Hillary Wants 5k- Anchor Babies To Abound

Hillary Clinton's call for $5k for every baby born in this country in the future is ludicrous. The so-called " baby bond" idea originated in California and Clinton has apparently co-opted the idea. The bond would supposedly pay for college or buying a home.

Of course Hillary was pandering as she spoke before the Congrssional Black Caucus and no one knows how serious she is, but the cost would be staggering considering there 4 million babies born annually in America.

Another question is..how will this impact illegal immigration? Our southern border,already overrun will surely become a highway for those seeking to get their children "off on the right foot" at the expense of American taxpayers. Anchor babies will proliferate.

Will Hillary's proposal deter or encourage illegal immigration? Surely it will encourage it as never before.

NY City And State Lawmakers May Penalize Columbia

The New York Sun is reporting that the city and state legislatures in New York may withohold funds from the school in the wake of the Ivy League institution having Iranian President Ahmadenijad as a speaker today.

Lawmakers have apparently warned Columbia President Lee Bollinger there will be repercussions for having the man who is officially listed as a terrorist by our government speak. In an interview with state assmebly speaker Sheldon Silver, the Sun is reporting that Silver says lawmakers are outraged and will consider holding back financial assistance for the school along with capital aid.

Silver and other lawmakers are joining an outcry that the school is giving a forum for propaganda and legitamizing the anti-American terrorist and leader. Bollinger says it is a matter of academic freedom and first amedment rights.

This is a most difficult situation. I detest Ahmadenijad and everything he stands for,especially his anti-Americanism and his tyranny in his own country,where there have reportedly been numerous executions recently. Some of the offenses given death were homosexuality and women being stoned to death for not following Islamic law.

Is this really the kind of person we want speaking at our institutions at taxpayer expense? Columbia students say they will grill him rigorously. We will see.

The question of whether we will allow this tyrant who is supporting forces that kill Americans daily in Iarq, one who denies the Holocaust, one who sanctions state terrorism, to have an open forum is debatable. Should the state and city legislatures stifle this type of " free" speech by withdrawing funds?

Columbia and schools like it have become podiums for what seems like anti-American propaganda recently. Who is correct,and should we abandon our principles to correct their seemingly traitorous nature? Is this free speech or legitamizing an illegitimate despot?

Ahamdinejad At Columbia

Should Ahamdinejad be allowed to speak at Columbia? If this is really about free speech why is Columbia University President Lee Bollinger denying the request of the press to hear the Iranian president and holocaust denier speak? Will there be debate or will this just be an open forum for the anti-American and Jew hater to spew his propaganda.

It is interesting that this is the same university that refuses to let ROTC chapters operate on campus. It seems on surface this is the continuation of anti-Americanism on Ivy League campuses. At least his request to tour ground zero in NYC was denied.

Dean

Olson Should Be Attorney General

Much has been in the news lately about who the next Attorney General of the United States should be. Democrats are eager to have a " non-political" attorney general. Is there any such thing , and should the Democrats expect such ?

Did Clinton or Carter or Kennedy provide the Republicans or America with such a person? No , of course not.

The best person for the job is brilliant constitutional lawyer Ted Olson. Olson represented Bush before the Supreme Court in the Bush v. Gore case. This shows just how talented he is. This is also the problem. Democrats will never confirm Olson without a fight that will be reminiscent of the Bork confirmation hearings.

Democrats could care less who the best person for the job is. They just can't afford to have Bush rub their faces in the mud before the moveon.org crowd.

Gingrich Says Republicans Need " Clean Break " From Bush

Former House Republican Leader Newt Gingrich says that Republicans need a " clean break" from President Bush to win the 2008 election.

Reuters says that Gingrich was quoted as saying, " If you don't represent real change, you just gave away the 2008 election." Gingrich cited the Iraq war, the federal government's handling of Katrina, and the country's broken borders and immigration system as proof that we need to change the way we govern.

He added: " I believe for any Republican to win in 2008 , they have to offer a bold ,dramatic change. If we nominate somebody like that, they get the nomination, but there is very, very little chance they can win."

This statement is probably true, the country is ready for a change. But is Gingrich... who seems to fancy the nomination himself, however undeclared he may be, the person who represents a " new diredtion "?

OJ IN THE NEWS- ROBBERY IN VEGAS?

O.J. Simpson is back in the news...the same day that his ghostwritten book, "If I Did It", was released. The book supposedly tells how O.J. " might have killed" Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman " if he did it."

This time he is accused of holding up a sports Memorabilia dealer at gunpoint, supposedly for items " that belong to me."

Can you get life for this ? Let's hope he gets the max allowed by law.

Seante Votes To Block Meixcan Trucks

A U.S. Senate vote on Tuesday to block Mexican trucks from traveling in OUR country is welcome. The Senate voted to block funding for a Bush administration test progam that will let long-haul Mexican trucks cross the U.S. and drive on our highways. The prgram s part of the 1994 NAFTA agreement.

This move is especially welcome since a Mexican truck loaded with dynamite exploded Monday.
29 people were killed when the long-haul truck hit a pickup truck. Do we really want unregulated Mexican trucks on our highways?

The Bush administration responded by saying it had "enough safeguards in placeto insure a safe and secure program." Hello..is anyone out there? W and his cronies have got to be kidding!

N.C. School Bans American Flag On Clothing

Talk about political correctness! Hobbton High School in Sampson County, N.C. has banned the American flag on clothing, even for 9/11.

