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.
