Politics & Government - 10 September 2006

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000
Presidential election.

Population of counties won by:

Gore: 127 million

Bush: 143 million

Square miles of land won by:

Gore: 580,000;

Bush: 2,427,000

States won by

Gore 19;

Bush: 29

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by

Gore: 13.2

Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won
was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off government welfare..."

After we have WON a couple of small battles with those bozos over there, people are saying we are losing and that becasue of this, we have failed. Are people so stupid? Do you not relize what this is? Its their final do or die moment. Its their last push. They have relized that if they fail at this, they are gone. Thats it! We aren't losing, their just doing their final push. Happens in every war.

I see the government trumpeting a hundred deportations here, a thousand there, after great investigative expense and morning raids by SWAT teams, etc. Yet Homeland Security estimates that there will be 302,000 subject to deportation in our county and state jails just this year who typically would NOT be deported.

Surely these are the ones who bother us most - why aren't they routinely deported?

What do you think?

A simple answer would be "it's a misdemeanor". But, truthfully ANYTHING you say when stopped can be used against you in court. Why aren't the police told to advise "violators" of this? Case in point, you get stopped, the officer politily ask "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" you answer...bingo self incrimination. And it's legal!

"LOS ANGELES -- Authorities raided a squalid house Friday, capturing 70 illegal immigrants and four suspected smugglers believed to have been holding migrants hostage while awaiting payment.

Federal agents and a sheriff's SWAT team entered the home before dawn, setting off flash-bang grenades to stun any smugglers inside.

Packed into the grimy one-story bungalow were 70 people from El Salvador, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Mexico. Some slept 20 to a room, authorities said.


"It was squalor, absolute squalor. Bug infestations, trash on the floor," said Frank Johnston, an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The house had bars on the windows and a surveillance camera to monitor the outside, Johnston said. A handgun also was found."
