Today's Townhall Readings...

Some great work being done, as usual, over at Townhall. Doug Giles explains why no self-respecting Christian can vote the liberal ticket. Here are a few choice quotes:

Secularism to be continually mainlined into our public school system. Thanks to rabid, vapid secularism, our public schools and universities would rather you be a Rocky Horror super freak than a Christian. If your beliefs run to the bizarre or the banal; or if you want to smoke the same philosophical crack that Caligula, Nero, Castro or Lenin freebased, they'll accommodate you...Our schools are totally open to anyone and to anything, unless, of course, you're a Christian. And if that's the case, then you're likely to get more sympathy from a badger with minimal sleep than you will from liberal educators who are hard at work making your life hard.

The continued media endorsement of the same putrid, hedonistic stuff that sunk ancient civilizations. With the liberals in place, expect more weird crap in movies and on television. Expect to see more paintings of Christian symbols and saints smeared with elephant dung. Expect Christianity to be bashed and vilified and Christians made out to be buckled-shoed morons with three teeth and an IQ of 50. Expect the culture to coarsen. Expect your kids to continue to be exposed to things that only rock stars see backstage with groupies.

The Democratic Party's liberalism has degenerated over the last 40-50 years in regard to its view of Christianity and Christian rights. This party, which formerly embraced and protected our nation's great Christian heritage and teachings, no longer does so. Thus, today the Christian is between a rock and a hard place: he can either be a Christian or a liberal—but he cannot be both.

The whole thing is pretty aggressive; good reading. I read through a few other articles there, but most were not particularly powerful. Charles Krauthammer, however, never disappoints. His take on illegal immigration, which he's been writing quite a bit about lately, is dead-on. Today he's talking about the illegals' marches looking more American (fewer Mexican flags, more white t-shirts, etc.) and peaceful. The illegals are now comparing themselves to the blacks of the 60's. But Krauthammer, of course, isn't buying it:

Americans instinctively know the difference between these two civil rights crusades. Blacks were owed. For centuries they had been the victims of a historic national crime. The principal crime involved in the immigrant crusade is the violation of immigration laws by the illegals themselves.

Krauthammer sees the solution to this problem to be a tight border (for the first time), followed -- NOT preceded -- by amnesty. Here's the gist of his argument:

If you find a stranger living in your basement, you would be far more inclined to let him stay if he assured you that his ultimate intent is just to improve his own life and not to prepare the way for his various cousins waiting on the other side of your fence.

And that's the critical issue that the demonstrators and their supporters ignore. Is the amnesty they are demanding/requesting the beginning or the end? Is it a precedent or a one-time -- last time -- exception? Are they seeking open-ended immigration or do they agree that they should be the last wave of illegals?

So many big history-changing movements going on right now. Iran, illegal immigration, the liberal agenda. You really need to keep your eyes open in an environment like this.

Hilarious Comments on McKinney

The Ace of Spades blog has a short piece on U.S. Congresswoman McKinney's run-in with the Capitol police. But I thought the comments section below the piece was the real entertainment. Here are a few selections:

Cynthia McKinney shouts racism when there aren't enough pepperoni slices on her X-large from Papa John's. And once again, fellow readers, I have to apologize on behalf of the state of Georgia and the human race for this galactic embarrassment of a person.

---

I read their filing an amended complaint to add a charge of attempted "talk to the hand."

---

Based on her "new look" at the press conference, I'm guessing that the quality of the crack she's doing with Marion Barry has dropped off. That would explain the paranoia.

---

Did the bad white police man guy do that to her hair, too? The first thing I thought of was that SideShow Bob and Buckwheat had a child.

---

It is of essence for members of the Congress to 'b*tche slappe' the constabulary when they interfere with the business of serving the citizenry.

Ms. McKinney, Macy Gray called and wants her hair back. Oh, and the bong, too.

---

"What's up with the "backup" that you frequently see when black people give press conferences? All the other people in the background? Why are they there?"
That's the "amen" corner. "uh-huh" "that's right" "you go girl" etc. The men are also wannabe secret service agents/bodyguards and look around for any potential assassins. Of course, they'd be the first to duck in any such event.

This is all Bush's fault. If he hadn't been president, 9/11 wouldn't have happened, which means that we wouldn't need metal detectors in our buildings which means that our allegedly intelligent (smirk) elected officials wouldn't be required to remember something as complicated as putting on a lapel pin to walk through the security. OR...If Bush had just signed the Kyoto Treaty, the ozone layer wouldn't have disappeared and the sunrays would have filled Ms. McKinney with the high volume of brain cells required to remember to wear her lapel pin so as to avoid public humiliation. OR if Bush had bothered to pour billions of dollars into the levis in New Orleans, there would have been no flooding ergo, Ms. McKinney wouldn't have been so distracted worrying about them that she forgot to put on her lapel pin...or so distraught that she naturally reacted by hitting a uniformed law enforcement official in her distress. See? No matter how you look at it, it's Bush's fault (sigh).

Maybe it's just me, but this week has just plain sucked. Between the mexicans and George Bush telling us we're occupiers of America and McK telling us that in spite of the Civil War, Affirmative Action, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and being not only elected and rejected, but re-elected, she's still a victim of the whiteys. Personally, I've about had it with these douchebag politicians, professional race hustlers, and angry dwarves.

Wait a minute. Angry dwarves? That must be a new pressing grievance for NEXT week. Sorry. I am ever prescient. But I'm just saying...
Angry black mexican dwarves will rise up and challenge our very democracy because they, too, are aggrieved. They don't like the fact Cyntihia McKinney has an Irish name, just like they do. Next thing you know she'll be singing that Lucky Charms song. Magically delicious.

