BYGONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN PEOPLE CHOSE POLITICS TO SERVE A NATION. BUT POLITICS MEANS SERVICE TO NATION. TODAY'S POLITICIANS JUMP INTO THE FRAY NOT TO SERVE BUT TO MAKE MONEY. THE STUPIDEST PART IS THAT WE ELECT THEM. CAN'T WE HAVE A SYSTEM WHERE CERTAIN BASIC QUALIFICATIONS BE MADE MANDATORY TO ENTER POLITICS. BUT AGAIN, THESE DECISIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN BY THESE VERY POLITICIANS. WHERE DO WE AS PUBLIC STAND? I THINK THAT WE NEED TO REALLY PONDER ON THIS ISSUE. WE THINK THAT THE NEWER GENERATION OF POLITICIANS WILL BE DIFFERENT. BUT I DOUBT THEY ARE. WHAT CAN WE DO? ARE WE HELPLESS?

I am thinking of joining the military in a year, I'm 22, but I am not sure which branch would be better. My Dad and Brother went into the Air Force, but it seems people think it is not as respectful as the other branches like marines. Of course that is probably just rivalry.

I ask this because although many people have lost sight of this, and now many consider this to be a "Christian Nation", the fact is that the first 6 presidents (founding fathers) were NOT Christian. As a matter of fact, George Washington made a point of stating that is country is not founded on Christianity. The first settlers came here in part to escape the forced Catholicism of England. The first 6 presidents were actually "diests". They did not believe in the Bible, but rather believed that there was once a diety who created the Earth, put everything on it that man could possibly need, and then the Diety disappeared to leave mankind to use their brains and figure out how to put things to use to live and survive, etc...

Anyway, just a little background for the basis of my question. The origin of the law that was written forcing a witness to "swear under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth......" came directly from the Bible. One of the 10 commandments says something like

Does the fact that calling a spade a spade and being brutally honest is constantly being frowned apon in the UK , making people afraid to speak their mind and their opinions for fear of being racsist, homophobic etc. Is Political correctness the new form of Fascism developed to keep indigenous people of UK quiet while other nations , races get carte blanche treatment . I for one am proud to be British and all that it stands for . (No doubt some will take offence at this and report me , which will only prove my point lol)

CNSNews.com) - The chief law enforcement officers of several Texas counties along the southern U.S. border warn that Arabic-speaking individuals are learning Spanish and integrating into Mexican culture before paying smugglers to sneak them into the United States. The Texas Sheriffs' Border Coalition believes those individuals are likely terrorists and that drug cartels and some members of the Mexican military are helping them get across the border.

Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez of Zapata County, Texas told Cybercast News Service that Iranian currency, military badges in Arabic, jackets and other clothing are among the items that have been discovered along the banks of the Rio Grande River. The sheriff also said there are a substantial number of individuals crossing the southern border into the U.S. who are not Mexican. He described the individuals in question as well-funded and able to pay so-called "coyotes" - human smugglers - large sums of money for help gaining illegal entry into the U.S.

Although many of the non-Mexican illegal aliens are fluent in Spanish, Gonzalez said they speak with an accent that is not native.

"It's clear these people are coming in for reasons other than employment," Gonzalez said.

That sentiment is shared by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.).

"For years, Muslims and other 'Special Interest Aliens' from places other than Mexico have been streaming into the U.S. across our porous border," Tancredo told Cybercast News Service. "These people are not paying $50,000 or more a head just to 'take jobs no American will do.'

"Terrorists are working round the clock to infiltrate the United States," he added. "Congress and this administration must address this gaping hole in our national security and they must do it now."

Some of the more high profile pieces of evidence pointing to terrorist infiltration of the U.S. have been uncovered in Jim Hogg County, Texas, which experiences a high volume of smuggling activity, according to local law enforcement.

"We see patches on jackets from countries where we know al Qaeda to be active," Gonzalez explained.

The patches appear to be military badges with Arabic lettering. One patch in particular, discovered this past December, caught the attention of federal homeland security officials, according to Gonzalez and local officials familiar with the investigation.

Sheriff Wayne Jernigan of Valverde County, Texas, told members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in March about one patch that read "midnight mission" and displayed an airplane flying over a building heading towards a tower. Translators with DHS have said some of the various phrases and slogans on the items could mean "martyr," "way to eternal life," or "way to immortality. "

Gonzalez told the House International Relations Subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation in July that the terrorists are getting smarter.

"To avoid apprehension, we feel many of these terrorists attempt to blend in with persons of Hispanic origin when entering the country." Gonzalez stated. "We feel that terrorists are already here and continue to enter our country on a daily basis."

Sheriff Arvin West of Hudspeth County, Texas, told Cybercast News Service that he believes some Mexican soldiers are operating in concert with the drug cartels to aid the terrorists.

"There's no doubt in my mind," he said, "although the Mexican government and our government adamantly deny it."

Statistics made available through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) show more than 40,000 illegal aliens from countries "Other Than Mexico," designated as OTMs, were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol in the period ranging from October 2003 to June 2004, as they attempted to cross the southwestern border. An overview of border security challenges produced through the office of Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicates that almost 120,000 OTMs were apprehended while attempting to cross into the state from January through July 2005.

Local authorities are particularly concerned about illegal aliens arriving from Special Interest Countries (SICs) where a radical version of Islam is known to flourish. Perry's office cites Iraq, Iran, Indonesia and Bangladesh among those countries. A Tancredo spokesperson said the list also includes Afghanistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.

As Cybercast News Service previously reported an internal audit of DHS that combines the number of illegal aliens arriving from SICs with the documented instances of illegal aliens arriving from countries identified as being state sponsors of terrorism (SSTs) yields a grand total of over 90,000 such illegal aliens who have been apprehended during the five year period from fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2005.

The border security report delivered by Perry's office focuses attention on the "Triborder region" of Latin America, which spans an area between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

"The Triborder Region is a focal point of Islamic extremism," the report states. "Al Qaeda leadership plans to use criminal alien smuggling organizations to bring terrorist operatives across the border into the U.S."

Carlos Espinosa, a press spokesman for Tancredo, said his office is aware of a training camp in Brazil that actually teaches people from outside of Latin America how they can assimilate into the Mexican culture.

"They come up as illegal aliens and disguise themselves as potential migrant workers," Espinosa said.

The m. east is very big place that cannot be populated on every inch of space to think of overpopulation letterly. In my opinion can take more people, communities and cultures. Saudi Arabia is very big with large empty expanse of land, same goes for Iraq, Syria, Jordan, & many others in the region. This region and people also lay claim to one of the best civilisations and peaceful religion- Islam, religion of peace and tranquility with ability to help te needy without limitations/ hesitation. Knowing this to be tenets upon which culture and religion of the people is based, I cannot understand therefore why the whole countries in that region always fight with Isreal over a land strip that is not up to 1/50th of Saudi Arabia alone!!! With ability to assist others inbedded in the beliefs, why can't Isreal be accepted as a multicultural openess policy and accomodate Palestinians whom identifiy more with unicode of the region in other areas, showcasing peaceful Islam to the whole world?
