S what's unfair.And notice Mercedes is an ILLEGAL ans she whines about fairness. No gratitude that Wolverine Packing may have managers hauled off to jail for hiring her. "We went to fight for our rights!" she blubbers like a three year old. And what rights are those? Please be specific.
And not a whit of gratitude toward The Wolverine Packing Plant for giving them jobs. Not a whit of gratitude for being in a country that allows these protests. Why aren't they going back to Mexico if America is so unfair, so intolerant. What would happen if they protested the corruption of the Mexican government...in Mexico City?
And, for S&G's let's extend the rhetoric with a re-defining of terms:
Carjacking:unauthorized transit/transport requisition.
Rape:Non-qualified and perhaps impermissible sexual encounter.
Bank robbery: Undocumented non-customer withdrawal.
Armed bank robbery:Undocumented non-customer withdrawal with inappropriate duress to the employees
Assault:unwelcomed insensitive physical moment.
Just a few thoughts.

Illegals and history revisisted

Seems the more things change, the more they stay the same.
From nearly a year ago I was blogging on the Mexican border and illegal immigrants (that means they're criminals entering America) both here and here.
And here is the warning to the president from the same time.
GWB has had five years to address this problem. And plenty of Americans warning him.
And now we have the criminal coddlers on the left crying "fairness, rights, etc."
And GWB has no one but himself to blame for inaction and then wrong action.
This does not bode well for Republicans this fall.
The conservatives who believe in laws are becoming very, very discouraged. Nah, that's not accurate. They are becoming more and more discouraged.
And as Dick Nixon said "You can't win with the conservatives alone, but you can't win without them."

Vicious criminals protected here

There is a report in both the Pioneer Press and Prairie Pravda on an unprovoked vicious attack on an innocent storekeeper in Vadnais Heights. Read the differences in the descriptions of these two cowards:
Prairie Pravda-The attackers were two men described as about 5-foot-8 and in their late teens to mid-20s. They both wore dark clothing and dark baseball caps. One of them had close-cropped hair on the sides with a small ponytail in back. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the sheriff's office at 651-484-3366.
Pioneer Press-The attackers were described as Hispanic males, each about 5-feet-8 and in their late teens to mid-20s. The man with the knife was wearing a dark blue or long-sleeved hooded sweatshirt. During the melee, Al-Bosaad managed to pull out the hood's drawstring.

The other suspect was described as having the sides of his head close-shaved, and he had a short "rattail" in the back. He was wearing a dark blue or black short-sleeved T-shirt, as well as a baseball cap with what might be the logo of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings.

The sheriff asked that anyone with possible information about the suspects call the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department at 651-484-3366.

Which paper has helped keep the community and innocent citizens safe by helping to apprehend these vicious criminals? Remember this was an unprovoked attack. These two walked in and with no warning leapt and attacked. They will do it again. They have probably already been involved in previous deadly assaults.
And, that it appears Prairie Pravda has an agenda favoring criminals (as it's coverage of the "spontaneous demonstrations for 'immigrants rights'") is there a link? Also remember, Prairie Pravda refused to give a full description of of the shooters in the Uptown murder of Mr. Zebuhr.
And as a final twist of irony, Prairie Pravda reports: "We want to catch them soon," Fletcher said. "The next time they do this, the likelihood of the victim surviving the attack is slim." and then provides the above less than full description.

Sins of omission are just as egregious and as vile as sins of commission.

There's always more of YOUR money available

Yup, always more of your money can be spent. And the governor believes that you haven't had enough of your money spent to prop up failed Minneapolis government policies. Not enough out of your pocket to the lefties of our largest city.
And what I find absolutely amazing is that in a budget of $1,240,000,000 the City of Minneapolis finds it impossible, absolutely impossible to find less than .2% (two tenths of one percent) to cut to come up with the $2,000,000 of your money the governor has so generously given R.T. Rybak.
Oh, and by the way, that $2,000,000 is only for the summer.
But not to worry. I have every confidence that you'll be able to earn more this year to have the governor take from you to give away to help those governed by the enlightened of Minneapolis.
So, be alert for all those overtime opportunities. After all, only you can help R.T. Rybak keep Minneapolis as safe as it's always been.