F---ing EVERYBODY is aggrieved.
When is it my turn?

What Planet Am I Living On?

I'm looking at the front page of Fox News's website tonight and I hardly know what to think anymore. The headline article shows a bunch of hoodlum high school students carrying a Mexican flag in front of them, protesting against the evil United States in a march. Where is this happening? In Mexico? NO! This is in Las Vegas. They're protesting for "an end to anti-immigrant legislation." Carrying the Mexican flag. Carrying the flag of another country, a country which millions have fled because of its corrupt government and crippled economy. They protest under the protection of taxpayer-funded police officers, squad cars, and a helicopter. On safe and clean streets, skipping taxpayer-funded school classes, all of which are available to them thanks to the hard work of American citizens and legal immigrants, all of whom built this great country with blood, sweat, and tears over several hundred years. These ingrates come here and squat, then start demanding rights they're not entitled to while carrying the flag of a foreign country. And the media and educational systems (i.e. liberal establishment) back them up 100%.

Below that photo is a caption referring to Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean's comment that the GOP needs to "reign in their extreme right-wingers." This from the extreme left wing leader of the DNC. And again, he gets the airtime. All this while President Bush is meeting with Mexican president Vicente Fox in Cancun, Mexico! The president not only doesn't get people's feelings on this matter; he is WAY behind these illegal immigrant protestors, to the point of visiting their country and laughing it up with their corrupt president, no doubt patting each other on the back for their great humanitarian work in solving Mexico's poverty problem (by transporting it to the U.S.).

To the left of all this nonsense is a collection of pieces about U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who assaulted a Capitol police officer the other day when he tried to stop her from walking into the Capitol building without going through security. She was not wearing her congressional identification pin (and we're told she is notorious for doing this, despite being told to numerous times) and when she skirted the metal detectors, she was told 3 times by an officer to stop, all of which she ignored. Then when the officer caught her arm, she wheeled and punched him in the chest with her cell phone in hand.

Interesting story, right? She's probably in big trouble, right? The article mentions the arrest warrant she might be served with next week one time. The rest of the article is a collection of quotes from all kinds of nut job anti-American racists like Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte, plus her lawyers. Yeah, she "lawyered up". These quotes are truly galling. Check this out:

Her lawyer said she was "just a victim of being in Congress while black. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney [is] a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin."

Racist Harry Belafonte:

"In America and Washington, D.C., issues of race have always been at play and have often been central to justice miscarried."

and the head of the NAACP in Georgia (where her district is):

"The mistreatment of Cynthia McKinney at the hands of Capitol Hill Police is a tragedy of major proportion and points to the vigor of outright disrespect for women and people of color,"

For her part, she's saying she did nothing wrong. She says the officers ought to recognize her and if they don't, that's basically their problem. She said so what if she doesn't wear her pin; supposedly many congress members don't. No idea if that's even true, but WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE? Rules exist for a reason, you big dope. In this case, those rules are FOR YOUR PROTECTION, so that someone doesn't come in and fake their way around the metal detectors, get into the Capitol, and blow the place up! How difficult is this to understand?

But all the congresswoman can do is point fingers at everyone besides herself. She says they didn't recognize her because she just had a makeover. "It is ... a shame that while I conduct the country's business, I have to stop and call the police to tell them that I've changed my hairstyle so that I'm not harassed at work." HARASSED! Unbelievable. And this is an elected member of Congress. She helps pass this country's laws!!! This is not some random woman off the street.

Here is the bottom line: In this country people are free to express themselves, and generally people are welcomed from all over the world. It is the greatest country the world has ever known, without question. This is not even debatable. People flock here from every country on the planet because we have built a model free, democratic republic. Yet for some reason, there are classes of people who feel like they haven't got as much as they deserve, and so they speak up and start blaming everyone else for their perceived problems. They play the race card at the drop of a hat (as though an elected member of the United States Congress had a leg to stand on in that department); and for some reason, the media pays attention to these offensive people. They scream RACIST at the top of their lungs without any kind of support for their claim, or any argument on their own behalf, and lawmakers listen. We have atheists out there trying to kill off Christmas and Easter, the two most meaningful Christian holidays of the year, and lawmakers listen, essentially agreeing that it's okay to persecute non-Atheists.

What is going on in this country? Where are we heading? When will this insanity stop? Or is this society about to implode?

Illegal Alien Racism

This site is amazing. The hatred, the vitriol, all in the name of "La Raza" - Spanish for "The Race". Why do Americans cower when Muslims and Illegal Aliens call them racists? Take one look at a site like this, an expose of blatant and violent racism perpetrated by illegal Mexican aliens, and then completely ignore ridiculous assertions of racism from the other side.

We Hate Gringos.

Let the Flash intro page load; it takes about a minute.

If you haven't noticed that this issue of illegal immigration is heating up rapidly, you need to crawl out from under your rock. They're marching in the streets by the tens of thousands; desecrating the American flag; raising the Mexican flag; shouting death threats; physically assaulting peaceful demonstrators who back the U.S. And no one is stopping them.

Apparently the Gloves Are Off

Students at Montebello High School today raised the Mexican flag ON TOP OF the American flag, AND turned the American flag upside-down on the flagpole, at the school. This, in protest of Congress working to pass immigration reform bills that get tougher on illegal immigration.

Does the word "ingrate" mean anything to you?

These morons get free education, paid for courtesy of the country they stole their way into, and they not only ignore that, but they SPIT ON the country providing it to them, along with all the other perks living here gets you, like a safe community, clean streets, reliable utilities, etc. All things they can't get in Mexico, yet they raise the Mexican flag and desecrate the American?

And where on Earth were the high school administrators during all this????