Gayle Langston said her daughter Jessica wanted to hear her stars and stripes and stripes t-shirt, but couldn't. "Today she wanted to wear her shirt and I had to tell her no said Langston. Of all days, 9/11 she couldn't wear her American flag shirt.

According to the school, this policy stems from a controversy that became about because of students wearing flags from other countries. The superintendent of schools in Sampson County calls the unfortunate but said that educators " did not want to be forced to pick and choose which flags should be permissible."

Pick and choose? We are in the United States of America.. at least for right now anyway. So..why not let students wear OUR flag. I'm sure this is to avoid problems stemming from wearing the flag of other countries.. like say Mexico.. hmm.. that could cause confrontations. It seems this is denying AMERICAN CITIZENS their rights. Political correctness run amuck again!

San Francisco Drafting Legislation to Give ID Card To Illegals

San Francisco city supervisor Tom Ammiano is drafting legislation to give city ID cards to illegal immigrants according to Friday's San Francisco Chronicle.

Perhaps the most liberal city in America, San Francisco would be the first large city to do this, though it has already been done in New Haven, Ct. and the move is being contemplated in New York City as well. The ID card would make it possible for illegal immigrants to receive city services in this sanctuary city. Ammiano believes this would help illegals report crimes against them and so forth. An ID card would also grant them access to health care and other government services.

Is this the signal we should be sending to those that come here illegally , even as an anti-illegal immigration ground swell across the country helped to shhot down a recent amnesty bill? Opponents are furious.. and they should be. This measure will almost surely pass... and makes you wonder.. how many illegals will vote in San Francisco during next year's elections?

Increased Spying On Muslims

Word Comes from McGlatchy News Service this week that Germany is considering increasing spying on Muslims in that country in the wake of thwarting what might have been a " massive attack" on American installations there.

Surely there will be the usual outcry from the left , who will shutter at the use of such spying to find would-be terrorists. We should all be for preserving the rights of individulas to live freely not just in Germany but around the globe.

But do terrorists have a right to use those freedoms to kill innocent people ? Do those who are targets of terrorists have a right to live in peace and safety? If that takes some extra scrutiny from the authorities where the terrorists are hatching their cells...then so be it.

Giuliani: Illegal Immigration Not A Crime

Rudy Giuliani said on Glenn Beck's program Friday that illegal immigration was not a crime. Of course it is.. .though currently only a misdemeanor offense.

Comments like these will not endear Giuliani to the Republican base , for whom this is a hot button issue. Giuliani will probably not gain the nomination making such statements. That is probably bad news for the Republicans because Giuliani is the oneperson who would most likely beat Hillary Clinton head to head..

The failure to obey America's immigration laws should be made a felony in my opinion, ecpecially for those who only come here to take rather than give something back to America for the opportunities they gain. And lawmakers who do not respect the sovereignty of our nation should not seek the highest office in the land.

Kathleen Willey Says Clintons Stole Manuscript

Kathleen Willey , known as the woman who charged Bill Clinton with groping her in the White House, says now that the Clintons are behind the theft of a manuscript for her upcoming book.

Willey told WorldNetDaily that she was the target of a break-in last weekend that resulted in the theft of her manuscript. The book will apparently reveal damaging information that could harm Hillary Clinton's candidacy according to Willey.

Willey says that even jewelry and electronics were taken as she slept on her rural Virginai home, but that the pages of her manuscript were stolen. Willey said the theft was especially suspicious because it cam only days after the first mention of the new book in the media.

Among the revelations in the book are apparently the fact that Willey was threatened just days before testifying against the Clintons, and the fact that the person who threatened her tirned out to be lnked to the Clintons.

Interesting. Either the Clintons are the worst people who ever lived or get blamed for more than anyone else. Ever.'

Undermining Petraeus

S.A. Miller writes in today's edition of the Washington Times that Democrats are already hard at work trying to undermine the credibility of General David Petraeus before he delivers his findings on the success of the " surge" next week. Miller says that Democrats will portray Petraeus as a " mouthpiece for Bush" who can't be trusted.

Several Democrats including Dick Durbin, Sen. -Illl. and Seate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada as well as House Leader Nancy Pelosi of California hjave already referred to the coming report by Petraeus as " the Bush Report."

Republicans have raised skepticism by helping in the drafting of the report..and they decry the words of Democrats as " a preemptive strike." This is one area where there should be no room for partisanship and politic gamesmanship. Of course these things will take place however.

Pathetic happenings like Senator Chuck Schumer, Dem- N.Y coming out today and suggesting that gains in Iraq were not due to the hard work of our troops and were mostly attributable to
Iraqis growing tired of the insurgency and taking matters into their own hands and fighting for themselves are abominable politics and yet should give us hope that there will be a day when they can defend their own country.

The White House should stay out of the drafting of a report like this. Maybe the American people will soon grow tired of all these shenanigans and throw all the bums out. Now that will be a day to look forward to.

Fred Thompson Announces For President

Now that Fred Thompson has announced, will he win the Republican nomination.. and is he worthy of it?

It seems like the longing for another Ronald Reagan has led those in the Republican party who support his candidacy to become enamored of Thompson. They were both actors... and it's there that the comparisons stop in my opinion. Thomnpson is not as accomplished as several others in the race such as Romney , Giuliani or even John McCain.

The publicity Thompson has gotten strikes me as a bit odd in light of all the other candidates in the race and his relative lack of accomplishment as a political figure. My guess is that Thompson will finish third Behind Giuliani and Romney in the race for the Republican nomination.

There is a longing for a real leader in the Republican Party. I just don't think that rergardless of how much publicity he receives.. or how much he is tauted by the press and backers...he is that person.
