This situation with the Feinstein/Craig Ag Workers Amensty amendment that is attached to the Iraq War Appropriations Bill is really too much for me to take.  This is The Bush Administration at its finest.  Now El Presidente Jorge Arbusto will get both some more blood money and an amnesty program.  Really, that is all he ever wanted.  He probably would have just gone back to the ranch a long time ago if we would have just shut up and let him have it sooner. 

The staff of "Fidel Mel" Martinez were playing dumb when I contacted them this afternoon insisting that this is not amnesty and our economy is going to suffer without this labor.  Of course when I suggest that if that was the case why do the workers need spouses and children along for the ride on the taxpayers ticket? 

When I contacted Minority Leader McConnels office I made it clear that this is an eternal issue.  If the Republican Party allows for any Amnesty program to go through I will NEVER vote Republican again, period.  Best part of it is they don't care because all they care about is $$$$ and they are going to have the bank account filled up by the time they all become losers and the party goes the way of the Whigs.  And as far as how little regard I now have for the Republican Party I have much less for the lower than whale s _ _ _ global socialist party who with such gross disrespect of American history refer to themselves as Democrats. 

Hope all of you are making those calls, sending those e-mails and letting others know about the latest Amnesty Against America Act!

My Hope Is in the Lord

Author & Musician: Norman J. Clayton, 1903-1992

My hope is in the Lord Who gave Himself for me,
And paid the price of all my sin at Calvary.

Refrain:
For me He died, For me He lives,
And everlasting life and light He freely gives.

No merit of my own His anger to suppress.
My only hope is found in Jesus' righteousness.

And now for me He stands Before the Father's throne.
He shows His wounded hands and names me as His own.

His grace has planned it all, 'Tis mine but to believe,
And recognize His work of love and Christ receive.

I believe that Bob Barr is an acceptable alternative to the three establishment, big government candidates. I would be interested to hear what others are thinking. We need to continue the mission and Barr might be the best path to do that now.

Oppose H.R. 5405 and a Social Security / National ID Card

An Alternative Plan for Implementing the REAL ID Act

House bill H.R. 5405, short titled the 'Social Security Identity Theft Prevention Act,' was introduced Feb. 13, 2008 by Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL). The stated purpose of H.R. 5405 is to protect seniors from identity theft and to strengthen national security. The bill is currently in referral to the House Ways and Means Committee.

The bill calls for redesigning the Social Security card to include a photo, fingerprint, barcode, magnetic strip, and computer data chip. That would for all practical purposes transform the Social Security card into a National ID card administered by the Social Security Administration.

In 2005 the Real ID Act, which passed in the House but stalled in the Senate as stand alone bill H.R 418, was foisted on America by attaching it as a Trojan Horse rider to H.R. 1268, a must-pass Asian tsunami relief and Iraq emergency supplemental appropriations bill (see H.R. 1268 House and Senate votes). As a consequence all 50 states are under orders to meet federal standards for redesigned driver's licenses, effectively turning them into National ID cards by the end of 2009. Implementation was originally planned for 2008 but postponed due to growing opposition.

The plan to force state governments to make driver's licenses Real ID Act compliant is in jeopardy due to objections by a number of state governments and grassroots resistance. H.R. 5405 appears to be an attempt to circumvent resistance at the state level by establishing a National ID card through a federally administered vehicle, the Social Security system.

What hypocrisy.  Such a politician. 

Tancredo Criticizes Pope’s Comments on Immigration

( WASHINGTON, D.C. ) – Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today criticized the Pope’s comments regarding U.S. immigration policy. According to reports, Pope Benedict XVI said the United States must do “everything possible to fight ... all forms of violence so that immigrants may lead dignified lives.”

 

“I would like to know what part of our lax immigration policy is considered violent,” Tancredo said. “I fail to see how accepting more refugees than any other nation –and providing free health care, education, housing and social service benefits to millions of illegal aliens is in any way ‘violent’ or ‘degrading.’”

Court rules against Bush, Mexican on death row

By James Vicini

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush exceeded his authority when he directed Texas to comply with an international court's ruling and reopen dual-murder case against a Mexican on death row, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.

By a 6-3 vote in a case that pitted Bush against his home state, the high court said Bush should not have ordered Texas to comply with the World Court ruling mandating the review of the cases of Jose Medellin and 50 other Mexicans in U.S. prisons awaiting execution.

Medellin was denied the right to meet with a consular official from Mexico after his arrest in Texas for the June 1993 rape and murder of two teen-aged girls.

The Hague court in 2004 ordered the United States to review his case, and those of the other Mexican death row inmates, on the grounds that his Vienna Convention right to talk to consular officers after his arrest had been violated.

Bush in 2005 decided to comply with the World Court's ruling and issued a memorandum to then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales directing state courts to review the cases to determine whether the violation of their rights caused the defendants any harm at trial or sentencing.

Chief Justice John Roberts said in the majority opinion that Bush cannot require the states to provide review and reconsideration of the claims of the 51 Mexican nationals, in disregard of state court rules and law.

Medellin's attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court and said a Texas court ruling that Bush had overstepped his powers and put the United States in violation of its undisputed treaty obligations.

The Bush administration supported Medellin and said the president must have the authority to ensure that the United States adheres to such treaty obligations.

The Mexican government also has weighed in on behalf of Medellin, who has been on death row since 1994.

Texas officials acknowledged Medellin was never told he could talk to Mexican officials. But they argued that claim cannot be made now because he never properly raised it previously. Even if his treaty rights had been violated, it would not have made any difference in the outcome, they said.

Roberts rejected the administration's argument that Bush has the authority to establish binding rules affecting court decisions that preempt contrary state law.

He said the memo -- a directive issued to state courts that would compel the reopening of final criminal judgments and set aside state laws -- is not supported by Bush's foreign affairs authority to resolve claims disputes.

Roberts, who was appointed by Bush, was joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, Bush's other appointee on the court. Justice John Paul Stevens concurred in the judgment.

Justices Stephen Breyer, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented.

Many of you know that I am a Baptist.  But did you know that Patrick was a Baptist too?  I've know this - little known - fact for quite some time.  So, since it is "St. Patrick's Day" I thought I would make a post in honor of the real saint Patrick.

St. Patrick was a Baptist

Rev. John Summerfield Wimbish, D.D.

 

The source for this record is a 1952 tract, published by the Calvary Radio Ministry, New York City, New York. It was part of the library of the late Elder Jarrel E. Huffman, pastor of the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church, Duncan, Oklahoma from 1978 until 1997. Every attempt has been made to preserve the style and structure of the original tract, although some formatting concessions were made to facilitate this medium.

~ August, 1997

 

_______________________________
A word about the message:

The sermon, "St. Patrick was a Baptist," was delivered to a thronged congregation at the Calvary Baptist Church of New York City by the pastor, Dr. John Summerfield Wimbish, on March 12, 1952, just a few days before the phenomenal St. Patrick's Day parade.

On the historic day 95,000 people marched up New York's fashionable Fifth Avenue and an estimated 1,500,000 spectators lined the streets. On the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral stood Cardinal Spellman and other ecclesiastics to witness the spectacle. Further up Fifth Avenue, the reviewing stand bore such dignitaries as Mayor and Mrs. Vincent Impellitteri, former Postmaster General James A. Farley and scores of city and state officials and military and church leaders.

The message was offered to a world-wide radio audience and there has been an unprecedented demand for it.
